Chapter 83
Li Xunlian didn't have time to explain to him in detail, so he could only briefly talk about the process of Hu Wan appearing here and then leaving, and after Su heard it, the two began to chase after him in the direction where Hu Wan left.
Then chased here, at the end of the towering city wall, Li Xunlian saw Hu Wan's figure, and Hu Wan finally turned back, his eyes seemed to be entangled and sad for a moment, but then he fell into gloom and weirdness again, and then, Hu Wan jumped down from the city wall and completely disappeared from Li Xunlian's sight.
The chase along the way let Li Xunlian know the gap between him and Hu Wan now, if Hu Wan didn't want to, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Hu Wan, so there was no point in chasing down.
Soon after, Su Ke, who was behind Li Xunlian, also caught up, and naturally Kunshan appeared, until now, the three of them were full of sorrow, and they didn't know how to deal with Hu Wan's matter.
"Forget it, don't think about it yet, the sky is about to dawn, and we must deal with the affairs of the city as soon as possible. Li Xun even restrained his mind and forced himself not to think about Hu Wan, it was useless to think about it, as far as the current situation was concerned, this matter could only be left to fate.
Then the three of them rushed to the most popular place in the city to meet with Huanfeng Meiwu, saying that the war was the most prosperous, but in fact, the battle situation had already shown a one-sided situation. Because the swordsman reinforcement was killed by Huanfeng and Mei Wu, Liao Mo did not show up for a long time, because the defenders in the city had long lost their fighting spirit, although there were still a few generals who were tenacious and hard-working, but their strength was low, and they couldn't turn the tide at all, so they could only watch their momentum fall again and again, and finally fell to the bottom.
Huanfeng and Mei Wu had already been ordered by Li Xunlian, so they didn't go on a killing spree, but just struggled to create momentum and psychologically defeat the defenders of Yuzhou.
When Li Xunlian arrived and showed Liao Mo's head, the battlefield was completely quiet, and the last little will of the Yuzhou defenders was completely crushed, and the Li family guards cheered, and this battle was a complete victory.
Fifteen hundred people captured a city of 10,000 people, which is really one of the few feats in the history of the Kyushu War.
"Liao Mo is dead, you should give up resistance, this son is only to conquer the king, not to conquer the city, you can rest assured. Li Xunlian stood on the top of a tall tower, looked around at the Yuzhou defenders, and shouted loudly.
To be honest, the defenders in the city didn't have any feelings for Liao Mo, the reason why they still had some fighting spirit left before was because there were rumors that Li Xunlian would slaughter the city after breaking the city, and now when he heard Li Xunlian say this, he naturally put his mind at ease.
"Who has the highest rank in the field?" asked Li Xunlian in a loud voice.
The crowd was agitated, and a sixty-year-old military general walked out. As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart, and the justice of this life is dignified, Li Xunlian directly announced that the position of the lord of Yuzhou City was handed over to this person. Of course, the face is just a statement, whether this person is a good person or not, Li Xunlian can't determine it through his eyes, but he doesn't have time to get in touch now, so he can only make a hasty decision.
"Ladies and gentlemen, then I will open the city gate to welcome Zhu Tongjun into the city, but I will explain to him that Li can only stay and rectify after entering the city, and not hurt the innocent, and we will also stay in the city for some time. ”
After saying this, Li Xunlian felt that there was nothing wrong, and then ordered the defenders of Yuzhou to clean up the battlefield, and he himself led his headquarters to the city gate to open the city to "welcome" Zhu Tong.
This greeting is naturally not a kind greeting, but a demonstration, he has to let Zhu Tong know, I, Li Xunlian, do what I say, and see me again, it is best to show your ridiculous loftiness easily.
When we reached the city gate, the sun was rising, and a ray of light was shining outside the city. Outside the city, the sound of horses shook the sky, and the sound of the march was terrifying, and Zhu Tong's army really arrived on time.
With the sound of squeaking, the heavy city gate slowly opened a gap, through the gap, Zhu Tong rode a tall horse, the golden armor shining in the sun, however, his face was not very good-looking, especially when he saw Li Xunlian smiling at himself, that heroic face was completely gloomy.
In Li Xunlian's "warm welcome", Zhu Tong's army marched into the city, and the defenders of Yuzhou City were very worried at first, but after a few days of adaptation, they found that as Li Xunlian promised, there was no unusual phenomenon in Zhu Tong's army.
At this point, as early as the beginning of entering the city, Li Xunlian had already made Li clear to Zhu Tong, and the latter naturally nodded in agreement, and Zhu Tong and Li Xunlian's attitude was still the same at this point, their goal was only to become a king, and they would never implicate innocent soldiers and civilians.
Of course, the army of 100,000 is such a huge group, it is inevitable that there will be mixed good and bad, but Zhu Tong is quite strict, and the only few times the soldiers made trouble, they were also beheaded to show the public, and since then, there has been no disturbance to the people.
Wu Feitu walked through the passage of time, and in the blink of an eye, he had been stationed in Yuzhou City for ten days, the Li family's guards had already raised their spirits and were ready to go, and Zhu Tong's army was also rectified, and the two sides were pointing at Yong at the same time.
In fact, it didn't take so long to just rectify, after all, there was no too fierce battle along the way, but the Yonglin Pass guard will be well-known in the south, and he is a first-class fierce general, so it is necessary to spy on Qing Li in this place, and then send troops.
The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, Zhu Tong and Li Xunlian understand this truth very well.
And after these ten days of spying, both sides have also gotten the information they want to a certain extent.
Zhu Tong has already investigated the armament forces of Yonglinguan. Li Xunlian started from Yonglin Guan Taishou and roughly understood what kind of character this is.
The starting points of the two sides are different, and the strategies adopted are naturally different. A surprise attack like the capture of Yuzhou City can only be used in specific situations, and the Yonglin Pass Taishou is not comparable to Liao Mo's generation, not to mention that with this case, the other party will inevitably hear the news and respond, so the word "strange" in the surprise attack will not be able to play out.
Yonglinguan is more than 300 miles away from Yuzhou City, it is the second large-scale checkpoint after Zhennanguan, the city garrison is 30,000, and the supply of grain and grass can last for one to two years.
Under him, there are more than a dozen Lingxi Xuan Xiu, and each of them is brave and good at fighting, for them who have long been accustomed to battlefield fighting, they have long been able to perfectly integrate the advantages of Xuan Xiu into the battle array, so whether it is strength or experience, they can be called outstanding.
In the face of such a city and such a force, neither Zhu Tong nor Li Xunlian dared to take it lightly.
To a certain extent, the comprehensive strength of Yonglinguan is definitely not weaker than that of Zhennanguan, and even faintly surpasses it. Of course, this can't be accurately compared before the war, after all, the fall of Zhennanguan has a lot to do with King Cheng himself. If it weren't for his impetuousness and decision-making mistakes, presumably Zhu Tong might not be able to break the big city of Zhen'an Pass now.
On the twenty-sixth day of May in the Qingxiao calendar, the summer solstice, this day is clear, Li Xunlian stands quietly on the lookout of Yuzhou City and stares into the distance, at the end of his sight, a majestic city is faintly located, where is the destination of the next stop, Yonglinguan.
Beside him, I don't know what jokes Su said again, making Mei Wu giggle, Kunshan and Huanfeng frowned, obviously thinking that Su Qicai's words were very immoral.
Li Xunlian took one last look, and then withdrew his gaze, he felt that someone was coming, and at the same time as the four sword slaves, he looked sideways, and a figure slowly boarded in the passage of the lookout.
The person who came was Zhu Tong, Li Xunlian frowned when he saw this, in the ten days that they were stationed in Yuzhou City, although there was any friction between the two, they never took the initiative to talk, I don't know why, Zhu Tong actually took the initiative to come today.
Before the surprise attack on Yuzhou City, Zhu Tong had sarcastically predicted that Li Xunlian would be difficult to build an inch, but now that the facts are in front of him, it doesn't seem to have a great impact on him.
The face was still written on the high, because it was not a state of war, so he was only wearing a plain clothes today, a loose robe with gold silk dragons, glazed jade with treasures, for the royal family, this so-called casual dress is also luxurious.
Li Xunlian looked at him calmly a few times, but did not speak. As the saying goes, if there is nothing to do, you will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, if it is ordinary, Zhu Tong will definitely not take the initiative to find Li Xunlian, the reason why he will come, it is something, and it is definitely not a good thing.
Sure enough, Zhu Tong took the lead in saying: "Good Yaxing, the war is coming, but I am still enjoying the scenery." ”
Hearing this tone, Li Xunlian knew that what he expected was good, this guy was probably coming to Gang himself, maybe he wanted to compete with who won the Yong Pass first, maybe it was something else, in short, there must be a dispute again.
Regarding the dispute, Li Xunlian did not refuse, but he was a little troubled. Because although he couldn't be sure, his intuition told him that the leakage of the news of this surprise attack on Yuzhou City was probably inseparable from Zhu Tong.
But after all, there was no evidence, and at the same time, the mastermind behind the scenes also erased all the clues, and in the past ten days, Li Xunlian has not been able to find any clues.
"What do you mean?" Li Xunlian's tone was cold, he was not in the mood to be polite to Zhu Tong now, since the campaign against the southern land began, the latter had already disappointed Li Xunlian.
Of course, he wouldn't know that the reason why Zhu Tong became like this was out of a kind of jealousy in his heart, maybe even Zhu Tong himself didn't know, but it was this inexplicable and intense jealousy that made a person who could have become a good brother become an opponent, and he was still the kind of opponent who could not constitute healthy competition.
In the final analysis, the main reason for all this is the destiny, the innate irreversible identity of the background. If Zhu Tong was not the prince of the dynasty, or Li Xunlian was not the innkeeper, maybe things would not have turned out like this, maybe the two of them still cherish each other and respect each other.
Sometimes I have to sigh that creation makes people, but neither of them will obviously apply this emotion to each other. However, Zhu Tong came this time not because Li Xunlian expected, but to find out his attitude and plan a complete policy for the life-threatening gamble.
Zhu Tong sneered, and didn't care about Li Xunlian's attitude, or he didn't show it, he always didn't have any nonsense after sneering, and said directly: "This palace thinks that the gambling contract between you and me should have a specific detail." ”
Li Xunlian has also thought about this point for a long time, but this matter is not easy to solve, after all, the gap between the military strength of the two sides is too large, and the military strength of the cities in the south is also different, so it is difficult to formulate a reasonable and fair plan.
"Map. Zhu Tong reached to the side, and an entourage respectfully handed over the map of the southern land to his hand.
Zhu Tong took the map and shook it off, and said: "Since Yong Linguan, there are only eleven passes left in the south, for the sake of fairness, this Yuzhou City is considered your trophy, so in the next pass, the palace should pull out the sixth, and you only need to conquer the fifth, whoever can take the lead in reaching the dragon bone city under this condition and cut off the head of the king, who is the winner." ”
Before Li Xunlian could answer, Su had already preemptively said: "This condition seems to be fair, but in fact, it has added a lot of difficulty to our side, originally we only need to sneak attack all the way to Dragon Bone City, like you, wouldn't we have to fight against the strength of the five cities with 1,500 people, roughly calculated, and it must be nearly 100,000 people, right?"
There are a lot of problems with this product, but this mouth is the most serious, to be honest, even though Zhu Tong is standing on the opposite side of Li Xunlian, but he really shouldn't speak without permission in this kind of scene, it's not that the master and slave are humble, it's just that when he says this, it's easy to cause trouble.
Although Li Xunlian is not afraid of provoking trouble, he finally seems to be a little stingy on his side. Of course, Su is also for everyone's sake, which is understandable, and what he said is still the truth.
was silenced and interjected, Zhu Tong's face showed displeasure again, and his status and humility were deeply ingrained in his heart, which could not be changed at all.
However, this time he didn't have a seizure, as if he had expected such a question, and said: "You don't need to say this, this palace has naturally already thought that it is indeed difficult for a strong man to attack the city, but if it is as you said, sneak attack all the way, wouldn't it be unfair to this palace?"
"Then what should you do in your opinion?" Li Xunlian asked with interest, he didn't expect that an arrogant person like Zhu Tong would be able to say such a thing.
"According to the meaning of this palace, you don't need to pull out the city, as long as you capture or kill along the way, and you can get rid of the local guards. Zhu Tong pointed out on the map as he spoke, "Since Yong Linguan, you and I have followed this route in different directions, do you think it is fair?"
According to what Zhu Tong pointed out, Li Xunlian took a cursory glance, almost all the big cities were on Zhu Tong's line, and what was left for him was some remote small cities, this distribution method has advantages and disadvantages, although there are many guards in the big city, but the population is also large, it is easy to get in, which is extremely beneficial to the assassination. Comparatively speaking, it is much more difficult in small towns. For example, although Emperor Qingxiao sits in the imperial city all the year round, could he have kept every official and ordinary person in the imperial city in mind? But if it is a small town, how can such a situation occur in the city lord with a dozen officials.
This is just one of the points, and there are many more details that need not be repeated.
Of course, the advantages are also obvious compared to the disadvantages. Although there is no guarantee that there will be no fierce generals in the small city, the garrison force of the small city is definitely much weaker than that of the big city, which is a very fair thing for Li Xunlian.
If you study the pros and cons too deeply, you will lose your manliness, although Li Xunlian is very unaccustomed to Zhu Tong now, but he thinks that Zhu Tong will not be more serious when formulating this plan, so he directly agreed.
"Well, since you also agree, it will take effect from now on, until one of you and I has achieved the first level of king, and the game will be over. Zhu Tong smiled confidently.
"I don't have an opinion, just to remind you, there are some things that don't match your identity, don't let me look down on you. Li Xunlian said tentatively, to be honest, he was just tempting at will, and he didn't expect the result. However, Zhu Tong's reaction made Li Xunlian's face cold.
I saw Zhu Tong's nose tremble twice, and then he waved his sleeves, and while turning to leave, he said coldly: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, if you have any means, you can use it against the palace!"
leaked the news of the surprise attack and almost killed Li Xunlian and Su Ke's behind-the-scenes master, and it was really him!
Li Xunlian clenched his fists in an instant, it was not that he didn't know how to use this method, but he didn't bother to use it. If he really does everything, Zhu Tong is afraid that he will not be able to live now!
However, anger is anger, Li Xunlian can also understand that the sentence is not tired of deceit, he and Zhu Tong have received different education since childhood, the inn pays attention to morality, the imperial court pursues power, and now Qingxiao Emperor only has two children, Zhu Tong and Zhu Xi, if he is like other emperors, I am afraid that Zhu Tong will not be polite to his brother.
Similarly, other prince candidates will not be polite to Zhu Bai, this is forced by the situation, and there are too many entanglements of interests involved. From their own selfishness to the factions between the government and the opposition, it is by no means possible to exhaust them in one word.
But then again, understanding does not mean recognition, anger does not mean that Li Xunlian will use this despicable means to fight back, what he wants to do is to defeat Zhu Tong and convince him, and behead Zhu Tong in the right and bright!
At noon, Li Xunlian and others were having dinner, but the shopkeeper came here. On the second day of conquering Yuzhou City, Li Xunlian had already written to the big shopkeeper to inform him of the details of Hu Wan, and the big shopkeeper immediately replied that he would come as soon as possible, but the distance was far away, and ten days passed between the round trip.
The big shopkeeper knew that Li was the most concerned about Gu Panxi, so he said directly how to place Gu Panxi, and said it so directly, but Li Xunlian's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed.
On the one hand, it was out of suspicion, and on the other hand, it was to divert the topic, and then Li Xunlian asked about the third shopkeeper Wei Jiyuan, but the big shopkeeper said that this person was very quiet, even unusually quiet.
Even the big shopkeeper thinks he is abnormal, so he must be secretly operating some conspiracy, but it is precisely because of the quietness that the big shopkeeper has repeatedly spied and failed to catch the slightest clue.
The thing that worries Li Xunlian the most finally happened, if Wei Jiyuan makes any changes, the inn will definitely be in trouble. However, Li Xunlian couldn't do anything about it, even if he was the big shopkeeper, before he caught the exact evidence, he couldn't do anything about Wei Jiyuan. So all Li Xunlian can do is try his best to keep this side from happening to any major changes.
Subsequently, Li Xunlian told the big shopkeeper about the gambling contract with Zhu Tong, and the big shopkeeper was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "If he dares to make another time, he doesn't have to consider the relationship between the imperial court and the inn, just kill him." “
This sentence is said very calmly, as if Zhu Tong is not the prince of Qingxiao, but just a little person who doesn't care about it. Li Xunlian had to admire the big shopkeeper's uphold of morality, but he couldn't do it. From a moral point of view, Zhu Tong assassinated Li Xunlian, and with such despicable deeds first, it is not an exaggeration to directly send the Four Sword Slaves to kill him. But from the perspective of the overall situation, before the southern land is leveled, Zhu Tong must be spared no matter what.
Killing Zhu Tong is equivalent to starting a war against the imperial court, but the mysterious forces behind King Cheng have not yet surfaced, so when the situation is unclear, it is better not to act rashly.
Li Xunlian casually agreed, and immediately diverted the topic again, in the past ten days, he has also rarely had some free time, and when he has time, he naturally grasps the cultivation, for the Xuanyin Qi, he has been able to send and receive freely, but in terms of "quantity", it is a bottleneck. And the innate demonic qi Li Xunlian is completely uncontrollable, and it is still the same as before, as long as the Xuan Qi is generated, there will be innate demonic qi derived from it. But fortunately, the demon root in the sea of qi was suppressed by the Xuanyin qi, and the growth was also very slow.
Finally, it is Xuanqi, after these ten days of hard work, Li Xunlian has faintly felt the signs of breakthrough, if nothing else, there will be another three or five days of leisure, he can complete the breakthrough and enter the late stage of the Gu Xuan Realm.
He told the big shopkeeper that this was just to divert the topic, but when the big shopkeeper heard it, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart, because he saw in Li Xunlian that he had not been able to reach the level -
Eighteen years old, late stage of the Gu Xuan Realm. Looking at the past and present, no one has ever done it except for the mirror circle. Even if it's the big shopkeeper and Qingxiao Emperor, it's not good!
However, it is worth mentioning that the Great Shopkeeper and Qingxiao Emperor, as the top figures in the contemporary Xuan Cultivation Realm, were not much worse than them in their cultivation speed back then. The big shopkeeper broke through to the late stage of the Guxuan Realm at the age of nineteen and two months, and the Qingxiao Emperor jumped directly from the early stage of the Guxuan to Tianhe at the age of thirty, and since then he has always made a breakthrough through the ranks, although this is very shocking, but at the same time, it also leaves the world with a suspicion of tricks, therefore, although the big shopkeeper and the Qingxiao Emperor have never fought each other since they broke through to the Shenhai Realm, but in the eyes of the world, the representative of the Xuanxiu of Kyushu must be the big shopkeeper.
Of course, the world will not think that Emperor Qingxiao is suspected of cheating for no reason, the reason is because the imperial court has the most abundant resources in the world, and there is a secret method that has been passed down from generation to generation, that is, to stimulate the bloodline through external forces, so as to achieve a cultivation speed of thousands of miles a day.
The royal family is the bloodline of the dragon, and the so-called external force is the dragon genus. The reason why this is only a half-legend and not a legend is because very few people have seen a real dragon except for the core of the imperial court. Even if it is a Jiao, it can only be seen by chance in the deep mountains and rivers.
With the dragon as the medium and the blood as the carbon, the royal family is based on this principle, supplemented by unknown secret techniques, to create the myth of the metaphysical cultivation realm that transcends the level.
Therefore, Zhu Tong said to Li Xunlian that day that his path of metaphysical cultivation may not be as good as Li Xunlian, because he himself knows that although his cultivation can grow rapidly in this way, it is not as solid as relying on himself to fight steadily.
But it was then, and now is now, it can be said that Zhu Tong and Li Xunlian have completely broken off now, so it's not just a war, he wants to suppress Li Xunlian in the field of metaphysical cultivation, no matter what method is used, no matter who is stronger or weaker in the fundamentals, at the very least, he wants to suppress Li Xunlian in the realm, he wants Li Xunlian to stand in front of him, feeling small!
Driven by this strong desire to compare, Zhu Tong chose to take a risk. At this moment, in the room where Zhu Tong was, a figure dressed in black was kneeling on the ground.
"Your Highness, you've got it!" the black shadow panted, and if he looked closely, he could see that his clothes were stained with a lot of dark red colors, like some kind of bloodstains, exuding bursts of thick blood.
Zhu Tong was facing the window, and when he heard this, he immediately turned around when he looked into the distance, his face full of excitement.
"Where is the source media now?" The tone revealed an incomprehensible excitement, even if he was as arrogant as Zhu Tong, he couldn't calm down after hearing the news.
"According to His Highness's instructions, I have selected a secret place in the mountain range hundreds of miles away, and offered the source medium. The dark shadow replied respectfully.
"Very good, very good, haha!" Zhu Tong turned around again and looked into the distance, stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "Remember, the blood of the eclipse is 100 catties, and it must not be less than half a cent and a half taels, if there is a mistake, you are the only one in this palace!"
"Your Highness rest assured, your subordinates will do it yourself, and there will never be a small spread pool. ”
Zhu Tong nodded, he was still very relieved about this person: "Go down, when you can wait for this matter, the palace will explain to my father that I have a favorite position with you." ”
The black shadow was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed his head again and again, and then retreated respectfully.
After the black shadow left, Zhu Tong pondered for a moment, as if he had reached something, and began to sneer to himself.
"Li Xunlian, Li Xunlian, whether it is the battlefield or the Xuanxiu realm, this palace will completely suppress you, and you will never be able to raise your head in front of this palace!"
......
Because the three shopkeepers were unusually quiet, it was as if there was some kind of storm brewing, so the big shopkeeper set off quickly in the evening and returned to Shenjian Peak again.
However, before leaving, the big shopkeeper said that he would appoint the second shopkeeper over, on the one hand, to find Hu Wan, and on the other hand, to ensure Li Xunlian's safety.
Since Zhu Tong has already used that kind of despicable tricks, he can't help but prevent him from repeating his old tricks or even intensifying them, and now the four sword slaves have already used the power of imprisonment once, and if they encounter a strong opponent again, they will have no hole cards.
For this kind of worry, Li Xunlian is actually resistant, and it is very unfair to Zhu Ming to let the second shopkeeper protect himself, because the imperial court did not increase the reinforcements for Zhu Tong, at least they did not within the scope that Li Xunlian could understand, so he didn't want to fall to the lower echelons first.
But the big shopkeeper will definitely not agree, and finally after research and compromise, the big shopkeeper promised Li Xunlian that the second shopkeeper would not participate in any war after coming here, and if Li Xunlian encountered an immoral accident, the second shopkeeper could show up to protect.
In fact, it is reasonable for the big shopkeeper to have this arrangement, after all, no one knows to what extent Zhu Tong is offline. For the four sword slaves who lack the trump card of imprisonment, with the master reserves of the imperial court, they are definitely not able to compete with them.
Of course, this powerful person does not refer to a single person, but a certain team, just like the Dark Lord. After all, the Four Sword Slaves can already be called the strongest under the Divine Sea, except for Xiao Nantian, I am afraid that no one of the same level can compete with them. But if there is a superiority in numbers, it is not easy to say.
After seeing Li Xunlian's promise, the big shopkeeper left with peace of mind. Soon after the big shopkeeper left, Zhu Tong sent guards to announce that at noon tomorrow, Zhu Tong's army would rush to Yonglin Pass, which was equivalent to a gambling game with his life as a bargaining chip, and as for Li Xunlian's decision, it had nothing to do with Zhu Tong.
"Childe, Zhu Tong announced the start, do we also have to prepare early and strive to be ahead of him at the starting line?" Mei Wu asked warmly and excitedly.
Li Xunlian smiled when he heard this, and said: "No, no, no, let's think about Qingfu in Yuzhou City for a few days first, and I still have some things that I haven't figured out, and when I find out Li, it's not too late to set off." ”
"But Childe ......"
Mei Wu was about to ask again, but Su pouted and interrupted it, and said: "But a fart, if you want me to say that you are big-chested and brainless, and sending troops at the same time as Zhu Tong is bound to attract attention, what we have to do is not to attack the city but to assassinate by surprise, if it leaks out of the enemy's sight, how to attack, how to stab?"
"You try it again?" Mei Wu's eyes were compelling, but Su had to turn her head away and close the broken mouth......
At noon the next day, Zhu Tong's army set off on time, and Li Xunlian rushed to the mountains and mountains in the south of the city with the four sword slaves, and when he reached the top, a building that seemed to be unobtrusive fell into his eyes, and the door plaque was engraved with three gilded characters - Extreme Sword Palace!
The Extreme Sword Palace, the hall is majestic, and the lonely Ling Jue is at the top of the mountain. There is only one hall, there is no side hall and side room, in front of the hall is a square of several acres of square circle, to be precise, it should be a courtyard, because the embellishments such as green bamboo in the square are too idyllic, but this courtyard is a little too big.
In the middle of the square, an octagonal tripod sits quietly, the light smoke in the tripod is misty, and there are more than ten swords inserted in it irregularly, the swords are in different shapes, but all of them exude a fierce atmosphere, obviously not just decorations, if you talk about the grade, it will never be lower than a half-step holy weapon!
These swords are not defective products, but the burial goods before the extreme sword is baked, and the extreme sword that Ouyang Sword Saint is equipped with is made from this furnace, it can be said that the extreme sword perfectly fits the swordsmanship of Ouyang Sword Saint, and he can win the name of the Southern Sword Saint, and the credit of the extreme sword is indispensable. It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Sword Saint will enshrine these burial goods here.
Li Xunlian and the others naturally didn't know about these past events, but Su saw that the swords in the furnace were all good swords, so he couldn't help but make an old mistake, and smacked his lips and said: "This, this, it's really a tyrannical thing, these people actually ...... such a good sword."
Before he finished speaking, a cold snort was heard in the hall, and then a figure slowly walked out. They knew that this person was Xu Lin, who had fought with Kunshan from midnight to early morning.
Seeing that it was Li Xunlian and the others, Xu Lin was surprised, but in an instant, he changed back to displeased, he was not displeased not because the master was killed, but because of Su's opinion of the sword in the furnace.
To put it mildly, Ouyang Sword Saint was killed because he was to blame. To put it nicely, this belongs to the grievances of the rivers and lakes, no wonder others, one day Xu Lin may avenge the respected teacher, but this is just a simple way of discipleship, and there is no hatred in it.
This is a kind of sick psychology of swordsmen, everyone has killed your master, and the roots of your teeth that you still don't hate are itchy, do you have a conscience? However, this is also the place where swordsmen who abide by the way of swordsmen are respected.
Li Xunlian hurriedly signaled Su to shut up, it's not that this thing is not shrewd enough, but he doesn't want to think about it many times, how many times he has caused trouble as soon as he speaks, how can he not have a long memory.
"I take the liberty of bothering and looking at Haihan. Li Xunlian arched his hand to Xu Lin and said.
Xu Lin is a very well-cultivated person, and the necessary etiquette will never be less. After returning the salute to Li Xunlian, he saluted Kunshan with a sword salute.
Kunshan is naturally a positive color in return, in fact, in his heart, even if Xu Lin joins the inn, he will not object.
"What made Gongzi come to visit?" After the two sides saluted, Xu Lin asked calmly. Usually ordinary people must think that they are here to destroy the door when they see this kind of formation, just imagine, just after the battle, the Extreme Sword Hall can be said to be completely defeated, but at this moment, Li Xunlian came to the door with the four sword slaves, and it is inevitable that there will be no misunderstanding.
Li Xun had even considered this point, but the Extreme Sword Hall was not as good as elsewhere, even if he strongly requested to only bring Kunshan here, the other three sword slaves could not agree. In desperation, he brought them here, anyway, Li Xunlian was not afraid of shadows, even if he brought 10,000 horses over, he was only here to solve some questions.
However, through this incident, it can be seen that Xu Lin's calm bearing, when this scene, there is no slightest panic and trouble, although he is unhappy with Su, he does not have a seizure, no matter in which aspect, such a person is very popular and worthy of respect.
"I want to ask a little bit about the deeds of the Sword Saint before his death...... Li Xunlian was not too embarrassed to speak, after all, Ouyang Sword Saint had just died at the hands of Su Ke, and he was also cramped and stripped of his bones by Hu Wan.
Of course, Li Xunlian wanted to ask these questions naturally not because of curiosity, but after listening to Su relaying the battle with Ouyang Sword Saint, he concluded that Ouyang Sword Saint had come into contact with people or things outside the galaxy, and Ouyang Sword Saint also mentioned the demon clan that night, whether it was for himself or for Kyushu, this information point could not be let go.
Sure enough, even Xu Lin couldn't help clenching his fists at this moment, and said in a deep voice: "Son, don't deceive people too much, although Xu is invincible, he is not a coward." ”
"Xu Xia Shi misunderstood!" Li Xun waved his hand again and again, afraid of something, this guy really misunderstood.
"Brother Xu really misunderstood, the prince came this time because your master had mentioned the matter of the demon clan, and this matter was related to Kyushu, so he took the liberty to come to the door and mention this matter. Kun Shan stepped forward and said, he and Xu Lin were more talkative.
Hearing Kunshan's words, Xu Lin calmed down a lot, Li Xun hadn't even been in contact with him, but through the battle with Kunshan, he had a general understanding of Kunshan, he felt that Kunshan was not that kind of despicable person, so the son who could make Kunshan willing to follow should not be far behind.
"Alas, Xu doesn't know much about the deeds of his ancestors. Xu Lin sighed, mentioning Ouyang Sword Saint, especially the word "before death", an uncontrollable sadness would rise in his heart.
If he can tell him everything, Li Xunlian is grateful. Li Xunlian gave his hand again and said with a straight face.
Then Xu Lin led a few people into the hall and told him everything he knew about Ouyang Sword Saint, but Li Xunlian did not catch any useful clues from his words, until finally Xu Lin said that Ouyang Sword Saint was often distracted by a piece of jade pendant before his death, Li Xunlian felt a pang in his heart, and vaguely felt that things would progress.
After asking if it was convenient to look at it, he got Xu Lin's consent, only to see Xu Lin raise his hand and point to the table enshrined in the main hall, and said, "Right here, Xu also doesn't know why the respected master respects this jade pendant so much." ”
Looking up, I saw a piece of jade pendant on the table, the jade pendant was ordinary, nothing more than an ordinary Hetian jade, no matter from the color or texture, I couldn't see the slightest subtlety.
If you really want to find something different, it can only be the handwriting engraved on the jade pendant. There are four handwritings - Nan Li Wuji.
Nam Lee Wou-ki, what do you mean?
Not only Li Xunlian and the Four Sword Slaves have this doubt in their hearts, but even the Seven Musketeers, the descendants of Ouyang Sword Saint, have the same doubts, and they have been respectfully offering incense to Yu Pei every day with this doubt since they started their careers, and until today, they have not been able to solve it.
"The Venerable Master said that seeing this jade pendant is equivalent to seeing our ancestors. Xu Lin was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke quietly.
Master Zu?
As soon as I heard this, Li Xunlian and the others were even more confused, Ouyang Sword Saint's method was extreme swordsmanship, but according to Xu Lin, his ancestor was called "Wuji", from scratch, it was simply the opposite, could it be that Ouyang Sword Saint Qing was better than blue out of blue, and developed Wuji swordsmanship to extreme swordsmanship?
On second thought, they seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding, which is extreme, representing the apex of a certain aspect. And Wuji, this is endless, these seemingly ordinary two words, the deep meaning contained in them is by no means easy to understand.
"Thank you Xu Xiashi, I'm really sorry for this trouble, and there are things about your master, we are also ......" Speaking of this, Li Xunlian felt that it didn't seem appropriate, so he skipped it directly, and said: "If you need all the needs in the future, you can go directly to the Divine Sword Peak for help." ”
In fact, no matter how you say this kind of thing, it is offensive to people, and the reason why Li Xunlian has to say it is to express his guilt, after all, Xu Lin is too good, but now he has suffered the pain of losing his teacher, which is really sad.
"Xu is only a casual cultivator, what can he do. Xu Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, indeed, he is now a loose cultivator, without a master, the two junior disciples who survived to protect the generals who defended the city have also left the mountain, and he is the only one left in this huge Extreme Sword Palace.
