One Hundred and Three Acts [Cassia in Ink]

October 17, evening.

The sky was overcast, and the wind was rolling over the clouds.

The man, dressed in a robe with a blood-colored night crow totem, sat alone on his throne, as if waiting for something. The night crow is the family crest totem of the Moyi clan of the Mo royal family. Night crows of different colors represent different meanings.

Colors aside, the totem of "night crow" actually has the meaning of "omniscient" in Mexico. However, the blood-colored night crow only has the meaning of "revenge".

Beside her, a delicate woman leaned on the armrest of the throne like a snake. The scarlet eyes quietly looked at the lonely man on the throne here, and there was both pity and adoration in his eyes.

The palace maids on both sides of the main hall held jade plates full of fresh fruits, and they did not dare to look up. Most of these fruits presented in jade plates come from Xiji. There are dragon armor grapes from Sanchuan Kingdom, true dragon fruits from Tianwu Kingdom, and pine chestnuts from Hanyue Kingdom, all of which are Moyi Cassia Ming's favorite fruits.

However, looking at his restless appearance now, he shouldn't have much interest in eating it. Even if the woman at the throne removed the hard shells of these rare fruits for him and brought the flesh to his mouth, the man did not move.

A moment later, a palace man stumbled into the palace. The woman coiled around the throne slowly rose and stood on the side of the throne. The atmosphere that had been silent was broken at this moment. Sitting alone on the throne, Cassia Moyi slowly raised his eyes: "What's the matter, so flustered?"

The palace man first bowed to the ground, and then held the envelope above his head, holding it in both hands: "Qi Qi Lord, the front line has sent an urgent report! General Chongya captured the Chinese thief Yun Fan alive last night! He is currently being imprisoned in the water prison of Dianxing City, waiting for the lord of the country to be released!"

Next to the throne, the beautiful woman looked surprised when she heard the news. As soon as the palace man's words fell, he saw the sleepy man on the throne, and instantly fell asleep and was full of energy: "Hurry up, present it to me!"

Subsequently, the palace people presented the letter.

The man couldn't wait to open the letter and read it word by word, which was written by Mo Yi and Chongya and stamped with the seal of General Huwei. The solemn look turned overjoyed, and Moyi Cassia couldn't suppress his excitement: "God help me, God really help me!"

After taking the letter from Cassia Moyi's hand and reading it, the woman on the side frowned, but showed a puzzled look. The ink-clothed cassia on the throne didn't notice the change in the ink-clothed frost's demeanor, and just said to himself: "In this way, the Shu Kingdom is the end of the strong crossbow, and we can concentrate on dealing with the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom in the future!"

After reading the letter, Moyi Hanshuang put it away and sent the palace people and maids back to the palace, leaving Moyi Cassia and her two to guard this lonely throne. After seeing this scene, Moyi Cassia gradually smiled, and asked the woman next to him, "What's wrong, Frost?"

Moyi Hanshuang hesitated for a moment, and asked Moyi Cassia Ming: "The four killers under my command have not heard from me since they went to the country of dreams, and their life and death are still uncertain, and Yun Fan first made trouble in Tianqiong City, and then it was rumored that he had appeared in the imperial capital, and now he appeared in Jibei again, don't you think there is something strange about this?"

Mo Yi thought clearly: "You mean, Heavy Tooth may have caught the wrong person?"

Moyi Hanshuang: "I can't rule out this possibility, but since Chongya said that he has caught Yun Fan, whether he has caught it wrong or not, he would rather kill by mistake than let it go." ”

Mo Yi Cassia thought for a while: "That makes sense, then I will repair the book with him later, directly behead this Yun Fan, and then send the head back to confirm whether it is the deity." ”

Ink Frost: "Killing it directly can't relieve your anger, it's better to kill it first and then kill it, how about my brother?"

Ink Cassia showed an evil smile: "Wonderful!"

As soon as the words fell, another palace person stumbled into this deep and cold palace, Mo Yi Cassia raised his eyes to see that it was still the palace person just now, and asked, "What happened again, so panicked?"

This time, the palace man fell directly in the middle of the main hall, and said with tears in his eyes: "Returning to the lord of the country, since this afternoon, for some reason, there is a strong smell of blood in the water of the Moyu River, and in the evening, the river water is dyed blood, and there are broken limbs and wreckage drifting across the border one after another, look at his clothes should be ......."

Speaking of this, the palace people didn't dare to say any more.

Seeing this, Moyi Cassia angrily reprimanded: "Say!"

Gong Ren: "According to the investigation and analysis of the Zhenfu Division, those corpses are very likely to be the people of our Mo country, in addition to many residents along the river after drinking the water of the Moyu River, they have developed symptoms of discomfort one after another. ”

After hearing this, Moyi Cianming frowned: "How many such corpses have been found so far?"

The palace people trembled and said: "There are countless of them, according to the current situation, if they are not cleaned up, it is very likely to block the river." ”

After hearing this, Moyi Hanshuang said to himself in confusion: "There are enough corpses to block the river, what happened to the upper reaches of the Moyu River, and how many died." ”

Moyi Cassia Ming: "Has the Zhenfu Division found out where the source of these corpses is drifting?"

The palace man trembled and said, "It's still under investigation." ”

Ink Frost beside him then asked Ink Cassia Ming, "Is there anything else?"

But he listened to the palace man continue: "The 30,000 Blood Feather Night Ravens sent by the Lord of the Kingdom to support the three cities of Jibei have arrived in Jibei, and it is expected that they will transit in Dianxing City in five days and join General Moyi Chongya. ”

After hearing this, the ink clothes and frost waved his sleeves to signal the palace people to retreat.

In the empty palace, once again, only the two brothers and sisters of Cassia and Frost were left. The originally overjoyed Moyi Cassia frowned solemnly again, and the Moyi Hanshuang on the side said with concern: "What is my brother thinking at the moment." ”

Moyi Cassia said worriedly, "I'm wondering where the source of these corpses is. ”

Frost in Ink Clothes: "These corpses were either thrown down the middle of the Ink Rain River, or thrown upstream. The river was stained blood-stained, and the corpses that drifted in one after another were enough to block the river, and some people had developed symptoms after drinking the river water, presumably because the corpses had polluted the river water in the process of decaying. ”

Moyi Cassia said: "The Moyu River is a branch of the Dengtian River, and the Dengtian River passes through the Dianxing City, and the Dianxing City and the Dengtian River are both in the upper reaches of the Moyu River. Last night, Mo Yi and heavy teeth just won Yun Fan, which is a bit too coincidental. ”

"The distance from Dianxing City to our national capital, counting the flow speed of the Moyu River, unless someone slaughters the city there early this morning, it is impossible to ......" Between the words, Moyi Hanshuang said with some concern, "Brother is worried, this matter is inseparable from Yun Fan, right?"

Cassia Moyi: "It's too coincidental. ”

Moyi Frost: "Indeed, but I heard that the palace people just reported that soon the Blood Feather Night Raven sent by my brother to support the three cities of Jibei is about to meet with Chongya in Dianxing City, and at that time, I think General Han Zhao, who leads the army, will report to my brother on the timely itinerary as soon as he arrives, and whether there will be anything wrong." ”

The Night Raven Army of Mexico is divided into four categories: blood, black, purple, and white. If you use the flower feather on the top to show the combat power of the military rank. Most of the skills of the White Feather Night Raven are at the early level of the Eighth Order, the Purple Feather Night Raven is the peak of the Eighth Order, and the members of the Black Feather Night Raven are basically the ninth order entry, as for the rumored Blood Feather Night Crow, it is said that each has the peak skills of the ninth order. Most of the Blood Feather Night Ravens were formed by retired killers from the famous killer organization "Ghost Fire". They have the most extensive assassination experience and the most sophisticated combat skills.

Some scholars believe that the Blood Feather Night Raven of the Mo Kingdom can be compared to the Mingguang Armor of the Shuguo Kingdom, but when the Blood Feather Night Raven became famous in Dongji, the Mingguang Armor of the former Shuguo has long been in the past in the "Mingguang Change", until now, Yun Fan has returned.

Moyi Cassia was worried, picked up the letter of merit that had just overjoyed him from Moyi Hanshuang's hand, and read it word by word again, and Moyi Hanshuang on the side comforted: "At present, before the news of General Hanzhao comes back, we still wait for the results of the investigation of the Zhenfu Division to come out for the time being. ”

Between the words, Moyi Cassia put away the letter and looked at Moyi Hanshuang with a solemn expression: "Since the capture of the three cities of Jibei, I have let the Black Feather Night Raven be stationed in Dianxing City, which is known as the "Land of Five Wars", and the White Feather Night Raven is stationed in Liuyun City, which has frequent exchanges, and ordered the Purple Feather Night Raven to guard in Yaoguang City, which is enough to contain the entire Jibei. However, with the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country, I transferred the Black Feather Night Raven, who originally guarded the "Land of the Five Battles", to Yaoguang City, then transferred the Purple Feather Night Raven to Liuyun City, and finally let the White Feather Night Raven guard Dianxing City. ”

Frost in Ink was puzzled: "Frost thinks that there is nothing wrong with my brother doing this. If the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom invades Jibei and targets us, then Yaoguang City will inevitably become the primary target of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom, so it is not too much of a problem for the elder brother to order the Black Feather Night Raven to guard Yaoguang, including the next change of guard. After all, just in case, the elder brother had already sent the Blood Feather Night Raven to reinforce him, but what made Frost a little incomprehensible was that now that the big war was imminent, why did the elder brother suddenly replace Xuanmo Wufeng and let Chongya take over as the city lord of Dian Star City. ”

Mo Yi Cassia explained: "Because, with Xuanmo Wufeng's talent, Yaoguang City needs him even more at this moment. Now Han Zhao, who is rushing to the aid of the three cities of Jibei, is the best killer under your command, and it is said that he has already entered the "realm of heart and martial arts", I originally planned to wait for Han Zhao and Xuanmo Wufeng to join in Dianxing City, let 10,000 blood feather night crows and the nearly 30,000 white feather night crows be stationed in Dianxing, and let Han Zhao and Wufeng take the remaining 20,000 horses to Yaoguang City together, and then avoid the Thousand Thunder Kingdom from taking away the three cities of Jibei from our hands with the momentum of burning the plains. ”

Ink Frost: "If I'm not mistaken, those white-feathered night crows stationed in Dian Star City now don't have many veterans, right?"

Moyi Cassia Ming: "Most of the current white-feathered night crows are recruits, and there are not many veterans left. In our second war with the Shu Kingdom, among the four-colored night crows, the white-feathered night crows suffered the heaviest casualties. Although the personnel of the White Feather Night Raven have been replenished now, they are all recruits who have no actual combat experience, although I am very relieved that Xuanmo Wufeng will train them, but the training is still very different from the real war after all. And that's what worries me. ”

Ink Frost thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "If someone launches a surprise attack on Dian Star City at this time, wouldn't that be ......?"

Mo Yi Cassia said worriedly: "It is equivalent to our Mo Kingdom giving away this Star City. ”

Ink Frost: "Dian Xing City is the land of the five wars, when Han Zhao arrives, leave 10,000 blood feather night crows to cooperate with nearly 30,000 white feather night crows to garrison, and then hand over to the black clothes and heavy teeth to control, will it still look a little thin." ”

Moyi Cassia said: "Do you think that the troops are not enough, or do you think that the ability of heavy teeth is not enough?" ”

Mo Yi Hanshuang didn't think twice and said bluntly: "I don't think either is enough." ”

Moyi Cassia explained: "These 30,000 Blood Feather Night Ravens are just the vanguard reinforcements. Since the end of the battle with the Shu Kingdom, I have transferred the Blood Feather Night Raven back to the national capital to serve as the forbidden army of our Moyi Clan, responsible for the garrison of the capital. 100,000 Blood Feather Night Crows, if all of them are thrown into the battlefield before the war is burned, it is really a bit of a luxury. ”

Frost in Ink Clothes: "So, brother is waiting?"

Moyi Cassia said: "No, I'm just afraid that someone will stab us in the back at this time." ”

......

October 17, evening.

Shuguo, Mirror Moon City, Land Garden.

Lu Weiwen and Bu Weilan met for the first time.

Historically known as the "Cloud Fox Meeting".

At the same time, the dream country is in Star City.

After recovering Star City, Yun Fan did not transmit the news back to the Kingdom of Shu for the first time. He wanted to tell Yun Ji this news as a surprise, but it wasn't until he learned from the mouth of the heavy teeth of the ink clothes that the ink clothes had sent 30,000 blood feather night crows, and they were about to arrive in the point star city for transit, and then rushed to the city of Yaoguang and the city of flowing clouds, Yun Fan, who wanted to relax, tensed his muscles again.

Based on available information, it is expected that the Bloodfeather Night Ravens will arrive around October 19, two days later. This made Yun Fan, who originally planned to leave some of the Mingguang Armor after recapturing Dian Star City, and then transfer three thousand armor Chiyan warriors to assist in the defense, had to temporarily change his plan.

The Red Warrior is heavily armored and can attack and defend, but his movement speed is too slow. If Yun Fan reported this news and ordered the Chiyan Warriors to rush to help, two days would not be enough for the Chiyan Warriors to arrive at Dianxing City in time, and it would most likely cause the garrison of Bright Moon City to be empty.

And the rangers of the Sabu are best at guerrilla and harvesting, and they are not qualified for the task of defending the city. In terms of time, two days is enough time for the Sa Rangers to arrive, but when they arrive, it is estimated that Yun Fan will be almost wiped out by the Blood Feather Night Crow.

In the "land of five wars" like Dianxing City, which is mainly mountainous, it is not wise to send the soldiers of the Sa Department to come to the rescue, and it is very easy to alarm the forces of other countries lurking in the Su Kingdom, and when the news of the recovery of the Dian Star City by Yun Fan spreads too early, it will do more harm than good to the Shu Kingdom.

As for the Frost Sword, Yun Fan couldn't shout.

Why? because of the clan? No!

Because the commander of the three divisions of the frost sword is Lian Mu.

At the moment, the outside world doesn't know that Dian Star City has been lost. As soon as he captured Dian Xing City, Yun Fan blocked all the news, although there is no impermeable wall in this world, but in the short term, it is difficult for Mo Yi Cassia to detect that Dian Xing City has fallen, after all, all the energy of the Mo Kingdom is basically focused on the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom at present.

However, when Yun Fan attacked Star City at night with Mingguang Armor, Xuanmo Wufeng lit the wolf smoke, but because the night was thick and the evening wind was blowing north, it was extinguished by Yun Fan in time, so not too many people saw it.

However, I don't know if it was a coincidence or a routine greeting, on the afternoon of October 17, Yun Fan, who was stationed in Dian Star City, still received an inquiry from Yaoguang City and Liuyun City. Fortunately, after capturing Dian Xing City, Yun Fan did not kill Mo Yi and Heavy Teeth, otherwise these problems would not be easy to solve.

In the end, Yun Fan asked Mo Yi to reply to the letter as soon as possible, and sent these flying Night Raven Birds, thus alleviating the worries from the neighboring Second Cities that the Point Star City had fallen. If those two cities sent scouts to investigate, perhaps Yun Fan would face a siege by all the Mexican armies in Jibei next.

It's a pity that providence trumps human will.

As for the exiled Mexicans?

When Yun Fan was in exile, he cut out their tongues, poked them blind, and then exiled them in the direction of Bright Moon City. Of course, Yun Fan didn't let anyone other than him and Mingguang Kai know about this matter.

What's even more cruel is that Yun Fan tied these people's hands behind a long-cherished war horse, and let Mo Yi deceive them that this is the war horse of the Mexican country, and then use the method of "old horses to know the way" to take them "home". Yun Fan didn't prepare dry food for them, but tied a sharp and poisonous dagger to each of them's ankles.

Loss of light, loss of direction, loss of speech.

Hunger will kill a group of people first,

Then came suspicion and betrayal,

In the end, no one will survive.

Although those exiled Mexican people did not maliciously hurt the people of the country, in Yun Fan's eyes, since they came to the wrong place, it was equivalent to having made a choice, so adults naturally had to pay the price for their actions. And Yun Fan's behavior also laid a profound foreshadowing for the resentment between the Mexican Kingdom and the Su Kingdom in the later story.

Right now, in the face of the upcoming Blood Feather Night Crow, after thinking about it again, Yun Fan planned to fight with only the two thousand armor of the bright light armor in the city. Yun Fan, who was originally going to return to his dream country after recovering Dian Star City, finally changed his mind and stayed in Dian Star City for the time being, until the crisis from the Mexican country was completely resolved.

In order to deal with the upcoming Blood Feather Night Crow, Yun Fan quickly formulated a countermeasure that would be used to solve the Blood Feather Night Crow according to the blood plan that Shen Menglong and Lu Qingshu had conspired with at the beginning.

At that time, the people of the Shuguo who were saved because of Yun Fan and temporarily lived in Dianxing City will cooperate with Yun Fan to perform a big play. Before that, they had to put on the costumes of the Mexican people, imitate the living customs of the Mexican people, and cooperate with Yun Fan to feast on 30,000 blood feather night crows to enter the Star City.

It was the night of October 17.

The two thousand armors of Bright Light Armor in Dianxing City all put on the armor of the white-feathered night crow, and raised the battle flag of the Mexican Kingdom again. During this time, the Bright Light Armor will help the Mingguang Armor clean up all traces left in the city, and then ensure that the time will not let the Blood Feather Night Ravens enter the city suspect them.

At this moment, Yun Fan was not in the City Lord's Mansion in Dianxing City. Instead, he stood on the city tower and joined many Mingguang armor to urge the prisoners of war of the Mexican Kingdom to repair the city wall damaged by Mingguang armor with "Shooting Wolf", and make full preparations for the upcoming war.

While thinking about it, Yun Fan's gaze gradually deepened.

From last night to now, he has not rested.

Not only Yun Fan, but most of the Mingguang armor also didn't have time to rest. But they are human beings after all, not iron, so Yun Fan let some people rest first, and when they have rested enough, they will change to the next batch. Many of the people who were liberated because of Yun Fan picked up their swords during this period and temporarily replaced Mingguang Armor as a garrison in exchange for them to rest.

And when the "Laughing Monarch Marquis" in Qin An's hand appeared in front of Yun Fan, Yun Fan gently punched Qin An's left shoulder: "Sleep comfortably, right?"

When Yun Fan said this, it made Qin An feel a little guilty at this moment: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept the young master waiting for a long time." ”

Yun Fan smiled, didn't care, just turned around: "If there is any movement in the city, remember to wake me up as soon as possible, you know?"

Qin An waved his hand: "No." ”

Between the words, Yun Fan smiled, his eyes gradually deepened, and turned to look at the northern sky, his expression gradually solemnized: "Hope, everything will go well next." ”
