I remember that Duocuo once introduced to him the origin of this pair of scimitars, saying that it came from Linyi, a state of caves and barbarians in the south of Tibet, and was modeled after the shape of the rhinoceros horn that Linyi regarded as the most precious treasure, and was made of extremely rare dark iron. Ling Lai Xing'er still thinks about it, and still can't help but feel sorry that the **** was coerced by Nayu and walked in a hurry, that is, even the pair of beloved horn scimitars fell in Luoqi City, and they didn't have time to bring them back to Chang'an.

Could the man-eating monster mentioned in Jiangzhong Shikou be the rhinoceros produced by Linyi?

During the days when horses were raised in the stables of the East Palace, Lai Xing'er had heard Wu Xiaozhong also mention rhinoceros. According to him, before the rise of the Great Rebellion, although Tibet had become stronger and stronger, the small states in southern Xinjiang, such as Nanzhao and Linyi, had not yet attached themselves to it, but had to send envoys to Chang'an every year to pay homage to the emperor, and their kings and chieftains directly accepted the emperor's canonization, and the Chang'an court was about a vassal state. There are two kinds of treasures that Lin Yi pays tribute to the Daming Palace every year that are particularly favored, one is the peacock gold thread that is bright like gold and silky, and the other is the rhinoceros horn, a rare medicinal material that can cure children's convulsions.

I have heard Wu Xiaozhong say more than once that rhinos have always only grown in the humid and hot southern Xinjiang. Wangwu Mountain is located north of the Yellow River, how can there be rhinos here?

Thinking of this, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but shake his head thoughtfully.

"General, the road ahead is already the road to the mountain." Jiang Zhong Ishi's view of Lai Xing'er had been silent and deep in thought since he inquired about his description of the man-eating monster, and couldn't help but remind him.

Lai Xing'er was reminded by him, and then he remembered why the sergeant under his command had not been seen so far, and a wave of anger could not restrain himself from rushing to his head, and shouted into the night: "Where are the cats, come out for me!" ”

But all he heard was the echo of himself from the empty mountains, and he saw not a single sergeant's shadow.

"Not good! Something is going to happen on the mountain! ”

Lai Xing'er suddenly thought that there was an excellent opportunity for Li Shu to make meritorious service in front of him, how could these guys who could kill people with knives for a few chickens be willing to stay at the bottom of the mountain honestly? Most of them took advantage of the fact that they stayed in the village to help take care of the aftermath, and secretly went up the mountain to arrest Li Shu.

Twenty days ago, in front of the study of the Jin State Mansion, in order to save Li Jinzhong, Lai Xing'er actually hit with his life and injured Nayu. For this reason, these days, he has always felt guilty about Nayu and has never been able to let go. Today in the Lingdu Temple, Na Yu sacrificed his life twice to save Li Shu, which made it difficult for Lai Xing'er to ride a tiger, and he felt quite at a loss. Once Na Yu wishes, let Li Shu live, not only will it be difficult to return to the camp to give Fu Yi an errand, but even he himself will not be able to convince himself in his heart to do such a thing of favoritism and abolishing justice.

If Li Shu hadn't rebelled and became the leader of the rebels, then Lai Xing'er might have raised his hand and let him go for Nayu's sake. However, letting Li Shu go now will undoubtedly cause thousands of people to continue to die in the endless war, and will undoubtedly make a large area of land that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see be abandoned and left uncultivated, which will undoubtedly bring greater disasters to Li Shu in the world.

When Lai Xing'er first entered the Daming Palace, when he was on duty in the Yanying Palace, he occasionally heard Liu Yi and Wei Chang arguing about the Three Kingdoms, and when talking about the section of Huarong Daoguan Sage letting go of the traitorous male Cao Cao, Liu Yi once angrily reprimanded Guan Yu for the sake of selfishness and forgetting the public interests of the world, which is really a ruthless and unrighteous person; However, Wei Chang ingeniously accused Kong Ming of being the culprit who let Cao Cao go, and the two argued until dark and failed to persuade each other to accept his opinion. Despite this, Lai Xing'er listened to the debate between the two people at that time, and found one point from which neither of them objected, that is, Guan Yu should not let Cao Cao go because Cao Cao had been kind to him. And now if he lets Li Shu go for the sake of Nayu, wouldn't he make the big mistake that Guan Yu made hundreds of years ago?

can not let Li Shu go, but also save Nayu's life, this is the true thought of Lai Xing'er's heart. When he inadvertently learned that Jing Xuzi, the presiding Taoist of the Lingdu Temple, had the intention of expelling Nayu from the temple in order to avoid causing trouble to the Taoist temple, he couldn't help but think of a way that although he was a little strong, he could take into account the preservation of Nayu's life and the arrest of Li Shu back to the camp.

He led the four sergeants down the mountain in order to shift the focus of the conflict between Jingxuzi and Nayu, and give Jingxuzi a chance to drive Nayu out of the Lingdu Temple. When Nayu was driven out of Lingdu Temple with Li Shu, who was seriously ill, he led all the soldiers to set up an ambush halfway, took Li Shu and Nayu in one fell swoop, and escorted him back to the barracks.

As for when Jing Xuzi will drive Li and Na out to watch, the time for Lai Xing'er to guess should be tomorrow morning at the earliest. Because, as a monk of Jingxuzi, he will not see death without help, and he will not leave Li Shu, who has just walked before the ghost gate, to live in the view.

With this night's effort, Lai Xing'er originally thought that after going down the mountain, he would send people to find the other teams of people who were searching for Li Shu nearby, and with the strength of hundreds of people, they would set up an ambush at the bottom of the mountain.

However, to his surprise, there was a fatality in Songtai Village, and now, more than a dozen sergeants who were temporarily shocked by his killing of two people in a row gathered together, and dared to disobey his general order again, and they didn't know what to do. Lai Xing'er encountered such a brutal sergeant when he led the troops for the first time, and he was anxious and angry, leaving Jiang Zhongshi's warning behind, and leading the little white dragon towards the mountain.

Jiang Zhongshi followed closely behind Lai Xing'er, and as he walked, he looked vigilantly into the woods on both sides of the mountain road, obviously very jealous of the man-eating monster he was talking about.

The two of them walked for nearly an hour, and finally, the mountain gate of Lingduguan was faintly visible in the night. Lai Xing'er heard Jiang Zhongshi muttering to himself behind him: "Huh? It used to haunt the woods below the mountainside, but why is it missing today? ”

Lai Xing'er knew that he was talking about the man-eating monster, so he didn't say anything, and quickened his pace and walked towards the Lingdu Temple. (To be continued.) )
