At this time, in the general's palace deep in the Black Blood City barracks, a middle-aged man wearing a black dragon suit and a face as resolute as a knife was walking back and forth in the main hall, with unnoticeable worry flashing in his eyes from time to time. , and the two jade beads in his hands were constantly being fiddled with.
There was a crisp sound, and the jade bead in the man's hand was crushed.
"Why haven't you come back yet? I don't know if the rescue can catch up." The man's mind was in a mess.
"General, the lady is back!"
As a soldier enters. The man immediately possessed the shadow of a dragon and rushed straight out of the house.
This person is the leader of the Black Blood City, the supreme commander of the Black Blood Army, the Black Blood General—Long Yunxiao.
"Yan'er! Yan'er!" General Black Blood couldn't help but lost his voice when he looked at the girl on the back of Captain Black Blood.
But when he saw Lu Fengchen and others, and heard the report from the Black Blood Military Colonel. Long Yunxiao had to suppress his emotions first.
"Since we have guests, Li Chong went to arrange meals and accommodation for them. When Long solves some things, I will thank you all." Long Yunxiao thanked several people and asked the Black Blood Military Colonel to take care of the road. Feng Chen and three people.
Lu Fengchen and others also knew that General Black Blood was suppressing his anger at this time. Everyone also followed Captain Li Chong and left.
After arranging the residence of the three of them, Li Chong went to arrange meals for everyone. During this period, Liu Xun was still practicing, and Lu Fengchen began to refine the ice scale snake venom. Only Shen Tong recovered to the sixth level of the psychic realm and began to fall asleep.
"Everyone, your meal is ready. Let's finish it first and then practice." Li Chong arranged the meal and asked Lu Fengchen and others to have dinner.
Several people were really hungry and wolfed down the food without any courtesy.
After eating, Liu Xun and Lu Fengchen wanted to practice. But Shen Tong wanted to chat. I can't stand his tough words. The two had no choice but to chat with him for a while.
"Have you noticed that the Red-Blooded General is full of momentum and always does things with confidence? Even so, he gives people a sense of affinity. On the other hand, the Black-blooded General gives people a strong sense of oppression. I feel in front of him. The air has become heavy." Shen Tong began to comment on the two generals in a logical manner.
"That's because you don't know the generals well. Let me talk to you." Li Chong suddenly came in from the door.
"Captain Li, no offense intended, please forgive me." Lu Fengchen hurriedly stood up and apologized, and several people commented casually on the commander-in-chief of the army. Violated military regulations. Especially when commenting on other people's generals in other people's camps, you and others should not be too rude as they represent the Red Blood Army.
"It doesn't matter. In fact, you all know a lot about the two generals. These two are really the two most special ones among the ten generals, and their relationship is far better than the other generals." Li Chong seemed to like it very much. Tell stories to others.
"You should have heard about the marriage between Liuyun Royal Family and Qianfeng Kingdom twenty years ago." Li Chong said to several people.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Captain Li, we are all about eighteen, twenty years ago..." Shen Tong said with some embarrassment.
"Um...it's good to be young. It's okay, I'll continue. Twenty years ago, General Black Blood was training in the Kyoto barracks. He met three people of his own age, a girl and two young men." Li Chong said slightly. I was embarrassed but continued to tell everyone.
"Through a long period of contact, the young black-blooded general learned that the three of them were members of the Liuyun royal family and became close friends. The girl among them was Chu Yuyan who got married twenty years ago, and the two These young men are the current King of Flowing Clouds, Chu Yingtian, and the Red-Blooded General Chu Yanhe." Li Chong explained the identities of several people.
"No wonder, the high school captain said that General Chiyue is a prince." Shen Tong interrupted at the side.
"The next thing is about General Black Blood. Although General Black Blood at that time was born as a commoner, he had a water-avoiding dragon of the seventh level of Xuan Rank. Such talents were at the forefront even in the sect. At that time, General Black Blood and Yu Yan The two princesses are already in love with each other. After the royal family learned about it, they had no choice but to restrict the two of them and beat them up." Li Chong shook his head helplessly, as if he was aggrieved for General Black Blood.
"Princess Yuyan is the most beloved sister of General Scarlet Blood and the most beloved sister of the king. However, no one dared to disobey the late king's order. On the day of sending off the bride, all the heads of the major families in Kyoto will go out of the city to see her off. , the whole Kyoto was decorated with lights, and everyone seemed to be happy. General Red Blood was the leader of the escort army and the representative of the royal family. But the king was nowhere to be seen." Li Chong described the scene to everyone.
"But what was supposed to come came anyway. Not long after leaving the city, the heads of the major families had retreated. A young man wearing a Fangtian painted halberd and possessed by a dragon stopped in front of the procession. The Red Blood General knew the identity of the visitor and fought Soon he pretended to be defeated and allowed General Black Blood to take Princess Yuyan away." Li Chong's emotions became more and more intense, and it is not difficult to see his admiration for General Black Blood.
"But, just when General Black Blood thought he could take away Princess Yuyan, a strong man from the Royal Family's Yunling Realm took action. At that time, General Black Blood was only at the tenth level of psychic. He sensed the breath of death in an instant. In the end, Princess Yuyan risked her life to protect General Black Blood. And the king followed." Li Chong sighed, feeling sorry for the two of them.
Strange looks appeared on everyone's faces, and the three of them looked at each other.
"Do you feel that the king is not loyal to brothers? At this time, word reached the ears of the late emperor that although he was exempted from the death penalty for the sake of Princess Yuyan, he still wanted to abolish his cultivation. For this reason, the king I knelt in front of the late emperor's palace for seven days and agreed to the late emperor's three conditions, and then I saved General Black Blood." Li Chong saw through the thoughts of several people. Explaining to several people.
"Especially after the king succeeded to the throne, he directly conferred the title of General Black Blood and the only prince of the opposite sex. He also married the daughter of the prime minister of the court to General Black Blood. In fact, the prime minister's daughter is of the same age regardless of family background or appearance. One by one. It’s just that General Black Blood’s heart can no longer accommodate anyone else.” Li Chong informed Lu Fengchen and others of everything the king had done.
"Until the two of them had a daughter, the young lady became the most cherished person of the general." Li Chong took a sip of tea and finished telling the story.
"That's why the two generals act so differently. The red-blooded general is a member of the royal family, calm and emotional. The black-blooded general values love and the people he cherishes. The story ends here, and it's not too early, everyone. Rest." Looking at the stars in the sky, Li Chong also said goodbye.
There were only three people left in the room who were thinking.
The three of them stayed up all night after listening to the story. Liu Xun seemed to be thinking about the past and kept thinking about it. Shen Tong also looked heavy.
And Lu Fengchen thought of his family feud. As a territory of Black Blood City, a whole family was wiped out. Isn't this General Black Blood's dereliction of duty? But now he has not yet questioned General Black Blood's strength, so he can only ask him. Please help investigate.
Before I knew it, it was getting bright. Liu Xun leaned against the wall nearby. Watching the rising sun fill the barracks with sunshine.
"It's dawn!" Liu Xun kept breathing the fresh air, the wind blowing on his cheeks, and he took a long breath, and his mood seemed to be much better.
"Yes! It's dawn." Lu Fengchen also made a decision.
"Is it dawn yet?" Shen Tong seemed to be the only one who was still in a daze.
"Brother Liu, Brother Lu, do you think you are so powerful that you can protect everything you care about?" Shen Tong suddenly asked.
The two of them looked very surprised and didn't know how to answer for a while. Shen Tong rarely asked two people so seriously.
"When I was an ordinary person, I thought that by becoming a spiritual warrior, I could live a stable life. When something happened to my family, people who were just in the spiritual realm could bully us. Black-blooded generals and even the Liuyun royal family needed to rely on marriage. To maintain peace, even my master once transcended the spirit realm, but now he can only hide in the northern region." Shen Tong's eyes filled with tears as she thought about the past.
"It's not so much that our pursuit of stronger strength is to do what we want to do, but rather to gain the power to say no to things we don't want to do." Liu Xun was also reminded of the past by Shen Tong.
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. Things in this world cannot be perfect. What we need to do is not to be perfect, but to leave fewer regrets." Lu Fengchen looked at the two people and could only persuade them. , if the two of them continue to be like this, the Taoist heart will be destroyed.
Several people were silent for a long time, and then a voice came from outside the door.
"Everyone, General Black Blood has summoned some of you."
Li Chong's appearance broke the silence.
"Let's go!" Lu Fengchen led the two of them over.
"Okay, okay, Brother Lu, I'm fine already. I can just walk by myself." After three consecutive somersaults, Shen Tong's mood seemed to be getting better.
Liu Xun also escaped from Lu Fengchen.
In the main hall of the General's Mansion, four people have been waiting here for a long time.
"Dad, you have to thank people properly and don't treat them coldly." The girl among the four suddenly said to the leader.
"Okay, okay, look at when daddy has ever wronged a benefactor."
"General, people are here." Two guards on the side suddenly said.
A few people were Long Yunxiao and his daughter who arrived early, and the two bodyguards of General Black Blood.
"Greetings to General Black Blood!" Lu Fengchen and the other two people bowed to General Black Blood.
"You three young heroes are very polite. If you hadn't rescued me, my little girl would have been kidnapped by that group of thieves." Long Yunxiao laughed.
"Dad! How can my daughter be so useless?" the girl on the side said angrily.
The three people on the side started whispering when they saw the girl.
"Is this her?" Lu Fengchen asked Liu Xun.
"I don't know, she was dirty when I arrived." Liu Xun seemed to not recognize the girl in front of him.
The current girl was wearing a light red dress, with a well-proportioned and petite figure, long hair, smart eyes, and a cute face. Liu Xun could not imagine the little girl from that time.
Shen Tong seemed unable to intervene in the conversation between the two of them. Just listening.
Looking at the surprised expressions of Lu Fengchen and the other two people. The girl was also secretly happy.
"I heard that some of the young heroes are also from the barracks?" General Blackblood looked at them with interest.
"We are soldiers under General Scarlet Blood." Lu Fengchen reported.
"It really breaks my heart that such a young talent fell into the hands of Red Blood." General Black Blood looked heartbroken.
"But poaching people has never been my job. I, Long Yunxiao, don't know what they need. If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them. As long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it." General Black Blood made a direct promise.
Although people say so, how can a few people really make unreasonable demands?
"I want ten low-grade Xuan-level spiritual swords." Shen Tong was the first to speak. Liu Xun frowned. His gloves were only low-grade Xuan-level gloves, which were worth two thousand military merits.
"No problem." General Blackblood replied readily.
"I need ten spiritual cores of fire-attributed Xuan-level monsters." Liu Xun also made a request.
"No problem, no problem." General Black Blood still agreed. Not to mention him as a general, any person in the Spiritual Realm can take out such items at will.
But Lu Fengchen seemed to be distracted, and his eyes kept falling on the two jade beads in the hands of General Black Blood.
Although General Black Blood crushed a pair yesterday, there are plenty of such things in the general's mansion.
It wasn't the material of the jade beads that attracted Lu Fengchen, but Lu Fengchen remembered that when his father was still alive, he often had two jade beads wrapped around him. Now the scene has struck a chord, and it seems that his father once gave him an extremely gorgeous jade bead, but it has now been lost.
"Young hero! Young hero!" General Black Blood noticed Lu Fengchen's distraction and tried to wake him up.
"General, I don't want anything. I just want the general to do me a favor." Lu Fengchen said after coming back to his senses.
"Oh? What's the deal? Tell me carefully." General Black Blood did not refuse or agree.
"The boy's name is Lu Fengchen. He was originally the young master of the Lu family in Yancheng City under Black Blood City. A year ago, the other two families and a group of thieves collaborated inside and outside, and the family was almost wiped out. Now I hope that the general can make the decision for my Lu family." At this point. Lu Fengchen was already kneeling on the ground, but he didn't notice the change in General Black Blood's expression at all.
"What did you say your name was? Where do you live?" The facial muscles on the Black Blood General's face were trembling, and cracks appeared on the jade beads in his hands.
"My name is Lu Fengchen, from Yancheng."
"What's your father's name? Tell me quickly!"
"Lu Shanhe..."
"Thumping." The black blood general's eyes turned red, veins popped up on his face, and the jade beads in his hands were broken.
"Stand up and let me take a good look..." Long Yunxiao's voice was trembling for some reason.
Lu Fengchen stood up. Long Yunxiao looked at Lu Fengchen's face carefully, but his heart gradually fell to the bottom.
"Li Chong, let the three young heroes stay a little longer. I'm not feeling well today. You can arrange what they need." The black-blooded general seemed to be holding on to his strength.
As soon as he reached his courtyard, the black-blooded general fell to the ground. This frightened the two guards and they hurriedly called for a doctor. Only the Black Blood General's daughter, Long Xiaoyan, was left to take care of him.
Lu Fengchen and the others also noticed the change in General Blackblood's expression at that time. It's just that it's not easy to ask a few people.
Following General Black Blood's order, Lu Fengchen and others will stay in Black Blood City for a while.
Moreover, Li Chong told the three of them that he had sent a message to General Scarlet Blood, which reassured Lu Fengchen and others.
Several people were forced to stay without knowing why.
