Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 470
Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu listened to these golden soldiers for a while, and the most important news they got was that Princess Yilan and Wugu had no accidents in the battle that day. This news can be regarded as good news. Before coming here, the two of them didn't talk about each other, but they both had a question in their hearts, if Princess Yilan had something good or bad, what should they do?The princess of a country dies in a foreign country in a disaster of war. When the time comes, it will be a disturbance both internally and externally. Moreover, from a personal emotional point of view, both of them are extremely unwilling to have a good or bad relationship with Princess Yilan. Naturally, Mingzhu needless to say , Li Wenxuan and Princess Yilan only got along for a few moments, but he was really grateful to this "matchmaker". What's more, when he left Shangjing, he once patted his chest and assured He Ci that Princess Yilan was safe.

However, the joy brought by this good news is fleeting. Princess Yilan and Wugu suddenly disappeared after being captured. What kind of superb martial arts, Wugu with good fists and feet is wounded. With the means of the two of them, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape by themselves, and even if they are lucky enough to untie the rope and avoid the guards around them, the barracks There are thousands of soldiers and horses inside, so what should we do?Moreover, there were only two people without food and horses. Even if they were lucky enough to encounter bandits without horses on this vast grassland, they would definitely not be able to return to Shangjing alive.

What if an expert came to the rescue?This is also a little unreasonable. According to the time, the news of Princess Yilan's accident is at most just known to Jin Guo, or even ignorant of it, so it is impossible for Jin Guo to send Yanyun Eighteen to ride these masters come to help.But if it was shot by someone, since that person has the ability to quietly take away Princess Yilan and Wugu among more than a thousand people, not to mention whether he knows martial arts, he just dredged up and down to cover people's eyes and ears. There are probably dozens of people passing by, and it is extremely difficult to keep secrets from time to time. If there is a slight mistake, it will be exposed. This person has taken a huge risk.Moreover, Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu really never imagined that there would be someone willing to take such a risk to save the princess.

The two once suspected that it was Yetai who did it, but Yetai had already been defeated by Zali at that time, and the manpower he could use was extremely limited. It should be extremely difficult to accomplish this task, but it is not completely impossible .

It's just that if he wanted to save the princess, the loss outweighed the gain. Rescuing the princess might gain a lot of favor from the Kingdom of Jin.But why did he still save Wogu?Although Wugu is a deputy general in the army, but in terms of status, he is really far from Princess Yilan. In terms of relationship with the Kingdom of Jin, one more Wogu is not much, and one less him is not a big deal. It is enough that the princess is well.Saving the princess is already a difficult task, but adding an injured and meaningless Wugu, one can imagine the effort it took.

If you have to say that someone can rescue the princess with their own ability, in terms of identity and ability, they are Juechen experienced, but when Li Wenxuan met Juechen before, Juechen and Longji He has searched for the princess on the grassland for several days to no avail. Even if Juechen finds the princess and hides the princess privately, he can't hide it from Long Ji who is traveling all the way. In the end, he believed that Princess Yilan was also trapped on the mountain, and later broke with Juechen, so there was absolutely no need for him to deceive Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu.

In the end, the two thought of Zali again, but they immediately denied it. As for the other small tribes where the incident happened, they would not take the risk of encountering this bad luck, and they did not have the strength to do this. Princess Lan is a hot potato, no matter who it is, they will not have time to take the Jin Kingdom's flattery, no matter if it is the Kelie Department or the Xixia side, as long as the army turns around, they will immediately face the war of swords and soldiers disaster.

In this way, Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu screened all the people in this area of ​​the grassland who might attack Princess Yilan, no matter whether the other party may be good or malicious, none of them was left behind. It was discovered that none of these people had a reason to take the princess away. The two spent so much energy tonight, but in the end they found that it was all in vain.

Originally, they were a little happy to find out some news about Princess Yilan, but now that there is such a change, it puts the matter back into the mystery again, and they are deeply concerned about Li Wenxuan, Mingzhu, and the captured golden soldiers. Literally, it's all clueless.

Counting the days, Princess Yilan has been missing for half a month. Did the princess fall into the hands of the friendly side, or was she captured by some villain?The person who took the princess away was a good person, but if he was an evil person, everyone present would have imagined what would happen in half a month, but they kept it in their hearts, and no one dared to speak.

The atmosphere was a little dull. Seeing General Li frowning, the captured Jin soldiers knew that he was in trouble. When they were captured, they had already thought about this matter, and they had done various things. This kind of hypothesis, but I can't guess why, and the men and horses of Klein's department are also investigating this matter, but there is no result. It can be seen that the matter is complicated. These golden soldiers even thought it was Li Wenxuan who came back to save the princess. Zeng Huan was still happy for a while, but the joy was broken in a short time. Seeing Li Wenxuan's expression at this time, they were not surprised.

The matter has already been like this, Li Wenxuan is a bit unwilling, but he has no choice but to find some clues, but the whole matter is like a case without a head, and there is nowhere to investigate it.

Li Wenxuan then asked the captured gold soldiers some other trivial information, such as the place where they were being held, how the guards changed their shifts every day, when people came to patrol, when the defense was weak, and so on.The main purpose is to prepare for the rescue of these people in the future, because Li Wenxuan faintly feels that Princess Yilan may not be found for a while, but these soldiers can't ignore them, and they have to find a way to rescue them. All of them were bought to be slaves, and for bloody men like them, it was probably more unacceptable than death.

Afterwards, I already knew what I wanted to know. Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu didn't stay here for long. After all, there were so many guards outside. Someone would come in to patrol at any time. Although Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu were not afraid of them, they stayed here It is always a small hidden danger, it is better to get out early, but just when the two of them had just walked out a few steps, a golden soldier behind him whispered: "General, the day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow is from Kret's department." It's 'Cow Fighting Club'."

"Cowfighting? What is this?"

This is the first time for Li Wenxuan to come to the grassland, and he doesn't know what this bull fighting is. Obvious:
"You greedy guy who is afraid of death, I don't recognize you!"

"Aren't you going to kill the general, just two days!"

"Bastard! If General Li doesn't dislike us, you should be content! Do you have any conscience!"

……

A few voices followed, all of which were reprimanding the Jin Bing who spoke before. The simple sentence of that Jin Bing actually offended the public, and listening to the meaning of their words, it seemed that something would be extremely serious to Li Wenxuan. unfavorable.

Li Wenxuan asked Mingzhu: "What is this 'Battle Bull Club'?"

Mingzhu's face was also a little dazed, she didn't know why these golden soldiers had an argument, and said: "The bullfighting meeting is an activity of the Klein Department, and it can be said to be the most lively day for them every year. Not only the Klein Department itself, but also the Even many other tribes around will come to participate, and all the elites of the tribe will come. Even the smallest tribe will select a few warriors and maidens to participate. At the bullfight meeting, each tribe The bravest men will come out one by one to fight with the bison that has just been whipped with bare hands. This kind of bison is the most ferocious, no less than tigers and wolves. Every year in the bullfighting meeting, some people will be stabbed by the horns of the bull, and some will die from serious injuries However, if any warrior can kill the bison with his bare hands, he will be regarded as the bravest man and will be respected by everyone, and at the same time..."

Mingzhu said and paused for a moment: "At the same time, not only warriors are coming to this bullfighting event, young and beautiful unmarried girls from various tribes will also come to watch. They will give one of their own personal items to the warrior to express their friendship. If the warrior accepts the gift from the girl, they will be lovers protected by the God of the Grassland. put one's oar in."

Li Wenxuan nodded, and asked casually: "How do you know such details, have you been here?"

Mingzhu's face turned red, and Li Wenxuan really hit the spot, saying: "I went to the Ministry of Kelie once before, and my father forced me to come here just to watch the Bullfighting Club. He wanted to kill me. Get married, but don't worry, I didn't give anything to anyone at the time!"

Li Wenxuan smiled, thinking that this bullfighting meeting was interesting, but he couldn't get the bait with him, so he turned to Jin Bing over there and asked, "I know about this bullfighting meeting, but it has nothing to do with me, Why are you so nervous?"

At this time, all the golden soldiers over there were silent for a while, and the golden soldier who had talked about the Pacing Bull Club before even lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Wenxuan.

The more they looked like this, the more Li Wenxuan felt that there was something strange about it, so he went straight to the Jin Bing who spoke first, and asked, "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened to the Bull Fighting Club. "

"I..." The golden soldier hesitated for a moment, and when he raised his head, he saw the fierce eyes of other people, and immediately swallowed the words back, not daring to speak again.

Naturally, these details could not escape Li Wenxuan's eyes, which made him even more curious, and said, "Don't be afraid, as long as what you tell the truth, I guarantee you will be fine."

"General..." The golden soldier murmured, "General, it's okay, it's really okay, it's me who didn't live up to it, it's really okay, you go away."

Li Wenxuan felt even more strange, but this person refused to say, and Li Wenxuan could never force him to say it. When he was in a difficult situation, Mingzhu suddenly said: "I guess... is it the day of the bullfighting meeting, you will also be punished?" Beheaded?"

As soon as Mingzhu finished speaking, all the other gold soldiers raised their heads suddenly, and the expressions of surprise appeared on the surface, Mingzhu sighed: "As expected, as expected."

"What's going on?" Li Wenxuan asked hastily.

"Well, speaking of it... the first part of the Kret's bullfighting meeting is mainly about warriors fighting cows with bare hands, and girls choose their own men, but there is another section at the end, which is to choose the bravest or most brave ones. Dozens of warriors each cut open the abdomen of a cow or sheep to show their bravery."

Li Wenxuan said strangely: "It's nothing, it has nothing to do with us."

A trace of unbearable expression appeared on Mingzhu's face, and she said again: "Usually, what they kill are cattle and sheep, but if there is a war, or there are useless captives in the tribe, the last target they will kill is not cattle and sheep. , but...and it's a heartbreak!"

"They... how could they be so vicious!" Li Wenxian cursed in a low voice, and punched a nearby stake. The stake, which was more than a foot deep in the ground, immediately tilted to the side.

Li Wenxuan calmed down, and said again: "That is to say, if we want to save people, we must do so before the bullfight?"

"En." Mingzhu nodded slightly, but she knew in her heart that the hope of getting this matter done was very slim.

At this time, the former golden soldier spoke again, and said: "General, I was confused just now. We know that you really want to let us go out, General. We soldiers understand this kind of intention. As for us... you should not let us go!" Let’s make another move, there will probably be thousands or even tens of thousands of people here on the day of the bullfighting meeting, if you make a slight mistake, we are already dying, so let’s forget about it, you can’t have an accident, General.”

It was less than a day after arriving in the Kelei Department, and all the problems one after another came before him. Li Wenxuan really didn't know how to deal with it at this time.If there is no Princess Yilan, Li Wenxuan can give it a go, even let these people out now, and lead the way ahead. Everyone seized the horses and killed the Kelei department directly. Although Li Wenxuan could not guarantee that all these people were safe and sound, he could The entire army will definitely not be wiped out, but now that Princess Yilan's whereabouts are unknown, Li Wenxuan dare not make any big moves, but if he is asked to watch these people being ripped apart alive, it would be reasonable for Li Wenxuan Unacceptable.

At this time, several gold soldiers were persuading Li Wenxuan, begging him not to do anything at the bullfighting meeting, saying that such an action would undoubtedly be death-seeking.

It's not that these Xixia soldiers don't want to live well. Facing death, no one is not afraid, let alone being cut open by life. Just thinking about such torture makes people shudder, but now they say He was unwilling to drag Li Wenxuan down.

Because this general is different from others. He is very humane and has great martial arts skills, but he is not arrogant. For the sake of the princess and their pawns, he is willing to go to dangerous places alone. These people are considered brothers. This kind of brother is not like a general who sits down with soldiers to eat together in the barracks, or puts down his social status when he is bored at night, and everyone laughs at dirty jokes together.

Now that Li Wenxuan wants to save them, he is actually risking his own life. This is a fateful friendship. Although these golden soldiers know that Li Wenxuan may not be able to save them in the end, they are grateful to this general from the bottom of their hearts. They were all trying to persuade Li Wenxuan not to take risks.

Li Wenxuan stood willingly, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then slowly said: "Everyone, don't worry, there is still a whole day tomorrow from Shana to the bullfighting meeting. During this time, I will try my best to find a way. I promise everyone , I will not take risks lightly, but please promise me that you will never do anything stupid until the last moment."

After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, he walked straight into the distance. He heard those golden soldiers talking about taking care, but Li Wenxuan didn't know how to answer, so he just waved his hands behind him.

Mingzhu followed behind him, feeling that this originally muscular figure suddenly felt a little sad, she stepped forward and said softly: "Li Lang, no matter what decision you make, Mingzhu will always be with you!"

Li Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Suddenly I feel very tired, but luckily you are by my side."

After a pause, he said again: "When I left just now, I didn't know what I should tell them. Now that I leave, I may just leave them here to die!"

Mingzhu said in a low voice: "I know, I know you're in trouble, you...you were the one who had nothing to do with this matter, but in the end all these things happened to you, you are tired now, anyway we still have One day can be used to negotiate, whether it is the princess's affairs or their affairs, you should have a good rest tonight, and everything will wait until tomorrow, and tomorrow I will accompany you to think about it."

Mingzhu's soft words really made Li Wenxuan's heart, which was blocked by a stone, feel better, but at the same time, it also made him worry more, that is, he can take risks, what about Mingzhu?On the mountain, Mingzhu thought she was killed in battle and almost killed herself with a knife. Li Wenxuan really felt sorry for the woman who dared to love and hate beside him, and was afraid that she would take the slightest risk.

Afterwards, both of them fell silent, and when they reached the edge of the fence, they listened carefully, and there were bursts of human voices outside, but the knight on the startled horse hadn't left yet, and was chatting passionately with a few guards, However, the scene was not the mess it was when the startled horse suddenly rushed in. Now that the guards had restored order, if they wanted to leave, they would definitely be discovered by these guards.
