Chapter 291 There is an Ancient Road
Bi Ye went on to say: "However, the Snow Country is pursuing it, the Red Sand Country wants to steal it, and in the future the Blue Abyss Country will inevitably intervene, and the struggle will never end..." After saying that, he sighed deeply.
He paused for a long time before saying, "Sometimes I think, if there were no 'miracles', those people wouldn't have the idea of stealing, there wouldn't be endless fighting between the four nations, and maybe there would be real stability and peace in the world... Unfortunately, these are just wishful thinking. It is so difficult to achieve real stability and peace!" His tone was quite bleak and helpless.
Xiao Zhenrong and others didn't quite understand what was said and were somewhat bewildered. However, Zhou Bo and Chu Xiaomu could understand it and were so shocked that they dared not breathe.
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, it turns out that I have the same idea as the general. No matter how good or beautiful something is in the world, if it brings disaster and war to the world, it is not so good or beautiful anymore.
Bi Ye suddenly became full of heroic spirit, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said: "The heaven and earth gave us a seven-foot body and a heart full of blood, and it must be for us to kill evil and do something. The Claw Clan of the Red Sand Country invaded our border and killed our soldiers and civilians. If we can't make them pay for their blood debt with blood, how can Bi Ye have the face to stand between heaven and earth? Even if all four of his clans come together, what is there to fear?!"
Everyone's blood boiled after hearing this, and they shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the general, kill the enemies and protect the city, even if it means death!" Zhang Hou and Wu Sheng shouted especially loudly.
Bi Ye turned around and looked at everyone, and said: "Most of you are not from Bicheng, but you are all my soldiers. You have shed blood and worked hard for Bicheng. Bi Ye would like to thank you in advance." After saying that, he bowed to the ground.
Everyone was terrified and hurriedly bowed and kowtowed, saying, "General, you are so embarrassed!"
Bi Ye continued, "Some of you have ancestors who have fought with me through thick and thin, and some of you have fathers and grandfathers who were my capable assistants. They were all loyal and courageous. It's a pity that they all died of old age, leaving Bi Ye all alone in the world. As a spiritual king, I can say that my job is extremely boring. However, there are still many villains in the world who always want to stir up trouble. Bi Ye has a great responsibility and cannot follow them. I can only erect this monument of loyalty and righteousness here to commemorate them."
Xiao Zhenrong said: "General, my father said before he died that the most correct and happiest thing he did in his life was to follow you, a great hero. I will follow my father's will and follow you until death!"
Bi Ye said: "I once said that Bi Ye is just a country bumpkin. 'General' is just a temporary title, not to mention the title of great hero. How can I be considered a great hero if I can't even keep the people who want to stay?" As he spoke, his expression became somewhat painful.
Chu Xiaomu looked at Bi Ye's tall back and broad shoulders, standing on the top of the mountain and looking towards the west. He was moved: "The general must be thinking of Sister Hua. The two of them were separated because they were both spirits. One was in the desolate Bi Yuan and the other was in the distant Baihua Island in the West Sea. They haven't seen each other for more than two hundred years. They must feel very uncomfortable. He said that it was because the two spirits together would cause the spiritual energy to be disordered, and eventually lead to chaos in the world. I don't know if it's true or not. Is there no way to let the two be together without disordering the spiritual energy?"
Chu Xiaomu also thought of Xiaoying, who was sometimes willful and sometimes well-behaved: "Is she okay? Will it be boring to stay at Baihuading every day? She and I made an appointment to meet next spring, but this is already the second spring... Will she be angry if she can't find me after she gets off Baihuading? According to her personality, she will definitely be angry, and maybe she will even hit me with a bamboo stick... But she is also easy to talk to. As long as I apologize to her properly and sincerely, she will not be angry after a while. But... we haven't seen each other for so long, maybe she has forgotten me..." My heart suddenly ached.
Chu Xiaomu was lost in thought and didn't hear what Bi Ye had just said. Bi Ye had changed the subject and he only heard him say, "The Beast Mountain stretches from Yashan near Yutuo City in the east to the coast of the West Sea in the west, stretching for nearly 5,000 miles. Although there are many monsters in it and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter, it is fortunate that there is such a large mountain, forming a natural barrier that separates our Bi City from Chisha Country. If there was a smooth road in the middle, I am afraid that the people of the seven cities of Cangmu Country would have already become the dead souls under their hard horses and iron claws."
Zhou Bo said: "General, can you deploy all 5,000 troops of my Nanding Army near Humu Pass? Zhou Bo is willing to sign a military order and defend Humu Pass to the death!"
Bi Ye said, "I don't have any better solution now. The people of Chisha are violent and cruel. They will never give up entering Bicheng because of the defeat of the Claw Clan assassins. It is only a matter of time before they attack Humu Pass again. I plan to draw another 5,000 troops from Beicheng Army, Xiyi Army, and Zhongjing Army, led by Yang Luo, to help you defend Humu Pass."
Xiao Zhenrong said happily: "That's the best. With General Yang here, we can fight against thousands of soldiers. Even if the Spirit King of Chisha comes, we can still fight!"
Bi Ye waved his hand and said, "Don't be too complacent when it comes to war. You must know that there are always people who are better than you. Among the three great spiritual kings of the Chisha Kingdom, it would be difficult for Xiao Luo to defeat Yan Claw alone." He paused and said, "In fact, what I am most worried about is another thing..."
Everyone hurriedly asked, "General, what's the matter?"
Bi Ye said word by word: "In addition to the Chuike Road that passes through Humu Pass, there is actually another dangerous road from Chisha Country to my Bicheng territory through the Beast Mountain, which is called the 'Black Miasma Ancient Road'."
Everyone looked at each other in shock, all with an expression of disbelief, thinking that our Nanding Army had been guarding the Humu Pass for decades, and had never heard of another road from Chisha Country to Bicheng. Even Zhou Bo's teacher, the former Nanding Army General Pang Jian, who was very familiar with the Beast Mountain, had never said that there was another road in the Beast Mountain that could lead to Bicheng, let alone the four words "Black Miasma Ancient Road". However, the general would definitely not be wrong, and would not scare everyone here, so what should we do?
Zhou Bu said: "Since we don't know this road, the people of Chisha will know it even less. Maybe there's no need to worry." He knew very well that things were far from that simple, and he said this just to comfort the general.
As expected, Bi Ye said, "The people of Chisha may not know, but there are a few people in Beast Mountain who know, and the King of Ten Thousand Beasts is one of them."
Xiao Zhenrong said, "I heard that the King of Ten Thousand Beasts is the spirit of our Cangmu Country. Although their Beast Mountain has some grudges against our Bicheng, they have kept to themselves for so many years. They won't help Chisha Country and harm our Cangmu Country, right?"
