Chapter 585: Entering Xixia again, encountering people blocking the way
Just as the two of them were hurrying back to Tianqiong Pass in Qingzhou, a figure came with a sword and landed on the top of Tianqiong Pass with lightning speed.
Xiao Pojun and Wang Xiu were the first to notice the aura, so they rushed over and stood in front of the man.
Seeing the man's uninvited attitude, Wang Xiu looked murderous and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The visitor smiled softly and said, "By order of the princess, I come to invite His Highness Prince Huai to the Thunder Gate."
Xiao Pojun didn't care about that. With a wave of his sword, his whole body was ejected like a cannonball, forcing the person to fall off the tower and land on the prairie.
Wang Xiu followed closely behind, Tang Heng's sword was unsheathed, and his momentum surged to the extreme. He was obviously a warrior who had entered the cave for the first time.
The man waved his sword lightly and directly blocked Xiao Pojun's attack.
"Okay, okay, these two Qingzhou heroes are really amazing. One has entered the Taoist realm, but his combat power is close to that of Dongxuan, and the other has already broken through the realm and is proud. It's really gratifying and congratulatory."
"Taoist useless, do you think that the Qingzhou Beifu soldiers can't do anything to you if Senior Huangquan is not around?"
On top of the city tower, hundreds of soldiers were waiting in formation. The archers all aimed at the old Taoist, waiting for an order. In the military camp behind the closed door, nearly 10,000 cavalry were already ready to go. Even the cultivators of the Great Cave Mysterious Realm It is impossible to escape intact.
The useless Taoist waved his long sword and took on the two men's attacks one after another without any intention of retreating.
"Pindao has no intention of offending Qingzhou. He was on a mission last time. Today he is just here to invite you. He is not an enemy of Qingzhou. I hope that the two generals will make it convenient for His Highness Prince Huai to come out and see him."
"Then let's see if you can pass our test!"
In an instant, Xiao Pojun unleashed all his strength, his momentum approaching Wang Xiu's, and the gap in realm was already in vain at this moment. The two completely different swords were both capable of attack and defense when combined at this moment.
Taoist Wu Yong's expression did not change at all, but the man holding the sword moved his hand, and a breath of death came to his face. The powerful sword energy surged endlessly, like a great river.
The two of them could only hold on for a moment together, and there was still a big gap between them and the man who was called the Sword Immortal in the Western Jin Dynasty. If they didn't try their best, they couldn't resist at all, and they could only retreat steadily.
Feng Yu and Zhuge Zhi, who had just returned to Tianqiong Pass, also felt the fighting spirit outside the pass, but they lacked some murderous intent.
At the door of the study, Cheng Yi and Li Bian were drinking tea, indifferent to the war.
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Li, what's going on outside?"
"Someone is here to see you. They are happy to see Hunter Xin and want to compete, but they are just humiliating themselves. After all, two young Dongxuan and a warrior who is close to the peak of Dongxuan still can't They are on par with each other, let alone someone who is known as the Sword Immortal."
Sword Immortal? Taoist Wu Yong, the swordsman who can make Lao Huang think highly of him.
"He came to see me?"
"Otherwise, who else can we turn to? No matter how powerful a person is, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, he is nothing more than a mantis using his arm as a chariot."
"I gonna go see."
Several people went up to the tower together and saw that the three people on the grassland were fighting vigorously. To be precise, only two of them were fighting with swords, and the ones with swords were just communicating.
"stop!"
Feng Yu's shout stopped the one-sided competition, and the three of them took off and stood on the tower. The soldiers pointed their guns at their powerful enemies and did not let up.
"The Taoist has come all the way and you don't know why?"
"Haha, Your Highness King Huai, why should you pretend not to know at this time? I have been waiting for three days. I know your aura is coming back, so I just want to come and invite you. I just misunderstood what happened just now."
"Oh? You four princes have already entered Ye's house?"
"In Xianyue City, I only need to wait for an order from inside, but there is still a difference between entering the Ye Family and entering the Ye Family. It can only depend on his own destiny."
"I would like to know whose order the Taoist priest is here. I wonder if you can tell me. Is it the second or fifth child in your family?"
Taoist Wu Yong smiled slightly, "Is this important? The result is the same. Your Highness can rest assured that with me, Taoist Wu Yong, no one in the Xia Kingdom can hurt your Highness even a hair before you step through that door."
Feng Yu looked at him thoughtfully. This signal was not a good start. This trip seemed to be more dangerous than he thought, and this person seemed to be more biased towards Ming Wanqing, which was very detrimental to him.
"Since the Taoist has personally invited me, how can I refuse? However, I have just returned. Can you allow me to take a bath, change my clothes, and visit other countries? I can't do this in such an image."
"Your Highness, please come and let me know when you are ready. I have been waiting on the tower here."
Feng Yu returned to his room and asked someone to bring hot water and wash himself thoroughly. He was chased all night and entered the tomb passage, but he felt very uncomfortable. They must have made arrangements for the useless Taoist to come.
Everything on this journey is fine, but I don’t know if this useless Taoist is just loyal to the royal family or if he has other motives.
After changing his clothes from head to toe, Feng Yu opened the door and found Cheng Yi still drinking tea there, not worried at all.
"Uncle Cheng, your expression makes me feel like I'm a picked-up child. I don't deserve to be hurt."
"There's no point worrying. You can only survive the danger by yourself. But if this trip can make new progress in the relationship with the Xixia royal family, it will be a great achievement."
"I'm afraid of picking chestnuts from the fire. I'm afraid the people over there are all foxes. Just look at these few little ones. They are not fuel-efficient lamps."
"Could it be that you are, Your Highness?"
"I~, okay, I can't help you, so let's go."
"Your Highness, wait a moment. I have a poem to give you before you say goodbye."
"Uncle Cheng, just say it, don't be so secretive."
"It looks like a ridge on the side and a peak on the side, with different heights from near and far. I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain. There are many things in Xixia and Leimen. You have to learn to look out and don't be led by others.
.”
"Uncle Cheng, if you know anything else, just tell me."
"No, it's useless to say more. I'm just inferring some things based on the Zhuge family's intelligence history. If you want to truly know their hearts and plans, you can only truly understand them."
"Didn't you just say that you were only here in the mountains? Now you are going to enter the mountains again?"
"This mountain is not the other mountain. You will know it when you go there. But be careful, this road is definitely not a peaceful road."
"I got it. I left. When I came back, I didn't even eat anything. I just drank a glass of boiled water. It's really inhumane."
When they arrived at the gate, the two horses were ready. Feng Yu and the useless Taoist rushed towards the west together.
Zhuge Zhi looked at their backs, thinking about what Cheng Yi had just said, and felt that there were still many things he hadn't seen through.
"Oh, ginger is still spicy after old age."
Feng Yu and Wu Yong Taoist walked around, entering and leaving the city without anyone blocking them. The old Taoist didn't say anything, he just held his sword and let the horse walk without hurrying or stopping.
"Taoists are revered as Sword Immortals in Xixia."
"It's just a false reputation. Compared with Senior Huang Quan, he is still slightly inferior."
"But senior, I think you don't seem to have any desire for power. I heard that you are alone and have no family. Why do you want to serve the Xixia army? Is it possible that the royal family has given you some benefits that you cannot refuse?"
"Your Highness King Huai, you are overthinking this. Pindao is just trying to repay his kindness. But in the final analysis, what does this have to do with His Highness? It would be better for Your Highness to worry less."
"It doesn't matter. I'm just curious. I have nothing to do. Just the two of us are bored to death without talking. As the saying goes, one old and one young, the story is well told. I thought I could hear something about it.
What about the Taoist story?"
Taoist Wuyou's eyes narrowed, and at that moment, Feng Yu felt murderous intent. Although it was not directed at him, he was still timid. The swordsmanship of this old Taoist seemed to be very murderous, much more serious than when he became possessed, but
Judging from his character and subordinates, he doesn't look like a top killer specially trained by Xixia.
"I have no story to tell. Your Highness, there is a small inn on the roadside ahead. You can take a rest here tonight. You and I will continue on the road tomorrow morning."
"If you don't say it, don't say it. How stingy."
Outside Weiwei City, the two of them were riding at a leisurely pace. The old Taoist remained in the same posture, even with his eyes closed most of the time, not caring where he went.
After waiting outside Tianqiong Pass for three days, he was not in a hurry on the way. He just held the sword, but he was not a sword fanatic and did not communicate with the outside world. It seemed that only memories were the only things worth paying attention to in his life. Feng Yu knew
, such people always have a story of their own.
"Taoist, there is someone blocking the road in front of you, will you ignore it?"
Just on the official road that was about to enter the city, a man in black wearing a bamboo hat blocked their way. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he raised his head and looked at the two of them.
Those eyes were very stern, and Feng Yu could tell that this man had probably killed many people on his hands.
Murderous aura filled the air among the three people, and those who felt something was wrong speeded up their pace and stayed away from the two people.
"You are Qin Junze."
Taoist Wu Yong opened his eyes and took a look, then closed his eyes again, as if he had fallen asleep.
Feng Yu knew that this old guy didn't seem to care about him, so he could only deal with it by himself: "This king does have such a name. Why, is this name so popular in your Xixia country?"
The man in the bamboo hat became more murderous, and his thumb was already pressed against the handle of the knife.
"You're not old, but you're very courageous. I hope your strength can match your courage."
The long knife was unsheathed with a cold light and was already in the hand. The problem was found without any fuss, and it got into the theme as soon as it came up.
"Taoist, this man looks like he wants to kill me. You don't care. What did your emperor tell you? Is it possible that it doesn't matter whether I live or die?"
"As long as you don't die, you can do whatever else you want."
