Everything happened too suddenly, and when Zhao Shixiong arrived with people on a war horse, there were only pools of red blood on the sand, which looked shocking! The strong smell of blood filled the air, making people a little breathless.

Zhao Shixiong has always been guarding the gate in the northwest, because he knows that it is the closest to the Northern Desert Desert Road, and it is the most likely position to be raided by the stray soldiers, and as the leader of the ruins of the royal tomb, and as the leader of this group of soldiers, he must keep the most dangerous place for himself, so his team of personal guards and cavalry are also stationed in the northwest.

But Zhao Shixiong never thought that such a group of people and ghosts would emerge from this behemoth, which was completely unexpected by himself.

All the soldiers returned to the position of the northwest gate, Lu Li stood in the crowd with a little dull eyes, he had not recovered from the horror just now, he had not seen this kind of bloody picture in front of him, but such an abrupt and cruel death, Lu Li had indeed never encountered it, not only he had not encountered it, but all the soldiers, including Zhao Shixiong, had never seen such a cruel picture!

Zhao Shixiong dismounted and walked to those pools of blood, and his face, which had been tense, finally showed a trace of sadness. He just stood still, his eyes fixed on the sand, not saying a word.

The glow of the setting sun was now gone, and only a hint of blush could be seen at the very end of the sky. The cold wind blew the yellow sand on the ground again, and the blood stains were quickly covered.

Zhao Shixiong came to his senses at this time, he looked at the three blood-red horizontal lines at his feet, and suddenly raised his head and glanced at the secret passage on the wall of the ruins, where it was pitch black and silent.

After a long time, the sound of hurried horses' hooves broke the somewhat permeable silence, and when Lu Li looked up, he saw Li Chaonan wearing general armor and rushing here with nearly a thousand cavalry. This thousand horses are all white horses, and they are Li Chaonan's most important personal white horse righteous servants!

Lu Li glanced down at Li Sansan, who was still asleep, still palpitating.

Fortunately, he didn't die under the mouths of those people and ghosts today, otherwise, with Li Chaonan's temperament, what kind of broken royal tomb ruins were made out by the imperial court, but as long as Li Sansan was killed, then even the old woman in Luoyang Palace might not be happy.

Zhao Shixiong didn't seem to remember something until he saw the large group of white horsemen stop in front of his eyes, and glanced at everyone in the soldiers, and when he saw Li Sansan lying in the sand and falling asleep, he exhaled heavily!

Regardless of Zhao Shixiong or Lu Li, they all knew that no matter how much Li Chaonan was not optimistic about this son, and was willing to put him in the army as an equal guard.

But Li Sansan is still his own son after all, and he is the only last seedling who can pass on his ancestry!

"General!" Zhao Shixiong said in a hoarse voice, kneeling on the ground and saluting, at this moment he seemed to be several years old, and a few deep lines suddenly wrinkled on his weather-beaten face, Lu Li knelt on the ground and raised his head slightly, just seeing his demeanor, his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

This Zhao Ye, who has gone through many hardships and seen many lives and deaths, seems to be old.

"Get up. Li Chaonan did not dismount, his indifferent eyes swept over everyone, and finally saw Li Sansan who had fainted on the side of Lu Li.

"San'er was just scared and fainted, so it should be fine. Zhao Shixiong paused and continued: "However, the forty-eight guards at the Northeast Gate have been caught in the ruins by a group of things that don't know whether they are humans or ghosts, and there should be no chance of survival." Speaking of this, Zhao Shixiong's voice became deeper and deeper.

Li Chaonan didn't answer, just raised his head and looked at the closed door.

In the middle of the sound, he said lightly: "You all go back first, all the dead soldiers will be counted, and I will personally go to distribute the pension when I go back." ”

Zhao Shixiong wanted to speak and stopped, but finally gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Please give the general an order, let me bring someone into the royal tomb to see what is going on!"

In the final analysis, Zhao Shixiong doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, even if he didn't see such a terrifying scene at that time, but these dozens of people died for no reason, he can't feel at ease!

"This kind of thing, just leave it to the nine eunuchs of Qintian to do, and we don't want to make senseless sacrifices. Let's go back first, it's far from that simple. Li Chaonan finally glanced meaningfully at the three horizontal lines on the ground, and then took Li Sansan away.

Lu Li had many questions at this time, but he vaguely knew which words could be spoken and which words could never be said. He always had an illusion in his heart, as if Li Chaonan was not very surprised by such a thrilling killing, but more like he expected it.

But just as Lu Li originally thought in his heart, if Li Sansan really lost his life, then how huge the variables would be in this matter.

In fact, these are not things that Lu Li needs to study now, his mind is now full of those festering faces, he needs to talk to the indifferent swordsman, even if he risks losing his life, he has to ask about this matter.

At night, Lu Li dragged his steps back to the South Lane, and Zhao Shixiong instructed everyone that this matter should not be spread for the time being, otherwise it would definitely cause panic among the people of Loulan City.

The drowsy sky began to rain again, and Lu Li walked on the stone bridge, simply slowing down his steps. The cold rain was getting stronger, wetting his long hair.

Lu Li felt that since the Guanzhong army came, this day seemed to have completely changed, the little monk and the old Taoist priest seen in the red sleeve move, the woman in red and the woman in black armor who drank in the pile of tiles. And the old man with long braids whose head had been cut off by his own knife. These people and things that I may never see in my life seem to have been seen in the past few days, and I remember them very deeply.

I seem to have been inexplicably caught up in this secret battle before I had time to think.

Lu Li suddenly remembered his exaggerated expression and actions on the beacon observatory that day, maybe as Li Sansan said, he was eager in his heart, but what was he longing for.

His thoughts pulled back violently, because Lu Li suddenly felt that the raindrops on his head had dissipated, and he looked up sharply and saw the woman in red standing quietly in front of him, she was holding an umbrella with an indifferent expression.

Lu Li, who is also a loss, is not afraid of this kind of ghost or anything, if he changes to Li Sansan, the woman's makeup and expression will scare him half to death.

In fact, in a real sense, this is the first time that Lu Li and this woman with red sleeves have met head-on. After all, Lu Li was still surprised, since someone in the city already knew her identity, why didn't she escape from the city, at least she could save her life temporarily.

Lu Li couldn't figure it out, so he simply stood there silent, he knew that she would definitely speak first.

"That knife last night, is it the knife in your hand?" The woman in red stared at the saber on Lu Li's waist and spoke, her voice was very soft, and it seemed to be a little weak.

"Yes. Lu Li tried his best to stabilize his mentality, he knew that the woman in front of him should have no ill will towards him, but he still had palpitations, the kind of breath that emanated from the guqin last night, Lu Li still felt cold. In the final analysis, I am just a person who can't practice, and this gap is more like innate.

Lu Li looked at the knife in his hand before raising his head to look at the woman in red.

"Can you take me to meet the person in your room?" she said with a hint of pleading in her tone, staring at Lu Lidao with a frown.

Lu Li was shocked when he heard this, and then he was relieved, that almost mysterious knife was naturally not something he could make, as a woman in red who was also a cultivator, of course she knew better than herself.

The woman seemed to see Lu Li's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "You don't have to worry, I have no ill intentions, I just want to see him, after all, the little woman has to thank him for saving his life." She paused, then continued, "By the way, my name is Su Jiu. You should already know my name and who I am on the surface. Although I know who you are, I still want to thank you. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I'll expose the matter?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows, and after finishing speaking, he realized that this question was actually a bit silly, but he still couldn't understand why he was still here since he knew his identity.

"You won't, because you're not like them. The woman finally stood still, and the pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes were wide open, and the eyes were very clear.

"If I say that I haven't actually said a word to him, do you believe it or not?" Lu Li explained truthfully, his face a little embarrassed.

Even if she seems to have been determined by her, the fact now is that she really hasn't spoken to him yet, so maybe the two of them will fall to the ground as soon as they enter.

The woman in red obviously didn't believe it, frowned again, and didn't answer.

"Really, I only knew him a day before I met you. Lu Li was helpless, he really didn't do anything, and he told the truth, don't frown at every turn, it's weird to be afraid.

"Then go back first, I'm in the room next to here, you can help me ask, if he wants to see me, I will thank you." The woman in red bowed her head and walked into a dilapidated house.

The rain hasn't stopped, and it seems that there is still a bit of momentum going down.

Lu Li looked back at her back, still silent. He couldn't guess the mind of the woman in red, and naturally he wouldn't know how important the meaning of that shocking knife was.

Lu Li lowered his head and was drenched in the rain, stepping on the stone bridge step by step. He walked slowly, and the rain began to fall more heavily. He was still as apprehensive as he had been when he had seen the swordsman for the first time.

Heavy rain.

Lu Li still didn't look up, he knew that there was a distance of nearly ten steps from the stone slab bridge to the door of the house, and if the steps were big, it might not be ten steps.

So he raised his foot and was about to take the first step, but suddenly felt an invisible gravitational force that made him unable to lift his legs. The rain flowers hit the stone slab laid by Old Man Xu himself, the moss on both sides of the stone slab was smooth, and the rain flowers splashed up again and hit his feet.

As soon as Lu Li's legs were lifted a little, they were crushed to the ground by this cluster of rain flowers. He was startled by a tingling sensation that he had never felt before.

Lu Li subconsciously raised his head, and there was only a mist in his sight. He gently lifted his foot and took a step back, very relaxed. So he lifted up his feet again.

Let's go!

It seemed that in front of his eyes, all the rain weighed 10,000 catties, and the leg that had just been hung was violently beaten down.

Lu Li finally came to his senses and began to stand still. The tingling sensation in his feet had not yet dissipated, and he kept adjusting his breathing, and the rain dripped through the tips of his hair and onto his slightly resolute face.

Ten breaths later.

Lu Li raised his leg fiercely, and his knee pushed forward like a sharp sword, but before he could bring his back heels up, the huge pressure made him pause. It was enough to take a big step, but it turned into a half-step.

Lu Li gasped and felt the pain coming from his legs, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.

The tingling sensation continued to superimpose, but Lu Li suddenly felt a slightly burning pain.

The autumn rain was cool, and the noise in the alleys was getting quieter.

It's ten breaths again.

Lu Li's back foot was a little sharp, almost a posture of rushing forward, and his whole body suddenly leaned forward.

Another half-step. Lu Likankan stabilized his body and almost fell.

And just as he was about to take another step, he suddenly felt that all the sound of the rain had disappeared. The only touch is the clusters of raindrops that keep falling from the sky.

Just like last night in the house, he watched the knife man silently drink after cup.

Lu Li simply closed his eyes, feeling the two completely different touches on his body and legs, and his breathing began to slowly become stable.

The woman in red named Su Jiu walked out of a dilapidated house at this time. She held an oil-paper umbrella and looked at Lu Li's back as she paused and walked slowly, stunned.

Halfway, her peach blossom eyes narrowed and smiled slightly.

Every time Lu Li took half a step, the pressure increased by one point, and the time for each pause was doubled.

This journey, which was only ten steps away, seemed to have walked in the silent rain for an infinite time.

Until he had taken the last half step and walked to the door.

Heavy rain stopped.

Lu Li trembled, as if he had used the last bit of strength to raise his head, blood continued to ooze from his mouth, but a trace of a smile suddenly appeared on his miserable white face, and he fell straight to the ground.

In front of him was a wooden door that had been renovated.
