Chapter 243 Golden Canopy
In the legends of the Northern Region and Yun and Ji Prefectures, there is a saying of mountain ghosts. In times of trouble, when mountain ghosts appear, there will be diseases and epidemics everywhere he goes, and his vitality will be cut off. Therefore, whether it is the Capitol or Yun, the soldiers and civilians of the Great Wei prefectures regard him as synonymous with death.
The ghost-head mask is made according to the legendary appearance of the ghost in Zhongshan. Only the Dragon King among the three evil forces in the Northern Region, namely the Khan of the Lu Tian, has the right to make this mask and give it to his own people, representing the awe of the strong people.
The ghost-headed mask is divided into one-horned demon, two-horned Rakshasa and triangular Shura, which is distinguished by the number of silver horns on the forehead of the silver mask. The one-horned demon must be a master of the power realm, while the two-horned Rakshasa is a strong artistic conception, and triangular Shura does not know it, but by analogy, it should be the unattainable Taoist realm, but the Taoist realm is just a misty Taoist realm. Wanyan Jing used to think that this was just a legendary figure.
Along the way, Wanyan Jing told everyone all the information about the ghost-headed mask, and there was no intention of avoiding Nangong Fu. However, Nangong Fu was stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't believe some things.
Because the battle between the Nangong family and the Northern Territory Barbarians lasted more than a dozen generations, although information about such masters wearing fanged ghost masks can be found in the family's files, there are very few, and no one has ever said so in detail with Wanyan Jing.
As Wanyan Jing continued, everyone understood the whole story. It turned out that Wanyan Jing had received special training under the Wolf King in the past. As long as she successfully broke through the power situation, she would become one of them. However, now her parents have been killed by the Wolf King, and she will be incompatible with the Wolf King in this life, so he has no burden to expose these secrets.
However, what surprised her was that Nangong Fu did not have much prejudice against her because of this, but patted her on the shoulder intimately, as if she had a closer relationship with her.
Seeing everyone having some questions, Nangong Fu immediately smiled and said, "Actually, I knew Wanyan Jing's origin since I saw her at first sight. My Nangong family has been fighting with the Wolf King for so many years. Her every move is too much like the hidden masters around the Wolf King."
"Then why do you still believe us so much?" Shang Zhengyu was a little confused.
"Simple, because once, when Zheng Pingyi, the Marquis of Jingping, met with my father, followed a young master. He came from Qingfeng Fuyue Pavilion like you, and very few people knew about this..."
Listening to Nangong Fu's words, Shang Zhengyu would also smile. His fifth brother Chu Linxu protected Zheng Pingyi in close proximity and would never publicize his origin. This is equivalent to a secret. So when Shang Zhengyu and others first said that they were from Qingfeng Fuyue Pavilion, Nangong Fu already regarded them as their own people.
"The swordsman beside Zheng Pingyi is named Chu Linxu, and he is my fifth brother." Shang Zhengyu said proudly to Nangong Fu, and patted him on the shoulder: "I will introduce you to you when I have the chance."
"Then the relationship is good."
Nangong Fu laughed loudly, slapped the horse's back with a short whip in his hand and said, "Let's go and treat my third brother first. Don't Brother Shang like to drink? My father has hidden a few jars of good wine in private. When my third brother recovers, even if he steals it, I will steal a jar for you!"
"Hahaha, then Shang can wait!"
Shang Zhengyu raised his eyebrows at Wanyan Jing, and showed a smile that made him feel at ease and said, "Wanyan Jing, you are wandering and helpless now. Ziqi once told me that he wanted you to enter my Qingfeng Fuyue Pavilion. This time, Mr. Shang said this. As long as you no longer do things that harm the interests of my Great Wei Dynasty, I will accept you on behalf of Qingfeng Fuyue Pavilion. How about it?"
Ziqi's eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked at Wanyan Jing with a burning look, and he wanted to agree to her.
"Wanyan Jing."
This was the first time Ziqi called his name with a soft tone.
Wanyan Jing glared at Ziqi, as if she was complaining that she was making decisions for herself at will. Then she seemed to think that she was too worthless when joining like this. She immediately put her waist on the horse's back and played with her little temperament. The ponytail behind her jumped up and down as the horse galloped, which was very cute: "What are the benefits of joining?"
"What benefits do you want?" Shang Zhengyu suddenly teased her and immediately laughed: "I just care about taking people. If there is any benefit, please ask Lao Qi for it yourself, hahaha."
After saying that, he slapped his short whip on his hand, and the war horse under his crotch suddenly shot out and distanced himself from Wanyan Jing and Ziqi.
Bad guy, you're a bad guy too!
Wanyan Jing glared at Ziqi fiercely, but she seemed to be immune to her way of venting anger. In the past, if she glared at Ziqi, she would still be a little nervous, but now she looked at someone who is fine. Wanyan Jing was so angry that she was about to fight with Ziqi, but Ziqi pulled the reins and went straight to the side.
"Let's go, we'll follow."
Zi Qi raised his eyes slightly, as if he was smiling. However, his tone of speech was still so turbulent. He whipped Wanyan Jing's back with a short whip, and then he grabbed his heels and immediately followed. The four of them ran all the way, leaving Yan Chen far behind.
=====I am the singular dividing line====
We headed north all the way. At first, everyone was relaxed, but when we got to the back, they couldn't laugh.
The villages passing along the way were empty, the houses were obviously broken, and some were burned and smoke was still emitting black smoke. In each village, several corpses with their heads cut off were lying on the village gate or on the village avenue. The blood was dry and covered with flies and maggots. As everyone passed by, the crows and vultures who were still eating the corpse rose into the air and circled above their heads. When Nangong Fu and the others walked away, they rushed down again.
This is their feast.
The few of them were just rushing to the road at this moment. Nangong Fu and his light cavalry were chewing their teeth, showing a ruthless face, and a faint murderous aura all over their bodies. The knuckles that were holding the steel gun in their hands were slightly white, obviously forcibly suppressing the anger in their hearts!
Shang Zhengyu, Ziqi and Wanyan Jing didn't speak, and felt uncomfortable as if a huge rock was pressed on his heart. Shang Zhengyu's face was not very good, and the traces of the captives along the way obviously would not be a good sign.
Shang Zhengyu rushed to Nangong Fu's side for two steps and said in a deep voice: "Brother Fu, how long will it take for Nangong Ye to arrive in the Nangong family's forward camp? I think something is wrong."
"Indeed, there are too many enemies behind."
Although no one encountered the troops of the captives along the way, the traces of burning, killing, looting reminded everyone of their existence at all times. Nangong Fu's radiant silver spear in his hand immediately pointed to a small earth slope ahead.
One of his subordinates immediately tried to slap the horse to the top, and then replied in a short while: "Sir, you can see the Nangong family's forward camp ahead, but... it's just that the camp was surrounded and the situation is not good!"
"What!"
Shang Zhengyu, Nangong Fu and others were both shocked and immediately slapped up the small earth slope, with Ziqi and Wanyan Jing following closely behind.
As I saw, there were flags waving in the distance, and it seemed that there were about 20,000 people! According to Nangong Fu, the Luo Su Army in this vanguard camp would not exceed 10,000 people at most. Such a huge gap in military strength, coupled with the fact that this place is a plain, it is the most suitable battlefield for the enemy cavalry. Not to mention that there are only 10,000 people, even the Nangong family has 20,000 elite soldiers, so it cannot compete with these enemy tigers and wolves!
The captive army surrounded the Nangong family's pioneer camp on three sides, leaving only a narrow exit southwest. The neighing sound of war horses came into the ears of everyone, rising and falling one after another, endless, like rolling thunder, shaking people's hearts!
Behind the army, a golden canopy carriage stood in the center of the enemy battle formation. Sixteen flags swayed in front and behind the carriage. A big word was written in Qi language, which was translated into Chinese, which was - Wolf!
It turned out to be the Wolf King's personal army!
"Didn't the Wolf King go to attack Langfu? How could he be here!" Nangong Fu was shocked. The other soldiers of the Nangong family were not much better. They were stunned and could not believe it. Even the war horses under their feet seemed to sense the owner's uneasiness at this moment and stopped breathing heavily.
Shang Zhengyu's heart also sank. On the way, Nangong Fu also told Shang Zhengyuming about the movements of the Wolf King and the Tiger King army at this moment. Logically speaking, they successively captured three defensive cities, Canglu, Dingyuan and Dingwei, and even if the captives were good at fighting, they should be forced to make some adjustments.
