Chapter 129: In front of the Sword Emperor Pavilion, Nangong in white

"Da da da!"

A group of more than a dozen figures were speeding along the avenue.

It was Gao Changsheng and his group.

Several days have passed since the previous border conflict in Youzhou.

After that incident, Gao Changsheng did not leave immediately, but stayed in the Youjin area for three days.

After all, he himself didn't know what Xu Xiao would do in the end.

If he leaves and Xu Xiao chooses to send troops to fight, the army without him will definitely suffer a great loss.

But in the end, Xu Xiao did not respond too drastically.

Just one day later, the Beiliang army in Youzhou began to retreat like a tide.

Xu Xiao finally made the decision to give up Youzhou.

Gao Changsheng was indeed a little disappointed about this, but he didn't care too much.

After all, after this incident, both Gao Changsheng and Xu Xiao knew clearly.

Sooner or later, there will definitely be a war between them.

Xu Xiao did not get angry. Firstly, it was because he was old and Beiliang's retreat was unknown, so he did not dare to fight with all his strength. Secondly, it was because he had not found a good opportunity to fight.

As for Gao Changsheng, the same situation applies.

Although he is not afraid of fighting, it is not a good opportunity for him at the moment.

If he fought Beiliang with all his strength, it would be a head-on fight. He might be able to cripple Beiliang, but his troops would probably suffer heavy losses.

That would only allow Beimang Li Yang to gain an advantage for nothing.

That's why he didn't rush to send troops to Youzhou, but gave Beiliang time to retreat.

Given Beiliang's current situation and Xu Xiao's physical condition, it is unlikely that he would fight desperately unless he was pushed to the edge of a cliff with no way out.

What Gao Changsheng couldn't be sure of was whether Xu Xiao would suddenly be aroused.

Shaking his head and smiling slightly, he suddenly realized that without realizing it, he was surrounded by enemies.

The three main enemies in the Beimang, Liyang and Beiliang areas are already his mortal enemies.

However, Gao Changsheng never regretted it. Even if he was given another chance, he would make the same choice.

If it were someone else, they might choose to take it step by step, or even pick one or two partners from among them.

But Gao Changsheng knows these three forces better than anyone else.

Beimang, Liyang, and Beiliang seem to be three hostile forces. If you pick any two of them at random, you will find that they have deep hatred for each other.

But the relationship between the three parties is extremely complex.

Moreover, the people sitting at the heads of the Three Kingdoms are all old foxes with very low bottom lines.

There is no benefit in cooperating with any force.

Instead, you may face a series of conspiracies, intrigues, and attacks.

Just like Gu Jiantang in the original novel, he jumped back and forth between various forces, cooperating with this and that. Although he seemed to have suffered no losses, he did not make any big splash until the end and became a mascot with 200,000 soldiers under his command.

Gao Changsheng would certainly not follow this old path.

So even though he had met Xu Fengnian once, he did not contact Beiliang.

Instead of engaging in intrigue with those people, it is better to be straightforward, enter the game forcefully with the power of weapons, carve out a name for yourself first, and then think about the future.

While thinking silently in their hearts, Gao Changsheng and the eighteen riders behind him did not stop for a moment.

After making sure Xu Xiao had withdrawn his troops, he stayed for a while, arranged the relevant defense, and then left quickly.

Of course, he didn't go anywhere else, but went south along the border of Youzhou.

Among the four states of Beiliang, Liangzhou and Lingzhou are arranged in parallel, one above and one below, while Liuzhou and Youzhou are arranged vertically on both sides.

However, Liuzhou looks like a bulge on the left due to its smaller area, while Youzhou is on the right, completely covering the sides of Liangzhou and Lingzhou.

There are also a large number of states and counties bordering Youzhou.

At the top, it is adjacent to Jinzhou of the Liao Dynasty, and at the bottom, it borders Yizhou of Western Shu.

As Gao Changsheng and his group sped along, they were now approaching the southern border of Youzhou.

In front of them was the land of Shu.

At this moment, a magnificent building had already appeared within Gao Changsheng's sight.

This is the symbol of Yizhou's border and also the national border of Western Shu.

It was from here that Xu Xiao led his troops into Western Shu and destroyed the country.

Later, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu came forward, guarding the country's borders with just a sword. After fighting against 800 cavalrymen, he died of exhaustion.

The pavilion in front of us was also seen by later generations. It is said to be called Sword Emperor Pavilion, in order to commemorate the Sword Emperor of Western Shu.

But in Gao Changsheng's opinion, this period of history is really ridiculous and absurd.

It is simply unbelievable that a country, when in danger of extinction, has to rely on a military man to protect its borders.

You should know that according to Gao Changsheng's investigation, the Sword Emperor of Western Shu was only at the first level of Vajra Realm, and was not even a Grandmaster.

The final outcome was also obvious. The enemy only defeated a few hundred cavalrymen and were then trampled into meat paste.

Of course, to a certain extent, the actions of the Sword Emperor of Western Shu were indeed loyal and heroic, but if you look deeper, they are extremely pathetic.

Such a big country could only send out a warrior at the Vajra Realm to protect the country's borders.

This shows how ridiculous the country of Western Shu was.

Of course, it is also possible that the Western Shu army had been annihilated by Xu Xiao before.

But there is one thing that cannot be erased.

Among the nine kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period of Liyang, Western Shu had the lowest fortune. It was even the only one among the nine kingdoms that had not yet gathered national fortune.

When Gao Changsheng heard this for the first time, he even doubted his own ears.

You must know that as long as a country is established, it will gather national destiny.

The difference lies in the strength of the country which determines the strength of the national destiny, and whether it will become a dragon or a dragon in the end.

Even a local force like Beiliang, which is not considered a country, has the fortune of a white python.

And a country does not even have its own national destiny. This shows how decadent the Western Shu Kingdom was.

"Sword Emperor Platform."

Gao Changsheng took a look and saw the towering platform. Next to the platform, he could even see a few people devoutly burning incense and praying.

He shook his head, ignored it, and just waved behind him:

"Keep going and enter Shu."

Horse hooves trampled.

More than a dozen figures rushed past like lightning, crossed the border of Youzhou and entered the territory of Yizhou.

No one knew that the Duke of Qi of the Great Sui Dynasty, who had stirred up half the world and almost brought the Liyang Beimang to its knees, suddenly left his own territory and headed south into the old land of Western Shu.

No one knows why he made this decision, and no one knows what his purpose is?
However, Gao Changsheng was not able to advance very far.

After galloping for only a dozen miles, they had to stop.

"Boom, boom!"

Deafening roars continued to sound from afar.

The eighteen riders drew their scimitars almost immediately and stood on guard around them.

Gao Changsheng also narrowed his eyes unconsciously.

To be honest, he was also a little surprised. He had just entered Yizhou and suddenly encountered the situation.

The vibrating roar clearly emitted a violent fluctuation of true Qi.

It is obvious that there is an expert ahead.

Originally, Gao Changsheng thought that it was some expert who was waiting here deliberately with the intention of coming for him.

After all, when he released his aura so unscrupulously in Nanjing City, there were definitely more than just one or two people who could sense it.

When it comes to countries like Beimang Liyang, what they naturally feel is his will to fight and his military might, which is also the reason why they are solemn and wary.

But for some martial artists, all they can feel is his strength and sword intent.

After the Spring and Autumn War that year, the chess player Huang Sanjia spread the remaining luck of the Spring and Autumn War into the Li Yang martial arts world, which gave birth to a large number of masters and directly led to the prosperity of the Li Yang martial arts world.

In the eyes of many martial artists, they don't care about any forces or battlefields.

All they care about is improving their martial arts.

Therefore, if a war-loving person feels Gao Changsheng's strength, he is very likely to challenge him.

Of course, after just a quick thought, Gao Changsheng put this possibility behind him.

It’s not that the warrior won’t take action at this time.

But even if someone challenges, it is impossible for them to appear here.

Gao Changsheng traveled light on this trip and sped all the way without revealing his whereabouts at all.

Even Liyang Beiliang's all-pervasive spy organization would find it unlikely to penetrate his perception and discover his whereabouts.

It is even less likely that those people in the underworld would find out.

Even if someone wanted to challenge him, they would only go to Nanjing City, and it would be impossible for them to come to Yizhou with foresight and block his way.

There is one more thing.

As time goes by, the distance between us is getting closer and closer.

He had clearly felt that there were not just one but two people fighting.

Or to be more precise, one of the people with a powerful aura was chasing the other person.

"interesting."

Gao Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle. Speaking of being hunted down, this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

The previous few times were all related to the unlucky Lu Xiaofeng.

But this time, it was obviously not the case. After all, after Lu Xiaofeng met Xu Fu before, he left and went to Pegasus Ranch.

Now even he doesn't know the other party's situation.

Of course, Gao Changsheng was also looking forward to what Lu Xiaofeng would gain.

It's not just the truth behind the military horse incident, but also about what happened to Lu Xiaofeng this time.

Speaking of it, Lu Xiaofeng's sudden departure must have been due to some reasons. Just like Luo Xian said, it was to avoid Xu Fu and also to trick Gao Changsheng.

However, he obviously did not know Xu Fu's character. It was absolutely impossible for him to show up casually when the other party did not feel safe.

Not to mention that the other party was seriously injured by Zhang Sanfeng. Even if his vitality was restored, it would be impossible for him to show up when Gao Changsheng now controls hundreds of thousands of troops.

On the other hand, as for Lu Xiaofeng, Gao Changsheng really did not lie to him this time.

The situation at Pegasus Ranch posed no threat, and the Six Fruit Wine was indeed a rare and exquisite wine, left by Lu Miaozi who was hiding at the ranch.

If it were anyone else, Gao Changsheng could be sure that there would not be any major danger.

But he couldn't guarantee that for Lu Xiaofeng.

After going through so many things, he also discovered that in this comprehensive world, Lu Xiaofeng's bad luck attribute seemed to have been strengthened unprecedentedly.

No matter what I do, bad luck always seems to happen.

Sometimes, he doesn't even have to deliberately trick the other party. He just needs to go out for a walk and he will naturally run into trouble.

After all, you can meet people from Xu Fu wherever you go in the ranch, so Gao Changsheng would not be surprised if he encountered any strange things.

"Don't run away. With your current strength, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will never be able to escape from my grasp."

Just as Gao Changsheng was thinking, an old voice came from the sky.

Along with it came an overwhelming sense of atmosphere.

"Instead of struggling like this, it's better to give up, close your eyes and wait, so as not to waste time and energy in vain, which will only make you more miserable in the end."

The old voice continued to ring, and its tone was full of teasing, like a cat catching a mouse.

"No way! You're dreaming!"

Another clear and stubborn voice sounded.

Accompanied by a dazzling knife light.

The sword light was sharp and decisive, but unfortunately it seemed so powerless and sad in the vast and overwhelming true energy that surrounded it.

"Good sword, your talent is indeed good, you are worthy of being her child."

An exclamation of praise sounded in the air.

"It's a pity that your current strength is far from mine."

"In the difference between heaven and earth, no matter how dazzling or outstanding the moves and skills are, in my eyes, they are nothing but children's play."

"Why bother?"

As he was talking, a sigh was heard in the air.

"Don't worry, I am not a heartless person, and I am not here to hurt you this time."

"Give up your struggle. I am only taking things and will never harm your life."

"After all, you and I are... Don't you trust me, Nannan?"

"Shut up!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a shrill roar appeared in the air.

"You are not worthy of this name. I will always remember everything you did. I swore that year that I would kill you in this lifetime."

Along with the shout, there was an even more dazzling sword light.

The blade's force rose up, and it actually created a crack in the majestic inner energy.

"Good knife."

A voice sounded, and it actually came from the mouth of Gao Changsheng who was standing there.

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Gao Changsheng's eyes.

And the direction he was looking at was the knife light in the air.

In terms of the power of the sword, this sword is naturally nothing in front of him now.

Gao Changsheng was still looking at what was hidden behind the knife.

The determination contained in the knife light, as well as a series of things that were still vaguely incubating, caused Gao Changsheng's eyes to fluctuate slightly.

As the true qi was split.

Two figures also appeared from high in the sky.

One of them was an old man in Confucian robes, with eyes as bright as the sea and the corners of his mouth raised.

Although he didn't show any expression, he gave people the feeling that he could control everything in the world.

Just by showing up, people can't help but feel disgusted.

Standing opposite him was a young man dressed in white and holding two swords.

His face was filled with crazy anger, and even looked a little ferocious.

But even so, it did not conceal the young man's extraordinary appearance.

At first glance, it is impossible to tell the gender of this person. He looks like an elegant man, but also like a stunning lady.

But as this person's anger rose, his face turned red and flames continued to emerge from his phoenix eyes.

That neutral feeling was constantly being dispersed.

Everyone can be sure that this is a stunning woman with no flaws in her appearance.

"It's these two people? They are really destined to be together."

Gao Changsheng raised his chin and hummed softly.

If Gao Changsheng still couldn't recognize the two people with such conspicuous attire and their conversation, then he would have read the original book in vain.

However, he did not expect to meet these two people here.

"Xie Guanying, Nangong Pushe."

Obviously, these are the father and daughter who have a life-and-death feud in the original book.

However, in the original novel, it seems that these two never met again from beginning to end until Xie Guanying died.

I didn't expect that we would meet here today.

And it was obvious that it was Xie Guanying who was chasing Nangong Pushe.

After all, although Nangong Pushe hated Xie Guanying, she would definitely not take the initiative to look for Xie Guanying as she had not yet mastered martial arts.

"Is it for luck?"

Gao Changsheng raised his eyebrows and talked to himself.

In Liyang, whether it is warriors or people from the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist sects, they all have a special liking for luck.

Especially Xie Guanying, he even seemed to be possessed by a demon.

Nangong Pushe's mother was a person with great luck.

But later, Xie Guanying launched a sneak attack, which directly led to the opponent's death and scattered all his luck.

One quarter of it was occupied by Xie Guanying, and the other three were scattered in three places.

Two of them were absorbed by Tuoba Bodhisattva and Wudi City respectively, and the last one fell into Tai'an City, which directly gave birth to the human-cat Han Diao Temple.

This is also the reason why Nangong Pushe in the original novel always said that he had four enemies and wanted to become the best in the world.

Of course, compared to the other three who just passively accepted it, Nangong Pushe must have hated the father in front of him who directly killed his wife more.

And now Xie Guanying suddenly took action to hunt down Nangong Pushe. After thinking about it, there could only be one reason, and that was for luck.

Although Nangong Pushe did not inherit his mother's luck, he was able to become such a strong man in the end, so he was naturally a man with great luck.

"Ugh……"

Just as Gao Changsheng was thinking, Xie Guanying in the air sighed again.

"Why bother? It's just a waste of time."

As the words fell, a huge white bowl suddenly rose up.

It quickly grew larger in the air, then instantly flipped over and pressed down.

In the giant bowl, streams of air emitting a mysterious aura continued to roll.

Ordinary people will feel dizzy after just a quick look at it.

"boom!"

The moment the giant bowl appeared, a heart-shaking roar occurred in the air.

Nangong Pushe, who was originally rushing forward towards the sky, was suddenly hit hard.

Her delicate body trembled violently, and the two swords in her hands fell from the air.

A streak of bright red blood was visible from the corner of his mouth.

"boom!"

There was another loud bang.

Nangong Pushe was shocked again, and then fell from the air.

Under the dazzling sunlight, a graceful figure in white slowly fell from the sky.

The hair that was originally tied up suddenly spread out, forming a sad and beautiful picture.
