Sitting beside Zhongxi Hou rubbing dim sum thin monkey Mu Sichen looked at the clouds and mist, and said dumbfounded: "No, this is not the Great Commander······"

Xiao Liang coughed a few times, stuck his guns on the ground and the carp rolled, patted the dust on his body after getting up, and the corners of his mouth began to slowly flow blood, just look at him "Bah" spit out a few mouthfuls, all of them were blood, and then look at him, and walked to Zhong Xihou to kneel on one knee like no one else, as if waiting for Zhong Xihou to give an order.

Zhong Xihou put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "No, it was Xiao Liang who lost, and he deserves to be the first warrior of the Lonely City that never sleeps." ”

Xiao Liang clenched his fists tightly, not daring to refute.

Or the Mu Sichen who rubbed the dim sum, walked to Qu Tianao's side, looked up and down, strange, why did Qu Tianao say that he lost?

"Commander, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Qu Tianao's eyes turned to him, and his body still didn't move, this stupid boy was also stunned. didn't figure out the situation, and was stunned to pat Qu Tianao's back so hard.

Seeing that Qu Tianao's body was unstable, he staggered a few steps, and then stabilized. immediately covered his neck and scolded: "You dead rabbit cub, Lao Tzu's neck has been cut, and if you are lucky to stabilize it, I will give you a slap and shake it open······"

Mu Sichen didn't understand, looking at Qu Tianao's hand covering his neck, blood really flowed out through the cracks in his hands.

Zhongxi Hou ordered Xiao Liang to get up, poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, first teased Qu Tianao, then looked at Xiao Liang, and said, "Although they are not of the same race, they are in the same west after all." Whether it's a wolf or a bear, if the hunters set up camp here and the wolf's den is gone, how can the bear's den continue to be safe and sound. ”

He gently patted Xiao Liang on the shoulder and continued: "Although Tianao is a big old man, his ability is not blown, even if he is alone, it is impossible to win him easily. ”

"Oh, I recognize ······" Or Mu Sichen, who kept causing trouble, saw him pointing at Xiao Liang and being emotional, and said, "He, isn't he the cub of the Yan Hude family who won the city lord with a sword the year before last?"

Everyone's eyes widened, including Qu Tianao, but Zhong Xihou looked calm and didn't seem to care at all. Another soldier slapped the man on the head and scolded "what are you yelling about". Mu Sichen looked at everyone a little innocently, and that expression couldn't help but provoke Zhong Xihou to laugh out loud again, and he nodded and said, "Yes, the young master of the Yan Hude clan, Yan Hude Liang, is also the wolf king of the three states in the future!"

"Wolf King?" Qu Tianao muttered in his heart, it turned out that this kid was the Wolf King, no wonder he always felt that he had a similar trait to the three little cubs when he saw this kid, it turned out that this kid was the Wolf King.

After a moment of silence, Qu Tianao walked over and patted Xiao Liang's shoulder hard, and at that moment, Xiao Liang's body leaned to the side a lot. After listening to his rough voice and laughing a few times, he joked: "It's amazing, I'll just say that Xiaoxi has no ability, so I don't think I'll lose a loss······"

"Qu Tianao, what did you just say?" Zhongxi Hou said sharply.

Qu Tianao's eyes widened, and he kept blinking and stammering: "What, what, what, I heard it wrong, I heard it wrong, I heard it wrong, I ······ it." Qu Tianao's eyes rolled, and he immediately changed the topic, "City Lord, Yan Hude, this kid is so powerful, why didn't you see him show up before?"

Zhong Xihou could naturally see that he could understand Qu Tianao's nonsense again, who were his subordinates, and it was not clear what this product was? Even if he hadn't seen it, he didn't believe that he had reported the word "wolf king", and Qu Tianao didn't know who this Xiao Liang was.

"He's he? He wandered between the capitals of Jingzhou and was very busy. Muschen, Muschen······" Zhong Xihou shouted a few times, but still no one responded, Qu Tianao couldn't help it, and in the past, he just smacked the head of the armor who rubbed snacks and caused trouble.

This person called Mu Sichen is also depressed, how can he be stunned today that everyone likes to beat him, and hurriedly ran over, looking at Zhong Xihou with his eyes.

"Leaving the city tomorrow, you tell the old man to take care of all the big and small affairs, by the way, this year the ancient wood forest will not have to go to the logging. ”

Mu Sichen seemed to be still thinking about things, a little absent-minded, and just replied "eh".

Zhong Xihou couldn't look at it, and his fingers were bent and he was about to come up to his head, Mu Sichen dodged back and said, "Don't, I'm thinking, City Lord, Ah Ha mentioned a person to me before, and the more I feel that this person seems to be Yan Hude, but what is the reason?"

"Are you Aha the Wind Breaker General Mu Sichen Murder Heaven?" Yan Hu Deliang suddenly asked, Mu Sichen nodded vigorously, and then listened to Xiao Liang say lightly, "Then everything he told you is true." ”

Mu Sichen was even more puzzled, what was he going to say, he was pushed away by Qu Tianao, that anger! Obviously, they all grew up in the same clan and one place, but they were only ten years old, but Qu Tianao looked like a bear, and he was like a monkey.

Zhongxihou no longer cared about Mu Sichen's doubts, and continued to instruct: "Qu Tianao, Hai Lasu, Guan Cheng, and Mu Sichen, don't forget to make up with the elders after you go back, the autumn wind has risen, it's time to falcon." ”

Mu Sichen's eyes glanced at it, but he didn't pay attention to it before, it turned out that he was surrounded by Zhong Xihou on the north side of the martial arts arena today, counting the seven people including him and Qu Tianao, all of whom were the younger generation of the four major families. Instinct made him feel that the city lord was afraid that he was going to do something big when he went to Lincheng, and the blood of the young man of Fanbang was ignited, and he was the first to respond: "Eh!"

After Qu Tianao went home, he was stupid and mouth-opening at the dinner table, but fortunately, the old general Qu was not bad, and immediately hit Qu Tianao with chopsticks, and shouted: "Eat without saying anything!"

Seeing that the old man was angry, Qu Tianao didn't say much anymore.

Qu Tianao walked out of the room, and was about to go for a stroll on the street, or go to Mu Sichen, or find Mo Chang, and after a few drinks, he would think about which daughter-in-law's place to give birth to a baby tonight. The little sister Qu Tianqin had already blocked the door, this time Qu Tianqin couldn't say anything, someone grabbed her before her, a domestic servant was ordered to invite Qu Tianao to the old general's room, saying that there was something important, how could Qu Tianqin ask the temptation, the servant was stunned and couldn't pry it open.

Qu Tianao went to the place of the old general Qu as if he had escaped a catastrophe, and only then did he enter the door, and the old general stared at him viciously, so frightened that Qu Tianao immediately knelt on the ground.

"When will your mouth be as firm as your pimple meat, and when will the city lord get up and come to the city?"

"Tomorrow, ······ tomorrow"

"Gone?"

"Master, it's strange today······" Qu Tianao was about to stand up, and when he saw General Qu's eyes, he immediately knelt down again, "Today, Xiaoxi actually called the three boys of Mu Sichen and Hailasu's family to join Guan Cheng and that slave to the martial arts arena. ”

General Qu suddenly had a god in his eyes, and that kind of look was not like a person who had lived for almost a hundred years. He immediately asked: "Call you and other juniors, what did the city lord say?"

"What, the autumn wind is coming, it's time to falcon. You understand······"

"The autumn wind rises, falconry season. This wind has been blowing for so many years, and it is time to blow to the city that never sleeps. ”

"Huh?"

General Qu took a sip of tea and said, "Get up." ”

Qu Tianao responded stupidly, stood up and sat aside, eating a small snack while waiting for General Qu to continue. Old General Qu looked at his grandson, who was just tall and didn't have a brain, and couldn't help but feel funny, but he smiled a little bitterly.

His wry smile was because he felt sorry for Zhong Xihou. He especially remembered that strange year, the desert actually snowed, although not a few feet thick, so that he could build a snowman and have fun like when he went to Bangfeng City when he was young.

But after all, this is the city that never sleeps in the West, and it is snowy and windy, and almost no one wants to walk outside.

He accompanied Zhong Nanyan, who was less than forty years old, from the south with a camel and horse, and actually saw the fire and wolf smoke in the neighboring village. Just like this, a lord and a minister, a sword and a halberd killed all the bandits and eighty-seven people, and in the end only found a living person, a doll thrown into an empty wine vat. The cry was miserable, even the two of them who had been fighting on the battlefield for such a number of years couldn't help but feel distressed.

On a snowy night, accompanied by a full moon like a glass plate, a lord and a minister returned to the west, and Zhong Nanyan, who was covered with snow, looked at the doll in his arms wrapped in his robe, and said softly: "Son, let's get home." ”

Zhongxi Hou, born in the city that never sleeps, and a person who never sleeps in the city.

"Now that the autumn breeze is coming, it's time for you to know. Tianao, Qu Jia, Mu Sichen, Hai Lasu are still related to the family, what do you think is the connection?"

Qu Tianao pondered, shook his head, nodded again, and said, "Both are rich······

As soon as these words came out, the old general was so angry that he immediately smashed Qu Tianao with pastries, and then he was angry, and then said: "Our four families are where the lifeline of the city that never sleeps, and one is indispensable, if one is not loyal, the city will die." Similarly, if the four families work together, they can also force the palace to give way. My Qu family is the main soldier, the Mu Sichen family is more than a minister or a pavilion elder, although the Hailasu family is rich and rivals the country, but their wealth is just to hide people's eyes, although their treasury and the city lord's mansion are separated by four streets, they can go down, and they are connected. ”

"Huh, why didn't the road collapse?"

General Qu is so angry, obviously he has a few brothers, and the next few boys are all capable of literature and martial arts, how come it is that when it comes to his grandson's generation, even if Qu Tianao is a handle, he is still a nervous person who can't understand words. Teach it slowly, that's the only way.

"In recent years, the Hailasu family has continued to open shops in cities all over the world, not for money. Calculating the time, it has been seventeen or eighteen years, and the copper and iron have been continuously collected, and now the ······ accumulated in the city that never sleeps"

"Are you going to fight?" The door was pushed open, and Qu Tianqin rushed in and asked, which frightened Qu Tianao and fell off the chair, shocking the old general Qu.

"You, you, what are you going to do?"

"Master, what is the city going to do with so much copper and iron?

When Qu Tianao heard the little sister say this, he also patted his thigh, stood up and said, "Yes······"

The old general looked at his youngest granddaughter, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and his voice was slightly brisk, and said, "Okay, close the door and take you two to a place." ”

When Qu Tianqin heard that his grandfather didn't blame, he suddenly became energetic, closed the door, and waited for orders. The old general led the two into the inner room, lifted his bed, pressed down a piece of bed, and the whole bed was divided into pieces, and then sunk one by one, and then scattered to both sides, revealing a hole about four feet long and wide. The old general threw the quilt and pillow into it, and then the man jumped into the hole, and the brother and sister followed him.

General Qu opened a stone slab on the side, and in an instant, a ray of light shot out, and the brother and sister instinctively closed their eyes. Slowly getting used to the light, when he opened his eyes, it was actually a luminous bead larger than Qu Tianao's fist, and the place illuminated by the light emitted was more effective than a torch.

General Qu pressed a tiger head carved on the side again, and the bed boards were put back one by one. The old general put the pillow quilt on the bed board one by one, and pressed the tiger's head, and the bed board gradually rose again, and the hole was also sealed, so smooth that no gap could be seen.

Qu Tianao's brother and sister were dumbfounded, they really didn't know that there was such a place under the bed in the old general's room. Although Qu Tianao is stupid, his memory is not bad, no matter how he looks at it, he feels that the way to open the door of this secret room is similar to the secret room he found in his uncle's room with Helasu when he was a child. However, his uncle's secret room was actually a collection of forbidden books in the Spring Palace, and those days were really wonderful.

As the old general slowly walked forward, Qu Tianqin didn't feel anything, and Qu Tianao was not so comfortable. It was the first time he had noticed that it was not a good thing to be proud of being so big. In this aisle, he can only try to keep his arms close to his body and bow his waist slightly to ensure that he does not touch his head and does not rub it.

It's finally empty, it's a room, and it's only four zhang long and wide, but fortunately, it's more than half a zhang high, and it won't be depressed. The old general put the night pearl in the mouth of a dragon head carving, and then broke the dragon's claws down, and slowly turned out a total of twelve dragon heads from the surrounding stone walls, each dragon head had such a luminous pearl in its mouth, and the whole room was bright.

"Originally, this matter could only be said when Tianao became the patriarch, but since the city lord has said that the time has come, it is the same to tell you now. I'm afraid that tonight, the other three families are also doing the same thing as Lao Er. ”

Qu Tianao had a strong sense of mission for the second time in his life, the first time was when he was awarded the rank of general, and this time, I am afraid it will be even more exaggerated.

"If you know, I will tell your brother and sister as it is, you don't need to ask questions, I'm afraid you don't know what you ask. The old general took out a bamboo slip from the stone box on the side, and there were not many words engraved on it, but the Qu Tianao brother and sister were shocked to see it.

"The dragon clan is not benevolent, and we take our clan as fish and meat. Now the flesh and blood of the hands and feet are used as stones, and the walls of the west are built. Gather wealth in all directions, trade in the world, and hold the lifeblood of the empire in the palm of your hand. When the autumn wind rises, falconry season. ”

"Rebel ······"

Qu Tianao's beads almost popped out of his eyes, and the bloodshot gradually became dense, he slapped himself a few times and asked, "Master, this, this is the former city lord······"

"How could it be written by Anan, this, this is the testament of the Dugu City Lord. ”

"Dugu Shaohua, he, he's not ······"

"Tyrant?" Old General Qu smiled, he naturally understood that Qu Tianao's brother and sister would have this reaction, "The ferocity of Dugu City Lord is not to lead the troops and lead the generals, and destroy the three and nine states. The most cruel thing about him is that after killing three times and nine states, he has to face those who have taken their homes by him every day. ”

Qu Tianao didn't understand, he only knew that Dugu Shaohua's adopted son, Zhong Nanyan personally killed his adoptive father and inherited the position of city lord, and began many reforms and changes.

But Zhong Nanyan secretly had been more merciful than Dugu? Three times and nine states, he was forcibly exterminated by him and became three and five states.

"If the Dugu City Lord didn't do that, then not only the Nine States, but even the City That Never Sleeps would be annexed by the Empire, and from then on there would be no more cities in the West, and no more oases in the yellow sand. ”
