"Why are you acting weird today?" Song Yu frowned, and the sight of Du Anchen in front of him made him a little uneasy. At some point, Xie Nanshi had arrived half a step away from the two of them.
Du Anchen's eyes were confused for a moment, and he regained his clarity after a while. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Song Yu: "Why are you so guarded? Can I still harm you?"
Du Anchen said and slapped the seal of the wine jar in his hand directly: "You and I know that I am a secret guard next to your father. If you want me to hide the owner, you should give me a reasonable reason, right? Just spend money. What are you talking about? I think you are not at ease, so I will report it to the city lord now."
After Du Anchen finished speaking, he was about to leave, but was grabbed by Song Yu: "Hey, hey, it's my fault, ancestor, I'm wrong. I went with the army not just to gain knowledge, not to mention that there is a little Taoist priest accompanying me. What's there to worry about together? Then you can follow my father, too?"
Song Yu said and gave Du Anchen a reassuring smile. The strange thing was that when Song Yu pulled him, Xie Nanshi also followed suit.
Du Anchen was thoughtful and sat firmly on his butt again. Shaocheng's main purpose is to leave Tianyong, and the city lord will definitely order her to follow. But if the young city lord is also in the army, she can secretly accompany the army on the expedition... This is not a good idea.
Song Yu saw Du Anchen's relaxed expression and handed the money to Du Anchen again: "We each take what we need."
Du Anchen did not refuse this time. After accepting the money, he took the pot of wine and disappeared into the night. Just as she was leaving, she glanced at a corner of the darkness. She just seemed to have seen a very familiar bird flying past here.
Forget it, never mind, swords and swords are silent on the battlefield. Since this kid insists on being a soldier on the battlefield, she probably won't have any free time in the future.
"Do you think Du Anchen's reaction tonight is a bit strange?" In order to prevent the elusive Du Anchen from hearing, Song Yu deliberately wasted a transmission note when he spoke.
Xie Nanshi returned to the couch to meditate, and after hearing the words, he hummed, and added after a moment: "I have investigated, she is herself."
It's me... Song Yu relaxed, and as long as it wasn't a White Walker stand-in, changing appearance or other messy things, he didn't care.
Rest.
…
At Chen time, everyone went out to fight, and a group of new soldiers led by Xie Nanshi was placed at the back of the team. Tens of thousands of troops were so densely packed that it was impossible to see the situation ahead from the perspective of the Song Dynasty, but the sound of worshiping the sky could be heard in the distance.
Even though he was hundreds of miles away, Song Chengwei's voice could still be heard clearly: "Bai Zhaowei insulted the five elements, neglected the three righteousnesses, communicated with strange ghosts, and the gods destroyed his life..."
"Let's go!"
As the glasses of wine fell, the three armies came out of Tianyong's main gate and headed all the way to Zouye. It intersected with the Baizhao border and was also the first city attacked by the Baizhao army.
Song Yu has traveled a lot in the game Jian Shen, but this is the first time he has tried to measure the land in the game with his own feet, and he is still marching in a hurry most of the time...
However, Jie Nanshi deliberately asked him to exercise his body and prevent him from using the lightening spell frequently. But...why does he want to exercise in a game?
Also, what about merit? When can he start grinding for prestige? Even though Song Yu is a person who can withstand delayed gratification, now Song Yu is really heartbroken about his previous decision.
If there wasn't a main plot hanging on, Song Yu would have really been able to tear off his mask and escape the camp with Xie Nanshi. Especially now that the speed of time is converging with that of the real world... This made Song Yu feel even more precious about time. After repeatedly emphasizing it to Ye Jiao, he could only say a perfunctory "I will give it a try".
Fortunately, after a while, a group of soldiers and horses approached Zou Ye.
This was originally a fertile land with many people coming and going for business. However, as Song Chengwei became seriously ill and Tianyong gradually declined, the contacts between Bai Zhao and Tianyong also decreased year by year, and they even often harassed border officials. Zou Ye also declined and lost its former prosperity.
This kind of decline is not only reflected in the documents presented to the capital. Song Dynasty never thought that one person's "blackening of the hall" could be concretely reflected in the "dark clouds covering the roof" of a city. After all, the weather system of "Seeing the Gods" does not need to consider factors such as the farming season. The overall weather is mainly sunny. Apart from the intensity of the march, the scenery can be regarded as somewhat beautiful. But approaching Zou Ye, the sky was no longer bright, and there was no trace of the blue sky. It seemed that there was an invisible line dividing Zou Ye and their place into one and the other, and the well-trained military horses also became restless.
Such a horrifying sight forced the team to stop. The superiors ordered "rest and recuperation", but the order could not be suppressed and all the recruits in the battalion began to whisper.
Song Yu didn't take it seriously, and instead began to whisper to Jie Nanshi: "Why do you feel something is not right here?"
"Here you go." Xie Nanshi's answer was concise and to the point.
Song Yu didn't doubt that he was there. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw a golden light in Nan Shi's palm, which penetrated into Song Yu's skin with a light tap. The back of Song Yu's hand seemed to be electrocuted, and burning pain and stinging seemed to be eroding inside, but Jie Nanshi held his hand firmly and prevented him from breaking away.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Soon the burning pain became like a hallucination. Song Yu stared at the back of his hand for a long time, and finally saw a small lotus flower with golden phantom light flowing from a specific angle.
"I'm not afraid that you will harm me, but you can just say it so that I can be mentally prepared." Song Yu had mixed feelings in his heart, "What good thing is this?"
"Nine-petaled lotus." Xie Nanshi rarely said more, "This is a magic weapon refined by Zangfeng. In addition to defense, it also has the ability to warn."
Song Yu suddenly became energetic and kept talking about taking advantage: "Why didn't you give it to me earlier? Do you still think of me as your brother?"
"Such a magic weapon naturally has usage restrictions." Xie Nanshi smiled half-heartedly, but the implication was that the level of the Song Dynasty could not use this magic weapon at all.
Song Yu also understood, and looked at Jie Nanshi with a look that was even scary: "Did you change the original magic weapon or refine a new one? Do you still have this ability?"
"It has been changed, but the effect is greatly reduced compared to the original." Xie Nanshi was obviously not satisfied with the effect, but that was all. Given time, Xie Nanshi was confident that each petal of the nine-petal lotus could offset the fatal injuries suffered by Song Yu. But now the situation was weird, and the future was simply filled with the word "bad". In his opinion, the jade pendant and defensive talismans were not safe, so he had to give the nine-petal lotus to Song Yu in advance.
"If there is danger, it will feel burning." After all, the nine-petal lotus is a magic weapon engraved in the body, which is far more practical than the jade pendant. At least there is no need to worry about losing it.
Song Yu also became serious. If Xie Nanshi can say such words, then Zou Ye's weirdness may be far beyond expectation. What's worse is that now, Song Yu can't look back either emotionally or rationally.
After a short "rest", the general leading this march obviously had an idea. Soon a Shangguan came down to order some people and sent them as scouts to explore the road. Song Yu, as a recruit with good quality, was also selected. Although Xie Nanshi was not selected, everyone was not well-trained at this time, and there were even many people who were confused. Xie Nanshi walked quietly No one stopped me after that step.
"Your mission is very simple. Go explore the road and report back if there is any change!" The officer waved his command flag and ordered to his subordinates.
Song Yu looked at the scout team, which could number sixty or seventy people, speechlessly, knowing that 90% of them were cannon fodder, stand-ins prepared for the scouts who could really bring back the information. As a new recruit, if he didn't have so many charms in his backpack, the jade pendant and the nine-petal lotus given by Jie Nanshi, he would have to be cannon fodder here.
Song Yu was obviously not the first person to think of this. A middle-aged man shouted at the top of his lungs: "Report, dark clouds are covering the front, and the evil spirit is rising just by looking at it."
Shangguan's face suddenly turned green, and he waved his command flag: "If you don't go, our entire army will be wiped out, and what will happen to Tian Yong behind us?"
The scouts immediately fell silent. Not only because these words hit the fundamental reason why they came to join the army, but also because of the effectiveness of the command flag.
Song Yu and Xie Nanshi felt it, but they didn't say anything and even wanted to start their own investigation as soon as possible.
After the orders were issued one by one, the sixty or seventy-person scout group was divided into several small teams. A few of them were clearly guarded by veterans, and they moved very quickly. They formed a formation and disappeared after a short time.
Song Yu hugged Jie Nanshi's thigh tightly, and the two of them quickly and defensively approached Zou Ye. However, except for the dark clouds and the dim city, there are no landmarks, and it is difficult for Song Dynasty to know how to approach. When he came to his senses, he felt that the soldiers' discussions, the friction of their armors, and the snoring of the horses had suddenly disappeared.
Song Yu was startled, and turned his back and could no longer see the sunny sky behind him.
Fortunately, Xie Nanshi and him were not separated. The young swordsman leader looked around, then raised his hand and waved back. The invisible air wall received this blow, and a series of extremely weird lines appeared. The layers of lines were layer upon layer, and the palm of Jie Nanshi was completely dissolved.
"It is the domain of the White Walker King. I am afraid that the entire Zou industry is within the domain now." Xie Nanshi slowly exhaled, feeling very fortunate that he did not rush on his way, but went to Bai Zhao with Song Yu. Otherwise, he would not have passed through Zou Ye, and he would not have known that the huge territory of Zou Ye had been occupied by strange ghosts.
"Can it be broken?"
"It can't be broken."
"This is at least a heaven-level formation arranged by thousands of people. With my own strength..." Xie Nanshi stopped talking and shook his head.
Song Yu gritted his teeth: "Let's go first."
Zou Ye in the field seems to have no other difference except that the weather looks too gloomy. But both Song Yu and Xie Nanshi knew that they would never be able to see the light of day again simply by walking back. After walking only a short distance, the two of them saw a small group of people holding long knives and spears, panicking and alerting them.
