Outside Hanyang Pass, a group of people slowly walked into the camp of the ancient barbarian army.

I saw that this team of soldiers were wearing golden armor, with curved swords on their waists, and the war horses they rode were also strong and agile, and each of them was extraordinary and heroic.

In the center of the team, a young man wearing golden dragon armor was walking slowly with the team.

When the barbarian soldiers stationed there saw this group of people, their eyes were all filled with fervor, respect and desire.

The Jin Man Soldiers are a force specifically responsible for protecting the royal family of the Ancient Barbarian Dynasty. They are carefully selected from various major armies. Each of them is capable of fighting one against a thousand. They have made outstanding contributions in protecting the safety of the royal family.

Legend has it that when the current Barbarian King was young, due to the unstable domestic political situation, the Xiayang Dynasty took the opportunity to declare war on the ancient barbarians. Later, under the gradual inducement, he was ambushed by Xiayang, and it was a situation where there was no chance of survival.

The army around the Barbarian King was gradually devoured in the ambush. Just when Xia Yang was about to complete the achievement of beheading the king, the golden barbarian soldiers who were guarding him suddenly burst out with fearlessness of death. Each of them exchanged their lives for injuries, and even when the whole army was wiped out, they managed to protect the Barbarian King and escape.

Only after this battle did the information about the Jin Barbarians begin to spread in the temples of major dynasties, and everyone knew that the ancient barbarians had such a royal guard.

Wanyan Kang was the sixth prince of the ancient barbarian dynasty and the least favored of many princes. When a prince traveled, he didn't even have a maid to serve him personally. In such a harsh environment, he didn't even have a carriage to ride in. It can be seen how embarrassing the status of this prince was.

When Yelu Xiong reported the results of the battle to the Barbarian King, he was furious and cursed Yelu Xiong as a waste in front of all the civil and military officials.

But as the weather gradually got colder, the nomadic dynasty of Guman began to show its drawbacks, that is, there was not enough food reserves. This was also the reason why Guman declared war on Xiayang every winter.

If they lose the war, Gu Man will ask Xia Yang to exchange food and fodder for the occupied territory.

Because both sides knew that Gu Man's war was just to increase his bargaining chips so that he could demand more benefits from Xia Yang; and Xia Yang would generally agree to this in order to ensure the integrity of its territory because it had lost land.

You have to know that starting a war will result in casualties, and years of fighting have already made ordinary people miserable. Tang Tiansheng will naturally consider this and often agree to the demands of the ancient barbarian dynasty.

However, this war did not develop as the Barbarian King had expected. Looking at the battle reports showing repeated defeats, the Barbarian King could not help but feel worried.

In recent years, with the improvement of Xiayang's national strength, it has been difficult for them to gain an advantage in every battle, and the domestic grain reserves have been consumed every year, resulting in serious depletion of the national treasury, which is now on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, under the persuasion of many ministers, in order to boost the morale of the barbarian soldiers on the border, the prince was sent.

On the one hand, it shows the royal family's attention to this war and the praise and condolences to the soldiers who fought bravely against the enemy.

Secondly, the prince would lead the troops by himself, which would surely boost morale and help them capture Hanyang Pass in one fell swoop.

The cold weather had made Wanyan Kang's hands slightly stiff. He blew hot air into his hands and rubbed them to relieve the stiffness.

A group of horses walked out slowly under the leadership of a burly general. Yelu Xiong said to Wanyan Kang with a smile on his face: "Your Highness is welcome to come to the border in person. Please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar."

Wanyan Kang looked at the hypocritical expressions of the crowd but did not expose them. After all, he was living under someone else's roof now.

So he smiled and said, "General Yelu Xiong, there is no need to be so polite. Now that the emperor is furious about what happened here, you should think about how to win a victory."

"Yelü Xiong, we are now in the same boat. I hope we can get along well and deal with everything that happens next."

Yelu Xiong lowered his head with a look of horror in his eyes. It seemed that the rumors were not credible. Our Sixth Prince was not as useless as the rumors said. He might have been lying dormant on purpose.

For a moment, Yelu Xiong stood there in a daze, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It was not until Wanyan Kang started shouting over and over again that Yelu Xiong came back to his senses.

"Your Highness, it's cold outside. Let's go into the tent first and then make the details. We must formulate a perfect action this time."

As he said this, he ordered the generals behind him to stand on both sides and took Wanyan Kang into the central military tent.

On the other hand, Wu Ling's drunkenness and disturbance at the literary banquet caused the atmosphere of the entire banquet to become a little weird.

Because of his injury, Sun Anzheng left in the evening after being persuaded by everyone, leaving only the chief clerk Sun Qianyou to support the matter.

The meal lasted until the evening. Under the bright moon, many students began to leave in groups of three or two.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Chu Mo wrapped himself in his cloak out of habit.

At this time, Chen Gong had already left with the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. Shortly after Chen Gong left, Chu Mo discovered that Zhou Xuankai was missing.

But soon, Zhou Xuankai returned to the banquet with a gloomy face.

Chu Mo seemed to have expected it, and just looked at Zhou Xuankai opposite him with a bit of amusement.

As if he had noticed Chu Mo's gaze, Zhou Xuankai fixed his gloomy eyes on the smiling Chu Mo, and his face became even darker.

Chu Mo ignored him and picked up the warm wine beside him and drank it all.

Then he stood up and took Yao Guangxiao to say goodbye to the chief clerk Sun Qianyou and left.

Chu Qinghe and Zhou Xuanyuan were originally hired by Chu Mo to protect him, but Chu Mo did not encounter any trouble, so the two of them made a wasted trip.

When he walked out of Wenyan's door, he saw the butler from the daytime waiting for him with a group of thugs.

Chu Mo immediately understood clearly that this was directed at him.

So he taunted, "What's wrong? Are you trying to get back the face you lost? This is Wen Yan's entrance. Are you sure you want to do it here?"

The housekeeper was very angry, but still said with a ferocious look: "Boy, don't always use Wen Yan's name to talk about things. I, Wang Dahu, was not brought up to be scared."

"Brothers, beat him up and put an end to this boy's arrogance."

As he spoke, a group of people rushed up with whistles in their hands. Chu Mo looked calm and composed.

At this moment, Chu Qinghe and Zhou Xuanyuan took action. Neither of them used any weapons. One of them used a continuous palm technique while the other used a fierce punch technique. They were like dragons entering the sea. In just a few moments, the ground in front of the door was full of people lying.

Wang Dahu looked at Chu Qinghe and Zhou Xuanyuan who were getting closer and closer, and fell to his knees with a plop. Such a contrast made Chu Mo stunned where he was.

Seeing that Wang Dahu was no longer arrogant, Chu Mo did not make things difficult for him and let him leave.

Chu Qinghe and Zhou Xuanyuan returned to Chu Mo and said respectfully, "Sir, it is getting late today, so we will take our leave now."

Chu Mo did not try to keep them, but just watched Chu Qinghe and Zhou Xuanyuan leave.

On the lonely street, only Chu Mo and the other person stood there, feeling the cold wind.

Just as Chu Mo was about to leave, he was stopped again. Looking at the man dressed as a servant in front of him, Chu Mo did not say anything.

The servant directly pointed out the purpose of his visit and said, "But Lord Chu Mo, my young master Yuan Xingchu wants to invite you to have a chat. I wonder if you have time to meet him."

Chu Mo certainly knew Yuan Xingchu, who had stolen the limelight at the literary banquet this time.

As for how he knew me, it should be that I was deeply impressed by him when I entered the palace and waited at the Meridian Gate.
