Chapter 144 Cyber Sword!
When the two arrived at the valley on the outskirts of the city, a raging fire had already started in the distance!
The two looked at each other, then quickly moved to a giant tree on the outskirts and looked out.
At the front of the valley, Uesugi Tora was leading his team to surround a group of Jinyiwei, while his deputy general Tan Wu had died in the line of duty.
As if sensing something, Li An looked far to the left.
Then he saw Shen Zhong had ordered his men to ride on horseback, trying to quietly encircle Uesugi Tiger's men.
······
"Commander!"
"how's it going?"
“It’s already surrounded!”
Shen nodded, his face gloomy.
He thought that there was an order from his superiors to give Sean a chance to live, and he hadn't even put in much effort. If Sean died in the fire, it wouldn't be his fault!
But let's put this first task aside. Uesugi Tiger secretly led his troops out of the camp, which was a big taboo, so he couldn't blame himself for being ruthless! It's funny, did he think that a black cloth covering his face could hide his identity?
Shen Zhong walked towards the fire without haste.
When Shen Zhong arrived in front of Uesugi Tora, Uesugi Tora had just stopped the bloody spear in his hand, and a Jinyiwei fell to the ground with an unwilling look on his face.
"Are these the only ones left?"
"Reporting to the commander, these are the only ones left after the encirclement and fighting, but there is no trace of Uesugi Tora!"
Shen nodded and shouted loudly: "Uesugi Tiger! Show up!"
Seeing that there was no movement on either side, he thought to himself that if a ninth-rank master wanted to escape, it was understandable that no one could stop him.
But as suspicious as he was, he couldn't help but test it. He took the longbow handed to him by his men, took out the arrow and shot at a man in black!
Unexpectedly, before the arrow reached the man in black, it was hit by another arrow that arrived first halfway and fell to the ground, breaking into two pieces.
"This is."
Shen Zhong turned sideways and just happened to see Li An and the other man approaching silently.
"Captain Yan is a really good archer!"
He is worthy of the title of the best archer! He emphasized in his heart.
Yan Xiaoyi had just arrived in Northern Qi and had not made any achievements. He was only initially appointed as the Yihui Commandant by the Northern Qi Emperor, which was not as good as being in Southern Qing. However, Yan Xiaoyi did not take these things seriously. He only nodded to Shen Dian after hearing this, tacitly accepting his praise.
"I've seen the Imperial Master!"
"Hello, Lord Shen!"
Shen Zhong smiled slightly and asked, "But the superiors are dissatisfied with the task assigned to them?"
Li An knew that he was not referring to this matter, so he just said it directly: "Sean is not dead, and Shangshanhu is not gone."
"Oh?" Shen Zhong understood the meaning of the piano sound. The Grand Master must have been here for a while. It was impossible for Shangshan Hu to disappear under the Grand Master's nose.
"I don't know what the Imperial Master is planning."
"Master Shen, there is no need to test me." Li An smiled at a soldier who lowered his head beside him and called softly, "Sean, follow me."
The soldier was silent at first, and then he burst into laughter after a while.
Xiao En knew that he could not escape the master's eyes, so he did not ask how he was discovered. He took off his helmet, revealing his old face covered in blood, and asked Li An: "Are you Mr. Sijue?"
Li An nodded, "Yes." "Then this archer must be General Yan, it really opens my eyes!" Sean sighed, then slowly closed his eyes: "Sir, you are not here to kill me? As far as I know, if I die, it will be better for the group of people in high positions!"
"As you said." Li An agreed, "But it's only good for those dignitaries, not necessarily for His Majesty and the Queen Mother!"
"I have a question." Sean frowned. He had been locked up for too long, and the information he knew now was far behind the outside world. "This method seems familiar to me, but Your Majesty and the Queen Mother actually have no grudges against each other?"
"Mr. Xiao's guess is correct. The current situation is clear at a glance."
Li An turned his head and looked at a man in black on the wooden steps and said, "Uesugi Tiger, return the military power to His Majesty tomorrow, and Sean will be fine. After that, there may be a chance to start over!"
Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed in Sean's eyes.
"No! General!"
"Beware of fraud!"
Uesugi Tora took off the black cloth on his face and fell into hesitation after listening to the shouts of several guards behind him.
"My son, why don't you thank Master Li Xian?" Sean's words brought Uesugi Tiger back to reality.
When Shangshan Hu heard his foster father's reminder, he was also shocked and broke out in cold sweat. He was really bewildered. This man was a great master. Even if he didn't make a move, Yan Xiaoyi couldn't beat him. What was there to hesitate about?
"Can you really keep my adoptive father safe?" Uesugi Tora asked in a deep voice.
He just wanted a guarantee, even if the person in front of him was a grandmaster, he had no choice but to offend him.
"Of course." Li An responded affirmatively.
However, Shen Zhong was not included in the topic of all these conversations, and he did not intend to compromise.
"Master, the matter of Sean is His Majesty's golden words, so I won't say much! But I'm afraid we can't let Uesugi Tiger go!"
Shen Zhong's face was gloomy. It wasn't that he couldn't see through it, but he wanted to cut the Gordian knot. Once today's matter was over, no matter how it was counted, it would be a great achievement for him! By then, no one in the army would be able to threaten His Majesty with a heavy weapon, and he could also get rid of a strong enemy. Why not do it?
Besides, he had not received any orders from above regarding the disposal of Uesugi Tora, so he might as well kill him now!
This kind of traitor deserves death ten times over for what he did before, which would not be enough to vent his anger.
Yes, Shen Zhong is patriotic, and he loves his country more than he loves himself.
Therefore, the Jinyiwei knight behind him slowly approached
"Sir Shen, I am standing here to represent His Majesty's intention!"
Although Li An was smiling, his voice gradually turned cold as he looked at the royal dog in front of him who had a strong self-will.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually tense, the guards beside Shen Zhong had already blocked him behind them. And Yan Xiaoyi locked onto Shen Zhong's throat!
"I'm sorry, Imperial Master!"
Shen Zhong gritted his teeth and said that he would kill Shangshan Hu today!
He was not worried that Qi would have no generals to resist Nanqing in the future. Li An in front of him was a scholar, and he thought it would be no problem for him to lead troops and fight. In addition, Yan Xiaoyi, who came from a military background, would not be much more important with Shangshan Hu, and no less with him!
If you are disloyal to the royal family, the higher your talent, the greater the harm!
"Throw the spear! Shoot the arrow!"
After giving the order in a deep voice, Shen Zhong stepped back and blended into the crowd, being careful of Yan Xiaoyi's arrows!
Li An raised his left hand to block Yan Xiaoyi who was about to attack, and pointed his right hand at the sword box like a hook. Five cyber flying swords flew out, shuttling back and forth, dividing the countless spears and arrows shot at Shangshan Hudi in the air into two parts and blocking them one by one!
Faced with this mythical operation, everyone in the field was stunned and even forgot to throw the spears in their hands.
Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it. Although the Grandmaster was extremely powerful and was rumored to be able to split mountains and cut rivers, this was obviously a method used by a sword immortal. How could a mortal do this? Some people rubbed their swollen and red eyes, and looked at Li An with increasingly fiery eyes.
With such a great man in my Northern Qi, and with the old national teacher Ku He in charge, why should we be afraid of the barbarians in Southern Qing?
Only Li An curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and complained about this low-powered system in his heart: "System, why don't you quickly give me a sword formation!"
This move seemed gorgeous, blocking the rain of arrows from the forest of guns, but in fact it was not as effective as the wall of energy that was generated by the burst of one's own true energy! It looked magical, but in fact it was very mentally exhausting. This kept emitting brain waves, just to prevent several flying swords from colliding in the air, and a lot of skills were wasted.
This is all thanks to the practice I've been doing these days, otherwise I wouldn't have reached this level.
Seeing that the desired effect has been achieved, he can spread his methods through the mouths of these people, and then he will be able to enter the court as soon as possible and use the national resources to achieve his wish.
"Sir Shen, in my opinion, this Shangshan Tiger is better than you."
"More valuable!"
