Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 425 Golden Knife
It was only then that Li Wenxuan realized that he had slipped the tongue by mistake, but thinking about it, it would not be harmful to Tie Ling'er and the Marshal's Mansion even if it was revealed, so everything from his sneaking into the Marshal's Mansion that night was probably related to the assassin. Although he revealed his relationship with Tie Ling'er, he kept silent about recuperating at Mingzhu's place.

He Ji frowned deeply in thought, obviously he was quite concerned about this moment. Although he knew that Jin Wushu and Wan Yanchang had always been at odds, he did not expect that the enmity between the two sides would be so serious. Come on, behind this incident, I don’t know how many mysteries will be hidden, He Ci patted his thigh heavily, and said: "It’s really unpleasant." Then he said to Li Wenxuan: "You must never forget this matter." Keep it a secret, not only you can't mention it to others, but also don't let Jin Wushu know that you told me."

Li Wenxuan said: "Don't worry, I will never tell others."

Then He Ji and Li Wenxuan scolded Taoist Juechen again, and He Ji saw the whip wound on Li Wenxuan's face, and asked, "Hey, who gave you this slap on your face? My impression is Inside, these few competitions, it seems that you haven't suffered a loss yet, right?"

Li Wenxuan was a little embarrassed, but he did not hide or stab, and said honestly: "Actually, this is a whip given to me by Mingzhu."

"Pearl?" He Ci actually bent his waist with a smile, and said with a smile: "You really have, she didn't give you the wine of affection for nothing, brother, be careful in the future, today is the horsewhip, another day, maybe But it's a knife!" As he spoke, he gestured at Li Wenxuan's heart.

Li Wenxuan's heart trembled, and he felt that what he said was right. If Mingzhu gets angry one day, it is possible to come and take his own life, and Mingzhu does not play cards in secret, and now she is looking down and not looking up. It can be said that it is impossible to guard against , Li Wenxuan didn't say anything, but secretly warned himself to be careful in the future.

The Golden Knife Test ended, but the wilderness failed to return to tranquility. There were piles of bonfires beating, roasting tender lamb legs, men drinking fine wine, and girls dancing. The grassland at night has a special flavor. .

Li Wenxuan and He Ci talked and chatted until the sky became dark, and then they gave up. Li Wenxuan got out of He Ci's big tent, and saw a black horse tied beside him, but a lot of wine bags had already been stuffed behind the saddle , You don't need to think about it, it's naturally sent by He Ji.Li Wenxuan patted the black horse and said, "Brother Ma, thank you very much for today, if it weren't for your help, I would be in danger!"

Li Wenxuan led the black horse and walked towards his camp, Long Jun's long sword and the golden knife given by He Shi hung on his waist.Li Wenxuan was only focused on talking before, and now he has time to watch carefully. The scabbard and handle are made of pure gold, and countless jewels and jades are inlaid on the scabbard, especially the two luminous pearls on the left and right in the middle. It looks more and more dazzling in the night.

"Brush—" The golden knife was out of its sheath, and there was a cold light on the face, which made people feel that the moonlight in front of them was a little frozen. Li Wenxuan couldn't help sighing: "It really is a good knife, and it may not be much different from the Qingshuang Sword."

Li Wenxuan walked all the way, whether they were acquaintances or strangers, many people were greeting Li Wenxuan. Li Wenxuan was also in a good mood, so naturally he would not refuse anyone who came. Seeing that Li Wenxuan had no airs, everyone was more than willing to make friends with him.

Li Wenxuan was thinking about sending Long Jun's sword back first, but he was not seen in the tent. After asking the guards, he found out that Jin Wushu had given everyone a holiday. Now a group of people were eating barbecue outside. Li Wenxuan followed the directions given by the guards. , and soon found them, apart from Mingzhu, Atu, Agui, and everyone from Yanyun Shibaqi were all there.

Feiyun's eyes were sharp, he saw Li Wenxuan first, and immediately shouted: "Hey, hurry up and tell the brothers to look at the golden knife too, so that you can get some light!"

Li Wenxuan sat down beside Feiyun, handed him the golden knife, and returned the long sword to Long Jun.Long Jun smiled and said: "You broke two of my swords, and finally I saved the third one, alas, it is really not easy." Then he swept his eyes on the golden knife, and said: "How about Give me this golden knife, it will be considered as compensation for my two long swords!"

Li Wenxuan didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Succeed, I will give you this golden knife. Besides, I would like to thank you for lending me the sword today!"

Long Jun was taken aback, he was just joking, but he didn't expect Li Wenxuan to agree so readily, on the contrary he seemed a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm joking, don't take it seriously, if you give me this golden knife But it was ruined."

Feiyun sized it up for a while, and praised: "It really is a good sword, and the treasured sword is given to the hero, it is really true!"

Chasing the moon was originally a swordsman, and after taking the golden sword, he praised it again and again, and then the golden sword was passed around among the people, and finally returned to Li Wenxuan's hands. Li Wenxuan said: "This is indeed a good sword, but unfortunately I don't Using a knife is of little use in my hands."

Not long after, Li Wenxuan was having a lively chat with Zhuiyue. Zhuiyue used the golden knife to talk about various sword techniques with Li Wenxuan. Li Wenxuan listened with great interest, but suddenly he heard someone say: "Li Wenxuan, Princess Yilan invites you Go there!"

Everyone was startled, and when they turned around, they saw that the person who spoke was Mingzhu, Li Wenxuan Zhang Erjingang was puzzled, and he didn't know any princess, what was she doing with him at night, but before Li Wenxuan could ask, Mingzhu turned around and left .

Longqiang coughed and said in a low voice, "You better go, this princess...is not easy to mess with."

Li Wenxuan felt bad in his heart, and looked at Longqiang's weird eyes, and he didn't want to go, but the princess had already let go, and Li Wenxuan couldn't do it if he didn't go, so he had to put the golden knife in his arms resentfully, and chased after the pearl. up.

Mingzhu was not walking fast, Li Wenxuan chased after Mingzhu about a foot away and stopped moving forward, just followed quietly, but Mingzhu didn't go to the princess' tent, but went to Li Wenxuan's residence, called Li Wenxuan Lead the horse and follow her.

Li Wenxuan felt that there was something strange in it, but as soon as he opened his mouth to test Mingzhu's tone, Mingzhu said that it was the princess's order, and blocked Li Wenxuan's words.Then Mingzhu led Li Wenxuan out of the camp on horseback, and ran towards the sand dunes last night. Li Wenxuan expected that the princess would never see him here, so he stepped up and took the reins of Mingzhu, and asked: "Where is this?" It wasn't the princess who asked me to come!"

Mingzhu said indifferently: "It's just ahead." After that, Li Wenxuan was thrown off, and Li Wenxuan had no choice but to follow up again.When they got to the place, they saw a leg of lamb roasted on top of a fire, sizzling with mutton fat, and it seemed that the heat was just right.Mingzhu tied the reins of the two horses together and said, "Come down!"

Li Wenxuan said angrily, "Where's the princess?"

Mingzhu said: "The princess has gone to bed now, do you want to go and have a look?"

Li Wenxuan blushed, and scolded: "Nonsense!"

Mingzhu giggled, moved closer to Li Wenxuan, and said, "Today, I want you to come and take off my veil yourself."

Seeing that Mingzhu was only a foot away from him, the two could hear each other's breathing, and could even hear each other's heartbeat, Li Wenxuan's head felt hot, but then he calmed down again, and said, "Miss Mingzhu, don't do this anymore, Not good for anyone, really."

Mingzhu looked at Li Wenxuan in disappointment, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Where is your golden knife, show me." However, Mingzhu's tone was polite at all, and her actions were even more impolite, not waiting for Li Wenxuan to take the knife , Mingzhu reached into Li Wenxuan's arms by herself, and took out the golden knife.

Li Wenxuan saw that Mingzhu's eyes were shining when she looked at the golden knife, and secretly laughed in her heart that she was so greedy for money, so she said, "If you like it, take it!"

Mingzhu was overjoyed and said, "Really? I wanted your Qingshuang Sword in the past, but you refused to give it to me, why are you so generous now?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Why did I lie to you? If you like this golden knife, you can just take it. I wanted to give it to Long Jun just now, but he refused to accept it."

The joy in Mingzhu's eyes was scattered, and she said with a somewhat contemptuous tone: "It turns out that someone else didn't want it, so you just remembered to give it to me. You should keep it for yourself!" After finishing speaking, she threw the golden knife at Li Wenxuan's feet side.

Li Wenxuan didn't expect to offend her with a casual remark, so he was cruel and said, "Then I'm leaving." Just as he was about to bend over to pick up the golden knife, Mingzhu swayed, grabbed the golden knife in his hand, and followed Without saying a word, he slashed at Li Wenxuan.Li Wenxuan didn't have the slightest precautions, Mingzhu struck out the knife quickly, Li Wenxuan just kept hiding, and accidentally fell on his back, fortunately there was sand below, otherwise his ass would have been choked.

Li Wenxuan shouted: "What are you going to do!" Mingzhu didn't care about him, followed by another knife, Li Wenxuan retreated again and again, and said: "If you come back, I will fight back!" , It turned out that he didn't bring a weapon when he came out.

Mingzhu naturally didn't intend to give up, and made several moves in a blink of an eye. Fortunately, Li Wenxuan was good at avoiding all of them, and took the opportunity to stand up. In this way, even if Li Wenxuan didn't have a weapon in his hand and only relied on his footwork to dodge, Mingzhu couldn't take it. any cheap.

Mingzhu chased Li Wenxuan around the fire for a while, then suddenly clutched her stomach, groaned, and fell to the ground motionless, Li Wenxuan was already three feet away from Mingzhu, she didn't expect such a situation to happen, and she thought Mingzhu was in a hurry Under the breath, he hurriedly helped Mingzhu up, and asked: "Mingzhu, what's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, Mingzhu's eyes widened suddenly, full of cunning, Li Wenxuan's heart was not good, but it was too late, Mingzhu had already tapped the golden knife on Li Wenxuan's back without anyone noticing.

Mingzhu chuckled and said, "You lost!"

Li Wenxuan suffered from being dumb, and said helplessly: "Yes, I lost, what do you want?"

Mingzhu took the saber away and said, "I have defeated you, so I snatched your golden saber from you, not from you!"

Li Wenxuan couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect Mingzhu to spend so much effort just to get this knife, and he was willing to give it to her. I don't know why she made such a big circle, Li Wenxuan said: "Okay, you won, this knife I lost the golden knife to you."

Mingzhu's face stretched immediately, she helped Li Wenxuan stand up, and said, "That's good, come on, the roast leg of lamb should be just right."

Li Wenxuan originally planned to leave, but being pulled so hard by Mingzhu, he could only sit down with her. Mingzhu put down a piece of tender mutton with a golden knife, and brought it to Li Wenxuan's mouth with a golden knife. Said: "Try it."

Li Wenxuan was not afraid that Mingzhu would stab him with a knife, but felt that this was too embarrassing, and was about to refuse, but Mingzhu said first: "What? Don't you dare to defeat me?"

After being so excited, Li Wenxuan had no choice but to open his mouth, Mingzhu carefully sent the meat to Li Wenxuan's mouth, Li Wenxuan chewed it, and the taste was really good.

Mingzhu stopped persuading Li Wenxuan, just ate a few pieces by herself, and stopped messing around with Li Wenxuan. For a while, the sand dunes were very quiet.

Mingzhu patted her stomach, she seemed to be full after saying this, then took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, leaned in front of Li Wenxuan again, and asked, "Did I hurt you in the morning? I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay...it doesn't hurt a long time ago." Li Wenxuan responded to this vaguely, but everyone knew that it was no wonder that the whip was on the face and it didn't hurt.

"Don't move, I'll give you the medicine." Mingzhu didn't care whether Li Wenxuan agreed or not, took some white oil from the porcelain bottle in the palm of her hand, warmed it up, and then applied it on Li Wenxuan's face little by little. He breathed lightly at the scar on Li Wenxuan's face.

With the beautiful woman at the side, the jade finger at the side, the fragrance blowing on the face, the face is cool, the ears are itchy, and the heart is chaotic, Li Wenxuan dare not move a little, for fear that if he can't help it, he will do something wrong, but then The side face, which was red to the ears, completely betrayed him.

Mingzhu laughed coquettishly and said, "You are so worthless."

Li Wenxuan took a deep breath and said, "Mingzhu... Mingzhu, the Golden Sword Test is over, and I will leave in a few days."

"What!" Mingzhu was stunned for a long time, and finally whispered: "Take me, I will go with you, I will follow you to the ends of the earth, no matter where you go."

Looking at Mingzhu's clear eyes, and then hearing the sentence "I'll go with you, I'll follow you to the ends of the earth." Li Wenxuan couldn't help but want to nod to her, but Li Wenxuan knew it was impossible to do so, so he just calmed down and said: "No, you and Song Jin are different. Although I can ride a horse with you now, sit down and drink together, but one day, we will still meet on the battlefield, so...Miss Mingzhu, you should forget about me."

Li Wenxuan untied the dead button on the rein, and was about to get on the horse, but Mingzhu said again: "I don't care who is a Song person or a Jin person, I will follow you, I will do what you do, I will not do it for you The golden man, could it be...isn't this also okay?"

I don't know where a gust of wind came from. Looking at Li Wenxuan's distant figure, Mingzhu felt a little unsteady and almost fell down in the wind. Seeing that Li Wenxuan didn't have the slightest intention of turning back, Mingzhu felt that her heart was blown by the autumn wind. Torn into pieces, Mingzhu couldn't figure out what was wrong with her, she was outstanding in appearance, she had been doted on since she was a child, there were countless people who liked her, but no one looked down on her, In the end, by accident, she fell in love with such a former enemy, but this enemy often ignored her, Mingzhu's whole body went limp, and she slumped on the ground, bewildered.

There was another sound of horseshoes, and Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that it was Li Wenxuan, she murmured, "I knew you came back, you have me in your heart, right?"

Li Wenxuan flew from the horse and jumped directly to Mingzhu's side, hugged Mingzhu off the sand dune, and said, "Be careful, the situation tonight is not right!"

Seeing Li Wenxuan's serious expression, Mingzhu was not joking with herself, but anyway, Li Wenxuan finally came back, and she was also happy in her heart. She hugged Li Wenxuan and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Li Wenxuan didn't pay attention to Mingzhu's movements, and said, "Why do so many soldiers and horses suddenly appear around here? Did the emperor send them here?"

"Soldiers and horses?" Mingzhu immediately got out of the confused thoughts and asked, "What soldiers and horses? Where are they?"

Li Wenxuan pulled Mingzhu to the sand dunes, and saw a dark figure in the distance, marching towards the camp in the middle, the night was blurry, but a rough estimate, the number of these soldiers and horses was probably at least [-] to [-]. And they came from all directions, and they were generally narrowing the encirclement in the direction of Emperor Luanjia step by step.

Mingzhu shouted: "Not good, there is a change in the army, I have to go back and inform the emperor immediately!"

Li Wenxuan said: "I don't think they have any intention of doing anything for a while. You go back first. I'll watch here to see what the trick is. You...you must be careful, don't be discovered by them!"

The two of them worked together to put out the fire of the barbecue, but unfortunately, before eating a few mouthfuls of a good leg of lamb, Mingzhu got on the horse and said: "You must not fight with them, there are too many of them, I will go back After reporting the letter, I will come to you immediately!"

Li Wenxuan patted her on the shoulder and said, "Be obedient, don't come to me again. It's much easier for me to hide or get away by myself. It's inconvenient if there are two people."

Mingzhu responded in a low voice, then suddenly tiptoed, raised her red lips, pressed lightly on Li Wenxuan's lips, and said: "I listen to you." Afterwards, she hurried away.

Li Wenxuan touched the taste of Mingzhu on his lips, feeling a lot of emotions.After hiding the black horse behind the sand dunes, under the cover of night, he quietly approached a place in front of which seemed to be a handsome flag, trying to find out who set up this formation.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and the moon didn't know where it was hidden. Li Wenxuan walked forward for a while, but he still couldn't see what was written on the big flag, but these soldiers and horses walked forward for a while Afterwards, they surrounded and did not enter, and there was no other movement for a while.
