At the south gate of Caocheng, the three parties of people and horses are like three vertical and horizontal lines with clear longitude and latitude. It is difficult to distinguish the light and dark, and there is silence all around. The shadows like black water are flowing on the ground, as if they are all mixed with the cold and frightening air.

Solidified.

Until...thousands of golden arrow-like rays of light gradually burst out from the clouds. They swallowed up the "black water" seeping out of the ground bit by bit. Under the city gate, in the hazy mist, those towering

The tall and majestic black-armored cavalry seemed to have absorbed the rays of light all at once. They saw the horses crossing the cold moraine and the rising sun shining on the Frost Castle. Everything was no longer just black and white, but had bright colors in the blink of an eye.

The mysterious and frightening shadows were swept away by the sun, as if a veil had been lifted, revealing the true face of this army.

Zhenwu, in their desolate uniforms, Yangwen and Suyuan Ruins, the cavalry stands swaying, carrying the brilliance of the dawn, but also impacting the darkness. Under the light, only the lacquered golden armor can be seen covering the body like a heavenly soldier. The sky is already ordinary, and the wind is blowing.

Jingzhao is far away, and the rain is washing the armor of the soldiers. They are three directions away, carrying swords for more than ten thousand miles.

Unlike the defeated soldiers in Beiwai Alley who were completely frightened, Feng Xuan trembled all over and hurriedly reined in his kicking and spinning mount. His pupils tightened and shrank, and he hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.

If this black cavalry army has a strong aura that can swallow up mountains and rivers at a glance, then their leader can crush everyone with an arrogant aura.

With one person, one horse, and one sword, he controls the world.

The others were choked by this sudden situation and lost their reaction for a moment. However, Chen Baiqi, who was held hostage by Hou Qing and "watched" all this in the dark, felt like he was struck by thunder when he saw him.

The light and shadow flowed in her dark eyes, half dark and half bright, like the turbulent black sea that suddenly stopped.

It's just because, although that soldier and that person seem to be a world away at the moment, the familiarity that once penetrated into the bone marrow cannot be erased so easily.

The wind blew, and he waved his arm to stop the cavalry, and rode forward alone.

Kick, kick, the crisp sound of horse hooves knocking on the stone road in the early morning was extremely harsh. The early morning clouds were swept away by the arrogant wind, leaving behind a golden light, which slowly crossed his steep body and the cold.

He gently turned and played with a string of red sandalwood beeswax beads in his hand.

Light and shadow are separated by the straightest lines. The golden yellow and dark blue are both pure and unmoved. He slowly opens his slender eyelashes, which are as long as feathers. The light passes through the face, with clear outlines. The face is made of jade, and the eyebrows are red with weeping blood.

, just like an armored god descending from the sky.

Time seems to be treating him particularly well. He is still sleeping in the wind and the open, but he is not skinny and sallow. He is still fighting and fighting. He is not embarrassed and barren. Even in the severe cold and heat, he is still unparalleled in the world. He has been born for thousands of years and is uniquely blessed by nature.

It's just that the appearance remains, but the person has changed. A pair of gentle and serene eyes, like a frozen snow river, only raining thousands of miles of bitter cold. The blood and coldness on his body are too heavy and too thick, and everything on him is...

Each stroke of outline and every trace seems to carry a hundred years of desolation and coldness.

——

Hou Qing took Chen Baiqi, who was unconscious, to an abandoned watchtower not far from the south gate but very hidden. From this window, he could clearly monitor the environment of the south gate.

At this time, although Chen Baiqi had woken up, her whole body was still unable to accumulate strength. She was leaning softly on Hou Qing's chest. He supported her to stand and watched the situation at the South City Gate develop with him.

Behind him, Wusha and Ya stood against the wall.

"Chu..."

Chu Cangyue...

Chen Baiqi looked through the thin and dusty light and looked at the eye-catching and shocking figure at the gate of Nancheng. He felt that the corners of his eyes that had been opened for too long and forgot to blink were sore, and they were probably red.

She had guessed many people, but never thought that it was this person who came in person.

This aspect really caught her off guard.

System: It is detected that there is a high-grade hero candidate around you who can awaken the Kirin bloodline. The Kirin bloodline increases by 3%, 4%, 6%...25%.

System: "Host body, soul scan."

System: "The scan is completed, the body has been strengthened by 15%, and the unicorn eyes can be opened."

System: "The scan is completed, the body has been strengthened by 25%, and the Kirin Arm can be opened."

Chen Baiqi's fair skin turned red, and she felt that the long-lost "Two Mountains of Ice and Fire" stimulated her body again, cutting bones and washing marrow over and over again. She suppressed the moans that almost overflowed from her throat, and felt angrily in her heart: "The system is inside"

, haven’t I already been bound to a new candidate lord? Why am I still affected by him?

After a while, the system responded to her faintly: The Qilin bloodline in your body still recognizes him...

Chen Baiqi was stunned. At that moment, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling was filling his heart.

Sometimes "first time" is really a fucking word, because even if you throw it away and have a second or third time, it still leaves its own unique mark on you.

She suddenly thought about something that happened a long time ago.

At that time, she was very high-spirited and determined that he would be her future lord. In order to express her inner ambition, she encouraged him to go to the "Mysterious Black Horn Village" copy of Mogao Grottoes without any followers.

This dungeon was far more dangerous than she imagined. She and he almost fell into it in various adventures, and he was on the verge of injury trying to save her. Fortunately, she finally awakened the power of the Kirin bloodline, and the battle turned from defeat to victory.

Afterwards, she blamed herself and apologized to him who was seriously injured.

But he said to her: "Do you think I will respond to anyone who asks for it like this? You should remember that whatever decision I make is based on my own will and not for other people's reasons."

His words were like a hero standing tall and standing on the mountaintop, unyielding from the hardships of life and suffering. He was so tall and awe-inspiring that she was glad that she was not with the wrong person.

"Sure enough, Chen San would never dare to abandon a lord like Young Master."

Never dare to abandon each other...

Chen Baiqi thought of his words that had struck his ears, and a smile overflowed from his lips, but that smile was like ice and snow, melting in the sun in an instant, so ethereal, so sad.

Hou Qing couldn't see the look on Chen Baiqi's back to him. He just felt that she suddenly became quiet and seemed to be about to disappear. He frowned, grabbed one of her hands, and pointed at the black spot below that was dyed red by the rising sun.

The direction of the cavalry.

"Do you recognize that person?"

Hou Qing's voice is highly discernible, and his speaking tone is neither high nor low, but rhymes like singing, with the elegance and softness unique to aristocrats.

Apart from anything else, just listening to him talk quietly is actually a kind of enjoyment.

Chen Baiqi gently closed his eyelids, not letting himself think about anything else, but immersed in his voice.

"It is rumored that King Ling of Chu was born with spiritual consciousness. He has chakras between his eyebrows on his forehead, and looks like a dragon or a phoenix. His nature is natural, and everyone in the world knows how beautiful he is." She finished calmly.

"Oh, I know it quite clearly. It turns out that hermaphrodites also know how to be lustful, so I admire Shao Ai." Hou Qing lowered his eyes, smiling at the corners of his eyes like hooks, with a bit of teasing.

Chen Baiqi was not in the mood to argue with him at the moment. She only asked: "Did you know he would come?"

The king of a country could appear in such a small place like this. If anyone else told Chen Baiqi about this, she would probably wonder if it was a rumor.

Hou Qing held her soft index finger like a noodle maker and pointed it firmly in the direction of King Chu Ling below. He gently pressed it against her ear, as if sharing a secret with her: "

Naturally, all of this was planned by him behind the scenes, and now that it is about to be successful, it is natural that he needs to come over in person to reap the results."

Chen Baiqi was shocked when he heard the words. He couldn't believe what he heard, but he also had a vague premonition that it would come true.

Her whole body was tense, her expression was calm, but her hands and feet were cold: "What... is he here to do?"

If he really did it, then why did he do these things?

Houqing's crow-green eyelashes were covered, and her half-open eyes looked so careless. He let go of her hand and said: "His purpose is always only for one person."

When Hou Qing said this, Chen Baiqi couldn't see his expression, but he felt that the atmosphere on his body suddenly changed. It was like a demonic moment when demons and monsters burst out from under his peaceful and deceitful mask.

While Hou Qing was speaking above, a quiet voice without warmth also sounded from below.

"There is only one person left."

In the empty city, his voice was cold and calm. His voice was like the black sky. The surrounding area seemed to have suddenly become invisible. There was no temperature, not even starlight. The vast land was dark, torturing people to move.

No.

King Chu Ling wore half a Jixuan mask, and he felt that his appearance was bright and enchanting, but his temperament was too cold and hard to look directly at. He stared at the trembling Beiwai Shou people and the defeated army in front of him, who were almost shrinking into a pile.

Indifferent and plain, just because they are as small as a group of ants.

"If he is willing to leave alone with Gu, Gu will let everyone here go. Otherwise... everyone in this city will be buried with him."

He appeared here with a strong and iron-blooded body, and surrounded and locked up the Shou people who had broken free from the cage and wanted to escape for so long, but he only said this simple sentence.

A statement that left everyone confused and shocked.

The longevity people, who were being herded around like antelopes, could not help but feel chills all over after hearing this. Even Feng Xuan, Wei Jian and others turned pale and looked at him in shock and wariness.

"The person coming... is Chu, King Ling of Chu?" Feng Xuan didn't care about chasing the deserters at this time. He stood across the crowd of longevity people gathered in front of him, and his usually lazy voice sounded like he was trembling from the cold air.

, shouting towards the front.

As the most favored aide of Lord Mengchang, Feng Xuan often followed him around, but he had seen the young master Cang Yue from a distance who had not yet succeeded to the throne of King Ling of Chu.

It's just that the temperament and demeanor of the young master Cang Yue at that time and the King Chu Ling at this moment were thousands of miles apart. It was as if they had completely changed. He was not sure for a moment.

King Chu Ling stood in front of the army, lonely and lanky. His indifferent eyes were always fixed on the silent Shou people in front, and he turned a deaf ear to Feng Chen's shouts from afar.

"Still unwilling to show up?" King Chu Ling looked around the crowd of longevity people and laughed. This light laughter fell in the air, but made everyone tremble hard and shiver.

King Chu Ling raised a hand, and the honey wax beads on his wrist rolled down. The black cavalry behind him, which had been stationary like stone statues, suddenly moved, click! But just one step forward, Yu Shouren and Feng Chen

In the eyes of the others, it was as if they were overwhelmed by an overwhelming force, as if they could overturn a city in just a moment.

"Wait a minute -" Feng Chen's eyes tightened, and the hand holding the sword could not stop exerting force: "King Chu Ling..."

King Chu Ling's eyes did not change at all. He waved, and the black cavalry's left and right wings turned over and dismounted. They squatted on the ground and took out their long crossbows. The arrows were pointed at everyone's heads.

"Commander, that's from the Chu State, the Chu State's crossbow-" Wei Jian's expression changed when he saw the weapon offered by the black cavalry army, and he quickly ordered his troops to disperse.

——

"One person is a city. If you exchange the people of a city for just one person, how important is this person in his mind?"

Chen Baiqi, who was on the watchtower, looked at the tense situation below that had turned into a war, and felt that he almost didn't recognize the strange Chu Cangyue below.

She had never thought that one day, the person she thought was kind and would never kill innocent people indiscriminately would say such cold-blooded words to such a group of defenseless people.

It was as if a pair of evil and cruel hands had rubbed away all the kindness and softness in his body, turning him into the cold and hard person he is now, made of ice and hard iron.

What, what changed him into what he is now?

Perhaps keenly hearing the disappointment and shock towards King Chu Ling in Chen Baiqi's restrained tone, Hou Qing withdrew his gaze downwards, looked at her, and asked with a smile on his lips: "Do you think

The person below does not look like the same person at all now as the Chu War God described by people in the world?"
