Chapter 143: Mountain Rain is Coming (Part II)
"Haha, okay! My Yue Zhan has a son like you, it is a gift from God, what more can I ask for!" Yue Zhan laughed, but he couldn't hide the sorrow that couldn't be dissipated in his laughter.
"Father, what's wrong with you today? It's not like you used to be. Yue Lu noticed it, and couldn't help but feel a little more worried.
"It's nothing, I just don't know if we can live like this in the future, I feel a little bored. Yue Zhan shook his head, not hiding his worries.
"Father, why do you think so, aren't we still fine now? As long as the Iron Blood City is not broken for a day and the enemy army cannot attack it for a day, we can continue to live like this, right?" Yue Lu was very puzzled, Yue Zhan didn't seem to be casually emotional, which made him feel uneasy in his heart.
"I'm afraid that our days are numbered. Yue Zhan sighed.
Yue Lu was taken aback and asked, "Father, do you know something? Is it that the enemy army is coming over again?"
"Lu'er, do you know what happened in the Imperial City a few months ago?" Yue Zhan didn't answer, but suddenly asked.
"Imperial City?" Yue Lu wondered, why did he get involved in the Imperial City again?
However, he still thought about it carefully, and suddenly said with a happy face: "Is my father talking about the big battle that happened in the imperial city? The child heard that the four great dynasties sent people to the imperial city to provoke, but our emperor led the master of Ouchi to kill him and abandon his armor and return defeated. ”
"Father, does this matter have anything to do with your heart?" After the excitement, Yue Lu returned to business.
Yue Zhan sighed, nodded, and didn't wait for Yue Lu to ask again, so he said: "In the battle of the Imperial City, Tianyang won a great victory, we are naturally very happy, but we must not be carried away by the victory for a while, the four great dynasties came with a high profile, but they returned defeated, and they promised the emperor so many conditions, how could they give up? ”
"Father's worries are not unreasonable, but the child heard that there were many masters of the four great dynasties that time, but they were all defeated by the emperor together, they should also know that my Tianyang is no longer comparable to the past, even if you want to retaliate, you have to weigh it, right?" Yue Lu said.
Yue Zhan shook his head and said: "How can it be so simple, the background of the four great dynasties is much deeper than that of my dynasty, and the previous losses were only due to the fact that they were in the home field of our dynasty and the light enemy, but it does not mean that they are already weaker than my Tianyang, and defeating them will only make them more unwilling and more cautious." ”
"But in the past few months, there have been no enemy troops coming, right?" Yue Lu said, this is a fact, the Blood Moon Army has disappeared for a long time, and it is rare for them to relax a little.
"Because of this, it is even more unusual, Lu'er, for my father to ask you, if you go to attack a city that is not very strong in your opinion, and you do almost win the first time, but then it capsizes in the gutter and is taken advantage of by the other party, what will you do?" Yue Zhan asked again.
"Of course, to correct the mistakes and then to regroup and fight back. Yue Lu said without thinking about it, suddenly he thought of something, suddenly paused, looked at Yue Zhan, and hesitated: "Father, is it ......?"
Yue Zhan nodded, agreed with his guess, and said: "That's what you think, you are still like this, not to mention the Blood Moon Emperor who is in a high position, how can he tolerate such a failure, and temporarily stop, it is very likely that it is for another attack, and once this happens, such an attack will be even more fierce and leave no room for it." ”
As he spoke, he turned to the towering and solemn monument of the martyrs, looked at the names on it, and sighed: "The bloody battles of the past are still vivid, and the souls of the martyrs have not yet completely rested. ”
Yue Lu listened, his mood also became heavy, in front of the power of a dynasty, they were too weak, unless Tianyang sent a strong person to help in time, but when the attack of the blood moon was launched, how could it be in time?
"There is a feeling for the father that the quiet days will not last long, and perhaps soon, the storm will come, and it is difficult to say whether it will be able to stop it then. Yue Zhan's face was solemn, he had this feeling a long time ago, but it was especially strong today, I am afraid that it will be fulfilled.
Yue Zhan suddenly looked at Yue Lu and said, "Lu'er, do you miss your mother and younger brothers and sisters?"
"Yes. Yue Lu nodded, I haven't seen him for nearly ten years, how can I not want to?
"You'll go home tomorrow and see them, it's strange that you haven't seen them for so many years, and by the way, help me bring a message to your mother." When Yue Zhan said this, his eyes flashed, he turned his head slightly, looked up at the sky, and then said: "Let's just say, I have followed me for so many years and wronged her, I miss her, but I can't go back to see her, let her take care of her and take care of her family." ”
The home he was talking about was not the City Lord's Mansion, but a distant village, that is, their hometown, and after he was ordered to garrison Iron Blood City, he did not bring his family over, because it was not safe here.
"Father. Yue Lu looked at Yue Zhan, suddenly smiled, he shook his head, and said firmly: "I won't leave, I want to stay, live and die with Iron Blood City, and with my father." ”
"Lu'er!" Yue Zhan looked at Yue Lu's smiling face, he didn't know what to say, he must have seen his plan, a trip home from Iron Blood City, even if there are good horses, it will take a few months, if the Blood Moon Dynasty really invades on a large scale, Yue Lu can save his life, and he will fight to the death.
What he said just now was actually explaining what was going on.
Yue Lu looked at the martyr's monument in front of him and said, "Father, do you know? Every time I see this stele and look at the name on it, I will think, is it any day, there will be my name on it, and it will be remembered by future generations like the martyrs, or the emperor himself carved it for me." ”
"Since I came to Iron Blood City, I have been prepared to die in battle, although I also fantasize that I can always be safe and reunited as a family, but as a soldier, if death in battle is our fate, I will never choose to retreat and steal it. ”
"The city is here, the father is here, the child is here!"
Yue Zhan looked at Yue Lu with satisfaction, although he was very reluctant to let his son die in battle with him, he was very fortunate to have such a son, and he was proud.
"Okay! This is my Yue Zhan's son, if the blood moon doesn't come, it's fine, if it comes, our father and son will die, and let them know that our Tianyang is not so easy to bully, they can kill our people, but they can't kill our souls!"
"Iron Blood City is still our Iron Blood City. ”
......
The Blood Moon Dynasty, as its name suggests, is full of blood, and even its palace is blood-colored, with a blood-colored moon hanging above the dome of the highest palace, like a blood-colored scythe.
Legend has it that every brick and tile of the Blood Moon Palace is sprinkled with blood spurted after the head of the living, just stepping on it has a bloody breath invading the body, making people become irritable, especially at night, when walking alone, it is even more cloudy and windy, as if there is a remnant of the soul, refusing to leave.
In such an environment, if ordinary people were afraid that they would have been driven crazy, the Blood Moon Royal Family would be able to live with peace of mind, I have to say that their hearts are indeed extremely hard, very comparable.
However, at this time, in the highest palace where the blood moon was hung, there were several people who did not belong to the blood moon here, feeling the lingering bloody breath that filled the nasal cavity, frowned slightly, but did not say anything.
If there were well-informed people here, they would be shocked and shocked to see these people.
There is a person on the main throne, wearing the Blood Moon Crown, wearing the Blood Dragon Emperor's robe, stepping on the Blood Dragon Boots, and faintly surrounded by blood, it is the current Blood Moon Emperor, the Blood Emperor!
In addition, there are three people sitting in the hall, but this does not mean that their status is lower than that of the Blood Emperor, it is just because the Blood Emperor is the host that they sit on the throne.
One person was dressed in the Xuanwu Imperial Robe, his face was majestic, and his eyes looked at the Blood Emperor with a hint of arrogance, he was the contemporary emperor of the Xuanwu Dynasty, the Xuanwu Holy Emperor, and there was another person, dressed in the Qinglong Imperial Robe, who was the contemporary emperor of the Qinglong Dynasty, the Qinglong Holy Emperor.
The last person is a woman, wearing a jewel crown, a light veil mask, but it is still difficult to hide her extremely beautiful face, those beautiful eyes at this time reveal a trace of disgust, but she is well disguised, dressed in fiery red clothes, Vermilion Bird spreads its wings, outlining her beautiful figure to the fullest, but revealing a noble temperament that cannot be desecrated, is the empress of the generation of the Suzaku Dynasty.
The Blood Moon Dynasty, the Xuanwu Dynasty, the Blue Dragon Dynasty, and the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, the ninety-five supremes of the four ancient dynasties, actually gathered in the Blood Moon Palace at this moment, if it was spread out, it would definitely set off a stormy wave, shocking countless people, and there would definitely be many people who couldn't sleep at night and had a heavy heart.
"Today, the purpose of my invitation to you must be clear, right?" the Blood Emperor on the throne spoke at this time, his attitude was not arrogant, nor was he humble and peaceful.
The Xuanwu Holy Emperor actually closed his eyes at this time, as if he hadn't heard his words, although the Vermilion Bird Empress was not so arrogant, but she also remained silent and did not answer, the Qinglong Holy Emperor saw that the two of them did not speak, so he also drank the tea in front of him, and praised: "The fragrance is overflowing, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, it is really a good tea." ”
The Blood Emperor's eyes condensed slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with the posture of the three of them pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he still smiled and said: "The Qinglong Holy Emperor is of good taste, this tea is indeed the best tea in my Blood Moon, otherwise how can it be used to entertain you, if you like it, I will order it to go down and let people send it to your palace, and you can enjoy it to your heart's content." ”
As he spoke, ignoring the noncommittal expressions of the three of them, he changed his words and said, "However, I invite you to come, not only to taste tea, but also to discuss important matters. ”
In fact, they are not foolish people, since they are here, they naturally want to talk, the Blood Emperor has already lowered his posture enough, and they can't be too faceless, at the moment the Blue Dragon Holy Emperor put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Your Excellency the Blood Emperor wants to talk about anything, please speak up, I will listen to you." ”
