Laughing at Chang'an

Geng Yan took Li Shen to leave Chang'an.

He has not yet recovered, and it is difficult for him to walk, not to mention that he has to bring Li Shen who is unconscious, and it is impossible for no one to accompany him.Naturally, this person must be absolutely reliable, obedient, and able to protect them... In the end, he brought along Zhang Puqiu's assistant, Billy.

Billy is the same age as Li Shen. He used to work as a driver in a freight yard. His greatest hobby is modifying cars and drag racing.He was born in a poor family and had almost no formal education. All his skills were acquired through practice, but he was extremely talented. After many twists and turns, he entered the Geng Army, was selected by Zhang Pu as his assistant, and was considered a half-disciple.Li Shen was once lucky enough to ride in his car, and he vomited on the spot when he got out of the car.

"Don't worry." Billy patted his chest, started the car, glanced at Geng Yan and Li Shen lying on his lap from the rearview mirror, and reminded: "Commander, seat belt. "

... So you have to wear a seat belt when you sit in the back row. How unconfident are you in yourself?

The Billet Kai No. [-], which looks like a small container truck, drove out of the Donggong Guild Hall, headed for Yanpoyuan not far away, drove into Yanpoyuan without incident, and then the whole car got on the road. A cargo airship waiting to take off.The airship lifted off and accelerated to the south, the small container truck deformed in the rear cabin, the container opened and slid forward to both sides, and grew into a pair of propeller wings.

"Except for the slower speed, greater energy consumption and noise, it is no worse than ordinary airships." Billy proudly introduced his work to Geng Yan, "There are also buoys installed below, which can be used on the water surface. It docks and takes off, so it is amphibious, land and air.”

Geng Yan nodded. This amphibious vehicle is very suitable for the complexity and flexibility of mercenary missions. The deformed car escaped from the rear door of the cargo compartment and drew a U-shape in the air to turn west. Geng, who was wearing a seat belt, With some difficulty, Yan hugged Li Shen tightly on his lap, turned his head from the car window to look at the bright lights that were gradually left behind on the ground in the distance.

"Master, would you like to play some music?" Billy asked from the front with a very calm expression, "Sit tight, I'm going to speed up."

Before he finished speaking, Geng Yan was hit backwards on the back of the chair by the sudden thrust. The next second, Billy made a 360-degree turn in the air and jumped out happily.Cheerful whistles sounded in the carriage, and Geng Yan looked at Billy's completely unfaltering joyful expression, and was a little infected by the other party's happiness, grinning the corners of his lips, and smiled silently.

——When Li Shen wakes up, if he still insists on going to live in seclusion, Geng Yan wants to persuade him to change his mind... How should I put it, after waking up this time, Geng Yan's mentality has changed a little, and it feels like he was born again , The burnout was swept away, and I was full of hope for the future again... This feeling is really good.

Chang'an's account must be settled, but the idea of ​​retaking the empire is not strong. Regarding the naive ideal of the adjutant, Geng Yan wanted to see what the empire would become... If the ending ended in failure, then he would not Mind going to clean up the mess again.So in the near future, he will turn his attention away from Xilu and focus on Chang'an. He has said so many times about Chang'an Peak, he will always take Li Shen to stand on it.

One year, two years, five years, ten years... in my lifetime.

Geng Yan supported the back of Li Shen's head with his palm, supported his waist with the other hand, and leaned back on the back of the chair.Billy stopped his cheerful whistle, turned on the VCR, and played a slow-tempo love song. The clear female voice sang a somewhat unfamiliar language, which silently penetrated into his heart like rain.Geng Yan touched Li Shen's icy cheek, and slowly closed his eyes.

Even if Li Shen couldn't wake up in this life, it didn't matter, as long as he was by his side, that was enough.

Billy, who was driving in front, looked at the rearview mirror, reached out to dim the lights in the car, and lowered the sound of the music. It would take nearly half an hour to reach the next destination, and his task was to bring Geng Yan and Li Shen was sent there, and the itinerary after that has nothing to do with him.

A speck of golden light suddenly floated in front of his eyes. Billy blinked, and saw golden specks of light floating silently in the somewhat dark carriage. Li Shen on his legs.

"Master."

"Ok?"

Geng Yan opened his eyes, and immediately noticed the abnormality in the carriage. He lowered his head, stared at Li Shen on his lap, frowned a little, stretched out his hand uncertainly, and touched Li Shen's face emitting light particles. touched.

Li Shen... was disappearing.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Geng Yan's expression became oppressed and gloomy amidst the scattered light particles. He used his fingertips to confirm the missing depressions on Li Shen's face, and after a while, he said decisively: " go back."

"what?"

"Back to Chang'an." Geng Yan's expression was quite ugly, and he said word by word, "Now, immediately."

………………

Chang'an Big Arena, Guanyang Pavilion.

"What did you say?" Li Mubai pushed Feng He away, his face full of disbelief, "Geng Yan brought Li Shen back again? He came back by himself?"

He held the communicator and looked at Feng He. The latter sat up straight away, and began to put on his clothes without saying a word. When Li Mubai put down the communicator, Feng He had already walked to the door with the spear.

"Go to the window." Li Mubai called to stop him, and opened the window next to the soft couch, "I'll take you directly to Weiyang Palace."

Feng He nodded, leaped up from the door, pierced through the window with a cat waist, and then disappeared from midair without warning.Li Mubai frowned and flicked the communicator. Although he didn't know what Geng Yan wanted to do, it was undoubtedly a trap for him to come back now... His finger stopped on the last number and did not press it.

Afterwards, he smiled coldly and self-deprecatingly, and put down the communicator.

When approaching Chang'an, Billy drove Special Modified No. [-] and landed from the sky. The shape of his car in the sky was too conspicuous, and it was too easy to arouse suspicion.After returning to the appearance of a container truck and landing on the ground, he looked back at Geng Yan with some hesitation, only to see that the latter was holding Li Shen, whose whole body was wrapped in golden light particles, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Marshal, if you go back, you may encounter enemies..." He hesitated and whispered.

Hearing this, Geng Yan slowly raised his head.

"If you don't go back, Li Shen will die." He said calmly, "I can't drive this car, so I can only trouble you."

Billy was taken aback, then smiled.He started the car with a smile, without turning his head, he said, "Master, sit still, I'm going to start racing."

There are always some people in this world who are not suitable for cultivation, even if there is no shortage of exercises and resources, but those who are not suitable are not suitable.Billy had dreamed of becoming a mercenary since he was a boy, a mercenary in Chang'an, he tried his best to get the cultivation method, his younger brother mastered it as soon as he learned it, and it took only five years to open the door of heaven, but he still couldn't understand it anyway, After entering Tianmen, the younger brother went to the guild to register, and got the mercenary license he had dreamed of, but he himself could only watch helplessly, envious in vain.

But he still came to Chang'an after all, for the dream in his heart.

There is no deception in the story, the city is indeed wonderful everywhere, but after seeing it a lot, he gradually understands that it is all other people's wonderful, no matter how wonderful it is, it has nothing to do with him.Now Geng Yan and Li Shen were sitting in his car, one of them was completely useless, the other was still in a coma, going back was destined to be a narrow escape... He couldn't control his excitement.

He was finally going to put his life on the line to write his own wonderful scene.

………………

For many, this is a sleepless night.

The news of Geng Yan waking up spread secretly and quickly.The news naturally came from Zhang Puqiu's laboratory. There is no news in this world that will not leak.After the shock, some people were still hesitant to wait and see, while others could not wait to move their hands.

——It is said that Geng Yan's cultivation base is completely useless, he can't even stand up and walk, and Li Shen is still in a coma. If such an opportunity is missed, it will never happen again. Whether it is true or false or a trap, you have to try it to know.

Those who have channels are waiting for news, and those without channels are waiting outside the Donggong Guild Hall. Ten out of ten were stopped outside Chang'an City and searched forcibly.Shen Murong was very upset, and calling names to warn him didn't work, so he forced Geng Yan to leave within today, anxious to get rid of the root cause of the problem.

The cumbersome-looking special modified No. [-] was speeding on the road, and it was getting closer and closer to Chang'an. Billy poured a few mints into his mouth and chewed them creakingly. A pair of narrow eyes gleamed in the darkness Brighten.

Without warning, a long flame hit the speeding container truck from the side.Billy raised his eyebrows, and pressed a button on the console that replaced the passenger seat beside him. A light blue light curtain lit up from the wall of the car, blocking all incoming shells and shock waves from the explosion.He held the steering wheel with one hand, and quickly pressed the console with the other, only to see the container at the rear deformed rapidly under the protection of the light curtain, and one of the thickest gun barrels slowly protruded forward, flat on the roof of the car , Sixteen gun barrels of different thicknesses protruded in all directions, shooting bright cannon light at the figures rushing from all around.

Fighting from fist to flesh is refreshing, but scholars also have their own way of fighting.Not liking fighting never means being weak and easy to bully, not to mention there are fighters among scholars, such as Lu Xiaonian and Billy.

The mercenaries under the cannon fire rushed out of the car, and what greeted them was Lu Xiaonian's energy-sensing suspension cannon specially modified for covering the net, also known as "Blowing You Up to the Sky", which surrounded the car wall in a full circle, densely packed with automatic guns. Inductive hover bomb.

In the flames of the explosion that filled the field of vision, the special modification No. [-] rushed out of the explosion area smoothly and quickly, and continued to drive eastward.In the carriage, Billy took a deep breath, and glanced at Geng Yan who was sitting in the back from the rearview mirror. The thin and almost out-of-shape face was familiar with calmness and indifference. source of hope and confidence... even if he is no longer strong.

"The technique is good." Seemingly aware of his gaze, Geng Yan suddenly said.

Billy froze for a moment, then grinned and said, "To tell you the truth, I was also one of the three gods of chariots recognized by our Geng Army."

"Yeah." Geng Yan smiled slightly, "I'm talking about your killing techniques."

Billy was really stunned this time, and after he finished, he silently touched his forehead, so this level is really different... He raised the corners of his lips silently, and a stream of light that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye came right in front of him. , Billy let out a sigh, and the main cannon on the roof that had already been charged roared and shot out its cannon light.

Streams of light came one after another, and it was the mercenaries who had activated the armor enhancements on their bodies, and a few of them were particularly bright, and they were experts from the Immortal Road.The bulky Special Kai No. [-] evaded the attack with completely unimaginable dexterity, and fought back tenaciously to break through. The artillery fire flickered past the faces of Billy and Geng Yan in the carriage. Calm as if cast out of a mould.

But soon, the calmness on Billy's face was broken—he clenched his lower lip and turned the steering wheel desperately. At the very moment, he turned the front of the car to one side, and then the whole car was hit in the middle by a heavy hammer. It floated away from the ground, rolled in mid-air, and crashed to the ground not far away.

The car body fell, and Geng Yan, who was holding Li Shen's head, slammed into the overturned car wall, and scarlet blood dripped from the corner of his forehead.Billy was hung in the driver's seat by the seat belt, and with difficulty stretched out his hand and pressed on the console next to him. Seven or eight buttons were photographed at the same time. It was ejected outward, and the remaining part exploded suddenly, sparking flames soaring into the sky.

Amidst the crackling explosions, an extremely fierce knife wind cut through the burning wreckage of the container, and the figure carrying the red giant blade slowly walked out of the crack, walking unhurriedly towards the wreckage supported by Billy. Geng Yan who came out of the carriage.

Shadowy mercenaries approached silently from all directions, and the young man carrying the red blade upside down stopped ten steps away from the three of Geng Yan. He looked at Geng Yan and the comatose Li Shen with great interest.

Geng Yan didn't know him, and he didn't have any impression of this young face.

"He is the 'flame wolf' Gu Dong." Billy whispered next to Geng Yan, "The most popular young man in Chang'an City in the past two years, it is said that he has six steps of immortality."

Geng Yan frowned slightly, but saw the young man grinning, and said in a frivolous tone: "Changan Gengjun Geng Yan, your name has been known for a long time, so you don't need to introduce yourself. I came here specially to see the legendary What kind of character does the character look like, but it is a waste that can't even stand up, which is too disappointing..."

He sighed as he spoke, and then turned around and left with a big knife in his hand, which is quite individual.Geng Yan supported the ground with his hands, gently lowered Li Shen's head on his lap, swayed and stood up slowly, looking around at the mercenaries approaching from all around.

"I'll block them, you take Li Shen away." He whispered to Billy, "Zhang Puqiu, Feng He, Li Mubai, you can find anyone, please."

Billy nodded silently, squatted down and carried Li Shen on his back, Geng Yan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

— Self-suggestion.

"We need to believe that power comes from the heart, and valuable beliefs will not be shaken by external things..." He chanted the creed of light that he had never really believed in in a low voice, praying for this illusory power, if light exists in every day A person's heart, then even he should not be abandoned.

Under Billy's shocked gaze, Geng Yan who was standing beside him suddenly rushed out.That speed wasn't unbelievably fast, but for a person who had difficulty even standing up just now, it was simply a miracle.He froze for a moment, then rushed out behind Li Shen without hesitation.

The night wind with the smell of gunpowder whizzed past the field, and there were chaotic gunshots. An egg-shaped shield emerged from Billy's body to block the bullets, but Geng Yan, who was rushing in front of him, did not open the shield. Shield, no, to be precise, this portable energy shield will be automatically triggered only when the attack enters the defense range.

It's not that Geng Yan didn't open the shield, but he wasn't hit by any bullet at all.The steps under his feet are somewhat similar to the shadow steps of an assassin, but they are not the same. Every movement is as natural and effective as flowing water, and it seems to fit in resonance with the dark night.Almost in the blink of an eye, Geng Yan's figure rushed into the encircling net of the mercenaries. He leaned over, bent his knees, and spun back, turning around and passing the No. 1 mercenary. In a flash, a corpse fell to the ground with a bang.

Even without cultivation base, he still has the fighting skills honed in the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and the sharp weapon specially built for him by Zhang Puqiu, which can break through the defense of the battle armor... For the rest, just look at this broken body, which can support how long.

Billy rushed forward following Geng Yan, the egg-shaped protective cover on his body was quickly consumed in the hail of bullets, but he brought a total of eight protective covers like this.Seeing that the two were about to rush out of the encirclement all the way, Geng Yan, who was rushing ahead, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The protective cover on Geng Yan's body finally lit up, and he stood quietly on the spot, looking at the figure standing with a knife not far away.

——It was that 'flame wolf' Gu Dong.

In the eyes of the strong, the six steps of the immortal road are the real watershed, both are immortal roads, and the six steps of the immortal road and the lower ones are completely two levels.In fact, needless to say, the six steps of the immortal road, even if it is the third step of the immortal road, Geng Yan has no chance of winning at this moment.

Because he is not even Tianmen.

Geng Yan turned his head slightly, and glanced at Li Shen who was lying on Billy's shoulder without any notice. Small particles of golden light were still floating out of Li Shen's body, and then disappeared into the air.This is why he has no time to delve into it. Li Shen has been lying in the Donggong Guild Hall for five years and is safe. Such anomalies appear as soon as he leaves. Geng Yan can't think of other possibilities and can only blame Chang'an for the problem.

Li Shen cannot leave Chang'an...he is disappearing.

There is no time.

Geng Yan took a step forward, the future he was looking forward to could not live without Li Shen.There is no need to think about it, and there is no doubt about it. Up to now, their lives have merged with each other, and life follows each other, and so does death.

A hand grabbed him from behind.

"Master, leave it to me here."

With a calm smile on his not-so-young face, Billy put down Li Shen from his back and gently pushed him into Geng Yan's arms.In the next second, a strong force brought Geng Yan and Li Shen in his arms to bounce towards the sky. Under Geng Yan's somewhat shocked eyes, Billy who stayed on the ground buried his head and rushed towards the Yanlang who was blocking the way. Gu Dong, with mercenaries pouring in behind him, the whole ground trembled and shook.

The earth-shattering explosion resounded throughout the southern suburbs, and even reverberated in the city of Chang'an. Geng Yan and Li Shen were shaken outward by the shock wave of the explosion, and flew out from the huge cloud of smoke that soared into the sky, smashing hard into the distant city. ground.Fortunately, with the protection of the protective cover on his body, he was not shaken into pieces.

After a short period of absent-mindedness, Geng Yan got up stiffly, staggered to the side of Li Shen who had been shaken off his hands, pulled the motionless body onto his back, and strode forward vigorously.

Every inch of bone is moaning, the heart is beating wildly as if it is about to explode, the power of self-suggestion is fading, and the huge pain and the backlash of the body that has been squeezed to the limit are sweeping.Dense cold sweat seeped out from his forehead and scalp, Geng Yan's vision began to blur, and his consciousness also began to blur...but he knew he couldn't stop.

no way.

If there is no past and present life, he will never understand such feelings. If there is no Li Shen in this world, then there will be no Geng Yan.He should be the supreme emperor of the Guangming Empire, born chasing power and living for his own ambitions, his life is full of conspiracy and betrayal, everyone is his pawn and bargaining chip, under his throne is displayed There are countless dazzling trophies, and the sword of Damocles hangs on his head, which may fall at any time.

It's not that he's tired of power and ambition, nor is he yearning for so-called love, he just found what he wanted most.

Geng Yan knelt down, coughed up blood, got up and continued walking, knelt down again, coughed up blood again, got up again... The internal organs repaired by artificial organs were collapsing, and blood overflowed from his five sense organs, when he knelt down again , The tibia of his right leg finally made a crisp cracking sound, and he could no longer bear the pressure that far exceeded his own limit.

Geng Yan knelt down on the ground with his head down, panting heavily and weakly. He slowly let go of the hands supporting Li Shen's legs, propped up the ground and leaned down a little bit, carrying Li Shen on his back, dragging Looking at the broken right leg, he crawled on the ground like a dog on all fours.

The mercenaries who escaped from the explosion chased after them. Although there were very few of them, being able to survive such an explosion had already proved their strength.However, when they caught up with Geng Yan, who was crawling on the ground with Li Shen on his back, and wanted to go forward to deal with the target, they were blocked by Gu Dong, the Yanlang who arrived first.

"Gu Dong, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Gu Dong, the Yanlang who has always looked at people with an arrogant face, held the red giant blade upside down with one hand, but now he looked a little gloomy. He frowned and stared at the difficult and embarrassing figure not far away. , seemed to be speaking to the other party, and seemed to be talking to himself: "It's just uncomfortable to look at."

"Just say this to you, and I will save your life."

A voice with an indifferent smile suddenly sounded in Gu Dong's ear, his eyes widened in astonishment, and he heard several heavy objects falling to the ground behind him, other than that, no one had time to utter a tragic sound call.

Night Breeze lifted Feng He's disheveled black hair, revealing the expressionless face underneath.Holding the bloody thin blade in his hand, he slightly turned his head to look at Geng Yan who was still crawling forward.

Distressed, yet resolute and crazy to the extreme, it makes people look... very uncomfortable.
