man sanctified in death row vest

Chapter 291 Old Friend (4400 words)
Bang, bang, bang.

The heavy shackles on the limbs collided with each other, and the sound was clear and sweet.

Zheng Xiu's mouth was tightly sealed with sutures.

When he opened his mouth, a sharp pain came from his mouth.

But this piercing pain not only didn't make Zheng Xiu feel any pain, but a strange sense of stimulation emerged spontaneously.

"paste……"

Zheng Xiu let out an indistinct roar.

His vision turned blood red.

"Phase walking."

In the blood-red field of vision, the "figures" lurking in the mountain wall remained motionless.

Zheng Xiu took a step, and his vision was distorted. In an instant, he entered the canyon as if teleported.

……

Between the canyon walls.

Dozens of masters from the Mountain Clan, their lower bodies were embedded in rocks, blending with the mountain as one.

They are quietly waiting for the big army to arrive here.

This is the canyon where that damned General Zheng blocked ten times the barbarian heroes with a mere few hundred troops 20 years ago.

Thinking that today, more than 20 years later, their mountain clan can bury two hundred cadres here, and it is said that the descendants of General Zheng are buried here, and everyone can't help but feel excited.

The ice and snow could not dampen their enthusiasm, but instead made them murderous, holding their knives tightly.

"Why don't you come? Maybe they noticed it?"

A young barbarian warrior muttered under his breath.

"Impossible." Another old barbarian warrior sneered when he heard the words: "We are the 'sons of the mountain', we are protected by the 'mountain', in the mountains, no one or anyone can find us, and there will be no one." Anyone is our opponent."

The confident laughter of the old warrior spread along the mountain wall, like the pulse of the mountain, only they could understand and hear it.

Everyone rest assured.

Pairs of simple and clean eyes blinked on both sides of the canyon, staring fixedly at the military camps stationed on the snow field outside the canyon, revealing the purest longing.

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

A drop of hot, viscous liquid dripped on the face of a young soldier.

He stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was hot and sticky. When he put it in front of his eyes, he almost cried out in fright: it was a drop of black, smoking liquid, like magma, or asphalt. Forcibly peeled off a piece of skin.

The young soldier's frozen face could no longer tell the difference between numbness and pain. He stared blankly at the strange liquid on his hand, and looked up blankly.

Above the canyon wall, a dark and ominous figure quietly "occupied" the mountain.

The reason for using "occupation" is because the posture of this figure is very weird.He is tall and slender, but with a hunched back, half standing and half squatting, and squatting horizontally on the mountain wall in an unscientific posture.

It looks like a... person.

The black mist on "it" flowed like a ragged veil.

The two hands of "it" have strange weapons, narrow and long like knives, with rounded ends, and the "blade" is covered with densely packed serrations, and there are scarlet blood vessels distributed vertically and horizontally on the knife body, which are actually pulsating.

The young warrior opened his mouth wide, unaware that the drop of pitch-like mucus had corroded a small hole in his hand.

The head of "it" was sealed in a rusty iron lump, leaving only a hideous scar-like mouth exposed.

bass.

"It" opened its eyes.

It was the color of blood.

"Stupid..."

"It" made a strange sound, like laughing or crying.

The cracked mouth was being pulled by strings as thick as little fingers, and more and more mucus dripped when pulled.

At this time, all the barbarian warriors lurking in the canyon heard the strange voice and followed the prestige.

They all saw the figure, showing the same expression as the young soldier.

No one has ever seen anything like this.

After a few breaths, I don't know who's teeth were chattering, and he yelled tremblingly: "Ghost, ghost?"

zizizizi~~~
The strange weapon in the hand of "it" turned suddenly, and the high-speed rotating sawtooth formed an afterimage like an electric light, and the veins of the blood vessels showed a frightening blood.

"It" cracked its mouth into a smile, the corners of its mouth cracked to the base of its ears.

Smile like a child.

This is,

Time to kill.

……

In the military tent, Shen Shizong and Huo Huo were arguing red-faced.

Huo Huo's seniority is higher than Shen Shizong's.

But when it came to the critical moment, no one cared so much anymore, after all, they had to consider the safety of brothers No. [-].

Outside the military tent, soldiers set up pots and cooked stew.

The smell of meat wafted out.

Someone warmed up the wine to dispel the chill.

"There seems to be movement in the canyon."

At this time, a soldier with intelligent five senses suddenly pricked up his ears, and was shocked. The hot meat was rolling in his mouth. Before he could swallow or spit it out, he grabbed the knife beside him and stood up, slipping the meat in his mouth while vigilant With that, there was a chirping sound.

The soldiers that Huo Huo brought with him on this trip are all well-trained elites, all of whom are skilled and quick-witted.For a moment, everyone raised their spirits, became quiet for a moment, and stared at the direction of the canyon.

"what……"

"Help!"

"what……"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Only then did they gradually hear clearly that there were cadenced screams coming from the canyon.

The screams came and went, like a song.

No one knew what happened in the canyon, but the screams that echoed told them that there was something terrible in the canyon.The screams sounded wave after wave. Listening to the song of screams, the soldiers felt as if they were in the scene.

Fengbei's ears moved slightly, and she opened the tent and walked out with a worried face. She looked in the direction of the canyon, clenched her fists tightly, and under her clothes, thorny lines spread silently, and the word "Ding Wei" in her right eye slowly turned with.

The screams stopped without warning.

The snow also stopped.

A clean figure tore through the hazy snow and mist, and gradually approached.

"It's... the Scarlet King!"

A soldier saw it clearly and shouted.

Shen Shizong and Huo Huo, who were arguing in the military tent, as well as Qing Shisan and others, walked out one after another.

Feng Bei's figure flashed, and a ray of light flashed across the snow, and he came to Zheng Xiu's side in the blink of an eye, and stretched out his hand to support him.

Zheng Xiu shook his body slightly, and blinked at Fengbei: "It doesn't matter."

Feng Bei was silent.

Zheng Xiu smiled again: "It's finally comfortable this time."

He had an extremely happy expression.

Feng Bei lost his usual calmness and composure for a moment, and fumbled around Zheng Xiu in a little panic.

Feng Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find the wound hidden under his clothes.

"How did you wake up?"

After repeatedly confirming that Zheng Xiu was not injured, Feng Bei helped Zheng Xiu back and asked in a low voice.

She had seen Zheng Xiu's crazy posture with her own eyes, and the saw almost cut her neck before she woke up.

Later, Fengbei also played a real fire, and the two leveled a mountain, finally extinguishing Zheng Xiu's evil fire.

Zheng Xiu's face was slightly pale and his footsteps were flimsy. He leaned on Mrs. Zhen's soft arms confidently and confidently, and said with a smile: "I found a trick, just like a 'switch', it can be turned off just by saying it."

"Huh? What's the trick?"

"I remembered the last time I almost accidentally injured you. After I used 'Abyss Walker', I would fall into a state of indiscriminate killing, but as soon as I thought of you and knew you were nearby, I would cancel this stance."

Fengbei thought about it for a while, and was startled: "You take me as...'restriction'?"

Zheng Xiu laughed: "Hey, don't say it, really, you have become my 'restriction'." After saying that, Zheng Xiu winked at Feng Bei jokingly: "So don't leave me too far, if you are not here, I will go crazy Get up and kill the world."

Looking up at Fengbei's complex expression, Zheng Xiu touched it quietly, and said rather sighingly: "I use you as my restraint."

"What's going on!"

Huo Huo was holding a knife, Shen Shizong was holding a spear, and rushed forward anxiously.

"Sure enough, there are assassins in the canyon."

Zheng Xiu patted the back of Fengbei's hand, signaling to stop supporting him, and straighten his back.

Huo Huo and Shen Shizong, the two generals, were shocked and uncertain when they heard the words.

"Go explore!"

With a big wave of his hand, Huo Huo led dozens of people to form an army formation, and rushed into the canyon like a rainbow.

Soon the soldiers returned.

Many young soldiers with livid faces supported each other and vomited out all the wine and meat they had just eaten not long ago.

The scene in the canyon was shocking. There were corpses cut into pieces everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers.

Although the Red King didn't say anything, the soldiers looked at the Red King later with a bit of unconcealable fear.

Pei Gaoya, Qing Shisan, the monk, the Scarlet King, and that... Fengbei who has already gained a bad reputation.

The soldiers didn't take it seriously before, but after walking with the Red King, they suddenly realized that the Red King's family was all lunatics.

The assassins in the canyon were slaughtered by "good-hearted passers-by", and they were completely safe.The two generals Shen Shizong and Huo Huo stopped their quarrel because of this, and chose to cross the canyon and go deep into the wilderness.

There was a lot of wind in the canyon, and even after more than an hour, the strong bloody smell inside had not dissipated, and it was still blowing on everyone's faces along with the cold wind.

The soldiers had to cover their mouths and noses to move forward.

After an hour passed, there was another light snowfall, and the fragments of the corpses in the canyon were partially buried by the snow, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.The blood dries up and freezes on the rock forever.

Yue Linglong was still sitting on the horseback, silent all the way.

"It's the clan of the mountain."

Yue Linglong had a complex expression, she bit her lower lip lightly, even though the bodies were mutilated, she still easily recognized them.

Once out of the canyon, the aged Samba knelt down in front of the Red King with a plop.

The old man was trembling all over, and the two consecutive attacks of assassins made the old man keenly aware of the strange atmosphere.

Dagan soldiers looked at the only thirteen barbarian soldiers left in the team, the hatred and contempt in their eyes could not be concealed.Only the knife was left.

The old man knelt down in front of Zheng Xiu, Zheng Xiu was unmoved: "If it's begging for mercy, then forget it, I can't control them."

"Please, my lord...for the sake of the princess...save the Moon Clan..."

Samba burst into tears and kept kowtowing.

"Grandpa Samba." Yue Linglong shook her head vigorously and shouted, but she couldn't say the words after that, she could only watch as Samba slammed heavily on the hard frozen ground, her forehead was smashed, and blood flowed , making that wrinkled face a bit more ferocious and miserable.

Not only Zheng Xiu, everyone was indifferent to the old man's kowtow.

Huo Huo stepped forward, mixed with joy and worry, and said in a low voice: "It seems that there has been a great change in the Northern Barbarians. I think we should immediately report to the Holy One. Maybe this is... a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Zheng Xiu had no expression on his face, and asked back: "Just relying on our mere two hundred troops?"

He knew what Huo Huo meant by "opportunity".

Huo Huo's eyes brightened: "So our top priority now is to reach their territory as soon as possible and find Bai Qiuyue."

Zheng Xiu didn't answer.

Huo Huo was stunned, and knowing that Zheng Xiu was still hesitating, he whispered in his ear: "Don't you want to avenge General Zheng?"

Zheng Xiu closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, there was no wave in the ancient well, without emotion, he smiled slightly at Samba who was still kowtowing: "Get up."

Samba was shocked, and the sudden tenderness of Chi Wang made Samba feel at a loss for a while.

Yue Linglong also looked at Zheng Xiu in surprise, thoughtfully.

Samba didn't bother to wipe the blood on his forehead, and told the ins and outs of the marriage.

As Yue Linglong said before, although Beiman is called a "country" in a broad sense, it is actually a group living and unified structure with clan as the unit.The ten major clans took turns electing the "Wolf King" to lead the Northern Man.

Since the battle 20 years ago, the wolf king of this generation has become weaker and weaker, suffering from injuries.The other nine clans are already ready to move, and the fertile soil where the Moon Clan is located has made many clans envious.

Due to the family rules and the law of survival in the wilderness, although the other nine clans have long had disagreements, the Northern Man has been able to maintain a superficial stability over the years.

But not long ago, an order from the wolf king directly caused the whole clan to be blown up.

He wants to marry his beloved princess, Yue Linglong, who is known as the "No. [-] Beauty in the Northern Barbarians" to Dagan and his relatives.

Long before that, among the younger generation of the top ten clans who were eligible to compete for the position of the next generation of wolf kings, there was a saying: whoever can marry the daughter of the wolf king is qualified to be the new wolf king.

They are not all coveting the beauty of the princess, but mainly for the sake of breath.

Therefore, the act of the Wolf King's "marriage" directly caused the 20-year hidden danger of the Northern Man to completely explode. Countless young warriors who regarded Yue Linglong as their future wife were furious, and crossed the wasteland from all directions to the Moon Clan to ask for an explanation.

Many people think that the wolf king did such a stupid thing when he was old and confused.

The Beiman and Dagan have fought for hundreds of years, and the enmity is deeply rooted, how can it be easily dismissed?

Even Princess Yue Linglong, who was at the center of the vortex, and "Moon Witch Samba" who was in charge of the negotiation, thought so.But just after the wolf king made this decision, when the clan was furious, Yue Linglong and Samba were already on their way to Dagan. Before he could wait for the other nine clans to express their views, the princess had already set off.

"Your Majesty! The Wolf King actually told the old man early in the morning that the princess' future husband can only be a descendant of the Zheng family!"

"What!" Hearing this, everyone was startled, no wonder the three princes fought for nearly two months, but they still failed to win Princess Beiman's favor. It turned out that the son-in-law had long been presumed to be Zheng Xiu.

As they thought about it, they remembered the complicated identities and feuds between Zheng Xiu and Yue Linglong. For a moment, all eyes focused on Zheng Xiu.

Zheng Xiu had known for a long time that this incident was aimed at him from the very beginning, and he was not surprised by Samba's words. He asked calmly, "Why?"

Samba covered his forehead, looked at the princess with cloudy eyes, his expression was tangled, and he hesitated to speak.

Zheng Xiu's eyes were cold, and he just raised his hand.

Not far away, Pei Gaoya reacted quickly, just rolled up his trouser legs, and was about to step out.

"Don't!" Yue Linglong was already terrified of being killed, as soon as Zheng Xiu raised his hand, one person died, and another person died with just one look.A look of pleading appeared on Yue Linglong's indifferent face, she held onto Zheng Xiu's sleeve tightly, her eyes were flushed, "My father... he said, he told me that he promised something more than 20 years ago. "

"After I was born, if I am a son, I will become sworn brothers with you; if I am a woman, I will...be married to you!"

"My dad said, this is a promise! A promise with...an old friend!"

rub!
In an instant, Huo Huo, Shen Shizong and the others felt chills running down their backs, and almost subconsciously retreated a few steps, leaving Zheng Xiu far away.They looked behind Zheng Xiu in horror, the space was distorted, as if something had opened there, and the terrifying breath pressed against their chests, making it difficult for them to breathe.

In the next second, Zheng Xiu grabbed Yue Linglong's neck and lifted the thin girl up.

"you say,"

The Scarlet King's voice was indifferent, colder than ice and snow, deeper than night.

"Your father and my father,"

"Is it an old friend?"
