Chapter 80: The Master of the World
There are two kinds of human death. One is the death of the body, and the other is the annihilation of the spirit. No one can live forever, but no one can guarantee the immortality of their spirit. Although King Chu Lie of Zhao died, Zhao Guo would not die because of this! Because of his spirit of fighting unyieldingly and never giving up, it has long been passed down to his soldiers and subjects!
The people in Dragon City naturally didn't know the news of their king's death. A few hours ago, when the night was still covering the land, countless ghostly figures from nowhere began to sneak into this famous northern city from several different directions.
Although the enemy who came in the dark was agile and secretive, he was still the first to discover his whereabouts. Sitting in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, Liezi Yufeng immediately issued a lore order. All the Thousand Machine Pavilion spies inside and outside Dragon City immediately entered a state of emergency. Dispatch in the dark and intercept everywhere. A battle of life and death around Jinxiang Palace was unveiled.
Liezi Yufeng quickly judged that the enemy was coming from the direction of the South City Gate based on the information he had in hand. They all entered from the area of Zhaowu Gate, and the defenders stationed there, although they were well defended, it was not too difficult for these powerful guys to sneak in.
As for the identity of the night attacker, it is easy to determine. After the first fierce battle near the inner city gates, several men dressed in black were killed. And the things that were searched from them could already be judged that they were all from the powerful Western Qin Kingdom. These should be dead spies who belong to the "Hook Elimination Office", and they are already old opponents who have dealt with countless times.
Liezi flew up to the iron tower and looked at the few fires that began to appear in the city, the expression on his face was extremely cold. Sure enough, it's the people of Qin who are here to make ghosts! Qin and Zhao have been inseparable for a long time! This time it's not enough to meet on the front line of Pingyang, but to send a dead spy again, wanting to disturb Dragon City, it's really rampant!
The states of Qin and Zhao became mortal enemies, starting decades ago. At that time, the people of the Qin State coveted the Nine Dragons Baoding of the Zhou royal family, and they began to have different ambitions because of their strong national strength. The Qin army once took the opportunity of marrying the princess of the royal family to openly support heavy troops outside Los Angeles, wanting to forcibly ask for a treasure as a dowry for the princess and bring it back to Qin. The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not bear it, and when they couldn't bear it, they secretly ordered the princes to be the king. Many princes were afraid of the might of the Qin state and hesitated. And only Chu Lie, the king of Zhao, did not hesitate, and on the day he was ordered, he immediately brought his troops to come and forced back the army of Qin.
It was from that time that the Qin State regarded the Zhao State as the number one enemy, and the war between the two countries has never been interrupted until today.
As the master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion who mastered all the secret spy warfare, Liezi Yufeng's first duty was of course to protect the safety of Dragon City and Jinxiang Palace. King Zhao is not here, no matter what the price is, Dragon City must not have any mistakes.
The forces left in Dragon City by the Thousand Machine Pavilion have all been dispatched. Spies infinitely loyal to Zhao are all over the city, using their lives and blood to stop the invasion of powerful enemies. Emergency news kept coming back, and the force of the night attack was very powerful, and the situation gradually became a little critical.
The young man who had just entered the Thousand Machines Pavilion was nervously holding a knife and kept looking up at the figure watching from the tower. He had heard all the news that had come back, and his heart became extremely anxious.
The enemy actually took advantage of the night to attack Dragon City. He wanted to go out and fight right away. Although his own skills are low, in such an emergency, he is willing to use the knife and blood in his hand to defend the city in which he grew up.
"The first group of enemies to enter the city were blocked near the inner city gates. By now, about twenty or thirty have been killed...... But there seems to be a more powerful enemy coming from the Zhaowu Gate, and according to the reports of the brothers who went outside the city to resist the enemy, the ones who came behind were very powerful, and they should be the elder-level powerful ...... sent by the Hook and Annihilation Office. ”
The latest Senji Pavilion spy who came back to deliver the news was covered in blood and was obviously injured. After he finished speaking meticulously, he gasped for breath, tore open his shirt casually, and applied the medicine with the help of the young man.
"Qin State's consolation Wuzi really made a cost, and this time it seems that he is bound to win! Even elder-level figures were dispatched...... What is the situation in the city now? ”
Standing on the iron tower, Liezi Yufeng, did not bring any weapons. Although the situation is grim tonight, it is not yet worth his action. And his main duty is, of course, to protect the safety of Jinxiang Palace and Qianji Pavilion.
The wounded spy immediately replied, "In addition to rushing to Zhaowumen to intercept it, some of our people are also searching for the dead spies who have entered the city. During the previous fierce fighting, several houses in the city were set on fire. Fortunately, the people who lived there followed the king to the Nine Elements Mountain, and there were no casualties. And the Jinxiang Palace has also strengthened its vigilance with all its might, in case an enemy takes the opportunity to approach. ”
"Good! If there is any news, report it in time. ”
Liezi Yufeng nodded and waved him away. However, the brave spy did not leave immediately, he thought about it, and finally asked uneasily.
"Pavilion Master, on the side of Zhaowu Gate, if there is really a very powerful enemy coming, should we send more people to focus on defense to block the danger from the city gate as much as possible?"
"No need. If it's really those old guys at the level of the Elder of the Hook Erasure Division, you can't stop him! ”
"So what...... Pavilion Master! No matter how powerful the person is, will we still be afraid of him? ”
"You can deal with the ordinary death spies who come to attack, you don't have to worry about the others, you don't need to make a move from Qianji Pavilion, naturally someone will block them!"
Although the spy was still a little confused, since Liezi Yufeng had already said so, of course he wouldn't say anything more. Then he obeyed the order and left. Although he has been wounded, he should fight again with his wounds and never back down.
"I don't understand, you're so powerful...... Why not go out and personally direct them in battle? ”
The young blue bird finally mustered up the courage and asked out loud. Liezi Yufeng did not look down at him, let alone blame him for his rudeness, but gently stroked the edge of the iron tower with his hand, and said in a flat tone.
"My duty is to guard the Thousand Machines Pavilion and this tower. On the premise of absolute safety here, you can take care of other things. ”
"But, what is there to guard in the Thousand Machines Pavilion? This tower can't be moved, and it can't be lifted...... We should protect Jinxiang Palace! The king is gone, but the queen is still there! ”
There was a hint of annoyance in the boy's tone. He really wanted to go out and see what was going on, but he knew very well in his heart that he couldn't go out without Liezi Yufeng's permission.
The figure who stopped to watch on the tower finally looked down at him. Although I couldn't see the boy's face clearly in the night, I could feel his stubbornness. And the reason why he was allowed to enter the Thousand Machines Pavilion in the first place, in addition to Chu Jiangmian's face, what Liezi Yufeng admired most was actually his backbone.
"Young man, you don't understand the importance of Qianji Pavilion, but I can't complain about you. You just need to know that Qianji Pavilion and Jinxiang Palace are equally important! You can just stay here with me. Whether it is Zhaowumen or Jinxiang Palace, it is foolproof. No matter how powerful the enemy is, it will be difficult for them to do so! ”
Bluebird's eyes widened in surprise. He really didn't understand why Liezi Yufeng had such a big confidence. Could it be that there are more powerful people than him inside and outside this Dragon City? And this question of his, the figure on top naturally will not answer him again. Many things in this world need to be perceived and understood by themselves in the process of growing up, this young man still has a long way to go, and he hopes that he can grow up by himself.
The young man of Qianji Pavilion who couldn't get the answer naturally wouldn't know that the reason why Dragon City was called Dragon City and why King Zhao was called a contemporary hero had a lot of profound background, and it was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
"I think back then, the four of us came to Dragon City for different reasons, and together we helped Chu Lie resist Hu Qi...... Now that so many years have passed, Wuju has died, and there are only three of us left, and there has been no chance to make a move for a long, long time. Ji Zi, Pang Tuo, I hope that when the two of you shoot tonight, you will be as powerful as you were back then! ”
Liezi Yufeng muttered, no one could really understand his mood at the moment. For many years, he has been alone in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, which has made him accustomed to loneliness and loneliness. Perhaps only by watching the edge of the deceased from a distance can we evoke those distant memories!
At some point, his eyes suddenly lit up. Because he had already seen that Gang Qi had broken through the southern sky and was outside the Zhaowu Gate.
"Pang Fat Man...... You're finally willing to make a move! ”
The sword aura suddenly rose, and the wind was stormy. On the top floor of the high palace of Jinxiang Palace, Lao Ji, who was holding a jar of wine, also felt the movement on the side of Zhaowu Gate, and unlike Liezi Yufeng, there was no expression on his face. There was neither joy nor surprise, he just squinted his eyes slightly, raised his head to the sky, and drank the dust. Its booze, tonight is the most!
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and good wine is like blood...... What a time to kill! ”
And the people who were outside the Zhaowu Gate in Nancheng were definitely not as relaxed as the two of them at this moment. The news obtained by the spies of the Thousand Machine Pavilion was accurate, and the raid on Dragon City tonight was not only the most of the carefully organized spies lurking in Zhao State, but also two extremely powerful figures in the rear formation. And they have arrived now.
Since the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the gradual rise of the power of the princes, many ambitious kings and princes have secretly recruited peerless masters for their own use. Nie Feng, the king of Qin, who has the posture of a hero, has naturally achieved the ultimate in this regard. Legend has it that the Qin State has gathered more than ten of the world's top masters. Honored as an elder. And tonight's dispatch is only the two youngest in it.
