Zhang Han, Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, and the members of the embassy returned to the wing room in the Xilian Palace to discuss how to find the lost Lian Shibi and the missing Xilian King.
Li Maicheng paced in the wing room and said, "Master, we have lost Lian Shibi now, which is a big trouble. We had to snatch it from the fox demon. ”
Zhang Han envoy said: "Maicheng, you should take your juniors and disciples to find the fox demon now, take back the Lian clan, and rescue the king of Xilian, so that it will be beneficial to the friendship between our Han and Xilian in the future." ”
Li Maicheng then said: "Obey, Master, I will take a few junior brothers to do it, you and Ganfu, as well as the soldiers of the mission, are here to recuperate, waiting for our good news." ”
Zhang Han said, "Okay, you have to be more careful. ”
Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, the koi monster and the giant ape monster took their weapons and walked out of the wing room to the palace.
As he walked, suddenly there was a sound of fighting in front of him, and there was chaos in front of him, and the soldiers in the palace were fighting each other.
At this time, General Liu of Xilian Kingdom came up with deserters, he took Li Maicheng's hand and said: "Brother Han envoy, help us, the big thing is not good, Wei Chengxiang of Xilian State sent troops to rebel and attack the palace, save us quickly." ”
Li Maicheng replied casually: "General Liu, you quickly hide behind us, and we will help you fight a bloody way." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, Song Xun'er, and Zhou Fangyu slashed and killed a large number of soldiers who attacked with weapons.
They fought and cut down one soldier after another, and General Liu also led the soldiers to slash and break through, at this time, a large number of shield soldiers surrounded with broadswords, and Prime Minister Wei also surrounded with several generals.
Prime Minister Wei shouted: "The bold thief, Liu Yide, has not put down his weapons and begged for mercy, but he dares to collude with the Han delegation and confuse our Xilian country." ”
General Lewis replied angrily: "Wei Zhimou, as the prime minister of Xilian State, you openly rebelled and sent a large army to attack the palace, what is your intention? ”
Prime Minister Wei shouted: "General Liu, don't quibble, accept the reality, King Xilian estimates that he has already been killed by the fox demon, you better kneel and surrender." ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he pulled the corner of General Liu's clothes and said, "General Liu, let me speak." ”
General Liu casually let go of the anger in his heart and nodded.
Li Maicheng continued: "Prime Minister Wei, the whereabouts of King Xilian have not been found yet, you are openly rebelling, I'm afraid you have to pass our pass, junior disciples, prepare." ”
As soon as the words fell, the koi monster and the giant ape monster quickly transformed, and when Wei Chengxiang and the other soldiers saw a huge koi and a snow-capped giant ape appear in this palace, they immediately panicked. Prime Minister Wei shouted: "Archers, prepare, kill these monsters." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, General Liu and Wei Chengxiang's men and horses fought together, killing the sky was dark, a large number of flying arrows flew towards Li Maicheng them, General Liu's soldiers fell one by one, Li Maicheng brandished a horse lance to block the flying arrows, they were fighting, suddenly a large black fog rose over the palace, I saw that the king of Xilian sat on the golden dragon chair in the sky, and shouted: "Okay, you are a chaotic minister and thief, you actually openly rebelled." ”
After speaking, King Na Xilian suddenly transformed into a fox demon and said with a wicked smile: "Li Maicheng, come and arrest me, Lian Shibi is here." ”
When Li Maicheng heard this, he stopped fighting with the soldiers who rebelled against Wei Cheng, and quickly flew up and flew into the air to chase the fox demon in the black mist, while Zhou Xiaotian and the koi monster also quickly flew up to chase.
The giant ape monster stayed in the palace and continued to follow General Liu and their soldiers with Wei Chengxiang, and Zhang Han's envoy also brought the people of the mission to help when he saw the great changes in the palace.
Li Maicheng followed the fox demon behind him, followed by him, flying over the peaks and fields, while Zhou Xiaotian and the koi monster followed behind.
chased and chased, and then the fox demon stopped at Mochizuki Ridge and disappeared.
Li Maicheng looked around while flying, but he didn't find any trace of the fox demon, he stopped halfway up the mountainside of the Moon Ridge, panted, took out water and drank it, and then picked up the horse lance and smashed the land, and suddenly jumped out from under the land.
The white-haired father-in-law stroked his beard and said, "Dare to ask the hero, what are your orders?"
Li Maicheng said: "Father-in-law of the land, do you know that there are fox demons in this Moon Ridge to stir up trouble. ”
The father-in-law of the land thought for a while and then whispered: "Strong man, there is a cave on the mountainside of Wangyueling, and from the mouth of the cave, you will enter a paradise, where there are many pavilions, and there are many fox demons, they transform into human forms and live a paradise life. ”
Li Maicheng replied casually: "Thank you father-in-law of the land, so that's the case." Then it won't bother you. ”
Then Li Maicheng flew to the entrance of the cave on the mountainside, and at this time Zhou Xiaotian and the koi monster came.
They stopped at the entrance of the cave, and Zhou Xiaotian said: "Senior brother, it turns out that the fox demon is hiding in this fox cave, and let me take the lead and let me go down to find out the truth." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Xiaotian, and slowly, I'm afraid it's more complicated than you think, I just inquired about the father-in-law of the land, and said that if you walk a mile in this cave, you will enter a paradise, where there will be a place where the fox demon lives." ”
Zhou Xiaotian heard this and said, "Maicheng, is what you said true? Then the three of us, can we beat that large number of fox demons?"
Mai Cheng said: "Xiaotian, koi, I'm afraid we have to spend the night in this fox demon land tonight, there are so many fox demons here, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with." Let's go into this paradise first to find out, and then let's do it. ”
Xiao Tian said, "Okay, senior brother, then let's go down the cave and move forward." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, and the koi monster walked along the dark hole, walking and walking, and from time to time some bats flew out, Li Maicheng used a spell to ignite the short sword, illuminating and leading the junior disciples, walking forward, walking and walking, and there was a light in front of him.
Li Maicheng saw the light and said: "Xiaotian, koi, cheer up, we are about to enter that paradise, speed up our pace." ”
They quickened their pace, and walked in front of the light, and walked and walked, and came to the hole in front of them.
Li Maicheng poked his head out and looked ahead, only to see a peach blossom in front of him, stretching all over the mountain, all over the city, only to see that there was a large pavilion under the mountain, the smoke curling, it was simply a painting-like beauty, and the towering snow-capped mountains could be seen in the distance, and the snow on the top of the mountain was so white.
Zhou Xiaotian saw this and said: "Senior brother, this place is so beautiful, it's different from what I thought, I thought that this fox demon land should be a charming, eerie and terrifying place, but this place is simply a paradise, and it is not an illusion in front of me." ”
Li Maicheng raised his head and looked at it carefully, and said casually: "Xiaotian, I'm afraid the beautiful scenery in front of me is not an illusion, this is true, we will quietly enter here in a while, find a family first, live first, don't startle the snake." ”
Xiao Tiansui said, "Okay, senior brother, then let's go." ”
Then the three of them gently entered this peach blossom source, walking and walking, and suddenly under the peach blossom tree in front of them, a woman in white was picking up peach petals.
Li Maicheng stepped forward and asked, "Female donor, dare to ask where this is? ”
The woman in white stopped picking up peach petals, and when she turned around, she saw that the woman in white had clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and was graceful. She replied casually: "Brother, you should be outsiders, this is the Mocheng of Xilian Kingdom." ”
Zhou Xiaotian heard that this was the land of Xilian Kingdom and said: "Little sister, do you know that there is a fox demon here?" We are here to catch the fox demon, the king of Xilian was captured by the fox demon, we are the Han envoy to the countries of the Western Regions, and our Lian clan was also snatched away by the fox demon. ”
The woman replied casually: "Fox demon, I haven't heard of it, you mean that King Xilian was captured by the fox demon, when did it happen, although I am just a small commoner, but such a big thing, the little woman will definitely help and serve her family and country." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Dare to ask the little woman's name?"
The woman looked at Li Maicheng and replied, "Brother, the little girl's name is Bai Ruoxue, you can call me Xiaoxue." ”
Li Maicheng replied casually: "You just live around here, can we spend the night tonight, by the way, you are collecting petals to make wine now." ”
Bai Ruoxue replied casually: "Yes, brother." ”
Li Maicheng replied casually: "Xiaoxue, don't call me brother, my name is Li Maicheng, I am a cultivator, let me help you collect these petals." ”
Then Li Maicheng began to cast a spell, and suddenly a large number of petals flew from the mountains, and there were petals floating everywhere in the sky, very beautiful, very romantic, and those petals gradually entered the flower basket carried by Xiao Xue, and it was filled in a short time.
Xiaoxue was very surprised, and said happily: "It's so beautiful, Brother Maicheng, your spells are really powerful, teach me, I want to learn too." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Xiaoxue, I'll teach you, you can take us to your house for one night first, we have something to do tomorrow." ”
Xiaoxue replied casually: "Okay, come with me." ”
Then Xiaoxue took Li Maicheng and the three of them to walk in the beautiful peach forest, walking and walking, there was an earthen house next to the peach forest.
Xiaoxue led Li Maicheng and the three of them home, Xiaoxue's father and mother were cooking at home, and her brother was chopping firewood to help.
Xiaoxue's father saw Xiaoxue come back and said, "Girl, you're back, what are these people you bringing for?" ”
Xiao Xue said: "Dad, these three brothers are from other places, and they came to our Momo City to catch fox demons, saying that they were here to spend one night." ”
Xiaoxue's father suddenly turned solemn when he heard this, and said: "Xiaoxue, how many times have I told you, don't take people home casually, be careful that you are a bad person." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Uncle, we are not bad people, we just spend the night here, leave tomorrow morning, and we will give you silver taels." ”
After speaking, Li Maicheng took out a piece of silver taels and handed it to Xiao Xue Dad, who immediately smiled when he saw the silver taels and said, "Okay, then stay for one night, and I have to leave tomorrow morning." ”
Li Maicheng replied casually: "Thank you, Abel." ”
After a while, the meal was cooked, Li Maicheng and Xiaotian ate the food, drank some peach blossom stuff, and then Xiaoxue took them to live in the side wing of the earthen house.
Li Maicheng was lying on the bed, thinking about how to find the Lian clan and the fox demon tomorrow, when he suddenly heard a loud bang, and suddenly Li Maicheng was surprised to find that he was in a big iron cage with Xiaotian and Koi.
And when they looked out, they saw that Bai Ruoxue was wearing leopard skin, and the fox demon who had escaped and was dressed as King Xilian was standing outside the iron cage.
Li Maicheng smashed the iron cage with the horse lance and said, "Bai Ruoxue, who are you, how do you know this fox demon who once dressed up as the king of Xilian." ”
The fox demon said with a wicked smile: "Li Maicheng, I can't think of it, then let me introduce to you, this beautiful woman in front of me is our white fox princess, she rules our paradise here, the piece of Momo City in front of you is under her command, I also listen to her dispatch, my name is Lei Ye Fox, you can also be called Lei Ye Wang, she sent me into the palace to dress up as King Xilian." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Xiaoxue, why are you doing this, seeing that your world is peaceful, why do you want to go to that palace to make trouble." ”
Xiao Xue said: "Maicheng, you don't understand, three years ago, this was still a hunting ground, it was the meat pond wine forest of the king of Xilian, our fox clan was sent by the king of Xilian to kill them all, my father was shot to death by the king of Xilian, and then the king of Xilian changed our paradise to Xilian Mocheng, and we surrendered to him." ”
Li Maicheng heard this and said, "Princess White Fox, where is King Xilian now, and where is our Lian Shibi?"
Princess White Fox said: "It's not a secret, King Xilian is imprisoned in the underground underground palace of the harem of Xilian Kingdom, and we don't dare to kill it, for fear that one day I will be leveled by Xilian Kingdom." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Princess White Fox, then you let us go now, and I will help you break the siege." I will give you a peaceful paradise. ”
Bai Ruoxue said, "Maicheng, you guys should stay in this iron cage for one night tonight." I'll pause and think about it. ”
Li Maicheng said casually: "Okay then,"
Then Bai Ruoxue and Lei Yehu left. And Li Maicheng and the three of them fell asleep in the cold iron cage.
