Chapter 754 Expectation
Asan replied yes, then picked up Mangliu and left Xisha's yard.
At this time, Xisha ran quickly to the depths of the valley to tell his father the good news that he had been waiting for for more than ten years.
At this time, deep in the valley, it is no longer the beautiful place with mountains and rivers like the outside world. It is now heavily guarded and has been transformed into a large arsenal.
Various metal ores are continuously mined from the canyon and then transported here to be forged into world-famous armor-piercing steel by the master craftsmen in the workshops.
Outside the arsenal is a huge military camp. The soldiers in the army are descendants of the guards who escorted the Prince of Pingbei to safety.
Although there are only a thousand soldiers among them, their equipment and their own strength make such an army no less powerful than the most elite main corps built by the great kingdoms at great expense.
The sounds of training and shouting could be heard from there. The contemporary prince of the royal palace was also wearing armor and sweating on the training ground with the soldiers.
The instructors in the palace acted as the generals in the army and commanded the soldiers on the high platform to complete the changes in the military formation.
The current King of Pingbei already looked very old, but even so, he was still wearing heavy armor and reviewing the training of his troops.
"Everyone, cheer up! His Majesty is still waiting to summon us. Are you going to respond to His Majesty's call in this state?"
Although King Pingbei is old, his voice is still sonorous and powerful.
Countless times in his dreams at midnight, he would always recall the night when he escaped from the empire when he was still the crown prince.
He witnessed with his own eyes the death of his father and several legendary masters among the rebels, and saw with his own eyes the 13th Emperor, his uncle, being forced to commit suicide.
The shadow guards who were originally supposed to be guarding the uncle were escorting these royal descendants to break out of the imperial capital.
It was a night of blood and fire. After escaping, he became the King of Pingbei from the Crown Prince. He wanted to go to the northern border and recall the Great Wall Army that was guarding the northern border to quell the rebellion. However, after arriving in the north, the passage to the northern border had been blocked.
In the end, under the endless pursuit, he could only flee with the remaining troops to the alchemy land that the empire had prepared for the alchemist Zhu Wan.
He was able to survive with the help of the alchemy formation in the alchemy land.
And countless nights, he dreamed of being able to fight back.
Before this, the fourteenth and fifteenth generations had launched uprisings in the eastern part of the empire. Every time he thought the time had come, but every time when he was ready, he received news of defeat and suicide.
Although he was very sad, when he heard the news that the prince had successfully escaped, he always told himself that there was still a chance.
And after so many years, he has never relaxed for a single day.
They also continuously sent people out to inquire about the whereabouts of the new emperor, and at the same time they were thinking about how to cross the rebel blockade and go to the northern border.
He collected his thoughts and listened to the shouts and sounds of killing, but among these sounds he could faintly hear someone saying that His Majesty had appeared.
"Am I really old? I'm actually hallucinating."
King Pingbei couldn't help but mutter.
However, Xisha, who broke into the military camp, told him clearly that he was not hallucinating.
"Father, His Majesty has arrived, His Majesty has arrived."
When he heard what Xisha said, he rushed to Xisha like a gust of wind.
Then he said with a serious expression:
"This matter of Xisha is not something to be joked about."
Xisha took a breath and said:
"I didn't lie to my father. It was Ah San who told me that His Majesty had arrived with the King's Sword."
When he heard the words "Sword of the King", King Pingbei's hand that was holding Xisha's shoulder could not help but tremble.
He had waited for this news for more than a hundred years. Now that the emperor he had been thinking about finally appeared, he suddenly felt at a loss.
At this time, the training on the training ground also stopped, and everyone turned their eyes to King Pingbei, waiting for the prince's confirmation.
"Quick, quick, take me to see His Majesty."
The old King of Pingbei's eyes were red and filled with tears, and he spoke to Xisha with a trembling voice.
Then he turned to the soldiers and said:
"Your Majesty has arrived, Your Majesty has arrived."
At this moment, the army, which had been somewhat depressed because it had not heard any news about His Majesty for many years, immediately became excited.
Their ancestors were the most trusted shadow guards of His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, but at the last moment, their ancestors were unable to protect His Majesty by his side. This has always been a shame for their ancestors.
And this shame was inherited by them along with their blood, and they all thought about following the call of the new Majesty all the time to wash away the shame that started from their ancestors.
Then the King of Pingbei summoned his son Dean and the palace instructor Bourne.
King Pingbei named his son Dean because he didn't want his son to forget the kindness that His Majesty had shown to their palace.
Dean has been educated in loyalty to the emperor by his father since he was a child. His greatest wish is to assist the current emperor, help him wipe out the rebels in the world and restore the empire.
The three of them took Xisha to the village entrance, while Chen Cheng and the other two were being led into the village by Ada and the other two.
When seeing the scenery in the valley that was different from the outside world, Chen Cheng also admired their ability and luck to find such a place to settle down.
"Your Majesty, this place isn't naturally like this. The prince used the alchemy array left here by the alchemist Zhu Wan to create this pastoral landscape."
Ah Si introduced him to Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng had heard Zhu Wa talk about this before, but at that time Zhu Wa's alchemy was belittled by Samlet, and he had not seen the real thing, so his feelings were not that strong.
But now that he has seen the real thing, and realized that in this wind-blown and sandy world outside the northern desert, there is still a paradise like the misty Jiangnan, Chen Cheng has to admire Zhulun.
If there had been bamboo wheels in his previous life, preventing wind and sand would not have been so difficult.
While Chen Cheng was looking at the scenery in the valley, he was also looking at the buildings in the valley.
Although Ada and the others still acknowledged that he was the emperor of the empire, who knew what the owner of this place was thinking?
The best way to see a person's ambition is to look at the house he lives in.
A person who is content with the status quo will never treat himself badly after gaining a certain amount of power.
If he were a man who endured hardships and endured hardships, he would definitely not waste manpower and resources to build a luxurious residence.
Although this is a one-sided view of people, most people are ordinary people, and most of them are like what is described above.
But Chen Cheng looked for a long time and did not see any large palace. The best house he saw here was a stone courtyard located on a protruding wall of the valley.
Chen Cheng pointed to the yard and asked A Dadao:
"I see that courtyard is the tallest. Could that be where my uncle's palace is?"
Ah Da Zi didn't think about what Chen Cheng meant by asking this question. He just thought that Chen Cheng wanted to see the prince as soon as possible, so he replied:
"That's not the prince's yard, that's the chief instructor Bourne's yard. He lives there and can use his binoculars to check the situation within dozens of miles.
Because transporting wood to build the courtyard would have taken too much manpower, the prince asked Instructor Bourne to use the stones from above to build the courtyard."
Then he pointed to a farmhouse-like courtyard not far to the left and said:
"This is the prince's residence."
Then he pointed to two places, namely Princess Xisha's courtyard and Prince Dean's courtyard.
