Qin Xiao naturally knew nothing about what happened in the Black Forest.
He was at the pawn shop at the moment.
After deciding to go to Penglai Island with Suzaku, he couldn't just leave.
According to Zhuque's explanation, Qin Xiao knew that Penglai Island was to the east of Qingzhou, starting from Ninghua Port in the southwest of Liaoning. Even if the journey went smoothly day and night, it would take at least nearly half a month to reach Penglai Island. Just taking a boat back and forth would take a long time.
It will take about a month. In addition, there will be a delay of several days on the way from Guangning to Ninghua Port.
Even if they could land on the island and retrieve or even destroy the books in the library before other forces, the trip would still take more than a month.
According to the current situation, the Liaodong Army is unlikely to pose a threat to western Liaoning.
In fact, after the last battle, Qin Xiao sent people to stay in Zhumapo and expanded the camp to control the Songshui River. On his way back, he took control of two counties in the northwest of Yingping County, and since Song
A line of defense has been formed from Yangmachang to Guangning. In this case, if the Liaodong Army wants to kill Liaoxi, it must first tear apart this line of defense. This can be regarded as adding a protective net around the periphery of Liaoxi.
There is Gu Baiyi in Caochang and Yuwen Chengchao in western Liaoning. They are like two arms of Qin Xiao, forming horns on the left and right. Qin Xiao will naturally not doubt the strength of these two people. With them taking charge of both places, it should be considered foolproof.
On the other hand, the Liaoxi side followed the policy of using grain as a tax credit proposed by Bai Yulou before and implemented it in an orderly manner. Moreover, after careful consideration and final promulgation, this policy indeed received the support and support of many merchants in the customs.
As long as there are no major changes, even if Qin Xiao disappears for a few months, it will not cause much shock to western Liaoning.
Before leaving, Qin Xiao came to the pawn shop specifically. After all, he would be away for at least a month, so Sister Rong naturally had to leave without saying goodbye. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Sister Rong when he came back.
After all, the relationship between the two is no longer an ordinary one. They are actually husband and wife. Farewell is also a sign of respect for Sister Rong.
"Are you going to Penglai Island?" Tang Rong was very surprised and frowned: "Go with Suzaku?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Tantai Xuanye has colluded with Bashan and sent people to assassinate him this time. Apart from this group of people, Bashan has always coveted Tianzhai martial arts. If another person is sent to Penglai Island to snatch martial arts classics, the consequences will be disastrous.
"
Tang Rong's beautiful face was extremely solemn, showing worry. Qin Xiao only thought that Sister Rong was worried about her safety, and said softly: "Good sister, don't worry too much, I know how to protect yourself."
"What are Suzaku going to do with those classics?"
"It's not determined yet." Qin Xiao said: "After all, Dao Zun is a great master, and Tianzhai martial arts is also extraordinary. I heard that the library contains not only Tianzhai martial arts, but also many Dao Zun
Naturally, there are many martial arts treasures among the various classics collected. If they are really burned down in a fire, the martial arts skills created by many martial arts seniors who worked hard will be lost, which is a pity."
Tang Rong nodded slightly and sighed: "That's right. In the library, less than 10% of the martial arts classics that truly belong to Tianzhai are actually less than 10%. The rest are martial arts treasures that Tao Zun and Tianzhai disciples have been searching for for decades." After a pause.
After a moment, he said: "If all the sects in the world know the news of Dao Zun's death, of course there are some who are ambitious and want to rob the island of classics to strengthen their own power, those sects that have been deprived of their own unique skills will definitely go there and take away their own.
Take the martial arts book back."
Qin Xiao sighed: "After Dao Zun died, we rushed back from Kyoto. Because of the Liaodong Army, we couldn't take care of Penglai Island. This time Bashan sent people to chase us, and Zhuque Fairy and I realized the seriousness of the problem.
"It is impossible to determine how many people know the news of Dao Zun's murder." He frowned and said: "On that day, Dao Zun was attacked and killed by Tantai Xuanye. The people of Jian Valley and Bohai Da Posara saw it. In addition, Long Lin
The imperial army entered the palace, and some of them should have seen Tao Zun's body, but those people did not know Tao Zun."
"It is not the most fatal thing if the news spreads." Tang Rong frowned and said: "Even if the various factions in the rivers and lakes know the news of Dao Zun's murder, but they have not seen it with their own eyes, who can be sure? Dao Zun is a great master, and Tianzhai is even more so.
If the largest sect in the world just hears the news but cannot be sure that Dao Zun has truly emerged, those sects will not dare to act rashly. They will worry that if the news is false and Dao Zun is still alive, they will offend Tianzhai.
, will definitely lead to disaster."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and said, "But the Bashan Sword Party is already certain about this."
"This is the most critical problem." Tang Rong said with a bitter smile: "Bashan knows this news. Even if it is confirmed that Dao Zun has become immortal, for their own benefit, they will definitely not spread the news. But they have always been ambitious and have always wanted to
Instead of Tianzhai, if the opportunity is given to them, they will definitely be impatient and seize the classics on the island before others can react. If those classics fall to the top of Bashan, the various factions in the world may not be able to compete with them within a hundred years.
It’s a fight of merit.”
Qin Xiao's face became even more solemn, and Tang Rong continued: "But if other factions get the news, even if they dare not land on the island, they will definitely pay attention to the movements of Penglai Island secretly. If they know that Bashan sent people to the island, it will be like a little
When a spark ignites the firewood pile, more sects will take risks and kill them."
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "Although Bashan is strong, there are many capable people and strangers in various factions. They know the consequences of Bashan taking away those martial arts books, and they will definitely stop the robbery at all costs."
Tang Rong said: "We don't know what the situation is on Penglai Island now. I just hope Bashan doesn't take action yet, otherwise the island will turn into purgatory." At this point, she frowned and held Qin Xiao's hand.
He held his hand and was silent for a while, then said: "Promise me, if the situation on the island changes when you arrive, you will evacuate immediately and don't fight hard. If you get ahead, it's God's blessing."
Already."
Qin Xiao raised his hand to caress Tang Rong's cheek, and said softly: "Don't worry, I know what to do. We won't be apart for too long, at most a month, and I will be back."
"Although Suzaku is allied with you now and has a close relationship, she is a disciple of Tianzhai after all. You have a common enemy, but many of your interests are completely different. You cannot completely trust her, so be more wary of her." Tang Rong.
Youyou said: "You are not alone now. The life and death of many people depend on you. For these people, you can no longer take risks as easily as before."
Qin Xiao only thought she was talking about Long Ruijun, and said with a smile: "I have already made arrangements in the army."
"You...you didn't understand what I meant." Tang Rong bit her lip, suddenly came close to Qin Xiao's ear, and whispered: "In addition to Long Ruijun, there are two other people here who want to
It depends on you to survive."
Qin Xiao was startled and didn't understand. Tang Rong saw that he was dull and glared at him. She leaned close to his ear and whispered softly: "When you go out, not only am I worried, but I... the baby in my belly will also be worried."
Worry."
Qin Xiao's body was shocked, his color changed suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, then he held Tang Rong's catkins with both hands, and said in surprise: "Good sister, you...!" Before she could say anything, Tang Rong had already raised her hand to cover it.
She shut his mouth, looked around, then showed annoyance, and whispered: "You little bastard, you... really killed me."
Qin Xiao was extremely excited at this time. Of course he understood what Tang Rong meant. Sister Rong was actually pregnant with his child.
After careful calculation, I was with Sister Rong before I went to Beijing last time. It was two months later. Sister Rong was naturally pregnant two months ago.
Qin Xiao has been dependent on Old Man Zhong since he was a child. Although he is not lonely, Old Man Zhong and himself are not blood relatives, so he has never truly experienced the feeling of family affection.
Now that Sister Rong actually has her own bloodline, Qin Xiao couldn't control such a surprise. He couldn't help but gently hugged Sister Rong's waist, but he didn't dare to use force, and he was afraid that the sound would be too loud and other people in the pawn shop would know.
, I could only kiss Sister Rong’s forehead and cheeks repeatedly.
"When did you know?" Qin Xiao leaned close to Tang Rong's ear and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Sister Rong whispered: "I didn't notice it before, but...but my menstrual period has been delayed, and I've been feeling a little wrong recently. After I checked myself, I only confirmed it in the past two days."
Qin Xiao knew that Sister Rong was pregnant and wished he could cancel his plan to go to Penglai Island with Zhuque and stay with Sister Rong for a while. However, thinking that the trip to Penglai Island was of great importance, not just for Zhuque, he could only say: "Good sister
, how about I arrange another private place for you and find someone to take good care of you, and you work hard here day and night...!"
"No one knows for the time being." Tang Rong whispered: "They can't tell it now. I'm already making preparations. You can go to Penglai Island first. Don't worry about me. I will make my own arrangements when you come back."
Qin Xiao knew that Tang Rong was extremely intelligent, so since he dared to keep the child, he must have had a plan.
When she told herself this news before she left, she must have reminded herself not to take risks and to protect herself.
"Are you and Suzaku alone?" Sister Rong asked.
Qin Xiao only thought that Sister Rong was jealous, and when he was about to explain, Sister Rong had already shaken her head and said: "Don't worry too much, I don't care about your relationship with her. It's just that even if the Bashan Sword Sect hasn't sent anyone to Penglai Island yet,
There must be many people staying on the island. No one can guarantee whether Suzaku has other thoughts. If you are alone, if something happens, there will be no help." After thinking for a while, he finally said: "If you don't
If you object, I will send you two people."
"Send someone?"
"They are both fourth-level masters." Sister Rong said: "Although their martial arts are not very strong, they are both very smart and know a lot about things in the world. They are also very good at tracking and spying on information.
Top experts. When you arrive at Penglai Island, you don’t have to rush to the island. You can send them to the island first to gather intelligence." He smiled and said: "There is no need to doubt their loyalty. These two are my confidants and are extremely loyal to me. Let them do whatever they want.
You go and you can trust them."
Qin Xiao actually didn't think about bringing anyone with him. After all, in the next two days, he would have to practice with Aunt Ying every day on the way. It would definitely be inconvenient for someone to accompany him.
However, Tang Rong was so concerned. If there were two more people, there would be two more helpers if there was any situation. Moreover, these two people must be top-notch experts in the pawn shop, otherwise Tang Rong would not send them to her. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said: "
In this case, let them go with me."
"You seem to be a little hesitant?" Sister Rong smiled charmingly, leaned into his ear and said, "Are you worried that if they go with you, they will discover your secrets that no one should know? Don't worry, they are very sensible. They shouldn't
You can’t hear what you hear, and you can’t see what you shouldn’t see.”
Qin Xiao felt a little guilty. He always felt that Sister Rong already knew something. He smiled awkwardly. He just thought that Sister Rong had her own flesh and blood, but he was extremely happy in his heart. He thought about settling the matter on Penglai Island as soon as possible and then taking time to accompany her.
