The hurricane blew up the diffuse sand, covering the blue sky.
A solitary peak stood in the storm. At the top of the solitary peak was the Heavenly Tower. Above the Heavenly Tower, goshawks were circling in the howling cold wind.
In this difficult and dangerous field that cannot be described in words, there is a team of elite Huns wearing wolf skins. The bronze skin of each of them exposed to the wolf skin has turned purple from the cold, and some places have been scratched with blood on the stone walls.
It solidified into a terrifying black-purple color in the condensing weather. They were wrapped with ropes made of special soft metal, and at the top of the rope was a strange-shaped iron tool, including a sickle, a hook, and a flying disc. They were
With such a guy, I broke the shackles of the cliff, dug into the rock cracks all the way, and quickly climbed up the rock without feeling tired at all during the long distance.
The storm came, as if it had turned into a giant hand of the devil, trying to brush off all the non-stubborn substances on the stone wall. They could not find shelter from the wind, and everyone was in a hurry to fix their climbing equipment. The slower ones unfortunately fell.
In the abyss, only the screams gradually fade away.
There is a narrow valley in Tianque. In the center of the valley stands a tall column. The whole column is carved with pictures of ancient monsters and densely hollowed-out Xiongnu characters. Two thick black black iron swords extend from the bottom of the column, like two wild beasts.
The venomous snakes "bite" on one person's arms respectively. The person was almost naked with a dark upper body in the suffocating cold air, and his thick black hair was braided into countless small braids hanging down his shoulders and back.
On the back, the parts not covered by the braid are the clavicle, the unusually bulging chest muscles, and a vivid wolf totem on the heart.
At this time, a young man walked in from the wind outlet of the canyon with a pile of dry firewood in his arms. Even in such a desolate place, he was still neatly dressed. Under his hood, there was an extraordinary and outstanding face. When he looked at
After looking at the people under the column who were concentrating with their eyes closed, he slowly piled the dry firewood on the ground and said, "Now that I think about it, the three years have expired, and I can finally be relieved of my duties as a jailer and guard, and you, finally, can
Don’t you have to endure this cold imprisonment any longer?”
The other party interrupted him without explanation, "Imprisonment? I just treat it as killing boring time." His tone was melodious from the plateau, but there was a strange calmness that was inconsistent with his image. There was a look of disdain in this man's eyes.
His arrogance made people feel shocked at first sight. On this day, as usual, he closed his eyes and read the words on the cylinder in his heart. When he heard the only guard reminding him that the three-year imprisonment period had expired,
, his face was expressionless, and he didn't feel the slightest expectation or joy in his heart.
The guard glanced at his unexpected expression. After being slightly confused, a faint smile appeared on his lips and said: "It seems that it is impossible to see the prince from three years ago again."
"You found the wrong time. If you want to see me three years ago, you should go three years ago." The person trapped in the iron chain is Qili, the current prince of the Huns. He opposed his father because he killed his brother three years ago.
He was dismissed from his post because of the king's governance program, and was trapped in this miserable place, suffering from an environment that is unbearable for ordinary people. His mind was tortured, his body was starved, and he was expected to think about his mistakes and reform himself in the cold wind and scorching heat. The King of the Huns could not
The meaning of killing him is obvious, that is, to eliminate the dandy and hostility in Qi Li so that he can be reused in the future.
"Your highness, the domineering prince, always gave people a strange sense of oppression in the past. Now that his muscles and bones have been removed, his impetuous delicacy has faded away, has he reached the state of colorlessness?"
"Yaoyan, what do you want to say?"
"The future mainstay of the Great Xiongnu, a generation of princes, has been completed." The young man named Yaoyan showed a smile of relief and admiration on his face. Under the order of the leader of the Xiongnu country, he accompanied the Xiongnu prince to stay in Tianque for three years.
The jailer guarded, took care of the prince's food, and also served as a mentor, cultivating talents and teaching political strategy. This move further highlighted the intentions of the Xiongnu leader.
Although Qi Li was weathered, his vague expression still revealed the nobility and calmness that could not be concealed. He said slowly: "If you say such things, people will mistakenly think that you are flattering me and telling me to get married soon."
Release your shackles and return to the Central Plains to reunite with your brothers and sisters."
"If that can really happen, I will be extremely grateful." Yao Yan lit the fire and prepared for the dark night. After blowing a few breaths into it, he continued: "How could I forget that I am not going to die?"
This thing is in your hands from beginning to end. Whether you throw it away or not is not your decision." There was a touch of bitterness in his voice, like self-deprecation and helplessness, but he finally smiled freely: "
If the prince feels that his life after being released from prison is no longer interesting, then there is one thing that will definitely make your chilled blood boil again."
Qi Li didn't speak. He kept his eyes closed from beginning to end, with no expression on his face.
"You have been isolated from the world for too long, so you don't know if the world is going to change again."
After hearing this, Qi Li's expression changed slightly, "In this world, the only thing that can make my blood boil again is the smoke in my heart that has never dissipated."
"Exactly what you think".
In an instant, Qi Li's eyes opened. A pair of black and bright eyes seemed to be burning with blazing flames. He looked at the exit of the wind valley with vigour. After a while, he laughed boldly. His eyes at this moment
He laughed not because freedom was so close, but because his conservative father finally recognized his political views, which was more satisfying than any good news.
Yao Yan was with Qi Li all day long, and one could hear two deeper meanings in his smile. One was that the resentment and hatred the prince had accumulated towards the King of the Huns disappeared with his laughter, and the other was that
The prince saw the vast territory outside the Valley of the Wind, and that territory would gradually become complete in his heart, so he laughed heartily and confidently. After a long time, Yao Yan reminded again: "The final trial of release from prison is coming soon, you must be careful and guard against it."
Well, it will be a fierce battle, and after the fierce battle, you will be recalled to the royal court."
Qi Li laughed twice, looked at Yao Yan, and then looked around at the column behind him and said: "I am familiar with the things you carved on it, plus your sincerity to me in the past, I know these in my heart, as a token of gratitude
I don’t need to follow the agreement about your reward, I can give you your freedom immediately.”
"If you can break the agreement and make such a promise, you must have something important to explain to me, right?"
"Yao Yan, you are a smart man. You should know that if a slave acts too smart in front of his master, the consequences will often make you regret it." This sentence is neither salty nor light. It does not sound emotional, but it still reveals a sense of emotion.
The coldness of his butt made Yao Yan feel the slightest chill.
"What the prince said is true, but the villain is rude."
"About this war, but Hu Yanqu is the commander-in-chief?"
"It's the general Hu Yanqu".
Qi Li lowered his eyebrows in thought and said softly: "It's true. Back then, my father appointed him as my mentor, but I couldn't stand the disgusting arrogance in his words, so I chose you, who is so low-brow and easy-going.
People from the Central Plains, it turns out that you are very easy to use and you have never let me down."
"As we all know, Commander Huyanqu is talented and strategist. He is a role model in the minds of the generals. He can be regarded as a loyal minister of the Xiongnu Kingdom. Even if such a person is your mentor, I still believe that with your qualifications, sooner or later
It’s about being better than the old.”
"You don't need to say this, time will prove everything."
After a gust of wind, the entire canyon became depressingly silent.
Yao Yan looked at the dim red sun in the sky, and suddenly felt that the red color contained a cold and murderous atmosphere, so he unconsciously held the firewood tightly in his hand and said: Prince, it seems that this fire is useless, we don't have to wait until
You can go down to the sky at night."
At this time, dozens of feather arrows suddenly flew towards them. Qi Li waved the black iron chain to block them all, and said solemnly: "You step back, I will fight quickly. I don't want anyone to get in the way."
When Yao Yan retreated, he just said softly: "Prince, please be sure to leave one alive."
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen Xiongnu elites jumped down from the top of the canyon at the same time. Without saying a word, they waved their weapons and reached out to Qi Li. Qi Li stirred up the chain and entangled the opponent's two hooks, and then used force.
As soon as he pulled it, the two people he pulled over were killed in an instant.
Seeing his astonishing strength, more than a dozen people only defended rather than attacked, and surrounded rather than killed Qi Li. Because Qi Li was restrained by Xuan Tie, his range of movement was limited, so naturally he could not hurt others. One person escaped from the gap and used
The ghost movement technique quickly moved to the back of Qi Li.
The blow was stabbed from Qi Li's back, but Qi Li turned sideways to avoid it, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Then he moved very quickly and coherently, raised his hand to grab the man's weapon-holding hand, and took advantage of the situation.
He threw it, raised it up, and smashed it into the ground, causing blood to splash all over Qi Li's body and face.
Seeing this, the living people did not dare to act rashly anymore, and looked at each other, wanting to advance but then stopping.
Qi Li puffed up his chest and shouted: "You trash, is this all you have, or should you be merciful? If you want to survive, you have only one choice, use everyone's strength to kill me. Everyone, come together, let me see
Let’s see what the so-called most elite warriors of the Huns are like.”
After the bold words were released, everyone formed a lineup, and more than a dozen ghostly figures floated quickly together. They connected with their feet and attacked like thunderbolts. The weapons and black iron chains exploded with sparks. After several fights, several people finally used the weapons in their hands.
The special rope restrained Qi Li's double chain lock. The remaining two people took the opportunity to attack Qi Li's chest and back, and they were about to succeed. Unexpectedly, Qi Li used his strong internal strength, flicked his wrist, and broke free from the hook.
Many metal fragments flew in all directions. One person's neck immediately started to bleed. His eyes were wide open and he fell to the ground dead.
As the blood sprayed, Qi Li had the upper hand, and his destructive power was extremely frightening. He killed his opponents one by one in a short time, leaving only one alive. Seeing this, this person wanted to fight to the death, but he could see Qi Li
When Li's eyes were soaked in blood, his movements couldn't help but stop. What he was facing was not a human being, but a bloodthirsty Shura from hell. The murderous aura on his face was enough to turn a person's resistance away.
Consciousness is drowned.
Yao Yan saw the corpses all over the ground and said anxiously: "Please be merciful!"
But Qi Li didn't intend to save the last person's life. He punched the person in the chest. The sound of bones breaking and blood spurting sounded at the same time. The fragments of internal organs and blood spurted into the air. The dead man shot out like a blood arrow.
After hitting the mountain wall several feet away, the remaining force exploded. The mountain wall collapsed like soft sand, burying his body inside.
Yao Yan was puzzled and asked: "Why did the prince slaughter them all? Why not leave a single person alive so that he could hand over the chain key?"
"Such a fragile life is not qualified to live in the world." Qi Li's wolf-like eyes, burning with scorching flames, are emitting scorching light. Coupled with the king's temperament that is highlighted to the extreme, he can take on any personality.
Anyone who wanted to get close to him was burned to ashes. He snorted coldly and stared at him as if he could see through everything. This made Yaoyan feel more depressed than any crisis. He said: "Yaoyan, do you think you can really hide it from me?"
?”
"..."
"Actually, I have always known that the key is hidden inside," Qi Li said as he dragged the long chain towards the column.
Yao Yan was horrified, and finally realized that after three years, what could lock him was not just two chains, but his heart that could hold the vast sea, the towering peaks, and be contained in one place at the same time.
, such a person is the most incredible. It makes people feel that there is nothing in this world that he can't do. After being surprised, Yao Yan said: "At least you have to ask the king if he has any explanation."
Qi Li jumped up to the top of the tall column, his burly body independent under the clouds, and smiled proudly, as if the whole world in the canyon was revolving around him: "I no longer have any doubts in my heart, why should I let them spread any nonsense?" Qi Li
After Li finished speaking, he roared, using his Hunyuan internal energy, he hit the column with his palm. Then, an unimaginable huge shock wave spread to the ground. Yaoyan was shocked and heard a bang. Just as the ground sunk,
The complete patterns and words on the cylinder fell apart, and in just a moment, an ancient sword hidden deep in the stone burst out with a dazzling red light, matching Qi Li's bloodthirsty temperament, and the blood-stained wolf at the heart.
Totems complement each other.
He drew out the ancient sword, swung it several times, and then without hesitation slashed at the black iron chain on his arm.
"Bang bang"
The burst of light was like demonic thunder and lightning, instantly cutting off Qi Li's three-year bondage.
Stepping on the blood and corpses, he strode out of purgatory with steady steps without even turning his head. Yao Yan watched his back gradually disappear into the wind. Although he couldn't see his expression, Yao Yan knew one thing very well.
.
A new generation of Xiongnu kings was born, and the era of Qi Li had already begun. Next, he would shock the entire Qin Empire.
