intoxicating

——Huan Qisuo——

Ran Yan followed the convoy into the gate of the imperial city, looking back, there were bursts of shouts in the capital.

He vaguely remembered that on the day of the swearing-in meeting, it was the same in the army, the sound shook the world, and every soldier believed that their army was invincible and invincible.

"Kill Huashi kid."

"Kill Hua Shi'er, and take his head as a sacrifice to the flag."

"Sacrifice the flag! Sacrifice the flag!!"

There was also a flower character on the flag that day, but it was not the flower of Huazhi, but the flower of Huaqiong.

It is unheard of for Ting Wei to lead troops to the expedition.

Even if the situation is unexpected, everyone still believes that Huang Qi will win, and their God of War cannot lose.

The setting sun is low, and the forest crow sings alone.

Everything is like a dream.At that moment, he didn't know if he would return to the situation at the beginning of the war.

On the way back, Ran Yan passed a village. The people in the village were cooking dinner, and there were children's laughter in the fence. They didn't know the defeat, and they didn't know what was waiting for them.

"Big brother, do you want to have dinner together?" A little girl tugged at his sleeve.

"I'm sorry, but the child just speaks freely. This little man, if you don't mind, let's try the peasant woman's crude skills."

Ran Yan opened his mouth, his voice stuck in his throat, he knew that he must look very bad at this moment.

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps from far to near.

The peace and tranquility in the village was completely destroyed, and blood spread from the battlefield to this small village.

"You don't want to die, rush to hit the knife..." Someone stopped him, and then Ran Yan woke up. The person who held him was a man who looked like an officer.

"Let go, this is Qianhua's business and has nothing to do with you."

"Heh, we don't care about Qianhua people killing Qianhua people, but now this place belongs to Xuefu and is His Majesty's territory..." After the man finished speaking, he turned to the young man on the horse and said, "General Hua, the people in the village They are all dead, only one passing by is still alive."

"Buried."

"What about him?"

"Where did you come from, where are you going back..." Hua Zhi said impatiently, and then urged the soldiers, "Daddy has planned a banquet in the city, so hurry up, if it's late, no one is allowed to drink tonight."

"Let's go..." the officer urged.

Ran Yan's hand moved, and he lowered his gaze. His hands were covered with blood at some point, and his clothes were also covered with blood. The peasant woman and child who had just talked to him before long fell in a pool of blood, and there was a man lying next to him. There was a soldier's corpse, in the style of Qianhua. The soldier came and carried away the three corpses.

Ran Yan couldn't remember exactly why this war started, and he couldn't even remember how he got back.

The long time will beautify the war, let the disillusionment of each family disappear in the long river, leaving only the ode to the winner.

If war is compared to playing chess, then the chess players are the major families, the royal family, and civil servants and military generals trapped in the vortex of power, and the army is their chess pieces. Ordinary people are not even counted as chess pieces.

"Wake up, wake up."

Who was arguing with him and kept him from sleeping.

"Wake up, you can't think, forget these things, they are all in the past."

The voice seemed urgent, but not very obvious, Gong Lingxi vaguely remembered that it shouldn't be like this, the voice should be colder and calmer.

Struggling to open her eyelids, Gong Lingxi said, "Why is it you?"

"Why can't it be me?"

Gong Lingxi twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a smile, Zuo Xiyou was about to say something, when Gong Lingxi suddenly covered his chest, a heavy force made him suffocate.

"Suiqingsuo?" Zuo Xiyou said, "It's really a wave of ups and downs, and a wave of it rises again."

Just after walking out of Huanqi Shuo, there is another Suiqing lock.

Ten minutes ago, the territory of the King of the North;

Zuo Xiyou had just dealt with a group of monsters, and was about to enter the temple when he heard the sound of crying.

A person in a white coat picked up the baby, and another person approached and chatted with him.

"I heard that an S-rank was released yesterday."

"I'm really envious, if one day we have an S-class here."

"Don't be an idiot, what we get are mass products that will be used as cannon fodder on the battlefield sooner or later. Only from others can we get the future elites, the pillars of this country."

"But it's been built here for a long time, so there hasn't been a miracle?"

"It's also natural selection, but there are miracles, but they have warships, but we still have bicycles."

While talking, the two put the baby into an apparatus.

That same day, the baby was transferred to another nursery and his caretaker changed.

There is an endless stream of people who want to see him every day. From the gossip of those people, Zuo Xiyou knows that many people have submitted applications for training, but none of them have passed.

Until one day, a person walked up to him. At that time, he was just five years old, the age to leave the nursery.

The man looked very young, but he didn't like to smile, his face was always dark, people around him didn't dare to approach him, even talking to him, they were trembling with fear.

He has nothing at home, only a robot that manages the room, and a robot that looks after Zuo Xiyou.

From childhood to adulthood, there were only two living people in this house, Zuo Xiyou and him. He didn't even bring a woman back. When he came back every day, apart from asking him about his homework, he was testing his sword skills.

This kind of life is somewhat boring to others, but to Zuo Xiyou who is used to this kind of life, it feels at ease.

Zuo Xiyou overheard that someone advised him to raise more children, and if one failed, he could choose from others.

"Knight's sword sounds nice, but everyone knows what kind of qualification it is. Brothers in the army will not be convinced by such a successor."

The man argued hard and presented various status quo, but he didn't express anything.

The man left disappointed, he also got up, opened the door, behind the door was Zuo Xiyou who was eavesdropping.

"Did you hear that?"

"Listen... here it is..." Zuo Xiyou lowered his head, he was less than ten years old at the time, and he didn't dare to look at the person in front of him at all.

"This is what you have to face in the future. If you want to hold your chest high and not be afraid of rumors, then show something to prove that I am not wrong, that you can exceed their expectations, and that I can make the future of the empire Into your hands."

Later, he left elementary school and entered middle school, where his primary school classmate Yu Qiao lived in the same dormitory.

In order to exercise himself, Zuo Xiyou was able to stay in school less and less time, and only occasionally went back to school to do some formalities, but heard gossip about himself.

"Ah, is that Zuo Xiyou?"

"I can't see it at all."

"You say him or Jiang Qianming, who will win?"

"Jiang Qianming."

"But he is borderline."

"So what's the critical point? Didn't the other critical point lose? I heard that he was admitted to the hospital. What's the use of being bright and talented? When you are young, you may not be good. There are too many people. Maybe Zuo Xiyou is just a halo. .”

"It's been a while."

"Then did you see that he has done anything? Has he won any awards? Isn't he absent from class every day with his special status."

"Stop talking, you'll be heard."

"I just said, so what if he hears it, this is the truth."

The long sword was unsheathed, and the shadow of the sword was heavy, cutting off the invisible thread that bound him.

Opening his eyes again, he saw the dark city in front of him again. There was no sound of people in the city, only corpses.

No, there are others.

Is it Miya Lingxi?Still new memories.

In his memory, he had never seen a similar scene.

"Wake up, you can't think, forget these things, they are all in the past."

Under his shaking, Gong Lingxi opened her eyelids, and the first sentence she spit out was, "Why are you?"

It's really a strange question, but he didn't have time to think about it, "Why can't it be me?"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave here. Both of them were hit by Huan Qisuo, which meant that Bi Xian was nearby, hiding somewhere and waiting for an opportunity. The place in front of the temple was the easiest place to become a target.

However, something happened to Gong Lingxi at this time, and a mark of a lock faintly appeared on her forehead.

"Suiqingsuo, it's really a wave of ups and downs, and a wave of another wave."

Zuo Xiyou put one hand under his armpit and hugged his legs with the other, "Let's get out of here first."

"Xiyou, let me down."

Zuo Xiyou hesitated, not knowing what Gong Lingxi saw just now, but it obviously fed Sui Qingsuo.

"It's two to one now. If Bi Xian is resolved here, the situation will be in our favor..." Gong Lingxi's feet just touched the ground, her body was unstable, and she almost fell down the steps.

In the south, Han Yichen turned around and found no suspicious person, so he could only walk back to the teleportation array.

Hearing the chaotic sounds from outside, and the sound of close combat, Han Yichen suddenly felt like he was out of the curse. If the map had a brain twitch, he would have to hang around in these peaceful places that could no longer be peaceful, and his head would be saved. However, they did not play the role of combatants at all.

As soon as he stepped out of the temple, he saw a carriage stopped in front of the temple, his eyes met, it was a fellow villager.

Xi Fu, who was wandering in the air, stopped in mid-air, his eyes were attracted by a carriage, his wings flapped, his whole body fell like a meteorite, and the surrounding air became dull and hot.

"Be careful..." Han Yichen said.

Xie Qingyu put away the chariot, leaving a scorched black spot where it was originally parked, several beams of light rose, blocking Xi Fu's charge, and several more beams of light rose from the back of Xi Fu, Xi Fu didn't bother to fight, and flew into the sky .

"He flew away, it will be difficult to catch him again..." Xie Qingyu said with regret.

"Don't worry about him, he will come down by himself anyway."

"What if he doesn't come down?"

"The pride of the gods shall not be profaned."

"Sometimes pride is also a burden..." Xie Qingyu sighed, "For example, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, but a proud person does not allow himself to fail, but will be instigated by someone with a heart to act aggressively."

"Senior, what you said seems like we have a heart."

"I didn't say that..." Xie Qingyu spread his hands.

"Maybe we can think about it from a different angle..." Han Yichen said, "Proud people don't allow themselves to fail, and they have stricter requirements on themselves than others, so they make progress faster."

"Your words put us in a worse situation, not even the instigator, but the villain clown who was beaten in the face."

"How long are you guys going to talk..." Xi Yu had already landed, but seeing the two people chatting calmly, holding some fruit that they didn't know where they came from, he couldn't help suspecting that the two were here to watch a show.

"Talk until you come down..." Han Yichen turned his head and said calmly.

"But I've already come down..." Xi Gu threw a ball of thunder light at the foreheads of the two of them.

The two groups of lightning were blocked by an invisible energy shield and spread until the last bit of lightning disappeared.

"Sure enough, as expected, your chariot can absorb the five elements and the power derived from the five elements, and the most effective ones are thunder and fire..." Xi Yu's attack failed, instead of panic, he became more excited.

And Xie Qingyu himself felt strange, this ability only appeared this year, and in the previous competition, he basically controlled it, preventing the chariot from counteracting the attack, listening to Xi Zhen's words, he seemed to have realized it a long time ago.

Xi Yu said again, "Do you think it's strange why you can be guessed even though you haven't used this ability before?" Xie Qingyu didn't answer.

"This is the ability of our captain. No matter how well you hide and how many cards you hide, in his eyes, they are all bright cards. There is no such thing as surprise. He has already designed the entire script, and even He has already predicted that there will be only one person left in the end."

"Is it okay for you to just say that?" Han Yichen couldn't help complaining.

"So what if you say it, there is only one ending waiting for you, and that is..."

"Win..." Han Yichen said first.

"Losing..." Xi Fu spit out the word almost at the same time.
