Tantai Xuanye obviously did not understand what Qin Xiao meant, and frowned: "What are you talking about?"
"In this attack on Xuzhou, if you capture the city of Xuzhou and the princess and I fall into your hands, what will you do?" Qin Xiao did not explain much and asked: "How will you treat the princess?"
Tantai Xuanye smiled and said: "Of course I will kill you first."
"This is to be expected."
"In fact, there is no deep hatred between you and me." Tantai Xuanye said: "I will kill you not for personal reasons, but because your existence is the biggest thorn in my road and must be eradicated."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "You mean I will stop you from taking control of the power?"
"The Tang Dynasty is terminally ill. Someone needs to stand up and revive the Tang Dynasty." Tantai Xuanye said: "You are a stumbling block and must die. This is not the only reason. The other reason is that only by killing you can Xiahou think that I am
I have been threatened by her and obeyed her."
"oh?"
"But I won't hurt She Yue." Tantai Xuanye sighed: "Actually, from the beginning, I never thought of hurting her. I may take advantage of her status as a princess, but I won't hurt her at all."
"So if you win, you will take her back to Kyoto and continue to implement your plan?"
Tantai Xuanye nodded and said: "Yes. I will still marry her, and people in the world will still think that the child is the blood of the princess." At this point, he seemed to have no interest in talking more, and said lightly: "That's all, let's talk about this.
It's useless, Qin Xiao, you are the winner of this game, I only ask you one thing."
"you say."
"Support the princess to ascend the throne." Tantai Xuanye looked directly at Qin Xiao: "Let the Tang Dynasty be glorious again."
Qin Xiao
Said: "Are these your last words?"
"I don't have to worry about having green hills and firewood. Although I really want to live, I think there is no way to escape from the hands of the three great heavens." Tantai Xuanye was very honest: "I don't want to die in the hands of a woman.
!”
Qin Xiao glanced at the spirit tablet and asked, "You really don't want to salute the Taoist?"
"This person is not worthy." Tantai Xuanye showed an expression of contempt and said lightly: "Qin Xiao, do you think that all great masters are worthy of awe? If you think so, it is a big mistake. Hong Tianji has a great master
level, and his prestige is unparalleled in the world. If such a person could stand up when the Tang Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, he would definitely be able to help the country. But when the country was in crisis, he had no intention of saving the people, and only wanted to bring peace to the world.
People respect his Tianzhai Taoist sect, how can such a person be worthy of respect? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Even ordinary people know how to serve the country, but a great master of a generation only cares about his own self-interest. Such a person's cultivation is not easy.
No matter how high you are, what good will it do to the world?" He raised his hand and pointed at the spiritual tablet and said: "Although I am not as advanced as him, I did not shrink back when the country was in danger. No matter what I did was right or wrong, I was still better than him.
If he is a thousand times stronger, how can he stand my kneeling down?"
Qin Xiao lowered his head, thoughtfully.
After a while, Qin Xiao raised his head and asked: "Are you willing to follow me back to Xuzhou City and let the princess handle it?"
Tantai Xuanye was sitting on the chair, his body straight like a javelin.
He looked straight at Qin Xiao with his eyes, his body motionless, like a statue.
But Qin Xiao discovered that Tantai Xuanye’s eyes
There was no sparkle in his eyes, and they were extremely dim.
His heart skipped a beat and he stood up abruptly.
Soon, his expression became serious.
At this time, he could no longer feel the slightest breath of Tantai Xuanye.
"Tantai Xuanye!" Qin Xiao called softly.
Tantai Xuanye still looked straight forward, with his hands on his legs.
Outside the door of the wild shop, Zhuque and the young auntie had actually been paying attention to what was going on inside. Qin Xiao and Tantai Xuanye didn't speak loudly, so others might not hear them clearly, but both of them could understand them.
At this moment, she heard something wrong with Qin Xiao's voice. The young lady twisted her waist and rushed in first. Seeing this, Suzaku also rushed in quickly.
Qin Xiao was seen standing in front of Tantai Xuanye, while Tantai Xuanye remained seated, as motionless as a statue, but blood was already spilling from the corner of Tantai Xuanye's mouth.
"He himself broke his heart." Qin Xiao sighed: "He is dead!"
The young aunt and Suzaku looked at each other, neither of them expected that Tantai Xuanye would die like this.
"Isn't it cheating to die?" the young aunt frowned.
Suzaku didn't waste any time. He raised his right hand and struck out three cold stars. They all hit Tantai Xuanye's vital points, one on his heart, one on his throat, and one between his eyebrows.
Not to mention that Tantai Xuanye had committed suicide. Even if he was alive, he would have no chance of surviving if he was hit by these three hidden weapons.
Seeing that Tantai Xuanye was motionless, as expected, Zhuque turned around, knelt down facing the Taoist Spirit Tablet, and said respectfully: "Master, Tantai Xuanye is dead, and the great revenge will be avenged, you can do it under the spring
Rest in peace!"
"He committed suicide, but you didn't kill him." The young aunt couldn't help but ridiculed: "What kind of revenge is there? You are deceiving yourself.
"
"What did you say?" Suzaku turned his head, quite annoyed.
When Qin Xiao saw that something was wrong, he was afraid that the two of them would fight, so he said to his junior sister-in-law: "Stop saying a few words."
The young aunt rolled her eyes, glanced upward, and said, "I'm not wrong, why are you so anxious?"
"Come here!" Qin Xiao called for someone immediately. When a cavalry came in, Qin Xiao pointed at Tantai Xuanye's body and said, "Have someone take care of this body and take it back to Xuzhou City."
The cavalryman immediately called several companions and carried Tantai Xuanye's body down.
Although Tantai Xuanye died, Qin Xiao did not feel happy.
"You two, let's go too." Qin Xiao said: "Go back to Xuzhou City first."
Zhuque shook his head and said, "We won't go to Xuzhou City with you."
"Why?" Qin Xiao was startled, "Where are you going?"
"Kyoto!"
"Going to Kyoto?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised.
Suzaku said quietly: "Master's body is still in Kyoto. We want to retrieve Master's remains."
Qin Xiao immediately thought of the bloody battle in the Zihuan Hall in the palace. Wei Wuya tried his best to open the gap and everyone escaped with their lives.
At that time, Suzaku took Taoist Master's body away.
However, Suzaku later encountered the Imperial Guards, was injured by an arrow, and could no longer protect the body. Dao Zun's body eventually fell into the hands of the Imperial Guards.
Qin Xiao never cared about how the body was disposed of in the end, but the people of Dongji Tianzhai regarded Dao Zun as a god. After Dao Zun died, Suzaku and other Tianzhai disciples not only wanted to avenge Dao Zun, but also naturally wanted to find Dao Zun.
The remains were brought back to Penglai Island.
In the past, there were two great masters, Wei Wuya and Yuan Fengying, in the palace, as well as Tantai Xuanye leading the Dragon Scale Forbidden Army to guard them. It was extremely dangerous to sneak into the palace.
But now that two of these three masters are dead and one has left, the defense in the palace is no longer the same as before.
With Suzaku's cultivation, if he sneaks into the palace again now, his situation will be much better.
It’s just that more than half a year has passed. It’s really hard to say where Dao Zun’s body is now and whether it still exists.
Xiahou naturally hates Dao Zun deeply, and Tantai Xuanye obviously doesn't have a good impression of Dao Zun. He will definitely dispose of Dao Zun's body afterwards, but how to dispose of it is hard to know. Maybe there are no bones left to be disposed of.
Very possible.
But of course it's not easy to say this to Suzaku.
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said to Mu Yeji: "Little aunt, you take them back to Xuzhou City first, and I will catch up later."
"Did you send me away? Do you have something to say to her?" Junior Sister-in-law had a disagreement with Zhuque before, and now she and Qin Xiao are already a couple. Seeing that Qin Xiao wanted to stay and talk to Zhuque alone, she was naturally upset.
Jealous: "Is there anything shameful you can't say that I can't say?"
Suzaku frowned, and Qin Xiao felt helpless, so he could only say: "I and Immortal Suzaku want to talk about Dao Zun, you go first."
The junior aunt glared at Qin Xiao, but after all, she was not a nagging character. She just said, "Hurry up!" She twisted around and walked out the door.
"It seems you can't conquer her." Zhuque said.
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "I have never thought about surrendering anyone. Aunt Yingying, after defeating the Shence Army, all the states in the world will soon respond to the princess. If nothing else happens, the princess' next step will definitely be to march to Kyoto.
The current situation in Kyoto must be very complicated. You might as well wait a little longer and then go north with the army. Then
It’s time to look for Tao Zun’s remains.”
"It's hard to predict when we will march." Suzaku shook his head and said, "And this is Tianzhai's own business. There is no need to rely on others."
Qin Xiaodao: "When Dao Zun's remains fell into the hands of the Forbidden Army, none of us know how they were dealt with it later. Only Xiahou and Tantai Xuanye know. Tantai Xuanye is dead. Maybe there are people who know Dao Zun's remains.
Only Xiahou. If you want to bring Dao Zun's remains back to Penglai Island, you must know the whereabouts of the remains." After a pause, he said: "Do you want to enter the palace to question Xia Hou and ask her to tell the whereabouts of Dao Zun's remains?
?”
"If you have to do this to find the master's remains, then you can only do this." Suzaku said firmly.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. I know that Aunt Ying's cultivation is already at the Great Heaven Realm. It is not difficult to enter and leave the palace, but it is not easy to get close to Xiahou or even capture her. Xiahou is a cunning person.
She has many enemies, so she cannot care less about her own safety. Although Wei Wuya is gone, there must be other masters around her. It is said that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, Aunt Ying, once you are trapped in a tight siege, what will happen?
It must be extremely dangerous." Glancing at the gate, he saw that the cavalry under his command had begun to leave under the leadership of the young master's aunt, but more than a dozen Tianzhai disciples were guarding outside, and no one dared to come in.
The door of the wild store was destroyed, and the inside could be seen directly from the outside. He raised his hand and gently held Suzaku's arm. Seeing that Suzaku was pulled to the corner so that no one could see him, he whispered: "I don't agree with you taking risks.
Absolutely not."
Suzaku heard the concern in his tone, and his heart warmed, but he didn't
Without revealing anything, he looked calm and said softly: "You don't have to worry, I will act according to the circumstances. Tianzhai needs to be revived. Although my life is not important, I will not give it up easily."
"No!" Qin Xiao held Suzaku in his arms, "Stop this idea and come to Beijing with me when the time comes. I promise to work with you to find the remains of the Taoist Master."
He suddenly hugged Zhuque, which would have been impossible for anyone else, but Zhuque was unprepared for him, and was caught off guard by him in his arms. He wanted to break away, but Qin Xiao hugged him tightly, and Zhuque slightly
He struggled for a while, but now being held by Qin Xiao's strong arms, he felt a sense of security and whispered: "Let go first, there is someone outside, it's not good to be seen!"
