Chapter 697: The Old Man Reunites
Li Yuru heard Yang Xiaofei's shouts outside, and knew that something must have happened, but she didn't dare to go out immediately, so she still asked in advance: "Xiaofei, what's going on?"
There was no answer outside, if someone attacked him to death, at least there would be a scream, but Yang Xiaofei screamed outside and didn't react anymore, then there was only one possibility-Yang Xiaofei was pointed, Li Yu thought so.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the uninvited guests were not invited in from outside the tent.
Li Yuru seemed to know this person, and her expression was suddenly surprised......
"It's you ......" After a long time, Li Yuru replied slowly.
The person who came was a plain silk woman, with a beautiful face and a sword in her hand, and the person who came didn't ask, so she naturally sneaked in to find the Emei disciple who came to find Li Yuxia's whereabouts.
"You are Qingxue......" Li Yuru gently beckoned the other party's name - the Emei disciple who "infiltrated" was indeed Qingxue, and just like the previous plan, Hua Ling and the others attracted the attention of Zhao Zichuan and other generals at the main gate, and Qingxue sneaked into the camp from the rear side camp.
"Miss Li, we meet again......" Qing Xue was different from Hua Ling and other Emei disciples, seeing Li Yuru, Qing Xue did not put on a "bad" expression, but turned to a gentle face, as if the person standing in front of her was not a mortal person entrusted by the gang rules, but as if she was a friend or sister who met each other.
"Did Xiaofei be ordered by you outside?" Li Yuru was still concerned about Yang Xiaofei who had an "accident" outside the tent for the first time, so she asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary point, and it will be solved by itself after half an hour......" Qingxue didn't seem to be in a hurry, and there was no tension at all in the conversation with Li Yuru.
"Qingxue girl, I haven't seen you for a long time, I almost can't recognize you......" Thinking of the long-lost grievances between herself and the Emei faction, and hearing that the other party had no malicious intentions, Li Yuru also turned to a calm tone and said, "But you came here, I think it should also be the order of Master Aojing, in this way, the disciples of the Emei faction have always acted collectively, and you should be more than just Qingxue girl......"
"You're right, Miss Li......" Qingxue explained calmly, "We are here to arrest Miss Li on the orders of our master, just ......like the kendo tournament more than a year ago."
"Then why are you alone? Also, how do you know my whereabouts......" Li Yuru continued to ask curiously.
Qingxue smiled slightly, and said 1510: "Shizun guesses, Miss Li, after you and Zhao Gongzi get married, you will definitely go together; Zhao Zichuan and Zhao Gongzi swore to inherit the will of the Zhao family, and they will also go to the battlefield with a sword and kill Yidi, and your dignified 'Yangzhou Woman' will naturally go with you in terms of personality...... In the Northern Expedition to Shandong, Zhao Gongzi's name was in the Central Plains, and almost everyone knew the whereabouts of Zhao Gongzi and General Zhao, so ......"
"So you can find the whereabouts of Zhu Yuanzhang's main army, and if you find our troops, you can find me......" Li Yuru said, and then shook his head, "Hey, really, I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to be famous, and after such a long time, Master Aojing still refuses to let me go...... But you still didn't say why you were the only one who came. β
Qingxue followed closely: "Because before coming to the barracks, I discussed countermeasures with Senior Sister Hualing, and Senior Sister Hualing led people to attract the main force at the gate of the barracks, and I entered from the back camp alone...... Of course, it's not good, but in the end, I was the first to find you, Miss Li, and I ......."
"No wonder there was such a big movement outside just now, I'm afraid it was your Senior Sister Hualing and those Emei disciples who were making a big fuss again...... Then what do you want to do now that you have succeeded in 'taking advantage of the situation'?" Li Yuru made all possible preparations, closed her eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you taking me back and letting your master fall?"
"No-" However, Qingxue's expression was slightly serious, and she said in a surprising voice, "I came up with this plan, so naturally I have my plan...... I sneaked in here alone, just to remind Miss Li before them, so that you can be more careful, I heard that the war on the border of Xiangyang is imminent, Miss Li, don't let the master and Senior Sister Hualing take advantage of the chaos......"
I didn't expect Qingxue, as a disciple of Emei, to be kind enough to come to remind her. However, Li Yuru seemed to be able to vaguely guess something, looking at Qingxue's frank and sincere expression, Li Yuru not only frowned......
At the gate of the barracks......
Zhao Zichuan's last move, "Dragon Sword Breaking", collided head-on with the "Divine Annihilation Sword Light" that Hua Ling had gathered with all his might, and the internal force rushed wildly, but in the end it was a defeat - Hua Ling was far from expecting that Zhao Zichuan's internal strength and sword energy were not the same as before, and he tried his best, but he ended up with a heavy burden of internal injuries; and Zhao Zichuan single-handedly entangled more than 100 rounds with all the Emei disciples in the Emei sword array, with a firm belief in strong revenge, even the Emei disciples several times, and finally fought with Hua Ling's "narrow road" , is also exhausted, and can no longer pick up half a point of the long sword......
Fortunately, the final "Dragon Sword Technique" is full of power, and its deterrence is enough to make Hua Ling and other Emei disciples unable to fight anymore, and even Hua Ling, who is the chief disciple, fights until his internal strength is exhausted, not to mention the other disciples.
Zhao Zichuan fell back to Li Xian, Li Gong and other soldiers, while the injured Emei disciples fell together. Unexpectedly, the dignified "Emei Sword Formation" was easily defeated by Zhao Zichuan's "Death Charge", Hua Ling was very unconvinced, but although Zhao Zichuan couldn't fight, the cronies and soldiers behind him would definitely not sit idly by, if he and the remnants of the disciples who were seriously injured at this time forcibly broke into the camp, they would not be the opponents of more than 1,000 soldiers under Zhao Zichuan......
"General, are you okay?" Seeing that Zhao Zichuan was physically exhausted and fell to the ground, bleeding continuously, it was difficult to even stand up, Li Xian and the others ran over and said worriedly.
Similarly, Hua Ling's injuries were not light, and the last time she "charged and fought", Hua Ling's body seemed to have been hit as strongly as a mountain and a sea, and she could no longer exert any force.
The Emei disciple beside him, who was slightly injured, was not at ease, and immediately came over and asked with concern, "Senior Sister Hualing, are you okay?"
"I don't care...... It doesn't matter......" Hua Ling tried to calm her breath, but looking at the serious injury, it seemed that she was a little too reckless, at least it was unrealistic to catch Li Yuru today.
"Then what should we do now, Senior Sister?" Yueli asked worriedly.
"Zhao Zichuan still has a thousand soldiers under him, and it is obviously ......impossible for us to be seriously injured and break through," Hua Ling said stoically, "The order that the master gave us before was to find Li Yuru's whereabouts, and he didn't let us do it directly...... This time, it was I who was reckless and forced my way into the camp, causing you to be injured...... But now that we know Li Yuru's whereabouts, let's let them go first-let's retreat today and capture Li Yuru for the next day......"
After speaking, Hua Ling, supported by all the disciples, prepared to leave the camp.
However, now that they are seriously injured and unable to walk, the soldiers of the pioneer battalion, who have been silent, will obviously not agree. They looked at Hua Ling and the others with fierce eyes, not only took advantage of the emptiness of the military camp to harass them, but also injured General Zhao Zichuan, saying that it would not be so simple to let Hua Ling and the others go......
"Come on, take down these thieves for me!" Sure enough, Li Xian couldn't help it, and shouted to his soldiers.
"Yes-" All the soldiers responded in unison, and they all showed their blades and pressed towards Hua Ling and the others.
If it were normal times, Hua Ling and the others would have no problem entanglement with them, but now that they are seriously injured, let alone subduing them, it is still a question of whether they can be saved...... Even if his martial arts are strong, and his internal strength is exhausted when he is seriously injured, the disciples of the Emei faction who come from the dignified martial arts will be helpless.
"Damn, it's all Zhao Zichuan, if it weren't for the last swordsmanship...... Hua Ling suddenly felt that she was a little unlucky, now all the staff were seriously injured and possessed, no one could save the current emergency fire, and she and the others were helpless, so they could only wait slowly for the end of being executed by the soldiers in the battalion......
"Stop-" At the critical moment, Zhao Zichuan's military order suddenly sounded behind him.
Zhao Zichuan gave the call, but his subordinates did not dare to disobey, and the soldiers who just wanted to give Hua Ling and the others some color to take a look at also stopped.
Zhao Zichuan fell to the ground, endured the pain on his body and said, "Let her go...... No one is allowed to touch them without my order-" Zhao Zichuan was in pain, and actually issued such an inexplicable military order.
"Why?" Li Xian asked aloud unwillingly, unincomprehensibly.
Not only Li Xian and the others, but also Hua Ling and the Emei disciples on the opposite side also cast a surprised look at Zhao Zichuan when they heard this.
Zhao Zichuan continued: "Let her go, General Ben has said, this matter is General Ben's personal grudge, and it is up to me to decide whether to kill or not......
"But they may be thieves of the enemy's army, and if we let them go like this, I'm afraid they will ......," the soldier on the side said a little worriedly.
"Don't worry, they are not thieves of the enemy army, if they were, they wouldn't have walked the camp so swaggeringly...... Zhao Zichuan continued to explain, "Yuru and I have caused some troubles in the rivers and lakes, and these unpaid personal grievances will be left to me and Yuru to deal with...... Our main energy now should be on dealing with the Yuan army and guarding the camp, and letting them go can be regarded as reducing the burden on the army......"
There is no way, Zhao Zichuan is the main general, and the military orders are not disobeyed. After retracting the blades in their hands, they slowly retreated back to the same place, and could only cast unwilling glances at Hua Ling and the others.
Hua Ling endured the pain, stared at Zhao Zichuan with both eyes, seemed to understand something, and simply smiled coldly: "Hmph, I understand, you deliberately let us go, you don't want your subordinates to be implicated in the grievances of the rivers and lakes that have nothing to do with right and wrong, right......?"
Zhao Zichuan didn't answer immediately, but looked at Hua Ling with firm eyes.
Hua Ling continued to sneer: "But don't think that if you send a favor, we won't come again...... Zhao Zichuan, listen up, as long as Li Yuru lives for a day, our Emei faction will not stop chasing her. Whether you are in an easy world or a troubled world, and marry Li Yuru as your wife, you don't want to escape from the Emei faction in your life-"
After listening to this, Zhao Zichuan showed a confident smile and responded without showing weakness: "Hmph, okay, as long as I am here, you don't want to hurt Yu Ru a cold hair, I, Zhao Zichuan, are waiting for you at any time - provided that you really have the ability to do this......"
This sentence was obviously a provocation to refute, and Hua Ling was immediately angry when she heard it. But now that he is seriously injured, and he and others are powerless, Zhao Zichuan gave himself and others a chance to retreat safely, and he and others can only leave temporarily in disgrace.
"Let's goβ" Hua Ling ordered disdainfully in resentment, and the Emei disciples such as Lan Xin and Yueli helped each other to stand up, and left the vanguard barracks one after another......
Zhao Zichuan let himself and others live, and Hua Ling and the others left safely. But Hua Ling didn't seem to give up the pursuit of Li Yuru, and after leaving the barracks for a long time, she was still thinking about her previous plan......
"By the way, I asked Qingxue to sneak in the side camp, why is there no news?" Hua Ling asked impatiently when she saw that Qingxue had not come back for a long time.
"It should be soon...... Lan Xin persuaded on the side, "Senior Sister, didn't you also send other sisters to follow Senior Sister Qingxue before?"
"Yes, Qingxue is against me everywhere on weekdays, and this time it is really a little suspicious to agree so quickly to search for Li Yuru's plan......" Hua Ling muttered alone, "I simply sent other disciples to follow up this time to see what the hell this Qingxue is up to, there has been no news for so long......"
It seems that Hua Ling has always been in her heart about her "competitor" Qingxue, this time she guessed it, but she couldn't guess it, Qingxue and Li Yuru also have a deep friendship, this time Qingxue took the initiative to choose the side camp to sneak in, in order to remind Li Yuru's safety......
And at this moment, Li Yuru was in the tent......
"I didn't expect you to be so kind, you would come to the camp to remind me of my safety......" Li Yuru was both relieved and curious about Qingxue's dangerous help, so she continued to ask, "But why? You are a disciple of the Emei faction, and you should have come to arrest me, why do you want to take such a risk to help me?"
Qingxue smiled slightly, and then said, "Because Miss Li, you are my benefactor, I am very grateful to you-"
"Benefactor?" Li Yuru was a little incredulous, and laughed to herself, "I don't remember what I helped you...... If you say such things at this time, I ...... I still can't accept it......" Li Yuru was obviously a little flattered.
"That day in the cave on the outskirts of Bianliang Nanshan, Miss Li, the other party you were imprisoned, you and I said a lot of things......" Qingxue recalled and said, "Maybe these words are taken for granted to you, Miss Li, so I am not impressed, but for me, they have benefited a lot and completely changed my lifeββ"
"I ...... Did you say anything?" Li Yuru didn't seem to remember, and asked with some shame.
"Miss Li, you may not remember, but I remember it very clearly, Miss Li's words and deeds at that time ......" said, Qingxue helped Li Yuru recall the past of the conversation between the two in the suburbs of Nanshan......
(in recall)......
In a cave on the outskirts of Bianliang Mountain......
Qingxue eased her nerves and continued: "When I was a child, my parents died under the knife of the Mongols, and later the head of the Emei faction, Master Aojing, rescued me from the knife of the Mongols, for this, I am very grateful to Master Aojing...... However, after Master Aojing rescued me, she forcibly let me join the Emei faction, cut off all red dust, and abide by the gang rules. In the Emei faction, I was discriminated against and humiliated, and Master Aojing was extremely harsh and mean to me, and I lived a life that was worse than death every day. I also thought about changing myself with my own strength, and later I heard that the higher the status of the people in the gang, the better the treatment. So I practiced martial arts diligently for ten years and defeated many of my fellow disciples of the Emei faction. I finally won a bit of status, but there is a senior sister Hualing in front of me who I have never been able to defeat. Senior Sister Hualing has excellent martial arts skills and is a rare talent in the Emei faction, but she also targets me everywhere in the gang, discriminates and suppresses me. It can be said that as long as she is there, I will never find dignity. And Senior Sister Hualing has the support of Master Aojing, who trusts her, and Mrs. Aojing also looks down on me and discriminates against me, so I almost don't have any hope for my future......" As she spoke, Qingxue's eyes moistened a little.
"I pity your life experience, but I don't pity your later experience...... Who knows, Li Yuru not only did not comfort Qingxue with words of pity, but said in a slightly critical tone, "If you don't have dignity, you can rob it, you don't have strength in the gang, and you deserve to be discriminated against-"
"What......" Qingxue didn't know why Li Yuru was in such a tone to herself.
Li Yuru continued: "Do you know, before I became the 'Furong Woman' in Yangzhou, I lived under the coercion of the tyranny of the Mengyuan Dynasty, do you think my dignity will be higher than yours...... However, it is precisely because I have no dignity that I will fight for dignity and speak with strength! Since the Mengyuan court dares to oppress us the people of the Central Plains, I dare to fight against them, so I vowed to save the people of the Central Plains from the shackles of the tyranny of the Mengyuan Dynasty. I can become a 'Hibiscus Woman', it is all based on determination and strength, how much suffering I have endured behind it, who can know better than me, but who can not know the hardships? Although from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to hate Aojing Shitai, I don't want this hatred to get deeper and deeper, but as far as I am concerned, I will not let myself be killed by Aojing Shitai like a mustard, and in some truths, I will keep my principles and strive for the most basic dignity of the individual under the truth!
Qingxue listened to Li Yuru's words, and her spirit seemed to be shocked.
Li Yuru looked at Qingxue and continued: "Take Qingxue girl as an example, you have failed repeatedly, and you have lost hope in life so quickly, how can you get your dignity? If you want to get the truth, you have to fight for it with countless sweat and hard work. If you give up halfway, the original facts will not change, the old laws will not change, no one will sympathize with you, and you will only be the one who will accompany you in your decline and fall into the coffin! Therefore, if you want to change anything, only you can do it. What if you can't win Hualing, practice if you can't win, practice and then fight, and practice again if you can't win, until you get the truth you want, otherwise, no one will agree with you, and you won't get the dignity you want!"
......
(In reality)......
"I seem to ...... Did you say such a thing......" Li Yuru seemed to gradually remember, and replied silently...... (To be continued.) )
