Chapter 1: Night Raid
In the thirtieth year of the Dragon Yuan, Gu Yu.
At night, this huge beast still has its eyes open, prostrate on this vast plain, its every organ is running, and it defies everything around it like a king, it is the city of Emperor's Landing.
It is the largest city in the world, all the facilities in the city are like every organ of the city, the canal is its blood vessels, the towering stone tower is its eyes, the city wall is its strong armor, and the heavenly army camps distributed in the city are its sharp minions.
And the palace that shines like day in the clouds is the brain of this giant beast, controlling this giant beast and even the whole world, and all the creatures in this land are like its cells, providing nutrients to it day and night.
In the middle of the city, the overlapping buildings stretch all the way, extending as far as the eye can see, still overlapping and indistinctly illusory shadows, and under the heavy night, the ground is black and oppressive, as if it has been extending towards the end of this land.
The city is too big, although the city is full of lanterns, and there are high-rise buildings, the lights are full of green wine and green singing and dancing Qinglou Le Fang, the pedestrians walking on the bluestone road, the running carriages, the patrolling Emperor Lin Tianjun, and the Tianshu Tower that is distributed in all corners of the city, watching the whole city like eyes.
- However, no matter how prosperous and strict the city is, there are still its dark places.
Night, sub-hour.
The streets on both sides of Tongtian Avenue in the city, still brightly lit, there is no curfew after the new emperor ascends the throne, for some people, a new day is really the beginning, several big flower buildings are in front of the courtyard, the wealthy and nobles are entering, it is lively.
In order to rule this behemoth more effectively, the Emperor of Heaven divided the entire Emperor Lin City into eighty-one city squares, the city square extends to the sky avenue as the central axis to spread to both sides, each market square is independent, the roads in the city square are connected, and there are roads connecting the city squares, which can drive four wheels together.
The closer to the Lingyun Palace, the more prosperous the city, the high-rise buildings are lined up, the roads are spacious, and most of them are purchased by wealthy families. On the contrary, the closer to the city walls, the more shabby they became, with narrow roads and low houses, mostly for market vendors and people who did the lowest jobs for the city.
Under the east city wall, Dongpingfang.
There is a person, tall and majestic, riding a black horse, wearing a white shirt, wearing a jade crown, the whole person is very strong, and the eyebrows are handsome.
Dongpingfang at night, no more than those in the city close to Lingyun Palace, is exceptionally quiet at this time, except for a few official lights on the side of the road, the rest of the lights are sporadically lit less than ten households.
The roads in Dongpingfang are muddy and narrow, and some houses have fences in front of them to raise poultry, which is stinky. The rider did not linger too much, holding the reins and whipping the horse.
The night before yesterday, someone sneaked into the Huweihou Mansion in Yongningfang, quietly kidnapped the only daughter of Huweihou Tongyuan, and left a note to leave.
Tong Yuan was furious when he found out, but he was helpless, and he searched for it many times to no avail, so he had to go to Dongpingfang alone the next day according to the note.
Because Tong Yuan cared about his face, he was afraid that the matter would be insulting to his name as General Huwei, so he did not bring people with him, and he did not know that the Heavenly Emperor and the Emperor of Shuwei were in the Heavenly Army Mansion in the city.
Tong Yuan is the Emperor Linguo Tiger Marquis, the commander of the Northern Army, and leads his troops to guard the border pass of the Northern State all the year round.
In the twenty-seventh year of the Dragon Yuan, the barbarian tribe of the northern Cangxue country invaded the territory, Tong Yuan rushed into the enemy formation with one person and one horse, and still did not change his face in the face of tens of thousands of enemies, killing more than 300 people, and picking 18 enemy generals with guns, forcing the barbarians to withdraw.
Since then, Tong Yuan has become famous, because of his strong martial arts, a silver spear is superb, and it is difficult for gods and ghosts to approach, and he is known as the Northland Gun God.
At night, a bright moon in the sky sprinkled the white moon all over the earth, illuminating the stars without light. Although it is not as dazzling as the lights of Guangle Fang, it is enough to make people distinguish the surrounding scenery in this dark and unlit night.
On the stone bridge, two black shadows stood under the moon.
The two of them were wearing black robes, this black robe was a very long hooded robe, the two of them wore robes and hats, and their faces were wearing dark iron masks, although they couldn't see their faces clearly, but the forehead of the mask was engraved with the word "night".
Tong Yuan had already seen the two of them on the stone bridge, and a horse and whip rushed towards the two, about a few feet away, and immediately Tong Yuan reined in the horse, and the white shadow turned over and dismounted in a flash, and walked towards the stone bridge.
"Are you really here?" asked one of the slender black figures, shaking his black robe, his tone strange and eerie.
"What about Lian'er?" Tong Yuan said coldly.
"What's the hurry...... the slender black-robed man said in a somewhat strange tone, and waved his hand at the black-robed man beside him.
Another black-robed man, burly, even stronger than Tong Yuan, threw a wooden box over with stiff movements.
Tong Yuan was agile, took the flying wooden box, and asked suspiciously, "Where is Lian'er?"
"Huh...... If you open it and take a look, you'll know!" the slender black-robed man covered his face with one hand and smiled grimly.
Tong Yuan did not hesitate, opened the wooden box in his hand, and suddenly there was a bloody human head in the box.
To be exact, the head of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, with a hideous face, a face full of fear, and several bruises on her face.
The human head was cut off with a sharp blade, the wound on the neck was smooth, and the knife cut was cut from the junction between the cervical vertebrae, without touching the bone at all - it can be seen that the perpetrator is also a master.
"Ahh
Tong Yuan shouted, a strong calloused hand, gently stroked the hideous face twice, then gently closed the wooden box, turned around and walked towards the black horse.
"Oh! and just gone?" quipped the slender black-robed man.
The man did not answer, but walked up to the horse, carefully put the wooden box into the saddle bag, and turned back towards the stone bridge. His eyes were filled with rage, his fists clenched together, and his bones made a "click" sound.
I saw Tong Yuan walking faster and faster, jumping up in the air, and roaring: "Ahhh......h I'm going to cut off your dog's head today and sacrifice it to my lotus child!"
Tong Yuan jumped up, the mechanism in a leather dark box on his belt turned twice, and a palm-long silver stick popped out, Tong Yuan caught it on the right and knocked the tail end of the silver stick on his body.
The mechanism in the stick was triggered, and dozens of silver sticks of the same size in the "Click" stick immediately popped out, tightly connected together, like a five-foot silver gun, and the tip of the gun flashed with a cold light.
In an instant, Tong Yuan held the silver spear with both hands, shook his wrist in the air, and the silver spear in his hand danced a spear flower, and slashed straight towards the slender black-robed man on the stone bridge.
Seeing the situation, the slender black-robed man did not hesitate, jumped back, the burly black-robed man raised his left hand to block, and with a metal collision sound, the silver spear slashed into the black-robed man's left hand, and the momentum was not eliminated, forcing the burly black-robed man back a few steps.
Seeing that the gun was not gone, the burly black-robed man flashed with a stab in his right hand, and threw out a steel knife in his sleeve towards Tong Yuan.
Seeing that Tong Yuan's spear was amazing, the black-robed duo jumped to the side one after another, widening the distance.
The burly black-robed man jumped away with his strength, and the moment he landed, dozens of "whoosh" sounds sounded in the air, dozens of cold rays appeared, and a chilling wind went straight to Tong Yuan with killing intent.
Tong Yuan saw the situation, and the silver spear swept to protect his body.
I saw that the silver light of the body of the spear was getting more and more intense, the qi of the sea of qi surged up suddenly, and the aura gathered on the silver spear.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang" dozens of metal collisions, and the cold mangs were all bounced out.
The cold light was all blocked, and before Tong Yuan could close his momentum, a black shadow flashed in front of him, turning into a dark afterimage, and the burly black-robed man directly punched him closely, and the "boom" hit Tong Yuan back two steps.
The footsteps were not stable, and the afterimage flashed on the back, and the momentum swept out like a flood beast, and the "boom" was another punch, the air seemed to be trembling, and Tong Yuan was directly knocked away for several feet.
Tong Yuan, who flew out in response, shook his wrist in the air, pointed the tip of the gun downward, and thrust it into the ground.
The tip of the spear went into the ground, raising a long line of sand, Tong Yuan's feet rubbed against the ground like a hook, and when his body was stable, he pressed his toes a little harder, and a dark force sank, and he finally stood firm.
But without waiting for Tong Yuan to make more adjustments, a strong and domineering murderous aura had already come straight to him.
"Spear stabbing - dragon yin" Tong Yuan put the silver spear in front of his chest, and a cold aura in the sea of qi instantly filled the body of the spear, and shouted, "Break".
The silver spear suddenly stabbed towards the comer, and the spear was unstoppable like a dragon, and a silver dragon rushed away with the momentum of the bell. Wherever the silver spear passed, the temperature dropped rapidly, and even the air was torn apart, emitting a piercing dragon moan.
The black afterimage collided with the silver dragon, and was quickly swallowed, and the silver dragon rolled the black-robed man and fell directly into the river.
Tong Yuan didn't hesitate at all, although he was embarrassed by a few heavy punches from the black-robed man, he was finally blocked by the "Dragon Protection". But he knew very well that he couldn't fight at this time, the strength of himself and the other party was between them, and at the moment, he could only get out by solving another black-robed person.
In the night sky, a silver flower danced out of thin air, Tong Yuan jumped up, and the silver spear was like an arrow off the string, flashing cold under the moon, shooting towards the slender black-robed man.
At the moment of lightning, the slender black-robed man did not panic, his hands and five fingers formed a fan, raised his hand out of thin air, pressed down, and ten fingers were like hooks, standing in mid-air.
Tong Yuan only felt that his body was covered with a layer of invisible aura, and he was about to hit the black-robed man, when he suddenly noticed a faint cold flash in the corner of his eyes, he subconsciously turned over to avoid it, and a strand of sideburns floating in the wind in his ears was invisibly cut into two pieces.
It's so dangerous, if you hadn't reacted in time just now, you would have been in a different place at this time. Tong Yuan fixed his eyes and couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and his eyes were covered with dozens of untraceable silver filaments at some point.
"It's Panlong Si, you, you are actually a puppeteer!" Tong Yuan looked at the black-robed man in astonishment, his face full of incredulity.
"The puppeteer disappeared thirty years ago, you, you ......" Tong Yuan's tone was incredulous, standing a few meters away with a silver spear in his hand, and he didn't dare to make a rash move for a while.
"Oh...... You recognized me as a puppeteer so quickly?Looks like I underestimated you, hahaha......" The slender black-robed man smiled grimly.
