The birthday banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion was extremely lively, and almost all the officials of the DPRK and China were present to celebrate, and a full 130 tables were set up. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info from the Celestial Dynasty Song and Dance Theater hired a troupe from early morning to dusk, the last play is called "The Battle of Tianchuang", the play is the story of Huo Yiben with one enemy and three, and the army captures Zheng Jueming from it.

Ban Pinren and Huo Yiben sat down on the left and right of a table, behind Ban Pinren was his wife Huo Cuicui, and Huo Yiben was sitting around his three sons.

Ban Pinren smiled and said to Huo Yiben: "I think that the general back then entered the realm of no one with one enemy, he was really brave and invincible. Looking at this drama now, I can't help but think of those glorious days. ”

Huo Yiben nodded and smiled: "Now it seems that I also feel a little incredible, and the courage of my youth has now been exhausted." Don't mention it, don't mention it. ”

Not far behind the two sat two ministers of the DPRK and China, one surnamed Shen Mingzhi and the other surnamed Hou Mingzizhang, both of whom were close to Ban Pinren on weekdays.

Shen Zhi said: "General Huo, don't be humble, who in the entire Cangdong Tiger Country doesn't know your name." I think you were the hero of the Jin Ge Iron Horse back then, and now only you can be called the general of the country, which is incomparable to these young people now. ”

Hou Zizhang sighed on the side and said, "It's a pity that we couldn't see the courage of General Huo back then." Today is the birthday celebration of the Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China, and the general's drama is being performed on the stage, so it is better to invite the general to come to the stage to show his strength, so that everyone can see the power of the Huo family's marksmanship. ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding officials immediately became hotly discussed, and for a while, the sound overshadowed the accompaniment on the stage. Although Huo Yi was expressionless on his face, there were more things in his eyes that others couldn't see. Looking at his three sons again, Huo Mengsheng sat in his position, although he didn't look at his father's reaction, he already knew it in his heart. His father was a dignified founding general, but he was proposed to show his marksmanship like a monkey at the birthday banquet of the prime minister for everyone's amusement. This is not only an insult to his father himself, but also an insult to the Huo family gun that once made great contributions to the royal family. Huo Yunqi drank heavily from the jade carved wine jug in his hand, not caring about other people's remarks at all, at this time he seemed to be cut off from the world, and no amount of disturbance could affect him. Huo Wuxian sat on the chair bored, he had lost a lot of weight during the days he was imprisoned at home, and his face no longer had the smug look of the past, but his eyes were blank like a lonely old man.

Although Huo Yiben was only silent for a few seconds, this time seemed to freeze for a long, long time, until he opened his mouth and instructed the servant: "Go and get my Nine Heavens Cloud Python Spear." The atmosphere calmed down again.

The actors all left the stage, and Huo Yiben stood on the stage with a Nine Heavens Cloud Python gun in his hand. His gaze was straight ahead, seemingly aimed at the audience, but in fact he was staring at Ban Pinren. He stood on the ground with the gun, reached out to unbutton his coat and threw it aside, kicked the tail of the gun with his toes and held it in his palm. With the transformation of his pace and the wave of his palm, the Nine Heavens Cloud Python Gun seemed to be transformed into a white python shuttling freely, and it looked even brighter with the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Good! General Huo is really heroic. Shen Zhi applauded.

"Huo's gun is really worthy of its name! General Huo is really not old. Hou Zizhang also shouted on the side.

The applause continued to linger in Huo Mengsheng's ears, like a lingering ghost, and all the sounds turned into needles that pricked every nerve in him, and then left a scar of shame that could never heal.

The alcohol stimulated Huo Yunqi's brain, and countless identical faces fluttered in front of him. It wasn't until he lost his wife that he realized that he was so dependent on her, and losing her was like losing the whole world.

Huo Wuxian stared at his father on the stage with complete disdain, he was still making trouble about Ban Yi's affairs, hating the Huo family who controlled everything about him, and his father who couldn't resist at all.

Under the vast night sky, the figure was like flowing water, blurred and unrecognizable. The hustle and bustle is like a dream, and I can't tell how many things are disturbed, and I can't see how many tricks and conspiracies there are.

As soon as winter began, there was an urgent report from the frontier. A legion calling itself "Hewei" broke through the city of Moke in the northwest of the mainland, where it has now proclaimed itself a kingdom, and threatened to overthrow the rule of the Cangdong Tiger Kingdom and establish a new Great Hewei Dynasty.

Zheng Puming immediately summoned Ban Pinren to the palace to discuss the matter, accompanied by Shen Zhi and Hou Zizhang.

"At present, the war is urgent, and a battle report has been sent from the front, saying that Hewei is already preparing to attack Xia Yan, who is close to Mojiao City, so it is necessary to send reinforcements as soon as possible to avoid raising tigers." Zheng Puming's attitude was serious, and the officials present could feel the tension of the situation from his expressions.

Hou Zizhang said: "Your Majesty has considered letting General Huo fight?" ”

Zheng Puming nodded and said: "I have also thought about this, but now the veterans of the court are all old, and the prestige of Yiben is quite high. Once he is allowed to leave the city, there will be no one to rely on if there is anything else to do. ”

Ban Pinren said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, besides, if you send General Huo to go in the first battle, it will make people think that there is no one in our army, and the minister thinks that it is better to send a young general." ”

"Is there any suitable candidate for the prime minister?"

"Wu Shuo, the junior general of the Eastern Army, and Ren Yuanshou, the general of the Northern Army, these two are good candidates."

Just as the two were talking, Shen Zhi suddenly stood up and saluted: "The minister has the best candidate, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

Zheng Puming raised his hand and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The minister thinks that this crusading frontier man cannot be easily used, he must have sufficient battlefield experience and a certain prestige to convince the public. General Huo is naturally the first candidate, but his second son's divine power is even more brilliant when Huo Yunqi is prepared, and if he is allowed to fight in this battle, he will definitely be captured. ”

Jung fell into a brief silence.

Ban Pinren immediately said: "Shen Li Hou just lost his wife a few days ago, I heard that he borrows alcohol every day to kill his sorrows, if it is not appropriate to let him lead the army to go out at this time, it is better not to think about it." ”

Without waiting for Zheng Puming to speak, Shen Zhi said again: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, how can the private feelings of children be compared with the safety of the country." If Shen Lihou is really that kind of person, I really think highly of him. ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall: "Thanks to Lord Shen's high opinion, the divine power has come to ask Your Majesty for battle." As he spoke, Huo Yunqi had already walked into the main hall, and saw that he was wearing battle armor and a steel helmet, obviously looking ready to go out at any time.

Ban Pinren hurriedly got up and stepped forward, "Why are you here?" ”

Huo Yunqi nodded to him, then knelt on one knee and saluted Zheng Puming: "Divine power is waiting to see Your Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to give me an order to lead troops to the battle." If you don't kill all the cranes, the chaotic party vows not to return the capital! ”

Zheng Puming looked at the officials, turned back to Huo Yunqi's face, and his gaze had become firm and serious, "Is your current state really okay?" ”

"No problem at all, Your Majesty." Huo Yunqi replied without even hesitating.

Zheng Puming's gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and finally made up his mind and responded: "Okay! Now I order the 50,000 troops of the Divine Force to wait for the commander and set off for Xia Qian on the same day. ”

In December of the twentieth year of Tianpu, Huo Yunqi led a vanguard army of 5,000 people to set off for Xia Qian in a large chariot modified from the imperial car, and the follow-up troops followed one after another.

On this day, the wind was gusting, and thick dark clouds appeared faintly in the distance as far as the eye could see, and only a few lone birds occasionally passed by in the long sky. The army was marching on a wasteland at this time, and there was no place to hide from the wind and rain, so Huo Yunqi ordered to speed up the march and leave this area before the rain fell.

"What's that?" One of his subordinates looked into the distance through the window glass of the car that was taller than a human in the car, and muttered to himself.

Huo Yunqi heard his words, his eyes swept out of the window, and sure enough, he saw a puff of dust and smoke floating on the wasteland a few hundred meters away, and the outline of a black car gradually leaked out first, and there seemed to be a figure on the roof of the car, but it was not real because it was blocked by the wind and sand.

"Who has ever seen that black car? It doesn't seem to be on our team. ”

"Look! It's coming towards us. ”

"Hey, there's a man up there, a man."

Everyone said a word, and gradually they were all attracted to the window. At this time, the black imperial car was already very close, and it was only less than twenty meters away from the imperial car where Huo Yunqi was, and the appearance of the man in the car could be seen clearly from this angle. He was wearing a long dark blue trench coat, a silver-gray fisherman's hat, and windproof goggles on the bridge of his nose, looking out of the car window.

Before everyone could say anything more, the man raised his left arm, which had been left in the blind spot, and immediately aimed at a shotgun that had been hidden for a long time. In the roaring gunshots, the windows of the car they were riding in were shattered, and the man jumped up from the black car and fell into the carriage where everyone was. At the same time, he had thrown the shotgun away, and a powerful soul pattern energy surged on his right arm, instantly spitting out a spiral wind blade in the shape of a blade. With the blade of the air-shaped blade, the man slashed three heavily armed soldiers in the carriage in a row. Blood splattered inside the carriage, making everyone's nerves tense as well.

Huo Yunqi stabbed at the man with a spear in his hand, and the space in the carriage was limited, so he could only make this action. The man once again used his soul pattern ability, and the air flow formed a wind shield on his other arm, and the sharp tip of the spear was hard.

Huo Yunqi changed from holding the grab with one hand at the beginning to holding it with both hands, pushing the gun forward and pushing it forward. The man couldn't bear his strength, his body began to retreat a little bit, and he was about to retreat to the car door, but he suddenly waved the wind blade and cut Huo Yunqi's gun from the middle.

By this time, the guards in the front and rear had already arrived on horseback, and when the man saw that he had lost his time, he had jumped back to the black chariot with his quick movements. He had his own accomplices in the car to cover him, and after a few of them, he fought with the cavalry that was chasing them, and after killing a few of them, he fled in the exact opposite direction from which he came.

"Let the cavalry withdraw! Stop chasing. Huo Yunqi gave an order as he squatted down to help up a subordinate whose left arm had been cut off.

A subordinate next to him gritted his teeth and looked at the shadow of the black car in the distance, "Damn! If we had set off with two Soulstone Heat Beam Cannons, I'd have blasted these bastards. ”

Huo Yunqi said: "That man's target is me, just now he can use a firearm, but he deliberately used the soul pattern ability, the purpose is only to test, not to kill me." ”

"I didn't expect Hewei to also hire soul martial arts as combat power, it seems that this is another inevitable bitter battle."

"No matter how many soul martial arts he has, our follow-up troops are well-equipped, and dozens of soul stone heat beam cannons are bombarded indiscriminately, ensuring that they will be wiped out."

Amidst the discussion of his subordinates, Huo Yunqi's gaze fell on his severed spear.
