beyond eight

In the Northern Kingdom, the land of Xuanwu, a hundred years ago, in the final battle of the God Realm, not only White Tiger's Xiufeng Gong, but also his good friend, King Xuanwu, fell from the altar.

Xuanwu was different from the White Tiger at that time. King Xuanwu had clearly designated the successor. The successor selected talents, implemented the New Deal, and made every effort to restore people's livelihood. This gave the national treasury, which had suffered losses for years, a breathing space. In just two years, the situation was basically stable. Keep in mind the domestic situation.

The successor"Ming Gong" was not only a mortal in the world, but also came from a humble background. Because of this, the reputation of the original royal family and nobles plummeted. The weakening of power led to the two gangs finally joining forces and waiting for the opportunity to usurp the throne.

Ming Gong reigned for ten years and worked hard, never coveting such power. He only swore to rebuild prosperity in order to repay King Xuanwu's life-saving grace. However, his body was light and thin, and he worked hard day and night, and the oil and lamps dried up.

In bed for a long time, he lamented that no one could succeed him, and he could never take action against the royal family. Finally, he had no choice but to stay in the royal family. He did not forget his instructions at the last moment, but the royal family was still sarcastic. He was calm and aware of what happened after his death. It was fate, and with a trace of peace, I left to find King Xuanwu.

Ming Gong passed away, Xuanwu was in chaos, and the royal family members fought fiercely. Zhongcheng took the opportunity to support the nobles, and wars broke out. At this time, all the big countries were recuperating. Only the Southern Kingdom had sent troops to assist. However, the warlords were separatist. Xuanwu, one of the five major countries, was divided into hundreds of forces overnight. The situation was over and no one could recover. There had been no civil war in a hundred years The people are impoverished and the population is declining.................

"stop!"

The officer yelled at the two people who were struggling on the ground, and took a few steps forward to separate them. The two soldiers glared at each other angrily, and asked why, it was because one of them mockingly said"a lost dog." The officer was silent for a moment. , handcuffed them together, let them eat and sleep together, and arranged for them to be on guard all night.

At night, all the hundreds of soldiers in the camp fell asleep, and the two stood with their backs to each other on the sentry post, watching what was happening outside. The grass moved.

The two soldiers were young and immature, but they were both veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Although their backgrounds were very different, under the subjugation of the country, there was no distinction between high and low.

"Was your former commander a member of the imperial guard of the palace?"

"Yes, the teacher has been on the front line. The last time we met was a year ago."

"So, did you learn your sword control skills from him?"

"That's right, what? you will not?"

"How could I"

"Haha, I'll teach you when I have time"

"No, I still think guns are easier to use. Besides, I don’t want to wear your old armor."

"you!"

"Just kidding, okay, I'm sorry."

"cut! Forget it."

The two of them smiled and suddenly noticed something strange below.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The two shouted, and as soon as they issued a warning, they were blown away by the bombardment. They opened their eyes vaguely, and saw that the commander's camp was destroyed under the artillery fire. His comrades fell one after another, and they found that he had been killed with the enemy, and One person from the enemy also relied on his superb sword control skills to compete with him. He stood up and joined forces with the remaining brothers to fight back. However, the enemy was outnumbered and we were wounded and captured on the spot. I, destined to witness His last battle.

In the final blow, they both suffered losses. The enemy retreated in a hurry, sparing me, the only one captured.

"hold onto"

"Don't waste your efforts."

I pressed his chest hard and tried my best to heal his wounds. However, I felt that his life was gradually disappearing.

"I was also confused, and I was just like you, until I met a teacher. Haha, I have been wearing this armor, not to show anything in front of others, but to her. I have witnessed the glory of my ancestors as soldiers defending the country, and it also reminds me all the time that as long as the faith remains, Xuanwu will be peaceful."

"Stop talking, hold on."

He smiled, pushed me away, stretched out his palms and used his last strength, and the armor was put on my body in an instant.

"Believe me...Ahem, no matter what others say, as long as the faith is there, we......Not a lost dog".............

‘hehe! To think of this.

After the leader closed his eyes, many years of past events suddenly flashed through him. After that, he once stood firm in his faith, but due to years of chaos and countless betrayals, he became disheartened. In the past two years, for the sake of profit, he also did After doing all the bad things in the opposite direction, I thought of my old friend's last words and woke up again. I opened my eyes and looked at Yun Zhong in front of me. I seemed to have seen"him". I thought that I had betrayed"him" and the calm face should finally come. punishment.

Seeing the peace in his eyes, Yun Zhong hesitated at the thought, and reacted suddenly. Fearing that he was playing some trick, he quickly stood up and stepped firmly on his chest. He gritted his teeth and wanted to pull the trigger, but failed. Inexplicably, his hands softened, and a sudden thought occurred to him, wanting to capture him and take him back.

"Let's do it"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Yun Zhong shouted. Suddenly, a wisp of poisonous smoke spurted out from the cracks in the floor and sprayed directly into Yun Zhong's face. He hurriedly fired, but the leader broke away. When he came to his senses, the world was green and filled with coughs.

‘What a waste! Yunzhong cursed himself in his heart, covered his mouth and held his breath, trying to resist with his divine power, but it was too late. Because of his carelessness just now, he took a deep breath. The smoke gradually dissipated, and the world in his eyes no longer had color. , the body began to twitch uncontrollably

"I, I can never die this way, at least...I'm going to kill you first."

Yun Zhong was still holding on to his last obsession, and he squeezed into the ferocious face with staggering steps. Step by step, step by step, finally, when he saw the figure, he slowly raised his gun, but found that there was nothing in his hand. He roared in his heart, but even if he refused to give in, all the good things would leave him.
