Tianming Liu tilted his head and looked at the watch on Gu Qing's wrist. It was less than ten minutes to midnight.
The armor was already neatly put on, and it unexpectedly fit him. It was not as heavy as he had imagined. Liu Tianming tried to jog around the house. Other than the cloth lining that was a little tight, there was basically no problem with his movements.
Yuwen tried to put the iron helmet on his head. After thinking for a while, he took it off and pinched off half of the long feathers on the iron helmet. He probably felt that the feathers Gu Qing found were too long and a little exaggerated. Liu Tianming's black helmet had a red tassel, so there was no such problem.
Gu Qing held a few thin pins in his mouth and was even adjusting the belts on the two men. With the red belts, the two men in black armor suddenly looked heroic and mighty!
The big dog Xuangang squatted in the corner and looked at the three people in the room calmly.
In the banquet hall on the top floor of the Soaring Dragon Building, a big show was about to begin…
"Go, don't keep fiddling with our belts. Take Xuangang to the control room and try the effect of this miniature walkie-talkie.”Yuwen was very concerned about whether the small microphone hidden under the armor could work properly.
"Didn't you already try it just now?”Gu Qing knew that he couldn't stay here forever, but he still didn't want to leave.
"It's better to try again. There was some rustling in my receiver just now.”Liu Tianming touched the earphones in his ears, feeling a little worried.
Gu Qing reluctantly led Xuan Gang to hide in the rather hidden banquet hall sound control room. There was a small window in the control room that allowed one to observe the situation in the entire hall. If the lights in the control room were turned off, one would not be able to see that there was a man and a dog hiding inside.
"You have to pay special attention later. Don't leave the range of five steps around me. My spiritual power can only maintain the effect of the Void Spirit Sand on your face within this distance. I don't want the Jing River Dragon King to see your face fall to the ground!”Yuwen reminded Liu Tianming again.
"Got it!" Liu Tianming was a little impatient. He said that he had used some Void Spirit Sand spell to transform himself into Qin Shubao's appearance. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, but he didn't see any changes... He just listened. Liu Tianming truly trusted the pistol that he carried with him all year round. However, the gun was not on him now. Instead, it was stuck under a table with tape. This made him feel a little uneasy.
"Hello? Can you hear me clearly?" Gu Qing's voice came from the receiver, as pleasant as ever. Liu Tianming's eyelids drooped slightly, but he was not in a hurry to answer.
"Hey! "Don't tell me there's really something wrong…" Gu Qing muttered to himself.
"The sound quality is okay. Pay attention to my signal later.”Yuwen's voice rang out.
"Alright, Tianming. How is it on your side? Can you hear me clearly?”
"It's alright, but it doesn't sound like your voice. Why don't you sing a song?”Liu Tianming suddenly had a thought.
"At this juncture, who has the mood to sing for you?”Gu Qing sounded angry." When you two come back safely, I'll even hold a concert."”
" Haha…" Yuwen and Liu Tianming laughed at the same time. Before the laughter stopped, the bell from the bell tower in the distance rang!
" Dang…Dang…" It was as if midnight was announcing its arrival.
Tianming Liu grabbed his lance and looked at Yuwen with determination, indicating that he was ready. Yuwen nodded and gestured to Gu Qing in the sound control room.
" Clang..." With a low sound from Pan She's tune, the quiet and distant sound of the zither traveled through the entire hall like flowing clouds and flowing water. It was fast but not fast, and it did not linger! In an instant, as if time and space had changed, the three people present felt as if they were standing on a quiet mountain peak, looking at the Moonlight Mountain Road, and their thoughts could not help but fly.
Gu Qing had learned music when he was young, so he was familiar with music appreciation. Now that he heard this excellent zither, he couldn't help but feel strange."Yuwen, where did you get this ancient music? It sounded a little like "Memories of Old Friends", but it was very different when he listened carefully. The artistic conception was much more profound!”
"Speak softly." Yuwen's serious tone scared Gu Qing so much that he secretly stuck out his tongue." This is the real Eastern Han's Guqin song,'Missing Old Friends in the Empty Mountains', composed by Cai Yong. This song was very popular in the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, it has changed a lot since it was passed down to this day. It is also constantly being misrepresented. The' Missing Old Friends 'that you once heard is no longer the original sound.”
"Can this zither sound really attract the Jing River Dragon King?”Liu Tianming asked in a low voice as he looked around. Since the last chiseling incident, the place had not been renovated. Only the damaged tables and chairs had been moved away. There were very few intact tables and chairs left. They were scattered in the hall, but now they were gathered together by Yuwen. If it were not for the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall that could see the city night sky outside the building, the empty place would have looked like an empty warehouse.
" If a person has been imprisoned for decades, everything around him must have changed. When he suddenly hears the familiar music in a completely unfamiliar environment, he will definitely rush forward to see what's going on. Besides, the Jing River Dragon King has been suppressed under the Broken Dragon Platform for more than 1,300 years.”Yuwen answered in a heavy tone.
"But there's no movement?" Liu Tianming pricked up his ears to listen. Other than the vibration of the zither strings, there was no other movement around him.
" Don't worry…" Before Yuwen finished his sentence, his body suddenly trembled and his gaze was fixed on a corner of the sky. Then, Yuwen whispered into the microphone,""Everyone, the guests have arrived…"
Tianming Liu's heart skipped a beat. After spending so much time with Yuwen, he had become more sensitive. Although he didn't see anything, he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him. However, if he couldn't even see where his opponent was, wouldn't he already be at a disadvantage at the beginning of this match?
"Uncle Bao!" Yuwen shouted loudly and patted Liu Tianming's shoulder.
Liu Tianming was stunned for a moment before he realized that Yuwen was referring to him. The show had already begun.
"I didn't expect to be able to reunite with you today after a thousand years.”Yuwen continued to recite the lines he had prepared in advance.
"Brother Jingde." Liu Tianming was not used to this title, and his voice was a little hesitant." Reincarnated and able to reunite with an old friend. Could it be that our former relationship has not ended and we can still ride together?”
"In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. The current world is different from the past. You and I are no longer the dukes of the past. " Hehe…" Yuwen waved his hand and acted quite naturally.
"Brother has always been open-minded and doesn't care about official positions. How did you dampen your spirit now?”Liu Tianming gradually got into character, and his speech became smoother.
Yuwen was silent for a moment and said,""Elder brother, you are right. I was born in the wilderness and was indebted to the Tang King to create the country. Although the past is as distant as smoke and clouds, why can't I start all over again?”
"What a good start from the beginning! Wang Shubao is willing to go with Wang Jingde's younger brother to rebuild his achievements.”Liu Tianming paused for a moment before continuing," I wonder if you're here today for the Evil Dragon of the Jing River?”
"That's right! That evil dragon is still haunting us. He actually took advantage of the time when the Broken Dragon Platform established by Prime Minister Wei was destroyed for no reason to reappear in the human world. I must capture this evil dragon to comfort Your Highness! Brother, rest for a while. Wait for me to lure that evil dragon to appear and get rid of this evil before we catch up.”When Yuwen said this, his tone had already become vicious, and his face had also become ferocious. Gu Qing, who was hiding in the dark, could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. Yuwen's expression had actually become 70 - 80% similar to Yuchi Gong's on the fax!
"That evil dragon of the Jing River, just because of your highness 'unintentional promise, he pestered you endlessly. But now that His Highness is no longer in the world, this dragon has been trapped here for more than a thousand years. If it understands and is willing to retreat, then let it live.”Liu Tianming reached out to stop Yuwen.
" Elder brother, please don't intercede for that evil dragon. If it was really sensible, it wouldn't have caused this bloody storm and increased the number of innocent souls…"
"When you and I fought on the battlefield, many people died under the blade. I don't dare to say that everyone should be punished. That evil dragon is a dragon god. Breaking its soul is not a good thing…"
Before Liu Tianming could finish his sentence, a huge hole appeared in the ceiling! Broken wood and fine sand poured down like rain. Liu Tianming and Yuwen were shocked and took a step back at the same time. Amidst the dust, a huge black shadow appeared.
This was Liu Tianming's first time seeing Hun Dun. Even though he had imagined Hun Dun's broken tail countless times, he still didn't expect it to be so terrifying. Hundun, who had its tail cut off, crawled clumsily and slowly, but when its bloody mouth opened, Liu Tianming's heart beat abnormally violently, and his legs could not help but tremble.
Fortunately, a strong hand was placed on Liu Tianming's shoulder. When Liu Tianming turned around, Yuwen's firm eyes were fixed on Hun Dun. He did not look at Liu Tianming, but the power that came from his hand made Liu Tianming calm down.
Liu Tianming gripped the long spear in his hand tightly. His palms were slightly sweaty. Without Yuwen's hint, he could not act on his own.
Yuwen was actually very nervous. The best situation was that the Jing River Dragon King didn't see through their tricks. The two generals 'remaining power would still be there, and the Dragon King would retreat. However, the Dragon King had descended from the sky without any hesitation, and he did not even use the unique attributes of Chaos to transmigrate. Could it be that he had seen through the flaw?
Hun Dun raised his head and looked down at Yuwen. Yuwen could clearly feel that the death aura emitted by Hun Dun was stronger than before. Around the huge snake-shaped body, black miasma could be seen rising. Was it the Jing River Dragon King who controlled Hun Dun? Or was it the chaotic ruthlessness that affected the Dragon King…
Yuwen Ting took a step forward and pointed his long lance at Hun Dun, shouting,""Jing River Evil Dragon, why aren't you showing yourself? Are you waiting for me to break through your bluff?”
Gu Qing followed Yuwen's instructions and connected Yuwen's microphone output to the audio equipment in the banquet hall. Yuwen's low roar was amplified by the slightly and echoed in the hall.
Hun Dun let out a long roar and then lowered his head to the ground. His huge head was only eight or nine steps away from Yuwen and Tianming. Looking at Hun Dun's sharp teeth at such a close distance, Tianming suddenly remembered that the murderer who brutally killed Zhang Jianguo was this monster. His blood boiled. If Yuwen hadn't stopped him with a stern look, he would have stabbed the monster with his lance.
After Hundun fell to the ground, its body suddenly convulsed violently. Gradually, a white shadow separated from its body. Gu Qing and Liu Tianming widened their eyes and looked at this magical scene. Yuwen didn't dare to be negligent. He held an ordinary lance in his right hand to guard against Hun Dun, but the hollow spirit golden spear suddenly appeared in his left hand. The tip of the spear was aimed straight at the white shadow.
The white shadow slowly condensed into a ball, turning from virtual to real. In the end, it turned into an elegant middle-aged man in a long white robe!
The man had a strange appearance. His face was white and he had a long beard. His eyes were closed. Suddenly, his eyes opened wide. His eyes shone with a cold light as he looked at Yuwen and Liu Tianming.
Yuwen and Liu Tianming looked at the man fearlessly. Yuwen even raised the hollow spirit golden spear and pointed it at the man's chest.
The middle-aged man smiled, cupped his fists, and bowed to the two of them. He said in a clear voice,""Ya Country Duke, Country Protector Duke, it's been many years since we last met, but you're still as powerful as ever!”As he spoke, he was neither servile nor overbearing, his expression calm.
Tianming Liu took a step forward and placed the lance behind his back. He said,""It's been hard for the Dragon God to endure here. It's a happy occasion for him to turn things around.”According to Yuwen's prior agreement, if they faced the Dragon King, Yuwen would play the good cop and Liu Tianming the bad cop.
" I didn't mean to be polite just now. I was eavesdropping on your conversation. Both of you are true heroes. It's rare for you to speak up for me, so I'm very grateful…" As he spoke, the Dragon King bowed deeply. However, after straightening his back, the expression on his face became arrogant.
"However, this old dragon is fortunate enough to be reborn and will definitely not retreat so easily. General Yuchi, what do you think?”The Jing River Dragon King had previously addressed him as a duke, but in the blink of an eye, he had changed his title to general. It seemed that he was not afraid of war. As he spoke, the Dragon King reached out his hand and stroked Hundun, the giant beast beside him. Hundun crouched on the ground in a respectful manner.
"Evil Dragon, how can you be so ignorant?" Yuwen shouted angrily. The world has long changed. How many changes have happened? His Highness the Tang King has also passed away. You are causing trouble here for no reason and hurting the innocent. What kind of hero are you?”
"Innocent?" The Dragon King sneered." Li Shimin, that kid, has committed heinous crimes. Why would he care about the innocent?”
Yuwen and Liu Tianming looked at each other blankly, not knowing what the Dragon King was referring to.
"Generals, don't think too highly of yourself. When you were guarding the palace gate in Chang 'an Imperial City, the old dragon was injured by Wei Zheng. His soul had not gathered and his blood was not condensed, so he could not compete with you. Now that I have recovered 70%, although you are heroes, you are only heroes among people. How can you fight with the Dragon God?”At this point, the Dragon King burst into laughter.
Liu Tianming cursed in his heart. He had never believed that Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao, two mortals, could suppress the Jing River Dragon King. Now that the Dragon King was not afraid of the two of them at all, was he really going to pounce on them and risk his life? He turned to look at Yuwen, wanting to know what Yuwen had in mind.
Yuwen Hui looked at Liu Tianming with confidence. Then he looked at the Dragon King contemptuously and said,"" Evil Dragon, if I knew you were so arrogant, it would be difficult for us two brothers…" As he spoke, Yuwen suddenly slammed the wooden table with a loud bang.
This was the signal that he had agreed with Gu Qing beforehand. Gu Qing was hiding in the control room. When he heard this sound, he immediately turned on the switch on the console.
In an instant, the three projector hanging on the ceiling started working at the same time. On the white wall beside the Jing River Dragon King, a huge shadow was projected. On the wide wall, a team of soldiers in full armor immediately appeared!
"The soul has returned and summoned the old troops. With these 300 soldiers, why would I be afraid that you wouldn't bow down and be executed?”Yuwen waved his long spear in an imposing manner.
All of this was actually just a movie video that Yuwen had carefully edited. At this moment, it was played on the projection. Coupled with the excellent reverberation of the sound effects, the hall seemed to have the momentum of thousands of troops gathered here. The soldiers on the wall pulled out their swords and shouted loudly. Even the Jing River Dragon King, who had been standing proudly, was shocked and did not dare to act rashly.
Liu Tianming and Gu Qing broke out in a cold sweat. Yuwen Bing had risked his life, but he had actually shown a movie to scare the Jing River Dragon King. This was almost like Zhuge Liang's empty city tactic. If the Dragon King tried to test the strength of these soldiers, they would be completely exposed!
After looking around, the Jing River Dragon King raised his head to look at the big hole in the ceiling.
Could it be that the Dragon King really believed in Yuwen's deception and was not confident enough to seek a way out for himself? Liu Tianming seized this opportunity and called out to Yuwen,""Brother Jingde, don't be rash!" Then he turned to the Dragon King and shouted,"Jing River Dragon God, I don't want both sides to suffer. As long as the Dragon God leaves the Broken Dragon Platform and doesn't harm the people, we won't chase him!”
The Dragon King's eyes shone brightly as he replied,""Protector of the country, I thank you again, but this matter cannot be settled. Li Shi Min went back on his word and destroyed my Water Tribe.”
" He committed a heinous sin and destroyed my Water Tribe…" Gu Qing silently recited the Dragon King's words. It didn't seem to be the case in the legends…Could there be something else that no one knew?
Thinking of this, Gu Qing whispered to Yuwen through the walkie-talkie,""Yuwen, when did Li Shimin harm the Dragon King's Water Tribe? Why did it keep saying that Li Shi Min had committed a heinous crime? Even if Li Shi Min didn't help him escape Wei Zheng's pursuit, it wasn't a heinous crime, right?”
Yuwen was silent for a moment, then shouted to the Dragon King again,""Evil dragon, you restrained the rain and violated the heavenly rules. How can you blame my lord?”
However, the Dragon King didn't understand what Yuwen said.""What do you mean by restraining the rain? Violate the heavenly rules? When have I, the Dragon King of Jing River, ever been bound by any heavenly rules?”
"Ah?" The three people present were all shocked. Could it be that the death of the Jing River Dragon King was not as simple as the legends said?
