Chapter 413

Chu Wuming's departure did not ease the tense situation in the imperial capital. Everyone knew this, because once Chu Wuming left, the once three-legged rivalry became a two-legged rivalry.

Seeing that there is only one step away from the crown prince, both Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang will work harder, because as long as they can wipe out the other party, the crown prince will be theirs.

The competition for the crown prince became more and more intense with Chu Wuming's departure. At the same time, Lord Fen Tian did not leave the imperial capital with Xiao Chen this time.

First of all, Lord Fen Tian is now also a Supreme Emperor of the Moonless Empire, he can be said to be the patron saint of the empire, if he leaves with Xiao Chen, it will inevitably make Chu Mu suspicious, which will not be of any benefit to what Xiao Chen is going to do next Secondly, even though Chu Wuming left the imperial capital, he will return sooner or later in the future, and ruler Fen Tian staying in the imperial capital can also serve as a deterrent.

He didn't care what the emperor would be like after he and others left. Through the teleportation array, Xiao Chen and others quickly arrived at Hulao Pass.

As the border of the Moonless Empire, Hulao Pass is extremely far away from the imperial capital. If there is no teleportation array, it will take at least five days to rush from the imperial capital to Hulao Pass, and this is still at the speed of a super strong Taoist state. calculated.

However, it appeared in Hulao Pass in an instant. This Hulao Pass is actually a valley surrounded by mountains on both sides, but the valley is so large that you can't see the sides at first glance, it looks like a desert. A barren plain.

And this plain is also the only way for the Moonless Empire and the Sirius Empire to communicate. After all, there are towering mountains on both sides of Hulao Pass, not to mention whether people can pass through, even if they can, but these two mountains There are many monsters and beasts living in it, and human beings enter it, and they are close to death.

It is precisely because of the natural geographical location of Hulao Pass that it has become a battleground for military strategists. Whether it is the Moonless Empire or the Sirius Empire, they all want to control the entire Hulao Pass in their own hands, because once they control Hulaoguan is equivalent to mastering the absolute initiative, and the other party becomes the fish on the pillow, eating whenever he wants.

Well aware of the importance of Hulao Pass, both the two empires have heavy defenses here. At both ends of the huge valley, the Moonless Empire and the Sirius Empire have millions of troops stationed here. Guan naturally became the battlefield where the armies of the two countries fought.

At the entrance of Hulao Pass belonging to the Moonless Empire, a total of four cities were built here, and these four cities were in the direction of the Moonless Empire at Hulao Pass.

The four border cities formed a corner, firmly guarding Hulao Pass. At this time, Xiao Chen and the others arrived at one of the four border cities through the teleportation array, named Zhenshan City, and the army that controlled this city was infinite. The famous Zhenshan Army of the Moon Empire.

The news of Chu Wuming's arrival had been received in advance, and when everyone stepped out of the teleportation formation, the generals of the Zhenshan Army were already waiting here.

Seeing Chu Wuming approaching, a middle-aged general with a tall, strong figure and rough appearance strode forward, followed by seven or eight generals who were also generals of the Zhenshan Army.

"The last general, Zhao Feng, pays his respects to His Highness the Third Prince."

This Zhao Feng is the general of the Zhenshan Army, responsible for managing the Zhenshan Army. Seeing the rough-looking, tall and strong Zhao Feng, Xiao Chen nodded inwardly. This person is indeed a mighty general, and his cultivation is already high Having reached the Dao Zunjing Xiaocheng, it is no wonder that the royal family let him guard the Hulao Pass and take sole control of the mountain army.

For the four armies around Hulao Pass, the military power is naturally in the hands of the royal family. Regardless of the great power of the four princes and eight princes in the imperial capital, they do not have military power in their hands.

The royal family is not a fool, how could it be possible for these powerful ministers to hold military power? Therefore, almost all the armies of the Moonless Empire are in the hands of the royal family. Without orders from the royal family, even the four princes would have difficulty mobilizing a single soldier. , except of course their own private soldiers, but how many private soldiers can there be.

Under normal circumstances, when there is no major war, Zhao Feng will be in charge of this mountain city. Once a major war breaks out, the royal family will send people from the imperial capital to sit in the town. At that time, the four princes and eight princes will be able to command the mountain army to fight. Of course, The command power and military power are two concepts. After the war, the four princes and the eight princes will exchange the military talismans to the royal family.

Facing Zhao Feng's salute, Chu Wuming nodded slightly and said, "General Zhao has worked hard."

He had a few words of politeness with Zhao Feng. As for Xiao Chen and others, Zhao Feng didn't pay much attention to it, so Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't care about it.

A residence had been prepared for Chu Wuming in advance. At the same time, Xiao Chen and the others naturally lived with Chu Wuming. After all, to the outside world, Xiao Chen and the others were all guards responsible for protecting Chu Wuming.

That night, Zhao Feng held a grand banquet. On top of the banquet, all the senior generals of the Zhenshan Army were present. The third prince, Chu Wuming, sat in the main seat. As for Xiao Chen and Zhao Feng, they sat on the left, right and lower seats respectively.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, but in this lively atmosphere, Xiao Chen keenly felt that although Zhao Feng and others were polite to Chu Wuming, they did not show much respect.

Thinking about it, Chu Mu did not give Chu Wuming the command of any of the troops when he went to Hulao Pass this time. To Zhao Feng and others, Chu Mu only said that Chu Wuming came to Hulao Pass to practice, and the Zhenshan Army did not need to obey. Chu Wuming's command.

Chu Mu didn't delegate power, and Chu Wuming didn't have the full strength to command the Zhenshan Army. As a result, Zhao Feng naturally didn't have to obey Chu Wuming's orders.

A banquet ended quickly in a cheerful atmosphere, and it wasn't until late at night that Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming returned to their residence together.

For the next few days, Xiao Chen didn't do anything special. When he first arrived at Hulao Pass, he had to figure out the situation here first.

Every day, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming just had nothing to do, drinking and hanging out all day long, but secretly, Zhang Qi and the others had already started to act.

Five full days passed, and on this day, Zhang Qi and the others returned one after another, and also told Xiao Chen the general situation of Hulao Pass truthfully. After hearing the report from Zhang Qi and the others, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth, Then he opened his mouth and said to Zhang Qi.

"Go and invite His Highness here, just say that I have something to discuss."

Asking Chu Wuming to come to him is obviously not the action of a courtier, but the relationship between Xiao Chen and Chu Wuming is indeed not a monarch and minister, and Chu Wuming also knows that Xiao Chenzhi is not in the Moonless Empire, and it is impossible to be in the Moonless Empire. What kind of position does the Wuyue Empire seek? Therefore, facing Xiao Chen, Chu Wuming never felt that he was a king, and Xiao Chen was a minister. Therefore, after hearing Zhang Qi's message, Chu Wuming didn't care at all, and came here on his own initiative. Xiao Chen's study.
