Chapter 132: Furious, Leaning on the Railing
"hu~hu~"

The cold wind scraped against my face like a knife, bringing bursts of burning pain.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, it looks like a fairyland at first glance, making people fall in love with it unconsciously.

But if you move your eyes slightly to the side, your scalp will instantly feel tingling.

This is a towering cliff with steep and exposed rock walls on both sides.

At first glance, it looked like a huge handleless axe had hit the ground directly.

If you look closely, you can find that although this extremely steep cliff has no vegetation, it reveals a unique breath from time to time.

From a distance, it looks like a dragon's spine lying on the boundless earth.

"Ang~ang~"

Walking and strolling on the cliff, everyone will unconsciously marvel at the magic of nature.

But at this moment, dull roars suddenly came from inside the cliff.

The entire cliff was shaking slightly.

The already terrifyingly steep cliffs became even more dangerous in an instant.

"This is……"

Nangong Pushe's pupils shrank.

This time when he went up the mountain, Gao Changsheng did not bring the Eighteen Riders with him, but instead asked them to stay at the foot of the mountain with Li Yuanba.

So there were only three people standing on the cliff at this time.

Gao Changsheng standing with his hands behind his back, Xie Guanying whose face was still pale but who had barely regained the ability to move, and Nangong Pushe.

Hearing the faint sound coming from deep in the cliff, Nangong Pushe instantly realized something.

In fact, she had already guessed it when the two of them mentioned the name of Locking Dragon Cliff.

But in the end, I didn't dare to confirm it. After all, that kind of existence has long been a legend.

But the sound heard in my ears at this moment was clearly the roar of a real dragon.

A terrible and crazy guess involuntarily emerged in Nangong Pushe's mind. Could it be that there was really a real dragon locked in this Dragon Locking Cliff?
"This, is this a dragon?"

"Yes, but not in the way you think."

Xie Guanying spoke, his voice still sounding a little weak.

But at this moment, he sounded somewhat elegant. Perhaps all his temper had been completely defeated by Gao Changsheng, or perhaps his life was now in the hands of others, and he no longer dared to show the slightest bit of arrogance.

"A true dragon is a creature from heaven. How could it be so easy to find its trace? Maybe it exists in this world, maybe it doesn't. No one knows."

Xie Guanying seemed to see what Nangong Pushe was thinking and began to explain.

Nangong Pushe snorted lightly, but did not get angry. Although there was confusion in her eyes, she did not ask any more questions.

It was obvious that no matter how curious I was, she was unwilling to ask Xie Guanying.

In fact, it took a lot of willpower for her to be able to resist taking action.

“It’s luck.”

Gao Changsheng suddenly said softly.

"Yes, it's luck." Xie Guanying said with a smile.

"Although it is difficult to find a true dragon in this world, strictly speaking, it is not that there are no real dragons in the world. It's just that they are not physical entities, but manifestations of destiny."

"Just like the national destiny of every country, basically the true dragon state will appear."

"It's just that there are differences in the strong and weak forms."

"Like the Northern Mang national destiny, although it is powerful, it has not transformed into a real dragon, but is in the form of a flood dragon. Over the years, the Northern Mang has been doing its best to cultivate the dragon of destiny in the hibernation tank in order to replenish the national destiny."

"The same is true for Liyang. Although its national destiny has long been a dragon, it actually only has three claws. Zhao Huangchao fished for turtles and raised dragons in Difei Mountain for the same purpose. However, that black dragon is too ferocious. Even if they merge, it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse."

"And the Song Dynasty. During the Jingkang Rebellion, half of the country was lost, and the country's fortune was cut short. Now it only has one claw left. It was almost like a dragon turning into a damselfish. However, they did not do this dragon-raising thing. Instead, they relied on the fortune of the three religions, especially the fortune of Confucianism and Taoism, to make up for the weakness of the country's fortune."

"I think among all the nine continents, only the Mongol Yuan Dynasty has the destiny of a heavenly wolf, not a dragon."

Xie Guanying spoke softly, and then looked towards the Dragon Locking Cliff in front of him.

"This location was discovered by the old Taoist priest by accident many years ago."

"There have never been any dragons in Yizhou. This is why the Western Shu Kingdom did not have a strong national destiny. Of course, it was also due to the chaos in their national system, but their inherent deficiencies also had some influence."

"But after traveling all over Shu, I discovered that there are dragons in Western Shu, but dragons are being conceived."

"It's just that it doesn't exist in the form of a dragon vein, but a dragon of destiny that has not yet taken shape."

Xie Guanying looked up at Gao Changsheng and found that he did not show any expression, so he continued:

"This is an extremely incredible thing. I have read through historical materials and explored many folk rumors in Shu before I learned some fragments."

"It is said that in ancient times, a dragon was beheaded and its body was scattered. One of the dragon balls fell on this Dragon Locking Cliff."

"After many years, the dragon ball reappeared and became this dragon of destiny."

After Xie Guanying exhaled, he said excitedly

Gao Changsheng also raised his eyebrows slightly.

And Xie Guanying's voice continued:

"After I discovered this place, I felt like I had found a treasure. Over the years, I have been feeding it with various dragon species and exotic beasts, and even ownerless luck, just to feed this dragon."

"Hahaha……"

Having said this, Xie Guanying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"As far as I know, there are three places that raise dragons in the Beimang land of Liyang. The Jiaolong in the Beimang hibernation tank and the black dragon in the Lung Mountain of Zhao Huangchao. The Jiaolong is powerful and the black dragon is fierce, but I dare say that in terms of pure supernatural power, neither of them can compare to this one of mine."

"As long as it is fully formed, it can be extracted at any time. Whether it is to integrate it into the national destiny or to use it as a basis to manifest the national destiny, it is the best choice."

"Wonderful, it's really indescribable."

When he was excited, Xie Guanying couldn't help but show a proud expression.

"Really? But this dragon is no longer yours now." Unable to bear the other party's attitude, Nangong Pushe couldn't help but snorted coldly.

In an instant, it was like a bucket of ice water was poured directly on Xie Guanying's head.

Only then did he react suddenly.

Yes, this dragon no longer belongs to him now.

A stabbing pain instantly spread from the heart.

He was not lying just now. Ever since he discovered this dragon, he has put all his energy into it. For it, he even ran back and forth in the deep mountains and forests just to collect nutrients.

Ten years, fifteen years, or twenty years.

Even he couldn't remember it clearly.

Countless time and energy have now gone to waste.

How could Xie Guanying not feel distressed?

But he didn't dare to say a word of displeasure. After all, not only was the dragon taken away, but his life was also in the hands of the other party.

"How long will it take for this dragon to fully take shape?"

Gao Changsheng spoke softly, but the two people next to him didn't notice that a hint of disappointment suddenly flashed between his eyes.

No one knew what he was disappointed about.

Hearing Gao Changsheng's question, Xie Guanying naturally did not dare to delay and spoke quickly:
"I have been nurturing this dragon for many years, and its form is close to 90%."

"Based on my experience, it will take at most two years, or at least a year or so, for this dragon to manifest."

"One year, two years?"

Gao Changsheng whispered to himself.

He originally thought that the dragon had been completely formed, and that it was only one step away from completion. Unexpectedly, it was still only a semi-finished product.

But one or two years is not a long time.

Thinking of this, Gao Changsheng suddenly turned his head and cast a sharp gaze directly at Xie Guanying.

Xie Guanying was so frightened that he almost fell to his knees.

He said in a panic: "General, I have been raising dragons for many years, and I know the process and methods involved very well."

"Keeping me here will definitely be useful to you, General. Please rest assured, I will do my best to raise this dragon for you in the future, and will never delay any important matters for you."

In Xie Guanying's eyes, Gao Changsheng must have had some idea in mind when he came to find this dragon of destiny.

After all, the other party has now occupied such a large territory, and any normal person would have some ideas.

Gao Changsheng didn't pay attention to Xie Guanying's thoughts, but narrowed his eyes and considered what the other party said.

Just when Gao Changsheng and his party were on the Dragon Locking Cliff, watching the Dragon of Fortune.

Somewhere on the continent, a shocking war is taking place.

The scorching sun continued to shine down, but it could not bring the slightest warmth to the earth below.

The sky is shaking and the earth is trembling.

The boundless sky, at this moment, was like a piece of blue paper, which was suddenly impacted and swayed violently back and forth.

In front of the huge city, densely packed soldiers were roaring in like a tide.

Below them, the originally flat ground seemed to be squeezed and kept rising from the middle.

From a distance, it looked like there was an enormous earth dragon beneath the ground, slowly rising up at this moment.

Soon, the siege soldiers who had originally only been able to look up rose to the same height as the city ahead.

"Ow! Ow!"

Countless soldiers howled and rushed madly towards the city ahead.

In just a moment, countless soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall, and many even hung directly on the wall.

But this is the time.

A dazzling light suddenly burst out above the city.

The entire city suddenly began to shake, and the originally towering city wall suddenly began to crack from the middle, as if a huge beast suddenly opened its mouth.

Endless murderous intent erupted in an instant, and the soldiers hanging on the wall, or even those who had just approached the city wall, were instantly swallowed up.

A violent wave began to emanate from the city wall.

It was like a horrible bomb suddenly exploded in the center of the city, forming a pervasive shock wave.

The originally high earth slope was instantly shattered, and the soldiers on it fell down one after another, emitting terrifying screams.

"Okay, okay. People in the Central Plains have a saying that goes, 'When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes.' Now it can be used to describe you."

A powerful voice came out slowly.

But to everyone's ears, it sounded like a wolf howling.

The shaking of the city in the distance continued, but no one responded.

The person who spoke did not care and just laughed loudly:
"What? Now that the Khan has come, you are not going to show up to meet him, Guo Jing!"

It was still the howl of a wolf.

The voice also indicated the location of the place and the identity of the person speaking.

Xiangyang of the Song Dynasty, Temujin the Gray Wolf.

"Guo Jing meets the Khan!"

A deep and resolute voice was heard, and a burly man with a simple and serious face appeared on the city wall.

"Guo Jing, we finally meet again?" Temujin's eyes gleamed.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Your Majesty is still as elegant as ever." Guo Jing bowed.

Temujin smiled and said, "Well, I thought you would avoid me. You are willing to show up. Very good, very good. I am really happy."

Guo Jing waved his hand and said, "Guo Jing died in childhood and was stranded in the desert with my mother. Thanks to the Khan for taking care of me, I will never forget this kindness."

"Including Master Zhebie's teachings and Torreanda's friendship."

Guo Jing spoke slowly, but changed his tone the next second: "But Guo Jing has never forgotten the hatreds inflicted by the Khan, forcing his mother to death, imprisoning Guo Jing, and now there is another national hatred."

Hearing this, Temujin was not angry, but instead showed admiration:

"Well, you must remember the kindness, and you must remember the hatred even more. You should repay kindness and revenge. This is what a real man should do. You are worthy of being the most respected prince consort of this Khan."

Guo Jing did not answer, and Temujin did not care either. Instead, he sighed quietly:
"Come to think of it, before Zhebie and Torre died, they were thinking about you."

Hearing this, Guo Jing couldn't help but shudder: "It's me who has dragged down Master Zhebie. As for Anda Tore, the hatred between the country and the family lies ahead. The friendship between Anda can only be continued in the next life."

"Hahaha……"

Temujin laughed wildly towards the sky, shaking the surrounding space.

"Very good. However, since I am here in person today, you should know what the outcome will be. Are you prepared to rely on the city defense formation to resist?"

Temujin glanced over and smiled slightly: "It's a good formation, and you can actually match it with the city, which is really good."

“But Guo Jing is just repeating what our predecessors have left behind.” Guo Jing said modestly.

"Interesting. Judging from the time this formation has been there, it must have been quite a few years."

"Could it be that during the Northern Song Dynasty, someone had anticipated that Xiangyang would become a border battlefield in the future, and built this city and carved a large formation?"

"Interesting, really interesting. There are so many strange people and things in the Central Plains. Haha."

Guo Jing responded loudly: "The Central Plains is blessed with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, which is naturally far beyond the Great Wall."

"If the Khan retreats at this point, it would be a meaningless sacrifice. Moreover, the Mongols are now the overlord of one side, with a vast territory. Why should the Khan continue to cause disputes and bring disaster to the people?"

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for many years, Guo Jing, you are still so pedantic and ridiculous."

"The Nine Continents are in chaos. There is no such thing as benevolence, righteousness, and morality. Only the strong will always be strong. Common people and all living beings are nothing but pawns that can be manipulated at will in the hands of those in power." Temujin snorted coldly.

Guo Jing shook his head and closed his mouth.

And Temujin's voice continued.

"If you think that you can stop Ben Khan with just these, then you are too naive."

"The formation is built in harmony with the terrain, and it should also be supported by the country's destiny, so that it can exert its greatest power."

"It's a pity that the fate of the Song Dynasty has not changed at all. Obviously, your emperor who lives in the palace has become an ostrich."

"Without the support of national destiny, relying solely on the city wall formation is nothing more than a deadly formation. How can it stop the Khan's army?"

Guo Jing still didn't say anything, but a look of sadness appeared on his face. It was obvious that what Temujin said was true.

"Guo Jing, with this court like this, why should you continue to work for them? Surrender to me, and I can guarantee that you will still be my most respected consort, second only to the emperor, and above everyone else." Temujin threw away his self-proclaimed title, and it was obvious that he was really sincere this time.

Guo Jing shook his head resolutely, a fierce aura rising from his body.

Seeing this scene, anger appeared on Temujin's face and murderous intent flashed in his body.

"In that case, I cannot blame you Khan. Where are your soldiers? Why don't you send them out?"

"I would like to see what the wing of the army you took away has become after you trained it?" Temujin snorted coldly.

Guo Jing shook his head: "Guo Jing didn't want to take other people's things, but the Khan's ambition was already obvious, so Guo Jing had to resort to this strategy. Moreover, Li Yuan was really dangerous back then. Without the help of soldiers and horses, Guo Jing would have had a hard time succeeding."

"Haha, you're capable of breaking one of my Khan's thirteen wings." Temujin shook his head coldly.

"How about this, Guo Jing? I will make one more condition. As long as you hand over that wing of troops, I will let Xiangyang go today and withdraw my troops."

Hearing this, Guo Jing didn't even bat an eyelid.

"Khan, Guo Jing is no longer the fool he was before. Even if he survives today, there is still tomorrow. Such a promise is simply a joke."

"Moreover, the Great Khan's Thirteen Wings have their own special inheritance, especially the seeds of soldiers. Without the inheritance and seeds, even the Great Khan cannot restore the lost wing of the army."

"No matter how much the Khan says, Guo Jing will never hand them over."

“Once the Thirteen Wings return to their positions and unite to form a great formation, the bloody path of the Khan will become even more difficult to stop.”

"If the Khan wants to attack, then go ahead and attack. Guo Jing can defend it if he can, but if he can't, Xiangyang will be destroyed along with it. Of course, we also have the King's Thirteen Golden Wings." Guo Jing's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable determination.

"well!"

Temujin laughed in anger: "I never thought that the silly boy would grow up to be so perfect."

"But I want to see, you don't even show your golden wings, what are you going to use to stop my Mongolian army? Are you going to rely on those weak Song soldiers? Ridiculous!"

Guo Jing shook his head: "Great Khan, this is wrong. The history of our Song Dynasty is also full of heroic and powerful soldiers who are worthy of praise and tears."

"Guo Jing has spent more than ten years of hard work and has made some initial achievements. Now it is a good opportunity for me to ask the Khan to test his military power."

"Oh?" After these words were spoken, even Temujin couldn't help but show a strange look.

At this moment, a series of sonorous and murderous voices suddenly rang out, and then became louder and louder, shaking the entire world in an instant.

"Furious, leaning on the railing, resting in the rain..."

Almost everyone was shocked at the same time. Even Temujin's pupils shrank and he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Back! Wei!"
