Chapter 25: The Old Man's Words
On a forest path, Bai Qi and Ning Xiaoxue walked one after the other.
The two of them left this place for Dark Yu City after burying the old man who died a few days ago.
On both sides of the trail, there are lush weeds.
Because of the luxury, there are places where you can't even see the road.
Bai Qi walked in front with the fine snow sword, using the fine snow sword as a firewood knife to cut off the weeds that affected the progress.
"Why do you want to take this path?" Bai Qi grumbled as he cleared the way with a fine snow sword.
"Because this road is a shortcut to Dark Yu City. Ning Xiaoxue said with a smile in the back.
In fact, this road is not a shortcut at all, but she simply wants to play tricks on Bai Qi's lie.
Hearing this, Bai Qi stopped his movements and turned to Ning Xiaoxue with a smile.
"Huh. ”
He is suffering now and dare not speak, there is no way, he can't beat others.
"By the way, what did that old man write on the paper for you?" Ning Xiaoxue asked curiously.
Bai Qi was stunned, he hadn't had a chance to read the paper since the old man gave it to him, and as soon as Ning Xiaoxue asked, he immediately took out the paper.
Seeing this, Ning Xiaoxue leaned her head over to read the contents of the paper.
I saw that it was written on the paper: Do everything possible to break your head, and the mechanism is all in the palm of your hand.
The white clothes are not black, and the red face is thin
Bai Qi frowned, starting from the two words in white clothes, the handwriting behind became more and more sloppy, and each stroke of each word became thicker and thicker, which was obviously caused by the gradual increase in the power of the pen.
Recalling the scene written by the old man at that time, he began to vomit blood halfway through writing, and his expression became more and more difficult.
Bai Qi couldn't help but wonder, is there really such a thing as 'heaven'?
"What does this mean?" Ning Xiaoxue looked at Bai Qi in confusion.
Bai Qi replied: "This sentence is not finished, you look at the handwriting, thinking about the situation of the old man's writing at that time." ”
After speaking, he looked at Ning Xiaoxue speechlessly.
Xindao: You're the hall master, you can't even see this?
Syllable!
Ning Xiaoxue patted her right hand on Bai Qi's head, and said angrily: "I know this, what does it mean to ask Hongyan Bo Sheng?"
"Maybe it's literal?" Bai Qi replied uncertainly.
Ning Xiaoxueliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, literally Hongyan also refers to a woman, right?
Does it mean that the woman who is in a relationship with him will ......
Ning Xiaoxue didn't dare to think about it anymore.
In order to determine her inner thoughts, she opened her mouth and asked Bai Qi.
"Who are the women you have a good relationship with?"
"Huh?" Bai Qi looked at Ning Xiaoxue suspiciously.
"Do you have a woman you like, or do you have a woman who likes you?" Ning Xiaoxue asked seriously.
For Ning Xiaoxue's fickle expression, Bai Qi was no longer surprised, maybe one second he was still smiling, and the next second he was glaring angrily.
So he didn't think much about it, and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "Just like me, who will like me? Who can I like?"
As he spoke, Bai Qi pointed to the scar on the left side of his face.
Ning Xiaoxue continued to ask, "Are you thinking about it, really not?"
Thinking of Ning Xiaoxue's previous style of acting, Bai Qi mistakenly thought that she was the same as usual, and wanted Bai Qi to say that it was her.
So Bai Qi touched his head and said, "There should be no one else except you." ”
Ning Xiaoxue was struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot.
The words of Bai Qi kept echoing in her ears, there should be no one else but you......
Bai Qi thought that Ning Xiaoxue would smile happily as usual when she heard this, but she didn't expect to stand in a daze with a dull expression.
He shook his hand in front of Ning Xiaoxue's godless eyes.
"Sister Ning, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh?" Ning Xiaoxue, who came back to her senses, smiled reluctantly, and then said, "It's nothing, let's go!"
Bai Qi nodded, didn't think much about it, turned around and continued to wield the fine snow sword to open the way.
While Bai Qi was not paying attention, Ning Xiaoxue took out her piece of paper.
After reading the above, she looked a little complicated, sighed, and then put the paper away.
"Sister Ning, look, there is an army ahead. ”
Ning Xiaoxue, who had just adjusted her mood, heard this, and looked ahead, a hundred meters in front of them, there was indeed an army, and it was also the army of the Dark Kingdom.
At a cursory glance, there were about two thousand people, and the black oppression, like an ant colony, was flowing towards them.
Ning Xiaoxue thought at first that Zhu Jun wanted to take revenge on the pursuers sent by him, but after seeing this group of soldiers lose their armor, she realized that she was thinking too much.
Seeing these soldiers abandon their armor, Bai Qi couldn't help but say.
"Looks like you've just lost the battle!"
Ning Xiaoxue nodded and took a step forward.
The weeds around her body were flattened to the ground as if they had been squeezed by something as if they had been squeezed by something as she took a step.
Seeing the group of soldiers coming to them, she asked, "Who beat you like this?"
But this group of soldiers was obviously in a leaderless situation, and they didn't pay attention to Ning Xiaoxue and directly ignored her.
"Girl, hurry up, the army of Yaoguang Kingdom is behind, they don't care if you are a common person or not, they will kill people when they see them, and leave no one alive, Dark Yu City has been slaughtered by them......" A kind soldier stopped and persuaded Ning Xiaoxue.
Ning Xiaoxue frowned, Yaoguang Kingdom's army slaughtered the city?
If it was before, she would never have taken care of this situation, but now, she has to take care of it, because the dark kingdom is no longer surnamed Zhu.
Before leaving, Uhir had said that after escorting Bai Qi to Yaoguang Country back this time, she would be the behind-the-scenes controller of the Dark Kingdom.
She looked at these soldiers who had fled in the desert, and thought of the civilians who had been slaughtered in the city of Dark Yu, and a wave of anger rose in her heart.
At this time, a soldier ran past her, and Ning Xiaoxue directly pulled out the green bamboo sword and pressed it against the soldier's neck.
"Tell me, who is your commander, and how you were defeated!"
The soldier who was held by Ning Xiaoxue with a sword to his neck was like a frightened bird, kneeling directly on the ground and kowtowing, repeating the word sparing his life in his mouth.
Bai Qi on the side saw the tearful soldier, and his expression was a little complicated.
He couldn't imagine what could make a seven-foot man kneel and cry.
Seeing that the soldiers kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, the strength in Ning Xiaoxue's hand increased by a point, and then shouted in a deep voice: "Answer my question!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me......" The soldier didn't seem to hear Ning Xiaoxue's words, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Ning Xiaoxue sighed, this soldier was already frightened.
Then, with all her strength, she spoke to the fleeing soldiers.
"You all listen to me, I am Ning Xiaoxue, the hall master of the Thousand Faces Hall of the Dark Temple, and I am here to help you defend against the enemy army. ”
Her voice was not loud, but it was so penetrating that everyone could hear what she was saying clearly.
After hearing Ning Xiaoxue's words, the soldiers all stopped running away and looked at Ning Xiaoxue questioningly.
They all know about the Dark Temple, but only a few of them know about the Thousand Faces Hall of the Dark Temple.
"What's the use of just the two of you?
As if to prove whether it was useful, Ning Xiaoxue pulled out the green bamboo sword and waved it casually where there was no one.
Then, in the soldier's shocked gaze, a turquoise crescent sword qi swept out at lightning speed.
From the time the turquoise sword qi appeared to the time it disappeared, it was only two breaths.
But he flew more than a hundred meters in the woods, and where the sword qi passed, the trees were all cut off and collapsed.
"Am I useful now?" Ning Xiaoxue jumped onto a tree and looked at all the soldiers and said coldly.
When the soldiers saw Ning Xiaoxue casually wave of their hands, they cut down nearly five hundred trees, and they were dumbfounded one by one.
Although they knew about the existence of people like Ning Xiaoxue, they had never seen it with their own eyes.
"Even if you are strong in martial arts, it's still useless! The various sects on the mainland have signed an agreement with the country, and the people of the sect are not allowed to interfere in the war between the countries for any reason, and after being discovered doing so, the secret country will be the public enemy of the entire continent. Another soldier said.
"Is it useful, I'll talk about it later, now I need to know who your commander is, why are you so embarrassed?" Bai Yu asked.
"Our commander's name is Zhou Sen, he is the left forward of General Wang, he has been killed in battle just now, not only him, as long as he has a position, he has been killed, and he blames Niu Er's kid, he pointed them all out in order to survive!" said a soldier sadly.
"In the morning, after we were out of touch with the main force, we were pursued by the army of Yaoguangguo, who caught up with us and did not move, but only used ropes to lasso the slow men, and then they rode horses and dragged our men away. Another soldier replied.
After Bai Qi heard this, he was furious, and the soldiers of Yaoguang Country did not treat the soldiers of the Dark Kingdom as human beings at all.
"How many pursuers are there behind?" Ning Xiaoxue continued to ask.
"About a thousand!" someone replied.
Ning Xiaoxue's face turned pale.
How ironic that a thousand people are running after two thousand.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Xiaoxue continued: "Do you want to fight or escape?"
"Fighting, maybe there is a glimmer of life. Run, what awaits you is a slow death. ”
"How to choose you think about it carefully, I won't force you, no matter what, I'm sure I'll be fine in the end. ”
"However, I want you to know that even if any of you survive, the army of the Yaoguang Kingdom will be driven straight in, and maybe the entire Dark Kingdom will be destroyed, and after the destruction of the Dark Kingdom, which of you can guarantee that the incident in the Dark Yu City will not happen again?
Bai Qi looked at Ning Xiaoxue speechlessly, how much did he say, what is the difference between this and forcible demand?
But he also understood that what Ning Xiaoxue said was right, now these soldiers seem to have a choice, but in fact they have no choice.
Bai Qi glanced at the soldiers, some were hesitant, some were angry in their eyes, and some were timid.
What Ning Xiaoxue said, most of the soldiers could still understand.
Therefore, some people expressed their willingness to fight to the death with the pursuers.
"If you don't want to fight, please leave on your own. Ning Xiaoxue glanced at individual soldiers and said.
Before the words could be spoken, several soldiers walked out of the group and fled as if they were fleeing.
"The names of several of them, I want you to remember, if you win the Yaoguang Army, after returning to the capital, I will let all the people of the Dark Kingdom know what their names have done. Ning Xiaoxue said lightly.
Subsequently, Ning Xiaoxue ordered the soldiers to retrieve their lost equipment and put it on, and waited in place for the pursuers to arrive.
Although the number of soldiers of the Dark Kingdom is now superior, after all, they have suffered a defeat, and they have been tortured by the soldiers of the Yaoguang Kingdom for nearly a day.
Morale, physical strength, and equipment are inferior to the other party, so two thousand against one thousand may not win.
After waiting for a while, Ning Xiaoxue still didn't follow, and Bai Qi couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ning, you don't want to fight like this, do you?"
