Before nightfall, 30,000 soldiers and horses were assembled.

This is an army composed purely of Iron Bone Realm masters, a mobile and swift tiger, and the elite who were once invincible.

On horseback, An Yu was already wearing silver armor.

I still remember that this armor was given to him by his brother-in-law himself, and it was a treasure given by the emperor of the Guihai Empire in the previous generation.

"Andutong, 30,000 tiger troops are waiting for demolition!"

"All the troops are attacking!"

In the night, the army kicked up smoke and dust and filled the sky.

......

Late at night, return to the sea imperial city, the northern suburbs of the palace.

"Your Majesty, please see you if you have something to do with the saddle front. ”

A eunuch came from outside the outer palace.

The emperor put down the pen in his hand and looked at the concubine who was grinding ink beside him.

"I'm just annoyed, so I moved to the palace to live, this guy even came to bother me in the middle of the night?" The emperor's face seemed to show a little impatience.

Hearing this, the eunuch's back became more and more bent.

The eunuch said: "The marquis in front of the saddle said yes, he was in a hurry, and he had to report it." ”

The Emperor got up.

He flicked his sleeves, and then took the concubine on the side.

"I'm tired, let's talk about it tomorrow morning, let him go back first. ”

After saying that, the emperor took the concubine into the apse.

And the eunuch did not stay long, and immediately went out of the temple gate.

"Saddle Hou, please go back, don't catch a cold in the middle of the night. The eunuch said.

"What about the emperor, I'm here to see the emperor!"

"You should have understood," the eunuch paused before continuing, "In the past two years, the emperor has not wanted to see you. ”

"Is it just because of the backer's? I'm just drinking a few more glasses of wine with him and chatting a few more words of poetry!"

"Before the saddle, this problem lies in this wine and poetry. ”

The eunuch sighed.

"No, this time it's different, what I said this time has nothing to do with the backer!" said Kuramae Hou, "This matter is very important, I must ...... tonight"

"Before the saddle, the emperor has rested. ”

"Then go and wake him up!"

"Ouch," the eunuch hurriedly said, "Master Hou, you just spare us as subordinates, disturb the emperor, you are fine, my head is not enough to cut off!"

"When will the Emperor see me?"

"The emperor said, tomorrow morning. ”

"Tomorrow morning?!The daylilies are cold!This matter is related to the north......" In the middle of his words, the Marquis of Saddle suddenly paused, and then stopped, "I can't tell you about this matter, I can only let the emperor know first." ”

"Hey, Saddle Marquis, why do you bother, the emperor doesn't want to see you, why do you ......?"

"I'm not rushing for the emperor, I'm for the empire. After saying that, the marquis of the saddle knelt down, "Even if he doesn't see me all night tonight, I will wait here, just kneel and wait, and when it is dawn, I will go up with him." ”

......

Putting away the Kongtong mirror, Dongfang Shuo let out a long sigh of relief.

He leaned back on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling, a little distracted.

The army of the Guihai Empire is already on its way here.

This army of 30,000 people is not to be feared.

And then, things will develop as Dongfang Shuo expected.

Tuk-tuk.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Dongfang Shuo got up and opened the door, and it was the little girl who knocked on the door.

Dongfang Shuo looked at the sky.

"Why don't you go to sleep at such a late hour?"

"I can't sleep. ”

"Can't sleep? You've always slept alone in the past, why can't you sleep tonight?"

"I ...... I've been thinking about the daytime. ”

"What happened during the day?" Dongfang Shuo was stunned, "Don't worry, with me and Ji Henghu here, that Li Xiangyang won't come back to hurt you." ”

But at this time, the little girl shook her head.

"That's not what I meant. ”

"That's?"

"I'm thinking, Bracelet...... And the thing about my birthday. ”

She said.

Dongfang Shuo was silent for a while, and then made way for her.

"Come in. ”

So, the two sat opposite each other.

"What do you want to ask?" Dongfang Shuo said categorically.

The little girl didn't say much, so she asked bluntly: "Where did the eldest brother come from and know my birthday?"

"Is it ...... The night we stayed in the village. Dongfang Shuo said, "That night, I went to the village chief's house in Wangjia Village, and the village chief's house...... It's very neat......"

......

The moment Dongfang Shuo pushed the door open, a fishy and rotten smell came to his nose.

The furnishings of this house have long since been smashed, and apart from the four walls, nothing can be said to be intact.

He followed the door deeper into the room, and all he could feel was the dead air inside.

He came here just out of curiosity.

It's a big village, why don't even adults left?

Finally, in a corner of the house, Dongfang Shuo saw a somewhat broken but still closed door.

It was like a door that had been smashed but not opened.

Outside the door, Dongfang Shuo noticed a mark at his feet.

He wiped away a thick layer of dust, and found that along the mark, there was a crack that was not very obvious.

Dongfang Shuo's spiritual power penetrated, and he easily unlocked a very simple mechanism under this crack, so he lifted the partition along the crack.

Under the partition, there is no hole.

There was only one letter in it.

However, the partition seeped water, and the letter was already corrupted, and the name 'Erya' could only be vaguely seen written on the envelope.

When I opened it, the letter was crumpled, and the only few words I could see clearly were difficult to figure out the righteousness. So, Dongfang Shuo accepted the letter.

Then he walked to the door.

Spiritual power poured out, and he opened the door in the same way as he opened the partition mechanism.

Behind the door, there was no light, no windows.

It's like a warehouse, but there's almost nothing on the shelves, and if there is, it's just worthless rags and old things.

However, behind these things, Dongfang Shuo found a hidden box.

It's not big, but at first glance it's the most valuable of all things.

And in the box, there is a lilac Suro skirt.

There was also a letter pressed under the skirt, which was well preserved.

And the little girl's birthday came from that box, that letter.

......

"About last year, a caravan passed through our village and stayed for a few days. The little girl took the double skirt from Dongfang Shuo's hand and said, "The eldest lady of the caravan also has such a skirt, but the skirt is green, and it is like a fairy on her body." Since then, I've wanted a dress like that, but I don't have one like that in the city. ”

The little girl hugged the skirt: "Daddy said that he would give me the same dress, but he didn't lie to me...... He ......"

The little girl choked up.
