In early summer, Da Xi Wenhuan, the lord of Luzhou City, took his favorite concubine and sailed alone on a painting boat and boated on the river. The blue waves are surging and the river is kind, the beauty is beautiful, and the soul of the lord of Daxi City, who only sees it at the end of the day, is gone.

At night, the two of them slept in the Daxi Courtyard at the highest point on Jiangxin Island, and after being full of wine and food, they rained several times until they were paralyzed and unable to fight again, and then the two hugged each other shirtless and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Da Xi Wenhuan was awakened by a low roar and a faint tremor from the ground. took off a pair of jade arms that hugged the concubine tightly around her neck, put on her coat, and walked out of the courtyard gate to look.

It was still late at night, the moon was sparse, and it was still dark from the outside of the courtyard in the distance, but the low roar was becoming more and more obvious. I had just adapted to the glimmering environment, but I saw a black shadow flash from the shore and run towards the distance. If you look closely, the black shadow is nothing else, it is the painting boat you ride in the daytime!

Looking at the shore again, there seemed to be a figure in the water, but it was the culprit who sent the painting boat away. Da Xi was furious when he heard this, and he soared into the air like a giant eagle, slashing across the night sky, and made a palm print towards the figure!

The figure seemed to be aware of it and was about to hide in the water, but Da Xi Wenhuan was a master in the late stage of his ascension, how could his angry palm be so easy to dodge!?

With a solid palm, the figure fell into the water and disappeared in an instant.

Da Xi was full of spirits when he heard this, and glanced sideways at the source of the roar next to him.

Sweep down, shocked!

He quickly turned around and galloped towards the courtyard, shouting as he ran: "Zhu'er, get up quickly!"

......

In the past few days, several news has spread in Luzhou City.

The first, naturally, Jiangxin Island on the big river between Luchuan County and Jiangyang County disappeared without a trace overnight. The first to notice this sensational news were a few fishermen who got up early in the morning to catch fish.

At first, they thought it was because they hadn't woken up, but the fishing boat paddled all the way to the center of the river, but they didn't even see the shadow of an island. The island, which was four miles wide and more than ten miles long, disappeared from people's sight as if it had never existed.

Regarding the disappearance of Jiangxin Island, various theories in Luzhou City have been raised.

Some people say that it was the magnates on the island who broke the feng shui of Jiangxin Island when they were digging ice cellars in the manor, which angered the river god, so they sent down divine punishment and sank the entire island to the bottom of the river;

Some people say that it was the gods of the South China Sea who fell in love with Jiangxin Island, so they used their great magical powers overnight to uproot the entire island and move it to the South China Sea;

Some people also say that the island itself is a 10,000-year-old turtle, 100,000 years ago this turtle in the river to make waves and poison the creatures, and later was recovered by the gods, punished it to become an island to guard the river. Now that the time had come and the mana was lifted, the turtle left on its own.

Each of these arguments has its own supporters among the people, but there are also some things that do not make sense. For more than a month, street vendors, pawns, vegetable sellers, aunts, old men walking birds, and countless others argued endlessly about this.

In the end, no one could convince anyone, but everyone reached a consensus, that is, this thing was done by the gods. Because in the eyes of everyone, this kind of thing is simply beyond the reach of human beings.

However, there are no gods in this world.

Although the news of Jiangxin Island's disappearance overnight was shocking enough, after all, no one witnessed the process with their own eyes, so after talking about it for more than a month, it gradually faded away. Later, an envoy from Kyoto made a special trip to investigate, but nothing else was gained except for a thick book of ghost stories. The investigative report, full of stories, was later printed by booksellers, and it is said that it sold well.

Compared with the first news, although the second news also challenges the imagination of the people, there are many more people who have seen it with their own eyes, and the news itself has a touch of charm, so its spread even overwhelms the above news.

That night, Zheng Dabao, the garrison of Luchuan County, got up to pee, and a column of water went straight to the bottom of the city wall like a waterfall. At this time, he heard a faint curse coming from below. Zheng Dabao lifted his pants and looked through the moonlight, and there was a figure climbing up the city wall!

Zheng Dabao was so frightened that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born, so he took out a warning signal flare from his arms and pulled it away directly. The huge red fireworks with a sharp sound of breaking the air illuminated most of Luchuan County, and even Jiangyang County on the other side of the river could be seen clearly.

The early warning signal of Luzhou City Defense is divided into three levels: yellow, orange and red, of which red is the highest. Seeing the red alert, all the officers and men of the army, from the lowest-ranking soldiers to the chief and deputy generals of the county guard, must rush to the city wall within a quarter of an hour to stand by, otherwise it will be a delay in the military aircraft and should be dealt with according to military law.

Countless torches lit up the entire city wall as if it were daylight. Countless sergeants stretched out their bows and arrows, looking for the invading enemy, and more than a dozen crossbows defending the city were also pushed out, pointing in the direction of the river.

When the general learned that the cause of such a movement was only a figure on the city wall, he was so angry that he almost kicked Zheng Dabao off the city wall! And the figure on the city wall seemed to be frightened by this formation, and actually lay on the city wall motionless.

As the first city after the river passed through the Morikawa Gorge, Luzhou City was once a battleground for the soldiers of the human and demon clans, so its city walls were built extremely majestic. The thickness of the bottom of the city wall is more than five zhang, and the average height can reach six or seven zhang.

However, in tens of thousands of years of repeated battles and countless siege battles, these majestic city walls were baptized again and again by siege cannons and catapults, and the upper part of the city wall was almost completely flattened, leaving only a base of less than three zhang. Since then, perhaps both the human and demon clans feel that the amount of work to rebuild the city wall is too large and the benefits are limited, so no matter who Luzhou City falls into, only this half of the city wall is barely supported, and it has never been repaired.

Thousands of years ago, the Demon Emperor Huilong was besieged and killed by Shi Xuanlai, the first city lord of Yunqi City, who was the Marshal of Great Qin and known as the "first fortified city in the world", and a small number of remnants fled into the sea of sand in the Burial Goose Desert, and there was no trace of them since. The demon clan disappeared, and the biggest threat faced by the defenders of Luzhou City was nothing more than the wandering river bandits, and there was no need to repair the city wall.

However, in the past 100 years, due to the increasing commercial prosperity of Luzhou City, the population of the city has grown rapidly, and the number of idlers wandering in the city has also increased. These people have neither land nor capital to do business, but only have the strength of a single arm, in groups of three or five, in groups of seven or eight, stealing chickens and dogs in the city, extorting money, and doing some unseemly underground deeds, so that the merchants and the people in the city who come here are overwhelmed.

Therefore, 90 years ago, the then city lord Da Xi Puxuan decided to recruit young and strong people to rebuild the city wall of Luzhou City to reduce the pressure of daily management in the city. However, due to limited funds and no real threat to Luzhou City, the thickness of the newly built upper part of the city wall is much thinner than the original lower half of the city wall, only about one and a half zhang.

This has formed the wonder of the city walls on both sides of Luzhou City that are half new and half old, half thin and half thick, and the outside of the city wall, at the junction of the upper and lower parts, can accommodate one person to barely settle down - at this moment, the figure is standing here, not up, not down.

Under the threat of countless strong bows and crossbows, the figure could not continue to climb the upper half of the city wall more than two zhang high, and there seemed to be something behind him—it can be seen that this person's martial arts cultivation is really extraordinary. Thinking of this, Zheng Dabao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As soon as the man reached the city wall, he was pointed at all parts of his body by countless bright spears and spears, even if he had three heads and six arms, but he did not dare to move again.

If you look closely, this person is about forty or fifty years old, with a national face, not angry and arrogant, and there is a trace of suppressed anger and indescribable embarrassment in his cold expression. He was half-naked, revealing a tight muscle, and wearing only a pair of wet pajama pants on his lower body, which were tightly clinging to his legs.

Behind him, there was a young woman with a bumpy figure on his back! The woman had long hair and waist, and a pretty face was buried deep behind the middle-aged man, and she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but she knew that she looked extremely beautiful from the side of her face.

She was unclothed, wrapped in a moon-white sheet, the corners of which were knotted in the man's chest.

The flawless skin is as white as the most precious porcelain, but I don't know whether it is due to shyness, nervousness or the light of the torch, it shows a magnificent pale red. A pair of jade arms were wrapped around the man's neck, a pair of white jade legs wrapped around his waist like a water snake, and ten small and delicate toes were tightly curled.

The moon-white sheet was equally wet, almost transparent, and the woman's delicate body, a pair of breasts like flattened dough, and full buttocks like peaches were clearly visible in the light of the countless torches around them and the firelight reflected from the tips of the spears!

At this moment, there were almost no old and weak soldiers in the city, all of them were young, strong, and strong-blooded young men, who had never seen such a beautiful scene! Although the man and woman were motionless, the tip of the spear seemed to inadvertently slash over the white sheets, leaving a few holes. In a short time, the translucent sheet was full of holes and was about to break!

At this moment, the general of the county guard and the two lieutenants finally arrived in front of the man, pushing aside the crowd and spears. He was about to ask about the uninvited guest's intentions and what the conspiracy was, but his eyes suddenly stopped on the familiar face of the Chinese character, and the thousand words in his stomach only turned into one sentence: "City Lord!?"
