"Didn't expect me to come?"

"I really didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi would deign to come."

"I'm your senior brother, if I don't come, I'm afraid no one will know if you throw your life here."

"My life is very hard, and I won't be able to die for a while."

"You, as your name suggests, look tough and fiery, but in fact you are an iron-shelled turtle hiding in the mire."

The Lord's Mansion of the Fortress of the Tenth Day.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi twisted the black robe on his body, and a stream of rain fell from the corners of the soaked robe, wetting the bluestone floor.

Yu Lie was dressed in iron armor and his face was pale.

"How?" Qi Ge shook his wrinkled robe, his technique was skillful, not at all like a pampered and worried prince, he looked at Yu Lie's blood-colored eyes and smiled: "Just now, I thought I saw two red lanterns, but who knew that it was my good junior brother, the Tiger of Yanjing." Last time, you made a scar on your face, and this time you simply got a pair of eyes that are exactly the same as the evil spirit, could it be that you don't want to be a turtle anymore, you want to learn to fly in the sky? As he spoke, he slapped Yu Lie, but he didn't want to touch the wound on Yu Lie's chest.

Yu Lie bent over and snorted.

"Why, the Tiger of Yanjing, which can't be beaten to death and can't be hammered, is injured? This is a rare thing. Ziggy was still smiling, but his eyes were full of concern.

Luo Ying pushed the door and walked in, followed by two soldiers, who brought a plate of fragrant roasted lamb shanks and a jar of spirits, all of which were the food that Ziggy had brought with him.

The rain was still falling outside, and the clammy wind swept in through the doorway, shaking the candle flame on the desk and the fire in the brazier in the corner of the house.

"Poisoned, wolf poisoned arrows."

"Wolf poison arrows? Are you still alive? ”

"As I said, my life is so hard that no one can take it away."

"Really?"

The leg of lamb is roasted very strongly, and some spicy spices are sprinkled on it, and the wine is also a good wine, the jade brew spring of Qi country. Zige's eating appearance is very elegant, holding a small silver sword in his hand, eating while cutting, and taking a sip from time to time with a wine bowl. The slave lord's eating appearance was ugly, he held half a leg of mutton, gnawed it heavily, and picked up the wine bowl, which was also a burst of gurgling drink.

There was something eerie about the atmosphere in the room.

The big firebird came over, Yu Lie threw the unfinished leg of mutton to it, pulled up the big leg behind him and wiped his hands: "How do you know it's me?" ”

"If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do." Zig shook his head and smiled, and pointed the silver sword with half a piece of mutton at the big firebird that was gnawing on the leg of mutton: "Although the world is big, there is no other divine bird like Zhu Xie, since there is a Suzaku hovering in the sky above the Ten Sun Fortress, then, who else do you think the guard here can be?" ”

"You're here for the public loss, aren't you?" Yu Lie drank the last drop of wine in the bowl, and his pale face was a little more bloody. Gong Yi was a nobleman of the Qi State, and he was the former right doctor, and now he was a prisoner of the slave lord, and the profiteer was willing to sell him at a price equal to that of two thousand slaves, but Yu Lie did not agree.

"Male loser?"

The smile on Zige's face froze, and he slowly put down the meat, put down the wine bowl, and looked straight at Yu Lie, his eyes filled with bitterness and annoyance: "Six hundred and eighty miles from Jimo to the fortress of Xunri, when I came, I brought three horses, and in order to get here as soon as possible, two of them died of exhaustion on the road, and they were all my beloved horses. However, I have no regrets, because you are my junior brother, the only junior brother. With that, he stood up and walked to the window, dripping with water from his still undried black robes.

Looking at his lonely and depressed back, Yu Lie was stunned for a moment, apologies and warmth came over him, he walked to Zig's side and looked out the window. For a long time, although Yu Lie and Qi Ge have known each other for many years and have the affection of brothers, but in the hearts of the slave lords, Qi Ge is Qi Ge, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, the proud son of the sky, the incarnation of the son of the sun, and he is incompatible with himself, and there are only a few people who can be called friends, Yan Toe, Yan Wu, Guan Luofeng and other six people. Perhaps, for Ziggy, this is indeed a sadness.

The rain beat the vigorous iron trees, and fourteen men in black robes stood tall in the hallway. In the corridor, the light in the alcove was faint, and the cold wind blew, and it shivered on the cold rainy night and the fourteen motionless people, who were incomparably majestic, they stood at the intersection of light and darkness, like fourteen silent stone sculptures, the invisible momentum condensed around them, and the rain fell along the sword in their hands. They are the black warriors of the Qi State, they are all children of the nobility, and they swore allegiance to the monarch of the Qi State for the rest of their lives, and at the same time, they are also the disciples of the world's first swordsman Meng Qi. They rarely go to the battlefield, however, they are the world-famous palace guards, on the same level as King Jingtai's Song Qingqi, the Song Kingdom's Xuanjia Iron Guard, Dayong's Chiyan Swordsmen, and Southern Chu's Blood Phoenix Guard. However, if you talk about the real combat power, although the black warriors of Qi are only three hundred, but without exception they are one in ten thousand, back then, the Marquis of Qi and the king of Dongyi fought a decisive battle in the Sun Moon Gorge on the coast of the East China Sea, three hundred black warriors rode away on war horses, like a roaring wave, in one fell swoop to break the king of Dongyi's Chinese army array, that is 18,000 people of the Chinese army array!

Looking at these black warriors, Yu Lie's eyes shrank. Heroes have always been the creators of history, and history has never been stingy with praise. Some of the praise was closer to mythology, but the slave lords knew that the myths were not even seen by their own eyes.

At this time, Ziggy suddenly said: "Why don't you ask me if I have brought enough men to take advantage of the rainy night to take down your broken fortress in one fell swoop?" ”

Yu Lie smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that Yu Lie didn't answer, Qi Ge shrugged his shoulders and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes, I am the son of Qi State, how could I come to do such a dirty and sensitive thing, so I definitely didn't come to seek your fortress." So, the question is, how could His Royal Highness, the prince of the Qi Kingdom, suddenly patronize here, still covering his head and face? There is only one answer, and that is that there is someone here who deserves to come. Who could it be? Lose the boss? Yes, the boss of the public loss is the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Qi State, and there are many disciples. If the clever second-class baron catches him, he will definitely be reluctant to kill him, after all, there are strange things to live in. Turning his head, he stared at Yu Lie: "Senior brother, how much do you want to price him?" At this moment, his eyes sparkled with anger, so that his exquisite face turned red.

Yu Lie said: "Half a leg of mutton, half a can of wine." ”

"Half a leg of lamb, half a can of wine?"

"Yes, you've already paid for it." The slave lord smiled indifferently, baring his white teeth.

Ziggy was stunned for a moment and sighed: "Alas, five years ago, in order to compete with me for a plate of lamb shank and half a pot of wine, you and I fought from morning to night, and the two of us beat with a blue nose and swollen face......

"You said it wrong, you were beaten by me and your nose and face were swollen." Yu Lie interrupted him solemnly.

Zigger's face turned red, turned his head, looked at the black warrior under the rainy night, a smile rose in his eyes, and repeated: "Yu Lie, you are my junior brother, the only junior brother. You can hide it from me, but I can't help but save you. Now that this ten-day fortress is being watched by the whole world, have you ever thought about retreating? ”

The smile on Yu Lie's face froze.

Ziggy said again: "If you don't say it, I know it." For the sake of Hotaru, you will only have one choice, and that is to stay here until the teacher comes to save you. However, have you ever thought about how easy it is for people in the world and things in the world to get out once you enter the game? The teacher is the god of war of the Yan Kingdom, and he is also the god of war recognized by the princes of the world, as the god of war, there are thousands of hills and valleys in his chest, there will always be a time to choose, at that time, when he is giving, he will definitely not be soft-hearted, and his eyes will not blink. The glory of the teacher is made from the bones of thousands of soldiers. You, you will be one of them. ”

The flat voice cooled the rain outside the window, and Yu Lie's blood-red eyes froze on the beating splashes, but his heart kept sinking, sinking, sinking, until he was submerged in the boundless abyss.

Qi Ge patted him on the shoulder: "Yan Hou is the son-in-law of King Jingtai, back then, Yongqi attacked Yan, King Jingtai even disregarded his own safety, and personally drove an eight-wheel drive chariot to Zhongli City, preventing the fall of Yan Kingdom. Those who knew about this were already dead, and those who wanted to record it were all beheaded, and those who were not dead were all shut up. So, it is rumored in the world that the teacher defeated the Yongqi 200,000 Jingfu coalition army with 10,000 people, which is really a myth. ”

He smiled and continued: "Now, King Jingtai asks Yan Hou to send troops, even if Yan Hou knows that the people who go will not return, he will still send capable cadres to die. I'm not as good as a teacher, I don't know what he thinks, but, you are my junior brother, how could I not know you? You may be thinking that the teacher should be in the dark, and when he comes to his senses, he will come to your rescue. ”

"Yu Lie, Yu Lie, the superior is ruthless, you have always boasted of being ruthless, but in fact, you are an amorous person. You are willing to put yourself in a dead situation for the sake of Hotaru. Of course, you are the Tiger of Yanjing, you will not sit still, you will be surrounded by thousands of people, covered in bloody wounds, roaring with teeth and claws. You will reveal your husband's lost identity to the world, and even, you will disclose your identity to the world, and then, painfully, crack your teeth, and pounce on all the enemies, hoping to die with them. However, my junior brother, everything you think is nothing more than a clear chess move that has already been deduced. My junior brother, you are just like your chess, you look extremely sharp, strong and uncast, in fact, if you are too strong, you will dismantle it. ”

"So, you never admit that you lost to me in that chess game, did you?"

Yu Lie's voice was low and deep, I don't know when, he lowered his head, the cold rain poured in through the window, hit his face, the blood-red eyes dimmed, blurred, the light on the wall niche floated in from outside, shaking his face full of rain, his cheeks bulged slightly, but the corners of his mouth turned up little by little.

"Come with me to Qi Kingdom, you are my junior brother, the only junior brother, I will protect you. One day, you will become the great general of the Qi Kingdom, leading a sea of white helmets to swallow those who have given you shame. Bury them all in hell. ”
