The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

On the city wall, the atmosphere was stagnant.

Looking at Fang Xun's smiling face, Bai Shanyi felt a chill in his heart.

He had thought many times that when he saw Fang Xun, he would be righteous and rebuke him for his crimes, making him feel ashamed.

But now that I really saw it, my body began to tremble uncontrollably, my face turned pale and blue, and I wanted to speak, but found that I didn't have the courage.

Liu Zhengwu stood with his hands behind his back, expressionless, and said nothing.

His eyes collided with Fang Xun's in the air, and even the soldiers nearby noticed that the atmosphere was wrong. They found that there was an extra person on the top of the city wall who was confronting Liu Zhengwu.

All the soldiers dared not make a sound, for fear that the noise they made would explode the air and cause the two to start a war.

The silence did not last long. Liu Zhengwu suddenly smiled and finally broke the deadlock.

"My Lord, you really love to joke. The King of Yue is loyal to the court and is a close minister of our Great Xuan. How could he possibly have any evil intentions?"

call--

After Liu Zhengwu spoke, the atmosphere immediately eased, but before others could breathe a sigh of relief, Fang Xun's next words made them nervous again.

He just looked at Bai Shanyi who dared not move and said.

“Haha, you see, when others think you are going to rebel, you’d better actually have the strength to rebel.

This way, even if I really want to rebel, the court will have to say that I am a loyal and devoted minister and reward me generously to appease me, so that I can wait for a while until the court is ready before taking action! "

"Traitor! What a traitor! How dare you confuse right and wrong so arrogantly. Is there no law in this world? "

Bai Shanyi's body was shaking violently and his face was pale. It was unclear whether he was angry or frightened.

The smile on Liu Zhengwu's face disappeared again, and Fang Xun's next sentence made his face change drastically again.

"Bai Shanyi, I understand that you want to avenge that old man Wang Zhengde, but it's a pity that you are a little too impatient.

It's a pity that I don't want to bother with you, but General Liu was forced to kill you immediately. Otherwise, if you were left alive and talking nonsense everywhere, people in the world would think that General Liu had evil intentions just like me."

choke--

As soon as the words fell, a cold knife light appeared and attacked Bai Shanyi directly. For a moment, the cold air spread everywhere, and flakes of frost condensed and spread in the air.

Liu Zhengwu actually took action!

But just as the knife was about to cut Bai Shanyi in two, Fang Xun suddenly stretched out his hand and lightly tapped it, and the knife light immediately dissipated, leaving only cold air all around and frost on the ground.

With a thud, Bai Shanyi collapsed to the ground. His brush with death made his body tremble even more violently.

"I was just joking, why are you so anxious, General Liu?"

Liu Zhengwu looked at Fang Xun's smiling face and was silent for a while. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his cold face.

"It turned out to be just a joke. I was really scared. I said that the Marquis and His Royal Highness the King of Yue were both loyal subjects of our Great Xuan. How could they really be treasonous? But the Marquis had better not make such jokes. It is easy to cause death."

"Haha, it's me, Meng Lang."

Fang Xun no longer paid attention to Bai Shanyi, walked to Liu Zhengwu and looked at him.

"I received an urgent document from General Liu a few days ago. We were supposed to gather our troops and come to Hongfengkou together, but now not only is the military situation in Hongfengkou urgent, but the rest of us are tied up, so I have to come here alone."

"Oh, what happened?" Liu Zhengwu asked in surprise.

He reflexively doubted Fang Xun's words, but then he thought, if he was really perfunctory, Fang Xun would not come here in person, and he could just send him away with a letter. Facing Liu Zhengwu's inquiring eyes, Fang Xun sighed.

"General Liu, you have also noticed the change in inspiration, right?"

Liu Zhengwu's face suddenly darkened: "My Lord, is it true that the capital city..."

Fang Xun nodded heavily: "Two days ago, not long after I set out on my journey, the palace received an imperial edict, but the person who issued the edict was not His Majesty, but the eldest prince!"

Liu Zhengwu's face darkened even more, and Bai Shanyi, who was slumped on the ground nearby, widened his eyes and felt dizzy. He was unable to accept this fact for a moment.

"Beijing, is it really over?"

But Fang Xun ignored him and continued to speak to Liu Zhengwu.

"To tell you the truth, General Liu, not only is the Miao army coming aggressively, but there are also unusual movements in western Hunan. Three hundred thousand troops are waiting in Zezhou, and they may rush into Jiangzhou at any time!

Therefore, the soldiers of the palace cannot come to Hongfengkou to help, and apart from me, I can only hope that the three people from Dajiang League, Broken Sword Villa, and Xiayi Town can come to Hongfengkou to fight against the foreign enemies together."

In an instant, Liu Zhengwu's expression changed completely.

"King Chu, how could it be?!"

"Nothing is impossible. King Chu is the Emperor Mountain of the Black Water Abyss!"

Liu Zhengwu felt extremely complicated. He felt that the world suddenly became very strange.

The capital fell overnight, and then Jiangnan was surrounded by foreign enemies. Not only that, but Fang Xun, a "traitor" who he didn't even want to play, was right in front of him.

But he had to openly deny this and call the other party a close and loyal minister.

Otherwise, if he really lets the other party do what a traitor should do, not only will his own life be in danger, but the prelude to chaos in the world and the struggle for supremacy will also be unveiled.

For a moment, Liu Zhengwu felt a chill in his heart and felt that the heavy pressure made him breathless.

Seeing that he had fallen silent, Fang Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry. The invasion of the Miaojiang and Chu King armies is just a bluff. Let me go and see their quality first, and then talk to General Liu in detail."

After saying this, without paying attention to the other party's reaction, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the position of the Miao army.

Liu Zhengwu looked at Fang Xun walking away with a complicated expression, then looked at Bai Shanyi who was slumped on the ground nearby with a dazed look on his face, and sighed.

"Go ahead. The farther the better."

Bai Shanyi came to his senses at this moment, a look of shame and anger suddenly flashed across his face, his fists clenched tightly, his fingernails digging deeply into the flesh.

"How dare Fang Xun, the bastard, humiliate me like this!"

Sometimes, compared to death, ignoring is the most heartbreaking and the most devastating thing.

Fang Xun's disdainful attitude of killing made Bai Shanyi, who usually prided himself on his talent and wisdom, feel deeply hurt.

But soon, his expression calmed down. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed to Liu Zhengwu.

"Thank you, General Liu, for saving my life. I will leave Hongfengkou now. I hope you will be careful to guard against that thief!"

After saying this, Bai Shanyi left the place quickly without any hesitation and walked towards the city gate on the other side of Hongfengkou. His fists were clenched so tightly along the way that his flesh was pierced by his nails.

Liu Zhengwu looked at his back and shook his head, then turned his gaze towards the Miao frontier position. (End of this chapter)
