In the mountains and forests not far from the garrison of the Second Route Army of the Tang Army, Shan Ximu, dressed in military uniform, was looking up at a faintly visible black dot in the sky.

Suddenly, the black dots in the sky flew down quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a divine steed black eagle and flew into the mountains and forests with a fierce wind, landing on Shan Ximu's shoulder.

Gently touched the wings of the black eagle, took out the raw meat strips wrapped in oil paper from his arms and put them in front of the black eagle, and watched it quickly eliminate those meat strips with a smile.

Looking down at Bi, Shan Ximu, who frowned slightly, looked sideways at Black Eagle's shoulder and shook slightly: "Go!" ”

Black Eagle's humanized and sharp eagle eyes glanced at Shan Ximu, raised his head and let out a loud eagle roar, directly spread his wings and flew up, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the sky, turned into a black dot, and then disappeared.

Shan Ximu, who was shocked by the strength of his hand and turned the note into shredded powder, couldn't help but turn around and casually glanced at the dense forest in the distance and said indifferently: "Since you came with me, why hide and hide?" Come out! ”

"Perception is sharp enough!" In the midst of the chuckle, a phantom flashed, and he came to the Qingyuan not far in front of Shan Ximu, turning into a moon-white brocade robe.

Shan Ximu just smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth: "What are you doing with me?" ”

"Just curious! Seeing that the big war is about to start, you, the pioneer officer, actually secretly left the barracks, which really makes me very curious! Qing Yuan looked at Shan Ximu with a smile and said, "It's really a big deal to use the Condor Messenger that can already be called a monster." Ignorance. What is written in the letter? ”

Shan Ximu said with a little amusement: "What, are you suspecting me of collaborating with the enemy?" ”

"Hey! I didn't say that. Qing Yuan waved his hand and smiled, but there was obviously a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Shan Ximu didn't explain much: "If I am a collaborator with the enemy, wouldn't it be more simply to directly pick off Xue Dingshan's head?" Su Baotong, he is not worthy of my service. ”

After speaking, Shan Ximu, who shook his head slightly, turned around and left directly.

"It's a big tone!" Looking at the back of Shan Ximu leaving, Qing Yuan couldn't help but smile and shook his head and muttered to himself: "Su Baotong is not worthy, so who is worthy?" Shan Ximu. I'm getting more and more curious about you. ”

Outside the forest, Shan Ximu, who had just come out, saw the Dala standing with his back to him.

"You kid is suspicious of you. You're not angry? If it were me, I'd kill him," Dala turned to look at Shan Ximu, and said in a cold voice with the corners of his mouth curled lightly.

Shan Ximu smiled helplessly when he heard this: "This will kill people." You're too murderous, aren't you? ”

"Humph! Luo Tong does not die. I can't hold back the killing intent in my heart," Dura snorted coldly.

"Cough" Shan Ximu was a little helpless when he saw this: "Didn't you say that you were going to meet the Northern Desert?" How did you come back again? ”

Dala was even more upset when he heard this: "Do you think I am willing to come back?" If it weren't for the teacher's life, I would never see you again. Give, the teacher gave it to you. ”

As he spoke, Dala turned over and took out a jade slip and threw it to Shan Ximu with a helpless expression.

"Teacher?" Shan Ximu, who took the jade slip, suddenly had a solemn expression, and watched the jade slip in his hand directly emanate into the jade slip. In an instant, a stream of information quickly poured into Shan Ximu's mind.

"Huh?" Shan Ximu who suddenly raised his head. Looking at Dala with some surprise: "The teacher actually wants me"

Dala pouted unhappily and said, "Don't ask me! I don't know anything. The teacher just asked me to listen to you. ”

"Alright, it's like I bullied you." Shan Ximu, who had no choice but to look at Dala, turned his hand and put away the jade and said, "The war is about to start, I can't delay outside for too long, come back to the camp with me!" ”

stomped on his heels of Shan Ximu's dara, but he muttered softly: "Bully me? Have a heart but don't have the guts! ”

Shan Ximu, who had a helpless look on his face, just didn't hear anything, and walked forward with his head bored.

Not long after the two left, Qing Yuan, who came out of the forest, looked at the direction they were leaving, and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Princess Dala? Isn't she gone? How did you come back again? Come back at this time, they"

More than 100 miles northwest of Suoyang City, on the desolate official road, a team of more than 100 people is advancing rapidly. The costume of this team is somewhat peculiar, wearing a big black robe, embroidered with a blood-colored half-moon on the robe, riding a camel, and all with cold faces, like a group of Grim Reapers, who have come out of hell.

At the front of this team, three horsemen walked side by side. In the middle is a cold woman riding a blood-colored hump camel, scantily dressed, only the towering crisp breasts on the upper body are tightly restrained by the leather black corset, revealing the white shoulders and jade arms and sexy lower abdomen, and a light sarla shirt as thin as cicada wings can not hide the moving style at all.

To the right of the glamorous woman was a person who was also riding a blood-colored hump-backed camel and shrouded in a black robe, with a blood-colored full moon behind him that was extremely strange, and the slightly exposed thin and wrinkled chin showed that this person should be an old man.

On the left side of the glamorous woman was a handsome young man in a dark golden brocade robe and riding a horse. The young man who looked heroic and handsome, but his eyes were implied with ferocity, and his eyes flickered with a fierce gaze. This young man was Li Luanhu, who was injured by Shan Ximu and rescued by his teacher Golden Axe Tianzun.

"Little Lord, this place should not be far from Suoyang City," the cold woman smiled at Li Luanhu with a charming smile.

Li Luanhu also looked at the cold woman with a glittering look in his eyes and said with a smile: "This time, the princess has traveled thousands of miles to help Luanhu. When the danger of Suoyang City is relieved and I see His Majesty the Emperor, I will ask for credit for Her Royal Highness the Princess. When the time comes, His Majesty the Emperor will inevitably be friendly with Xiyue Kingdom for generations. ”

"Then Yuexi will thank you little prince!" The cold woman nodded.

Li Luanhu said boldly: "With a gesture, Princess Yuexi doesn't have to be polite. ”

"My Xiyue Kingdom is a small country on the western border, and I have always admired the Tang Dynasty Khan. If you can make friends with the Tang Dynasty and get the protection of the Tang Dynasty, Yuexi is willing to ask her father to write to the Tang Emperor and marry Yuexi to the little prince, so as to show my sincerity in making friends with the Tang Dynasty in Xiyueguo. Princess Yuexi said and looked at Li Luanhu with beautiful eyes, with a charming smile on her face, without a trace of shyness.

Li Luanhu was stunned when he heard it. Xuan Wei's excited face turned red, and he said in a panic: "Her Royal Highness the princess is wrong to love, Xiao Wang"

"Doesn't the little prince like Yuexi?" Princess Yuexi asked playfully with a smile on her face.

When Li Luanhu heard this, he hurriedly said, "No! Princess, Xiao Wang likes princesses! Since the first time he saw Her Royal Highness the Princess in the Xiyue Kingdom, Xiao Wang has been overwhelmed by Her Royal Highness the Princess's demeanor. If he can marry Her Royal Highness the Princess in this life, Xiao Wang swears that there will only be one wife in this life. ”

"Oh?" Princess Yuexi, who raised her eyebrows slightly, her charming eyes flashed slightly: "Is this true? ”

Li Luanhu hurriedly said: "Of course! Xiao Wang is willing to swear! ”

"Giggles! The little prince doesn't have to be in a hurry. Of course I believe in the little prince," Princess Yuexi couldn't help but smile when she saw Li Luanhu's anxious appearance.

Li Luanhu, who seemed to be relieved when he heard this. also smiled happily.

On the side, the black-robed mysterious man who had been riding a camel silently raised his head to reveal a pale and thin old face, and glanced at Li Luanhu with a pair of cold eyes as cold as the cold moon with a hint of blood. A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. The corners of his mouth quietly hooked up a sneering arc.

"That's right, little prince! I heard you say that the commander of the Second Route Army of the Imperial Court this time is Xue Dingshan, the son of Xue Rengui, a famous marshal of the Tang Dynasty, and he still has many capable people under him. We, like us, will definitely not be able to compete with Su Baotong's hundreds of thousands of troops, and we still need the imperial army as the main force, and we will act as a surprise soldier. However, should we contact Xue Dingshan first? Princess Yuexi asked with a smile.

Li Luanhu snorted coldly when he heard this. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes: "That Xue Ding Mountain has long regarded me as a thorn in the eye." This. I was forced to leave the army, and he couldn't get out of it. If we contact him, I'm afraid that we won't have a chance to make meritorious contributions. Although there are few of us, we are all elite masters brought by Her Royal Highness the Princess. We are a strange army, and if we play well, we will be able to show our faces in front of His Majesty the Emperor. There is also a difference in merit. The key depends on how to make this contribution. ”

"Oh? I don't understand a little, and I ask the little prince for advice! Princess Yuexi asked with a smile in her eyes.

Li Luanhu smiled when he heard this, and said with a little self-confidence: "Her Royal Highness the Princess"

In Suoyang City, in the temporary palace where Emperor Li Zhi lived, Li Zhi, who was frowning, was walking back and forth a little restlessly.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much! With Xu Junshi and the generals guarding the city, the Soviet army can't take it after attacking for so many days, and it doesn't hurt today," the eunuch on the side said cautiously.

Li Zhi, who stopped, frowned and looked at the eunuch and reprimanded, "What do you know? ”

"The slave is stupid and can't share the emperor's worries!" The eunuch hurriedly bowed his head and said.

"Are you worried about me?" Li Zhi couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "If you want to share your worries for me, what's the use of those Wenchen generals who are really raised?" also blamed me for being careless, urging Marshal Xue to march and falling for the empty city plan of the Su thieves. ”

While speaking, Li Zhi couldn't help gritting his teeth and sighing with some regret.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and Zhou Qing, one of the six imperial generals who were in charge of guarding Li Zhi, came in and saluted Li Zhi on one knee: "Your Majesty, Xu Junshi asks to see you!" ”

"Please! What else? Li Zhi frowned and said angrily.

Zhou Qing, who answered, hurriedly got up and went out.

Soon, Xu Maogong, who looked a little haggard, walked in quickly.

"Xu Aiqing, how's it going? How was the offensive of the Soviet troops? Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly greeted Xu Maogong and stretched out his hand to stop him from wanting to salute, and hurriedly asked.

Xu Maogong, who still insisted on making a salute, said at the same time: "The emperor can rest assured! Although the Soviet offensive was fierce, it was still able to resist. The Second Route Army has arrived, and it is believed that the Soviet army will soon be attacked. It is precisely because of this that the Soviet army is so desperate to break through Suoyang City. ”

"Xu Aiqing, you said last night that the Second Route Army had arrived, but you haven't seen a single figure until now. What the hell is this Xue Dingshan? Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned and said dissatisfied.

When Xu Maogong heard this, he said: "Your Majesty! The speed at which the Second Route Army arrived was not slow. However, the army was exhausted and the soldiers were tired. If you rashly fight against the Soviet army, I am afraid that you will not be able to take advantage of it. The Second Route Army is almost here, but it must be prepared to fight the Soviets with all its might. And, it also gives us some time to prepare. When the two-way army comes, the inside and the outside should be combined. When the time comes, the Soviet army will be defeated! ”

"Then Xu Aiqing sees when Xue Dingshan will be able to kill?" Li Zhi asked again with a slight expression.

Xu Maogong affirmed: "Your Majesty, rest assured! No accident, Dingshan will arrive today! ”

"Good!" When Li Zhi heard this, his eyes lit up: "I have been trapped for a few months, this time. I can finally raise my eyebrows once. When the Second Route Army arrives, I will personally go to the city to watch the battle, one is to boost morale, and the other is to see if this Xue Ding Mountain is really a father! ”

When Xu Maogong heard this, he couldn't help but say with joy on his face: "The emperor is wise! ”

"Alright, no need to slap my ass!" Li Zhi said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing, I still have to work hard for you and urge all the soldiers to defend the city." But don't let anything happen. If the Soviets had broken through Suoyang City before Dingshan arrived, I am afraid that I would really have become a turtle in an urn. ”

When Xu Maogong heard this, he immediately knelt down in fear: "Your Majesty." As long as the ministers still have a breath, they will never let the emperor be hurt in the slightest. ”

"I know! Okay, Xu Aiqing, please get up! Li Zhi smiled with relief and stretched out his hand to help Xu Maogong.

Xu Maogong, who got up. He arched his hand to Li Zhizhengse and said, "Your Majesty." If the ministers really can't hold Suoyang City, they will definitely go all out to escort the emperor to break through. Even if he dies in battle until only the last soldier remains, he will not let the emperor fall into the hands of the traitor Su Baotong. ”

"I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even if I die, I will not fall into the hands of thieves," Li Zhi also said Zhengrong.

"Your Majesty!" When Xu Maogong heard this, his eyes turned red with emotion: "Old minister"

Li Zhi smiled: "Xu Aiqing, you are all weak and incompetent, right?" Haha, my son of the Li family. What flows is the iron blood of the former emperor, how can there be a reason to be greedy for life and afraid of death? I am the son of the Heavenly Khan. How can you be afraid of the so-called generalissimo of a small state? ”

"Your Majesty!" Xu Maogong looked at Li Zhi, and was a little excited for a while, not knowing what to say.

Facing Li Zhi with a calm smile on his face, in the end, Xu Maogong just silently arched his hand to him, and then turned to leave.

Looking at the rickety back of Xu Maogong's departure, Li Zhi sighed lightly with a complicated color in his eyes: "These loyal ministers and good generals left to me by my father are all old!" The future of Datang is slowly unable to rely on them. ”

In a water pavilion not far from Li Zhi's residence, it looked empty, but in fact, two figures were quietly standing side by side, it was Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er.

"I didn't expect this Li Zhi to have such a strong side," Hu Ling'er shook his head slightly.

Chen Hua smiled calmly: "Li Zhi was born in the royal family and has not experienced any major twists and turns. Now that I have been trapped in Suoyang City for several months, I should have thought a lot, understood a lot, and gained a lot. ”

"Suoyang City!" Saying that, Chen Hua, who looked around, couldn't help but say: "The city of Suoyang, the land of trapped dragons!" Lingling, do you know why this place is called Suoyang City? ”

Hu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "I haven't studied it, how do I know how the name of Suoyang City came about?" Brother Hua, listen to what you mean, you seem to know very well? ”

"Locking the sun and locking the yang is to lock the qi of heaven and earth to the yang. Why do you want to lock in the qi of heaven and earth to the sun? Chen Hua asked himself and said slowly: "That's because this Suoyang City is originally a place where yin and evil gather. Underground, there is a sinister leyline. Build a city here and gather yang energy to suppress the yin and evil energy of the earth's leylines. Yin and Yang have naturally formed an excellent feng shui pattern, making Suoyang City an important Dacheng in Xiliang, with great prosperity and popularity. ”

When Hu Ling'er heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up: "Oh, I understand!" The emperor is the true dragon son of heaven, with the energy of the world's sunshine. When he came to this Suoyang City, the yang energy was too strong, but this Suoyang City couldn't be locked. Yang Qi leaks out, but Yin Qi has an opportunity. The yin and evil qi of the earth veins is too strong, but it suppresses the emperor's true yang qi. In this way, it has become a trap for the dragon. Brother Hua, could it be that Su Bao had already seen the feng shui luck here? ”

"Not bad!" Chen Hua nodded and said, "But it's a pity! The imperial army's expedition to the west brought some grain and grass with the army, coupled with the sturdiness of Suoyang City, Su Baotong made himself a hard bone to gnaw. In the end, it's still shooting yourself in the foot! ”

Hu Ling'er seemed to be aware of it and couldn't help but say: "Brother Hua, it seems that the yin and evil leylines under this Suoyang City are"

"Noticed?" Chen Hua smiled: "Let's go, let's go and see!" ”

As he spoke, as the surrounding space fluctuated slightly, the figures of Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er disappeared into the pavilion.

In the depths of Suoyang City's underground, in the darkness, a faint dark red color emerged.

In the slight spatial fluctuations, Chen Hua and Hu Ling'er appeared.

"Huh? Here" Hu Ling'er, who frowned slightly, looked up at the front, and suddenly her pretty face changed slightly.

I saw that in the dimness, the vast dark red color was faintly visible in front of me, like the color of blood, like the fog rippling, like blood and water, mighty, like a blood-colored river spreading, and even a faint bloody breath could be smelled, and a cold and bloody atmosphere spread.

"How can this have such a heavy bloody aura? Could it be Hu Ling'er, who was muttering to herself, her pretty face was a little ugly: "Su Baotong!" He was so desperate that he let the soldiers desperately attack Suoyang City, but he wanted to gather these bloody qi. ”

Chen Hua on the side shook his head slightly and said, "Su Baotong probably doesn't know the existence of this place." ”

"I don't know?" Hu Ling'er couldn't help frowning and looked at Chen Hua: "Brother Hua, if you don't know, what is he fighting in Suoyang City for?" ”

Chen Hua couldn't help but shake his head and asked, "Lingling, think about it, there are so many bloody qi here, how many people need to die to gather it?" How many people have died in the siege of Suoyang City now? ”

"This" Hu Ling'er suddenly came back to her senses when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Brother Hua, you mean that this place has existed a long time ago?" The Yin Evil Leyline will never actively absorb the blood and evil qi, so there is only one explanation here, and that is artificial formation. What exactly are the people who do this for? ”

"Follow me!" Chen Hua didn't say much, said indifferently, and took Hu Ling'er to fly forward quickly along the bloody river of blood, but without a trace of strong wind, quietly, just the void where he passed fluctuated slightly.

After a short time, the two of them approached the place where the blood evil qi of the blood river was the strongest, and they saw that in the thick blood mist, there was a blood-colored crystal high platform in the blood river, and a vague figure could be faintly seen sitting on it.
