Cheng Qianli did not exit the hall after shouting this. Jiang Shuo was eager to rush into the hall, but he had already returned the gold tooth dagger to Dugu Xiang. He lacked a weapon to break the formation. Secondly, he was worried about the safety of Dugu Xiang and Cheng Qianli. He was not as calm and calm as before in the royal hall, but was temporarily trapped and unable to break through the blade net of the big food warrior.
Jiang Shuo shouted: "Xianger, Brother Cheng, what happened inside? Get out first!"
But no one answered.
Jiang Shuo became more and more impatient, and sent out two powerful auras from his hands, blasting at the faceless man. At this time, the big food warriors were no longer anxious, and they immediately expanded the circle, advancing and retreating like a series of waves, surrounding Jiang Shuo.
At this moment, a person slowly walked out of the hall and said to Jiang Shuo, "Look back, long time no see."
Jiang Shuo was shocked when he heard this. When he looked up, it was Li Zhuer!
Jiang Shuo said: "Zhu'er, Zhu'er...how did you get here? You want to..."
Li Zhuer stood in the night with her hands behind her back. She didn't even look at Jiang Shuo, but seemed to be looking up at the moon. The moonlight clearly outlined her profile. Jiang Shuo was at a loss for words, unable to say, "It's something I want to do again." "do what.
Li Zhuer gave a rare bright smile and said: "So what? Looking back, I helped you a lot last time. You won't forget it, right?"
Indeed, the last time they met, Li Zhuer helped Jiang Shuo subdue the Tubo General Tie Renxi Nuoluo, so that he could cut off the flag in time and avoid a large number of casualties of the Tang army. It can be said that it helped him a lot, but Li Zhuer's body In the Yin League, Jiang Shuo's goal was different from his. Jiang Shuo's goal was to stop the war, but Li Zhuer looked worried about the world being in chaos. I don't know what he was planning when Khotan appeared.
Jiang Shuo said: "Then...are you here to help me again? Why did you attack Xiang'er and Brother Cheng?"
The smile on Li Zhuer's face continued, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to them. I was just too lazy to explain and let them rest for a while."
There was no smile on Jiang Shuo's face. He said with a straight face: "Zhu'er, are you here today to help the Tang Dynasty, or to eat food?"
Li Zhuer suddenly raised his hand behind his back forward and threw out a round object of unknown origin. The ball-like object rolled around and turned out to be a human head. It turned out that Li Zhuer had put his hand on it just now. Behind your back, you keep holding this head!
This head was so hideous and ugly that Jiang Shuo could never mistake it. It was really the leader of the cannibals, Prophet Ibn!
Naturally, the twelve faceless men also saw it, and immediately abandoned Jiang Shuo and rushed toward Li Zhuer. Jiang Shuo secretly yelled, "No!" Although Li Zhuer's martial arts is not weak, it is too difficult to fight one against twelve. These warriors are not afraid of death. Now seeing their chief officer being killed, they are all as powerful as crazy tigers. Li Zhuer How can one person stand up to the enemy?
Li Zhuer turned around and returned to the palace. The palace door behind him closed with a bang. Naturally, the faceless man would not be blocked by this thin palace door. Twelve people lined up in a line and smashed open a row of palace doors. The door burst inwards.
Jiang Shuo was still hesitant to step forward to help Li Zhuer, but he heard an earth-shattering loud noise, and twelve faceless men flew out again, falling to the ground, either motionless, or rolling on the spot. , in short, no one can climb up.
Only then did Jiang Shuo know that Li Zhuer had set up a fire mine in the palace. Once the big eater stepped in, he would be blown out immediately.
Regardless of what those faceless people were doing, Jiang Shuo ran to the door of the hall and looked inside, only to see Li Zhuer standing in the center of the hall. Behind her, Feng Changqing was still sitting still, with a calm expression on his face. Li Zhuer's murder before, and the explosion of Fuhuo Lei that shook the faceless man away, had nothing to do with him.
Dugu Xiang and Cheng Qianli had their acupuncture points tapped and thrown into the depths of the hall. Jiang Shuo suddenly realized that Li Zhuer had tapped their acupuncture points to prevent them from walking around randomly and triggered the Fuhuo Lei in advance. Placing them in the main hall away from Fuhuo showed that she did not want to harm them.
Jiang Shuo stood outside the hall and asked doubtfully: "Sister Zhu'er, what are you doing?"
Li Zhu'er said: "Looking back, there is no more fire thunder." She glanced outside the palace and saw that the well in the backyard had been covered by huge rocks. She smiled again and said: "Cheng Lang still has more evil ideas... come in quickly." Bar."
Jiang Shuo stepped into the hall, crossed his hands and saluted Feng Changqing and said, "Jiang Shuo has met Doctor Feng."
While saluting, he took a peek and saw that Iben was still sitting in the guest seat, but his head had been cut off. He thought to himself: I didn't expect Sister Pearl to be so good at swordsmanship now. He heard that the head would be cut off. To cut off the lower body but keep it still, one requires the sword to be sharp, the other requires the person wielding the sword to be strong and fast enough, and finally, it requires extremely accurate bone recognition, so that the sword can cut through the gap between the two bones before it can be used again. Fast and hard.
He was thinking wildly in his mind, and after a long time he realized that Feng Changqing had not spoken at all. When he looked closely, he saw that Feng Changqing's eyes were slightly closed, as if he was falling asleep. Jiang Shuo then thought that Li Zhuer must have ordered it for him too. Acupuncture points, Feng Changqing looks so calm.
Li Zhuer seemed to sense Jiang Shuo's thoughts and said, "In the future, don't worry, Doctor Feng is fine."
Jiang Shuo ignored Li Zhuer's greetings and walked behind Feng Changqing. He felt for his pulse and saw that his heartbeat was steady and his breathing was long. There should be nothing serious. Looking at Dugu Xiang and Cheng Qianli, they just had their sleeping points tapped.
Jiang Shuo suddenly thought, No! Beheading Yiben and attacking Dugu Xiang and Cheng Qianli one after another, even if Li Zhuer's skills were able to do these things, it was difficult for her alone to do it so quietly, but he understood it too late.
When Jiang Shuo noticed something was wrong and turned around, there was already a person blocking the door of the hall. The person was wearing a large gray cloak. The huge hood shrouded the person's entire face in shadow, although he could not see it. From his appearance, Jiang Shuo already knew who this person was.
At this time, Li Zhuer had already turned on the light, and the man pulled down his hood. It was indeed the Sword Master Pei Min. However, after three years, Pei Min looked even older, and his gray hair was now more white than black.
It is understandable that Yi Ben could be beheaded so cleanly and neatly. Such methods were certainly not done by Li Zhuer. Pei Min was called the Sword Master for no reason. The accuracy of the sword's position and the skill of force were unparalleled in the world. No one can match him.
Although Pei Min is a powerful figure in the Hidden Sect, he is still an elder. Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "General Pei, Shuo'er is polite."
He was polite, but his eyes were staring at Pei Min warily.
Pei Min smiled and said, "Look, there's no need to be so defensive about me. Come on, sit down!"
He pointed at the wooden couch opposite Iben's body. Jiang Shuo might not be able to escape with his light skills, but Dugu Xiang and Cheng Qianli were still in each other's hands, as well as the Tang Army's coach Feng Changqing. Jiang Shuo naturally couldn't just walk away. He responded calmly and sat down on the couch as Pei Min pointed out. Opposite him was a headless corpse. Naturally, Pei Min would not sit down. He lifted up his gray robe and sat on the same couch as Jiang Shuo.
Li Zhuer actually boiled water and prepared tea behind the two of them, and got busy.
When Jiang Shuo saw Pei Min sitting down, two long swords were exposed from under his robes. One was completely black and had a long and narrow body. He didn't know what the sword was. The scabbard and hilt of the other sword are made of warm-colored Nanhai cypress wood. It is the Seven-Star Sword.
Pei Min noticed Jiang Shuo staring at his waist, smiled slightly, took off the two swords from his waist, and placed them on the table in front of them. The black sword was close to him, and the seven-star sword was as soon as Jiang Shuo stretched out his hand. He was in a position where he could catch him, but Jiang Shuo didn't act rashly and just looked at Pei Min quietly.
Pei Min said: "Looking back, I am very relieved that you are not dead."
Jiang Shuo sat upright and said nothing.
Pei Min didn't take it seriously and said: "Pi Luoge was a little anxious back then. In fact, we didn't have such big differences."
Jiang Shuo still lowered his head and said nothing.
Pei Min continued: "Look, don't what you want to do and what the Yin Alliance is doing lead to the same goal?"
Jiang Shuo finally couldn't help but said, "Is it the same?"
Pei Min smiled and said: "Look, in the battle at Shibao City, if Zhu'er hadn't helped you, how many people would have died in the Tang army?"
Jiang Shuo was stunned. He had always thought that Li Zhuer's act of capturing Iron Blade Xenoluo in the battle of Stone Castle was hidden from the Yin League and Pei Min. Unexpectedly, Pei Min was fully aware of it. He wondered: "But Yin Min Didn’t the alliance talk about checks and balances and have been helping the Fan tribe to attack the Tang army?”
At this time, the water on the tea stove was boiling, and white steam was coming out. Li Zhuer did not add various foods to the tea soup as was the fashionable practice, but just made clear tea. She poured the water into the tea that had already been ground. At the end of the meal, she stirred slowly, her hands rose and fell without any hurry or slowness. She looked leisurely and elegant, but she also had an indescribable cold feeling, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her, and she didn't have anything to do with her either. Concerned about everything in the world, Jiang Shuo looked at Li Zhuer in a trance, and felt a pain somewhere in his heart, as if he was being stung by a stone at the bottom of the Sanmenxia River.
While making tea, Li Zhuer said: "The giants are also Han people, but they will not let the Han people suffer. The ultimate goal of the Hidden Alliance is for the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries and all ethnic groups to live in peace. Big countries will not bully small countries, and small countries will keep their duties." , don’t be inferior to superior.”
Jiang Shuo suddenly felt that what they said made sense, and said casually: "So you helped the Tang army conquer Shibao City because Tubo demanded too much?"
Pei Min said: "Yes, Tubo's forced occupation of the meander of the river was the source of successive wars between Tang and Tibet. Now that Ge Shuhan has occupied the West Sea, he will not climb over Jishi Mountain to attack the bitter cold plateau. And Tubo has lost its stronghold and is unable to counterattack for a while. Can both sides enjoy decades of peace?"
Jiang Shuo looked at Li Zhuer and said, "So even if I don't take the initiative to ask for help, sister Zhuer, you will still sneak into Stone Castle City to capture Iron Blade Xenoro?"
Li Zhu'er smiled slightly and said: "Yes, wouldn't it be possible for you to go in with open fire like Su Zhi? You are a manly man who pays attention to the banner of integrity and a dignified formation. I am a female streamer. Naturally, I sneak in quietly and play. It’s just some tricks that don’t catch your eye.”
Jiang Shuo thought in his mind that Li Zhuer knew the weakness of Iron Blade Xenoro and used her skills to sneak into and subdue Iron Blade Xenoro. It was not impossible, but what happened to Ye Guizhen?
Pei Min seemed to see through the doubts in his heart and said: "Ye Guizhen is already an abandoned son. He was blinded by hatred and wanted to seize Longyou from Tubo. I left him with Iron Blade Xinuoluo, too. In order to make him relax his vigilance towards the Hidden Alliance, it's just a pity for Little Yezi..."
Speaking of Ye Qingyao, the three of them were silent for a moment. Jiang Shuo suddenly trembled and said, "So... Piluo Pavilion is also an abandoned son?"
Pei Min said: "The purpose of burning Yinglong City is to urge Geshuhan to launch a general attack as soon as possible, because we have received news that Tubo Zanpu is preparing to send out all the fifty Dongdai troops of Tubo to fight Geshuhan decisively. If he does not capture Shibao City, The situation of the war is beyond the control of the Hidden Alliance."
Jiang Shuo nodded secretly in his heart. Gao Xiuyan and Zhang Shouyu had also told him this, and if it was confirmed with Pei Min, he knew what he said was true.
Li Zhuer continued Pei Min's words: "Piluo Pavilion wants to use the power of the Yin Alliance to pursue its own selfish interests. The boss has known it for a long time. Therefore, if you don't get rid of him, the Yin Alliance will only take action in a matter of seconds."
Jiang Shuo shook his head and said, "I wasn't the one who killed Piluo Ge. It was his apprentice Duan Jianwei who accidentally killed him."
