The hotel was quiet, I don't know if it was because of the sound insulation or because there were no tenants. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dongfang Tianma came out of the bathroom, his hair was wet, and he had a bath towel around his lower body, and around his neck, the necklace of soul stone beads that had been hanging when he was abandoned gave off a beautiful brilliance under the illumination of the light.

Fu Lang was lying on the single bed in a large shape, and on the bedside table at his hand, he had eaten more than half of the barbecue patties. Staring at Dongfang Tianma, he said, "The two of us will soon be separated from Tianma, and the destination of my trip is the next town." ”

"Why so suddenly! I also want to spend more time with you, Brother Fulang, and there are still a lot of things to learn from you about soul patterns. Dongfang Tianma's mood was obviously a little lost, and he was not in the mood to eat his own barbecue patty.

Seeing him like this, Fu Lang couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "Haven't you been promoted to the stage of awakening and absolute release?" Didn't I tell you that if you want to get promoted, you have to use your soul pattern ability from time to time, what? Are you still pestering me? ”

"It was an accidental ascension, and even I don't know what it is."

"In my opinion! It must have been that you were at a life-and-death juncture at the time, so the soul pattern energy would increase by leaps and bounds. I've heard of many people before, when faced with danger, the ability of the soul pattern instantly increases, defeating opponents who are originally stronger than themselves. This is the case this time. ”

Dongfang Tianma walked to his bed and sat down, and said, "But the wind currents that appeared around my body at that time obviously felt different from the wheals that appeared from my feet. That stone general couldn't even do anything about Brother Xu Yun, but its fist hit the wind and air flow around me to no avail. ”

Fu Lang changed his posture, stood up the pillow and leaned against the head of the bed, closed his eyes and said, "This is the difference between soul tattoo warriors and ordinary people, we have become strong because of the soul pattern energy. In other words, we have the power at the heart of this world. That's right! Haven't come up with a name for your abilities yet? ”

Dongfang Tianma said: "Name or something, I'm not good at this kind of thing!" Otherwise, Brother Fulang, can you help me get one? ”

Fu Lang's eyes rolled, and he said: "Since it is a wind barrier, I think it will be called 'Lan Wind Barrier'!" ”

The gray curtains were dragged up by the night breeze, and the atmosphere in the brightly lit room was solemn. In addition to Xu Yun, the leader of the swordsman team of the Iron Horse City City, there were two other people in the room, one was sitting on a high-backed chair, Miao Xizheng, a big official who came from afar from the imperial city, and the other was standing next to him, which was Miao Xizheng's personal guard White Snake.

"Regarding what I just said, I hope that Captain Xu can think about it carefully. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and we don't want anyone to backtrack. "Miao Xizheng is tall, he has a square face, and a pair of square-rimmed glasses are rested on small slitted eyes, giving people a sleek and shrewd impression.

Xu Yun was wearing bandages on his head and body, and the look on his face was not very good-looking at the moment, as if he wanted to make his own statement, but he was forced to find out because of other concerns. Almost a minute passed before he picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said, "I'm sorry! I can't agree to what you said. If you want me to do that kind of treacherous deed, it is better to give me a knife directly. ”

After listening to Xu Yun's words, the white snake who stood aside and wore a long black windbreaker said coldly: "Since this is the case, there is no need for you to live in this world. After speaking, he pulled out the slender blade at his waist and made a gesture to slash Xu Yun.

Miao Xizheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't be rude!" ”

The white snake held the blade in his hand and looked at Miao Xizheng and said: "But my lord, he already knows about this matter, if he leaks the news......"

Miao Xizheng looked calm and calm, and responded: "It's okay, even if this news is leaked, with his status as the leader of the swordsman team in a small city, he can't change anything at all." No one will believe him, and no one will doubt me. ”

Xu Yun was indignant in his heart, but he had no way to deal with Miao Xizheng. Today, in the country of wisteria windmills, there are three officials with the highest power and prestige, and he is one of them. As soon as he said a word, the whole country trembled.

Seeing that Xu Yun was silent, Miao Xizheng smiled and said, "Since Captain Xu refuses to agree, then please be a tight-lipped person!" When we succeed, I would like you to continue to be the captain of the Iron Horse City-State Swordsmen's Order. After saying that, a smiling face instantly turned cold, stood up from the seat, and walked away without looking back.

After Miao Xizheng and White Snake left, Yan Fa, who was wearing bandages, immediately walked into the house, looked at Xu Yun with an indignant face, and asked, "What did they say?" ”

Xu Yun took a drink from the wine glass and replied: "Miao Xizheng, this guy, he actually wants to use his forces to overthrow the current regime. He wants me to join him and play for him. ”

Yan Fa was taken aback when he heard this, and said in a lost voice: "It is ...... that a big man like him dares to buy people's hearts with such fanfare."

Xu Yun nodded and said, "This proves that there is already a turbulent situation in the Imperial City. It seems that the news that the king was seriously ill some time ago is true. ”

Yan Fa said: "Miao Xizheng is so bold, don't other people in the political circles of the Imperial City notice it?" ”

Xu Yun poured a glass again, "I think there should be other people who intend to rebel, the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital Guard, and the upper echelons of our city-state swordsman regiment. ”

Yan Fa's eyes were full of loss, "But...... What can a small character like us do? ”

Xu Yun held the wine glass in his hand, gently shook it out of a whirlpool shape, and responded as if talking to himself: "You're right, we have no choice at all, and the decision is in the hands of those high-level executives." ”

Thanks to Aunt Qing, I have developed the habit of getting up early since I was a child. Dongfang Tianma washed lightly, and saw that Fu Lang was sleeping soundly, so he did not disturb him. Dressed and left the hotel, heading straight for the city-state swordsman corps station. Dong Haifan waited at the main gate early in the morning, and was very happy to see Dongfang Tianma arrive as scheduled.

The two walked side by side on the Iron Horse Avenue and enjoyed the prosperity of the Iron Horse City. The wide avenue is lined with various carriages and carriages, and the street is lined with shops, and in front of almost every shop stands a statue of an iron horse, the same size but in a variety of shapes. From those with their front hooves raised to their manes like fire, to those with their heads bowed and their backs bowed to make herbivores, and those with their tails flying and galloping, each horse is extremely realistic, and the craftsmanship of the carvers can be seen in the statue itself.

At the end of the Iron Horse Avenue is the Nuoda Square, where the statue of the seventeen heroes of the Iron Horse that Dong Haifan once talked about is located. As far as the eye can see, the whole square looks like a huge square park, not surrounded by buildings, but surrounded by wide roads. Outsiders naturally don't know, but the people who live in the Iron Horse City don't know that this place as big as a square is actually a symbolic cemetery.

Dongfang Tianma followed Dong Haifan towards the center of the square, and on both sides of the pavement paved with blue bricks, various ornamental plants were planted. Dong Haifan said as he walked: "Actually, this is not a square, it's just called so for the sake of a nice name." Our locals call it the 'Hero's Cemetery'. ”

Dongfang Tianma said with a surprised look on his face: "What do you say? ”

"Actually, our ancestors in Iron Horse City were all nomads from the north who came to escape the war. It was an extremely difficult time for the people who left their homes to rebuild their homes. At that time, the entire Iron Horse City was still a small village composed of wooden houses and thatched houses, and it was often persecuted by mountain bandits and barbarian troops. So at that time, the people spontaneously formed the Iron Horse Gang, all of which were composed of warriors who were proficient in equestrianism. Since the existence of the Iron Horse Gang, the surrounding mountain bandit barbarians have hardly been intrusive. It wasn't until one time later that a traitor came out of the Iron Horse Gang and leaked all the members and the defensive arrangements in the villages and towns to the mountain bandits, attracting a large group of mountain bandits to attack. The unsuspecting Iron Horse Gang fought bloodily to protect everyone's safe evacuation, but only seventeen people were left to stop the mountain bandits who poured into the village. As a result, all seventeen men, along with their horses, were killed. It is precisely because of these things that there is now a statue of the Seventeen Iron Horse Heroes. Dong Haifan seemed to be quite proud of this history of Iron Horse City, and he said tirelessly, as if it was something he had personally experienced.

The conversation had come to the center of the cemetery, where the tall iron horses and human figures were surrounded by a thousand purple and red flowers. I saw that in the magnificent iron statue, the people were all heroes; The horses were like empty horses. Although they are all statues that stand still, they have a heroic and fearless momentum of forging ahead.

"How? Shocking, right? Dong Haifan smiled proudly at Dongfang Tianma.

In the cemetery, you can see young men with their hands folded facing the statue of the seventeen heroes riding iron horses. Dongfang Tianma pointed and asked, "What are they doing?" ”

Dong Haifan responded: "They are seeking the blessing of their ancestors, hoping to successfully pass the assessment of the city-state swordsman group. This method is particularly effective, and almost all of us young people in Iron Horse City believe in it. I also came here to pray before the exam, and I was hired. Now that I think about it, it seems like it was yesterday. ”

Suddenly, the Eastern Pegasus also faced the statue of the Seventeen Heroes on Iron Horses, clasped his hands together, and prayed like the young men.

Seeing him like this, Dong Haifan asked curiously, "Hey! What are you doing here? Don't you want to join the city-state swordsman clan too? ”

Dongfang Tianma closed his eyes and replied, "I took the assessment when I was in the village, but unfortunately I was not admitted. However, I will still hold on to my dreams, so I want to pray that the Iron Horse heroes will bless me to become a world-famous swordsman in the future. ”

Dong Haifan said: "If you want to join the city-state swordsman regiment, I can apply with the captain and let you participate in the assessment with us." If your swordsmanship is up to par, you will definitely be admitted. ”

Dongfang Tianma opened his eyes and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have already promised Aunt Qing that after this trip, I will go back to see her." I can't stay in Iron Horse City. ”

Speaking of Aunt Qing, Dongfang Tianma couldn't help but think of Fengqi Village. Thinking of Yun Jiu, thinking of Nie Ru, and canned food, bread, and black charcoal. I don't know what everyone is doing now, but have you ever thought of yourself? This was the first time he felt homesick since leaving home.
