Chapter 183: Li Xiao
(4000 words a chapter is really not used to it, I hope to hold on a little longer~~)
In Fahua Temple, Princess Qin sat on a chair in the wing room in a gorgeous dress, her face was painted with exquisite makeup, at first glance, she was beautiful and dignified, but at this moment, no matter how heavy the makeup was, she couldn't hide the tiredness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Across from her stood a soldier in silver armor, about forty years old, tall, with hard and cold features, and a lightning-shaped scar on his brow bone.
"General Li, the palace depends on you today." Princess Qin spoke to the man with a pleasant face, and there was a faint flattery in her tone.
"Princess, don't worry, the last general will definitely bring His Royal Highness back safely." The general surnamed Li still said without any expression, making it impossible to see through what he was thinking.
Although Princess Qin had received his consent, she was still worried in her heart, all because the person in front of her was not something she could drive. This person's name is Li Xiao, she has heard the King of Qin say, this person should be a descendant of the previous dynasty, I don't know why he fell to this Qi City, and quite a few scheming means, single-handedly gathered a group of soldiers and horses in this Qi City, at the beginning the King of Qin did not know what conditions he promised him, only to get his followers, in addition to the 20,000 personal soldiers in the Qin Palace, the rest of the 30,000 soldiers and horses, all controlled by him, it turned out that when the King of Qin was there, he was not able to completely suppress him, not to mention that now she is a woman, she is +agreed to Lu Wanwan's conditions so readily, and he also knew that he couldn't hold this hot potato, so it was better to throw him out. Let the people of the Zheng family go to distress.
"Is General Sun's man in another courtyard?" Princess Qin came back to her senses from her contemplation, and asked with Na Li Xiao again.
Li Xiao nodded and replied: "General Sun originally wanted to arrange for people to come in, but I refused, so they could only evacuate the people to the courtyard next door, if the princess didn't like it, I asked them to withdraw the people next door as well." ”
Princess Qin waved her hand and said, "No need, so be it, it's not good to offend him too much now." The old horseman who backtracked. Someone will always come and clean him up! Princess Qin said hatefully, compared to the Zheng family, she hates Sun Jianying more now, if it weren't for Sun Jianying's sudden defection. How could his Wei'er be caught by the Zheng family.
The two were talking. There was a knock at the door. Then I heard someone say, "Princess Qiqi, general, the people of the Zheng family have arrived outside the Fahua Temple." ”
Princess Qin heard it. Immediately stood up excitedly, as if he wanted to go to see Li Wei outside the temple immediately.
That Li Xiao was in front of Princess Qin, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Niangniang, please wait here, I don't know what will happen outside for a while, Niangniang's daughter's body, you can't be in danger, let's let the last general go, the last general will definitely bring His Royal Highness the prince back safely, Niangniang can rest assured." ”
Although Princess Qin was anxious, she also knew that it was useless for her to go, so it was better to wait for Li Xiao's news here, so she sat back in her chair, nodded and said, "Then please ask General Li, this palace is here to wait for your good news." ”
Li Xiao saluted with Princess Qin, and then turned around and left the wing.
At this time, outside the Fahua Temple, Lu Wanwan and his party stopped and stood, because they accommodated her body, it took them an hour to climb the mountain, but because she was the image of a weak scholar, no one said anything, but Li Wei kept throwing contemptuous eyes at her, mocking her from head to toe.
"Sir, the people from the Qin Palace's Mansion are here." Wang Baizhou's eyes were very sharp, and he saw Li Xiao coming with soldiers from a distance, and immediately reminded Lu Wanwan in his ear.
Lu Wanwan immediately cheered up and looked at the crowd of people who came quickly.
Li Wei was obviously even more excited when he saw "his own people" coming, but there were seven or eight soldiers watching him around him, and I was afraid that he would have already broken free.
Li Xiao led people to a place five meters away from Lu Wanwan and stopped, and then glanced at Lu Wanwan with a cold look, his eyes were full of contempt and did not shy away, his gaze did not stay on Lu Wanwan for too long, he looked directly at Li Wei in the crowd, and ordered in a deep voice with the soldiers behind him: "Go and bring His Royal Highness the Prince back." ”
Those soldiers immediately received the order, and a group of people stepped forward violently, so that they would immediately use force to retrieve Li Wei.
Seeing them behaving like this, Wang Baizhou's eyes flashed with a cold light, and with a sneer, he gestured to the soldiers behind him, and the several soldiers who were originally surrounding Li Wei immediately pulled out the long knife on their waists and put it on Li Wei's neck without hesitation. Li Wei's original face was still happy, but he immediately turned blue at this moment, which was very ugly.
The soldiers under Li Xiao immediately stopped, but they also pulled out the long knives at their waists, waiting for Li Xiao's next instructions.
In such a tense situation, Lu Wanwan still smiled indifferently, raised his hands, pressed down gently, and said lightly: "Don't you all be excited, today we are here to negotiate, not to fight and kill, why bother to use knives and guns like this, it is not good to hurt harmony." After saying this, she gave Wang Baizhou a look, Wang Baizhou stared at Li Xiao opposite, snorted coldly, and then made a gesture to the soldiers behind him, they all put down the knife in their hands, Li Wei was obviously relieved, but his face was still ugly, gloomy, as if he could drip ink.
Li Xiao obviously didn't expect Wang Baizhou to listen to Lu Wanwan's words, he immediately re-examined the man who looked very weak not far away, he was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I know what you want, but if you want to take away my soldiers, you have to ask me if I agree, my soldiers, only listen to me alone, Zheng Houzhong, he is not worthy of me to surrender." ”
Lu Wanwan's eyes sank slightly when she heard this, she didn't take this situation into account, as soon as the man in front of her appeared, she knew that this was an extremely dangerous person, his eyes were like beasts, cold, with a bloodthirsty fierce light, and he was not the kind of person who condescended to others.
"You dare to say one more thing!" Wang Baizhou was obviously angered by Li Xiao's words, and stared at him with a fierce look and said hatefully.
Lu Wanwan stretched out his hand and stopped Wang Baizhou. signaled him to be calm for a while, and then quickly hid the love in his eyes, still looking at Li Xiao with a smile and saying, "This general...... It seems that there is some misunderstanding with us, so it is better for us to go in first and sit down with General Sun to have a good discussion. ”
"No need, Sun Jianying's people have already been watched by me, if you are interested, hand over His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise...... Don't blame my men for being ruthless. Li Xiao still said coldly, with a faint killing intent in his tone.
Lu Wanwan's expression finally became cautious. Because he found that the man opposite was obviously soft and hard. I'm afraid that he didn't even care much about Li Wei's safety, if he didn't care about Li Wei's life or death, with the 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands. It is indeed possible to leave the lives of these people here.
Thinking so. A hint of fierceness flashed in Lu Wanwan's eyes. It seems that she has to use some special means, otherwise it will be difficult for her to leave this Fahua Temple unharmed today.
"People...... I can put it down. However......" Lu Wanwan paused for a moment, his eyes looking directly at Li Xiao, "This general has to come and get it in person." ”
Li Xiao didn't know what tricks Lu Wanwan played, but he had enough self-confidence, and with his martial arts, these people on the other side couldn't do anything with him.
"Good!" Li Xiao nodded, and agreed to Lu Wanwan's request, and then he put his hand on the scabbard on his waist, and strode towards Lu Wanwan with a cold expression.
Wang Baizhou didn't expect Lu Wanwan to agree to release her, and immediately looked at her very anxiously, and was about to say something, but Lu Wanwan took the lead and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
Xu is Lu Wanwan's demeanor and tone were too determined, Wang Baizhou still chose to believe him, he frowned, and didn't say anything more.
When Li Xiao walked to Lu Wanwan's side, he suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in his neck, as if he had been pricked by some insect, but such a small pain was nothing to him, he didn't care too much, and took a few steps forward, suddenly, he felt that the strength on his body seemed to be drained all of a sudden, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground, and in an instant, there were many knives on his neck, but he had no resistance at all, and he had no strength in his whole body, let alone holding a knife, Even if it's a pair of chopsticks, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it up.
Li Xiao raised his head with difficulty, and saw the man with a strange smile not far away, only to see him say leisurely: "General, now I want to ask you, do you want to die?" Or are you the soldiers under you? ”
Li Xiao knew that he had fallen into the other party's plot, and looked at Lu Wanwan with a hideous expression, but he didn't open his mouth to beg for mercy, he just kept staring at Lu Wanwan, his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.
Wang Baizhou immediately stood in front of Lu Wanwan, blocked her with his body, and then glared back at Li Xiao fiercely, and mocked coldly: "The prisoner is still so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a knife!" ”
Li Xiao didn't look at Wang Baizhou, but kept staring at Lu Wanwan, and said slowly: "I don't know what name you did to me, but even if you kill me now, those soldiers under me won't listen to you." ”
"If you want to watch your soldiers die for you, I don't mind letting you watch them lose their heads." Lu Wanwan said this sentence cruelly, and he still had a slight smile on his face, but that smile made people shudder.
Wang Baizhou was also a little shocked when he heard Lu Wanwan's words, he had been a soldier for so many years, and it could be said that he had killed countless people, but he obviously didn't expect that "Mr. Lu", who seemed harmless to humans and animals, could also say such cruel words.
Li Xiao's face finally changed, and he looked at Lu Wanwan viciously like a bloodthirsty wolf, but his momentum seemed to be much weaker, and he was naturally afraid that Lu Wanwan would really do what he said.
"The general is a smart man, he should know what is best for you and me, as long as you join us, if you have any requirements, you can ask for anything, our general will definitely try his best to meet you." Lu Wan slapped a stick at night, threw out a sweet jujube, and continued with a very "amiable" expression.
Li Xiao snorted coldly and didn't say anything more, but in Lu Wanwan's opinion, he had already acquiesced, she said to those soldiers with a smile on her face: "The general is our guest, we naturally have to treat each other politely, you quickly remove the knife on his neck, the general is a person who knows the times, and he will not do anything excessive." ”
Those soldiers listened to Lu Wanwan's words and got Wang Baizhou's order, so they took away the knife on Li Xiao's neck and pulled Li Xiao up from the ground.
Li Xiao looked at Lu Wanwan, who was smiling lightly, and almost gritted his teeth, he had never seen such a cheeky person, he was weak now, she should know very well, where else to do anything excessive.
"The general will lead the way in front, and now, it is time for us to return His Royal Highness to the princess." Lu Wanwan asked the soldiers to help Li Xiao walk in the front, and said with a faint smile.
"Sir, why don't you let people kill Li Xiao, this person is not simple, and there may be a big trouble if you stay." Wang Baizhou asked softly in Lu Wanwan's ear.
Lu Wanwan only knew at this time that this man's name was Li Xiao, listening to Wang Baizhou's tone, it seemed that it was the same as she thought, this person should be a character, such a person naturally can't be killed casually, with her experience, it will definitely be useful to stay.
"Keep this person, it will be useful in the future." Lu Wanwan didn't explain much, only said lightly, as for what the use, she also had to go back and think about it.
Since Li Xiao was restrained by Lu Wanwan, Li Wei has not said a word, looking at Lu Wanwan's eyes is more complicated, and there is some fear, Li Xiao's strength, others may not understand, but as the only heir of the Qin Palace, Li Wei is very clear, even his father is not able to drive and order him at will, although Li Xiao is obedient to his father on the surface, but in fact, it is because his father used something to trade with him that he can drive him, and just now Lu Ren didn't know what means he used, It made Li Xiao have no power to fight back, which made Li Wei afraid and puzzled, but there was already a faint thought in his heart, that is, not to be an enemy of him.
Lu Wanwan naturally didn't know what Li Wei was thinking at the moment, she took her group and soon arrived at the courtyard where Princess Qin was, and the soldiers who were originally guarding around the courtyard saw Li Xiao, who was held hostage by Wang Baizhou's soldiers, their faces changed, and they didn't need Lu Wanwan to speak, so they took the initiative to get out of the way.
Lu Wanwan saw it in his eyes, knowing that these soldiers did it when they saw Li Xiao, and thought that Li Xiao had a lot of prestige among them, so he would have such a result. (To be continued......) I1292
