Even after decades, the bloody smell that filled the night sky that night is still like a tarsal maggot, left in the minds of countless people. Even if the daily life is ordinary, the occasional midnight dream will return to it. In the meantime, the strong smell still lingers.
There seemed to be a heavy damp smell in the air. Perhaps in the latter half of the night, the humidity became heavier and heavier.
Wen Jirou's hands were trembling a little, but she sneered at the corner of her mouth and said unceremoniously: "It seems that the Holy Lord's secret guards have grown a lot during my absence, but they are all used to deal with me. Isn't it too grand?" Some."
In the second half of the night, it was so quiet that there seemed to be no one around.
The Xuanwei Army surrounding Yunzhong City has become a little agitated. Their peaceful life in the camp has been broken. They have been running here for days to face some unarmed people and they still have no clue. What happened all these years? The peaceful days not only softened Gongsun He's temperament, but also made his soldiers no longer able to endure hardship.
"It's past midnight, nothing will happen, right?"
Sun Tian followed Xiao Yanjing back to Yunzhong City. After seeing Gongsun He, he hurriedly changed into his military uniform and felt that he was on duty at the city tower. Although he didn't know what the Lord would do, he could feel it from his anger that night. , I'm afraid the weather is going to change these days.
The damp smell in the air tonight made him feel unusual, and he couldn't stop pacing back and forth. The soldiers on duty at the side also noticed the irritability on Sun Tian's body, and hurriedly put away their little thoughts.
"Sun Tian."
An old voice sounded from the darkness.
Sun Tian suddenly became alert and quickly turned around to help the person in the dark, but his hands were trembling slightly.
The fire in the brazier on the tower flickered and flickered, licking the rusty and shiny edge of the iron basin, and illuminating the faces of the people on the tower.
The eyes that appeared in the darkness seemed to be getting older these days, but there was a slight anger hidden in them.
The soldiers on night duty turned their heads slightly, bowed their hands and bowed, and then returned to their positions.
Gongsun He only felt angry and angry, he had been tricked.
Ever since the Holy Lord appeared in Yunzhong City, he found that the angina pectoris in his body that seemed to tear him apart had disappeared. At first he couldn't believe it, but as he came to see doctors from all over the country, he found that After a thorough inspection, it was discovered that there was no sign of poisoning at all on his body.
It wasn't until an old doctor from the nearby town took his pulse that he frowned slightly and said, "I'm not very sure, but judging from the general's self-reported illness and current pulse condition, it looks very much like a wild species in our area. Symptoms of the herbal medicine Platycladus orientalis leaf. Platycladus orientalis leaf has hair growth effect. It is mostly used by mothers to treat hair loss after childbirth. However, because it is a substance that is weak and cold, the wild type is more toxic, so the doctor must determine the correct dosage. Otherwise, symptoms such as abdominal pain will occur, and even worse, internal organs may be damaged.”
Gongsun He's face darkened every time the old doctor said a word.
Seeing that he was about to get angry, the deputy general immediately waved the doctors to leave the place quickly.
"General, no more extraneous matters are allowed at this time."
A long silence prevailed.
Gongsun He calmed down. Now that the Holy Emperor is in Yunzhong City, it is really not appropriate for any trouble to happen again. The most important thing at this time is to consider how to get out of this incident.
The weather seems to have changed a bit.
The sky, which was originally as thick as ink, seemed to become a little brighter at this time.
Sun Tian cupped his hands and saluted Gongsun He: "General, there is no movement yet."
Gongsun He looked into the distance and saw the same tranquility as before in the second half of the night.
But his heart was a little uneasy. He always felt that something would happen tonight.
A tiny white spot seemed to appear in the thick distance.
"General, he seems to be a human being."
Sun Tian was still younger after all, and his eyes were sharper. He glanced at the white spot, which seemed to be a person riding a horse.
"Send alert, let's see who is coming?"
The old eyes narrowed into a thin line.
**
There was tension in the air.
Suddenly, a figure of a man in black moved, rushing towards the people surrounded by them like a cheetah, one, two, three...
The men in black rushed forward without hesitation.
The sword light flickered, cutting through the sky like lightning.
The man in the light and shadow reacted quickly, pulling the person beside him back quickly. Another companion waved his sword to meet him at the same time. Everyone's swords sometimes clashed and sometimes avoided. For a moment, it was so chaotic that it was difficult to see clearly. .
Ran Chen has some respite.
He had long since lost his inner strength and was just like a weak scholar. At this moment, being pulled by Wen Jirou to avoid the swords that were thrust at him, he was already a little out of luck.
The Xin Xi Sword in Nan Liluo's hand thrust out like a spiritual snake, drawing beautiful arcs quickly and accurately, killing the man in black who was waiting for an opportunity to pounce.
But there were too many people. They kept changing their movements and positions, using the surrounding trees to hide their figures, as if they were integrated into the dark night.
Xiao Yanjing, who was not far away, frowned a little.
He sensed something was wrong.
He thought that Wen Jirou would at least have a backup plan when she came to see him, but in a scene like this, was she really planning to fight to the death?
