Chapter 585 Wangchengtou
In the thirty-second year of Li Yulin's reign, Heng Imperial City stood tall in the north of Great Xia like it had been for hundreds of years. The citizens were still busy shuttling through the streets and alleys.
Nothing seemed to have happened.
However, the smell of blood that pervaded this ancient city had not dissipated for a long time, and the depths of those people's eyes were also filled with indispensable fear.
In fact, something has happened and is getting worse.
…
Outside Horizontal Imperial City, within Luo Shui Pavilion, which was only thirty miles away from Great Xia Kingdom, Eldest Young Miss Fang's dissatisfied exclamation resounded throughout the pavilion.
"Why are we together with these two bastards?" Eldest Miss Fang pointed her finger at the two figures in front of her with a face full of indignation. Naturally, the disgust between her eyebrows was not concealed at all.
The old and young figures standing opposite Fang Ziyu couldn't help but reveal embarrassed expressions when they heard this.
This wasn't enough. Meng Liang, who was with Fang Ziyu, saw this, but he didn't care about it. The purple sword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, and the boundless sword intent enveloped the two figures like a river.
The young man's spear shook and his expression turned cold as he looked at Meng Liang. The old man extended his hand to stop the young man.
Seeing this, Xu Han naturally couldn't let the two sides really fight. He hurriedly took a step forward and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Your Highness, little Your Highness has worked hard."
As Xu Han stepped forward, Chu Chouli, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stopped Fang Ziyu. As for the two of them, their expressions were slightly slower as they saluted Xu Han one after another.
These two were Li Moding and Li Ding Xian, who had fought with Xu Han at the Dragon Gate Meeting.
Xu Han was only a lobbyist for Great Zhou, but for Great Xia, if she wanted to show enough sincerity towards Great Zhou, then sending out royal clans was naturally the best choice. Therefore, Li Moding and his son became Xu Han's companions.
Because of Fang Ziyu's temperament, it was naturally impossible for her to have too many good expressions towards Li Moding and his son, who had made things difficult for Xu Han and the others when they first arrived at Heng Imperial City. However, under Xu Han's mediation, they finally put aside their hostility and stood to the side in disgust.
Although Xu Han neutralized the battle, deep down in his heart, he couldn't really have a good impression of the father and son. Therefore, he ignored the two of them and stood beside Fang Ziyu and the others.
…
Li Moding was confused, or rather somewhat dissatisfied.
Great Xia was facing an unprecedented calamity. As one of the few princes of the Li Imperial Family, he should stand on the city wall like his royal brother and lead the army to kill the enemy.
At this moment, he had no choice but to go to Great Zhou at Li Yulin's request.
To put it nicely, he was representing Li Yulin in sending out the Great Zhou, but to put it bluntly, he was the hostage sent by Great Xia to Great Zhou.
Whether it was Li Yulin's order or his current awkward situation, Li Moding was a little embarrassed, but as a royal family, he had already gained such an awareness. He was dissatisfied that he could do more than that. Or rather, he did not like the situation where the two brothers always placed him in an outsider's position. It was just like before, he knew nothing about Shen Wu Shuang.
"Who are we waiting for? Hongjian?" After standing for a hundred breaths of time, Miss Fang couldn't help but be silent and asked again.
However, Xu Han shook his head and said, " Hongjian has some things to deal with. She won't follow us. After that, she will find a way to keep up with us."
"Oh." Fang Ziyu nodded. She had already heard of such a thing early in the morning. Although she was a little puzzled about it, she did not think about it because of her trust in Xu Han. However, when she saw that Xu Han had not brought them on the road for a long time, she asked, "Who are we waiting for?"
Hearing this, Xu Han did not respond to Fang Ziyu. Instead, he looked not far away with a calm brow. His gaze flickered. After a while, he said, "Here he comes."
"Huh?" Everyone who heard this was stunned. They raised their heads to look in the direction Xu Han was looking in.
However, there was a youth dressed in grey linen slowly walking towards this place. The youth's expression was calm and his age was about the same as Xu Han's, which made everyone feel that he was somewhat familiar.
After a few breaths, the youth walked to Xu Han and stood still.
The two of them looked at each other, and a light flashed in Xu Han's eyes.
He smiled and said, "You're still here."
The linen-clothed youth sized Xu Han up and down, and then said with a gloomy expression, "You'd better not lie to me."
The threat in the linen-clothed youth's words was intense, and killing intent surged between his eyebrows. However, not only did Xu Han not reveal a strange expression when he heard this, he instead smiled even more.
"You will definitely get the answer you want." He said.
At this moment, everyone regained their senses. This linen-clothed youth was Liu Sheng, whom Xu Han had rescued from the Dark Asura Palace. Immediately after, the crowd did not say anything else. After checking the things they carried with them, they walked towards the direction far away from the Heng Imperial City.
Only when Li Moding left did he look back at the city wall of Heng Imperial City with a complicated gaze.
…
Li Moding looked at the city wall of Heng Imperial City. There were also people watching him from the city wall.
"Ah Mo doesn't seem to want to leave." Marotta in a white robe narrowed his eyes and said.
'"Ah Mo has done a lot for Great Xia these years, but his mind is one-track. He wants to be shrewd, but he can't do anything about it. But his heart is good. He has Great Xia in his heart, so he naturally doesn't want to leave at this time." Li Yulin, who was dressed in some black clothes, replied softly.
"Then you still want to chase him away?" Marotta turned to Li Yulin and asked.
Hearing this, Li Yulin also looked at marotta at that time. In the past 30 years, Royal Brother may not have changed his appearance. Even his temples are covered with white frost. Li Yulin sighed in his heart. He said, "Mu Ji of Great Zhou, Meng Ke of Chen Kingdom, and Royal Brother in front of him, I think the same thing happened to the three of you."
"Great Xia's situation is even more dangerous than that of Zhou Chen. Shen Wushuang and Death Chu will not give up. No one dares to guarantee that we will survive this calamity alive."
'"You and I are childless. Although Ah Mo's child is a little young and energetic, he has followed Ah Mo. His heart is with Great Xia, and he is very intelligent. I think if something really happens, Great Xia will not be without a leader."
Hearing this marotta face a rare peculiar color, but quickly recovered.
He sighed and said sadly, "Looks like you know."
Hearing this, Li Yulin smiled and said, "It's not hard to know. I think Lord Munch should be preparing for what's behind him by now."
Marotta face color and heavy, he sighed again: "xia zhou chen played for so many years, until the end only found himself in the hands of others chess piece, want to be really ridiculous."
Li Yulin put away the smile on his face. He raised his head and looked at the horizon. A majestic dragon qi suddenly gushed out from under his robe.
"Our Great Xia Dynasty was originally born in the wilderness. When our ancestors were ordinary men, they could compete with the emperors. Now that we are dragons, heavens… there's no way we can't fight!"
