The turtle bandits, no, the three pillars of Yunzhou of the Wei Dynasty gathered together and took their seats outside the camp.
King Cheng looked at the Dongfang Shangzhu Kingdom, his eyes passed over his hair, looked completely at his face, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that the Qing family is the youngest Shangzhu Kingdom, and they are indeed young and promising."
The red-haired Shangzhu Kingdom said politely: "Your Majesty, there is no one in Shangzhu Kingdom who is not a swordsman. I am a swordsman, and Shangzhu Kingdom just calls me nice. How can I compare with my brothers?"
King Cheng thought to himself: People say that this young man from Dongfang Shangzhu Kingdom is hot-tempered and a hot mess, but now he seems to be quite reasonable.
Old Shangzhu Guo smiled and said: "With your brother's talent, isn't it that swordsmanship is just around the corner? You won't blame me for asking you to take time out of your busy schedule to help me, right?"
Dongfang Shangzhu Guodao said: "That's okay. Anyway, let alone three days or five days for major events in Yunzhou, there is no hope even for a year and a half. It's just right for me to come here and do some serious things. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable for my idle bones. I heard that we are going to kill the people from the Prosecution Department here? That's great! I've wanted to kill them for a long time." After saying that, he grinned, revealing a mouth of white teeth.
King Cheng was shuddered secretly. It wasn't that he thought the people from the Prosecution Department couldn't be killed, but he just felt that this kid was a little ignorant.
Old Shangzhu Guo twisted his beard and said: "I knew what your brother was thinking. But we are not here to kill people. It is best not to touch the large force of the District Procuratorate. In the end, only the small force of the District Procuratorate may be left." If you want to take action, I will naturally let you do it."
Dongfang Shangzhuguo curled his lips and said: "Let's talk about it. What's the point of bullying children? Since I'm here, I will naturally listen to your brother. If you want to be really happy, you have to wait for the moment when something big is successful. If I become a After becoming a swordsman, I will try Marquis Gao Yuan. I heard that this prince is the top among swordsmen, and his majesty can overwhelm Yunzhou. I wonder how he can compare with my Suzaku?"
Xia Shangzhuguo laughed and said: "Okay, one day when the clouds clear and the sun finally clears, I will leave that dead old woman to you, brother."
His Highness King Cheng felt a little dizzy, but he seemed to be unable to reason with it. Could he still hope that such a day would not happen? He quickly changed the subject and said, "Zhou Qing, are the major events in Yunzhou progressing smoothly?"
Zhou Zhuguo looked slightly serious and said: "It's okay. The survey of Yunzhou is progressing in an orderly manner. It's just that Zhaocheng was frustrated and Zhongtian Mansion was too well-defended, so we need to find another node. Now it seems that it must be in the north. Let's find it slowly. . In addition, I was previously ordered to develop a team among the refugees, which originally went quite smoothly. The people there are available, the talents are sufficient, and it is easy to keep secrets. Unfortunately, Marquis Gao Yuan has also been eyeing this piece of fat recently. They can make it public under the banner of the government Recruitment and the conditions given are also very generous. If we can't compete against each other, the progress will be slow."
His Highness King Cheng said: "These evil things..." He wanted to say something, but he remembered that this Shangzhu country was also from Yin Hui Township, and seemed to be unable to hear the word "Yin Hui Township", so he changed his words and said: "These The refugees are good people who have suffered disasters and have nothing. However, the puppet government treats them like thieves. How can you not resent them? They just have to obey because of the power. Although we cannot recruit openly, how can we treat them worse than others? etc. I am reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince that Yunzhou will increase the amount of money specifically for you to recruit local people, this is also for a major event."
…
Zhou Zhuguo originally heard the word "danger", and his eyes were filled with blood, but he suppressed it. He was overjoyed when he heard the word behind him and said: "Thank you, Your Highness. You are supporting me from behind. We need people and money, so why worry about big things?" Can’t do it?”
Cheng Wang said: "That's exactly what I said. The major events in Yunzhou cannot be lost. If Otsuka Zai doesn't return, what will happen to the people? It's just that we want to clear the clouds and see the sun, it may be three to five years at most, one or two years at least. There is a setback in Zhuocheng, It will take a few more months. If the next node does not go smoothly, it will inevitably be delayed again and again..."
Old Shangzhu Guodao said: "There will be no such thing. We are acting cautiously now, for the sake of the overall situation, and also for the sake of Yunzhou to prevent the death of some common people. This is the benevolence of the court. But we have really found the next node, that is How can you be stingy in a crucial game? At the most critical moment, you have to put the overall situation first and abandon a few people. You can always succeed. At worst, you can clean up the mess after success."
Zhou Zhuguo said "Huh?" and said, "Didn't he say 'What's wrong with the common people' when he became king?"
King Cheng and Lao Shangzhuguo paused at the same time, but King Cheng sighed: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, we still have to care for the people. In the future, this will all be ours..."
Before he finished speaking, the sky suddenly turned dark.
Countless iron railings rose from the ground, instantly surrounding the three people. Then a suffocating pressure fell from the sky, making people feel heavy all over.
King Cheng was stunned and suddenly thought: It's over!
He didn't even have time to discern what was going on, the first thought in his mind was this. The high-spirited mood he had felt when he saw the two pillars of the National Assembly suddenly fell to the bottom, and he even became discouraged and unresponsive.
Fortunately, he is not alone.
At the critical moment, a powerful force swept over him and swung him out like a swing.
King Cheng suddenly flew out of the darkness, his head lit up, and he returned to the bright sun. In the bright light, as soon as the depression and coldness receded, my mind immediately started to spin.
Someone is attacking!
It was just that his brain was spinning, but he couldn't move his body. He staggered and fell down, and then someone next to him helped him.
King Cheng looked to the side and saw a head of red hair. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhu Guo is still here, great - ah, where is old Zhu Guo?"
The red-haired Zhuguo pointed forward and said: "Inside."
Just a few steps in front of me, I saw a prison standing out of thin air. The steel railings penetrated the sky and the earth and were airtight. Looking in from the railings, I looked into a black hole with unfathomable depth. It was like looking into an abyss, and there were even gloomy and twisted moulds, blocking my sight. In the middle of the railing, there was a lifelike stone carving of a tiger's head. King Cheng recognized it immediately. It was the zodiac animal, the taming beast.
It's swordsmanship...no, it's swordsmanship!
King Cheng's heart sank. If it was swordsmanship, the realm of swordsmen from the Zhuguo Kingdom would naturally not be afraid. He said tremblingly: "Is Shangzhu Kingdom trapped because of me? I...I can't help the old general."
Zhou Zhuguo was speechless for a moment when he looked at him - he wasn't dead yet, so he was in a hurry to mourn? Although he had vaguely heard of King Cheng's reputation in other counties before, his reputation could be considered to be "well-known for hundreds of miles" since the battle in Zhaocheng. I thought he was a serious person when I met him in person, but he didn't expect his true colors to be revealed so quickly. He said patiently, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Lao Zhuguo chose to stay in there by himself."
…
King Cheng was surprised: "Really?"
Zhou Zhuguo said: "Yes, he stayed inside to hold off the swordsman himself, and leave the rest to us."
King Cheng said: "The rest..."
His eyes moved and he saw two people standing opposite, a decadent older young man and a sunny young man, each carrying a sword and looking towards this side.
When he saw these two people, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of familiar panic. Although he clearly didn't recognize either of them, it felt like he had faced them before.
Zhou Zhuguo said: "There should be no swordsman among these two. Your Highness, please choose one?"
King Cheng was stunned and said: "Two of us, one each? Fighting separately?"
Chi Fa Zhu said: "There are exactly three of them, right? It's the first time that His Highness and I meet. Working together may not be as good as fighting separately. Let's see, if His Highness picks the younger one, he should be a little less powerful." After thinking about it, , he warned again: "It doesn't matter if you can't resist, just try to delay it. I will help you after I kill this person."
King Cheng gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Three on three."
Over here, Deputy Chi also said to Tang Zhao: "Lao Xing was held back by that old boy just now, and he couldn't get over it for a while. But he struck first, and now he has the advantage at home, so it doesn't matter. You pick one?"
Tang Zhao thought deeply: "There is an acquaintance here. The one who is dressed very gorgeously, I have seen him before."
Deputy Chi nodded and said: "Then this is yours. I also think that the red-haired boy is a little harder to fight, and a swordsman must still be dealt with by a swordsman. You deal with that one, I don't think he looks like a swordsman, he is probably a spiritual officer, you want Be careful of his sneak attack interference. If you can beat him, fight him quickly. It's best if you can capture him alive. This guy seems to have a good status and may be worth some money. If you can't beat him, just hold it off. I'll help you after I clean up this."
Tang Zhao nodded. He was the youngest anyway, and he had to listen to Deputy Commander Chi's arrangements. As for who he was not attached to, he reminded Deputy Commander Chi: "That red-haired man may have been infected by Yin Qi. His sword It may be biased toward fire. The sword of the Shangzhu Kingdom in the northeast of the Turtle Bandit should be Li-Fire, so be careful."
When he said this, he was suddenly startled and thought of the nearby Huoxiang Demon Prison. Will he be a victim of hell? Li Huo, could it be Li Huo?
It's just that the opponent hasn't drawn his sword yet, so he can't see whether the sword is the one he imagined.
For a moment, he thought about fighting this kid, but Deputy Chi next to him didn't give him this chance. He suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a stream of alcohol, raised his sword as if he was drunk, and pointed a crooked red hair. Zhu Guo said: "Follow me and fight over there."
This was exactly what Zhou Zhuguo wanted. With a flick of his sleeves, a wave of heat rolled in. Suddenly, the fire and alcohol exploded, and a large group of sparks bloomed in the air, just like a juggling act on the street. The two glared at each other, gave each other an encouraging look to their teammates, and at the same time stood up and rushed into the dense forest.
Only Tang Zhao and King Na Cheng were left looking at each other. Both of them looked serious, but Tang Zhao was more relaxed, while Cheng Wang was a little nervous in his bones, but he could still remain calm on his face.
Although Deputy Chi asked Tang Zhao to fight quickly, Tang Zhao had a lot of experience in fighting and knew that off-site factors should not interfere with the battle. Whether he could fight quickly or not had to be judged based on the situation. He was not impatient, but asked politely: "Have we met somewhere?"
…
It's a good thing he didn't say this, but when he said it, King Cheng became sad and angry, and shouted: "Only a ghost has seen you!" After saying this, there was a boom, and a spirit appeared from behind.
Tang Zhao immediately focused his attention. He knew at a glance that this man was a spiritual official, but he didn't know what kind of spiritual official he was. He has also met a lot of spiritual officers these days, and he knows that their spiritual officers have many branches and have many methods, some of which are weird and not inferior to swordsmanship, so he has to be extra energetic.
As soon as the spirit officer appeared, I saw that it was real and illusory, and the facial features could not be seen clearly, but the clothes were extremely gorgeous, the corners of the skirt were fluttering like flower bones, and the layers of the skirt bloomed like petals, and the tail of the skirt opened again flowers.
Then, the flowers on the skirts seemed to come alive, flowing down from under the skirts and onto the ground, one next to the other, extending into the distance.
In just a few breaths, Tang Zhao found himself in a large garden, surrounded by colorful flowers, prosperous and charming.
"Is this...an illusion that charms the soul? Psychic organ?"
Tang Zhao closed his eyes and turned the "Great Sun Divine Chariot Sutra" to strengthen his spirit.
After a while, he opened his eyes. The garden was still the same, but it had turned into black and blue flowers. The colors were eerie and ghostly, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Immediately afterwards, thousands of flowers withered together, and countless black petals danced with the wind, dancing into the air and turning into ghosts, whimpering.
Changing with every breath, like a dream demon.
"Not just the mind, but also part of the illusion that distorts light."
"laugh--"
Tang Zhao laughed.
"Isn't that a coincidence?"
