Volume 6 The Return of the Monarch God to the Broken Continent Chapter 3 Tianshui
The group stopped and stopped, and it took another ten days to reach the foot of Tianshui City. At this moment, the gates of Tianshui City were still closed, the banners on the city were in tatters, the city walls were covered with arrows, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
"There was just a big fight. Zhuo Hua said to the other two heads poking out of the car.
"It seems that the Sun Worship cult has always been regarded as a rabble, but now it is seen that they advance and retreat in a measured manner, and they are quite well armed. Yu Changsheng pointed to the wreckage of the self-propelled ladder that was still burning under the city.
"It should be that there should be a KitKat craftsman who has taken refuge in the dark side, otherwise how could this kind of important weapon of the country set in the hands of others?" Zhuo Hua frowned and said angrily.
"If there is chaos today, everyone is in danger, and this thing is not as affordable as a bowl of noodles and a pancake!" Yu Changsheng said as he bent down and walked out of the carriage.
The climate is gradually warming, and there is already a gentle east wind blowing on the earth, blowing a kind of warm temperature on people's faces.
Su Mengling shouted behind Zhuo Hua: "Big brother, if you can't open the gate of Tianshui City today, we will cut off supplies." As she spoke, she was moving the bedding from the warm car to another car, and the two maids were helping her.
Zhuo Hua smiled bitterly, looked up at the city that was still smoking, and thought to himself that after such a big battle, the general guarding the city would open the gate?
But you can't just stay in the city, you have to go in and see the patriarch of the Yan clan, Yan Donglai, both in public and private.
"You stay here, see if there is anything you need help over there, you can help, I'll come when I go." After Zhuo Hua finished speaking, without waiting for Changsheng to speak, he jumped into the walls of Tianshui, the first fortified city in Xiqi.
Smoke was rising everywhere in the city, and it was clear that this was not the smoke of the 10,000 houses that had risen at noon, but the sight of houses set ablaze by rockets and catapults outside the city, and the fire had been extinguished.
The houses near the city wall have been almost demolished, and it is believed that the officers and soldiers defending the city will transport the stones and timber removed from the city to the head of the city to repel the enemy army.
"How could the army of the Sun Worship Sect develop so rapidly, and how could it defeat the largest city in Xiqizhou so badly?" Zhuo Hua Yuqi swept through the air, and he couldn't help but wonder when he saw all kinds of miserable scenes on the ground.
In a short time, he had arrived at the largest and most striking building in the city. Zhuo Hua just fell to the ground at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and with a swipe, countless soldiers immediately surrounded him. Outside the crowd, a black-faced man was sitting on the steps outside the city lord's mansion, wiping his war knife while looking up and asking Zhuo Hua: "The art of controlling qi can be born! The Immortal Array waited and let them know that this day Water City is not a place where the miscellaneous people can come and leave when they want. ”
At the sound of an order, all the soldiers of the Smoke Army shouted and quickly formed a formation, still with the long shield in front, the iron spear in the middle, and the hard crossbow in the back.
Zhuo Hua thought to himself, when will you Yan Clan's broken formation be changed, don't shout for a long time every time before the formation is formed.
"I am Zhuo Hua Yuanjun, I have come to see Yan Donglai, this is the handwriting of Yan Dufeng. Zhuo Hua shook a long wooden box in his hand, and there was a bright red smoke fire paint seal on the lid.
The black-faced general recognized the box, that special smoke ripple is unique to the royal family of the Yan clan, he was careless just now, and now he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly called a cronie into the crowd to take back the long wooden box in Zhuo Hua's hand, and ran into the mansion in three steps and two steps.
"White-faced scholar, you say that you are the monarch of the Cloud Palace? Lao Tzu heard that you were kidnapped by a thief woman of the Dark Clan, why didn't he make you a prince of the village, but let you back?" As soon as the black-faced general said this, all the sergeants around him burst into laughter.
"If I am really the master of the Cloud Palace, do you dare to be so presumptuous?" Zhuo Hua asked with a grim face.
"I don't care if you are the master of the Cloud Palace, I guess you also saw the tragic situation of this Tianshui City when you came in just now. On this day, Shuicheng was originally the first important town in Western Xinjiang, known as the south of the Yangtze River. Now you look at it again, this Tianshui City, this Xiqizhou has become a purgatory on earth. And all this is thanks to you. The black-faced general became angrier and angrier the more he spoke, and slammed his sword on the stone steps.
"No matter who I am, as long as I have harmed the people and this great river and mountain, I am my enemy, and I must get rid of them as soon as possible. The black-faced general roared and shed tears: "Pity my family, before they could retreat to safety, they were stoned to death by the flowing stones outside the city, and the corpses can't be distinguished!"
With the howling and crying of the black-faced general, many of the soldiers around him also secretly shed tears, and the hatred in the eyes of the other part became stronger and stronger, holding the weapon in his hand tightly, and just waiting for the general to give an order, the thieves in this encirclement were broken into thousands of pieces.
"Do you know the crime of colliding with the monarch god?" Zhuo Hua was not angry, but asked lightly.
"The big deal is that if you die, and you are very afraid? I wish I would die early and go to accompany my children and my wife and parents. But the darkness and incompetence have allowed me to come back alive every time. ”
"Dare to ask the general's name?" Zhuo Hua really admired this black-faced man in his heart.
"Lao Tzu's name is Yan Congxu, the commander of the royal forbidden army. If you die, you can come to me for revenge, and don't trouble my innocent brothers. Yan Congxu glared at Zhuo Hua viciously.
"General Yan, the city lord has an order! Don't do it! Don't do it!" The guard held the golden sword token in his hand and ran out of the door as if flying.
"General, general! City Lord order! Collect the troops, quickly collect the troops!" the guard said breathlessly.
"Is it really the master of the Cloud Palace?" Yan Congxu was a little unconvinced.
"It's... It's true, the city lord will arrive soon, and the general will quickly collect his troops and prepare to meet them. The guards ran too quickly, and it took a long time to finish this sentence.
"Withdraw!" Yan Congxu waved his hand angrily in his heart, and with a bang, all the sergeants put away their weapons and quickly lined up on both sides of the road.
Yan Congxu reluctantly took up his helmet, strode in front of Zhuo Hua, and knelt down on one knee with his fists clenched: "The criminal minister Yan Congxu has just offended the monarch god, and please send the monarch god down." ”
At this moment, the gate of the city lord's mansion opened, and colorful colors came out of the mansion one after another. In the middle was an elder with a round face and a white face, who had just gone out and looked at Zhuo Hua carefully, and whispered: "It's really Yuanjun." Hurriedly ran to Zhuo Hua and knelt down, bowed his head in fear and said: "The minister is late, and the emperor has no way, please punish Yuanjun!"
Zhuo Hua said calmly: "Yanqing's family is flat. I visited by chance, but I didn't inform Yanqing, what a crime you have!"
He leaned down to help Yan Donglai up, and at the same time said to everyone on the spot, "Calm down!"
The rest of the people all got up and stood on both sides of the trail, but Yan Congxu still kneel with his fists clenched and bowed his head, not moving at all.
"Cong Xu, what are you doing at this time? Yan Donglai urged him in a low voice.
"Yan Congxu begs for death!"
"Nonsense! What kind of childish temper are you making at this time?" Yan Donglai was a little anxious and reached out to help, but Yan Congxu still didn't move, and even competed with him.
Zhuo Hua patted the city lord on the shoulder, and asked him to come.
So, Zhuo Hua leaned over and whispered a few words in Yan Cong Xu's ear, and after listening to it, Yan Cong Xu's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Impossible, this formation is perfect, what you said... What you said..."
Zhuo Hua didn't pay any attention to him, waved towards Yandong, and entered the City Lord's Mansion. And Yan Congxu immediately stood up, found a few waves of soldiers and began to practice the formation in a hurry according to what Zhuo Hua said just now.
Coming to the main hall of the front hall of the official office, Zhuo Hua stood in the middle. Yan Donglai led all the civil and military officials of Tianshui City to hold an official worship ceremony. After going through the process of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Zhuo Hua said to the ministers below: "I believe everyone has heard that I was kidnapped by the secret thieves, resulting in the Cloud Palace dragons being leaderless. Now that the people's livelihood is withering and the war situation is as dangerous as eggs, it is really my fault. But now I ask you to give Zhuo Hua a chance to make up for his mistakes,"
Hearing Zhuo Hua say this, everyone below shook their heads, and they all waved their hands and said how dare they dare.
Yan Donglai came out and said loudly: "Enlighten the monarch god." The reason why the secret thieves were able to wreak havoc on the Divine Continent was not the fault of the monarch god, but the fault of the Lanling fairy. As a descendant of Xuanhuang, she has the sacred mission of reorganizing the Xuanhuang clan, but she is in cahoots with the enemy and has done many rebellious things. This time, my Immortal Coalition was defeated so strangely, precisely because she secretly leaked the method of breaking the Immortal Clan's Immortal Formation to the Dark Clan and the Sun Worship Sect's gang of thieves. In addition, I heard that Song Xiang of the python clan also took refuge in the Lanling Fairy, and now..."
Speaking of this, Yan Donglai didn't dare to continue, and raised his eyes to look at Zhuo Hua's face.
Zhuo Hua hurriedly asked, "How about now?"
"Now, the python monarch Song Xiang led the python clan and has taken control of the Yunding Heavenly Palace, according to the escaped immortal clansmen, half of the four palaces have been submitted to the python monarch and supported Song Xiang as the new lord of the cloud palace. When Yan Donglai was talking about this matter, his eyes kept staring at Zhuo Hua's every move, word and deed.
"Impossible!" Zhuo Hua shouted, "With Lin Bai and Qin Ying here, how can they succeed?"
"The news said that the Lin Palace Lord and the Qin Palace Master, along with those who did not have avatars, had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison in the Cloud Palace. I don't know when I'm going to be... Be disposed of!"
"Lanling, you are so ruthless! Do you really want to melt this life and destroy it all in your hands?" Zhuo Hua's eyes were cracked, as if the Lanling Fairy was in front of him.
At this time, a trumpet sounded from outside the hall, and a report came: "Twenty miles outside the city, the enemy has been discovered." ”
Zhuo Hua suddenly remembered at this moment, and hurriedly took Yan Donglai's hand and said, "Quick! go and get the carriage outside the city into the city!"
