Part 1 Ning Zhen Zhuan Yuan Chapter 70 Linjiao Pass
The two major mountain ranges of Shenlong Mountain in Middle Earth and Xueyu Mountain in the North Plains meet at Linjiao Pass, and the mountains stretch from the north and southeast sides, just like two forked big horns, hence the name of the pass. Surrounded by steep cliffs, deep ravines and valleys, heavy mountains and mountains, majestic and majestic, it is the most dangerous pass in the northwest of the Great Xia Empire.
Li Bo and Ri Yunxiu set off early the next morning, and after three hours of flight, they were almost at Guanxia, and in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, they landed in the woods below. After a while, he generally recovered his true qi, and prepared to enter the customs first to see his father Tian Yudao and show him the intercepted letters.
Li Bo had already experienced the tragedy of war twice on the way, and he was deeply disgusted by the cruelty of the Rosang people, and decided to help as much as he could.
As soon as the two of them came out of the woods, they were met by a group of five or six cavalrymen galloping in the dust, all wearing red and blue uniforms, undoubtedly the patrol force of Luo Sangguo.
"Stop!" the other party immediately spotted them, turned and ran, and whizzed with their bows and arrows.
Li Bo was furious, this group of people didn't ask, and they killed people when they saw them, which was simply unreasonable. Flying up, the magic sword was unsheathed, and the arrows were unsheathed, and the red light slashed in succession. The front row of cavalrymen had just opened their mouths and their heads were cut off, and the few behind were cut off their horses because it was too late to escape.
"The clouds are gone!"
Li Bo used the Xingyun Sword trick to slash flat, and the last enemy's body was disconnected from his chest, his upper body fell into the mud, and the bloody arrows were gushing into the sky like a fountain, and his feet were still on his horse, and the scene was extremely bloody.
Ri Yunxiu glanced at the severed limbs and said, "Brother Tian Shu, you have changed a lot. β
"Oh, is it?" Li Bo wiped his sword on the collar of an enemy and inserted it back into its sheath.
"I remember when we first met each other, you tried your best to stop me from killing, but now you are better than me. β
What she said immediately touched the depths of Li Bo's heart.
That's right! What's wrong with me? More than two months ago, I was just an ordinary high school student, and I went all out to fight for the college entrance examination, but now, I have become an executioner who kills people without blinking! Since my skill was raised to the first level of Ning Dan, that is, for a while, I have been killing almost every day, although I have killed all the brutal Luosang people, but they are also people! What is even more terrifying and incomprehensible is that after killing people, I actually do not feel guilty and panic at all, and even vaguely like it, and I feel very cool.
Li Bo looked at the bloody corpses all over the ground, his eyes turned red, his eyes were dizzy, his hands held his head and swayed, and the magic sword fell to the ground, "Xiu'er, how did I become like this? Could it be that I was affected by the space-time dimension of this world?"
"It's not. Ri Yunxiu shook her head firmly, pointed to the magic sword under her feet and said, "It's it." β
"It?"
"Well, Daddy said that the magic sword affects the wielder all the time, giving you great power while also eroding your mind and depriving you of the best in human nature. She walked over and grabbed Li Bo's hand, pinched it and clenched it, "Actually, when I was very young, my father was also very good, very upright, and never liked to kill, but then the changes became bigger and bigger, and there were more and more enemies, and finally ...... Alas!"
The bloody eyes on the magic sword were glowing, as if they had heard a conversation between the two. Li Bo squatted down and looked at it, "Xiu'er, then do you know how to get rid of it?"
"It's impossible to get rid of? Unless ......"
"What?"
"Unless the sword is abandoned. Brother Tian Shu, can you still throw it away now?"
Can I still throw it away?" Li Bo thought to himself. Maybe, but I'm veryβI don't want to.
Once a person has tasted a certain refreshing taste, he never wants to give up, and he never wants to go back to the past.
Kill with a sword, invincible, heroic and dry, and dripping with anhydride.
Cutting through flesh and bones, power poured out from the depths of the soul, filling the body, flowing through every capillary vein, permeating every cell.
This feeling, this taste, is incomparable.
Everyone in the world is chasing fame and fortune, trying to climb to high places, and that's nothing more than that.
High in the sky, holding authority, above the world, looking down on all beings.
Once a person has tasted this taste, he never wants to give up, he never wants to go back to the past.
"I don't know, Xiu'er. It's just that I promised to boil the stone and help him unlock the secret of the magic sword, and the man must not break his word. Besides, I'm going to use it to teleport. After Li Bo finished speaking, he didn't even know if he was deceiving himself.
"Brother Tian Shu, I suddenly felt so scared. β
"Are you afraid that I will become like your father in the end and be killed? Don't forget that he is the best in the world! What am I?" Li Bo smiled and picked up the magic sword, "Don't worry, when my skills are improved a little more, when I reach the meaning of the will, or Yaoguang, I will go back to Muyunguan to find boiled stones, they are all good people, and they said they would help me." Well, that's it. β
"Well, I'll always be by your side anyway, protecting you. β
"Oh, then I'll thank you first, Senior Sister. β
"Hehe, Brother Tian Shu, let's enter the customs, it's not far away. β
"No, I can't go to my father empty-handed, I have to give him a big gift. β
"What?"
"I had a great idea. β
---------------------------------------------------------------------
An hour later, Li Bo and Ri Yunxiu infiltrated the Luosang State military camp twenty miles northeast of Linjiao Pass. It was an idea that he had come up with on a temporary spur of the moment, and with the cover of night and his elusive teleportation ability, he could easily get it.
At about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the enemy had just eaten, the smoke curled up, the air occasionally wafted with the smell of meat, and the campfire was dense, like stars scattered on the ground, stretching for several miles, and it was evident that there were so many people.
Li Bo's purpose is to find the enemy commander Qinghengshan and carry out an assassination and beheading operation, if successful, the enemy army will inevitably be chaotic, and the crisis at Linjiao Pass will be naturally resolved. This is a generous gift to his father, Tian Yudao.
I thought that the commander's tent must be tall and magnificent, but after turning around, all the tents were all black, and there was no difference from the outside.
"Xiu'er, what should I do?"
"Ask someone. β
"Hmm. β
Time is of the essence, and there is only one adventure. The two of them stepped on the periphery to hide, and waited in the cold wind for more than ten minutes before they saw a lone soldier humming and singing love songs, and the spear was thrust into the ground, unbuttoning his pants, and urinating in the direction of the two.
"Indecent!" Ri Yunxiu scolded lightly and turned her head away.
Li Bo had already jumped out and made a move, and pressed the hilt of his sword against the back of the man's heart, "Don't make a sound, or I will kill you." β
The soldier was half urinating, and the "water pipe" immediately stopped the flow, raised his hand tremblingly, and his pants fell to the ground with a thud, "Rao, spare your life!"
"Where is your boss's camp?" Li Bo went straight to the point, and secretly felt in his heart that it seemed a bit detrimental to doing so.
"Boss?"
"It's Qingheng Mountain. β
"I don't know. β
"I don't know, you put on your pants first. Li Bo drew his sword and pressed it to his neck.
"Hero, I don't know if you kill me! In order to guard against assassins, our master Ma changed places to sleep every night, and no one knew where he was except for a few close henchmen. The soldier knelt on his knees and pleaded, tears streaming down his face.
Li Bo beckoned Ri Yunxiu over, "He said he didn't know, what should I do?"
Ri Yunxiu was angry that the soldier was rude just now, and punched him in the heart.
The soldier immediately bent into the shape of a shrimp, and was about to scream in pain, but was covered by Li Bo again.
Ri Yunxiu raised his hand and gestured on his neck, the meaning was obvious - let Li Bo kill him.
Li Bo trembled in his heart, suppressed the impulse, and knocked him down with a palm, "Xiu'er, ask someone else again." β
"Why don't you kill?"
"This, God has the virtue of a good life, killing is against the principles of heaven, I can't let the magic sword control my soul. β
"But what if he wakes up?"
"I ordered his sleeping hole, at least two hours, let's get it done. β
The two quietly advanced to the inside of the barracks, and asked four or five people in a row, all of them in the same voice, saying that Qing Hengshan often changed his residence, and no one knew.
Grass! Li Bo's heart became anxious. How can this guy be so cunning!
Ri Yunxiu suddenly pulled his cuffs, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Tian Shu, you really want to kill that, the enemy boss? There are so many people around, there must be powerful subordinates, how can we escape?"
"It doesn't have to be killed. Li Bo was very uncomfortable when he heard the word "kill" now, "It's better to capture him alive, we can take him hostage, but this person is so cautious, it must not be easy." β
"I seem to have seen him just now. β
"Do you see?Qing Hengshan?" Li Bo couldn't help but wonder when he saw Ri Yunxiu's eyes flickering.
"You can't be wrong, follow me. β
Li Bo followed her and walked back, and after walking twenty or thirty meters, she pointed to the tent next to her and nodded.
Li Bo approached to investigate suspiciously, only to hear a voice inside: "What's the matter, Fourth Prince, the wine and food are not appetizing?"
Another humanitarian: "Wine is good wine, and food is good food, but this king is now a prisoner, and his life hangs in the hands of the king, even if it is golden wave jade liquid, dragon liver and phoenix pith, it tastes the same as chewing wax." β
The man before smiled and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry, Ben Shuai invited you here this time because he has something to ask for, and he has no intention of harming him." β
Li Bo's true qi moved, gathered his right index finger, and gently cut a thin slit three or four inches long on the tent. The candles in the middle are flickering, and there are two people at a table, sitting opposite each other.
Ri Yunxiu leaned over and pointed to the left, and whispered: "The thin one is Qinghengshan." β
Li Bo nodded and said, "The other one who wears a dragon robe is the fourth prince Luoqiao, and he was really caught here by Qingheng Mountain." β
Luo Qiao was silent for a long time before he spoke: "General Qing has something to order, but if it damages the majesty of my Great Xia or harms my people, even if he kills me, this king will definitely not do it." β
"Okay!" Qing Hengshan clapped his hands and praised, got up and said: "The prince is high and bright, which is admirable. β
Luo Qiao also stood up, "What the hell is going on?"
"This is good for you and me. The prince doesn't have to be anxious, he will know later. β
Seeing that Qing Hengshan turned around to leave, Li Bo immediately touched his waist with his right hand, pulled out the magic sword, rushed into the capture, and just stepped into the military tent, he suddenly realized that the situation was wrong.
