Bian Ding used this sword to explain whether he was qualified to fight Shi Fuqiu. After accepting the pressure of this sword, Shi Fuqiu looked squarely at Bian Ding and no longer underestimated him for facing the enemy with awe.
The figures of the two were as fast as lightning and moved as fast as a thunderbolt.
The battle between peerless masters, every move, every move, a life-and-death battle, fascinated the onlookers. Even the rebels who surrendered and knelt could not help but look up in fascination.
"Raven, who can win between the two of them? It seems to me that they are evenly matched." Yan Jianghong asked the raven.
Xia Chu changed his name to Yi Dao last year, and when he was taking care of Raven, who was still seriously injured at that time, in the Zhao family's military camp, he, Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong often went there to have a meal, and he became quite familiar with Raven.
Although they didn't talk much, they had experienced Han Yang's battle together, and they had already considered themselves brothers who had died together.
As for Bian Ding, he once guarded half of the city gate alone, so they were naturally familiar with each other. Seeing such a fierce fight now, they couldn't help but ask Raven for advice.
The raven's normally plain face frowned slightly and said nothing.
On the contrary, Xiao Mubai whispered from the side: "Your little apprentice is not optimistic."
The other three people scratched the back of their heads when they heard Xiao Mubai's words. They looked at the two people under the tower. Although they were all bursting with murderous intent, they were still going back and forth up to this moment. They could tell where they were. Optimistic.
"He is not my disciple." Raven denied flatly. After saying that, he suddenly looked sideways at Xiao Mubai, with a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Bian Ding followed Xia Chu during these days, and his other skills did not improve, but his Qinggong improved by leaps and bounds. After all, he had to run with his life with Blazing Wings every day.
Originally, he was slightly lower than Shi Fuqiu, but he made up for it by relying on his advantage of being as light as a swallow.
Therefore, in the eyes of others, the kills between the two were not equal, let alone superior or inferior.
However, how did Xiao Mubai see that the situation in Bian Ding was not optimistic
Even Xiao Mubai himself had never noticed that his martial arts attainments were improving rapidly.
Because during these days, he had no place where he needed to display his martial arts. There was civil strife in King Hu's palace. The night he decided to close the net, the outcome of the next day was already established.
Hu Zongxuan was arrested at the time, and the ministers went to King Hu's palace to pick him up. Hu Zongming was registered as the crown prince, and he was ordered to go with him to Hanyang to regain military power.
While walking along this journey, Hu Zongming once asked Xiao Mubai why he helped Hu Guo.
He didn't even know that Xiao Mubai was His Highness King Mo of the Xiao Kingdom, he only thought he was the Third Young Master Qiao of the Liang Kingdom.
In his eyes, the civil strife in Hu was a good thing for Liang State. In the end, whether he or Hu Zongxuan won, Hu State would definitely suffer serious internal strife and suffer huge losses.
However, Xiao Mubai, as His Royal Highness King Mo of the Xiao Kingdom, naturally wanted the Hu Kingdom to stop its troops at this time and not to contain the troops outside Hanyang City.
Of course, this Xiao Jiujiu Xiao Mubai did not tell the truth, but replied to him in a meaningful and upright manner: "I once reached a gentleman's agreement with King Hu. Xiao, Liang, and Hu, the three countries have temporarily repaired and cannot afford war. Although it is just a It's a promise made on paper. However, it is natural for a gentleman to travel thousands of miles to keep his promise."
Hu Zongxuan was so moved by his profound righteousness and Qiu He's broad mind that he nodded in agreement and followed him to Hanyang to withdraw his troops to show the good relations between the three countries.
After Hu Zongxuan withdrew his troops, Xiao Mubai led the raven into the city of Hanyang, looking for Zhao Shuangquan, and took away 20,000 Zhao soldiers. Among them, Yanjiang Hong, Shan Xiangpeng and Deng Qizhong heard that they wanted to reinforce General Zhao and volunteered.
Xiao Mubai vaguely remembered that they had a good personal relationship with Xia Chu, so he took them with him to Changyuan Pass.
After he left King Hu's palace, he started exchanging letters with various places again. It was then that he learned that Xia Chu had lost contact with him and rushed directly from Jicheng to Yucheng.
After Xia Chu arrived in Yucheng, he found that it was Qiao San who was guarding Yucheng, but there was still no news about Xiao Mubai who was in King Hu's palace.
However, the situation of sealing the dock became more and more urgent, and Zhao Shuangquan could not mobilize the troops in Han Yang. Xia Chu used the gold seal left by Xiao Mubai to mobilize the original team of 60,000 Mo Wang who assisted Han Yang last year. The cavalry and 20,000 infantrymen took Han Sa and set off immediately.
Because the soldiers he brought with him were all soldiers who had fought side by side last year, Xia Chu simply returned to the appearance of his previous clothes and swords.
On the way to the dock closure, Xia Chu couldn't help but feel emotional.
His birthday last year was on this road, from dawn to dusk.
This year, his birthday was still on this same road, from dawn to dusk again.
Exactly the same situation, exactly the same queue.
It's just that Xiao Mubai is missing...
The moon was in the middle of the sky, and when midnight was approaching, Bian Ding came down with the letter, and what caught his eyes was Xiao Mubai's Qingjun handwriting.
The marching team paused to repair on the spot. Xia Chu leaned against the big tree and slowly opened the curled paper. There was only one sentence on it: When I have conquered the world, I will be with you until the end of the world.
Xia Chu pressed the handwriting with a few strokes on the paper to his chest, Xiao Mubai's voice seemed to be whispering in his ears, and the piece of paper seemed to be tainted with his unique refreshing aura.
The whole world is overwhelmed, and the sun sets to the end of the world.
This sentence was what Xia Chu said to him in the bedroom of Yu'an Palace in Liang State when they first communicated with each other.
At first, I just thought that it would be good to be with this person for the rest of my life, but now I feel grateful and extremely lucky that it is him.
From beginning to end, it was him...
The evening breeze is chilly, and the time has passed.
Where the wind blows, the leaves of the trees turn like waves.
Xia Chu's heart also seemed to rise and fall on the waves, churning with the joy of two hearts connecting with each other.
But he only indulged himself for a short moment, and then he swallowed up the tenderness in his heart and his daughter's shyness, and continued on his way on his horse.
In the subsequent letters between the two of them, apart from their strategic planning for the war, there was not a single word of love.
Both parties have suppressed a heavy past event in their hearts, but neither of them has spoken to the other party. Only when everything is settled in the end can they reveal the pain that they have suppressed and comfort each other.
Therefore, when the two of them met again after experiencing so many things, Xia Chu felt that the whole world seemed to have stopped, and they were the only ones standing in the unreachable sky and under the tower. Look at each other.
Although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly, they knew that what they were thinking in their hearts was exactly the same.
They have been waiting for this moment for too long.
When Xiao Yanjun tried to provoke Xiao Mubai to kill him and was criticized by the world, the reason why Xia Chu took action suddenly was because Xiao Mubai didn't care about his reputation, she did.
She loves him and wants him to be surrounded by people.
Therefore, the path he takes should be filled with flowers and bustling with people, and no dirty words can be tolerated.
