The ground suddenly shook and the sound of horse hooves came from far away, like an overwhelming tidal wave.
"This sound... Oops, it's the cavalry!"
There were many Japanese soldiers in Fengming Town who were dressed as civilians. So when they heard the seemingly chaotic sound of horse hooves that were actually to the beat of some drums, their faces changed immediately.
Although the Song Dynasty was good at using infantry to deal with cavalry (official history), that was based on the premise that the numbers were sufficient and the troops were deployed in advance.
Given the current situation, there is simply not enough time.
"The border defenses are really terrible! Even a full-scale cavalry unit can be let in..."
On the side of the street, a blind man who was telling people's fortunes with his eyes rolled up suddenly blinked and returned to normal. He listened to the increasingly loud sound of horse hooves and sighed helplessly.
Quack quack! ! !
He slowly stood up, his hunched back gradually stopped flexing, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard from his body. When he stopped, he was already a scholar in a blue robe, over eighty years old.
It’s Huang Shang!
His figure was as leisurely as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, but with every step he took, his figure would appear several feet away, as scary as a ghost, and disappear in the blink of an eye.
And after he left.
Six figures walked out from the darkness, led by Yan Longyuan.
"Princess, how about my sincerity?" Although Yan Longyuan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, there was a hint of complacency in his words.
Li Qinglu's face was gloomy, but he didn't dare to look in the direction where Huang Shang left.
"It seems that it is true as you said, the Emperor of Southern Song does not want to establish diplomatic relations with Western Xia..." The voice was crisp, but with a decisiveness and straightforwardness that ordinary women did not have.
Li Qinglu exhaled, her eyes gradually firmed, "Then let's do as you said, sir. We will use the lives of those people in Jinxiu Villa to make Nan Murong famous. We, Xixia, will secretly support you in restoring your country and share the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Chapter 38: Mantis Catches Cicada
"Ha~ Master Lin's Jade Bee Honey is still so delicious. It's rude not to return the favor. Master Lin, please try my wine."
"I'm not hungry, let my sister do it."
Taking advantage of the night, Su Yun saw Lin Moxue's blushing cheeks and pried open his sister's breathing mouth.
Lin Moxue noticed Su Yun's gaze and felt shy, so she pushed Xiaolongnu forward.
"Long'er, sit over there and let him taste your honey."
"Oh."
Xiao Longnu was very well-behaved and listened to her master attentively, but she was still a little curious. Was the 'Jade Bee Jelly' here delicious?
"what about the taste?"
"It tastes great!"
……
Ballroom.
The heroes of the world were all drinking and chatting happily, and naturally there were disputes among them, and the fights led to a mess.
He drank jar after jar of wine.
The dishes came one after another.
The number of people in the banquet hall finally visibly decreased.
"Amitabha, money is ultimately what moves people's hearts," Xuan Ci watched those who were eager to be reincarnated leave without any intention of standing up to advise them.
Duan Yu couldn't bear it and wanted to stand up to speak, but was held down by Qiao Feng.
"Big brother?"
"Second brother, listen to my advice and go back to Dali. The Jianghu is not a place for a kind-hearted person like you to make your way around."
Qiao Feng shook his head.
The people Su Yun invited to this heroes' meeting were of mixed quality, and there were many people who had a high opinion of themselves and thought they were talented but not appreciated.
The only four famous and legitimate sects are Quanzhen, Ancient Tomb, Shaolin, and Yijian Villa.
As a result, the Quanzhen Sect coveted the rare treasures and had evil intentions, the Shaolin Temple suppressed the Jinxiu Villa with ill intentions, and the Yijian Villa did not fight against Su Yun, but ended up having its young master deposed by Duan Yu!
Only one Tomb Raider Sect escaped unscathed...
How can it be summed up by just a "miserable ending"?
Now these people still dare to go to Jinxiu Villa to search for treasures. They are already blinded by greed and have forgotten that there is a celestial being in this villa!
"Brother, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." Duan Yu really studied Buddhism to the core, and was pedantic to the core. "They are going to die..."
Most of those who thought they were very skilled and left quietly were in the innate realm, and not even a grandmaster.
I wouldn’t say there aren’t some fools among those who have mastered martial arts, but they all know the principle that “the first rafters to stick out will rot first”.
After a while, miserable wails were heard from outside the banquet hall. The messy, panic-stricken, shrill and tragic wails were far more sad than the cuckoo's.
"Amitabha." Xuan Ci put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. His kind expression did not change at all. "If you have evil thoughts in your mind, it is an evil cause, and evil consequences will arise."
Qiao Feng sneered. His resentment towards Shaolin Temple was almost overwhelming. If he had not remembered the kindness of his master Master Xuanku and his adoptive parents Qiao Sanhuai and his wife in the past, and if he had not taken into consideration the face of his second brother Duan Yu, he would have really wanted to chop this old monk who was talking about Buddhist philosophy to pieces with a single blow!
Duan Yu just felt uncomfortable in his heart. This was different from what was said in the Buddhist scriptures. How could one become a Buddha instantly by putting down the butcher knife?
It's clearly going straight to the West!
Duan Yu was feeling depressed and suffocated, when suddenly he smelled a peculiar fragrance, light and faint, mixed with the smell of wine and food. If it weren't for his keen sense of smell, he would have overlooked it.
"What's that smell? It's a light fragrance, quite nice..."
Duan Yu took two deep puffs.
At this moment, he heard the panicked shouts of the heroes below:
"I can't use my Qi anymore! Ouch! My legs are weak too!"
The man who was shouting was in the Xiantian realm, and everyone thought he was just drunk and acting crazy. For a while, everyone burst into laughter and made a lot of noise.
But soon someone discovered something was wrong, because even the master's hands and feet became weak and he could not mobilize the true energy in his body!
Qiao Feng slammed the table and stood up. Suddenly his face darkened. He staggered and fell onto the chair.
In order to stabilize Yi Jifeng's injuries, Xuan Ci had used up nearly ten years of accumulated Qi from the Yi Jin Jing. He was already forcing himself to stay strong, and when he was hit by the fragrance, his limbs became weak and he felt waves of fatigue rising to his mind.
"Someone is using poison! Everyone, cover your noses..." Duan Yu's Beiming Qi would only work at the critical moment, just like at this moment, helping him resist the sad breeze.
But the Huagong Powder in the food still took effect, making him lose the immunity to all poisons of Bei Ming Zhen Qi and be poisoned by the sad and refreshing breeze.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect that the first and second place on the Northern Song Dynasty Hidden Dragon Ranking, as well as the Shaolin abbot Master Xuanci, are all here. It’s worth Qinglu’s use of five times the Sad and Cool Breeze.”
Li Qinglu walked into the banquet hall gracefully with her lotus steps, but the turbid smell of alcohol made her frown. She put away her smile, bowed in a standard way and said:
"I am a humble girl, but I am honored to be the Princess of Xixia State, and have been granted the title of 'Yinchuan' by His Majesty."
"So it's the Princess of Western Xia. I, Xuan Ci, am honored to be here." Xuan Ci glanced at the familiar figure beside Li Qinglu, his pupils dilated slightly, and he forced himself to return the greeting.
Qiao Feng leaned back in his chair. Seeing that only a few people showed up, he breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be angry: "You are the princess of Xixia, but you poisoned us. Aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed and hunted down by the heroes of the martial arts world?"
"Master Qiao, you are joking. You were poisoned in Jinxiu Villa. What does it have to do with me, Li Qinglu? Every grievance has its perpetrator, and we should go to the owner of this villa."
Li Qinglu smiled calmly, the murderous aura in her heart disappeared, and instead she began to appreciate talent.
“As the saying goes, ‘A good bird chooses the right tree to roost in’, although the three of you are martial arts heroes of the Southern Song Dynasty, you should be well aware of the principle of judging the situation.
Not to mention the declining situation of the Southern Song Dynasty, even if the three of you are now in the hands of Qinglu, why be stubborn? Why not join my Xixia Yipintang, where wealth and glory are at your fingertips! "
"A real man should walk upright and sit upright. How can he be so servile and stoop to his knees over a trivial matter of life and death?" Qiao Feng shouted without hesitation, "Only wolves and tigers like you who don't know etiquette and human nature would say such shameless words!"
Qiao Feng's stubbornness immediately angered the four evil men behind Li Qinglu.
The ferocious Yue Lao San angrily raised his big pair of scissors and shouted, "You won't surrender? Then I'll cut off your head and eat it with wine!"
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Yue Lao San's face was ferocious. He jumped to Qiao Feng's side in two or three steps, picked up a pair of scissors and kept threatening: "Will you surrender? Will you surrender?"
Seeing that only Yue Lao San came, Qiao Feng sighed softly.
"The third brother is back!" Duan Yanqing, the leader of the four evil men and a heinous criminal, suddenly opened his eyes wide and spoke rapidly, like the croaking of a frog.
But it's too late!
hold head high! ! !
A ball of golden light bloomed in Qiao Feng's palm, and a lifelike golden dragon swam out and hit Yue Lao San's chest with lightning speed, knocking him away immediately.
Duan Yanqing narrowed his eyes, suddenly raised his crutches and attacked, while mumbling loudly: "Attack together!"
Chapter 39: Life and Death
Just when the party hall was in full commotion.
The "fierce battle" in the room also came to an end.
Lin Moxue looked at Su Yun who was getting dressed with a complicated expression, with a hint of confusion between her brows:
"You're not hurt?"
"Of course not." Su Yun did not hide it, but he did not decide to tell everyone everything he was thinking. He just said perfunctorily, "Jinxiu Villa has risen too fast. If you want to stay in the martial arts world, you can either use ruthless means to suppress others with absolute force, or retreat to advance, show your weakness to the enemy, and then fight a good battle to establish your prestige."
Su Yun sighed lightly: "It's a pity that there is someone in Shaolin Temple who we can't afford to offend. We can only fight back and tell others that Jinxiu Villa is not easy to bully."
Lin Moxue nodded, and seeing him walking out, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Then, then can I... the Ancient Tomb Sect be an external aid to Jinxiu Villa? I mean, can the two families support each other and advance and retreat together?"
"The Tomb Sect is not an option," Su Yun answered decisively, but before leaving, he added, "But if it's just you, Sister Lin, I'd be happy to do it."
When Lin Moxue heard the first half of the sentence, her face looked a little gloomy, with a forced smile. But when she heard what Su Yun said before he left, her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
"Master, he's gone, what are you still looking at?" Xiaolongnu's voice sounded with a little grievance, she pouted her little mouth, her big eyes full of unhappiness.
Lin Moxue naturally wouldn't say that she was distracted, but instead hugged her into the quilt, gently stroked her soft long hair, and coaxed: "Is Long'er throwing a tantrum?"
"No... He is biased. He only gave the drink to Master and not to me!"
"...definitely next time."
Li Moxue's eyes were a little evasive, but she did not forget to instruct:
"This is a little secret between us. Don't tell anyone. Do you understand?"
"kindness."
……
Su Yun left the courtyard.
Originally, he planned to take advantage of the fact that people in the party hall were poisoned by the power-destroying powder to kill some important people, and then put the blame on the Xixia people.
After turning Qiao Feng into a war slave, he will be cleared of his name on the grounds that he saved the remaining people, so that the War Dragon Qiao Feng can stay safely in Jinxiu Villa.
But what I didn't expect was...
"The Xixia people actually arrived so early. We are just in time!"
boom! boom! boom!
A battle roar like a landslide suddenly broke out in the northwest corner of the villa, and the aftermath swept across the entire villa in an instant.
"A battle between heaven and man? There is actually a second heaven and man in Xixia? Or is Li Qiushui personally escorting Princess Yinchuan?"
Su Yun would naturally not be affected by the aftermath, but in order to avoid being discovered by the celestial being fighting with Guo Jing, he still hid quietly and approached stealthily.
The whole body of Zhan Nu was emitting green light. The brilliant golden dragon that was originally swung out by the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms had now turned into a pale green, evil dragon with a thick corrosive poisonous mist.
Judging from the special effects, it is obvious that the war slave at this time is not a decent person.
But as for how dangerous it is, just look at the first-level celestial being on the opposite side who is restrained.
The war slaves are ruthless and ungrateful. Apart from their own fighting consciousness, they have no personal awareness. Therefore, they don't care about the facilities and people in Jinxiu Villa at all, let alone their own lives. Their moves are vicious and they are willing to exchange injuries for their lives.
However, Yan Longyuan was afraid of death, and he was also using the Shaolin Temple's close combat skills such as the Prajna Palm, the Formless Robbery Finger, and the Flower Picking Finger, so he was restrained in his fight.
But Zhan Nu's strength is, after all, that of a newly promoted celestial being, and he is unable to achieve the point where his true Qi circulates with the heaven and earth and is inexhaustible.
When the true energy in the body is used up, there will always be a moment of pause before making a move.
And this pause is the biggest flaw!
