"You two are waiting here, the general will be here soon!" The soldier took the two of them to an empty room. Said to the two of them.
"Good work!"
"Who are you! How dare you break into the military camp without permission! What crime should you be punished for!" As soon as the man finished speaking, all the soldiers surrounded the two of them.
"General, wait a minute!" Zhao Yunxi looked at the person coming and said beforehand: "The two of us just informed each other by letter. After notifying the general, we got the permission, and then we were brought here. If there is no permission from the general, Why are we waiting here! Could it be that the general wants to be a man who breaks his word? Besides, I have heard people say that the general is not a bad person. Could it be that he is exaggerating and our ignorant people believe the nonsense of the street boy? ? Or are you not the general that everyone praises?"
The reason why Zhao Yunxi took the lead was because he had seen the general in Yuzhou City once, who was astride a horse and delivered orders.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" After hearing what he said, Long Zhan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a sharp tooth and sharp mouth!"
"I have met you once!" Long Zhan walked to Zhao Yunxi, then looked at Cai Ming and said, "Who are you?"
"My Excellency, Cai Ming, is an old friend of Brother Zhao. It was my unintentional mistake. Please forgive me, General!" Cai Ming apologized to him.
"Are you talking about this poem?" Long Zhan took out the paper and showed it in front of the two of them.
"Brother Cai, this is what you call a letter!"
"Actually, since you entered Fenglai Pavilion, the general has allowed us to come here! Because~~~"
"Because the person behind Fenglai Pavilion has wanted to see me for a long time. I'm right! The master of Fenglai Pavilion - General Long!" After hearing this, Zhao Yunxi obviously understood everything.
"Hahaha——!" Long Zhan waved his hand, and all the soldiers retreated.
"I didn't expect you two to know everything. It seems that I saw the right person!" Long Zhan glanced at the two of them, walked up to Zhao Yunxi, and said, "I have heard everything about you. , I just didn’t expect that you would encounter so many twists and turns in recent days.”
"The general already knows about us?"
"Years ago, do you still remember the Yangzhou Du Fu?" Long Zhan looked at the two people in front of him, as if he was going back to those days.
The two thought about it carefully, and then they remembered everything from the beginning.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. You two are no longer the same as before."
"General, what you said is serious!" Cai Ming was grateful and paid homage to him: "The general has good intentions and gave me this wonderful book, which is why I have achieved today's achievements. If the general does not dislike it, from now on, the two of us are willing to follow the general and repay him. Please pay filial piety and make an immortal contribution!"
"No!" Long Zhan helped the two of them up and said, "You two have more important things to do!"
"Eradicate the demon sect! Get rid of this harm to the world of martial arts! I, Long Zhan, am extremely grateful!"
"How could the general know? Could it be~~~" Cai Ming looked at Long Zhan and predicted something terrible.
Upon hearing this, Long Zhan briefly explained what happened in the past few days to the two of them.
It turned out that after Long Zhan entered the capital that day, Yang Fan was ordered by the king to secretly capture Lu Heng, and he actually revealed from his mouth the real culprit behind the theft of silver in the capital that night. What makes the atmosphere even more exciting is that Cao Yanqing is a member of the Demon Sect. He has been secretly lurking around the king for many years, but the king has great trust in him and never doubts him. Later, Cao Yanqing secretly colluded with the Japanese and staged a night-time theft of silver from the palace. And the silver has already been transferred secretly. He pointed the main case at the Demon Gate, so he was captured by the Demon Gate Ghost Mother and killed him.
But with the cooperation of Yang Fan and Long Zhan, the corpses that had lost their blood were gradually investigated. But they found that those people were all under the illusion, and their throats were sealed by a thin line. And all the blood was extracted from the whole body in an instant, which shows that the murderer's methods are not ordinary people's, but he has something to do with the magic sect. However, according to the findings at the scene, a Japanese woman did appear that night. The two returned to the prison to question Lu Heng again, but they did not expect that Lu Heng had been dead for a long time. And no fatal injuries were found on his body, which made Long Zhan have to suspect that the case was not as simple as it seemed.
The only thing Long Zhan could think of was that although the woman at night wore Japanese clothes, she was actually a member of the Demon Sect. The purpose of doing this is to point the object of suspicion at the Japanese. When the court launches an attack on the Japanese, the Demon Sect can reap the benefits. Na Lu Heng's sudden departure made Long Zhan even more convinced of his own ideas. It can be seen that people from the Demon Sect have already infiltrated the court situation. The seriousness of the matter is absolutely immeasurable, so the ins and outs of the matter were secretly stated to the emperor one by one.
When the emperor heard this, he was furious! Therefore, Long Zhan was sent to build Fenglai Pavilion secretly to prepare for emergencies. Firstly, you can find out the situation in the martial arts world, and secondly, you can use this as a base to lure out the demon sect and catch them all in one fell swoop!
"I didn't expect them to be so scary!" The two were shocked when they heard this.
For this reason, Zhao Yunxi also thought of everything.
"Thinking about this series of cases, they all seem to have a common goal." Cai Ming and Long Zhan both turned their attention to Zhao Yunxi.
"I must have left Xuanzhen Sect as part of their plan! Because since then, too many things have happened to me, and even the only person I was closest to died tragically in Yuzhou City. And what makes me most incredible is It was Luoshuang, whom I had never met before, who actually attacked me. Fortunately, Ling'er blocked the palm for me. Otherwise, I might have died on the spot."
"Ling'er?" The two of them were a little surprised.
"Oh, he's a friend I just met not long ago." Zhao Yunxi introduced to the two of them.
"A friend you just met is willing to sacrifice his life for you? It seems that this Ling'er is not simple?" Long Zhan thought.
"The general misunderstood, she is a virgin——"
"Oh! That's it! It seems that I really worry too much!" Long Zhan knew the meaning when he saw this and said with a smile.
"I didn't expect Brother Zhao to have such an opportunity. I'm a little envious!" Cai Ming shook his fan slightly and joked: "With a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for!"
"That's not right!" Long Zhan interrupted the two of them, looked at Zhao Yunxi, and said, "That Luoshuang is a member of the Demon Sect, why did she want to take your life!"
"Because I found that the case in the village had something to do with her. It was only normal that she came to kill me." Zhao Yunxi explained.
"I think this matter is not that simple!" Long Zhan added to the two of them: "If my guess is correct, there may be some oversights on our part."
"But why did they frame you everywhere, but only Luoshuang killed you? Is it possible that the success is just because you are a descendant of the Mingyue Sect?" Cai Ming didn't quite understand, and just looked at Zhao Yunxi blankly.
"I guess they want to use your hands to find the treasure, and then steal it to expand their power and seize the world!" Looking at the crowd, Long Zhan said without any concealment: "The Pearl."
"Could it be that the Pearl does exist?" Cai Ming looked confused.
"When my parents died because of the Pearl, they learned about my life experience. They planned secretly at all costs for the Pearl, because they knew. My father died tragically, and the secret would definitely fall into the hands of my mother, and I But it happened to be the baby who survived that year. They used the death of my adoptive parents to let me get closer to the truth step by step and know my life experience, and then used my revenge to put me into a desperate situation! The reason why they are eager to kill me now is I’m afraid he’s just too eager for success and has become angry out of embarrassment.”
Long Zhan continued: "So, they really put a lot of effort into it!"
"Everything has passed. The most urgent thing now is to prepare for a rainy day. Only by giving them a heavy blow when they least expect it can we have room to breathe!" Cai Ming said.
"I have a heartfelt request. I wonder if the general can agree?" Zhao Yunxi said it to Long Zhan after hesitating for a while.
"What's the matter?"
"Ask the general for a Longquan Sword." Zhao Yunxi said simply.
"Longquan Sword!" Long Zhan was not surprised because he already knew about it before.
"That's right, it's the Longquan Sword. I've always heard that the Longquan Sword has the power to enchant demons. With it, it will be easier to do some things." Zhao Yunxi said in a confident tone.
"The Longquan Sword is indeed with me. It's just that this sword has been buried in the dust for a long time. It may not be easy to take out the Longquan Sword. It depends on whether this sword is destined to you. If it doesn't recognize you as its master, it will try every means , I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it." Long Zhan explained to the two of them.
"Whether this sword recognizes me as its owner or not, I still want to give it a try!" Zhao Yunxi said firmly.
"Okay, since you have such a will, we will accompany you on this journey!" Long Zhan said generously.
By the way, the place where Long Zhan hides his sword is also very mysterious.
Outside the cave, it was heavily guarded and the scale was extremely large.
Inside the cave, there is a clear water pool. And the Longquan sword was clamped on the stone under the clear water pool.
Through the clear water, the bright white light shines like a clear spring, and like a bright moon reflected in the water. The cave became extra bright because of this.
"Brother Zhao, go and get the sword. We'll show it to you here." Cai Ming and others inspected the surrounding area.
Not daring to neglect, before Zhao Yunxi started, there was an explosion from the lake.
"Bang——!"
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the water in the pool began to disperse in large volumes. Water splashed and splashed down on the crowd. At this time, the upper body of Longquan Sword was exposed out of the water. Covered in cold air, the thick sword looked different. I don't understand, but a sense of domineering overflows across the entire cave.
However, right next to the sword stood a man in black. He was holding a flame in one hand and facing the people in front of him, looking very strange.
"No! Leave quickly!"
However, Zhao Yunxi did not leave. He could see clearly that these people had purposefully destroyed the Longquan Sword, and their purpose was not to let them get the Longquan Sword.
There was an explosion, and in the midst of the fire, fragments of stone and slag mixed with water spray flew away. The entire cave began to shake, and rocks flew everywhere.
He was a little disappointed at first, but after the explosion, he saw hope again. The Longquan Sword actually stood in front of him intact. But around the sword were some bloody stumps and broken arms.
The toughness of Longquan Sword is unbreakable, something no one could have expected.
Time was running out, and he couldn't afford to hesitate. He stepped forward and used all his strength to pull out the sword from the crack in the stone. In the cave, the flying rocks were even more severe. But a faint air shield formed around him, wrapping him in it, and all the stones falling around him were smashed into powder. And he was protected within it safely. He was focused on burying himself with the sword. Due to despair, he closed his eyes tightly and did not feel the changes around him. He just held the sword tightly in his arms and huddled in one place.
Wait until everything subsides and becomes quiet. Only then did he become aware of the changes around him.
It's just that the entrance to the cave is sealed and there is no way to escape. And he finally pinned his hope on the Longquan Sword in his hand.
But Cai Ming outside the cave was so anxious that he cursed the dead thief a thousand times, but this still did not understand the anger in his heart. He began to blame himself, but thanks to Long Zhan's temporary persuasion, he stopped and tried to save others.
Under Long Zhan's order, everyone came to remove the stones outside the cave door.
"Longquan, Longquan, whether you and I can leave here safely, everything depends on you." Zhao Yunxi gently stroked the sword body with one hand and looked at the Longquan sword in his hand with a hint of hope.
He exerted all his strength, and all his energy seemed to form a rapid flow, flowing towards the Longquan Sword in his hand. He looked up at the blocked hole in front of him, and the Longquan Sword in his right hand turned around, and the tip of the sword pointing straight at the hole was flowing. Exhale a stream of air.
A hole was finally torn open between the lightning and flint, and a ray of light shot in from outside the cave entrance.
The trembling sound just now also attracted the attention of Cai Ming and others outside the cave, and they even sped up to clean the stones outside the cave.
After a lot of trouble, everyone finally saw Zhao Yunxi, but Zhao Yunxi's safety aroused everyone's curiosity.
Seeing Zhao Yunxi safe and sound with the Longquan Sword in his hand, Long Zhan looked relieved.
"It seems that this sword has already recognized you as its master. You must take good care of him in the future!" Long Zhan reminded Zhao Yunxi.
"Zhao Yunxi will definitely fulfill his mission and take good care of him!"
But at this moment, the Longquan in Zhao Yunxi's hand kept shaking, and the sword was filled with black gas, which gradually swept away until the black gas spread along Zhao Yunxi's hand and spread all over his body.
[Questions: 1. Long Zhan analyzed that the Japanese woman was a member of the Demon Sect, and her purpose was to mislead the court so that she could reap the benefits. Is his analysis correct? Why?
2. Why does the Longquan Sword have black gas on its blade? Is Zhao Yunxi in danger? 】
