disguised holy monk

As soon as Nan Shuxuan's voice fell, he raised his hands, and the cavalry behind him had already raised their spears.

"Wait!" Xuan Qing stopped suddenly.

Nan Shuxuan really waved his hand to make the cavalry behind him stop. He felt a little joy in his heart, slightly hooked his lips, and hurriedly said: "Master, do you regret it? If Master comes here now, I can let the past go..."

However, Xuanqing looked straight at Nan Shuxuan, shook his head slightly, and pleaded: "The poor monk just wants to make a bet with your majesty, if the poor monk wins, please retreat immediately."

With dozens and hundreds of times of cavalry rushing over, even if they are not injured, they may not be able to retreat completely, let alone everyone is exhausted and seriously injured now.

Nan Shuxuan didn't need to play any boring so-called bets with him at all, but at this moment, the unknown anger in his heart was oppressed and inexplicably hurt, and he said coldly, "What bet?"

Xuan Qing looked at him fixedly, "Betting on the poor monk, can you catch His Majesty within three moves."

Nan Shuxuan's eyes flickered, and the hand holding the rein tightened a little. He was angry and angry for a while, "Xuanqing, are you threatening me?"

What he meant clearly was that as long as Nan Shuxuan dared to move them, Xuanqing could kill him within three moves!

But Xuan Qing did not answer, he had already moved his footsteps slightly, the soldiers around him had already been frightened by him just now, their hands and feet trembled for a while, the guard officer closest to Nan Shuxuan drew out his long sword and shouted: "Escort! Escort! "

Several masters also swallowed their saliva and hastily stood in front of Nanshu Xuanma.It's just that when Xuan Qing passed by them, they were so fast that they could hardly see him.

Xuan Qing had already approached, Nan Shuxuan was startled, he drew his long sword and wanted to resist, but Xuan Qing had already held down the hand that drew the sword and knocked the sword back, the other hand easily grabbed the man and pressed his hands together Behind him, he borrowed strength from the horse's back and flew back to the shore with Nan Shuxuan.

This series of actions happened in a blink of an eye, and everyone felt that the Nanchao Sacred Emperor had been captured.

Everyone was anxious, several masters desperately wanted to rush up to snatch him back, but Wanyan Fusheng, who had been paying attention to Xuanqing earlier, turned around and held his sword to block him.

Xuan Qing grabbed Nan Shuxuan and quickly retreated to the river, the ice had already turned red, stained by the blood of countless soldiers.

"Stop it all!"

With his sound, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty no longer dared to act rashly.

Xuan Qing's monk's robe fluttered, and Qing Jun's face was neither sad nor happy, but he was still thinking in his heart - to capture the thief first, capture the king, this trick he learned from Jin Yong's novels is really easy to use.

"...Master, you are really good at it." Nan Shuxuan's chest rose and fell, and there was not much fear on his face, but there was still a bit of anger leaking between his teeth.

Xuan Qing looked at the person he restrained. Although this person wanted to use him, he did not intend to kill him first, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, "Your Majesty, I offended you."

Nan Shuxuan closed his eyes and said coldly, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Xuan Qing was silent for a while, and then said gently: "The poor monk has said that, all you need is for Your Majesty to let these soldiers put down their weapons and retreat for three miles. Don't worry, Your Majesty, as soon as the matter is over, the poor monk will send you back immediately."

Nan Shuxuan didn't speak for a while, and Xuanqing didn't urge him either.

After a while, Nan Shuxuan opened his mouth, with a bit of wistful sarcasm, "For a long time, my ancestors in the Southern Dynasties wanted to unify the world and take over the kingdoms, but they failed every time. Now, they have not What I have achieved is about to be accomplished by me... but I never thought that it would be defeated by you?"

Xuan Qing knows that his ambition to unify the world has always been hidden in his heart, and since he became the prince, it has become more and more obvious, but...

Xuanqing's expression seemed to contain sorrow, and he wanted to persuade him, "Even if His Majesty takes the lead in launching the attack, removing the two families of the New King of Northern Xinjiang and the Western Yi will only bring about endless wars, and what war can bring is soldiers. Massacres, bones everywhere; countless people were displaced, and the people were in dire straits..."

Nan Shuxuan paused, but his expression remained unchanged, "So what? Since ancient times, the unification of the world will inevitably lead to bloodshed and sacrifice, but which prosperity is not brought about after unification? Besides, even if I don't strike first, the master can confirm that others will not." Will you make a move? Recently, Northern Xinjiang and Xiyi have had close contacts, and they may be plotting how to annex our Southern Dynasty. If I don't preemptively strike, and wait for them to unite, won't they fall into a disadvantageous position?"

The more Nan Shuxuan said, the more excited he became, Xuan Qing shook his head, and said sadly: "The end of the troubled times will bring about a new prosperous world. Now that the world is peaceful, why does Your Majesty break this peace?"

Xuan Qing sighed as he spoke, and pointed to the river on one side, "Your Majesty, look at this river, it is only for killing these few people, and the river has already been soaked in blood, so how many people are needed for the road leading to the world?" How many years will it take to restore the foundation damaged by the war? How many families with wives and children will take decades to heal the pain?"

Nan Shuxuan was stunned by his series of questions, frowning and frowning for a moment.

Xuan Qing controlled Nan Shuxuan's hand to tremble very slightly, but Nan Shuxuan, who was in a complicated mood, didn't pay attention at this time.

After he recovered, he said softly, "Your Majesty, you can look at these soldiers. No one likes war. Because once the war starts, no one can guarantee that they will never die. They all have wives and children waiting for them at home." Go back, if this war can be avoided today, everyone will be happy."

Xuanqing paused, sighed, and tried to persuade: "Your Majesty, don't commit murders in vain, and retreat..."

Nan Shuxuan glanced at the faces of the soldiers opposite him. They were all exhausted after running around all night. Naturally, they also heard Xuan Qing's words at this time, and their eyes were filled with joy.

Who likes war?It's just for the better life of the family's wife and children.

Nan Shuxuan was silent and did not speak for a long time.

Yue quietly couldn't see it anymore, she walked over, and said with a sneer, "Master is kind and talkative, but I don't." She took out a sharp dagger and put it in front of Nan Shuxuan's heart, "Emperor Dog, hurry up and give me an order!" Otherwise, my aunt will immediately dig out your heart!"

Nan Shuxuan ignored her, and only took a deep look at Xuan Qing.

"Benefactor Yue, stop." Xuan Qing stopped Yue Qingran, and repeated the previous words, "Please ask your majesty to let the army put down the weapons in their hands now and retreat three miles. The poor monk promises that it will never hurt your majesty."

Nan Shuxuan's expression was complicated. Ever since he met Xuan Qing at the border of Xiyi, Nan Shuxuan had been suspicious.Even knowing that all things are equal in Xuanqing's heart, even knowing that his heart is good, he still can't help thinking, if he starts a war, which side will this person stand on?

Over and over again, the doubts grew.

He murmured, "You still chose them..."

His voice was low, and the people around him couldn't hear him clearly.

But immediately, Nan Shuxuan was silent for a moment, and finally raised his voice: "Put down your weapons, everyone retreat!"

He knew that after this retreat, it would be basically impossible to seize the leaders of Xiyi and Beijiang at the same time.But how could he have the fate to say no at this time?

The soldiers were also stunned, looking at each other, as if hesitating to find a leader.

Yue quietly snorted coldly, turned around and raised her voice to the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty: "Didn't you hear that? Get out of here, or you will see the head of the dog emperor!"

The soldiers became a little flustered, and immediately put down the weapons in their hands under the leadership of several masters, and retreated rustlingly.

Only then did everyone heave a sigh of relief, and turned to Xuanqing and said, "Master, let's go too."

Xuan Qing looked at the group of injured and exhausted people in front of him, and said slowly: "You guys cross the river first."
