The smell of blood wafted through the damp wind.

A black bird flew through the fog, circled a few times above the big flag at the entrance of the town, gathered its wings, and stopped on the flag, it was exactly the same as the bird embroidered on the flag.

The fog outside the town was thick, and the head of the horse in the armor was picked out of the fog, and then the vigorous chest, the slender and powerful legs of the horse, and the man on the horse wore armor and a blood-red tattered haze. More and more people came from the fog that was so thick that they couldn't dissolve, and they all looked indifferent, and their cold eyes were as depressed as death, like a ghost who had just come out of the water. Hundreds of slaves followed behind this group of ghosts, like a silent dragon, most of them Dongyi people.

Next to the man in the red coat walked a thin horse, which was so thin that the ribs protruded outward, and no one rode it, but a black and thin fellow was holding the reins to help it go forward, and as soon as it entered the town, it spewed out a breath of turbid air from its nose, and then lay weakly in a patch of tender grass and gnawed silently.

The profiteer Le Mi stood next to the horse, those tender grasses were ordered by him in advance to go to the depths of Yunlu Mountain to find, the grass leaves were tender and green like buds, and the refined soybeans that accompanied it were soaked in warm water, and the old horse's teeth were not good, so he could not eat raw beans.

But all mercenaries have a strange temper, the green lion legion of the country of Yu will inevitably sacrifice the martyrs after the war, the red maple legion of the country of Gu will ask the witch to dance a war dance before the war, the scorpion legion of the country of Huo likes to burn and kill and plunder, they die quickly, they die in the hands of Le Mi, because no employer is willing to hire such an army, Le Mi was ordered by the general to block the scorpion legion station, let them starve to death inside, I heard that they are still killing each other before they die.

However, the Ghost Car Legion is different, they kill people more ruthlessly than anyone else, but they never kill anyone other than the enemy, and they don't waste their strength by moving a finger at those who have nothing to do, they are like businessmen who pay blood and sweat in exchange for the right to survive and grow.

This is something that Le Mi appreciates very much.

However, they also have a strange temper, and whenever there is a battle, the blood-clad man will ride on the lean horse and walk slowly along the battle formation, and whenever the moment comes, these people who have risen from hell will fall into madness, blood-eating madness. In this regard, Le Mi was puzzled, but he was a businessman, not a famous child, he didn't need to delve into the reasons behind the matter, he just needed to know how to use clever means to make this group of devils obey, and worshipping the thin horse high was one of the means.

If you want to take it first, you must give it first.

Le Mi stroked the old horse's neck, walked to the person dressed in blood, pointed to the warehouse where weapons were stored in the town, and said with a smile: "One hundred sets of heavy armor, fifty sets of horse armor, four hundred iron and wooden shields, three hundred heavy swords, one hundred and eighty halberds, one hundred and twenty long and short bows, a number of arrows, and three chariots, all of which have been put into storage." ”

Hearing this, the person in the red coat looked stunned, and after a while, he turned his head to stare at Le Mi, and said coldly: "Half more." As he spoke, he took a step back because he was half a head shorter than Le Mi, who was more than seven feet long.

"The extra is prepaid."

Le Qi smiled.

……

The stars blinked in the sky, and the oblique hooked moon swayed in the galaxy. Cloudtown was unusually quiet at night, and there was no sound in the surrounding area.

The sword lay across the sword stand, and the gentle night breeze poured in through the window, shaking the faint light on the desk, and he knelt in the middle of the table, tilting his head to stare at the sword on the stand.

Eight years, in the blink of an eye.

He is no longer a cheap slave in Shaotai City, nor is he a maid of the Hou Zi, he has forgotten the ballad that his mother taught him to sing before he died, and even forgot his appearance, all he remembers is this sword and this cold iron helmet. Yes, he was still wearing an iron armor and an iron helmet, not because he was afraid of being seen, but because he was afraid that as soon as he took it off, he couldn't help but cry.

Tonight, he was unarmouring, but he was not crying.

Singing rang out in the slightly flickering lights.

"The spring sun is clear, according to my new clothes, the summer stars are bright, caress my temples, the autumn moon is bright, blow my breast, the winter snow is clean, cover my knees......"

The soft singing voice was like silk, as if a gentle hand was gently smoothing the wound, in the fluctuating light, he removed his hand armor, immersed his hand in a basin of warm water, the water in the basin gradually became a pale red, he washed the blood stains on his hands, put his hand under the lamp to see, ten fingers are as slender as jade, one more is too fat, less than a trace is too thin.

The beautiful hand untied the strap under the chin, held the iron helmet and gently lifted it up, and suddenly, the waterfall-like hair flew down, he was stunned, for a long time, and smiled at the bronze mirror opposite, the person in the bronze mirror is so beautiful, thin eyebrows, bright eyes, straight nose, small mouth, a smile is so moving, but also so strange. He remembered that a person once muttered to himself, saying that the person in this mirror must be a character who has brought disaster to the country and the people when he has grown up, but now it seems that it is not false.

Thinking of this, he curled the corners of his small mouth, wanting to smile or smile, but his movements were quite jerky, smiling but not smiling, he was not discouraged, he blinked, trying to make the eyes of the person in the mirror appear stars, however, the beauty in the mirror disappointed him, her eyes as bright as snow flashed not stars, but cold ice. Even so, he still did not give up, began to hurriedly remove his armor, put on a set of bright yellow deep skirts, put on small and delicate embroidered shoes, and took out a bag from the dark compartment of the low case, there was a hanging tassel in it, he looked at this beautiful ribbon fixedly, took a deep breath, held his breath, carefully took it out, held it with his lips, pulled the long snow-bursting hair loosely behind his back, and then tied the ribbon behind his head.

Facing the bronze mirror, he lifted his skirt sideways and glanced at it.

Took a turn and glanced at it again.

Gege ...... laughed.

After a while, he was sure that he had adapted to the present appearance, so he took the sword from the sword rack, saddled it behind his back, pushed open the door, and walked down the narrow, empty corridor.

Because of wearing thin-soled embroidered shoes, the stone slab is damp and slightly cold, and the two sides of the corridor wall covered with green vines are hung with air dead wind lamps, and the night wind blows over, and the lights cannot be shaken, and it is slightly cold. He pursed his lips, shook his hands, and there were two more strange weapons in his hands, curved, like the moon in the sky, and he carried them forward, as if he could resist the cold and timidity.

If it is the road, there will be an end.

He came to a place to pause, this is the closest place to the mountain in Cloud Town, and it is also the forbidden place of the Ghost Car Legion, except for the legion leader and the seven leaders, no one is allowed to approach, if there is trespassing, there will be no mercy.

"Xiao Yu? Hou Zi. ”

The strong man who was blind in one eye stood in the dark, and he looked at the fair woman who came from the two rows of dim lights and rubbed his eyes.

"Xiaoyu."

The woman in the bright yellow dress smiled slightly, walked to the strong man's side, picked up the plate axe on the ground, stuffed it into his hand, and then stared straight at him, her expression was very quiet, and her voice was very affirmative.

"Xiao Yu is so beautiful." The strong man was stunned for a moment and smiled innocently.

The woman smiled, and compared to Fang Cai, her movements were much more natural.

The two of them walked into the darkness one after the other, and walked in the dark along the familiar road until their eyes lit up. This is a cave, the cave is burning with bundles of torches, the cave is very dry, the ground is covered with straw mats, there are low tables, six people are sitting separately, some people are silently drinking, some people are eating meat in large pieces, and some people are silently wiping swords, and the black and thin man sitting on the left is whispering something, the long shadows of the two people are thrown into the hole, he stopped talking and stood up.

"Houzi!" "Hou Zi! ”

Everyone got up and saluted the place where the shadow had come, and in the blink of an eye, the woman walked into the cave, and all six of them were stunned.

"Xiaoyu?" The black and thin man opened his mouth and spit out two words, with a strange expression.

The woman's face remained unchanged, she indifferently walked to the middle position and sat down, took off the sword behind her back, put it on the left side of the case, and asked, "Xiao Hei, has the person you sent to Yan Kingdom to investigate come back?" ”

"Minister, Gongsun Yibai."

The black and thin little man blushed on his face, and he was reasonable. Who knows, the woman didn't pay attention to him at all, just looked at him coldly. After a while, he was stunned by the woman's eyes, lowered his head, and said softly: "The spies have returned, but nothing has been found." ”

For eight years, every once in a while, they would send spies all the way to Yanjing City to find out a person who had disappeared for eight years.

Hearing the news, the woman's pale face turned a little whiter, and the index finger pressed on her knee was also curled, and Xiao Hei, named Gongsun Yibai, caught a glimpse of her action, and her neck suddenly became cold, and she subconsciously shrank.

The torches on the stone pillars in the cave swayed, the atmosphere was as cold as ice, and everyone looked at the woman intentionally or unintentionally, the most important one was the man in black, he stared at the sword on the woman's case, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes that could not be erased.

The woman closed her eyes, as if taking a breath, and when she opened her eyes, her expression was already calm: "Let's talk about it, how to deal with it?" ”

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Gongsun Yibai hurriedly said: "Back to the marquis, the minister thinks that the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again, no matter what the general plans to do, our ghost car army is involuntarily, why not plan it, not only return the favor, but also take the fortress, and seize the north road?" ”

"Going north? After seizing the North Road, should we go to Yan Country or enter Yong Kingdom? My great witch officer, Gongsun Yibai! The woman looked at Gongsun Yibai fixedly, and snorted coldly.

Gongsun Yibai's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Hou Zi, what happened back then, the incident happened suddenly, and the minister really didn't expect to meet the army of Qi when he robbed the grain, so he was detained by Le Ning and came to Qi and was trapped for eight years. However, blessings and misfortunes depend, misfortunes and blessings lurk, we have been able to grow in the country of Qi, and established the Ghost Car Army, if the fortress is opened at this time, it can make a difference in the north and south. As he spoke, his expression was dumbfounded.

And this group of them is the guards of Ji Lie back then. Eight years ago, Xiao Hei, who was a witch official, accidentally lost his way for a while, and brought everyone to the back of the army of Qi to rob the grain, and the result was very miserable, almost the entire army was wiped out, if it weren't for the general of Qi State, Le Ning, who suddenly became interested in the black-clothed Song Rang, I am afraid that they would have already become ghosts under the knife. Therefore, everyone complained about Xiao Hei for eight years, but in Xiao Hei's heart, he didn't think so, he thought, if it weren't for that crooked fight, although the world is big, there is no more suitable soil for the survival of the ghost car army than Qi country, what are you going to do in Yan country? Hou Zi is already dead, even if he wants to pay for his blood debt, he must have strength.

At this time, the sword and shield hand Ji Ying, who had been silent, spoke: "If you go to the fortress of Xunri, regardless of the casualties, it doesn't matter if you can capture the fortress or not, just in the future, if someone learns that it is our ghost car army that secretly sabotaged the major affairs of the war, then although the world is big, there will be no place for us!" How can we go south to north? Not to mention revenge for Hou Zi! ”

"Who is Le Ning?"

The little black witch stood on a stone and said loudly: "Le Ning is the general of the Qi Kingdom!" If this matter is leaked out, not only will our ghost car army suffer from annihilation, but even the Qi country will be scolded by the world! So, can he still sit firmly in the position of general? Under Qi Hou's anger, can he still keep his head on his neck? Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "Therefore, it is not us who should be worried, but the general!" ”

"That's true, but aren't you afraid that Le Ning will cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Ji Ying said coldly.

As soon as he heard this, the little black witch official's expression fell, and after a long time, he spread his hands: "We have no choice, but life is death, death is life, and the rotation of yin and yang has always been between one thought." We have been trapped in the East for eight years, we are hovering on the edge of life and death, we are brave and invincible, but we are not strong, and this is all due to Lening. Now, we have to make a choice, as far as I know, the Song Hou is about to die, and the Song Kingdom is already in chaos! And on the south bank of the Liuyuan River, I heard that An Jun is also dying, and there is no time for me! We don't have a choice, or we're the next army of scorpions! After saying that, he blushed and looked at the woman sitting in the center.

Everyone looked at the woman, for eight years, she had never done anything, but when it came time to decide, it was she who made up her mind.

At this moment, the pin drop can be heard.

She slowly stood up, silently put the sword that had never been unsheathed behind her back, and said a word.

"Go!"
