Chapter 175
The blind monk used to be a young man with a pair of charming gemstone eyes.
The blind monk was once the most promising heir to the Li General's Mansion.
The blind monk used to be a romantic aristocrat with countless imperial beauty, and he sneered at the teachings of Buddhism.
Because of a big mistake he made in his early years, he shaved his way into the empty door, abandoned the United States and refused glory, and achieved the status of a generation of famous generals.
He thought he could be absolutely calm.
And now he looked at this cold girl who was side by side with himself, and the surging battle intent that had not been ignited in his heart for a long time could not be suppressed, engulfing his body and mind.
[Raptor's tail], Li Qing supported the horse with both hands, and his strong right leg swept towards Irelia.
[Flying + Blade Shock Wave], the knife girl stepped on the horse, rushed to a few meters above and suddenly stopped her body, and the two knives swung out a dazzling light wave.
The horse neighed, and was cut in two by the blastwave of the blade, and blood splattered like rain. Irelia didn't stop the rain of blood, her armor, her twin swords, her delicate skin was stained with red blood, looking like a female Shura returning from hell.
[Supreme Blade], Irelia is in mid-empty hands but does not stop, one sword phantom four. The four soul blades scattered around, shooting towards Li Qing who landed on the ground from the four directions of east, west, south, and south.
When the horse fell to the ground, Li Qing rolled to the ground at the last moment, dodging the incoming light waves. Who knew that Irelia didn't give him a chance to breathe at all, and as soon as she struck, it was a series of killing moves, leaving no room for maneuver for the enemy and herself. This is also the battlefield creed that Irelia has always abided by, as long as she shoots, she will live or die.
"Oh my God! Thunder! Break! Li Qing yelled. A palm shook the entire earth, and his body flew into the air due to the powerful reaction force. Bypassing the Soul Blade, his fists swept out of the sea like dragons with a powerful wind towards Irelia's side.
Until now, Li Qing has been fighting alone. The army of the Dragon Tooth and the Hades God was lined up in a tight formation at seven or eight hundred meters, but because of Li Qing's order, they never took a step beyond the Thunder Pool.
If the two armies really meet, no matter how great the Red Flame Legion has done in history, they will become spurned rebels in this senseless war.
Although Li Qing is a monk, he is indifferent to fame and fortune. But after all, he has the blood of a famous general's family in his bones, and he can understand the conspiracy and stakes in it. That's why he made this plan to fight alone. It's good to win, but it doesn't matter if you lose, anyway, it's your own private move, and when the time comes, you can completely push it all away and clear the Red Flame Legion's suspicion of rebellion.
The elite cavalry of the Red Flame Legion, who was ordered to stay put, were shocked by the power of these fists. This time, there was no need for the knife sister to explain, they got up and consciously retreated far back.
"You're good!" Irelia's smile was a little cold, and she turned the twin knives in her hand, unleashed them from the flying stance, and fluttered down.
"It's an honor to be praised by the Ionian Female Blade." Li Qing took advantage of the panic of the cavalry just now to grab a horse, and at this moment, he did not lose the momentum of facing Irelia.
"The king sent you?" The armies of both sides are on both sides, ready for a bloody battle. And the coaches of the two sides talked about each other, just like the reunion of old friends.
This picture is a little weird no matter how you look at it......
Li Qing's expression was a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head and said, "I think the king is too worried." ”
Needless to say, the two of them knew what the king's worries meant. "The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. "It has been an immutable truth since ancient times. The king has been thinking about weakening the Red Flame Legion for a long time, and this time the sword sister's disobedience gave him the best excuse.
"It's okay...... Irelia didn't show a look of disappointment on her face, "The Red Flame Legion is here to protect the family and defend the country, and it doesn't matter to us if the king doesn't understand whether they support it or not. ”
Li Qing frowned slightly, and Dao Mei's words made him a little worried. However, this is clearly not the time to discuss the future distribution of power in Ionia.
"I heard you're with Yasuo?" Li Qing asked.
"He's gone, and even if he doesn't, I won't let you take him." Irelia said vigilantly.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of arresting him, but I have something to talk to him about."
"What's the matter?"
"About his brother Yongen."
"You know where Yonn is?" Irelia rushed over excitedly, and Li Qing put on a defensive posture, "Don't get too close to me, we're still enemies now." ”
Dao Mei realized her gaffe and took a few deep breaths before continuing, "Tell me what you know?" ”
"The Queen of Blades on the battlefield is also a person who values love and righteousness!" Li Qing did not hide his appreciative gaze, "A few days ago, there was a small town outside the city of Shadingher, where there were frequent cases of disappearance. I sent someone to investigate and learned that it was a zombie rampant and a heavy loss before I caught one, which is Yon. ”
"You mean him, he turned into a zombie." Irelia had thought of it for a long time, but she had always had hope in her heart. Now listening to Li Qing tell the cruel truth, it is not like a bolt from the blue to her.
Li Qing suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Wait a minute, I will pretend to be invincible, and you will hold me hostage and order the Hades and the Dragon Tooth Legion to retreat." Then hurry to the royal city with the people you can trust, and believe that with me, you, and Yasuo, they may be able to stop this tragedy. ”
"Huh?" Dao Mei looked up suspiciously, and didn't wait to ask in detail. I only heard Li Qing shouting: "You traitor, wait to bear Haotian's wrath!" ”
[Stormy Rain], Li Qing's fists swung extremely quickly, the fist shadows flew, the strong wind raged, and the dust and sand brought up formed a translucent fist wall. Virtuality and reality, reality and fiction, all over the world are Li Qing's fists.
【Balanced Strike】Irelia does not retreat but advances, her two knives form a wheel, and the indestructible fist wall grinds out a piercing roar.
[Golden Bell Jar] Li Qing's body had a pale golden light looming, the fist wall was even tougher, and Irelia's double knives were sharpened out of sparks. Under intense pressure, she kept backing away.
【Enthusiasm - Flame Knife】Seeing that she was invincible, Irelia simply put the knife back into its sheath. The palms came together, and a blazing flame erupted. This flame condensed like a substance, converging into a heavenly sword that was several zhang long, and slashed at Li Qing's dark fist wall.
The flaming knife split the fist wall in half, and the blade exploded into a sea of fire in the middle of the blade. Li Qing screamed miserably, was burned by the flames, and fell to the ground and kept rolling.
"You lost...... Irelia looked indifferent, as if the scimitar in her hand was not on Li Qing's neck.
"Hahaha......!" Li Qing laughed, "Happy! It's been a long time since I've had such a fight. ”
Irelia threw Li Qing on the back of her horse, facing the roaring Immortal God and the Dragon's Tooth Legion, and the sound of mana infused reached everyone's ears.
"Your commander is in my hands, if you don't want him to die, just withdraw the army!"
There was a commotion in the forces of the gods and dragon's teeth, and the young elder sent by the Senate wanted to take back command of the army. What he didn't expect was that in the army, his title of honorable veteran was a fart compared to the signboard of the Li General's Mansion, the dragon teeth were all Li Qing's old department, and the god of the underworld also respected this commander with great military achievements. Therefore, in the absence of organization, they retreated silently and tacitly.
"I didn't expect your character to be good." Relieved, Irelia stared at Li Qingdao, who was lying on horseback.
"I've been praised by the Ionian Female Blade again, I'm really proud of defeat!" Li Qing lazily brushed the scalded skin, and a layer of crusted old skin fell off. The fairy is dressed loosely in front of him
The goblin **** chested
The princess gave me a for the jade column
The witch writhed in ecstasy
This boundless happiness is like a dream. I just want to sink and don't want to wake up.
After the war, Ji Yun lay on the soft grass and slept very sweetly.
It wasn't until he felt a slimy strip of object crawling on his bare chest that he sat up in shock.
The drooling bison ran away in a panic, Ji Yun smiled, and his arm habitually touched to the side.
The imaginary tender touch did not appear, and the green blades of grass emerged from his fingers.
"Akali is gone!"
Ji Yun hurriedly got dressed, lifted his pants and ran to the lake. This is an endless plain, and the only place where people can hide is the Spiegel Lake.
"Girls love to be clean, and it's normal to wash after love." Ji Yun muttered to himself while trotting to comfort himself.
Reality hit Ji Yun hard again, the lake was still clear, and a few water birds were frolicking on the shore, but there was no Akali figure.
Ji Yun was stunned, and there was a sad feeling that the hotel was forced and woke up empty.
【Eye of God Mode On】
Ji Yun was still a little unwilling, and carefully scanned every inch of land within a radius of ten miles, and found that he was really the only one left in this wasteland.
The lake water rippled slightly, and he picked up two handfuls and washed his face to calm himself down.
"You can't run away, my Shadow Fist, you should be the third wife." Ji Yun lined up the heroines who had a leg with him, the knife sister was the eldest wife, Ahri was the second wife, and the newcomer Akali was naturally the third wife.
"Bang!" When Ji Yun was in a daze, a column of water more than ten zhang high suddenly burst out in the center of the lake, and the sprinkling lake water drenched Ji Yun, who had no time to dodge, into a soup chicken.
"Damn! It couldn't be that the sick Twilight Eye is chasing after it again. Ji Yun's first reaction was to run away, but the sound from the sky made him pause.
"Ji Yun, it's me!" Karma landed on the flying carpet, her long wet hair casually draped behind her.
"What about that guy?" Ji Yun clasped his palms to his chest and looked around vigilantly.
"He said you didn't belong to him anymore, and he left after a fight with me. The sea capital is intricately intricate, and although I can feel your bearings, it took me several tries to find the right exit. Kalmar took the flying carpet and walked over.
"That's good," Ji Yun patted his chest and said with palpitations.
"By the way, what about Akali? Shen said that she took you away, why didn't you see her. Karma looked at Ji Yun suspiciously, and his big sapphire eyes shot an inquiring gaze.
"Linen belt!" Ji Yun was so anxious that he even popped out a few words of self-taught Japanese. However, it was still a step too late, and Karma's face slowly turned from white to blue, and finally turned to the same color as the sunset on the horizon.
"Shameless!" She saw some pictures that were inappropriate for children, and she was ashamed and angry, but she was reluctant to look away.
"It's you who don't listen to the warning, you have to use mind reading, what do you care about me!" Ji Yun shrugged his shoulders and turned to walk west, leaving Karma with a dashing back.
Just now, Ji Yun used the [Eye of God Mode] to scan the surroundings and found his way to the royal capital. Thinking of what happened to the knife girl, his mood became anxious again.
"Why are you going?" Karma was a little annoyed, but after all, the Apocalypse had a very important mission.
"I'm going to Irelia, the Soul Purifying Spirit Hall has been destroyed, and the Senate will definitely not let her go easily." Ji Yun didn't look back and stopped.
"Do you know where to look for her? If you find her, will you be able to save her? Karma asked.
"I didn't think about these issues, I just knew that when my woman was going through a tribulation, I had to be there for her." Ji Yun then walked forward, at this moment he was no longer the scoundrel soldier, but like a hero!
Karma smiled, "For the sake of your sincerity towards Irelia, I won't bother with you about what happened just now." Come with me! , sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter. Since you want to save people, you must first improve your strength. ”
"How to improve your strength?" These words caught Ji Yun's attention, and he finally turned around and asked curiously.
"The mission of the Apocalypse is to wait for the arrival of the next Chosen One, and then to deliver the legacy of the previous generations of the Chosen One to him." Karma paused, then continued, "Although I don't know what your Chosen One inherits, according to the records of our Apocalypse lineage, the strength of the Chosen One who has obtained the inheritance will advance by leaps and bounds to an unimaginable realm. Therefore, accepting the inheritance is your best choice, and you will have the strength to compete with those big names in the royal capital. ”
When Ji Yun heard this, his eyes had already lit up. The short-lived heroism just now disappeared, and he hugged Karma's arm tightly as if he was afraid that she would run away, "Then what are you waiting for, let's start quickly!" ”
………………………………………………………………
The battle between the Red Flame Legion and the combined army of the Dragon's Tooth ended with a thunderous rain due to the commander's private reconciliation.
Before the Senate could react, Yasuo, Li Qing, and Irelia changed into civilian clothes and sneaked into the palace under the cover of night.
The Royal Palace of Ionia is an octagonal complex that stands in the heart of Shadingher.
There are four large palace gates in the east, west, north and south respectively, named "Dongsheng, Xihua, Nanwu, and North." And at each of the eight corners there was a small palace gate, which was used to transport the goods needed in the palace and the daily garbage.
At this moment, the three of them were clinging to the glazed palace tiles, staring intently at the altar surrounded by torches.
The altar is a place reserved for Ionian soothsayers, a position that is transcendent in magical worlds like Runeterra. Formerly a soothsayer was the son of the stars, Soraka, and after she became the supreme commander of the Red Flame Legion, the position of soothsayer remained vacant until the mysterious magician appeared.
"What's this old witch doing?" Knowing that this had nothing to do with Syndra, Yasuo hung from the eaves and looked down at the situation below.
In the courtyard where the altar is located, there are super soldiers who are fully armed, and although they have not yet advanced, they have obtained combat power similar to that of beginner heroes through physical strengthening. Even a large country like Ionia only has a team of thousands of super soldiers to guard the palace, which is a well-deserved elite army.
"Look there!" Irelia suddenly noticed something surprising and almost screamed. Yasuo looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw dozens of shivering girls tied up in an inconspicuous dark corner. Looking at their undried tears and blood marks on their bodies, they should have suffered a lot.
The two looked inquiringly at Li Qing, who had been silent, and wanted to hear what he had to explain.
Li Qing is blind and not blind, with his profound magical attainments, he can completely sense the fluctuations of the vitality of heaven and earth, and form a picture in his heart. He naturally knew what kind of scene was below.
"These are some of the unmarried daughters of many high-ranking Ionian families." Li Qing's face was cloudy, but the words he left behind exploded in the ears of Dao Mei and Yasuo like thunder.
"In this way, aren't all those girls from wealthy families, and there are not a few whose parents serve in the Senate!"
Irelia looked closely, and found that the girls were bowing their heads and sobbing, and occasionally glared at the high-ranking senate officials in brocade clothes with resentful eyes. When many high-ranking officials of the Senate met those eyes, they all twisted their heads away with stiff expressions, as if they were extremely unwilling to look at them.
"Crazy, it's crazy! Where is the king, how can he still be a turtle with a shrunken head when such a big thing happens. Irelia's affection for this cowardly and jealous king who killed the donkey had long since been lost, and she was even more reluctant to say anything in her anger.
"Your Majesty?" Li Qing smiled self-deprecatingly, "Even Princess Liya is among them, how could he come out to stop it." ”
"What!" Irelia was impulsive and wanted to jump in to save people, but was stopped by Yasuo and Li Qingqi.
"Don't be impulsive, listen to me first." Li Qing glared at Irelia who was about to move with a stern gaze.
"It all started when I received a secret letter from the palace...... "Ionian Night of the First Moon, two weeks ago.
Princess Liya hugged a cute frog pillow, lying on the delicate windowsill, supporting her little head and big eyes to look at the crescent moon hanging in the sky without blinking.
"Luna, Luna, can you hear me?" Princess Lia whispered to herself.
"Father's illness is getting worse and worse, please bless him to get better soon."
The soft moonlight poured down on her body like mercury, like a hazy veil for Princess Liya.
"Lord Luna, you must be able to do it, Sister Soraka said that you are the guardian of the night, and you are a great shrine like the sun." After making a wish, she sincerely closed her eyes again, made a great gift to the sky, and then returned to the small bed and hugged the frog pillow and fell asleep sweetly.
In another luxurious bedroom with gold-stuccoed walls and jade-floored floors, the lights flickered, and Wang Shangzheng was talking late at night with a man hidden in the shadows.
"Is there really no other way?" The king, who has always been well-looking, has silver flashes in his black hair, and his usually bright eyes have dimmed a lot.
"I think Your Majesty should be well aware that your borrowing period is coming to an end, and if you don't continue it in time, I'm afraid you'll ......" The mysterious man pulled back his cloak, and the ugly skull was revealed.
Chains the thickness of his arms were wrapped around his waist, and his empty shell burned with icy flames.
This person turned out to be the Warden of the Soul Lock - Hammerstone!
"But she's my only daughter!" The king's face was dejected, and his fist-clenched arms trembled.
"I can't stay too long, and I ask Your Majesty to make a decision early. Incidentally, General Burnham Darkwell is a regular customer. A faint smile appeared on Hammerstone's face, he knew that he must win this game in the end, and no one believed that anyone could refuse the temptation of life.
The king remembered some rumors about General Burnham Darkwell, the eternal commander of Noxus, who had lived for countless years to live such a long lifespan by necromancy.
Looking at this proud demon, the king knew the truth of the matter, which was not at all what the outside world said. Burnham Darkwell, like himself, made a dirty deal with Shadow Isle to buy and sell his life in order to survive longer.
"I trade my daughter's life in exchange, how much life can I get?" The hard nails cut the palms bloody, and the king finally made a decision.
Hammerstone pulled out a worn-out pamphlet from his bosom, and his fingernails lightly carved Princess Lia's name on it.
"Your daughter is amazingly gifted and has a physique close to God, which is not comparable to your original stupid son. I hammer the stone to do things, Tong Su is not bullied, and the price is twenty years of life. ”
"Twenty years!" The king muttered to himself like a madman, the sadness just now was carved into the wrinkles, and a ghostly smile appeared on his old face, which was no longer in his prime.
"Twenty years, that's enough! The deal closes. ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the success of the life extension and longevity." Hammerstone put away the ledger and laughed wildly as well.
"These greedy humans are waiting for the king of the dead to rule the earth!"
"Tuk Tuk!" A sharp knock on the door woke Princess Lia up.
"Who!" She rubbed her sleepy eyes and reluctantly got up.
These days, because she is worried about her father's physical condition, she has never slept well. Being woken up by someone, of course, will not be very pleasant.
"I said you ......," opened the door, and before Princess Lia could finish complaining, someone covered her mouth and pushed her into the room.
"@@%&*$%&$" Princess Lia let out a vague remark and kicked her feet wildly.
"Princess, it's me! Xiaoqing. You don't shout. The familiar voice quieted the frightened Princess Liya, and opened her eyes carefully, not seeing a strong man in stockings, but her personal maid.
"What are you doing! Dead Xiaoqing. Princess Lia struggled to sit up, glaring at the mischievous maid with shame and annoyance.
"Princess, listen to me," Xiaoqing's face was a little frightened, "hurry up and run!" I heard the king say that he would sacrifice you to heaven. ”
"Sacrifice?" Princess Liya was a little puzzled, "Isn't it often there?" ”
"But this time you are a sacrifice, just like those pigs, cows, sheep and chickens before, you will be killed!" Xiaoqing was in a hurry to explain to Princess Liya, who was ignorant of the world, and even her words were vulgar.
"How...... Will it be? "Princess Liya has been struck by lightning." Are you kidding? But looking at Xiaoqing's panicked expression, she knew that this was no joke.
Although their status is very different, their relationship is as close as sisters, otherwise Xiaoqing would not be willing to risk killing her head to report to her.
"Princess, don't be in a daze! Hurry up and run! With a crying voice, Xiaoqing pulled the depressed Princess Liya up from the ground.
Suddenly, there was the sound of running in the hallway, and the lampstands were lit one by one. The whole palace was like a giant beast with its eyes opened, ready to devour the young life.
"It's too late, princess!" Xiao Qingyin bit her teeth and pushed the depressed Princess Liya off the windowsill.
The hurried knock on the door rang again, and Xiaoqing pushed the bed and table behind the door, and jumped downstairs herself.
Princess Liya's room is on the second floor, and Xiaoqing also knows some martial arts, so she is not injured. But when she lifted Princess Lia on the ground, she found that she had a terrible cut in her face with a stone.
"Liya, I ......" Xiaoqing wiped the blood off her face distressedly, but the new blood flowed out as if she didn't need money.
"It's okay!" Princess Liya shook the hands of her good sister who had sacrificed her life and forgot her death, and showed a bright smile. Things got to such a point that she calmed down.
"The princess is not here!"
"Look, the window is open!"
"Princess Liya has escaped, hurry up and chase after her!"
Loud voices wafted through the night sky, and the gate of the princess's courtyard was slammed open, and a large number of ironclad sergeants broke in. The bright sword is still sharp even at night.
"We can't escape, Xiaoqing." Princess Lia pointed to the influx of soldiers.
"Princess, it's Xiaoqing who is incompetent." Xiaoqing's tears were like rain, and she couldn't cry.
"It's none of your business." Princess Liya interrupted Xiaoqing's self-blame.
"I don't know why my father killed me, but I feel a dark shadow devouring the land of Ionia. My safety doesn't matter, you take my token and go to the Li General's Mansion to find Li Qing, he will know what to do. ”
"What about you, princess?" Xiaoqing choked up.
"Don't you understand?" Princess Liya was resolute, "Only one of us can escape. ”
"Let's go!" Princess Liya gave Xiaoqing a blue transparent bead and pushed her behind the rockery.
"Princess!" Xiaoqing shouted heartbreakingly, but saw that Princess Liya took out the courage that she didn't have on weekdays, and faced the soldiers' swords and guns, as light as light
The bird rushed in the opposite direction.
"I've found the princess, catch her!" The reacting soldiers began to close the circle.
"The king has decreed that the princess has fornicated with Noxus and wants to commit treason, and her sin is unforgivable! With immediate effect, the princess will be stripped of her title and detained pending trial. The hastily arrived internal officer announced the king's latest directive, which made the restrained soldiers even more ferocious for a while.
"Hehe, a plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken." A few of the soldiers even smiled wickedly.
"The Li General's Mansion...... Looking for Li Qing...... Lee's General's Mansion ...... Looking for Li Qing ......" Xiaoqing repeated these words countless times in her heart, this is Princess Liya's last hope, she must convey the news.
In the carnival of flames and swords, no one noticed that a little girl in the princess's mansion slipped out.
