In the middle of the east city of Suoyang City, Daoist Jin Yan looked at Su Bao and the wolf bèi slightly, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Humph!" His face was slightly cold, and a dark color flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand to sacrifice the dark golden divine sword. The sword light broke through the air, and the void rippled like the surface of the water, and a faint spatial crack appeared.

The dull sound of gold and iron clashing sounded, and the dark golden divine sword stabbed the shield magic weapon that protected Li Zhi, shaking it violently, and the light shook faintly and flew backwards, just touching Li Zhi, causing his wolf to fall to the ground on his back.

"Oops!" Li Zhi, who frowned and screamed in pain, touched his forehead with one hand and was about to get up, but a golden sword light shot directly towards his face.

"No!" Li Zhi suddenly changed color, his eyes froze, and he didn't have time to dodge.

"Your Majesty!" The surrounding soldiers all exclaimed in surprise, and their pale faces showed shocked looks. Once the Emperor is killed, those of them who protect the Emperor will be in bad luck.

"Your Majesty!" Xue Dingshan, who was outside the city, also realized that something was wrong at the moment when the shield magic weapon was knocked away, and suddenly turned his head to see this scene, and he couldn't help but exclaim with a big change in his face, and he flashed towards the city. However, with the speed of that sword light, Xue Dingshan had no time to save people at all.

also saw this scene, Shan Ximu and Jiang Hu, who were sitting on horseback, also changed their faces.

Shan Ximu's speed was faster than Zhijiang Hu and even Xue Dingshan, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't catch up with the sword light. At the same time as the dodge flew up from the horse's back, Shan Ximu put his fingers together. A white cold light shot directly towards the city, trying to stop the golden sword light.

'Snort' At the moment when the golden sword light was about to hit Li Zhi's face, the white cold and cold light also happened to hit the weak point of the sword light's energy. The two fierce energies quickly dissolved into each other, looking silent, but the space around them was a little distorted.

Almost immediately after, a dark golden phantom flashed in front of Li Zhi, and a dark golden war knife was also a knife that blocked the two fierce mangs.

The explosion of 'boom' furious energy sounded, and almost at the moment when the blade of the war knife touched the two sword lights, the two energies that seemed to be in a stalemate and balance before became violent and uncontrollable. The surging waters dispersed.

The energy that escaped swept away, and all the soldiers around him who were affected collapsed and turned into pools of white bones and flesh. Blood flowed all over the ground, a thick bloody aura spread, and the screams of the soldiers before they died echoed in the air.

Seeing this scene, Shan Ximu's face changed. couldn't help frowning, and looked at Li Zhi with a slightly meaningful gaze in front of him, looking like he was waiting for it. Li Luanhu, who was also a little wolf bèi by the escaping energy, and his clothes and hair were messy.

"Humph!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an inexplicable arc with Li Luanhu and quietly exchanged a look with Li Luanhu, who was the head of the Jinyan Daoist who directly dodged and killed Li Luanhu, and the dark golden divine sword in his hand turned into a sharp golden sword light, as if it was about to tear the space.

Li Luanhu did not show weakness, and flashed forward to meet the fierce golden sword light with a war knife in his hand.

The sound of the 'clanging' gold and iron clashing sounded, and the sharp sword qi and sword light escaped, leaving traces on the city. At the same time that Jin Yandao Changfei was thrown into the air, Li Luanhu also staggered back with a shock. In front of Li Zhi, he suddenly stopped retreating, and a mouthful of blood with a flushed face spurted out of his mouth, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Little General! Quick, kill this demon for me! Reacting, looking at the bloody hellish scene around him, Li Zhi, who had palpitations, couldn't help but shout in a pale trembling voice.

However, as soon as he finished his slightly stumbling sentence, he saw Li Luanhu vomiting blood and flying back, and he couldn't help but ask with a change in complexion: "Little general, are you okay?" ”

Now Li Luanhu has become a lifesaver in Li Zhi's hands, if he doesn't use it, won't he be finished?

"Your Majesty, rest assured! It's okay! With a minister here, even if he can't kill that demon Dao, he definitely won't let him hurt the emperor," Li Luanhu said busily.

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but nod with relief in his heart: "Okay!" The little general is loyal and brave! ”

"Your Majesty, I will get rid of this demon for you at the end!" A cold shout sounded, but Shan Ximu had already flown in his hand and killed Jinyan Dao Chief, who had stabilized his figure in mid-air, and his face was slightly red.

Hearing this shout, Li Zhi suddenly looked at Shan Ximu with his eyes shining brightly.

And Li Luanhu, who was protecting Li Zhi, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shan Ximu with a slight frown, and a faint gloomy color flashed in his eyes. For this guy whose strength is unfathomable and who seriously injured him on the chessboard mountain, Li Luanhu gritted his teeth and hated and was jealous.

"Huh?" Daoist Jinyan, who frowned, looked at Shan Ximu who was killing him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth with cold eyes hooked up a trace of Sen Ran: "Nameless junior, dare to do something with me?" Since you are looking for death, then don't blame the poor and ruthless! ”

Jin Yan Dao Chang, who sneered and disdainfully in his heart, did not show any mercy when he moved, the sharp golden sword light flashed, and the space was slightly distorted as if it was about to be cut in half, and he wanted to cut Shan Ximu in half with a sword.

The long lance in the hand of 'Keng' seemed to block the golden sword light at will, and the dark golden long sword that the golden sword light dissipated and turned into, and the space where the weapons were exchanged suddenly distorted, and the terrifying energy was restrained.

"What?" Jin Yandao's expression froze, and then he looked at Shan Ximu with slightly shrunken eyes: "He's a monk?" ”

The corners of his mouth hooked up the arc of a sneer, and the long lance in his hand shook suddenly, which made the chief of Jinyan Dao staggered back, and then the long lance in his hand flipped and was delivered, stabbing the chest of the chief of Jinyan Dao.

"Bastard!" The Jinyan Dao Chief, who reacted, blocked the long lance with the dark golden long sword in his hand like lightning, and when he retreated with his strength, he was covered in golden light, and the dazzling golden light poured into the dark golden long sword, and the dark golden long sword was slightly trembling with a more restrained light, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate with the frequency of tremors. It's like he's going along with it.

Seeing this, Shan Ximu, who had just taken a step in the void, couldn't help but hold a long lance with his eyes narrowed and waited for him. The cold white light loomed above the lance, as if it was about to freeze the void.

"Golden Sword Splitting Sky Slash!" The Golden Rock Dao Chief, who was covered in golden light and dazzling, shouted sharply with his eyes, and swung the dark golden long sword towards Shan Ximu with both hands.

As soon as the sword came out, the void was blurred, and an illusory sword light could be faintly seen passing through the space and coming to Shan Ximu.

'Hum' the void trembled, and the long lance in Shan Ximu's hand seemed to move slowly. However, it caused the surrounding voids to respond, and they met the illusory sword light together.

Before the sword light touched the lance, it seemed to be under an invisible binding force, and its speed was drastically reduced. But it still tore through the space and collided with the long lance in Shan Ximu's hand, and the fierce sword qi collapsed, which also shook away a layer of cold white energy on the long lance.

The low sound of gold and iron clashing echoed in mid-air, and it seemed so clear and audible. On the contrary, the terrifying energy collided with each other, but there was hardly a sound. I saw that the void around the lance shook and twisted. The fierce energy seemed to pour into the void and vanished without a trace.

The long lance was shocked, and Shan Ximu, who trembled with the tight hand of the long lance, took a few steps back with a slightly staggering volley before stabilizing his figure, and turned to look at the Jinyan Dao Chief, who was a little wolf and flew away, his face was pale, and his breath was vain. This guy's 'Golden Sword Splitting Sky Slash' is indeed very powerful!

"What?" Daoist Jinyan, who stabilized his figure, couldn't help but feel a little incredulous when he saw that Shan Ximu took his proud blow more easily than his own attacking side.

Li Luanhu in the city, his eyes were also shrunk with disbelief: "Shan Ximu! His strength is so terrifying? It was able to block the 'Golden Sword Cracking the Void'. How can it be? ”

"So, when he fought against me. Haven't you done your best? Li Luanhu, who clasped his hands together, felt a burst of shame and unwillingness in his heart. He thought that he was extremely outstanding among the younger generation, and he didn't even pay attention to Xue Dingshan. Xue Dingshan is just that, and it took a lot of effort to defeat him, and there was some luck factor. However, Shan Ximu, who seems to be a few years older than him and Xue Dingshan, is at least one level higher than them in strength, how can this calm the heart of Li Luanhu, who has always been arrogant?

And Li Zhi, who was protected by him, couldn't help but say with a look of surprise on his scorching and shining face: "Okay!" Haha, I've added another brave general to Datang! ”

Listening to Li Zhi's admiration with a strong taste of surprise, Li Luanhu's heart was even more unpleasant. Originally, these compliments should belong to him!

"Shan Ximu!" The jealousy in his heart made Li Luanhu's hatred for Shan Ximu deeper, and the murderous intent loomed in his eyes.

Shan Ximu, who seemed to be aware, glanced at Li Luanhu slightly sideways in mid-air, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, and he flew towards Jinyan Daoist again with a long lance in his hand.

clearly saw that the corners of Shan Ximu's mouth showed a disdainful sneer, and Li Luanhu gritted his teeth even more, and his lungs were about to explode.

The sound of the sonorous weapons clashing, the violent energy explosion continued to come from the air, only to see the sword light in the sky, the shadow flashing, a fierce battle.

"Haha, let's die!" In the hearty laughter, the shadow of the lance passed directly through the sword qi light curtain and landed on the golden phantom.

'Poof' A mouthful of blood spurted out of the Jinyan Dao Chief, like a broken sandbag, flew out upside down, and looked at Shan Ximu with palpitations, and his face was slightly distorted in his heart with a burst of anger and unwillingness, but he didn't dare to fight with Shan Ximu again, and at the same time he flew back, he decisively flew towards the distant sky with his strength.

"I think you'd better stay!" Shan Ximu, who snorted coldly, dodged faster and chased after him, and he was about to catch up in the blink of an eye, and at the same time, the cold white energy on the long lance in his hand was also thickened.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up by Shan Ximu, Daoist Jin Yan suddenly gritted his teeth and a touch of madness flashed in his eyes, and the blood light on his trembling body flashed, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in blood-colored flames.

"Bloody?" Shan Ximu, whose figure stopped for a moment, couldn't help frowning slightly, and then shook his head and smiled: "It's really decisive enough." However, such a quick blood escape. The price I paid was much worse than when I was seriously injured before! ”

As he spoke, Shan Ximu turned around and flew towards the east city of Suoyang City.

"Minister Xue Dingshan (Jiang Hu) see the emperor! The ministers are too late to save the driver, please ask the emperor to surrender! Xue Dingshan and Jiang Hu also came to the city early and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi watched Shan Ximu defeat Daoist Jinyan. But he was in a good mood and waved his hand and said: "Two Aiqing, you are fighting outside the city, I see it in my eyes, what is the crime?" Come, all of you! ”

"Ding Shan, good! Sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog! Looking at Xue Dingshan, who stood up respectfully and stood with a lofty instrument, Li Zhi couldn't help but nod with a slight light in his eyes.

"The last general, Shan Ximu, see the emperor!" Shan Ximu also fell down at this time. With a slight hesitation, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Zhi with a fist.

turned to look at Li Zhi, who was looking at Shan Ximu, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "Shan Ximu? Good! I don't know that there are still such brave generals in my Tang Army. General Shan. Today, you're doing a great job! Although he didn't kill the demon Dao, he forced the wolf to retreat, which was also very happy! There is General Shan in the army. I believe that the demon road will never dare to come again. ”

Li Zhi praised Xue Dingshan and Shan Ximu one after another. seemed to like the two of them very much, and couldn't help but make Li Luanhu on the side feel even more jealous, and looked at Shan Ximu and Li Luanhu with eyes as sharp as knives.

"Of course! Today, it is all up to this little general to protect him loyally, otherwise I am afraid that I will be killed by that demon way. I must reward you for your work! By the way, I don't know what the little general is called? Li Zhi said and turned to look at Li Luanhu with a smile.

When Li Luanhu heard this, he hurriedly retracted his gaze and saluted respectfully: "Brother Li Luanhu sees the emperor!" ”

"Brother?" Li Zhi was stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "Who is your father?" ”

"Back to the emperor, my father is Li Shenzong, the king of Dingjiang!" Li Luanhu said.

When Li Zhi heard this, he suddenly realized. With a deeper smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Okay!" I don't want to be Uncle Wang's son Luan Huxian. I have long heard that the virtuous brother has worshipped the master as a teacher since he was a child and went to learn art. Really. What a good learner! Among my Li royal family, the virtuous brother should be the first strong general. ”

Obviously, Li Zhi, who knew Li Luanhu's identity, liked and valued this distant cousin even more.

While the two of them were talking, Shan Ximu had already come to the unconscious Xu Maogong's side first, carefully examined him, and then frowned.

"How? Xu Junshi, "Jiang Hu and Xue Dingshan were also busy stepping forward.

Shan Ximu shook his head and sighed lightly: "Although Xu Junshi has also practiced some methods of qi cultivation and self-cultivation, he is not a martial artist after all, and he is also old. This time the injury is really not light, and the five internal organs are damaged, so I'm afraid."

"Xu Aiqing!" Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to look at the unconscious Xu Maogong worriedly, turned to look at Shan Ximu and asked anxiously: "General Shan, you seem to know some medical skills, is there a way to treat Xu Junshi?" ”

"This" Shan Ximu groaned slightly, then reached out and took out a small white jade bottle from his arms and said: "This is the healing medicine given to me by the family teacher, it should be able to help Xu Junshi relieve his injuries and save his life." ”

As he spoke, Shan Ximu hurriedly poured out a snow-white pill the size of a bean grain and exuding a cold and fragrant aroma from the small jade bottle, gently opened Xu Maogong's chin, and sent it into Xu Maogong's mouth.

The pill entered his abdomen, and under the nervous gaze of everyone, Xu Maogong's originally weak and short breathing became slightly stronger and calmer, and his face slowly improved.

"It worked!" Seeing this, Li Zhi was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "General Shan's elixir is really effective!" ”

Seeing this, Shan Ximu also breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "Your Majesty, Xu Junshi should be fine." However, it is necessary to rest and recuperate, at least half a month, and at most two or three months to fully recover. ”

"Good!" Li Zhi nodded and sighed: "These days, Xu Junshi has replaced Marshal Xue in charge of the army, and he is really tired of hard work. He has done his best for my Tang Dynasty all his life, and now he is really for me."

Li Zhi shook his head lightly as he spoke, his eyes a little red. This appearance, whether it is true or not, makes the hearts of several people around him slightly warm. He who is a courtier can be treated like this by the monarch, and it is not in vain to be loyal.

"Marshal Xue, Su Baotong is going to escape, and you won't let your people take advantage of the victory to pursue you? Do you want to let the tiger go back to the mountains? An abrupt voice sounded, but it was Li Luanhu who looked at Xue Dingshan with sharp eyes and sneered.

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads to look outside the city, and sure enough, they saw that Su Baotong and the Iron Plate Daoist were quickly heading towards the west with the remnants of the defeated army, panicking like a lost dog.

"Yes, you can't let the tiger go back to the mountain! Ding Shan! Li Zhi, whose eyes flashed sharply, couldn't help but hurriedly speak.

Without waiting for Xue Dingshan to respond, Shan Ximu on the side surrendered his hand and asked: "Your Majesty!" Now that Suoyang City has just been relieved, a big battle has come down, and someone is about to deal with the aftermath. Xu Junshi was seriously injured, and only Marshal Xue could preside over the overall situation here. The last general asked for orders and led an elite cavalry to chase and kill Su Baotong. ”

Li Zhi glanced at Shan Ximu, nodded and said, "It's okay!" General Shan, pursue quickly! ”

"Yes!" Shan Ximu, who answered the call, jumped down from the city with a long lance in his hand, and at the same time, the clear voice spread like rolling thunder throughout the battlefield outside the city: "The vanguard cavalry gathers and goes with the general to hunt down the Su thief!" ”

As he spoke, Shan Ximu had already landed on the back of his mount on the battlefield outside the city, and rode his horse towards the battlefield.

Shan Ximu, who took the lead, was like a benchmark banner, attracting scattered or dozens of cavalry galloping together on the entire battlefield, and when he left the battlefield, he gathered a full two or three thousand elite cavalry teams.

Li Zhi, who was watching this scene in the city, couldn't help but nod with a smile on his face: "This Shan Ximu, he really has a good set of leading troops!" ”

"The emperor doesn't know, this Shan Ximu is the leader of the bandits on Qipan Mountain, there are tens of thousands of bandits under him, how fierce he is, and he is very majestic in the northwest!" Li Luanhu said suddenly.

Bandits? Tens of thousands of thieves? Li Zhi couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this.

Seeing this, Xue Dingshan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! Although this Shan Ximu is a thief, his father and ancestors are also a generation of heroes, and his grandfather is Shan Xiongxin of the Wagang Five Tigers. His father was also killed in the battle of the imperial court to conquer the Northern Desert. Shan Ximu's family fell in the middle of the road, and he had no choice but to fall into the grass. This time, I heard that the army of our court came to Suoyang City to rescue the driver, and after my persuasion, I led the people to submit to the army of the court. (To be continued......)
