"Wu Ningyue?"
Hearing this familiar name, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But before he could react.
Nangong Pushe on the side explained coldly.
"Wu Ningyue is the eldest daughter of the current King of Zhenbei. She has fought with her father on the battlefield since she was a child, and her current cultivation level has reached the sea-viewing level."
"It is worth mentioning that not only is his force amazing, but his strategy is also unique!"
"She won many of the famous battles of King Zhenbei through her suggestions! In a sense, she can also be regarded as King Zhenbei's strategist!"
After listening to Nangong Pushe's explanation.
Gu Qingfeng nodded thoughtfully, a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the girl in front of him was about the same age as him, but her abilities were so terrifying!
The key is.
Wu Ningyue has been on the battlefield since she was a child and has killed countless enemies. It stands to reason that she should be riddled with murderous aura.
But Gu Qingfeng didn't feel any murderous intention or hostility in her body!
Moreover, she has an extremely soft appearance. She does not look like a female general who killed tens of millions of enemy troops on the battlefield, but looks like a sweet girl next door!
The more he looked at Wu Ningyue, the more obvious the doubt in Gu Qingfeng's eyes became.
What is certain is that this girl is definitely not that simple!
And at this time.
Hearing Nangong Pushe reveal his true identity.
Wu Ningyue smiled slightly, and her two shallow dimples made her look more innocent.
Immediately afterwards, she supported the eaves with her hands, exerted slight force, and flew to the ground in an instant, appearing in front of Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qingfeng.
"It seems that my reputation in Beiliang is pretty good!"
Her smile was very sweet. If he hadn't known that she had grown up on the battlefield, perhaps Gu Qingfeng would have thought that she was an inexperienced little girl.
"Miss Wu has made many military exploits in the north. There are not many people in Liyang who don't know about you!"
Nangong Pushe said calmly.
Wu Ningyue also laughed when she heard this.
But then, her eyes stayed on Gu Qingfeng. After looking up and down, she asked with some doubts.
"Are you Gu Qingfeng?"
Facing Wu Ningyue’s question.
Gu Qingfeng responded calmly without hesitation.
"This is Gu Qingfeng."
Hearing this, Wu Ningyue nodded.
"The sword you used just now is indeed terrifying. Although you are only at the second level now, your swordsmanship is very profound. No wonder that bad old man Li Chungang has taken a liking to you and regards you as his old friend."
"Now your reputation is soaring. I can almost hear voices discussing you all the way to Beiliang."
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng's expression remained calm and he did not respond to her.
But he could also clearly see that the other party was coming for him.
At this time, Wu Ningyue suddenly touched the chest of the ancient sword in Gu Qingfeng's hand, with a hint of regret in her beautiful eyes.
"It's a pity that Xu Xiao doesn't know how to cherish a talent like you!"
"I clearly promised your father to betroth Xu Weixiong to you, but he regretted it in the end, which made you become an abandoned son of the Xu family."
"If you could come to the north and help my father resist foreign enemies, you would be a general-level figure now, right?"
As she said that, she sighed again, as if she felt unworthy of Gu Qingfeng being ruthlessly abandoned by Xu Xiao.
Hear this.
Gu Qingfeng finally understood Wu Ningyue's intention.
This girl obviously wants to win over her and let her work for King Zhenbei!
But I have to say that she is really good at winning people's hearts.
First, understand your true identity, use the things you feel resentful and unwilling to do as bait, sigh for yourself, and finally compare your situation in Beiliang and the Northern Territory, extend an olive branch, and do it all in one go!
Moreover, Wu Ningyue did not explicitly say that she wanted to win over him, but just let him know what a high status he could get by following the King of Zhenbei, which is commonly known as "drawing the pie!"
but.
Gu Qingfeng has extraordinary swordsmanship at such a young age, and with Li Chungang, the current top swordsman, as his backer, if he really goes to the north, becoming a general or something will not be a problem!
But he also knew that the King of Zhenbei was ruthless and would execute all the heroes around him as soon as he came to power.
The reason why he did this was simply because he was extremely suspicious and was afraid that these heroes would take away his position!
But even so, his subordinates still dare not disobey his orders!
It can be seen that the intimidating power of this Zhenbei King is absolutely terrifying!
Gu Qingfeng didn't want to be someone's tool and be executed without knowing why.
Moreover, going on an expedition to the battlefield and resisting foreign enemies had never been his ambition.
So he just chuckled and responded decisively.
"Although I feel a bit useless in Beiliang, being able to drink some wine and listen to music every day is enough to make me happy and lively."
Hearing that Gu Qingfeng refused his invitation without hesitation.
Wu Ningyue was not discouraged, the regret in her eyes became much more obvious, and she spoke softly.
"Since Mr. Gu doesn't want to go on an expedition to the battlefield, I won't say anything else."
"However, my father admires you very much. If you change your mind, the door to the north will be open to you at any time!"
After saying this, she turned and left.
But she seemed to remember something. After taking two steps, she paused again and said lightly.
"By the way, the Beiliang Prince's Palace is not peaceful these days. If Mr. Gu has nothing to do, it's better not to stay here!"
A sharp and domineering aura emanated from her body, making her suddenly seem like a different person!
Looking at Wu Ningyue's fading figure.
Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He knew that what the other party said was not peaceful, and he probably meant that King Zhenbei was about to enter Beiliang.
The purpose of King Zhenbei's trip was to disgrace Xu Xiao and shock the entire Beiliang!
It's just that he doesn't know what means he will use to turn Beiliang upside down.
at this time.
Nangong Pushe said with a faint smile.
"We have all chased you to Beiliang Prince's Mansion. It seems you are quite popular!"
She could also see that King Zhenbei really wanted to win over Gu Qingfeng.
After all, judging from the talent he has shown so far, he will definitely do great things in the future.
If you can recruit him under your command, it will be like adding more wings to a tiger!
When Gu Qingfeng heard this, he smiled and said nothing.
After a long while, he said slowly.
"We haven't finished the contest just now, why don't we continue?"
Nangong Pushe waved his hand and responded.
"No need. Now that I have calmed down, I can continue practicing my sword."
"Speaking of which, it depends more on your mental skills."
With that said, she put the Xiudong Knife back into its scabbard and walked towards Tingchao Pavilion.
Gu Qingfeng didn't care about this and walked in.
However, what he didn't know was.
Wu Ningyue did not leave Beiliang Prince's Mansion first, but watched him in the dark.
After observing for a moment, she suddenly exuded a faint murderous intention, and her eyes gradually became cold, as if she had made some decision!
……
at the same time.
Beiliang City, the city gate.
The guards were carefully guarding the city gate when they suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves!
I saw densely packed troops pouring into the city gate, and dust kept rising, covering the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Although they were still a long way away from the city gate, they could still clearly feel an extremely majestic oppressive force!
Seeing the army rushing towards them, all the guards looked at them with fear, and their hearts instantly became tense.
"Quick, go and report to Dazhu Kingdom that the enemy is attacking!"
The leading general immediately ordered.
At the same time, he also asked the soldiers below to close the city gate to prevent the enemy from entering the city.
Hear this.
The soldiers below did not dare to slack off at all, and quickly mounted their horses and ran towards the Beiliang Prince's Mansion.
However.
When the soldier ran halfway, he happened to meet Xu Xiao!
I saw a group of soldiers behind him, holding weapons and their eyes full of seriousness.
See this scene.
The soldier immediately reined in his horse and said nervously.
"D...Dazhu Kingdom, something is wrong! There seems to be a foreign enemy attacking outside the city gate!"
Beiliang is very close to Beimang, and Beimang has long been eyeing the Liyang Dynasty and wanted to annex it.
Therefore, he thought that what was coming from outside was Beimang's army!
However.
Xu Xiao's face was calm, and his heart was untroubled. He waved his hand and said.
"That's not Beimang's army, it's King Zhenbei's!"
He had known long ago that King Zhenbei was about to arrive in Beiliang.
But what he didn't expect was.
The King of Zhenbei arrived so quickly without any notice.
This is obviously to embarrass him!
Hearing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment and asked at a loss.
"Then we...should we open the city gate?"
Xu Xiao's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Since he wants to enter Beiliang, let him enter!"
A domineering spirit emanated from his body, which immediately shocked everyone!
Perhaps it was because Xu Xiao had not been on the battlefield for many years.
So much so that these soldiers have forgotten that he was once a general who killed countless enemies!
At this time, they felt the pressure radiating from his body, which made them feel like they saw the man who defeated the enemy on the battlefield and slaughtered the enemy generals!
There was no hesitation.
The soldier once again pulled the horse and rushed back to the city gate.
"Dazhu State has issued an order to open the city gates to welcome King Zhenbei!"
With a command, the city gate opens!
In an instant, King Zhenbei's army arrived at the city gate one after another, but they did not enter the city immediately. Instead, they all looked behind them, waiting for King Zhenbei's arrival!
At this time, a terrifying pressure suddenly hit his face.
The Beiliang soldiers guarding the city gate felt this pressure and felt extremely depressed, as if a pair of giant hands were holding their hearts!
Immediately afterwards, the army gave way one after another!
I saw a middle-aged man wearing silver armor, with a deep scar on his face, extremely fierce eyes, and a long knife on his waist, riding a war horse and slowly walked in.
The infinite and terrifying coercion spread wantonly, shocking everyone!
Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and they couldn't help but feel frightened!
no doubt!
This person is surprisingly one of the seven vassal kings of the Liyang Dynasty, the king of the north, Wu Taiyuan, the king of Zhenbei!
Behind him, Wu Ningyue and an unusually handsome man wearing luxurious robes followed.
Wu Taiyuan glanced at the Beiliang city gate, then ignored the Beiliang soldiers and gave a soft drink.
"Entering the city!!!"
In an instant.
Countless soldiers rode toward the city gate on war horses, their momentum was menacing and terrifying!
When the people in the city saw King Zhenbei's army entering the city, they were stunned and dumbfounded!
Who the hell are they here to visit? They are clearly like a group of robbers!
But feeling Wu Taiyuan's terrifying aura, they could only lower their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
After all, they also know that the King of Zhenbei is now the most powerful king of Beiliang, and with the support of the Liyang royal family, he will soon be on an equal footing with Xu Xiao, or even far surpass him!
And at this time.
Xu Xiao watched the soldiers entering the city, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.
In fact, he stopped King Zhenbei and others outside the city.
But it is a pity that this time Wu Taiyuan came with a handwriting from the Liyang royal family!
If we attack them now, they will have reason to start a war!
Although the 300,000 Northern Liang cavalry under his command are not afraid of life and death and are willing to fight with them, he does not want to sacrifice his soldiers in vain and fight this meaningless battle!
After the army completely entered Beiliang City.
Wu Taiyuan then walked to Xu Xiao with Wu Ningyue and another man.
He stroked his thick black beard and said with a proud smile on his lips.
"Dazhuguo, I haven't seen you for a while."
"It is really disturbing to let the army enter the city without any notice this time. Please forgive me for Dazhu Kingdom!"
Although his tone seemed a bit polite, it was not difficult to hear that his words were full of ridicule for Xu Xiao!
Hear this.
Xu Xiao just sneered and responded indifferently.
"You are holding the royal decree. There seems to be no difference between informing or not informing?"
Wu Taiyuan knew that Xu Xiao was saying that he dared to enter the city only because of the power of the Liyang royal family, and laughed loudly.
"Handwriting?"
"Dazhu Kingdom looks down on me too much. Even without the imperial decree, I can still step into Beiliang City!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was shocked!
They didn't expect that the King of Zhenbei would be so arrogant and give Xu Xiao a slap in the face as soon as they met!
It seems that there is no need to break up now.
Wu Taiyuan smiled contemptuously, waved his hand behind him and said.
"Yue'er, Ping'er, why don't you pay your respects to Dazhuguo soon?"
Hear this.
Wu Ningyue immediately dismounted and bowed slightly.
"Ningyue has seen Dazhu Kingdom."
However, the luxurious man on the side did not bow. Instead, he looked proud and sneered.
"Dazhu Kingdom is worthy of being the hero who defeated all the heroes in the world back then!"
"Looking at how well-dressed you are now, and even the crutch in your hand looks rich and powerful, I think I can't walk as fast as you!"
The person speaking was none other than Wu Taiyuan’s second son. His strength was extraordinary and he had already reached the Vajra realm!
His character is just as arrogant and domineering as King Zhenbei!
In his opinion.
His father's status as king has risen sharply, and he has won the favor of the Liyang royal family. He will surely replace the King of Northern Liang in the near future!
Therefore, he also thought that he did not need to give Xu Xiao any face at all, and immediately started mocking him!
Hear this.
Xu Xiao's face condensed, and his eyes gradually revealed a hint of chill!
His left foot was injured during the battle that year, resulting in a slight lameness.
In order to stand tall in front of King Zhenbei and not fall behind, I brought a cane with me today.
Unexpectedly, Wu Kangping made him the butt of a joke!
For a moment, strong anger could not help but surge into my heart!
Just when Wu Kangping was still ecstatic about what he said, laughing loudly!
Xu Xiao suddenly made a move, which immediately made everyone present stunned and shocked! ! !
