Chapter 71
In fact, Gu Panxi is not so fragile, the reason why she cries so much is just to let Li Xunlian coax her for a while, not to mention that she also knows Li in her heart, Li Xunlian's words are really unintentional.
It's just that this feeling is very strange and sweet, the more coaxing it is, the more I want to cry, and at the same time, the more beautiful it is in my heart.
Li Xunlian could not even understand Gu Panxi's girl's heart, and after coaxing for a long time, his head was about to explode, but it did not get better, but became more and more serious.
Now that I heard that someone was coming, I was happy in my heart, and the secret path could finally take the opportunity to escape for my life. However, what he didn't expect was that the news brought by this person was indeed so heavy that he couldn't react for a while.
Hu Wan had an accident, how could he have an accident. But there was absolutely no reason for the guards to play such a joke on themselves......
"What's wrong with him?" Li Xunlian's heart jumped, and he asked cautiously, for fear that the guard's answer would make it difficult for him to accept.
At this time, Gu Panxi stopped crying, she was still very sensible.
"I don't know what's wrong, Childe, let's go over and take a look, it seems to be ...... Crazy!" the guard grinned.
Crazy? How can it be crazy?
Li Xunlian hurriedly put down the tea set in his hand, and then went to the tent where Hu Wan lived with Gu Panxi.
When they arrived nearby, they saw that the front of the camp had been surrounded by water, and many guards pointed and pointed out, all discussing the matter.
"Don't guess, do what you need to do. Li Xunlian was not in a very good mood, and he didn't have a good tone when he saw this situation.
When everyone saw that the son was coming, they all dispersed. Since Hu Wan joined later, he was not particularly familiar with them, so what happened was not more of a concern, but a discussion.
This is also human nature, Li Xunlian is not angry because of this, but just a little unhappy.
Entering the tent, only Mei Wu is here. Huanfeng and Kunshan are not in the camp on weekdays, and they usually go out and walk around, observing all possible enemy situations, as for why Su is not there, Li Xunlian doesn't know.
"How's it going?" Li Xunlian walked quickly to the bedside, and at this moment Hu Wan was asleep on the bed with his eyes closed.
"Early this morning, I heard someone shouting, and when I got out of the tent, I saw Hu Wan roaring into the air, and he often made swinging movements in his hands, like a nightmare. No matter how I screamed, I couldn't wake him up, and it was useless to pour Xuan Qi into his body, so I had no choice but to knock him unconscious. Mei Wu frowned and said.
Listening, Li Xunlian also frowned, if it was just an ordinary nightmare, shouting a few names should be able to wake up, and if it was more serious, stimulating the spirit with Xuan Qi could also wake up, like Hu Wan's situation, it is really a bit weird.
"Hu Wan, Hu Wan?" Li Xunlian leaned in and whispered.
Naturally, there was no reaction, Hu Wan still had his eyes closed, although he was in a fainting, but through his facial expression, it could be seen that he was not in a state of complete fainting without consciousness at this time, and he should still be experiencing some kind of doom in his consciousness.
"Could it be that you fell into the Gu, or someone lowered your head?" Mei Wu asked.
"It's possible, but it's very unlikely. Li Xunlian shook his head and said: "This is the military camp, and there are four of you in charge, who can not think that you will do something to Hu Wan here?"
"Maybe it's the power of the Divine Sea. Mei Wu asked rhetorically.
"Impossible, if Shenhai Power wants to harm Hu Wan, he still needs to use the Gu Seed Drop? What's more, if someone really comes here to harm people, the first target should be me. Li Xunlian got up and walked to the door of the tent, called a guard, and told him to get Kunshan back as soon as possible.
"Could it be Hu Wan's previous enemy?" Gu Panxi couldn't help but ask, she was really very sensible, in the face of major events, she usually didn't speak, as long as she spoke, it was all after careful consideration, which was in stark contrast to her usual madness.
Li Xunlian nodded, this is also possible, Hu Wan grew up eating hundreds of bandits before, and the characters he met were mixed, and all kinds of strange ways were involved, so it is not ruled out that someone with low strength can sneak in here and attack Hu Wan under the noses of the four sword slaves.
It is also pointless to speculate, and then the three of them waited for Kun Shan to come back, among the four sword slaves, Kun Shan has the most knowledge, and his opinion should be of some use.
"By the way, what about Su?" asked Li Xunlian.
"Still sleeping, ...... last night" Mei Wu suddenly stopped when she said this, because she realized that Gu Panxi was still here, and there were some things that could be said in front of Li Xunlian, but she couldn't say them in front of Gu Panxi.
Li Xunlian nodded awkwardly, this is really to the point, obviously, Su and Mei Wu lived together last night, as for what happened, there is no need to explain in detail.
After waiting for about half an hour, Kunshan and Huanfeng returned one after another, but Su also woke up, and everyone gathered in the tent to express their opinions.
After a lot of discussion, in the end, it was indeed Kunshan's point of view that was the most useful, first of all, he denied that someone came to assassinate Hu Wan, because Hu Wan's camp was next to Mei Wu, and on the side was Su Qi, and Su was next to Gu Panxi, so the arrangement was to ensure the safety of the two.
With the two of them on the left and the other on the right, there is absolutely no possibility that anyone will secretly inflict poisonous hands.
Secondly, he asked everyone to tell in detail what they had seen and Hu Wan had done, except for the killing of two sharp knife generals last night, there was nothing unusual worth scrutinizing.
So Kunshan felt that Hu Wan was probably stimulated in the process of killing. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, some of the two people Hu Wan killed were good at witchcraft, and they were quietly planted on Hu Wan before he died.
However, this possibility was very small, because among the Gu techniques they knew, there didn't seem to be any Gu techniques that could be planted into a person's body while they were awake.
This can be explained by the fact that this person is clever and has abilities that they do not understand.
But if he really has this ability, how can he just be a pawn of the Sharp Knife Force.
In fact, all kinds of speculation are not very reasonable, because the matter itself is contrary to common sense. But at present, it is quite possible that Kunshan is still very likely, and he was stimulated by killing people, resulting in instability, so that this kind of thing happened.
"Actually, I think it's a lot more complicated than we think. Su was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke.
Everyone nodded, and everyone had a score in their hearts. Although Kunshan's view is the most likely, it is only relative. Hu Wan is not a novice who has never killed anyone, Li Xunlian dares to guarantee that before entering the inn, he has already had his life in his hands, which can be seen from the battle in the middle of the lake after the smelting weapon competition. Such a person, you say that he was stimulated by murder, is it possible?
Obviously, it is possible, but it is extremely unlikely.
"What should I do, do you want to write a letter to ask the chief treasurer?" After a long discussion but unable to come up with a safe inference, Mei Wu asked anxiously.
Li Xunlian thought twice and wrote a letter.
The reason why he thinks about it is because he understands the big treasurer. Hu Wan, as his good brother, will definitely attach great importance to the big shopkeeper if something happens, not to mention that Hu Wan is now the second son of the inn. In this way, the big treasurer is likely to leave everything at hand and rush to it, thus delaying some important matters. And at present, Hu Wan is only in a coma, although the situation is very weird, but after all, there is no big problem, and he specially brought the big shopkeeper over, which is a bit of a fuss.
But that can't be helped, there is only one Hu Wan, if something happens to him, Li Xunlian will regret it for the rest of his life.
As for why Li Xunlian felt that Hu Wan might have an accident, he couldn't explain Li clearly, and forcibly explained, it can only be said that this is a strong intuition.
After the letter was written and stuffed into the letterbox, Li Xunlian watched the carrier pigeon fly out of sight before turning it back into the account. This is near the battlefield, and it is necessary to ensure that the carrier pigeons are not shot down and intercepted.
The atmosphere in the big tent was very depressing, Li Xunlian felt an inexplicable depression and annoyance in his heart, he faintly felt that the development of things would exceed his expectations, but he didn't know where this feeling came from, in short, he was restless and restless, and it was difficult to calm down.
Gu Panxi gently pressed Li Xunlian's shoulder from the side to comfort her, Li Xunlian glanced up at her, and his heart calmed down a little.
While everyone was frowning, there was a sudden loud sound of trumpets and war drums in the distance, and the sound came from ten miles away, and there was more than one, and there were more than one, but it was difficult to hear clearly.
This is a signal that the enemy is coming to attack or urgently assemble, Li Xunlian and the others were shocked when they heard it, and they glanced at each other, and they all secretly said in their hearts, it was really an eventful autumn!
instructed the four sword slaves to lead the guards first, and Li Xunlian had to settle Hu Wan before he could pass. The four of them took the order and left, and only Li Xunlian, Gu Panxi, and Hu Wan, who were in a coma, were left in the big tent.
"I have a hunch that something could happen here at any time that I, even the Four Sword Slaves, can't control, so you can't stay here. Li Xunlian was silent for a moment and spoke.
Gu Panxi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. In fact, she wants to stay, as long as she stays with Li Xunlian, she is not afraid of the danger of the battlefield, and she is not afraid of those unknown dangers. It's just that she can't let Li Xunlian worry, because as long as she is there, Li Xunlian will be distracted to take care of herself, and Gu Panxi can't allow herself to be a drag on Li Xunlian.
"And when am I leaving?"
Li Xunlian thought about it for a while, and said, "I don't worry if you go back by yourself, wait for the big shopkeeper to come, and then you go back to Shenjian Peak with him." ”
"Okay, then you...... Be careful. ”
Li Xunlian nodded, and immediately looked at Hu Wan, who still had his eyes closed, and the expression on his face became more and more painful. It's not accurate to say that it is painful, it should be a struggle, in short, it is very abnormal.
"Looks like he won't wake up for a while, so you can stay here and take care of him for now. Speaking of this, Li Xunlian paused for a moment and said, "Remember, if there is any accident, it is the most important thing to protect yourself." I will leave five hundred guards to protect you, this is the first big battle, and the four sword slaves must all come forward, otherwise it may be easy for Zhu Tong to cause misunderstanding. ”
"I know, don't worry. Gu Panxi smiled gently, in front of the real thing, Li Xun didn't even need to explain anything to her.
Then, Li Xunlian looked at Gu Panxi deeply, said "I'll go", and then left.
On the way out of the big tent, Li Xunlian's heart was always depressed, he vigorously recalled all the witchcraft he knew, and even felt a little angry at himself at the moment, why he hadn't read many books about this in the ten years of Shenjian Peak.
The Four Sword Slaves had the same idea as him, but in fact they all stayed in a misunderstanding. Gu art, why must it be Gu art, when they focused on Hu Wan himself, no one noticed that the Xuanwu shield that had not been accepted into the Sumeru ring by Hu Wan stood diagonally next to the desk, as if it had been carefully examined, and as Hu Wan's facial expression struggled more and more, the strange patterns on the shield seemed to become more and more complicated......
Coming out of the camp, the four sword slaves had already integrated the team, and then Li Xunlian came to Ruan Dongfeng, it was the guy who looked like Hu Wan, and it was precisely because of this that Li Xunlian was also deeply impressed by him.
The purpose of finding him was to explain to him the matter of protecting Gu Panxi, relatively speaking, Li Xunlian still knew him well among the 1,500 people, so he could feel a little relieved that this matter was handed over to him.
After everything was taken care of, everyone set off for the main camp to join Zhu Tong.
The camp stretched for dozens of miles, flanked on both sides by mountains, which were not very high, and all the trees that had grown luxuriantly had been cut down in order to prevent the enemy from attacking or hiding.
When he came to Zhu Tong's big tent, it was already a few moments later, and at this time, Zhu Tong was standing with his hands at the mouth of the tent and looking at the south, and when he looked at it, he could see the flag swaying and the drums faintly heard.
"It's coming. Seeing Li Xunlian, Zhu Tong said hello.
Li Xunlian nodded, got straight to the point, and said, "King Cheng called for the battle this time, how many people are there?"
"According to the report of the scout, more than 5,000 people. Zhu Tong said casually, not seeming to care very much.
It is also true that the call of 5,000 people is nothing more than testing each other, which is nothing for a big war that often costs tens of thousands or even more than 100,000.
Frowning slightly, Li Xunlian was a little puzzled, since it was not a particularly important war, why did Zhu Tong send such a signal, if there were no special circumstances, it would really be a bit of a fuss.
However, looking at his expression, it seems that he does not care about this temptation battle, but has other worries.
Sure enough, Zhu Tong immediately opened his mouth and said: "King Cheng made an appointment to fight this time, and asked me to go out by name, and on their side, it was the Taishou of Zhennan Guan who personally went out. ”
As soon as he said this, Li Xunlian knew that Zhennan Guan's cultivation was around the peak of Guxuan, which was not very high, and it was precisely because of this that King Cheng arranged this seemingly fair provocation.
However, Zhu Tong is the identity of the prince and the governor of this expedition, although the other party is also the number one person in Zhennan Pass, but Zhu Tong is obviously a little inconsistent with his identity, whether he wins or loses, it is a little inappropriate. But if he doesn't fight, he will obviously be left behind.
He is the person who will be the Ninth Five-Year Venerable in the future, and this kind of stain must not appear on him.
"What do you mean?" asked Li Xunlian.
"Actually, if you really want this palace to fight, it's not impossible, it's just a humble identity of the town and Nanguan Taishou, why make an appointment to fight this palace, if King Cheng personally goes out, this palace is willing to accompany him to the end. Zhu Tong was a little unnatural when he said this sentence again.
Li Xunlian was so smart that he could see Zhu Tong's true thoughts at a glance.
He wanted to make himself fight, but he was embarrassed to say it. As he said, he can fight against Cheng Wang, but Cheng Wang is a strong man in Tianhe Realm, and it is an exaggeration to say that he can kill Zhu Tong by raising his hand, and Zhu Tong is not a fool, how can he reverse the past to fight and become a king.
In this way, it is a dilemma, he feels that Zhennanguan Taishou does not match his identity, but the king of Cheng who matches his identity is too strong, so what should he do?
Obviously, under the pretext that his identity does not match, he can send a person with a similar identity to himself to face the Taishou of Zhennan Pass.
And this person is naturally Li Xunlian.
Li Xunlian was silent for a moment, and then took the initiative to say: "I will go to the battle town Nanguan Taishou on your behalf." ”
Zhu Tong didn't shirk when he heard this, he was a little careless, if he was prevaricating, he was really pretending. In fact, if this matter hadn't caused public opinion to some extent, he really wouldn't have let Li Xunlian replace him, but being in the imperial court and being the crown prince, he couldn't do many things according to his own temperament.
It is precisely because of this that Li Xunlian will appear for a short period of silence. He is not blaming Zhu Tong, but he is somewhat sympathetic to the latter, the crown prince's throne of the Ninety-Five, which seems to be the pinnacle of infinite scenery, but he has to exchange it for himself.
This is only what Li Xunlian can see, what he can't see, maybe more.
In short, born in the emperor's family, from the moment he came into the world, he was no longer and could not be himself.
Then he led the army, Zhu Tong rode the Nine Treasures Carved Dragon Golden Wheel to watch the formation, and Li Xunlian rode a very golden-maned BMW, this horse is Zhu Tong's royal car, but in order to show respect for Li Xunlian, and it is also Liao's apology, this time Li Xunlian will ride.
The two armies faced each other, the gongs and drums shook the sky, and the Zhennan Pass swept out a horse from afar, and stopped in the middle of the two armies.
Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong glanced at each other, and then immediately slapped their horses forward and greeted them.
When you get here, you can see the situation of the opponent's camp clearly, the same as Zhu Tong, King Cheng is also watching the battle in the array, and the chariot he is riding on is also an emperor-level specification, with eighteen flags on both sides of the chariot with a black background, and the word "Cheng Huang" in each book.
"Is he the innkeeper?" beside King Cheng, the demon boy asked with a faint smile. He smiled wickedly, with a playful taste.
King Cheng nodded slightly, now he is in front of the two armies, it is impossible for him to grovel to the demon boy, otherwise he will hurt his face and prestige in the army.
The demonic young man is also quite "reasonable", and his attitude towards King Cheng in this scene is definitely impossible to mention, but at least it did not cause embarrassment as yesterday.
"Interesting. The demon boy nodded, locked his gaze on Li Xunlian, and did not speak again.
King Cheng didn't know what he meant by what he said, but this person was more interested in Li Xunlian, but in fact, the demon boy could see Li Xunlian's difference at a glance, such as the body vein, such as the three qi body.
Of course, no matter how unfathomable he was, he couldn't directly distinguish the three qi in the same body, he just noticed that Li Xunlian's Xuan Qi fluctuations were very unusual, and it seemed to contain a variety of breaths.
Before turning his gaze back to the formation, Li Xunlian and Zhennan Guan Taishou stood still, and the two had been looking at each other for a long time, but they couldn't see the flaws in each other.
"It's Zhu Tong who is about to fight this general, what kind of thing are you?" Zhennan Guan Taishou was the first to speak, deliberately provocative.
The other party wanted to provoke himself, Li Xunlian was very clear in his heart, so he replied: "Your Highness is just a pawn by your side, and with your identity, you are only worthy of fighting me." ”
Zhennan Guan Taishou was slightly angry when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, after all, he was a veteran of a hundred battles, how could there be such a stupid situation that provoked people instead of being excited.
"Ben will not behead the unknown under the sword, and report the name. Zhennan Guan Taishou took out the treasure knife on his waist and shouted loudly.
He has lived in the south for a long time, and he doesn't know Li Xunlian, although he has heard about Li Xunlian's deeds, but he can't imagine that standing in front of him is the famous innkeeper.
"Names don't have to be reported. Li Xunlian smiled evilly, and suddenly changed his words, and said, "Because, you must be the one who dies!"
"Wow, you are an arrogant child, General Ben will definitely cut off your dog's head today!" Zhennan Guan Taishou roared wildly, and immediately slapped his horse to attack, and the treasure knife in his hand slashed in the air, and a red knife shot out.
Although Li Xunlian's words were contemptuous, he still attached great importance to this person in his heart, and it was taboo to underestimate the enemy in battle, whether it was fighting in the rivers and lakes, or fighting on the battlefield, it was an extremely stupid behavior to underestimate the enemy.
The crimson knife was in the shape of a half-moon, and the momentum was amazing, and it slashed diagonally all the way, and it actually opened a large hole several feet deep in the ground.
Seeing this, Li Xunlian was a little more cautious, grabbed the reins and wanted to dodge to the side, but the BMW sat down and played a role in this matter, but under this strangulation, it didn't move at all.
Li Xunlian secretly said that it was not good, so he had to use Xuan Qi to prepare for hard connection. At the same time, in his own phalanx, Zhu Tong also showed a look of regret, he should have thought that his mount was irritable and abnormal, and it would be difficult for people to ride after encountering stimulation.
In the loud bang, a dazzling light erupted from the place where Li Xunlian was, and even the dust and smoke filled the sky, enveloping the scene, making it impossible to see Li clearly.
On the other side, Zhennan Pass was too guarded to be thoughtful, and did not wait for the dust to disperse, and directly swept the horse forward, intending to take advantage of this opportunity to make up another knife to ensure that Li Xunlian was killed.
Fang Cai's blow was really powerful, and Li Xunlian defended like a mountain without moving, and his internal organs were shaken and churned. It can be seen that the other party has stayed in the realm of the pinnacle of Gu Xuan for many years, and has never been able to break through, but he has also condensed the Qi Sea Xuan Qi very thickly over time.
This is the advantage of not breaking through, the longer you are in a realm card, the more advantageous you will be against people of the same level. In fact, the same is true of the Great Shopkeeper and the Qingxiao Emperor, but for them, looking at the world's arbitrary Xuan cultivation is no longer a question of whether they have an advantage or not, but who can block their blow.
Li Xunlian's blood was boiling here, he was holding a sword to condense the enchantment, so the tiger's mouth was a little numb at this moment, but before he could react, his keen perception was that the other party had rushed quickly.
Gritting his teeth, Li Xunlian quickly made a decision, although it was a loss of face to abandon the horse, but the victory or defeat was the most important.
As Li Xunlian spun around, the Xuan Qi protection disappeared immediately, and when he sat down, the BMW let out a miserable hiss, and it exploded directly into a blood mist.
Even if it is still so powerful!
didn't have time to feel sorry for this majestic horse, Li Xunlian turned around and raised his vision widely, and directly locked on the Zhennan Guan Taishou who was rushing forward and preparing to launch the second sword.
The dragon shadow sword hummed suddenly, and bursts of frost covered the sword body in an instant, and Li Xunlian's cold ice sword qi had already become small, and this time it was just used to verify the power.
While rising in the air, Li Xunlian pinched the sword in his left hand and held the sword in his right hand, and the cold air continued to condense, and in an instant, it had covered the surrounding five zhang, and in these five zhang, it seemed that the void was frozen, as if it had turned into a side of ice and snow.
Below, Zhennan Guan Taishou noticed something was wrong, and when he looked up, he found Li Xunlian who was casting a spell, only to see that his wrist was reversed, and he immediately threw out a knife again.
The sword roared coldly, Li Xunlian's eyebrows sank slightly, and the long sword stabbed down suddenly. Suddenly, the azure sword carried a great power that seemed to be able to freeze everything, and swept towards the Taishou of Zhennan Pass!
Seeing this, the demonic young man standing next to King Cheng in the distance smiled again, hooked his lips and said, "Oh? ”
