Chapter 19: Arriving at Jianye City
In the vast white world, the snow is blowing non-stop.
Thousands of miles above the glacier, the biting cold wind blows, whistling through the ice veins and mountains, and the ferocious strength leaves one after another marks on it, making this ice and snow world even more desolate.
"Master! Are you alright? In the ice cave, Liu Canghai, the chief disciple of the Tang Dynasty's official mansion, helped Cheng Boxian to sit up slowly.
"It's fine!" Cheng Boxian coughed lightly and said, "During the time I was in a coma, how are your juniors doing?"
"Master, you'd better heal your injuries first! I'll talk about the rest of the story when I get back. ”
Cheng Boxian snorted and said, "Say!"
Liu Canghai was startled, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "This time, I found the traces of the demon wind in Beiju Luzhou, because the incident happened suddenly, so many disciples who were out of the house didn't come to inform them, so they hurried over."
"We prepared in a hurry, and most of our disciples were mainly brave. But I thought that with the master you in, it shouldn't be a big deal for us to deal with that demon wind together, but who knew that the three demons of the demon forest, demon fire, and demon mountain would be killed halfway. Since the master was ambushed by them and was injured and passed out, they have become more and more rampant, almost trying to forcibly kill out of the encirclement of our Tang Dynasty official mansion. In desperation, I could only discuss with the elders, mainly the brave martial disciples, and led the junior disciples to launch a formation to drag their four demons, although they did not let these four demons escape before the people of the other factions came, but our Tang Dynasty Mansion also suffered heavy losses because of this. Among them, the losses of the brave disciples were particularly tragic......"
Cheng Boxian's body trembled slightly, closed his eyes and said, "How is it exactly?"
Liu Canghai's voice was sad, and his heartache was overflowing. "The disciples have suffered a total of seventeen casualties, and the elders' casualties are as high as six!"
Cheng Boxian's body shook for a moment, only to feel the blood in his chest surging, and then a sweet mouth spurted out of his mouth, and then his eyes turned black, and he fell straight back.
Liu Canghai was startled and exclaimed, "Master."
Liu Canghai hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Cheng Boxian, his hand glowed with blue light, and the true qi continued to be transported into Cheng Boxian's body.
After a long time, Cheng Boxian's face softened slightly, and he plunged the blood-red knife in his hand into the ice, allowing his body to barely hold on.
Cheng Boxian gritted his teeth and asked, "How is the situation of the four demons?"
When Liu Canghai heard this, he said in a deep voice: "We don't know this at present, after the other people arrived, most of our people from the Tang Dynasty Mansion were seriously injured, and they all retreated from the battle in desperation, so now I don't know much about their situation!"
"But don't worry, master!" Liu Canghai saw that Cheng Boxian's face instantly became gloomy, and hurriedly said: "There are five major sects such as Fangcun Mountain, Huasheng Temple, Heavenly Palace, and Difu that came this time, and the number of people who came together is about eighty people, including Yu Xiao, the chief disciple of Huasheng Temple, Wang Xin, the chief disciple of Fangcun Mountain, and Ye Yue, the chief disciple of Difu, and as for the Heavenly Palace, although they did not send the chief disciple here, but Li Jing, the king of Tota, came in person!" With so many people in it, I'm afraid that even if Chiyou is born, it won't be so easy to escape! ”
When Cheng Boxian heard this, his face softened slightly, but his tone did not relax. "These four demons are highly cultivated, and their evil power is even more strange, we must not take it lightly!"
When Liu Canghai heard this, he nodded heavily and said, "Hmm!"
Suddenly, a hurried voice rang out.
"Master, chief, it's not good!" Xie Shihua's sword flew from the snow.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Boxian faintly felt a little uneasy.
"Demon Wind ......" Xie Shihua's voice trembled, as if even he couldn't believe what he said next.
"What's wrong with Demon Wind?" Cheng Boxian asked angrily.
"Demon Wind Escaped !!"
…………
"Wow, is this Jianye City? It's so lively, there are so many people! Feiyan'er walked back and forth among the crowd on the street, shouting excitedly.
Cheng Xiaohu looked at Feiyan'er's innocent and romantic appearance, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
In fact, Jianye City is not large, the population is not large, the whole city is located near the East Bay, is a beautiful scenery, calm and peaceful small city in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's just that Feiyan'er has survived on the high mountains of the world since she was a child, and she has never even seen a few small villages when she first entered the world, but now she has entered Jianye City and is naturally excited to see such a small city with Jiangnan characteristics living alone.
"Brother Cheng, I have already instructed my subordinates to book a few good rooms at the Laifu Inn in the city, I wonder if Brother Cheng and Fei Maiden can go together?" Li Sanlang said.
When Cheng Xiaohu heard this, he smiled a little apologetically, and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Li for your kindness, but there are really important things to do, let's leave it at that!"
When Li Sanlang heard this, he didn't continue to force the invitation, so he arched his hand and said, "Then let's say goodbye!"
"Wang ......" The guards watched Cheng Xiaohu and Feiyan'er walk away, and wanted to shout.
"Huh?" Li Sanlang's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at the guard coldly.
"Young Master!" The guards hurriedly changed their words.
Li Sanlang's eyes were deep, and he said lightly, "Say it!"
"Just let them go? If we befriend that young man named Cheng Xiaohu, we may have a ...... for you in the future."
Li Sanlang's folding fan in his hand was raised, stopping him from continuing.
He looked at Cheng Xiaohu's back for a long time, shook his head and said, "Forget it, everything is as it is!"
Suddenly, he changed his words and said, "Moreover, the Tang Dynasty Mansion is not so easy to use......
"Let's go!" Li Sanlang turned around and said lightly: "Zishou, they should already be waiting for us!"
"Yes, young master!"
…………
"Hey, Xiaohu, why do I always feel that you seem to be a little respectful of that Li Sanlang?" Feiyan'er and Cheng Xiaohu walked on the path, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the entire alley.
After hearing this, Cheng Xiaohu nodded and did not deny it.
"Why?" Feiyan'er was a little puzzled.
Cheng Xiaohu said: "That person's popularity is extremely extraordinary, and Mei Yujian is also full of arrogance, and although he has no strength on his body, but in front of him, even those who cultivate immortals like us will involuntarily be restrained for a point or two, and his momentum is definitely not what an ordinary young master has."
"And," Cheng Xiaohu continued: "I heard him speak with an accent similar to mine, so he must be the same as me, he is also from the capital, and he is also the son of those big families in the capital!"
Feiyan'er was puzzled and asked, "Then what does this have to do with you alienating him?"
Cheng Xiaohu said slowly: "The problem is here! In the first two years, I was sent by my master to deliver letters to those big families in the capital almost every month, such as Di Renjie, the prime minister of the dynasty, Wei Yuanzhong, etc., I mostly know the situation in these big families, and I have a little impression of their descendants and descendants, but I have no impression of this Li Sanlang! ”
"So!" Cheng Xiaohu said solemnly: "If he is really a child of the capital, then he is definitely a child of a big family that I have never sent a letter to." However, looking at the whole capital, there is only one big family that I have not sent a letter! ”
Feiyan'er asked curiously, "Where?"
Cheng Xiaohu calmed down and slowly spit out two words. "The Imperial Palace!"
Feiyan'er was taken aback and said, "You mean, that Li Sanlang is a member of the royal family?"
"Maybe!" Cheng Xiaohu whispered: "Moreover, don't forget, his surname is Li!"
Feiyan'er pondered for a while and said, "Then you alienate him because of this, do you not want to have anything to do with the royal family?"
Cheng Xiaohu nodded and said, "Our Tang Dynasty Mansion has door rules!" Disciples are not allowed to associate with people in the royal family at will. ”
"Why?" Feiyan'er asked puzzled.
Cheng Xiaohu said in a low voice: "Because our Tang government has made an oath that we will never participate in the struggle of the royal family. Therefore, just in case, naturally his disciples are not allowed to interact with people in the royal family. ”
"I see!" Feiyan'er suddenly realized.
"Moreover, although I am not very sure that Li Sanlang is a member of the royal family, I can clearly feel that when he learned that I was a disciple of the Tang Dynasty, his enthusiasm for me along the way was obviously higher than yours, don't forget, you saved his life, but he was familiar with me just because I was a disciple of the Tang Dynasty. It is difficult to say that this kind of person has no bad intentions in his dealings with us. So in order to save some unnecessary trouble, for him, we can stay away from it! Cheng Xiaohu spread his hands and said.
"Hmm!" Feiyan'er nodded, she didn't care much about whether she knew Li Sanlang or not.
She has just entered the world, she is innocent and lively, and she has not observed these people thoroughly, but she always has this inexplicable trust in Cheng Xiaohu, and now that Cheng Xiaohu said so, then she naturally doesn't care, anyway, Li Sanlang is just a passerby who is saved at will when the road is uneven.
The two walked in the alley for a long time, and it was not until the sun went down that Cheng Xiaohu stopped in front of a small courtyard.
"This should be it!" Cheng Xiaohu carefully identified the location on the envelope again, and after confirming that it was correct, he stepped forward and gently buckled the door knocker.
"Who!" Inside the courtyard, a childish voice came out.
"Excuse me, does Lei Heizi Lei live here?" Cheng Xiaohu shouted.
"Squeak!" The courtyard door opened, and a child poked his head out and said, "Who are you?"
