Chapter 105: Winning or Losing
Xia Lincheng stood on the hill outside Chang'an City, tiptoeing in the direction of the city gate.
He regretted agreeing to his son-in-law's request, but...
He only has such a daughter, he knows his daughter's affection for that stinky boy, and as a father, he can't see his daughter widowed at a young age. There was no way, he could only take a big risk to meet Xu Han, who was regarded by Zhu Xian as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, on the hill outside Chang'an City.
It's just that he waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Xu Han, but what he was waiting for was...
A group of soldiers with majestic weapons and white armor like snow, those white-armored soldiers walked neatly, with a long sword at their waists, and the proud sword intent flowed in the queue as they walked.
Xia Lincheng knew that answering Xu Han was a matter that would cause his head to fall to the ground if he was not careful, so he had been cautious, any wind and grass was enough to provoke his tense nerves, and the arrival of this tens of thousands of troops naturally could not hide from him, he was very wise to lead his extremely servants to retreat not far away, that is, on the hill where he was at this moment, carefully observing the group of soldiers who suddenly arrived.
Xia Lincheng is also the head of the Moon Lake Cave, and he is also a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou, so he naturally has some knowledge, and his cat walked behind the hill with his eyes on the dense group of armor soldiers, and finally landed on the body of a man in a green shirt who was the leader.
The man was about fifty years old, with a long white and black beard on his chin and two long swords on his back.
He stood there proudly, with a grim look on his face, and his waist straight, like a sword hidden in its sheath, the day it was unsheathed, the heavens and the earth trembled, and the sun and the moon were dull.
Xia Lincheng recognized him.
Or that no one in the rivers and lakes of Dazhou knows him.
He has a well-known name, Heaven Dou City Lord Yue Fuyao!
And it is not difficult to guess the identity of the row of armor soldiers with long swords at their waists in front of them, it is the Heaven Dou Army in the Heavenly Dou City.
Yue Fuyao came to Chang'an with the Heaven Dou Army at this time, does that mean that this Yue Jianxian, who has never participated in the court dispute, has also decided to intervene in today's battle for imperial power?
Whether it is the elite army under his command or his own cultivation as an immortal, without exception, he is enough to become a key force to change the direction of today's imperial power struggle. Thinking of this, Xia Lincheng's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly understood why Song Yueming would transfer him outside Chang'an City, this response to Xu Han may be one of the purposes, and the second purpose is likely to let the Moon Lake Cave avoid this confusing and chaotic battle.
Xia Lincheng's brows furrowed when he thought of this, he had never heard anyone in the Long Night Division say that he would invite Yue Fuyao, and the Heaven Dou City in charge of Xuzhou had always been at odds with the Long Night Division, and it was also the only state and county in Great Zhou that was no longer under the control of the Long Night Division, such a Heaven Dou City was obviously unlikely to be a helper invited by Zhu Xian, so...
Thinking of this, Xia Lincheng's heart was shocked.
"Alas, I said uncle, you can't do it, we have been walking the road to Chang'an for more than ten days this time, can you find the way?" And at this moment, a young voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
The voice didn't seem to have the slightest intention of avoiding the mighty armor in front of Chang'an City, and it was very clear that it came into Xia Lincheng's ears, and Xia Lincheng, who was already thinking about these things related to the direction of Yuehu Cave and even the Great Zhou, was shocked and hurriedly followed the prestige.
I saw that in the depths of the dense forest, two figures, one tall and one short, slowly walked towards here.
The older was a man of about forty years old, dressed in black, with a kind face, but the eyebrows on his eyes were snow-white, while the younger was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, a little thin, but on his back he carried two swords almost the length of his body.
If it were placed on weekdays, Xia Lincheng would not stop for these two people for half a minute, but at this moment, the relaxed look on the faces of those two people was incompatible with the turbulent undercurrent of Chang'an City at this moment.
"How can you blame me? Haven't you been to Chang'an? Can't you find your way?" The middle-aged man listened to the young man's complaints, and was quite angry, so he retorted immediately.
The boy's face froze at that time, he scratched the back of his head, and his voice suddenly became a little smaller, "I was also following the lord of the mansion at the time, and I didn't pay attention at all, when I left... and in a hurry..."
The two of them said as if no one else was talking, but their footsteps gradually leaned towards this place.
Xia Lincheng's face changed, and he secretly thought that he must not come here, he didn't want to attract the attention of Yue Fuyao Yue Sword Immortal in front of the city gate, but such a thought just rose...
The young man's tender voice came again.
"Hey, uncle, you see there's someone there, let's go and ask. ”
So the old and the young walked to Xia Lincheng's side, and the middle-aged man wanted to bow to Xia Lincheng quite respectfully, and then asked loudly: "In Xianning Zhumang and the juniors came here to go to Chang'an, but they lost their way, I don't know if this brother can be..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Lincheng, who heard the word Ning Zhumang, was shocked, and couldn't help but look up carefully, only to see that the man in front of him was Ning Zhumang, the former head of the Linglong Pavilion!
"Brother Ning!" he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
And the man who called himself Ning Zhumang was also stunned at that time, he raised his eyes to look at Xia Lincheng, and only then did he recognize the other party, his face was happy, and he also said: "Brother Xia!"
"Do you know?" asked the young man with the sword on his back, a little stunned.
"Naturally recognized. Ning Zhumang nodded, looked at Xia Lincheng again, and asked, "Why is Brother Xia here?"
Xia Lincheng remembered that not long ago, Linglong Pavilion announced that Ning Zhumang, Zhong Changhe and Long Congyun had died unexpectedly, and now seeing Ning Zhumang appear alive in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. At this moment, when he heard Ning Zhumangzhi's question, he came back to his senses, and he was about to say something, but at that moment, there was another voice in the distance.
"If the two of you want to save the boy named Xu Han, then stop chatting. He can't wait much longer for you. The voice was full of breath, with an innate majesty.
Xia Lincheng and Ning Zhumang were both stunned at that time, and when they followed the prestige, they saw that among the mighty white-armored soldiers at the foot of the mountain, a man with a long sword was squinting at them.
Just at a glance, Xia Lincheng felt a great shock, although this realm of immortals and the realm of Dayan are only one realm, in fact, they are different from cloud and mud.
Only then did he come to his senses, he thought he was hiding seamlessly, but how could he hide it from the eyes and ears of an immortal?
"The Mansion Master is in danger?" And the young man beside Ning Zhumang obviously didn't have as much thought as Xia Lincheng, his face immediately changed when he heard this, and he didn't care about the identity of the other party's immortal, so he asked loudly and worriedly.
"Hmm. And Yue Fuyao didn't look the slightest annoyed, just nodded lightly at that time. "If you don't hurry up, you'll have to go and collect the boy's body. ”
The young man who heard this suddenly changed his face, he looked at Ning Zhumang beside him, Ning Zhumang also nodded with a calm face, the two of them couldn't care about anything else at that time, and bowed slightly towards Yue Fuyao and Xia Lincheng, and walked quickly in the direction of Chang'an City.
And Yue Fuyao seemed to be intent on cooperating, and at that time, he let the army gathered in front of the gate of Chang'an City make way for the two.
......
Until I saw these two people walk into the gate of Chang'an City.
A young man walked beside Yue Fuyao, the young master of Heaven Dou City at that time, Yue Chengpeng.
He looked at his father rather confused, and asked, "The agreement we reached with Mr. Lu doesn't seem to have this article, that Xu Han is a link in the dragon and snake twins, if my father saves him, wouldn't it make the Tiance Mansion's plans for more than ten years come to naught?"
Yue Chengpeng had a relationship with Xu Han before he went to Dahuang City, and in his heart, he had a good sense of that Xu Mansion Lord. Not to mention that they are just friends in Pingshui, but they are friends who are irreversible, and in this matter of survival in the world, personal emotions seem so insignificant. So he couldn't figure out why his father would choose to help Xu Han at this time.
Yue Jianxian, who had been famous for a long time, did not look back, he still looked straight in the direction of the city gate, and only muttered to himself after a long time.
"I didn't help him, I just felt that a teenager who could make Canghailiu value him so much shouldn't be just an outcast..."
"Besides, he is the one who was planted with a sword seed by Canghailiu, I don't believe that Canghailiu is really so ruthless that he can give up his disciple like this, I lost him back then, this little favor can be regarded as a favor for him. ”
When Yue Chengpeng heard this, his body suddenly shook, he looked at his father in some surprise, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't my father lose back then?"
"Win?" Yue Fuyao, who heard this, smiled slightly, and he turned his head to look at his son.
"I am an earth immortal, and he is a great yan..."
"I have two divine swords, Fuyao and Qingtian, but he only has a wooden stick in his hand..."
"Rao, he still fought against me for a whole day and a night..."
"Who do you think won?"
Yue Chengpeng, who had never heard of this, suddenly showed a look of horror on his face, but Yue Fuyao, who had said this, did not mean to understand his son's mood, and the light in his eyes suddenly became deeper.
He remembered the man who had fought against him outside Heaven Dou City for a long time and finally ran out.
He thought about his ragged clothes, his clumsy back, and his pale hair when he left.
He thought about what he had said as if he were whispering...
"Senior brother has been trapped for three hundred years..."
"The supreme true person of the Taiyin Palace has been trapped for six hundred years..."
"It's not the right path... You're not on the right path..."
"No one makes it to the end... No one..."
Thinking of this, Yue Fuyao raised his head again, he looked at the sky, and muttered to himself.
"And what about his path? Can he get to the end that we can't see?
