Li Ji looked at Xinyan and insisted on walking back to Shennong Villa with the three of them, and said puzzledly: "Senior sister, from the Blood Maple Forest to Shennong Villa, if you walk, it will take about two or three hours, why don't you fly with your sword and return to Shennong Villa earlier?"

Xinyan's two willow eyebrows frowned suddenly, showing a cold and angry look, and said with a small mouth: "Why did I-why did I go back so early? I originally thought that I could have fun for a few days when I went down the mountain to find you, but I didn't expect that the Blood Maple Forest was so dangerous and terrifying, and it was almost fatal, which was not fun at all." Now that it's hard to get out of danger, why not take this great opportunity to relax and have a good time before going back. ”

Li Ji, Zhou Babao, and Xu Shixi secretly laughed in their hearts, Xinyan was playful and willful, and her temperament was very wild, and no one could stop what she decided.

Walking on the quiet mountain trail in the shade of the trees, looking at Xinyan shaking her braids, easily and comfortably hidden in the fields full of flowers, suddenly dodging to the roadside to pick flowers and flutter butterflies, suddenly catching crickets and crickets all over the mountains, occasionally catching some small creatures, but also smiled, and then let go of the fingers and released back to nature.

The surrounding mountain peaks stand quietly, now it is the middle of June, in the middle of summer, the birdsong mountain is secluded, the breeze is light, it is not hot and dry, the cicada noise forest is more quiet, the birdsong mountain is more secluded, put yourself in it, release yourself at will, there is a sense of otherworldliness.

Looking at the verdant, green grass like green, and green like summer flowers, compared with the bloody and terrifying blood maple forest that lingers around, there is a world of difference, Li Ji has a thought in his heart: How good it would be if he could go on like this and grow old in the wilderness.

The four of them talked and laughed all the way, and they were happy, and before they knew it, an hour had passed, and Zhou Babao picked some unknown wild fruit spirit grass along the road, which was said to be to please the master, hoping to reduce some punishment.

Only Xu Shixi was silent all the way, as if he had something on his mind, and the three of them were also used to his indifferent appearance, and they had long been surprised, so in addition to calling him "thin bamboo pole" in private, he also called him "stuffy oil bottle".

"Boom ......"

At the foot of the mountain, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and the earth seemed to tremble.

Li Ji's eyes froze, and he turned his eyes, and then he saw dust flying in the distance, and a line of iron horses galloped over, like a black dragon, sweeping the land at an extremely fast speed.

A sharp edge flashed in Xinyan's eyes, and she said, "These people are so arrogant and domineering, it's really hateful!"

While thinking about it, a group of iron horsemen gradually approached, rolling up in the dust of the sky, only more than ten feet away from them, but there was no sign of stopping.

Immediately the knights are all dressed in black armor, dragon spirit and tiger fierce, heroic and extraordinary, the leader of the person is around thirty years old, but also rich and handsome, the breath is huge, wearing a purple robe, a pair of copper bell giant eyes are cold and cold, a golden silk spider belt is tied around the waist, and the face is slightly vicissitudes, giving people a feeling of reading all the flashy and indifferent.

Zhou Babao was a little panicked and said, "Could it be that the Jiuli clan sent someone to arrest us?"

Xinyan shook her head and said, "It's not like the clothes of the Jiuli soldiers, but like the cavalry of the Qi Kingdom." ”

As he spoke, the leader took the lead in meeting them, as if he was aimed at the four of them.

Xinyan saw that the comer was violent, and she didn't avoid it at all, she couldn't help but be angry in her heart, picked two leaves casually, raised her left hand without hurry, curled her fingers slightly, and with a flick of it, a spiritual light shot out, and went straight to the horse ridden by the middle-aged man in the purple robe.

The horse neighed in pain and stood up, the middle-aged man in the purple robe was startled, he didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly tightened the reins, because the horse was frightened, neighed, suddenly went crazy, jumped up his front hooves, and immediately opened his hooves and rushed to the crops on the side of the road.

The horse seemed to be a chariot fighting on the battlefield, rampage, trampling on crops, kicking down ridges, and throwing messes everywhere it went.

Fortunately, the purple-robed middle-aged man on the horse had superb equestrian skills, and he made a few sighs before he grabbed the reins and controlled the horse.

"Bold, daring to frighten the general's mount for no reason, I am impatient. ”

Thirteen Xuanjia cavalry flew off their horses, with a fierce momentum, drew their blades, and surrounded the four of them.

Xinyan secretly sneered in her heart: Even with a group of soldiers and ruffians in front of him, he dared to spread wild in front of the immortal cultivators, it was really beyond his strength!

So he jokingly said: "We will leave one to four, one junior and one brother, and the right to practice in advance for the Spirit Conference, anyway, it is not we who take the initiative to provoke, don't send it to the door automatically in vain, what do you think?"

Li Ji's heart trembled, and his eyes swept to the thirteen Xuanjia cavalrymen standing in front of him, all of them were majestic, their expressions were grim, and their bodies exuded a trembling aura.

Their steady pace and uniform movements, the speed and angle of their outflanking, are extremely perfect and impeccable, and they are by no means as simple as ordinary soldiers.

was about to say something to remind Xinyan, but she didn't pay attention to them at all, and shouted: "A bunch of dogs, you rely on more people to bully fewer people, right?"

"Where did the wild girl come from, her mouth is not inferior, she doesn't know the etiquette, it seems that the person we are looking for is you, yes!"

While the cavalry was talking, the mandarin duck double knives behind them were already unsheathed, forming a blade in the sky and enveloping them.

The thirteen Xuanjia cavalry didn't expect Xinyan to take advantage of their words and their breath to disperse, and suddenly made a move, and after their faces changed slightly, they waved their swords to block the sudden sharp blades.

With a sound of bells, the swords intersected, leaving behind sparks, like stars in the sky, lighting up the hazy moon sky.

The two sides made a move, and each retreated, and the thirteen Xuanjia cavalry suddenly felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and they could barely hold the hilt of their swords. They looked at the woman in front of them in surprise, they really couldn't imagine that this woman with a weak surface had such skills.

At the moment, he didn't dare to be careless, clenched the long sword, set up a formation, and the four of them were in a group, and immediately launched a counterattack, and the continuous sword rays stabbed towards Xinyan like a cone.

The sword rays were like lightning, extremely fast, and Xinyan could dissolve one of them, but she couldn't block the four swords at the same time, so she couldn't help but be shocked, so she had to dodge back.

The originally quiet country road was filled with the sound of various metal clashes, deafening and resounding in the sky.

The thirteen Xuanjia cavalry instantly intersected with Li Ji's four people.

Scenes of dazzling flickering sparks flying!

At this moment, Xinyan, Zhou Babao, and Xu Shixi were dwarfed, and the rapidly flickering sword light and sword shadow had instantly enveloped the three of them in the blink of an eye!

Xinyan thought that most of the cavalry of Qi State were straw bales, and they could be easily dispatched with three moves and two styles, but she didn't expect these people to come up together, a group of four, the attack and defense were orderly, the formation, footwork, and swordsmanship were tacitly understood, and the four of them were integrated into one, and they were completely natural, and the attack force was magnified several times, which was simply seamless and impeccable.

After a while, Xinyan didn't take advantage of the slightest, and Zhou Babao was even more miserable, if it weren't for the extremely sharp water god halberd in his hand, he would have been defeated a long time ago.

Xu Shixi's Shenjiatong bow could not be used at this time, and the four cavalry were surrounded by airtight as soon as they came up, and there was no room for him to use it at all, and finally he had to use the Shenjiatong bow as a sword, fortunately, he was good at swordsmanship, Rao was so, and he was forced to retreat step by step.

The most embarrassing thing was Li Ji, who glanced at the tall bearded fierce man standing in front of him, cold sweat broke out, and he couldn't stop crying: Senior Sister Xinyan left him the tallest and most powerful of the thirteen cavalrymen, his thick arms and strong chest, at a glance, he knew that he was infinitely powerful, and he had a body of horizontal kung fu, and he was guilty of it.

The strange thing is that Li Ji didn't move, and the tall bearded man didn't move either, did he wait for me to make a move before making a move?

"Why don't you do it?"

"I think it's a little strange, seeing that you are magnificent, with an extraordinary demeanor, holding a sword, you don't look like a treacherous villain, let alone a spy, why are you blocking the way here?"

"What? You treat us as spies?"

Li Ji couldn't help but smile dumbly, no wonder these cavalrymen came up and surrounded them, looking nervous, it turned out that they were regarded as spies.

"We are all good citizens of Qi country, how can we be spies?"

The tall bearded fierce man was a little convinced, but Xinyan and the other three had already started to fight with the other cavalry, his eyebrows were raised, he was extremely angry, and the ten fingers of his hands turned into eagle claws in vain, placed them on his waist, charged his claws, sucked the qi full, and then grabbed Li Ji's shoulder unexpectedly.

When the lightning was shining, before he could draw the Chixiao Sword, he grabbed his shoulder.

The claws are like sharp eagle claws, mighty, powerful, fast, accurate, and ruthless.

The strength of the other party's fingers penetrated into the meridians, and the pain entered the bone marrow, and he burst into tears.

When Li Ji listened to books in Anji County, he often heard the old master mention that there is a kind of kung fu called "Mighty Eagle Claw Gong" on the rivers and lakes.

When this skill is practiced, it can hurt people invisibly with feminine strength, and the cold qi of the person who is hit penetrates into the bone marrow, which is difficult to treat.

Looking at his full heavenly court, the divine light in his eyes is like electricity, and his temples are slightly raised, it can be seen that his internal strength is exquisite, and he must have practiced the "Mighty Eagle Claw Skill".

Li Ji thought of the Dugu Divine Sword in a panic, although its sword was based on spiritual power, there were also some dexterous and strange moves in the sword style.

The cold air on his shoulders had seeped in, and he endured the pain, not retreating, but advanced, and took a clever step, slanting behind him, and magically dissolved the claw force.

The tall man with a beard and a fierce beard couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he met the weak young man in front of him, and his footwork was so weird.

At this moment, the purple-robed general led the startled horse back to the trail and shouted, "Stop!"

Hearing this, the thirteen cavalry put away their weapons and withdrew.

The purple-robed general arched his hand and said, "Everyone, I was rude just now. ”

Li Ji and the others were startled by the sudden cheers, and when they were wondering, they only heard him say again: "If I guessed correctly, all the little heroes must be disciples of Shennong Villa, right?"

When the four of them heard this, they were even more surprised, they didn't expect the purple-robed general to know their identities, and Xinyan couldn't help asking, "How did you know that we are disciples of Shennong Villa?"

The purple-robed general smiled heartily, pointed to the robes on their bodies and said: "This general also knows a little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the dragon pattern crescent moon white clothes of Shennong Villa are famous all over the world, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? Just now I was reckless, thinking that you were spies sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and I am here to accompany you." ”

"Oh...... I thought you were so aggressive that you had to put us to death, but it turned out that you had misunderstood. ”

"The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, I will set up a banquet to invite all the little heroes another day, and the right to apologize. The purple-robed general hugged his fists, and then pointed to the Xuanjia cavalry beside him, "They are my personal guards who have followed me for many years, and they have taken refuge in Buddhism and cultivated quietly. ”

Xinyan suddenly realized: "No wonder their kung fu is so exquisite, they don't look like ordinary soldiers. ”

The purple-robed general smiled indifferently and arched his hand: "They are like brothers and sisters with me, and they are also the well-known 'Thirteen Xuanjia Cavalry Monks' of our army." Now I have been ordered to be transferred to the suburbs of the capital to garrison, the border has been in an emergency recently, and the Northern Wei Dynasty spies are frequent, we are chasing it everywhere, I can't think of such an unpleasant thing with you, I am really ashamed!"

Li Ji and others returned the salute, and then reported their teachers and names according to the number of etiquette in the rivers and lakes.

"I don't know the general's name?"

"My surname is Xiao, just call me Xiao Yan, although I met the little heroes for the first time, but at first sight, I don't have to be a general, I don't have to be a general, I look rusty. ”

After speaking, he stared at the trampled crops, frowned, and said: "I am under the edict of the Son of Heaven, send troops to garrison, in order to ensure the safety of the place, when the wheat is ripe, I have to send troops, large and small generals, all who cross the wheat field, but there are tramples, and they are all beheaded." I am a soldier who has my own military orders, and I am not allowed to disturb the people, and the military law is very strict, and now I have made my own laws, but I have violated the regulations, how can I serve the people?"

After speaking, he raised his sword and wanted to kill himself, but the thirteen Xuanjia cavalry monks beside him hurriedly grabbed him and said: "The righteousness of the ancients in the Spring and Autumn Period, the law is not respected, the general commands the army, if there is a big chaos today, the general still needs to pacify the Quartet, how can he kill himself?"

Xiao Yan pondered for a long time and said: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period has the meaning of 'the law is not respected', then I will have the right and avoid death." ”

He waved the sword in his hand, cut off a strand of long hair on his head and threw it to the ground: "I will break my will today, and temporarily send the head of Xiang Shang's body to the body, and when the four seas are calm and the sun and moon shine in the future, I will go on a hunger strike to kill myself again to thank the world." ”

The four of them saw that he was heroic and heroic, and they were already a little impressed in their hearts, and they saw that he was as light as a weight, broke his ambition, and revealed his heroic spirit of righteousness and awe-inspiring and serving the country and the people, which was even more admirable.

Xinyan was ashamed of the rash shot to hurt the horse just now, and said: "General Xiao's words are serious, the horse is frightened and tramples on the crops, just pay some silver, why bother to fight?"

"No, the so-called military orders are like a mountain, today I make a mistake alone, if I can't lead by example, what will happen to the sergeant in the future?"

At this point, when the people saw that he was not enough, they gave up.

"I have a military situation today, and I am free another day, I will meet you again!"

After speaking, Xiao Yan led the thirteen Xuanjia iron horsemen to turn over and get on the horse, nodded lightly, pulled the reins in his hand, and rode away.
