After many years, Shen Xiuming once again wore armor and helmets, and changed from the Xuan Fu Army of the vassal states to a higher level of the Yellow Fu Army, which means that the equipment is more sophisticated, and correspondingly heavier, even if the talisman is blessed, it is still a big burden.

A morning's training made him tired and panting, sweating profusely, but he was not convinced, and during the lunch break, he told a group of soldiers much younger than him about the past: he learned the Dao method in Pangshan, but unfortunately he couldn't condense the Dan, but he participated in the battle of Broken Flow City in the early years, and fought with the army of the Giant Demon King, it was a big battle......

The soldiers listened with relish, laughing from time to time, and they all thought that the somewhat fat veteran was bragging. An officer didn't think so, he called Shen Xiuming aside, and whispered: "There are many positions in the Huang Fu army, guarding the warehouse, passing orders, copying official documents, etc., you need someone to do it, I see that you can write, and you are more stable, so it is better to ......"

"Do you think I can't charge into battle?" Shen Xiuming puffed up his muscles all over his body, and his face was flushed.

The officer hurriedly waved his hand, "Of course I didn't mean that......" he smiled, "You are the person that Empress Xun and the Great Fu Master of the Right Bi are valued for, and being a small soldier is really condescending." ”

"If I don't give in at all, I can be a small soldier...... How do you know that Empress Xun and the Great Fu Master of Youbi know me?" Shen Xiuming remembered clearly, he didn't let anyone introduce him, he signed up to join the Huang Fu Army, the war was imminent, and it was very easy to become a soldier.

The officer smiled wryly, "No, the right master of the Great Fu invites you to go to the palace to discuss matters." ”

"Now?"

"No, no, it says 'when it's convenient for you'. The officer cautiously and secretly looked at the veterans under him, and could not see the other party's eloquence.

"That'...... I'm going to finish today's training and go back in the evening, I'll have to do my best, or I'll not be as good as the young guys. Shen Xiuming moved his shoulders. I feel that the cultivation back then was still beneficial, as long as he spent some time training, he would never lose to those young people, he was a person who had opened the Seven Tricks.

"Well, you decide for yourself. That, Brother Shen, I'm not bad to you, right?" the officer looked a little apprehensive.

Shen Xiuming was stunned for a moment, remembering that he was usually called "Old Shen" and "Shen Fat", and immediately understood that the officer was afraid that he would speak ill of him in front of the right master of the Great Fu Sect. So he smiled and said: "You are a qualified officer, if you can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, you may be able to become a general." ”

The officer's eyes narrowed with laughter, "I'm the material to be a general, it's good to survive on the battlefield." ”

Shen Xiuming asked for leave to leave the camp after dinner, and walked to the palace with his helmet in his hand.

It is said that it is a palace, but it is actually a temporary camp outside the city, just like when she rushed to help the city of Broken Stream, Queen Xun refused to stay in the city. Just camp outside, not far from the recruit camp, you can see refugees walking on the main road at any time.

Shen Xiuming thought that it would be more troublesome to prove his identity, but he didn't expect that a talisman master at the gate of the palace camp would wave at him from afar. Welcome to him, "Mr. Shen, please, the right master is in the tent over there." ”

The camp is not large, and there is no royal style at all. The tent that Master Fu pointed to was also very ordinary, and Shen Xiuming walked over alone after thanking him, wondering in his heart what was the matter with Xin Youtao looking for him. He explained in detail what he saw and heard in Treading Wave City and how he met the Sacrifice King, and even built a new Tao to take his memory, but Xin Youtao refused.

As soon as he reached the door of the tent, someone inside lifted the curtain, and a young talisman master smiled at him, invited him in, and went out by himself.

There were still a few talisman masters in the tent, and they all left at this time. There are no outsiders anymore, Xin Youtao smiled and beckoned to Shen Xiuming, invited him to sit down, and then took off the nine-fold talisman crown on his head and carefully placed it on the table, "In the past, when I saw those sanctimonious old men wearing such hats, I always had to laugh in my heart, but I didn't expect it to fall on my head." ”

"Didn't you know a long time ago that you were going to be a talisman master? didn't you have this preparation?" Shen Xiuming and Xin Youtao always met several times a year, so they were not particularly cramped.

Xin Youtao sighed, "I thought that I would always live under the protection of my sister, mix with the fat as a relative of the emperor, and the crown of the talisman would be up to seven at most, and then just eat, drink, and enjoy it." ”

"Hehe, if only that were the case, can I also get some light?"

"Of course, we've been friends since childhood. ”

Shen Xiuming's heart warmed, he and Xin Youtao were not friends when they were children, but after experiencing so many things, the little friendship in the past is also precious, especially when I think of Mu Feihuang's appearance after becoming a half-demon, Xin Youtao's friendship is even more rare.

Xin Youtao sighed again, "My sister and I are bent on turning the Holy Fu Dynasty into a big backer, who would have thought that it would become a burden like a mountain, if this is a business, our sister and brother will lose a lot, people say, 'Stealing chickens does not make rice', why don't we stop eating rice, but also keep this chicken up." ”

Shen Xiuming laughed, his mood became more relaxed, and he also put the helmet on the table, compared to Xin Youtao's nine-fold talisman crown, it was a lot shorter, but it was more tough.

"If this chicken is raised, you will be prosperous. "Shen Xiuming is also a businessman, and he understands the truth that the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

The smile on Xin Youtao's face slowly disappeared, "If this chicken is raised, our sister and brother are willing to die." At least 500,000 people, Daliang, 500,000 people died in the imperial capital, burned to ashes by demon fire, and my sister and I are responsible for this. ”

"How can this be your responsibility? There are emperors and ministers, and no one would have imagined that such a thing would happen. ”

"No, Daliang, that's not the case, my sister and I are ambitious, we are the ones who seize power, since we have taken it, we must be responsible for the power, and we are responsible for the entire Holy Rune Dynasty. Of course, the emperor is also responsible, so he personally went to the country of treading waves, hoping to persuade the army there to rush to support Fuhai City, my sister is not very optimistic about this mission, the new king of treading waves is very proud, he will not give in to the country of sacrifice, and he will not accept the emperor's orders lightly. ”

"Does a prince and king dare to disobey the emperor's order?" Shen Xiuming asked in surprise, he, like ordinary people, always felt that the emperor could mobilize the princes and kings and their armies with a single order.

"Originally, I didn't dare, but now that the shape has changed, the Holy Fu Dynasty is like an old house on fire. The fire was so strong that the people who rushed to put out the fire could themselves die inside. ”

Shen Xiuming was silent for a while, indeed, even the subjects of the Holy Fu Dynasty had doubts about defending Fuhai City, not to mention the princes of the south, and then he asked, "Why don't we go to the Wave Country? ”

Xin Youtao parted the talisman crown and helmet on the table, pointed to the map, and said, "Because Fuhai City is the largest and can accommodate the most refugees, its location is just close to the middle of the coastline. It's not too far from the refugees in all directions, and my sister chose this place, saying that the Holy Rune Dynasty has lost too many people, and the survivors can no longer be ravaged by the demon clan. ”

Shen Xiuming looked at Xin Youtao and said slowly: "My eldest son was taken away by Dao Tong, he must be safe, my wife and younger son...... Stay in the imperial capital forever. You say it's your responsibility and Queen Smoke's, but I know who the enemy is. Unfortunately, I didn't dare to do anything to him at the time. It's probably useless to do it. I used to regret and blame myself, but now I think about it, why should I die at the hands of the sacrificial king? That doesn't make sense, so I'm going to join the Huang Fu Army. I'm going to go to battle until I've cut down at least one demon soldier, and I can't let go of the burden on my heart. Xin Youtao, allow me to call you that. I can sense the weight of the burden in Queen Xun's heart, she regrets and blames herself more than me, and I hope to do something for her. Let her let go of this burden a little. Look at the endless stream of refugees outside, they didn't come to Fuhai City, they all heard that Queen Xun was here. Xin Youtao, say, what are you going to let me do?"

Xin Youtao looked at Shen Xiuming in surprise, and slowly stood up, although they were friends and had kept in touch for many years, he never thought that Shen Xiuming was a great person, he would give money, land, and introduce business, but he never wanted Shen Xiuming to enter the court as an official.

But Shen Xiuming's words surprised him, and before he mentioned anything, Shen Xiuming guessed his true intentions, which were as accurate as if he had taken the memory from his brain.

"My sister is about to break down, she keeps going to see the refugees, the more she sees it, the more she blames herself, she wants everyone to come to Floating Sea City, but she lacks confidence in whether she can hold this place. ”

Xin Youtao glanced down at the map, and couldn't tell how much confidence he had, "This is a decisive battle, the King of Sacrifice doesn't want to wait any longer, he wants to completely destroy the Holy Fu Dynasty in Fuhai City, and then wave his army south to attack the country of treading waves, Emperor Ci is forced by me to go to the country of treading waves, not to move the rescue soldiers, but to take refuge temporarily." It is a good thing that the Fu Gong masters destroyed the demon array of the sacrificial country, but it also attracted a larger demon army, with a total of seven roads and at least 500,000 demon soldiers. There are about 300,000 on our side, half of whom are recruits. ”

"We can go to war. "Shen Xiuming is an old recruit.

Xin Youtao smiled slightly, "Another huge demon army is stopped at sea, they will not participate in the war, Xiao Qingtao tried to persuade them to change their minds and join forces with humans, but I don't expect it to be successful." ”

"Join forces with the demon clan? Shen Xiuming said loudly that his hatred of the demon clan had reached its peak.

Xin Youtao smiled again and continued: "Fuhai City lacks everything, the most important thing is the lack of confidence, my sister blames herself, but she does inspire the fighting spirit of a large number of people, that is the fighting spirit of mortality, just like you, but I need soldiers who are alive." The King of Sacrifice wants this battle to be a decisive battle, but I want to take it as the beginning, if everyone dies on the battlefield, how can humanity regain its homeland?"

Shen Xiuming blinked, a little unable to keep up with Xin Youtao's train of thought.

"My sister and Fuhai City need Mu Xingqiu, the fighting spirit and tenacity that he guarded Broken Flow City back then, the spread of his name in everyone's ears, and the miracle he created. Most critically, he is needed. ”

Shen Xiuming on the opposite side became more and more surprised, Xin Youtao took out a black jade statue from his arms, gently placed it between the two helmets, and added: "Whether it's true or not, as long as it's Mu Xingqiu." ”
