053: Xiangyang and his party
Although Liu Jian's immediate goal of coming to Pegasus Ranch from Yuhang this time has been exceeded, at this moment, he is really not in a hurry to go back to Yuhang.
On Yuhang's side, there are Medea and Artoria in charge, unless the two of them have a conflict and infighting, there should be no danger. Now the entire Yuhang has turned into a large-scale position of Medea, and in a position of that scale, even the magic-level great magic Medea is at her fingertips. What's more, in addition to the magic under the mechanism of Xingyue, the current Medea also has another kind of magic, even if Liu Jian herself fights with the current Medea, she will not be able to get any benefits when Medea is fully prepared.
What's more, Medea also has Artoria's combat power protection by her side. In addition to Yuhang, there are also forces of the Dongming faction that can act as foreign aid, and now there is a Pegasus Ranch to be added, and it is not an exaggeration to call Yuhang impregnable.
In fact, after completing the initial construction, the current Yuhang City does not need to sit on its own, and it is not of much use to go back by itself, because the current Yuhang is completely in a state of self-preservation and lack of progress. Medea couldn't solve the problem of unlimited use of magic in this Tang world, and Liu Jian lacked enough attack power. In this case, even if he went back, it didn't make much sense.
So, just don't go back.
There are a lot of things with special value in the world of the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the relics of the Evil Emperor that have fallen into the hands of Liu Jian and are being studied by Medea, in addition to the mysterious God of War Catalogue among the four great books of the highest martial arts book in Huang Yi's works. He had already obtained the Heavenly Demon Dafa in the "Recipe for Eternal Life" and "Heavenly Demon Strategy", and the Heavenly Demon Dafa was the most core part of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" in addition to the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa. What's more, if he can get on the line with the Yin Sect, with the help of Zhu Yuyan, he can complete the ideal of unifying the two factions and six realms of the Demon Sect. It wasn't difficult to collect the rest of the Heavenly Demon Strategy.
Then the only thing left is the "Cihang Sword Codex" hidden in the Cihang Jingzhai of Emperor Ta Peak.
Although many people think that the "Cihang Sword Codex" among the four great strange books can be called a representative work with no name, the other three of the four great strange books have methods to break the void, the highest "God of War Catalogue" not to mention, "The Recipe for Eternal Life" has Guangchengzi, the creator, and the Heavenly Demon Ce also has the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa to make Xiang Yutian and Pang Ban successfully broken, and the cultivation of the "Cihang Sword Codex" to the highest level is just a death pass, and there is basically no possibility of breaking the void.
However, Liu Jian still thinks that the "Cihang Sword Codex" has a very good research value, at least ...... It's a collectible that deserves a lot of effort.
In addition to the Cihang Sword Codex. There are still things worth collecting in this Datang world. One of them is the He Shibi that is now in the hands of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple, and the other is the treasure knife Jing Zhongyue obtained by Kou Zhong in the original book, and now this treasure knife is in the hands of Xiao Milling of the Baling Gang.
Compared to taking away the Cihang Sword Code and He's Bi from the hands of Jingnian Zen Monastery and Cihang Jingzhai, it is undoubtedly much easier to take Jing Zhongyue from Xiao Miao.
What's more, the place where he established a base in Yuhang is next to the Chu State established by Lin Shihong and Xiao Milling's Baling Gang forces, going to take Jing Zhongyue, by the way, talking about the reality of Lin Shihong and Xiao Milling, will always add more certainty to the future.
However, before Liu Jian left. But another group of people had already arrived at Pegasus Ranch.
After they came to Pegasus Ranch, they first met with Shang Zhen, the chief steward of the ranch, and explained their intentions, Shang Zhen did not dare to slack off, so he told Liu Jian about the matter.
Liu Jian saw the man in black in the Pegasus Garden of Pegasus Ranch. Seeing Liu Jian in Pegasus Park, the man walked straight to Liu Jian's side, bowed and saluted: "May I ask Your Excellency, is Liu Jian and Liu Daxia in person?" ”
"I am." Liu Jian was surprised: "You are?" ”
"We are the people of Dajianglian." The man in black saluted again and said, "This time I came to Pegasus Ranch." It was on the order of the wife of the alliance lord to invite Liu Daxia to Xiangyang. so that the lady can thank her in person. ”
Liu Jian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he had never been to Xiangyang. With that inexplicable lady of the Oe Alliance, she had never been masked, and she didn't know what they were doing when they ran to Pegasus Ranch to invite them to meet.
There were doubts in his heart, and Liu Jian asked directly.
This person didn't hide it, and directly told the reason.
This reason made Liu Jian couldn't help but be a little stunned.
A few months ago, at Wang Tong's birthday banquet, Liu Jian tried his heart to kill the Turkic master who provoked at Wang Tong's birthday banquet, Liu Jian himself did not take this matter to heart. It's just a Turk, if you kill it, you will kill it, he doesn't know how many people he has killed over the years, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is killing people like hemp.
But Liu Jian doesn't care about Ba Fenghan's death, but someone does.
For example, the wife of the alliance leader of the Great River Alliance.
The wife of the lord of the Dajiang Alliance, whose name is Zheng Shuming, since the death of her husband Jiang Ba, has commanded this non-centripetal alliance composed of more than a dozen gangs as a female streamer, and has managed this non-centripetal alliance in an orderly manner with her own ability and scheming, so that all gangs and factions are willing to obey her orders.
And her husband Jiang Ba was one of the Central Plains masters who were willing to challenge Bai Fenghan when he went south, and was killed by Bai Fenghan on the spot in the competition with Bai Fenghan. Now Zheng Shuming learned that Liu Jian had killed Ba Fenghan and was currently in Pegasus Ranch, so he sent someone to Pegasus Ranch and invited Liu Jian to Xiangyang.
The so-called drowsiness meets the pillow, Liu Jian was going to Baling to find trouble with Xiao Miao, and Xiangyang was a must-pass place. Now that there is a ship from the Great River Union, Liu Jian can take the boat of the Great River Union to Xiangyang first, and then go to Baling.
Therefore, Liu Jian naturally has nothing to discourage.
After talking to Shang Xiuxun's master and servant, Poison Island Tsuneko and Miyamoto Li, the women chose to stay in Pegasus Ranch to continue playing, and they were not interested in the scene of Xiangyang. They have seen enough of the scene of the ancient city of Yuhang, and Xiangyang is even bigger than Yuhang. I don't think there will be too many interesting places, and it will never be more fun than Pegasus Ranch.
Liu Jian took the velociraptor in hand. Alone and the people of Dajiang Lian boarded the boat to Xiangyang.
Xiangyang is an important town in the world, located at the confluence of many rivers on the bank of the Han River, and can refer to Chang'an and Luoyang. Retreat can refuse to defend Jingzhou Xiangfan. Since ancient times, whenever the world is in turmoil, a series of tragic battles will inevitably unfold around Xiangyang. It is precisely because Xiangyang is so important that Jin Yong will arrange Guo Jing and Guo Daxia in the novels "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to defend in Xiangyang to resist the southern invasion of Mongolia.
Now, it is a world of chaos and contention. Xiangyang is a strategic place in the middle of the world. Naturally, it is closely watched by all forces, but the forces surrounding Xiangyang contain each other, and no one will allow others to seize Xiangyang, so that under the competition for me, no one has the ability to suppress other forces in one fell swoop, but it makes Xiangyang appear in a calm state of chaos on the surface, and has not ignited the flames of war so far.
Of course, this calm is destined to be only superficial. Beneath the calm water, there is an undercurrent, and the secret struggle between the forces of all parties has not stopped for even a moment.
The news that Liu Jian was invited by the Great River Union to come to Xiangyang was not long after he was secretly investigated by the spies of many forces in Xiangyang City. And it was quickly passed on to the forces behind their respective countries.
At this time, in a palatial mansion in Xiangyang City, the three of them were getting together to discuss Liu Jian's intentions.
The first of the three. It was a middle-aged man with slightly frosty temples, and he was dressed in a brocade robe. The appearance is handsome, and the gas looks elegant and chic. It's just that a pair of eyes are very evil, revealing unspeakable malice and destroying his temperament.
The other man among the three had a slender horse face and was dressed in wealth and nobility, but he had a strong temperament and gave people a sense of ability.
The last of the three was a woman, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face, skin like jade, as clear as a porcelain jade doll, a pair of big eyes shy and pretty, a shallow shyness in her expression, but with a bit of rippling feeling. Her figure is exquisite, slightly thin and weak, which makes people see a kind of moving charm that I feel sorry for, want to hold her in the palm of my hand, take care of her carefully, and not let her be hurt in any way.
The temperaments of these three people are completely different, but at this moment, the three of them standing together more and more highlight the core characteristics of the three of them, which is so the same.
"Why did Liu Jian come to Xiangyang so openly and go to the banquet of the Great River Alliance?"
The middle-aged man with an elegant temperament gently tapped his palm with the folding fan in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Liu Jian also wants to settle in Xiangfan?" Between him and Xiangfan, but across Shen Faxing, he also wants to reach Xiangyang? ”
"Liu Jian's whereabouts are erratic, and they are always unexpected. No one could have imagined that he would suddenly join forces with the Haisha Gang to capture Yuhang, and no one would have thought that she would suddenly appear in the Pegasus Ranch, which made Li Mi plan for a long time, but instead lost his wife and lost his troops. This time he came to Xiangyang, no matter what the purpose, it is not a good thing for our faction. The middle-aged man who was dressed as a rich man and had a capable look on his face said respectfully: "Therefore, the subordinates think that Liu Jian is here, and we have to guard against it." ”
The rich middle-aged man said with a look of wisdom beads in his hand: "Liu Jian is here to be invited by Dajianglian. Although the Great River Alliance is an alliance of more than a dozen gangs, these gangs themselves are very weak, and there are no masters in charge. After the alliance, although the power was greatly enhanced, so that some young people did not dare to bully at will, but it also attracted the attention and attention of people with ulterior motives. In the beginning, the Great River Alliance was still able to move between the various forces, but now...... Dajianglian went to Pegasus Ranch to invite Liu Jian to come this time, probably to repay the favor is fake, and use Liu Jian's voice to intimidate the claws stretched out by the major forces. ”
"Well, that's a good idea." The dashing and elegant middle-aged man nodded and said, "However, we don't need to take action in person, there are many people in Xiangyang City who want Liu Jian's life." I heard that the momentum of 'supporting Li Meng' is getting bigger and bigger today, and Li Mi's only son Li Tianfan died at the hands of Liu Jian, so let this 'supporting Li Meng' touch Liu Jian's stone, and I will wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"Uncle Bian is thoughtful, and no disciple can do it." The middle-aged man with a horse face said respectfully.
The one who was called Duguan by the chic and elegant middle-aged man was the Xiangyang Dahao Shuangdao Qian Duguan. On the surface, he is the number one faction in Xiangyang and the leader of the Hanshui faction, but in fact he is a disciple of the Yin Sect.
And Qian Duguan called Uncle Bian is naturally the first old Yin Demon in the Tang Dynasty, an elder of the Yin Sect, a strong man at the grandmaster level, and the Demon Hidden Side.
When Bian Buyi and Qian Duguan were talking, the beautiful girl who kept silent and listened with a smile was one of the two major disciples of Zhu Yuyan, the queen of Yin, and the younger sister of Wanwan, Bai Qing'er.
At this time, Bai Qing'er's shining eyes rolled slightly, and she said coquettishly: "Senior Uncle Bian, Senior Sister has rumored that the whereabouts of the Holy Emperor Relic are in the hands of that Liu Jian. The relics of the Holy Emperor are my holy treasures, and they are also the things that the master and her old man want to obtain. Why don't you ask Qing'er to go and test it, I heard that Liu Jian has more than a dozen wives and concubines in his family, who are very greedy and lustful, and he likes beauties the most. If the disciple goes out, he will not be able to find out the whereabouts of the Holy Emperor Relic from him. ”
Bian lived up to his words, looked at Bai Qing'er's beautiful face with squinting eyes and said: "Hehe, Qing'er, even Uncle Shi has never been able to kiss your Fangze, how can Liu Jian's little white face let you be tempted?" Could it be that you heard about Liu Jian's deeds of fighting against ten thousand armies alone, and you moved his heart to him? ”
"Uncle Shi?" Bai Qing'er looked shy and very aggrieved and said: "In the heart of the slave family, there has always been only Uncle Shi. ”
Bian Bu smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, accept your goblin skills." Your little Taoism is not enough in the eyes of your uncle. ”
"I still can't fool Uncle Shi." Bai Qing'er smiled shyly again, the tears in her eyes disappeared without a trace, and she chuckled: "Uncle Shi's eyes are like torches, it is Qing'er's class that has made the axe." ”
"As for tempting Liu Jian, let's let those fools who 'support Li Meng' take the lead." Bian Buyi said: "Duguan, where Liu Jian's ship docks, can you find out clearly?" ”
"Don't worry, Uncle Bian, your subordinates have already arranged everything." Qian Duguan smiled and said: "The day Liu Jian arrives in Xiangyang, it must be a bloody storm, and when the time comes, we can also take a closer pass of Liu Jian's reality to see if he can really defeat the army with his own strength?!" (To be continued.) )
PS: There have been too many things in the past two days, plus I'm not in a very good state, I only updated 3,000 words the day before yesterday, and I broke it directly yesterday.
Fortunately, as of today, it's basically over, and I can also resume the update, but it's unlikely that there will be four changes a day like some time ago, so let's restore the three watches first in the next few days, and the chapters owed by the little eagle will be remembered, and they will definitely be repaid in the future.
