three watch drums

Chapter 55

It was two hours later that the group of corpses moved again. Since it was deep winter at this time, and Suizhou was located on the northern border, the time for the sky to darken was particularly fast. It was almost as if there was an opportunity for night to fall, and then the darkness came. Unstoppable shroud down.

The Iron Armored Army took this opportunity to continue to retreat, judged by the Jiantian Department and Qingyuan Guan, but at this time there were countless injuries in the army, which seriously slowed down the process, and the murderous corpse was under the control of the people behind the scenes, even if it could not attack, In the process, the encirclement circle was continuously narrowed, forcing the armored army from the desert into the canyon.

Although Suizhou is poor and desolate, it is the state capital with the largest land area in Dachu. Most of the areas cannot grow crops, and there are even few people. Therefore, many legends flow out, pointing to the dark and obscure side.

The valley that the Iron Armored Army entered by mistake is called "Tianlou". The mountain road in the middle is extremely narrow and cramped. , marching in such a narrow road, if you are not careful, you will die without a place to bury you.

What's more, there is another saying about this mountain. People who have lived in Suizhou for a period of time know more or less that there are monsters and beasts in the peaks of "Tianlou". skeleton.

Liu Jin was deeply troubled by this matter, but on the one hand, the mountains are majestic and the terrain stretches, looking for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack; on the other hand, this monster rarely does evil, and the deaths are almost all young people who are fighting fiercely to save face. On the contrary, the township is blessed by it, and the weather is good. In recent years, there have been no incidents that hurt people again, and as time goes by, they let it go.

At this moment, the Iron Armored Army was forced to do nothing, and it was also a helpless move in Tianlou Mountain. Su Baishi had already rushed to the state capital with three fast horses to ask for help, but there has been no news of the reinforcements so far. I don't know if it is Liu Jin's dereliction of duty, or this The letter could not be handed over to Liu Jin at all.

Seeing that the walking corpses are getting worse and the Iron Armored Army has no chance of winning, Sun Yi seems to have finally made up his mind.

He rode his horse to Su Baishi's side. Before he could get close, he was stopped by a guard on guard. Sun Yi raised his head, glanced down slightly, and said disdainfully, "Who are you to stop me?" car?"

The soldier is very young, he just took over to take charge of Su Baishi's safety, he may have just turned [-], but he looks even smaller, his beard hasn't grown much yet.Although he knew about Sun Yi, but after all, he had never really come into contact with him before, he was shocked by the official authority of the lord in charge for a moment, and said in his heart: How can he show off more than the general.

"Director Sun, the child is young, don't argue with him." Hearing the sound, Su Baishi turned his head and waved his hands, motioning for the left and right to let him go.

His light armor was covered with blood and brains, his face was not clean, except for the yellow sand and the green stubble on his chin, it was still a bit swollen, it took less than a day, but Su Baishi seemed to have not slept for three days and three nights It seems, full of exhaustion and dust.

It has only been half a year since Su Baishi came to Suizhou to take up his post. Before that, he was an adjutant of the Southwest Iron Armored Army. He was promoted because of his outstanding military exploits. He originally had the ambition to defend his family and the country. No one is in the same robe.

"General, before the prince left, he left me a black gold talisman." Sun Yi could be said to have sneered at Su Baishi's slovenly appearance. He even looked at Su Baishi stingily, and continued with a faint glance, "Maybe it can be done." Use it here."

Su Baishi was confused, he had heard of yellow talisman, red talisman, and ghost painting talisman, but he had never heard of black gold talisman, besides, since there are good things, why didn't they take them out early, so they were consumed in such a desperate situation?Didn't Sun Yimo get kicked in the head by a donkey?

Sun Yi seemed to have seen Su Baishi's thoughts, snorted coldly and said, "The black gold talisman is engraved with a pattern of armor characters, risking one's life for death, doomed to perish, do I look like a person who will sacrifice himself? "

"..." Su Baishi was actually speechless by this reasoning.

"Then Master Sun is going to teach me how to use this black gold talisman?" Su Baishi continued, "It's just that time is running out, and there will be another big battle. I am afraid that before dawn, our entire army will be wiped out in this mountain... Su Someone who is not studious and intelligent, the person in charge should say something simple and clear, so that I can remember it in a short time."

"Bah," Sun Yi said angrily, "The Jia character pattern is the most strange and changeable. Some people have been practicing for decades and still can't get started. The general is very angry."

"..." Su Baishi felt that he often didn't understand what Sun Yi was thinking—this and that were not acceptable, why did he say anything about things that had no solution?

Sitting on the horse, Sun Yi can only see the vast expanse of waves below the cliff and the long line of sky above the valley, and only a little bit of the dim sunlight is still fighting against the darkness, like an unyielding bull. I don’t know how long it will last .

"Does the general know which county is after Suizhou?" Sun Yi asked suddenly.

"But Changping?" Su Baishi replied.

"Does the general know where I am from?" Sun Yi looked away and asked again. This time, without waiting for Su Baishi's response, he continued on his own, "Changping people. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of attacking Suizhou and going to Changping , if Suizhou is destroyed, Changping will not escape the catastrophe."

Su Baishi didn't answer. He seemed to understand what Sun Yi wanted to say and what he wanted to do. It's transparent and proud, but it's usually hidden too deep. I'm afraid it used more than a dozen layers of dragon-breaking stones, and there is no trace of it leaking out.

"People who cultivate the Tao can call their homes all over the world, and they can stop in the caves of fairy mountains. In fact, there is no big difference between Badu and Dachu. ...It's just that Sun's practice is not enough, and I still have a sense of difference between people, not to mention countries."

Sun Yi rode his horse, turned his horse's head and went backwards on the narrow mountain road, "If General Su has the opportunity to go to Changping in the future, can you bring me a sentence--that Yifei is a person who does not do business properly and does not think about making progress. Parents ask for it." I don’t want to go, I want to go somewhere, I just hope that others will not come again.”

Su Baishi watched Sun Yi's back disappear from his field of vision, he suddenly got off his horse, rushed to the southwest direction and bowed his hands.

At last the sun had completely disappeared from the sky, and the long night fell again.

At this moment in Suizhou City, Zhuo Yuemen was standing on the roof with his hands behind his back. In his field of vision, Tianlou Mountain was just a continuous shadow. Whether it was corpses strewn across the fields or blood flowing into rivers, in the peaceful Nothing is missing under the surface.

"National Teacher." Liu Jin had a soft and gentle face. The wrinkled nose was not a nose, and the eyes were not eyes.

He was holding a dirty request for help, presumably in such a situation, Su Baishi would not be able to spare himself to clean himself up, the paper was full of blood and dust, there was no need to write anything, just One look at the front line is tight.

But Zhuo Yuemen kept stopping Liu Jin from sending troops, saying that it was not the time yet, but Liu Jin turned around in a hurry but couldn't do anything, seeing that the whole person was going to lose a lot of weight.

"National teacher," Liu Jin continued, "If we don't send troops to help, our border in Suizhou will be worrying..."

A beam of light suddenly fell from the towering peak of Tianlou Mountain, and then there was a loud noise, even Suizhou Mansion, dozens of miles away, heard a lingering sound, the ground trembled, and Liu Jin was so scared that he forgot the second half. Sentence stubble.

"What... what's wrong?" Liu Jin's eyes widened, a little at a loss.

"Someone from the Tianjian Department has entered Taoism." Zhuo Yuemen was not surprised. He fell from the roof and stopped lightly in front of Liu Jin. "Send troops, I will go with you."

"Yes!" Liu Jin suddenly looked serious, rubbed his tired eyes, and hurried down to dispatch troops.

In less than half an hour, an army of tens of thousands of people quietly marched towards Tianlou Mountain under the moonlight. Zhuo Yuemen took the lead, but he went in the opposite direction. He circled in a big circle and headed for the enemy's rear .

The "horse" under Zhuo Yuemen is actually a tall donkey. All war horses in the army are used for other purposes, and the folks can't recruit them for a while. Fortunately, there is a meat donkey in the back kitchen, and it was pulled out for no reason. .

This donkey's life is not good. It is the hero of the donkey who is brave in the wind and sand, and will be made into broth when he comes back.

Zhuo Yuemen didn't use spells, he didn't seem to want to disturb the people on the opposite side, flat official roads are more suitable for animals with four hooves than narrow valleys, and this meat donkey is very competitive, and it can run fast.

When the letter from Su Chan was delivered to Zhuo Yuemen, an ominous premonition arose in his heart, like a gloomy cloud of calamity lingering.

In fact, Zhuo Yuemen has already arrived in Suizhou, but if someone crosses the catastrophe, there will be omens in the sky.Su Chan and Xie Changlin were unaware of the black mist covering both sides of the Wuming River, and those who had never survived the catastrophe didn't understand the omens. In order not to interfere with the way of heaven, Zhuo Yuemen could only drag Liu Jin away from sending troops.

Unexpectedly, in this catastrophe, more than one person has gained the Tao, Zhuo Yuemen can't imagine that Suizhou looks like a piece of gold, but in fact, it is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and even the meat donkey raised for food seems to be ready to become fine all the time look.

On the other side, Xie Changlin finally approached Tianlou Mountain. He blocked and killed gods all the way, and Buddhas blocked and killed Buddhas. Soul murderous corpse.He came here for Ji Renyu, and now Xie Changlin only had one thing in his heart - he wanted revenge, and mountains and rivers could not stop him.

Several parties finally gathered at the foot of Tianlou Mountain. The great battle came to an end after countless meaningless sacrifices. People hidden behind the scenes came to the fore, but Sun Yi was still standing at the entrance of Tianlou Mountain. There are countless walking corpses lying in front of them, and their souls have been separated and are no longer used by others.

A bright moon was in the sky, and the cold light shone on Sun Yi's shoulders. The closed-eyed person still had a lofty expression. The road to the road is long, death has passed, and there are still countless ups and downs in the next life. Sun Yi's days are still long.
