Volume 4: The Year of the Curtain Chapter 42 Drinking
Countless stones fell from the peaks, and those stones had residual snow on them, and there were wet marks after the snow melted, and they fell on the mountains, fell on the cliffs, and smashed countless debris, and then slammed into the air, and continued to fall, and finally landed on the head of the black-pressed cavalry at the exit of the canyon.
After falling from the peak to the bottom of the peak, the speed of the stone has become terrifying, much more terrifying than the throwing of short spears that the steppe cavalry is accustomed to.
The steppe cavalry were huddled together, and it was difficult to dodge, and countless stones fell on them, making a dull sound of dust, and some were smashed into large holes, and some people's heads burst open like ripe melons and fruits.
The exit of the canyon was suddenly stained with blood and flesh, and everywhere there was a terrible howl and neighing of horses, and the procession was in chaos, the horses' hooves were moving, and smoke and dust were everywhere.
Many of the cavalrymen had blood on their faces, and beneath the blood was a look of despair, but it was the next development that really made them desperate, because after the falling rocks, there was a rain of axes.
At least a thousand heavy axes were thrown from between the cliffs and smashed into the steppe cavalry, which had fallen into chaos.
Those stones that fell from the top of the peak were heavy, those axes were also heavy, and it took a lot of strength to be able to be thrown such a distance, and logically speaking, only martial arts practitioners had this ability. However, it is impossible to find so many martial arts cultivators in the world, and they can still organize an extremely disciplined ambush army.
The sky was full of axe shadows, followed by earth-shattering shouts of killing. More than 2,000 young men dressed in animal skins were jumping, running, roaring and rushing down among the rocks of the mountain cliffs, they were not martial arts practitioners, but they had strength that was not weaker than that of martial arts practitioners, because they were desolate people, natural warriors.
It was a completely one-sided killing.
......
......
Dozens of heavy stones had fallen on the carriage, and the carriage shook violently, followed by a thunderous crash. The arrows like grass beside the black carriage, the broken arrows like piles of grain, were smashed by those stones, and then crushed into crumbs, and then stained red and sticky by the flesh and blood of the steppe cavalry, which looked extremely bright.
The big black horse looked up at the carriage and couldn't see what was happening outside, but knew that things were changing. I couldn't help but be a little nervous. I was a little curious.
Ning Que said in a low voice, "It's here." ”
The sound of falling rocks and axes and the sound of fighting were incessant, and it was not quiet until much later. Then there was a fierce shout of cheer, and finally absolute silence.
Ning Que hugged Sangsang and stepped out of the carriage.
......
......
Last winter. The Left Tent Royal Court reneged on the peace agreement reached with the Desolate Tribe, and secretly joined hands with the coalition forces of the Xiling Temple to sneak attack the main force of the Desolate People, chasing and killing for hundreds of miles, and the Desolate people suffered heavy casualties.
In the spring of this year, under the leadership of the Demon Sect Walking Tang, the Desolate tribe sneaked through the Tianqi Mountain Range for several nights, went to the Helan Mountain to climb the peak of bouldering, and ambushed the cavalry of the Left Tent Wangting.
Of the 3,000 cavalry of the Left Tent Palace, only a few hundred managed to escape. Only three of the more than ten fallen commanders survived, and the prince of Longqing was seriously injured, and he relied on the sacrifice of two Daomen hidden powerhouses to escape from Tang's hands.
The canyon was full of the corpses of the steppe cavalry, and occasionally a few war horses were standing beside their masters, and more than 2,000 powerful desert warriors were holding the iron axes in their hands high. Excitedly raise their arms and shout.
It was a perfect revenge of the desolate man against the treacherous.
However, the cheers of the desolate warriors stopped faster than expected, and they looked at the black carriage surrounded by dead bodies in the middle of the canyon, which gradually fell silent, and their faces showed horror.
The love of the desolate warriors is not complicated. Compared to the people who saw this black carriage elsewhere in the world, they were just afraid. Very simple fear.
Especially when the black carriage door was opened, and Ning Que helped Sang Sang out of it, the desolate warriors looked at the thin little girl, as if they saw the dark night they feared the most.
......
......
"A lot of people tend to revel in the thrill of revenge, but I don't think it's meaningful, even though I've been doing it for the first half of my life, because revenge first requires revenge, and that means suffering first. ”
Ning Que looked at the strong man in leather clothes a few zhang away, and said: "The desolate man is a natural warrior, you command so many desolate people, and you lost so badly last winter, it is really unimaginable. ”
Tang thought about the bloody battle in the camp tent in the coalition army on a snowy night last winter, even if he was as strong as him, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "You don't know how much power is hidden in the Xiling Temple. ”
Ning Que said: "I don't need to know these things, I only know that the desolate people are miserable now." ”
Don said: "No matter how miserable we are now, if it weren't for us, you would have died today." ”
Ning Que said: "I know that you will definitely come, this has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with Sangsang, so I don't need to thank you, I have created such a good ambush opportunity for you, if you can't even grasp this, the desolate people are not qualified to go south, let alone hope to return to the country." ”
Where is Sangsang, where are the dark clouds and black crows in the sky, the black carriage is going diagonally eastward along the wasteland in the north of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know how many people's eyes have been attracted along the way, in Helan City, Ning Que did not choose to go north but went east, making such a big move, exposing his whereabouts, is to attract the enemies of the Eastern Wilderness.
The Eastern Wilderness has always been the sphere of influence of the Left Tent Royal Court, and Long Qing is now the master of this wasteland, Ning Que knows that Long Qing will definitely be the first to appear, that is, to use him and the cavalry of the Left Tent Royal Court to attract Tang and the Desert warriors.
The whereabouts of the black carriage were transmitted to the Eastern Wilderness, the Xiling Temple and the Buddha Sect had no time to react, Longqing was in time, and the desolate people were also in time, Tang did not know Ning Que's intentions, and even if he had a guess, he could not be sure, but as Ning Que said, it was impossible for the desolate people to let go of this opportunity for revenge.
So Don and the Desert Warriors appear here.
......
......
Don said, "We have come, revenge, then now we will leave." ”
Ning Que said: "Take us together." ”
Tang frowned slightly and said, "You know it's impossible. ”
Ning Que said, "Why? Even if you don't thank me, I want to hear if there is any reason." ”
Tang looked at Sangsang beside him and said, "Because she is the daughter of the Hades." ”
Ning Que said: "I remember that the desolate people worship the Immortal King. ”
Tang said: "Worship does not mean liking, more is fear, since the desolate people believe in Mingzong, they have been worshipping the Immortal King, praying that he will not hurt us." ”
Ning Que said: "Sang Sang is the daughter of the Hades King, the Desolate Man does not protect her now, on the day of the invasion of the Underworld in the future, how do you say the Hades King will punish you and your people?"
Tang said: "If she died, the Hades might never be able to find the human world, and naturally there would be no such thing as an invasion of the underworld, in that case, why should my people worry about those impossible things?"
Ning Que shook his head and said, "You believe in the Underworld, no one dares to kill her, then the Underworld may invade, why can't you make some preparations in advance for the possible future?"
Tang said: "If you are taken in, don't wait for the Hades to appear, the desolate people will be besieged by the world and exterminated. ”
Ning Que sneered and said: "For a whole thousand years, who in the world has unleashed any kindness to you desolate people? Don't forget that you are still in a state of war, even if there is no me and Sangsang, the Central Plains countries want to destroy your clan." ”
Don was silent.
Ning Que said again: "Take us in or on the contrary, the desolate people are the enemies of the whole world, and we are also the enemies of the whole world, don't you think we should naturally live together?"
Tang said, "What's the good for the desolate people to take you in?"
Ning Que said with emotion: "How can I say that Sangsang and I are good to your sister, can you not be so philistine?"
Tang repeated expressionlessly: "What's the benefit?"
Ning Que looked a little helpless, and then said with a stern expression: "If the underworld invades, the desolate people can have the most fertile land and the most flocks. ”
For the desolate people, the fertile land is their life, and it is the goal of their life's pursuit, especially after being driven to the cold region of the extreme north for thousands of years, it has become an irresistible temptation for them.
Tang's face still didn't change, stared at Ning Que's eyes and said: "The invasion of the underworld, the eternal night is coming, the whole world will become extremely cold, no matter how fertile the land is, how can grass grow without sunlight, and where do sheep come from without grass? Without sheep, what do we desolate people eat to survive? We will all die eventually, does it matter how much place we can live after death?"
"Isn't it important? I see that many dignitaries and nobles spend the second half of their lives thinking about where to live after death and how big the mansion is...... Well, even if it doesn't matter, I still promise to make the desolate man the most powerful ghost after the invasion of the underworld. ”
Ning Que said categorically: "I promise that when the time comes, I will make you feel that even if you are a ghost, you will be happy!"
Tang was silent for a moment and then said, "I knew that you were a shame of the academy, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. ”
Ning Que pondered for a long time and couldn't understand it, and asked, "What's the solution?"
Tang said: "For example, you are shameless like this. ”
Ning Que laughed.
Tang said: "The future is too illusory to help you make a choice now, so the promise you made with the daughter of Hades has no meaning. ”
Ning Que said calmly: "Take us in, the desolate people will have a very good warrior like me, and the most important thing is that with me, the academy will not join the war against the desolate people." ”
Hearing this, Tang was silent for a long time, and then said, "This is indeed very good, I admit that I am a little tempted, but the Council of Elders may not be willing to take you in. ”
Ning Que said: "You take us back first, I have a way to convince them, if you have been in contact with Xiaotang recently, you should know that what I am best at is to coax the old man." ”
Don handed over the wine bag and said, "Then it's settled." ”
"Is this a celebration wine?"
Ning Que took the wine bag and took a big sip.
