The sky was faint, and Li Zhen took Long Xiao and Ziyan down the mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This time, Long Xiao was very generous to let Li Zhen and Ziyan ride on the dragon's back, the white clouds beside him floated by, the wind was whistling, and Li Zhen experienced the thrill of flying!

"When will I be able to fly away like Long Gongzi. Li Zhen felt a kind of envy in his heart, but he secretly felt that he would eventually embark on this road, it was just a matter of chance.

After a while, the three of them had arrived outside Liangzhou City, and they had just left not long ago, why was this place even more deserted?

Li Zhen looked at the sparse population and the declining shops. Even the city gate was broken, and none of the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw it, what happened here?

Long Xiao found that there was an abnormality here, and there were traces of monks coming. Moreover, the cultivation of people who come is not under themselves. I didn't expect the turmoil in the world to be so serious.

"Uncle, what's going on here?" Li Zhen asked an old man sitting in the corner with a surprised expression.

"It's already a ghost town. The old man's face was full of despair.

"What's going on? When Long Xiao heard this, he felt that there was really something strange in this.

"Hey, you young people, let's get out of here quickly! This Liangzhou is a cursed city!" the old man obviously didn't want to say more, and closed his eyes against the wall, as if waiting for the remnants to fall along with the old city.

"Look, there's a notice on the city gate!" Ziyan saw the corner of a broken notice on the city gate fluttering in the wind, and dragged the two of them to see what was going on.

"Tell the people of Liangzhou: the anti-people Li Zhen and other bandits harassed Liangzhou, and the court fought against the court, and now Song Qing, the general soldier in the northwest of the Wu Dynasty, has been ordered to recover Liangzhou, and there are fornicators who fight against the court, and there is no forgiveness. After Li Zhen finished reading, he realized that he had become a lost dog, but where did Wan'er and the others go?

Li Zhen felt a chill in his heart, he didn't know that in the past few days since he left, his family had turned upside down, and the war was burning again.

"I can't imagine that this place has become like this in the days when you were taken captive. Long Xiao was very sad in his heart, if Li Zhen's family had anything to do with it, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Young Master Long, what should come will come eventually, you can't escape or hide, it's all fate!" Li Zhen thought to himself, maybe they had retreated to Lingshui, and it was unknown.

"Go to Lingshui!"

Li Zhen hurriedly led the two of them out of Liangzhou and headed towards Lingshui.

Song Qing's army had already surrounded Lingshui, and from a distance, the army stationed outside the city was 50,000 people, not to mention it. There are many flags and people.

"I can feel the presence of strange people in the army!" Long Xiao said to Li Zhen.

The three of them hid on a mountainside and secretly watched the situation of Lingshui.

"Strange people, more powerful than you, then how can we enter the city now?" Li Zhen asked Long Xiao eagerly.

"Don't worry, the monks in the other party's army, their cultivation is not low, they shouldn't be under me, let's wait for night to fall and then quietly go in. Long Xiao could feel the anger emanating from the other monk, so it was better to wait for darkness to be safe.

As the sun sets, bonfires are lit outside the city, surrounding Lingshui like stars and moons.

"You're still a dragon, take us into the city!"

"It's okay!" Long Xiao hesitated for a moment but agreed.

Long Xiao flew over the enemy, and suddenly a series of arrows with fiery heads on the ground attacked them.

They were still discovered! Long Xiao could clearly see that in the local formation, a white-clothed fluttering man was holding a fire flag and urging the rain of arrows with spiritual power.

Long Xiao hurriedly raised his head and flew upward, extremely fast, barely throwing off the arrow, Li Zhen and Ziyan almost fell off the dragon's back, Ziyan hugged Li Zhen's back tightly, at this time he couldn't care about so many courtesies, Li Zhen grabbed the dragon's horn tightly, and his face was blown by the wind. Unexpectedly, the other party could force Long Xiao to do such a dangerous action, who is it?

Fortunately, they dodged the attack of the arrow rain, and the three of them arrived in Lingshui City in shock.

"Miss Ziyan, are you okay?" Li Zhen hurriedly looked at Ziyan, and said that he would take someone out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and he would scare her to death along the way.

"I'm fine, what about you?" Ziyan thought of holding this man like that just now, her face was a little shy, but fortunately, she couldn't see it clearly in the middle of the night, and at this time she heard the voice of comfort, her heart was warm, and she hurriedly cared about him.

"It's okay!" Li Zhen looked frightened, he didn't expect that Long Xiao, who was flying away from the sky, would have met an opponent, and if it wasn't for him, he wouldn't be able to deal with it anyway.

"The other party's cultivation is really not shallow, I tried my best to hide my qi, but I was still discovered, I saw in the air that this person was a person from the Five Heavens Mountain. Long Xiao carefully recalled some details of the person he had just fought and reasoned.

"What is the origin of the Five Heavenly Mountains?" Li Zhen looked dazed, he had never heard of this place at all.

"The Five Heavenly Mountains are a sacred place for cultivators in Middle-earth, where dragons and tigers are hidden, and there are many masters, and it is a place that all monks yearn for. They are inextricably linked with the imperial court. ”

"No wonder he will appear in the barracks!" Li Zhen suddenly realized after hearing this.

"Master Li?" Song Tianba was walking towards the city wall with a group of people, and when he saw Li Zhen head-on, he didn't believe his eyes at first, and shouted a word.

"Song Tianba!" Li Zhen saw that his long-lost subordinates were safe and sound, not to mention how excited he was.

"Oh! It's really you! My subordinates ask Lord Li for peace!" Song Tianba has been worried about Li Zhen for many days, and now that the war is tight, his heart is even more empty, and now he sees that he is back intact, and his heart seems to have taken a reassuring pill.

"Hurry up, please get up!" Li Zhen hurriedly helped Song Tianba up.

"Master Li, where have you been these days? It's so hard for all of us to look for you! Liangzhou City ......" Song Tianba felt sorry for Li Zhen and the people of Liangzhou.

"It's a long story, don't talk about Liangzhou, I know everything. Li Zhen interrupted Song Tianba's words, he knew that the brothers had done their best.

"I'll go see Li Weibin first, you are busy first, and the government will discuss it later!" Li Zhen patted Song Tianba and entered the mansion with Long Xiao and Ziyan.

People in the government are actively preparing for war, and Li Weibin has been in charge of all affairs here in the days when Li Zhen is away.

When the guards saw that Li Zhen was back, they hurriedly informed everyone.

Everyone put down what they were doing and greeted Li Zhen in the courtyard, the leader who led everyone through many battles.

At the current juncture when Liangzhou was lost and the Lingshui soldiers were approaching the city, Li Zhen's return raised everyone's morale a lot.

"Master Li!" the generals knelt down, and Ziyan couldn't help but admire Li Zhen a little more.

"Hurry up, everybody. Li Zhen was happy to see that his henchmen, Li Weibin and Ge Dayou, were all fine, at least their strength had been preserved.

"Master Li, where have you been these days?" asked Li Weibin eagerly.

"It's a long story, let's study the battle situation first!" Li Zhen led the generals into the house to discuss the matter. Long Xiao saw that this kid was giggling on weekdays, and his unusually calm and composure in the face of military affairs made him look a little higher.

"My lord, Liangzhou City has not been defended, and your family has been transferred to Lamutu, and Lingshui is now besieged, I estimate that the enemy will attack tomorrow. Li Weibin briefly introduced what happened in the past few days.

"No! I don't think they will act rashly tomorrow!" Li Zhen smiled.

"Why did you say this?" Li Weibin looked puzzled.

"Let me introduce you to the boy next to me. Li Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed at Long Xiao.

Everyone found out early in the morning that Li Zhen came back with a man and a woman, the man was delicate and aura, and the woman was charming and moving, and at first glance, they were not ordinary people.

"This son is Long Xiao, a monk I lost my relationship with this time. ”

"Monk?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't understand. ”

Everyone, you don't know what Long Xiao is doing.

"To put it bluntly, in fact, he is a strange person with magic power who can go to heaven and earth. Li Zhen felt that he couldn't explain it to them for a while, so he was about to talk about it.

"Master Li, are you okay?" Li Weibin became more and more confused the more he listened, how could people fly into the sky!

He thought that Li Zhen had brought back two charlatans this time!

"I guess I don't believe it to you, there is also such a person in the enemy camp this time, we fought him in the air just now, and they will definitely not dare to attack before discovering Long Xiao's true strength. Li Zhen said with a serious face, everyone didn't sound like it was fake, but such a mysterious thing was still a little skeptical.

"You, Lord Li, are right, I came down the mountain with him this time to eradicate the evil in the world. After Long Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and appeared in the form of a dragon, wanting to dispel everyone's doubts.

Everyone was listening to Long Xiao talking, and suddenly the beautiful little student in front of him turned into a hideous-looking dragon, and everyone was shocked and retreated.

"What's the matter, now you should believe it!" Li Zhen looked at the frightened and gray-faced generals and grinned.

"This son has a unique skill, we Lingshui has been saved!" Ge Dayou saw that Li Zhen was not afraid at all, and his own courage also increased, thinking that Long Xiao came to help Lingshui, the 50,000 enemy troops outside the city were not a problem at all.

"You're wrong! As I said earlier, there is also a figure like Long Gongzi in the enemy camp, and the outcome of the war is still unknown. Li Zhen didn't dare to be careless, let alone let the army relax in the slightest.

"When defending Liangzhou, I always felt that the opponent's arrows were particularly powerful, and the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties, and Liangzhou was conquered in less than two hours. Could it be that the person is doing the trick?" Li Weibin recalled the scene when he was guarding Liangzhou.

"This general's analysis is very right, the enemy monk is from the Five Heavens Mountain Gate, and he is good at arrows and fire rain, so it's normal for you to not be able to hold it. Long Xiao was basically convinced of the opponent's situation according to Li Weibin's introduction and the situation of his own fight with him.

"Li Weibin, who is the commander of the enemy army this time?" asked Li Zhen.

"Lord Hui, this time it's the little wolf in the northwest, Song Yu personally led the troops. ”

"Song Yu, can that boy stand the cruelty of this battlefield!" Li Zhen had heard of this person, he was a gentleman, and he was insignificant.

"It's not that he has a lot of soldiers, and he is rich and rude!" Li Weibin said disdainfully.

"This time, we have to let that boy go through the experience!" Li Zhen smiled slightly, and he already had an idea in his heart.
