(015) The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant
I don't know how I fainted, I just feel that my internal organs are crushed, and my heart hurts.... Then her consciousness gradually blurred, and she didn't know how long it took, when there was a scorching bright light in front of her, and then, she found that she seemed to have been thrown into a barren snowfield...
At a glance, the sky and the earth are vast, and the snow is white....
And he was lying alone on this desert snowfield, annihilated by the heavy snow, his hands and feet were stiff and submerged in the snow, and he couldn't move....
I could only lie motionless like that, letting the cold snowflakes fall on top of my head, and letting the cold snow wind cut my cheeks inch by inch....
At that moment, a wave of despair and confusion arose from the bottom of her heart, and she seemed to feel that her future was gradually becoming white, as clean as the earth.
I unconsciously wanted to close my eyes and let my body and mind fall into that eternal tranquility, but I was pulled back from the trance of falling into a dream by a crisp and gentle voice - "Hey, wake up, I promised you everything, don't break your promise to me!" ”
Who is it? Who whispered in her ear?
The snowfield disappeared suddenly, but the picture in front of him strangely turned into pitch black, and the poppy consciousness fell into another, more bewildering abyss...
--------------------------------
"Why, is she dead?"
"Why hasn't she woken up yet? Isn't it dead?"
The sound of the double cannon sounded again at an inopportune time, making the man who had been called a servant a little impatient - "Half a life, death is not far away!" ”
Two identical faces came up in unison, looked up and down around the unconscious woman, and then shook their heads in unison, and the words that came out turned out to be the same--
"We hate to die!"
"We hate to die!"
It turns out that this pair of cannons is actually a pair of dragon and phoenix twins in the mood for love, although the gender is very different, but because they are twins, their faces are extremely similar, their faces are fair, their eyebrows and eyes are slender and slightly peachy, and the two thin lips are also slightly raised, and the faces of the two look quite a kind of demon fox.
And the person they called him a squirrel, faintly looking at him, was a little boy with red lips and white teeth who was only eleven or twelve years old! His clear voice was completely inconsistent with his actual age.
If Yan Zheng and the soldiers and generals of the Ruoye clan knew the age of this kid before, they were afraid that they would dislocate their jaws, and it was such a childish boy who played with a group of adults yesterday, it really can't help but be terrifying!
And the little genius who was still beautiful before was extremely angry at the woman in front of him who had been in a coma all night, but yesterday he was very kind enough to bring her out of the palace of the Naroya tribe with her followers with the art of earth escape, and mercifully let the kid live and threw him in a corner of Yonghui City, this woman actually repaid him like this! Now he looks half-dead, but what should he do?
Then he put his finger on her pulse, although the pulse was inexhaustible, it was extremely weak, and it seemed that he could die at any time!
The master has repeatedly explained that she wants to bring the work back, and she is afraid that she will not be able to survive for a few days, how can she explain to the master? After all, this is the first time that he has been entrusted by his master to subdue the strange beast in the six years since he has been practicing in Huiji Mountain, how can he let the master look down on him because of her!
Thinking about this, he was so angry that he scolded unabashedly: "Why is this dead woman so weak! Far worse than her henchmen! Just like this, he is still a shamo wizard, and he can't even stand the art of earth escape! ”
The so-called earth escape technique is to use the earth-based material as the medium to integrate all things in heaven and earth or the human body with it, and turn the body into an arrow, penetrating the soil and rocks underground, so as to achieve the five elements of moving the body quickly underground.
And the pair of dragons and phoenixes are accustomed to the art of earth escape, so they are naturally calm, and that Yan Zheng is a shamo wizard, and he is no stranger to the five elements of heaven and earth.
Dudu Lili, although he is awakened by spiritual power, he is still a mortal physique, and his body and bones are not as good as these perennial cultivators. Although there was no flesh and skin injury under the protection of Zhu Yan's giant claws, and Yan Zheng also tried his best to protect her with his spiritual power, but it was still a drop in the bucket, and now her five internal organs were injured by the aftermath of the earth, so she became such a life and death hanging on the line....
"How about we just kill her, go back and hunt a poor strange thing or something, and turn into her appearance and hand it over to the master?"
"Yes, yes, why don't we find a girl of the same age and change this skin, then everything will be fine, and we can go back to Huiji Mountain as soon as possible."
"You're annoyed! Who is the master? Is it that easy to deceive? Besides, her old man so carefully instructed us to bring her back no matter what means we use, there must be a big plan, how can we be allowed to be so perfunctory? Don't make any noise, let me think about it again. Unexpectedly, this little boy with red lips and white teeth had a cautious thinking that was not inferior to that of an adult, but at this time, he frowned, paced back and forth, and looked like a little adult and pondered.

The west gate of Yonghui City
A column of Ruoya soldiers dressed in black iron armor was standing under the closed city gate with high mental vigilance, shouting angrily, "Open the city gate, let us out!" The people confronted each other nervously, and no one would budge, but no one dared to act rashly.
These soldiers who were just acting on orders didn't know why they had to close the city gate as if they were facing a great enemy, but the black-armored young general with a solemn face knew some inside information.
Yesterday, a few spies of different races ran from the dungeon, not only making trouble in the palace and injuring many clansmen, including his father, who was also severely injured and almost killed, and the most hateful thing is that those people finally escaped from under everyone's noses! This is a great shame for the soldiers of the Ruoye tribe!
Even if their soldiers are attacking the city and plundering the land in front of them, what if they are unstoppable? The inner sanctum of his own palace is not as free to come and go as a backyard! How can this make the brave and invincible Ruoye soldiers who have been crisscrossing the Void Underworld for decades embarrassed?
I heard that the crown princess was furious later, saying that those who escaped must not be able to run too far if they used the earth to escape, and even if they ordered the closure of the city and the investigation, they would finally dig three feet into the ground and catch the spy who ran away.
That's why there is such a strict battle under Yonghui City. However, now that the night has passed, the person in charge of the search has found nothing, and the spy has not been caught, and the gate of Yonghui City is almost about to riot.
Yonghui City has always been a free and open city-state since the opening of the city for thousands of years, anyone can come freely, who can also go freely, this seems to have become an eternal rule, and the merchants and warriors who bustle from the south to the north every day are also endless, and the river is endless. Even though it has been attached to the Ruoye tribe for 500 years, Yonghui City has never closed the city gate for a day, so now that the rules are broken, how can those people who have long been free and accustomed to it follow?
From the early morning, the city gate has gradually gathered the people who want to go out of the city, at the beginning it was only three or three twos of passers-by slightly unwilling to wander around this place and wait, at noon, more and more crowds actually surrounded the city downstairs are all impassable.
Until this point, the crowd not only did not disperse, but also gathered more and more.
The black armor junior frowned slightly, and had a bad premonition, although because of his father's injury, he was not willing to easily let those wrongdoers out of the city, but the subconscious awe and fear of someone in his heart made him a little suspicious and apprehensive about what he was doing now.
Just when he was in a dilemma, I don't know who in the crowd took the lead and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, this Yonghui City is not your Ruoye clan, what qualifications do you have to do whatever you want here!" ”
This can stab the hornet's nest, the crowd that was already a little anxious and angry began to faintly get out of control, the crowd gradually approached in the direction of the city gate, and those Ruoye soldiers who were standing in front of the city gate on full guard hurriedly lined up at this time to form a human wall with their bodies to stop the crowd from advancing, but they did not dare to do anything excessive, so they could only slowly retreat with the crowd.
The black-armored young general standing at the back tightened his thick eyebrows tighter at this time, he was really afraid of something, although this Yonghui City had been included in the territory of their Ruoye clan since five hundred years ago, but there were always some stubborn human beings who were always unwilling to let this Yonghui City be protected by the fish-man clan, and they would provoke some trouble when they had the opportunity.
This man's heart is really a wolf that can't be fed. The black-armored young general pursed his lips disdainfully, these stupid human beings don't think about it with their conscience, in this void underworld where the strong live, a small sesame city like Yonghui, if it weren't for the divine might of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid it would have been occupied and swallowed by countless ambitious races, right?
These people, I'm afraid that they have long been reduced to mercenaries or slaves, and they live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, where can they still have such a free life? Can you still wipe your mouth and scold your mother here so calmly?
Suddenly, not far away, a column of Ruoye soldiers galloped towards him, with a long lance in his hand, and the man at the head shouted: "Please get out of the way first, and open the city immediately!" ”
When the black-armored young general saw someone coming, he inadvertently breathed a sigh of relief!
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and it took a while to slowly make a way, and the person who led the group hurriedly drove forward, showing a token with gold characters on a black background, and then attached a few words in the ear of the black armor general, the black armor general's face was slightly stiff, and he looked at the other party suspiciously: "Fengyan, don't lie to me, this is indeed my father's idea?" ”
Seeing that the other party nodded, the black-armored young general waved his hand and shouted--Kaicheng!
Half a cup of tea, only to hear a loud creak, this closed Yonghui City Gate for almost a day, finally slowly opened....
The person who called Fengyan was relieved at this time, but fortunately, General Nangong woke up in time, after his old man knew the news of the blockade, he went to ask for the decree of the crown princess in a hurry, and then sent himself to hurry up and rush here.
If this really causes a big incident and hurts innocent people, when His Highness returns, this young general who calls for wind and fire can't help but shudder, but he doesn't dare to think about it anymore, and the consequences of annoying His Highness are very serious.
Somehow, His Royal Highness has an extraordinary affection for this Yonghui City, not only moved his prince's palace from the coast of the South China Sea more than a hundred years ago, but also set up a lot of rules that are stricter than the imperial city of the South China Sea.
Presumably, General Nangong was also deeply worried about this, so as soon as Fang woke up, he dragged his sick body to beg the crown princess to take back his fate, only hoping that before His Royal Highness came back, this matter would be made small and trivial.
Thinking of General Nangong, Feng Yan's expression was awe-inspiring, and the two sword eyebrows that were obliquely inserted into the temples were deeply pressed into the center of the eyebrows.
General Nangong was accidentally killed by a traitor when he encountered the enemy last night, not only injured his internal organs, but more seriously, his hands were broken and his consciousness was completely lost. It's a pity that those hands can't hold knives and guns in the short term!
The first thing General Nangong did after waking up was to inquire about the follow-up situation last night, and when he heard the news that the crown princess ordered the closure of the city, he was shocked and forcibly dragged the sick body to meet the crown princess and asked to open the city gate.
"Crown Princess, you first came to Yonghui City, I'm afraid you don't know, the rules in Yonghui City have not changed in the slightest since His Royal Highness took over for five hundred years, His Royal Highness pointed to this city wall when he led the army into the city that day, and swore that if anyone broke the rules here, he would not be spared! If Your Highness knows about your closure of the city today, I'm afraid it will be ....."
Feng Yan remembered the words that General Nangong said bluntly in front of the crown princess before, and remembered the angry look of the crown princess at that time, and his heart was awe-inspiring, fortunately, this princess is not a stubborn person, otherwise, they really don't know how this farce will end....
Although the crown princess has a noble status, their master, their only object of allegiance, is only His Royal Highness.
This is also the reason why His Royal Highness will stay here even if he is on an expedition thousands of miles away, this is the location of His Royal Highness's palace, and the most important city that cannot be lost no matter what, so he wants to put the most trusted and loyal Praetorian Guard here, which is the Dragon Wing Army under the command of General Nangong.
However, thinking of the mess last night, Feng Yan, who is the deputy commander of the Dragon Wing Army, felt that his scalp began to tingle faintly, he was on guard in the Dragon Wing Army camp last night, so when he rushed there, those spies and the people who responded were already gone, so he didn't take a look, but he was able to seriously injure General Nangong, the number one general of the Ruoye tribe platoon, those people must have some ability.....
At this time, they don't dare to close the city, so what if they dig three feet in the city? If it's really a master as they say, there must be a way to get out, maybe before the lockdown last night---
Remembering that General Nangong had ordered someone to spread the sound of all this to His Highness before, his scalp was even more numb, and he didn't know how to explain it when His Highness came back?
