Chen Changsheng's gaze traveled through the black willow forest and landed on those big Zhou cavalry in the snow field, and he understood what Su Li said just now. Apart from the demons, the people in this continent who want him to die the most are the people of Zhou. These big Zhou cavalry who are obviously looking for targets are proof, but he still thinks there may be other possibilities, for example, these big Zhou cavalry are here to save us
"Why do you always like to think about things in a bad way?" Su Li listened to his question, and said slightly sarcastically, "Because everything tends to develop according to people's worst assumptions."
As if to testify to his words, dozens of cavalry out of hundreds of cavalry drove towards the Black Willow Forest, drawing a black line on the monotonous snow field, and before the Black Willow Forest, those cavalrymen They pulled out their weapons from their saddles and lowered their helmets, looking very vigilant—however, these cavalrymen were not here to save people, but to kill people.
The cavalry entered the forest with heavy hooves, and occasionally the sound of black willow branches being snapped. No matter whether they were saving lives or killing people, they did not need to hide their whereabouts, and if the target they were searching for was really what the intelligence said , just a useless person, then the next thing should be very simple.
At some point, Chen Changsheng's right hand had landed on the hilt of his sword, and he could draw out the dagger at any time.
His current body is really strong. Even if he crosses thousands of miles of snowfields, all the fatigue and hidden injuries disappeared without a trace after sleeping on the cold kang for a night. The injuries he suffered have all healed up a lot, and he is confident that he can defeat or even kill all the dozens of cavalrymen who entered the forest, even though these cavalrymen must be elites who have successfully washed their marrow. But he didn't have any confidence that he could kill these cavalry quietly without disturbing the cavalry brigade that was marching eastward on the snowfield. More importantly, these cavalry were all from the Zhou army, and he was from Zhou. There is really no way to violently kill people without asking any reason.
He didn't know what to do, he stared silently at the faint shadows of cavalrymen in the black willow forest. His hands and fingers were getting whiter and whiter. If the situation was allowed to continue like this, it wouldn't take long for those cavalrymen to see him and Su Li.
"Senior, let's go."
He finally made a decision, turned around and motioned for Su Li to come closer, and prepared to run away with Su Li on his back.
Since he couldn't continue to hide, and he couldn't draw his sword to kill, he could only run. Fortunately, he has unimaginable speed now. I believe those cavalrymen can't catch up in a short time. As for Zhou Jun who found himself and Su Li He can't care about what kind of troubles he will bring after his whereabouts.
Su Li had no intention of leaving, and said, "Open the umbrella."
Chen Changsheng didn't understand, so he took the yellow paper umbrella he handed over and opened it, and then followed Su Li's instructions to transfer the true energy into the handle of the umbrella, and at the same time activated a certain mechanism on the umbrella bone. A looming aura hangs down from the surface of the yellow paper umbrella, like an invisible waterfall, covering the surrounding area. The cold wind could not blow into the yellow paper umbrella, but snow began to fall in the sky, and the light snow fell on the umbrella surface, silently.
Dozens of cavalry came to the depths of the black willow forest, not far from them.
Chen Changsheng was very nervous. Looking at the cavalrymen more than ten feet away, he could even clearly see the color of the eyes of the leader of the cavalry.
The dozens of cavalrymen continued to disperse towards the black willow forest as if they didn't see anything.
…
…
After I don't know how long it took, after confirming that the cavalry had left the Black Willow Forest, Chen Changsheng suddenly relaxed, only to realize that the two hands holding the umbrella handle and the sword handle became a little stiff due to tension.
"Close the umbrella." Su Li said.
He put away the yellow paper umbrella as promised, tied it around his waist, and prepared to leave.
"Don't be too anxious, those cavalry should still be waiting outside." Su Li said again.
Chen Changsheng didn't question it, and sat down again in the snowdrift beside the tree, then looked at the yellow paper umbrella, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect this umbrella to have such a magical effect."
The corners of Su Li's lips curled up slightly and said, "You don't even think about who I am."
Chen Changsheng didn't answer, he was really tired, and he knew that even if he didn't answer, this narcissistic senior would definitely have a way to answer it himself.
Sure enough, Su Li raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he wanted to fly, and said proudly: "This is a magical weapon designed by me and old man Tang. It uses the Zhetian Sword as the hub and countless rare materials as the body. It can be regarded as a sitting photo." Practitioners in the lower realm may not be able to see through illusions, so do these ordinary cavalry still want to see through my umbrella?"
Chen Changsheng hesitated to speak.
Su Li raised his eyebrows even higher, and said, "Let go if you have something to say."
Chen Changsheng said: "Senior, this umbrella...is mine."
It was very quiet in the black willow forest, and the snow fell silently.
When they left Xueling Hot Spring, they had a dispute because of this matter. Chen Changsheng thought that he was seriously injured, so he didn't continue, but at this time he couldn't help it after all, because he believed that the umbrella belonged to him in the first place.
Su Li looked at him and sneered, "Do you know the origin of this umbrella?"
Chen Changsheng heard some stories about the yellow paper umbrella from Zhexiu, plus what he had seen and heard in the Zhou Garden and the snow field, he basically knew everything, and nodded.
Su Li ignored him, and still told the story of the umbrella, and finally looked into his eyes and said: "The sword I found, the umbrella I designed, and you said that this umbrella is yours?"
Chen Changsheng said: "But the material for this umbrella was found by Mrs. Tang. At the beginning, the senior left this umbrella at the Tang family in Wenshui, wasn't it because you couldn't afford the money?"
Su Li's expression became colder, and he said, "Say it again."
Chen Changsheng thought that the statement that he couldn't afford the money was indeed a little inaccurate, so he reorganized the language and said, "Isn't it because seniors reneged on your debts that the yellow paper umbrella returned to the Tang family in Wenshui?"
Su Li smiled angrily, and said: "I am the elder with the highest seniority in Li Mountain, traveling all over the world, looting houses and doing all sorts of evil, is it still short of money?"
Chen Changsheng didn't pay attention to the words that he said that he would do all kinds of evil, and explained seriously: "But you didn't give me money."
Su Li found that he had nothing to say, so he stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the arena became a little awkward. Chen Changsheng got up in a huff, climbed onto the black willow tree to observe the movement of Da Zhou's iron cavalry in the distance, and at the same time, let off the heat on his face.
After a while, he fell from the black willow tree and said to Su Li: "Senior, those cavalry should really have withdrawn."
Su Li ignored him.
Chen Changsheng said: "Senior, if these cavalry are really here to hunt you down, do they still need to hide their whereabouts now? You don't trust us Zhou people, but there are always people you can trust, just like you said before , someone will come to kill you, and someone will come to save you, although it is far from the mountain, those who want to save you may be very close."
Su Li looked into his eyes and said, "The question is, are there more people who want to kill me, or more people who want to save me? Who is more urgent?"
Chen Changsheng hesitated and said, "Senior... Do you think human nature is too dark?"
"It's not human nature, it's human heart. Human nature can't be tested, and people's hearts can't guess. Fanatical love and dislike are all interests in the final analysis. Emperor Taizong is obviously a shameless person who murdered his brother and forced his father, and Zhou Dufu is obviously a murderer. Butchers, why do they have a golden light in the eyes of ordinary people? Because Emperor Taizong and Zhou Dufu brought them enough benefits, they drove the demons back to Xuelao City, and made people living in the Central Plains If more human beings are free from swords and wars, and from being enslaved by foreign races, then they are naturally what people want."
Su Li looked at him and asked seriously: "And what about me? I lived in a peaceful age without war, and didn't do much except kill a few demon generals. What have I done for the human world? What kind of benefits have the hunters and the people sought? Is it worth them traveling thousands of miles to help me? Just because I am powerful and invincible in the way of swordsmanship, and my bearing is extraordinary?"
It was obviously a very serious or even serious discussion or teaching, but because of the last two sentences, Chen Changsheng didn't know how to respond, and asked, "What about the southerners?"
In the general concept, Li Shan's junior uncle, Su Li, is the strongest in the southern world, and it is precisely because of his existence that the southern part can retain its last dignity and pride before the prosperous Zhou Dynasty.
"Of course there are many southerners who thank me, but there are also many southerners who hate me. As I said a few days ago, I have killed many people. Since I lived in the south since I was a child, most of the people who killed must be southerners. , They all have relatives, classmates and descendants of the same school. How could they like me? Of course, no matter how many people have hatred against me, they cannot be the mainstream, otherwise I will become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. The problem is that many years ago I once did something that disappointed the whole southern world, so more and more people don't like me."
"What's the matter?" Chen Changsheng asked curiously.
"You should have known about the massacre at the Orthodox Academy more than ten years ago."
"Know."
"Speaking of which, Taoist Ji is really your master?"
"Senior... Actually, I really don't know about this matter."
"Okay, let's get back to the point. In short, after the case of the Orthodox Academy, the pope was seriously injured, the army was in turmoil, the court was fighting, Zhou Tong killed people indiscriminately, the capital was in chaos, and your Zhou country was in a mess. In the eyes of the southerners, there is no doubt that This is the best opportunity, and I have to admit that the Longevity Sect at that time was indeed very strong, capable of competing with Li Gong."
"Then?"
"When the southerners were about to launch a few years ago, I went to the Changsheng sect for something and killed all the elders, so what they were going to do, naturally had to be done."
"Senior, this kind of secret sounds really shocking, but why do I always feel that you are praising yourself in different ways?"
"Such a tragic thing, what is there to praise."
It was rare that Su Li didn't pick up the conversation and continued to praise himself, his expression was so calm that it made one's heart palpitate.
