Chapter 284: Celestial Treasure
Under the loud shout of the old man in white, the master who chased and killed him behind Liu Xi immediately retreated as if he had met a frightened person.
Obviously, one Void Breaker is enough to kill them all.
This is the deterrence of the strongest.
Liu Xi and Xiao Wu fell on top of the city, and immediately a group of soldiers armed with swords surrounded them and surrounded them.
Several of the swords still had dried blood stains on them.
In the crowd, the commotion sounded, and Su Yi saw Ma Xiu striding forward and grabbed Liu Xi's arms, "Yusheng, Xiao Wu, are you okay?" ”
"There is no major problem, there are many masters outside the city, I am afraid that the night attack will not be possible tonight, you can use a few men and horses to take turns out of the city to harass, feign an offensive, and the enemy will immediately return to the city if he moves."
Hearing that Liu Xi and Xiao Wu were not injured, Ma Xiu immediately made up his mind and said a word to the general beside him, who immediately received the order to do something to disturb the enemy.
After the soldiers dispersed, Liu Xi stepped forward and bent over with the old man in white who was staring at him, "Thank you seniors for coming to the rescue." ”
"Are you from the Liu family?"
The old man looked Liu Xi up and down for a while, and then looked at Ma Xiu, obviously, from the 'Dragon and Snake Nine Changes' just now, he had already seen that Liu Xi was related to the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, so this became even more incomprehensible.
Since he is Liu Han's person, why did he come to help the Tuoba clan of Shu Kingdom?
Sensing the old man's gaze, Ma Xiu stepped forward with a smile and bowed, "Grandpa Wei, this is the friend of life and death of Xiu, he is involved with the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, but the reason for this is that I can't tell it for a few days and nights, and after retreating from the enemy, the situation is stable, and Xiu and Grandpa Wei are good friends." ”
After saying this, Ma Xiu said to Liu Xi again, "This is Grandpa Wei, the father of Wei He, the lord of Chongzhou City, you have also seen that the master of breaking the void realm, and it is Grandpa Wei who is sitting in Chongzhou City, and those traitors are afraid." ”
I see.
With the continuous improvement of cultivation, Liu Xi has been in contact with many masters, but there are still very few masters in the realm of breaking the void, except for the people of the wild forest a few days ago, now this is really standing in front of him.
Liu Xi then saluted again, "The cultivation of the seniors is profound, and it is difficult to hope for the juniors." ”
The old man stroked his beard, bowed his head slightly, and said in a very pure Central Plains language, "Heroes come out of youth, this is true, little doll, you are really amazing." ”
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the old man also disappeared into the city with the wind, just as when he came, and the traces were difficult to find.
And at this moment under the city, the soldiers who received the order of Ma Xiu began to go out of the city to harass the enemy, naturally as Liu Xi expected, the rebels who were fighting the fire saw that someone was killed, and immediately rushed to meet the enemy.
Although the soldiers of Chongzhou City said that the shouting of killing shook the sky, when they were about to fight, they turned around and came towards the city.
Seeing this scene, Ma Xiu, who was standing between the battlements, sighed deeply, "I hope that such a tired enemy strategy can make the rebels lose their ground." ”
Looking at the camp where the fire was still bubbling in the distance, Liu Xi was not at all relaxed, he had learned the ability of Dong Ge to govern the army, and more importantly, Dong Ge had mysteriously disappeared under his blow before, which made Liu Xi even more uneasy.
The ability of the person who gave the Dong Gela Bronze Mirror must not be underestimated, and it may no longer be broken, it has not yet appeared, it may just be the wrong time.
Following the color of the firelight, Liu Xi looked up at the long night, the sky was quiet tonight, and the stars seemed to be caught in the pockets of all the naughty fairies, all of them were gone, just like the current situation in Shu, which made people unable to see clearly.
Standing at the head of the city and watching the time of a stick of incense, the night was deeper, and then Liu Xi and the two followed Ma Xiuchengtou to carefully check the defense.
After the inspection, Ma Xiu, whose eyes were red and swollen, led the two of them down to the city, and the soldiers on the side brought the horses for Ma Xiu.
Ma Xiu was about to ask people to find horses for Liu Xi and Xiao Wu, but he saw two shadows rushing out of the soldiers who went out of the city to harass the enemy.
Looking at it fixedly, there were two horses, which were the mounts of Liu Xi and Xiao Wu before.
The round belly is particularly eye-catching, obviously when Liu Xi was in danger, 'Lanyue' spread his hooves and ate a very happy meal.
The dark horse that followed Xiao Wu behind him was cautious, and he didn't even dare to use some strength when he stepped on his hooves.
Seeing Liu Xi, 'Lanyue' wagged his tail and quickly stepped forward, putting his head in front of Liu Xi, as if he was trying his best to curry favor.
As soon as he pushed away the 'Lanyue', Liu Xi scolded with a smile, and then turned over on the horse.
"It's a lot easier now."
Ma Xiu smiled and stepped on the horse, and then took the lead in leading the way.
Although Chongzhou City is in the midst of war, it is also extremely quiet at night, and where the horse's hooves pass, there are occasionally a few dogs barking and cicadas.
After about a cup of tea, the three of them stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and Emperor Ming Tuoba Yingqi temporarily stayed in the City Lord's Mansion.
When the soldiers guarding outside the mansion saw Ma Xiu, they immediately took back the halberd that was about to reach forward, and saluted very respectfully, while Ma Xiu replied very gently.
Both sides used Shu language, Liu Xi and Xiao Wu couldn't understand it, so they didn't make a sound, but they just followed the horse embroidery into the city lord's mansion.
The eaves corridor of this city lord's mansion is tortuous, and there is a courtyard flowing water, which does not see the rough appearance of Shu at all, just like the wind and charm of the Jiangnan region.
Liu Xi, who came all the way, couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that this Wei He is from the Central Plains?
As if seeing the surprise in Liu Xi's eyes, Ma Xiu said softly, "All my understanding of the Central Plains comes from Master Wei, when my father traveled in the Central Plains and got acquainted with Master Wei, Master Wei is a person who is rich in five cars, and under the invitation of his father, he came to Shu as an official, so this city lord's mansion naturally has a bit of Jiangnan charm." ”
This time Liu Xi understood, it turned out that Wei He was a person from the Central Plains, but he was more interested in Wei He, a person who could make the emperor call him a brother and brother, and what kind of person was a horse embroidery master.
Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a room, and there were three big characters hanging above the vigorous big characters of 'Tao Ranju', the handwriting was like a gold knife and silver carving, and the pen was sharp, which was really a calligraphy master of its own.
Before entering the house, a white shadow rushed out with a faint fragrance, grabbing Ma Xiu's sleeve with both hands, "Xiu'er, are you injured?" ”
The person who came was wearing a white folded blue skirt, and there was a winged golden luan on his cloud-shaped hair, although he was middle-aged, but his appearance was still charming.
At the moment, his face was full of worry and anxiety.
Seeing her behavior towards Ma Xiu, how could Liu Xi not understand her identity.
"The child is fine, let the mother worry."
Ma Xiu said softly, then turned his head and smiled slyly with Liu Xi, which couldn't help but make the latter's heart suddenly chuckle.
"Mother, this is Liu Xi, the orphan of the former prince of the Han Dynasty that the child once mentioned to you in my heart."
When the woman in the skirt heard this, her body trembled, and then she staggered towards Liu Xi like a big teardrop on her eyelashes.
"My hard-working child, let my aunt take a good look at it."
At this time, Liu Xi reacted that the woman in front of him was Princess Yuzhu of the Han Dynasty, and after Liu Si ascended the throne, he married her to Shu.
But Liu Xi didn't expect Princess Yuzhu to be Ma Xiu's biological mother.
Although she is Liu Xi's aunt, Liu Xi has been dependent on Liu Han for life since he can remember, and his feelings for the rest of the people are really not so deep, so it is difficult to make tears to reunite with his relatives after a long absence.
Just when Liu Xi didn't know how to express his emotions, two people came out of the house again.
The leader is slender, the sword eyebrows are like knives, although the eyes are red and swollen, but they are light and introverted, and they are wearing a dark color gold flying dragon suit, thinking that they are the Ming Emperor of Shu and Tuoba Yingqi.
Behind him, there is a thin man in a green shirt, wearing a hosta, a long beard on his chin, a calm step, and a gentle and elegant face.
"Father, Master Wei!"
Seeing the two, Ma Xiu immediately bent down to salute, and later introduced Liu Xi and Xiao Wu, who inevitably had to make a salute.
When Tuoba Yingqi heard Liu Xi's name, his strong and resolute expression immediately softened a lot, and he looked at him back and forth a few times, "Yes, it is somewhat similar to Liu Qu." ”
As soon as she heard Tuoba Yingqi mention Liu Qu, Princess Yuzhu was even more heartbroken, tears fell from her beans, and her shoulders kept shaking, "My poor prince brother ......"
Choked up with tears.
This scene couldn't help but make Liu Xi a little moved, and he wanted to say something, but after all, he didn't know how to speak, after all, the two were still too strange.
"Mother, it should be a happy event when you see the jade physiology, so naturally you can't cry, otherwise it won't be auspicious. ”
Ma Xiu's words immediately made Emperor Ming Tuoba Yingqi, who was still thinking about how to open his mouth to comfort, nodded again and again, and while reaching out to wipe the teardrops on Princess Yuzhu's cheeks with his sleeve, he said with distress, "Yes, yes, Liu Qu is still alive, it is indeed a great joy, Zhu'er, you can't cry with a face." ”
With the words of these two people, Princess Yuzhu stopped crying, and grabbed Liu Xi's hand with a smile, "Don't stand here, child, follow me into the house quickly, so that my aunt can take a closer look." ”
Wei Shi couldn't bear to shake off Princess Yuzhu's hand, so Liu Xi entered the house under her tugging.
In the house, flowers and plants are ornamented, and the dark fragrance is refreshing; Calligraphy and painting are hung on the wall, which is quite elegant.
Princess Yuzhu inevitably had to ask Liu Xi for some words, and after learning that Liu Han had passed away, her tears suddenly broke off, and her eyes were red and swollen a little, which was a consolation that made Ma Xiu and Emperor Ming have a good life.
Later, knowing that Liu Xi had become Li Tang's Zhenbei Marquis and was in charge of Li Tang's northern Xinjiang, Princess Yuzhu was quite amazed, and in addition to being amazed, she was also a lot of joy.
After talking for a while, Princess Yuzhu slapped her forehead with her hand, "Look at me, I'm so happy, but I forgot a big thing." ”
Dropping these words, Princess Yuzhu got up and moved lightly, and quickly walked out of the house, as if there was something very important that needed to be done immediately.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Ming Tuoba Yingqi smiled and picked up the tea and took a sip.
"Yusheng, can you tell me a little bit about the situation just now?"
Ma Xiuzi, who was waiting at the head of the city, saw the riots in the enemy camp, and according to his understanding of Liu Xi, it should be a gain, but in the end, it seemed that the enemy camp was just a riot, but there was no sign of the commander being killed.
Therefore, Ma Xiu guessed that Liu Xi might have encountered something.
nodded and thanked the servant who handed the tea, and Liu Xi, who hadn't figured out the reason until now, told the previous things one by one.
Hearing Liu Xi's words, everyone in the room looked at each other.
After a long time, Wei He, who was brushing his beard, broke the silence, "Could it be that it is a treasure of heaven and man?" ”
Although Wei He is not interested in martial arts, he has some enthusiasm for rare and exotic objects, and his father is a master of breaking the void, so he will inevitably hear the news about heaven and man.
Seeing that everyone looked over, Wei He continued, "I also heard from my father that the treasures of heaven and man can make people exchange space, even if they are not cultivated, they can also change positions in an instant, and even more powerful treasures can even reverse time and space, but this kind of word-of-mouth thing is too magical, so I have always regarded it as a false rumor, and I have not thought about it elsewhere. ”
It turned out to be related to heaven and man.
Liu Xi's face couldn't help but change, if the rebels had the help of heaven and man, then it would be extremely difficult for Ma Xiu to hold Chongzhou City, not to mention quelling the rebel army and restoring the peace of Shu.
At the same time, Liu Xi also remembered the words of the previous Mingmiao, could it be that the treasure of heaven and man is really about to come out?
