Chapter 485: The Southwest Frontier
A thunderclap exploded overhead, winding like a golden snake dancing wildly in the night, and the water of the ancient road was white.
"It's going to rain." I muttered.
"It hasn't rained on the trail for many years." Wei Junyao also let out a murmur.
……
That night was an ordinary night after the catastrophe of the ancient road, but it was an unusual night for the residents of Shuofang City and Luoyan Town.
The five warships of the Dragon King of the Ghost Gate anchored two hundred miles away from Shuofang City quietly set sail in the night, five became twenty ships, and the city gate was broken in less than an hour, Shuofang City was lost, Wu Jiyun was killed in battle, and the whereabouts of the fifth aunt were unknown.
It is said that when Wu Jiyun died, his body was still unstable, the saber in his hand was inserted into the city stone, and his eyes were always staring at the direction of Luoyan Town, and he could not look at it until he died.
Another general who fell with him that night was Wu Nanshan, who was killed by two unidentified assassins in the Chinese army's tent, and the pace of the 100,000-strong army's attack on Luoyan Town was delayed for an hour, in this hour, the three battalions were all dispatched to find the assassins in vain, and the 20,000 reinforcements who rushed from Shuofang City to Luoyan Town arrived, and after the core forces of all the towns retreated to Cuiwei Pavilion, they ushered in the fierce 100,000 Fenshui Pass army, more than 30,000 soldiers were all killed, and the whereabouts of the sixth aunt were unknown.
When Wei Junyao and I rushed to Luoyan Town, we were greeted only by a ruin that had been vented by the water separation gate, and the Great Forbidden Mountain Forest Law was not destroyed, but it was heavily guarded, and mosquitoes and birds did not leave.
After leaving Luoyan Town, Wei Junyao and I found a small boat to float along the ancient road river, with no end and no goal, until we met an owl that was robbing on the road, and this aimless journey also temporarily drew an end.
Since the catastrophe and Li Yunfei lost contact with the owl, he has done the work of a water thief, more than 300 miles away from the Yunxi domain, with less than 50 brothers to rob the merchant ships, that day I and Wei Junyao boat here, was stopped by his men, before I killed all the owl, the owl appeared, the two met, only to leave me and Wei Junyao behind.
"Although I have been chasing the water thieves these days, I am very clear about the situation in Luoyan Town, and I am all aware of the situation in Luoyan Town.
In the owl's stockade, the three of them sat opposite each other, and the owl made a cup of hot tea for each of them, and then sat on the side, and said with a sigh on his face.
I sighed leisurely, looked at the owl and said, "I've been out for so long, why didn't I see you looking for me?" ”
A trace of bitterness flashed on the owl's face, "The overall situation of the world is undecided, and I also hide my selfishness, so I want to do it alone." ”
But then he smiled and said: "It seems that my choice is correct, you can live here with peace of mind, I have already taken care of the nearby river patrol army, and it is very safe here." ”
Without waiting for me to speak, Wei Junyao nodded, "Help me send a letter to Wushan." ”
"I don't think it's the time yet."
I looked at Wei Junyao and said.
Wei Junyao has changed into a black robe since that night, often shining herself under the cloak, and she has become less talkative, I know that she is not lost because of this defeat, but because of Wu Jiyun's death, which brought her a lot of blows.
"If Wu Nanshan hadn't been among the people I had chosen, many things might not have been like this."
Wei Junyao sat on the edge of the cliff with a cloak, looking at the river flowing under his feet, with a stunned expression.
"A lot of things don't necessarily go for the better." I sat down next to her and comforted.
Wei Junyao turned her head to look at me, her white cheeks were filled with endless loneliness, I felt distressed in my eyes, and subconsciously brushed my hand on it, but before my hand left, Wei Junyao's slender hand had already reached up, pressed the back of my hand, and put the palm closer to her cheek.
"Why don't you let me inform Wu Qingshan, are you worried that he has also defected?" Wei Junyao asked, tilting his face sideways and clinging to my hand.
I shook my head, "I'm afraid that the news will leak out, if General Wu is trapped now, we will even lose the last hole card." ”
Wei Junyao nodded, but then sighed, "The wind and clouds are changing, I didn't expect that I would follow the old path of the Buddha-faced Venerable." ”
"He is him, you are you, one day, I will also make you the princess of Wushan who reigns over the world, so that the people of the ancient road can only admire you, but not blaspheme." I said lightly.
Wei Junyao glanced at me deeply, spat out a slight orchid, and chuckled: "It's all sent to the fence, and you are still so optimistic." ”
"That's it." I raised my head, "The dignified Princess Wushan is my daughter-in-law, what is more refreshing than this, as long as you are by my side, nothing else." ”
"Cool?" Wei Junyao frowned as if she was puzzled, but then the powder fist smashed up, "Hooligans!" ”
Although the place where the owl placed us was safe, but judging from the current situation of Wei Junyao and me, comfort was not suitable for us, I sat on the cliff and chatted with her for an afternoon, and decided to leave here the next day, go to the southwest, go to the canyon full of countless half-saint corpses, and seek an opportunity for me to step into the half-saint and make Wei Junyao's strength one step better.
And we have also discussed, the Ghost Gate Dragon King took Shuofang City, although he still hangs his banner externally, but Wei Junyao and I know that this is just selling dog meat with a sheep's head, Shuofang City must be densely populated, the North Pass has long been opened, and the army of Jiuquan Mansion can then wave its army south, in terms of my entanglement with them, at this time, I can't take the lead, once I appear in their sight, what we have to face will be a never-ending escape life.
After paying attention, the haze on Wei Junyao's face was also swept away, and she once again returned to the princess Wushan who once dominated one side and made the entire Yellow River tremble.
Ignoring the retention of the owl, Wei Junyao and I left the water village early the next morning, crossed Yunxi, and headed straight for the southwest.
And the reason why the itinerary is so hurried is that there is another reason, that is, Sister Yu and others who are trapped in the forest of the Great Forbidden Mountain.
The Great Forbidden Mountain Forest can trap the Half-Saint, but it is difficult to guarantee that there are also masters in the ancient path who know how to use the Luban technique, I have to rush back before they break through the big array, if even they have an accident, then even if I can make a comeback in the future, what is the point? Including Mrs. Huo, who was healing in Shuofang City, and Huaibei and others, they also need me.
The boat went down the river, and it would take a few days to reach the southwest border, Wei Junyao and I had a good rest on the boat for a few days, and every day we were watching the sunrise and sunset, fighting the stars, trying to dissipate the negative emotions of defeat in my heart little by little, after so long, I also understood the truth that people have to stand up and look forward as long as they are alive, even if silence in the past is useless for themselves and the future, the only thing that can be done is not to let Wu Jiyun and those soldiers die in vain, with the blood of the enemy, Come and pay tribute to their souls.
When the ship sailed on the fifth day, the course had been biased to the southwest of the direct current, leaving the main channel, the air dropped a lot here, wearing the heavy winter clothes that the owl had prepared for the two of us in advance, the two of them stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the pale scenery on both sides, Wei Junyao sighed: "In the past so many years, the reason why Wushan has been able to maintain peace and quiet is mainly because there is an unwritten rule among the four major forces of the ancient road, but if anyone occupies Wushan, he must be responsible for the border defense in the southwest, especially the death canyon, Every year, I don't know how many troops and salaries to be wasted there, it is a huge burden, and it is also a place where danger will burst out at any time, so since I was in charge of Wushan, few people covet this land, and I can't remember how long I haven't been here, last time, I happened to meet Gu Lao, although Gu Lao was crazy, but he only remembered me, and handed me a piece of gravel brought out of the canyon, and it was because of this gravel that he was able to come out of it alive. ”()
