Chapter 419: Straight to the heart, sword and sword shadow
Wearing a black fish scale armor and holding an eight-sided Han sword in his hand, Li Xuan walked slowly from the corridor to the city gate tower with his chest held high and his head held high in the morning light.
The momentum is majestic.
Qiu Zhenmu and Li Zhu stood five steps away from Li Xuan.
In an instant, as he closed the door, countless people's eyes fell on him.
"Your Majesty!" Yan Tao, Zhou Shen, Wang Qin, and Feng Hua saluted Li Xuan at the same time.
On the entire city gate tower, countless soldiers bowed to Li Xuan at the same time and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"Everyone, please stand up!" Li Xuan raised her hand slightly, and everyone in front of her straightened up.
Li Xuan turned around and looked under the city gate.
Two miles away, densely packed gray-clothed instructors spread out along the mountain road.
Thousands of people were placed on this narrow mountain road, which was frightening.
Li Xuan's eyes fell directly on the front of the gray soldiers, a middle-aged bearded man wearing black plate armor and holding a thorn in his hand.
This person is surprisingly none other than Luo Yongjie, the leader of the Muzhou Jiande Branch of the Tianyin Sect.
At this moment, Luo Yongjie looked at Li Xuan with eyes full of grief and anger, and his eyes finally fell on a corpse in the middle of the mountain road.
Wearing a gray robe, he was shot directly through the body with a crossbow arrow. However, he still crawled to the middle of the road, but was nailed to death on the mountain road with long arrows until he bled to death.
Luo Yongjie's adopted son.
"Command, Lieutenant Zhou foiled the enemy's night attack plan and credited him with a turn of events."
Li Xuan shouted lowly, and then the sound clearly reached the ears of every soldier present.
"My subordinates take orders." Wang Qin immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands, and then stepped back.
Zhou Shen quickly stepped forward: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Many soldiers present couldn't help shouting loudly, and their morale was extremely high.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and subconsciously looked in the direction of Lan Xi.
Wang Bo and Yu Ze are now helping him keep an eye on Lan Xi and the way back.
With the two of them here, Lanxi will have endless supplies to send to Meiling Pass.
Coupled with this high morale, guarding Meiling Pass is absolutely foolproof.
As for those under the city, they are nothing more than walking achievements.
…
"Please answer the question, Prince Nanchang!" Outside the city gate, Luo Yongjie suppressed his angry voice, which clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Li Xuan raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, walked behind the female wall, looked at Luo Yongjie in the distance, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"
"Don't the prince think that killing and humiliating people like this is too much?" Luo Yongjie looked at Li Xuan with a look of gnashed teeth.
"Do you know what the crime of rebellion and treason and attacking the city gates are?" Li Xuan looked at Luo Yongjie from a distance and sneered disdainfully: "Confiscation of the family, extermination of the clan, exile without official position, and even very cruel... these twenty
After the defeat years ago, haven't you already experienced it once, so why ask again?"
Li Xuan's words made Luo Yongjie's chest rise and fall uncontrollably.
"Twenty years have passed and you are still as shameless as ever."
Luo Yongjie couldn't help but curse fiercely, and looked at Li Xuan with eyes full of incomparable hatred.
"Your Excellency, you're welcome." Li Xuan said lightly: "Twenty years have passed, and your Excellency is still as timid as ever. If the deception last night was carried out by your Excellency, then today's conversation will be just as timid as ever.
There is no need to continue."
The eyes of everyone present couldn't help but jump, and they subconsciously looked at Luo Yongjie.
At this moment, Luo Yongjie's fists were clenched tightly, and he was more like a wounded beast, wanting to pounce directly.
Twenty years ago, this was a very taboo time.
This not only involves the defeat of the Tianyin Sect that year, but also involves many unknown secrets.
Looking at Luo Yongjie's tightly clenched fist, Li Xuan knew in her heart that the truth about the "meteor falling from the sky" that year had brought not only infinite humiliation to the Tianyin Sect, but also incomparable pain.
At this moment, Li Xuan spoke again: "Last night, when you sent this person here, didn't you already anticipate the dangers involved, so you asked him to be the scapegoat?"
scapegoat?
As soon as Li Xuan said these words, not only everyone in the city gate looked at each other in confusion, but even those in the Tianyin Sect couldn't help but start a commotion.
At this time, Luo Yongjie suddenly calmed down.
He raised his head and looked at Li Xuan, and said coldly: "I never thought that the King of Nanchang would be a sharp-tongued person."
"Your Excellency has given you too much praise." Li Xuan looked down calmly and said calmly: "It's not that I have a sharp tongue, but that you have made too many mistakes in your actions."
"Oh!" Luo Yongjie stared at Li Xuan, his voice clearly ringing in the ears of everyone up and down the city wall.
"First of all, your Excellency came too slowly. If you could have come here after I won this level, then the one standing on top should be you, and the one standing below should be me. It's such a pity.
"It's over." Li Xuan's words made Luo Yongjie's forehead throbbing with veins.
"The one who was guarding here before was not me." Luo Yongjie gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, his eyes becoming completely cold.
"I know that she is the niece of your queen. It's a pity that I knew this news a little late. Otherwise, if I had captured her, I could have sent her directly to the capital of gods to ask for merit." Li Xuan leaned slightly towards her.
Leaning forward, the first trump card has been thrown out.
Luo Yongjie's breathing suddenly became heavy: "Which weakling's mouth did you ask these words from?"
The relationship between Zhang Wanyu, Wen Fuzhi, and Empress Qi was a secret that only a few people knew even within the Tianyin Sect, but this time, it was revealed directly by Li Xuan.
"Your Excellency!" Li Xuan showed a proud smile at the corner of her mouth, then looked at Luo Yongjie and said softly: "It was just a rumor before, but now from your mouth, I have completely got the answer!"
Luo Yongjie suddenly felt his heart beating faster.
Li Xuan stood on the city wall, raised his head, looked towards Jiande in the distance, and said softly: "Actually, I hope that your sect can send more people here this time, because people like you are really too weak...
Defrauding the city, such childish methods can only be thought up by someone like you."
At this moment, Luo Yongjie's eyes turned red instantly.
He pointed a finger in the direction of the city gate and shouted angrily: "Attack, death warrior, destroy him for me."
Luo Yongjie gave the order, and the next moment, hundreds of death warriors wearing black leather armor rushed out.
Hundreds of people were divided into four teams, with wooden shields in one hand and long swords in the other, and they rushed directly towards the city gate.
At this moment, the anger in Luo Yongjie's eyes disappeared without a trace.
He indifferently ordered to the side: "Archers, aim at the King of Nanchang, and after half a quarter of an hour, release the arrow!"
"Obey the order!" The bodyguard beside him immediately went down quickly to deliver the order.
…
Li Xuan on Guancheng suddenly frowned. Luo Yongjie did not directly send all his men to rush forward.
It seems that he still has some brains.
At this time, Li Xuan turned around and looked aside: "Arrowmen, release arrows immediately. None of these people are allowed to be placed under Guancheng."
"Here!" Dozens of crossbowmen immediately stepped forward, stood on the crenel, faced the black death warriors below, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Almost in the blink of an eye, all ten crossbow arrows in the crossbow box were fired.
Hundreds of crossbow arrows, like a swarm of black locusts, landed directly on the heads of the hundreds of death warriors.
"Ding ding ding!" Even though they were protected by wooden shields, a large number of the daredevils below died immediately.
The powerful power of the crossbow caused the shields in the hands of these daredevils to tilt.
It was at this time that the archers who had been prepared behind them instantly moved forward, taking the place of the crossbowmen, and accurately shot and massacred the death warriors below who had exposed their shortcomings.
The long arrow was shot from mid-air with unusual precision, and then directly tore the throats of the black-clad death warriors, and blood spurted out even more.
After a large rain of arrows, less than half of the remaining black-clad daredevils were left at the gate of the city.
Li Xuan watched all this calmly. Although the people of Tianyin Sect have undergone considerable training, they have not undergone stress resistance training.
Once you encounter a strong enemy, all your flaws will be revealed.
Luo Yongjie watched all this calmly. The moment the archers on the city wall fired long arrows, he gave the order: "Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows!"
At the moment when the black-clad daredevils were charging forward, Luo Yongjie had quietly led his men a dozen steps forward and brought Li Xuan, who was in Guancheng, directly within the scope of the crossbow.
In an instant, dozens of cold arrows shot straight towards Guancheng.
Li Xuan, as well as the archers who did not retreat after releasing their arrows, were immediately threatened by the bows and arrows.
Unfortunately, there was always a slight delay between the top and bottom, and a dozen archers hid behind the female wall at once.
