On December 22, 1889 in the Holy Lun calendar, when the sun shone on the first floor of the city of Haynes in the early morning, the army of the Phalatis Empire surrounded the city of Haynes from both land and water. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The guards of Haynes were dumbfounded when they saw the silver-armored cavalry that surrounded the outer city and the black crushing regiment and the ships that had been drawn in a long straight line outside the harbor and aimed their guns neatly at the shore!

Haynes's guard army even has less than a thousand reserve troops, and they have no formal combat training, and they only play the role of guarding caravans, maintaining order and catching thieves in peacetime, and even the thieves are not able to deal with it, and they have no experience in fighting with the regular army at all, not to mention the "Silver Silk" cavalry regiment, one of the three major legions of the Falatisis Empire that threatens the Saint-Lun Continent? And Haynes' maritime defense is almost zero!

At noon that day, my father, in his capacity as the lord of the city, convened an extraordinary council attended by the main bureaucrats and wealthy merchants in the city, at which my father proposed a motion for Henes to voluntarily renounce his sovereignty and independence, swear allegiance to the royal court of Falatis, and become one of the counties of the empire. The surrender document signed by the major wealthy merchants and stamped by his father with the official seal of the city lord was quickly completed. This was followed by a discussion on the question of the person who would carry the book out of the city to hand over to the troops of the Phalatis Empire, and since this candidate had to be able to represent political significance, have a certain symbolic meaning, and have a certain identity value, after some discussion, the candidates were finally concentrated on one person.

In the afternoon, I received my father's summons from the warm bed, and before I had time to freshen up, I was forced to hurry into my father's castle lord's mansion and took over the task of submitting the surrender without any objection.

"What an indelible humiliation! Unexpectedly, for the first time in my sixteen-year-old life, I was taken seriously, but it was an indishonorable status as a repatriation envoy! "As I lamented my life, I walked down the sunny avenue for the first time in months, and hurried with a guard like a lost dog to the garrison of the Faradis's army outside the city.

When I arrived at the camp of the "Silver Silk" cavalry regiment, where Ferratis stood, I asked the guards to deliver a message and express their intentions, and waited outside the camp for summons. During the long wait, I looked around boredly, and found that the Knights of the "Silver Silk" were quite neat and unobtrusive, and the tents stretched out from the center of the main tent in groups of hundreds, but they were connected with each other, and the patrols patrolled back and forth outside the camp without interruption, and were heavily guarded. The "Silver Silk" Knights really live up to their reputation! Its legion commander Archduke Li Binglan has the "Ice Lady God of War" on the battlefield, is one of the few soldiers on the Shenglun Continent, as a woman but impressed by the proud seven feet of men, seven years in the army has made countless great achievements, created dozens of war examples, under her leadership of the "Silver Silk" knights have become the invincible male division of the world, and she has won an undefeated reputation. But the feeling of being neglected at this time prevented me from burning the reverence I deserved for her. From time to time I could meet the contemptuous and mocking gazes of the Faradis Army as I wandered, I reciprocated with a lazy smile.

"Special envoy, the general wants to meet you alone." When I cursed the commander of Faradis nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine times, a female soldier of Faradis finally sent the summons order. Led by the female soldiers, I passed through many checkpoints and defenses and came to the main camp.

"Envoy, please come in."

I bowed down and entered the account.

In the center of the vast tent sat a pretty figure wrapped in silver armor, and on the front of the long table was a topographical map, scattered pieces of paper and inkstones. When I came in, the man stood up, his delicate figure accentuated by the silvery, finely handmade, well-cut armor. She took off her helmet and placed it lightly on the table, so that the long red hair that had been coiled up was waving to her shoulders, and a pair of ice blue eyes like jewels were embedded in the face of the blowing melon seeds, and as these beautiful eyes were facing me, the cold and clear gaze fell on me, and then slowly approached me. "The edge is like a sharp blade that is ready to kill the enemy, ruthless like an iceberg in the extreme cold north, and a bright orchid blooming in an empty valley" - this is Leih Bing Lan!

"Mr. Special Envoy, I beg your pardon for the previous simplification, because there are some urgent military affairs to deal with, so I neglected Mr." There is a kind of coldness and majesty permeated with a clear and graceful voice.

I indifferently met Li Binglan's clear gaze, and wantonly looked at this legendary beauty who combined prestige and beauty, and then replied with a smile: "Compared to the domineering and arrogance of the Faratis army, the previous waiting is nothing, and waiting for a beautiful woman is also the demeanor of a man. ”

"Do you always look at women like that? It's been years since anyone dared to look at me with such rude gaze. Li Binglan did not show anger at my rude gaze, but a playful light flashed in her eyes.

"I am an aesthete, I will only appreciate the beauty with an aesthetic eye, everything does not enter my eyes, I look at General Li like this, indicating that General Li has extraordinary charm and richness, this is the highest attention I pay to the general." I smiled and shook my head, and stood with my hands in my hands, looking at the furnishings in the tent with interest. In addition to the long table in the middle, there are rows of long tables and mats on both sides, which are believed to have been set up to summon generals to participate in military meetings. In the middle, behind the long table and the marshal's seat, hangs a military topographical map of the continent of St. Lunnan, which occupies a quarter of the camp space. On each side of the map hangs a sword and a bow. The style of the sword and bow is very simple, the dark green sword with the sheath is about three feet long, the texture of the scabbard similar to the vine is wrapped around a unicorn statue, the top of the handshake on the sword handle has a magic array coat of arms inlaid with a large six small and seven sapphires from the center to the periphery, and the handshake is engraved with a beautiful "Lan" character - it seems that it was engraved later, the whole sword gives people a feeling of agility, lightness and sharpness, and the dark longbow is extremely heavy, the bow body is full of spiral textures, as if a bow is in the hand, Even the scorching sun can shoot down.

Following my gaze, Li Binglan also focused on the sword and bow, Xiumu actually had a certain pity and concentration, and then said quietly: "The sword name is 'Qilin', the bow is called 'Thorn Emperor', a sword and a bow have accompanied me through seven years of blood and fire, and have experienced countless fierce and dangerous tests, and are my most loyal friends." ”

"The famous sword 'Qilin', one of the seven great artifacts scattered by the gods in the world, legend has it that if the magic medium power of the seven gems is fully activated, it can destroy a large city or even a country in an instant!" The Assassin Emperor' is a thousand years ago in the Xiong Lun Shenglun Continent of the chief court weapon master of the Dupon Dynasty Balagatu cast, because of the blood of the demon dragon and has the magic and incredible power, the twenty-fourth generation monarch of the Dupon Dynasty, Dawliver V, was shot by a demon by the magic bow demon control and suddenly mad squire when he went out, resulting in civil strife in the kingdom, and finally was destroyed by a small country invaded by the opportunity, the name of the magic bow 'Thorn Emperor' came from this, known as the cursed hoodoo. "I'll tell you the origin of the sword and bow.

Li Binglan looked at me with strange eyes, as if she was surprised that I had a knowledge that was not commensurate with the bad reputation of the gentleman.

"But is it because the world has no basis, or is it because the people are unpredictable? General Leigh's heart is so lonely! I said lightly.

Li Binglan's delicate body trembled slightly, but she quickly calmed down and said coldly: "Alexander Beshatu Young City Lord, you are too presumptuous!" As the young city lord of Haynes, do you only have this ability to flirt with women? Do you not have the slightest sense of being an envoy in such an international diplomatic situation? Because of your disrespectful attitude towards this general, I can kill you under the 'Qilin' without hesitation!" ”

"General Li Binglan, you have lost your temper! Did what I said really shake you so much? Is it because I have spoken out the deepest longing of your heart? It's because of the secret of the heart that is said, so that you, who are famous and contemporary, carry supreme glory and pride, and are important ministers of Ferratis, do not hesitate to kill me who is defenseless? Actually, I have no disrespect for you, as a person who has a persistent pursuit of beauty and art, I observe things with my heart and eyes, so I can see the essence of your heart through the armor you are armed. Fearless of Li Binglan's threat, I said with an unchanged face, but I muttered to myself in my heart: Why does every beautiful woman I meet want to kill me? Am I inherently compatible with beautiful women?

"Besides, what is the attitude of a special envoy? Today, I no longer have the glory of the so-called young master, and what I have is the humiliation of being a slave to the country, and I will go down in history as the most dishonorable identity in the history of the repatriation envoy. And if I want to talk about the position of the special envoy, what I should do is probably to grovel and bow down to General Li, right? Is this what General Leigh called the enlightenment of the envoys? I went on coldly, "Perhaps this can be the perfect footnote to the great martial arts of General Leigh's bloodless capture of Haynes." Is this what General Leigh expected? ”

"Young Master Alexander, it was Li Binglan who lost her words, but the young master can't deny that he was erotic and ridiculous about Binglan before, right?" The frost began to disappear on Li Binglan's face, and although her words were still cold, she no longer had the killing intent she had before.

"As a man, of course, I want to appreciate the woman he likes with a man's eyes, and my attitude is just the attitude that a normal man should have towards a woman. Moreover, I am very attentive and attentive to interpreting your heart. In front of me, I saw a real and beautiful woman, not a god of war who only knew how to fight in the eyes of the world. Are you angry because your weak side as a woman is seen through? Does it make you feel embarrassed to be seen purely as a woman? Or is it the heavy burden of the 'Ice Maiden God of War' that makes you unable to face your true heart? I said softly.

Li Binglan looked at me blankly, and said quietly for a long time: "The young city lord is really a peculiar person, you have a pair of eyes that penetrate the world and a peerless mind that interprets people's hearts, why do you have the reputation of 'Huacheng crazy youth, fireworks drunkards, people who are disciples, and people who are sloppy'?" Although she did not respond to my question, she indirectly acquiesced to my opinion.

"These sixteen words are really apt, haha, I don't know that others still have such a poetic evaluation of themselves, and they are still circulating in the streets, and they have reached the ears of General Li, it seems that I am indeed famous!" I laughed.

Li Binglan shook her head and sighed: "You are really a weird person, sometimes you are a teenager, a gentleman, sometimes like a prophet with infinite wisdom and a broad vision, it is really impossible to guess!" ”

"Only great heroes can be true colors, and they are true celebrities. I'm just staying true to my nature. For me, the most interesting thing in the world is the beautiful art, and the most beautiful artwork is the beautiful woman. I asked.

"So your hobby is collecting beauties? You're so unashamed! Is it the proper attitude to treat women as objects? You're not just rude, you're just going too far, you're totally a madman who ignores female personality! Li Binglan said angrily.

"I'm just making an analogy, I treat my collection of art with the heart of a lover, for me, a beautiful woman is a priceless work of art, not only to know how to appreciate, but also to care for and cherish the heart. I think the greatest happiness of being a woman is not to wield a sword to kill the enemy and lick the bloody blade, but to be pampered and loved by the man you love, right? I can make General Leigh have the happiness that all women in the world are jealous of, and become a real woman. I said lovingly.

Li Binglan smiled and said, "Do you know a lot about women?" It's really worthy of being a 'disciple of the people, a gentleman', a lot of crooked reasoning! How old are you? Sixteen or seventeen? I can't imagine that I, Li Binglan, will have a day when I will be shown love, and I am still a hairy boy. ”

That smile melted away all the frost on Li Binglan's face, although it was still cold, but that smile was like a rich orchid, blooming in the ethereal night, exuding refreshing warmth, which made people deeply intoxicated, and made me feel like I was deep in a sweet dream and didn't want to wake up.

I looked at Li Binglan with an unusually focused gaze, and said softly: "General Li's heart is weak, otherwise why bother with him?" In the face of true love, there is no age boundary, is it really difficult for you to accept trying to fall in love with me? Do you dare not love, or do you not know love? ”

Li Binglan silently recited what I said several times, and said gloomily: "Binglan joined the army at the age of fifteen, and has experienced one hundred and sixty-seven battles in seven years, and has been in the realm of death nineteen times, and has brushed shoulders with death several times, but she has calmly killed the enemy, laughed at life and death, and was not shocked by honor and disgrace, but she has repeatedly lost her posture in front of you, lost her confidence, lost her advance and retreat, and the secrets of her heart are like being seen through by you without concealment, as if she is naked and showing the king. When she meets you today, Binglan still meets relatives and friends for many years, and she has a deep friendship with you. But it only stops there, if you want to go further, it is the limit that Binglan can't surpass, Binglan has too many involuntary bodies, too many scruples and helplessness, too many unavoidable hardships, only to meet you in the wrong time, the wrong place and the wrong age, I hope you understand. ”

I let out a long sigh, and after an embarrassing silence on both sides, I said, "Then I should fulfill my duties as a descendant, General Leigh, this is an unconditional letter of return signed by the major merchants of Hennes and signed by the lord of the city. With that, I handed the sealed scroll to Li Binglan.

Li Binglan did not take the document, but said: "I have no right to accept the surrender, I am not the commander-in-chief of this military operation, and I am not authorized to make any political representations." ”

Seeing my slightly surprised expression, Li Binglan couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "Your current expression makes me feel that I have the upper hand a little, and my frustration has only eased slightly." Hee-hee, the way you eat turtles is really funny! ”

I walked to the middle of the long table, put aside the maps and scrolls, yawned, sat lazily on the long table, supported my chin with my hand, squinted at Li Binglan who was laughing and trembling, and said, "Okay, my Lord Li Binglan!" Can you let me know what is going on? ”

After a long time, Li Binglan said faintly: "The commander-in-chief in charge of this military operation is my Royal Highness the Fourth Princess, Your Highness will not arrive until tomorrow, and I am just the main division of the advance force." ”

On the one hand, the empire had to rely on her military talents, and on the other hand, her outstanding ability and prestige and status in the Faradis army would inevitably attract the scruples of the court, and she was not a member of the royal family, so she was bound to be politically excluded, making her walk on thin ice in the political struggle and court struggle. Although I am not very interested in politics and such things, out of historical knowledge, I still have a full understanding of this kind of fact that has appeared again and again in history. Of course, these thoughts only flashed in my mind, and they were not expressed.

I just said "oh" and said, "It seems that I am going to spend the night in your army, please ask General Li to arrange a place for me, of course, if there is no place to arrange, it is also okay to be in the same tent with General Li, hold Wen Yu in your arms, and go to Wushan together." ”

"It's a beautiful idea!" Li Binglan took a sip lightly, and said solemnly: "Then please ask the eldest prince of Beishatu to be wronged in the military tent for one night, the battlefield company camp, go to the complicated and simple, and ask the eldest prince to forgive me if it is slow." ”

Lying on the bed of the tent Baisheng, listening to the cold hunting wind whistling outside the tent from time to time, although the body was tired, but the spirit was extremely excited, the beautiful figure of Yalunshi in front of me and Li Binglan's affectionate but ruthless expression were constantly intertwined, making me toss and turn and couldn't sleep. Both Aaronshi and Libinglan can bring me intense mood swings that I haven't seen before, not even my childhood sweetheart's fiancée, Kalisa, have ever made me feel this way. Kalisa is the daughter of the vice president of the Haines Chamber of Commerce and the daughter of the wealthy tea merchant Petrum Vandotia, and her relationship with her was largely facilitated by the fathers of both sides, but after many years of getting along, although I have no passion for her, I do not hate her, so I do not resist this beautiful and graceful girlfriend, but since she went to attend the famous aristocratic school of Faratis, the Royal Academy of Buchanan, I have not particularly missed her in the days when we have been together and have been separated a lot, so I think I am naturally very indifferent to people.

Since I couldn't sleep, I decided to go outside, so I put on a coat, opened the tent, and went for a walk outside the camp.

The demon moon "Night Ghost" has risen to the zenith, and through the thin clouds, the lilac moonlight spreads on the large and small tents, presenting an eerie atmosphere. When the demon moon is in the sky, it means that it is already early in the morning. The night of the Holy Continent has three moons, and the "first menarche", "centrifugal spirit" and "night charm" alternate in turn, representing the three stages of the night of the Holy Continent: the first ye, the middle night and the late night. The Shenglun continent has not always existed with three moons, it turns out that there is only one moon in the sky, and the legend is that it appeared after the battle of the gods, according to the ancient books I have read, this statement can be confirmed, because there was only one moon called "Chang'e" at that time, but due to the great changes in the ecological environment and celestial phenomena and stars of the continent after the war of the gods, there was a three-moon light miracle on the continent overnight.

Campfires were lit everywhere in the camp, flickering and flickering in the heat of the wind, just as I was in the mood. Night sentinels were scattered all over the place, probably with a special explanation from Li Binglan, which did not interfere with my movements, but closely monitored my every move.

I looked around, only to be surprised to see a graceful figure on the hillside a little far from the main camp.

My heart moved, and I walked up the hill.

"Can't you sleep too?" Li Binglan said softly, but her eyes were always staring at the distant night sky.

I didn't answer, just stood by her side. After removing the armor, Li Binglan only wore a thin cicada clothes, and under the cold wind, the thin clothes and skin were attached to the skin, and the beautiful carcass was looming, making Li Binglan full of a kind of feminine softness and charm, but under the reflection of the night and the purple moonlight, it looked strangely poignant, which made me feel a strong urge to embrace it and love it deeply, but this feeling had to be forcibly suppressed at this time.

"Not at the right time, not at the right time!" I sighed alone.

I looked at the side of her gaze, and saw nine unusually bright stars hanging below the demon moon's "Night Charm", like the blazing purple flame of the nine fires, this is the "Nine Stars of the Demon Eye", the star of disaster in the mouth of astrologers, but the appearance of the nine stars is a rare spectacle after all.

Li Binglan suddenly withdrew her gaze from afar, and turned to look at me, her face was calm, and there seemed to be a thin layer of mist in her ice-blue eyes.

"If the stars are not last night, for whom will they stand up?" Sayings from the primeval times came out of my mouth.

"I was born on the night of the demon moon and the nine stars appearing—just like this night." After Li Binglan finished speaking, don't turn around, and in a flash, I saw that the mist in her eyes had turned into tears and fell onto the dewy blades of grass at her feet.

I believed that there should be a poignant story about Libing Lan behind this, but I didn't ask any questions, just silently stood quietly with her in the night breeze, one night dew wet my mane and clothes, and the other wind whitened my lips and cheeks...... Then the morning star rises, and the East spits white.

"Thank you!" It wasn't until I returned to the camp that Li Binglan suddenly said these two words to me.

When we returned to the camp, a silver-armored knight hurriedly stopped Li Binglan and said in a panic, "General Li, something is wrong!" Her Royal Majesty's Royal Guard is attacked by the troops of the Kingdom of Dotil in the Mosaya Valley! ”
