In the south-central part of the Dayue Dynasty, this place was a vast plain, sparsely populated, and a town could be vaguely seen in the distance to the south.

"Click......

The sound of horses' hooves came from a hurry, but I saw four flying horses galloping, bringing up a road of smoke and dust, with one horse as the center, and the other three horses were in the posture of arching and guarding, and were running towards the town in the south.

Zhang Tianxi is the middle of the ride, half a year apart, he once had a little bit of civility was also covered by the vicissitudes and perseverance on his face, and he was originally well-groomed, but now he has a messy beard.

The three riders who traveled with them were naturally Sha Xuehong, Liu Qianfang, and Lu Yinglong, and they more or less left traces of wind and frost on their bodies.

"Your Majesty, not far ahead, you will go out of the plain, and when you arrive at the border city of Xuanlian Mansion, the person who responds should be there!"

Sha Xuehong tried to be as loud as possible, because the sound of the horse breaking the wind could easily drown out his voice.

Lu Yinglong was still carrying his red dragon bow on his back, and said with an annoyed expression: "How can this group of hanging tails still chase after you, they have all come out of the Shenglei Mansion boundary for two hours, and the horses are almost exhausted." ”

Not far from the rear, the sound of horses' hooves is loud, and it is faintly visible that there is a banner waving, and the momentum is magnificent, at least no less than a hundred horses.

Since escaping from Chenghua Mansion, Han Hui has secretly sent countless spies and killers to find the whereabouts of Zhang Tianxi and his party, and issued rewards to each prefecture for wanting.

It's best to catch it alive, and if you can't catch it, you can take the corpse to receive the reward.

Although Han Hui's scope of power was greatly reduced after leaving Chenghua Mansion, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and under his heavy rewards, most of the princes of the mansion would not mind sending some people to fall into the ground.

Zhang Tianxi and his entourage had already known this information, so they had already lost the cover of the Yellow Wolf Army and gave up the idea of returning to Liu Bin's base camp Wuxian Pass, because it would have to pass through several cities, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be discovered.

But at the time of the dilemma, Zhang Tianxi's master, Chu Moli, the head of the twelve immortals of the Pure Determination Dojo, spread the word to his disciples with his unique exercises, asking him to rush to the border city of Xuanlian Mansion within half a year no matter what, and someone would help him.

Half a year seems like a long time, but for them who have to deal with the search of various provinces and try their best to find a path to get through, this journey from south to north seems extremely difficult.

Fortunately, with Sha Xuehong, a scheming military advisor, the four of them worked as a camp step by step, although they had to wander for a long time in the temporary place of residence every time, but they walked slowly all the way, and miraculously did not reveal their whereabouts.

A day ago, they crossed the last pass before arriving at Xuanlian Mansion, the Panyun Fortress of Shenglei Mansion, but unexpectedly, not far from the fortress, an iron cavalry began to chase after them, and they have been chasing them until now.

Sha Xuehong asked herself that it was impossible for him to leak the news under his plan, but in the face of the pursuit of this iron horseman, they didn't dare to stop and ask the reason, and the border city of Xuanlian Mansion was close in front of them, so they could only rush forward with a breath in their breath at this time.

After chasing and catching up, after a period of time, Liu Qianfang, who had been silent before, suddenly grabbed the reins and said, "They have withdrawn, and they should not come again." ”

As soon as he said this, the other three also stopped their horses and looked back, and the cavalry team that had been with great fanfare before had long since disappeared.

"Finally gone," Lu Yinglong let out a sigh of relief and said, "The front is Xuanlian Mansion, and we have been walking for almost half a year, and I hope that the people who came to answer are still waiting for us." ”

Zhang Tianxi glanced at him, his face sank and said, "Hurry up." ”

With that, he pulled his horse forward again.

Liu Qianfang was the first to follow, but it was Sha Xuehong, who patted him when he passed by Lu Yinglong, and said lightly: "Teach you again, sometimes there are some things that you don't need to say." ”

Lu Yinglong shuddered, since he escaped from Chenghua Mansion with Zhang Tianxi, the person he feared the most was Sha Xuehong.

In the days when he first fled, Lu Yinglong, who had calmed down, sometimes regretted his decision, after all, his wife and children all lived in Chenghua Mansion, and it was difficult for him to ride a tiger at that time, and as soon as he left, it was estimated that his family would fall into the hands of Han Hui, and he was afraid that he would die.

His Lu family is not a family, and he doesn't have a few relatives in Chenghua Mansion, so he may not be able to punish his nine clans, but it is definitely more than enough to kill his family.

It's not okay to turn back, Zhang Tianxi also promised him to be a high-ranking official, but Lu Yinglong agreed, but he was always suspicious in his heart.

Indeed, Zhang Tianxi, the self-reliant emperor, now counts himself as the only three of them, even if he promises him gold and silver, I am afraid it will only be a pipe dream.

However, when he saw Zhang Tianxi and the "master" in his mouth, such as a ghostly method, at least in terms of ability, he was still convinced of him.

Moreover, his life-saving benefactor, Li Zhongdu, the commander of Jinyangmen, worked hard for them, and it is not difficult to guess that there should still be a lot of power behind Zhang Tianxi.

Thinking about it again, although Lu Yinglong had countless questions in his heart, he could only swear allegiance to Zhang Tianxi and call him His Majesty.

But what really made him start to be in awe of this power group from the bottom of his heart was Sha Xuehong.

Thinking about it, Lu Yinglong slightly sped up the mount under his crotch and opened up some distance from Sha Xuehong, he would rather walk side by side with Liu Qianfang, a guy who was so silent that it was terrible, than get closer to Sha Xuehong.

And this fear came from about five months ago, when the group fled not far from Chenghua Mansion and settled in an inn in a remote village in Tianqu Mansion to the north.

After dinner was eaten by the few people who hid their identities that day, Zhang Tianxi went back to the room on the second floor to rest, Liu Qianfang lived next door to him, and since Pei Shifeng died, he took over Zhang Tianxi's guard.

Lu Yinglong's degree of trust is obviously not as high as his, and he was arranged to live on the first floor, but just when he was about to go back to the room, he was stopped by Sha Xuehong and called to his room.

With the not-so-bright candlelight in the room, Sha Xuehong beckoned him to sit down.

Lu Yinglong was a little apprehensive, to be honest, he hated this mustachioed and sanctimonious guy in front of him, if he hadn't talked nonsense in front of Pang Wanji and other gods and martial guards that day, he would not have ended up like this.

He was unhappy in his heart, but he still said respectfully: "What is Mr. Zhang looking for me?"

Although he is how old Changsha Xuehong is, it is not an exaggeration to call him a gentleman in terms of Sha Xuehong's status as the second-in-command second only to Zhang Tianxi.

Sha Xuehong couldn't see any expression on her face, and asked, "General Lu changed to His Majesty, do you regret it?"

"No, no......" Lu Yinglong waved his hand again and again, he only said that Sha Xuehong was here to test his loyalty, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is majestic and strategic, and it will become a great atmosphere in the future, I am ......"

"Alright. Sha Xuehong interrupted him and asked, "If one day, Han Hui sends someone to ask you to sacrifice His Majesty's head, and he will reinstate you as an official, and you will not be blamed for the past, will you do it?"

"This ......" Lu Yinglong's hair stood upside down when he was asked, stood up from his seat, and said eagerly: "I have sworn allegiance to Your Majesty, if there is any betrayal, teach me that I will not die well if I thunder and thunder!"

"Don't be in a hurry to make a statement," Sha Xuehong sneered, his eyes seemed to have seen Lu Yinglong through.

"You have betrayed Han Hui once, and you are all working for people, isn't it the same for anyone?"

Sha Xuehong put one hand on Lu Yinglong's shoulder, put her head closer, and whispered in his ear: "If you betray, I won't blame you, but you were pulled into the gang by me, I am responsible, if there is a day, even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will definitely take off your head." ”

A scorching sensation came from his shoulder, and Lu Yinglong only felt that Sha Xuehong's hand weighed a thousand pounds, and his shoulder bones were about to shatter, and he almost knelt down.

"I just want you to believe it. Sha Xuehong said: "I definitely have this ability." ”

In an instant, the sense of oppression disappeared, and Lu Yinglong was shocked to realize that he was already sweating profusely, as if he had fought back and forth from before the ghost gate was closed.

He said with sincere fear: "Please Mr. Zhang believe me, I will do my best in the future, and I will die before and after the saddle for Your Majesty." ”

"Good. ”

Sha Xuehong suddenly put on a smiling face, stretched out her hand to hug Lu Yinglong, and said kindly: "General Lu and I will be our own people in the future, rest assured, Your Majesty is closest to me, if you have merit, I will report to Your Majesty, and he will definitely reward you." ”

There is no need to say too many cruel words, because Sha Xuehong knows very well that Lu Yinglong is not a stupid person.

As he expected, Lu Yinglong guessed the sound of his words clearly.

Zhang Tianxi listened to Sha Xuehong's words the most, which means that Sha Xuehong can give her wealth with a word, and she can also determine her life and death with a word.

Looking at the fear and jealousy in Lu Yinglong's eyes, Sha Xuehong understood that her goal had been achieved.

After seeing Lu Yinglong's extraordinary arrows, he decided that he was a usable material, but he was skeptical that Zhang Tianxi could completely subdue Lu Yinglong, so he used this method of planting fear to suppress the other party, so that he could obey his words in the future.

Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, Sha Xuehong has never mentioned anything similar to Lu Yinglong since then, he can already be sure that he has eaten the other party to death.

To this day, Lu Yinglong still has a chill down his spine when he recalls this incident, and in a trance, the four of them have traveled to the border city.

In front of the small town, which looks a little dilapidated, horses and carts can be seen carrying goods to the city.

And in such a scene, a man and a woman dressed in gray under the low city gate seemed to be waiting for something.

They each carried a knife on their backs, the man's knife had no scabbard, it was so simple to wrap it behind him with strips of cloth, the blade was not bent much, similar to the length of an ordinary iron sword, but it revealed a faint golden glow.

The woman was slender, not too tall, but she was carrying a huge knife that seemed out of place with her.

The two looked at each other, suddenly unfolded their bodies, and instantly arrived in front of Zhang Tianxi's four people.

"Master!"

Liu Qianfang reacted extremely quickly, and Chu Jiang shook out from under the robe on his body, and probed at the two like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

"Ding!"

The speed at which the man drew the knife was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly, and the next moment, Chu Jiang was entangled with the golden strange knife.

"Own people. ”

Zhang Tianxi said coldly, Liu Qianfang immediately restrained Chu Jiang, and at the same time, he also persuaded Lu Yinglong, whose hand was already on the red dragon bow.

The man withdrew the knife, hugged his fist at Zhang Tianxi at the same time as the woman, and said, "Mo Song of the Broken Knife Pavilion." ”

"Broken Knife Pavilion White Leaves. ”

"I've seen Senior Brother Chief. ”
