Chapter 8: What is a City? What is a country?
"After passing this mountain, we will go to the sea, where there is a boat to the country of Yunhai." Zhang Yi said to Li Feng.
Before he finished speaking, a sword qi came straight towards the three of them, Li Feng pulled out the rusty cracked Yan sword, and swung it directly forward, the sword qi intersected, Li Feng couldn't help but take three steps back, and before Li Feng could stand firm, a slightly thin man flew out of the woods in front of him, and slashed at Li Feng with another sword, Li Feng hurriedly waved the crack Yan sword to block it upward, the two swords intersected, stirring up a spark, Li Feng opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Zhang Yi and Hu Wei reacted at this time, one left and one right swung their swords at the man, the man's body sank downward, skillfully dodged the stabbing swords from both sides, and kicked both sides with his two feet, Hu Wei couldn't dodge, was kicked by a kick, and fainted directly.
Zhang Yi's body flashed to the left, avoiding the opponent's kick, and when he was about to swing his sword, he was hit in the chest by the opponent's palm, flew backwards, and fainted directly to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Feng used the Tianlong Sword Technique, and the sword qi flew towards the thin man like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, the man was not in a hurry, and the sword in his hand was swung out from the bottom up, which dissolved all the sword qi of Li Feng's Tianlong Sword Technique, and then slashed at Li Feng three times in a row, and after the three swords, Li Feng opened his mouth and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"It's too weak!" The thin middle-aged man said contemptuously.
After saying this, the man waved a sword at Li Feng casually, it seemed that the clouds were light and clear, but the sword qi was obviously a few points stronger than just now.
Li Feng had to use all his strength to block this sword, and after this sword, Li Feng could no longer support his body at all. You can only stand the Rip Yan Sword on the ground and prevent yourself from falling.
"It's still a hard bone, let's see how long you can hold on." The man swung the strongest sword at Li Feng again, feeling the sword qi biting towards him, as if he was about to bite himself to pieces, Li Feng couldn't help but close his eyes, at this moment, time seemed to stand still, the flowers and grass around, the flow of air, everyone's breath Li Feng could clearly feel it.
Is that how he died? Isn't Dayan revived? Isn't the revenge of the parents avenged? No! I can't die! There's still a lot to do! I can't die! The revenge has not yet been avenged! Dayan is still waiting for me to revive! I have to live, and there is hope in life! At this moment, Li Feng felt a powerful air flow surging from his dantian, the Split Yan Sword in his hand was also trembling slightly, and the black bow on his back no longer looked dull at this moment.
Suddenly, Li Feng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of domineering aura, looking at the man's sword qi, Li Feng also swung a sword, the momentum was so strong that it seemed to devour everything in this heaven and earth, the moment the two sword qi intersected, the thin man flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and spit out a mouthful of blood the moment he fell to the ground.
The thin man laughed and said, "Hahaha! Okay, very good, Brother Tianba, you can die blindly, there is hope for the revival of Dayan, there is hope for revival, the heart of the dragon is indeed a peerless treasure. Hahaha! The man's laughter combined with his bloodstained face was terrifying.
After Li Feng swung this sword with all his might, the person could no longer support it, and he fell to the ground and fainted.
The thin man looked at Li Feng who fell to the ground, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were full of relief.
Then, the man took out a ringing arrow from his cuff and flew into the sky, and a moment later, a group of men and horses appeared from the city lord's mansion and hurried towards the woods.
Li Feng didn't lie down for long, woke up with his eyes, and saw that he was lying on a big bed, and before Li Feng could speak, the maid serving next to him said, "Childe is awake!" ”
"Where is this?" Li Feng said in a weak voice.
"City Lord's Mansion!"
"Why am I here?"
"The lord brought you back!"
"What's your city lord's name?"
"Dugu Hong!" The maid said respectfully.
"Juggernaut?" Li Feng blurted out his debut.
"Hmm!"
……
"What about my two companions?"
"They're not awake yet!"
Li Feng was about to get up, but he didn't have any strength in his body, so he had to give up.
"Childe has been lying down for three days, eat something today, and he should be able to get up tomorrow." After speaking, he asked someone to get a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and feed it to Li Feng.
……
In this way, another day passed, Li Feng was already able to get out of bed and move, Zhang Yi and Hu Wei also woke up one after another, the three of them didn't know how to get here, asked the maids in the house, and only said that it was brought back by the city lord, and refused to say anything else, the three of them raised in the mansion for some time, and wanted to set off and then go to Yunhai Kingdom, but the guards in the mansion did not let them out of the gate of the city lord's mansion, only that they had to have the order of the city lord to leave the mansion.
"Childe, what should I do?" Zhang Yi asked.
"Whatever, how good it is to stay here, there is good food and drink for us! There are a lot of beautiful maids waiting next to me, so stay here. Hu Wei had never been waited on like this, and when he heard that they were leaving, he hurriedly continued: "Anyway, if you two want to go, I'll stay here." ”
The two didn't pay attention to Hu Wei, and Li Feng said: "Let's wait and see, and then talk about it when the injury is healed." ”
The days passed like this, and more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
"Gongzi Li, the city lord invites you to the main hall." Early in the morning, as soon as Li Feng got up, the guards came in and said to Li Feng.
Li Feng followed the guards to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and after waiting for a while, a familiar figure appeared, it was the thin man who was in the woods that day.
"You are the city lord of Fuhu City, Sword Saint Dugu Hong?" Li Feng asked suspiciously.
"Why, isn't it like?" Duguhong smiled and said casually.
"Why did you kill me?"
"Kill you because someone asked me to kill you."
"Who?"
"You'll find out later."
"Then why save me?" Li Feng's eyes stared at Dugu Hongdao.
"For hope!"
"What hope?"
Duguhong didn't answer this question, but said softly: "Do you know what a city is?" What is a country? ”
Each city in the eighteen counties of Qingyun Jiuzhou has its own king, but some are called cities, such as Dayan City, and some are called countries, such as Dayu Kingdom, Li Feng is really unclear about this issue, and Zhang Yi has never told him, so he can only shake his head.
"Not dependent on any power, with an army capable of defending the country, paying tribute to no one or any power, having its own laws, and being loyal to its own people...... This is the country! And what is not in it can only be called a city. Duguhong's voice said a little excitedly
"Who is Fuhu City attached to?" "Dayu country!" Duguhong said directly.
"Then King Dayu wants you to kill me?"
Hearing Li Feng ask this, Dugu Hong smiled, laughing so loudly that the entire City Lord's Mansion could hear his laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Feng was puzzled
"I laughed at myself that I should have killed you with a sword, I thought you had the power of the dragon's heart, maybe there was a 1 in 10,000 hope that you could defeat him, I was wrong, I was very wrong, you overestimated yourself!" Dugu Hong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Without waiting for Li Feng to speak, Dugu Hong said slowly: "Back then, Dayan wanted to change the city into a country, King Dayu personally led troops to deal with Dayan, ten battles and ten victories, forcing your father to commit suicide, I grew up with your father since childhood, like brothers, personally led the troops to help your father avenge, but did not win a battle, he knew that I was a sword saint, and even gave me a chance to fight him in person, but I was defeated in his hands with only three moves, but he did not kill me, saying that I was not qualified to be his opponent at all, from then on, I practiced hard day and night, Ten years ago, I went to Dayu, but he only used two moves, and five years ago, he only needed one move for me! And, I know, he didn't use all his strength! ”
"One move!" Li Feng's heart was truly shocked. King Dayu didn't use all his strength to make the Sword Saint admit defeat, how terrifying his strength is, no wonder Dugu Hong said that it was a mistake to leave me, it turned out that he really looked down on himself, and now he is indeed not qualified to be the opponent of King Dayu.
"And who is it that wants you to kill me?" Li Feng still wants to know the answer, even if King Dayu will not let the Sword Saint deal with him, then who else can have the qualifications to let the dignified Sword Saint Dugu Hong, the city lord of Fuhu City, make a move.
"Your second uncle Li Tianzong!" Duguhong said slowly.
Li Feng already knew the answer, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and Dugu Hong's loud voice came from behind him: "Great Yan City was called Great Yan Country a long, long time ago. ”
Looking at Li Feng's back gradually moving away, Dugu Hong muttered, "Can you let us see the Great Yan Kingdom again!" ”
