Chapter Twenty-Three: Wu Yucheng

"You're welcome. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Zhu Jiuhong said.

In this way, I took the train for a day and a night, stopping at more than a dozen stations along the way. Of course, there were only about 3 toll nodes, and finally the train finally came to the edge of Tianqiong Province.

Outside the car window. Through the glass, you can clearly see that the endless plain is cut in half by a bottomless river, half a swamp covered with blue reed-like plants, and half a huge city with two lips and teeth connected to each other.

The name of the city is Kureha Castle. The city gate of Kureyu is hung with a plaque of "Kureyu", and there are only a few guards on the city wall, and it is noon, which is the time when the cooking smoke is lit, but none of the cooking smoke is lit in the city. In the past, there should have been an endless stream of convoys passing by, but now the city gate is closed, and the soldiers' faces are solemn. The whole city is covered with a sinister breath, and it is about to explode.

Several people got off the bus in such a Wu Yu city.

Because going to Sky City, this is one of the important passageways.

Cheerless. The vegetation in the city has long since yellowed and withered, and it is late autumn, and one or two snowflakes have begun to fall.

The large drawbridge in front of the city gate is pulled up high, and you can see the cold light of the iron thorns on the suspension bridge. A few soldiers were looking this way, and a small team leader gave a few words to the soldiers, and then lowered the drawbridge.

As soon as they got off the train, a few thick soldiers with psychic spears in their hands ran over. These soldiers surrounded everyone with spears, and most of them looked nervous, and at this time, even Cai Huji, who had always been very arrogant, did not dare to speak casually.

Only the third uncle was present, but he didn't care, standing at the back of the team as if he was watching a play, obviously not ready to help.

Qiao Jing frowned. The strength in the body is mobilized, and he is ready to fight at any time.

"Who are you?" asked one of the soldiers, who was a little darker in his clothes.

"We're just students from the Heavenly Dome Province passing by!," said Liubo, who looked the oldest of the men, as he took out his credentials and showed them to the soldiers.

The soldier nodded, then looked at Qiao Jing and them. "What about you?"

"They're just like me!"

"So are we!" Qiao Jing and the others quickly took out their credentials.

"Wait a minute. The soldier's expression softened slightly, and then he carefully examined the credentials one by one. Then he nodded and trotted all the way back. The psychic spears of the rest of the soldiers were still not put away, and they were all strictly guarded.

"What's going on?Zhao Xingdou?" Cai Huji asked in a low voice. Qiao Jing also opened her ears, it was obviously not normal for these soldiers to behave like this.

"Wu Yu City does not belong to the divine forces, nor is it a noble pilot, so the land is not protected. Zhao Xingdou said succinctly.

"So, now I'm afraid that there will be a war here!" added Liubo. "Although they don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary to us, it's better for us to be patient, Hades is easy to escape!"

While Lyubor was talking, the soldier who trotted back said a few words in front of the man in the squad leader's clothes, and then pointed his hand in this direction. I saw the squad leader beckoning to this side. Qiao Jing and the soldiers in front of them all took their weapons back, and one of them said: "Your suspicion has been eliminated! Come with us! Don't misunderstand!"

"Don't worry, big brother soldier, we are all students and are very law-abiding!" Liu Bo said. The soldier nodded to Liu Bo, clenched his fists and said, "I offended a lot just now!" Qiao Jing could see that the soldier's fingers were thick and thick, with thick calluses on them.

The crowd followed the soldiers across the large drawbridge, which had just been lowered and was already wet with waves. As the team Qiao Jing even looked under the bridge, he saw that the water of this big river was turbid, the waves were rolling, there were some white traces of slow freezing on the riverside, and the mud-colored water was panting and could even beat some ice chips onto the suspension bridge.

When he came to the squad leader, the squad leader waved his hand, and several soldiers worked together to pull up the big drawbridge.

In the crunch of pulling up the big drawbridge, the team leader tried his best to make his expression soft and asked, "Which Sky City are you students going to?"

"The City of the Sun. Zhao Xingdou said.

"Where are you from?"

"Some countryman!"

"And what big names in your family are in Sunrise City?" the team leader asked.

"My uncle is Zhao Qian!The position should be 7 stars!" Zhao Xingdou replied.

"Oh, then bring me your credentials and show them!" said the team leader.

What should be checked still has to be checked, and several people also took out their own credentials again.

The team leader looked at them one by one, and also touched them with his hands, and found that it was indeed an imitable magic certificate.

"Well, you guys wait a minute, I'll report to the city lord!" said the team leader. He handed over command to a soldier with a calm face, and then entered the city himself through the small gate.

The gate of the main hall on the city gate was closed, and all the civil and military generals gathered together, and the people on the main seat were contemplative, cold and calm, only the sound of two charcoal fires crackling and burning at the door. There was a shivering child standing next to the main seat, and it looked similar to the person in the main seat 7 points, probably a younger brother and nephew. A snowflake or two came through the hole in the main hall, the hole where the enemy's crossbow arrows had hit. The temperature in the room was very low, and the snowflakes fell on the back of the hands of the main seater, and the cold touch woke up the contemplative person, and he looked up at the entrance of the cave where the snowflakes had drifted in, and a mouthful of white mist came out of his mouth, as if asking himself and as if asking: "Is it already the winter solstice?"

"It's... It's winter, big brother!?" the shivering child whispered.

I saw him raise his wine glass and laugh: "Drink! Where did you talk about it just now?" The civil and military officers in the audience looked at each other, and a handsome military general in green clothes and armor left his seat and came out of the crowd, hugged his fists and said: "City Lord! Winter is coming, the water is frozen, please think early!" Another Wenchen echoed: "City Lord, what Taishi said is right! Within three days, the Dashui River will be frozen, there is no great water and natural danger, our army's combat strength is insufficient, the war has been raging for many years, and the army is still unstable when the New Year is approaching!" If you retreat as soon as possible, burn the wilderness for thousands of miles, rely on the dangerous mountains, gather troops to defend, now the enemy army has many armor, but the land is barren, there must not be much grain and grass, and after a month, the extreme cold has passed, the water thaws, cut off the drawbridge, the enemy army is like a trapped beast, if you do not retreat, but it is the opponent of our army, and then the great revenge can be avenged!"

The city lord nodded: "Sun Xiao, what you said is reasonable!"

"You, surnamed Sun, are so poisonous! You want to burn my fertile soil for thousands of miles!" said a Wenchen: "Otherwise, the city lord, this battle must be fought!" If our army retreats, it will definitely abandon the heroic city to resist the enemy, just as the soldiers have discarded the defensive armor, and if our army retreats, the friendly army will inevitably be cold, and if the allies have abandoned their allies, they will not be able to get along in the future, and our army will retreat, just as the soldiers have lost their weapons, even if there are millions of divisions in the future, may I ask, how to drive away the wolves and tigers without friendly troops, no faith, and no weapons army? Now the water is beginning to freeze, the enemy army is wide, full of pride, as long as our side releases a hundred miles of smoke in the city, the enemy army must have no defense, at this time, if you send a surprise soldier with a friendly army, you can directly take the enemy's head!"

"And even if we can get the city back in the future, we won't be able to grow food in the future, so the gains outweigh the losses!" another Wenchen chimed in.

"Burning the field for thousands of miles, the fertile soil flying ashes, abandoning the city wall, the life of the earth is heavy, the armor is lost, and my heart is depressed. Please fight to the death!" "City Lord, fight to the death!" "City Lord!" "Battle to the death!!" a group of generals pleaded.

"Haha, there is no need to say it, everyone come out with me!" The city lord got up and took the trembling child's little hand with one hand, the two guards opened the door, and he strode out, followed by a group of civil and military personnel. I saw that there was already a piece of silver frost outside. The lord asked, "Do you think this place is different from normal today?"

Seeing that the people in the city were closed, it was already the time of cooking smoke, but now it was deserted, without a trace of fireworks, and some Wenchen was overjoyed at the moment and said: "The city lord is wise!"

At this time, the squad leader trotted over, knelt down on one knee and said, "City Lord!"

"What's the matter?" the lord asked.

The team leader said quickly: "Report to the city lord!" There are a few students below, claiming to be from a certain countryside in the Heavenly Dome, and they want to take advantage of the road to go to the Chasing Sun City, and there is a big man named Zhao Qian in the family who is the king of the 7-star level of the Chasing the Sun City!"

"Zhao Qian?" the city lord wondered.

A Wenchen took out an old-fashioned notebook and inquired about it, and said, "City Lord, if it is a certain countryside in the Heavenly Dome, there is only one Lord Zhao Qian!"

"Since you're a student, have you read their credentials clearly?" the Wenchen asked.

"See, we've looked closely. The squad leader replied.

"Go and bring them up!" said the lord of the city.

"Yes!" the squad leader clenched his fists and led away.

"Good!" the lord shouted. I saw that the silver light in the hands of the city lord gathered, scattering into the sky, and the snowflakes in the sky were gathered into several people's wine glasses under the power of the silver light, and a bunch of white snowflakes were piled up on the brown-red wine.

"Generals, drink a glass of snow wine with me!"

"Yes!" The generals looked at the city lord with admiration on their faces, yes, this is a man full of charm, such a city lord is worth following.

Wait until everyone has drunk it,

The city lord squatted and straightened the collar of the trembling child, "Big brother, you can go with me!" The child is also the age of the governor, and he has been snuggling up to his brother since he was a child, and now he suddenly wants to separate, and he feels uncomfortable. The city lord pinched the child's nose, "Sister Quan is also fourteen this year, right?"

"Fifteen, big brother!" the child pouted.

"Well, fifteen, our princess Quanquan has grown up, and she is so tall, she will be self-reliant in the future. The city lord sighed.

"I'm not a princess!" the child muttered.

"Haha, the snow is so big that it covers my eyes a little!" the city lord said with a laugh.

The city lord got up, pulled out his sword, a cold light suddenly appeared, he looked at the sky, his eyes stared at the saber and asked himself: "Wen Yu Xue, Mr. asked, what is your weapon? Wen Yuwu, father asked, what is your weapon? Mr. said, the weapon is on the chest, father said, hide the weapon in the body! I dare not forget! My weapon, there is only you!"

As he spoke, the lord returned the sword to the sheath, and put the scabbard into the child's hand. He said, "Li Quan! This year's birthday gift is this sword, Wu Yujian!"

"Thank you, big brother!" the child happily held his sword. On the side, a group of civil and military people didn't dare to say it.

Qiao Jing waited at the city gate for a while, and saw that the team leader hurriedly ran out of the small gate and said, "Several, the city lord is invited!"

"Please follow me!" said the team leader.

Several people followed the team leader forward, and when they entered the small door, it was a spiral staircase covered with rotating stones. The group went around several times and finally reached the top of the wall.

"Welcome to Wu Yu City!" said the city lord in front of him with a smile, and all the civil and military forces behind him had no choice but to squeeze out a smile.

Handsome and majestic, this is Qiao Jing's first impression of the city lord, like a snow plum, it is Qiao Jing's first impression of the little girl who is holding hands with the city lord.
