Li Keyong was shocked and angry, and had no time to react.
On one side of the parade ground, a horse was galloping like a wave, and a cold sword was shining in the air. The person the sword was pointing at was Mo Wenlan, who had just won the victory and was standing resolutely in the middle of the parade ground.
At the same time, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Where did you come from, you wild girl? Do you want to die? How dare you come to Hedong to cause trouble?"
The man who came had eagle eyebrows, bright eyes and was as fierce as a tiger. He was Li Cunxian, one of the Thirteen Guardians.
Wang Yu, his good friend and brother, was flattened by a knee as soon as he came on the court, before he had a chance to show off his charm. How could Li Cunxian not be angry
Looking at his good brother being rushed out, blood splattered like rain, even if he didn't check the injury, he could guess that Wang Yu must have been seriously injured.
Poor Wang Yu, he will probably be disfigured in the future. Isn’t a collapsed nose considered disfigurement
With ease, Wang Yu was knocked away. Mo Wenlan stood proudly in the training ground, looking around with a confident look, and was the most popular person at the time.
Now her mind was fully focused on the gold that was about to be obtained. She never expected that Li Cunxian would be so unruly. He didn't even say hello to her and just came up to chop her with a big knife.
Hearing the loud shouts and feeling the sound of wind, Mo Wenlan caught a glimpse of the cold light that was as bright as silver water. Her face immediately turned pale and she was horrified. Oh my god, are they going to chop me to pieces alive
It's just ten gold coins, is it worth it to cost me my life
Confused and horrified, she immediately lost her feminine demeanor and shouted, "Ah, Senior Sister, save me."
Following Mo Wenlan's voice, there was a sudden chill between heaven and earth, and countless people around couldn't help but shiver at that moment.
The temperature all around suddenly dropped by dozens of degrees.
It seemed as if everyone had suddenly come from the hot summer to the cold winter, and even came to an ice cave in the snow.
It was cold, bone-chillingly cold, so cold that even the blood was completely frozen at that moment, and the blood could not circulate smoothly.
Accompanied by endless coldness, a flash of sword light suddenly shot out from the crowd. The sword light was as sharp as a sword, just like the bright light that tore apart the sky and the earth. In the blink of an eye, it pierced Li Cunxian who was swinging his sword towards Mo Wenlan.
The sword shines extremely brightly, and the sword lights up fourteen states, making all the evil spirits and monsters turn around and flee.
One sword for four seasons, a sword comes out in the dead of winter, Longhu Mountain’s second senior brother Yi Jiangnan, takes action in an instant.
The sword of midwinter carries with it boundless rage and contains a ruthlessness that freezes everything. It is as swift as thunder and as fast as lightning.
As the sword flashed, everyone only felt a dark shadow passing by suddenly. Some people even didn't feel the shadow at all. The figure had already flown away into the darkness and was no longer within their perception.
The sword was extremely cold and flew away like a stream of light. In a flash, it shot out from the crowd, flew to the center of the training ground, came to Mo Wenlan's side, and faced Li Cunxian directly.
"when"
"Click"
The sound of metal clashing and sharp weapons exploding into pieces.
The wind was gusting and dust was rising. In the midst of the smoke, a long, hissing sound of a strong horse suddenly came out.
In a moment, Li Cunxian rode out on his horse with a pale face; then he stopped his horse and stared blankly at the iron sword in his hand that was cut off by someone's sword.
Since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, weapons made of wrought iron have been the most cherished weapons by generals on the battlefield.
The surface was smooth, with swirling patterns like flowers. It was hard and sharp, and difficult to be damaged by knives or axes, or blunted by blunt objects. But today, this iron sword was actually cut off by someone's sword. Everything was so abrupt and incredible.
The long sword that man used was either a divine weapon or the gap in strength between him and that man was too great. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the scene before his eyes.
Thinking of this, Li Cunxian couldn't help but secretly thank his luck. Fortunately, that man was trying to save others and kill him. Otherwise, even if he had ten lives, he would not be able to die.
When the wind stopped and the dust settled, people outside the field looked out.
The young lady who was originally standing in front of the strong horse had disappeared.
Not far from the center of the parade ground, a man with black hair like a waterfall, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, dressed in a green shirt and holding a long sword on his back, was holding the pretty Wenlan horizontally in his arms and coldly glaring at the dazed Li Cunxian.
Obviously, it was this person who just rushed out like lightning. In an instant, he swung out with a sword, not only cutting off Li Cunxian's iron sword, but also saving Mo Wenlan.
At this time, Yi Jiangnan sheathed his sword, which showed how fast he swung the sword; and what level of martial arts he had reached, which made Li Cunxian shudder just thinking about it.
Yi Jiangnan rescued Mo Wenlan and carefully placed her on the ground. He continued to stare at Li Cunxian coldly and said indifferently, "You are the ones who set the rules, and you are the ones who broke the rules. Since you can't afford to lose, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Do you think that there is no one in Longhu Mountain to bully me?"
With these clear and clear words, he questioned countless civil and military officials in Hedong, making them pale and silent. Can't they afford to lose
Judging from Li Cunxian's performance just now, they really seemed like they couldn't afford to lose. Now this master who claimed to be from Longhu Mountain scolded them in person for not being able to afford to lose, what else could they say.
The rules were set by Li Keyong, and Mo Wenlan was just challenging according to the rules. Even if the Hedong side was defeated, he should immediately fulfill his promise and give money to the victor to fulfill his agreement.
Did they do that just now? Obviously not.
On the Hedong side, after one person was defeated, another person immediately rushed towards the little girl without saying a word, as if he wanted to cut her into pieces. This is not loyalty, this is shameful.
"That's right, give me ten gold coins quickly. I won't play with you anymore, you despicable villains. If it weren't for Second Senior Brother, I would have been careless today and would have fallen into the hands of you villains."
As soon as the danger was over, Mo Wenlan saw her second senior brother right beside her, which immediately aroused her courage. She puffed out her chest, and with an expression as if the wound had healed and the pain had been forgotten, she began to beg for the reward relentlessly. Yes, she had not forgotten to ask for money.
"Hahaha." A long laugh immediately interrupted Yi Jiangnan and Mo Wenlan. In response to the questioning of Hedong's civil and military officials, Li Keyong, who was on the high platform, walked down the platform leisurely under the protection of several powerful generals and elite soldiers.
That loud laugh was obviously made by him, and his purpose was naturally to attract the attention of Yi Jiangnan's brothers and sisters and distract them.
"My dear brother, your swordsmanship is so beautiful. I really admire you." Before Li Keyong's men arrived, he immediately bowed to Yi Jiangnan and greeted him warmly.
He was so affectionate, as if Yi Jiangnan was his father, very humble.
"It was Cunxian who was reckless just now. He scared this young lady. I, Li, would like to apologize to you two on his behalf. Please forgive him for my sake." Li Keyong was very sincere. Not only did he avoid Yi Jiangnan and the other two, he seemed to go a step further in his condemnation of the people in Hedong and wanted to make friends with Yi Jiangnan.
Although Yi Jiangnan only made one move with the sword, it was extremely stunning. Looking at the entire Hedong, there are definitely no more than one person who possesses such skills. How could Li Keyong not be tempted by such a master
But before Yi Jiangnan could speak, Mo Wenlan looked at Li Keyong with a fierce look and said indifferently, "One-eyed dragon, I just defeated one of your men. Where is the ten gold coins you promised me?"
"Oh, that's right." She seemed to have thought of something, and immediately pointed at Li Cunxian and asked Li Keyong: "This despicable villain should also be considered defeated, right?"
"In that case, it's another ten gold coins. One-eyed man, please stop being polite and let's settle the bill."
The little girl transformed herself from a knight-errant to a street vendor, and eagerly asked Li Keyong for the reward.
But her two calls of "One-eyed Dragon" immediately angered Hedong Wenwu so much that veins popped out on his forehead and his eyes twitched.
How could she know that everyone has taboos, and Li Keyong also has his taboos. He was a prominent official, but because of his naughty behavior when he was young, he blinded one eye. The three words "one-eyed dragon" became his taboo for his whole life.
Before Wenlan could finish her sentence, she called him "one-eyed dragon" twice. Not only were the civil and military officials of Hedong furious, but even Li Keyong wanted to slap her to death. How could he still have the mood to pay her the bill
Li Keyong, who was originally as cheerful and amiable as a spring breeze, turned blue in an instant after hearing Wenlan's two calls of "One-eyed Dragon". Then the blue turned to purple, and a hint of hostility involuntarily filled the air.
"Hey, lady, watch your words. Do you think you can call someone a one-eyed dragon?" At this moment, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old beside Li Keyong swung his spear, made a beautiful spear dance, and suddenly jumped out, shouting at Wenlan.
The young man, dressed in a white robe, leaped up and stood in front of Yi Jiangnan like a javelin, facing Mo Wenlan directly. He looked awe-inspiring and murderous, not like a child at all. He seemed like a god of war who had experienced life and death for a long time.
During the Five Dynasties period, there were many brave generals, but the most domineering and invincible one should be Li Cunxiao.
However, apart from Li Cunxiao, we have to count Shi Jiantang, the man in white robe and wielding silver spear. Even Wang Yanzhang was no match for him. No one should disagree that he was the second most powerful among the Five Dynasties.
Shi Jianjian's biological father was Shi Jingsi. At Shangyuan Post Station, Shi Jingsi died in a battle to protect Li Keyong's escape.
Feeling ashamed, Li Keyong adopted Shi Jingsi's son Shi Jiantang as his adopted son and taught him carefully. Although Shi Jiantang was only twelve or thirteen years old, he was already a well-deserved veteran of the battlefield.
Shi Jianlang suddenly jumped out, and Yi Jiangnan immediately pulled Mo Wenlan behind him.
This young man gave him a very dangerous feeling. He looked murderous, bloody and fierce, and it was obvious that he was a ruthless man who crawled out from a pile of dead bodies.
With a spear in his hand, Shi Jianjian stood like a green pine, stretched as thin as a strong bow, with cold stars in his eyes and as powerful as a blue dragon.
This is a genius, a genius in using guns. Even a master like Yi Jiangnan does not dare to underestimate this young man.
