El Tienuo North Gate Tianguan Ruins in August 568th year of El Tienuo calendar

In the recent surprise operation, the North Gate Tianguan was captured by the Eltinus Army. The Shi family's army wanted to take advantage of the situation to break through and take down several provinces along the Reins border, but they were held back by a large number of refugees scattered near Tianguan North Gate.

Because of the sudden destruction of the North Gate Tianguan, Reins' command system at the border collapsed, and the settlement and supply of refugees were completely interrupted. The combination of famine and disease made the situation out of control. When the epidemic began to spread to the Shijia army, the army was inevitably dragged down.

According to the Shi family’s style of doing things, as long as you cut the mess with a sharp knife, bury these incompetent refugees alive, or burn them clean, you can immediately clear the obstacles, but from the moment the Shi family breaks Beimen Tianguan. , Huge international pressure was applied.

The Brothel and Bailu Cave, in an almost intimidating tone, successively expressed the hope that the Shi family will attach importance to the humanitarian spirit, and promised to provide material assistance; the Wulian Wang family even set out their carts and mobilized the army to stop in Wulian. Refining the border, as long as the Shi family dared to let go of massacre, the tyrannical orc army immediately broke through the border and entered the Shi family territory.

Perhaps he doesn’t care about Bailu Cave, which has become a deadly enemy, but Shi Chong is still deeply jealous of the intimidation on both sides of Wulian and Free City, forcing him to restrain his subordinates and separate the refugee area for assistance. Materials enter.

In the past, when there was a famine in the Hua family's territory, there were instances where the Hua family detained aid materials sent by Reins for military use, but did not distribute them to the people, but this time Shi Chong did not do the same. Because the Wang family and Bailudong had a strange attitude, they seemed to be waiting for an excuse to directly intervene in this war. As long as they were caught by them, they might take fierce action to launch an attack.

"The martial arts moves are very fast, but Wang Wu is notoriously averse to war. Although he is very generous to Reins' mountain monkey, will he start a war for this? The orc army is just acting, don’t worry..."

Paying attention to the evolution of the situation, Hua Tianxie once said so, and Shi Chong, who was opposite him, smiled and said: "The world says that Wang Wu hates war, but he personally cut it down in the Jinhua chaos. Kublai Khan. If you don't like fighting, it doesn't mean that you are not lethal. It is better to be cautious..."

Because of this idea, the Shi family changed their previous style. Not only did they restrict soldiers from intruding into the refugee camp for ten miles with military orders, they also specifically gave way to the rescue supplies.

"Reins hasn't practiced military affairs for a long time. The domestic army and garrison are third-rate military forces that are unbearable for actual combat. Although the reforms were carried out after King Lancelow ascended the throne, the time was too short to see results. , If you want to fight hard with us, you can only let the magical guild's force participate in the war, and at the same time bring the five-color flag back from overseas."

Hua Tianxie talked about his views on this war, and he won Shi Chong's approval.

"Yes, according to the right way of military science, we should take a sudden attack at this time, grabbing the border provinces of Reings before the assembly of the five-color flags in Reins, and rushing to the hinterland, compressing the activities of the five-color flags. Space. Anyway, we don’t need to worry about supplies. Even if we can’t find food locally, the Reins people’s taste is probably good..."

Speaking horrible words, Shi Chong said: "However, these military strategies are meaningless now. Even if they can stand on the ground, as long as the result of the heavenly war is undecided, the so-called results of the war are nothing but dreams. So, slow down!"

In the past...no, even going back ten years ago, this kind of thing is still unimaginable. After occupying more than 90% of the enemy's territory, encircling the capital, and gaining an overwhelming absolute advantage on the battlefield, the previous tactical victories will be wiped out and driven out of the country because of the defeat of the duel of the coach class.

In the past, this kind of thing was ridiculous, but now it seems to be taken for granted. Even if the power of Eltinus can be used to mobilize millions of soldiers, break Reins, and encircle the capital of Jixia, as long as the spread caused by a decisive battle with a few powerful masters, it is enough to make millions of soldiers. The casualties were heavy.

When the battle of the day is fought, within the radius that is affected, there are a series of disasters of heaven and earth. No matter one person, hundreds of thousands or millions of people, as long as you are within that range, you can only be slaughtered.

It's just as powerful as the remaining prestige of the Celestial War, let alone let a few Celestial masters come out to attack the army specifically. Compared with the power of heaven, the existence of mortals is too small.

In spite of this, no matter how great the heavenly master is, he can only use his power for destruction just like Li Yujian tried the world that day. If there is only one person, even if he can kill everyone on the Continent of Wind with his own power, he still cannot become the overlord who rules the entire continent. An army composed of ordinary people is completely worthless in the battle of heaven, but whether Lancelow or Shi Chong, they all need to raise such a group of forces. This is indeed a very ironic thing.

In addition to the people who started the war and the people who face the war, there are also people who are detached from this war and are busy for it.

※※※

Returning from an overseas island to the land of wind, Quan Ying crossed the Reins land and headed straight to El Tienor, preparing to meet her teacher Lu You at Bailu Cave, confirming some doubts in her heart.

Riding from the air, she saw the Shi family's army slowly advancing in the vicinity of Kiglu, surrounding Kiglu in a slow but dense formation.

(Why do you want to do this? Kiglu is a remote and barren land, without the ability to resist. As long as you use thousands of cavalry, you can trample on the past, and you can take it in a day. Why does the Shi family use such a The cautious attitude of the enemy? What are they worrying about?)

With such doubts in her heart, Quan Ying couldn't figure out Shi Chong's plan, but she cast her gaze into the Longteng Mountain Range in the distance.

Whether it is over there or here, I can't feel the breath of the dragon clan. Where are the golden dragoons who helped Shijia break through the Beimen Tianguan? Have you returned to Thanglong Mountain?

Quan Ying, who had hoped to meet her tribe here and asked for details, rushed to the air, and when she was about to continue her journey towards Bailu Cave, a familiar breath stopped her and turned her head to look towards the north gate. Refugee area in the direction of Tianguan.

"Why is she here... why?"

Looking down from a high altitude, due to the rapid expansion of the refugee camp in recent days, the camp has been hundreds of miles in size, and the scale is extremely large. Even at high altitude, Quan Ying still feels the surging negative emotions below, which is violently rising into the sky. Come.

"That's right, I should find you from this place..."

With a little smile, Quan Ying landed from a high altitude, as the clouds passed by her side, the refugee area under her feet became clearer, she fell to the ground, following the guidance of her breath, and quickly found what she was looking for the goal.

Surrounded in the center of a large number of patients, the white clothes that I used to wear in the past have been replaced by coarse cloth casual clothes, which have been stained with yellow dirt by dust. In order to act smartly, they also changed to trousers with long black hair tied up. With a long hair braid hanging behind his head, Fenghua rolled up his sleeves and was administering acupuncture treatment to the patient in front of him.

Without saying a word, Quan Ying sat down beside Fenghua, rolled up her sleeves, and started to be her assistant to help take care of the patients.

It's like the first meeting of the two women at Tianguan Pass in Beimen before. They didn't talk a word and focused on treating the patients until dark.

※※※

The environment of war and famine has always been a hotbed for the spread of epidemics, and this time is no exception. The plague has spread in the refugee camps. The situation would have been even worse if the doctors sent by the free city arrived in time.

Currently, among the three genius doctors recorded in the Brothel Volumes within a hundred years, Fenghua inherited the medical methods of the Western Queen’s family, focusing on acupuncture and moxibustion, which stimulates the patient’s own vitality through acupuncture points and drives away the disease. But when the patient's vitality is not vigorous enough, and the degree of increase is limited, it must be used in conjunction with drugs.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Fortunately, the Brokers Alliance is very generous this time. Various medical herbs are sent here in an endless stream, so that Fenghua can safely prescribe the prescription, and the medical staff who specializes in decoction will deal with it as soon as possible.

It was getting dark, Quan Ying took the hot tea from the waiter next to her, and after drinking it all, she listened. I didn’t notice any army’s sound. There were only groans one after another, intermittent crying, and the smell of herbal medicine in my nose. After a long time, my head felt dizzy and I had to open the tent curtain. The curtain is ventilated and comfortable.

"Fortunately, this batch of medicinal materials can be sent in, otherwise the corpse stinks will be pervaded here. I didn't expect the Brothel Alliance to be so generous. Sister Fenghua's face is really great."

"I'm sorry, but...I don't think it's exactly like that."

With a smile, he passed the hot tea in her hand to Quan Ying, Fenghua closed her eyes and whispered: "After several contacts, I found that there are experts in the Shi family’s camp who are proficient in black magic. If you let him Do whatever they want, most of these millions of refugees will be slaughtered, and the ghosts will use black magic to become a weapon to boost the strength of the Shi family. Brothel is aware of this, so it uses a tough attitude to stop the Shi family's slaughter."

Quan Ying was startled, and she didn't expect to hear such an analysis from Fenghua. Although it was reasonable,... it's still hard to imagine that Fenghua would come into contact with things on such a dark side.

"To be a doctor, in addition to technology, you must also have accurate judgments. I hope to save people as much as possible, so I have to understand all kinds of things, bright and dark."

With a soft tone, Fenghua explained his mood. For Quanying, she is full of gratitude to Fenghua. If she hadn't given her a helping hand last time, wasting her true essence, and sending a life-saving light in her body, then she would have been spent in the first battle at the North Gate Tianguan. When the evil spirits attack, they will kill the jade, and it is impossible to survive to this day.

"Sister Fenghua, thank you. I have never... still found a chance to say thank you to you."

Fenghua nodded with a smile, didn't say much, but seemed a little shy. Although she had encountered such scenes many times since practicing medicine, she still couldn't get used to people's heartfelt thanks, and she accepted it calmly. Although these thanks make me happy, I still feel embarrassed about how to deal with it.

Set up the remaining tribesmen in the free city. The West Queen Mother Clan still has enough money left, and the tribesmen also have life skills, enough for them to seek a new life. What I expect from them is to live independently and keep a distance from Shangri-La.

The lady in the magic house treats herself very well, and the warm feeling is even a bit like...a relative, not like a woman in the dark world should do. I am very grateful for this, but I believe this is only a special case. If the lady treats everyone like this, the brothel alliance will never develop into today’s scale, so for the happiness of the tribe, I hope that they will keep their distance from Shangri-La and not alliance with brothel. Something involved.

After leaving the Queen Mother Clan of the West, the burdens that have been weighing on him are gone, and the whole person seems to be much more relaxed. For the first time, I can examine the future with a completely unburdened mood. There is no longer anyone arranging the way to go in the future, no one making decisions for themselves, the briskness of liberation, joy as if they are flying off the ground, when the prison door opens, I even can’t wait to flutter my wings. Fly out.

Actually, I don't know which direction I should go in the future, but these are things that can be explored slowly, but I am afraid...that is a route that runs counter to the one you love!

"Sister Fenghua, I have a question for you, why do you want to stay here? Don't you return to... his side?"

In a trance, Fenghua heard Quan Ying asking this question. There is no need to say clearly, both women know who the "he" is, because apart from that man, no one else has such an important position in their lives at the same time.

On the other hand, Izumi Sakura is really puzzled, because from the situation in Japan, the relationship between Lancelow and Fenghua is vaguely affectionate. After the Battle of Kunlun Mountains, Lancelow didn’t say anything. But in my heart, I was even worried about Fenghua and kept searching with Tianxin consciousness. Fenghua must also have love for Lancelot, so why did she come here without saying goodbye?

Quan Ying’s intelligence made her vaguely guess that Fenghua was in a conditional exchange with the Brothel Alliance, so Brothel made great efforts in rescuing the Japanese survivors. However, since Fenghua is a free body, why did Fenghua continue to pass it on? Did the peace message reach Jixia? This is something that I cannot understand.

"Quan Ying, the reason why I did not return to him is the same as the reason you left him. I think it is the same." Fenghua smiled shyly: "He... has too strong personality and too domineering, there are many It’s better to do things separately. If you’re with him, you won’t have a chance to do it."

Quanying seemed to understand at first, but when Fenghua opened the curtain of the tent and listened to the groan of the patient outside, her brows showed melancholy, she suddenly understood Fenghua's intention.

Exquisite medical skills, gentle heart, Fenghua is a natural healer. At the moment of freedom, what she most hopes to do is to use her own power to reduce the pain and injury of this continent.

It is a good thing to save lives, but in this weird and changeable world, purely well-intentioned behaviors also have different interpretations of value. Saving a life can sometimes cause some troubles to some living beings.

The doctor saves people regardless of whether it is high or low, rich or poor. As long as it is a life, Fenghua wants to save. However, if she should be selfless, if she has her own side, then her own side will inevitably be very troubled when she rescues the enemy.

Given the current situation, Lancelot is ambitious and wants to use troops against El Tienor, and the Stone Family family will preemptively win the North Gate Tianguan. If Reins is willing to show weakness, he will immediately take revenge action. The war is about to break out.

In this situation, Fenghua's situation is very embarrassing. As long as there is a casualty, no matter which side of the injured, she wants to rescue, but from Lancelow's side, this kind of behavior is very eye-catching. Fenghua should make a choice at the moment of following him. , The **** enemy let them die, so that they can save him regardless of the enemy and us, which not only makes him unhappy, but also makes it difficult for him to face his generals.

"Actually, I want to see him, I want to see him very much... but I am also very scared, because if I really see him, I am worried that I can’t refuse his request, so... it’s not good. ."

Fenghua whispered, the slender figure looked very lonely in the dim light. When the cold wind was blowing cold, Quan Ying couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand and pass some warmth.

I can understand the difficulties of this sister, because I also hope to completely resolve the problems on the dragon side, and then return to the husband’s side. Otherwise, when the dragons are hostile to Reins, it’s for The people of the tribe are concerned about themselves, maybe they will do something that violates their own interests.

My husband’s personality is similar to my own. Both are so stubborn and hard to tolerate any betrayal. Therefore, I must make a choice, and only when I am fully prepared can I decide where I belong without regret.

But Sister Fenghua is different from herself. Her gentle personality prevents her from making a real decision, even if she is softened by her husband’s plea, she returns to Reins with him, but hears a war somewhere. After the news, he will still feel sad again, and he will not hesitate to tear up his original promise, but also come out to treat the enemy's injuries. If this continues, the friction between the two sides will only worsen.

"So, the best way is to hide from him until the day when I can make a decision..."

"Huh? Say it like this..."

Quan Ying is really worried for her husband. Although Sister Fenghua has got rid of the shackles of the Queen Mother Clan, the things she voluntarily bears now are far heavier than herself and more difficult to let go.

"Well, I think...when there is no war in the Continent of Wind, and there is no division against me, there will be no obstacles between me and my husband!"

Fenghua said softly, and Quan Ying, who had been confirmed before, could only smile at the sad situation of her husband.

Think about it even I am a little funny. With my own personality, how can I allow myself to have a man with other women? Worry about the situation of that man? However, forget it, as long as you are happy, I hope to see my husband happy, and I am happy to see that Sister Fenghua has a good home...Perhaps, this is the mood of Sister Feng'er!

"Sister Fenghua, don't you think this requirement is too strict?"

"Will it?"

Fenghua smiled and turned to look at Quan Ying. Although there was no brilliance in her blind eyes, a silent heart rhyme made Quan Ying speechless against her expression at this time.

"Why do you think so? Compared to eating and sleeping, war is not a necessary behavior for creatures!"

Fenghua said: "Listen to the voices of the patients outside. In fact, most people are like them. They don't want to encounter any wars and hope to live peacefully. It is only because they are involved in the struggle for power. Had to leave their homes and drifted away... From the beginning to the end, a few people have started the war, but the majority of them bear the bitterness. In comparison, I think this kind of thing is really unreasonable."

It seems that there is some commotion outside, Fenghua once again braided her braids, no matter how heavy the night is, she left to investigate the situation.

Quan Ying thought about everything that Shi Cai Fenghua said, and she was very touched. Her heart head was what she thought of, but she couldn't sort it out clearly...

Reins' counterattack speed was faster than Shi Chong expected. On the day after Quan Ying arrived at Beimen Tianguan, an army hurriedly formed by garrisons of several nearby provinces, about forty thousand people, led by Nier and Gengoro personally, began to fight with the Shijia army who violated the entry. There was a contact war.

The composition of the garrison is mostly local militias. It has not received formal military training and is not strong in combat power. Nier is quite complaining about this. However, instead of mobilizing troops to attack, it is directly assembled by western provinces. The team formed an army, so it was relatively fast. In order to declare to the Reins people the determination to defend the country, it would be good to be able to block the enemy one minute and one second earlier.

"Trouble Nier, you can block the Shi family first. With you and Mr. Gengoro, it should be possible to prevent the Shi family from continuing to deepen. When the army is mobilized, you can launch a counterattack."

"Do whatever you want, but if the action is too slow, before you mobilize the army, I will sweep all the Shijia chopsticks out of the country. Don't blame me then."

Nier hinted that she would use her personal strength to defeat the Shi family's army, Xiaocao smiled and said: "If it can be so, this will naturally be the best situation."

"It is normal for the two of us to go on the march." Nier also knows that she and Gengoro are the best candidates for Reins' side at present, and her brother must sit down and direct various administrative tasks. , After all, being an emperor is not suitable for charging at the forefront in every battle.

"But, if you want to use the heavenly battle to decide the victory or defeat, at least when Xiao Wu and I are away, there must be someone else commanding the army, right? I request another person who can assist the army to come."

As long as you march to the area of ​​Kiglu, the five-color flags that have separated from the North Gate Tianguan can come and meet. By then, Bai Qianlang will be a competent military talent, but Gengoro can see that the reason why Nier made this request, A little bit is because of loneliness.

I just came back from overseas, I have to separate from my family and stay outside again. This Nizi must feel lonely too, right? Therefore, Gengoro also said that it is recommended that one more lieutenant participate in this battle.

"But, you are flying directly to the army, unless you are a master of heaven, who can follow you? The current group of masters of heaven, no one can send out!"

I can understand Gengoro's request, but Lancelot was troubled by considering the actual personnel issues.

"No, you don't need to use the power of heaven. For things like war, in addition to strength, luck is also very important. Your majesty hopes that your majesty will lend me your luck."

"Luck...you shouldn't be thinking..."

"Yes, there is a Reins number one by your majesty...oh, no, the number one man of luck in the land of the wind, with him walking with the army, we will be invincible. Nothing is impossible."

"Lao San... After returning from Japan, your heart seems to be darker!"

"To each other... Your Majesty."

In addition to this deputy candidate, Gengoro and Nier were ordered to fight with the army, but in fact, Xiaocao did not make much war preparations.

All the five-color flags have been transferred back from overseas. This is already in progress. At the same time, the domestic new army is also in training. It will take half a year at the earliest to be able to enter the battlefield. Before that, if Put into actual combat, then these training and equipment will be wasted. Therefore, at present, as far as possible not to mobilize these new troops that are undergoing training and training, and only use the local garrison.

Anyway, if the key to the decisive battle is the battle of heaven, then the meaning of the army’s existence is the function of assisting in sweeping and managing after the battle of heaven. The guard team is capable of doing this, not to mention that Shi Chong’s actions are extremely good Unusual. Although the army actually invaded Reins, the speed and oppression of the army were not great, and the main force of the Golden Dragoons was withdrawn, making people unable to feel his strong attempt to take Reins.

Before dropping the main force to participate in the war, it is necessary to figure out the exact intention of the enemy. At present, there is too little information to be used for judgment, and it is necessary to observe again to make a decision.

Because of the previous agreement between Lancelot and Gengoro, when Gengoro and Nier were leaving, a seriously ill patient who was wailing loudly was pushed out of the ward.

"Hey, what do you want to do? I'm a seriously injured patient, where are you going to push me? Ah? The battlefield? This country is too inhuman, right? If even the seriously injured and sick people have to be carried to the battlefield If you die, it’s better to just surrender and subjugate the country...Hey, can you give some face? I’m the dignified Prime Minister from the left, can’t I go?"

The Snowman, who wanted to spend his days leisurely in the luxurious ward, was forced to be dragged out and sent to the battlefield. Although the talent of the former Queen Reins could not save the severely injured prime minister, it was easy to heal the Snowman.

According to Youxue's own wishes, he would rather continue to lie in the ward, recovering comfortably, than healed so quickly, and was pushed out to be beaten to death. Helplessly, he would not follow the snowman's wish. He finally He was still taken out of Jixia by Gengoro and Nier and joined the army.

The expected battle broke out soon, but the Shi family seemed to have no intention of a decisive battle. Not only did they disperse the army, but also immediately turned around and withdrew when encountering a large amount of force from Reins. This situation adds to the difficulties in the battle, because the scattered Shijia army, using the mobility of the cavalry, can reach a long distance in a short time.

"Damn, what kind of war is this? How can there be such a war?"

Nier was stunned by the situation in front of her. She expected a tough battle to be fought. How could she know that the enemy would flee when seeing her own army and would not be able to fight at all. What should we do if this continues?

Gengoro was not surprised by this situation, because before discussing with Kokusa, he had noticed that the Shi family’s dispatch of troops was unusual, and he expected that the opponent would not be head-to-head, but he was able to implement the retreat strategy to this point. Such a situation, but it is still beyond our expectations.

Tens of thousands of troops, scattered into hundreds or dozens of people, together with horses, became the most difficult robbers to deal with, spreading across Reins and looting places. The existence of the forty thieves at the beginning has fully demonstrated the difficulty of these horse thieves. Now if hundreds of forty thieves appear, fortunately, they will be intercepted at the border area. Otherwise, if they enter the hinterland of Reins, then Sometimes the situation is difficult to deal with.

"There is no way. If it is better than mobility, we should be better. Miss Nier and I will separate and culminate the enemy's cavalry. You Xue led the army to move slowly and encounter a small group of enemy soldiers. Attack with all strength. If the number of enemy troops exceeds a thousand... then retreat or call for help."

The transformation soldiers of the Shi family can’t be calculated by general standards. If more than one thousand transformation soldiers produce beast changes together and become more than a thousand powerful orcs, this batch of miscellaneous army hastily mobilized local guards. , It's not five-color flag elite!

"When the situation is wrong, we will send out the firework flag immediately. Miss Nier and I will come back immediately. Remember, when we are away, whenever there are orders from Prime Minister Xue, you will do it in the opposite direction. This is the most At least it will not be annihilated."

In this weird form, the messy battle at the Reins border began. As Gengoro originally expected, most of the enemy's army is composed of reformed fighters, and it is a little troublesome to deal with it. It is not forcibly broken by the power of heaven, and ordinary people can't handle it.

"However, what on earth is Shi Chong thinking...Although he has always heard that he does not cherish the lives of his men, what is the point of sending him as a victim?"

The battle progressed smoothly. Gengoro easily eliminated every enemy squad he encountered, but the doubts in his heart increased unabated.

While he fought with Nier, some people compiled their records of each battle and constantly summarized the characteristics.

※※※

"In three days, one hundred and twenty consecutive battles, it has been confirmed that Yamamoto's 56th practice is the demon's demon art, and the martial arts is also mixed with the Bai family, the demon, and the Bailu cave. As for the details, we need to observe further.

As for Gengoro Amano, this man is very cunning. After the third battle, he picked up a large boulder, poured the power of heaven into it, and threw the boulder to kill the enemy. All the corpses were **** and we couldn’t tell from it. Any martial artist, or possible inner strength mental method, is most likely to have discovered that we are spying in the dark. "

After reading the report in hand, Hua Tianxie sneered. It's not possible. The other party has already noticed it 100%. In fact, compared to anyone in the Lancelot camp, this man named Gengoro Amano has surprisingly few relevant information, as if he had deliberately tried countless times since his debut. He concealed his martial arts in his hands, so that it was extremely difficult to collect his information.

"If you can't find out in martial arts, I will focus on it from the beginning."

However, this investigation policy is a step too late. Judging from the surname Amano, this man is from Japan, so no information about him can be found on the Continent of Wind. However, Japan has fallen and all the information has disappeared. It is only now. Going to search is undoubtedly a step slower.

This man once claimed to be Lu You’s first disciple. How true is this statement? Due to the unpredictable nature of Lu Cheng’s affairs, it is still unclear. However, the data collected from many aspects show that Gengoro once showed the stars. The martial arts of the sage Kadar adds another layer of incomprehensibility to his origin.

"The three sages exchanged martial arts with each other, and this situation also appeared in the next generation of disciples. If Gengoro is a disciple of Lu You, he learned the martial arts of Bailudong and Kadar from the master. Not surprising...or the other way around?"

Nothing can be seen on the data, Hua Tianxie simply asked the person sitting opposite.

"I heard that you have fought with Gengoro Amano. In your opinion, what is the strength of this person?"

What is surprising is that Hua Tianxie is not in the Shijia territory, nor invaded Reins with the army, but came to Shangri-La alone and appeared in a wine shop.

He is not a leisurely person like Cao Shou. The reason why he came to Free City is mainly because of the drunk man in front of him.

The other party did not ask him to sit down here, but Hua Tianxie ignored the other party's wishes and sat down honestly. Looking at the other party with a disheveled hair and a messy beard, full of strong alcohol, stains on his clothes, lying on the table, but still holding a wine bottle in his hand, it looks like this In the data, the image of the sword fairy Li Yu when he wandered about the rivers and lakes was somewhat similar.

"It's just an old friendship, so you won't draw your sword to me, right? The dignified super master, but in such a situation, it's too ugly."

The sentence uttered with a sneer did not make the other person react in any way. Maybe he no longer has the will to draw his sword, or... he is already drunk and fainted.

"Evasion is not always a good way to solve problems. It is ridiculous to see you being so self-willed to fall. One of the three great swords, as long as you have the will, you can make a storm on this continent at any time, why bother Are you drunk here?"

There was no answer. The person lying on the opposite side didn't make any movement or sound. If it weren't for continuous breathing, I would really suspect that this person had died of breath.

"You continue to be drunk here, but this does not mean you can escape..."

Take out an invitation from her arms, Hua Tianxie sneered and threw the invitation on the table.

"Whether you are drunk or sleeping, as long as you breathe, you can't escape grievances. Twelve days later, your old friend will be there at the celebration ceremony of Eltinus. I think he is looking forward to seeing you again. , Please be sure to appreciate it by then."

After speaking these two sentences briefly, Hua Tianxie turned around and left. From beginning to end, he did not talk to Shiro Amakusa for a word, and he was not sure whether the most important guest would be invited to the National Day ceremony. However, Shi Chong seemed to be extremely confident in that invitation. , I think Amakusa will never be indifferent after reading the content of the invitation.

※※※

Not only Amakusa Shiro of Shangri-La, but Lu Yu of Bailu Cave also came with visitors.

Lu You has been in retreat for two thousand years. Even if it is the king of Eltinus or the Lord of the Great Stone in the past, he will definitely be turned away, but this time the visitor is an exception. As a closed disciple of Lu You, it should be a matter of course to beg to see Master. However, Lu You rarely left a message a few days ago, expressing his unwillingness to meet this female disciple.

This visitor is much more stubborn than Hua Tianxie. When she learned that Lu You was unwilling to meet, she did not retreat, but instead expressed a very determined intention to move forward.

"I went back to the academy today. I just want to see my master. Please let me go, otherwise I will have to offend."

Although her attitude is peaceful, Quan Ying fully expressed her persistence. Even if she wants to use force to force her out, she will see Master today.

"Senior elders, please let me pass. You are all my elders. I don't want to have any conflict with you."

In terms of generation, Quan Ying, who is a direct disciple of Lu You, has a higher rank than any elder, but Bailu Cave pays attention to respecting the virtuous and respecting the elderly. For these elders who have been in Bailu Cave for hundreds of years, Quan Yingji It was cautious. In order to show her respect to the teacher, she even lowered her head. However, the walls of people on the opposite side didn't mean to give way.

"Offended."

There is no need to use weapons. Quan Ying went up the mountain this time without a weapon. She hopes to solve it peacefully. However, even if she does not bring her usual Zhujiao, she does not think that Bailu Cave has anything other than Master Lu You. People can stop themselves, stop this surging power that has initially entered a strong heaven.

There was an extreme power gap. Within a few moments, Quan Ying confirmed this prediction. The battle was going on in a one-sided manner. With her strength at the moment, looking down from top to bottom in the hands of the match, she suddenly discovered a rather interesting fact.

In just a few years, the impact of the continuous explosion of two vitality caves is very huge. The liberation of the Genki Caverns in Japan has been for some time now, and changes in various places have occurred. However, this group of elders have not been promoted to the ranks. From the point of view of the tricks, the response model has also become rigid, I am afraid Two more vitality caves will explode, and they won't grow much anymore.

However, many of the young swordsmen and immortals who formed sword formations, attacked together, or pulled mana to attack the enemy, many had reached the top of the earth, as long as they continued to train, they would penetrate the heart of the heavens, and immediately He is a top-notch figure in Bailudong.

The sign of the generational change is so obvious, but they can't find a matching self-confidence on their faces, which shows that they don't know their own potential and development. Quan Ying couldn't help but sigh. In this kind of sect with a long tradition, it is not easy for young disciples to come forward and obtain the position they deserve. However, if it is not for the various knowledge passed down by Bailu Dongyuan, it will be good for them. The foundation of learning and oriental magic, even if the vitality of heaven and earth changes suddenly, they will not benefit so much.

For the sake of Bailudong, perhaps we should knock down all these elders now, but...just like I still have a glimmer of hope for the dragon clan, I also hope that the children of Bailudong can discover the future by themselves, not by relying on The guidance of others.

Fighting for a few rounds was regarded as the etiquette that Quan Ying did to the teacher's door. After that, she no longer kept her hand, and took a few turns, went around a pond, stepped on the water, and when the other doormen performed light work, stepped on When chasing with the green lotus leaves, the Nanhua Water Sword, one of Bailudong's 36 stunts, quickly stopped them.

More than a hundred water pillars crisscross, cutting the sword array into pieces, and everyone’s coherent movement is stagnant. Following the water sword, it swept around in a spiral manner, and quickly swept a group of elders and gatekeepers. It was defeated.

After easily winning her due victory, Quan Ying leaped away and headed towards the ice cave of the back mountain enchantment.

In addition to the magnificent buildings, bookstores, and gardens in front of the mountain, the back mountain of Bailu Cave is forbidden to enter by ordinary disciples. The elders and the seven major disciples know that there are two forbidden areas behind the mountain, unless they get permission from Lu You. They were all killed, one was the ice cave where Lu You lived in seclusion, and the other was not even Quan Ying entered.

She only knew that it was a hillside staircase going up. There were seven arches on the way, but what was the end of this staircase? Where does it lead? Quan Ying didn't know either.

This is not the time when it should be troublesome. Before Quan Ying came to the ice cave, after passing through the layers of curse and blockade, she arrived at the entrance of the cave. The icy cold air passed through, and there was a chilling anxiety. Feeling blocking Quan Ying's path.

In the past, she was just wondering. She vaguely knew that it was the master who blocked the entrance with the peerless sword aura. Anyone who entered would be attacked by the sword aura, but after she began to advance to the strong heaven, she could clearly see that this was the master’s The strong heaven position Tianxin changes the environment, and the moment the intruder sets foot, he freezes his action with cold air, then rotates his sword energy to attack the main acupuncture point.

Since the reason is clear, it is easy to target the cracking. Condensing the power of the heavens, the two forces of the same level collided. Quan Ying felt a pain in her heart when the sword energy was disintegrated. Obviously, she was still close to the master's strength. This is not surprising, even though Japan This trip has made him so powerful, but he is not so arrogant to think that he has surpassed his teacher.

The last time I left here was after the Battle of Ku'er Mountain. I brought my dragon spear to this place for meditation and enlightenment. The coldness of the ice cave is still there, but I didn't expect it to come back in this form. The ice wall on the opposite side, which never melts, is where the master's body is preserved. Quan Ying bowed her body respectfully before opening her mouth.

"Master, why don't you want the disciples to visit you?"

The majestic but gentle tone came slowly from behind the ice wall, and there was no displeasure in it.

"With your martial arts, you can easily sneak into the back mountain, why do you want to break in from the front door?"

Since Tao Qian, the head of Bailu Cave, left, the No. 1 school in the world has no real masters. With the cultivation base of heaven, Quan Ying can escape directly into the back mountain of Bailu Cave. No one found out that even if Lu You sent a message to stop her in advance, this ban would not work.

"I am the disciple of Bailudong, my master, your disciple. Go back to my master, and see my master, why should I be sneaky?"

Quan Ying shook her head and said: "Master, you are a person I respect. It is my honor to be able to worship under your door. If you agree with me as a disciple, I hope I can stand up and return to Shimen."

This is the main reason, but besides that, Quan Ying has some feelings of protesting to Master. That's why he wanted to go back to Bailu Cave head-on, and Lu You, who saw through this, left an order to refuse to meet him in advance, frustrating his disciples who intended to provoke Master's authority.

"I still remember... when Elder Shensi took you up the mountain, more than ten years passed in a blink of an eye, unknowingly, you are already this old..."

What Lu You said was the history of the Dragon Clan elder bringing Quan Ying to Bailu Cave. The extinct dragon clan finally had the heir of the clan leader’s bloodline. Not only was it a female, but also had an incurable physique. The dragon clan who had not lived to be ten years old and helpless had no choice but to turn to Bailu Cave and think carefully about the elder belt. The immature Quan Ying came here to ask Lu You for help, received an exception and promised to help, and then left the little dragon clan leader behind.

With the strong power of heaven, Lu You energized the blood for Quanying, eased the muscles and cleansed the marrow, and expelled the blood clots in the body every day, which allowed her to extend her life beyond ten. But after all, the power of the strong heaven will not be able to completely cure this terminal illness. Lu You predicts that Quan Ying, whose death date has been postponed, will not pass her 20th birthday, and the only way to survive is to find the Nine Sky Ice Toad, which has disappeared during the Great War of Kyushu. .

From not being ten years old to breaking through the twenty limit, Quan Ying never thought that she would have today, but if it weren’t for Master’s life-saving and upbringing grace, she would not still be able to stand here. So, even though There have been some misunderstandings between the master and the apprentice in recent days, but Quan Ying is still grateful to Master.

"Tui'er is back from the calamity, martial arts and experience have been improved, it is really congratulatory, but... I heard that you seem to have a new name?"

"Master once taught that all names and titles are skin-like, no matter what the name changes, I am still the same...It's just that the name Quanying sounds more pleasant now. Doesn't Master like to listen?"

With a somewhat rhetorical feeling, it seemed to be another provocation, but the gentle smile on Quan Ying's face made people feel like she was acting like a baby to Master.

Before returning, Quan Ying had considered a lot. Master’s many deeds in recent years have made me feel very confused. It has vainly increased the misunderstanding between the master and the apprentice. The best way is to ask them face to face. However, if you continue to use roundabout rhetoric and continue the feeling of intrigue, this It seems that things can't really be resolved.

Quan Ying feels tired. Obviously he is his own tribe, but he sees himself as an obstacle. If he really doesn't want a female clan leader, he is not attached to it. It is just that he can't watch the dragon go in the wrong direction and ignore it. This has repeatedly blocked the tribe.

The same goes for Bailu Cave. There is both a life-saving grace and a karma between the master and apprentice. After seeing Oda Ka and Amakusa Shiro's apprentices, Izumi Sakura deeply sighs, why doesn't there exist such sincere feelings between herself and her master?

What is the purpose of accepting these disciples? As the fifth senior brother Li Yu said, except for the unidentified senior brother and Tao Qian third brother, the remaining disciples, if they are not local tycoons, are princes, and after they are subordinate, they have greatly increased Bailudong’s power, so to speak. A combination of the required powers.

The existence of my own closed disciple represents the combination of the Dragon Race and Bailu Cave, right? However, even if it was for the purpose of combining interests at the beginning, after many years of getting along with master and disciple, wouldn't there be no feeling at all? Quan Ying knew that it wasn't just that, at least she wasn't. In addition to asking her master about her doubts this time, she also wanted to know how much mentorship still remained.

"Um...Japan seems to be a good place. I have changed a lot when I came back this time..."

Lu You perceives Quan Ying's change, which is completely different from his own teaching policy.

Quan Ying’s talents are clever, and the progress in literary and martial arts is fast. She was taught by her teacher when she was young. Lu You taught her etiquette and coping. All the skills she learned are all hoping that she will keep etiquette, know how to advance and retreat, and become one. A great clan leader who lives up to the name of the dragon clan.

With this kind of teaching policy, Quan Ying quickly learned to be young and mature, like a little adult, all behaviors are polite and justifiable, she is a beautiful little lady, but the master and apprentice are a little less close. Ni is like ice that cannot be melted in an ice cave, with an extra layer of transparent barrier that cannot be broken through.

Lu You doesn’t feel any regrets, because this is the orthodox education of Bailudong, and he and his own are all educated by this system. Quanying is so excellent, which also represents her own way of education. That's right.

However, maybe he is really old. When he saw the disciple's smile, he was a little timid, looking forward to his own response, he suddenly felt that he had missed something over the years?

"What did you see when you went to Japan this time? What did you hear? Would you like to say it?"

"But... Japan already..." I can't figure out why Master asked this, and Quan Ying turned her head to guess what Master meant.

"Even though the land is sinking, there are still things left behind... It doesn't matter, Master wants to hear everything you have ever experienced, so please feel free to say it!"

Quan Ying suddenly realized that Master responded to her request in this way. I didn't want to hear about the progress of martial arts of a group of younger generations, nor did I want to know the results of the old enemy Shiro Amakusa, but just want to hear her narration of the journey to Japan.

Don’t hesitate anymore, Quan Ying didn’t ask, why the master left herself at Beimen Tianguan that day, and left alone, just sitting down in the ice cave with a smile, talking about what happened during her trip to Japan What you see.

Although the temperature in the cave is extremely low and chilling, Quan Ying feels a touch of warmth. Looking back, I’m afraid I’ve never been so warm here in the past. I always sit on the ice alone, listen to Master’s teachings, or meditate. I’ve never talked to Master like this, talking and laughing.

When talking about the love affair with Husband Lancelot, Master seemed to be noncommittal. This was an expected response, but there was some emotion. After all, if even Master had such an attitude, I really couldn’t think of repaying it. Any elders who are willing to bless their choices and marriages.

"...So, that's probably it. Before I rise to Longshan, I hope to see you, Master."

After not a short period of time, Quan Ying finished what she had to say, like a daughter who had not been out of the cabinet for a long time, returned to her parents’ house, and talked to her father. This feeling is quite novel, and the overall atmosphere is also very good. However, in the end, you have to face something that hurts people's hearts.

"Are you...don't you do it?"

"Why do you want to do it?"

"Really? In your eyes, am I not an abominable old man who blindly obeys justice and does not put anyone in his eyes for his own conviction? Isn't such a bad old man worth resisting?"

A voice came from behind the ice wall, "I left you seriously injured at the North Gate Tianguan, letting you face the danger of life and death alone, do you have no resentment against me?"

Quan Ying has thought about this matter many times. Before this moment, she was not even sure how she would answer it until now.

"I have been dissatisfied, even...hate, on the way here, I really want to ask Master you, I am your apprentice, and I have never been disrespectful to Master, why do I need help most? When will you abandon me?"

Quan Ying took a breath and said, "However, just after speaking with you, Master, I suddenly felt calm. Bailudong's teaching is based on Confucianism, but in your heart, it should be based on the law. For the bone, Confucianism as the body?

Through training and life-and-death struggle, you can increase your disciple’s abilities. You are a talent who has passed through the Kyushu War. Therefore, I hope that your disciple will have the same experience as you, and then grow up to your martial arts realm. Right? "

"You have gone through the experience of the Beimen Tianguan. Both martial arts and spirit have grown. This is exactly what I expected. After the Battle of Kyushu, the new generation of the human world has no real talents. This is all Because it is too peaceful and lacks enough life and death training."

Lu Youdao: "Since you enter my door wall, how can you be as good as those vulgar generations? I hope that my disciples will have more achievements than mine, so I will never let you escape the opportunity of tempering. If you treat me If you have any dissatisfaction, imagine using your strength to seek justice like your fifth brother, then just let it go."

As expected, Quan Ying heard these words that she had been mentally prepared for.

According to her understanding, it seems that most male martial artists have such a concept that they use life and death to be eliminated. If it is not the fittest who can survive, then grace and affection do not exist. In the troubled times where there are frequent struggles, entrusting emotions to people with insufficient strength will only make oneself suffer the pain of loss repeatedly.

However, why do these people never think about the party being tested? I can pass the test and survive such a dangerous situation. It is the best situation to advance martial arts, but as long as I make a mistake, I die at the Beimen Tianguan. At that time, for the master, my life was another. What is it? Is it an inferior product that was abandoned because of failure? Will there be examples of failures when teaching other disciples in the future?

Quan Ying doesn’t think that Master is completely cold-blooded and ruthless towards herself, but he is used to putting "great righteousness" on the relationship between master and apprentice. The lion cub pushes down the cliff to have a day of roaring vigorously.

He doesn't care how his disciple sees himself, nor does he care if the master and disciple will turn against each other. A master should care more about his disciple's accomplishments than his discipleship. As long as the disciple becomes talented, even if he finally rebels against the master, it doesn't matter. In fact, disciples who are determined to defeat the master are often more able to inspire their own talent and fighting spirit and gain a strong motivation for progress.

Thinking of this, Quan Ying suddenly had a hint of enlightenment.

"Master, the reason why the fifth brother betrayed Bailu Cave...is it...is it..."

The trembling voice of doubt is not because of intellectual uncertainty, but emotional reluctance to admit it, but this little struggle quickly loses its meaning.

"Yes, although he doesn't belong to Bailudong, but Yuer is still better than me in martial arts. The Continent of Wind can be such a strong man, and it is comforting to be a teacher."

I didn't say it very clearly, but the pride in the tone was already very clear.

In the past, I couldn’t help curiosity. When I read the poems of the fifth brother Li Yu in Bailu Cave, Quan Ying always found it strange when he thought about his human temperament. After actually meeting with Li Yu, the confusion became even greater. It is expanded to nothing to add.

In terms of personality, the five brothers' loyalty to the master and the respect and love to the master and the brothers that day are probably far worse than himself. In terms of talent, he is a genius in the sword that even a master can't think of. He is also a prince. He has an unlimited future. He will definitely promote Bailudong martial arts to a new level in the future, and he is a talent that should be kept high.

With the power and status of Bailudong in El Tienor, there is no need to please the royal family anymore. Quan Ying can’t understand why the second brother Gong Jin obeyed El Tienno’s order and destroyed the kingdom of Tang. The fifth brother was almost alive, so he rebelled against his teacher, and became a confidant of Bailudong's confidant.

In addition to these, Quan Ying is even more puzzled. Since the five brothers are already deadly enemies, when the fifth brothers fought the rivers and lakes and were seriously injured and fled, why didn't Bailudong take the opportunity to eradicate this number one enemy? Furthermore, it is said that the fifth senior brother once fought with the master and left with a disastrous defeat. If the master made a heavy-handed killing at that time, the situation will be completely different now.

Now I can see it very clearly. The whole thing is the "hardening" process arranged by Master for the fifth brother. The result seems to satisfy the teacher, but this method will never agree with it.

"Gong Jin is the only one among the disciples who can understand my thoughts, and faithfully carry out the work that I have assigned. Only in this matter, he takes all the responsibility. If not, Yu'er's anger will be directed. Bailudong is a good thing for Yuer and Bailudong itself."

What's the good thing? Quan Ying knew that she couldn't keep in step with her master. Although she was as close as a father and daughter, there were times when she couldn't go the same way.

"When I passed the Beimen Tianguan site, I heard someone mention that the three sages had a secret agreement. Some time after the Kyushu War, I wanted to let the world fall into turmoil again, and cultivate enough to resist in the troubled times. The excellent talents of the demons come back."

Quan Ying shook her head and smiled and said: "I wanted to check this with Master, but it doesn't seem necessary. Although I want to say something for those involved in troubled times, you probably won't listen, so, I have a question for you."

"What else do you want to know?"

"If my original illness has not been cured, I can't practice martial arts, and I am always just a weak woman, then, is this me still your disciple?"

The incomprehensible question caused Lu You's voice for a while before it came from behind the ice wall.

"...Although this does not meet my expectations of my disciples, but if this is your inevitable life, then you are still my disciple, you can take shelter in Bailu Cave, as long as I am still there, there is nothing People can hurt you."

"This is enough. You are my master. Although I disagree with your teaching guidelines, I can't make any criticisms. Thank you Master for your tolerance."

Quan Ying bowed and bowed to the ice wall, then stood up and smiled and said: "When you let go at Beimen Tianguan, did you expect that I would return to this ice cave one day to face you with a sword? However, there are no absolutes in the world. When I return to Bailu Cave this time, I just want to tell you that I have no resentment towards you and want to come... This may be the best resistance to you."
