Chapter 44: Xu Ling'an!

The female assassin in black was directly knocked away by this sudden sword qi, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from the sky, before falling to the ground and falling into a coma.

Li Qian'er walked up to the female assassin in black, squatted down and probed the other party's snort, and said, "Not dead yet." ”

Li Yiqi glanced at the female assassin and said, "Kill it." ”

Li Qian'er frowned, and asked a little puzzled: "You don't plan to take it back for trial?"

Someone wanted to kill him and sent assassins, didn't he want to know who was behind it?

"No, it's useless to judge. ”

Li Yiqi seemed to know Li Qian'er's thoughts, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "If I want to design to get rid of a person, I will definitely not let the other party have the slightest chance to find me, these people are just tools, if some clues can be found, it may be that the other party is suspicious and will lead the trouble." ”

"Ahem, ahem—"

Just as Li Yiqi and Li Qian'er were talking, the female assassin in black suddenly woke up and began to cough up blood constantly. Seeing this situation, Li Qian'er looked cold, silently withdrew the long sword, and had no intention of making another move.

Before, her sword pierced directly through the chest and lungs of the female assassin in black, and it seemed that if she didn't heal in time, even if she didn't die now, it would not be able to delay for two or three quarters of an hour.

"You...... Don't be complacent. ”

Before dying, the female assassin in black seemed to use all her strength to forcibly support half of her body, staring at Li Yiqi viciously, with a look of madness on her face, and laughed: "Li bloodline...... Damned...... Cannot...... Good death!"

Before the words fell, a gray-colored sword suddenly bloomed, and in the eyes of several people, the body of the female assassin in black immediately split into two, her head flew high, and the broken wound on her neck spurted blood like a pillar.

Li Yiqi and Qi'er watched the headless body of the female assassin in black fall blankly before they reacted.

"Ahh

Qi'er screamed, and threw herself into Li Yiqi's arms like a frightened deer, her body trembling.

Li Qian'er held the long sword in her hand, her expression was cold, and the blood on the three-foot blade of the sword continued to flow down the tip of the sword to the ground. Although she has opinions about Li Yiqi, she does not allow others to slander the Li family in front of her. This woman is really innocent!

Li Yiqi was also taken aback by the sudden bloody scene in front of him, but his bearing capacity was much stronger than Qi'er's, and he calmed down in the next second, and gently patted Qi'er's thin and slender back, while smiling bitterly: "Alas, I regret it a little, I should have asked you to heal her injuries and then have a good trial......

Li Qian'er looked at Li Yiqi with a displeased expression, and said sarcastically: "Are you blaming me for being too fast?"

Seeing this, Li Yiqi hurriedly explained: "I'm not blaming you, I'm curious why she is so resentful of me and the Li family, it stands to reason that assassins don't all take money to do things, but these assassins are different......"

Li Yiqi didn't finish his words, it was too late to draw any conclusions, the female assassin in black had already lost her breath, and Li Qian'er was able to arrive, which meant that the rest of the assassins were also dead.

Without evidence, everything is empty talk.

"It has nothing to do with money, in the Jianghu sectarian world, there are many killer organizations that raise the dead, and they will not give up until they achieve their goals, and they value credibility more. Li Qian'er said indifferently, and with that, the light on her cuffs flashed, and the long sword disappeared inexplicably.

"Jianghu sect realm?"

Hearing this unfamiliar title, Li Yiqi's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flashed with thought, and he sneered: "Those Fangwai Demon Dao have been suppressed by the imperial court and are almost extinct, these people are so bold that they dare to hook up with Fangwai Demon Dao." ”

"Can you tell which killer organization these people are in the sectarian realm?" Li Yiqi asked after a moment of silence.

"No, you can't. ”

Li Qian'er shook her head, the imperial court and the sect are two worlds, and as a general in the Annan army, she doesn't have much contact with the sectarian world. She glanced at the corpse of the female assassin in black and asked indifferently, "What now?"

"...... Now"

Li Yiqi glanced up at the spire of the temple gate of the 'Xinnu'an' that seemed to be visible in the distance, muttered for a while, and said, "Let's go up first, meet the forbidden army there, and then let them arrange someone to escort us down the mountain." ”

Although Li Qian'er solved the first wave of assassins, she didn't know if the other party had another backhand, so the best decision now was to report to the imperial court that someone had committed a murder at the foot of the mountain and let them investigate the matter. Li Yiqi didn't believe it, and there were assassins who dared to assassinate him in front of the forbidden army!

"Good. ”

Li Qian'er did not object, and the three of them walked slowly towards the path on the mountainside.

Gradually, the closer they got to the 'Xinnu'an', the more people Li Yiqi and they saw, it seemed that the mountaineers were following the mountain on a different route from them, and when they arrived near the temple gate of the 'Xinnu'an', there were hundreds of pilgrims who came here to offer incense and pray for blessings.

Seeing so many people, a relieved smile appeared on Qi'er's pretty little face, there were so many people present, it was impossible for those assassins to act blatantly.

However, Li Yiqi and Li Qian'er's faces were still solemn, and the two looked around and did not act rashly.

"There!"

His eyes swept over the company camps in the distance, Li Yiqi's eyes lit up, and he took Qi'er's hand and walked over.

Li Qian'er silently followed, her crystal eyes staring at the hands held by the two in front of her, and a trace of jealousy and irritability welled up in her heart, if she stayed in Annan......

The three of them walked towards the extremely conspicuous garrison camp, and before they could get closer, a small group of patrolling armor soldiers around them immediately surrounded them, and one of them, a strong man with a strong breath, stared at Li Yiqi vigilantly, and shouted: "Stop! This is the forbidden military camp outpost, no intrusion!"

"I am a member of the East Palace, and I have something to see your commander. Li Yiqi said with a straight face, and once again took out the feared piece of the prince's golden order.

Seeing the token, the body of the strong man with a strong aura trembled obviously, but his face still did not change, and he replied in a cold voice: "Wait here." ”

With that, he ran toward the tent, and a moment later a figure in golden chain mail rode out of the tent with a line of cavalry.

The person who came was a tall and strong man, with square ears and short beards, majestic eyes, and a terrifying breath, he glanced at the token in Li Yiqi's hand, a sharp light burst out of his eyes, and he said coldly with an expressionless face: "No military order, no adjustment order, trespass into the military camp, even if it is a person from the East Palace?"

Hearing the strong man's order, the soldiers immediately surrounded him and were about to start.

"Slow!"

Li Yiqi's brows jumped suddenly, he took a step back, raised his hand, and scolded the other party.

He didn't understand why his side, which could be eaten almost anywhere, was suddenly useless...... Who is this general? He doesn't even give the crown prince face?

Thinking like this, Li Yiqi hurriedly glanced sideways at a large flag erected in the center of the huge tent, with a ten-zhang high flag with a black background and a golden ornament as the edge, and a big 'Xu' word embroidered in the center.

Seeing this flag, Li Yiqi quickly filtered the generals of the forbidden army stationed near the Beijing Division in his mind, and carefully looked at the appearance of the strong general in front of him, and immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "General Xu Dai, do you remember me?"

"In Xia Li Yiqi, the seventh grandson of the Li family in Wu'an, when the general came to visit the Hou Mansion, we met, and the general even mentioned me!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"You ......"

Hearing this, the general named Xu Dai frowned, turned over and dismounted, his height was a head taller than Li Heming, and his armor looked even more powerful, like a door god.

Xu Dai walked in front of Li Yiqi, and when he saw Li Yiqi's appearance clearly, his face suddenly became surprised: "It's really the grandson of the Hou Ye!"

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and it seems that General Xu still remembers me. Li Yiqi smiled and bowed his hand.

"yes. Xu Dai's eyes were a little gloomy, and he shook his head again and again and said with a wry smile: "A few years have passed, and the son has grown up, but he didn't recognize it for a while." ”

This General Xu Dai was also one of the fierce generals under Li Jiu's account back then, but he stayed in the Zhennan Army for a relatively short time, and later left the front line after being promoted by Li Jiu and transferred back to the rear. A few years ago, when Li Jiuqi returned from the Annan army, Xu Dai also came to Li Mansion to thank Li Jiuzhi, and Li Yiqi was also present at that time. At that time, Li Yiqi heard from his words that General Xu seemed to have a good relationship with his father, so he remembered it very clearly.

"General Xu, why are you still stationed in Jingshan now?" Li Yiqi's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he asked in disbelief.

Hearing this, Xu Dai's thick lips moved slightly, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It's a long story...... Let the prince come in with me first. ”

"You keep patrolling. With that, Xu Dai waved his hand, drank away a group of soldiers, and introduced Li Yiqi and the three into the camp.

Seeing Xu Dai's somewhat depressed appearance, Li Yiqi's eyes flickered slightly, nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and followed the other party into the camp.

In the wide tent, a large hall stood majestically, Xu Dai sat on a dragon and tiger Taishi chair, ordered his subordinates to send tea and pastries, looked at Li Yiqi and the three of them, and asked with a smile: "What is the matter with the prince here?"

Li Yiqi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and began to tell everything that happened before.

"I see, the prince came here to pray with his friends. ”

Xu Dai's golden knife horse sat on the Taishi chair with a sudden expression, and glanced at the two delicate girls beside Li Yiqi without a trace, slightly stunned, and then realized, and laughed loudly: "The prince is still a romantic person......

In Xu Dai's view, Li Yiqi is young and strong, which is also human nature, although it is a little inappropriate to bring two women to pray at one time, but he naturally will not break it, he only thinks that Li Yiqi is a merry person.

"Merry man...... General, you misunderstood. Li Yiqi felt that there seemed to be a cold light piercing from behind, he was a little embarrassed, and smiled bitterly, but did not dare to explain more in this regard, but went straight to the point.

"Haha, I think your father was also a dragon among people back then, how many young ladies of the family admired him....."

Xu Dai laughed, looking at Li Yiqi's embarrassing appearance, his eyes seemed to evoke some memories of the past, and his mood was much better, but when he heard that someone had assassinated Li Yiqi, his face suddenly changed, and the murderous intent in his eyes skyrocketed, and he shouted angrily: "These thieves are so bold!"

"General Xu, the bodies of those people are still at the bottom of the mountain at the moment. Li Yiqi said with a straight face.

"I see. Xu Dai nodded solemnly, and hurriedly recruited his forbidden army.

......

Next to Li Yiqi, Qi'er lowered her head and swayed her hands, seeing Qi'er's appearance, Li Yiqi knew it in her heart, turned her head to look at Li Qian'er, and said with a smile: "This place is very close to the 'Xinnu'an', you can accompany Qi'er to take a trip, I am very safe here." ”

"Young Master!" Qi'er's ruddy little mouth opened, and her eyes flashed with shyness and emotion.

"Then you'll have to come with me. ”

Li Qian'er looked at Li Yiqi coldly, she came here just to protect Li Yiqi's safety, and there was only one thing to do - kill people, and she didn't want to worry about other things.

"This is also my grandfather's old department, and I'm safe here. Li Yiqi smiled slightly.

Li Qian'er frowned and subconsciously refused, but under Li Yiqi's repeated requests, she still took Qi'er out of the big tent.

......

"The general has been stationed on this Jingshan for several years, why hasn't the imperial court sent an order yet?"

After Qi'er and Li Qian'er left, Li Yiqi's eyes flashed and he asked this question again. The reason why he asked this question was because he knew that Jingshan was far away from Shangjing, and the rotation period of the generals of the forbidden army was one year, and the last time Xu Dai met him, it was more than three years ago, and at that time, Xu Dai was already the garrison general of Jingshan.

On the side of the big tent, one of Xu Dai's personal companions had all kinds of light flashing in his eyes, this person was tall and thin, fair-skinned, handsome, about twenty years old, not like a soldier, but like a scribe. Ever since Li Yiqi came in, he had been quietly looking at Li Yiqi, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if he was thinking about something. Hearing Li Yiqi's words, his brows jumped, and he turned his head to look at Xu Dai, wanting to speak, but he was warned by Xu Dai with an extremely sharp gaze.

"The Son of the World Doesn't Know ......"

The corners of Xu Dai's mouth outlined a bitter smile, shook his head again and again, and sighed.

Seeing this scene, Li Yiqi's heart moved, and he smiled at Xu Dai: "If the general doesn't treat me as an outsider, you can say it." ”

Xu Dai was slightly stunned, then sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It's not a secret, back then, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince hunted near this Jingshan, and I was the attendant...... inadvertently annoyed His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, and later ......"

"The Five Princes?"

After listening to Xu Dai's words, Li Yiqi was a little shocked in his heart: "Xia Cao!"

Xia Cao, the fifth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, is said to be arrogant and disliked by Confucianism, but this person has outstanding martial arts talent, and at the age of sixteen he made great military achievements in the northwest, and it is said that he also killed a foreign prince, and there are many voices in the military family that support Xia Cao's inheritance of the unification.

Li Yiqi didn't expect that Xu Dai stayed in Jingshan for several years and was not transferred, and it was actually related to the fifth prince.

Beside Xu Dai, the entourage lowered his head, the light in his eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a while, he took a step forward, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, this is the red man next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today......"

"Shut up!" Xu Dai's eyes were cold, and he glared at his relatives angrily.

"Stand down, there's no place for you to speak here!" Xu Dai scolded coldly.

A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and his expression looked slightly disappointed, but he didn't say anything, as if he had long been used to it, and responded respectfully and stepped aside.

"Is he?"

Li Yiqi turned his gaze and looked at the entourage with some curiosity.

"Hehe, the prince smiled, this is the dog Xu Ling'an. Xu Dai shook his head again and again and smiled bitterly, and waved his hand at Xu Ling'an: "Come and see the son." ”

"Xu Ling'an has seen the son. ”

Xu Ling trembled in peace of mind, looking a little excited, and hurriedly bowed down, with a respectful and respectful attitude.

"Hmm. ”

Li Yiqi smiled slightly, nodded casually, and looked away.

The reason why he was a little curious about Xu Ling'an was that he just felt that there was a scholarly figure in the camp of the forbidden army, which was a bit disobedient, but he didn't expect that this person turned out to be the son of Xu Dai, so there was nothing to care about.

Seeing Li Yiqi's gaze away from him, and he didn't look interested in the slightest, Xu Ling'an's face was cloudy, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a respectful voice suddenly from outside:

"My lord, the corpses have been brought!"

"Oh, so fast!"

Li Yiqi couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Xu Dai's soldiers to be so efficient, he and Xu Dai only had a few words, and the bodies of those assassins had already been found.

"Let's go, General, let's take a look!"

Li Yiqi said, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the tent.
