Chapter 288: Mistakes are mistakes
The old man's wrist twisted and easily broke the neck of the unlucky Praetorian guard, and the man did not lose it immediately, but tried to struggle to get up after falling to the ground. Unfortunately, his skull, which he tried so hard to lift, could only hang helplessly, his hands scratching in the void, as if he wanted to seek the last ray of life.
The black-robed old man stared intently at the man on the high platform, he had been severely injured in the battle just now, and almost all the black-armored iron corpses died outside the "Jianghu" hall. If he hadn't taken the secret medicine and took the opportunity to escape, I'm afraid he would have been torn to pieces by those people.
Why did a perfect start usher in such an ironic turn, Kuma, who was already in his hands to win, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips that were dry from extreme bloodlust, and his eyes became blood-red due to bloodshot.
Jiu Mo didn't make any further moves, because a large number of forbidden army guards suddenly poured out from both sides of Li Yanyun, blocking in front of him. Hasuma suddenly "giggled" and laughed, but the laughter was too bleak and pervasive, and in this moonlit night, it sounded a little oozing and terrifying.
Li Yanyun frowned slightly, raised his hand to signal the forbidden army guards who were blocking him to make a way, and asked with some confusion, "You are not dead yet?" ”
Gu Mo shook the sleeves of his robe, held his head high, and was still as energetic as when he stood on the top of the famous mountain yesterday, but at this time he was alone, and some were alone. But he was still not afraid at all, turning a blind eye to the elite soldiers and strong generals in front of him, staring at Li Yanyun with straight eyes, and said loudly: "You are not dead yet, how can the old man be willing to die easily?" ”
After speaking, he took a step forward, and the forbidden army guards of twenty or thirty people tacitly retreated, and none of them dared to step forward to try. Xu was too fierce when the old man appeared just now, which made these forbidden army guards who seemed to be shrewd and strong, but in fact pampered, frightened.
Although it is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, these forbidden army guards cannot be compared with those soldiers who are exposed to the wind and sun in the north of the desert and lick the blood from the knife edge. But Li Yanyun still didn't care, he felt that such a disparity in strength was enough.
It's a pity that he didn't know that the old man in the black robe regarded him as another person, the one who would be killed in this raid.
Li Yanyun only knew that everyone who came to commit at this time deserved to die, and anyone who prevented him from reaching the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan should die. But until this time, the lord of the country, Li Cunqing, still did not appear, and there was Nalan, the owner of the Mingyue Building.
He only knew that Li Cunqiao left the palace rashly, and there was no news.
But the scene at the moment was seen by the people he had always remembered, and he was happy.
Li Cunmiao stood in the corridor under the high platform, the candles were all extinguished, and only silence remained. He stared intently at the face that was somewhat similar to him, and said with some emotion: "Nalan, what do you say if I stand now?" ”
"Nine deaths, one life." It's still an indifferent smile, but there is a little more indifference in this indifference.
"Really? This remnant of the Immeasurable City, has such means? Can you take Li Yanyun's head among the forbidden army? Isn't it an exaggeration? Li Cunmiao was noncommittal, but he still couldn't help but want to seek answers from Nalan.
After all, today, among the post-Tang rivers and lakes, the first person in force is Nalan. His words can at least prove some people and things from the side, as they do now.
"Yes, because his life is short, and he has to fight to the death." Nalan was still the same, but there was a crescent moon in his eyebrows, shining brightly.
Li Cunmiao didn't notice the change in Nalan, he didn't turn around, but leaned his body slightly against the pillar and looked at the high platform. Li Yanyun was horrified at this time, for some reason, he clearly noticed that someone was secretly observing him, this kind of gaze was so persistent, as if waiting for the moment of his death.
And the gaze of the black-robed old man in front of him was even hotter, the kind of thirst for his life. It seems that when the old man's dry palm penetrates his chest, the old man can truly be liberated.
Gu Mo took another step forward, his eyes were full of resentment, Li Yanyun seemed to be a little tired, but there was no table or chair on this high platform for him to breathe. He has claimed to be indifferent to the world over the years, but in fact, he has been planning painstakingly and lonely. But in order to deceive the eyes and ears around him, he indulged in lust and wasted time.
This method of almost self-harm did play a certain role at the beginning, making Li Cunqiao almost believe him. If it weren't for the many changes in the reception of Yichu season, Li Cunqiao would have let down his guard.
But Li Yanyun, after all, was one of the thirteen Taibao, starting from the Great Jin Dynasty, leading the troops all the way to the east and west, which can be regarded as a great achievement. Therefore, Li Cunmiao kept him by his side and did not send him to the border like others, because Li Yanyun was Li Cunmiao's only brother.
This kind of fetters of flesh and blood affection has largely caused too many entanglements and contradictions in Li Cunmiao's heart, which should not have been kept, but had to stay. If there was no Li Yanyun, Li Cunqiao would have already become a loner.
But Li Yanyun never stopped coveting the position of the lord of many countries, and even did not hesitate to unite with foreign countries to remember Chu, which made Li Cunmiao completely disappointed.
Now that these two people are in such a situation, they are in line with Li Cunmiao's wishes. Since you can't cut off the threat with your own hands, then borrowing someone else's hand to do it for you is not a violation of the ancestral teachings.
"Brothers and sisters cannot kill each other, brothers cannot turn against each other, and the general trend of the world can be worry-free for eternity." These ancestral precepts, after Li Cunqiao ascended to the throne of the country, slowly became indifferent until they were completely forgotten in his heart.
And his other twelve brothers are estimated to have long forgotten all about it.
Gu Mo's pressing step by step made Li Yanyun feel an unprecedented threat, and Wang Qi, the chief eunuch in the Zhengying Palace, was staring at everything intently at this time. He finally understood why Li Cunmiao chose to leave the palace at this time, and why he tore off the heavy guards here, leaving him alone.
Because, Li Cunmiao wants Wang Itch to witness this moment, if no one proves it, then Li Cunmiao will definitely be infamous for "killing his brother" through the ages, and it will also cause a new round of civil strife in the Later Tang Dynasty. At this time, in the eight counties and sixteen mansions of the four states of the Tang Dynasty, there were already people who were ready to move, eyeing each other.
Li Yanyun couldn't help but stumble a little when he retreated, maybe the night wind was too fast, and his stamina rose after drinking, which made him a little flustered.
Haruma grinned again, crossed his hands over his chest, closed his eyes, and muttered to himself. At the end of his words, he raised his arms to the sky and let out a roar.
Li Yanyun looked at the strange scene in front of her, puzzled, and didn't know what kind of unbelievable thing this person was doing. At this time, Li Cunqing, who was also watching all this, also asked the same question, "Nalan, this person is acting grotesquely, isn't he already crazy?" ”
"No, it's an ancient ritual that he will use his life to fulfill a promise." Nalan seemed to know a thing or two about this ritual, because there was no indifference in the words, only disgust and indifference.
"Really? Then there's a good show. Li Cunmiao didn't seem to be interested in this ceremony, but was looking forward to the next moment of the black-robed old man's desperate blow.
After Kuma withdrew his hand, his eyes suddenly exerted force, and his palms made knives towards the heads of the two people in front of him. Hearing only two explosions, the heads of the two guards of the forbidden army exploded like watermelons that had been smashed open. The rest of the forbidden guards no longer dared to have the slightest support, and shouted angrily in their mouths, and cut them when they drew their swords.
Kuma had fallen into a madness by this time, and his arms began to bulge rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a torture stick. When the horizontal knives of the remaining guards of the forbidden army slashed at it, they were bounced away one after another, and they were powerless to parry. And everyone is even more cracked, dripping with blood.
Gu Mo shook the person in front of him away with a flick of his arms, and rushed towards Li Yanyun quickly. Li Yanyun retreated quickly, retreated to the end of the high platform, turned around and looked at the audience, and was already shocked in his heart.
It seems that this step is still inappropriate, and when Ge Lao is gone, he should have thought that Luoyang City is not as simple as imagined at this time. But at this time, this crazy man is menacing, and he still needs to solve the trouble in front of him.
The corners of Li Yanyun's mouth twitched slightly, as if she had a plan to deal with it.
At this time, Li Yanyun, who had no way to retreat, suddenly closed her eyes, looking like she was willing to die. And the remnants of the Immeasurable City, which had almost gone mad, were close at hand at this time. Behind him, the guards of the forbidden army under Li Yanyun's command were already frightened, and if Li Yanyun was allowed to die here, their splendid glory would be gone.
The desire for fame and fortune in their hearts has long surpassed life and death, but they are still one step slower, and there is only a thin line between Jiu Mo and Li Yanyun......
At this moment, a rough and heroic laugh rose from under the high platform and resounded between the heavens and the earth. Kuma was disturbed by the laughter and was briefly distracted. With such a slight hesitation, a ragged and unkempt old man fell from the sky, landed between the two, and then knocked Kuma away with one palm.
The person who came was none other than Gu Xing and the others.
At this time, he took the lead in jumping onto the high platform and rescued Li Yanyun at the last moment, and the grandmaster's demeanor was fully revealed. His "stepping on the clouds" not only caught Hatama by surprise, but even everyone who traveled with him was taken aback.
You must know that just now Feng Zhengyang was walking with them on the Yellow Spring Underworld, but now he jumped into the high platform, and saved a person, I don't know what I wanted.
And when Li Cunmiao, who was watching everything in front of him with relish, saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh, "Why did this old immortal come to stir up the troubled waters at this time?" This questioning sentence did not attract Nalan's attention, but he had already clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the three people on the high platform for his next move.
At this time, Gu Xing and the others finally walked out of the ladder paved by the Huangquan Underworld, stood under the high platform and looked up, just climbing up to reach the final goal, but the wind that had been crazy was rising, but they suddenly made a move, making the current situation even more confusing.
Li Yanyun slowly opened his eyes, and there was an old man in ragged clothes everywhere he could see, his hair was unkempt, and he still exuded the smell of dead rats all over his body. But Li Yanyun didn't care much, and fell to his knees with an ordinary sound, and shouted in his mouth, "Master, you are finally here." ”
Nalan in the corridor finally understood why Li Cunqiao sighed for no reason, and why he said such a thing. Because the appearance of this old man will change the current situation, and even cause more crises that are difficult to resolve......
