Chapter 211 The Secret Realm of Listening to the Rain
Although the Nine Heavens Ranking does not involve the current government secrets, the scope is limited to the martial arts of the Central Plains. It excludes masters such as Wei Guogong Xu Huizu or Tatar Grand Master Guilichi who are qualified to be ranked on the list. They are listed on the gang.
There are nine names, but one of them is a real top master.
Liang Mengxing, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Hou Feng Zhenyue of Wenchang, Ye Wen, the leader of the Tianlian Sect, Lan Ruohai, the leader of Dingyuan, Leng Han, the martial arts leader of Peking, Murong Ying, the leader of Huashan, Xu Qiuyu, the Dingtian Needle, Zuo Dao, the leader of Penglai Pavilion, and the Capital Master
An Xiaohan, the master of Lingyin Pavilion, Fang Rutian, came out of nowhere. In the first battle, he defeated Fang Rutian, the master of the most popular list, and since then he has replaced him and written his name on the most popular list.
Then he defeated Lan Ruohai, proving that he was strong enough to be ranked in the top four of the list. As for how high he can reach in the end, no one dares to say.
What kind of soil and water brought up such a superb master who rose up like a comet, repeatedly defied the will of heaven, yet won every battle, and never failed? From whom did An Xiaohan's peerless swordsmanship come from Chu Shuicheng?
What is the origin? Besides Xiao Wuhen, Xu Wuchen and Border City Arrow, who else is there in Lingyu Hall and what other ulterior secrets are there?
Lan Qiao wanted to know everything about An Xiaohan.
The buildings in Chushui City are densely packed and the river is narrow, making it extremely convenient to track the disappearance of Lanqiao. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the Lingyu Hall that he had imagined so many times in his mind.
Unlike Houfu Mountain City, the Huashan Sect or the Tianlian Sect, which is located high on the dangerous peak of the majestic mountain, An Xiaohan's Lingyu Hall is not at a high place, but at a low place.
Four bamboo buildings three feet high above the water are arranged squarely in a circle, enclosing a "mouth"-shaped water area. This water area is not entirely a lake. There is an exquisite bamboo house on a small island in the middle.
, an ancient tree surrounded by two people penetrated from the roof of the bamboo house, spread its branches among the four nearby bamboo buildings, and covered the sky above the water.
It's still dark even during the day, and it's still humid even on a sunny day. Lan Qiao never expected that An Xiaohan's Lingyu Hall would be in such a secretive place that never seemed suitable for normal people to live.
The uncle hummed a boat song and passed through the narrow waterway between the two bamboo buildings, and then drove straight to the bamboo house on the island.
The door of the bamboo house creaked open, and Xiao Wuhen, dressed in black, came out and said, "Hey, it's Uncle Qi."
The uncle swung the bow of the boat, stretched out his hand, threw the tea leaves to Xiao Wuhen and said, "Someone asked me to bring this bag of tea leaves."
"Thank you, Uncle Qi." Xiao Wuhen took the tea leaves, opened a corner and smelled it, then showed a smile and said, "Xu Wuchen is a sensible guy." Although her appearance was ruined by a scar on her face, she still smiled.
There is also a strange beauty.
Lan Qiao was hiding in the bamboo building on the east side, and was thinking about how to sneak up close and eavesdrop on the conversation between Xiao Wuhen and An Xiaohan. Suddenly, he heard a muffled thunder above his head, and raindrops as big as soybeans were pouring down.
Dark clouds covered the sky like a quilt, and the rain curtain poured down messily like scattered bead curtains.
At this point, Lan Qiao understood the true meaning of "listening to the rain". The sound of raindrops falling on the surrounding bamboo buildings, the sound of falling on ancient branches and tree trunks, the sound of falling leaves and rolling into the lake, the sound of falling on bamboo doors and bamboo windows.
The sounds on the rocks and soil, these similar but slightly different rain sounds are intertwined to form a unique world composed of rain sounds. At the same time, everything in the world is nourished, giving people a refreshing feeling.
He originally wanted to dive there, but when he saw the heavy rain, he couldn't help but cry out to himself, "God help me." He first jumped from the bamboo building to the branch of the ancient tree, then climbed along the branch to the trunk, descended little by little, and finally dropped to the roof a few feet above.
Somewhere high.
The heavy rain not only muffled the sound of his body moving, but also blocked out other vital signs that An Xiaohan might notice, such as his breath and smell.
He concentrated his ears and listened carefully, and then he heard Xiao Wuhen's voice echoing in the bamboo house, "This bag of bamboo leaf green is indeed authentic, Master has his heart."
Then An Xiaohan said in a soft voice, "I know you like this one, so I specially asked them to make it. When you come back from a long journey, why don't you make a pot and enjoy it all?"
"Thank you, Master." Xiao Wuhen said movedly, "Disciple, it's better to report the business first."
"Tell me." There was a crisp sound of tea sets clattering down below. It seemed that An Xiaohan personally opened the tea sets and made tea for Xiao Wuhen. "Speak slowly, this rain will last for a long time."
Xiao Wuhen got straight to the point and said simply and concisely, "Li Jinglong's army was defeated again. The 600,000-strong army was completely wiped out. He himself took advantage of the chaos and fled back to the capital. The hard work of Princess Nanping and Miss Jinan Labor Army was in vain."
"I knew that Li Jinglong would be defeated, but I still didn't expect that he would lose so miserably and so quickly." An Xiaohan said calmly, "How did he lose?"
Xiao Wuhen was obviously prepared and said without hesitation, "Li Jinglong's troops left Dezhou, and at the same time Wuding Marquis Guo Ying's troops came out from Zhending. The 600,000-strong army marched directly to the Baigou River in two directions, setting up an ambush to attack the Yan army. They won the first battle. The next day we fought again
The Yan army was defeated again. Cao Guogong wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue him, but he saw Zhu Di riding alone on the river embankment and waving his whip. He suspected that Zhu Di had reinforcements hidden behind him and did not dare to pursue him. Zhu Di took this breathing opportunity to consolidate the camp and wait for his men to attack Zhang Yubu.
Arriving there, the two sides returned to a confrontation."
An Xiaohan poured the clear yellow tea soup into a white porcelain tea cup, handed it to Xiao Wuhen and said, "Take a sip of tea before we talk."
"Thank you, Hall Master." Xiao Wuhen took a sip and continued, "On the second day, Zhu Gaoxu led Duoyan's three guards to attack his flank, while Zhu Di personally led Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu to cover them up. These people all have the courage to do anything. On the other hand,
On the Southern Army side, Li Jinglong is a dandy, Guo Ying is also old and dim, and defeat is a doomed outcome."
She paused for a moment as she said this, as if she was debating whether to say the next thing. After a long hesitation, she said, "I heard that Zhu Gaoxu is extremely brave. Not only is he powerful in martial arts, but his commanding power on the battlefield is comparable to that of the world's famous generals. Previously,
Miss and Wuchen suffered his losses in Jinan."
This sentence brought Lan Qiao back to the days when he fought side by side with Zhu Gaoxu in Jinan. He remembered that he was rough and unruly and did things unconventionally. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a man who even the enemies were in awe of on the battlefield.
"Which of the world's most famous generals are you referring to?" An Xiaohan's tone was so cold that it seemed to turn into ice.
"Chang" Xiao Wuhen hesitated for a moment and finally said, "E Duke, Chang Yuchun."
"When Poppy was in Jinan, if she had chosen Zhu Gaoxu instead of Lan Qiao as her prey, Li Jinglong might have avoided today's defeat." An Xiaohan gave a noncommittal "hum" and then said, "But this is no longer important.
Where is Zhu Di now?"
"Zhu Di besieged Jinan City." Xiao Wuhen said calmly, "Li Jinglong's army was defeated, and now only Tie Xuan led the remaining army to defend the city. Tie Xuan was a civil servant, and the morale of the soldiers guarding the city was even lower. I believe that Jinan City has been destroyed.
Just a matter of time."
She took a sip of tea and gave An Xiaohan time to digest the information, then mused, "Once the city of Jinan is defeated, Zhu Di will gain the whole of Shandong. There will no longer be any obstacles on his way south, and he can conquer the capital with overwhelming force."
