Chapter 9 The Luoyang Turmoil

One

Although Anne rejected the request of the morning glory, they still refused to leave, and they continued to pester.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please go back with us!" the leading morning glory guard knelt down in front of her and pleaded, "The last general and others were ordered to find all the way from Chang'an to Luoyang, but the men and horses could not rest day and night, and even the horses ran to death. And because of the incessant search for the past few days, the soldiers are almost exhausted, and there are dozens of brothers outside the city who are still searching, so the princess must let us go back to the palace to explain!"

Anne really didn't want to see their miserable eyes, but she couldn't make up her mind to go back to the palace with them for a while.

"Big brothers, please forgive me, it's all my fault, I'm sorry for causing you to be a burden!" Anne bowed to them helplessly and said, "Since I have already left the palace, how can I go back again! Please take care of your mother, and see you again. Also, please rest assured that with the protection of the two sisters, Zixia and Shang'an, we will be fine. ”

With that, Anne took a golden hairpin from between her buns, wrapped it in a brocade silk, and handed it to the morning glory guard as a token, so that they could give an account when they returned to the palace. The morning glory guard knew that if he forced the princess to return to the palace, he was afraid that his hands would hurt the princess, and the group of people under his command would definitely not be the opponent of these two beautiful women, so he had to leave there with tokens and regrets.

Although they rode away, Anne could not completely extricate herself from the dilemma she had just had. Suddenly, she threw herself into Kangta's arms and began to cry bitterly.

"Hey, third sister!" Zixia sighed beside her, "If today, there are probably not many people like you who are so affectionate and understanding." ”

"Yes!" Shang An said, shaking his head again, "Hey! what a disappointment, it's really infuriating for them to mess up a good party." Hmph!"

"Sister, are you a little determined? ”

"I want to too!" Shang An explained, "But I am the fire of the five elements, and I can't settle down if I think about it!"

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go back!"

"Where are you going?"

"What, do you want to eat other people's food for nothing!" Zixia said with a smile, "Do you think this restaurant is opened by our family, and you don't need to give money after eating so many things from other people!"

"But I didn't take a few bites!"

"Then you have to give money. ”

"Hey, the mortal world is the mortal world. ”

After that, Shang An took twenty taels of gold and returned to the restaurant, only to find that the boss and the guys there were all gone, and the building was empty. She searched for a moment before she found them at the counter, and was ready to pay for the meal, but they did not dare to accept it, but kept squatting there and shivering, without saying a word. Maybe they were scared by those tax officials, or maybe they were scared by Shang An and Zixia. But no matter what, they didn't dare to accept the money, but Shang An couldn't help but give it, so in desperation, she had to put the twenty taels of gold in front of them, and said, "This is the money paid for your meals and the loss fee paid to the restaurant, take it." ”

After Shang An took care of everything, he left the restaurant with Zixia, Kang Tai, and Annie. They traveled through the West Market to the East Market, but Anne always seemed depressed along the way. Helplessly, Kang Tai actually pretended to be a clown in front of the crowd on the street, jumping and jumping, and telling some small jokes from time to time to make Anne happy. Finally, the effort was gone, and it didn't take long for Anne to laugh out loud.

In the afternoon, Kang Tai and Anne followed Zixia and Shang An on the streets of Dongshi. At this time, Kang Tai and Anne secretly thought to themselves, what are they doing in Luoyang?

Of course not. In fact, all of this is under the control of the Zixia Fairy, including every detail. Therefore, there must be a reason why Zixia took Luoyang City as their first destination after leaving Beijing.

Sure enough, at the same time, Yang Kun, Wang Naxiang, Fang Dongsheng and his thieves' subordinates were all dressed in well-dressed clothes at the gate of a silk village in Dongshi, talking to a general wearing a battle robe and armor. This person's name is Feng Gui, Yang Kun's brother, and he is now guarding the city as the right guard Sima. This person has at least thousands of men under his command, and he can be regarded as a pivotal figure in Luoyang City.

It doesn't matter when they entered the city, did they arrive a few days ago, or did they just arrive today? What matters is whether they were ordered to infiltrate Luoyang as merchants this time, whether it was to complete some kind of espionage activity, or whether they had other plans. Let's start by playing a dumb riddle to all readers, and please read down slowly to find out.

"Brother Yang, I haven't seen each other for so long, I really didn't expect you to be in business now, this is really unexpected by the younger brother!" Feng Gui said with emotion, "Okay, the businessman is good, much better than the little brother who often walks on the tip of the knife." ”

"Hey, the virtuous brother is too humble. Yang Kun said, "How can we be compared with a virtuous brother and a small businessman? Your brother is now an official of the imperial court!"

"Hey, what court official, don't talk about it, let's talk about you, Brother Yang!" Feng Gui asked in a hearty tone, "How are you doing?"

"Hey, don't mention it, the world is too chaotic, this business is not easy to do!"

"I think it's the same!" Feng Gui turned his gaze to Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng and said, "Look at my brain, I have patronized and spoke, and I have forgotten to ask the honorific names of these brothers, this is really the negligence of the younger brother! Brother Yang quickly introduce it to the younger brother!"

Yang Kun walked up to Wang Naxiang and Fang Dongsheng and introduced them to Feng Gui one by one. Soon, they were invited by Feng Gui and were about to go back to Feng's mansion together to catch up, but they were unexpectedly stopped by a mysterious person with a black cloak on his shoulders, a black robe, a shawl, and a sinister face.

"Who are you, why are you blocking our way?" Yang Kun stepped forward to interrogate him.

The mysterious man didn't speak all the time, just stood in front of them, lowered his head and sneered. The laughter, as cold as ice, as if coming from hell, was long and terrifying, and it was terrifying to hear.

"Hey, you're fucking dumb, talk!" Fang Dongsheng stepped forward and scolded.

After a while, the mysterious man finally asked, "Hmph, there's a big deal, I wonder if you dare to take it?"

"What kind of big deal is we afraid to take?" Fang Dongsheng raised his eyes and asked him, "Is it a murderous deal?"

"It's not. The mysterious man replied coldly, "It's a business to arrest people." ”

"Arrest whom?"

"A woman born in the year of Ding Hai. ”

At this time, Fang Dongsheng was overjoyed when he heard that the opponents he wanted to arrest were women, and then asked, "How much?"

"More than three hundred people. ”

"What! more than 300 people!" Fang Dongsheng asked in surprise, "In these chaotic years, do you want so many fucking women to open a brothel or a song hall? ”

"Hmph! Feng Gui shook his robe casually and said, "It's been a long time, it turns out to be a personal criminal, get out of the way for me, otherwise I'll send you to prison." ”

"Hey--- hey--- hey---hey!" the mysterious man sneered again, "Do you have what it takes!"

Suddenly, the mysterious man threw his cloak back, looked up with a fierce look, and roared at them. In an instant, a black wind began to blow all around, followed by a thunderbolt in the clear sky and dark clouds, giving people the feeling that the end of the world was imminent. Suddenly the East City was in chaos, and the people began to run in terror everywhere, like a herd of frightened wild horses, and lost their direction.

Three

In the chaos, Kang Tai hugged Anne tightly, and under the protection of Zixia and Shang An, he left the market and came to an alley to temporarily escape the wind, sand and people.

"Sister, what the hell is going on?" asked Anne, hiding in Kangta's arms.

"It's finally showing up. Zixia said mysteriously.

"Sister, look at this black wind, it must be the Black Dragon of the Black Sea Realm. Shang An glanced at Zixia and said, "It seems that there is another fierce battle to be fought." ”

"Kang Tai, you are here to protect the third sister, no matter what happens outside, don't go out, you know?"

"Please rest assured, eldest sister, I will protect Anne as if it were my own life. ”

"Come, take these two shelter charms, and they will keep you safe. After Zixia arranged everything, she rushed into the black wind side by side with Shang An.

"Two sisters, be careful!" said Anne, nervously to the two sisters who had disappeared into the black wind.

"Alright Annie, it's okay, everything will be fine. Kang Tai said with his body to block the black wind that kept coming.

"Kang Tai, if one day God gives you the opportunity to return to the modern age, do you choose to leave alone, or stay with me?" asked Anne with a squint of her eyes.

"Anne, why do you suddenly ask such a question? ”

"Nope. Anne retorted, "I don't want to go back to the palace, but I have made an agreement with my mother." In my parting letter to my mother, I said that if I could meet my mother again, I would stay with her until I was old. Although this was meant to comfort my mother, I was afraid that God would really arrange it this way, and I would once again find myself in that dilemma. You know what? Now I always have an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart. I'm so confused, so conflicted! ”

"I know, I understand. Kang Tai looked at her affectionately and said, "You are a good girl who attaches great importance to feelings, and it is because of this that you always put yourself in that dilemma, I know it." ”

"Kang Tai, what do you think I should do now?"

"The ancients said that it is impossible to have both fish and bear's paws. "The best thing to do is to make up your mind and choose between your mother and your future." ”

"However, my heart is so confused, I don't know what to choose, what should I do next? Anne said with tears in her eyes.

"Alright------ alright, let's not choose. Kang Tai hugged her into his arms again and said, "No matter what the fate of the future is arranged, whether we can return to the modern day or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter where I can go." For our hearts are one and will never be separated. This is my promise with you, and I will not change until death. I love you, Annie. ”

"I love you too, Yasuta. Anne closed her eyes quietly, and her mood was much more relaxed.

At this time, pillars of light of purple, blue, and gray suddenly appeared in the black wind, and as the whistling and roaring sounds of the array collided with each other alternately, a dazzling three-color aura would be emitted from time to time.

Four'

The strong air currents made Yang Kun, Wang Naxiang, Feng Gui and Fang Dongsheng and their group move forward with difficulty in the black wind. Suddenly, Yang Kun found that there was an alley in front of him to shelter from the wind, so he rushed in with Wang Naxiang, Feng Gui, and Fang Dongsheng.

Zixia and Shang An wielded the two divine swords of Ziqing and Qing, and fought fiercely against the Black Dragon of the Black Sea Realm Saint Monarch in the fierce black wind, surrounded by the light emitted after the collision of the two swords and the wand, in addition to flying sand and stones. Does such a fantastical scene make readers imagine some kind of scene in an online game? If so, please close your eyes and take a closer look!

"Sister, quickly summon the divine beast to come out to help in the battle. Shang An flew up and said.

"Okay, prepare!" Zixia swept over with a sword to avoid the entanglement of the black dragon, and then flew up and said after chanting the divine mantra, "The Golden Horn Spiritual Light Beast, appear." ”

"The Flame Kirin Beast, appear. ”

After the two fairies summoned their respective divine beasts, they stopped in mid-air and commanded them to attack the black dragon. They alternately attacked in circles, alternately attacked, and the dim sky was littered with fireballs and light waves.

"Hmph, you have divine beasts, don't you have this holy monarch?" the black dragon muttered as he dodged the fire bombs and light waves, "Ahhh

Suddenly, the black wind stopped automatically, revealing the wolf-filled street market. Immediately afterward, in the cloudy sky, a flash of lightning quickly shot out, followed by a "boom" thunder, and a light rain began to fall between the dense clouds.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and soon it turned into a downpour. All this seems to be very normal, isn't it raining! But the strange thing is that after landing, the rain does not spread out into the drainage ditch in all directions, but quickly centers it around the black dragon. In an instant, the rain that fell to the ground enveloped him, forming a transparent protective shield against the fire bombs and light waves that came from it.

"Ula ------ Ulla!" the black dragon began to chant the spell again in the transparent protective shield, "The black water demon dragon beast has appeared. ”

As soon as the black dragon's words fell, the rain around him rose rapidly upwards, and soon formed a wall of water that pierced through the sky, separating the demon from Zixia, Shang An, and their divine beasts.

"Hmph! What the hell is this beast playing again. Shang An said very impatiently, "The Flame Qilin Beast, continue to attack through the wall of water. ”

"Slow down, sister, beware of deception. Zixia took Shang An's hand and said.

Just when they were hesitating, they suddenly felt a loud "boom" in their ears, and when they reacted, they found that the wall of water had been burst into a black hole. Suddenly, out of the black hole rushed out a dark, green-eyed, strange-looking dragon.

The Black Water Demon Dragon Beast is a unique battle beast in the Black Sea Realm, this beast is a collection of thousands of Yin Qi, the attack power, lethality is 100%, the protection is 98%, and the special move is "Dark Destruction Light Wave".

"Black Water Demon Dragon Beast, open the Netherworld Dragon Spring Cave and release the demon spirit. As soon as the black dragon commanded, the demonic dragon beast rushed into a dark cloud, and after churning several times, it merged with the dark cloud, forming a black hole in the shape of a spring.

"No, he's going to summon the Demon Legion. Zixia said worriedly, "Quick, order the divine beast to use a special move to block the entrance of the Longquan Cave, otherwise the world will be in chaos." ”

Five

At this critical juncture, the two fairies Zixia and Shang An had no choice but to release all their mana to enhance the strength of their respective divine beasts, and make the energy index of the two divine beasts reach the peak, hoping that they could solve the Netherworld Dragon Spring Cave at one time.

"Fire Kirinmon, listen to orders. Shang An hung in the air and said, "Use the three-element true fire wave and attack." ”

"Golden Horn Spiritual Light Beast, listen to orders. Zixia also hung in the air and ordered, "Use the Ice Burst Golden Light Technique, attack." ”

In an instant, the two divine beasts gathered energy at the same time under the command of the two fairies. When their energy index had reached its peak, the darkness around them began to be swallowed up by the aura released. Suddenly, "Whewβ€”β€” huh!" After two sounds, two light waves of different colors shot towards the black hole in the shape of a spring.

"Hmph! It's really a mantis arm blocking the car, and I can't do anything I can't do it. The black dragon was still standing inside the rain-soaked shield and said, "Black Water Demon Dragonmon, use the Dark Destruction Light Wave against them. ”

At the black dragon's command, the strangely shaped black hole began to quickly absorb the dark power around it, and also continued to increase its own energy index. Immediately afterwards, with a "β€”β€”!whoosh", an inky black pillar of light greeted the two light waves that shot out.

In an instant, two powerful forces collided with each other, resulting in a big explosion. The shock wave of the explosion shook the heavens and the earth, and even the Empress Dowager Wu, who lived in Chang'an, felt the tremors.

"Wan'er, what's going on?" Empress Dowager Wu asked, "How can I feel this Daming Palace trembling?"

"Yes!" Shangguan Wan'er looked at the trembling long table and said suspiciously, "The ministers and maids also feel it, could it be an earthquake!"

While they were puzzled, a strange message came from the inner warden.

"Empress Dowager Qi, according to the Tongguan Frontier Observation Post, there was a sky-high fire and earth-shattering explosions in the direction of Luoyang, but the specific situation is unknown. The inner chamberlain knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Wu and said, "Now the entire Tongguan is under intense defense, please make a decision." ”

"Queen Mother, could it be that the thieves attacked Luoyang?" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly asked.

"No way. Empress Dowager Wu turned around and said confidently, "I have sent 300,000 strong troops, and Li Xiaoyi will lead the troops to suppress them." They won't hit Luoyang so soon, there must be something else in this matter, but they can't be unguarded. It seems that now we have a quick decision. Wan'er, the purpose. ”

"Yes. Wan'er answered, picked up the brush that had been prepared on the table, and prepared.

"Since the rebellious Xu Luo Yangzhou raised troops, Changzhou, Runzhou, Xuzhou and other places have been captured by the rebels, in order to be able to completely defeat it, I specially ordered you not to love the war, we must gather superior forces to advance quickly to Yangzhou, and make a big noise, force it to return to help. And set up an ambush in the Yangzhou area, and be sure to annihilate all the enemies who came to its aid. After that, Empress Dowager Wu instructed again, "Wan'er, after the holy decree is prepared, immediately order someone to send it to Li Xiaoyi's army as soon as possible, and there must be no mistake." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother. Wan'er replied, then lowered her head and continued to write.

"The Inner Chamberlain. ”

"The minions are here. ”

"Pass on my message, and order the envoy of Hedong Jiedu to monitor Luoyang more closely, and if there is a special situation, report it immediately. ”

"Yes. ”

In fact, Wu Zetian understands very well that in this turbulent period, anything can happen, so she pays special attention to Luoyang whenever there is a disturbance.

Six

After the sunset fell into the valley, Zixia and Shang An were still in Luoyang East City, constantly casting spells to deal with the expanding Netherworld Dragon Spring Cave. But because of their long-term consumption of mana, coupled with that big black hole, they have a strong ability to absorb external energy, so they are about to be unable to hold on.

"Hmph! you're really playing with your life!" asked the black dragon as he stepped out of his shield, "Is it worth it?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, we don't know. Zixia said with a pale face, "Yes------ but we must stop you from releasing the demon spirit." ”

"Sisterβ€”I can't hold it anymore. Shang An began to stagger in the air.

"Sister------ sister, how are you? ”

Seeing that the two sisters were really unable to hold on, the black dragon took off into the air and said, "It's almost over, let this Holy Monarch give you a ride!" ”

"Stop. Anne, accompanied by Kang Tai, walked out of the alley and said, "I beg you to let them live!"

Kang Tai put his mouth into Anne's ear and said, "Yes, go on, don't stop." The only thing we can do now is hold back that demon and give them a chance to breathe. ”

"Isn't there any other way to think of it?" asked Anne in a whisper, "wouldn't that be too passive?"

"That's the only thing we can do!" said Kang Tai, taking Anne's hand, "Don't forget it's a demon!

"Kang Tai!" Anne asked in surprise, "Do you already know the identities of my two sisters?"

"Of course. Kang Tai replied softly, "Do you think I'm a fool? Before all this, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and until now I can't believe it, but the facts are in front of me, and I can't believe it." ”

The black dragon became a little impatient in the air and asked, "What the hell are you doing there?"

"What the hell can we do! You're so good. Anne replied.

"Then what are you muttering there? Are you cursing this Holy Monarch?"

"Hmph, curse you, we don't dare. Kang Tai said indifferently.

"Nonsense. The black dragon scolded him and quickly rolled out a palm that hit him in the chest.

In an instant, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he fell to the ground.

"Kang-Tai, how are you?" said Anne, who hurriedly picked him up, "Where are the injuries?" tell me, Kang-Tai. ”

"I'm ------ I'm not ------ okay. Kang Tai replied hesitantly, "It's ------ good that I've practiced, no------ otherwise the palm just now would have ------ and ------ my life." Ahh

"Kang Tai, don't talk, you'll be fine after a while. Anne stroked Kang Tai's face and said affectionately, "You'll be fine, and I won't allow you to be okay." ”

"Third sister, go back quickly, it's too dangerous here. Zixia helped Shang An to continue casting spells to deal with the Netherworld Dragon Spring Cave, and said, "Here, we ------ we can deal with it, you go back quickly, back to the alley." ”

"No, I'm not leaving. Anne said, "I can't watch you die at the hands of this demon, no, I can't." ”

"Hmph, what a woman who values friendship, it makes people feel pity!" said the black dragon with a sneer, "It's a pity that this Holy Monarch hates you amorous people the most. Hey ------"

After the black dragon's cold laughter, the spring-shaped black hole suddenly spread rapidly and violently in all directions, forming an overwhelming black hole. Soon, countless grinning, heavily armed monsters rushed out of the dark cavern.

"It seems that the world is really going to be in chaos. Zixia also faltered.

"Sister, now that the wood is in the boat, it is really difficult for us to have a chance to recover. Shang An closed his eyes after saying this, his body tilted back, and he fell into the sky. In mid-air, her long hair continued to flutter in the wind, her long skirt also fluttered upward, and her slender jade hand still held the divine sword------ A beauty is a beauty, no matter what the circumstances, she can maintain her beautiful face and lose her luster without being affected by the outside world.

"Shang'erβ€”" Zixia shouted, and fell down as well.

"Eldest sister, second sister. Anne cried out with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, Anne's tears poured out. Unexpectedly, a drop actually fell into Kangta's eyes. The tears of the "dragon and phoenix" skillfully blended together at this critical moment, and the sadness and concern made their tears have supreme mana. Soon, the Yin and Yang Mixed Source Divine Power hidden in their bodies was temporarily awakened.

Two spiritual lights suddenly appeared in the darkness, and with lightning speed, they shot towards the falling Zixia monk Shang'an. In the blink of an eye, the two spiritual rays shot into their bodies.

With the help of the Yin and Yang Mixed Source Divine Power, Zixia and Shang An made the mana in his body that was about to be exhausted instantly replenished, and it also increased dozens of times on the original basis. Under the protection of the aura, they flew into the air again, and once again used their unique moves to eliminate the monsters that rushed out.

"Sister, it's time to concentrate your mana on that Netherworld Dragon Spring Cave. Shang An said.

Heilong knew that he had failed this time, and if he continued to fight hard, he was afraid that he would lose both, and he would not do anything to lose money. So it had no choice but to recall the demonic beast and disappear without a trace as a gust of black wind.

Luoyang City has temporarily returned to calm, and the people have come out one after another to clean up the market, preparing to set up a night market, as if everything that happened just now is just a natural disaster that has not been encountered in a century, and no one has bothered to ask about it again.

As soon as Zixia, Shang An, Kang Tai and Anne stayed in an inn, they heard that more than 10,000 people defending the city had launched a mutiny under the instigation of Sima Fenggui and others, killing Da Sima and controlling the entire city defense. This is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave!
