[Hua Yang] Water and Moon

In the early winter of that year, the water in the West Lake was not yet frozen, 17-year-old Ye Lan was taken by her father to make friends with famous relatives, but Li Yuan received a letter from his uncle to go to the far north, and left very suddenly.

When Ye Lan returned to the villa on a fast horse and light boat, Li Yuan, who had been waiting for him at the pier for a few days, only had time to pat him on the shoulder and said goodbye by fate.The oars were splashed and the boat left the shore, Li Yuan grinned and showed his familiar canine teeth, leaving Ye Lan with a solid back, nothing else.

Ye Lan dropped the sword, gritted her teeth, and punched the tree on the pier with red eyes, but she didn't cry.

At that time, Ye Lan couldn't understand what military orders are like mountains, what is a highly disciplined Tiance Mansion, why Li Yuan has to leave, why he has to stay in the villa to inherit the family business, and why Li Yuan has to go back on what he said so soon.

Fortunately, his father is still in his prime, and it is reasonable for Ye Lan to go out to practice at a young age. In the second early spring after Li Yuan left the villa, Ye Lan packed up his clothes and picked up his sword, impatiently stepping in the footsteps of his predecessors. Rivers and lakes.

As soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, it was really a coincidence that Li Yuan went to Kunlun.

At that time, the Haoqi League and Evilren Valley were in full swing. A camp could change hands twice within three days, and Kunlun, which was adjacent to the Evilren's base camp, was even more turbulent.

The battle has been fought for many years, with losses in the east and west Kunlun, and several changes of commanders. After a fierce battle, the Haoqi Battalion was vacant. General Liao was invited to go to the East Kunlun with the messenger of the Haoqi League to maintain stability.

That year, Li Yuan had grown up and followed him all the way to Kunlun as General Liao's deputy.He is tall, with broad shoulders and thick back, the green onions of his youth have faded between his brows, and the edges and corners of his face are becoming clearer. Silver hooks, every move is engraved on the ice cover, and the blossoming ice flowers are admirable.

Li Yuan, who had just arrived in Kunlun, didn't have a deep understanding of the fight between the two camps. Apart from being a bit new, he had no other ideas. He felt that the land of Kunlun was no different from the battlefield where the Tiance Mansion trained troops.

Until that day, on the side of the winding mountain road, the braziers were extinguished one by one, and then lit one after another. The assassination team jumped off the roof first and cut the throat of the unsuspecting guard. Suddenly struck.

East Kunlun has no commander at this time, and the Valley of the Wicked attacked its side camp with the least combat effectiveness. Mechanized crossbow arrows and chariots destroyed the city. In the blink of an eye, they invaded the south camp of East Kunlun and blasted down half of the city wall. Smeared land, a piece of wildfire scorched earth.

General Liao was not a noble sergeant, since he was in Kunlun, he couldn't see the scene where even the old and the weak, women and children were killed. The peace negotiation was ineffective, so he immediately raised his silver spear and went out to fight. Lord of Windcastle.

Originally, both sides were powerful celebrities, and it was not unusual for them to be evenly matched. Even if the people around the Master of Coldwind intervened from time to time, the experienced General Liao could easily put aside those trivial matters and confront the commander head-on.

Li Yuan was in charge of protecting people from fleeing in the barracks. He pointed his spear at the east and west, but when he turned his head, he saw his uncle's body froze from a distance. He struggled a few times with the spear and knelt down on the ground.

Li Yuan turned pale with fright, turned around and rushed towards the door, but before he got close, he smelled a pungent smell. This smell was not like the poison that Datang was used to. , as if under a spell, his whole body was numb and disobedient, he stepped on a few steps with his feet crossed, and fell to the ground slumped.

Before losing consciousness, he saw from his blurred vision that the weapon pierced his uncle's body, and then the blood gushed out, staining everything he saw red, followed by the wanton attack of Lord Howling Wind. Crazy laughter pierced his ears and pierced his unprepared heart one after another.

After a long period of darkness, Li Yuan woke up in a crevice of the rock in severe pain, with disheveled hair and damaged armor, and almost crawled back to the camp.The messengers and the rest of the assembly were cleaning up, and they were overjoyed to see him come back, and hurriedly gathered to carry him to heal his injuries.

Li Yuan glanced across, but there was no sign of his uncle, only the tangy burnt smell made people frown.

No matter how much conflict there is in Kunlun, both sides will rest by default when both sides suffer.Anyway, Coldwind Castle was dissatisfied with the Haoqi League for recruiting outsiders to sit in the camp and participate in the battle of the camps, and did not hesitate to use the camp to spread frost on the already depressed East Kunlun.

It was just a sneak attack. The Evilman Valley broke most of the furnace flags in East Kunlun, captured a hundred knights, and beheaded General Liao to demonstrate. Fortunately, Li Yuan and his uncle were not blood relatives and had different surnames, so they were treated as inconspicuous little characters. , Leaving half of his life to embarrass Haoqi.

General Liao was the sworn brother of Li Yuan's father who passed away early. Half of Li Yuan's 20 years of spring and autumn were spent by his uncle's side.

Li Yuan survived like this, sleeping on a wooden bed wrapped in bandages, hating him so much for the first time in his life, hating the other party's cruelty and mercilessness, hating his famous uncle who was supposed to be shrouded in horse leather would die because of being plotted against So wronged.The injury was obviously not serious, but there was a bloody wound in his heart that was difficult to heal, and the fire of hatred was blazing.

Thus, the young Tiance struggled to stay at the bed ten days later, and took over the temporary appointment documents handed over by the messenger.

(3)

Only thirteen days had passed since the surprise attack on the Valley of the Wicked. At night, the bells of Howling Castle rang loudly. The mighty Qi, who always regarded himself as being upright and disdained to take advantage of others' danger, gathered the power of Eastern Kunlun and approached the city.

The Lord of Howling Castle not only took the head of General Liao and escorted the prisoners back to the valley, but also took some of the generals with him. At this time, only the remaining troops and some injured people remained in West Kunlun, as well as Ye Lan who had just arrived.

Ye Lan has been in the rivers and lakes for several years, and she has matured a lot. This time, she was only recommended by someone as a guest, and because she heard some rumors that Li Yuan was in Kunlun, but it was a pity that Li Yuan did not see him. He left before settling down. He only heard that there was a battle between East and West Kunlun earlier, and now he is seeing a further battle.

Ye Lan, carrying a heavy sword and a light sword, stepped on the arrow tower of the city wall of Howling Castle, looked at the densely packed fires below for a while, flung the gold and silver cloak, and turned around with a look of disdain. He grabbed the wine bowl and jug in mid-air, and went up to the roof of Fort Howling, causing the servants and knights who followed him to shout for a while.

East Kunlun suffered heavy losses. They should have kept a low profile and nourished their vitality first. It is too stupid to come here now. Even if the Fortress of Cold Wind has no owner at the moment, the owner of the Fortress still has enough mechanism chariots to prevent problems before they happen. He is as keen as a leaf Lan, at a glance, he knew that the Haoqi League could not win.

But he didn't know that it was Li Yuan who came.

After all, Li Yuan was a stratagem taught by Uncle Liao, and he took advantage of the opportunity when the castle owner was not in West Kunlun. Even though he didn't have enough troops, it was enough to trick the enemy and divide and attack.

The only difficult thing is the dozens of arrow towers standing upright, and the gate-like mechanism imitated in the Valley of the Wicked. The mechanism opens and closes like a meat grinder. Once activated, it can cut off the passage and twist people on the road into pieces. Xuemo, but Howling Castle is backed by a mountain, with cliffs on both sides, and the only road leading to it is the front door.

It's not surprising that Ye Lan heard that this mechanism is powerful from the calm and vicious mouth. Even if he just came here, he knew that there are many ways to torture people in the valley. There are pharmacists who like to use indiscriminate means and sneak around.

Anyway, it's none of his business, he just needs to sit on the roof, drink and watch a play.

Ye Lan thought so, and did the same thing. Even though the cold wind was howling and the sound of fighting in Howling Castle, the handsome smile on his handsome face did not lose half a point, until the soldiers from the Haoqi League actually attracted the guards. Going around the heavy military point and going straight to the main entrance, he caught a glimpse of a slightly familiar figure moving towards here wielding a spear.

Ye Lan immediately shook the wine bowl in her hand and stood up, staring at the figure closely, seeing him dismounting and charging forward again, swinging his spear in all directions, cutting a path of blood, getting closer and closer The mechanism at the gate, the mechanism master moved in an instant, and the wooden nails and iron locks in front of the city gate roared and began to move.

Seeing the tall tassels, the all-too-familiar marksmanship and the occasional canine teeth, Ye Lan couldn't stand any longer, jumped off the roof, asked someone after pulling him, and asked after a while.

The entourage who followed him saw that the so-called eldest and young master was like this, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Ye Lan asked a few people, and the answers he got were that once the mechanism is opened, you can't stop halfway, and you have to go to the end to turn back. This made him suddenly panic when he turned his head to look at the door: the range of the arrow tower is concentrated in the front door passage. It's okay to dodge with Qinggong, but Tiance's move is not good at Gao Yuan's Qinggong. Li Yuan didn't know why he must come, straddling the horse to attract the firepower of the arrow tower, and ordered his subordinates to take the opportunity to go around and attack the mechanism master.

Ye Lan saw Li Yuan lagging behind to let people pass first, saw the creaking wooden piles and rocks twisted inch by inch on the ground, shoveling out snow-white ice slag, watching and watching, sweating on his temples in the freezing weather.

Even if the mechanism master is dead, the mechanism will not stop, and the space to avoid the arrow tower will become smaller and smaller. Once the arrows are densely packed, they will become absolutely lethal.

Ye Lan clenched her fist, hesitated for a moment, then picked up the epee, kicked off the ground, and rose into the air.The entourage couldn't stop him, watching helplessly as he set up lightness kung fu and crossed three heavy doors.

The sound of the drums is loud, and the drums are full of energy, and then they fall again. The arrows are like rain.
