Devil’s Advent

Near the oasis where Zhenbeihou Mansion is located, there are barbarian tribes living together. However, they are no longer pure barbarian tribes. They are like wolves on the grassland, tamed into domestic dogs.

When the first Marquis of Zhenbei guarded northern Xinjiang, he accepted the patriarchs of four barbarian tribes as his adopted sons, and gave him the surname "Li".

Therefore, it also appeared in history that Zhensha Tuo Beihou, who was just in his early twenties, sat on the first seat, facing the worship of four gray-haired patriarchs, and called him "Father".

When there is a battle, the four major Guiyi tribes will be recruited from the young and strong to form barbarian cavalry to assist the Zhenbei Army in the battle. From the standpoint of the barbarians, they are barbarians.

But the most ruthless thing about the first Marquis of Zhenbei was that he liked to establish rules, not only for his own descendants, but also for others.

For example, in order to prevent the four major Guiyi tribes from growing larger and breeding tigers due to the protection of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, he stipulated that every three years, the population of the Guiyi tribe needs to be verified. According to the different needs of each period, Make a ruling on its population, and if it exceeds the red line, it will be dealt with immediately.

Therefore, every year when the approved year comes, many newborns of the four major Guiyi tribes will be drowned by their parents in that year, which is called... the policy of reducing children.

This policy is indeed cruel, but it is very effective. For a hundred years, the four major Guiyi tribes have been bound to the chariots of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, and they dare not go beyond the rules.

However, tonight, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Duobu of the four major Guiyi tribes, there was a tent that was extremely lively.

Ten priests in black robes and human skull necklaces formed a circle and began to sing and dance, and one after another obscure spells came from their mouths;

This is the oldest song in this desert land.

Once, countless years ago, the ancestors of the desert barbarians would sing this funeral song when they bid farewell to their deceased relatives and friends.

An ancient jade-colored scepter stands in the center, shining brightly with the singing of ten priests.

Outside the tent, a white-haired old man in a red robe was looking up at the starry sky;

And beside the old man, there was a strong middle-aged man standing. It was already night, but the man was still shirtless. On his body, there were black lines flowing slowly under the starlight.

"Then Tagayang, have you covered up your father's side?" the old priest asked.

"Reporting to the high priest, tonight I asked the woman my father loved recently to drug my father's drink, and my father will sleep until noon tomorrow.

The warriors guarding this area are also my confidantes, and there is absolutely no problem. "

"It's rare, it's rare, it's rare that there are loyal warriors like you in those many books."

"Brave God, that Doga Yang never forgot that he is a descendant of the Barbarian God, every day he looks forward to the return of the royal court and leads us to expel the Yan people!"

"Well, unfortunately, your father is stubborn, and the other three tribes have already forgotten their identities."

"My father, he is old, he is afraid of death, he has lost his faith, and he has shamed the wild gods!

The Yan people are cruel. I have to witness every three years that newborns in the tribe are drowned amidst the crying of their parents. The Yan people treat us like dogs under their feet! "

"However, many people want to be dogs!"

Speaking of this, the voice of the old priest was clearly angry.

Because it's not that the Wang Ting has never dealt with the four major Guiyi tribes, but so far, it has only absorbed the eldest son of those tribes, Nadakayang.

This is also a very normal thing. For the past hundred years, the Zhenbeihou Mansion has been in a strong position.

Something's up, fight barbarians;

It's okay, let's beat the barbarians;

The previous generation of Marquis Zhenbei went too far,

It's his birthday, so let's celebrate it;

It's his mother's birthday, so let's celebrate it;

Emperor Yan celebrates his birthday, so he also wants to celebrate it with the Ministry of Man;

The weather is good today, let's play the barbarian department!

This generation of Marquis Zhenbei did not fight as frequently as the previous generation.

But the old priest knew that it was not because this generation of Zhenbei Hou "suddenly became kind", but purely because when his father was in power, the commander of the Zhenbei Army beat the barbarians too hard. It's about to collapse.

Perhaps, in the eyes of this generation of Zhenbei Hou, only this kind of barbarians who seem to be organized but can't be organized at all are the most peaceful barbarians, because they will keep fighting internally.

How could the four Guiyi tribes take the initiative to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" before the Zhenbeihou Mansion showed signs of decline?

"Even that Zuo Guli King is an idiot!"

The old priest scolded Shatuo Queshi again.

That was a genius barbarian boy he personally discovered from the Shatuo tribe. Although he did not follow the path of a barbarian master in the end, he was surprisingly talented in martial arts.

A third-rank martial artist, on the battlefield, one person can stop a thousand knights!

In the words of later generations, it is equivalent to a country's strategic nuclear weapon.

As a result, after learning that Sha Tuo's tribe had been wiped out, Sha Tuo Que Shi first knelt under the barbarian king's tent for three days and three nights, begging the barbarian king to give him 3,000 barbarian cavalry, and he was going to avenge the Yan people!

The barbarian king didn't dare to see him.

The meaning is very clear. Once the Shatuo Department is destroyed, it will be destroyed. Once Wang Ting reacts too aggressively and completely offends the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, once the Zhenbei Army's 300,000 cavalry arrives, Wang Ting They may not be able to keep it!

I went to persuade him myself, and the virtuous kings of the left and right also went to persuade him.

But after kneeling for three days and three nights, he actually handed over all his seal and the golden knife symbolizing the supreme glory of King Zuoguli. He said that he is now a white body and has nothing to do with the royal court.

Since Wang Ting is not going to speak, he will ask for an explanation by himself.

The bastard!

He actually ran to the gate of Zhenbeihou's mansion alone to die!

In order to train him, Wang Ting put in so much painstaking effort, and the barbarian king gave him so much honor, he actually just went to die so casually!

In the past two days, every time he thought of this, the old priest felt extremely painful in his heart.

When Sha Tuo Queshi "resigned from office" and left, King Zuoxian brought two guards to stop him, but he beat him out forcefully.

Since then, Wang Ting began to arrange this matter by him.

Sha Tuo Que Shi, since his death is irreversible, then his body is the interest recovered by the royal court.

The body of a third-rank martial artist, who had slaughtered many people before his death, was filled with evil spirits. If he could retrieve it and refine it, he could make it into a puppet infinitely close to a third-rank martial artist.

In terms of refining corpse puppets, the priests of the royal court have absolute experience.

The old priest had heard that the Yue people tribe in the depths of Daze in Chu State also had the custom of refining corpse puppets, but the old priest didn't think that the mere Yue people's method of refining corpses could be compared with his own.

At this time, the tent was lifted from the inside, and a priest bowed and said:

"The great priest has been summoned."

"good."

The high priest glanced at Na Duo Jiayang who was standing beside him, and Na Duo Jiayang immediately puffed up his chest and said in a deep voice:

"Please rest assured, the high priest, I will ensure the safety of this place, and no one will come to disturb you!"

"Jiang, when the matter here is over, you can find a reason to say that you are bedridden and unable to see others, and then come to the royal court, and I will let you go to the sacrificial hall to practice."

Kaya immediately knelt down,

Sincerely said:

"Thank you for cultivating the great priest!"

"Um."

The high priest reached out and patted Kangar on the shoulder,

road:

"You have to believe that the days to come are still very long. As the descendants of the barbarian gods, we will eventually dominate this world again!"

finished speaking,

Leaving Kangar, who was still boiling with blood, the high priest walked into the tent.

"Let's get started, recall our warrior! Let him return to the tent of the barbarian as a warrior!"

"God is on top!"

"God is on top!"

The ten priests knelt down collectively,

Everyone had a dagger in their hands, cut open their palms, and let the blood start to flow along the ground under their feet, and finally gathered in the ancient jade-colored scepter.

The high priest spread his arms,

shouted:

"Come on... come... let's go... come... yo..."

…………

In the room of the Hou Mansion, Zheng Fan was lying on the bed, holding the stone where the magic pill was sealed, bouncing and bouncing.

He was regurgitating what the sixth prince said at night, the sixth prince is a smart man, Zheng Fan has no doubts about that.

What he said at night already implied too much information, and with his identity, he must have seen through some tricks that even the ministers of the court could not understand.

In the north, something big is going to happen.

In fact, according to the blind man's original plan, Hutou City is only suitable for the first stronghold, and when it develops to a certain level, it has to change nests.

The Zhenbeihou Mansion, like a huge monster, stands on the northern plain, which is too restrictive for development.

So, are you really going to the south to open up?

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock at the door,

Then came the voice of the sixth prince:

"Lieutenant Zheng, get up and watch the show!"

…………

"Ah Choo!"

"Ah Choo!"

"Ah Choo!"

The sixth prince sneezed three times in a row. His body was clearly unable to bear the cold wind, especially when he was still riding a horse and not in his warm carriage.

"Lieutenant Zheng, aren't you cold?" The sixth prince curiously asked Zheng Fan who was also riding a horse beside him.

"Two sets of clothes have been added under the humble armor."

"Didn't you remind Gu earlier?"

"Your Highness didn't ask me."

"Come here, come here, have you seen those three barbarians?" The sixth prince pointed to the front and whispered to Zheng Fan.

"Saw."

"Those are the patriarchs of the four major Guiyi tribes under the jurisdiction of the Hou Mansion, and three of them have come."

"And one more?"

"Here, take a look around."

Zheng Fan looked around and quickly understood.

At the gate of the school field, there were already densely packed horses and soldiers at this time. In the cold wind, they were still lined up neatly, and their murderous aura was so strong that it was almost suffocating.

"Look, the old lady has come out."

Zheng Fan looked forward and found a chariot slowly driving out of the army formation.

The combat tool of the chariot has long been eliminated in this era, and now it is mostly used by the commander of the army or used as a prop for sacrificial activities.

And this chariot was driven by eighteen horses, and two generals stood at the front of the chariot.

One holds a longbow and the other holds an iron sword;

Behind the two generals stood a woman in golden armor.

The woman is old, but the years seem to be especially kind to her.

Zheng Fan knew that the reason why he came to the Hou's mansion this time was because of the old lady's 50th birthday, but the woman in the golden armour, it is hard to connect her with a 50-year-old woman.

Beside the old lady, stood a young general in red armor, this Zheng Fan knew, he was the princess.

"The seven generals of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, the one with the bow is called Li Chenghui. When he fought against the barbarians in the early years, he once went deep into the desert alone. When he came back, he carried the thumbs of dozens of barbarian eagle shooters on his body.

The man holding the sword is called Li Liangshen, and his swordsmanship has already reached its peak. The Sword Master of the Jin Kingdom once came to the Hou Mansion to look for him. Head down.

It is said that they are all in the realm of third-rank warriors, the same as Shatuo Queshi who knocked on the door the day before yesterday. "

Zheng Fan nodded upon hearing this.

They are all big bosses, and this ostentation is really big.

It was thanks to the sixth prince that he was able to stand so close to witness this scene.

Oh, by the way, what did the overlord of Western Chu say when he saw the first emperor's Luanjia?

The chariot stopped,

All the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army standing around raised their weapons together,

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

The three chiefs of the barbarian tribe walked forward tremblingly. When they were still some distance away from the chariot, the three of them knelt down together and prostrated themselves.

Among the three patriarchs, except for one who is middle-aged, the other two are all gray-haired old men, who must be much older than the old lady.

But at this time,

The three patriarchs kowtowed in fear and trepidation together:

"The child sees grandma, and grandma lives forever!"

"The patriarch of the Guiyi tribe is the adopted son of the Zhenbeihou of all generations. No matter their age or seniority, even if the current Houye is a brat, they still have to respectfully call him father."

The sixth prince explained to Zheng Fan in a low voice.

"Old man, I can't afford this great gift."

"The child is guilty!"

"The child is guilty!"

The three patriarchs grabbed the land with their heads.

"May I ask, are there any children who betray their parents in this world?" the old lady asked.

Zheng Fan immediately looked at the sixth prince.

The sixth prince was stared at a little unnaturally, and he said angrily: "Father and son are fighting for property and even killing each other. Don't just stare at my royal family."

"There are so many books, I changed my mind. Master Hou is not at home, so you look down on the orphan and widow of the Li family?"

The old lady said slowly.

"My boy is willing to mention the warriors in the tribe, and bloodbath those tribes for my mother!"

"Those many departments are anti-virtuous, and they are in vain of the kindness of the Marquis Mansion. They should be punished!"

The three patriarchs immediately pointed to the sky and swore to fight.

The old lady lowered her eyes,

Opened the mouth and said:

"Before dawn, I want those multiple copies, and I will never hear the cry of a sheep again.

If you can't do it, disobedient children, incompetent children, and old people don't bother to ask for it. "

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"Tiger!"

"The child obeys!"

"The child obeys!"

"The child obeys!"

The three chiefs immediately got up and went back to their respective tribes to gather the warriors.

The soldiers in the school grounds also began to line up and leave the school grounds. When the three divisions crusade against the other divisions, the Zhenbei Army will hold the line outside!

The old lady stood on the chariot, moving slowly with the Chinese army, she really had the demeanor of the old lady She, a general of the Yang family.

It's just that the stories of Madam She are mostly fictional, but the prestige of this old lady is real.

Compared with the powerful and terrifying aura of the old lady, the princess standing beside her was as cute and small as a quail.

"Anne must fight outside first."

Zheng Fan said with emotion.

The sixth prince looked at Zheng Fan suspiciously, and asked:

"I'm just curious, where did you get so many golden sentences?"

Zheng Fan sighed, and replied with a perfunctory attitude that I am just perfunctory you and I am too lazy to pretend that I am not perfunctory you:

"read more books."

"Death."

"Aren't we going to see it together?"

"Why did you go there? Those barbarians are as heartless as they are. Once they know that they can't survive and there is no hope, they may not be able to earn enough money like that King Zuoguli.

Gu, Prince Dayan, is their favorite target. Gu Du has already been assassinated once, so why would he go again with a shy face?

Captain Zheng, can you help Gu block another stab? "

"I didn't know that His Highness is an idle prince before I became humble."

"You are too real!"

The school yard was already empty. Just as Zheng Fan was about to ride back home with the sixth prince, he saw a shirtless man holding a pair of hammers walking slowly under the archway.

"Li Yuanhu, one of the seven generals of the Zhenbei Houfu." The sixth prince said.

This general with double hammers was the one who fought against Sha Tuo Que Shi that day when Sha Tuo Que Shi knocked on the door.

However, the general now has iron spikes on his back, and there are still clear blood stains left, and he looks like he is wearing a sinful body.

"boom!"

The double hammers were smashed to the ground by Li Yuanhu, and two pits immediately appeared on the ground;

He himself sat cross-legged,

look up,

Staring at the remnant corpse belonging to Shatuo Queshi hanging above.

"I'm waiting for you, this time, I won't retreat again."

in the cold wind,

The corpse of Sha Tuo Que Shi was still floating there gently.

On the periphery, another group of strong and strong soldiers of the Beibei Army stood awe-inspiringly, holding battle axes and thick shields.

"Lieutenant Zheng, why does Gu think that looking at this posture and this corpse, what kind of trouble will happen?"

The sixth prince has a smart mind, although he is not allowed to practice martial arts, he quickly noticed something strange.

Zheng Fan nodded seriously,

road:

"So it's better to promote the cremation of corpses earlier."

………

desert,

dune;

The wolf cub who had almost fallen asleep suddenly opened his eyes, and lay on the ground clutching his dagger tightly in his hand, listening to the tremors from the ground.

Si Niang stood on the sand dunes, looking at the black torrent rolling forward under the moonlight in the distance,

Opened the mouth and said:

"Liang Cheng, things seem to have changed a bit."

The original play of a gentleman on the beam seems to be turning into the host's invitation to the urn.

Liang Cheng slightly opened his eyes, looked at Siniang,

road:

"They are calling for the corpse that is about to enter the evil spirit, and let it go straight back to the royal court after the corpse is transformed."

Si Niang looked at Liang Cheng suspiciously,

asked:

"Then what?"

"Then, because both parties are in the same channel, I seem to be able to summon that corpse."

"Then give it a try and change its coordinates from Wang Ting to Hutou City... Oh no, Meijiawu."

Liang Cheng frowned slightly,

Si Niang saw this,

asked:

"What's wrong?"

"That corpse doesn't know me, and won't respond to my call. Generally speaking, corpses will respond to things that they were more familiar with before they were alive."

Siniang hesitated for a moment,

road:

"Then ask him if he still remembers Chongqing Hot Pot, Shaanxi Sausage Noodles, and Northeast Chaotic Stew!"
