There was a lot of noise in the Shanhe Pass, the sound of the sword waving through the air, and the sound of killing people and landing were mixed together, making the Shanhe Pass, which should have been immersed in it, suddenly lively.

At this time, Xie Qinghuan was already very close to the city gate with the sword array, only a few hundred meters.

Lan Shi commanded his officers and soldiers to form a human wall, coupled with various obstacles, forcibly blocking the road towards the city gate, no matter how sharp Xie Qinghuan's sword was, it did not make them retreat half a point.

But there was one thing he didn't notice, the city gates that should have been closed were quietly opened.

Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the city gates, and it was getting closer.

Blue Stone turned his head curiously, and when he saw it clearly, his eyes quickly widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

How could the gates be opened?

Why did these armies come in?

He couldn't figure it out, and he simply didn't need to figure it out.

Xie Qinghuan was led by cavalry, and it was not a problem to travel hundreds of miles a day, so he quickly surrounded Lan Shi and the others.

After Lan Shi reacted, he wanted to fight hard, but he only brought a few thousand people, and the rest were all in the barracks, while Li Yangbai brought 20,000 soldiers and horses.

The disparity in strength is clear and recognizable.

Lan Shi lowered his head and let the tip of the gun against his neck, he looked at Li Yangbai who was riding high on the horse, and asked in a hoarse voice, "There is a traitor?"

Although it was a doubt, he was already sure in his heart that if there was no traitor, even if there were no soldiers to defend the city, it would take half an hour to break through the gate of Shanhe Pass, and it would never be as quiet as this.

Li Yangbai obviously recognized Lan Shi, and he smiled: "Didn't you also plant a traitor in my place, just each other." ”

Blue Stone was silent, the two countries planted traitors in each other, this matter is not a secret, it has existed since ancient times, and even the two countries are happy to see it, he meditated in his heart that it may be the name of the traitor, and finally spit out a name.

Not Wang Si, but something else.

In his opinion, Wang Si is just a civil official, high or low, he is only submissive every day, and he doesn't even dare to go out of the mansion yamen, so he dares to be a traitor.

Li Yangbai was noncommittal, he said calmly: "You know what, now you are the general of the defeated army, what can you do, but it is strange to say, I once thought about how to break through the mountains and rivers pass, I thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect it to be so easy when I really did it." ”

Lan Shi was still silent, as Li Yangbai said, he was now a general of the defeated army, and it was useless to say anything.

Li Yangbai sneered, and after taking off the other half of the blue stone hanging on his waist, he no longer paid attention to him, but turned his head to look at Xie Qinghuan and the others who were covered in blood, and said loudly: "Brother Xie, it's too late to come down." ”

Xie Qinghuan raised his head, wiped the blood stain on the sword, and laughed softly: "It's not too late, it's just right, thank you Brother Li for answering." ”

Li Yangbai laughed: "Brother Xie, are you going out of the city here, or will you go out with me?"

Xie Qinghuan shook his head, expressing puzzlement.

Li Yangbai raised his head, looked at the city pass that he stepped into for the first time, and said seriously: "I came with 20,000 soldiers and horses, I can't go back empty-handed, I have to bring something with me, this soldier and horse I borrowed from my grandfather, plus the people eat horses and chew along the way, the cost is very great, I can't afford it, I have to let the mountains and rivers come out." ”

Xie Qinghuan was stunned, and then burst out laughing, isn't it still robbing his house if he said it so well, it didn't have much to do with him, so he decided to go out of the city.

Li Yangbai was noncommittal, and ordered his subordinates to get out of the way and let Xie Qinghuan take the swordsman out of the city, and after Xie Qinghuan disappeared, he took out the map of Shanhe Pass from his arms, and after checking it, he pointed to the direction of the treasury and nodded lightly.

Li Yangbai put away the map, sent 10,000 horses to the treasury to plunder, and sent another 5,000 to the place where the grain and grass were stored in the city, leaving only 5,000 at the gate of the city, guarding Lanshi and others.

Lan Shi suddenly spoke at this time: "Xie Qinghuan, I hope you don't hurt the people of Shanhe Pass, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me, the people of Shanhe Pass are innocent." ”

Li Yangbai walked up to him, patted his cheek, and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, soldiers have judged success or failure by victory or defeat, and it is nothing more than the case that the king is defeated or defeated, you yourself are careless, because thousands of people and horses can catch swordsmen, but you didn't expect the praying mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind, who do you say is the praying mantis, and who is the yellow finch? Now that you are under my command, and your officers and soldiers in the city are sleeping peacefully at this time, what do I want to do, can you still resist?"

Lan Shi raised his head and pleaded with a pleading face: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the old man will never say much, I just hope that you can take pity on the people of Guanzhong and leave them a way to live." ”

Li Yangbai laughed: "Blue Stone, you and I have been hostile to each other for three years, don't you know my temper, I look like the kind of person who kills innocents indiscriminately?"

Lan Shi was silent, in the heart of the general guarding the city, Li Yangbai did never kill innocents indiscriminately as he said, his temperament can be regarded as pure, but he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, in the past few decades of fighting on the battlefield, he has seen many people with pure temperament raise butcher knives, he is afraid that Li Yangbai is the same, after all, the two countries are hostile to each other, each has someone who died in their own hands, and has already formed a deep hatred, if you put yourself in the shoes of it, he stands in Li Yangbai's position, and the decision he made is definitely to slaughter the city.

In fact, he thinks like this, a bit of a villain's heart to spend the belly of a gentleman, Li Yangbai is now a sword cultivator, according to what he said thousands of years ago when the sword cultivation was prosperous, that is a righteous person, he will never be able to do such a thing as mutilating civilians, otherwise in this undefended mountain and river pass, he will not let him rub it, and the order given is not to seize property but to kill people and seize the city.

Li Yangbai saw that Lan Shi didn't respond, nor was he annoyed, he smiled, and just as he was about to say something, he seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned his head to the left.

A fat monk in a rag robe appeared not far away.

It exudes a dark aura.

There are still a few invisible ghosts faintly behind him, which makes people see the coldness that penetrates through the bones, and a trembling pro-soldier.

Li Yangbai looked at the fat monk and asked calmly, "What do you want to do?"

Before the fat monk could speak, Lan Shi's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Master Mud, please save me and wait for help." ”

The mud master looked at the five thousand soldiers and horses with sharp knives and guns, thinking of the same brigade of soldiers and horses that he had just seen passing by, he couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, and didn't answer, he was just a lucky cultivator who cultivated to the heart of the fire, relying on the ghosts in his hands to deal with some officers and soldiers, but if he dealt with these battlefield soldiers who exuded wolf smoke and blood, it would belong to looking for death, if he had a hundred times more ghosts in his hands, he might be able to give it a try, but it was definitely not now.

The mud master reluctantly pulled out a smile, and saluted Li Yangbai, who was not attracted by a sword aura, with his hands folded together, and secretly muttered bitterly in his heart, how come there is also a sword cultivator, or a battlefield figure, he can't be provoked, after thinking about it carefully, he smiled and said: "The little monk just ate too much and held on, so he came out for a walk to eliminate the accumulated food, but he never thought of bumping into the general, is it the little monk, the general, you are free, the little monk will go, this will go." ”

Li Yangbai looked at the mud master who slowly retreated with a smile on his face, and was a little amazed, just now he was still imposing and gloomy, but now he really looks like an ordinary fat monk, and it is strange that he has changed so quickly.

It's a funny guy.

Soon after the mud master left, the soldiers and horses that had been sent out to the treasury and granary by Li Yangbai returned with a full load, and each horse was full, looking like it should be emptying the treasury, as for the grain and grass on the granary, he didn't take too much, but took a lot of light and convenient jerky.

Li Yangbai looked at the blue stone with an ugly face and was almost about to faint, but he was very happy, this trip was worth it.

I thought there would be a big war, but I didn't expect that there would be no place for heroes, so it was worth it to take some money, food and grass.

Tie up the blue stone and throw it on the horse, ready to take it back, after all, he is a city general, but it is worth a lot of money.

Li Yangbai glanced at the scenery in the mountains and rivers, smiled, and issued the order to go out of the city again.

——

Outside the city gate, Xie Qinghuan was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, the previous battle had consumed too much of his mental strength and sword energy, and now his heart lake was empty.

The rest of the people were not much better than him, and they were all wounded, but fortunately they did not hurt their lives.

Bai Lao dragged his tired body to Xie Qinghuan's side, and said sincerely: "Thank you brother for tonight's incident." ”

Xie Qinghuan opened his eyes, straightened his mind, and said with a calm smile: "They are both kendo seekers, and it is supposed to help each other, so why do you need a word of thanks." ”

After finishing speaking, Xie Qinghuan moved his ears, stood up from the ground, and his eyes fell on the large group of soldiers and horses that were galloping not far away, and when Li Yangbai dismounted and came to him, he continued: "Bai Lao, where are you going to go next? If you have nowhere to go, you might as well go to Liguo with me, and you can take care of each other." ”

Bai Lao looked at the look of expectation on Xie Qinghuan and Li Yangbai's faces, was silent for a moment, and soon said with a smile: "No, we plan to go to the Wind Country to settle down and spread the sword path over there." ”

Xie Qinghuan sighed, "Since that's the case, let's leave it at that." ”

Bai Lao nodded, thought about it, took out two iron tokens engraved with the word elder from his body, handed them to Xie Qinghuan and Li Yangbai, and said seriously: "Brother Xie, the alliance leader told me when he left, if you meet someone who has the grace to save your life, you can send this token, the two of you are so great that you can't repay it, this token is a gesture of heart, and if you encounter something in danger in the future, as long as you come to me, you will definitely go to the soup and go to the fire." ”

Xie Qinghuan and the two glanced at each other, did not refuse, and each took a token and put it in his hand to watch.

Xie Qinghuan asked casually, "Who is your alliance leader, why is he not among you?"

Gu Tie interjected at this time: "Speaking of our alliance leader, it is really unusual, not only is he extremely talented and profound, but he can also easily create cultivation techniques, which is simply a rare genius in the world." ”

When these words came out, Xie Qinghuan was a little confused, saying such a big thing, but still not having the name of the alliance leader, isn't this no different from saying it in vain?

So he asked again.

Veteran Bai drove away Gu Tie, who was eager to try and wanted to speak, and said seriously: "The name of the alliance leader is Xu Baichuan. ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Li Yangbai and Xie Qinghuan were stunned at the same time, and then couldn't stop laughing.

Xu Baichuan, they all know each other, and they are all good friends.

After greeting each other for a while, the two sides planned to separate, Li Yangbai asked the soldiers to give up a hundred good horses to Bai Lao and others, and sent a lot of dry food, after all, the wind country is a lot away from here, and there are war horses to ride, which can save a lot of physical strength.

After watching Bai Lao and the others ride away, Li Yangbai waved his hand and issued a military order again.

"Back to the city!"

The army is open, and the ten thousand horsemen are out of the dust.
