Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Enemy Fights Alone
Xu was cold by the cold wind of the moon, and a heavily armored soldier in the night pulled the collar at his neck up, and then rubbed his hands that were not covered by the armor a few times, and took a few breaths of hot air on his palms, even if it was warm.
He looked at the brightly lit mansion of the commander in this night, and his heart was full of envy.
He envied the new generals in the commander's mansion, as soon as they came to this army, they could drink the Luanzhou wine that was warm and warm as soon as they opened the cork, and they could also eat the roasted fragrant lamb leg meat torn from the strong thighs of Huangyan sheep.
And although he has been stationed here for many years, he can only keep vigil with a halberd in this cold wind at this moment.
"So that's the benefit of being born in an official family, right?"
The heavily armored soldier took a few more breaths of hot air into his palms, picked up the cold halberd on the pole on the ground, and continued to garrison in this cold night.
Not far away, bursts of hearty laughter came from the Commander's Mansion from time to time.
There is a banquet for dozens of people on the top of the lobby in Fuzhong, and there are not only large pieces of roasted Huangyan lamb leg meat on the table, but also a whole large sea bass that is difficult to buy in Lanzhou, and in front of everyone at the table is a triangular wine bottle full of Luanzhou wine.
The one who laughed the most at the banquet was a burly and middle-aged general sitting on the main seat.
A heavy armor made of dark iron weighing 100 catties, worn on his body like goose feathers, but the gestures are at ease, the red phoenix on the shoulder armor as a decoration, under the flame of the furnace, more and more golden and bright, lifelike, as if it will flutter its wings and spit flames at any time.
The middle-aged general raised the three-legged wine bottle in front of him, and laughed heartily: "Today's wine is not drunk and will not return!" Hahahaha! ”
With that, he drank all the wine in the bottle, and then rushed down the bottle, smiling and serving the crowd in the room.
Seeing this, everyone held the bottle on their chests, and then drank it all, and then rushed down from the bottle, and after doing this whole set of actions, the general of the main position.
There was a young general who drank too quickly and coughed a few times.
The middle-aged general smiled heartily at the coughing man: "Mo Ran! In the past, your mother was in charge of drinking at home, but now that you are in this blazing army, wine is a bold thing to make friends with! Drink when it's time to drink! The Father can teach you! Hahahaha! ”
Wu Moran looked at his laughing father Wu Chengbi, and thought to himself: "My father finally came out of the fourth brother's death in battle, so good." ”
Thinking like this, he poured a bottle of wine into his wine bottle again, and then drank it to his father Wu Chengbi and said: "Today, I am still your son, and tomorrow, I will be the former general of the Blazing Army!" And you're my boss! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Wu Chengbi looked at his fifth son in front of him so sensible, and he also drank it all after a bottle of wine.
may have vaguely seen the shadow of his eldest son Wu Modi from Wu Moran's body, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Everyone at the banquet was touched by this scene, and they also filled the wine bottle with wine, and raised their necks to the entrance of the Wu family's father and son: "Wu Zhuguo has a son like this, and there are successors to the blazing army!" There is a successor to the Zhuguo Mansion! ”
After three rounds of drinking, Tu Jinguang, a slightly drunk general of the rear army, suddenly said that he leaked: "I look at these five sons, there are indeed three sons ......."
Rong Hongwen, the partial general of the Chinese army beside him, didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and stepped on him hard.
Tu Jinguang said "ouch", and just wanted to attack Rong Hongwen who stepped on him, but the other party whispered close to his ear: "You really don't open which pot to mention, when you are so happy, what are you mentioning the third son?" ”
When Tu Jinguang heard this, he jerked his mouth and thought, "Banana is spicy!" I can't control my mouth all the time! ”
Seeing the appearance of the rear army general sobbing his mouth, Wu Chengbi smiled and quipped: "It doesn't hurt to say, my three sons are invincible and died on the rebellious thief, and they died as they deserved, and they died as they deserved......
Although it was a joke, in the end, General Wu's tone was also slightly choked.
"I don't know how expensive the son is this year?" Liang Yuansi, a former army general who was afraid of Wu Zhuguo's heartache, raised a bottle to toast Wu Moran, and successfully attracted everyone's attention to this young man.
Wu Moran raised his glass shyly and replied, "Little nephew, I am fifteen this year." ”
"Great! Good! Liang Yuansi was overjoyed when he heard this, and grabbed the left arm of the young man next to him, "The son is the same age as my family's Xianzong!" The two of you will become best friends in the future! ”
The young man who was grabbed on his left arm awkwardly waved his right hand at Wu Moran, and greeted: "Hello son, in Xia Liang Xianzong, this person who grabbed my hand and didn't let go is my father." ”
In 937 AD, in the thirty-seventh year of Hanjingzong Taikang, seventeen-year-old Liang Xianzong gave the fifteen-year-old Wu Moran the first greeting.
At the same time, in Yongning, the capital city of more than thousands of miles away from the two of them, there was a prince called the eldest grandson Yuanque who was muttering in his sleep the ancient book "Selected Poems of Rui Lin".
At this time, he had just turned ten years old.
They were still teenagers, and they didn't know that eight years later, the fate of the three of them would converge in a place called Yuanmiao.
This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
It is said that Wu Moran replaced the fourth brother Wu Modi at the age of fifteen, and was assigned by his father to the former military account where the fourth brother was staying, and worshiped under the command of Liang Yuansi, a partial general of the former army.
Liang Yuansi is the second son of Liang Bingtian, the suzerain of the Aozhou Demon Suppression Sect, since the eleventh year of Han Taizu Yanxi, the Liang family of the Demon Suppression Sect has the habit of sending the second son to serve in the blazing army of "that place", one is to fulfill the oath to the imperial court when "that place" was established, and the other is to enhance the run-in with the Wu family of the blazing army, so that they can better cooperate and jointly suppress the deepest thing in "that place".
The earliest name of that place is called "Demon Suppression Division", as the name suggests, that is, the place of suppressing demons, which was established in the eleventh year of Han Taizu Yanxi.
Later, because this place was too strange and chaotic, for fear of scaring ordinary people, and for fear that it would attract chaotic demon believers if it was called, so in the second year after its establishment, that is, in the twelfth year of Han Taizu's Yanxi Dynasty, the name "Demon Suppression Division" was abolished, and it was uniformly called "that place" to the outside world.
By the time Wu Moran and Liang Xianzong and a group of young generals settled in, the suppression of that thing in that place lasted for 22 years.
Every five years, the defenders of that place will welcome a new batch of blood.
By Wu Moran's batch, it was already the fifth batch, and originally their batch of candidate young generals would have to wait for another 3 years, that is, 940 AD before they would be conscripted into the army.
However, their predecessors, the fourth group of young generals who enlisted in 935 AD, were almost all killed in a rebellion jointly launched by Yu Jiang, the eldest grandson of the then King of Hui, and Yu Chi, the eldest grandson of the King of Ning, in 936 AD.
Among the young generals who sacrificed in that group was Wu Moran's fourth brother Wu Modi, who was originally under the former army tent and was trained as the future commander of the Blazing Army, but in a breakthrough battle in the Rebellion of the Two Kings, he was seriously injured and died in order to cover the retreat of his father Wu Chengbi.
Seeing that his father was surrounded by dozens of times the number of rebels, the more he fought, the more he fought, the more he fought, and not far away, nearly a hundred soul attackers were quickly chanting and sealing, and if they were carefully distinguished, they were all soul devouring slashes aimed at a single body!
Seeing this scene, Wu Modi was horrified!
He was extremely anxious in his heart: "Even if the Father's Shuai realm is a Soul Realm, in the face of the Soul Devouring Slash released by nearly 100 people at the same time, I am afraid that I will die on the spot!" ”
Fu looked at the Dugu Overlord Sword in his hand again, and said with remorse: "If this sword is in the hands of my father, I can still unseal half of the sword souls to deal with it." But now that the sword is in my hand, what should I do?! ”
Seeing that the handprints of the soul attackers were about to be completed, Wu Modi turned his heart sideways, so Wu Modi, whose realm was only an unfinished soul realm at that time, forcibly gathered qi to break through the realm to the soul realm!
Although the internal force brought about by breaking through the third-order realm made his mouth bleed, Wu Modi, who was as good as his name, was stunned to unseal half of the seven hundred and seventy-seven sealed ghosts on the sword body of the Dugu Overlord!
"Don't force it unblocked!" Seeing his son forcibly lift the seal of the sword body, Wu Chengbi was shocked and frightened!
Shocking is invincible! It's not a good boy for the Blazing Army! In fact, without relying on the blessing of the soul master, he only relied on his own qi gathering to instantly improve the third-order realm, and promoted from the first-order soul realm to the first-order soul realm!
I'm afraid of it! Such a strong mention of the third-order realm itself will bring about an internal force backlash, and it even forcibly lifted the ban on the Dugu Overlord Sword, which only brought one consequence-
"You're going to be out!" Wu Chengbi shouted at Wu Modi, and wanted to fly to stop the latter's anti-heavenly behavior, but he was helplessly surrounded by many people, but he was unable to withdraw.
On Wu Modi's side, the sword body of the Dugu Overlord Sword trembled violently, and there was a "buzzing" cry around his body.
Suddenly, the screams came to an abrupt end!
Then the entire noisy battlefield was suddenly silent, so quiet that only one person's breath could be heard!
Wu Chengbi, whose movements were slowed down dozens of times, listened to Wu Modi's dignified breathing, and knew that it was too late!
In an instant, three hundred and thirty-three ghosts broke through their swords!
And the moment the ghost poured out, the battlefield resumed the sound of fighting!
The ghost that broke out of the sword turned into three hundred and thirty-three sword souls mixed with the sound of the wind, sorrow, and whispers, and roared towards the nearly 100 soul attackers of the rebels with a huge wave of rushing momentum!
In the blink of an eye, all of these nearly 100 soul attackers were robbed of their souls and died!
Wu Chengbi, who was relieved of the danger of devouring the soul, blessed the soul qi of the Juchen Sword in his hand, and used one move and five successful powers to first raise the thick Juchen Sword to more than 3 zhang high in the air, and then slammed the huge sword body into the ground!
The gushing air wave blasted out a pit with a radius of nearly ten zhang, and the scorched pit was full of dead and wounded rebels.
The scattered rebels who rushed forward were all killed by Wu Chengbi one by one.
Seeing that his father had been freed from the predicament, Wu Modi smiled miserably, stumbled and didn't stand firmly, but knelt on his right knee, his intuition was slightly sweet and wanted to vomit, and he covered it with his hand to see that it was full of thick blood the color of pig liver.
Wu Modi, who knew that he had run out of oil and dried up, still had unfinished business in his heart, so he supported the ground with his right hand and struggled to stand up.
The heavy sword Dugu was lifted high above the top by him with a sharp inhalation, and then shouted at his father Wu Chengbi: "Father! This Dugu Overlord Sword, my blessing is too shallow, and I can't bear it! Now I've got it back to you! ”
After shouting this, Wu Modi injected the last soul energy into the sword, and then with a fierce move, the Dugu Overlord Sword in his hand came out of his hand and shot towards Wu Chengbi!
When the Dugu Overlord sword was inserted in front of Wu Chengbi, where could he still see Wu Modi's figure.
Alack! After all, the young general dissolved and disappeared, turning into a wisp of soul energy and dissipating on this dim battlefield.
Wu Chengbi will never forget his son Wu Modi's last words before the enemy was dismissed.
"Father, the stars in the sky are beautiful."
