Asai took out a golden needle from his arms and pricked several needles on the top of the Lu family's scribe's door, behind his ears, on the back of his head and on his lower lip. A trace of bright blood appeared on the sallow face of the handsome scribe. He opened the corner of his mouth and spit out a mouthful of gulu. With black and purple blood clots, he opened his eyes and said: "Ah, the war is over. It's a shame that Xiaosheng's useless body has only been able to become the crude yellow sand flowing spring of the Lu family. If there are masters from Qingyuan or Hongyuan present, That’s it. I don’t know what is the current situation in Pingyin City, why there is no news. Weiping Jiedu sent six brothers from the Xiaosheng clan to supervise Liangfeng Cavalry with 11,500 people, Xingyue, to rush to reinforcements, and also got Kinki infantry, bows and arrows. There were nearly ten thousand soldiers, but they didn't expect that they would collapse at the first touch and end up like this... These monsters in white robes actually used such forbidden methods that are not allowed by nature. They would definitely be smashed into powder by five thunders from the sky... Hey, this brother Nian looks very lucky. I look familiar, can you give me some advice..."
"Shut up, shut up, you still have a stick of incense to live, don't waste it, brother," Dongfangren pinched his mouth and scolded, "We are the Long family, tell me what is the current war situation in the Liang and Sui countries, the Long family Has the mansion been attacked?"
Hearing this, the Lu family scribe immediately struggled to sit up and bowed respectfully with his hands clasped in his fists: "It turns out that he is a clan brother of the Long family. The young man is Lu Guanlan, a descendant of the Lu family's Huangyuan clan. He is now the military governor of Weiping and the chief minister of Zhenguo." General Lu Shichao serves as a staff member. He is physically inconvenient and speaks and behaves lightly. Please forgive me, brother from a distinguished family..."
Yona and Xiaolong looked at each other, and both shook their heads with a wry smile. Lu Guanlan straightened the high crown on his head and the messy hair on his temples, and moved his body as if he wanted to stand up. Asai quickly pressed his shoulder: "Don't I'm moving, please answer the question quickly,"
"Xiaosheng understands," Lu Guanlan nodded, sat cross-legged in full attire, and said loudly: "Three days ago, the Dongping Pass of the Liang Sui Kingdom was attacked by the Jinge cavalry of the Later Qin Dynasty. Dongping Jiedushi and Pingdong General Lu Shibo He refused to escape alone and was martyred on the battlefield of Dongping. The five garrison generals of the Liang and Sui Dynasties immediately mobilized their troops to prepare for reinforcements. However, Pingyin City lost contact at this time, the city gates were closed, and no news came out. Eight thousand imperial guards With the life and death of the royal family surnamed Lu unknown, Peiping Jiedushi and Pingbei General Lu Shitao led the army eastward to regain Dongping Pass. Nanping Jiedushi and Pingnan General Lu Shilang sent troops to blockade the southeastern border to stabilize the situation. Xipingjie The military envoy, Pingxi General Lu Shilian, marched towards Pingyin City, but the one closest to the capital was of course the Weiping Jiedushi who guarded Kinki, the Zhenguo General Lu Shichao. He ordered the brothers of the Xiaosheng clan to He led his army to rescue, regain the lost territory, and defend the king. Who would have thought that facing a mere two thousand enemy troops, he would be thrown away in front of the sorcery, and the entire army would be wiped out. He would not be able to face his ancestors with a smile even if he was a young man. ah……"
The series of titles of generals gave Jonah a headache. Seeing the color on the scribe's face fading away, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "Mr. Lu, please answer the question quickly."
Lu Guanlan said sternly: "What this gentleman said is absolutely true. Xiaosheng knows that his chance of survival is at an end, so he should avoid the easy things and focus on the important things. What he said is meaningful. When the army set out three days ago, there was news from the Long family mansion that Wei Ping The steam puppet communication room of the palace received a text message. After the message, the Qin State led its troops to rebel. The Long family has always adhered to the wise way of protecting themselves, but during this national crisis, they should work hard to resist foreign enemies. The army that controls the Crane Mansion and captures the Dragon will be exhausted. Elite troops were sent out to relieve the siege of Pingyin City. However, in the past few days, Liangfeng Cavalry had many contacts with Prince Weiping's Mansion, but no more messages were received from the Long Family. As soon as we arrived near Pingyin City, we encountered the Jin Dynasty of the Later Qin Dynasty. The Ge cavalry and those white-robed monsters had a long confrontation, but with no success, they finally started fighting... Whether these white-robed men were Anglican priests, Xiaosheng had long warned the Wang family brothers that these demonic foreigners had evil intentions and were not of our race. It will be different. If you keep them in the city, they will bring about great disaster one day. Ooh, compassion brings disaster, and the sky will destroy me Liang Sui..."
"You're saying that the old men of the Long family opened the city gates and sent out troops to fight. This is really strange. With the cliffs and high walls of the Long family's mansion, as long as you huddle inside, even tens of thousands of people from the Qin State will not be able to attack or penetrate it. ," Asai snorted from his nostrils.
Lu Guanlan suddenly stood up with all his strength, his face as red as a peach blossom. He clasped his fists and lowered his head, and bowed deeply to the three people, "I, the Lu family of the Liang and Sui Dynasties, governed the world with benevolence and righteousness. Zi Buyu has strange power and chaos. Without this kind of witchcraft and evil method, our brothers, uncles, nephews, and close friends are still dead and turned into monsters. How can our swords cut down on our loved ones? But Xiaosheng already has a way to deal with it. What a shame. The news of the French general... I asked the three clan brothers to find an opportunity to pass this news to Weiping Jiedushi Lord Lu Shichao. I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will never forget the three great kindnesses to me, Liang Sui. De,... To the north of the Liang and Sui Kingdoms is the Late Han Kingdom. The capital of the Late Han Kingdom is Dawei, inhabited by the Zhu Xie family of the Seventeenth Family in the East. The Zhu Xie family and my Lu family have had a good marriage relationship through the ages. If the Zhenguo is great The general came forward to plead, and the Zhu Xie clan will rush to help. The Zhu Xie clan has a branch called "Big Moon Zhu Xie" that few people know. This branch's secret method of "eating spirits" can kill vegetation, rocks, monsters, and dead people. The spirit body has miraculous effects and is the nemesis of the Anglican Guild's magic. In all the battles, our Liang Sui army was completely wiped out, and no one spread the enemy's magic. Now I can only entrust the three Long family brothers to protect Liang Sui's army. The national body, the hope to regain the broken mountains and rivers lies in the three clan brothers, please, please..."
"What are you doing? Sit back quickly. We know it. We will definitely invite Zhu Xie over," the Oriental said with a frown, "How long have you been doing this kind of formality?"
Lu Guanlan said with an awe-inspiring expression: "The four dimensions of propriety, justice, integrity and shame are the four dimensions of a country. If the four dimensions are not maintained, the country will perish. This is the foundation of our Lu family, and the foundation of our country in the Liang and Sui Dynasties. Although our Lu family governs the country with literati, it cannot compare with the Long family's tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years." They have profound strength, but they also have the ability to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses in front of them. The three of you are destined to meet here in the next life." As he spoke, the scribe waved his robe and sat on the ground, meditating with his hands, and closed his eyes. , without Asai's diagnosis, Jonah could see that the last trace of life had left the body of this Lu family member. He fell into reincarnation with a solemn posture and a noble appearance. Lu Guanlan's robe was spotless and his expression was peaceful. , if he hadn't gone around behind him, who would have known that the wounds on his back would have turned his internal organs into pieces.
"...It's so annoying," said the Oriental, "I hate this pretentious guy the most. He always looks righteous in everything he does, and he is clearly asking for help from others, as if we owe him something." As he spoke, he picked up a halberd with his toes, dug a deep hole in the ground several times, and said with a smile: "Bury him, don't forget to take a token, so that no one will talk to you when the time comes. letter,"
"Understood, Lord Long Chang," Long Shenlin nodded, took off the semicircular jade from Lu Guanlan's waist and handed it to Jonah, and then carefully buried the scribe's body.
There were corpses all over the mountains and plains, but only this one could be buried. This scene made Jonah feel deeply powerless. He held the jade in his hand. The semicircular topaz was hollowed out with patterns of clouds and snakes, "This is Call me Kuo Yu Huang. The Lu family wears jade as soon as they come of age. For them, this jade symbolizes a stupid ideology called 'gentleman'," Asai said lightly, turning around, "Let's go. , go to Long’s house and have a look, maybe we are too late,”
The three people walked through the devastated battlefield. The remaining Jinge cavalry did not know where they had gone. The vast land was filled with smoke. Several villages and towns along the way had been completely burned. The charred corpses were in pieces. It could be seen that they were massacred by the cavalry and collapsed. The Babel Tower "Tianxuan" stood far away, and no one came close after walking for a long time. The dusk gradually fell and the sky became dark. The Easterners stopped and whistled, and two men in gray clothes appeared in front of them. Beside them, the faces of the two people could not be seen clearly in the night, only whispers could be heard.
"The mission is over," Asai's voice suddenly increased, seeming a little surprised.
The two members of the Assassin Organization continued to whisper something. Dongfangren's expression turned gloomy and clear, and he kept nodding, and then waved his hands: "I understand, you go, leave Liang Sui and don't come back again, the Long family's revenge It would be very scary, even with a broken body..."
The two of them saluted respectfully and disappeared into the night. Asai turned to Jonah and Xiaolong and said, "Let's set up camp. We'll go to Long's house tomorrow morning. It's too late anyway,"
"Yes, Lord Long Chang," Long Shenlin heard the words and picked up his sword, put down his baggage and started to prepare the campfire. Yona said anxiously: "What do you mean it's too late? You should rush over there overnight. At this juncture, the time is right The most important thing is,"
The Oriental shook his head: "The Long Family's mansion has been destroyed, and most of the dragon-capturing army has lost. The strong man in the Elder's House who was proficient in eight of the nine Long Family's arts was assassinated by an assassin just after he showed up. Now the entire Long Family's mansion has been cursed by Yagu. Covered by the earth, the Zong family mansion was occupied by the resurrected people. The remaining Long family members were shielded by dragon spines and huddled in the branch mansion. The war situation reached a stalemate for a while... In addition, there is still no news about Long Ji."
The astrologer was stunned for a moment, "Even the Long family has fallen. Is the Long family, the head of the seventeen Eastern families with a thousand-year history and countless magical bloodline abilities, so vulnerable?"
Asai suddenly burst out laughing: "In a thousand years, even the best things will decay. Brother Jonah, that old and dilapidated house has decayed into a piece of rotten wood. It looks like a piece of wood from a distance. Actually, if you poke it with your hand, it will break into powder. The irony is that those high-ranking masters of the clan actually ended up hiding in the short, dark alleys of their branch houses and living an ignoble existence, fighting for food with cockroaches and mice. The tiles stained with feces and urine are used to block the rain. There must be a happy atmosphere in the Long family at this time, hahahaha..."
Looking at the Eastern man's expression, Jonah thought he saw self-mockery, sadness, heartache and unyieldingness, but he said nothing, "Yes," the astrologer said, "Yes..."
