Chapter 9 Snow Lotus in the Tianshan Mountains
"What? You're going to rob the tribute? Are you crazy, is it really a Tang Empire that can't be made of mud? As soon as Fairy Qingyun heard Ji Yunkong's plan, he almost sat on the ground in fright. Tianshan Snow Lotus, indeed, everyone knows that there is a Tianshan Snow Lotus in the tribute paid to the Tang Emperor by Fanbang this time, which is a priceless treasure. However, no one dared to fight the idea of this Tianshan Snow Lotus.
First, because Fanbang sent 3,000 armor soldiers to escort all the way, these 3,000 people are Fanbang's elite soldiers, known as "flying wolves", although the number is not large, but all of them are brave and good at fighting, just find out a person, put it in the rivers and lakes, are second- or third-rate masters, 3,000 well-trained "flying wolf army", enough to leave the strong on the "hundred heroes". Of course, relying only on these 3,000 "Flying Wolf Army" is not enough to protect the safety of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, in order to be foolproof, Fanbang also sent their national teacher, the "Eagle Monk" He Ballu.
"Eagle Monk" He Ballu, the twenty-eighth strong man in the "Hundred Heroes", is only one place behind King Tang. However, whether it is a competition or a life-and-death duel, accidents always happen at any time, although the two are ranked in order, but when they really move, the victory or defeat is only in the number of five or five.
He Ballu is also a legendary figure, he himself is a native of the Central Plains, and he is a monk, but he was later hunted down by the enemy and forced to wander outside the country. After more than ten years outside the Saiwai, I don't know what adventures I had, and I have practiced a strong martial arts. After coming back, he wiped out all his enemies, and then fled to the outside of the Saiwai, where he was appreciated by the Khan of Fanbang and became a national teacher.
On the way to transport the Tianshan Snow Lotus, every time they passed through a checkpoint or city, the officials of the Tang Dynasty had to send elite soldiers to escort them. Especially when passing through the city, the whole city was under martial law from the day before the convoy came, and the city gate was not opened until the convoy left safely, during which not even a single fly was allowed to enter or leave. Even so, everyone still felt that it was not enough to be safe, and the Tang Emperor had long ordered Baizhan Hou to lead 10,000 horses to escort them, from the moment they entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, until the Tianshan Snow Lotus was sent to the palace, they would not leave an inch.
Hundred battles, that is also a strong man above the "Hundred Heroes", ranking sixty-third, and its strength should not be underestimated. Two "Baixiong" powerhouses were sent to escort them at once, which shows that Fanbang and Datang attach great importance to this Tianshan Snow Lotus. It's no wonder that it is the Tianshan Snow Lotus, which is claimed to be able to bring the dead back to life, and generally speaking, the medicine that only exists in legends has finally appeared in front of the world. And Fanbang's tribute to such a precious treasure this time is also for a purpose. They want to ask the Tang Dynasty for marriage and marry the current emperor's sister, the master of the Heavenly Dream Palace, to Fanbang.
With Ji Yunkong's current martial arts, he can compete with a hundred battles at most, and as for seizing the Tianshan Snow Lotus from the hands of the "Eagle Monk" He Ballu and the three thousand "Flying Wolf Army", it is tantamount to a fantasy.
Therefore, even after Duanmu Zhisha heard this idea, he persuaded: "Brother Yunkong, this matter is really too dangerous, and it is simply a situation of ten deaths. Let's give up, there is no need to take such a big risk for me, besides, I can live for a few years, maybe there will be other natural treasures. ”
Of course, Ji Yunkong couldn't give up, Tianshan Snow Lotus, Ten Thousand Years Lingzhi, how could such rare treasures be so common. Not to mention a few years, even hundreds of years, and it may not appear once. Ji Yunkong remembered that the last time 10,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum appeared was more than 200 years ago. If such a treasure was so easy to get, Emperor Tang would not have to beg the ghost woman back then.
"Don't worry, Ben Shao will naturally not be stupid enough to go to that bald head, I naturally have a way to steal the Tianshan Snow Lotus." Ji Yunkong said with a smile.
Duanmu didn't persuade again, but just began to pack up his things, packing up some commonly used medicines, golden needles, and medical books. "Since Brother Yunkong insists on this, the little sister has to accompany her, otherwise, I really don't worry about you going alone."
Ji Yunkong frowned, thought about it, and didn't open his mouth to persuade after all. He knows Duanmu's shy character, which seems to be weak, but is actually stronger than anyone else. Ordinary people may have had a nervous breakdown when they learned that they would not live to be more than 20 years old, but this weak woman survived in a daze, and even comforted herself and others not to worry about her. Once she makes a decision, no matter how much others persuade her, it is useless. Instead of bothering about it, it is better to think about how to protect her, Ji Yunkong lowered his head and thought, it seems that his original plan needs to be changed.
"Wait a minute," Fairy Qingyun stood up suddenly, "I admire your courage and understand that you have what you have to do. However, with all due respect, facing the three thousand 'Flying Wolf Army', the Eagle Monk and the Hundred Battles at the same time, such a lineup, except for the top ten masters, it is impossible for the rest of the people to retreat in their entirety. I'm sorry, I still have to do something, please Miss Duanmu to help me get rid of the cold poison, I'm willing to pay any price. ”
Ji Yunkong chuckled: "What if our request is for you to accompany us to steal the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" ”
"If that's the case, then I can only be sorry, I can't accompany you to the adventure." Fairy Qingyun's words are categorical and leave no room for error.
Ji Yunkong and Duanmu didn't speak, Han Lian's choice was understandable, she said that she was completely abducted by Ji Yunkong, and even, she didn't know if she was friend or foe with them, so it was naturally impossible to block her life for two people who only had one side.
Ji Yunkong chuckled: "I have a way, Sister Duanmu, do you think this will work?" You don't want to go, let the Hanlian Fairy supervise on your behalf, so that you can rest assured. Hanlian Fairy, this time, you don't have to make a move, no matter whether you succeed or fail, as long as you can bring my life and death back to Sister Duanmu, I will let her help you heal, how about it? ”
Fairy Qingyun thought about it again and again, and felt that if he was only responsible for supervision, his life should not be in danger. After all, she is not a weak woman who is powerless, what Guanghan Palace is poured by the world is not only graceful dancing, every step of the dance contains peerless murderous intentions, and if you are not careful, you will sink forever in this beautiful dance.
Duanmu also nodded in agreement, after all, she herself also knew her physical condition, it was really not suitable for a long trip, and having a sister to help supervise Ji Yunkong was better than having no one to accompany her.
"Okay, that's it, but I have one more request, I want to supervise you in the shadows, and I won't be with you." Qingyun Fairy is also a last resort, the rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, if he walks with Ji Yunkong, maybe he will become his victim at a critical moment. This kind of thing has been seen countless times by Fairy Qingyun over the years. Duanmu Zhisha, who is here, just wants a result, so that it may be more secret in the dark.
"Good!" Ji Yunkong agreed. If you want to live in this world, you have to guard against people, and the performance of Qingyun Fairy is not that she doesn't trust them, but that she is just cautious
