"Little devil, may we never see each other again!"
In the night, Yun Chongshu's voice was still floating in his ears, but the figures of the two of them had already rushed out for more than ten miles, running in opposite directions to the east and west.
Jiang Li stood on the top of the rocky mountain and watched the two people leave. The Sumeru Ring in his hand flashed, and he put away the jade box and the copper box.
Although this misunderstanding is a bit big.
But it seems pretty good.
After confirming that there was no possibility that the ghosts from the cave would rush into the Kyushu world in the short term, he used the cold moon above his head to identify the direction and accelerated towards the south.
As the commander of Jimingzheng City, it seems that he has been away from the camp for a long time. I don’t know if the new recruits looked like real frontier soldiers under the training of Old Man Tu.
In the vast grassland, the moonlight spread across the world like water. Jiang Li ran like flying, faster than the fastest thousand-mile horse on the grassland.
The grassland is endless, the night wind is cool, blowing the ends of his clothes and hair, Jiang Li can't help but feel a sense of freedom in his heart that the world is vast and he can roam freely.
The world is like a sea of suffering, and it is difficult for ordinary people to escape from sinking. But if you can control a giant ship thousands of miles away, hit the waves and seas, go against the wind, and achieve immortality in the turbulent waves, turn the seas and the sky, move the stars and fights, and reshape the yin and yang universe with one hand, Isn’t it wonderful?
Human practice is like sailing against the current, fighting against nature, shielding the secrets of heaven, and controlling the principles of Tao.
inverse!
It’s the opposite!
Jiang Li suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart. A warrior tempers his body and tempers his spirit. No matter whether he is tyrannical, ferocious, or gentle, he strengthens his body under the rules of this world.
No matter what level of tyranny he reaches, he still relies on the laws of heaven in this world.
Only by going to the extreme, overthrowing all rules and regulations, and recasting the rules of heaven with my will can I truly transcend!
This thought only flashed through Jiang Li's mind, and was soon filled by other thoughts and thoughts, and even he himself didn't pay special attention to it.
A martial artist in the Ten Thousand Man Realm can run thousands of miles in a day while running with all his strength. Jiang Li's physical body is comparable to that of a master in the Divine Transformation Realm. In less than two hours, he has appeared at the junction of Beimang and Zhou Dynasty, more than a thousand miles away.
The sky turned white slightly, and the sound of swords clashing could be heard sparsely in the distance.
"How much silver reward can you get for taking us back? Ten thousand taels or twenty thousand taels. If you let us go, I can give you a hundred thousand silver rewards!"
"A tiger is bullied by a dog when it falls, but no matter how weak the dying tiger is, it can still kill a native dog with one slap!"
"It's useless to talk any more. You just surrender, otherwise everyone will die and no one will survive!"
Jiang Li followed the sound and saw a faint fire rising not far ahead, and figures confronting each other.
With a thought in his heart, he rushed towards the bonfire. After a while, he arrived near the bonfire. With the help of the firelight, he saw many familiar figures, who turned out to be members of the Zhenwei Escort Bureau.
Lin Jiuyun and Lin Qingmu led a dozen escorts holding long swords and knives to surround a group of Beimang aristocratic youths who were pale and breathing hard. They attacked with their knives from time to time in an attempt to subdue them.
Next to more than a dozen carriages, the wooden boxes that originally imprisoned the noble youths of Beimang were already empty, and many boxes showed signs of being damaged by brute force.
The noble young man from Beimang who was trapped in the center was seriously injured and his physical strength was weak and shaky. However, after all, he was a giant with an innate martial arts realm. Even with all his efforts, the Zhenwei escorts wandering around could not hurt him. Every cent.
If both sides didn't have scruples, once they really fought desperately, it would still be the Beimang nobles who would win.
"I've been in the underground world for seven days, how did they get here? Where is that fox demon?"
Jiang Li glanced around, but did not see the figure of the fox demon Hong Ling. Moreover, this place was thousands of miles away from the Gobi desert where the blood cricket appeared, so it was not the fastest route into the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"who?"
Lin Qingmu stood with her sword in hand. Suddenly she noticed a strange figure walking out of the darkness, and she turned around suddenly to look.
When he saw Jiang Li's figure, he seemed to be startled. He immediately dropped the sword in his hand, ran over, ran into Jiang Li's arms, and started to cry, "Brother Jiang Li, you are finally back. I'm still here." I thought I would never see you again in this life!"
Crying, he opened his arms and hugged Jiang Li tightly, refusing to let go.
"Qingmu, how did you end up here? Where is that fox demon?" Jiang Li patted the girl's soft back and asked in a low voice.
"After you were submerged by the red wind, we tried to chase you, but we couldn't catch up. We waited for you where we were for two days, but we didn't see you come back!"
Lin Qingmu looked up with red eyes, her face stained with tears, and said twitchingly: "Later, some Beimang people looking around appeared nearby. We didn't dare to stay where we were, so we followed Sister Shangguan's instructions and returned to the south, but on the way Encountered several more small groups of Bei Mang cavalry pursuits, and could only change direction.
"The fox demon has been following us before. When the Beimang cavalry appeared nearby, she would warn us in advance and guide us to the correct escape route. But when we woke up early yesterday morning, the fox demon suddenly left without saying goodbye and disappeared without a trace!"
"General, you are back!"
Lin Jiuyun and other bodyguards were worried about how to deal with the aristocratic young man from Beimang who had woken up. When they saw Jiang Li appear, their worries instantly dropped and they felt at peace, "Hey, where are Mr. Shangguan and the Great Dog Immortal?"
"They're fine, they just got out of trouble before me." Jiang Li replied.
"I recognize you. You were sitting with a beautiful woman in the hotel in Tambu City."
A tall and burly young man from Beimang looked at him and asked coldly: "They call you general? Are you from the Zhou Dynasty and are generals of the Zhou Dynasty? I know that the Wei tribe has two intentions and will never truly surrender to our country. Mang, ninety years ago the Great Zhou Dynasty formed an alliance and cooperated with the former Wei Dynasty to destroy the former Qin Dynasty together!"
"My name is Jiang Li, and I am the commander of Jimingzheng City of the Liangzhou General Camp of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
Jiang Li looked at the tall young man from Beimang in front of him and said with a smile: "He Guyan, it's been some time since you climbed out of the wooden box. If you've had enough exercise, just crawl back obediently."
"Jiang Li? Why does this name sound so familiar!"
"I understand. He is the son of Marquis Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. A few months ago, Mang Khan launched an extermination attack on the martial arts exams of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was informed in advance and disrupted all the plans!"
"My brother participated in that operation and was killed by the Zhou officers in the post station of Shengjing City!"
When the young nobles from Beimang heard this, they were shocked at first, and then became angry. They looked at Jiang Li with eyes filled with hatred that was engraved in their bones.
"Jiang Li, if it weren't for you, Operation Manghan would have been successful, and many of our brave men would have died less!"
He Guyan roared loudly. Regardless of his physical injuries, the energy and blood in his body rolled and he suddenly exploded with great force, charging towards Jiang Li.
"Kill him and avenge our brave warrior who died tragically in the righteous cause!"
The people of Beimang were brave and violent. They had just confronted the Zhenwei Escorts. They did not take action easily and were not afraid of death. They only tolerated and restrained themselves. They felt that losing their lives at the hands of a group of Zhenwei Escorts with weak martial arts was not worth it.
But facing Jiang Li, the situation was completely different.
Not to mention the irresolvable national hatred between the two sides, the identity of Qilinzi of the Great Zhou Dynasty means that his death is not too unjust.
A young nobleman named Beimang burst out with the momentum of catching a dragon and fighting a tiger. Like a dying beast making its final counterattack, he rushed towards Jiang Li fiercely.
Several Zhenwei escorts tried to intercept, but were knocked away.
"The brave man is brave, and he is born in a noble family and has such blood. He is indeed worthy of respect!"
Jiang Li nodded secretly. From these Beimang nobles, he could see the fearless and bloody nature of the various tribes of the Mang Kingdom.
It is worthy of being a majestic country that has stood firm in the north for thousands of years.
However, for many things, courage and bloodshed alone are not enough.
Seeing the Beimang nobles coming to kill them, Jiang Li waved his hand gently, and the majestic Qi flew out like a waterfall, turning into snakes that directly overturned and entangled the rushing Beimang noble youths, and bound them tightly.
"Jiang Li, I, the three million armored warriors of Beimang, will eventually break through the Great Wall, march across the Central Plains, massacre one big city after another, kill all the men, and plunder all the women!"
He Guyan fell to the ground and struggled desperately. Blood spewed from his mouth and he cursed viciously.
"Then we have to see which of the Great Zhou's cavalry breaks through the Mang tribe's camp first, or whether your Bei Mang army crosses the tens of thousands of miles of the Great Wall in the north first!"
Jiang Li walked to He Guyan's side, and a ray of true energy flew up and penetrated into He Guyan's clothes. He rolled up a beast bag made of unknown animal fur, and flew into Jiang Li's hand.
"Damn it, give it back to me. This is the magic weapon of Huanghou, my Heguyan spirit. If you dare to take it away, the spirit will not let you go!" Heguyan shouted urgently.
"Huang Hou has already died tens of thousands of meters underground. All his Taoist realms originated from this artifact. If you hadn't stolen it, Huang Hou wouldn't have died so tragically!"
Jiang Li put the small animal skin bag into the Xumi Ring, and ordered the Zhenwei bodyguards around him to use animal sinews to bind these Beimang youths again and stuff them back into the wooden box.
After lifting up several injured Zhenwei escorts, Jiang Li used his true energy to channel the bruises and congestion in their bodies and suppress their injuries.
Lin Jiuyun led the remaining escorts to put away their camping items. After a brief reorganization of the team, they set off again, heading towards the Great Perimeter Pass a hundred miles away.
Two hours later, the team entered from the Jinshankou Pass of the Northern Great Wall. After hearing the news, the commander responsible for guarding the pass immediately came to meet Jiang Li.
Jinshankou Pass and Jiang Li's Jimingzheng City were both under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou General Camp of the Fourth Prince.
Xu Tingpei, the commander of the pass, was of the fourth rank. Although he was of the same rank as Jiang Li and had more seniority, he showed no official dignity in front of this great Zhou general and Qilinzi of the Confucian Temple.
"General Jiang Li risked his life and went deep into Tufu and Beimang. His Royal Highnesses have already sent a secret message to the passes, border towns, barrier cities, and camps in the Liangzhou section to be alert at all times. Once the general's message comes back, all efforts must be made to help!"
In the Jinshankou Pass, Xu Tingpei looked at the more than twenty young nobles from Beimang who were captured in wooden boxes with surprise in his eyes.
Jiang Li's specific actions to go deep into Beimang were not mentioned in the fourth prince's secret letter, but Xu Tingpei had been in the army for many years and could still smell some of the interests involved.
There is no way that Jiang Li's trip was just to capture these young nobles from Beimang. It should have been done casually.
But more than twenty young nobles from various tribes in Beimang are almost equivalent to more than twenty middle- and high-level generals in Beimang.
If you obtain this military merit during non-war periods, you will be promoted to at least half a rank.
From the third rank, one can command a battalion and command tens of thousands of troops.
"This trip went well. I want to borrow some sergeants from the general to escort these Beimang nobles back to the Liangzhou main camp. I haven't returned to Zhancheng for half a month, and I plan to go back to reorganize for a few days before going to see His Highness!" Jiang Li said with cupped hands! .
"Easy to say, easy to say, Xu is bound to do his duty!"
Xu Tingpei nodded quickly. Jiang Li's current momentum was unparalleled. He was highly regarded by Emperor Jing and the fourth prince. The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army and the Confucian Temple had high expectations for him. It was a foregone conclusion that he had a bright future.
"General, the two hundred-man squads sent to Luling three days ago have lost their whereabouts again. I haven't heard from them for two days!"
While he was talking, a captain in light armor walked hurriedly to Xu Tingpei and whispered.
"Disappeared again? This time General Meng went with the team to investigate, but there was no news again!"
Xu Tingpei was shocked when he heard this, his face was a little gloomy and his brows were furrowed. He waved his hand and ordered the captain to retreat. He cupped his hands towards Jiang Li and said, "General Jiang, the pass defenders have encountered a small problem. I may have to leave the pass for three to five days." If you have any instructions, General, you can go to Deputy Commander Liang at that time."
"Luling?"
Jiang Li's eyes suddenly flashed. Before he left Jimingzheng City, Yingshan Xiong and other barbarian warriors had said goodbye to him and went to the mountains to look for a tall deer beast. It seemed that their destination was near Luling.
"General Xu, please stay!"
Jiang Li said: "The responsibility of guarding the pass is important. It must be a big deal that General Xu must leave Guancheng to deal with immediately. I wonder if it would be convenient for the general to inform me?"
"This is all normal military affairs, of course I can inform you!"
Hearing this, Xu Tingpei sighed and said: "To be honest, general, this matter has been bothering me for more than a month. I guard Jinshankou Pass and am responsible for military affairs on the five hundred miles east-west border.
"The imperial court's Northern Expedition is about to begin. In order to more accurately observe Beimang's movements, I plan to build a stone tower post deep in Luling, overlooking the north!
"Two months ago, an exploration team composed of fifty sergeants was ordered to go into the mountain to investigate. At first, everything was normal, but since the sixth day, there has been no news.
"After that, I sent three more teams one after another, but the result was the same. After entering the depths of Luling for only a few days, all traces of their whereabouts would be lost!"
Jiang Li nodded, "General Xu plans to go to Luling to find out in person?"
"Many teams have disappeared in a row. Naturally, this matter cannot be settled like this. Not to mention the Luling post that must be built, I must at least give an explanation to the sergeants who disappeared in Luling!"
Xu Tingpei clenched his fists, "Even a fifth-grade Qianhu official under my command has disappeared in Luling. There must be something fishy inside, maybe it's Beimang spies who are causing trouble!"
"Half a month ago, a group of my soldiers also went to Luling to capture deer beasts. If there is something really strange in the mountains, that group of soldiers might also encounter mishaps!"
Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "If General Xu doesn't give up, Jiang Li is willing to go into Luling with the general to investigate!"
"General Jiang Li is willing to come in person?"
Xu Tingpei was overjoyed when he heard this: "Without further delay, let's leave now!"
