Chapter 17: The Mill in the Rain
It was a sunny weather, but I don't know when, but it has been shrouded in the haze of dark clouds, the whole world, but at the moment it is gloomy, occasionally a silver snake tears the heaven and earth, for this gloomy world, bring a flash of light, but the pouring rain is an instant so that the whole world is shrouded in a hazy rain and fog.
The cold rain sticks the wet placket to the body, which is very uncomfortable, and the delicate body is looming under this rain curtain, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal dust, a little less ethereal, but a little more of my pitiful temperament, which makes people see it, and can't help but have an urge to take it into their arms and take care of it.
Li Xuan looked at the sky, sighed slightly, reached out to untie the placket on his chest, turned over his hand, and covered the wide robe on Wang Yuyan's trembling delicate body in his arms, covering up the looming spring color, although the spring color is good, but there are some things, it is enough to appreciate it alone, and it is not suitable to take it out and share it with others, especially when there is a pig brother who sticks to it like kraft candy nearby, that feeling will undoubtedly be very bad.
"Cousin, Yu Yan is not cold." The placket of the summer clothes is not too thick, and it is difficult to completely dispel the chill on the body when draped on the body, but at this moment, Wang Yuyan, lying in Li Xuan's arms, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, and then feeling the careful care and care from her sweetheart, the chill brought by the rain was completely dispelled by the warmth that rose in her heart at this moment.
"Good, obedient." Tightly hugging the delicate body of the beautiful woman, Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but look into the distance, judging from the current state of the three girls, running in this environment is by no means a good thing, and you must try your best to find a place to stay.
Coaxed a child-like tone, which made Wang Yuyan a little coquettish. But it is more of a kind of warmth that is cared for, especially if you care about yourself, it is still the person you have loved for a long time, Wang Yuyan, who was lying low in Li Xuan's arms, suddenly gave birth to an impulse to hope that it would be forever.
"Childe, there's a small mill not far ahead. Let's go there and take refuge. The untimely voice interrupted Wang Yuyan's unrealistic hopes, and Rao was indignant at Li Shan's inopportune appearance at this moment because of her kindness.
The owner of the mill is a young couple, who are upright and honest, and the female jasper is a little smart, and there are some characteristics of the common people in this era. When Li Shan took out a piece of silver as a reward, he was very enthusiastic to support Wang Yuyan, and took the other four girls to the attic to change their clothes.
Li Xuan sat on a stone bench in the mill, looking at the rain curtain outside the window, but his mind began to think about the gains and losses in the apricot grove.
Although he had long been prepared for the arrival of the Xixia Yipin, Li Xuan still underestimated the other party's ability to infiltrate the beggar gang. Among the beggars, there are obviously hidden piles planted or bought by Yipintang in Xixia, and the sad breeze is not released by the hidden piles of Yipintang hidden in the beggar gang. Coupled with the arrival of people outside the plan such as Li Shan and Wang Yuyan, even he almost fell for the trick without checking, and the original plan also had twists and turns.
And the manpower of Yipintang's arrival this time also exceeded Li Xuan's expectations, even if it was himself and Qiao Feng, plus Fan Yao, Li Shan, and several elders of Wu Qingying, Mu Qingya, and the beggar gang, who were not weak in martial arts, in this case, they could only choose to avoid the edge for the time being. used to single-handedly force the four villains away, but now it seems that it is a bit of a snake.
In the rain curtain, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, which had the momentum of a golden iron horse. Li Xuan frowned slightly, although he hadn't really faced it yet, this kind of extremely rhythmic hoof sound was by no means something that could be found in ordinary Jianghu organizations, but was more like a well-trained elite cavalry army.
In the vicinity of Wuxi, I am afraid that even the government may not be able to get a formed cavalry army, and with such a scale of cavalry appearing at this special moment, the identity of the other party is about to be revealed, but Li Xuan is more concerned about the other party's purpose, coincidence or premeditated?
"What to do? They caught up. Duan Yu already has a good internal strength at this moment, although it is not obtained by his own hard work, but it can also make him deaf and clear, but at this moment, he obviously has not adapted to his identity as a master of the inner family, listening to the sound of horses' hooves that are getting closer and closer, he lost his mind a little anxiously.
"Childe, listen to the voice, the other party is at least a team of knights!" Li Shan looked at Li Xuan, a team of knights, and it was not an ordinary cavalry, but a master of various martial arts, such a team of cavalry was no longer weaker than the regular cavalry of the Chaos Three Kingdoms plane, and in the world, it was even a top first-class army, no wonder Duan Yu, who was the son of Dali, was now even more talented in martial arts.
"Duan Gongzi, the enemy is clear and I am secret, we may not suffer losses, don't mess with ourselves first." Frowning and glancing at Duan Yu, who was extremely flustered, at least for now, it was difficult to feel a trace of the demeanor of an emperor from this person, as for the demeanor of a master...... It never seems to have appeared.
"Murong Gongzi, I'm ......" Feeling Li Xuan's undisguised disdain, Duan Yu was slightly stunned, but his expression gradually calmed down, perhaps because of his immortal sister, Duan Yu was reluctant to show too much cowardice in front of the man in front of him.
"Cousin, what's wrong?" Above the attic, Wang Yuyan poked out her little head and looked at Li Xuan worriedly.
"It's okay, don't come down, Qingying, Qingya, stay on it and protect them." Li Xuan shook his head, a team of elite cavalry, although it is not easy to deal with, but with the help of the terrain of the mill, even if the other party is really not good, it is not difficult to deal with, if it is just a coincidence of passing by, it will undoubtedly be better, and in Li Xuan's guess, the possibility of the other party coming to take shelter from the rain is greater.
No matter how many means Yipintang has, but for a real master, the role that those means can play is minimal, if with Li Xuan's current strength, he was followed and couldn't be discovered in time, then there was no need to mix it anymore, and he also had this mentality, although he was a little surprised by the sudden Yipintang knight, he didn't really take it to heart.
The young couple obviously couldn't be as calm as Li Xuan in the face of the murderous Yipintang samurai, and in the panic, they couldn't take care of this family business anymore, and they wanted to escape from the mill without a head, but they were ruthlessly killed by the oncoming Western Xia warriors.
In this regard, Li Xuan's mood did not fluctuate too much, it was just a meeting in Pingshui, if the other party was smart and hid behind his back, Li Xuan didn't mind being a hand for them, but if he ran away so recklessly, if he was rescued, he would leak himself in advance.
Duan Yu moved, but in the end he didn't make a move, now his biggest reliance is just a set of exquisite Ling Bo micro-steps, although the six-vein divine sword is sharp, but the state of the time is not effective, it is enough to erase the advantage of this exquisite sword technique.
Just looked at Li Xuan's gaze, there was a little more blame, in his opinion, Li Xuan actually had a chance to save these two people.
The wooden door, which was not strong, was kicked away by the Tangut warrior roughly, and after scanning the mill with murderous eyes, he did not find anything abnormal, and turned to the Tangut warrior in the rain curtain outside the door and spoke a little-intelligible Tangut language.
A Western Xia general dressed as a military general was surrounded by several Western Xia warriors, and strode into the mill, but at the moment of entering the mill, a cold killing machine made the Western Xia general's heart tighten, and instinctively rolled sideways, and a wisp of golden energy almost crossed his scalp, and instantly submerged into the skull of a Western Xia warrior on his side.
In the bloom of the blood flower, the body of the Western Xia warrior fell straight to the ground, and there was still a trace of confusion and incomprehension in his eyes.
A trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and the Western Xia generals who had escaped by luck did not have the slightest luck, and the sense of crisis that lingered in his heart not only did not decrease, but worsened.
He didn't get up, he bracked himself on the ground with one hand, and his burly body wanted to fly backwards, knocking a Western Xia warrior into the air, and he was about to fly out of the mill.
"Qiang~"
In the roar of the dragon, a bright sword light tore the air, and a flash of light flashed in the dark mill, and the Western Xia generals flying close to the ground were in the incredible eyes of a group of Western Xia warriors, and the big head suddenly separated, and the corpse that lost the head flew out of the mill like a cannonball by the power of inertia, but the big head flew out in the opposite direction under the spray of blood, rolling down to the ground three zhang away, and the dilated pupils still had a bit of incredible light.
"One Yang Finger!?" Duan Yu looked at Li Shan who slowly withdrew his fingers strangely, but he didn't have much to pay attention to those Western Xia people at the moment, but more attention was focused on the Murong clan general in front of him, who showed his Dali Duan clan's mastery, and he didn't even notice Li Xuan's amazing knife before.
Although he still knows little about martial arts, the six-vein divine sword and the Yiyang finger are already in the same vein, and he has seen his father and uncle Duan Zhengming perform it many times, so he naturally recognizes this Dali Duan's signature martial arts, and has the intention to pursue it, but the current situation is obviously not a suitable time, Li Shan has already carried a steel knife into the crowd.
Although the Western Xia warriors were elite, they were not really elite troops after all, and the smell of the rivers and lakes on their bodies was stronger, and after losing the generals under their command, they immediately fell into a state of fighting on their own, unable to effectively coordinate their own attacks tacitly, and even had a chaotic situation of colliding with each other.
Li Xuan and Li Shan are both veterans who have experienced countless battles, so naturally they will not give the other party a chance to reorganize, the dragon slayer knife left an afterimage of the Dao in the crowd, these masters cultivated by Yipintang in Xixia, but at this moment, life is as fragile as wheat straw, and it is harvested in pieces.
Faced with this situation, Duan Yu, who was originally about to make a move, suddenly found depressed that his savings seemed a little redundant at the moment. (To be continued......)
