"It is said that the battle of Cangyang was a tragedy, the blood flowed like a river, the corpses piled up like a mountain, even a cultivator lost his life in the blink of an eye, we are 500,000 hot-blooded men in the twilight, buried in a foreign country, one of the eight dragon generals, the straining general, not also died here. ”

In a small teahouse, the storyteller's eyebrows flutter, depicting a great war seventeen years ago, crowded with sturdy men who were so engrossed that they forgot all the good wine on the table.

At this time, the broken wooden door of the teahouse was pushed open, making a tooth-sour sound, and a young man with clear lines and a cold eyebrow stood at the door, looking around the teahouse with deep black eyes, and did not speak, but found a corner to sit quietly, and came in with him, and there was a child who was looking around, very curious.

The sharp-eyed guy saw the visitor, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of enthusiastic smiles, and he hurriedly leaned over and greeted: "The two young masters are here to enjoy the light again, what do you want this time?"

"I want wine, the wine from last time. Seeing the man, the child shouted excitedly, and the childish voice overshadowed the storyteller, which seemed very harsh in the already quiet teahouse.

The storyteller lost his mind, and the big men in the room also set their eyes on that corner.

The young man didn't seem to notice all this, just frowned, and said, "What kind of wine do children drink, come with five steamed buns, two plates of pickles, and cut some beef, and let's drink water." ”

"Okay, okay. The man hurriedly answered, and then did not dare to look at the child who was pouting because of dissatisfaction, and left in a hurry.

"I say this paragraph every day, and it's not boring to listen to. The young man looked at the storyteller, his voice hoarse, and faintly impatient.

The storyteller didn't say anything, just embarrassed "hehe" twice, and the big men in the room also laughed along, and the atmosphere was very strange.

The reason for the weirdness is, of course, because there is weirdness in it.

This place is called Shuanglian Town, located in the Sunset Empire, Zhenzhou borders the abandoned land Cangyang, is an important border defense place of the empire, there is one of the eight dragon generals of the empire, General Mo Lin sits, and Shuanglian Town is the forefront of the battle against the Cangyang Liukou rebel army. For more than a decade, the people living here were so disturbed that most of them moved out of the area, and with the arrival of more and more Sunset troops, Shuanglian Town was also built into a military fortress. The strong men in this teahouse are naturally the imperial soldiers who stick to this place.

And this young man, in the middle of last month, was transferred here by the Sunset Army, with the rank of centurion. When the young man first arrived, naturally no one bought it, the strong in the army were respected, this young man had fine skin and tender meat, everyone estimated that he was the heir of a broken family, who was exiled here and sent to death, until the moment when the young man stepped into the battlefield, people knew that there was a killing god in Shuanglian Town.

In just half a month, none of the invading rogue rebels survived, including even a few cultivators, whose deaths were so tragic that even these veterans who had been fighting on the battlefield all year round could not bear to look at them directly.

The young man looked at the man in the room again, and said, "What are you smiling at, you should eat, you should drink, you will gather on the official road outside the town at noon, there is a task." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a voice of grievance.

A big man at the adjacent table came over and asked cautiously, "My lord, I've only been resting for a few days, how can there be something going on again?" ”

"The mayor's daughter eloped with a man last night, and it turned out that the man was a rogue from Yaque Ridge, and this morning he sent a message saying that he wanted fifty taels of gold to ransom him. ”

The middle-aged man's face was very ugly, and he said in a low voice: "Yaque Ridge, you can't enter Cangyang." ”

"What about entering Cangyang, only the bandit army is allowed to come to us every once in a while to fight the grass valley, and we are not allowed to go over and slaughter two people to stand up. ”

The middle-aged man wanted to say something more, but swallowed the words into his stomach, in front of this person, it is better not to complain too much.

Soon, the steaming white-flour steamed buns were served with side dishes and a large plate of beef, and the young man ignored the crowd and picked up the steamed buns and swallowed them in a big gulp. The time to eat in the army is very tight, in order to replenish physical strength, you must eat the food as soon as possible, the young man eats quickly, but there is no panic, this scene is always seen by people, it will make people sigh that the young man seems to be a natural soldier.

After a short time, the young man had already eaten three steamed buns, a plate of pickles and most of the beef, and he looked at the child in front of him who was frowning at the rest of the food, and his already cold face was even deeper.

"The food is not delicious, and when you go to the battlefield in the future, you don't have the strength to fight, and the first one will be poked into a hole. ”

The child listened to the young man's words, made a grimace and said, "Isn't there a senior brother to protect me, how can the senior brother be willing to let me be poked into a hole." ”

The boy didn't answer, got up on his own, put some broken silver on the table, and walked out of the teahouse.

The moment the boy walked out of the teahouse, all the men finished eating what was in front of them, got up, and followed with serious expressions.

The child looked at the people leaving, pouted, and took chopsticks to poke holes one after another in the steamed bun, while cursing: "You have to be poked into holes, poked to death, poked to death ...... you"

The noon sky was gray and a little gloomy, and on the official road outside the town, a team of more than 100 people was ready to go, and the young man who was covered in black armor rubbed the extremely long war halberd in his hand, the halberd was dull, and the eyes like the abyss of the young man made people palpitate.

The adjutant, who had been standing behind the boy, counted the number of people, took two steps forward, and reported, "Lord Eternal Night, the brothers have arrived. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"Your junior brother hasn't arrived yet. ”

"Don't wait for him, let's go. The boy named Eternal Night said without hesitation.

"Are we leaving? We still have the ransom with us, and the mayor hasn't come yet. ”

"The ransom is gone, we are here to kill, not to save people. ”

"But that's the mayor's daughter..."

"Such a stupid woman, even if she dies, she will save some trouble. Yongye raised his eyes to look at the adjutant and said coldly, "You have a lot of words today. ”

The adjutant's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to say more, thinking that it was a pity for the mayor's daughter to be a water spirit, and his young chief didn't mean to pity the jade at all.

Yaque Ridge is about more than 100 miles away from Shuanglian Town, because it is located in Cangyang, so there are a large number of bandits entrenched in the horses, the border guards of the twilight have carried out several large-scale clearances here, but they have little effect, those bandits are like weeds, after a period of silence, they begin to make waves, and over time, the border guards have no intention of wasting their strength here.

Without saying anything all the way, he crossed the border of sunset and set foot on the land of Cangyang, and everyone's hearts were hanging, from here on, it was necessary to raise the spirit of twelve, and if he was not careful, he was likely to lose his life.

The border of Cangyang was very desolate, the roads were bare on both sides, the bark of the few old trees around them had been stripped of their bark, and in the distance there were many hungry people in ragged clothes wandering the road, looking for anything to satisfy their hunger. Some of them were digging up the few grass roots on the ground, and some were even competing with wild dogs for food, and two or three of them looked up at the passing procession, their expressions empty and numb.

"Hey. The adjutant on the side looked at the tragic scene in front of him and sighed.

Eternal Night walked at the front of the line and said calmly, "Forsaken Land, that's what it looks like. ”

"My lord, you are still young, the original Cangyang is not like this, I still remember when 'Huiyao' was still there......"

"You're crazy, you can say these things. A veteran behind the adjutant hurriedly stopped.

"What can't be said, it's probably not that the ruler of this land was uprooted back then, so now the dragons are leaderless, chaotic and disorderly, and those who take advantage of the chaos only care about their own pleasures, but not the people. It's not like the book says that dogs eat people without knowing how to check them, and they don't know how to eat them with hunger, that's the case. "Eternal Night speaks unhurriedly, as if he is talking about something that has nothing to do with him.

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and said admiringly: "I didn't expect that adults still understand the things in those ancient books." ”

Yongye was silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't read much, but I know a guy who likes to talk about these things, like a fly annoying to death." ”

The adjutant looked at Eternal Night in some surprise, and then opened his mouth wide as if he had seen a ghost, for he saw that Eternal Night had a rare smile on his face when he said this. The adjutant rubbed his nose and wondered if that fly-like creature was lucky or unlucky.

The smile on Yongye's face flashed, and the forest in front of him was the Crowbird Ridge, and after entering the forest, the already gloomy sky became even darker. Every few steps in the woods, there was a tree with a crooked neck with a dead man hanging from it, and there was no end in sight. The corpses were decomposed to varying degrees, attracting a large number of crows to inhabit them, and the stench of decay made everyone frown.

"Come to pick up people, it's still such a big stance, did you bring the gold?" The voice sounded, and a bloody man appeared in front of Yongye. At the same time, the number of people who came out of the black pressure in the forest was several times more than that of the Eternal Night, and it was faintly surrounded. The man looked at the eternal night with a hint of banter in his eyes, and the two behind him were holding a woman who was sobbing in a low voice, the woman was covered in mud, but on closer inspection, she was quite beautiful, presumably the mayor's daughter.

In such a battle, everyone knows that even if the gold is handed over, I am afraid that it will not be easy to get out today. But Eternal Night did not speak, so everyone stood silently, not even revealing their weapons.

Yongye met the man's gaze and said calmly, "Give me people, and you must all stay." ”

The man looked at Yongye in astonishment, and then laughed, and the people around him also burst into laughter, as if they had heard a big joke, "Little hairy boy, you are stupid, we have five hundred people here, who are you pretending to scare?" ”

Instead of looking at the man again, Eternal Night lifted the halberd in his hand.

In an instant, people seemed to hear the neighing of thousands of horses galloping on the grassland, and seemed to hear the legendary primeval dragon roaring, and the explosion between heaven and earth shook the air.

However, all this did not end, the man's skin began to turn red, black smoke came out of his body, there seemed to be a flame in his body, burning the internal organs, the pungent smell filled the woods, just for a moment, the man was like a deflated ball of skin shriveled down, into a charred black human skin.

Crows, crows are silent.

Eternal Night turned around, his dark eyes turning an eerie purple, and he spoke to the team standing behind him, his tone still unwavering.

"Formation, killing. ”
