In the summer, a neat cavalry escorted more than a dozen large carriages, along the official road, in front of a verdant mountain.

Under his instructions, more than thirty scout horses galloped out, divided into three columns, and headed towards the mountain road in front of them and the mountains on both sides, and soon a whistle indicating no anomaly was transmitted.

The black-armored young general's eyebrows furrowed, pondering, not knowing what was annoying him, and an unhappy look appeared on his face.

Hearing the whistle of the scout horse, the black-armored young general clenched his fists and made a movement upward, and the entire team began to march forward in unison.

The curtain of the door of a carriage behind him was lifted, and Lin Xi, who was dressed in a clean green shirt, walked out of it, looked at him and smiled.

The black-armored young general, who had an unhappy look on his face, suddenly showed a respectful look, the reins in his hand were slightly retracted, and the pace of the war horse under the seat was slightly slow, so he reached Lin Xi's side, bowed slightly and said: "Lord Lin, there is still more than half a day's trip to Rudonglin, you can rest in peace." ”

"I know. Lin Xi looked at the captain, nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm just coming out to breathe, and I'll talk to you by the way." ”

The black-armored young general said respectfully: "If you want to talk to me, you only need to call me into the carriage to talk, and show your face outside, after all, it is more dangerous." ”

Lin Xi smiled and glanced at the dense cavalry in front and behind, and then at the more than ten carriages in front and behind, and said softly: "General Gu asked so many of you to escort me with so many ordnance, isn't it safe enough?"

The black-armored young general responded seriously: "Lord Lin, General Gu has personally issued an edict, you have a special identity, you are a clear sword and a spear on the battlefield, but not on the battlefield, in the territory of Yunqin, it is difficult to defend against hidden arrows, I don't know how many hidden spies and assassins will be unfavorable to adults." ”

Lin Xi smiled: "Maybe it's not just reckless people, maybe there will be a lot of 'own people' who will be unfavorable to me, right." ”

The black-armored young general's face stiffened slightly, and then he bowed to Lin Xi again, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Lin, no matter who is not good for you, those people are our enemies. ”

Lin Xi shook his head and laughed at himself: "I'm not a military general, I'm not in the court, and I'm not even a Yunqin official. ”

The black-armored young general said respectfully: "Lord Lin, no matter what your identity is, we are soldiers, we must strictly implement the orders of the upper peak, since we have received the order to send you to Rudongling safely, and more importantly, all the brothers on the front line have great respect for your lordship, if you have some accidents under our escort, we really have to die to apologize, otherwise we will have no shame to go back and face them." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not a weak flower, and I'll be fine. ”

Lin Xi looked at the captain who was extremely respectful and stubborn to him, smiled again, and said softly: "You just said that my identity is a little special, you can be honest, what is the outside world's opinion of me now, what kind of special law is it... It's a matter of my judgment, it's a matter of my safety. ”

The black-armored young general hesitated slightly, and reported in a serious and soft voice: "There are rumors in the outside world now that Lord Lin may be someone with the same cultivation potential as Dean Zhang... Speaking of your identity, you are a rare 'general god' in Qingluan Academy. ”

"I'm no longer the Chosen and Windranger of Qingluan Academy, and I have already said that I am a god. Lin Xi couldn't help but shake his head, and said to himself: "It seems that Wenren Cangyue and Da Mang have made a lot of effort to spread such news. ”

The black-armored young general hesitated again, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he closed his mouth and didn't ask anything.

Lin Xi could see the meaning in his eyes, smiled slightly, and nodded: "The more this is the case, the more people I can bring to deal with me, although my cultivation is not high, and I am still very weak in the eyes of many people... Getting back to the point, since General Gu and you all know that my whereabouts in the empire are no longer hidden, walking in the empire in the open may be more dangerous and assassinate than walking on the battlefield, do you have enough strength to protect me?"

"I mean, in case you encounter a great master, or even a holy teacher... Do you have anything to resist?" After a slight pause, Lin Xi looked at the black-armored young general and said softly.

"Yes. ”

The black-armored young general did not hesitate, and said softly: "My lord, among our eight hundred cavalry troops, there are fifteen people from the Black Flag Army, and among the rest of the carriages, eight of them have just arrived at the front line, and our Yun Qin has improved the mountain-breaking crossbow machine on the basis of the mountain-piercing crossbow machine, which can shoot three crossbow arrows at a time, and the speed and power are even greater, these plus us, should be enough to deal with the cultivators of the great country master level, as for the holy master... We have two net throwing machines transformed by our dragon and snake craftsmen, the nets are extremely poisonous, and there are three people wearing Qingluan heavy armor in the carriage, and now there are two extremely fast horses in the team, "Chasing the Sun" and "Xiangyun", if you want to entangle the Holy Master, let your adults escape, it should not be a problem. ”

"The strongest ballista, the net-throwing ordnance, Yun Qin's strongest heavy armor, the fast horse, can only entangle the Holy Master... The combat power of the Holy Master is still too strong after all. Lin Xi sighed softly, but he smiled again, looked at the captain with a cold and solemn expression, and said, "It's just that Yun Qin's Saint Master level cultivators are all famous and surnamed, as long as they make a move, they will be known who they are." As for the reckless holy master, if he wants to fight an army openly, I am afraid he does not have such courage, especially after making a move, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the reckless, and the reckless may not be willing to pay such a price, after all, in the past two years, they have killed too many holy masters. Especially after abolishing most of the Thousand Demon Caves, it is equivalent to cutting off the source of many holy masters. Therefore, the chance of encountering the Holy Master's hard fight is not very large, and the most likely thing is that it is all kinds of plots. ”

The black-armored young general nodded calmly, hearing that Lin Xi was thinking so carefully, while admiring Lin Xi even more in his heart, he was also slightly relieved, and said, "I think it's the same." ”

At this time, the team was close to the mouth of the gorge, Lin Xi looked up at the green mountains on both sides, and the cool mountain breeze blew from the mountains and forests.

"You want to kill me... I've been preaching out there that I might have the gift of God... In this case, I can't let them down, and I want them to see how good I am... Let them understand the awe that Qingluan Academy is talking about. ”

At this moment, Lin Xi smiled and whispered something that only the black-armored young general and he could hear.

The black-armored young general's sword frowned slightly, he didn't understand why Lin Xi suddenly said such a sentence.

"What is the range of those mountain-breaking crossbow machines?It should be able to easily shoot to the top of this mountain, right?" Just as he turned around, Lin Xi whispered this sentence again.

He saw that Lin Xi's gaze fell on the green hill on the left side of the official road.

"The shooting height can reach 700 steps, this green mountain is only 400 steps high, yes. The young general in black armor was puzzled, but he still answered seriously immediately.

Lin Xi then said softly: "The ballista is hidden in the car, and the exit of the crossbow arrow should be facing the window, because if the opponent is charging into formation, it is always much easier to rush from the side than to rush all the way to the middle from the front." It should be able to adjust on the inside... Aim, shoot, right?"

The body of the black-armored young general shook slightly.

The situation of the ballista hidden in the car was exactly the same as what Lin Xi had guessed at the moment.

"Yes!" he immediately nodded in response.

"Someone will ambush us at this gorge. Lin Xi smiled slightly and said.

The black-armored young general's face turned cold, and he said softly: "The scout army has already reconnoitred..."

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "Since you are the Dragon Snake Border Army, you should also know that if the Scout Army has not found out, it does not necessarily mean that there is really no one." ”

The black-armored young general took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes." ”

Lin Xi then said calmly: "If you launch an attack, you don't necessarily have to be killed... Rolling logs and falling rocks can kill people. Before the arrangement, as long as one person, he could roll down a few giant trees and 10,000 catties of boulders. Do you see that ape-like rock on the green hill on the left? ”

The black-armored young general looked incredulously at the place Lin Xi said.

On the green hill on the left, there is a huge rock lying on the side of the cliff, like an ape, weighing an unknown number of catties, and it seems that it is not possible to push it by manpower at all.

And under the shade of the trees, it was impossible to see under the rock, let alone behind it.

"With so many ballistas being stimulated, and if they are trained accurately, most of them should be able to land behind the rocks, and the other party doesn't know that there will be such a blow suddenly, so it shouldn't be too late to react. Lin Xi smiled slightly, looked at the captain who was a little stunned by shock and disbelief, and reminded softly: "If you don't have a better way to kill a powerful cultivator who should be at the level of a great power master, it's best to follow my advice and immediately order the ballista to be adjusted." In this way, we should be in time before the mouth of the gorge. ”

The eyes of the black-armored young general flashed violently, "Lord Lin... Is this the legendary talent of the gods?"

Lin Xi looked at the border army general who finally couldn't help but ask this sentence, and smiled, "If you trust my intuition, you can try." ”

The black-armored young general bowed down, didn't say anything more, and shuttled through the ranks at high speed.

......

The top of Aoyama Mountain.

Behind the boulder, stood a middle-aged man with a long beard wearing a moon-white robe.

This middle-aged man with a long beard with a gentle face and a calm face was in the grass house of Moon Snatching City, and all his disciples prevented him from entering Yun Qin to hunt down Lin Xi, but he insisted on entering Yun Qin, and taught the disciples one last lesson, telling them why he wanted to hunt down Lin Xi, and the reason why he felt that he could kill Lin Xi.

The fact that he was able to appear here very quickly, and that he was able to arrange a killing game waiting for Lin Xi, could already show that he was much stronger than ordinary reckless cultivators.

Strength is not only in terms of cultivation.

If you want to kill, you don't have to rely on soul power.

Among the dead leaves that seemed to have no abnormalities under his feet, there were several vine ropes, and as long as he used his strength to break these vine ropes, a huge tree would rush towards him, hitting the boulder in front of him that even the Holy Master could not push before, and then this boulder, which had been manipulated and tampered by him, would fall, crushing several carriages together.

The army and the wagons, which were becoming clearer and clearer in his sight, had reached the mouth of the gorge, and he was only one step away from success.

And he also knows how to make trade-offs, and he doesn't have any entanglements in his heart... It would be best to be able to capture Lin Xi alive, maybe he could force him to find out his cultivation method, but if there was no hope of capturing Lin Xi alive, kill him, and then try to get Lin Xi's sword, which is already very good for him.

Those who can get it, take it, and those who can't get it, don't be greedy, * too much to get it, and there are no troubles. That's what he said to his students when he was teaching.

Those who are not greedy are more likely to succeed... However, at this moment, just as he was only one last step away from the successful implementation of his plan, he suddenly felt a chilling roar suddenly appear in the heavens and the earth.

Then he saw that the metal streamers, which were so fast and blurry to his perception, fell from the sky fiercely!
