Chapter 14: The Return

Fang was far apart, but they could see each other's expressions clearly from a distance, Fan Xian recognized the other party's departure, and couldn't help but shake his head, and an uncontrollable exhaustion welled up in his heart. After being chased and killed by the Xihu wolves for three days, the consumption of both sides has reached its peak, and since the other party has given up, of course he will not have any disappointment, and some are just relieved.

After waiting for three days, the three-day chase looked more like a game played by children, not so dangerous, and even the two sides never even pulled out their knives and did not shoot an arrow, but in fact, they both knew what this chase represented and what kind of danger it hid.

Fan Xian and his party went deep into the hinterland of the grassland, and left with their hooves in a dashing manner, although they never really fought, they left a deep black shadow on the hearts of the Xihu people. Many years ago, Qingguo's largest border expansion operation was also carried out under the secret leadership of the Supervision Yuan, the person named Chen Pingping, until today, is still a legendary symbol of treating demons on the grassland, and Fan Xian's trip to Xihu can be regarded as a continuation of the excellent tradition of the Supervision Yuan, and after taking over, he arrogantly inspected the territory.

This time is a heavy blow to the spirit of the grassland people, the Xihu royal court intends to unify the grassland and compete with Qingguo, but it can't leave a group of people who go deep into the hinterland of the grassland, which will surely make them have a clearer judgment of their own strength, and will also make the Xihu tribe, which has been extremely beautiful in the past two years, be much more cautious in sending troops.

Xihudan chased in vain for three days in Subida. Forced to return depressed. It seems to be helpless and sad, but it falls in Fan Xiandi's eyes. But there is something else to say, the master of the grassland, retreats so resolutely. This kind of courage to give up, and to be able to suppress the belligerent temperament of the Hu cavalry, is really an alternative in the grassland.

If this person, with the help of Begonia Land, really dominates the grassland, I am afraid that he will really become a big problem for Qingguo.

Fan Xian blinked, his long eyelashes were covered with dust, and he looked like a native person. played with the strong men on the grassland, but he was not very happy, but seemed a little lonely and helpless.

"Let's go. He took the reins. Galloping under the meadow in the twilight sun, the horses under him were jubilant.

......

......

Although it seems that the pursuers of the royal court have retreated, the black cavalry generals still dare not relax, who knows if those ruthless Xihu people will create an illusion and then kill them from the flank and rear. On the steppe. The Hu people have the help of the Flying Eagle. It completely offset the utility of the cylinder telescope in Fan Xian's hand.

Because of this, the people who escaped from the grassland still did not dare to slow down, forcibly supported their tired bodies, and urged the war horses oozing with medicinal sweat under them to gallop towards the east. It wasn't until seven days later that the group entered the Red Mountain Pass. to be truly reassured.

Red Mountain is a particularly strange terrain in the east of the grassland, which is completely composed of earth and rock. After countless thousands of years of north wind blowing, it has been divided into isolated peaks, all of which are red. It looks like the imperial pen Zhu Pi in the mainland of the imperial study, which is shocking and murderous.

The road to the customs is just below these red mountains, and the path is like a sheep's intestine, twisting and turning. Fan Xian walked in front of the team and took the leather bag handed over by Jing Ge. He took a sip of water, moistened his sore throat, and said in a hoarse voice, "Finish this matter." When you return to Beijing, you must lie down for two months. ”

There was a thudding sound in the red mountain, as if someone had stepped on the sand and rocks on the mountain, Jing Ge couldn't help frowning. Fan Xian knew what he was thinking, and laughed, but because of the problem of his voice, the laughter was particularly ugly - the Qingguo Expedition to the Western Army, which was ambushed in the Red Mountain Pass, seemed to be extremely tired, and actually let his group capture such an obvious sound.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from the valley ahead, and the dusty prince Li Hongcheng greeted him from there with the Dingzhou army, Li Hongcheng grabbed the horse's belly and came to Fan Xian's side, looking at Fan Xian's embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "I said earlier, how can you be provoked by you?"

Fan Xian glanced at him and said, "At least I took him out for six days, and these six days are enough time to do something." ”

"In order to kill those Northern Qi people in the royal court, you need to be so careful?" Li Hongcheng glanced at him disapprovingly, and confirmed that this kid was unharmed, before he put his mind at ease and continued: "Have you ever done it with the Xihu people?"

"No, just moving my feet. ”

The teams of the two sides converged in one place, and the momentum suddenly soared, and in a short time, they drove out of the Red Mountain Pass, which contained thousands of years of wind and sand. In order to cover up the news and prevent anyone from reporting to the Xihu royal court, a total of 8,000 elite people of Qingguo who were ambushed in Hongshankou along the way were all relatives of the general's mansion and front-line soldiers in Qingzhou City, and no major transfer was carried out through the Dingzhou side.

"We've been waiting here for seven days, but we haven't waited for anything, do you have to give some explanation?" Li Hongcheng pursed his blistered lips.

"Excuse me. Fan Xian lightly clamped the horse's belly, and there was no pain on his body, glaring at him, the ambush in the red mountain pass was just a preparation, who could tell how strong Shan Yu's vinegar was

And this place is still a few days away from Qingzhou, so if you don't go back quickly, you are still resting here, which is really a risky thing.

What he was concerned about was actually the situation in Dingzhou City: "Did you do it?"

"I'll leave before I do it, and all the people under your command will be cooperated by the Governor's Palace, and I have issued a military order, don't worry. Li Hongcheng looked at him and said: "Although I don't know the specific situation, but there is intelligence coming over for several days, and the operation should be very smooth. ”

Fan Xian nodded, no longer said anything, after this battle, the grassland fell into chaos again, and the most important thing is that one of the Supervision Yuan entered the grassland, and the other belonged to the Xiliang Road, and successfully swept away the spies buried in this vast battlefield of the Northern Qi people. Just because he dealt with it more ruthlessly and shamelessly. It turned into a bubble.

......

......

Four days later, nearly 10,000 elite troops of the Qingguo Kingdom finally withdrew from the grassland. Entered Qingzhou City. This batch of teams. Not a single battle was fought with the cavalry of Sihu. It completely served as a background drawing board for the actions of the Supervisory Yuan. Naturally, morale is not as high as when the troops were dispatched, and after staying up in the Red Mountain Pass for too long, it looks like a defeated soldier.

The mental outlook of the Black Riders of the Supervision Yuan is not much better, if it is not for Fan Xian to earn face. I'm afraid that these people will fall to the ground and fall asleep immediately.

As soon as you enter Qingzhou City. Fan Xian immediately ordered the black horse to rest, and Jing Ge took the order, but they couldn't go to the bath and eat right away. First of all, we must take care of the hundreds of horses specially trained by the Supervision Yuan. The medicinal power of these horses has begun to reverse. It's about to be unbearable, if you don't rush to treatment. I'm afraid that they will gradually die after that.

These hundreds of humane military horses. He is the life-saving benefactor of the Black Riding Land of the Supervision Yuan. All do not want to see them end up in a miserable situation. It's just that everyone knows it. After running thousands of miles this time, this group of dark horses could no longer recover the original divine horses, and they couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in their hearts.

Fan Xian followed the army of the Xida camp. Greeted by the suspicious gazes cast on both sides of the road in Qingzhou City, those soldiers and businessmen guessed the identity of this young man. Naturally, I guessed that the imperial court must have made a big move on the grassland. Just looking at the tired and listless appearance of the Dingzhou army. Everyone thought that the imperial court's operation on the grassland had failed. The gaze was a little strange.

Fan Xian and Li Hongcheng had just entered the Qingzhou Military Office. After receiving the news, Di Ye Ling'er hurried back from the city wall. Rushed into the back room, pushed the door open, and said angrily: "You think you are an immortal? I'm not afraid that the Hu people will swallow you alive!"

Ye Linger has her own reasons for being angry. Because Fan Xian went deep into the grassland this time. Although nothing was lost, it was actually a big risk. So uncaring for her own life, Ye Ling'er thought of this. He was angry, if Fan Xian died on the grassland. What about Lin Wan'er? What about the two children?

As Lin Wan'er's handkerchief, she had every reason to criticize Fan Xian's reckless behavior with the harshest judgment. Of course, there was another reason why she was angry, that is, Fan Xian came to Qingzhou City. I didn't come to see myself, and I hid such a big thing from myself.

Fan Xian was stunned. With a hint of mist, looking at the eldest lady of the Ye family who broke through the door, her eyes subconsciously moved from the light armor on her body to the familiar and pretty face, and her heart was slightly moved, knowing that the other party was indeed concerned about her own safety. It's just that......

"Looking at you like this, you want to swallow me alive more than the Hu people. He said with a sad face: "Princess, Hongcheng and I are not wearing clothes. You're not going to be in a hurry, are you?"

After entering the Qingzhou Military Office, they were covered in wind and sand, their whole body was sore, and they were extremely tired Fan Xian and Li Hongcheng relied on their own powerful position, and prepared two large buckets of hot water in the Ya Nei for the first time.

Ye Ling'er grew up in the Dingzhou Army since she was a child, and her temperament was very different from ordinary women, and when she heard Fan Xian's words, she found that Fan Xian and Li Hongcheng were stripped into naked pigs and shrunk in a big wooden barrel, especially these two people, with a deliberately shy look on their faces, which was very hateful.

She wasn't ashamed or annoyed, she just spat at her foot and turned around in a dashing manner.

......

......

The assassination of King Zuo Xian on the grassland, if something happens to the royal court, it will definitely fall into chaos. Li Hongcheng, as the head of the Qingguo Imperial Court military in Xilianglu, had to quickly inform Kyoto of this matter, and at the same time returned to Dingzhou to sit in the camp and deploy troops to deal with the latest changes in the situation on the grassland, so the next day, he left Qingzhou.

But Fan Xian stayed, not because of the good scenery in Qingzhou, not because of Ye Ling'er, but because he would wait for a few people to come back before he could really rest assured.

After a few days, Fan Xian mixed into the Central Plains caravan in the middle of it, and finally returned to Qingzhou City covered in dust, counting the time, the speed of this caravan was really fast. When the caravan returned, the road to the ground was not the same as the road that Fan Xian withdrew, but it was missed

Thrilling hunt and kill.

Seeing the safe return of this caravan, Fan Xian's mood relaxed, he had been very worried, because of the actions of the Supervision Courtyard, these merchants from the Central Plains would become the target of the Hu people's revenge. Unexpectedly, the Hu people were furious. Still able to resist not doing anything to the caravan. It seems that begonias have been educated on the grassland for the past two years. It is only about the future and the earth. It has affected a lot of people.

Followed by. One lost his cattle and sheep. A lonely shepherd who can't survive on the steppe. also entered Qingzhou City. It's just that no one knows. In this half year. This lonely shepherd. Playing a dumb servant who is used to lying on his back.

The shadow also returned safely. Fan Xian's heart was relieved, but Wang Shisanlang's kid has not heard from him. I don't know exactly what the situation is. It makes him very worried. This trip to the grassland is very ambitious. Although the Inspectorate is accustomed to using insidious means against all enemies. But any means requires a strong enforcer.

Now the land is idle. He's a powerful master in his own right. There is a shadow under him. If it weren't for these horrific killings. Even if he lured Begonia and Shan Yu away. It is also impossible to achieve the goals set by the Supervisory Yuan.

The royal court is located in the Northern Qi people, and the shadow is handled. And must die to the king of Zuoxian. Another strong man is needed. Fan Xian has always had a headache here, and there are only a dozen of the top masters in the world. Until much later. He tentatively sent an invitation to Wang Shisanlang through the way of Baoyue Tower.

Dadongshan afterwards. Wang Shisanlang has been serving the seriously injured and dying Sigu Sword in the Sword House of Dongyi City, but the Sigu Sword has been miraculously dragging and not dying, so Shisanlang has never appeared in front of people's eyes again. Although Fan Xian and Wang Shisanlang had an agreement two years ago. But he didn't know. Whether this agreement is valid now. So this invitation is just a temptation.

And Wang Shisanlang did not reply to this invitation word by word. He left Dongyi City very directly, came to Qingguo Kyoto, and found Fan Xian.

Fan Xian. Shadow. Wang Shisanlang, the three masters went deep into the grassland. Each has its own job. If you look at the execution represented by the top masters. Today's local supervision yuan is even more than when Chen Pingping was in power. Even more terrifying.

It is precisely because of the arrival of Wang Shisanlang. Fan Xian made up his mind. Into the grassland. Because this person's identity is too special. Fan Xian didn't want the palace to have too much suspicion about him. So he deliberately concealed his identity along the way. Just took him into the caravan. Then separate.

He still hadn't figured it out. Sigu Jian was beaten into a crippled idiot by Emperor Lao Tzu. Why is Wang Shisanlang still willing to continue the agreement that year. He didn't have time to think about it. He only hoped that Wang Shisanlang would assassinate Queen Xihu Zuoxian. Be able to return safely.

A few days later, Fan Xian finally waited for the news he had been waiting for for a long time. To be precise, everyone knew about Wang Shisanlang's return. Because it's not the same as the shadow land quietly returns. The thirteen apprentices of this sword house returned and alarmed the entire Qingzhou City.

The scorching sun hung high in the sky. Shining on Qingzhou City. The fierce autumn wind did not have any temper at all, and the blue bricks at the city gate seemed to be about to smoke, and a bloody man walked into the gate of Qingzhou City like this.

The soldiers of Qingzhou City looked at the bloody man vigilantly. Armed with a spear, he surrounded him, enveloped by the chill and murderous intent emanating from this bloody man. Fearful.

This person was wearing a Huren Skin, if it was said that more than 30 cuts were cut, it would still be considered a skin. Countless pieces of blood oozed out of the holes in those skins, congealing. Spread, smuggling his whole body.

I don't know how long this bloody man has been walking on the grassland, those bloody wounds have begun to fester, and flies and mosquitoes are flying around him. It looks strange and miserable.

The Qingzhou defenders didn't know who this person was, but they only knew. After being so seriously injured, he can still come out of the grassland, he must not be an ordinary person.

The man opened his eyes. His lips were full of blood blisters, and he said to the sergeants around him: "Tell Fan Xian that I promised him that the thing I promised him was done." ”

After receiving the news, Fan Xian rushed to it. He held him up, looked at the wounds on his body, and was full of chills, this time he was responsible for drawing out Shan Yu and Begonia. After all, it is impossible for Begonia to kill himself, and the shadow acts quietly, and the risk is not great. The real most difficult part is Wang Shisanlang's assassination of King Zuoxian.

Fan Xian didn't know how Wang Shisanlang killed the powerful Zuo Xian King in the Lian Hu camp, but he only knew that the other party's promise to him had been completed perfectly.

He hugged the fainted King Shisanlang, returned to the military office, and began to treat the warrior's injuries with a silent face, Ye Ling'er handed the needle knife behind him, his face was full of shock and curiosity, thinking to himself Who is this official of the Supervision Yuan who has been slashed more than 30 times? How can he survive like this?
