【Ancient Country iQue】 Act 14 [Return to the Clouds]

Dongji Shuguo, located in the north of Dongji, borders Mexico and Luo in the south, and is adjacent to the two powerful countries of Xia and Yan in the east.

In the past, it was the largest country in northern Ji, and the number of dependent countries in its territory was the largest in Dongji. However, due to the impact of the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" and the war with Mexico, the glory has gradually become a thing of the past.

Mingyue City is the capital of the country.

In the second year of Emperor Huai of Dongji, August 10.

When flags printed with red flames poured into this lonely city in the howling cold wind. Five thousand six hundred and fourteen warriors dressed in black and cyan heavy armor with red flame patterns printed on them, under the leadership of Yun Fan, returned to the eyes of the world.

The earth trembled at their sonorous steps.

In an instant, the originally cold streets became extremely lively because of the arrival of this group of samurai. The car is like a dragon, and the people are like mountains and seas, moving when they hear the wind. The curious little girl poked out her curious little head on the path that this group of iron-clad beasts must pass. Her eyes widened and she fixed her eyes on the direction the samurai had come from, fearing that she would miss this important moment, but her mother found out and quickly pulled the little girl back into the crowd, hiding behind her and reprimanding her. Even so, when the samurai passed in front of the mother and daughter, the little girl who was scolded by her mother wiped away her tears and couldn't help but poke out her curious little head again.

There has always been a great deal of curiosity and awe about these warriors, and most of the legends about them are linked to ancient mythology, and they are no less than the stories of princely generals. But when this group of legendary samurai really appeared in front of those who had heard the story, those who had heard the story should be afraid, and they would still be afraid after all.

Ordinary people would be afraid of being implicated in their inexplicable dealings, and the princes and nobles could not help but be afraid when they saw that they were pretending to be calm no matter what. Since the Ember Dynasty, to the east and west, there have been countless nobles who have died under the swords of this group of monsters in all dynasties.

No one knows why these samurai came or where they are going. I don't know why the sword in their hands will point in this chaotic world.

Legend has it that these "monsters", covered in black and cyan armor and exposed only their snorts and eyes, were able to condense their white wings in the moonlight, and even if they were heavily armoured, they could soar into the sky like eagles; they could easily destroy the forbidden army guarding the royal city like papier-mâché with swords made of starlight, or they could take off the heads of enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, and then retreat with their whole bodies; they carved red flames on heavy black and blue armor as totemic patterns and printed them as banners.

They were heroic warriors who followed the eldest son of the Emperor of Heaven, "Xi".

And the world often calls them the Red Yan Samurai.

However, legends are just legends after all, Mingyue City is still the Mingyue City of the year, but he is no longer the self he was back then. When everyone's eyes were attracted by these heavy-armored samurai with steel and iron bones, a group of Hokuriku people wearing mink furs and riding horses, under the escort of the samurai, slowly entered the capital of the Dongji Shu Kingdom.

And that man, at this time, rode the Zhenguo Divine Beast of the Long-Cherished Kingdom and walked to the front of the team. The Zhenguo Divine Beast of the Kingdom of Su is a burly giant wolf with snow-white velvet hair. Legend has it that when the wolf rages, frost and mist will linger between its hooves and claws, and everything in heaven and earth will be enveloped in endless snow in its long roar. And because it was born with bloody eyes and black eyes, it was named "bloody eyes and frost hoof".

In the early years, this mythical beast married the Hokuriku Sa Department with Yun Chen, the sister of the old country lord Yun Chen, and then disappeared in the chaos due to the rebellion of the Ten Marquis of the Hokuriku Sa Ministry. It is said that some people have seen it in the "Red Yan Rebellion", but there is no way to verify it.

And now the man got it back.

The man had a long knife wrapped in an inky black scabbard hanging from his waist. This is a sharp blade with a red flame tattooed on the center of the handle, a blade four feet three inches long, one and a half inches wide, and a blood-black blade all over the body.

Named "Heavenly Fang", this knife is a magic knife that contains the power of chaos and destruction, and can tear the heavens and the earth apart in an instant, and reduce everything to nothing.

Legend has it that the Emperor of Heaven "Hao" used it to kill the twelve ancient demon gods, thus establishing the order of this world. After that, the eldest son of the Emperor of Heaven "Xi" used this knife to kill his brother "Shuo", ending the terrible end of the eternal night. It's a pity that the final years have been covered with dust for it. After all, mortals can't really control this knife, let alone try to unleash the true power that slumbers in this knife. But Yun Fan didn't believe in this evil.

And who is this Yun Fan?

He is the current prince of the Hokuriku Sabu, the future lord of the kingdom of dreams, the leader of the five thousand six hundred and fourteen Chiyan warriors in Bright Moon City at this moment, and the master of this magic sword.

His dark complexion resembles that of a barbarian in the North Continent, and he is already tall and strong, so it is no wonder that the onlookers did not recognize him as the prince who had been missing for many years. The straight bridge of his nose, like a knife-cut face, the afternoon sun gilded him with a faint layer of gold.

In the deep gaze, there are the vicissitudes of life left behind after the wind and frost.

Obviously only in his early twenties, but he seems to have experienced half a lifetime of joys and sorrows, some people may say that he has changed, but no one should ask him what he has experienced over the years.

Far away, far away.

You can vaguely see the palace of Mirror Moon City, which is connected to Mingyue City, standing in the sea of clouds, mountains and fog, like in a dream. After the end of the "Chiyan Rebellion", the second imperial capital of the Dongji Dynasty was adjacent to the Mingyue City of the Shuguo Kingdom, so the world often called Jingyue City and Mingyue City together as the "City of Twins".

Later, this glorious Jingyue City, the second imperial capital of Dongji, was scorched to earth by a "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" that still has no reason in the past few years since Yun Fan left. Since Bright Moon City borders Mirror Moon City, it was also seriously affected at that time.

After the "Jingwei Pass War", the new emperor of the Dongji Dynasty was located in the "Jingguang" in the territory of the Luo Kingdom. Today's Mirror Moon City, only a ruin remains, waiting to be rebuilt, at this time, Mingyue City, the capital of the state of Shuguo, is in the recovery stage of a hundred ruins after the impact of the Heavenly Fire Tribulation and the siege of the Mexican Kingdom.

Most of the people who came to watch along the way were yellow and thin, and the bricks and tiles of some of the buildings seemed to have been repaired for the first time. It's a little cold, but it's not devastating.

Although Yun Fan hadn't been back for many years, he had never forgotten every grass and tree in Bright Moon City. This is where he grew up, and it's fair to say that every brick carries memories of his childhood that he rarely mentions to others.

If it weren't for the appearance of a woman in black a few years ago, he had doubts about his life experience and went to Beilu alone, maybe he would have been the lord of the country at this moment.

The news of Yun Fan's return was not known to many people at this time. This news is an unexpected surprise for the people of the Shu Kingdom and even for the entire Dongji countries, but in the face of such a surprise, in the end, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and it is unknown.

"This city is what you often call the "Pearl of Jibei" Mingyue City?" The little girl did not speak the common Chinese language of the Ji Dynasty, but the barbarian language.

"Hmm. Yun Fan nodded and said, there seemed to be some sentimentality and a little self-reproach in his eyes, "It's a pity that due to years of war, this place is no longer as prosperous and lively as before." ”

The little girl understands the Chinese language, but only in the Chinese lingua franca, but if you communicate with her in the Chinese lingua franca, she can understand what you say, but you may not be able to understand what she says.

Yun Fan understood what she said, after all, in the years when he disappeared into Dongji, the sword of Beilu had inadvertently forced this man who grew up in the Chinese clan to be proficient in the barbarian language.

Soon after the establishment of the Ji Dynasty, the great Emperor Jiwu laid down a unified script, language, currency, and weights and measures. Although the vassal states still retain their native dialects and cultures, they usually use the common Chinese language prescribed by Emperor Jiwu to facilitate communication with other countries.

Ink-colored pupils, vigilant gaze, wheat-colored hands clenched the handle of the gold knife wrapped in white fur mink at his waist, looking very nervous.

Her name is Sinzayma, and "Sinza" is her surname, which means "just rising moon" in barbarian culture, while "Yima" has two meanings.

On the first floor is the "beautiful girl".

On the first floor are the "rebellious warriors".

Although this girl, who was as beautiful as the rising moon, looked a little thin, when she waved the sharp golden knife at her waist, she would change into a different shape.

Sinzaima is one of the six generals of the famous Hokuriku.

"Sa" is a tribe in the Hokuriku, a tribe that actually perished more than 20 years ago, and legend has it that their lord has the blood of the Ember Dynasty royal family in his veins, but due to his age, it is difficult to verify this nowadays. And now, this tribe, which should have been extinct, has been regrouped by Yun Fan.

"Prince, then if we enter the city in such a bright and bright way, will we let the lord of the country leave any talk to the princes of Dongji. Sinzaima looked at Yun Fan with some concern. Yun Fan was a little surprised by her worries.

In Yun Fan's impression, Xin Zaima rarely cares about these questions, but since Xin Zaima asked, Yun Fan naturally would not fail to tell her: "Those who dare to enter and leave the country at this time, except for us, are only the merchants of Beilu and the fine works of other countries." We still have more than 10,000 people in the Sa Department, and we can't hide it, if these more than 10,000 people are disguised as business travelers, and gather in Shumingyue City at the same time in a short period of time. These princes of Dongji are not our children of Beilu. We don't need to do anything else. ”

"The more unclear it is, the more suspicious it is. It's better to be frank and open, and be bright. Just as Sinzaima was talking to Yun Fan, a woman with a mink tail tied up and a woman dressed in purple stepped forward and stood side by side with Yun Fan.

The bright white complexion is in stark contrast to Yun Fan's dark skin. Purple clothes with pale pink petals hunt in the wind, beautiful blonde hair stands out in the sun, white jade is bone ice as muscle, and blue eyes as jewels are fascinating.

This woman doesn't look like a Hokuriku at all.

As we all know, the people of the Hokuriku have always been dark-skinned, tall and big! Such petite and lovely, with skin fairer and more tender than the ladies of the Ji Dynasty, how can they be Hokuriku people?

However, she did grow up in Hokuriku since she was a child.

When she made eye contact with her, Sinzaima immediately placed her right hand on her left shoulder and gave the woman the highest military salute, and her tone was full of respect and adoration: "Greetings, sir." ”

Yun Fan saw that she was coming, but she was returning alone, so he showed a puzzled look: "Where have you been Gu Yina, what about the others? Didn't you come back with you?" ”

Gu Yina is Yun Fan's advisor, and can be said to be his right-hand man, but she is not one of the six generals of the Sa Department. In the days when Yun Fan was in Beilu all these years, if Gu Yina hadn't advised him, where would he be as beautiful as he is now.

Unlike Sinzaima, Guyina is fluent in many languages, from the major barbarian tribes to the various dialects of the Ji Dynasty, including the Chinese lingua franca, and she is very fluent.

"In order for everything to go smoothly, I have arranged something for them to do, so that some people in this city will not forget about the prince. Under the daylight, Gu Yina smiled at Yun Fan, but Yun Fan didn't see it. At this moment, Yun Fan was thinking about what the next situation in this city would be.

"The world knows that I am the true master of this city. Although some people may have forgotten about it. Between the words, Yun Fan's mind gradually emerged some familiar people and scenes from the past, "However, judging from the fanfare we have entered the city now, I believe they will definitely remember everything soon." ”

Sinzaima wanted to say something more, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed again. Maybe, because she has never seen the scene of being welcomed by so many people in her life, she will inevitably be a little worried and nervous.

Gu Yina, who has always been serious, noticed that Xin Zaima wanted to speak and stopped, and looked at Xin Zaima for the first time to show a muttering expression, strange and cute, Gu Yina couldn't help laughing. This attracted Yun Fan's attention, so he teased Gu Yina: "You actually laugh too?"

"Not only can I laugh, but I can also cry! Why don't you cry for the prince now?" Gu Yina responded to Yun Fan mischievously.

"Just cry. Yun Fan's gaze gradually deepened here, "It's more interesting to see you giggle than to listen to you cry, but now I'm more concerned about whether they will appear at tonight's banquet." ”

"When the prince speaks of them, he refers to our people or the head of the local family of the Su Kingdom you mentioned earlier. Sinzaima asked, scratching her head.

Yun Fan said lightly: "It's all right." ”

"Our people won't be here tonight. Gu Yina retracted her smile slightly, opened her lips, and her expression was like a summer flower a moment ago, but at this moment it was suddenly as cold as frost, "And these heads of long-cherished families will definitely not appreciate their faces." ”

"I heard that the princes and royal families of the Ji Dynasty have always attached great importance to etiquette and music, is it a little inappropriate for them to do this?" Xin Zaima didn't know why, since he left Beilu and came here, he always looked ahead and backwards, and he didn't have the slightest unruliness and presumptuousness before, "Since you came from afar, prince, in order not to appear that we are very knowledgeable, do you want to prepare some gifts?"

"What kind of gifts do you think we should prepare?" Yun Fan looked curiously at Sinzaima in front of him, he didn't know what made this invincible killing god on the battlefield so worried.

"How about our specialty Xingliao Liquor?" Xingliao Liquor is a fine wine of the Hokuriku Sabu, which has been priceless since the establishment of the Ji Dynasty, and its brewing method is still a mystery.

Legend has it that this kind of wine is guided by starlight, there is a faint sweetness when the entrance is in, and it smells a little osmanthus but does not have the slightest taste of wine, but once it strays into the bowels, it is like a spark burning the prairie and its momentum is unstoppable.

As soon as the words were spoken, Sinzaima regretted and said, "No, will that make the Dongji people think that we have nothing but wine?"

"Don't be so nervous. Guina, who was on the side, patted Sinzaima on the shoulder and motioned for her to relax. In the past few days, in order to enter the city before the arrival of the Xia Kingdom Blood Tiger Cavalry, everyone has hardly rested. Regarding these things about Lile, Gu Yina didn't say anything, but silently looked at Yun Fan, who was in thought: "The prince has his own thoughts. ”

At this time, three night crows with wings waving in the distance appeared on the canopy of Bright Moon City. Night Ravens are messengers used by Mexico to deliver information, and they are usually only active at night, and rarely appear during the day, unless something big happens.

Yun Fan, who was still pondering one moment ago, completed the action of drawing the knife and returning it to the sheath at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye at the next moment. The flying night crows were the first to see the majestic killing intent approaching them at the speed of the wind, and tried to speed up the frequency of their wings, and scattered in all directions. It is said that the night crows are very fast in the wind, but in the face of the unsheathed Heavenly Fangs, their speed is still too slow!

The blood-black long knife killed the night crow with knife energy in full view of everyone. The blood-like streamer lingered with black sword qi, directly turning the few night crows who tried to leave Bright Moon City into blood mist in an instant, and causing a scene of shattering the sky that was visible to the naked eye to a certain extent.

It stands to reason that as a martial artist who is in the early stage of the tenth order, Yun Fan can't kill the enemy for thousands of miles with sword qi at all, this is a deterrent that can only be cast when he enters the "Realm of Mental Martial Arts"! But there is also a situation, that is, this kind of primeval divine weapon similar to the Heavenly Vertical Tooth recognizes the holder as the main one, so the holder can squander a little bit of the terrifying power that this kind of divine weapon gives them in advance before reaching the "Realm of Mental Martial Arts", but the power of the charity is only a little after all, and it cannot be compared with the real power that is cast after reaching the realm of mental martial arts!

Many onlookers were in an uproar because of Yun Fan's knife! Many people thought that it was the prince of the Sa Department who entered the city this time, but they did not know that the prince of the Sa Department was the prince who had been missing for many years. Although Yun Fan used his sword qi to kill the night crow used by the Mo Kingdom to transmit information, which attracted everyone's attention, he looked down on it at all because of the distance.

It is difficult for ordinary people to connect this prince of the Sa tribe with the prince who has been missing for many years, two people with completely different statuses in a short period of time. After all, in the eyes of all the people of the Ji Dynasty, the Beilu people were uncivilized barbarians, and they were noble people of the Ji Dynasty.

Some people looked embarrassed and at a loss when they saw this prince swing his sword to shatter the sky, some people were stunned and didn't know what had just happened, and some people thought that the person wielding the knife was a peerless powerhouse who had entered the "realm of heart and martial arts"! They came to help Shuguo regain the lost territory, so they worshipped him one after another, causing the scene to be a little chaotic for a while.

This is the first highlight moment of the heavenly longitudinal teeth sleeping in the dust of time in the eyes of the world. Neither Gu Yina nor Xin Zaima thought that Yun Fan would suddenly pull out his heavenly teeth at this time, just like he didn't know that the night crows of the Mo Kingdom would dare to wander unscrupulously in Mingyue City, the capital of the Su Kingdom that had just finished fighting with them, during the day.

Bathed in this unexpected uproar, Xin Zaima was still waiting for Yun Fan's reply. When Yun Fan gathered his scattered thoughts, his deep gaze met with the curiosity in Xin Zaima's eyes, Xin Zaima, who did not give up, immediately continued the unfinished topic just now, and asked tentatively to the end: "So, in the eyes of the prince, what gift should we give to the lord of the country." ”

Flags emblazoned with red flames fluttered in the wind. The samurai in heavy armor marched slowly through the city of Bright Moon amid the discussion and worship of the onlookers.

Yun Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"An army. ”

At this time, in this Bright Moon City, 5,614 warriors dressed in black and blue heavy armor, after more than 20 years, are walking majestically on the land of the Ji Dynasty. There is no better gift in the world than this, and it is worth letting Yun Fan dedicate it to his noble sister.

Between the words, he stretched out his right hand, which was full of scars, and gently stroked the forehead hair of the white wolf under the seat, and the afterglow fell on the wine flag of "Heartfelt Restaurant" swaying in the wind not far away. With the smell of wine on his face, Yun Fan suddenly recalled the days when he was a teenager, and he often drank and ate meat in this restaurant with two or three friends.

And these memories all returned to reality in a wolf howl that shocked everyone. In the past, the prince of the country, who had been away from home for many years, immediately collected the vicissitudes in his eyes, and under the gaze of everyone, he drove the legendary "bloody eyes and frost hooves" and officially appeared.

Originally, the people who were just coming to see the excitement also saw clearly at this moment that the leader of the Sa tribe who came from afar was actually their prince Yunfan, who had been missing for many years, and the already chaotic scene exploded again in an instant. For Yun Fan's return, the people of the Shu Kingdom showed different reactions at this moment. Some shouted his name in the streets and hailed his return, while others cursed at him loudly, not caring if he would be arrested by the soldiers in charge of maintaining order.

A few people looked a little abnormal when they saw Yun Fan's return, and after repeatedly confirming that the person was Yun Fan, this group of people with abnormal expressions took advantage of the crowd that was already a little out of control at this time, and secretly left silently, and disappeared after only a moment.

These fine works from other countries have been lurking in Mingyue City since Yun Fan left the dream country. They are good at camouflage and hide in the market. Soon, the news of Yun Fan's return will spread through them throughout the east and west, and the kingdom of the heavens.
