In the second year of Emperor Huai of Dongji, November 11.

The border of the Shu Kingdom, east of the Juelong Mountains.

A few days after Ao Xian took Zhai Wenli's military power, he directly transferred the military power of the Wind Tiger Cavalry to Han Zhao. When the military power was transferred, Zhai Wenli was drunk again, so Ao Xian was not hindered in the whole process. As a result, a general of the Mexican Kingdom successfully obtained the military power of the Xia State Wind Tiger Cavalry from the hands of the prince of the Xia Kingdom.

Ao Xian also successfully fulfilled his promise with Han Zhao, and asked Han Zhao to take these wind tiger riders and rush to Liuyun City to support. Many soldiers of the Wind Tiger Rider have a lot of complaints about this.

However, seeing that Han Zhao was holding the "Tiger Tiger" symbolizing the prince of the Xia Kingdom, as well as the talisman of the Wind Tiger Rider, coupled with the "entrustment" of the lord of the country, they had no choice but to obey.

Before leaving, Ao Xian personally saw off Han Zhao.

Ao Ye accompanied Ao Xin.

At this time, Han Zhao changed his previous indifferent attitude, and was full of indescribable gratitude for Ao Xian to keep his promise so much. Ao Xian didn't say anything, just said lightly to him: "We'll see you in Liuyun City." ”

Between the words, Ao Xian helped Han Zhao into his car, a black hanging tiger. This is the first time Han Zhao has ridden a tiger. When he came, all the Xia army basically used tigers as mounts, but he came on horseback.

"Be careful all the way. ”

These were the last words Ao Xian said to him.

Han Zhao said gratefully: "We will meet again in Liuyun City." ”

Ao Xin nodded silently.

Subsequently, this general from Mexico, with the army of Xia State, went to the wind and snow like this. In fact, these thousands of Wind Tiger Riders can't be changed at all. Ao Xian also understood this, so he just asked these wind tiger riders to follow Han Zhao back for the time being, and told the people of the world that the Xia Kingdom had decided to join the war and defend the north of Dongji with the Mo Kingdom.

No matter what Ao Xin wants to do next, he has to let more people know about this attitude first. With the sound of sonorous armor breaking through the wind and snow on the ground, it gradually faded away. Ao Ye on the side blew the "Xun" in his hand.

When he heard the melody played by this "Xun", Ao Xin's eyes gradually deepened. He watched Han Zhao and the others leave slowly, and stood silently in place and listened to Ao Ye's farewell melody.

For the first time, Ao Xin discovered that "Xun" could also blow such a tragic tone. In the past, Ao Xian had always wanted to find an opportunity to learn how to play this instrument with Ao Ye, but he had never had time.

I don't know how long it has passed.

When Han Zhao and the Wind Tiger Rider completely disappeared into the wind and snow, Ao Xian slowly asked Ao Ye: "Why do I feel a kind of tragedy from your melody and never returning." ”

The sound of "Xun" stopped abruptly.

Ao Ye sighed and said, "Brother thinks that this Mexican general with a thousand horsemen of the Wind Tiger can change the situation of the next battle." ”

Ao Xian affirmed: "No. ”

Aoye: "So, this melody is right. ”

"But, how do you know that I won't secretly send someone to follow them to Liuyun City?" As he spoke, Ao Xin's gaze fell on the ghost tiger riders who were in the distance. After seeing this scene, Ao Ye was puzzled: "Why didn't my brother let them set off with the general of the Mexican country just now." ”

Ao Xian smiled and said: "The ghost tiger horse has always only listened to me and my father's dispatch, and it is impossible for the general of the Mexican country to shout. Besides, can these ghost tiger riders keep up with the pace of the wind tiger riders?"

Ao Ye: "I can't catch up." ”

"And it will slow them down. The gains outweigh the losses. Ao Xian took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled, "These Wind Tiger Riders set off first not to change the battle situation in Liuyun City, to put it bluntly, just to convey an important message to the Thousand Thunder Country and the people of the world. ”

Ao Ye was curious: "What information." ”

"We have joined forces with Mexico. ”

When the words fell, Ao Xian turned around and walked towards the ghost tiger riders. Ao Ye hesitated for a moment, and then followed closely behind Ao Ye. At this time, Ao Ye accidentally found out. Shortly after Han Zhao left with the Wind Tiger Rider, the entire military camp seemed to move.

The soldiers began to walk out of their tents and pack their things. Everyone also put on their own swords and armors. In the wind and snow, I don't know who lit a fire. Everything that could not be taken away was thrown into the flames. It seems that everyone is planning to evacuate this place.

"Are we going to get out of here? ”

After some hesitation, Ao Ye still asked Ao Xian this question. Ao Xian didn't turn around, but said lightly: "What, can't you be reluctant." ”

"Not really. Ao Ye sighed, "I just don't know if I'm ready." ”

Ao Xian smiled and asked: "What are you ready, and it's not going to take you to the battlefield right away." Don't be so nervous. ”

Ao Ye looked at his brother suspiciously: "Since we are not going to the battlefield, where are we going?"

Ao Xian said: "The battlefield is definitely still going to go, but I know that you are definitely not ready now. So, we still have some time before we head to the real battlefield. I'll use that time to teach you some fighting techniques. ”

Ao Ye: "So my brother still didn't tell me where we were going next." ”

"You just want to know, where are we going next?" Ao Xian stopped and asked Ao Ye. Ao Ye was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "Did I ask a question that shouldn't be asked?"

"Not really. Ao Xian turned to look at the Juelong Mountain Range in the distance, "I just hope that you can guess what we're going to do next through your own judgment." After all, I can't be by your side forever. The situation on the battlefield is often changing rapidly. ”

Speaking of this, Ao Xian put his hand on Ao Ye's shoulder, "You have to learn to think independently, to judge, to survive on your own, and then become stronger." ”

As he spoke, Ao Xin's gaze turned to the blood-colored war tigers who were wearing armor, "Just like them, become the true rulers of this land." Don't retreat, don't let. ”

After a moment of silence, Ao Ye seemed to realize something, so he asked Ao Xian, "Is my brother planning to take the army to the Juelong Mountain Range?" ”

Hearing this, Ao Xian looked at his younger brother with interest and asked, "And then." ”

Ao Ye hesitated for a moment, and then guessed:

"Blockade the retreat of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country?"

Ao Xin asked: "How do I block it." ”

Ao Ye pondered: "Block the exit?"

Ao Xian smiled and shared with Ao Ye: "Later, there will be a blood tiger riding directly to the Juelong Mountain Range to block the retreat of the Thousand Thunder Country. You're not wrong at all. However, we are running out of time. So I'm going to split my arms into two ways. As for the rest, they will follow behind the General of the Mo Kingdom just now and go to Liuyun City together. ”

Ao Ye was puzzled: "Then which way should we follow?"

Ao Xian did not answer Ao Ye's question.

Ao Ye looked at Ao Xian in puzzlement.

At this time, I saw a soldier leading a blood-colored war tiger under the greeting of Ao Xin. Then, Ao Xian turned around and asked Ao Ye, "In the past few years since I left, have you learned to ride a tiger?"

Ao Ye hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.

"Wrong, now do you dare to ride a tiger?"

Ao Xian corrected with a smile, but this caused Ao Ye to retort: "Why don't you dare?!"

Ao Xian held his smile, turned to hand the reins to Ao Ye, and then said lightly: "Later, you follow the evil bones and go to Liuyun City together." There's still some time on the way, and I'll teach you all the important combat techniques when the time comes. However, before I can do that, I have to explain some trivial matters to the Blood Tigers who are heading to the Absolute Dragon Mountain Range. ”

Between the words, Ao Ye frowned, and suddenly remembered something, "General Zhai Wenli, who is still asleep now, what is my brother going to do with ......it?

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own arrangements. ”

Ao Xian smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal Ao Ye to show if he was really not afraid of these tigers. Ao Ye hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and took the reins from Ao Xin's hand. Unexpectedly, the tiger that was about to carry Ao Ye away also grinned at that moment, revealing its sharp fangs.

Seeing Ao Ye behind this scene, he didn't know if he was laughing at himself or showing hostility. But I saw Ao Xin gently caress the tiger's forehead, and then said to Ao Ye: "Be careful all the way." ”

Ao Ye was stunned for a moment, and then asked:

"Won't my brother come with us? ”

Ao Xian patted Ao Ye on the shoulder and did not answer his question. Then, Ao Xian turned his gaze to the flying snow in the distance. Looking at the depth in his brother's eyes, Ao Ye couldn't guess what his brother was thinking at the moment for a while.

......

At this time, Yaoguang City, the mansion of the city lord.

Lei Che looked at Qiu Yu in front of him puzzled, and said suspiciously: "It stands to reason that Xuanyi Wujian should be oriented to the clan of the Mo Kingdom, after all, after his brother Xuanyi Wuxuan became the head of the country, he was the head of the Xuanyi clan. ”

As a result, the clan at that time invited him to the imperial capital "Jingyue" at that time, and secretly exposed the Xuanyi clan's disobedience. Qiu Yu said lightly, "So, Xuanyi Wujian is gone, and since then he has been forcibly left by Emperor Xuan's side, and Emperor Xuan has been taken hostage, holding down Xuanyi Wuxuan, who will rebel." And the clan at that time also took advantage of the situation to the hands of those elders. ”

"But Xuanyi Wufu still rebelled. ”

"It's mainly forced by the emperor. Qiu Yu recalled, "Emperor Xuan Yi used Xuanyi's innocent life and death to coerce Xuanyi to enter Beijing alone and get together with Emperor Xuanyi." Xuanyi knew that there was a hidden killing attack in this, so he simply raised troops to coerce each other. ”

"At the end of the day, it's still these clans who are behind the scenes, right? Lei Che sighed, "It seems that every vassal state has some troublesome clans as a cancer. ”

Qiu Yu did not answer Lei Che's emotion, but continued: "Han Zhao, who killed his wife and clan at that time, did not kill all the children of the clan who harbored evil intentions due to time reasons. This also laid the groundwork for the later "Scourge of Blood Crows". The individual clan elders who were lucky enough to escape the Han Zhao massacre also came to take refuge soon after the establishment of the Mo Kingdom by the Moyi Cassia Dynasty. At the beginning, Moyi Cassia didn't know that some of these elders were actually the same people as the elders who indirectly led to the destruction of the Xuan Kingdom back then. And Han Zhao and Han Ming, because they were expelled from the family tree before, had no chance to meet these elders at all. ”

Lei Che: "But these people have seen it in their clothes. ”

Qiu Yu: "Yes, so this is the Scourge of the Blood Raven". From that day on, the clan of the Mexican Kingdom was completely overridden by the royal power. However, the truth of all this is actually that Xuanyi Wujian regained his dominance of the Mo clan and everything he lost through this secret "Blood Raven Scourge". ”

Lei Che: "In other words, he is still the head of the Xuanyi clan, and he is also the leader of the Mo clan, right?"

Qiu Yu: "To be precise, it is the head of the Xuanyi clan on the bright side, the only one." It is also the leader of the Mo clan secretly. ”

Lei Che: "Secretly?"

"Xuanyi Wujian doesn't want outsiders to know about his relationship with the country of Mo and the Moyi Cassia Ming. Although this matter has long been tacitly known to the world. However, given the performance of the Mexican State during the "Jingwei Pass Alliance", and the fact that Moyi Cassia never publicly admitted that he was actually a descendant of the Xuanyi clan, at this stage, Dongji's Fang Bo Liang Yi and the princes of various countries did not want to fight with the Mexican State because of these old things that were not related to them. ”

When Liang Yi was mentioned, Qiu Yu hesitated.

When she spoke, she didn't forget to observe the change in Lei Che's expression. She knew all kinds of grievances between Liang Yi and Lei Che, but at the moment, Lei Che's focus was not on Liang Yi, so she didn't care.

Lei Che said lightly: "For them, the current country of Mexico still has a lot of value that can be used. ”

"And Xuanyi Wujian doesn't want the past charges of 'rebellion' against Xuanguo to fall on the re-established Mexican State. Therefore, Xuanyi Wujian has always deliberately maintained a flickering relationship with Moyi Cassia Ming. "It's so unpredictable. ”

Lei Che: "In other words, after the 'Blood Crow Calamity', Xuanyi Wujian has regained his identity as the head of the Xuanyi clan and the identity of the sect leader of the Mo country, right?"

Qiu Yu nodded: "Yes, not only that, Xuanyi Wujian also settled in the Mexican country with the assassination organization "Ghost Fire" that he had cultivated earlier. ”

"Ghost fire?"

Lei Che looked at Qiu Yu in surprise, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

"Do you mean to say that the most terrifying killer organization in the whole world is in the territory of Mexico at this moment, and the founder behind it is actually Xuanyi Wuji?!"

Qiu Yu: "The lord of the country heard it right, yes. ”

Lei Che was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What is the connection between this matter and his becoming the sect master of the Mo Kingdom?" ”

"The elders of the Mo Kingdom Clan, some of them actually knew that Xuanyi Wujian secretly formed the "Ghost Fire", but there has been no definite evidence. It was precisely because he was worried that they would poke this matter out, so Xuanyi Wujian made the first move to let Han Ming solve them, so that he could logically let the "ghost fire" take root in the Mexican country, and further increase the deterrence of the Mexican clan, as well as his own influence in the Mexican country. ”

"It's really not simple. ”

Lei Che turned the wine glass in his hand and sighed.

After a moment of silence, Lei Che turned to ask Qiu Yu: "By the way, how did that Han Ming get the heavy sword from the hands of the Chiyan Warrior Commander, does Mr. know the details?"

Qiu Yu shook his head and sighed: "Actually, what I know is basically what Han Ming told me. The purpose of his doing this, the previous lord of the country also guessed, was actually to win me over and Qi shirts. However, when I asked about the details about the commander of the Chiyan Samurai Legion and how Han Ming got the heavy sword, Han Ming didn't tell me too much, just said "I don't remember" and said perfunctorily. At that time, we were strictly speaking captives of the Mexican Kingdom, so I didn't ask in detail. ”

Lei Che sighed: "What a pity. ”

Qiu Yu: "Not really, at least this heavy sword used by the commander of the Chiyan Samurai Legion has already reached the hands of the lord of the country at this moment. It's also a time to congratulate. ”

"But the sword is not in his hands. Lei Che said helplessly, "So even if this sword is in the hands of the widow, so what? ”

Qiu Yu smiled slightly and did not continue.

At this time, Qi Yi on the side coughed, signaling that it was not too early for Qiu Yu, and it was almost time for them to leave. Lost in thought, Lei Che did not pay attention to this detail. saw Qiu Yu raise the wine bottle to toast Lei Che, so Lei Che, who had already drifted away from his thoughts, also slowly withdrew his thoughts during this period.

......

In the courtyard of the Han family in the middle of the night, Su Xian was dressed in white clothes and blended in with the surrounding snow. Not far away, Jian Ying took out the mink fur from the house and put it on with her. Su Xian sighed and looked at the dark sky, and Jian Ying worried: "Why hasn't Mr. come back yet, will there be any accident in the City Lord's Mansion." ”

Jian Ying comforted: "I heard Qi Yi say that they are old acquaintances with the lord of this Thousand Thunder Country. So it shouldn't be a big problem. And with Qi shirts, no one can move the autumn sun. No one dared to touch her. ”

"You said, did she receive the letter I wrote to Han Mei a few days ago. Su Xian paused, and then said, "I don't know how she is doing in Bright Moon City now." ”

"Yun Ji will take good care of her. Jian Ying took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, "As for whether Han Mei has received your letter, we will know soon." ”

Su Xian turned around and said, "You say, can Yun Fan succeed in recovering Liuyun City? I heard that he only brought two thousand armor of Mingguang armor back to the kingdom of Shu. ”

"Have you forgotten those Chiyan warriors and the remnants of the Sabe?" Jian Ying stretched out his index finger and scratched the bridge of Suxian's nose. Su Xian smiled, "If you don't say it, I'll really forget." ”

Jian Ying smiled and said, "Whether Yun Fan will recover Liuyun City or not, I don't know. But as long as he dares to appear in Yaoguang City, I will definitely kill him with my own hands. ”

Between the words, Su Xian saw the murderous aura in Jian Ying's eyes, so he asked, "Is this what Han Bin meant, or is it your own plan." ”

"Both. ”

Jian Ying wrapped the mink fur that Su Xian was wearing, and turned to the killing intent in his eyes, revealing the tenderness in his eyes, "Let's go back to the house first, the night is getting colder, and it's freezing at this time, which is not necessarily a good thing." ”

Su Xian sighed, "Okay. ”
