September 5, 564 in the Heruman calendar

The royal city of Ligas

The night on the outskirts of the city is as cool as water, the dense black clouds cover the bright moon, and the four fields are silent, only the evening breeze in the mountains, caressing the branches, making the friction sound of "sand, sand", adding to the tranquility.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the night and galloped. A black horse, like a ghost in the night, galloped forward almost without a point, the speed was so fast, it was a good horse for a thousand miles. A woman on horseback, with superb riding skills, with the love of horses.

Black silk-like hair, fluttering in the wind, jewel-like pupils, white pearl-like skin, even at night when visibility is extremely low, does not hide its amazing peerless elegance, cedar-like straight body, majestic military uniform, as if it is Athena's reappearance. The wind whistled behind her ears, and the scenery on both sides kept regressing, and her thoughts surged, remembering what had been an hour ago that made her unforgettable.

Several screams pierced the quiet night sky, "What's wrong?" she rolled up from her bed, only to see a fiery red outside the west window, lighting up the entire sky, apparently a fire. In the atmosphere, the strong military spirit stimulated the skin, coupled with the increasingly strong weapons and the sound of soldiers killing. She immediately understood what had happened.

The speculative facts were immediately confirmed, the door was pushed open, and the father appeared at the door, dressed in military uniform, and the blood on the golden armor explained the king's process of getting here.

"Father, what the hell are you doing?"

"There were some subordinates who caused a mutiny. The king gasped. He is no longer young, and this sudden coup d'état has unpredictable results, and in order to leave a way out, he must be prepared.

"Hong'er, I am the king, for the honor of the royal family of the East, I can't leave, you should flee to a neighboring country!"

"No, Hong'er wants to live and die with her father!"

He gently held his daughter in his arms, and said lovingly but resolutely: "No, you must not break the incense." Take the king's treasure, the true dragon sword, and flee to a neighboring country!"

"If you want to go, let's go together, my daughter is willing to protect her father and fight his way out of the siege. ”

"I've made up my mind. It is not a pity to die, but if the orthodox royal family cannot inherit it, even if he dies, he will not be able to see his ancestors and ancestors underground, and Dongfang Zheng will become a sinner through the ages. Among the emperors, your martial arts are the highest, and the rise and fall of the Eastern royal family in the future will all depend on you. ”

As if fulfilling the last father's obligation, he kissed his daughter lightly on the forehead, and Dongfang was striding out, pulling out the sword at his waist, and never looking back.

There are tears in Dongfanghong's eyes, and the heroic back of his father at the time of parting is still in front of him, and in this life and this life, I don't know if there is still a period of meeting.

"Father, you..please take care.." Despite the pain in his heart, Dongfanghong didn't dare to look back, looking at the palace that grew up in Si and now changed overnight, and silently prayed for his father.

"Found it, someone wants to break through the encirclement!"

"It's the princess, don't let her run. ”

"The commander-in-chief has an order, and whoever captures the princess will be rewarded with 100,000 taels and sealed 10,000 households. ”

At the end of the originally dark road, it was suddenly as bright as day, more than a dozen Kong Ming lanterns rose high, and hundreds of pine resin torches were lit together, revealing an iron bucket-like interception net.

"It's finally here!" Dongfang Hong was not naïve enough to think that he could leave Yanjing without hindrance, since the rebels dared to launch a coup d'état, they must have blocked all the surrounding roads in advance.

However, knowing this situation, Dongfang Hong did not escape from the hidden mountain path, but forcibly broke through from the most important national road, which is of course to maintain the bearing of the king, on the other hand, it is also because the master of the art is bold and has absolute confidence in his sword skills.

"Kill!" Several snipers raised their knives from the trees and cut down, with the momentum, the momentum was terrifying, seeing that they were about to be hit, Dongfanghong still had no reaction, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was his last thought, the True Dragon Sword, which was still in its sheath, turned into a crimson and fierce light, and instantly beheaded it.

"If you still want to go home to see your parents and lover, don't come. Don't die unjustly under the sword of the East. After speaking, Hao's wrist gently pulled the reins, and the man and horse turned into a light smoke, and rushed towards the enemy line with an extremely graceful posture but incredible speed.

"When she enters the firing range, the archers will immediately release the arrows!" Seeing the momentum of the other party, the officer in charge of the gate dared to be lazy and gave an order.

"Let your martial arts be at the top, hundreds of arrows will shoot at the head, and you will be injured and fall off the horse. "He has that confidence.

"Chief, I heard that the eldest princess's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, do you think we are safe?" The adjutant beside him was not very relieved about his situation.

"Rest assured, we are deep in the formation, as steady as Mount Tai, and there is absolutely no danger. ”

The little soldier who was on the side of the human wall sighed sadly when he heard this: "Then we are doomed." ”

"Shoot the arrows!" With an order, the sound of breaking wind sounded continuously, and arrows rained down in the air. If you are shot, you will definitely become a thorn in the spot.

It's a pity that the sea water can't fight, and the summer insects can't talk about ice, this idea is too far from the actual situation, a very fine red mang, from Dongfang Hong's wrist bloomed, and then turned into a little light rain, the sharp innate sword qi, under the cover of the sky, all the snipers in ambush were killed, and then the arrows were picked up and rushed into the encirclement network.

Most of the archers were frightened by the light and rain, and stood on the spot, and before an arrow could be fired, they were already in a different place. Finally, Dongfang Hong was unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately, and there was still room for his subordinates, but there were still many people, and as soon as they saw their faces, they were shocked by the innate sword qi and broke their hearts.

The red sword of the Oriental royal family, for the former Emperor Taizu, relied on the immortal magic of sweeping Kyushu, the end is extremely powerful, but it is a pity that the time is long, several times lost, but Dongfang Hong with extraordinary talent, make up for the lack of the remnant, so that it can see the sky again, although it is not complete, but it is not ordinary people can resist, everyone only felt a blazing energy attack on the body, and then the red said that the strength invaded the veins, and the soul returned to hate the sky. Dongfang Zhenghui chose his daughter to break through, which is really his reason.

Thousands of miles of good horses with world-beating skills, Dongfang Hong reappeared in the world like a Valkyrie in the sky, and in the tea room, she had already broken through the nine-fold encirclement network and was about to leave the Yanjing realm.

"Traitor..ah.." A miserable cry sounded from behind, however, it was immediately muffled by the sound of weapons fighting.

Dongfang Hong listened to the sound and knew that it was the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, with cold pupils. was shocked, and said secretly: "Tong'er is my best friend, and I shouldn't save it." ”

Thinking of this, Dongfang Hong turned his horse's head, only to see seven or eight wounds on Leng Tong's body, facing six tough hands, it was imminent. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, and the red said true strength walked at will, destroying and decaying, and slashed six enemies under the horse in one fell swoop.

After the cold pupil was fighting, his strength was exhausted, and when he could see the shadow in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but have a mixture of joy and sorrow, and cried: "Princess, Hitomi is incompetent, unable to protect Your Majesty, the rebellious army has broken through the inner city, and everyone is afraid that it will be more auspicious." ”

Although he had been prepared in his heart, when he heard the bad news, Dongfanghong still couldn't help but be stunned, thinking of his parents and relatives, and he felt that he was full of sorrow and had nowhere to go. Under the indignation, there was a long howl, only to shake the surrounding leaves flying all over the sky, and a flock of birds flew one after another.

The mood eased slightly, and I saw Leng Tong staggering on the horse, and suddenly woke up, "She is seriously injured and can't bear the impact of the whistle." ”

"Hitomi, are you okay?" said as he injected his true qi into Leng Pupil's body to help him heal.

"Thank you, Princess, for saving me. This time, it was you who saved Hitomi's life. ”

"Don't speak, I'll stop the bleeding for you. Dongfang Hong said: "If I don't even save my friends who grew up together, can I still be considered a human being?"

The cold pupils who escaped death, panting violently on horseback, the towering chest kept rising and falling, fascinating, although she was covered in blood, but her appearance was still pretty and moving, although it was not as amazing as Dongfang Hong's stunning city, but it was heroic and refreshed, and there was another flavor.

Dongfang Hong had luck in his hands, but he recalled that day many years ago in his mind.

At that time, she was only six years old, and when she returned to the palace from a trip, she saw a group of people in ragged clothes and shackles, and they were rushed to the court. It turned out that the family collided with the Son of Heaven's car and was sentenced to be beheaded all over the house. Although Dongfang Hong is young, he is already chivalrous, and after learning the truth, he was filled with indignation and rushed to the East Gate Execution Ground, but unfortunately he was one step late, and there was only a five-year-old girl left in his family.

Dongfanghong didn't shout to keep people under the knife, and when the knife and axe hand stood for her amazing beauty and courage, he walked up to the girl, stretched out his little hand, and said with a smile: "Come, come with me!"

This matter was passed on to the people of the capital as a beautiful talk, although Dongfang Zheng was angry, but he loved his daughter, so he had to get it. Later, the girl became the princess's companion, studied literature and martial arts together, and was promoted by Dongfanghong to make an exception and become the commander of the Praetorian Guard.

For Dongfang Hong, Leng Tong is not a guard, but sharing sorrow and joy together, talking from the bottom of his heart together, the only trusted best friend in the deep palace. In Leng Tong's memory, the smile like the early sun and the little hand that pulled it out of the abyss are also a page that he will never forget. All kinds of karma pulled the two girls together, of course, at that time, they couldn't imagine the future development.

At this point, a great change occurred.

"Whoa!" several spears burst out of the ground, stabbing the black horse to death, and at the same time a barrage of arrows came again from all directions. Dongfang Hong reacted very quickly, suppressed his grief, stretched his jade arm lightly, hugged Leng Pupil with one hand, lightly touched his left foot, twisted his waist slightly, and his delicate body rose into the sky lightly, and at the same time, he was clever and skillful, and shot the arrow group downward, annihilating the sniper in one fell swoop.

Dongfanghong has a lot of experience in facing the enemy, even if the enemy suddenly attacks her, she can't be injured, but she didn't expect the other party to have a good vision, so he abandoned people and killed horses. This "night star" was a gift from the tribute of the Tiran Kingdom in the East on the day she was born at the age of twelve, and she cherished it to the fullest. She is very affectionate, otherwise Shicai would not have turned back to save Leng Tong, and at this time, seeing the tragic situation like a stabbing man, it was really heartbreaking.

"Princess! With Hitomi, it's not easy for you to break through. Hitomi asks the princess to focus on the overall situation. ”

"Say anything, go together. ”

A wave of unevenness, under a stack of large nets directly above, Dongfang Hong's heart was in chaos, plus holding cold pupils, the rotation was ineffective, and the dodge was a little slow, but he was in the group, his hands and feet couldn't move, and he fell to the ground.

"This is a special gold wire net, repeatedly wrapped in six layers, with five Luo smoke hidden in it, I don't believe that they can't be locked. The soldiers in ambush were overjoyed and rushed forward without waiting for the commander's orders.

However, I saw that the net was burned red in an instant, as if it was not a person inside, but a high-temperature molten iron, and then, the dazzling sword qi like the sun hit the sky, cutting through the six-layer golden wire net, Dongfang Hong broke through the siege again, and the soldiers who couldn't avoid it all died of Hong Yuejin's heartbreak.

"Do you want to come again? I won't show mercy any more. Shaking off the dust on his body, Dongfang Hong said coldly. Although the sword has been unsheathed, a fierce sword aura is still all the people living in Yaoyao Town, and no one dares to forget how dazzling the sun that broke through the net just now.

After glancing at each other, the soldiers shouted, turned and ran, and in an instant they were clean and clean. Seeing that the crisis was temporarily removed, Dongfang Hong slowly sat down, gasping for breath, she continued to urge Yun Yun to break through the siege tonight, and forced the "Sun True Technique" that had not yet been cultivated, even if the martial arts had reached the realm, but she couldn't stand it, and inhaled the smoke, only to feel dizzy, and hurriedly sat down to breathe.

"It's such a powerful drug, and Hitomi also inhales, so I have to help her get rid of it. With his profound internal strength, Dongfanghong has dispersed his medicine surname in a short time, ignoring the waste of internal force, and his first thought is to help his friend heal.

Suddenly, the vest was numb, and a cold finger force pierced the body protection red energy, and more than ten acupoints in the Ren pulse were sealed, and the sneak attacker started so quickly, it was obvious that he was a first-class master, for fear that she would rush away from the acupoints, and immediately add her twelve points to the pulse to cut off the true qi in the body. In this way, Dongfanghong has the ability to reach the sky, and he cannot recover his mobility in a short time.

Dongfanghong fought in the middle of the night, killing countless masters, no one could stop his own move and a half, seeing that he was about to leave, but he was suddenly plotted, anxious and angry, thinking of the important task of recovering the country, all in vain, but he couldn't speak, he was really angry, and his body slowly softened. But she is not an ordinary woman who is sad in vain, her mind is turning sharply, seeking a way to get out, and a flash of inspiration appears, remembering the key point, an unspeakable fear, and climbing into her heart for the first time.

"Even if you are a top master, it is impossible to get close to me without being discovered, and talk about sneak attacks, then...

Trying to turn his neck, the figure that appeared in his eyes confirmed his thoughts. The person who silently plotted was her friend who defended and saved her from danger, Leng Tong.

"Good..you..hello.." In the tone, there is injustice, indignation, and deep sorrow. Filled with anger, he was speechless.

I fell for the enemy's bitter plan, but I was negligent, but I never thought that the partner who grew up together and was like a sister would sneak attack him. Leng Tong looked at his booty, and Silver Bell also chuckled. Squatted down and stroked Dongfanghong's smooth face.

"Princess, you took the risk to save me, Hitomi always thanked you. A strange color suddenly bloomed in Leng Pupil's eyes.

"But why did you come to save me?" After speaking, he pushed Dongfanghong to the ground and stepped on it with his left foot.

"Come, man! Kidnap this thief. After a few shouts, some soldiers who had not fled far took out the chains and trapped Dongfanghong's hands and feet.

The cold eyes are full of smugness, innocent eyes, and a coquettish smile, not at all like a woman who has just plotted against her best friend for many years.

Dongfang Hong couldn't speak, looking at this old friend who had sworn to live and die, and in his eyes, there was deep sadness that was enough to burn people.

"Princess, you must be tempted to ask, why am I plotting against you?" Leng Tong sighed, "It's a very cheesy reason, glory and wealth." ”

"It's really cheesy, isn't it? But the most cheesy, the most mundane reason, the best reason. Leng Tong said again: "Since I escaped death at the age of five, I have understood the truth of the world, 'those who are weaker than others will always be oppressed by others', at that time, I swore that in this life, there is no upper and lower level, and there is no regret in death." A tear slowly slid down from the cheeks of the red and white jade of the East, and it was extremely sad.

"That's right, princess, you have given me a lot of things, my past, my future, you have given me. Hitomi really appreciates this. ”

"But what else can you give me? Leader of the Praetorian Guard? With my beauty, my martial arts, and my resourcefulness, there is more than just a Janissary commander. Leng Tong smiled calmly: "So, I said today..." ”

The soldiers who were smiling on the side were all stunned, and they had never seen such a fusion in their lives, with sincerity and deceit at the same time, and the perfect fusion of evil and innocence.

"Princess! It seems that you are not the only one who has been impacted! Alas, I must have been to the Crimson Courtyard a lot, and the chain individuals are all sore and weak, unlike men. ”

Hearing the giggles, the soldiers only felt creepy, and they would not forget that the woman was in the midst of laughter and sold her best friend.

"Commander Qiqi, we're tied. The next step is.." "The next step, I think, well, I'd better take a break." ”

Seeing Leng Tong slowly pull out the long sword at his waist, the soldiers were shocked and hurriedly fled for their lives. But a cold and piercing sword aura instantly caught up.

Cold Blade Soul Breaker.

Leng Tong carried Dongfang Hong on his shoulders and said softly: "I hate that others hear my thoughts, it will make me feel very vulnerable, so I have to let the person who hears it go to heaven for refuge." I am as close as you, and I am still like this, let alone them. After speaking, he strode forward.
