Chapter 136 Brother Zhao, are you willing to join the Great Snow Dragon Riders?
But at the same time, this invincible power also brings some troubles.
There is no stronger enemy in the world. Even if the enemy is ten times more numerous than oneself, it will be turned into dust in a moment, which is even easier than destroying rotten wood.
How could one not be itchy to have such power but nowhere to use it?
So he rode his horse slowly until he stood side by side with Huo Qubing, who had stopped fighting.
Huo Qubing was not merciful in allowing the enemy to flee. In fact, the defeated enemy was not strong enough for the Snow Dragon Cavalry to chase.
According to military regulations, their mission is to defeat the main force of the enemy, and the subsequent cleanup of the battlefield will be taken over by the auxiliary troops.
The physical strength of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is like a treasure, and they need to accumulate strength at all times in preparation for the real tough battles.
As the saying goes: This is just like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito!
Because it is so vulnerable, it is not worth mentioning.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard as the First Emperor and Huo Qubing rode side by side, their eyes fixed on the enemy troops that were scattered in panic. Both of them remained silent.
Huo Qubing was the first to break the silence and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"
The First Emperor said frankly: "It is wonderful and I am proud of it, but I still feel it is not enough."
"Hahahaha!"
Huo Qubing laughed loudly and said, "This is the mental journey that every Snow Dragon Rider must go through!"
"I see it, I arrive, and I win!"
"Before my Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, who else in this world dares to compete with me?"
Hearing this, the First Emperor also laughed heartily.
Only those who wear the Great Snow Dragon Rider's uniform can fully appreciate this state of mind.
Huo Qubing said seriously at this moment: "Brother Zhao, are you interested in joining my Great Snow Dragon Cavalry?"
On the towering hillside, Huo Qubing invited him to fight against the powerful enemy together.
At this moment, he was wearing glittering armor and climbing onto his horse. All the dragoons around him focused their eyes on his heroic demeanor. At this moment, his heart was filled with emotions.
A premonition quietly grew, and this situation was like a severe test.
If Huo Qubing had immediately expressed his intention to invite him to join the army at that time, he would have definitely refused.
Because he was the emperor, how could he serve under his own son and become an ordinary member of an army?
However, Huo Qubing's wisdom was that he did not rush to extend an olive branch, but first led him to experience a thrilling battle, and then expressed his intention to recruit him after the smoke cleared.
He knew that any man with lofty ambitions and a passion for the battlefield would remain indifferent in the face of such temptation.
Outside the battlefield, people might only praise the bravery and ferocity of the Snow Dragon Riders.
Once you personally ride the divine dragon horse, feel the majestic momentum of its hooves shaking the earth, hold the spear in your hand, and no one can stop you wherever you point it, the pleasure and pride are enough to make you intoxicated and unable to stop.
No one can resist this taste!
As expected, at this moment the First Emperor was shaken.
Even if you are the emperor, you cannot resist this fatal temptation.
Just imagine, riding on a mount as majestic as a dragon, carrying a thousand-pound armor on your shoulders, holding a three-meter-long dragon spear, being invincible, and wherever you pass, the enemies fall like dry grass.
Such a refreshing battle experience is hard to resist even for an ordinary man, let alone Qin Shi Huang who was obsessed with conquest all his life!
Looking back on the past, he was once the King of Qin, and later ascended the throne as emperor. He personally led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to sweep across the world and unify China.
Although he was sitting in the center of the army at that time, planning strategies, overlooking the world with supreme majesty, achieving great hegemony and being on par with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he also felt extremely happy in his heart.
However, those glorious moments cannot compare to the excitement and freedom of riding a horse and charging straight into Huanglong today.
This kind of unstoppable passion of carrying thousands of pounds of force, galloping between heaven and earth, was a shock he had never experienced in his life. At this moment, he almost wanted to abandon his status as an emperor and be willing to follow Huo Qubing and become an ordinary Snow Dragon Rider, cutting through the sky with the tip of his spear and making the world submit to him!
However, just as he was about to say this, he hesitated again.
He knew very well that as an emperor, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the country, how could he act recklessly and join the army?
He still needs to protect this hard-earned territory!
The First Emperor looked solemn and let out a long sigh.
"Mr. Zhao has important duties to perform, so it is difficult for me to obey your order." He declined politely.
When Huo Qubing heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
When two peerless heroes met, they thought that if they could let each other experience the excitement of the battlefield, they would fall in love with it and gladly join this iron-blooded army. However, they did not expect that they were tied down by a more important mission.
"but……"
The words of the First Emperor rang out again, and it was obvious that the desire in his heart had not subsided.
"If one day I can safely entrust my career to someone else, I may come to you, General. I hope you will accept me then!"
His tone was firm, his eyes flickering with anticipation.
Huo Qubing suddenly understood what was said and laughed out loud: "It's a deal!"
He then took out the Snow Dragon Order, which symbolized the authority of the Great Snow Dragon Riders, and threw it at the First Emperor.
"In that case, Brother Zhao will be regarded as an honorary member of my Great Snow Dragon Riders today!"
"One day in the future, Brother Zhao only needs to hold this Snow Dragon Order and you can come to find me anytime and anywhere."
Huo Qubing's words were powerful, and the shining Snow Dragon Order in his hand was like a contract that spanned time and space, carrying his endless trust and commitment to his best friend.
"If Brother Zhao encounters danger, as long as he does not violate the justice of the Great Qin, this token will serve as proof that you can mobilize the power of ten Great Snow Dragon Riders to help you!"
Ying Zheng took the Snow Dragon Order steadily, stared at the patterns engraved on it, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The scene before him seemed familiar. Not long ago, he had received a letter written by Dong Zhongshu himself, sincerely inviting him to take up an important position in the court.
However, Ying Zheng at that time did not accept this kindness, but cleverly used the opportunity to sneak into the Qin Dynasty's latest grain reserves.
Compared with that opportunity, Ying Zheng was determined to cherish the Snow Dragon Order given by Huo Qubing.
Perhaps one day, when he can safely entrust the country to others and unload the burden of being an emperor, he will be happy to become a Great Snow Dragon Rider.
Cross the border and conquer every inch of land within sight with iron hooves, and incorporate it all into the territory of Qin.
That is the true ambition deep in Ying Zheng's heart!
After properly putting away the Dragon Rider Order, Ying Zheng bowed deeply to Huo Qubing, and the two of them stood side by side and watched the enemy army fleeing in panic.
Suddenly, Ying Zheng's sharp eyes caught a familiar figure at the front of the enemy cavalry, Zhang Liang.
The First Emperor was slightly shocked. Anyone who knew my identity must not be allowed to stay!
Likewise, those cavalrymen must not be let go!
Huo Qubing keenly perceived the Emperor's mood swings and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you have any personal grudges that have not been resolved?"
Ying Zheng shook his head slightly, but then nodded, thinking to himself: As the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the hatred I have with others can probably no longer be simply defined as "personal hatred."
Without further explanation, he said, "The secrets those cavalrymen know are too great to be allowed back into the rebel camp."
