CHAPTER XVII
At night, the camp was silent, only the soldiers who watched the night picked up the light of the lanterns.
The young men of the vassal states who came one after another were placed in the wasteland around the camp, and they were clearly divided according to the vassal states.
It was late at night, and the teenagers had gone through a long journey, and they were exhausted at the moment, and the snoring of the teenagers sounded from time to time in the silence of the camp.
There are a few pairs of armor stacked randomly in the corner, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the weapon racks are mixed together, and it is naturally impossible for a non-commissioned officer who has been in the army for a long time to make such a mistake, only these noble guards and young men who have always been clothed and fed in their hometown would be so casual.
A pair of armor under the moonlight, suddenly flashed, as if it had life, the iron armor made of stainless steel was automatically assembled, under the moonlight "Titica" sounded softly, the armor seemed to be worn on the master, and the person stood up.
Iron Armor moved its neck and elbows, looked around, and with a wave of his hand, a narrow-bladed long knife on the weapon rack was firmly attached to the palm of the armor, and it raised its head, a terrifying void in its helmet.
It seemed that the "resurrection" of this suit of armor was the beginning, and the empty camp suddenly became lively, and the armor discarded by the young men of the vassal kingdom at will crossed and assembled one after another, and it didn't take long for the camp to be cold under the white moonlight.
After all the iron armor had divine sense, they bent down and bowed to the first assembled iron armor for the first time and performed a military salute, which was varied, and after careful identification, it was found that these iron armor were all military salutes of the country to which they belonged.
It seems to be a bird and a phoenix, and a saint with ten thousand faces!
In a moment, a clear voice came out of the night: "I respectfully serve Lord Yan, flesh and blood; Glory is descended, and you live. ”
As if hearing some supreme injunction, the iron armor led by him suddenly knelt down on one knee, and a piece of iron armor behind him also knelt on the ground, and the armor pieces closed one by one, as if breathing carefully.
A black-clothed figure flashed in the moonlight, holding a long knife in his hand, and he approached the group of iron armor with a smile on his face.
"Can you live?" He asked.
The iron armor who stood up first in front of him trembled slightly when he heard this, and kept humming sound, like a living human full of gratitude.
"In that case, let's feast." With a wave of his hand holding the knife, the long knife came out of its sheath silently, slashing through a dazzling silver light, and the iron armor in front of him seemed to have received an order, and resolutely raised his head.
The entire team of ironclad armor turned around and faced the resting camp.
"Don't go overboard." Another person on the side whispered.
He showed his figure, thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and a handsome face, it was Liu Xuan, who took over the young man of the vassal state.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the rows of iron armor in the clearing.
Painless, ruthless, but with commands, kill at any cost. If such a "soldier" can be manipulated by Dayan, if he wants to meet the arrogant princes again, the royal family will also have the hole card to stand up and speak.
"The general thinks too much." The man with the sword seemed to guess what he was thinking, "If such armor soldiers can command like an arm, we would have already conquered the world, so why bother to hide?" ”
"Humph!" When Liu Xuan heard this, his face changed, and he said coldly, "I don't care what demon method you use, but remember, this is not someone who can kill!" ”
"Who in the world should be killed?" The handsome face raised in the moonlight and smiled.
His hand holding the knife suddenly trembled, the moon was like water, and the long knife in the sheath was weird and self-resounding.
"Sure enough, I'm not destined for heaven." He sighed. The knife in his hand slashed again.
The ironclad soldiers in front of the two of them raised their heads together, all kinds of weapons in their hands posed in an attacking posture, and their iron boots stepped on the ground, constantly moving towards the camp.
"Don't worry, general, I'm not here to kill." The man with the knife laughed, "On the contrary, I'm here to save the world." ”
Nan Yunkang had a long, long dream.
In the dream, he returned to Yunhuang when he was a child, the sun was just right, and when he lowered his head, he found himself holding the corner of a little boy's clothes.
"Major General, I'...... I'm going to marry you! He said it suddenly with a red face.
After finishing speaking, he was also stunned, this sentence was very familiar, as if someone had put it on his lips, as long as he opened his mouth, these words jumped out involuntarily.
"Huh?" Qingxiu's weak little face raised in surprise, "But Akang, we are all boys." ”
"So we are brothers, so it's not that you marry me and I marry you." The immature voice said solemnly.
The next moment, the boy laughed happily, and his eyes were as warm as autumn water.
A blinding blood-red streaked down from the corner of his eye, and the smile froze, and Nan Yunkang stood so close that he could see his reflection in the boy's big black eyes......
and, the sword light that hit the back of the head like a blast of wind.
"Ahh He rolled over and got out of bed in a daze, and only to hear a "dang" sound, a silver light split the tent and slashed at the place where he had been lying.
In an instant, he fell asleep, he rolled over and rolled to the corner of the tent, the knife that slashed in did not stop, a few flashes of knife light, and the tent was already crumbling.
Nan Yunkang slammed his force from a corner, with a loud "crackle", and the tattered tent completely lost its mission, and fell to the ground with the last trace of unwillingness.
The collapse of a tent has not changed anything, the moonlight outside is white, the night wind is howling, a cursory look, there are nearly a hundred ironclad warriors constantly ravaging the camp, one by one the tents of the princes and young men were split open by swords and axes, the iron armor slammed the young man's neck with the back of the knife, and knocked one person unconscious, and after a while, the sound of the teenagers calling for help was much less.
The grass not far away suddenly shook, and a pair of iron armor that had just torn the tent looked back, as if there was a thought in the empty helmet, it picked up its knife and slowly moved over.
There were constant cries for help from people around, and torches that had been hit in a panic, as if the small movement in the grass was nothing compared to it.
The ironclad took two more steps forward, the knife in its hand fluttering a few times, the grass still only swaying in the breeze, and it turned around, slightly awkwardly aiming at the noise of the crowd.
It took a slow step, and at that moment, a change abruptly occurred!
The snow bright knife light splashed out of the grass, and then a figure burst out, and the sword stepped forward, without waiting for the iron armor to raise the knife to block, the silver wave-like knife light had been silently wiped over, without encountering the slightest obstacle, the helmet and armor that were originally tightly combined were cut out of the gap in an instant, and the movements in the hands of the iron armor immediately stopped, and finally trembled, and the armor parts were scattered all over the place.
The iron armor lost its voice, and the person who made the knife seemed to have exhausted all his strength, he held the knife and gasped for a long time, his eyes moved down, and he sighed, "Qi national standard helmet?" ”
The pile of scattered armor that fell to the ground was the standard armor of the Qi army, although this pair was a few sizes smaller, the shape was not the same, and it was no wonder that he was surprised if he was cautious about the distribution of standard armor in various countries.
But this is not a surprise, Nan Yunkang shook his knife--- when he went hunting with his father in Yunhuang before, he liked to shake off the blood contaminated by his prey like this to prevent rust from the sharp blade, but now he has slashed the body of the iron armor, but he has not felt it before...... Likely, just fighting with air.
Under those fierce and abnormal iron helmets, there was nothing in the void, and after staring at it for a long time, I was terrified.
He stood quietly for a while, felt his strength recover slightly, and without further delay, he ran to a pair of iron armor not far away.
Over there, in front of a tattered tent, several small fires were blazing, orange light was constantly beating, and a short figure in iron armor with a horse lance in his hand entered the tent, but his movement suddenly slowed down, and the boy who was being pursued by it also took the opportunity to escape.
After all, the teenagers of the vassal states are all the children of the generals, and they suffered the loss of negligence just now, and now after the panic, there are already three or three teenagers in the camp to join forces to resist the iron armor.
"Nanyunkang?" An inquiring voice rang out.
Nan Yunkang turned his head, the handsome young man was holding a spear, and there were more than a dozen people standing behind him, and he was asking out loud.
None of them were armoured, but wore dark blue undershirts, and the horrific image of the iron armor returning as samurai filled the children's eyes with shock, and the fierce fight scattered their hair buns.
"What about you Yunhuang people?" The young man saw Nan Yunkang stunned, and hurriedly asked.
His eager face was exposed in the moonlight, and Nan Yunkang suddenly remembered that this was the person who gave him kindness in the morning when everyone laughed at Yunhuang's youth.
The prince of Chu followed him personally, and he fought red.
He had just recognized Dou Chi here, and he heard a few excited shouts behind him.
"Akang! Akang! Although Yunhuang's young man was also embarrassed, the rudimentary leather armor on his body was preserved, and they spotted Nan Yunkang's figure from a distance, waving his arms in response.
The young man ran towards this side, Dou Chi shook his head suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you still have armor on you?" ”
As soon as he said a word, the teenagers from all over the world gathered behind him also noticed that something was wrong, and they asked one after another: "Could it be that you are the ghost?" Jealous of our ironclads? ”
A Yunhuang teenager glared at him, "What a fart!" We're going to scarce your stuff? These monsters are all transformed by your armor, why don't you say that you have bad intentions and want to take the opportunity to kill us? ”
Nan Yunkang stretched out his hand to stop his angry companion behind him, and sneered: "You might as well think of a way, why bother talking about it." ”
He thought about it, whispered to Dou Chi for a while, the two seemed to have reached a consensus, and returned to their respective groups to make a few arrangements, Yun Huang and most of the teenagers of the Chu State scattered around with their weapons, and continued to fight with the iron armor, and a few teenagers stayed around them.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, as soon as the young man's heart came up, he was about to have a seizure angrily, and at this time Dou Chi glanced back coldly, "Where did you come from, where are you going, don't be here to get in the way." ”
His tone was cold, as if he was speaking to a few despicable worms, and he was disdainful in every word, "Chu Manzi!" Hugh was rude....... "Finally, a young man couldn't help his anger, but before the words fell, Dou Chi stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and said, "Whose dog are you?" Even if your master is here, I dare to say this, where did you get the courage to talk to me like this? ”
He snorted coldly and spread his hand, patting his body in disgust, the faces of several teenagers turned blue and white for a while, Nan Yunkang arranged his own hands, and didn't care about those teenagers, just came to Dou Chi's side to discuss.
"This kind of iron armor is formless, and the knife does not hurt it, although it is an iron armor, and the body seems to be outside the iron armor," Nan Yunkang suddenly turned his head and asked the young man beside him, "What did you find when you were fighting just now?" ”
"Act fast." A teenager blurted out.
Indeed, although those iron armors appeared to be made of steel all over, their posture was extremely agile, and they only slowed down a little when attacking, as if each attack consumed most of their strength, and even needed to slow down for a while before they could continue to move.
"Force...... The power is endless. Another teenager blushed slightly and said softly.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, according to my observation, such an iron armor already has the strength of an ordinary man's full strength, if you can block it, then it is considered powerful." Nan Yunkang comforted him. That's what he thought of too. The slow attack speed is indeed the weakness of the iron armor, but what if every knife is slashed at you with all his might?
He listened for a while, and the boys began to argue word by word, he shook his head, and said, "Everyone has found a lot, but there is one thing that you have not thought of. ”
"It's good to be slow, but do you see how they move when they get inside the tent?"
The teenagers were thoughtful. Dou Chi said loudly: "The action is even slower! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to understand something, and his face suddenly realized, his eyes matched Nan Yunkang, and the two smiled.
"Why do tents make them move more slowly?"
"Yes...... Shade? ”
"That's right! Shade! Nan Yunkang laughed, "What will the shadow cut off?" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and the tent ...... Shade...... Isolated......
As he was thinking about it, a tent next to him seemed to be unable to withstand the ravages of fire and swords, and with a crisp "click", it fell to the ground with a bang. The place that was originally covered brightened up in an instant, the moonlight flowed, and someone raised his head suddenly, "It's moonlight!" Moonlight! ”
He shouted out in his voice, and everyone's hearts were clear, the iron armor can only move agile under the moonlight, and out of the moonlight, it is like a sword that has not been used for a long time, rusty and slow.
Seeing that everyone was enlightened, Nan Yunkang hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, with some cunning in his eyes, "Eclipse with the moon, this is their Achilles' heel!" ”
"Huqing, is the matter done?" The emperor took a sip of tea and said.
"Back to Your Majesty, all the ironclad warriors have entered the camp of his relatives," ignoring that the emperor was not asking himself, Liu Xuan knelt down and said: "But those evil arts are not the right way after all, and the minister is worried about ......."
"What General Liu is worried about, I have already said that the 'Moon Soul' does not kill people. Why, can't the general trust me, or can't he trust His Majesty's decision? ”
Liu Xuan wanted to refute, but the emperor waved his hand impatiently and said, "General Liu is really worried about the country and the people, and he never forgets to worry about state affairs. ”
There was a thorn in his words, Liu Xuan's face changed, but he didn't say anything more, he just bowed and retreated.
As soon as he stepped back on his front foot, the fox on his back foot picked up his wine glass and said loudly: "Your Majesty has such a good minister and tiger general, the minister congratulates Your Majesty and the world!" ”
As soon as he raised his head, a glass of wine was in his stomach.
He no longer calls himself a grass man, but a minister. A few days ago, the emperor conferred on him the official title of the crown prince Right Zhan Shi, and assisted the East Palace together with Lu Jian. But the emperor still likes to take him with him, so the reputation of the fox Yan "courtier" between the government and the opposition has spread all over the place.
The emperor pressed his wine glass and said with a smile: "What, follow the story of Taizong?" You are bold, I still feel that I have insulted my ancestors. ”
Emperor Yan Taizong Ming Yao Zhaowen Xiaowu Emperor is an unborn Ming monarch, but few people know, his temper at the beginning of his reign was extremely hot, and he liked luxury, he had a banquet in the palace, the wine was fragrant for three days, there was an official who risked death to admonish, and said the disadvantages of the current government, and disobeyed the will of the Tai Purpose several times, which made him very annoyed.
I never thought that after Taizong retreated into the harem, the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian, who was still alive at the time, dressed up and went out of the palace, led the Huangmen palace maid to get up and bow down, and shouted long live in the mouth, Taizong did not know why, the queen mother replied, congratulations to Your Majesty for getting a good minister today, and the Great Yan Emperor will never stop, and it will be just around the corner.
Under the assistance of the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian and the outspoken counselor, the majestic life power of Dayan was fully radiated, and after Taizu, the territory of the Yan Dynasty expanded again, and the Northern Wilderness at that time was also included in the bag.
"Listen to Aiqing's words, this 'soul under the moon'," the emperor put down his glass, "It seems to be your exclusive secret technique?" ”
"We have lived in seclusion for decades, and the world has forgotten it, and it doesn't matter if we don't have secret skills." Fox Yan replied.
"But the name of the glow is not false."
When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, he leaned forward and said, "Then have you ever learned the art of immortality?" ”
"Immortality?" Fox Yan smiled mysteriously, "What is the immortality in Your Majesty's heart?" ”
"Heaven and earth live together, the sun and the moon shine together!"
"Mortal immortality!" Fox Yan asserted.
The emperor's face is not worried.
"Your Majesty, true immortality is never about how long a person lives," Hu Yan didn't look at the emperor's face, he looked at the moon and waved his long sleeves, "True immortality is remembered by all people!" ”
"No matter how many years have passed, whenever someone mentions your name, everyone can think of what you did at that time, your voice and smile, as if vividly, no one dares to say that they have forgotten you, and they will live in everyone's hearts for a long time, live in their mouths from generation to generation, and only remember what you have not forgotten, this is called immortality!"
"This is the immortality you deserve, Your Majesty!"
"And what you need to do is to let Dayan, let the world, always remember you, always remember."
He leaned over as he approached the emperor, a seductive look flashed in his eyes, and his voice became deeper and lower, full of magnetism, revealing a fatal attraction, as if countless pairs of invisible hands stretched out from the sound, lifting the ears of the listener, so that every word and syllable he spit out entered the listener's ears without reservation.
The Emperor's eyes became flustered, and his breathing gradually became heavy, "According to what you said, what should I do?" ”
"How? Your Majesty, you already have the answer in your heart. His finger tapped on the emperor's chest, and the emperor's body trembled.
"Here," the fox didn't take his hand away, his lips pressed to the emperor's ear, and opened and closed slightly, "there's a beast." If you release it, you will naturally live forever. ”
