Lord of Nine Stars

Three months later, the snow vortex was due north, one hundred kilometers away.

Under the night, a group of people walked slowly to the wall, looking up at the name above the heavy city gate - Wang Tianque.

The thin golden characters are tough and lively, as thin as a blade, thin and powerful, and natural.

Seeing these three big characters, the little souls can't help but think of the line of poetry left by the old principal Mei Hongyu on the blackboard of the class.

Yes, the large characters on the city gate were indeed written by Mei Hongyu.

This is the first wall close to the snow vortex. The so-called "Tianque" is the snow vortex blooming in the sky.

But "Wangtianque" has more symbolic meaning.

Due to the frost and snow that roared out from the snow vortex from time to time, everyone could not really see the gap in the sky, they could only see a vast white patch of frost and snow.

After the battle of Longbei, the two largest soul beast armies in the soul beast buffer zone were completely eaten by the Xue Ran Army.

The leader of the Frost Beauty Corps had his body crushed into pieces by Sihua Nian and was treated as an iced drink by the vampire peach.

Thanks to the hard work of Xu Taiping, He Tianwen, and Rong Taotao, the Shang Jia Corps abandoned the mindless beast-shaped soul beast and returned to the snow whirlpool with its elite troops.

In just three months, the Xue Ran Army has built two magnificent walls in the Longbei War Zone.

One hundred kilometers away from the whirlpool in the sky, the first wall, the city gate: look at the sky.

Two hundred kilometers away from the whirlpool in the sky, the second wall, the city gate: the lotus falls.

The third wall is the farthest from the vortex in the sky, and it also has the largest amount of work. It is still in the process of construction at this time.

According to internal information obtained by Rong Taotao, the name of the city gate of the third wall will be named: Raolong River.

Wandering around the Dragon River, lotus flowers fall and the sky is missing.

Among the names of the three city gates, "Lotus Falls" seems a bit out of the ordinary, but it is this unique name that gives Rong Taotao supreme glory.

Because "Lotus Falling" is taken from Rong Taotao, from his heroic actions that set the tone of victory in the Battle of Longbei.

That night, the Qingshan Army quickly rushed to the battlefield, gathered the surrounding Xue Ran Army troops, and took the lead in charging into the battlefield to rescue the trapped Longxiang Iron Cavalry and Feihong Army.

It was on that night that nine giant lotus petals bloomed all the way, forcibly opening up a bloody path in the ferocious wave of soul beasts.

The nine giant lotuses in full bloom not only opened up a route for the soldiers to rush and rescue their comrades, but also caused the army of soul beasts to panic and cause a serious stampede, ensuring the Xue Ran Army's first mission that night. Execute normally.

All beginnings are hard!

No one can stop the car when it rushes forward. The difficult thing is how to defeat the enemy and how to rush forward.

In the end, the scene of Rong Taotao dying of exhaustion and breaking into lotus flowers and rivers flowing into the night sky has become a scene that the soldiers of the Snow Burning Army will never forget.

At this point, He Siling waved his hand, and the name Guan, which had the same word but different pronunciation with the traditional Chinese folk art form, was born.

As for the word "fall", it is unclear whether it describes the lotus petals falling like rain, or whether it refers to the death of Ye Rong Taotao and countless Xue Ran Army soldiers on the battlefield.

"Ka ka ka" As the city gate slowly opened, the Qingshan Army generals walked into Tianque City Pass and saw a scene like Wan'an Pass.

Antique buildings and streets decorated with lanterns and paper lanterns.

In fact, the climate and environment here are better than those in Wanan Pass.

You know, Wan'an Pass is only 50 kilometers away from the Snow Vortex in a straight line, while Tianque Pass is a full 100 kilometers away from the Snow Vortex.

A rough comparison shows that Tianque Pass can be regarded as Qianshan Pass, but one is in the north of the vortex and the other is in the south of the vortex.

The exhausted Qingshan Army officers and soldiers came to a brightly lit courtyard.

Finally, there was a sound in the silent team.

Rong Taotao sat cross-legged on the Trampling Snow Rhinoceros, looked at the courtyard gate, and said: "Every time I return to my new home, I feel that the headquarters at Wan'an Pass is particularly shabby."

"Gu~" Meng Mengxiao used a unique way to support Rong Taotao, effectively avoiding the embarrassment of no one paying attention to Rong Taotao.

The three-month mission has changed a lot for the fledgling little souls.

Although they are not as lifeless as when they first came out of Canyon 0, they all have serious faces and show their military temperament.

The battlefield is a very challenging place. Under the strict discipline and continuous tasks, the little souls gradually lose their former youthfulness.

Gao Lingwei was quite satisfied with Rong Taotao's words.

Compared to the small stone house in Wan'an Pass, the courtyard in front of you is much larger.

There are even two three-story stone buildings and a stable in the courtyard.

Li Meng took the lead and led the Qingshan Dragon Cavalry into the courtyard, just in time to catch up with Sun Xingyu coming out of the building.

Her pretty little face was filled with excitement and joy, and her little mouth muttered words such as "I'm back, I'm back".

Gao Lingwei saw this scene and followed Sun Xingyu's eyes and looked behind her. Li Zi, who was originally expressionless, seemed to come to life and stared at Sun Xingyu with burning eyes.

This scene even made Gao Lingwei feel that she didn't understand the style and was beating up the mandarin ducks.

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said softly: "Disband."

Li Ziyi immediately withdrew Xue Ye Jing and walked quickly towards Sun Xingyu who was waving her hands happily. Compared with other teams, the atmosphere of Qingshan Army is somewhat special.

It is said that the general's style determines the style of the entire army, and Gao Lingwei's laissez-faire towards his classmates is also the reason why the two of them are so unrestrained.

Rong Taotao parked his "car" in the stable, said hello to a group of Qingshan dragoons who had taken off their horse armor, and walked with heavy steps towards the small office building.

"Taotao." A soft and waxy voice came from the side.

Such a sound is rare in the army and is very recognizable.

"What's wrong, little Lihua?" Rong Taotao raised his hand and put it on Fan Lihua's shoulder.

Finally, Rong Taotao became the person he hated most.

Of course, he was really tired and his steps were a little sloppy. Rong Taotao was hungry and in urgent need of a big meal.

"You should talk to Zhao Tang sometime." Fan Lihua simply held Rong Taotao's arm and helped him move forward.

Of course the girl also knew Rong Taotao's difficulties. Although Rong Tao Tao Gui has the body of a lotus, don't forget that he is also surrounded by several lotus petals.

Rong Taotao consumes more physical energy than others, and coupled with the fact that he cannot guarantee to eat at all times when traveling on missions, this will indeed cost Rong Taotao's life.

"Zhao Tang." Hearing this, Rong Taotao was also in trouble.

On the night when Rong Taotao died in battle, something happened to Zhao Tang. Although it was not fatal, it was a huge blow to Zhao Tang.

In the few days after the Battle of Longbei, Zhao Tang could be described as "unconscious". The little souls also tried their best to comfort their companions, but with little success.

Fortunately, in the days that followed, Zhao Tang recovered a lot and conscientiously completed every order given by Gao Lingwei. However, he was much quieter and, well, more timid than before.

Rong Taotao thought that Zhao Tang had completely recovered. After all, he was a very strong and persevering soul warrior. Moreover, during their military career, the little souls have changed more or less, and it is normal for them to talk less.

But Fan Lihua was very attentive and still noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Tang's state. If others were talkative, it was simply because they were talkative. For example, Lu Mang's character was like this.

But Zhao Tang talks less because he is preoccupied.

Fan Lihua stood on tiptoes and whispered: "Zhao Tang seems to have a knot in his heart that he has never been able to open."

"Yeah" Rong Taotao pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

Beside her, Gao Lingwei followed up, looked at the kind-hearted little Lihua, and said softly: "You don't have to spoil him like this."

"Sister Dawei, I'll go back first." Fan Lihua's face turned red, she lowered her head and responded in a low voice, and walked away in a hurry.

Compared to Gao Lingwei, Fan Lihua prefers to communicate with Rong Taotao and does not feel pressured.

Although Gao Lingwei is only two years older than her and they are classmates, in Fan Lihua's heart, their positions have always been unequal.

Ever since Gao Lingwei was about to travel to compete two years ago, in the corridor of the performance martial arts hall where she was leaving, she pressed Fan Lihua and Sun Xingyu's heads with one hand and said that she would check their homework when she came back. Fan Lihua's inner mood was a little strange. .

Gao Lingwei was the undisputed leader of the Soul Class. He later became an assistant coach in the canyon, and now, he became the supreme commander of the Qingshan Army.

Over the past few years, when Fan Lihua faced Gao Lingwei, her heart was filled with respect.

"Look, you scared our little pear blossom." Rong Taotao glanced at Gao Lingwei, raised his elbow and put it on Gao Lingwei's shoulder.

Gao Lingwei was also a little helpless. The war and the army had changed the little souls a lot. However, the experiences of the past three months had very little impact on Fan Lihua.

Just like when she was taking the assessment in Canyon 0, Fan Lihua maintained her true intentions from beginning to end.

This girl is still shy and as cute as when we first met.

It is a blessing to have such a pear blossom in my little soul.

"What were you talking about just now?" Gao Lingwei put her arm around Rong Taotao's waist and pushed upward slightly, making Rong Taotao's steps become lighter.

Rong Taotao grinned: "She reminded me to pay attention to Zhao Tang's mental condition."

Gao Lingwei nodded thoughtfully: "In two weeks, the national competition will begin, and it's time to let the little souls go back."

Rong Taotao: "Huh?"

Gao Lingwei: "Two fences have been built, and the third fence is also in the intensive construction process. The battle situation in the Longbei War Zone has stabilized, and we can let the little souls go back.

At that time, I will recruit some of the old Qingshan Army troops back. "

Rong Taotao nodded lightly: "It's good to let them return to normal society and relax their minds. After all, they are just grown-up children."

Gao Lingwei raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Rong Taotao's profile: "Aren't you?"

Rong Taotao: "I am a man of steel!"

"Haha~" Gao Lingwei smiled, raised her arms a little harder, and continued to help Rong Taotao go upstairs without commenting.

Rong Taotao felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly changed the subject: "The little souls are used to the battlefield, and I am suddenly asked to go back to compete. I don't know if they will accept it.

Especially Jiao Tengda and Shi Lou, these two people should be very conflicted. "

"Just order them to go back and compete." Gao Lingwei's words were quite decisive, "You only have this chance to compete once in your life. It is a rare shining moment in your life.

I've been through it with you and tasted that.

Since the little souls have the opportunity, of course they have to experience it, which will make their lives richer. "

"Tsk, tsk." Rong Taotao said with a smile, "I can't tell, but you are still a good leader~"

Gao Lingwei smiled and glared at Rong Taotao. Although all the soldiers of the Qingshan Army were her comrades, Gao Lingwei's feelings for the little souls were undoubtedly deeper.

They are not only comrades-in-arms, but also classmates. They are a team that came out of the campus together. They can even be called a "big family."

"Take advantage of the opportunity to rest and hold a farewell ceremony for the little souls." Gao Lingwei said, came to the third floor and opened the office door.

She threw Rong Taotao on the guest sofa and said, "It's just a good time to reward the officers and soldiers of the Qingshan Army. They have worked too hard for three months."

Rong Taotao muttered dissatisfiedly: "You should be gentler."

"Um?"

"No, it's okay."

Gao Lingwei rolled her eyes at Rong Taotao, as if I was bullying you!

She pushed open the door inside the office, entered the lounge, and walked into the bathroom minding her own business.

Rong Taotao got up from the sofa, came to the desk, and picked up the intercom: "Zhao Tang, is Zhao Tang there?"

"Brother Tang is in the bathroom, we are in the dormitory, what do you want?" Jiao Tenda's voice came back.

Rong Taotao: "Ask him to come to Captain Gao's office, I'll wait for him."

"receive."

Within 2 or 3 minutes, Zhao Tang arrived at Gao Lingwei's office. At this time, Rong Taotao had already closed the inner door and was sitting on the sofa waiting for Zhao Tang.

Seeing the one-armed young man knocking on the door and entering, Rong Taotao hurriedly waved: "Come, come and sit."

It could be seen that Zhao Tang came in a hurry. Only his hands were clean, and they must have been washed recently. However, his face, including his snow camouflage, were all dirty.

"Taotao, what's the matter?" Zhao Tang walked in, sat on the independent sofa on the side, and looked at Rong Taotao silently.

The pair of tiger eyes that were supposed to be blazing no longer had the same elegance as they had a few months ago.

He was originally a man who became more courageous the more he fought and the more setbacks he got, but now he was reduced to an ordinary soldier of the Xue Ran Army. In him, Rong Taotao could no longer see the drive and spirit of the martial arts idiot in the past. .

This is terrible and a shame.

Rong Taotao organized his words and said, "After that night, you became a changed person."

Hearing this, Zhao Tang lowered his eyes and looked at his lonely palm: "I'm just more careful and cautious."

Caution is certainly a good quality, but it also comes with distinction.

Such words were naturally a good thing when applied to Jiao Tengda, but when applied to Zhao Tang, it completely smoothed out his edges and corners, made him become forward-thinking, and made him completely invisible to everyone.

Rong Taotao stood up and walked to the office door, threw a biscuit to Zhao Tang, and closed the office door: "Would you like to talk to me?"

"say what?"

"Tell me about your changes."

"Everyone changes."

"Yes." Rong Taotao came back, ate cookies, and sat down on the sofa. "Everyone will change, but I don't care about other people. I care more about the little souls."

Zhao Tang played with the biscuit bag with his lonely palm, remained silent for a long time, and then said: "Xu Yiyu saved me."

"Um."

Zhao Tang: "The sharp snow blade that came from nowhere is only separated from my arm by a thin layer of silk mist.

Before the weapon touched Silk Mist, the clothing was transparent, so I didn't know the existence of Silk Mieshang.

So watching the sharp snow blade fall, I also thought about my ending.

Thinking of me leaving the soul martial world and leaving the battlefield. I will spend the rest of my life in depression in an ordinary world, in a stable corner of the city. "

Rong Taotao opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Haha." A forced smile appeared on Zhao Tang's dirty face, "I would rather die on the battlefield.

Died on the way to charge. Death is a worthy death.

I can lose my life, Taotao, but I can't lose this arm. I can't bear the consequences. "

As he said that, Zhao Tang raised his lonely palm and said slightly excitedly: "You asked me why I changed, because I had to change.

I'm scared, Taotao.

Please forgive me for becoming timid and becoming a coward in your eyes! "

Zhao Tang's words became more and more excited and his voice became louder and louder: "I don't want to leave the soul martial world, I don't want to leave the Qingshan Army, let alone my companions!

This is my life!

I don’t want to sit at home for the rest of my life, watching news reports and watching how you struggle, and I can only be a spectator!

I am not you, Rong Taotao!

I can't be like you and return to the battlefield with all my limbs intact the next day, as if nothing happened! I."

"Click!" The inner door of the office suddenly opened.

Gao Lingwei walked out wearing training pants and black short-sleeves. She had a white bath towel on her head and looked at Zhao Tang expressionlessly.

Rong Taotao hurriedly raised his hand and pressed it gently: "It's a good thing to vent."

Zhao Tang lowered his head, rested his elbows on his knees, and covered his dirty face with his big, generous hands.

The three-month long life-and-death battlefield made every soldier involved physically and mentally exhausted.

At the moment when they rested, the tight strings relaxed, and it was impossible to overreact to any kind of overreaction among the soldiers.

What's more, Zhao Tang was hit hard.

Everything was as Zhao Tang said, he would rather die than lose his hand again.

Wrapped in horse leather, he died in his proper place.

But cutting off the only remaining hand ruined his ambition, his pride, and his life.

Zhao Tang lowered his head and covered his face with one hand. There were hot tears streaming down between his fingers. He said softly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't vent to you."

"My family, what are you apologizing for?" Rong Taotao comforted softly, but he sighed deeply in his heart.

The hemp rope is cut at the thinnest part, and suffering only seeks misfortune.

This son-of-a-bitch snow world is indeed too cruel to some people.

In this vast snowy environment, stories are happening all the time, and the heavy snow is also burying stories all the time.

But as someone who has experienced it personally, the taste of this story is too bitter.
