Chapter XVII: Preparing for War

Emperor Shuo retracted his sword into its sheath and strode out of the inner sanctum. He urgently summoned the Shadow Troops www.biquge.info "Inform all cities to close the city gates, gather every defender, and transfer the Shenji Battalion back." ”

"Where?"

"Dragon's Tooth Pass. His tone trembled as he spoke, the battle was so tragic that even he couldn't help but feel fear, and every time he thought about it, his internal organs would fall into an inexplicable disorder.

Similarly, the martial arts training platform in the Song Peerless City finally calmed down.

The residual incense quickly extinguished in the blizzard, and there were only more than thirty people standing on the stage. King Ji You sat on the throne of the cold bear, he picked up the golden bottle, and the cup was filled with the strongest wine in Qingzhou! The wind and snow rushed into the wine, and it melted quickly...... He finished the wine in one gulp and said, "Next batch." ”

Another thousand new samurai came to power, and he also had some sorrow in his eyes, and he had to quickly pick out a group of singing warriors who could resist Shuoyuan's attack.

It won't take too long, and the map of Qingzhou will be rewritten.

One country will be stronger, and the other will be like Fuso. The long river continued to flow into the distance, Lu Yubing opened his eyes, he yawned lazily, stretched his legs straight, and saw the sunlight coming in from the colorful tiles of the shrine, dazzling and warm.

Hou Xue sat with his legs crossed in front of the shrine, his broadsword slashing into the shrine's sturdy bluestone bricks, blood seeping through the cracks from the hilt of the knife.

There was a lot more blood on the knife than last night, and some of it was still fresh.

Lu Yubing walked over, and his eyes gradually widened, and when he saw the corpses all over the ground under the temple, he couldn't help but be taken aback. Hou Xue sounded in a deep voice: "You wake up, go on the road." ”

Lu Yubing packed up his things and stepped on the bluestone steps in front of the torii gate with him again. The bluestone steps had turned red, and Hou Xue had killed many things in the middle of the night, and they all rolled down the steps...... Corpses littered the field. Some jackals were biting the corpses, and when they saw Hou Xue coming, they only dared to roar in a low voice, and finally fled with a strange scream.

Lu Yingbing thought to himself: It must be this person who went on a killing spree last night, and many fierce beasts were afraid when they saw him.

Hou Xue walked faster and faster, and Lu Yubing had to work hard to keep up with him. Hou Xue just said, "Hurry up." "The carcass of the animal he killed last night will be eaten up quickly, and he must leave Fuso before the carcass is eaten, so as to reduce the chance of encountering the beast, it is safer.

Fierce beasts are some mythical beasts, not tigers, leopards, bears and wolves, but some strange things, especially in the vast and sparsely populated wilderness south of Fuso, which is the region where fierce beasts emerge in endlessly.

Hou Xue's life is hard, if he encounters a fierce beast, he should not die, and Lu Qingchen is a little dangerous. He touched the wound under his abdomen, and blood gushed out...... Although it is not deep, there is a risk of infection.

Hou Xue asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Yingbing replied with a smile: "Hometown." ”

In the wilderness south of Qingzhou, as long as you go deep enough, you can always see the cold snow country. Lu Qingchen has not seen the Song Peerless City from afar...... It should be as vast as the sky, and as majestic as a keel. When he was seven years old, he was still blinded when he was sent away by a Shuo carriage. What a cruel thing this was to a child, and he was full of anxiety and doubts, why should he be sacrificed, and sent him to the hostile country of Shuo, where he would suffer all the pain and despair. After all, he is a human being, and he frankly admits that he is also greedy for life and afraid of death. In the past two years, he suddenly figured it out. He had to survive, like the snowy owl hanging high above the cliff, and let the wolves below sneer at him see how majestic it spreads its wings!

Lu Yubing smiled slightly, his smile was impressive, like the most gorgeous strange flower under the nine skies, which could break the hearts of many women.

Because his smile is so bright and so happy, how many women also want to have such a beautiful smile, but once they see that smile, they know that they can't learn it. Only when he laughs, there is a taste.

"Where are you going?"

Hou Xue let go of her hand from the hilt of the knife and looked straight into the distance. "Maybe I'll keep going. ”

"Keep walking?"

"Along the long river, far away from the world, I don't want to make friends with a second "Chi" and watch it die tragically in front of me. His tone suddenly became uncalm, and he closed his eyes and remained silent at the thought of the sight of the naked death in his arms. Although Hou Xiaochen died tragically, the sadness in his heart still did not subside...... No matter how many people he killed, his old friends who accompanied him would never return.

"Do you understand the word 'friend'?"

Hou Xue nodded and said, "I believe that the relationship between friends is the most intimate and selfless. ”

"But you don't have any friends. ”

"Although I believe in the affection between friends, it is difficult to distinguish the relationship between friends, and some people also call them 'friends', but they do things that are more vicious than enemies. ”

Hou Xue saw Fusang flowers.

The hibiscus flowers by the river grew luxuriantly, and the fragrance wafted ten miles away, and in his memory, it seemed that there was also a woman holding his hand and coming to Fusang many years ago.

Although the color of his eyes was inherited from her, he always referred to her as "that woman".

After several twists and turns, the woman pleaded bitterly in front of another richly dressed woman, hoping that Hou Xue could be housed in their house.

"My father-in-law has never asked for help, but I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, raise this child. ”

"That's not going to work. ”

"Where not!"

"You know that Hou Fu and I have always had a marriage contract, and I have admired him and admired him since I was a child, but you ......" The woman was suddenly angry and shouted: "You still dare to appear in front of me with this bastard? Get out!"

The woman pulled out her short knife and stabbed the angry woman on the other side blind. Later, all walks of life were chasing and killing Hou Xue and the woman, and they kept running and running...... Before rushing into the barbarian territory, the woman decided to abandon him, she stroked Hou Xue's face and murmured in frustration: "It's you, it's him." The sky is long, why is it better than the two of us?" she threw Hou Xue in the wilderness of Shuoyuan, and spurred her horse away alone.

What happened later, Hou Xue can't remember very clearly.

He only hated those two from the bottom of his bones, and if they hated him so much, why did they let him come into this world?

He kept walking, and the red clay crushed by his iron boots was deeply imprinted.

They walked for an unknown amount of time, and saw a flock of colorful birds gathering on the riverbank. The birds had an unusually long neck, stood on their feet, and were nine feet tall, and though their wings had degenerated, their leg muscles had become stiff, and they could run rapidly on land.

Lu Yubing said: "Isn't that the barbarian's favorite mount, the chocobo?"

Hou Xue's hand was already on the knife, and he said, "If you can catch it and use it for transportation, it is excellent." I've heard that chocobos are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and if they see a creature that is easier to deal with, they will attack it in groups. ”

Lu Yubing said with a smile: "It's time for me to go out, I'm so afraid, I'm really afraid." I saw that the more than ten chocobos were excited, calling loudly, and rushed towards Lu Yubing.

When he rushed to the front, Hou Xue suddenly came out from behind the stones by the river, shaking two long ropes in his hands...... The long rope was actually a horse's rein, which was on Yan Kai's dead war horse, and Hou Xue collected it when he helped Yan break it.
