The female emperor fights, captures Yang Yuhuan at the beginning

Assassin Qin Lang had met several times, but this was the first time he had met someone who would draw his sword to help when the road was uneven. Qin Lang did not believe in his heart that anyone would help for no reason.

His first reaction was that this was definitely a bitter plan, in order to let Qin Lang relax his vigilance, and then that person would suddenly counterattack, and it was very likely that Qin Lang would be killed when Qin Lang was unprepared.

Qin Lang was very cautious and kept a wait-and-see attitude until he had figured out the specific situation.

Chapter 0197 Broken Knife Li Chenmei (New Year explosion four)

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the blue moon is slanting.

On Bodhisattva Street, there is a swordsman who seems to have entered the land of no one. He is holding a dark gold broken knife, and the knife is shining with stars. There are golden dragon phantoms around him, and the sound of dragon chant echoes endlessly.

When the knife falls and the stars fall, it seems that there is a galaxy descending from the sky.

Qin Lang, who was holding the vegetable leaf, stared straight at this moment. The swordsman who came out of the blue had such superb sword skills that even Qin Lang was extremely impressed.

Qin Lang was amazed just by the half-seeing saber energy used by the swordsman. Sure enough, there are so many wonders in the world. In terms of this saber technique alone, Qin Lang has never seen or heard of it.

Because of the appearance of the swordsman, except for some of the assassins who assassinated Qin Lang surrounded the carriage and Qin Lang to prevent Qin Lang from escaping, the rest rushed towards the swordsman.

On the street, the swordsmen raised and lowered their swords decisively, and none of their actions was superfluous. Even when encountering hundreds of well-trained assassins, they were not timid at all.

There is a kind of lofty ambition that I smile to the sky from the sword, the human sword is integrated, the human blocks and kills, and the domineering momentum of Buddha should destroy Buddha is vividly displayed.

Qin Lang is good at swords. He always feels that swordplayers are too pretentious and domineering when they don't have two swords in their hands.

Facts have proved that whether it is an army formation or a group of enemies single-handedly, dual knives are the most practical, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, and great lethality.

If the swordsman in front of him was not an assassin, there must be a reason for his sudden help. When meeting such a powerful master, Qin Lang would have to grab a handful of wool no matter what.

So Qin Lang asked at the top of his voice, "A hero is very good at swordsmanship, where did he come from?"

Hearing the words, the swordsman made a roundabout chop, quickly eliminated the threat around him, half-kneeled on the ground, lightly supported the bamboo hat with his left hand, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "Dunhuang Broken Sword Li Chenmei, thanks to Jiang Taigong's guidance, came to join him Under the lord's tent, I wanted to show up to recognize each other, but I didn't dare to destroy the lord's pampering heart, so I hid my whereabouts and protected me all the way, seeing the assassin ambushing, I should bravely kill the enemy to repay the favor of the grand lord."

Qin Lang naturally stopped worrying if the other party could report Jiang Ziya's name, thinking that the old man who traveled far away should come back after a year of absence.

"That's good, but do you know when the Grand Duke will return to Qin?"

"Back to my lord, the grandpa never told me."

Qin Lang was a little helpless, but thinking about it, this kind of character was really unrestricted to come and go freely, even he couldn't force others.

"Since it was recommended by my grandfather, and my sword skills are so good, I will stay with me as a personal guard for now, and I will make detailed arrangements in the spring of next year. I wonder if this arrangement is appropriate?"

The swordsman Li Chenmei slashed open the assassin in front of him, and greeted Qin Lang with fists at a very fast speed: "Follow the order of the lord, there are many assassins, the lord is careful, wait for the subordinates to cut off the head of the master behind the scenes, and then salute and thank the lord."

As soon as the words fell, Li Chenmei walked around her body with a sword light, and quickly shuttled through the group of assassins towards the west of Bodhisattva Street.

Qin Lang glanced at the 30 to [-] people surrounding him, grinned and said, "What? Don't you dare go up?"

Before the assassins could react, Qin Lang raised his toes, and the steel knife under his feet came to his right hand in an instant. He weighed it slightly, and it felt good.

Thinking of the saber technique that Li Chenmei performed just now, Qin Lang closed his eyes slightly, and quickly played many images repeatedly in his mind.

Seeing Qin Lang being so overbearing, the surrounding assassins looked at each other without hesitation and raised their knives to attack Qin Lang.

At this moment, Qin Lang's eyes opened instantly, imitating Li Chenmei's saber technique, using the spiritual power stored in his belly, slashing his wrists, and then slashed horizontally on the left and right sides.

When the knife was withdrawn, more than 20 people who had just rushed up from all around were instantly killed. Everyone was cut in two, and blood spurted wildly, like a rain of bright red blood.

Seeing this, the other assassins hiding in the dark withdrew one after another, and Qin Lang's exposed strength was already at a level that they could not compete with.

If he rushed up again at this time, he would die in vain.

Throwing away the steel knife in his hand, Qin Lang grabbed the reins again and walked towards Leisure Square with Cai Yezi in his arms.

The appearance of the assassin this time made Qin Lang feel a little strange. Compared with the previous few times, the assassin this time did not seem to be as unexpected as before.

Moreover, the scale of the assassin this time was different from the previous ones, so Qin Lang had a hunch that the assassin this time was not the same mastermind behind the previous assassins.

The original one would rather not make a move than attack Qin Lang so blatantly.

Qin Lang believed that this assassination operation had something to do with those aristocratic families in Dragon City.

However, there is no evidence for the time being, and it is impossible to determine which channel the assassin came from. It is very likely that Li Chenmei will give him the answer.

As for this Dunhuang swordsman, Qin Lang wasn't worried. After all, he was able to get into the eyes of the Grand Duke, and he was by no means a vulgar person.

Taking the initiative to ask for a job shows that this person has absolute confidence in his own strength. As long as he can come back with a big victory, his strength is unquestionable. Stay by his side to be a capable bodyguard, and avoid having to take action by himself in the future.

It's not that Qin Lang is afraid of killing people with his hands. The key is that if there are too many hands, there will be no secrets. When encountering major dangers in the future, he will lose the effect of winning by surprise.

He believes that those who regard him as an enemy must be collecting all his information, and then gather together to study countermeasures.

Once Qin Lang played all his cards, it is very likely that he will be in fatal danger soon.

There are already too many shots in Dragon City, it's time to hide your strength.

After walking for a certain distance, the vegetable leaf in his arms seemed to be stuffy for too long, and he felt short of breath, so he secretly opened the brim of his hat and asked, "Master, are we safe?"

Only then did Qin Lang put down the vegetable leaves, took her by the hand and said, "Some youngsters are nothing to worry about. We're almost home, let's walk a little faster."

Cai Yezi hummed, grasped Qin Lang's big warm hand, and tried to make her small steps as big as possible.

Although Cai Yezi didn't get hurt when she was lying in Qin Lang's arms just now, she actually saw the whole scene. Those killings were nothing compared to what Qin Lang did before.

But in her heart, she secretly swears that when she grows up, she must be by Master's side, just like Master is protecting her in his arms now.

All the way back to Kangle Square smoothly, Bai Ruoruo and Ye Qingxuan who had been guarding the door had already had cold hands and feet.

Cabbage caterpillar took the rein from Qin Lang's hand consciously. Looking at the beautifully dressed younger sister, he didn't even dare to reach out to hold it.

He just took the candied haws from Cai Yezi's hand, and walked behind everyone, crunching each bite, using the crackling sound in his mouth to cover up the choked up tears that were pouring out of his mouth.

Looking at his younger sister who was walking in front and being led by Master, he was happy even though she was crying.

Chapter 0198 The person hiding behind (New Year explosion five)

It was already the next morning when Li Chenmei returned to Kanglefang.

Outside the gate of the Juyi Hall of the warehouse, her whole body was covered with dark red blood stains, with countless wounds, and Li Chenmei was almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

When Qin Lang got the news, he rushed over and asked Er Gouzi to call for a doctor first, while he used his spiritual power to stop Li Chenmei's bleeding.

Feeling a pure force entering her body, Li Chenmei understood the reason why the grandpa asked him to come. Following such a master, even if there is only a slight chance, one day it is possible to break through the shackles of the world and become an existence like the grandpa.

With a little bit of strength and spirit back on her body, Li Chenmei wanted to bow down, but was stopped by Qin Lang.

"On non-important occasions here, there is no need to salute. Seeing that you are so seriously injured, tell me what kind of formidable opponents you have encountered?"

Li Chenmei was a little ashamed, but she still slashed the opponent's leader with her hand, raised her finger slightly and pointed at the head of the man and said: "This man is a retired frontier army commander, and his subordinates are all desperadoes, and his actions are the killing skills in the army. I am afraid of death, even if I have a small skill in swordsmanship, it is still difficult to face thousands of people, but fortunately, my subordinates caught some mistakes of the opponent and took it down."

"Through interrogation and torture, this group of people arrived in Dragon City only two days ago. Someone hired them at a high price. As for who paid the money, even they themselves don't know."

"These people have their own system, which they call the Dragon List, which is actually a reward list in the black market, but the grade is much higher than that of the black market, and people without strength cannot access this list."

"They reveal the list, and when they complete the task, they can get high rewards. If they fail to complete the task, they will basically end up decapitated."

"Give me some time, my lord. When I sneak into those people's circles, I will definitely find the person who posted the list."

Qin Lang felt that Li Chenmei's injury had stopped, so he withdrew his hand, squatted beside him and asked curiously: "It's the first time someone issued a reward order. I don't know where I am on the dragon list?"

Li Chenmei didn't expect Qin Lang to be concerned about this, and she said in astonishment: "I heard that the lord is ranked eighth."

Qin Lang spat to the side, and said angrily: "You really look down on people, what kind of bullshit list."

Seeing Er Gouzi bring the doctor over, he comforted Li Chenmei a few words, which means let him recuperate in Leisure Square first, and then go after the mastermind behind the scenes when he recovers, so don't worry too much.

Then he called the cabbage caterpillar brother and sister over, and asked Li Chenmei to teach the two of them sword skills when they were free.

After discussing with Bai Ruoruo about the construction of the Kangle Square, Qin Lang handed over the full authority to Bai Ruoruo to manage the Kangle Square.

Qin Lang had only one request, the project must be completed before the New Year's Eve, and basic necessities and food for the New Year had to be distributed from door to door.

The most important thing is the life and study of cabbage caterpillar and cabbage leaf, etc. He doesn't want to see two wild children running around like every family next time.

Bai Ruoruo understood what Qin Lang meant, and she had already made many plans and arrangements in her heart. She had indeed neglected the two children before, and she would train them well in the future, and she would never disappoint anyone.

After explaining everything, Qin Lang left Kanglefang and returned directly to Xianyang City from Tianji Building.

It had been six days since Bai Qi's troops attacked Pingzhou with lightning, and it was exactly one week when Qin Lang returned to Qin Palace.

Upon receiving the news of Qin Lang's return to the palace, Xun Yu and Zhuge Liang rushed over immediately.

Seeing the two of them coming to Qin Wang Palace, Qin Lang didn't say much, and directly asked about the current battle report.

Zhuge Liang came to the huge map on the side of the hall and introduced the current situation in Pingzhou in detail.

In a word, it is overwhelming. In six days, Bai Qi's army has captured all the cities except Pingzhou City.

Of course, some of these cities were directly handed over by Wu Qi's troops from Gan Ning's troops, and the northern cities where Bai Qi was located were the ones that really had swordsmen.

At present, the Bai Qi Army and Wu Qi Army have stabilized the large and small cities they occupied, and are leading the main force to besiege Pingzhou City.

In addition, Wang Yanzhang and Zhao Yun's troops successfully intercepted and killed Leizhou soldiers who fled in panic at the border of Leizhou and Pingzhou.

Taking advantage of the situation, the two cavalry disguised themselves as deserters, and took down Xilei City, Pinglei City on the western border of Leizhou, and Leishan Pass, the pass from Pingzhou to Leizhou.

Xilei City, Pinglei City and Leishan Pass form a triangle with each other as horns. After Zhao Yun and Wang Yanzhang took it down, they quickly asked for help from Bai Qi's troops.

Bai Qi ordered Wu Qi to keep half of his troops, and let him lead the remaining half to guard Xilei, Pinglei and Leishan Pass.

Hearing this, Qin Lang couldn't help laughing. The Leishan Pass was taken without any effort, which was equivalent to opening the west side of Leizhou.

Wanting to win Leizhou is purely a matter of time. As long as Bai Qi wins Pingzhou City, he can always attack Leizhou.

"How did the southern states react to this?" Qin Lang asked.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "There are no countermeasures yet, and they should have just received the news. After all, the incident happened suddenly, and it will take time to deal with it."

Qin Lang nodded and continued to ask, "Did Bai Qi say how long it would take for Pingzhou City to be taken?"

"General Bai Qi only said that he could win it a year ago, but the exact time is still hard to say."

Qin Lang didn't want to urge Bai Qi, this time with the help of Shenjiying and Shenyuanying, no matter how strong Pingzhou City was, it would not escape the moment when it was captured.

As for how Bai Qi won Pingzhou, he didn't care, and Qin Lang felt a little uninterested in such an unsuspecting battle.

According to the current situation, Li Jing is sticking to Jingzhou, threatening the west of Gongzhou, and Bai Qi is in Pingzhou, threatening the south of Gongzhou.

Wu Qi occupied the western gateway of Leizhou, eyeing it like a tiger, and almost took all the initiative.

Under the current situation, the life of the Li Ming family is not easy. Whether it is war or peace, it depends on the attitude of the Southern Six States.

However, judging from the original plan, Qin Lang would not launch an attack on the southern states for the time being, and the time was not yet ripe.

On the one hand, it will take a lot of time to win the two northwestern states, and on the other hand, it will take a lot of time to consolidate Pingzhou.

Qin Lang's best solution now is to continue to act as a behind-the-scenes retreat in the southern states, and do everything possible to create chaos.

As for dealing with Dingzhou and Liangzhou after the beginning of the new year, it depends on how Zhuge Liang's military division formulates its strategy.

Whether it is Dingzhou or Liangzhou, there are basically no loopholes to pick this time, and it is entirely the frontal battlefield that speaks with strength.

According to the news sent back from the front, there are tens of millions of Chen Bing in Dingzhou, Liangzhou, almost a ratio of three to one, and it seems that they are going to die to the end.

Qin Lang couldn't bear this. If the elite of the Qinzhou army were all on the battle in these two states, it would inevitably cause heavy casualties and losses.

This kind of offensive and defensive battle of the crowd consumes the most troops on both sides. Qin Lang is worried that if the loss is too large, it will prolong his use of troops in the south.

The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for him.

Chapter 0199 Sisters against each other (New Year explosion [-])

In the city lord's mansion in the main city of Leizhou, Zhao Feiyan's face was whiter than snow looking at the secret letter in his hand.

The younger sister, Zhao Hede, was very thoughtful, and at a glance, she knew it was not a good thing, so she asked cautiously, "Sister, is it the war in the west?"

At this moment, Zhao Feiyan was in a state of confusion, and handed the note in her hand to her younger sister, pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pot, with dark clouds already gathering between her brows.

After reading the secret letter, Zhao Hede also became very sad.

"What should I do, sister, if Leishan Pass is breached, wouldn't it mean that Qin Lang can enter the hinterland of Leizhou anytime and anywhere? He also has the two cities of Xilei and Pinglei in his hands, this..."

For Zhao Feiyan, although she was Qin Lang's counselor, she never cared about him in life or study.

How should I put it, for a transfer student like Qin Lang, if his parents hadn't made a special trip to say hello, as a counselor, she didn't need to pay attention.

In other words, apart from Qin Lang's name, she could not remember what this person looked like or what his personality was.

Although I have seen it several times in the Tianji Building, it was from a distance, I couldn't see it clearly, and I didn't communicate with him in detail, let alone what kind of person Qin Lang was.

In the past two years, Qin Lang's rapid development in the west was well known. Zhao Feiyan had no intention of making Qin Lang an enemy.
