Chapter 217: The Messenger's Doubts
At this moment, Li Zijun, who is being watched and studied by Dongwoo's major shili, is getting closer and closer to Filano City.
After this period of travel, Li Zijun found that his body recovered unusually fast. In the past, he needed at least four or five hours of rest a day to maintain his strength, but now he can maintain his energy for the day by simply taking a nap on his horse.
Not only that, Li Zijun also noticed that the natural light can help him relieve fatigue. He didn't have to do anything, just stand quietly under the sun or moon for a while, and his fatigue would disappear. This feeling persisted even in the midst of his journey, but not as pronounced as when he was still standing.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the days were cloudy during this time, Li Zijun even felt that he could rush all the way to Filano City without stopping.
As a giant clan surviving in the mountains, the hardships of life have already trained him into a 'robot' who almost doesn't know how to rest, and after entering the Holy Order, his ability in this regard has become more prominent! On the way to the capital with Li Zijun, he even behaved more relaxed than Li Zijun. This also made Li Zijun secretly sigh that he was lucky to be able to get the general of the giant clan, Baldwin!
The main means of livelihood of the Night Elves in the Youlan Continent is assassination, and as an elder, Fan Lunding is naturally a leader in this skill. To be a good assassin, in addition to having great strength, you must also have extraordinary planning ability, extraordinary courage and stamina.
In addition, the elven race's ability to communicate with other creatures also gave Elder Van Lunding an advantage in his hurry. He just had to say a few words to his mount, and his mount would follow him closely, and in the process, he didn't have to worry about his mount being too bumpy or turning too sharply to throw him off, so his energy was greatly reserved. This also made Van Lunding follow the team unhurriedly.
'Monkey' had just entered the ranks of the Senior Swordsman, and his strength was much weaker than that of Bodwin and Van Lunding, but due to his long career as a horse thief, he had developed a set of abilities that could rest at any time. Although he could not communicate with his mount like Elder Van Lunding, he was able to use Superman's horsemanship and rest on the back of a galloping horse like Elder Van Lunding. Not only that, but what surprised Li Zijun and the others the most about 'Monkey' was that this guy was able to sleep while eating! His strange ability that he didn't know how to practice not only stunned others, but also ensured that he could always keep up with this swift team.
In contrast, the messenger sent by Virgil Bixia Feiqi was much inferior! It was a pity that he had been pondering a basket of words, ready to urge Li Zijun when he was delaying or hurrying slowly.
Before Feige set off, he was specially received by Virgil Bixia, the main purpose of which was to find a way to get Li Zijun to leave early and not delay too much time along the way.
In fact, even if Virgil Bixia didn't have such instructions, Feige would have done it. This is because, before Virgil Bixia received him, the person from the Criminal Department had already unexpectedly visited him!
This talker not only brought Fei Qi enough gifts for the 'blind man to see the light', but also gave him a promise: that is, as long as Li Zijun can go to Filano City every morning for a day than the appointed time, he can get a lot of wealth, and this wealth can be accumulated!
Those bigwigs were already driven crazy by the 'Blood Jade Ruyi' incident, and every day Li Zijun rushed to Filano City, it meant that they could relieve the pressure on them one day earlier. It is precisely for this reason that the person in charge of the Criminal Department offered such tempting conditions to Feiqi!
As a master at the level of a great sword master, his thirst for wealth may not be so strong, but being able to make the person in the criminal department owe him a favor is something that Fei Qi can't ask for.
Encouraged by this, Feige had already held back his strength before he set out from Ciudad Firano, and he rushed to the city of Salat almost day and night. His original plan was that even if he couldn't persuade Li Zijun to speed up the trip as he wished, he would buy more time for himself.
But what Fei Qi never expected was that Li Zijun actually set off with his guards on the day he arrived at Salat City! He only brought three guards, and he didn't mobilize any more people along the way, and they hurried faster than when he was alone!
At first, Fei Qi secretly snickered! After all, rushing back to the capital at such a speed, he could get a bounty from the boss of the Criminal Department, which was enough for him to retire now!
But it wasn't long before Feige couldn't laugh anymore. In his eyes, the three of Baldwin, Van Lunding, and 'Monkey' are simply three monsters with abnormal behavior! They seem to be resting all the time, and they seem to be alert to the surrounding situation all the time, and the slightest disturbance, the three of them will immediately make the most appropriate reaction to ensure that Li Zijun will not be the first to be attacked by the outside world.
At the beginning of Feiqi's departure, he tried to secretly test the strength of these three people, but soon Baldwin's toughness and Van Lunding's coldness forced him to retreat, and now he knew very well that these two people were by no means something that a beginner great swordsman like him could compete with!
Although the strength of the 'Monkey' is weaker than his, the 'Monkey''s ability in other aspects has also opened his eyes.
When it will be windy, when it will be cloudy, when it will rain, and when it will snow, the 'monkey' can make accurate predictions. In addition to these, the 'monkeys' can also determine the number of pedestrians on the road, what they have worn and hidden, which to a large extent, also ensures the safety of the whole team, or is not disturbed!
At this time, Fei Qi also understood that Li Zijun Weishenme only took the three of them and was relieved to go on the road, because it was enough to have the three of them!
If these three people have traces of Fei Qi, Li Zijun in front of him is a little confusing!
After this period of rushing, Li Zijun's baby fat has completely disappeared, and as the childishness disappears, he is tall and shows the handsomeness of some men. It's just that as a martial artist, he looks a little too thin, and with his unusually fair and delicate skin, I believe that those who don't know him, no one will think how powerful he is.
Initially, Fei Qi also thought so, he felt that the rumors might be too exaggerated, and he even suspected that Li Zijun's identity as the so-called Dongyu Sword Saint was not worthy of the name.
But he soon discovered the anomaly, first of all, Baldwin's attitude towards Li Zijun, which was by no means the proper performance of a high-ranking guard to a protector (Fei Qi always thought that Baldwin was only a master at the peak of the Great Sword Master), his every move was more like a student's heartfelt respect for his master!
As the most powerful of the three, Baldwin's performance was too humble for Feige to understand.
Next, Li Zijun's observation also amazed Feiqi, and every time he ordered the team to stop and rest, it was the moment when the messenger felt that he was going to hold on.
Once or twice may be a coincidence, but each time it is like this, Fei Qi himself has to accept this slightly scary reality, that is, Li Zijun can clearly grasp his physical condition.
This discovery made Fei Qi pay more attention to Li Zijun, and it didn't take long for him to find out that Li Zijun was actually the one with the least rest in the team!
Once, when Fei Qi woke up at night, he unexpectedly saw Li Zijun with his back to him, looking up at the moonlight in the courtyard. Looking at the clothes on his body, he doesn't seem to have rested all the time, but he still looks so radiant!
After this discovery, Fei Qi gradually noticed that Li Zijun liked to look up at the sky, especially when the sun or moon hung in the sky, and he gave up a lot of rest time for this, but he never showed a trace of fatigue in front of others.
Could it be that basking in the sun and looking at the moon can restore physical strength? Fei Qi himself felt a little funny about himself having such a question, but this also made him more and more curious about Li Zijun! Finally, one day, Fei Qi decided to try Li Zijun's true strength.
As a martial artist, of course he had heard of Li Zijun's almost miraculous brilliant deeds, and although he couldn't fully believe it, he didn't dare to act rashly against Li Zijun. Because he knew very well that if everything in the legend was true, the moment he shot at Li Zijun, it would be equivalent to putting himself in the magic array leading to the underworld, and his soul would leave this shijie in an instant!
Not only that, but his own family will be wiped out because of his intention to assassinate the Grand Duke! Such an outcome would not dare to be tried by Feige no matter what.
Feiqi's idea was to take advantage of Li Zijun's moment of paying attention to the sky, and quietly approached a relatively safe position beside him.
Soon, such an opportunity appeared! In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, Feige first took off all the weapons on his body and put them aside.
Fei Qi looked at Li Zijun's back and was about to start. At this moment, he suddenly felt that a flower appeared in front of him, and Li Zijun disappeared in front of him!
Before Feige could figure out what was going on, all of a sudden, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.
"Mr. Feiqi, hurry up and rest, we will continue to hurry after dawn!" Li Zijun's voice came to Feiqi's ears clearly and unhurriedly.
Fei Qi stood in place stupidly, although he completely heard Li Zijun's command, but he still didn't dare to move, he had a feeling of being a human being in two lives at this time!
It's terrible! Fei Qi was slapped on the shoulder without even seeing Li Zijun's shadow, he had never seen such lightning-fast skills! If Li Zijun really wanted his life, he was afraid that he would not be able to figure out the reason for his death until he died!
As a high-level martial artist, Fei Qi has a deep understanding of martial arts, and he knows very well that this kind of speed can no longer be explained simply by the word 'fast', which is definitely the embodiment of comprehensive strength!
At this moment, Fei Qi finally understood that Patrick Weishenme respected Li Zijun so much, which was clearly a martial artist's heartfelt admiration for the strongest!
