Twilight War

05

The 36 countries in the Western Regions are located in the vast desert, sandwiched between the Arthur Empire, the Vana Empire, and the Kingdom of Donghuang. Alien treasure.

Among the 36 countries, Wusun State is the largest and the richest, so all the countries take Wusun State as the leader of the alliance.

Wusun State called its leader Kunmo, and at this moment Kunmo Lie Jiaomi of Wusun State was holding a bloody jade ring between his fingers while looking at the beautiful boy sitting opposite him.

That young man was as beautiful as a peach blossom in the south of the Yangtze River, blooming in a flourishing age, yet possessing an awe-inspiring killing intent.

Normally, he would definitely not be able to resist doing something to this beautiful young man, but it's a pity that this beautiful young man is the head of Patriarch Huangxuan, so he cannot afford to offend him.

Lie Jiao Mi is red-haired and blue-eyed, tall but with a ruthless face, half-opened, sitting on the seat.

He has been thinking about it for a long time, and the Patriarch Huangxuan didn't rush him, just drinking tea leisurely, dressed in white, sitting with a crown on, a handsome young man, as gentle as jade.

But Lie Jiaomi knew that the head of Patriarch Huangxuan was not some gentle and elegant young man, this young man who was prettier than a woman, and even more stunning, had just set fire to the Silver City of the Vana Empire three days ago.

The news of the destruction of Yincheng was completely blocked, but he still knew the news. He understood that he could get the news not because of how well-informed he was, but because the Patriarch Huangxuan let him know on purpose.

The Huangxuan family has nine blood-soaked jade rings, which are the remnants of the jade talisman. Accepting the blood-soaked jade rings is the alliance of the Huangxuan family.And now Lie Jiaomi is considering whether to accept this blood-soaked jade ring.

This jade ring is said to be a blood-soaked jade ring, but in fact it does not contain any blood, it is transparent and flawless, and it is a natural piece of beautiful jade, which makes people love it.

Seven days later, the Vana Empire, the Arthur Empire and the Huangxuan family will hold peace talks in Wusun Kingdom.

It is said to be peace talks, but everyone can smell the bloody smell on the peace talk invitation.The Huangxuan family has already formed an alliance with the Arthur Empire, and the Vana Empire has invaded the Donghuang Kingdom before, and even killed the previous head of the Huangxuan family. It is impossible for the Huangxuan family not to report this hatred.

The Huangxuan family burned Yincheng three days ago. Yincheng is the heart of the Vana Empire, and the Vana Empire will not swallow this easily.

This is destined to be a feast for kings.

This feast will be blood for wine and bones for food.

I just don't know whose wine is whose bone.

The 36 countries in the Western Regions have surrendered to the Kingdom of Donghuang for a hundred years, and the Huangxuan family has been guarding the south of the Yangtze River. The Western Regions rarely have the opportunity to meet in the northwest of the Kingdom of Donghuang.

But he has heard a lot of stories about the Huangxuan family. The jade talisman of the Huangxuan family is basically a ghost weapon. The souls of those who swear their allegiance to the Huangxuan family will wait for the jade talisman call after death, and are ready to do it again at any time. Fight for the Huangxuan family.

So Jiangnan Huangxuan has never been defeated. If Lie Jiaomi had been in the past, he would have chosen the Huangxuan family without hesitation.

However, it is different now, the Huangxuan family lost to the Vana Empire, and even the previous head of the family died.Who knows if the jade talisman of the Huangxuan family is still useful, maybe even if it is lost.

Or maybe, that jade talisman was fake from the beginning, what ghost soldiers, what summons, what Huangxuan blood oath is just a story made up to scare others.So, he has to think about it now...

The 36 countries of the Western Regions are located in important places, and the desert of the Western Regions is vast. No army can pass through this desert alone. This is why there has been no communication between the Kingdom of Donghuang and the West Land for nearly a thousand years.

It wasn't until Vaner developed a giant steamship that could cross the vast ocean that he launched the glorious expedition that broke the peace between the two countries for thousands of years.

But it would be different if there were 36 countries in the Western Regions as an ally. They could serve as a relay station to supply food, grass and water. No matter which side needed them, they were allies.

He can naturally wait for the price. What he has to consider now is whether the Huangxuan family still has the strength in the past and is worthy of his alliance.

"I know that Kunmo is having a hard time choosing between the Huangxuan family and the Vana Empire." The head of the Huangxuan family played with the luminous cup in his hand, and looked at Lie Jiaomi with a chuckle. His smile fell like a peach blossom in the south of the Yangtze River , fell between the heaven and the earth, "Kunmo can rest assured of the strength of the Huangxuan family, and the jade talisman is also safe in my hands."

"The 36 countries in the Western Regions have surrendered to the country of Donghuang for a hundred years. During this period, the country of Donghuang has always been kind to the 36 countries. I have also heard about Kunmo, the country of Wusun, for a long time. This time, I just hope to continue our friendship."

"The Vana Empire has no chance of winning the Wusun peace talks. Now the Queen and the Privy Council are split, and each governs independently. The Queen only controls the military power at sea, and the military power on land is still in the hands of the Privy Council."

"The first clan of Huangxuan just wants to take back the life of the murderer of his father." Patriarch Huangxuan continued to smile, "I hope Kunmo will help you."

Lie Jiaomi looked at Patriarch Huangxuan, thinking secretly, indeed, if the Huangxuan family is now on the Arthur Empire, the Vana Empire may not have a chance of winning.

Among the three kingdoms, the Arthur Empire has the strongest military strength. He has never met His Royal Highness Vichypel, the consul of the Arthur Empire, but he has long heard of his strict military rule.

Behind the current Huangxuan family stands the Kingdom of Arthur.

The monarch of the Vana Empire was just a 16-year-old girl.

"I don't know what Patriarch Huangxuan's plan is on the day of the peace talks."

"It is only necessary for Kunmo to help the Huangxuan family when they need Wusun Kingdom. Kunmo doesn't need to worry about the rest." Patriarch Huangxuan said.

"Okay, then I'll accept this jade ring." Lie Jiaomi smiled with the corner of his mouth twitching.

"Kunmo please swear." Patriarch Huangxuan said still staring at Lie Jiaomi.

"What oath?"

"Blood into the soul, soul into the jade. Kunmo only needs to drip blood into the blood-soaked jade ring of the Huangxuan family, and recite the blood oath of the Huangxuan family. From then on, Kunmo is the ally of the Huangxuan family If there is any betrayal, he will be trapped by the jade talisman of the Huangxuan family after death, and he will be tortured by the soul of the Huangxuan family in the jade talisman for life and death, and he will never be free."

Kunmo still raised his eyebrows and smiled, cut his middle finger with a dagger, dripped blood onto the jade ring, and in an instant, the blood entered the jade ring.

Lie Jiaomi frowned for a long time, did not speak, then suddenly raised his head and asked Patriarch Huangxuan, "What is the blood oath of Huangxuan?"

Patriarch Huangxuan held the luminous cup with his hands calmly, and there were dark cracks on the cup. He said in a deep voice, "I swear that I will return with my soul, and my family and country will last forever."

"So that's how it is." Lie Jiaomi read softly, "I swear that I will return with my soul after death, and my family and country... will always be here."

Arthur's Empire, the top floor of the Genesis Library.

Weier looked at the map of the 36 countries in the Western Regions in his hand.

"There's nothing to see, it's all yellow sand." Tang De said impatiently: "Will Patriarch Huangxuan really kill Brunhilde at the banquet?"

"I don't think the head of Patriarch Huangxuan will let it go without killing Brunhilde," Weier said.

"Then what should we do? Watch Patriarch Huangxuan kill Brunhilde." Tang De asked, "Will that girl Isabel agree?"

"The peace talks are scheduled for three days later, and the queen has agreed to the invitation." Weir put the formation map on the table in front of Tang De, "The invitation letter stipulates that each party can only bring 1000 people. Ready."

Tang De picked up the formation map and looked at it for a while, then nodded, "How is Patriarch Huangxuan's preparation going?"

"Patriarch Huangxuan said that he is also ready."

"What do you think, Your Highness?" Tang De asked Vehipel who was standing by the window.

"That's it." Vehipel still just looked out of the window and said.

Isabel spread out the map of the 36 countries in the Western Regions in front of her. Wusun Kingdom is located in the desert of the Western Regions. Except for the thousand-year-old Loulan, it is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack.

Isabel spent a lot of time preparing for this talk. She said it was a peace talk, but everyone could see that there was a turbulent undercurrent under this banquet.

"Izzy, let the Privy Council do this kind of thing, it's too dangerous." Brunhild looked worriedly at Isabel who was studying the terrain.

Isabel shook her head, "It took me a long time to get the military power from the Privy Council. If they are allowed to attend this banquet again, what is the use of what I have been doing for so long."

"I want them to know that it's not the Privy Council ministers that the Vana Empire is talking about now, but me." Isabel said, she slightly raised the corner of her mouth, looked up at Brunhilde, her eyes were dormant Killing intent.

"How can fools attend the feast of kings?"

As soon as Wihipel returned to the bedroom, he saw Zichen standing by the window sill with bare feet.

"Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Put on your socks." Wihipel looked at Zichen and smiled slightly.

"The Vana Empire and the Kingdom of Donghuang are going to hold peace talks in Wusun, right?" Zichen looked at Vichypel and said, "The Arthur Empire will also participate."

Wisipel was stunned, knowing that Zichen must have seen the documents he left on the desktop, and nodded, "That's right."

"I'm going too." Zichen still looked at Wisipel, his eyes were like white mountains and black waters.

Wisipel smiled lightly and shook his head. He walked to Zichen's side, "Little Huangniao, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Just stay here and be obedient."

"No, I have to go, take me there." Zichen looked up at Vehipel.

"You don't have to worry about it, I will take care of everything." Wisipel put his hand on the back of Zichen's neck, and he could feel the young man's pulsating arteries with his fingertips, "You wait here for me obediently."

"Brother." Zichen still looked at Vichypel, with a mist in his eyes.

Vichypel still just shook his head.

Zichen tilted his head back in despair. He has been dreaming a lot lately, dreaming of the former Emperor Xuanyi, dreaming of the prosperous Jinling of the Six Dynasties, and dreaming of fishing boats on the Qinhuai River.

It was as if he was still the young master of Huangxuan, wearing a splendid red dress, setting up lanterns on the riverside to watch an opera, just like a playboy.

In a trance, Jinling 36th Street lined up in front of him, and he was still the boy who shuttled on the eaves of 36th Street, leaving all the guards of Huangxuan's house behind.

He saw him ascending the platform and descending the restaurant, dressed in black and red silk, chic and happy.

It was just that he looked back with a smile, and the fire engulfed the entire Jinling in an instant. Those pavilions, towers, pavilions, and carved beams and painted buildings all died in the burning flames.

He fell from the highest place in Jinling, he fell into a pool of blood, blood, blood, nothing but blood is death.Those Huangxuan guards who chased him all died in the flames, and only he lived alone.

Zichen twitched the corner of his mouth, smiling desolately and sadly, "Brother, will you help me?"

"As long as you stay here well, I will help you take care of it." Wihipel held Zichen in his arms and smiled softly, "Be good, be obedient."

Zichen buried his head on Wisipel's shoulder, but the images of blood and fire, dust and ashes were still flashing in front of him.

At night, all the bustling lights and crowds exhausted the bustle of Lost Paradise, so in the early morning, only desolation and silence remained in Lost Paradise.

Rain and snow fell in the early winter, and the cold rain mixed with the snow seemed to make it even colder.

Huangxuanjin slowly walked upstairs along the wooden spiral staircase on the first floor of the Lost Paradise. A layer of rain and snow fell on his shoulders, soaking into his clothes, making him a bit damp and cold.

Everywhere you can see people who got too drunk last night and fell to the ground.

On the ground are collapsing wine bottles and flower petals crushed by dancing shoes.

Without the hustle and bustle of the night, everything has a sense of grotesque unreality, but all of this is real and terrifying.All this should be true without the cover of the night's bright lights.But just stripped from the bustling, who can face this almost cruel and dilapidated reality.

The prostitute with the wine bottle woke up, and when she saw Huang Xuan Jin coming, she smiled drunkenly and waved to him.Huang Xuanjin nodded at the prostitute, and helped the prostitute lift up the skirt that fell to the ground, allowing her to continue to sleep soundly.

He pushed open the innermost black wooden door on the top floor of Lost Paradise, and there were curtains drawn inside, and the morning light shone through the gaps in the curtains, slightly illuminating the room.

Huang Xuanjin placed a black mandala on the black countess' dressing table, and then sat on a chair beside her.

The black widow hadn't woken up yet, and when she saw someone coming, she just turned over from the bed covered by the black gauze curtain. She took off her evening makeup, and she had a kind of haggard beauty.

For so many years, no matter when she went to sleep, she would never fall asleep without taking off her makeup like other girls who played and forgot everything.It seemed that she was still living elegantly and exquisitely like the lady of the noble earl's mansion back then.

The black widow was lying on the bed, with her calves hooked, and the figure of the beautiful young woman in the thin veil was like undulating mountains and flowing rivers.

She stayed in the brocade silk quilt for a long time before finally deciding to get up, and stepped out from the black gauze bed curtain, wearing a silky black pajamas, which was exquisite, elegant and beautiful.

She is no longer young, but she has a feeling of walking out of the wind and dust without getting caught in the wind and dust.She ignored Huangxuanjin, so Huangxuanjin didn't speak, and sat by the side watching the black widow put on makeup little by little.

He watched the black widow carefully apply the mandala-colored lipstick on her beautiful lips, and then licked it lightly.She is like a rose that carefully adorns itself before it blooms.

The rain and snow outside Lost Paradise hit the glass windows. This is a city that is not suitable for early morning.

"What are you here for?" Black Widow waited until she finished all her makeup, and then sprayed sandalwood perfume on her wrist before asking Huang Xuanjin without looking back.

"What else can I do here?" Huang Xuanjin looked at the black widow helplessly, "Madam, don't play with me."

"What day did you finish smoking this time?" Black Widow asked.

"I didn't touch it in the first three days. On the fourth day, I used up the week's supply. I didn't dare to look for you. I didn't dare to come until today."

"You still know how to be afraid." The black widow smiled with the corners of her mouth raised, beautiful but seductive and noble.She adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror and tied her belt in a beautiful knot. "You shouldn't have provoked this thing in the first place."

"Isn't it just cigarettes? There are too many people smoking." Huang Xuanjin said nonchalantly.

"You really think you are smoking ordinary cigarettes." Black Widow sneered, "Others don't know what's in the cigarettes, but I can't know."

"Well, I got it, I will control it." Huang Xuanjin smiled lightly, like a child who made a mistake and made a guarantee in front of adults, he looked so sincere, but everyone knew that he would never change.

"Did you drink recently?"

"No." Huang Xuanjin shook his head.

"How much did you drink?" Black Widow ignored him and continued to ask, so she would not believe Huang Xuanjin's words.

"I just drank a little in the Guards Corps a few days ago." Huang Xuanjin said helplessly.

"anything else?"

"I drank a few glasses in boredom on the black tower." Huang Xuanjin said, "Just a few glasses."

"How's your stomach?" Black Widow poured herself a glass of red wine, then sat opposite Huangxuan Jin with the exquisite red wine glass, her black pajamas slipped off her lapped long legs.

"It's nothing." Huang Xuanjin shook his head pretending to be relaxed.

The black widow continued to stare at Huangxuan Jin while shaking her red wine glass.

"Well, it hurt a little that night, but it's gone after that." Huang Xuanjin looked at the black widow helplessly and said, "Hey, you're stimulating me purely by drinking in front of me."

"You can be content," the black widow took a sip of the wine self-consciously, pinching the transparent glass with her beautiful and thin fingertips, "how many people ask me to accompany me for a drink, and I won't accompany you." Indeed, the beauty is as beautiful as lost The head of Paradise, let alone accompaniment, when Qian Jin sees her, someone will rush to pay.

"Then I can only thank Madam."

"You, at least take care of yourself..." the black widow tilted her head and said to Huangxuan Jin, her uncoiled hair was hanging to one side, and she was full of flair but seemed to be just an inadvertent movement, which was obviously so beautiful. With a little lonely. "I didn't expect to go to the Black Tower to collect your body."

"It's useless...you know, my body has been riddled with holes for a long time. If this one is healed, the other side is broken, and it can't be cured." Huang Xuanjin shook his head, "I'm now, but It's just living. It's a day to live one more day."

Perhaps, he is really that spoiled flower, no matter how hard he tries to raise it, he can only live languidly.What's more, no one can take care of him like a spoiled flower like Wisipel did back then.

The black widow sighed, holding the wine glass in one hand, searching in the drawer with the other, found an iron box from the inside, and threw it to Huangxuan Jin.Huangxuanjin opened the tin box, and inside was exactly seven cigarettes, a week's supply.

"Thank you." Huang Xuanjin smiled at the black widow.Holding a cigarette, she got up from the chair, "Goodbye, sister!"

"Go away." The black widow waved her hand at Huang Xuanjin, watching the black-haired officer slip away like a wild cat.

She gently shook the wine glass, picked up the black mandala on the dressing table, and twirled it in her hand.

In the past, she always felt that Huang Xuanjin was heartless, but later on, she would rather that he had no heart.

At first she thought that the boy only loved himself, but later she found that he didn't even love himself.
