Chapter Seventy-Three: Attracting the Snake
"Your Excellency is the young master of the Li family, Li Minji?"
"Exactly, what do you call your seniors?"
"Oh, Hong Youzhen, the head of the Hong family in Xialing South. I have long heard that the son of the Li family in Shuzhong ......" Hong Youzhen was interrupted by Li Minji before he finished speaking: "How is the poisoned girl?"
When Hong Youzhen was about to speak, the girl opened the curtain of the tent and walked in. She smiled at Li Minji and said, "I'm much better, thank you." ”
"In that case, I'll go first. As soon as Li Minji's words fell, he heard Hong Youzhen say: "Since Li Gongzi is here, then I have one more thing I want to trouble Li Gongzi." ”
Li Minji said slightly: "If the head of the Hong family has something to say, he will say it directly, if there is any trouble, I will help you solve it together." ”
Hearing this, Hong Youzhen smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Li Gongzi also saw it, there are only three or two big cats and kittens left in my Lingnan military camp." The men and horses in the camp were divided into two teams by me, one team is the five girls who were rescued by you just now. As for the remaining main force, I have sent it to intercept the army of the United States that is heading west to support the Heavenly Saint Divine Kingdom. But they went for three days and didn't return for a long time, so I wanted Li Gongzi to go to the front to find out the news. ”
"Chi United Kingdom?" When the girl was about to speak and stopped, Li Minji had already agreed.
"It's not a hassle. Li Minji said, and walked out of the camp with his sword. As soon as he went out with his front foot, the girl came out on her heel. The girl grabbed Li Minji and said, "I heard from them, when we came back, you met the fire demon of the United Kingdom?"
Li Minji nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
"If that's the case, won't our people be more auspicious?" The girl said this, and coughed twice.
Li Minji smiled: "It is precisely because of this that I have to go ahead and take a look." You don't have to worry about these things, what you have to do now is to stay in the camp and recuperate. ”
"I'm fine, so let's get off quickly. So saying, the girl swept forward.
Li Minji smiled and quickly followed.
"Xue Yufeng, the head of the Lingnan Hanging Gate Sword Sect, you should know him, right?" Li Minji followed unhurriedly behind the girl, and after walking for a while, he said like this.
"That's my father. ”
Li Minji teased: "No wonder your poison has just been resolved, so you are in a hurry to go to the front, Master Xue should also be in that team, right?"
The girl was speechless when she heard this, and Li Minji continued: "I don't care what you are going for, as long as you don't hold me back, remember not to disturb my plan because of your own impulse." ”
At this time, the girl nodded: "As long as you are right, then I will do everything according to you." ”
"Well, the reason why I let you come is because you still have some brains. Li Minji said, then took a leap forward, leaving the girl far behind. The girl raised her hand, looked at the criss-crossed blood-colored lines on it, and smiled: "I won't hold you back, I can't solve it." Immediately, the girl caught up.
At this time, a drizzle had fallen on the wasteland, and the black cloud funnel in the distant sky had also become five, and the sense of oppression it brought to people became more and more intense.
"The traces of the fire are heading west, and it looks like our men have not been able to stop them. Li Minji rubbed the handful of grass and wood ash in his hand and said, "I can't say ......."
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't stumble. The girl's clenched fist turned white.
Li Minji nodded and said, "I can't say, our men and horses have been wiped out." But that's not for sure, and we'll have to walk ahead to know. ”
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly struck. The wind swept up the ashes on the ground, sending them all over the air.
This time, the girl ran ahead. Li Minji looked at the girl's back and sighed helplessly: "I just hope that we can win this battle." ”
"Let's just hope you can win this battle. ”
The old god peeked at the person who was slowly walking towards the White Emperor City, and turned his head to Li Minji beside him and said. Li Minji glanced at it casually, only to see that the person who came was wearing an ink-colored hat, a hat, and a mask covered with oil paint.
The old thief said and grinned, "If you can't win this battle, then don't mention winning that person." ”
"What, there's a relationship between them?"
The old thief nodded and said, "This kind of dress is indeed his subordinates." I have paid attention to the whereabouts of this group of people in Beimang, but they are very mysterious, and they have always seen the head and the tail of the dragon. It's still your Li Jianshen's big face, and you have invited anyone. ”
The masked man was walking slowly forward, and suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck. He glanced down and saw a long sword made of water lying across his neck. At the same time, a pungent smell rushed up from the blade. He took two steps back and said coldly to the head of the White Emperor City: "I didn't expect that the famous Li Jianshen would use such an unpopular trick as poisoning." ”
The old god thief laughed and said, "Boy, it's not poison, it's just a pot of cat urine mixed with some tonic." Immediately, the old thief complained to Li Minji again: "You kid, there is something about the water in the river, why did you move the old thief to drink my wine." ”
Li Minji glanced at the old thief lightly and ignored him, but said to the masked man: "You are not worthy of fighting with me, call your master." ”
Hearing this, the masked man smiled and said: "Naturally, I don't dare to fight with Li Jianshen, and I am here to pass on a word from my master." ”
"Oh?" Li Minji's eyes froze, and the masked man felt a chill. He said in his heart, "I've never seen this Li Minji before, and I don't know how powerful he is." Looking at it today, among the sword masters in the sword ruins, it is estimated that only Zhao Juejiang in his heyday can fight with him. ”
After a moment of trance, the masked man came back to his senses and said, "Before you bring the words, I will first present a gift that my master ordered me to bring." With that, the masked man took out a small black box from his bosom and threw it at the head of the White Emperor City. Li Minji just wanted to reach out and catch the box, but was robbed by the old god.
"Let me see what kind of treasure this is, old thief. Immediately, I heard a snap. As soon as the box was opened, the old thief threw it out: "Eh, my goodness, what is this!"
Li Minji reached out and took the thing that flew out of the box in his hand.
"What does that mean?"
The masked man said lightly: "This finger belongs to President Cong Yunwei who led Ran Zhong." ”
Hearing this, Li Minji was shocked. That Ran Zhong's cultivation was clear to him, although he had won the battle a few days ago. But if Ran Zhong used his ability to press the bottom of the box, the victory or defeat of the two was still unknown. If this finger is really Ran Zhong's, how powerful the person who cut off one of his fingers should be!
"I didn't expect him to have cultivated to this point now. Li Minji threw the severed finger down from the city and muttered softly.
Seeing this, the masked man smiled and said, "My master said that he can let Li Jianshen continue to live in the world." But you have to roll down from this White Emperor City, and you have to kneel in front of my master in three steps and one kowtow, and shout three times...... Sigh!" The masked man screamed suddenly before he could finish his words. Just one of his fingers had fallen to the ground.
"I couldn't be clearer, this finger can be regarded as my return gift to your master. Li Minji laughed again: "If he is afraid, then let him come to this White Emperor City as you just said." If I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll be able to give him a happy death. ”
As Li Minji spoke, the masked man had already bandaged his wounds. He picked up the severed finger on the ground and said, "Li Jianshen, don't worry, I will give this gift to my master, and I will bring it back as it is." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and went down the mountain.
The old thief looked at the back of the masked man with a solemn face, and couldn't help but praise: "He has raised a group of good subordinates." ”
Li Minji nodded and said, "There is no doubt about his ability. ”
"Then you also believe that finger belongs to Ran Zhong? I think I also suffered a loss at that Ran Zhong's hand back then. ”
He said yes, and that's it. ”
"In that case, you should be careful. ”
"I see. ”
With that, Li Minji lay down again.
Suddenly, a red cloth floated down from the sky and covered his face, staining his eyes scarlet.
Li Minji stretched out his hand and ripped off the red cloth on his face and said, "This is a white cloth used to bandage wounds, it looks like someone is healing in front of you." ”
The girl nodded, "I see, it's Daddy's team." ”
Li Minji looked over and saw a few smiling figures walking back and forth in the distance. He smiled, "Looks like they're lucky, let's go over and see." ”
The girl was naturally more excited than Li Minji at this time, but she still forced the huge waves surging in her heart and said, "Be careful of ambushes." ”
Li Minji smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be exactly what we want to do if there is an ambush?" I'll go to the front first, and you'll stay here and be ready to support me. With that, Li Minji rushed forward, and the girl also lowered her body, and then the grass and trees slowly followed.
As soon as he got closer, Li Minji saw it clearly. In the distance, there were about 200 people who fell to the ground, but most of them were alive, but their arms, legs and feet were more or less severe. More than a dozen people who were still healthy were shuttling back and forth, hurriedly treating the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
Li Minji frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, the southern Xinjiang barbarians' thoughts are vicious, and there are suddenly so many wounded in the camp, I don't know how many troops we have to contain." After thinking about it, Li Minji sped up and moved forward. Just as he was less than a hundred feet away from the people in front of him, a fire suddenly surged up from the ground. In an instant, this blazing black flame enveloped Li Minji.
The flame burned more and more, and in the blink of an eye, it soared several feet high. The fire was bright, and the light rain fell on it, and it turned into white mist in an instant.
Seeing this, the girl hastened her pace, but by the time he arrived, the flames had already dissipated. A long red sword, lying alone on the ground.
At this time, the crowd on the other side also saw the flame that suddenly rose on the field. A middle-aged man with a goatee and a gentle face sighed, "They really want to trap us here alive!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting in front of him: "Daddy!"
"It's okay!" The middle-aged man's face was happy, and then he turned pale and shouted into the distance: "It's okay, you stay where you are and don't move!"
The girl looked at the protruding dirt bags on the ground, and said secretly in her heart: "Presumably this is where the ambush is." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man had already walked over, and as soon as he saw the girl who was squatting on the ground studying the dirt bags, he shouted: "It's okay, don't move! By the way, who triggered this trap?"
The girl smiled and said, "My daughter saw that these dirt bags were strange, so she threw a stone and tried it." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's good that no one is injured, by the way, why are you alone in the camp?
"Daddy, now is not the time to talk about this, we should hurry back to the barracks. ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "With so many people injured, it's not easy to go." ”
Seeing the middle-aged man's depressed face, the girl raised her eyebrows and shouted: "You have to go back if you crawl, you can only wait for death if you stay here!" Daddy, you go and organize all the uncles and uncles to come over, and the daughter has triggered these traps and made a way out. ”
"......"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was still hesitating, the girl said with a dull face: "The doctor is all in the barracks now, if you don't go back now, don't you want to kill everyone?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'll go here." Then he turned around and muttered, "This child, how can you have a temper with her mother." ”
After the middle-aged man left, he saw that flames kept rising on the field, and the fire was bright, reflecting the confused faces.
By the time everyone helped them over, half an hour had passed. Seeing this, the girl shouted to everyone: "Seniors, let's go forward first, the reinforcements from Shuzhong have already rushed towards us." ”
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope finally rose in their confused expressions.
As soon as the girl's voice fell, the middle-aged man shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone work hard, when we go back after winning the battle, we are all heroes galloping through the rivers and lakes!"
When everyone heard the sound, it was as if they had returned to the days when they toasted and laughed loudly in an unknown tavern. All of a sudden, there was pride and echoed in unison.
After all, I don't know how many times more cruel this battlefield battle is than the battle in the rivers and lakes.
Everyone supported each other in the direction of the camp, and when it was completely dark, and the blood-colored stars rose in the sky, everyone was already far away.
At this moment, two men and a woman emerged from a huge dead tree.
The two men were tall and tense with strong tendons. And the girl standing between the two of them, under their background, looked extremely delicate.
The girl was dressed in a red dress with two small horns on her forehead. The girl smiled, "Follow them now, and you should be able to find where their camp is." These Han people are really as annoying as mosquitoes, and I don't see if I burn them clean. With that, she walked forward, followed by the two giants.
But as soon as the three of them had taken two steps, the girl in red stopped. With a wave of her hand, a tongue of fire erupted from her sleeve.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a figure broke through the ground in an instant.
"If you want to set fire to someone, get past me first. The figure fell to the ground, and with a gesture of his hand, the long sword lying on the ground flew past.
The girl in red frowned slightly, and she shouted softly: "No one has dared to lie to me since I was a child, you really damn it!" the girl said, and opened her mouth to spit out a strange note-like sentence. Suddenly, the two giants rushed towards the people who were blocking their path.
Li Minji smiled when he saw this, and when he saw the burned grass and trees, he sensed that something was wrong. No matter how stupid the people of the United Kingdom are, I'm afraid they won't always make such a swaggering huge fire demon.
However, Li Minji didn't think much about it at the time, but when he found out that there were still people in his team alive, he was even more suspicious. How cruel the armies of the sixteen countries in southern Xinjiang were, he had seen it, and none of the armies that were defeated by them survived. Li Minji felt that there was a ghost, so he told the girl what he thought in his heart, and discussed a countermeasure together.
That is, Li Minji stepped forward first to explore the truth and reality, if the enemy really wanted to lure the enemy deeper, then they saw that Li Minji was only one person, and most of them would not show up. If they show up, then Li Minji and the girl will be able to fight back and forth.
If Li Minji did not attract ambushes, but found a trap, then he would have pretended to be a trick and hid in the shadows to see what the enemy was doing. The girl felt that although Li Minji's plan was not too flawed, she was afraid that if there were too many ambushes, Li Minji would not be able to deal with it.
Li Minji was confident, and he said, the intelligence that the United Kingdom was going west to support the Heavenly Saint God Kingdom, and the people in their Shu also knew something. Therefore, the main purpose of the United States is to support the western battlefield, and if they really ambush people here, it must not be too much. He, Li Minji, is still conceited and can deal with it.
So Li Minji pretended to be a trick, and when the flames were rising, he used his true qi to break through the ground and drill into the ground. Then the girl who came followed the plan, she led a group of wounded soldiers first, and let Li Minji continue to stay here to observe the situation.
Hearing what the girl in red said just now, Li Minji knew everything. The location of the Lingnan camp was extremely hidden, and although he had obtained the map from the beginning, it took a lot of effort to find the camp. Later, he left the girls far behind, but in the end he let them catch up.
At this time, seeing the two giants rushing over, Li Minji crossed the long sword in his hand and said: "Although my sword can't be a million soldiers, it is more than enough to block a few of you." ”
