Chapter 66: The Last Descendant of Emperor Zhong
After Yuan Li finished speaking, he handed a bag of things to the man, no longer pretending to be a gesture, and said a little kindly: "Leader Xiao, this is your reward, since the little nephew is unwilling to participate, then he will go, you will follow me in the future, and then I will regain the world and make you a general." ”
The person named Leader Xiao took the money bag in Yuan Li's hand, checked it, was very satisfied, and said heartily: "Then thank you Lord Gonghai, I don't know what Lord Gonghai plans to do in the future." ”
Yuan Liyi said in a righteous manner: "Now that the north has just been decided, there will inevitably be many Cao thieves and spies, so we can't go there, we should go south and wait for the fighters." ”
Leader Xiao asked with a somewhat gloomy face at this time: "I don't know how much capital the Lord of the High Seas has to recruit people?"
It seemed that he was talking about the difficulty, Yuan Li didn't speak, looked at Leader Xiao, thought for a while and said: "After the country was broken, I didn't bring too much property, but I got to know a lot of strange people, and I also had the strength to fight in the face of thousands of troops. ”
"Haha! Strange people, Lord of the High Seas, Cao Sikong has hundreds of thousands of horses under his command, how many strange people can you stop?" Leader Xiao laughed, and the laughter spread throughout the forest, and said sarcastically.
"What do you mean by this? Although I have a small number of people at present, they all have their own specialties, and they are all heroes, are you worried that I will follow in his footsteps like my brother?" Yuan Li said very unhappily when he saw the performance of Leader Xiao, obviously looking down on himself.
"Lord High Sea, I came back this time to report, in addition to speaking for Yuan Yilang, there is another matter, I don't know if Lord High Seas might guess?" Leader Xiao deliberately asked Yuan Li, looking at him provocatively, with a malicious smile on his face.
Yuan Li was suddenly a little nervous, Leader Xiao was the leader of a mountain thief, he thought he could use it, but he didn't expect to be controlled by it, now it seems that there is more luck and less luck, so he pretended to be calm and said: "How can you guess, Leader Xiao has something to say, please speak up." ”
Leader Xiao laughed out loud, laughing very arrogantly, and then said to Yuan Li: "Yuan Yilang not only sent me to inform you this time, but also asked me to take your head, since Wu Hou Sun Quan took over the Jiangdong overlord, he has been wary of Yuan Yilang everywhere, as long as you offer your head, Yuan Yilang can win the trust of Wu Hou, I can also get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, and recruit to the army, the official to the middle general, what do you say?"
After speaking, Leader Xiao continued to laugh wildly, Yuan Li was sweating all over his body at this time, and his whole body was trembling, it seemed that he could not escape his doom tonight, and he was at a loss for a while, and he was terrified.
Seeing Yuan Li's appearance, Xiao Leader was even more relieved, it seemed that the money was about to arrive, and the official was also about to arrive, pointing at Yuan Li and shouting: "Brothers, whoever takes his head, I will reward him with one hundred taels of silver, and when I become an official, I will also appoint him as a guard." ”
When the more than 20 people heard this, they became excited, and they all rode their horses and prepared to rush towards Yuanli, for fear of being preempted by others.
Yuan Li saw this formation and stayed in place in fright, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't move, but the corners of his mouth showed a trace of contempt, and he secretly thought that he was really overwhelmed, and when the cavalry was about to arrive, Yuan Li suddenly yelled in the direction of Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao: "Two Taoist friends, when the contemptible people are now in a life-and-death situation, can they help me, and the contemptible people will be grateful in the future." ”
Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao were watching quietly, they didn't understand what these people were arguing about, and they didn't make any sound, and they were suddenly yelled at by Yuan Li, and couldn't help but shudder, how could he know that he was hiding here, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao were puzzled, they could be involved in trouble without doing anything, so they chose to lie down and pretend that no one was there.
For the roar of the original ceremony, Leader Xiao only thought that he was a poor donkey, and wanted to divert everyone's attention and take the opportunity to escape, but as a thief for many years, he was still alert to that direction, and just saw Zhang Xiao shuddering, he had observed that the officers and soldiers were also hiding, and now he saw a phantom for a moment, and immediately knew that there was indeed someone there, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, go there halfway to have a look, and if you find someone to be executed immediately, the reward will be correct." ”
And just when everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao's side, Yuan Li took the opportunity to hide aside, and his body actually exuded a black aura, wrapping himself, and he could no longer be found in the dark.
After Leader Xiao commanded his subordinates, he immediately looked at Yuan Li, Yuan Li was the focus, but when he turned around, there was no shadow of Yuan Li, and he couldn't help but feel a bad secret, and he and a few subordinates next to him began to look for it.
Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao were depressed at this time, how could it develop like this, I saw that the group of cavalry had jumped off their horses and crawled towards the location of Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao, and the closer they climbed, the battle was inevitable.
"Cousin, you can't hurt your life no matter what, you wait here, I'll deal with them. Zhang Xiao whispered to Zhang Xiao, then got up, ready to exude aura.
Zhang Xiao immediately stopped Zhang Xiao and said: "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, how could I not want to try my hand, I won't hurt them, just let me come." ”
Zhang Xiao was pulled aside by Zhang Xiao, and he had no choice but to let her come. Dealing with these mortals, how could they stump Zhang Yao, emit aura and turn into a magic seal, easily integrate into these people's bodies, and launch the Bewitching Immortal Technique without any hindrance.
The group climbed to the location of Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao, but they didn't find anything, so they reported to Leader Xiao: "Boss, there's nothing here, and I can't find any traces." ”
Leader Xiao didn't smile at all at this time, and felt that he was still in the middle of the plan, so he let the original gift run away, and everything was going to be in vain.
At this moment, there was a big movement around, the earth began to tremble slightly, the sound of trees brushing non-stop, it felt as if something huge was about to appear, Leader Xiao immediately thought that there were a few strangers around Yuan Li, maybe they had already prepared to ambush nearby, it seemed that they were really wrong.
"Brothers, gather together, and do not be separated. Leader Xiao shouted to his men on the mountain, he knew something bad was about to happen.
When the people on the mountain were still groping their way down, an anomaly appeared, and in the darkness giants taller than the woods walked towards Leader Xiao, Leader Xiao was simply stunned, there were ten of these giants, with strong physiques, holding sledgehammers, and their bodies were half human and half fish, which was the image of the golden weight.
As the giant got closer and closer, the earthquake became stronger and stronger, and the horses were already frightened and began to neigh and shake disobediently, and the leader of Xiao looked at this behemoth with fear, how could he be an enemy, so he turned his horse's head and shouted: "Brothers, withdraw quickly, this place is not suitable for a long time." ”
The leaders all spoke, and those subordinates naturally didn't want to stay longer, most of them threw away the torches, and followed Leader Xiao and ran away without a trace.
Seeing that those people were gone, Zhang Xiao came out of the grass on the side of the road and said to Zhang Xiao next to him: "Bewitching immortal art is not good, it's really not fun." ”
"Be content, it's good that you didn't cause any major incidents. Zhang Xiao said softly, his eyes have been looking around, this original rite suddenly ran to somewhere, the torch that fell on the ground gradually extinguished, and the surroundings fell into endless darkness again.
Not long after the surrounding darkness fell into darkness, a fire appeared from the place where Yuan Li was hiding, which was particularly conspicuous in the darkness, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao saw that the person holding the torch was Yuan Li, so they immediately climbed out of the grass and walked towards Yuan Li.
When they came to Yuan Li, before Zhang Xiao and Zhang Jiao could speak, Yuan Li preemptively said: "I'm really sorry for the two Taoist friends, I didn't expect this to happen tonight, so I had to betray the two of them to keep myself safe. ”
After Yuan Li finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhang Xiao and Zhang Yao, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao looked at each other, and from the conversation between Yuan Li and those people, he heard that he was betrayed, and his anger suddenly disappeared a lot.
"How did you know that we were nearby?" Zhang Xiao asked, feeling very strange, he and Zhang Xiao both hid their breath, how did he know as a mortal.
"The two Taoist friends don't know anything, and they know some cultivators, but they have only learned a little trick, and they can perceive the aura around them, and they are so presumptuous, I really can't help it. Yuan Li said very apologetically.
"Then what are the things you just said about restoration, national destruction, and solicitation? Isn't the Han Dynasty still there? Are you a descendant of the imperial family?" Zhang Xiao had no interest in punishing Yuan Li and what he had learned, so much so that he was very concerned about his conversations with those people.
"Well...... It's hard to say, I have nothing to do with the Han Dynasty, but I do belong to the royal family. "Yuan Li didn't know how to make it up at this time, in case these two immortal cultivators found out about their identity, it would be troublesome.
"Since it has nothing to do with the Han Dynasty, how can it be a royal family? Brother Yuan might as well say it directly, we don't have a good impression of the Han Dynasty either. Zhang Xiao believed that Yuan Li had nothing to do with the Han Dynasty, and from his conversations with those people, it seemed that he had a deep hatred for the Han Dynasty.
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Yuan Li was a little relieved, but he was still a little hesitant, and said slowly: "My brother called himself the emperor after getting the jade seal on the road, the country name Zhongshi, and took the Han Dynasty, but within a few years, he was besieged by the princes, and it was soon destroyed. ”
After listening to Yuan Li's words, Zhang Yao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Your family has even been called the emperor, and there will be such a miraculous thing, then we also have a common goal, as long as people who want to overthrow the Han Dynasty are all my friends." ”
"Then what are you?" Yuan Li saw Zhang Jiao say such words, and his original worries were swept away, it seems that they may also be the descendants of a certain princes' forces, and maybe they can join forces.
