"The bones are unique, the dragon walks like a tiger, the face is extraordinary, and the general is a star. He is dressed in military uniform, with a rainbow of momentum. He is young and promising, and has the spirit to fight in all directions!"
This man was like a twilight drum in the setting sun, sitting on the rocks by the stream and slowly knocking out some words. Yuhui Zhaoying was in a trance, and it seemed that even though he was sitting there, his figure gave people a particularly tall feeling.
At first glance, the Buddha's light and Dharma are numerous, and it seems to make people feel worshipped.
Although his words reached everyone's ears clearly, he kept lowering his head and gently washing his feet, as if he didn't see everyone at all.
At this time, he didn't even look at He Xiaoyao and his group. He must have observed everyone from the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. For experts, even with a quick glance, they can clearly see everything around them.
As if sensing that everyone was approaching, he continued to ask quietly: "Your Excellency, you are He Xiaoyao, the commander-in-chief of Lingnan who just occupied Yongzhou City!" Although he did not raise his head, he was obviously speaking to He Xiaoyao.
He Xiaoyao did not move anymore, standing on the stone no more than ten feet away. Hearing the man's words, the surprise in He Xiaoyao's eyes turned into calmness. Not only did the other party come prepared, but he also obviously knew himself better.
When he came here, Mr. Guiyuan said that there might be a storm in Yongzhou City in the next two days. He Xiaoyao didn't care at first, because fighting was not a problem for He Xiaoyao. When he was a child, he followed his father as a pirate, then finally followed Shao Tingyuan, and now he is commanding an army, all of which have experienced real bloody battles and experience.
But now it seems that I may have misunderstood. Regarding what Mr. Guiyuan said, it is not only the battle between the armies of the feudal town, but also the hidden fighting among the rivers and lakes. For an army, especially the army of the Five Dynasties era, most of them were convinced by their own generals and did not know the importance of the country and the emperor. If a general dies, the army is dispersed.
If He Xiaoyao was not under Liu Jixing, he would not have seen the way this army fought and the way this army was directed. So if he is assassinated, the Yongzhou City that he just occupied may change hands.
Seeing this quiet and contented man, He Xiaoyao suddenly understood that what Mr. Guiyuan said was that people from the world would appear, and now it seemed that these people were all masters. This man belongs to this kind of person, and he is a particularly dangerous group of people.
A person who cannot see danger is often the most terrifying person in the world. Because no one knows, if such people suddenly attack, who will take precautions?
Although He Xiaoyao was surprised, he was not afraid. His beliefs were changing because there were many secret parties around him. It is normal for generals to return to their bodies wrapped in horse leather and die on the battlefield. What's more, he has no regrets now, because Chen Jiuniang is already pregnant with his child.
There has always been an unwritten rule in the arena, that is, the swordsmen and knights cannot appear openly in the battles between various vassals and forces.
Because they are a group of people who are inherently different from ordinary people. If they take sides or support, it will inevitably lead to the participation of many cultivators in the world.
That is completely unfair to ordinary people. Although the world has never been fair, the way of heaven is sometimes so strange.
It seems unfair, but sometimes he just gives a glimmer of hope. Sometimes in troubled times, the intervention of cultivators and rangers can cause the situation to temporarily deviate from the track, but in the end, there is always retribution. So if these people appear and participate, it will not be a simple chaotic world.
Therefore, even though people like Zhenren Shi obviously support Liu Jixing, he will not stand up openly because they understand better that the laws of heaven cannot be violated. Even with the power and influence around him, he would only protect Liu Jixing secretly, or use his influence to help Liu Jixing without leaving any trace.
Although he still doesn't know who the man in front of him is, He Xiaoyao believes that as the commander of this army, he must be the most conspicuous person in Yongzhou City. If he wanted to deal with him, it would be someone sent by Zhang Wenbiao or Zhou Xingfeng.
But He Xiaoyao also believed that the aura and aloofness of the man in front of him could not be manipulated by a warlord like Zhang Wenbiao or even Zhou Xingfeng, and of course it could not be completely ruled out.
The biggest difference between cultivators and rangers is that rangers are a type of people who do whatever they want. Compared to rangers, although cultivators also act willfully, they are pure and inactive, and they are more disdainful of worldly things. Gu.
Just like Sun Yuangui, Mr. Guiyuan in his army, he is a master who has lived in seclusion for many years in the world, and is also a master among the cultivators of Shangqing. He has his own nobility and persistence. Even if Liu Jixing went to invite him, he would not necessarily show off his face, because in his eyes, the emperor of a separate country was no different from an ordinary person.
But he could look at Yang Jiong and Shi Wu's face and actually come to help him. In fact, He Xiaoyao understood better that Mr. Guiyuan was by his side more to protect himself. And I keep on enlightening myself and learning things from him.
When he first came here, it was because He Xiaoyao was inexplicably concerned about Qin Zhuang, whom he had just met in Yongzhou City. Although he was busy conquering Yongzhou City, when everything was basically settled, He Xiaoyao still thought of Qin Zhuang, so he naturally sent people to pay attention to Qin Zhuang's whereabouts.
The secret party's intelligence spying and investigation of the surrounding environment are indeed beyond the comprehension of people of this era. In less than a day, He Xiaoyao knew that Qin Zhuang lived in a courtyard in the suburbs. Although no one was asked to monitor him, he still ordered people to observe carefully.
After receiving the news, Qin Zhuang and a group of people actually set out today. After getting the accurate whereabouts and movements, He Xiaoyao immediately made arrangements for Yongzhou City and decided to come there himself. See if you can help Qin Zhuang, or see what actions they take.
Speaking of which, He Xiaoyao is naturally not just paying attention, because the actions and whereabouts of Qin Zhuang, a master, will have an impact on the surrounding rivers and lakes, and will obviously affect Yongzhou City just after the war.
Although he was very close to Qin Zhuang, He Xiaoyao knew his responsibilities and burdens even more, because the consolidation and stability of the entire Yongzhou City was the most important factor for Lingnan to invade Chu. He Xiaoyao has great expectations for Liu Jixing's great trust, as well as the harmonious republican society, and wants to fight for it.
He Xiaoyao must nip all possible damages and uncertainties in the cradle. Paying attention to Qinzhuang is not only a concern for friends, but also an understanding of all the possibilities in the undercurrent of Yongzhou City.
Mr. Guiyuan seemed to have sensed something a long time ago. Just after they left the city gate together, he went in another direction alone. Before leaving, he told He Xiaoyao to pay attention to safety and to seek help at any time if there were any problems.
Although He Xiaoyao didn't realize that deeply, but seeing that Mr. Guiyuan said he was going to the place from the other side, he vaguely knew what would happen. But He Xiaoyao naturally didn't know that Mr. Guiyuan sensed Feng Biwei again. Mr. Guiyuan was naturally deeply touched by this master who had been reclusive for many years.
Fairy Yaochi of the Xiaoyao sect, who was in the spotlight for a while, had been practicing in seclusion for decades, and suddenly came out to travel around the rivers and lakes, and appeared in the Xiangshui River in this Chu land. Naturally, it was not accidental. Just like Mr. Guiyuan himself, his disciples have been famous in the world for decades, and he really never thought that he would be out of the world again.
Masters who have reached this level are born with a keen perception of things. That kind of wonderful feeling is naturally not something He Xiaoyao can experience. But He Xiaoyao also knows how to be cautious. After many battles, he has been tempered.
Qu Weishang stood half a step behind him. The round stone was suitable for charging. This calm and cool young man is now one of He Xiaoyao's most capable assistants. Moreover, he was also a top student who graduated from Dongguan Military Academy in Prince Xing's Mansion. He was a trusted member of the secret party and was specially sent by Liu Jixing to help He Xiaoyao.
He Xiaoyao led his army into Chu, and was fully assisted by Qu Weishang all the way. Whether it was marching and fighting, or setting up formations to propose strategies, Qu Weishang was an extraordinary talent. He is one of the ten elite disciples of the Qu family, and belongs to the Qu family of Quye, the king of Jiaozhou in Xingwangfu.
Although he is not a direct descendant of the Qu family, and is even a concubine among the collateral descendants, his excellent Qu family kung fu has been cultivated by the Qu family. Later, he learned the art of war and became good at mountain warfare, which King Jiaozhou was most proud of back then. Of course, the main reason why he was able to stand out from so many Qu family disciples was because of the promotion of Xianning Hou Quju.
Quju became successful in Liu Sheng's later period, and the Qu family also paid attention to him, and would ask him to participate in all family affairs. After Liu Jixing ascended the throne, he took charge of the green camp and training successively. Not only did he send Qu Weishang to the military academy, but he also imposed strict requirements on Qu Weishang.
However, in terms of promotion, Quju has always adhered to the principle of strict self-discipline, and even has a tendency to be harsh. Because he deeply knows the history of great achievements and shocking masters, no matter how successful he is and can guide many disciples of the Qu family, he will go the extra mile to let them prove themselves. Instead of being like that in the end, both prosper and lose.
Although Liu Jixing admired Qu Weishang very much, he originally wanted to use him as his commander all the way to Chu, because Qu Weshang performed extremely well in the military academy. But after Qu Ju heard that He Xiaoyao was going to be the main force on the road, he took the initiative to go to the palace to ask for an order, and asked Liu Jixing to arrange Qu Weishang under He Xiaoyao, and he only acted as a small pioneer on the road.
Qu Weishang had no objection at all, because he was a smart man and knew that Qu Yu was for his own good. Not only did he accept it happily, but he also lived up to expectations. He bravely moved forward through all the obstacles and is now one of He Xiaoyao's most capable assistants.
This time he took the initiative and contacted the famous Yinjiabao in the Chu region. With the support of Yinjiabao, he successfully captured Lingling City.
Although, many colleagues and classmates from the military academy later criticized and criticized him for flooding Lingling City and causing the death of a large number of civilians. But everyone understood the significance of this incident, so Yongzhou City was flooded again.
Being able to capture Lingling City would be a huge and crucial help in capturing Yongzhou City and opening up the waterway from Lingnan to Chudi. He Xiaoyao didn't think so much and extinguished some people's ulterior motives. Since ancient times, one general has achieved great success. In every battle and occupation of territory, there is no such thing as death.
Ordinary people born in troubled times must have this consciousness and consciousness.
Liu Jixing once said: "Xing, the people are suffering!" Death, the people suffer! Now it has become the driving force for Lingnan soldiers to charge into battle. For the sake of home and the future, who doesn’t want to win a peaceful world!
Therefore, He Xiaoyao is looking forward to the prosperous age mentioned by Liu Jixing. For this idea and future, He Xiaoyao is willing to follow Liu Jixing and move forward.
On this road of struggle, we naturally need many friends with ideals. Qu Weishang is obviously this kind of person, with ideals, drive, brains and direction, and he is loyal to Emperor Liu Jixing.
If He Xiaoyao takes action, Qu Weishang will definitely follow.
Neither of them expected that one of the two famous general combinations in later generations would have begun to take shape today. Perhaps no one thought that one day these two people would become famous all over the world and become famous and peerless generals.
The two people looked at the man by the stream. The man was sitting there quietly, and actually looked at He Xiaoyao. He slowly raised his head and looked at the two people with a smile in his eyes. They were a pair of magical eyes, black and white, bright and clear, and the deep eyes were like a bottomless abyss, deeply attracting two people.
But when the two people saw the man clearly, the expressions on their faces slowly became serious, but they were shocked and speechless.
He Xiaoyao's hand holding the black crocodile knife couldn't help but tighten, and his body couldn't help but stand in the best posture. This is a habit that he has developed through many years of experience. Under any unknown situation, he can use the strongest attack power. .
Qu Weishang looked at He Xiaoyao's silent gesture and naturally reacted. During this period of time, the two of them cooperated in all aspects, and he had obviously gotten to know He Xiaoyao better. It was obvious that the man in front of him was a dangerous person, and a particularly dangerous person. He also held the zanma sword tightly with both hands.
Having experienced many battles, you will naturally have a keen sense of danger!
What made both of them feel the danger! And it's an unknown danger.
A flower!
A flower in the man's hand!
A flower made both of them feel great danger!
Because at this moment, in this man's hand, he actually held a small wild flower. It's just a newly broken wild flower, golden and pink, a bit delicate, a flower that blooms just right.
And this wild flower was clearly on a clump of wild flowers in front of the two people, only four feet away. This bunch of wild flowers grows in the crevices of the rocks beside the stream. Because they are pink and golden, they are particularly beautiful and conspicuous.
The golden little wild flowers are like the scent left by the setting sun!
After the huge flood, a clump of wild flowers growing in the crevices of the creek not only was not washed away, but became even more colorful shortly after the flood. Looking at this bush of wild flowers, I really need to feel the magic of life.
After the flood, the rocks in the creek became more abrupt and ferocious. Coupled with the broken branches and leaves after the impact on both sides, the road looked desolate.
Originally, only this golden wild flower was the most conspicuous and beautiful, but the rest of the flowers were still in bud, or had half-opened stamens. Although they had some color, they were not as beautiful and conspicuous as this flower.
At this moment, there is only a green bare stem on the bare twigs. At the pinch of the bare stem, you can see a trace of stem pulp coming out.
That little flower is now in this man's hand!
When he saw that He Xiaoyao didn't answer, he looked at the little flower quietly, and from time to time looked at He Xiaoyao and Qu Weishang with a smile. He sat there leisurely, as if he had never moved.
However, the tension between the two people came from this flower.
Because the two of them had just discovered that the flower was still on the branch before taking a breath, but now it was in his hand. And on the stone next to this bush of wild flowers, there were actually a few drops of water, making the dry stone appear more obvious.
Both of them were feeling cold!
The other party remained calm and picked the flower in front of the two people, but they didn't even feel it!
What kind of cultivation is this?
If the other party wants to take his life, he really has no power to fight back.
He Xiaoyao has been in constant contact with countless masters in the world, and his vision is naturally much higher than others. Although there was no fight, He Xiaoyao already felt that this man's skills were unfathomable. At the lowest level, they are all experts of Mr. Guiyuan's level. Compared with the peerless masters of the practical school like Yang Jiong and Shi Wu, he doesn't feel weak at all.
He Xiaoyao felt slightly nervous. He was indeed nervous. But when he saw the flower quietly, He Xiaoyao suddenly realized something in his heart.
With such a high level of cultivation on the other side, it would obviously be effortless to deal with him. Why didn't the other party take action? It was obvious that he was not here to attack and kill his group. Thinking of this, He Xiaoyao felt certain in his heart and his breath became quiet again.
This man seemed to be keenly aware of the changes in He Xiaoyao's heart, and his eyes were actually a little surprised. Seeing He Xiaoyao's changes, the smile in the corner of his eyes became more obvious.
"The boy is He Xiaoyao. I wonder who the master is! The boy is ignorant by nature. Although he led his people to occupy Yongzhou City with a moment of bravery, he is not worth mentioning in front of the master!" He Xiaoyao! There was a certain certainty in my heart, and I became more confident when I remembered what he had said about me.
I thought that although the other party didn't know the purpose of coming, but with the other party's cultivation level, no matter what his purpose was, it might be a good opportunity for him to learn. I can't help but not only speaking politely, but also putting myself very low. Seeing that the other person was not much older than him, He Xiaoyao knew that the other person was an ancient cultivator just by looking at his aura.
Holding the flower, the man with long hair hanging casually behind his back had a somewhat strange demeanor, and his slender phoenix eyes even made him look a bit stunning.
He doesn't even look like He Xiaoyao. He Xiaoyao started growing a slight beard on his chin after Chen Jiuniang followed him. This man has a smooth and white complexion, and his skin is as good as that of a young woman. He looks to be in his thirties, but his deep and charming eyes make him look worldly.
Even He Xiaoyao and Qu Weishang were very wary of him. Seeing his somewhat leisurely and somewhat comfortable expression, they felt an inexplicable admiration and relaxation.
"I haven't used my name for so many years that a certain family has almost forgotten it!" Hearing He Xiaoyao's words, he seemed a little sad, and his expression seemed to be reminiscing about something! However, he immediately came back to his senses, looked over and said, "It's quite touching if you mention it. Let's call him Mr. Su!" The man smiled, and his friendly and natural smile made people feel comfortable.
"Mr., a worldly master, I don't know what advice you can give me!" He Xiaoyao became more and more respectful, with the knife in his hand facing down. This was a sign of respect for the master. Regardless of whether it is an enemy or not, the identity of the other party will not make a sneak attack on you.
"You are the current boss of Yongzhou City! You still have the most say near Yongzhou City. A certain family came here because of something, and it was inconvenient for me to come forward. I think it can be done with your help, I don't know if you Are you willing or not?" Mr. Su looked at He Xiaoyao quietly, his tone was flat and not at all strong.
He Xiaoyao also looked at Mr. Su quietly. There was no trace of anything strange on the other man's face. He couldn't help but bow his hands and salute: "Sir, I don't dare to refuse! This guy is not talented, but he is responsible for the safety of the whole city. What's more, Your Majesty’s orders are with you! I hope you will forgive me, sir!”
Mr. Su remained unchanged and gently washed his feet in the water. His eyes were still looking at He Xiaoyao, as if expecting He Xiaoyao to continue talking.
"However, if the entrustment of sir is within the boy's ability, it does not violate humanity and conscience, and it does not affect the boy's responsibility, senior said it doesn't matter, the boy will go through fire and water!" He Xiaoyao couldn't help but look up to Mr. Su, respectfully Be respectful and neither humble nor arrogant.
Mr. Su actually nodded, with some appreciation in his eyes. Xin Chang's right hand actually brushed the long hair beside his ear, and said elegantly: "You do have some ideas! But don't worry, it's just a trivial matter. How could a certain family embarrass you juniors? After the matter is completed, a certain family will also It pays off!”
He looked here quietly.
"Sir, it doesn't matter what you say. If you can do whatever you can, you will go through fire and water!" He Xiaoyao said sincerely.
Mr. Su nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then said calmly: "Not far ahead, there is a junior member of a certain family who is looking for something to heal his wounds. It happens that a certain family also needs this item to be useful, but this junior member of a certain family has a bad temper. It’s weird, it’s not easy for a certain family to come forward and ask for it, so I want you to ask for the rest of their materials on behalf of a certain family, I wonder if you can agree!”
He Xiaoyao was shocked, but his face did not change. He said respectfully: "But I am disrespectful. It turns out that the gentleman is Brother Qin's elder. The boy and Brother Qin met a few days ago and they are quite close. But according to Brother Qin, he I have needed this substance to treat hidden illnesses for many years. I wonder if the materials required by Mr. Qin will affect the amount required for Brother Qin’s healing!”
"Oh! It's fate!" Mr. Su's expression was still natural, "Of course it won't affect him, not to mention whether he can succeed now is still unknown, because there are many people here. You guys try your best to help him! I'll wait for you. information!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of evening wind blew.
When everyone looked at it, the figure was dim, as if he had never appeared.
Looking at the stone by the stream, everyone felt as if they were in a dream, with the evening breeze blowing and the sun setting.
