Chapter 976: Before Dying
When these young followers of the Demon Sect looked at this post station from afar, the sky was a little watery, and gradually a light rain fell down.
The water vapor was empty, but it did not hide the smoke.
On the contrary, on such a slightly cold rainy day, the smoke of the cooking is even more azure.
In the spring of the year before last, when the war between the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty began to tighten, the troops of the entire Southern Dynasty were inclined to the north, and the defense of the southwest area was somewhat empty, and even many officials and horses of the post station were moved to the north.
Later, Zhongshan Wang Yuanying made a detour from Tuyuhun and Dangxiang, and the army quietly entered the territory of the Southern Dynasties, precisely because of the emptiness of defense in the southwest and northwest.
The military of this post station had stopped supplying military funds two years ago, and instead some wealthy local businessmen had paid for it, making it easier for some military personnel to come and go. Some of the businesses of these wealthy businessmen are also related to the military.
Many businesses that can do business with the military are also because of these inconspicuous little things that accumulate over time.
The Taoists in the Taoist temple are not as lucky as the miscellaneous servants in the post station.
After the Southern Dynasty changed to a new dynasty, Buddhism was respected, and many Taoists were inexplicably imprisoned, so this Taoist temple was dispersed in the early years of the Heavenly Prison, and the personnel in the post station also used the hollow space in this Taoist temple at the beginning, and when there were many people who came and went to stay, they also cleaned this Taoist temple and lived in the Taoist temple guest rooms, but after the post station lost its official qualifications two years ago, the personnel were also small, and the Taoist temple was closed, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated, overgrown with weeds, and almost no one was interested in stepping into it.
There was originally an old willow tree at the door of this temple, there was a begonia, this willow tree and a begonia have hundreds of years of age, before the red and green contrasted, vibrant, but this Taoist temple lost popularity, after the people who came and went, this old willow and a begonia did not grow better, but because of the relationship between more insects, suffered from insects, at this time the begonia has died, the old willow is no longer as inextricably threaded as before, the branches are sparse, the breath is dying.
It's hard to say what the luck of this place is.
The original Taoist temple in this place could not have imagined that if an emperor was replaced in the imperial city of Jiankang, the Taoist temple in such a remote place could be implicated, and it would suddenly disappear.
Life is not as good as you want, but nine times out of ten.
Inexplicable luck, for some people who have the heart to return to heaven, is often like being able to cook a pot of good porridge, but because the firewood is too strong, the bottom of the pot will be burned.
The aroma is naturally impossible, but it is a pot of burnt paste, and it tastes like eating a mouth full of cigarette ash.
Wei Rui and Yuan Yan looked at the pancakes and golden roasted hare meat brought by the people in the post station, but they didn't have much appetite in their hearts.
The two had already reached an agreement before, even if the emperor of the Southern Dynasty had spread the book of thieves all over the world, but Wei Rui and Yuan Yan both felt that they could talk to the emperor, after all, Xiao Yan was not mediocre, as long as certain conditions were reached, he would not think that Lin Yi would threaten his throne, and he would once again recognize that the most terrible enemy of the Southern Dynasty at this time was the Demon Sect.
However, the queen mother of the world's only saint fell into the hands of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect was truly invincible in the world, but with the latest military information from the military, when they learned that the crown prince had died in the Nanyu Palace, Wei Rui and Yuan Yan already understood that the matter was irreconcilable, and there was no need to go to Jiankang.
No matter how heavy the mood and tasteless food is, he can't live up to the kindness of these people in the station, Wei Rui reached out and took a piece of pancake that exuded heat in his hand, but suddenly felt something in his heart and paused.
"In our Northern Wei Dynasty, the scientific research of military generals is too backward compared to the Southern Dynasty, most of the generals of our Northern Wei Dynasty come from various gates and royal in-laws, and some brave and warlike generals are often subordinate to a certain prince, so the vast majority of generals will not be as worried as you in dealing with things, because many of them only consider the trade-offs of interests, and will not worry about the country and the people. ”
Yuan Yan looked at Wei Rui, a little mistaken, but finally said the sentence that had been held in his heart for several days, "In my opinion, if you want the Southern Dynasty to have as little civil strife as possible, at this time, you might as well cooperate directly with Lin Yi." ”
"The world is not as good as it should be, where is it so simple, I brought you here, I really want to send you to his side, but as for me... I have actually made an appointment with the Chen family and want to talk to the Chen family. It's just that no matter what, we have to pass today's hurdle first. ”
Wei Rui looked at her and smiled faintly, the corners of his eyes were full of knife-like wrinkles, but the corners of his mouth were full of bitterness.
"Could it be the Demon Sect?" Yuan Yan couldn't sense anything at this time, but the meaning in Wei Rui's eyes at this time made her suddenly think of a possibility.
Wei Rui did not respond.
He couldn't accurately judge the cultivators who were far above him, and there was no Demon Sect in his perception at this time, but those approaching breaths, the smell of decay and death contained in them, could only be related to the Demon Sect.
Those members of the Demon Sect, he is no stranger to the northern border.
"Can you just run away?"
Yuan Yan took a deep breath and asked.
Wei Rui shook his head.
Yuan Yan stopped talking.
Her face turned a little pale.
She knew that whether she wanted to or not, she and Wei Rui might die here today.
......
The sound of horses' hooves sounded.
In the cold rain, the sound of horses' hooves became clear in just a moment.
"Can't you escape alone?"
Yuan Yan suddenly became sad, she turned her head, looked at Wei Rui, and said.
She didn't know what emotions she was at this time, but she felt that a person seemed to be full of desire to speak before she died.
"I'm a formation master, if you talk about true yuan cultivation, I'm too far away from the Demon Sect, but a formation master like me, as long as I stay in one place for a little longer, I will have certain means. Sitting on the ground and forming a formation, the strength of the formation master is not purely measured by the true yuan realm. ”
Wei Rui looked at her gently and said: "And just like I can't perceive where the Demon Sect is now, the person who followed you all the way, I can't sense his specific location, but if this person is stronger than me, even if we die here, maybe we can make the Demon Sect pay a heavy price, maybe you can live." ”
"The person who followed me all the way?" Yuan Yan looked at Wei Rui completely incomprehensibly, not even knowing what he was talking about.
"From the first day you met me, I was at that post station, and I already sensed that someone was following you, you are the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty, even if you flee in name, I am afraid that your imperial brother will not let you die easily. ”
Wei Rui looked at her, shook his head, and said, "It's just that what I can't understand is that, judging by all indications, this person may not be weaker than your imperial brother... In my cognition and intelligence, it is logically impossible for such a cultivator to exist in the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”
(In the previous chapter, the obscure Demon Sect was forbidden to eat people...) There are still a lot of constraints now, in fact, the bad guys in the old-school martial arts authors are even worse, but now they just can't write. So I can only make some changes, now the ecological environment is like this, the constraints on writing are too great, it is already difficult in itself, and book friends also remember and read and cherish, and have more tolerance. )
