Kingdom of Armenia.

The walls of the capital are built with obsidian and earthy yellow boulders in its territory.

The whole city, like a huge megalithic castle, is known as the black pearl of Menia.

It is extraordinarily spectacular and sits in the heart of the Kingdom of Menia.

In the center of the circular city is a gorgeous and white royal palace.

On the walls of the palace, you can sometimes see the predominantly azure blue, interwoven with gemstone decorations of other colors, and many wooden sculptures, with an ancient and primitive atmosphere.

Mitro II, the ruler of Armenia, was in his early forties, with curly brown hair, thick eyebrows, and very white skin.

He wore a crown on his head, a short staff that symbolized power, and a white robe with wide gold threads, and sat barefoot on the throne.

"What did you say?"

Mitro II's speech was slower than that of ordinary people, and every word he spoke was very clear, forming a special sense of oppression.

He had just received the news of the defeat at the front, and his heart was shaken.

You must know that he sent 25,000 elites to Parthia, and the team had officially entered Parthia three days earlier, bringing with them a large amount of grain.

Parthia kept its promise and handed over the city of the estuary to Armenia.

At present, the handover of the city has not completely ended, and there is news of the fiasco of the coalition forces?!

"On the night of three days ago, the Han Chinese army from the east raided our Armenian and Parthian armies, and the eastern army won, while we and Parthia suffered a crushing defeat."

"The latest news is that the Parthian commander Otis has been captured alive, and the general Ross and Gran, whom we sent to Parthia, have been killed."

The minister who reported glanced at Mitro II, whose face was as heavy as ice:

"Earlier, there was also news from the border pass, and there were routs fleeing back from the front line.

The Han army in the east also asked the soldiers who had fled back to bring back the beheaded bodies of Gran and Ross. ”

"What?"

The lord of the kingdom, Mitro, said angrily: "Are they provoking me Armenia? ”

The minister said, "Maybe he wants to warn us." ”

"Arrogant, but just after winning a war, you dare to threaten me Armenia. It is clearly not clear to them that we are a country that grew up in war and has never been afraid of any strong enemy! ”

Mitro snorted coldly:

"Our people entered the western part of Parthia, in the area of the estuary plain.

How could the Han Chinese, who came from the east, appear on the westernmost border of Parthia and attack our ranks?

Have they penetrated all Parthia? ”

The soldiers who fled said that the Han army, which had attacked them, consisted of only four or five thousand men, and that they had secretly entered Parthian territory and fought by surprise. Not only was Armenia defeated, but the tens of thousands of Parthian soldiers and horses were also defeated. The minister responded.

The Lord of Menia was disgraced and said, "Thousands of Han troops, can defeat our 25,000 elites? ”

He couldn't help but ask, "Has the news been confirmed?" ”

The minister said abruptly: "There are also relevant battle situations on the Parthian side, and the situation is more than that.

At that time, an elite of Macedonia, close to 30,000 people, also rushed to the battlefield.

But it was suppressed by the terrible Eastern Han army, and there were thousands of losses without participating in the battle. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, even Mitro felt a chill rise in his heart: "The Macedonian army is also invincible to the Han army......"

The minister bowed and said: "The lord of Parthia, let people gallop thousands of miles, and send the war horn urgently. ”

Mitro had long noticed that the minister was holding a war horn a ruler long and dead gray like a bull's horn.

The Chancellor stepped forward and presented the trumpet.

The lord of the kingdom, Mitro, told him to step down.

When he was the only one left in the hall, he stretched out his hand and integrated his power into the horn.

The next moment, all the prayers on that horn were glowing and slowly lit up.

The void is full of waves.

The lit up on the horn was intertwined with halos, turning into a somewhat vague picture of divine power.

The Lord of Menia was a little surprised.

As far as he knew, the War Horn was a special creation of Parthia that was sacrificed with the art of war, and was divided into three levels of communication.

The easiest way is to use the fusion of divine power to light up different symbols, which can only be used for a fixed and short-term message transmission.

At the next level, there is a short verbal communication.

The last one requires the lord of the kingdom to enter the silver temple of the palace and be blessed by the temple to form a void projection that connects the two ends.

That is, now it is the Parthian lord who is personally pushing the war horn on the other side.

What appears in the picture is the angular face of Mithrida with deep eyebrows and majestic eyes.

"You actually summoned me personally." Armenia is the main road.

The Parthian lord said bluntly: "You should know what is going on.

I can tell you that the problem is more serious than you think, and even my king has been attacked.

I was almost assassinated. You should know that my royal capital has an ancient silver temple, and its defense is far greater than that of your Armenian royal palace.

You can think about it, if the other party attacks you, how can you defend it? ”

Lord Menia narrowed his eyes.

Mithridates added, "I need your help, and we will unite to deal with the Eastern Legions, and the reward is the Eye of Babylon."

You've wanted this artifact for a long time, and I know that. ”

Lord of Menia: "That is our thing, it was you Parthia who took advantage of the collapse of the empire to take it away, and it should have been returned a long time ago." ”

Armenia, including a small part of Macedonia, was part of a Seleucid state in earlier times.

It was the vast empire that Alexander built after his death, and the country that was formed after it was divided.

Like the three divisions of Shenzhou, later, due to wars, regions and other comprehensive reasons, the Seleuc Dynasty also collapsed into three parts.

One of them, still known as Seleucus, had its capital at Antioch, also known as Andi by the surrounding nations, and its influence was far less than it had been at its peak, and it fell apart much earlier than the established historical trajectory.

The border of Andi is located halfway between Armenia and Macedonia.

The alliance army of the Parthian organization, Andi did not participate, and watched coldly.

"I need you to come forward and help me get involved in our alliance.

I'll be in charge of Macedonia. ”

Mithridates said, "You know, if Parthia is further conquered.

And the Han people from the east are aggressive, they fight all the way from east to west, without me Parthia in front of me, the next one is you Armenia. ”

"When the time comes, it will be too late to organize a coalition again, this is the last chance.

We must jointly deal with the threat from the ancient countries of the East. They conquered the city, never left prisoners, the Great Moon Clan was destroyed, you should have received the news, otherwise you would not agree to form an alliance. ”

————

It was noon when Huo Qu returned to the city of Nordyari.

The news that he led his troops deep behind enemy lines and defeated the Parthian coalition army had spread throughout the Han army group of the Western Expedition, passing through the Dayue Clan, the Western Regions, and then to the hinterland of the Central Plains, and sent back to Chang'an.

The emperor was pleased when he heard this, and the officials were overjoyed.

And in Nordyari, Gongsun He and Su Jian welcomed Huo Qubing and others into the city from outside the city.

"Where's my uncle?"

Central City Lord's Mansion, Huo Quzhi asked Gongsun He and Su Jian.

"Two days ago, the general learned that Da Sima had defeated the enemy, Bhutto had withdrawn, and had given up the battle for Nordyari, and the battle had been decided, so he set off back to Chang'an." Gongsun He said.

Huo Quzhi was taken aback.

What could make my uncle rush back to Chang'an so eagerly, and he didn't even have time to wait for him to come back.

His heart sank slightly, and then he thought of the reason: "I want to be alone for a while." ”

Gongsun He and Su Jian retired when they heard this.

There was no one in the hall, Huo Quzhi took out the concentric lotus leaves, and asked, "Qing'er, uncle...... Something went wrong? ”

Her Royal Highness the princess on the other side sat in the embroidered palace, stared at the concentric lotus leaves in a daze, and responded:

"Don't worry, my aunt, like last time, fainted a few days ago and couldn't wake up.

I was afraid that you would be distracted on the battlefield, so I didn't dare to tell you that my uncle and His Majesty meant the same thing. ”

"Last time it was...... The Bai family's recipe was cured. According to the prescription, he has already used medicine, and the ancestor of the Bai family, Doctor Yu, is also on the way to Chang'an. When the father-in-law returns, the aunt will be fine. ”

ended contact with Liu Qing, and Huo Quai's thoughts rose and fell.

The last time his aunt fainted, he felt uneasy, and sure enough, something went wrong again.

He sat in the main hall for a long time, comforting himself: he fainted like last time, and he would wake up like last time...... If my aunt faints, even His Majesty will personally ask about it, and it will be fine......

I don't know what I was doing when I was a child.

He has to be taken care of by his aunt Li, and his feelings are very deep, every time he leaves or returns to Chang'an, the first person to report safety has always been this aunt.

Night falls, and the sky is full of stars.

After the Han army occupied Nordyari, the original city lord's mansion was used as a public office.

The front hall is used for office, and the back hall is used for rest.

Wei Qing left, and Huo Qubing automatically took over the military power of the Western Expeditionary Army.

He suppressed his thoughts and read all kinds of files that the army had deployed in Parthia and the area of the Great Moon Clan.

It was getting late, so he returned from the front hall to the apse dormitory.

The lights in the hall are swaying.

Bai Nanyu was dressed in a plain brocade dress, knelt on the head of the bed, and helped him change into a new bedding. The light and shadow flickered, and the outline of her legs was faintly presented under the skirt, well-proportioned and plump, round like the moon.

Bai Nanyu carried his handwritten soldier's slip with him for storage.

There are clothes and bedding in it.

After joining the army, he added all kinds of things prepared for Huo Quai.

The chores when he was on the march were all taken care of by Bai Nanyu.

Huo Quzhi said: "Don't clean up, I am calm at night, and I may not be able to sleep." ”

Bai Nanyu snorted, got down from the couch, leaned into the jade-colored embroidered shoes on the ground, lowered her head and moved to Huo Quai's side and knelt down: "The general is in a hurry to return to Chang'an, is there an accident?" ”

She has always been thoughtful, and she can roughly guess that there may be something wrong with the Li family.

Bai Nanyu's eyes flickered, reflecting the lights in the hall, and looked at Huo Quai: "Master Hou is worried?" ”

"It's not like that, my aunt just fainted like last time, and I'm fine. Last time, it had something to do with Zonghengdao, but today's Chang'an is different from the past, His Majesty is in Chang'an, this time it should not be done by Zonghengdao. ”

Huo Quzhi said: "During the period of fighting outside, there has been no rest for days, you rest early, I will call you if there is something." ”

It's dark.

Huo Quzhi opened his eyes from the practice.

A figure entered the city of Nordari from outside the city.

He took a step and came to the City Lord's Mansion.

The person who comes is empty samadhi.

He took the battle appearance, and he looked like an ordinary person.

The next moment, the empty samadhi appeared in front of Huo Quzhi.

"How's it going?"

The empty samadhi went to attack the Parthian capital, except for attacking Mithridates II, and had other purposes.

He only rushed over at this time to join Huo Quai, and in the past few days, he has also been exploring targets, involving Parthia, Macedonia and other countries.

"I fought with the Parthian lord and obtained his blood. Then, with the main body's Li Dai Taozhu technique, he replaced his blood and integrated it into himself, and he was able to enter the Silver Temple. ”

An eye emerges from the center of the empty samadhi's eyebrows.

There are countless tiny mantras flowing in the pupils of his eyes, which are the scriptures of the Vedas.

When these verses shine and interweave into the void, they form a picture of time and space against the current, reflecting the Parthian palace.

Three days ago, the empty samadhi broke into the royal capital and fought fiercely, and then retreated on the surface, but in fact it was dormant in the shadows.

When the Parthian lord left the silver temple, the empty samadhi appeared outside the temple.

The Silver Temple has a powerful forbidden existence, and only the Parthian Lord can enter and exit.

After the empty samadhi approached, he used the blood obtained from the fierce battle to severely damage the Parthian lord as a medium, and shared the military skills of the main body Huo Quai, and used a series of tricks to hide the sky and cross the sea, fish in troubled waters, and Li Dai Tao stiffened and blessed himself.

The prohibition of the Silver Temple was concealed, and the empty samadhi infiltrated the temple.

"At the beginning of the battle, when the Lord of Parthia was in the temple, I tried to force my way in, but without success.

With him to promote the fortunes of the country, the power of the Silver Temple is very strong, and I only succeeded in entering it when he left. ”

"There's something found in the temple."

As the empty samadhi in the picture enters the temple, the scene inside the temple is also presented.

Empty Samadhi took out an artifact: "It was taken out of the temple, and the Parthians believed that it was something that God had left in the world." ”
