Chapter 44: The Eve of War
Gad Empire, Leiliu Province, Gangzhai.
The air is fresh and the sky is clear.
After Sikong Yu practiced the Lotus Absorbing Technique for several days in a row, he could now be sure that if there was a person at the peak of a warrior now, he could completely drain the true qi in his body and transform it into his own strength. Although this achievement seems like nothing, it is a great achievement in Sikong Yu's opinion.
He was sure that as long as he practiced the lotus suction technique well, his future would be limitless.
"Report, General Liu is back. A soldier ran over and said respectfully.
"Come in, please. Sikong Yu said.
"Minister Liu Yi, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Liu Yi walked in and knelt down and said.
"General Liu, please. Sikong Yu said.
"Is Biqing Province able to fight down?" asked Sikong Yu.
"I can't beat it. Liu Yi said.
"What are we going to do?" asked Sikong Yu with an unchanged expression.
"As long as we don't know the formation of the Bibo Sect, if we know the formation of the Bibo Sect, everything will be easy. Liu Yi said.
Sikong Yu thought for a while and said, "I'll go talk to the archbishop, you go down first." β
After Liu Yi left, Sikong Yu practiced the lotus sucking technique again, until he was sweating profusely.
He took a shower and did not go to the archbishop until it was a little dark.
At this time, the archbishop was sitting in a chair, his eyes slightly closed, and he looked like he was sleeping, but Sikong Yu knew that he was not sleeping.
"Wake up. Sikong Yu said.
"What's the matter?" said the archbishop lazily.
"Is it appropriate to attack Biqing Province now?" asked Sikong Yu.
The archbishop was silent, and Sikong Yu was not in a hurry to accompany him in silence.
I don't know how long the archbishop was silent, and said: "The angel has not given instructions on this matter. β
Sikong Yu nodded, he knew that what the archbishop meant by this sentence was that this matter was for him to judge, and he neither said no, nor said yes.
At this time, the archbishop took out a book from his sleeve, and on the cover of the book was written three words in red lettersβthe fire that will not be extinguished.
The archbishop said, "I have practiced this martial art, and I want to practice it until I am perfect." β
Sikong Yu said: "But I don't have any strange fire now." β
The archbishop said, "Don't you have dragon flames. β
Sikong Yu really wants to cry without tears now, and now that the black dragon has been sealed in his body, even if he has the strength, it is very little.
Sikong Yu returned to his room, crossed his legs on the bed, and ran the twenty-second Zhou Tian Dafa.
He tried to talk to the black dragon in his bodyβ
"Give me your flame!"
After saying these six words in his heart, Sikong Yu suddenly felt as if he was in a fire scene, he was surrounded by raging flames, the hot air made him dizzy, and he heard the crackling sound of the flames burning wood.
He looked left and right and found that he had nowhere to run.
Then he saw the figure of the black dragon in the flames again, the figure of the black dragon was huge, and compared to the black dragon, Sikong Yu at this moment was as small as an ant.
The black dragon said, "I can lend you the flames, because if you die, I will die, take it." β
Sikong Yu opened his eyes, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat. His forehead was also covered with sweat.
At the same time, he also found that there was a violent force in his body, and the true qi in his body seemed to be even more violent than before.
He took off his clothes, took a shower, and then opened the booklet of the unquenchable fire.
He condensed his true qi in his hand, and then let that fiery energy flow down his meridians like water to his palm, and he whispered, "Dragon Flame." β
Then it came out of his palm, but he didn't feel the slightest burning sensation in his palm.
This is undoubtedly a good thing, proving that this flame is not exclusive to him.
Three days later, it rained, pouring down.
Sikong Yu stood in the rain, letting the raindrops lap on him.
Sikong Yu spread out his hands, and two flames immediately appeared in his palms. As soon as Sikong Yu's mind moved, two flames immediately spread out from his palms and began to burn on the grass in front of him.
The flames burned brightly, intertwined with the rain falling from the sky.
But no matter how much rain fell on the flame, the flame showed no sign of extinguishing at all.
Sikong Yu looked at the raging flames, smiled and said, "Collect." β
For a moment I just listened to "Z." A puff of smoke rose up. Sikong Yu looked mysterious and terrifying in that puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared, the fire was completely extinguished, but not a single grass burned out in the meadow.
Sikong Yu knew that he could now completely control the dragon flame, and he would burn wherever he wanted, and he would definitely not burn anything he didn't want to burn.
Sikong Yu walked back to the house, his soaked body was dry in an instant because of Dragon Flame. But he took a shower anyway. After taking a bath, he went to the main hall to find Liu Yi and Li Chengfeng.
Gad Empire, Leiliu Province, Gangzhai, Main Hall.
At this time, Liu Yi and Li Chengfeng were sitting opposite each other, drinking tea.
But the two of them did not have the leisurely pleasure of drinking tea in their expressions, but frowned, and it was obvious that something troubled was lingering in their hearts like flies, lingering for a long time. Seeing Sikong Yu come in, the two of them got up at the same time.
As soon as the two of them got up, Sikong Yu waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.
Sikong Yu said: "Do you think this Biqing Province should be attacked now?"
Liu Yi said: "Now we have no idea about the enemy at all. β
Sikong Yu said: "I also know this, and the archbishop said that the angel did not give instructions on this matter. β
Li Chengfeng didn't speak, he kept drinking tea with a teacup, and he could tell from the expression on his face that he was contemplating.
Li Chengfeng suddenly drank all the tea in the cup and said: "I am in favor of fighting, although we are not sure now, but there is nothing in this world that is absolutely certain, isn't it." If a person has to be absolutely sure to do something, then he should never want to do anything in his life. β
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "That's right, the old man is also in favor of doing him!"
When he said the good words, the old man had already come to the main hall, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed that this skinny old man, who seemed to fall apart when the wind blew, would have such a fast speed. This old man is naturally the archbishop.
Liu Yi drank all the tea in his cup, poured another cup for himself, and then poured a cup for Sikong Yu.
Sikong Yu could see the hesitation in Liu Yi's eyes.
Sikong Yu said: "General Liu, if you have any ideas, say anything, don't worry about anything." β
Liu Yi took a sip of tea and said, "I only think that our current strength is not enough, and we can't let those soldiers shed blood and sacrifice in vain." It's going to war, it's a war, it's not a street gangster brawl. β
Li Chengfeng said: "I also know this, but if we don't do it, then sooner or later someone will attack us, and the troops we can raise now are about the same." The soldiers are now all trying to do a big job, and if we don't take action now, will we wait until they are discouraged before we do it? β
Liu Yi was silent, silent for a while, and said, "Okay, I agree." β
Training grounds.
It was afternoon, and the sun hung high in the sky like a huge fireball.
There were two people on the front platform, Liu Yi and Li Chengfeng. And below the platform were rows of soldiers.
Li Chengfeng shouted from below: "Tomorrow we will attack Biqing Province, this will definitely be a tragic battle, and it will also be a battle that will go down in history! The Yibo Empire thought that the Gad Empire had perished, and all the soldiers of the Gad Empire had died. But we will tell them with my blood that we are not dead and that the Gad Empire has not yet perished! We will fight on the plains, on every street, on every hill. We will do whatever it takes to retake our homeland! We will not surrender !!"
"Never surrender!"
"Never surrender!"
"Never surrender!"
The soldiers shouted in unison, there was no fear in their voices, only excitement. They are like wild tigers in cages, and now they are going out to forage for food.
Biqing Province, Bibo Zong.
At this time, the sky is clear, and the sun shines like broken gold in a pool full of lotus flowers. There was a small pavilion on one side of the pool, and there was a person in the small pavilion, a man with long black hair, and the sun shone on his side face, which made his side face particularly perfect and charming.
There was a breeze at this time, and the breeze gently lifted his hair, and his hair fluttered gently in the wind.
This man was drinking tea, he drank very slowly, very leisurely, he seemed to be a master of the world, as if all the noise and turmoil in this world had nothing to do with him.
At this time, a person suddenly walked in, he leaned over, his toes on the lotus leaf a few times, his body was also extremely fast and beautiful, like a swallow.
The man said calmly: "Sect Master, the Gangzhai side has already sent an army to our side. β
Liu Mengde said: "How many people are there?"
The man said: "According to the report from the spies, it is estimated that there are 200,000. β
Liu Mengde took a sip of tea and said, "Go and prepare the formation, you must let them come and go." β
The man: "Yes." β
After saying that, his body had already swept out, and his body was like a beautiful swallow.
Ippo Empire, Imperial City, Main Hall.
"Now the remnants of the Gad Empire have begun to attack Biqing Province. An Ibo Empire soldier said respectfully.
"Huang Zhan, you take your army and copy it from the path, don't let them find out, if you win in Biqing Province, you don't have to make a move, if Biqing Province loses, you will definitely destroy those remnants. Said the King of the Ibo Empire.
"Yes, Huang Zhan commanded. Huang Zhan said.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Orange flames were burning under the night sky, making the sound of firewood crackling.
"I'll be in Biqing Province tomorrow. Li Chengfeng said.
"Yes, tomorrow will be a terrible war. The archbishop said.
"Archbishop, tell you the truth, whether you are afraid of death or not. Liu Yi asked.
"I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid of death. The archbishop said.
But there was no fear in his voice, nor did he feel the slightest shame for saying that he was afraid of death. His tone was flat, as if he was talking about something very ordinary and very homely. At this moment, the archbishop was wearing a gray robe, and his silver-white hair was messy behind him, fluttering in the wind. It looks like an ordinary bad old man.
Li Chengfeng and Liu Yi laughed in unison: "It turns out that the archbishop is also afraid." β
Liu Yidao: "The archbishop is not alive and thorough. β
The archbishop said, "I can't be transparent, how can I be transparent." β
At this time, the wind was blowing gently, and the moonlight shone quietly on the slowly flowing stream. The wind came from nowhere with the faint scent of flowers. The sound of cicadas, frogs, and running water converge at this time into a sound that is more beautiful than music.
Liu Yi said: "It would be nice if there was wine at this time." β
Li Chengfeng said: "You can't drink alcohol during the march. β
Liu Yi said: "I also know this. β
The archbishop said, "You know a poem, late at night when guests come to tea instead of wine." Since you can't drink alcohol now, let's drink tea. I really should drink something, otherwise I feel sorry for the moon in the sky. β
With that, the archbishop laughed alone.
Li Chengfeng said: "What the archbishop said is reasonable, come on, serve tea." β
At this time, they were drinking tea, with the bright moon above their heads and the gurgling water beside them. You can hear cicadas and frogs chirping. Everything seemed quiet and beautiful.
But none of them forgot that tomorrow is a war.
They have prepared everything, and of course these preparations are not sufficient. There is no army in this world that can fully prepare for a war. But they have exhausted their power. So they're now enjoying what could be the last time of their lives.
Life is beautiful and precious. On the eve of this war, they can appreciate the preciousness of life even more.
