The night is sultry. The moonlight is flowing like water. The unknown insects around are singing softly. What a wonderful night.
At the military camp fifteen miles away from the mouth of the canyon, it was already curfew time. However, many soldiers were staring at the smoke of the border sentry post in a daze. Everyone was wondering in their hearts, which blind Nanman was this?
Dare to come looking for death?
The military camp was brightly lit. There was an endless stream of people coming in and out. The faces of each general were full of grief and indignation. Sitting on the commander's seat, Xing Tianyan was wearing a white long-breasted gown and his whole body was shaking. His eyes were blazing.
The muscles on Qian's cheeks were shaking. He suddenly stood up and punched the long table in front of him into pieces. He said angrily: "The king's court has gone too far to bully others. Prince Pingxi, I will make his life worse than death."
The generals below stood up one after another and said with indignation: "General, we are going to cut that grandson into pieces with a thousand knives. We will avenge the death of King Zhennan."
"General. The last general is willing to lead a thousand soldiers to kill the King of the West."
"Yes, I am also willing to go forward."
"General, please give me the order." With a roar, eighty percent of the generals knelt on the ground and said, "The last general, please give me your order and swear to kill the dog thief."
At this time, a scout hurriedly ran in from outside: "Report that the sentry post ahead has been lost."
"Falled? What happened!" Xing Tianyan asked with a serious look on his face.
"I don't know the details either. My brothers sent out several waves but were blocked by King Pingxi's soldiers. I only found out this by chance from the guards who drove us away." The scout was careful.
reported back.
"King Pingxi is at the sentry post in front?" Xing Tianyan muttered in his heart. "What is this kid doing here? Could it be that he wants to create a puzzle to blame me so that he can seize the military power from me?"
The murderous intent is even stronger.
As soon as the generals heard that King Pingxi was heading to the sentry post, they all knelt on the ground.
"General, the enemy is right in front of you. I am willing to take the lead for the general."
"We are willing to fight to the death with King Pingxi."
In an instant, many generals requested orders to fight.
Xing Tianyan shook his head and said: "You guys get up first and wait for the spies to report back. King Pingxi is very deep in the city. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed the lord suddenly and we wouldn't have heard anything about him. This time he came to guard me.
It's probably not a good thing. Watch out for his trap and you'll be in trouble."
At this time, another scout hurried in and said, "General Qizou. Shen Tu Lei is outside asking for an audience."
Xing Tianyan was startled and said hurriedly: "Please come quickly." Shen Tu Lei is the captain of the Blood Fiend Guard. He is a personal soldier of Zhennan King. There must be something big happening when he comes.
In a hurry, Shen Tu Lei entered the army camp, saw Xing Tianyan and knelt down on the ground directly, saying: "The last general has joined General Xing Tian. The old man, King Zhennan, has returned to the west." After saying this, tears gleamed in the tiger's eyes. The army tent was filled with tears.
The few generals were also very sad.
Xing Tianyan supported Shentu Lei and said: "Captain of the guard, get up quickly. I have already received the news. I was also preparing to raise troops to gather in the city to capture the king, but I didn't expect that it would be too late. The crime deserves death."
Shen Tu Lei said: "General, please don't say any more. I'm risking my life to come here because I have important matters to discuss."
After hearing this, Xing Tianyan waved his hands and said: "The main generals of the army will stay. The remaining people are wearing armor and are on standby."
"No!" The generals who were sitting outside walked out of the camp one after another. At this moment, there were only a dozen people left in the military camp. Xing Tianyan said: "These people are all my old subordinates. If you have any guard captains, just speak up
.”
Shen Tu Lei also knew most of these people. Then he said: "Before his death, the prince left a legacy to General Xing Tian. Please read it." Then a sheepskin scroll escaped from his arms.
Xing Tianyan glanced at the scroll, then raised the edict above his head and said: "Your Majesty's foresight has already predicted that the royal court will be unfavorable to him. Let us preserve our strength so that it can be used by the young master in the future. Do you all hear clearly?"
With a roar, all the generals knelt on the ground one after another and said: "I will obey your orders. I will not give up even if I die."
Xing Tianyan exerted his strength, and the edict in his hand suddenly turned into a puff of flying smoke. Then he said to Shen Tu Lei: "King Pingxi is in front of the sentry post at the moment. I guess this is the fog he has set up to lure us to deal with it.
He is so good at laying down excuses so that he can divide our strength later. His intentions are really sinister. Pass on the order and be on guard. No one is allowed to enter the camp."
Shen Tu Lei said hurriedly: "General, please be patient. I am here today to deliver the royal edict. Secondly, there is a very important matter that requires the general's assistance."
Xing Tianyan was stunned and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"
Shentu Lei said: "Young Master mingled with the Fangfeng tribe's caravan and tried to break out of the checkpoint. But I didn't expect that King Pingxi would come to check the sentry post in person. The explosion that came from the sentry post just now must be about this. I have ordered the Blood Demon Guard to be there.
Stand by outside. As long as the general creates a little chaos, we will rush in and rescue the young master."
Xing Tianyan asked in surprise: "What? Are you saying that the young master has fallen into the hands of King Pingxi? Come here, quickly organize your troops and get my armor. Protect the young master from seclusion at all costs. Also inform General Gongsun.
Let him be there to provide support."
Shen Tu Lei hurriedly said: "General, you must not do it. King Pingxi only brought less than three thousand great witches. We will be enough to deal with him. If you take action, you will definitely be given the excuse of rebellion. The prince's hard work for so many years will be in vain."
Xing Tianyan sighed and said: "That's fine. You go and arrange the troops quickly. I will send a group of confidants to disturb their sight in the name of checking the sentry post. Don't forget to rescue the young master safely. He is our future."
I hope.”
Shen Tu Lei cupped his fists and said: "General, don't worry. Even if we risk our lives, we will not let the young master fall into their hands. But if we fail, please ask General Gongsun Lang to take the young master away immediately. That way we can at most
Half of the troops were lost, but the strength is still there. What does the general think?"
Xing Tianyan gritted his teeth and said, "That's all we have to do. It's better to break off one arm and finally destroy the whole body. It's a pity that General Gongsun can't show off his skills in the frontier from now on." The Xingtian family and the Gongsun family are family friends. This Gongsun Lang is him, Xing Tianyan
The son-in-law naturally sighed again.
Shen Tu Lei said with a smile: "We are waiting to die in the battle, and the young master lacks someone to protect him. Gongsun Lang is just available. When the young master makes a comeback in the future, he will definitely flourish. It is also a good thing."
Xing Tianyan smiled and said, "Why did I forget this? Go quickly. I will support you later."
At this time, something happened and a scout hurriedly came in and said: "The King of Pingxi has issued an order asking me to quickly support the border village. It is said that there is a foreign invasion."
Xing Tianyan was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed loudly and said: "God will not destroy me in Zhennan Palace. He invited me to go just in time. Come, give me the order. The three armies marched to the forward sentry post." And Shen Tu Lei also smiled easily,
He cupped his fists and said, "I'll say goodbye." After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Huo Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xia Xie's injury had improved. The Qi practitioners on the side were also very pleased. However, everyone had doubts in their hearts. Ordinary mortals could survive such an injury.
It was a miracle. And this Xia Xie survived. It was simply challenging the maximum endurance of the mortal body. It would be fine if he was a witch, but he was a mortal. So everyone was very curious.
Guangchengzi stood aside and squinted at Xia Xie, but he couldn't help but admire in his heart. "Jiejiao has a good disciple. The future of the second son is immeasurable. Hey, Jiejiao will dominate again for a while." It was just Taoist Duobao facing him.
He was not interested at all. He was still feeling sorry for the fake mountain and river design that he had spent a lot of time making. He turned to Guangchengzi and said: "It's okay now. Can we talk about compensation? Otherwise, I'll go back
The first thing is to tell Master that you are teasing my little junior sister."
Guangchengzi is so hateful. I don’t know why I came to this muddy water! I just came to help when I saw the people in the passage asking for help. Then I knew there was such a big trap here. The so-called dead Taoist friends, don’t die for poor Taoists.
This is his code of conduct. As a result, the business lost a lot of money. The money was returned with dry food. So he said angrily: "Duobao, you are so unjust. I am still helping others. Why am I now a double-faced person?"
?I tolerate others who frame me, but you and I look like a hooligan in our fairy-like appearance?"
Taoist Duobao said: "Stop talking nonsense. Hooligans are usually like you. I saved your life anyway. You should show some respect, right? You are careless in making friends. Why do you think I met you?"
When it comes to you, a famous iron rooster in the three worlds, this poor guy who loses money in business even wants to return to secular life."
Huo Ling'er frowned and shook her head in frustration. She was used to this. These people missed each other when they didn't meet. When they met, they bickered non-stop. When she lowered her head and saw Xia Xie opened her eyes, she roared.
He said: "Don't make any noise. Xia Xie is awake." Everyone then shut up.
Xia Xie opened his eyes and Huo Ling'er's anxious face came into view. His heart suddenly warmed up. When he grew up, it seemed that apart from his mother and father, no one had ever cared about him or cared about him like this. He lived alone.
Many years later, this trace of care was like a thirsty person meeting an oasis in the desert. How could he not be moved? Especially when he thought of his current situation. After narrowly escaping death, King Pingxi appeared, and they were still by his side. Even if they
Xia Xie felt that it was not important if he had any conspiracy against him. At least at this moment, they were all doing it for him. So he smiled and said, "Thank you, senior sister."
Seeing that he could speak, Huo Ling'er felt very happy. So he hurriedly said: "Don't move yet. I'm not the only one who came to save you this time. If so many senior brothers hadn't come to help me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save you."
.You should thank them. Especially Guangchengzi, they have made great contributions."
Xia Xie nodded, then smiled at Guang Chengzi and said, "Thank you, senior brother."
Guangchengzi smiled awkwardly and said: "Thank you for nothing. This is all our responsibility. When one person is in trouble, support from all sides will be provided. Even if you risk your life, you won't hesitate. Brother Duobao, don't worry about me."
Taoist Duobao said: "Come here. One thing is another. King Pingxi has not seen any movement for so long. I will definitely have a fierce battle in a while. Junior brothers, please be careful. Guangchengzi and I will try to capture him in a while.
King Pingxi, maybe everything will turn around. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be trapped here."
Guangchengzi waved his hand and said, "It's me again?"
Huo Ling'er chuckled and said: "Who let you get started first and have the highest seniority? Which disciple of Sanqing sits down and doesn't call you senior brother when he sees you? You are also lower than four people and above ten thousand people. Of course you are senior brother.
It’s going to be a lot of work. Senior brothers, don’t you think so?”
The capable Qi practitioners nodded one after another and said, "Huo Ling'er is right. Senior brother should take the lead and set an example for us."
Guangchengzi was so angry that he almost vomited blood again. He turned around and said fiercely to the remaining eleven of the Twelve Golden Immortals: "Let them just follow the booing. You guys are also booing? How will I deal with you after this beating is over?"
Chi Jingjing laughed and said: "Brother always teaches us, never die as a fellow Taoist, but as a poor Taoist. We know it by heart. How dare we disrespect your teachings?" Everyone laughed suddenly.
Guangchengzi sighed and said, "What a sin. God, please take me away with a thunder." Just after he finished speaking, he heard a roar of war drums in the distance. Then he felt that the earth was shaking. Thousands of troops.
The sound of the horse's footsteps was shocking. All the Qi practitioners stood up immediately. Then their expressions changed.
What caught their eyes was a patchwork of flags in the distance connecting the sky and the sea under the moonlight. Thousands of mounts emitted bursts of neighing sounds that shook the heaven and earth. The sound of neat footsteps and the sound of war drums filling the sky seemed to be louder every time.
Breaking their fantasy of survival.
The dark army slowly gathered towards them like a tide. God knows how many people there were. There were people all over the mountains and plains. The armor on their bodies was bright and their movements were uniform. The sharp blades in their hands exuded a faint bloody light. Every warrior looked in his eyes.
It's all about the belief in victory and the murderous intent. This is the Great Xia Border Guard Army that makes everyone frightened.
Guangchengzi's long sword fell to the ground with a "ding-dong" and everyone reacted. Guangchengzi hurriedly picked up the long sword and said with a bitter smile: "I have seen group fights. But I have never seen such a group fight. I guess the brothers have finished fighting.
This one will be famous forever. Junior Brother Duobao, I will give you a chance to stand out. You will go up first in a while. I will cover you."
Duobao gave him an unusually contemptuous look and said, "If you have any difficulties, go to your senior brother. Didn't your master teach you?"
At this time, King Pingxi smiled arrogantly and said: "Qi Practitioner, please hand over the prisoner now and leave your body intact. Otherwise, your life will be worse than death."
Guangchengzi took a step forward and said angrily to King Pingxi: "My grandson, you are really unjust. I have never seen a helper called a helper in a group fight. If you have the guts, please come over. I don't want to go back alive today. I'll count your longevity."
