Chapter seven hundred and twelve life and death fight
Hu Xiaotian quickly circulated his true energy in his meridians to dispel the bone-chilling chill in his body. Seeing Gangbala waving his hands wildly, he rushed up and punched this guy in the face. Because of the resistance of the water flow, the force of this punch was natural.
It was much lower than usual, but despite this, Gangbala was hit by his punch and sank into the water. Hu Xiaotian followed up and kicked him again. It would be absolutely merciless to beat a drowned dog. It would be hard to get rid of this monk without giving him a good beating.
hate.
Gangbala's body continued to sink into the water. Hu Xiaotian wanted to continue to follow, but he felt a vibration above his head. When he raised his head, he heard the sound of his beak tapping the ice. It should be that Fei Xiao saw him falling.
He entered the icy lake, so he came to rescue him at all costs. Hu Xiaotian was moved in his heart. He lowered his head and looked for Gangbala again. At this time, this guy had already left his sight. Hu Xiaotian also gave up looking for this.
The monk wanted to continue the pursuit, so he quickly swam upwards and found the ice cave just now. Because of the severe cold weather, the ice cave was already covered with thin ice. Hu Xiaotian broke the thin ice with a punch and crawled on the ground.
On the ice.
Both the flying owl and the snow sculpture have landed on the lake, and the flying owl is pecking the ice hard, trying to find traces of its owner. Xia Changming was the first to spot Hu Xiaotian, he cheered and hurried over.
Hu Xiaotian coughed and said, "I'm fine! Get out of here as soon as possible."
Hu Xiaotian climbed onto Fei Xiao's back, and Fei Xiao was very happy to see his master return safely.
When the group of black-bearded masters detoured to the small lake at the bottom of the cliff, the flying owl and the snow sculpture had already carried their masters to the sky. The black-bearded masters looked at the small lake that was covered with ice and snow. They all looked at each other, who was it?
I don’t know whether Gambala is dead or alive.
Just when everyone was worried, they heard a loud bang! A huge ice block flew up in the distance, and then a naked figure climbed onto the ice from the small lake in embarrassment. It was exactly
Black Hu Guoshi Gangbala was beaten and kicked by Hu Xiaotian in the water, but he did not dare to fight back. For fear of arousing Hu Xiaotian's ferocity and killing him, his fighting power in the water was not even 30% of his usual strength. Really
Fighting with Hu Xiaotian underwater was the only way to death. Fortunately, Hu Xiaotian did not pursue him to the end. Gangbala was not good at water. He could only hold his breath and sink to the bottom of the water. He also found a stone from the bottom of the lake and held the stone step by step.
I groped my way up, but fortunately the lake was not big, and I quickly reached the edge of the lake. Gambala shook the ice with a punch and crawled out from the bottom of the lake, which was like going around the gate of hell.
Everyone gathered around to greet him, but Gambala said nothing. He raised his head and looked at the night sky filled with snow, and the expression on his face was as cold and hard as if he was frozen.
When Gangbala escaped from trouble, Hu Xiaotian was already riding on the flying owl and soaring in the snowy night. He used his internal power to evaporate the clothes on his body, and then he felt a little better. Thinking of the thrilling fight with the monk just now,
I still have lingering fears. Gambala hugged him and fell down the bone-shattering cliff. Gambala probably didn't have the purpose of dying with him, so there was only one reason. Gambala might not have fallen to death even if he fell from the bone-shattering cliff. Hu Xiaotian still
It was the first time he encountered such a powerful opponent in external skills. If Fei Xiao hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, he would have been in a much worse situation. He reached out his hand to touch Fei Xiao's back, and said with emotion: "Brother Xiao, thank you!
"
The flying owl let out a low cry, and its voice became much calmer. It was also slightly injured, but due to its strong nature, it should not be a serious problem.
Xia Changming rode a snow sculpture and kept pace with Hu Xiaotian. He said loudly: "My lord, how do you feel?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Very good!" He felt a pain in his nose as he spoke. He reached out and touched his nose and felt that it was much swollen. He must have been bruised and swollen by the monk's head, and he also had a lot of nosebleeds.
.
Xia Changming asked: "What are our plans?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Now that we are here, let's escort the commander back to Yongdu safely!" Originally, he was going to leave directly after rescuing Yu Chichong, but he changed his mind after meeting Gangbala tonight. This monk's words
Not only was his martial arts weird and powerful, he didn't even get the slightest advantage in fighting him. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if it were someone else? Moreover, these Black Hu men hated Yuchi Chong so much that they probably sneaked into Dayong this time for him.
Yuchi rushed over. If he couldn't protect him, he would kill Yuchichong on the way and send Buddha to the west. For the sake of safety, it was better to protect Yuchichong secretly. What's more, this place is not far from Yongdu, and it is not less than these two days.
time.
The snow has just begun to fall, and a red sun rises over Yongdu. Although this royal funeral is called a state funeral, the ceremony is not solemn. It can be seen that the imperial court deliberately chose to keep a low profile during this funeral, and even stipulated that the common people
Funerals are not allowed along the street. It is said that this is for safety reasons. From this incident, we can see that there is an undercurrent surging under the surface calm of Yongdu.
After the funeral, Li Chenzhou went to visit the eldest princess Xue Lingjun at her residence. Rumors about his relationship with Xue Lingjun were now rampant. However, Li Chenzhou obviously did not take these things to heart and remained the same without any avoidance of suspicion.
Li Chenzhou was extremely calm to the outside world, and he kept saying that those who are innocent should be honest, but in fact, they knew best what the relationship between him and Xue Lingjun was.
Xue Lingjun was dressed in a black robe and a small white flower on her head. There were no other unnecessary accessories, but she showed an unprecedented elegance and cleanliness like hibiscus coming out of clear water. Li Chenzhou entered her tea room, and Xue Lingjun knelt down in front of the tea seat. The water had already boiled.
Okay, she quietly cleaned the tea sets, and placed the crystal-clear jade tea sets on the tea mat in an orderly manner with her bare hands.
Li Chenzhou also took off his boots and snow-white cotton socks and walked onto the warm mat, knelt down opposite Xue Lingjun.
Xue Lingjun walked into the room from him, without looking at him from beginning to end, and said casually: "Have everything been settled?"
Li Chenzhou nodded, looked at Xue Lingjun's hands quietly, and said softly: "To be precise, it should be the end. The Empress Dowager, the late Emperor, and Concubine Shu have all been laid to rest." He picked up the incense cup and sniffed it.
I smelled the aroma of tea, closed my eyes, and the expression on my face seemed a little intoxicated. I have been thinking very hard during this period, and I have been thinking about government affairs every day. I am really too tired, and only at this moment can I feel relaxed physically and mentally.
Xue Lingjun filled the cup with tea, put a cup of tea in front of him with both hands, and said softly: "You have lost a lot of weight."
Li Chenzhou slowly opened his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips: "I'm so busy with everything, I'm so worried!" He didn't deliberately hide anything in front of Xue Lingjun.
Xue Lingjun picked up the tea cup and brought it close to her attractive cherry lips, took a sip and whispered, "What are you worried about?"
Li Chenzhou didn't speak, he just slowly picked up the cup of tea and stared at the emerald green color in the tea cup, his gaze was so profound that it was hard to fathom.
Xue Lingjun said: "Are you worried about the Emperor or Yuchi Chong?"
Li Chenzhou drank the cup of tea in one gulp, as boldly as drinking wine, but still did not make a choice between the two candidates given by Xue Lingjun.
Xue Lingjun filled the tea cup for him again, and then whispered: "My imperial brother?" In fact, she knew from the beginning that what Li Chenzhou was really worried about was Xue Shengjing.
There is no definite sign that he has escaped from Yongdu. If Xue Shengjing is making trouble on his own somewhere in Dayong, Li Chenzhou will be relieved. At least the goal is clear and he does not have to worry about Xue Shengjing secretly causing trouble.
Li Chenzhou whispered: "The calmer it is, the scarier it is. I dare to conclude that he is hiding somewhere in Yongdu and preparing an earth-shattering counterattack."
Xue Lingjun said: "He has always been low-key in his work. He has been operating quietly over the years. My eldest brother has always turned a blind eye to this."
Li Chenzhou said: "The late emperor still underestimated him after all, thinking that King Yan's every move was under his control, but he did not expect that King Yan could still manage such a large power under his supervision."
Xue Lingjun smiled slightly: "Isn't Jubaozhai already under your control? Now that Prince Yan's mansion has been raided by you, what else do you have to be afraid of?"
Li Chenzhou shook his head and sighed: "The calmer it is, the more unusual it is. How come there is no news suddenly?"
Xue Lingjun said: "Why do you have to worry about him? Now that the overall situation of Dayong has been decided, the top priority is to stabilize people's hearts."
Li Chenzhou said: "The best way to stabilize people's hearts is to reduce taxes and lighten taxes. I have already submitted the plan to the emperor."
Xue Lingjun said: "What did he say?"
Li Chenzhou smiled calmly and said: "I haven't expressed my position so far. What the emperor likes to do most now is to delay." Li Chenzhou had some understanding of Xue Daoming's mentality. Xue Daoming was unwilling to become a puppet emperor at the mercy of others, but he did not dare to confront him head-on.
He was in conflict with himself, so he mostly dealt with things passively, which delayed it for a while but not for a lifetime. Li Chenzhou did not think that Xue Daoming had the ability to turn things around, even though Xue Daoming was the most capable among many princes.
He lacked Xue Shengkang's domineering power and vision, and after all, he did not have the ability to become the overlord of a generation.
Xue Lingjun immediately understood what Li Chenzhou meant. He would not tell him this for no reason. It was best to resolve the royal family's affairs by himself. Although Li Chenzhou had great power, it was still inconvenient given his limited status.
He is the best candidate to intervene in the royal family's affairs. Xue Lingjun whispered: "I will go to the emperor to persuade him."
Li Chenzhou's eyes lit up. Xue Lingjun was really smart. She already understood what he meant before he said it. He whispered: "The emperor is not young anymore. He should understand what is important and what is minor."
Xue Lingjun smiled slightly and poured another cup of tea for Li Chenzhou: "Once a person sits in that position, he will not recognize himself. What's more, Daoming has just become the Lord of Dayong, and he still needs a process of adaptation." (Unfinished)
