I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

But now, Qinglong Village has also been destroyed, and the escort this time is the Purple Armor Guards of Prince Yongle! That is a terrifying army!

At that time, the former emperor was still the Prince of Chen. Because his mother's family was convicted of a crime, he was disliked by Emperor Wenzong and was sent to guard Chiling Pass, which was tantamount to exile.

At that time, the Yi State was powerful and almost invincible, but the soldiers guarding Chiling Pass were all old, weak and disabled.

During a general attack, the army at Chiling Pass was almost wiped out, and Prince Chen was also seriously injured. The Yi army took the opportunity to break into the pass.

It was the 17-year-old Prince Yongle who led 5,000 purple-armored guards to fight against the 200,000-strong Yi army, and drove the bandits who had just broken through the pass and had not yet gained a foothold out of the pass. Since then, Chiling Pass has become a high wall that the Yi army and Beiqi have been unable to cross for 30 years.

Chiling Pass is located in the northwest and has vast desert.

If you open your mouth a little, you'll get a mouthful of sand.

There are strong winds and sandstorms but little rain. In summer, the sun is so strong that it can burn people to death. In winter, there is heavy snow and wind, and water freezes into ice.

When the soldiers were about to starve to death, the Beiqi tribe suddenly joined forces with the Yi army for some unknown reason and tried to break through the pass.

General Gu led his soldiers to hold out and endure hunger.

The express mail of 800 miles sent to the court should have arrived long ago, but the court was slow to send troops to help.

The common people could not bear to see the soldiers fighting on an empty stomach, so they would rather not eat themselves and save their rations so that the soldiers could have a bite of dry food. What breaking through the pass meant was not only known to the soldiers, but also to the common people of Chiling Pass.

Fortunately, Doctor Yan was not only a doctor, he was also the founder of Xiaoyao Sect, which was known as the number one sect in the martial arts world. After learning about the situation at Chiling Pass, he immediately sent a pigeon to Xiaoyao Sect to deliver a letter. The letter said that ten older disciples and younger disciples would stay at the mountain gate, and the rest would go out to purchase food and fodder along the way and send them to Chiling Pass.

The Xiaoyao Sect is located to the east of Chiling Pass. There are many wealthy cities along the way, so it is not difficult to collect food and fodder.

There are tens of thousands of disciples of all ages in Xiaoyao Sect.

Doctor Yan had seventeen disciples. The youngest of them was named Xulin by Doctor Yan, which means warmth, steadfastness, and self-improvement.

He was gifted and stood out among the disciples at the age of seventeen. He was top-notch in kung fu and knowledge, and was deeply loved by Doctor Yan.

When he learned of the danger at Chiling Pass, he proposed that all the brothers and sisters split up into several groups, with one group going first to support the front line while the other groups would go around the prefectures to buy food and fodder and quickly deliver them to Chiling Pass.

This proposal was very good and was agreed by all the disciples.

He and his disciples took a shortcut to the front line to provide support, and took with them all the food and fodder they could collect along the way.

After five days of traveling day and night, Xulin finally arrived at Chiling Pass with three thousand disciples of Xiaoyao Sect and some food and fodder.

In order not to delay the journey, no carts were used and two bags of food were tied to each person's horse.

This was also possible thanks to the help of the Chenliu Xie family, a horse-breeding family along the way.

Otherwise, I don’t know where these more than 3,000 horses would come from.

"Master, I and some of my fellow disciples have arrived first. The other brothers and sisters are still collecting food and grass along the way, and will catch up slowly later." Xu Lin dismounted and saluted. Doctor Yan and Gu Qingrong, the eldest son of the Gu family, greeted them at the city gate.

Doctor Yan came to Chiling Pass to ask General Gu whether Mu Qingyan's mother had any past with his son who died young. However, when he arrived here, he encountered the invasion of the Yi Kingdom. The three sons of the Gu family went to the battlefield one after another, while General Gu stayed in the rear. The battle lasted for five days. After each battle, countless soldiers were killed or wounded. Doctor Yan then devoted himself to treating the wounded.

Not to mention talking to General Gu, it was rare for him to even see him. The reason why he could meet the eldest son of the Gu family today was because he had to go out of the city to welcome the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect.

The moment Gu Qingrong saw Xulin, he was frozen in place. Doctor Yan noticed his loss of composure, but he was busy with other things and it was not the time to chat, so he had to suppress his doubts.

After calling him several times, he came back to his senses, "This is my youngest disciple, ranked seventeenth, named Xulin."

He then turned to Xu Lin and said, "This is General Gu's eldest son, and he now holds the position of General Zhongwu."

Xu Lin clasped his fists and bowed, "Junior Xu Lin, greetings to General Gu."

The people behind him also followed suit and saluted.

Gu Qingrong suppressed his excitement and doubts, clasped his fists in return, and said loudly, "You are all loyal men. On behalf of the soldiers and people of Chiling Pass, I would like to thank you for taking the trouble to come to our aid! Please accept my greetings!"

The Gu family has been guarding Chiling Pass all year round. Due to years of wind and sand erosion, the skin on his face is very rough and dark, and his lips are cracked due to lack of water. They are covered with curled dead skin, and there are even dried blood stains on the cracks.

But the harsh environment and weather cannot erase the iron will.

Even if the yellow sand buries my loyal bones, I will still guard the gate for Da'an.

The disciples who came from Xiaoyao Sect from thousands of miles away were all very young, but most of them had been displaced and had no food or clothing when they were young. They knew very well what war meant to the people.

Before coming, they had imagined many scenarios, and they knew clearly that they might not be able to come back, but they still came without hesitation. At this moment, their hearts were beating violently, and their blood was boiling, making them want to pick up their guns and mount their horses immediately to fight the bandits!

Xu Lin, who was standing in front, hurriedly held his hand and said, "General Gu, we are all juniors, we can't do this... As citizens of Da'an, we are all of the same blood. How can we stand by and watch when our country is in trouble?"

Gu Qingrong looked at the familiar face, suppressed his excitement, and asked people to collect the food brought by the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect first, and then distribute it all together.

Three thousand men entered the military camp one after another and put on the armor distributed by Gu Qingrong.

Although these armors are worn out and some are even stained with blood, they are better than nothing.

The imperial court had not delivered military supplies for a long time, so they could only collect old armor, mend them, and use them as is.

After completing all the handovers and asking the military clerk to compile a separate list of the names of the Xiaoyao Sect disciples and settling them, Gu Qingrong could not wait to rush into the main tent.

"Father!"

In the main tent, besides General Gu, the other two brothers were also present.

They were concentrating on studying battle strategies in front of the sand table. When they heard the voice, they all looked up and saw an excited face.

The eldest son has always been steady and calm. What happened that made him so happy?

"Have all the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect settled in the military camp?" General Gu's voice was very vicissitudes, but full of strength. The wind and sand at Chiling Pass had caused his originally straight back to become slightly hunched.
