Sunset.

The sunset, like blood, swayed wantonly in the sky, red and shining.

"It's going to change, and tomorrow it's going to be another blizzard"

The old city lord stood at the head of the city, looking at the sunset and muttering to himself.

The once famous old city lord looked a little older, and he held in his hand a piece of paper that was constantly fluttering in the wind, which was a war book.

The battle book of Di Guo's march into Lingyun City. Just three days later.

The old servant of the City Lord's Mansion hurried over, the City Lord frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"City Lord, old lady...... Gone"

It was like a thunderclap on a dry day, and there was a roar in the city lord's head, and he could no longer hear the words of the people next to him.

From the head of the city back to the city lord's mansion, along the way, the city lord was like a lost soul.

Before I got to the backyard, I heard the crying of a group of juniors.

The old city lord silently walked to the old mother's bed, looking at his mother's slightly smiling face, so peaceful.

The scenes can't help but replay in my mind. The tears swirling in his eyes couldn't stop flowing. He muttered, "Mother, go all the way."

Mourning!

The city lord's mansion was surrounded by a layer of white veil. White flowers were hung in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, and white lanterns were hung.

The funeral procession came out of the west gate of the city, followed by a group of juniors, and the servants kept throwing paper money on the road, constantly shouting: Go all the way.

The old city lord walked at the front of the line, with white sand on his head, and did not say a word.

Who knows the sorrow of his heart. The roar in his head made him unable to hear the noise around him, and the suona and shouts all seemed to come faintly from a distant place.

............

That night, the Lord of Lingyun City summoned Bai Ruyan to the lobby, handed her a letter, and said, "Yan'er, give this letter to your grandfather." You'll leave tomorrow."

Bai Ruyan has not yet recovered from her grief, her crying eyes are still a little red and swollen after her grandmother left, and she didn't want to worry about the city lord more, so she choked up and said: "Grandpa, you also have to take care of your body."

"Well, go ahead, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

The old city lord turned his back and looked at Da Luan's map.

Bai Ruyan saluted as a farewell and silently exited the lobby!

War is coming!

The Beidi army had reached thirty miles north of the city, and when the news came, Lingyun was in an uproar.

The residents of Lingyun City moved overnight, and this night, it was so noisy, only that they lacked the usual communication of meeting, and some just glanced at each other, and then silently dragged their bags and rushed out of the city.

The rich people drove the carriage with valuables, and also hurriedly locked the door, looked back, sighed, and then left without looking back!

Most of the residents have been evacuated, and the occasional pedestrian is in a hurry, and the tables of street stalls are toppled on the side of the road, and no one cares.

Early in the morning!

The streets of this normally bustling city are now unusually deserted, with the occasional army patrolling.

A sign that fell to the ground at random, a few depressed leaves, looked a little sad.

War is always the thing that the people fear the most, it is too easy to ruin a peaceful life, too easy to erase the wealth that has accumulated most of a lifetime.

As white as smoke and white clouds, Xiaofu walked in the cold street with a carriage.

Two days ago, it was a lively street, and the main road of the city, which was full of shouting and shouting, is now so desolate, even the friction of the carriage is so loud, in this bluestone street, the clatter of the horse's hooves is so crisp, this gap is really a bit big. It's as if I've been standing on the street for a hundred years.

"Let's go" Bai Yuntian urged a little, he wanted to send this group out of the city safely and to a safe place, and he had to turn back and fight with the city lord.

The carriage left the city and set off in the direction of the inland of the Central Plains, and the carriage was a little quiet and suffocating along the way. Everyone is worried. Bai Ruyan looked behind me from time to time!

"Cluck, cluck"

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, galloping on the official road, and immediately a person in a red tight-fitting official uniform, with nothing in his eyes, just rushed towards Lingyun City.

"Divine Officer, it seems that Emperor Luan's holy decree has arrived," Bai Yuntian muttered as he looked at the red-clothed man.

On the official road, the refugees who fled from Lingyun City were scattered. Seeing this dazzling red suit, they quickly gave way, and they didn't dare to stop it, because this was a kind of official position of Da Luan-Shenxing Official!

In order to convey the emperor's edict for the first time, a special official position.

Every city has a Shenxing official, every time he arrives in a city, the Shenxing official of this city will take over, and the Shenxing official will not stop all the way, and he can reach all the places in Daluan in three days.

The horse was so fast that a few older people could not dodge, and blocked the official road, and they were about to be knocked away by the galloping horses.

I saw that the man on the horse was not panicked, and as soon as he lifted the reins of the horse, the horse crossed directly. The crowd on the official road could not slow him down even a bit.

From near to far, he didn't look back, leaving a cloud of dust behind. I can't help but admire "good horsemanship".

The Shenxing official did not stop all the way, went straight through the city gate, went straight to the city lord's mansion, dismounted, and shouted loudly, "Emperor Luan's decree!"

When the doorman of the City Lord's Mansion saw this red official uniform, he knew that it was a divine official, so he didn't dare to slack off, and directly took the divine official all the way to the city lord's lobby.

At this time, the city lord was watching the defense of Lingyun City in the sand table, and when he heard the shouts outside the door, he immediately knelt down to receive the order.

The Shenxing official knew that the Lingyun City Lord was highly respected, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly helped him up and said, "Your Majesty specially instructed the Lingyun City Lord not to kneel."

The Lord of Lingyun City thanked the Divine Officer, said a set of words of honor, and took the Holy Decree and instructed the servants to take the Divine Governor to rest. The god walker retreated with the servant, and the old city lord's hand trembled slightly.

"The old city lord of Lingyun is not harmed, the last time I said goodbye has been three years, the widow is very worried, Beidi often offends my frontier, in recent years, Taoguang has raised obscurity, its ambition lies in my Daluan, now the foreign enemy is invading, Lingyun is in danger, the widow has his own countermeasures, but it takes some time, forget the old city lord deep body and strengthen my ambition of Lingyun. Show me the majestic wind of Daluan"

The old city lord closed his eyes, tilted his head, and took a deep breath.

Night

Lingyun City lit up the lights, and the warriors at the head of the city were ready for battle. Observing the surroundings closely, a black shadow flashed by, drowning in the night, and the black shadow flew up the wall, tossed several times, and flew towards the city lord's mansion.

The black shadow was extremely fast, and soon fell silently into the City Lord's Mansion. It didn't arouse the slightest notice from the guards in the city lord's mansion.

The old man was drinking in the backyard pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion, squinting his eyes as if he was drunk.

As soon as the wine glass was put down, he suddenly opened his eyes vigilantly, and his eyes, which were blurred a second ago, suddenly became as sharp as an eagle, squinted to the side, snorted coldly, and disappeared into the pavilion with a brush, leaving a glass of wine to stir up ripples on the stone table in the pavilion.

The dark shadow dodged a patrol and said with a mocking smile on his lips, "A rabble." "With his feet on the ground, he rose up and flew to the top of the eaves.

Looking at the lobby in the middle of the City Lord's Mansion, the hall was brightly lit at the moment, and the City Lord and the generals were discussing defensive countermeasures.

There was a hint of ruthlessness in the black shadow's eyes, and he said to himself, "Let's ask for some color today, and wait until tomorrow to attack the city, and the people of Luan Guo will find out that the city lord is dead, it must be extremely exciting" said and swept towards the roof of the lobby.

"Horn"

There was a faint sound from the roof, inaudible.

The black shadow fell lightly on the roof of the City Lord's Mansion Chamber, reflecting the faint moonlight, and you could see that at the cuffs of the black shadow, a moon totem was extremely eye-catching!

In the lobby, a general was mentioning the defense strategy, and was immediately interrupted by the city lord, and his eyes gestured to the roof.

Obviously, the city lord was aware of the existence of the black shadow on the roof, and everyone present was from the soldiers for so many years, and none of them were ordinary people, and immediately understood what the city lord meant.

A general gently took off the hard bow placed on the wall and handed it to the old city lord, although the old city lord was not confused, but the practice never fell behind, often went out to hunt, pulling a bow is naturally a piece of cake.

The old lord slowly drew an arrow, placed it on the bowstring, and effortlessly pulled the bowstring, where the arrow made a sound against the roof. Shot out quickly.

"Whoosh"

The arrows flew swiftly towards the rooftops with the wind.

The black shadow on the roof, only to feel that the hall discussion stopped abruptly, I couldn't help but feel ominous, I was surprised by a gust of wind under my feet, and immediately used a retreat method, and a dodge crossed the position just now.

"Boom"

It was too late, and there was a loud noise, and an arrow broke through the roof and went through the sky, and a large hole was made in the roof, and broken tiles kept falling.

The arrow was only a fraction of a second away from the black shadow's forehead, and even so, the broken tiles driven by the arrow's wind still pierced the black shadow's cheek.

The black shadow couldn't help but be afraid for a while, glad that he had picked up a life, if it wasn't for that step back method, he was afraid that he would have already entered the Hades Palace.

"What people!"

With a loud roar, five or six generals sprang out of the council chamber, all of them stamping on the ground, flying up to the roof, and surrounding the dark shadows at the four corners of the roof.

The guards patrolling around also arrived quickly when they heard the sound, and they drew their bows and arrows and aimed them at the roof.

"Truly......" A string of grim laughter came from the dark shadow.

"Who are you?

"Hmph, the one who wants your life" As soon as the words fell, he was about to enter the lobby from the broken roof, and a crescent moon scimitar in his hand suddenly appeared, pointing directly at the Lingyun City Lord.

The old city lord has been on the battlefield for many years, and this small scene is calm and calm, kicking a □□ erected on the weapon rack with his left foot, holding it in his hand, turning around, and pointing the gun directly at the black-clothed man who flew down.

The man in black used his scimitar to unswipe his spear, and one fell on the desk.
