Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

When Wang Zhong heard the military order, his face turned pale with fright. He finally took the city gate back, why did he have to open it again by himself?

But a man rode over and snorted coldly: "What? Is General Wang deaf? Or is he afraid of barbarians?"

Wang Zhong looked at Ma Chao, the veteran who had fought with him all his life, and complained in his heart, saying that your son just died, so you can ignore it for revenge.

"Old horse, you are joking. I'm afraid that your old injury has not healed. Don't fall off your horse and die in a while. You will embarrass us Sanwei!"

"Open the city gate and go out of the city with me!"

The gate of the city was wide open, and the two commanders rushed out with the three guards. As soon as they left the city, the soldiers saw the barbarian army running away with their backs. These thieves set fire to their hometown and killed people. Then I just want to run away!

Seriousness and anger appeared on the faces of the soldiers, and the sudden appearance of the figure suspected of being General Lian was confirmed by the reaction of the barbarian army. The strong men of the northern lands raised their guns and swords high, shouting and chasing down the barbarians.

As a result, the barbarian army became even more flustered, fleeing one by one, fearing that they would be left behind.But because of the heavy rain, the land is already muddy and the crowd is crowded, how can you run fast?

On the contrary, if you are not careful, you will stumble and stumble in the mud, and the people behind will step on the fallen people in front and continue to run away.In this way, half of the barbarian army was trampled to death in the rainstorm before the upper three guards could catch up!
Not to mention that after the three guards caught up with these barbarians who had no fighting spirit, they hacked and killed the horse thieves full of anger, wishing they could bite the enemy to death with their teeth, and the shouts of killing continued until dawn.

And Ye Ziqi has been standing on the rocky cliff, overlooking everything on the battlefield, what the old demon said is right, it really made him see more blood, as bright as flowers.

It's just red, but there is a little cinnabar between her eyebrows.

—— "Cold Leaves Chronicles"——

In February of the 22nd year of Wuxuan, the Liefeng tribe invaded the frontier, and the second guard fought against Wanmuhe, and was defeated. Lian Hongye, the commander of the guard, died in battle.

In the same month, the Gale Department attacked the city, and the defender Baichengshuang led the crowd to fight hard, and the enemy retreated.It was night, with heavy wind and rain, and the enemy leader said: "He said that it was rainy and windy in the middle of the night, so I dare not come. The attack must be overcome." Then they attacked the city at night.Shuang fought the enemy for the first time and could not win.

Suddenly, someone wearing armor and holding a sword climbed onto the city and killed Pan Gula, the leader of the barbarian tribe.The barbarian army was in chaos, and they all said that "General Lian is alive." The liver and gallbladder were broken, and they fought and fled.The three guards went out of the city to chase them, and wiped out the Gale Department.

After the war, there were rumors in the city: "Who is supposed to resist the wind and rain? General Han Yelian!" (Note [-])

One day later, Hanye Ancestral Temple

Crowds of people crowded shoulder to shoulder and filled the path of worship, and the city residents held long incense sticks in their hands to thank the gods in the temple for winning the war and for surviving the war.

An officer in military uniform stood on a high place overlooking the people who were going to the main hall of the ancestral temple. Hearing these survivors praise the protection of the ancestral soul, he showed no expression or words.

"This is also the fate of soldiers. The people who have worked hard to protect them will turn around and take their treasures to thank the gods."

Listening to the voice in his heart, Ye Ziqi remained silent. After the war, he didn't say a word except for some basic answers.

It wasn't because of weakness, in fact, his body's resilience was amazing, and he was able to get out of bed and walk after a day of recuperation.Only Taotie's resentment would arise from time to time, eroding his will, but he could hold on for a while.

In contrast, Gu Feng, Qi Lao, and even the commander-in-chief Wang Zhong and Ma Chao are still so injured that they cannot get out of bed.Baichengshuang saw that there was no one in the city who could take charge of the overall situation, so he insisted on taking a few pills of strong medicine, and insisted on directing the post-war work.

When Ye Ziqi went to report to the palace, he was assigned to lead soldiers to guard the order of the ancestral temple. After all, places with many people are always prone to accidents.

The armor on his body has been tattered, but it has not been replaced.On that night, he was still unable to protect himself with luck like those real masters, so he went into and out of the enemy's formation, relying on this armor to block hundreds of sword blows for him.

Now standing in this smoke-filled temple, it seems that his heart has been rested, his face gradually became a little angry, and he asked softly in his heart:
"Why am I still alive?"

It turned out that the only emotion he recovered from was disappointment.

When he ate the gluttonous inner alchemy, he thought he would never wake up.

As if to escape from grief, so flee into hatred, killing and destruction.

Why do I have to wake up.

"It's always a good thing to survive."

"That's not what you said at the beginning. You said that if you don't cultivate your mind, you will be swallowed up by Taotie's evil spirit, but I—"

Ye Ziqi originally wanted to say why he was fine now, but when he thought about it carefully, even though his consciousness was hazy on the night of the decisive battle, he had not completely lost it. He clearly knew how he was facing hundreds of people with a single sword strike. , One sword, cut down six swords.

"--How is this going?"

The old demon sighed.

"It's because of her."

"Remember? Before she passed away, she put a leaf on your forehead. It was actually the crystallization of her spiritual power all her life. She probably wanted to transfer her cultivation to you, and accidentally suppressed Taotie's evil spirit. By now Now, I'm pressing you too."

"This seat will go to rest for a while, and repair your body from the inside for a day. I am too tired."

Ye Ziqi continued to stand silently, his face was no longer facing the temple road, no one could see his expression.

Until a messenger ran over quickly.

"Report to the centurion!" Running to the front, the soldier knelt and saluted:
"In the city, the people who were killed the night before were investigated, and they found the residence of Mr. Tang Sizhou in the Young Mansion. They found that all the people in the mansion were killed, and only one lunatic survived. According to the investigation, the Tang Mansion was also broken into by thieves the night before. This matter has been reported. Give it to General Shuang, General Shuang said, leave this matter to you, my lord."

Ye Ziqi's pupils dilated a circle, and said: "Understood, let's go down."

As soon as the messenger left, Ye Ziqi immediately found a few chiefs, explained some things that need to be paid attention to, and then hurriedly walked outside the temple.

There were many people in the ancestral temple building, on the way to leave, in order to avoid the overcrowded main road, Ye Ziqi deliberately bypassed a few side halls and walked out of the temple through a small door.

When he passed a courtyard, he saw a strange old pagoda tree with countless red knots tied on it. Both ends of the knotted red ropes hung down to the ground. A fish with a long tail.

Ye Ziqi was full of thoughts, but didn't pay attention, and walked directly under the tree.

The long red ribbon tickled the top of his head, and he raised his head subconsciously.

Just raising his head subconsciously, a red fish with two long tails floated past his eyes.

He saw two names written on the two tails of the "fish":

"Ye Ziqi" and "Tang Wandie".

The red strings with people's names written on them are overlapping, and the handwriting is clear and recognizable.

"There are still rules for this tether. Those of you outside the city don't understand it. I'll tie it. You go over there and wait."

He froze in place, motionless.

Then he knelt down slowly, put his hands on the ground, and tears fell one by one, moistening the roots of the old locust tree.

"what--"

This soldier who had fought through the entire Long Night Battlefield without falling was suddenly defeated on the ground, not far from thousands of joyful and praying people, in a corner of the side hall where no one was paying attention, facing a tree full of flowers. The old tree with the red rope choked with collapse.
