The moonlight shone down, covering the carriage, which took only an hour to enter and leave the city, and made it look hazy.

Yan Xiaoyi looked solemn and did not dare to relax at all.

Li An half-leaned on the backrest of the car as he was used to, frowning slightly as he felt the scene, a strange feeling welling up in his heart.

"Did you see what you wanted to see today?"

Obviously, there may be no more battles between grandmasters in the world in the future.

"The speed was too fast, and I was not able to see everything clearly."

You must know that he is the strongest archer in the world, with amazing eyesight, and he can see every detail.

But Si Gu Jian and Li An are both swordsmen, and their moves emphasize fast against fast. "Although I didn't see everything clearly, I also felt something different, and understood the path of martial arts after that."

Li An nodded and stopped talking, just letting the carriage drive towards the dock.

After two months of traveling from the border of Xihu, it was just for this battle tonight. Or, in other words, it was just for this hour. This time, he had to come in person to see Si Gu Jian. Others or letters would be stopped outside the city by Jianlu's people, and they would not even be able to see Si Gu Jian.
Inside the cabin.

"How is it, has the matter been dealt with?" Yelu Xuan was sitting in a wheelchair, still feeling the fine porcelain teacup from the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The scenery along the way and the unique view outside Dongyi City were things he had never experienced in the Gobi Desert, the playground of Xihu.

He was curious about everything he saw.

Everything feels new and never boring.

However, if he was really allowed to stay in this land forever, it would be impossible. He would rather return to the endless sky filled with wind and sand.

Seeing Li An nod silently, Yelu Xuan knew that the trend of the world was unstoppable.

Without Xihu and Dongyi City as a barrier and arm, Nanqing can't resist Northern Qi now. Maybe it is better in terms of the quality of soldiers, but Nanqing doesn't have many generals who can lead the army now, just Ye Zhong. Not to mention that Si Gu Jian might also attack Nanqing from the direction of Dongyi City.

"Si Gu Jian agreed to let Dongyi City join the war?"

"Dongyi City will not send troops."

"You didn't kill Si Gu Jian after being so indecisive?"

Li An picked up the teacup and looked at the sea view outside the window. The boat went down smoothly and went straight into the sea.

This time they will sail on the sea, return to Donghai County, and then take a carriage back to Shangjing City.

"Si Gu Jian may need to recuperate for a month or two. The ninth-rank masters of Jian Lu will join Northern Qi. Most of them will join the army to command troops, and a small number will serve as officials in the court." Li An did not want to hide anything. "After Dongyi City is incorporated into Northern Qi, these people will be Si Gu Jian's eyes. If they see injustice caused by the persecution of Dongyi people, they will be able to speak out."

These are all the conditions that Si Gu Jian meets.

Yelu Xuan was shocked when he heard this.

The moonlight shone through Yelu Xuan's eyebrows, emitting a white light, as if his eyebrows had suddenly turned white. Before this, Yelu Xuan had never seen Si Gu Jian. It was just that the four great masters in the world were so famous that everyone knew their names, but few people could see their true faces, so most of them were just rumors.

The battle at Dadong Mountain was just the first time Yelu Xuan met Si Gu Jian.

It was hard to imagine that a short and thin old man, the legendary Si Gu Jian, who was unparalleled in dominance and murderous, could still use such a sharp sword technique. Of course, this did not affect his implicit respect for Si Gu Jian, and then they fought.
In that battle, the two men had their own goals and different thoughts.

Of course, I don't use my full strength when I attack.

But even so, he could understand that if it really came to a life-and-death fight, he would not be Si Gu Jian's opponent.
The reason why he was able to drag Ku He to death in the Xihu tent was not only because the other party was seriously injured, but also because of the consumption of energy. Yelu Xuan was not even a bit better than the other party in terms of moves and true energy. Especially the other party's move seemed to be a magic spell learned from the West!

By integrating Western magic with Tianyi Dao techniques, the whole person seemed to be integrated with nature, and transformed into a perfect form. No matter what moves the opponent used to attack, Ku He could use the power of nature to dissolve it, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

In an instant, his severely injured body was full of energy and had no flaws. Finally, his flesh could no longer hold on, and he had no choice but to think of dying together with himself.

That’s right, Si Gu Jian, who is a bit stronger than himself, was easily defeated by Li An?
What a monster.

"In this case, the destruction of Nanqing is foreseeable." Yelu Xuan showed an excited look, and he hurriedly asked: "Then when do we set off to the legendary temple?"

Temple
Li An also took a deep breath, feeling slightly excited.

"Why are you panicking? Even if you want to go to the temple, you have to go through the gate to the north of Da Qi." Li An suddenly looked at Yelu Xuan with contempt. "That is in the far north, a land of ice and snow with long dark nights! If you are not well prepared, even if you are a great master, you will not be able to reach the temple alive with your legs crippled!"

Not to mention, you still have to find a way once you get there?

You, who is in a wheelchair, are definitely enjoying the benefits, but, do you really want him to search the entire mountain range?
We must have someone to help!

As soon as Li An spoke, the silence in the cabin weakened slightly. Yelu Xuan felt relieved. He knew that they would be leaving soon. As long as they could go, they would be fine. He immediately said, "I have practiced the special ice energy, so a little coldness is not a problem. Then let's go to Shangjing first, gather people, and make preparations."

Poor~
Li An looked at the ignorant Yelu Xuan with full sympathy.

Even if others don’t know about the temple, how could he not know about it?
It's really not a fairyland. I went there just to satisfy my curiosity and answer some questions in my heart. What's the other party's purpose? Seeing the other party's expectation, Li An didn't know what to say.

It took less than a month to return to Shangjing City from Dongyi City by boat and car.

Seeing that the city wall of Shangjing City was visible in the distance, Li An seemed a little hesitant. He silently picked up the bowl of porridge and began to chew it carefully with the noodles and dried meat.

These things were taken out by Li An from the space. Except for Yelu Xuan who was curious, Yan Xiaoyi was already used to it. Neither of them asked any questions and just thought that these were magical items that Li An brought with him when he came out of the temple.

Seeing Li An put down the bowl of porridge, Yelu Xuan said very seriously: "Mr. Li, do you seem to be a little afraid of returning to Shangjing?"

After thinking for a moment, Li An nodded.

Without asking any more questions, Yelu Xuan knew the reason. "If it is really hard to explain, after you visit the temple, you can take my head back to Shangjing City and present it to the empress."

After a long silence, Li An nodded again. (End of this chapter)
