Chapter 197: The Fairy in White
While fighting with the fat monk, Li Jiangyao paid attention to the movements on Lian Ji's side, and suddenly saw a mysterious man in white flying out of the shadows and easily shot down the hidden weapon that Lian Ji shot at this side, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
His mind moved, and after a few more moves with the monk opposite, he slashed with the scabbard, then dodged and retreated, shouting: "Stop!" ”
The fat monk just now was in the middle of the competition, and his shot was very measured, and at this time, he heard Li Jiangyao propose to stop the battle, so he swung the crescent moon shovel horizontally, took half a step back, and loudly pronounced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, why don't you fight?" ”
Li Jiangyao also had to make a truce.
On the one hand, he found that the other party's martial arts were extremely high, whether it was a fat monk or a man in white, if he picked any one out, he might not be able to win the battle, and it was unwise to continue to fight.
What's more, this monk who fought against him practiced pure Xuanmen exercises, and left room everywhere, giving birth step by step, and did not mean to kill the killer, obviously not an evil demon or a murderer.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the two sides have misunderstood.
On the other hand, there are still more than a dozen secret agents of the Reverse Scale Division hidden in the courtyard next door, in case the fierce battle here lasts for a long time, and they are provoked to come out to help and expose their identities, it will be a big loss.
Li Jiangyao put the Xingluo knife on his shoulder and said with a smile: "I don't know the two of you, and I have no grudges, so why fight?" Excuse me, who are you? ”
Hearing this, the man in white turned his head and sneered, "I still want to ask who you are?" Why did you live in Murong Xue's house? ”
Li Jiang looked at the other party from afar, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: Heavenly immortals descend to earth! The man in white turned out to be a beautiful girl!
Seeing Li Jiangyao's stunned appearance, Lian Ji was angry, and said angrily below: "You break into people's houses at night, you are clearly traitors and thieves!" Dare to bite back? ”
"Amitabha, this female benefactor, please accumulate some virtue." The monk said: "Lao Gao is a monk, his legal name is Huidian, and he never does things like chickens and dogs. ”
Li Jiangyao has been in the military for a long time, although he is strong in martial arts, he is not familiar with the rivers and lakes, so he didn't pay much attention to the monk's name. However, Lian Ji asked in disbelief, "Hui Dian? Are you the demon mad monk of Songshan Zen Monastery, Master Hui Dian? ”
"Good, good, it's the old man," Master Huidian nodded slightly: "This is my companion, the young owner of Xianxia Villa, Miss Xiahou." ”
The beauty in white was none other than the Flying Immortal Sect Sect Master who made Prince Li Bingchao think about it, Xiahou Ninghan.
It turned out that the monk Huidian was entrusted by Xiahou Ninghan to escort Li Bing to Bianzhou, and later at the kind invitation of Xie Guang, he was ready to stay in Xingyuan and participate in the ceremony of watching the river sacrifice. But it didn't come to pass, this excitement was not seen yet, but the whole Bianzhou was in a mess first.
Without warning, a large number of Xuanjia troops marched into the city of Bianzhou, occupied various communication arteries, and imposed martial law on the entire city. Immediately afterwards, the governor of the river was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, and all the court officials and guests who lived in it were also driven away.
Among these people were Hui Dian and the twenty warrior monks under him.
The old monk looked confused, and wanted to go to the prince to ask what was going on here. Unexpectedly, Li Bing didn't see the guests at all, and the people standing guard outside were not the familiar guards before, but were replaced by wolf-like Xuanjia Army soldiers.
Seeing this, Hui Dian knew that something was wrong, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very likely to fall into a crisis again. Although he had the heart to sneak in, try to visit Li Bing, and even rescue him, it was a pity that the strength of the Xuanjia Legion was not something that their twenty or so warrior monks could shake.
After thinking about it, Hui Dian decided to apply oil on the soles of his feet first, leave Bianzhou, the land of right and wrong, as soon as possible, and wait until he went back to find Xiahou Ninghan and discuss countermeasures before making plans.
So, he asked his disciples to return to Songshan, and he ran all the way, hurriedly ran back to Xianxia Villa, and told Xiahou Ninghan everything that happened in Bianzhou City.
As soon as the Flying Immortal Sect Master of Hui Zhi Lanxin heard this, he immediately made a very accurate judgment: Prince Li Bing was placed under house arrest by Xie Guang.
Although it is not clear what happened for the time being, Murong Xue did not greet Hui Dian in time, which is enough to show that the situation at that time was extremely urgent, and even he didn't have time to react at all.
After careful consideration, Xiahou Ninghan decided to go to Bianzhou with Hui Dian in person to find an opportunity to rescue Li Bing and Murong Xue. However, not long after the two of them set off, they heard that the crown prince had returned to Luoyi, and would soon ascend the throne and officially start a war with the imperial capital.
This surprising news made Xiahou Ninghan even more convinced that Li Bing and Murong Xue were in a very dangerous situation now, and she and the old monk Huidian did not dare to delay, so they hurriedly turned around and rushed to the eastern capital, and happened to arrive today.
After the two of them entered the city smoothly, they inquired as they went, found someone to ask Murong Xue's address, and came to investigate at night, hoping to gain something. Unexpectedly, as soon as the old monk Huidian landed on the roof of the house, Li Jiangyao in the room noticed the movement, and then without saying a word, he fought directly.
At this time, Hui Dian clarified their identities, and Xiahou Ning said coldly: "We are friends with the owner of this mansion, the prince of the East Palace, Zhan Shi Murong Xue. Who are the two of you? Why are you here? ”
Because Li Jiangyao hadn't fully figured out the details of the other party, he didn't want to easily reveal his identity, so he pointed to Lianji and introduced: "This little lotus girl is Murong Zhanshi's sister-in-law, and she came here specifically to join her sister and brother-in-law. My surname is Li and I am a friend of hers. ”
"What friend?" Lian Ji interjected: "He's my Langjun!" ”
Hearing this, Li Jiangyao was suddenly a little stunned: Oh my God! Why is this woman so crazy? How dare you talk nonsense? When will I become her husband?
Without waiting for him to explain further, Xiahou Ning smiled coldly: "Even if you are Murong Xue's sister-in-law, if you encounter a stranger visiting you at night, you should ask about the identity of the other party and make a plan." Why did you use such a vicious secret weapon as soon as you shot just now? If I'm not mistaken, your throwing knife is poisonous, right? ”
Although the use of poison is quite common in the rivers and lakes, it is often limited to people who are on the sidelines, or a family of doctors and heroes who have been inherited for a long time and have both medicine and poison. Ordinary righteous path disciples are respectful of poison arts.
Especially the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism that practice the authentic exercises of Xuanmen, they pay attention to leaving a glimmer of life for others everywhere, and they will not easily kill their opponents, so they are extremely disgusted with this kind of poison-quenching weapon used by Lian Ji.
Facing Xiahou Ninghan's questioning, Lian Ji was about to ridicule her, Li Jiangyao hurriedly rushed in front of her and responded: "Miss Xiahou doesn't know, Xiaolian's sister and brother-in-law are now under house arrest in the palace by the Xuanjia Army, because she is worried about the safety of her family, and she has to always beware of traitors, so she is a little reckless when she shoots, and I hope the two of you will forgive you for the offense." ”
He paused and made a gesture of please: "Since you are all friends of Lord Murong, then please come to the house to talk." In the middle of the night, the roof is really not a good place to chat. ”
Xiahou Ninghan and Hui Dian glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then floated to the ground. That elegant figure, against the backdrop of the dark night, really looks like an ordinary fairy.
Li Jiangyao was slightly stunned, and immediately rolled down the eaves with a somersault. He was about to step forward to guide Xiahou Ninghan and the others, but was suddenly grabbed by Lian Ji from the side: "I can warn you, don't use your pair of thief eyes to stare at that little goblin up and down again!" ”
"I ...... Hey, what kind of vinegar are you eating? Li Jiangyao muttered helplessly.
The four of them sat down in the study, Xiahou Ninghan kept looking at Li Jiangyao, and before he could say a few polite greetings, he suddenly asked, "The late He Jingming and He Da Commander, who are you?" ”
This strange move was outstanding, which surprised Li Jiangyao a lot, and the idea of not wanting to easily reveal his identity immediately became shaky. He hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Uh, Great Commander He...... It's mine, my mentor. ”
Xiahou Ninghan nodded and continued: "You just said that your surname is Li? ”
“…… Yes, it's surnamed Li. ”
"It's called Li Jiangyao?"
"That's right, under Li Jiangyao'......"
"Oh—who am I?" Xiahou Ninghan looked disdainful, and his words were sarcastic: "It turns out that it is really the world-famous Metasequoia Baron, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Li Jiangyao was embarrassed, and at the same time asked in surprise: "How did Miss Xiahou guess that I have something to do with Commander He?" ”
Xiahou Ninghan shook his head gently, and then snorted coldly: "He Jingming is the leader of a generation of heroes, and it is already embarrassing to be in misfortune. Unexpectedly, the apprentices he taught were even more unbearable, which is a pity. If you ask me how I guessed it, I might as well tell you that my father and Commander He have been old friends for many years, so I am very familiar with his old man's Starfall Knife Technique. ”
Li Jiangyao was sarcastically ridiculed by her face-to-face, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and aggrieved, but for a while, he didn't know where to start, let alone how to explain, so he had to be depressed and silent.
didn't think about it, but Lian Ji hugged him on the side and said, "What do you know? He is Baron Metasequoia, did you see it with your own eyes? Or did Ashina tell you personally? Don't you know that the Turks play that tricks and tricks are specifically aimed at people like you? Oh, what the enemy says, you believe it, why are you so well-behaved? Do you like to listen to your enemies? Hearsay, everyone is the same, are you embarrassed to pretend to be so righteous and awe-inspiring, is it amazing? ”
