A large bird flew from the sky, shot like an arrow into the sky above Zhongli City, circled around the hornless cow and horse, let out a long shrill roar, and then turned and flew in the direction from which it came, as if to announce to the world that Zhongli City was its territory.

"Woo......"

The sound of the horn faded, and the tail note trembled in the cold wind.

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the people of the city and the people of the city looked at the place where the sound came from, and in the distance, a row of small black dots was squeezed out on the white horizon, followed by a tattered banner of Xuanyao, which was pulled by the cold wind, and trembled like rags.

"It's finally here."

Zhongli Hongfu on the city wall looked at the big banner and let out a dream-like moan, he waved his hand and said coldly: "Close the city gate and prepare for battle!" ”

"No."

The long-awaited armor soldiers roared in unison, raised their halberds one after another, and wound their arrows.

"Bang ......"

The two-foot-thick wooden door slowly closed, and the crowd of people coming in and out of the city wall was in a state of confusion, screaming, pushing each other, desperately burrowing into the city, like a colony of ants suddenly exposed to the light of the fire.

"Why, master?"

Zhongli Hongfu asked anxiously, his face filled with anxiety. Zhongli Honghu patted him on the shoulder: "If you let them into the city easily, won't you let the heroes of the world look down on me Zhongli?" ”

Zhongli Hongfu's face changed greatly, he opened his mouth, and he wanted to say something more, but Zhongli Honghu had already turned his head and looked coldly at the Xuanniao banner that was getting closer and closer.

The banner fluttered in the wind, the heaven and the earth were slaughtered, and the crowds who had not had time to enter the city rushed in all directions, they hid in the forest, behind the dirt slope, and watched in horror as the fluttering flag got closer and closer, and when they could distinguish the patterns on it, everyone couldn't help but breathe, since it was a Xuanniao, it would not be an enemy, but since it was a Xuanniao, why would the lords and soldiers on the city wall be like a great enemy? Some people were puzzled, so they dared to climb up the small dirt slope, stand on the top of the slope, and look at the marching army.

What kind of army is this?

Their flag was tattered like a rag, and upon closer inspection, the head of the bird was gone, and the wings were covered with arrow holes. And those cavalrymen on horseback did not wear big hats, they wore black armor, and the miserable scene of the destruction made people unbearable to look at directly, even the war horses under the seats were weakly stepping on their hooves, their bodies were full of dirt, and they could no longer recognize their original appearance.

The only exception is one ride.

The man rode a leper horse, with a crown of plates up to half a foot on his head, a splendid brocade robe covered with intricate embroidery, and a palm-wide jade belt around his waist, and a sword pouch hanging from the edge of the jade belt inlaid with jade gems, and a thin sword with rich ornamentation and fine workmanship hung inside. At first glance, the people are very glamorous, and the horses are ugly, which is quite funny. But the man didn't care at all, he walked in front of everyone with his head held high. A young soldier rode beside him, as if talking to him. The soldier looked tired, with a shallow scar at the corner of his eye and cheek, and his armor was the most torn, his shoulder armor was missing, his breastplate was sunken, and there was a terrifying arrow hole in his right chest.

"Where did they come from, and why are they so embarrassed?"

"Could it be the army of Vachu?"

"Vachu? The ridiculous Falchu of the world! ”

"Who's the leader?"

"The one in charge? Don't you have eyes, old man? The man looked like a nobleman, and you can see the clothes he was wearing, the sword he was hanging, and of course, the leper horse was a bit of an eyesore. ”

"No, I'm asking about the soldier, the soldier with the corners of his mouth a little upturned. Yes, it's him, it's him, look at the eyebrows, the eyes, and, the bird, the bird!! ”

On the slope, an old man with a bell screamed, pointing to the big bird hovering in the sky, his mouth trembled, his whole body trembled, but muddy tears rolled out of his dry eyes. The crowd who was discussing was suddenly quiet, and they all looked at the old man, but saw that the old man's eyes were wide, his breathing became more and more rapid, and then he suddenly spasmed, rolled his eyes, and fell to the sky.

A white-clothed gentleman stepped forward, held the old man in his arms, and pinched his Renzhong acupoint violently, the old man woke up quietly, angry like a gossamer, but he grabbed the white-clothed gentleman, and asked indistinctly: "Who is he, who is he?" Tell me, who is he? ”

"Does the old man know him?"

The white-clothed man looked at the old man suspiciously, but there was a tingling pain in his wrist, it turned out that the old man was too excited, and his long nails sank into his flesh.

The white-clothed scholar endured the pain and said in a low voice: "The Tiger of Yanjing, Yu Lie." ”

"Yu Lie, Yu Lie? Ji Lie, Ji Lie, oh my God, Haotian God! The old man stood up suddenly, stretched out his hands to the big bird in the sky, and then, with a tremble, fell straight into the arms of the white-clothed man.

The procession was marching, getting closer and closer to the tall walls. Yu Lie rode on horseback, staring at the two trance stone sculptures on the city wall, he was very tired, exhausted to the extreme, from the fortress of the tenth day to Zhongli City, he was like a taut string, which could break at any time. Now that Zhongli City is in front of him, he still doesn't dare to be careless, the heart in his chest hangs in his throat, not up or down, making people almost crazy. But he knew that if he fell, or showed any trace of cowardice, then these people behind him would fall into a situation of no catastrophe, besides, there was still a thought in his heart, that is, to live, to return to Yanjing alive, to see Firefly, recently, the gentle and beautiful Wei Da Divine Doctor always appeared in his dreams, calling him earnestly. "Yu Lie, Yu Lie, you have to be obedient, come back quickly......" The voice rang in his ears, and it seemed that he was still in a dream.

I have to live, I have to go back, no one, no city, can stop me.

Thinking, thinking, the slave lord's breathing gradually calmed down, his eyes were no longer foggy, and the two stone sculptures on the city wall were also quiet, no longer in a trance, he quietly put away the short sword inserted into his waist sword, and did not let anyone see a trace of blood oozing from the tip of the sword, which was his own blood.

"Whoever comes, hurry up and rein in the horse, if not, kill him!" A grim voice rang out from the city walls.

The slave lord squinted his eyes and looked at the city wall, his cold eyes were like sharp arrows, he saw Zhongli Honghu under the arrow tower, he recognized this lord, once upon a time they had fought side by side, on the source of the glacier. Moreover, before leaving Zhongli City for the Tenri Fortress, this lord had also drunk with him. But now, he drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at himself condescendingly, as if he were scrutinizing. Yu Lie hated this kind of look, as ruthless as a god on high.

"Can't you see the Xuanniao banner?"

Just when the slave lord was holding back his anger, the husband who was wearing a crown and a brocade robe was already riding a leper horse towards the city gate, shouting as he ran: "Hurry up and open the city gate, I am the public bluff of the Qi country, the third-class viscount, I want to go to Yanjing and meet the Marquis of Yan!" ”

"Bang!"

Although the leper horse had a violent temper, he ran as fast as lightning, and in the twinkling of an eye he was within two hundred paces of the wall, when suddenly there was a chord on the wall, and an arrow broke through the air and stuck in front of the horse's hoof. Zhongli Honghu held the bow and said in a loud voice: "If you dare to make a mistake, shoot it on the spot!" ”

"No!"

"Herod'......"

The tail of the arrow couldn't stop trembling, the leper horse raised his front hooves and screamed, the husband was almost thrown off the horse, hugged the horse's neck tightly, turned around and ran, panting and running to Yu Lie's side: "How can this be reasonable, it is really bold and reckless, he actually wants to shoot the old decay!" Could Zhongli Honghu be a straw bale? ”

The husband was trembling with anger and kept scolding, which was completely beyond his expectations. Of course, Yu Lie was the same, at this moment, the slave lord Tie was blushing, and he looked at Zhongli Honghu on the city wall from a distance of three hundred steps. The eyes of the two were like cold swords intertwined, and neither knew what was going on with each other. And Zhongli Hongfu, who was standing next to Zhongli Honghu, his face was also cloudy, he stared at the neck of his family master, and secretly touched the short sword hidden in his sleeve, but an unattainable voice sounded in his heart: "I want him to live." ’

"Hahaha."

Suddenly, Zhongli Honghu burst out laughing: "If you are the Tiger of Yanjing, what kind of hero are you, why don't I recognize you?" But I heard that a group of bandits escaped from the Hengshan corridor, and I heard that the bandit leader rode a strange bird and flew to the top of the snow-capped mountain, covering the snow-capped fortress in one fell swoop. However, this is Zhongli City, the border city of Yan Kingdom, no matter what kind of bandit it is, it is not allowed to enter. Unless, you fly up on that bird. ”

"Since you don't know me, that's what you want."

A desperate, cold voice shot out from between Yu Lie's teeth, and only he could hear it, and he raised his head and beckoned to the great firebird that was hovering in the sky. 'Wow! The big firebird screamed, and swooped to Yu Lie's horse, and frightened the horse back a few steps, but Yu Lie jumped up from the horse's back, and jumped onto the back of the big firebird, and the big firebird flapped its wings violently, and rushed towards the tall city wall like an arrow off the string.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Wolf's Tooth Arrow!!"

The armor soldiers on the city wall shouted hoarsely, but it was too late, and the distance of three hundred paces was only between the wings of the great firebird, and the arrows on the strings of the archers had not yet left the strings, and a strong wind had already swept in. The Great Firebird flapped its huge wings and curled them up and down, and at this moment, Yu Lie pulled out an iron sword like a jagged tooth, jumped up from the back of the Great Firebird, grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stabbed it against the top of Zhongli Honghu's head.

Thunder sweeps the holes, but that's it.

"Slow !!"
