Since ancient times, Chang'an West Wind and Rain Chapter 183 Under the City
This is the East Gate of Nanjun, and it was here that the war started last night, making it the most messy place in the entire Nanjun.
The early morning in late autumn should be cool and refreshing, but this is Nanjun, and autumn is always later than Chang'an.
To be precise, it should be the end of summer.
As the morning light fell, the air was filled with a hot and restless atmosphere, and the soldiers guarding the city could not help but feel a burst of stuffy heat and unbearable as they dragged their heavy armor, and they longed to find a cool place to sleep soundly.
At this moment, under the city pass, a woman came up, she was a woman in a black gauze skirt, barefoot in the wind, always able to make people think of infinite reverie.
The soldiers at the gate thought the same thing, but they quickly dismissed the idea.
After a fierce battle last night, now the residents of Nanjun Chengnei are dead, wounded, and not running away, but also looking for a place to hide. If it was just an ordinary person, who would dare to walk towards Chengguan so unscrupulously?
What's more, this woman is a spirit person.
"Who is here? who dares to trespass on the border of my prosperous dynasty. The defenders clenched their spears and shouted in a deep voice.
The people of the Spirit Clan, all of them are cultivators, and they dare not underestimate them. And with their special physique, they are even more like a boat on the road of cultivation, even if they are unarmed children, they may use all kinds of strength, this is the difference between practitioners and ordinary people.
"I'm looking for someone. The woman stopped less than ten feet away from Chengguan and said softly.
Even if the voice was quiet, the soldiers above the city pass could still hear it clearly.
"Looking for someone?" the soldier sneered, "Do you know where this is?
The woman's face was cold, and she walked towards Chengguan step by step.
The defenders scolded again, but they couldn't make the woman retreat.
Sou!
I don't know who it is, but I coldly shot a bow and arrow straight into the woman's head.
"What do you have to say to this spirit people, if you shoot to death, it's over......" Before the bow soldier could speak, he saw that the arrow that was speeding at a high speed was suspended in front of the spirit woman, like a transparent wall, blocking the arrow for her.
The woman's fingertips flicked, and the suspended arrow instantly turned its head and shot out.
Between the lightning and flint, blood was sprinkled on the city pass.
The archer was shot through the heart by his own bow and arrow, his eyes turned white, and he stared straight at the city, and died.
"Beat the drums, the Spirit Clan is invading!" the commander of the city gate hurriedly shouted, only then did he realize that the rest of the soldiers had already been broken. There were heavy casualties last night, and these people were all new recruits who had just been transferred from the barracks and had not yet experienced the baptism of war.
After all, the Nanjun City Pass is impregnable, and after a night of fierce fighting, no one would have thought that the Spirit Clan would dare to invade at this time, so they would arrange some recruit boys to defend the city
It's a long insight.
Wu Chang cursed in his heart, rushed up to dodge the drum stick in the soldier's hand, and struck it hard alone. The drums soon echoed in and around the South County Castle. He was afraid that if he was too late, how many innocent people would this Spirit Clan woman kill.
"The Spirit Clan shouldn't exist in this world!" Wu Chang scolded as he beat the drum.
Just then, he heard a scream behind him, accompanied by the crash of the weapon on the ground. He hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see that the woman who was still standing on the ground was standing firmly on the city gate at this moment!
"How is this possible!" Wu Chang exclaimed in his heart, "This city pass is three zhang high!"
It is said that cultivators are light and good, and it is not a problem to fly the eaves and walk the walls.
But no matter how powerful the light skill is, it is impossible to leap three feet high, right? Is this still human?
The woman walked towards him unhurriedly, stretched out her slender palm, grabbed him by the neck very quickly like a poisonous snake, and whispered, "Did you take a scholar last night?"
Wu Chang was already frightened at the moment, and he shouted with his instinctive desire to survive, "I don't know ......"
"Then you ......will die," the woman said in a very calm tone when she heard this. It seems that the impermanence of life and death has long become a habit in her mouth.
"Don't kill me...... I really don't know anything......" Captain Wu yelled frantically.
"And what do you know?" the woman asked.
"Last night's operations were all led by General He, and I was a captain guarding the city, and I hadn't seen any ......scholars at all," Commander Wu said in a panic.
The woman thought for a while, and shouted in a deep voice, "Take me to see you General He!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the gate of the castle was slowly opened, and a large armored man stepped out of it.
The woman saw the stout armored man in front of her appear, and immediately let go of the captain. Wu Chang gasped twice, and before he could calm down, he just glanced at the armored man who appeared in front of him, and he was suddenly frightened.
He immediately knelt on the ground, and said with a trembling voice, "Subordinate...... I've seen the King of Nanping!"
"You are the King of Nanping?" When the Spirit Clan woman heard this name, instead of being afraid in the slightest, she looked at him with a look of curiosity.
King Nanping, a big man who can single-handedly guard Nanjun City, has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under his command, not to mention that he himself is also a seventh-order cultivator, ordinary soldiers have to avoid three points when they see him, for fear of offending him.
However, this person of the Spirit Clan, who does not know the height of the sky and the earth, dares to contradict the king of Nanping so unscrupulously, this is really fatal.
"Exactly. The armored man nodded, revealing a pair of shrewd eyes on his solemn face, "I don't know what the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan came to my Chaocheng Pass for? I have every reason to think that your spirit clan has raised an army to invade our dynasty, and in that case,
Behind me, more than 100,000 iron horsemen will set foot in the southern wilderness in a short time. ”
When King Nanping said this, his eyes were full of confidence.
It's not that he is boasting, he has only a hundred thousand iron cavalry in the hands of King Nanping, but it is far better than the 200,000 iron dragon army stationed under Chang'an City. This is also the mystery of being in Chang'an, but never being able to experience.
The terrain of Nanjun is dangerous, and training soldiers is like training people. It is not an easy task to make the soldiers walk on the ground in this steep mountain forest.
"Qingyun is indeed rude. The Spirit Clan Holy Maiden said softly, "As long as the King of Nanping hands over the person Qingyun wants, Qingyun will naturally leave immediately." ”
"Oh?" King Nanping couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, "It's really rare for Her Highness the Holy Maiden to come and take care of the important people in my hands. It's just that Your Highness, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place, right? We will never capture a single Elamitoss, let alone take in a single Elven person. The law of the DPRK and China has long been clear, but anyone who has taken prisoners or takes in the spirit clan is regarded as treason. ”
"What Qingyun is looking for is a scholar named Bai Shushan. The woman shook her head and said, "Presumably this is not a problem for King Nanping." As for compensation, if I kill one of your soldiers, I will exchange it for a Spiritual Qi Elixir. ”
"Spiritual Qi Pill ......" King Nanping smiled, "Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden is really generous. ”
The Wu Chang on the side was also stunned, hearing that this aura elixir could be sold for dozens of taels of silver in Chang'an City. His own life may not be worth so much, just for a soldier, and for another person, is it worth it?
"In that case, give it over. Qingyun's tone was a little hurried, her patience had been worn out.
As the sun continued to rise, the city gate gradually became a little dazzling. Everyone's sides were lit red, and there was a faint restlessness hidden in the silent atmosphere.
"It's a pity......," said King Nanping, shaking his head, "that Baishushan is dead." ”
Hearing this, Qingyun's face suddenly changed, but soon returned to calm, and shouted in a deep tone, "What did you say?"
She didn't believe that Bai Shushan died like this, and she didn't think that Bai Shushan would die.
"Your Highness, there is no need for me to lie to you. King Nanping showed a helpless look on his face, "Last night, that Baishushan was indeed brought back to the army, and then he was beheaded in public, and his body was thrown into the sea of fire and burned. If the Holy Maiden does not believe, I can find the soldiers who were present last night, and they can testify. ”
"What are you talking about...... Qingyun's face looked a little gray, she exhaled heavily, her eyes stared at the face of King Nanping viciously, and her tone was cold, "Why?"
The soldiers around him sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly clenched the hilt of the sword in their hands, ready for a battle at any time.
However, King Nanping waved his hand and said in a low voice: "This is what the queen mother meant." Bai Shushan annoyed the queen mother, he should have died without a place to be buried. If she hadn't fled to Nanjun, the queen would have too
It is impossible for him to live for so many days. The queen mother heard about the war in Nanjun, which means that our soldiers can enter Nanjun as they want. The last guarantee of Baishushan is gone......"
After King Nanping said this, Qingyun's expression darkened a lot.
She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, "Am I still late after all?"
She turned around and stared quietly at the peaceful southern county town facing the rising sun.
Maybe from now on, Nanjun will no longer have the same paradise as before. This will soon be the second hell on earth, yes, the second. This first hell is not another place, but the prosperous Chang'an, which is longed for by the hearts of the people......
Qingyun rose lightly and fell to the ground with the wind, dragging the lonely figure away.
She did so much for Bai Shushan, but in the end, she still couldn't save him from Yang Yue's hands.
"My lord, why did you deceive the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan? That Baishu Mountain is obviously ......" Seeing the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan disappear from sight, the advisors beside King Nanping couldn't help but ask.
Only in this way can she hate Yang Yue. King Nanping smiled, looking at the gunsmoke of Nanjun under the rising sun, "If Yang Yue doesn't die, my plan will always be hindered......"
