Chapter Eighty-Three: Infiltrating the Ten Hopes

What Wei Xicheng dared to say was that he had never had a more tense and exciting or even timid moment than at this time.

After separating from the nine and a half eight feathers, he had been looking for a way out in this misty forest, but when the sunset dissipated, the sense of loss in the entire forest suddenly dissipated, and the sense of crisis suddenly rose, and the sixth sense told Wei Xicheng that something had quietly happened. With the inexplicable feeling in his heart, he moved forward quickly, and quickly walked in the misty forest that seemed to be able to see the way ahead, and when he reached the north of the entire misty forest, an unbelievable scene appeared in front of his eyes: the outskirts of the forest were already firmly besieged by an army, and at this moment Wei Xicheng almost gasped.

If they really found their way out, I'm afraid they would also be captured by this army in an instant, right?

Then, in Wei Xicheng's field of vision, Nine and a Half was carried on the shoulders of a person and walked out of the misty forest like that, and the man walked towards those armies step by step. At this time, the nine and a half were like a dead fish on the shoulder, and they had no ability to resist at all. He seemed to be asleep, or rather fainted.

Many soldiers of the army found him as soon as they saw Zhu Yan carrying a person out of the forest, and then many soldiers neatly packed their bags and said in unison: "Welcome to the general!"

In the uniform voice that shook the sky, Zhu Yan just waved his left hand lightly and said, "Go back to the city." ”

The torrent of steel seems to be hard, but in fact it is like rivers, lakes and seas, absorbing Zhu Yan in an instant, and then surging towards the southwest like flowing water. Wei Xicheng, who was still hiding in the misty forest, watched as the nine halves who seemed to have passed out were carried by the man, and then merged into the uniform army, and then disappeared, cold sweat on his back. Barely wasting any time or daze, he turned and ran wildly towards the center of the Misty Forest. He's going to find Hachiyu, and he's going to tell Hachiyu about it.

And during the whole process, Wei Xicheng's breath did not leak out at all, and he seemed to be quiet as if he had closed his six senses.

Nine and a half were arrested, and this was Wei Xicheng's judgment. Wei Xicheng was in the Half-Saint Realm and was a Grandmaster-level figure who used a sword, and the Nine Halfs were much stronger than him at least in terms of realm, at least the Saint Realm master was not something that a Half-Saint Realm cultivator could match no matter what. Therefore, since that person can single-handedly capture the nine halves, I am afraid that he must at least be a powerhouse of the Holy Realm.

But are the powerhouses of the Holy Realm so common now? Judging from the reactions of those armies just now, I am afraid that this person is a master of the official family. Those soldiers uniformly called him "General", and this person led his troops to the southwest, I am afraid that it is inseparable from the country of mocking winds. Thinking of this, Wei Xicheng's heart couldn't help but sink. The leader of the Land of Mocking Winds, he has long been famous. If that person stepped into the Holy Realm, I'm afraid it would be half ......

Thinking of this, Wei Xicheng's footsteps couldn't help but unconsciously speed up.

"Eight feathers, nine and a half have an accident!" As soon as he got out of the woods, Wei Xicheng opened his mouth and hurriedly said: "He was ......"

"What's wrong with him?" Hearing Wei Xicheng's voice, Ba Yu first stirred up, and then stood up directly as if he was frightened. It didn't matter if she was in a hurry, but Lu Shu, who was lying on her stomach beside her, also stood up directly as if she was frightened, and looked at Wei Xicheng a little nervously.

Wei Xi got out of the woods, saw Bayu, spoke, and then saw Lu Shu a little surprised for a while. Eight Feathers seemed to be a little frightened when he saw Lu Shu beside him, after all, its owner Jiu Ban was not around, and this spirit beast was inevitably a little frightened. She just wanted to step forward to appease, but Wei Xicheng in front of her suddenly took out a jar of old wine from her own stone and threw it back, only to see that Lu Shu was like an old wine worm, and pounced on it with his two front hooves, and hugged the wine jar with his two front hooves, and he didn't look at the eight feathers, so he lay on the ground and drank it slowly.

Seeing Lu Shu's reaction, Ba Yu smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Brother Wei, you go on, what's wrong with him in the ninth half?"

"Nine and a half were captured, and they should be from the Land of Mocking Winds. Seeing Lu Shu hugging the wine jar and hiding to the side, Wei Xicheng stepped forward and said, "I just accidentally saw that Nine Half was taken away, and a group of soldiers in the north of this Misty Forest called the person who took Nine Half a captive 'General Head'. Thinking about it, among the two countries around here, I am afraid that the only one who can have the idea and the ability to kidnap nine and a half is Zhu Yan, the general of the country of mocking winds. ”

After listening to Wei Xicheng's words, Ba Yu couldn't help but become worried and anxious, and she said to Wei Xicheng: "What? is it the head of the mocking wind? Then what should we do next?"

Wei Xicheng gently patted Bayu's shoulder to signal her not to be nervous, and then said, "These are all things to be considered in the long run, don't worry about it first." Anyway, why is Lu Shu here? Is Mr. Tan here too?"

Ba Yu shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Tan is not here, Lu Shu seems to have found this place by himself, and when I lit the fire, I found that it came out of the woods by itself." And Brother Wei, don't you notice that there seems to be some changes here?"

"That's true...... Wei Xicheng looked around him and frowned, "It seems to be ...... I've just returned from the northern realm of the Misty Forest to find you much faster, and it seems that it was only after the Misty Forest's obstruction to people had disappeared that I saw Nine-Half taken away. Could it be ...... Will this misty forest's illusion of people disappear at night?"

Ba Yu seemed to have thought of something, she looked at the two eyebrows on Wei Xicheng's face that were almost twisted into one and said, "It doesn't matter, we can already walk out anyway." But Brother Wei, how are we going to find Jiu Ban now?

As if he was waking up a person in a dream with a word, Wei Xicheng's mind seemed to be turned on by Bayu in an instant. He slapped his head and said with some surprise, "Hey, why didn't I think of this!" Then he turned around and ran towards Lu Shu, and Hachiyu hurriedly followed behind him.

Not far behind him, Lu Shu hugged the wine jar that had almost reached the bottom, revealing a slightly reddened drunkard face. A drunk Lu Shu is almost no different from a drunk, but at this moment it is only slightly drunk, after all, a jar of old wine can't help it, otherwise how can it be regarded as a drunkard? At this time, seeing Wei Xicheng and Bayu coming, it instinctively felt that these two humans should have something to ask for it. Afraid of trouble, it immediately turned around with the wine jar in its arms, but Wei Xi turned to it at a faster speed and said:

"Lushu, we need your help. ”

Lu Shu didn't speak, it immediately turned its face to the other side, but then the pitiful little face of Eight Feathers appeared on the other side, and she said to it:

"Lu Shu, we are looking for nine and a half, you can help. ”

On one side was Wei Xicheng, who had just given him a jar of old wine, and on the other side was Chu Chu's poor eight feathers, which made Lu Shu a little powerless to arrive. This is basically equivalent to handing you a carrot and a stick at the same time, but it is not a donkey, how can this make it easily succumb?

"How about helping us find nine and a half, a jar of sixty-year-old wine?"

Lu Shu enjoyed the rubbing of the eight feathers and was indifferent.

"Two altars, okay?"

Lu Shu's ears moved slightly, but he still didn't turn his face away. Although the movement on the ears is extremely subtle, it is still caught by Hachiyu. She kept moving her hands and increased the intensity of rubbing Lu Shu's chin, and quietly gave Wei Xicheng a look. Then, Wei Xicheng hurriedly cleared his throat and pretended to be in pain, and said:

"Then add an altar of eighty years, it's all right?"

Lu Shu's ears still couldn't help but fan after all, and then turned away.

The country of mocking winds, the capital of Shiwang, is known as the most "near-immortal city" among the nine countries.

Good at magic and fond of spiritual cultivation, this city has a huge number of warlocks, and the people of the Mocking Wind Country, who like luxury and beautiful things and are good at controlling spirit beasts, have made captive spirit beasts one of the popular trends in Shiwang City. Pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, among which there are occasional spirit beasts galloping and common warlocks taking off in the air, and the people of the Mocking Wind Country like treasures and beautiful things, which makes the scene here seem to be a fairy holy land, which is extraordinary.

In the center of Shiwang City is the Imperial City of Mocking Wind, and this scene is even worse.

And the ninth half is to wake up in the imperial city.

His sobriety seemed to be unforeshadowing, and he was unfazed. At that moment, it was like waking up from a long sleep, and it seemed like it was just a nap adjustment. Perhaps, it is just the waves after countless sleeps and awakenings.

So, when he awoke from the large bed, which was a foot long, and found that he was covered with a quilt made of tiger skin, and that the furniture in the whole room seemed to be made of hundred-year-old ebony, he felt that this room, which was not made of gold, but seemed to smell like money, did not say anything.

Directly opposite the nine-and-a-half, on a table by the window not far away, there was a man sitting quietly drinking tea. He drank the tea very lightly, and it was orderly again and again, as if he was afraid of waking up the nine-and-a-half. Looking up, the sunlight leaked in through the window and hit the man's face, as if he had seen some kind of mutton fat and jade. But immediately he reflected, this person was by no means a mutton fat and beautiful jade, but his enemy, the head of the country of mocking wind.

"Awake?" Zhu Yan didn't raise his eyes or turn his head, just quietly sipping the cup of tea in his hand and said. He didn't speak, but in fact many times some people don't need to say anything to make a big impact on others. Some of these impacts are visual, some are mental, and so on. And at this moment, Zhu Yan was just drinking tea there, and Jiuhan was stunned as a man for a while. There is such a stunner in the world? I am so glad that your appearance is enough to like me for many years.

Suddenly, he woke up, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on his neck. I'm a man! Since I'm a man, how can I be tempted by a man? This Zhu Yan can't be good at the art of seduction. Thinking of this, Jiu Ban shook his head violently, and said, "Why am I here?"

"Of course I brought you here. Zhu Yan turned his head, his hair flowing, and the sunlight passed through it mottled on the ground, as if it also had some wonderful smell.

"So, I'm a captive now, right?" Nine and a half sneered as he vigilantly surveyed his surroundings. Although he was brought here after being knocked unconscious by Zhu Yan, according to the environment, this does not seem to be a prison cell, as if it is Zhu Yan's home. The rooms are bright and transparent, with large windows facing north and south, and plenty of sunlight. There is a screen at the doorway that separates the intimate space. There is a bed and a wardrobe in this room, a table, chairs and a tea set, which is probably Zhu Yan's own room.

But is this necessary? Zhu Yan is the general of the country of mocking winds, and the former commander of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and it stands to reason that he is the commander of the country that destroys his own burden, and he is his great enemy of life and death. Who has ever seen a man who has taken his mortal enemy into his room and imprisoned him?

It seemed that he also felt the doubts of the nine and a half, and Zhu Yan smiled and said: "This is not another place, it is the imperial palace of the country of mocking winds." You may wonder why I have brought you here instead of directly to my king, for the simple reason that I have something to say to you. You're probably the enemy of the entire Mocking Wind Nation, and of course, you're probably the one the one the Jairian Nation really wants to kill. But as the saying goes, 'the most dangerous place is the safest', so my king gave me such a small three-story building in his palace, so that you and I have the opportunity to say a word or two in this most dangerous place. ”

Hearing this, Jiu Ban was even more confused, after you broke my country, you caught me, the prince of the dead country, but you didn't kill me, but you were interested in talking to me? Then you are friends with tigers and rabbits, can you support yourself when you are full? But although there are many complicated emotions in his heart, Jiu Ban did not show it after all, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he sat on the bed and said slowly: "So you want to tell me that you are a chaotic minister and thief, the second minister." You who once led troops to break through the country of the negative are now in a high position above ten thousand people under one person, and you feel very lonely, so you want to unite with me, the prince of the dead country, to do something unspeakable? Okay, then tell me, are you in love with the wife of the king of the mocking wind, or his daughter?"

"Nine and a half of the soldiers who can retreat from a country alone, this mouth is really worthy of its name. Looking at Jiuban's angry face, the smile on Zhu Yan's face became more and more obvious. "But what if I say that I don't like war and have no interest in conquering cities, and that I only want to ask you to try to stop the war on this continent, and that I can help you privately?"

"Oh, what's wrong with this world, the tiger is starting to be a vegetarian?"

"Not really. Hearing Jiu Ban's answer, the smile on Zhu Yan's face gradually disappeared and gradually turned solemn, and his attitude began to become serious. "As the folk rumors say, my military legal attainments are indeed much beyond ordinary people, but in fact those are not what I want to do. To put it bluntly, conquering cities and conquering the world is nothing more than fighting for the king, and what does the land that has been encroached upon have to do with me? Even if it becomes my fiefdom, war must die, and I don't want anyone in this world to die for unnecessary reasons. I hate war. ”

Zhu Yan's words reached Jiuban's ears, and he was stunned, and then felt ridiculous. "You hate war?" the sneer on Nine-Half's face became more pronounced, and the fire of hatred burned from his eyes to his mouth. "Why don't you say this to the monarch of the country who mocks the wind, why don't you say it to your army, why don't you go and talk to the thousands of people who have died under the iron blade of the three kingdoms under your mocking wind and eyelash kiss!" As he spoke, nine and a half of his anger rose to the sky, and his voice became louder and louder, like thunder. "You hate war, but you don't refuse power, do you? You don't want to kill, but you enjoy the feeling of being a general and a man above ten thousand. So, so you can send your army to slaughter innocent people in another country, right? Yes, yes, you are not the knife that kills, but your hand holding the handle of the knife is more hateful, more cruel, and deserves to fall into samsara and never be resurrected!"

The anger that had been pent up for a long time, the resentment that had been suffocated in the chest for many days was now erupting, as strong and turbulent as a volcanic eruption. He seems to be the embodiment of thousands of people who have died in vain, the embodiment of a destroyed nation, the sickle of madness and the axe of vengeance, a mad man. The madness of the nine and a half continuously hit Zhu Yan's face, and the smile and seriousness on that face gradually melted and drooped, and then turned into compassion and sadness.

"The king let the minister die, and the minister has to die......"

As if he wanted to say something, Zhu Yan finally left only such a sentence in the room, and his eyes deliberately escaped from the nine halves and wandered around.
