102 The battle has begun, and the storm is coming
The next day, Xue Buyu opened his eyes from the soft swan gold silk quilt, looked at the colorful clouds above the bed, silently distracted, and carefully felt the life of this rich and noble family.
Mo Yan shouted outside the door, "Senior brother, are you up?"
Xue Buyu hurriedly responded, dressed neatly, the servant brought in the water, cleaned his face, and went straight to the residence of the handsome Shang Teng with Mo Yan.
The wind was bitterly cold, and the heavy snow on the streets had been swept away and piled up on the side of the road.
Pedestrians came and went in a hurry, and there were homeless people curled up in the corners of the roadside, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Xue Buyu looked up at the dusky and low clouds, couldn't bear to glance at the homeless people who didn't know their life and death, and sighed: "What kind of crime did the people have? ”
Mo Yan said as he walked: "More than ten years ago, my country was strong, and the Son of Heaven sent troops to attack everywhere in order to show his prestige, and the people of the surrounding countries were also miserable.
Now, the situation has reversed, and the people of our country have suffered calamities, hey! Ambition and desire are endless, and only the vast immortal road is the way to escape!"
Xue Buyu listened to it, and secretly pondered to himself, since ancient times, the mortal world has been full of wars, the people have been miserable, and occasionally there have been eloquent monarchs who have appeared to dominate the country, but how can the people have a stable life?
It's just that this fairy road is ethereal.
If you want to escape from this rolling red dust, I don't know what year and month it will take?
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Shang Teng's residence.
The high wall and the red gate, the soldiers and armor come and go, there is no need to go into detail, the two went straight inside to see Shang Teng.
When the guards saw Mo Yan, they didn't stop him, they knew each other for a long time, and they respected him very much, and they didn't ask what happened, so they took the two of them in directly.
Shang Teng is over thirty years old, his unkempt hair is spreading, his face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, his eyes are like the water of a deep well, he is nine feet tall, with an ape arm and a wolf's waist, a fiery red chain armor is worn on his body, and a golden phoenix spreads its wings and flies on his chest, but it is majestic and mighty.
It's just that the dark circles under his eyes, the sunken eye sockets, and the bloodshot eyeballs all show that during this time, he was under great pressure and couldn't sleep well.
At this moment, he was staring at a plate of sand and pondering carefully, and when he heard Mo Yi coming, he hurriedly greeted him out of the house and said, "Immortal Chang can come, Tengpeng is shining." ”
Mo Yan looked at Shang Teng, who had a haggard face, and knew that he was ashamed because of his busy military affairs and the defeat in the war.
After all, the Fengming Army is one of the four main battle legions of the Blue Dragon Empire, and it is the magic weapon of the Green Dragon Empire to deter neighboring countries.
It's just that he is unlucky, he is not only facing the most powerful frozen army of the Frozen Empire, but also Pan Yushan, who can wrestle with the Imperial Flying General Ma Yan.
Moreover, his prestige in the Frozen Empire was higher than Ma Yan's prestige in the Blue Dragon Empire.
The Emperor of the Frozen Empire favored him very much, and gave him a fake festive knighthood, but he could kill officials who disobeyed discipline without asking for instructions.
It is passed by the decree of the Frozen Legion, and it is easy to command.
Shang Teng invited the two of them in, and after sitting down, he arched his hand to Mo Yan and asked: "The immortal chief is here, there must be something important, please ask the immortal chief, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!"
Mo Yi nodded and introduced to Shang Teng: "Dashuai, this is my classmate of the division, surnamed Xue Shuang's name is silent, he came from the Huwei Army, and he has something important to report." ”
Shang Teng looked at Xue Buyu, and saw that his eyes were full of light, and he was also quite respectful, and said politely: "Immortal Chief, I don't know what is important here?"
Xue Buyu talked in detail about He Yi's plot and the retreat of the Yangwei army for no reason, and asked, "General Shang, I don't know if anything unusual has happened recently?"
Shang Teng pondered for a while and said, "Immortal Chief, everything is normal here, and nothing strange has happened. It's just~"
He stumbled, his face showed a suspicious look, and he frowned and continued: "Immortal Chief, there have been a lot of Jianghu warlocks in the city recently, somehow?"
Xue Buyu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh?
Shang Teng smiled bitterly and said, "Immortal Chief, although there are quite a few of them, Chongcheng is even larger.
When these people entered Chongcheng, it was like a stream flowing into the sea, and it was difficult to find them! At present, it has only been found that most of them are people from the rivers and lakes of our country, and there are also some warlocks from other countries. ”
Mo Yan's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Bu and asked, "Has the civil fight already begun?"
Xue Buyu frowned and thought for a moment, his face was heavy, and he said, "Maybe so, I don't dare to assert it!"
Shang Teng's eyebrows jumped, and he was puzzled when he listened, "What kind of fight?"
Xue Buyu didn't answer, he was very worried in his heart, and the wish in his heart was just a coincidence, but he also understood that the fight that the senior brother said might have begun!
He solemnly said to Shang Teng: "General Shang, during this time, it is even more necessary to strengthen the patrol in the city, and strictly guard against these people in the rivers and lakes, there is a possibility that the disaster has already started." ”
Although Shang Teng didn't understand what he meant, in this eventful season, it was necessary to take more precautions.
He said solemnly: "It should be so, the Immortal Elder doesn't have to worry about it, I will immediately order the subordinates to investigate strictly." ”
Several people were talking about military information in the house, and a big man walked in outside the door.
Xue Buyu looked at it fixedly, this big man had a light purple face, only six feet tall, a thick beard sprinkled on his chest, wearing the same fiery red armor as Shang Teng, but there was a silver phoenix tattooed on his chest, which was lifelike.
He walked into the house, like a short bear, moved forward, sang to Shang Teng, and saw Mo Yi and Xue Buyu again, walked to the table by the wall, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at everyone.
Shang Teng didn't care about his rude behavior, and said, "General Zhang, what have you discovered?"
The man replied: "Great Marshal, the Frozen Legion is still moving, presumably trying to wait for the snow to melt before attacking. But today, something strange happened in the city?"
Shang Teng was taken aback, remembering what the two of them had just said, he was not shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What's the strange thing?"
The big man shouted, "I'm tired to death!", found a chair and sat down, and looked at the three people mysteriously: "Dashuai, Immortal Chief, are you saying this thing is strange?"
It turns out that this big man's name is Zhang Xinchang, who is the deputy marshal of the Fengming Army, although he looks as clumsy as a bear, but he is a good hand in battle, and his mind is flexible and changeable, which can be described as Shang Teng's arms.
Today he took people out to inspect it, and just after returning to the city, he just wanted to rest, and some of his subordinates came to report that there was a corpse in the deep alley in the northeast of the city.
It stands to reason that the homicide case should be managed by the yamen, but the big war is imminent, and those arresters in the yamen have formed a team, so it can only be controlled by the military.
At present, the great enemy has a daily curfew in the city, and the people are panicked, and there is no one to fight, let alone this murder!
On a whim, Zhang Xinchang went to the scene to see the corpse.
The intricate alleys were only six feet wide, and the roads were connected, and under one corner, an old man in a green robe lay in the thick snow, his body stiff, and he had lost his breath.
Zhang Xinchang stepped forward to take a look, and saw that Lao Dao's face was bruised, his eyes were open, his face was frightened, and he was holding a talisman seal in his right hand.
The money and possessions were all on the body, and there was no trace of anything around the corpse except for the footprints of the soldiers.
He began to think it was a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't care.
Until one of the soldiers lifted the corpse, he exclaimed: the chest area was empty.
Several people ripped off the old shirt, and the terrible thing was that his chest had been hollowed out, his heart was missing, and the strange thing was that not a drop of blood was spilled.
After he finished speaking, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he said nervously: "My Lao Zhang has killed countless people, that time was not bloody, such a strange thing, it is the first time I have seen it in my life." ”
After a pause, he said in a heavy tone: "I don't have any blood!" You say, 'Is this strange?'
Shang Teng's face also showed surprise, looked at the big face in front of him, and asked, "Has this old Tao's life history been investigated?"
Zhang Xinchang shook his head and said, "During this time, there are many people in the rivers and lakes in the city, and there are many Taoists. When they came, the brothers had checked and found that they had all the way.
His grandmother's, as soon as something happened, it was all gone, and he couldn't find out where it came from. ”
A few people were talking about strange things, and a small soldier hurriedly ran outside the door, and when he saw a few big people, he quickly knelt down: "Report to the commander! General Fei is no more!"
