The picture gradually became clear in Su Wen's mind, and Su Wen finally saw the characters in the picture clearly.
"Is he an ink artist?!"
Su Wen saw that the man was wearing a homespun robe, which was full of patches, and his trousers were smeared with mud. There was a backpack next to him. There was a big word "ink" engraved on the box, so Su Wen concluded that
He is a poet.
The most conspicuous thing is that there is a rusty epee beside the man, with a blade full of gaps. The epee is nearly one meter and three meters long and weighs at least one hundred kilograms. It is extraordinary to be able to use such a heavy weapon, not to mention the sequence.
How tall he is, at least his physical strength is amazing.
The man still had a beard, but it was messy and unkempt, making him look particularly aged.
At first glance, they look somewhat similar to Liu Sandao and Nangong.
"Could he be Uncle Liu's brother?"
Su Wen thought this way.
But he had never heard Liu Sandao mention having brothers, and Nangong had never mentioned having a son besides Liu Sandao.
"Aha..."
The man in the picture suddenly let out a sigh, took out a wine flask from his suitcase, raised his head and poured wine into his mouth, but after letting him shake it for a long time, not a drop of wine fell from the flask.
"There is still a sound..."
Su Wen was surprised for a while.
"Of course... Dad, when we get in touch with Chongguang Bing, we can still bring him together and talk face to face..."
Earthly Branch said flatteringly: "If this guy is of no use to us, we can just take back the heavy light soldiers..."
"Chongguang soldiers?!"
Su Wen thought for a while, but he wasn't very familiar with this name... He was stunned for a while before he understood what the Earthly Branches meant.
The components of the earthly branches are all made up of the number of heavenly stems and the names of hundreds of families.
The number of heavenly stems is A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui.
But the Heavenly Stems still have more original names, which are used to commemorate the year. They are: "阏雍, Zhanmeng, Rouzhao, Qiangyu, Zhuyong, Tuwei, Shangzhang, Chongguang, Xuanxuan, Zhaoyang".
The Earthly Branches used the earlier name to name the components. Chongguang Bing was simply Xin Bing.
It's just that... simply calling it Xin Bing may be mistaken.
"It turned out that I was wrong... This is not a name that someone can come up with after a few hundred years of cerebral thrombosis. No one can reach this level after a few thousand years."
Su Wen exhaled quietly and thought to himself, why don't he discuss it with the Earthly Branch and help him change the names of these awkward components? At least change them to something that people can understand.
Just then I thought about it, the name of the Earthly Branches component was actually given by Earthly Branches in order to prevent the name from being too easy to guess, so they mastered the conditions for containing it and contained it.
It was also because of the mysterious shadow that Su Wen intervened and finally contained the Earthly Branches.
As for the names of the ten components of the Earthly Branches, he knew them but didn't know what they were. Since the Earthly Branches were not revealed, he had to combine them one by one and finally use the combination method to crack the secret.
"Xin Bing..."
When Su Wen shouted this name in his heart, he suddenly discovered that the environment in the depths of his mind was constantly changing.
"Hey...what happened?!"
The man in the image also tightened his grip on the epee beside him in fear. A cloud of mist suddenly filled his body, and then enveloped him. Moreover, he also discovered that the mist was actually emanating from the jade buckle of his belt.
There was absolutely no time to react, and no way to avoid it.
"Boom..."
Su Wen suddenly found himself sitting in front of the long bronze table that he had seen twice.
And sitting at the end of the long table, closest to the throne, he is considered the first person under the throne.
The man in the picture was standing at the end of the long table with a confused look on his face, looking frightened.
At this time, he found himself in a vast ocean, but at his feet was a dilapidated temple. The temple only had dilapidated buildings and a long table covered with rust.
The tables and chairs around the long table were empty, except for an invisible shadow on the opposite side, entrenched on the seat, staring lazily at him, like a devil at the end of the abyss, eyeing his prey.
"..."
"Dad, don't talk yet."
Su Wen was about to speak, but Earthly Branch's voice sounded in his heart: "He doesn't understand the situation, let him talk first."
Su Wen understood immediately.
The Earthly Branches pulled him and the Mohist into the space left by the phantom... No, this space should not be the phantom, but the world of the Earthly Branches, but that terrifying existence controlled the Earthly Branches and thus occupied
He reached the top of the world and made the Earthly Branches surrender, thus he also gained control over the Earthly Branches.
At this time, the Earthly Branches opened their inner world to him, but they still retained enough respect for that terrifying existence. The throne that stood high and overlooked everything should belong to that terrifying phantom.
"where is this place?"
Sure enough, the man spoke first.
While speaking, he tightened his grip on the jade button in his hand. He wanted to throw it away several times, but he couldn't let it go.
At least he knew that there was something wrong with the jade button that brought him here. If he wanted to leave this place, he had to rely on the jade button. If he lost it, he might not be able to go back.
"Xie Xun is an extraordinary military strategist and is good at leading troops. He was originally the right general of the shogunate of Changning Marquis. He got into a dispute with the Crown Prince of Changning Marquis and killed him in anger. He abandoned his official position and fled. Finally, he fled to Guixu incognito."
Su Wen looked at the information conveyed by the Earthly Branches through the files, and seemed to be speaking carelessly, but what he said made Xie Xun clenched his fists!
It has been five years since he returned home from exile!
In the past five years, no one has learned his true identity. Even when he entered Guixu, he used a pseudonym that seemed to be his true identity. In the past few years, he used the false identity to get around well.
, no one has ever doubted it.
But before the shadow, all his disguises were useless.
"You, how do you know?!"
Cold sweat broke out on Xie Xun's forehead.
But then his eyes flashed fiercely.
He is a rank-4 military strategist. Over the years, more than a hundred enemies have died under his hands. He has even killed ruthless men of rank-5. Although the phantom is mysterious, he does not feel that he cannot kill him.
Chance.
"You want to do something?"
Cold sweat broke out on Su Wen's back, but Earthly Branch reminded him that Xie Xun's consciousness was just pulled into the secret realm. In fact, he was still in the same place, and there was no threat at all.
Since he couldn't be harmed, Su Wen immediately became nervous.
Risk-free pretense...who wouldn't?
"Just try it...chichichi..."
Su Wen even laughed disdainfully.
The information that Earthly Branches can obtain from the component is also quite limited. The reason is not that the component is not powerful, but that the component is a treasure that Xie Xun obtained not long ago.
Xie Xun also knew that the component was a taboo item that was not weak in power, so he was always on guard against it, so there was not much information that could be obtained from the component.
"Are you the will of forbidden objects?"
As expected, Xie Xun thought of the problem in the component parts.
"Although I haven't been able to completely contain you, it's impossible for you to harm me." Xie Xun is still a little confident about this. He found the jade button when he killed several extraordinary people who had done many evil things and searched their treasures.
, after identification, he determined that it was a taboo object with excellent defensive capabilities, and also mastered some defense-stimulating functions, which could save lives at critical moments.
But because he did not fully grasp the performance of the jade buckle, he also arranged many defense mechanisms on it to check and balance the special damage attributes of the forbidden objects. Unexpectedly, his arrangements were ineffective.
"wrong……"
"That's not a taboo item..."
Su Wen pretended to be profound: "It's just a communicator that gives you the opportunity to listen to my voice. It's not a forbidden object, let alone a treasure..."
"Dad... people are very precious..."
The Earthly Branches were protesting in a low voice.
But Xie Xun couldn't hear its sound.
"Communicator..."
Xie Xun was shocked.
There is only one kind of communicator that he knows, and that is Wenyin.
He also possesses a text seal, which is a necessity in Guixu. Wenling Palace will often send some reminder messages to extraordinary people. If they fail to receive the message in time, they may die.
But the price of text seals is not low. He had been a military attaché in the Yan Kingdom for many years, and he could only afford a very small text seal. When he came to Guixu, he sold it and borrowed money from Wenling Palace to replace it.
It took him three years to repay this debt for a better-performing text seal.
Fortunately, the seal was not damaged, otherwise this would have been a huge loss.
But the expensive text printing machine can only receive and send basic text. How can it be compared with the situation he is experiencing now?
He was directly pulled in front of him by the mysterious shadow in front of him.
Xie Xun was not stupid, and he also heard the mystery from Su Wen's words: "So... I am not really in front of you?" He maintained respect for Su Wen, but he seemed to have figured out his situation, and
Not very worried anymore.
"you guess……"
Su Wen smiled faintly, but secretly thought he was careless.
He shouldn't have said too much and let the other party guess the truth.
Following Su Wen's words, Xie Xun was no longer calm.
"no?"
He doubted himself.
"Are you in trouble now?"
Su Wen avoided the topic.
"well enough……"
Xie Xun did not continue the previous topic.
"It's not a dilemma. Similar situations have happened many times. Wenling Palace will come to help soon..."
Xie Xun is a tough talker and doesn't want Su Wen to know about his current predicament.
"Really? How long can you hold on to the fortress?"
Su Wen asked again.
"At least a month!"
Xie Xun straightened his back and responded.
"real?"
Su Wen sneered. If Earthly Branch hadn't found information about Xie Xun's situation, he would have believed it.
“Ten days is no problem!”
Hearing Su Wen's sneer again, Xie Xun let out a long sigh, his tone already a little helpless: "Wenling Palace has sent a message saying that reinforcements are on the way...I can hold on for at least three to five days..."
"Then can you hold on until reinforcements arrive?"
Su Wen felt that this guy was so boastful that he was the only one left in the entire fortress. As long as Weigui launched a wave of charges, the entire fortress would be destroyed!
"...Uh... The boss is really powerful. He can see through my vulnerability at a glance. Help me!"
When Xie Xun heard Su Wen's sneer, he couldn't hold back any longer, knelt on the ground and screamed.
