Volume 11 Chapter 8 (2)

Feeling the passage of life, it seems that the shadow of death can already be seen in the haze, and in the haze, only the cold eyes of the young man become more and more distinct, as if deeply imprinted in his mind, Xia Qian gradually despaired, he couldn't imagine that he did not die on the battlefield, but lost his life in such a place, if he did not pretend to be smart, would he save his life? Xia Qian suddenly had such a strange idea in his heart. Just when his consciousness gradually sank into darkness, the strength of his hands could no longer be maintained, and a dagger in his hand fell silently to the ground when he was choked by the throat, which was originally his last weapon for self-defense, but unfortunately there was no chance to come in handy.

At this moment, a voice as cold as ice jade sounded like a heavenly sound: "Zijing, stop." Xia Qian could hear Ping Yan's voice, but he didn't hold out any hope, Fang Cai's experience made him obviously feel that the relationship between this man and woman was very strange, if it was when they just appeared, Ping Yan spoke up, or he could save him, but now the two have turned against each other, even if Ping Yan rescues him, he may not be able to save him in time in the hands of the Demon Emperor, maybe it will accelerate his death. But to his surprise, as soon as Pingyan's words fell, he felt the pressure in his throat disappear suddenly, and the cold air poured into his trachea in a very short time, and the sharp pain like a knife scraped made him start to cough violently, until tears flowed, and I don't know how long it took for his vision to return to normal. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. I didn't expect that I would have such an embarrassed time, at this time, a slender hand picked up the dagger in front of his eyes, Xia Qian raised his head, and saw Ping Yanzi carefully looking at the dagger in his hand, with a solemn and thoughtful expression, Yang Ning's eyes were lowered, and his face was very indifferent. But with Xia Qian's position, he could glimpse the deep and cold phoenix eyes, and with Xia Qian's mind, he also felt that the light in those eyes was chilling.

Yang Ning's mood at this moment has already completely changed. Ping Yan is an enemy over a confidant to him, and any negligence and weakness of this woman may be the key to his victory, so he will easily let Xia Qian go, but he has no good intentions. It's just that he wants to grasp Pingyan's weakness, but he knows that Pingyan won't let him succeed easily, his heart moved slightly, and he glanced at Pingyan, who was looking at the dagger. As if unintentionally, he asked, "Sister Yan, do you recognize this dagger?"

Ping Yan's heart trembled slightly, Yang Ning's "Sister Yan" was completely different from Fang Cai. There was a faint chill in the indifference. It's not a show of truth. It's more like a weapon to hurt people, for such a short time. You can completely abandon the original warmth, although you boast of being ruthless, but at this point, you are not as good as him, but who will kill the deer, it is not certain, glanced at Yang Ning lightly, she raised the dagger, and asked Xia Qian: "Who are you, why do you have this concentric dagger, if I remember well, this dagger is the general of Yanmen Pass Zhiyun Mountain, how can it be on you?"

Xia Qian's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and his eyes stayed on Yang Ning for a moment, but he wanted to speak and stopped, Yang Ning was curious in his heart, and stretched out his hand and said, "Does Sister Yan recognize that general?" Ping Yan sighed lightly, handed the dagger in his hand to Yang Ning, Yang Ning took the dagger and looked carefully, but his eyes couldn't help but condense, this dagger doesn't look special, the dark black hilt looks like gold and not gold, like wood and not wood, but it is made of good rhino horn, the blade of the dagger is dark black, but the edge of the blade is snowy, obviously a knife that cuts gold and jade, and the hilt is engraved with a line of small characters, but it is a poem of the predecessors , but Yang Ning looked over and over for a long time, and he didn't see anything worthy of being so surprised by Pingyan.

Pingyan also ignored Yang Ning, and said coldly: "I am thousands of miles towards the frontier, and there are many places where I confront Hu Rong, Hexi Yumen, Longxi Shuofang, and Yanmen, Youyan right Beiping, these four places are the most prosperous Guancheng, Yanmen and right Beiping are under the rule of King Yan, Zheyun Mountain is the deputy general of Yanmen, this person has Hu blood, skilled in bow and horse, proficient in the art of war, is a number of famous generals in northern Xinjiang, but unfortunately because of the limitation of origin, even if he has always been proud of his origin, he has never been reused for him, so although he has great achievements, but he can only be relegated to the position of deputy general, difficult to promote, perennial in Yanmen Town, footprints never follow the Central Plains Jiangnan, this dagger is a senior sister of mine in the past years to give the general to the land of love, but unfortunately the red face is thin, my uncle has long passed away, as far as I know, This dagger is the beloved thing of General Zhe who never leaves his body, who is Your Excellency, how can you have this dagger?"

Xia Qian's expression changed several times, and finally sighed: "Don't dare to hide it from Fairy Ping, this dagger was given by General Zhi himself, Xia is not famous, or Fairy Ping has not heard of it, but I must have heard that Shuo Fang has a flying general, right? That is Xia's nickname." ”

Ping Yan couldn't help but be moved when he heard this: " General Fei, you are the general who once shot dozens of Hu people with bows and arrows in succession among the ten thousand armies, Pingyan also used to walk outside the plug, it is said that you are both civil and military, proficient in martial arts, love soldiers like children, plus archery like a god, so the border soldiers will compare you to the famous general Li Guang when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and call you General Fei, but with your outstanding military achievements, even if you are promoted, you should also be in the military camp of Luoyang, Chang'an, how can you go to Jiangning to serve, who doesn't know that Jiangning is the world of the Tang family, General Xia is alone here, isn't it a tiger falling to Pingyang, and ambition is difficult to pay？”

Xia Qian smiled bitterly: "The fairy praised it, although Xia has a small reputation at the border pass, but he is still ashamed of himself compared to General Zhe, but Xia has committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy, if it is not for some merits, it may not be impossible to go to prison to punish the crime, and now he is just thrown to Jiangning as an outcast to be a town guard general, which is already a fluke." ”

Ping Yan frowned slightly and said: "Collaborating with the enemy, you said that this dagger was given to you by General Zhe, could it be that this is the origin of your crime of collaborating with the enemy?"

Xia Qian didn't want to say more, but shook his head and said: "It's useless to say these things, but this dagger was indeed given to Xia by General Zhe, and General Zhe was a good intention that day." Told Xia that if there was any danger, he might as well flee to Yanmen and use this dagger as a token to enter the customs, but although Xia admired the general very much, but both sides were their masters, but they could not take the name of the rebel general seriously, and then after many changes, he finally went to Jiangning, although Xia's situation is now similar to that of a hostage prisoner. But he was calm in his heart, but he didn't have any complaints, if the two of them wanted to kill Xia, please do it. ”

Pingyan hesitated. Turning his head to Yang Ning, he said, "Zijing, my teacher."

The rhino used to be very good to me, when I first worshiped the green lake, she once had to leave the division for some reason, and the general of the fold married, this dagger was the wedding gift I gave her that day, the day said. If their husband and wife are in trouble, they can use this dagger as a token, even though I see this dagger thousands of miles away. I will also go to help. Today, this dagger is by General Xia's side. I don't know what they have to do though. But seeing things is like seeing people, so I want to ask you for a favor. I don't know if you'll be able to spare him this time. ”

Yang Ning never thought that Ping Yan would have such a soft begging, and he subconsciously agreed, but his heart moved, but he said coldly: "What Sister Yan said is wrong, if it is a talent, I can let him go with just a word from Sister Yan, but in this way, this person already knows my real name, if it leaks out in the future, I am afraid that I will have no peace, and Sister Yan will inevitably be too forceful." ”

Pingyan said lightly: "Don't worry, although your real name is known to him, do you think he can leak it? If he really says it, I'm afraid that he will be killed before he leaves Jiangning, and there are too many people in this world who don't want you to appear." ”

Yang Ning's eyes moved slightly, and he said indifferently: "That's it, since Sister Yan said so, I will give you a face, as long as he apologizes to me and admits his mistakes, I will let him go." ”

Ping Yan was slightly stunned, only to feel that Yang Ning was acting abnormally, and then couldn't help laughing, only to feel that Yang Ning was just trying to take care of his face, and when he was about to tell Xia Qian to do it, Xia Qian, who had been dark and gloomy since he heard what Yang Ning said, had an unyielding look on his face, and said coldly: " What the emperor said is wrong, what is Xia's crime, the emperor came to Jiangning, Xia was responsible for defending Jiangning, and he didn't know the emperor, or there was a crime of dereliction of duty, but it was also excusable, but the emperor opened the killing ring in front of Xia, killing innocents indiscriminately, Xia failed to stop such violent acts, it is a great crime, if the emperor wants to kill Xia, whether it is anger in his heart, or killing people, Xia frowned, whether it is a good man in Longxi, if you want Xia to bend his knees and apologize, unless it is the sunrise in the West Mountain, Xia would rather die than give in. ”

Yang Ning's expression moved slightly when he heard this, he forced Xia Qian to apologize, but he wanted to force Xia Qian to attack, just because he pushed himself and others, he felt that no one could bear the insult of bending his knees and apologetic, but until this moment, he still didn't believe that Xia Qian had such courage, and talked eloquently in front of himself, the famous Demon Emperor, and looked Xia Qian up and down for a moment, as if he didn't know this person until this moment, Yang Ning said lightly: "Are you blaming me?" As soon as these words came out, his expression had become very indifferent, and there was no trace of emotion in the deep and cold phoenix eyes, and an almost imperceptible murderous aura poured out from Zhou's body, but on the surface, the momentum was a little weaker.

Xia Qian's heart was uneasy, and his face was forced to lose his blood by the invisible pressure, but his demeanor did not change in the slightest, he glanced at Yang Ning, and said proudly: " The last general will not dare, the emperor's status is noble, and the person who can condemn the emperor must not have been born yet, but everything in the world speaks of a rational word, the emperor trespassed into Xia Mouyuan, and was already rude first, and the last general remembered that the emperor wanted to kill the people in the water, and there was no warning, presumably these people dared to watch around at most, and did not dare to openly offend, the so-called abuse without teaching and punishment, if the emperor explicitly ordered that no one should follow, these people may still be able to die without complaint, but now I am afraid that they will not be blind. ”

Yang Ning's eyes were indifferent, Xia Qian's words could not shake his mind in the slightest, he took a step forward, and said indifferently: "You are right, everything in the world must pay attention to a rational word, but it does not apply to me, the disciples of the martial arts sect are just unreasonable." Speaking of this, there was a murderous smile on his lips.

Ping Yan's expression changed slightly, although she didn't get along with Yang Ning for a long time, but she knew nine times out of ten about this young man's temperament, and knew that he was really moving with killing intent at the moment, so she would restrain her murderous aura instead, in this case, even if she was better than Yang Ning in martial arts, she might not be able to protect Xia Qian, and she might even be in danger because of this burden, but if she left it alone, she also lived up to her promise, thinking of Senior Sister Cui's former flowery face, she only felt a burst of amazement in her heart, and said in a somewhat tired tone:" Zijing doesn't need to say it, if you let him go this time, I will give up this duel, and within a year, I will never come to you again, what do you think of this condition?"

Yang Ning's heart turned back and forth, and he was about to agree, but he felt that Ping Yan looked at him with a faint mockery, and a wisp of anger welled up in his heart, and said coldly: "No need, a duel is a duel, it has nothing to do with this matter, since Sister Yan said so, what does it matter if I let him go, if you want to do it quickly, we have delayed it for too long." Before the words fell, a wisp of murderous aura had risen into the sky, Pingyan's expression was awe-inspiring, and it was already as cold as ice and snow, although he was slightly apologetic, but the murderous aura that was not inferior was also caught up, and the space between the two was filled with murderous aura, and there were signs of spreading.

Xia Qian was affected by the true qi, only to feel a pain on his face, it seemed that countless small sharp blades had cut through the skin, and a wisp of blood flowed down his sideburns, Xia Qian felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly avoided it. He saw that the two of them had already been so powerful before they made a move, and his eyes couldn't help but show horror and guilt. Although Xia Qian's martial arts are not very clever, he is proficient in martial arts, and only by virtue of the change in the situation, he knows that Yang Ning and Pingyan's martial arts should not be far apart, and there is no absolute result in victory or defeat, in this case, the mood of the two when they fight occupies a very important position, but Pingyan owes Yang Ning a favor because he has no choice but to do so, and it can be said that the very spicy young demon emperor is almost invincible.

Thinking of this, Xia Qian felt uneasy in his heart, his heart turned a thousand times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "The two of them just want to distinguish the winner from the loser, Xia Mou has heard that if he is a martial arts master, if he wants to distinguish the upper and lower, he must not only rely on force, but also test the intelligence and strategy, the decisive battle of the real sword and real gun is just done by the husband, and it is protracted. ”

Hearing Xia Qian's words, Yang Ning and Pingyan did not move at all, but somehow, Xia Qian felt that the eyes of the two had been focused on him, he groaned slightly, and said: "If you want to fight, the two of you might as well fight in public, but no matter how you shoot, you can't attract the attention of ordinary people, let alone hurt the innocent, otherwise you will lose, of course, if you can hurt the other party's life in this situation, you are the undoubted winner, the two of you think that Xia's method is more challenging than fighting like this?" ”
