Novel Full Chapter 326: It Seems Among the Prince's Sons, There's Still One Worth Looking At
Twenty li from Wei Kingdom’s Tengwang Pass.
A man rode a snow-white horse, wearing silver-white armor, walking at the very front of these five thousand cavalry.
Behind the man, five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry were incredibly imposing. Moonlight falling on them made them look like silver war god heavenly soldiers but in the eyes of these battle-hardened warriors, there was some disdain and displeasure.
Especially the deputy general riding beside the man, he looked at this Second Young Master of the prince and couldn’t help gripping his reins tighter.
After deliberating for a long time, he spoke again, “General, what we should be doing is defending Moonlight City, watching the State of Wei’s reinforcement army. Now that we’re heading to Wei Kingdom’s heartland, is this somewhat inappropriate?”
“General Li worries too much.”
The Xiao Manor’s Second Young Master, Xiao Yishe, said with a smile.
“Now Wei Kingdom’s overall situation is settled, and my father has already led a hundred thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry to penetrate the State of Wei. The State of Wei can barely protect itself, so how could they come? In comparison, the final battle at Wei Kingdom’s imperial capital, the opponent will certainly fight to the death. We’re going to lend the Flame Prince a hand, thinking of the bigger picture!”
“…”
The deputy general named Li Jing’s brow twitched.
Xiao Yishe spoke nicely, saying something about thinking of the bigger picture.
Actually, how could Li Jing not know? Xiao Yishe just wanted to go seize a share of the Flame Prince’s merit for annihilating the nation. This made Li Jing extremely disdainful.
After all, their Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry had always fought tough battles. When had they ever needed to steal others’ merit and share a sip of someone else’s soup?
But Li Jing couldn’t say anything more.
The prince had him place all five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry under this Second Young Master’s command. He had to follow orders.
Originally, the prince’s intention was to have him garrison Moonlight City. This task was very simple—no mistakes meant merit. But this Second Young Master loved glory and achievement. How embarrassing!
However, Li Jing felt somewhat emotional in his heart.
Thinking of how brave and wise the prince and the previous Northern Pacification Prince were, yet how had this generation of the Xiao Prince Manor become like this?
One could only say that no matter which family, they all had a certain destiny and just as Xiao Yishe led the five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry to arrive below Tengwang Pass, Li Jing raised his head. He saw a masked man holding a long spear standing straight before the city gate.
Behind the man, five hundred cavalry stood in formation, each soldier and even the horses completely motionless, like sculptures!
Xiao Yishe looked at the opposing military uniforms and banners, instantly recognizing this was Qin Huo’s unit, and these five hundred cavalry were even Qin Huo’s personal guard.
“I am the Northern Pacification Prince Manor’s Second Young Master, Xiao Yishe. This time I’m leading five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry to assist the prince!”
Xiao Yishe shouted at the man wearing the Asura mask.
Xiao Mo removed his mask.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Mo’s revealed handsome features made many of the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry slightly stunned, because his good looks formed a sharp contrast with his murderous aura. However, most people were mentally prepared.
Not to mention throughout the realm, now within Wei Kingdom’s borders, who didn’t know Qin Kingdom had a commander who “wore a mask like a god of death, removed it like a nobleman”?
Xiao Mo looked at Xiao Yishe and said coldly, “Wei Kingdom’s imperial capital doesn’t need your assistance. You should return to Moonlight City, keep watch on the State of Wei, and need not advance another step.”
Xiao Yishe’s brow furrowed, “What if I insist on advancing?”
Xiao Yishe’s voice echoed below the city. Xiao Mo didn’t answer. He only slowly put on his mask.
And the instant Xiao Mo’s mask covered his face, all five hundred cavalry raised their long spears, pointing directly at the opposition! Their movements were uniform, every spear tip maintained at the same horizontal line.
“Xiao Mo! You’re just a concubine-born son! How dare you block me?!”
Xiao Yishe said in great anger.
He naturally knew that the masked commander depicted in “Breaking Through Shuanghong Array” that had been sung during this time was his third brother, the concubine-born son he had never taken seriously.
Precisely because of this, Xiao Yishe was even more furious!
It was one thing that his eldest brother received more favor from Father, but why was a concubine-born son more famous than him? With greater merit than him?!
How could he face himself when he returned?
“This is a military order.”
Xiao Mo said coldly, without any personal emotion.
“I’ll say this one last time. Please return!”
Xiao Mo discovered that this so-called second brother of his didn’t seem very intelligent, even had a feeling of being spoiled.
“Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry, charge!” Xiao Yishe roared, losing composure but after he roared, the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry didn’t move at all, as if they hadn’t heard his command at all.
Li Jing sighed in his heart and stepped forward, “General, according to Qin Kingdom’s three armies’ military law, comrades must not kill each other. If there are grievances, commanders can resolve them themselves.”
“Good! I’ll kill this concubine-born son and clean up the family!” Xiao Yishe squeezed his legs, rode his war horse charging forward, his long blade chopping at Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo naturally engaged.
Although both sides were at the same realm, Xiao Yishe was completely no match for Xiao Mo.
Within twenty rounds, Xiao Mo swung his long spear and directly knocked the opponent off his war horse.
When Xiao Yishe tried to stand up, Xiao Mo’s iron boot was already on his chest, the long spear already pointed at his throat.
If Xiao Mo advanced just one more inch, blood would splash everywhere.
“Xiao Mo, if you dare, kill me!” Xiao Yishe roared in humiliated fury.
“You think I don’t dare?” Xiao Mo’s eyes beneath the mask looked at him coldly.
Xiao Yishe felt a chill throughout his body and dared not speak again because he felt that if he said one more word, Xiao Mo would really kill him.
“Get lost. If you dare approach Tengwang Pass one more step, I will kill you.”
Xiao Mo kicked out. Only the sound of several of Xiao Yishe’s bones breaking could be heard. Then he was sent like a cannonball crashing into the Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry’s formation but not a single warrior looked down at Xiao Yishe.
Finally, it was Li Jing who waved his hand, having subordinates carry the unconscious Xiao Yishe and place him on horseback.
Li Jing looked at Xiao Mo and the five hundred cavalry not far away, asking, “If I forcibly pass through Tengwang Pass, does General Xiao think these five hundred cavalry can stop my five thousand?”
Xiao Mo smiled, “If General Li personally leads the formation, hard to say. But if it’s this useless Xiao Yishe, five men would be too many.”
“Hahaha!”
Li Jing laughed heartily, then waved his hand.
“Withdraw troops, return to Moonlight City!”
“Yes!”
The five thousand Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry shouted in unison, turned and returned, orders followed and prohibitions enforced, without any superfluous movements.
“No wonder everyone covets these Snow-Treading Dragon Cavalry. It’s not without reason.”
Xiao Mo reined in his horse and led his troops back.
Li Jing glanced at Xiao Yishe unconscious on horseback, then looked back at Xiao Mo’s upright figure, the corners of his mouth slightly curving up.
It seems among the prince’s sons, there’s still one worth looking at.
