Part 2 Ups and Downs in the Southwest Chapter 96 Funeral (I)
More than twenty days later...
It's the night ...
Ice City...
The wind and rain are blowing...
The city is low, although the area of this Bingmang City is large, but the first impression is that the foundation is insufficient and the strength is not good.
How to describe it? The city wall is only five zhang high, almost a height that ordinary people can climb with their bare hands. The stone material is not good, and there are no patrol sentry posts, let alone city defense facilities.
In the past half a month, Chen Jinzhi and his day by day have been spent in the air, from Iron Mountain City to this Ice Mang City, there are almost 100,000 miles, even for the Eagle of the Broken Sky that travels thousands of miles a day, it is really too far.
Chen Jinzhi got closer, and in the heavy rain, he saw that the soldiers and horses in the city were in a hurry, and there were almost no lights, and as for the people, they were already displaced. The rice paddies outside the city were devastated by the trampling of iron hooves, and the weeds were wild and barren.
As for such a situation, Chen Jinzhi had already expected it. After a little calculation, it can be seen that Chen Jianwen has only established this Bingmang City for more than ten years at most, but because he himself is a second-stage king, he can barely be regarded as a first-class force in the west. But Chen Jianwen is dead, even if Bingmang City does not have civil strife, this strength is not second-rate, and it is difficult for the last second-rate. And the western part of the northern realm has been a place of chaos for hundreds of years, and Bingmang City at this time is like a piece of fat in a group of hungry wolves, and everyone must want to take a bite.
This is why Chen Jinzhi came to Bingmang City thousands of miles away.
"Don't go down yet. ”
Seeing the desire to swoop down day by day, Chen Jinzhi. The rain rolled down his long hair onto his robe, dripping down his cheeks. Sun by day then fluttered his wings and flew upwards with his head held high.
Let's say, at this time, in Bingmang City, in a small building that is a little shabby.
A group of people sat crowded, led by a woman in filial piety clothes, who had a bit of a posture.
"Madame... ”
The rest of the people were also dressed in linen and filial piety, and one of them bowed his head and said worriedly, but was stopped by the woman's eyes.
"What do you say from the outside?"
The woman asked in a cold voice, at this time, it happened to be a flash of lightning, and the thunderbolt-like thunder split through the chaos, startling everyone in this small building bowed their heads and bent over, thinking that someone from outside had attacked.
No one dared to respond, a few people only promised, and the rest remained silent.
“。。。 ”
The woman was speechless, her slender nails slamming against the table like delicate willow leaves. Looking back behind her, the maid was holding a sleeping child in her arms.
This woman is Chen Jianwen's wife, although the Western Coalition Army is still tens of thousands of miles away from this Bingmang City, but the news of Chen Jianwen's capture seems to have grown wings, and it turned out to be back!
Nine out of ten of those captured by the Ouyang clan died in prison, and the remaining more than one percent were used as strong men to work as coolies under the "mountain furnace".
For a king like Chen Jianwen, there is no second possibility except death.
However, Chen Jianwen's descendants were all outside, and those who remained in this city, led by a great knight Sanduan, openly launched a rebellion.
Therefore, the woman and this group of people from her own family were probably some people from the Chen clan who were lucky enough to get away from Hundred Swords City back then, and they were crowded in this small building in embarrassment, hiding with some formations.
"Let's go. ”
After drinking a cup of tea, the woman stood up straight, as if she had made up her mind.
"Madame... This... ”
There are also people who are submissive and worried.
"Take care of him. ”
The woman put on her cloak and affectionately touched the white and tender little face of the child in the maid's arms.
Immediately, she sniffed, as if crying, and opened the door and went out.
Everyone in the room was stunned, and everyone looked at the thin figure of the woman, and they all shook their heads. Eventually, one of the older men gently took the child from the maid's hand, and the crowd quietly slipped out the back door.
Almost as soon as she went out, the woman was all over her body. It's just soaking wet, and the rain is bizarre. She struggled to lift the hem of her skirt, but the drainage in the city was so poor that the water was almost knee-deep, so it was to no avail.
"Yo, Madame is out!"
In the distance, several people stood in the air, sneering. And on this street, the sergeants are as immobile as a mountain, they were once the garrison of this ice city, but now they are in trouble...
In addition to the rebellion within, there are people from other cities!
The woman raised her head and looked, only to see a few fresh faces, and a few teams of soldiers, the armor she wore was very different from the armor of the Bingmang Chen clan, as for the flag, through the lightning and thunder, the bright light of the moment was faintly visible, in short, it was not the flag of the Bingmang Chen clan.
"My husband treats you well. Why is it so bitter ... ”
The woman spoke, and her voice was cut off by the wind, and how helpless she was in these few words!
"Hehe, this figure is good... ”
In the rain, I suddenly heard a person laughing.
"Get this little lady to the military prostitute camp. ”
Someone chimed in, smiling maliciously.
"What do you mean by that word? The joy of fish and water, let's go to Wushan together. ”
The rebel who cultivated as a third-stage knight said, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"But what's so good about learning a few new terms?"
Someone said disdainfully. The few people in the air made a fuss for a long time, and then they looked at the woman on the ground again.
The woman, however, seemed to be extremely calm, and did not speak, but kept her head bowed silently.
"Go and arrest her. ”
In the air, a man waved his hand. Immediately, several figures that were about to move flew out, all of which were the cultivation of the Knight Realm.
"I forgot to tell you, ma'am. ”
The rebel suddenly spoke in an extremely disgusting tone:
"That kid can't run away, hahahahaha... ”
The sinister laughter sent shivers down the sleeve of the woman.
However, at this moment, suddenly a white light streaked by, followed by a deafening thunder, like thousands of giant beasts roaring in anger.
This lightning swept across the sky in a hideous diagonal line, dividing into countless tiny, dazzling rays of light, like a chaotic net, shrouded in it.
Heaven and earth, at this moment, are full of strange whiteness. Almost all of them hid their faces with their hands, instinctively avoiding them.
The few people who wanted to rush towards the woman also took half a step back, but when they came back to their senses, they were surprised to find a black figure, almost integrated with the night, standing in front of the woman. Who is this? Chen Jinzhi is also.
"Who?"
The few people in the air then noticed it, and shouted in unison.
Chen Jinzhi did not answer. The raindrops seemed to be more energetic, and they smashed down on their heads and faces, but Chen Jinzhi stood very quietly and was unmoved.
"What the hell!"
On the side, a person quickly walked through the rain curtain and rushed straight towards Chen Jinzhi.
"Send... Mourning... ”
Chen Jinzhi's voice dragged on for a long time, but in this rain, it was very clear. It's hoarse, but thunderous.
Visibility was extremely low tonight, and even if he exuded his mental perception, he could only detect a group of people here. There was no distinction between friend and foe, and Chen Jinzhi didn't have time to observe carefully, so he jumped directly from the air and appeared suddenly. Day by day, it hovers in the air, and this pouring rain is an excellent cover.
Funeral?
The woman was startled, and at this moment there was another dazzling lightning bolt, which exploded like a chain.
Through this light, she vaguely saw the young man in front of her, who was more than seven feet tall.
The collar of the deep coat, although it is all ink, but the shades are different, there are two or three patterns, although it is wet by the rain, but it is still elegant. There was a robe with long cuffs, covering Chen Jinzhi's left hand holding a human butcher's knife. The hem is also long, so you can't see it clearly when you are immersed in water, but it should reach the ankle at most.
I can't find out the cultivation...
Instinctively, the woman stepped back, and her imperial aura came out and lifted it up, but this only seemed weak.
Seven-stage knights...
At this time, Chen Jinzhi's attention was mainly behind him, and he didn't care about the woman's movements. I found out when I fell before, but it was just the cultivation of the knight's fourth stage.
And behind Chen Jinzhi, the person who swept over was the cultivation of the seventh stage of the knight, and I saw that this person was moving with both palms, and there was an upsurge of imperial qi.
This seventh-stage knight lightly bounced on the water, his figure burst out, and his palms bombarded Chen Jinzhi's back at the same time.
"I thought it was so powerful, I can't hide from it. ”
Seeing that Chen Jinzhi didn't dodge, this seventh-stage knight was forced to accept his blow, and said disdainfully. He jumped again, then moved away from Chen Jinzhi, jumping everywhere on the low wall to stand still.
Looking at Chen Jinzhi's back, although the robe was intact, the seventh-stage knight laughed, his palm skill was dark energy, directly shattering the opponent's internal organs, very domineering. Therefore, he waited for Chen Jinzhi to spit blood from his mouth at this time, and then staggered down.
The woman was at a loss, and although she couldn't see what was happening, she could hear Chen Jinzhi, who was probably not far in front of her, being attacked.
Who is this man, and what does it mean to come to mourn?
The woman thought quickly, for her, Chen Jinzhi was a stranger, she didn't know the details, did she want to help him?
I'd better run...
The woman was about to use the emperor's qi to escape, but she felt that the big knights in the sky were staring at her, and behind her, there seemed to be a team of sergeants, blocking his way.
Chen Jinzhi didn't move, a person with a knight realm cultivator attacked him, a strong man with a king-rank third-stage cultivator?
He did feel a condensed imperial aura, trying to penetrate his body in a very subtle way. However, if Chen Jinzhi's violent ink-colored emperor qi is like a raging fire, then this seventh-rank knight's condensed imperial qi is like adding a handful of dry firewood. As soon as he touched his skin, he was eaten up by Chen Jinzhi's spontaneous guardian of the Lord's inky imperial qi.
"Nothing?"
After waiting and waiting, but still not seeing Chen Jinzhi fall, the seventh-stage knight looked at his palm in disbelief and muttered to himself. Previously, he didn't go to investigate Chen Jinzhi's cultivation, because in his opinion, there was absolutely no possibility of any strong person in this Ice Mang City.
Hehe, beam-jumping clown.
Hearing this, Chen Jinzhi's face was calm and turned around without any waves. His spiritual power was intertwined into a web, winding towards the direction of the few Great Knight Realm cultivators above the low sky, and stretched aggressively towards them.
