"Chen Qing," Xu Gan said to the stunned Chen Qing under the city gate, "Do you believe in Zhifeng?"

Chen Qing hadn't recovered from what Xu Gan said just now that he wanted to see Li Yuanhao, but he quickly realized their situation: "Xu Gan...are you crazy? You want to see Li Yuanhao? How can he meet us? ?! What does this have to do with Zhifeng...?!"

"When you enter the city, you can find a way to find your mother." Xu Yan was not moved at all: "I think, if she always wants to avenge her own people, then you may be able to find Li Yuanhao in the barracks." Find some clues around you."

"What on earth are you thinking?!" Chen Qing became more and more excited: "Are you going to take us to die?"

Xu Gan glanced at him indifferently: "Put away that piece of jade of yours." He told Chen Qing, "Don't let others see it."

Seeing that he was very calm, Chen Qing gradually calmed down for some reason.While waiting for the guard to come out, he couldn't help asking Xu Gan again: "You...why do you ask me, do you believe in Zhifeng?"

Xu Gan looked up and took a deep breath.At this time, Chen Qing discovered that Xu Gan's eyes were faintly shining red under the sun. "Your eyes..." He asked in surprise, "It seems..."

"He wants me to be like this." Xu Gan's voice sounded more majestic than usual, making Chen Qing even more afraid: "That's what he wants." Xu Gan continued: "But, he wants to control me , I'm afraid...it's not that easy!"

"Remember." Xu Gan said to Chen Qing again: "First of all, no matter who you see or hear later, don't panic. Second, after entering the camp, leave me alone and do what you should do. "

Just as Chen Qing was about to nod his head and answer, the two city gates suddenly and slowly opened from the inside.A tall figure came out leading a line of Xixia soldiers: "Your Highness Yelu, the Emperor asked me to take you into the city."

Chen Qing looked up at Bo's familiar and frightening face, and couldn't help feeling panic and fear in his heart, but when he heard Bo address Xu Gan, he couldn't believe his ears at all, and was stunned. in place.

"Follow me into the city." Xu Gan whispered from the side: "Don't forget what I just said."

After hearing this, Chen Qing stood hesitantly for a while, and finally quickened his pace to catch up with Xu Gan, and walked with him under the tall city gate.

Along the way, Bo and Xu Gan kept quiet.Ling'er woke up on a rare occasion, and Shangshang opened the curtain to look out, describing to Ling'er the street scene of this border town in Xixia.When he came to the gate of the barracks, Bo also unexpectedly discovered that Li Yuanhao and his civil and military officials were waiting there together. Seeing Xu Gan appear, Li Yuanhao ordered his subordinates to bow and salute, while he himself raised his head and raised his hands Patted Xu Gan's arm: "Zhao Zhen is still a child, but he wants Xia and Liao to surrender to him! I knew that Daliao would not sit idly by, and now you can come to Xiping Mansion to fight side by side with me. , we will be able to sweep the Central Plains soon?!"

Xu Gan looked down at him, their eyes met, the red light in Xu Gan's eyes was like a flame, burning more and more vigorously.Li Yuanhao looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help squinting his eyes.Xu Gan looked away and said, "It's a great honor." He led the group behind him and continued walking towards the tent.

After nightfall, Li Yuanhao ordered the battalions to hold a big banquet, but he left early and came to Bo's camp alone.Bo was sitting by the desk, toasting and drinking alone. As soon as Li Yuanhao entered the tent, he asked with a sullen face, "The scholar really delivered the letter? Why is there no movement in Huaiyuan City?"

"You have been arranging Xu Gan's entry into the camp before, so of course you don't know—the guard of Huaiyuan City sent two teams of troops to Huanqing and Qinfeng roads to ask for help early in the morning." Bo now seems to have calmed down. Many, in the face of Li Yuanhao's questioning, he replied calmly: "It's just that whether they can have enough reinforcements is not something you and I can control..."

"It doesn't matter." Li Yuanhao's eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement: "Tomorrow, I will lead my troops out of the city and besiege Huaiyuan!"

"What?! Bo put down his glass and stood up: "Why...why are you so anxious all of a sudden? "

"Because it's time." Li Yuanhao said triumphantly: "Didn't you see Yinglong's appearance today? The evil spirit in his body has been awakened by me, and he... will soon obey my orders. Stained with more blood, in this way, he will not be able to redeem the mistakes he made even if he is reincarnated for thousands of years! Moreover, my battle ax has returned to me, Jitian...you will see it soon power!"

Bo was silent, Li Yuanhao in his eyes seemed to swell up little by little in the candlelight in the tent, his shadow cast on the ground was no longer that strong Xixia figure, but expanded little by little, like A ferocious beast with horns on its head and a huge body like a hill, his shadow quickly covered the entire military tent.

Bo blew out the candle and plunged the entire tent into darkness: "This is very dangerous." He said to the strange yet familiar monster in front of him: "He is Yinglong, no one can control him."

"I can!" Li Yuanhao's voice was almost roaring: "I have the Taotie, I have the Jitian, behind me there is the Iron Harrier Army, and in front of me, there are only those Song people who are greedy for life and afraid of death...no one can..." He repeated over and over again: "No one can stop me from drinking horses in the Central Plains! Those rich lands should have been mine, and those descendants of Emperor Yan and Huangdi will be my slaves for generations..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure appeared at the tent door.Xu Gan stood there with the huge sword behind his back, looking at Li Yuanhao and Bo in the tent with red eyes.They both looked at him at the same time.The expression on Li Yuanhao's face was even more smug. He pointed to Xu Gan and said to Bo: "Come on, if you don't believe me, I can let you see it with your own eyes!"

"Come with me." He said to Xu Gan, while pressing his hand on Xu Gan's arm again, a steady stream of black air rolled into Xu Gan's body, his eyes became more and more cloudy, But the murderous aura emanating from his body caused the soldiers outside the tent to back away uneasy...

At this moment, Chen Qing also sneaked out of the tent. He wanted to see where Xu Gan had gone, but he heard someone behind him calling in a low voice: "Is that you..."

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard the voice lingering in his memory. He turned his head slowly and saw a woman with a veil standing behind him, looking at him with tears in her eyes. he.Before Chen Qing could speak, tears were already streaming down his face. The woman stepped forward and patted his shoulder lightly, and said to him, "You...you really came to me."

"Mother..." Chen Qing broke down in tears and said, "I didn't expect you...you are in such a dangerous situation now."

"It's nothing." The woman in front of her wiped her tears with her hand and said, "Wei Mushi's hatred must be avenged. You also have Wei Mushi's blood on your body. The men in our clan, I have been killed by Li Yuanhao, I can only rely on you...you wait for me..."

Chen Qing waited anxiously for a while, but a Xixia soldier arrived.The man held a set of armor in his hand and said to Chen Qing: "Madam asked me to give this to you. After an hour, you put on this armor and wait here. Someone will come and tell you what to do."

Chen Qing could only agree, and carefully returned to the camp that Li Yuanhao had arranged for them.Shangshang and Ling'er were still there, but Xu Gan still hadn't come back.He was fidgeting and waiting for the time to pass when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Come and see! His Highness Yelu from Daliao and our Xixia warriors are competing in the martial arts arena!"

After hearing this, Chen Qing simply put on the armor and walked towards the martial arts field with the soldiers.Although he hadn't shaved his hair, he was tall and tall, with deep eyebrows and eyes, and he looked no different from Xixia soldiers at first glance.When he followed the people to the vicinity of the martial arts field, he found that it was full of people inside and outside, and he could only hear bursts of applause.He stood on tiptoe and looked in for a while, only to see the scarlet sword energy flashing by, and the cheers turned into sighs. It seemed that no one could defeat Xu Gan. Two Xixia warriors who were as strong as Bo were supported by others. Nei stepped out.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Qing was about to step forward to take a closer look, when suddenly several people shouted from behind him: "Look, let's drive these animals in, let His Royal Highness Yelu show us the riding and shooting skills of the Daliao warriors technique."

Chen Qing thought that they really brought some kind of prey, and when he looked back, he almost yelled at him angrily.It turned out that those people brought here were the prisoners of the Song Dynasty who were locked up with Li Weiming a few days ago. They were tied into a string with a thick hemp rope, and they were driven into the martial arts field one by one staggeringly. In the end, the man turned his head and glared at the Xixia people angrily, and was immediately punched by two soldiers. The poor prisoner fell to the side, and the people in front of him also staggered. Laughing loudly, they all said: "Quickly, untie the ropes in their hands and let them escape for their lives! However, they can't escape from this martial arts arena! I heard that the warriors of Daliao are very good at riding and shooting, and His Royal Highness Yelu will surely be able to hit a hundred shots. Maybe, we can learn two moves as well!"

Chen Qing took the opportunity to squeeze to the front. Looking at Xu Gan, he felt that Xu Gan seemed to be a completely different person. His eyes seemed to be only the shining red light of the Kunwu sword in his hand.Chen Qing looked around anxiously, but all he saw were the arrogant and elated smiling faces of Xixia soldiers and Li Yuanhao on the high platform, he could only silently say in his heart: "Xu Gan...you can't just be reduced to Li Yuanhao's murder tool like this ...you... When will you wake up?!"
