"Kiuro, don't worry about this anymore. Aren't we back? I believe everything will be fine."
Finally I saw the city wall of Chang'an City. Under the "Golden Eyes of Destruction", the golden dragon symbolizing the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty was hovering over Chang'an. It was many times stronger than when Li Zhi left.
Seeing Li Zhi outside Chang'an City, the National Fortune Golden Dragon trembled all over, slowly shrank in size, and flew in the direction of Li Zhi and others.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, you are finally back——"
At this time, the National Fortune Golden Dragon has turned into a small golden dragon three feet long, but its head is surprisingly big, just like an ordinary person's head.
Li Zhi has been away for many years, but I didn’t expect that this golden dragon of national fortune would still remember the aura of Li Zhi?
Li Zhi never expected that the golden dragon of the Tang Dynasty would actually evolve to this point and be able to speak?
However, what was happening in front of them could not be seen by the pedestrians walking on both sides of the road. If they really paid attention, they would only see a man and two women standing in front of the gate of Chang'an City.
Things like this happen almost every day. After all, Chang'an City is the largest city of the human race in this era. Almost all the human race in Nanzhan Continent regard it as a holy land in their hearts.
Li Zhi even discovered that there were many practitioners passing through, including Xuanzhen Taoists, bald monks, and even sporadic monsters.
However, among these people, after looking at Li Zhi for a long time, he did not find anyone with too high cultivation level. The strongest one did not even reach the "celestial immortal" realm.
"Thank you for your hard work. The Tang Dynasty is protected by you, and I feel more at ease. I will give this to you——"
As soon as Li Zhi raised his hand, a white light poured into the mind of Guoyun Jinlong, which was the first few levels of Li Zhi's "Ti Jue" technique.
The Golden Dragon of National Luck, strictly speaking, is not a real dragon, but is condensed from the country's luck and takes on the appearance of a dragon.
When the country is prosperous, the cultivation of the Golden Dragon of National Luck will grow day by day. On the contrary, the cultivation of the Golden Dragon of National Luck will stagnate or even decline.
It rarely gives birth to its own consciousness, or in other words, the consciousness of the country is the consciousness of the Golden Dragon itself.
Before a country is about to perish, the Golden Dragon of National Destiny will often leave. Some say that it died for the country first, and some say that the country is no longer able to bear the fate of the Golden Dragon of National Destiny.
Yang Chan and Bai Suzhen have recently practiced Li Zhi's "Physical Technique" and "Heart Dao", and found that the more diligently they practice these two techniques and the deeper they understand them, the more they seem to rely on Li Zhi.
?
In this situation, Li Zhi actually made a similar discovery when he was on the "Yingzhou" island.
At that time, he thought it was because he had refined the "Yingzhou" island protection formation, but now it seems that the problem lies in these two techniques.
Yang Chan and Bai Suzhen naturally had no objections to this. As Li Zhi's wife, Yang Chan was even excited that these two techniques had such characteristics.
If more people could practice these two techniques...
When Yang Chan told Li Zhi this idea, Li Zhi was a little disapproving. Is this a way to "train" manpower?
However, Li Zhi will not easily let go of the people around him or when he encounters real talent.
During this hundred-mile journey, he has gradually understood the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
……
It turned out that Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty had not been in court for almost a year, and only Prince Li Chengqian took three appointed ministers to conduct an overview of the affairs of the court.
To say this, we have to go back eight months.
In the third month after Tang Emperor Li Shimin announced that the prince would supervise the country, war broke out in Northern Xinjiang. To be precise, news of defeat came from Northern Xinjiang.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there were many capable and wise generals who were capable of fighting. Today, the commander-in-chief generals in charge of northern Xinjiang include Li Ji and Cheng Yaojin.
Originally, the "soap-robed general" Wei Chigong was also stationed in northern Xinjiang. At that time, Tang Emperor Li Shimin was once harassed by ghosts. It happened that Yuchi Gong returned to Beijing to report on his duties, so he was left behind.
In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Yuchigong, who had reached the "Nascent Soul" stage, died inexplicably in his mansion.
All Yi Zhi's friends went to investigate, and even Li Shimin took Sun Simiao there, but they still didn't find any abnormalities.
Yuchi Gong of the Tang Dynasty is dead, but the clone of the "Black Evil God" in the heaven has officially returned to his throne.
Yuchi Gong was originally sent by Heavenly Court, and traveling with him was a clone of "Zuo Tianpeng". The two of them were supposed to return to Heavenly Court early, but they didn't expect something went wrong in the middle.
The avatar of "Zuo Tianpeng" in the lower realm is naturally Qin Qiong, but he met the freak Li Zhi. Not only was his stubborn illness completely cured by Li Zhi, but his entire fate was also changed.
For more than ten years, Qin Qiong has been practicing in the "Prince Jin's Mansion" day and night.
Although his cultivation realm is not that dazzling, he has steadily reached the late stage of "Transcending Tribulation", which is just one step away from the "celestial immortal" realm, even surpassing his son Qin Huaiyu.
This is also thanks to Li Zhi's help. Over the years, Qin Qiong has slowly refined the magic power left in Qin Qiong's body by "Zuo Tianpeng".
The two were originally of the same origin. After refining, Qin Qiong's realm has grown steadily. It's not too dazzling, but it is better than being steady step by step.
If Yuchi Gong cannot settle in the "Prince Jin's Mansion", there will be little meaning in staying in the human world, and he may even have long nights and dreams. If a situation like Qin Qiong happens again, it may be even worse than the gain.
Therefore, the "Black Evil God" took back his clone in time after asking the Great Heavenly Lord for instructions.
Fortunately, among the official leaders of Chang'an City, there are still Li Jing and Wei Zheng. In the eyes of Heaven, they still have enough strength to influence the direction of the Tang Dynasty.
However, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty suddenly announced that Li Chengqian, the prince of the Eastern Palace who had been dormant for many years, would come out to supervise the country. Even if three auxiliary ministers were arranged, the power given to him would be overwhelming.
Even later, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discovered that Tang Emperor Li Shimin never left the "Prince Jin's Mansion" at all.
Only four people were able to go in to pay homage, namely Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Qin Qiong. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian was not allowed to enter the "Prince Jin's Mansion".
As a result, the government and the public were inevitably talking about it. With the help of caring people behind the scenes, it didn't take long for the entire city of Chang'an to be filled with rumors.
It's a pity that despite this, Tang Emperor Li Shimin was very calm, hiding deep in the "Prince Jin's Mansion", and had no intention of coming forward to clarify.
It was not until three months later that news of the defeat in Northern Xinjiang came.
The Tang Dynasty in this world had an extremely large territory. The farthest point of the so-called Northern Territory even reached the outskirts of Beiju Luzhou.
The once arrogant Turks lived in this narrow area, guarding the borders of the grassland and using the vast grassland to defend their last dignity.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. In response to Li Zhi's request, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has always used the title of "Zhenguan" and has never changed it during the process.
Li Shimin also asked Li Zhi why he made such a suggestion, but Li Zhi laughed and refused to answer.
In fact, Li Zhi just felt that the reign name was friendly, but his smile and no answer made Li Shimin feel a little unfathomable.
The Turks who were suppressed in the north have never extinguished their ambition to expand outward. However, the Tang Dynasty's prosperous national destiny in the past few decades has left them with no hope.
As a result, many Turks went further north to seek help.
In fact, in the vast prairie, there are not only Turks, and even within the Turks, not all of them belong to the human race.
There are many half-orcs, and not only do they have human blood flowing in their bodies, but they also have various auras of monsters.
Ashina was familiar with the situation. He established himself as the new Turkic Khan two years ago. He gathered some old and young Turks scattered around and began to dominate northern Xinjiang.
At first, no one noticed their existence. They were only a tribe of tens of thousands of people. On the vast prairie, there were many tribes stronger than them.
As for Ashina's self-reliance as a khan, those who knew it would laugh at it. The Turks have declined. Even if some people still have ambitions, they no longer have the strength.
I never thought that this Ashina Mujirugui, who appeared out of nowhere, could unify all the Northern Turkic tribes in one year and pull up a cavalry force of more than 100,000 people.
What's even more terrifying is that among their 100,000 cavalry, there is actually an army of all orcs.
Thousands of ferocious beasts faced the tribes that refused to surrender. It was really bloody. They simply crushed them, and even humans and livestock became the prey of these ferocious beasts.
The sky of the prairie was once shrouded in the thick smell of blood, and the evil spirit was soaring into the sky, but Ashina Muji liked this atmosphere the most.
He is actually a half-demon, and this evil spirit that fills the sky has become the nourishment for Ashina's cultivation.
Unfortunately, these nutrients are still too little, completely unable to meet his demands for cultivation.
As a result, Ashina Nishugui extended his evil claws to the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty.
The first to bear the brunt was the 80,000 men under Cheng Yaojin. Facing the tide of ferocious beasts coming from the shop, groups of soldiers were knocked down, bitten, and devoured.
Although there are some brave soldiers who are played by masters of "Dark Jin", "Ming Jin" and even "Hua Jin", they are really outnumbered.
Wolves, insects, tigers and leopards were easier to deal with. Cheng Yaojin even saw some beasts walking upright. Are they still beasts?
Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and personally led the people out of the pass.
You know, Cheng Yaojin is not just a blessed general. Although he is a few years older, he is also a strong general who has reached the middle stage of the "Golden Elixir".
The "Xuanhua Giant Ax" in his hand was more than ten feet long. When the ax rolled out, dozens of beasts were killed on the spot.
"Haha, I finally met a decent one, a cultivator from the human race. Will it taste better when chewed?——"
When Cheng Yaojin was about to kill, a monster with an animal face and a human body rushed out from the crowd of thousands of beasts. He held a numbered mace in his hand, bared his teeth and howled.
"What kind of monster are you?——"
Seeing the monster in front of him, even if Cheng Yaojin was riding on his beloved "Big Belly Grasshopper Red", he was more than a head shorter than the other person.
Cheng Yaojin could tell that the other party was not a ferocious beast. He was considered a monster, right? He was talking about what people said, but Cheng Yaojin couldn't see through the depth of the other party's cultivation.
"Monster? Grandpa is a wolf commander from Luzhou, Beiju. Today, none of you, tens of thousands of people, can even think of escaping——"
The other party didn't seem to be very willing to talk. There were fresh rations everywhere in front of it, and it was a little impatient.
The giant mace moved upwards and downwards, and was struck down by Cheng Yaojin.
"When——"
There was a loud noise, and Cheng Yaojin's "big-bellied grasshopper red" crotch stomped back more than ten steps, finally sitting on the ground.
Cheng Yaojin also felt uncomfortable. After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, he was also a general known for his strength, but when he was shocked by the opponent's mace, the tiger's mouth burst open and blood flowed down his hand.
"Okay, humble human race, give your Lord Wolf another blow -"
"Woo——"
Reason told Cheng Yaojin that he must never pick up this mace again, but he was surrounded by his legacy for many years.
"Grandma, I, Old Cheng, will fight with you——"
Since there was no way out, Cheng Yaojin decided to risk everything.
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Cheng Yaojin is no longer the salt smuggler he once was, but the famous Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty, leading 80,000 iron-blooded men of the Tang Dynasty, and behind him are thousands of people of the Tang Dynasty.
Cheng Yaojin tightened the reins of his horse, held the horse between his legs, and held the Xuanhua ax with both hands. Even if he knew that the opponent was strong, could he still retreat?
Even if he dies, he will die on the way to charge!
People use the power of horses, and horses help others. After the test just now, Cheng Yaojin did not dare to hold back at all this time. He rounded the Xuanhua ax and faced the opponent's giant mace.
"Boom——"
The impact was louder this time, and the surrounding area within ten feet could not wait to be razed to the ground.
The beasts around the monster fled one after another, and the iron guards guarding Cheng Yaojin suffered many broken bones and tendons.
"Pfft——"
After all, Cheng Yaojin couldn't resist, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Looking at the war horse under him, it was completely smashed into the ground. It had already died of exhaustion, without even a last neigh.
"Wow, my old buddy——"
This will make Cheng Yaojin feel distressed.
There is a saying that "a general without a horse is like a broken leg." His war horse, which he jokingly called "big-bellied grasshopper red," was originally called a "curly lion beast."
It has been with Cheng Yaojin for some years. If you think about it carefully, this war horse is over forty years old. Years of love made Cheng Yaojin unwilling to abandon it, so he fed it a lot of good food. p>
Otherwise, even if you live for more than forty years, you will be an old horse. How can you still go to the battlefield?
"My lord, let's retreat into the pass quickly. These beasts...can't be stopped."
"Big-bellied Grasshopper Red" died on the spot, Cheng Yaojin was also seriously injured, and hundreds of iron guards behind him rushed up with a roar.
Looking at the monster beast on the opposite side, the blow just now shocked it quite a bit, causing its blood to boil.
However, this is a monster beast in the middle stage of "Nascent Soul". Regardless of its realm or strength, it is far beyond what Cheng Yaojin can match.
"Withdraw to the pass, the 'Eight Ox Crossbow' is waiting for you——"
There are a total of 80,000 Tang troops stationed here, and more than half of them are fighting outside the pass at this time.
How can it be so easy to retreat safely?
The two sides have fought a battle and have become entangled. You have me, and I have you.
Especially the thousands of ferocious beasts on the other side, jumping up and down, running left and right, and even some that could fly into the sky and escape from the ground. Even the dozens of Tang Dynasty soldiers who were injured or killed may not be able to pull a ferocious beast on their back.
"You quickly retreat to the pass, and I, Old Cheng, will come to the rear——"
Since he was no match for that monster, Cheng Yaojin deliberately avoided it and attacked other beasts. In this way, he rescued many entangled Pao Ze.
"Tsk, tsk, do you want to escape? There is no door. Children, go up and tear these weak humans into pieces, and enjoy this feast——"
Cheng Yaojin didn't want to confront the monster head-on, but unfortunately, the other party was unwilling to let him go, and he didn't know what it was about old Cheng that attracted the monster.
Could it be that they both look a little more "evil"?
Such a special battlefield is called one of rapid change. More than 40,000 soldiers of the Tang Army lost more than 20,000 people in less than an hour.
This is because some ferocious beasts, really ferocious beasts, once they are full, they find a place to sleep.
However, there are still more than a hundred ferocious beasts fighting, and those are obviously monsters that have opened up their spiritual wisdom. Most of them are in the "Foundation Building" stage, and there are also a dozen or so in the "Golden Pill" stage.
Just pick one of these ten or so "Golden Elixir" stage ones, and they can compare favorably with Cheng Yaojin.
......
"My lord, please go back quickly. We are the only ones left among the hundreds of Iron Guard brothers——"
At this time, Cheng Yaojin's Xuanhua ax was thrown away. He was holding a horse stick in his hand, his helmet was gone, and his armor was in pieces.
His body was covered in blood, some of which were his own, but more of which were the beasts he had killed.
"No, I, Old Cheng, can't go back. If you guys can see those two boys from my family in the future, be sure to tell them not to come and avenge me, Old Cheng -"
Cheng Yaojin looks like a big and powerful warrior, but he is actually a warrior who is both rough and fine.
The fight lasted less than an hour, but it was the most brutal battle he had fought in the past decades.
There are dead bodies everywhere, and most of them are the bodies of Tang Dynasty soldiers. There are no complete corpses!
The two boys he mentioned were naturally the two who studied arts in the "Prince Jin's Mansion", the eldest son Cheng Chumo and the second son Cheng Chuliang.
These two reckless boys are now in their thirties.
The father and son have not seen each other for a long time, but from the letters from Chang'an, Cheng Yaojin learned that his two sons have now reached the peak of "Golden Elixir" and are much better than his father.
The two boys in the family can follow Jin Wang Li Zhi and be more powerful than his father. What else does Cheng Yaojin not be satisfied with?
Now that he had the thought of death, Cheng Yaojin no longer cherished his physical strength, and kept flying up and down with the horse stick in his hand, killing one beast after another. Qianqianyi哾
He just thought that if he killed one more beast, the soldiers behind him would be less in danger.
As for how many of the 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers left outside Guancheng can eventually return safely, Cheng Yaojin can no longer control it.
"You are really a brave human race. If you are willing to submit your name to Ashina Khan, Lord Lang will not only spare your life, but also guarantee your status in the human race."
Perhaps in the past two years of cooperating with Ashina to kill this wolf-shaped monster, this is the first time he has encountered someone as brave as Cheng Yaojin who is not afraid of death.
Even though the other party killed and injured many ferocious beasts, even monsters, the leading wolf commander actually admired Qi Cheng Yao Jin.
"Bah - you're just a beast with fur and horns. You still want me to surrender as a human race? Even if I die, I will die in an upright manner. The evil beast will take his life -"
Seeing the demon beast leader appearing in front of him again, Cheng Yaojin had no idea of evasion. In order to save more Pao Ze, he had already entered the hinterland of the beast group.
Looking back, I want to see the Datang Pass where I have been stationed for many years... Unfortunately, I can no longer see the shadow.
"Tsk tsk, idiot, since you are seeking death, Lord Wolf will help you -"
The wolf-shaped monster, with a wave of the mace in its hand, Cheng Yaojin's horse flew out of sight.
"Pff_——"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and Cheng Yaojin's consciousness became blurred. As he watched the other party walking over step by step, the giant mace continued to enlarge in Cheng Yaojin's eyes...
"Lao Cheng, you old boy, you can't die like this! Look how I dismembered this broken wolf——"
At this moment, a high-pitched shout rang out, and a person flew over from the direction of Datang Pass.
To be precise, this person came flying with a sword.
Cheng Yaojin was about to die miserably under the monster's mace. Unexpectedly, this man who had been in seclusion for a long time arrived.
……
The person who came here was dressed in a green robe, and his whole person was like an unsheathed sword, with its sharp edge clearly visible.
Cheng Yaojin was unable to answer him, and Huali fell to the ground. However, at the moment when he fell to the ground, he finally saw the appearance of the person coming, and a relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"My lord, Swordsman Xiahou, why are you here?——"
The seven or eight remaining Cheng Mansion Iron Guards were all injured, but they desperately crawled towards Cheng Yaojin who fell to the ground. In the end, they were one step behind the visitor.
"Ahem, what are you yelling at? Old boy Lao Cheng is not really worried."
The person who came was none other than the Xiahou swordsman who had been stalking Yan Chixia for many years.
Later, they met Li Zhi, and both of them were brought back to Chang'an by Li Zhi, and they were even tricked by him into joining the Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, Yan Chixia has become the helmsman of the "Lijing Sect" under Tang Emperor Li Shimin, but Xiahou Swordsman did not stay in Chang'an and was introduced to Northern Xinjiang by Li Zhi.
More than ten years have passed since Xiahou Swordsman stayed in Northern Xinjiang. Although he did not meet Yan Chixia, the two of them still passed on information to each other, and the inner battle still continued.
Xiahou Swordsman's lifelong cultivation lies in the "Devil Sword" in his hand. After more than ten years of hard training, he has not failed him in the end, but has only suffered the Turks in the north.
What he is best at is still the "Sirius Escape", but when he uses it now, it doesn't have that evil aura. This is Yan Chixia's credit.
The two have been entangled for seven years and competed seven times. Although Yan Chixia has the upper hand every time, she also affirms Xiahou Swordsman's persistence from the bottom of her heart.
The two were impressed by Li Zhi at the same time and became good friends. Yan Chixia shared the "Diamond Sutra" she had obtained with Xiahou Swordsman.
Today's Xiahou swordsman, if the "Devil Sword" is used, will be full of violence and decisive killing, but on weekdays he is more calm and humble.
For many years in northern Xinjiang, Xiahou Swordsman enjoyed the offerings from the Tang Dynasty court. He and Cheng Yaojin, who was stationed at the border, had never seen each other before raising their heads and looking down, and they became good friends.
Although the two have different philosophies and even more different personalities, it does not prevent them from being the only two strong men in the Northern Territory of the Tang Dynasty, and they often exchange ideas.
Of course, the result always ends with Cheng Yaojin's defeat, and the Xiahou swordsmen seem to be just warming up.
Today's Cheng Yaojin is only in the middle stage of "Golden Elixir", while Xiahou Swordsman has already reached the late stage of "Transcending Tribulation", so it seems that he is still one step behind Yan Chixia.
"Did you, this wolf monster, come from Beiju Luzhou?"
Beiju Luzhou was naturally familiar to Xiahou Swordsman. Once upon a time, he had thought of going to Beiju Luzhou to make a living.
However, after he met Li Zhi later, he realized that there were too many people who were better than him in this world, so he stayed in Northern Xinjiang with peace of mind.
Xiahou Swordsman's eyes were like swords, and he seemed to see into the heart of the wolf-shaped monster at a glance.
"Tsk, tsk, a human sword cultivator actually came, come on, come on, Master Lang will send you away together——"
A burly man like Cheng Yaojin was knocked to the ground by it. With this "very skinny" swordsman in front of him, Commander Lang naturally wouldn't take it to heart.
But when the two of them reached out to each other, only five of them faced each other, and one-third of the wolf-shaped monster's mace was cut off.
This giant mace was made from the fallen teeth of the wolf commander when he transformed into a human being. It took a lot of effort from the elders of the clan.
Not only does this mace look so terrifying, but it is also Wolf Commander's natural weapon. In this way, one third of it was cut off by Xiahou Swordsman, and Wolf Commander was also severely injured.
"Children, Mr. Wolf rushed up and tore them apart——"
Seeing how powerful this sword cultivator was, Commander Wolf didn't dare to show off. He muttered words and drove thousands of ferocious beasts to charge towards him.
"Huh, looking for death——"
"Sirius Escape——"
Seeing countless ferocious beasts and monsters approaching, the Xiahou swordsman felt inexplicably happy.
The "Devil Sword"'s killing moves came out one after another, and the sword shadows dispersed forward, followed by bursts of blood mist, and countless ferocious beasts and monsters were dismembered by the "Devil Sword".
In the blink of an eye, most of the thousands of beasts were gone.
Later, no matter how the wolf commander drove them, they did not dare to move forward, but scattered one after another.
Faced with the threat of death, these beasts seem to be fearful regardless of whether their spiritual intelligence is activated or not.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than 10,000 Tang army soldiers who were trapped outside the pass evacuated into the pass.
Of course, they naturally escorted their coach back. The pass was densely covered with various defensive equipment and they were ready.
Just now there were only thousands of ferocious beasts and monsters, and a hundred thousand Turkic army was still following behind.
"Bad beast, let's see what other tricks you can pull off today?"
As soon as the Xiahou Swordsman appeared, the offensive and defensive momentum immediately changed. At this time, there were only seven "Golden Core" stage monsters left beside the wolf-shaped monster. As for the other beasts and monsters, they had disappeared. "Really? Hahaha, poor human race, they don't know they are about to die, please invite me, ancestor -"
Suddenly, this wolf-shaped monster cast some secret technique, and the seven "Golden Core" stage monsters beside it exploded and died at the same time.
Seven blood mist rose and condensed into a strange symbol in mid-air.
Xiahou Swordsman did not recognize this symbol, but it did not prevent him from feeling the horror of this mysterious symbol.
"Hmph, what the hell is an evil beast? You actually use your own companions to make blood sacrifices? Do you think you can escape with your life today like this?"
Compared with ordinary people, Xiahou Swordsman was definitely "cruel", but he could not do such a thing as killing Pao Ze.
Those are seven "golden elixir" level monsters. If you say blood sacrifice, then it's just a blood sacrifice?
"Young man, how can you, a junior of the human race, understand the power and glory of our demon clan? Today, my ancestor is out of seclusion, so I will use you to open my business..."
At this moment, an old voice came from the sky, and then, the strange symbols formed by the blood sacrifices of seven "Golden Core" stage monsters rose into the sky.
Xiahou Swordsman felt his eyes go dark, but an old man appeared in front of the wolf-shaped monster, with disheveled hair, black robe covering his body, and holding a staff.
"My grandson welcomes my ancestor——"
The wolf-shaped monster hurriedly knelt down on its knees, touched its head to the ground, and called itself ancestor.
"Hmph, you are a worthless thing. Just for the sake of being a sword cultivator at the stage of 'transcending the tribulation', you have to use the life-saving opportunity that your ancestor gave you?"
Although the old man was scolding the wolf-shaped monster, he didn't blame it. Instead, he seemed to look down on the Xiahou swordsman?
"Old man, are you also with these monsters?"
Xiahou Swordsman looked at the person who came, but he seemed to see a stone statue, eerie and cold.
"Monster? Haha, are you the only one worthy of being called 'monster'? Go to hell——"
There seemed to be no murderous intent in this old man's body, but he suddenly raised his hand, and the staff in his hand rushed directly towards Xiahou Swordsman.
In fact, the Xiahou swordsman has been ready since the old man appeared. Opponents who do not feel murderous intent are often more terrifying.
Unfortunately, when the old man actually took action, Xiahou Swordsman realized that the preparations he had made in advance were so ineffective.
The old man waved his staff, and the Xiahou swordsman seemed to be locked, and even the "Demon Sword" became heavy.
"Boom——"
There was a loud noise, and there was no trace of the Xiahou swordsman in the field anymore.
"My grandson sends my ancestors a respectful greeting -"
"Xiahou Swordsman——"
In the Tang army, there were still several generals leading hundreds of people waiting for the Xiahou swordsman, but they did not expect to see such a desperate scene.
Fortunately, the terrifying old man has also disappeared. It seems that this old man is just a summoned shadow.
Just a shadow, killing the Xiahou swordsman instantly with just a wave of his hand?
These soldiers of the Tang Army hurried back to the pass. While guarding the city defense, they asked for help from Li Ji at another pass in the northern Xinjiang. At the same time, they flew towards Chang'an on flying horses.
……
"So, Chang'an has sent out two waves of reinforcements in succession. Can it still not withstand the Turkic attack in the north?"
Li Zhi learned more about the national fortune Jinlong.
It turned out that even Qin Qiong from Chang'an City, Qin Huaiyu and his son, and Kunzhong of the Cheng family had all been sent to Northern Xinjiang. Because of Xiahou Swordsman, even Yan Chixia, the leader of the "Lijing Sect", also asked Ying to follow.
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, it is indeed as you said, but fortunately General Li Ji also sent reinforcements and defended the pass of the Tang Dynasty in time."
Li Zhi was very puzzled as to why he had not heard any news from his father, Emperor Li Shimin, in the whole matter. All the government orders came from the hands of Prince Li Chengqian.
In the past six months, the Tang Dynasty has not lost even an inch of its territory, but it has sent 300,000 soldiers to northern Xinjiang. How many troops does the Tang Dynasty have in total?
Coupled with the feelings along the way, the border was in danger, the throne was in a trance, and the people's hearts were unstable. If Li Zhi hadn't seen that the golden dragon of national destiny of the Tang Dynasty was still full of vitality, he would have thought that the Tang Dynasty was in danger.
However, even so, Li Zhi still smelled a hint of conspiracy.
