The main gate of Yongling South City was called the Illustrious Virtue Gate, which meant that it was open and aboveboard, having both virtue and talent. Since ancient times, the emperors who had set up their capital here had to pass through this gate alone to show that they had both virtue and talent, and it was said that they could continue the empire.
Legends were legends, and could no longer be verified. However, some legends truly existed, and could not be erased.
It was a dusky day, and the orange sunset shone from the westernmost side. It reflected the moat, making it look like a beautiful mirror was standing on the river. However, the passersby were not in the mood to appreciate it, because at this hour, the city gate was about to close. If they missed it, they would have to spend the night outside the city.
However, among the passersby, there was a man who looked even more dazzling than the scenery. He attracted the attention of the passersby and caused them to talk about him.
He had a head of devilishly long purple hair, which reflected a dark red light under the orange sunset. Wherever he walked, there seemed to be bits of crystal floating in the air, like the twinkling stars.
He wore a deep purple shirt with a large collar, and a long white robe with large sleeves. In his hand, he held an exaggeratedly long black knife. The patterns on the scabbard were simple and unadorned, looking like some kind of flower pattern.
There was probably only one man in the world who looked so beautiful, and that was Yan Shiyi.
Those with good eyesight all had a premonition that something big was going to happen, and they all quickened their pace to enter the city. They did not want to become the fish in the pond, and if they escaped again, it would be too late for regrets.
However, the most eye-catching person was not Yan Shiyi, but the four people who stood in a row behind him. They looked like guards.
These four people had very obvious characteristics. They were tall, short, fat, and thin.
On the left of Yan Shiyi were the tall and thin ones. The tallest one was probably more than nine feet tall, with a bloody mouth and a particularly large nose. The black hairs on his nostrils were clearly visible. He wore a gray sleeveless shirt that bared his chest, revealing the muscles on his upper body that were as sturdy as black rocks. His trousers could only wrap up to his calves, leaving his feet bare. He carried a huge stick on his back that looked like the bones of some kind of large wild beast. It was eerily white and especially terrifying.
Although the skinny one was seven feet tall, he was as thin as a bamboo pole. He wore a silver-white half-arm robe, and his bearing and appearance were very feminine. Especially his eyes, which were actually light yellow, like the eyes of a real snake. However, the strangest thing was that there was a shiny silver silk wrapped around his shoulders. It was impossible to tell what it was made of, but it was embroidered with pieces of snake scales. From afar, it looked like a silver python coiled around his body. It was indescribably strange and frightening.
On the right of Yan Shiyi were the short and fat ones. The short one was probably only about five feet tall, and his whole body was wrapped in black bandages, even his face was no exception. Only a pair of black eyeballs could be seen. On his back was a longbow that was almost as tall as he was. The body of the bow was black, with a metallic luster, and the string was silver-white, like a spider's silk. The quiver was filled to the brim.
The fat one was about six feet tall, with a round face and big ears. He was so bloated that he looked like a greedy silkworm. Even though he had not formed a cocoon, he was so bloated that even his neck could not be seen. He wore a blue and white shirt with a round collar, and his big belly was protruding out. His face was all smiles, and he looked exactly like a minister counselor. He held an abacus in his hand, and the most eye-catching thing was that the abacus was golden and heavy. One look and anyone could tell that it was made of pure gold.
"Listen to the sounds coming from here. I can smell the fragrance of countless copper coins and silver taels. I really want to hold them in my arms and enjoy their gentle comfort. — But why do they sound like babies crying? Don't they understand that even when doing business, they need to be gentlemanly? "The fat one said.
The thin one scolded, "Stinky Fortune Teller! Don't talk to me about your damned gentlemanly behavior. Last time you sold me a piece of lizard skin, and I still haven't settled the score with you! "
The fat one rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "That lizard is the pet of Qin Que Yue's concubine. Before that old pervert became the Emperor, he had already built a Hidden Spring Palace. Who knows how many beautiful women have been locked in there? Who knows how many times that big lizard has been used by that concubine. Now you've gotten lucky."
"Scram!" The thin one had a look of disgust, "Your words are as disgusting as your face. I swear that if I look at you again, I'll gouge out my own eyeballs to eat with wine."
"I recommend that you put the lizard's skin in and soak it together. It's all yin essence, and it's a good match for you." The fat one said with a smile.
The thin one said coldly, "You should really use your brain when you speak. Even if it's all paste inside, even if you can move a little, you should know that you're not responsible for your life."
"Aragami above, shut your bird mouths!" The demon carrying the beast bone said fiercely, "You quarrel all day long. My ears are filled with your sh * t. I'm about to die from the smell."
The short one snorted and said, "I believe that every Desolate Man has eaten sh * t before. You're the only exception!"
"What did you say!" The demon glared at him.
For some reason, the tall and the short did not get along, and the fat and the thin quarreled every day.
"Why are you guys here?" Yan Shiyi suddenly turned around and looked at them.
The four of them were as quiet as cicadas in winter. They shut their mouths tightly, afraid that if they opened them even a little, their tongues would no longer belong to them.
At this time, they had just arrived at the city gate. The five of them did not look like good people, so the guards did not dare to let them in. However, their eyesight was not good. When they saw them approaching, they immediately stopped them and shouted, "Under the emperor's feet, where did these 'immature' barbarians come from? Get lost quickly! "
"Kill them." Yan Shiyi said lazily.
"Your will is my will."
After the thin one finished speaking, the silver silk that was wrapped around his body stretched out like a poisonous snake. The shadow of the snake flashed, and the guards all fell to the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth. Their eyes rolled up and they were completely dead.
"Kill, kill!"
Panic spread in an instant. The guards on the city gate tower heard about it and ran down.
The group of five slowly entered the city. After entering the first city gate, there was a barbican. The people on the first gate tower were still on the stairs. Yan Shiyi shouted, "Bai Chuan."
"Yes!"
The short one took out the bow on his back and took out four arrows from the quiver. He nocked them together, pulled the bowstring, and let go. The four arrows pierced through the air and pierced deep into the second city wall in four different directions.
At this time, the archers on the two city towers were ready. A general shouted, "No matter who they are, if they dare to kill people in Yongling, shoot them all! Release! "
Ten thousand arrows were released at once.
Yan Shiyi's figure was like a ghost, floating up and using the four arrows nailed to the city wall to land, he jumped up the city tower in two or three steps.
The remaining four people followed closely behind. Before the arrows that filled the sky could reach them, they were inexplicably deflected or destroyed.
The four of them rushed up the city tower, like wolves entering a flock of sheep. Blood and limbs flew like rain. Their screams covered the noise of Yongling City, and the panic spread further.
Yan Shiyi stood on the highest beacon tower and looked down. An inexplicable chuckle spread out.
