Chapter 52: The Rift
Someone once said that if a butterfly flaps its wings on the seashore of Jingguo, it may snowfall in the snowy mountains for more than ten days.
A loud bang at the west gate of Snow Eagle City made the eyes of the entire land focus on Xi Snow City.
Four future castle owners died in the six castles of the Snow Mountain, Zhu Youzhi was disabled, and he was lucky to be able to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
There are less than two days left for the Snow Festival.
Cao Kui's death has not yet been investigated, the heir of the Snow Mountain Six Castles has an accident in Snow Eagle City again, Zhao Lanxiu, the Dinghai God Needle, is about to pass away, and the evil heart in the sect is full of wind and rain, and this year's Snow Mountain is destined to be a cold winter.
According to the custom, Zhong Qiao was going to go with the envoys of various countries, but after he got the news that the Nightmare had exploded at the west gate of Snow Eagle City, he hurriedly mobilized the best snow dogs in the palace and galloped towards Xi Snow City.
Ding Yang personally escorted Su Zizhong with Shadow Annihilation, and the two convoys met on the road, silently moving forward with each other.
Every move and every unknown meeting in Syracuse City could make this continent turbulent.
The VIP Pavilion where the six castles of Snow Mountain in Syracuse City stayed.
The small room was crowded with more than a dozen Mind Realm Grand Masters.
The tea sets and wine glasses on the table were shaken, like the clicking sound of teeth knocking together, although the qi was invisible, but the rhythmless shaking of the green plants, the flying pages, and the swaying murals still exposed the anger of the six castles of the snow-capped mountains and the almost uncontrollable fluctuations of true qi.
Ding Yi and the elders stood or sat with black faces.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the knot cannot be untied.
The eyes of the lord of Gaobao were full of bloodshots, his hair stood on end, and he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Cao Zhihan, "Who doesn't know that the nightmare is a killing weapon controlled by your Cao family, you are in charge of the Guardian Army, only you Cao Zhihan have it, and now you say that it has nothing to do with you?" ”
Nightmares are made and preserved, there are only sixteen in total, except for the two that once gave Cao Kui self-defense, fourteen nightmares were sealed in the Great Snow Mountain, Cao Zhihan had actually personally returned to the Great Snow Mountain yesterday to check, none of them were lost.
Could it be that the two on Cao Kui's body were stolen? But the two that I gave to Cao Kui in private can't be told to outsiders.
Cao Zhi said coldly, "I went to check the place where the nightmare was stored, and there are no less than fourteen of them. I've been in Xixue City for the past few days, how could I go to Xixue City to harm the people of your Snow Mountain Six Castles. ”
Even if Ding Yi is reluctant to stand up, but this time it was the sister-in-law of the Snow Mountain Six Castles who was killed, and if one is not handled well, the alliance between the Great Snow Mountain and the Snow Mountain Six Castles will be wiped out immediately.
"In-laws, Lord Gaobao, listen to me, although the nightmare has always been in the hands of Elder Cao, Elder Cao has indeed been with us for the past few days and has never left." Ding Yi carefully considered the wording, "Besides, as soon as the news of Snow Eagle City came, I personally checked with Elder Cao, and it was indeed sealed in a secret place. In addition to the two that failed and scrapped before, there are many ones. ”
Su Lang was about to speak, and Liu Hemin grasped the key point in Ding Yi's words, "Why are there two more scrapped?" ”
Cao Zhihan took over and explained, "The stability of nightmares is relatively poor, and it is easy to self-destruct when stored for a long time, so we have been regularly checking for many years, and once we find signs of self-detonation, we will secretly destroy them, and I have reported to the high priest at this time." ”
"That's true, I was there at the time of the destruction, and I can attest to that." The destruction of nightmares must be carried out under the supervision of the high priest and the two elders, and when Cao Zhihan destroyed the two nightmares at the beginning of the year, Ding Yi and Elder Bai Shen went in person.
"I can also prove that if the castle masters don't believe me, the destroyed pit can now be dug up and examined." Bai Shen also opened his mouth.
"Is there anyone still holding nightmares? The blood of the six castles of the Snow Mountain cannot be left in vain, Lord Subao, no matter what, we have to bring Cao Zhihan back to the big meadow, there is always a way to pry his mouth open. Wang Xiaoyan's father, Wang Ergui, stopped at the door early, and if Cao Zhihan was not left today, a big war was inevitable.
In order to protect Cao Kui's safety, Cao Zhihan secretly gave two nightmares to Cao Kui, and the two destroyed were just two inferior products that did not meet the requirements.
At the beginning, the elders who served as the high priests and overseers carefully compared them with the records recorded in the archives every moment, but they had to destroy a few nightmares every year, even Ding Yi and Bai Shen would not have thought that someone would steal the beams and change the pillars, so they routinely looked at the detonation scene and left this matter behind.
"Presumptuous, do you think the Snow God Sect is snow-rubbing? He was ashamed to detain Elder Ben. Of course, Cao Zhihan knew that it must be the two nightmares in Cao Kui's hands that were taken away and used to murder the people of the Six Castles of the Snow Mountain, but he didn't know who was behind the scenes, so he asked for self-protection first.
The lord of Gaobao is the most anxious, this group of white-haired and blue-eyed people have been here for a long time, and they can't say why, Cao Zhihan is the only person directly related to the nightmare, if he doesn't stay, it is difficult for the people of the six castles of the Snow Mountain to die so inexplicably.
The lord of the high castle was no longer verbose, the powerful true qi was released, and he held the sword and slashed forward, wanting to separate Cao Zhihan from the Snow God Sect now.
There were so many people in the house who had ghosts in their hearts that they went, and as soon as the lord of the castle moved, he even moved with all the people.
Su Lang and Ding Yi were relatively restrained, trying their best to separate the two groups of people, Cao Zhihan and his friendly elders naturally resisted desperately, and Zhong Liqun's faction intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from Cao Zhihan, wouldn't it be beautiful if they could get rid of Cao Zhihan with the hands of the six forts of the Snow Mountain.
Therefore, although the number of people is very different, it is also equal.
They are all great masters of the Nian Realm, but there are some differences in the realm, one side is desperate to attack, the other side is desperate to resist, and they gradually let go of their hands and feet after fighting.
The house had already been demolished, the weapons frequently hit each other, the true qi arrows flew indiscriminately, and there was constantly the sound of the distant buildings being hit by the air arrows collapsing.
People are constantly injured, after all, the number of the six castles in the snow mountain is smaller, and the back of the flat head of the lord of the high castle has been slashed off a layer of scalp by qi, and the blood is dripping, and he shouted Su Lang in pain, "Brother Su, if you don't take out the needle crossbow again, our lives should be lost here." ”
Seeing that the situation of the lords of the six forts in the Snow Mountain was indeed critical, Su Lang flew back a few steps and shouted to Liu Hemin and Wang Ergui, "Protect me from the crossbow!" ”
As soon as he heard that Su Lang was going to sacrifice a needle crossbow, Ding Yi hurriedly fell into the middle of the fight, and resisted several attacks on both sides, "If you don't want to die, stop." ”
Both sides were red-eyed, no one paid attention to him, and Ding Yibai received several palms.
Su Lang quickly loaded his crossbow, holding a needle crossbow in each hand, and shouted into the field, "Snow Mountain Six Forts withdraw." ”
The rest of the five fort lords cooperated all year round, full of tacit understanding, and quickly got rid of the battlefield, and the people of the Snow God Sect also knew the power of the needle crossbow, so they were naturally not far behind, Cao Zhihan and Zhong Lichun ran the fastest.
Only Ding Yi, He Weifeng, and Elder Bai Shen remained in the field.
"In-laws, don't be impulsive, everything is negotiable, don't fall for the divisive." Ding Yi persuaded Su Lang bitterly.
If you really let Su Lang kill Ding Yi, Su Lang can't do it, after all, he has been a brother for many years, and he is about to become a son and daughter's in-law, and Su Lang still trusts Ding Yi's character.
When Su Lang was hesitating, two figures fell from the sky.
It was Zhao Lanxiu and Huang Yi.
Zhao Lanxiu held the Snow God Whip in his hand, and his thin body seemed to have infinite strength, and he struck the ground with a whip, pulling out an extremely long and deep whip mark, completely separating the two groups of people.
Zhao Lanxiu looked like he might be blown down by a gust of wind at any time, but his momentum had already climbed to the peak of the upper realm of the Nian Realm, and with the Snow God Whip in his hand, he could decide the life and death of everyone present at any time.
"Elder Zhao." Even the castle master of the Six Castles of the Snow Mountain, seeing Zhao Lanxiu here, also dispersed the true qi in his body.
"I'm just dying, and I haven't closed my eyes yet." Zhao Lanxiu glanced at everyone, "If there is evidence in the Snow Mountain Six Castles to prove that it was the Snow God who harmed your son, I, Zhao Lanxiu, will be the first to die." ”
"Otherwise, before the Snow Festival, anyone who makes a move in Xixue City will be killed."
Su Lang felt a powerful true qi suppressing the needle crossbow in his hand, even if he wanted to pull the machine spring, he couldn't move half a point.
"The Great Snow Mountain and the Six Castles of the Snow Mountain co-prosper and coexist, they are close friends and brothers who break bones and tendons, since when will the needle crossbow be aimed at their own brothers, Su Lang, answer me!" Zhao Lanxiu shouted angrily.
"Elder Zhao, the cub of the Six Castles of the Snow Mountain died in Snow Eagle City, under the nightmare of the Great Snow Mountain." Su Lang was neither humble nor arrogant, "Does the Great Snow Mountain just say something that has nothing to do with you?" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's not, what kind of conspiracy there is, let's sit down and find out. I'm putting my words here today, if it was done by Daxue Mountain, in addition to my life, hundreds of people in my Zhao clan can fight for a few of your cubs. ”
"If I find out who the murderer is, please rest assured that before I die, I will also cut off the heads of the murderer's entire clan and send them to Liubao to comfort the spirits of several young castle lords in the sky, and ensure that not even a single snow dog in the murderer's house will be left." Zhao Lanxiu glanced at Cao Zhihan intentionally or unintentionally.
Cao Zhihan's whole body was like ice, and a kind of fear from the soul instantly spread through every pore.
Su Lang exchanged glances with several castle lords, and saw that the most grumpy castle lords all agreed with Zhao Lanxiu's opinion, and replied to Zhao Lanxiu immediately, "According to what Elder Zhao said, let's go back to Liubao first and wait for news, I hope that Daxue Mountain will not let Liubao feel cold, otherwise it will ......."
Now in this situation, of course the Snow Mountain Six Castles will not stay in Xixue City any longer, the rift has already arisen, and the following words Su Lang did not say, and everyone understands the meaning.
After Su Lang and the others left, Zhao Lanxiu's strong momentum suddenly disappeared, and he fell softly.
Ding Yi instructed He Weifeng and Huang Yi to send Elder Zhao back to Zhao's mansion and go after Su Lang by himself.
On the snowfield, a group of shadows guarded a snow chariot.
On the chariot sat two teenagers in ragged clothes.
The blood had long since congealed and stuck to the leather robe. Since Su Zizhong woke up, he didn't close his eyes for two whole days, nor did he eat or drink, but just drank pot after pot of Snow Flame wine.
Pu Cao squinted her eyes for a while, looked at Su Zizhong's sluggish appearance, sighed, and helped Su Zizhong's wound change the medicine again.
The corpses of Zhu Youzhi and several young castle masters, Ding Yang, had already arranged for someone to send them back to the big meadow, and originally wanted to send Su Zizhong back, but Su Zizhong just shook his head and grabbed Xue Yuan's wheel with his hand.
The four snow dogs did not know the taste of sorrow, and they stuck out their tongues and pulled the snow chariots to gallop.
"Zizhong, don't drink it."
Su Zizhong glanced at Pu Cao, turned his head, and stared blankly at the mark of the snow chariot galloping on the snow.
"Zizhong, cheer up." Pu Cao didn't know how to comfort Su Zizhong, although the time on the big meadow was short, it was very pleasant to get along with Liu Hemin and others, and they were all worth cutting off their heads and changing their necks, "Zizhong, if you collapse, who will help your brothers avenge." ”
"Yes, revenge, I want revenge, and I will live for them." Su Zizhong grinned weirdly, "Pu Cao, remember, from now on, I am no longer the Su Zizhong of the past, I am Liu Hemin, I am Gao Biantou, and I am Wang Xiaoyan." ”
"They're gone, and I have to live for them." Su Zizhong's expression at the moment made Pu Cao very unfamiliar, and there was an indescribable horror, "You will help me, right?" ”
"Zizhong, you sleep well first, I will help you." Pu Cao saw that Su Zizhong was really about to fall into a daze, so he had to coax him first.
"I only dare to believe you now, even Ding Yang can't believe it, I have to sleep well, whoever hurts them, I will kill whomever I want. Pucao, you must guard me, as soon as my eyes were closed, I saw their miserable appearance, and they shouted to me, Zizhong, I hurt so much. Su Zizhong's fingers were tangled together, "They hurt so much, but I can't help, Pucao, I can't help, I'm useless." ”
Pu Cao gently patted Su Zizhong's back, let Su Zizhong lean on him, and pulled a shadow of the big to help Su Zizhong cover it.
Su Zizhong finally fell asleep, and the blood and tears hanging on his face fell to the corners of his mouth, frozen into two hard blood marks, like a demon's makeup.
