Chapter 204 Dong Qibo
It’s okay if the deer rider doesn’t accelerate.
As they accelerated, the Leopard Cavalry in front whistled, and the mounts under them neighed long and hard. Their four hooves suddenly left behind a large afterimage, and gradually their hooves' movements could not be seen clearly with the naked eye.
"Swish!"
The speed of the Leopard Cavalry suddenly increased by about four times. The Deer Cavalry had just approached to a distance of several dozen feet, but in an instant they were left behind by the Leopard Cavalry by more than a hundred feet. Then they watched the distance between the two sides getting bigger and bigger.
The officers of the Deer Cavalry screamed in unison, subconsciously raised their right hands and clenched their fists tightly.
The deer cavalry scouts slowly slowed down the speed of pursuit, then turned in a huge arc and returned to the main army behind.
There is something strange about the Leopard Cavalry.
This speed is impossible for the Leopard Cavalry to have.
The details of the major legions under the jurisdiction of Dayin Five Military Headquarters have long been clearly known to the princes from all directions over the years.
It is impossible for the Leopard Cavalry to have such a speed - especially since the soldiers on the Leopard Cavalry were equipped with heavy weapons such as iron armor, heavy halberds, and heavy crossbows. With the physique and strength of the Leopard Cavalry, it is impossible for them to bear such a weight and run so fast.
There are weird things, big weird things.
The deer cavalry scouts returned one after another, and the news was delivered to Dong Qi Bo layer by layer.
In the center of the huge army, Dong Qi Bo was chatting and laughing with an old man in green. What they were talking about was the two outer sect deacons of the Heart Sword Sect who had gone out to travel on their own a few days ago because they got in a good mood and took a few swordsmen from the Hao Sword Palace with them.
The two elders from the Heart Sword Sect who were close to reaching the perfection of the Fiery Fire Realm were the strongest beings that could be sent out by the major sects in today's world.
Fiery Realm...
Not to mention the Fiery Realm, even the peak of the Furnace Realm is considered a top master in today's Dayin secular world.
"Don't worry, senior. Those two seniors are definitely safe. Maybe they are just in a good mood and are having a drink in a country wine shop."
Dongqibo Qi Li smiled brightly.
He is in a good mood.
Although a son died.
But as for his son Qi Lu, if it weren't for the news of his death, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a son.
He even forgot which concubine or maid was the mother of his son Qi Lu, whom he sent to Haojing as a hostage.
Originally, Qi Lu was dead, so let him be dead.
The Queen Mother used him as bait or something, doesn't this mean she appreciates him?
Originally, Qi Li was going to write a letter to the imperial court, asking for a reward in the name of Qi Li - his ancestral title was only a "boss", which was far from worthy of the current strength and status of Dongqi Bo in Eastern Shenzhou.
In the past few years, Qi Li was prepared to spend a huge sum of money to buy a title of "Duke" from the emperor.
But the emperor is too evil-hearted.
He sold titles to wealthy businessmen at an acceptable price.
However, if these princes who originally had ancestral titles wanted to mention their ancestral titles to the emperor, Yinyuan would bring out the excuse of "ancestral family rules" and increase the price by about a hundred times!
A hundred times the price...even Qi Li felt a little heartbroken.
Now that Qi Lu was dead, and he died because of some of the Queen Mother's actions, Qi Li was very excited, and was ready to use his son's death to ask the Queen Mother for an imperial decree to raise his own title, and to get all the ceremonial weapons such as the staff, axe, umbrella, and large banner!
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to submit a petition to the court, Haojian Palace came knocking on his door.
Hao Jian Palace took the initiative to offer to help him get justice!
Just the Haojian Palace, even if the Zhuge family, one of the six sacred families of culture and education, was behind the Haojian Palace, Qi Li had never thought of hooking up with them.
No matter how many disciples Hao Jian Palace has, or how great its potential power is, it is just a folk "academic organization".
This is different from marching and fighting.
But when the Xinjian Sect behind the Haojian Palace sent a few outer sect deacons to show off in front of him how they used a ten-mile flying sword to cut off a bull's head, Qi Li knelt down in front of them without saying a word.
The most the Queen Mother could give him was the title of 'Duke'.
But if this plan succeeds, Dong Qi Bo plans on getting the title of "king".
As for being "crowned a king", according to the feudal rules of Dayin and previous dynasties, it means being an independent small country. Although it still has to respect Dayin as the suzerain state, the rules such as hostages and tribute are very different from now.
Perhaps, the entire East Shenzhou could become the Qi family's territory?
In Qi Li's opinion, the worries of the old man in green, the outer sect elder of the Heart Sword Sect, were completely unnecessary.
You are like gods, who in the secular world can hurt you?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
Qi Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, Elder. Everything will be fine. Well, the city of Wuzhou is ahead. It is a land of fish and rice. Dayin is the best place for fresh fish. Especially the big river white striped fish. If you steam it and add some soy sauce, it will be extremely delicious."
"A few days ago, Wuzhou surrendered to me. Today, we are in Wuzhou City, enjoying the river view and tasting fresh fish. There is no greater happiness in the world than this."
Qi Li smiled happily.
The old man in blue next to him also nodded slightly, with his appetite rising.
Military intelligence was sent to him at this time. Qi Li's eyes widened when he heard the intelligence from his generals: "Scouts from the Eastern Expedition Army appeared around Wuzhou City? How is Wuzhou City?"
Qi Li's face turned red and felt hot.
I just said that I would invite the top leaders of the Heart Sword Sect to enjoy the scenery and eat fish in Wuzhou City. But what happened is that Wuzhou City was probably taken back by the imperial court again. This is so embarrassing!
Qi Li cursed the incompetent Zhuge Suiming in his heart, then pointed at the general who delivered the message and cursed him gloomily.
"Has Benber grown old and senile?"
"Can the Leopard Cavalry run faster than the Deer Cavalry that has activated its secret technique?"
"What nonsense! It's totally absurd. Who was the leader of that scout team just now? Take him down and chop him up!"
Qi Li was so angry that his nose was crooked.
Are you kidding?
Once the Deer Cavalry activates its secret technique, its speed will triple. Can the Leopard Cavalry surpass the speed of the Deer Cavalry?
Qi Li concluded that the leader of the scout team must have been afraid of fighting and deliberately made up an excuse. It would be better to kill this kind of trash as soon as possible, otherwise he would drag down his own army in the future.
The general who delivered the message coughed dryly and said, "The leader of the scout team is the seventy-third young master."
Qi Li was stunned.
The seventy-three princes, of course, are his seventy-three sons.
Unlike Qi Li's useless son who was thrown into Haojing, his seventy-third son was handsome and had a lot of Qi Li's style. He also had excellent qualifications and was listed as an 'elite' in Haojian Palace.
In particular, the mother of this son came from a clan that was one of the largest mineral merchants in Dongqi Bo's territory, and provided Dongqi Bo with huge amounts of money, food, and military equipment and weapons every year.
This is a precious son, and he is completely different from the unlucky child like Qi Lu.
"Old Seventy-Three, why doesn't he come to see me himself? Well, since he said so, tell all the troops to be careful."
Qi Li frowned: "It can be seen that there is something strange. Don't be fooled and let the imperial army take advantage."
The generals around him all agreed, but many of them believed that the Seventy-third Young Master was making up the story - they had been fighting with Dongqi Bo's neighbors for many years and were all masters who were proficient in battle formations.
How could they not know the situation of the Leopard Cavalry of the Five Military Forces' Eastern Expedition Corps?
It is impossible for the Leopard Cavalry to be so fast!
Here, Qi Li had just given orders when a few riders on fast horses in front of them rushed over in a slightly embarrassed manner against the main army, heading straight towards the center of the army.
"Uncle, uncle... in front, in front..."
A messenger looked pale and trembling as he looked at Qi Li, not daring to speak.
"What's ahead? Any monsters or demons? Look at you..." Qi Li raised the horsewhip and whipped the pale-faced messenger.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Qi Li rode his horse and stood in front of the row of wooden signs on the road.
Qi Li's face turned dark, he held the whip tightly, and stared at the 'wonderful greetings' on the sign, each word was so fierce that it stabbed his heart and lungs.
It is the epitome of the collective wisdom of 400,000 troops, thousands of ruffians and street shrews.
One can imagine what is written on these hundreds of wooden signs.
Qi Li's face was dark and his eyes were red.
Suddenly he broke the horsewhip in his hand and threw it heavily to the ground: "Good calligraphy, good calligraphy, I have seen this calligraphy before... Haha, Tianyang Gong Lu Yi created the golden stele style, good calligraphy, brilliant and majestic, majestic and solemn, tsk, even I, who don't read books, feel... relaxed and happy when I see it!"
Qi Li smiled and looked at the generals around him who were afraid to look at him, and laughed: "Duke Tianyang is so talented, I just lack a eunuch leader who is good at writing!"
"Look at what's written here. Lord Tianyang is in Wuzhou City, waiting for you!"
Qi Li smiled and said, "Come on, circle Wuzhou City. I want to get close to Lord Tianyang. Maybe we'll hit it off right away, and he'll kill himself and become my eunuch leader."
All the generals under Dongqi Bo's command understood.
Qi Li wants to castrate Lu Yi and make him his eunuch!
Tsk tsk!
Long trumpet sounds were heard, and large banners and military flags were spinning left and right. On the road, Dong Qibo's main force of troops meandered away from the main road and surrounded Wuzhou City like a flood.
An hour later, Wuzhou City was surrounded on all sides. The murderous sound of war drums was like thunder, which frightened the people in Wuzhou City so much that they trembled in fear and closed their doors, not daring to go out.
Lu Yi landed back on the top of the sentry tower and waved his hand: "They are besieging the city. And they are not just besieging three sides and leaving one side vulnerable. They are going to catch us all in one fell swoop."
"Prepare yourselves for battle. Let us see the quality of the army under Lord Dongqi's command."
Lu Yi smiled, jumped down from the watchtower, walked along the city wall to the east gate tower, lay on the parapet, and looked outside the city.
Dong Qibo's central military camp was set up ten miles outside the east city gate.
When Lu Yi was looking outside the city, Dong Qi Bo was also riding a deer king that was nearly ten feet tall and looking towards the city gate tower.
The two of them immediately made eye contact across the distance of ten miles.
For some unknown reason, Dong Qi Bo gave a light shout, and the Deer King under his seat immediately trotted towards the East City Gate.
