"Bold fanatics, dare to be presumptuous in front of my Red Phoenix Army!"

"No mercy!"

"No mercy!"

With the murderous aura one after another, the mighty and majestic shouts sounded, the city tower was surrounded by dense soldiers, and on the towers around it, there were countless crossbowmen, full of bowstrings, all aimed at Li Ran and Ma Wenjie.

Where had Ma Wenjie ever seen such a battle? Suddenly his legs weakened with fright, and he sat down on the ground, hugging Li Ran's thighs tightly.

Li Ran did not lose his momentum, his hands were behind his back, his waist was straight, and he said awe-inspiringly: "Listen to me, I am the fourth princess of the court, and the saint appoints the Hanlin Academy to accompany the bachelor, if you dare to touch my hair, it will be blasphemy against the royal family, and it will anger the current saint! When the time comes, you will be punished by seventy, eighty, ninety, and ten clans, it will be light!"

With the blessing of the powerful true power, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of tens of thousands of soldiers in the field, and the soldiers of the forward battalion in the front row, seeing the royal fire phoenix boots on his feet, subconsciously took a few steps back, waiting for the commander's instructions.

"Brother-in-law, you are so majestic. ”

Xiao Qingxue opened her mouth coldly, her slender fingers caressed the long sword at her waist, and in her cold eyes, there was an awe-inspiring murderous aura that was absolutely invisible, making people dare not look directly!

"Tsk, I have to say that among the four princesses, this girl is the one who perfectly inherits the power of the Empress Xuanyue in terms of temperament. 」

"It's a pity, Lao Tzu can even conquer your mother emperor, how can I be afraid of you today?"

Li Ran sneered in his heart, he made this decision, naturally he was completely sure.

Unexpectedly, his side was full of momentum, and Ma Wenjie, the pig teammate next to him, saw the other party's eyes, and perhaps evoked some terrifying memories, and his body collapsed in fright, like mud, with his limbs down, and fell to the ground.

, this fat man is scared to pee again!

The mud can't hold up the wall!

Suddenly smelling a peculiar smell, Li Ran was angry and funny, and moved a few steps away speechlessly.

"Sister Qingxue. ”

Li Ran sighed, with a sad look: "This Ma Wenjie is also a quasi-monarch now, he is half of the Xiao family, speaking of which, we are all a family, why bother to use knives and guns, hey." ”

"Li Ran, your set doesn't work for me. ”

Xiao Qingxue's eyes were cold and said: "You hurt my soldiers and messed with my army's heart, if I want to deal with you with military law now, no one can protect you unless the mother emperor is in person." ”

"No, you won't. Li Ran smiled: "You will give me a chance." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qingxue raised her eyelids and temporarily let go of the hilt of the sword in her hand.

"You must be speculating in your heart at the moment, a man who can blow out hundreds of ever-bright candles and subdue the masters of Dongying and Goryeo in one fell swoop, what he just said is true or false?"

Li Ran looked directly at the other party: "Am I right, the beautiful and charming Sister Qingxue?"

"You're very smart. Xiao Qingxue's tone softened a lot: "But just knowing how to guess people's hearts can't solve your danger today-"

"Of course not. Li Ran interrupted: "Not only do I have a bright brain, but I also ...... You're handsome. ”

"Huh. ”

Xiao Qingxue sneered, "The fourth sister would choose a frivolous child like you to be the gentleman's servant, hey, this girl is really hopeless." ”

"You're wrong, Sister Qingxue. ”

Li Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "It is not the will of Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess that I will be crowned as the official monarch, but the will of Her Majesty the Mighty and Supreme Empress of my Great Xuan Dynasty, her old man." ”

"Mother Emperor She ......"

Xiao Qingxue's face froze, and she gritted her teeth: "Well, what a saint the mother emperor is, since she made such a decision, this also indirectly shows that you do have some skills, I will ask you again at the end, you just slandered our army's formation and disturbed our army's heart in public, but did it on purpose?"

Of course, Li Ran knew that the other party was giving him the last step, the key was that he had been flustered recently, once he was on the field, he couldn't pretend to be thorough, and he was uncomfortable!

Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to conquer the woman in front of him!

Bah Bah ...... In fact, what he really thinks about is a very deep political reason!

It turned out that in the past two years, Xiao Qingxue has been brewing to attack the last nest of the barbarian clan, the "Giant God Village", and complete the feat that Empress Xuanyue and Murong Yu failed to complete, so as to win the praise of the people of the world, so as to increase her bargaining chips with the eldest princess Xiao Lingqiu to compete for the crown prince.

As far as Li Ran knew, the Empress Xuanyue waved a million troops that year, leveled the 36 villages of the barbarian western Xinjiang in one fell swoop, beheaded one million, and shocked Kyushu.

However, at the last moment, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers were allowed to flee back to the ancestral place of origin "Jushen Village", what is the meaning of this?

That year, although Li Ran was only eleven years old, he also heard from his father about some rumors about it.

It is said that at that time, his mother-in-law secretly sent tens of thousands of elite cavalry, chased and killed barbarian deserters overnight, and chased them all the way to the mountain gate of Jushenzhai, but he didn't expect a strange fog to burst out in the valley, these tens of thousands of cavalry, overnight, all became the living dead who are not human or ghosts, and they bite when they see people, and ordinary swords and soldiers can't kill them at all!

This rumor sounds terrifying and incredible, but from Li Ran's current eyes, there is a high probability that it is true.

In the barbarian giant god village, it is very likely that there are hidden ghost warlocks with advanced cultivation, which is why Murong Yu has not made up his mind to exterminate the barbarians after destroying the Ice Country back then.

Back to the present.

If Xiao Qingxue really used this set of "Zhenyang Ten Square Arrays" to attack the village, she would definitely not be able to break through the ghost fog array in the mountain stream.

In fact, let alone her, even with Li Ran's current cultivation knowledge, there is no way to crack it out of ten.

Therefore, if Xiao Qingxue is defeated, her biggest trump card "Red Phoenix Army" will be completely wiped out, then she will lose the qualification to compete with Xiao Lingqiu, who will be crushed all the way with the support of Empress Xuanyue, eradicate dissidents, and quickly ascend to the throne.

Xiao Lingqiu, this mother-in-law, has always been a baht, and she was scolded by him Li Ran a few times later, if she is on the throne, he Li Shilang still has good fruits to eat?

In fact, regarding the future planning, Li Ran already has some preliminary plans in his heart, in this battle for the crown prince, he will neither help Xiao Qingxue, nor Xiao Lingqiu......

But at present, Xiao Qingxue must not be defeated.

......

"Your Royal Highness the Second Princess, what the minister said before is true, if you use this set of formations to attack the Giant God Village, you will be defeated. ”

Li Ran's eyes were like torches, and he said word by word: "If you ask the same thing again, the minister's answer will be the same, you will definitely lose, and there is no possibility of winning!"

"Very good, it's really a genius from heaven, and he has the courage. ”

Xiao Qingxue sneered: "Today, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers of my Red Phoenix Army, you picked up your words to this point, and injured my two guerrilla generals, if you don't come up with something real, I'm afraid you don't want to get out of this school!"

"No mercy!"

"No mercy!"

Seeing that the boss finally spoke, a group of angry sergeants shouted in unison, shouting loudly, as if they wanted to devour Li Ran alive.

"A group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, I really don't even bother to change my lines. 」

Li Ran was so noisy that his ears hurt, he shook his head speechlessly, and said, "Of course." The ministers will prove it to His Highness that this set of strong attack formations is full of flaws and is vulnerable, and I can break the formation, and the hidden cultivators in the giant god village can also break the formation. ”

"You...... You're also like the Divine Daoist Supervisors, who think that there are hidden cultivators in that giant god village?" Xiao Qingxue's face changed slightly.

"I don't think so. ”

Li Ran said: "It's 100% conclusive, if the princess doesn't believe it, she can ask Your Majesty in person." ”

"My Mother ...... Him"

As if thinking of something, Xiao Qingxue's face was complicated, and after a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "That's it, let's not talk about anything else, how are you going to give me this explanation today?"

"The two armies are facing each other, and I will prove it to you. Li Ran said.

"The two armies are facing each other? Heh, how many soldiers and horses do you want? Xiao Qingxue said.

"How much army strength Your Highness has to go into battle, I only need one-tenth of it. Li Ran said.

"What a big breath. ”

Xiao Qingxue said coldly: "No need, I'll give you the same strength, five hundred infantry on each side of you and me, for the sake of fairness, I will help you go to Commander Lin in the name of drills and borrow five hundred elite forbidden troops, what do you think?"

"Tsk, that's great, the second sister is really considerate and thoughtful. Li Ran smiled kindly.

Xiao Qingxue looked at her coldly, and said:

"Do you need a commander? The twenty lieutenant generals in our army are all brilliant, brave and good at fighting, and you can choose from them. ”

After speaking, she remembered something again: "Don't worry, these warriors have followed me for many years, they have a straight character, they only know how to obey military orders, and they will never have any crooked thoughts——"

"No, I don't have to. Li Ran waved his hand and interrupted the other party: "I have a candidate for the head coach in my heart, and His Royal Highness Lao Fu sent someone to the Martial Arts Supervision and Guard Institute to help me find someone." ”

"Who?" said Xiao Qingxue.

"The samurai of the Holy Martial Academy, one of the four pioneers of the imperial martial arts conference, Li Huan. Li Ran said with a deep gaze.

Xiao Qingxue's face showed a hint of hesitation: "I'm afraid this is not very easy to do, the mother emperor has a strict decree, during the martial arts conference, no one is allowed to interfere with these four pioneers......"

"It's okay, Her Royal Highness just send someone to bring my words, and the kid will find a way to come over. ”

Li Ran said firmly.

"Good. Xiao Qingxue nodded in disbelief.

——————

North of the Imperial City, the backyard of the Martial Arts Superintendent.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sat under the Bodhi tree, his body was full of energy, his clothes were agitated, and his black hair was flying.

At his side, a dark green long sword, under the traction of his powerful mind, swung in the air, the sword qi thunderbolted, and the fallen leaves around him were cut to pieces, and they fell down.

"Second Master Li is young, and he has practiced such a magical and mysterious invisible sword intent, he is really a genius of Tianzhong, and he is worthy of being the successor of the "Tianji Sword Saint", and the old man really didn't pick the wrong person back then. ”

An old man in a green cloth shirt walked over and said with a smile on his face.

The young man slowly opened his eyes, quickly stood up, and said respectfully: "Qin Wu has won the award, and there are ...... You are still the same as when you were in the Holy Martial Academy, call me Xiaohuan, this "Second Master Li", I really don't get used to it. ”

The old man laughed: "That's not good, now in this palace, Ling Zun is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Brother Ling is the princess of the dynasty, with the imperial status, this "Second Master Li", you can afford it no matter what." ”

"Hey, whatever you want. Li Huan smiled helplessly: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"A letter was sent to the health center, without a signature, but I heard the eunuch who sent it say that it seems to be a letter from Brother Ling, you see. ”

Qin Huai'an took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over.

"I ...... Brother?"

A smiling face that integrated "obscene", "insidious" and "handsome" suddenly appeared in his mind, Li Huan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and was stunned for a long time before opening the envelope.

I saw that it read: "The martial arts arena in the western suburbs of the imperial city, come quickly, or wait to collect your brother's body." 」

"Is it Brother Ling......'s letter? What did he say?" Qin Huai'an said curiously.

Li Huan pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Envoy Qin, before tomorrow's martial arts conference, can't we, the pioneers who participated in the competition, leave the guard without permission?"

"Yes, the Holy Majesty decrees that you should not only rest in silence, but that no one should visit and disturb you. Qin Huai'an thought for a while, and then said, "Why do you suddenly ask this? Could it be that Brother Ling wants to invite you to talk about it?"

"No, no. Li Huan's face was slightly red, and he hurriedly shook his head: "I know, Qin Wuzhi, by the way, can you help me get some ginseng tea, I'...... Some are thirsty. ”

"Of course, don't say it's tea, you just want to drink the best elixir and jade brew in this palace, then I have to find it for you, second master, wait a minute!"

Qin Huai'an smiled, and just after taking a few steps, he suddenly realized something: "This Second Master Li won't suddenly do something......, right?" No, probably not, I watched this kid grow up, and he never lies!"

He quickly dismissed his speculation.

Ten minutes later, when he came to the backyard with a plate of tea and snacks, Li Huan was already gone!

"It's bad! This kid is bad!"
