The yellow sand of the desert and the setting sun are like blood.
Geiliu was sleeping lightly. The carriage jolted hard and then stopped. He slowly opened his eyes. Feeling that something was abnormal, he lifted the curtain and looked into the distance.
It was a team of scouts, about two to three hundred people, whose armor shape did not look like the orthodox army of the Dafeng Dynasty. They lined up on the high sand dunes, holding their crossbows high, and faced off against the armored pagoda from a distance.
Before Gui Liu could take a closer look, the sky was filled with arrows and pitch black.
The team of two to three hundred people were all scouts and light cavalry, and their combat power was extremely weak, not to mention facing the best armored heavy cavalry in the world. But this courage to dare to challenge is truly unique in the world.
It should be noted that Dafeng's orthodox army would never act so rashly, only the arrogant rebels today would dare to do so. Guiliu didn't have any good impression of Dafeng Zhengtong, but he had a kind of disgust towards the rebellious ministers and traitors, so the first thought in his mind was to kill this team of scouts here.
The overwhelming rain of arrows had not yet hit the ground. The moment Master Lotus Crown appeared, he stood still for an instant.
With a slight wave of his sleeve robe, a simple gesture of waving, arrows rained down from the sky.
The hundreds of scouts who were originally arranged in an orderly manner on the sand dunes suddenly fell over, and many of them were hit by arrows in their stomachs and backs and rolled down the slope.
Guiliu hesitated and got back into the car.
There is no doubt that this team of scouts are rebels. Just being able to appear here has already explained one problem, that is, in the past few days, Dafeng Orthodoxy has lost most of its mountains and rivers. In short, the confrontation between the north and the south has been broken. The royal family was truly in danger.
If the Da Feng royal family abandons the capital and flees...
Gui Liu frowned slightly, and this expression happened to be seen by Gui Qing who walked in through the curtain.
At this time the carriage moved slowly.
"Is he a scout of the Dafeng rebels?" Gui Qing asked casually.
"It's almost the same. It just surprises me. A team of two to three hundred people is still a light cavalry with no combat capabilities. If it dares to provoke a heavy cavalry with nearly ten thousand troops, isn't it afraid of being slaughtered in this desert? The body of a dog is as bold as that of a tiger, which is ridiculous and overconfident.”
Gui Qing looked at him with her charming eyes and raised her chin, "Okay, the time has come. Let's take off our clothes and see the result."
Guiliu suddenly became nervous. Not only did his hands tremble slightly when he was taking off his clothes, but he also took deep breaths several times.
Revealing an upper body that was neither thin nor muscular, he gritted his teeth and turned around to show his back to Gui Qing after much deliberation, as if he had made some kind of determination.
No pattern appeared on the smooth and white back.
But Gui Qing saw meticulously, even bending down and leaning forward again and again in order to see clearly.
Her bright eyes moved slightly in a regular pattern, as if she was following a certain pattern.
Fascinated by the sight, she gently placed her cold palms on the man's back, ignoring the trembling, and murmured to herself: "Sword pattern..."
"Okay, you can get dressed."
Guiliu quickly put on his clothes, turned to look at her, swallowed, and whispered: "How is it? What is the sword pattern?"
"Find the sword that suits you, and you will become a swordsman."
Gui Qing immediately added: "Same as your confidante."
"Huang Ru and I only have a one-time relationship, so why are we considered a confidante? I want to incriminate her."
Gui Liu was quite helpless, but he didn't think about the true meaning of Gui Qing's words at all. Is mentioning Bai Huizong's genius swordsman just for fun?
"Your qualifications are quite good, so you have to be picky when choosing a sword. There may be thousands of swords that suit you, so be sure to choose the one with the highest quality."
When Gui Qing spoke, he naturally looked at the famous sword "Western Sky".
Guiliu realized it later and asked cautiously: "You mean I can refine this sword secretly?"
Gui Qing sighed and said helplessly: "Others' natal possessions cannot be taken away by force. What I mean is that you must at least look for natal possessions of this quality."
Guiliu was stunned and pointed at himself: "Me?"
"so smart!"
Guiqing poured cold water on her mercilessly, "It's actually very ordinary. Don't be complacent. The same goes for that female swordsman. She's just mediocre. This kind of person can be ranked in the top ten of the younger generation. It's obvious that they are all frogs in the well. .”
Guiliu blinked, what happened to this little girl? As for being so mocking?
After that, the two of them didn't disturb each other. Gui Liu continued to flip through the files and materials that needed to be read, while Gui Qing lay lazily on the table, occasionally tapping the table with his fingers.
With just one glance, he, the elder brother, knew that his sister was craving for wine.
He also knew the nature of his sister, so he said: "Hu Meizi has consumption, and if you drink alcohol, it will be like ruining her body, so you are not allowed to drink alcohol along the way."
Faced with this brother's words that were full of admonishment and warning, Gui Qing did not say anything controversial for the first time. Even Guiliu found it incredible. In the past, this girl would have sneered a few times and then retaliate with sharp words.
But at this moment, Gui Qing just looked at him, her eyes as calm as water, but full of static gentleness and obedience.
Of course, this was not something she did intentionally, but it was Hu Meizi's skin, which was worthy of being the gentle place that all men in the world wanted to have.
The Eight Thousand Armored Pagoda completed its escort mission after passing the sand dune where the group of scouts were standing. The rest of the way would require a group of people to walk, and no one would pick them up until they entered the territory of Dafeng.
Yao Tiao, the princess of Nanzhao, the Taoist priest with lotus crown, and the sword master in green shirt, has been waiting for a long time.
Gui Liu, who was dressed like snow, slowly walked out of the matrix of thousands of people. When he saw a relatively exquisite and petite armored figure at the front of the road, he suddenly stopped and stopped walking.
His lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a word.
The woman who was the coach did not hesitate to turn the horse's head off and turned to leave.
The armored pagodas turned around and began to retreat, quickly receding like a dark tide.
In the blink of an eye, only a few small figures were left on the flat sandy land.
Guiliu took a deep breath, no longer letting tedious thoughts disturb his mind, and said: "Let's go."
It was not an ordinary walk, but the magical power of the Lotus Crown Taoist. After a few steps, he appeared at the most majestic pass in the Dafeng Dynasty.
Due to the high level of alert during the war, several people were quickly stopped and surrounded.
"Didn't you say there would be someone to help you?" Guiliu frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong with the solemn atmosphere at the moment.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his heart, "Look up at the flag on the wall."
Following Gui Qing's gaze, the flag hanging on the city wall was not the flag of the Dafeng royal family at all!
The terrible fact is that Dafeng's most dangerous fortress has fallen.
So it is conceivable that the three military towns behind the fortress have become places where the rebels recharge their batteries.
Taoist Lotus Crown reminded softly: "Your Highness, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time."
In the blink of an eye, a row of archers, numbering over a thousand, appeared on the towering city wall.
Now, not only are these people surrounded, but they are also the target of public criticism.
"Let's leave here first." Guiliu said solemnly.
The first person to take action was neither the Lotus Crown Taoist nor the Qing-shirted Sword Master, but Gui Qing.
A soldier's head was cut off with one stroke of his hand.
Thousands of arrows were fired from the city wall instantly.
Gui Liu subconsciously stood in front of Gui Qing, a wisp of sword energy in his body that he could no longer hold back.
The green-robed sword leader suddenly drew his sword, and in an instant nothing could be seen in the world except the snow-white sword light. Taoist Lotus Crown took this opportunity to use his magical powers.
If someone stood on the sea of clouds and looked down at the earth, they would be able to see this extremely thrilling scene. Dafeng's most towering Guansai city wall was split into a gap a hundred feet wide, and the rocks melted. A huge dent a hundred feet deep appeared in the next three military towns, affecting countless houses and military camps.
This is the full-power sword of the Qing-shirted swordsman. If placed on the battlefield, one sword can break through a thousand armors, which is the level of an enemy of ten thousand people!
Soon, a piece of urgent military information will be sent to the capital overnight and presented to the table used by emperors of all generations to review memorials.
The old dragon chair belonging to the Dafeng royal family has been moved out and burned, and even every brick and tile in the main hall has been replaced.
This means that the country changes hands and the dynasty changes.
Taoist Lotus Crown led everyone to appear thousands of miles away. This place is still under the jurisdiction of the rebels and is a dense forest with moisture.
Once Gui Liu read the Dafeng Shui Jing annotation and learned that the thorn forest at the southern end of Dafeng was full of miasma, hot and humid, and it was difficult for wild animals to survive.
Obviously it is very consistent with the current situation.
Gui Liu cast a helpless look at Taoist Lotus Crown.
"Your Highness, let me rest for a while."
Lotus Crown Taoist's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and most of his clothes seemed to be wet.
The group could only rest here for a while.
Because Gui Qing cut off his head with a hand blade, his right hand was covered in blood, which looked a little oozing, so Gui Liu noticed it easily.
"Why did you take action first just now?"
Guiliu asked, taking out a towel to wipe her hands.
"He touched me with a gun." Gui Qing said concisely.
"That's right, then he really deserves to be killed." Guiliu said with a smile.
Looking around, the Lotus Crown Taoist was resting with his eyes closed, the Sword Master in blue shirt was leaning against the tree with his sword in hand, and Yao Tiao and Princess Nanzhao were chatting with each other.
Dusk is sinking, and darkness will soon fall.
"Are you hungry?" Guiliu asked with concern.
Gui Qing answered the question: "This is the hinterland of the Dafeng rebels, very far away from Qingfen Mountain."
Guiliu hummed, "When I have a pen and paper, I will write a letter and ask Falcon to send it back. Judging from the current situation, Dafeng Capital has most likely been captured by the rebels, so if you want to enter the capital, just We must fight back. Since the Dafeng royal family is so helpless, we can only rely on our Dajing dynasty."
"Must we fulfill our promise?" Gui Qing sneered.
Guiliu shook his head, "It's not easy to like each other, that's why some people set up the ambition to wish all lovers in the world to get married. Princess Nanzhao is a poor woman. She saw the country's capital destroyed with her own eyes, and finally found her sweetheart. Since they like each other, they can There is no reason to separate. This promise must be fulfilled."
Gui Qing said sternly: "So what?! You want to be caught up in the power struggle between two dynasties alone? What qualifications does a person who can't even take care of himself have to care about others?!"
Guiliu looked directly at her who was very angry and said gently: "I know everything."
This sentence made Gui Qing even more angry. She raised her hand and pretended to slap the man in the face.
Guiliu did not hide, and said softly in a serious tone: "I know, not that I agree with you. But I know that the reason why you are angry is because you feel sorry for me."
At this moment, it seemed as if the breeze was frozen.
Guiqing's raised hand did not turn into a crisp sound in the end.
Guiliu was relieved and said with a smile: "You are talking about you, right?"
Snapped!
Guiliu was stunned on the spot, and a medium-sized bright red palm print gradually appeared on his face.
Guiqing squinted her eyes and smiled, "Do you think it's me or not?"
