Chapter 601: I don’t eat it, no one is allowed to eat it

The military generals in the border town are good-soundingly martial artists, but they are bad-soundingly bastards. Such people are most arrogant. At least on the one-acre and three-point land in the town, they have always acted recklessly. Tong Guan was able to conquer them as an eunuch, which shows that this person's methods are not just about observing words and taking advantage of tricks.

Chen Ao led his team to the more desolate north, and walked a hundred miles northward to the Xihe River. He could no longer tell where it was the Song Dynasty or the Xixia people. Looking up, the land here was quite fertile, with weeds everywhere, but there were no traces of cultivation.

Chen Ao sighed. This was originally the old place in Guanzhong, and it was the richest place a thousand years ago. Now things and people have changed. If it were not for the border town, it would be a paradise.

The team did not go fast, and the scouts were released on time and rewarded them at all times. Although it was not a war, it was a place where the marching was taken to the lieutenants to intern. The coaches of each team led their men back and forth and ran around. If they met a hare, they shouted, and dozens of cavalry lieutenants jumped over, led their bows and arrows, and shot them in one go. They might not be able to kill with one blow, but they were full of strength.

At this time, the envoy of Xixia Li Yong dared not underestimate these lieutenants. Although he still said that the elite cavalry of Xixia was powerful, he just lost the confidence he had in his previous words.

At night, they set up camp and didn’t carry much horse materials. The lieutenants took sickles to cut out some lush water plants, and then fed some horse materials to feed the war horses. The night classes were also carried out as usual. In addition to talking about some knowledge of horse army combat, they also had to recite the Four Books and Five Classics. The newly compiled lieutenants’ textbooks were already available, and the text was just read according to the script.

After walking for seven or eight miles, the outline of a city in the distance finally appeared. Li Yong held his horse and said excitedly: "The Western Xia Kingdom has arrived, and Longzhou is convenient. Prince is young, so I will say hello to the guards first." After that, he rode the horse over and ran towards Longzhou City.

Chen Ao stopped moving forward, looking at the broken city on the horizon from afar, Li Qingda came immediately, and looked at Longzhou meticulously, while saying, "The prince... I escaped from here."

Chen Ao said softly: "Aren't you back now? No one dares to underestimate you anymore."

Li Qing nodded and said, "My subordinates and wife and children are also dead here, and I really don't know what it is to visit the old place again." He sighed and shouted to the lieutenants: "Get up and prepare to enter the city!"

The cavalry team rumbled towards Longzhou. Several Xixia scouts from Longzhou rushed over, keeping a distance from the horse team from afar, but did not come forward to disturb them. They roughly counted the number of horse team members before returning. Then the city gate opened wide, and teams of Xixia warriors surrounded Li Yong and a general of Xixia.

The Xixia general's unexpected skin was fair and did not look like a martial artist at all. He came over and looked at Chen Ao, then said lightly: "Is the Prince of Penglai, Song State ahead?"

This sentence is very rude, and Chen Ao said politely, "Since you know, why are you asking? My soldiers are tired and want to go to the city to rest. Let's prepare."

The general snorted coldly and said, "The prince can enter the city, but no one else can."

Chen Ao smiled, and Li Qing behind him was ready to move, already a little angry, shouting: "Yelixian, you are so rude."

Yeli glanced at Li Qing first and sneered, "It turned out to be you, the traitor." After saying that, he ignored Li Qing and said to Chen Ao: "This is the rule of our Xixia border town, please don't blame me."

Chen Ao smiled faintly and said, "The rule of our Song Dynasty is that since we don't let them enter the city, I can only settle outside the city, come and camp on the spot. You can also go back first."

Yeli hesitated for a moment, Li Yong hit his horse and whispered a few words, and said secretly for a while. Yelitian gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, open the city gate, and ask the Prince of Penglai and the Song army to enter the city."

After entering Longzhou, Chen Ao knew what the city in the border town was. If the Xihe side was solemn and slaughtered, it could only be described as depression. Along the way, there was no shop. Except for teams of Xia soldiers, there was no trace of people. Occasionally, there were a few merchants wearing furs leading camels and horses over. The camel had bells tied under its neck, which was crisp and pleasant, and even more desolate.

Li Yong had been with Shen Ao for a long time. Seeing that Chen Ao was thinking, he returned to Xixia and was in a very good mood, so he asked, "What are the prince thinking?"

Chen Ao said deeply: "I didn't know what it meant to not poop, but when I got here today, I realized that there was such a place to go."

Li Yong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly, and stopped sticking to Chen Ao's cold butt, consciously slowed down and left behind the team.

After all, it was an envoy from the Song Dynasty. What he meant was that, it was called Yelixian and had a banquet that night, and Chen Ao and others were invited to drink. Chen Ao and Li Qing brought dozens of lieutenants to accompany him. There were only a few Longzhou officials and military generals here.

Chen Ao sat in the upper head, Li Qing, Yelixian and Li Yong, and the others were either standing behind Shen Ao to guard or sitting on the table.

This was Li Xian who suffered Chen Ao's loss and was quite indignant. However, after hearing Li Yong's words, he knew that this person was powerful and he was a master who would cause trouble even if he had nothing to do. If you go and provoke such a person, you might cause something big. So he first gave Chen Ao a smile and turned the topic to Li Qing, and said to Li Qing: "General Li, I haven't seen him for ten years. I didn't expect that he would be so carefree in Song State, haha... Can you marry and have children in Song State?"

Yeli mentioned the four words "marrying a wife and having children" first. Li Qing's face changed, suppressed his anger, snorted coldly, and ignored it.

Yelixian raised the wine cup and took a sip, and said, "I've gone to Song State, I'm sure I won't be able to drink such a bad wine anymore. General Li wants to drink a few more glasses." After that, he laughed.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold. Li Qing placed the wine cup heavily on the table and glared at him and said, "Li was uncomfortable drinking the wine of Xixia Kingdom, which is far worse than the Qiong Yao jade wine of the Song Dynasty."

Yeli looked at Chen Ao first and said, "Prince, can this strong wine from Xixia be tasted? If you talk about strong wine, my Xixia must be the only one in the Song Dynasty."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Whose wine in the two countries is more intense is hard to distinguish? There is one thing, and the Western Xia Kingdom defeated the Song Dynasty."

Yelixian said with interest: "I would like to ask the prince for advice."

Chen Ao said: "The Western Xia Kingdom is better than being arrogant and unreasonable."

After blurting out these words, Yeli's face suddenly changed, and he could not refute it for a while. However, the Xixia generals below started to clamor, whispered and looked at Chen Ao jealously.

Chen Ao, as if no one else was around, continued to drink, was the prince's honor, and there was no need to sell their face.

Yeli looked at Li Qing first and snorted coldly: "It's not the case. For example, General Li betrayed his homeland. Is this also the ritual advocated by you Song people?"

Li Qing said angrily: "Yelixian, you are too presumptuous."

Yeli suffered a loss from Shen Ao. At this time, he was about to find it back from Li Qing and sneered: "So what if you are arrogant? Li Qing, this is Xixia!"

A good banquet, after only a few words, it became tense in an instant, and the atmosphere fell to freezing point. Chen Ao took a sip of wine, then slammed the wine glass to the ground, grew up, and said coldly: "How can you drink this wine like this? Humph, I have seen the way of treating guests in Xixia people, it's better not to drink this wine."

Yelixian snorted coldly but did not speak. Everyone brought by Chen Ao also left the seat. Li Qing stood up and glared at Yelixian.

Chen Ao continued, "But, I have a habit. Since I cannot drink this wine, no one is allowed to drink it! People come and smashed the place."

Li Qing and dozens of lieutenants obeyed the orders, without hesitation, overturned the tables one after another. For a moment, the wine cups and the wine jars were smashed and the hall became a mess.

When the generals of the Western Xia army saw it, they were furious and tried to draw the sword. However, as soon as the blade was pulled out half, they immediately, and three or four swords on each person's chest were facing each other. No one was sure. If they moved again, would the tip of the knife with a cold light pierce into the flesh?

"Smash hard!" Chen Ao shouted, and the remaining captains immediately chopped and kicked. The hall was in a mess, and it was smashed.

Yeli was pointed at by a knife and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

The Western Xia envoy Li Yong's face changed drastically, and he said tragically: "Prince, you have to bear the consequences..."

Chen Ao rushed forward, raised his hand and slapped Yeli first, and Yeli never caused any pain. He gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Ao angrily, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "What I want to do is also what you can ask? This is Xixia, but if you want to ask, you Xixia King will ask you. What are you? In my eyes, you are just a rebellious dog, and you don't even know the ranks and inferiors." After that, he spat on Yelixian's face, and turned around and left.

Yeli had to take action first, but the captain who was holding the knife next to him had already given a point in front of the knife, making him unable to move.

Chen Ao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I'm tired all the way. Since I can't drink this wine, let's go and stop the team."

The lieutenants returned their swords to the sheath, gathered around Shen Ao, stepped on the messy ground, and walked out of the hall in the stunned silence of the generals of the Xixia army.

Yeli Xian was breathing heavily, looking at Chen Ao with resentment, but he couldn't speak at this moment. However, Li Yong next to him said: "General Yeli Xian calmed down. This surnamed Chen has always been like this. What you said just now has become a little too much. He is the prince of the Song Dynasty, and he is the princess who came to participate in the prince's princess recruiting son-in-law..."

Yelixian spitted on the ground with a mouthful of phlegm, glaring at Li Yong and said, "What's the use of saying these now?"

Li Yong was also silent for a while.
