Aspirations

Chapter 24

Xia Xiang didn't move, Yan Hao didn't move from beginning to end, he stared at Xia Xiang without blinking, not daring to relax a little.

Although on the surface, Zhang Hou and Shen Bao are more imposing and arrogant, on the contrary, Xia Xiang is calm as water, standing aside without showing off the mountains and water. Relationship, in the whole incident, there is no sense of existence, Yan Hao knows countless people, he is the weakest and most incompetent one.But for some reason, Yan Hao always had no reason to feel that Xia Xiang was hiding an unfathomable scheming under the calm.

Yan Hao ranks among the top ten masters in Daxia. Among the top ten masters, he believes that in terms of martial arts, he is definitely not the first, but in terms of scheming, no one can match.What he is most proud of is that he is more scheming than him, and his martial arts are not as high as his.Higher than him in martial arts, he is not as scheming.Therefore, he firmly believes that one day he will become the number one master in Daxia.

And Yan Hao also very much recognized that although there is no speed in martial arts in the world, there is one thing that no matter how fast or high a martial art is, it cannot be broken, and that is scheming.Compared with scheming, no matter how high the martial arts are, there is no power to fight back.If you don't believe me, looking at history, it is not military generals who win the world in the end, but literati.In terms of martial arts, ten Liu Bangs can't compare with one Xiang Yu, but Liu Bang not only killed Xiang Yu, but also won the world and established the 400-year-old Han Dynasty.

The last time I saw Xia Xiang, Yan Hao intuitively felt that Xia Xiang was as handsome as water, but it was a deep water that was as quiet as invisible and moving like a mountain torrent.Although he wasn't sure whether Xia Xiang and Li Dingshan had anything to do with each other, he firmly believed that Xia Xiang definitely had a relationship with Li Dingshan, and maybe Xia Xiang knew about Li Dingshan's whereabouts.Because he believes that he is beyond ordinary people's keen judgment, Xia Xiang's calm and unfathomable body is very similar to Li Dingshan.

A few years ago, Yan Hao and Li Dingshan had several encounters.He is superior in martial arts and resourceful. Although he is mild-mannered and his official position is not high, his eyes are too high, and ordinary people will not take him seriously.After several contacts, he found that he could never see through Li Dingshan!

Speaking of which, Yan Hao has seen countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries, even the prince has seen many, and he has seen many first-rank and second-rank officials in the dynasty. You can observe the words and expressions to spy on the other party's mind.Only Li Dingshan is like a towering mountain, which makes people not know how many miles it stretches from a distance, and how high it is thousands of feet when viewed up close. It is unthinkable and unpredictable.

He really didn't like the feeling that he couldn't see through a person. Although the third prince, Xingwang, and the great prince, Jingwang, were high and inviolable, they also showed their emotions on their expressions, which made people guess.Gao Jianyuan is even more superficial. On the surface, he respects Gao Jianyuan, and Gao Jianyuan gives orders in everything. In fact, every decision of Gao Jianyuan is influenced by him, or proposed by him, or hinted by him. Anyway, Gao Jianyuan is just It's just a sounding tube for him. On the surface, he is carrying out Gao Jianyuan's order, but in fact he is still carrying out his own plan.

Apart from Li Dingshan, Xia Xiang was the second person he had seen, the second person he could not see clearly.But what Yan Hao knew in his heart was that compared with Li Dingshan, Xia Xiang was far worse than Li Dingshan in terms of resume and age. With Xia Xiang's age, he should not be as unfathomable as Li Dingshan.So why does he always see through Xia Xiang and always feel that there are too many secrets hidden in Xia Xiang?
As Gao Jianyuan's subordinate, he only seems to be insignificant from the seventh-rank Wuluelang, but his true identity is the head coach of the Xuanjia battalion established by the third prince, responsible for training the eight hundred mysterious soldiers of the Xuanjia battalion for the third prince.And Gao Jianyuan is only the leader of the three princes' personal soldiers. He is not qualified to join the Xuanjia Camp, and he doesn't even know the existence of the Xuanjia Camp.

No, Yan Hao stared at Xia Xiang for a long time, but he didn't see any response from Xia Xiang. He knew very well that Xia Xiang had noticed his gaze, but he was calm and pretended not to know. It was really hard for him to be so calm at such a young age. gas.However, he always felt like a light on his back, as if there was another gaze like a sharp arrow ready to go, pointing at his vital point, and once he made a slight change, an arrow would be fired.

Who is so great?It's nothing for Xia Xiang to let him figure it out, because Xia Xiang has neither murderous intent nor aggressive aura, it just makes him feel unsure, but it doesn't pose a threat to him.But the sharp arrow-like gaze contained a murderous aura, he turned his head to look, just in time to meet Xiao Wu's gaze.

It turned out to be Xia Xiang's entourage... Yan Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that an unknown master suddenly appeared, but it turned out to be an unknown junior with no martial arts.With his eyesight, it can be seen at a glance that Xiao Wu has no martial arts skills, and from Xiao Wu's angry eyes, like a puppy rushing out at any time at the master's command, it can be seen that although Xiao Wu is about seventeen or eighteen years old. years old, but the mind is still at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Xiao Wu stood three feet behind Xia Xiang, bent over and bowed his body, clenching his fists with both hands, like a leopard slaughtering its prey at any time.

Excessive aura, excessive murderous aura, and anger before anyone moves are taboos for masters. Yan Hao secretly shook his head and smiled, knowing that Xiao Wu was nothing to worry about, and his attention fell on Xia Xiang again.

Xia Xiang still stood motionless, his eyes were calm, and he still had no intention of coming forward.Yan Hao made up his mind secretly, he would stare at Xia Xiang, if Xia Xiang moved, he would move, if Xia Xiang didn't move, he would not shoot.I believe that no matter how bad Gao Jianyuan is, it is more than enough to deal with Zhang Hou and Shen Bao alone.

Yan Hao overestimated Gao Jianyuan, or in other words, he underestimated Zhang Hou and Shen Bao.

Gao Jianyuan thought that his words could shock Zhang Hou and Shen Bao, and indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hou and Shen Bao were immediately stunned.After being stunned for a moment, the two looked at each other, whispered something, and then suddenly squatted down together.

What the hell is squatting on the ground?Gao Jianyuan was confused by the strange behavior of the two, and was about to yell at the two again, when they suddenly stood up at the same time, each holding an object, raised their hands at the same time, and shouted at the same time :"watch out!"

Two dark objects flew out at the same time, and took the door of Gao Jianyuan's face.

Xia Cunxian was also bewildered by the actions of the two of them, and suddenly saw the two of them throwing two objects at the same time to attack Gao Jianyuan. He was curious and forgot to shoot at the two of them again. thing.

How could Gao Jianyuan be hit by the hidden weapons of Zhang Hou and Shen Bao? Small skills of carving insects, but also dare to make an axe..."

In the middle of the conversation, just as he got up, another object flew out, directly grabbing Xia Cunxian's chest.Gao Jianyuan was shocked, he didn't dare to neglect, he jumped three feet away with a touch of his feet, stretched and retracted his right arm, and caught the hidden weapon in his hand.

"The younger generation will sneak attacks with hidden weapons, and if you have the ability to fight me in an upright manner..." Gao Jianyuan snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows, and was triumphant, "But just because of your three-legged cat skills, you also want to fight me, Overcome... uh, ah!"

Another hidden weapon flew in, Gao Jianyuan couldn't dodge in time, he was in the middle of the door, and he was not leaning on his mouth. He was beaten back half of what he said, only to feel that his mouth was sore, and immediately swollen.

"Ah...haha, hahaha." Seeing Gao Jianyuan being hit by a hidden weapon, Xia Cun was first shocked, but when he saw what the hidden weapon was, he couldn't help laughing again, "Captain Gao, look at you. The way he looks now, with one shoe on his hand and one shoe on his mouth, is comparable to that of a juggler in Washer Goulan, haha, haha."

At this time, Gao Jianyuan realized that the hidden weapon in his hand and the hidden weapon on his mouth were each a shoe, his face was instantly black and blue, and because he was laughed at by the king, he felt even more humiliated, and he was so angry that his blood gushed up, and he couldn't care about it. Many, reaching out and grabbing the sword that Xia Cunxian had thrown on the ground earlier, shaking the sword, raised it over his shoulder, and stabbed Shen Bao's chest with a single sword.

With Gao Jianyuan's skill, Zhang Hou and Shen Bao would definitely not be teased, but the two cooperated too tacitly. The four shoes were hidden weapons, the first two flew out at the same time, the last two were one after the other, the two The second shot, including two strategies of concealing the sky and crossing the sea, and attacking the east and attacking the west, made Gao Jianyuan hard to guard against.Gao Jianyuan didn't lose because of his lack of agility, but because of the seamless cooperation between Zhang Hou and Shen Baotian.

Originally, Gao Jianyuan didn't dare to kill people in the street. He was an official, and as the leader of the personal soldiers of the three princes' palace, if someone was killed, even if the third prince came forward, it would take a lot of trouble to turn the big things into small ones.Now is an extraordinary period. If something goes wrong with him and affects the major affairs of the third prince, it is not impossible for the third prince to treat him as an abandoned son.Therefore, he has been holding back, just wanting to scare off Zhang Hou, Shen Bao and others.

He didn't want Zhang Hou and Shen Bao to act daringly, and he still refused to forgive him. The murderous intention burst out in his heart, and he couldn't care much. Anyway, with the presence of the king, it can be said that the murder was a last resort to protect the king. With the support of the king, the third prince will talk In a few words, who can take him?

Thinking like this, when Gao Jianyuan stabbed with a sword, he no longer showed mercy, and just wanted to kill Shen Bao with a single sword on the spot.

Shen Bao and Zhang Hou succeeded in the sneak attack. When the two were secretly happy, they suddenly saw Gao Jian Yuan coming to stab with his sword, killing intent like a tiger coming out of the mountain. , Once the morale was lost, and there was no fighting spirit, he was immediately frightened and stood on the spot, no longer able to fight back.

As soon as Shen Bao closed his eyes, his heart sank, and it was over. He thought that he could be a high school jinshi, serve the country and beg for the people, but he died here when he didn't want to come to Beijing.Although Zhang Hou was unwilling, he had nothing to do, and shouted: "Men's heart is like iron!"

Shi'er closed her eyes in horror. She couldn't bear to see Zhang Hou and Shen Bao splattered on the spot. She glanced at Xia Xiang with resentment, hated Xia Xiang for being cowardly, and never dared to resist.

Yan Hao didn't care if Gao Jianyuan's sword would succeed or not. He knew very well that Xia Xiang would definitely shoot. If he didn't shoot, his companions and friends would be killed on the spot. Can he just sit back and ignore it?
Yan Hao did not guess wrong, Xia Xiang really shot.No, to be precise, Xia Xiang spoke.

"Xiao Jia, why are you going to Beijing too?" Xia Xiang's eyes lit up, and he looked behind Yan Hao's shoulders, "Xiao Wu, you're overwhelmed!"

Yan Hao paid attention to Xia Xiang's every move. When he first heard Xia Xiang mention Xiao Jia, he didn't know what it was, so he instinctively looked back - there were only people watching, and there was no shadow of Xiao Jia. The body was instantly tense, and the killing intent permeated the whole body.

Xiao Wu and Xia Xiang were in the same mind. They had been waiting for a long time before Xia Xiang's order came out. He flew up, pushed his hands flat, and rushed towards Gao Jianyuan's back like an arrow. The overwhelming trend.

The reason why Xia Xiang has been standing still is not because he is cowardly or out of the way, but is looking for the best time.Not to mention the disparity in the identities of the two sides, the strengths are not the same.There is only one Gao Jianyuan, and he, Zhang Hou and Shen Bao together are not opponents.

He originally thought that Zhang Hou and Shen Bao would be enough, but what he didn't expect was that the two were young and vigorous, and they refused to say anything, and they had to ask for justice in person.If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Xia Xiang's original intention is to take a step back at this time, and he will take a long-term plan in the future. After all, regardless of power or force, his side is too far from the other side, and he is not an opponent of the same level.

Another point is that Xia Xiang was stared too closely by Yan Hao, he was still in the same place, but his back was already sweating like rain.Yan Hao's aura was too strong, making him feel like the top of Mount Tai, as if he would be crushed to pieces if he was accidentally crushed.Even if he didn't do it for a long time, in fact he was not relaxed, even more nervous than Zhang Hou and Shen Bao.

It was completely out of Xia Xiang's surprise that things had evolved into an endless situation.Xia Xiang was not only impressed by Zhang Hou and Shen Bao's courage, but also felt helpless for their impulsiveness.The anger of a single man, blood splattered five steps, why did he have to fight with King Jian for a high or low victory?Moreover, when you see the power of the king, you should avoid its edge, and it is not advisable to fight bravely, but to outsmart it.

It's just that the situation changed suddenly, and he was not allowed to think about it any more, so he could only bite the bullet.

Gao Jianyuan stabbed with a sword, and when the tip of the sword was less than a foot away from Shen Bao's chest, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, knowing that if he ignored the sword and stabbed it, although Shen Bao would splatter on the spot, he would also If you are hit by someone behind you, you will be seriously injured even if you don't die.Without thinking much, he retracted his sword and turned his body, the tip of the sword turned abruptly, and drew a beautiful sword flower in the air, stabbed it in the opposite direction, and took the sword straight to Xiao Wu's right arm.

"Pie the cloud and wear the moon." Xia Xiang knew that Gao Jianyuan's shot was ruthless, lest Xiao Wu be injured, and immediately issued another order.

The five Xiao Xiao were in the air, and suddenly stopped, turned their bodies, and made a half-circle in the air. After they landed on the ground, they bullied themselves, punched with the left hand and the right knife, and punched Gao Jianyuan's wrist, Gao Jianyuan. Unable to hold it any longer, his hand loosened, and the sword flew out of his hand.

The other palm was printed on Gao Jianyuan's left arm, and the palm of his hand threw out force, knocking Gao Jianyuan out ten feet away.

Gao Jianyuan took a few steps back, with a look of disbelief, and stood on the spot in astonishment.He couldn't believe what had just happened, and he didn't even see how Xiao Wushen was so fast. Before he could react, he was already in front of him and knocked him back with a palm, which shocked him.

Although Gao Jianyuan knew in his heart that his kung fu was not very good, he was not a swashbuckler either. As the leader of the royal family's personal soldiers, he had rich combat experience, and he fought with no less than [-] people, and his men were defeated countless times.Even against Yan Hao, he could still make more than a dozen moves, how could he be defeated by Xiao Wu in one move?Xiao Wu's martial arts are so high, so terrifying!
Gao Jianyuan was actually in a moment of confusion. Not to mention that he was fighting against Yan Hao, Yan Hao did not go all out and gave him eight points everywhere. He only said that he was repelled by Xiao Wuyi's moves, not because of how strong Xiao Wu's martial arts were. , but because Xiao Wu caught him off guard.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and when Yan Hao turned around, the dust had settled.Xia Cunxian was also inexplicably shocked, and looked at Xiao Wu blankly, his face changed several times, the anger in his heart suffocated him and he couldn't help but want to save the situation.

"Yanhao, kill him!" Xia Cun stretched out a finger, first pointing at Xiao Wu, then shaking his finger a few times, then pointing at Xia Xiang, "And him."

Yan Hao's eyes were filled with murderous aura. Killing Xia Xiang and Xiao Wu was exactly what he wanted. He responded, turned around and pulled out a weapon from the horse's back - it was a lancet.
