Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

Li An frowned and thought, then turned his head to look at Yan Xiaoyi beside him, then drew out his sword and said slowly:

"I'd like to thank Brother Fan for your kindness. Let's retreat while we still have time."

Fan Xian followed suit and did not try to show off his strength. He picked up the roasted lamb leg and stepped back, his eyes fixed on the field. This was another battle between great masters.

But even if he retreated, the soldiers in Dongyi City would not retreat.

The more than 30,000 soldiers led by the Ye family's generals could not retreat.

Staring at Si Gu Jian, Li An was like staring at a prey, conducting psychological warfare to try to relax the opponent's defense: "Go all out, today, Senior Si Gu Jian, you must die!"

"I believe!"

Si Gu Jian never bothered to deny the facts.

If the soldiers behind him came to help, not only would they not be of any help, but they would only cause trouble and accelerate his defeat.

What they can do is to contain and deter.

It is a possibility that after he has done his best to inflict damage to Li Ang, he will use human wave tactics to surround and kill the opponent!

Yes, just maybe!

It doesn't necessarily mean you can kill the other person; it all depends on how much you can hurt the other person.

However, none of the Prince's 3,000 troops in the encirclement could escape. It was precisely because Si Gu Jian knew that Li Chengzong would be of great use to Northern Qi in the future that he dared to take this gamble!

"I believe you also know that even if I can kill you now, the benefits will not outweigh the losses. All my efforts in this trip to Qing Kingdom will evaporate by half. But since I am here, it would be unreasonable if I don't fight you."

Li An grinned, and Si Gu Jian also smiled happily.

Perhaps, the next time the two meet, it will be a time to determine who is better and whether to live or die.

Si Gu Jian knew that he was no match for Li Ang, so next time, perhaps Yelu Qi would be on his side.

Neither of them mentioned the temple tacitly.

This is a human matter, what does it have to do with the "gods"?

Just as the two were about to attack, the roar of a herald sounded from the periphery of the army: "General Wang! His Majesty has issued an order! There is a national mourning, and nothing can be done. Please turn back quickly!"

"General Wang! Please turn back quickly!"

The messenger repeated Li Chengze's order twice.

Of course, this is what Ye Zhong agreed to.

While General Wang was gritting his teeth and hesitating, Li An grinned and took the first step!

Damn it!

This general surnamed Wang originally wanted to wait until the two great masters Si Gu Jian of Dongyi City and Li An of Northern Qi had determined who was superior, and then reap the benefits according to the situation. Whether he could lead his troops directly when the two were weak, or use the large army to cover his retreat, he could advance and retreat in moderation and achieve some fame today. However, he did not expect that this imperial edict came at such an inopportune time!

He is not Ye Chong, he only obeys military orders.

"Pay attention to the formation! Retreat slowly!" General Wang issued an order.

Just as the Qing army was retreating, Si Gu Jian's brows were tightly furrowed.

This retreat will give me another 2 points chance of winning!

After the more than 30,000 soldiers of Qing Kingdom left, if only the soldiers of Dongyi City were left on the scene, their strength was not much more than that of Li Chengzong's men. The idea of ​​encircling and annihilating them would be just empty talk, and he would also be in danger of dying!

"Is Senior Si Gu Jian starting to worry?"

Li An had a murderous look on his face at this time, and said fiercely: "What a good plan, this second prince is also quite good! With the cooperation of the two of you, you also knew to drive Li Chengzong to the direction of Cangzhou Road, forcing me to change my route and come here. Your plan to delay me from returning to Northern Qi to send troops was successful. These few days are given to you!"

"It's just retribution. The deed was done, but this ally turned against us in an instant!"

General Wang, who was retreating, was stunned at first, and then shocked.

Your Majesty is far away in Kyoto, so it is naturally impossible for him to fully understand the situation here. If he retreats, perhaps the great master Si Gu Jian will be killed here in vain. By then, in the fight against Northern Qi... At this time, he did not know Ku He's situation. He only thought that after Si Gu Jian's death, perhaps their Qing Kingdom would have to face the attack of two great masters.

By then, how many soldiers in the army will pay a heavy price?

It was just an order, and there was an imperial decree, so it was impossible to change the order overnight. General Wang simply retreated at a faster speed, wanting to leave the battlefield and return to Kyoto as the last messenger to explain the matter and make preparations as soon as possible!

Li An and Si Gu Jian were already fighting each other. The two of them were attacking more and more fiercely and fighting faster and faster. Their bodies followed their swords and they kept moving and colliding with each other.

All the Qing soldiers who were unable to retreat in time died.

The soldiers in Dongyi City suffered even greater losses.

After using 90% of his strength to dodge Li An's tentative attack, Si Gu Jian gathered all his energy and shouted, "All soldiers in Dongyi City, listen up. Attack the camp quickly and evacuate when you find an opportunity."

As soon as the word "Li" came out, Li Ang's sword arrived!

"The Thirteen Swords of the Holy Spirit: Hellish Evil!"

There is no elegance in Ang Lee's figure. Every move he makes is full of roughness and boldness, like a strong wind blowing across the face, sweeping across the world.

It is:

Wielding a sword, he looks down on kings and princes, and roams freely with the raging wind.

Only passion can dispel anger, and only ambition can determine gratitude and hatred.

All the heroes in the world will be defeated by me, and all the heroes in the world will bow their heads.

A man today wears a Wu hook, and in the future he will rule the nine provinces with his carriages and horses!

Si Gu Jian turned the sword in his hand, took a step back to avoid the three-point artistic conception, exerted force on his feet and jumped up, displaying his full strength of "Dong Tian Piercing Di" and moving forward.

What a person who only cares about the future!

There is really no elegance at all!

Si Gu Jian also saw through Li An's thoughts. In today's battle, he lost the initiative first. After his provocative words, Li An became concerned about the people behind him and also lost his composure. It can be said that they were equally matched.

There's no telling who will win this fight.

How can a person who is cautious not be hindered by shackles?

"Stop! There will be a chance to fight to the last moment in the future!" Si Gu Jian murmured softly, saying these words, but the sword in his hand became three times faster!

The two men exchanged swords dozens of times per second, and only afterimages and countless sparks remained in the air.

On the treetop, Yan Xiaoyi's eyes changed as he drew his bow and shot an arrow, but he could not catch sight of Si Gu Jian's figure. He was worried that the arrow would backfire, so he hesitated for a long time.

Li An stuck to Si Gu Jian's body, fighting fast and using sword skills as he pleased, making Si Gu Jian's sword moves in vain and return the same way.

The two of them fought so hard!

Chapter 370 Just don’t blame me!

Suddenly, Si Gu Jian saw Li An's mouth curled up, his lips and teeth moved slightly, as if he was saying:

"flash!"

"The Holy Spirit Thirteen Swords of the Dawn!"

I feel something in my heart.

This move again!

"I drew my sword and looked around, feeling lost!"

Relying on his senses and years of experience in sword-fighting, Si Gu Jian somehow managed to block the sword. At the same time, the arrow in Yan Xiaoyi's hand had already been shot!

"Today I have finally learned the lesson of being called the Sword Saint!"

Li An took advantage of the situation and retreated to the camp!

No matter what, Li Chengze's life cannot be lost. This is extremely important in the subsequent war to conquer Qing Kingdom!

Yan Xiaoyi did not linger either. As Si Gu Jian retreated and watched, he used the elasticity of the tree trunk to jump out and head towards Li Ang's back.

The arrow was shot, but there was no sound or follow-up feedback. Did this arrow hit the target?

Yan Xiaoyi didn't know that this was the first time he was not sure where his arrow was going.

When the two rushed to the camp to provide support, Si Gu Jian realized that perhaps not many of the 5,000 people he brought from Dongyi City could return safely.

The left hand hidden behind his back slowly came out, and with constant trembling, he actually held a straight arrow in his hand!

Blood dripped slowly from his cuffs, and the arrow lost its support and fell to the ground. Si Gu Jian couldn't even control the strength of his left hand freely at this moment. To someone with the cultivation level of a grandmaster, this was so incredible!

He suffered internal injuries.

"The big wave behind the river!"

Si Gu Jian had a feeling that if anyone was most likely to be the next Grandmaster, it might be Yan Xiaoyi who had just left. Even Fan Xian's potential might not be as good as the other. Although Fan Xian was younger and now had the opportunity to start over and walk the path of Emperor Qing again, was he an archer with the cultivation level of a Grandmaster?

Then who in this world can stop him?

This is the will of heaven. As the master of Dongyi City, do I really want to stop it?

Perhaps, I am the last person of that old era.

"Senior, how's it going?"

Fan Xian jumped out from somewhere, looked at Si Gu Jian's bleeding left hand and his trembling right hand holding the sword, and asked in a low voice.

A swordsman was so shocked that even his sword-holding hand was shaking, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.

It was only because Li An's magical skill, which was like "teleportation", was too strange that Si Gu Jian was able to block it completely and only paid such a price. In Fan Xian's view, it was already possible to make the impossible possible.

"go!"

After Si Gu Jian finished speaking, he planned to grab Fan Xian and leave this place.

Fan Xian opened his mouth but did not resist.

He understood from Si Gu Jian's state that the soldiers of Dongyi City would have to rely on luck again.

Si Gu Jian had previously ordered them to attack the camp and then find a chance to evacuate. Who knows how many people can escape?

We can only bet that Li An is anxious to leave the country and return to Northern Qi.

After a few jumps, Si Gu Jian and Fan Xian disappeared from this place. A few days later, they caught up with the family team that Fan Xian had arranged to go ahead early in the morning and headed towards Danzhou Port.

And what about the Prince's camp? It was also gradually coming to an end.

The five thousand men coming out of Dongyi City were indeed elite soldiers. There were already hundreds of damaged soldiers outside the gate of Kyoto, and they managed to stop Li An for half a quarter of an hour.

When Li An rushed into the tent, the soldiers from Dongyi City were already fighting with Li Chengze.

From beginning to end, Ku He did not take any action.

I don't know how serious his injury is. Is he completely unable to fight, or does Ku He plan to use this last moment to return to Northern Qi to arrange his funeral?

When the battle ended, the remaining soldiers of Dongyi City fled into the nearby woods. Li An looked at the corpses of both the enemy and our own army scattered all over the ground without being moved. He just gave Li Chengzong a few instructions and brought Ku He to another tent.

"Mr. Li An, is there anything you want me to do?"

Ku He was seriously injured by Si Gu Jian, and before that, his physical strength had already been broken by Wu Zhu, and his time was running out.

The family knows their own affairs.

Even if he returned to Northern Qi like this, he would not survive for more than a year.

After his death, Northern Qi might block the news, giving other countries the illusion that Ku He was staying in Northern Qi. Barring any unexpected events, this would be the best outcome.

But Li An took himself aside without telling anyone, obviously he had other plans, so Ku He asked this question.

"Master Ku He, are you completely unable to use force?"

Ang Lee's expression was inexplicable, making people feel uneasy.

"Not really." Ku He's pale eyebrows swayed in the wind, and a slight smile appeared on his wrinkled face. He said calmly, "If I can be an ordinary person from now on, and be a good imperial teacher who has not fulfilled any responsibilities for so many years, I may be able to live for another year or two under the care of the royal secret method."

"If force is used."

"What if we use force?"

"one day!"

Ku He remained calm, as if the person he was talking about was not him, and responded: "If we use all our strength, even gods and immortals cannot save us after one day!"

"Mr. Li, you are also a great doctor in the world, and you also have the method of 'golden needle to save life'. You should be able to understand my current physical condition."

Li Ang should be excited and proud to be praised for his medical skills by Ku He, who is also a master.

But at this moment, he couldn't be happy no matter what.

Even the words that were about to be said were paused in his mouth.
