Chapter 84: Silent Night, Tea Drinkers(1/2)
Xu Hexian held the sword in his hand and walked slowly towards Qi Xiaoran.
Every step is particularly heavy.
Every step seemed to hit Qi Xiaoran's heart, making his face suddenly turn pale.
"Xu Hexian...you are really a devil!"
Qi Xiaoran was helpless.
He thought he had the strength to fight Xu Hexian and had a high possibility of killing Xu Hexian.
But after the actual fight, I realized how ridiculous this idea was.
In addition to his cruel and ruthless style of doing things, Xu Hexian's horror is more important than the sword in his hand.
Being able to sit in the position of the head of the Xuanzhengsi and the position is so stable, both strength and cruelty are indispensable.
Xu Hexian stood in ten steps away.
He lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.
He suddenly looked up and said indifferently: "I think you are a very stupid guy. Not only are you self-righteous, but also short-sighted. It is a very wrong decision to give you control. Maybe you are very suitable for this position when you were young, but as you get older, your abilities get smaller and smaller, and even your ideas are wrong."
Qi Xiaoran said angrily: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Xu Hexian smiled and said, "Why did you choose King Yu?"
Qi Xiaoran was stunned for a moment and said angrily: "Do you still want to humiliate me here? I have nothing to say about success, king, defeat, bandit!"
Xu Hexian shook his head and said, "King Yu is destined to be impossible. You can't even understand such things. It's not Your Majesty, nor King Yu, nor me, but you."
Qi Xiaoran gritted his teeth and said, "I have always heard that Xu Hexian and Xu Sishou like to torture others the most when doing things, but he is also a person who likes to talk nonsense? If you lose today, you will lose. Is the initial reason that important? You are just standing on the side of victory, so you will naturally say whatever you want."
Xu Hexian was silent for a while and said, "You still don't understand after all. Someone should have looked for you back then, right? But you made a choice, and your destiny was already destined since you made that choice."
Qi Xiaoran's expression was slightly different.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly looked up and looked at Xu Hexian in surprise.
Xu Hexian smiled slightly and said, "It seems you understand. I know you are a smart person. You just made a wrong choice for a while, but it is difficult to find a chance to make a new choice in anything in the world."
......
The bright moon quietly hides into the clouds.
The entire capital was silent.
The noise in Qi's mansion gradually stopped.
Many people dressed in black walked out of the mansion, and blood was dripping from their swords.
Jian Shuxuan stood behind Xu Hexian.
"No Qi Xiaoran was found."
Xu Hexian nodded and said, "I have killed him."
Jian Shuxuan frowned slightly and said, "The master around Qi Xiaoran is dead."
Xu Hexian looked back at him and smiled and said, "It's done well."
He reached out and patted Jian Shuxuan on the shoulder and said, "It's just a mere practitioner who has no clear status. It's been a long time for you."
Jian Shuxuan's expression changed slightly, and she knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "Children...Children will definitely... next time..."
Xu Hexian grabbed Jian Shuxuan's arm, gently helped him up, and said, "What are you doing? I don't blame you. I am your adoptive father and you are my son. The entire Xuan Zhengshi will rely on you in the future. Being a father just wants you to remember that time is very precious. Wasting time on unnecessary things is a waste of your own life."
Jian Shuxuan lowered her head and said, "I remember it."
Xu Hexian smiled and said, "That's best. This time you did a good job. Go back and have a good rest. Don't slack off in your practice. After all, you are the pride of my Xuan Zhengsi."
Jian Shuxuan still lowered his head, unable to see his expression, but his body was still trembling slightly.
......
The nights of winter are extremely cold. Li Mengzhou opened his eyes from the visualization of entering into meditation and felt a little stiff.
Although he has reached the state of inheriting the mind, in fact, he has not been in real contact with practice for a long time, and he is still in the stage of learning many things.
It is generally difficult for practitioners to be exposed to the cold wind from the outside world when visualizing, because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will show a protective effect. However, if you ignore this, you will feel uncomfortable when you sit in the cold wind for a long time and return to your senses, and you will feel that your whole body is frozen.
It takes time to take Yunyang’s natal sword.
But in just a few hours, Li Mengzhou had already communicated with the sword intent of his natal sword.
Even if it is only the initial stage, it will take a lot of time to freely use the sword as an arm to use the finger, but this is enough to shock the sword cultivator.
Li Mengzhou tried to drive the natal sword to the extreme, but only let the sword hang around several inches from the ground, and lost control in a few breaths.
The so-called natal sword is a kind of running-in between the sword and the master. If you want to reach the completion stage casually, it is like a fantasy.
Just like a scholar who reads, it takes time to understand, and it takes time to pass the imperial examination list. No one can understand a few words and look down on all scholars in the world.
Yunyang's natal sword was not in a hurry. Li Mengzhou thought about King Yu's attempt to kill him, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
Although Qingyi told him to just wait in Chaosi Lane, he still walked out of Chaosi Lane.
What he was holding was still the black blue sword.
Before fully raising the natal sword, Li Mengzhou did not want to let the sword come out too early.
Moreover, if the natal sword is formed, it can be stored in the qi sea in the Dantian, killing enemies when needed, and hiding them when not needed.
If you can't do this, it's hard to guarantee that this sword will not be recognized by some people.
Li Mengzhou suspected that when he first arrived in the capital, someone should have recognized the sword. The one he most suspected was Jiang Tingyu, the head of Tianshu Courtyard.
Because he always felt that Jiang Tingyu had not won him enough reason.
Perhaps there are some secrets in it.
This made Li Mengzhou unable to fully trust Jiang Tingyu.
But so far, Jiang Tingyu has helped him a lot, but he doesn't look like the enemy's behavior.
He could only temporarily bury this thought in his heart and be careful every step.
When he walked out of Chaosi Lane, Li Mengzhou faintly smelled a trace of fishy smell.
He knew very well what brought the smell of fishy smell.
He did not stop and walked straight out of the city.
......
In the middle of the night, two moments have passed.
There is a trace of silver and white in the dark night sky, and the stars are dim.
On the official road leaving the South City Gate, there was a carriage and dozens of horses galloping.
The official road outside the South City Gate is still far from Gongshan Gate, and the direction is deviated. This is the main road entering the capital of Jiangguo.
In the carriage, King Yu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the strategist sitting opposite him and cleared his throat. He said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The process of leaving the city is a bit relaxed. Is there any problem?"
The strategist whispered: "It is more than ten miles away from the capital. Even if someone chases it behind, it should be too late. Not everyone knows what happened in front of the gate of Ligongshan. After all, it may be a problem for us to pretend to be able to get out of the city easily, but we can only hope that there will be no problem."
King Yu's palms, which were resting on his knees, clenched into fists, and sighed slightly, "So there is still a problem. If Xuan Zhengsi and Tianshuyuan come to chase, they may not be able to catch up with them."
The strategist naturally knew this well, but he could only try his best to comfort Wang Dao: "Unless the leader of the Second Division came in person, we still have a chance to escape. Although Bai Yuanshan is dead, many of these guards are at the peak of the artistic conception. As long as we don't encounter too difficult opponents, it will be enough to help Your Highness escape."
King Yu said coldly: "I'm afraid that it's Jiang Tingyu and Xu Hexian who are here to chase him personally. Although I have never had much contact with Jiang Tingyu, there are many rumors about him in the world, and some people are even sure that Jiang Tingyu is the strongest in the five realms."
Regarding Jiang Tingyu's strength, if you believe it, you will have it; if you don't believe it, you will have it.
After all, Jiang Tingyu has not drawn his sword for many years, and no one can accurately find out how strong Jiang Tingyu is.
There are rumors in the world that Jiang Tingyu is the strongest in the five realms, but there are also rumors that Jiang Tingyu retired from the world due to serious injuries and appeared in the court just now, and he no longer had the strength of the past.
But it is not clear which rumor is more credible.
From his position, of course he would prefer the latter.
But the so-called lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Jiang Tingyu is really not good at his peak, he is still a terrifying figure.
These dozens of guards who inherit the artistic realm are difficult to withstand Jiang Tingyu's sword.
King Yu just felt a little scared.
The strategist said with a slightly clear expression: "Although Jiang Tingyu is the head of Tianshu Courtyard, no one has seen him draw his sword since the rumors in the rivers and lakes. Perhaps he has hidden some shortcomings, or perhaps there is another hidden story. If it is true that Jiang Tingyu retired due to a serious injury to an invincible strong man, then even if Jiang Tingyu comes in person, we still have a try.
Tianshu Academy has always been mysterious. Apart from Jiang Tingyu, it is the Qingyi place on the surface, but Qingyi is a strong man in the realm of no prestige. If all the experts from Tianshu Academy are coming out, we may have to give it a try and we will not be able to surrender obediently."
When he said this, the strategist felt a little unconfident.
The more mysterious the enemy is, the less it cannot be used to speculate on rumors alone.
Even if Jiang Tingyu is really not as strong as before, he is afraid that he will be unable to meet the opponent in the fifth realm. So no matter which rumors about Jiang Tingyu are true, as long as Jiang Tingyu really appears, it will be a great danger.
King Yu's eyes fell on the scene that was sweeping quickly outside the curtain of the car. Not to mention that the strategist was not confident, even if he didn't sound confident, after all, the rumors about Jiang Tingyu were too loud, so it was hard not to think about the worst.
In the quiet night, the sound of breaking through the air came.
The sound of the horse's four hooves stomping on its way disturbing the calm.
