Novoland: Eagle Flag: seven

With a "squeak", Ximen pushed open the door of the guest room. She likes to live alone, so it was a single room.

It was quiet and there was no ***.

It is already late at night, and it seems that the guests of the inn are all asleep. Ximen closed the door and stood quietly in the darkness, only the starlight shone through the window beside him, and in the starlight there was hidden God's will for the future.

Wearing this black robe, Ximen has been chasing the will of the gods in the starry sky for a full hundred and twenty years, and it has been a long time since he left the ancient temple in the forest of Ningzhou. Walking alone with a package on her back, looking at the sun and the smoke, Ximen's heart has always been very quiet, just like her name. She has never been alone or lonely, because she understands the meaning of fate better than anyone else, and knows that she is so small under the vast starry sky, and loneliness and loneliness are just small feelings for a moment.

"All life is buried in layers of sand until it sinks to the deepest part of the earth. All emotions disappear with life. A powerful and mysterious creature like a dragon is finally a bone. People who once sang Die with his song, the once angry hero sleeps with his anger, the once weeping princess knows no more sorrow, life is a beautiful joke," Simon's teacher once said.

Ximen has already forgotten the expression on the teacher's face when he said this, maybe it was ridicule, maybe it was understanding, and of course it might be a little desolate, after all, as a feathered man, the teacher couldn't get rid of his own attachment and chose to die in the end.

"Why study the stars?" Simon asked himself.

She doesn't know. She wants to penetrate the secrets of this world, but she knows that even if she penetrates, she is still powerless to this world. All races are weak in front of nature. Among the people she has met, only Hime Ye has that kind of strong and even arrogant will. When Ji Ye was holding her in one hand and waving a spear in the other, he charged across the enemy line, Ximen also impulsively thought that this warrior could really change the will of the stars and construct the future he wanted.

Suddenly a little hot. Thinking of Ji Ye hugging him, Ximen felt a heat flow in his body. She had never felt this way, not at all in a hundred and twenty years.

Ximen suddenly pulled out a silver needle from the ribbon on his wrist and pierced it into the back of his hand.

The pain brought her back to life. This has been a habit for many years. Once she can't concentrate, she will lightly **** the back of her hand with a silver needle. But this time the silver needle pierced deeply, because she was too flustered, and her heart had never been so chaotic before.

Wiping off the blood, Ximen walked through the corridor to the night watchman at the entrance of the inn: "Buy me a ticket for a big bus, the sooner the better, go to Hengyu City."

Three days later.

"Hey, when will it be?" The passengers in the distance began to get restless.

"Why does the Chamber of Commerce do this? There is no credibility."

Wanzhou is the most prosperous place for business, and there are carts hosted by the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce between major cities. People who travel alone do not need to bring carriages and horses, as long as they spend a small amount of money to buy a big ticket, the paulownia cart will take the guests to the destination on time. Although it is a bit crowded and not so clean, but with Ximen's meager travel expenses, this is already the best choice. Fortunately, she is not very picky.

The late-night carts should have left an hour ago, but after Qinyang was surrounded by the army of the Three Kingdoms to encircle and suppress Ji Ye, the carts entering and exiting had to inform the Three Kingdoms blockade post, and the cart driver went. Did not come back for a long time.

Simon stood on the city wall, carrying her little bundle. Inside is the most secret code of astrology "Amano Fenhuang Scroll", and then there are dozens of counting chips, a few small astrolabes, and a little bread for clothes. She walks around with these all the time, not knowing where it will eventually stop.

She looked at the south aimlessly, and in three days she would arrive at Hengyu City there, and then she would go to Nanhuai in Xiatang. And Ji Ye and the others will end up in Qinyang forever according to their star destiny.

Simon has calculated many times, but the result is always the same. The demise of this exiled corps is inevitable.

Ximen can't do much, but she is standing here now, but she can't help but think about Ji Ye, the handsome aristocratic mystic next to him, and the beautiful Yuren girl, and even Long Xiang's face. I remembered that scar, and it was very clear in my mind.

Thinking of those people laughing together, a faint smile appeared on Ximen's lips.

"Who is it?" The Chamber of Commerce warrior at the city gate seemed to shout.

"We are warriors, stationed in the camp in Beicheng, this is the token of access permission."

There was a sound under the gate of the city, and the warriors of the chamber of commerce seemed to have checked the tokens, allowing the returning warriors to enter.

The camp in Beicheng was rented by the Chamber of Commerce to Hime Ye and the others, and the samurai of Hime Yebe often went out to rob the supplies of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, so it was not surprising that they returned late. The Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce also upholds the consistent tradition. The wild samurai group can come in and out at will, but the armies of the princes must obtain permission to pass.

Ximen lowered his head and took a look. It was not Ji Ye who was leading the team. Dozens of cavalry marched into the city in a loose team.

Looking away, Simon frowned. She always felt a little weird, but she couldn't remember why it was weird.

"Are you too tired?" Ximen laughed at himself. She couldn't sleep well some days.

"Get on the car, get on the car," the coachman also came back behind the cavalry, and shouted loudly, "Who will take the car to Hengyu?"

Ximen squeezed onto the cart with all kinds of people. The cart is very poorly ventilated, and everyone wants a seat near the door, or a seat near the front, otherwise, a long cart with eight horses will bump to death if it goes too fast.

The moment I stepped on the pedal, the shadow in my heart seemed to be pierced by a bolt of lightning. Simon suddenly remembered something, she looked up in the direction the cavalry were leaving, and blurted out: "A maroon horse!"

In the incense stack.

Yu Ran took care of Lu Guichen who was still weak, and Long Xiang was teasing his monkey. Meanwhile, Ji Ye stood in front of the sand table made by Xiang Kongyue, analyzing the terrain around Qinyang. For ordinary people, it seems that it takes a small team of people to investigate for three to five days to make this kind of strategic sand table realistic. But for Xiang Kongyue, his memory is unbelievably strong.

Just go to the watchtower and the surrounding walls, come back and get some moist fine sand, squeeze it, and then use ice to freeze the sand. You don’t have to keep it after you use it up once, Xiang Kongyue will make a new one next time.

"Breakout is very difficult," Ji Ye calculated the distance and the enemy's deployment, "it should be Bai Yibu's formation, and the number one general of Chu Wei is not just kidding."

"There are not enough war horses, so breaking through is of course difficult." Xiang Kongyue glanced at Lu Guichen, "Unless he can enter that state and cooperate with my fire skills to hold the enemy back, then we can probably escape most of them." ?”

Ji Ye shook his head: "Then both of you will die."

Xiang Kongyue shrugged her shoulders and smiled calmly: "I don't want to die, I'm just talking."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "I am Yuan Yin."

"Yuan Yin?" Ji Ye glanced at Xiang Kongyue, "Why did he come here?"

Yu Ran was about to open the door when Long Xiang, who was playing with monkeys, suddenly pulled her to cover her back.

"Wait for me to open the door." Long Xiang's face was blue and cold, but his voice was still smiling.

Xiang Kongyue and Long Xiang glanced at each other, stared at Ji Ye for a while, and pointed at Lu Guichen. Ji Ye's footsteps were as light as a cat's, and he had already set up Lu Guichen with a shield in one arm. Long Xiang's sword and Ji Ye's spear were already in hand, Xiang Kongyue's fingers condensed about five inches of ice blade, and slowly approached the door.

What Long Xiang noticed was the abnormality of the voice. Assassins have a strong ability to capture the opponent's psychology. When Yuan Yin spoke, Long Xiang immediately felt that his voice was tense. But Xiang Kongyue captures the activities of the surrounding spirits. Once he concentrates, he will notice that the surrounding spirits suddenly become more active.

"Come in!" Speaking softly, Xiang Kongyue threw out the eight ice blades from his finger. What was even faster was the flames he launched. The flames carried extremely strong air currents. When the flames and air currents destroyed the wooden door, the eight ice blades pierced through the flames.

Behind the gentle and elegant smile, Xiang Kongyue has a domineering side. Once he makes a move, he must control the situation.

At this time, the whole house suddenly collapsed!

Simen is relatively small and can't run fast. When she arrived at Xiangzhan, she was already sweating profusely.

But the deserted incense store made the heat in her whole body turn into ice cold.

At this time, there should be absolutely no one in the incense inn, but in fact, the entire incense inn suddenly disappeared, even including the guy who nodded and bowed at the door all the time. There was deathly silence around, there were still food and wine on the table, and the candlesticks were still warm. But the people who eat the food are gone, and all the candlesticks have been extinguished.

Ximen ran away from the guest room behind the incense inn. In a corner in the darkness, a pair of sharp knife-like eyes chased her figure, with a faint metallic luster flashing. Eventually, Sombra slowly withdrew his weapon.

The astrologer didn't know that his own life and death were on the line at that moment.

"The sky is not bad tonight, Long Xiang," the black shadow moved out of the incense inn strangely, paused a little on the long street to look up at the sky, "but it's not like the weather for killing people."

In the slightly hoarse laughter, the shadow disappeared.

Ximen stayed in the darkness, hiding by the wooden screen to watch the movement outside. Even when she was in a panic, she was much calmer than ordinary people, the stars outside were clear, as long as people standing outside in the dark couldn't see her, but she could see people outside.

There are more than a hundred warriors in full armor outside, and in the courtyard, it seems that the leading warrior is holding a huge shield to cover himself, and more than 50 other warriors set up hard crossbows on the surrounding favorable terrain , and the rest held close-fitting weapons such as swords and defended beside the crossbowmen. That kind of hard crossbow scared Ximen, and she didn't know much about weapons. That kind of three-arrow crossbow with an open string of 160 catties was already the most powerful among the crossbows of the Eastern Lu armies. The strength is enough to penetrate all cavalry armor at a distance of one hundred steps. The arrows of the triangular pyramid shone with a blue light, which was undoubtedly poisonous.

Himino and the others were surrounded by one hundred and fifty poisonous arrows. The house has already collapsed, because the enemy has already destroyed the tenon of the girder and installed the mechanism. As long as they pull the copper wire, the entire girder will fall down, and the house will be destroyed. Fortunately, Long Xiang's reaction was faster than ordinary people's imagination. At that moment, he pulled Yu with one hand and then pushed Xiang Kongyue away with the other. And Ji Ye used the copper shield to deflect the falling rafters, and saved Lu Guichen who was weak.

"Yuan Yin," Ji Ye's voice was still calm, "How long have you been preparing to betray us?"

"Three months..." Under the pressure of Ji Ye, Yuan Yin couldn't help answering this question.

The ones that Yuan Yin brought into Qinyang with tokens were fifty crossbowmen from Chu Wei, together with the warriors who rebelled with him, there were a total of one hundred and sixty people. It was Bai Yi who arranged this plan, but Bai Yi himself did not participate in this action, because he did not trust Yuan Yin enough to risk his life. The captain of the strong crossbowman gave Yuan Yin a cold look, and Yuan Yin forced himself to calm down: "Ji Ye, don't blame us, an arrogant person like you can only let us die with you, we have no such plan! "

"I don't blame you," Ji Ye's voice became colder, "Those who follow me are my friends, and those who betray me are my enemies. I won't blame the enemies, just kill them!"

Yuan Yin believed that Ji Ye was holding on, but the clear murderous intent in his words still made him afraid.

"I just want to ask you," Himeno glanced at the other betrayed warriors, "are you really determined to give up the ideal of heaven drive?"

The warriors looked at each other anxiously, but no one answered.

"There is nothing wrong with not wanting to follow the ideal of Tianqi. It is a pity that you did not choose to escape, and you want to kill me. I have no choice." Ji Ye handed the copper shield and Lu Guichen together Long Xiang behind him slowly drew his spear.

This move shocked everyone. Ji Ye has always held a copper shield in front of everyone, and that shield is also the only nemesis of the crossbowmen. In fact, the rain of 150 crossbow arrows was not without gaps. If Ji Ye could block part of it with his shield, and rely on his heavy cavalry armor, he might not be able to avoid the first round of arrow rain. But Ji Ye actually gave up that shield, and still stood in front of everyone. He had completely exposed himself to the poisonous arrows, and he opened his teeth as always, his body was like a hard bow that was slowly tightened.

There was nothing to stop the crossbowmen from shooting at Himeno, only the momentum contained in the posture of holding the gun made them afraid.

"Even if you shoot him dead, he will kill Yuan Yin on the other side..." the captain of the Arrowhead said in his heart. Of course, he didn't care, the traitor Yuan Yin was not important to Bai Yi, it would be more convenient to die. Bai Yi didn't have any affection for cowardly warriors.

Yuan Yin retreated step by step in horror, but Huya's spear had already aimed at him. The surrounding samurai were all avoiding Yuan Yin, Ji Ye became the target of crossbow arrows, and he became the target of Huya.

"Ji Ye, come back! Are you crazy?" Yu Ran wanted to step forward, but was held back by Long Xiang.

"I will charge forward, and you will retreat," Ji Ye's voice was so low that only a few people behind him could hear, "Xiang Kongyue's Water Bloom Seal and Long Xiang's shield block it together Those arrows, when they reload the arrows, Xiang Kongyue, you should have a chance to kill half of the crossbowmen, right?"

"Half?" Xiang Kongyue nodded, "You can try."

"What should you do?" Yu Ran had an ominous premonition in her heart, she couldn't suppress her voice no matter what, she almost shouted out.

Yu Ran's voice was crying, and everyone could hear it clearly. The captain of the crossbowmen sneered, and he was sure that Ji Ye was going to use himself to attract the attention of the crossbowmen and let the rest escape. But can you really escape? No one could have imagined the loading speed of the three-arrow crossbow designed by Bai Yi himself.

"Everyone said that none of the leaders of Tianzhu died on the bed," Ji Ye laughed softly, "I also think I won't be luckier than them."

Jime Yebo's gun movement has been completed, and he took a deep breath for the last time.

"It turns out that she died like this, that little girl's fate is really accurate," the extremely fierce gun exploded, breaking through Ji Ye's last self-mockery. The howling sound from the spear point was like thunder, and Ugin suddenly appeared in the thunder.

"Shoot!" The captain waved down the command flag.

The warriors almost pushed Yuan Yin out. Everyone believed that Ji Ye would kill someone even if he died, so Yuan Yin was the best candidate to appease his resentment.

It's still the same kind of gun, even if it's the last shot before death, it's still that kind of domineering and arrogant gun, to change the future stabbing. Tens of thousands of arrows rushed towards Tianqi's collar, and an inexplicable will burned in his heart. These people who don't know the destiny of the stars but only know the courage, they believe that their hands can construct a new world - a new world!

During that shot, Ximen saw Ji Ye outside Qinyang City, Ji Ye on the long street in the middle of the night, and the cavalry in black armor led her towards the crowd. Joy welled up from the bottom of my heart, sweeping away thousands of people, I am the only one here!

Did you really watch this person die?

She hugged her arms tremblingly, and said softly: "Heh..."

Not a single arrow shot out. Huya easily penetrated the giant shield in Yuan Yin's hand and assassinated him. The captain's command flag stopped in mid-air.

It's not that the crossbowmen don't want to move, but a kind of force seems to run through their bodies like countless silk threads, and they can't move at all, even if their fingers are already on the trigger of the crossbow. They knew where that power came from, but in this small courtyard, that power was everywhere.

Himino and the others also received the pull of this force, but the effect was not so strong. Xiang Kongyue looked up at the stars all over the sky, and said in a low voice, "The array of stars..."

A girl in a black robe stepped out of the darkness, and the evening wind blew her snow-white head.

"I can only seal them for a moment," Simon said, "Now do it!"

An internal rebellion reduced the number of this group of rogues by more than a hundred, but Hime Ye and the others finally found a new joiner——Ximen Yejing.

Xiang Kongyue spread out the scroll in front of the table, which contained news from the princes sent by the chamber of commerce. Looking at it, a sneer appeared on his lips.

"You always smile insidiously, don't you know it?" Long Xiang said beside him.

"As a wise and well-informed military adviser, if you smile very honestly, you will really feel ashamed," Xiang Kongyue still smiled slyly.

"Sure enough, our astrologer's prophecy did not come true. Li Guo's status is worrying, and the lord of the country, Ying Wuyi, has been seriously ill recently. Various forces in Li country are starting to compete. I hope that the prince I support can inherit Li Gong's position. As a result, sixteen people were exterminated, and countless people were imprisoned. Now it is Lei Bicheng, a foreign national teacher, who has taken power," Xiang Kongyue handed the scroll to Ximen who was watching the rain by the window.

Ximen didn't answer: "It's not surprising, the main star of Liguo Xingye is dim, the stars are scattered, and a meteor rushes in and dies.

This astrology couldn't be simpler. "

"Really so accurate?" Long Xiang made a grimace, "But Master, you said that we are going to be destroyed, didn't we also narrowly escaped death?"

"No," Xiang Kongyue waved his hand, "In fact, in the so-called astrology, the most difficult law to break through is that you can't calculate yourself. No one can calculate their own destiny. The less the matter has to do with oneself, the less the result of the calculation will be." The more accurate it is. When Simon made that calculation, it was still accurate, and we will surely suffer the fate of destruction."

"Huh?" Long Xiang was a little taken aback.

"But when she used the Star Formation to block those people, this fate has already started to be related to her. So her calculations are no longer accurate. The most important thing is that the calculation of astrology is as still as water. Heart..."

Xiang Kongyue glanced at Ximen with smiling eyes: "But the person who calculates has his heart moved at a certain moment, right?"

Yu Ran's voice came from the next door again: "Write silently again, why are you so stupid?" There seemed to be a movement of her hitting Ji Ye's head with a book.

"In such a long poem, it is always inevitable to make a few typos..." Ji Ye argued helplessly.

Himeno feels that his mastery of poetry is already good among outstanding warriors, but it seems that he will never be able to meet the requirements of his teacher Yuran, and Himeno has nothing to do about it.

Xiang Kongyue turned her head to look at Ximen, the girl silently looked out the window without any expression.

In April of the second year of King Yincheng, Ximen Yejing, a generation of famous astrologers sent by Huangji Jingtian, became a member of the Unnamed Exiled Corps.

Different people, from different directions, for different goals, but finally came together. At that time, everything was just a coincidence, but looking back at the history of the Daxie Dynasty, everything seemed like fate.

If one of these six people had never come to Qinyang and never entered this group, then there would be no King Xie Yulie and Duke Zhaowu of Qingyang in history. The mainland of Kyushu may still be suffering in the Warring States Period, and the future structure of the world will be completely different.

Is there really another future? The latecomers never saw it, because after all, these six people came together to construct a new world. A little spark fell on the lamp of history at that moment, and the flame was already lit.

Historians of later generations called these six people-"Alliance in Troubled Times".

In a classical and magnificent palace.

The reliefs on the walls are very old. The entire floor of the palace is covered with a velvet carpet. There is a huge golden chrysanthemum blooming in the middle of the snow-white carpet. Numerous hand-crafted high-footed lamp stands are erected against the wall. , the whole hall is simple but graceful. The old man was covered in a blue robe with a high collar, sitting on a chair in the middle of the palace, with his eyes slightly closed as if he was in a deep sleep.

The sound of footsteps came from afar, and the visitor showed the black license token to the guard at the door, then walked carefully to a foot in front of the old man and stopped: "National Teacher..."

"Is it because Qinyang's progress is not going well?"

"Yes!" The visitor is no stranger to the foresight ability of the national teacher, "Chuwei General Bai Yi was close to success, but was destroyed by unknown people."

"Are there no movements from the people we sent?"

"A carrier pigeon came in the morning, and the other party said..."

The national teacher still closed his eyes, his snow-white eyebrows raised: "What did the other party say?"

"The other party said that when he is interested in killing people..."

"Then wait a little longer," the national teacher said flatly, "Go down."

A man came to the door, the guard just opened the door for him, but heard the national teacher say: "You go out with him, don't disturb me."

The door was quietly closed, and only the national teacher was left in Nuo Da's palace. After a long time, he got up and walked towards the palace, only then did he realize that his figure was much taller than ordinary people, and he was also extremely thin.

In the stone house behind the palace, there was a disgusting smell. The old man stroked the heavy classics on the bookshelf, and seemed to say casually: "Since this body can no longer be recovered, just throw it away, and I will find a new warrior for you."

"Yes," the voice came from behind the red curtain on one side of the stone house.

"The Huangji Jingtian Sect finally leaned towards Tianqi. It seems that we have to find allies to strengthen our strength. The forces in Kyushu should have already noticed the recovery of Tianqi, right? The real war must It's started."

"If I have a new body, I can go to Longyuan Pavilion."

"You can try it," said the national teacher, "but be careful with that person in the pavilion, and don't conflict with him."

"Yes...can I ask a question?" The voice behind the curtain hesitated.

"What?"

"What the hell...why did it start? Why did it end?"

The national teacher's hand holding the book trembled, too fast to notice: "Next time you ask this question, I will let you sink into the five abysses!"
