Chapter 53: The Imperial Capital Lantern Festival (II)
"I really don't know," Wu Ming said helplessly, but seeing that Zheng Xianyue seemed to be a little self-blaming, he hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, don't be sad." Don't worry, one day I will find my way back, and at that time, I will definitely take you back to my hometown and go over there to see. Wu Ming thought in his heart that he would do his best to protect her in this life and never let her be harmed again.
"A word is a certainty," Zheng Xianyue smiled, but she didn't look particularly happy, and whispered, "Wu Shao, you can leave tomorrow." ”
Although Zheng Xianyue's voice was low, every word fell into Wu Ming's ears, and after several clicks in a panic, Wu Ming buckled the chain of the jade pendant.
"What did you say?" Wu Ming was a little difficult to accept the county lord's reaction.
"The Black Domain Empire has started a war against our Wanmoth Empire, although my father and imperial uncle are only speculative, but my dark line has a conclusive secret report, and the Great Elder of the Eternal Empire, Carlos, has been preparing for this war for a long time. ”
"That is, we will most likely face the worst-case scenario at the same time, forced to wage war with both countries at the same time. I don't want you to get involved in this troubled waters, and if you can, I hope you can go as far as possible, and preferably never come back. Zheng Xianyue's shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was a little scared and a little sad, curled up and hugged her knees, "Really, the farther you go, the better." ”
Wu Ming was anxious, and hurriedly sat down beside Zheng Xianyue, and said very angrily, but his voice was muffled by the sound of the sudden explosion of fireworks at this time.
Although Zheng Xianyue couldn't hear what Wu Ming said, she was first surprised when she saw him dancing eagerly, and then couldn't help but be a little moved, showing a gentle smile like water, "It seems that I know your choice, it's really reassuring." Closing her eyes, Zheng Xianyue gently leaned her head on Wu Ming's shoulder.
Wu Ming saw Zheng Xianyue leaning on his shoulder, and stopped talking.
Wu Ming thought, I just want you to be happy every day, let me take away all the unhappiness.
Zheng Xianyue listened to the sound of fireworks and muttered in a low voice: "I owe you too much, only you, I don't want you to get hurt because of me." ”
At this time, in the Moon Tower next to the stone bridge, a graceful girl, dressed in a black Gothic dress that is out of place in this world, looks up at the flying lanterns in the sky.
"Don't you see him? My God, Pandora. Behind the girl was an old man, walking slowly on crutches. If Wu Ming saw it here, he would definitely be surprised to find that this old man was Cao Xuanliang, who had a relationship with each other in the library of the Yuexian King.
"I definitely wanted to meet, but the opportunity didn't come. The girl's beautiful eyes, which shimmered like a black agate, winkled mischievously.
"Meet the Sect Master," a man knelt down through the curtain from a distance, "The villain has already done what the Lord ordered, and the black and white bronze mirror has been handed over to that Wu Gongzi." ”
"Well done. The girl took the wooden wine glass on the table and looked at it in her hand, then threw out the curtain. When the wooden cup fell to the ground, it had already turned into a golden cup!
The man happily picked up the golden cup, "Thank you for the reward." As he spoke, he withdrew with excitement on his face.
"I didn't expect you to use the technique of turning stones into gold for the sake of an ordinary mortal handyman. The old man didn't raise his eyelids, he lazily leaned against the wine table, and poured wine directly into his mouth with the flask.
"I want this person to do things because of the reason, and I give this person a reward for the effect, that's all, there is nothing wrong with this. The girl replied lightly.
"It seems that you have made a decision," Cao Xuanliang didn't care, in his eyes, as long as this girl named Pandora made a decision, he would unconditionally support it.
The next day, the entire Chiba Castle entered a tense preparation mode, and the footsteps of the soldiers and the iron hooves of the horses could be heard all over the streets.
On the banks of the Styx River in Chiba City, thousands of warships, large and small, stopped, which made Wu Ming, Man, and Tan Qiudao, who came with the Lord of Mingyue County, sigh at it.
The military strength of an empire can be so strong, and this is not the strongest empire, it is difficult to imagine what the strongest eternal empire will become.
"Hurry, hurry, keep up!" a soldier commander urged, "General Chu Ping has an order, quickly prepare the warship, we must rush to Qinghe Bay before noon the day after tomorrow, if there is any slackness, they will be punished for the crime of negligence in military affairs!" Seeing that all the warships were almost ready, the commander walked to the side of the county lord of Mingyue and gave a military salute, "Tell the county lord, the warship specially arranged for you by General Chuping has been in place, and it is the fastest warship on our side!"
Zheng Xianyue nodded, knowing that Chu Ping wanted to pay off the favors owed in Qiancheng Palace, but he didn't care. Her energy was concentrating on the distant sky, as if waiting for something to come.
The commander of the army said, "Lord County, General Chu Ping has also arranged two warships to accompany you, and they will definitely escort you to Xia Ye County safely, and the warships are equipped with the sharpest soldiers in the Nanyang Naval Division. ”
As he spoke, the commander couldn't help but feel a little proud, although he knew the terrible woman in front of him, he couldn't help but show off.
"There are no more people, the lord of this county has the moon to accompany him. Zheng Xianyue's expression was indifferent, "The ships should be left two for the county lord." ”
"Moonlight!"
The commander couldn't help but gasp, Lanyue was a personal guard under the command of the Lord of Mingyue County, and every soldier in it was a legend, but few people saw such a famous army, although some people in the outside world would think that "Lanyue" was just a gimmick, but every veteran of the Wanmos Empire knew that such a legend as Lanyue really existed, and its real combat power was more terrifying than the rumors.
Seeing that the commander was still hesitating, Zheng Xianyue pointed to Wu Ming and the other three beside him, and first pointed to Tan Qiu and said, "Not only that, but the three of them will also accompany the lord of this county, this is a master of the sword saint level, and he has fought against hundreds of sword saints in the sword pavilion one by one, and it is difficult to meet an opponent." ”
Tan Qiudao heard the county lord praise like this, although he knew that the county lord was praising him indiscriminately, he couldn't help but brush up his beard, revealing a master's demeanor. However, in the eyes of outsiders, no one knows what is going on inside the Sword Pavilion, and no matter how it blows, it can't be confirmed, but since it can be said from the mouth of the Mingyue County Lord, it must be conclusive.
As a military commander, the worship of force is far greater than that of ordinary people, and when he heard that Tan Qiudao was a sword master and his strength was so strong, his gaze immediately became extremely hot.
