In the territory of the country of the dark water, on the mountain of forgetting worries. An old man and a young man were sitting casually on a large bluestone. The old man is about eighty or ninety years old, wearing a red gold glass hat on his head, wearing a green lion python robe, and carved flame boots on his feet.

The young man was sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a bronze crown, long hair draped behind his head, and although he was only wearing a black cloth robe, he also had a chic style. The young man was handsome and his eyes were clear, but the coldness in the depths of his eyes was a little confusing.

The young man looked at the old man and said disdainfully: "I said master, your outfit is too ostentatious, it makes me dazzle." ”

"Little rabbit cub, after following the teacher for so many years, he is still so informed, and he has not grown at all. The old man cocked Erlang's legs, obviously not very satisfied with the apprentice's ridicule.

"It's really strange that with your old virtue, it turned out to be the former marshal of our Stygian Water. The boy shook his head, thoughtful.

A look of surprise flashed in the old man's lazy eyes, and then he was relieved, this little apprentice has not been with him for the longest, but he is the most talented, and it is not strange for him to see it. He tore at the branch and threw it on the apprentice, laughing and scolding.

"Good boy, I taught in vain, so respectful of the teacher, tell me how do you know?"

"It's very simple, at that time in Nanzhao, your old man was chased and killed by the Red Eagle Killer Organization because he peeked at Prince Jing's concubine taking a bath, and I have only escaped so far!"

At the mention of this section, the young man couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily: "Your apprentice, I, almost lost my life there, how do you tell me to respect my teacher?"

The old man's face flushed, pressed the brim of his hat, coughed dryly, and muttered, "I was doing it for..."

"Don't tell me it's for the good of your family and country!"

"Bastard boy, isn't the old man just for us to spy on the enemy. ”

The young man looked at the old man's denial and annoyance, and he didn't feel funny, thinking of the news that Yan Zhengxing secretly told him that day, he stood up, crossed his waist with his left hand, pointed to the pine and cypress in front of him with his right hand, learned the tone of the prince, and scolded:

"The face of the dignified Styx has been lost to this dead old man, what kind of bullshit Stygian Army Soul, just a completely fucking nasty embryo, and it will only be a few years before he comes back! If this old guy hadn't been expelled by the Styx thirty years ago, this king would have started a war with the Styx Shui a long time ago!"

"What a Stygian Army soul who understands the righteousness of the country, my master, Lord King's Landing. The young man gestured at the old man, full of playful tone, but there was more puzzlement in his eyes.

"Well, this... You kid don't understand, don't talk nonsense. King's Landing leaned slightly, trying to fool him by.

"Why do you peek at people taking a shower?"

"That's not the point!"

"Who else have you seen?"

"Nope!"

"Why were you hunted down by the Dustless Emperor that time?"

"I don't know!"

"Where is the main gate of Tianji Palace?"

"Facing north. ”

"Which hall is Concubine Nalan in?"

"Heng Wu Palace. ”

"How many times have you peeked at it?"

"Three times. ”

"Isn't it pretty?"

"Tsk, that's good. King's Landing squinted at a lewd expression, clearly reminiscing.

"Look... How can I believe you?" the young man spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

King's Landing realized that he had been fooled, and bounced up from the ground with a whoosh, his old face turned red, and he scolded: "Bastard boy, your wings are stiff, don't you, dare to interrogate as a teacher!

"What are you going to do?" said the boy, not to be outdone.

There was nothing the King's Landing could do with this little apprentice, looking at the arrogant appearance, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "The old man wants to take in the apprentice again, you give me an early roll down the mountain!"

"Okay, master, take care of your old man!" the young man clenched his fists to his chest, bowed down, and walked down the mountain.

"Hey, Ah Yan, you're really not afraid!"

"Anyway, you don't want me anymore, let me fend for myself. The young man pretended to sigh, and muttered in his heart: This old man, his tone is really tight, and he can't say anything, since he said that he wants to leave, it is better to simply order, and it is not interesting to come with an old man.

It turned out that ten days ago, Chu Feiyan unexpectedly reunited with King's Landing who was in a hurry to go south, and King's Landing was covered in injuries at that time, and he was almost only breathing.

When he learned of the destruction of Guangling City and the death of Tsing Yi, the old man only said: "After all, I am the one who bears her." Then he sat there without saying a word, and for two whole days did not eat a drop of water.

It wasn't until a few days later that King's Landing finally regained its senses, and with decades of sharp intuition, it had a hunch that the Stygian waters were in a very dangerous situation. The master and apprentice had discussed this separation ten days ago, and King's Landing was going to find out some things, and ordered Chu Feiyan to return to Yangcheng to find Xie Yun.

From Chu Feiyan as an innocent and ignorant little doll to a handsome young man now, the master and apprentice have been together for more than ten years, and they don't know when they will see each other again. In the face of the unprecedented clouds of war, neither side is sure about this trip, and both are deeply worried about the other.

It's just that the two of them are not people who drag mud and water, and they forget the jokes on the mountain, but they are just chatting to relieve the sadness in their hearts and the sorrow of parting.

Watching the apprentice walk down the mountain without looking back, King's Landing scolded in his heart: What a ruthless boy, I don't know who this resolute heart looks like.

Although he complained in his heart, he couldn't help but shout at the bottom of the mountain: "If you can't do anything, it's better to save your life and hide away for me." ”

Chu Feiyan waved his hand behind him, signaling that he understood, and there was no need to worry.

Seeing that the apprentice was still calm, King's Landing continued to advise: "It's really not good, you can report the name of the old man, the old man's false name should... It should still be a bit of a deterrent. "In the end, I don't have much confidence.

When Chu Feiyan heard this, his eyes were slightly red, and he turned around and said angrily: "You dead old man, you have been a sinner in the dark water for 30 years, and you can use your name to be a fart! You can't even save your sweetheart, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it's like parting with life and death, remember to save my life is the right thing, I owe me so much wine money and haven't paid it back, don't think about it!"

After that, Chu Feiyan jumped down forty or fifty zhang, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jun Lin looked at the bottom of the mountain from afar, knowing that Chu Feiyan had indeed left, his lazy expression suddenly became sad and solemn, and sighed: "The silly boy is still angry, but after all, this time is different from the past, I am often worried about my life, and I am not sure that I will retreat with my whole body, so how can I burden you to die." ”

Anyone hearing King's Landing's words would be jaw-dropping. The Soul of the Stygian Water Army, that is the top ten super masters in the entire Apayasu Continent, if he wants to escape, who in the world can stop him? What kind of dangerous place is he going?

King's Landing dodged to the top of the mountain, suddenly spitting out a large mouthful of black blood, and his face was as white as paper. The old man looked at the gray clouds, where there seemed to be a cyan figure.

"Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi!" King Landing stretched out his hand and muttered, old tears in his eyes. After Chu Feiyan left, the remorse and pain in his heart finally broke out at this moment.

The Stygian is located at the western end of the Amaterasu Continent, and Yangjo is the largest city in the southeast of the Amaterasu, bordering Amaterasu Province to the east, and you can reach the center of Amaterasu Province - Dadu 300 miles to the east.

To the south, it is adjacent to the Chiyan Kingdom, and the two countries have a feud with each other, but fortunately, there is a huge mountain range between the two countries, which is actually a natural barrier.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, so the geographical location of Yangcheng is extremely important, and people who are not trusted by the emperor must not take on this heavy responsibility. And Xie Yun has been the commander of the south and the lord of Yangcheng for thirty years, which shows his grace and his extraordinary wisdom and ability.

Xie Yun stood in the city tower, after reading the message he had just received, he frowned and then breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes had become firm. Since yesterday evening, when all parties confirmed the news of the death of the Dustless Emperor, he has stayed awake all night. Because a difficult choice was placed in front of him, to attack or not to attack?

Xie Yun has long been well aware of the general trend of the world, and the Northern Snow Shadow Country has a small territory, and it has always been at odds with the countries of the Central Plains, so it is not a problem.

Nanzhao is far away at the southern end of the Amaterasu continent, and there is a big river between the northern countries, although the territory is vast, but the current Nanzhao king is indifferent, has no ambition to fight for hegemony, only wants to be in the south of the Yangtze River.

Only the three kingdoms of Stygian Water, the eastern (Yuezhao, Yuelin, and Yuexi) and the Red Flame Kingdom in the south have the strength to compete for hegemony. Among the five countries, the dark water is the strongest, followed by the moonlight, the strength of the moon and Chiyan is equal, and the moon is slightly weaker.

Using the natural danger and a small number of troops, it is completely possible to keep Chiyan out of the Heavenly Forsaken Mountain Range, and the three eastern kingdoms have been at odds with each other for a long time, even if they join forces to compete with the Stygian Water, the Stygian Water will not fall into disadvantage in a short period of time.

And as long as Xie Yun takes the lead in attacking the central capital, and then waits for reinforcements, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, they can enter the Amaterasu command the world, and if they buy the hearts of the people over time, they will slowly plan it, and the overall situation of the world will be determined!

And Yangcheng is only 300 miles away from Zhongdu, and it can be reached in three days. If all the troops in the south are to attack, Xie Yun is sure to take the Zhongdu that has lost the Dustless Emperor in one day!

Right now, Xie Yun is facing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, although there is a risk, but no matter how you look at it, this move has a great chance of success. Xuantianzheng, the Emperor of the Dark Water, once gave Xie Yun great autonomy, and in case of emergency, he could make decisions on his own, which can be said to be the general trend of the world between his thoughts.

Rational analysis told Xie Yun that this battle was absolutely feasible. But his intuition told him that this trip was very risky, and in terms of subjective will, Xie Yun did not want to go to war with Amaterasu at this moment.

After all, the Dustless Emperor had just died, and his bones were not cold, and for that earth-shattering figure, Xie Yun had a respect in his heart.

However, at present, the military situation is urgent, and the ten lieutenant generals under him are unanimously in favor of storming Zhongdu. In this troubled era, the border soldiers are bloody and defend the frontier, and the day is not safe, who does not want to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield as soon as possible, and leave their names in the annals of history, although they die without hatred.

Even if he is full of words, he can't go against the will of the people because of his ethereal intuition, and Xie Yun also knows that he doesn't want to be the first to attack because there are too many personal emotions mixed in it, which really shouldn't be.

Everyone was waiting for his decision, and he was waiting, waiting for instructions that might come from the imperial capital, and if the message was a few moments late, he didn't know if he would risk his life.

And there is only one line of small words in Fang Cai's letter, which is written by Xuan Tianzheng himself: "Looking at the marshal's immortal achievements, I raise a glass and look forward to mutual encouragement with you." ”

This move did not surprise Xie Yun's expectations, although Xuan Tianzheng said politely, but the mood of impatience has already jumped on the paper, try to ask which emperor does not want to achieve eternal fame, Xie Yun has made up his mind, Fang wants to pass the order, and suddenly heard the guard come to report.

"Sir, there is a young man in the city who asks to see him, saying that there is an urgent military situation to report. ”

Xie Yun was slightly shocked in his heart, the defense of Yangcheng and even the surrounding towns was built by him, and any wind and grass within a radius of dozens of miles could not escape his eyes, how could someone easily break into the city and not know it?

So he walked quickly to the head of the city, and sure enough, he saw a young man standing below, and his face changed after only a quick glance.
