Chapter 2: The Fall of the Palace
The entire Northern Wilderness City, under an order from King Wu, began to become nervous, and groups of soldiers held swords and marched towards the city gate with neat steps.
The Northern Wilderness City was not inhabited by ordinary people, and the entire city was used as a garrison, so it did not cause panic.
In the early morning of the second day, all the troops in the city had already driven to the city gate, and every soldier had a resolute look on his face, and his eyes were full of war.
They all knew that the Northern Wilderness City would face an unprecedented battle next, and perhaps this would be the last time they would defend the Northern Wilderness City.
These soldiers of the Northern Wilderness City under the command of the Martial King's Mansion were all veterans who had been sprinting on the battlefield all year round, even though they knew that they were facing the million-strong army of the Taiyi Empire next, but they did not show even the slightest fear.
Jin Ge Iron Horse goes, and the horse leather shroud is returned!
This is the belief of the Wuwang Mansion to resist foreign invasion in the past dynasties, and it has continued to this day.
On the walls of the city, there were soldiers standing in full battle, and no one made even the slightest sound, waiting quietly for the storm to come.
"Shigongzi, all the soldiers are already in place. ”
In the middle of the city wall, a veteran who was over half a hundred years old stood beside a young man, with a heavy face, and said loudly.
The young man was tall, dressed in military uniform, with a sword at his waist, a helmet in one hand, and the cool breeze of the morning breeze whistling his black hair.
This person is Ye Qingtian's eldest brother, Ye Qingfeng, as the son of King Wu, he is the first soldier every time, charging ahead, has a very high prestige in the army, and is also the only young sword master in the entire Yuan Kingdom.
Sword Bearer is the name given by the Four Extremes Dao Earth Monks to some special monks after they have reached a certain level of cultivation.
In the Four Extremes Dao Land, the cultivation realm of monks is from the bottom to the highest, and it is generally divided into the Spiritual Root Realm, the Soul Summoning Realm, the Divine Formation Realm, and the King Blood Realm......
And when cultivating to reach the realm of godhood, condense the sword seal, and skillfully control it, forming a sword soul, such a monk is called a sword master.
Ye Qingfeng's resolute face did not have any expression, a pair of breathtaking eyes stared at the endless grassland in front of him, and when he heard the veteran's words, he only nodded slightly.
The veteran who is more than half a hundred years old is the commander of the guards in the Wuwang Mansion, no one knows his full name, only knows his surname Gu, so everyone also calls him the Gu Commander, he has followed the Wuwang for more than 30 years, and is a powerful king blood realm powerhouse.
Ye Qingfeng didn't speak, and the ancient commander also stood silently behind him, and it wasn't until a long time later that the former withdrew his gaze slightly, and looked at the city wall and the soldiers on the city wall with reluctant eyes.
"After this battle, I don't know if I can return to the imperial capital. Ye Qingfeng said in a deep voice, looking a little desolate.
The ancient commander didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say, by this time, everyone was very clear about what kind of situation the Northern Wilderness City would face.
And as soon as Ye Qingfeng's words fell, King Wu also came to the city wall, and after hearing the former's words, his body was also slightly shocked.
"Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned!"
The powerful voice of the Martial King sounded, and Ye Qingfeng and the ancient commander both turned their heads to look at the Martial King.
"Father!"
"Martial King!"
Seeing King Wu, Ye Qingfeng and the ancient commander shouted at the same time.
King Wu waved his hand, and then came to Ye Qingfeng's side, staring at the grassland outside the city.
"Qingchen!" the Martial King asked aloud as he looked ahead.
"The second brother has already led the troops out of the city, and he should arrive at the battlefield at this time. Ye Qingfeng replied to his father's words, but his voice was a little trembling, and his eyes were red.
King Wu didn't look back at Ye Qingfeng, he forcibly endured the grief in his heart, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
"Here I am, go meet your mother and brother. ”
Ye Qingfeng moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it, and finally only replied slightly: "Okay." ”
......
In the Wuwang Mansion, at this time, Ye Qingtian was sleeping soundly in Qin Feiyue's arms, and Xiaobai woke up and was dancing around the two of them.
Qin Feiyue gently stroked Ye Qingtian's hair, with a slight smile on her face, but her smile was a little more bitter and reluctant.
"Mother!"
At this time, Ye Qingfeng walked in from outside the door, stood in the middle of the door with a tall body, shouted slightly, and then his eyes fell on Ye Qingtian's body.
Qin Feiyue looked up at Ye Qingfeng and made a gesture of boosing.
Ye Qingfeng didn't speak again, took out a piece of white jade from his arms, and then came to Qin Feiyue's side, holding the white jade with trembling hands and handing it to Qin Feiyue.
Qin Feiyue took the white jade, a tear involuntarily dripped from the corner of her eye, and her white arm trembled as well.
"Where's Chen'er's corpse!" Qin Feiyue rubbed the white jade and lowered her head and asked Ye Qingfeng.
Tears have also filled Ye Qingfeng's eyes, this piece of white jade was handed over to their mother by his second brother Ye Qingchen before he left the city, the same white jade, all the descendants of the Wuwang Mansion have such a piece, and the name of the holder is engraved on it.
Ye Qingfeng didn't wipe the tears on his face, his lips squirmed slightly, stared at Qin Feiyue, and said, "Father said that he only died for the country, so why should he return the horse leather shroud." ”
After speaking, Ye Qingfeng knelt directly in front of Qin Feiyue, kowtowed three times in a row, and said resolutely: "Mother, the child has gone." ”
Getting up, Ye Qingfeng didn't wait for Qin Feiyue's answer, and turned around to leave.
"Big brother, take Tian'er with you. ”
Before Ye Qingfeng stepped out of the room, Ye Qingtian's immature voice sounded from behind him.
When Ye Qingfeng heard this, his whole body was shocked, and he glanced back at Ye Qingtian, who was already full of tears, but he didn't answer his third brother's words, he resolutely turned around, and left the Wuwang Mansion quickly with a few soldiers at the door.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Ye Qingfeng left, and Ye Qingtian cried loudly, "Mother, do father, eldest brother and second brother not like Tian'er anymore, why don't they take me there." ”
Ye Qingtian fell into Qin Feiyue's arms, crying heartbreakingly, his thin body kept twitching, and Xiaobai also fell beside him at this time, his head kept rubbing against the former's back.
Qin Feiyue kept patting Ye Qingtian's back, and tears had already covered her beautiful face.
"Tian'er, your father doesn't dislike Tian'er, it's just that they have important things to do, and they can't take Tian'er there. Qin Feiyue comforted her little son softly, but her tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Mother deceives, Tian'er knows everything, father, they won't come back, they don't want Tian'er, ahhh......hhhhhh
Ye Qingtian's words made Qin Feiyue finally couldn't help it, hugged Ye Qingtian tightly, and began to cry bitterly.
Outside the door, there was also a slight crying, a maid of about sixteen years of age, who was of outstanding appearance, and whose eyes were already red and swollen, leaning against the door, and sobbing incessantly.
After a long time, the maid wiped the tears from her face slightly, and then walked in slowly.
"Ma'am, it's time to go. With red and swollen eyes, the maid was beside Qin Feiyue and said softly.
Although this maid knew that she should not disturb Qin Feiyue's mother and son at this time, she had to do so because of the urgency of the matter.
Qin Feiyue didn't blame the maid, raised her head, wiped the tears from her face, and then pressed a hand lightly on Ye Qingtian's back, and a white halo sank into her body.
With the entry of the halo, Ye Qingtian also quieted down, no longer crying, and the whole person seemed to be asleep again.
"Qianhe, take the little young master to leave the Northern Wilderness City, the farther away the better, don't let the little young master think about revenge, let him live well. ”
Qin Feiyue wiped the tears from the corners of Ye Qingtian's eyes and whispered to the maid beside her.
When the maid Qianhe heard Qin Feiyue's words, she was slightly puzzled, and said, "Madam, aren't you going to leave together?" ”
Qianhe didn't understand why Qin Feiyue didn't take her youngest son with her, Ye Qingtian was eight years old, how painful it should be after waking up.
Qin Feiyue looked back at Qianhe, a slight smile appeared on her face, and said, "Take the little young master away, I won't leave, King Wu can't live without me." ”
"Madame......"
Qianhe listened to Qin Feiyue's words, and tears flashed in her eyes again.
"Let's go, take Xiaobai with you. Qin Feiyue said firmly, and then reluctantly hugged Ye Qingtian.
Looking at Ye Qingtian in Qianhe's arms, Qin Feiyue took care of Ye Qingtian's hair, and said softly with tears in her eyes.
"Tian'er, my mother is sorry for you, you have to live well, you know?"
After speaking, Qin Feiyue took off a pocket on her waist and put it in Ye Qingtian's little hand.
"Tian'er, my mother in this Qiankun bag has prepared a lot of potpourri cakes for you that you like to eat, if you miss your mother in the future, you will take it out and eat one. ”
Ye Qingtian left, together with Qianhe and Xiaobai, under Qin Feiyue's heartbroken gaze, and left the Wuwang Mansion.
......
After Qianhe left with Ye Qingtian, the entire Wuwang Mansion was empty, and those who should have left had already left, and those who didn't leave were the palace guards who guarded the Northern Wilderness City and defended the Wuwang Mansion with a determined heart.
On the top of the huge hall of the Martial Prince's Mansion, Qin Feiyue sat alone on it, and in front of him, there were two pieces of white jade, one white jade was white and flawless, and there were some names of his second son Ye Qingchen on it. Another piece of white jade was covered with bloodstains, and on it was the name of his eldest son, Ye Qingfeng.
Ye Qingfeng's white jade was sent by a soldier an hour ago.
Qin Feiyue's face at this time could no longer see any expression, her tears had dried up, and her dull eyes stared at the two pieces of white jade in front of her.
In the following time, there were constantly white jades being sent to Qin Feiyue, each piece was stained with blood, and in less than an hour, forty pieces of white jade were already placed in front of her.
In other words, in the current Wuwang Mansion lineage, except for Ye Qingtian, only the Martial King and her are still alive.
......
Roar......
A heaven-shattering dragon roar suddenly sounded in the sky above the Wuwang Mansion, and then, the entire Wuwang Mansion began to shake, countless dust fell from the roof, and a majestic force enveloped the entire Wuwang Mansion.
The sound of the dragon's roar sounded, and Qin Feiyue's eyes once again glowed with brilliance, and she could hear that it was the roar of the White Dragon King.
In the next moment, Qin Feiyue had already turned into a streamer, and she swept out of the main hall of the Martial King Mansion in an instant.
High in the sky, the White Dragon King and the Martial King stood side by side, and opposite them were four people bathed in divine light.
I couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and the endless divine light wrapped them all in it, and only one silhouette could be seen.
Qin Feiyue stepped on the void, and with every step she took, a white lotus flower emerged.
"Qin Feiyue!"
The person bathed in the thunder light saw Qin Feiyue and said loudly, with a slight fear in his tone.
"I didn't expect King Lei to remember me Qin Feiyue, it's really an honor. ”
Qin Feiyue came to King Wu's side and looked at the four people opposite with cold eyes.
"King Lei, why talk nonsense with them, today's Wuwang Mansion is already in calamity, and the big trouble in the hearts of you and me can be regarded as solved. "It was the Rain King who spoke, and he was covered by a curtain of water with divine light, and only a human face could be seen floating in the water.
"Alas......" King Lei sighed, he knew best about the Martial King's Mansion and the White Dragon Clan, and it was impossible for the other party to be captured.
However, the two of the Martial King and the White Dragon King are indeed powerful and abnormal, and the four of them can only suppress each other when they join forces, and now with the addition of a Qin Feiyue, King Lei has a slight retreat in his heart.
Qin Feiyue is just the princess of Wuwang's Mansion in the eyes of outsiders, but he knows very well that Qin Feiyue also has an identity, which makes him very jealous.
Outside the Northern Wilderness City, on the vast grassland, Xiao Bai carried Qianhe and Ye Qingtian and didn't know how far they had flown out.
With the monstrous divine light constantly emerging from the sky above the Northern Wilderness City, Xiao Bai glanced back, tears flashing in his huge bright eyes.
Qianhe hugged Ye Qingtian and also looked in the direction of the Northern Wilderness City, his face was full of pain and tears.
"Stop, who are you!"
While the former was still in pain, countless soldiers suddenly emerged from all directions, wearing armor, fierce and vicious, and many of them still had blood stains on their bodies, and the blood stains had not yet dried, obviously having just experienced a battle.
From the armor on these soldiers, coupled with the flags raised around them, Qianhe recognized at a glance that these soldiers were from the Taiyi Empire.
Qianhe hugged Ye Qingtian tightly, with a look of horror on her face, this sudden arrival of the Taiyi Empire army caught her a little off guard.
Xiao Bai also stared at these soldiers of the Taiyi Empire with angry eyes, although they were young, they had dragon power overflowing.
"This white dragon may belong to the White Dragon Clan, they are likely to be people from the Wuwang Mansion who escaped from the Northern Wilderness City, and they will be captured and returned to receive the reward. ”
A veteran of the Taiyi Empire who had scolded Qianhe before said to several soldiers beside him, and at the same time, he also drew the sword at his waist and walked towards Qianhe.
These soldiers of the Taiyi Empire are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they also have good cultivation, Qianhe is just a maid in the Martial Prince's Mansion, Kenben cannot be an opponent, plus there are countless chariots circling in their air, Xiaobai can't carry them away.
Qianhe hugged Ye Qingtian tightly in his arms, vigilantly looked at the soldiers of the Taiyi Empire who were constantly approaching them, and retreated step by step.
"Little girl, come with us obediently, so that you will not suffer from flesh and skin. With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, the veteran of the Taiyi Empire approached step by step, and said loudly.
Chiho didn't answer the other party's words, and still stepped back, even though she knew that there was no way back for them.
Gollum......
Just when Qianhe was desperate, there was a sudden roar of birds in the sky, and then, a gust of wind suddenly blew.
Suddenly, the earth and grass flew on the ground, and the people present were scraped to the ground, and the next moment, the whole sky suddenly darkened.
Countless soldiers looked up one after another, and suddenly showed a look of horror.
It was a strange bird the size of ten feet, all blue, hovering above their heads, its outstretched wings covering the sky and the sun, and blowing hurricanes.
"What kind of strange bird is this, how come I've never seen it before. The soldiers of the Taiyi Empire panicked and fought on the grassland for a long time, and they deeply understood what a terrible thing it was to be targeted by an angry beast.
Qianhe was also blown to the ground by the strong wind, firmly protecting Ye Qingtian under him, looking up at the fierce birds in the air.
Gollum......
The cyan bird let out another roar, and then fell sharply, a pair of claws like steel hooks grabbing at Qianhe.
Strike......
In the process, the cyan fierce bird flapped its wings violently, and all the surrounding soldiers from the Taiyi Empire flew out, and for a while, screams and wails rang out.
Qianhe didn't dare to look at it, and protected Ye Qingtian under him.
However, the next moment, the cyan fierce bird directly grabbed Qianhe and Xiaobai together, and threw them directly into the air, and then it slammed into the sky and caught them with its own back.
Gollum......
The cyan fierce bird let out a long cry, carrying Qianhe towards the north, and in less than a moment, it had disappeared into the sky.
The soldiers of the One Empire stood up from the ground with each other's support, looking in shock in the direction in which the cyan ferocious bird had disappeared.
