The roads outside the city were deserted, with almost no people in sight. The merchants who used to travel on this road and the small vendors on the roadside seemed to have disappeared from the world recently.
The dryness of late autumn makes the whole world look dry. The strong wind and yellow sand and dust fill the sky, making it difficult for people to see the lifeless Chang'an...
People didn't even have a chance to open their eyes.
A figure loomed in the dust. It was a little blurry at first, but as the figure slowly got closer, the figure gradually became clearer.
I saw this man holding a long sword in his hand, standing alone in the yellow sand in the sky, looking extremely lonely. Faced with such prohibitive bad weather, this man showed no signs of timidity. He walked steadily towards the imperial city, even though he knew what he was about to face——
Dust and sand filled the sky, and a solitary shadow appeared in it.
When I ask where you are going, raise your sword towards the abyss of heaven!
——
'The nobles in Chang'an City rebelled and surrounded Tai Chi Palace! At this time, both Yingping and his senior brother were trapped in the palace! I heard that those gangsters threatened to take the life of Second Senior Brother! '
This was the first thing the junior brother said when he saw him yesterday - Ye Changshan ran back to the mountains in a hurry yesterday, and everyone was still a little confused as to why the junior brother went out and then came back.
'The Twelve Guards are now controlled by the Wang family brothers and sisters! All city gates have been closed, no entry or exit is allowed for three days! '
This was the second sentence the junior brother said. If the first sentence just made him feel a little troublesome, then the second sentence made him feel the seriousness of the situation. When he heard this sentence, he was always calm. He couldn't sit still even though he was so comfortable, he immediately dropped the bowl and chopsticks and stood up.
'Third senior brother! Think of a way! How can we rescue the second senior brother and Yingping! '
Ye Changshan said this sentence almost in a tearful tone, his anxiety and helplessness evident in his expression.
Zichun and Cheng Daliang were extremely anxious after hearing this, and even Mengulu Qilang looked at him nervously. Then he fell into deep thought and looked out the window without saying a word.
Chang'an is the first ancient capital in the Central Plains. The ravines are so deep and the city walls are so high that it cannot be crossed by human power. Now that the twelve guards of the Forbidden Army have firmly guarded the city gate, it is naturally impossible to enter. The second senior brother and Yingping are now in a desperate situation. What should we do to help them? This was indeed like an unsolvable problem. Although he was resourceful and resourceful, he was frowning and could not figure out any clue at the moment.
'Third Senior Brother——'
This 'Third Senior Brother' was not called by Ye Changshan, but by Qi Lang. Although Qilang is not good at talking and laughing, his brotherly love is genuine. When Wen Junchen is in danger, he is naturally very anxious in his heart.
'Qilang, let Third Senior Brother think about it and don't disturb him'
The person who knew him best was Zichun. Seeing his third senior brother frowning and staring into the distance without saying a word, Zichun knew clearly that he must be racking his brains for ideas.
...
a long time.
'The city wall of Chang'an is more than four feet high, and the trench is about one foot deep'
This was the first sentence he spoke. When he said this, everyone's eyes lit up at first, and then the light gradually dimmed, replaced by confusion and doubt.
Before anyone could ask questions, he continued -
'Without heavy siege weapons, thinking about crossing the sky and the abyss is like an idiot's dream. '
'Then - what should we do! '
Ye Changshan's tone became more and more anxious. In the past few years, he had often competed with his junior brother, and he had become very familiar with the breath of heaven and earth in his body. At this moment, he could clearly feel that the breath of heaven and earth was surging.
'Don't panic'
He raised his hand and put his palm on his junior brother's shoulder to signal him to stabilize his mind first, and then continued: "Since 'Tian Yuan' cannot be crossed, then let's cross the people guarding 'Tian Yuan'." '
Everyone looked at him in confusion, still not understanding the meaning of his words.
'If I stand under the city and point out a target for you, how sure are you that you can hit him? '
'A giant crossbow? '
Ye Changshan blurted out, and he felt a little incredible, and even felt a sense of absurdity.
This...is he going to shoot Ning Qiu Luan directly? The always gentle and gentle Third Brother turned out to be more direct in solving problems than himself at the critical moment.
'But we only have a few arrows. Even if we kill Ning Qiu Luan, we can't kill all the twelve guards. 'Ye Changshan is still worried.
'As long as they don't know what is true and what is true, what's more, what we want is just to scare the tigers and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. '
Ye Changshan nodded repeatedly, seeming to agree with this suggestion.
Bluffing is indeed a good way. The junior brother is a royal guard, and protecting the safety of the emperor is his first duty. Even if he kills some people for this, it is not a big deal. What they have to do at this time is to kill the leaders of the twelve guards. Get rid of them as soon as possible to scare the other guards - and the brother and sister who are hiding behind them and controlling everything.
'Try it! '
Just give it a try! The two of them did not do too much unnecessary analysis. After a few brief explanations, he embarked on his journey to Chang'an alone.
While thinking, Ji Yangyu stopped moving forward.
He raised his head and looked at the tall and insurmountable city wall, stimulating all the breath of heaven and earth in his body——
At this moment, he showed and bloomed himself without reservation, just like a tiger coming to the territory of a pack of wolves, knowing that the people on the other side were extremely vicious but still roaring - just to attract the attention of the wolf!
...
...
Ning Qiu Luan stood in the main building of the city wall and patrolled back and forth, like a giant wolf guarding the territory. Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly as if he felt something. His men were talking and laughing. Now he saw the commander's face sinking, as if facing a formidable enemy. Although he did not understand the situation, he became alert.
Ning Qiu Luan stood up and looked at the yellow sand in the sky outside the building. His expression gradually became serious - there is a strong person!
Tianji's strong man's intuition told him accurately.
Although Ye Changshan was also a strong man yesterday, he looked at him like a calf. He didn't even look at him directly, but at this moment, he felt that his territory was really threatened by others.
Ning Qiu Luan opened the door with a knife, and strong wind and sand poured in, but his eyes did not even blink.
Under the yellow sand, a figure stands like a statue. No matter how strong the wind is and how noisy the dust is, it cannot shake him in the slightest.
The distance of several feet made it impossible for him to see clearly the person standing under the city for a while, but through the hazy yellow sand and dust, he could clearly feel the breath of heaven and earth - the breath of heaven and earth. He has been too skillful in retracting and releasing, and has been too refined in practice. At this moment, he is suddenly stuck in the city, as if it is a naked demonstration.
Ning Qiu Luan felt that this breath of heaven and earth was very unusual, like a pot of fragrant old wine - no, to be precise, it should be a tank, a pool or even a lake! If the first feeling of this breath of heaven and earth is that of 'perfection', then when he feels it further, the feeling of this breath of heaven and earth is how vast it is. This 'vastness' is the same as what Ye Changshan gave him yesterday. His sense of vastness is very different. This "vastness" is so calm and profound that you can't see the specific depth. I'm afraid that when you feel that moment, you will face the waves crashing on the shore, It's a bottomless whirlpool, a giant alien beast lurking at the bottom of the dark water...
The wind is rustling, the dust is floating, and there is no sound except the howling wind at this moment...
The two were just looking at each other, even though they couldn't see each other's face clearly at this time. At the same time, they both chose silence in a very tacit understanding and did not say anything, but quietly felt each other.
Ning Qiu Luan has never felt like this before. Even though the opponent's breath of heaven and earth is full of murderous intent, this murderous intent is so soft and calm. It is different from the murderous intent that he has felt in all the battles he has experienced before. They are all different - there is a thunder in the chest and a flat lake in the face, that is exactly what it is.
Just when Ning Qiu Luan was quietly feeling the killing intent, he suddenly noticed that the person standing under the city had moved, and Ning Qiu Luan instinctively tightened the knife at his waist.
But just a moment later, the man's movements stopped again——
There was no leap, no flying sword, and the man didn't even move.
Ning Qiu Luan's hand was still holding the handle of the knife tightly and did not dare to let go. Although he also believed that it was impossible for a person to leap onto the city wall just by relying on his own cultivation, but facing the man below the city, he could not do anything. Don't dare to be careless.
The wind had no intention of stopping, and sand, stones, and fallen leaves were flying wildly under the strong wind. Like a crowd watching the excitement, they surrounded the two people who were about to have a life-and-death struggle. Shouts and cheers came from all directions. Come......
"Mr. Three——" Ning Qiu Luan took the lead to break the silence between the two of them and shouted to the city: "I came here unexpectedly. What are you doing?"
"..."
There was still silence in the city.
Ning Qiu Luan frowned slightly, and at the same time he was quickly calculating in his mind - if he didn't open the door to let him go, even if he was reincarnated, he might not be able to get past this door... And Ji Yang and Ji Yang below the city, although their cultivation levels were very high, but But it's just Tianji... Moreover, Ji Yang is known as both civil and military, so he must know what this city wall represents, but he always stands there quietly without speaking or leaving... What on earth does he want... …
snort! If you let yourself be strong, what should I fear?
Ning Qiu Luan's patience was gradually worn away, and his mood gradually became a little impatient.
Just when he was about to shout out to shout away Ji Yang and Ji Yang, suddenly a sound of clashing sword blades and scabbards cut through the whistling wind and spread to the city wall, to Ning Qiu Luan's ears, and to each of the defenders. in the ears.
Ning Qiu Luan's expression changed again. At this time, he was staring at every move under the city. He clearly felt Ji Yang pull out the sword in his hand and hold it high above his head, and then pointed it straight at him——
But right after this action, Ji Yang and Bian no longer made any further attacks.
At the moment Ning Qiu Luan hesitated, the breath of heaven and earth emanating from Ji Yanghe's body instantly gathered on the edge of his sword. It was not only his own breath of heaven and earth, but also the breath of heaven and earth from the surrounding vegetation and wild sand. They were all frantically gathering towards the sharp blade, and for a moment it seemed as if the surrounding strong winds were being controlled by him, and they would buck the trend with just one command.
'Zheng——'
Ning Qiu Luan pulled out the knife from his waist - this was his instinctive move. Although he didn't know why he should be wary of a person who did not pose the slightest threat to him, the strong was still the strong, even in the face of this It is impossible to still choose tit for tat.
'Zheng——'
'Zheng——'
'Zheng——'
Ning Qiu Luan's subordinates also chose to draw their swords against the enemy - it had been a long time since they had seen Commander Ning draw his sword to face the enemy, and they felt inexplicably nervous.
The passage of time seems to have stopped at this moment, which is in sharp contrast with the strong wind rushing in the sky.
Ning Qiu Luan felt this strange atmosphere. He was clearly the one with the right time, location and people, so why did he feel an indescribable vigilance towards the lonely figure under the city? Just because the other party is the famous Mr. Third from a poor family? No, Ji Yang and He are definitely not mystical people. There must be a purpose for coming here alone!
Since he couldn't 'see through' with his eyes, he didn't want to see it. Ning Qiu Luan simply closed his eyes and felt everything with his ears, nose and even skin and hair.
The strong wind brought sand grains and beat mercilessly against Ning Qiu Luan's dry skin and dirty beard and hair. The turbid air was mixed with the smell of earth. Apart from the whistling wind, it seemed that no other sound could be heard... .
