Starting from the Valkyrie, pushing across the ages

Chapter 54 Raising troops
"Secretly release the news that my days are numbered."

Yang Zongxi glanced at everyone, and ordered in a deep voice.

It was said that all the generals in the tent were puzzled. If such news were spread, it would only shake the morale of the army.

Yang Zongxi didn't care about these people's thoughts, and continued to order:

"Mobilize all the troops in the two continents. Five days later, the king will hold an oath meeting."

The generals dared not disobey, and immediately took orders and left.

It was only at this moment that Sikong Yuan stepped into the tent, looking at Yang Zongxi who was a little out of breath on the couch, his tired eyes eased a lot:

"I'm going back overseas. There are still ancient inheritances that are not visible to the world. There are ancient alchemists in the world. I borrowed a few elixir temporarily, which can prolong your life for at least 20 years."

"Thank you." Yang Zongxi solemnly thanked him. For him, 20 years was enough to leave his flesh and blood before his death.

This is also a good thing for the world. The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and the king has no heirs. Even if he takes the world, after his death, the world will inevitably be in chaos.

King Zunqing was severely injured, and the news that time was running out exploded in the two continents of Qian and Xuan.

At the same time, under the deliberate promotion of the Great Xia court, in just a few days, the news spread almost all over the eight continents. For a while, people in Qianzhou and Xuanzhou were panicked, and the soldiers' minds were unstable.

In this regard, Yang Zongxi has never given a response, not even the slightest message.

Five days passed in a flash, and all the soldiers from Qianzhou and Xuanzhou were concentrated on the border of Yuanzhou, a total of more than [-].

The big camp stretches for dozens of miles, and is heavily guarded and heavily guarded. In front of this kind of army, it is difficult for the Grand Master to get through, and the Great Grand Master has to weigh one or two.

In the camp, in a partial tent.

Yang Zongxi sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror. A woman in a green dress stood behind him, combing his long hair. Not far away was a pot of pitch-black, viscous juice.

Black leaf lotus, ground into powder and put into water, dyed beard and hair, completely black, not fading in water for half a month.

Yang Zongxi's originally much older face was now refreshed, rosy and glowing, and he looked no more than [-] years old.

When the black hair was half dry, Yang Zongxi got up, looked back at his princess, and smiled faintly:
"How does the king look now?"

"Heroic."

Song Ruizhen said softly, "It's the same as 20 years ago."

Hearing this, Yang Zongxi couldn't help laughing, turned around and left the camp.

Outside the tent, the entire army was silent, and elites from all walks of life gathered in the school grounds.

In front of an army of nearly one million, Yang Zongxi swore an oath in public and issued a military order. Within two years, he would capture Yuanzhou, destroy Shengyang City, kill demons and eliminate demons, and restore peace to the world. .

On the general platform, King Zunqing's voice was full of aura, which could be clearly recognized several miles away. His black hair was like a waterfall, and his heroic appearance was radiant, without any trace of the rumored imminent aura.

The rumors that have been raging in recent days are self-defeating, and they are regarded as the imperial court's tactics to attack the heart. They are just false rumors.

The day after the swearing-in meeting.

King Zunqing raised a land and water army of 93, known as a 150 million army, to enter Yuanzhou from the Yuxuan Pass of Xuanzhou, and the soldiers pointed directly at the imperial capital.

…………

…………

Lingzhou.

On the wide official road, there are escorts in carriages.

The distance between Lingzhou and Xuanzhou is not far, and we can already see the fleeing people, with their families, fleeing the flames of war.

Not only did people flee from Xuanzhou to Lingzhou, but many people began to move from Lingzhou to Xuanzhou.

The news that Qian and Xuan Erzhou will be exempted from taxes for four years has already spread, and the reputation of respecting the king's benevolence and generosity has spread all over the world, and now the army is in full swing.

Now in Eight Continents, all powerful families have begun to secretly fork out branches and invest in King Zunqing's command, while preserving the family's blood inheritance, in an attempt to gain the merits of the dragon.

The aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years have relied on such means to continue their family's incense. Even if one day, there will be scenes of fratricide on the battlefield.

Between a barren hill not far from the official road.

Now that spring is deep, there are all kinds of flowers all over the mountains and plains.

Hereby—

Shen Qing put the knife back into its sheath, and there were headless corpses scattered all over the place, lying on the ground in a mess. The strong smell of blood mixed with the mountain wind, blowing all over the fields, and was hidden in the faint fragrance of flowers.

In order to facilitate her journey, she changed into a black dress that was easy to move, her long hair was tightly tied behind her head, and she wore an ordinary silver mask on her face. In the eyes of outsiders, she could not even distinguish between men and women.

Maintaining disguise for a long time is not a small burden on the face, the bones will be deformed, and at the same time it will be distracting. Masks are obviously more convenient.

This kind of dressing to hide one's identity is not uncommon in Jianghu.

Under the peach tree not far away, two women huddled together, looking terrified, until Shen Qing retracted the knife, and one of them had the courage to lean over.

"Thank you, hero, for your help."

There was still fear in her voice, and after gathering herself, she begged a little: "Can you ask the hero to protect the two of us again, my lady is..."

"No."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qing interrupted her directly and began to touch the corpse.

She has encountered this kind of robbery and murder several times along the way, and she has only met two innate martial artists in total, which can be regarded as replenishing some energy. Besides, the biggest gain is some silver taels.

"This barren mountain and wild ridge, if you don't take action, there is no way for the two young girls to survive, this..." The woman's complexion changed slightly, and Ai Ai said.

"Then you all go to die."

Shen Qing weighed the silver tael in his hand, glanced back, the long knife that had just been sheathed at his waist slipped out two inches, and said softly:
"Would you like me to give you a ride?"

She does not invite life, because she herself has asked for death, because sometimes death is indeed a relief.

Now it is a bit troublesome for her to travel alone, and this time she made the move smoothly, and it is impossible to bring two burdens on the road.

Hearing this, the woman froze for a moment, choked the rest of the words in her throat, and didn't know how to react for a while.

Shen Qing pondered for a while, took out 50 taels of silver and threw it at the woman's feet:

"Ten miles to the west is the official road, go and find a way out."

Seeing this, the woman wanted to speak, but the woman behind her had already walked over, picked up the silver taels on the ground, and bowed to thank:
"Xie Daxia, today's kindness, I, Wen Lingyu, have written it down."

Shen Qing nodded indifferently, turned and left.

"Hero, can you leave a name?" Wen Lingyu chased after two steps.

"December."

…………

…………

Northwest of Lingzhou, Xuequan City.

After entering the city, Shen Qing didn't delay, after asking the way, he went straight to Tonghai Inn.

However, when she arrived at Tonghai Inn, all she saw was the closed door and the seal of the Daxia Inspection Department on the door.

After some inquiring, Shen Qing understood the reason.

Now that everyone in the world knows that the Tonghai Merchant League is under the command of King Zunqing, it is naturally impossible for the court to be completely unresponsive.

Not only Lingzhou, but also the other continents. Most of the industries related to Tonghai Merchant Alliance were forcibly sealed up by the court, and many people were arrested, but they were just ordinary people. Secretly transferred away, whereabouts unknown.

Looking at the Tonghai Inn with a seal on the door, Shen Qing frowned for a moment.
