Chapter 167 Riding the crane north!

After a moment, a ray of consciousness suddenly appeared in Huo Yin's mind.

This ray of consciousness is extremely close to him and obeys his orders.

This is exactly his mount, a crane named Maiba!

This is a crane with an olive green beak and a pure white body except for the black neck and rear ends of its flight feathers.

The skin on the top of the crane's head is exposed and is bright red in color. The long and curved black flight feathers are in the shape of a bow and cover the white tail feathers. The body is graceful and full of fairy spirit.

The crane has a wingspan of more than one foot and a body length of eight feet. It seems to be only slightly larger than an ordinary crane.

But the problem is that this is not an ordinary crane, but an immortal crane.

Its flight speed and carrying capacity are not comparable to ordinary cranes.

There would be no problem even if it was allowed to support a thousand kilograms of weight, so if Huo Yin sat on it, it would be more than enough for the crane.

"It's better if this crane is smaller. If it's too big, it won't be beautiful."

If it is a mount such as an eagle or an eagle, it will naturally be bigger, more majestic, and more beautiful.

However, when mounts such as cranes meet the needs as mounts, what they pursue is physical beauty.

Therefore, after Huo Yin obtained all the information about the crane, it can be said that he was very satisfied with the condition of this mount.

“I used to have to walk no matter where I went, but now that I have the crane, I finally don’t have to walk anymore.”

Huo Yin did not summon the crane immediately, but allowed the crane to forage freely and wait until early tomorrow morning to come back to the inn.

The next day.

When it gets dark, people in Taiyuan City get up and go out to prepare for a busy day.

As the sky gets brighter and brighter, there are more and more pedestrians on the street, and more and more people gather in front of the inn.

Almost all the people standing in front of the inn did the same thing, which was to raise their heads and look at the eaves of the second floor of the inn.

At this moment, an elegant crane is standing on the eaves of the second floor of the inn.

The size of this crane is obviously larger than ordinary cranes, and there is a thin layer of fairy mist lingering around the crane. This layer of fairy mist spreads and gathers with the movements of the crane, which is extremely magical.

"This is a crane, it is auspicious!"

"Qinglian Immortal Lord lives in this inn!"

"What? Could it be that this is Qinglian Immortal Lord's mount?"

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and everyone looked at the crane with awe and vague longing in their eyes.

Who wouldn’t want to own such a crane?

Outside the crowd.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning were sitting on horseback, looking at the cranes in the distance, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces.

"The Immortal Lord is so carefree."

Li Shimin sighed softly.

While ordinary people like them were fighting for fame, wealth and glory, Huo Yin was already shining brightly. He would become the center of attention wherever he went, and was an existence that no one could ignore.

Even if he becomes the emperor of this dynasty one day in the future, I am afraid that he will not be qualified to stand in front of Huo Yin with his back straight.

Li Xiuning whispered: "Second brother, do you think there are other immortals in this world besides the Immortal Lord?"

Li Shimin shook his head and did not answer this question.

One such immortal is enough in the world. If there are two, there may be a problem.

Just when Li Shimin thought of this, Li Xiuning said again: "The Immortal Lord will solve the Turkic problem, but Liu Wuzhou is still a problem."

Li Shimin heard this and said: "Dad left the third brother behind because he planned to let the third brother be wary of Liu Wuzhou."

Li Xiuning shook his head and said: "Although the third brother is strong in martial arts, he lacks intelligence and may not be Liu Wuzhou's opponent. However, it is good for the second brother that he cannot stay with the eldest brother."

Li Shimin nodded lightly.

Although Li Jiancheng is the head coach, he knows Li Jiancheng and knows Li Jiancheng's balance. When the war does not go smoothly, this distinction between commander and deputy will naturally change.

Li Xiuning said happily: "Judging from the attitude of the Immortal Lord towards the Turks yesterday, it is fortunate that we did not surrender to the Turks, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Li Shimin's expression did not change when he heard this, but he was also happy in his heart.

Surrendering to the Turks was a last resort in order to stabilize the rear.

Fortunately, they just mentioned this matter yesterday and did not discuss it in depth and implement this plan.

If not, I'm afraid that the Li Clan would have been treated as alien lackeys by Huo Yin, and no one would be left alive!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly thought that Liu Wuzhou's problem might no longer need to be considered by them.

He turned to look at Li Xiuning and said with emotion: "Xiuning, you are really lucky to have won the lottery. Maybe the troubles of the Turks and Liu Wuzhou will be solved because of your prediction yesterday."

Li Xiuning sighed and said: "Second brother, is it really a good thing that you said that our Li family can no longer ask the immortal king for divination in the future?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "It is indeed a good thing for brother now, and it will also be a good thing for me in the future."

Judging from the relationship between him and Li Jiancheng, they can still get along with each other now, but in the future they may have to fight each other.

He was confident that he could defeat Li Jiancheng, but he had absolutely no confidence that he could defeat the immortal!

Nowadays, no one in the Li clan can ask for hexagrams from Huo Yin, which means that Li Jiancheng is not allowed to ask for hexagrams from Huo Yin and use the hexagrams to deal with him. This matter must be a good thing for him in the long run.

Li Jiancheng can still laugh now, but he may not be able to laugh in the future!

While Li Shimin and Li Xiuning were talking, the crane standing on the eaves suddenly flapped its wings, flew down from the eaves lightly and gracefully, and landed in front of the inn, causing the crowd to scream in surprise.

At the same time, a figure slowly walked out of the inn, it was Qinglian Immortal Lord, Huo Yin!

Huo Yin looked at the crane in front of him, smiled slightly, said nothing, and floated up with a slight tap of his feet, landing on the crane's back.

Everyone around looked at Huo Yin's celestial spirit, carefree and elegant appearance, and all of them couldn't help but kneel to the ground and kept bowing.

call!

Suddenly, there was a strong wind in front of the inn, followed by a high and long roar!

The crane carried Huo Yin, soared into the sky, and was several feet above the ground in the blink of an eye. Then it flew even higher, straight into the sky!

Seeing this scene, countless people in Taiyuan City knelt on the ground.

"Congratulations to the Qinglian Immortal Lord!"

…

There are nine fortresses in the world, and Yanmen is the leader.

As an important pass on the Great Wall, Yanmen Pass is the key to China's fight against the Turkic invasion.

If Yanmen is closed, there will be no worries in China, and the Chinese people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Once Yanmen Pass is lost, the Turks can go all the way south and break into China. This will definitely be a disaster for China.

On the city wall of Yanmen Pass, two figures in armor stood side by side, looking solemnly at the outside of the pass, worried.

This tall and tall man is Chen Xiaoyi, the Prime Minister of Yanmen County.

The tall and burly man is Wang Zhibian, the general of Huben Lang.

The two of them are shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding Yanmen Pass and have not removed their armor for dozens of days.

"Liu Wuzhou is really hateful and a traitor to the Han Dynasty!"

Wang Zhibian looked at the rolling army outside the city and couldn't help but cursed angrily.

This Liu Wuzhou was originally a lieutenant in the army of Mayi. After killing Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, he claimed to be the governor. He opened warehouses to provide relief to the poor and bought people's hearts. He gained more than 10,000 soldiers and had great ambitions to send his troops south to fight for the world.

If that was the case, they wouldn't care too much about Liu Wuzhou, because the Sui Dynasty was already in chaos, wars were raging, and there were countless heroes from all over the country, and there was no shortage of Liu Wuzhou.

However, Liu Wuzhou was so ambitious that he did not deserve to be a son of man. He actually professed his vassalage to the Turks' Shibi Khan and was willing to be a lackey of the Turks. He wanted to attack Yanmen Pass for the Turks and help the Turks break through the pass and move south!

This made Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Zhibian, who were determined to defend Yanmen Pass and resist the Turkic invasion, intolerable!

The traitors deserve to die, and the Han thieves deserve to be cut to pieces with a thousand swords!

"Fortunately, Jun Cheng, you are so smart that you discovered something was wrong with Wang Que and Yang Changren in advance and killed them. Otherwise, I'm afraid we wouldn't have the chance to stand here and talk."

Wang Zhibian sighed again.

This king was indeed the prefect of Yanmen County, and Yang Changren was the former county magistrate. After hearing about Liu Wuzhou's army, they secretly gathered troops and prepared to respond to Liu Wuzhou and offer the city to the Turks.

Unexpectedly, the news leaked out and Chen Xiaoyi learned of their plan. Chen Xiaoyi decisively chose to strike first and captured and executed Wang Que, Yang Changren, their family, and their gang members, thus saving Yanmen County.

When he heard about this, he was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

Chen Xiaoyi heard Wang Zhibian's words, smiled bitterly, and said: "Now we are an isolated city, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop it for long."

When Wang Zhibian heard this, he also sighed deeply and said: "If the city is destroyed, it will only die!"

They would rather die than surrender to the Turks, let alone watch the Turks harm the Chinese people. Death will be their final destination.

Woo!
