[Shadow Guardian] The Wind Rises from the Wild West

Xi Yanbo Honghan was a little-known figure before that.It's just that a general who made a fortune in the wild land of the western border has become the lord of a place, and he was granted the title of Marquis, and he was looked down upon by the princes.What's more, he has always been rough and unrestrained, full of banditry, unshaven and unkempt, and looks like a martial artist, which has nothing to do with the literati that the Central Plains admires.

Hong Han stared at the young man in Tsing Yi, his eyes were wanton and wild, and the lights reflected in his eyes, like two wildfires.

The young man remained unmoved, his eyes were warm and dark, calm and calm.

"Didn't I tell you not to come again?" Yun recognized the person who was poaching in the forest in the morning.

"Who dares to break into the Shadow Gate!" the little girl A Jin was suddenly annoyed.She is usually the one who takes care of the garden, and will never miss any disturbances, but today she was eavesdropped by someone sneaking outside the house.

She was extremely fast, and she attacked Hong Han with seven or eight moves in an instant.Her body has not yet fully grown, but she has a thin willow-leaf dagger, but it is extremely fierce, and her internal strength is masculine, she is not like a girl in her early ten years old.

Everyone just felt a blur in front of them.Hong Han pulled out his scimitar and swiped it violently in front of him. With a clang, it was like a moat. The girl's attacking moves hit the arc of light of the scimitar one after another, making several crisp sounds.

Hong Han took half a step back, stood with the knife in his hand, and laughed.

Ah Jin took a few steps back, his face was very ugly.She was obviously no match for this person.

And the other party still kept his hand, if he didn't take this half step back, she would suffer a greater shock and might be injured.Ah Jin raised his eyebrows, regardless of his young age and lack of strength, he was about to fight again, but found that he couldn't lift the dagger.

Yun didn't know when he came to her side, pinching the thin blade of her dagger with two fingers, just like holding her hand when she was a child.

Ah Jin felt relieved and stepped back.As long as the sect master takes action, there is nothing that cannot be resolved.

Yun turned his fingers and held the willow-leaf dagger. He raised his hand as a gesture of invitation.No matter how gentle his temperament is, he will not turn a blind eye to the provocations coming to him.He was dressed in a rough blue shirt, standing condensed under the light, with an indifferent expression, but there was an indescribable elegance in his gestures, and the fire phoenix brand on the back of his hand was very clear and glaring.

Hong Han laughed, and unceremoniously swung his saber forward.If he knew that the boy was a master, he didn't hold back at all.

The young man's movement was very strange, like a gust of wind, he slanted away slightly, avoiding the edge of the blade dangerously, and at the same time he was short and let the knife back, the willow-leaf dagger hit Honghan's waist.His movements are not big, but they are accurate and fast, and he can always avoid the vital points in dangerous situations.

If it wasn't for the hard armor protecting Honghan's waist, he would have already been cut open.Honghan didn't mind at all, he dared to swing the saber so openly because of his armor. He was a warrior who was good at riding a horse, and he was not an assassin, so he didn't feel ashamed at all.The two exchanged more than a dozen moves in an instant. If it weren't for the bronze mirror and armor that protects the heart, Honghan would have had four or five more cuts, three or four holes.

The young man's swift and elusive movements were honed through countless times of close combat.If it was trained as the emperor's guard, it should be this way.His internal strength is very strange, it is also masculine and fiery, but when the blade cuts from his side, it always brings a sticky and stagnant feeling.That's right, this is precisely the way to protect the emperor from being stabbed. No assassin would have thought that such an obstacle would be encountered when a sharp weapon approaches him.

Thinking of this, Hong Han laughed even harder.This person, he wants to decide!

However, in just twenty strokes, the movements of the two people stopped suddenly. The young man was stuck in the arms of the tall general. Arriving at Honghan's soft throat - here, there is no armor.

It was like a full embrace, but full of death threats.

Yun didn't use any force, but just motioned lightly, leaving a light red mark on Hong Han's throat.Then he withdrew his hands and got out of the battle circle like a ghost. "Please go down the mountain." He said calmly, and handed the dagger back to Ah Jin who was full of admiration.

The people around were secretly relieved.

"Very good, I lost." Hong Han admitted, licking his lips. "But who the hell will win or lose in a martial arts competition with you..."

Seeing that he was such a rascal, the old servant yelled: "It's really shameless, I have to wait for someone to take you..." But the second half of the sentence got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it anymore - he was pressing Honghan's scimitar in front of his nose At the tip of the knife, the murderous aura is as real as it is.

If it wasn't for the shadow sect master's fingers resting on the scimitar at a critical moment, he would already be a dead man.

Yun pushed Hong Han's knife away, still speaking flatly, as if he could understand the other party's unwillingness. "Please go down the mountain. Qi Mountain is not the place for you."

Hong Han stared into his eyes and smiled, turned his wrist and slashed again.

This time, it was the ceremonial officer who was sweating coldly, looking at the blade of the knife that was pinched by the young man in front of his neck!This savage has no rules, it is really unreasonable to take the lives of others to vent his anger like this regardless!

The boy took the knife away and put it gently on the case.He was not angry, but just sighed: "Why is this so. You can't get anything in Qishan, in Yingmen."

Hong Han laughed loudly, and suddenly said seriously: "I, Hong Han, have never failed to grab what I want to grab."

Honghan took a step forward, like a beast staring at its prey, and said ruthlessly, "Treat him with sincerity, and treat him with fire. I kissed Qishan, with full sincerity. If you don't follow, the two thousand people stationed at the foot of the mountain will be killed." Soldiers and horses can immediately burn this royal tomb and destroy Qishan Mountain. This is my sincerity!"

Yun's expression remained the same, but his eyes dimmed a little.He didn't expect that one day Qi Shan would break into such an unreasonable person.Yun never argues with others, he pondered for a long time before opening his mouth slowly.

"Nowadays the world is declining and the princes are powerful, but the countries are covetous and restrain each other. Burning the imperial mausoleum is to risk the power of the world. Xiyan is located in a remote place, and its foothold is not stable. It is not afraid to give it a handle and make people attack it. ?"

Honghan folded his arms and said: "Who knows, anyway, I killed people and burned the mountain. I hid behind Zihan Pass. They come to fight and rob in the backcountry." He sounded like a rascal.

Yun looked out of the window for a long time without saying a word. Outside the window was the mountains and forests in the night, behind which the Twelve Emperors Tombs could not be seen in the distance.He grew up in Qishan, with a gentle and soft temperament, and he was indifferent to the world. Even though he was trained as a shadow guard, he did not develop a cold and ruthless temperament.He didn't want to go to Tiandu, just because if he went, it would be the death of the former head of the sect - the emperor's shadow guard has only one person, just like a person has only one shadow.

When he was a child, he really wanted to leave Qishan Mountain and take a look at the outside world, but he couldn't.Now he didn't want to leave, instead one or two came to force him.

Fate is always twisting with him, no matter how pliable he is, it's useless.

If someone had to be the Shadow Guard, apart from the Son of Heaven, it didn't make much difference who he was.Yun looked at Hong Han, his eyes like wildfire were full of obvious ambition, he was a tyrannical one who would not give up until he reached his goal.

It should be possible to ask for something, right?When Yun thought this way, he suddenly realized that he had actually compromised in his heart—it was really like trading slaves, and he wanted to negotiate a good price.

He thought for a while, and finally said: "I want three promises. If you agree, I will be your shadow guard." He said these words flatly, without any ups and downs except for a somewhat gloomy tone.

Everyone in the hall was shocked!Never expected him to be like this.

Ah Jin couldn't help screaming: "Master!"

Where is Shadow Gate, and who is Shadow Guard?This is the shadow guard unique to the emperor, how can others get involved?How could the sect master agree to such a rude request?

Hong Han looked at the boy and smiled slowly, never expecting him to answer so simply.He must get what he wants, and he will not hesitate to resort to many means for this.He had just started, and he hadn't used many follow-up rogue methods, but the other party agreed easily, and he was really an innocent young man who didn't know anything.

He shrugged and made a very generous gesture: "Say it."

"After Bojun descends from the mountain, don't covet the imperial tomb, and don't step inside the gate of Qishan Mountain. Is it possible?" Even when talking about conditions, the tone is still gentle.

"It's natural." It was a threat to speak wildly, and he didn't intend to do it, so Hong Han agreed to it as a matter of course.

"Don't talk about the Shadow Gate to the outside world, and don't hurt the people of the Shadow Gate. Is it possible?"

"No problem." It was obvious that he wanted to protect his fellow disciples, and Hong Han agreed quickly.

Yun thought for a while, looked into Honghan's eyes, and slowly said word by word: "As far as I know, Xihuang is now called Xiyan, and it is the territory under Bojun's rule. Then, during Bojun's reign, Is it okay not to leave Zihanguan in the east and enter the Central Plains?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was silent.Zihan Pass is the gateway to the west of the Central Plains, and beyond the pass is the wild west.Xiyan Kingdom is just outside the Zihan Pass, just across the pass is the splendid hinterland of the Central Plains.

How could a young man who was a slave raise such a condition, how dare he raise such a condition?

Murderous aura suddenly appeared in Honghan's eyes.After a while, he laughed loudly and mocked, "Who do you think you are!"

The young man lowered his eyes sadly, and said in a low voice, "Does Uncle Xi Yan think it's acceptable?"

Honghan's ambition has never been mentioned to others, but he is very clear that since seeing the prosperity of the Central Plains, he has ignited some unspeakable desires. "What if I don't agree?"

Yun raised his eyes and said slowly: "I thought about it just now. Although my martial arts are slightly higher than Bo Jun, I lose in sharp weapons and armor. Your subordinates are also good. The shadow sect's talent is dying, it must be Opponents. The disaster of destroying the family should be right in front of us."

His tone was as flat as ever, and he spoke slowly, as if there was no threat. "However, with the power of the shadow gate, if you hit with all your strength, I'm afraid Bo Jun will not be able to get back whole." After hearing this, Ah Jin immediately clenched the dagger in his hand, and stared at General Manzi without fear.

"If Bo Jun finds it difficult to agree, I will not force it. Bo Jun, please go down the mountain."

Hong Han froze for a moment, then laughed.

He was threatened by someone, and he still felt that the threat was quite reasonable.

To the east of Zihanguan is Yimapingchuan, there is no danger to defend, and he will never act rashly before he is fully prepared.Xiyan has just established a country, with a lot of waste waiting to be rejuvenated, surrounded by barbarians, how can they have the ability to covet the Central Plains in a short time?Who knows decades from now?What should be robbed is robbed first.After he finished laughing, he stared at the boy fiercely: "If I agree to this, you will be my man?"

"Once the shadow guard recognizes his master, he will follow him through life and death, and will never bear each other."

Hong Han nodded, and said simply and neatly: "Okay, I have complied with your conditions."

Yun looked into his wildfire eyes: "No regrets?"

Hong Han smiled sideways, "No regrets."

Yun nodded and raised his hand to signal to see off the guests.

The hall exploded into chaos.Ah Jin rushed over to Yun and knelt down. "Sect master! He is not a survivor of heaven and man, how can he reach the fire contract!"

"You don't have to worry." Yun wanted to pull her up, but she hugged her legs tightly and refused to let go.

"I will replace you!" She raised her head and cried angrily, "If he must have a shadow guard, I will go for the door master!"

"You can't replace me." Yun touched Ah Jin's head very gently. "Get up, don't let people see the joke, take the guests to rest."

He bowed slightly to Hong Han, "Let me rest for a while, excuse me."

Hong Han watched the young man go out, and then saw the wailing in the hall, feeling complacent for a moment.
