Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 17 Yecheng Never Sleeps
The eldest grandson Wujiang looked at the stumps in front of him and the blood flowed like a river, and finally realized the good intentions of General Xiang Sheng to die and set up the prince of the emperor.
It is said that imperial power determines the safety of the world, but the security of the world is not paved with the body of every hot-blooded man. General Wu Wei saw too many young lives withering in the wilderness hills, and naturally felt that the safety of the country was more important than the life of any person, including himself, including the emperor, including the prince, including every soldier.
Seeing the figure of Ji Changan escorting the second young lady Changsun Li behind him disappearing in the darkness, Lord Changsun felt a little relieved in his heart, he would never let the enemy see the weakness and pain in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the eldest grandson of Yecheng in Northern Liang Wujiang, which sergeant is in charge?"
After slaying the last of the Divine Strategy's warriors, the rangers didn't go wild. Unlike the bloodthirsty slaughter of other rangers, this team was the subordinate of the Second Prince, who had a greater goal in mind than looting a city and a pool. Naturally, his men also have a steel military discipline that far surpasses that of other rangers.
These rangers returned their swords and arrows to their sheaths and wiped the blood stains off their bodies, some were on guard around them, and some had already begun to collect the corpses of their comrades, even the remains of the opponent's Divine Counsel Regiment were gently placed neatly. They respect these opponents who are trapped in the beast's fight.
The second prince Wo Beitai was extremely dissatisfied with the battle report. A few months ago, it was the team under his command that defeated the myth of the invincibility of the Xiqiang Iron Harrier in the field with 500 to 3,000.
Why did tonight, in Yecheng, Beiliang, which is already full of holes, his team achieve such a miserable victory, no, to be precise, it was a fiasco. The elite of the three hundred rangers was consumed by nearly a hundred of the fifty Divine Strategies Regiment.
Enraged, he almost ordered his men to slaughter the entire Yecheng.
However, when the eldest grandson Wujiang calmly wanted to talk to the leader of the rangers, Wobetai suddenly calmed down, and the warrior exchanged his blood and life for victory on the battlefield, so next, it was his turn as the leader to strive for greater results for the ranger country. At the very least, let the old fox in front of him bow down to the Ranger Nation.
"Lord Eldest Sun, don't come unharmed!"
This voice was somewhat familiar, and the eldest grandson Wujiang began to rummage through his memory to find out who this voice belonged to. At the same time, I saw that the team of the rangers spread out on both sides, and several rangers who were taller and more powerful than the surrounding knights surrounded a tall horse like a flame red in the middle, and slowly greeted it.
"It turned out to be the second prince of Hasuya. ”
Obviously, these two Commanders had dealt with each other before. The eldest grandson had a private contact with the leader of the Ranger Nation, Wobetai's father Liangmuha, and wanted to use Liangmuha's strength to re-establish the triangular balance of Xiqiang, Nanjun and Beiliang.
However, King Xiang was intentional, the goddess was ruthless, and Liangmuha's conditions were too harsh, so the matter was over.
But the prince of Wobetai had greater ambitions, first conquering the Northern Liang, then unifying the three northwestern kingdoms, and finally sword the dragon Daxia who had taken advantage of the time and place, and had always been arrogant.
Tonight, Wobetai is here to conquer the eldest grandson and accept the Northern Liang.
The eldest grandson saw the Wobetai guarded by everyone, and his heart sank, don't look at the Wobetai is only in his twenties, but he is more strategic than his father Liangmuha, he knows that maybe tonight is the moment to decide the final fate of Beiliang.
After a period of pleasantries, both of them felt that such hypocrisy was a bit redundant. In the end, Wobetai opened the conditions of the Ranger Country, which could send troops to attack Xiqiang and Nanjun, but Beiliang should first join the territory of the Ranger Country, so that the division would be more famous.
Lord Changsun shook his head, he originally wanted to use the conditions of containing Xiqiang and Nanjun, plus the conditions of Sui Gong, with the help of the strength of the Ranger Country, to help Northern Liang restore the country, but the appetite of the Ranger Country is far more than that, he knows that driving the tiger and devouring the wolf is not the best policy, and now that the final illusion is shattered, he feels a little easier.
Lord Eldest Sun pointed to the Divine Warriors on the ground who had not yet cooled down,
"Second prince, this is my warrior of Beiliang. ”
He crouched down again, picked up a handful of blood-soaked dirt,
"This is the land of my North Liang. I'm so old, how dare I give away such a land in front of these warriors?"
Hearing this, Wobeitai suddenly became angry, he took his elite to cross five hundred miles of uninhabited desert, and lost many of the best soldiers, but not to fulfill an old man's patriotism, with a bang, he pulled out the saber from the scabbard hanging on the side of the war horse, drew a dazzling bright line in the air, and chopped down the head of the eldest grandson.
At this moment, a fast horse broke in and whispered a few words in the ear of the Wo Beitai. The second prince first glared at the fast rider with his eyes wide open, and then waved his hand, and the ten soldiers behind him rushed out of the formation, and followed the reported fast rider to run in the direction of Ji Chang'an and Changsun Li's breakthrough.
After the number of horses left, a smile suddenly appeared on the face of Wo Beitai, not only took back the saber, but also said to the eldest grandson with a pleasant face, "The eldest grandson is really a good man who stands up to the sky, but it is a pity that General Xiang Sheng of the Northern Liang was hated and slandered by you back then, and the faint monarch destroyed the Great Wall again, then I will see who else can protect your most beloved things for you now." ”
The eldest grandson knew what Wo Beitai meant, and he was terrified in his heart, secretly hating this young man's despicable methods, but he still remained silent, and even narrowed his eyes slightly, and stopped talking.
With such a tragic battle in Yecheng, there was no reason why the entire Dongcheng should not be alarmed, but the ordinary people who had been frightened by the years of war locked their doors and windows, and put the old man and the child together, trembling in the dark, praying that this nightmare would end at dawn.
The people of Yecheng, who were a little bolder, secretly observed the movement on the street through the crack in the door, and when they saw that the war disaster was pointing to the eldest grandson's house, they also took a sip fiercely.
"You deserve it, you old thing that has brought disaster to the country and the people will be taken away by God sooner or later. General Wuwei's great revenge will be avenged by God. ”
The lonely carriage that traveled at night had long been alert to the shouts of killing on the battlefield. According to the usual practice, Su Su was about to turn around and avoid when he heard the sound of the military horse walking at night, but the uninvited guest in the car interjected,
"Let me smell it" He pretended to stick out his nose and sniff in all directions, the way he inhaled and exhaled made Su Su feel like she was seeing a stray dog looking for bones everywhere, and she was hiding far away this time.
After smelling for a while, the old man pointed firmly to the east, "If the woman can trust me to call Huazi, tonight's birth gate is in the east, and the other city gates are already the door of death." ”
Su Su snorted in disgust, thinking that what Hanako was talking about was nonsense, who couldn't hear that the military horses that attacked Yecheng at night entered from the north gate and ran to the east gate, if you want to avoid trouble, you naturally have to retreat from the west gate or the south gate.
As soon as she raised her whip, the carriage turned around, and she wanted to head for the south gate.
Xiang Bei had just woken up from a coma at this time, he also heard the movement on the battlefield, and after asking about the current situation, he calmly handed the water bladder beside him to Hanako Lao Dao,
"Daoist Tianmo, how do you know that the East Gate is the Shengmen?"
This water bladder is not filled with water, but the high-grade daughter red brought all the way from Nanjun, as soon as the stopper is opened, a strong aroma of wine fills the entire carriage, and Su Su and Xiang Bei do not drink. This wine was specially prepared by Su Su on the road to clean Xiang Bei's wounds. Moreover, I heard that Baishou Mountain is located in an extremely cold place, and spirits can also ignite fire or keep out the cold at critical moments.
Looking at the appearance of this old man who claimed to be the old man of Tianmo drinking at the corner of his mouth, Su Su on the side was angry,
"Xiang Bei, this is useful for me on the road, why do you use it to give him a favor?"
How do you know that the old man Tianmo not only did not restrain himself, but also proudly grunted two big mouthfuls when he heard the words, and the prominent Adam's apple jumped briskly a few times, and finally there was a demonstration-like "Hi", and he rubbed the facial features that had been squeezed together with his dirty and torn sleeves. Only then did he burp contentedly, and lifted the curtain,
"Little brother, let me go down first, and I'll tell you when I come back, remember to wait for me to come back." ”
As he spoke, he turned over and jumped out of the carriage like a strong young man, and groped his way into the dark alley next to him.
"Drive!" Su Su raised his horsewhip and wanted to get rid of this obscene old man Tianmo.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Xiang Bei, "Susu, this old man is not simple. ”
"Of course it's not easy. The skin is so thick, cheating on eating and drinking, smelling all over, and staining our carriage. Xiang Bei, why are you so polite to him?"
"Maybe it's the death of a man. Xiang Bei sighed.
This sentence made Su Su very disgusted, and he simply threw the whip, and angry tears rolled in the eyes under the willow eyebrows.
"Xiang Bei, how can you only take care of yourself, it's easy for you to die, so I'm working hard all the way, what's the picture?"
"Hehe", Xiang Bei smiled bitterly, "Yes, Su Su, what are you trying to do? Life and death have a fate, and the damned will always die." ”
"You!" Su Su was speechless by Xiang Bei, and only cursed silently in his heart,
"You bastard, although you hate it very much, but if you die, then I don't have any relatives in this world?"
"Still. Xiang Bei suddenly had a straight face, looked at the figure of the old man Tianmo outside the window and had not returned, and lowered his voice, "This old man is really not simple. I deliberately tried to do it just now, and when I handed him the water bladder, I didn't make any movement, but he was able to catch it steadily, and he was able to walk in this world, and he didn't rely on hearing. ”
"Hmm. ”
Once Xiang Bei is up, the childish facial features make Su Su a little obsessed with it countless times, maybe Su Su still has awe of her superiors before, but now she prefers to look at this kind of expression implying Xiang Bei's dedication to survival.
Su Su also continued,
"Don't look at him pretending to hold that bamboo cane and pointing, but when he walks, not only can he avoid the unevenness on the road, but he can also avoid a little dirty water, which can't be done with a blind cane. ”
Xiang Bei nodded, and the two seemed to have returned to the tacit understanding they had when they fought the enemy together.
"And this old man Tianmo has no martial arts and internal strength, and he doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us, although he pretends to be stupid, but he must have other purposes, besides, he actually knows that we are looking for Baishou Mountain, he said that he is going to go, how can there be such a coincidence?"
At the mention of Baishou Mountain, Su Su finally stopped the carriage, and now the only thing they received about Baishou Mountain was the only one who was chattering with the old man Tianmo, whether this old blind man was talking nonsense or not, Su Su could only take a risk.
The two comrades-in-arms who had the most tacit understanding reached a consensus again. So, just wait and see.
"Hehe, I know you won't leave me. The old man, who called himself the old man Tianmo, was cheeky and got into the carriage again, and Su Su secretly wrote down the places that his dirty hands had touched, and swore that he would never touch those places again.
"Uncle Tianmo, then let's go to the east gate. ”
......
On the gate in the west of the city, there was no night watch, just two lanterns hanging in the air, and suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and the entrained black wind instantly extinguished the two lonely lanterns.
Yecheng tonight is destined to be a sleepless night......
