Chapter Forty-Six: The Lord of Bishui City
His Royal Highness Wu Guo, the second prince of Wu State, after resolving the rebellion in South Vietnam, came to Qingchen Mountain to pick up the Jin Dynasty and Tang Anning to Bishui City.
Bishui City is at the foot of Yellow Mountain, from Nanling City to the south, there is a secret forest, there is a big road in the forest, and it can be reached by crossing; There is also a trail, in the territory of Wu State, you need to take a boat to cross the eighteen docks of Qiandao Lake, and then take the mountain trail to reach.
Hurried overnight, until dawn, saw a small city in front of me, the city gate engraved with three vigorous and powerful big characters "Bishui City", look at the font should be engraved with a heavy sword. As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see the scorched earth ruins that have been burned by the flames, and as far as the eye can see, there is not a single human population in the city within a radius of several miles. The Jin Dynasty drove the carriage and continued along the main road in the city, lined with charred and collapsed houses. Jin Chao was puzzled in his heart, according to the dust accumulation and burning of the road, not to mention that the fire has been going on for decades, it stands to reason that after the wildfire burns, the growth of grass and trees should be better, but all the way to the center of the city, there is not a single grass and tree, a trace of vitality, completely a lifeless ghost town.
"Lord of the city, Wu Guo asks to see you." The carriage traveled to the center of the city, and Wu Guo stood in the middle of the city and shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, a cloud of black gas condensed and formed around the three of them, and a dark figure gradually appeared, when the black fog dissipated, Jin Chao and Tang Anning could see it clearly, it was a man of about twenty or thirty years old, tall and thin, wearing a dark cloak, white jade as the crown, long black hair, light eyebrows, white lips and nails, like a ghost, and he couldn't find a bright color around him.
Although they knew that the person in front of them was the only elder of the two in this world, Jin Chao and Tang Anning saw that he was like a ghost, and they were inevitably afraid in their hearts, and they were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
Wu said: "The person who promised to help the city lord find it has been found." ”
Shui Yan and Wen Yan were startled at first, and looked at the young man hiding behind Wu Guo, his face was indeed similar to Jin Ge, and then his dead eyes seemed to have some light, and he stretched out his hand to the young man, and asked softly, "Are you Jin Chao?" Don't be afraid, I am your relative. Seeing that the young man's eyes were still in panic, he said, "You are also my relative." ”
Seeing that he was not hostile, Jin Chao cautiously stepped forward, made close contact for a moment, and then relaxed, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the city lord?" Shui Yanhe nodded and replied, "I am!" The Jin Dynasty wandered for many years, and finally met an elder again, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he asked with tears: "Then why don't you come to save us?" Uncle Gao, he died, he asked me to come to you before he died, but I don't know where you are, why didn't you come to me? ”
Shui Yanhe held Jin Chao in his arms, kept comforting, and kept saying: "It's me who is bad, it's me who is not good, it's me who is not good." ”
Tang Anning also slowly walked towards Shui Yanhe, tugging at the corner of his clothes and whispering, "Uncle? ”
Shui Yanhe looked at her, the pair of black round eyes were exactly the same as Gao Chan's childhood, with a begonia in his hair, and he called himself uncle, he didn't have to think about it anymore, and said: "You are the daughter of Cicada and Tang Bai." ”
Tang Anning pursed his lips, his eyes were sparkling, and he said, "Niece Tang Anning has seen the uncle. Shui Yanhe took the two children into his arms, one left and one right, and said, "Good boy, Uncle will take good care of you in the future." ”
Relatives reunited, Wu Guo was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye to Shui Yanhe, before leaving, Shui Yanhe said: "Xiangyang Qu Gaotuo I will bring you a message, the spiritual power of the meteorite in the north has gradually dried up, this year is the last battle of the alien race, be careful!" ”
