Chapter 219 Scene 28: Thirteen in the Red Armored Prairie Fire
As midnight approaches, the twin moon gradually rises from the horizon, and the sound of banging is heard intermittently from outside the square wall. Along with it, there are loud orders and uniform steps from the patrolling armed guards in Yujing City.
Ning Yue and his daughter, who had been hiding in the east of the city for a whole day, also took advantage of the darkness to get out of a dilapidated firewood shed. The terrible accident that happened in the palace caused the entire Yujing to collapse in the evening. A curfew has been implemented. Now all the gates of every district and city are closed, and the 12th Armed Guard Army has also been mobilized. Even a wild cat can no longer easily move around the city.
However, Feng Weishu brought the girl here to hide before the curfew. This place is called Wenluofang. There is only a seemingly abandoned house within the walls of the place. It is unknown since when no one has managed and repaired it. Nowadays, the willow garden flowers on the inner steps of the square have long since withered and withered, and the screen wall has also been partially collapsed. Only the weeds growing all over the courtyard are so strong that they are no more than an adult's knees, covering up the broken wells scattered among them. Walls and dilapidated houses.
This house was a secret hiding place that Gao Li purchased for himself in the city. As the so-called Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves, there are two more courtyards like this outside the city. What he did was to break up with Kun Jie. Later, Feng Weishu accidentally learned of their existence during his previous contact with Gao Li.
Now, the once tall man has died in the Ten Thousand Years Palace, and this courtyard that has lost its rightful owner has become the most stable place in Yujing City, where he can bring his daughter here for a while. To avoid.
But what the father and daughter did not expect was that there were still living people wandering around in the supposedly vacant courtyard. As soon as they leaned forward, they saw several figures entering the door along the corner. The two had no choice but to sneak into the backyard quietly. Their whereabouts were hidden in the firewood shed. Seeing the dim lights that stayed on for a long time in the house, they couldn't help but hesitate whether they should leave under the cover of night or venture forward to take a closer look.
"Could they be some thieves who took advantage of the war to enter the city and commit robberies and robberies? Otherwise, how could they be like us and run around in violation of the curfew and not turn off the lights in the middle of the night?"
Ning Yue asked while holding her voice, but she didn't let her father get any closer.
Feng Weishu shook his head firmly:
"Yue'er, don't you feel it? Ever since these people entered the hospital, there has been an obvious but somewhat weird force spreading over them -"
"Could this group of people be with Kun Jie?!"
The girl couldn't help but screamed in surprise, and then quickly covered her mouth with her hands, "Then if we don't leave quickly, if we continue to stay here, won't we be falling into a trap?"
However, before she finished speaking, her father beside her stood up, muttering something in his mouth, and walked towards the door of the lighted room.
As he approached the other person step by step, the people in the house quickly noticed that something was wrong with the situation outside the door. They immediately pushed the door open and went out, but they were alone. They saw him standing ten steps in front of Feng Weishu. He was also mumbling something, but he did not attack the uninvited guests in the courtyard.
Ning Yue looked at her father and each other as if they were possessed. They were just standing in the courtyard, but they seemed to be fixed, neither moving forward nor retreating. At the same time, a swampy mist suddenly filled the room. .
The girl was worried, and immediately stepped forward to pull Feng Weishu's cuffs with her hands, but she felt a stinging pain coming from her fingertips, which was actually shot away by an invisible electric light surrounding her father's body.
It was only then that she discovered that her father's eyes were as gray as a dead person. The opponent opposite him also looked like this. Ning Yue was shocked and suddenly realized that this might be the person that Granny Cen once had with her. Mentioned but never taught the soul-obsessing spell. This spell is the most profound spell among the Cangxi, and only the great priests of the Cangyu clan have enough concentration to activate it.
The soul-obsessing curse does not use ordinary wind, thunder, lightning and fire as a means of attack, but competes with the mental strength of both parties in "settlement". Once the winner is determined, the losing party will definitely suffer severe backlash. The lighter one will be disabled, and the worst one will be disabled. Then he will be killed.
However, in thousands of years, no high priest has ever actually activated this technique. Ning Yue never thought that she would actually see someone using the Soul-Forcing Curse to fight with her own eyes today, but she did not dare to do it easily again. Make a noise to disturb.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Feng Weishu suddenly let out a muffled groan, as if his soul had returned to its original state, and regained consciousness. However, he was unable to continue to support his body. He staggered back a few steps, and then suddenly fell backwards.
Seeing this, the girl rushed forward to help her father, but saw that his clothes were soaked through. On the other hand, the man opposite him was bleeding from all his orifices and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Yue'er, are you okay?"
Before she could speak, Feng Weishu was the first to ask about her daughter's safety. Ning Yue shook her head gently, then took out a small handkerchief and wiped away the cold sweat that was still flowing from her father's forehead, her eyes were dead. Staring at the man on the ground:
"He looks only a few years older than me. Why can he cast the soul-obsessing curse?"
Hearing Ning Yue accurately say that the move she used was successful, Feng Weishu's expression was a little surprised at first, and then a light of relief appeared in his eyes:
"Indeed, the reason why my father used the Soul-Forcing Curse tonight was really because he didn't want to attract the attention of the patrolling guards nearby. There are very few people in the world who can take this spell. I thought I could defeat the enemy with one move, but unexpectedly, I was The other party took it hard and almost lost at his hands! It’s just that——”
Feng Weishu said, suddenly paused, as if he was not sure about what he was going to say next, "It's just that the breathing that this person used obviously did not originate from the Dharma Hall, but with the help of some other power. I was able to activate it just now. It seems, like——"
"It's Xuangui!"
Ning Yue was suddenly startled, and without caring about the danger, she quickly walked to the man on the ground and pulled off a necklace from his chest. She saw a mysterious star the size of a grape hanging on the necklace. Rose, glowing strangely under the night.
When Feng Weishu saw this, he couldn't help but suddenly realized: "No wonder I feel that this person looks familiar. It turns out that I have indeed met Kun Jie before. He seems to be some recently promoted law enforcement elder."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the man on the ground suddenly burst into laughter:
"The great priest has a good memory! I, Nie Sheng, will use my life to help the leader kill you today!"
Ning Yue screamed in fright and quickly jumped away from the other party. Only then did she realize that he could not even move a finger and was relying on his breath to survive. Feng Weishu also had a look of fear on his face and then committed suicide. A large mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth and spread all over the floor. He was still seriously injured:
"You guys - you actually used the forbidden magic in the clan! Using the mysterious rose to activate the spell will definitely backfire on the caster. In the end, no one among you will be able to survive!"
"So what? As long as we can find the Holy City, why do we need to cherish our lives!"
"Did Qi Shouyu of Ye State also use the soul-forcing curse before to harm Zi Yin's father and put the blame on him?!"
Ning Yue suddenly understood and rushed forward to question again.
Nie Sheng chuckled and did not deny it:
"Although the number of our people is not as large as that of the people on land, with this method, we can help the first to build an unprecedentedly powerful army. After today, no one in the world can stop us! Those people on land can't do that. , you Feng Weishu are even less capable!"
"Tell me! Has Kunjie taught this method to everyone in the clan? Is he going to lead the clan to the Holy City and use the lives of the entire clan as a bet to activate the ancestors' magic circle in order to complete his own revenge?!"
Feng Weishu seemed to have guessed the next plan of his old enemy. He propped up his weak body and walked to the opponent and wanted to ask again, but Nie Sheng refused to reveal another word no matter what, and spit out After taking the last breath filled with blood foam, he died like this.
"What do we do next?"
The girl raised her head and looked at her father in front of her, worried about his health and worried about the tribesmen who had no idea but followed Kun Jie northward to find the holy city.
Feng Weishu did not answer his daughter's question. Because at this time, even he did not know how else to stop Kun Jie, who had fallen into madness and was putting his plan into action step by step. What's more, the other party He had no idea what the next step was going to be and what kind of disaster it would bring.
In the second year of Zhaoxi, on June 11th, noon passed and the sun turned to the west.
Changzhou, which had been raining for several days, finally cleared up on this day. All the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, leaving only a few thin clouds as thin as cotton hanging on the horizon. The blue sky also seemed to be polished. The gem glows with a light blue light that makes it difficult to open your eyes.
Just after lunch, Jiang Yan suddenly proposed that he wanted to go for a walk by Yushui and invited Qi Ziyin to accompany him. The young man in white readily agreed, vaguely feeling that his companion seemed to have something to say to him.
The two of them headed south from Chiwumen in Yujing. After arriving at Longshou Ferry, they ordered all the accompanying guards to stay there. Then they rode horses and galloped westward for more than ten miles without stopping. meaning.
Qi Ziyin felt more and more that the other party's behavior was somewhat abnormal, so he pinched the side of his mount hard, caught up with the reins in his hands behind the horse, and stopped Wu Chen forcefully:
"Jiang Yan, you asked me out because you have something to say, right?"
The black stallion stood up in shock at the sudden obstruction, and then snorted in dissatisfaction. However, the owner on its back did not pay attention at all, and continued to look at the horizon in silence.
At present, the entrance of Yushui can be vaguely seen. After a long time, he murmured:
"Ziyin, did you know that I am from Changzhou? I came from a fishing village that no longer exists on the banks of the Yushui River?"
As soon as these words came out, the young Duke Ye didn't know how to proceed. He knew that his companion had a tragic childhood. However, after knowing each other for so many years, he had never mentioned it as he did today.
However, Jiang Yan on the side just said to himself, as if he was not asking for the opinions of his companions at all, nor did he care how much he heard:
"...but now, I can no longer remember where my hometown is. I don't even know where to go even to express my condolences to my parents..."
"If you want to find it, I will do my best to help you. You can always find it given time."
Qi Ziyin comforted him, but saw the other party shook his head vigorously:
"Even if I find it, what's the use? Everyone in the village, including my parents, is no longer alive. Even the only sister they entrusted to me is dead and missing, and her whereabouts are unknown. I just hate, hate those who killed them. Man, I hate those people who have scattered my family and made them homeless!"
The black-eyed boy gradually gritted his teeth. After saying that, he actually took out a necklace from his arms. The pendant of the necklace was made of sterling silver. In the center of the white crystal embedded in it, there was a touch of pure red that looked like a small fish. , particularly eye-catching in the sun.
“Isn’t this—Ning Yue’s necklace?”
The young man wearing the silver mask said in surprise, but he didn't know what the other party's move meant.
Jiang Yan suddenly raised his eyes, and there was an indescribable sadness in his dark pupils with water lines:
"I used to be a soldier of the Ye Kingdom, a useless southerner in the eyes of the Shuodi people. But now, I have become the great and rare one of those grassland people who once regarded me as their mortal enemy. I just can't understand that we are all human beings. What is the reason for killing each other and hating each other?"
"Jiang Yan, what do you mean by these things?"
The young Duke Ye became increasingly confused. However, what the other party said next made him immediately change his expression:
"Zi Yin, if Yue'er is not of the same race as us, or even of the same species, what would you do if it were you?"
"Jiang Yan, what are you talking about?"
"The necklace in my hand originally belonged to my sister! Now it is in Yue'er's hands, so she must know who killed my relatives and destroyed my home back then!"
Qi Ziyin was suddenly stunned when his best friend yelled. He had never thought before that the problem that the other party had been hiding in his heart would be so sharp and bloody. But now, he had no way of judging the facts. What is the truth, and I don’t know how to comfort him. I just instinctively avoided the pair of painted eyes in front of me:
"Perhaps there is some misunderstanding -"
However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yan interrupted him with an angry shout: "You don't even believe me?!"
The boy in white finally became anxious and couldn't help but raise his tone:
"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that Jiang Yan, do you know how much Ning Yue likes you in her heart? Could it be that you went south to look for someone this time, not to save her from danger, but to seek revenge on her?!"
Mu Yunbu and Han, who were wearing red armor, were suddenly questioned. For so many days, he had been driven by anger, but he had never asked himself why he had to stubbornly leave Yanluoyuan and why he had to come. Yu Jing risked his life. All this was not only to pursue a truth, but also not because he still had unbreakable feelings for the red-haired girl. He shook his head and put the necklace in his hand again. Stuffed back into his arms:
"I - I don't know. I am actually a person who is afraid of being alone, but now I am like a man possessed, pushing all the people close to me away one by one - I -"
The young He Han hesitated, but it was difficult to organize the chaotic thoughts in his mind into a sentence. However, at this moment, a Red Flame Army cavalry came running from behind the two of them. With an iron finger,
In his hand, he held tightly a letter that had just been taken off Mo Crow's feet:
"Princess Tuya, princess, she has sent a message!"
The black-eyed boy's face changed when he heard this. He immediately had a premonition that something had happened to Yanluo. He didn't care to talk to his companion beside him anymore, so he reached out and took the silk book handed to him and flattened it.
, read it carefully.
But on the thin white silk, there were only two extremely scrawled words that made people's hair stand on end:
"Wolf attack."
