Chapter 13: Thorns

Xiangyang City.

The tall city walls, like a huge cage, give people a feeling of impermeability. Rolling clouds filled the sky, but there was not a hint of wind.

Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

A slightly blessed man in the prime of life sat opposite a beautiful young man who was as beautiful as June snow.

The middle-aged man rubbed his temples and sighed.

There seemed to be a black aura in his hall, and there was also a haggard look on his face, and his body was obviously not very good. The fullness of the cheeks is about just a fatness, but it still shows the contours of handsome features.

This is none other than Li Zhong, the head of the Three Rivers Sword Sect.

The beautiful young man sitting across from him is, of course, his only son Li Xun, nicknamed Lingzhu, fourteen years old this year.

Li Xun is a well-known prodigy in Middle-earth, and he has won the true inheritance of the art of war from his great-grandfather Li Yi. When he was eleven years old, he once led the army alone, pacified the Dameng Cottage in the mountains, and killed the thief Jiang Li, so he was famous all over the world.

Jiang Li is actually also a member of the Sanhe Sword Sect.

The Sanhe Sword Sect was originally controlled by the Xinghe Jiang family, but it declined, and the Haihe Li family came from behind and controlled Sanhe. There are many disobedient people in the Jiang family, and Jiang Li is one of the outstanding figures, good at using soldiers, and not an extraordinary mediocre person.

Li Xun's initial battle completely eliminated the remnants of the Jiang family.

But the young man looked very weak, and lowered his eyes, and gently wiped his blown-cheek with a moistened handkerchief.

A turtle is drawn on the veil.

"Little bamboo, it's time to act. Li Zhong sighed: "Your uncle's mistake this time is simply going to make our three rivers unrecoverable." ”

Li Xiao is Li Zhong's uncle, Li Xun's uncle, and an important minister in the Sanhe Sword Sect, and he is also very capable.

But because of the struggle for power, Li Xiao fell into Wu Feng's discordant plan this time, which led to the fall of Junyang City, and Canglan, the famous general of the Sanhe Sword Sect, was killed by Su Mengzhen, the master of the Divine Hall.

Li Xun also said gloomily: "Uncle has rebelled, and my mother will be very unhappy." ”

He begged again: "Daddy, don't let my mother cry." When I saw her crying, my heart was choked. ”

Li Zhong nodded, and said with some annoyance: "It's this Wu Feng again, it's his bad thing every time!"

He suddenly coughed vigorously, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, and when he let go, the handkerchief was already stained with blood.

Li Zhong was assassinated when he was ten years old, and he was severely injured and injured Daoji, and his health has been poor all these years, and it has worsened in the past four years.

Li Xun hurriedly went over and rubbed his father's back, and said gently, "Daddy, it's okay." ”

Thinking of Wu Feng and the days of freedom on the grassland, Li Xun couldn't help but feel stunned.

Wu Feng was his best friend, but now he had also become the most formidable enemy of the Three Rivers Sword Sect.

If it weren't for Wu Feng, Su Mengzhen might not have been able to cause any fatal damage.

Li Zhong smiled bitterly: "It's too sick, it's okay, I won't be able to die for a while." But your uncle is such a bad dog, phew, it affects Daddy's mood......"

Li Xun was gloomy.

Uncle Shui Xinyuan and his father Li Zhong have always had a bad relationship, but they have always been good to him.

However, the fundamental reason why my uncle betrayed this time was because my uncle Li Xiao was immersed in fighting for power and profit, which led to the fall of Junyang City. The betrayal of Mizunokan is a knock-on effect of this matter.

And her aunt Li Youyou, who has been lurking in the enemy realm for many years, has also been betrayed by her lover recently and exposed, and has to commit suicide with a sword, which makes the entire Three Rivers Sword Sect more and more overshadowed.

Li Zhong said again: "Is it okay to only have Zhao Zongsheng's words?

Li Xun shook his head: "No need, it's not good if there are too many people, two people are enough." ”

......

Will Night City.

This is the residence of Li Xiao, a major minister of the Sanhe Sword Sect.

The Li family's direct line has always been thin, Li Zhong and Li Xun are the only seedlings in these two generations, and Li Zhong's father Li Qing also has only two younger brothers, Li Xiao and Li Kang, of which Li Kang has died at the hands of Shentang Su Mengzhen twenty years ago.

When Li Zhong succeeded to the throne, Li Xiao had made great efforts, so he had to be reused.

However, this time he was calculated by Wu Feng and sat idly by and did not save Junyang City, which led to the fall of Junyang and made an unforgivable mistake.

Li Xiao, who is forty strange this year, is looking at the little nephew opposite.

There was a tiger-headed little guy beside Li Xun, who looked two years younger than Li Xun, and he didn't look bad, but he had a stiff face and stared at him, as if everyone owed him money.

At this time, Li Xun had no shy look, his face was as calm as water, and he said: "Uncle Ancestor, this is the son of Elder Zhao Zhonggao, Zhao Zongsheng, who is currently in the conviction training camp in the south of Xiangyang City, is the leader of the camp. The nickname 'Zhao Ritian' is him. ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Zongsheng had already poked Li Xiao with his finger and shouted: "I, Zhao Ritian, are not convinced! Li Xiao, you are also the patriarch of Sanhe, and you are also the blood relative of the master of the sect, how can you collude with outsiders and make this sect fall into such a difficult situation as it is now! Li Xiao, you are a sinner of our Sanhe faction!"

Li Xun stomped on Zhao Zongsheng's feet and motioned him to shut up, but Zhao Zongsheng seemed to have no feeling at all.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Ancestor, Xiao Zhao has always been open-mouthed, please forgive me." ”

Li Xiao said: "It's okay, such a true temperament is really the style of the Zhao family." ”

He sighed again: "Today's realm is indeed my fault. If it weren't for my Li Xiao's thoughts, I wouldn't have been taken advantage of by the enemy......"

He really didn't expect that just a slight acceptance of the benefits given by the enemy would cause the Three Rivers Sword Sect to suffer such a huge crisis.

Li Xun said gently: "Since Lord Uncle Ancestor dares to admit it, it is not a bad thing. It's not too late to make amends. ”

Li Xiao nodded heavily and said, "Little bamboo, my uncle has always known that you are smart, what good plan do you have?"

Li Xun groaned slightly.

Then he said: "When a wild dog eats many pieces of non-poisonous meat and bones, it will definitely take it lightly, no matter how treacherous and cunning it is. ”

"Su Mengzhen has taken too much advantage recently, and Uncle Zu can pretend to be willing to continue to cooperate with him and lure him into taking the bait. ”

"If you can set up an ambush and cripple him at once, then the danger of the three rivers can be solved. If we are lucky, we can also directly solve the big problem of Su Mengzhen. ”

Li Xiao's eyes flashed: "You mean...... Surrender?"

Li Xun nodded: "Su Mengzhen must now think that Uncle Zu is a completely selfish person who does not care about the safety of the sect. ”

Li Xiao praised: "Brilliant plan." So how do you do that?"

Li Xun scratched his head: "Let me think about it." ”

After a while, he showed a sly expression and began to speak leisurely.

"Why don't you borrow your uncle's head for it?"

Li Xiao's expression changed suddenly.

"Boy, what did you say?"

He is a master of conquering the sky, and these two boys are only in the realm of Zhenye, so they dare to say that they want his head!

Li Xun had already sacrificed his flying sword, the Huifeng Sword, only to hear the wind groaning, the sound of the sword whistling, and the sword went straight to Li Xiao's chest.

Li Xiao snorted coldly, and also sacrificed the flying sword, slashing away, the brilliance was blazing, ten times better than Li Xun's sword light.

"Boy, die!"

But when he saw Zhao Zongsheng suddenly burst out, he let out a long roar.

Countless pieces of armor suddenly flew out of his ancestral aperture, enveloping him into an iron man, holding a huge spear in the shape of a dragonfly, several feet long.

The body of the gun was swirled with electric light, and a storm and thunder stirred.

The strong wind was agitated, and it actually exploded the entire inner hall, and the bricks and stones splashed in all directions!

Li Xiao showed an incredulous look.

In an instant, he had been poked in the chest, and the whole thing was provoked.

"It's ...... Gundam armor?"

Li Xun had been swept by Li Xiao's sword light, and he was also seriously injured, and his body was stained with blood, but he smiled exceptionally beautifully.

"That's right, the Gundam battle armor left by the previous generation of famous general Gundam, with this thing, the Zhenye realm can also fight and kill the masters of the heavens. ”

Li Xun said calmly.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth: "The Gundam Battle Armor has been hidden in Xiangyang City for hundreds of years, and no one can use it. How is it possible for a twelve-year-old child?"

Li Xun said with a smile: "So Zhao Ritian is the strongest killer weapon that we have cultivated for many years in Sanhe. It's a pity that before he fully grew up, Su Mengzhen came over. It would be wonderful to send you on your way with this thing, uncle, and you may rest in peace......"

The huge nail body suddenly cracked a piece from his chest, and the seriously injured Li Xun was sucked in.

The opening closed instantly.

Li Xiao clutched his chest, blood spurted out of his body, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Zhao Zongsheng harnessed the Gundam battle armor and flew up with Li Xun.

At this time, several of Li Xiao's sons and subordinates arrived one after another, only to see Li Xiao lying in a pool of blood, buried in the ruins, already exhausted!

"These two little beasts haven't flown high yet!" Li Xiao's eldest son gritted his teeth with grief in his eyes and said: "Those who can fly will use magic weapons to catch up, and the archers are ready to shoot a salvo and break them into pieces!"

But suddenly someone hurriedly reported: "The eldest prince, it's not good! A large number of soldiers and horses appeared on both sides of the city, and I don't know where they came from, and the leaders were the disciples of the master of the sect, Jiu Zhongci and Shi Shuzheng. They want to take advantage of the assassination of the city lord to take the city in one fell swoop and destroy us!"

"Hell!" Li Xiao's eldest son roared angrily: "Don't chase it, go and defend the city, go quickly!"

When the city soldiers lined up at the head of the city, ready to throw arrows and stones, they found that the two teams receded like a tide.

"What's going on?"

"Why don't you attack the city again?"

Li Xiao's eldest son looked up to the sky, and when he looked closely, Zhao Zongsheng and Li Xun were already out of sight.

His face contorted.

Hit the plan.

The night city will be strong, even if Li Xiao is assassinated, it will not be able to break through for a while. Jiu Zhongci and Shi Shuzheng appeared with troops, but it was just to cover Li Xun and Zhao Zongsheng's safe retreat.

Pretend to discuss a plan and wait for an opportunity to assassinate. Li Xun attracted Li Xiao's attack, and Zhao Zongsheng killed him with the powerful power of the Gundam Battle Armor. Then Jiu Zhongji and Shi Shu Zhengze pretended to attack the city to cover the retreat of the prince.

The reason why the troops were assembled so quickly was because there were a large number of people who had been summoned improvised. However, Li Xiao was assassinated, and there was a panic in the city, how could the people in the city think so much for a while?

This assassination is interlocking, and it doesn't leak.

The logic of Li Zhong and Li Xun's father and son is that if they do something wrong, they will pay the price.

The price of Li Xiao is his life.

No matter how much credit he has made before, there will be no chance of atonement.
