Lincheng Huamo Chapter 15: Sharing Vengeance with Your Son
The next day, Zhong Xihou came out of the pool, dried himself, lifted the white robe from the screen, and put it on. The robe was not too wide, or it fit just right. He buttoned it up one by one, and started wearing it.
He picked up the sword from the pool and walked out of the bathroom.
"Master Hou, is this too risky?" Qu Tianao was wearing a black martial robe, his sword was on his waist, and in his hand was a set of golden light armor.
Zhong Xihou took the light armor from the general and put it on slowly. Armor was really not very comfortable to wear. In the past, he always wore armor to defend himself against barbarian invasions from abroad. The West is different from other military cities.
, the generals are strategizing in the camp to win the battle thousands of miles away. It sounds powerful, but in the eyes of the warriors, they are still greedy for life and afraid of death. The army in the city that never sleeps, always at the forefront of charging into battle, is actually their city lord and the invulnerable general.
The golden armor is worn on the body, and the joints are well protected. If you kick or punch at this time, it will be more powerful than when you are naked.
"Tian'ao, this armor is different from the one I wore last time."
"When was the last time Mr. Hou?"
Zhong Xihou smiled. He had forgotten that the last time he wore this armor was when he was thirty years old. He had been too comfortable in the past few years, and maybe he had gained a little weight.
"Tian'ao, tell me which one of your little sisters, Beiyan Army, can be trained better?"
"Tianqin enters Beiyan? It's better to say goodbye."
Marquis Zhongxi was very interested. He looked at the general who was both his minister and friend, and asked, "Let me explain the reason."
"With all due respect to Tian'ao, even if my Evernight City is far away from the empire and located in a fortress, it is still just a city of the empire."
Zhong Xihou couldn't help but put his hand on the sword again, and kept rubbing the sword with the thumb of his left hand that looked like a dragon but not a dragon. Qu Tianao understood very well that the Marquis would only do this when he was troubled.
Qu Tianao continued: "I have many brave men and women in the West, and naturally there are also many women. I have few in the city that never sleeps..."
Seeing Qu Tianao's silence and pause, Zhong Xihou frowned angrily: "You stupid guy, when did you start pretending to be this way in front of me?"
Qu Tianao nodded in agreement, and continued: "Why don't you let Tian Qin go to Lincheng with the Marquis, see the world outside, and understand the ways of the world? In the future, I will be blessed by having many capable strategists in the West!"
Zhong Xihou laughed loudly and clapped his hands, which was exactly what he wanted, but suddenly his face became gloomy and he asked: "Silly man, what did Zha Lao say to you?"
Qu Tianao was dumbfounded. He waved his hands quickly and forced a smile: "Yeah, yeah, by the way, Mr. Hou, no matter what, Tianao will still be the most powerful knife for Mr. Hou."
Zhong Xihou laughed again, looking impatient. The flattery of a stupid man was too monotonous and was really meaningless. He sighed and said helplessly: "In these years, King Gui has been staying in Fangyuan Tianxia Tower all year round for the lonely city that never sleeps.
Making suggestions for the city that never sleeps is also a pain for her."
What Zhong Xihou said is true. The most tiring thing in the world is spending twelve hours a day besides sleeping and using your brain. That is much more miserable than spending the same time doing hard work. King Gui is good at conspiracy and has found a man.
Mr. Yangmou relieved her of her burden, which has been Zhong Xihou's wish for many years.
Without thinking any more, Zhong Xihou asked again: "Tian'ao, how old is your sister?"
"The Marquis just asked a few days ago that Tian Qin is already seventeen."
Zhong Xihou knocked on his head. He had indeed asked him a few days ago.
"Tian Ao, you are in your early twenties, and you are already very good at practicing kung fu. Now you cannot withstand my Feng Hu Wu Yu. After I return for a year, if you can withstand the nine-point Feng Hu Wu Yu, you can do it.
arrive?"
"Ah? Isn't this..." Looking at Zhong Xihou's face that was darker than his own, he could only nod his head and said helplessly, "Why don't you just pull out a tooth from the tiger's mouth? What are you afraid of!"
"What Mo Chang can do, is it possible that you, the commander-in-chief, can't do it? If she can live like an ordinary girl, with exquisite makeup and beautiful makeup, she will find a good man to marry one day, and she will have a husband and children, and she will be ordinary.
Even if it’s light, it’s considered warm and happy.”
"I'm really afraid that she will go out of Xicheng and kidnap a brother-in-law from out of town for me. I'm even more afraid that the person she kidnaps will be a weak scholar. I really can't beat him. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to scold him."
Zhong Xihou was stunned and burst out laughing. Qu Tianao's words reminded Zhong Xihou that during this trip, why not find a good man to come back? If he is the husband Tian Qin likes, he will be kidnapped.
In the city that never sleeps, the Qu family will indeed become the most lively residence in the city that never sleeps.
Zhong Xihou was still thinking happily when he saw Qu Tianao, who was all covered in tendons and meat, was furious, while the frail brother-in-law pointed at the commander of the West with a bamboo slip in his hand and said sternly: "A gentleman talks but doesn't use his hands, and his hands are a petty thing."
Yellow dog!”
Stories are always interesting, and big people always have interesting stories.
When Zhong Xihou first took charge of the city that never sleeps, he felt a little lonely in the drizzle at night. The young Zhong Xihou stood in the rain, and the Wuyu sword he cherished as his life was thrown to the ground. He was holding a scimitar in his hand. Rainwater
Washing the blood on the sword, the blood on the ground, the blood on him.
The road to power will never be smooth, and the road to survival will always be a thorny land.
The girl was huddled in the corner, crying. She raised her head and saw that the young man was also crying. The rain hit his face and melted away the tears, but she could still see that he was crying. The young man picked up the
The sword was on the ground. He wiped the blood off with his sleeve and put it in its sheath. He walked through the corpses on the ground to the girl and stretched out his hand.
That year, Zhong Xihou was twenty-one years old!
"Idiot, you can trust me. The empire is about to be doomed, the princes of the world are watching with eager eyes, and catastrophe is imminent.
Close." Zhong Xihou smiled at Qu Tianao again. Such a smile was something Qu Tianao had never seen before. This kind of Zhong Xihou was so gentle. "I no longer dare to say to my Nightless City Black Armor Army, I will let you
Come back alive and reunite with your family safely."
As they walked, the two of them also walked from their residence to the city wall. In front of them was the commander's platform at the top of the city wall. Looking down the city wall, the city was filled with darkness. It was so dark, so thick and black that it was terrifying. The white clothes
Daojun was already sitting on the rattan Taishi chair next to the ordering platform. In his hand was a unique jade fan. There was a smile on his face, and a kind of indifference.
Shu Nan told Zhong Xihou that he did not like killing, and that guilty people would be punished by man and heaven, and that everything in the world would proceed according to records.
He also said that if Marquis Zhongxi no longer needs Wuyu Sword, he can lend him the jade fan for fifty years.
Qu Tianao followed closely behind him, changed into a military uniform, and still had the big sword on his waist, majestic and mighty like a diamond.
Zhong Xihou slowly walked towards the general stand. Shu Nan also stood up and walked slowly to his side. He asked Shu Nan: "Can you help me?"
"Naturally Xiaodao will help the city lord, but God has his way, so I forgive Xiaodao for not being able to help the world."
"If I read the record of the catastrophe in the West in the Book of Heaven, it means that I can't lead my black-armored army to break through this shackles, right?"
"Master Hou, you have already seen it."
Zhong Xihou turned his head. He had already read the records in the heavenly book. He really didn't have any memory. What was the ending? Is it victory or defeat? He didn't know.
"It seems your rules are true."
"I know everything in the Book of Heaven, including what you want to know."
"But you can't say."
Shu Nan nodded, stood up, put away his fan, and looked down the city.
An army of 3,600 people is not much, but how many tigers and wolves are there in the Nightless City? Eighty thousand? This number has never been truly announced, but everyone knows that the Black Armored Army is terrifying. This army is
A black arrow that leaves the string is indestructible.
"I once traveled all over the world, and even the Liang family's army, known as the White Crow, was not as heroic as this black-armored one." The book could not have missed a sentence. The white crow is good at attacking, while the black armor is good at defending. He only made a general comparison of the overall strength of the two armies.
.
Zhong Xihou stood on the steps, his left hand resting on his sword.
"The men in the city that never sleeps are the black armor that protects our western land. They make our city that never sleeps prosperous and become impregnable and difficult to attack."
Except for Zhong Xihou's words, Shu Nan's ears were very quiet, and the only sound was the sound of wind, birdsong and his own breathing.
Hearing the high-pitched sound coming from the city wall, the 3,600 black armors who were about to cross the yellow sand to the southwest to attack A (e) Sai were filled with joy and laughter.
Aren't they afraid of death?
Aren’t you afraid that if you leave the city that never sleeps this time, you really have left?
Shu Nan did not look at the black-armored soldiers, nor did he look at Zhong Xihou who seemed to be preparing a generous speech on the general stage. He was quite interested in Qu Tianao who was on the left rear side of Zhong Xihou.
The three armies look at one person, and that person is the general.
"When I was young, I was incapable of taking power, so the black-armored army still obeyed my orders. In the past, before going out on an expedition, I would say how many people would go and how many people would come back. My father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my wife would see each other off with a smile, and we would celebrate together after a great victory. This time
, and so it should be!”
Who is Zhong Xihou talking to? Himself? This Taoist Lord in white? Qu Tianao, who has been a friend for many years? Or is it the army of Beiyan who marches like black ants?
"I, Erlang Xidi, will surely be alone when I return this time and bring back the good news of victory. In the city that never sleeps, there will be a night of carnival in those three days!"
The black-armored soldiers who were about to go on an expedition shouted in unison, "The city that never sleeps, the city that never sleeps, the city that never sleeps"!
The cheers became louder and louder. Qu Tianao took a few steps to the left front of Zhong Xihou, raised his hand and clenched it into a fist. The black armored people under the city wall were silent for a moment. Hearing him say: "Xidi Erlang, is the lord of the city.
Bring back news of victory!"
As soon as the words fell, I heard another loud "eh"!
Then, just hearing the sound of horse hooves and the sound of armor, a group of soldiers headed further west.
Shu Nan stood up from the wicker chair, walked to Zhong Xihou's side, bent his waist slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and without saying a word, Zhong Xihou nodded, wearing a golden armor and a crimson sword, leading the black bear-like Xicheng Da
The general walked towards the military forum on the east side of the general platform.
In the Yibingfang, there were a total of thirty-three generals, men, women, old and young. Except for the general of the Xuanbao Department, Mo Chang, and the deputy general, one of the staff generals was absent. There were five generals, eleven deputy generals, and seventeen staff generals left.
Although the colors of the armor they wear are different, the style is the same and each wears a cold blade.
The first to come in was the silly big commander Qu Tianao who opened the felt door. Thirty-three generals looked solemn and upright. Then they saw Marquis Zhong Xi who came in later wearing a golden armor and a red sword on his waist.
Stomping his feet, his movements were surprisingly neat, he put his right hand into a fist against his heart, bent slightly and lowered his head, and said in unison: "See the City Lord!"
Zhong Xihou raised his hand, and the thirty-three generals stopped their movements, but their posture remained the same, without losing their military demeanor.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to see the generals before leaving the city." Zhong Xihou glanced at the people present, clicked his tongue a few times, and said with a little pity, "Mo Chang, Hu Yan and Chu Chengcheng are not here. It's a pity."
The red-armored general, who was in his early thirties, cupped his fists and said: "Back to the city lord, General Mo Chang led Deputy General Hu Yan and General Chu to go to A (e) Sai Qing Dang."
"Oh, okay, there's nothing else to do. I just want to see you." After saying that, Zhong Xihou turned his head and was about to leave when he heard a "plop" followed by another sentence.
"Master Marquis, the four fire and Phoenix tribes swear allegiance to the death!" the red-armored general knelt down on one knee, and the five red-armored generals behind him also knelt down and hugged him.
They lowered their fists and said in unison, "The four fire and Phoenix tribes swear allegiance to the death! Allegiance to the death! Allegiance to the death..."
Cao Wudi, the Fire Phoenix Commander, preempted him. The leading light blue light armored general on the other side also hurriedly knelt down on one knee. The light blue light armored generals behind him also moved in unison. "The six Tianling tribes will follow Hou to the death.
Ye..."
"The two tiger dragons swear to follow the Marquis to the death..."
"The Qingluan Division swears to follow the Marquis to the death..."
"The five Xuanbao tribes swear to follow the Marquis to the death..."
"The Three Golden Phoenix Tribes swear to follow the Marquis to the death..."
"Swear to follow the Marquis to the death..."
The tranquility was instantly overshadowed by the thunder-like chorus. Zhong Xihou stood at the door, his face unchanged, without any change, he opened the felt door and went out.
Qu Tianao stared at the generals with his mouth open, and asked stupidly: "What are you guys looking at? How did you become a follower to death?"
The enthusiasm was too much, and it was suddenly cooled down. The thirty-three generals also became a bunch of stunned people. Yes, what are they all talking about?
Others don't know the reason, how could the generals of the Four Fire and Phoenix Tribes not know.
Why?
Although the thin monkey who was taught a lesson by Qu Tianao every day was a good boy in the West, he was still just a small corps commander. And among the six generals who supported the reputation of the West, one of them was also named Musichen!
Qu Tianao chased after him, walked a few steps quickly, and followed Zhong Xihou again.
"It's time for those four hundred people to take action."
"Okay." Qu Tianao was stunned for a moment and asked, "How come there are four hundred people? What does the Wind Spirit King say?"
Zhong Xihou stopped and smiled at Qu Tianao without saying a word. Qu Tianao frowned and touched his chin, wondering, what does it mean?
Four hundred people, four hundred people! They live in this city that never sleeps, or come and go around this world. But as long as Zhong Xihou gives an order, they will do anything for him.
These four hundred people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, Zhong Xihou, are just like the famous sword on his waist. His sword can kill people, but it can also save people. It is easy to use a sword to kill people, but it is easy to use a sword to save people.
It's like a mountain road with nine twists and turns.
"You may have said more." Shu Nan also walked to his side. At this point in the general stage, except for the commander in black armor, there were only one gold and one white.
Zhong Xihou watched the soldiers of the army marching away in a heroic manner. Every step of the horses' movements were surprisingly consistent. He actually laughed when he saw it. He heard Zhong Xihou say lightly: "It's difficult to write books. Did you know that before your adoptive father was alive?"
He gave me ten words and said those ten words were my life."
Shu Nan naturally knew that Zhong Xihou would not tell him what words Zhong Nanyan said. He calculated that the time was just right. He also looked to the west and saw a piece of black armor going west, which was quite spectacular. Suddenly there were several pairs of
Reluctant to leave home, the recruit looked back blankly and suddenly saw two little dots on the general stand. An eagle-eyed recruit excitedly shouted to his companions: "Look, look, it's the city lord. The city lord is still seeing us off."
Woolen cloth!"
There was an uproar, one passed to ten, ten passed to hundreds, there was a burst of horses, and all the black armors turned their heads. Then, they turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, put their right fist on the heart, and the movements were quite spectacular.
Like a black wave.
Suddenly I heard a majestic and loud voice: "Get up!"
Everyone got on their horses in unison, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and followed the army to the southwest.
Suddenly, a man sang loudly: "Hey, look at the sun in the east..."
Someone immediately sang: "Hey, the mountain has fallen..." "It's still bright outside our house..." "Swipe up the moon to kill the sand wolf..."
This was the first time Shu Nan heard this song, and he burst out laughing. Whoever composed this song was not catchy at all, and the modulation was a bit awkward.
Qu Tianao also watched the black-armored army heading west, and suddenly approached Shu Nan and asked in a low voice: "Sir, there is a Chinese saying, can you tell me about it?"
Shu Nan looked at Qu Tianao with a hint of joking. When did this general become interested in some Chinese poetry? He smiled and nodded, gesturing for him to ask.
"You don't have any clothes and you share the same hatred with me?"
Without waiting for the book to answer, Zhong Xihou laughed out loud.
Zhong Xihou looked at Qu Tianao, quite helpless. Then he looked at Qu Tianao's embarrassed face. He could only giggle and deal with it, and then said: "How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear, and
We share the same hatred."
Shu Nan also laughed, stood up straight, and said: "Since the city lord traveled eastward, if it is not God's will, how can it be reasonable? Then today, let the small road convey the will of God!"
As the words fell, Shu Nan waved the jade fan in his hand, and a white light shot straight into the sky.
Then colorful clouds fell from the sky, the light was so bright that it couldn't help attracting the people in the city, and the black armor traveling westward couldn't help but stop again.
The colorful clouds gradually gathered and took shape, turning into a mythical beast that looked like a white horse with antlers on its head, wearing light blue dragon scales, and stepping on icy blue fire clouds.
Somewhere in the city, a man who looked like a Han scribe couldn't help being stunned when he saw this beast, and said in surprise: "Bai, Bai, Bai Ze. Bai Ze tells God's will, and the holy beast knows what is right. It is actually the Bai Ze rumored in the book!"
"
Bai Ze roared, and then cooperated very well with Shu Nan, using a rough and wild voice to spread to all directions.
How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised an army, he repaired my sword and spear. I share the same hatred with you.
How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. The king raised an army and repaired my spear and halberd. I worked together with you.
How can I say that I have no clothes? I wear the same clothes with you. The king raised his army and repaired my armor. I went with you.
The Lord of the West held his sword and pointed at the general's platform. Suddenly, wind and clouds gathered in the sky, and the mythical beast Bai Ze descended to show God's will. The next day, the Lord of the West held his sword and traveled eastward to honor God's will.
