Chapter 126 Fighting Side by Side
On this very day, as sunlight streamed down the border defense line, He Beixi strode steadily, diligently inspecting the section of land he was responsible for. Every inch of this land, every outpost, bore the vital mission of protecting the Gongzhou border.
However, just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats approached from afar. He Beixi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of messengers dressed in the uniforms of the Zhao State's border-expanding army flying through the air, galloping towards him like a whirlwind. They came before He Beixi, and the leader clasped his hands in salute before saying, "General He, someone is looking for you at the Tianhe camp. Please go there immediately!"
He Beixi was taken aback upon hearing this, secretly wondering who could be summoning him from the Tianhe Camp? After all, the Tianhe Camp was the core of the entire Tianhe Legion, housing the elite troops carefully trained by the Zhao royal family.
These legions not only possess a large number of experts at the Celestial Realm, but also have rumored Saint Realm powerhouses in command. And I am merely an ordinary general; I can't fathom what important figures I could possibly have any connection with.
He Beixi frowned, lost in thought. He carefully recalled his recent experiences, but he couldn't recall any clues that might be related to the matter.
Could it be due to a mistake in a military mission? Or perhaps he had inadvertently offended some powerful figure? Various speculations swirled in his mind, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
The Heavenly River Legion was a powerful army specially formed by the Zhao royal family to expand their borders. It was enormous, numbering ten million.
This legion is built upon the renowned Black Armor Legion, Blood-Clad Battalion, Azure Guard, and Heavenly Azure Legion—all under the Zhao royal family—as its core forces. It also incorporates experts and elite disciples from various powerful factions within the Zhao kingdom. Such a formidable lineup naturally results in extremely powerful combat capabilities.
Although He Beixi is now under the command of the Tianhe Legion, he has not yet fully grasped the intricate network of relationships within this vast military camp. Faced with this sudden summons, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Even the messenger team that just came to deliver the message to He Beixi was composed of twelve experts at the True Person Realm! It should be known that experts at the True Person Realm are already considered powerful figures in the cultivation world. They possess extraordinary strength and unfathomable skills.
Such a powerful messenger team is not surprising, after all, without the support of these top experts, how can important information be transmitted safely, quickly and accurately? However, faced with such an impressive messenger team, He Beixi couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
After calming down a bit, He Beixi immediately and methodically gave instructions on the tasks at hand. Then, without hesitation, he followed the messenger and flew towards the Tianhe Camp.
Along the way, He Beixi pondered to himself, "What's meant to be will be. Since I've already come this far, I might as well face it bravely!"
Before long, He Beixi and his group arrived safely at the Tianhe Camp. Led by a messenger, He Beixi passed through layers of tents and finally arrived at a rather conspicuous tent. At this moment, He Beixi was wearing a suit of jet-black armor, exuding an extremely solemn and murderous aura.
After three months of arduous military training, coupled with his experience in commanding and training troops in the Tai Xuan Army, He Beixi now exudes the demeanor of a seasoned general.
Inside the tent, Zhao Musheng sat upright in a chair, like a pure and elegant white lotus. Her white dress resembled the white petals, highlighting her innocent and lovely nature.
Her long hair was tied up high, resembling a proud and upright green bamboo, giving her a dashing and eye-catching appearance. Sitting there, she seemed like a celestial maiden descended to earth, her fair skin and beautiful face stunning.
When He Beixi stepped into the tent and saw Zhao Musheng, a surge of unexpected joy welled up in his heart. Zhao Musheng, upon seeing He Beixi, beamed with a smile as radiant as spring flowers. Her gaze, sparkling like shooting stars, constantly scrutinized He Beixi, as if trying to see beyond his appearance to the depths of his heart, wanting to see if her beloved had been injured recently.
Zhao Musheng broke the silence first, saying softly, "Brother Beixi, it's been a long time." He Beixi quickly clasped his hands in greeting, his voice booming like a bell, "This humble general greets Your Highness. May I ask why Your Highness has summoned this humble general?"
Zhao Musheng pouted slightly and said coquettishly, "Brother Beixi, there's no one else here, why be so reserved? I just heard that you're working very hard guarding the front line here, so I specially asked Father to let me come and visit you." Although what Zhao Musheng said was slightly untrue, in fact, she was able to come to the front line with the tacit approval of King Zhao.
A warm feeling welled up in He Beixi's heart, but his face still showed worry. He said softly, "Princess's actions may cause gossip. After all, there are many soldiers in the army, and people talk a lot."
Zhao Musheng waved her hand dismissively, saying coquettishly, "This princess doesn't care about those pointless gossips! Brother Beixi, take a look at this."
Before she finished speaking, she magically produced an exquisitely crafted pill from her bosom and carefully handed it to He Beixi. The pill emitted a faint fragrance, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.
"This is a sacred healing medicine treasured by the royal family for many years. If you get injured on the battlefield, Brother Beixi, you can get timely treatment." Zhao Musheng blinked her bright eyes, looking at He Beixi with concern. He Beixi quickly shook his head and declined, but Zhao Musheng stuffed the pill into his hand without saying a word.
Just then, a commotion broke the tranquility outside the tent. Immediately afterward, a soldier with a flustered expression rushed into the tent, knelt on one knee, and reported to the two: "Your Highness, General, demons have been discovered attacking the border, and this time the number of demons is quite large."
Upon hearing this news, He Beixi's eyes instantly turned cold and sharp. He stood up abruptly, clasped his hands in a fist and said to Zhao Musheng, "Your Highness, please forgive me for going ahead. I must immediately rush to the defensive line I am responsible for to resist the enemy." After saying that, he turned and strode out of the tent.
After He Beixi left, Zhao Musheng did not hesitate at all, quickly returning to her inner tent to change into a set of imposing battle armor. Her posture was upright, her heroic spirit was overwhelming, and she seemed to have been reborn.
Subsequently, she led a team of Imperial Guards specifically responsible for her safety and rushed towards He Beixi's defense zone without hesitation, determined to fight alongside He Beixi and jointly resist the invading enemy.
When He Beixi arrived at the defense line at lightning speed, he saw that the area was filled with an evil aura, and all kinds of monsters were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, like a group of demons having a party.
He acted decisively, directing his soldiers to quickly form ranks, like a group of steel warriors, ready for battle. In an instant, arrows rained down like locusts, and magical light crisscrossed like shooting stars.
Zhao Musheng took the lead, leading the Imperial Guards to the scene like a whirlwind. Seeing the intensity of the battle, she threw herself into it without hesitation, shining like a bright star that illuminated the entire battlefield.
She wielded a long sword, her swordsmanship nimble and graceful. Each thrust was like a fairy dancing, light yet deadly, and demons fell one after another under her sword.
He Beixi was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pan. While fighting the enemy, he approached Zhao Musheng and shouted loudly, "Princess, be careful!"
However, a gigantic wolf, like a ghost, seized the opportunity and pounced on Zhao Musheng's back like a hungry tiger. He Beixi, frantic with worry, rushed forward without hesitation, like a bolt of lightning, shielding her from behind. His arm was scratched by the wolf, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Musheng was enraged. Like a volcanic eruption, a powerful force burst forth from his body, like a surging torrent, instantly killing the demon wolf.
As Zhao Musheng's strength increased significantly, the two cooperated seamlessly, working together perfectly to quickly repel the demon clan's attack. After the battle, He Beixi gazed at Zhao Musheng with rapt attention, his heart filled with admiration and love, as if she were the sun in his heart. Zhao Musheng, her face flushed, looked at the injured He Beixi and whispered, "Brother Beixi, it's good that you're alright."
And so, in the days that followed, Zhao Musheng acted as a guardian angel, leading the Imperial Guards who protected him to fight alongside He Beixi on this defensive line, together resisting the invasion of the demon race.
