Chapter 103: Flying God Escape, Man in Black, Encounter with Li Xiuning, Lu Miaozi's Request, Four Bandits Attack
"That witch is the Queen of Yin - Zhu Yuyan?"
Qin Shuang looked at Lu Miaozi, he already knew it in his heart.
"It's this witch!"
Hearing Qin Shuang's words, Lu Miaozi's simple face showed a trace of surprise, and then his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice. "Little brother is not simple, he actually knows this evil spirit, ah! I have done two things in my life that I regret for the rest of my life, one of which is falling in love with this woman. I think Lu Miaozi has been conceited all my life, but I have made mistakes again and again. What else can I say?"
Lu Miaozi said this in a low voice, quite regretful.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked sobbing as if he couldn't bear to look back.
Lu Miaozi was silent for a while, then shook his head and sighed, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, go back first! If you are free tomorrow, find time to come here, I still have something to tell you."
Qin Shuang returned to the guest room, sat cross-legged and practiced the Tianshuang Fist.
Less than half an hour later, Ding Buyi arrived at the door and saluted Qin Shuang. "My Lord, I just came back from an old friend and learned that the mall owner had returned at 5pm. The guest she went to pick up outside the ranch was Li Xiuning, the princess of the Li family!"
"Li Xiuning?"
Qin Shuang's eyes flickered when he heard this.
Li Xiuning came here to discuss the matter of war horses.
Qin Shuang knew that Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, would return at five o'clock and might not have time to discuss with him until tomorrow. With this in mind, Qin Shuang asked Ding Buyi to go back while he practiced the Tianshuang Fist.
night.
It was pitch black outside the window, but for a master like Qin Shuang, whose artistic conception, hearing and vision had been greatly improved, it was almost as bright as day.
"Whoosh!"
Nearing midnight, it was quiet outside. Qin Shuang was practicing when he suddenly heard the sound of clothing breaking through the air.
Qin Shuang narrowed his eyes and went out through the window.
I only saw a black shadow going eastward, and in the blink of an eye it climbed up the cliff in the distance and disappeared in an instant.
"This person's Qinggong is quite good. What is he doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?"
Qin Shuang watched the figure go away, his eyes narrowed slightly, and without interfering, he turned back to the guest room. Qin Shuang was about to sit down on the bed when he suddenly heard the sound of clothes fluttering in the distance, followed by Lu Miaozi's voice. "Brother, come to the attic."
"Lu Miaozi asked me to go to the attic?"
Hearing the voice, Qin Shuang's eyes showed a thoughtful look. He immediately stood up, closed the door, used his light body skills, and headed towards the location of the Back Cliff Waterfall.
Not long after.
Qin Shuang came to the attic.
"Little brother, come up!"
Lu Miaozi's old voice sounded.
Qin Shuang climbed up the stairs and came to the second floor. Lu Miaozi, who was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, said to Qin Shuang, "Sit down."
When Qin Shuang sat down.
Lu Miaozi then sat opposite him and slowly said, "Young brother, can you do me a favor?"
"Senior, please tell me."
Qin Shuang was moved when he heard this and nodded.
"I once told you that the two things I regret most in my life are falling in love with that evil woman from the Demon Sect, and betraying Xiuxun's mother Qingya. Since Qingya passed away three years ago, Xiuxun has never come here again, and she also won't let me see her because I betrayed her mother. So, Xiuxun hates me to the core. I once promised her that I would not interfere with the people and things on the ranch."
"She once said that she would rather die than have my help."
"She said that if I ever got involved in the ranch, she would kick me out."
Lu Miaozi spoke softly, her simple face full of melancholy and pain, and murmured, "Although Xiuxun hates me to the core and refuses to acknowledge me as her father, she is my daughter after all, the continuation of Qingya, and I can't just ignore her."
"Now, the world is in chaos, and Pegasus Ranch is also in crisis. As far as I know, Li Mi has joined forces with the four major bandits to sow discord between the ranch and the Li family. The four major bandits will contain the main force of the ranch, and then Li Mi will send people to kidnap Li Xiuning. Once Li Xiuning disappears, the Li family will definitely blame Pegasus Ranch."
"So, I hope that you can help me deal with the four bandits!"
"Of course, I'm not asking you to do this for nothing. I'll give you a treasure in exchange for your help in killing the four bandits and resolving the crisis at the ranch. What do you think?"
After Lu Miaozi finished speaking, he looked at Qin Shuang with eager eyes.
in fact.
With his strength, he can deal with the four bandits, but his injuries have relapsed and he doesn't have much time left. If he forcefully attacks, it will only shorten his life. Most importantly, his daughter Xiuxun hates him to the core and once said that she would rather die than have his help. He doesn't want to leave with his daughter's hatred.
"Senior, why are you so sure that I can kill the four great bandits?"
After hearing what Lu Miaozi said, Qin Shuang's heart moved and he asked in a deep voice.
"Although I live in seclusion here, I often go out to travel around the world. If I don't even know the recently famous 'divine sword' Qin Shuang, am I still Lu Miaozi?"
Lu Miaozi looked at Qin Shuang, his eyes shining, and said, "I feel a sharp state of mind in you, little brother. You have realized the flying knife state of mind before you are 20 years old. This talent is even better than that of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword back then!"
"Besides, my little brother's flying knife can kill with one strike. If you can't even kill the four bandits, are you worthy of being invited by Song Que to the Knife Grinding Hall to learn swordsmanship?"
"As expected of a senior, awesome!"
"Junior agrees!"
Qin Shuang looked at Lu Miaozi and was shocked.
It seems that although he lives in seclusion here, he still has many spies outside who help him get information.
"Okay! It's a deal!"
After Lu Miaozi finished speaking, he took a steel claw from the wall of the inner room and handed it to Qin Shuang, saying: "This - Feitian Shendun - is the treasure I relied on to escape Zhu Yuyan's pursuit. It can be used separately and can catch any object. Of course, you need to be highly skilled in martial arts to use it freely. The steel ring at the end is connected to a rare ice silkworm - silk that is ten feet long. With your true energy, you can make the steel claw as flexible as a human hand, and the silk can be long or short. Today, I don't have the energy to explain it in detail, so you can study it yourself!"
"When you come back, I will give you a chance to be blessed!"
Qin Shuang took the Feitian Shendun and looked at Lu Miaozi with a flash of eyes. "Senior, I have only met you once. How can you trust me so much?"
"Because I am quite good at physiognomy, you have a full forehead, bright eyes, thick earlobes, regular facial features, and a righteous aura. It can be seen that you are a trustworthy person with unlimited future achievements. In addition, I am about to die, so the only suitable choice is my little brother."
Lu Miaozi looked at Qin Shuang and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your trust, Senior Lu. Leave the Four Great Bandits to me!"
Qin Shuang nodded and said.
The next day.
Morning, ten o'clock.
In the guest hall, Luo Fang, dressed in green, walked over quickly and politely clasped his fists towards Qin Shuang. "Master Qin, the owner is waiting at Pegasus Pavilion. Please follow me."
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuang immediately followed Luo Fang to Pegasus Pavilion.
Pegasus Pavilion of Pegasus Ranch is located on the east side of Pegasus Garden. Qin Shuang followed Luo Fang and passed through several halls. Suddenly, a group of people came towards them. The first one had snow-white skin, picturesque features, a sword on his waist, a green tights inside, and a beige cloak. She had the temperament of a woman who was as good as a man.
"Li Xiuning?"
Qin Shuang embraced Li Xiuning who was coming towards him, and his eyes suddenly flashed.
Li Xiuning also saw Qin Shuang at the same time, and was obviously stunned, and smiled slightly. "I didn't expect to see Master Qin here, what a coincidence!"
"Yes!"
Qin Shuang nodded to Li Xiuning, pointed to the front, and said, "Miss Li, I have something to do. Let's talk when we have time."
After saying that, he followed Luo Fang.
"Oh!" Li Xiuning looked at Qin Shuang's back, with deep regret in her beautiful eyes.
recent.
The name of the magic sword Qin Shuang was famous throughout the world. He killed Ren Shaoming and Dugu Ce, occupied Yangzhou, seized Jiujiang, and even captured Jiangdu, occupying three cities.
How great it would be if such a peerless talent could belong to the Li family!
"Princess, this person is Qin Shuang, the leader of the Hidden Dragon Society who recently seized Jiangdu?"
Beside Li Xiuning, Li Gang looked at Qin Shuang's receding back, his eyes flickering, and asked.
"Ah."
Li Xiuning nodded and said, "I tried to recruit this person, but he has great ambitions and wants to dominate the world. He is unwilling to be inferior to others. What a pity."
"Haha. Fighting for world domination?"
"You want to dominate the world after occupying only three cities? How can the world be so easy to conquer? Without a strong foundation, you will only end up dead in the end!"
"This Qin Shuang doesn't know what's good for him. It would be a shame for his ancestors to accept the princess' invitation, but he actually dared to refuse!"
"In my opinion, he may have died at the hands of other rebel kings before King Qin could take action!"
Dou Wei, another expert who came with Li Xiuning, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and sneered.
Li Xiuning looked at Qin Shuang's back without saying a word, obviously thinking that Qin Shuang was no match for his second brother.
Qin Shuang followed Luo Fang and soon arrived at Pegasus Pavilion.
Pegasus Pavilion is majestic, with three majestic characters "Pegasus Pavilion" hung on the door.
at this time.
Sitting in the middle of the hall was a lady in tight clothes with a graceful demeanor. Her beautiful black hair cascaded down her knife-like shoulders like two small waterfalls. She was extraordinarily beautiful, almost comparable to Kankan.
The elegant attire only accentuated her outstanding face and her delicate, tanned, glowing skin, exuding blazing youth and enviable health.
Her beautiful eyes are deep and unfathomable, and her thick eyelashes add to her mystery.
On both sides of the hall stood four pretty maids in colorful clothes.
Qin Shuang, wearing a black cloak with gold edges, walked into Pegasus Pavilion with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
"I went out to greet guests yesterday and kept Master Qin waiting for a long time. Please forgive me!"
When Shang Xiuxun saw Qin Shuang, who was as tall as a mountain and had an extraordinary appearance and temperament, her beautiful eyes lit up and a strange color flashed across them. She immediately stood up and clasped her fists towards Qin Shuang.
recent.
She had long heard of the name of Qin Shuang, the leader of Yangzhou Qianlong Society.
He conquered the Jukun Gang, killed the two Lords of Dragon and Tiger, took over the Dajiang Society, killed Ren Shaoming, one of the two tyrants of Jiangnan, the evil monk and the nun, and recently, he occupied Jiujiang and Jiangdu, and had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. In particular, it was rumored that Qin Shuang's flying knife could kill people with one strike!
She didn't expect it.
This leader Qin is so young!
"You're welcome, mall owner!"
Qin Shuang also clasped his fists to Shang Xiuxun. At this time, the maidservant beside him came forward to pour tea. Shang Xiuxun looked at Qin Shuang and said, "Deacon Liu has already told me the purpose of Master Qin's visit."
Shang Xiuxun paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "It's like this. Before the meeting, we had negotiated with the Li family about this batch of war horses from our Pegasus Ranch. They reserved them and paid a deposit. The Li family is currently stationed in Chang'an and fighting against Western Qin. They need a large number of horses, so they really can't give them away."
"I'm so sorry."
"This"
Qin Shuang frowned slightly when he heard this.
Without war horses, how can we build up our own cavalry?
Without cavalry, how can we resist Li Shimin’s Black Armor Army?
"Master Qin, there is another way. That is to use our channels to buy horses from outside the Great Wall. However, because long-distance transportation requires a lot of manpower and material resources, the price of the horses may exceed the limit and it is not cost-effective."
Shang Xiuxun looked at Qin Shuang, thought for a moment, and said.
Her Pegasus Ranch originally sold horses, and she had always done so in order not to offend any forces, in order to meet the needs of many forces.
"Buying horses outside the Great Wall?"
Qin Shuang was moved when he heard this and asked, "How long will it take to come back?"
Before Shang Xiuxun could answer, a burly bald man with a pipe in hand strode in with two young men. At the door, he said hastily, "Owner, our spies just found out that the vanguard of the four major bandit coalition forces has appeared near our ranch!"
"what?"
Shang Xiuxun's beautiful eyes suddenly turned murderous upon hearing this. She stood up and said in a deep voice, "Call the four deacons and mobilize the ranch soldiers to prepare for battle. Instruct everyone else in the fort to stay in their respective courtyards unless they have been assigned a mission. Violators will be punished according to the family rules! The ranch should be on high alert!"
"Master Qin, four bandits attacked my ranch, and I must go to fight them first. The matter of buying horses will be discussed later. Please forgive me!"
After Shang Xiuxun gave the order, he bowed to Qin Shuang in apology.
"It doesn't matter, we need to fight the enemy first!"
Qin Shuang nodded.
Shang Xiuxun and Shang Zhen left in a hurry.
The atmosphere at Pegasus Ranch became tense.
The sentry towers and city walls that were usually unmanned became heavily guarded.
The able-bodied men in the city left the mountain city in groups and gathered on the plains of the pasture, ready to go to the battlefield.
night.
eight o'clock.
"It's time for me to take action!"
Qin Shuang looked outside the ranch tower in the distance. He did not forget Lu Miaozi's entrustment. He decided to act secretly and kill the four bandits.
Qin Shuang returned to the guest room from the guest hall and prepared the flying knife.
He told Ding Buyi that he was practicing and not to be disturbed, and secretly took out the Flying Divine Escape Claw, left the guest room, and used his light body skills to shoot towards the outer city wall like an arrow. He shot out the Divine Escape Claw in his hand, and controlled the escape claw with his internal energy, grabbing the top of the wall silently, and climbed over the top of the wall in a blind spot between two sentry posts where it was difficult to see. Then he let go of the Divine Escape Claw, climbed over the 15-zhang-high city wall without anyone noticing, and slid down the wall.
Taking advantage of the fact that the guards on the wall tower were all focused on the pastures below the city, he rushed along the wall, looking for a safe place to cross the city river.
The sky is dotted with stars and the moonlight is hazy.
Qin Shuang shot out again and grabbed a stone on the opposite bank. His internal energy flowed through his body from his right Yongquan acupoint, allowing him to shoot to the other side almost flat on the water surface, greatly reducing the chances of being discovered.
Without stopping, he dived into a sparse forest and ran towards the east gorge.
Relying on his flying ability, Qin Shuang easily climbed over the dangerous cliffs and reached the battlefield outside.
Qin Shuang stood on a small hill southwest of the gorge city wall. He saw shadowy figures about three miles away, at least hundreds of them, moving towards the large plain between the hill and the gorge, as if they were going to advance towards the ranch.
About five miles to the northwest, there is a winding river with dense forests on both sides and the sound of horses neighing can be heard faintly.
In between, there is a small village built along the river. There is no smoke from cooking fires, let alone the sounds of chickens or dogs, which shows that all the villagers have fled long ago.
At the mouth of the gorge, soldiers from Pegasus Ranch also poured out of the city wall, showing their determination to fight a tough battle.
Just looking at the actions of both sides, you can tell that a fierce battle is inevitable.
Qin Shuang held the Flying God in his left hand and a flying knife in his right hand. He carried the Snow Shadow Knife on his back, rose up like a giant bird, and leaped down.
