It's a cold night and the wind is biting.
Li Ziye stood in front of everyone holding a fish intestine sword, half of his body covered in blood, so dazzling.
On the ground, Ao Qiong was already breathing too much and not taking in enough air. His chest was cut open by a sharp sword, and the skin and flesh were torn open, with white bones looming, and blood gushing out, dyeing the earth beneath him red.
Lord Helian and the Helian warriors behind him looked at the scene in front of them, both angry and shocked.
They were angry that the people in front of them dared to kill members of the Helian tribe in front of them. They were shocked that this young man could be so cruel and ruthless at such a young age.
"presumptuous!"
After Lord Helian came to his senses, he said angrily, "Although Ao Qiong was wrong, his crime will not lead to death. You, a young man, are so cruel at such a young age. Today, I will definitely discipline the disciples for the Confucian sect." , come here, arrest him for me!"
"yes!"
Behind, a Helian warrior heard the words and immediately stepped forward quickly.
"Father!"
When Helian Lanruo saw this, his expression changed and he shouted urgently, "No!"
Next to them, Bai Wangyu and Wen Xiuru didn't say anything. They all stepped forward and stood behind Li Ziye, with their swords three inches out of their sheaths, expressing their attitude with a murderous aura.
Life cannot happen at the same time; death cannot happen at the same time.
"Your Majesty, you have to think clearly."
Li Ziye looked at this tense scene without any panic and said with a smile, "So many people witnessed it with their own eyes today. Ao Qiong almost killed us and Princess Lanruo. If we hadn't sacrificed our lives to protect you, I'm afraid I would never see you again." Princess, do you think that the life of Princess Lanruo is not as important as that of Ao Qiong? One day, after today's incident is spread, how will the people in the world talk about the great king, shielding sinners, and repaying kindness with hatred? "
When Lord Helian heard the words of the young man in front of him, his expression suddenly became very ugly.
"Maharaja."
On the side, the old man from the clan who had tested the poison before stepped forward and whispered, "What this young man said is not unreasonable. We cannot treat the princess's benefactors like this. After all, they saved Princess Lanruo's life. If word spreads, the world will know Those who ridicule our people for not knowing right from wrong and repaying kindness with evil."
Hearing this, Lord Helian clenched his fists tightly and gradually regained his senses. He then suppressed the anger in his heart and signaled the surrounding Helian warriors to retreat.
Bai Wangyu and Wen Xiuru saw this and put away their swords one after another.
"Your Majesty, you are wise." Li Ziye said with a smile.
"drive!"
At this moment, in the distance, the sound of galloping horses hooves was heard, and three teachers and disciples from the Confucian sect, headed by Fa Ru, rushed over.
Seeing that Li Ziye and the others had not returned for a long time, Fa Ru led his people to follow the horseshoe marks left by the Helian tribe and arrived here.
In front of everyone, Faru got off his horse and looked at the scene in front of him. Without any nonsense, he walked directly to the three people and asked concernedly, "Are you okay?"
"Something's wrong."
Li Ziye looked at Little Red Riding Hood's arm and said, "He was plotted by a despicable villain and encountered a pack of wolves. In order to save the princess, Lao Bai was bitten. I don't know if this arm can be saved."
When Fa Ru heard this, his expression suddenly darkened and he said, "Who plotted against you?"
"he!"
Li Ziye grinned, pointed at the dead Ao Qiong on the ground, and said, "He has confessed, so I gave him a ride."
Fa Ru looked at Ao Qiong who was on the ground with his chest torn open. He quickly understood what was going on, and without asking any more questions, he nodded and said, "Well done. Let's take Wangyu back to recuperate first."
"Then let's go, Master, I'll leave this place to you."
Li Ziye smiled, turned around and helped Little Red Riding Hood, preparing to mount the horse and leave.
"Brother Li, I can do it on my own." Bai Wangyu said softly.
"Hey, don't be brave, your arm will be useless." Li Ziye said seriously.
On the side, Wen Xiuru also understood and stepped forward to help the senior brother and echoed, "Senior brother, you are seriously injured, so don't say more, let's go."
Bai Wangyu nodded and got on the horse with the help of the two people.
Li Ziye and Wen Xiuru looked at each other, mounted their horses one after another, and left together.
In full view of everyone, the three people left without anyone daring to stop them.
After Faru saw the three people getting on their horses and leaving, he immediately looked at Lord Helian in front of him and said calmly, "My Lord, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Behind them, the faces of Chen Qiaoer, Li Qingshan, and Yao Guihai also turned cold, and their eyes were like lightning. Do the people who bully their Confucian sect really think that there is no one in their Confucian sect?
Seeing the aggressive attitude of Fa Ru in front of him, Lord Helian felt anger rising in his heart. However, this matter was originally a fault of his Helian clan, and he was really angry beyond words.
"Faru, what happened today is indeed due to our Helian clan's negligence. However, now that Ao Qiong has paid for his crime with his life, how about settling this matter?" Behind Lord Helian, the old man from the clan who had tested the poison before said, said.
Faru sneered and said, "Ao Qiong's death is what he deserved. However, my Confucian disciple risked his life to protect Princess Lanruo. His arm was injured and it is unknown whether it will recover. How can we just settle this matter?"
Just when Faru and the Helian tribe were arguing again, in the distant wilderness, after Li Ziye and the others rode out five miles away, Bai Wangyu finally couldn't help it and asked, "Brother Li, my injuries are not serious. It's just some superficial injuries, why are they said to be so serious and make the master and teachers worried?"
"You don't understand this."
Li Ziye smiled and said as he hurried on, "The master and the teachers know your strength better than I do. They can definitely guess whether your injury is serious or not. However, what happened today is not just for us. The grudge between you and Ao Qiong is a contest between the Confucian clan and the Helian clan. Of course, I will make your injury more serious to give Fa Ru a chance to use the topic to your advantage."
"Brother Li is still smart."
Wen Xiuru gave him a flattery at the right time and said with a smile.
"Low-key, but that old man Faru is really nice. Just now, I thought he was going to criticize me, haha."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "When I saw him walking towards me, I was actually quite nervous."
"The Master of Dharma and Confucianism always protects his shortcomings."
Wen Xiuru smiled and said, "Besides, we are indeed justified in this matter. How can the Master blame Brother Li?"
"It makes sense, tell me, will they fight?"
Li Ziye asked calmly.
"probably not."
Wen Xiuru shook his head and said, "We are all smart people, and now there is a need for cooperation, so we will not make things irreversible. Of course, senior brother's injury cannot be in vain. Since Faru came forward, the president of the Helian tribe Some compensation needs to be given.”
"It's good to have a backer."
Li Ziye looked at Little Red Riding Hood and said with envy, "Old Bai, I'm jealous of you."
Bai Wangyu looked helpless and said, "Brother Li, if the Plum Blossom Sword Immortal hears this, it's not very good."
"Ah."
Li Ziye shut up immediately. He forgot that he also had a backer.
Speaking of which, after being out for so long, he missed the fairy master a little.
"I don't like Mobei."
Li Ziye looked at the desolate grassland and said something that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"Then complete the mission as soon as possible and go back together."
Bai Wangyu said softly.
"That's fine, the Helian clan can't stay here any longer anyway."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "Just in case, I will advise the old man tomorrow to leave as soon as possible and continue heading north."
"Um."
Bai Wangyu responded softly.
As the three of them talked, they got closer and closer to the Helian tribe.
In front of the Helian clan, the Confucian disciples who were left waiting saw the three figures in the distance and hurried forward to greet them.
"Senior Brother, you are back. The master and the three teachers have led people to find you. Have you met them?" Among the disciples, Chang Yu took a step forward and said.
"Meet you."
Bai Wangyu nodded and said, "Master Zhang, let us take a step forward. They should be back soon."
"Elder brother, are you injured?"
The sharp-eyed Confucian disciple saw the injury on Bai Wangyu's arm at a glance and said anxiously.
After everyone heard this, they immediately looked over with anxious expressions on their faces.
Seeing this, Li Ziye looked at Wen Xiuru next to him and said with an unhappy expression, "Xiuru, am I very transparent? Could it be that these guys can't see that I'm covered in blood and look much worse than their senior brother?" Yet?"
Wen Xiuru chuckled and said, "Maybe."
"Junior brothers, don't worry, I'm fine, just a minor injury."
Bai Wangyu looked at the concerned expressions of the junior disciples in front of him, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he comforted.
"Eldest brother, it's okay."
When the Confucian disciples heard this, they felt a little relieved.
"Jiaoxi Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you covered in blood?"
At this time, Chang Yu noticed something strange about Li Ziye beside him and asked curiously.
"Haha, it's the one who kills people."
Li Ziye responded calmly.
Chang Yu and others looked startled. Kill someone? Who to kill?
Li Ziye ignored the group of big pig hooves and walked towards his felt tent with an unhappy look on his face.
These Confucian disciples are not cute at all!
Behind him, Wen Xiuru immediately stepped up to follow him, with a smile on his face. He would never be bored for a moment by Brother Li's side.
"I'll go back and change my clothes first. When Fa Ru and the teachers come back, you can go back and rest early."
Bai Wangyu warned and quickly followed.
Under the felt tent, the three of them took off their blood-stained clothes and lay side by side on the bed, looking at the roof of the tent. After running around for a day, they finally took a rest.
"Brother Li, thank you very much." After a while, Bai Wangyu spoke first and said softly.
"Thank you for what?"
Li Ziye said casually, "We are all brothers who slept together."
Bai Wangyu, "..."
Wen Xiuru, "..."
In a good atmosphere, Li Ziye felt nothing at all with just one word.
"Brother Li really deserves the most credit for what happened today. Otherwise, senior brother would have suffered such a dumb loss and watched Ao Qiong go free." Wen Xiuru said truthfully.
"Little things."
Li Ziye responded, "I was already unhappy with that kid. If Lord Helian hadn't been there, I would have kept my word and chopped him up alive."
"That's enough."
Wen Xiuru smiled and said, "By the way, the dagger that Brother Li used at that time was the fish intestine sword, right?"
"this one?"
Li Ziye took out the Fish Gut Sword with a swish sound, made two gestures, and said.
On both sides, Bai Wangyu and Wen Xiuru saw the dagger that the former had pulled out from nowhere. It was so bright and scary that they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
Does this kid carry this fish intestine sword while sleeping?
The Fish Gut Sword is famous all over the world for its sharpness. Isn't this guy afraid of punching a hole in his body if he turns over?
"Brother Li, put it away. It's a small place here, don't hurt yourself."
Wen Xiuru said with a cold sweat, he couldn't trust this unreliable guy, he was hurting himself, and he and his senior brother were hurt, where could they go to reason?
"What are you afraid of? I sleep with it in my arms every day."
Li Ziye gestured twice more, then put it away and said, "This Fish Intestine Sword was originally used to bribe Lao Qin to become her master. Later, when Lao Qin went to the Confucian School to ask for medicine, he used the Fish Intestine Sword. After I left it in the Li Mansion, I took it to the capital. Anyway, Master Fairy didn't ask for it, so I kept it with me for self-defense. If anyone got upset, I'd give him a knife. Not to mention, this thing is really real. It's sharp, and it felt great when I poked that Ao Qiong today."
Bai Wangyu and Wen Xiuru couldn't help but break out in cold sweat after listening to the former's words.
I'm so lucky that they are friends with this guy. Otherwise, he would have been stabbed by this fish intestine sword, and a hole would have been left even if he didn't die.
While the three of them were chatting, outside, Faru, Lord Helian and others also came back one after another. The atmosphere seemed ordinary, neither happy nor tense.
In short, in two words, it's okay.
"Where is your senior brother?"
Fa Ru looked at the Confucian disciples who were still waiting outside and asked.
"It's time to go back to your account and rest."
Chang Yu replied.
"Well, that's good. You should rest early and prepare to set off tomorrow to continue heading north."
Faru said something and immediately stepped back to his felt tent.
The next day, at dawn, the Confucian disciples got up and gathered to prepare to leave.
"Fa Ru, are you leaving in such a hurry? Why don't you stay a few more days?" Lord Helian walked over quickly and said coyly.
"The war in the north is urgent and cannot be delayed any longer. Thank you so much for your hospitality during these two days," Fa Ru said calmly.
The two old guys were pretending to be cowardly. Not far away, Helian Lanruo looked at the young man in white robes in front of him, tears looming in his eyes, and said, "Mr. Bai, can't we really stay for a few more days?"
Bai Wangyu shook his head slightly and said, "Princess, please forgive me, I have a mission and must leave."
"But the injury on your arm hasn't healed yet!" Helian Lanruo said anxiously.
"We can only recover from our injuries while traveling. Moreover, the Master of Confucianism said that the Tantai tribe has a magical medicine for treating trauma. It just so happens that we have to pass there as well." Bai Wangyu responded.
"Tantai tribe?"
When Helian Lanruo heard the word "Tantai", his expression suddenly became unpleasant.
Her Helian tribe has always been at odds with the neighboring Tantai tribe to the north.
Especially after the woman from the Tantai tribe came to power, the Tantai tribe's foreign policies became more and more tough, and the friction between the two tribes increased.
"People from the Confucian sect should be coming, right?"
To the north, from the Tantai tribe, a woman wearing a blue fur robe and unusually beautiful eyes stood quietly in front of the tent, looking south, and said softly.
"I heard that they have already set off."
Behind him, a young general nodded in response.
"Get ready to welcome guests. We can't let distinguished guests from far away say that we Tantai people don't understand etiquette."
Tantai Jingyue said calmly.
"yes!"
The young general accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.
"Confucianism."
In front of the tent, Tantai Jingyue murmured softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
The Confucian leader was indeed powerful. He first asked the disciples of the Confucian sect to go north to help the Eight Tribes of Mobei resist the monsters. While giving Mobei hope, he also gave up the idea of the Eight Tribes of Mobei going south.
However, the eight tribes from Mobei are heading south, and even the Confucian leader cannot stop them.
However, before that, she didn't mind dealing with people from the Confucian sect first.
Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle!
