He is a man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat on his head. There is a green sword at his waist. His face is covered with a scarf, so his true appearance cannot be seen clearly.
Qi Zhen was sitting in the stone pavilion drinking tea. He was not surprised at all by this man's arrival. He still drank the tea in the cup before asking: "What are you doing here?"
The man in black robe and bamboo hat sat opposite Qi Zhen, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "I came here to learn from you. I would like to ask Qi the Great Swordsman his thoughts on fighting Li Xiao."
What came out from under the bamboo hat was a woman's voice.
Qi Zhen was unmoved and said expressionlessly: "If you are here to make fun of me, then you can leave."
The woman in black robe laughed loudly and said: "The majestic Lord of Yunmeng City, the third swordsman in the world, facing someone you have never heard of before, you dare not even draw your sword, you are really embarrassed."
Qi Zhen ignored her sarcasm, instead a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Li Meng, you think too highly of yourself. Li Xiao doesn't care about the grudge between you and Li Xiao at all. It's just you who bothers you."
.”
This woman Qi Zhen is not familiar with her, but she has heard about her.
Li Xiao was adopted by his master and was named by his master. His master had a biological daughter who ran away in anger because his master valued Li Xiao more, and she was at odds with Li Xiao.
When Li Xiao accidentally killed his master, it may not have been because of this woman's behind-the-scenes operation.
Li Xiao's nominal junior sister is Li Meng who is standing in front of Qi Zhen now.
Li Meng snorted coldly and said: "You don't dare to draw a sword, how dare you blame me?"
Qi Zhen responded tit for tat and said, "You can survive Li Xiao's sword before we talk."
Li Meng's eyes were cold and he said nothing.
Qi Zhen stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't come with you."
Li Meng also stood up and said: "You really don't plan to join forces with me? If you can kill Li Xiao, you will not only regain your face, but your reputation will be much greater than it is now. Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?"
Qi Zhen sarcastically said: "If you hadn't hired people to spread the news about my defeat at the hands of Li Xiaojian, how could I have lost face? I haven't settled this debt with you yet, before I even want to take action against a woman.
, I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
Li Meng clenched her fists. She wanted to punch Qi Zhen's head to pieces, but she could only hold back. Even though Qi Zhen didn't even dare to draw his sword in front of Li Xiao, he was still the third person in the world.
It's not a wasted reputation.
Qi Zhen quickly left Shiting. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Don't think that you are doing these things very secretly. Li Xiao's mind is not inferior to his swordsmanship. He has long known that you are causing trouble."
, otherwise with his ability, he would have killed you with one sword, instead of just stabbing you in the arm. He didn't kill you, probably because he was afraid of getting his sword dirty."
After speaking, Qi Zhen glanced at the wound on Li Meng's left arm and left without looking back.
Li Meng stared at Qi Zhen's retreating back, his eyes dim and unreadable.
…
Jinpanguo, Kyoto.
The city towers in the capital of Jinpan Kingdom are magnificently built. At a glance, they are all blue brick walls, white jade steps, and glazed tiles. There is a tower for every fifty steps, and a guard for every ten steps.
The capital of Jinpan Kingdom is particularly lively now.
Those who enter and leave the city gate are all "gods on the mountain" and wealthy people from the world who are rarely seen in ordinary times.
There is a handsome young man in white clothes, a sturdy man with a bold sword, and even a mountain fairy with an unworldly temperament.
The fact that so many people can gather in the capital city of a small country is all thanks to the blessed land of Yuchikou not far from the capital city.
In three days' time, Yuchikou Blessed Land will be opened to the public.
Outside the city gate, a middle-aged man in black robe strode with a sword hanging from his waist, followed by a young man in white with two swords on his back.
It was Li Xiao and Shi Yu who came from Kunshi Town at the southernmost tip of Jinpan Kingdom.
"The Jinpan Kingdom is not a big country, but the capital city is quite impressive." Shi Yu stopped in front of the city gate and squinted at the tower.
"The style is impressive, but I don't know if it's just a showman or not, and whether it can withstand my sword." Li Xiao disagreed and walked leisurely into the city.
Shi Yu quickly followed.
Entering the city, it was a different scene.
There are groups of vendors on the street. Unlike other towns, there are not many vendors here selling silks and snacks. Instead, most of them sell precious armors, swords, secret books and talismans.
Shi Yu stopped in front of a talisman stall, picked up one and looked at it. He had heard of talismans when he was at Jiujianmen, which is a mysterious and mysterious knowledge in Taoism. But at this time, looking at the crooked runes on it, he
I can't see why.
"Your Majesty, you really have a good eye. The talisman you have in your hand is a high-grade talisman recorded in the 'Hundred Talisman Scripture'. It is called the 'Wind Control Talisman'. If you stick it on the sole of your feet, you can travel in the wind. It is really a good choice when you go out for a long distance."
It's a must-have item for traveling." The stall owner immediately smiled brightly and pointed at the talisman to introduce its function to Shi Yu. He was very attentive.
Shi Yu looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao took a sip of wine and disapproved of it. To him, a talisman of this quality was like tasteless.
Shi Yu asked the stall owner: "How to sell?"
The stall owner spread his hands on both sides of the door and said: "Ten taels of silver, a child and an old man can't be deceived!"
Shi Yu sneered and calmly put the talisman back to its place. Without looking at the stall owner, he stood up and left.
The voice of the stall owner came from behind: "Sir, if you sincerely want it, you can get it cheaper..."
Shi Yu didn't look back.
Just as Shi Yu and Li Xiao were wandering around on the street, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded on the street.
The crowd suddenly became panicked.
Li Xiao took Shi Yu's arm and moved aside.
Not far away, I saw smoke and dust billowing, and a woman with a sword and her followers galloping on horseback.
Pedestrians on the street scattered to both sides, and those who did not dodge in a hurry were knocked to the ground.
Not far away, there was an old lady with limited mobility, leaning on a cane, walking slowly forward with her back to the horseman, seemingly unaware of anything strange around her.
Soon all the pedestrians on the street were leaning to both sides, and by the time the old lady noticed something strange, it was too late.
The woman with the sword's horse was less than ten steps away from the old lady, and the arrogant and domineering woman had no intention of reining in the horse.
The old lady was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground.
Shi Yu was about to take action, but someone beat him to it.
A young Taoist priest wearing a gray robe appeared out of thin air and stood between the two. His arms were stretched out, his robe moved automatically without wind, and his sleeves were bulging, as if there were heaven and earth.
Not only did the woman with the sword not hold back, she even grinned. She whipped the horse on its back. In her eyes, this ungrateful Taoist priest was already the flesh under her horse's hoofs.
Soon, she stopped laughing.
The Taoist priest put his palm on the horse's face and pressed it lightly.
But it was this light palm that knocked the horse to the ground, and he knelt in front of the Taoist priest. His knees were broken. But the Taoist priest didn't move at all.
The woman with the sword was brought out by inertia, brushed past the Taoist priest's body, and rolled twice on the ground before she stabilized her body.
She stood up, drew her sword and pointed it at the Taoist priest, shouting: "Niubi, are you looking for death?"
Her followers surrounded the young Taoist.
"There is nothing visible." Li Xiao shook his head and sighed. In his eyes, the woman with the sword was already dead.
Sure enough, the Taoist priest came to the woman in an instant, grabbed her neck with one hand, and pulled her up from the ground.
"You are arrogant and domineering, and you treat human life like a piece of grass. How do you deserve to live in this world?" The young Taoist priest's eyes were like torches and his voice was like a bell. Each word struck the heart of the woman wearing a sword.
The woman with the sword turned red, but could not say anything.
The attendant on the side became anxious and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop it! She is the third princess most loved by the current emperor!"
Everyone knows that the third princess of Jinpan Kingdom is the emperor's most beloved daughter. The emperor's doting has made her develop an arrogant and domineering temperament, and she has regarded human life as nothing since she was a child.
The young Taoist priest had a sarcastic look on his face, looked at his attendants, and asked, "So what?"
As he spoke, he increased the strength on his hands. The third princess of Jinpan Kingdom wailed in pain.
The servant's face was gloomy and he shouted sternly: "Do you want to make an enemy of our country, Jin Pan?"
The young Taoist sneered and said, "You think I don't dare? You're just a bitch from Daxia, you think I'm afraid? I want to ask you, the emperor, why have you become so courageous after I've been away all these years?"
After saying that, he picked up the three princesses of Jinpan Kingdom and stood up from the ground, riding the wind towards the imperial city of Jinpan Kingdom.
On the street, the old lady had not yet come to her senses. The third princess's retinue ignored the old lady and hurriedly mounted their horses and chased towards the imperial city.
Li Xiao patted Shi Yu on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and show you the fun."
Shi Yu nodded, and Li Xiao grabbed his collar with one hand, jumped onto the tower, stepped on the eaves and ran towards the imperial city.
Li Xiao and Shi Yu stopped on a high eaves.
Shi Yu said: "For an old lady, the Taoist priest rushed into the palace. It's a bit unreasonable."
Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "How can there be any sense in what people on the mountain do? And if I guessed correctly, this person should be an expert from Wudang Mountain. Wudang Mountain has a very deep connection with the royal family of Jinpan Kingdom. I'm afraid
It’s not just for an old lady.”
Shi Yu scratched his head and stopped talking. The grudges and hatreds in this world were not something that his little mind could understand.
In the palace.
The young gray-robed Taoist priest came through the air and struck down with his palm.
The sword array built by the Jinpan Kingdom royal family with a lot of money opened on its own, and a long sword made of sword energy rose into the sky and flew towards the young Taoist priest like raindrops.
The big sleeve of the gray robe was waved and then struck down with a palm.
The applause was so huge that waves appeared out of thin air.
There was a loud bang in the palace, deafening. It was actually a palm that broke through the sword formation that Jin Panguo had spent hundreds of years building.
Panic suddenly fell into the palace, and the eunuchs and maids were in chaos.
"Zhao Zhibing, come out and see me!"
A loud roar resounded in the imperial city.
People in the palace looked up one after another, trying to see clearly who was calling His Majesty the Emperor by his first name.
Soon, an old man wearing a Confucian shirt appeared on the roof. However, he was not the emperor of Jin Panguo, but the most respected prime minister of the emperor.
The old man in Confucian shirt put one hand behind his back and stroked his beard with the other, turning a blind eye to the tragedy in the palace. He looked at the young Taoist with a smile and said, "Senior Wang Mian, long time no see."
