Chapter 22: Changes in Li Xidu
The sun had just receded, and when night began to fall, Li Xiju was rushing from Xicheng Lane to Dongcheng to negotiate with the demon clan, and he was accompanied by Wang Qian and Qin Shijie, who volunteered to follow, and the two brothers Zhang Tao and Wuda Wuli, the county lieutenants arranged by Liu or .

Before leaving, Liu Or thanked Li Xidu, and said: "Lord Changshi is here, but you can tell the demon clan that 30,000 catties of grain must be reduced to 10,000 catties before there is the possibility of peace, as for the five million gold coins can still be discussed, if the demon clan does not agree, Lord Changshi will return as soon as possible." ”
As soon as Li Xi decided to leave, Liu Or immediately summoned the county lieutenant Han Zhizhong and his son Liu Rushi and Nalander to issue combat orders.
"An hour later, Captain Han led three hundred soldiers to attack the demon clan in Dongcheng from Dabei Street, Liu Rushi and Nalan Xian's nephew took three hundred soldiers to raid from Huaxin Street, remembering that this battle is only to test the depth of the demon clan, not to love the war, and to evacuate as soon as it comes into contact. ”
As soon as the order was issued, he was immediately opposed by Liu Ruye, and he said: "Father, didn't Zhang Changshi go to negotiate with the demon clan, if we act rashly, it may put him in danger." ”
Liu Or glanced at his son and said disdainfully: "What does the stinky child know, do what I say." ”
He originally wanted his son Liu Ru to go with Li Xidu, but he was afraid that his son, who didn't know the depths, would not understand his true intentions, and it would be inconvenient for him to say, so he had to let the Wu brothers go.
The two countries are at war, do not kill the envoy, this is the custom, Li Xidui and others set off from Xicheng Lane, along the way, encountered many scattered demon clans, but most of them just saw Li Xidu's envoy flag from a distance and ignored it, even if they were wary, they came up and asked a simple question.
Two quarters of an hour later, they entered the eastern city, where they were received by the demon soldiers and escorted to meet the demon commander.
Dongcheng was already a mess at this time, under the night sky, there were fires everywhere, which was the result of the house being ignited, and the air filled with gunsmoke carried a strong smell of blood, and from time to time there were terrible screams in the ears, most of the people in Dongcheng were imprisoned in their own homes, not allowed to move around, and more were killed or buried in the fire.
Li Xiju walked all the way, looking at this human tragedy, his heart ached faintly, and he sighed again and again.
"The demon clan violated, the most beautiful thing is these innocent people, they have no quarrel with the world, but they suddenly suffered this catastrophe and died, you say, what is this for?"
The Wu brothers are usually high, where would they care about the life and death of these ordinary people, and they were guessing Liu He's actions in their hearts, and they were even more silent about it.
Zhang Tao, the county lieutenant, came from an ordinary background, but he resonated with this the most, and he said: "I hope that this trip can save them from the disaster." ”
Wang Qian, like Zhang Tao, felt much sympathy for these people who had suffered from the catastrophe, but he was clumsy in expressing his words, and could only express his grief with an angry expression and hateful eyes.
Only Qin Shijie was thinking about other things.
From beginning to end, his eyes were on Li Xidu's body, looking at the familiar faces in front of him, but there was an indescribable strangeness in his heart.
Li Xijue appeared with Zhang Tiansheng's face, Qin Shijie had seen it a long time ago, but five years later, he had not seen Li Xiju's true face, he had an impulse to take off Zhang Tiansheng's human skin and see how Li Xijue had changed.
Five years ago, Li Xidu gave him the impression that he was young and arrogant, impulsive and arrogant, and did not take anyone seriously, but now Li Xidu is cautious, and he shows more caution in handling things.
Qin Shijie didn't know if this change was good, but Li Xiju had indeed changed compared to five years ago.
In fact, if Qin Shijie could know all of Li Xidu's experiences in the past five years, then he would not be touched by Li Xidu's changes, because this change is just a person's growth, everyone will grow, and they will have a mature and stable personality one day, Li Xidu's is like this.
Speaking of Li Xidu's original character, it should start with when he came to this world, when he just came here from another dimension, and he happened to meet the legendary demon Su Ru, at this time he presented Li Xiju, a young and frivolous, reckless young man who did not understand the world.
At this time, Li Xiju was unruly, half of the reason was that he came from a different space, and the concept of being in another space was very heavy, and the other half was because of Su Ru's appearance, which made him feel like a fairytale-like experience, thinking that with Su Ru's help, he would be different, so he inevitably acted obediently and did not take anyone seriously.
But with the successive defeats, Li Xiju gradually realized that this world is not as simple as he imagined, from the moment he was mistaken for a demon cultivator and was hunted down by the academy, his thoughts were a little loose, but his personality has not changed, as can be seen from the fact that he went alone to save Man Xue.
When he arrived at the Demon Punishment Battlefield, he was still doing his own thing and pretentious in the early stage, which was evident from the contact with Ouyang Xue and Zhuge Si, but after experiencing many things later, Li Xiju was alert.
In fact, a person's experience determines the direction of his character, and Li Xiju's experience in the past five years is all sinister things, and it is no wonder that he has grown from a rebellious teenager to such a cautious young man today.
But there are some things in his personality that are difficult to change, Li Xiju has always been a person with good intentions, at the beginning of the Rest Academy, he could help Zhao Mosheng repair the ban of the Demon Suppression Palace regardless of his life, and later for the seal of the Demon Suppression Battlefield, he was also willing to stay, these are the evidence.
Today he can easily fall into the trap of Liu Or, not because of his recklessness and impulsiveness, but because of his good thoughts.
In fact, not only Qin Shijie didn't understand this, but even Li Xiju couldn't detect his growth.
Soon, Li Xijue and the others saw the leader of the demon soldiers, who was an extremely handsome young man, standing in front of a pile of corpses, showing a strange smile, and looking at Li Xidui and his party.
Li Xi couldn't imagine that the young man in front of him was the demon commander who killed hundreds of people in Dongcheng.
The young man was holding a torch in his hand, and when he saw Li Xiju and the others, he hurriedly threw the torch on the pile of corpses, turned around and left, and in an instant, the flames were all over the sky, and countless corpses were engulfed in flames, emitting a strong stench.
"Lord Changshi, I didn't expect us to meet so soon. The captain of the demon soldiers walked in front of Li Xiduan with a few demon soldiers who were two or three feet long.
Li Xiju arched his hand slightly: "Captain Ma, please stop killing the people, I am here to hope that you will stop the army." ”
Marco looked at the corpse in the flames and said with a smile: "None of this is for me to decide, Lord Changshi go and talk to Lord Commander, please." ”
Ma Keke led Li Xiju and the others through the corpse pile to a camp tent, the demon clan was accustomed to living in caves, disdainful of human houses, and preferred to set up their own tents outside.
Ma Keke stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Please go in alone." ”
Li Xijue's eyes shrank, and Qin Shijie and Wang Qian behind him had already pulled out the long sword in their hands, with a vigilant expression.
Ma Ke saw this, smiled slightly, and said, "What, Lord Changshi is afraid?"
