CHAPTER XVIII
"Whew" Nan Yunkang let out a long breath, wiped the beads of sweat rolling off his head, and sat down on the ground.
"I didn't expect it...... Set up a tent...... It can be so tired. ”
He let go of the rope that he had been holding tightly in his hand, and on the open space in front of him, a huge tent was erected at some point, saying that it was a tent, but it was not quite like it, it was more like a passage, and there were many tents spliced together to form a huge cover, shrouded in, and countless ropes were held in the hands of many teenagers, and they saw Nan Yunkang let go of his hand, and they also let go, and the tent shook a few times in the expectant eyes of everyone, and finally stood firmly in the center.
Nan Yunkang looked around, a satisfied look on his face.
This is the trick he uses to deal with these iron armors!
He whistled, and the sound pierced far through the camp in the night.
After a while, the figures of several teenagers in the distance ran around.
"Ready!" Nan Yunkang also licked his lips excitedly and turned around and shouted.
As soon as he finished shouting, many teenagers around the tent got into the tent and set up an ambush.
The running figures in his eyes became clearer and clearer, the group of teenagers were all wearing undershirts, only a few were wearing leather armor, they kept looking back behind them, and after seeing Nan Yunkang, they cried out as if relieved.
Behind them, the flames were extinguished, and the dark and cold figures strode like flies, chasing these teenagers.
The boys ran closer, and without thinking about it, they slipped into the huge tent.
The iron armor suddenly lost its target, shaking its empty "head" in confusion, but slowly stopped.
They didn't seem to understand how the prey that was still alive in front of them just now would disappear in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there were constant exclamations from other corners of the camp, and the ironclads turned their faces in unison, and they were about to leave.
"Ding"
A cold light flashed, and a pair of iron-armored bodies suddenly leaned back, and a long knife in front of him fell to the ground.
Nan Yunkang slowly withdrew his hand, he appeared from the side, shouted a few times at the top of his voice, and the iron armor that had lost his goal couldn't help but focus on him.
Facing several hollow armors, Nan Yunkang swallowed his saliva, and the young man who was ambushed in the tent behind him also sweated.
He suddenly moved!
He ran straight towards the iron armor, as if he had recognized the blade and was bent on death, but when he was near, he spun on the soles of his feet, shouting and running towards the place where he came back at a faster speed.
The iron armor also firmly locked on the figure who was dancing and shouting loudly, the sword in his hand flashed with the cold light of the moonlight, and the hard body rushed straight into the tent.
The quiet tent suddenly became lively, and a group of teenagers exclaimed continuously, and the sound of swords breaking through the wind was loud, and it took a while to quiet down.
Nan Yunkang poked his head out of the grass, he didn't go in after he had just introduced those pairs of iron armor into the tent, but turned around and got into the grass, he listened intently for a while, there was only silence in the tent, and the bustle of Shicai seemed to have never appeared.
He went back and picked up the long knife he had thrown out, thought about it, and cautiously leaned over.
A cold air stabbed out.
He had just had time to block with his knife, when several strong hands reached out again, firmly locking the joints of his limbs, and his hands ached, and the long knife fell to the ground again.
"It's Akon!" Someone inside the tent let out an exclamation and retracted the hands on his limbs.
Nan Yunkang stood up and moved his hands and feet, and the young man inside sneered: "Kill the red eye, make a mistake, make a mistake." ”
Dou Chi also poked his head out: "Don't make trouble, there are a lot of them ahead." ”
"That's the group, what's our business." A cloudy teenager muttered under his breath.
As soon as he said it, Dou Chi raised his eyebrows, secretly looked at Yunhuangren's face, and found that most of them nodded in agreement, and a few probably recalled the insult they received in the morning, and looked angry.
"You can't think of it that way." He was watching, and Nan Yunkang suddenly said loudly, "For public and private, we all have to take action." ”
"Oh? How does it make sense? Dou Chi asked.
Nan Yunkang glanced at the audience, basically all the young people present were Yunhuang and the young people of the Chu State, the armor of the people of the Chu State had turned into iron-armored warriors, and the leather armor of the young man of Yunhuang was worn alive, "The first question that others may want to ask, why did everyone's armor change into evil spirits, but our people in Yunhuang were fine?" ”
"That's because...... We are leather armor. A young man in Yunhuang blushed and his voice went from big to small, and finally his eyes were resentful, "Just because of this, our brother is still laughed at by them, which is also a problem?" ”
"Just because we know why doesn't mean others know. This time I came out for the sake of the major general, not to cause trouble! Nanyun Kang said sharply.
As soon as his voice was loud, the young man was silenced, and it seemed that Nan Yunkang had a very high prestige among this group of teenagers.
"Secondly, I don't know if you have noticed that these iron-armored evil spirits, although they are extremely heavy, do not take people's lives." He waved his right hand and made a slashing motion, "One blow stunned, and then quickly retreated." ”
"Moreover, this is in the Damang camp, only a few miles away from Yan Lingwei's Gyeonggi station, there is such a big movement here, and there will be no ignorance over there." He added.
As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed to break through some maze, and Douchi's eyes lit up, "You mean, this is deliberate, and ......."
"And it was deliberately done by the officials." Nanyun Kang fingers the night sky.
The crowd fell silent.
"You mean, the officials are tempting us?" Someone asked cautiously.
Nan Yunkang did not answer.
Everyone's hearts are clear, and those who ask have an answer in their hearts, and the princes are not in harmony with each other, so that they secretly rebel against the royal family, and those who have a clear eye in the world know it.
If it is instructed by the government...... Everyone looked at each other, and they had agreed to help the teenagers of other countries. Nan Yunkang just saw everyone's expressions, so he spoke: "Since this is the case, we have to discuss the next countermeasures." ”
He pulled Chu Guo and Yunhuang to the side with a few young men who were slightly more decisive, and began to discuss.
Every time he said a word, he looked at the others with inquiring eyes, and basically nodded in agreement after a long period of thought, Dou Chi looked at it with his arms crossed, and the boy, who was surrounded by people in the center of the question, still straightened his back, with a determined look on his face, you can imagine how he was scolding Fang Xuan at the moment.
"Someday, I'll let the world know."
Nan Yunkang's words rang in his head.
He suddenly firmly believed that Nanyunkang's name would definitely be remembered by tens of thousands of people.
Dayi Palace, the cool breeze gusts, and the sky is about to break.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with his head hanging and pondered, there was no one waiting around, for a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, his right hand pressed on the armrest of the dragon chair suddenly, "click, click" There was a sound of bracketing, the dragon chair turned upside down, it turned faster and faster, and finally took the emperor sitting firmly on it and swirled and sank.
The seat shook, the emperor understood that it was dark at the end, but he seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, turned over and got off the seat and really ran to the side, his hand groped on it for a while, a little fire suddenly lit up, and the dark space became clear.
It was an underground road like a corridor, surrounded on all sides by solid walls, and a torch was placed at intervals, one of which he had just lit.
By the faint light of the fire, the Emperor groped his way forward. As soon as he got out of his seat and lit the torch, he knew the road with ease, and within a few steps he was leaning against the wall, as if he had no idea what was going on.
Not long after he walked, he touched the wall with his hand and felt empty, and he immediately turned around and took the burning torch from the wall next to him.
He flicked his torch, and by the light he could see that there was no longer a narrow aisle in front of him, but a large, empty circular field, in which a biting cool breeze blew from time to time.
He suddenly walked quickly to the side, as if he was familiar with this place again, and when he came to a place, he bent his knees, and actually knelt down with a "plop".
No one in the world would not be surprised to see this. Today's saint, the Ninety-Five Supreme, the master of the eight thousand miles of Great Yan, has always been the one who others kneel for him, and he will even kneel for others?
"Father, son...... The retainers have come to see you. He said in a trembling voice, and leaned over and kowtowed again.
The torch was placed in his hand, and what was in front of him was exposed to the firelight.
It was a chair carved with dragons and phoenixes, no different from the one he had ridden before, the only difference was that on the back of this chair, dragons and phoenixes were entangled to form a human face, with a serious face and a slender beard, and he was coldly looking at the emperor kneeling in front of the chair.
"Father, the son has found a way." The emperor kowtowed and said urgently.
The chair didn't reply.
The face was just a look, it didn't have any life, and it still kept the coldness of metal.
But the emperor seemed to have really seen his "father", and he kept saying: "The Yingfu you have been worried about is now an official of Erchen, an official of Dayan." ”
"They promised to return to Dayan, and promised to help their sons calm the world!" The emperor was slightly excited, "Maybe they have really changed, and they are not the 'ochres' of fifty years ago." ”
He was chattering endlessly, but a voice came out of the corridor: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fox has a letter." ”
Dou Zuo knelt on the ground, his head hanging very low, as if he was about to fold to his chest, he kneeled forward, not daring to look up even a glance.
"Say, who's going to win this time?" The Emperor also regained his composure instantly, but he did not move, still kneeling in front of the chair.
"It's the people of Chu and Yunhuang, especially Yunhuang, the black-scaled riding boy is all in Nanyunkang."
"Where's Mr. Fox?"
He ...... This ......"
"Speak!" The emperor scolded.
He was outside the Dayi Palace and said it was ....... There is immortality to be with you. ”
The Emperor was silent.
Dou Zuo's heart beat the drum, Emperor Dayan defeated the world with soldiers and horses, the blood of martial artists has been passed down for a hundred years, and the emperors of all dynasties have scoffed at the so-called immortality of the Jianghu Fangshi, and he was still startled when Hu Yan said that to him.
"I have the method of immortality, and I sincerely dedicate it to Your Majesty." The warm face said with a smile.
But in Dou's left eye, under the spring breeze-like smile, it was like a fierce beast peeping into the world.
"Stand down, and I'll come later." The emperor tilted his head and replied.
"Yes." In the same way, Dou Zuo walked out on his knees.
He didn't look up the whole time.
Even if he is the emperor's most favored Huangmen Ling, and he is the father-in-law of Dou who is desperately tied to everyone in the government and the opposition, he still firmly remembers a rule.
Don't do it, don't do it!
The reason why he knew about this place was that the emperor himself brought him here, but he was not allowed to open his eyes to see anything, and over time, he became familiar with this place.
After Dou Zuo retreated, the emperor seemed to be suddenly deflated, and his back was straight, and the fat became more and more obvious, and he instantly became old.
"It's been nine years, and there are so many more flowers." He sighed as he pulled the few strands of gray hair that had fallen over his shoulders.
Everyone in the world said that he was an absurd emperor, boiling eagles and teasing birds, walking horses and dogs, and the harem had 3,000 beauties and pink and ten thousand bushes, but he didn't ask about any state affairs.
But who knows, he doesn't want to do this either.
Dayan Guozuo has been three hundred years, the drawbacks are everywhere, the small chaos is repeated, he thinks that he has no talent to help the world, and he has no resources to save the world, he can only be an ordinary and mediocre hedonistic emperor, and the things that extend the mandate of heaven will be handed over to the children and grandchildren to do, and if he does well, he will be able to be listed in the Taimiao, and he will not do well...... Dayan was wiped out, and the ancestral temple was destroyed, but after all, it was decades after his death.
When I die, let him be a flood of waves!
But now it's different, the group of people who call themselves Yingchao, they came to Yanjing with two peerless demon swords, and said to him,
"We can help you calm the world."
His heart, which had been decaying and decaying among the dogs and horses, suddenly pulled out the shoots. It was as if a flame was lit in the dark of the night.
It's just a little bit of hope, but he's desperate to do it!
He was fifty years old, his body had been hollowed out by many years, and he didn't have much time left.
Before he died, he helped Dayan up.
His eyes lit up, and he stood up with his hands on the ground, his legs numb after kneeling for so long.
The face of the old man in the chair seemed to be staring at him coldly.
He bowed at the end, "I really didn't expect that Dayan's future would be tied to Erchen, father, Erchen will come to accompany you after finishing things." ”
The footsteps were far away, and there was a long silence in the empty space.
"Ah Yue!" Xiao Lou's sweaty head suddenly hung upside down, and Ying Yue was so frightened that she exclaimed.
"Xiaolou? What are you doing here? ”
Xiao Lou neatly rolled over and entered the window, jumped a few times in the room, and the flush on his face due to the vigorous exercise subsided slightly.
She looked relaxed, but Yingyue was nervous. He poked his head out and looked around, saw that there was no one around, and closed the window, and his face softened.
It's scary...... When the princess broke into the princes' rooms late at night, fortunately no one was watching, otherwise...... The folds on the emperor's table tomorrow must be piled up.
Ying Yue had a headache when she thought of those imperial histories with goatees and the smell of decay, and then thought of the spittle stars flying all over when they reprimanded their colleagues in court.
"What, Major General? I can't come to Guibao Land yet? Xiao Lou sat down on the edge of his bed, shook his little head and asked.
"No, no...... Xiaolou, you ...... You're naughty again! Yingyue's face was red, and she hurriedly waved her hand, and it took a long time to hold back such a sentence.
Xiao Lou couldn't cry or laugh, picked up the pillow on the bed and smashed it, and said, "After studying with those sour book bags for a few days, you also became sour?" Teach me a lesson! ”
She withdrew her hand angrily, and heard three "tuk-tuk" sounds from the window outside.
Ying Yue was puzzled to open the window, but was stopped by Xiaolou, the girl smiled slyly, and took out a bulging gadget from the small bag she carried, like something used by the country cooks to blow wind and fire, but it was much smaller.
Ying Yue shook her head, "You always have such strange things. ”
"If you want to take care of it, open it quickly!" Xiao Lou stared.
As soon as Ying Yue opened the window, before he could see what was outside, Xiao Lou took a deep breath, then his lips approached the little thing, and he blew violently, a puff of smoke erupted from the little thing, and a violent cough sounded at the right time.
It's like coughing up your lungs.
Xiao Lou put aside the thing and covered her stomach and laughed, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and pointed to the cloud of smoke outside the window with trembling fingers, "Xiong Lan is a big fool, you have been tricked!" Hahahaha! ”
In response to her laughter, an angry roar also rang out, "Tong! Thousand! Floor! What the hell are you doing! ”
"It's just pepper, it's just pepper. What's the hurry! ”
"Who's making a fuss!" The guards who were patrolling the night turned back, heard the sound and the sound of people here, and carried the lantern to shine in this direction, slowing down, and pressing his hand cautiously on his waist knife.
He walked in, but couldn't hear a sound.
"Strange ......" He thought that this was the courtyard of Major General Yunhuang, so he cleared his throat and asked, "Major General, has anyone ever passed by?" ”
Ying Yue was squatting under the window, and when she heard the words, she seemed to get up and answer, but she was held down by Xiao Lou, "You are stupid, you haven't slept at this time, and you answered as soon as you heard someone else's question, isn't there a problem?" Stupid! ”
The Praetorian Guard asked a few words, but no one responded, but he relaxed his vigilance, probably already asleep, and he thought of the ghost stories that are often said in the Forbidden Palace...... He struck a hard blow and walked away with the lantern.
The three people who were listening carefully to the footsteps suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiong Lan blinked his eyes that were swollen red from pepper, and asked, "Why is she here?" This brutal girl. ”
The last few words of his mouth seemed to be said through gritted teeth, and Xiao Lou immediately reluctant, "I can come and leave if I want, it's your business!" Hum! ”
"Brutal!" In terms of scolding, Xiong Lan is not as good as Xiaolou with a lively temperament, he seems to only have this one sentence that is not a swearing, so he only has these two words over and over again.
So there was such a scene......
"Brutal!"
"Ouch Xiong Dashizi is definitely not rude, you have lived in rich clothes and food since you were a child, how can you look down on a mortal like me, oops, I don't know what crime you committed by insulting a princess of the dynasty like this......"
"Brutal! Unreasonable! ”
"You are reasonable, you are reasonable, God is not reasonable to you, as soon as you speak, the mountains collapse, the rivers are broken, you are angry, then it is okay, the stars and the moon are faint, and the sky is falling apart!"
The two of them scolded until the end, their mouths were dry, and they glared at each other angrily, and at the same time flicked their sleeves and crossed their waists and puffed.
Ying Yue stood in place awkwardly and didn't know how to say a word.
"What are you doing?" Xiong Lan asked.
"Pour water!" Xiao Lou snorted coldly.
The two of them seemed to have found a target for them to vent together, and Yingyue poured two cups of tea with a bitter face, and then sat down beside them.
"Do you know what I'm looking for you for?" Xiong Lan took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, which had just quarreled dryly, and spoke.
"Are you stupid, Dashizi? You haven't told anyone, and now you're asking someone else? I feel sorry for your stupidity. Xiao Lou heard Xiong Lan speak, and with a snort, she almost didn't squirt out the water she had just drunk in her mouth, she sneered.
Xiong Lan suddenly blushed, ignored her, and continued: "Countries have sent young people to Beijing to study with the son, don't you know? ”
Ying Yue shook her head suspiciously.
"It's okay, now you know." Xiong Lan suddenly smiled, "The young man who is leading over there in Yunhuang is called Nan Yunkang, do you know him?" ”
Nanyunkang.
Yingyue's heart suddenly warmed, but her eyes didn't know when a layer of tears was clouded.
Thousands of miles away, I heard the familiar name again, as if the wind on the grassland was blowing, blowing on my face, and it was so warm that I wanted to cry.
"Ah Kang, I naturally recognize it, it was my best playmate when I was a child." He nodded.
"It's almost time, we're going to meet soon." Xiong Lan met Yingyue's puzzled eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth.
