Chapter Seventy-Five: What Did the General See?
After the general pulled a few sword flowers, he was hot-headed for a while, regardless of whether he was closed or not, although his cultivation was not a master, but his vision was very vicious, because when he looked at Yang Li and the three of them, he couldn't see the other party's cultivation level clearly, which could only show that the strength of the other party was above him, if it weren't for hearing Fang Cai Yang Li's humiliating words, he wouldn't be stupid enough to compete with people who were much higher than his own cultivation.
Is it to fight or not to fight? Yidao and Zhu Da Fat Man, of course, have to listen to Yang Li's orders, but when they looked back at Yang Li, they found that Yang Lihun didn't care, his facial expression was extremely weird, it seemed that the whole focus of attention was not here, but in other unknown places, what was going on?
Even the general was a little stunned, of course he also saw Yang Li's unguarded state, and he didn't pay attention to his provocation at all
Yang Li had indeed covered all of his divine consciousness in the mountains and forests on both sides at this time, because there, he had noticed a trace of aura that was completely different from the beasts beside him.
This aura clearly contained powerful power, but because the aura master Rao deliberately suppressed it, it would not be discovered by ordinary people, even low-level cultivators.
Yang Li was in the process of scolding and laughing with the generals, and he realized by chance, he felt that although the Sword Pavilion held the main way to clear the customs, the mountains on both sides were the key to breaking through it, if the enemy sent two troops to attack the Sword Pavilion from the left and right sides at the same time, then the Sword Pavilion would be in extreme danger
Although the garrison of the cluster had reported to the imperial court that there were roadblocks in the two mountains and forests at the same time to block the enemy's sneak attack, according to the natural conditions on both sides, the deep water ditch was dug and widened, and some poisonous snakes and beasts were relocated here, hoping to entertain the enemy troops who dared to attack with such a "natural scenery".
Moreover, at the highest peaks of the two peaks, there are sentinels dispatched at intervals all year round, and whenever there is movement, the wolf smoke released on them can be seen here, so it is not easy to make a detour from both sides, and it is not easy to surprise the Sword Pavilion.
But Yang Li now "saw" the strange aura coming from the peaks on both sides, this aura was both strange and novel, although Yang Li was born reckless all the year round, and he had been crawling and rolling in the land of blood sacrifice for a long time, but this was the first time he had encountered such an aura, so he was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself.
"Are you going to fight or not?" In fact, the general himself didn't want to fight, but because his brothers were all around, so from the perspective of face, he was maintaining his majesty, so his mouth was still shouting, but his voice was obviously a little gone.
He also knew that the enemy couldn't fight among himself at the moment, so he just made a noise, as for where Yang Li was, he wouldn't care, of course, he didn't have the ability to explore.
"Fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, all of them are their own family, if it really starts, wouldn't it make Tang Jun see a joke. A rich baritone suddenly sounded on the outer side of the city wall behind the Sword Pavilion Tower. I'm afraid that the master here has arrived, Yang Li quickly withdrew his divine sense after hearing this.
But seeing this Sword Pavilion guard, he was dressed in armor, and the yellow-orange armor was made of brass, although it was not made of gold, but it was shining under the reflection of the sun. This lord will be born with a dignified appearance, but he has a pair of Danfeng eyes, three long whiskers fluttering under his chin, and he is not angry and arrogant when he looks at people.
What surprised Yang Li was that this person was clearly no more than the realm of a contemplative cultivator, but he was able to float up from the outside of the city wall. That kind of posture of driving clouds and spitting fog, but it seems to have the cultivation of Xiangyun Master.
Yang Li vaguely remembered that only when a cultivator reached the cultivation of the level of Xiangyun Master could he be able to fly in the air, why was his cultivation clearly still at a lower level, but he was already able to fly in the air?
A knife was also puzzled by the side, but Zhu Fatzi was very happy when he saw the visitor, because he had seen two sides of people, of course, he had seen it when he accompanied General Li, but at that time he was still cooking for the two generals as a cook, but when he was on the material, the general once smiled at him.
"I am the guard of the cluster, my surname is blue, and my name is Ming. The talented woman went to report, and I don't know which general came to help. Qian Ming thanked him here!" After the person flew to stand firm on the city tower, he floated the general's heroic warrior draped on his body behind him, and then looked at Yang Lidao slowly.
"I heard that the guard here is also surnamed Lan, but it turned out to be him!" The big fat man whispered near Yang Li: "This guy is related to Lan Yi, and his views on governing the country are inextricably linked with the prince, no wonder he can guard one side,"
"And both sides are very relieved!" Yang Li quickly retracted his mind and body, and continued with the words of the big fat man.
At the moment when the guard General Lan landed here, Yang Li felt that there seemed to be some strange treasure hidden in the hero's big man, which solved the mystery in his heart, it turned out that the garrison here was really not simple, and he actually had a magic weapon that could control the sky, no wonder this General Lan could rise into the sky with such a mere cultivation.
When Yang Li excused himself for this, he deliberately did not lower his voice, presumably General Lan on the other side heard it really well, but General Lan was indeed an old fritter, his face remained unchanged, he lowered his head and smiled, and said loudly:
"Since it is a vanguard officer sent by General Li, then I, Lan, will definitely hold a banquet to entertain you. General Lan's words did not mention that Yang Li and his party only came with three people, and they were treated as if they were a large force that came to the rescue, and they were courteous to the general's mansion with them.
This kind of calm and disciplined demeanor is really admirable when compared with the daughter next to him, that is, the female general, and the generals beside him. Because whether it was his daughter or the unknown general, they were so angry that they stomped their feet, and they were teased by others for no reason, and they had to act as if they were not warmly entertained at all, which thing is this!
After sitting down for a moment in the reception hall of the General's Palace, it was time for dinner. General Lan got up and took Yang Li's wrist enthusiastically, and after arranging for his subordinates to arrange the residence of Yang Li and Sanrao, he led Yang Li and his party to the place where the general ate. Because there were not many people considering Yang Li and them, they invited a few other generals to accompany them, and they just made up a table.
And Zhu Da Fat was specially arranged to sit in two seats because of his burly, wide and fat body, but even so, at the welcome dinner, along with Yang Li, the three of them were only six people.
The female general was not among the companions, presumably because of her daughter's family, which was indeed a little inconvenient. And the generals who wanted to do it on the top of the city tower were not among the generals who accompanied him, it may be that his military rank is not enough, or it may be that General Lan deliberately arranged it.
Imagine if this unknown general was also among the accompaniments, then the atmosphere would definitely be awkward, so if he didn't come, everyone would be relaxed, and go to school as if nothing happened just now
General Lan is worthy of being the top figure in the ranks, he can carry a knife on the horse, and he can carry a cup on the table. He first proposed: "In order to welcome the arrival of the three generals, let's drink the wine in the cup together!" Yang Li's cultivation was the highest among the six shortages, and of course he was not afraid that the wine would get him drunk, so after General Lan drank it all, he also laughed heartily and drank all the wine in the cup.
A knife is no exception, although he has some Confucian bearing, but he also has some cultivation, so he finished the wine in the cup.
The most interesting thing is that even if it is Zhu Da Fat, he not only has cultivation, but also usually has a lot of alcohol, and even has some alcohol addiction, and now his big ass is sitting on two stools, which is very comfortable! So he took the wine in one cup, said a few good words in a row, and then drank the two glasses of wine in front of him very svenly in his own opinion. Then he wiped the corners of his mouth busily, picked up a chicken leg, and gnawed his belly.
During the conversation, Zhu Da Fat wanted to catch up with General Lan, but people didn't seem to remember where they had seen him, so the two didn't talk anymore.
On the contrary, Yang Li was young, and this made General Lan unable to see through cultivation, so on the main throne, General Lan asked Yang Li vigorously, why haven't you even seen you above the court? Where are you from? and even asked if you have ever seen the Taihu Stone in the prince's mansion?
Did you enter the Flying Bird Pavilion in the palace and sit and so on, etc., etc., there are all kinds of strange questions.
As long as there is a bad answer, Yang Li may be classified as the emperor's faction by the treacherous and cunning General Lan, or simply the prince's faction.
When is it now? The army and horsemen of the Tang Dynasty are coming to the city, and on the mountains on both sides, they have arranged some kind of backhand, as the chief general of the Sword Pavilion, but they don't think about the way of attack and defense, and the book of defending against the enemy, but here they are not ashamed to talk about such trivial things, which makes Yang Li very anti-blessing
Does he want the safety of the common people to be just like this in the eyes of Da Rao, just behind the Sword Pavilion, 300 miles away, where the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty is located, the common people probably don't know it now, there is a Tang army here, right?
If this place is lost, then the princes and nobles will lose some property at most, and it will be a big deal to move to other towns with a pat on the butt. And the first to suffer is probably the ordinary people, if they encounter an army of executioners who kill people without blinking an eye and slaughter the city for thousands of miles, then they will definitely suffer a catastrophe.
In this way, whether it is from the perspective of the common people, or from the perspective of not being able to expose his own details, Yang Li can't drink this wine anymore, he and Yidao and Zhu Fatzi took advantage of the toast to secretly exchange glances, and then pretended to be drunk in different time periods and poured on the wine table.
They feigned to be drunk in different positions, but the most interesting was the big fat man, who didn't notice that his stomach was stuck in the table when he tried to slide down the table, because he was too fat. It took a long time for the subordinates of the General's Mansion to pull him out of the table, and then seven or eight people carried him to the guest room.
General Lan sat quietly beside the banquet, and finally spit out a few words from his mouth with great difficulty: "These people's cultivation should not be low, but they are so drunk, it's really not simple!"
The few generals who accompanied the wine next to them did not eat enough, but seeing that General Lan did not move his chopsticks, they silently accompanied him, pretending to nod their heads slowly, listening to General Lan's unprovoked words from their bosses, they were really a little confused.
But what they didn't know was that that night, when General Lan was still digging out his mind and sending people back to the capital to investigate, Yang Li and his party were meticulous, the Tang army's large-scale attack actually began in the early morning, although their army was not superior in numbers. Yang Li didn't sleep much this night, he used this time not only to learn the method of forging, but also to stabilize the existing cultivation of the first-grade Xiangyun Master, if he wanted to go further, I am afraid that the amount of earth qi to absorb was almost massive.
However, his physical fitness is extremely adapted to the environment and climate in the sea of flames, and if possible, he really wants to stay here for the rest of his life, because he feels that as long as he is here, even if he does not absorb the elements of earth fire, the elements of fire between the earth will gather into his body like a surging river, which saves him the time conflict between cultivating and learning the method of forging on the other.
Therefore, on this evening, although he was just sitting cross-legged on the bed, the qi of the earth was like going crazy, pouring into his body, if he continued at this speed, it would not be long before he broke through the bottleneck of the second grade and reached a higher realm.
But then again, the aura required for the realm of the second-grade Xiangyun Master is probably nine times that of the first-grade Xiangyun Master level.
Others are afraid that the difference between the two realms is probably three times at most, but Yang Li's physique is special, he either does not advance, or it is difficult to advance, but once he successfully advances, between the two, even the difference in the energy of the realm, I am afraid that it is more than nine times, so as long as Yang Li advances, the kind of progress and change that will follow will be unthinkable and unattachable.
Yang Li not only knew that his physique was special, but also knew that it was still a question whether he could stay in the sea of flames for a long time. Therefore, as soon as he was free, he would calm down, absorb a large amount of earth fire elements at an unstoppable speed, and then transform them into the Yuan Force Breath that he could use.
He didn't investigate what caused his physique to be able to cultivate in the sea of flames for a long time, but buried himself in hard work and made a fortune in a muffled voice, hoping that one day he would be able to advance to the second grade. As for the third and fourth grades, he can't think about it now, because the time has not yet come, and it is useless to think about it, so living in the present is his very realistic attitude now.
Yidao and Yang Li were in the same courtyard, and he was also diligent in practicing at night, but he was surprised to find that no matter how hard he absorbed the aura this night, it was always in vain, and then when he confidently stepped into the courtyard, he was surprised to find that the naked eye could feel that there was a large number of fire elements in the ground, which were rushing into Yang Li's house, and the speed was so fast and the number was rare in the world.
However, after looking at it for a while, he was relieved in his heart, Yang Li was the son of Master Zu, and when he was practicing, if he didn't show abnormality, it would be abnormal.
Therefore, he simply sat in front of Yang Li's house, on the one hand, even if he was helping his master practice and protect the Fa, on the other hand, he could also absorb Yang Li's absorption of some fire elements. These fires were elementals, and although they were urgently needed by the Meditation Cultivators, they were not needed by the Xiangyun Master.
Therefore, Yang Li was also happy to absorb it by his followers and increase his skills. Therefore, for a long period of time in the future, Yang Li and Yidao will cultivate separately in this way, without interfering with each other, and they will also complement each other. The skill of a sword has advanced by leaps and bounds in this kind of cultivation, and in his words, every time at this time, he seems to have a feeling of rushing forward.
Time passed very quickly in their cultivation process, and it suddenly came to the second half of the night. And at this time, Zhu Da Fat Man turned over and sat up, he didn't want to be as diligent in cultivation as Yidao, he wanted to take advantage of the night in the well courtyard to practice his own exercises. The big fat man, at this time, just felt his stomach rumbling because he was hungry.
After the big fat man turned over and sat up, he was fascinated and wanted to find some food to satisfy his hunger, but where could he find it? At this time, he had forgotten that he had come to the Sword Pavilion, not in the original military camp in the western suburbs. Although he was only a firehead there, he had a lot of food in his daily collection. There is cured chicken and bacon hanging on the wall, and there are three or five steamed buns on the table, which should be there.
And when you lift his kang head, you may even find one or two ham or two that exude deliciousness even under the mat, and after careful inspection, you can see that the pig ham still has the tooth marks left by his old man.
This is the happy life of Zhu Da Fatty, who can buy ingredients in the name of General Li, and can also use the name of pickling ingredients to hide them privately, and then in the dead of night, destroy them like enemies. But after arriving at the Sword Pavilion, the old man's hard life had just begun!
"Hey!" After groping aimlessly in the room, the big fat man slipped out of the house like a mouse that had not found dinner, and he wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to find some food in the kitchen of the General's Mansion to satisfy his hunger.
But before all his bodies came out, this guy was so frightened when he saw the situation in Jingdangyuan that he almost didn't turn back. Because he saw a knife plate sitting in front of the boss's house, he felt that there seemed to be some kind of concerted cultivation activity between them, and he wondered if the boss was a good Yuanyang, if he aimed at himself, his 800 catties would not be enough for others, so it would be better to go back more!
"Since it's already out, why hide your head and show your tail, you call me a general when everyone is in front of people, I don't care, but in private we are all brothers. I don't have anything to be afraid of, so don't hide from me like you've seen a cat. ”
Yang Li's cultivation had come to an end, he restrained his breath, calmed his breathing, and said hello with the same knife with his divine sense. He pushed the door and walked out, smiling and smiling in the direction of the big fat man's room, and his tone was calm and authentic.
Zhu Da Fat couldn't hide his figure anymore at this time, he pouted his ass and laughed twice in the room, and then opened the door with a shy face and came out. Seeing that the general and Yidao were standing in the well courtyard, and then there was nothing to say:
"I don't know if General Ming Li can arrive, if the enemy attacks at this time, we don't know how sure we can hold the city?!"
"Defend the city?! That's wishful thinking. ”
Of course, Yang Li didn't hide it in front of him, he was still thinking about General Fang Cailan's words indignantly, some of them were polite words from officialdom, and some were words that spied on him.
There were some inconsequential things in and out of the words, and none of them told him how the Sword Pavilion would resist the invasion of the enemy army in the next step, and they did not regard them as the vanguard of the aid at all, although the tone during the banquet was respectful, but the contempt was insignificant, and no one could see it, but everyone did not come out in person, and they all left a trace of affection for each other.
But this is not to blame General Lan, because there are indeed only three people who came, although their cultivation is not weak, they can compete with General Lan, but at the moment of the great enemy, what can only three people do?
Zhu Da Fat Man listened to Yang Li's words coldly, and his heart was really flustered, he wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to start asking. So he could only stand there with a dry smile, his hands kept rubbing, and he no longer dared to make a sound.
However, he was a little puzzled, not only had he seen Yang Li's ability in the Gale Forging, but he also admired Yang Li's cultivation method in Fang Cai, if such a figure guarding the Sword Pavilion could not make meritorious contributions, then he couldn't imagine that the huge Great Wei Kingdom, who else could defend the cluster. So he was very unconvinced and asked: "There is a master here, I'm afraid that the enemy army will not return, why can't this city stand it?!"
Yang Li smiled, turned around and gently patted Yidao's shoulder. Thinking that this person is decades older than himself, but he is still in the realm of a contemplative monk, and he is only at the beginning level, it is really a creation and a trick.
He said lightly: "I still remember the time when I was in a trance on the top of the city tower, outside of my wandering objects, right?" This scene did not take much time, Yidao and the big fat man both remembered it very clearly, at that time, Yidao thought that Yang Li disdained to talk to the guards here, so he deliberately made a gesture, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"At that time, although I was still on top of the castle tower, my divine consciousness had already shrouded the mountains on both sides. I seemed to smell an ominous smell during that time, and I scattered in the mountains and forests on both sides of the vast expanse."
Hearing that there was danger hidden in the mountains on both sides, Yidao and Zhu Da Fat were a little surprised, they were also on top of the city tower during that time period, but they did not find any dangerous aura.
So they asked, almost at the same time, "What did the general see?"
"What did the master see?" Yang Li shook his head a little helplessly, and then said, "Just when I was about to search carefully, it happened that General Lan came, you guys, what can I see?!"
Yidao and the big fat man were about to ask another question, when suddenly a large crowd of people shouted from the city tower in front: "Oh no! Night attack!"
Suddenly, in the direction where the sound came, the torches were lit, and the people roared and the horses neighed, which was a "lively" scene.
"Shall we go and have a look?" Although Zhu Da Fat Man had been in the barracks for several years, it was the first time he had gone to the front line, so he wanted to make contributions on the front line, so he urged Yang Li to lead them there.
However, Yang Li is the rank of a general, according to the rules in the barracks, no one can act arbitrarily without the order of the supreme commander, so although the big fat man yearns for it, he can even lift his fat thick legs, but as long as Yang Li's order is not issued, he has 10,000 hearts willing to go, and he can't go there.
Looking at the big fat man's anxious appearance, Yang Li didn't feel funny in his heart, but his facial expression was very serious. After listening carefully for a while, Yang Li said: "You come with me, let's go to the city tower on the left to have a look!"
At this moment, although there are dotted torches in the city tower on the left, but there is no large group of people and horses running there, and the opportunity to make contributions in front of him is not gone, but he wants to burn the cold stove, the big fat man can't figure out why, but since the general has an order, he has to reluctantly follow, groping to the city tower on the left!
Except for Yang Li, the other two have no bottom in their hearts, and even a knife is very strange, why did Yang Li go to the left?
