Chapter 29 A Wild Wolf(1/2)
Ning Chen's body froze, his sleeves thorned, turning into fragments all over the sky, and instantly missing half of his sleeves.
“#¥%&”
Ning Chen jumped up and pointed at the old man and almost cursed, but he swallowed it again.
He dared not!
Ning Chen sat down indignantly, poured half a pot of tea, and then suppressed the turbulent anger of the Ren and Du meridians. People should respect the elderly and love the young. This old man didn't know how to love the young, so he didn't care about him.
Tolerance, you must tolerate it!
However, he did not gain anything at all. At least, he had proven that he really couldn't beat this old man...
Running away is far away, and practicing requires hard work.
Therefore, in the following days, Ning Chen stopped arguing with the old man. Most of the time he spent practicing the mental method on golden paper in the carriage, and circulating the true energy in the sea of qi over and over again.
The carriage finally recovered from tranquility, so the old man naturally would not care what Ning Chen did. Moreover, the first-rate martial arts rookie is really not worth noting.
On the tenth day, the team who sent off the bride had walked more than 700 miles away from the Daxia Imperial City, and entered an endless wasteland.
It is now late autumn, and the quiet wasteland is even more desolate. When the cold night comes, it makes people feel a sense of unsightly coldness.
"Ao"
"Ao"
The wolf on the wasteland roared towards the moon, causing the camping team to get nervous. Everyone knows that the most terrifying thing on the wasteland is not the tigers and leopards, but the wolf packs.
The wild wolf is cunning and vicious by nature and is good at preying at night. He is a demon on the wasteland. It is extremely difficult to survive as long as it encounters it.
There are many things in this world that cannot be provoked, one of which is the wolves on the wasteland. This kind of vengeful and vicious animal, once provoked, will follow like a maggot and bone-bearing bone, and will never give up until the goal is achieved.
Fortunately, the bride-sending team is large enough, with more than a thousand people, and with 500 imperial guards, ordinary wolves dare not provoke them at will.
It turned out that night was quiet and nothing happened.
The Great Xia Imperial Army is not an ordinary army. You can feel the different oppressive aura for several miles apart. Even the martial arts powerful people are unwilling to easily touch their edge.
It was impossible for the bride to send a bride to protect him. However, this also shows how much Emperor Xia attached great importance to the marriage between Daxia and Zhenji Kingdom. Daxia needs the stability of the northeast border so that in this way, he can concentrate his energy on the Northern Meng King Court in the north and the Eternal Night God Sect in the west.
Daxia has the most powerful force in the world and has enough advantages to face either side, but it does not mean that Daxia is not afraid of anyone. Daxia has been invincible for thousands of years, but it has never been able to bring the hearts of the world to itself, because Daxia does not believe in gods.
Daxia did not believe in gods, and for thousands of years, he used force to conquer and governed the country with Confucianism, and established a prosperous dynasty.
Thousands of years have passed, and the people in Daxia have forgotten that a thousand years ago, the strongest forces in the land of China were not the kings and princes under the rule of heroes, nor the Dayin Dynasty that was overthrown by Daxia, but the Eternal Night God Sect that believed in the world.
The ancestors of Daxia rose like a comet, and their extremely powerful sharpness forced the Eternal Night God Cult to a desperate situation. They had to hide in the dark for thousands of years, waiting for a day to come back.
During the thousand years of Daxia's rule, the influence of the Eternal Night Divine Cult in Daxia has been reduced to the lowest point, but outside Daxia, the influence of the Eternal Night Divine Cult is still deeply rooted.
The same thing is said, Daxia is not afraid of anyone, but it cannot sit idly by and watch the world attack Xia.
Zhenji Kingdom is the best breakthrough point. Compared with the Northern Meng Royal Court and the Eternal Night Sect, although Zhenji Kingdom is the most clamoring, its national strength and courage are the weakest. As the saying goes, a barking dog will not bite people, let alone a dog with teeth pulled out.
The 20,000 war horses, which were sent by Zhenji Kingdom in such a timely manner, not only solved the urgent needs of Daxia, but also cut off half of its combat power.
It was worth it to sacrifice a clan princess in Daxia for 20,000 war horses.
Ning Chen had never seen Princess Whisper, but when he heard that the latter was personally requesting to be a chess piece for marriage, he would inevitably feel a little curious.
If it weren't for the great sages and wise men who care about the world, this princess's thoughts would be worth thinking about.
If you think about it carefully, this matter is not without traces. All beings are mediocre, but the word "benefit". From now on, you can see clues.
There are nineteen princes and princesses in Daxia, but only five are truly powerful.
Four kings, plus the Ninth Princess.
However, behind the four princes who were crowned kings, there were shadows of royal relatives.
Now that I think about it, this Princess Whisper and Prince Hua are not as uncontested as they seem.
Xia Miaoyu went to Zhenji Kingdom to marry a marriage, which had a great impact. Emperor Xia would definitely make considerable compensation to Prince Hua. At this time, receiving the support of Prince Hua will be a great help to the four kings.
A idle prince suddenly became a hot character. If it were just a coincidence, even a fool would not believe it.
What's more interesting is that the powerful and powerful people in the imperial city know that the Ninth Princess and Xia Miaoyu have a good relationship. Compared with many so-called legitimate brothers in the palace, the relationship between the two is already considered close.
The ninth princess' brother is the eldest prince, the deceased imperial concubine. He has a noble status and is supported by the eldest grandson behind him. He can be said to be the most legitimate successor of the throne.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the marriage is unrelated to the eldest prince.
But this is the most unreasonable thing.
Everyone knows that the eldest prince Xia Ziyi is the descendant of the Confucian sect. He is full of righteousness and his dislike is intrigue. If he was not born in the imperial family, he would even be the candidate who is most likely to inherit the leader of the Confucian sect in the world.
Not only Ning Chen can't figure this out, but everyone in the world can't figure it out.
And the person who knows the truth the most is sitting in a gorgeous carriage and never shows up.
It is precisely because of this that Ning Chen became the most idle person in the entire team.
The wasteland is very large, and the whole day the bride-sending team has not yet ended. Ning Chen will practice in the old man's carriage. People have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and subconsciously choose the place they think is the safest.
It is obvious that in Ning Chen's heart, the old man is the strongest person in the team, and the safest place is around the old man.
Ning Chen never thought that this trip to the bride would be smooth sailing. There were too many people in the world who would marry Daxia and Zhenji Kingdom, so many that he could not count his hands and feet.
Emperor Xia sent 500 imperial guards and secretly added a martial arts master, obviously to prevent those who are interested.
In Daxia, it is absolutely impossible to blatantly mobilize a large number of troops to attack the wedding brigade team. The only way is to ambush and assassinate the martial arts powerful.
Ning Chen still cannot understand the extent that a martial arts master can reach, but he has seen the seriously injured Qingning take action before, and the ability shown in his every move is beyond the ability of ordinary people to resist.
He didn't know how strong the old man was, but his intuition told him that the old man's strength was definitely not weaker than Qingling.
A few days ago, he clearly felt how fast the sword was. If the old man had not had any murderous intention, he would have buried his bones in a foreign land.
"Ao"
"Ao"
"Ao"
Suddenly, the sound of wolf roars echoed through the wilderness, and the bride-sending team suddenly became panicked. In front, the heavy armored general tied the horse rope, the five hundred imperial guards stopped, and the spirit of calm was observed.
In the team, the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom who had been silent for more than ten days had a bright eye and a very strange expression.
If Princess Miaoyu dies in Daxia, the responsibility will be in Daxia. The marriage between the two dynasties will cause variables. Even the Zhenji Kingdom can use the excuse to deal with the 20,000 war horses.
"alert"
The heavy armored general shouted in a deep voice, "The situation is not normal. The wolf is a spiritual thing and will never die for no reason. There is a deterrence of five hundred imperial guards here. If the wolves dare to appear, there must be something in secret control."
"rustle"
In the quiet atmosphere, the sound of wolves stepping over the dead grass sounded in everyone's ears, gradually becoming more and more obvious, one end, two ends, ten ends, one hundred ends...
In just a few breaths, hundreds of wolves gathered from all directions, and the number was so large that people could not count them.
"Woo"
A low sound came, and the formation of the wolf pack suddenly changed, and all attention was focused on the gorgeous carriage in the middle of the team.
"Woo"
Another low sound of sound, the wolves roared to the sky, their vicious eyes were gone, and their bloodthirsty devils ran towards the carriage like crazy.
"Protect the Princess"
In front of the team, the heavy armored general shouted loudly, and with a wave, the five hundred imperial guards moved quickly, connecting sword lights to prevent the wolf pack from rushing.
The imperial guards of Daxia are the elite among the soldiers. One person is the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. The sword light is like rain.
However, there were too many wolves, and they were pouring in black like a tide. When the human resources were finally in poverty, a gap began to appear.
Ning Chen got off the carriage and stayed next to Princess Wiaoyu's carriage. At this time, the most important person was the woman in the carriage. If something happened to her, no one present would survive.
The old man was still calm, and the sword placed on his knee was even more quiet and cold, indifferent.
Ning Chen knew how terrible this sword was. He was the only person in the team who had come into contact with this sword at close range. Therefore, the most important thing to overcome this difficulty is the sword.
"Ao"
The madness of the wolf pack was beyond everyone's imagination. In the situation where the imperial guards were almost massacred, they still rushed over without fear of everything. Finally, the first wolf broke through the blockade and came to the carriage with injuries.
The imperial guard was dragged down, and the old man had no intention of taking action. Facing the only wolf who broke through, no one could come forward to stop it. The strange situation suddenly made the atmosphere present tense.
Ning Chen is the closest person, standing next to the carriage, facing the wolf, and becoming the last barrier.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ning Chen is not a martial arts master, and he is even worse than an ordinary imperial guard.
However, Ning Chen was left in the injured Wolf and the horse workshop. If Wolf wants to attack the witty princess of the carriage, she must kill the human being in the way.
Ning Chen was stupid. He didn't expect that the old man would really not help. Looking at the fierce wolf, he was sweating all over.
It was too late to run at such a close distance, and behind him was Princess Whisper's carriage. As long as he dared to run, he would probably not be able to see the sun tomorrow.
"Gu"
The wolf stared at Ning Chen with his green eyes, and a deep cooing sound kept making in his throat, his front paws bent slightly, and then he rushed forward.
Ning Chen's scalp numb and his head was unable to react. He subconsciously fell to the ground and rolled away from the wolf that was rushing towards him. However, when he heard a sting, the sound of his clothes tearing, most of his shoulders were grabbed by the passing wolf claws.
To be continued...
