013 Dark Moon Fierce Battle
013 Dark Moon Fierce Battle
The grass grows and the warbler flies. Blossom. The wilderness trail is quiet and peaceful, with birds singing and beasts roaring, full of life. This is the road on the outskirts of Maple Leaf Town.
After a short period of preparation, all the members of the underworld and the disciples of the Long family finally embarked on a journey to the Lanchi Imperial Capital.
Wanluo World is an ancient continent with abundant vegetation.
In the postmodern era, the rapid development of industry and technology has made green space a legendary existence. There are almost 10,000 square kilometers of forest vegetation left on the entire planet, and even the oxygen in the atmosphere has to rely on high-tech chemical plants to produce emissions and maintain human breathing.
I have to say that this is indeed a sadness.
The development of science and technology and the progress of civilization have come at the cost of the disappearance of nature.
Coming from the post-modern era, Aoyama has a heartfelt love for the vibrant green world of Wanluo World. I was also amazed by all kinds of strange creatures.
Although he has seen a lot in the mammoth forest, whenever he walks in the wilderness forest, Aoyama still feels an indescribable sense of ease, like a young beast that has returned to nature, full of vitality and curiosity about everything.
The ride of this world is a creature known as the blast furnace horse, which is very similar to the war horse described in the Earth's history documentary. It's just that they have an extra horn like a cow, and sharp teeth like a tiger, and can eat meat and grass, and are omnivores. Aoyama naturally classifies them as horses. and entered it into the Blue Moon's database.
Since it is the task of guarding the green mountains, it is natural to protect important people. In fact, while serving in the military, Aoyama underwent simulated training to protect the head of state. Although I don't know how useful it can be, I know that Qingshan still has some experience in guarding.
At this moment, Qingshan was arranged to enter the carriage to protect Long Shu.
The ebony carriage gave the carriage a strong physical defense, and the dark color looked a bit heavy, which made the carriage seem to be heavier as well.
But it's all just a visual illusion.
In fact, it was a very delicate, light carriage.
Small in size and flexible in action. Obviously very suitable for the complex terrain of the wilderness forest.
In addition to Long Yi and Long Shu, there are also unparalleled Jiaoluo Yunxia in the carriage.
In fact, for the two young men, they suddenly became two delicate little beauties. It really startled Long Qi and Long Hao. However, in this way, it will be fun for those energetic disciples of the Long family.
Of course, the happiest is Long Yi. Finally have a partner to chat with.
Perhaps it was because of the same young man that Qingshan and Wuxian quickly became involved with this group of Long family disciples. Naturally, I knew their names.
In addition to Long Qilong, Haolong, Yi Long, and Long Fan.
There are also ten disciples of the Long family. They are called.
Long Biao Long Fierce Dragon Fan, Long San, Long Zhan, Long Bo, Long Hua, Long Yan, Long Pan, Long Jue
In addition, the twelve warriors who made Qingshan's impression were not from the Long family, but Qingshan could clearly feel that Long Qi and Long Hao didn't seem to have a good impression of these twelve people, and it was no wonder that these twelve people looked as inaccessible as twelve large ice cubes.
What makes Qingshan even more strange is that the names of these twelve people are also very interesting, they are all surnamed Yan, and they are called Yan Boss and Yan Lao Er, and they are all ranked to the last Yan Twelve.
As for why they appeared in the team, Long Qi didn't introduce them too much, and of course Qingshan and the others were not interested in inquiring about this.
After all, there are more or less little-known secrets in the family.
However, after learning their names, Qingshan always wondered why there was no Yan Shisan. You must know that in Gu Long's novels, Yan Shisan is a very powerful swordsman.
The other four maids were partners who grew up with Long Shu and had a close relationship, and the old man named Qianyu was the high priest of the Lanqi Empire.
The so-called high priest is equivalent to the existence of the national teacher, with a noble status, and there are twelve such high priests in the Lanchi Empire.
However, why the noble high priest appeared in the small Dragon family caravan, Qingshan also felt very strange.
Although the Thousand Rains High Priest was kind and kind-eyed, that noble status still made people feel unapproachable, and Aoyama could clearly see that the twelve warriors should exist to protect the Thousand Rains High Priest, so the small caravan camp was naturally divided into two factions.
Qingshan Wushuang also has the Long family.
The High Priest of Thousand Rains and the twelve guards surnamed Yan.
It's a bit of a clear one.
The division of labor of the team is also very clear, the disciples of the Long family are responsible for the outer defense, as well as the way exploration, and the twelve Yan clan guards are the main force that constitutes the inner defense.
Long Qi and Long Pan walked in front, exploring the way with their vigilance, while Long Bo and Long Hua protected the entire team on the left and right, and the other eight Long family warriors formed a team with Qingshan to break the back. However, there shouldn't be any problems with this first day's itinerary, Maple Leaf Town is within the defense range of Tassel City, and ordinary thieves will not venture around here.
Therefore, in this section of the journey, there will be no major problems, and everyone's mood is very relaxed.
The journey was calm and smooth. And the travelers on the road also ushered in the first sunset.
The crowd chose a hillside that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. After the construction of simple fortifications. So they went their separate ways.
Long Pan and Long Fan were responsible for finding firewood and grass to make a fire, while Wushuang and Qingshan and others were not idle, and began to set up tents with Long Yi, Long Jin and others.
Although everyone was busy but not the slightest panic, they were obviously very experienced in wild camping, and they set up tents in just half an hour.
And Long Bo and Long Fan, who were in charge of collecting firewood and grass, had already brought back a large amount of firewood and grass.
"You guys, you're not slow, you've collected so much so quickly." Long Yi said with some surprise.
"Haha, that's right, there's just a dead wood in the woods." Long Pan smiled: "It didn't take much effort for a few of us. ”
Soon a bonfire was lit.
However, there were two piles of bonfires, which made people feel quite unpleasant. It also made Aoyama feel a little uneasy.
Surrounding the bonfire, Long Jue couldn't help but ask: "Seventh Uncle, this escort mission is very important, but do you see the attitude of Qianyu and those guards?" ”
"No, a cold one, as if he owed them millions." Long Yi was also very dissatisfied.
Long Qi sighed helplessly: "They are all guards from the palace, and their eyes are too high to look down on us at all. ”
"If it weren't for the High Priest of Thousand Rains traveling all the way this time, they might not have been on the road with us." Long Fan said: "Bear with it, anyway, they didn't drag us back." ”
Wushuang and Qingshan subconsciously glanced at each other.
It seems that this team is not harmonious, although it is only a short day, Aoyama and Wushuang and others can easily see the problem.
But if that's the case, why did these two groups of people who didn't get along well come together? Aoyama was a little confused.
"What a team is most afraid of is detachment." Although Wushuang is not very old, he has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes: "Once such a clear posture encounters any danger, it will be troublesome." ”
Wushuang's words just point out the uneasiness in Qingshan's heart, that's right, as a team from the army, Qingshan knows best about a team, if you want to successfully complete the task, internal harmony and tacit understanding are essential, once you face any sudden accident like this, you can't do the integration of advance and retreat, and give full play to the strength of the team.
"That's what worries me the most." The eldest lady Long Shu said calmly: "These palace guards are all pretentious, and they naturally look down on us small families, and they can't listen to our words at all, unless there is someone who convinces them, and they may be able to change their attitude by mediating." Speaking of which, Long Shu looked around at everyone.
It's just that it seems that everyone doesn't have much confidence in convincing Qianyu and the guards.
Long Hao, who was on guard in the distance, sat on a large rock. seems a little lonely, lonely This guy has always been low-key, and rarely speaks, and everyone is used to his character. I didn't think so.
"I'll send this leg of mutton to Brother Hao." Long Jue tore off a leg of lamb from the oily roasted whole lamb and walked quickly towards Long Hao.
But looking at Long Hao, Qingshan's heart moved, and he quickly figured out what was going on.
It seems that it is not the twelve guards whose eyes are too high, but they are by nature, and Qingshan, who was born in the military, is naturally accustomed to seeing those hard-nosed soldiers, and also knows how to deal with these people.
"I'll go talk to them." Seeing that no one was sure, Long Fan volunteered. Stand up and go to the priest of a thousand rains.
But was stopped by Long Qi: "What's the use of you going, in their eyes, you're not even a fart." Speaking of this, Long Qi looked at Qingshan: "Qingshan, it's better for you to go, I can see that the High Priest of Thousand Rains and his guards look at you differently, maybe they can listen to your words." ”
"That's right." Yunxia said proudly: "You defeated them in the last sword competition last time, and they don't have much to put up in front of you." ”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this girl is really direct, but his words are not unreasonable.
"I'm alone, it's not convenient." Aoyama hesitated.
"Uncle Seven, it's better for you and me to accompany Qingshan Shaoxia to lie down." Long Shu said.
"That's exactly what I mean." Long Qi got up.
After the three of them straightened their clothes, Shi Shiran walked to the bonfire of Qianyu.
"Qingshan Shaoxia, why are you here?" Qianyu looked at Qingshan and Long Qi and Long Shu coming, his expression was a little indifferent, but he only asked Qingshan alone, and turned a blind eye to Long Shu and Long Qi, this posture did make Long Shu and Long Qi a little ugly, but the two of them were stunned for a while.
"Come and talk?" Qingshan had no choice but to speak: "What, did you disturb your rest?" ”
"Where, young man, please sit,?" Qianyu smiled indifferently, and then moved her body to vacate the seats for Qingshan and the others.
Although he had long expected that Qianyu's attitude towards Qingshan was different, such politeness was still beyond the expectations of the three of them.
Qingshan was not polite, and sat down with a big thorn: "It's not a secret, but this time I came to find the high priest for something important?" ”
"Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Priest Qianyu was not surprised, but the eyes of the twelve cold-looking men all shot to Qingshan's face, still with a wooden expression, but their eyes became extremely sharp.
"I don't know, though, how you got together." Aoyama Masase said: "But since we are walking together, we are all the way, we should cooperate sincerely and get through the difficulties together." Speaking of this, Qingshan's tone was a little calm: "There is such a saying in my hometown, everyone works together, and their strength is broken, but if they have their own thoughts and go their own way, it is better to part ways." ”
It seemed that he didn't expect Qingshan's to be so direct, Long Qi and Long Shu were slightly stunned, but the twelve people behind them changed their expressions slightly.
"Shaoxia's words make sense?" Qianyu asked indifferently: "But what does this have to do with now." ”
Aoyama's expression was grim: "I'm really a little confused, since we need to cooperate seamlessly, but I always feel that you don't seem to treat us as your own." ”
The High Priest of Qianyu looked at Qingshan deeply, took a light breath, and said after a while: "Those who respect people, people respect them, if you want to cooperate sincerely, you must at least have a minimum of sincerity?" Saying this, the High Priest of Thousand Rains looked at Long Shu beside Qingshan: "But the attitude of the eldest lady makes this seat not feel the slightest sincerity. ”
"Where did the high priest say that?" This time, he asked Qingshan and Long Shu Longqi.
"Hahaha." Qianyu smiled and said: "I think of me Qianyu, you are a national teacher, how noble your identity is, even if the emperor's relatives see this seat, they have to be polite and honest, but the eldest lady masks her face with a clear veil all day long, what is the reason, can it be said that this seat is just an insignificant little person in your eyes, you are so disrespectful, how can you expect others to respect you." ”
"Ahh Long Shu and Long Qi were stunned on the spot.
No one expected that the problem was actually the veil on Long Shu's face, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, with Qianyu's prominent and noble status, it is a little disrespectful for Long Shu to get along with him with his face covered. Although Aoyama is not aware of the customs of this world, it is indeed unpleasant to deal with others with his face covered.
"It's true." Qianyu said coldly: "If it weren't for the order from above, so that this seat and others would assist the eldest lady to protect this batch of goods to reach the imperial capital, this seat would have been abandoned a long time ago." ”
"I see." Long Shu woke up at this time, but there was a sense of shame and weakness in his tone: "It is indeed Long Shu's disrespect, please forgive the high priest." ”
In fact, Qingshan was also very curious about what Long Shu looked like under the veil.
"Miss." Long Qi said: "In order to show respect for the high priest, let's take off the veil." ”
"This ......" Long Shu hesitated.
But apparently she also knew that the stakes were very high, so in desperation, she had to gently take off the veil that covered her face.
Moment. Qingshan only felt that his eyes lit up, and a girl who only appeared in a dream stood in front of him so vividly. There is no pen and ink that can describe what kind of beauty this is.
Like a dream, the universe of heaven and earth no longer exists, and the only thing I see is a pair of eyes as bright as stars. So pure, so flawless, like clear water and cold pools, brimming with light, indescribably moving and charming, but there is a weakness and poignancy. There are also some grudges. It makes people feel a kind of unbearable guilt.
The post-modern beauty Qingshan has seen a lot, and there are even many beauties whose looks are no less than those in front of them, but no one among them has such a natural, ethereal and ethereal temperament as Long Shu.
As the saying goes, the red face and the water will fall into the country, and the country will be overwhelmed, which must refer to the category of Long Shu. No wonder this woman had to cover her face.
On the other side, the High Priest of Thousand Rains and the twelve guards were dumbfounded, and only after a while did they reply: "No wonder Miss Long masks her face with a clear veil all day long. Please forgive the old man for being rude. Qianyu bowed deeply.
And the twelve guards behind him also bowed slightly to apologize.
But at this moment, no one will complain about Long Shu's rudeness and arrogance.
If this kind of posture is easily revealed, it will definitely cause a big riot, and Long Shu has no choice but to choose to clear the veil and cover his face.
With the removal of the veil, the last trace of estrangement between the two parties has been completely eliminated.
The rest of the matter is much easier.
"Qingshan Shaoxia once said that everyone worked together to break gold." Long Qi said: "I thought that since this is the case, everyone should unite and condense into one, I don't know what the High Priest of Thousand Rains thinks." ”
"That makes a lot of sense." Qian Yu immediately said to the twelve guards beside him: "From now on, you will obey the arrangements of Qingshan Shaoxia and Long Qi, and you must complete this escort mission." ”
"Yes." Twelve people received their orders in unison.
Until this moment, Qingshan and Long Qi's hanging hearts were finally let go.
The night is like a light veil, and the four fields are gray and black. Only the outline of the surrounding land can be faintly seen from the high hill. In mid-air, the waning moon hangs high, making it even more bright and hazy.
The two paths on the high hill, twists and turns, stretching into the distance, like a fluttering jade belt, showing a strange softness and ripples.
It is surrounded by a forest that is not very dense. In the woods, there are four camps surrounded by each other, and the whole caravan campground.
Tonight is the Longhao vigil, which is also the most basic defense measure for wild camping. The sentinel chosen by Long Hao is a large tree with lush foliage, which is more conducive to hiding himself, especially in the dark night.
In the middle of the spring night, the cold breeze, mixed with the unique fragrance of flowers and plants in the forest, and the smoke left after the bonfire was extinguished, made people feel a kind of deep thinking and intoxication. There is even a feeling of drowsiness.
At this moment, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from the side of the forest. woke up Long Hao, who was almost asleep.
What's going on. I have always been vigilant, but I would almost want to fall asleep when I was on guard.
This made Long Hao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The reason why Long Hao became a sentry at night was not only because of his extraordinary skills, but also because of his thoughtful, cautious and calm character.
Together, these things make Long Hao the best candidate for the vigil.
Long Hao, who woke up, still felt casual. Even the eyes are a little difficult to open. This made Long Hao feel very wrong, but even so, he opened his eyes with a strong will, and looked carefully in the direction where the sound came from, under the hazy night, everything in the sky and earth was difficult to see, but the dozens of hazy and small figures in the forest could not escape Long Hao's eyes.
Yes. It's an enemy attack. I didn't think of a moment of carelessness, but someone touched the bottom of my eyelids.
Long Hao, who was taken aback, hurriedly blew the siren.
"Woohoo." Moment. The sound of a hurried siren resounded through the high post.
However. The imaginary alert did not happen.
There was no reaction from the four tents, and it seemed that none of the people inside heard the horn.
"This, what's going on." Long Hao was shocked, why didn't everyone react. And at this moment, the unique fragrance in the night breeze once again wafted into Long Hao's nostrils. It made Long Hao feel a strange dizziness.
Yes. It's a vasher. In an instant, Long Hao reacted. But how is this possible, when did I plant the incense. Long Hao couldn't figure it out.
You must know that under normal circumstances, the incense will only play a role in a confined space, if it is an open place like the wild, the incense will be easily blown away, even if the tent is a confined space, who can sneak into the tent unknowingly to release the incense.
It's just that at this moment, Long Hao can't care about it so much at all.
Hurriedly jumped down from the tree.
"Where did the thief come from, he actually used such indiscriminate means as incense."
"Hahaha." A smug laugh came from the forest, and then dozens of men in black armor poured out.
Because of the short distance, Suo Longhao could clearly see the appearance of this group of people.
There are three people in the lead, and at first glance it is clear that they are extremely vicious outlaws.
One of them, with a majestic figure, a square head and big ears, and a face full of flesh, made people feel frightened when they looked at it, wearing a jet-black tungsten steel battle armor, and the weapon in his hand was a surprisingly large snow-bright broadsword, while his right hand was carrying a large shield.
It seems that it should be a shield warrior. And the cultivation is not low.
The one on the left hand was slender and had a pale face, but he held a short gun in each hand, and although it was not as rough and hideous as the previous one, it was more cunning and cunning.
The one on the right is a tiger's back, the whole person is like an iron tower, his face is full of beard, so that people can't see the outline of his facial features at all, but the fierce momentum and the surprisingly large Purgatory Tomahawk in his hand make people see at a glance that this is a power-type berserker.
These three people can pick out one at random, which is enough to match or even be stronger than themselves, not to mention jumping out of three at once, and there is a group of wolf-like gangs behind them, not to mention the ** number ten people.
But there is no one else on his side except himself, and he is still dizzy and shaky at the moment.
Until now, Long Hao still didn't understand how his gang planted the incense.
"Good guy, Nightshade didn't actually put you down." The big man of the Iron Tower of the Iron Tower of the Prison Tomahawk in his hand smiled gloomily.
"What the hell are you doing with the incense?" Long Hao's dizzy impulse asked sharply.
"Huh." The shield warrior in the play is obviously the boss of this group, but at the moment he is smug with a smug face: "Uncle is in a good mood, let you die to understand, the firewood and grass you use to light the fire are prepared by us in advance." ”
"Ah, is it the dead forest?" For a moment, Long Hao suddenly remembered the scene of Long Pan collecting firewood and grass.
"Now you figured it out." The man with the short gun had a smug face: "That dry forest is mixed with a lot of night tree vine ecstasy grass, once it is ignited, it becomes the most medicinal **night primrose, you and I were originally innocent, but we are also entrusted by others, and you can only be considered unlucky if you bump into it today." ”
In the Ranger World, it is not uncommon to have such indiscriminate methods, but generally experienced people who are away from home are wary of this.
And once you meet an experienced ranger, it is difficult for these inferior incense to play a role.
However, the methods of these people's medicine are so hidden and ingenious, and they actually let their gang ignite the incense that fascinates them without knowing it, which is indeed somewhat unexpected. One accidentally got on his heels.
It's just that it's too late to wake up now, and what surprises Long Hao even more is that this group of people is simply coming for his group. And the trap set is so targeted.
Who exactly is the enemy behind this?
Long Hao couldn't imagine what would happen next.
"Big brother, why is he talking so much nonsense." The helpers on the side urged: "There are still a few good-looking girls in the camp, hehe, and the eldest lady of the Long family, this kind of goods is not easy to meet." ”
"Haha, that's what I said." The leading man waved his sword: "Brothers, do it, the men will be killed, and the women will be taken away by me." ”
"Yes."
More than a dozen black-armored men had already flocked out. pounced on Long Hao. At this moment, Long Hao was groggy, where did he still have the strength to fight back.
Seeing the bright sword light approaching, he couldn't even move.
Is that the end of it? Long Hao, who was unwilling, rose up with his last strength, swung out a sword, and attacked more than a dozen people who rushed in.
