The moment Yue Linglong said the word "old friend", Zheng Xiu heard a "stretch" sound in his head, as if something exploded.
Old friend?
Old friend?
Are you talking about old friends?
It wasn't all because of anger, but the feeling that something that I had always believed in was completely denied by Yue Linglong's words.
The orange cat took the opportunity to stretch out its paws and lay on Zheng Xiu's back, breathing greedily. The hair all over its body was fluttering in the wind, making it look particularly enchanting.
The Red King grabbed Yue Linglong by the neck with one hand and lifted her up. Yue Linglong's face turned purple and her legs were struggling and kicking wildly in the air.
Yue Linglong's already fair face turned horribly white under the lack of oxygen. She was seen desperately slapping the Red King's arm with both hands, but in the face of the Red King's power, her strength was like a mantis' arms worthless as a chariot, and her struggle gradually weakened.
Zheng Xiu roared in a low voice and repeated the same sentence: "Do you think this king will believe it?"
"Do you think this king will believe it?!"
As Zheng Xiu exerted his strength, the others felt the pain in their hearts. The terrible and invisible pressure came from behind Zheng Xiu, and the knees of the others were bent little by little, making a crunching sound.
Not everyone can face Chang An without changing their expression. Even if what Zheng Xiu opened in his anger was only the interface between Chang An and Chang Shi, the same was true for his Bund.
As Zheng Xiu opened the Bund more and more times, he was now able to tear Chang Shi open with just a thought, and foul air leaked out from the crack, as if the barrier between the two was getting weaker and weaker.
"build."
Feng Bei spoke softly, causing the bloodshot eyes in Zheng Xiu's eyes to recede like a tide.
He snorted coldly and threw Yue Linglong on the snow.
"She didn't lie."
Feng Bei's words were like the spring breeze on the willow bank. With just one word, he gently blew away the anger in Zheng Xiu's heart.
"She didn't lie?"
Zheng Xiu asked back.
Feng Bei was silent and nodded.
Zheng Xiu suddenly smiled: "That means his father lied to her."
Yue Linglong stood up silently, patted the snow off her body, lowered her head and wrapped her cloak again.
Zheng Xiu looked like nothing happened and patted his head: "Look at my memory."
He took out the artist's trick, drew a pair of small wings for himself, stuck them on his back, and soared into the sky in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
After a while, when Zheng Xiu fell from the sky again, there was a ragged "savage" in his hand with a sloppy beard and curly hair.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gu Qiutang."
It turned out that the person Zheng Xiu brought down from the top of the mountain was Gu Qiutang. When he transformed into the "Abyss Walker", he made so much noise that Gu Qiutang was stunned to not move. This guy has some real skills.
Gu Qiutang looked confused as he looked at the two distinct groups in front of him, the Shenwu Army and the Barbarians.
Zheng Xiu handed the ancient map he copied in advance, with the route drawn on it, into the monk's hands and whispered.
"The little monk will never disappoint the elder brother."
The monk agreed.
The march was on again.
The monk stayed where he was and said goodbye with tears.
"Red King, why did you leave your brother behind?"
Huo Luo was puzzled and went deep into the snowfield. When he couldn't see the monk's figure, he couldn't help but ask.
"He has other tasks, the tasks of the Disaster Prevention Bureau."
Zheng Xiu excused himself by saying "Disaster Prevention Bureau", while tinkering with the Red King Mirror with his head lowered, he silently opened the monk's call permissions.
It has been a long time since the monk got Chang Shihua, but for a while someone in the bureau complained that "Hua Zhu" would randomly select lucky people to send harassing messages in the middle of the night.
Sometimes it's a few ups and downs of waves.
Sometimes it’s a childlike giggle.
Sometimes it’s a vulgar rant.
Sometimes it’s a gentle laughter.
It's scary in the middle of the night.
However, Huajia has high authority, and most Akatsuki members cannot refuse.
This makes many people feel uncomfortable and on tenterhooks in the middle of the night.
Zheng Xiu knew that it was probably because the monk "fell ill" in the middle of the night, so he could only ban the monk for a while.
Feng Bei knew Zheng Xiu’s plan.
From that day on, Zheng Xiu never said a single word to Yue Linglong.
One month later.
Zun'an thirty-four years, February 11th.
The group of people has entered the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians.
The route they took was different from the route General Zheng used to invade the Northern Barbarians.
A towering solitary peak came into view.
That is the sacred mountain of the barbarians, Mount Bagnamo.
Under the blue and clear sky, thin cotton-like clouds seemed to be within reach, rolling low.
A lake as calm as a mirror, like a huge sapphire, reflects the blue of the sky on the water.
"finally reached."
Zheng Xiu's eyes were calm, looking at the holy mountain where the great celestial witch was said to live, thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty."
Huo Huo walked to Zheng Xiu's side in a few steps, looking tired. He looked back at the princess of the Man Kingdom who had been tortured a lot, and said in a low voice to Zheng Xiu: "When you meet the Wolf King, please ask the prince... to put the overall situation first."
"What's the overall situation?" Zheng Xiu raised his eyebrows: "I never know the overall situation."
Huo Huo smiled bitterly.
Ever since Zheng Xiu subconsciously turned on Chang An in extreme anger, the terrible and invisible pressure overwhelmed Huo Huo and Shen Shizong. Although they didn't know what Zheng Xiu had done, this matter made them appreciate it. After experiencing that feeling called "horror", Huo Huo now felt a little more cautious when talking to Zheng Xiu.
"Our purpose for this trip is, firstly, to take advantage of the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Northern Barbarians to go deep into the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians, reach the Holy Mountain, and confirm the life and death of the Great Heavenly Witch; secondly, to capture Bai Qiuyue alive."
Huo Huo said helplessly: "We are not familiar with the Northern Barbarians. If we want to find someone in the vast wilderness, we can only rely on the Wolf King's local connections and methods."
Zheng Xiu took a handful of cold lake water, poured it on his face, wiped it with his hand, and exhaled a puff of white mist.
Not far away, the orange cat was happily swimming and peeing in the lake.
The orange cat looked at his paw, raised it high, and patted it gently.
Plop~
The bottom of the lake shook, and a group of bubbles came out, as if someone had farted tons in the lake.
Hundreds of fish surface with white bellies.
For a while, the soldiers rushed to the lake to catch fish for extra meals tonight.
…
"I know this."
Zheng Xiu looked away from the playing orange cat, smiled slightly, and turned back to point at the hundred-man army: "But I'm afraid things won't go as you and I want."
Along the way, they were intercepted and killed by the other nine clans.
In order to ensure the purity of the team, Zheng Xiu later ordered all of Yue Linglong's followers to be killed, so that even if Zheng Xiu did not look at Yue Linglong, he could still detect the girl's resistance and resentment from her dodging body.
As the moon witch of the Moon Clan, Semba is familiar with the geography of the Northern Barbarians and would be useful if he stayed there.
The remaining barbarians were suspected of wasting food.
Hunger, severe cold, assassinations, and blizzards, Zheng Xiu finally experienced firsthand the poverty and cruelty of life in the wilderness.
The barbarians who can survive in such an environment are not cowards. Those who come to intercept and kill the bride-to-be team are all dead warriors from all races. They always appear to be dead together, forcing the bride-to-be team to change their route several times. , just to avoid the opponent's interception.
The two-hundred-person send-off team was severely damaged due to various reasons, and now there are only a hundred people left.
Nearly a hundred officers and soldiers were buried in foreign lands.
The surviving soldiers were exhausted after walking for a month.
They were intercepted and killed several times. If Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu hadn't taken action, their casualties might have been even worse.
The reason why they felt that the barbarians were troublesome was because they were a little acclimatized.
The barbarians' magical skills were unique, close to nature, or as ferocious as beasts. They took advantage of the right time and place, making Daqian soldiers miserable.
They could not imagine how General Zheng pushed all the way into the hinterland more than 20 years ago.
No, more than 20 years ago it was still the cold weapon era, and there were not so many fancy magic tricks.
"Brothers, let's eat and drink well and wash up. We have worked hard all the way. In the end, we must not weaken our strong momentum. Even our steps must be like the Shenwu Army!"
Shen Shizong personally killed the fish and made soup, and did not forget to encourage his brothers.
"Huh?"
Zheng Xiu shaved his beard with an antique knife. He was slightly startled when he raised his head, and then waved to Semba, who was standing with Yue Linglong: "Old man Sen, your clan seems to be on fire."
Samba shook his head and put on a smile: "Your Majesty, you are joking. We are at the foot of a holy mountain and are protected by a great celestial witch. Besides, it is the headquarters of the Moon Clan. How can we just burn it?"
Ten seconds later.
Samba rode towards the smoke.
"It's over, it's over! The Moon Clan is really on fire!"
"Grandpa Samba!"
Yue Linglong couldn't care about anything else at the moment and rushed out on horseback, following closely behind.
"problem occurs!"
The wedding party of a hundred people walked along the edge of the lake, not caring about cleaning up the pots and dishes, and launched a charge towards Bagnamo Mountain.
A few miles away, in the blink of an eye, a group of thatched houses were built against the mountain, gathering into tribes.
At this moment, panic shouts, clashes of weapons, and shouts of killing were heard from the tribe. High-pitched wolf howls were heard one after another in the tribe.
"It's the Wolf Cavalry of the Beast Clan!"
Samba identified the intruder from the howling of the wolf before he even entered the clan.
The barbarian of the Beast Clan is thin and thin, with ferocious totems painted on his naked upper body. He rides on a strong male wolf, bends his bow and shoots rockets.
"Oops! It's daytime!"
Semba's expression changed. The Moon Clan could only be "protected" when they saw the moon at night. The barbarians of the Moon Clan had always been good at attacking but not good at defending. No one expected that the Beast Clan would make a complete choice at this time. I broke my skin and turned against you.
"superior!"
Zheng Xiu waved his hand.
Huo Huo also shouted: "Come on!"
At this time, Shen Shizong just shook the reins and was stunned: "Wait a minute, who shall we fight?"
Huo Huo looked at Zheng Xiu. Zheng Xiu said nothing. Huo Huo gritted his teeth and said, "Help the Wolf King first! The overall situation is more important!"
"It's Da Ganren!"
The bride-to-be team entered the tribe and soon attracted the attention of both parties.
After a moment of astonishment, both the barbarians from the Beast Clan and the Moon Clan cast vicious glances at Da Gan.
"It's the prince-in-law! It's Daqian's prince-son-in-law!"
"They are the help invited by the Wolf King!"
"He's here to help us!"
Semba was afraid that the tribe would anger the Red King, so he rushed into the tribe on horseback and explained the identity of the visitor in barbarian language.
The Wolf King's decision to let Yue Linglong and Da Gan get married did not even get the approval of the rest of the clan.
Qing Shisan was smoking a cigarette, filled with smoke.
Pei Gaoya took the lead and kicked the wolf cavalry off the wolf's back one by one. He pressed the wolf cavalry on the ground and continued to blast the hammer. In the blink of an eye, one of the wolf cavalry was hammered by Pei Gaoya and was reduced to a human shape. His body was covered with bruises and he was dying.
"nausea!"
After Pei Gaoya finished his output for a while, he suddenly realized that what he had just killed was a barbarian woman. But this woman's naked upper body, her chest was flat, and there were only two scars as big as the mouth of a bowl, which were left after the organs were dug out with a knife. Pei Gaoya looked disgusted and thought, what about this woman from the clan of beasts? Can you be so cruel that the children don’t have to eat or drink?
"Don't use the knife..."
Gu Qiutang jumped down from a high place, slowly pulled out the long knife, and pointed the tip of the knife towards the ground.
The scene fell into chaos, and several wolf cavalry charged at Gu Qiutang dressed as a savage.
"flow."
Gu Qiutang had a smile on his face, and the sword light passed by like a curved stream beside several people. Several heads flew high, and blood spurted out.
"Over there! They are besieging the Wolf King's residence!"
Samba pointed anxiously in a direction where the smoke was thickest.
"Walk!"
Hearing the Wolf King, Zheng Xiu's eyes flashed, and he led Feng Bei up and down on the roof several times, running towards that place with agile movements.
Feng Bei had noticed before that Zheng Xiu could perform the [Prisoner] magic to a certain extent even when he didn't draw the cell. Seeing Zheng Xiu's wrists covered in blood again, Feng Bei asked curiously: "How did you do it?"
Zheng Xiu smiled and showed his wrists, and a pair of shackles were painted on them in advance like body painting.
Now the shackles take shape and the chains stretch and drag.
"Exile form, a weakened version of the 'prisoner', is more convenient."
After Zheng Xiu explained, Feng Bei suddenly understood and secretly admired Zheng Xiu in his heart.
This guy is like this, his ideas are wild and unconstrained, and there are always new tricks emerging. The cannibal paintings had a profound impact on Zheng Xiu. The ability to be a painter was in Zheng Xiu's hands, and it was really a trick.
The Wolf King's Residence is a small building with its back embedded in the wall of Bagnamo Mountain and three sides facing outward.
Hundreds of wolf cavalry were roaming in the spacious square in front of the Wolf King's Palace, constantly shooting rockets towards the Wolf King's Palace.
The Wolf King was in the front, and there were more than a dozen warriors of the Moon Clan with tattoos of the moon and wolf heads on their bodies, holding simple shields in their hands, struggling to block the wolf-riding rockets.
In the square, corpses were spread all over the ground. There were corpses of Wolf Cavalry and members of the Moon Clan. Among them were old people, children, young adults, and Zheng Xiu even saw a pregnant woman who was ten months pregnant.
When Feng Bei saw this, he could not bear it and was angry. He was about to take off his gloves and prepare to kill the wolf cavalry in the square.
"slow."
Zheng Xiu, however, focused his gaze and looked aside.
"ah--"
Yue Linglong's eyes were red, and she let out a shrill scream. On the horseback, she saw Yue Linglong quickly pulling out her hair, flipping her right palm over, and holding a row of long needles between her ten fingers.
call out!
Yue Linglong completed the act of threading the needle in the blink of an eye. Dozens of long needles spurted out and fell into the body of the corpse in the square.
Whether they were those with broken arms, legs, heads, or those who were burned into mummies, after Yue Linglong's long needle penetrated the body, they stood up tremblingly, with black tendons all over their bodies bulging, and there was a faint black mist in their mouths. Squirting out, his eyes turned white, and his appearance was extremely terrifying.
The corpse comes alive.
"It's...Princess Linglong!"
Within a moment, hundreds of corpses in the square stood up again and pounced on the Wolf Cavalry. The Wolf Cavalry's expression changed drastically. He did not see Yue Linglong, but also recognized the miraculous skills of the "Corpse Sewer", and was horrified.
