Chapter 29 Chapter 7 The Fragrance of the Feast

Niya and I stood on the broad wall of Piaoxiang City, overlooking the magnificent night view of the grassland under the moonlit night. Cairou took Dahei, who was the most reluctant, to take a bath. I had nothing to do, so before the feast to entertain me, I took some time and dragged Niya here to enjoy the moon. Niya's long blond hair fluttered in the wind, and she changed into a bright yellow dress. Compared with her majestic and heroic female posture, she was another intoxicating demeanor. Niya stared at the mysterious and desolate vast wilderness under the moonlight, and said softly: My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me, so I only have my father in my life, without my mother

I felt the desolation in her tone, felt pity, stretched out my hand, gently hugged her fragrant shoulders, gave up the charming night scene, leaned against the city wall, looked at her proud and goddess-like silhouette on the side, and admired what the world could do. Create the most beautiful lines. If one day I leave the pure land, as long as I hold her in my arms, it is equivalent to holding the pure land in my arms. Owning her is equivalent to owning the essence of the pure land. Pick soft. Niya. God is so kind to me! If I can find a secluded paradise with Cairou, Niya, Huaxi, the princess, or even the princess, or move to a pure land without war, I will be the happiest man on earth, and I will work hard Make them the happiest women.

This is a dream, a very distant and blurred dream. Two victories made me shudder at fate. Who knows what fate has arranged for me on the road ahead?Especially the sentence of infinite sadness in the prophecy made a thorn in my heart. Niya said: When I saw Xi Zhutong's spear piercing my father's body, I thought my life was over, because happiness was no longer with me. Nazhi took a look at me and lowered his head. I couldn't help but move my hand up to her pink and white jade neck, and rubbed it gently. Niya raised her head slowly, looked at me with affectionate eyes, and said faintly: "So I met you."

I smiled and said: Then why did you treat me so fiercely at the beginning? Niya leaned over, rested her head on my shoulder, put her mouth close to my ear, and whispered: Because I'm jealous, I'm jealous that Cairou is beside you, not me. I laughed out loud and panted, "Don't lie to me, I think you were moved when you saw my handsome appearance after washing up, and the light in your eyes couldn't fool me at that moment. Niya stood up straight, pushed away my hand on her shoulder, opened her almond eyes and said coquettishly: "Go to hell!"Your face full of thought is much prettier than your current boyish face, only ghosts are tempted by your boyish boyish face!

Seeing that I was able to make her look like this, I was so happy in my heart that even the slightest bit of worry was left behind. In this intoxicating moment of tranquility, who cares what fate is doing behind the scenes, I touched my chin and said: "Look!" Come I will grow a beard here, to please our noble Duchess. Niya threw herself into my arms, her hot and plump body clung to me, her slender hands wrapped around my head and neck like a water snake, she raised her pretty face, and said in a charming voice: Stay!stay!It's best to cover up your pretty face, but leave your sad eyes, so as not to lose the tools to seduce women.

I said fiercely: If you don't stop seducing me, I won't go to a banquet with you, but The sound of soldiers standing at attention came. We were reluctant to part with each other and slowly separated. Great Swordsman, Duchess Niya, it's time for the dinner party. The feast was held in the main hall of Grand Duke Hongshi's Gongyin Mansion. The most impressive part of the main hall is the roof made of crystal stones, allowing people to look directly at the night sky through the crystal stones from inside the hall. The hall was crowded with pure land nobles and soldiers in fine clothes.

They were divided into groups, chatting and laughing leisurely while enjoying the rich fruits and vegetables on the seemingly randomly placed stone tables. Some people even sat on the ground and under the stone steps paved with moiré stones, fully showing the pure land. Romantic and unrestrained feelings. More than half of the hall is occupied by beautifully dressed young women. They are all delicate and beautiful on average, and their skin is especially white and tender. In addition, their dresses are very sexy, so the bare shoulders, beautiful legs and plump chest muscles make the feast The embellishment is sensual and fragrant, which contrasts with the cruelty and ugliness of war.

When Niya and I arrived, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. Grand Duke Hongshi, accompanied by Hongqing and another beautiful girl who looks a little like Hongqing, greeted him. Nearly a hundred men and women in the hall stood up together, crossed their hands on their chests, and saluted me. The only one who was still lying majestically was Dahei. This guy was just surrounded by a group of beauties, and with all his hands, he couldn't even open his eyes. Lingzhi led Cairou to the side of Grand Duke Hongshi. As soon as I saw Cairou, my eyes couldn't move to another place.

She put on a snow-white and soft robe, revealing half of her fragrant shoulders. Her long hair was twisted twice on her head, and a few strands of blue silk hung down. She wore it with a white jade hairpin, which looked as beautiful as it would shine. Cairou's beautiful eyes shot out thousands of strands of tenderness, and said softly: That guy Dahei betrayed me again. I held back my smile, returned my salute to everyone, and said with a smile: "Continue your great cause just now, I don't want any changes due to my coming." Everyone burst into laughter. Grand Duke Hongshi turned his head and gestured to them to continue, and said to me: You are very familiar with my son, let me introduce my daughter Hongyue.

The beautiful girl next to him bowed slightly to me, her shining beautiful eyes were full of curiosity and challenge, and she was obviously interested in me. I felt that she was a bit like someone I was familiar with, but I couldn't remember who she looked like at the moment. I was secretly vigilant in my heart, the beauties in the Pure Land are very passionate, if I am not careful, it will cause a lot of troubles. At this time, the main hall returned to the earlier happy and casual atmosphere. Seeing me paying attention to the scene in the hall, Hongqing said: Great Sword Master, this is the first time a banquet is held in this hall since the Heicha people invaded the Pure Land.

Lingzhi said: Great Sword Master, you bring laughter back to the Pure Land. Grand Duke Hongshi was in a good mood, and said with a smile: Great Sword Master, please come over here, let me introduce you to the most respected person in Fragrance City. I bent my arms, let Niya and Cairou's slender hands slip into my arms, and followed the red stone to the steps on the right side of the main hall. Everyone saluted as they passed by. Especially the bold and enthusiastic eyes of those pure land beauties made my heart beat faster. After all, I am a young man, and it is natural for opposites to attract.The right side of the main hall was obviously empty, only seven men and women stood in front of a big round table full of food and waited for my visit with smiles. I pay special attention to four of them. One is a tall, thin, shrewd old man in his seventies. What attracts me is that he is wearing a priestly robe that looks like spirituality, but the robe of spirituality is tied with yellow lace. It is tied with red lace. The other person is a very charming and beautiful woman, her golden hair is no less than Niya's, and she is wearing priestly clothes with blue borders.Unexpectedly, among the eight priests who represent the highest power in the Pure Land, there are women, and they are still such a charming stunner. The third one that caught my attention was a man slightly older than me, with a burly physique, and his shiny eyes gleamed with confidence and wisdom, giving him the feeling of being both civil and military.The fourth is a middle-aged black-haired woman who looks slender but very delicate, Nana is slim and lovable. The eyes of the seven people were all focused on me, only the eyes of the man who was slightly bigger than me rolled around on me, and then moved to Cairou, bursting out with an indescribable light. The old priest took a few steps forward, looked into my eyes with excitement, stretched out his withered hand, and clasped it tightly with mine, tremblingly said: Great Sword Master!People have been waiting for you for seven hundred years.He was referring, of course, to the long period between the writing of the prophecies and the present. Hongshi introduced: This is the priest of the sky eye, who is responsible for the study of pure land astronomy and calendar, naming new stars in the sky, and also our prophet. My heart moved, I looked at the other party carefully, and thought to myself: If he can predict my future, do I want to know? Then came up the beautiful priestess, she Yingying came to me, looking at me deeply, when I was wondering if she would hold my hands tightly like a priest with the eyes of the sky, her snow-white and slender hands It has been sent over, the rich and soft feeling penetrates from the heart. Hongshidao: The youngest and most beautiful Huayun priestess in the history of the Pure Land, who is responsible for the research of agriculture, is the person who has the deepest understanding of nature in the Pure Land. Hua Yun said softly: How I wish the Pure Land can return to peace, then I can take the Great Sword Master to travel throughout the Pure Land. Cairou cried out, "That's really great." Hua Yun smiled lovingly at Cairou, let go of my hand, and backed away, but the feeling of clasping his hands just now was deeply imprinted on my heart. This does not mean that I have fallen in love with Huayun, or even have the idea of ​​winning her heart, but that beautiful things will make people's hearts move, just like the pure land, like the romantic and beautiful people in the pure land. A short fat man came up, shook my hand, and introduced himself: Everyone here calls me short and fat, but no one remembers my real name, but another thing they have not forgotten is that I have hands, which used to be the best at making things. Farm tools and building houses. After the black fork ghost came, I switched to making weapons and war tools. Everyone laughed. This person is a bit like Ma Yuan, a fat soldier, with an extra three points of optimism and humor, which made me very fond of him, and said: "I hope you can use your unparalleled skill to turn the blood of the dragon into a powerful weapon, then we will have a better chance of winning." . Dumpty's eyes sparkled, and after stepping away, he still showed a thoughtful expression. I have become the natural leader of the Pure Land, an undisputed hero, so getting to know them and using them according to their abilities is the most important thing right now. Then came the amazingly delicate woman, and I thought to myself: Needless to say, this should be the official wife of Grand Duke Hongshi, but she has such an elegant temperament. Our hands are held together. Hongshi said: Fengxiang is the greatest painter in our pure land. Feng Xiang said lightly: "The Grand Duke is too famous, but I hope to make a water painting for the Great Sword Master, so that the people of the Pure Land after thousands of generations can also see the great holy sword knight." At this time, I heard Cairou secretly ask Lingzhi: Priest!What subjects are you in charge of.She is still an innocent and curious little girl who also shows her genuine concern for others. I heard Lingzhi answer: I am in charge of history Feng Xiang was a little embarrassed and said: Great Sword Master Only then did I realize that I was still holding her hand tightly, my face blushed, and I let her go. Everyone was smiling, thinking of their casual and romantic characters, I will never feel uneasy again, but I just hope that Fengxiang will not get it wrong. Then came up to greet them were two generals from Hongshi, both in their forties, the taller one was named Yue Shan, and the shorter one was named Xiuqing, they were gentle and elegant, quite like a military advisor. The last one was the Yingwei General Yonov, who seemed to be slightly older than me. He shook hands with me calmly as soon as he came up, and said: "The Great Swordsman is the first person I have met for the first time, and I am completely convinced."Then the voice was so low that only I could hear it: I'm jealous of you! I was stunned for a while, and the Pure Land people really did not hide their feelings for me, just like Nianjia. Hongshi said: Great Sword Master!Please take a seat. Just as I was about to start, a figure flashed, and the beautiful Hongyue stopped in front of me with her tender body. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I would have bumped into her. Cai and Niya also stopped with me. A sweet smile appeared on Hongyue Ruhua's pretty face, and said: Great Sword Master!I want to borrow a baby from you! What baby, could it be my holy sword. Without waiting for my agreement, Hongyue pointed at Cai Judao: All the men in Piaoxiang City also want to know the number one beauty from the Lianyun clan, so please be generous, Great Swordsman! Cairou's pink face was flushed, but her beautiful eyes shone with joy and playfulness. The delicate Hongyue wrinkled her nose at me, and before I agreed, she had already pushed Cairou away halfway. I whispered in Niya's ear: Foreign products are always more popular than local products, except for the black fork ghost. Niya laughed wildly, and gave me a reproachful look, wondering if I was to blame for comparing her to a local product? Although everyone didn't know what we were talking about, they all had happy expressions on their faces. Suddenly, I knew that I had invested in the life and social methods of the Pure Land people.It was a completely different society from the empire's intrigues and struggles for power and profit. The responsibility on my shoulders is heavier. If I can't get rid of the Heicha people, this beautiful and lovely culture will disappear. Everyone sat down as guests and hosts, and after a round of drinking and drinking, Hongshi turned to the topic and said: The original bad idea of ​​the Heicha people was to capture the two cities behind the Tianmiao, cut off the supplies of the Tianmiao, and then besieged Tianmiao, but as soon as the great swordsman came, he caused the Heicha people to suffer two major defeats, lost two important legions, and weakened about one-eighth of the strength of the Heicha army, which greatly improved the situation between the enemy and ourselves . Lingzhi said: But we can't underestimate the enemy, because apart from the Nether Legion of the Heicha ghost king Yaodi, there are still five full-strength legions left by the Heicha people's seven great generals, and their strength is still far superior to ours. Niya explained from the side: The Nether Legion is the private legion of the Black Cross King Yaodi, with a total strength of nearly 120,000 soldiers. The sharp horns on their helmets are all white, which is very recognizable.In addition to Xi Zhutong, Gong Lengming and Zuo Lingquan, the Seven Great Generals also have Gui Yeti Qiongjue, Wolf Howling Zhimu, Black Baker Hengdao, Black Pearl Dai Qingqing, and Thin Gui Xiangqinsheng. The corps of Ke Hengdao, Ke Hengdao and Dai Qingqing is the most terrifying. I didn't expect that one of the seven great generals was a woman, so I couldn't help being very interested, but I don't know what she looks like?So far, I haven't seen a female black fork ghost, and I don't think it's easy to see where to go. Little Dumpty seemed to have seen through my intentions, and said with a smile: This Heizhu is said to be the most beautiful woman among the Heicha ghosts, but no one knows what she looks like when she was born.Then his expression darkened, and he continued: Because everyone who saw her died. Everyone fell silent for a moment, remembering the brutal war that was raging on the pure land. I suddenly wanted to avoid the topic of war, and said to Fengxiang, a female painter: Ms. Fengxiang, do you have a studio, and can I visit your masterpiece if I have a chance? Feng Xiang happily said: That is Feng Xiang's greatest honor.At this time, she looked innocent like a child. Hongshi smiled and said, then you can take the opportunity to create a statue for the great swordsman. Feng Xiang sighed softly: I'm just afraid that I can't draw well, the great sword master has a very difficult quality to capture, if you can't capture it in the painting, you will have to lose the spirit of the form. The sky-eyed priest who has been silent all this time said: You will succeed! When he said this, there was a look of sadness in his eyes. Did he see something in the future? Hongshi said to Yonov: Nofu, you just came from Tianmiao, can you tell the Great Swordsman about the situation there. Then he further introduced Yonov to me and said, "Nofu is the most famous general among the younger generation in Pure Land. If he hadn't broken through the blockade of the Heicha skinny ghost Xiang Qinsheng on the Temple of Heaven this time, and brought 20,000 Sun Warriors to Floating Fragrance City is here, and we can't support it until today. Yonov pondered for a while, and said: Tianmiao is located on the Zhutian Plateau on the mountainside of Zhutian Mountain Range. There are only two roads leading to this plateau, namely North Zhutian Road and South Zhutian Road. After the prophecy was written, our pure land took precautions against the coming disasters, so in the past hundreds of years, we have overcome all difficulties and built eight strategic stone fortresses on these two roads. Lishi, Pingya, Shougu, and Yixia four castles; the north road is closed pass, broken road, Qintian, and Hushi. Now the closed pass and broken road on the north road in Babaoli are relatively close to the base camp of the Heicha ghost at the northern end of the Pure Land. Fallen, fortunately the two fortresses of Qintian and Hushi faced each other far away, the situation was critical, and the four great generals of the Pure Land, Long Teng and Yan Se, two grand dukes personally guarded the gate, forcibly blocked the black fortress for several years. That's why today's black fort The fork army bypassed the Tianzhu Mountains and invaded the south in an attempt to cut off our supply of manpower and food to the Temple of Heaven. I sighed, escaping from reality is not the solution after all, I can only return to the war with the Heicha people. The Zhutian Mountain Range is the largest mountain range in Pure Land. From east to west, it cuts the Pure Land Peninsula into two halves, protruding out of the sea like a cucumber with two heads, wide tails and narrow tails. It becomes a natural barrier. When it was captured, Zhutian and the castle built on it blocked the enemy's overwhelming military force, allowing the two cities in the south to escape the flames of war. It can be imagined that in desperation, Yaodi, the leader of the Heicha people, sent four armies, divided into three groups, Xi Zhu came together to attack Huo, Zuo Lingquan and Gong Lengming to attack Piaoxiang, while the remaining army of another group Xiang Qinsheng was leading the team and was in charge of blocking the Great Plains from Zhutian to Piaoxiang, but it was a pity that they met me. Now that Zuo Lingquan and Xi Zhutong have been captured and killed, the Heicha people must be in chaos, and even if the foreman Leng Ming and Xiang Qinsheng join forces, they will inevitably become a lone army that suffers from the enemy, because the Heicha in the north If the ghosts want reinforcements, they have to go on an expedition and bypass the eastern end of the Zhutian Mountain Range again. The situation is really in our favor. I frowned and said, "If the Heicha people want to send reinforcements to the south, how long will it take?" Hongshi Road: According to our guess, the way the Heicha people came to the south was to transport troops with huge ships, to Longtushui at the east end of Zhutian, then abandon the boat and land, pass through the East Gorge, along the grassland under the Jinyun Mountains, Arrive at Jinyun Mountain City, and then go southwest along the water and clouds from the mountain city to Wanmayuan outside Lishibao. If you follow this route, it will take 60 days at the fastest. I said in a deep voice: How many fighters can Piaoxiang and Zhuhuo cities send now without affecting the basic defense force. . Redstone obviously already had the answer: We can use 30,000 people.Looking at Niya, it was obvious that he couldn't make decisions for her. Niya said with a gloomy expression: I have brought all the manpower I can bring with me. The battle of Tianmenghe caused us heavy losses.That is to say, there are only 8,000 people. Only now did I understand how difficult it is to fight against the Heicha people. In the entire southern part of the Pure Land, there are less than 40,000 troops that can be assembled, while the opponent's army has a strength of 50,000. With 40,000 Sun Warriors, there is no danger. Fighting against the Heicha people who are overwhelmingly defending the plains and tactical force numbers is no different from suicide. Everyone fell silent, it was obvious that they were in a serious state of mind, and the joy of victory gradually faded. Priest Huayun sighed and said: In the war against the Heicha people, we were completely hopeless until the arrival of the great swordsman.Wisdom's beautiful eyes flashed deep sorrow. As the highest person in charge of managing flowers and fruit animals in the pure land, the ravages of the land by the black fork naturally made her most distressed. I really have a hard time and I know that I not only want to lead the Pure Land people to deal with the tyrannical Heicha army, but also to find a leader who is more terrifying than the Heicha people in this war-torn land, and prevent him from getting the Zhenwu Sword , or I am really that holy sword knight, but in the face of cold reality, I am as helpless as any other person. Shall I sit still and wait for the doomed victory?If it's just a beautiful misunderstanding, isn't it good fortune to trick people. Now my only bargaining chip is the identity of the Knight of the Holy Sword. Only this prophecy that the people of the Pure Land believe in can make me arouse the fighting spirit of the people of the Pure Land. My father once said that I was born a great swordsman and strategist, but can I recover from such a bad situation? All eyes were on me, waiting for my order. I collected my mind, smiled slightly and said: How long will it take to prepare before we can march north? Yue Shan was obviously the person in charge of this, and replied: Three days!Three days is enough. three days! I will leave this beautiful Fragrance City in three days, why the peaceful and comfortable life has never been with me?
