Chapter 280: Nine Days of Fireworks Falling to the Dust
Liezi Yufeng finally walked out of the Thousand Machines Pavilion again. Listening to the war drums and shouts outside the city like a rising tide, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Killing each other on such a night is really a terrible thing.
If he had a choice, Liezi Yufeng certainly didn't want to personally command and kill people. Especially when he knew that he was going to use a cruel method to carry out the slaughter, his heart was filled with a little compassion.
However, he had to do it. Because when he accepted the young man's entrustment, he had promised him that when danger came, he would do his best to protect the absolute safety of this royal city and Jinxiang Palace. A promise is heavier than Mount Tai. This is not only his promise to Chu Jiangmian, but also a reward for the dead ancestor Chu Lie.
Whether it is him, Pang Tuo, and Ji Zi, the three of them have been guarding here for more than ten years. Whatever the reason, they all have an inseparable feeling for this royal city and the vast north. Even now that Chu Lie was gone, they didn't have to stay here any longer. But they still chose to stay. In a sense, like Fei Yi and others, they take care of Chu Jiangmian as their juniors.
Few people in the outside world know how far apart some of the secretly-unknown strengths of Zhao State have developed in the past ten years! And in his last few years, Chu Lie had extremely firm confidence in his handsome son. It was precisely because he had seen with his own eyes many miracles that were born between Chu Jiangmian's seemingly joking nonsense.
And Liezi Yufeng, who is in charge of the Thousand Machine Pavilion, is undoubtedly one of the people who is fortunate enough to know many of these secrets. It is precisely because of this that from a very early age, he has been secretly observing and pondering what kind of otherworldly potential the young man who is known as the world's gentleman. It's just that even a character like him can't see through its essence. It is even more impossible to understand whether some of his whimsical ideas, as well as those powerful methods that are not yet known to the world, are innate or learned!
In fact, Liezi Yufeng knew very well in his heart that the secrets in charge of the Thousand Machines Pavilion were only part of it. Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian still has any talent that matches his open-mindedness, perhaps he can only slowly witness it in the years to come.
And just the things that were about to be used to protect Dragon City now had already shocked him. Liezi Yufeng looked at the dozens of Thousand Machine Pavilion spies gathered in front of him. There was a determined glow on everyone's face. His heart was a little heavy, and he was a little proud of them. I couldn't help but think of some of the things Chu Jiangmian had said to him again.
"The current technical conditions can only go so far...... Hehe! To be honest, there are no guarantees in terms of safety! When you kill or injure others, you are also likely to hurt yourself. There's really no way around it...... Therefore, when you are forced to use them, you should not use them lightly. ”
"Then why did you create such a thing that defied the harmony of heaven?"
"Alas! I can't help it. was forced to take over his father's big stall, if he couldn't protect it for him, I'm afraid he would be scolded angrily by dreaming, right? These people need to be fed and live in peace. And the chaos that began in the whole world does not know when it will end...... If you want peace in the world, how difficult it is! As a last resort, I had to play some small tricks. ”
Seeing Chu Jiangmian smiling helplessly, Liezi Yufeng wanted to knock on his head very much. Shout loudly, if these are also called small means, then the world will fight and the armies will fight, won't it become a child playing at home? !
However, such ridiculous thoughts only exist in his heart. He would not openly question Chu Jiangmian. At that time, he had just learned that the three Great Elders from the Qin State's Collusion Division had all been lost in the hands of the other party. And the powerful means that Chu Jiangmian used were precisely under his personal guidance, so that Qianji Pavilion began to be responsible for creating some kind of secret thing.
At the beginning, since Liezi Yufeng had seen that kind of tremendous power with his own eyes, he had once doubted the martial arts attainments he had cultivated for most of his life. Even for a long time, it created some kind of obstacle to his practice.
Fortunately, he also figured it out later. Some things that should not exist in heaven and earth are beyond the reach of mortals. And Chu Jiangmian's ability from heaven may be its special feature. As for whether it will be a blessing or a curse for the people in the world, it is not something he can predict.
Outside the city, the enemy came in droves through the moonlight. Standing on the head of the city, the shadow of the striker can already be faintly seen with the naked eye. Liezi Yufeng nodded to Fei Yi, who was leading the Zhao army to wait for him.
"It seems that the Wei people are dispatched with their whole army. This is to do it all at once! Dragon City can't withstand such a fierce attack anymore, it should be time to use the killing strategy left by King Zhao! ”
"Since Master Lie Zishi is here in person, he must have made arrangements. If you think it's the best time, then the old man has no objection. ”
Fei Yi crossed the knife to his chest and replied with a faint smile. There was something to look forward to and excite in his heart. Although it is absolutely impossible for the spies of the Thousand Machines Pavilion to defeat the Wei army alone. But he still had some hope. Because, he knew that there was a personal arrangement and entrustment from King Zhao Chu Jiangmian. And who can guarantee that the man's actions will be unexpected?
"In that case, let them go first! See how it goes, and then act on it. ”
After Liezi Yufeng finished speaking, he waved his hand to the dozens of Thousand Machine Pavilion spies who had already received orders. No one said anything more. After clasping their fists and saluting, the figures climbed down from the top of the city and quickly headed for their intended locations. Each of them is well aware of his mission and the dangers he may encounter. Acting in front of the sword forest and Jiashan of tens of thousands of troops is originally a matter of death and lifelessness. But they did not hesitate to jump off the city to fulfill their glorious duty.
"They're all good boys! I hope a few of you will come back alive....... ”
Liezi muttered to the wind. He looked down at the small bronze medals he had collected in his hand. Each small sign was engraved with the names of the spies, glowing faintly in the moonlight. Before leaving, they handed over the nameplate engraved with their names to the owner of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. Whoever dies in this battle will be placed on that tower as an inscription of merit.
"They...... Will they all die? ”
A voice next to him asked softly. Liezi Yufeng turned his head and looked at the woman with an unbearable look on her face, and he only replied.
"As a Thousand Machines Pavilion spy, this is their fate!"
Murong Qiancheng felt the helplessness in the elder's tone. She felt a little sad in her heart, and silently wrapped the rest of the wound medicine with her hands. She has been here for the past few days to treat the injured, although she feels very tired, she has not complained at all. Because she believed that if Chu Jiangmian was here, she would definitely encourage herself to do so. Perhaps, the only thing that made her feel sad was that despite the best efforts of the medical officers, many seriously injured soldiers still lost their lives. This made the woman who experienced the cruelty of war for the first time very sad.
Jiang Mian...... Where are you now? The soldiers of Dragon City are already desperate. Tonight is the fateful moment! I wish you all the best, and God forbid you not to be hurt in the slightest!"
The iron armor is cold, and the silver frost is everywhere. Murong Qiancheng, who was only dressed in single clothes, felt the coldness brought by the wind in the city after he stopped being busy. She folded her hands and prayed silently. From yesterday to today, there has been no latest news from Zhao Wang Chu Jiangmian. How she wished she could hear his victory again tonight!
"Sister Qiancheng, I have already prayed for your wish thousands of times! If God can really hear, I hope he can help us well...... As long as Brother Jiang Mian and Zhao Guo get through this difficulty, then from now on, I will provide delicious food to this old man every day!"
Chu Jiangxue also learned from Qiancheng next to him, holding his palms, looking as pious as he looked. In the girl's cognition, God is naturally a kind-looking grandfather. As long as the wish is sincere, he will definitely agree.
Listen to the conversation between the two women. Fei Yi shook his head secretly. However, he didn't mean to make fun of it. The big war was coming, and he was afraid that it would not be safe for them to stay here, so he was about to have someone protect them to leave. But I heard Liezi Yufeng suddenly say something.
"Girl Qiancheng, Princess Cher, God doesn't care about these things. King Zhao had already made arrangements to ensure that the royal city was safe. Instead of believing in God, we should believe in ourselves! Hehe, I heard that in the past, King Zhao used to personally accompany you to set off fireworks, so Qiancheng girl, must be no stranger to this, right? ”
Liezi Yufeng spread out his palm, and in the faint moonlight, it was a firework made of bamboo tubes. Murong Qiancheng's eyes lit up, of course she knew this kind of thing. At the beginning, she blocked the sword for Chu Jiangmian in Jiuxing Mountain, but was seriously injured by Wei Wuzi and almost lost her life. Later, Chu Jiangmian spent seven days and seven nights trying his best to save her. And during the days when she was recuperating from her injuries, Chu Jiangmian did a lot of things with her in order to make her happy. And that included the fireworks he promised her.
"Since the girl from Qiancheng has set off this kind of fireworks, then tonight's one will be set off by your own hands......!"
Liezi Yufeng solemnly handed the bamboo tube into her hand, with a deep meaning on his face.
