"Master Yi, you are well." The old Nanhuai King and Yi Xiaodao met outside Hangzhou. Li Yaoyang took the lead in showing goodwill to his father and said hello.
The old King of Nanhuai and Yi Xiaodao set off at the same time. Su City and Yicheng were not too far from Hangzhou, and they arrived outside the city almost at the same time. After exchanging news, Yi Xiaodao, Master Guo, Xu Hong and others met with the old Nanhuai King, Li Yaoyang and Li Dingxing in the north of Hangzhou.
Yi Xiaodao bowed on his horse: "Your Majesty, the eldest son, the second son."
Only then did the old Nanhuai King speak up, ignoring the rest of the people around Yi Xiaodao, and said: "Master Yi is really the pillar of the country, but he has made great achievements in resolving the dispute between Yicheng and Jiacheng in just a few days. It is really gratifying. Congratulations."
Xu Hong rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He was the one who started the dispute between Yicheng and Jiacheng. The old Nanhuai King tried to mediate but failed to give him any face. Naturally, people will not take him seriously now.
With a smile on his face, Yi Xiaodao replied politely: "It's all thanks to His Majesty's great blessings, and it's also thanks to the prince's great deal with me. Yi is just running around running errands, and there is no credit for it."
The old Nanhuai King nodded, taking credit but not being arrogant. Such young people are rare.
Yi Xiaodao asked: "I wonder why the prince sent troops to Hangzhou? Is there anything important?"
When the old Nanhuai King heard Yi Xiaodao ask this question, he couldn't answer it himself. Li Dingxing pulled Li Yaoyang's robe, and Li Yaoyang said quickly: "Master Yi doesn't know something. The annual tribute was sent out during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's me." The Nanhuai Prince's Mansion worked hard to make preparations, but they were robbed on the way..."
"Is this a wealthy family in Hangzhou?" Yi Xiaodao immediately guessed the reason.
"Yes, my father was ordered to guard Nanhuai, but a wealthy family here actually dared to kidnap Sui Gong. Naturally, we have to eliminate this harm for the imperial court!" Li Yaoyang replied.
"I wonder why Master Yi... integrated the troops from the two cities and came to Hangzhou... Could it be that Master Yi has got the news a long time ago?" Li Dingxing knew that his eldest brother was honest and honest, and was afraid that he would make mistakes if he said more, so he changed the topic.
Yi Xiaodao tightened his grip on the horse's reins and said with a smile on his face, "I would like to help the prince."
"But Mr. Yi came out earlier than us..."
"By the way, eldest son, how about asking the eldest son when you left Su City? Where is Fang Long now?" Yi Xiaodao interrupted Li Dingxing's questioning and asked about Fang Long's whereabouts.
Li Yaoyang's face stiffened, he lowered his head slightly, and replied: "Master Yi...Brother Fang's whereabouts...are still unknown. He must be no longer in Su City..."
Yi Xiaodao chuckled: "Oh, that's it. It turns out that the power of King Nanhuai is so great in Su City..." Yi Xiaodao's words seemed to be compliments, but in fact they were sarcastic. The majestic King of Nanhuai I couldn't find anyone, so now I can only talk in Suzhou City.
When everyone on both sides heard Yi Xiaodao's words, their expressions suddenly changed: Xu Hong, Master Guo and others were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe, while the Nanhuai King and his son were slightly blushing, whether from shame or anger.
Yi Xiaodao was not afraid at all. He was reasonable and promised well when he left. But now after so many days, he said he couldn't find it. At the beginning, he deliberately ridiculed himself for being "embarrassing". What's wrong with ridiculing him now?
This was Yi Xiaodao who had "unjustly accused" someone. Li Yaoyang was already very arrogant. At the beginning, he just told the truth without any intention of ridicule. If Li Dingxing had been present, this misunderstanding would never have occurred. Now that Yi Xiaodao was "rude", the three kings of Nanhuai were helpless.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the old Nanhuai King. Although he was angry, he had no choice but to do anything. He held his hands in front of the three people and turned around to leave.
The old King of Nanhuai said: "Master Yi, please don't be impatient when it comes to finding people. The most urgent task right now is the gang in Hangzhou. Tomorrow we can send out troops together to attack from all sides. Hangzhou will not be broken in a day!"
Yi Xiaodao didn't respond. He turned around and wanted to leave. He didn't know if he heard him.
Master Xu Hongguo quickly handed over to the old Nanhuai King: "Your Majesty has your destiny, how dare you disobey it? Just don't worry!"
The people in Jiacheng were originally Xu Hong's family members and obeyed Xu Hong's orders. Magistrate Ding was the magistrate of Yicheng County after all. They did not follow them this time, but sent Master Guo. Although all the troops in the two cities were dispatched by Yi Xiaodao, it was more appropriate for Xu Hong and Master Guo to respond to this kind of official response. Whether he will come or not depends on Yi Xiaodao's mood. Xu Hong and Master Guo did not dare to offend the King of Nanhuai rashly.
"Master Yi, if you join them tomorrow... your chances of winning will be better." On the way back, Xu Hong followed Yi Xiaodao and suggested to Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao chuckled: "Mr. Xu also wants to be called a wealthy family in Nanhuai? Rather than fighting side by side, wouldn't it be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?"
Xu Hong did not respond to Yi Xiaodao's teasing, and asked: "Master Yi, what you mean is...today...stand by and watch?"
Yi Xiaodao did not answer, but changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Xu, dare I ask... How is the eldest son of the Nanhuai Palace like a person? How is his martial arts?"
Xu Hong was stunned for a moment when asked, and then replied truthfully: "The eldest son of the Nanhuai Palace... I heard that he is a man of justice and boldness, but he doesn't have any scheming. The second son, on the other hand, is a bit scheming and quite wealthy. But he is also kind to others. . Our Jiacheng is as close as Su City. These are all passed down by people orally, so they should be unmistakable."
"What about martial arts?" Yi Xiaodao asked paranically.
"Martial arts... There was a nursery rhyme in Nanhuai in the early years, which goes, 'The Li family in Nanhuai has two children. The second son is Zhang Zifang, and the eldest son is Xiaobawang.'"
"So what exactly?" Yi Xiaodao's eyelids twitched slightly when he heard the word "little overlord".
Xu Hong touched his beard and said with a smile: "It's worthy of the name! Xu was lucky enough to see the eldest son once clearing out water bandits near Jiacheng. His heroic appearance... must have reached the realm of Jiyin."
"Diyin!?" Yi Xiaodao's heart was beating wildly.
As early as in the capital prison, Hu Lishan not only talked to him about Jianghu martial arts sects, but also mentioned Jianghu's default martial arts realm levels, which are Hongmeng, Lingjing, Xindao, Zaiyin, Baoyang, Diyin, Tianxing, Refers to breath and feathering.
When you reach the realm of mind, three or five big men can't get close to you. However, at this time, you still belong to the category of ordinary warriors. No matter how hard you practice, you can only beat a few more people. But once you have passed the heart path and entered the three realms of Zaiyin, Baoyang and Diyin, it is different. Flying over eaves and walls, picking leaves and hurting people are all minor. Even soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles can do it. The battle went back and forth several times. The three realms of Tianxing, Zhixi, and Yuhua are the enemies of thousands of people in the ever-changing situation. Especially for immortality, which is already halfway to becoming an immortal. There are rumors in the world that Zhang Zongbai, the head of Zhenyang, has reached the realm of immortality. Someone who wants to go up the mountain to ask questions, but head Zhang just smiles and says nothing.
Yi Xiaodao once asked a group of Chen Congwei about their martial arts skills. Hu Lishan was scratching his head. He didn't know whether it was difficult or inconvenient to judge. He could only say leisurely: "When encountering strength, become stronger." Let Yi Xiaodao realize it on his own. But he also warned Yi Xiaodao that he must make accurate judgments and not underestimate or misjudge. For example, Mo Qinglou lived in the world and rarely interacted with people in the world. When he encountered "Snow Falling on Thousand Mountains" from Zangyun, he mistakenly thought that he had arrived. In the state of rest, I was panicking and didn't dare to fight.
"Diyin..." Yi Xiaodao muttered.
As the richest man in Jiacheng, Xu Hong has seen the world and knows a little bit about the affairs of the world. Master Guo couldn't understand the conversation between the two. He remembered the promise he had just made to King Nanhuai. He was a little worried at this time and stepped forward and asked: "Master Yi...the matter of fighting together that King Nanhuai mentioned..."
Yi Xiaodao turned around and said with a smile: "Go! The King of Nanhuai has spoken, how can you not give me face? You must go!"
Hearing Yi Xiaodao's words, the stone in their hearts fell to the ground. It would be no joke if they offended King Nanhuai.
Yi Xiaodao was not so optimistic. It was not his original intention to unite the armies of the two cities in the first place. Yi Xiaodao just hoped that Xiang Lian'er would be safe. Magistrate Ding and Xu Hong were dissatisfied with Lingyue Pavilion's actions, and because of Yi Xiaodao, they took the initiative to borrow troops, and the two families joined forces. Even if they join forces, Yi Xiaodao just hopes that the noise will be louder, and Lingyue Pavilion will take the initiative to return Xiang Lian'er under pressure. Who would have known that the King of Nanhuai had raised another army and was heading straight for Hangzhou. By mistake, he and the King of Nanhuai formed a pincer attack on Hangzhou. This time it was really mud stuck in the crotch, it was either shit or shit.
Yi Xiaodao had another thought in his mind. He could only put Fang Long's matter aside for now. The top priority was to rescue Xiang Lian'er first. Yi Xiaodao made up his mind.
Early the next morning, with drums beating and flags flying, 30,000 Nanhuai soldiers marched majestically under the rising sun with spears and swords and horses in armor. A group of elders from the Nanhuai family stood on the city wall. Thirty thousand soldiers came to the city. It was impossible to see the end of the city wall.
"Zhu...Elder Zhu, what should we do?" A group of clan elders became nervous.
"Why are you anxious? I won't fight him, and I don't need to worry about him until I die. If you dare to attack the city, just give it a try." Zhu Ce firmly decided to confront the King of Nanhuai head-on. He firmly believed that with the imperial court's order, the King of Nanhuai would have to Retreat obediently.
Yi Xiaodao ordered the soldiers from the two divisions in Jiacheng, Yicheng, to also raise flags and use many guns to surround but not attack. He circled the city alone to the north, quietly observing the attack on King Nanhuai's side. situation.
The most dazzling among the Nanhuai army was Li Yaoyang. He was dressed in iron armor and held a spear as thick as a bowl. The spear was nine feet long and he could swing it freely, which showed his amazing arm strength.
"Dad, if you don't take action over there..." Li Dingxing whispered from behind.
The old Nanhuai King said with a smile: "What do you mean, they will definitely not take action first, so we have to fight, and we have to fight beautifully, so that they dare to take action. Let me tell you, big brother, in the first battle, we can fight Be pretty.”
Li Dingxing stood up and asked for a stiff bow from a soldier. The old Nanhuai King still felt strange. Just when he was about to ask, Li Dingxing opened his bow and nocked an arrow. The arrow was like a shooting star and hit a flag-bearing man on the wall of Hangzhou. The soldier hit with an arrow! The people and the flag all fell to the bottom of the city.
"Xing'er... when did you..." Old Nanhuai King thought he was dazzled. His youngest son, who only knew how to read, could still have such exquisite archery skills?
Li Dingxing did not answer his father's words, and quickly set up a second arrow, and another arrow, shot straight towards Zhu Ce.
When the arrow arrived, the soldiers on the side raised their shields to block the arrow.
"Brother! Come on!" Li Dingxing shouted to Li Yaoyang.
Li Yaoyang didn't care to praise his second brother's archery skills. He danced with his big spear and charged towards the towering city wall, one man and one horse.
"Okay, brothers fighting tigers, father and son are going into battle! I'll beat the drum!" The old Nanhuai King stood up, straightened his back unconsciously, took the drumstick from the drum beating soldier, and beat it.
"The whole army obeys the order! Attack the city!" Old Nanhuai King roared.
Thousands of armies gallop forward.
