Chapter 6 thousand feathers (1)

The ancient city of Tuofeng fell into disrepair for a long time. The yellow earth wall is the most prominent symbol of this ancient city. The strong wind blows the yellow sand from the desert outside the pass.Eloquently covering the ancient city of Tuofeng. Residents here wear thick turbans.Only two eyes are exposed. The wind and sand are too big. The skin is exposed for an hour.It will be blown by the dry yellow sand to lose moisture and crack bloody mouths. The most expensive thing here is not gold, not white jade, not beauties or luminous cups. The most expensive thing here is the most common, water.

A jug of water can be sold for the price of a jug of the best wine in the royal city. Water vapor hangs thickly in the air. It is also unclear whether it is sweat or steam that condenses on the skin and turns into large droplets that roll down. Huge wooden barrels were filled with hot water.Water is more expensive than wine. In a place like Tuofeng where water is scarce, there is no other person who can take a bath so comfortably, except Guangming. He closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the rim of the barrel.Like falling asleep.Water from his hair trickled down his handsome face.

The thick black eyebrows are so wet that they stick to the prominent brow bone.Eyes sunken deeply. Profound facial features.tough face.It looks like a man of western origin. The skin glowed the color of wheat under the ten bright oil lamps around the bathroom.Healthy and powerful muscles wrap this God of War body. It is late at night on the eighth day of May. Bright didn't wait until the next morning to set off. If the guard leader on the ninth day of May doesn't need him to come forward to choose.Well, there's no point in waiting an extra day. What's more.The barbarians have broken through and approached the ancient city of Tuofeng.The light cannot bear them to go any further.

The morning of the eighth day of May.He is still in the royal city. Late night on the eighth day of May.He was already enjoying the precious hot water in the ancient city of Tuofeng, which was close to the desert. Bright was awakened by slight footsteps.Slowly opened his eyes. A one-eyed man walked to the front of the bath.stop.Looking at the strong man in the water. His name is One Eye.He is one of the seven nearby cities who specializes in slave trade. He said, I am the boss here, and my name is One Eye.I heard you were looking for me, if you have anything to say quickly... Before he could finish speaking, he received a loud slap across the face.However, the man in the pool in front of him obviously didn't move, and there was no one around, the slap seemed to be slapped by a transparent person.

Guangming half-closed his eyes, turned his head to look at him, and said, do you know who you are talking to? Guangming's fingers resting on the edge of the bathtub lightly tapped the edge of the bathtub again.Then there was another loud slap in the air. One-eyed suddenly went limp, and immediately knelt down. Guangming closed his eyes again, and said in a low voice, this is not too bad. There were big beads of sweat on the one-eyed head, and he suddenly saw the bright red armor hanging on the wall.He seemed to vaguely know who it was in front of him. The voice of light came from the water vapor, with a humming echo, he said, how many slaves do you have?

One-eyed replied respectfully, "My lord, there are one hundred and thirty-two of them." Bright said, I want them all. One-eyed gritted his teeth, and said as if mustering up his courage, my lord...what's the price... Guangming opened his eyes slightly, reached out to wipe off the water on his face, and said, ten cents a piece. One-eyed felt as if his back was covered with sharp thorns, he said, General, at this price, even the dead can't buy it, can you... Guangming interrupted him impatiently, his voice was as cold as ice, making One Eye think that the steaming bathroom was as cold as snow.Guangming said, what I buy is dead people, and those who follow me, none of them will live.

One-eyed was just about to say something when suddenly a black object flew over from nowhere and stuffed it directly into his mouth. Two teeth, and a hand full of blood spat out. Guangming said that there are a total of 1,330 wen.count. One-eyed endured the pain, and said with blood in his mouth, thank you general for the reward of ten coins. Guangming laughed suddenly, and the low laughter came from the mist, and he felt soaked.He pointed his index finger at the one-eyed man, shook it, and said, that's not a bounty, plus you, it's exactly one hundred and thirty-three. One-eyed exited the bathroom.

Bright continued to lie in the hot water. Because I left the royal city.Therefore, the barrier of white light he set up in the palace also lost its effect due to the distance of the light. Guangming vaguely felt that what he expected was likely to happen.However, this is also a very ethereal and illusory feeling. What's more, the magic labyrinth he set up around the entrance of the palace, except for himself and the guards in the palace who are responsible for protecting the emperor, no one else can know the energy flow of each entrance. Only at a specific time, at a specific entrance, Only then can you enter the palace, otherwise, you can only get lost in the space of spells and keep getting lost.

Even if people from Qianyulou or Bliss Palace attack the royal city, the light will be able to drive back during the time they are trapped in the maze.He has this confidence.After all, the maze he set up was once passed down from his father, and once trapped the insect masters on the islands in the entire South China Sea, unable to break out. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes a little more at ease. Thrush knelt under the steps.Waiting for orders from White Wing sitting on the throne on the steps. However, Bai Yi has not spoken.Thrush has been waiting. After a long time, Bai Yi finally opened her mouth, and she asked, you mean, all the people living in the other courtyard in Shen Yuexuan, except for the floating bridge, are all dead?

yes. This is the same task I gave you.It's just... You said you didn't do anything? It is indeed not what the subordinates did.Although I have put the poison you gave me in everyone's meals.However, before that, everyone was dead. you sure? yes. In such a short period of time, all the people in the other courtyard died? Before lunch, I saw seven of them, Mucha, Fumang and Liuguang, in the courtyard.And when the servants started delivering food, those people were all dead.I saw the bluebird die first.Only then did they realize that everyone in the other courtyard might be in danger.So I stopped moving.

You didn't poison the food on the boardwalk, did you? The subordinates dare not. That's good.You continue to stay in Shen Yuexuan.Don't let the pontoon sense that you are hostile to him.And... help him in any way you can.Tomorrow is the day when someone from the palace will choose the guard leader.Now there is only one person left on the floating bridge, if there is no accident, it will be him.You want to make sure there are no such surprises. yes. Let's go back. The surrounding darkness disappeared like smoke.Light swirls and fills the surrounding space.In an instant, he returned to the brightly lit courtyard again. Thrush wiped the sweat from his hands.Close your eyes and see the scene again. After Thrush summoned Asuka to quickly clean up the bodies of the servants who delivered meals, she walked towards each courtyard. As expected, everyone died in the room. There was no sign of any violent fighting in the room.It seemed that those who were killed had no room to fight back. When she withdrew from the Canghai Courtyard, the last worm master Liuguang, she no longer had the residual hope that "maybe someone will be alive". Everyone died horribly. If it is true that they were all killed by the floating bridge, then what a terrible person the floating bridge is. Thinking of this, Huamei felt chills running down her back. After returning from the first floor of Qianyu Building, she hurried across the courtyard, preparing to go to the hall. When passing a small bridge, I was suddenly stopped by a magnetic "lady boss". Looking up, I don't know when, the pontoon bridge is already sitting on the railing of the bridge.It holds a grass stalk in its mouth.The hair is tied up casually on the head.There is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth. "Hey, lady boss, where are you going?" Huamei controlled her expression, and said with a smile on her face, "Don't worry about me, just do what you should do." "Hey, me." Floating Bridge scratched his hair and said with a smirk, "I have finished all the things I have to do, and no one is left in the other courtyard. I thought it would cost more Strength, but I didn't expect it to be so easy." A nonchalant tone.Kind smile. However, it sounded like five thunderclaps in Wumei's ears. Thrush raised her head and looked at the pontoon, unable to hide her nervousness any longer.She asked with a trembling voice, they... were all killed by you? Jumping off the pontoon, she stood in front of the proprietress, with a tall and straight figure, which looked particularly vigorous because of her youth.He said, well.I killed it.Shouldn't the proprietress be thanking me? why…… Do you think the poison you put in your food can kill them easily?Even if the poison you put down can barely fool those stupid nomadic wizards in the northwest and that barbarian who is full of strength but no brains wandering in the middle of the earth, but for the head-destroyer bluebird in the southern border, there is still Xingluo Insect Master Liu Guang of the archipelago, these two masters who are good at using poison, not to mention that they can detect your poison without even looking at it, I can even say that the two of them can directly take your carefully prepared poison. Eat all the food and not lose a single hair.So... don't you think you should thank me?I have done you such a favor... Huamei suppressed the fear in her heart and said, don't underestimate those poisons, if you don't believe me, you can try it, that is... The pontoon bridge groaned twice and waved his hand to interrupt her. He said, I don't care if those poisons are useful or not, anyway... I killed you for you.Right?After speaking, he showed a wicked smile. Huamei was speechless, the man in front of him who looked like a ruffian and idle yesterday, today, made people feel awed, he didn't even have the courage to stand in front of him, there was a voice in his heart saying "Kneel down!" Kneel down," Thrush almost couldn't stand upright. I...I didn't want...to kill you... Huamei didn't know why she said this sentence, as if begging for mercy, she lost her dignity. The face of the floating bridge suddenly became very vivid, a smile bloomed on his face like a bright white light, and a gentle wind appeared around him inexplicably.His voice suddenly became ethereal and distant, as if the whole person was about to disappear and melt into the air.White light from nowhere enveloped him, making him look as distant as a god in the light, he said, you should be glad you didn't poison me, otherwise, you thought you would still be alive to meet your master Bai Yi what! Thrush felt that her back was drenched with sweat.She raised her head, looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and asked, are you... a dead leaf?Are you really... him? The pontoon suddenly smiled, like flowers blooming suddenly on the wasteland. He slowly leaned down, and whispered softly in the ear of Thrush who was sitting slumped on the ground, dead leaves are nothing in my eyes. Thrush raised his head and saw the soft silvery light in his eyes, like silver water plants wandering in the water, rippling transparent ripples in his eyes round and round. The floating bridge turned around and walked slowly towards the Asuka Garden on the other side of the courtyard.After taking two steps, he stopped.Without turning around, he turned his back to Thrush and said, I have helped you remove so many obstacles, so you should also do me a favor, right? Thrush looked at his back, didn't know what he was thinking, just gritted his teeth, nodded and said, okay. Because she had no other choice but to say yes.Moreover, Bai Yi also told her that she should do her best to fulfill any requirements of the pontoon bridge. Although she didn't know why Bai Yi wanted to help the people in Bliss Palace. The eighth day of May.late at night. Shen Yuexuan was as silent as a tomb.When Huamei opened the window, she could only see the lights of the Asuka Yard deep in the courtyard. And the other courtyards, like the masters who once lived in them, fell into the huge darkness of death. There are still tireless birds flying overhead in the thick night. Big and big floating clouds sprinted past.The wind blew loudly on the roof. Thrush didn't dare to think about anything after that. She just wanted the ninth day of May, that is, tomorrow, to come early, and then end early. She only hoped that she could help the floating bridge to finish what he asked as soon as possible, and then complete the task that Bai Wing entrusted to her. As for the others, she no longer wanted to think about them. No one can guess how the world will change. Plateaus become ravines.The deep sea becomes mountains. Hundreds of millions of years have solidified into the carving knife of the years, cutting out immutable traces on the surface of the earth. The once flat wasteland has been cut into countless tower-shaped stone forests, with ravines interlaced in the middle, and the light shines randomly into the depths of the canyon. A narrow canyon.The bright troops have been ambushed on both sides.There are only eight hundred people.But yesterday the spies reported that there were 20,000 barbarians. However, no one was afraid, because they knew that the ones who were afraid should be the barbarians, because the leader of these 800 people was the invincible general Guangming. Dark clouds passed swiftly across the sky.The thick dark clouds cut off the light, leaving only the rays of light shining down like sharp swords from the gaps in the dark clouds. The golden armor of the eight hundred soldiers shone with a dazzling golden brilliance, and the most eye-catching one came from the body of the light. The reflected red light is like the rising sun. The scarlet flower armor reflects a mysterious and powerful red light.In the dark surroundings, a mysterious and strange light like blood appeared. Behind the general Guangming, there are prison cars one after another.One hundred and thirty-two slaves were imprisoned inside. One Eye opened the prison door and drove the slaves out with a whip. The panicked slaves flickered with frightened eyes like beasts.They are crowded together, as if they were born with instincts that can sense the danger coming. The corners of Guangming's mouth raised slightly.Then turned around and rode away. Then his troops quickly followed him, galloping toward the depths of the valley. One-eyed stood where he was, not understanding what was going on. Until Guangming's lieutenant also walked in front of him. Yeli said to him, Go west, and you lead all the slaves to the west.Then Yeli suddenly lowered his head mysteriously, and said a very soft word in One Eye's ear, and then One Eye's face instantly became as pale as a dead person. Because Yeli said that the general has an order: don't turn back.Those who turn back will be killed without mercy. Deep in the canyon. The light disappeared here as if blown away by a strong wind. Only the roar of the wind remained in my ears.And the shapes of boulders in the dim light. More than a hundred slaves crawled at the bottom of the canyon.The chains collided with each other and made a sound, and the empty space was blown by the wind and spread out of the canyon, and then the echo was transmitted back in the distance. Guangming stood at the height of the canyon, looking down at the slowly advancing slaves in the depths of the canyon. His gaze was drawn to one of the slaves.He frowned slightly. The slave stopped suddenly, stopped in place like a sculpture, and the surrounding slaves walked forward in a daze, crawling past him numbly. Looking at the slave who stopped suddenly with one eye, an indescribable feeling passed through his heart. He asked him, why did you stop? The slave shook his head.Still staring at an unknown place ahead. There was a slight vibration from the slave's palm touching the ground.There was a slight movement like a few seeds sprouting from the soil a few meters below.It's almost imperceptible if you're not careful.His eyes lighted up slowly, his ears stretched out from the sides of his lying head, and then, slowly, he turned his head and looked at One Eye with a terrified look. Cyclops suddenly felt his heart constrict, and he asked: What? The slave opened his mouth, and said a word with difficulty, listen. Obviously, as a slave, he is not used to talking, and most of the time, they live like wild animals. One-eyed was very flustered, and his impatience and fear suddenly swelled up in his heart, so he slammed a whip on the slave. However, the slave fell down on the ground and pressed his ears to the ground. A red beetle landed lightly on General Guangming's flowered armor. Just touching the armor, he suddenly fell to the ground and died. He looked at the slave, his eyes tightly squinted as if illuminated by a blinding light.He moved his fingers suddenly, and quickly made a complex gesture. Then, a rapid white light suddenly shot towards the slave. The moment it touched the slave's naked skin, the light seemed to suddenly turn into mercury. Wrapped tightly around the slave's body, and then disappeared in an instant. Nobody noticed it.One-eyed does not.Neither did the slaves themselves. Only the lieutenant general of Guangming also saw it. It's just that what he didn't understand was why Guangming would waste his white light enchantment on a body that would not be a pity to die. You know, this has always been a spell used to protect the emperor. At this time, Yeli suddenly heard a heart-piercing roar from the canyon. The sound was reflected back and forth by the mountain wall in the silent canyon, and was carried by the whistling wind and amplified across the entire wasteland, like It was the roar of thunder from above the clouds. There was only one word in that roar, which was: "Flee!" The pupils of all the soldiers shrank suddenly at that moment. No one could believe what they saw before them. All the soldiers held their weapons tightly, gritted their teeth and watched what happened in front of them. Like a hell on earth, the blood splattered scene. At this time, Guangming slowly sat down cross-legged at the highest point of the canyon, and at some point a black guqin appeared on his knees.
