The peach blossoms are in full bloom and scorching.

Every year, the wind blows from the other side of the mountain with warmth, and the peach blossoms here are particularly gorgeous, in the countryside, in the houses, in the stone paths and paths where people come and go, and in the criss-crossing alleys. The pink peach petals compete for fragrance, reflecting every face that is more and more joyful.

Therefore, this place is also called Taohuawu. Without the killing of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, there is no nuisance of the bandits, this is like a paradise away from the chaos of the soldiers, the residents of Wubao work at sunrise and rest at sunset, men and women weave, clear and idle, life is peaceful and comfortable.

Lin Ruosi smelled the fragrance of peach blossoms all over the city, and smiled lightly in the warm spring breeze. He is the owner of this peach blossom dock, born in Si, grew up in Si, if nothing else, he will also die in Si.

In addition to the terrain in the deep mountains on the border, the courage and good fighting of the Lin family tribe is also a major reason, the Lin family tribe was one of the beggar troops in the Central Plains in the early years, and after the royal family withered and the territory was lost, he escaped from the world, and built the village with only a few houses into a dock fort of great gold, and as the leader of the Lin family's tribe, Lin Ruosi's shower away from the soul hook has also been a magical achievement.

Three years ago, after Zhang Yan, a giant warrior in Pengcheng, worked side by side with Lin Ruosi to eliminate the ghoul demon who endangered the people, he once said that if it weren't for the fact that Taohuawu had been isolated from the world for a long time, and Lin Ruosi was not well-known in the rivers and lakes, it might be very possible to recite the name of the Double Absolute Five Warriors in the martial arts for a while, and there would be such a young city lord of Taohuawu.

Lin Ruosi is only in his early thirties, and like his name, his appearance is gentle and elegant, at first glance he does not look like a martial artist, he likes to wear a clean white shirt that barely touches a trace of dust, and the jade belt around his waist is said to be given by the Son of Heaven because of the meritorious service of King Qin, and his hands are white and slender, which is obviously the result of paying attention to maintenance, but when these hands wave the family heirloom soul hook, perhaps in the blink of an eye, he can easily take off the head of the extremely vicious bandit.

However, within a hundred miles of the mountains of Taohuawu, there has long been no trace of bandits and robbers, which is also the credit of the Lin clan's long-term suppression of the mountains. Now Lin Ruosi's favorite thing to do is to be on the city wall, watching the beautiful scene of the people in the dock fort working diligently and singing at leisure.

It's dusk, the sun is setting, the peach blossoms of Taohuawu are intertwined with the afterglow of the sunset, and the beauty is intoxicating. When the sun was set behind the mountains, Lin Ruosi decided to go down the city walls, end the day of dutiful city guards, return home, enjoy the pleasure of his son, who had just learned to speak, and hug his beautiful and gentle wife into his arms, and taste the wine she had blanched for himself.

Lin Ruosi's thoughts paused, and he suddenly found two people riding tall horses, slowly pacing here on the bumpy mountain road. In the light that is not too dim at dusk, you can find two people dressed in Lido, not like ordinary guests from the rivers and lakes.

It's just two horses, no matter what the other party's intention is to come here, after all, it can't afford to rise up to the wind and waves, Lin Ruosi first let go of most of his heart, but the careful and cautious vigilance formed by the guards for many years made him still order the sergeant next to him: "Close the dock door tightly, be careful to be on guard, and when people arrive, carefully ask for the intention, and don't be negligent." ”

The gate made of thick wood made a "creaking" sound, and four strong men with big shoulders and round waists pulled up the noose of the gate, and finally the heavy door panel slammed, covering the front of the gate, but under the city, it was a ditch as wide as two feet.

The name of Taohuawu's deep ditch is from this, it is simply imitated by those regular big cities built, if it is not with siege equipment such as "hook aid" and "Linchong", and the army of more than 5,000 people, there is nothing to be done about Taohuawu, this, Lin Ruosi has enough confidence. ...,

However, the two horses in the distance did not seem to be in a hurry, and even different from the ordinary hurried travelers, they were still unhurried, and the horses under them walked gracefully through the mountains, as if they were enjoying the scenery along the way.

After a long time, the two horses approached the city wall of Taohuawu, the two horses were white and black, the horses were extraordinary, and the white horse was a young man with a mink crown and a robe, revealing a handsome face from under the heavy mink crown and crown, with a face like a crown of jade, and the lips were like smearing Zhu, and the expression on his face carried a lazy and indifferent smile, and after meeting Lin Ruosi's scrutinizing eyes, the young man chuckled slightly and bowed slightly, as if he was greeted by an old friend who had been familiar with it for a long time; 。

"Whoosh!" a rattling arrow drew a rapidly falling arc, and was firmly inserted in front of the first white horse, which was the meaning of warning the comer to stop, but the white horse was unconscious, and it was the young man in the ermine crown and robe who pulled the reins of the horse, and the white horse stopped.

"Who's coming?" cried out a strong man at the head of the city.

The young man still smiled and did not speak, and the tall figure on the black horse beside him ripped off the cover of the cloak, revealing a bald head, beardless under the chin, and his face was full of all kinds of strange and mysterious pattern symbols, and replied loudly: "The king of the Great Yan Kingdom is here to hunt!"

Lin Ruosi glanced at the description of the bald man with a hooked nose, he is a Han Chinese, and he has never had a good impression of the Xianbei Hu people, he also knows the current situation, the Great Yan Kingdom is the regime of the Xianbei Murong clan, warlike and murderous, and now it is the season when the young new monarch has not been on the throne for a long time, the king of voodoo has never heard of it, Lin Ruosi's eyes turned to the young man with a mink crown and robe, and saw that he was calm and determined, and his demeanor was elegant, most of them were the bald head said that the king of Fudu of the Yan country was canonized, and it was expected that he was also the new king of the same generation who was canonized after the new monarch ascended the throne.

Lin Ruosi didn't show his disgust for Xianbei people on his face, but just arched his hand lightly and said to the young man: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Da Yan Fudu, disrespectful and disrespectful. As soon as the Wuwu arrives, it is closed to thank guests, and the ancestral system does not dare to change it, but it cannot entertain His Highness, and I ask His Highness to forgive the crime of contempt. His Royal Highness rode out along this mountain road, and there was still time to reach the nearest town to rest. Lin Ruosi estimated that the young King of Volodus went into the mountain to play, and missed the stay, so he guided the way out of the mountain, and Taohuawu and the outside world were neither allied nor connected, so they politely sent away.

The young man smiled again, and when he spoke, his voice was clear, and his tone was handsome: "Mr. misunderstood, Xiao Wang is not hunting here, but hunting here, this hunt has not started yet, why did Mr. drive Xiao Wang away?"

Lin Ruosi snorted softly in his heart, these ruthless and obedient Donghu barbarians should be the hunting ground of the Royal Forest Garden? However, the mountains here are stacked, and it is inconvenient for bows and horses to gallop, especially since the two people in front of them do not hold eagle bows and arrows, nor do they have hunting dogs and harrier eagles, let alone guards accompanying them, what kind of hunting is this? I can't help but wonder.

The last glimmer of the setting sun was hidden behind the heavy mountains in the distance, and the sky was already dark, and the strong men of the garrison at the head of the city began to light torches.

When Lin Ruosi was still thinking about how to send off the young voodoo king of Yan Kingdom, the bald man with a hooked nose raised his hands, facing the already inky black sky, and his mouth couldn't stop Zhang Xi, as if he was reciting something.

In an instant, the light breeze that was originally just a slightly cool spring day suddenly became as piercing as a cold wind, and the wind made a loud noise, making a strange whining sound, Lin Ruosi only felt that his eyes were dark, as if he had immediately entered another world.

Countless black figures of humanoids like rickets curled up appeared beside the two horsemen under the city, and with the cold wind, these black figures began to creep forward as if they were using their hands and feet together. ...,

"Go, enjoy your prey, and dye your feats with blood!" the bald man shouted, raising his palms to the sky with a faint red light, "Use your sharp teeth to cut open the hot belly of your prey, and let the spirit of the god of war shine on your majesty like the light of the sun and the moon!"

The black shadows of the human form let out a ho-ho shout of joy and shot into the dock one by one like arrows from a string, and soon the screams of men, the screams of women, and the cries of children resounded in the city.

Lin Ruosi's eyes were about to split, he wanted to fight to the death, to save his wife and children, to save the people in the dock who were protected by his duty and belief, his silver hook emitted a dazzling brilliance, scorching shadows, the hook blade broke through the air, and the whining cold wind mixed into a more bizarre sound, and the unstoppable momentum even the humanoid monsters in the battle couldn't help but retreat slightly.

The eyes of the young man who was leisurely watching the battle under the city suddenly flashed with a gleam, and his expression became focused and interesting.

Lin Ruosi forced his opponent away, and was about to leap into the city, where the louder and louder shouts had already burned him inside, and he could see that there were many fires in the dock fort, and the monsters were rapidly shuttling in the firelight, and the severed limbs and stumps and flesh and intestines were constantly being thrown up and sprinkled.

Suddenly, Lin Ruosi felt a sudden pain in his chest, and he saw a hand stretched out from his chest, saying that it was a hand, but the sharp nails on his hand were clearly like the claws of a fierce beast, and above the sharp claws, there was also a blood-red pounding thing.

The light in the eyes of the young man, who had been awakened by Lin Ruosi's brave resistance, suddenly dimmed, and he seemed to be depressed: "The soul hook method, but that's it, and the solid city, it's just so ......."

The figure around him flickered, and suddenly the figure of a man in black appeared, kneeling down on one knee in front of the young man.

The young man seemed to have known about the existence of this man in black for a long time, and his expression was not surprised, but he nodded very casually: "What's the matter?"

"Yecheng is in a hurry, Jin Room Huan Wen has violated the realm, and it is menacing, Lord Dazai urgently summons His Highness to go back and ask His Highness to go out with the army. The man in black's voice was a little hoarse.

"Huan Da Sima, I have been admiring him for a long time. The young man's expression was still so indifferent and gloomy, and he gestured to the bald hook-nosed man, "The hunt is over, and the class teacher has returned to the court." ”

......

Lin Ruosi's corpse that lost his heart fell under the city, the flesh and blood on the snow-white placket were blurred, and the eyes were facing this Shura field, and the miserable cries of the peach blossom dock gradually disappeared, and the peach blossom petals everywhere were messy and pink, soaked in the blood that flowed like a stream, and it was even more shocking under the firelight.
