That night.
Throughout the territory of the Great Zhou, there were highways built everywhere, and soldiers were stationed at key points to guard against sneak attacks by enemy forces at any time.
Zhao Wu was such a soldier. He was a member of the garrison guarding the area within a hundred miles of Kyoto. His duty was to immediately light the sound transmission talisman to inform the front in case of an emergency. However, the Great Zhou was too powerful. For nearly ten years, no enemy army had been able to get within a hundred miles of Kyoto. Therefore, Zhao Wu's daily work was just to kill mosquitoes, play drinking games with his superiors, listen to the fat and frustrated guy's drunken remarks, and sigh about his lack of talent. Apart from that, Zhao Wu really had nothing to do.
Just before he arrived at the post, he had been playing drinking games with his boss, but he kept losing after playing for a long time, so his mental state was very bad - one eye was half closed, his body was leaning against a dirt wall, he smelled the fragrance of flowers blooming in the field beside him, and he was swaying a little.
"Zhao Wu! You're drunk again!" Qian Qi, who was taking over the shift with him, looked at Zhao Wu with dissatisfaction and said with a frown, "If something happens to you later, I'll see how you'll handle it!"
"What can happen?" Zhao Wuyi waved his hand. "There is no war anywhere now. I heard that a few days ago, the general invaded the Nanman territory and captured a large number of cities! Now, it is our turn to make great plans. How could there be any enemies here!"
"That's true... But, you and I are soldiers, and we have a duty to guard the country, so how can we take it lightly..."
“Go to hell… What, what is this!?” Before Zhao Wu could finish his words, he suddenly shrank back as if he had seen a ghost. Qian Qi was very puzzled, but when he turned around, he also showed an extremely terrified look…
They saw a blue light approaching from behind them. It was a dot of light at first, then a flash of light, becoming larger and brighter. In just a moment, the two experienced people came to a conclusion—it was a car!
It’s that precious one, with a crystal-like glow all over!
But... But...
“How could it be so fast!” Before the two could even exclaim, in just a split second, a stream of blue light flashed past them like lightning. At that moment, they felt as if time had slowed down…
They seemed to see it, but also seemed not to see it... In the dim light, they seemed to see a bunch of lightning lingering on a ferocious beast. The ferocious beast, with four feet on the ground, looked like a horse, but it seemed not very tall, and was much more majestic than a horse...
It was a car, with a handsome figure in it, who was it...
Just then, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Soon, the raindrops became heavier and the thunder became louder...
"Something happened! It's going to be a big disaster!" The two men were stunned. They didn't come to their senses until the raindrops fell. Realizing that something terrible had happened, they quickly lit up the sound transmission note to inform another stronghold ahead. However, the response they received was a hysterical roar!
"What are you doing? Why didn't you report it earlier? It's all over! That guy has already gone!"
“It’s over?” Upon hearing this, the two of them were stunned as if struck by lightning… It’s over? It’s over just now? Although these strongholds are not far apart, how many breaths have passed? How many breaths have passed!
At this speed, does the other party want to die? With this kind of attack... Is the other party's target Kyoto? !
Although Zhao Wu and Qian Qi were both small figures, they had been on guard duty for many years, so they were definitely "vigilant" - of course, when they recalled this incident several years later, they would want to slap themselves twice, and that was also what many people thought tonight...
At that moment, the two hurried to wake up their drunken boss, and then quickly reported to the more senior commander using a more advanced sound transmission note. However, no one expected... That blue light was so fast that it was beyond their imagination...
“Damn it!”
"Where does this blue light come from?"
"Enemy attack! Report to the superiors immediately!"
"Now where is that blue light?"
"I've already broken through three lines of defense. Damn it! I've also broken through the fourth line..."
"What did you say? How could it be so fast?!"
"Is there any way to stop it?"
“… No! It’s too fast, I can’t hit it! Uh… interception is useless, there are magic runes on the car for protection!”
"The speed of lightning! This is definitely borrowing the power of lightning! What kind of formula is that? Will the power increase greatly on a rainy night?"
"Our fifth line of defense has also been breached! Damn it! With such a strong impact, is this a tank?"
"What on earth does this man want to do? He drives into Kyoto alone? He's so brave!"
The front line of defense had no time to be deployed, and as soon as it was deployed, it was immediately trampled mercilessly! That person seemed to have no regard for them at all, running all the way, trampling all the way!
"Look! That's a thunder chariot, and the driver is... the Thunder Dragon Horse!"
"What? A thunder chariot? And a Thunder Dragon Horse with a trace of Thunder Dragon blood is driving it? Who is in the car?!"
"How ridiculous! What do you do for a living? You actually let someone drive a chariot to our capital city?"
After these words were spoken, a group of people fell silent. One of them shook his head and said, "It looks like he should have attacked by surprise... But what exactly does he want to do? He is only one man and one horse. Even if he kills him in Kyoto, what can he do? Does he want to destroy the capital of our Great Zhou with just one horse? That's too arrogant!"
Everyone nodded in agreement when this man spoke. Yes, conquering Kyoto alone sounds like an extremely legendary thing, but it is just a legend and will never become a reality.
You know, this is the capital of the most powerful empire in the vast land of China, the Great Zhou Dynasty! It is the most trusted city by all Zhou people! Since the founding of the Great Zhou, Kyoto has never been conquered by anyone or any force! Even in the original battle of the righteous, many evil sects were defeated under the city of Kyoto, with many casualties! So how could it be flattened by one man and one horse now
Not to mention, at this moment, the Imperial Guards, the Garrison Camp, and two of the four great armies of the four great garrisons were stationed around Kyoto, and none of them were deployed to fight outside, but were fully staffed and on standby! In case of an emergency, it would only take a short time to provide support... With such a lineup, no matter how strong that person was, he would only be defeated if he rushed to the capital!
Not to mention... the strongest man in the world, His Majesty Emperor Zhou, has not left the palace at this moment!
Therefore, this was a failed attack with all the disadvantages. Who was that person? What was he thinking
"... Oh, I can't figure it out, and I can't stop it..." Everyone here knew that although this time it was because the opponent was too fast and they were not prepared enough, but... when someone broke through dozens of defense lines on a single bike and approached the foot of Kyoto, they could not avoid the crime of negligence for not taking good care of the guards. For them, it was lucky to lose one or two ranks...
"But... who is this?"
The blue light was still speeding along, and as the raindrops grew bigger, it splashed water. The thundering sword light at the tip of the chariot caused thunder in the sky. It rushed forward recklessly, and anyone who stood in its way would be blown away. The so-called obstacles and defense lines were completely vulnerable in front of it!
Almost all the defense lines were broken down along the way!
Soon, the blue light traveled to a place only ten miles away from Kyoto... A majestic city was already in sight!
At this moment, all the bigwigs in Kyoto have received the news. Except for Emperor Zhou who was stunned and cursed Marquis Zi Yi, and then did not know whether to laugh or cry, the first reaction of most of them was... Impossible!
How many years has it been since the Great Zhou Dynasty was under siege? Although there was only one person and one car, who was this person? Who on earth was this person!
This question has echoed in countless people's minds countless times tonight. Although the people in the city were ignorant and there was no chaos, many of Kyoto's top geniuses knew about it, so... they took action!
This is a group of arrogant people. Now they really want to see who this person is who dares to rush to Kyoto alone. If they can fight him in the next battle and become famous, how satisfying it would be!
Luo Bingbai, the second son of the Luo family, Qin Di, the third son of the Qin family, Mu Donglin, the only son of the Mu family... one after another, the top geniuses who were usually elusive stepped onto the city wall under the protection of their family members. They looked at the blue light that seemed unstoppable, and a little fear grew in their hearts...
Too fast!
It’s really too fast!
Many people finally understood why so many barriers before Kyoto could not stop this person, and they sighed in their hearts—this person should not be underestimated! Running at such a speed, even the body of a Tongxuan realm expert would not be able to withstand it for a long time! But this person rushed all the way without stopping!
Just at this moment!
The blue light was rushing towards the city, and then it slowly slowed down. When it was close to the city, it actually stopped!
The top talents on the city wall all looked solemn, and many archers hid on the battlements, ready to attack at any time. But at the same time, everyone also saw the true face of the chariot...
This is a blue-purple chariot with an extremely sturdy appearance, full of mighty and masculine power. On the front of the car, a ferocious carving of a thunder beast seems to be roaring. In front of the car, a deep purple sword like thunder is pointed at its tip.
In addition, a ferocious thunder dragon horse was stepping impatiently. This king of third-level beasts, with each step, the people on the city felt a slight shake, not to mention the dancing beard at the corners of its mouth and the flashing arcs of electricity around its body... all of which explained how menacing its owner was!
At this moment, a figure stood up in the falling rain, holding up a dark brown wine jug in his hand, letting the raindrops fall across his cheeks...
Wine and rainwater, mixed in the wine jug.
With a rumble, the sky thundered, and countless lightning bolts came down like divine punishment, slashing down with overwhelming force, slicing a bright patch of night sky, and completely illuminating the handsome fair face of this man...
Chu Tianxiao raised his head slightly.
He stepped on the Thunder Dragon Horse, holding the wine jug high in the air without dropping it, and looked towards the majestic city in front of him...
The black city wall is extremely high and thick, as if nothing can break it. It seems endlessly vast and majestic like a silent giant, protecting the people and things in the city, and protecting... the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Chu Tianxiao faced all the stunned people with a faint smile on his face, like a tired bird returning to the forest.
"Kyoto..."
“We parted when we were young and returned when we were young. We are in our prime… We should do what we should do!”
A drop of rain fell from his forehead, and Chu Tianxiao's expression gradually became extremely resolute.
"It's finally here..."
"Those who want to see me or don't want to see me... finally, we will meet again."
"Yes, Kyoto..."
"My prodigal son is back to kill me again!"
