Chapter 1164: Strive for the top
That Tang Zhaozong almost wanted to break his head, but when he sent troops to that Tang Zhangwei, he still always had the upper hand, so that Tang Zhaozong wanted to rely on the so-called conspiracy to deal with that Tang Zhangwei, but Empress He advised that Tang Zhaozong that it was better not to do this.
That Tang Zhaozong didn't listen, he said: "Our overall view is actually good, I really don't understand, why did we fall into such a field, we shouldn't be chased and beaten by that Tang Zhangwei." ”
Empress He said: "Perhaps, it is too much of us who do it ourselves, and we should add some blood to our troops." That way, we can get them to do things to us. ”
Tang Zhaozong said: "We have a generation difference with that Tang Zhangwei's weapon, we feel sad when we talk about it, many times, our soldiers are still fighting with the enemy with spears and Tang Mo knives, but they have already used trebuchets for that enemy, and sometimes when we are fighting with the enemy, we will also encounter the enemy using that explosive." ”
At first, Tang Zhangwei's explosives were mainly used to open mines, and later Tang Zhangwei and his family used these weapons as sharp weapons to destroy the city wall.
Empress He knew that it would be difficult to deal with those enemies, but she still encouraged that Tang Zhaozong to do his best and obey the destiny of heaven.
That Tang Zhaozong believed that it was the heavens, and that Empress He simply cleared up a special mage to deal with those villains who were against her.
That Empress He relied on her own ability to get a lot of advanced weapons. Which city are we on the north side of the route?! ”
"Candytown, of course," the fisherman looked at them suspiciously.
"Oh!" Bai Wushu said. He smiled faintly and turned to Tang Zhaozong. "I told you, we're uh- we're not too far from where we're going,"
"Don't we?" Tang Zhaozong replied with wide eyes.
"Oh, we don't," Empress Ho bumped him with her elbow, and he quickly replied. "yes, I think I'm wrong again, as usual. You know mine, white, I never remember—"
"Don't be too exaggerated in acting!" The White Hun nobleman lowered his voice and said, and Tang Zhaozong immediately stopped.
Bai Cunxiao glanced at everyone, "You guys are really weirdos," he said. "You don't remember how you crashed the ship. Now you don't even know where you are. I'm sure you're all drunk, but it has nothing to do with me. If you are going to listen to my advice, whether you are sober or drunk, never set foot on the boat again. David, bring the carriage over. ”
Bai Cunxiao gave them one last look in disgust, carried his youngest son on his shoulders, and went back to work. His eldest son had disappeared, and he was supposed to go and drive the carriage over.
Bai Wushu sighed and looked back at his friends.
"Do any of you know how we got here?" He asked quietly.
"Or why are we dressed like this?"
Tang Zhaozong's face was ugly, and he said. Then he felt Empress He holding his hand, and he looked down at her. The expression on his face softened. "I remember—"
She muttered.
"I also remember a few things," Bai Wushu looked at Hu Duoduo seriously. "But it's all fragments, and none of them can be pieced together clearly. Well, there's no point in looking back, we have to look forward. We've got to go to Candytown and see what's going on over there. I don't even know what day it is! So—"
"Golden Continent," Tang Zhaozong said, "let's go to the Golden Continent." ”
"Let's take a look," Bai Wushu said with a sigh. David returned in a lean horse-drawn carriage. The half-Tang nobles looked back at Tang Zhaozong. "Are you sure you want to find your brother?" He asked quietly.
Tang Zhaozong did not answer.
The group arrived at Candytown in the morning.
"What happened?" When David drove the carriage into the city gate, Bai Wushu asked.
"What kind of celebration is this?"
The streets were crowded with people, and most of the shops were closed. Many people stood together in groups and whispered to each other.
"It looks like it's more like a funeral," Mr. Tang said. "Someone important must have died."
"Or war," Bai Wushu muttered. Women are sobbing, men are showing regret or anger on their faces, and children are standing dumbfounded, looking at their parents in fear.
"It can't be war, sir," replied David, "it's been two days since the celebration of the vernal equinox.
Not sure what happened. Wait, I can help you out," he put the horse on, yes," Bai Wushu said hurriedly.
"I'll stop over here, it's a fish market," David jumped out of the carriage, "they'll know." ”
"We'll go with you." Bai Wushu used gestures to tell everyone to get out of the car.
"What's the big news?" David shouted at a group of men and women standing in front of a fishy shop. Several people immediately turned around, and everyone rushed to speak. Bai Wushu followed behind him, no matter how hard they tried, it would be difficult for everyone to make these people confide in strangers, especially after seeing them wearing such gorgeous clothes.
Once again, they thanked David for sending them to the city, and then let him talk to his friends. After a few moments of discussion, they decided to head to the market and try to figure out what was going on. The crowd grew denser, and later on, they even had to push the people around them away to move forward. People run around, ask about the latest rumors, and shake their heads in disappointment. Sometimes they see residents with their luggage on their backs, hurrying towards the city gates.
"We should buy some weapons." Tang Zhaozong said with a solemn face. "That doesn't sound good. Guess who this golden general is! People seem to value this guy very much, and his disappearance seems to have made everyone confused. ”
"Maybe it's some Golden Continent knight," Bai Wushu said. "You're right, we really should buy weapons." He put his hand on his belt. "Damn! I just had a whole bag of strange old gold coins, now gone! Aren't our troubles enough? ”
"Wait!" Tang Zhaozong groped for his belt. "What the hell! Damn it! My wallet was still there! The warrior hurriedly turned around and saw a small figure disappearing into the crowd, still holding a tattered leather bag. Hey! It's you! That's my stuff! Tang Zhaozong yelled, he pushed the crowd away and pounced on the thief. Reaching out, he grabbed the thief's vest and lifted him off the street.
Tang Zhaozong put him down in surprise. Empress He looked around in surprise. "White invincible!" He saw the half-Tang nobles walking out of the crowd and immediately shouted. "Oh, Bai is invincible," Hu Scalper said as he galloped towards his old friend, tears streaming uncontrollably.
The inhabitants of Candytown crowded from the city walls and looked out of the city. It was only a few days ago that they had done the same thing, but at that time it was to watch the knight and the silver dragon and the golden dragon enter the city, and Xin Qian was excited at that time. Now they were silent, and their faces were full of despair. They watched as the sun slowly rose to the very center of the sky. It was almost noon, and they waited quietly.
Bai Wushu stood beside Huo Zibo, his hand resting on the shoulder of the nobleman of the Ding Ling clan. The White Hun nobles almost broke down with joy when they saw their friends.
It was a sad reunion. Huo Zibo and Bai Cunxiao lowered their voices and took turns intermittently telling them what had happened after they left Tarsis a few months ago. When one person says there is no way to continue, the other continues. Therefore, everyone learned about the discovery of the Dragon Slayer Spear, the destruction of the Dragon Ball, and the murder of Bai Cunxiao.
Bai Wushu lowered his head, this news made him very sad. For a moment, he couldn't imagine what the world would be like without this noble friend. Huo Zibo saw Bai Wuxian's sadness, and continued to choke up about Bai Cunxiao's greatest victory and the peace he finally got after his death.
"He's a hero of the Golden Continent now," Huo Zibo said. "His deeds have become legends, like Shuma. His sacrifice saved the Knights, at least that's what the legend says. That's enough for him, white invincible. ”
The half-Tang nobleman nodded wordlessly. Then try to smile, "Go ahead," he said. "Tell me what Catherine did when she arrived in the Golden Continent. Is she still over there? If so, we'd like to go there—"
Huo Zibo and Hu Huang Niu exchanged glances, the nobles of the Ding Ling clan lowered their heads, and the nobles of the Rui Beast Islands turned their heads and wiped their little noses with a handkerchief.
"How?" Bai Wushu found that his voice was different from before. "Tell me."
Huo Zibo slowly finished the story. "I'm sorry, Bai Invincible," the Ding Ling nobleman sobbed, "I let her down—"
The white Hun nobles began to sobb sadly, making Bai Wushu also feel heartache. He hugged his old friend, trying to share his pain.
'It's not your fault, Huo Zibo," his voice was hoarse. "If it's anyone's fault, it's probably my fault. She risked her life for me. “
"Blame anyone, and in the end it will be blamed on the gods," the White Hun nobleman patted Bai Invincible on the shoulder. "This is the saying of my people."
Bai Wushu didn't feel any better. "When is the Dark Maiden coming?"
"Noon," Hu Scalper whispered.
It was almost noon now, and Bai Wushu stood on the city wall along with the other residents of Candy Town waiting for the arrival of the Dark Maiden. Gilsenas deliberately stayed away from Bai Invincible, and pulled to say that a terrifying sight appeared on the horizon. Because it was so amazing that no one wanted to believe it was true at first, and everyone thought they were crazy. But as that thing floats closer and closer, they have to admit that it's real! The horror of this thing is still there.
For the first time, the people on Claes saw the invincible war machine of Eriakath: the Flying Fortress.
The Confucian scholars of the Tang Dynasty and the priests of darkness worked hard under the temple of St. Kexian, digging up a castle by the roots and making it float in the sky. Now, it floats above the dark clouds, lightning illuminates its dark surface, and the fortress floats above Candytown, obscuring the midday sun and letting the shadows of terror fall over the city.
People ran down the walls in fear. The fear of dragons has left the city's inhabitants in despair and panic. But the fortress did not attack. Wait three weeks, their master commanded. They would give three weeks to these frightened humans. During this time, they will be constantly watching, and the Tang nobles and cavalry will not continue to win on the battlefield.
Bai Wushu turned to look at the other companions, all of whom looked at the floating fortress with vacant eyes. They had become accustomed to the fear of dragons, and did not flee in fear like the rest of Candytown's inhabitants. Therefore, they were the only ones left above the city walls.
"Three weeks," Bai said clearly, his friends turned to face him.
For the first time since they had left Furosam, there was no longer that self-reproachful sadness on his face. There was only tranquility in his eyes, just like the peace Huo Zibo saw in his eyes after Bai Cunxiao's death.
"Three weeks," Bai Wushu said in a calm voice that made Huo Zibo creepy, "we have three weeks. That should be enough time. I'm going to Nairaka, I'm going to look after the darkness. His eyes fell on Hu Duoduo, who was standing quietly beside him. You will also come with me. ”
Hu Duoduo's eyes widened in fear. "Don't!" He wailed and ducked back. Tang Zhaozong saw that he was about to escape, and immediately grabbed him with his thick arms.
"You have to go with me to Naraka," Bai Invincible said softly, "or I'll hand you over to Girsenas now." That guy loves his sister a lot. If he thinks he can set her free, he won't hesitate to hand you over to the Dark Queen. You and I both know it's useless. Even handing you over won't change anything. But he didn't know. He is a Tang Dynasty aristocrat, and he believes that she will keep her promise. ”
Hu Duoduo stared at Bai Wushu wearily. "Won't you hand me over?"
"I want to find out what happened," Bai Wushu said coldly, without answering the question directly. "Either way, I need a guide, someone who knows the place well......"
Hu Duoduo broke free of Tang Zhaozong's hands and looked at them helplessly. "I'm willing to go," he said reluctantly. 'Don't hand me over to the Tang nobles......"
"No problem," Bai Wushu said coldly. "Stop crying. I'm leaving before dark, and I still have a lot of things to attend to—"
He turned suddenly, not surprised that a pair of strong hands grabbed him. "Tang Zhaozong, I know what you're going to say." Bai Wushu did not turn back. The answer is no. Hu Duoduo and I have to go alone. ”
"Then you are also preparing to die alone," Tang Zhaozong said quietly, insisting on not letting go.
"If so, that's my choice, too!" Bai Wushu couldn't break free from the big man's hand.
"I don't want the rest of you to follow me."
"You will fail like this," Tang Zhaozong said that he wanted to talk about "A Machete Ping Tang Dynasty" with more like-minded people, and WeChat paid attention to "excellent reading literature", chatted about life, and found a confidant~
