Chapter 64
() Fifty miles outside the city of Fengcheng, camp.
Feng Shaojun was sitting alone in the tent at the moment, and a cup of tea on the desk in front of him was steaming out a mist. Staring at the mist in front of him, Feng Shaojun's whole person seemed to be stupid and stunned, and even he seemed to be hidden in this mist, making it impossible to see and see clearly.
Tomorrow, tomorrow is the most important day in my life, as long as tomorrow passes, I am the real ruler of Fengxiang. Jiang He, and your old dogs, will be trampled under my feet like a mess of mud.
Although Feng Shaojun's expression now seems calm, his heart is turbulent. A famous opponent, the enemy seems to have fallen in front of him, Jiang He, Li Yuxuan, Ling Hu Yurui and so on. He seems to have begun to imagine himself as the Lord of Fengxiang and the Emperor of the Southern Empire.
There is no doubt that in those years full of blood and fire, war and fighting, Feng Shaojun was undoubtedly a rather outstanding politician, military strategist, and of course a careerist. Without him, the dragon wouldn't have been involved in the war in the south of the continent so early. However, as it turned out, he made a mistake, a mistake that a man in his position must not make, and that was to be too confident in himself and too contemptuous of his enemies. It was such a mistake that finally cost him blood.
Feng Shaojun, who was lying in the tent, could not sleep peacefully, and a feeling of excitement filled his mind with some disorganized things, and some inexplicable absurd ideas drilled into his mind from time to time.
Finally, Feng Shaojun, who couldn't sleep, sat up from the bed, took a coat and put it on, and walked out of the tent.
It seems that tomorrow will definitely be a good weather, and the stars in the sky at this moment are enough to show that what you think in your heart is correct.
Suddenly, Feng Shaojun, who was staring at the starry sky, remembered a sentence his mother had said when he was a child.
"Every star in the sky corresponds to a person on the earth, and the fall of every star in the sky means that there is one less person in this world. ”
Feng Shaojun couldn't figure out why he thought of this sentence at this moment, this little thing. But one thing he was sure of was that he was now attracted by the vast starry sky.
Which star will it be?
An interesting question suddenly flashed into Feng Shaojun's mind, and he unconsciously moved his gaze to the sky to the south.
The starry sky to the south is unusually bright at the moment, because there are several stars that appear to be quite bright in this area.
Which one is mine, and which is the star of my life?
Finally, the largest and brightest star attracted Feng Shaojun's attention. In the entire southern starry sky, it was the largest and brightest one. Around it, there are also two stars that appear quite bright, one small and one large, reflecting each other.
Yes, the biggest one must be me, because from tomorrow I will be the true ruler of the southern part of the continent.
Just when Feng Shaojun was indulging in his fantasies, next to the star that Feng Shaojun thought represented him, two stars, one large and one small, changed. The big one fell to the east and appeared in the starry sky in the east, while the small light suddenly increased several times. Just as the next one where the change appeared, the "natal star" in Feng Shaojun's eyes turned into a meteor and slid into the starry sky.
What's going on?
A nameless anger suddenly surged in Feng Shaojun's heart.
After a long time, Feng Shaojun, who was standing under the starry sky, pouted as if he was self-deprecating, and returned to the camp. But inexplicably, a restless thought coiled in his heart, and he never left.
The western part of the continent, the Alps, under the constellation of the stars, the pinnacle of the mountains.
An old man in a white robe was standing on the top of the mountain at this moment, looking up at the starry sky, and the whistling mountain wind blew the old man's silver-gray hair.
"Master, it's cold tonight, you better go back!"
A handsome young man who was only seventeen or eighteen years old stood behind the old man and urged, and Tang Xufeng on the mountain made his thin body tremble.
"Wa'er, why are you coming up again, your body!" the old man looked back and saw her trembling figure in the wind, and couldn't help but reproach.
It turned out that this young man dressed in Western clothes turned out to be a young girl, and it can be seen from the names of the two to each other that the two are in a master-apprentice relationship.
"If Master doesn't go down, I won't go down either!" the girl grabbed the old man's long sleeves and played the little daughter's temper.
"Okay, okay, Master will go down. The old man turned around and encircled the girl's slender body into his arms, looking quite doting.
Just as the two of them were about to step down from the top of the star, something seemed to touch the old man all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but stop and look back at the starry sky. In an instant, the scene that Feng Shaojun, who was thousands of miles away, saw fell into the eyes of the old man. But there was a slight difference between them, and from here, there was a faint red halo around the star, which had been brightened several times over.
The old man's body was obviously a little stiff, and the girl in his arms raised her head and winked at the old man with a pair of pure and immaculate blue eyes.
"Master, is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, do you see that star?" said the old man, pointing to the star in the southern sky.
"Is it the one with a flush? it's so beautiful!" the girl was obviously a little excited to see such a star for the first time.
"It was originally a dragon star!"
"Dragon Star?"
"Well, the dragon star has reappeared, and the lives are devastated!"
The old man lowered his head to look at the pale girl in his arms, and smiled: "Forget it, let's go down, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it!"
In the south of the continent, Suger City, the house of the head of the family.
The strange howl that shook the sky not only woke up the people of the city, but also caused chaos among everyone in the mansion of the head of the family.
Coincidentally, Xu Ruoyu, Li Fang, Su Mi and others all gathered in front of the military conference hall, because this earth-shattering strange roar came from the military conference hall.
What's going on?
Everyone's eyes were full of confusion, young people such as Xu Ruoyu, Su Bingbing and others had never heard such a strange howl, and older people such as Li Fang, Su Mi had never heard such a strange sound for most of his life.
"Where is the marksman?" Xu Ruoyu shouted.
"Subordinates are here!" a marksman had already descended from the tower.
"You've been guarding this place all the time, but has anyone ever entered the military chamber?"
"No, not all the time. The head of the house has commanded that no one shall enter the military chamber without the seal of you or the head of the house. ”
"That's weird, I just went in a few days ago and put something in, and I haven't been in since then, how can there be such a strange whistling sound coming from inside now?" Xu Ruoyu touched his head, puzzled.
"Major General Qin, what did you put in there, did that thing make a noise?" Li Fang asked.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Commander Tang knows what I put in it. Xu Ruoyu immediately denied Li Fang's speculation.
Hearing Xu Ruoyu say this, everyone's eyes turned to Tang Xu on the side, obviously everyone was waiting for his answer.
"It's the head of the family's sword, the Panlong Ancient Sword!"
Panlong Ancient Sword!
Everyone exclaimed in their hearts, impossible, the Panlong Ancient Sword is a sword that the head of the family never leaves his body, how can it be placed in the military chamber?
Reading the doubts in everyone's eyes, Tang Xu didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him at all, and turned his gaze for help to Xu Ruoyu. When everyone saw it, they immediately realized that Xu Ruoyu was the real executor of this matter. He, the man who wields the sword, will definitely have an answer.
"It was entrusted to me by the head of the family, and now the head of the family is probably already in Fengxiang. Xu Ruoyu shrugged helplessly.
"Feng Xiang, why did the head of the family go to Fengxiang? Why did he go to Fengxiang alone? and hand over the Panlong Ancient Sword that never leaves his body to you?" Su Mi was the first to ask questions.
"Yes, Fengxiang! But I don't know what the head of the family is doing in Fengxiang. But I'm sure it won't be long before we figure it out. Xu Ruoyu's calm tone seemed to imply something. In fact, from the time Tang Xu handed over the Panlong Ancient Sword to him and told the family master to go to Feng Xiang and his party, Xu Ruoyu had vaguely guessed the purpose of Li Yuxuan's trip.
"We'll get to know what we mean. Where is the head of the family in Fengxiang now?" Bai Tengqi asked.
Bai Teng's expression was a little flustered for some reason, but Bai Ruolan beside him seemed quite calm.
Yuxuan, I know you have your own things to do, and I will wait for you to come back.
Bai Ruolan's face showed a flush at this moment, but in this panicked situation, everyone except Xu Ruoyu didn't notice it.
Xu Ruoyu glanced at Bai Tengqi, and suddenly said with a straight face: "The head of the family went south to Fengxiang this time, which is the top secret of the 'homeland', and no one is allowed to leak it." Otherwise, I will use the family master's Panlong Ancient Sword to immediately kill this person, do you hear clearly?"
Seeing that everyone no longer had problems, Xu Ruoyu continued:
"Major General Li, Major General Lou, and Commander Tang, the three of you will march into the hall with me, and the rest will stay outside the hall and will not enter. ”
Li Fang and the other three immediately stood beside Xu Ruoyu.
"Why don't you let us in?" Bai Tengqi was a little annoyed, being commanded by a junior who was younger than his daughter, Bai Tengqi felt quite dissatisfied.
"Where is the marksman?" said Xu Ruoyu.
"Here!" The sixty marksmen on duty on the twelve towers had already gotten down the towers and stood in front of Xu Ruoyu at this time.
"You are watching here, whoever dares to take a step will be killed!" Xu Ruoyu took off the seal letter of the "homeland" guest from his waist and handed it to a team leader, who took the lead towards the gate of the military conference hall, and Li Fang and the other three followed closely behind.
"This ......" Bai Tengqi looked at the sixty sharpshooters trained by Li Yuxuan himself in three rows in front of him, and his face turned green with anger.
"Dad, forget it, in fact, Keqing is also for our good!" Bai Ruolan explained her father on the side.
"What's good for me, this kid is too crazy, you know, even if it's Li ...... The head of the family has never done this to me!" Seeing that Bai Teng was speechless, Bai Ruolan quickly reached out and twisted it on her father's arm, and Bai Tengqi understood and changed his name to Li Yuxuan.
"Dad, General Li Fang, they are all military generals, we don't know martial arts. If there's any danger inside, it's going to be hard to do!"
"Forget it, forget me for worrying!" Bai Tengqi turned around angrily and left.
"Ruolan, will there be something?" Su Bingbing on the side walked over and grabbed Bai Ruolan's sleeve.
"It's going to be fine!" Bai Ruolan gently pressed Su Bingbing's slightly trembling hand with her other hand, and at the same time comforted herself.
Xu Ruoyu and the others had already walked outside the door of the military conference hall at this time, glanced at Li Fang and the others on both sides, and found that Li Fang and the others were also staring at them at the moment.
"Open!"
With Xu Ruoyu's order, the two huge stone doors of the military conference hall were opened under the divine power of Li Fang and Su Mi. In fact, these two good stone gates are quite heavy, and it usually takes ten sergeants to open the door, which can also show the deep internal strength of the two generals.
The whistling sound intensified several times the moment the stone door opened. It was clear that the source of the whistling must be in the Military Chamber. In the distance, Bai Ruolan and Su Bingbing's faces suddenly became extremely pale.
The interior of the military conference hall is quite empty, and you can see the situation in the hall from the door, and there will be absolutely nothing missing. Inside the military chamber, there was nothing but a large stone table.
Nothing!
No, at this moment, there is a mahogany sword stand at the end of the military conference hall, and the sword stand is the ancient sword of the coiling dragon.
I saw a red mist coiling around the Panlong Ancient Sword, and it was even more lightning flashing, and from time to time it changed into various strange whistling sounds, which was deafening.
How can this be? Is there something wrong with your eyes? How can this happen?
The four people standing in the doorway rubbed their eyes almost at the same moment, but the red mist and the violent and strange whistling sound in their ears all showed that what they saw was a fact, an indisputable fact.
Just when the four of them were stunned at the door of the military conference hall, countless red lights shot out from the scabbard of the Panlong Ancient Sword, piercing the red mist, and even Xu Ruoyu and the others, who were dozens of meters away, couldn't open their eyes because the light was too dazzling. After a while, as the eyes of the four of them began to adjust to the red light (the brightness of the light itself had diminished considerably), a shocking sight appeared.
A monster dozens of meters long, with four huge eagle claws, a pair of giant antlers, and black scale armor is entrenched in the air with its bloody mouth open, and its surroundings are even more colorful, and various colors of mist are shrouded around it, adding a mystery and horror.
Dragon, a dragon, a living dragon!
Xu Ruoyu first recognized that the creature in front of him was the dragon in Eastern mythology and legend, a sacred and noble creature. And Li Fang and the others also understood from Xu Ruoyu's cry what kind of creature they were facing now.
The black dragon didn't seem to pay attention to the few "villains" in front of him, but raised his head upwards and spewed out a pillar of red light from his mouth that was a hundred times brighter than just now. The roof of the military chamber slowly became an astonishing manifestation under the illumination of the pillars of light.
The stone roof gradually became transparent, and eventually became glass, and the stars in the night sky shone like treasures hanging on the roof.
Suddenly, one of the stars increased in brightness several times, emitting a strange light in the night sky.
At that moment, the black dragon roared and roared, and flew towards the roof.
The dragon chant was far away and clear, but everyone around the military chamber, and even the people in the whole city were in pain, and Xu Ruoyu and the others even covered their ears and squatted on the ground.
When the dragon's groan died down and Xu Ruoyu and the others looked up again, the entire military conference hall was calm, as if nothing had happened. The transparent part of the roof also became blurry until it finally became the same color as the surrounding stone. The coiling dragon ancient sword was still lying quietly on the sword stand, and there was no longer a trace of movement.
Xu Ruoyu and the four of you, you stare at me, I stare at you, and they can't figure out whether what happened just now is true or false, whether it is a dream or an illusion.
In the end, it was Xu Ruoyu who opened his mouth.
"Generals, what happened today is too strange, wait for the head of the family to come back and discuss it. Until then, don't divulge any news about tonight!"
"Yes. ”
The two stone doors of the military conference hall were closed again, and Xu Ruoyu and the four of them walked back to Bai Ruolan and the others.
"What's going on, Keqing?" Su Bingbing couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, let's all go back and rest! Marksman, continue to be on duty in their respective positions!" After finishing speaking, Xu Ruoyu was the first to walk out of the square and go back to his room. Li Fang and the other three also didn't say a word and left silently.
"What's wrong with them, they're all like dumb people, they don't even pay attention to me!" Su Bingbing began to protest against this "unfair" treatment.
"Forget it, since they won't say it, it's useless for you to force them, let's go back. Anyway, now that the strange whistling sound is gone, it's a lot cleaner. Bai Ruolan took Su Bingbing's hand and comforted. But her heart is not as easy as it says.
Something unusual must have happened, otherwise why would generals like Li Fang, who had experienced the cruel test of war, also turn pale, and he could even clearly find a look in their eyes that should not have appeared - fear.
With a stomach full of doubts and uneasiness, Bai Ruolan pulled Su Bingbing and left the square outside the military conference hall.
On the same day and night, Fengcheng.
A team of soldiers patrolling the night saw a black monster falling from the sky and landing on the "Tianhuang Residence" and disappeared in an instant, and the next day it became the most attractive topic in the streets and alleys of Fengcheng.
