Of course, the only one who can easily arouse people's lust is Xia He, the Bone Scraper.
It was not Xia He's intention to get involved in these things, just like joining Huanyinfang was just a coincidence.
Hu Xiuwu guessed wrong on this point. Xia He did not enter Huanyinfang on her own initiative, but was accidentally discovered by Fanyintian to have a natural physique for charm, and was invited to join Huanyinfang by Fanyintian.
The Nine Holy Fairies of Huanyinfang are the nine orphans picked up by the empress, and they are the most talented and beautiful ones.
For a woman to be beautiful in a troubled time is as guilty as a child to possess gold.
When Fan Yintian saw Xia He's appearance, he thought of his own experience and felt sympathy for her. He casually invited Xia He to join Huanyinfang to keep each other warm.
Fan Yintian looked at Jiang Renjie who didn't dare to look up, and said with a sweet smile: "How can we cooperate with the benevolent and holy Lord Yan?"
Jiang Renjie said: "We will take the Longquan Sword, and you take Li Xingyun away."
Zhang Zifan smiled and said, "You two are thinking too simply. Miss Fanyintian, the people of Xuanming Sect are not trustworthy."
In the three-party game, only Li Xingyun had no say.
"Haha, you all treat me like a commodity. Without power, I can't control my own destiny. This is what you want to tell me! Bad Commander!"
The junior sister was poisoned and unconscious, and the scattered people were discussing her fate unscrupulously, which made Li Xingyun very angry.
But the person who made him most angry was the Bad Leader who had put him in this situation.
The only one who knew his whereabouts best was Buliang Shuai. Why was it just so coincidental that the Xuanming Sect, Tongwenguan, and Huanyinfang, which were scattered all over the country, found him on the same day?
It must be a secret plan by the Bad Leader.
The Bad Leader told Li Xingyun with the cruelest reality that empty talk without strength is nothing but smoke that will shatter at the slightest touch and you cannot control it at all.
"At least send Junior Sister out!"
No matter which side his junior sister falls into, she will become a shackle to restrain him. Li Xingyun knows Lu Linxuan, she is a proud girl, she will never accept becoming a burden to her senior brother.
Li Xingyun tightly grasped the Longquan sword, endured the pain of his ruptured meridians, and forced himself to overload the Tiangang Jue, using the last move of the Qinglian Sword Song, Jinghong, intending to fight to the death and send his junior sister out.
The wounds on Li Xingyun's body reopened, and blood and a huge amount of internal energy flowed into the Longquan sword. As Li Xingyun's internal energy poured in, Longquan seemed to ignite its aura, and when it was waved, it looked like a flag.
Ding Shimaan was like a cat teasing a mouse, he just stood there and watched Li Xingyun carry Lu Linxuan on his back and suddenly attack him, with the tip of his sword pointing at Jiang Zhaoyi, the youngest of the Jiang brothers.
Among the people present, Ding Shimaan was incredibly powerful. The people from Huanyinfang had unknown cultivation levels. Only Jiang Zhaoyi, who had just fought with Li Xingyun and had the lowest cultivation level, was the easiest to bully.
Except for Jiang Renjie, the brothers closest to Jiang Zhaoyi were all distracted by Xia He and failed to come to his rescue in time. However, Zhang Zifan from Tongwenguan stood in front of Li Xingyun.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Jin is still waiting for you at the Tongwen Pavilion."
Zhang Zifan used the fine iron ribs of the Tongwen fan to block the edge of the Longquan sword, but then his face changed drastically, and he was blasted away by a force that could destroy a city.
Li Xingyun soared into the sky, and behind him, black fog spread out from an unknown place, blocking the light of the sky.
A ghost hand stretched out from the ghost fog and grabbed Li Xingyun onto the horse's back.
The sound of horse hooves was crisp. Li Xingyun sat on the horse in a daze. The armored cavalryman behind him held the reins tightly.
The long spear is cold, the iron armor is gloomy, the ghost face is hideous, and the helmet tassels are flying.
There were many ghostly shadows in the black fog, and there seemed to be elite cavalry in the fog, standing silently behind Li Xingyun, like Li Xingyun's cloak.
All three parties were shocked. Ding Shimaan cursed inwardly, "Oh my god!", grabbed Zhang Zifan, and directly used the Earth Traveling Immortal Technique to escape out of the city.
Without saying a word, the cavalry general waved his long spear and pointed it, and behind him, swords and knives clashed.
Charge, charge, charge!
Chapter 403: Unspoken Power
Thousands of cavalrymen trampled on the city, the empty city exploded with thunder, and the rubble trembled.
It is said that street fighting is a taboo for cavalry, because the narrow alleys in the market will divide the army formation, making it difficult for cavalry to charge.
But they were ordinary cavalry, and ordinary earthen tiles and brick walls could not stop Yin Jun's personal soldiers.
The dust raised by the thousands of horses flew up and condensed in the sky above the thousands of riders, resembling the Chihu Mountain Lord stretching his body.
The pupils of the Chihu stood up, and the soldiers roared.
Several disciples of Tongwenguan who were too close to Li Xingyun were lifted up by long spears in an instant, and then were swept under the horses' hooves by the military aura and trampled into meat paste.
Even Lu Zhijie praised the smell of pork when he saw it.
Jiang Renjie was no longer in the mood to discuss cooperation, and shouted desperately to his brother:
"Run."
As for the rest of the Xuanming sect members, he had already given up on them. Not all of them had the ability to outrun the cavalry who had already increased their speed.
The cavalry charged, like painted plum blossoms along the long street.
Seeing that he was about to be caught up by the Buyan Cavalry, Jiang Zhaoyi, who had the weakest Qinggong, made a desperate effort and used the Fire Dragon Palm to attack the Buyan Cavalry general who was acting as an arrow for the army. However, he only hit a few sparks on his armor, and most of the fire palm power was shared by the army formation.
The Fire Dragon Palm, which was once so arrogant, now seems like a little snake under the claws of a Chihu, and its life is about to be cut off in the midst of play.
Seeing that his death was imminent and the sword was at his throat, Jiang Zhaoyi's face showed despair.
However, the land at his feet stretched out a hand and grabbed Jiang Zhaoyi into the ground. Following suit, the other four Yama Kings were also grabbed into the ground.
This scene, which seemed like a ghost demanding revenge, was naturally the work of Ding Shimanan, the only one here who knew the art of earth-wandering immortals.
He didn't have good intentions, he just had his eyes on the skills of the five Yama Kings.
There is nothing you can ask about a dead person.
Two of the three forces have retreated, leaving only the beautiful woman in Huanyinfang, who is like a frightened bird or a cat with its fur standing on end.
Staring at Ji Ruxue's cold and beautiful face, Li Xingyun tried to give an order to Buyanqi:
"Leave Yuzhou City!"
The Chihu phantom also roared and pounced forward.
Needless to say, the cavalry charged forward and headed straight for the east gate, like an arrow shot from a bow, without turning at all.
When encountering a house blocking the road, the Chihu raises its horn forward, like a civet cat pouncing on a toy building block. In an instant, the building collapses, and the doors and windows break and scatter in the airflow.
Fortunately, the civilians who survived in troubled times were very discerning. When Li Xingyun and the Five Yama Lords started fighting, the people on this street had already wisely dispersed.
Although buildings collapsed and trees fell, no innocent civilians were injured.
······
The fact that no one attacked Huanyinfang seemed like Li Xingyun was soft-hearted, but in fact, it was an idea he had considered carefully.
Not to mention that Lu Linxuan was poisoned and needed to find a quiet place as soon as possible to remove the poison from her.
The inexplicable appearance of these evil soldiers made Li Xingyun feel insecure.
What if he relied on the power of the ghost soldiers to show off his strength against Huanyinfang and Tongwenguan, and pursued them relentlessly, and the ghost soldiers suddenly returned to the underworld, leaving him alone here, then he would be in trouble.
It’s better to evacuate first and wait until he figures it out.
Between two points, the line segment is the shortest.
Buyanqi once again proved this truth. In a trance, the cavalry rushed to the gate of Yuzhou.
At this moment, the city gates were wide open and empty. The people were kneeling on both sides, humble as dust.
The city guards saw from afar the smoke and dust rising up like a dragon and did not dare to show their faces at all.
Under normal circumstances, the appearance of a cavalry in the city only means that there are undercover agents in the city, and quite a few of them. In this case, there is no point in resisting.
The city gate commander hid in the tower and dug out the box under the bookshelf. His followers tightly grasped the spear in their hands, trying to find some sense of security:
"General, what are you looking for? A cavalry has appeared in the city! Maybe they are sent by the King of Chu. What should we do? Should we flee or fight?"
"Humph, why fight? It's not the cavalry that appeared outside the city. If there are cavalry inside the city, maybe the governor of Yuzhou has rebelled. Of course, it's more important for us to save our lives."
After taking out the box, the city gate commander did not bother looking for the key to the copper lock on the box. He just chopped it open with a knife.
Inside the wooden box, there were flags of various forces neatly stacked.
There were flags with the words "Later Liang", "Chu", "Jin", and even "Tang".
At this moment, the separatist regimes were in power, and the speed of changing the king's flag on the city wall was shorter than the speed of his term of office. Especially during this period, it was a special period for Yuzhou City, which belonged to Shu State and was connected to Chu State.
The old King of Chu had just passed away, and the new King of Chu was ambitious. There had been frictions on the border between Shu and Chu. As the gate commander of Yuzhou, of course I had to make preparations early.
The commander of the Yuzhou city gate urged his followers, "Why don't you stick your head out and see which group of royal divisions have arrived?"
I'll be ready to lower the flag accordingly.
"General, it's great."
Since their boss did not intend to fight back, the followers became confident and happily leaned out of the city gate tower, ready to surrender at any time.
The operation of the city gate commander was like flirting with a blind man. Buyanqi did not stop to take over the city gate, but instead left Yuzhou City in a hurry.
Since they had nowhere to go after leaving Yuzhou City, Li Xingyun subconsciously ordered the ghost soldiers to march towards Jianlu.
When they were walking at the foot of Mount Lu, the ghost soldiers' bodies suddenly disappeared and turned into mountain mist.
Li Xingyun was quick-witted and quick-handed. He hugged Lu Linxuan and landed steadily on the ground, with the Longquan sword landing on his right hand side.
On the roaring dragon sword guard which was many times larger than an ordinary sword, an imaginary tiger talisman appeared in the dragon's mouth, with small seal characters flashing densely on the talisman.
The symbol of armor and weapons is on the right side of the emperor and on the left side of you. Whenever you raise soldiers to wear armor and use more than a thousand soldiers, you must show the king's symbol. When exorcising demons, even if you don't show the symbol, you can still fight.
If you raise an army in the world of the living, you must return within three quarters of an hour.
Li Xingyun exhaled: "Fortunately I didn't fight to the end, otherwise I really don't know how it would have ended."
Holding Lu Linxuan, Li Xingyun went into the mountains. Lu Linxuan still needed to detoxify, and now he couldn't go to Yuzhou City for the time being, so he could only go into the mountains to collect herbs.
Li Xingyun was most familiar with the area near Jianlu, so he could only rest here temporarily.
······
Li Xingyun outside the city has calmed down temporarily, but the people who are still alive in the city are still in shock.
Fan Yintian was stunned for a long time. After Li Xingyun had left Yuzhou City, he pulled Xia He and stammered:
"Xiao He, did you see that? There really is a group of ghost soldiers appearing beside Li Xingyun. The legend of ghost soldiers is true, so is the news about Emperor Tang's visit to the underworld also true? The underworld really exists!"
"If the ghost soldiers have appeared, then of course it's true."
Xia He's eyebrows were curved.
