Chapter 13 Anyi(1/2)
()
Anyi, the city in front is Anyi.
"However, no matter how you look at it, it cannot be Anyi, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, as I thought. Could the Yi people capture this city with three thousand people?" Xiahou looked at the big city in front of him in a daze.
The location of Anyi is a plain area tens of thousands of miles long and wide, densely covered with woods and lakes, farmland and pastures. It is connected by roads and chickens and dogs can be heard. There is a village for several miles and a town for ten miles. It is so prosperous that it is unreasonable.
In the very center of the plain, four peaks with a base diameter of about a mile and a height of several hundred feet rise up from the ground, forming a square. Each peak is located on a corner of the Anyi City wall. At the top of the peak, there is a high
The large arrow tower that is ten feet long is made of black stone, which is very aura. The city wall is a full thirty feet high and made of huge stones about ten feet long and wide. The wall is as flat as a stone, and the gaps between the stones are poured with metal.
solution, indestructible.
The entire Anyi is more than forty miles long and wide. There are three city gates on each side for people to enter and exit. Hundreds of strong soldiers are lined up outside each city gate, with a majestic and murderous aura reaching into the sky.
To the north of Anyi, there is another conical mountain with a height of several dozen miles and a radius of dozens of miles. There are palaces and pavilions on it, and military camps can be seen stationed on it. It is obviously a key point.
Near the city, more than a dozen acropolises can be seen dotted on the plain. Each city is large or small, and the inside is a military camp. Large groups of soldiers and horses enter and exit, and the clanging sound of armor and weapons can be heard hundreds of miles away.
Three beautiful rivers about a mile wide, like ribbons, flow between Anyi and the acropolis. There are countless bridges on the rivers to communicate traffic, and Anyi is surrounded by those three rivers. If it is a war, once the bridges on the river are destroyed
, it is extremely difficult for foreign enemies to get close to Anyi.
"The copper wall and the iron wall are as strong as gold." Xiahou subconsciously touched the long bow on his back and took a breath of air-conditioning with resignation: "Can three thousand people capture this city? Isn't there tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the smallest acropolis?
.Obviously, this dynasty is not the Xia Dynasty. Anyi I know, nor is it the Anyi I know. Everything is just a coincidence."
He patted Hei Si's head gently, carefully controlled Hei Si, and at the same time restrained the extremely excited Bai behind him. He put on the face of a kind and honest common man and approached the city gate in the middle of the south. On one side
Before leaving, Xiahou warned: "Bai, don't make trouble. These soldiers are not easy to deal with. Especially if there are so many of them, if something happens, you won't be able to escape."
Bai glanced sideways at the two rows of 300 guards standing at the south gate, grinned several times, stuck out his long tongue, and licked his nose with disdain.
The soldiers in black armor looked intently, with their heads raised slightly and their eyes turned to the sky. There were more than a dozen soldiers at the door randomly checking the passers-by, especially those merchants and guards who were wearing weapons.
And so on, he looked at them carefully again and again, and let them in this time. Xiahou looked at the animal skin coat on his body, and couldn't help but regret for a while. Why was he just rushing on his way, but he forgot to change into some coarse cloth clothes?
Sure enough, Xiahou, who was wearing animal skins, carrying a heavy steel sword on his back, and carrying a dragon tendon bow, was stared at by the official in black who was sitting directly under the lintel of the city gate. The tall crowned official
The official with long sleeves and dark skin shouted loudly: "Bring that barbarian over here."
Four black-armored soldiers immediately surrounded him and took away Xiahou's long bow and steel sword in an extremely unkind manner. They pushed him to the front of the official. Baixuemu was about to kill someone, but fortunately Xiahou stopped him.
Quickly, he slapped Bai Lao Lao hard. When the several soldier leaders over there saw Bai Lao's appearance, they couldn't help being frightened and screamed. Suddenly, more than a hundred soldiers appeared as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
, the heavily armed men rushed out from nowhere inside the city wall, and surrounded Xiahou and Bai.
The official in black also trembled slightly, glanced at Bai Bai in surprise, and said in surprise: "What a barbarian, you actually took Pixiu on the road, hey, hey. Barbarian, where are you from?"
Xiahou couldn't help but feel angry when he heard that the official spoke like a barbarian. He responded in a deep voice: "In the extreme south, Yunmengze."
The surrounding merchants and others took a breath of cold air after hearing this, and immediately stopped in the doorway, wanting to watch a good show. Yun Mengze's name was known to all the merchants, and no one knew where it was.
Herbal medicines, animal skins, and rare treasures are the most outstanding specialties? However, the road is extremely long and it is an extremely dangerous place. Merchants from Anyi rarely go there. Suddenly I heard that there are barbarians from Yunmengze. Where are they?
The reason for not being curious? In just three or five breaths, the doorway, which was about fifty feet deep, was immediately blocked.
The official in black was furious, stood up suddenly, pointed at the merchants and shouted: "You are so bold, you stopped here and blocked the city gate, want to cause trouble? If you don't leave within ten days, you will be gone."
All your roads have been stopped to divert traffic signs." Upon hearing the threat, the merchants' expressions changed, and they called their friends. Before the time for a cup of tea, the traffic returned to normal.
Seeing that his majesty had intimidated a large number of merchants, the official in black sat back on the stool with great pride. He looked at the white scales all over his body with a guilty conscience, and a piece of fine white hair peeking out from the seam of the armor. The official
He cautiously held the animal bone bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand. His movements were very slight, but they all fell into Xia Hou's eyes.
There seemed to be some kind of ceremonial guard. The official asked feebly in a standard official tone: "Yunmengze? It's a good place. However, the straight-line distance is a hundred thousand miles. What are you doing in Anyi?"
With a sneer, a dim red light flashed in the officer's eyes, and he said gloomily: "The barbaric land has never been subject to the king's orders. What is your intention of entering Anyi with weapons?"
Xiahou was silent for a while, then reached out and touched the two money bags in his waist pocket. After traveling for more than a month, he spent more than forty yuan, and now there are still one hundred and fifty yuan in it. Xiahou thought to himself,
Could it be that the second city he entered after coming to this world had to rely on bribing the officials to get in smoothly? The official tone of this official in black was very authentic and standard, but I don't know how good he was at accepting bribes.
Moreover, Xiahou was not so thick-skinned and foolish-minded when he openly offered bribes in front of hundreds of soldiers.
He cupped his fists and saluted the official in black. Regardless of whether this etiquette was appropriate here, Xiahou lowered his voice, put on a harmless smile on his face, and said calmly: "My lord, I'm here.
Anyi, I made an appointment with someone four years ago and came to see him."
"Looking for someone?" The official's voice suddenly rose to a higher pitch. He tilted his head and squinted his eyes at Xia Hou with disdain, and suddenly sneered: "Looking for someone? The two pieces of leather on your body are not bad, but I know
Who are all the people living in Anyi City? They are all nobles! Who would know you? A barbarian?"
Xiahou clasped his fists again and said honestly: "The Black Army Xing Tian Da Feng."
"Hei Shen Army, Xing Tian Da Feng." The officer almost choked to death. After blinking his eyes for a few times, the officer jumped up and looked at the Hei Shen who was following Xia Hou. He separated from the soldiers and walked to
The black man looked behind him at a small mark on his butt. His face showed a bit of embarrassment, and at the same time it was a little flattering, a little warm and a little winsome. Overall, he looked extremely enthusiastic.
With a smile: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you wanted to find Lord Hei Siwei? Oh, the Hei Siu you are riding on does indeed have Wang Ling's mark."
Hehehe smiled, Xiahou looked gently at the black-clothed official who had completely different attitudes before and after, and asked him: "Then, sir, can I leave? Also, can you please appoint a brother to lead the way for me?
How can we find the location of the Black Army?"
A gloomy, cold, and sharp voice sounded like the sound of someone scratching glass with broken porcelain: "Who is going to find Xingtian Dafeng of the Black Army? Let me take a look."
One team also wore black armor, but had black cloth cloaks on their backs, and helmets on their heads in the shape of strange snakes. The two sharp snake teeth that protected the cheeks on the helmets were painted a dark blue and arrogantly separated from the city.
A man came in surrounded by soldiers.
Xia Hou quickly glanced at the man, and couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, shouting that something was wrong.
This man has a triangular face, stilted eyebrows, and two small, shriveled lips. He looks miserable. However, his body shape is even more uncomfortable. His skinny body is only as thick as Xiahou’s arms.
The skin was wrapped around the bones. But he didn't know what kind of evil skills he practiced. From time to time, there were tube-like objects swimming back and forth under the skin, like poisonous snakes. It looked so disgusting. A pair of eyes were even more rigid and dull.
There is no trace of human life in the snake eyes and green pupils.
The man stretched out his right index finger and pointed at Xiahou gently, and said in a sinister voice: "Are you looking for Xingtian Dafeng? What's the matter? Tell me about it. My prime minister, Liu Rou, is in charge of Anyi City.
As soon as you are on patrol, sentry, police, and alert, I think something is wrong with you."
Xia Hou frowned, subconsciously took a step back, put a little distance away from Xiang Liurou, and said coldly: "Sir, what's wrong with me?"
Xiang Liurou's lifeless eyes rolled slightly, and she said coldly: "If I think you are wrong, then it is wrong. Who are you? Do I need to explain?" He glanced at Xia Hou with a cold look, and said
Liu Rou weakly ordered: "Here, tie up this barbarian first and throw him into the bone prison of Anyi Zhisi to loosen his muscles and bones for two years."
His face darkened, Xiahou had already glanced at the steel sword and long bow held by a soldier on one side, wondering whether to resist. However, Xiang Liurou didn't bother to look at Xiahou anymore, and her neck was swaying around as if there were no bones.
, a sharp glance made him see Bai beside him, who was ready to pounce.
Xiang Liurou let out a cry of joy from his throat: "Pixiu, or the white Pixiu with the greatest aura, the most likely to become a spirit! Which merchant brought this? Come on, ten copper bear coins, I will buy it. Kill him. Take this white Pixiu back to me!"
Xiahou's body was shaken, and he forced several soldiers who wanted to tie him up to take a few steps back. He strode to Bai's side and shouted in a cold voice: "Who will do it? Mr. Xiang Liu, Bai is not a commodity, he is The playmate I grew up with is not for sale." Xia Hou felt a little annoyed. Could it be that Xiang Liu Rou was already used to bullying and dominating the market? She wanted to buy a Pixiu for only ten copper bears?
Xiang Liurou's face changed slightly, and she looked at him carefully as if she had just seen Xia Hou: "Did you raise this Pixiu?"
Xia Hou said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Yes!"
Xiang Liurou's expression changed rapidly, and he rolled a pair of strange eyes. He said coldly: "Not to mention how you caught this Pixiu, nor how you tamed him. You can make a Pixiu follow you willingly. You, I guess you are also Wuwu? Who can control an adult Pixiu besides Wuwu?"
Nodding slightly, this time, Xia Hou didn't bother to speak at all. There was clearly something wrong with Liu Rou and Xing Tian Dafeng, and she was obviously looking for trouble.
There were also countless thin tube-like fingers running under the skin. He gently tapped his chin. Xiang Liurou took a step forward and said softly: "Since you are Wu Wu, you should know that What an honor it is to dedicate your things to me, right?" Xiang Liurou gently tapped the coat of arms on her left chest with her thumb, and said with a sinister smile: "The matter of ten copper bears is also Not much more to say. You give this Pixiu to me, and I will accept you as a friend of Xiang Liu's family."
The shield-shaped coat of arms is the same as Xingtian Dafeng's, with a green three-legged round tripod embroidered on it. However, there are differences. Xiahou remembers that Xingtian Dafeng's tripod has three heads of alien beasts, while Xiang Liurou's coat of arms has three. But there was only the head of a strange beast. Xia Hou looked at Xiang Liurou sincerely and said seriously: "You have embroidered a tripod on your chest. What does this mean?"
The nearby soldiers and officials were stunned at the same time. The city gate official in black screamed: "Ha, are you considered a Wuwu? You don't even know the meaning of this tripod?"
Xiang Liurou chuckled a few times, then reached out to touch the scales on Bai's head, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, Barbarian is Barbarian, and it's a pity that he himself is a Wuwu, and he doesn't even know what this tripod represents. However, as long as If you offer this Pixiu, everything will be easier to say." His hand was only one foot away from Bai's head.
Bai exploded, and a strange howl came from Bai's mouth, like a dragon's cry and a phoenix's cry, which spread dozens of miles away. A three-inch-thick layer of pale white light flashed out on his body, and two eyes ignited with blood. The white will-o'-the-wisp swung its claws and clawed hard at Xiang Liurou's heart. Along the way, Xiahou strictly prohibited Bai Sheng from killing anything. All Bai Sheng ate was dry food and cooked food, and his mouth was filled with food. .It just so happens that Xiang Liurou, a person who is not afraid of death, comes to your door. What is the point of not eating a handful of blood food heartily?
Xiang Liurou, who was wearing a black robe, didn't watch out for Bai's sudden attack. He seemed to be just a sorcerer, and his physical strength was weak and his movements were slow. When he saw the sharp claws grabbing at him, he screamed in fright and rolled to the ground. , Di Liu Liu rolled over a dozen times in a row and escaped into the guard of his subordinates.
Xia Hou laughed and comforted Bai, who had blood in his eyes that shot out about a foot away. He slapped Bai's neck with one hand and mocked Xiang Liurou: "My lord, you are so skilled at Li Luo."
Xiang Liurou was so angry that her eyebrows stood up. The thin tubes under her skin suddenly rolled, and a green light came out between her eyebrows. Xia Hou keenly felt that the surrounding spiritual energy was controlled by a huge witchcraft force. , in front of Xiang Liurou, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged into a green light about the thickness of a finger, which suddenly bit towards him like a snake.
Bai used his claws to grab the green light. Xiahou was afraid that Bai would not use the white tiger energy in his body to resist the power of the green light and be hurt, so he took a step forward and punched the green light.
The yellow light enveloped his fist and collided head-on with the green light.
Buzz, as if dozens of huge bells were ringing in his ears, Xiahou's blood was boiling all over, and the Xuanwu energy in his body was almost defeated by this dim green light. The power of the green light was extremely strong, and it was like destroying the bones in his fist. The earth-yellow Yuan Power shattered and rushed into his body. In the meridians, the full liquid Yuan Power made a chaotic sound, like boiling soup and splashing snow, and was melted clean. There was a sharp pain in the internal organs that were as strong as gold. , was seriously injured by the gentle but powerful witch power.
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xiahou's khaki skin turned white for a while, and he staggered back a few steps. Then, his face suddenly turned light green. The core of the green light also contained a trace of Xiang Liurou. The witchcraft power of Xiang Liurou, what kind of witchcraft power it is, melts into Xiahou's body bit by bit, and wherever it passes, the activity of the body is completely strangled. The poison, Xiang Liurou's witchcraft power, is simply a kind of evil. of highly toxic.
Xia Hou forcibly roared, the khaki will-o'-the-wisp flashed in his eyes, a yellow light rushed out from the center of his eyebrows, dozens of boulders protruded from the ground, and smashed towards Xiang Liurou. With a long arm, he grabbed the one beside him. The soldier's sword, Xia Hou roared sharply, and a yellow light came out from the long sword, and it struck Xiang Liurou fiercely.
Bai Ye roared, reached out with his long arm, and grabbed Xiahou's dragon tendon bow. His eyes rolled with blood, and Bai, who was filled with murderous intent, casually grabbed the steel gun in the hand of a soldier, quack After letting out a ferocious laugh, he set up the string, fired the bow, and fired a spear towards Xiang Liurou. The steel spear was shaken by the huge force of the dragon's tendon bow, and the back half of the handle suddenly exploded, and the three-foot-long spear head in front turned into a A ray of white light, with a hissing sound, instantly reached Xiang Liurou's heart.
Xiang Liurou smiled slightly, glanced at it with admiration, and said in admiration: "Pixiu who can shoot arrows? It seems that he has also practiced a little bit of witchcraft? What a treasure, of course it is mine."
Turning her right hand, a ball of green light appeared on the index finger of Xiang Liurou's right hand. The air around her suddenly shook, and countless thin green lights shot toward Xiahou and Bai like rain.
Xiahou shuddered, yellow light exploded all over his body, and green spots appeared on his skin. It was shocking, and his body was directly knocked back for more than ten steps. But Bai hid quickly, and he jumped up with a long hiss. Ten feet high, his body shrunk into a flesh ball spinning around in the air. He avoided all the green lights. Tiny rocks fell all over the sky, and the huge rocks rolled up by Xiahou were also densely packed there. It was shattered into pieces in the green light.
A mouthful of green blood spat out, and bloodshot eyes appeared in Xiahou's eyes, and he looked at Xiang Liurou angrily. This guy with strange sounds looked like a human monster, but it was undeniable that he was a very powerful sorcerer. , in front of him, Xia Hou felt like his one-year-old self facing the Witch Lord. This was an absolute gap in strength, and he could not resist at all.
If he hadn't used witchcraft power to temper his body externally, and the Xuanwu Yuan Power inside had protected his body, he would have been turned into a sieve by Xiang Liurou's burst of green light. But even so, his body was already in chaos. It's a mess, the solidified inner alchemy is on the verge of collapse, and the green poisonous gas is constantly consuming his life, and the numb green spots on his body are getting bigger and bigger.
Bai let out a crazy roar, rushed down, and grabbed Xiahou's shoulder with one hand. Xiahou's strange eyes suddenly rolled, and blood was already pouring out of the corners of his eyes. Swinging his long sword, Xiahou shouted angrily: "Xiang Liurou, It’s either you or me! One of the two of us will die here!”
