Chapter Twenty-Five: A Good Dog
Li Zhi, the military commander of Western Qin, looked as unpretentious as an old peasant, and if Qin Feng saw him anywhere else, he would associate him with those impoverished border troops of Western Qin, dressed in coarse cloth, with wrinkles on his face like ravines, and a sad face. Compared to Zuo Lixing, who was standing not far in front of him, it was completely like a person from two worlds.
Although he was chased and killed by Li Zhi for three days, Zuo Lixing's clothes still seemed to be spotless, and his face was pale, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Li Zhi, do you really want to lose both?" Zuo Lixing shouted, "Don't force me." ”
Li Zhi raised his head and looked at the other party, his voice was very earnest, "I didn't want to force you, but this time, it is too important to my Xiqin, Zuo Shuai, in fact, I don't have to hide it from you, last winter, there was no snow in our Xiqin, which indicates that this year our Xiqin land will inevitably encounter a rare drought, we are already poor, and if we suffer from this natural disaster, life will not be easy." ”
"I've failed, Anyang County will inevitably be sacked by you, isn't that enough?" Zuo Lixing said angrily.
"Not enough, of course not enough, Anyang County can only save us for a while, but we need at least a year to rob Anyang and destroy your western border army of Great Chu, your emperor will definitely be furious and retaliate, we in Western Qin can't afford to fight this battle, if we can capture Princess Zhaohua, this will have a bargaining chip, so, Princess Zhaohua, I am bound to win." Li Zhi rubbed his hands, "Zuo Shuai, you are a grandmaster-level figure, even if you suffer this defeat and lose Princess Zhaohua, the Great Chu Emperor will not dare to do anything to you, at most it is just a dismissal and dismissal, it really doesn't work, you can still go to the rivers and lakes, you want to run, can they still catch you?" You're the one who is embarrassing me! ”
Hearing this, Zuo Lixing knew that there was no room for manoeuvre, and took a deep breath, "In this way, there is no room for negotiation, you can only see the real chapter, Li Zhi, you don't necessarily win against me?" ”
"It's not necessarily in normal times, but now it's a great opportunity, you are concerned about the safety of Princess Zhaohua, and the first few battles have also lost a lot, but I am recuperating, this battle, I have the right time and place, and I naturally want to take advantage of the situation." Li Zhidao. "I'm not afraid of losing both sides with you, because I still have a lot of subordinates, and your subordinates are dying, Princess Zhaohua is seriously injured, and that Guo Jiuling is about to be unable to crawl, if you fall again, they will be unable to escape."
The two stopped talking, looked at each other, and on the tens of meters of open space between the two, there seemed to be a sudden tornado, and countless dirt leaves were swept up, spinning and flying into the air, Zuo Lixing's face was whiter, and the wrinkles on Li Zhi's face were getting deeper and deeper.
Li Zhi stood steadily, not moving at all, and his coarse cloth coat was like molten iron casting, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality, while Zuo Lixing's green clothes were rippling like ripples in the water.
Zuo Lixing knows very well that he is not in his heyday at all, in the past few days, he has encountered bitter battles, although he has killed many masters who have been pursued, but his loss is not small, and Li Zhi happened to arrive at this time, so he naturally calculated all the details before and after.
In this world, I don't know how many people are confused by Li Zhi's appearance, and they don't know where they lost until they fall, but Zuo Lixing knows very well that the two of them are old rivals. If it weren't for Princess Zhaohua, Zuo Lixing would have left a long time ago, as Li Zhi said, with his identity as a martial arts master, even if the tens of thousands of border troops under his command were defeated, the emperor would not treat himself well, at most he would not be an official. But without Princess Zhaohua, the problem is very different.
If you continue to consume with your opponent, you will definitely lose yourself, and Zuo Lixing has to take a risk.
With a light shout, his body shook, and there were countless left lines in the field, all of them stood up and pounced on Li Zhi, and the sound of wind and rain in the field was loud, and the screams were endless.
Li Zhi snorted, his knees bent slightly, but he didn't look at the figures rushing in the air, his hands clenched into fists, and he struck hard in front of him.
There was a loud thunderclap, the figure disappeared in the sky, Li Zhi took a few steps back, and several holes were torn open in the front chest of the straight coat, revealing the skin inside, and on the skin, several blood stains slowly expanded, and drops of blood seeped out.
Zuo Lixing, however, swept backwards like a big bird in this blow, landing far away on a tree, the branches bounced up, and the person rose with it, and when he fell again, he was gone.
Staring at the back of Zuo Lixing in the distance, Li Zhi's expression was extremely complicated, and he slowly sat down on the ground, Na Yuan hugged one, and began to adjust his internal breath.
"Dashuai!"
"Dashuai!"
Several eager voices sounded around, and there was a burst of hula, and more than a dozen generals of the Qin army appeared beside Li Zhi.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little injury, and after a year and a half, it will be back to normal!" Li Zhi, who opened his eyes, smiled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Li Zhi fought against a grandmaster-level figure like Zuo Lixing, and he only needed to recuperate for a year and a half to be fine, and it was indeed not a major injury.
"Dashuai, what about Zuo Lixing?" An adjutant asked in a low voice.
Li Zhi was silent for a moment, and then said with some sadness: "From now on, there will be one less grandmaster-level figure in the world, who can have such a cultivation and be able to lead the army to fight as a commander of one side, but there are fewer and fewer such people." ”
Hearing Li Zhi say this, several deputy generals couldn't help but smile. For Li Zhi, this is a sad thing, but for them, this is something worth celebrating.
"Deng Pu, you take someone to bring Princess Zhaohua back, remember, don't snub her, this is a distinguished guest, can we Xiqin spend this year safely this year, but it will fall on her!" Li Zhi commanded.
"The last will obey."
"Bian Wushuang, the next Nanyang battle will be commanded by you."
"The last will obey." Another general stepped out of the crowd.
Li Zhi stopped talking, closed his eyes, and silently breathed, and these high-ranking generals of Western Qin stood around him like statues, guarding him.
After about half an hour, Li Zhi opened his eyes sharply and looked at a dense forest in the distance, "Since you're here, why don't you come out and see you?" ”
The surrounding generals were startled, and when they raised their eyes, a masked black-robed man slowly walked out of the jungle.
"Li Shuai was seriously injured, and he is still so deaf and clear-sighted, which is really amazing."
"Who are you?" Bian Wushuang took a step forward, blocking in front of Li Zhi, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with his hand, and was on full alert, these generals present were all masters of martial arts, making people watch on the side without knowing it, which naturally made them frightened.
The man didn't answer Bian Wushuang, but just took another step forward, and Bian Wushuang suddenly felt that the qi around his body was disordered, and the aura that was ready to be released was like an angry tide that wanted to pour out uncontrollably, and he was suddenly shocked.
"Rude." Behind him, there was a cold snort from Li Zhi, like a breeze blowing on his face, the discomfort disappeared in an instant, and Bian Wushuang was furious, and the long sword on his waist was sharply unsheathed.
"Wushuang stepped aside." Li Zhi snorted coldly.
"Unexpected, really unexpected, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, Li Shuai's skills have risen again, and he fought with Zuo Lixing, and he still has such skills, admire and admire."
"You want to kill me?" Li Zhi's eyes narrowed.
"Originally, I did have this intention, Zuo Lixing won't live long, and you are also seriously injured, wouldn't it be great if I could kill you too?" Come humanely.
"This is your master's wishful thinking?" Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why don't you do it again?" ”
"It seems that Zuo Lixing's injuries to you are far less serious than they seem, did you do it for me? Want to lure me out? The person who came laughed: "One you plus these puppies, I really can't kill you, and I may suffer a loss, so I naturally don't do such a loss-making business." ”
"Since you don't dare to do it, then I have to warn you, Princess Zhaohua's matter, you'd better not interfere, otherwise we will break up in two, and when the time comes, it will ruin your master's big business, don't blame me Li Zhi for not being faithful."
The person who came snorted coldly: "In our agreement, we must not harm Princess Zhaohua. ”
"No one wants to hurt him, I just invited him to Yongdu to be a guest for a while, and I will naturally let her come back when the time comes." Li Zhi said indifferently: "In the agreement, we only agreed not to hurt Princess Zhaohua, and did not say that I could not invite her to Yongdu. ”
The visitor was furious: "Sure enough, it's an old fox." ”
"Go back and tell your master, all we want is a year of stability, Princess Zhaohua will stay in Yongdu for a year, with my Li Zhi as a guarantee, there will be no loss of her hair, if you do it, we really can't stop it, but you have to be clear, if our agreement is exposed, what does it mean to your master? Whether Princess Zhaohua is important, or which position is more important, he has to think clearly. ”
"Good, good." The person who came slowly stepped back, "Li Zhi, you also know that if Princess Zhaohua is really missing a hair, a big war between the two countries will be inevitable. In a year's time, we will come to Yongdu to pick up the princess, and I hope your injuries will be healed by then. ”
Seeing that person disappear into the dense forest, Bian Wushuang said impressively: "Li Shuai, who is this person?" ”
"A good dog!" Li Zhi was silent for a long time, shook his head, and said.
