Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 462 The Years in the Mountains
In the early morning light, the Xixia military camp, which had been silent for less than half the night, became uneasy again. After Juechen decided to go up the mountain alone, Hu Yanlei did not rest anymore, and ordered several generals to prepare for the battle in the camp. As long as Juechen discovers Li Wenxuan's hiding place, he will come down the mountain to report the news. At that time, the army will immediately go up the mountain. Thousands of soldiers plus Juechen, a master, will surely capture Li Wenxuan. For an hour... There was no news of Juechen, and the dragon ji who went up the mountain by itself was also silent.

Hu Yanlei wandered restlessly in the tent, and when it was dawn, he finally realized that the situation on the mountain was not good, but he was a little uncertain, because he knew Juechen's martial arts, and maybe Juechen's martial arts didn't dare to say anything. Rivalry, but no one in the Jianghu can stop him, and Hu Yanlei has never heard of anyone who Juechen has lost to. Of course, Juechen suffered a secret loss under Li Wenxuan, so naturally he would not tell Hu Yan Ray's.So in Huyanlei's eyes, if there was an accident on the mountain, he didn't agree in his heart, but as time passed, Huyanlei finally didn't dare to wait any longer, because of Juechen's identity. It was too special, he didn't dare to risk Juechen's life, if something happened to Juechen, it would definitely affect his official career.So, under Huyanlei's tense expression, rows of Xixia soldiers approached the mountain again...

Halfway up the mountain, the two people watching the sunrise are cuddling together. These two people have spent the past many days in the shadow of swords and blood, their clothes are stained with blood, and they have to face murder and death every day. The choice of being killed is a cat-and-mouse game with the soldiers at the bottom of the mountain every day, but no matter when, neither of them said a bitter word, but they both understand each other, whether it is good for themselves or the other party, in Surviving in such a situation is not only tiring, but also a kind of inner torture.

Seeing the joy after Juechen fell off the cliff with his own eyes, and the sadness brought about by Longji and Juechen dying together, although the two of them might not be able to bear it at the time, the warm morning light gradually faded away , because for Longji, such a result is probably a good ending for him.

Not long after, Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu, who were sitting quietly on the edge of the cliff, spotted the teams of Xixia soldiers going up the mountain almost at the same time. They looked at each other, and then sighed together again, but it was not because of worry or fear, it was just a pity that the peaceful sunrise in the early morning was broken by Xixia soldiers. Said to be incomparably precious, but also extremely luxurious.

The two sat on the cliff for a while, seeing the Xixia soldiers getting closer and closer, and they were about to enter the shooting range of the Xixia soldiers, so Li Wenxuan had no choice but to help Mingzhu up, and said: "Let's go first, and we will come back later." There are many opportunities to watch the sunrise with you, and we want to watch the sunrise by the sea and Mount Tai together!"

"Yeah!" Mingzhu nodded obediently, and then followed Li Wenxuan to walk up the mountain without any haste. Linyuan narrow road, Li Wenxuan unceremoniously picked up Mingzhu and jumped over. Although Mingzhu would not be in any danger up the mountain by herself, she still let Li Wenxuan help her like this. She felt that it felt good, after all Even though she is good at martial arts, she is still a girl of cardamom age, no matter what she looks like, she hopes to be loved and loved by others. The feeling now is like a weak little daughter-in-law who is cared for by her husband.

The two went up the mountain all the way, but the Xixia soldiers behind were a little dumbfounded. The Xixia soldiers originally went up the mountain very fast, but when they saw Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu, they couldn't help slowing down, because the two went up the mountain a little too calmly. Under the eyes of hundreds of people, these two people talked and laughed as if there was no one else, as if they were spreading, and they didn't take these Xixia soldiers seriously. Fighting, or in other words, some powerful mechanism has been set up in the Shangshan Department, waiting for him to send it to his door.But no matter what everyone guessed, before the arrival of the brigade, these Xixia soldiers were always within a stone's throw away from Li Wenxuan, especially in many places on the mountainside, there were more or less remnants of the previous two days' fighting. The traces of blood, the blood-stained rocks, the knife marks that should have smashed the flesh and blood, but ended up on the bluestone, and the broken weapons scattered in the cracks of the stone. At that time, none of these Xixia soldiers who followed were willing to be the one who got beaten.

However, Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu's actions on the calm mountain did not have the slightest intention to deceive, they were all unintentional, because after the previous few days of fighting and several life-and-death struggles, looking back at the more than 100 soldiers , in the eyes of the two of them, it seems that it is no longer an important matter. It is very easy for Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu to escape among them, and compared with the previous fights, this scene is really nothing. People fight tigers every day, but today they are suddenly asked to fight with a child, but this person loses interest.So now that they met these Xixia soldiers, the two of them won the aura directly, so why bother to run away in panic?On the contrary, it would be better for the two of them to chat and laugh leisurely all the way. As long as Xixia Bingbu walked too close, Li Wenxuan would not provoke them, especially at this moment in the particularly warm morning light, it is even more so in people's bodies and in their hearts. Warm and warm, my mind was extremely quiet for a while, and I even couldn't bear to think about fighting these days. Even a little bit of bloody fluctuation in my heart was afraid of destroying the aura of heaven and earth at this moment.

In this way, more than 100 Xixia soldiers followed Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu to the top of the mountain, and then watched Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu jump down the cliff on the top of the mountain with their own eyes.

The Xixia soldiers were silent for a while, and many Xixia soldiers were rubbing their eyes. They couldn't understand that these two people were trapped in a tight siege. It was understandable that they wanted to commit suicide, but if they wanted to jump off the cliff, forget it. It is enough to be on the cliff, enough to kill people, why waste so much energy running to the top of the mountain to jump?In bewilderment and doubt, Xixia soldiers rushed to the edge of the cliff, looking down continuously, and finally someone with sharp eyes saw the sunken cave entrance...

Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu did not lose their heads and deliberately brought the Xixia soldiers to their hiding place, but because they knew that Juechen fell off the cliff and the dragon halberd died. But for the people in the cave, even if the soldiers above were hanging ropes, they could only swing at the entrance of the cave. There was no way to really enter the entrance of the cave, so the two of them were so calm.

When he arrived at the cave, Li Wenxuan asked Mingzhu to sit down, and then he handed over the dried meat he got at the foot of the mountain to Mingzhu, and went to the cave to check again, and reconfirmed that the Xixia soldiers were not sure about entering the cave, so he was relieved.

In the cave, Mingzhu first complained to Li Wenxuan a little bit angrily, which probably meant that Li Wenxuan shouldn't take the risk of sneaking into the barracks, and shouldn't be so risky about his life. Laughing, in the end Mingzhu's staring eyes and red face, she was still pulled into Li Wenxuan's arms, no matter whether she was happy, angry or sad, everything turned into a soft voice.

In the tent of the Chinese army at this moment, Hu Yanlei was sitting on the top chair with a frosty complexion, holding his sword tightly, his eyes were constantly shooting out angry flames, and several lieutenants stood aside, none of them dared to speak loudly.

On the table in front of Huyanlei, there was a long sword with gossip runes painted on the hilt, the blood on the blade was still wet, and Juechen's hacking number could be seen on the blade in the faint blood. Just now when the soldiers were searching on the mountain, they found it and sent it to the camp immediately. When Hu Yanlei saw Juechen's sword, his face was ashen. As a warrior, Lei is clear, especially for a master like Juechen, his sword may be his life. Now there is a long sword left on the cliff, but Juechen is missing. Huyanlei has already guessed the worst result , the deputy generals under him also understood, but the generals didn't speak, and they didn't dare to say too much.

Finally, when the air in the central army tent was almost condensed, Hu Yanlei said: "Allow half of the soldiers and horses, and the whereabouts of the Taoist leader must be found."

Three hours later, a soldier reported that Juechen and Longji were found under the cliff. Longji had been dead for a long time, and Juechen was stopped by a big tree in mid-air. Juechen's tendons and bones were broken, and his life might be saved, but his kung fu might be wasted.

Hu Yanlei had no choice but to send a letter of divorce to the prince's mansion in Yinchuan, while Juechen temporarily stayed in the camp to recuperate.

On the top of the mountain, the Xixia soldiers occupied the top of the mountain in groups, attacking with fire, water, and smoke successively, trying to force Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu to emerge from the cave, but due to the terrain of the cave, these methods were almost ineffective. I want to dig a hole on the top of the mountain to connect the top of the mountain and the cave, but the rock on the mountain is hard, so after half a day of busy work, there is little effect. If I want to capture the two people in the cave by digging holes, I am afraid it will take half a month to go up. So Xixia soldiers had to give up.

Later, some courageous people directly tied ropes down from the cliff, everyone was holding a hook and sickle gun, and wanted to enter the cave to make a surprise attack, but the combat power of such people who went down one by one was too weak, and Li Wenxuan took them one by one. After that, he stripped off his clothes and food, and then threw them directly out of the cave and down the mountain.Later, Li Wenxuan didn't bother to fight in close quarters. As soon as he saw someone coming down from the cliff, he would shoot out flying stones one by one, taking that person's life. , had to stick to it.

Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu checked the things they had harvested, and the savings were enough for the two of them to consume for half a month. Anyway, both of them were injured at this time, and the first priority was to heal their injuries, not to go down the mountain, so they were not in a hurry , so they lived in the cave safely, and we will talk about everything after the injury is almost the same. Anyway, the two of them are in the cave, and the spring water is ding-dong every day, talking and laughing, but they are very happy.

After being rescued, Juechen didn’t wake up until three full days later. At first, he frantically wanted to kill Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu to avenge him, but he soon realized his injury. With the support and care of Hu Yanlei who spent his whole life, all the arrogance turned into ashes for a while, and Juechen completely quieted down. Perhaps Hu Yanlei came to persuade Juechen many times out of sincerity, or out of goodwill on the scene. He was told to go back to Yinchuan to recover from his injuries, but Juechen shook his head every time, but he didn't lose his temper. He just said that he would wait here for Li Wenxuan to go down the mountain, and then stared blankly at the roof of the tent without saying a word.Huyanlei could only sigh and leave.

These days, the most painful should be Juechen, but the most troublesome one should be Huyanlei. Thousands of Xixia soldiers are outside, and the daily supply of food and grass is not a small tree. So they had no choice but to set up a butcher shop to buy grain from the surrounding tribes, and to urge grain and grass to Yinchuan.

However, when Hu Yanlei urged Yinchuan for food, the first thing he got was not food and grass, but a reprimand written by the Prince Xixia himself, ordering him to settle the matter as soon as possible.Hu Yanlei wanted to cry, but now thousands of people are in a stalemate with the mere two people in the mountain, and they can't attack at all. The only way is to stick to the top of the mountain and trap people to death.But the ridiculous thing is that there is no connection between the mountain and the cave. Even if Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu were trapped in the cave, the Xixia soldiers above would have no way of knowing, so they had to send daredevils into the cave every three or two to check, but all of them were dead. I went again and never returned.

Hu Yanlei was still thinking about various methods for the first few days, and even invited some soldiers who had traveled through the rivers and lakes to use some tricks to force the two to come out, but after some experiments, Hu Yanlei was disheartened, no matter what No matter how urged by the prince, I can only die here, and no matter what the final result is, I have caused countless deaths and injuries to soldiers on this mountain, and I have not succeeded for a long time. It's hard to have the scenery of the past.

Ten days later, both Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu's injuries had healed by [-]% to [-]%. Li Wenxuan's injury didn't touch the muscles and bones, so he recovered quickly. Although Mingzhu's shoulder blade was hit by an arrow, the strength of the arrow was already weak at that time, so the injury recovered quickly. Not bad.

Now, Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu began to think about how to get out. Li Wenxuan tried to go out of the cave at night to investigate, but every time he only showed a little, he immediately retreated.Because no matter what time, there are always more than a dozen people on the cliff staring at the cave exit with strong bows and crossbows.Although Li Wenxuan's physical skills are good, he can only move forward slowly on this steep stone wall. Not to mention more than a dozen bows and crossbows, in fact, as long as there is a sharpshooter, Li Wenxuan can be suppressed at the entrance of the cave and cannot get out. .And this is just an ambush near the entrance of the cave, as for those ambush behind there are many people, or what kind of nets have been set up waiting for Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu to come to the door, Li Wenxuan doesn't know.

There were fewer and fewer things in the cave, and the two of them had no way of going out for a while, so they had to save money on food and expenses. The daily food for the two of them was only a piece of dried meat less than half the size of a palm. If things continued like this, It can last for another six or seven days.

Before eating those jerky, Mingzhu always said that she is a woman and eats little food, so she wanted to give most of it to Li Wenxuan, but Li Wenxuan naturally refused. To eat some, every time Li Wenxuan couldn't resist Mingzhu's attack, he would use some tough measures to "force" Mingzhu to eat. Of course, in this way, Mingzhu's tears and angry complaints were inevitable, but Li Wenxuan didn't mind. More tender and sweet.

These days, apart from thinking about ways to get out, the two of them often sparred in the cave after their injuries got better. Li Wenxuan didn't improve much, but Mingzhu benefited a lot. Li Wenxuan passed on all the sword skills he knew to him. Mingzhu, only the marrow-washing sutra was told by Master Jing in the past that Li Wenxuan should not spread it outside, otherwise Li Wenxuan would have to tell Mingzhu about the marrow-washing sutra.Mingzhu is born beautiful and very intelligent. She often understands the mysteries of all kinds of swordsmanship. Although she can't master it for a while, Li Wenxuan feeds her every day, and it has achieved initial results. Li Wenxuan always laments that Mingzhu's talent in martial arts is far away from her own Above all, after going on like this for a few years, Mingzhu's swordsmanship will definitely surpass her own. Mingzhu is the happiest when she hears such comments, and has repeatedly vowed to be the best in the world.

In addition to practicing martial arts, the two often play in the water for fun in the cave.When the two of them went to Chuzhou on the same boat in the past, Mingzhu was scuttled and sunk by Li Wenxuan, and almost died in the rivers and lakes. Li Wenxuan remembered this, and there was a hot spring beside him, so he simply taught Mingzhu to swim.It's just that Mingzhu was born in the north, so she has no talent for swimming. Although she has a graceful figure and a unparalleled beauty, once she enters the water, even though Li Wenxuan is guarding her side, her face will turn pale, and her hands and feet will dance wildly.

Although Mingzhu was reluctant, Li Wenxuan still insisted on teaching Mingzhu to learn to swim, and the children of the rivers and lakes. , so under Li Wenxuan's insistence, Mingzhu finally achieved a small amount of success. She has reached the realm of dog planing, and she can barely do it in the water by kicking splashes with her little feet and keeping her body from sinking.Moreover, Mingzhu's internal strength is very good, and the breath holding time in the water is quite terrifying, which is not far behind Li Wenxuan.
