Volume 2: Lotus and Dragon Lying Chapter 125: The Night of Xishan City
As soon as Xing Xuan opened his mouth, he regretted it and quickly covered his mouth.
Looking at Chen's nervous and blaming eyes, Xing Xuan glanced to the side in embarrassment.
"Quick, they were around here just now!"
The firelight outside could almost illuminate Xingyu's face clearly, Xingxuan almost raised his heart to his throat, and his right hand was tightly holding the three dragons Fengying, and he didn't even dare to breathe hard.
The noise was very noisy, and Xing Zhen and the others were nervous
With Xingxuan's current state, if they were discovered, it would be difficult to escape from them all in the face of so many people.
Fortunately, the bandits did not notice them, but ran away in a noisy for other places.
Looking at the dimming and brightening firelight finally fading away, Xing Xuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Xing Xuan hurriedly looked at Chen and clenched her hand.
"Are you alright? The two men asked in unison.
After saying that, the two were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Tut-tut. Amon on the side pursed his lips and squinted at the two men.
"You are really bold, the general has said that bandits have been rampant recently, and you dare to come out alone. Xing Xuan said.
"You still know that bandits are rampant, where have you been? People are so worried about you. Chen asked, "Fortunately, he saved me at a critical moment." ”
As he spoke, Chen pointed to the corner.
Only then did Xing Xuan and Amon notice that there was another person in the corner.
It was the child of the ghost clan, and at this time he was stroking the white fox, looking timidly at Xing Xuan and the others.
Xing Xuan and Amon glanced at each other and came to him.
Xing Zhen bowed earnestly to the child.
"Xing Zhen is here to thank me for helping my sister, if there is any difficulty in the future, just come to me, Xing Zhen will do his best to help Your Excellency. ”
The child seemed to be very surprised, and it took a few seconds to react, shaking his hands constantly.
"No, no, it's just, I'm just a little bit of a hand. ”
Xing Xuan slowly crouched down to match the child's eyes.
He took a closer look at the child, his body was half real and half empty, like a soul, his blue eyes were as quiet as the sky, he looked very beautiful, his hands were constantly rubbing in front of his chest, very shy.
"What's your name. Xing Xuan asked.
"I ...... My name is Leviathan. The boy said timidly.
"Leviathan...... Okay, I made a note of it. Xing Xuan smiled, "My name is Xing Xuan, the centurion of the Yuan Hall camp, and the brave captain." ”
"I ...... I'm also from the Yuan Palace. Leviathan whispered, "I'm also a primordial, but they won't let me go to war, I'...... Just a war drum beater. ”
"Guys, shall we talk later?" Amon interrupted their conversation suddenly, "The important thing for us now is to get out of here quickly and find our way back to the camp." ”
The other three nodded in agreement when they heard this, bandits are rampant here, the sooner they escape, the sooner they escape, the sooner they will be safer, otherwise they will have a long night and a lot of dreams, they don't know much about this place, and if they stay for a second, the danger will be more.
With that powerful Yuan Force perception, Xing Xuan is naturally at the forefront.
The forest in the dark night is extremely dangerous, in addition to those thieves, vicious spirit beasts also inhabit here, not only Xingxi, everyone cautiously probed the surroundings.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and under Xing Xuan's decision, after an hour, he arrived at Xishan City.
It's a long way to return to the camp, and these thieves who appear make Xing Xuan puzzled, Wei Xian is stationed in Xishan City here, although he is only a new friend with him, but for the sake of the sake of saving him, it should be a safe place.
When they came to the city gate, Xing Xuan showed his waist card to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and entered the city safely.
Xing Xuan turned his head to look at the pitch-black field, as if he was thoughtful, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him in the night.
But it didn't take long for Xing Xuan to turn around and enter Xishan City.
Xishan City Barracks
Under the bright candle flame, the tea is steaming, giving the greatest psychological comfort to those who see fear in the dark night.
"So, Your Excellency was attacked by bandits and was seriously injured. Wei Xian was dressed in white, elegant and heroic, and looked at Xing Xuan with a little surprise in his eyes, "That's the case, and immediately pass the military doctor below." ”
"No need, thank you Lord Wei for your care. Xing Xuan said, "This injury is fine, Xing Xuan wants to ask, what is the power of the bandits around here?"
"It is true that bandits have been rampant here recently, but I have also asked the local residents that if there is no war, bandits will not dare to be arrogant, they are all nested in the mountains, even if they rob property, they are like thieves, sneaky. Wei Xian said, "But there is a master of the Formation Casting Realm among the bandits, and this matter seems to be a bit contradictory. ”
"Could it be that Your Excellency is mistaken? The master of the Shape Casting Realm is not a cabbage that can be found everywhere. Wei Xian said again.
"No, he pierced my Red Lotus Dagger and the Absolute Red Lotus with one palm, such a surging Yuan Force, at least the Shape Casting Realm. Xing Xuan said.
"............" Wei Xian stopped talking when he heard this, as if he was thoughtful.
"Either way, it's fine. Wei Xian said, "Your Excellency must also be careful in the future, tomorrow I will send someone to escort you back to the camp, the world is chaotic, anything can happen, it is better to be cautious." ”
As he spoke, Wei Xian stood up and stretched out his hand towards Xing Xuan.
"Your Excellency is willing to learn swordsmanship with you, so that you can also rejuvenate your muscles and relax your muscles, and you can also forget your troubles for a while. ”
Xing Xuan looked at Wei Xian, and after a few seconds, he smiled and nodded.
"Okay, then I will defend the young master. ”
Off-the-books
"Young Master Wei, I met your grandfather today. Xing Xuan said
"My grandfather?hahaha, he must have taught you swordsmanship, right?" Wei Xian laughed.
Xing Xuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I know that this is the Wei family's unique swordsmanship, and my son and I have experienced life and death, and we can be regarded as friends, so I don't plan to hide it." “
"You don't have to be too nervous and serious. Wei Xian said with a smile, "Since grandpa passed on you, I naturally approve of it with both hands, besides, the Wei family is not like other old-fashioned sects, which regard unique stunts as something amazing, and they are not allowed to leak a little." Grandpa has been practicing swordsmanship for many years, although the Shadow Swordsmanship is his own accumulation of many years of valuable experience, but he has a strange personality, and when he sees the people he admires, he casually gives away the cheats to others, and never treats it as something precious and invisible. ”
"Is that so?" Xing Xuan was a little surprised.
If this is really the case, this is really more broad-minded than those who cherish themselves.
He had heard that some sects valued their stunts more than their lives, and if an apprentice leaked or fled, he would be endlessly pursued by the sect.
"You don't even know how many people Grandpa gave the cheats, but. Wei Xian paused and said, "Let Grandpa teach it personally, you are the first." ”
"The first one?" Xing Xuan was a little puzzled, "What about Wei Gongzi?"
"Me. Wei Xian's eyes suddenly lowered, "My swordsmanship was passed on to me by my father, and he died in that accident." ”
"I'm sorry........." Xing Xuan said when he heard this.
"It's fine. Wei Xian smiled and said, "It's not that my grandfather doesn't care about me, it's just that he said that I may not be suitable for the Shadow Sword Technique, so he didn't pass on it to me personally, but asked me to worship another person as a teacher after my father died." ”
"In a trance, so many years have passed. Wei Xian sighed.
"Speaking of the Shadow Swordsmanship, I have been around my grandfather for many years, and I know some, my grandfather once said that the Shadow Swordsmanship is not confined to one move and one style, there is no fixed method, as long as you defeat the enemy, you can do whatever it takes. Wei Xian said, "Absorbing the strengths of hundreds of schools, the true meaning of the Falling Shadow Sword Technique has its own path." ”
"A path of your own?" Xing Xuan muttered repeatedly.
This is the first time that Xing Xuan has officially studied swordsmanship with Wei Xian, and indeed as he said, his swordsmanship and Wei Zheng cannot be said to be completely different, but a discerning person can see at a glance that these are two completely different routes.
Wei Xian's battle is like a dance, almost touching the ground, like a dragonfly in water, in the dance of a series of deadly blades, on the surface it looks fluttering, peerless, but specialized in the enemy's weak points, precise, elegant, and deadly.
This made Xing Xuan after the battle with him can't help but fall into deep thought, Wei Xian's rules are too strange, but they are very practical.
This couldn't help but make Xing Xuan curious about who Wei Xian's teacher was.
Day 2
With Wei Xian's help, Xing Xian and his party returned to the camp, and at the same time, Wei Xian told Xing Xian that five days had passed since the war, and good news had come from the south, and they would soon go on another expedition.
Next, the battle line is about to be opened, the main force of the Luan thieves is being involved in the east at the moment, and Yunzhou in the south, that is, where they are now, must attack the city one after another, and take it within a month.
If this is the case, the Luan thieves have to abandon the imperial capital and retreat to the north, but if Yunzhou is not taken within a month, then let the Luan thieves pull out their hands, and the war will fall into a stalemate again.
Yunzhou is vast, it is not easy to take Yunzhou, not to mention that the Luan thief has set up a new monarch, and now he can only crusade against the Luan thief in the name of the Qing monarch's side, even so, the king master controlled by the Luan thief is still growing.
Therefore, the Xishan battalion planned to divide the troops and advance, quickly take down various cities, and then recruit troops in Yunzhou in the name of the rescuer.
Here, whether it is the imperial capital mainland or overseas princes, Yunzhou, Mingzhou, Gyeongju, Shuzhou, the entire realm is in full swing because of the fuse of the Luan thief, and there are battles between each other, among which there are loyal to the dynasty, those who resist the Luan thief, there are also those who support the Luan thief, and there are also those who take the opportunity to stand on their own, no matter what, the world is in chaos, and the war is burning, you can know that the peaceful life has gone away.
Although Xing Xuan does not know much about the general trend of the world, he is only a seventeen-year-old child, but his views on the people's hearts are very profound, he knows that although the Luan thief can barely resist the princes and rebels in various places for the time being, but in the long run, he will definitely eliminate the other, kill the old emperor, but not set up a new emperor, can calm the heart of the world.
Xing Zhen sighed and shook his head, these are not things he should think about now, what does the general trend of the world have to do with himself now?
It's better to think about your own things in the past few years, all kinds of things seem to be normal, but Xing Zhen always feels that there is something strange in the dark.
From the beginning of the Wu family's affairs after he became the chief of the court guard, to the current young man named Leviathan, the thief in the mountains, the masked Yuan.
It seems that all kinds of things happen in a reasonable way, but it is just too reasonable that it makes people feel strange.
But what went wrong?
