Chapter 1867: Chapter 437: Chen Jiusi Encounters a Fierce General in the Great Capital
Great Capital, the capital of the Daqian Empire, has been established for over a hundred years.
In Mulan Language, it’s called Hanbali, meaning: the residence of the Great Khan.
At the time of construction, it was built and planned by the court’s most revered craftsman master, Liu Bingzhong. It is the place where the Grand Ancestor ascended the throne and also the Longxing Land of the entire Daqian Empire.
Located in the north because the Mulan are a grassland people, typically Han Dynasty courts are in the heartlands of Central Plains, such as Luoyang, Chang’an, Nanjing, but at that time the Mulan found the Han people’s resistance quite fierce.
Additionally, nomads are not very fond of the southern humidity, so they directly built the capital city in the Northern regions.
Giddy-up, giddy-up...
Chen Jie and Zhao Ya rode two fast horses of the Jianghu Guests directly towards the Great Capital, encountering many Jianghu people on the road, frequently heading into the Great Capital.
Some of them were in disguise, but their disguises were unbearably miserable, worse than not disguising at all.
And some Jianghu Guests went further by not disguising at all, directly wearing Jianghu martial attire arriving at the Great Capital. Entering the city so brazenly, Chen Jie originally thought that he and the Commandery Princess’s Jianghu attire would raise the guard within the city.
But now discovered it did not, as the city gates of the Great Capital were wide open, inspections were much looser than usual, seemingly inviting martial arts figures from all over the world to the Capital City.
This shows Tuotuo’s magnanimity; he is opening the gates to let you in, the meaning is clear, "I see if you will take the bait."
I intend to catch you all in one net, if you come in then and lose your life inside, don’t blame our court for being ruthless.
Chen Jie looked around and saw the whole of the Great Capital like a crouching lion, opening its bloody mouth, waiting for Jianghu people to walk into its net; Tuotuo’s intention to achieve all in one fell swoop was evident.
Of course, to dare do this, he must have complete confidence, but who gave him this confidence?
That’s right, Living Buddha Basiba.
As the Imperial City, the Great Capital has experts of Land Immortal Level guarding it, this is why Tuotuo is more unscrupulous.
Conversely, these Heroes of the River, upon arriving at the Great Capital, saw the gates wide open, with just two old soldiers holding broken brooms, sweeping the street.
Displaying the appearance of an empty city strategy.
This made these already anxious Heroes of the River pause upon seeing the two old soldiers, and feel a sense of unease and fear.
Chen Jie followed Zhao Ya and mingled within the anxious crowd in front of the city gates, without drawing attention.
But at this moment, suddenly from afar came a black curly-haired Black Steed, ridden by a black-faced sturdy man.
This sturdy man was broad-chested and thick-waisted, had eyes like a bull, with a face full of boldness.
He rode to the gate of the Great Capital, looked around at the people, a scornful smile appeared on his face, and said, "Hehe, a bunch of gutless rats, you’ve arrived at the gate of the Great Capital yet hesitate here, if you’re afraid why come at all?"
"A bunch of spineless things!"
The sturdy man contemptuously shouted at the lingering Jianghu people, hearing this, naturally there were those who were unhappy, and someone responded to the sturdy man, "What kind of thing are you, to dare reprimand us?"
"Why, not convinced?"
The sturdy man looked at these Jianghu people, who instantly erupted in anger, many drew knives ready to step forward, but at this moment the sturdy man said with a murderous look, "Do you dare have a go with me?"
With wide eyes, a terrifying aura instantly swept over, frightening everyone into a shiver, then realizing the person before them was so arrogant because he was a tough one, with strength at the Molten Furnace Realm!
Glared and said, "Why, not convinced? If not, come up and spar with me."
With that, the sturdy man rolled up his sleeves ready to challenge the Heroes of the River in the venue, but these Jianghu Guests chickened out, none dared to step forward.
The Jianghu Guest disparagingly said, "A bunch of spineless wretches."
After these words, the Heroes of the River turned sullen, someone shouted, "Who are you to act so arrogant? I will challenge you!"
With that, he charged directly, attacking the sturdy man.
The sturdy man’s eyes turned with a smile, "Haha, I thought it was a bunch of spineless ones, never thought there’s one with guts, let me see your worth."
With that, the sturdy man watched the charging hero, saw him draw a long spear from behind, and attack the horse-riding sturdy man at the gate.
He thrust forward with the spear, but the sturdy man on the Black Steed dodged directly.
Seeing the thrust failed, he thrust again, dodged once more, and repeatedly so, after several thrusts, just heard a slap, the spear was directly caught by the opponent’s hand.
"Let go of me!"
The spear-wielding man shouted angrily, and at this moment saw the sturdy man on the Black Steed laugh heartily, "I thought you had some skill, but you’re just like that, scram!"
With that, the man was directly lifted up by the sturdy man holding the spear, then pushed forcefully.
With a slap, he fell off the horse.
At this moment, the Black Steed sturdy man said, "Rats like you, don’t try to act tough like others, go home and learn from your mistress."
With a slap, just saw the sturdy man directly shoot the spear towards the crotch of the challenging Jianghu Guest.
When the spear landed directly there, violently trembling there, seeing this scene.
The spear-wielding Jianghu Guest seemed to be immensely aggrieved, shouting, "You, dare humiliate me like this, declare your name!"
