A thousand years of grinding a sword, the snake edge swallows the sky.
The sun set on the horizon, and the red mountains of flame in the sky gradually disappeared into the blue sky.
The sunset, which used to be rich and colorful, not only did not carry any pleasant beauty, but even those immovable clouds like mountains and light ink could not cover it, and slowly precipitated with it.
After these clouds were quickly engulfed by darkness, the atmosphere was strange and cold, and it felt like something mysterious was hiding behind the mountain clouds, silent, waiting for a good opportunity to attack.
When the last beam of sunset light slanted in the hall of the Iron Army Mansion, a fresh smell of tea wafted from the inside out.
Bing Fei and Tie Qiao each sat in a corner and looked at each other, in addition to a set of finely carved blue and white tea sets on the table, there was also a mighty Yakumo Sword, neither of them spoke, and the hall was so quiet that the leaves could be seen.
In Bing Fei's heart, the mood of seeing Su Xin is different from seeing Tie Qiao.
Whenever he saw Su Xin, Bing Fei was immediately moved, and there was always a fierce flame of love in his chest that could not be extricated, spreading wantonly, making his soul disappear.
However, after the fire, there is a sense of silence at the end of the world.
I want to hold the other party's hand but I am afraid that I will mess up the etiquette and lose my sense of proportion, and I can't bear the pain of parting one day.
No matter how affectionate he was to her, after meditating and thinking about it, he always had to forget all the impulses of exuberance, and kept telling himself that he had to suppress the naΓ―ve flesh and blood courage in his heart, and that he had to be sure that there was a plan in the dark.
In comparison, Tie Qiao is more approachable, never letting him have the pain of breaking his intestines even for a day, and some of them are all sudden misses.
This kind of longing is more like as long as he sees Tie Qiao smiling like a flower, he will devote his life to her, even if it is Guilin Yujia, it is a love that cannot be missed for thousands of years.
There are some things that don't need to be forced, everything has already been decided, not to mention that the war is imminent, and whether you can survive after the war is still unknown.
After Bingfei sorted out his thoughts, he picked up a cup of warm tea, the slightest white mist rose lightly in the air, tasted a sip of mellow and refreshing tea, and enjoyed a short leisurely time.
It was just a cup of tea leisure, and Bing Fei took the initiative to share with Tie Qiao the strange things that had happened in recent months.
At the same time, he also briefly narrated to Tie Qiao that the demon world was about to start a battle to determine the fate of Middle-earth.
Although, this is also something that Tie Qiao had already expected, but he never expected that the war would break out in three days.
The Monster Legion led by the old man Xingshou will attack in what way, so far no one knows.
Thinking of the critical moment when this battle was related to the future of Middle-earth, Tie Qiao's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't help but think about it in the hope that he could plan a long-term strategy.
Bing Fei, who was contemplative, seemed to have other concerns.
After hearing the words of the Wind Nighthawk, Bing Fei guessed that the Warcraft Legion might be the first to attack from the east.
The first thing to bear the brunt of must be the place where we are now, that is, the steel town with the reputation of "strong shield".
Once Steel Town falls, the path of the Warcraft Legion to the national capital Heavenly Jade City will also be unimpeded, and it is only a matter of time before the Heavenly Temple is captured.
Of course, all this was just speculation, and he told Tie Qiao the truth about his worries.
"Why do you think that Steel Town will not be able to stop the fierce attack of the Warcraft Legion? Is it true that our town, which has not been captured for thousands of years, is so vulnerable in your eyes? Or do you not believe in my ability to protect Steel Town?" Tie Qiao stood up angrily, his uncontrollable fire pupils staring at Bing Fei, and his whole person hated the roots of his teeth.
"Uh... You misunderstood me...... I'm not underestimating the sturdy defenses of Steel Town. However, if what the Wind Nighthawk said was true, those thousands of strange birds flying through the sky must have a plan, and it is not known how many other strange beasts will participate in the battle on land. Let's also not forget that those dark goblins, half-corpse beasts, ghost people and other dark clans that have been abandoned by people, under the suppression of many years, they will not hesitate to help the Demon Beast Legion, how can the soldiers and civilians of a small town hold this line of defense for a long time?" Seeing Tie Qiao's big reaction, Bing Fei looked innocent, and he couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks to explain.
In fact, Bing Fei may not know that Tie Qiao Shicai's anger was triggered by jealousy, and an emotional scene deliberately performed was more to vent the ambiguous relationship between Bing Fei and Su Xin.
Tie Qiao's sixth sense is not wrong, and now that the national disaster is present, he can only temporarily put aside his children's personal feelings, and said with a sigh: "If there are gold and steel people to help us fight, we may still have a chance to win, but it's a pity..."
"What is a pity?" Bingfei asked anxiously.
"More than half of the craftsmen and migrant workers in Steel Town have fled and died. Those who remained were either hit by the "breath of death" waiting for treatment, or they were addicted to hookah and exhausted, and all of them could not work normally. Not only did the townspeople and the Iron Mining Brigade lose their fighting spirit, but the people also left an indelible resentment towards the Iron Town because of the epidemic. Tie Qiao said to himself.
Bing Fei secretly exclaimed: "Oh no... At this critical juncture, people are not the same, and big things will inevitably come to pass..."
Tie Qiao also thought to himself, if he hadn't let the premeditated Ah Si join the important meeting, how could those germs be brought back to his camp by the respective craftsmen?
Now that all the iron mining battalions and cast iron battalions in Middle-earth have been damaged to varying degrees by the "breath of death", regardless of what kind of punishment Tie Qiao will receive from the imperial court for the time being, the plan of casting gold and iron people must have been delayed.
Worse still, now that the big war is poised to begin, what are the enemy's troops, where will they attack, will they be broken one by one, or will they attack with all their might?
The enemy is in the dark, and the continent of Middle-earth is in the light, these are the reasons why everyone is worried about being frightened, and they are on a more disadvantaged side than in the war.
"Of the twelve cast-iron battalions, isn't there one intact?" asked Bingfei.
"There's another ......," Su Xin said happily when he suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, Su Xin moved closer and had entered the hall.
"Plain girl... How do you know? And... I don't think you and Bingfei have a few words... But it feels like you and he are very familiar with each other...... Have you known each other before?" Tie Qiao said very directly but gently, avoiding unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings with this doctor who came from afar to help.
Su Xin didn't respond immediately, just smiled, and glanced at Bingfei coquettishly, looking at Bingfei thrillingly.
Su Xin had heard Bing Fei talk about Tie Qiao's deeds, even if he didn't say it, in order to help Tie Qiao clear his name of stealing the jade seal, Bing Fei would rather lose all his spiritual power cultivation, and did not hesitate to borrow the book "Taixuan Golden Lock Flowing Bead Introduction", this kind of relationship that a clear-eyed person can understand at a glance, how could Su Xin not know?
Su Xin's face is like a soft branch and young leaves, and she said sweetly: "Sister Tie Qiao, I was the doctor who treated Bing Fei after he was injured when he was injured while fighting the mountain demon grandmother in order to help you clear your name, but the two have similar personalities, and they are more connected, so they exchanged a few more words." β
Tie Qiao was furious in his heart and said: "Pitching, communication, and calling me sister in vain? Could it be that Bingfei wants to kill two birds with one stone and let this plain girl be his concubine?"
After Tie Qiao thought about it, he was really a little angry!
However, after thinking about it, no matter what you say, Su Xin came from afar to be a guest, especially when the doctors in Steel Town were helpless against the "Death Gas", she took the initiative to represent the Heaven and Earth Sun and Moon God Cult led by the decent faction, and treated the iron miners and infected people whose lives were hanging by a thread.
This kind of noble medical ethics, which is not afraid of infectious diseases endangering her life, and is still willing to sacrifice her life to control the epidemic, has won the appreciation of most of the townspeople in Steel Town in just a few days, and everyone admires her to the ground, of course, this also includes Tie Qiao, who is sulking at the moment.
Tie Qiao tried to figure out Su Xin's reaction with a smile that was almost no different from a zombie, and he tried to figure out Su Xin's reaction: "Su girl... Are you overthinking...... Our family Bingfei was taken care of by you at that time, and it was really hard..."
Su Xin was stunned and said, "Your family, isn't Bing your family's son-in-law?"
Bing Fei's heart was so excited that he jumped up, and said in a frightened voice: "When did I get into trouble?
Tie Qiao's pretty face rose with a layer of peach blossom-like flush, which was quickly transmitted to the neck behind him, and he said softly and shyly: "I... I made a mistake for a moment...... It's rude..."
Su Xin lowered her eyes as if she was thinking, her smooth delicate face was half ashamed and half happy, coupled with the deep pear, and she couldn't restrain her own Chu Chu Tan's posture, which made Bing Fei fascinated and fell into the bottom of love again.
Bing Fei's face flushed, and he rushed to say, "Tie Qiao... Don't talk nonsense......"
Tie Qiao, who was smoky and slanted his eyebrows, looked at Bing Fei, and found that he would be so unkind for a woman, his cheeks became hotter and hotter, and he said a little squeamishly: "Is it rude to you when you enter my family...... Do you want to ...... I don't want it yet!"
Su Xin pursed his lips and smiled, and the moment the six eyes touched, Bing Fei and Tie Qiao also chuckled, and the three of them seemed to have forgotten that the big war was coming, and they understood that they would temporarily let go of this triangular relationship that might be recalled after old age.
After a burst of laughter, Su Xin stopped laughing and said in a deep voice, "When I heard that the 'Death Gas' was breaking out in Middle-earth, I knew that if the epidemic was not properly handled, it would lead to the serious consequences of large-scale extinction of living beings, so I rushed from the helm to White Horse City. As a result, when he came to White Horse City, it was not like the terrifying news that all the people in the Iron Mining Brigade were seriously ill and could not return to heaven as rumored......"
"After that, how did you know that Steel Town was the source of the disease?" Iron Qiao asked with a shocked look.
Su Xin said blankly: "I inquired around, and I happened to meet a craftsman named Tie Zhichu, who said that the source of the disease was actually from Iron Town, and claimed that White Horse City was lucky to escape the catastrophe, and was not infected much, and could continue to mine iron and cast gold Iron and Steel Man's plan." β
Tie Qiao was shocked and said softly: "Ah! It's Tie Chuchu!"
Bing Fei turned to look at Tie Qiao, seeing her nodding slightly, knowing that she and Tie Zhichu knew each other, but he didn't know that Tie Zhichu was actually Tie Qiao's distant relative.
Bing Fei then looked back at Su Xin and said, "How can you know so much about the 'Death Qi' and find a cure so quickly?"
"Bingfei, let's not hide it, didn't I tell you that my father died of a strange disease?" Su Xin said lightly sadly.
Bingfei gasped and said, "Did you say that? It's not going to be a death breath, is it?"
"That's true, my father was in the breath of death, because he was old, his immunity was too weak, and he left me alone. Su Xin said sadly.
Tie Qiao asked with a solemn expression, "How did your father get the "death qi"?"
Su Xin sighed: "According to my father, many years ago, he received a secret order from the imperial court, asking him to follow a person named Shen Zhaoxin to stop the rebellion in the Seven Cities. β
"Isn't it strange and unreasonable to ask an ordinary doctor to stop the war?" Bing Fei said in amazement.
"I said the same at the time... Daddy said that the imperial court would use a vicious method to suppress the rebellious city people, that is, to use the "death breath" of the subhumans to deal with them, so that they would kill each other, and even exterminate the people and destroy the city. Su Xin said solemnly.
"It doesn't take a single soldier to achieve the goal, and the people in the court are too ruthless...... However, at that time, didn't I, Evelus and other generals also lead troops to settle the dispute?
Su Xin frowned and continued: "According to Dad, the wind direction changed differently at that time, and in order to prevent the national capital Tianyu City from being harmed by the "Death Qi", the plan was canceled halfway, and the imperial court was forced to send troops to quell the chaos. β
"Even if the 'Death Breath' plan is not implemented, what will happen to those who are sick?" Bing Fei asked out of curiosity.
Su Xin's eyes widened and said: "It stands to reason that they should all be executed, even if there are still people alive, it proves that someone deliberately released the mouth alive, and the leader called Shen Zhaoxin may be the most suspicious." β
"So your father taught you how to prevent this contagion?" said Tie Qiao.
After Su Xin pondered for a while, he said with grief: "Dad said that after he got along with Yaren for a while, he found out that he was also accidentally infected. At the beginning, you can also rely on drugs to control the disease, but I didn't expect that once the human body is weak and old, the germs will pervasively erode the human body's blood vessels and various organs. β
Even though he was sad, Tie Qiao couldn't help but be grateful to Dai De and said, "However, the antidote you brought seems to have worked, and the health of some sick migrant workers has gradually improved significantly, isn't it?"
Because of the unforgettable memory of my father's death, after years of painstaking study, I have a better understanding of the "breath of death". As long as you take my special medicine on time, you will definitely get better. Su Xin said confidently.
"I always think it's strange, even if they have been healed, why would those migrant workers who are sick and half dead on the side of the road rather complain than accept the opportunity for treatment?
"Bing Fei, after you mentioned this, I just realized that no matter how lowly your status is, it is impossible to trample on your life like this! It seems that I have to investigate carefully, maybe there is really something hidden inside!" Tie Qiao immediately understood.
Su Xin said: "I just said, could it be related to Shen Zhaoxin, the leader many years ago?"
"I don't dare to speculate on this!" Tie Qiao felt that Su Xin blamed Shen Zhaoxin for his father's death, but he couldn't jump to conclusions.
Bing Fei also foresaw that with the help of the Golden Iron Man, there was still a slight hope of victory in the Middle-earth Continent, so he said with great interest: "Even if the cast iron camp in White Horse City has not been damaged in the slightest, why don't we make a desperate bet and quickly transport all the iron and metal there, and the craftsman called the Iron Beginning will work day and night, and swear to die to create the Golden Iron Man to fight the battle, it may also have a decisive impact on the battle situation!"
Tie Qiao was stunned and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of the distant uncle Tie Zhichu that Miss Su just mentioned? I have to write a secret letter to him quickly..."
Just as Tie Qiao was busy writing letters, while Bing Fei and Su Xin were discussing the best way to treat the patient, they saw Tie Xin helping Evelus to limp into the hall.
Everyone's eyes were on Evelus's haggard and tired countenance, and he should have known more or less that the eight fathers who were traveling with him might have been eaten by the Tyrannosaurus.
The physical wounds may heal themselves with the passage of time, but the deep wounds in Evelus's heart will not heal in a moment.
The pain of the knife after knife is not something that can be easily relieved by the person who has experienced it.
Holding back tears, Evelus stood proudly, and with Tie Xin's assistance, walked slowly towards Bingfei.
Evelus, who was originally decadent, suddenly had a sense of intimacy that he had never felt before when he saw the Yakumo Sword reflecting golden light on the table.
Evelus's face was solemn, and he unconsciously stretched out his right hand to touch the Yakumo Sword, how did he know that the Yakumo Sword trembled slightly, and the strength of the sword qi shook him violently.
Evelus was attacked by a sword aura like a burst of electricity, and his numb right hand was shocked and retracted unconsciously.
Bing Fei saw such a vision and knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was going on.
Evelus blinked his eyes lightly, and unexpectedly began to smile for a long time, and everyone could see that he was eager to try.
He stretched out his trembling right hand again, and his rambling movements made everyone sweat a little cold for him, but they couldn't make any sound.
When the right hand grasped the hilt of the sword and swung upward, the Yakumo Sword thundered, emitting an unprecedented sword light, and the sword light formed eight snake shadows that flew upward, breaking through the tiles and rushing straight into the dark sky, the golden light seemed to swallow the entire land, and the beautiful and moving golden sword gang made everyone even more dumbfounded.
Bing Fei immediately stood up, screaming in secret, still thinking about what happened?
I think that at the beginning, when I used the Yakumo Sword to compete with the Wind Nighthawk for the first time, this Yakumo Sword was really fucking resistant!
Unexpectedly, the first time Evelus held the Excalibur in his hand, he could let it release a power that was as powerful as Si Ling's tempering and shocking power.
What's even more commendable is that from the shining gaze of Evelus, Tie Xin saw the shadow of the world's number one swordsman who was alone and proud of the world once upon a time.
"You...... and the lieutenant general of the sword... What is the relationship?" Bing Fei raised his eyebrows, unable to hide his surprised eyes, and asked a little stunned.
"Jian Yan is the ancestor of our family... What do you call him a lieutenant, as if you knew him well?" asked the calm Evelus, who was puzzled.
Bing Fei didn't say a word, secretly glad that the Yakumo Sword finally had a chance to be returned to the grandson of the deceased......
