"Young Pavilion Master, what are your plans next?"
Yun Qingyao's delicate cheeks were full of pity, and her white jade-like right hand caressed Liao Zeyu's shoulder, showing no sign of impatience. Instead, she quietly stayed with the emotionally broken man until he stopped crying, and then she expressed concern
asked.
During these nearly two moments, Xiao Wuqing stood beside the two of them like a pine tree, gently waving the folding fan in his hand, not speaking, just smiling.
When encountering such a situation, the happiest people are the young girls, young wives, and aunts and uncles on the street who are between the ages of twelve or thirteen to forty or fifty years old.
Being able to unscrupulously appreciate Xiao Qingqing's beauty in her prime, and it lasted for two seconds without interruption, the girls were so happy that they almost fainted. More and more female pedestrians gathered, almost completely surrounding the front door of Xiao's residence.
"I, I don't know." Liao Zeyu's eyes were full of pain, confusion and uneasiness, "Without the 'Dan Pavilion', there will no longer be a place for me in the world."
"Young Master Wuqingyao, the Young Pavilion Master is a close friend of Qingyao." Yun Qingyao turned to look at Xiao Wuqingyao, with a hint of pleading in her eyes, "Now that he has suffered such a disaster, he is emotionally agitated. I'm afraid it will take some time.
Come to regroup, can you let him stay temporarily in Xiao Mansion for a few days?"
"Qingyao's friends are my friends." Xiao Qingqing smiled slightly and replied softly, "Not to mention a few days, but even if you live here for a lifetime, what's the harm?"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Wu Qingyao." Yun Qingyao knelt down and gave him a solemn salute, then turned to look at Liao Zeyu, "Young Pavilion Master, I have been taken in by you and taken care of so much. Now Qingyao finally has a chance to repay you.
, please don’t refuse.”
"This..." Liao Zeyu wiped the corners of his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally failed to refuse, "Lao Qingyao, please take the trouble."
Witnessing the remains of his junior sister Song Xiaoqian, he was already devastated and felt that he would never fall in love again in this life. However, the moment he met Yun Qingyao, the deep admiration in his heart still surged into his heart unconsciously.
Not subject to rational control.
For Liao Zeyu, who had lost everything and was in deep despair, Yun Qingyao's proposal was undoubtedly a bright light in the darkness, which refreshed his spirit and restored his desire to live again.
"What did the Young Pavilion Master say?" Yun Qingyao patted him on the shoulder and said slightly affectionately, "Why are you so polite between you and me?"
Liao Zeyu's heart immediately warmed up, and he felt that this gentle, considerate, and kind-hearted beautiful woman was simply a gift from God. He looked at her nose, his eyes were slightly red, and he was so moved that he almost shed tears.
God has not completely abandoned me after all!
Since the "Dan Pavilion" catastrophe, his anxious and agitated mood gradually calmed down, and for the first time, a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
Such a good girl is really rare in the world!
Now that I have encountered her, I must devote my whole life to protecting Qingyao and never let her suffer any injustice!
When he stepped into Xiao's Mansion, this thought kept repeating in his mind, and it didn't go away for a long time.
"Zhu'er, please take Mr. Liao to the guest room to clean up and wash up first." Xiao Qingqing told a handsome maid who was coming towards him, then looked at Yun Qingyao and Liao Zeyu and said, "You two go first. Rest, Qingqing still has some things to do, I will prepare wine to entertain Brother Liao later."
The three of them exchanged a few polite words, and Yun Qingyao left with Liao Zeyu, while Xiao Qingwu walked quickly and soon arrived at the lobby of the main building.
Just as he entered the main entrance, a slender figure in front of him instantly attracted his attention.
This man looked to be under thirty years old. He was wearing a white robe with a blazing flame printed on his chest and a "swastika" pattern embroidered in the middle.
Dark Temple!
Seeing this person's attire clearly, Xiao Wuqing's expression tightened, and his heart suddenly started beating violently.
"Young Master Wu Qing, nice to meet you!" The man in white slowly turned around with a lazy smile on his face, "In Xiajial Tower."
…
Fulong Empire's territory is mostly desert and Gobi, and its products are barren. Therefore, although it has a vast territory, its national strength is not as good as that of its old enemy, Daqian Empire. Even compared with the decaying Jingyu Empire, it is very likely to be slightly inferior.
However, in the southern border area with the Land of Chaos, there are many mountainous areas with endless undulations.
Such a place with high mountains and far away rivers is the most difficult to defend and difficult to attack. The adjacent chaotic place is indeed a chaotic place with no unified political power. The major forces are obsessed with fighting for each other all day long. How can there be any Yu Li organized troops to cross mountains and ridges to attack the Fulong Empire and do that stupid and thankless thing.
Therefore, in the Fulong Empire, which has strong folk customs, only the southern region is the most peaceful and peaceful, with rich products. It almost supports more than 30% of the entire empire's output, and it can be regarded as an economic lifeline.
For the soldiers guarding the border, it would definitely be a happy thing to be stationed at the southern border.
It looks like it's going to rain again!
Gong Dinong raised his head and glanced at the dark cloudy sky, thinking to himself.
Not only are there many mountains here, but there is also abundant rain. There are more than 200 rainy days out of the 365 days a year, which is somewhat troublesome for soldiers who want to dry their clothes.
At this time, Gong Dinong didn't feel agitated at all, he just stared around quietly, taking in all the rolling mountain peaks and lush green trees, and engraved them firmly in his heart.
It's time to leave!
He thought that after experiencing such a shock, he had looked down on everything, had no joy or sorrow, and had reached a state of transparency. However, when he thought that he was about to leave this familiar land, he still felt a little reluctant in his heart.
I learned the news that the Gong family was exterminated about five days ago. Along with the letter, there was a transfer order.
Fulongwei!
The Fulong Guards, an elite force directly subordinate to His Majesty the Emperor and responsible for safeguarding the security of the Imperial Capital, total only over 120 people. Each one of them actually possesses Tianlun-level strength, which is similar to the Golden Armored Guards of the Daqian Empire.
In the transfer order from the imperial capital, the title "Deputy Commander of Fulongwei" was written clearly in black and white. For Gong Dinong, who is now just the deputy general of the border army, this is undoubtedly a big step in his official career.
.
Murong Xiu made such an arrangement, of course, not as the imperial edict stated, because he "suffered blood for the country and made outstanding contributions."
On the southern border, where there has been no war for decades, where is the opportunity for "bloodbath"?
The closest he got was when he was sparring with his coach and was accidentally hit with the back of a knife by the opponent, causing "bruise".
Even if he closed his head and guessed with his butt, he could still figure out that the emperor wanted to make up for his inner guilt and made some compensation to the Gong family.
Speaking of the Gong family, among the children of the master family who are now closely related to Gong Jiuxiao, only Gong Dinong, a nephew far away from the border, is still alive. The rest of the so-called Gong family members are all as far away as possible.
Side branch.
Even if those people usually want to establish a relationship with the master's family, most of them can't get it. In Gong Jiuxiao's eyes, their importance is not even as important as most of the retainers and generals.
From now on, will you have to face that fat man Hong Tianguan all day long?
It is said that this person is narrow-minded and stubborn, and is probably not easy to get along with. It seems that the future will not be easy!
When he thought about his life after returning to the imperial capital, he frowned unconsciously.
It turns out that the commander of Fulongwei is the strongest protector of the country, Hong, who was beaten violently by Qiu Feng Qiu Lei and others in front of the ancestral worship hall that day, and was driven out of the enemy's compound.
Heavenly Official Hong Zun.
"Go back!" Gong Dinong shook his head vigorously, throwing away all the negative emotions of nervousness and worry. He turned to the two tooth generals who were following him and said, "It's getting late, and it might rain later.
.”
"General Gong is about to return to the imperial capital. We haven't set off tonight yet." A tooth general said with a smile, "Why don't we have a drink together? Let the brothers practice it for you."
"That's fine." Gong Dinong thought for a while, then nodded and smiled, "I heard that there is a bottle of good wine hidden in the general's room, so I have to trick it out to satisfy my craving today no matter what."
The three of them laughed at the same time, and he turned his head again, reluctantly glancing at the scenery below.
Perhaps because of the last mountain patrol, the mountain scenery that used to look simple and unpretentious now actually looks extremely beautiful and intoxicating.
"General, general!" The expression of the other tooth general suddenly changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he pointed behind him. Under the excessive excitement, even his voice began to tremble, "Look, look over there!"
Gong Dinong looked back and was so shocked that one soul left his body and the other soul ascended to heaven.
People, densely packed people, countless people!
A large number of people suddenly appeared in the originally empty mountainous area.
There are men and women, old and young.
These people were dressed in different styles, including scribes, swordsmen, swordsmen, merchants, farmers... At a glance, they covered all walks of life and all professions.
What shocked Gong Dinong even more was the agility displayed by these people.
Everyone has a strong body and light steps. Even a young man in his twenties or an old man is leaping and leaping, as light as a swallow, walking on the rugged mountain road that is very difficult for ordinary people.
Walking on flat ground.
Practitioner!
These thousands of strangely dressed intruders turned out to be all powerful practitioners, and each of them held weapons such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, axes, hammers, sticks and spears.
The invaders' clothing and weapons were all messy and untidy, but everyone had a restrained spirit and a fierce look in their eyes. Even from a long distance, one could feel the ferocious aura of these people.
I don’t know how our Gong family has offended God!
The day before returning to Beijing, I actually encountered such a strange thing that has never happened in a century!
Gong Dinong covered his forehead with his hands and frowned, feeling that the whole world seemed to be targeting the Gong family, and even his last lone seedling could not get a moment of peace.
"Report to the commander quickly, just say it's an enemy attack!" He sighed deeply and gave the order to the general behind him, "The enemy comes from a place of chaos."
"The Land of Chaos actually dares to attack our Fulong Empire?" Yajiang's eyes were full of disbelief.
At this time, the intruders on the opposite side seemed to have discovered Gong Dinong's traces. A one-armed man in the lead let out a shout, and several figures suddenly jumped out from the surging crowd, walking as fast as flying and at extremely fast speeds.
Three people came.
"withdraw!"
Gong Dinong's expression changed, he gave a light drink, turned around and ran away with his two men, not daring to hesitate at all.
When he thought about it, as long as he was the deputy general of the border army and a master of Tianlun, he would never be stopped by a group of miscellaneous troops as long as he didn't seek death.
However, the three of them had just escaped a few steps. Among the intruders who were chasing after them, five figures suddenly stood up from the ground and jumped into the sky. They actually showed the ability to walk on the wind and fly across the void.
It narrowed the distance between the two parties.
Gong Dinong was running for his life when he suddenly felt a vast and majestic terrifying momentum falling from the sky and falling hard on him. The spiritual power in his body disappeared instantly. His legs and feet went weak and he fell to the ground immediately. Under the action of inertia,
The whole person rolled forward and hit a big tree in the mountain.
What the hell?
He struggled hard, twisted his neck and looked back, only to see five figures in the sky attacking from the air with the power of the powerful Spirit Master.
There are actually five spiritual masters!
The border troops are in danger!
This was Gong Dinong's last thought in his life.
Then, all he felt was darkness before his eyes, and then there was no more feeling...
…
The same scene is happening on the border of the Daqian Empire adjacent to the Chaos Land.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
The young border guard shouted at the soldiers at the top of his lungs.
This general's surname was Zeng Zhiwei. He was the eldest son of "Midnight General" Zeng Rui and the eldest brother of Zeng Xiaoxian.
During the Battle of the Imperial Capital, he served as the deputy general of the East Gate garrison. With the assistance of Nangong Ling and the governor of Northern Xinjiang, Leng Qianqiu, he successfully withstood the fierce offensive of Duguhao and his son, the governor of China and Zhejiang.
After the rebellion subsided, Li Jiuye transferred him here as the chief general in order to commend the Zeng family for their contributions.
In the emperor's view, the major forces in the Chaotic Land are obsessed with internal fighting. All day long, either you beat me, I beat you, or I beat him together with you. There is no unity at all, and there is no way to move forward. Coming to invade Daqian, there is almost no danger in the position of border guard.
After "gilding" here for a year or two, Zeng Zhiwei will be transferred back to the imperial capital and entrusted with important tasks because of his "defense at the border". From then on, his career will be bright.
As the eldest son of Zeng, Zeng Zhiwei didn't understand these conventional routines, so he came to the border completely in the mood of vacation, intending to take advantage of the fact that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he can enjoy himself for two years before talking about it.
However, the horrific scene in front of him was like a heavy blow to the head, almost making him unable to take care of himself.
The land of chaos actually launched an unprecedented attack on the Daqian border.
Looking at the figures floating in the air opposite, Zeng Zhiwei's face was full of bitterness, almost thinking that he was in a dream.
Seventeen spiritual masters!
How can it be!
In the battles of the secular empire, the army commanders often only have Tianlun cultivation level, and there are very few spiritual master level existences. Even in the top battles like the border of Xiqi Province, if Piaohua Palace, Daqian and Fu are not included, Both sides of the dragon only dispatched four or five powerful spiritual masters.
And this motley army, which was in a scattered and patchwork formation, actually had seventeen powerful spiritual masters, forming a destructive force.
In Zeng Zhiwei's view, no force in the entire Daqian Empire can compete with such a luxurious lineup.
Apart from firing the scarce Spirit-Breaking Arrows like crazy for free, he could only shout "Retreat" and had no good strategy to deal with the enemy.
Unlike Xiao Wuhen, Zeng Zhiwei did not discover any secrets of soul-eating corals. The only remaining soul-eating arrows in the army lasted less than half a moment before they were all consumed.
Without the restraints of the broken spirit arrows, a dozen spirit masters on the side of the chaotic army no longer had any scruples. They left their troops behind and came in the air. From a high position, they easily broke through the high wall and rushed into the Daqian army formation, swaying their terrifying weapons wantonly. Psychic skills.
For a time, screams came one after another, and countless blood splashed into the sky and fell one after another, like red raindrops falling from the sky, filled with a sad atmosphere.
God, if this is a nightmare, please let me wake up quickly!
Looking at the tragic situation around him, Zeng Zhiwei fell to his knees with a plop, his face turned earth-colored, his eyes dull, and a deep despair could not stop welling up in his heart.
However, what he was waiting for was not the awakening from a dream, but the violent iron fist of a powerful spiritual master...
…
The Zhenbei Army, as its name suggests, is the lion guarding the border of Daqianbei.
Different from the chaotic land, what borders the northern Xinjiang is the Chi tribe's territory, which Li Jiuye calls "the people of the outside world".
Although these underdeveloped civilizations are not highly intellectually enlightened, their folk customs are often strong and their fighting power is astonishing. Each tribesman has endless strength and physical fitness. When fighting with ordinary soldiers, they can even defeat an enemy. Five, very powerful.
However, in the frequent battles with the Chi tribe, the Zhenbei Army has been tempered and continuously strengthened itself. Now, in every battle, it can achieve one-to-one battle losses, and even occasionally suppress the opponent. It can be regarded as a true victory. The heroic army of hundreds of battles, the iron-blooded magic weapon.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At this time, the familiar sound of the Chi clan's war drums resounded through the sky, filling the area outside the Daqian border.
"Are you here again?" Nangong Yu got up from the table and rubbed his sleepy eyes, "These barbarians really don't know how to learn lessons!"
"If they want to fight, the Zhenbei Army will naturally accompany them to the end!"
The cold and melodious voice of Zhenbei Army coach Yu Xuanji sounded next to him.
"I've been fighting all day long, and I don't know when it will end." Nangong Yu stood up, put on Yu Xuanji's cloak very considerately, and advised softly, "Come back to the imperial capital with me."
"I am a soldier." Yu Xuanji said lightly, then moved his feet and walked towards the outside of the tent.
"If it were in the past, if you wanted to do anything, I would support you." Nangong Yu glanced at the beautiful female general's slightly bulging belly, "But this time, just think of it for the sake of the child, and go back to rest for a while."
Yu Xuanji's delicate body froze and remained silent for a long time. After a while, he softly replied: "I'll think about it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she quickened her pace and soon disappeared outside the tent.
A hint of joy flashed in Nangong Yu's eyes, she took big steps and followed the female general.
"Which tribe is invading?" Yu Xuanji came to the front of the formation and asked one of the generals.
"It is a battle flag that I have never seen before." General Pi replied respectfully, "I don't know it."
Nowadays, Yu Xuanji no longer wears a mask, showing her beautiful and fair face in front of everyone without reservation. However, the respect for her by the officers and soldiers of Zhenbei Army has not diminished slightly.
Even because of her extraordinary beauty, she has cultivated many good-looking fans in the military.
If Nangong Yu hadn't been so clever, I'm afraid there would have been many competitors to compete with him for beauty in the Zhenbei Army.
"Among the Chi tribe, is there a tribe we have never fought against before?" Nangong Yu was already following. When he heard General Pi's words, he was startled and quickly looked at the enemy formation.
At this moment, black figures rose into the air from the Chi tribe's troops and hung above the army.
There are actually six spiritual masters in this Chi tribe!
"No, something is fishy!" Nangong Yu reacted very quickly. The moment he saw the opponent's spiritual master ascending into the air, his mind changed sharply. He pulled Yu Xuanji sharply and said, "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
And the six spiritual masters from the Chi tribe's army didn't even make a mark. As soon as they appeared, they walked through the air and came towards the Zhenbei army to kill the generals without hesitation...
…
War and killing seemed to have filled the entire world overnight. The borders of major empires were littered with corpses and rivers of blood, as if the end was coming...?
