Chapter 74

Chapter 74 Cutting the Trouble with a Quick Sword

In the Tianlong plot, although there is no magical weapon like the Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Knife, it can dominate the martial arts world.

But there are also some peerless magical skills and magical elixirs.

Chen Xuan has the fate of [Heavenly Hate] and has no time to hide in the deep mountains and forests to cultivate his internal strength. However, he happens to have one of the strange medicines in the world.

That is the harmony of yin and yang.

Chen Xuan's heart moved and he called Dao Baifeng.

"You and I have not seen each other for many years. Although you are ruthless to me, I am interested in you. Now that we have met, you might as well have a drink with me."

"No need, I entered Taoism many years ago, fasted from alcohol and meat, and practiced pure cultivation."

"No wonder, when I first met Madam, I thought you were like the Avalokitesvara descending to earth. You are truly immortal and have an excellent temperament."

"..."

Dao Baifeng heard his praise and just ignored it.

Chen Xuan's mind changed. When he saw that inviting her to drink was unsuccessful, he changed his mind and said.

"In that case, let's have some tea and snacks. Your Taoist temple doesn't have meat and wine, so you should have some crude tea and snacks."

When he asked like this, Dao Baifeng naturally couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he had to say.

"If you are hungry, there are some ready-made snacks in my Taoist temple. You can just eat them yourself."

"That's not possible, you have to sit and eat with me."

Dao Baifeng felt helpless and had to go get a few plates of snacks.

She said that she was alone in this Taoist temple with a green lantern and was lonely for the rest of her life, but she was the daughter of the patriarch of the Baiyi tribe after all.

The Baiyi tribe occupies the south of Dali and has tens of thousands of soldiers. It can be said that Dao Baifeng is also the daughter of the Southern Barbarian tribe.

How could she really drink porridge in this Taoist temple every day?

Chen Xuan glanced at the snacks she brought.

Although they are all refreshments such as sweet-scented osmanthus cake, plum cake, and poplar nectar, they are exquisite in style and are obviously carefully made.

It seems that this Dao Baifeng is also a little rich woman. She has been away from Duan Zhengchun for more than ten years and is living quite a leisurely life.

Chen Xuan was a drunkard who didn't care about wine, so he naturally picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and ate it in one bite.

Dao Baifeng frowned slightly when she saw his vulgar behavior, and was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan ate the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in one bite and suddenly coughed "cough, cough, cough".

"Are you okay?"

"Water! Give me water!"

"You are really a person. With such a great style, eating a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake will seem like it will kill you."

Dao Baifeng smiled helplessly, stood up and poured Chen Xuan a cup of tea.

But after she got up, Chen Xuan suddenly had a look in his eyes, and a small paper bag came out of his sleeve, and it slipped into his palm.

With a little luck from Chen Xuan, the small paper bag was blown open, and a puff of medicinal powder fell on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The sweet-scented osmanthus cake is originally white, but if you don't look carefully, you can't really tell if the medicinal powder is sprinkled on it.

Dao Baifeng poured him a cup of tea, but when he turned around, he found that Chen Xuan had stopped coughing and said doubtfully.

"Are you okay?"

"Made madam laugh."

Chen Xuan smiled awkwardly, took the tea cup and took a sip, deliberately making conversation.

"This osmanthus cake is not steamed, and some of the glutinous rice flour is still raw."

"How is this possible? These pastries are all made by time-honored brands in Dali City. How could there be such half-cooked pastries?"

Dao Baifeng was indeed led over.

Chen Xuan picked up the cake sprinkled with medicinal powder.

"Try what this pastry tastes like."

Dao Baifeng did not doubt that he was there and took a small bite. Unexpectedly, he felt that there was some powder on it.

She said she was suspicious, but Chen Xuan encouraged her from the side.

"You try again."

She took two more bites in confusion, then pursed her lips, feeling something was wrong.

Chen Xuan saw this and sneered secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth.

"What's the matter? It's true that you're not familiar with it, right?"

"This...this is really a joke. I never thought that I, Dao Baifeng, would serve guests with such cakes. It is really disrespectful."

"It's okay. Madam, you can entertain me the same way you did under the bodhi tree later. That means the etiquette is in place."

As soon as Chen Xuan said these words, Dao Bai Feng Liu frowned, naturally angry and angry.

But as a joke, he suddenly mentioned this matter, which made Dao Baifeng recall the situation back then and made her body feel hot for a moment.

Without waiting for her to think carefully about what was wrong.

Just listen to what Chen Xuan said.

"Do you know who I am?"

"...Why should I know who you are?"

"I think the princess should know who I am."

Chen Xuan's words seemed to be talking in a riddle, going around and around.

Dao Baifeng's face turned cold.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Chen Xuan smiled confidently.

"Does the princess really not know or is she pretending not to know?"

The reason why Chen Xuan insisted on asking questions was naturally because he believed that Dao Baifeng had recognized him.

Dao Baifeng might even have recognized him as the Prince of Yanqing as early as outside Tianlong Temple.

At that time, Duan Siping, then the military governor of Tonghai, defeated Yang Guozhen with the help of the 37 Wuman tribes in eastern Yunnan, proclaimed himself king, and changed the country's name to Dali.

From then on, the Duan family and the Yang family had a bloody feud.

The Yang family, like the Murong family in Gusu, began to aspire to restore the country.

In Duan Yanqing's father's generation, Yang Yunxian, a descendant of the Yang family, rebelled.

The powerful ministers of the Dali Kingdom, Gao Jia, Gao Zhisheng, sent troops to quell the chaos.

Later, Yang Yunxian's son Yang Yizhen launched another rebellion, killed Duan Lianyi, the twelfth king of Dali, and proclaimed himself king, replacing De'an with the title "Emperor Guang'an".

Duan Yanqing was the son of the twelfth generation emperor Duan Lianyi, and was the Prince Yanqing of Dali Kingdom at that time.

Duan Lianyi was killed by Yang Yizhen's rebels, and Duan Yanqing escaped from the palace in the chaos.

At this time, Dali was controlled by Yang Yizhen. Duan Yanqing saw that he could not settle down in Dali. In order to restore the country and regain the throne in the future, he fled to the Song Dynasty and lived in seclusion to practice martial arts.

Unexpectedly, just four months after he escaped from Dali, the prime minister Gao Zhilian at the time ordered his son Gao Shengtai to lead the Wuman Army in Eastern Yunnan to raise troops and kill Yang Yizhen.

Later, with the support of the Gao family, Duan Shouhui, Duan Yanqing's father's nephew and brother, was appointed emperor of Dali.

Later, Duan Shouhui gave the Zen throne to Duan Zhengchun's brother, Duan Zhengming.

He is the current Emperor Baoding of Dali.

And on the other side.

Duan Yanqing, who had fled to the Song Dynasty for nearly two years, devoted himself to practicing the ancestral martial arts of the Duan family in Dali, and soon returned after mastering it.

At this time, Duan Yanqing's martial arts was so powerful that he was already among the best in the world.

However, he was alone and weak.

When he rode quickly to Huguang Road, he was suddenly intercepted and killed by a strong enemy.

These people were all well-trained killers, and were later rumored to be the remnants of Yang Yizhen's rebels.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the appearance of these people is unreasonable.

After all, the Yang family's rebels had been wiped out two years ago, not to mention that the then emperor of Dali had been succeeded by Duan Zhengming.

Duan Yanqing has long since become an irrelevant prince of the former dynasty.

If the rebels really wanted to ambush, they should have ambushed Duan Zhengming or Duan Zhengchun.

How could he be intercepted and killed by the rebels of the previous dynasty?
