This banquet was indeed well-prepared for Li Danqing.
Under the hostile gazes of those Youyun soldiers, Li Danqing swaggered into the large tent in the middle of the Youyun military camp.
At this moment, a scent of fragrance came from the shop - a faint smoke filled the tent. Li Danqing took a sniff and smelled the smell, which was the fragrance of fish and dragon.
Taking a closer look at the furnishings in the big tent, the white jade table was filled with silver, silk and porcelain bowls. Each piece was exquisitely made and was obviously made by a master. The dishes served were also delicious in color and exquisitely presented.
Just taking one look at it makes me feel that it is so beautiful.
"I heard that the dignitaries in Wuyang City often rinse their mouths with soup before eating, wipe their hands with silk, and light a cup of this fish and dragon incense before eating."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came. Li Danqing looked up and saw that it was Long Tuo Yan Ya who was sitting high on the head of the tent, looking at him with a smile.
Ran Ling, Ran Ying and Bai Sushui, who was considered an old acquaintance, all sat at the desk on the left. Only Long Tuo Yan Ya had an empty seat on his right.
"I didn't expect that Wang Huyuan knew so much about our Wuyang rules." Li Danqing put away the surprise in his heart and said calmly, and then walked straight to the desk on the right, slowly and slowly
sit down.
The words "Wang Huyuan" made Long Tuo Yanya frown, but he quickly suppressed the strangeness and said with a smile: "Prince Li may not know that Youyun is located in a barren land. From here,
To the north of Yingshui County, past the Langtu Grassland, is the Wanli Glacier. There is only some land that can be cultivated around the seven holy mountains, and these lands are also in the hands of the owners of the seven holy mountains.
It is Youyun's most precious wealth, and it is precisely because of these fertile lands that the seven royal families were born in them."
"People's livelihood is difficult, and many people are precarious. People often hear people who have been to Wuyang talk about the extravagant life of you Wuyang people. They are very envious. When I was young, I was not immune to the vulgarity. I also thought that one day I could live such a life.
.It is a pity that more than ninety years have passed, and it is only with the blessing of the Crown Prince that we can ruthlessly create such a battle and make the Crown Prince laugh."
Hearing this, Li Danqing reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table: "Wang Huyuan doesn't want to tell me that you brought hundreds of thousands of troops to chaos our Yingshui County and destroy my holy mountain for you.
Can the people of Youyun find a place to live?"
At this time, Long Tuo Yan Ya also picked up the wine glass on his desk and saluted Li Danqing: "What? Prince Li doesn't think I have such a heart."
Li Danqing put the wine glass back and said, "It's not that he doesn't look like it, but that he doesn't deserve it."
When these words came out, Bai Sushui and Ran Ling, who were sitting at Li Danqing's countermeasures, immediately showed indignation and stared at Li Danqing angrily.
Faced with such gazes, Li Danqing still looked calm, but Long Tuo Yanya gave the two men a calm look at this moment, then looked at Li Danqing and asked with interest: "Oh
?Then I have to ask the prince for advice, why am I not worthy?"
Li Danqing stretched out his hand and knocked on the desk gently, squinting at Long Tuo Yan Ya: "When I first came to Yingshui County, I met a girl named Yu Jin. I wonder if Wang Huyuan knew about her?
"
Long Tuo Yan Ya's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he shook his head: "I never knew."
"That's right. In the bottom of Wang Huyuan's heart, he only cares about the bright future of the people of Yizhaoyun. Naturally, he has no energy to care about the joys and sorrows of any one of them." Li Danqing smiled mockingly, but then continued.
"This Yujin girl is also a Youyun person who has a difficult life as Wang Huyuan said."
"Being born on the border of Youyun, Yujin has never told me how embarrassing her life is. Her parents are diligent and her life seems to be pretty good. It's a pity that one day a guy who claims to be an angel suddenly broke into her village.
, confused the villagers, and then her family was ruined, and she joined the Palace of Eternal Life in Wanghuyuan. She was driven by others, acted insincerely, could not control her words, and was confused. Finally, she died at the hands of the apostles of the Palace of Eternal Life who were also Nalaoshizi."
"I don't have much experience, and I haven't had the honor to go to Youyun, but I want to ask Wang Huyuan, since you care so much about the livelihood of your people in Youyun, does this Miss Yujin count among those who are cared for by you with compassion?
Where is one of the people of Youyun?"
What Li Danqing said makes sense
He was calm and calm, but there was anger in his eyes, but he suppressed it - Li Danqing was a very vengeful person.
In many things, it is not an exaggeration to say that hatred must be repaid.
He has never forgotten those people who have appeared in his life, even if some are just glanced at, their kindness to him will be unforgettable.
Li Danqing's question caused Long Tuo Yanya to fall into silence for a moment, and then he said: "I was a little surprised when this question came from Crown Prince Li's mouth."
"Prince Li is more forgetful than I expected. Just over a month ago, in order to help the Qingyun Army out of trouble, Crown Prince Li asked a total of five thousand Qingyun troops to stay behind. Those five thousand people must be known to Crown Prince Li better than anyone else.
They are certain to die."
"I thought that Prince Li, who could make such a decision, would understand the trade-off and understand that some small sacrifices are in exchange for the benefit of more people. It is worthwhile and reasonable."
"What? Prince Li can sacrifice his troops to save his chariot, but I, Long Tuo Yan Ya, can't use my small gain to achieve great results?"
Faced with Long Tuo Yan Ya's rhetorical question, Li Danqing didn't show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction or anger on his face. He just shook his head calmly, his expression suddenly dazed, and he said softly at that time: "Those wearing armor are inhuman.
also."
"Huh?" Long Tuo Yan Ya was stunned, a little confused.
…
"Those who wear armor are not human beings."
The man raised his head and looked at the Guo family's uncle and nephew, and spoke softly.
It was already noon, and the three of them encountered the Purple Sword Guards who came to pursue them in the dense forest. The thieves' army was so powerful that the three of them naturally could not make an enemy of them, so they could only hide in all directions. But at this moment, the people from Red Fish City to Gale City were
The road was covered with soldiers and horses from Yingshui County. The three people hiding in the dark saw their companions being surrounded and killed more than once. However, they faced the purple sword guards who were dozens or even a hundred times larger than themselves, but they didn't do anything at all.
Opportunity to lend a hand.
He could only hide all the way, and finally came to a small town called Liujiazhuang.
The three of them took off their bloody clothes and took advantage of the chaos to enter the town. Thinking that the army was outside to surround the people in Gale City at the moment, they wanted to avoid the wind in this town until night before setting out on the road.
"Where did the three of you come from?" the noodle stall owner walked up with a smile and asked as he looked at the group of three people.
A large number of purple sword guards were searching along the way, and various towns began to be under martial law. The small town of Liujiazhuang was sparsely populated, and the entire noodle shop only welcomed Guo Zijin, his uncle, nephew, and three men.
Perhaps out of boredom, or perhaps intimidated by such a battle, the owner of the noodle stall brought three bowls of clear soup noodles to the three of them, and couldn't help but come forward to chat.
However, the three wary men obviously had no intention of accepting the boss's kindness. The man whispered: "I'm just on my way."
The owner of this noodle stall has been doing business in Liujiazhuang for many years. He probably saw that a few people were not interested in talking to him. He smiled knowingly and then retreated.
"Why didn't you save them just now!" Seeing the boss walking away, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Guo Zijin looked at the man and asked angrily.
On the way to this place from the dense forest, the three of them had witnessed several scenes where their companions Zi Daowei had caught and hacked them. Several times, Guo Zijin was a little unable to hold back, especially since some of those companions were former Longshan warriors.
Guo Zijin almost rushed towards him when he was a disciple in the hall, but he was held down by the man every time.
"If you can't save him, you will die if you go." The man said as he lowered his head and ate the noodles in big mouthfuls.
The devouring posture showed no trace of the fact that the other party had just experienced so many dangerous scenes, not to mention that he had witnessed his companions being killed several times.
At least at this moment, the Guo family's uncle and nephew had no appetite at all, even though the bowl of noodle soup in front of them did smell pretty good.
The man's calm attitude somewhat offended Guo Zijin - it had only been less than a day since he was dragged out to fight in a daze last night, but Guo Zijin had already experienced several life-and-death dangers.
No one can remain calm in such a situation, even if he understands that to get here alive, he relies on the protection of a man, but he doesn't understand why the man does this, let alone why he has to go through this!
The anger and confusion, fear and worry in his heart made it difficult for him to stay awake at this time. He asked: "Are you here?"
Who is it? And why are we being chased by the officers and soldiers of Yingshui County! Since the guards of Yingshui County don't care about this matter! Then why are we in danger for this matter!"
"Zi Jin!" Guo Yun on the side frowned when he heard this, and shouted in a low voice to stop Guo Zijin who was losing his temper: "This brother brought us here! It has nothing to do with him if he wants to get angry!"
"But he obviously has the ability to save people!" Although Guo Zijin had always respected his cousin, he was so angry at the moment that he couldn't listen to the other person's objections.
As soon as this question came out, Guo Yun fell silent.
It is indeed not a good feeling to watch one's companions die in front of oneself, and the combat power shown by this mysterious man is indeed strong. If he was willing, at least he would have rescued those people more or less at that time.
The abilities of companions in danger.
"I have never seen him at all! How could he be in the team of our Longshan Martial Arts School? Also! Uncle, didn't you see? When the Purple Sword Guards attacked us in the dense forest, each of us was divided into three people
A group will be led by a new face! The companions who were just killed also have two familiar faces, either from our Longshan Martial Arts School, or those brought by the Jin family, and then they will be followed by someone similar to this guy.
people!"
"I think he is a spy sent by Youyun! He took us to die! Only the people in the county governor's office will hunt and kill us!"
Probably because the anger and fear in his heart completely overwhelmed his reason, Guo Zijin began to speak erratically.
"Zi Jin!" Guo Yun heard the sound and slapped the table, roaring loudly. Guo Zijin, who had never seen his cousin so furious, was stunned, his body trembled slightly, and he finally calmed down.
"This is Liujiazhuang. A hundred miles further south is Dafeng City. Four hundred and eighty miles to the southwest is Yingshui City. What the people in the Sheriff's Mansion want to capture is to escape back to Dafeng City and fight in the corner.
Therefore, the army will set up defenses along the hundred-mile road due south. When you go southwest later, you should not encounter any more pursuers on the road." But at this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded.
The uncle and nephew were stunned and turned to look at the man, only to see that the man was still eating noodles with his head down and did not even look up at the mountain to give them half a glance.
At this time, as if he felt the gazes of the uncle and nephew, the man slowly raised his head, looked at the uncle and nephew, blinked and asked, "What's the matter? When we got to Yingshui City, we still have to go."
We have to go another six hundred miles south to get to Yanma County. Yingshui County is not the place to stay. If you don't have enough food, don't starve to death every time you arrive in Yanma County."
The man's tone was as calm as ever, without the slightest hint of resentment at being questioned or anger at being betrayed, he just calmly stated certain facts.
The man let the uncle and nephew go so easily, which made them a little unbelievable. Guo Zijin frowned again. He stared at the man and asked the question he had asked several times along the way: "You
Who is it? What is the purpose?"
"Just an unknown person." The man's answer was as ambiguous as ever, "As for the purpose... I just want to return to Gale City and defend the city."
"With tens of thousands of purple sword guards, how can Gale City be defended? Why don't you come with us..." Guo Yun on the side said at this time. Although he was somewhat puzzled by some of the man's behaviors, in his heart he felt sorry for the man.
He was truly grateful for his help many times. After experiencing this night of escaping, Guo Yun also realized that there was nothing he could do and wanted to quit. Of course, he couldn't bear to see the man go back and die on his own.
"I walked thousands of miles to get to Yingshui County from the west. There is no reason to escape back again. I won't follow you two. You two should be more careful on the way." The man said with a smile.
He said, then he picked up the porcelain bowl on the table and drank the remaining noodle soup in one big gulp.
Guo Zijin's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He looked at the man in confusion and asked, "If you go back to Da Feng City, wouldn't you just wait to die? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Are you afraid?" the man asked.
"I'm a human! How can people not be afraid of death!" Guo Zijin was a little confused.
The man stretched out his hand to wipe the soup from the corner of his mouth, burped from his throat, then stared at the Guo family uncle and nephew in front of him, reached out and touched the armor on his clothes that did not exist, but seemed to exist. He smiled.
