Chapter 160: Against the Current
A banquet in the City Lord's Mansion, the guests and hosts were happy, Xu Yan happily said goodbye with the Fengyu knife, Yan Linchu was sent to the gate, a fat face looked happy, and his steps were a little shaky when he went back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yan Linchu drank very happily today, with the silver crown of the snake spirit, plus the other treasures he had collected in recent years, he could almost exchange for a pill of Bayuan Dan, as long as the Qingyuan swordsmanship was completed, wouldn't he Yan Linchu also be able to become a powerhouse in the Void Dan Realm.
Yan Linchu drank a lot, Xu Yan drank more, and when he left the City Lord's Mansion, he felt that his head was about to crack, so he found a place where no one was, and hurriedly used his true qi to force out some of the wine, which improved a lot.
It can make the innate martial artist drink a headache, but you can imagine how much liquor you have to drink.
"Tomorrow morning......
Squeezed his hands fiercely, Xu Yan's slightly drunk eyes instantly became clear, a look of excitement could no longer be concealed, and his delicate face trembled.
The envoy of the royal family will arrive in Fengdu early tomorrow morning, accompanied by the famous Flying Dragon Army!
This important news was said by Yan Linchu himself, and when Xu Yan heard the news, he almost cheered.
The purpose of the envoy's trip is to escort the Taibao of the Ghost King Gate, and the second is to welcome the eldest princess of Dapu, and the place where the two countries are handed over is Qiyuanxia, when the Taibao will be taken away by the Dapu side, and the princess will be taken back to the imperial capital of Qi by the Flying Dragon Army.
Sure enough, the marriage between Qi Pu and the two countries, the lords of both sides attach great importance to it, since there is an envoy to escort it, Zhuo Tianying, who has killed seventeen sons, can only hand over Xu Yan, because Xu Yan will become the only surviving Taibao!
In the middle of summer, the city is full of green, the shade of the trees cannot hide the scorching heat, and even the wind carries a hot breath.
The hot summer is not only sultry, but also full of infinite life!
The opportunity finally appeared.
Becoming the Taibao is Xu Yan's only chance, as long as he becomes a candidate for the rich, Zhuo Tianying will not be able to kill him immediately, even if the poison of the black poppy grass is still there, at least there will be a lot more time to maneuver.
As long as he broke away from the Ghost King Gate, Xu Yan believed that he would have a chance to find the antidote Crowtail Lotus.
At the entrance of the street, a team of warriors was in a hurry, seeing that they were all dressed as people from the Ghost King Gate, coming along the streets and alleys, Xu Yan immediately dodged and hid in the doorway of a house, lying on the door frame and pretending to be a drunkard.
He was already full of alcohol, and no one recognized him when he had his back on his back.
"Yulin Mountain has collapsed, I'm afraid the Taibao will not be able to come back, more than 10,000 people, just like this, the whole army will be wiped out......"
"Who would have thought that Yulin Mountain could collapse, such a famous mountain, is our Ghost King Gate guilty of the wrath of the heavens?"
"If the other Taibao die, they will die, and if the Great Taibao is buried in Yulin Mountain, the master of the door will have to go crazy. ”
"The mountain collapsed, the congenital four veins can't survive at all, it seems that the next time we choose the Taibao, we will have to choose enough eighteen, and we may have the opportunity to become the Great Taibao. ”
"Shut up! I want the master of the door to hear this, do you still want to live! Hurry up, fortunately I left the villa on this mission, and I didn't hear the roar of the master when I left, we are lucky, the people who stay in the villa may not be carrying some black pot. ”
Dozens of disciples of the Ghost King Sect, led by a deputy hall master, passed through the streets and alleys, and they didn't know what task they were going to perform, and when the group of people walked away, Xu Yan slowly sat up.
Relying on his sensitive hearing, he heard a few words of the other party's conversation, among those people were innate masters, and none of them were loud, if Xu Yan hadn't reached the five veins innate, he might not be able to hear clearly.
It seems that the news of Yulin Mountain has been transmitted back to the Ghost King Gate, and when he learned that more than 10,000 people and horses were all wiped out, Zhuo Tianying didn't know what kind of anger he wanted to become.
A sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, Xu Yancai didn't care whether Zhuo Tianying was crazy or not, he smeared some mud on his face, making him look like a beggar, and then got up and walked outside the city.
The news of his return from the Seventeenth Taibao must not be known now, and the best way is to stay away from Fengdu and wait until tomorrow to return to the Ghost King Gate.
Only by pinching the time when the royal envoy arrived to return to the Ghost King Gate could Zhuo Tianying be caught off guard.
Walking along the official road outside the city, Xu Yan turned to the mountain road on one side, turned over two barren mountains, and a boundless river appeared in the distance.
The ribbon-like river meanders across this land, looking at it from afar, like a blue sea, it seems quiet and far-reaching, and when it gets closer and closer, you can hear the roar of thousands of horses galloping.
The roaring river, coming from the east, rushed to the north, for thousands of years, endlessly, like an army of billions, day and night, tireless, and endless.
Tongtian River, a giant river that runs through Qingzhou!
The two banks of the river, because of the perennial scouring, formed a hundred zhang away from the beach, the beach is full of hard pebbles, these stones are large and small, I don't know how many years of washing of the river before being brought to the shore, pinched hard as steel.
Xu Yan, who came to the Tongtian River, began to collect pebbles on the beach, picking stones the size of birds' eggs, and didn't want anything that was not convenient.
This kind of hard stone is the most suitable as a hidden weapon, even if it hits the blade, it may not be able to be cut, it is hard and heavy, and it can be hit on the head of others to make a bag, if it is hit with a flying locust, the power will be even more terrifying.
Xu Yan is preparing his killer move.
This time to return to the Ghost King Gate, life and death are unpredictable, although I got the exact time when the royal envoy arrived in Fengdu City, and I also learned that the Ghost King Gate must send a Taibao for this marriage, but in the final analysis, Xu Yan is not sure about the grasp of the current situation.
There are too many variables, and Zhuo Tianying is a ruthless person, so Xu Yan needs to prepare some of the hardest stones for the final desperate fight.
If Zhuo Tianying wanted to kill him, he couldn't say it, Xu Yan would be completely desperate.
Dozens of pebbles of similar size were tucked into the cuffs, and as the sky grew dark, a cloud of fire appeared on the horizon, and the river seemed to burn.
After washing his face with river water, Xu Yan sat by the river, looking at the red clouds in the sky, listening to the roar of the river, the delicate eyebrows changed from frowning to soothing, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
I don't know how long later, a crescent moon hung in the sky, under the bright moon, the sitting figure suddenly stood up, shook his hand, and a stone flew out along the river, making many splashes on the water surface one after another, and finally sank.
The flying stone going up the current does not drive many ripples, and it is very laborious, if you go downstream, the stone will definitely fly farther.
Life is like this, the time to go with the current may be very long, but once there is a countercurrent, only by constantly struggling can you keep yourself from sinking.
There is a downstream in the red dust, there is also a countercurrent, and the wind and waves are calm, the little Taoist priest from Chengyunguan stood under the moonlight, raised his eyes to the heavenly river, for the first time, Xu Yan felt the taste of the trapped beast, he found that even if it is a pig, it is impossible to be carefree all his life, and if he wants to sleep peacefully surrounded by birds of prey, he not only needs to be heartless, but also needs strong strength.
Only by becoming a fierce beast so powerful that even the lion and tiger dare not approach can he live as comfortably as a pig in this thorny red dust.
Looking at the countercurrent, the young man clenched his fists tightly, since he didn't want to be manipulated, he could only swim against the current!
