Chapter 107 Casting a sword is like casting a heart
The commander of the Chi Ling Army, Tan Wen'e, was wearing a sharp edge, crossed a horse and sporting a sensation, and headed straight for Chi Yunguan with a cool look.
This mighty momentum is enough to make people feel disappointed.
At least, Commander Tan himself was intoxicated!
With such a mighty and evil spirit, who can't be impressed by the world? Just Cheng Kai's little face? Compared with this commander, it's a joke!
His deputy general Tan Xiu also rode a tall horse and followed the commander in a low-key manner, whispering: "Master Commander, Yan Li is just an illegitimate son of the Han family. Just send a small soldier to recruit him. Why do you need to mobilize the troops like this?"
"I don't know!" Tan Wen'e curled his lips and whispered, "Didn't you read the military newspaper last night?"
"Uh... I had a banquet last night, and the girls were very enthusiastic, so I won't go on..." Without further ado, I knew that this guy was drunk after drinking flower wine. I only remember Hu Tian and Hu Di, so why did he pay attention to military newspapers?
Seeing this, Tan Wen'e felt superiority arises and said to himself: Look, the Tan family and the Chi Ling Army, or I, Tan Wen'e, can achieve great things, and everyone else is a bag of wine, which is insignificant!
He thought so in his heart, but there was no criticism on his lips. He just snorted coldly: "Last night, Chi Yunguan held a Langhua Dan Banquet. Yan Li took out seven kinds of elixirs in one breath, shocking the guests. All the cultivators agreed that he was an alchemy genius. Even Zhan Baiyang, the high priest of Jianzhuyuan, met in person after the banquet! If such a person can be held in his hands, will we still worry about the resources of elixirs when we practice in the future?"
"So that's it!" Tan Xiu suddenly realized, "No wonder the commander summoned his brothers to Linze Town early in the morning. It turned out to be a visit to the alchemy master! The commander really loved soldiers like his sons. He always thought about his brothers!"
He didn't think about it when he spoke. Now it's past. It's already ninety o'clock in the morning to convert it to the Earth hour. How can I talk about this "early morning"?
Tan Wen'e did not blame this. What he thought was: if you really take the alchemy master under your command, your commander's cultivation will be a thousand miles a day, so how can you do your best to pay attention to you Qiu Ba? But you said, "That's true. As a commander, you must always think about your brothers! But you also remembered me: Although Yan Li was born in a lowly and not worth mentioning, the alchemist was even a pill master, and I would respect me! Whoever ruined the big thing, I will never forgive him!"
"Yes. Yes!" Tan Xiu responded with the Red Peel Army, "Think of the Han family is really stupid. Such a genius has been buried for so many years! Yan Li was bullied by the Han family when she was a child. She was bound to be disloyal and moral, and it is not a short time to make up for it. The commander of this trip will surely be successful!"
"Hahaha..." Tan Wen'erlang smiled, "I hope he knows the truth!"
——…—
But Tan Wen'e didn't know that their private conversation was clearly heard by Chi Yunguan's method of illuminating the body.
It is also because the Tan family is used to being domineering in the Chiling Army and has never suffered any hardships on weekdays. They have no idea how to prevent them.
When Han Xi heard this, he was so angry that he grinned. Originally, joining the Chi Ling Army and fighting fiercely with the barbarians in the southern border was the man's passionate glory. Now, seeing the true face of his immediate boss, he felt that his passion was full of shame!
"Uncle Li, this..."
"Your immediate boss has arrived. Wouldn't you go to greet me?" Yan Li said.
"Uncle Li..."
"For the sake of the ancestors of the Tan family, who had followed the prince to fight in the north and south, I would like to give him three sentences of opportunity to defend himself." Yan Li said lightly.
Han Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light: "I understand!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door. Yan Li said slowly behind his back: "When you go back and forth, why do you practice martial arts and swords?"
Han Xi paused, and the martial arts process from childhood to adulthood reflected in his mind. He walked out of Chi Yunguan gate with a bit of tranquility.
"The last general Han Xi is the leader." He clasped his fists at Tan Wen'e who was riding on the horse at Chi Yunguan's door.
"Han Xi." Tan Wen'e agreed lightly, "You're late."
If it were the usual, Han Xi could only admit his mistake under the military rules. But now, how could he take the majesty of commander seriously? He immediately retorted: "I will wait for the commander for one day at the end of yesterday, and today I will inevitably be lazy."
"Hmph..." Tan Wen'e snorted coldly and scolded majesticly, "For Master Yan, I will forgive you this time."
After saying that, he stepped onto Chi Yunguan and the Chi Lingjun behind him also followed him and left Han Xi in.
If it were the case before, Han Xi would have thought it was a punishment. But now, he only had the cold light flashing in the corners of his eyes, and followed Tan Wen'e silently.
Tan Wen'e turned over and dismounted in front of Yan Li's courtyard.
Tan Xiu behind him shouted loudly: "General Tan Wen'e, the commander of the Chiling Army of Nanchu, has arrived, and the people inside are still coming out to greet him?"
Tan Wen'e had a tacit understanding, and immediately shouted loudly: "What's the noise! How can you let me be arrogant in front of Master Yan?"
The Chiling Army immediately fell silent.
Tan Wen'e nodded with satisfaction, tidied up his clothes and armed with dozens of red-feathered troops, and majesticly stepped into Yanli's courtyard.
During the whole process, Han Xi watched coldly and watched the performance of this group of "Elite Soldiers of Southern Chu". He recalled the scenes of practicing martial arts since childhood and joining the army in Nan Chu?
Why practice martial arts? Why practice swords?
This answer has long been blurred, and it seems that daily martial arts practice has become an instinct.
In the army, we practice martial arts exercises every day and often fight. In order to maintain the tacit cooperation between the military, even if there is a superior inheritance, we can only practice privately. During exercises and combat, we can only use military moves.
It was a difficult period. Not only was the military rules strict, but he was often scolded and punished by his superiors. In just two or three years, he had worn away all the edges of his body. Since then, he only practiced martial arts habitually every day, obeyed orders like a doll, and never thought about why.
So, what about before joining the army?
He is a young genius of the Han family. He broke through the cultivation of energy at the age of fifteen and reached the skin tempering, and won countless glory for the Han family. At the age of eighteen, he was already the peak of skin tempering and was considered a new star in the military.
But in the past two years, he has not made any progress, as if the genius of the past has become the same as everyone else.
Why did I practice martial arts when I was a teenager? Why did I practice swords? Why did I be willing to work hard every day. I kept sweating in the sun and spent one boring cold and heat after another?
Slowly, Han Xi remembered her childhood self.
He was born in Jianchuan City and grew up in a martial arts family. He has listened to countless legends of swordsmen since he was a child, and he always recalls the dingdang of the sword casting...
Since he became sensible, he has longed for heroes in the world and for the peak of martial arts.
A sword can have no edge, but a hero can have no bones?
The sword is the heroic spirit; the martial arts is the heroic spirit.
Who knew that after practicing martial arts for decades, I actually forgot my original intention to practice martial arts...
Han Xi's thoughts instantly changed, as if he had returned to the enterprising self when he was young!
When I looked up again, I re-examined the Chi Ling army in front of me, and when I looked at my immediate superior, I found that the image of the most powerful army in Southern Chu that my predecessors had long collapsed, and the legendary robe of King Shangwu who swept across the Northern Mang had long disappeared.
What remains are just a group of pretenders!
It’s ridiculous that Tan Wen’e thought he was wise and powerful. He didn’t know that his every move had been clearly seen by Uncle Li’s method. He proudly stepped onto Chi Yun and wanted to direct and act as a wise and polite person at the gate of the yard!
Han Xi's eyes became colder, and he followed Tan Wen'e into the courtyard.
"I heard about Master Yan's reputation for a long time. Mr. Tan came to visit today!" Tan Wen'e said while bypassing Xiao Qiang and looking into the courtyard.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he felt a little awe.
There was a stone table in the small courtyard, and two people sat opposite each other.
One of them is in his twenties. He is so majestic and humble that he is powerful without anger. It is as if a green lotus appears on the water surface, traversing the mud without stain. If there is another occasion, he will definitely attract the attention of everyone.
When Tan Wen'e cut his eyes, he almost thought that this was Master Yan. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was not the right person - it was said that Yan Li was only a 16 or 17-year-old boy, and this person was obviously older.
So his eyes fell on the boy opposite the person and realized that the boy was even more amazing.
The young man was sixteen or seventeen years old, which was consistent with the rumors about Yan Li. He had a handsome face, but nothing surprising. He was dressed only in an ordinary cotton gown, without any decoration, which seemed a bit shabby. Therefore, he would be ignored at first sight.
But if you look closely, you will find extraordinary.
Dozens of soldiers from the Red Leather Army rushed in, and their momentum was of course extraordinary. Even the noble young man looked at him, but the young man didn't even raise his eyelids, and he still smiled and looked leisurely.
This is the spirit that only people in a family who have been in high positions for a long time have.
Based on this point alone, Tan Wen'e concluded that this young man is Yan Li, and - a young genius, which is difficult to deal with!
After he finished speaking the opening remarks of the visit, the boy's eyes finally fell on him. His diluted gaze seemed to hit the deepest part of his heart, and he looked through inside and out.
Although Tan Wen'e is a soldier who is different from others and has many problems with playboys, he is born in a wealthy family and his vision is definitely not easy. In the moment he saw him, he realized that what he originally thought was to deal with poor geniuses, which was completely unsatisfactory!
The information is wrong, and this Yan Li is not easy to deal with!
But now it's too late to find the error.
After Yan Li glanced at Tan Wen'e, he said calmly: "General Tan is so slow, he even missed the funeral ceremony of Senior Yu!"
If someone else said this, Tan Wen'e might retort or ignore it at all, but now he is afraid of Yan Li, how dare he be so casual? He said carefully: "Senior Yu and the Chi Lingjun of Nanchu are not in an open manner, and the prince's robe is still secret, so the general has to bear the pain and miss the good time and wait for the future worship!"
This sentence is also considered to be both emotional and emotional, but it is a joke for those who are in the know.
Han Xi, who stood behind Tan Wen'e, curled his lips indecisively and said to himself: We all heard it just now. Last night, all of you were drinking flower wine in Jianchuan. How could you take Senior Yu's funeral to heart? Secret? Even if it is a secret, wouldn't you come to worship the old hero with the excuse of the Chi Ling Army pursuing evil cultivators? Poor General Tan, you don't know that you violated Uncle Li's Ni Lin, so don't blame the "last general" for being ruthless!
Yan Li's face was still calm and she did not pursue the matter too much. Instead, she introduced: "This is the prince's great-grandson, Shang Shaoqing, won't the general pay a visit?"
"Uh..." Tan Wen'e was stunned and speechless for a moment. Logically speaking, as a descendant of King Shangwu's robes, he should visit him when he saw the prince's direct descendants. But... Could it be that he, as the commander of the Southern Chu Chiling Army, wanted to give a gift to an actor in the martial arts world? Actors, etc., when he was drinking wine last night, he had teased several of them!
He also had some "urgent wisdom" and paused and said, "The prince's bloodline has always been the best, regardless of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate. If there are those who are astonishing as Master Yan, they will naturally respect them. If you are a mediocre person, please forgive me for putting armor on your body, which is inconvenient to be full of courtesy!"
Not to mention Yan Li, even Han Xi behind him could not hide his little thoughts. Especially the dozens of people under him, after hearing Shang Shaoqing's identity, even looked disdainful, and obviously did not take the descendants of King Shangwu seriously.
"Ha." Yan Li chuckled, still not commenting, and said calmly, "Then there is only one last question: What are the benefits of your Tan family taking over the Jade Emperor Temple, and how dare you betray the prince?"
This faint sentence was like a bolt from the blue, scaring Tan Wen'e into a cold sweat and exclaiming: "How could this happen--ah..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He lowered his head and saw a piece of sword tip coming out of his chest.
He turned his head in disbelief and only saw Han Xi's resolute face. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
