Chapter 3 Looking at the Head of the City
In the thirty-second year of Li Yulin's reign, the Henghuang City stood in the north of Great Xia as it had for hundreds of years, and the people were still busy shuttling through the streets and alleys.
Nothing seems to have happened.
But the smell of blood in this ancient city has not dissipated for a long time, and the eyes of those people are also filled with fear that cannot be eliminated.
In fact, something has already happened and is getting worse.
......
Outside the Henghuang City, in the Luoshui Pavilion, which was only thirty miles away from the Great Xia Kingdom, Miss Fang's dissatisfied exclamation resounded in the pavilion.
"Why are we with these two bastards?" I saw that Miss Fang stretched out her finger with an angry face, pointing at the two figures in front of her, and the disgust between her eyebrows was naturally unconcealed.
The two figures, an old man and a young man standing opposite Fang Ziyu, couldn't help but show embarrassment on their faces when they heard this.
This is not enough, Meng Liang, who was with Fang Ziyu, saw this, but regardless of the indiscriminate, the purple long sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and the majestic sword intent shrouded the two figures like a river and a sea.
Among them, the young man was shocked by his spear and looked at Meng Liang with a cold face, but the older man stretched out his hand to stop the young man.
Seeing this, Xu Han naturally couldn't let the two sides really fight, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the two of them: "The prince, the little prince have worked hard. ”
Xu Han stepped out, and Chu Qiuli on the side also hurriedly stepped forward to stop Fang Ziyu. And the two of them also softened their faces slightly, and they returned the salute to Xu Han one after another.
These two people are Li Moding and Li Dingxian, who had fought with Xu Han at the Longmen Conference.
Xu Han was just a lobbyist for the matter of envoying to the Great Zhou, but for Great Xia, if he wanted to show enough sincerity to the Great Zhou, it was naturally the best choice to send royal relatives, so Li Moding and his son became Xu Han's peers.
Fang Ziyu's temperament is like this, she naturally can't have too much good face for Li Moding's father and son, who had a lot of difficulties for Xu Han and others when they first came to Henghuang City, but under Xu Han's mediation, they finally put away their hostility and stood on one side angrily.
Although Xu Han resolved this fight, deep down he couldn't really have too much affection for the father and son, so after that, he ignored the two and stood alone beside Fang Ziyu and the others.
......
Li Moding was confused, or a little dissatisfied.
Great Xia is facing an unprecedented catastrophe, as one of the few princes of the Li family's royal family, he should stand at the head of the city like his royal brother, leading the army to kill the enemy.
And at this moment, he had to go to Da Zhou at the request of Li Yulin.
This sounds better, he is the envoy to the Great Zhou on behalf of Li Yulin, but to put it more freely, he is a hostage sent by Great Xia to the Great Zhou.
Whether it was Li Yulin's order or the embarrassing situation at the moment, Li Moding was a little embarrassed, but as a royal family, he had such an awareness early on, and his dissatisfaction was just that he could do more than this, or rather, he didn't like this situation where the two brothers were always put in the position of outsiders, just like before that, he didn't know anything about the gods.
"Who are we waiting for?" Miss Fang couldn't bear the silence after standing on the scene, and asked again.
Xu Han shook his head: "Hongzhi has some things to deal with, and she won't go with us, and she will find a way to keep up with us later." ”
"Oh. Fang Ziyu nodded, she had heard about such a thing early in the morning, although she had some doubts about it, but out of trust in Xu Han, she didn't think about it, but at this moment, seeing that Xu Han hadn't taken them on the road for a long time, she asked, "Who are we waiting for?"
When Xu Han heard this, he didn't respond to Fang Ziyu, but looked not far away with a calm brow, his eyes flickered, and after a while, he said, "He's here." ”
"Huh?" Everyone who heard this was stunned and looked up in the direction where Xu Han was looking.
But I saw that there, a young man in gray linen clothes was slowly walking towards here, the young man's face was silent, and his age was on par with Xu Han, faintly making everyone feel a little familiar.
It wasn't until after a few breaths that the young man walked in front of Xu Han and stood still.
The two looked at each other, and the light in Xu Han's eyes flashed.
He smiled and said, "You're here anyway." ”
The Mai boy looked Xu Han up and down, and then said with a gloomy face: "You'd better not lie to me." ”
The threat in the Mai boy's words was strong, and there was even more murderous intent surging between his eyebrows, but Xu Han, who heard this, not only did not show half a different color, but smiled even more.
"You're going to get the answers you want. He said.
And everyone also came back to their senses at this time, this Mai boy was Liu Sheng, who Xu Han rescued from Senluo Palace. Immediately, everyone said no more, and after checking the things they were carrying, they walked in the direction away from Henghuang City.
Only when Li Moding left, he looked back and took a deep look at the head of the Henghuang City, and his eyes were complicated...
......
At the head of the Imperial City, Li Moding looked here, and there were also people on the head of the city looking at him.
Ahmad didn't seem to want to go. Li Ru, who was dressed in a white robe, squinted his eyes and said.
"Over the years, Ahmad has done a lot of things for Great Xia, but he has a tendon in his brain, and he wants to be shrewd but can't do it, but his heart is always good. He had Great Xia hidden in his heart, so he was naturally reluctant to leave at this time. Li Yulin, who was dressed in some black, replied softly.
"Then you still want to drive him away?" Li Ru turned his head to look at Li Yulin and asked.
When Li Yulin heard this, he also looked at Li Ru at that time. Thirty years have not necessarily changed the appearance of the imperial brother, even the temples have given birth to hoarfrost, Li Yulin's heart has some emotion, he said: "Mu Ji of the Great Zhou, Meng Ke of Chen Guo, and the imperial brother in front of me, I think the same thing has happened or happened to the three of you..."
"The situation of Great Xia is more dangerous than the previous Zhou Chen, whether it is Shen Wushuang or the Dead Chu, it will not stop there, and no one dares to guarantee that we will survive this catastrophe alive. ”
"You and I have no children under our knees, although Ahmad's children are younger and more vigorous, but their temperament follows Ahmad, they are concerned about Daxia, and they are very smart, I think if there is really any accident, Daxia will not be leaderless after all. ”
Hearing this, Li Ru's face rarely showed a strange color, but he quickly returned to his original state.
He sighed and said sadly, "Looks like you know. ”
Li Yulin smiled when he heard this: "It's not difficult to know, I think that Master Munch should also be preparing for his aftermath at this moment..."
The different color on Li Ru's face was a little heavier, and he sighed again: "Xia Zhouchen has been playing for so many years, and in the end, he found out that he was just a chess piece in the hands of others, which is really ridiculous to think about..."
Li Yulin put away the smile on his face, he raised his head and looked at the sky, and the mighty dragon qi suddenly poured out from under his robe.
"My Great Xia Dynasty originally started from the grass, and when the ancestors were horsemen, they could compete with the emperor, and now you and I are dragons, and the sky... It's not a must!"
