Chapter 687: Momentary Benevolence
"What's going on?"
Sneaking into Dingbei Town quietly, Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang saw from a distance that the Border Guard Mansion was surrounded by dense sergeants. Suddenly, the Border Guard Mansion became noisy, and the sound of fighting and roaring resounded in the night sky of Dingbei Town.
"Kill Lu Yifan, don't let him escape!"
"The general has an order, and Liu Tang, a traitor, doesn't have to be kept, and he will kill him together. ”
"Shoot the arrows!"
......
Roars came out intermittently from the Border Guard Mansion, and after hearing these words, Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang's faces changed in fright, Liu Jitang asked Liu Zitang blankly, and said, "When did Dad become a traitor? And is the Lu Yifan they said the deposed Emperor of the Holy Domain?"
"Lu Yifan?" Liu Zitang is too familiar with the name Lu Yifan, in her ignorant girl's heart, Lu Yifan has always been the hero she admires and has a crush. Of course, it all stopped when she met "Hades".
"Sister, let's go quickly!" Liu Jitang said without waiting for Liu Zitang to react, and dragged her back again and again, "Someone is coming." Sure enough, the moment they retreated into the inner alley, hundreds of furious sergeants galloped through the streets on fast horses and headed straight for the chaotic border guards' mansion.
"Brother, what should we do? What the hell is going on?" Liu Zitang wanted to follow Liu Tang to find Lu Yifan's whereabouts, but he didn't expect to encounter such a chaotic scene after following him all the way to Dingbei Town. Liu Jitang's performance at the moment was quite calm, he squatted in the corner and cautiously glanced at the crowded border guard mansion, and then turned his head and said: "Sister, I suddenly have an extremely ridiculous idea, do you want to hear it?"
"What ridiculous idea?" Liu Zitang was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.
"I think the person we saved half a year ago ......" Liu Jitang looked at Liu Zitang with an innocent face with complicated eyes, and hesitated again and again before he slowly spoke, "It's Lu Yifan......"
"You mean Brother Tian?" Liu Zitang stared back at Liu Jitang with a pair of frightened eyes, and said incoherently, "Brother, what are you talking about?" Brother Tian's name is Shen Tian'er, not Lu Yi'......."
Without waiting for Liu Zitang to finish speaking, Liu Jitang suddenly took out a crumpled wanted notice from his arms, and slowly unfolded it in front of Liu Zitang, the portrait on the notice under the moonlight was clearly presented in front of Liu Zitang's eyes, although it was very wrinkled, Liu Zitang could clearly identify the person in the painting as the "Brother Tian" she kept saying. Looking at Liu Zitang, whose eyes trembled and didn't know how to answer, Liu Jitang sighed: "I stole this notice from Liu Er last night, and I was startled when I saw it for the first time, and my first thought was to sigh that there are people in the world who look so similar, but then I thought of my father and Liu Er's reaction when they first met Ming Tian's child, plus I had shot at him before, and his body was even faster than ever." And when the old man Chang Xu came this morning, sister, you should think about it, Chang Xu is the governor of Northern Xinjiang, not to mention that he is the most powerful in Northern Xinjiang, even if it is placed in the entire holy area, he is also the feudal official of His Majesty the Emperor, and the world has to respect him for three points, but after he went in and saw Shen Tian'er, he didn't say anything and just left, is this reasonable? Today he lost such a big person in front of the villagers of Shijia Village, Chang Xu, the old man, actually endured it like this? What kind of character is this Shentian'er who can make the governor of Northern Xinjiang swallow his anger after suffering such a great humiliation? And when we rescued him, it happened to be when Lu Yifan disappeared in Northern Xinjiang, is there really such a coincidence in the world? At this moment, coupled with such a farce in the Border Guard Mansion, I doubt my speculation more and more...... It's Lu Yifan!" In the end, Liu Jitang himself was frightened by his words, and his back was chilled.
Liu Zitang listened to Liu Jitang's words in his ears, looked at Lu Yifan in the portrait with a foolish look in his eyes, and after being silent for a long time, two lines of tears finally slipped down from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably. Liu Zitang stretched out his hand and gently traced the outline of the portrait, and said with a smile: "Brother Tian, are you really Lu Yifan? Didn't you say that you would not lie to me? Didn't you say that you were a dark child?"
"Sister, don't be like this, now they must regard their father as a traitor who shielded Lu Yifan, I think these people are menacing, I'm afraid that eighty percent of them are coming at my father and Lu Yifan. Liu Jitang reassured in a low voice, "Sister, no matter what, I can't watch my father in danger, I have to save him......"
"Brother!" At the moment when Liu Jitang was about to get up and rush out, Liu Zitang suddenly reached out and grabbed him, Liu Zitang said with a complicated look, "Did you save him?"
Liu Jitang knew that his sister had always had a grudge against Liu Tang, but at this moment, it was a matter of Liu Tang's life and death, how could he rely on Liu Zitang's temperament?
......
In the Border Guard Mansion, at the moment when Cheng Yi gave the order, the archers around the inner courtyard were working together, and in an instant, thousands of arrows were fired to cover the sky and the sun, Liu Tang and Chang Xu, who were wailing, were instantly pierced into blood hedgehogs by sharp arrows, and Lu Yifan disappeared from everyone's sight strangely.
"Dudu, Uncle Tang......" The pale-faced Liu Er watched Chang Xu and Liu Tang die tragically, and suddenly trembled with fright, he used his strength to squeeze back, but Cheng Yi, who was standing behind him, glanced at him with great disdain, and then suddenly raised his foot and kicked Liu Er, who was caught off guard, into the courtyard where arrows rained down, Liu Er's pig-like scream just shouted, and one by one sharp arrows were "poof" The ground shot into Liu Er's body, and the blood mixed with the urine he was scared out flowed down the trouser tube, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Er was already lying in a pool of blood and never moved again.
"Send Lu Yifan now, even if I dig three feet into the ground for the Border Guard Mansion, I have to find him out for me!" Cheng Yi looked coldly at Liu Tang and the three of them, who couldn't die anymore, and said in a cold tone, "Go and arrest all the subordinates of the Border Guard Mansion, and interrogate them one by one to see who knows where the teleportation array is!"
"Yes!" After Leng Wu and the others received the order, they immediately arranged their respective subordinates and quickly searched for different places in the Border Guard Mansion.
Cheng Yi stood in the inner courtyard accompanied by more than a dozen personal soldiers, stepping on the blood and water all over the ground and walking towards the bodies of Liu Tang and the three of them step by step. He stepped on Liu Tang's head, raised his head sharply and shouted at the night sky: "Lu Yifan, do you treat your life-saving benefactor like this? I didn't care about them when I watched them die tragically one by one? For Cheng Yi's scolding, there was always silence in the inner courtyard, and there was no response at all. Cheng Yi couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and shouted again: "Lu Yifan, didn't you just say that my people can't help you? In that case, why do you want to hide? Why don't you show up and fight to the death with us? Wouldn't it be a pleasure if you could kill all the 20,000 troops I brought with me alone? I know that you won't leave the Border Guard Mansion, and you still want to use the teleportation array of the Border Guard Mansion to return to Jinling City, don't you? Show up! Let me also see how the once influential figure of the Holy Soul Academy has now become a gutless rat with his head and tail hidden? Haha...... As soon as Cheng Yi said this, the soldiers beside him burst into laughter.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a sergeant rushed to Cheng Yi's side and knelt down, and arched his hand: "General Yu, there is a group of sect people outside who want to come in to help the general." The one at the head is a disciple of Xuanzong, and it seems to be called ...... Xuanfang. ”
"What helped me, it was clearly that I wanted to come in and steal the credit. Cheng Yi said coldly, "Does General Ben still need the help of these people with a large army?"
"That'...... Shall I coax them away?" asked the sergeant tentatively.
"Wait a minute. Cheng Yi's originally disgusted eyes changed suddenly, so the corners of his mouth raised a playful smile, and said, "Go and invite them all in!"
Watching the sergeant go down to pass on his orders, Cheng Yi suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Lu Yifan, do you hear it? There is a group of sect disciples outside who are also waiting to kill you and get a piece of the pie." Do you remember where you and I come from? We are both members of the Holy Soul Academy, and the Academy and the Sect have always been opposing factions. Don't say tonight that I don't miss my classmates, now I've decided to give you a chance to get out of the way. After a while, the group of self-righteous sect disciples outside will come in, ten will be counted as ten, and one hundred will be counted as one hundred, I will arrange for you to fight with them, if you can kill them all, I will no longer embarrass you tonight, and let you go back to Jinling City. How about it? In this way, you can win a chance to get out of the way, and secondly, you can raise your eyebrows for the people of my academy and teach them a good lesson. You should know very well that if my 20,000 troops gather in the Border Guard's Mansion to search for the sky, then even if you find the teleportation array, you will not have a chance to escape. Lu Yifan, what do you think of my proposal?"
"Not very good. ”
Just as Cheng Yi's words fell, Lu Yifan's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, startling Cheng Yi to draw his sword and turn around in an instant, and the surrounding soldiers also aimed their swords at the direction where the voice came from just now. But when all of them stared intently at the courtyard gate behind them, Cheng Yi's neck suddenly felt a piercing coldness, and he didn't need to ask Cheng Yi to know that he must have fallen for Lu Yifan again this time.
Sure enough, when Cheng Yi and the other soldiers reacted, Lu Yifan was already standing behind Cheng Yi quietly, and the Shenyuan Sword in his hand was still tightly attached to Cheng Yi's throat.
"Do you think I didn't show up because I was afraid of your 20,000 army?" Lu Yifan stood behind Cheng Yi, leaned over Cheng Yi's ear, and said in a cold and terrifying tone, "I just don't want to kill innocents in vain, although the 20,000 army is for your use tonight, but each of them is flesh and blood raised by their mother's father, and their worthless lives are priceless to your family." If you really have the courage to fight me to the death, why do you have to pull them on your back? ”
Cheng Yi was not embarrassed when he heard Lu Yifan's words, his face was blue and purple for a while, but now that his own soldiers were standing by and watching this scene, how could he admit it? ”
"Cheng Yi, why do you have to pretend in front of me?" Lu Yifan smiled disdainfully, "You are always so insincere when you speak like when you were in the academy. You obviously know that Mo said that with my ability, even any Soul King can easily get out under the nose of your 20,000 troops, why do you say such jokes to bluff me?"
"Then you will kill me!" Cheng Yi said stubbornly, "Anyway, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 lives in your hands, and I don't have any more." ”
"I was wrong. Lu Yifan shook his head and said, "You are still a little different from before, the most different thing is that your heart is more ruthless than when you were in the academy." I originally thought that your target was just me, and if I disappeared, you would let Liu Tang and the three of them go, but I never expected that you would still kill them with arrows when you saw that I had fled. The three of them are from the government, and one of them is also the governor of Northern Xinjiang, I think how you will explain this matter to the emperor in the future. ”
"Explain?" Cheng Yi sneered, "With you Lu Yifan in the place, do you still need me to explain anything?"
"You want to learn from Su Xie's practice of counting Feng Chenghuang's death on my head, and also push the death of the three of them on me. Lu Yifan looked understanding, nodded slowly, and said, "Your heart is not only ruthless, but also poisonous." ”
Cheng Yi's face turned red when he was reprimanded by Lu Yifan, and he snorted impatiently: "Then what are you hesitating about? Why don't you kill me now?" Without waiting for Lu Yifan to answer, Cheng Yi pretended to sneer and suddenly realized, "Oh, I know, you want to use me to help you escape from the northern frontier, are you? Lu Yifan, you are wrong, even if I am willing to let you go today, those sect disciples who will come later will definitely not let you go, even if you want to blackmail me, it is useless!"
"Lu Yifan!"
At this moment, Xuanfang had already rushed into the inner courtyard with a group of sect disciples, and there were seventy or eighty people in this group, of which Xuanzong disciples accounted for most of them, and the remaining twenty or thirty people were from other different sects in the Holy Domain. As soon as Xuan Fang saw Lu Yifan, the first sentence was an angry shout: "Lu Yifan, you will harm Yi'er so badly!"
Xuanfang and Ji Yi'er are brothers and sisters in Xuanzong, Xuanfang has always been in love with Ji Yi'er, until Ji Yi'er left Xuanzong, he still couldn't give up, and now the soul sect is down, Ji Yi'er's whereabouts are unknown, Xuanfang's heart can be described as sad and angry. Now that he sees Lu Yifan, he is even more red when he sees the enemy.
Under the instigation of Xuan Fang, this group of sect disciples had a tendency to be eager to try, and Cheng Yi's personal soldiers in the courtyard saw this, and they drew their swords one after another to block in front of Xuan Fang and the others, so as to prevent them from acting impulsively and hurting Cheng Yi's safety.
"Get out of the inner court, or your general will surely die. Lu Yifan's eyes were cold, and he ordered in a low voice, and as he spoke, the Stygian Sword in his hand pressed a few points towards Cheng Yi's neck, and suddenly a blood line overflowed along the blade of the sword. Seeing this scene, the pro-soldiers retreated one after another, while Xuan Fang and the others blocked the gate of the courtyard and refused to back down. Xuan Fang sneered: "Cheng Yi is their general but not the general of our sect disciples, if you want to kill and kill, what does it have to do with me?"
"Bastard, if there is any mistake on the part of my general, none of you will want to leave alive. One of the soldiers shouted angrily at Xuan Fang.
"Cheng Yi, I don't have much patience to discuss with them, it's better for you to say it!" Lu Yifan pressed close to Cheng Yi's ear and said in a low voice, "Your fearlessness is based on my kindness, if you really annoy me, Lu will not hesitate to kill again tonight! I think you should understand what I mean." Although Cheng Yi has a hard mouth, he doesn't really want to die, he spares no effort to transfer troops to come here to hunt down Lu Yifan, the real purpose is to invite merit to the emperor in the future, today when he learned the news of Lu Yifan from Liu Er, Cheng Yi did not immediately report to Jinling City, but mobilized here to chase and kill without authorization, and its purpose is very simple, that is, to take this great credit alone. Now that Cheng Yi's great future has just begun, how can he be willing to die for no reason? Chang Xu and Liu Tang know that in order to save their lives, they must not offend Lu Yifan, and sometimes the merit that is greater than the sky will also hide the danger of being greater than the sky, so why doesn't he Cheng Yi know this truth?
"Lu Yifan, let go of my general quickly, otherwise neither of them will survive!"
Just when Cheng Yi was hesitant and about to let go, Leng Wu's loud shout suddenly came from behind Xuan Fang and the others, and then only saw the cold Leng Wu Tiger rushing into the courtyard, and there were four sergeants eyeing Leng Wu behind him, but what surprised Lu Yifan the most was that in the hands of these four sergeants, two of Lu Yifan's life-saving benefactors, Liu Zitang and Liu Jitang, were still clamping two people with blades at this moment.
