Wang Daoping was a little surprised and scratched his head. "How did you know he was surrounded by soldiers? Is it because you killed him?"
Several people were shocked again.
What? With his level of cultivation, he could actually kill such a master known as an illusionist? It’s really puzzling.
"The one who killed a senior was not me. But I have fought with him, and I couldn't beat him. As for why he knew he was an illusion master, he admitted it himself. As for whether it was true or not, I dare not draw a conclusion. "
Wang Daoping said. "I see,"
The man looked at it a few more times and nodded. "It's indeed Shadow's soldier. I've seen his portrait in the letter. I'm just curious, why did he kill you?"
Li Yi smiled and said. "Speaking of which, I don't know, but I've met a lot of people since I started going north. At first, there were six-star Duan Chengxuan, ten-star Xia Chun Dao, and a guy who always wore a bamboo hat with a knife on his face. Scar, I don’t know how many stars there are in the shadow. Later, there were seven-star soldiers surrounding me, and four-star and five-star Yang Yun and Yang Fei.”
Wang Daoping put his hands on his hips and said matter-of-factly. "This guy is unlucky. According to him, starting from the north of Quling City, there was constant bloodshed along the way. To be honest, he and I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes."
"Wait, Qu Lingcheng?" The two siblings were stunned and immediately interrupted Wang Daoping's words. They all looked at Li Yi.
the man asked. "You said you are from Quling City?"
Wang Daoping didn't understand why the brother and sister were surprised, but he seemed to be aware of something unusual and asked. "Boy, is there something wrong?"
"No, keep talking." the girl said.
"This guy is hiding very deep. Everyone who wants to kill him never leaves the word "Mr." and seems to need something from him. But I have searched and found nothing about this guy. He is just a pauper. I don’t know if Shadow is crazy. I must give him a gentleman’s hat.”
The child heard this and looked at the man.
The man sighed, bowed to Li Yi and Wang Daoping, and spoke with a wry smile. "I'm ashamed that I let you two block the knife."
"Block the knife?" Wang Daoping and Li Yi looked suspicious. They didn't understand why this well-behaved man had to salute them two so grandly and said they were ashamed.
Speaking of which, he was older than the two of them. If they met each other on weekdays, he would probably call him brother, but why did he suddenly pay such a courtesy to the two of them?
The man smiled bitterly. "The general used my name to clear the way, and those people kept an eye on you two, so I could have smooth sailing. In general, those people came to kill me, and you two blocked the knife for me. I am from Quling City, It just so happens that the little brother is from Quling City, if the general confuses the shadows in advance, I will be safe."
Song Yanxi, who had been watching the conversation between several people before, suddenly asked out of curiosity. "Are you him?"
"I forgot to introduce you just now. I'm in Xiqulingcheng, the Jiang family, Jiang Ren."
The veiled woman also cupped her hands and said. "Jiang Yu."
The little boy followed closely behind. "Jiang Xiaoya."
Song Yanxi looked at Jiang Ren introduced by Zuo Yi and said with some excitement. "I didn't expect it was sir. This time, my father asked me to escort him all the way north. I was still confused as to where he was! I didn't expect that we were going the same way."
"Is she Miss Song?"
"Yes! I'm Song Yanxi."
"The elders in my family often mention me, saying that I am a rare and amazing talent. My analysis on the battlefield can always be predicted in advance. Speaking of which, many of the Chu army's great victories were due to my efforts to turn the tide. Song Yanxi is the same. I really like Sir’s art of war, but I don’t understand it.”
"It's all just tricks. Western Chu is really lucky to have generals and northern soldiers. I'm just a little person who only knows how to play tricks. In fact, I'm not as smart as the girl said."
"Sir, you are going north in person. Could it be that the current situation has reached the best time?"
"Yeah! Indeed, but I'm waiting for someone."
"one person?"
"Yes, a senior."
The girl smiled knowingly. "Song Yanxi also went north to join the army. He knows very little about military art. I'm afraid he will be in trouble for you in the future."
"It doesn't matter."
Wang Daoping ignored the conversation between Song Yanxi and Jiang Ren. Instead, he was so angry that he almost bit his back teeth because of Jiang Ren's words.
He broke free from Li Yi's hand, walked over and punched Jiang Ren. His mouth is also vicious and unforgiving. "It turns out that you bastard almost killed me and Li Yi."
But when he was about to fight with Jiang Yu, Li Yi grabbed him again and stood in front of him.
He shook his head and then came to his senses.
That's all, it's not bad to learn Fu Zhu, there are many adults.
He smiled bitterly, shrugged, and bowed again. "I'm just being impulsive. Don't take it to heart, sir. However, sir is an amazing talent, so we can't put the two of us in danger again, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control my emotions again."
Li Yi smiled and said. "Although my friend has a bad temper, he is good at heart. Sir, please don't take it personally."
Jiang Ren shook his head and said. "If he complained about me, I would feel better. If he didn't complain, I would feel a little sorry."
Wang Daoping waved his hand as if he heard the conversation between the two. "Sir, don't worry about me. I was just impulsive. I, Wang Daoping, am not unreasonable. Li Yi said before that he wanted to save the world. Sir, he can stop Xi Chu from attacking and block the sword for him. I think it is for him." Justice sheds blood and tears.”
Li Yi shook his head, feeling for the first time that Wang Daoping was not a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs.
Li Yi said. "Now that your identity has been revealed, sir, I'm afraid the shadows will come towards you next. Even if we have a large group of people, there's no chance that there will be people from the shadows among us."
Jiang Ren nodded, looked at Song Yanxi and said. "These people are all selected from the Song family, and are they all going to go north to join the army?"
"Yeah! But most of the time it was my father who picked him out to protect my husband, even the army."
"Can they follow your orders?"
"I have a token in hand. They have to listen even if they don't listen."
"Since the army listens to the girl, then I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the girl."
"As long as sir opens his mouth, Yan Xi can do it without any delay."
The road that had been crushed by Sikong Zhuoyun's aura was finally paved at noon under the scorching sun, and a group of people returned to the team and continued heading north.
Jiang Ren wrote a note in the carriage, put it in a bamboo tube and handed it to Jiang Xiaoya, and said. "Give this to Miss Song and ask her to find a way to send it to the north."
"Okay." Jiang Xiaoya took it and exited the carriage.
Jiang Xiaoya ran back quickly and stood outside the carriage and said. "Sir, the letter has been sent."
"Okay! Go and guard outside. Call me if you need anything."
As he said that, he took out a map from the box and looked at it.
Jiang Xiaoya responded, sat outside the carriage and drove.
Song Yanxi had just released the carrier pigeon when Wang Daoping came over with his horse.
She looked at Wang Daoping, but Wang Daoping was smiling, as if he had eaten several jars of honey, with a malicious look on his face.
She didn't know if Wang Daoping was suffering from a serious illness such as epilepsy, so she rolled her eyes and looked forward.
Wang Daoping put his hands behind his head and said. "Song Yanxi, that's a good name."
"Wang Daoping, this name is really ugly. Who picked it? Didn't they think about it at the time?"
"You don't understand this! I have mediocre qualifications and mediocre skills. This is the origin of my name. It is said that it was the name given by a big shot back then! Guess who it is?"
"I don't want to guess."
Wang Daoping was so proud that he picked up a stone with his golden sword, held it in his hand, and threw it to the roadside, causing a puff of smoke to hit the ground. "If I say that Xi Chu Sword Immortal, would you believe it?"
"Do not believe."
"It's really boring! You don't cooperate either."
Song Yanxi rolled her eyes and said. "I heard from Li Yi that you are greedy for money and lustful. This time, you are not going to the Taiping ruins for the legendary evil power of harvesting yin and replenishing yang, right?"
"Hey! It's true that you are greedy for money, but don't blame me for being lustful."
"Since ancient times, heroes have had trouble with beauty! Men are all lustful."
Wang Daoping was too lazy to pay attention to her words and stuck out his tongue to play. "I am an upright person, and I have sworn to save the common people. How could I be fascinated by this little beauty? Song Yanxi, you underestimate me."
Song Yanxi rolled her eyes. "There has been a lot of news about the Taiping Ruins recently. Except for us, everyone else has gone to the Taiping Ruins. You can imagine how much influence the Taiping Sword Immortal had back then. It's just a pity!"
"Then why don't you go? Take a look at the place where the immortal fell, and leave a memory so that you can talk about your great achievements with your descendants in the future."
"I don't want to go. It's not worth traveling all the way for a broken sword."
Wang Daoping curled his lips and asked suddenly. "Song Yanxi, are you really from the Song Garden, the Song family in the desert?"
"That's right, the Song family in the desert."
"Master, is he really your third uncle?"
"Absolutely true."
"I see. No wonder you, a vicious witch, didn't kill me."
"Just have fun secretly! My third uncle didn't want to teach me the worldly marksmanship, but you learned it from me. If I don't become a spear master in the future, my third uncle will be angry to death."
Wang Daoping smiled politely. "Song Yanxi, has Master contacted you?"
"No, he disappeared for five or six years! He never came back. Many people said he was dead, but aren't you standing here? What! Could it be that your worldly shooting skills are fake?"
Wang Daoping looked at Song Yanxi's face with determination, and it was difficult to break her illusion, so he could only laugh to cover up the past.
"That's natural. Master is a Spear Immortal. If he hadn't been young back then, how could he have lost to that Sanren Liu Yanchang."
"I just don't know when he came home. Actually, I miss him quite a bit." Song Yanxi said.
Wang Daoping looked at her, her eyes shining.
Wang Daoping didn't want to make her sad, so he fumbled for a long time, and finally took out a bag of beef jerky from his sleeve and handed it over. "If you're not happy, eat some of this. I stole it from Li Yi. Be careful not to let him see it."
Before she agreed, Wang Daoping had already put the beef jerky in her hand and led the horse away.
Deep in the northern jungle, some of Shadow's remnants of combat are stationed here.
The leader was He Guyan, who had just been defeated not long ago.
However, at this time, He Gu Yanzheng and his military subordinates were discussing the current situation in the tent, and the quarrel was in full swing.
I hate Jiang Ren who was born not long ago and has an astonishing talent.
However, just as he was about to get angry after drinking a glass of wine, a soldier rushed in from outside and knelt down to report. "General, we have military information."
He Guyan, who was sitting in the main seat and wearing silver armor, stood up, took the note presented by his subordinate, opened it, and his face suddenly became excited.
"The path crosses the cliff valley. The general will meet you, Jiang Ren."
He Guyan murmured to himself, put the letter under the light and burned it to ashes, then looked at the kneeling soldiers and asked. "Can the news leak out?"
"The first military intelligence information has never been leaked."
"Okay, seal off this area and never let go of a fly. This time, Jiang Ren is going to be trapped under the Hengya Valley. Make arrangements to attack the Hengya Valley starting from tomorrow and guard against death."
"I'll wait and follow the general's orders." Deputy Li Wenxiu responded with clasped fists and walked out.
Everyone agreed and went about their business.
In the evening, another soldier sent a letter with the same words as before.
He Guyan was sitting in the tent and laughing loudly. "Hahahaha... Jiang Ren would never have thought that the letter he sent to the north would be intercepted by me. This time he will be unable to fly."
He Guyan took out the sword from his waist, looked at it under the oil lamp of the tent, and smiled coldly. "Jiang Ren, we will meet soon. You must not die first. I want you to die without a burial to avenge General Cao."
The next morning, He Guyan just walked out of the tent and happened to bump into Li Wenxiu walking over.
Li Wenxiu seemed very anxious as if something happened.
He Guyan looked at him and said. "What happened?"
"No, intelligence came from the south, come here and let the general make a decision."
He Guyan looked at Li Wenxiu, took the note from Li Wenxiu's hand, and opened it.
I saw it written above. "With less than a hundred people, this is the best time for the general to make a contribution, Duan Chengxuan."
There are not many words, but it still clearly explains the general situation of Jiang Ren and others.
He Guyan tore the note into pieces and threw it aside, laughing. "No one who God wants to die will live long."
The two people walked towards the military camp, and everyone behind them packed their tents. Half an hour later, He Guyan hurried south with a team of more than 400 people.
On the way, he received two more letters from Jiang Ren. He was originally relatively happy, but his heart began to become complicated, because the content of the letters was no different from the first one he received.
Li Yi and his group arrived at the foot of a mountain called Wushan and stopped.
We ate some dry food next to a well with water, and took turns going to the well to fetch water to replenish it.
Li Yi sat next to Jiang Yu under a cool tree. He ate a piece of dry food himself and passed a piece to Jiang Yu.
He took out the dagger from his waist, whittled a wooden stick into the shape of a long sword and inserted it into the sheath.
Jiang Yu had taken off his veil yesterday and now showed his true colors.
It was quite a sensation at the time, and it was really because of its good looks that it left a big impact on everyone.
"Thank you." Jiang Yu took Li Yi's dry food.
Li Yi held the hilt of his sword and sat under the tree, leaning against it and closing his eyes.
Jiang Yu looked at Li Yi and said. "Have you investigated me?"
"No, there is no need to investigate."
This is the truth. After all, he has met her and listened to her music in Quling City. There is no need to investigate.
If she didn't know him, they should be considered acquaintances.
"Have we met before?"
Li Yi turned to look at her and, for some unknown reason, shook his head. "No."
He handed a water bag to Jiang Yu. "Seeing as you don't have a water bag with you, I'll give it to you. Don't worry, this is something I prepared before, but it's actually not much."
"this!"
"I have a wine flask, and Wang Daoping also has one, which can be filled with water." Li Yi smiled and looked at the wine flask hanging on his waist, which made him look like a wine master, and smiled.
Jiang Yu smiled, took the water bag from his hand, looked at the sword at his waist, and said. "Wooden sword?"
"The one before was broken. Just defend yourself. A wooden sword is better than nothing."
"No wonder you want to go to the Taiping Ruins for that sword?"
"Yeah!" Li Yi nodded.
"I heard that you came from the north and went all the way south. After you arrived at Quling City, you never went south again. Why? Why did you suddenly go north? You have been traveling for two years, experienced life and death, seen the suffering in the world, and want to change?"
Li Yi opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu seriously, as if he saw another version of himself in her eyes. He stood in the blue sky, smiling meticulously, as if there was no sadness.
A scream came from Wang Daoping over there, interrupting him.
He gave a wry smile. "Look at my strength, I can't even save myself, let alone the whole world."
He stood up, shrugged, turned and walked towards Wang Daoping.
Wherever he looked, Wang Daoping was being grabbed by Song Yanxi's ears and jumping up and down.
He smiled and said to Jiang Yu. "Going further north, dangers may come one after another. Be careful!"
Jiang Yu stood under the tree, but felt a little bit more heartbroken than he could say.
She held the reins with one hand and clenched the sword with the other, but turned to look at Li Yi's back. Like her, Li Yi was dressed in inconspicuous black.
When she looked at him just now, she seemed to feel his inner struggle and helplessness.
No wonder Wang Daoping said yesterday that he is a quiet person who cares about the world.
