When the sky was dark, Xia Yang walked into the main tent through the morning dew.
He stood at the door, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then coughed lightly.
"General Luo, are you there?" he asked softly.
There was a slight noise in the main tent, and then Luo Jinyu's voice sounded, "Wait a minute, I'll be here right away."
After a while, Luo Jinyu walked out of the tent. His face was still a little sleepy, but when he saw Xia Yang, he suddenly woke up.
"General Xia, what's wrong so early?" Luo Jinyu asked, with some doubts in his eyes.
Xia Yang took a deep breath and said, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
Luo Jinyu glanced at Shu Zhihan in the main tent. She was sleeping quietly, her hair scattered on the pillow, and the sunlight shining on her face, adding a bit of softness to her.
He gently closed the curtain, turned to Xia Yang and said, "Let's go and talk outside."
The two walked out of the camp, Xia Yang took a deep breath of the morning air, and the outline of the mountains in the distance gradually became clear in the morning light.
He turned to look at Luo Jinyu. The general's eyes were firm and deep, and he seemed to be able to see through everything.
A complex emotion surged in Xia Yang's heart. He took a deep breath and prepared to reveal his plan.
Xia Yang looked at Luo Jinyu with firm eyes, "Those people outside the camp are all members of the Holy Sage. I think their goal is actually very simple, just to bring Shu Zhihan back alive."
A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Jinyu's eyes. He looked at Xia Yang, as if waiting for his explanation.
Xia Yang took a deep breath, "What they want is nothing more than Shu Zhihan. As long as we can protect her, those people outside will not attack us."
Luo Jinyu was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about Xia Yang's words. ..
Luo Jinyu looked at him and asked him subconsciously: "Why is this? What does the Holy One want to do?"
Xia Yang was silent for a moment. He seemed to be looking for the right words, "I suspect that the Holy One already knows that mother has left the water palace, so now he wants Shu Zhihan to replace his mother and guard the water palace."
A trace of surprise flashed in Luo Jinyu's eyes, "What is the use of that water palace?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy. The two of them stood outside the camp, with the mountains in the distance looming in the morning light.
Xia Yang was silent for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and then said slowly: "Only if the Water Palace exists, the Holy One can be immortal."
His voice was low and powerful, as if every word was filled with heavy weight.
Luo Jinyu looked at him with confusion and shock in his eyes.
Xia Yang took a deep breath, as if to give himself courage, "There is a mysterious spring in the Water Palace, which is said to have endless life. The Holy One once spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build the Water Palace, just to protect this spring. Now my mother has left the Water Palace. , the Holy One wants Shu Zhihan to replace her, guard this spring, and ensure his eternal life." There was a hint of helplessness and pain in his voice.
"If you want to guard that spring, not just ordinary people can do it, right?" Luo Jinyu asked coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Xia Yang said softly: "Yes." There was a tremor in his voice, and the look in his eyes was complicated, as if he was thinking about the possibilities of the future.
Luo Jinyu looked at him without saying a word, but there was determination in his eyes.
He knew that everything Xia Yang said would require them to pay a huge price.
Everything in the distance looks so misty, as if telling the confusion of the road ahead.
Xia Yang took a deep breath and told everything.
He described his mother's departure, the emperor's ambition, and the mysterious spring in the water palace. His words were like a mantra, echoing in the morning air.
He described the majesty of the water palace, the mystery of the spring, and the saint's desire for eternal life.
Every detail seemed to flash before his eyes, every emotion seemed to stir in his heart.
As Luo Jinyu listened, his eyes became deeper and deeper. he
I saw the pain and helplessness in Xia Yang's eyes, and also saw the difficulties and challenges in the future. He knew that all this would require them to pay a huge price.
The mountains in the distance loomed in the morning light, as if foreshadowing the difficulties ahead.
But Luo Jinyu did not flinch, there was only firmness and determination in his eyes. Because he knew that he could only protect Shu Zhihan.
"Then can you tell me what's going on between you and Lu He?"
Xia Yang sat on the ground, took a deep breath, and smiled bitterly.
He closed his eyes, as if he was remembering something, and as if he was escaping from something.
After a long time, he spoke slowly, his voice trembling slightly, "Lu He and I grew up together in the Water Palace and experienced ups and downs together.
At that time, we thought we would stay with our mother for the rest of our lives. However, when we grew up a little, the Holy Spirit took us out. In order to control us, he forced our mother to stay in the Water Palace willingly. We are forced to take medicine, so we are not candidates for the guardians of the Water Palace. "
There was a hint of pain and helplessness in his voice.
Luo Jinyu listened, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, and he was a little upset for a moment.
Xia Yang continued to speak, his voice seemed to come from deep in his heart, "It was precisely because my mother was still guarding the water palace at the beginning that the Holy One asked Shu Zhihan to leave. It is also from this incident that we can see , he understands your feelings for Shu Zhihan, and it is precisely because of this that he has one more handle to hold on to you.
He thought that his mother could take his place, protect the spring, and ensure his eternal life. However, he was wrong. "
A trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes, "My mother left the Water Palace, and the Holy Spirit lost the person who guarded the spring. Now, he wants Shu Zhihan to replace my mother, just because neither Lu He nor I are suitable candidates."
Luo Jinyu listened, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He saw the pain and helplessness in Xia Yang's eyes, and realized that the road ahead would be very difficult.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke the morning tranquility.
Xia Yang and Luo Jinyu quickly got up from the ground, their eyes full of vigilance.
The sound came from the direction of the gate of the camp, and they quickly rushed in the direction of the sound.
Luo Jinyu and the others quickly gathered the soldiers. He stood on the high platform and saw that the number of people outside the camp had increased several times.
Their enemies are a group of assassins dressed in black, with black masks on their faces, making it impossible to see their true faces.
These assassins are agile and strong, and they have obviously undergone rigorous training.
Luo Jinyu's heart tightened. He knew that the target of these assassins was Shu Zhihan. He quickly issued an order to get the soldiers ready for battle.
The camp in the morning light instantly became tense, with the soldiers holding weapons and standing ready.
The assassins also began to attack. Their goal was clear, which was to break through the camp's defense line. Luo Jinyu's eyes were firm. He knew that this was a difficult battle, but they could not retreat.
Luo Jinyu didn't panic at all. He sent a signal into the air, signaling Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu to come over for support.
His eyes were firm, and he knew very well that only the three brothers could resist the attacks of these assassins if they worked together.
Soon after, Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu arrived at the camp. They saw the scene in front of them and knew very well that this was a tough battle.
But they did not back down because they knew that this was to protect the most important person to them.
They quickly joined the battle, and with their strong skills, they were soon fighting fiercely with the assassins.
The camp suddenly became more chaotic in the morning light, but Luo Jinyu and the others did not flinch, and they held on to the defense line.
The Meng brothers and their men were fighting with the group of people outside the camp. Their skills were strong, and they were soon fighting fiercely with the assassins.
And Luo Jinyu and Xia Yang are
They were well prepared in the camp, knowing that the next battle would be even more difficult.
Xia Yang's eyes were full of firmness and determination, and the sword in his hand shone with cold light.
Luo Jinyu, on the other hand, was dressed in military uniform, and his eyes were full of determination and courage.
They stood at the entrance of the camp, waiting for the arrival of the assassins.
The camp instantly became more solemn in the morning light, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The assassins began to rush towards the camp, with a clear goal of capturing Shu Zhihan.
However, they didn't know that they were facing a group of fearless warriors.
Luo Jinyu and Xia Yang rushed out first, their swords cutting through the air and making a harsh sound.
They brandished their swords and fought fiercely with the assassins. Their skills were strong and they quickly repelled several assassins.
However, there were too many assassins, and they kept rushing forward, overwhelming Luo Jinyu and Xia Yang. Xia Yang's body had suffered many injuries, but he did not flinch, and the long sword in his hand was still waving.
The same goes for Luo Jinyu. His eyes are firm and the sword in his hand is flying in the air like a silver dragon.
They fought fiercely with the assassins for a long time and finally drove them back. However, they know that this is not the end, and they must be prepared for the worse. Read the book
They didn't expect that they could repel that group of people so easily.
Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu hurriedly came to Luo Jinyu's side and asked about the situation.
"General, what happened to those assassins?" Meng Haowen asked.
Luo Jinyu didn't speak, just shook his head gently. He knew in his heart that the assassins had not been completely repelled, they had only temporarily retreated, waiting for more accomplices to arrive.
"We must be prepared for the worse. They retreated so easily, so it must not be that simple." Luo Jinyu said in a deep voice.
Meng Haowu also nodded, knowing that Luo Jinyu was right. They must be prepared for the worse, because the next battle will be more difficult.
