Chapter 1: Shock

Next Chapter

In the third year of Emperor Longqing, in winter, the source city of Kyoto in the Tianyuan Dynasty was quiet, and there were only a few wild dogs wandering outside on the streets late at night, and occasionally made a few dog barks when they heard the movement, opened their eyes to look around, and then lay on the ground and continued to sleep. The cat, which slept well during the day, opened its eyes energetically, vigilantly paid attention to the surrounding movements, and suddenly arched its body when it saw the mouse infested, and bit the mouse accurately.

"Woohoo!" The wild dog was alarmed by the noise not far away, and barked vigilantly, and found that it was the wild cat that was hunting, and then it quieted down.

"Meow meow!" After the wild cat was full, it licked the fur from its body gracefully, let out a satisfied cry, and ran towards the front with light movements, disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

"Quack, quack......" The crow resting in the tree suddenly screamed, as if frightened by something, fluttering its wings and flying.

"Bad luck!" The crow's cry was piercing, and it flew by, suddenly waking up the guards at the gate of Source City.

"Wake up, wake up quickly, everyone give Lao Tzu a little spirit." Zhang Laosan was shocked by the piercing cry in a daze, looked at the flocks of crows flying past the city gate, spat with a gloomy face, and turned to shout at the people around him.

"It's almost dawn, and everyone is standing up straight, be vigilant." Zhang Laosan's hoarse voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Awake, Zhang Tou'er, don't worry, the brothers are all in good spirits." A man with a relatively thin body leaning against the city wall.

"Ahh......h

Zhang Laosan looked at the yawning people in front of him, his face was a little gloomy, he raised his eyes to look at the faintly glowing sky, and his face softened a little.

"These crows are fucking obsessive." A stocky man in the team frowned.

"The place is unlucky, even the birds are some unlucky, I think we have been here for a long time, maybe it will become unlucky." Humane for tall and thin people.

"What nonsense, you are unlucky." Someone in the team complained.

"I said, brothers, do you think these nights are a little unusual, this is not the first time this crow has crowed......" The speaker looked a little cautious, listening to the crow in the distance, and fear flashed in his eyes.

"There are so many dead people in this place, it's normal for crows to crow, I just have to think of ...... that night" said a shiver here, and the faces of the others flashed with fear, I don't know what to think, everyone suddenly felt cold.

The terrible screams, the earth-shattering crying, the wails of the body being ruthlessly torn apart, the heart-wrenching shouts......

"Shut up." Zhang Laosan suddenly scolded, "If you want to live well in this world, you should take care of your mouth for Lao Tzu, and let Lao Tzu figure out what to say and what not to say, don't lose your life one day." The voice was a little stern at the end, and a heaviness flashed on his rough face.

"Zhang Tou'er is right, the brothers understand that you are for everyone's good." The tall, thin man made a closed gesture with his hands as he spoke, and the others nodded their heads along with him.

"It's finally dawn, I'll have a treat in a while, and the brothers will go for a drink together." The thin and tall man saw that the atmosphere present was a little dignified, and deliberately pulled his face away and said with a smile.

"If you want to have a treat, you have to drink the wine made by Aunt Liu, then our brothers must go." The short and fat man immediately said, and when he said the wine made by Aunt Liu, his eyes were a little salivating, and the corners of the other people's mouths couldn't help but move.

The thin and tall man's brows furrowed, this dead fat man is really good at picking, and said with distress: "Okay, just invite the brothers to drink the wine brewed by Aunt Liu herself." "Aunt Liu is a well-known brewer in Kyoto City, her family's wine is an ancestral craft, and there are several drinks sold every day, on a first-come, first-served basis, and the drinks are famous far and wide, delicious, but very expensive.

"Hehe, brothers have a good day today." Everyone laughed loudly, Zhang Laosan's face also looked a little better, the solemn atmosphere just now seemed to have never existed, everyone looked forward to it, looking forward to the sky lighting up soon, and the brothers going to drink together.

The morning star on the horizon gradually dimmed, and a faint light appeared in the sky.

"Did you hear anything?" The tall and thin man suddenly frowned.

When everyone heard the words of the tall and thin man, they all pricked up their ears to listen, Zhang Laosan looked at the dark distance, and his expression gradually became solemn, "It's the sound of horses' hooves, and there are quite a few of them." ”

After the gates of Kyoto are closed, they will never open until the time comes, and this is how many people will come at this time, and there are still a lot of people who come to hear the sound.

"Open the gates." Dozens of horses galloped in the distance, and immediately the man was dressed in black armor, and the man led by him shouted loudly, and at the same time reached out and took out something from his arms and shook it in front of Zhang Laosan and the others.

"Quick...... Fast, open ...... Open the gates. Zhang Laosan's expression changed and he said urgently.

The gates slowly opened, and the group of Pegasus drove into Kyoto and galloped in the direction of Miyagi, breaking the silence of dawn.

"Zhang Tou'er, who are they? So arrogant. The stocky man asked, puzzled. In the important place of Kyoto, even if the Tianzi guards go out of the city, they need to ask for a decree to open the door, not to mention that there is a faint smell of blood coming from the people who come, and looking at the direction they are going, it is clear where the palace is located.

Zhang Laosan said with a solemn expression: "Ink clothes and black armor, and that token, if I am not mistaken, they should be Shenwuwei." ”

"Isn't it amazing?" Thin and tall, with a puzzled expression, they are not uncommon in the two large camps in the north and south of Kyoto City, and there are also the personal guards of the Son of Heaven, no one in Kyoto City dares to break into the city gate so arrogantly.

"Shenwu Wei, that's the personal guard created by the founding emperor of our Tianyuan Dynasty, Shenwu the Great." Zhang Laosan's voice was hoarse, his brows were furrowed tightly, his expression was very solemn, speaking of Shenwu Guard, maybe few people in the Tianyuan Dynasty knew about it, but it was said that it was created by the Shenwu Emperor, and most of the people in the Tianyuan Dynasty had heard of it, although people had almost never seen this team appear.

Legend has it that this is the most brave team left by Emperor Shenwu to future generations, and it is not in troubled times that it does not appear in front of people.

In the winter of the third year of Emperor Longqing of the Tianyuan Dynasty, there was a rebellion in the sixteen states of Youyun, and then the grassland tribes outside the Saiwai suddenly invaded the border pass, and the guards abandoned the city and fled, and within three days, the five cities of the border pass were lost.

The Son of Heaven was deaf, the people were not happy, the traitors were in charge, the loyal and good were brutalized, the Tianyuan Road was in flames, and the appearance of Shenwuwei opened the prelude to more than ten years of war on the Tianyuan Road.
