[Twelve Kingdoms] Twilight and Dawn Rain

?I don’t know how many nights like this have happened. In the dark sky, no stars or moon can be seen, only dense clouds and the screams of monsters floating in the air.

The faint candlelight leaked out bit by bit from the cracks in the room, swaying and struggling in the never-ending wind.In this dilapidated thatched hut that was too poor to shelter from the wind and rain, the figure leaning on the table became more and more firm/tight, the face under the candlelight was so focused on the pile of letters, and the young face was also Can't hide the tiredness of overdraft.

There was a slight knock on the wooden door, and a thin figure knelt outside the bamboo curtain.She looked at the young man at the table and waited quietly without disturbing him.

Until a gust of bloody wind blew out the flickering candle, the young man finally raised his head, and the corner of his eyes inadvertently glanced at the figure outside the bamboo curtain.

"Ye Ming, you're back. Where's Xiu Su?" The deep voice was slightly hoarse, presumably due to overwork.

"He has already gone to guard." Ye Ming, who was outside the bamboo curtain, replied, his almost neutral voice was clear and clear like a teenager, but it didn't sound like the voice of a teenage girl.

"How's it going?"

"The number of monsters is still increasing, and the common people can no longer go out. If this continues, the harvest this year cannot be guaranteed..."

Beside the wisps of blue smoke from the extinguished candles, the young man fell into deep thought.Will the hard work of more than ten years be ruined in one day?

"Sir Yiruo." Ye Ming's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"what's up?"

"There is news from Pengshan that Taifu has gone down the mountain."

What?One if one startled, stood up.

"If you are an adult?"

"Any news about the king?"

"I heard that Tai Fu just came to inspect the country this time, and did not find Wang's whereabouts."

Yiruo sat down again, and the dilapidated wooden chair made a slight "creak" sound.After thinking for a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Go and rest, take over from Su's squad tomorrow morning, pay attention to strengthening your defense."

"Yes." Ye Ming's figure quickly disappeared behind the bamboo curtain, and there was another nauseating wind.

As soon as the blown out candle is lit, the bean-like candle flame dances in the damp air.There was an inappropriate hidden smile in the sharp eyes, and was instantly covered with worry again.

Taisuke, I have been waiting for you for a long time...

The clear blue sky is so clear that there is no cloud, and the warm sunshine turns into intoxicating wine in the warm wind, all of which are bestowed on the people of Qing Dynasty.The black figure flitted across the air quickly, not attached to this charming scenery, and the haggard lin riding Shi Ling's body was too slow, wishing to turn into a unicorn and go straight to the wild goose—if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't want people to see him If it turns into a unicorn.

Wang Zaiyan!This is what Jing Wang Yangzi said personally, just thinking about it makes his whole body feel like a fire is burning!

Although Wang was entrusted to Le Jun to take care of her at the beginning, and the damn stupid mouse irresponsibly sent Wang to goose to "study" made her a trip for nothing, but it was great to find Wang.

There was a wild goose in front of her, and she suddenly became timid.What is Wang like now?Will you still remember who she is?

"Taifu?" The emissary below asked her what she wanted.

"Go to Shang Long!" Gaolin ordered firmly, his blond hair fluttering high under the bright sun.

Facing this strange unicorn, Shang Long frowned with a headache.The Sixth Wife didn't know where he went again, leaving him alone to deal with such a big trouble.

Cao Lin also murmured in his heart: I have explained it several times, why the other party still looks confused?Is he really the famous Yan Wang Shanglong?

Since we can't communicate, let's wait for Mrs. Six to come back to solve it.The two thought at the same time.

Swing out, pull back, swing out, pull back...

The scorching blood of the demon splashed all over his face and flowed down his neck into his clothes. The viscous liquid made his clothes cling to his body, making it very uncomfortable.The ferocious face of the monster was reflected in Ye Ming's temperatureless eyes, and instantly turned into flying fragments.

She turned her head and saw that her companion was still fighting with the monster, and more monsters gradually gathered around, probably attracted by the smell of blood!

Ye Ming's eyes turned cold, and he swung the heavy sword again, which was extremely disproportionate to his thin body.

"Ye Ming, be careful above!" In Xiu Su's anxious voice, Ye Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up into the sky, when a huge black shadow was rushing towards him.Ye Ming raised his sword and was about to go forward, but the black shadow nimbly avoided the blade and rushed towards the monster beside her. His sharp claws tore open the latter's body, and blood spattered everywhere.

"Xiaosu!" Ye Ming retreated to the side of Xiusu who had just killed a demon, and asked while adjusting his breathing, "What's going on?"

"I don't know. Look over there." Xiusu motioned her to look at the strange girl who appeared at the edge of the field at some time, and the girl was staring intently at the chaotic battlefield.

"I don't have time to worry about her." Ye Ming raised the sword, but a hand held down her hand holding the sword.

"Are you okay? You got that kind of injury yesterday, and today..." Xiusu looked at her blood-soaked single clothes worriedly, and couldn't tell whether the bloodstains belonged to the demon or her own.

"Instead of worrying about such things, it's better to attack the demons first and save the people on this land!" Ye Ming coldly shook off his hand and rushed out.

At that time, Xiusu had an illusion for a moment—Ye Ming was wasting her life!

The girl who seemed to be fished out of the blood finally caught the attention of Gao Lin.She originally wanted to take a look at the situation while waiting for the sixth wife to come back, but she saw such a tragic scene in the outskirts of the capital, how could she, as a Taifu, stand by and watch?But to tell you the truth, the smell here is too... bad, she can't bear it.

Ye Ming glanced at the crumbling haggard Lin from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help frowning slightly.What a troublemaker!She threw a deadly sword at the monster beside her, and then rushed towards Han Lin without even looking at it.

"You..." You smell blood on your body!Cao Lin didn't have the strength to finish his words, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.

"Xiaoqiu." Gao Lin whispered in a daze.

"Taifu, are you awake?" The envoy named Xunqiu appeared beside the bed, his tone full of worry.

Gaolin opened his eyes, still dizzy.

"How are you?" she asked weakly.

"I'm fine, I'm just temporarily unable to move freely because Taifu is unwell."

"How long have I... slept?" Kao Lin looked out the window hard, only to find that there was no sun in the gray sky outside the window.

"About three hours." Hunqiu replied.

Cao Lin struggled to sit up, the cold and hard bed made her feel uncomfortable.Looking around, I saw that the house was empty, not like a place where people lived.

"How am I here?" She staggered to her feet on the bedpost.

"Xia Guan Yiruo's subordinates saved you."

Only then did Cao Lin think of something, and rushed to the window to look out. Only some women and children were farming the sparsely cropped land. "Where are all the men?" she asked herself suspiciously.

"They are in charge of guarding and are ready to fight the monsters at any time. This is the only way for us to live on this land." A clear voice sounded behind him.

Gaolin turned his head, and a handsome young man in white was standing behind him on his left.

"You are……?"

The young man knelt down on one knee, and replied: "I am Xiusu, and I am under the command of Xia Guan. Please wait a moment, Mr. Taifu, and Mr. Ruo will come soon."

"That... the girl who rescued me..."

"It's Ye Ming. She didn't come here because she was afraid that the smell of blood would make you uncomfortable."

"Her injury...doesn't matter?" Cao Lin thought of Ye Ming's bloody clothes.

"Thanks to Taifu's concern, such injuries are nothing to people like us. Since the death of the former king, not only the people, but also most of the officials have taken refuge in other countries. Only Lord Yiruo and some state officials are still here waiting for the king's death." Appear. Those who want to defend this land will not be cowards!" The soft tone spoke out sharp words.

Gaolin was startled slightly, and fell silent.Is that blaming myself for not electing the king in time?

Xiusu suddenly said, "Master Yiruo is here."

Gaolin raised his head, just in time to meet Yi Ruo's gaze.

With scorching eyes, Kao Lin's heart trembled suddenly, so it was so.This Yiruo is also one of the candidates for the throne.

The two looked at each other for a long while, and Yi Ruo knelt down.

"Does Taifu's return mean that the people of Qiao have hope?" Although Yiruo knelt on the ground, his eyes turned towards Hanlin sternly.

"No... I just..." Gaolin avoided his gaze, flustered.

This one is like an adult, so great pressure!Cao Lin instinctively stepped back and leaned against the window.

This kind of reaction was completely expected, once he stopped pressing too much, he stood up and said, "Taifu, please rest here temporarily, if you go outside casually, I can't guarantee your safety." , he turned and left, as if he didn't pay attention to Mr. Taifu at all.

"Is this a threat, or house arrest?" Cao Lin turned to Xiusu.

"It's good that you understand in your heart. I won't bother you." After finishing speaking, Sosu also walked out, and gently closed the door.

"Taifu, he is guarding the door, do you want to break out?" Xunqiu appeared at her feet.

"Let's stay and observe for a while."

"You still have important things to do." Xunqiu reminded her.

"It's not important now." Gaolin murmured to himself.

"What?" Hunqiu didn't hear her words clearly.

"That Yiruo... is very unusual." Gao Lin closed his eyes.

"Why doesn't Master Yiruo ascend the mountain?"

"My lord, why didn't Taifu choose the king?"

"If you are an adult, another monster is attacking!"

"If you are an adult, someone has been eaten!"

"If you are an adult, we will all follow you..."

"Master Yi Ruo, help me..."

"If you are an adult..."

"If you are an adult..."

The chaotic voices overlapped in his mind, and cold sweat dripped from Yiruo's forehead.A pair of callused little hands kept wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, the movements were very careful and gentle.

Yi Ruo is still in a coma.During the daytime when the demons were rampant, Ye Ming had to protect Taifu and his combat power was weakened. If he went into battle in person in a critical situation, although he finally repelled the demons, he was injured by him.The wound was stained with demon blood, and as the sky gradually darkened, his body temperature became lower and lower.

Ye Ming, who was guarding the bed, anxiously kept compressing his body, but the skin that was close to freezing point made people despair.

Time was passing by gradually, and Yiruo slowly felt the busy atmosphere around him.

"Ye Ming?" He struggled to open his dry eyes, and the familiar thin figure appeared in his vision.

"Yeah." Ye Ming's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and only at this time would she smile like a child.

Yiruo looked at the bloody clothes she hadn't changed, and waved her to change.

Ye Ming came in again shortly after he left, holding a bowl of water in his hand, still wearing the same clothes.

Before he could get his reproach out of his mouth, Ye Ming explained first: "You sweat a lot, you must drink some water first."

Yi Ruo sat up forcefully and took the bowl of water.The slightly salty taste on the tip of his tongue reminded him of an extremely important thing: "How much salt is there? How long can it last?"

"I'll take someone to pick it up tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it." Ye Ming took back the empty bowl and said, "I'm going out first, you should rest well, if you need anything, just call me, I'm right next door."

After Yeming went out, Yiruo remembered that she should go back to her room to guard Taifu just now.Suddenly, scorching pain spread along every inch of muscle and bone.

wild goose.

"Have you found the king? In other words, I made a trip for nothing? Fortunately, I went to Qing to confront Yang Zi." Liu Tai complained dissatisfied.

"Taifu said I'm really sorry for causing you trouble. Let's leave now." Xunqiu disappeared in front of him.

"Hey! I still want to ask you what kind of person King Gao is... Hey!" Mrs. Liu stared angrily at the place where the cockroach disappeared, and muttered, "Run faster!"

What kind of king is more suitable for a little girl like Cao Lin?Shouldn't he be an old man like the former king?

Gao Lin, who had just heard Xunqiu's reply, was stunned by the window, staring at the people working in the fields, they were fighting against the wind and sand.

Since she sent the king to Qing, in the past ten years, there have been endless wind and sand, and never-ending rain. Soon, everything will change, right?

A gust of violent wind flew over with countless sand and gravel, and Cao Lin instinctively covered his eyes with his sleeves.Oops, it smells of blood!She subconsciously moved her sleeves down to cover her mouth and nose, but the scene that gradually appeared before her eyes hit her heart hard.

The demon greedily bites the attacked people, the bright red blood and the yellow liquid from their mouths splash and flow wantonly, the mutilated corpses are pressed on the sickly seedlings, the sound of screams and wailing fills the air. This side of the world.

"Hunting!"

A black shadow galloped out in response to the sound, and rushed towards the monster outside the window.

Why are they here?What about the guards?Where did Ye Ming go?Isn't she responsible for the safety of the people?Gaolin closed his eyes, his thoughts churning.

It would have been nice to subdue a few more envoys when playing in the Yellow Sea, and it can still help now.Although it is a bit late to regret it now, it can be remedied to some extent.

She walked out of the house slowly, resisting the annoyance brought by the smell of blood and walked towards the edge of the field.

Surrounded by dazzling golden light, the girl exuding a noble temperament appeared on the filthy battlefield without rush.As if frightened, the monster stopped moving, with its mouth open and motionless.

Xiusu and his subordinates, who rushed over in a hurry, could not help but stop and watch.

A smile that only belonged to her was raised on the lips, and the haggard Lin's clear eyes met the muddy red pupils of the demon, as if the sweet spring water was washing away something dirty from its soul.

The dense clouds and fog in the sky were torn apart a crack during the swimming, and the long-lost sunlight squeezed into the space that had been closed for ten years from above the clouds, setting off scorching wind and waves, and the heavens and the earth wept for this moment.

The pale skin of the young children who had never seen the sun was dyed with dazzling blood, and the splendor of life bloomed so extravagantly and luxuriously for the first time.

Coincidentally, I saw the sunrise. ?
