Shi Qingxuan jumped to the shore like a child and said enthusiastically: "Let's take the land route next. Every time we go out of Sichuan, we take a boat. I'm tired of seeing the scenery on both sides of the river."
Li Yizhi naturally had no objection and said: "That's fine. Let's go into the city and rest for a night before leaving."
When he was three miles away from Yiling City, Li Yizhi saw a huge military camp. The tents in the camp stretched for ten miles and there were many flags.
Shi Qingxuan wondered: "How come so many troops gathered here? Could it be that they want to attack Bashu?"
Although she doesn't care about the general trend of the world, she is not stupid.
This Yiling is the front line for entering Bashu. With so many troops gathered at once, it is natural to attack Bashu.
Li Yizhi nodded and said: "That's right. I entered Shu this time in the hope of persuading Duzunbao to surrender. If they don't surrender, they will have no choice but to send troops to attack."
Shi Qingxuan said oh, she was not interested in military affairs, so she turned to say: "Since we have arrived in Yiling, will you enter Shu with me, or with the army?"
Li Yizhi chuckled and said: "It's great to travel with the United States, but following the army would be too much of a disgrace to the scenery."
Shi Qingxuan laughed playfully, not thinking that there was any other ambiguous meaning in Li Yizhi's words.
In fact, after getting along for the past half month, the two of them are like close friends who have been friends for many years. They can talk heart-to-heart without any other emotions involved.
Li Yizhi and Shi Qingxuan entered the city, found an inn, and asked for two upper rooms.
After lunch, he said: "Qingxuan, I have to go to the military camp for something, so I won't be able to accompany you to visit Yiling in the afternoon."
Shi Qingxuan said: "Well, it doesn't matter, I'll be fine by myself."
…………
The military camp outside the city, in the commander's tent.
Li Yizhi sat in the main seat and listened to Qin Shubao's report: "My lord, according to the news from Jin Yiwei, all parties in Bashu are discussing an alliance with the intention of resisting our entry into Shu. In addition, Li Tang's people have also arrived in Bashu and are lobbying.
All parties took refuge in them.”
Li Yizhi said lightly: "Our actions are so obvious, Li Tang will naturally not sit idly by and ignore us. However, compared to us, they are at a disadvantage, so they don't need to worry too much. Even if the people in Bashu defect to Li Tang, we can do it
Hit it in."
Qin Shubao said in a sonorous voice: "My lord, our army of one hundred thousand is now ready to go to war at any time."
"Okay. I will go to Shu tomorrow. You can obey my orders at any time."
Li Yizhi asked for a lot of information. When he learned that Wang Shichong had surrendered, he was quite surprised.
However, the Turks' support for Li Yuan and Dou Jiande made him secretly angry. Throughout his life, he hated people who colluded with foreigners, and even more hated foreigners' invasion of the south.
Li Yizhi said coldly: "Since the Turks dare to interfere, then we will deal with them all together when the time comes. Also, you Fei Ge sent a letter to Wang Tong, Li Jing and others, asking them to move the capital to Luoyang on a certain day."
Moving the capital to Luoyang not only has military significance, but also has strong political significance.
Because during the Yang Guang period, Luoyang was the actual capital.
Now that the imperial court has returned to Luoyang, it sends a signal to the people of the world that the imperial court will once again conquer all regions and unify the world.
"Yes, Duke."
"By the way, what's the news about Cihang Jingzhai?"
"I will never receive any news about this until now."
Li Yizhi smiled coldly and said: "I knew that these women would definitely go back on their word. After I dominate the world, I will settle the accounts with them."
More than two hours later, Li Yizhi left the military camp and returned to Yiling City.
The next day, he and Shi Qingxuan were on the road again.
Ten days later.
On the outskirts of Chengdu, there is a small house in the woods.
This is the place where Shi Qingxuan lives in seclusion. It has a beautiful environment, natural tranquility, and a large number of maple trees growing around it, as well as clear ponds and streams.
Li Yizhi admired it all the way, and only such a beautiful and tranquil place could give birth to an elf like Shi Qingxuan.
Shi Qingxuan smiled and said: "Okay, I'm home, you can go to Chengdu City. Thank you for escorting me all the way. If you are free in the future, you can come here to see me."
Li Yizhi said: "Yeah. Then I'll leave. When you decide what kind of 'bundle' you want, remember to tell me."
Shi Qingxuan laughed and said: "Don't worry, you can't rely on this 'shu'."
Li Yizhi smiled and was about to turn around and leave.
Suddenly, he felt a ray of life coming from under the ground in front of him. Although it was only fleeting, Li Yizhi did not think it was an illusion.
He tensed up, and just as he was about to take action, the ground suddenly exploded, causing countless pieces of soil to fly.
Among the splashing soil, a sword light cut through the air and headed towards Shi Qingxuan, arriving almost instantly, like a rainbow penetrating the sun, cold and sharp.
Li Yizhi was shocked. He originally thought that this was an assassination targeting him.
Because in this world, I don’t know how many people want him to die, especially the people of Cihang Jingzhai.
But he didn't expect that this assassin was actually here to kill Shi Qingxuan!
Various thoughts flashed through my mind.
Li Yizhi snorted coldly. He looked at the assassin hidden in the mud with indifferent eyes.
Someone actually wanted to kill someone in front of him. It was simply ignorant and fearless.
Li Yizhi swayed and stood in front of Shi Qingxuan, then punched down hard, hitting the tip of the sword.
Zheng!
The long sword clanked violently and bent suddenly, as if it was about to break.
Horror flashed across the assassin's eyes. Not only was he horrified that Li Yizhi's fist could resist weapons, but he was also horrified by the huge and concentrated power coming from the sword, which was like countless steel needles piercing his whole body.
With a pop, the assassin spurted blood, the sword came out of his hand, and he turned around and ran away.
It's just that Li Yizhi was faster. He approached the assassin with a single step, and then touched the opponent's chest with a palm that seemed to be light and airy.
Kaka.
Along with the sound of broken bones, the assassin's chest collapsed, and he flew out, hitting the opposite side of the creek more than ten meters away, making no sound.
Li Yizhi turned around. He saw the panic flashing in Shi Qingxuan's eyes and asked quickly: "Qingxuan, didn't I scare you? I don't know who this assassin is and why he came to assassinate you!"
Shi Qingxuan's face turned slightly pale. She really thought she was going to die.
After a long time, Shi Qingxuan calmed down the panic in her heart. She shook her head and said doubtfully: "I usually live in seclusion here. I basically don't have contact with outsiders, let alone make enemies."
Li Yizhi frowned. He recalled the original work, and suddenly he thought of a person, the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan.
Yang Xuyan is the son of the former crown prince Yang Yong. He was accepted as a disciple by Shi Zhixuan and became the successor of Butian Pavilion.
Yang Xuyan hoped that Shi Zhixuan could reorganize the Demon Sect and help him restore his country.
It's just that Shi Zhixuan had a split personality due to Bi Xiuxin's death and had no intention of caring about him. Therefore, Yang Xuyan hoped to kill Shi Qingxuan to restore Shi Zhixuan to normal.
Because Shi Qingxuan's existence is Shi Zhixuan's only spiritual flaw.
In this way, Yang Xuyan had a reason to assassinate Shi Qingxuan, and with that sharp sword strike earlier, even people in the late Xiantian stage might be killed.
In today's martial arts world, the only person who can develop the art of assassination to such an extent is Yang Xuyan.
Shi Qingxuan looked at Li Yizhi and said curiously: "Have you guessed who it is?"
"This person should be the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan..."
Li Yizhi nodded. He told Shi Qingxuan his previous analysis and finally said: "He is dead now. You don't have to worry about someone doing anything bad to you in the future."
"Yizhi, thank you." Shi Qingxuan thanked him.
Li Yizhi smiled and said: "It's a little effort. I will take away his body later. You go back to the house and have a good night's rest. Tomorrow will be the same as before."
"Um!"
Shi Qingxuan nodded.
After Li Yizhi and Shi Qingxuan said goodbye, they took Yang Xuyan's body and left Youlin Xiaozhu.
In a remote mountain forest, he found a place and buried Yang Xuyan's body.
Li Yizhi clapped his hands, turned around and was about to leave, when he saw a middle-aged man with a stern face standing under the maple tree not far away.
