The Warrior of Love

When he and Xiaoyu arrived in Shouchun, the former capital of the Chu State, now the headquarters of the six states, was bustling like no other place. Even in times of war and chaos, it was obviously safer, more stable, and more prosperous than other places.

These conditions will naturally attract a large population to gather together. What's more, there are wars everywhere and natural disasters everywhere. There are a lot of ordinary people who are displaced. Even if only one percent choose Shouchun, it will be enough to make this place overcrowded.

In fact, Jiang Liu and Xiaoyu still had to queue up to enter the city. They had no intention of breaking the rules. Although they were much stronger than ordinary people, they still waited obediently.

After all, the two didn't want to cause trouble - but the opposite happened.

When Jiang Liu and Xiaoyu entered the city, the guards at the gate asked Xiaoyu to show her true face to check if there was anything suspicious. When Xiaoyu pulled down her hood, revealing her fox ears, the guards immediately became nervous.

"It's the ears!"

"ear!"

"It's a fox!"

"She must be in cahoots with that woman. We can't let her go!"

"Let's go together!"

As if stimulated by something, more than a dozen guards surrounded them at once, scaring the nearby people, who all moved away to avoid being affected.

"Hey? What's going on?" Xiaoyu became nervous and said in confusion, "I don't know you, why are you arresting me?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

A captain of the guards spoke up: "You still want to deceive us? Dream on! Just surrender, you witch!"

"Witch?" Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.

The State of Chu was a particularly "superstitious" country. Both the common people and the royal palace believed in witchcraft and divination, which could even influence military marches and wars.

Although she had been mistaken for a monster in the past, even a monster would be worshipped by the people because the people had always been in awe of supernatural creatures and phenomena... This was the first time she was directly called a monster.

Without giving her a chance to explain, the guards formed a circle to surround the two of them, and gradually narrowed the circle with their long spears.

From their coordinated movements, it was clear that they were not a mob. However, it was too naive to think that they could control Jiang Liu and Xiao Yu just by doing this.

"Humph!"

An invisible aura was released briefly and quickly, sweeping across the soldiers like a gust of wind.

This is probably the smallest scale of domineering color. In order not to affect the people nearby, Jiang Liu even limited the domineering aura within five meters. It can be said that he was extremely restrained.

"Well!"

As expected, the soldiers fell down one after another with their eyes rolled back, and the scene was suddenly empty.

However, unexpectedly, the captain did not faint and was still standing!

Jiang Liu looked at him in surprise: Although he was very restrained, it was not something that ordinary people could endure.

It seems that the average level of these soldiers is much higher than expected. This team leader can even hunt down some weak monsters alone.

"Ugh, evil heretic!"

Watching his companions fall one by one, the captain was furious. He originally just wanted to capture people, but now he had the intention to kill them. He raised his long spear and swung it with sharp momentum.

He stretched out a finger, and before the captain of the guards could react, Jiang Liu had already blocked the long spear in front of him.

Zheng!

It was like a collision between metals. Jiang Liu's fingers were unharmed, but Chang Ge's head flew high and fell down in the captain's dumbfounded eyes.

Cut off the long spear with your fingers? How did you do it?

It must be some kind of witchcraft!

So it seems that they are in the same group as that guy before, they are all monsters!

After all, these two women are foxes!

Damn it! Even if it means death, we cannot let this kind of guy into the city again - the captain has already made up his mind to die.

But before he could fight back, a voice suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Stop! They are not the enemy!"

The captain stopped subconsciously and looked to the side blankly. After seeing the face of the person coming, he was in awe and put away his weapon without hesitation, as if he believed the other party unconditionally.

Seeing that the misunderstanding had been resolved (temporarily), Jiang Liu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he didn't want to cause casualties, and a peaceful resolution would be best.

When he turned his head curiously and looked at the person who came, the other person also looked at him.

"You are dressed strangely. It seems that you are the "reinforcements" that the major general mentioned."

Although he said this, in fact this person's outfit was also very strange.

Although it is also an ancient-style robe, its style is completely different from today's and is closer to the look of Hanfu.

He wore a tall crown on his head and silk shoes on his feet. His skin was dark but he exuded a gentle and refined temperament. There was always a playful and cunning look in his eyes, which made people stay away from him.

"Oh my, I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'm so sorry, but please forgive these soldiers. After all, something like that happened a few days ago... I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Chen Gong, the chief of staff of the Six Nations Coalition Forces. You can also call me Caster."

Chapter 233: I am very angry.jpg

"Please forgive me. Something happened not long ago that made the soldiers very nervous."

Entering the city, Chen Gong said as he led the two people.

"About a month ago, when the White Huns' offensive was at its fiercest, the young general led the army to fight on the front line, while the old general Xiang Liang stayed in the rear, responsible for transporting food and gathering the people.

At a critical moment when supplies were running low and the city was no longer able to sustain itself, a mysterious woman who claimed to be a "goddess" appeared in the city.

She demonstrated a very advanced ability in spellcasting, cured many wounded soldiers and ordinary people, and even used magic to influence celestial phenomena and increase crop yields.

And the goddess had fox ears and a tail."

Jiang Liu turned to look at Xiaoyu when he heard this. The fox-eared girl shook her head quickly: "Don't look at me. I don't have the ability to do that. It's ok for me to pray for rain or something, but there's no hope of ripening the crops."

"Well, Mr. Jiang Liu and Miss Xiaoyu, don't worry, just keep listening."

Chen Gong smiled and said, "General Xiang Liang was naturally very happy when he learned about the existence of this goddess, but as a military strategist, he was naturally suspicious of matters concerning gods and ghosts, so he was quite cautious at first.

But later, this goddess showed the miracles of the legendary god - Donghuang.

This was a popular folk belief in the State of Chu. After the Qin Dynasty conquered Chu, it was consciously suppressed, but it still had a great influence among the people. Even the old generals let down their guard and trusted the goddess more.

Lord Xiang Liang may have felt that this was "destiny", and the appearance of the goddess made him extremely excited. "

If that was all he heard, it might not be a bad thing, but Chen Gong quickly changed the subject.

“But as time went on, Lord Xiang Liang became more and more dependent on the goddess. From military decisions to the people’s livelihood, he would ask for the goddess’ opinion on almost every order.

When the young general returned to Shouchun, the old general had already obeyed the goddess's words and was even bewitched by her. He began to alienate the young general and tried to separate him from the army and deprive him of his military power in disguise.

However, this plan was discovered by the young general's favorite concubine, and the two sides fought openly and covertly for a long time. "

Wow, is this the Qin and Han Dynasty version of the palace fighting drama? Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and he was expecting Chen Gong to say something more exciting, looking like he was enjoying the fun.

As expected, Chen Gong also said, "Originally, the young general had absolute say in the army, and even the old general could not compete with him. However, the young general could not attack the old general directly, and it was difficult to defeat the goddess who was protected by him, so there was chaos for a while."

"So how was it resolved in the end?" Xiaoyu was obviously also curious, "Did they fight?"

"In the end, it was the young general's favorite concubine, Her Highness Yu Ji, who could no longer bear to watch, and broke into the palace alone and defeated the goddess. As a result, the old general protected the goddess and escaped from the city with only a few guards. It seems that she became a bandit."

alone?

Can I ask, who is the better fighter here, Yu Ji or Xiang Yu?

The Overlord is strong enough to lift the tripod, and can Yu Ji lift the Overlord up again?

But according to the moon's settings, this is not impossible!

Jiang Liu always felt like he had something to complain about, but he didn't know where to say it, which really made him feel annoyed.

"But what does this have to do with us?" Xiaoyu asked in confusion, "Why do you seem to know we are coming in advance?"

"This is the order from the major general. The specific reason... you should understand it when you meet him." Chen Gong smiled mysteriously, seeming unfathomable.

Shouchun is a rare big city of that era. Although it has experienced the ravages of war more than once, under the specific historical background, it was built into a capital city with military fortress functions.

The city has a large population, and there is a constant stream of traffic. The soldiers patrolling the streets show the strength of the city's military.

What is surprising is that for such a big city with such a large population, it doesn’t feel crowded at all, and when walking on the street I don’t feel suffocated by the crowds.

A careful observation will reveal that the layout of this city's buildings, streets, bridges, etc. have been efficiently integrated and planned. The current overcrowded situation was envisioned from the beginning, so the space was used as effectively as possible.

Buildings with different functions were systematically grouped into one area, similar to the layout of commercial and residential areas in later generations. Even roads were designed specifically for horse-drawn carriages and soldiers to pass quickly, in order to distinguish them from ordinary people.

While marveling at the sight, Jiang Liu and the other two passed through the outer city and finally arrived at the royal palace.

Although it is called a royal palace, there is actually no real royal family here. It is just under the banner of "reviving the State of Chu", but a King of Chu has not yet been enthroned. The people in charge are the Xiang clan.

To be precise, after Xiang Liang's failure and escape, the owner here was Major General Xiang Ji, also known as the famous King of Western Chu, Xiang Yu!

As a military advisor, Chen Gong naturally had no obstacles and went all the way to the back garden of the palace.

"It's all my fault anyway! You're the only one who's innocent!"

"not me……"

"It's all because of my own evil intentions. Otherwise, why would I risk my life to help an ungrateful person? Now, I've done everything right, but you're blaming me."

"I'm not blaming you, my uncle—"

"Uncle, uncle, uncle, you know your uncle all the time. He is not related by blood, why do you care so much? I don't understand human emotions! Anyway, you think everything is more important than me. I don't care about anything, right?"

"Ah, let me explain!"

"That's enough! Don't come looking for me again - by the way, I'm in the mountains thirty miles outside the city. Remember, I'm very angry, don't come looking for me, or I'll kill you!"

"Uh..." - When the three of them walked into the garden, they saw a helpless figure kneeling on the ground. The air was filled with magical light, as if some magic ceremony had just ended.

Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, deliberately increased the volume of his footsteps, and turned around the corner with the two of them.

It's also strange. In just a blink of an eye, everything that happened just now seemed like an illusion, and the scene has changed drastically.

The dejected figure disappeared, and standing in the garden was a young man who was neatly dressed, tall, and had handsome features.

As the ruler of a faction, his attire could not be described as gorgeous, in fact it was too simple. The only unusual item on his body was the long sword at his waist, and there was nothing special about the rest.

But even so, this person standing here has his own aura, like a reef in the raging waves. No matter how fierce the waves are, he just stands still like a mountain.

Judging from his age, he should be less than 30 years old. He is not handsome, but his facial features are as deep as a statue. When he is still, he gives people an indestructible impression.

He stood quietly in the back garden, looking up at the northern sky thoughtfully, as if worried about the future of the world - but Jiang Liu had seen what had just happened, so he naturally would not be scared.

"Ahem, Major General."

Chen Gong reminded: "The guest you are waiting for has arrived."

"Oh?"

There was no trace of the embarrassment he had just shown in front of his lover in his calm voice. The man known as the Overlord slowly turned around, cast his gaze towards Jiang Liu and Xiao Yu, and smiled a kind and reserved smile.

"Welcome, guests from afar. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xiaoyu took a deep breath and subconsciously held Jiang Liu's hand tightly. She didn't know what she saw, but the expression on her little face became inexplicably confused.

Jiang Liu was speechless for a moment, his attention was deeply attracted by Xiang Yu's eyes.

——Chongpuzi.

This is a historical description of Xiang Yu. The so-called "double pupils" refer to eyes with two pupils, which are considered to be a natural anomaly. Such a thing has also appeared among ancient saints.

However, in Type-Moon, this legend could not simply reflect something special about the eyes...

In fact, after looking into the pair of eyes with silver rainbow light on the outer layer and dark green pupils on the inner layer, Jiang Liu immediately made a judgment: That is the devil's eye!

Moreover, it is of a very high mysterious level, even rarer than the Petrified Demon Eye!

Chapter 234: Chen Gong's Proposal

"Are you scared?"

Noticing the fox-eared girl's reaction, Xiang Yu smiled helplessly.

"These eyes are indeed uncomfortable, but please forgive me, I can't control it myself."

"what?"

"These eyes have their own life and can make their own choices." There was a hint of bitterness in Xiang Yu's smile.

The Mystic Eye in the Type-Moon world is essentially an independent magic circuit that is extremely difficult to control. There are countless magicians who have collapsed due to being unable to control their Mystic Eye.
