This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 272
The Shenguan is long, standing among the mountains.

The peaks and ridges are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the towering checkpoints are like gates of heaven, overlooking the mountains and the common people.

Throughout the ages high clouds clustered around the city, and the autumn wind blew away the sound of horseshoes.

Shenguan sits in the west of Yuzhou, and is the east barrier of Shendu. The mountains and ridges are criss-crossed, forming a natural danger, and it is known as the most powerful pass in the world.

On this day, the sun was setting and the sunset was like fire.

At the tall and majestic Qiaolou, many adults from the six ministries, including the Minister of the Central Military Department, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, gathered.

The Qiaolou is dark and bright, the edges are refracted, and the balusters are empty, and the red clouds are like bunches.

The north wind blew the battle flags fluttering.

After a long time, someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"coming!"

Everyone looked up into the distance, only to see a black line suddenly appear on the ground.

Long halberds are like forests, swords and guns are heavily guarded, tens of thousands of troops seem to be shrouded in a cloud of evil spirits that cannot be dispelled, and they are slowly coming from the east.

"It really is a master of a hundred battles, how majestic!"

Guo Shengxiong, who was then Minister of the Ministry of War, spoke in admiration at Qiaolou.

The Minister of the Ministry of War is a high-ranking official of the imperial court. He is in charge of the military guards and military officers of the whole country. Officials' promotion and transfer orders must be confirmed by the Ministry of War documents.

This is also a way of categorizing the central power of the Qianyuan Dynasty.

However, generals such as generals and hussars do not have the power to "select and confer", but they have the ability to "recommend". military power.

This time General You led the army to return to the court. In accordance with the requirements of military officials to remove the award and enshrine the shade, in addition to the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was also accompanied by the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials.

Coupled with the Huangmen servant who represents the identity of the emperor, they greeted the army together at Shenguan.

Guo Shengxiong was the highest-ranking official at the scene, and when he spoke, the three servants beside him all agreed a few times.

In the crowd, someone suddenly said: "The right general, Qin Hu, is bright and intelligent, he is proficient in martial arts, has no mistakes in his strategy, and has no hesitation in enlisting. This time he led the army to defeat the rebels. The Holy Majesty is relying more and more on him. He should be a leading military officer."

This comment was quite abrupt, especially the first few sentences, which were so old-fashioned that those who had to be highly respected would not dare to comment.

Everyone looked sideways, and a white-haired old master came to Qiaolou and stood beside Guo Shengxiong.

Guo Shengxiong smiled: "Doctor Xu is absolutely right."

Guo Shengxiong was just saying in passing that Xu Jin, a senior scholar of Confucianism specially invited by the Ministry of Rites this time, has a pivotal position in the Confucian literature.

According to the etiquette system, Dr. Xu will be required to sign an article for the ceremony of sealing the shade in the future.

Although he is old, his writing skills are getting better and better with age, and he belongs to a highly respected generation.

So when everyone heard him comment on Qin Hu, they naturally felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Everyone chatted in the city for a while, and then the appearance of the army in the distance became more and more clear. Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a group of troops approached the Shenguan.

Cao Su rode on the black wind horse.

He raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see a majestic pass standing among the mountains.

This pass is about tens of feet high, the terrain is dangerous, and the building is majestic. It seems to lock the throat and firmly cut off the westward route of Yuzhou.

Just looking at the height and danger, even with a hundred thousand soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to fly across.

When I look into the distance, I can see the undulating mountains on the north and south sides of Shenguan, green and fresh, and the clouds in the middle of the peaks, if floating or fixed, seem to be embedded or floating, coming suddenly and leaving without a trace, just in time for the setting sun , Jinyu sunset glow, colorful, and the mountains are like a picture scroll, blending into one.

At this time, it had been more than ten days since Cao Su left Lingzhou Xiangcheng.

Ten days ago, Cao Su left Yincheng and rushed to Xiangcheng.

In Xiangcheng, Cao Su found Cao's father, Cao's mother and Liu Luan, but Meng Yao was nowhere to be seen.

After the Battle of Lushan started, he and Meng Yao lost contact.

Communication is really underdeveloped these days. Without the support of a powerful intelligence agency, it is impossible to easily find a person in the vast world.

Cao Su doesn't care about Meng Yao's affairs either. This woman is strong-willed and has a good talent for swordsmanship. It's just that she has been exposed to martial arts for too short a time, so she can't help him for the time being. If she can make a breakthrough in the future, maybe she can do for him something.

He told his parents directly that he was going to be an official in the capital of God.

Cao's father, Cao's mother and Liu Luan were of course extremely happy to see Cao Su.

Hearing Cao Su's invitation to go to Shendu, he agreed without thinking.

It's just that Liu Luan was quite disappointed when he heard that Cao Su didn't know Cao Xing's whereabouts.

After obtaining the consent of his parents, Cao Su asked Wu Ming and Wu Yun to escort them all the way and send the elder and sister-in-law to Shendu for resettlement. In Shendu, Cao Su had already asked Yang Ping to find a suitable house to live in.

After Cao Su took care of everything, he returned to the army.

Just in time for the army to arrive at Shenguan.

The imperial court's tens of thousands of troops marched slowly, with a sense of desolation and solemnity.

Approaching the Shenguan, but the Shenguan has no intention of opening or closing.

This surprised Cao Su somewhat.

Not long after that, Qin Hu ordered the army to stay in place, just outside the Shenguan.

After the army gave an order, they quickly set up camp.

As night fell, Shenguan had just dispatched a small official to inform Qin Hu.

"It's getting late today, so it's not suitable to switch on and off. Tomorrow, the gods will close the canon to welcome the army. At that time, many adults will open the main gate to welcome them."

Qin Hu's face was calm after listening to the little official's words.

It's just that some of the generals below were furious.

"My lord, it's so irritating. I waited to fight on the front line and saved these people who can only talk about it, and then they actually made us wait outside the Shenguan for a night?"

Qin Hu's general Shi Ren showed a look of resentment.

The little official quickly explained: "The generals don't know something. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites, the army must first burn incense and bathe to remove the evil spirits from their bodies, and then offer sacrifices and pray for the 'Supreme Heavenly Primordial God', and enter the customs wearing the morning light."

When Shi Ren heard this, he became even angrier: "Fart, why didn't you have this rule before?"

The little official showed a look of embarrassment: "Today is different from the past, this is the canon appointed by the emperor."

"All right!"

When Qin Hu heard this, he lowered his eyes and gave Shi Ren a cold look: "The imperial canon is a major event, and it is normal to be more rigorous and complicated. Everyone should go back to the camp and wait for the canon to be completed tomorrow before entering the pass."

Shi Ren curled his lips when he saw Qin Hu speak, but finally stopped talking.

At Qin Hu's request, all the senior generals returned to the camp.

Cao Su also returned to the camp to rest.

The camp is guarded by [-] elite troops from his headquarters.

Zhao Xi lifted the curtain of the camp tent and brought Cao Su some tea.

"Where do you get tea in the army?"

Cao Su was very surprised, the conditions in the army were bad, why didn't he come for a few days, and there was still tea?

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "It was sent by the right general."

What the middle and low-level officers cannot enjoy, may not be enjoyed by senior officers.

Qin Hu is already pretty good, although he can't do the same clothes and food as the famous general in ancient times, he can sleep without a seat, ride without riding, wrap up food for himself, and share the labor with the soldiers", but at least he didn't do anything too exaggerated Special treatment, no beauty in the army, no night banquets, relatively poor.

After Zhao Xi put down the tea, he backed out.

Sitting cross-legged, Cao Su picked up a book, sipped his tea, and read it slowly.

After the tea was finished, Cao Su put down the book.

Then he took out a black lacquered seal and a bronze mask.

The seal and the bronze mask were both items obtained from Chen Zhen that day.

Cao Su checked with Ouyang Xuanji, and both items were safe.

After applying means, she erased the original aura above to avoid being followed.

The bronze mask is a magic weapon. After wearing it, it can change the aura of a warrior. For example, after Cao Su put it on, the original violent aura became much softer, and the aura of the whole person was not as obvious as that of the little sun.

If Cao Su restrained his breath a little bit, his breath would become obscure and silent.

The seal is also a magic weapon, named "Boundary Breaking Seal", which is the identity symbol of the outer sect disciples of the Tianji Pavilion.

The Tianji Pavilion is pervasive, and the reason why the identities of the disciples are so strange and hard to find is obvious.

Cao Su was very satisfied with these two instruments and carried them with him.

After careful study, I found that the method of use is also very simple. For example, this bronze mask, as long as you put it on, it will change your breath, and this boundary-breaking seal, after holding it in the palm of your hand, you can really feel that it is everywhere around you. The power of the slowly flowing realm.

The changes in some realms were clear in his chest, and he tried to hold the boundary-breaking seal, and the whole person could easily pass through the camp.

But it was limited to tents, and it would not work in more spacious places. For example, he couldn't get through some old trees on the side of the road. If he hit his head while holding the Boundary Breaking Seal, the whole tree would be broken.

In general, I like to mention the low-profile versions of "Breathing Containment Technique" and "Wall Piercing Technique".
