The leader is playing a big game of chess

When Yan Xuanye arrived at that place, Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao had already been surrounded by Jin Lin for three days and three nights.

On an unnamed hill, there is only a small forest.Relying on this grove, Gu Xichao and Qi Shaoshang made use of the terrain to dodge and supported for three days.

Although the two were slightly injured, there was no shortage of drinking water and food on the mountain, and it would not be a problem to last another seven or eight days.

It's just that both of them knew in their hearts that if it wasn't for Jin Lin who coveted something on Qi Shaoshang and set the mountain on fire, neither of them would have ended well.

At this time, it was late at night on the fourth day, and the moonlight was shining brightly on the earth.

Gu Xichao and Qi Shaoshang leaned their backs on a big rock beside the mountain spring and sat side by side.There was almost no rest for three days and three nights, and I had to be alert at all times. I was already very nervous and tired to the extreme.

Gu Xichao leaned on the boulder with his head up, silently looking at the bright moon in the sky. After a while, he suddenly laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and sang with his sword, and whispered: "The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the side of the water." .Turn back and follow it, the road is long and difficult..."

After arriving, the voice gradually lowered. Looking at the mountain spring under the moonlight, she was stunned for a moment, and when she spoke again, she tossed and turned and said that sentence: "The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water."

Qi Shaoshang didn't interrupt him.

Gu Xichao thought about it for a while, feeling bored. That day when we first met in the Qitai wine shop, the hero Qi Da, who was unrestrained and daring, was the head of the nine-mighty dragon, and Qi Shaoshang, who was willing to accompany him to talk about poetry, swords and long songs, had already died in a bloody storm. She came out of the cocoon and became the owner of the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower with great power.

Gu Xichao was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Qi Shaoshang, if I tell you that I conspired with Huang Jinlin to lure you here for the sake of leading Qi Shaoshang's influence in Beijing, would you believe it?"

Qi Shaoshang's hand was on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Although he has a broken arm and one hand, the current Qi Shaoshang will only be more difficult to deal with than before.

Gu Xichao's lips were a little chapped, but there was a clear spring by his side, so he drank instead of fetching water.

Not long after they first met in the wine shop that day, Qi Shaoshang, who was able to entrust Lianyunzhai to the village, has also disappeared.

"Huang Jinlin is ruthless and calm, extremely calm, he led the army here, he must have made a thorough plan." Gu Xichao said slowly: "There must be spies in the Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower."

Qi Shaoshang didn't answer the call, he was still in shock and uncertainty, after half a year of tracking, he suddenly turned into Gu Xichao's trace.It so happened that he was enraged by Gu Xichao and wanted to take him north to sacrifice the heroic soul of Lianyunzhai, so he was separated from Jinfengxiyulou brothers for three days, and Jinlin took a shortcut and blocked them on the mountain.

The Golden Scale is Gu Xichao's former ally and partner.

The ding-dong of the remaining spring water on the mountain and the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind, it is obviously a quiet and somewhat romantic mountain night, but it only makes people feel suffocated.

When Yan Xuanye jumped down from the boulder, Qi Shaoshang's long sword, which had been ready to go, was pulled out instantly and stabbed at his legs.

But how lightly the leader of Jingtian Sect was, he tapped his feet lightly on the spine of his sword, and he had already stood up, pulled out the knife at his waist with his backhand, and slashed Qi Shaoshang straight in the face with a "shua".

Fortunately, Gu Xichao recognized him at that moment: "Master Yan!"

Qi Shaoshang had no time to dodge, and Yan Xuanye didn't really want his life, the blade was hanging above the tip of his nose, and the cold air from the knife had already irritated Qi Shaoshang's skin, making him stiff.

"Hehe." Yan Xuanye put the saber back into its sheath, and said, "Just kidding."

There was no smile on his face.

He heard a lot of what Gu Xichao said just now, from his point of view, both of them are mothers-in-law.If you like it, you will go up, if you don't like it, you will share it, actually hiding it, suspicious and tempting each other, it is too soft and motherly.

But in front of him are clearly two tall, tall and handsome men.

"Break out with me tomorrow, and soldiers and crabs like Jinlin will surround you, making you all dejected. Qi Shaoshang, who fled thousands of miles that day, where is the tenacity to escape from pursuit?" Yan Xuanye criticized.

Qi Shaoshang's face sank, this incident was the biggest thorn and wound in his heart, but the person mentioned in front of him, although he was his opponent, had higher martial arts than him.He definitely couldn't easily dodge the sudden swift strike just now.

Gu Xichao clasped his fists and said: "Sect Leader Yan is Gao Yi, but he is not rewarded for his merits. I have never had any friendship with Leader Yan, so I dare not involve him in danger."

Yan Xuan said at night: "In the happy forest that day, I made a promise to little sister Lei Chun in front of many people. If anyone makes things difficult for Gu Xichao, I will definitely stand by his side and protect him well." He squinted at Gu Xichao through the moonlight , "Do you want me to lose my trust in the world?"

Gu Xichao silently cupped his fists and saluted, "Yan leader Gao Yi."

Yan Xuanye waved his hand, "You don't need to be too polite."

He looked up at the sky, and it was already the mid-moon at the time, so he said to the two of them: "You guys have a good rest, you have enough energy tonight, don't hold me back tomorrow."

Today he flashed in from Jinlin's encirclement, looking like a ghost. Although Jinlin has many soldiers and generals, there are very few masters.The vast majority of people didn't even see Yan Xuanye's shadow at all, and even if they saw it, they thought it was just a tree shadow and didn't take it seriously at all.

Even if Yan Xuanye wanted to enter and exit seven times, it was not impossible.

He immediately jumped off the boulder and said to the two people who were looking up at him, "Go to sleep, I'll watch the night."

Early the next morning, after eating dry food and drinking spring water, Yan Xuanye was full of energy and led the way, and said to Qi and Gu, "Give me the golden scales, you just go out."

Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao showed wry smiles, Yan Xuanye's lightness kung fu is excellent, so of course he can come and go freely.But if you want to forcefully break through, no matter how high a person's martial arts is, if he joins the chaos army, he may be useless.

Jinlin's martial arts are not weak at all, only slightly inferior to Qi and Gu.In addition, there were [-] elite soldiers around to help out, so even if they saw one more person coming suddenly today, they didn't take it to heart at all, and immediately came to plunder.

How could Yan Xuanye be polite to him, before he ran close, he drew his saber with his backhand, leaped high, the saber was shining coldly in the morning sun, and went straight to the golden scales riding on the white horse, the target was so obvious. Pounce away.

He moved so fast, when Jinlin realized it, he had only time to get off his horse and hid in the surrounding soldiers in embarrassment.

There were too many soldiers around him, Yan Xuanye drew back his saber and stepped on his horse, turned his head and said to Qi and Gu who had just followed up, "Did you see it? Just rush out like this."

Jinlin had already stood up, he was caught by surprise just now, and he also saw that Yan Xuanye's martial arts were extremely high.Immediately raising his right hand high, the soldiers quickly changed formation, [-] sharpshooters had completed their formation, the bowstring was fully drawn, and when the golden scaled right hand was put down, a thousand arrows were fired.

Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao both changed their faces. These sharpshooters are actually the main attackers who surrounded them with golden scales.

Yan Xuanye hesitated a little.

He once traveled far beyond the Great Wall with his father, and saw the power of the nomadic cavalry when they all shot arrows together.

That is no longer something martial arts masters can easily contend with.

During this hesitation, a sharp piercing sound suddenly sounded.A small black stone pierced through the air and went straight to the right hand of the golden scale.

With a long scream of "ah", Jinlin's right hand, which was held high, suddenly spewed out a flower of blood, and it sank down.

What a powerful internal force!What a powerful hidden weapon!

Yan Xuanye's expression completely changed this time, such a sharp piercing sound, such a small stone, unexpectedly...

He looked into the distance, but suddenly found that the [-] elite soldiers who were originally lined up in an orderly manner suddenly started to change from the rear.

Someone help!

Yan Xuanye didn't need to tell these words, Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao's experience in this matter was far richer than that of the shocking leader who grew up on a high mountain.They have quickly drawn their weapons, flew up, and quickly joined the battle formation.

"Fire the arrow!" Jin Lin's voice sounded suddenly, he actually endured the pain and gave the deadliest order.

The sharp arrow was shot off the string in an instant.

Yan Xuanye's saber was so powerful that none of the sharp arrows could get close to him, but Qi Shaoshang and Gu Xichao didn't seem so relaxed.

Especially Qi Shaoshang.

He had a broken arm, and fought against masters, but he could still use martial arts to make up for his physical insufficiency.But in the random arrow formation, the flaws seemed a bit big.

In his busy schedule, Yan Xuanye looked back at Qi and Gu, took a deep breath, and knew that not only could this go on, but it would probably speed up their deaths.

The light of the knife flashed on the battlefield again.

Only this time, it was aimed at the countless horns and big bowstrings.

Yan Xuanye's lightness kung fu has been used to the extreme, and he rises and falls on the heads of the soldiers almost without touching the ground. Every time the knife light sweeps, at least three or four long bow strings will be broken or broken.

But that's not enough!

At this moment, the domineering sound of the hidden weapon piercing the air sounded again, and it sounded continuously.

Where every stone flies, the same string breaks and the bow breaks, which is both domineering and precise.

The golden scale soon fell into a real embarrassment.

Those who sabotaged behind the formation were none other than Yan Xuanye's personal guards, elites from the three divisions with the highest lightness kung fu among the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions.

Although their total number is less than fifty, the personal guards of the leader of the Jingtian Cult cannot be resisted by ordinary soldiers under Jin Lin.

One stick of incense time has passed, and the situation on the battlefield is still completely reversed.

Jinlin only had time to get on his horse and flee with dozens of remnants.

Yan Xuanye stopped the pursuit of Jiutian Jiubu. The dispute between Jinlin and Qi Shaoshang involved the balance of power between the court and Baidao, and he didn't want to intervene.

Looking back, Qi Shaoshang was already standing behind him, but Gu Xichao at the side...

Yan Xuanye blinked, as if by magic, a large area of ​​bright red suddenly bloomed on Gu Xichao's left shoulder.

"You, you, you..." Yan Xuanye took a few steps forward, supporting Gu Xichao's waist who was about to collapse with one hand, and before he could explain, he flicked his empty fingers with his left hand, and instantly tapped Gu Xichao's arm ten times on his shoulder. Several large holes.

People who know medical skills in Nine Heavens and Nine Departments have already stepped forward, stretched out their hands and brushed Gu Xichao's shoulders, checked carefully for a moment, and replied with an uneasy expression: "Master, I'm afraid..."

Gu Xichao's left shoulder has been broken into pieces, no matter how loyal and skillful he is, it will be difficult to recover.

In other words, Gu Xichao's left hand was useless.

Qi Shaoshang's face turned livid, of course he knew how Gu Xichao got hurt.

Jinlin only shot one arrow in the chaotic formation, and the arrow was aimed at Qi Shaoshang.

But at that time, he had no time to dodge.

How could the arrows shot by Golden Scale compare with ordinary soldiers? Qi Shaoshang was even prepared for serious injuries.

But Gu Xichao, who had been fighting bravely by his side without saying a word, took a wrong step back at that moment.

The arrow came too fast, and when Qi Shaoshang wanted to push Gu Xichao away, there was a soft "chi" and it sank into Gu Xichao's shoulder.

At that time, Gu Xichao, who had turned pale and fell into his arms, just gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to break the arrow, and then immediately raised his sword to fight again.

until all the dust settles.

Recalling that scene, Qi Shaoshang's face became even uglier.

Gu Xichao, who was still leaning against Yan Xuanye's arms, was still pale, but he barely stood up straight, with a proud and strong look on his face.

"I owe you an arm, and now I will give it back to you." Gu Xichao smiled slightly.

His long hair, which had fallen loose during the battle at some point, was blown by the wind, passing over his pale but handsome face, and the white clothes that had already been covered in blood and dust could barely see their original color.

But at that moment, Qi Shaoshang was in a daze and saw the young chivalrous man in white clothes outside the Qitai Restaurant again. With just a smile, the barren restaurant was full of splendor.

It amazed Qi Shaoshang's entire life.

"Don't care about the mistakes of the court for life, and care about the mistakes of the court for life."

It was rare for Yan Xuanye to write down this sentence on paper with some emotion.

Qi Shaoshang returned to the capital, Gu Xichao bandaged the wound and left alone.

The two have been entangled for many years. It's not that they don't like it, but they just go against each other like this. What's wrong?How should his follow-up report be written?

Yan Xuanye simply put down the brush, tilted his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly strode forward and opened the door, turned a few times out of his residence, and walked towards another row of rooms.

The young man with his back to him happened to take off his upper body clothes, revealing his smooth and muscular back.

Under the bronze-colored skin on the arm, there are also muscles full of strength.

Today, the domineering sound of hidden weapons piercing through the air is still in his ears. He never knew that there are such talents under his command. He is afraid that Xie Qinglang, the number one master of hidden weapons in Jing Tianjiao, will not be his opponent.

Yan Xuanye simply raised his jaw, watched the young man throw his clothes on the big bed in the room, and then slowly turned to look at himself.

He blinked and mocked slightly, "I didn't know that the majestic leader of the martial arts world still has the hobby of being someone else's follower."

Huo Nanfeng had no expression on his face.

Although he never showed much expression, it was rare to see Huo Nanfeng with cold eyes when facing Yan Xuanye.

He walked towards Yan Xuanye step by step, and finally stopped in front of him. He lifted him up and pulled him into his arms, stretched out his arms and hugged Yan Xuanye tightly, and buried his head in his lap. On the shoulder, took several deep breaths, and then managed to maintain a calm tone and said word by word: "I should tie you tightly to my side, so that you don't even think about going anywhere! I won't..." He tilted his head and kissed Kissing Yan Xuanye's ear, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you do such a dangerous thing alone!"
