Chapter 869: Dead
Thinking of Xia Fan, Liu Xingchen was even more angry.
When Xia Fan left, in order to ensure that he was killed, Liu Xingchen specially ordered Liu Jixiang to send Long Fei, another hidden dragon general second only to Long Teng in the Hidden Dragon Guard, and also asked him to bring a lot of helpers. Originally, Liu Xingchen thought that this was a sure thing after all, and he would soon be able to see Xia Fan's head, which could be regarded as the icing on the cake for his enthronement ceremony.
But what Liu Xingchen never expected was that this operation to kill Xia Fan had gone wrong from the beginning. First of all, although Xia Fan left in a grand manner, he did not hide his traces, but because his current strength is very strong, and his flying speed is too fast, so that the hidden dragon guard who was ordered to kill Xia Fan was directly dumped except for Long Fei.
Of course, these backward Hidden Dragon Guards didn't dare to run back like this to recover their lives, so they chased all the way along with the unique marks of the Hidden Dragon Guards left by Long Fei, who was chasing Xia Fan.
Originally, these people were not strong and did not perform well, Liu Xingchen was a little unhappy, but seeing that their attitude was quite serious, he decided not to investigate their incompetence afterwards. But what happened next made Liu Xingchen depressed and wanted to vomit blood.
Because these Hidden Dragon Guards encountered all kinds of situations when they pursued later, some of them were like accidental accidents, caused by bad luck, and some were simply subjected to the enemy's fierce sniping, although the battle lasted for a short time, but the battle was extremely fierce, and the opponent's combat power was also quite strong, so that the losses of the Hidden Dragon Guard were also quite heavy.
After experiencing such a series of situations for no reason and for a reason, the hidden dragon guards of Xia Fan, who had originally set off with Long Fei to pursue, had already lost nearly thirty percent of their territory before they left the territory of the Han Dynasty.
Such casualties were already quite high for the Hidden Dragonguard, and the number of dead among them exceeded two thousand. After seeing this piece of information at that time, even Liu Xingchen, who was used to being the emperor and was extremely indifferent, felt distressed. After all, the Qianlong Guard is not an ordinary army, nor is it a so-called elite army in the general sense, they are originally the elite of the elite, and they are also the strongest force in his hands, even the worst people are cultivators, and they can be a general and lead a war in any army outside.
But now because of chasing and killing Xia Fan, more than 2,000 people have died so inexplicably, how can Liu Xingchen accept it, how can he not feel distressed.
If these people all died fighting while besieging Xia Fan, then even if Liu Xingchen was sorry and distressed, he would at least feel that they had died, and at the same time, he would also feel that he was right to make up his mind to kill Xia Fan. But in fact, these people only died when they encountered various emergencies and unknown enemies on the way to catch up with Xia Fan, which really made Liu Xingchen feel that they were worthless when they died.
What really annoyed and angry Liu Xingchen was that this was just the beginning.
Since he didn't give the order for these dragon guards to withdraw, they still followed the traces left by Long Fei and chased them all the way.
You must know that Xia Fan was chased by Long Fei all the way, and ran millions of miles in nearly four days. Although these millions of miles are not a straight line distance, it is more of a tortuous and roundabout road, but for the Qianlong Guard chasing behind, it is definitely the beginning of a disaster.
Because in the process of continuous pursuit, they began to encounter unprecedented attacks and robberies, which were far more tragic and dangerous than the attacks they encountered when they were in the territory of the Han Dynasty. This also caused the number of their casualties to skyrocket.
Although at that time, they kept passing the information back and presenting it to Liu Xingchen. But at that time, Liu Xingchen was really a little dissatisfied with their performance, plus he was about to ascend the throne as emperor, there were always some things to do, some people to meet, and there was no leisure time to pay attention to their information. At that time, Liu Xingchen still had a faint confidence in his heart, feeling that the Qianlong Guard was the strongest force in his hands after all, and he could completely dominate the world, and most of the information they handed over was some good news, and it didn't matter if he watched it or not.
It wasn't until today, when Liu Xingchen picked up this information and looked at it, he found that in addition to writing about how many enemies he had killed, it was more about what kind of battles he had experienced and how many people had died on his side.
And by checking the intelligence for a few days, Liu Xingchen found that the number of casualties in the Qianlong Guard was increasing, and the strength of the people who died was getting stronger and stronger.
"Liu Jixiang, where is this Qianlong Guard sent to hunt down Xia Fan at this time? How many people are there?" Liu Xingchen looked at the information in his hand and found that the last letter was submitted yesterday, that is, on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, and asked casually.
"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids don't know where they are now, and how many people are left. Liu Jixiang lowered his head and said: "Since the fight last night, the slave maid has never received the return of the eyeliner planted in them, according to the report received by the slave and maid before, they seem to have encountered a very strong enemy siege, the battle is very fierce, there is no time to report carefully, and then there is no news." ”
"Could it be that the whole army will be wiped out?! No, it's impossible, the Hidden Dragon Guard is a sharp sword in my hand, and he has always been brave and good at fighting, and he can easily destroy a small country by gathering 10,000 people, there is no reason why it will be destroyed so easily. Liu Xingchen had a bad premonition in his heart, but he was immediately denied by himself, and then he asked: "What about Long Fei's side? He is a great general of the hidden dragon, and he is also a strong man in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm, chasing and killing a mere Xia Fan, and he has not been able to kill him for three or four days in a row, what is he doing to eat, and what is the use of him?"
Although Liu Xingchen didn't want to get angry, but thinking that Long Fei couldn't kill Xia Fan for a long time, and at the same time, there was no news of a hidden dragon guard, Liu Xingchen's heart suddenly burst into an evil fire, and he couldn't help but roar angrily.
In an instant, a powerful and domineering coercion suddenly burst out from Liu Xingchen's body, sweeping around like a twelve-level hurricane.
Rays of light rose from the hall, protecting the walls, floors, and pillars on the roof, so that they were not damaged by Liu Xingchen's coercion, but other things in the hall, such as books, coffee tables and various furnishings, were all shattered into powder under the impact of coercion. The two little eunuchs standing in the corner of the hall who were out of service at any time were even swept away by coercion, and they turned into two clouds of blood mist before they even had time to scream.
It was Liu Jixiang, although he was the closest to Liu Xingchen, and he could be said to be the first to bear the brunt, but he was not injured, but he was shocked and slid backwards, and then stabilized his body, still looking deferential and even sincerely afraid.
"Your Majesty, please allow the slave maid to say something for Long Fei. Liu Jixiang said.
"Speak. Liu Xingchen was furious, and he calmed down a lot at this time, but his eyes were still full of ferocity.
"Although Xia Fan's strength is not particularly strong, he is only a half-step grandmaster, but his cunning and insidious are far better than ordinary people, if it weren't for this, he would not have been able to control the entire situation with the power of one person during the battle of the three sects and four sects, and even the strong Lianpeng Ancestor in the late stage of the Grandmaster Realm can be said to have died indirectly under his hands. Because of this, the emperor deliberately sent two groups of people to strangle him, and although Long Fei's strength was not weak, he still had a feeling of being alone when dealing with Xia Fan after all. Liu Jixiang said his thoughts in a calm voice.
"Liu Jixiang, what benefits did you old man take from him, and even excuse him again and again?" Liu Xingchen pointed at Liu Jixiang and scolded with a smile, and then his face suddenly became gloomy, and said: "Xia Fan is treacherous, of course I know, so I sent him out, but this is not an excuse for him to be unable to kill Xia Fan for a long time." ”
"The emperor is clear, the slave and maid have never taken his filial piety, and what he said just now is all from the bottom of his heart. Liu Jixiang hurriedly made up a sentence.
"Okay, I'm just talking casually, but I'll ask you, when will Long Fei kill Xia Fan?" At this time, although Liu Xingchen was not violent, his calm words were already full of toughness that could not be refused.
"According to the slave maid, tonight should be able to have a result in the first place. Liu Jixiang said respectfully, but he didn't say it all. Because what he said was that there would be results, but it was not that Long Fei would definitely be able to kill Xia Fan. has really experienced so many things, Liu Jixiang also feels that Xia Fan is too difficult, and it is really difficult to predict who wins and who loses. He even vaguely guessed that the interceptions and attacks encountered by those hidden dragon guards were related to Xia Fan nine times out of ten, and even he was secretly instigating.
Before the words of "Ding ......" fell, Liu Jixiang's face changed suddenly, especially when he took out a string of small bells that had been in his sleeve, and saw that a bell hanging below had been broken, and it was even more difficult for an old face to see the extreme, like a mourner.
"What's going on?" Liu Xingchen asked with a frown when he saw this.
"Back to the emperor, Long Fei him...... He's dead!" Speaking of this, Liu Jixiang was already kneeling in front of Liu Xingchen, and at the same time held the string of bells in his hand high and said: "These bells are the soul bells of the strong people at the level of the Qianlong General in the Hidden Dragon Guard, and there is a wisp of my soul on them, if I die, this soul bell will be shattered, and now Long Fei's soul bell is broken......"
"Xia Fan killed him?!How is this possible?!" Liu Xingchen looked at the soul bell in Liu Jixiang's hand that had been broken into several petals, and he could vaguely see Long Fei's name engraved on it, and of course he understood what it meant, but he really couldn't believe that it was true! A mere Xia Fan, even if he was a half-step grandmaster, even if he was cunning and abnormal, but there was no reason for him to be able to kill Long Fei in the early stage of the grandmaster realm.
At the level of the Grandmaster Realm, the strength is strong enough to easily crush all the conspiracies and tricks, and if you want to kill them, you can only rely on your strong strength. It is absolutely wishful thinking to kill them through the so-called little tricks and tricks. This is also the most direct reason why Liu Xingchen was very angry that Long Fei had not succeeded for a long time, but he did not doubt that he could kill Xia Fan.
But now that Long Fei is dead, the biggest possibility is that Xia Fan killed him. But Liu Xingchen was puzzled, how did Xia Fan do it?
"Could it be that he deceived everyone, he is not just a half-step grandmaster, but a powerhouse in the grandmaster realm? But how is this possible? He is so young, becoming a half-step grandmaster is already shocking, if he steps into the grandmaster realm, this is simply incredible!" Liu Xingchen's brows furrowed into a pimple, and the thoughts in his heart were flying, but he couldn't figure it out.
