Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 2: Sword Five

"My daughter has an audience with His Royal Highness." The woman knelt at the bottom of the steps.

The lord of the country with a black skirt and a green robe turned around slowly by the window, staring at the woman silently for a while.

"Get up," the lord waved to the inner eunuchs who were waiting around, "you all go down."

There were only two people left in the side hall, the king's finger slowly clasped the window sill, as if clasping it on the heart of a person's heart, and he did not speak for a long time.

"The lord wants to ask about Youyin, right?" the woman said.

The lord of the country snorted heavily: "You still know! I heard that you are not allowed to pay homage to his father's spiritual place, and you took away the finger?"

"The lord of the country should know the power of that sword. Ordinary people can't step into its hole. Youyin can walk in, but his father's soul lodged in the sword is guarding him, but the sword It is always the sword of demons, no one knows how long his father's soul can protect him. He is already very impatient, if you push him again at this time, you will push him to a desperate situation."

"But didn't the generation after generation of Heavenly Drive Leaders gain the recognition of the Sovereign Council by pulling out the ancient Cangyun Tooth Sword?"

"Then you must subdue that sword. Only the most steadfast person can restrain the soul in the sword. You Yin is not a suitable candidate. If this continues, he may..."

"What could be?"

"Could turn into a complete lunatic."

The lord was silent for a moment, then waved his sleeves and sighed: "Someone told me that I can give You Yin an official position, but I can't give him an understanding of life and death. I don't agree with it in my heart, but after thinking about it, I think so. I can promote him to be a guerrilla general, but I can't make him understand the bravery of a true hero. The so-called hero can either succeed or fail, and how can he achieve great things without taking great risks? A person would rather die as a hero, He also doesn't want to be born a coward, isn't that how his father picked up the ancient Cangyun Toothed Sword?"

"So his father died."

The king looked at the sky outside the window with his hands behind his back: "Even death is the death of a hero!"

"But he just hopes that his son can grow up safely, marry a wife and have children."

"You are talking nonsense!" The king was furious.

The woman knelt quietly at the foot of the steps, with no expression on her delicate face. The two confronted each other silently.

The inner **** walked in quickly and knelt beside the woman: "My lord, I beseech you general."

"General Xi? Is there something urgent?"

The inner **** leaned into the ear of the king and lowered his voice: "It's a big deal, it's a dead person!"

The lord of the country twitched his eyebrows and nodded: "Tell me!"

He took a deep breath and went down the steps to help the woman up. The woman shrank her shoulders slightly to prevent him from touching him.

The king frowned, but didn't say anything: "I still have some things to do, you should step back. You have to do it yourself, I pity you for thousands of miles to come to me with Youyin, and you have always believed in you. Back then, Patriarch Baili's family was under a lot of pressure. Excuse me, I did not keep You Changji, and I still have regrets to this day. You Yin is my nephew, and I hope that he will inherit his father's ambition and become a hero who draws his sword just like you."

"My daughter... I understand."

The woman gave a deep bow and exited the curtain.

The general in black walked in quickly, and turned back the moment he passed her. The woman kept her head down, and the general only saw her slender back.

"General, what's going on?"

Xi Yan withdrew his gaze: "The three teams of Fenghu scouts who reported to the king a few days ago have already killed one team. If measures are not taken as soon as possible, it is hard to say how long the remaining two teams can survive."

Baili Jinghong was shocked: "How did you kill it? Who did it?"

"I don't know yet," Xi Yan slowly shook his head, "It seems to be Tianluo Mountain Hall's method."

"These gangsters are still alive?"

"Not only did they not die, but I'm afraid they are living well. There is a word in Tianluo called 'Cicada Life', which means that they will hide in the crowd and wait for the opportunity when they are in danger, just like cicadas will hide in the soil They live in the forest and don’t grow their wings until spring. When they feel that the time is right, the killers will pour out.”

"So which side are they on?"

"I don't know," Xi Yan shook his head, "Emperor Qiangwei's ability to win the world is related to Tianluoshantang's defection at a critical moment. So far no one can explain why Tianluo did that. Their own survival has no other direction.”

"What do we do?"

"The Ghost Bat Battalion has been dispatched, but we may not be able to keep these Fenghus. We are not prepared for Tianluo's attack. Since their target is Chunguo Fenghu, why don't they directly attack Huangchang? Hou Chaoming said that we don't want their people to be active in Nanhuai, and if Hou Changchang is not willing to tear up the superficial friendship, he will definitely save some face for our country."

"Impossible!" Baili Jinghong gritted his teeth and slapped the table hard, "Ao Taiquan died in battle, orphans and widows in Chunguo, the ugly tiger avoided disaster and cultivated and gathered valleys in Dangyang Valley, Liang Qiusong He is already the de facto lord of the Chun Kingdom! He has now bared his fangs. I dare not say whether he will save Xia Tang any face. Liang Qiusong is like a vulture who only eats dead food and not live animals. If he makes a move, he is sure that the other party is powerless to resist. I only hate Ao Taiquan, a brave man, who sent his neck to Ying Wuyi's blade for nothing. Even though it's a poisonous snake, it didn't dare to come out of the ground, but now it's letting him out. I wish I hadn't gotten rid of him earlier!"

"Then our response is..."

"If Tianluo wants to kill them, let them kill them! Since Liang Qiusong doesn't care about these people's lives, why should we care?" Baili Jinghong sneered.

"Yes! But this time Liang Qiusong dispatched a large number of scouts into Nanhuai. What is the purpose? Chunguo does not border us. Could it be that Liang Qiusong will plot against our country?"

Baili Jinghong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know the truth about this."

"However," he added, "Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, and let him be rampant. I have a rest to guard the general, so I can sleep peacefully."

"It's a blessing to serve the lord." There was a faint smile on the general's lips.

There was a noise outside, and the king showed a displeased expression: "The East Palace is important, who is making noise outside?"

The inner prisoner came in and kowtowed: "My lord, it's probably... maybe the children of the imperial army are there again... practicing."

"Is it a fight?" Xi Yan smiled.

The inner warden was speechless.

"A bunch of useless things! Xia Tang was destroyed by these dandies, and sooner or later this imperial army must be repaired!" The king resented.

"I said that even if the kid pays him, he can't make him feel better. We must strip him naked and throw him into the pond, so we are angry with our brothers!" table.

He is the second son of the Leiyun family, and the Leiyun family is also the family of military forces in Wanzhou. Idol. Lei Yunzhengke also quarreled with his parents about joining the army, so he was sent to the East Palace.

"Where can that poor boy afford money?" Fang Qizhao, who was opposite Lei Yun, snorted, "He is so poor, I checked, he was born by the little wife of the Ji family, a concubine , there is no share in the family property!"

Fang Qizhao's family is not an aristocratic family, but the Fang family is one of the ten surnames of the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, monopolizing the transportation and forging of the entire Nanhuai City. The most important thing in his family is money, and the most important thing is money. On the day he joined the army, he put on the biggest ostentation. He invited more than forty teenagers from families of the imperial guards to drink flower wine and listen to songs in the most expensive Tingtao Pavilion on Ziliang Street. It was also that night that the teenagers rubbed on the girls, and vaguely knew what men and women were like. With this, Fang Qizhao became famous in the Forbidden Army of the Eastern Palace.

"I am this kid who is purely looking for death. I stole our limelight in front of so many people, and dare to enter the East Palace? If I had already run for my life!" Peng Lianyun shook his head.

"I just want him to come, so good to come!" Fang Qizhao smiled evilly, "How can we deal with him if he doesn't come? Today is his first day in the army, and it's not so easy to pass three letters and two rites."

"What's your idea?"

"We'll just wait here, someone will bring him to the door!" Fang Qizhao grinned.

"Your kid is the most insidious!" Lei Yunzhengke knew that he had already prepared, so he slapped him on the head.

"Hmph! If you ask me, unless...unless the girl that the boy hangs out with gives her, strips off and runs from one end of the East Palace to the other, nothing can make him look good!" Fang Qizhao said Smiling with a little obscenity.

"Bah!" Peng Lianyun spat at him, "If that's the case, you can still run to the East Palace? You've already robbed me!"

There was a noise outside, Fang Qizhao jumped up: "It's him or him, the brothers must have snatched this kid on the way."

"Hey, you didn't poke a hornet's nest, did you? This kid is hard to deal with!"

"It's okay, I've arranged for more than ten brothers," Fang Qizhao pushed the door open.

All three of them were stunned. The moment the door opened, the figure at the gate of the barracks jumped up. The wooden knife in his hand was used as a short spear, and he stabbed straight into the air to hit the last young warrior holding an iron chain. He landed, put the wooden knife behind his back instead of a wooden knife, swept around the circle of mourning people, and suddenly turned his gaze to Fang Qizhao and the other three in the distance. The shadow of the camp gate covered his whole body, but it couldn't hide his gaze, the black eyes like a tiger.

"Big brother... where is big brother?" Fang Qizhao's voice was distorted.

"I haven't seen him since morning..."

Close! "

The flame rose and fell, as if following his breath. The heavy darkness was pressed down, and there seemed to be the voices of many people screaming loudly in my ears, but when I listened carefully, I felt that it was just a breeze sweeping through the hall.

"They are there, they are calling me... calling me!" You Yin thought.

His hands were shaking. His vision blurred, only his hand and the huge piece of blue metal in front of him, and then the skeleton, it didn't move quietly, but its expression seemed to be changing, it seemed to be smiling, and it looked at You faintly. open arms. You Yin stretched out his hand hard, and at this moment he felt that every inch he pushed was difficult. He felt uneasy without the wrench on his finger, which he had always thought would protect him.

Metal, fire, and the smile of a skeleton, these seem to be slowly fused together. You Yin took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand with all his might!

The world was spinning, and he was pushed back by the scorching force, and his whole body felt as hot and painful as if he had been scorched by fire. He curled up on the ground and howled, clamping his painful hands between his legs.

After a long time, he took out his hand, and saw two iron-gray marks on his palm that had been burned.

He rushed up and kicked out the brazier, and sat in the dark panting.
