Wind, wet, salty, slightly sweet with a hint of blood
His thoughts were pulled back by the noisy noise, and the Fox Prince came back to his senses, staring blankly at Dai Sendari who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood.
Prince Fox never imagined that Dugu Shidao would actually be promoted on the spot. Since then, the Central Plains people have another grandmaster. From the perspective of high-end combat power, the Northern Barbarians no longer have an advantage, so do the Northern Barbarians still have an advantage?
The answer is, no more.
What made Prince Fox fall into deep thought was Sun Long's words.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, the battle between Dugu Shidao and Dai Sendari entered a fierce battle.
The two short axes hidden by Dai Sendari did not pose a threat to Dugu Shidao. The latter's five senses and six senses had long been understood, and ordinary sneak attacks could not avoid his perception.
But the power of Daisendari's ax is indeed terrifying. Just the energy carried on the ax can crack mountains and crack rocks, let alone be hit directly by the axe.
Daisendari's attack method is brave and sudden! Continuously squeezing forward, the ax can be used as a long-range attack, whirling and slashing from everywhere, or it can be used like a long-handled axe, using the connection of beef tendons to perform powerful chopping moves. Daisen Darri, who has strong internal energy, does not hesitate to consume his internal energy. He goes all out when he takes action. Even the tent where everyone is discussing is also attacked by Daisen Darri. He cuts it in the middle with one axe, and completely cuts it with another axe. scrapped.
It was a giant tent with a height of more than four meters and a diameter of more than eight meters. When the tent was split open by an axe, Sun Long's eyebrows couldn't stop jumping.
If it weren't for the help of two masters, he would not dare to come to the core area to see Prince Fox.
Different from Dai Sendari's bravery, Dugu Shidao's marksmanship is like running water, and there is no leakage during defense. No matter it is the tip, body, or tail of the gun, every pick, stab, point, pull, and bomb are all just right. The center of gravity of the ax hit the center. With the Arrancar, Dugu Shidao's extreme precision and keen insight made Sun Long marvel.
"This is the Luo Shen Gun. The marksmanship created by the female war goddess is completely different from the marksmanship that became famous in the past. Without the gun, it is the domineering king of a hundred soldiers. Instead, it uses meticulous precision as a means to kill the enemy. Faced with this kind of marksmanship, you can't make any mistakes, as a mistake can mean death!"
Zhai Xuanjing pointed at Sun Long with a calm tone and no sense of nervousness at all.
Judging from the situation alone, Dugu Shidao has been suppressed and beaten, and the attacker has always been Daisen Dari. His attack is too fierce. If it were Sun Long, he might not be able to survive such an airtight continuous attack. Ten breaths.
In fact, there were many strange and changeable aspects in Daisendari's attack. During the flying axes, the huge howling sound was almost never cut off, and the flying axes created many afterimages. In this way, both visually and auditory All of them have a certain impact. For the defender, losing two of the five senses is an extremely unfavorable situation.
"With a strength like Dai Sendari's, he is only ranked eleventh on the Northern Barbarian master list. It's hard to imagine how strong the top ten must be!" Sun Long took the time to sigh.
"The Northern Barbarians are naturally good at cultivation. If we let them have more people like Zhengyang Wenchen who manage the world and govern the country, the world situation will probably change!" Zhai Xuanjing also felt this.
"List? There is actually a list for me as a Northern Barbarian warrior. Can you help me clarify my doubts?"
Sun Long looked at the fox prince who had come to him at some point. Sun Long thought to himself that you don't care about the battles of his own soldiers, so why did you come to listen to Qiang Gen?
Sun Long asked curiously: "Prince Fox knows everything about the world, but he doesn't know the list of the top 100 masters in the world?"
Prince Fox shook his head and said sincerely: "I really don't know."
Sun Long thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed possible. This list of the top 100 masters in the world was more like something for middle and low-level warriors to enjoy themselves. Most of the real superiors didn't care about this kind of list, and it was probably the same for Prince Fox.
Sun Long said: "Since Prince Fox wants to know more about it, I will tell you some of the situations on the Northern Barbarian Master List."
The fox prince thanked him.
Sun Long continued: "There are a total of fifteen Northern Barbarian masters on the list. Among them, there are two leaders. They are the eldest prince of the Kle tribe, Kle Yiqi, and the iron prince of your Niruwen tribe, Qiyan Aguda. !”
At this point, Sun Long took a deep look at the Fox Prince and found that the latter nodded solemnly. He didn't know what was going on, whether it was because the list was accurate, or because he was thinking about how someone could know so much about the Northern Barbarian warriors.
However, Sun Long would definitely not explain it in detail to the other party, but would simply explain the list again.
Prince Fox also heard his name in this list, even ranked sixth, and couldn't help but smile. Sun Long didn't see what the smile contained.
Finally, Sun Long concluded: "It's interesting to say that the twelfth to fifteenth people on the Northern Barbarian list are all members of the Hu Lie tribe. Together with the blood prince Hu Liehachi, there are actually five people in the entire Hu Lie tribe. People are on the list, accounting for one-third of the entire list.”
After Sun Long finished speaking, he clearly noticed that the Fox Prince seemed to have fallen into some kind of thinking, which was Sun Long's intention.
The purpose of his coming here is to cooperate with the Northern Barbarians, but there are four major tribes in the Northern Barbarians, so he chose the Niruwen tribe. In fact, he also implicitly stated that he is most optimistic about the Niruwen tribe. To put it bluntly, , the most optimistic about him is the Fox Prince.
As Zhai Xuanjing said before, if the Northern Barbarians can have a minister who can manage the world, I am afraid that the world will undergo huge changes, and Prince Fox undoubtedly has this ability.
Ignoring Prince Fox who was deep in thought, Sun Long turned his attention back to the battle between Dugu Shidao and Dai Sendari.
Dai Sendari's attack was fierce and non-stop, like a heavy rain, constantly washing away Dugu Shidao's defense, making Sun Long couldn't help but wipe the latter's sweat.
Zhai Xuanjing, who had always been calm and composed on the side, gave Sun Long some confidence, otherwise Sun Long would never be able to be so calm on his face.
Suddenly, there was a sharp energy in the venue, causing everyone present to step back subconsciously. Those with weak cultivation levels took three or four steps back, making their bodies unsteady, while those with high cultivation levels, such as Sun Long, Banya took a step back subconsciously. This was his body's instinct, feeling the danger coming!
The airtight light of the ax around Daisendari suddenly inspired a stronger brilliance. The next moment, the shadow of the ax disappeared in the sky, and it was like a huge ball of light appeared in the sky. Daisendari waved the ball of light, and suddenly Smashed towards Dugu Shidao.
What a power this is! Can he really achieve this level of cultivation?
Seeing this scene, Sun Long's martial arts heart was shaken.
Of course, this ball of light is not a real ball of light, and the disappearing shadow of the ax does not really disappear, but because it is too fast to be captured by the naked eye, and the generation of the ball of light is due to the internal force being stimulated to the extreme, turning the ax The light is intertwined. At this moment, the attack caused by the light ball has no loopholes.
"The internal strength has reached its extreme, and the Qi movement has begun to mutate. This northern barbarian has touched the barrier of the master!" Zhai Xuanjing, who did not retreat, suddenly whispered. This voice could only be vaguely heard by Sun Long, who was standing beside him.
But Sun Long's eyes were caught tightly by the scene in front of him, and even if he heard the voice in his ear, he couldn't think carefully for a while.
At this time, the fox prince, who was deep in thought, suddenly woke up and looked towards the battlefield.
The ball of light fell down and directly enveloped Dugu Shidao. Dugu Shidao's clothes seemed to be sealed and frozen.
The next moment, the ball of light split into pieces and dissipated in a very short period of time. The eight short axes were almost close to Dugu Shidao's body and deeply embedded in the ground.
Dugu Shidao's arm was raised to the sky, the spear trembled slightly, and there were blood drops dripping from the tip of the spear.
Dai Sendari stood less than three meters in front of Dugu Shidao. There was a blood hole in his chest. Dai Sendari looked at his chest in disbelief, and then he felt a huge black hole. He swallowed it, and the grass on the ground grew bigger and bigger towards him.
thump!
Daisendari faced the ground and collapsed. Behind him, a huge blood hole appeared ferociously, and behind the ground where he stood, a cone-shaped blood mist spray mark appeared conspicuously on the grass.
Wow!
The surrounding Northern Barbarian warriors were in an uproar. They couldn't believe that the famous strong man in the tribe, the ever-victorious God of War, died like this. Several Northern Barbarian warriors turned red in the face and said to Master Dugu angrily. Roaring, but for some reason, he just didn't dare to step forward.
Sun Long returned from his trance. At the last moment, he defended himself and saw the spear in Dugu Shidao's hand come to life, like a snake penetrating a ball of light, and finally stung Dai Sendari's chest. That's right. , is sting!
The tip of the spear was like a snake spitting a message, and the last blow was like a scorpion flicking its tail and stinging someone, extremely fast and fierce!
Sun Long looked at Zhai Xuanjing in confusion: "Uncle!"
Zhai Xuanjing was also distracted for a moment. He sighed and said softly: "I'll explain it later!"
Dugu Shidao remained expressionless. He took back his spear, and it fell into his cuff and disappeared, like magic!
In Sun Long's eyes, this was magic. He began to imagine that this was not a world of low martial arts. He just had too little knowledge and did not see the real magical world.
"Ahem! That's enough, stop making trouble!" Prince Fox suddenly said loudly in Northern Barbarian language. He took a deep look at Master Dugu, and then said to those Northern Barbarian warriors:
"Daisendari himself chose the challenge of life and death. Under the witness of the gods, dying in battle is also glorious. Please stop making trouble!"
Although the Northern Barbarian warriors were still angry, they were suppressed by the Fox Prince. Maybe they also had their own inner fears.
After taking two deep breaths to calm down completely, Prince Fox turned around, looked at Sun Long faintly, and said:
"I will consider your words carefully. As a price, I have a request. At the same time, this request is also exchanged for Dai Sendari's life. I think you will not be stingy!"
This sentence was spoken by Prince Fox in Zhengyang Mandarin. When Sun Long heard this, he split his mouth and said with a smile:
"Can!"
At the same time, the imperial capital thousands of miles south of the Northern Barbarians
Deep in the palace, in the royal study.
Emperor Xuyang stood in front of a huge map that was seven or eight meters high, looking up.
Apart from him in the entire imperial study, the only ones standing not far away were the eunuch and Mi Yusong, the admiral of the Dongchang.
The great eunuch was the eunuch Bingbi who served the emperor personally. In history, his position has always been the pinnacle of eunuchs. Until Mi Yusong appeared.
But the great eunuch didn't have much resentment towards Mi Yusong, or perhaps becoming an eunuch was not his original intention, and his abilities and status were enough to make him disdain the position of great eunuch.
The reason why the other party serves in the palace is just for the simplest reason, that is to protect the emperor!
That's right, to protect the emperor.
Since Emperor Kangyang became the first grandmaster emperor in the history of Zhengyang Kingdom, he created a prosperous age of martial arts, which not only divided the Northern Barbarians into pieces, but also raised Zhengyang's national power to a peak.
But this improvement obviously had sequelae, and these consequences were completely taken over by his successor, Emperor Xuyang.
"Could it be that the force of the Northern Barbarians was really given to them by their gods? If it weren't for that powerful force, my father would have wiped out the Northern Barbarians by that time!"
There was a hint of regret in Emperor Xu Yang's words, but also a hint of worry.
The great eunuch served on one side. He could listen to these words, but he could not participate in the discussion or even think about it. Therefore, he watched his eyes, nose and heart, and emptied himself, leaving only one mind, waiting for the call of Emperor Xuyang at any time. .
Mi Yusong glanced at the north of the map. It was a huge area where the four major tribes of the Northern Barbarians were distributed.
"The bravery of the Northern Barbarians is caused by their climate. In that kind of weather, ordinary people in Zhengyang cannot survive at all. The fact that the Northern Barbarians can survive can also be said to be a blessing from the gods. And to survive in this situation Those who come down will of course be stronger. This is what it means to be born in sorrow and die in happiness."
"There are many ills in the country now, and the overdraft of national power by the previous dynasty has made the current Zhengyang somewhat overwhelmed. And the Northern Barbarians... Haha, my father beat the Northern Barbarians like that at that time. I'm afraid he thought that if they wanted to recover, they needed at least A hundred years, who would have thought that in just thirty years, the Northern Barbarians have recovered and are even better than before!"
Mi Yusong did not comment on Emperor Kangyang's decision. He always believed in focusing on the present and looking to the future.
"Your Majesty, why don't you try to reconcile with the Northern Barbarians and do business?"
"Reconciliation? You have to ask me whether the people of Zhengyang agree. As for trade, you have to ask some gentry families whether they agree!" After Emperor Xuyang finished speaking, he sneered a few times.
Mi Yusong remained unmoved. He continued: "People only care about whether their lives are good or not. As long as they live well, everything is negotiable. As for the gentry, whether they agree or not, why should they care?"
"Okay! How about I order your Dongchang to host this matter and Jin Yiwei to assist in this matter?" Emperor Xuyang turned around suddenly and looked at Mi Yusong with a burning gaze.
Mi Yusong's face did not change at all, and he said: "Your Majesty, these are two things, and they are dealt with in order. You must first reach an agreement with the Northern Barbarians, and then I can follow suit."
Emperor Xuyang frowned, but finally relaxed and smiled. Then he stopped mentioning the topic and said instead: "That guy Shangguan Ba, it's time for him to come back this time!"
Mi Yusong nodded, but said something else: "Xu Zongrang didn't come back this time."
There was a chill in Xu Yang Emperor's eyes. After a long pause, he said, "After Wu Guogong retires, Tuoba Yun Han will be outside and Shangguan Overlord will be inside. Do you think it is feasible?"
Mi Yusong smiled and said, "No problem."
Emperor Xuyang nodded slightly, and finally a smile appeared on his lips, and said: "Shangguan Ba is still too arrogant, otherwise he and Tuoba Yunhan are half the same, so I would be most at ease!"
Mi Yusong shook his head and sighed: "The back house is restless and unable to do things with peace of mind. Your Majesty, this is for his own good."
Emperor Xuyang also sighed, turned around, and continued to look at the map: "The loyalty of Jianghu people is a double-edged sword!"
Mi Yusong smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, don't you have this double-edged sword?"
Emperor Xuyang shook his head: "I am the emperor, and the Tian family is ruthless. Don't you know this?"
Mi Yusong simply replied: "I don't know!"
Emperor Xuyang was choked and didn't speak for a long time.
The great eunuch quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew how to accompany a king like a tiger. However, this situation seemed to be less accurate when the Dongchang admiral was alone with His Majesty.
At this time, he always hoped that he would no longer be a transparent person, but unfortunately he couldn't do it and could only endure it silently.
Mi Yusong glanced at the eunuch who was wiping his sweat, and gave him a gentle smile. The eunuch felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his face froze for a while. It took him a long time to squeeze out a smile.
At this time, Emperor Xuyang spoke again. He pointed to a place on the map and said, "Everything is ready here!"
Mi Yusong's eyes fell on Emperor Xuyang's fingers and said, "Okay, but are you sure you want to do this, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Xuyang took a deep breath and said: "For me, the country is more important than inheritance. It is my job to protect the country. Inheritance is responsible for the royal family. The country is responsible for the people!"
Mi Yusong looked at Emperor Xuyang with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and he said: "Since His Majesty has such determination, I will give my full support!"
Emperor Xuyang laughed and said: "Of course I know, and you will fully support it, but don't tell Shangguan Ba about this yet. With his temper, if he finds out, he may lead people to rush over directly."
Mi Yusong thought about Shangguan Ba's temper and felt that it was indeed the case.
"Hey, the Zhengyang Kingdom has been in Zuo for four hundred years. I don't know if I can put it to death and survive and get back on my feet!" Emperor Xuyang looked at the map and stared in the direction of the person he was pointing.
Mi Yusong was also watching, with complex eyes, looking at the back of Emperor Xuyang, sighing in his heart.
It must be very painful for you to make such a decision. No emperor can do what you do. You will definitely leave a mark in the history books. You are comparable to the Zhengyang Emperor who founded the country and the Wuyang Emperor who restored the country. Great Emperor, I am honored to be able to help you in this process!
Finally, Mi Yusong's eyes fell on the map, looking at the point that was extremely important to him and Emperor Xuyang:
Xuchang!
