Shape of the Wind – Volume Meteorite Chapter 4: The old meet again

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!

Suddenly, Gong Jin’s expression changed. On the other side of the metal gate, he felt not only a sense of oppression, but also a long-lost familiarity, which was quite missed and could give him this feeling. People, one of the few in the world, is it... the one who should still be asleep?

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the one-foot-thick metal gate was shattered by an inexplicable force, and the breach was twisted and wrinkled. Even Gong Jin couldn’t see what it was, but he didn’t have time to care what it was. Wugong, because of the chic and beautiful figure that appeared at the door, has attracted all his attention.

"Have you gotten up? Have you brushed your teeth? Iron-faced ladyboy. I heard that you have become the number one treacherous dog on the Continent of Wind. Everyone is punishable... the small town that you just flew over. , There is a coffin shop in the alley of Seventh Street. The handwork seems to be very meticulous. Have you chosen your own size?"

Appeared pretty vividly at the door, slanted with the light behind him, rouge's concentrating and flying look made Gong Jin feel dazzling. At this time, many memories of fighting side by side in the past, all came to his heart, but Gong Jin But he didn't show the long-lost smile to his friends like in the past. On the one hand, Gong Jin felt the obvious hostility on Yan Ning; on the other hand, Gong Jin was not so forgetful that he would forget the last time the two met, under what circumstances.

"It's been almost ten years. In the past nine years...Did you sleep well?"

"It’s not bad. Apart from wanting to get up and pee all the time, I just have the same dreams over and over again, cutting you and the old man into pieces again and again in the dreams, and then swear that if one day I can wake up, Thank you very much."

Yin Ning sneered and looked at Gong Jin. The expression in her eyes that still contained a smile gradually turned cold, staring at the deceased who had caused her to sleep for nine years.

After the Ghost-Barbarian Rebellion ended, Su Laotang's forces fell and collapsed, Yan Ding made a heavy investment at Bailu Cave. Although she and Gong Jin had a lot of opportunities to meet each other, they used to be so friendly because of their incomprehension. A pair of confidantes gradually came to an end, and they just passed by.

As the head of Bailudong, Yan Ning didn't do anything for Bailudong. Most of the time, he just pushed the robot out, letting his stand-in serve as a nagging model, shutting himself in the room, as before. Smoke, looking at the curling white smoke in thought.

This situation has finally changed after the Tang State incident. After learning about what Gong Jin had done to the fifth junior brother Li Yu, Yan Ning, who had always been depressed and indifferent to the world, became furious. He questioned Gong Jin and denounced that his submission to Bailu Cave and El Tienol had reached the point of extinction of humanity. , Asked him to stop immediately and make up for the damage caused.

Of course, this matter was rejected by Gong Jin. Yan Ning, who was still holding a glimmer of hope for her friends, gave up on this, and there was no reason to stay in Bailudong, so she left her book and resigned from her position as head, and ran away angrily. The "Bailudong Headmaster's Going Off the Wild Incident" that smashed the rivers and lakes.

The matter could be resolved like this, but shortly after leaving Bailu Cave and returning to Wu Lian, Yan Ning received a letter from Gong Jin and asked her to meet him on Huaguo Mountain. The location was the old Gong Jin, Yan Ning, Under the ginkgo tree that Xiao Qiao planted together.

No doubt that Yan Ning has him, and there is something to tell Gong Jin, he left the secluded forest and headed to the top of Huaguo Mountain, but unexpectedly was ambushed on the road, hit a few palms, and finally vomited blood to break through, and rushed there. On Huaguo Mountain, I saw Gong Jin before she had time to say anything. He waited for Gong Jin to do a secret calculation and subdued Yan Ning in one fell swoop. She was frozen in a coffin with Oriental Immortality, buried in the ground, and let Feng Zhi There has never been a figure like Tao Yanning on the mainland.

"At that time, I always wanted to ask you, why did you do it to me?"

"The reason should be very clear. You have been the head of Bailudong, and used to be a hunter who was responsible for handling assassinations. You know too much about the shady of Bailudong. Once you betray the teacher, Bailu Cave will never let a person like you live."

"So you do it yourself? Is it because the teacher can look down on me, or do you take the initiative to fight the old man? Zhou Gongjin, you hypocrite, you have been wearing a mask from before to now. The old man is dead, you How much responsibility do you want to bear for him?"

Even at the moment of being knocked down and sealed, Yan Ning still didn't believe that this friend who had been with him for many years would take the initiative to attack her. In terms of the situation in Bailudong at the time, Lu You must have personally issued the extinguishment command, and Gong Jin was responsible for the implementation. It should even be Gong Jin who took the initiative to fight for Lu You, because he could also win a chance to keep the phone. Others do it, it is not just to seal the sleep, but to ensure death.

Yin Ning speculated that way, but even if she believed so, she still did not dare to ask Gong Jin for verification, because she knew that Gong Jin would only give one answer.

"After sleeping for nine years, are you dreaming and stupid? I remember you weren’t so naive before... Oh, forget it, what you have to believe in, it’s your freedom, I didn’t take you Obligation to be clear, but you came to me today not just to celebrate escaping the seal, but to ask me innocent questions!"

"Huh, it's still the same bad mouth as in the past, but what you said is correct. I really should wake up a little bit. The old man was killed by you because his head was not clear enough."

"Which time are you referring to? I killed him twice in total. Do you, a damned fellow, want to experience the same taste?"

"Huh, do you think that what happened nine years ago has a chance to happen again?"

Yan Ning let out a cold snort, her figure suddenly flashed, and in a blink of an eye she approached Gong Jin. The posture she used was very weird, and it seemed very slow, but when people would come over, she had already rushed to the front, with a strange feeling in the high speed, and did not belong to the martial arts system of Bailudong.

Gong Jin was slightly startled, first flicked his empty sleeves, slowed down the enemy's approach a little, and then pushed out with a palm. According to common sense, it is an old event that Yan Ning was sealed in the ground nine years ago. At that time, the Tang Dynasty incident had just occurred. The Continent of Wind had not yet experienced the Arambat demon shock, and the heavenly warriors had not reappeared in large numbers. Yan Ning Her martial arts did not break through the realm. The power she used to appear and break the door just now was not the power of heaven. It seemed that her cultivation level was limited and should not be difficult to deal with.

This is a basic calculation, but Gong Jin is very clear about one thing. If only the power of the boundary is alone, the heavy metal door can never be broken. Yan Ning's qualifications are originally Wuxue geniuses, and they have been sealed for nine years. , Maybe there was an amazing breakthrough, so even if Gong Jin's power is no one can match today, he didn't dare to care about the palm of his hand.

The empty sleeves were swung out, and Yan Ning was completely unaffected. Her figure was as stable as a mountain. She swung her empty sleeves apart with her body protection energy, and followed her to meet Gong Jin, and the two of them had one each. Palm, head-on and head-on.

"Touch!" With both palms fighting, Gong Jin immediately noticed the powerful palm strength coming from the mountains and the sea. The martial arts used by Yan Ning was still her best five-sacred thunder in the past, ranking third in Bailu Cave. One of the sixteen stunts, the sturdy palm, but the use of internal strength has changed more, becoming more weird and cold, causing Gong Jin to shudder coldly at the moment when his palms confronted each other.

"Heavenly power? No, this is not...this is...the magic power?"

It feels very strange, like the power of heaven, but it does not sense the movement and operation of heaven and earth’s vitality; like the cold of heaven and earth, but the characteristics of the movement are completely wrong, everything is specious, and the existing The martial arts knowledge contradicted, but it was so strong, even though Gong Jin only used 50% of his power, the opponent was obviously able to do well and was not going all out.

In this brief sense of consternation, Yan Ning made another palm, connected and slapped. When her eyes touched Gong Jin’s empty right sleeve, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes, which seemed sentimental and seemed to be. Taunting, but did not stop the offensive after all, this palm steadily deceived Gong Jin's broken arm and attacked his weakness.

Playing with one hand and two hands, Gong Jin had known that the situation was unfavorable, not waiting for Yan Ning's palm, his empty sleeve of his right hand suddenly shot out like a rain of sword air, and intensively shot at Yan Ning, covering her upper body. .

"Hey!"

Unexpectedly, Gong Jin could use his empty sleeves to exert his sword energy. Yan Ning missed the opportunity, and the distance was too close to dodge. He only received the blow abruptly and fell off in a muffled hum. The hole that broke through the door fell out. Zhai Tian's power is truly unparalleled in the world, Yan Ning still couldn't stop her retreat with such a fall, and she smashed through several heavy metal walls continuously, which stopped the continuous crashing sound.

"My dear, the ability is better than expected!"

With her palms facing each other, Gong Jin frowned slightly. At the moment when both sides clapped and Yan Ning was hit by her own sword energy, she also urged her strength wildly. The palm strength of the five-mountain divine thunder surged like a mountain torrent. At that time, he was retreating from the enemy with sword energy, and his body protection strength was slightly weaker, and he was almost destroyed by the palm of the Five Sacred Thunders.

"Good Zhou Gongjin, you have made a lot of martial arts skills in the past nine years! No wonder that even the old man was killed by you. You have a good sense."

Across a not-so-close distance, Yan Ning's laughter can be heard clearly.

"You are not the only one who got the breakthrough. Thanks to you, I have had some chances in martial arts these years and gained new strength. I have been frozen in the past nine years. I will slowly settle this account with you. Before you arrive in Zhongdu, please wait for me to appear in front of you again at any time!"

Ran Ning's long laughter moved from near to far, apparently drifting away, ending this provocation, and foretelling future actions.

With Gong Jin’s wisdom, how could he fail to see that this is Yan Ning deliberately exerting pressure on herself, trying to make herself watch out day and night, sleeping and eating, and losing 10% before a fight. Gong Jin didn't care about this kind of guerrilla warfare tricks, but Yan Ning's breaking the seal and reappearing the rivers and lakes made him... an indescribable feeling.

It’s not a bad feeling. Watching Yan Ning speak in front of her, even turning her face, some memories of the past spring up in her heart one by one, and those past events that she thought she would never remember, are now like a stream of clear spring water. Inject vitality into the withered body and mind.

The surge of energy and blood caused by the Five Sacred Thunders has calmed down, but the craze in my heart has become more and more restless.

"Oh, it's very interesting, I took your provocation... old friend."

With the inner decision, Gong Jin stood up abruptly, his cloak fluttered and trembling, and strode out of the closed room for training.

When he appeared in Zhu Yan’s command room, Zhu Yan noticed the heroic spirit in his eyes. He swept away the depression of the past few days, and his radiant expression seemed to regain his former vitality in The Hague. Wearing that cold metal mask, his body exudes heat. Although I don't know what happened to make him make such a change, it is really exciting to see him swept away.

"Master Gong Jin!"

"Needless to say, an old friend of mine is back. From now on, the vigilance on Jin'ao Island must be very careful...Forget it, if it works, she won't be bold enough to provoke her. "

Gong Jin said: "We are closely monitoring the movements of Zhongdu, I heard that His Royal Highness was just kidnapped by the Reins..."

"Yes, but we also received the news just now that His Royal Highness has escaped and has not suffered any damage. Master Gong Jin can be at ease. As for the Reins, I heard that he escaped without a trace."

"It was just a wayward commotion. With his cleverness, it would be strange if he would suffer any damage. But...we must pay attention to whether he took the opportunity to play the game this time with Reings. What kind of agreement the people have reached, so not only monitor the movements in the capital city, but also monitor all the special communications between Eltinus and Reins."

※※※

Nier, who was sent to Yansuo Chonglou, originally thought it strange. If Hulagu wanted to communicate the joint message through himself and Reins, then he should rush back to Reings as soon as possible. Rendezvous, otherwise how to convey the message?

However, after entering the Cigarette Lock Building, she quickly understood the reason. The owner of Yansuo Chonglou, like Yan Ning, is a master of mathematics in Bailu Cave, using a water mirror to send information, and the speed is faster than anything, and it saves time and effort than a trip in person.

But since Lancelow had already left Jixia, this report was passed to the Dark Magic Institute, and then passed to Lancelow by Hua Bianque.

While staying with Xu Liewu in the palace, Xu Liewu once warned that the second senior brother Zhou Gongjin must not be ignored when talking about the mathematics master in Bailu Cave. Because of a deliberate rebellion, Zhou Gongjin has always accumulated strength extensively, not only practicing martial arts, but also diligently cultivating oriental magic, so it is not difficult for him to intercept the water mirror transmission.

Although there are many magicians who can use the water mirror to communicate, and the daily water mirror conversations are quite frequent, if you want to contact Jixia from them, this kind of ultra-long-distance water mirror transmission is not an ordinary person. To do so, as long as Gong Jin intercepts such long-distance transmissions, there is no reason to find it; as for the long-distance contact of the Taigu Modao, Gong Jin now has the equipment of Jin'ao Island, which can also be steadily monitored.

In view of this, when Nier contacted Reins, she paid special attention. She simply reported that she was safe now and would soon reunite with everyone. She didn’t mention anything about the rest, she just used her brother, The secret words agreed by Xuexue, in the words to announce peace, entrained the message that "there is a newcomer who wants to join in".

When these images were passed to Lancelow, he watched his sister draw and wink on the water mirror screen. This rugged man couldn't help frowning.

"Messy, what's the matter? It's inexplicable not to say where I am. And what does this mean? Is there a newcomer who wants to join? Is she still taking a kid out of the house?"

The code word used by Nier is a sign specially agreed upon by the forty thieves in the past when committing crimes. Xue and Lancelot can see it, but they still don't know what it means. Instead, Quan Ying interpreted the message that Nier wanted to convey.

"Remember the information I just received? Nier appeared in Zhongdu, kidnapped and hijacked Eltinus Prince Xu Liewu, and escaped without a trace."

"Um...that dead upstart, a man cheating on a woman with his little white face all day long, a sissy guy, I don't allow my sister to have **** with him, do nothing!"

"Uh... this, I think this is not the point that Nier is going to talk about. She wants to tell us that the Medici family may have made a trade-off and are ready to join forces with us to attack Senior Brother Gong Jin inside and outside. ."

Checking the current situation, Quan Ying made such a conjecture. Judging from the current situation alone, Quan Ying is also very surprised, because Reins may not have much advantage on Zhan. As long as Xu Liewu and Gong Jin cooperate wholeheartedly, Reins will definitely face a tough battle. The resources and force of the country can even be exaggerated as invincible.

But Quanying understands one thing better. If there is anyone in the world who is best at predicting victory or losing, and turning the rudder by the wind, that person must be Xu Liewu.

In the Jinhua Rebellion of Wulian, although many scholars have summed up hundreds of reasons for defeat afterwards, no one dared to be sure of this at the beginning of the war, and it is also difficult to predict that the lone army led by Wang Wu would be able to defeat Kubi in an all-round way. The powerful coalition forces.

From this choice, we can see Xu Liewu's vision, and he has never missed his subsequent judgment. After taking up the position of right minister of Reins, Quan Ying thought about secretly sending a letter to Xu Liewu to win the support of the Medici family and work together to eliminate the threat of Brother Gong Jin, but she was not sure that she could convince the Sixth Brother. , And never thought that the other party would take the initiative to reach out.

According to the general negotiation rules, the party who made the request first is often at a disadvantage in the negotiation, but Xu Liewu's timing is very well selected. The Medici family never participated in the previous battle for hegemony in the mainland, and they have preserved their strength and vitality. Now they have a lot of money to negotiate with Reins. If it succeeds, it will be good; if it fails, continue to go back and cooperate with Zhou Gongjin to combine the strengths of the two parties. , The same is the invincible combination of the world.

"So, Hulagu should now wait for us to propose an exchange of interests, and use some favorable terms in exchange for his ally."

"Allies? There are no masters in the Medici family. If you join hands with them, where can they help us?"

"I think... they can provide an attack opportunity that is hard to defend with a secret arrow."

Nevertheless, Quan Ying really doesn’t like this insidious act of injuring people with dark arrows. Lancelow would rather fight with Gong Jinming with a knife and a gun. Even if you die, it’s better than this. The gloomy feeling of poking people behind.

However, it is also difficult for them to refuse categorically, because sitting in this position is responsibility for this kind of thing, and the responsibility for battle is victory. If they can be defeated by a clear sword, that’s great, but if they lose, What should those people who originally hoped in themselves do?

Lancelow didn’t make a decision immediately. He still planned to make plans after meeting Xu Liewu with Quan Ying. After all, this kind of matter is very important. You must have face-to-face talks before you can see the sincerity of the other party. hypocritical.

"My mind is not good. Although that little white face is a bit sissy, but it is not white paste in his head, it is safer to take you with you. But...I heard that little white face is very handsome... "

Lancelow's expression was weird. Quan Ying didn't care at first, but continued to organize the files at hand, until she found that her husband's expression was getting more and more stinky, from the stinky tofu-like feeling to the extent of rapidly deteriorating into a pit stone. It suddenly dawned on me.

"That's not a problem. Women look at men, not just their faces! I'm not the kind of woman who will be fascinated just by seeing beautiful men, not to mention Yuan...well, not to mention simple In terms of appearance, I am also very confident, I am much more beautiful than Senior Brother Six!"

Izumi Sakura originally wanted to say that Gengoro must be more handsome than that of a beautiful man than Xu Liegu, but I was afraid that once this was said, there would be endless troubles, I was afraid that even Gengoro would not be able to see each other in the future, so I changed it. Use this answer in Xu Liewu style.

This judgment should be correct, but later that day, Lancelow silently handed a mirror to Quan Ying. Quan Ying was puzzled at first, and later realized that her husband was going to have an interview with him. This mirror, while talking to Xu Liewu, while looking at the mirror.

Quanying's arrogant behavior under strong desire makes Quan Ying laugh and laugh, but since she can still laugh, it means that she is in a good mood and will not be disgusted. This is also very interesting for Quan Ying afterwards.

Regardless of the various things the husband and wife get along with, there is one more thing that cannot be ignored in the various tasks that are going on in the city when they leave Jixia.

Lancelow visited the Taiyan Institute in person and wanted to visit the younger sister Ai Ling, but unexpectedly threw himself away. He learned that the younger sister and a large number of researchers had left the Taiyan Institute for a few days and arrived at a place outside Jixia City. In another library, research behind closed doors.

The research pavilion occupies a large area. It was completed by the Magic Guild and the Taiyan Academy in the early years. They used two techniques to build multiple barriers. Usually, they are not allowed to approach. It is specially used to test the destructive black magic or Taikoo. Magic weapon. After Lancelow arrived at the annex, he only felt the soles of his feet vibrate faintly. Looking up at the sky, he saw mushroom-shaped clouds in the enchantment, frequently rising up.

"It hurts my brain, I just hope it won't be used. It feels really bad enough to use this to defeat the iron-faced ladyboy."

After confirming these things, Lancelow traveled west with Quan Ying and Youxue, eager to rendezvous with the Reins Army that had entered the territory of El Tienno, and when entering El Tienno, he took the north gate to the sky. Guan, Lancelow deliberately stayed for one night, and the two accompanying them didn't ask anything, tacit understanding to each other.

Although the local supreme commanders Nier and Gengoro are not there, looking up, the traces of the fierce war in the past are still clearly left on the wall and on the ground, making people imagine the brutal killings that happened here. However, the eastern front of El Tienol has completely collapsed, and the Reins army has also rushed out of the border and attacked El Tienno territory. There are not many troops remaining here, and it seems that there is no possibility of war.

The breath of war has gone, but the sequelae caused by it continue to ferment. Those victims who were wounded and fled in successive wars came to the Beimen Tianguan and received the medicine and food provided by Reins. Aid, rest here for a while, but there are also many people who will never leave as soon as they rest.

Originally, the flow of refugees at Tianguan Pass at the North Gate was due to the collapse of the Huazi family. The local people had no way of making a living and only fleeing in groups. However, as the situation in Eltino became more and more chaotic, the flow of refugees fled The number has skyrocketed, and Reins has also begun to change his attitude.

The influx of too many refugees at one time, the supply of food alone will become a huge burden. According to international practice, it is time to expel the refugees back to the country so as not to cause a greater disaster, but When a letter sent from Beimen Tianguan was delivered to Ivory White Pagoda a few days ago, Jixia’s policy took a 180-degree turn, and the immigration organization was quickly expanded, and a window was set up at Beimen Tianguan to provide efficient assistance. The influx of refugees settled in the country and distributed work or reclaiming tools according to their talents.

"Crisis can also be a turning point. There are no real problems in the world. It just depends on whether we are willing to do it. These people are refugees in Eltinore. After joining Reins, they will become our elites. Because there is a decisive difference between us and Eltinol, that is, you have a great king!"

After the end of the Reins Civil War, Lancelot has obtained all the power in the country and has also adopted a powerful rule. With the high support of the Reins people, he has enough power to do anything, so the ruling and opposition parties are When there was a wave of expelling refugees and preserving the vitality of the country, he continued with an order, and overnight, from the court to the media, all the original opposition voices turned into eager support.

"Hey, this is what a totalitarian country looks like. It can be done in one sentence. These people are really obedient."

After giving orders, he left Lancelow in Jixia and made such emotions. He believes that his job is to be a great king, and the reason why the king is great is because the king can point the right direction and bring the people of a country to the right path.

This insight is quite correct, but Lancelow is not a person who thoroughly adheres to the truth, so his work came to an end after pointing out the direction. "Hello", as a result, on the way to El Tienor, even if Quan Ying was sitting in the airship, she would continue to approve various budgets, vowing in her heart that she would establish a high-quality staff team as soon as possible.

Being able to leave El Tienor and find hope in a new country. Those refugees who have just become naturalized are very excited, as if they can see the future in the near future, the lives of themselves and their families can regain light, and they are also dominant His Majesty Lancelow of the New Immigration Policy is grateful to Dade... Although not long ago, they regarded this enemy king as a tyrannical demon.

However, some people secretly rumored that the reason why Reins’ immigration policy has undergone such a big change is because a powerful person appeared on the North Gate Tianguan to intercede, but who is that person? , But it is difficult to conclude so far.

"Well, the sun is about to go down, why are there so many people outside those thatched houses? Is it because they eat bad stomachs and lay pits there? So many people eat bad stomachs, that’s food poisoning. This is terrible, you have to solve the problem as soon as possible."

"Oh? It's not a cottage, it's an immigration window. People are queuing there all night because they are in a hurry to enter Reings as soon as possible and formally become naturalized! I'm sorry, I want them to wait so long, I hope they can Get used to Reins’ environment and find happiness here."

"Is there enough food here? What about clothes and medicine? The weather has turned cold. If these things are not enough, it will be difficult for the people here to survive the winter."

Contrary to the usual bold and reckless image, after Lancelow disguised himself and came to the North Gate Tianguan, without disturbing anyone, he recruited the garrison officers and asked the local supplies in detail. The supply situation, if there is something missing, immediately asked for a change. Quan Ying, who saw all this in her eyes, was very touched by this, and felt that her hard work along the way had a price.

"It's okay. I am a commoner myself, I have been a disaster victim, and I have been a thief. I am familiar with the feeling of eating and sleeping, and of course I know what they want."

Faced with praise from his wife, Lancelow, who is free on the battlefield, behaved a little shy and embarrassedly humbly, but Quan Ying does think that her husband’s ideas are very good, and she can help such people. Doing things will make you much happier.

In contrast, Quanying felt that she was a little inadequate. Although she had read the works of various Confucian scholars and studied the ways of governing the country through the world when she was living in Hangzhou to recuperate, she had little experience in getting along with people. It is impossible to be as considerate as Lancelot in putting yourself in the shoes of others. This may be the price of being a daughter of a lady closed in an ivory tower.

Standing under the city wall of Tianguan Pass at the North Gate, looking at the camp tents that stretched for more than ten miles in front of you, the camp tents connected to each other were lit and lighted. As the night fell, the ground was clearly illuminated, Lan Silo was silent and seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end he was still preparing to turn around and enter the barrier, and did not enter the camp area.

"Isn't it a pity to go back like this? We took the Beimen Tianguan pass. In addition to saving time, there seems to be another reason!"

Quan Ying, who was waiting for Lancelow at the gate of the city, spoke with a smile, causing Lancelow to show a troubled expression. At this moment, a child hurried over and said that he would give the note to the north. The tallest man in Mentianguan.

Lancelow took the note for granted, and after a glance, his expression seemed to be very happy, but somewhat embarrassed.

That was the note Fenghua asked him to meet.
