Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 158 Love Bell (1)

"A sage forgets love, the worst thing is love, but what love loves most is my generation."

——"Shi Shuo Xin Yu·Sorrow for the Dead"

"General Lian, what is the way to lead an army?"

"A soldier's mass lies in recruiting soldiers, his courage lies in his control, his ingenuity lies in his power, his benefit lies in his faith, his virtue lies in his way, his wealth lies in his eagerness to return, and his strength lies in the rest of the people. (Note)"

"Would there be a word for 'victory'?"

"Sorrow. There is no gap in the situation, and the mourning army will win."

The starry night was like yesterday, Baichengshuang looked up at the galaxy, and the memories of the past were like moonlight shining on her face.After the speech in the afternoon, the people gradually dispersed, and only the three guards remained in the royal tomb. This night, the whole army guarded Lian Hongye and countless soldiers who died in battle by the Wanmu River.

On the next morning, Baichengshuang called the remaining officers to discuss the next plan.

The first task is to implement the strategy of "strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness", and coordinate the residents of nearby towns to move to Hanye City as soon as possible.The officers took their orders and went to different villages and towns to deal with them.

There is also a military order for Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng, which is to go back to the palace first, report to the military department the detailed information before and after the Wanmuhe battle, and help organize specific documents for other generals to refer to.

As the witnesses of the entire battle and close contact with the enemy patriarch, only they can complete this task. This information may be useful for understanding the enemy's situation and designing a defense plan, and it can also allow Ye Ziqi to return to Anshi as soon as possible. In the environment, recuperate the injury.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng took orders to leave.Fortunately, on this morning, Ye Ziqi finally recovered enough to be able to walk, and immediately protested Gu Feng's idea of ​​driving him to the city with all his strength.Gu Feng had no choice but to sell the ram cart and move towards the city at his slow pace.

The two were chatting on the road, and they said that when they entered the city, they should find Liu Xiyan and invite him to a restaurant for dinner.After the performance yesterday, the gifted scholar suddenly said that he had found his younger brother, so he ran away without giving them a chance to express his gratitude.

The city is getting closer in sight, and the morning is getting older, and soon the hills in the northwest are covered with a layer of gold.Across the clumps of weeds, you can already see the brown elm gate with iron embedded.Although it was only a month away, after several life and death, it seems like a lifetime away, and this ordinary scenery is also nostalgic.

"General Shuang said that there will be someone to meet us at the entrance of the city. Do you have good eyesight to see if there are officers who look like officers guarding the entrance?" Ye Ziqi said.

Gu Feng raised his hand to block the light, squinted his eyes and shook his head: "No."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, there is no need for anyone to lead this way anyway."

"No," Gu Feng retorted: "Didn't General Shuang say that he arranged a place to rest and a doctor for you? You have to be led to find—"

"So, it doesn't matter what kind of thing—"

The two were arguing, when the wind suddenly picked up, the two raised their heads forward, and stood there dumbfounded.

On the towering city wall, a light blue shadow jumped down!

The two teenagers opened their mouths wide, thinking that the city wall is five feet high, no matter who you are, if you fall, you will surely die?

But the figure was floating in the air, his robes fluttering, but he fell very slowly, obviously he was performing lightness kung fu.Amidst the exclamations of the two, a figure landed in front of them, but it was steady. Looking carefully, it was a young woman with light makeup and well-proportioned eyebrows. But bright and agile.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng didn't expect this woman to fly directly in front of them, they were already speechless in shock, but the woman's eyes swept over their faces, and said with a smile: "It's you two! Let me guess, which son has such a big face, let Princess Shuang ask me for help in person?"

The two of them didn't know what to say for a while, but the woman stared at Gu Feng and said, "You look better, isn't it you?" Then, without waiting for them to reply, she grabbed Gu Feng's wrist: "Your body... Not sick. Oh, what a pity."

A string of question marks suddenly appeared on Gu Feng's head.The fist hardened.

The woman smiled generously, took a step back, and said respectfully: "Master Zhang's subordinate, Xue Ying, a female servant doctor, has met the two elders."

"Female doctor?" Gu Feng frowned and said, "Are you the one sent by General Shuang to meet us?"

"That's right, stretch out your hand." Xue Ying said to Ye Ziqi.

Ye Ziqi stretched out his hand according to his words, Xue Ying pressed his arm, felt for the pulse, and then his face changed suddenly: "Strange, strange, the princess told me that you were injured when you were fighting with a monster, but yours is clearly spiritual power. Spilling, hurting the heart!
Hmm... You must have fought hard.What you need in this situation is nourishing medicine. The wound medicine I brought is not suitable for the disease, so follow me to the palace to get the medicine.And... in the future, you probably need to change your way of life. "

Hearing this, Ye Ziqi's heart sank, and Gu Feng was the first to panic: "Hey! What do you mean by that?"

Xue Ying said seriously: "Ye Shichang has a lot of spiritual power in his body, but he can't see the true essence. The spiritual power can't be gathered, and it runs out of order. He probably cultivated the prototype of the inner alchemy, but it was shattered or taken away. No matter what In such a situation, it is a miracle that Ye Shichang can survive now, but it is difficult to make any progress in martial arts."

"You quack—"

"Gu Feng!" Ye Ziqi stopped the brother who was about to get angry, "Enough, I know my own situation. Doctor Xue, I understand, please lead the way."

"But--"

"enough!"

Ye Ziqi gritted his teeth and said, of course he knew a long time ago that he and the old demon head shared the same body, and vomiting out the old demon head's inner alchemy would naturally damage his own foundation.

But he won't just be so reconciled, the old monster, a big monster who has lived for hundreds of years, is still in his body, this is his hope, the monster must have a way that ordinary people can't.

Seeing this, Xue Ying nodded, "That's right. As expected of you, you've gone through a storm. You're still young, but you're very calm. Take this health-care pill first, at least it will make you walk more easily now."

As Xue Ying spoke, she took out a pill, Ye Zi thanked her, and then continued to set off towards the city.

"Wait a minute!"

Xue Ying spoke again.

"What's the matter?" Gu Feng asked.

"Princess Shuang said, you know the battle of Wanmu River best." Xue Ying stood there, looking straight at Ye Gu and the two of them, and there was a tremor in his tone: "I would like to ask you two, did you see me?" As for the two generals Xue Xin and Xue Yi, are they still alive?"

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng's expression became concentrated: "By the way, your surname is also Xue."

"The two generals are my uncles."

"During the retreat, the two generals Xue Xin and Xue Yi retreated to the rear of our palace, but they were nowhere to be found."

"Is it……"

Xue Yingning stood silently for a moment, she didn't look like she was about to cry, but Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng still stayed with her silently, without urging or talking to her.

"Well, thank you both, come with me."

The three of them walked through the Hanye city gate.The familiar Qingshiban Street, side-by-side eaves, and shop signboards all come into view.The inside of the city is warmer than the outside, but it's a pity that now the city is catching up with the "cold spring", morning and evening, the spring is cold.

Passers-by carrying large bags and small bags and driving carriages passed by them. They all heard General Shuang's speech yesterday, packed their luggage overnight, and responded to the call to "move into the city".

The horses pulling the cart shrank, snorted, and pounded their hooves vigorously, buckling on the bluestone slabs with a "dong dong", like the sound of spring.

Ah, back.

Although the three of Ye Ziqi had their own secret thoughts, they couldn't help but feel emotional when they saw the scenery of the whole city unfolding calmly in front of them.

The statue of the snow sculpture with spreading wings, in the city where there are few passers-by and has not yet woken up, shows its eternal vitality; from a distance, the willow branches seem to have some new green, but the branches are still stiff and not soft enough; a pair of just waking up White geese were driven across the road, and a few butterflies with beautiful patterns danced their wings and climbed over the shoulders of pedestrians...

Ye Ziqi froze suddenly.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning, and an electric current ran through his body. On this green morning, his heart and breathing stagnated together.In the frozen eyes, I saw the most thrilling green in the whole Hanye City.

The woman in the green skirt was tall and tall, looking at him across the whole bluestone street, her eyes seemed to be dewy, with her bun exposed on her temples, and Bi Qiong was light.

Tang Wandie.
