Chapter 18: Swallowing the Dragon

The gates of Liangping City are wide open, and the entire city wall has obviously been rebuilt, and the general city wall design tends to be introverted, even if it is wide open, people standing outside the city will always not be able to see too much inside the city through the city gate. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but when the newly renovated city gate is wide open, it seems to show outsiders the operation of the city.

As soon as he rode into the city, the horseman saw that there was no bloody filth in the city before the city gate, but with his inertial consideration, he did not shake his impression of Liangping City after hearing the news - "purgatory on earth". He turned over and dismounted in the city, and the hand that had covered his mouth and nose for filth could not help but slowly lower, revealing his mouth that could not be closed in surprise. At this time, the place of presence is no different from the "visible" outside the city gate, as if "entering the city" is a superfluous thing, because what can be seen is the same whether it is inside or outside the city.

Just thinking about this, I suddenly heard a sentence: "Who are you looking for?"

He almost said, "I went to the wrong door." "That's it. After calming down and avoiding gaffes, he followed the prestige, and by the city gate, there was a small man leaning on him, wearing a set of clothes that did not fit very well, just like himself at this moment, accustomed to fighting and killing, and was suddenly asked to dress up as a scholar.

"This place ......" he wanted to ask about many things related to Liangping City. But seeing that the dwarf man had seen his intentions clearly, he replied one step ahead of him: "I have cleaned the dust here, buried the sorrow here by me, seen me justice here, and followed by Allah here." ”

This time he didn't know what to say, the incident had happened for a long time, and the Shengping Dynasty had not taken any action to deal with the aftermath of this Liangping City. It is only because of the busy affairs of the DPRK and China that he has repeatedly put it on hold until now, and if it were not for a temporary assignment of a task to visit him on the way, he would not have known that someone had already completed the obligations of the imperial court, or even wanted to monopolize it.

His mind was blank, and he couldn't think of declaring the Shengping Dynasty's sovereignty over the boundary of Liangping City in front of this dwarf man. Whoever this place belongs to, it is not that he has the right to point fingers anyway. He had a hunch that starting with the arrival of this short man, a new force would take root and sprout in this "purgatory on earth", which would be the complete opposite of the laziness and sluggishness of the imperial court, and would rush him to his horse and drive him out of this reborn Liangping City.

The last step of the transformation began after "he" left and ended quickly. Later visitors who arrive here can no longer find Liangping City, in front of the gate of Liangping City in the past, they will only see the three words "swallowing dragon mouth" on the city gate.

......

"Old bachelor, does he live in such a place?" Qi Wuwei asked. Considering that he had talked with the black man before, he learned that the mediocre man had a deep relationship with Xu Yuanjue, so he had no choice but to send the purple shirt away with the old bachelor and bring the old bachelor here.

The old bachelor sighed, "Alas!

Qi Wuwei couldn't help but be suspicious, "All the way over, I can't even see a single sweeping doorman, isn't he already gone?"

The old bachelor glanced at him, "It's all here, then you follow, I'll open the way!" The old bachelor swaggered and walked in front, there were no traps, no ambushes, no dangers along the way, so plainly in front of Xu Yuanjue, seeing the "shadow" standing behind Xu Yuanjue, Qi Wuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the only thing that caused the whole strange atmosphere to become strange in this scene seemed to be only missing a short table on the chairman.

"Senior, are you looking for me?" asked Xu Yuanjue first.

"No, no, no!" the old man waved his hand, "I'm here with this kid." He pointed at Qi Wuwei.

Xu Yuanjue's tone was still so high-minded, "Are you the iron palmer, what are you looking for me?" He asked so confidently that Qi Wuwei didn't know what to say, Qi Wuwei looked embarrassed, "In the next ...... It's being instructed. ”

"Who?"

"Imperial robes. ”

"Ahh

The old bachelor silently stood in front of Qi Wuwei, facing Xu Yuanjue, "Little Xu Yuanjue, do you really have a problem?"

Xu Yuanjue didn't bother to argue, he shouted: "Let me see and stop the martial arts today!" After speaking, he was about to rush over, but when he leaned forward, his center of gravity drooped to prepare for the charge, but he couldn't see that the "shadow" behind him had already shot at him, and his wide open palm hung above his body, he was full of momentum, but he couldn't seem to escape from this arm's length.

Qi Wuwei said eagerly: "Come on, old bachelor! he's going to kill him!" But the two of them saw and sensed the intention of the "shadow" to delay some time, and it took some time to react to this move, and Qi Wuwei had to do it himself as soon as this result flashed in his mind!

The old bachelor had already rushed towards Xu Yuanjue, only to hear Qi Wuwei's words, and then his eyes were dark, and when he looked at it again, Qi Wuwei had already landed in front of the "shadow", and was slapping his palm towards the chest of the "shadow", to prevent him from killing his mouth. I don't know how many moments this palm slowed down the "shadow", but it fell on the target at the same time as the palm of the "shadow".

There was a loud bang like thunder.

Xu Yuanjue's body rolled out a few feet away, and the ground actually changed shape and cracked in the section where he rolled, and his own situation was really no better than the ground. The "shadow" was still standing there, Qi Wuwei seemed to be able to hear his slight breathing, Qi Wuwei's hand was still on his chest, and at this moment there was a depression that matched the shape of Qi Wuwei's hand, Qi Wuwei did not hurry to withdraw his hand, and first raised his other hand to take off the mask of "shadow".

"Nine times out of ten, this is the real Xu Yuanjue. Qi Wuwei said.

Unexpectedly, he fell on his own because of the upheaval of his face. The old bachelor sighed. The faces that appeared in the eyes of the two of them were terrifying and indescribable, but even if they had never seen such faces burned by fire, their first reaction was that the change was caused by the fire.

"Do you see that palm he made, which is stronger or weaker than my palm?" Qi Wuwei asked while standing still.

The old bachelor didn't want to think about it and said, "You're stronger." ”

"Oh?"

The old bachelor sighed: "I believe that he must have tried to kill himself more than once, but his muscles and muscles are so strong that they exceed his own strength. And you are enough to help him, and he must be grateful to you. ”

With a slight force, Qi Wuwei withdrew his palm and nodded to the old bachelor with joy, losing the support of Qi Wuwei's palm, and the "shadow" fell on his back.

"Jing Xie's life is under threat from the prison capital, fortunately he is in good health, you can help me carry him to Jing Xie, it may be useful to him. Qi Wuwei said, and was about to turn around and leave.

"You...... Are you hurt?" asked the old bachelor.

"Hmm? No. ”

"Is that because you don't have long hands?"

"Haha! Qi has no power to restrain the chicken, it is useless, and he has to rely on your old gang for help!"

......

Qi Wuwei's face was gloomy, but he couldn't see the use of Jing Xie's actions at this time.

Jing Xie was holding a burning candle and was using the flame to roast the palm of the "shadow".

Qi Wuwei couldn't help but ask, "I said, Doctor Jing, isn't this your means of curing diseases and saving people?"

Jing Xie ignored him, and just kept roasting it for a while. Qi Wuwei couldn't bear it anymore, "You, tell me, can I help you by bringing him back?" I have other important things to deal with, don't worry about useless things!"

"Who's struggling with useless things? You put aside your prejudices and think about what's wrong?"

"Hey, aren't you the biggest anomaly, Doctor Jing?" Qi Wuwei said.

"Oh, do you think I'm roasting like this, can't the pork paw be roasted?"

Qi Wuwei said casually: "Cut! It's already scorched." His face changed when he finished speaking. The palm of that hand did not drip a few drops of oil under the fire like ordinary meat, and the color of flesh and blood did not change at all. Looking at the terrifying face of the "shadow" again, it did not become more hideous because of this fire, and even the faint breath did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Qi Wuwei already knew that he had caught the wrong person in a flash, because in the face of a person who knew both Qi Wuwei and Jing Xie, Jing Xie didn't have to roast that person's hand to show him.

He ...... Who the hell is he?"

Jing Xie said slowly: "Alas, his name is Wang Quan, he is originally a person from the prison capital, and he is also a real man who has walked with me in the lonely city of wind and fire, and he looks dignified and majestic! Standing shirtless, the wind and fire have never hurt him a single hair. ”

"And what ...... was he subjected to?"

Jing Xie looked sad and couldn't answer.

The rest of the conclusion hardly needs to be thought about by Qi Wuwei, Jing Xie had been with Wang Quan and other lonely people day and night, so he knew his skills, and being able to recognize this unrecognizable royal power means that he should have experienced a disaster with Wang Quan, and even saved Wang Quan's life. This royal power harbored hatred for the prison capital and gratitude for Jing Xie, but was used by the real Xu Yuanjue to kill his mouth and replace the dead ghosts.

"Doctor Jing...... Can you still heal his wounds?"

Jing Xie shook his head, "Although his body is not easy to be injured, any external injury will be more difficult to heal, and if it hurts the muscles and bones, it will inevitably be disabled, hurt the arteries, and there will be no surgery." ”

"I ...... I'm going to see Canghui next. Qi Wuwei said.

"Good, good. I was going to tell you to do this, but I didn't want you to be very far-sighted. Jing Xie said, Qi Wuwei felt that he might be a little alienated from himself because of this matter of royal power.

Qi Wuwei walked out silently, and everything he wanted to say had been said. As soon as he walked out of the "magic cave" with the old bachelor, he saw black smoke rising from a courtyard not far away, and when he got closer, although it had been extinguished by his neighbors in time, he still left a corpse that had been burned beyond recognition. Qi Wuwei recognized the small piece of clothing leftovers, but he knew the fate of Yan Yun's belonging, and many things were caught off guard, just like he didn't know that he would break his trust with many powerful people in Zhongzhou.

But at this time, he can only ignite a heart refining and continue this hard journey.

......

The two horses galloped along a wide avenue, and suddenly stepped on a meadow, and after a short journey, one stopped his mount, and the other had to stop.

"Master?" the man who stopped turned back to express his bewilderment.

"Zichao, you almost violated the law of the two countries in one step. Said the first stopper.

"Huh?" Zi Chao was still puzzled, he didn't know what the mystery of this meadow was.

The one who stopped first rode up to him, "If I hadn't stopped first, you would have crossed the border in one step." The first to stop pointed to the front hooves of the mount, "If that time comes, not only will I give you up, but I will definitely not intercede for you." ”

Zichao looked down, although it was all on the grass, but he could see that due to the different colors of the grass, there was a line in the middle that stretched to both sides. Zichao looked at the first stopper, and actually laughed: "Hahahahaha! Divide the territory with grass color, this is a childish trick we have used for many years! When I come back here, I will bring back one...... What's that called...... That grass will be planted in the ground, and it won't take three days for it to become our territory!"

The first to stop smiled and said: "In the past, when our Anlu Kingdom implemented the grass color division method, the nobles always wanted to invade the land of the common people in a different way, so they asked some doctors and wizards who had not done anything for a long time to develop a new grass, so that if this grass takes root, slowly a piece of grass will become only this kind of grass, and people call the grass 'Wild Overlord'." But I have to admit that using the "Wild Overlord" is indeed more reasonable than directly spilling fuel on the ground, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! It's the 'Wild Overlord'!"

The smile of the first person to stop did not change, "But now, we have to do one thing first, let this horse turn around, otherwise people will find out, and we must behead our two beloved horses!"

Zi Chao saw that although the horse's hooves had not passed, the horse's head had already crossed the line, so he turned the horse's head and said, "I have won this 'wild overlord'!"

The two waited for a long time before they saw a rider riding on the side of the Shengping Dynasty in the distance, coming along the border.

The person who came dismounted and bowed: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Shengping Dynasty, I welcome the arrival of the two distinguished guests." ”

The one who stopped first dismounted and saluted back: "Haven't you asked Your Excellency ......?" As soon as he got off the horse, Zichao had to dismount.

The person replied: "Under the surname Yang, the cheap name does not disturb the ears." ”

The first to stop immediately exclaimed, "Fortunately, General Yang!"

General Yang was immediately stunned, "Your Excellency, how can you see my identity?" The first person to stop said with a smile: "This civil official costume is really very inappropriate to wear on Your Excellency. After listening to the analysis of the first stopper, and looking at General Yang's reaction, the fact was almost the same, Zi Chao only looked disgusted, as if he felt that this was just a military attache to greet him was insulting the identity of the first stopper.

General Yang asked, "Can you guess your identity, the identity of the distinguished guest has not been mentioned in the previous correspondence between these two countries?" These few words of conversation have completely drained the fire he had nested before.

"Then please come and see the general!" said the first stopper.

"Guest, you...... Could it be that he is also a general?" General Yang guessed.

"Hahaha......" the first stopper laughed. Zi Chao couldn't hold back his anger either, "You! What are you talking about? My lord is one of the four great kings of our country, and under one person, the four of them are equally famous above tens of thousands of people! What is the name of an ordinary military attache who dares to climb high?"

King Xun Zun waved his hand to stop him, and then saluted General Yang and said with a smile: "General Mo is strange, his name is in the banner dynasty, and there is no real position in the court, because his father used to work for me, I promised to let him see the world with me as a follower, but who knows that this little beast does not want to fight for his master's face, but instead ********fights with the dog, and loses face to me, and I am also very troubled! hahahaha......" The words made the flag face embarrassed, and turned his back, "Tell the general the truth, this' The word 'general' is really incomparably noble in my eyes! The story of every general deserves to be made a separate biography for future generations to admire!"

General Yang saluted deeply, "Lord Wang, you are really famous! If there is a warrior like the Zichao brothers with him, it is better than thousands of troops and horses waiting to be sent! In the next is a nobody, here is just to not let the prince remember a few more points during the journey, the real greeting of the prince, is the prince of Xuning Mansion, but unfortunately the Xuning Mansion is not between the line between Khotan and Zhongzhou, so I have to let the prince of Xuning wait in Zhongzhou, Xuning Mansion is adjacent to the country of the Sun, the war is not in harmony for many years, the towns in the territory are mostly important towns and fortresses, and the prince is also the brother and brother of His Majesty the Emperor. He is the real welcomer, worthy of the prince's welcome!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" said King Xun Zun as he saluted in the direction of Zhongzhou.

Qizichao complained but had to salute, "Okay! Thank you so much!"

General Yang was going to take the two visitors to Zhongzhou, and most of the polite words that should be said along the way were in place when they first met, but when they arrived in Liangping City, somehow, they really used the words "ghosts make gods", General Yang suddenly asked solemnly: "Lord Wang, do you know why you want me to be the first to greet me?"

When King Xun Zun was on his way, he had lost his mind for a while, so he asked him to speak again, and when General Yang finished speaking again, King Xun Zun replied, "This is ...... Didn't the general already say that?"

"Well, that's not the reason!," said General Yang, "because most of the people around here who can be called 'generals' are people who have a grudge against your country, except for me." ”

King Xun Zun seemed a little puzzled: "Our war has long stopped!"

General Yang was a little helpless, "But the conflict on the border has never been broken! Just like a few days ago, a few gangsters from your country came to our country and threatened to turn all the grasslands on the border into his family's territory with some 'wild overlord', and our soldiers immediately arrested and executed them and informed your country. These are all very 'peaceful' things, and there are also large-scale conflicts, and even 'blood feuds' occur. He looked beyond the trembling banner and looked at Liangping City.

King Xun Zun looked at him, his face gloomy, "Is that Liangping City?" Although I am not in the frontier, I have heard about it, and I will solemnly tell the general and any of the people of the previous dynasty that this matter was not done by our country, nor by our people. ”

But everyone who has an enemy of your country will firmly believe that your country has done it, and will try to convince others of this answer. ”

Listening to him, his eyes wandered on the wall of Liangping, and he accidentally explored the city gate, and clearly saw at a glance that there seemed to be many soldiers in the city, and they were doing the same action together, they raised their hands, and suddenly cut off their hands like knives,

"Kill!"

A scream was deafening. King Xun Zun couldn't help but associate himself, the group of soldiers who were training, with what happened in Liangping City, and in a trance, he was unstable and actually fell off his horse. Qizichao hurriedly ran over and helped him up.

"This ...... How could this be?...... "King Xunzun's mouth was slurred, as if he was stupid by the scene in the city.

General Yang shouted over and over again: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid! They are not aimed at you!"

When King Xun Zun looked again, he found that what was written on the city gate was not Liangping City, but the mouth of the swallowing dragon. "Dragon?" said King Xun Zun, puzzled, "Why is there such a group of soldiers who are dressed differently from the soldiers of the previous dynasty, they are well-trained, and they are aimed at the 'dragon'?" General Yang and Qizichao helped him back to his horse, and General Yang said: "Lord Wang, this disaster in Liangping City is a harbinger of the catastrophe of our dynasty's national fortune!"

The outsider, who was not a member of the Shengping Dynasty, had accepted this fact, and in turn enlightened General Yang and said: "Don't be afraid, general, don't be afraid!
