Chapter 15: Enmity with the Son
The next day, Zhong Xihou came out of the pool, dried himself, brushed the white robe from the screen, and put it on. The robe wasn't oversized, or it fit just right. He fastened the buttons one by one, picked up the sword from the pool, and walked out of the bathroom.
"Master Hou, is this too risky?" Qu Tianao was wearing a black martial robe, his sword was on his waist, and in his hand was a set of golden light armor.
Zhongxi Hou took the light armor from the general's hand and slowly put it on. Armor is really not very comfortable to wear, and every time he wears armor in the past, he never sleeps to defend against foreign barbarians. Unlike other military cities in the West, the generals are all in the camp tents to strategize and win thousands of miles, which sounds powerful, but in the eyes of the martial arts, they are still greedy for life and afraid of death. The army of the city that never sleeps, and the people at the forefront of every charge are their city lord and the invulnerable general.
The golden armor is worn on the body, and the joints are well protected, and if you kick and punch, it will be more powerful than when you are naked.
"Tianao, this armor is different from the last time I wore it. ”
"When was the last time Master Hou?"
Zhong Xihou smiled, he forgot, the last time he wore this armor was when he was thirty, and he had been too comfortable in the past few years, maybe he was a little lucky, or not.
"Tianao, you said that your little sister, which part of the Northern Yan Army can be tempered better?"
"Tianqin into Beiyan? ”
Zhongxi Hou was quite interested, looked at the general who was also a minister and friend, and asked, "And the reason." ”
"With all due respect, even if I don't sleep far away from the empire and in a fortress, it will still be a city of the empire after all. ”
Zhong Xihou's hand couldn't help but press the sword again, and kept rubbing the sword with his left thumb that looked like a dragon and not a dragon, Qu Tianao couldn't understand that Hou Ye would do this when he was troubled.
Qu Tianao continued: "There is no shortage of brave and martial arts in my western land, and naturally there are many women, and I don't have a few ······ in the city that sleeps."
Seeing Qu Tianao pause in silence, Zhong Xihou frowned angrily: "You stupid big man, when will you pretend to be this and that in front of me?"
Qu Tianao nodded again and again, and continued: "It's better to let Tianqin go to Lincheng with the Hou Ye, see the world outside, understand the world, and understand the world, and in the future, many strategic talents will be the blessing of my western land!"
Zhong Xihou laughed and clapped his hands, just as he wanted, but suddenly his face was gloomy, and he asked, "Stupid and big, what did Zha Lao say to you?"
Qu Tianao was dumbfounded, hurriedly waved his hand, and forced a smile: "Well, yes, by the way, Hou Ye, no matter what, Tianao will still be Hou Ye's most fierce knife." ”
Zhong Xihou smiled again, looking impatient, the flattery of a stupid person was too monotonous, it was really not interesting, sighed, and said helplessly: "Over the years, for the sake of the lonely city that never sleeps, the king of treachery has stayed in the upper floor of the square circle all year round to give advice to the city that never sleeps, and it has also hurt her. ”
Zhong Xihou's words are also sincere, the most tiring thing in the world is to use the brain for twelve hours a day, except for sleeping, which is much more miserable than using the same time to do tiring work. The trickster Wang is good at conspiring, and finding a Mr. Yangmou to reduce her burden is also Zhongxihou's wish for many years.
Without thinking about it anymore, Zhong Xihou asked again: "Tianao, how old is your sister?"
"Hou Ye only asked a few days ago, Tianqin is seventeen. ”
Zhong Xihou knocked on his head, he did ask him a few days ago.
"Tianao, you are in your early twenties, and you have already practiced kung fu horizontally, and now you can't bear my wind and dance, after I return a year, if you want you to be able to withstand the nine-point strength of the wind and dance, it is possible?"
"Huh? It's not ······." looked at Zhong Xihou's face, which was darker than himself, so he had to nod, and replied helplessly, "Don't you just pull out your teeth, what are you afraid of!"
"If she can live like an ordinary girl, she will be able to wear exquisite makeup. He found a good man to marry one day, a husband and children, and he was warm and happy as plain and bland. ”
"I'm really afraid that she will go out of Xicheng and give me a brother-in-law from other places to come back, and I'm even more afraid that she will be a weak scholar, so I can't beat or scold, I'm really afraid that I can't scold. ”
Zhong Xihou was stunned and laughed out loud. Qu Tianao's words reminded Zhong Xihou that this time he went out, why not find a good man to come back, if it is Lang Jun who Tianqin likes, he will be tied back to the city that never sleeps, and then this Qu family will indeed become the most lively mansion in the city that never sleeps.
Zhong Xihou was still thinking about it happily, and he saw Qu Tianao, who was full of tendons and flesh, jumping like thunder, and the weak brother-in-law held a bamboo slip and pointed at the commander of the Western Land and said sharply: "If the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, he will be a little yellow dog!"
Stories are always interesting, and there are always interesting stories for the big guys.
Zhongxi Hou was in charge of the city that never sleeps, and the drizzly night will be a little lonely. The young Zhongxihou stood in the rain, and his life-precious sword was thrown to the ground, and he held a scimitar in his hand. The rain was washing away the blood on the sword, the blood on the ground, the blood on his body.
The road to power will never be smooth, and the road to survival will always be just a thorny land.
The girl was curled up in the corner, she was crying, she looked up, and she saw that the young man was crying too. The rain hit his face and melted away the tears, and she could still tell he was crying. The boy picked up the sword from the ground, wiped the blood off the sword with his sleeve, and put it in the sheath. He walked over to the girl through the corpses on the ground and held out his hand.
Zhongxihou that year was twenty-one years old!
"Stupid and big, you can be trusted, the empire's fate is about to end, the princes of the world are eyeing it, and the catastrophe is approaching. Zhong Xihou smiled at Qu Tianao again, this kind of smile was something Qu Tianao had never seen, such Zhong Xihou was so gentle. "Lone doesn't dare to say to the Black Armor Army in I Don't Sleep, Lone will let you come back alive and reunite with your family in peace. ”
As they walked, the two of them also walked from their dwellings to the city wall. In front of the city wall is the high point of the general platform, look under the city wall, the city is black and pressing, the kind of black, black thick black heart is black and terrible. The white-clothed Daojun was already sitting on the rattan Taishi chair next to the Dianjiang platform, and in his hand was a unique jade fan. There was a smile on his face, and a kind of indifference.
Shu Nan told Zhong Xihou that he didn't like to kill, that the guilty would be punished by heaven, and that everything in the world was going on according to the record.
He also said that if Zhongxihou can't use the dancing sword, the jade fan in his hand can borrow him Zhongxihou for fifty years.
Qu Tianao followed closely behind him, changed into a military uniform, and the big knife was still on his waist, majestic and mighty like King Kong.
Zhong Xihou slowly walked to the Dianjiang platform, Shu Nan also got up and walked slowly to his side, he asked Shu Nan: "Can you help me?"
"Xiaodao will naturally help the city lord, but the sky is constant, and Xiaodao can't help the world. ”
"If I read the record of the catastrophe in my western region in the Book of Heaven, it means that I can't lead my Black Armor Army to break through this shackle, right?"
"Master Hou, you've already seen it. ”
Zhong Xihou turned his head, he had already read the records in the Book of Heaven? He really didn't have the slightest memory, what was the outcome? Was it a victory or a defeat? He didn't know.
"It seems that your rules are true. ”
"I know everything in the Book of Heaven, including what you want to know. ”
"But you can't say. ”
Shu Nan nodded, he stood up, put away his fan, and looked down at the city.
There are not many troops of 3,600 people, but how many tiger and wolf troops are there in the city of Sleepless? Is there 80,000? This number has never really been announced, and only one thing is known to everyone, the black armor army is terrifying. This army is a black off-string arrow, invincible.
"Once traveled the world on the trail, even the Liang Jiajun, who was called the white crow, was not as heroic as this black armor. It is difficult to miss a sentence in the book, the white crow is good at attacking, and the black armor is good at defending, he just compares the comprehensive strength of the two armies in general.
Zhong Xihou stood up the steps, his left hand pressed on his sword.
"The man of the city that never sleeps is the black armor who protects my western land. so that the city that never sleeps is prosperous, and it is impregnable to attack the outside world. ”
Except for Zhong Xihou's words, Shunan's ears were very quiet, and some were only the sound of the wind, the sound of birdsong, and the sound of his own breathing.
Hearing a high-pitched voice coming from the city wall, the 3,600 black armor that was about to cross the yellow sand to the southwest to raid A(e) Sai was a burst of laughter.
Aren't they afraid of death?
Aren't you afraid that if you leave the city that never sleeps this time, you really leave?
Shu Nan didn't look at the black-armored soldiers, nor did he look at Zhong Xihou, who seemed to be preparing a generous speech on the stage, he was quite interested in Qu Tianao on the left back side of Zhongxi Hou.
The three armies look at one person, and that person is the general.
"When Lone was young, he was incapable of power, and the Black Armor Army still obeyed Lone's orders. In the past, every time before going out, I would say how many people would go and how many people would return, and my grandmother and wife would send each other off with laughter, and the big victory would be reunited and celebrated. This time, too!"
Who is Zhong Xihou talking about? Is it himself? This white-clothed Daojun? Qu Tianao, who has been a friend for many years? Or is this Northern Yan army marching like a black ant?
"I, Xidi Erlang, this time I will return to be lonely and bring back the good news of victory. The city that never sleeps, those three days, will never night party!"
The black-armored soldiers who were about to go out shouted in unison, "The city that never sleeps, the city that never sleeps, the city that never sleeps"!
The cheers rose higher and higher, and Qu Tianao took a few steps to the front left side of Zhongxi Hou, raised his hand, and clenched it into a fist. The black armor under the city wall was silent for an instant. Listen to him: "Xidi Erlang, for the city lord, bring back the news of victory!"
The words fell, and I listened to a neat and high "eh"!
Then, only the horse's hooves were heard, the armor sounded, and the soldiers went further west.
Shu Nan got up from the rattan chair, walked to Zhong Xihou's side, bent his waist slightly, and made a gesture of please, silent, Zhong Xihou nodded, dressed in gold armor and a red sword, and led the black bear-like general Xicheng to the military workshop on the east side of the Dianjiang Terrace.
In the military workshop, there are a total of 33 men, women and young generals, except for the general of the Xuanbao Department, Mo Changtong, and one deputy general and one staff general are not there, and the remaining five general soldiers, eleven deputy generals, and seventeen staff generals wear armor of different colors, but the style is the same, and each wears a cold blade.
The first to come was the stupid big commander Qu Tianao who opened the felt door, and the thirty-three generals looked solemn and straight. Seeing Zhong Xihou, who came in later, dressed in gold armor and wearing a chalete-colored sword on his waist, he stomped on his right foot, his movements were surprisingly neat, his right hand was pressed into a fist against his heart, he bent down slightly and bowed his head, and said in unison: "See the city lord!"
Zhongxihou raised his hand, and the thirty-three generals all took their movements, but their standing posture was still the same, without losing their military demeanor.
"It's not a big deal, but I'll take a look at the generals before I go out of the city. Zhong Xihou swept over the few people present, sighed a few times, and said with a little pity, "Mo Chang, Huyan and Chu Chengqi are not here, it's a pity." ”
The red-armored general in his early thirties hugged his fists and said: "Back to the city lord, the general of Mochang led Deputy General Huyan and General Chu to go to Ah (E) Sai Qingdang." ”
"Oh, well, nothing else, just look at you. After saying that, Zhong Xihou turned his head and was about to leave, when he heard a "plop" sound, followed by a sentence.
"Master Hou, the four divisions of the fire phoenix swear allegiance to the death!" The red-armored general knelt on one knee, and the five red-armored generals behind him also knelt on one knee and bowed their fists, and said in unison, "The four divisions of the fire phoenix swear allegiance to death! Swear allegiance to death! Swear allegiance to ······"
was snatched by Cao Wuving, the chief soldier of the Fire Phoenix, and the leading light blue light armor general on the other side also hurriedly knelt on one knee, and the light blue light armor generals behind him also moved in unison. "The Six Divisions of the Heavenly Spirit swear to follow Lord Hou to the death······"
"Tiger Jiao II swears to follow Hou Ye to the death······"
"Qingluan swears to follow Hou Ye to the death······"
"Xuanbao Wubu swears to follow Hou Ye ······ to the death"
"The three parts of the Golden Phoenix swear to follow Hou Ye ······"
"Swear to follow Lord Hou to the death······"
The tranquility was overshadowed by this unison like thunder in an instant, and Zhong Xihou stood at the door, his face was still the same, without the slightest change, and he opened the felt door and went out.
Qu Tianao looked at the generals dumbfounded, and asked stupidly: "What are you bosses looking at? Why did you become a sworn follower?"
The blood was too much, and it was cooled down, and the thirty-three generals also became a group of stunned youths, right, what are they talking about one by one?
Others didn't know the reason, how could the generals of the Fire Phoenix Four Departments not know.
Why?
The thin monkey who was taught by Qu Tianao every day, although he was a good son in the West, was only a small captain after all. And among the six generals who support the face of the West, there is one person who is also surnamed Mu Sichen!
Qu Tianao chased after him, walked a few steps quickly, and followed behind Zhong Xihou.
"It's time for the four hundred to do something. ”
"Good. Qu Tianao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are there four hundred, what did the Wind Spirit King say?"
Zhong Xihou stopped his steps, smiled at the corner of Qu Tianao's mouth, and did not speak. Qu Tianao frowned, touched his chin, strange, what does it mean?
Four hundred, four hundred! They live in this city that never sleeps, or they come and go in this world. But as long as Zhong Xihou gives an order, they will do anything for him.
These 400 people who were willing to lay down their lives for him were like the famous sword at his waist, and his sword could kill and save people. It is easy for a sword to kill people, but a sword is used to save people, but it is like a mountain road with nine twists and eighteen bends.
"You could have said more. Shu Nan also walked to his side, and on the stage, except for the black-armored commander, there was only this gold and white.
Zhong Xihou watched the soldiers of the first army gradually move away in a heroic manner, and the horse's movements were surprisingly consistent with every step, and he laughed when he looked at it. I heard Zhong Xihou say lightly: "The book is difficult, do you know that my father-in-law gave me ten words before his death, saying that those ten words are my life." ”
Shu Nan naturally knew that Zhong Xihou would not tell him what Zhong Nanyan said, he calculated that the time was just right, and he also looked west, looking at a piece of black armor to the west, which was quite spectacular. Suddenly, a few recruits who were reluctant to give up their homes looked back, and suddenly saw two small dots on the point platform, and an eagle-eyed recruit excitedly shouted to his companions: "Look, look, it's the city lord, the city lord is still seeing us off!"
There was an uproar, one passed ten, ten passed hundred, there was a sound of horses, and a piece of black armor turned back in unison. Immediately afterwards, he brushed a piece, turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and his right fist was against his heart, and his movements were neat and spectacular, like a black wave.
Suddenly, I heard a majestic and loud voice: "Get up!"
Everyone turned over their horses in order, kicked the belly of the horses, and followed the army to the southwest.
Suddenly, a man sang loudly: "Yo, look at the sun in the east······"
Someone then sang: "Eh, it's fallen down the mountain·····" It's still bright at home······" Pick up the moon and slaughter the sand wolf······"
It's the first time I've heard this song, and I've laughed out loud, this song made up by someone isn't catchy at all, and it's a little bit unsmooth.
Qu Tianao also watched the Black Armor Army go west, and suddenly came to Shu Nan's side, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, the Han people have a sentence, can you tell me about it." ”
Shu Nan looked at Qu Tianao with a little playfulness, when did this great general become interested in some Han poetry, and nodded with a smile, motioning him to ask.
"No clothes, enmity with the son?"
Without waiting for the book to answer, Zhong Xihou laughed.
Zhong Xihou looked at Qu Tianao, quite helpless, and then looked at Qu Tianao with an embarrassed face, so he could only smirk perfunctorily, and then said: "How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and share the same enmity with the son. ”
Shu Nan also laughed, stood up straight, and said: "Since the city lord is traveling east, if it is not the will of heaven, how can it be reasonable." Then today, from the small way, on behalf of the heavens!"
The words fell, and the book was difficult to wave the jade fan in his hand, and a white light shot straight into the sky.
Then colorful clouds fell from the sky, and the light was so great that it couldn't help but attract the people in the city, and the westbound black armor couldn't help but stop again.
The colorful clouds gradually converged and took shape, turning into a divine beast that looked like a white horse with antlers, covered in pale blue dragon scales, and stepped on the ice blue fire clouds.
Somewhere in the city, there was a man who looked like a Han scholar and couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at this beast, and said in surprise: "Bai, Bai, Bai Ze." Bai Ze told the will of heaven, and the holy beast knew righteousness. It's actually Bai Ze who is rumored in the book!"
That Bai Ze roared, and then cooperated very well with the book, and spread it to the Quartet in a rough voice.
Do you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.
How can you say that you have no clothes? Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.
Do you say that you have no clothes, and you are clothed with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son
The west lord held the sword and pointed to the platform, and suddenly there were storms and clouds gathering in the sky, descending the divine beast Bai Ze to show the will of heaven. The next day, the west lord took a sword and traveled east to respect the will of heaven.
