Torrent Volume Chapter Twelve: Soldiers Approaching the City
Xu Sheng spent five long days in boredom. After Xiao Jiang left, there was no one to talk to him; the soldiers who followed him were all unsmiling and extremely rigid.
Of course, Xu Sheng had no objections to these soldiers, and it was his duty to do so. The more solemn and profound these soldiers were, the more it showed that his brother was running the army well and that Fanchuan's army was strictly disciplined.
"Although Xiao Jiang said that this trip is only four hundred miles away, he still has to cross many mountains. Moreover, riding a donkey is not very fast. If you hurry up and go slowly, it will take you two months to go back and forth." Xu Sheng scratched his head and whispered secretly.
Two months was not a long time, but it was not a short time either. He was thinking about the "Meteorite from Beyond the Sky" and the "Nirvana Sutra". How could he survive the two months of suffering?
"Alas, I don't know when my brother will come back?" Xu Sheng sighed. He had thought about it. If Xu Mang returned soon, he would say goodbye immediately and entrust Xiao Jiang and his sister with him. However, according to the soldiers
According to Xu Mang’s trip, it seems that there will be some hardships!
"Hey——there are so many things to worry about!"
Xu Sheng sighed, and then shook his head. He was afraid that the "meteorite from the sky" and the "Nirvana Sutra" would be missing, he was worried that Xiao Jiang's trip would not go well, and he was also worried about his brother's safety. With all these combined, he felt haggard and exhausted.
Gods cannot gather.
What Xu Sheng, who was now mentally and physically exhausted, could not possibly know was that at this moment, there was a person who was only a few hundred feet away from him, who was also feeling uneasy.
Outside Zhiyang City, on the high ground, the handsome and enchanting young man from the Liaozhou mass grave stood upright. His eyes were full of coldness, and there was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Do you think you'll be safe if you hide in the city?" He said to himself in a mocking tone.
In fact, he was wrong. Xu Sheng did not hide from him. He didn't even know that he was running thousands of miles and even pursued him across mountains and rivers!
"I seem to have been to this place before." Looking at Zhiyang City, the enchanting young man's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, he paused for two breaths, and then continued to mutter to himself: "Although this city is not small, it is now war-torn.
In that year and month, it is estimated that there were at most 200,000 residents; as for the sergeants, the number would not exceed 30,000."
"Thirty thousand is too little." The demonic young man suddenly licked his lips when he said this, his voice suddenly became hoarse, and he said coldly, "Since I have decided to go on a killing spree and show off in front of the world, then where is thirty thousand?"
What can people be satisfied with? This time, I want to massacre the city and completely turn this place into my favorite tomb."
In his eyes, the so-called human life and the so-called common people are nothing like grass and grass. Over the years, he has been hiding in a lonely place in Liaozhou, secretly harvesting lives and sucking up the vitality of all souls; his actions have long been beyond human control.
Category, alienated into a devil-like existence.
"Now..." He stared at Zhiyang closely, with a cold look in his eyes, and said coldly: "I am going to kill everyone!"
Visible to the naked eye, he slowly raised one arm, and when his eyes were focused, a red light suddenly appeared around his body.
"Huh—— Huh?!" Then, he suddenly stopped, took a long breath, slowly lowered his raised hand, and gradually reduced the blood all over his body, and his expression changed drastically!
"How could it be?" There was deep confusion in his eyes. He thought for a long time and said to himself: "Why did I suddenly feel suffocated at that moment, as if I was being targeted by something?"
He spread his consciousness to explore and kept looking around; however, the surroundings were the same, with only some ruthless grass and trees, and nothing unusual. However, he did not dare to take it lightly; at his level, he was already vaguely connected to the heaven and earth, and would never be inexplicable.
, giving rise to a strange feeling without any basis.
"Who is spying on me secretly? And can anyone really hurt me in this world?" He asked himself, and after a moment of serious gaze, he shook his head and said rather arrogantly: "I and Wei Xiang and Wei Xian were the same back then.
The comparison is all about strength and not weakness; the ancestors of the eight major families are old and frail as long as they are alive, so they are naturally a bit weaker than me; only the Divine Master of China and the so-called 'Dazhu Kingdom' can faintly suppress me.
One end. However, the Heavenly Master cannot leave China, and the 'Dazhu Kingdom' must always keep an eye on the Heavenly Master. Apart from these two people, outside Tianjing City, who am I afraid of in this world? I am not afraid of anyone!"
Although he said this, he had no idea of attacking again.
He is waiting.
Waiting for the arrival of some "beings" that can strengthen his power.
"Slaughtering a city of soldiers and civilians like this is enjoyable, but it is a waste of the essence of flesh and blood. When all my 'children' arrive and devour them together, there is no need to worry about the loss of the 'essence'." He used an extremely sinister tone.
He said in a tone of voice, the greed and bloodthirsty in his eyes clearly visible.
...
At this time, on the land of Kanto, hundreds of black shadows were running like crazy, running toward the same place at extremely fast speeds. If anyone could connect the directions of their movements, they would be surprised to find that all the routes ultimately lead to
They all converge to the same point.
And that point, impartial, is Zhiyang!
Those who gathered towards Zhiyang were not only those hundreds of black figures, but also hundreds of thousands of densely armored soldiers!
The red soil of Guandong, with its sharp spring breeze, contains a chilling air amid the revival of vitality of all things. The black spots are densely packed but generally neatly gathered together, stretching forward as the undulating mountains zigzag forward.
To the unseen distance...
"Senior brother, when can we get to Zhiyang? I suffered a big loss in Guandong last time. This time I have to get it back no matter what." In the mighty and serious military formation, an inappropriate sound suddenly came out.
A woman's voice sounded; in the center of the military formation, an unimaginably large chariot was floating in the air, slowly moving forward.
In fact, if the spears, swords and halberds on the chariot were not too conspicuous, the chariot would feel more like a mobile palace. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mobile palace, because there is nothing on it.
The decoration inside the sergeant display is also extremely magnificent.
In that large and luxurious "carriage", there were only two people sitting peacefully.
One is a man, dressed in Taoist robes and robes, in his prime years, with a slim figure, a delicate face, eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in meditation; beside him is a girl, in her twenties and eighties, with a beautiful face and a beautiful dress.
Tsing Yi, with anger in his eyes.
The girl kept chattering non-stop, and when she got emotional, she danced, beat her breasts and stamped her feet; but the man remained silent and seemed to turn a deaf ear.
"Senior brother, are you confused by your martial arts practice? Let me tell you something. Your cultivation level is far above mine. You must help me during this trip to Guandong. That bad old man who took my 'hostage treasure', I
I must beat him until his teeth are all over the floor." When the girl saw that the man was ignoring her, she immediately started acting coquettishly, grabbed the man's arm, and shook him up and down.
"Okay, okay, this trip to Guandong is extremely dangerous and dangerous, and it is definitely not as trivial as you think. As for the old man who took your "hostage", according to your description, it is most likely Qin Lie, the contemporary patriarch of the Qin family.
.In terms of cultivation, I am not much better than him; besides, according to some reports, the Qin family has suffered a big change, and it is not yet known whether Qin Lie is dead or alive." The man may have been annoyed by the girl's entanglement, so he threw her away.
Arms, eyes still closed, said impatiently.
"If he dies, consider him lucky; otherwise, if he falls into the hands of my aunt, I will make him unable to survive or die." The girl gritted her teeth and said bitterly.
"Ding!" There was only a crisp sound, and the girl said "Oops".
"Senior brother, why did you hit me?"
"A noble disciple of the Celestial Master, who spends his days idle, behaving arrogantly, and speaking obscenely. Not to mention not worthy of my status as the 'Celestial Master', he is far inferior to an ordinary girl from a small family." The man remained silent as before.
His eyes and expression changed from gentle to serious, and his brows were frowned.
"Senior brother, you not only beat me, you also scolded me, humiliated me, and hit me." The girl immediately put on a heartbroken expression, moved her body back a few feet, and said with a look of loss: "Senior brother, since you grew up,
, just meeting many women in this world, especially Ye Zhirou, a famous actress in Kyoto, makes you fascinated and unforgettable. Compared with them, my true temperament is inferior, and I was mistaken for being a troublemaker. Senior brother, you used to be
That’s not the case, no wonder they say men are ruthless, haha, it’s true.”
"You..." When the man heard the word "Ye Zhirou", he suddenly opened his eyes, with a sullen look on his face, and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, she and I are just friends between gentlemen, as indifferent as water." Although he said this
He said it in a normal way, but the blush spread from his neck to his ears.
"Haha" the girl responded with a sneer, without saying much, but with an "I understand" expression on her face.
"Don't look at me like that." The man was flustered by the girl. After scolding him, he quickly closed his eyes again.
"Just hide if you can't say it, my good senior brother, you have always been like this." The girl continued to mock, with disdain on her face.
The man didn't say anything, and simply turned around, closed his eyes, and turned his back to the girl.
After a long time, the girl was already yawning out of boredom. At this time, the man spoke first: "The boy you held hostage last time is called 'Xu Sheng', right?"
"Ah, yes, that boy named Xu Sheng must have a lot of secrets. There must be a heavy treasure hidden in the coffin behind him." When the girl heard the word "Xu Sheng", her drowsiness disappeared immediately and her eyes brightened.
"Xu Sheng..." the man muttered softly, and after a long time he said leisurely: "If it is as you said, then Xu Sheng may be more important than Qin Lie. I don't know what happened to this trip to Guandong.
Can we meet him?"
"It must be possible, he is my hostage." The girl grinned, and a "silly boy" face suddenly appeared in her mind.
The chariot continued to fly in the air, while the neatly arranged soldiers continued to move towards the "place of destiny". Together, they were getting closer and closer to the goal...
In the evening, the sentry who was taking a nap inadvertently glanced into the distance; then, he suddenly woke up, rubbed his eyes, and saw an incredible scene!
Dense black spots covered the mountains and stretched into the invisible distance.
"Enemy attack!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs and lit the beacon in a hurry!
