Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 5: Lifetime Alliance Nine

Huangyuefang, Mingkeli.

Dusk was approaching, and the jade shop was empty. The jade worker walked through the large jade wares with a duster in his hand, gently dusting off the floating dust.

The curtain slammed, and he raised his head and opened his dizzy old eyes wide, and saw a young man walking in. A silver chrysanthemum military emblem hung from his shoulders, and his body was armored with black iron scales. Yu Gong suddenly raised his caution. The silver chrysanthemum emblem is a general. Considering the age of the guest, his rank is not low, and that dace armor is only equipped by the cavalry of the imperial army. Hungry Tiger is not much better.

The young man who came in didn't look like he was here to buy jade. He stopped when he met the big wine-red jade sea, his eyes were a little dazed, and he scanned the dazzling array of Guibi Huangzhang. His head was disheveled, his face was covered with sweat, the neckline of his armor was half-opened, and his scarf was crooked, as if he had just returned from a drill.

Yugong walked to him with a smile: "Guest, we are closing the door, so pick out anything you like."

Far from the vigor that a forbidden army boy should have, the young man nodded embarrassingly, and walked into the jade pile without looking at the jade craftsman.

Yugong is a person who has seen the world, so he is relieved, still turning around to dust off the dust. The setting sun faded little by little, and when it was time to hold the candles, Yugong turned around and wanted to go to the cabinet to get the candlesticks, and was taken aback. The young man followed behind him without saying a word for an unknown how long. When he looked closely, the young man's eyes were pure black, as dark as ink.

The young man scratched his already messy head: "Does it scare you? I... I wanted to find something, but I couldn't find it."

The jade worker had calmed down at this time, and smiled: "No, the color of the guest's eyes is special, which reminds me of a kind of jade called 'Ink Gallbladder'. I saw a piece of stone when I was young. Under the scorching sun, it was only pure black without any blemishes, just like a pool of thick ink. I have never seen a second piece in my life...too much, what is the guest looking for?"

"It's a jade ring," the young man circled a *** with his hand for comparison, "it's about this big, and it's green."

He hesitated again, compared to a smaller one: "Probably not that big, only this big."

The jade worker laughed: "The guest is joking. Yuhuan is a worthless thing. A big shop doesn't grind hundreds of them every month? My shop is small, and I still grind more than a dozen of them every month. The color is blue, white, green, red and yellow, and green is the most, so I can't find it. Has the customer ever met me?" The young man shook his head: "I haven't seen it before, so I don't know what it is. Yes A friend of mine said that I saw it here, probably in mid-February.”

"I'm afraid that the jade that I fancy in the middle of February is gone. This kind of little thing is selling fast."

"Really..." The young man showed a disappointed expression.

Yugong's heart moved slightly: "I remember, the guest wait for me."

When he came out from behind again, he was holding a tallow candle and an exquisite lacquered wooden box in his hand. When the box was opened by candlelight, the young man took a low breath. A touch of deep blue rose in the candlelight like the color of water, the green was black, and a jade ring lay in the heavy crimson brocade. The jade worker picked up the jade ring and rotated it with his fingers. Sometimes it looked clear and transparent, and sometimes it was extremely dark green, like the dark blue used by girls for thrush eyebrows.

"Yes! That's it!" The young man took Yuhuan and stroked it, loving it.

"It's lucky that there are so many discerning guests who have taken a fancy to this snake jade." The experienced jade craftsman praised the guests calmly.

"How much?"

"Two hundred and fifty gold baht."

"Two hundred and fifty gold bahts?!" The young man was stunned for a moment, "I asked around, and Yuhuan only sells for dozens of gold bahts elsewhere, which is already the most expensive!"

"The quality of jade is good or bad. Snake jade with jade eyes is something that you can't come across. Among the stones I've seen, this one is also the best. Two hundred and fifty pieces, it's really not bad. Expensive. In fact, if it is cheap, it will be easy to sell, and it will not be kept today."

The young man clutched the jade ring in silence, his thick black eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth also tensed up, sharp and lively.

Yugong almost blurted out that it would be fifty gold baht cheaper, but he held back. He glanced at the whole body of the young man, it didn't look like he was carrying two hundred gold baht. General Ya is just a low-ranking officer. If he only takes military pay, it will only cost four or five gold baht a month. It seems that young people still haven't learned the money tricks that are common among teenagers in the Forbidden Army. In this case, even two hundred gold baht would only embarrass him even more.

After a long time, the young man put the jade ring back into the box as if holding something heavy. He didn't say goodbye, just turned and left.

"This one is expensive, and there are other items in the back, do you want to see it?" Yu Gong asked after him.

The young man half turned around and shook his head: "I will be back."

"Your Highness, are you ready?" Yi Tianzhan's deep voice came from outside the door.

Yu Ran slowly covered her face with the silver silk net covered with sterling silver star orchids, and pushed open the door.

At that moment, Yi Tianzhan felt that the moonlight was not shining from the top of his head, but pouring out from the hut. He could barely recognize the girl he had brought up since he was a child. There was moonlight flowing on her long white dress, which flowed into every fold like water. Her bare shoulders had an ivory-like texture wrapped around engraved Armbands with Miluo star pattern. The golden hair is bundled up high and held down by a sterling silver winged crown. Her face is covered with a silver net. Between the nets, countless sterling silver star orchids shine like stars, making it impossible to see. I don't know what she looks like.

"Gu Mo, I'm ready." Yu Ran's voice was calm.

Yi Tianzhan leaned on a spear in his hand, half kneeled and lowered his head respectfully. This is his proper etiquette, but it is not entirely out of etiquette. After many years, he saw a person in such attire standing under the moonlight again, and his long-lost feeling about his hometown revived. He felt that he could smell the fragrance of camphor wood mixed with soil in the Ningzhou forest again. He had an illusion in a trance, as if when he was a child, he looked up to the sky and saw the tallest treetop of Teclis, the saint in white clothes singing a cappella. At that time, the silence was like the moment when the heaven and the earth first opened, and then everyone worshiped with tears. He fell down, but he stood there blankly, holding his little bow and arrow tightly, vowing to defend everything.

"Goomo."

Ying Tianzhan came back to his senses and stretched out his arms.

In the middle of the small and simple courtyard, a three-story square platform was built with green camphor logs, which was as tall as a person.

Yu Ran supported Yi Tianzhan's arm and climbed up slowly. She spread out her huge skirt, knelt and sat on the cushion in the middle, lowered her head, and Yi Tianzhan stood in front of the wooden platform, gently clapped hands.

The door of the yard opened silently, and a slender figure stood there, and the moonlight illuminated his long white hair as brilliant as silver. He approached expressionlessly, with a green bow and a gorgeous lacquered wood armor on his body, with his right hand tightly pressing on his chest.

Yi Tianzhan bowed to Yuran and saluted: "Your Highness, this is the emissary from my hometown I told you about, Yihan from the Stark city-state."

"Stark city-state, Yihan Volko Stark." Yihan half-kneeled solemnly.

"Samurai from my hometown," Yu Ran's voice was far from her usual cheerfulness, it seemed empty and cold, "Did you come here from a far away place, did you have the courage and determination to defend the glory of Teclis?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness! We traveled across the entire land and finally found you. I dedicate all of Hexue's loyalty to you, even my life!" Yihan replied respectfully, "I pray that Obtaining your blessing, in the war-torn era, every Hexue regards it as his precious honor to be able to receive the blessing of Teclisji Valkyrie."

"You come up."

Yihan stepped onto the wooden platform with his head down, and he knelt down on his knees instead, closing his eyes.

Yu Ran was silent for a while, then gently put his hands on top of his head: "Children of God, God cherishes you like his own eyes. If you want to travel far, just look up, there is God's kiss in the wind On your forehead."

She lifts the knot on her face, and gently kisses Yihan's forehead. At that moment, she was surprised to find that the skin of this silent young man was hot, burning her lips.

Yu Ran covered the net again, and resumed her upright sitting posture. Yihan still closed his eyes tightly, he trembled slightly, and suddenly knocked hard.

"I've been searching for two years! I've been searching for two years! I've finally found it!" His voice was trembling and passionate, "I fled Stark city-state like a bird shot through its wings. They killed my unmarried wife and my mother, they wanted me to go back, but I didn't look back, they killed them! I lost everything, but I firmly believe that I will return to Ningzhou with the news of Ji Wushen, bring back Our last hope!"

"I finally found it! I found it!" There was a cry in his voice, he raised his head and raised his hands to the clear starry sky, "O gods of the stars above my head, thank you for your gifts, Give our Yuzu a future!"

The noble and brave Hexue warrior just lay down on the green camphor platform and wept bitterly.

Ying Tianzhan went up and patted him on the shoulder: "Stand up kid, you have seen the glory of Teclis Temple, what else is worth your sorrow?"

Yihan wiped away his tears, followed him back under the wooden platform, and sat on the cushion. He lowered his head and worked hard for a long time before finally restraining the bitter tears. He raised his head again, and found that the princess sitting on the wooden platform was looking at him through a layer of silver silk. He couldn't see the princess's face clearly, but he felt her curious eyes. He suddenly remembered that this was only a sixteen-year-old girl after all, and his face turned slightly red.

"How is your hometown?" Yi Tianzhan asked.

"The cypress disappeared from its ground, and the weeds took the place of the lofty cypress. The annual tree of Ziglin has been surrounded by fire, and the forest in his hometown is full of thick smoke." Yihan sighed, "The Emperor Yu now No longer a symbol of loftiness, all the city-states ignored his orders, and the entire Ningzhou has become a battlefield. And the former noble warrior Hexue has become a killer flying in the sky."

He stood up again and bowed to Yu Ran: "Your Highness, my hometown needs Ji Wushen's singing!"
