Chapter Three, The Yellow Stone Scriptures.
As the saying goes, "Good people are often taken advantage of, and good horses are often ridden by others."
The second elder, Lord Long, only Lord Long Er who followed the king to battle and returned injured. I want to go see him. It just so happens that I will ascend to the throne tomorrow, and it's also a good opportunity to inquire if the king has any instructions for me.
Yao Yun naturally understands this principle. It is the same in civilized times, not to mention this era of intertwining barbarism and civilization. Moreover, barbaric tribes are even more explicit and straightforward. Once they gain the upper hand, they will take advantage of the situation and climb up the pole.
As for Cangman, he is always ready to answer questions. I dare not hide it, but unfortunately, he also doesn't know. Although his martial arts have reached the level of his uncles, in the eyes of everyone, he and Yao Yun are still children. Such important matters have not been disclosed to him at all.
Later, Yao Yun discovered an ancient and simple stone tablet on the trembling dragon claw of Long Er Ye.
Mr. Long also speaks like a human, but his voice carries a strong sense of weakness, making him sound somewhat feeble.
Why is the king going to war and where is he going to fight? What battlefield is so dangerous that it requires the best soldiers of Xiguo...
The army of Xidu is still intact with thousands of soldiers, but they are not ordinary soldiers fighting in this world, instead, they are powerful cultivators.
Yao Yun: "What if one tribe joins forces with other tribes?"
Bald Dragon, Wu Tong, Cang Man Nature without any hesitation, immediately left the underground palace, leaving only one person and one dragon in the palace, appearing empty.
Standing aside, Wu Tong also spoke: "Your Highness, what Lord Long said is that you don't need to worry. Let those barbarians from the various tribes be arrogant for a while. We will surely regain our dignity in the future."
The Crown Prince, I, Cang Man, request to go to battle. As long as you provide me with one thousand soldiers, no, five hundred will suffice.
Wu Tong is one of the two great witch priests of the Xi Kingdom, known as the Second Elder, highly respected by the people of the Xi Kingdom. At this moment, he is looking kindly at Yao Yun.
The only dragon that had hope of becoming a thigh is now bald.
Grew taller by quite a bit, just not sturdy enough. Eat more, exercise more!
Heir, what are you doing, Lord Long...
After Yao Yun finished asking, the second elder, Wu Tong, smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, Wu does possess great power, but this old man is not skilled in combat. My duty is to perform rituals, offer blessings, divination, and healing..."
I guarantee with my chest thumping: "I have seen experts from barbarian tribes, and with the wise leadership of the prince, I am confident that I can lead the army of the barbarians to defeat any tribe!"
After Yao Yun finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something else and spoke up.
The way of speaking is still very unpleasant.
Yao Yun really wants to know about his cheap father, but unfortunately, Bald Dragon keeps silent, and Second Elder Wu Tong is even more slick. When asked, they both have a smile on their faces, stuttering and unable to provide any useful information for a long time.
Bald Dragon, very bad.
Big brother, second elder, I would like to have a conversation with the crown prince.
So Yao Yun didn't think much about it and directly asked if Xigu had the ability to attack these tribes.
Cang Man feels quite ashamed. The Bald Dragon and the Second Elder Witch exchanged a glance, "A small move can have a big impact," sounds reasonable, but does it sound like something an inexperienced young prince would say?
Yao Yun was taken aback, understood something, and immediately approached.
Thinking of the dragon's ability to be large and small, Yao Yun felt relieved. However, the shocking scars all over the dragon's body made Yao Yun unable to bear looking directly at it.
Another dragon was seriously injured and has been recuperating in the underground palace of the temple these days.
Yao Yun understood the situation, feeling quite unwilling in his heart, and then involuntarily looked towards a bald man.
The creature has antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow. Except for the lack of the towering and majestic appearance in memory, everything is just like a dragon in mythology.
Yao Yun was sizing up the dragon, and the dragon was looking back at him with full emotions.
Yao Yun saw everyone leaving, so he immediately wanted to speak up. However, Lord Long Er stretched out a dragon claw on his own.
In the past, if these people had suppressed them, the barbarian tribes would not have dared to have any other thoughts.
Bullying me, a time traveler?
Yao Yun's heart was constantly wailing, and it was inevitable to be stung by the pain of integrating into this world. What made him most uncomfortable was that he didn't have a golden finger or a grandfather by his side.
His cheap father, the king, took away all the elite warriors of Xiguo, especially the 28 vassals who followed him. Each of them was a powerful Qi refiner with profound cultivation, and any one of them could easily sweep through a tribe.
The translation of the content is: "Cang Man pats his head: 'Cang Man can't beat him.'"
Now, without high-end combat power, naturally there is no ability to subdue barbarian tribes.
When Yao Yun entered the underground palace, he finally saw a real dragon in a water pool.
Elder Two, what about you? Do you have the ability to subdue? I heard that you also possess various powerful witchcraft and magical powers. After all, you are the great witch of the Xiguo.
Yao Yun's eyes lit up: "Do you really mean it?"
Otherwise, as a dragon, the absolute powerful being in this world, there is nowhere that cannot be enjoyed freely. Why bother mocking a mere prince of a vassal state for not making progress?
Yao Yun was stunned. This bald dragon is too despicable, always mocking him and preaching with a self-righteous tone, looking like he hates iron for not becoming steel. Most importantly, he is unable to refute.
Uncle Long, everyone is bullying us...
Er Ye!
Yes, Yao Yun definitely did not see it wrong. Those are a pair of deep and affectionate eyes, with a hint of crystal clearness in the copper bell-like dragon pupils. Even though there were numerous scars before, and the dragon blood dripped gracefully, he had never been like this until he saw Yao Yun...
The second elder was nagging, and the bald-headed dragon said in a strange tone, "You, as a prince, have been clueless for so many years. Letting the great wizard go to battle is ridiculous. If this happened in the imperial capital, the nobles would probably laugh their teeth out."
Hmph, you're overthinking it. I'm currently refining my dragon horn and in a period of dormancy, unable to use my power. Otherwise, I would have followed King Xi to battle long ago. Why bother living like this?
Yao Yun is very familiar with this kind of emotion, it is the feeling of family, the joy and affection of the elders looking at the younger generation in the family.
This is the Huangshi Heavenly Book!
However, Yao Yun was quickly disappointed.
This request is reasonable and logical. Naturally, no one opposes it. The bald-headed dragon even gave him a rare good face. This has made Yao Yun "pleasantly surprised".
Yao Yun shook his head helplessly: "They obviously reached a consensus in private. It's better to let it go for now and find a way to get back at them later."
Yao Yun respectfully called out, knowing that whether it was Bald Dragon or the current Dragon Er Ye, although they regarded King Xi as their master, their relationship was not simply that of master and servant. In fact, it was more of a brotherly bond. Despite Bald Dragon's sharp tongue, he actually cared about him.
The bald-headed dragon with a shriveled mouth said, "Your Highness, both I and Wu Lao Er are not very clear about it. But you can rest assured that although Prince Xi took away all the elite troops, he also left behind means of self-protection that are sufficient to protect you and Xi completely. Therefore, you don't need to panic!"
The atmosphere is awkward. Loyal Cang Man immediately stepped forward to save Yao Yun's face.
Yao Yun asked questions like a cannon.
