Volume 2 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 118 The Humble Gentleman Qi Longxiang
Zhong Yebai desperately remembered the sword that Qi Longxiang descended from the sky.
I only remember that at that time, Qi Longxiang was dressed in white and fell to the ground like a white light, although Zhong Yebai couldn't see Qi Longxiang's whole face clearly, but it was just a glimpse, Zhong Yebai only felt that this Qi Longxiang really deserved the words "Gongzi Ruyu".
After landing, Qi Longxiang put his sword into the sheath, knelt in front of Su Musha, and pleaded for the three of them, although there were not many words, but every word was sonorous and powerful, and the words were chiseled, and the feelings were sincere, although Qi Longxiang fell from the sky to shock Zhong Yebai, Zhong Yebai also broke three ribs for this, but it was the desire to save people, and hearing Qi Longxiang's words, Zhong Yebai was also moved.
It's just that Zhong Yebai couldn't figure it out, obviously it was Qi Longxiang who was the most beneficial to Qi Longxiang when he died, why it was Qi Longxiang who prevented Su Musha from killing him.
What kind of person is Qi Longxiang?
Zhong Yebai had inquired about Qi Longxiang from Niu Si's mouth, when he had just set off from Qixian County, and he didn't know Qingluan and Ba Zehu.
In the mouth of Niu Si, there are six teeth under the throne of Chu, that is, one dragon, two tigers and three phoenixes, Qi Longxiang is a dragon, is a gentleman, the Warring States ten years of war, the two tigers have won the nickname of human slaughter, the reason is that these two tiger generals will capture a city, they will kill the defenders in the city, and sometimes even slaughter the people in the city with chickens and dogs, ten years of war, the Great Xuan Dynasty unified the north of the Taijiang River, but the soldiers and civilians who died under the iron hooves of the two tiger generals were no less than hundreds of thousands, so they got the title of this human slaughter.
As for a dragon Qi Longxiang, in the Warring States ten years of war is a clear stream, is simply a humble gentleman in the war years, the most commonly used siege method is to surrender without a fight, sometimes even at the risk of life, with their superb cultivation, in the middle of the night led a small force to infiltrate the enemy camp, directly beheaded the opponent's guards, so that when the army arrived, Qi Longxiang had already attacked the city.
Therefore, in every battle that Qi Longxiang fought, not only did the Xuanjia army under his command suffer very little loss, but even the opponent's army also suffered very little loss, and there was no remnant of the siege that was slaughtering the city, and after a battle, the one who was often the most seriously injured was Qi Longxiang as the commander.
Although Qi Longxiang was the most seriously injured in every battle, Qi Longxiang was able to attack the city in every battle, and the loss of soldiers was very small, therefore, the countries north of the Taijiang River even spread a nursery rhyme: "Thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes", the white robe mentioned here refers to Qi Yuanqing, and the Xuanjia Army under Qi Yuanqing has also become a special unit in the Xuanjia Army because it is wearing a white robe, known as the White Robe Army, until now, the White Robe Army is still wearing white armor.
It is precisely because of this that Zhong Yue, the supreme commander of the Xuanjia Army and the current King of Chu, said the sentence that has been widely spread by people all over the world, "Giving birth to a son should have a dragon and a son", and Qi Yuanqing, who was full of spirit in the ten years of war and made countless generals north of the Taijiang River frightened, was also given the name Qi Longxiang by Zhong Yue, the king of Chu, which means that the rumors in the market are all inherited from the king of Chu in the future, and it is likely that this righteous son Qi Longxiang, not Zhong Yebai, the only son of the king of Chu.
Of course, these are all what Zhong Yebai heard from Niu Si, within the high walls of the Chu Palace, what kind of person is Qi Longxiang?
This point is bound to be clearer than Niu Si in Qingluan and Ba Zehu, and in the mouths of Qingluan and Ba Zehu, Qi Longxiang is a different image.
In the eyes of Qingluan and Ba Zehu, Qi Longxiang is a humble gentleman on the surface, but in fact he has another mind.
It was precisely because Qi Longxiang had another thought that Qingluan and Ba Zehu did not dare to take Zhong Yebai to take the road back to Xuandu, but to go over the mountains and take the path.
Because in their opinion, if His Royal Highness wants to return to Xuandu City unharmed, the biggest danger comes from Qi Longxiang, followed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
"Why did he save me? Isn't it very good for him that Su Mu killed me?" Zhong Yebai thought for a long time, and asked Qingluan this question again.
Qingluan couldn't figure this out either, and replied, "Qingluan doesn't know why, it stands to reason that Su Mu killed His Royal Highness the Prince, and Qi Longxiang's benefit is the greatest." But he saved His Highness again, unless......"
Before Qingluan finished speaking, Ba Zehu, who was riding a big horse in front, took over and said, "Unless he knows that there is a greater danger waiting for His Highness ahead, and he is sure that His Highness will inevitably die in front, in this way, not only can His Royal Highness's death not be recorded on his head, but he can also make a big fuss about His Highness's death in the future!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yebai suddenly realized, "In other words, Qi Longxiang saved me so that I could die at the hands of the emperor, and because I died at the hands of the emperor, he can use my death to attack the emperor in the future, even if he seizes the throne in the future, there is a reason to say it, there is a reason!"
Speaking of this, cold sweat broke out on Zhong Yebai's back, this Qi Longxiang looks like a "son like jade", with a graceful demeanor, but in fact, his heart is gloomy, and he has a very good city, which is really a force to be reckoned with.
At this moment, Zhong Yebai suddenly remembered that the empty monk who planned for himself with his life, the empty monk had no last resort, and his strategy was definitely higher than Qi Longxiang's, if he had time to give advice to the monk at this time, he would definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster.
But death does not lead to resurrection...... Zhong Yebai hurriedly shook his head, Kongwei monk can plan for himself to this extent, and he plans for himself with his life, which is enough to be worthy of himself, how can he still have the face to beg others to trouble others?
Besides, as a man, how can he pin his hopes on others?
Do your own thing, this is the truth I learned in the previous kindergarten, how can I forget it at this time?
But what should I do next? Zhong Yebai asked Qingluan and Ba Zehu to gather in his car and planned again.
On the other side, an old man walked on a mountain path with a cane, and next to him, a young man in his thirties, dressed in white, walked silently beside the old man, holding a long sword in his hand, and the scabbard of the long sword was also white, which blended in with the young man's clothing.
At this time, if someone in the martial arts saw the sword, they would definitely be able to immediately recognize the identity of the young man holding the sword.
This sword is extremely thin, it is a woman's sword, named Bai Hong, the Warring States has been fighting for ten years, and how many generals have died under this sword before the war has started.
Thousands of troops avoided the white robe, and the owner of this sword was the commander of the white robe army, whose original name was Qi Yuanqing, and his name was Qi Longxiang at this time.
And the old man next to Qi Longxiang was none other than the old man who had just been blocked by Qi Longxiang's sword, Su Musha.
Su Musha is Qi Longxiang's master, and Su Mushao wants to kill Zhong Yebai, but also to pave the way for Qi Longxiang to successfully inherit the foundation of King Chu, but he never expected that his sword was blocked by his own apprentice with high hopes, so he was expressionless all the way, and he was very unhappy.
As for Qi Longxiang, he silently followed Su Musha's side all the way, following in the same direction, without exceeding the etiquette at all, but he did not explain a word of Fang Cai's behavior to his master Su Musha.
Finally, it was Su Musha who opened his mouth first, "Long Xiang, why do you want to block the sword of the master for that Zhong Yebai, and don't you explain it to the master?"
Qi Longxiang had a handsome face and a dashing demeanor, and he couldn't tell that he was over thirty years old, as if he was still twenty-four or five years old.
Hearing that Master Su Musha asked him, he didn't reply, just shook his head gently.
Su Musha frowned, "You really don't want to explain it to Master?"
Qi Longxiang smiled at Master's back, his smile was as gentle as jade, "Master's wisdom is much higher than that of his disciple, why does a disciple need to do this and explain it to Master?"
Su Musha shook his head, "You mean that the little emperor will do it when he kills Zhong Yebai?"
Qi Longxiang said with a smile, "The matter of killing His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is very important, it's not good to fake it to others, you still have to do it yourself to rest assured!
"If you don't kill him, how will you inherit the throne of the son?"
"If the little emperor kills him, I may not be able to become the son of the world, but if you kill him, the emperor will inevitably attack me. Although Emperor Tianqi is young, he is not stupid, he knows very well that Zhong Yebai will be the king of Chu in the future, and he will be less threatening than me to be the king of Chu. Therefore, if His Royal Highness the Prince dies at the hands of the master, I am afraid that the disciple will have to directly face the coercion of the little emperor for a period of time in the future!"
Su Musha stopped and turned to face Qi Longxiang.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid of the Emperor of the Apocalypse? What if there is a Zhang Xuanyi by his side, you know, you can lose, but you must not be afraid!" Su Musha's expression was serious, and he said solemnly.
Qi Longxiang hurriedly bowed deeply to Su Musha, and replied politely, "Master, the disciple naturally won't be afraid of a Zhang Xuanyi, and even if the Emperor of the Apocalypse wants to attack me, as long as Zhong Yue, the king of Chu, does not die, he will carry it for me." If you want to say fear, it can only be that the little emperor is afraid of me, Zhang Xuanyi is already in his old age, and he can't last many years. The king of Chu is foolish, and the millions of Xuanjia troops under his command still refuse to break the territory and seal the territory, which the little emperor is also clear about. And once Zhong Yue, the king of Chu, is dead, as long as I can inherit the foundation of the king of Chu, the position of the little emperor will be in jeopardy!"
Qi Longxiang's expression was not shocked, but he said something like thunder, "So, as long as Zhong Yebai's death has nothing to do with me, as long as the hearts of the Xuanjia Army are on my side, the future Great Xuan Dynasty may not have a surname!"
When Su Musha heard this, his cold face finally melted, revealing a smile that he had not seen for a long time.
"Yes, yes, worthy of being my good apprentice!"
Qi Longxiang continued, "There has been news from the palace that the little emperor is going to attack His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"The little emperor wants to kill Zhong Yebai?" Su Musha's expression returned to normal.
Qi Longxiang shook his head and looked into the distance with a smile, "The proton of the Great Xuan Dynasty, dying in the Liang Kingdom may be the best choice!
