Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Death of Emei
I don't know when the sky is drizzling, and although it is the height of summer, there is still a slight chill in the morning breeze of dawn.
Under Ziyun Mountain, there is a new grave at this time, in the thin drizzle, a slender figure knelt numbly in front of the lonely grave, allowing the rain from the sky to soak her clothes, and the skin with the luster of the girl loomed under the soaked placket, which was an extremely tempting scene, but at this moment, the sorrow on the girl's face that could not be dissolved, but it was difficult for people to give birth to a little blasphemy.
"Miss Zhiruo has been kneeling like this for three days and three nights, and if she continues like this, she is afraid that it will be ...... to her body" Li Xuan, Song Yuanqiao, and Master Kongwen stood side by side not far away, looking at the drizzle, the figure that seemed to be blown down by the wind at any time, even if it was iron-hearted, it would turn into a finger twister.
"Sect leader, news came from the Flying Eagle Hall, the Mongolian emperor has escaped from the Yuan capital under the escort of a group of masters, and now he has regrouped in Baoding, with Wang Baobao, the prince of Ruyang, as the general, sent 50,000 troops to suppress the rebellion in the capital, and the Yuan Court also issued a sea fishing document, which can be presented to the head of the sect master, and the reward is ten thousand taels of gold, and regardless of the background, the official is promoted to the third level, and now the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods from all walks of life are moved by the wind, and the shape is very unfavorable to our religion." Yang Xiao walked from behind Li Xuan and bowed.
"This ...... The rebel army in the capital city, to say the least, there are hundreds of thousands, how can Yuan Ting have such confidence that he can exterminate the rebel army with only 50,000 horses? Song Yuanqiao frowned slightly.
"Rebels?" The corners of Li Xuan's mouth swept up with a sneer of disdain: "At the beginning, the common people and merchants who rose up to resist just because they couldn't survive and had no hope of life might have been called the Righteous Army at that time, but from the moment the Imperial City was breached, their nature changed, especially with the large amount of grain and grass transferred to the Yuan Capital by the Mongolian Imperial Court before they were intercepted by them, and the large number of treasures obtained in the Imperial Palace, those who were blinded by interests are no longer worthy of being called the Righteous Army!" ”
Li Xuan snorted coldly, looked at Song Yuanqiao and Master Kongwen and said: "In just three days, a small Yuan capital has actually derived twenty-seven large and small forces, the heads of these forces, do not think about how to unite with the outside world, but for the sake of small profits, they are pouring into each other, constantly depleting their own vitality, such a city, let alone 50,000 Mongolian elites, as long as there are 10,000 soldiers who can fight, and if they are used properly, they can be wiped out in half a month!" ”
Song Yuanqiao and Master Kongwen glanced at each other, and could see the helpless wry smile in each other's eyes, hundreds of thousands of righteous soldiers looked at each other as if they were nothing, this kind of words, if others said it, with the cultivation of the two of them, they would also look at each other, but they had seen Li Xuan's means of turning over his hands to make the capital of a country break the earth within a month, but the two of them did not doubt that Li Xuan had the ability to realize these words.
Looking at the delicate and pitiful figure in the drizzle and haze, Li Xuan sighed lightly and said to the two: "Two, I will persuade Zhiruo, and I will trouble the two of you to inform the disciples of each faction, and prepare, since the Mongolian emperor is safe, I am afraid that he will use all kinds of means to deal with us next, this place is about to become a battlefield of Shura, it is not appropriate to stay for a long time, it is time to leave." ”
"Don't worry." Master Kongwen looked in Zhou Zhiruo's direction, nodded, and turned around to walk side by side with Song Yuanqiao.
"Sect Master, Li Shan's brothers are still in the city, did you send someone to inform them and come to join us?" After watching Song Yuanqiao and the two leave, Yang Xiao approached Li Xuan's side and asked in a low voice.
"No need." Li Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Send someone to inform Li Shan, tell him the news of the Mongols' troops, and Li Shan is in charge of the rest of the matter, I only have two requirements, first, the five of them must give me a complete return; Second, try to preserve the vitality of this rebel army as much as possible, but if you can't do anything, focus on the first one, and protect yourself first. ”
The four generals of the Wind Forest Volcano are the first subordinate generals to follow Li Xuan, and there is no difference in loyalty, but it is a pity that the ability of the four people is really a little shabby in the plane where the fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms are everywhere, as his earliest subordinates, Li Xuan naturally does not want the four of them to be idle all the time, and follow him as a general, and he hopes that they will one day be able to take charge alone, and now it is an opportunity, the strength of the four people, although it is not the top in the plane of Yitian, but it is not bad, and they have been by their side, It is easy to be suppressed by his own light, and now that the opportunity is rare, it is time for the four of them to try to be independent, even if they fail, they are not afraid, the Heavenly Plane is not their main battlefield after all, it can be regarded as giving the four of them some opportunities to practice.
"Don't worry, the sect leader will do it." Yang Xiao smiled slightly and bowed to leave.
Seeing Yang Xiao's figure disappear into the rain curtain, Li Xuan suddenly shook his head with a chuckle, Yang Xiao became more and more like a qualified subordinate after a period of precipitation, turned around, and walked towards the lonely new grave in the rain curtain.
Zhou Zhiruo stared at the grave in front of him motionlessly, the tombstone in front of the grave was engraved with the word Emei extinction, and his eyes revealed an unspeakable helplessness and confusion and deep exhaustion, although the extinction is severe, the requirements for the disciples are also extremely harsh, Zhou Zhiruo has a blue heart, more than ten years of getting along, can feel the strong love for the disciple under the cold appearance of the extinction, more than ten years of getting along, extinction for Zhou Zhiruo, is not just as simple as a master, but also like a mother, is her spiritual pillar, Now that her spiritual pillar has left her so suddenly, her world has suddenly become dim, and the cold raindrops continue to drop on her body, and the coldness continues to invade her body, but it is still not as cool as the one in her heart.
"Do you blame me?" A delicate coat was draped on Zhou Zhiruo's body, and Li Xuan's figure appeared quietly beside her, very abrupt and natural, as if he had been standing there from beginning to end, and there was still a man's body temperature on the coat, so that the already cold body could get a trace of warmth.
In the distance, in a dense forest, Song Qingshu stared at the two people next to Emei's grave, the hand holding the coat was pinched tightly, the bone joints began to turn white, but he didn't go out, just stared at the man's figure with a resentful gaze, in the resentment, but with a strong fear, in the end, he didn't go out, stayed in the woods silently, staring at the figures of the two people.
Shaking her head, Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were a little more bright, but she didn't shift her gaze, and the soft voice came into Li Xuan's ears very clearly in the rain curtain: "Master, she said before she died, although she hated Mingjiao, she didn't hate Brother Li, it was Mingjiao who ruined her life's hard work, but Brother Li brought light to the Emei faction, and my Emei faction has been taking the expulsion of the Tartars as its own responsibility since the creation of the faction, the master said...... She said that Brother Li is the only young hero in today's martial arts who can realize the great cause of the Emei faction, which makes me ......" In the end, two sickly blushes appeared on his pale face for some reason, but he didn't continue.
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, his gaze fell on the tombstone of extinction again, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I have always felt that the exterminator is too rigid and paranoid, and takes the distinction between good and evil too seriously, but now it seems that I am biased. ”
Li Xuan didn't like the understanding of extinction due to the influence of the original book, but he forgot that this is not exactly the world in the novel, everyone here is flesh and blood, and after a long time, even he himself will unconsciously bring himself into it, so what qualifications does he have to interpret everyone here with the character template in the novel?
Zhou Zhiruo didn't answer, extinction is dead, no matter what she was like in life, but for Zhou Zhiruo, she is also a teacher and a mother, and the only relative in this world, she doesn't want to talk about the rights and wrongs of extinction after the death of the exterminator.
"The deceased is gone, the road of life, no matter how hard it is, the living people will continue to walk, although the exterminator has unfortunately passed away, but her will still needs someone to complete, since she regards you as her heir, do you think it is appropriate to toss her body like this?" Li Xuan smiled and turned his head to look at Zhou Zhiruo.
"But I don't know what to do?" Zhou Zhiruo turned her head and looked at Li Xuan, her eyes revealing unprecedented confusion and panic.
Li Xuan shook his head: "Don't think too far, now you just need to take every step in front of you well and steadily, and the road in the future will naturally appear, you and me." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Zhiruo's eyes suddenly became a little sour, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
"Get up, we must leave as soon as possible." Li Xuan stood up, saluted again at the extinct tombstone, and stretched out his hand to Zhou Zhiruo.
Looking at the big hand in front of her that was a little rough because of years of knife practice, Zhou Zhiruo put her slender hand in the palm of the other party's hand with a slightly red face, feeling the temperature from the palm, but a trace of peace of mind rose in her heart for no reason.
"Uh~" As soon as she got up, Zhou Zhiruo suddenly stumbled, she couldn't kneel for three days, her leg meridians had long been numb, and when she got up suddenly, it was difficult to grasp her balance, and her whole body fell into Li Xuan's arms involuntarily.
"Are you alright?" Li Xuan lowered his head and looked at Zhou Zhiruo at a loss, a little funny.
"It's okay, thank you, Brother Li." Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly lowered her head, didn't dare to face those eyes, struggled a few times, broke free from Li Xuan's arms, and stood in place embarrassed.
"Yo~ What a pair of crazy men and women, I was a little moved to see it." A sharp voice interrupted the quiet atmosphere at an inopportune time, and the two looked up, but saw Ding Minjun with a group of Emei disciples appearing not far away, Ding Minjun looked at the two of them with a playful sneer.
