The sudden appearance of the figure initially caused the barbarians to be shocked and alert, and then they slashed at him again with their swords.
Li Zongsheng's voice indeed caused the barbarian to lose consciousness for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. There are so many of them, and they have so much blood on their hands, so what are they afraid of? I guess they all have to turn around and run away when the evil spirits see them!
However, the strength of the man who suddenly appeared was really terrifying. The knife in his hand was not even unsheathed. With a wave of his sleeves, the surrounding barbarians were knocked away.
However, he had no intention of fighting. He moved and disappeared like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was in front of Li Zongsheng. Then without any explanation, he grabbed his shoulder with one hand, turned around and flew away with him. .
Li Zongsheng originally wanted to resist, but he found that the hand was tightly clamped on his shoulder like an iron clamp. Even if he struggled hard, it was of no avail, so he simply stopped resisting.
When the barbarians saw Li Zongsheng who broke in and left together with the man who suddenly appeared, they were filled with resentment and shouted: "Quick! Chase after them! We can't let them run away!"
The crowd was in commotion, and then they chased Li Zongsheng again. However, sometimes due to limitations of strength, things that cannot be done cannot be done after all. Just like now, it can only be in vain!
On the other side, Lin Yan flew away with Li Zongsheng, making sure that no one else would catch up before he stopped and landed in a deserted alley.
As soon as he landed, figures shook in the darkness, and then Mingya walked out and said, "Back!"
Lin Yan nodded, and then let go of Li Zongsheng's hand. The latter was still in a daze and could not react.
After a while, Li Zongsheng scratched his head, pointed at Mingya and said, "You also went down to accompany him? Could it be that you were sacrificing yourself for love?"
Lin Yan slapped him directly on the head and glared: "You are so big, do you just expect us to die? Ah?"
Li Zongsheng said "Ouch", rubbed his head and said with some disbelief: "Are you really alive?"
Lin Yan said angrily: "Of course!"
At this moment, Li Zongsheng finally believed the facts before him, his eyes turned red instantly, and he said: "That's great! That's great!"
He opened his arms, and Lin Yan did the same, and the two of them embraced each other in a man's embrace.
Li Zongsheng really thought that Lin Yan was dead. After all, in that situation, the Xuantian Sect sent a large number of masters to surround and kill him. In addition, with the help of the Buddhist Sect, the three religions already accounted for two, and Lin Yan was the only one. For the little academy disciples, there is absolutely no chance of survival!
After what happened, Ming Ya left. Perhaps she was the only one who still believed that Lin Yan was not dead.
Although Li Zongsheng was unwilling to believe the fact that Lin Yan was dead at first, he had to accept it as time went by.
He wanted to avenge his brother, but with his strength, even if he tried his best, he might not be able to shake a single hair of the Xuantian Sect. A deep feeling of powerlessness rose uncontrollably from his heart. Coupled with some things that happened later, he finally started to make progress. After all, he had no strength and everything was just talk!
After a long time, Lin Yan separated from him and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two big men can hug each other for a while. If people see it, they will think that I have some improper relationship with you!"
Li Zongsheng glanced narrowly at Ming Ya next to him, and said in a deliberately longer tone, "Yes~ If Ming Ya gets jealous, my sin will be huge!"
The tone of the two people was relaxed and casual, but they just wanted to dilute the strong emotions brought about by this rare reunion and return to normal.
Although some people are brothers on the surface and hang out with each other all day long, they can't avoid it when something happens. It's even common to stab them in the back. It's really a "dagger" for their brothers!
And when some people recognize brothers, they remain brothers for life. Even if they haven't seen each other for many years and are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, there will be no barrier or alienation when they meet again.
Those who are by your side when you are in good times may not be true friends, but those who are by your side when you are in trouble are definitely true brothers!
Mingya had already booked a guest room and shared a room with Lin Yan. This was mainly to hide her from others.
Lin Yan took Li Zongsheng from the roof and entered the room. After all, there might be a search next, so it would be inappropriate to be so blatantly eye-catching. As for Ming Ya, it didn't matter. She returned to the guest room from the main entrance, which would not make anyone suspicious.
The three of them sat down in Lin Yan's room, and then each told what had happened over the years, and they couldn't help but sigh.
I haven’t seen her for a long time, but now it seems like a lifetime ago. I can’t help but be stunned by Ming Ya’s identity and the excitement of Lin Yan’s experiences over the years.
As for why he chose to join the army, in addition to Lin Yan's affairs, there were also some changes in his family. Generally speaking, during the 8,000 white-clothed siege, Li Kaizhi, the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Prefecture, led the way in the chaos. People resisted, and then were seriously injured and had to retreat from their seats, and their status in the family was also different from before.
Of course, in terms of rewards for merit, Li Kaizhi naturally received a lot of rewards, but it still makes sense to say that the tea will cool down when people are gone. The power of the Li family after he is no longer in his position will be different from before!
One day later, Li Zongsheng suddenly said that he wanted to join the army. On the one hand, Li Kaizhi was very happy that his son had grown up, but on the other hand, he was a little worried, because what he wanted to do was not to be a soldier in Chang'an City, but to actually fight in battle. .
Naturally, the mother and aunts at home disagree. The Li family is no longer what it used to be, but being a wealthy family is still not a problem, and there is no need to risk their lives.
But in the end, it was Li Kaizhi who stood up to all odds and firmly supported him!
Naturally, Li Zongsheng was not thinking about fame and fortune, or reviving the glory of the Li family, but after experiencing many things, he wanted to change his way of life and really do something meaningful!
Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles. Besides going into battle to kill the enemy and defend the country, is there anything more meaningful for a passionate man?
The three chatted for a while, and Lin Yan asked: "How are Dahai, Nishang and the others doing now?"
These former partners have not seen each other for many years. Even Ming Ya left shortly after Lin Yan's accident and did not know much about everyone's current situation.
Li Zongsheng thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen them for a long time. Before leaving, I got together with Dahai and the others."
"That guy from Dahai is still the same, cynical all day long. It's just that after your bad news came and I joined the army, he felt a lot more lonely before leaving."
"Nishang should also join the army. Although her family does not agree, she is the youngest daughter of General Yunhui after all. Once the war situation worsens, based on my understanding of her, she will definitely run away to join the army secretly!"
Lin Yan and Ming Ya looked at each other and said in their hearts, "That's true!"
Thinking of that heroic girl in their minds, the two of them couldn't help but sigh again, wondering when they would see each other again.
Li Zongsheng continued: "Since the prince's incident happened, the little princess has been kept in the palace by His Majesty, and it is difficult to see her."
After hearing this, Lin Yan understood in his heart that this was probably for protection!
Although the "Tian family is ruthless", based on Lin Yan's understanding of the little princess Li Wangshu, the girl is still very emotional. When the prince's incident came out, she probably felt uncomfortable. She may also have some troubles in staying in the palace and not coming out. untie.
As for the other people, Li Zongsheng didn't know much about them, especially after he joined the army, he had less contact with them, and it is difficult to know their current situation now.
Lin Yan looked at Li Zongsheng and said, "How are you and Nishang doing?"
Li Zongsheng and Xue Nishang were childhood sweethearts. When they were in the academy, Lin Yan and the others could tell that Li Zongsheng still had some feelings for that woman that were different from his friends.
Hearing this, Li Zongsheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do? In my current situation, what qualifications do I have to talk about this?"
Mingya frowned and said, "Nishang is not that kind of vulgar woman. She should also have a good impression of you."
Li Zongsheng continued to smile bitterly: "Now that I am in danger all day long, I may die on the battlefield one day, so what qualifications do I have to make any promises? I can't give her anything. Maybe keeping silent is the best for both parties. the best!"
Ming Ya wanted to say something more, but Lin Yan shook his head at her and signaled her not to say any more in his eyes.
This kind of thing can only be thought and decided by the parties concerned. What others say is of little significance!
Bypassing this topic, Lin Yan asked Li Zongsheng the purpose of his visit. Now that Jiangling City has fallen, Li Zongsheng disguised himself as a soldier and sneaked into the city, so he naturally had a secret mission.
In fact, normally speaking, such secret missions must not be told to others, even the people closest to you.
But now Lin Yan had already guessed a lot, and Li Zongsheng also revealed some, but still chose to remain silent about the key information. This was not because he didn't trust Lin Yan, but because of his conduct as a soldier.
Lin Yan naturally understood this. After all, he had also served in the military.
However, Lin Yan frowned after listening. He was not optimistic about what Li Zongsheng and others were planning to do, and even thought that there was a high possibility of their failure.
Now that Jiangling City is occupied by barbarians, the level of danger is far beyond that of an ordinary battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.
When Li Zongsheng was discovered after sneaking into Baiyun Temple, some people did interfere and tried to rescue him, but in the end they returned without success.
Their idea is good, they collect intelligence and wait for opportunities to cause chaos, but they lack manpower and it is difficult to execute.
Li Zongsheng stared straight at Lin Yan and said, "Help me!"
Lin Yan said: "Okay!"
He did not hesitate in this regard. This is not only brotherhood, but also the righteousness of the country and the nation!
"Hey, hey, hey, don't forget that I'm here!" Ming Ya said with a smile as bright as a flower.
Just when the three of them were preparing to make a plan, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a sharp voice came, saying: "Open the door quickly! The Weihu Army has been ordered to search for the thief!"
