Chapter Eighty-Eight: Descending the Mountain
In just a few breaths, the snow in a radius of dozens of zhang was solid and flat like a 10,000-pound giant wheel.
Xiao Yan jumped from the mountain rock to the snow with a "bang", and the ground where he landed trembled, but there was no snow mark.
King Jin thought it was funny, laughed, and landed on the ground with a "bang", raised his feet and jumped to the side, hehe smiled, "No print." β
One old and one young giggled.
The county lord of Qingchuan turned his head, it was too naΓ―ve for her to look at it.
Xiao Xun, Xiao Jian and the two martial cavalry generals also fell to the snow, and they were all a little terrified in their hearts, a late stage of the Cave True Realm was killed by an early stage of the Cave True Realm and an early stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm, or a much younger child than them, this is really ...... How can they be embarrassed by these old guys who have entered the real realm of the cave and have been in the late stage for many years?!
This county lord is indeed the legendary master who kills more and more.
The county lord of Qingchuan asked the king of Jin, "How is the situation over there?" β
When she was attacked and killed, King Jin, Xiao Xun, and Xiao Jian were also entangled by the corresponding acquired grandmasters, as for the guards and tooth soldiers under the mountain, she was not worried, the dozens of opponents in the Ascending Extreme Realm were only responsible for blocking them for a while, preventing them from reporting to the Jingnan army camp in time, and wanted to destroy her guards and tooth soldiers, and there were fewer people coming.
King Jin snorted and said: "When you caused the avalanche, the two generals Zhou and Hong had already roared up the mountain, and then the avalanche was together, and everyone had no intention of fighting again and ran to the avalanche." The three of us met on the road, and then met with the two generals, Zhou and Hong, and the three monks saw that the situation was not good, so they turned around and ran. Hmph, if it weren't for our hearts, we would have to leave one or two of them behind! β
He laughed again, "As soon as I heard your whistle, I knew that the monk who was chasing you was going to be unlucky." Haha, sure enough! This snow-capped mountain is the place where his body is buried. β
The King of Jin stroked his beard and smiled, looking proud and proud, and destroyed his Dao bone fairy temperament completely, and the county lord of Qingchuan turned his eyes a little unbearable, and said to Er Xiao, Zhou, and Hong: "Let's go down the mountain immediately and meet my guards." β
The four of them nodded, and Zhou Songling, the general of the martial cavalry and the late stage of the Dongzhen Realm, said: "General Xiao has already sent twenty martial cavalry generals (ascending the extreme realm) to meet the guards of the county lord, if they meet along the way, the enemy should have retreated." β
The county lord of Qingchuan nodded and pointed to the northeast, "Let's go down the mountain from this side." "When she came out of the snow through the hole before, she was condescending on the slope cliff, and she had already seen the direction, and she could meet her guard team the fastest when she descended from the northeast.
King Jin approached Xiao Yan with a smile and said, "Little Seventeen, I'll take you." β
Xiao Xun and Xiao Jian looked over at the same time, and said in their hearts, these two uncles are still there, do you need King Jin to bring them? Eyes swept over Xiao Yan's peerless and handsome face, and both of them were vigilant in their hearts - there is no shortage of Longyang in the royal family and family, although I haven't heard that King Jin has this habit, but this prince has always had a reputation for being a little out of tune, who knows what to do with such a closeness to Seventeen. Xiao Xun immediately took a step forward, and was about to say, "Don't dare to drive King Jin, I'll take Seventeen Lang", when he saw that the county lord of Qingchuan had directly reached out and held Xiao Yan.
His words choked in his throat.
"Let's go." The voice of the Qingchuan County Lord Bo Liang fell in the air, and he had already pulled Xiao Yan to the northeast.
King Jin swept over to follow, thinking that Ah Zhen was really unkind, what happened to him if he wanted to take his niece and granddaughter? Who doesn't like such a beautiful and pure child? It's really annoying to prevent him, an uncle, from being like a disciple of Fang Deng! If he hadn't known that Xiao Qiqi was her cousin and not her cousin, he really suspected that Qing Chuan had taken a fancy to her.
Xiao Xun and Xiao Jian quickly glanced at each other, and there was a little worry in their hearts, hoping it wasn't what they thought.
The eyes of the two generals Zhou and Hong flickered, and they could see clearly that the county lord of Qingchuan was not pulling Xiao Yan's sleeve, nor her wrist, but directly shaking her hand - for men and women, this is a very intimate gesture.
Hehe, could it be that the county lord is interested in the seventeenth lang of the Guogong Mansion......
At the same time, the two of them remembered that Xiao Seventeen was more handsome and outstanding than the first beautiful man in the army, Brother Shuguang, and they both said hehe.
However, looking at the eyes of the two grandmasters of the Xiao family, it seems that they are not so happy? Also, this Xiao Seventeen looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, no more than eighteen, and he is already in the extreme realm, although he is not comparable to the Lord of Qingchuan, but his talent is also extremely high, and Xiao Shiken is unwilling to send such beautiful materials to marry the royal family.
The people behind have their own thoughts, but Xiao Yan doesn't have any thoughts in his heart, his inner qi is under his feet, and he puts his body as light as a feather, and the county lord of Qingchuan takes her to walk, thinking about the light footwork of the county lord of Qingchuan, it seems that it is not simply stepping on the snow without a trace, it is more like integrating with the wind, she is the wind, and the wind is her.
Xiao Yan suddenly understood a little, why the monk in the late stage of the Cave True Realm has not caught up with the Qingchuan County Lord, I am afraid that in addition to her changeable scheming, it is also related to her extremely clever light martial arts.
Xiao Yan couldn't help but glance sideways at her.
As if he knew what she was thinking, the county lord of Qingchuan squeezed her hand, and a voice with a smile reached her ears: [This is a thousand miles of wind drifting. If you please me, I will teach you. γ
Xiao Yan felt that it might not be easy to please her, not to mention that after learning her light skills, maybe there would be any entanglements in the future. She promised the fourth brother to avoid her, this time it was an accident, so don't associate with her in the future. Chuanyin said: "I won't please people, so I still don't learn. γ
The county lord of Qingchuan has never been directly rejected like this, not to mention that it is a person she has a good impression of, and she is annoyed in her heart, and her body is a little faster, like an arrow off the string and shooting down the mountain.
The five people who followed behind, King Jin, Er Xiao, Zhou, and Hong, also accelerated their body skills at the same time.
In addition to King Jin, Er Xiao, Zhou, and Hong were all suspicious in their hearts. They had previously determined that the county lord of Qingchuan had suffered a relatively serious internal injury, after all, the monk was in the late stage of the Dongzhen Realm, even if he died under the plot of the county lord of Qingchuan, but there was a gap in the realm, it was impossible for the county lord of Qingchuan to retreat with his whole body, but the four of them saw the speed of the county lord of Qingchuan, how could it be like he was seriously injured? I was unsure in my heart, but I felt that this county lord was unfathomable, and it was really incomprehensible.
The speed of the Cave True Realm Grandmaster was very fast, although it was a steep and difficult snowy mountain, but in less than half an hour, the six of them had reached the foothills of the north-to-east side.
I saw several dark shadows coming from a distance towards the foot of the mountain.
The lord of Qingchuan County, Mu Li, had already seen that the people who came were her four guards, and there was also a person who was born in the late stage of the Ascending Extreme Realm, thinking that it was the leader of the martial arts general of the Jingnan Army, she took a step forward, covered Xiao Yan behind her, and shouted: "Ling Hulin." β
"County Lord!"
The four guards were overjoyed when they heard this, and Hu Lin responded.
The five of them came with lightning and saluted in unison, "County Lord!" β
As he spoke, the five Jin kings fell behind the county lord of Qingchuan.
The five of them saluted the king of Jin and others.
The county lord of Qingchuan instructed one of the guards: "Wei Chiting, you go and ask Liancheng to bring my mask." β
"Whoa." The fair-skinned of the four guards saluted and turned to hurry.
The county lord of Qingchuan asked Ling Hulin, the head of the guards: "How is the situation of the thieves?" What is our situation? β
Linghu Lin said: "Fifty-five thieves came, twenty-five in the late stage of the Ascending Realm, thirty-two in the middle stage, eight in the early stage, and seven or eight more than us in the late and middle stages. But we had strong crossbows, and the tooth soldiers formed a circle formation, and defended with a dense formation of crossbows, and they intended to prevent us from breaking through, and did not rush hard. The subordinates covered Xu Qinglin, Peng Quanzhen, and Ma Qianli to break through and report the news, Xu and Peng's two guards were killed, and only Ma Qianli successfully broke through. After that, General Song arrived with a military cavalry general, and the thieves retreated with casualties. It is estimated that about 30 thieves were injured and 7 were killed, 17 of our guards were injured and 9 were killed, and more than 20 of the tooth soldiers were killed or wounded. A few of his subordinates were worried about the situation on the mountain, so they went up the mountain with General Song to check first. β
The county lord of Qingchuan raised his eyebrows, "More than thirty thieves have been killed or wounded?" She glanced at General Song, "It seems that you arrived in time." β
General Na Song said modestly: "This is thanks to the county lord's horse guard who reported the news in time, and he met the horse guard not long after leaving the camp, saving the time of searching, so he rushed in time." Those thieves were very fierce, and they did not hesitate to fight with their lives in order to take their corpses with them when they retreated, otherwise they would have fled immediately when they saw our large team, and there would not have been so many casualties. β
King Jin snorted, "Are those monks still worried that we won't be able to whip the corpse, and we will snatch the corpse back at the cost of our lives?" β
"I heard that Tibetan Buddhism believes that offering the body to the eagle is a merit that can atone for the sins of life and allow the soul to be reincarnatedβperhaps for this reason. β
Zhou Songling nodded and said, "What the county lord said is good. The Tibetan people have the custom of sky burial, believing that after death, the body of a person can be taken to a designated place for the eagle vulture, or other birds and beasts to swallow, so that the soul can be brought to heaven. Those thieves may be worried that we will burn their bodies or bury them in the earth, and they will not be able to go to heaven after death, so they will fight to get them back. β
King Jin sighed, "What about the people who died on the battlefield?" β
Zhou Songling said: "When the Jingnan army fought with the Tubo people, they never collected the corpses, and shot a letter telling the Jingnan army not to bury them, so that the eagle vulture ate them on the battlefield and buried them. The previous commanders of the Jingnan Army did this, saving the effort of burying the enemy's corpses. When General Xiao was the commander of the army, he was worried that there were too many corpses and the eagle vulture would become a corpse plague if they couldn't eat it cleanly, so he ordered the Tubo people to collect the corpses and go back to find a place to bury them, otherwise they would build a pile of corpses on the battlefield and burn them. He said and smiled, "The Tubo people say that General Xiao is cruel, and most of them come from here. β
King Jin smiled with a beard, "So, the wicked must have the wicked to grind." β
The three generals, Zhou, Hong, and Song, could only cough and remain silent.
At this time, Wei Chiting came over with Liancheng.
"County Lord!" Liancheng saw that the county lord was unharmed and happily stepped forward to salute, and handed over the golden mask in his hand.
The county lord of Qingchuan turned around, handed the mask to Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "Your silver mask is lost, can I compensate you for some money?" β
Xiao Yan stretched out her hand to take it, thinking that there was nothing good about the golden light, but this would be what she needed, and she felt that the county lord of Qingchuan was very considerate, and sincerely thanked: "Thank you county lord." As he spoke, he put on the tassel and tied it.
King Jin smiled and said: "This golden light is shining, and Little Seventeen wants to brighten the eyes of the blind." β
Xiao Yan touched the gold mask, of course it was not made of pure gold, it was too heavy, it should be mixed with gold dust in it, it was similar to the material of the silver mask she was wearing, it was also very light, and it was also flexible.
After she put on the mask, the county lord of Qingchuan no longer stood in her way and led everyone out.
Xiao Xun beckoned to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan walked to the back and followed the two uncles.
Lian Cheng glanced back, she hadn't seen the county lord so close to which young man? - Although the county lord did not show closeness, the tone of his speech was somewhat different. As a maid who has served the county lord for more than ten years, she can still hear this nuance. Lian Cheng secretly wrote down Xiao Yan in his heart - although he didn't see his face, but looking at his posture and bearing, it seemed that he was not much better than Cui Qilangjun, who had the reputation of "Qionghua Yushu".
Out of the woods, join the ranks of the guards.
When everyone saw the return of the county lord, they cheered.
They were convinced that no matter how skilled the assassin was, their lord would return safely.
The county lord never let them down.
Despite the death of a dozen people, the smiles on their faces were bright.
It is their glory to die in battle for the lord of the county.
