Chapter 99

After listening to the silence for a moment, the latter suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Zhu Yi Lao'er is so despicable, Lao Tzu will enter the imperial court!"

The second shopkeeper didn't like to think, but Li Xunlian and Su naturally hurriedly stopped him, not to mention that they didn't have enough evidence to prove that Zhang Songxi was Emperor Qingxiao's manpower, even if there was evidence, they couldn't let the second shopkeeper act impulsively.

"What more evidence do you need, isn't that woman surnamed Ruan the best evidence!" the second shopkeeper shouted indignantly.

Indeed, Ruan Lin is one of the Shadow Guards, but the Shadow Guards are not known to the world, even if Ruan Lin comes forward to testify, what is the use of Emperor Qingxiao if he vigorously denies it. Although the inn does not need those cumbersome evidence, this matter is very important, and it is definitely not possible to turn the other cheek against the imperial court before there is enough preparation and opportunity.

"You have to endure it, and when will it be a head!"

"What the second shopkeeper said is very true, and I also think that we should give the royal court some color to see. Mei Wu and the second shopkeeper have similar temperaments, and at this moment they are helping.

Li Xunlian and Su glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both smiled bitterly. To tell the truth, things have developed so far, not only Mei Wu, but Li Xunlian is not ready to endure it, but things have to be done one by one, if there is no matter of the Southern Expedition, if Li Xunlian is now idle in Li Yue Xiaozhu, then even if Mei Wu and the second shopkeeper don't talk about it, he has to go to the imperial court.

But not now, there are so many things they are facing now. At the shallow level, it is said that it is impossible to make a move, and at the deepest, it is powerless to be distracted at all.

These words are useless to explain to the second shopkeeper and Mei Wu, they are both impulsive types, and they can't listen to any analysis and explanation when their brains are hot.

But fortunately, they still trusted Li Xunlian's decision, so they were just angry, and they didn't act willfully after all.

"Alas, I really didn't expect so many accidents to happen in just three or two months. Su sighed lightly, and he was also in a trance.

Hearing this, Li Xunlian suddenly frowned, surprised? In the midst of the accident, he didn't think about it like that, and now he thinks about it from a perspective of withdrawing from the matter, are all accidents really accidents?

Why was he involved in the Southern Expedition, and why did Emperor Qingxiao arrange him and Zhu Tong together in the first place?

Is it to let the army of 100,000 take care of their 1,800 men?

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple!

Speaking of accidents, before these accidents happened, Li Xunlian had calmly analyzed that there was one person who wanted to see Li Xunlian encounter all kinds of accidents during the southern expedition, and this person happened to be an important person who contributed to Li Xunlian's southern expedition!

β€”β€”The third shopkeeper of the inn, Wei Jiyuan!

Could it be that Li Xunlian is still a shallow step after a thousand calculations, between Wei Jiyuan and Qingxiao Emperor, not only use each other, but also have some kind of cooperative relationship!

Thinking of this, Li Xunlian felt more and more that it was necessary to take Dragon Bone City quickly, if Wei Jiyuan really colluded with the imperial court, then in the future, accidents would definitely happen more frequently.

Take the current situation as an example, Hu Wan's encounter Li Xunlian does not dare to guarantee whether someone is behind it, but the appearance of the Red Devil and Zhang Songxi must be inseparable from the imperial court, and besides, this is only the first few cities, the four sword slaves have already lost their combat power, if they advance all the way to Dragon Bone City at a normal pace, the loss of the inn will probably be immeasurable......

Following this clue, Li Xunlian continued to think deeply, and the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became.

Why did King Cheng retreat step by step, why were Zhennan Pass, Yuzhou City, and Yonglin Pass, which were the battlegrounds of the soldiers, so easy to overcome, I am afraid that behind this matter, there are also many secrets, and those undercurrents that lie dormant quietly under the surface of the water are the real fatal places.

Thinking about it like this, Li Xunlian thought of the southwest werewolf who had peeked at him in the mountain behind Li Yuexiaozhu, and the Xiban would never come to peep at him for no reason, and the motive behind this is also worth pondering.

Is it aimed at the inn? That should be the right thing to peek at Shenjian Peak, why do you want to peek at Li Xunlian?

Combined with the situation at that time, that time period happened to be Li Xunlian's preparation to rush to the imperial court to meet with Emperor Qingxiao to discuss the matter of becoming the king, boldly imagine that Li Xunlian went on the expedition with the army was advocated by Wei Jiyuan, and Wei Jiyuan and Emperor Qingxiao had already secretly communicated with each other, would there be such a possibility-

Emperor Qingxiao pretended to invite Li Xunlian into the palace to discuss the matter of becoming a king, but in fact, he and Wei Jiyuan had already formulated all the strategies, and all the discussions at that time, as well as the scheming they showed to each other, were just a scene for Li Xunlian!

If this assumption is true, then it cannot be ruled out that the Western Barbarian Wolf Clan is also Wei Jiyuan's hole card, and the werewolf was the first to be notified and knew that Li Xunlian would accompany the army to the south, and then went to Li Yue Xiaozhu to monitor!

With the in-depth thinking step by step, Li Xunlian's forehead was already faintly sweating, fortunately, he had made arrangements in advance when he left, if Li Yanran and Gu Panxi were left in Li Yue Xiaozhu, then now, I am afraid that they have fallen into the hands of a certain "caring person"!

You must know that the only important people in Li Xunlian's heart are Li Yanran and Gu Panxi, and the only ones they can easily grasp are Li Yanran and Gu Panxi, if they are held in hand, with Li Xunlian's temperament, they will definitely fall into constraints and be forced everywhere.

"Su, get the pen and paper!" Li Xunlian woke up from his thoughts, although he could not confirm the possibility of various conjectures at present, he had to inform the big shopkeeper in advance, even if he couldn't kill Wei Jiyuan, he had to control this person.

After taking a pen and paper to write the letter, Li Xunlian handed it directly to the second shopkeeper and said, "You'd better set off and return to Shenjian Peak immediately, and tell the old sister and Gu Panxi for me, don't come here to look for me, it's best not to leave Shenjian Peak." ”

The second shopkeeper took the letter and was stunned for a while, he didn't know what was going on with Li Xunlian suddenly so nervous, but this is not something he has to do with it, his duty has always been to refer to where to fight, although his identity is the second shopkeeper......

"Don't worry, the boss is in Shenjian Peak, and Wei Jiyuan doesn't dare to make a mistake, I'll set off here, and I'll follow you when I come back, if I encounter a strong opponent like Zhang Songxi again, I have a better chance of winning." The second shopkeeper took the letter into his bosom and turned to leave.

This time Li Xunlian did not refuse, things have developed so far, he can no longer just care about the gambling contract with Zhu Tong, I don't know if this gambling contract is in the calculation of Emperor Qingxiao, but it is undeniable that the imperial court has used this gambling contract to create a lot of trouble for Li Xunlian.

The second shopkeeper had already proposed to follow Li Xunlian, but at that time he was rejected by Li Xunlian out of consideration for gambling contracts, if he agreed at that time, how could Zhang Songxi have such a big advantage in the night battle a few days ago. and against the Southern Sword Saint, Su didn't have to launch the Imprisonment stunt.

It is worth mentioning that there is also the Red Devil, fortunately, Li Xunlian got the true inheritance of Manager Wei, otherwise the Red Devil used this as a threat, and it may not be what happened now. If the second shopkeeper was sitting in the camp at that time, how could he dare to swagger to find Li Xunlian.

In order to be safe, Li Xunlian and others chose to stay still in the city, wait for the second shopkeeper to return, and then go through the barren mountains to take the keel city.

In these more than ten days, Li Xunlian will naturally not be idle, and his mood to improve his cultivation is now so urgent that he can't do more, because after several dangers of surviving, he deeply found that sometimes life and death are only between that line, and the strength is one point higher, and maybe the possibility of life is one point greater.

The pure Xuan Qi that poured into the body in the Absolute Xuan Prison has long been dissipated, and now Li Xunlian is the same as the two qi, because the innate demon qi is suppressed by the increasingly powerful Xuan Yin Qi, so there has not been much improvement, but the Xuan Yin Qi, after having competitors with the same characteristics, seems to have grown very rapidly, and now, Li Xunlian has been able to raise his hand to condense the ice sword, and use the frost sword qi as he wants.

On this day, the sky was overcast and rainy, and a horse came from outside the city, but it was Zhu Tong's men.

I came here for nothing else, just to convey Zhu Tong's glorious achievements.

Since Yong Lin passed away, Zhu Tong's army has swept through the four cities, and in a few days, he will resist the last pass in front of the Dragon Bone City, and according to his overwhelming speed, it will not take long for the troops to come to the Dragon Bone City!

Ten days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, during this time, Li Xunlian thinks about creating a weapon every day in addition to cultivation, after all, no matter how strong the Killing God Sword is, it can only be used for defense for him now, and for some reason, the Killing God Sword has always rejected his Xuan Qi, even if it is used for defense, it can only play a role under special circumstances.

Of course, it is not only Li Xunlian's Xuan Qi that is excluded by the God Killing Sword, to be precise, all Xuan Qi should not be accepted by it.

This place, the city is dilapidated and the market is withered, it is a real small city-state, and there is almost no hope of finding suitable materials here, so Li Xunlian will not waste time here.

You must know that the two best materials, Extreme Cold Xuanbing and Jinjing Iron Jade, are kept in his Sumeru ring, so the materials are not worried, and the reason why Li Xunlian has not smelted weapons for a long time is mainly due to the existence of the inscription.

With his current technique, it was easy to perfectly fuse the Extreme Cold Xuanbing and the Golden Crystal Iron Jade, but remembering the miracle of the inscription, Li Xunlian couldn't do it.

He is a person who cherishes materials very much, and materials of this level naturally have to cooperate with the inscription, and it is not known that the artifact will be smelted in one fell swoop.

However, if you want to use the inscription as the foundation for smelting, you need to wait until the end of the southern expedition, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that if you want to withdraw from the south, it will take at least a month's work.

Moreover, the situation in this matter is changing rapidly, and whether or not he can return to Divine Sword Peak safely in the end is an unpredictable thing.

So after thinking about it in the end, Li Xunlian finally made up his mind to start the furnace and smelt, after all, what they will face in the next time is likely to be the last battle in the south, and the danger can be imagined, if there is no weapon at hand, the strength will definitely be greatly reduced.

The time to open the furnace was chosen in the evening, the sky burned with clouds and dyed the sky red, because the city was not rich in the first place, and had just escaped from the war, so there were few pedestrians on the street, only the sporadic hawkers had to walk the streets and alleys in order to make a living, hoping that someone would buy goods and add some money to their shriveled pockets.

Retracting his gaze from the street, Li Xunlian took a few deep breaths, and next, he was about to start smelting.

The furnace started a fire, the materials were added, and the holy will was injected, and all the procedures were successfully completed in a very short time, but if it just ended like this, although the minimum quality of this weapon after it was baked would not be lower than that of the holy weapon, but the highest quality, I am afraid that it would not be able to break through the Dragon Shadow Sword, and it could only be a holy weapon primary.

As the saying goes, the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, although Li Xunlian has a deep affection for the Dragon Shadow Sword, but since the Dragon Shadow Sword is destroyed, then his next weapon must surpass the Dragon Shadow Sword, which responds to another old saying, people go to high places, and water flows to low places.

Secretly made up his mind in his heart, Li Xunlian interrupted the process that was about to be completed, he was going to take a risk now, and with the memory of the inscription in his mind, see if he could carve a inscription by himself!

This is undoubtedly a bold attempt, because the inscription on the stone pillar of the Nujiang River is properly portrayed by the predecessors, and when Hu Wan and Li Yanran return to the furnace and smelt, there is no need for Li Xunlian to worry about anything.

Now, Li Xunlian wants to depict the inscription himself, regardless of whether he can succeed for the time being, if he fails, it is unknown what will happen.

Perhaps, the material will disappear directly, and even, the Holy Will of the Smelting Weapon, which he has studied for more than ten years, will have an impact.

After all, according to his comprehension, weapons are friends, and if the inscription fails, he should be able to keep the soul of the weapon from destruction by communicating with the weapon soul that has been formed. But if he fails, then it proves that his understanding is fundamentally wrong, weapons are weapons, cold-blooded objects used to kill people.

The process of depicting the inscription is very long, although Li Xunlian has a strong memory, but the inscription is extremely mysterious, and every minute stroke in it is impossible to make mistakes.

Half a time into the quiet slipped away, but Li Xun only carved less than one-fifth of the inscription, but fortunately there was no abnormal situation during this period, which shows that the one-fifth inscription that has been carved should be no different from the stone pillar.

The evening breeze blows, the leaves of the trees rustle in the forest, this is a willow forest located in the city, the forest is very small, and the total is only one acre square, but it is better to be quiet and peaceful here, which is conducive to Li Xunlian's full devotion to the smelter.

For the sake of quietness, Li Xunlian thought so too, but there were a few previous cases, Mei Wu said that Li Xunlian would not be alone in their sight.

So, Mei Wu also followed. This situation was expected by Li Xunlian, he knew Mei Wu too well. However, to his surprise, Ruan Lin actually followed.

Compared with the former, Li Xunlian can still leave with a joke, but no matter what Ruan Lin did before, he is now a new member, and Li Xunlian is really embarrassed to bombard.

"Why is the childe smelting tool so cumbersome, what is this circle, why have I never seen it?" Ruan Lin watched quietly for a long time, and at this moment, seeing Li Xunlian relax a little, he couldn't help but ask.

For the sake of face, Li Xunlian had no choice but to reply: "Mingtu, it's normal that you haven't seen this kind of thing, according to my estimate, few people in the Kyushu Continent have seen it." ”

Ruan Lin sighed, and then fell silent again. Sometimes I have to sigh at the power of love, what Ruan Lin was like before, everyone can see, but since she decided to follow Huanfeng, the whole person has directly undergone a 180-degree change, not only becoming dignified and responsible, but even sometimes revealing a little bit of a little woman.

Of course, it's not accurate to say that it's love, after all, it's not known what kind of attitude Huanfeng has on his side, and in the end, the relationship between this woman and Huanfeng is very likely to turn into a sad unrequited love.

Thinking of this, Li Xunlian couldn't help but be slightly worried in his heart, he was afraid that Huanfeng would not agree, this Ruan Lin's temperament changed greatly, and it was not easy to change his evil and return to the right, if it was really like that, it would be even more sad.

It was just a slight distraction, and the inscription suddenly distorted, and an inexplicable feedback came into Li Xunlian's mind, which made his heart flutter.

In fact, it was not the inscription that gave feedback to Li Xunlian, but the weapon that had already formed in the smelting furnace at this moment. Because there has been no mistake in the inscription before this, the weapons in the furnace have been quietly "waiting", but at this moment, due to Li Xunlian's distraction, the inscription has changed, and the weapons in the furnace have naturally been affected, so he sent feedback to Li Xunlian.

For now, his comprehension of the weapon is still correct, because he regards the weapon as a friend, so the weapon soul will send feedback at the first time, warning him to pay full attention. However, if this is replaced by Jing Yuan and Gongsun Yu, I believe that the soul will also send feedback, although their comprehension is not the same as Li Xunlian's, but there is one thing that is the same goal, that is, the three of them regard the weapon as a living cargo, not a cold-blooded tool.

With this vigilance, Li Xunlian no longer dared to be distracted, and devoted himself to the engraving of the inscription.

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how long it took, but the moon had risen anyway, and the moonlight was shining all over the land, so that the whole willow forest was shrouded in a clear light.

Mei Wu and Ruan Lin didn't leave, Mei Wu's thoughts needless to say, even if she stayed up until tomorrow morning, she would definitely not leave if she didn't see Li Xunlian smelting the weapons safely and soundly. As for Ruan Lin, she must have felt that she wanted to do what Huanfeng should do and do well, so she stayed here.

For these, Li Xunlian naturally has no heart to think about it now, he is already sweating profusely at the moment, and the inscription depiction begins to become more and more complicated in the later stage, and his brain is becoming more and more confused, as if there are flaws in every depiction, which makes him uncertain.

The weapon in the smelting furnace has already been formed, and it is still a long sword, but it is still uncertain what the soul is, after all, the inscription has not yet been completed, although the soul has already established an induction with Li Xunlian, but what is it, the feedback to Li Xunlian's mind is still only a blur.

It was more than half of the time to pass, Li Xunlian finally breathed a sigh of relief, the last stroke of the inscription fell gently, if nothing else, this first attempt to add the inscription to the smelting process was considered a success.

After waiting for a while, seeing that nothing unusual had happened to the smelting furnace and the inscription, Li Xunlian was completely relieved.

"It seems that it has really succeeded!" Li Xunlian looked happy, and immediately began to put the finishing touches on it, that is, to form the outline of the soul according to his own wishes and complete the original appearance.

In line with the idea of commemorating the Dragon Shadow Sword, at first Li Xunlian wanted to choose the dragon instrument soul again, but then after thinking about it, he felt that it was the right way to be pragmatic, and now he has already cultivated the Xuanyin Qi quite a small success, not surprisingly, this will be a means of killing enemies that has accompanied him for a long time, so choosing the instrument soul should be the most practical choice that is in line with the direction of the Xuanyin Qi.

But what is compatible with the Xuanyin Qi?

Simply condense the soul of a Chief Wei directly, his old man is the founder of Xuanyin Qi!

Thinking of this, Li Xunlian smiled, this is naturally a joke, the head of Wei is still alive, and doing this is really a bit like cursing others.

After thinking about it, Li Xunlian didn't think of a suitable instrument soul, and in the end, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering the night battle half a month ago.

The golden snowflakes in the sky urged by Zhang Songxi really made them suffer a lot, but aside, the golden snowflakes in the sky are indeed spectacular, and they just fit the characteristics of the extremely cold ice and the golden essence and iron jade, so it is better to use this as the soul to end this smelting!

Now that the decision has been made, the rest of the matter is simple, Li Xunlian regained his concentration and calmed down, and the scene of the day appeared in his mind, after a quarter of an hour of pondering, the smelting furnace finally came with a loud bang, and then a puff of gold and blue and wrong light rose to the sky......

Stayed up almost all night, Li Xunlian felt better immersed in the smelter, Mei Wu and Ruan Linke were terrible, boring and boring, not to mention, these two stayed together, embarrassment is the most fatal.

Seeing that Li Xunlian finally succeeded in smelting, the two cheered at the same time and walked quickly towards Li Xunlian.

The golden light permeated the four fields, and the blue ice light was also shimmering, leaving the halo of this small willow forest, as if it was not in the world.

Suddenly, the light gradually dissipated, Li Xunlian's hand has also had an extra three-foot Qingfeng, the blade is pure white, there is no need to urge the Xuanqi, there is a double light of gold and blue flowing, the hilt and the sword body meet, a golden snowflake flashing with blue light is for the sword drag, at this moment Li Xunlian stood with the sword, and the whole person exuded a kind of cold and entrained Jin Rui with the sword.

"Finally succeeded, Childe, what grade is this sword?" asked Mei Wu with a smile.

"And what's your name? Ruan Lin also asked.

However, Li Xunlian didn't answer, as if he hadn't even heard the words of the two, his face was full of excitement and incredulity, he just looked the long sword in his hand up and down, and stood there motionless.

It could be seen that Li Xunlian was very satisfied with this long sword, so Mei Wu and Ruan Lin stopped bothering him, and stayed quietly aside, waiting for Li Xunlian to "wake up".
