North, Hades Arm.

The Hades Arm, as another road connecting the Misty Prison Valley and Frost River City, is rarely taken. Because the road is dangerous. The Hades arm is very narrow and long, and the Hades arm, as a dangerous road near the Ice Helmet Mountain Range, although there are towering icebergs and dangerous peaks on both sides from a distance, the Hades arm is in the middle of the mountain belt. The edge of the dangerous path of the Hades Arm is actually an endless abyss, and once it falls, it will be doomed.

As a straight passage in the valley, the entire Hades arm is also the most urgent place for wind and snow, when the cold wind is strongest, it can even blow the mountain rocks, for hundreds of years, whether it is the Imperial or the Tieli people, many people who try to take the Hades arm to reach the Fog Prison Valley or reach the Frost River City have been hung down the cliff by the cold wind and fell into the abyss.

And that's not even the most sinister. Although species are scarce in the Far North, the Hades Arm, which is known as a man-eating beast, is not a lie. In the Northern Regions, there is a giant bird called the Snow Eagle, which is extremely ferocious by nature, and they live mainly in groups, and for many years they feed on fish in the ice lake, but more often, they prey on humans. Or corpses blown down into the abyss by the cold wind, or living people walking on Hades' arms just as they move.

The dangerous terrain, the harsh climate, and the man-eating beasts have become the origin of the name of the Hades arm.

This incomparably long and narrow dangerous road, which is only more than ten zhang wide, is now a person. This person was so powerful that those snow eagles hovering in the air did not dare to attack.

Li Nianyun felt a little cold. Tightening his clothes in the cold wind, as the first supporter to come to the northern realm, Li Nianyun felt the battle from a distance on the arm of the Hades near the Fog Prison Valley, and the situation of the war in the northern region was worse than he imagined. This war will create countless legends, and in Li Nianyun's view, the legend of Xiang Wu will inevitably make everyone feel awe.

The black cloud in the distance had been gone for a while. At this moment, Zhong Yunxiu was treating Xiang Wu, but Xiang Wu's injuries were extremely serious, and the flesh wounds could be healed quickly. However, the qi remaining in Xiang Wu's viscera could not be removed by the Great Heaven Creation Technique or the Flowing Cloud Technique. Before the Great General Xiang Wu officially refines the enemy general's remaining attacks in his body, his combat power will not be able to return to its peak state.

In particular, the extremely cold sword invasion of Heredub was not even under the frost and cold of the Cold Hidden Sect. The great general will not be able to fight again in a short time, but for the Empire, the results achieved by this great general are definitely worth it.

Not long ago, there was a shocking battle that would go down in history. In this Northern War in the winter of the thirtieth year of the Qin calendar, the Tieli people gained an increase in combat power due to a certain medicine. The first confrontation between the two armies ended in a crushing defeat for the Imperial army. When the powerful Tieli army was about to send the strongest 20,000 fighters to level the front camp of the empire, the second battle began earlier than everyone expected.

Xiang Wu, the strongest dragon general in the empire, single-handedly attacked deep into the depths of the Fog Prison Valley and penetrated into the belly of the enemy camp. With the invincible bravery in the world, he severely damaged the most elite troops of the Tieli Kingdom, the Cloud Cavalry. And the three strongest generals of the Tieli Kingdom were also wounded in this battle one after another, among which Khredub in the Extreme Realm was the most seriously wounded.

Under the encirclement and suppression of the three highest combat forces and the 20,000 strongest troops of the Tieli Kingdom, the invincible dragon general Xiang Wu bravely killed nearly 10,000 enemies, making the second attack originally planned by the Tieli Kingdom completely collapsed by Xiang Wu.

After this battle, the strongest force of the Tieli Kingdom, the Cloud Cavalry, directly lost nearly half, and the combat strength was greatly damaged, and the strongest three of the seven famous generals of the Tieli Kingdom were also injured. Although Tie Li still has the combat power to lead the empire, it still lacks the courage to attack and the certainty of absolute victory.

The dragon general Xiang Wu's strength made even the Tieli soldiers who had taken the medicine and became bloodthirsty and brutal feel afraid. Xiang Wu smashed into the snowfield wasteland like a black meteorite in a surprise attack. And when he left, he directly fought a bloody way among the 100,000 Tieli soldiers, this kind of undoubted strength, this absolute contempt, made every Tieli general have to consider reestimating the strength of the empire.

As a result, this war could not end quickly, and it became a tug-of-war again.

But in the same way, Xiang Wu also paid a great price, although this great general can still move, and even can fight bravely at the front line, but being surrounded and killed by masters of the same realm and two masters of the peak realm of Jiuye plus tens of thousands of people, it also made the most powerful general of the empire suffer extremely serious internal injuries, and his strength was greatly weakened.

Li Nianyun, Zhong Yunxiu, and Fengzhan were the first to arrive. With the treatment of Zhong Yunxiu and Li Nianyun, Xiang Wu's external injuries have completely recovered. This is extremely important for the Empire.

Because no matter what kind of results Xiang Wu achieves, if Xiang Wu is seen as injured, even if Tie Li Guo loses half of his combat strength, he will not be able to make up for the loss of military spirit and morale. Because for the empire, Xiang Wuqi is already a symbol of the god of war, and once such a figure is unable to fight again, it will definitely be the heaviest blow to the imperial soldiers.

The reason why Li Nianyun felt that the situation of the Northern War was worse than he imagined was that although he and Zhong Yunxiu had healed Xiang Wu's skin injuries and made Xiang Wu look like an uninjured person, he understood that the strongest man in the world was no longer able to fight at this moment.

Xiang Wu is now more like a military flag, comforting the imperial soldiers and intimidating the Tieli soldiers. But when the next battle comes, the Empire's predicament will only get worse.

Li Nianyun looked at the north, this battle would be worse than he imagined, he was a little worried about the female disciples under his disciples, and he didn't know if that group of girls would be able to survive the upcoming tragic war. Treating Xiang Wu alone made Li Nianyun feel a little tired, if it were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, I am afraid that it would be difficult to save everyone if they were exhausted in Yunci Valley.

"Master Li, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Li Nianyun's musings were interrupted by a voice, and Li Nianyun turned around and saw a little monk. He laughed:

"It's really fate, Brother Night."

Monk Xiaoye touched his bare head, everyone called him Master Xiaoya or Master Xiaoye, it was the first time that he was called Brother Xiaoye, but he felt that this title was very appetizing to him.

"Master Li Shi also came here to eat...... Ahh ”

"Do you think this is a good place to see the scenery, Brother Xiaoye?" Li Nianyun said angrily.

"Speaking of which, you came with someone from the Buddhist Sect?"

"Well, the little monk pestered the senior brother to let me go down the mountain, and the senior brother agreed, and let the little monk come to fight against the Tieli people with the rest of the Buddhist sect."

Li Nianyun was in a better mood. This is the road in front of the road. This Xiaoye monk, who is unknown to the nine major factions, is the youngest Jiyi in history, although the gap between Jiyi and Jiyi is also huge, such as Heredubu and Xiang Wu, both of whom are Jiyi, but their strength is completely different. But the Buddhist exercises plus the extreme intention realm is the second Founder Master. Master Fang Zheng has been the second for so many years, in the Chi Yan Nan period, in the Ning Wuxian period, and in the earlier period, this Buddhist old man has always been the second in the world, but every time the first in the world is extremely respectful of Master Fang Zheng, which explains a lot of problems.

And in Li Nianyun's cognition, this Xiaoye monk, who has now inherited the power of the Ninth Buddha, has accepted the power of the strongest Buddha in the Buddha Sect for nearly a thousand years, and may not be as good as Master Fangzheng in terms of exercises, but in terms of realm, I am afraid that it is the highest in the world. If such a strong man helps, the chances of the empire can be even higher.

"Then why are you here if you don't stay in the tent?"

"Oh, the little monk heard the wind donor and the show girl say that there are many beasts that can only be seen in the north here, and the little monk wants to come and have a look, so he came."

Li Nianyun still didn't understand a little: "Brother Xiaoye, what are you doing with these beasts." ”

As he spoke, Li Nianyun heard the sound of swallowing saliva. Xiao Ye clasped his hands together, recited Amitabha, looked at the dozens of snow eagles hovering in the sky with straight eyes, and said:

"Master Li, how to make bird meat delicious?"

……

……

Hongcheng. Haotian Sect, deep in the cathedral.

The relationship between Gongyi Ruri and Zhuo Ao suddenly fell to the freezing point.

Zhuo Ao is still full of spring breeze, with a smile that makes countless girls intoxicated, his wedding is tonight, Gongyi Liuli has been in the grassland for more than two months, and the entire grassland already knows that this Central Plains girl should be the wife of the future wolf prince. Not long after, he came to Hongcheng, and countless believers in Hongcheng also knew that there was a little girl in the temple who would become the wife of the high priest of Haotian.

Zhuo Ao and Gongyu Liuli have known each other for a short time. But as a Haotian sacrifice, he is good at breaking people's hearts, and soon walked into the heart of Gongyi Liuli, and learned a lot about Gongyi Liuli's past, and he is actually very sure of this kind of little girl who is tortured by loneliness and longs to be loved. Although he did a wrong thing and kidnapped the little girl's favorite toy.

Zhuo Ao thinks so, a mute who has no power, no power, no ability, and can't even speak, the reason why it is important to Gongyi Liuli is only because she is used to the existence of this mute, but when it comes to the weight of the heart, in his opinion, the little mute is just a toy that belongs to Gongyi Liuli.

The biggest meaning of toys is to kill boredom and fill some loneliness. When the day comes when there is a better plaything or no longer lonely, the toy can be discarded without even the slightest distress.

Zhuo Ao believes that as long as he has time, he can conquer the public and lose the glass, so that the girl will no longer miss her old toys. So he's very good to the public to lose the glass. After he kidnapped Dumb, he would come every day to tell stories to Gongyu Liuli, telling interesting things about what happened on the grassland and in the church. I also tell some interesting stories shared by the congregation. There are also many myths and legends of the steppe. He will invite the best singers to sing to the public to Ruri. I will also buy different gifts for the public glaze every day.

Gongyi Liuli ignored him, and after Dumb was kidnapped, Gongyi Liuli was like a porcelain doll that couldn't speak, sitting quietly every day.

But Zhuo Ao didn't care, it was as if Gongyi Liuli lived a very sweet life with him every day. He has never had the slightest neglect of the public loss of the glass because of the attitude of the public loss glass.

He also kept his mouth shut about the tricks, did not show any utilitarianism and desire, and was simply expressing his love for his wife. In the eyes of countless people, this prince and priest loved his fiancée deeply, even if his wife did not like to talk much, but he would always insist on spending part of his time talking to his wife every day.

This handsome-looking son of the royal family, who is also in charge of countless disciples in Hongcheng, is the person that countless women dream of marrying. In the eyes of many women, the sixteen-year-old girl in the depths of the church is Haotian's favorite person.

But the public loss Liuli never gave Zhuo Ao a good face. It seems a little unkind, and I don't know what to do.

It's noon, and the streets of Hongcheng are densely red.

Crowd. Tens of thousands of residents rejoiced as they celebrated the upcoming wedding of the Haotian Sacrifice, while the wedding feast was held outside the cathedral.

Even in the depths of the cathedral, which used to be extremely quiet, in the side halls of the temple, where only priests and priests could enter, the joy of the city could be heard.

Gong Ruli looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, he was like a god son, wearing the red sacrificial robe in his words, with a smile that countless women couldn't resist.

Zhuo Ao has become accustomed to the attitude of the public loss glass towards himself. He whispered:

"Liuli, today is our big day, thank you for the happiness you have brought me these days, I believe that our future life will be very beautiful."

As if his fiancée loved him dearly, Joao's words didn't seem like words to someone who didn't love him.

Gongyi Liuli looked at him, a little unfamiliar.

"I know, I kidnapped your friends, and the way I pursued you made you feel disliked, but you will eventually understand what you want, Ruri, you have the ability to make everyone fear, so correspondingly, you should also have a status that makes them envious. Of course, at your age, I also take a very light on any position of power. I know what you want, I'll let your friend go tonight. ”

Zhuo Ao's voice was gentle, and his attitude seemed very sincere.

When he heard the last sentence, he said, "You have to talk about it,"

Zhuo Ao stared at Gong Ruri, with only love in his eyes, and he said: "Not only that, I will let your friend get enough wealth to live the rest of his life, he doesn't have to worry about being bullied, and he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation." I also have a big gift for you. ”

Ruri knows Zhuo Ao's attitude towards her, which is why she can still have such a calm conversation with Zhuo Ao after taking Dumb away.

She doesn't hate Zhuo Ao, as a girl, she also knows Zhuo Ao's excellence, and she has always admitted in her heart that the man in front of her is very charming.

It's just that there seems to be a voice in her heart all the time, she can't remember what it was, she can't remember where she heard it, but every time, when she thinks about whether to accept Zhuo Ao's love for her, she feels an unprecedented panic.

Gong Ruri nodded and said softly, "Okay." ”

She didn't care what gifts Zhuo Ao wanted, but it was important to her that Dumb could live a prosperous life in the future.

"You were born with only one brother to accompany you, and I remember you mentioned that when you were very young, many people didn't like you, and when you grew up, other people were afraid of you. I feel sorry for not meeting you earlier and letting those people look at you like that, Liuli, I will give you the entire Hongcheng, today, Hongcheng will no longer belong to the empire, it will become your palace, your paradise, and everyone here will also belong to you. ”

Zhuo Ao turned his back, walked at the window of the side hall, looked at the bright sunlight outside the window, and said: "In the future, as the master of this city, no one will ever look at you with awe, and they will serve you with the most respectful gaze and the most humble posture. ”

"I will not marry another woman, as my wife, you will be my only woman, in order not to make you feel lonely, in addition to all the people in the city to serve you, I will also take time out of my day to spend with you."

No matter what kind of woman is, she should be happy and even honored to be made such a promise by a prince of the most noble status.

But Zhuo Ao was actually mistaken, he didn't know what Gong Ruri really wanted. Loneliness is not something that will disappear in the hustle and bustle of strangers.

It's just that the little girl is still a little moved. A fugitive who has been on the run for six years is pampered by a man who combines a thousand good things, and she is not completely unmoved.

Zhuo Ao believes that his offensive will impress Gong Lose Liuli, even if it is just to earn a little goodwill, Zhuo Ao thinks it is worth it, at least, so that this little girl will no longer resist marrying him, and will not make some situations he doesn't want to see at tonight's wedding.

Gong Ruri still nodded, and said softly: "Okay." ”

Zhuo Ao did not have a trace of dissatisfaction, he looked at Gongyi Liuli with a gentle gaze and a smile, and then slowly left.

……

At the same moment, the scholar shopkeeper and the cook finally discovered the reason why Hongcheng looked festive. At this moment, they were strolling through the streets of Hongcheng and watching every household celebrate the great sacrifice of the Haotian Sect.

The scholar frowned, he knew that the Haotian Sect had a deep influence on this place, but he didn't expect it to be so deep. He was already convinced that all the people in the entire Hongcheng were followers of the Haotian Sect. Although the scholar was well-read and accustomed to many strange things, he underestimated the power of religious and cultural invasion.

Vaguely, he felt like he had figured out something he hadn't figured out. He began to worry.

Also worried are Ding Qiliang and Chen Hui. The shopkeeper and cook were worried about the scholar, because they had already inquired that the woman who was going to marry was the younger sister of the scholar who had not seen him for six years.

The two thought that the scholar frowned because of this matter, but the scholar was not actually worried about the safety of Liuli. When he heard that the fiancée of the high priest of Haotian was his sister, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, her life will not be in danger, and she will even live a good life.

Of course, there is no doubt about one thing, that is, he will go to rob his relatives, and he will arrange for the shopkeeper to rescue Liuli tonight. He believed that Liuli would not become the fiancée of Haotian Dajie for no reason, because if she was really free, then he should have received a reply from Liuli.

But he didn't receive it, maybe it wasn't that Liuli didn't send the letter, but it was intercepted by Haotian Sacrifice. Or, Liuli can't write a letter, in short, in either case, it shows that Liuli is not really free, so this marriage is definitely not from Liuli's heart.

He didn't know why his sister would agree to marry the high priest of Haotian, but many things didn't need too many twists and turns, just like the surprise attack of the scholar, what he needed, he would ask for it.

On the night of Hongcheng's celebration, he will personally inquire about Liuli.

……

Hongcheng, dungeon.

Not long after Dumb came to Hongcheng, he was robbed of the dungeon. The dungeon is not a real prison cell of the Empire, and the influence of the Empire's institutions in Hongcheng is very low, and many of them have been abandoned.

And this dungeon is the dungeon used by the Haotian Sect to hold heretics.

The smell of the breath here, the blood spots on the walls that had dried up for a long time, made Dumb understand that this was a terrible place. He was scared.

But more than that, it's uneasy. He hadn't seen Gongru in a few months, and he had been worried about his safety after he was kidnapped. Although he can't protect the public loss glass at all. The damp and gloomy dungeon didn't make Dumb uncomfortable, he just felt like he was back in the days when he was alone a few years ago.

At that time, he was far worse than now, and although he was imprisoned in a dungeon, he was not severely beaten. The dungeon was heavily guarded, and he couldn't escape at all. Dumb's mind was filled with a girl's smile and smile, every day.

In the past few months, he has felt more lonely and lost than he has ever felt. He really wanted to lose Ruri.

No one in the dungeon said a word to him, they just locked him up here and then forgot about him. He often pounded hard against the bars, pounding the hard walls with his non-threatening fists.

But this is the darkest of the underground, and no one will bother him.

Dumb always had a fear in his heart, and every day he stayed here, that fear deepened. In the past two years, he has experienced many chases with Gongyi Liuli, and he knows that Gongyi Liuli has this very powerful umbrella. He believed that the public loss glass would turn evil into good fortune with that umbrella, and he was worried about the loss of the glass, but he was more afraid of being forgotten by the public loss glass.

Dumb had a feeling that the world he had been carefully trying to protect was moving away from him little by little, slowly being swallowed up by a shadow.

There was nothing he could do, he was locked up here by the master of that shadow.

Every day, Dumb wakes up in such torment, and then falls asleep because of intense tiredness.

He didn't know how long he would be imprisoned, he wasn't hurt, he wasn't starving, but he felt countless times more tormented than when he was in Fukujin City.

On this day, his still scarred hands were still pounding on the cell door in vain. It seemed that the gods had finally heard his response.

Two Haotian Sect believers holding torches and a gorgeously dressed man slowly walked towards the cell where Dumb was.

In the distance, Zhuota heard the restlessness in Dumb's heart.

"Heh, I'm scared and want to go out, right?"

Dumb stopped, and with the longing in his eyes, he told the man that he wanted to get out.

"You can't even tell your desires, you are really a person abandoned by Haotian." Zhuota actually didn't understand his brother very well, and it was best to kill this mute. Gong Yu Liuli will not know, she will only think that the little mute has stayed away from her and lived a rich life.

But Zhuo Ao seems to have real feelings for the public loss of Ruri, which makes Zhuota feel a little funny.

The heir of the Wolf King fell in love with a fugitive from the Empire.

"Good news for you, you can get out, and you'll get a good buck." Zhuota clapped his hands, and a Haotian priest opened a bag he was carrying, which contained gold and jewels.

Dumbfounded, he looked at Zhuo Ao.

"Aren't you happy that you can spend the rest of your life in peace with this jewel and gold? Sometimes I really envy those people, the meaning of their life is to meet a nobleman, just because they have a little intersection with a nobleman, you can get countless benefits, you are such a person, congratulations, get your wish. There was a disdainful smile in Zoao's eyes.

The cell door was opened, but Dumb still didn't know what was going on, he was arrested and locked up for a few months, and then suddenly he was released and given a lot of money, he didn't understand.

He also sensed that something was wrong, and the feeling that something most important was far away from him was getting stronger and stronger.

"Let's go, don't look back, get out of here." Zota still listens to what she tells her brother.

Dumb was a little unsure at first, and walked very slowly, then he turned back and found that the man was still looking at him with a smile, and he was a little panicked and walked faster.

Freedom, Dumb thought so, very happy and very anxious, he walked faster and was eager to see Gongyi Liuli.

But suddenly, he shuddered, and his eyes were full of fear. Because he heard a word.

"By the way, leave Hongcheng far away and never come back, because your master is already the future queen of this city, and she is already married."
