Chapter Eighty-Nine: Westward Expansion
Sending away his daughter Li Jingtian, Li Xiangping was uneasy in his heart, like a man's back, he always couldn't settle down when practicing on the couch, and after several unsuccessful attempts, Li Xiangping finally got up and spoke, and said in a deep voice:
"Someone!"
Chen Donghe had been wearing armor and guarding in front of the tent, and when he heard the sound, he entered the tent and responded:
"The head of the house."
"What did the scouts find?"
Chen Donghe shook his head and replied:
"No, I didn't."
"It's been an hour since Ikawaguchi sent a report, right? Call someone back and ask. ”
Li Xiangping shook his head, watched Chen Donghe go down, and thought in his heart:
"Jia Nixi only attacked the enemy the day before yesterday, so why don't you go east today? How can there be such a reason, all the soldiers and horses under his command are not dead or tired? Besides, the mountains to the west are full of spies that I have laid out, and there is no reason for not being silent. ”
got up and put on his armor, looking at the blazing brazier, Li Xiangping's eyes reflected the red firelight, and his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said badly.
"This person has fought in the northern foothills for more than ten years, and has won many battles, I'm afraid that he can't deal with common sense, so he should cross the soldiers and horses back to the river first."
As soon as the long knife in his hand was closed, Li Xiangping picked up the green black bow and commanded loudly:
"Drumming!"
Suddenly, a herald went down, and the drums were beating, causing an uproar, and Li Xiangping walked out of the camp tent when he met Chen Donghe in a hurry.
"Head of the house!"
Chen Donghe stepped forward, his voice was full of shock, and he whispered in Li Xiangping's ear:
"The head of the house! The mouth of the pear river has been controlled by Yamakoshi, and all the people sent have been killed, and there are two or three thousand soldiers and horses stationed on the other side of the river, and several pontoon bridges have been destroyed, and the back road has been cut off! ”
These words were like thunder on the ground, Li Xiangping was shocked at the moment, he was stunned for two breaths and did not speak, the long knife in his hand was suddenly clenched, squeaked, and his five fingers turned white.
"Hasn't the news been heard?"
Chen Donghe hurriedly shook his head and lowered his voice:
"No, my subordinates blocked the news and didn't dare to let everyone know, for fear of shaking the morale of the army."
Exhaling deeply, Li Xiangping muttered:
"Go and regroup."
Chen Donghe retreated with a solemn face, while Li Xiangping closed his eyes and silently calculated.
"It is impossible to use these 1,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river to the east to recapture the mouth of Lichuan, and it is impossible for Jia Nixi to only bring these 2,000 soldiers and horses here, and he is practicing qi cultivation to ......"
"Jia Ni Xi broke the enemy army, and immediately rushed to attack, the rear must be unstable, it is better to go west to test, every moment you stay here, the more dangerous it is!"
Li Xiangping paced slowly, walked to the back of the tent, looked at the high grain pile, carefully calculated for a while, the storage bag on his waist rose, and the mountains of rice grain and beans all flowed into the bag on his waist.
Walking up to the soldiers, Li Xiangping took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and spit out two words in a loud voice:
"Go West!"
A large number of soldiers and horses rose up one after another, and the 800 tribesmen and 200 Shanyue soldiers made a total of 1,000 people, and they did not look back and burrowed into the forest to the west.

Jia Nixi's soldiers and horses stepped into the boundary of Lijing Village, and their qi cultivation was undoubtedly exposed, awakening Lu Jiangxian, and his divine sense swept from top to bottom, and he secretly said in his heart:
"It seems that Naga Nixi has already controlled Lichuankou, and he is going east to take Lijing Town."
When his divine sense expanded to the limit, Lu Jiangxian immediately found a few people from the Li family.
Li Tongya and his wife Liu Rouxuan were swinging on the reeds, collecting the clear qi in the river that broke through the practice of qi for the third brother Li Xiangping, and the two pinched the magic trick and waited for the moment when the clear qi went up and the turbidity went down at dawn.
Li Xuanxuan and Li Xuanfeng finished eliminating the demon in the Li Daokou in the west and pacifying the injured people in the village.
Tian Yun and Ren on Lijing Mountain were sitting around the fire chatting, the two were getting older, especially when Ren was in his forties, and he couldn't sleep well.
Li Jingtian leaned against the window, a pair of round eyes looked into the distance worriedly, the breeze in the middle of the night slowly raised her black hair, and Li Xuanling beside her obediently slept on the collapse.
Although the visual sense saw all the monks of the Li family, Lu Jiangxian's divine sense could only wander within the scope of Lijing Town, and after thinking for a while, he pinched an illusion and reflected it in the mind of Li Xuanling, who was on the ground.
Lu Jiangxian's divine sense far exceeded the spiritual sense of an ordinary monk, not to mention that Li Xuanling was just a little monk with a second-layer inheritance wheel in front of him, and he took over Li Xuanling's dream realm smoothly at the moment.
————
"Click."
Li Xuanling heard a piercing sound of broken porcelain in a daze, woke up from his dream, sat up sweating profusely, and stared blankly at the empty windowsill.
A pair of tender white soft wattles were carefully picking up the fragments of tea utensils on the ground, and Li Jingtian said apologetically and softly:
"Ling'er, I'm arguing with you."
Li Xuanling's face was covered in sweat, and he suddenly came to his senses when he was agitated by the cold wind, and replied dryly:
"Sister, I dreamed of it...... There were so many dead people, and Jia Nixi defeated his uncle, led his soldiers up the mountain, and killed many people in his family. ”
Li Jingtian's expression became more and more worried, Li Xuanling's words hit the knot in her heart that had not slept all night, and she barely squeezed out a smile and comforted Li Xuanling softly.
Li Xuanling nodded his head without a match, thought silently for a few breaths, and muttered:
"I'm going to pee."
After saying that, he slipped out of bed, crossed the threshold, bypassed Li Jingtian's field of vision, and quietly walked to the backyard.
When he entered the backyard, he saw a lonely broken wooden chair in the middle, Li Xuanling pursed his lips and remembered Li Mutian.
Pushing the door open with force, Li Xuanling smelled the strong scent of sandalwood, the candlelight was dim, and in the faint light, he saw the cold and tall stone platform, and the blue-gray Xiaojianzi above was flowing with pale white moonlight.
He stood on tiptoe, walked through the slightly cold moonlight with his hands, and carefully picked up the magic book, only to find that this magic weapon was warm and comfortable to use.
Recalling his father's words, Li Xuanling picked up the Fa Jian in his hand and said seriously:
"Li Xuanling, a disciple of the Li family, looks up to Xuanze, respectfully asks Xuanming to make a mysterious method, to show the Taiyin Xuanguang, to punish the evil and rebellious, and to destroy the filthy demons!"
Lu Jiangxian nodded silently and let go of his vision, Li Xuanling suddenly felt that he was flying into the air lightly, flying into the air extremely high, quietly looking down at Lijing Town under his feet.
The night moon is peaceful, Lijing Town is sleeping in the dreamland, Li Xuanling looked far away, but saw the Lichuan Pass in the distance but full of Shanyue with broken hair and tattoos, and even two teams of Shanyue soldiers wearing leather armor are coming south, looking at its direction, pointing straight to Lijing Town, the purpose is self-evident.
Li Xuanling suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, shook his head, and finally fell out of perspective, stuffed the magic book in his hand into his arms, and hurriedly rushed out of the backyard.
