The courtiers waited for the fifth watch to be cold, but today was the third watch, the sky was not yet bright, a carriage broke the silence, and the sound of horses' hooves was like dense rain hitting the plantains, and galloped towards the imperial city of Daliang.

Approaching the imperial city, the chariot got off the roar, tightened the reins, and the high-headed horse raised its front hooves, which could be stopped.

Without waiting for someone to lift the curtain, an old man with gray hair hurriedly walked out, carrying a lantern in his hand and walking hurriedly.

When a soldier crossed his spear, he wanted to stop it, and after seeing the comer, he hurriedly put away his spear and let him go.

The old man with a lantern walked briskly, but he didn't forget to nod his head to say hello, the old man is always like this, he is always reading when he is young, he is always meticulous about people and things, and he acts squarely, although he has been in the officialdom for many years, he still can't erase the righteousness of his body.

Even if it is to treat a small soldier who defends the city, it is so well-behaved.

The young soldier looked at the old man's fading back, his serious face showed a rare smile, and he straightened his waist and clenched his spear in his hand.

Not for anything else, just for this kindness.

If it was still early today, there was a person waiting for a long time on the wide flat ground outside the palace hall.

Even if it is dark, he does not light the lamp or hold the candle, but just stands.

In the darkness of the night ahead, a light slowly approached, getting closer and closer, and stopped in front of him.

"Isn't this Lord Li?" he smiled and took a step forward as he saw the comer approaching.

Li Guanxian lifted the lantern up, saw the other party's face clearly, and snorted coldly: "Isn't this Lord Ye? Why did you come to the court so early today? Or is it that the Lord is waiting for someone?"

The old man who was called Lord Ye smiled dumbly, he looked at the military department of the Great Liang Dynasty in front of him, shook his head with a smile, above the court, if you want to say who Ye Fanglan admires the most, it is undoubtedly the one in front of him, Li Kanxian is upright, literati, and has spoken outright many times, and even once angered the Emperor of Daliang because of the incident, the emperor immediately returned to the palace angrily, Li Kanxian actually pulled the emperor's clothes, and it was not over until the matter was settled.

Therefore, Emperor Daliang once said: "Li Kanxian is the mirror of me." ”

Therefore, Ye Fanglan admires Li Kanxian the most.

It's a pity that the style of acting is diametrically opposite, which also leads to the two never being friends.

But speaking of which, Ye Fanglan asked himself in his heart, everything he did and every decision he made was all for the sake of the luck of the Great Liang Dynasty, including the matter that Li Guanxian wanted to come to the emperor to negotiate.

Ye Fanglan smiled and asked, "Lord Li is in such a hurry, presumably for the sake of going out to the army." ”

Li Kanxian's tone was displeased, "Since Lord Ye knows, why do you knowingly ask?"

Ye Fanglan glanced back at the main hall and exhaled lightly, "It's not that I don't come out, but I really shouldn't send troops." ”

Li Kanxian took a step forward and said coldly: "Then I want to ask Lord Ye, why shouldn't I send troops?" The morning bell of the Great Wall in the north is ringing four times, the Tianxin Pavilion is breaking through the sky, and the ice is coming, do you still want to be entangled in the intrigue between the dynasties now?"

Ye Fanglan sighed and folded his hands behind his back, "The Great Test of the Far Mountain Sect is still being held, and those mountain immortals are still indifferent to this, why is Lord Li so anxious?"

"Whether it is the demon cultivation of the 100,000 mountains or gluttony, once the Great Wall is broken, the immortals of the Far Mountain Sect can protect themselves. Li Kanxian sneered, "But what about the people of Daliang? Lord Ye doesn't think that the people of Daliang are also immortals on the mountain?"

Ye Fanglan was not in a hurry or slow, "Master Li was born as a scholar and is dedicated to the people, so he naturally admires him, but..."

"Luoyun in the west, Wuling in the south, distant mountains in the north, and Dongpinghai in the east, let me ask the five places in Sanzhou, which dynasty is located in such a dynasty besides my Daliang? Not to mention Luoyun, who has been-for-tat, just talk about Dongpinghai, Lord Li will not know the ambition of Penglai wolf in Dongpinghai. If you rashly send troops to the Great Wall, and there is a shortage of troops in the country, I don't need to say more about the result. ”

Li Guanxian pondered for a moment and said: "How can the fierce beast still have the heart to do this? If the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles is broken, how can it be as simple as the fall of the dynasty, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, no one in the three states and five places is not afraid. Ye Fanglan suddenly laughed, "But compared to the monsters far away from the Great Wall, what I am more afraid of is the change of dynasty of His Majesty's dragon chair!"

Li Kanxian was silent, the people suffered, the people suffered, and the people suffered, in the final analysis, once the country has an accident, the first to bear the brunt is the people of Limin.

Ye Fanglan said: "Your Majesty naturally cares about the people, but your Majesty can suddenly withdraw the edict of sending troops, not only because of this. ”

Li Kanxian wondered, "Why is that?"

Ye Fanglan took a deep breath, his tone trembling a little, as if he was telling something extremely terrifying, "Last night, Tianxin Pavilion had sent out a secret letter, and there were only four words in it. ”

"The long night is coming. ”

The back mountain of the main peak of the distant mountain.

The snow-white Dao robe moved with the wind, waving wantonly, and the Distant Mountain Sect Sect Leader let out a sigh and closed his eyes slightly.

A bald man in a tattered robe, walking barefoot with a withered expression, holding a tattered fan in his hand, came to a mountain cliff, sat cross-legged on the ground, carried a dirty wine gourd, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, then wiped his mouth, folded his hands, and whispered: "Nan no Amitabha." ”

On the top of the mountain, someone stood not far away, looking at the bright moon in the distance, carrying a long knife, and there were two big fish, one black and one white, lingering behind him.

On a long road that floats upwards in the air, a scholar dressed as a Confucian scholar holds a yellowed ancient book in his hand, and he reads it as he walks, without distractions, and there is a breeze in his sleeve, floating out and turning a page of the book.

When he got closer, the scholar closed the book, stopped and smiled, "It's all here." ”

"Then let's talk about it, what do the various sects think about the long night?"

————

The morning bell and the evening drum were originally the rules of the temple to tell the time, and the bell was struck first in the morning and then the drum, and in the evening, the drum was struck first and then the bell.

It's just that over the years, it has gradually evolved into a common way of telling the time in three states and five places, and even the usage has changed somewhat.

On the side of the Great Wall, the bell rings three times at dawn, breaks the long night, alerts sleep, and beats the drum three times at dusk, feeling faint and ignorant.

Today's dusk, for some reason, the clouds on the horizon are low, extraordinarily thick, the sky is dark, the clouds are rushing like thousands of horses, the black clouds are pressing, the wind is raging, and a long silver snake crosses the sky, as if to tear the sky apart, and then the shocking thunder falls.

Black clouds crush the city.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

"Knock knock~"

The drums sounded like thunder three times but did not stop, and then a fourth sound, echoing in the ears of the sergeants stationed at the Shanhaiguan stronghold on the Great Wall.

The originally quiet morning was drowned out by the sonorous sound of marching.

The drums and horns sounded in unison, and the trumpets made a great sound, like thunder rolling by, like thunder. The battle flag hunted, and the black and gold armor of the watch army flashed with a faint and cold light, full of a murderous aura.

The watchman army is the collective name of the guards of the town of Wanlichang, the watchman army comes from various dynasties and sects in three states and five places, most of them are people who have no relatives and no reason, and they are guarding here, making an oath and watching the long night.

The leader of the army has a tall horse in his crotch, also wearing black and gold armor, and his halberd rises into the sky, with the potential of piercing the sky. His eyes were like lightning, and he was monstrous with war intent. The army behind him was overwhelming, the fighting spirit was soaring, and the marching sound was sonorous and powerful, as if the black sea waves were sweeping over the ground, destroying the withering and decaying, and the wind was vigorous.

The morning bell and dusk drum in the Great Wall, is not a simple time, it is a kind of code, three sounds, then peaceful, four sounds, indicating that the demon cultivators of the 100,000 mountains are coming, and the five sounds, that is what the world says, "walking on frost and ice".

A spy came to report, "Report! 3,000 enemy troops are camped 300 miles to the northwest. ”

The leading general bowed slightly, looked back, looked at the watchman behind him, and said loudly: "The watchman obeys the order!"

"Our sergeants will watch the long night, and we will not retreat or fear!"
