Xingqing Mansion, the country of Western Xia, is located on the plain, there is Helan Mountain as a barrier in the west, there is the Yellow River irrigation in the east, there is the reputation of "plugging the south of the Yangtze River", the country of Western Xia began to move to Lingzhou by Li Ji, after Li Deming succeeded to the throne, he thought that Lingzhou lived in the land of Sisai, and the situation was not as favorable as Huaiyuan, so he crossed the Yellow River to build a city in the north, and the capital was set here, named Xingzhou, which is now Xingqing Mansion. It can be seen that the rise and fall of a country has a lot to do with the country, and since the Western Xia has set the capital Xingqing, the country is thriving, and it is also an outlier to fight against the powerful Great Liao State and the Song Dynasty with only one million households.

A group of more than a dozen people are martial arts masters, riding horses are very fast, plus the Youtian Department in advance in front of the sentinel news/layout of the place to rest, all the way is very smooth, after entering the Western Xia, we are more cautious, Wu Xingyun Shibo let Yangtian, Haotian, Youtian three people disperse one after another, for me and Wu Xingyun to arrange retreat and warning, in the competition of top masters, they not only can not help, but may become a burden to us, so I still quite recognize the arrangement of the uncle.

However, the closer you get to Xingqing Mansion, the more you meet the Xixia ranger sentinels, and there are a lot of Xixia martial arts people with swords in the middle, it seems that they are people from Yipintang, I and Shi Bo are bold, and we have escaped reconnaissance one by one with our supreme light skills, and Shi Bo is even more proficient, and from time to time I point out the geography of the mountains and rivers in Xixia/army deployment, it seems that her old man has not come to Xixia once and a half, no wonder Uncle Li Qiushui hates her so much.

Entering Xingqing Mansion, many people dressed like the Han people in the Central Plains along the way, and there were many people with Han accents. Contrary to what many people think, both the Western Xia and the Great Liao practiced Sinology in their own countries and learned the culture and system of the Central Plains, which were quite similar to the Central Plains in many places. For the heirs of the Murong family, the emperors and national conditions of each country are the focus of detailed understanding and long-term follow-up. I even joined Yipintang under the name of Li Yanzong to get first-hand information and deliberately lead the fight. It is worth noting that the current king of Western Xia is called Li Qianshun, this guy is not simple, he adopts the rule of law in the Han Dynasty, emphasizes agriculture and mulberry/water conservancy, and is good at taking advantage of the situation, and has benefited a lot from the Song Dynasty and the Great Liao. Under his hard work, the Western Xia state was strong, politically clear, and the national strength was thriving. It is really desirable that a small country can develop into a three-legged relationship with the Song and Liao countries, and become a headache for the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty.

Outside Xingqing Mansion is a wide moat, the river water is directly drawn from the tributaries of the Yellow River, the city wall is tall and wide, the wall is wrapped with felt cloth, and the neatly dressed soldiers on the city wall patrol around, once the enemy attacks, the city gate can be closed immediately to face the battle. It was a fortress with both military/political and economic functions, especially in the military aspect, Xingqingfu once withstood the attack of the Great Song Dynasty, and was the capital that no one in the world could despise.

Of course, no matter how tall the city wall is, it is difficult for me and Wu Xingyun, who are strong in light skills, find an opportunity after nightfall, and we will easily cross the city wall and walk towards the palace. To be honest, if I wasn't afraid of startling the snake, with my current strength, I would have been able to break in even in broad daylight.

After the curfew, Xingqing Mansion was quiet, after entering the palace, I began to feel a little pressure, the number and frequency of patrolling soldiers have greatly increased, Wu Xingyun snorted in a low voice: "Li Qiushui, this slut is obviously afraid, there are many more soldiers patrolling the palace than before." But do you think this is going to be a big deal for me? “

Wu Xingyun looked at it for a while, quickly figured out the pattern of patrolling, signaled me to follow quickly, and then used light skills to run along the shadows under the wall to the depths of the palace, although three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry still let us sneak into the core of the place. I still have a little study of the architectural pattern, the palace in front of me is splendid, carved beams and paintings, and the pattern of the phoenix god bird can be seen on the wall from time to time, which should be the bedroom of the queen or the queen mother.

But I was faintly uneasy in my heart, the surroundings were too quiet, and the dormitory in the dark was like a monster with a wide mouth, once inside, there was no return. There was a murderous aura around him, which we ignored when we broke through the Praetorian Guard before, but now when we calm down, we feel that something is wrong.

I grabbed Wu Xingyun's sleeve and warned her, Wu Xingyun frowned, after all, he was a generation of grandmasters, although he was blinded by hatred for a while, he quickly made a gesture and prepared to retreat.

However, it was still a little late, and there was a smug laugh from the palace, "Senior sister, since you are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave, wouldn't it be better for me to entertain you well." “

The dark dormitory was instantly brightly lit, the door opened, and one by one martial arts masters walked out of it, the leading one was Li Qiushui, on the left was a tall and strong middle-aged man, wearing a yellow robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves, his eyes were shining/his drooping hands were thick and strong, and at first glance he was a master of both internal and external cultivation, faintly juxtaposed with Li Qiushui, and he didn't seem to put her in his eyes. It is worth noting that he has golden hair, even the light of the night cannot hide the faint luster of his golden hair, this hair is not born like this, but a model of cultivating the great achievements of the Western Thick Earth Exercises. I think of a legend in the Great Liao Martial Arts - Xiao Daoxuan's subordinate demon Yelu Zangming, the first master of the Great Liao Kingdom after Xiao Daoxuan, the invincible opponent in the north, and the top master who made everyone talk about the Central Plains martial arts. Yelu Zangming is known as a human demon, just because he has killed countless people, and most of the people killed are martial arts people or Northwest warriors, and I haven't heard of anyone who has survived with him just now.

On the right is a masked black-haired woman, with a slender figure, who looks to be about twenty-five years old, it is worth noting that her eyes are faintly filled with purple meaning, and when she meets her eyes, it seems that she will be swallowed up if she falls into a purple flame, which should be the appearance of cultivating some kind of demon sect technique.

There are many other masters, and even Duan Yanqing, the boss of the four evildoers, can only be ranked slightly behind, and he can't even enter the top five. But these two people on the left and right are the biggest threat to me, and you are even above Li Qiushui. Hehe, she really deserves to be the Empress Dowager of Xixia, it doesn't matter if she has a Yipintang, she can easily gather so many masters to support her, no wonder so many people are eager for the emperor's throne, the charm of power is really incredible, even just a Empress Dowager of Xixia can have such a great appeal.

In the distance, there are soldiers mobilizing and the footsteps of approaching, in order to deal with us Li Qiushui really paid a lot of money, and even disregarded the royal decency, although I was a little impatient and wanted to compete with the other party, but in the end, reason prevailed, and I patrolled around to find a place to break through. Wu Xingyun said with an ugly face: "Let's go." ”

I sighed slightly, although there are many masters on the other side, if I am not afraid of it usually, but it is different in the palace, it is not easy for the other party to win us, but it is not difficult to delay and prevent us from leaving, once besieged by the army, the immortals will also have a headache under the ten thousand arrows, so he said decisively: "Uncle Shi will go first, after the little nephew comes to break, Murong is good, it is not difficult to leave." ”

Wu Xingyun is a decisive and resolute sect master, knowing that he can't hesitate at this time, he quickly used light skills to run out, but when he heard a roar, the masked woman threw a half-moon-shaped dart over, and the sound was huge, and flew straight towards Wu Xingyun. I basked slightly, and pointed out that I easily hit the hidden weapon and knocked it away, and then the masters on the opposite side shot one after another, all kinds of hidden weapons held wind swords, some handed them to me, and some chased them to Wu Xingyun. I let out a long roar, which shook the opposite side and buzzed, taking advantage of the internal strength of the opponent's master, I used Ling Bo to dodge the attack with a slight step, and the Tianshan Folding Plum Hand in my hand came out, blocking the master who was chasing Wu Xingyun, just a few breaths, Wu Xingyun ran away without a trace.

Li Qiushui was furious, drew his sword and said sharply: "Kill him!" ”

I smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, we have no grievances and no enemies, why do you want to kill your master and nephew, I am a closed disciple of Master Wuyazi, are you worthy of Master Wu Yazi in the future?" ”

Li Qiushui laughed angrily: "You still have the face to speak, since we have no grievances and no hatred, you still help Wu Xingyun that slut all day long!" ”

While resisting the attack of the master on the opposite side, I said: "The little nephew is also forced to do so, after all, the master has an order, how dare Murong disobey it." ”

Li Qiushui said: "Since this is the case, you should die." Zang Ming, the holy woman, please kill this person. ”

Yelu Zangming was the first to strike, and a fierce palm force hit me, and before the palm wind arrived, there was a feeling of air stagnation, and the surrounding space was as hot as being in an arid desert, and the operation of his own internal force was sluggish. One palm blocked all my escape space, extremely exquisite, I believe that if I get rid of this palm with Ling Bo microstep, I will inevitably encounter the next endless blows, it will be more than worth the loss, so I can only hit Yang Jun Tiange, who has eighty percent internal force, to repel him, and then a fierce finger wind hits - it is the Demon Sect Holy Maiden, I calmly fought back with the combined finger force, and the three of them exchanged more than a dozen moves back and forth, this is just it, Li Qiushui, who was holding a sword on the side, and the Yipintang master who fired the secret weapon palm wind from time to time made me restrain my hands and feet, and I didn't dare to fight the enemy with all my strength, and I always had to retain the strength of the three successes to prevent emergencies, and what was worse was that the forbidden army of the Western Xia Palace was quickly deployed in place, and hundreds of bows and arrows stared at me, just waiting for an order to shoot me, an assassin, into a hornet's nest.

I secretly complained, I didn't expect the opponent to be so difficult, Yelu Zangming's palm is strong, the response is extremely fast, the actual combat and martial arts are a bit like Beiqiao Feng, but it is more fierce and ferocious, and I am tired of dealing with it, the so-called saint martial arts of the Demon Sect is weird, and the unpredictable finger wind is like a big net covering my whole body, even Ling Bo's micro-steps are affected, and the operation of the body is stagnant, I secretly speculate that this may be the Demon Sect Martial Arts Purple Qi Tianluo reminded me by Master Wuyazi.

The situation is getting more and more unfavorable for me, if it weren't for the fact that I used the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique to force back the attack of the two from time to time, I'm afraid I would have been seriously injured and vomited blood. But it's not a way to go on like this, the Heavenly and Human Sword Technique consumes internal strength, and the other party's skills are exquisite, so it can't be consumed like this.

Just as I was about to fight to get injured and pull out the Xiaoyao Sword to rush out of a gap, a shining sword light suddenly lit up in the shadow of the tree in the southeast corner, and then the Western Xia Forbidden Army and martial arts masters on the right were in an uproar, and more than 20 enemies fell instantly, my eyes lit up, and the Heavenly Sword Technique was used in the way of ten thousand swords returning to the sect, and in an instant, the Western Xia masters were shocked, and everyone seemed to be facing the attacks of countless swords at the same time, and the first Yelu Zangming, the Demon Sect Holy Maiden and Li Qiushui in the back were the most stressed, The old Siyun Zhonghe and more than a dozen masters of the Xixia Yipintang were pierced through their throats, chests and other parts on the spot, and they died so much that they couldn't die anymore. Taking advantage of this wave of suppression, I quickly followed my helpers and quickly escaped from the palace to the southeast corner.

Along the way, under the light of torches and candles as bright as day, the Western Xia forbidden army shouted and shouted and killed, and a dozen masters behind them continued to pursue, but with the joint efforts of me and the mysterious swordsman, we finally escaped from the palace and temporarily found a slum near the city wall to hide.
