Qin Fan and others are in an inn, waiting for the arrival of [Demon King] and Black Thirteen.
After [Demon King] inexplicably discovered that he had completed half of the task, he already felt that there must be something fishy, and the fact that there was only one woman left in the Xie family became even more suspicious, so he decisively reported the matter.
Qin Fan, who immediately knew what had happened, asked Black Thirteen to bring him to this small town.
Because it was impossible to judge the true identity of that woman just by relying on the clumsy dictation of [Demon King].
After all, women in this world have two eyes, two ears, one mouth, and one nose.
Oh, by the way, I would also like to add that he is very good-looking, but also very cold.
Therefore, only by letting [Demon King of Confusion] come in person can his appearance be recreated by other means.
At the same time, the strange situation in the Xie family's territory also triggered many assumptions by Qin Fan and Yu Cangmiao.
"Isn't he coming?" Yu Cangmiao twisted the white piece in her hand and dropped it into a corner of the chessboard.
Qin Fan held Heizi in his hand, rubbed it gently with two fingers and said:
"He has understood that strength is the most important thing at the moment, and is now in a hurry to retreat and digest the energy in Long Yuan. Besides, with you and me here, one more of him is not much."
The two of them were talking about Li Shizhou. After reading the novel "Wind and Cloud" given by Qin Fan, he decided not to focus on intrigues and plots, but to focus on cultivation.
A message was also sent to Di Feijing in Zhongxuan Prefecture, asking him to formally request help from Emperor Xuan in his own name.
It was obvious that he had listened to what Qin Fan said before. This kind of compromise was undoubtedly to give up the leadership of the war in the entire northwest state capital.
This also greatly relieved the pressure on one's own side, and at the same time, in this way, the Daxuan Dynasty came forward to endorse, and in one fell swoop destroyed the rumor that his young prince was killed by Qin Fan in the ghost market.
And these few days were enough for him to see clearly how many insiders in the Shaohou Army were unwilling to accept his rule.
These ghosts were recorded one by one by his confidants in the Shaohou Army. When Di Feijing arrived with the imperial army, they were eradicated.
Making this decision also made Li Shizhou, who had always been nervous, feel a lot more relaxed.
As the saying goes, only by giving up can you gain. Being able to recognize whether one's ambition and ability match, and choose to let go at the appropriate time, also made Li Shizhou's state of mind to a higher level.
He doesn't need to worry about the battle situation in the northwest state capital now. After all, he relies on the big tree to enjoy the shade. The next confrontation is no longer about his Shaohou Army shivering between two top forces, but about the big army with a deeper foundation.
Xuan Dynasty rushed to the front.
As for winning or losing this confrontation, it is no longer Li Shizhou's primary concern.
So he decided to follow Qin Fan first, while also waiting to reach the end of the journey, looking for an opportunity to cut off the calamity he had always hidden in his heart.
Then there was a 'pop' sound, and two-thirds of the originally empty chessboard was filled with chess pieces.
"Xie family, what do you think?" Qin Fan's move was much slower.
"I think the situation of the Xie family and the Baihu Hall are different." Seeing that Qin Fan had not yet settled on his son, Yu Cangmiao did not urge him.
"In other words, the people behind the two forces are different. Even though they cooperate with each other, their behavior is completely different." Qin Fan put the sunspot in a corner and said in a deep voice.
"There is also the Satisfaction Talisman." Yu Cangmiao twisted the white pieces in her hand, seeming to be meditating on how to break the chess game, and also seemed to be thinking about the crisis in reality, "The Satisfaction Talisman used by Shangguan Jinhong is of higher quality.
Looking at the Buddha's light inside, it is obvious that it comes from the Buddha's land.
However, as an old rival who has fought against each other for several years, it is a little bit strange for Baihutang to submit to Fotu like this..."
"Because the leader of the White Tiger Hall is Shangguan Jinhong, it might not be possible for anyone else to compromise, but for people like him, bowing his head at the right time is nothing. After all, the winner is the one who laughs in the end."
"Then he is not really a winner. Now that I think about it carefully, there is something fishy about his attack on us. His personality does not lack the determination and madness to put everything on the line.
But this irrational performance can also infer his current mental state.
Taking refuge in the Buddha Land brought him a lot of pressure. This pressure came from within the White Tiger Hall, and it also caused him to torture himself mentally.
So he was eager to make some achievements and prove that he was right. Therefore, after realizing that the ambush against us failed, what he wanted was not to stop the loss in time, but to put everything on the line."
"But this is at least in line with the psychology of a power lord. He decided to take a gamble because he felt that there was a possibility of winning. But what about Xie?"
"puppet.
The great elder Xie Yunhong is the puppet who provokes us, the patriarch Xie Yiren is the puppet who lures us into the game, and the 10,000 blood-clothed sword guards are the puppets who consume the vitality of the ghost city. Apart from this, other useless things naturally do not exist.
necessary.
Even these puppets cannot avoid their inevitable fate.
So that's weird."
Yu Cangmiao dropped the white stones, and the three black stones were eaten by him.
Qin Fan didn't think for too long this time, and immediately dropped the black pieces, and in turn, a big dragon composed of white pieces was swallowed up in one bite.
"The strange thing is that if you want to rule the southwest prefecture, you can't do it without the help of the Zi Nong Xie family, unless the person behind the scenes doesn't care about this at all."
"So this has come full circle, and the suspicious candidate will still be locked on Bi Poqiong. After all, only a lunatic like him would treat available talents as insignificant expendables."
"That's why I don't understand what the person who pushed Bi Po Qiong to the stage was thinking. The head of the Tianjian Sect is not an easy pawn."
Having said this, Qin Fan and Yu Cangmiao looked at each other and said in unison:
"Extra spoilers."
Yu Cangmiao put the white pieces in his hand on the chess pot, looked at Qin Fan seriously and said:
"How many extraterrestrial forces have been confirmed to be interested in the world of mountains and seas?"
"The Daxuan Heavenly Court behind the Daxuan Dynasty, the Wanjiang Buddha Kingdom behind the Buddha Land, the Jiutian Dao Palace behind the Dao Domain, the forces behind the Wuwei Palace, the forces behind the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, and there is another company that is not sure whether to bet on me
The power of."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Six companies or five companies... It is already difficult to maintain a balance in the situation. In this case, if one more company is introduced to disrupt the situation, it is not necessarily a
Wrong move, after all we know nothing about their true strength.
Just looking at the management and advance arrangements for this world, Daxuan Heavenly Court is undoubtedly ranked first, but its overall strength may not necessarily be first."
"So you must go to Tianjian Sect, but before that, go to Xie's house first."
Yu Cangmiao nodded, and then his eyes no longer focused on the unfinished chessboard, but looked out the door.
Through the gap, I could see two black figures waiting there.
"come in."
Hearing Qin Fan's words, Black Thirteen walked into the room with [Demon King].
[Demon King] looked a little embarrassed at the moment. He did remember the woman's appearance, but he was really not good at describing it, so he talked to Black Thirteen for a long time and hired the best painter within a hundred miles, but he could only draw one
An ordinary picture of a woman.
"Now I'll teach you how to draw."
Qin Fan moved the chessboard aside, immediately took out the scroll and brush, and then began to explain the essentials of painting to [Demon King].
[Demon King] The entire process was filled with confusion until an interface message popped up in front of my eyes.
[You have been taught by Qin Fan and mastered the life skills·Danqing.]
"Have you learned it?"
[Demon King] nodded repeatedly, and then decisively added all his experience points to this life skill. In less than a stick of incense, he became a painter with many years of experience in painting.
Seeing him holding the brush skillfully and starting to paint, Black Thirteen, who was watching the whole process, was also a little confused. Before that, he had asked the other party if he had mastered the art of painting. After all, if you are slow to speak, you can't be so clumsy that you can't draw.
Show me the face of that woman.
The results are self-evident, but I didn't expect that the other party would master this skill proficiently in such a short time.
Yu Cangmiao's eyes were also on the [Devil King], but he was thinking about another thing.
Because his senior brother pays a lot of attention to the players, he is naturally full of curiosity about them. However, the performance of the players during this period was not as amazing as expected. Even though he witnessed the bombing of Tianshui City, it did not meet his psychological expectations.
.
Now, through this small painting, he has some expectations.
Qin Fan's mental power fully covered the scroll. When [Demon King] drew the outline of his face and those extremely special eyes, a name already appeared in his mind.
Not long after, a lifelike full-body image of a woman appeared on the scroll.
“Well done, keep up the good work.”
Qin Fan improved the favorability of [Demon King] and asked Black Thirteen to take him away. As for the scroll, he threw it to Yu Cangmiao aside.
"Who is she?" Yu Cangmiao looked puzzled.
"hold on."
"Who are you waiting for?"
Then he looked outside the door. Li Shizhou, whose breathing was slightly unsteady, pushed the door open and entered. When he saw the scroll, he frowned tightly and said:
"Gu Yinzhu!"
"Gu Yinzhu...this name...is somewhat familiar." Yu Cangmiao looked at Qin Fan again.
Qin Fan coughed dryly and said:
"The leader of the younger generation of Tianjian Sect, she is also the beloved disciple of the second elder Qi Canqing. On the top of the Sword Mountain, she and Gu Liuhe fell in love with each other because they practiced the improved version of Jade Girl Suxin Sword Technique, so they became friends.
friends, and together they joined Lin Chaoying."
"Why did she appear at Xie's house?" Li Shizhou asked puzzledly.
Although he mostly used Qi Cangqing, he still had feelings for the old man who had always supported him.
However, after confirming the ambush outside Ling Jue Mountain and trying to contact the other party several times without success, he guessed that Qi Cangqing was in danger.
Especially the head of Lin Chaoying is an excellent proof.
But now there seems to be a bright future. After all, Gu Yinzhu is still alive, so Qi Canqing may have a glimmer of hope.
As for Li Shizhou's question, neither Qin Fan nor Yu Cangmiao answered it because they didn't know the answer either.
"Looks like we have to go to Xie's house once."
Qin Fan then took out the vibrating sound transmission token in his arms, and frowned tightly after hearing the message coming from it.
------------------
Half an hour ago, Prince Wuwei's Mansion.
Ying Wuque's life has been very fulfilling recently. After setting up the anti-Qin banner, Jianghu forces who have enmity with Qin Fan and Gui Shi have come to join him. Although these forces combined are not as good as the former Knife Forging Hall, they should not be underestimated.
.
What makes him a little worried is that since the last Zhuge Zhengwo incident ended, he has not seen his biological father again.
This also reminded her of what Hua Lianxing said, that King Wuwei was an extremely suspicious person. Even though she currently occupies a high position, it is difficult for her to truly win the trust of the other party.
For this, all we can do is wait.
As a secret agent planted in other forces, he has plenty of patience.
Immediately when he started to practice the "Eight Styles of the Heavenly Sword", he saw Yu Gucheng quietly appearing beside him.
"Did you break through?"
Yu Gucheng nodded calmly: "Go to the hall first, my adoptive father has something to do."
Then its figure disappeared in an instant just as it came.
Ying Wuque didn't think much and walked quickly towards the hall.
After entering the hall, he found that Yu Gucheng, who was one step ahead of him, was leaning against the door. His stupid fourth brother was holding a sledgehammer and raised his eyebrows at him.
In addition, there is King Wuwei who sits on the throne.
Hua Lianxing did not come. After the last meeting in the hall, King Wuwei asked him to be responsible for wooing Buddha. According to the scattered information Ying Wuque received, his actions were very efficient.
Now the focus of Wuwei Palace's strategy has shifted to the lost northwest state capital. In fact, Wuwei Palace's control over the northwest state capital is not strong to begin with.
Xiao Wanji, the governor of the northwest prefecture who had previously raised the banner of the Wuwei Palace and made it clear that the horses and horses were going to rebel, was from the Northern Barbarians. The local No. 1 family, the Yunyue Shi family, was even more unruly and always wanted to connect both sides.
eat.
After the Shaohou Army joined, the Shi family became a three-headed one. In short, they were just a troublemaker.
Therefore, the northwest state capital is nominally occupied by the Wuwei Palace and the Shaohou Army in a six-fourth attack, but the actual situation inside is even more chaotic.
Now the Buddha Land has been introduced, which has made the situation even more chaotic.
However, these had nothing to do with Ying Wuque for the time being. When he saw Queen Wuwei, he gave a big salute directly.
"Wu Que, meet your adoptive father!"
"Wu Que, you have done well recently. This is the Jade Heart Tongqiao Pill given to you by my father, which will save you several years of hard work.
Although at your age, reaching the Yukong... well, reaching the Grand Master realm is considered outstanding, but in today's era, even the Celestial Realm cannot save one's life.
You still need to keep working hard.”
King Wuwei handed a medicine bottle to Ying Wuque. After Ying Wuque took it, he immediately thanked him: "Thank you, my adoptive father, for the reward!"
This thank you must be expressed sincerely.
Although he did not win the true trust of King Wuwei, the other party was really good to him. Knowing that the anti-Qin alliance on his side had begun to show results, he immediately mobilized a group of resources to help and supplemented the "Heavenly Sword" for him.
"Eight Forms".
If he hadn't been a cold-eyed wolf with no affection, he might have just been his fifth adopted son.
Then Ying Wuque suddenly raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly realized that his adoptive father's words just now were filled with a faint anger.
‘Can’t even save one’s life in the Celestial Realm? Who died again?’
