178.The princess returns to Chang'an (the third change)
The territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the infinite sea Fusang in the east, west, north and south, the desert dog Rong Ghost Fang, the Great Henan Barbarian, and the land of snow and aliens.
If you have a pair of eyes, you can look down on the world.
You can see a lot of fog, as if covering these lands with shadows one after another.
Scattered, but by no means small.
If you look closely, you can find that these shadows exist, extremely hidden, mostly hidden in the deep mountains, deep forests, cliff bottoms, uninhabited Gobi, deep deserts, isolated islands in the middle of the water, and among the ruins.
These shadows, covered in mist, are slowly moving like a whirlpool.
And passers-by who pass by unintentionally will always walk over unconsciously, and then they can't get out.
At the same time, after "devouring" humans, these forbidden areas are also expanding extremely slowly at an incomprehensible speed, like worms, spreading towards those normal lands.
One day, maybe it's all covered!
--
A group of strange people entered the city from the east gate of the dilapidated capital, and the purpose of entering was a huge deep pit.
There is still stagnant water in the pit, which is reflected and sparkling in the scorching sun.
There are still many residents in this abandoned capital, but these residents are completely devoid of vitality, even young men and girls, who are also gloomy, and even some of them are bent on their backs, dragging their steps on the streets in the distance.
There was no smile on his face, only panic, nervousness, and bags under his eyes that had not rested peacefully for a long time.
There were about ten strange people in that group, nine of them, who were wrapped in thick black cloaks despite the scorching sun, but the woman at the head was wearing a short-sleeved plain white power suit, with a knife stuck in her waist.
The scabbard and handle of the sharkskin are pitted, like corroded animal bones.
Although this woman's face is beautiful, she is cold and glamorous, which makes people unapproachable and unapproachable, because she is cold, she rejects people thousands of miles away, and because of her murderous aura, she avoids her like a snake and scorpion.
Her legs were long, but her steps were not large or graceful, but they were so steady that she could pull out the knife at her waist and behead anyone at any time and in between movements.
Her skin was very white, pale, sickly fair, bloodless, and lifeless.
Xia Yuxue looked at the three words "Drunken Moon Building" written on the signboard of the restaurant in the distance, the year before last, it was here that she spent three golden beans to buy wine and go to drink with Uncle Xiaohuang, thinking of that man, this cold and solemn long-legged woman laughed.
It's like an iceberg is melting.
Xia Yuxue carried this knife and stood in front of the deep pit, overlooking the pit that had become a small pool, for a long time.
Between the frowns, it is all deep thought.
The speed of development in this world is far beyond her imagination, and what she has to do, it seems that Uncle Xiao Huang has already taken the first step for her.
Just listening to the rumors, looking at the deep pit that covered almost half of the capital in front of me, and the dilapidated streets, it was really hard to imagine that it was just a few people fighting a decisive battle.
"Xia Guang..."
A soft sigh contains too many thoughts about the past and present lives.
Xia Yuxue touched the rough handle of the knife, and said in a low voice as if muttering to herself: "Go to Chang'an." ”
As soon as she moved, the nine figures wrapped in pitch-black robes behind her also moved, five of them were huge, about three or four meters tall, and the other four were also strange in terms of height.
Some seem to be leaning on their backs, some seem to be leaning forward, but their cloaks are propped up, some seem to be crawling, and some are small but dragging giant axes, and the blades of the giant axes glide on the ground, making a piercing sound and flashing fire.
A group of ten people walked by, and no one dared to approach, even the temperature suddenly dropped a few degrees.
Out of the West City Gate, one of the huge figures wrapped in a cloak picked up Xia Yuxue and threw it on his shoulder, and then ten figures went in the direction of Chang'an like a gust of wind.
In just two days, this team, which seemed to be tired at all and did not need to rest, rushed to the entrance of the east gate of Chang'an Xindu.
Xia Yuxue threw out a sign, the city gate guards were confused at first, and then seemed to wake up, but their eyes were full of disbelief, this princess had been missing for a year and a half, and now she suddenly came back, followed by ...
"Take the hood off and do a routine check. ”
The guards at the gate were obviously dutiful, and they did not shrink their heads because of the fear at this time, and let them pass.
The pale princess said coldly: "Is this token fake? Or am I no longer a princess after all these years of going out?"
The guards at the city gate were terrified, hurriedly lowered their heads and handed their hands, and said again and again: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!" The villain naturally knows the princess, but now the system is strict, if you don't strictly check everyone who enters and exits, the villain is guilty of dereliction of duty, so please forgive the princess... After all, the nine guards you brought with you are really..."
He looked up again, and there were nine strange teams with a height difference of more than three meters.
The cold breath seemed to choke his neck and suffocate him.
This... What kind of people are they?
Xia Yuxue didn't dwell on it much, her expression remained unchanged, and she said coldly: "Xiao Jiu, take off your hat and show him." ”
The slumped figure slowly moved forward, as if floating in front of the city gate guard, very close, and then the left hand, covered with black gloves, grabbed the hood and flipped it lightly, and then closed it.
The gate guard was stunned, he only glanced at it, and among the dark black hoods, there was a mask like a shroud, and strips of black cloth wrapped around his face, except for a pure black left eye.
It was an eye with two pupils.
The moment he saw that eye, the guard at the city gate suddenly became dumb, his expression became sluggish and stiff, and he said respectfully, "No problem, princess." ”
Then he cried out for his companions to get out of the way, and let this strange group of ten men enter the city.
Compared with the capital, the streets of Chang'an are somewhat ancient, the streets and alleys are also unique, the pedestrians and passers-by are also full of vitality, shouting, buying and selling, shouting everywhere, but the summer rain and snow did not stop, but went straight to the palace.
Although the Shadow Imperial Court moved its position with the relocation of the capital, the return of this one made Xia Tang greet him as soon as possible, although he was not the son of the Black Heaven, but he had recently begun to take on more responsibilities.
Soon.
In a hidden, thousand-kilometer-radius, top-secret palace that belongs to the forbidden land, the Son of Heaven, the Black Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and Xia Tang, these four are considered to be the pinnacles of the entire Great Zhou in charge of the entire Great Zhou in addition to the Shenwu King.
The Son of Heaven is in the middle, the Black Son of Heaven, Xia Tang sits casually on the right side, and the Queen Mother sits on the left side.
Xia Yuxue didn't sit, just stood in the center of this ancient palace, a pair of smart boots happened to step on the golden dragon head painted on the ground.
She was looking at the four of them.
The four of them were also looking at her, especially Xia Tang, the Queen Mother, and the Son of Heaven, all of whom were extremely curious about this woman who was known as the most mysterious woman in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
Although what she did was hidden under the radiant Shenwu King, if you think about it carefully, it is also terrifying.
When King Shenwu was six years old, he raised a pair of 3,000-pound golden lions, defeated Fusang Lux Xiangtian, and broke the White Lotus conspiracy.
Xia Yuxue, after the age of six, the guards around him were extremely mysterious, and then at the shadow of the imminent decline of the imperial court, he supported the sky with one hand, and simply covered the royal shadow in the entire pass, and then spread to the outside of the pass.
It can be described as a real emperor in the dark.
No one knew how she could have such power, but she did it.
If she disobeys the royal family, she will kill them all; if she is proud and domineering, has something to rely on, and disobeys the royal family, she will personally carry a knife to kill the nine clans; if she crosses the line, whoever comes will die; and if she is tempted, which hand reaches out will directly cut off that hand.
These things, because of the shadow court, are all made of non-public records and filings, and others don't know about it, but the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and even this Xia Tang understand it very well.
The reason why the six major masters were able to be stabilized outside the Rose Pass seemed to have no wind and waves, but it was all the credit of this imperial daughter.
And then what.
Shenwu King Desert went to rescue the former Black Son of Heaven, Xia Dian, naturally it is also extremely beautiful, defeating the young generation of heroes like defeating pigs and dogs, and then revealing the conspiracy of the four unspoken, but unfortunately the general trend is strange, the new emperor ascended the throne on the Feng Zen platform, he first held the halberd on the sun, killed Xuan Lone, and led the secret guard, halfway intercepted and killed three thousand on the right path.
After that, it opened an almost mythical killing road, Jiangnan Daoxing killed 20,000, one person and one halberd blocked the Western army, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the peak of the Forbidden City, and became a god in a battle, and no one in the world could look at it.
So, what about this princess?
At the beginning, she chose to go to the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism to investigate the closure of the mountain, and then the army surrounded the mountain, and the master of the ancestor level in the two sects was hard to fight, although she was trapped in the killing array, and then she was able to break the formation and return, which is also a miracle.
After that, she went out mysteriously, first in the desert outside Yanshan Pass, then in the north, and then outside the big river across the southern barbarians.
It can be said that she has traveled all over the territory and border of the entire Great Zhou, but no one knows what she went to do, and why she came back now, no one still knows.
Compared with the Shenwu King's one-handed covering, she is extremely mysterious and has no brilliance, but she has a hidden intention to kill.
At this time, this cold and solemn princess stood straight, her left hand pressed the hilt of the knife, with a hint of curvature on her lips, she was wearing a simple plain white short-sleeved strongsuit, some of her long gray hair was tied into braids at will, hanging down behind her, her skin was pale as sickly, and her eyes were deep and bottomless, as if she was looking at the abyss.
Xia Yuxue asked for the first time: "Where is Uncle Xiaohuang?"
She only seems to care about the man's dynamics, and the rest of the people seem to be inadequate.
Then he coldly spat out the second sentence: "The world is starting to fall apart." ”
This second sentence was like a boulder falling from the sky, directly hitting the already uncalm hearts of everyone present, causing an uproar.
