Chapter 176: The enemy is gone, and the bow is hidden

The death of Xiang Liu dealt an immeasurable blow to the morale of Yiran's side, although in the later battles, Li Jing was unable to go into battle due to serious injuries, but he sat in the rear command, relying on the ability of Yuan Ye, Xin Huan, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and Nezha, he still killed the enemy army and retreated.

After Yi Ran repeatedly lost his troops, he had no choice but to lead the remnants of his troops back to Jieshi Pass.

Li Jing waved his army eastward, and the army came to the Jieshi Pass.

Although Yi Ran has reorganized his men and horses to strictly defend the city, it is difficult to return to the general situation after all, and the army's spirit has been dispersed. It is said that he held on for three days, but he was cut off by Xin Huan and Nezha, and he flew up to the city with the hot wheel, and joined forces to kill the city guards, open the city gate, and put down the drawbridge.

Yuan Ye, Jin Zha, and Mu Zha led a large army into the city, charging and killing while shouting that those who surrender should not die. The already demoralized rebels saw that the city that had been relied on as the last barrier had also been breached, and their courage was completely withered, except for a few who were still stubbornly loyal to Yi Ran, who still resisted stubbornly and were mercilessly slaughtered, most of the rest abandoned their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

When they interrogated the captives, they learned that he had led a small group of henchmen to open the east gate and escape.

Li Jing had already made up his mind not to give Yi Ran a chance to breathe, and immediately ordered that only the first brigade of partial divisions should be left to guard the prisoners and take over the city, and the army continued to advance eastward, vowing to sweep away the rebels.

Yi Ran's ten troops have lost seven or eight, although there are still two city passes of Wanghai and Guanlan, but they have no strength to defend it. Wherever Li Jing's army went, two cities were captured, and the remnants of the rebels were either killed or surrendered, but they still failed to capture Yi Ran, and no one knew where he went. But Li speculates that he has probably fled overseas again.

As Li Jing expected, Yi Ran was already in a big ship in the East China Sea at this moment. It is riding the wind and waves to the east. He is indeed a character, and he can afford to put it down. No mud and water. As early as when Xiangliu died in Baizhang Pass, he confirmed that the defeat was decided, and quietly sent the veteran Xu Wei to the beach to prepare for the big ship, and let him use a "golden cicada shell" strategy, with the help of a substitute dead soldier to cover people's eyes and ears, and escape long before the city was broken.

On the big ship, Xu Wei looked back at the land that was about to disappear from sight, raised his fist and slammed the side of the boat, and said unwillingly: "Lord Wang." The great cause of our nation's rejuvenation was ruined by Li Jing, which is truly hateful!"

Yi Ran looked calm, shook his head and said: "This defeat is certainly because of encountering such a terrible enemy as Li Jing, but more importantly, this king is in a hurry, thinking that he can turn things around with a cultivator who is a god. Thinking about it now, it was too much wishful thinking. ”

Xu Wei asked: "Lord Wang, when will I wait to make a comeback when I go back to the island this time?" ”

Yi Ran smiled: "Comeback." This king no longer has extravagant hopes in this life. This defeat made this king understand a truth, everything is fast, it is not enough, only thick accumulation, can be thin. After turning the island. This king will devote himself to recuperation, cultivate power, and lay a solid foundation for future generations to make a comeback!"

Xu Wei was convinced. He arched his hand and said: "The prince is far-sighted, although the last general is old. You should also follow Jiwei and be willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

"Good ambition. It's just a pity that you don't have a chance to make it happen!"

This voice came into the ears of Yi Ran and Xu Wei, and the two of them changed color at the same time, and turned their heads to look, but saw that there was already one more person on the bow of the boat.

"Li Jing!" Yi Ran drank out the name of the person from between his teeth, and his heart had sunk to the bottom, "Aren't you seriously injured and unable to move?

Li Jing smiled leisurely, ignoring the henchmen and guards on the ship who were brought around him, pulled out their swords and slowly surrounded him: "The injury of that day is true. However, my cultivation was shallow back then, and after being seriously injured by Ling Zun with a divine arrow, I received three elixirs personally refined by my uncle, Shennong Holy Emperor. I took one at the time, and two more that I have always treasured with me have been needed, and now they really come in handy. ”

Yi Ran said: "Since your injuries have healed, why do you have to pretend? At that time, my defeat was decided, and I didn't need you to think about it anymore, did it ......?"

"Clever, King Pingling deserves to be a masterpiece in the world!" Li Jing applauded, and the Tiger Spirit Demon Knife, which was as black as the night, appeared in his palm, and the expression on his face turned cold, "However, these have nothing to do with you." ”

Yi Ran cut off the sun-shooting bow from his shoulder, but the divine rocket had been taken away by Li Jing before, so he could only put a refined iron arrow on the string, and shouted: "Everyone, there is no way for us to retreat today, but to fight to the death and survive, kill!"

As the word "kill" came out, the iron arrow shot at Li Jing off the string, and everyone on the boat was Yi Ran's absolute henchmen, seeing that he was the first to act, they all put aside their fear of Li Jing, and rushed forward with their swords desperately.

Li Jing swung his knife to fly the iron arrow, and slammed into the crowd with strange steps, the dark knife light was like the dripping ink splashed wantonly by a calligraphy and painting master, and the mysterious knife technique was indescribably beautiful and cruel, easily harvesting human lives......

After a long time, Li Jing slowly put away his knife and looked around, there was no one on the entire ship except himself, not even a single corpse was left, everyone was killed by the Tiger Demon Knife and devoured a body of spirit, and then turned into ashes and dissipated with the sea breeze. He leaned over and picked up the unpretentious Sun Shooting Divine Bow, shook his head and sighed softly, and put it in his pocket and placed it with the Divine Rocket.

The counterinsurgency was particularly swift, and it took only half a year before and after. Zhu Deng's father and son eliminated the great trouble of their henchmen, and they were grateful to Li Jing. After Li Jing led his troops back to Lingling City, Zhu Deng personally went to meet him 30 miles outside the city, thanked him after meeting, and courteously invited Li Jing to enter the city for a celebration banquet.

Seeing that the other party was sincere, Li Jing couldn't refute his face, so he stationed his 3,000 men and horses outside the city, only brought a few juniors and more than ten personal soldiers, and went to the city under the guidance of Zhu Deng.

Everyone came to Zhu Deng's Donglinghou Mansion, Zhu Deng climbed a few steps first, raised his hand towards the door of the mansion, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Li Xian, please come in!"

Li Jing looked up at the magnificent Hou Mansion, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "Brother Zhu, it is easy for you to enter the Hou Mansion, but the junior brother is worried that there will be no entry or exit!"

Zhu Deng's expression changed, and he forced a smile: "Brother Xian, don't be joking, the banquet has been prepared, let's go in!"

Li Jing laughed and said: "The younger brother once heard a sentence - the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden." Brother Zhu, with your temperament, it's not strange for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but it's just strange where you got the confidence to clean up your little brother!"

Seeing that the other party really saw through his intentions, Zhu Deng no longer made a false mistake, ran a few steps away from Li Jing, and shouted: "Where is my son?"

A large number of ambushes poured out at the same time in several street corners a little farther away, led by the five sons of the Zhu family to rush to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and surrounded Li Jing and the dozen people in three layers inside and outside.

Li Jing didn't squint, only looked at Zhu Deng and said with a smile: "Is that all?" Brother Zhu blamed the younger brother for confessing, although the younger brother is injured and inconvenient to do it, but with my children and nephews, you are afraid that you will not be able to keep the younger brother!"

Before Zhu Deng could speak, one of the people in the Hou Mansion laughed loudly: "What if you add the two of us?" (to be continued......
