Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 374 - 313: Letter from the North (Request for monthly ticket)
Chapter 374: Chapter 313: Letter from the North (Request for monthly ticket)
As Chen Yuan ventured deep into General Mountain, which was like a furnace of heaven and earth,
approximately thirty minutes later, streaks of light broke through the sky from afar, successively approaching the periphery of General Mountain, causing loud sonic booms.
A treasure has emerged in General Mountain!
The news spread swiftly because it was only about a hundred miles from Jingguan City; experts of Heavenly Pass could reach here in just 15 minutes at full speed.
But at this moment, around General Mountain, both in the sky and on the ground, banners fluttered, and soldiers in black armor lined up.
The Ninth Mountain Banner flapped loudly!
"This place is dangerous, stay back!"
"By General’s orders, no one is allowed to enter."
The whistle sounded sharply, with mounted Nineth Mountain Soldiers holding banners and circling around General Mountain to spread the message.
Indeed, streaks of human figures in radiant light actually stopped, not daring to charge into the military formation, waiting at the perimeter.
These people looked on with anticipation, seeing from afar the thick smoke billowing above General Mountain. The mountain glowed red, enveloped in a golden light screen, occasionally spitting out brilliant fiery glows, making eyes blaze with excitement, yet seeing the sternly prepared Ninth Mountain Soldiers sparked irritation and wariness in them.
Not wary of the soldiers, but of the flapping Ninth Mountain Banner in the stormy snow. After all, the main base of Ninth Mountain was near Jingguan City, and the Colonel was present.
Among these observers were the experts of Heavenly Pass from Jingguan and all kinds of people from various places.
The local Heavenly Pass could merely acknowledge, though they were intrigued, they dared not create chaos.
Among the others, characterized by fleeting gazes, some displayed dark looks and annoyance, feeling the actions of Ninth Mountain were overly domineering.
Yet, after all, these were officials in their own right, with justified orders; if they were to be killed after breaching, they wouldn’t have a leg to stand on to complain.
They were waiting, believing not everyone was intimidated by the might of Colonel Zhong Lang from Ninth Mountain.
At this moment, amid the snowy winds, two dazzling figures flew out from among the crowd, drawing many eyes.
One woman wore colorful clothing, her face stunningly beautiful, with skin like ice and bones like jade, resembling a person stepping right out of a painting, her eyes and brows carrying a hint of arrogance, while the woman by her side contrasted sharply: charming facial features, narrow phoenix eyes, three cinnabar marks on her forehead enhancing her already radiant and noble mixed aura, particularly eye-catching.
Both women stood together, splendid and dazzling, making people marvel and wonder when Jingguan City had such stunning women!
However, these two women dared to break into the military formation, many were familiar with the style of Ninth Mountain, and waited to see what would unfold.
The two women, driven by excitement, were none other than Qin Rushuang and Dugu Jialuo!
As the women flew to the front of the military ranks, the sounds of swords being drawn rang out. The soldiers facing them were new recruits, who had not seen Qin Rushuang before. Despite being somewhat distracted by the beauty of the two women, they tried to maintain seriousness, hands on their waist-swords, drawing them halfway,
"Stop there!"
"This area is dangerous and has been sealed off; you are prohibited from approaching!"
Opposite, Dugu Jialuo’s phoenix eyes shifted, signaling her friend Qin Rushuang to take something out.
Qin Rushuang was somewhat helpless with her elder sister-like friend, who enjoyed excitement and insisted on prompting her for a look at the mountain’s happenings, despite Ninth Mountain having sealed the surrounding area, military orders being absolute, with strict military rules, she didn’t wish to waste the goodwill shown by General Chen by committing any transgressions.
Sister Jialuo wanted her to present the Pass Token!
She was coerced into coming, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Just then, coincidentally, the Colonel leading the team was nearby – Niu Bing, who was stationed here with his troops. He recognized Qin Rushuang and quickly jumped forward, urging loudly,
"What are you doing, sheathe your swords, she’s one of us."
"This Fairy Qin is one of the Weiyuan Eight Heroes, who fought side by side with the general, do not be rude."
He then turned to Qin Rushuang and apologized,
"I am Niu Bing, the fairy might not recognize me, but I have had the privilege of seeing the fairy’s grace at Weiyuan Pass."
"Fairy Qin forgive us; these men are freshly recruited, does the fairy wish to enter the mountain? However, the general has ordered a blockade, I need to ask General Piaoqi for instructions."
His barrage of fervent words overwhelmed Qin Rushuang.
Before she could respond, the man hurriedly turned and leaped away to seek approval.
The junior soldiers, upon seeing this, looked at each other in surprise and held their arms.
"Please forgive us, fairy!"
The cold arrogance in Qin Rushuang’s eyes faded, "No harm!"
Meanwhile, giggles came from the side, Dugu Jialuo chuckled looking at Qin Rushuang, "Still, younger sister has greater influence."
Although it was a jest, at that moment, Dugu Jialuo’s beautiful eyes roved, witnessing the genuine respect Ninth Mountain’s soldiers showed her sister, she felt a deeper understanding of the battlefield stories told by Qin Rushuang. She had never experienced this feeling herself; the respect shown by people around her was solely because she was the daughter of the Unbeatable Marquis.
Qin Rushuang was about to respond to her elder sister’s teasing when suddenly she spoke out,
"Sister, what do you think about becoming a female general in the future?"
Getting used to her sister’s abrupt shifts in topic, Qin Rushuang naturally nodded, "It should be nice."
Dugu Jialuo’s eyes brightened, saying no more.
Within moments, a voice rang out.
"Let them pass!"
Following these words, a streak of light landed on the ground, revealing a figure in red armor exuding a fierce aura, and on the left shoulder perched a white-headed, fang-baring monkey.
The newcomer was Yun Tiansheng.
Yun Tiansheng swiftly approached, his troops parting ways.
