Chapter 221 They Will Come
"I understand." Xiao Shen took the golden sword from Lu Sen's hand with both hands: "From now on, I swear that I will never set foot in the Central Plains for the rest of my life. If I break my oath, I will be indignant to both humans and gods, and I will be struck by lightning."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Sen steadily, with extreme desire in his eyes.
The more uncivilized a civilization is, the more it believes in things like gods and destiny.
Even the Northern Song Dynasty could not escape the feudal superstitions. How could the Khitan Kingdom, which had just entered the feudal era from a nomadic tribe, avoid it?
"Remember your oath." Lu Sen smiled faintly: "If you break it, the heaven will not take you away, and this sword will naturally be your death warrant."
After he finished speaking, the surrounding fog quickly gathered together, and soon Lu Sen and the other three disappeared in the fog.
Xiao Shen, holding the golden sword, was gradually surrounded by mist.
I don’t know how long it had been, but Xiao Shen suddenly woke up from his bed. He looked at the familiar tent above the bed, and his thoughts gradually came back to him.
"So it was all just a dream?" Xiao Shen shook his head helplessly: "How could the immortals in the Central Plains think that an outsider like me would have a destiny? It's true that I think about things every day..."
The mumbling suddenly stopped, and Xiao Shen subconsciously pinched his right hand and grabbed something hard.
He turned his head and found that his right hand was holding a golden hilt, and the style of the sword was exactly the same as in the dream.
His expression was wooden at first, then quickly turned into ecstasy.
"It turns out it wasn't a dream." Xiao Shen picked up the sword and looked at it carefully.
In his dream, he was so anxious to ask the immortal to grant him the sword and destiny that he had no time to observe the sword.
Now, at first glance, I realized that although the sword looked like pure gold, upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was translucent.
Through the sword, you can barely see the object behind it.
Then he uttered another "mumble" because he saw a few faint small words inside the sword.
Holding the sword horizontally, he looked at the characters carefully.
"It is the destiny!"
Xiao Shen read out the characters, his heart filled with joy.
This sword is different at first glance. It looks like it is made of citrine, but when you touch the sword, it actually feels like metal.
It is not easy to have a sword with words engraved on the inside of the blade.
It is not something that ordinary people can create.
"It's just that the name of the sword is a bit strange, King's Waterfall?" Xiao Shen got off the bed. Ever since he held the sword, he felt as if he had endless energy. "But the name of the divine sword has its own reason, I just don't know it."
Xiao Shen was already extremely excited at this time. He was actually recognized by the immortal and was given a magic sword. In addition, he felt refreshed, so he couldn't help but dance with the sword in the bedroom.
After all, he was born a military officer. Although he was a playboy before, he had practiced some rudimentary swordsmanship. When he swung the golden sword, it turned into balls of light that flowed rhythmically.
He was just too excited, and the sword suddenly slashed across the cabinet on the wall.
Xiao Shen stopped. He felt as if he had scratched the cabinet, but it also seemed as if he had not, because there was only a little bit of cutting sensation, which was different from his impression of the 'feeling' of a sword scratching a hard object.
Just as he was wondering, a crack suddenly appeared on the wardrobe, and then the upper half fell off at an angle.
It turned out that it was too sharp, and that's why the effect was seen.
"So amazing." Xiao Shen held the golden sword with a look of amazement on his face. He felt that this sword was different from the others. "It should have other magical properties. I have to try them one by one."
He placed the golden sword on the sword rack beside him. As soon as the sword left his hand, he felt empty, as if his strength had weakened a lot.
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Shen took the sword in his hand again, and this time the feeling of being full of energy returned.
"This sword..." Xiao Shen sighed for a long time: "The immortal dares to give me the sword, it seems that he is not afraid that I will regret it. It seems that I can't invade the Central Plains in this lifetime, but it doesn't matter... If I can become the ruler of Khitan, I will have no regrets in this life."
Xiao Shen chuckled while holding the golden sword, his eyes filled with pride and strong self-confidence.
As for Lu Sen, he had already hidden in a cave under a forest.
The small system home was built again, and Lu Xianxian turned into a huge fox, lying on the ground to rest.
The illusion just created must have exhausted her. If it lasted any longer, her true form would have been revealed on the spot.
The magic spells of the demon clan are all rough and crude, even rougher than the skills of the Shushan School.
After all, the demons are naturally good at gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so they naturally won't study how to save it.
Then when the catastrophe of spiritual energy depletion comes, they will be the first to perish.
If it weren’t for Lu Sen, in a dozen years, both Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu would have been scared to death.
"Stay here for another two or three days until Xianxian recovers, then we'll go to Shangjing Linhuang Prefecture."
The three girls naturally listened to him.
After staying for three days, when Lu Xianxian felt better, the three of them set off.
Just like last time, Lu Sen and others relied on Lu Xianxian's invisibility and short-distance flight skills to sneak into Linhuang Mansion.
Once again, I returned to the hole I had dug .
Because of his experience, Lu Sen continued to synthesize a "mustache" this time to cover up his appearance and figure, and walked around outside to gather information in a swaggering manner.
This time, Zhao Bilian followed him, while Lu Xianxian and Xue Nu rested and waited in the small system home.
The demon race is too dependent on spiritual energy.
After walking around, Lu Sen found that the atmosphere in Linhuang City was a bit solemn.
There were obviously fewer people on the street, and soldiers patrolling from time to time.
However, these soldiers did not seem to check identities, they were simply maintaining law and order.
Lu Sen was walking on the street, thinking about where to go to get some information, when he suddenly saw two acquaintances.
The white-browed boy and his master.
In fact, the white-browed boy now has black hair and eyebrows, and his master was originally dressed as a monk, but now he looks like a Taoist priest.
Lu Sen himself did not recognize them, but the system's vision would mark out acquaintances, and Lu Sen saw them at a glance.
Lu Sen followed the two of them and was thinking about whether to go up and talk to them, but he saw the two swords suddenly flash into an alley.
Lu Sen and Zhao Bilian followed, but not long into the alley, the two people in front suddenly stopped and turned around.
Then, behind them, two more people jumped down from the nearby wall, one in front and one behind, blocking the two of them in the middle.
"My friend, why are you following us, master and disciple?" Wei Zhen clasped his fists slightly and looked Lu Sen up and down with a murderous look on his face.
If Lu Sen said something wrong, he would definitely take action.
Zhao Bilian was holding a lotus horn in each hand and eating them with relish. She looked at Wei Zhen and curled her lips slightly.
So weak, five of them are not enough to fight on my own.
Lu Sen smiled and said, "We have met before, and I saved both of your lives."
Every time the 'moustache' was pasted, it formed a different image in the eyes of outsiders, so Wei Zhen naturally did not recognize it.
But Wei Zhen was not stupid. After a moment of hesitation, his eyes visibly lit up. But was this the hero who had caused such a big disturbance in the Xiao Mansion a few months ago?
"You can't really be considered a hero." Lu Sen clasped his fists and laughed, "You guys are not that chivalrous, and you haven't even left Linhuang Prefecture yet. How many Khitan dog officials have you assassinated recently?"
Wei Zhen looked around and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk. Please follow me."
The two knights behind also put away their weapons. They were also the people Lu Sen rescued last time. Now the four of them led the way, carefully, or stealthily, turning here and there in the alley, and then entered a private house.
The house is quite big. Although it is a bit shabby, it has three courtyards.
After entering the inner room, Wei Zhen asked Lu Sen and Zhao Bilian to sit down, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It turns out that my benefactor brother has not left Linhuang Mansion. It's a pity that I haven't run into him yet."
He was indeed very happy. It was a rare opportunity to see other martial artists in the enemy's base camp.
Lu Sen clasped his fists in return: "I left, but I came back again."
"Why did you come back? Are you like me and others, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to kill a few more corrupt officials?"
Lu Sen shook his head: "I came back this time for other things. I don't know if this brother knows that strange things have happened in the Khitan Palace recently."
A few of them looked at each other, and finally Wei Zhen said, "I have heard of this matter. There are rumors in the market that there is a monster in the Khitan Palace."
When Lu Sen heard this, he thought that he had made the right decision by following these two people.
"What kind of trick is this?"
"We don't know the details, but my disciple's fifth uncle traveled a long way from the Central Plains and used Qinggong to sneak into the palace. He wanted to assassinate the Khitan emperor, but was stopped by a female demon, who hit him with a palm and almost killed him."
Lu Sen was stunned and looked at Xu Qing: "Are you Bai Yutang's nephew?"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and Wei Zhen asked in surprise: "Brother, have you met Brother Jinmaoshu Bai?"
"I met him in Hangzhou." Lu Sen nodded.
"That's not right." Wei Zhen seemed alert. "Logically speaking, Brother Bai has been away from Khitan for just over half a month, and now he can only return to Hangzhou at most. If this brother saw Brother Bai in Hangzhou, how did you appear in Khitan so quickly?"
When the other three heard this, they subconsciously grasped their weapons.
It is normal for them to be so alert. After all, this is the enemy's base camp and there are enemy spies everywhere. If they take a wrong step, they will die.
Lu Sen tore open his mustache and said with a smile: "My last name is Lu, and I cured Jinmaoshu's serious injury."
Lu...real person?
Looking at Lu Sen's handsome face that suddenly appeared, everyone felt as if time had been stolen.
After all, the man who was a big bearded man in their eyes just now suddenly turned into a handsome young man with otherworldly appearance.
This excessive conversion will cause the human brain to produce a strange illusion.
But they soon realized who was in front of them.
Because Bai Yuting returned to Hangzhou just to see Lu Sen, hoping that he would save his life.
Only Master Lu could rush here from Hangzhou in just two or three days.
Xu Liang took a few steps to Lu Sen, knelt down on his knees, raised his head and asked, "Master Lu, how is my fifth uncle now?"
"Didn't I say it just now? It's been cured." Lu Sen did not avoid the other party's kneeling. Although he looked young, in terms of seniority, he was Xu Liang's elder.
I deserve this kneeling.
Xu Liang immediately smiled widely, looking a bit simple.
The other three also stood up, clasped their fists and bowed to Lu Sen, saying in unison: "I greet Master Lu."
"There's no need to do that." Lu Sen waved his hand: "I'm just an idle person, not worthy of your courtesy."
The three of them straightened up at this point, but their eyes were still fanatical.
Lu Sen didn't know that he actually had a very high reputation in the world.
Not to mention honey and fairy fruits which can help martial artists improve their skills, these things are too rare and ordinary martial artists cannot get them.
What really made Lu Sen famous in the world was his two experiences as a military supervisor.
The first time, the ten thousand wheel chariots hit the Xixia army, crushing more than 100,000 people to death.
The second time, he brought the Yang and Zhe families and used immortal tools to directly break through the Xingqing Prefecture of Western Xia, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire Song Dynasty.
Although Xingqing Prefecture was later taken back by the Xixia people, no one thought it was Lu Sen's fault.
The people of Jianghu are a group that values strength very much. Lu Sen kills hundreds of thousands of people at most. His terrifying "combat power" makes them admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
People in the martial arts world also value reputation and achievements. Lu Sen supervised the army twice and defeated the powerful Western Xia army both times. He served the country and the people. You can also say that he expanded the territory. Who would not admire such an achievement?
"So, Master Lu came to Linhuang this time with the intention of killing the dog emperor of Khitan?" Wei Zhen couldn't help but ask excitedly.
In their opinion, if Lu Sen was willing to take action, the dog emperor Yelu Hongji would definitely not survive.
In fact, if it was a surprise attack, Lu Sen could kill Yelu Hongji, but whether he could escape afterwards was a problem.
The durability of iron armor is limited. It can withstand a volley of one or two thousand arrows, but it will eventually run out.
Moreover, Yelu Hongji was pro-Song Dynasty. If we kill him, what if the new emperor is a war-loving emperor?
In addition, Yelu Hongji was considered a foolish man in Khitan history. He was close to villains and distant from wise ministers. During his reign, the national strength of Khitan did not seem to increase much.
Now another 'Xiao Shen' has jumped out. If the two dragons fight each other in the future, it would be strange if the national strength of Khitan is not greatly consumed.
There is no need to risk going to the palace yourself and assassinate an emperor among millions of imperial guards.
"That's not the case. Killing Yelu Hongji would be detrimental to the Song Dynasty." Lu Sen smiled.
Xu Qing was a little puzzled and was about to ask, but Wei Zhen stopped him and shook his head, saying, "Master Lu's move must have a deep meaning. We ordinary people should not delve into it."
Xu Qing thought about it. He remembered that his father and several uncles all respected Master Lu very much, so he gave up asking.
"Then why did Master Lu come here before?" Wei Zhen asked with a fist salute.
Lu Sen replied: "Because of that witch."
Several people suddenly realized.
Yes... Ordinary people cannot deal with monsters like demons, so it is normal to leave them to immortals.
"I heard some news about this witch yesterday, but I don't know if it's true or not." A fat knight stood up and said with a fist, "The witch has white dog ears on her head and two long white tails behind her. She shows herself to people without any scruples. It is said that she is now living in the Xiao family with the queen!"
Um?
Lu Sen was a little puzzled. At a time like this, the queen did not live in the palace but instead lived in her parents' home. Wasn't she afraid of something going to happen?
Or was he held hostage by that whale?
While Lu Sen was puzzled, in the inner room of the Xiao family, Xiao Rongrong looked at the girl in front of her depressedly: "Grandfather, please let me go back. I really don't know what happened to those people last time. If you want to find them, you should ask the emperor for help. I am about to be deposed now, so I can't help you."
"It doesn't matter. I have a feeling that as long as I stay with you, they will come to me."
The beautiful woman who looked exactly like Lu Xianxian smiled sweetly.
