A rooster crow woke Ye Cangcheng from his sleep. Early in the morning, on the way from the southern barracks to the general's mansion, a man was running on a horse. The clear sound of horse hooves revolved around the empty streets. The horse hooves trampled through the water on the ground, throwing out some mud.

"General!"

"Emperor Xia, have you arrived so early?"

King Yu had always gotten up early to practice swords in the school martial arts field. Before he could fully test a sword technique, he saw Xia Junmao hurried in.

"But for what happened last night?" King Yu had already received the news and learned about what happened last night, so he was not surprised by Xia Junmao's arrival. He put down his sword, took the face towel handed over by the entourage, wiped his face, and waved to Xia Junmao, "Come, come and talk slowly! Come and invite Mr. Mo!" After years of habit, whenever there is something wrong, King Yu never avoids Mo Chengfeng.

"General, this is the symbol that Song Mi draws based on what he saw last night!" Xia Junmao carefully took out a carefully folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to King Yu. King Yu took it and was a little confused when he saw it. It happened that Mo Chengfeng appeared at this time.

"Chengfeng, come and have a look." As he said that, King Yu handed the note to Mo Chengfeng. He took it and showed an incredible expression.

"What's wrong? Could it be that even Mr. Mo doesn't know?" Xia Junmao asked with some concern.

"It's not that I don't know, but seeing this symbol again really surprised me!" Mo Chengfeng put the note back on the table in front of King Yu, "General, Chengfeng, please see the person with this symbol pattern!"

"Shaoning!"

When Xuan Shaoning turned around, he saw Duan Lang and Shi Gong Zhengyuan immediately smiled, "Why are you two coming together?"

"Isn't this just a break? We decided to come and have a walk together. It's been several months since we entered the military camp and haven't been strolling around the city. Let's go today?" Duan Lang said loudly. Xuan Shaoning was still strange. When did Duan Lang become loud?

"Okay, let's go." Shi Gong Zhengyuan came over and pulled Xuan Shaoning, and then the three of them left the military camp and came to the road leading to the shop area on the west side.

"I just did it on purpose just now, just to let everyone know what you are doing." Until I walked far enough, Duan Lang suddenly lowered his voice and explained, "This is the solution that Zhengyuan came up with, after all, there are ears in the wall."

"By the way, what happened last night? Now the entire military camp is rumored that you were out of the city without authorization in violation of military discipline!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan asked solemnly.

"Let's talk while walking!" Xuan Shaoning pulled the two of them and began to walk aimlessly on the street, and at the same time told them everything that happened last night.

"You really killed someone?" Duan Lang was a little surprised just when he heard about it.

"It is also due to the situation. If I don't take action, I'm afraid I will die."

"This is not the point. Since we have entered the military camp, it will be a matter of time before we kill people. I heard that you have discovered strange symbols?" Shi Gong Zhengyuan came to the nail on the head.

"Yes, it's a twisted mark that resembles a scale. I've never seen it before, and I don't know what it means."

Shi Gong Zhengyuan was also confused when he painted in his palm.

"Okay, the general should have known this matter, so let's not worry about it. Leave the problem to those who need brain damage. After walking around for so long, I'm hungry. Let's go and have a meal!" Xuan Shaoning pulled the two into a nearby restaurant.

"Now?" King Yu knew that Mo Chengfeng would never say anything casually. As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the rosy house immediately became tense.

"Report to General, Master Mo, the corpses of those Xiliang soldiers were parked in the corpse-retaining place!"

"Since the corpse is here, let me listen to my explanation first. I only know that this is a mark of a shadow organization, the barbed dragon scale, named Negrosin, a killer group loyal to the Xiliang royal family. These people do not make money or name, but only regard the highest honor of completing the master's orders. They are a complete killing machine."

Mo Chengfeng looked at the paper with dragon scales again and continued in confusion: "The negative scale has existed for a long time. There were rumors in the world as early as Emperor Hui, but there have been no news in the past twenty years, as if it had disappeared out of thin air. Some people even rumored that the group had disappeared, but now this mark appears again, it seems that it is just a rumor."

"Mr. Mo knows how many people there are in this reverse scale, and who are they?" asked King Yu.

"It's unknown. These people act mysteriously, cold-blooded and ruthlessly, just as mysterious and unpredictable as the name of this organization. I once heard from Master that the Xiliang royal family selected children from all over the world to start cruel training from childhood. Every year, these people are allowed to kill each other. Only those who kill their opponents can survive until the next year to undergo a new round of tests. Until all children become adults and those who survive will become members of the organization. All I know is this, unless I go back to Qingshan Academy, I believe the Master knows more."

"What exactly is it? Let's take a closer look at the corpse before making a conclusion!" King Yu took off his practice clothes in front of the two of them, and the follower immediately presented the armor. King Yu ordered while changing his clothes: "Prepare the horse!"

On the way to the corpse-collecting place, King Yu asked Xia Junmao: "I heard that this time was Xuan Shaoning's head beaten?"

"Song Mi has informed the last general in detail about what happened last night. According to what he said, Xuan Shaoning was the first to discover the Xiliang army when he was in charge of defense."

"Junmao, you did the right thing. Military discipline must be strictly abide by. If there is any violation, no matter who you are, you must accept the military law! However... there is room for improvement in everything, especially if the division is famous, I feel at ease with you!"

Xia Junmao listened, his heart was bright and open, and he still looked humble on his face, without saying a word until he came to the place where he gathered his corpse.

The so-called corpse-retaining place is just a temporary straw shed. In July, the rainy season is continuous, the climate is hot, and the corpse is relatively fast. Therefore, the corpse-retaining place is specially selected on the shady side of the back, and the corpse is surrounded by large buckets of ice cubes. All of these ice cubes were made by King Yu's orders to condense water in the Luojia Mountain Cave behind Ye Cangcheng.

At this moment, there were six corpses flat in the corpse-retaining hut. From the clothes, they were obviously dressed in the Western Liang soldiers. Due to the ice-cold measures, these corpses had not yet emitted a strong corpse stinking. Song Mi was already waiting here.

"The last general meets General, Master Mo, and Commander Xia!"

"Which corpse is the one with the symbol?" Before King Yu could speak, Mo Chengfeng was the first to speak.

Song Mi shifted her gaze from King Yu's face to Mo Chengfeng, pointed to the corpse closest to him and said, "It's this one, right on his right neck."

Before King Yu could speak, Mo Chengfeng quickly walked to the corpse and broke its head to the other side with his hand. The corpse zombie had not completely dissipated, and it was still a bit difficult to turn the head. Mo Chengfeng couldn't wait to expose the neck of the corpse, but what he saw disappointed him.

"How?" King Yu noticed the change in Mo Chengfeng's face, and walked to his side and looked at the body, "Is it on the other side?"

Mo Chengfeng walked to the other side of the body, and then broke his head to the opposite side again, and the exposed neck still had no marks.

"How could this happen?" Xia Junmao was a little anxious. The mark was confirmed by him repeatedly last night. In order to distinguish, he specially placed the corpse away from the other five corpses. Song Mi was also confused. She saw it very clearly last night, but disappeared without a trace. How can I explain it to make the general believe it?

Mo Chengfeng checked all the bodies, but still found no mark on the paper.

"General..."

King Yu reached out to stop Xia Junmao, "I can trust you and Song Mi's character. You will never talk nonsense out of nothing, and that symbol is not something that can be made up by anybody."

"I also believe in Xia Duwei and Chief Song, but as far as I know, this symbol is tattooed on every member of the organization, and the rain cannot be washed away. What exactly makes it disappear out of thin air?"

"Take off all their clothes and check them out!"

Under the order of King Yu, more than a dozen soldiers stepped forward and pulled out all the corpses after several troubles. However, no matter how carefully Mo Chengfeng searched, he still couldn't find the symbol, and in the end he had to give up.

"Dispose all the bodies!" King Yu comforted: "No matter what is wrong with this, we will unravel it sooner or later. Since Xiliang has sent a killer organization!"

The distance between Ye Cangcheng extends to the north for a hundred miles is the boundary of Xiliang. After the rainy season, the grass grows more lush. Several streams wind in the green, with gurgling water and abundant water and grass, and herds of cattle and sheep.

Three hundred miles north of this grassland is the royal city of Xiliang - Wancheng. The huge difference between architectural style and beams is first reflected in the roof. Whether it is an ordinary family or an inner courtyard of the palace, the roof uses a round roof. According to the size of the house, the number of ridges ranges from three to nine. A very thin and long iron will be erected at the top. The houses of civilians are mostly cylindrical, with almost no more than three floors. The boundaries between one floor are obvious, and are rotated and connected by exposed wooden stairs. The windows of the house are mostly blocked by tents, and even the doors are replaced by two thick hanging curtains. The materials used by the people of Xiliang to build houses are mostly taken from pine wood in their own territory. The wealthy family will apply different colors of tung oil on the exterior surface of the house to decorate it; and the poor families will directly let the true color of the pine wood be exposed to everyone.

Walking on the street opposite Wancheng, the streets are not as wide as Daliang, and the ground is not built with bluestone but filled with sand and gravel. There are many large and intertwined streets. Most of the people who come here for the first time will get lost. However, the same as Daliang is that the street leading to the imperial city is very lively. The buildings on both sides of the street are modeled on the style of the Liang Dynasty, and are built tall and quite grand. Xiliang Imperial City does not use Daliang's favorite yellow and red, but chooses the national colors - purple and black, which gives people a bit of depression.

The Xiliang Imperial City building complex is arranged in a symmetrical triangle overall. The first sharp corner that stands out directly opposite the Imperial City Street is the Wenmo Palace, the main hall of the Xiliang Imperial City. The other two sharp corners in the north and south are the Tiantai and the Xiliang Harem.

The north-facing sharp corner area is built with the highest building in the imperial city, with thirty-three steps. Above the steps is a dome-shaped building with only one floor height, but this floor is comparable to the height of the three floors of the ordinary building. The entire building is supported by only six pillars that are difficult for one person to embrace. This is the sacrificial platform of the Xiliang royal family. Every year, the Emperor of Xiliang comes here to worship the heaven and pray for blessings.

There was nothing special about the sacrificial platform. The royal families of all countries were established, but in front of the sacrificial platform, a stone pillar that was twice as thick as those pillars was erected. The stone pillar was engraved with a nine-clawed golden dragon. The golden dragon was wrapped in extremely thick iron chains, and each claw of the golden dragon was locked by chains. Such a stone pillar was very inconsistent with the place where sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings, but the Emperor of Xiliang made such arrangements, which gave this place an extremely terrifying name - the Dragon Locking Platform.

At this moment, there was a man standing on the Dragon Locking Platform, with long hair that looked like ink and not tied, allowing him to fly in the wind; his eye sockets were sunken and his eyes were deep; his skin was dark and yellow, and his delicate facial features were like a knife carved, which looked very young; his figure was slender, and a purple robe with green eagle wings outlined a manly body, and a vivid desert wolf was embroidered on the front of the robe; this person was surrounded by a snow-white fox collar, and a belt composed of black obsidian and orange amber were wrapped around his waist, a black cloak with wings spreading eagle, and a pair of deer leather boots, looking very noble.

"How was the matter done?" The man suddenly asked, but there was no one around him, and he didn't know who was talking to.

"It's done" a man walked out behind the stone pillar wrapped in chains. He was wearing a black cloak from head to toe, making people unable to see his appearance at all. Judging from his voice, he should be a man.

"The father was too weak before, and he always showed mercy to Liang Guo." The noble man held his right hand with his left hand and could even see that the wrist of his right hand began to turn red. "Now I am not that kind, Liang Guo, this Dragon Locking Platform is your destiny!"

"It is certainly good that our lord Shanyu has ambitions, but things have to be done one by one." The man in black spoke without any haste or slow down.

The Chanyu was the honorific title of the northern nomads to his leader. This noble man was the new master of Xiliang Kingdom, the current Xiliang Kingdom. Zerolerong, who just snatched the throne from his father through a coup half a year ago. He was only twenty years old. Although he was young, he was heroic, ambitious, mysterious, ruthless, moody, and had the same party to attack different parties. Therefore, in just half a year, the Xiliang regime was smoothly transitioned to his own hands.

"I naturally understand this principle. To achieve the goal of unifying the world, it is crucial for those who can do things. I really don't understand what my father thought, but he actually imprisoned you for ten years!" Ze Luo Lirong turned around and faced the man in black. "But now Xiliang is mine, and the re-enabled is the one to re-activate it. There is a chance for you to show your skills in the future!"

"Thank you, Lord Shanyu. Ni Lin will definitely wait for His Majesty to send you!" The man in black bent down and seemed very obedient. "Six of the seven spies we sent were killed at Han Dao's hands. The only spy who came back was rewarded. Ni Lin's symbol had been discovered by the Xuanjia Army."

"Han Jian, it's Han Jian again! Over the years, we have not been able to step into the Central Plains, all because of the Xuan Jia Army!" Ze Luo Lirong said that the Xuan Jia Army suddenly became gritted teeth, as if it had a deep hatred for the sea of ​​blood, and only by killing the enemy with his hands could he wash it.

"Our Lord Shanyu calmed down. During the claustrophobia period, I had already thought of a plan to eradicate the Xuanjia Army, and I just waited for the order of His Majesty."
