Time passed, and before I knew it, it was the middle of winter.

The first sunny day after the snow, outside the Holy Monarch City, plum garden.

The plum garden, which is known as "full of magnificent colors and fragrant to the three mountains", says that when the plum blossoms in the plum garden are in full bloom, the fragrance can be transmitted to the overseas Sanshan Island.

Although it is suspected of exaggeration, it can also be seen that the master of the plum garden is painstakingly lonely. Because the plum garden is a unique plum blossom, and it is not idle, it is divided into two kinds of platinum plum and red red plum, which is a strange flower and a variety of extremely rare. Because it is not afraid of cold, it is a climate where water condenses into ice, and it blooms in the middle of winter every year.

The plum garden covers an area of about half an area and is located on the bank of the Blue River outside the Holy Monarch City, which is a forbidden land. The whole plum garden is spread out in a ring shape with a finely carved attic as the core, and a cluster of plum trees is also planted around the ring, and the plum blossoms are blooming happily, and the plum fragrance is pervasive all over the garden.

Looking down from the sky, you can see a circle of white plums and a circle of red plums, like a two-color wreath. The two-color plum blossoms are covered by the falling snow, shyly half-covered and half-hidden, occasionally the cold wind blows, the heavy snow slides down the branches, and suddenly reveals their full appearance, and the blooming plum blossoms will tremble slightly under the cold wind, and seem to be extremely afraid of life, and want to bundle up the petals to cover their shame.

Liu Duyan was suspended in the air, his expression was slightly trance-like, and the dusty memories came to mind with the picturesque scenery of this scene, and his thoughts drifted.

I remember that year, the plum garden was also blooming like this day, and the petite figure like a butterfly in flowers danced happily to meet someone.

"Slow down, don't cry if you fall. He reluctantly followed.

"No, it won't!" she grimaced. Then she exclaimed, and she tripped over a small stone, looking at him with teary eyes, but she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Look, Master said that your ability is not yet fully controlled, so you have to be careful when you speak. He helped her up funny, and soothed and coaxed her in a good voice: "Okay, don't cry, don't cry, carry you for my brother." ”

He crouched down, but he didn't expect her to suddenly pass through him like a cute elf, and laugh so heartily that it turned out to be a lie.

At the end of the attic, the man came out with a faint smile on his face, and they had a good conversation that year.

"Hehe, senior brother, you look like each other. I don't know what she saw, and suddenly she asked.

"Smack!" was very crisp and loud, the man's face changed completely, his eyes were red, and his raised hand trembled uncontrollably, it was not guilt, it was suppressed anger that was about to explode: "Get out, you all get out of here!"

With a look of grievance, she ran out crying, and the three of them have been strangers ever since.

A cold wind blew across his cheeks, pulling Liu Duyan's thoughts back to the present world, his consciousness was completely awake, his eyes couldn't help but be slightly cold, too long ago, he was about to forget, it turned out that there was such a past.

Thinking of the changes she has made over the past few days, she smiled bitterly inexplicably. He stepped into the Guanmei Pavilion on the second floor of the attic and sat down on the stone bench.

"I haven't been here for more than two hundred years, and you're still the same here. ”

Opposite him sat a young man dressed in a blue embroidered bamboo brocade robe, about twenty-two or three years old; the exquisite cut of the brocade robe set off his majestic figure; he had an angular handsome face, but his expression was blank; his eyes were like ruby dots, and his pupils were a rare fiery red; the white jade crown on the top tied his black hair, and a lock of snow-white silk hanging down on the side of his ear.

Liu Duyan put his hand into the storage bag, took out a jar of wine, took two sea bowls the size of a wooden basin, pulled out the sealing mud, and the aroma of wine suddenly overflowed, poured him a bowl, and poured another bowl for himself.

After taking a sip, the spicy liquor with a rich and mellow aroma slipped down his throat and exploded in his abdomen, and a violent current of heat suddenly rushed towards the limbs.

"Why, won't you have a drink with me? He glanced at the wine jars all over the ground, and said with a faint smile, "Sang Yu has gone to Wutong City, I believe that with her ability, it should not be difficult to rescue Aunt Xue, so don't worry too much." ”

The man's expression moved slightly, and he slowly spoke: "She shouldn't hate me to death, how can she help me." ”

"After all, they are senior brothers and sisters, what else can't they get by. Liu Duyan raised the bowl and touched it, and took another sip before saying, "Fifth brother, even if you don't look at it for the sake of your brother, you also have to think about the cultivation of your master." Now that you are missing in the city, there are already signs of chaos, so let's go back as brothers. ”

"You are the Demon Emperor, and the two Si Guards are just a matter of your words, and your subordinates don't know how much they covet these two positions, where can they use me?" After the young man took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he drank it all in one gulp.

"Fifth brother, you and I both know that you have been in business for so long, where can you get involved in the two divisions. Liu Duyan said lightly, and poured him full again.

The two large bowls of the sea that looked like wooden basins were all drunk by his cow, and then he let out a long sigh and said, "I can help you, but I won't help you deal with Su Fu." ”

"Deal. ”

......

In ancient times, there was a saying that Li and Luo were not separated, and they were talking about the Li River in Qingzhou and the Luojiang River in Juzhou. Before the world was divided into five states, the two rivers were a river that ran through one gas, but it was divided into two sections. Since the separation of the five states, the two veins have been completely severed. The Li River enters the East China Sea and exits Shenzhou, and the Luojiang River enters the North Sea and traverses the entire Juzhou, dividing the territory equally and coming out of the South China Sea.

The army went out of Xinghu Lake, went up the river, and waited until the day when it arrived at a ferry port a hundred miles away from Luojiang City.

This Luojiang River is about 100 zhang long, this ferry is more than 400 zhang apart, the sunset passes through from the direction of Luojiang City, and the elongated horizon is reflected in the sparkling river water together, as if embellished with a mirror of different shapes, and like the colored shells that seem to be connected together, reflecting the gorgeous and charming halo.

The river is spacious, the current is not turbulent, and there are scattered boats ferrying on the river. There was a boat about to set off at the ferry, and there were already three or five little demons with swelling bags on their cheeks. The bearer was a short and thin man, wearing a hat, slightly hunched at the waist, and his face could not be seen clearly. Seeing that the long army was stationed by the river, he immediately stopped when he was about to set off.

"Dashuai, a hundred miles on the other side is Luojiang City. Wu Yan rode a dragon to Su Fu's side, and pointed to the Naluo River and Bian Zhoudao, "There are also brothers in the army who are not good at water, but I am afraid that I will have to borrow a boat to go over." ”

Su Fu nodded and said, "Go and explain the intention, don't scare them." ”

Wu Yan took the order and left.

"Su Tong, Su Tong, let's go play in the water, okay. Xiao Bai, who was riding with Su Tong, saw that the river was beautiful, and immediately muttered.

"Okay, okay, Sister Sanxia will come with you too. Su Tong looked sideways at the snake girl Liu Sanxia, full of anticipation, for fear that she would not agree.

Liu Sanxia is also a cool child, and when he heard the invitation, his face suddenly appeared happy, but he quickly hesitated.

Long Yinyao quietly glared at Su Fu: "I promise she won't run away again, this child has been frightened a lot, don't kill her." ”

Liu Sanxia smiled at this time, and frolicked with the second daughter and chased to the riverside.

Su Fu frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong with her?"

Long Yinyao said solemnly: "The Red Dragon Army is a little chaotic, and it seems that it is inseparable from the leadership of the palace. As soon as he said that, he urged the earth dragon and went to the rear.

Su Fu frowned in confusion, couldn't there be some mystery in this matter? Why didn't anyone want to tell him? Not only Long Yinyao, but even Ye Shenyue, Wu Yan, and the others were all secretive about it, as if they would do something to her if they knew the truth.

At this time, Wu Yan came back from negotiation and said with a smile: "Dashuai, those ferrymen said that the ancient city lord has taken this into account and has sent someone to come to meet him, and now it is time to arrive." ”

The voice fell, and the upstream went down the water, and there were no less than a thousand preliminary visual inspections.

"There are so many full-time ferrymen in this Luojiang City?" Su Fu looked at this scene, and suddenly became very curious.

Wu Yan shook his head and said: "It's impossible, there may be a blue river, Luojiang City is not yet prosperous, it should be under the ancient city master." ”

"Hmm!" Su Fu squinted slightly, if they were all Gu Shiliang's subordinates, why did each ferryman wear a hat on his head, he muttered: "Boarding the boat, don't too much at a time, the baggage will pass first, be careful." ”

Next, the Purple City army crossed the river under the command of an orderly manner, and the baggage passed first, and at the same time, thousands of flying wings led the Dixing Dragon, which could not be carried by the boat, across the opposite bank first.

The Flying Wing Army in Purple City has an establishment of about 5,000, which is still pieced together, and there are 2,000 that originally belonged to Mingyue Valley, which shows that the Flying Wing Army is an extremely scarce branch of the army in Juzhou.

After the First Battle of Xinghu, the Black Wing Army split its establishment, retained the foot soldiers, and led 4,000 cavalry. The Flying Wings were divided into a separate army and were under the command of the Night God Moon.

Now there are 7,000 regular fully armed cavalry, but Zhao Yun took 4,000 away, and there were only 3,000 left in the army.

More than 400 zhang is not far for the Flying Wing Army, and 3,000 earth dragons will soon be brought over, followed by baggage. During this process, Su Fu kept an eye on the movements around him, but there was nothing unusual.

Soon, the baggage was finished and the foot soldiers began to be transported. A leaf boat can carry up to six or seven, and at most more than 7,000 at a time.

The sky gradually darkened, and just as the boat reached the center of the river, there was a slight tremor from the earth. Su Fu suddenly turned around and looked at the hillside to the left of the river, which stretched for miles, and his spiritual sense instantly surged.

"Knock knock—"

Then it became more and more violent, denser and denser, as if tens of thousands of cavalry were charging together from the other side of the hillside, shaking the earth and rolling down countless gravel from the hillside.

There was a commotion in the army, Wu Yan's heart tightened, and he immediately shouted: "Those who know how to water will enter the water immediately!"

"Wait!" Su Fu shouted violently, "Don't enter the water, the shield soldiers are arrayed!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a thousand flat boats on the river ignited a fire together, and the demon soldiers hurriedly fell into the river to extinguish the fire.
