Twilight Boundary

"How long will it take to get to Shangjing at this pace?"

"Three more days."

In Shangjing, the ten surnames and the national teacher were anxious, and they burned incense in front of the ancestral temple. The King of Changsheng, who led the army from Yanzhou, was also anxious. Thirty thousand cavalrymen were lightly equipped and traveled day and night.

But along the way, strange things happened one after another, and King Changsheng became more and more uneasy. He angrily said: "Three days?"

"When we crossed the river earlier, you said it would only take three days. Now I have put down the baggage and only led the elite troops to ride lightly. Now I have rushed for more than a day, and you actually told me that it will still take three days?"

"There is no way. When has there been any peace along the way?"

The military advisor next to him heard this and immediately complained: "We have been targeted from the beginning..."

On the way, there were no boats and no food. I don't know how many strange things we encountered before and after.

At first, just after they rested at night, they heard foxes howling and ghosts crying everywhere, which made the soldiers in the tent panic and unable to sleep. From time to time, a small leader came to report that when his troops set out the next day, they counted the heads and found that several were missing.

I don’t know whether they slipped away at night or just disappeared.

But fortunately, there are many capable people in the army of King Changsheng. Hearing the foxes howling and ghosts crying, someone would be on duty at night. After going out for a walk, he brought back a few dead foxes.

Hearing that people would be eaten in the tent, they also dug a wasteland grave next to the army. The missing soldiers were buried in the graves, their throats were bitten and they died with their eyes open.

King Changsheng was furious and performed a ritual to suppress the evil. He gave the soldiers strong liquor and personally spoke to boost the morale of the army. Such monsters were rarely seen all of a sudden.

The monsters that wanted to come and harass were only driven by people, and they didn't even dare to collide with the groups of soldiers head-on.

They only dared to come out and cause trouble when they were exhausted after a long journey.

But no one expected that just after the fire was put out, smoke appeared over there. The military advisor who replied listened to the angry shouting of King Changsheng, angrily took out the map of the army, and shouted: "Your Majesty, we must have been calculated."

"From this map, plus the previous spies' findings, we should have to cross the river twice at most on this way to reach Shangjing."

"But now, we have seen three rivers just on this day of galloping!"

"Just now, the spies came back and reported that there is another river ahead, with wide waves and fast waves. There are no bridges or boats on the river, and there are black shadows floating back and forth in it. I don't know what is causing trouble below!"

"According to this, let alone three days, I am afraid we can't reach Shangjing in three months!"

"..."

After a few words, they suddenly heard thunder roaring above their heads, and in a flash, heavy rain fell.

Under the rolling lightning, all the soldiers were frightened. They only settled down a little after the soldiers pulled the horses hard.

But King Changsheng looked at the soldiers who had to endure the heavy rain in cloth robes and leather armor because their raincoats and rain gear were left on the car behind. His face darkened. He raised his head fiercely and glanced at the sky. He knew something was wrong and his face was a little angry.

"Moving mountains and rivers, thousands of miles of mud, it's amazing..."

His army was on the road, and their blood was vigorous. As long as they paid a little attention, they could easily prevent the surrounding demons and evil spirits from harming people. But now they can clearly see that those who want to stop their army from moving forward are actually some real talents.

Not to mention what kind of ability it is to quietly place a river there while the army is marching, just this heavy rain is enough to give him a headache.

Heavy rain fell, and the ground was muddy. The soldiers were in a hurry to get going. If they ran fast, even the best horses might stumble, and their speed would be slowed down. In addition, the soldiers were soaked by the rain, and their blood was gradually low.

When their blood was low, they might be taken advantage of by some evil spirits, and who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

"Brother Donkey..."

Just as he was thinking, he saw a man who looked like a young man in brocade clothes riding his horse in the rain.

The King of Changsheng also turned around and said, "Brother Pi, can you tell the origin of these magics?"

The young man in brocade clothes wiped the rain off his face and said, "It's not a small fight. I'm afraid there are capable people hiding in the dark, deliberately delaying our journey!"

The King of Changsheng was Mengzhou's captain, the Donkey, and the one who came over was a reincarnated person from Mengzhou, codenamed Wujiapi. Before the first reincarnated gathering, the two were still afraid of each other and secretly trained their troops.

But after the meeting, they found that they were both reincarnated, so they let go and raised their troops without hesitation. On the surface, they became enemies, but the fighting continued, attracting the attention of various forces.

As a result, the two of them fought and beat all the fence-sitters and thorns. Then the two of them "hit it off at first sight". Wujia Pi, the rich son, was convinced by King Changsheng and became the second son.

He also left a good story of a good talent meeting a wise king in Mengzhou.

Now that King Changsheng has swallowed up Yanzhou, his power has greatly increased. This time when they entered the capital, they were responsible for leading the army and rushed to Shangjing as promised, but they did not expect to encounter so many troubles on the way.

The King of Changsheng cursed angrily: "They are all a bunch of shady sorcerers. None of them dare to come out and fight my army head-on. They just hide in the dark and use evil magic to hinder my journey."

"I think these ten surnames, after all, they were born in the underworld, and now they have become nobles, and their methods seem dirty."

"..."

"Stop scolding, who made us spend all our efforts in the past few years on these soldiers and horses?"

Wujiapi said: "We made an appointment to bring the troops and horses to Beijing within three days. They even used the secret medicine of Si Ming to strengthen the blood of these horses and hurry up. But the ten surnames were unable to guard against it, so there was no way. ”

"Elite soldiers and strong generals are like living weapons to those in the sect. They can not only build up our momentum, but also have a surge of energy and blood. They can defeat the opponent's spells and strengthen our own momentum."

"Now in Shangjing, not only Daluo Dharma Sect has appeared, but many capable people from the ten surnames have gathered together, and there is also an army protecting the city. If our troops cannot be sent to Shangjing in time, then our people will If you fight with them there, you'll probably suffer big losses!"

King Changsheng said anxiously: "Then go to the spiritual temple quickly...go to the Qi altar and ask if there is any lover who can come and help."

"Break their evil spells!"

"..."

The two of them are not weak in ability, but this is already a battle thousands of miles apart. If they are not good at it, they can only do nothing.

At the same time, among the reincarnated people, countless people were impatient to set off with the army of King Changsheng. Instead, they used secret methods from various places to rush on their way. Some carried sedan chairs, some walked underworld, and some rode divine horses. , one who travels thousands of miles a day.

It's just that the reincarnated person's actions, although secretive, may be due to the dispatch of a large army this time. Shangjing City has been prepared for it, and endless changes have occurred in various places.

Someone followed the official road and hurriedly disguised his identity, pretending to be a merchant. However, while walking on the official road, he inexplicably ended up in a valley. He went around and around, unable to find a way out, and reached the bottom of the valley. , only to find that countless people had died here.

Actually, someone had been on guard against someone coming, and all the people walking along the official road in the past few days were led into this place and trapped to death.

There were also imps carrying the sedan, and as they were walking briskly, they heard someone laughing loudly in front of them:

"Stay here, friends."

"If you're on your way in such a hurry, why not take a break and drink a pot of tea?"

"..."

When I looked up, I saw people burning incense gathered in front of Fujun Temple in front of me, blocking the road coldly.

It was okay for one or two, but more and more people encountered this kind of thing, and they realized how powerful the Ten Surnames were now. They just secretly gave a password, and the big and small hall officials from all over the place started running errands and doing things.

With Shangjing as the center, large nets were cast in all directions. Indistinctly, the closer you got to Shangjing, the finer the net became, making walking difficult.

Of course, there are many reincarnated people who have gone on the bridge now. Even those who have not gone on the bridge are not weak in their abilities. It is rare that they are stumped by such things. However, no matter what, the journey is blocked, and only part of the journey is blocked. People with special skills arrived in Shangjing early.

But as soon as they arrived before going to Beijing, their faces darkened and their eyes narrowed.

Most of these people who were traveling so fast and elusive took advantage of the road to the underworld. They planned to go directly to Shangjing City, but when they were in the underworld, they found that they seemed to have lost their way and could not find Shangjing City. location.

So I could only choose to show up at a convenient place around Shangjing City, and then came on foot. I first saw the rows and rows of troops guarding the city.

"Haha, there are two or three kittens, wearing armor and carrying swords, pretending to be tigers, want to block my way?"

Immediately, someone sneered and shouted: "Brothers, I'm going to the city first, you can follow me quickly!"

While he was talking, a paper talisman was lightly burned, and black smoke enveloped his body, disappearing into the night. The dark wind blew straight towards the capital.

"Ouch!"

But after a few breaths, a slight commotion was heard in the dark military formation, and a figure rushed back with his head in his arms.

When he was far enough away, he yelled: "What a powerful bitch!"

"Not only are there too many people, it's easy to break the law, but there are also masters hidden inside..."

"..."

The scolding had not subsided, but bursts of gongs and drums were suddenly heard, and various ceremonial tents of various shapes were raised in the dark army in the capital, and rows of people dressed in Jianghu could be vaguely seen. Emerged from the military.

Some people sat in sedan chairs, some walked on foot, and some sat on horses. They were all well-dressed and impressive. They looked into the depths of the night with a smile:

"Twenty years ago, Su Wen heard that demons were so powerful that they overturned the world. We have longed for it, and we only regret that we never had the chance to see it."

"I know you want to enter this city, but it's useless to hide your head and show your tail. Why don't you come out and try your methods?"
