Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 422 Twist
It's just that the moment when Jiang Tian completely disappeared in this time and space.In the distant port of Marseilles, a huge fleet also ushered in.Paulina, with the traces of the scorching sun and wind and sand in North Africa, stood on the bow of the ship facing the sea breeze; and a large group of dark-skinned soldiers walked down behind her.

And in a convoy to Lyon, on a specially reinforced carriage.Ms. Malena, who was wearing a royal blue embroidered dress and held a high bun; sitting opposite the silver-faced maid Liya in the velvet-decorated carriage, was talking and chatting kindly and gently;
In another carriage not far from her, the representative of the United Chamber of Commerce from the Port of Marseilles, in a curvaceous lace black dress, the blond-haired and blue-eyed Miss Flandre, was also looking through the official documents carefully over and over again. The ledger brought with him, but his thoughts had already flown to Lyon.

At the same time, near Fenglu Palace outside the capital of the kingdom, Seine.With the sound of horns one after another, groups of hounds yelled and roared, running through the lush forests; driving one after another of birds and beasts, disturbed and fled.

Then, surrounded and intimidated by the neighing and neighing encirclement and intimidation of the following Chinese-clothed flag bearers and horse-riding retinues, they forced him into an open area with no cover.Expose yourself to the capital's nobles and officials and their entourage, all dressed up and riding on poised galloping horses.

Then there was a mess of firecrackers and crossbows shooting out in sequence; every time a scurrying bird was hit and landed, there would be a palace band with a wig, powdered face, and long gown reaching the ground, blowing several times A short, brisk melody; prey is provoked and displayed by a mounted squire.

And when a larger prey is knocked down, these bands will play a piece of thick and majestic court dance music on the spot; After displaying it in front of everyone, it was set up in a temporary tent.

And on the edge of the hunting ground, on a tree house specially used for watching.A gray-haired priest wearing a purple and black robe and a gorgeous and exquisite long beard is also watching all this silently.Although his face is full of dimples, he can vaguely see the charm of the past with elegant temperament and beautiful appearance.

A pair of deep gray eyes are full of compassion, serenity, and piety that have been steeped in priesthood for many years; they are also like reefs in the sea that have survived the stormy waves and waves, as if there is nothing in this world that can impress him. , people can't help but be full of convincing and obedience.

It wasn't until a voice full of respect sounded that he, who was like a sculpture in the wind, slowly turned his head: "Honorable Lord Aramis, Princess Melona and Princess Debuel, have successfully recommended you as a member of the royal family. advisor, and has decided to be baptized accordingly."

"To be or not to be, that is the question." The black-robed gray-haired priest silently looked at the position representing the king's tent in the distance, and suddenly asked back: "Boris, my last student, what do you think about this matter?" watch?".

"May God be with you." Another young attendant in black beside him was a handsome young man who looked a bit like Paulina in Marseilles, but he bowed slightly without saying anything: "Since you It doesn't matter if you rescue me from the vortex of the royal family's secret bureau."

"What an unexpected and nostalgic answer..." Aramis, the black-robed gray-haired priest, sighed, "However, it is doomed to be impossible for us to search for the edge of the abyss and explore the existence of taboos for a long time. Enjoy the grace and glory of God again."

"But you must also remember. Fame, power, and wealth in this world are mostly false; they are only necessary springboards and stepping stones in the process of our pursuit of taboos and mysterious knowledge. Everything in the world has a price, but only There are mysteries that are priceless and never ending."

As soon as his words fell, suddenly there was a large uproar and exclamation in the royal hunting camp.Then the vast majority of people couldn't help looking up at the sky; because, under the clear sky and daylight, the outline of a huge transparent sphere occupied almost everyone's field of vision.

And on the outline of this transparent sphere, there are even forests, oceans, deserts, and even the existence of national territory; while Aramis, the gray-haired priest in black robe, is surrounded by a crowd of excited, pious and joyful people. Shout out:

"This is, the change of the celestial sphere?"

"It's actually a change in the celestial sphere?"

"After more than 500 years, the mystery that has gradually disappeared will return to the earth again?"

"Almighty Mithra is High, Almighty Mithra is Holy; Praise the Sun, Praise the Divine Virtue..."

——I am the dividing line of different time and space——

The warm wind is like smoke, and the green grass is everywhere; the mountains are like Daisy, and the river is rushing.Jiang Tian looked helplessly at the vaguely transparent body.Well, it seems that I have become some kind of spirit state again.It seems that the body that was formed as Rorschach before; was left in the time and space of that medieval kingdom.

The next moment, he saw the space-time anchor mark looming in the distance; it seems that this time the active transition has seriously deviated again.However, as the blurred form of Jiang Tian quickly drifted over a hill, the scenery and painting style in front of him suddenly changed again.

It was a battlefield full of corpses, broken knives and guns, flags planted randomly, and vehicles that were damaged here and there. The large and small formations formed were burning, or the black smoke from the embers was endless.And between these fortresses, there are people chasing and fighting endlessly.

However, after having the experience of fighting in another world; Jiang Tian has long been used to it or is used to it.So he just observed the flags representing their respective camps, while continuing to speed up towards the anchor point, speeding up.

When he drifted across a large river running obliquely from north to south, he immediately saw a rather magnificent city;In an instant, the corresponding name and information popped up in Jiang Tian's mind.

This is Liaodong City (now Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province), the original seat of the Anton Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty in the past; it is also the residence/city of the current head of the Liaodong princes and the Luo family.It's just that at the head of Liaodong City, where the outer walls are full of scars, the flying swallow flag of Haidong Office is flying.

On the contrary, in the joint venture under the city, there are banners decorated with different family logos and textures, such as "Luo", "Zhang", "South", and "Qi".Apparently, Xiao Yuanlian, who was in contact with him half a year ago, led the North Shanghai East Expeditionary Army, and was besieged here by local forces.

This also made Jiang Tian, ​​who was passing by temporarily using this world as a springboard, change his mind slightly.Immediately, he mentally contacted the little round face who was handling official business in Liaodong City; while she was inexplicably surprised, she also knew the cause and effect of the current situation.

As Haidong's office led the crusade northward, Little Round Face didn't intend to go deep into Liaodong at first.It is only planned to drive and force the Liaodong princes headed by Luo Shi through several victorious counter-offensives outside the country, and to compensate for this with a ceasefire and strike; since then, they have not dared to invade Haidong easily.

But I didn't expect that, as the head of the contemporary Liaodong vassals, the Luo family lord was extraordinarily tough and persistent.Not only did he ask for his son to join the Haidong government as the husband of the prison king, but he also threatened the tens of thousands of relatives of the ministers and ministries who had fled abroad.

Therefore, this battle has been fought intermittently for more than half a year when both sides are riding a tiger. However, the officials of the Luo family and the vassal army in Liaodong are not as tough as they verbally claim; The Battle of Ma'anshan and the Battle of Dashiqiao were all in the north.

Not only did tens of thousands of soldiers be lost, but even a dozen or so feudal clans along the coast, and even a few branch families and ministers of the Luo family had to surrender and submit to the banner of the Haidong army.Therefore, it also greatly encouraged the Haidong Army who followed the campaign; they claimed to attack the Luo family mansion.

In such an atmosphere of triumphant progress, even if Xiao Yuanlian is the head of the office, he has no way to completely rebel, and the whole army is in unison; instead, he can only collect more soldiers from the middle school And the husband's work, because of the replacement and supplement of those old and tired divisions.

Then, when the Luo family relied on the various walled cities to resist steadily, but continued to lose the city and land; in the end, the Haidong coalition forces also succeeded in killing the endless Changbai Mountains; It raged on the vast and fertile Liaodong Plain.

At this time, the long-awaited envoy for peace also came to the city of Liaodong with the Haidong Army soldiers;He expressed his willingness to cede land and pay compensation, and to make the contemporary feudal lord retire and abdicate.Originally, when the matter reached this stage, it was basically possible to accept it as soon as it was good.

But something happened unexpectedly again, as an important member of the Luo family, who was the envoy for peace, was assassinated on the way back from the camp.Then, the members of Luo Fan who stood firm in the city took advantage of this to share the same hatred with the enemy, and everyone on the top of the city made an oath to defend their homes and resolutely resist to the end;
Immediately afterwards, the Dafan Xue family from the west of Liaoning, who was also a member of the distant clan of the Haidong government office, also came to try to mediate the dispute between the two sides; and acted in a private and secret agreement, willing to conditionally intervene as a guarantee to ensure that after the two sides negotiated and retreated, So as not to be hunted down and repeated by each other.

However, this time it was the turn of the Haidong Army to quit; but Little Round Face still learned from the painful experience, citing that the country was waiting for prosperity and it was not appropriate to continue to use troops; the iron fist suppressed most voices to continue the war.However, at this juncture, another accident happened.

Someone in Liaodong City volunteered to act as an internal response and opened the city gate to welcome the Haidong Army; for some reason, they submitted a letter to the wrong camp.Some radical and restless generals decided to try it secretly; in the end, they really opened the gate of the northeast corner of Liaodong, but they were also caught in the siege of the city.

Little Round Face couldn't ignore this, and had no choice but to launch an offensive with all his strength, thinking of responding and rescue.As a result, after a brutal fight, they actually broke into the city of Liaodong; now things can't be helped.
