but-
Before that, Gong Xichou still had to deal with some annoying "little mice". Gong Xichou pursed his lips, his eyes slightly sank, and carefully felt the several martial courage auras that locked onto him. The corners of his mouth stained with blood raised a disdainful sneer: "You guys are worthy? Get lost!"
The long halberd swept across, and the sound and the air waves formed by the martial spirit condensed from him, vibrating in all directions. The ordinary soldiers who were hit head-on had their heads exploded immediately, bleeding from all seven orifices, and the brave warriors who came to kill him were also hit by a thousand-jin giant tripod and flew backwards.
Those who are stronger are not so embarrassed.
But the warhorse under his crotch neighed in pain.
Gong Xichou looked around and asked provocatively: "Come together?"
One person felt deeply humiliated and his face turned red with anger: "How arrogant you little thief!"
After saying that, he rushed out first with a knife.
Gong Xichou looked at the Wudan warriors who surrounded him.
The murderous intent is rising!
The impatient warrior hadn't even seen Gong Xichou's movements clearly, and in a trance he seemed to see a dark green shadow flash before his eyes. Then his throat felt cold, and a strong spurt of blood dyed his vision red, and the world was spinning.
strangeness-
How did his vision become so low
Why does it feel so cold
Who is holding his hair
Why…
Until he saw a headless body with familiar attire fall down out of the corner of his eye. His pupils trembled and he stared in disbelief. His consciousness completely dissipated, but he still did not close his big copper-bell eyes.
silence!
Complete silence!
One move!
Just one move!
Gong Xichou's face was mostly stained with blood, but he was too lazy to wipe it off. Instead, he arrogantly raised the head in his left hand. The eyes of the head were wide open, and one could see the shock of the head's owner before his death. He said casually, "Come?"
"Public! Western! Revenge!"
After a brief shock, one person shouted.
He said, "Give! My! Brother! His! Life! Back!"
Gong Xichou looked at the man and saw that he was indeed similar to the head in his hand. He was probably a brother. He threw the head to his warhorse, which raised its head, opened its mouth and grabbed it, then threw it back and hung it accurately on the saddlebag.
Seeing his brother's head being treated like this, that man was greatly stimulated. The pain of losing his sibling, the strong hatred, the anger of being humiliated... all the negative emotions mixed together, causing his martial energy to burst out to a level far beyond usual.
However, this "far superiority" is based on himself.
In front of Gong Xichou, the difference between the two was just the difference between an "ant" and a "slightly stronger ant", the difference between "one move" and "three moves". He laughed: "I can't repay your brother's life, but I can generously send you to see him!"
That laughter also carried a punchy sound.
If ordinary soldiers got close, they would at best feel dizzy and have tinnitus.
Almost all the brave warriors above the eighth level of Gongcheng realm were dispatched to intercept and kill Gong Xichou. As a result, one of them was beheaded by him in the first encounter. It must be said that this was a great shame and humiliation - you know, Gong Xichou had fought two consecutive battles!
Logically speaking, both his physical strength and martial energy have been depleted by more than 50%.
They thought their opponent was a spent force, but when they really fought, they realized they were wrong. The pressure brought by Gong Xichou was like facing a mountain that was difficult to climb, let alone overthrow him!
On the battlefield, the fighting continues.
The shouts of killing reached the sky.
The martial and literary spirits are rampant.
The biggest advantage of the allied forces is that they have many scholars and writers. Although their levels vary, they are not bad as a whole. On the other hand, Gong Xichou has always been more independent in fighting, and there is almost no scholar and writer who can work perfectly with him.
There were only some military clerks to help support the situation.
Even so, the two armies were almost evenly matched.
Ultimately, the root of the problem lies with Gong Xichou.
With such a brave and invincible commander, plus the great advantage of fighting generals, the morale of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses is so strong and sharp that no one dares to look directly at them. They fight like mad dogs.
It tore apart the defensive wall of culture built by several strategists of the Alliance Army, like a sharp knife that was determined to penetrate the heart of the Alliance Army, which was terrifying to watch.
Alliance leader Wu Xian watched the changes in the battle situation closely with a serious expression.
He knew that the alliance might not go smoothly in the first battle, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. Was Gongxichou so difficult to deal with? How many brave and fierce generals like Gongxichou were there in the Zhuwang rebel army? No, no, no - Gongxichou should be a special case.
If the Prince of Zhu had such a strong background, it would be impossible for him to lose to Zheng Qiao in the fight for the throne. Thinking this way, I feel a lot more comforted.
The scholar in black shirt suddenly asked: "My lord, how about making fog?"
Alliance leader Wu Xian sighed, "This is the only way we can do it right now."
He didn't want to reveal his strength too early.
However, the troops under his command are the main force of the alliance army.
After such a fierce battle, the biggest loss was to his family fortune.
Choose the lesser of two evils.
Now I can't care about anything else.
The scholar in black shirt bowed and said, "Yes.
Soon, the situation on the battlefield changed again. As the two armies fought, a strange thick fog rose around them, and both the enemies in front of them and their comrades around them were all submerged in the thick fog, and it was pitch dark, which was terrifying.
These people did not include Wu Xian's soldiers. As soon as they saw the familiar thick fog, they knew that it was the military advisor who took action!
As expected—
A familiar voice reached everyone's ears.
"Kan six two hundred and thirteen feet, then turn to Zhen four."
Some people also heard: "Dui 2146 feet."
"357 feet away..."
The soldiers who received the order acted without hesitation, moving freely through the thick fog, avoiding the fighting, and their movements were not affected.
The thick fog would affect the vision of ordinary people and low-level warriors, but high-level warriors had sharp senses, and could still move freely even in the pitch-black fog by relying on vision and hearing. For a moment, the balance tilted towards the alliance army.
Gong Xichou defeated the enemy general with one blow, and sneered with an unhappy look: "You are just a trifle, and you dare to show it off in front of me!"
After saying this, he waved his hand and took out his Wudan Tiger Talisman.
The besieging Wudan warriors tried to stop them but failed.
at the same time-
Kang Shi and his friends paddled in the thick fog.
It’s not that they don’t want to spend time, but—
There are only about 200 people at most, what are they doing? ?
My lord was seriously injured and unconscious.
Although Qishan was still awake, he looked as pale and scary as a piece of white paper due to excessive blood loss, making people suspect that he would faint and report to the King of Hell in the next second. There were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the alliance army, and he would not be discovered even if he was swimming in the water.
Seeing the thick fog rising, Kang Shi asked, "Is this a maze?"
Gu Chi said: "It's more like a fog array."
Qi Shan took some pills to heal his internal injuries, and with the help of Gu Chi and the others inputting literary energy, his exhausted Danfu greedily absorbed it, and it circulated crazily throughout his limbs and bones. Only then did he feel much better.
He shook his head: "It's neither a maze nor a fog array."
Kang Shi and the other two looked at him.
Qi Shan said: "This is Qin Li's 'Way of the Scholars'."
"Qin Li?"
Qi Shan covered his chest and coughed twice, and then he felt that the stuffy feeling was mostly gone, and his face also showed a little red, looking less scary. He continued: "It was the counselor next to the leader Wu Xian - Qin Gongsu."
Kang Shi then remembered that there was always a scholar in a black shirt accompanying the leader Wu Xian. It turned out that this man was called "Qin Li" or "Qin Gongsu"
Qi Shan slowed down and said, "Don't underestimate him."
"How come such a scholar's way is not well-known?"
Kang Shi had only seen Qin Li from a distance twice, and didn't know much about him, not even knowing his name until now. This kind of scholar was born for the battlefield, so why is he not famous
Qi Shan said: "He likes to play dirty."
Kang Shi: “…”
Is there something wrong with this statement
In terms of "shady" means, it seems that Qishan is more authoritative
Although he didn't ask it out loud, his eyes told it all, and Qi Shan almost couldn't breathe.
Kang Shi was also afraid of causing trouble for others.
He quickly restrained his expression.
Qi Shan was reluctantly satisfied and said, "It's right that Qin Li has no reputation. He is not the type to like to be in the limelight. He has talent but does not show it to others. Before he entered the government, he lived in seclusion in a temple and practiced for several years. He came out of seclusion for some reason."
Gu Chi added another blow.
"This 'some reason' isn't you, is it?"
Qi Shan wanted to hit someone after hearing this, but gritted his teeth and said, “No!”
Don't put all the blame on him.
Gu Chi looked at the thick fog and asked, "What's the reason?"
The way of the scholar is not something that can be awakened casually.
This thing is not only a special ability that belongs to an individual, but also a question for scholars to ask themselves. Who is a person in essence, what path do they pursue, or what do they desire most in their hearts... The external manifestation of ability is closely related to oneself. Looking at the thick fog covering the battlefield, Qin Li is not simple in nature...
Qishan: “…”
His reveal did have something to do with him.
However, it is only an indirect relationship.
Lord Qishan was a relative of Qin Li within the fifth degree of mourning. He once tried his best to recruit Qin Li, but to no avail.
Over time it becomes an obsession.
So Qishan came up with a bad idea to force Qin Li to come out of retirement.
Because of this incident, the two became enemies.
After that, their auras did not match and the conflicts became more and more serious.
Gu Chi: “…”
It's easy to tell that Qishan's methods are either harmful or immoral, otherwise Qin Li wouldn't have been thinking about him for so long. When she saw him, she couldn't help but feel disgusted with him, without any concealment.
Gu Chi: "Then why is he joining Wu Xian now?"
Qishan said: "The country is destroyed and the family is ruined."
In this world, the only thing that can make people homeless and wander around is war. Even if Qin Li returns to the temple, he can't really be at peace. Anyway, he has already committed so much killing, so he might as well do it thoroughly and kill his way through this world.
Gu Chi: “…”
He was speechless.
However, Qishan had some secrets that he didn't tell.
The previous lord that Qi Shan and Qin Li assisted did have the momentum of a tyrant at the beginning. He rectified corruption, regardless of relatives, reduced the heavy taxes of the people, reduced unnecessary taxes, advocated justice for the people, and was eager for talented people...
In fact, even if Qishan had not had this "bad idea", Qin Li also had the intention of taking up an official position - he was just waiting and watching, fearing that this relative who was not beyond the fifth degree of mourning was just going through the motions, so he set up a probation period - and as a result, it was really just going through the motions.
This lord started to act recklessly after his power became stable.
His nature, which had been suppressed for a long time, began to reveal itself. He began to indulge in pleasure, his moods became unstable, and he was most annoyed by the advice of Qishan and others.
Some people were beaten so badly that they almost died.
What Qishan could not accept the most was that he was flattered by the villain and believed in some evil ways that came from nowhere, using placenta as medicine to make an "elixir of eternal youth and immortality."
Since then, it has gotten worse.
Placenta alone could no longer satisfy his needs.
He wants to see more obvious medicinal effects!
Therefore, the women were dissected alive to take out their babies for use as medicine.
Qin Li, who tried to stop this, was nearly killed by a sword.
Although he survived, all his rights were stripped away and he was confined to his house. Qin Li felt that things were about to get out of control.
We should slowly plan and foster another successor of the right age. We cannot let the situation that has finally been stabilized become chaotic again.
Although they were both trying to stop him, Qin Li was at least a close relative and had been his wife for many years, so he was somewhat lenient. However, he was not so polite to Qi Shan. Qin Li was confined to his house for every time he tried to stop him, and Qi Shan was caned dozens of times for every time he tried to stop him.
The executioner was quite cruel.
If Qishan had not been a scholar, he would have certainly died after this beating. The former lord still went his own way, and the other confidants who tried to dissuade him had even worse fates, either being beaten to death, pierced through the heart with a sword, or having their hearts and stomachs cut open, and he also ordered people to search for pregnant women.
It was also this time that made Qi Shan completely determined to kill.
Qi Shan could not control his scholarly ways, nor could he wish for his lord to die suddenly, but perhaps his eagerness affected his scholarly ways, and before Qin Li could make any arrangements, his former lord was gone just like the previous lord.
Without a backbone overnight, the sons, uncles, and nephews who were eligible to compete for the succession... all became restless, some raised troops, some forced the emperor to abdicate, some launched surprise attacks...
Add to that the noble families that the previous lord offended after letting himself go, and the situation suddenly became a mess.
Qin Li's people sit at home, and when their country is destroyed and their families are ruined, they will come to heaven.
Yes, the country was destroyed just like that.
The spies planted in the neighboring country immediately passed on the news of the previous lord's sudden death, and took advantage of the chaos and internal strife among the people to attack, and the battle was as swift as lightning!
Miraculously, the entire territory was taken over in just over a month.
So -
The destruction of a country is somewhat related to Qishan.
If Qishan hadn't been so anxious, perhaps the situation wouldn't have been like this.
But Qishan doesn't think so.
The hidden danger of internal strife has always existed, but it is covered up by appearances and cannot be seen. Given the brutality of the previous lord, it is only a matter of time before his position is overthrown.
If it comes to that, neighboring countries will still take advantage of the situation.
Gu Chi guessed something, but didn't point it out.
Kang Shi's attention was all on the thick fog.
I was secretly alert.
Alliance leader Wu Xian will be a tough rival in the future.
Qin Li alone has such ability, what about his other cards
The three of them had their own thoughts.
At this time, an unexpected change occurred.
Under the thick fog, everything belongs to Qin Li’s territory!
Therefore, he was also the first to discover this.
The battle situation did not develop in the direction he expected.
"It's Gongxicho again!"
Alliance leader Wu Xian heard this and turned his head.
"Gongxichou?"
Qin Li: "My way of the scholar is ineffective on him, how come?"
Gong Xichou said nothing is impossible.
Snakes don't walk with their eyes.
