Chapter 676: Sadness!
Great Xia Endless Mountain, Jade Dragon Pass.
Due to the thunder sweeping operation a year ago, the alien races in the Sun Empire's Shenwei Fortress did not dare to emerge again, and they could not shrink back, so the soldiers of the Endless Mountain Jade Dragon Pass had a rare rest time in the past few days, and they could be regarded as enjoying a small Yuan Day holiday.
Although there has been no war recently, daily training is still essential, so the continuous roar continues to resound in the sky of Yulong Pass, full of iron and blood, turning into billowing wolf smoke and rising into the sky.
After experiencing an unforgettable Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the spirit of the soldiers of Yulongguan has almost reached a higher level, although they are still full of ruffians during training, but the murderous aura in the depths of their eyes has solidified into substance.
Jade Dragon Pass is the most dangerous border area in Great Xia, where there are only two pure choices, kill the alien race, or bury the bones in another land, it's so simple!
The commander of the Yulong Pass Center camped in the tent, and three rounds of scorching sun were in the sky.
The burly body of Xu Sheng, Duke of Wei, sat upright behind the desk, staring at the void in front of him, staring silently, and behind him, there was a huge map of the outside of the pass, marking every stronghold of the alien race very clearly.
Just now, the old man who was studying the terrain and battle examples, there was a deep throbbing in his heart for no reason, and with an extremely rare panic, it was even difficult to breathe, so Xu Sheng clenched his fists fiercely, closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in the outside avenue.
After a moment, Xu Sheng let go of his fist, opened his eyes and muttered:
"It's not that the five decays of heaven and man came in advance, but why does the old man have such a feeling of suffocation?"
After the old general's soft murmur fell, Xu Sheng raised his head, opened his mouth and said loudly:
"Where's the partiality?"
"Back to Lord Marshal, I just sent a letter to the Division, it is said that there is a letter from the White Emperor Palace, and General He will personally pick it up, and he should be back soon. ”
After the guard's response, Xu Sheng's heart chuckled, as if ten thousand thunderbolts were falling at the same time, and even his entire immovable body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Then the battle-hardened old man, who had a tiger in his heart, took a deep breath, stood up directly from behind the desk, strode forward, lifted the curtain of the tent, and stepped out directly.
As soon as Xu Sheng, the Duke of Wei, stepped out of the tent, he saw from a distance the general who had gone to fetch the letter returning from a distance, looking sad, holding a white mourning note in both hands.
Two lines of tears flowed out from the old man's eyes, and at this moment, Xu Sheng's already pale hair was even whiter, even whiter than falling snow!
Since yesterday evening, until this time, the heavy snow in the entire Shenjing City has not stopped for a moment, and it is getting bigger and bigger, almost all the people are trapped at home and unable to go out.
In the middle of Shenjing City, the whole Yuan Ri New Year Festival because of the absence of his daughter, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Youfu is a little deserted, the lights in the master bedroom are lit very early, and the face is still elegant, but it shows a little old The Ministry of Rites Shangshu You Tingjian, got up from the bed before the hour, sat next to the wooden table in the room wearing a single clothes, and was silent.
"Husband, it's rare that you don't have to go to the early dynasty at the age of the first day, you have been so early recently, but you are worried about Rui'er's affairs?"
After his wife's inquiry sounded in his ears, You Tingjian came back to his senses, turned his head, and responded softly:
"A few days ago, Shang Shufang of the Criminal Department sent someone to tell me that Rui'er's last whereabouts appeared in Jiangling City, Jinzhou, in the southeast, and although the rest of the information is secretive, at least it can be seen that Rui'er is not in danger, but her temperament is really too wild, after she comes back, I will lock her up for at least half a year, and Mrs. must not let her go secretly. ”
You Tingjian's face was full of seriousness in this sentence, and the middle-aged beauty who knew her husband very well knew that he was really angry this time, so he nodded, and a weak voice then came out:
"I know Rui'er, she's not wild, but she just wants to live her own life. ”
"Your own life?"
The seriousness in You Tingjian's eyes became stronger and stronger, and then the voice continued:
"Isn't her current life her own? Life is in the world, there are too many things that I can't help myself, and I, as a father, protect her to the greatest extent on weekdays, and let her come, but madam, you have to know that in this world, there are very few people who can live their own lives. ”
The life of You Tingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, can be called legendary, he has no door and no faction, and his cultivation talent is also average, but he loves to read, under all kinds of chances, he participated in the Great Xia Dynasty Examination at the age of 20, won the championship in one fell swoop, and then entered the official career, and gradually ranked first in the Ministry of Rites at the age of forty.
The middle-aged beautiful woman also knew, but when she heard her husband's words with a little weakness, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, got up and came to the latter's side, stretched out her right hand to press You Tingjian's shoulder, and asked lightly:
"Husband, has something ever happened?"
"I think it's very unusual, there may be something big happening in the near future, which may implicate our Youfu. ”
After finishing speaking, You Tingjian frowned and continued to speak:
"Gyeonggi Province Shao Yin Shan Wenbai wrote me a letter, asking me to take care of his wife on the basis of the past feelings, the content of which is almost the same as the last words, and my heart is very uneasy!"
"I'm not afraid of shadows, husband, don't worry, but the snow outside is really big, it's been a long time since there has been such a big snow in Shenjing City, and this crackling sound has come to the house. ”
The middle-aged woman's voice fell, You Tingjian stood up lightly, and slowly walked to the door, the whistling sound in his ears became clearer, and then the thinking in his eyes became stronger, and he muttered:
"The snow falls silently, the snow falls silently, this must not be ordinary snow!"
After finishing his words, just at the right hour, a solemn and desolate bell sounded from the White Emperor's Palace, like an alarm bell suddenly sounding between heaven and earth!
"Boom!"
This bell carried a shocking force, waking up all the people who were still sleeping in the entire Shenjing City, and then the second sound continued to ring in the sky.
"Knock, knock!"
Then there was the third ring, the fourth ring, a total of nine rings, and the nine bells came out from the White Emperor Palace, resounding throughout the entire Shenzhou Vast Land No. 1 Xiongcheng.
Under the heaven and earth, nine is the extreme, the bell in the White Emperor's Palace rings nine times, and the representative behind it is determined to be an earth-shattering, shocking event for the whole country, sure enough, and then a grief-stricken, resounding in the sky, so that all the people of Shenjing City were shocked.
"The Empress Dowager has been lost forever, the death of Great Xia, the whole country mourns, and it is sad!"
