Sword Qi of the heavens

Chapter 97
Broken Bridge.

Shen Lian only talked about first-class martial arts.

However, Li Changlan stepped in and rescued Pei Lun ahead of time.

He wanted to face Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying alone, as well as the masters he brought with him, no matter how you looked at it, it was a bit too reluctant.

Soon, he was defeated.

Shen Lian was covered in blood, still holding the handle of the knife with both hands.

Lu Wenzhao took a few steps forward, looked at this former colleague, and even his old friend who saved him in the Battle of Sarsh eight years ago, and said in a deep voice, "Shen Lian, I gave you a chance."

"I dare not take the opportunity of your Master Lu."

Shen Lian sneered, and wiped the corner of his mouth heavily with his sleeve, "You keep saying that you want to eradicate the eunuchs, but now you dare to kill innocent people for the sake of your status. How is this method different from the eunuchs?"

Lu Wenzhao stared into Shen Lian's eyes, and said seriously: "From the moment she knew about our plan and was willing to get involved in it, she is no longer innocent."

Shen Lian scoffed at Lu Wenzhao's defense.

"Where's Pei Lun? Isn't he innocent? Isn't he silenced by you?"

Just when Lu Wenzhao was about to answer.

suddenly.

Li Changlan's voice sounded beside them.

"Pei Lun is not only not dead, but also alive and well."

See Li Changlan appear.

Shen Lian had never dealt with Li Changlan in the past, and knew little about him, so his natural reaction was flat, only a little surprised.

On the contrary, Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying reacted most strongly.

"Li Changlan!" Ding Baiying gritted her teeth and said.

"Well, it's me. What's wrong, Miss Ding?" Li Changlan blinked and asked with a light smile.

"Why did you appear here?" Ding Baiying tensed up, holding the handle of the knife with all her strength, but the slight trembling of her arms betrayed the truest thoughts in her heart.

"I didn't want to come at first, but Mr. Wei's offer is so generous that it's hard to refuse." Li Changlan came to Ding Baiying's side, stood side by side with him, and looked at her with a smile on his face.

When Li Changlan spoke, his voice was soft and gentle, which should have given people an extremely comfortable feeling.

Ding Baiying felt a chill for no reason.

Paused.

Perhaps Li Changlan felt that his expression was not clear enough, so he lightly added another sentence.

"By the way, he told me that the target is all of you."

Hear what Li Changlan said.

Lu Wenzhao smiled self-deprecatingly, and collapsed on the ground as if accepting his fate.

Li Changlan came to Lu Wenzhao's side, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and asked, "Will you follow me honestly, or should I take you away?"

Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying were silent and did not respond.

Only Shen Lian seemed to be aware of the abnormality of Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying, holding the Xiuchun knife with both hands in front of him.

"Shen Lian, do you want to fight with me?" Li Changlan asked with her head tilted slightly.

"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Li Changlan's martial arts are rare in the world. Unfortunately, although I, Shen Lian, have a low official position, I have always been very satisfied with my martial arts. Before I died, I dared to ask you for advice!"

Shen Lian's eyes burst out with a strong fighting intent, and now he doesn't care about life, as if he might attack Li Changlan at any moment.

Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying looked at Shen Lian as if they were looking at an idiot.

"Shen Lian!"

Beizhai, who had already left, came back at some point. She stood in the middle of the suspension bridge and yelled at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian turned around and saw this familiar figure, his pupils shrank.

"Why are you coming back?!"

Don't wait for him to say another word.

Li Changlan snatched the long knife from Ding Baiying's hand.

Under the astonished gazes of Lu Wenzhao, Ding Baiying and others, they raised the blade with one hand, and slashed at Shen Lian's back casually!

Stab it!

The entire Jinyiwei armor was torn apart.

Shen Lian's back was bleeding profusely, and a hideous knife wound appeared, which spread almost from top to bottom.

Shen Lian, who had gone through a lot of fighting, didn't have much physical strength left.

Li Changlan's simple and unpretentious stabbing made him completely lose his ability to fight. Shen Lian lay on the ground and couldn't even use the strength to stand up.

Dizziness, severe pain, and all kinds of negative feelings are used like a flood.

With his last breath, he looked at Li Changlan angrily.

"You, you actually sneak attack, despicable!"

The corners of Ding Baiying's mouth twitched slightly, not daring to speak clearly.

But just by looking at her expression, she probably agrees with Shen Lian's words.

With Li Changlan's strength in a head-to-head confrontation, not to mention a mere Shen Lian, I am afraid that ten or hundreds of them can easily win, why use this method to defeat the opponent?
Li Changlan seemed to see Ding Baiying's inner activities.

Holding the handle of the knife with one hand, he returned the long knife to Ding Baiying.

"With his unsightly and humble strength, it's too early to challenge me one-on-one."

"I beat him in this way, which can also give him the illusion that I won by sneak attack. You can take it as a kind of kindness from me to the weak."

Ding Baiying heard the nonsense in Li Changlan's mouth.

She suddenly realized that everything she and her senior knew about Li Changlan was obtained from the descriptions of outsiders, which was too one-sided and superficial, and it was difficult to confirm the authenticity of a large part of the news.

At least until now, she has never really realized what kind of person Li Changlan is, and what kind of thoughts he has in mind to join Wei Zhongxian's party.

Lu Wenzhao laughed at himself when he saw that Shen Lian, whom he regarded as an important opponent, was brought down by Li Changlan in such a ridiculous way.

He clasped his fists and cupped his hands towards Li Changlan.

"Master Li's broad-mindedness is really extraordinary, and I admire you."

"Well, what you said is good. It sounds much better than Pei Lun. I will say this today, and I won't kill you." Li Changlan looked at him from the corner of his eye, and his heart was already in Fusi Prison in Beizhen. He reserved a single room.

Seeing Bei Zhai appear, it was on the other side of the bridge.

Xu Xianchun, who was hiding in the dark, appeared from the appearance with a group of soldiers and horses, and slowly fell to Li Changlan's side.

"Master Li, that Beizhai is a felon of the imperial court. She must not be allowed to escape."

Li Changlan nodded slightly upon hearing Xu Xianchun's reminder.

He continued to walk a few steps forward, and then stood still in front of the bridge. His voice was not very loud, but it was extremely clear, and it appeared in everyone's ears at the same time.

"You'd better come here honestly, lest I go to find you."

Beizhai saw Shen Lian being chopped down by Li Changlan with his own eyes. Li Changlan, who met for the first time, had already been identified by her as someone who also wanted to take her life.

How could she listen to Li Changlan, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Ding Baiying looked at Bei Zhai, she was always a woman, and unlike Lu Wenzhao who was bent on doing great things, she still had a trace of kindness deep in her heart.

She glanced at Li Changlan and shouted in the direction of Beizhai.

"Miss Beizhai, don't run away. This is the end of the matter. What you do will be futile. If you come back obediently, you may still survive!"

Seeing Ding Baiying's actions, Li Changlan was even more satisfied.

With strength and appearance, at least even now he still maintains a trace of kindness that is extremely rare.

Think carefully.

If he kicked out the useless Pei Lun who was lying on Nanzhen Fusi's bed, and replaced him with Ding Baiying who was obviously much more pleasing to the eye and the eye than the former in every aspect.

Seems good too?
However, Shen Lian obviously didn't know Ding Baiying well, and thought that Ding Baiying was afraid that Bei Zhai would escape, and used words to trick him into returning.

With the last of his strength, he raised his head and shouted to urge Beizhai to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Li Changlan shook his head helplessly.

"Master Xu, give me a longbow."
