【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Inside the stone hall, Ning Qi was sitting high on the sapphire desk chair. In front of him was a row of four dark soldiers wearing night clothes. There was a bit of mist on their shoulders. It seemed that they must have rushed back day and night.

Ning Qi played with a gleaming silver dagger in his hand, and said casually: "You said Yuan Zhongxin drove An Lijiu and Zhao Jian away overnight?"

One of the Yin soldiers replied: "Return to Pavilion Master, yes."

Ning Qi put the tip of his index finger on the sharp edge of the dagger, and the sharp edge instantly cut through the skin, and blood dripped out, but he didn't care at all: "Which way are you going?"

"Hebei Road along the southeast of the Lianyun Mountains, and it is a village road."

Ning Qi snorted, full of sarcasm: "He would choose, and found the most convenient shortcut for them to go back to Kaifeng."

Yin Bing asked: "Pavilion Master, why don't you let your subordinates continue to monitor their movements, in case Zhao Jian is driven away, they are Yuan Zhongxin's tricks..."

Ning Qi dismissively interrupted the other party's words: "Yuan Zhongxin is not a fool, if he didn't withdraw his troops after he saw the strength of the Yinbing Pavilion, that would be a real trick, but he was only doing it for himself. Just stick to the bluff."

Yin Bing said hesitantly: "But just letting them run away like this is too cheap for them."

Ning Qi hooked the corners of his lips coldly: "Run? As long as Yuan Zhongxin and his stupid followers are wiped out, none of them can escape without Yuan Zhongxin's protection."

Yin Bing looked happy, and hurriedly said: "The master of the pavilion is wise!"

Ning Qi sneered at this kind of boring flattery, he waved his hand perfunctorily, and the Yin soldiers retreated silently, knowing that the stone palace was dead quiet again, Ning Qi stared at the blood on his fingertips, and suddenly said: "Ning Shu ,come out."

A slender figure came out from a dark corner. When he came to Ning Qi, he didn't kneel down and salute like other Yin soldiers. He just lowered his head slightly and waited silently for Ning Qi's next words.

Ning Qi's expression was indifferent, but the light in his eyes was intricate. For Ning Shu, Ning Qi's emotions were always complicated. On the one hand, he was jealous of Lou Changsi's special attention to this child, and on the other hand, he was extremely envious of Ning Shu's ability to get Lou's love. Chang Si treats him with a gentle voice; while he wants to kill the child to satisfy his perverted and extreme heart, he also hopes that the child can be by Lou Changsi's side, and he can occasionally learn from Ning Shu that he saw him There is often a side of thinking that can't be reached.

It's not that he didn't know that Ning Shu secretly helped Yuan Zhongxin in Qinghe Town four years ago. Don't do it - if Ning Shu dies, Lou Changsi will be even more disheartened.

Ning Qi's magnetic voice lingered in the entire stone hall, he said: "On the day of the decisive battle, you don't need to play, and protect Lou Changsi well, is it clear?"

Ning Shu paused, nodded slowly, and accepted Ning Qi's order.

Ning Qi's tone was full of dangerous warnings: "Ning Shu, I have already given you a chance, if you dare to betray my order like last time, even if Lou Changsi pleads for you, I will not Let you go."

Ning Shu raised his head, looked at Ning Qi neither humble nor overbearing, with an indifferent expression.

Ning Qi squinted his eyes: "I know you are not afraid of death, so I thought of countless ways to make you suffer. Do you think I don't know who you value most besides Lou Changsi?"

Ning Shu still didn't change his face, as if he didn't hear Ning Qi's threat.

Ning Qi stood up and threw the dagger in his hand casually. There was a crisp sound when the metal collided with the stone surface. Ning Qi turned and left, before leaving, he said: "You can do it yourself, Ning Shu."

Ning Shu looked at the dagger on the ground, feeling indifferent.

The night in the northwest is like splashing ink in the sky, and it is overwhelming, but the starry sky in the northwest is so low that people mistakenly think that they can pick up the stars as long as they stretch out their hands.

Winter is already deep, and the cold wind in the middle of the night is biting, but Yuan Zhongxin seems to have lost his senses, wearing thin clothes and a cloak to avoid the cold on his shoulders, facing the desert outside the Song Dynasty, standing against the wind.

Since Zhao Jian and the others left, Yuan Zhongxin spent five days in a row except for his daily strategic discussions and rest, and spent the rest of his time on the wall, staring at the clouds and stars in the sky every day in a daze.

This kind of Yuan Zhongxin, not only Wang Kuan, but even Yuan Bofin and Liang Zhu were worried when they saw it. The morale that was originally high plummeted, and almost everyone knew what Yuan Zhongxin said in the tent that day.

Yuan Zhongxin couldn't beat Ning Qi, they couldn't win Yin Bing Pavilion.

But for some reason, despite the low morale, no one said back down, and they all seemed to be waiting for Yuan Zhongxin to cheer up.

Another day, Yuan Zhongxin was still standing alone on the wall of the city wall, his eyes were long and distant, as if something outside the Great Wall was attracting his gaze.

Wang Kuan stood behind him silently. Although Yuan Zhongxin forced An Lijiu and Zhao Jian away, that strange feeling still remained in his heart. He knew Yuan Zhongxin too well. If Yuan Zhongxin really If he wanted to give up, it was impossible for so many people to stay here. He always felt that Yuan Zhongxin was secretly planning something.

It's like... It's like making a desperate decision to die and survive.

While Wang Kuan was meditating, Yuan Zhongxin suddenly said to himself: "There are flowing clouds in the sky, rising from the northeast, smoke from the ground, and dry wind rolling from the north. This is a sign of the coming storm."

Yuan Zhongxin stood with his hands behind his back, with his back to Wang Kuan. Wang Kuan couldn't see his expression clearly, but suddenly felt that the other party suddenly overturned that self-destructive appearance, revealing the real Yuan Zhongxin.

"Wang Kuan."

The long-haired young man called out his name softly, and Wang Kuan immediately came back to his senses: "I am here."

"Let everyone get ready, two days later, go to Xinjiang to face the battle."

Wang Kuan's expression froze: "Are they here?"

Yuan Zhongxin responded in a low voice, then turned around and smiled leisurely: "I still need you to do me a favor."

Wang Kuan was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled with relief. Seeing Yuan Zhongxin like this, he already had the answer in his heart.

The real Yuan Zhongxin came back only now.

The time passed by, the sun rose and the moon set, and the two-day period Yuan Zhongxin said would soon come to an end.

The setting sun was setting and the wind was bleak. On the wilderness outside the Great Wall, 80 elite soldiers of the Yin were densely packed, and there was a lot of dead silence, like a cloud that was about to destroy the world. Its approach was silent but dangerous, gloomy and oppressive.

Ning Qi was still wearing his flamboyant purple clothes, and casually glanced at the still closed city gate, arrogantly and conceitedly: "It's in vain that I worked so hard to come here, your son is so cowardly and shut up like this Don't you even dare to come out to see me?"

This sentence was obviously meant for Lou Changsi who was beside him.

Lou Changsi's expression was indifferent, and he ignored Ning Qi's provocation.

Ning Qi sneered: "Ning Qi, see Yuan Zhongxin later, don't wait for my order, if someone blocks your way, shoot him to death!"

Ning Qi didn't wear the black mask today, and murderous intent appeared on his face, which was exactly the same as Ning Shu's. Those black pupils were extremely cold, but there was a creepy fire burning deep inside.

He is very clear that in today's battle, he and Yuan Zhongxin can only live as one.

Although Lou Changsi looked calm and relaxed, he was actually anxious. He knew the strength of Ning Qi's men better than anyone else. Yuan Zhongxin had never told him about his strategic plan, so Lou Changsi naturally didn't know what Yuan Zhongxin was going to do. What's the plan? If this battle breaks out and the two sides fight to the death, he is afraid that Yuan Zhongxin will be the loser.

Thinking of this, Lou Chang secretly thought of a small and cold porcelain bottle in his sleeve, and the light in his eyes flickered.

Yici, no matter who wins or loses this battle, Dad will protect you even if he puts his life on the line!

A quarter of an hour ago, when the Great Xia soldiers approached the city, Yuan Zhongxin's flying long hair disappeared, replaced by the slightly curly braid when he first entered the secret pavilion—two days ago, Yuan Zhongxin asked Wang Kuan to help He cut the waist-length black hair as short as possible.

At this moment, Yuan Zhongxin lacked the coquettish and exquisiteness of the past, and his eyebrows were still jade-like, but a little more dignified and sassy.

He turned over and rode on the black horse that belonged to him alone, looking at the people who followed him without complaint, for a moment, with mixed emotions in his heart, Yuan Zhongxin suddenly said: "I don't know if we can win this battle." Can't win."

Wei Yanei hated iron but not steel.

Brother!You should say something to cheer up the soldiers!

"But—" Yuan Zhongxin smiled lightly: "Whether I can win or not, I must fight, because I have a family behind me, and I will never allow anyone to defile it."

"If you lose, we will live and die together. If you win, we will go home together!"

"Today, I, Yuan Zhongxin, will definitely rule the world with chaos!"

A ray of light suddenly lit up in everyone's eyes, and they trembled all over, not because of fear, but because of excitement.

After waiting for so many days, Yuan Zhongxin did not disappoint them.

Wei Yanei was so excited that tears filled his eyes: "Okay!"

Wang Kuan, Yuan Bofin and Liang Zhu waved their hands vigorously. A group of soldiers wearing silver armor and holding cold swords had serious faces, and a firm voice burst out from the city, and they left the sky:

"Use chaos in the world to stabilize the country!"

"Use chaos in the world to stabilize the country!"

"If the world is in chaos, the rivers and mountains will be settled!"

Yuan Bofin pulled out his long sword with all his strength and pointed it straight at the sky. He shouted sharply: "The cavalry army obeys the order! Open the city gate!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Thunder drums sounded and the gates of the city opened wide.

There was another roar: "Get ready to meet the enemy!"

"Woo-!"

When the city gate was opened, the horns of both sides sounded at the same time, which meant that the war had officially begun!

Yuan Zhongxin and Wang Kuan drove out of the city first, followed by a group of people raising their whips one after another.

Wang Kuan could see Ning Qi at the top of the row at a glance. He squinted his eyes, his eyes were cold, and his face was frosty: "Wang Houjun, come on!"

The moment Wang Houjun rushed out, the Yin Bing Pavilion on the opposite side, which had been standing still, immediately became agitated. Ning Qi waved his hand, and the 80 Yin soldiers behind him rushed out like a tide.

Liang Zhu and Yuan Bo's soldiers were surrounded on both sides. Although the total strength of 48 soldiers was not as good as the 80 Yin soldiers, the soldiers under both men were brave and good at fighting. One retreated timidly, and rushed forward after scolding the other party's ancestors.

"Little red man! See if I don't stab you to death!"

"Your mother's cub! Come on! Let's see who is afraid of whom!"

"I've been pissed off for a long time, and I'm just waiting for you bastards to bring it up! If you don't peel off your skin and flesh today, my surname will not be Wei!"

"Brothers! Fuck him to death!"

Wei Yanei and Xue Ying, one on the left and one on the right, rode their horses and galloped ahead. During the three years when Yuan Zhongxin was gone, they did not slack off. He walked through the sea of ​​people in a vigorous posture, with the long sword in his hand sealing his throat with blood, and his movements were crisp and neat.

Wei Yanei cursed as he hacked: "You dare to beat me? Do you still dare to beat me? Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? You are ashamed to travel to other people's homes to make trouble!"

Suddenly a Yin soldier stood in front of Wei Ya's nei, leaped forward and attacked Wei Ya's nei, Wei Ya's nephew was quick to pull the reins, the horse made a noise, and its raised hooves kicked on the Yin soldier's body. The force was so great that the Yin soldier immediately vomited blood to the end and couldn't even get up.

Wei Ya Nei was very unhappy: "You kid still want to molest me? I tell you, there are only two people who can molest me in this world, one is my father, and the other is Yuan Zhongxin. You should wash your ass and wait to be buried as soon as you are like a bear." Bar!"

Xue Ying, who rose up to kill the enemy, was really helpless, and had no choice but to express disgust in his mind: "Can you concentrate?"

Those who scold their fathers and mothers, can they still have a good fight?

Wei Yanei kicked away the Yin soldiers beside him, and the cold sword he pulled out brought out blood all over the place: "I'm not excited-hey Xue Ying, back!"

Xue Ying sideways dodged the flying blade in the sleeve, kicked with the toe, and the sword left by someone on the ground pierced into the chest of the Yin soldier who threw the dart, and there was no sound at once. Xue Ying glanced at Wei Yanei: "Okay!" Take down your enemies."

After the words were finished, Xue Ying yelled sharply, and rushed forward with his horse.

Yuan Zhongxin saw Lou Changsi who was controlled behind the Yin soldiers, and naturally also saw Ning Shu who was standing beside Lou Changsi. He understood that Ning Qi was not going to involve those two people in this battle—— Sure enough, all of this was within his expectations.

Ning Qi got Ning Qi's order, he ignored the gunpowder smoke around him, and came straight to Yuan Zhongxin, he condensed the wind with his right palm, and blew towards Yuan Zhongxin fiercely.

Yuan Zhongxin didn't dodge, raised his left palm, and greeted him without fear.

The palms of the two collided, and the surroundings were suddenly filled with flying sand and rocks!

Ning Qi sneered: "It seems that your injury has healed."

Yuan Zhongxin's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold and arrogant: "It has nothing to do with you!"

While speaking, Yuan Zhongxin leaned over and rushed towards Ning Qi with a murderous aura!

Ning Qi's hatred was mixed with excitement: "Yuan Zhongxin, I will definitely kill you today!"

Yuan Zhongxin: "I will return this sentence to you intact!"

Ning Qi had been looking at Yuan Zhongxin and Ning Qi who were at odds, and suddenly felt a strong killing intent coming towards him. His eyes were cold, and he sideways dodged the arrow that was flying towards his eyebrows. Shooting the Yin soldier beside him, the Yin soldier screamed and fell to the ground dead.

Ning Qi looked in the direction where the arrow was flying, and where his eyes touched, a young man in a black robe seemed to be following the rules, but the arrogance in his eyebrows and eyes was undoubtedly revealed, and his face was full of evil, approaching Ning Qi.

Ning Qi let out a cold snort, his figure flickered, and he came to Wang Kuan in the blink of an eye. His five fingers were like eagle claws, sharp and vicious, and directly attacked Wang Kuan's life gate.

Wang Kuan responded calmly, blocked Ning Qi's attack with his right hand, clenched his fist with his left hand, and severely wounded the opponent's left shoulder, ruthlessly breaking Ning Qi's first attack.

He will never forget that the man in front of him caused Yuan Zhongxin to suffer so much!

Today, he is going to take Ning Qi's life to pay back Yuan Zhongxin's suffering!

Ning Qi didn't change his face, but he was a little surprised in his heart. This young man seemed to be nearly twenty, but he was able to draw with him. He gave a distorted smile with excitement: "Wang Kuan, you really are a strong man, and you deserve to fight me before you die."

Wang Kuan's tricks became more and more fierce: "Idiots talking nonsense!"

Facing Wang Kuan's swift and difficult moves, Ning Qi did not panic and said with ease: "Wang Kuan, believe it or not, you will lose this battle!"

Wang Kuan's eyes were red, but he smiled wantonly: "Winner is decided, believe it or not, we will win the outcome!"

When he found Ning Qi's loophole, Wang Kuan threw out a palm with all his might, causing the opponent to back up a few steps, a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, Wang Kuan looked indifferent, but the arrogance in his eyes reached the sky:

"Ning Qi, you are doomed!"

"Anyone is only worthy of bowing their heads in front of Yuan Zhongxin!"
