Volume 1: Overture to the Dead Chapter 60: The Bird Hides the Bow
The chariot and the horse Xiaoxiao, a slowly marching team, woke up in a carriage in the cold night. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the kind and kind face of General Xunchuan Shi.
"We've won?" As soon as the cold night line was uttered, he felt a little redundant. If he hadn't won, what chance would he have to open those eyes again?
Xun Chuanshi looked at Han Yexing with a doting look in his eyes, and sighed lightly: "Yes, we finally won." It's just that this victory came too badly. My good sons and daughters of the 100,000 Xunzi Battalion now have only a few thousand brothers left, and the 50,000 brothers who came to this windy wasteland with us from Xunyang City are only a few hundred left. After all, it's all because I'm an old man who is incompetent......"
Han Yexing struggled to sit up, and said with some anxiety: "How can you blame the general, you can only blame Xiao Xingzi for being incompetent, and repeatedly falling into the trap of Xuanmo, so that all the brothers are harmed...... All ......"
Xun Chuanshi coughed lightly a few times, and wanted to forcibly suppress the dark disease in the spiritual sea that could no longer be suppressed, but he didn't expect that it would cause a series of coughs, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Han Yexing was horrified: "General, your injuries don't matter, right!?Stop, the general needs an elixir to heal......
Xun Chuanshi interrupted the shouting of the cold night walk, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and chuckled: "Don't make such a fuss, there will always be such a day when people get old." It's only a few days away, and once I'm in the city, I'll be fine after a while. Let's not talk about these unpleasant things, let's say something happy. In this battle of the wasteland oasis, your little line has gained a lot and has grown a lot. β
Han Yexing looked at Xunchuan Shi with worry, but in order to make the general happy, he hurriedly nodded: "Most of the problem of mixed spiritual qi in my spiritual sea has been solved, and the soul connection between me and the sunset has been strengthened again, and I have also gained a lot from this spiritual array, just after I readjust and recuperate, I can take another big step forward on this spiritual path." β
Xun Chuanshi looked at Han Yexing with a smile, and his old face showed a hint of relief: "Good progress, it's good to continue to move forward." It's just that I heard that girl say that you have complained about being used as a pawn!?"
Han Yexing's face turned red: "Those are all angry words, and some are deliberately said at that time in order to stimulate her giant form, and only when it comes to her heart can she really be stimulated." β
Xun Chuanshi nodded and smiled: "Oh, then can you tell me, what is on your mind?"
Han Yexing was silent for a long time before finally deciding to speak: "General, I did find many incomprehensions in this trip to the wasteland, but I don't know whether I should ask or not. β
Xun Chuanshi nodded: "Ask, the matter here is over, and the time when my old man can take you is running out." If there's anything you'd like to ask, just say it. β
Han Yexing looked up and found Xunchuan Shi's face that was too old to look good, and his heart was sour: "Xiao Xingzi has too many things that he doesn't understand, and the general has to mention it all the time." The biggest puzzle I have in this battle is the blueprint of the two spirit arrays that Red Flameless gave me......"
Xunchuan Shi sighed lightly: "What, do you think there is a problem with these two drawings?"
Han Yexing nodded: "No, no, but I found that it seems to have some natural connection with the drawings we received in Xuncheng to make the Soul Separation Weapon, or I found that they were originally one." β
Xun Chuanshi was relieved: "It seems that you have indeed grown a lot, so what is your judgment on this matter?"
Han Yexing shook his head: "I don't know where these drawings come from, but half of them destroyed our Xunyang City Protector Array, and the other half laid out this Abyss Ink Great Array under the nose of the will of the Zixuan Plane, almost stirring up the entire Wind Breath Wasteland, presumably the person who can possess it should always be an extraordinary person." But I heard the Red Flameless talk about it, and she said that these two drawings are one with my natal fragment......"
Xun Chuanshi nodded slightly: "Did you think of the old blind man who gave you this fragment? Then, think of me again!?"
Walking silently in the cold night, I didn't know how to answer. Because there are too many coincidences along the way he grew up. From the ghost spirit Feng Xiluo to the broken knife fragment, from opening up the four ways of refining the spirit to simulating this spirit practice with Feng Xiluo, as well as all kinds of coincidences in this battle......
Every danger can turn evil into good, and after every danger, he always gains the most. If it weren't for General Kawaishi's secret arrangement, he really couldn't believe that he could have such good luck every time.
Xunchuan Shi was also silent for a while, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "If I tell you that your conjectures are all true, and all this is my arrangement, will you be jealous of the old man?
Han Yexing hurriedly shook his head and replied: "Even if all this is arranged by the general, Xiao Xingzi can only be sincere and grateful. Xiao Xingzi has been an orphan since he was a child, and no one has ever put so much energy into me, not to mention that these arrangements are so painstaking and lonely and so considerate of me. β
Xun Chuanshi sighed softly: "There are some things that you will naturally know in the future, and it doesn't matter if you think of me well or hate me in the future." The only thing I expect from you is what you have said to me in Xunyang City: no matter what situation you are in, when you face a difficult choice, don't forget your original intention for this world, and don't lose your kindness to this world. β
Han Yexing nodded, and then said with some questions: "Xiao Xingzi wrote it down! It's just why did the general say such a thing to Xiao Xingzi......
Xun Chuanshi smiled lightly: "What's the matter, doesn't it look like I'm explaining the future to you?"
Han Yexing's nose was sour: "General, is something wrong?"
Xun Chuanshi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's nothing, when you get to the Wind Breath Castle, you will naturally know." I have already given you all the things I can give you, and the way forward is only on your own. β
Seeing that this Xunchuan Shi's tone became more and more sad, he wanted to ask again, but he stopped him. Seeing that he was extremely tired, he had no choice but to stop disturbing him, and helped him to rest in the slow carriage.
There was no word all the way, and by the evening of the third day, this broken team of thousands of people finally arrived at Storm's End.
As the first male city in the west of the Zixuan plane, this Fengxi Fort is inhabited by many ethnic groups, the streets are colorful, the buildings are colorful, and the Linghou Mansion is built on the ridge of the Xiao Mountain Range in the north, which is majestic and open, and it has the rough and majestic wind of this Fengxi Wasteland. The whole city is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only this south gate faces the Wind Rest Plain, which is the main gate.
The southern plains are open.
Along the way, Han Yexing had been worried about Xunchuan Shi's injury, but seeing that the gate of Wind Castle was already in front of him, his heart that had been hanging finally let go. Once in the city, the elixir and requiem he urgently needed would no longer be a problem. It's just that they walked all the way, but the cold night walk suddenly found that something was wrong.
It is said that this victory in the battle completely quelled the rebellion of the Cancer Yuan Mo Alliance on this wasteland, and indirectly saved this Wind Rest Castle. It's just that Qin Chu, the Marquis of the Wind and Breath, can't go out to greet him, but even the guards of this big array look at this Xunzi camp coldly, which is really unbelievable.
Han Yexing was about to get out of the car to question, but when he saw a loud and noisy sound, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and an arrogant face had already walked over. He walked through the dilapidated army with his head held high, came to the carriage that traveled in the cold night, glanced at the carriage with a slanted eye, and then asked coldly: "The person who came is the criminal minister Xun Chuanshi!?"
When I heard it in the cold night, my brain exploded with a buzz!
In fact, since Xunchuan Shi said those words to him, he has been faintly uneasy along the way, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was a worse result than he imagined, and he couldn't help but be suffocated for a while!
He stared at the middle-aged fat-headed and big-eared man, and shouted angrily: "What are you talking about!? You are the green onion again, dare to call us generals like that!? You don't ask, tens of thousands of ...... in our Xunzi battalion Thousands of brothers won't say yes!"
"Noβ"
This remnant army was already demoralized due to heavy casualties, and along the way, they had already learned from Zixuan Weiyang's mouth that the imperial court had issued a holy decree unfavorable to General Chuanshi, and they had been holding back an inexplicable anger in their hearts. I don't know about this cold night walk, it's just that General Chuanshi let everyone hide it from him.
Seeing this cold night coming, the anger that had been holding back in their hearts finally found an outlet. Immediately shouted in unison, full of murderous aura.
The middle-aged fat-eared man stared at the cold night walk carefully, and then he made a face and said with a sneer: "Hurry up and ask this is the cold night Mr. in the mouth of Princess Weiyang? β
Han Yexing felt a burst of disgust in his heart, and said coldly: "I'm not a little gentleman, I'm just General Chuanshi's entourage." Please also ask Linghou to let us enter the city, our general is injured and needs urgent treatment. β
That Qin Chuli rolled his eyes rather strangely, his face changed several times, and then he leaned over and said softly to Han Yexing: "Little sir, this is a dilemma, I have the holy decree issued by the Purple Xuanling King today, and I have to obey it." As he spoke, he raised his head again and returned to his arrogant appearance: "The criminal minister Xunchuan Shi, as well as all the warriors of the Xunzi battalion, knelt down together to listen to the order. β
I wanted to say more about the cold night, but I didn't expect that Xunchuan Shi had already gotten off the carriage and had taken the lead in kneeling in front of the city gate to welcome the holy decree. Han Yexing and the others couldn't, so they had to kneel down as well.
Qin Chuli cleared his throat, opened the holy decree, and read it out loud: "The Xunzi camp is disbanded on the spot; the criminal minister Xunchuan Shi is not allowed to enter the city, so he will be put on the flail immediately and sent to the Beijing division;
Han Yexing was stunned when he heard this: "This is the end!?"
"It's over!"
Han Yexing Huo Ran stood up, pulled over the holy decree, and tore it to shreds: "General, our brothers have fought their last drop of blood, and now there are thousands of people left in the hundreds of thousands of people, is this such a public humiliation!?"
When the thousands of remnants heard this, they were all chilled, and some of them had already taken the lead in shouting: "General, Hengzhi is a death, it's better for us to do the opposite!!"
When Na Xunchuan heard this, he also muttered with a wry smile: "This is really her style." β
Seeing that Qin Chuli was angry, he was also helpless, so he immediately picked up Xunchuan Shi and smiled at everyone: "Everyone has worked hard, and I, Qin Chuli, am not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do." It's just that this Spirit King insists on me reading it in public, and Qin has no choice. Old General Xun rest assured, these thousands of brothers, I, Qin, will definitely take care of the general!! it's just a matter of your old age, and Qin will be incapable. β
Xunchuan Shi waved his hand casually, suppressing everyone's anger: "The matter has come to this, it is my Xunchuan Shi who can't live with everyone's brothers, if you want to complain, you can complain about someone, I heard that all living beings have reincarnation, if there is really an afterlife, then let Xun repay your debts in the next life." β
As he spoke, he put on his own shackles and stepped into the prisoner car that Qin Chuli had already prepared beside him. Before getting into the car, he turned around and looked at Qin Chuli deeply: "My thousands of brothers, please leave it to Linghou!"
"Old general, don't worry-"
Han Yexing was stunned by the actions of the Xunchuan stone, and only then did he react. He hurriedly pulled the prisoner cart, only to feel a bone-chilling desolation: "General, why is this-"
Xun Chuanshi smiled slightly and said, "Sometimes things in this world are unreasonable, Xiao Xingzi, remember what I said to you on the road." If you really don't have anywhere to go, you can go to Weiyang. It's just that you must not try to let her save me, my business has already embarrassed him enough, and she has a heavier burden to bear, so she doesn't have to be distracted by an old decay like me. β
"Generalβ"
The remnants of the thousands fell to their knees.
"General, Xiao Xingzi obeys orders!"
The cold night walked and wept bitterly, but there were no tears.
Xun Chuan took another closer look at the thousands of remnants, and then stared deeply at the cold night walk, and finally sighed: "Alas, let's go-"
