C1367 Down the Saber Cliff
The soldier called Old Wang looked at this young man and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"I just want to ask. A girl like Miss Qingcheng has extraordinary talent and powerful strength. Moreover, her appearance is also very pretty. If anyone can marry such a girl, I'm afraid that it will be a blessing in eight lifetimes, right?"
"I think you want to marry her, right?" Old Wang looked at the young man's flushed face as he spoke and spat unhappily.
The young man's thoughts were seen through. He scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Aren't you saying this for nothing? Right now, in the entire Wei Kingdom, which man doesn't want to marry a girl like this? Moreover, it was said that the life of a girl like this was usually quite boring. If they met an interesting man, then you will devote your heart to him and offer your body to him."
As the young man spoke, his gaze had already become distant. At this moment, he suddenly felt someone hit his butt. When he came back to his senses, he discovered that it was Old Wang, who had used the handle of his halberd to smack his butt.
"Old Wang, what are you doing?" The young man waited for Old Wang in anger, as if he would fight with his life if he didn't give him an explanation.
Old Wang rolled his eyes at the young man and scolded, "I say, kid, stop daydreaming here. You joined the army late. Any soldier who joined the army two years ago, who doesn't know that Miss Qingcheng already has someone in her heart?"
"Someone in love? What kind of person is that?" When the young man heard Old Wang's words, he immediately felt a sense of loss. However, he asked with some unwillingness. From the looks of it, he seemed to be thinking about whether or not he could be the hoe that would pry open the wall.
But how could Old Wang not guess what he was thinking? He glared at him and said, "Forget it. That person is thousands of times stronger than you."
"Hey, back then, I was the best of the best in the Ten Mile Eight Villages. Even if I joined the army, it only took me a short year to enter the Royal Guards from the reserve army. If not for the invasion of the devil, this year's combat examination, I would definitely be the most outstanding one. I could even be placed in an important position by prime minister Xu. If you say that person is stronger than me, I would believe you. If he is thousands of times stronger than me, then I really don't believe you." That young man said with an unconvinced expression.
Old Wang shook his head. He looked at the young man and wanted to say that he didn't know how tall the world was. However, he heard a deep voice from the side. "What are you two talking about?"
Old Wang's body immediately straightened up like a javelin. He was an old soldier who retired from Profound Gate Pass. After the Barbarian Clan destroyed the country, he became a guard in the capital city. He had some experience in the military. If it was a general scolding him, he could shut his ears and pretend not to hear anything. However, the person who spoke just now was the general Qi Yulong, whom the entire Wei Kingdom army knew they couldn't offend.
It was not that Qi Yulong had high qualifications, it was just that he was a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes. Even if it was the personal soldiers of his subordinates who had violated the military rules and regulations... He would also hang them up and use them as whips, not to mention these ordinary soldiers who did not have such a good relationship with him.
Qi Yulong wore a silver-white dragon pattern armor and a purple-gold sword sheath at his waist. He strode towards the two of them. First, he sized them up. This is an important place in the Falling Blade Cliff. Behind us is the land where the people of the Wei Kingdom live. If we let go of a devil, one of the civilians might die because of it. You are neglectful of your duties. Can you bear the responsibility? "
The two of them lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. However, they were not very nervous. Although what Qi Yulong said was right, the Falling Blade Cliff's checkpoint had been built for four months. The devil in front of them didn't go in this direction, and it was unknown why they knew that the soldiers were guarding this place. Still have no interest here.
However, no matter which one it was, most of the time, the city gates of Falling Blade Cliff were still relatively lax. At least, when the other generals saw this kind of idle chat, they would turn a blind eye to it. Qi Yulong's personality was rather irritable, but he would only scold a few words.
After scolding him, the two of them looked at each other from below, thinking that Qi Yulong should leave now. After all, according to past experiences, after Qi Yulong said all this, he coldly snorted and left.
But this time, Qi Yulong did not seem to have any intention of leaving. He said to the young man, "Furthermore, I heard that you are somewhat unconvinced just now. I would like to hear what you are going to say."
"I dare not." The young man thought that Qi Yulong was going to take advantage of the situation to get angry, so he quickly replied.
However, Qi Yulong glared at him and said, "If I tell you to say it, then say it to me."
The young man raised his head and looked at Qi Yulong. He could see the thick anger in Qi Yulong's eyes. For some reason, he suddenly felt angry from the bottom of his heart. He said loudly, "I am 23 years old this year, and I am a Fourth Stage. If it wasn't for the invasion of the Devil Clan, I would be this year's top martial arts scholar. Old Wang said that man was thousands of times stronger than me, and I couldn't accept it."
" Hahaha, what an unyielding person. " Qi Yulong laughed loudly and asked again," Then let me ask you, do you have any military merits? "
"That is not a chance." The young man raised his head and explained.
"Then do you know why you did not have the chance to earn military merits?" Qi Yulong asked again. This time, the young man didn't say anything else.
Qi Yulong smiled faintly and said, "Okay, then let me tell you.
The person you mentioned is called Yang Xuan. Counting the time, he should be twenty-one years old this year. He once led troops in Profound Gate Pass to defend against the Northern Barbarian Tribe, and in two years, he killed more than a hundred thousand enemies. Back then, when the Evil Cultivator had destroyed the empire, he had single-handedly saved all the people in Lo Capital. Later, when the Evil Cultivator entered the capital and killed all the members of the royal family, it was he who saved the last bit of the dragon vein in the royal family. That was why he had the current Saint. The reason why Wei Kingdom was able to retain a trace of stability when the Devil Clan invaded was because of prime minister Xu. Minister Guan was personally promoted by him in the past. The second reason was because of the large piece of land left behind by the Northern Barbarians. This was the territory he had conquered with his army. If it wasn't for him, Wei Kingdom would have been destroyed a long time ago. Where would I get the chance to make you talk about whether you are convinced or not?
If you want to talk about talent, he is a Second Stage at the age of sixteen, a Fourth Stage at the age of seventeen, and a Sixth Stage at the age of nineteen. A mere Fourth Stage is nothing in front of others, so what do you have to say?"
The young man's face turned red from Qi Yulong's words, but he was still unconvinced in his heart. He raised his head and tried to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. For a moment, he became silent.
