A cold light flashed in the saint's eyes, and Wei Wuya had already whispered: "The old slave estimated at that time that the Queen Mother would cause trouble in the south of the Yangtze River and kidnap the princess. She probably wanted to lure the old slave out of the palace and take advantage of the opportunity.
.They failed, but the possibility remains."
"Do you think they will take advantage of you while you are heading outside the customs?"
"Old slave has this worry." Wei Wuya whispered: "If they get the news that Lao slave has left the palace, Lao slave will be very worried about the safety of the saint."
The saint sneered and said: "It seems that there are really not a few people in the world who want to take my life." He sighed and said: "Except for you, there is no one else around me who can kill the Sword Valley rebels.
Although...!" He shook his head and said: "Even if I come forward in person, he will not help me in this matter. I have actually considered that once you leave the palace, the defense in the palace will be much weaker, but there are
Since he is in the palace, my safety should not be a big problem."
Wei Wuya said: "If he stayed by the saint's side day and night, the old slave would be relieved, but he has been hiding in Yutiantai for so many years. Even if the saint wanted to summon him, he could only go to Yutiantai to see him. The old slave was worried that he would not be able to see him.
I will stay by the saint's side day and night."
"Don't worry, I don't need to go to him. As long as he knows you are leaving, he will protect me secretly." A confident smile appeared on the corner of the saint's lips: "It's just that if you want to leave the palace, besides me and him, there will be no one else.
Never let a third party know."
Wei Wuya pondered for a moment, and finally said: "The old slave is brave, and I beg the saint to think again. After the Bohai Mission leaves the capital, if the saint still decides to let the old slave go outside the customs, the old slave must obey the order."
The saint nodded slightly and said, "I'll think about it again and see what tricks Yuan Gai Wushuang can do first."
The moon is high in the sky, but Qin Xiao is alone tonight.
Last night, he barely nourished Qiuniang, but he did not indulge. After all, Yuan Gai Wushuang's arena was over there. Although he had not made the final decision to go on stage, if no one could defeat Yuan Gai Wushuang in the end, he
You always have to take the stage and give it a try, otherwise you will not be able to accept it no matter what, watching She Yue being taken away by the Bohai Mission.
During the day, he disguised himself and mingled with the crowd, and saw with his own eyes that Yuan Gai Wushuang defeated eleven people in a row. Eleven young heroes came on stage with enthusiasm, but they all ended up miserably. They were either missing arms or legs, and their futures were ruined.
Yuan Gai Wushuang's sword skills are indeed amazing and his moves are weird. If it were two years ago, Qin Xiao would have been amazed and would have thought that Yuan Gai Wushuang's sword skills were superb.
However, he was personally taught by the Blood Demon Ancestor, who is known as the Sword Demon and the best swordsman in the world. Although Qin Xiao's sword skills are far from comparable to the Blood Demon, he is the only descendant in the world who has been personally taught by the Blood Demon.
I have understood the essence of the Blood Demon Sword Technique, but what is lacking is that my cultivation has not reached a certain level. Some of the too transcendent sword techniques cannot be deeply understood. Even once the Blood Demon Sword Technique is performed, sometimes I cannot master the heat.
, can't control the sense of proportion.
Therefore, in his eyes, although Yuan Gai Wushuang's sword skills were not weak, they did not make Qin Xiao feel that much of a threat.
If we only look at Yuan Gai Wushuang's strength today, Qin Xiao is confident that he is fully capable of competing with him, but he knows very well that although the young men on stage today are already outstanding among the young men, they are not as good at martial arts training.
Because they are actually not very high, and the heat is not yet there, it is impossible to force Yuan Gai Wushuang to go all out. Yuan Gai Wushuang is obviously very relaxed against these people. Not to mention going all out, I am afraid that he has not even shown 50% of his strength.
.
Qin Xiao knew that once Yuan Gai Wushuang went all out, his strength would be extraordinary. It was still unknown whether he could really defeat this person.
He did not sleep with Qiuniang tonight. He only made an excuse that there was a lot of official business to be done in Dali Temple and he needed to stay up late to deal with it in the study. Naturally, Qiuniang didn't know that Qin Xiao just wanted to sharpen his sword before the battle. Her husband had official business to deal with. That was natural.
She gave her full support. Not only did she make tea for Qin Xiao, but she also prepared snacks. She was worried that Qin Xiao would be hungry while working at night.
Qin Xiao felt warm in his heart. When Qiuniang left, he closed the door, sat cross-legged, and practiced the "Ancient Intention and Qi Jue".
He is now at the fourth level, and he knows that if he can enter the fifth level, he will be very confident in dealing with Yuan Gai Wushuang. However, many people may not be able to break through from the fourth level to the fifth level in ten years, and Hong Ye has also explained before.
, when practicing [Ancient Yiqi Jue], you must be pure of heart and have few desires, and never be eager for quick success. If you have the idea of advancing early in your heart, it will be very harmful to your practice. Therefore, when Qin Xiao practices, he clears everything from his mind.
Remove distracting thoughts and completely immerse yourself in a peaceful world.
Time passed, and he didn't know how long it had passed. Qin Xiao suddenly felt a very even breathing sound not far away. He felt a chill in his heart. He held his breath, then opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the breathing sound.
It fell on the study window.
Under the bright moon, a figure suddenly appeared on the window paper. It was clear that someone was standing outside the window.
With his level of cultivation, it was actually not a strange thing to be able to detect the sound of breathing nearby, but it must be extremely strange for a figure to suddenly appear outside the window in the middle of the night.
He reached out to grab the imperial-gifted Golden Crow Sword in his hand, knowing very well that it was definitely not Qiuniang outside the window. He was practicing in the study tonight and told Qiuniang to rest early. At this time, Qiuniang must have fallen asleep, even if it was true.
It's impossible to come here and stand outside the window.
Of course, it is even less likely that other people in the house would be hiding outside the window in the middle of the night, and Qin Xiao could tell from the sound of the other person's breathing that his cultivation level was certainly not weak. Ordinary people would not have such a balanced breath if they breathed heavily.
In the entire Shaoqing Mansion, the only person with such strength is Lu Xiaolou.
But what was Lu Xiaolou doing hiding outside the window in the middle of the night?
He didn't speak, and the person outside the window had no intention of leaving. His figure kept reflecting on the window paper. After a while, Qin Xiao finally said: "There are snacks here. If you really want to come in and sit, there is no need to stand outside all the time.
"
He held the Golden Crow Sword tightly, but he heard a sigh from outside, and a voice murmured: "I'm a little disappointed. I thought you could still hold on for a stick of incense. Young man... After all, Shen Bu
Stay angry."
Qin Xiao was a little surprised, but he heard the man say: "I won't go in, come out and talk."
Qin Xiao was even more confused. He stood up, but did not put down the Golden Crow Sword. At this time, he found that the man had left the window, walked to the window, opened the window, and saw a man standing in the courtyard, under the moonlight.
I saw that the man was wearing a gray gown, his long hair was tied up with a thin rope, and his back was facing the window. Qin Xiao thought for a moment, climbed out of the window, and was on full alert.
The man in gray shirt turned around, and by the moonlight, Qin Xiao saw that he was nearly forty years old, with unkempt beard, unshaven appearance, and unattractive appearance, but his eyebrows were very thick, which he had never seen before.
He was looking at the man in gray shirt, and the man in gray shirt was also looking at him up and down. Both sides were observing each other like they were inspecting goods.
"Put that knife back first. You won't need it tonight." The man in gray shirt said calmly: "I won't teach you any knife skills."
"Teach me sword skills?" Qin Xiao was even more puzzled and asked: "Who is your master? Do we know each other?"
"Are you Qin Xiao?"
"Yes!" Qin Xiao nodded.
"That's right." The man in gray shirt said, "Just call me...Second Master!"
Qin Xiao almost laughed out loud, thinking that a stranger came to his home in the middle of the night, and he was practicing in the house. The stranger had been hiding outside the window for a long time, and now he opened his mouth and asked himself to call him "Second Master". Seriously?
Incredulous, he laughed and said: "I don't even know your surname, so I called you Second Master in a daze. You are making a big joke."
The man in gray shirt lowered his head, thought about it seriously, and said, "You are right. You should not call me Second Master. You should also call me Second Sir."
"Mr. Second?" Qin Xiao felt that this man was a little funny, but still asked: "Where are you from? Why did you come to me? I don't know any of this. It really doesn't matter how I call you."
The man in gray shirt asked: "That Bohai man set up a competition, aren't you ready to go on stage to compete?"
Qin Xiao was startled, and the man in gray shirt continued: "With your current strength, you are no match for him. His sword skills are not terrible, but he has probably practiced the dragon's back armor and is protected by the dragon's back armor.
Even if you are better than him in martial arts, you can't do anything to him." He added: "Of course, with your current strength, it is impossible to defeat him."
"Wait a minute." Qin Xiao said immediately: "Dragon back armor? What does that mean?"
"His martial arts came from Blackwater Island, and Dragon Back Armor is a unique skill on Blackwater Island." The man in gray shirt explained patiently: "At his current age, in addition to the Demon Fox Sword Technique and Dragon Back Armor, Blackwater
It is impossible for him to master the other secret skills of the island. It is not important to crack his Demon Fox Sword Technique, the important thing is to break his dragon back armor. Once the dragon back armor is broken, he will be your defeat."
"Blackwater Island? Demonic Fox Sword Technique? Dragon Back Armor?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but raise his head and touch his head, extremely surprised: "How do you know Yuan Gai Wushuang so well? Where is Blackwater Island? Who has that Demonic Fox Sword Technique?
What did you say?"
The man in gray shirt looked at Qin Xiao and said: "The arena only lasts for three days. One day has passed, and there are only two days left. To break the dragon's back armor, ordinary people don't have a few months. This is simply wishful thinking. Listen,
You are said to be very smart, but even if you are extremely smart, two days are still very tight for you. If you waste time on things you don’t need to know, your chances of winning will only get lower and lower." He looked serious and serious.
Asked: "Shall we practice next or continue talking nonsense?"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but pinch his arm. It was very painful. It was obvious that he was not dreaming, but what happened in front of him was too bizarre.
