In Yinyang City, King You Xian Liu Ta was rewarding the three armies. The entire Yinyang City was filled with a strong atmosphere of celebration after the victory. Of course, there were also people who were in a low mood, namely Deng Long and Zuo Hade. Zuo Hade never expected that
The person he allowed himself to defeat turned out to be a young man under thirty years old
Deng Long was not happy after the war. On the contrary, he felt very heavy. He was involved in the Yin Spirit War. He didn't know how many Yin Spirits would die in his hands in the future. When he saw the 20,000 troops in the ancient locust forest
Being buried under his own scheme, Deng Long felt very conflicted in his heart.
"Come, everyone, first of all, we welcome General Zuo Had and his five thousand brothers to join our army, let's do it!" Liu Ta, the Right Xian King, raised his wine glass and stood up, laughing loudly.
"He's just a defeated general. I hope that in the future, everyone will ignore the past grudges and cooperate sincerely." Zuo Haad raised his glass and said.
All the generals raised their glasses to celebrate. Deng Long raised his glass and smiled at Zuo Hader, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Commander Deng Long, I, Zuo Had, only today found out that this battle can be fought like this. I, Zuo Had, am convinced that I will lose." Zuo Had raised his glass in honor of Deng Long.
"General Zuo, when you are on the battlefield, you can't help yourself. I hope you can understand," Deng Long said sincerely.
"Military Master Jue, my 20,000 fine cavalry that I carefully trained were burned down by your fire, which is the best in ancient and modern times." Zuo Hader's eyes were red and he smiled bitterly.
Liu Ta, the right virtuous king, saw that something was not right in the atmosphere, and quickly raised his glass and said: "General Zuo, I am willing to hand over my 20,000 tiger cavalry to you. From today on, we brothers will fight together to restore peace to the spiritual realm."
"
Zuo Hade raised his head and laughed, his eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, King You Xian, since I, Zuo Hade, have surrendered, I will naturally assist you wholeheartedly."
After saying that, he snorted coldly, placed the wine glass heavily on the table, stared at Deng Long coldly, and strode out of the handsome man's house.
King Youxian looked at Deng Long and said with a smile: "Military advisor, don't take it to heart. General Zuo suffered a heavy setback. It will be fine after a while when he recovers."
Deng Long smiled, stood up and said: "Generalissimo, don't worry, for the peace of the spiritual realm and the decisive battle with Li Gao, I will not be distracted by anything or anyone. I am a little tired, so I will go to rest first."
Deng Long drank the wine in one gulp and left quickly.
Seeing that Deng Long looked wrong, Li Kangkai stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, please drink slowly. I'll take the first step."
As soon as Zuo Hade, Deng Long, and Li Kangkai left, the banquet suddenly became deserted.
"Xiaolong, what's wrong with you? Everyone is having fun. If you leave like this, the Generalissimo will not look good on his face." Li Kangkai caught up with the confused Deng Long and asked with a frown.
Deng Long sighed and said: "Brother Li, you know who I am. You know that I am still thinking about it. If possible, I really don't want to be a five-generation wonder, let alone participate in any war."
, I just want to go back to before I met you and be my thieves freely in Xiangxi."
Li Kangkai took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for Deng Long, looked up at the hazy sky and said: "Xiaolong, how could I not know who you are? In fact, you have never changed. Over the years, our brothers have traveled all over the world, leaving scars
Tired, but what did we get? We got nothing. We got rid of Shura, and He Chao broke an arm and left us. The Japanese ninja's magic sword is still embedded in Lao Ma's chest."
"Brother Li, I'm really confused. Sometimes I wonder, why do we brothers have to work so hard? Yuan Shikai wants to restore, Shura wants to bring trouble to the world, what does this have to do with us? How many of us brothers have to do with it?
No matter how chaotic the world is, there will always be a place for us. What are we here for? Do you know? When He Chao left us, I really wanted to cry. He is our good brother, and he is our best friend.
I am 24 years old, but my heart is as gray as a gray horse. I am working as his killer all over the world. I am living a happy life, but he is still sleeping. What are we doing for this? Why do we have to be there when there are so many people in the world?
Is this a bloody battle with lives? Is it a strong sense of justice? This is really not what I want. Look, my hands are covered with blood now. These days, when I close my eyes, the dead ghosts come to me to claim their lives. I am tired.
I'm tired, really tired, do you understand? Lao Li!" Deng Long took a long puff of cigarette and said hastily
"No, Xiaolong, you are wrong. What is really wrong is not that we have a strong sense of justice, but that we are not willing to spend our lives in an ordinary way. From birth to old age and death, no one of us wants to live in vain.
Horses like wars and adventures, because only in this way can they realize their own value and have existed in this world. As for me, I like this kind of passionate life of brothers. Really, even if I die unfortunately one day, I will
No regrets, because I know that at least a few of you remember me, which proves that I have existed and lived in this world and have no regrets in this life. We are not here to let the world remember how great our achievements are. I have always remembered them all these years.
What you said has a clear conscience! Xiaolong, do you understand?" Li Kangkai grabbed Deng Long's shoulders and said with red eyes.
Deng Long shook his head, squatted on the ground and suddenly sobbed: "Brother Li, I really don't want to kill people, I really don't want to use Taoism, I just want to be an ordinary person, and I have a clear conscience. They are all lies to myself. I really
So tired”
Li Kangkai threw away the cigarette butt and breathed a long sigh of relief. Deng Long had really not changed. He was still the same young boy from Xiangxi, a simple boy from Xiangxi. Fate ruthlessly pushed him and his brothers into a life that did not belong to him at all.
His hands are stained with blood. Over the years, Deng Long has always encouraged his brothers, with a confident and friendly smile on his face, but no one understands his scars, his unwillingness and helplessness.
"Xiaolong, I promise you, take the relic and get rid of Nicholas, and we will end our adventurous career. If you are willing to stay in France, I will move my family to France. If you are willing to return to Xiangxi, I will follow you back.
Xiangxi, how about we brothers just be ordinary people and ignore it even if the sky falls?" Li Kangkai said
After a long time, Deng Long stood up, his eyes turned red and said: "Brother Li, my greatest joy is that I know you and Lao Ma, He Chao, Xiao Duan and other brothers. It is because of you that I can remain calm in this troubled world.
Change, and did not follow the trend of corruption. If our brothers are destined to be involved in this troubled world, it is also fate. I accept it. I am fine. Let's go back and see Lao Ma first. I will not be merciful when dealing with Li Gao.
Yes, even if my hands are stained with blood, even if I have nightmares every night."
"Okay, these are my good brothers, Li Kangkai. Let us brothers bring their adventure careers to a perfect end." Li Kangkai patted Deng Long on the shoulder and laughed.
Ma Tiexin was still asleep due to excessive exertion yesterday. Deng Long and Li Kangkai came to the camp, and Ma Tiexin was completely unaware of it.
"This kid had a tough fight with Zuo Hade yesterday. Look what a bear he has become now." Li Kangkai pointed at the sleeping Ma Tiexin and smiled.
Deng Long smiled and said: "Lao Ma usually claims to have supernatural powers. Let's make him suffer a little now. Let's see if he dares to be arrogant in the future?"
Having said that, Deng Long squatted down and bit his middle finger, dripped a few drops of blood into Ma Tiexin's heart, sat cross-legged on the ground, kneaded the secrets on his hands, and recited the Qingxin Mantra: "The sky is as clear as ice, and there are no waves."
shock……"
When Ma Tiexin woke up, he felt warm all over his body, most of his physical strength had been restored, and the severe pain had disappeared.
"Brother Ma, are you okay?" Deng Long drew a circle with his hands to close the curse, took a long breath, and asked with a smile.
"With you half-immortal here, what can happen to me?" Ma Tiexin opened his eyes wide, sat up, and said with a smile
"Xiaolong, actually I have a question I want to ask you. I've been holding it in my heart for a long time." Ma Tiexin suddenly asked strangely.
"Huh? You said" Deng Long said
"Why do you cultivators bleed every time? Is it because you have excess qi and blood in your body?" Ma Tiexin asked
"I feel the same way," Li Kangkai echoed.
Deng Long touched his head and said with a puzzled face: "You think I think this is what Taoism requires. What can I do? I've been dizzy lately. I even wonder if I've done too much bloodletting."
The three of them burst out laughing, unaware that the danger was approaching step by step.
In the underground palace, Li Gao sat on the throne, his face full of gloom. Li Chuang, Li Neng, and Widowmaker knelt on the ground without daring to breathe a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that when Li Gao didn't speak, it was when he was most terrifying and about to attack.
The time of killing
"Zuo Had was incompetent and lost 30,000 of our troops. What made the lonely king the most angry was that he actually surrendered to the rebels. The lonely king usually treated him well, but he did this. The lonely king wanted to eat his flesh alive and drink him.
"The blood" Li Gao suddenly stood up and roared
"Your Majesty, Zuo Had is incompetent. The 30,000-strong army did not even scratch the surface of the rebels. According to the spies, Zuo Had was completely destroyed by Liu Ta's fire in the ancient locust forest. In the end, he also surrendered to Liu Ta."
Li Chuang said with added jealousy, and at the same time he was secretly glad that he did not go into the army.
"One fire burned 30,000 yuan. When did Liu Ta, the reckless man, become so powerful?" Li Gao shouted angrily.
"Your Majesty, it is said that a man named Deng Long came from the Spirit Realm. He called himself the Fifth Generation Strange Man and was worshiped as a military advisor by Liu Ta. This vicious plan came from this Deng Long." Li Neng raised his head and said
"Deng Long? A strange man from the fifth generation? Haha!" Li Gao raised his head and laughed. Li Neng and the other three were so angry that they didn't dare to say a word, and lowered their heads.
"There are so many wonderful people from the fifth generation in this world. It's really nonsense for someone to randomly say that he is a wonderful person from the fifth generation." Li Gao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I ask for orders to lead thirty thousand black-armored elite cavalry. They will definitely cleanse Yinyang City with blood. I will bring the heads of Liu Ta and this strange man to see you." Li Chuang stood up and asked for orders.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Yinyang City must be heavily defended now. We are united as one. On the contrary, our army's morale has dropped due to Zuo Hade's rebellion. If we attack the city rashly, it may not be a good idea," Li Neng advised.
Li Gao raised his cloak, sat back on the throne, rubbed his forehead and said: "Li Neng is right. Judging from the lessons of Zuo Hader, now like a thousand years ago, we only know that showing off brute force is not advisable.
Li Neng, tell me what you think?"
"My brother believes that if you want to defeat the enemy, you must first dismantle their momentum and psychological defenses, making them a frightened bird. This will achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting," said Li Neng
Li Gao nodded with satisfaction. His younger brother was indeed the most resourceful person besides Zuo Xian Wang Wang Chong. He could calmly view the development of the war situation at all times.
"Li Neng, go on," Li Gaodao
"Brother Chen believes that our underground palace has the most elite killers, especially Widowmaker, who is proficient in the art of assassination. As long as we assassinate Zuo Hader and Deng Long, the spiritual realm army will inevitably collapse on its own, and at the same time, we can also warn the three armies of betrayal.
"Your Majesty's fate," Li Neng said calmly.
Li Gao closed his narrow eyes, thought for a while, stood up with a high-five and said, "This is indeed a brilliant plan, Widowmaker, are you confident in assassinating Deng Long and Zuo Had?"
Widowmaker's cold voice came from the black cloak: "I don't know, but Widowmaker promises to complete the mission to the death."
"Okay, Widowmaker, you lead thirty dead soldiers and set off immediately, lurk into Yinyang City, and assassinate Zuo Hader and Deng Long as soon as possible. Do you understand?" Li Gaodao said
"Widowmaker takes the order!" Widowmaker said coldly.
Yinyang City is still immersed in the joy of victory. No Yinling soldiers have noticed that more than thirty assassins have sneaked into Yinyang City. Death will soon envelope this city.
Recently, some readers have asked whether Deng Long has become more and more cruel, so Fafa specially revised it today and strengthened their dialogue. It can be regarded as a clear explanation. Deng Long respects everyone's opinions just like Fafa.
