Chapter 9: The Prudent Divine General
(PS: Thank you for the amorous words, the madness of the lonely evil, the chasing Apollo, the glass, the dragon for the reward and the monthly pass)
"Are you going?" Chu Xifeng squinted and glanced at Su Chang'an, who was walking over.
"Yes. Su Changan nodded, and stood side by side with him in front of the gate of Tianlan Courtyard.
In Chang'an in September, the dew was very heavy, shrouding the old and young in the dim morning light, their backs could not be seen, but the knife on their backs, revealing a section of the blade, was so bright.
It was a gust of autumn wind that blew suddenly, rolling up the fallen leaves that no one had cleaned in the courtyard.
Da-da-da-da!
Suddenly, there was a rush of horses' hooves in the distance.
"Phew!"
A moment later, a man's rough shout rang out. A stout red horse had its hooves raised high, and it was about to turn on its back. The man sitting on it let out a soft snort, his body seemed to be fixed in the saddle, and a yellow aura burst from the part below his navel, and the momentum of the horse's backwards was stopped. Its hooves slammed into the ground, as if it was carrying a thousand things on its back, and the official road paved with good bluestone slabs in front of Tianlan Courtyard was smashed out of two holes.
"Are you Chu Xifeng?" asked the man on the horse, and at this time, the dense soldiers in pitch-black armor behind him stepped on neat steps and came slowly.
Su Changan frowned, even if he was dozens of meters away, he could still ask about the faint smell of blood on those soldiers.
"Yes. Chu Xifeng glanced up at the man on the horse and said.
Su Changan also looked up at this man at this time, about forty years old, dressed in brass-colored armor, holding a large knife as tall as a person, with two tiger head shoulder pads on his shoulders, and a scarlet cloak fluttering in the autumn wind behind his back. The thick beard on his face almost completely wrapped his lips, and his eyeballs were a little protruding, and he was staring at Su Changan and the others at the moment. I think it must be Du Wei, the god general who went to Lanling Town in the name of the Holy Emperor this time.
"He's going too?" Du Wei glanced at Su Chang'an beside Chu Xifeng, and with his realm, he naturally saw at a glance that Su Chang'an was just a martial artist who could gather the spirit realm. He couldn't help frowning, feeling a little strange in his heart, such a guy actually beat his precious son to the point that he didn't even have the courage to make a move.
"Yes, we're together. Chu Xifeng glanced at Su Changan and nodded at Du Wei. He said it so plainly, so plain that it was impossible to question it.
Chu Xifeng's attitude made Du Wei angry for a while, he snorted coldly, and said, "You don't have horses?"
"Don't they don't have either?" At this time, Su Changan took over the conversation and pointed to the rows of soldiers behind the man and said.
Du Wei was stunned for a moment, his face became gloomy, and he said, "Okay, I hope that Su Gongzi, the star king of the Star Society, will not get lost." After saying this, he slapped the horse's ass with the back of the big knife in his hand, and the horse let out a long neigh, and the horse's hooves kicked the ground, and it only took a few breaths to leap out of the distance of nearly 100 meters.
And the soldiers behind him seemed to have received some kind of order, and at the moment when the horse's hooves kicked the ground, the spiritual light on their bodies flickered, and they actually stepped forward with Du Yu's figure a hundred meters away.
At this time, Chu Xifeng turned his head to look at Su Changan and asked, "Can you keep up?"
When Su Changan heard this, he tilted his head and thought about it very seriously, before he nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Hearing Su Changan's affirmative reply, Chu Xifeng put his mind at ease, and his figure turned into a purple light with a single movement, and flew towards the distance with the sound of breaking through the sky.
Su Changan couldn't help but be a little amazed when he saw Chu Xifeng's true strength for the first time.
But he also made a movement under his feet at this time, only to see him kick the ground with his heels, and his body turned into a streamer, chasing in the direction where Chu Xifeng disappeared with an afterimage.
But his speed is not as good as Chu Xifeng's long-established Tianjiao demon after all. It was a little difficult to keep up with the soldiers. It is also strange that these soldiers do not look in a hurry when they walk, but their speed is extremely fast, even if Su Changan uses all his strength, the distance between the two is still getting farther and farther.
"That's not enough. He muttered to himself.
As soon as the thought in his heart moved, the star spirit in his body suddenly began to operate, and one after another true fires were extracted, forming a spiritual flame under his feet.
When the fire starts, the wind rises.
His body suddenly lightened, and a smile appeared on his face, and he kicked the ground on his toes again, and the speed was even faster than before.
Although he was not able to catch up with Chu Xifeng, he could maintain the same speed as those soldiers and would not worry about being thrown off again.
Lanling Town is located in a mountain col, which is not far from Chang'an, but it is only five hundred miles away. Although the town is small, because of its proximity to Chang'an, some passing merchants or passing dart teams will rest here, so the town is quite wealthy. But who would have thought that such a town at the feet of the Son of Heaven would be slaughtered by gangsters who came out of nowhere a few days ago.
Thousands of people in the town were so violently corpsed in the town, and after a few days, the thick smell of blood still lingered for a long time. Even from miles away, Du Wei could smell it.
He had already reached the mountain col next to Lanling Town, and beyond that was Lanling Town. Because it was late autumn, the green meadows on the col were now withered and yellowed. Trembling in the autumn wind that blows from time to time, it is like a rotten corpse without flesh and blood, and it will break in two at the slightest effort.
Du Wei slapped the horse with a knife again, and then looked back, seeing that there was nothing but the withered yellow mountain pass, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile.
At this time, it was just dawn, and the fog of late autumn had not yet dissipated, and the scenery ahead was still in a fog, but the outline of Lanling Town had gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
He was about to urge the horses that were already a little exhausted under his crotch again, but he suddenly noticed a figure standing not far away. The figure had his back to him, and seemed to be looking in the direction of Blue Spirit Town. But because of the fog, he couldn't really see the appearance of that figure.
Du Wei instinctively pulled the reins of the horse and slowed down his progress.
On a late autumn morning, a man looked at a lonely city that had been slaughtered all over the town in the distance.
Years of experience on the battlefield have taught him that the scene in front of him is not normal.
He clenched the broadsword in his hand that had been fighting with him for many years, and the war horse under him seemed to understand his meaning, stepping on the soil that was already full of dead grass step by step, and gently and slowly approaching the figure.
About a quarter of an hour had passed, and he was less than ten meters away from the figure, which was still facing away from him.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing, such a distance, with his cultivation as a Great Wei God General, if he wants to sneak attack, it will definitely be an excellent opportunity.
But Du Wei couldn't be happy, he had been on the battlefield for many years, he was in danger repeatedly, and many people who were several times stronger than him died, but he survived for only one reason - he was cautious enough.
At this moment, he had a lot of things in his mind, such as if this figure was related to this massacre, then the disappearance of the thief Cao and the little marquis of the ancient family must also be related to him.
Although the thief Cao Guo Sanyun is a Confucian student, his cultivation has reached the spiritual realm of the earth, and he has brought the little marquis of the ancient family and many martial artists who have cultivated to be in Fanchen or even above. If it really starts a fight, as long as these martial artists can buy ten breaths of time for Guo Sanyun, with the cultivation of this old Confucian student, they will definitely be able to burst out with the destructive power of the Heavenly Hearing Realm.
Therefore, the true strength of the man in front of him must be above the heavens, and a person with such strength cannot be unaware when someone is within ten meters of him.
But this figure never had the intention of turning his head, if it wasn't for him Du Wei overestimating his strength, then the only explanation was that the person in front of him, he had enough confidence - even in such a short distance, Du Wei suddenly made a difficulty, he could still take it.
This speculation caused a cold sweat to appear on Du Wei's forehead, and he moved forward cautiously for a distance, and soon the distance between him and the figure was less than five meters. This time, he vaguely saw that the figure seemed to have a knife on its back, and it looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart, he knew that the master made a move, and the victory or defeat was often in an instant, so he forcibly emptied the superfluous thoughts in his head and adjusted his state to the best.
At this time, he was only less than two meters away from the figure, the knife in his hand was already raised high, and the war horse under his crotch was also panting.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The picture seems to be frozen in this moment.
At this time, an autumn wind struck, and the withered weeds under their feet swayed in the wind, and Du Wei's heart was crossed, knowing that this was the perfect time.
He snorted, and the big knife in his hand was about to be cut down.
"Du Shen will be so slow, let Chu wait for a while. At this moment, the figure suddenly turned its head, and a cold voice came into his ears.
