Chapter 9 The Perfect Strategy
Duan Taoli couldn't remember when he woke up.
In my impression, it seemed that she had woken up from the inn when the morning light shone into the room.
But this time, I woke up from a deep sleep, and I was actually in a carriage, and there was a long wind howling outside the window.
She vaguely felt that something was wrong, touched her waist, the dagger was still there, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood couldn't help but calm down.
From Varan to the Great Song Dynasty, from the helpless little girl outside the Garan Temple to the fourteen princesses who have now stepped on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, as long as the dagger is still there, even if he is alone, Duan Taoli has never felt afraid.
Valrane is scarce and has nothing but spices. The people have long been accustomed to making pleasures in suffering, fighting with evil by nature, and worshipping the Buddha throughout the country, and the reputation of the country of Southwest Garan has spread far and wide.
But she's different.
If the people do not want to carry spears, then the king will have to clothe them with a strong and strong force, rather than how to be king.
Duan Taoli, who thought he was born to fight, untied the dagger on his waist, held it tightly in his hand, calmly opened the curtain of the car, and looked out.
But the sight that greeted her froze her.
In late autumn, the coolness is bleak, and in the fiery red maple forest, one person is dressed in white and one person is purple. Opposites.
Zhao Wu'an's six swords were suspended in the air, and Dai Lou Duyun held a butterfly against the blade.
And behind Zhao Wu'an, Annan trembled his pale lips, looking at Zhao Wu'an who gave up his body to block him in a daze, and a thousand words came to his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Dai Lou Duyun curled the corners of his lips, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes.
"Zhao Wu'an, you are still that good old man. I know that there is a dead end under the Gu pit, but I would rather die and intercede with me, fighting for Sang Yu's stupid way of lifeββ"
"The past doesn't matter. β
Zhao Wu'an's eyes were resolute, and he said word by word: "At least for now, I won't allow you to kill this person behind me." β
Dailou Twilight chuckled.
"No matter what, what are you going to do with me, Zhao Wu'an?"
Zhao Wu'an frowned, and said in a cold voice: "It's you who kill indiscriminately! Those twenty-nine women's lives haven't been taken care of by you, and you want to kill in vain!"
"Hahaha! I made up a murder in vain?, then what are you Zhao Wu'an!" Dai Lou Duyun smiled fiercely, "No matter what I do, at least I'm moving forward! For the sake of Miao Jiang, for the sake of the people, I am at least moving forward step by step, desperately!And you?"
In the autumn wind, Dai Lou Duyun's voice was hoarse and sad, "No matter how long it takes, you won't recognize what you've done." You live for the sake of Garan, and you live for the salvation of all beings in the world. In fact, you know very well in your heart that you can't save everyone at all. β
"I don't need you to remind me of that. Zhao Wu'an said coldly, "I just want to save Annan now." You don't have any right to kill this person. β
"What if I have to kill?" said Twilight raised an eyebrow.
"Then I'll kill you first. Zhao Wu'an replied expressionlessly.
Annan trembled: "Zhao Jushi ......"
He had indeed wondered why Zhao Wu'an hadn't pursued him more about joining the Demon Greed Palace.
That night in Bianliang City, he did reveal a trace of sincerity, but Zhao Wu'an should be far from guessing this layer.
As if seeing the doubts in his heart, Zhao Wu'an didn't look back, and said lightly: "When I heard An Xingguo talk about the twelve city fortresses, I thought of what you said that night. β
The autumn wind blew Zhao Wu'an's forehead, and his eyes were clear and flawless. "You said that your greatest wish in this life is nothing more than the peace and security of your family. β
At that time, Annan's body suddenly shook.
"A lot of people have that desire, but not everyone can do it. Zhao Wu'an said, "You are just using your own way to protect your family, which is blameless." β
On behalf of the building, there were waves in the bottom of the clouds.
"So, I'll be on your side this time. β
After saying this, Zhao Wu'an leaned forward, raised his arms, pinched the sword trick in his hand, and waited for the battle.
Behind him, the six swords let out a slight groan.
This time, Dai Lou Duyun was silent for a long time.
Gusts of autumn wind blew past several people, and the maple leaves on both sides of the road fell one after another.
For a long time, he smiled lightly, with some tiredness and helplessness in his smile.
"Why didn't you look at me like that back then?"
Zhao Wu'an was stunned.
"I did kill a lot of people I shouldn't have killed, and I was young and vigorous, and I did a lot of wrong things. I'm not like the Annan you're protecting now, who will do everything well. After all, I am the prince of Miao Jiang, this is the crown and the shackles. β
Dai Lou Duyun raised his eyes lightly, and under the slender eyelashes like butterfly wings, a pair of ink pupils were silent.
Zhao Wu'an said calmly: "Do you want to ...... Say what?"
The butterfly blade spun out a stream of brilliance.
"Those twenty-nine lives. Dai Lou Duyun said lightly, "To this day, do you still want to come to me to pick it up?"
"I'm going to let them die as they deserve. Zhao Wu'an said it categorically.
"That's good. Dai Lou Duyun smiled miserably, "Come and take my life." β
Zhao Wu'an was suddenly stunned.
Duan Taoli in the carriage also widened his eyes.
As if he had made up his mind, his eyes closed, the butterfly blades swung out, and his purple robe swayed.
"You want to take my life in your dreams, so this time, I'll give you a chance. The battle that could not be fought on the cloud tower, this half mile of maple forest, we continue. β
Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a long time and did not respond.
Dai Lou Duyun suddenly raised the prosperous purple robe around him: "Come on, kill me, Zhao Wu'an! There are many rights and wrongs in the past, and now I will pay the sword!"
Zhao Wu'an came back to his senses, his face was pale, his hands were lowered and his eyebrows were lowered, and his qi machine rolled up his clothes.
"You've always wanted to kill me, haven't you? You've always wanted to avenge those twenty-nine lives, right? Last time, you went to the Yunzhou Royal Court, and now I've come to this Qingdi Township in person!" Dai Lou Duyun hissed, "The world's major affairs, the safety of the common people, have nothing to do with you! Before thinking about Li Min, the first thing you think about is your own grievances and hatred!"
He smiled coldly, and his anger rolled wildly.
"Come on, then. I will accompany you to end this long grudge. β
The moment the words settled.
The red maples danced wildly in the sky, and a raging wind rolled in the air.
Under the shadow of the fire maple piled up like a red lotus, the twilight clouds of Dailou turned into a faint purple shadow, slaughtering, and the butterflies in their hands were staggered.
Two terrible sword lights slashed in front of Zhao Wu'an.
Zhao Wu'an's eyes were sharp, and the six swords blocked in front of him, taking the knife of Dai Lou Duyun, and at the same time flying back and opening up the distance.
"Go!" he shouted.
Before he had time to think about it, Annan pulled his legs and ran towards the side of the road, and the gas engine behind him was like a river tide.
He threw himself at a maple tree, and the majestic qi machine collided and exploded behind him, turning into countless fragments of qi that flowed across the entire official road.
In shock, Annan looked back in a daze and saw six flying swords, which had already pinched the butterfly blades of Dai Lou Duyun's hands.
Zhao Wu'an still stopped in place, but Dailou Duyun only pounced less than five feet forward.
The six swords were divided into two ways, with three swords on each side, and the blade of Dailou Duyun was blocked with the momentum of the horns. Although the scarlet butterfly blade was terrifying, it seemed that under the control of Zhao Wu'an's qi machine, there was no longer the slightest strength to fight back.
Annan was stunned. Duan Taoli in the carriage was also stunned.
Zhao Wu'an couldn't help frowning. What is the strength between Dai Lou Duyun and himself, he is also somewhat calculating in his heart. Even though the difference in rank is indeed like the next heavenly moat, how can Dai Lou Duyun really be measured by the strength of an ordinary second-grade master?
Within one move, Dailou Duyun was made by him and had no power to fight back. Zhao Wuan would not believe this anyway.
But even more unexpected things were yet to come.
Dai Lou Duyun seemed to accept his defeat in an instant, the battle intent in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the rich murderous aura around his body also dissipated invisibly at that moment.
Before Zhao Wu'an could react, Dai Lou Duyun's voice had already sounded.
"You've won. This battle, which has made you gnash your teeth for ten years, is finally coming to an end today. β
Contrary to Zhao Wu'an's expectations, Dai Lou Duyun actually carried a trace of relief when he spoke.
He couldn't help but be stunned: "You did it on purpose......"
"Don't talk nonsense!Come on, kill me!" said Dai Lou Duyun arrogantly interrupted Zhao Wu'an's words.
Zhao Wu'an was interrupted by him, and his heart swelled with annoyance for a while, and he said angrily: "What does this mean!
Dai Lou Duyun laughed wildly, "I'm already bent on death, so why do I need to pretend anymore?"
Zhao Wuan was stunned.
"Don't waste any more time, Zhao Wu'an. Dai Lou Duyun said quietly, "Pull out Luo Shenfu and kill me." can die under the Roselle sword, and there are no regrets in this life. β
Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Duyun gourd of Dailou, so he said angrily: "Did you deliberately come to this Qingdi Township to find me to die?!"
Dai Lou Duyun smiled: "Since you know, why bother asking." β
An irrepressible anger welled up in Zhao Wuan's head. It was as if something he had always cherished had been easily shattered by Dai Lou Dusk Cloud.
"If this is the case, then who is the king who has been decisively killing and turning the tide since he ascended the throne, and who has ruled Miao Jiang with iron-fisted means that he would rather kill by mistake than let go?"
Zhao Wu'an asked angrily.
"Dailou Duyun will never beg for death! As long as Miao Jiang does not cross for a day, Dailou Duyun will never cross! You would rather gamble on the entire Dengyun Tower and the lives of tens of thousands of Li people than be defeated by me, why are you here to beg for death now!"
Dai Lou Twilight Cloud chuckled in a low voice.
"You really know me better than I do, Zhao Wu'an. β
Zhao Wu'an's anger was still unsettled, but there was a sense of helplessness in Dai Lou Duyun's eyes.
"I don't want to die. There are still tens of thousands of Li people in Miao Jiang waiting for me to protect, and Sang Yu is also waiting for my return every day.
"But......
"If I don't die, you Zhao Wuxin will be uneasy. That's a good idea, isn't it?"
Zhao Wu'an was stunned.
Dai Lou Duyun smiled lightly: "So, when I came to Qingdi Township this time, I actually prepared a foolproof strategy. β
Before the words fell, something flew out of the fiery red maple forest that surprised everyone.
