Three days later, King Luo of the Southern Territory sent a flying letter back to Fengtian City.
After the fall of the Tiancheng Jiaming City, it didn't take long for another Tiancheng to be captured by demons.
The city was in ruins, and there were countless casualties. The soldiers who defended the city died in the battle, and only a few people from the Demon Slayer Division survived.
The news about the Garuda clan that Emperor Ming ordered to be sealed was also spread out during this disaster. Even if it was not widely known, it was not far off, and people were panicked for a while.
Twenty years ago, the tragic battle at Zhenling Pass resurfaced in the minds of the world, and it seemed that it was about to happen again.
In the imperial study room, Emperor Ming frowned as he looked at the flying book sent back by King Luo.
The content of the letter is the description of the demon slayers who survived in Tiancheng before and after the ghost trouble occurred——
The Garuda tribe appeared out of thin air outside the Celestial City, and a strange giant black Buddha broke through the city's protective barrier.
The enemy is so powerful that the defensive force is simply not enough to compete with it.
There was also a top expert among them. Chuanyun killed Demon Slayer Si Sizheng directly with an arrow, but they didn't even see clearly who shot him.
The enemy destroyed the Dragon Suppressing Tower and took away the Dragon Suppressing Monument. Someone also set up a formation and extracted the dragon veins and spirits.
After all this was done, the Garuda people ripped off the hearts of a large number of people. It was not until King Luo's army and the god general Feng Gui Bai Wuyou arrived that the enemy fled away.
boom!
Emperor Ming slammed the letter onto the document. Eunuch Li on the side saw it and was as silent as a cicada.
At this time, someone came from the Tianjian Imperial Master's oral instructions - "Your Majesty, tomorrow will be the time to go to war."
...
Not long after, Liu Tianlu and Lieying received the imperial edict from Emperor Ming. It was the time for the expedition, and they all knew the news that the Garuda tribe had appeared in the southern region and caused disaster.
On the martial arts field between the Shenhou Army and the Wuhou Army, Liu Tianlu and Lieying stood in the center of the stands, looking down at the soldiers, all with solemn expressions.
Needless to say, everyone is well aware of the power and terror of the Garuda clan. It is no exaggeration to describe this expedition to the Southern Region as a narrow escape from death.
The two generals also made it clear that if a soldier is an only son, has an old mother at home, and a wife and children to support, he can be excluded from this expedition and they will not deal with it according to military law.
After saying these words, there was silence in both martial arts arenas. The bodies of the soldiers stood upright. Although there was fear in their hearts, their eyes were extremely determined.
They would rather die standing than live on their knees!
Almost at the same moment, all the soldiers shouted together, and the word "kill" resounded over the martial arts field, and it lingered for a long time.
Liu Tianlu and Lieying were moved and moved, and then asked all the soldiers to return home, reunite with their families, and say goodbye before the expedition.
...
"Dad, please go and see grandma, her eyes are always red."
"Girl, don't be impatient, there's sand in your eyes." The muscular man stroked the girl's head with his rough palms and smiled silently...
"Son, when are you going to go on an expedition with General Liu?" the old father asked with a stooped body. One of his legs was missing. It was an injury left when the soldiers killed demons.
"Just tomorrow." The man wiped the armor inch by inch. Every mark on it was his past achievements.
The old father patted the man on the shoulder, his voice choked with sobs: "Don't embarrass the Shenhou Army."
"Don't worry, Dad, you won't lose if you kill one, but you will gain blood if you kill two." The man raised the long knife in his hand, and the blade shone with a clear light...
"Tie Zhu, can we not go?" A woman with a vicissitudes of face had red eyes and a trembling voice.
The middle-aged man didn't answer, but just smiled and asked: "Mom, I want to drink the noodle soup you made tonight."
The wrinkles on the old woman's face seemed to have increased a lot at this moment, and she burst into tears: "Mom, I will do it for you right now to keep you satisfied."
The sad separation is almost played out in every soldier's home.
Lord Don't laugh when you are lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times?
...
At the Qin family's residence, Cang Zong and Cang Mu all received news from Mr. Cang Xuan.
The copper coffin of ancestor Longyuan in Tianchi moved unexpectedly, and the Garuda clan reappeared. How could the Dragon clan sit idly by and ignore it?
In fact, Emperor Ming had already sent Yu Luo Si Yi Mian the night before to inform them of the news about the Garuda clan.
This battle is inevitable for the Dragon Clan.
The lobby, which is usually bustling with laughter and laughter, is unusually quiet today.
Everyone ate the food on the table in silence. Even the mother-in-law, who liked to chatter every time she came here, was rare and silent.
Seeing this, Qin Feng picked up the dishes for the two ladies, and said with a smile: "Everyone is silent, could it be that today's food is not to your liking?
Second brother, have you lost your appetite today? You are currently in a critical period of cultivation, and it is essential to replenish your blood and nutrients.
And Jian Li and Fei Lan, you have to eat more, even if it’s not for yourselves, you have to consider the children in your belly, they must have a big appetite."
"Okay, brother." Qin An scratched his head and replied.
After Qin Feng made such a joke, all the women at the dinner table barely smiled.
Er Niang glanced at Father Qin beside her and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, you are going to the battle tomorrow. I will give you this glass of wine to help you return triumphantly with the Shenhou Army."
Liu Tianlu raised his wine glasses, clinked them together, and drank them all in one gulp.
At this time, Cang Feilan hesitated for a while and then asked: "Dad, aunt, do you also want..."
Cang Mu interrupted with a smile: "Don't think that you don't have these things when you are raising a baby. Come on, drink more fish soup. Your mother liked to drink this the most when she was pregnant with you.
Oh, it’s so fresh~”
The dinner was eaten quickly or slowly, but in the end it was finished and everyone in the hall left one by one.
As soon as Qin Feng and Qin An stepped out of the lobby, they were stopped by their father.
Father Qin shook his head and signaled with his eyes, and the two of them followed him timidly.
Arriving in the courtyard, Father Qin raised his right hand slightly, and Qin Feng and Qin Feng subconsciously covered their faces with their arms.
I can't help it, I'm afraid of being beaten.
Father Qin rubbed his chin, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay to be afraid, you two stay in the Qin Mansion and you are not allowed to go anywhere.
Also, if Er Niang asks you about my whereabouts, what will you say?"
Qin Feng and Qin An looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Dad has found a business opportunity and is going to the Northern Territory to do business. You don't have to worry."
"Yes." Father Qin nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing the worried looks in their eyes, Father Qin touched their heads and comforted them: "Don't look like this, who is your father? The famous Northern Ghost Leader, how many existences in this world can be mine?
opponent?
What's more, this expedition is also attended by the Tianjian Imperial Master. Those extraordinary beings must also be in his old man's plan, and they won't be able to cause much trouble.
You two are at home, waiting for my triumphant return."
"Of course we believe dad."
After the words fell, Qin Feng asked again: "By the way, dad, this time we go to the Southern Territory, do you want to go alone secretly, or with the army?"
Father Qin thought for a moment and replied: "If nothing unexpected happens, I should follow the Shenhou Army. After all, we are the father-in-law, so we can take care of each other."
As for the Shenhou Army, then if I hide in the Wuhou Army, I won’t be discovered by my father... Qin Feng thought thoughtfully.
"That's it." The second brother nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
