Chapter 98: A Carefree Journey among Flowers·Twenty-six

The south of the Yangtze River is lush and green.

Xiao Hao arrived at the Hetao area where Shi Zhixuan

's army was located as promised, and was warmly welcomed by the Sui army. The Great Sui Dynasty instigated and supported Tuli's rebellion. After Tuli's rebellion failed, the Sui Emperor promised him the Hetao area and recognized Tuli's status as Khan, making him an ally of the Sui Dynasty.

This time, the Great Sui Dynasty officially sent troops to attack the Turks to help Tuli fight against Datou. Tuli should have actively cooperated, but because the person sent was Pei Ju, there were many rumors about this person's conspiracy within the Turks, so his attitude towards this ally was not good.

There was a rumor among the Turks that Pei Ju was a sinister and cunning man who deliberately caused the division of the Turks. The endless internal wars in the Turks in recent years were caused by this man. He moved between various forces in the Turks and was eloquent. If it were not for him, the Turks might not be in the current state of fragmentation.

He hated them, but he still had to do his best to show his hatred. However, he often mocked and sneered, and showed his displeasure.

In addition, the Eastern Turks had a military general named Bi Xuan, who was very high in the army. The Turkish warriors regarded him as a god. Every time Bi Xuan showed up in a high profile, the Sui army could only swallow their anger and watch these so-called allies show off and grab the credit, as if the Sui army was just a foil in the attack on Datou.

All this was because the Sui army did not have a spiritual figure like the Turkic army. Although they had elite soldiers and generals, and Shi Zhixuan was their strategist, they were repeatedly bullied and could not beat the others. They could only swallow the ridicule and bullying, and the soldiers were already full of anger.

Only a Grandmaster can fight against the Grandmaster on the opposite side. The man called the Grandmaster in the Central Plains is a quiet and incorruptible person who has never heard of war. The Sui army soldiers are annoyed and angry, and they only regret that they can't practice such top-notch kung fu.

The alliance relationship cannot be easily destroyed. They can't ask for it back when they are wronged. Even if someone can give face to the arrogant Turks and reduce their prestige, it would be good.

Xiao Hao's arrival at this time is like sending charcoal in the snow and a light in the dark room.

Hearing that the master in the Wanhua Valley who is about to break the void actually took the initiative to come to the army to cheer for the Great Sui, the Sui army excitedly and expectantly waited at the entrance of the garrison, all eager to see the style of this peerless master for the first time.

Shi Zhixuan, wearing a human-skin mask, stood respectfully at the door to greet them.

Xiao Hao rode Ba Hongchen, approaching here at a very fast speed from a tiny dot in the distance. His black hair flew, his sleeves flowed like a fairy, and his expression was cold yet gentle. When he was almost in front of them, he suddenly pulled the reins, and Ba Hongchen stopped steadily in front of everyone. From

the sky came the sound of a falcon that could stop the clouds from moving. A white phoenix circled high above Xiao Hao's head, and he had a clear view of the situation below.

The soldiers of the Sui army had been fighting with swords all day long, so they had never seen such a meticulous person before. They were all staring at him with their eyes wide open.

Is this the servant boy beside the Grandmaster? He looks so handsome... The Grandmaster is indeed the Grandmaster, and even the people serving him are extraordinary!

Looking at the horse he was riding, wow... its eyeballs were actually blood red, like a glass bead soaked in blood, and it was emitting a chilling crimson aura. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this must be a top-quality warhorse that was unrivaled in the world.

Ba Hongchen snorted, and the Sui army soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva. This horse looked like it had walked out of hell, and they really didn't dare to look it in the eye.

But the young scholar on the horse was still more pleasing to the eye!

Shi Zhixuan stepped forward and said respectfully, "Pei Ju welcomes the Valley Master."

Xiao Haozong dismounted, his movements were as smooth as flowing water, and he stood in front of him with his sleeves fluttering. He returned the greeting gracefully, "Lord Pei is busy with military affairs, so there is no need to come to pick you up."

Shi Zhixuan put on Pei Ju's fake face and smiled, "The Valley Master is a great martial arts master of the time, and we should treat him with all courtesy."

The soldiers behind him rubbed their eyes. Oh my god, the deep, unpredictable and moody Lord Pei actually smiled? ! And he smiled so gently... They must be dazzled! !

Shi Wansui's mouth was open so wide that an egg could fit in it, and the soldiers around him were not much better, "Lord Pei, this, this is the Valley Master of Wanhua?" Where is the great master who was about to break the void! He is too young!

The other soldiers also showed surprised expressions, what? This is not the disciple and follower of the grandmaster? It's him himself? ?

Shi Zhixuan turned his head and said to Shi Wansui: "General Shi, there is no need to be surprised. Master Xiao is young and promising..."

Shi Wansui secretly pulled him aside, frowned and said strangely: "Old Pei, are you sure you are not wrong? Didn't you say that according to your plan, you will be able to attract experts to help? You, he..." He looked at the elegant and gentle Xiao Hao over there, and wanted to point his finger over but retracted it, "This kid is so weak, I can lift three in one hand. Let alone facing the Turkic martial arts master, anyone picked out from the barracks can chop him in two. "Son, are you still able to do it?"

Shi Zhixuan raised his eyebrows and asked calmly: "Why? General Shi doesn't trust me?"

Shi Wansui pinched his hands back and forth and said anxiously: "Tsk, no! This kid looks more elegant than you. Tomorrow, the arena we set up to boost the morale of the army will start. He looks like he is no match for Bi Xuan!"

Xiao Hao watched the conversation between the two of them on the recent chat channel and laughed secretly. He said behind them: "General, don't underestimate me. I am also very good at fighting."

Shi Wansui's back stiffened and turned around awkwardly.

Several voices of suppressed laughter broke out in the barracks. Seeing Xiao Hao say such words with such a gentle appearance, these veteran soldiers could hardly hold back.

"I thought there would be an old man with a fairy-like appearance, or at least with white hair. I never expected that..."

"Hey, stop talking. This young man looks innocent. What if we say something too harsh and make him cry..." "

That martial arts master Bi Xuan has a majestic figure and is extremely tall. He is probably twice as tall as him, and his aura is so intimidating that our grandmaster is just playing with him."

"Isn't it? I think tomorrow's competition will not only fail to boost the morale of the army, but the brothers will probably have to bear the ridicule and scolding for this weak grandmaster."

...

Xiao Hao heard everything they said clearly. He knew that these soldiers who were used to seeing fierce barbarians and brave warriors would be deceived by his appearance and look down on him, but he was not angry.

He looked around and saw a solitary target not far away. He immediately drew out the ink pen from his waist and leisurely read a Yangming Finger on the target.

His footsteps did not move at all, but the ink was flying around him. Before the soldiers could see his movements clearly, they saw the pen spinning in his hand for several dazzling circles, and the target in the distance broke into pieces with a "bang", shattering into pieces all over the ground.

Everyone gasped.

How did Xiao Hao do it with just that brush when he was so far away from the target? How come he just did a magic trick and destroyed the target? ?

A soldier muttered faintly: "I, I heard that a martial arts master with deep internal strength can kill people wherever his energy reaches without using any weapons..."

Everyone came to their senses and fell silent.

No wonder people often say that a martial arts master can kill one person every ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.

The soldiers looked at each other, and their faces changed from worry, contempt and disappointment at the beginning to a faint excitement.

Xiao Hao put the brush back to his waist calmly, as if he had done something insignificant.

Shi Zhixuan patted Shi Wansui on the shoulder and comforted him, "See, what did I say? General Shi doesn't have to worry."

Shi Wansui's eyes fell on the target in the distance, then looked at Xiao Hao, and his heart turned cloudy. "Lord Pei is indeed reliable!" He smacked his lips and praised a few times, a smile creeping onto his face: "Hehehe... I suddenly like this weak boy!"

He linked arms with the soldier with whom he had a good relationship, and laughed secretly: "You said that tomorrow, when he sits over there, those Turks will definitely look down on him as we did when we first met him. And then this timid gentleman will give them a lesson like he was shooting at a target... Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel comfortable! Comfortable!"

Shi Zhixuan walked up to Xiao Hao, seemingly receiving him but actually giving him instructions: "Before the army goes out to fight, it is customary to boost the morale of each party. This time the situation is special. The Eastern Turks "It is a great honor to encourage our troops and inspire the warriors to be competitive and win. However, Bi Xuan is the best fighter in the grassland, and now only you can suppress his arrogance. Bi Xuan is invincible and has created a unique martial art called "Yan Yang Da Fa". It is said that no one can knock him off his horse. Please be careful, sir."

Shi Wansui came up and said, "What, Grand Master, are you sure you can deal with Bi Xuan? A few days ago, I saw him leading the Turks to practice in the training ground. Ha, he looked so majestic..."

Xiao Hao is now a full-level Yanyunhua, and his skill level has been trained back. Except that the weapon in his hand is not very good, in terms of actual combat ability, he is confident that he can fight with the three masters.

When dealing with Ning Daoqi, he was still a little restrained. After so much time, he and Sun Simiao studied meridians in Wanhua Valley all day. Looking around the world, there are really not many people who can make him suffer.

Xiao Hao smiled at Shi Wansui and said, "General Shi, tell me the details of the other party, maybe it will increase my confidence."

When Shi Wansui saw him smile, his mind flew away. No wonder they say that Wanhua is a place of outstanding people and spirituality. People born in this Feng Shui treasure land are really different! He immediately agreed happily, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked him. Shi Zhixuan asked Xiao Hao to enter the account, as if it was just inadvertent.

"I have been secretly observing Bi Xuan for many days, and I can help you solve your doubts."

Shi Wansui looked at their backs in a strange way, with a question mark in his heart. Could it be that Old Pei was possessed by a ghost? After working with him for so many years, this was the first time he was so attentive as today.

Overnight, the Sui army had walked out of Xiao Hao's image, but knowing that he did have some ability was one thing, and whether he could really defeat Bi Xuan was another.

Even Ning Daoqi did not dare to say that he could compete with Bi Xuan.

This contradictory mood of looking forward to being proud and worried about this elegant hermit lingered in everyone's heart.

On the parade ground, the Turks and the Great Sui were separated on both sides. Two warriors were competing hard on the central stage, and the cheers from both sides were deafening.

On the high seat opposite, a young man who looked to be about thirty years old was in high spirits, his eyes were full of dark emotions but did not reveal a trace of emotion, his nose was tall and straight, full of enchantment and coldness, it was Wu Zun Bixuan.
