Chapter 574: Fang Shi Mansion (Second Watch)
Although the showdown time is a little earlier now, but if there are ministers like Elder Shi to help, then Bai Yue will weigh three points even if he wants to do it, after hesitating for a moment and figuring out the joints, Li Xiao made a decision and said: "Okay, since Elder Shi has said everything about this, then Li has to reluctantly make it difficult." ”
In the end, after some careful consideration, Li Xiao still agreed to Elder Shi's proposal. Seeing this, Elder Shi couldn't help but nod his head again and again, his eyes showing relief, and then, he leaned over to Li Xiao's ear to lower his voice and tell the whole story of his plan.
About an hour later, Li Xiao walked out of the Elder's Mansion.
Politely declined Tang Yu Xiaobao's send-off, Li Xiao put his hands behind his back, and walked on the street leisurely, enjoying the street scene of the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom.
The houses on both sides are mainly bamboo houses with upper and lower floors of dry bars, which look antique, and many trees are planted in front of the door, which is full of greenery and vitality.
The architectural styles of ancient China are mostly symmetrical in the central axis, square and strict group combination and layout. The architectural style of Nanzhao is not the same, pay attention to the division and sitting, and each has its own echo, the trees and vegetation are dotted among them, and there is a kind of beauty close to nature.
Pedestrians on the road, especially women, are also dressed very gorgeously, and the crown on their heads is matched with well-cut bright clothes, which gives people a bright feeling and is very gorgeous.
After leaving the capital, there is a rolling mountain range. Li Xiao climbed to a high place, and secretly mobilized his true qi to infuse into a pair of eyes, and suddenly the essence light flashed, and his vision widened.
And when Li Xiao's gaze looked into the distance, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
I saw that the huge Nanzhao Kingdom was almost surrounded by continuous lofty mountains, the mountains and forests were deserted, wild beasts were very rare, occasionally one or two unknown birds and finches screamed, hurriedly flying, although it was daytime, but there was also a faint miasma faintly visible in the woods.
As far as the eye can see, Li Xiao can see that many lakes and rivers have dried up to the bottom, the grass and trees have dried up and withered, and there are no grains in the rice fields, as well as the white corpses and bones in the wilderness because of the heat and drought, the scorching heat has scorched the surface of the ground and distorted a little, but even so, there is no rain from the sky, and the sultry air is even a little viscous.
There is no doubt that at this time, the Nanzhao Kingdom was suffering from an unprecedented drought, and on the border, there were more Nanzhao troops standing in confrontation with their neighbors, and the atmosphere was tense and dignified, giving people a sense of tension.
"I have to say that the current Nanzhao Kingdom is really suffering from internal and external troubles." After a long time, the light in Li Xiao's eyes faded and converged, and he muttered: "However, the current Nanzhao Kingdom has not experienced floods, which means that the current timeline is still before the beginning of the plot. ”
Overlooking the scene below the mountain, Li Xiao also had a rough judgment of the current point in time, he slowly withdrew his gaze, sighed slightly, and walked in the direction of the mountain.
……
……
When he walked halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind a big tree next to the hillside, Li Xiao couldn't help frowning, his footsteps suddenly stepped out, his figure shook, and in a blink of an eye, he had already come behind the big tree.
There were two people hiding behind the big tree, and I saw that these two people were dressed in strong suits, and they both had a long sword hanging from their waists, and in addition, the most striking thing was the silver crescent moon on their foreheads.
Although Li Xiao was very unfamiliar with these two people, when he saw the silver crescent symbol on the other party's forehead, he immediately knew the identity of the other party, these were two lunarists!
When the two of them saw Li Xiao suddenly appear in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts, panic flashed on their faces, and their hands were also coincidentally held on the hilt of the sword, ready to pull out.
"What are the two of you?" Li Xiao pointed to the posture of the two of them about to draw their swords, with a harmless smile on his face.
The faces of the two changed, and after exchanging glances with each other, they quickly removed their hands from the hilt of their swords, and one of the men squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "We went for a walk in the mountains, and it was a coincidence that we actually met the scribe. ”
"It's such a coincidence, it's really rare." Li Xiao said teasingly.
"yes... Seeing that we have been out for a long time, it's time to go back, Master Fangshi, let's take our leave first. "The two of them are about to slip away when they see the opportunity.
"Since I'm here, I don't think I have to leave!"
When the two of them turned around, Li Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and the murderous intent loomed in his eyes, and between the lightning and flint, Li Xiao's body was like electricity, his iron palm flipped over, and he imprinted forward with surging energy, and slapped the back of the head of one of the Lunatic Cultists with a "bang", and his brain splashed everywhere and he was killed on the spot.
The other Lunatic Cultist was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and took a step back, and at the same time drew his sword, and a flickering cold sword shadow slashed towards Li Xiao from the bottom up in the sharp sound of breaking the wind.
Li Xiao seemed to be prepared, his shoulders shook slightly, and he dodged the slash sideways, and at the same time, his body bowed slightly, and the tip of his bent elbow gathered enough strength, and slammed into the Lunatic cultist who had no time to put away his sword, and the latter's neck "clicked" and broke, flying upside down like a kite with a broken string, crawling motionless to the end, it seemed that he was obviously dead and could not die anymore.
Li Xiao only took a few breaths from the time he discovered these two Lunatic Cultists to the time he killed them, but there was a slight solemnity in his eyes: "From this point of view, the Lunatic Cult is already being targeted by the Lunatic Cult now." ”
I don't know if the two of them heard anything, but for the sake of insurance, Li Xiao finally killed people.
Li Xiao scattered his thoughts and explored around the hillside, and after making sure that there were no other Lunatic Cult eyes and ears here, he casually threw a fireball, burned the bodies of the two people, and cleaned up the traces of the scene, Li Xiao went down the mountain and left.
Li Xiao followed the memories in his mind, walked all the way through the capital, and after turning a few corners, he finally returned to his original residence.
This residence, called Fangshi's Mansion, although it is a mansion, but there is only a small courtyard in and out, there is no magnificent decoration here, it is not luxurious, and even it seems a little simple and shabby, and even the servants in the mansion are very few.
The original body has a respectable status in the Nanzhao Kingdom, but the place where he lives is so simple, it is enough to see that the original body is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune.
