Volume 1: A Long Night Returns 72, Immortals will inevitably stumble
Li Jiran said: "The man surnamed Wu is a Qi practitioner, and Qi Zhongxuan himself is a master of martial arts. There is no one in the army who can take on the important task of escorting him. If they escape, I will probably have to retire and return home."
Xie Qingyun said: "Leave this matter to me."
"No!" Xie Yuandi objected fiercely.
Xie Qingyun looked at him doubtfully, "Why not? Little brother, are you afraid that I will steal your limelight when I return to Beijing?"
"You don't know what is good or bad." Xie Yuandi said coldly, "Do you know what the situation is now?"
"What's the situation?" Xie Qingyun still knows nothing about the outside world.
Li Jiran suddenly thought of something, coughed twice and said: "I forgot...this matter is indeed inappropriate. Qingyun, you should avoid the limelight."
"What are you talking about?" Xie Qingyun looked at the two of them doubtfully.
Li Jiran said: "Half a month ago, the Guo Kingdom suddenly sent troops to Yizhou and asked the Holy Father to hand over a man named Xie Qingyun. The whole court was shocked by this, and later we found out that this Xie Qingyun is you. Since you are a Qi Refiner,
We can’t just wait and see, Qi Yuan came up with a plan to ask Xie to take Xie Baoshu’s ashes back to Xijing and lead you to Xijing to arrest you again.”
Xie Qingyun's face slowly turned cold, and he slowly looked at Xie Yuandi.
Xie Yuandi said calmly: "The Grand Duke said that even those who are kicked out are still members of the Xie family. He should be punished by him himself without bothering others."
Xie Qingyun's expression softened somewhat.
This is openly confronting the sect behind the Guo Kingdom... Li Jiran secretly wiped his hands with cold sweat.
Xie Yuandi continued: "Tai Gong also said that this is the Yunlei Sect's plan."
Is it necessary for the Yunlei Sect to do such a thing... Xie Qingyun said: "With the power of the Yunlei Sect, it should not be difficult to find out my whereabouts, so why bother?"
Xie Yuandi said calmly: "I have to ask you, did you smash someone else's dojo, or steal someone else's girl."
Thinking of the causes and consequences of his trip to Guo Kingdom, Xie Qingyun frowned and remained silent.
Li Jiran said: "Qingyun, you should go and avoid the limelight first. Yunlei Sect will never give up. Now that it has used national power, it will be a life-and-death feud."
Xie Qingyun suddenly hooked Xie Yuandi's neck and said, "Good boy, it turns out that you came to Baojing City with an important mission, to lure my elder brother to Xijing. But now you are opposed to my return to Xijing. Are you worried about my safety?"
"Get away!"
Xie Yuandi pushed him away fiercely and said expressionlessly: "Who is worried about you? I'm just worried that my grandpa is old and if he gets away with someone, I'm afraid I'll have to lie in bed and suffer for another ten days and a half."
"You're so shy, kid." Xie Qingyun laughed.
Xie Yuandi ignored him and raised his hand to Li Jiran: "Sir, I leave the escorting matter to you. Qi Zhongxuan is not my opponent, and Wu Ya is just a defeated general of Xie Qingyun's men, let alone a threat to me."
Li Jiran said happily: "If General Xie is willing to take over, that would be great."
Xie Qingyun thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to the proposal. If Taigong Xie is really willing to protect him, his return to Xijing will only cause a head-on conflict between the Yunlei Sect and the Xie family. As an affiliated sect of the super sect, he will really launch a ruthless
Come on, Xie, a group of people who only practice martial arts, plus him, may not be able to resist.
If it hadn't been for Huang Qiming, a fourth-level master, he would have fallen into Zhou Zong's hands last time. And if Taigong Xie had deliberately tricked him into returning to the capital for the sake of Li Guo's safety, then he wouldn't have foolishly jumped into it.
…
The gate of Baojing City.
The escorting prison van has been parked.
Xie Yuandi and his hundreds of cavalry were already in place. Li Jiran handed him the sealed documents. He put the documents in a leather bag on the horse's belly, bowed and said, "My lord, please stay."
Li Jiran solemnly handed over his hand: "Thank you, General, please take care of yourself."
Xie Yuandi looked towards the city from a distance, and thought that what he had experienced in just one day was actually more exciting than his three years on the battlefield... He took a breath, said no more, and got on his horse.
He left first. The prison car rolled over the snow, leaving two lines of ruts.
After a long time, Xie Qingyun suddenly appeared on the tower. If Li Jiran felt something, he raised his head and glanced: "Where do you want to go next?"
"Let's look around first."
Xie Qingyun jumped up and landed at the city gate. He looked at Li Jiran and said slowly: "Sir, remember not to touch or think about that thing under the ground. It has sealed Qi Zhongxuan's mansion and filled in the tunnel. You know this."
You know, don’t spread it to a third person.”
Li Jiran said: "I understand. It's just that Baojing City is an important pass of the Li Kingdom. It can be called the gate of the country. It must not be given up. I have been ordered to guard it and have a heavy responsibility... That thing must be solved."
I also think... Xie Qingyun has a headache. He feels that the monster will be his nightmare for a long time.
"I am traveling to other countries this time to explore the origin of that thing and find a solution. Please take care of yourself." He bowed his hand to Li Jiran. Then he held up his umbrella and walked slowly into the ice and snow.
At this time, Chen Yunsong rode his horse to Li Jiran's side, jumped off the horse, and looked at Xie Qingyun's back: "Why don't you stay with Immortal Xie?"
"Miao Xiao." Li Jiran patted him, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Chen Yunsong watched Xie Qingyun disappear into the ice and snow, shook his head and sighed: "The immortal is really a god..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard an angry yelling from the snow: "Who the hell dug a hole here?"
What a trap!”
His expression froze and he sighed, "It is inevitable that gods will make mistakes sometimes."
…
The sunset melts gold.
The ghost chariot stopped in the sky above Beiji, and Yun Zhai's face was gloomier than the sky. Several Yunlei Sect law enforcement disciples flew up with magic weapons, cupped their fists and said: "Elder, the plan has failed, Xie Qingyun has not returned to Xijing."
"Where is Zhou Zong?" Yunzhai asked.
"Zhou Zong left a letter and escaped." said the law enforcement disciple.
"How dare he escape!"
Yun Zhai gritted his teeth, reached out to retrieve the object from the air, grabbed the letter and smashed it into pieces. But after a while, he made another magic trick, and the paper scraps flying in the sky were pieced together again.
When I got up, I saw it said:
"Elder Yun:"
"I know you must be very angry when you see this letter, but please believe that I am not running for my life. That boy Xie Qingyun has appeared in Baojing City. I rushed there immediately after receiving the news. I swear I will never catch Xie Qingyun in this life.
Give it up and ask the elders to wait for the good news. To make up for the mistakes of the humble position, here is a plan that may solve the sect's difficulties."
The plan contained only a few lines, but Yun Zhai's expression became more and more serious. After a moment, he clenched the letter again and said in a deep voice: "The law enforcement team will continue to search for Zhou Zong's whereabouts. The others will follow me back to the sect.
Go and tell the sect master personally that I have something important to discuss with you."
…
Withered vines, old trees and dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes, the west wind and thin horses on the ancient road. The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
Although the current season is far away from the golden autumn, although there are no dead vines, old trees or dusky crows on the roadside, there are no small bridges and flowing water, and the person under Xie Qingyun is not a skinny horse, the sunset is indeed setting in the west, and he is far away from the heartbroken man.
Not too far.
Here's the thing.
Two days ago, he traveled south from Baojing City and entered the territory of Liuguo.
This Liuguo is a great empire that is as famous as Zhou and Guo. It governs more than a hundred states and counties, and its territory is more than ten times that of the Li Kingdom.
The reason why he chose to stay in the country was because the country was in the south and the Guo country was in the north. To avoid the sharp edge of the Yunlei Sect, of course the farther away the better. There were many sects in the country, including the Qingjian Sect and the Yunlei Sect.
It is quite large and is also a subsidiary of Super Bulk.
According to Xie Qingyun's own words: If it doesn't work out, just become a disciple of the Liuguo sect. It's better to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
His wishful thinking came true, but he didn't expect that on his first night in Liuguo, his nightmare came true...
It's a moonless night.
Beside the campfire, Xie Qingyun spread out the map Li Jiran gave him before leaving and found that this mountain forest already belonged to the border of Liuguo. After having a rough judgment on his location, he sat cross-legged and meditated as usual.
Finding nothing, I took out "Weiyun Xiaoji" to figure it out.
About an hour later, he felt sleepy and lay down next to the fire.
In the latter part of the night, when he was sleeping soundly, a bear suddenly appeared. This country is located in the south and has a warmer climate. The mountains in Hezhou were still covered by heavy snow, but spring was already in full bloom.
This bear had just woken up from hibernation. It was so skinny that it could swallow a whale. When it saw Xie Qingyun, it was also hungry, so it pounced on it and bit it.
Xie Qingyun's consciousness sensed the danger and desperately sent him warning signs. He was awakened and had no time to cast the spell, so he suddenly held the skinny bear's bloody mouth.
The skinny bear roared, and its foul-smelling breath hit Xie Qingyun's mouth and nose. He couldn't help but retch twice and almost lost strength.
"How long has it been since you brushed your teeth, stinky bear... If you want to eat me, I'll kill you!"
While one person and one bear were wrestling, someone suddenly said: "Can you help me?"
Xie Qingyun said happily: "Kill it quickly, let's roast the bear's paws and eat it!"
"Are you ordering me? Are you ordering me?" the man said.
"No matter what happens, do it quickly, I have no strength!" Xie Qingyun struggled to support himself.
"How can you just ask others to do things casually?" the man said.
"Then what should I do?" Xie Qingyun was still struggling to support himself.
"When you ask someone for help, shouldn't you kneel on the ground and prostrate yourself?"
Hearing such a familiar tone and expression, Xie Qingyun froze and turned around mechanically. He saw a girl in blue floating there like a ghost beside the bonfire. She crossed her arms angrily.
Waist, it seemed that her opponent in the debate had made her angry because he said something wrong.
"You..." Xie Qingyun almost fainted on the spot.
The bear finally saw the girl, and when he saw her floating next to the bonfire, fear appeared in the bear's eyes. In its limited cognition, it could not provoke such a thing that could float in the air, so it no longer cared about it.
