Xiaoqi

A general who was born as a commoner, and has achieved great fame in the army for several years. He has pacified Xiliang, marched into the barbarians of different races, and made great achievements in battle.Unexpectedly, Gan Ning was lucky enough to see the true face of the general today, it is really a great blessing in life, and it is enough comfort for the rest of his life! "

Hearing Gan Ning's words, Li Lijian frowned slightly, instead of showing the slightest joy on his face, he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of vigilance flashing across his eyes.

Seeing that Gan Ning had changed so much before and after, Zhou Yu and Lu Su were stunned, and then he let out a long breath, and their faces relaxed as if they were relieved.

Immediately, Lu Su smiled and said: "Xingba is always a person who understands the truth, so we will settle our suspicions and turn our hostility into friendship. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. Hehehe!"

After laughing, Lu Su continued: "Since Xingba respects my elder brother, why doesn't he worship under my lord now, so that he can make contributions in the future and seal his wife and son?"

Gan Ning looked up at Lu Su with a complicated expression, and sighed: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. Gan Ning is very grateful. If there is no such thing as today, I would naturally be willing to serve under the command of General Fuwei and gain a great career. It's a pity, ,,,,,"

"What a pity? What are you trying to say?" Lu Su's expression suddenly changed, and he asked anxiously.

Gan Ning didn't reply immediately after hearing the words, but stood up and sat down, slowly picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, then closed his eyes and remained silent.

Seeing Gan Ning's expression, Li Li knew that his worries just now had been fulfilled.

After actually telling Gan Ning about his identity, instead of achieving the purpose of turning hostility into friendship, it will have a counterproductive effect and make things worse.As for why?

Others may not know the whole story, but Li Li had a faint guess and felt it.

As a person of later generations, Li Li naturally knows who is the so-called "Jianghu people", and he is well aware of the methods and temperament of Jianghu people.

Historically, before the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as a quack, only aliases such as green forest ranger, assassin, and dead man, and these people were all outlaws without exception.However, since the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, there have been knights from the rivers and lakes rising among the people. These people either respect Guan Yu, or imitate Wang Yue, and a large number of people admire the Jinfan thief Gan Ning, and so on.Among them, the reason why Jinfan thief Gan Ning is revered by later generations is that Gan Ning really came from the "jianghu" and his actions have a strong sense of chivalry.Therefore, Gan Ning is the well-deserved early "champion of the rivers and lakes".

It was precisely Gan Ning's quack habits that made Li Li feel that Gan Ning would never fall under his command so easily.On the contrary, with the methods and ruthless nature of people in the Jianghu, once they know that they have caused a catastrophe, they will definitely not do anything, and they will simply do everything, and it will be over once and for all.

"Do you want to fight me to the end without dying?" After sorting out his thoughts, Li Li asked in a deep voice.

"Uh! How do you know?" Gan Ning, who was drinking tea, was surprised when he heard the sound. He choked on a sip of tea, his face flushed, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Intuition!" Li Li picked up the teacup and smelled the tea, took a sip of the tea, nodded and said, "You are worried that once I get out of danger, I will definitely kill the Jinfan bandits in the future to vent my hatred. If that's the case, That means you think too much and underestimate Li Li's mind. I believe that you, Gan Ning, are not a person who promises to keep his word, so this is the end of today's matter, you don't have to worry about it at all!"

"Really?" Gan Ning groaned softly, shook his head and said, "Maybe you really trust me now, because you have no choice, but it's a pity that I can't trust you!"

After a pause in tone, Gan Ning stared at Li Li, and then said: "If you escape safely, then I, the Jinfan Bandit, will suffer. Today, you, Li Liquan, have a large army and countless capable men. Maybe you don't even need to do it yourself, just inform Jingzhou Liu Biao, and I will be able to wait for my life in a hurry. Therefore, in order to protect the lives of thousands of brothers from the Jinfan Thieves, I cannot let you go, even if you take Take my humble life, and I will keep you here forever!"

"How to get to Poison Dragon Pool, you send someone to lead the way, and I'll follow after you!" Seeing Gan Ning's expression was absolutely determined, Li Li said in a deep voice without further words.

Chapter 541

The red sun is rising in the east, and the morning glow is all over the sky.

Among the green mountains and clear waters, dozens of warships sailed through them, breaking through the waves.

The mountains and forests are lush and lush, and the flowers on both sides of the river are blooming, competing for beauty and beauty.

On the surface of the river, the water was clear, and dozens of warships were fighting against the wind and waves. More than a thousand young men stood on the boats, and there were only a few female relatives among them.

When so:

The clear water reflects people's shadows, and swimming fish compete to follow.

The male is like the king of the mountain, and the female family is better than Huayan.

It's not a good time to cherish the beauty, and Huajiao doesn't even hear it.

The injustice in the world has been accounted for.

At noon, the warship diverted from a tributary and entered a secluded canyon.

The waterway is narrow and only one boat can pass through, so a row of dozens of boats are lined up one by one, like a long dragon stretching for several miles, moving slowly.

The warship sailed for less than a quarter of an hour, and the vision became dim unconsciously.The sun can no longer be seen as far as the eyes can see, and the sight is full of fog and hazy places, with extremely low visibility.At first, the people on the boat could still see things within fifty paces, but then the thick fog got bigger and bigger, so that the visibility was less than twenty paces, and the boats in front couldn't see the boats behind, and dozens of warships were already shrouded in thick fog Among them, slowly move forward on the winding canyon waterway.

"Look, brother, this is the entrance of Poison Dragon Pool!"

Among the dozens of warships, Li Li and his party were on the third warship. At this moment, all six of them stood at the bow of the ship, looking solemnly and looking up at the vision in front of them.

It is said to be overlooking, but in fact it is to open your eyes wide and want to see the distance, but it is in vain. The visibility at twenty paces is already the limit of the line of sight, and any further is a thick fog.

Li Li stared into the distance with a solemn face and deep eyes.I don't know what to think about.

Lu Su stood beside him, and after a short pause, he said in a deep voice: "It is rumored that the poisonous dragon pond is filled with thick fog all the year round, which lasts for a long time, even when the sun is shining in midsummer.

Now it seems that the rumors are true.Right now it is noon, the sun is just above the head, and it stands to reason that it should be able to shine into the canyon.However, the scene in front of me is so strange that it is puzzling. "

There was lingering worry in Lu Su's words, as if he was full of worries about the trip to Poison Dragon Lake, and he always reminded Li Li to be careful and not to be negligent.

Zhou Yu, Huan Fei and others heard Lu Su's words.The heart is heavy and the expression is melancholy.But helpless.

two days ago.A group of people were besieged by the Jinfan bandits, and they were in an extremely dangerous situation. Apart from fighting to the death, there was absolutely no possibility of retreating.At the critical moment, Li Li resolutely agreed to Gan Ning's bet, and went to Poison Dragon Pool with the Jinfan thief.Compete.

That day, even though Gan Ning was on the ferry, putting himself in danger, he might be taken hostage by Li Li and others at any time.However.Gan Ning also came prepared.In the face of Huan Fei's threats and intimidation, he remained unafraid, preferring to be broken than to be destroyed, and he made it clear that he would die and live later.In this way, even if Li Li and others were able to capture him, or even behead him on the spot, they could not escape the siege and interception of the Jinfan thieves, and in the end it was a dead end.

In desperation, Li Li had no choice but to agree to the life-gambling promise proposed by Gan Ning, and went to the Poison Dragon Pool together to compete in the legendary dragon's habitat.Whoever can come out of the Poisonous Dragon Pool alive is naturally the winner, and those who are buried in the pool will undoubtedly become the food of the flood dragon, and there is no place to die.

Such a dangerous bet, according to Li Li's style of doing things without profit and his nature of cherishing his life like gold, it is impossible to agree to it.What's more, with his excellent diving skills and high-strength skills, he is fully capable of escaping alone without being threatened by Gan Ning.

However, a man can do something and not do something.As the lord of Xiliang, it is wrong to take personal risks, but seeing his subordinates and generals in desperation, and his own woman reduced to someone else's plaything, Li Li will definitely not run away alone and abandon everyone.

If he really escaped alone, maybe Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Huan Fei and Er Qiao might still survive, and Gan Ning might not necessarily kill them all.But once this incident happened, what kind of face will Li Li have when he sees Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others again, and how he will face all the civil and military subordinates in Xiliang? Isn't such behavior chilling.Even though everyone can understand that Li Li can't help himself, but understanding is understanding, but it doesn't mean that everyone can accept it.Even if no one mentions this matter in the future, it will become the biggest stain and burden in his life, which will be unforgettable in his life, lingering like a shadow, and tormenting him for the rest of his life.

Therefore, Li Li took up the challenge without hesitation, and took everyone aboard the warship of the Jinfan bandits, sailed for two days and two nights, and arrived at the entrance of Poison Dragon Pool.

At this moment, Li Li was listening to Lu Su's words, and kept his gaze straight ahead, concentrating on observing the terrain around the canyon.

Suddenly, Li Li turned his head and said to Huan Fei: "No matter what happens later, what you have to do is to protect Erqiao and Zijing, try to occupy a favorable terrain, and don't be negligent and give the thieves a chance to go back on their promises. If Zijing and Erqiao Joe is in trouble, everything I have done this time is in vain and meaningless. Feihu, can you hear me clearly?"

"Promise! As long as the general is still alive, I will live up to my lord's entrustment!" Huan Fei accepted the order without the slightest hesitation, because he saw Li Li's face was too calm, and his tone was low and solemn.

As a general who has been with Li Li for a long time, Huan Fei knows Li Li's every move and expression changes in detail.The calmer Li Li's face was, the more he cared about it, and the lower tone of his speech meant that the matter was extremely serious and the situation was not good.At this moment, Huan Fei will naturally not hesitate, and it is impossible to hesitate. Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short time, how can we retreat in times of crisis!

"Okay! You have never let me down before, and I hope you will do the same this time." Li Li patted Huan Fei's shoulder lightly and said with a nod.

Immediately, Li Li walked lightly between Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and said in a harmonious voice: "I thought there would be no difficulties on this return trip, but I don't think it's better than God's fortune. If you relax a little bit, disasters will come to you. It's amazing. I feel quite helpless. Since ancient times, those who have been favored by heaven must have suffered many hardships. If you gain something, you will lose it. During this trip to the south, thanks to the help of two virtuous brothers, I, Li Li, and the entire Xiliang army are even more powerful. However, how much you get often means that you have to give something, and there has always been no such thing as getting something for nothing.

The way of heaven is impermanent.It seems that there is no fairness at all, but it is actually extremely fair.Now betting life with such desperadoes as Gan Ning seems to be accidental, but in reality it is inevitable and inevitable.The matter has come to this point, worrying is useless, worrying is also futile, and only facing it calmly is the right way. "

While speaking, Li Liyu turned sharply, and said in a deep voice: "Although Gan Ning, the leader of the Jinfan bandit, is a brave general, his actions are too extreme, his methods are vicious and vicious, and his habit of being a knight-errant is too strong. If he can't suffer a serious setback, he will experience an unforgettable experience." Even if this person can be used by me, he will not die well in the future. Instead of this, it is better to let him taste the pain early, so as to avoid an untimely death in the future.

Although Poison Dragon Pond is a place that Gan Ning and others are familiar with.But it doesn't mean that he will be sure to win, but I will definitely lose.As the saying goes: It is up to man to make things happen.I, Li Li, am conceited that I was born with the life of a water dragon, and I was able to survive the torrential flood without any injuries. Now, what fear do I have when facing the so-called flood dragon?The majesty of the heavens and the earth can't be compared to me, what a mere beast! "

After finishing speaking.Li Li smiled at Zhou Yu and Lu Su and said: "I will be too busy to take care of myself later, and I can't take care of the safety of the two virtuous brothers. I hope you two will be more careful. Besides, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are both weak women. We need more Take good care of yourself. Remember, you don’t want to kill the enemy to vent your hatred, but to protect your own safety.”

"Elder brother, don't worry, we will surely fulfill our mission!" Zhou Yu and Lu Su bowed in response.

"That's very good." Li Li smiled and nodded, and immediately embraced Xiao Qiao lightly, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, just think that we are here to eliminate harm for the people, eradicate Jiaolong, and benefit the people of one side. .Hahaha!"
