Chapter 43: Coming to the Castle

Zhang Erye is fishing on the river.

After recovering from his injuries, the dragon king of the river often fished on the river, often watched the construction of the dam from afar, and often drank with some mud-legged men on the bamboo rafts on the river.

A small boat approached his boat at a very fast speed, and a man with a grim face bowed to him and said a few words.

Then Zhang Erye knew that the most meaningful moment of his life had arrived.

So he picked up a handful of river water, drank it all in one gulp, and then followed the person with a cold face to leave Xizi River and Donggang Town as fast as he could.

......

The northernmost point of Yunqin, after the Four Seasons Plain, in the Dengtian Mountains.

Tong Wei walked through a long grass field and walked into the bamboo building where Xu Shengmo lived alone.

Xu Shengmo is watering the flowers.

"I can't believe you still like flowers. Tong Wei said slightly coldly as if he knew Xu Shengmo for the first time.

Xu Shengmo glanced at Tong Wei coldly, "Except for disliking some people, I like many other things." ”

Tong Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm just here to bet on one thing with you." ”

"I know you want to come and bet on Lin Xi with me. Xu Shengmo put down the kettle, faced Tong Wei, and said sarcastically: "You want to bet with me, Lin Xi will win, and then prove that many of my views and opinions are wrong, let me change some of my minds, but I think you have made the most basic things wrong." ”

Tong Wei said expressionlessly: "What is the most basic thing I mistaken?"

"I hate Lin Xi, just because Lin Xi is the most favored student of your school, the better he is, the more unhappy I will be. Even if he is so strong that even I am easily knocked to the ground by him, I will stick to my point of view, maybe with our means and teaching methods, he will become stronger faster, instead of facing the enemy with so much worse cultivation as he does now. Xu Shengmo snorted coldly: "As for you, I have always hated you, just because when we were going through the training, you told me about being hit by an arrow in the ass, and you also made a sound, so that all our classmates knew about it at that time." ”

Tong Wei was stunned.

This was a completely unexpected answer.

"You're also a little bit like this..." He couldn't help but be a little speechless, just like being speechless when asked by Lin Xi's questions many times.

"How long have I been laughed at, how long have I been stared at in the ass? It's a small thing for you, but it's enough to make me hate you. Xu Shengmo looked at Tong Wei coldly and said, "But no matter how much I hate you and how I have teaching disputes with you, you have to make the most basic point clear, I have never hated this academy." ”

Tong Wei looked at him, nodded, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out, but when he walked to the door, he paused, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for what happened back then." ”

"Idiot. Xu Shengmo muttered expressionlessly, and no longer paid attention to Tong Wei.

......

......

On an uninhabited island in the Falling Star Lake, on a charcoal fire, a marching iron pot was boiling, a pot of fish soup was boiled, and several water birds in the lake were roasted on the fire next to it.

Xu Qiubai sat in front of this fire.

There were already a lot of fish bones and bird bones piled up next to the fire, and he was carefully smearing a layer of golden grease on each arrow.

This kind of grease is produced in Tang Zang, through some caravans of Tang Zang and Yun Qin, introduced to Biluoling, after the metal arrows are polished with this grease, the surface will become smoother, and when flying in the air, the wind resistance can be further reduced, which will make the speed and power of the arrows more amazing.

Most of Xu Qiubai and Bi Luoling's subordinates who had heard of Cangyue had almost the same growth trajectory, and they all slowly climbed up from the lowest soldiers.

The biggest difference between this kind of cultivator and the academy cultivators from all the academies of the empire is that they are more able to fight, and they know how to survive better.

Because at the bottom, when the strength is very poor, if you want to survive the brutal battle, you must master more means and skills, and you must be more careful.

Before, he had already checked the corpses of several reckless generals who had been assassinated by Lin Xi, and from those arrow wounds, he had already judged that Lin Xi was at most close to the cultivation of the middle level of the national warrior, and the cultivation of his peak of the great division was far away, but he still did not have the slightest carelessness, and still prepared himself and his bow and arrow to the best state.

......

The eyes of the entire Yunqin Empire were gathered on the Falling Star Mausoleum.

Time passes day by day.

More and more Yunqin people knew that Lin Xi had arrived at the Falling Star Tomb, and this battle was already imperative, and as the day of this duel approached, the vast majority of Yunqin people were becoming more and more nervous.

However, no matter what anyone's mood is, the day of this duel is still inevitable.

"What kind of bow and arrow did the academy let you bring to Lin Xi?"

On the upper floor of the Falling Star Mausoleum City in the morning light, Dushan Zi, who was only wearing a black single robe, couldn't help but look at Gao Yanan beside him and asked.

Behind Dusk Mountain Purple stood five huge black drums, with raised golden dragon patterns on the black leather drum surface.

Gao Yanan couldn't help but sneer when he heard Dushan Zi's question: "Dusk Shanzi, didn't you claim to be watching how Lin Xi died? You pretended to be indifferent for the past few days, how come today, you finally can't help it, and you want to ask me about this bow and arrow?"

Twilight Mountain pursed her lips, "I'll just ask casually, if I don't say it, I won't say it, anyway, I can see it directly soon." ”

Gao Yanan only felt that among all the classmates, this Dusk Mountain Purple was the most unbeatable, but the most fun, so she didn't say anything, just smiled.

Dusk Shan Zi said in a casual tone with indifference: "Bows and arrows that save soul power and are powerful don't exist in this world, right? ”

"You're right. Gao Yanan nodded.

Twilight Mountain Zi frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Then could it be that the academy brought Lin Xi some powerful, impenetrable armor?"

Gao Yanan glanced at Dushan Zi, who was thinking about the reason and had obviously been entangled for several days, "Why don't you wear armor today?"

Dusk Shan Zi was stunned: "Wearing armor and beating drums consumes more physical strength, and..."

"That's the same thing. Gao Yanan glanced at Dushan Zi, who was somewhat understood and paused, and said, "Wearing heavy armor, how can you complete the shooting extremely quickly? And even if it doesn't hinder it, your hands must be exposed in order to control the strings accurately." For an opponent like Xu Qiubai, you have countless shootable flaws on your body, and only two or three flaws are exactly the same, there is no difference. ”

Twilight Mountain Zi was suddenly deflated, and said a little speechlessly: "Not bad... Even if he takes another 10,000 steps, he can really be covered with armor that the opponent's arrows can't penetrate, and if it doesn't affect any of Lin Xi's movements, the opponent's arrows can seriously injure Lin Xi alive with the force of collision alone. Because the other party naturally can't only shoot one arrow. ”

Gao Yanan just glanced at him and didn't speak.

"Both sides are archers, and what they did before was to assassinate the opposing general's with arrows, so the duel must have started hundreds of steps apart. Dusk Shanzi couldn't help but scratch her hair, and said in extreme depression: "It doesn't seem that bows and arrows will work, and neither can armor, so what can Lin Xi do to kill the other party?"

Gao Yanan shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

Twilight Yama's eyes widened suddenly: "You don't know, so who else knows?"

Gao Yanan glanced at him, "Only he knows." ”

Twilight Mountain Purple was completely speechless for a moment.

He waited for a long time before he looked at Gao Yanan and said, "It seems that this time maybe he really saw him die... No, I was supposed to watch him die, so maybe it's... Forget it, I asked so many questions that I don't know, just ask a question that you must know, Gao Yanan, what are you doing with such a solemn dress today?"

Gao Yanan is wearing a purple gold silk embroidered lady's dress today, which is very solemn and gorgeous, which is indeed very different from her usual simple and simple dress.

Although he knew that Dushan Zi's question was just to kill the irritability of waiting, Gao Yanan still answered his question seriously and coldly: "In our Yunqin, sacrifices, marriages, and revenge... These are very solemn questions. ”

What Gao Yanan said naturally meant revenge, and Dusk Mountain Zi could naturally understand it, but he still slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Oh, I know, you are married, for fear that Lin Xi will die, you have to marry him first..."

"Dusk Shan Zi, do you want to be bored to this extent?" Twilight Purple said, interrupted by Gao Yanan, who was a little speechless.

"No way. Twilight Purple suddenly looked a little sad, muttered a foul word, and then said softly, "I'm a little nervous." ”

In the morning light, a layer of sweat appeared on Dushan Zi's forehead.

Gao Yanan's palms were also fine beads of sweat.

All the sergeants in the Falling Star Mausoleum were also waiting silently and nervously, and many of their vests were also soaked with sweat from inexplicable nervousness.

However, they found that Gu Yunjing, the great general who had been in the Falling Star Mausoleum before, seemed to have disappeared into the city today.

The daylight gradually became brighter, dispelling all the mist on the lake of Falling Stars.

On the beautiful lake in the distance, a floating bamboo appeared.

On the floating bamboo, there is a tall and domineering figure.

Xu Qiubai, as promised, came down to the Falling Star Mausoleum City.

There were many white waterfowl on the lake, but after this floating bamboo appeared, these white waterfowl all flew away in fright, and they did not dare to fall easily when they flew far away.

Because although Xu Qiubai just stood on the floating bamboo and did not move, and used his soul power to make the floating bamboo, his body exuded an extremely terrifying, corpse mountain and sea of blood.

This is the breath that only people who have experienced countless battle formations will naturally exude.

In any previous assassination, Xu Qiubai had hidden all his momentum, but now, this was not an assassination, but a duel in the light, so he didn't have to hide it.

He himself is the general who has experienced the most battles in the entire Biluo Tomb.

So at this moment, the breath on his body made him come as if he was carrying a sea of blood, as if he was carrying an army full of blood.

Coming to the city!
