General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

The army camped in the outskirts, and there were no farmers around, so it was very quiet at night, except for the faint crackling of firewood burning outside the military tent.

The curtains of the main tent are thick and thick, as if a breeze had blown them, the curtains moved slightly without making the slightest sound, and a black shadow came in from outside the main tent. Walk towards the couch.

Seeing the raised figure on the couch, the black shadow raised his long knife without hesitation and slashed down!

With a knife down, the cotton wool was flying, but no one was seen.

Hei Ying sensed something was wrong, turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly there was a chuckle behind him, and a sharp long sword was held against his neck.

"Say!"

The voice of the person behind him was loose and cold, "Who sent you to assassinate Gu?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black shadow bent suddenly, and was about to turn into a puff of black smoke in an instant, rushing towards the door.

There was a flash in Huo Changying's eyes, he turned his wrist, and the barrier covered the entire military tent. The black figure that rushed to the tent was instantly bounced back by the invisible wall of light, rolled to the ground, and turned into a human again.

pat!

At the flick of a finger, the originally dark military tent was instantly brightly lit.

Huo Changying stepped on the chest of the man in black, looked down at the assassin in night clothes from above, his eyes were cold, "I'll ask you one more time, who sent you to assassinate Gu?"

The man in black struggled for a while, only to find that he couldn't move for a moment. He looked at the person in front of him in horror, too, the prince has cultivation?The next moment, he tilted his head and rolled his Adam's apple.

"broken."

Huo Changying murmured inwardly, but his blows were like wind, but he didn't stop the man in black from moving. After a while, the man in black vomited blood, and he was already out of breath.

Looking down at the dead assassin, Huo Changying gradually frowned.

Even if they are stationed temporarily, the main tent is heavily guarded, and there should be guards for personal protection, but Huo Changying, fearing to expose his flaws, proposes to sleep alone in the main tent, but there are still many night guards around the door.

But what he didn't expect was that the person who wanted to assassinate him or the prince would know sorcery?

Huo Changying lowered his head and carefully inspected the man in black. As expected, he didn't have any identity imprint. This person didn't know what sorcery and secret technique he had cultivated.

While thinking, the corpse on the ground suddenly rose into a mist and dissipated in the air, and then the corpse turned into a puppet in an instant.

"puppet……"

Huo Changying murmured, and suddenly remembered the puppet with a heart repaired in Nancheng. He lowered his head to observe the assassin puppet carefully, but found that the two were not the same. patchwork.

What kind of sorcery is this?

Even for the puppet in the courtyard in the south of the city, he searched through ancient books and couldn't find any relevant records, let alone the person behind it.

But the only thing he knew was that there seemed to be no evil spirit lingering on the wood. In order to cause unnecessary panic, Huo Changying put the pile of wood into the monster-catching bag, and prepared to burn it in a place where no one was around.

After leaving the tent, the guards on both sides saluted one after another, and there was nothing unusual.

"Your Highness, where are you going so late?" the soldier on duty asked routinely.

Huo Changying waved his hand to signal him not to follow, but the soldiers hesitated to speak, seeing the prince's order, they couldn't insist on following, so they still stood on duty.

After dismissing the guards who were asking questions along the way, Huo Changying walked towards the deserted river.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the jackdaw sings alone.

There was no one by the river, and Huo Changying chanted a mantra, and several yellow talismans flew out and wrapped around the puppet. Under the urging of the mantra, the yellow talisman engulfed the puppet and burned it to ashes in an instant, and the lingering evil energy also turned into nothingness in the golden light of the mantra. have.

There is no one around, and the moon is in the sky.

Huo Changying looked up for a while, and when he was about to leave, he heard a "click" in the forest behind him, a small sound, infinitely amplified in the still night, it was the sound of someone stepping on a dead branch.

someone following?

Huo Changying's brows twitched slightly, his figure remained unchanged, and he walked towards the deserted place, and when he was a little further away from the camp, Huo Changying turned around a tree, and his hands

Flip the wrist, quickly pinch the formula, and hide the figure.

In a short while, a person hurried out from the woods. The person was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, with a slender figure. Seeing that he was lost, he looked around blankly and found that there was no one around him. When he was there, he heard voices behind him.

"Master Lu, why are you here?"

The voice of the person behind him instantly made Lu Tingyan's back stiff. He turned around with an embarrassed smile, his eyes swept back and forth on the prince in front of him, and he said with a chuckle: "The grass people are just..."

Before he could finish speaking, the smile on Lu Tingyan's face disappeared suddenly, his body moved slightly, and he suddenly came in front of Huo Changying, and he used his palm as a claw to attack Huo Changying's ear.

Huo Changying's expression froze, and he leaned back to dodge, while Lu Tingyan followed closely.

Huo Changying's speed and figure are no worse than those of ordinary martial arts practitioners. Huo Changying was surprised. He didn't know that the young master of the Lu family who had been in the gentle country all year round could actually know kung fu?

And what shocked Huo Changying even more was that Lu Tingyan's palm was like the wind, but the palm only aimed at his face, and that was his magic gate of fate!

Huo Changying's eyes were slightly cold, and his subordinates fought back mercilessly.

But Lu Tingyan didn't know what kind of kung fu he had learned, and his figure was tricky. Just when he almost touched Huo Changying's life gate again, Huo Changying finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the folding fan in his sleeve slipped out, and launched Lu Tingyan's attack.

Lu Tingyan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and just as he was in a daze, Huo Changying quickly dodged behind him, the sharp blade popped out from the folding fan, instantly hit Lu Tingyan's throat, and clamped his hands behind his back.

Lu Tingyan, who was subdued by Huo Changying, smiled instead of being annoyed. He raised a cynical smile, "I still think it's some daring person who dared to pretend to be the prince, but it turned out to be Miss Chang." He pronounced the word "girl" at the end extremely Heavy.

Huo Changying was startled, he exerted force on his feet, Lu Tingyan's knees softened, and he knelt down.

Lu Tingyan was suppressed by Huo Changying and half knelt on the ground, but he showed no fear: "Don't worry, I don't intend to get involved in these royal secrets, and the potential army also has unavoidable difficulties, oh, it hurts..."

Huo Changying exerted force in his hands, glanced at the soldier's clothes on Lu Tingyan, and reprimanded: "What are you doing sneakily?"

Lu Tingyan grinned and wailed, "I know you want to save General Xiao, I can help you!"

"What do you mean?"

Lu Tingyan hurriedly said: "General Xiao was born handsome and talented, he made outstanding military exploits at a young age, and he will definitely be promoted to a noble in the future..."

"speak politely!"

Seeing the horse slapped on the horse's hoof, Lu Tingyan shut up wisely, and said honestly: "The siege of Baicheng was not an accident, and General Xiao was probably plotted by someone. Dialogue, between words, all point to the East Turks and the Great Yuan Dynasty.”

"Who in the DPRK colluded with the Turks?"

Lu Tingyan shook his head to express his ignorance.

Huo Changying let go, and cast a silence spell on Lu Tingyan, so that he could not tell about his pretending to be the prince. Even if Lu Tingyan's words were somewhat credible, once the matter of pretending to be the prince was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

He looked at Lu Tingyan, who got up in a panic, and saw that the youngest of the Lu family, who used to wear silk brocades in Yong'an City, was now wearing a soldier's military uniform, with grass leaves and mud stained on his body, and he had no image at all.

He was not sure why this person came here, he hid it from everyone in Yong'an City, and forged the disguise of a swinger, why?

Lu Tingyan patted the dirt on his body. Seeing Changying staring at him, he hurriedly took a step back and said vigilantly: "I have a family. If you want Hongxing to get out of the affair, you can make up my mind."

Huo Changying: "..." What's going on with Hongxing's cheating?

Seeing Changying's speechless expression, Lu Tingyan exaggeratedly let out a sigh of relief. He shook the dog's tail weed he had just plucked in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you had followed my young master back then, there was a possibility... hey, don't hit me."

Seeing Huo Changying withdraw his hand, Lu Tingyan touched his chin and said, "Actually, I knew you were a man a long time ago." Huo Changying's face darkened, and Lu Tingyan felt a little more proud for some reason. , definitely not wrong."

Seeing Changying's vigilant expression, he hastily restrained his expression, and said seriously: "You saved Zhuyan and indirectly saved me. Although I, Lu Tingyan, are a little messed up, I have always engraved in my heart my gratitude. Your favor is not over yet."

Huo Changying frowned, moved his fingers slightly on Lu Tingyan's body, and cast a mantra spell on Lu Tingyan, asking, "How can I trust you?"

Lu Tingyan scratched his head, as if he didn't know what to say to win people's trust, "Actually, I came out secretly this time because of Zhu Yan," he hesitated whether to say, "I can't say the reason, but I I will never tell anything about you."

As he spoke, he swore to the sky, and he said vicious words, as if he was racking his brains to win people's trust.

There is no lie under the mantra curse, Huo Changying put away his folding fan, and glanced at Lu Tingyan with a cold gaze, "I hope you will keep your promise, otherwise..."

The words were exhausted, but Lu Tingyan understood the unfinished meaning. He shivered, laughed a few times, and leaned closer and said, "How can we say that we are also 'travelers'? Oh, I was wrong, it hurts..."

Lu Tingyan grinned at Huo Changying, and muttered, "It's extremely fierce, I don't know that General Xiao likes you,"

"You can try to say one more sentence."

"No, no," Lu Tingyan hurriedly waved his hands. He turned the forehead of the dog's tail grass in his hand, restrained the smile on his face and said seriously: "I have a bamboo face, and this life is enough."

Hearing him talk about Zhuyan, Huo Changying thought of the frail young man who was tied up in the alley that day. He was about his age, and when he first met him, he was clearly full of dust and air, and he had a playful look at Lu Tingyan, but that day, he also The seriousness between the two can be seen.

During this period, I often heard rumors that Lu Jingyuan scolded his son for being unfilial and that the youngest of the Lu family left home angrily, but now it seems to be true?

Huo Changying has no time to worry about the story between them. Now he just wants to rush to Baicheng as soon as possible to support Xiao Duo. Therefore, Huo Changying put a number of spells on Lu Tingyan to monitor his whereabouts. give up.

And Lu Tingyan really did as he said, keeping his own law and order, like an ordinary soldier.

After setting off, they marched all the way in a hurry. This day, they reached a canyon. After passing through the dangerous mountains, they could reach Baicheng in a few days.

But he said that the sun was covered by dark clouds and there was no wind everywhere.

The terrain here is peculiar, with towering peaks on both sides, leaving only a line of sky in the middle. Because the peaks on both sides are as thin as bird wings, they look like perching birds from a distance, so it is named Qifeng Mountain.

Huo Changying drove his horse in front and slowed down involuntarily. He looked around vigilantly. The sky was gray and the mountains on both sides were lined with dead trees. The air seemed to be filled with a sense of murder.

He reined in his horse and stopped, waving his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop. The lieutenant also saw that something was wrong, so he had to order the queen to stop the troops still marching behind him.

"Your Highness, do you want to order the scouts to check?" the deputy general asked on horseback.

Huo Changying listened intently, his mind pulled away and scanned the valley, he didn't send out any evil spirit, he nodded his head to the lieutenant general, and the scouts drove their horses to quickly scatter to check the terrain and other conditions.

"Your Highness," after a while, the scout returned and reported, "There is nothing unusual."

Just as Huo Changying was about to speak, there was a sudden noise in the valley, and the surrounding soldiers drew their knives out of their sheaths with a swish, all in the attitude of guards.

fluttering--

Countless birds flew out from the mountain, flapping their wings and flying across the ray of sky above the valley, leaving behind a string of birdsong echoing in the valley.

The vigilant soldiers were about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the leader's scout suddenly changed his face. He suddenly got off his horse and put his ears on the ground. Faint rumbling sounds came from all directions, but at this time they were in a different position. It is surrounded by mountains, and the sound comes from... the mountains!

When the scout was about to get up to report, he felt a chill behind his back.

Whoosh whoosh—

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

"Crash-"

The sound of arrows piercing through the air, and the sound of weapons being handed over, all suddenly exploded with the lieutenant general's exclamation.

Countless losses suddenly flew out from the peaks on both sides, as if a dense rain of arrows rushed towards them.

Huo Changying's eyes sank, and he drew his sword to block the loss. From the corner of his eye, he saw an arrow rushing towards the vest of the lieutenant beside him. He turned around and slashed down the flying arrow, but the moment he turned his head, an arrow broke through. He fought heavily against the crowd, with the killing intent wrapped in Senhan, only coming towards him!
