Li Xiao fell off the horse, rolled on the ground a few times, and saw the enemy swinging the knife, and immediately rolled on a donkey to avoid the blade, but although he reacted quickly, he lost his martial arts, but he was far inferior to the enemy in action, and just about to turn over, the two flashing blades slashed straight down.

At the moment of crisis, the golden blood beads suspended in his heart trembled, and suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, and then, a semicircular barrier suddenly appeared above his head, blocking the falling blade.

"Ding Ding"

With two crisp sounds, the blades of the two horse chopping knives fell on the golden barrier, not only did they not split the barrier, but they were shattered and splashed by the powerful rebound force that erupted from the barrier, and the two black-clothed men holding the knives vomited blood and flew upside down in unison.

Seeing this, Li Xiao hurriedly picked up the few true qi in his body, stretched out his hands, instantly pinched the two pieces of shattered blade fragments, and threw them at the two black-clothed people, only to hear "Hmm...... Hmm......" two muffled snorts, and the two who flew upside down fell to the ground with a bang, and there was no movement for a long time.

Turning over suddenly, Li Xiao looked at the bloodstained chests of the two black-clothed men from a distance, for a long time, seeing that they did not react, he guessed in his heart that most of the two of them had already died, after all, they were just two mortal-level ninth-level martial artists, and the realm gap was there, if they were changed to first-grade martial artists, they would have avoided it a long time ago.

Cautiously walking to the corpses of the two, leaning over and taking off the face towels on their faces, Li Xiao saw two dark, vicissitudes of middle-aged faces, carefully searched the whole body of the two, except for two daggers and a dozen taels of silver, there was no clue, exactly, who sent them to kill him? and why did he know his location?

"Only send two mortal-level ninth-level martial artists, it means that the other party knows that my martial arts are wasted, if you use the jade plate to contact, it will only be a moment to get this news thousands of miles away, presumably, now the entire Great Song Kingdom, I am afraid that many people already know that I was abolished and cultivated, expelled from the Quanzhen Sword Sect, even if the Hou Ye father who is far away at the border, I am afraid that he will get the news early. ”

"In this way, it will be difficult to check, is it the Quanzhen Sword Sect, the capital, or the Heavenly Master Sect? It's just that in the Chosen Land that day, he killed all the disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect present, so he shouldn't leak the news, right? Could it be that Qu Wanrou told them?"

Li Xiao thought about it and couldn't figure it out, so he had to collect the dagger and broken silver and hurry on foot.

He was lucky, and not long after he walked, a caravan of 100 people came behind him, and the merchant owner in the team heard that he wanted to take a ride, and seeing that he did not look like a villain, he agreed to the request and asked him to bring a horse for him to travel.

The merchant owner of the caravan was a middle-aged fat man wearing a blue brocade robe, a black scarf, and a mustache on his mouth.

"Hmm. Li Xiao nodded and said, "However, not to Liangzhou, but to the capital." ”

"Oh. The middle-aged fat man suddenly said, "The capital is far from Liangzhou, and there is a state away, the little brother is on the road alone, but you must be careful, the road is not smooth recently." ”

"Thank you Uncle Liu for reminding me. Li Xiao smiled and said, "By the way, does Uncle Liu know that there have been any major events in China recently?"

"Big deal?" The fat man tilted his head and thought about it, before he said: "I heard that the barbarians of the Northern Plains have begun to invade my Great Song Frontier again, however, there is a town far away to guard, we are not worried, by the way, there is another big thing, that is, the son of the town far wait, when the little Hou Ye participated in the sect trial, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and killed hundreds of his fellow disciples, and now he was expelled by the Quanzhen Sword Sect, and his martial arts were abolished, if it weren't for the face of the Hou Ye, he would have ...... long ago Alas, how could Zhenyuan Hou give birth to such a waste son!"

"Hmm...... There is also the little prince of the Great Liang Kingdom, who came to our country to ask for the princess......"

The middle-aged fat man talked all the way, unconsciously, the sky darkened, when the caravan arrived outside the city of Liangzhou, it coincided with the city gate was about to close, seeing this, they hurriedly accelerated into the city, but unexpectedly, they were blocked by the soldiers defending the city.

No matter how many people tried to defend the city, the soldiers who defended the city said that they would not let the caravan into the city, saying that they had missed the time and that they had to wait until the next morning, unless they had a warrant from the county guard, and that they would have to wait until tomorrow.

Just when everyone was secretly scolding the bad luck, the half-closed city gate in front opened again, and a team of more than 200 black-armored cavalry, holding torches, rushed out of the city gate violently, passing by the caravan, the first one was wearing black armor, covered with iron helmets, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the general with a tiger's back and bear's waist, swept the middle-aged fat man and Li Xiao, and immediately reined in the horse, and the whole team immediately stopped.

Jumping off the horse neatly, the black-armored general trotted all the way, and in front of the two people who came, he knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Li Yun!

"Li Yun?"

Li Xiao flashed information about Li Yun in his mind, he was the general of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the new young general of the Great Song Dynasty, born a commoner, brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, quite favored by his father, and intended to be adopted as a righteous son, focusing on cultivation, however, this Li Yun looked at him with contempt, and seemed to be very prejudiced against him.

"It turned out to be Brother Li!" Li Xiao picked up Li Yun and said with a smile: "Since my father asked you to pick me up, presumably, you also know about me, right?"

"I've heard a little!" Li Yun nodded and said indignantly: "That Quanzhen Sword Sect really doesn't know how to raise it! Relying on the fact that he is one of the five major factions, he has no one in his eyes! He still dares to abolish the young master's martial arts!" Speaking of this, his eyes were cold, and he said disdainfully: "Young master, don't worry! When the war in Beiyuan is calmed down, Hou Ye will definitely come to the door in person to seek justice for you!"

"We'll talk about that later. Li Xiao said, turned his head to the stunned middle-aged fat man beside him, hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Uncle Liu for giving me a ride, now I am going to the city, if you want to enter, follow us." ”

"Where...... Where...... Small...... Little Marquis, guest ...... You're polite......" The middle-aged fat man was speechless in shock, and everyone behind him was also sluggish, the young man in front of him was actually the son of Zhenyuan Hou who they were talking about before, the waste who was greedy for life and afraid of death!

"Quick! Hurry up and go into the city with the little marquis!" After all, he is a merchant and has seen all the winds and waves, and after being stunned for a while, he immediately scolded everyone to follow the iron horse into the city.

"Welcome the young master back to Beijing!" Seeing Li Xiao striding over and riding a handsome and extraordinary war horse, the black-armored cavalry immediately clasped their fists and saluted, and their voices shook the sky.

"Well, everyone has worked hard!" nodded to the crowd, and he rode his horse slowly into Liangzhou City.

Early the next morning, Li Xiao walked out of the post house, boarded the prepared carriage, and went straight to the capital under the escort of three hundred iron horsemen.

Ten days later, everyone finally arrived in the capital, because the Beijing division did not allow local soldiers to enter in groups, so Li Xiao only brought twenty black-armored soldiers into the city, and the remaining more than 100 people, all went to the black-armored camp stationed outside the city to report.

The capital of the Great Song Dynasty is not worse than the Imperial City of Great Qin, and even more prosperous, on both sides of the street, there are many pavilions and shops, tea stalls, fruit stalls, and grocery stalls can be seen everywhere, and the roads are crowded with people, officials, vendors, women, young ladies, etc., as well as the gorgeous proud, full of caravans with foreign characteristics, all kinds of noisy noises, blend together, form a beautiful picture of prosperity.

When Li Xiao and the others rode to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, the door was full of people, pointing and pointing inside, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

followed everyone's expectations, but saw a woman in white, standing proudly in front of the Hou Mansion, staring coldly at an old man with a white beard and a green shirt a few steps ahead, and more than a dozen wailing guards were lying around the two.

This woman in white, Li Xiao didn't know, the old man in green shirt at the door, he recognized at a glance, it was the housekeeper of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, Zhu Fu.

"Fu Bo, what's the matter?" Li Xiao jumped off the horse and walked up quickly, frowning, looking at the Hou Mansion guards lying on the ground wailing in pain.

"Less...... Young Master!" Zhu Fu was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Xiao carefully, and said with teary eyes: "Young Master, you are back! Why have you lost so much weight?

When the woman in white heard this, she looked at Li Xiao and said in surprise: "You are Li Hao, the waste who harmed the Quanzhen Sword Sect?"

"Your Excellency?" Li Xiao frowned and looked at the woman in white with a contemptuous look in her eyes.

Without waiting for the woman in white to reply, Zhu Fu whispered in Li Xiao's ear: "Young Master, she is the strongest of our Five Great Song Sects, a disciple of the Qinglian Sect, and the master of the Pingyang County Lord, this time she is here to replace ...... Divorce for the lord of Pingyang!"

"Divorced?, Pingyang County Lord?" Li Xiao frowned, in his memory, this body didn't seem to have contact with Pingyang County Lord, so how could there be a marriage contract?

"Young master, you don't know anything. Zhu Fu glanced at the woman in white with some palpitations, and said in a low voice: "Your marriage contract with the county lord of Pingyang was made thirteen years ago, when you were still children, the Hou Ye and the king of Xiangyang...... In short, they had a good reason to withdraw from the marriage. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Fu continued: "Young master, the master of the county lord of Pingyang, that is, the woman in front of her, her status in Qinglian Gate is not ordinary, to put it mildly, even if she kills us on the spot, she will not have anything to do, and the Hou Ye has no way to take her, and now, she is here on behalf of her apprentice, obviously determined to withdraw from this marriage." ”

"How can such a thing happen?"

Li Xiao suddenly understood the reason, it turned out that the Xiangyang Wangfu and the Qinglian Sect had long wanted to withdraw from this marriage, worried that they would anger the Quanzhen Sword Sect and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion at the same time, and they had been enduring it until now, and now that they were expelled and their martial arts were wasted, they couldn't help jumping out anymore, relying on the support of the first sect of the Great Song Dynasty, they had no scruples and forcibly came to the door to withdraw from the marriage.

However, even if they don't come to the door, after Li Xiao knows about this matter in the future, he will definitely negotiate with the Xiangyang Mansion to dissolve the marriage, since the other party made a special trip to the door to slap his face, then, he can't return the marriage so easily, if he relents and withdraws from this marriage, then in the future, what face does the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion have to gain a foothold in the capital?

The woman in white waited quietly, and the old man in the green shirt narrated the incident to Li Xiao, and after estimating that the time was about the same, she said coldly: "Now that you know the whole thing, do you have any plans? I didn't come here to discuss with you, there is no room for maneuver in this matter! I must return the marriage contract! Otherwise, I will destroy the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion today!"
