Chapter 259: The Storm is Coming
Tianyang Dynasty, Imperial Palace.
"Weichen knocks to see the emperor!" a burly man in golden armor knelt on one knee with his head bowed.
"Flat. Emperor Yang waved his hand lightly and asked, "How did I find out about the news I asked you to investigate?"
"Your Majesty, Emperor. The burly man got up sharply and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, in the past few months, the border has been very quiet, and even the Blood Moon Dynasty, which has sent troops to harass it from time to time, has stopped for a long time, according to the border city guard, not even a shadow of an enemy can be seen some time ago." ”
"Oh, is it, are they so well-behaved?" Emperor Yang's face was flat, and he didn't look relieved at all by Dahan's words, but there was a trace of solemnity between his eyebrows.
"I remember what you said last time, let's say, what are the new gains this time?" Yang Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly.
"Your Majesty. The burly man complimented, and then said: "According to the spies in front, the Blood Moon Dynasty has begun to be a little impatient recently, the troops in the city have been frequently transferred, and the generals defending the city seem to have changed some, according to reliable information, there are several armies of different sizes moving towards the border from all sides, and it is suspected that they are ......"
"Coming at us. The burly man looked at Emperor Yang and said word by word.
And so it was. Emperor Yang was not surprised, as if he had expected it, and said lightly: "That guy is not a person who will suffer, the current calm is more like a sign of the coming wind and rain, it seems that they will have a big move in the next few days." ”
"What the emperor said is very true, I am afraid that the Blood Moon Dynasty will attack our dynasty again this time. The burly man thought so, and because of this, as soon as he heard that there was a movement in the Blood Moon Dynasty, he immediately came to report to the Yang Emperor.
He had a hunch that this time the Blood Moon Dynasty would not be the same as before, and it would be like ten years ago...... Thinking of this, his heart became heavy, especially since he had obtained a more important piece of information, and he was afraid that it would be even more serious.
"And everything else. Seeing that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Emperor Yang immediately understood that the situation was more than that, and immediately said.
"Yes!" The burly man straightened his face and said solemnly: "Weichen also got an inaccurate information, not long ago, the Blood Moon Imperial City suddenly became martial law in the whole city, strictly controlling the flow of people in and out, everyone entering or leaving the city must go through a strict check, the people in charge of the inventory seem to be masters, and the people below are afraid of being discovered, so they dare not make any changes, so this information Weichen also only learned about it two days ago." ”
"Huh?" Emperor Yang frowned slightly, "The Blood Moon Imperial City is under martial law, what is going on, so much work." ”
"Wei Chen didn't know, the people below didn't find much, it seemed that there was some important guest from the Blood Moon Imperial City. The burly man said truthfully.
"Hmm. Emperor Yang groaned slightly, "This matter is unusual, that guy is engaged in such a big battle, and the whole city is under martial law, this guest is afraid that he is not a simple person, could it be that this person has something to do with the recent impatience of the blood moon?"
"What is this guy trying to do?" There is still too little information, and even the Yang Emperor has no way of getting more information from these words, so he has no way of knowing the other party's plan.
"What about the rest of the world?" asked the Yang Emperor.
"Back to the emperor, at present, I have only heard the movement of the blood moon, as for the three major dynasties of Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, and Qinglong, they have been very quiet, and there is no sign of dispatching troops, but according to Weichen's opinion, it is not ruled out that there is a possibility of falling into the well, and we can't help them. The burly man said.
"That's right. Emperor Yang nodded, and suddenly said: "Gao Li, pass on my order, all border passes to strengthen vigilance, pay attention to enemy movements, and beware of enemy surprise attacks." ”
"Yes, We're here. Collier bowed and bowed, and was about to leave to give the order.
"Wait, and besides, my plan can be executed, and the generals will be notified to reorganize the army and be ready to go to the front at any time. Emperor Yang commanded unhurriedly.
"Yes, Wechen will do it. Colliers understood the urgency of the matter, and a slight delay at this time might delay the military plane, so he couldn't delay, and he planned to do it overnight.
"Go ahead. ”
After Gao Li left, Yang Huang's face suddenly turned colder, Blood Emperor, see what tricks you can play this time......
......
On the northern border of the Tianyang Dynasty, a majestic iron city, an iron-blooded city.
The huge stele is like a giant sword reaching into the sky, * solemn, full of iron and blood, this is the soul of Iron Blood City - the Loyal Martyr's Monument.
Each of the names on it represents the blood, dedication and perseverance of the predecessors, and every soldier and every citizen of the Iron and Blood City is proud of them and takes their beliefs as their own beliefs.
For the soldiers stationed in the Iron Blood City, the greatest hope is to be able to guard the first line of defense of this border pass, and the greatest wish is that when they are unfortunately martyred, their names can also be engraved on the martyrs' monument, not for the sake of passing on to future generations, but to inherit the immortal soul of the Iron Blood City for generations and warn future generations.
At this moment, night has come, and the white moonlight is sprinkled down, covering this iron city with a layer of clothing, and the cold stone monument is more sacred under the reflection of the moonlight.
The hour was near, and the people in the city had fallen asleep, only the sound of the husband telling the time, and the faint and extremely neat footsteps, and the faint light of the fire reflected the young and delicate and resolute faces, which were patrolling soldiers.
The patrol teams performed their own duties and were responsible for their respective areas, and even when they met, they simply nodded and staggered through in an orderly manner.
In the dead of night, the city lord's mansion was quiet, but in front of the martyr's monument, there was a mighty figure standing in heavy armor, with his back straight, like a spear, pulling out a long shadow in the moonlight.
A deliberately lightened footstep sounded behind him, and the man who was contemplating in the moon did not notice it until the person behind him came to a stop not far from him, and the footsteps disappeared.
"General, you have been standing for almost three hours, the night is windy, and it is easy to catch a cold, it is better to rest early, and you will have to get up early tomorrow." The man behind him whispered, his words full of respect and care.
The mighty man seemed to have just come back from his contemplation, turned around, his serious face was rarely a little softer, and said, "Lu'er, you have made great progress now, and your father only discovered you within ten steps of you." ”
"That's because the general was thinking and didn't pay attention, otherwise he would have found Lu'er a long time ago. Yue Lu shook his head and said, he knew that he was a few pounds and a few taels, and there was still a big gap between him and his father.
"Hehe, not arrogant or impatient, it's good, for the father I believe that sooner or later you will surpass the father. Yue Zhan said with a rare hint of love on his face.
"I will. Yue Lu nodded heavily, but not to surpass his father, but to be able to carry his burden on his shoulders.
"By the way, why haven't you slept yet? Go to bed early, or it won't be good if you catch a cold." Yue Zhan nodded slightly and said again.
Although the words are plain, the meaning of concern in them is difficult to hide.
"Why doesn't the general sleep?" asked Yue Lu.
"Can't sleep. Yue Zhan shook his head and said, with his cultivation realm, sleep is actually dispensable, but it is one of the best ways to recuperate, and it feels very good to wake up refreshed.
"I can't sleep either. ”
Father and son looked at each other, and suddenly laughed at the same time, the laughter was unusually clear in the quiet night, and there was a warm feeling between the two.
The cool breeze was blowing, but the father and son didn't realize it, the cold was just a statement that they cared about each other, how could they really care about such a coldness.
After laughing, Yue Lu said with a straight face: "General, are you still worried that the blood moon will suddenly attack?"
"It's not that I'm worried, but it's very likely, the blood moon was quiet some time ago, and recently it has started to move again, and I have a premonition in my heart that war is about to start. Yue Zhan's face suddenly became solemn.
Yue Lu also became serious, he knew very well that what his father said about the war was different from the past, and since this period of time, he also knew a thing or two about the news from the blood moon, and he also saw his father's more and more solemn look.
For some reason, he gradually felt a sense in his heart that the mountain rain was coming, could this short calm be destroyed by a violent storm?
"General, this matter is still up for discussion, it's not a foregone conclusion, maybe we're thinking too much, don't think too much about it first. Yue Lu looked at his father's frowning appearance, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and comforted him.
Yue Zhan listened, how could he not understand his son's intentions, and immediately loosened his tightly locked brows, and let himself be more relaxed: "That's right, it will always come, it's a bit worrying to think about it so much, I ......"
"Report to the general!"
Just as Yue Zhan was about to say something, an eager voice interrupted him, and a soldier hurried over to this side, seemingly holding something in his hand.
In recent days, Yue Zhan has often faced the martyr's monument alone and pondered, as long as he inquired, it is not difficult to know where he is.
"What's the matter?" Although the words were interrupted, Yue Zhan didn't look angry, the people below have always respected him, if it was something important, absolutely no one would come to disturb him, and now this soldier was so eager to come, so he had a bad association, could it be that there was any movement on the side of the blood moon?
Thinking of this, his brow furrowed again, and he looked at the soldier.
"Report to the general, someone handed over a letter to the villain, saying that it was an urgent matter of 100,000 yuan, and asked the villain to hand it over to the general immediately. The soldier didn't care about breathing a sigh of relief first, and hurriedly presented the letter in his hand to Yue Zhan, and said quickly.
"Letter, who asked you to deliver the letter, do you remember?" Yue Zhan didn't read the letter for the first time, but asked.
The man didn't tell the villain his identity, but showed a gold medal with the mark of the imperial court, presumably a messenger sent by the imperial court. The soldier was stunned for a moment, reacted quickly, and said.
"Gold medal, okay, you go down first. Most of the doubts in Yue Zhan's heart are less, there shouldn't be any problem with the gold medal marked by the imperial court, this letter may have been given to him by someone above.
"Yes, General. ”
After sending away the soldiers, Yue Zhan quickly opened the envelope, and sure enough, there was no abnormality, but soon, when he saw the content of the letter, his face suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Yue Lu, immediately summon the generals of the three armed forces to come to the council hall to discuss the matter!"
