Xue Dingshan was captured in front of the formation, this was almost thunderous news, and it suddenly made the Tang army, which had been frustrated outside the Hanjiang Pass, feel as if it had been poured with a bucket of cold water, and one by one it was completely cold! Not to mention any morale.

On the same day, Xue Rengui, Cheng Yanjin and Xu Maogong, who were supervisors and military advisors, sent an urgent express to Suoyang City to report to Emperor Li Zhi.

In Suoyang City, Li Zhi, who already had the intention of returning to Chang'an, was delayed because the war at Hanjiang Pass was not going well. Now that he heard such a report, he was shocked and couldn't help but be angry in his heart that Xue Dingshan was useless. Before the battle, he was captured by Marshal Zhengxi, which was a great shame for Datang.

Li Zhi, who felt that his face was hot, was angry this time, and his previous dissatisfaction with Xue Dingshan's poor performance outside the Hanjiang Pass was also stimulated. Especially seeing Li Luanhu's almost front and back reports about the unclear relationship between Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua, the annoyed Li Zhi no longer has much reason to speak of. As a result, a holy decree was sent by Pegasus to the Tang Army camp outside Hanjiang Pass. The life and death of a courtier, honor and disgrace are all in the thought of the monarch!

On the morning of the third day when Xue Dingshan was captured, the sky was full of dark clouds, and the sun seemed to be a shy little girl, stingy to show a glimmer of light.

However, what was even more gloomy and sad than this weather was Xue Rengui, Xu Maogong and Cheng Yanjin sitting in the handsome tent.

"Oh, I mean, you're trying to figure it out? Just wait? Cheng Yanjin looked at Xu Maogong and Cheng Yanjin, who had a few more strands of white hair, and couldn't help but say helplessly and anxiously: "Bull's nose is old, you usually always claim to be a last resort." Don't pretend to be dumb at this time, okay? Lao Cheng begs you! ”

Xu Maogong shook his head bitterly: "Is there a last resort?" The old man is nothing now. ”

"Father, Xu Junshi, Grandpa Cheng. It can't go on like this! The morale of the sergeants is low, if we continue like this, we will collapse without a fight," Xue Jinlian hurriedly entered the tent, followed by Dou Xiantong, Shan Ximu, Ge Qing, Qin Han, Qin Ying, and Luo Zhang.

Looking at his daughter who suddenly seemed to have matured, Xue Rengui smiled bitterly and sighed: "Now that your brother is in the hands of Fan Long, what can we do?" ”

"Father. The most important thing for us now is to get my brother back first," Xue Jinlian said busily.

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but glare: "How can you save it?" Golden lotus girl. You don't want to say that you guys will go through the Hanjiang Pass again together, right? That Fan Long has a strange treasure in his hand to help, if you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to save people but will plant yourself. ”

"Grandpa Cheng, don't forget. We still have Fan Long's younger brother Fan Hu in our hands! Xue Jinlian said.

Cheng Yanjin was stunned. He patted the arm of the chair with a bright eye: "Oops! Yes! Why did the old man forget this? It is impossible for Fan Long not to care about this younger brother, with Fan Hu, he may be able to exchange for Ding Shan. ”

"Exchange Fan Hu for Ding Shan?" Xue Rengui frowned when he heard this: "If Fan Long has this intention, after catching Ding Shan, he doesn't have to wait until today." Even, he could have exchanged Luo Tong and Huaiyu for Fan Hu. ”

Xue Jinlian hurriedly said: "Father! No, you have to give it a try! ”

"It's hard!" Cheng Biting Jin, who came back to taste, also frowned and shook his head.

Dou Xiantong also helped: "Father." Grandpa Cheng, Xu Junshi. We discussed, and prepared to escort Fan Hu to the front of the two armies, and if Fan Long did not let him go, we would kill him. scares Fan Long like this, maybe he is really willing to exchange Ding Shan for Fan Hu. ”

"Fan Long is a person with a cold nature, and this plan is difficult to work!" Xu Maogong, who was silent for a while, shook his head and said.

Qin Han couldn't help but say, "How do you know if you can't do it if you don't give it a try?" Xu Junshi, we have to do our best to save the marshal back, otherwise the army's spirit will be scattered. ”

"The spirit of the army has been dispersed! Even if Ding Shan is rescued, do you think the sergeants can still trust a captured marshal? Xu Maogong looked up at Qin Han.

Qin Han, who was stunned, changed his expression slightly, but he was a little speechless for a while.

Xu Maogong shook his head and sighed lightly and closed his eyes: "Wait!" The emperor's decree to appoint a new commander should be coming soon. ”

Appointing a new manager? Xue Jinlian and the others all changed their faces when they heard this, and they turned to look at each other and were silent with slightly ugly expressions.

"If the emperor appoints a new commander, it must be Uncle Xue!" Qin Han said busily.

Qin Ying, Luo Zhang and the others also looked at each other and nodded secretly.

"Me?" Xue Rengui shook his head with a complicated look on his face and said, "The commander of the defeated army, why should he hold the handsome seal again?" ”

Cheng Yanjin couldn't help glaring at Xue Rengui: "Rengui, at this time, you can't say such frustrating words!" The great cause of conquering the west is related to the rise and fall of our Tang Dynasty, and to the long-term peace and stability of the northwest border. Since the beginning of the war, how many soldiers have spilled their blood on the battlefield. This burden is heavy, but who will carry it if you don't carry it? ”

"I understand! But," Xue Rengui frowned and shook his head.

At this moment, Li Luanhu's sonorous voice came from outside: "The last general, Li Luanhu, ask to see Xu Junshi and the two prison masters." ”

"Here we go again! This kid, he's not done yet," Cheng Yanjin was a little hateful and helpless.

Xue Jinlian sneered slightly: "Father, since he has to ask for war in the past two days, you just let him go!" With his ability, if he wants to deal with Fan Long, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Frustrate his spirit, and he will know that it is powerful. Anyway, the morale is low, but I don't care about losing again. ”

"Girl, you're wrong!" Xu Maogong, who spoke indifferently, showed a trace of inexplicability on his face, and then instructed the handsome outside: "Come in!" ”

Xu Maogong's voice fell only a few breaths, and Li Luanhu, who was dressed in military uniform, had already opened the handsome tent and walked in, his eyes casually swept over Xue Jinlian and the others, and he stepped forward and saluted: "The last general will meet Xu Junshi and the two prison masters!" ”

"You're going to fight today?" Cheng Yanjin rubbed his forehead and asked with a headache.

"Yes!" Li Luanhu replied sonorously and forcefully, and said righteously: "The marshal fell into the Hanjiang Pass, and the last general was anxious. Now the morale of the army is low, if you don't do enough to fight with Fan Long to improve morale, you are afraid that you will collapse without a fight. At that time, how to live up to the emperor's expectations and love? ”

When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied: "Don't use a big hat to crush people!" Boost morale? What if I lose again? ”

"The last general is willing to make a military order, if he is defeated, he will be dealt with by the military division and the two overseers!" Li Luanhu said solemnly.

Cheng Yanjin was stunned. looked at Li Luanhu in surprise for a while, as if he couldn't believe that this kid could say such decisive words, could he really be so confident. What hole cards don't work?

"Li Luanhu, the military order is not child's play! Are you really willing to stand? Xue Rengui looked at Li Luanhu with sharp eyes.

Li Luanhu was not timid, as if he was generous to righteousness: "The last general is determined to do so, if he is not victorious, he is willing to die in battle under the Hanjiang Pass, and the horse leather is wrapped in the body and returned, it is better than sitting here and waiting for death." ”

Listening to Li Luanhu's words of scolding Huai. Xue Rengui, Cheng Yanjin, and Xu Maogong looked immobile for a while, but they gritted their teeth with anger at Xue Jinlian and the others. This guy is a little too rampant!

"Good! Today. This military division will allow you to make a military order! Xu Maogong, whose eyes were squinted, was slightly silent before he looked up at Li Luanhu, his deep gaze revealing an inexplicable sharp taste.

Eyes touched, Li Luanhu was a little weak-hearted and hurriedly lowered his head and retracted his gaze. A flash of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes. He replied loudly: "Thank you, Strategist!" The last general will live up to the high expectations of the military division, and this time he will definitely win. However, there is still one more requirement before the final general can play. ”

"Speak!" Xu Maogong's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said indifferently.

Li Luanhu, who took a slight breath, hurriedly said: "The last general wants to press Fan Hu to go outside the Hanjiang Pass and try to see if he can save the marshal." Forget the military advisor to agree! ”

"Save my brother? Li Luanhu, do you have such a good heart? Xue Jinlian couldn't help but sneer.

Li Luanhu said with a straight face: "I admit that I am dissatisfied with the marshal, and that is because Luanhu was young and frivolous before. Speaking of which. I don't have a deep grudge against the marshal, we both serve the country. Loyal to the country. The capture of the marshal is a humiliation for the three armies and a humiliation for my Datang. If we don't save the marshal, how can the morale of our three armies be raised? ”

Li Luanhu's words were righteous and impeccable, and Xue Jinlian couldn't help but be speechless for a while, so she had to snort coldly and didn't say much, but not Xue Jinlian, even Dou Xiantong, Luo Zhang, etc. didn't believe Li Luanhu's words in their hearts.

Xu Maogong, Xue Rengui, and Cheng Yanjin looked at each other, and when they saw Cheng Yanjin shrugging his shoulders and not saying a word, Xue Rengui frowned and nodded hesitantly, then he turned to look at Li Luanhu with a calm expression: "Okay!" This military division promises you! ”

"Thank you, Strategist! The last general went to the whole army to call for battle outside Hanjiang Pass," Li Luanhu said and hurriedly received the military order, and turned around and left the tent.

After Li Luanhu left, Xue Jinlian couldn't help but hurriedly say to Xu Mao: "Military advisor, how can you promise Li Luanhu?" He obviously has ulterior motives! ”

"Yes! Military advisor, we suspect that Ding Shan was captured this time, I am afraid that Li Luan and Hudu "Dou Xiantong is also busy.

However, before he finished speaking, Xu Maogong's eyes became fierce: "Xiantong, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"That's it! Needless to say! Xue Rengui also frowned and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stand down!" ”

Xue Jinlian had no choice but to take Dou Xiantong and them out of the tent.

Seeing their backs disappear at the door of the handsome tent, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but say: "The old man bets that they will definitely fight with the Hanjiang Pass." ”

"Strategist, what do you mean?" Xue Rengui looked at Xu Maogong and frowned, puzzled.

Xu Maogong's eyes narrowed and he slowly spoke: "I also want to know what Li Luanhu means!" In this battle, I'm afraid that every qiē will surface. ”

"Bullnose old man, you expected it, and you still play dumb riddles with us?" Cheng Yanjin said dissatisfied.

Xu Maogong, whose eyes were slightly closed, shook his head and looked bitter: "Even if it is an immortal, it is difficult to completely anticipate the enemy's opportunity." I've guessed some, but I'm not sure yet. But if that's the case."

Outside Hanjiang Pass, his slightly sideways gaze swept over Xue Jinlian, Dou Xiantong and others who were riding and mane and sitting on horseback not far behind, Li Luanhu, whose eyes flashed slightly, turned to look at Hanjiang Pass, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of inexplicable arc, and shouted loudly: "Fan Long!" Let's go out and fight! Do you want to be a turtle with a shrunken head all the time? ”

"Li Luanhu! You marshals have all been caught by me, and you dare to come, I really admire your courage," Lang Lang's voice sounded like thunder from the Hanjiang Pass, and I saw a phantom rising from the Hanjiang Pass like lightning, dodging and falling on the Hanjiang Pass, turning into Fan Long in a dark golden uniform and holding a golden sword.

His eyes swept through the gate like electricity. Fan Long couldn't help but draw a disdainful sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Why, so many people are here?" Do you want to win by ido? ”

"Humph! Fan Long, don't be too confident. If you don't rely on the treasure, you may not be able to win against me if you really fight with real swords and guns. Don't worry, I'm the only one in the battle today! Why, you don't dare to fight like this? Li Luanhu snorted coldly and said with a sarcastic tone.

When Fan Long heard this, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed, and after a burst of laughter, he suddenly restrained his laughter, lowered his head and looked down at Li Luanhu outside the gate and said coldly: "Li Luanhu." Xue Dingshan and I have been captured alive, let alone you! Since you have come to die today, I will fulfill you. ”

After speaking. Fan Long jumped up directly from the Hanjiang Pass, the golden sword in his hand was golden, and the sharp golden sword was seven or eight meters long, as if cutting through the space, slashing towards Li Luanhu.

"Humph!" Li Luanhu flew up to meet him with the Soul Devouring Golden Knife in his hand without showing any fear. It's also a knife split.

With a bang, two sword lights collided in mid-air. The fierce energy made the void tremble, and a violent and terrifying energy storm rolled out in all directions.

In the faint sound of the knife, Li Luanhu, who was slightly wolf-like, flew up again with great momentum.

"Huh?" Fan Long, who stepped back in mid-air, frowned slightly, his hands holding the golden war knife trembled slightly, and a little purple light appeared at the center of his eyebrows, making his slightly pale face quickly return to blood.

The faint sound of high-frequency knife sounds sounded. Wherever the Soul Eater Golden Knife passed, the space seemed to match the frequency of the knife's tremors. A faintly visible spatial crack appeared, and what looked simple was actually extremely powerful with a strange soul attack method and slashed directly at Fan Long.

"Drink!" The purple mangs in the center of the eyebrows seemed to form a purple eyeball-like Fan Long, and a purple light at the center of the eyebrows shot towards Li Luanhu like lightning, and at the same time, it was also an unceremonious slash.

The two of them, whose bodies trembled almost at the same time, were both lost in a moment.

And the two sword lights, before they completely collided together, the condensed energy made the void twist, accompanied by a dazzling sword, a dull roar sounded, and the void shook.

Li Luanhu, who was scorning the wolf bèi and flew back, plunged the soul-devouring golden knife in his hand into the opposite side and dragged a deep trace, only then did he stabilize his figure, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth that trembled, and his face turned pale.

On the other side, the wolf fell on the stone platform that was touched at the upper end of the Hanjiangguan suspension bridge, and the soles of his feet left two footprints and dense crack marks on the stone platform, and the heavy shoulder armor was torn by the breath, and a blood-colored knife mark was constantly oozing blood.

"How? Fan Long, how does my God-Devouring Sword Qi taste? Li Luanhu stood up slightly and grinned at Fan Long.

Fan Long, who gritted his teeth and stood up, fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned red, but he stared at Li Luanhu coldly without speaking.

Seeing the two of them fighting so hard, Xue Jinlian, Dou Xiantong, Shan Ximu and others looked at each other, all of them were slightly surprised.

"Fan Long, the Soul Devouring Knife Qi has entered the body, and that kind of torture is not comfortable. I can help you relieve the pain of sword qi, as long as you release my Marshal Xue, how about it? Li Luanhu said with a confident smile.

When Xue Jinlian and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at Fan Long with a glint in their eyes, and they held their breath nervously.

Still looking at Li Luanhu coldly, Fan Long, who had been silent for a while with his eyes squinted, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth tremblingly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Dreaming!" ”

"Really?" Li Luanhu smiled noncommittally and waved his hand back slightly.

Suddenly, several sturdy soldiers of the Tang Army pressed Fan Hu, who was tied up and sturdy, looking haggard.

"Second brother!" When Fan Long saw Fan Hu, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he was a little excited, and he wanted to come forward.

When Fan Hu saw Fan Long's appearance, he couldn't help grinning and showing a rebellious smile, and said loudly with a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "Big brother, leave me alone!" Kill Xue Dingshan, kill him, and vent your anger for me! ”

"Even if you don't kill him, you have to kill Na Luo Tong or Qin Huaiyu and break them into pieces!" Fan Hu was like a sleepy tiger, looking crazy and tyrannical, and suddenly struggled, so that the few strong Tang army sergeants who were pressing him could barely suppress him.

Listening to Fan Hu's words, he took a deep breath with his eyes slightly closed, and Fan Long, whose complexion changed for a while, suddenly gritted his teeth and nodded after a while: "Okay!" Li Luanhu, let my brother go, and I will return Xue Dingshan to you. ”

"Big brother!" When Fan Hu heard this, his face suddenly changed and he struggled.

Li Luanhu smiled, and there was some inexplicable taste in his smile: "Fan Long, since this is the case, let's be more refreshing." This is the elixir that dissolves the Soul Devouring Sword Qi. ”

After speaking, Li Luanhu waved his hand and threw a gray-black elixir towards Fan Long.

Fan Long, who raised his hand to catch it, squinted at the pill and looked at it carefully, and seemed to be a little uncertain for a while.

"What? Afraid that what I gave you was a fake elixir? Li Luanhu couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"Humph!" Fan Long, who snorted coldly, threw it directly into his mouth with a slight flash of eyes, and then closed his eyes to refine and feel the medicinal effect of the elixir, and after a while, he opened his eyes with a slightly relieved sigh of relief.

The bleeding wound on his shoulder quickly stopped, and Fan Long, who took a deep breath, couldn't help but look up at Li Luanhu who was smiling: "You can still talk about the rules!" Okay, I'll release Xue Dingshan first. ”

As he spoke, Li Luanhu flipped his hand, and a small cyan gourd appeared on the palm of his hand, and then opened the mouth of the gourd, and a cyan smoke escaped out, turning into Xue Dingshan, who was bound by cyan energy chains and seemed confused for a while, and fell on the ground on the side.

"Brother!" "Ding Shan!" "Brother Ding Shan!" Xue Jinlian, Dou Xiantong, Luo Zhang and others were all excited when they saw this.

Seeing this, Li Luanhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand: "Untie General Fan Hu!" ”

"Humph!" After being lifted from the rope on his body by the sturdy soldier on the side, Fan Hu, who had moved his wrist, snorted coldly and was about to walk towards the opposite side.

"General Fan Hu, what's the hurry?" Taking a step sideways, Li Luanhu, who was in front of Fan Hu with the Soul Devouring Golden Knife in his hand, said indifferently.

Fan Hu, who clasped his hands together, looked at Li Luanhu with a grim face, his eyes like a burning fireball.

Fan Long, who was slightly hesitant on the opposite side, pinched the seal like lightning under Li Luanhu's smiling gaze, and turned the cyan energy chain of Xue Dingshan's expression into a green smoke into the cyan gourd. (To be continued......)
