The man who stopped Lu Jin was dressed in strange clothes. He wore a leather jacket that exposed his arms. It was not clear whether he was cold or hot.
Lu Jin didn't know him, but Gu Shengchao would definitely laugh out loud if he were here.
This person is Shentu Hong, the prince of the Shentu tribe of Tianrong Kingdom.
Gu Shengchao came to Xileng Kingdom for the first time and escorted Yang Qianhui and Fang Ju to Yunqi Palace. On the way, he met Shen Tuhong and got into trouble. In the end, Shen Tuhong was able to escape after writing an IOU.
Lu Jin didn't know this. She had just killed Zhou Hualiang. She was unfamiliar with the place and didn't want to cause trouble, so she turned around and was about to leave.
The back road was also blocked by two riders.
"It's your blessing that my young master has taken a liking to you. Don't take it as a compliment." One of them mocked.
Lu Jin was angry: "Get out of the way, don't force me to do anything."
The man was even more excited after hearing Lu Jin's soft and gentle voice: "Hey, then you should do it, I suddenly can't wait any longer."
Amid the laughter of the onlookers, the man galloped towards Lu Jin, reaching out and preparing to capture Lu Jin alive.
Everyone was waiting to watch the excitement, thinking that capturing Lu Jin was a sure thing.
The moment the two of them crossed paths, Lu Jin accurately grabbed the other person's protruding wrist, shook it hard, and the person's wrist broke, and he threw it diagonally behind him.
"thump!"
The man who had been arrogant just now fell from his horse and fell to the ground wailing.
The onlookers were in disbelief, and they suffered the loss before they could see clearly what was going on.
When the remaining man saw Lu Jin rushing towards him on horseback, he held a sword in both hands and faced him.
Lu Jin didn't want to get too entangled. When the two were about to fight, she flew into the air, passed over the man's head, landed on the horse's back, and galloped away.
"This is too much bullying, so don't leave!"
With a sharp shout, a man flew out of the thorn like a big bird, swung his swords and stabbed at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin had no choice but to summon a round shield and scimitar to resist the opponent's attack.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, Lu Jin, who was not as strong as the opponent, flew backwards from the horse and landed lightly on the roadside.
The man refused to give up and pressed forward step by step with his sword.
After more than ten moves, Lu Jin was surprised. Although the opponent's swordsmanship was fierce, it had many loopholes. Every move was within his expectation.
It was clearly the Fengwu Qiuhuang sword technique taught to her by the ancient sage Chao, but the opponent's sword technique was messy and without any structure at all.
Seeing the onlookers gathered around him, Lu Jin was afraid that it would be inconvenient to rush out if he was delayed for a long time, so he secretly prepared to kill the opponent and escape.
"Stop it, everyone."
Just when Lu Jin was about to use his killing move, a woman's high-pitched voice sounded familiar to Lu Jin.
The two of them took a few steps back at the same time, but saw a person falling from the sky like a fairy and landing between them.
"Sister Shui!"
Lu Jin was overjoyed to see it was Shui Linglong. If it weren't for the enemy, she would have stepped forward and hugged her.
Shui Linglong put her arms around Lu Jin's shoulders, looked around and said coldly: "This is my good sister, who of you dares to bully her!"
Everyone present felt the invisible pressure, which was suffocating.
The man wielding the two swords snorted coldly: "It turns out to be Elder Shui. Your sister hurt one of my disciples. Shouldn't I teach her a lesson?"
"Sister Shui, they wanted to molest me, and they did it first." Lu Jin said aggrievedly.
Shui Linglong took a step forward, but her imposing aura frightened the man so much that he couldn't help but step back.
"Guan Yi, as the leader of the Shuangjian Sect, you have allowed your disciples to do evil and bully the people. Do you need me to report it to the court for comment?"
Shui Linglong showed her long sword and said aggressively: "If you are not convinced, how about we compete first?"
As the head of the sect, Guan Yi was afraid of being laughed at even though he was cowardly in front of the disciples, so he bit the bullet and said: "A contest is a contest, but now we are fighting against the enemy together. If we fight first, we will make others laugh. I will wait until the rebellion is quelled." Ask Elder Shui for advice."
"Let's go." Shui
Linglong put away her sword and asked Lujin to leave.
The onlookers automatically flashed out of a passage.
"My horse." Lu Jin ran over and took the horse, followed by Shui Linglong.
Coming to a secluded place, Shui Linglong said with a sullen face: "The country of Xileng has not been peaceful recently, why did you come here?"
"Sister is angry?" Lu Jin didn't answer and asked carefully first.
Shui Linglong smiled, hugged Lu Jin and said, "How can I be angry with my good sister? It's just that I have been busy recently and had to scare those people, so I haven't adjusted for a while."
"The way my sister looked just now was so scary." Lu Jin said truthfully.
Shui Linglong smiled and said, "Am I really that scary?"
Lu Jin nodded: "I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak."
Shui Linglong said happily: "That's right, do you know why they bully you?"
"It's not just because I was walking alone that they thought they could take advantage of me." Lu Jin got angry thinking of today's experience.
Shui Linglong reminded her: "You said what my sister looked like just now was terrifying. If they saw what my sister looked like then, would they still dare to take action?"
Lu Jin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Probably not. Most of the people I see bully the weak and fear the strong, and only pick the weak."
"That's right, we are committed to good deeds, but our kindness must also have a sharp edge on the outside, so as to prevent bad people from taking advantage of the situation." Shui Linglong explained.
She looked at Lu Jin carefully and looked embarrassed.
"What, is there something on my face?" Lu Jin reached out and scratched at his face.
Shui Linglong chuckled: "Your face is so delicate that I couldn't help but want to pinch it a few times. Next time I go out alone, apply it a little darker to avoid attracting the attention of bad people."
"Also, can your voice be rougher? If you speak with a high voice like that, you will sound like a weak child. Who else can you bully if not you?" Shui Linglong added.
Lu Jin wondered: "I can do it with darker makeup on my face, but my voice has been like this since I was a child, and it's too difficult to change. And I don't deliberately speak with a high voice, it's just like this by nature."
"Then I won't force you. Anyway, if you act fierce and indifferent outside, you can indeed avoid a lot of trouble." Shui Linglong imparted her experience.
The whole town looked like a military camp, with heavily armed soldiers everywhere.
The two came to a camp, and someone came forward to greet them: "The water elder is back."
"Well, my sister is here to accompany me, and you can feed her horse together." Shui Linglong's face changed instantly, and she returned to her usual cold and arrogant look.
The two of them walked into a room, and Shui Linglong's expression immediately softened a lot.
The house is not big, and the furnishings inside are simple. At first glance, it looks like a temporary residence.
Shui Linglong tidied the bed: "Just find a place to sit. Our army will leave the day after tomorrow. You can stay with me for two nights first."
"Army, who are you going to attack, sister?" Lu Jin was curious.
Shui Linglong didn't answer, but asked: "You haven't told me yet, why did you come to Sireng Country?"
Lu Jin told Shui Linglong in detail how Gu Shengchao came to Xileng Country to help Baixian Village, how she went home alone to visit relatives and was unwilling to wait, and rushed in impulsively.
"You are too reckless." Shui Linglong scolded softly.
Lu Jin pouted and said, "I'm already here. I can't go back. Sister, tell me what I should do. Should I continue to Yunshang City to find Brother Gu?"
Shui Linglong shook her head: "Absolutely not. Now Yunshang City has been in chaos for a long time. You are not familiar with the past. Who knows what will happen?"
"What happened in your West Cold Country that you need your sister to lead troops to fight?" Lu Jin was puzzled.
Shui Linglong sighed and said: "The old emperor of Xileng Kingdom died suddenly and strangely. The new emperor ascended the throne, but his foundation is unstable."
"Our Serang Kingdom is different from your Dawu Dynasty. Your court has the emperor as the core and has the final say. We also have many princes and feudal states. After the new emperor ascended the throne, many princes and feudal states were waiting and watching without expressing their opinions. This is The emperor was dissatisfied.
"
"Among these many princes, the King of Zhennan is weak. He usually has little contact with the surrounding princes to avoid suspicion, so he is considered weak. Therefore, the new emperor used him to establish his prestige."
"Because the emperor lacked support, he borrowed soldiers and horses from the neighboring Tianrong Kingdom, led by Prince Shentu to assist. We also sent some troops from Yunqi Palace to join the army and fully assist the court in attacking King Zhennan."
Lu Jin said excitedly: "That's great. Now that my kung fu is not weak, I will help my sister to kill that Zhennan King."
Shui Linglong looked at her jumping up and down like she was a fool: "Do you know who is there with King Zhennan?"
"Isn't it King Zhennan? Who else could it be? Could it be that my elder brother Gu is also over there?" Lu Jin guessed.
Shui Linglong snorted: "You are not stupid, but you only guessed half of it right. King Zhennan has many friends of your elder brother Gu. If I really kill King Zhennan, your elder brother Gu will definitely fall out with me. .”
Lu Jin took Shui Linglong's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, please tell me, who is there?"
"Didn't your elder brother Gu tell you?" Shui Linglong was confused.
Lu Jin shook his head: "No, he rarely talks about the situation here."
Shui Linglong immediately guessed the key: "No wonder, he is afraid that you will accidentally spill the beans, and his wives will definitely not be able to spare him."
"Sister, you can tell me the secret secretly." Lu Jin became interested.
"You will know it gradually. Let me tell you who they are first." Shui Linglong took Yang Qianhui, the daughter of the King of Zhennan, and her personal maid Fang Ju who was more like a sister, as well as those who came from Beihu to Yunshang. Wanyan Xi, who lives in the old house in the city, told Lu Jin respectively.
"Among them, Wan Yanxi is the one you care about the most, Brother Gu. Although I am not commanding the imperial army, if she is injured, I will not be able to escape my involvement. Tell me, how should I fight this battle?" Shui Linglong smiled helplessly. road.
Lu Jin wondered: "Is that Wan Yanxi beautiful? The most beautiful woman I have ever seen is Brother Gu's wife Liu Ximei. Is she even more beautiful than her?"
Shui Linglong shook her head and said, "Wan Yanxi is not beautiful, and she is even blind."
"Ah!" Lu Jin was shocked: "A blind man?"
Shui Linglong nodded: "The feelings between people are sometimes very mysterious. When you grow older, you will understand that you don't have to give a reason to love someone."
"You don't need a reason to love someone." Lu Jin seemed to understand.
