The Longmen Inn in Longhu Mountain is in one of the restaurants on one floor.

Chu Xianzhao sat alone at a table by the window, and Tang Hong and Guan Ju were not with him, probably because he wanted to be alone and quiet.

The last game of the second round was Bai Chonglou against Tang Li from the Admiralty Gate, Bai Chonglou only used the four or two thousand catties of Wudang Yun to end the battle, and the so-called indestructible Tang Li had no power to fight back, compared to the earth-shattering sword battle between Li Duzun and Bai Jin, this competition seemed unremarkable.

Even so, Chu Xianzhao felt that the strength of this Wudang Dao Master was no worse than that Li Duzun, and if he let himself run into him, it would be very tricky.

After the second round of solo battles, the third round of the competition will start tomorrow, when those of them who have survived the first two rounds will enter a mirage called the Land of Spring and Autumn, and survive in this place full of dangers and both true and false, and those who finally break out of this mirage will enter the final round of the competition, and now they can take the opportunity to rest.

Chu instantly summoned a person to drink alone, and the state of mind that had been tense these days was also slowly relaxed at this time.

In the final analysis, he went to Longhu Mountain this time to get the Qimen Great Basket, and it was really unexpected to meet Guan Ju, and there was a reason not to be casual and humane, that is, he hoped to show the majesty and strength of the domineering sword again in this martial arts competition, so that everyone would remember the blue-shirted sword god who once dominated the Southern Continent again, and he didn't want his master to be simply forgotten by the rivers and lakes.

"If I had Wang Xi now, I wouldn't have to worry about running into that dragon floating life at all, so my chances of winning are still not very good now. Chu Xianzhao's eyes flickered, if he relied on swordsmanship, he was afraid that it would be difficult to defeat that half-human, half-dragon monster, if he used the Wind God armor that Chu Xiaohua gave him, he should be able to fight, but I don't know if using this armed force in front of tens of thousands of people will cause him trouble that he shouldn't have, and I don't know at present.

Chu Xuanzhao's thoughts were not stopped, his fingers repeatedly tapped on the table, and he muttered: "It seems that this time in that Spring and Autumn Land, Long Fusheng will definitely try all means to get rid of me, and he has to find a way to deal with him." ”

Just as Chu Xianzhao was pondering, he suddenly noticed that someone was sitting down in front of him, like a sudden gust of wind.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw that the woman in black had poured himself a glass of wine, drinking silently, and there were not too many ripples on her face.

Seeing this person go up the mountain to find him, Chu instantly opened the door and asked directly: "Before I went to Longhu Mountain to participate in the martial arts this time, I gave you a lot of capital and power, how are you doing now to establish a spy network organization in the city? Do you have any practical information to tell me? And let you investigate the matter of that Long Fusheng, how are you doing?"

Jiang Tang frowned slightly, and said: "You have the same temperament as your father, and it is reasonable to command people to do things, is it worth your care so much with your strength?"

Chu Xuanzhao poured her a glass of wine and said calmly: "Long Fusheng is the most wanted to kill me among so many participants, because he thinks that I robbed his woman, but in fact, that woman doesn't love him at all, but these are not important, the important thing is that now that I have no Wang Xi, it is difficult to beat him with just one swordsmanship, I am not afraid that he will compete with me in the last game, I am afraid that he will chase me and bite me like a mad dog, and I will really not be able to eat and walk away at that time." I also had a big heart last time, and hugged that woman in front of him, and now I regret it when I think about it, now he can crush me to ashes and never leave me a whole corpse, I want to know where his weakness is?"

Jiang Tang glanced at him deeply, put his fingertips on the rim of the cup, and said softly: "To understand your words in another way, do you want to know the weaknesses of the dragon species?"

Chu Xianzhao's eyes widened slightly, "Do you have a way to defeat these descendants with dragon blood?"

Jiang Tang was silent, staring at this feminine and handsome face, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

Chu Xianzhao lowered his eyes and said, "I know." ”

Jiang Tang still didn't drink the glass of wine, and asked softly, "Are you disappointed in me?"

Chu Xuanzhao cupped his cheeks, his eyes drooped slightly, and said, "No, you have never been disappointed in me, how can I be disappointed in you in turn? Let me think of another way." ”

Jiang Tang smiled playfully and asked: "Let me guess, in addition to wanting to get that Qimen Da Gong when you came to participate in the martial arts this time, do you also want to regain your reputation in Nanlu for Guan Changye, and don't want him to be forgotten by the rivers and lakes, if not, why do you want to go to learn swords from Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

Chu Xianzhao smiled, gave a thumbs up and said, "Those who know me, Jiang Tang also." ”

Jiang Tang glanced at Chu Xuanzhao, who was empty-handed and unarmed, and asked curiously, "If I can't help you, how are you going to deal with that dragon floating life who can burn living people to ashes?"

Chu Xianzhao was a little embarrassed, scratched his head habitually, and said stupidly: "Hard fight? It should be able to win......

Jiang Tang glared at him, "Dead duck has a hard mouth, I went up the mountain to find you this time, and naturally I helped you get a weapon that can deal with them." ”

Jiang Tang took out a small box from his arms and put it on the wine table, and after opening the box, there was a delicate and small, dark crossbow lying inside, and some small arrows with silver light, about twenty or so.

Chu Xianzhao looked at this secret weapon and said dumbfounded: "You're not mistaken, eldest sister...... You're going to let me use this gadget to shoot dragon floating, these hidden weapons won't be useful to him, that guy can be a dragon at any time, and ordinary dark arrows can't shoot through his dragon scales. ”

"That's right, so I'm going to use mercury arrows. Jiang Tang said slowly: "According to the information fed back to me by the spy network, I have obtained an important piece of information about dealing with the flying dragon cavalry, if your father wants to defeat the flying dragon cavalry, the most important thing is to defeat the flying dragon under their seat, and the mercury can violently corrode the dragon scales of the flying dragon, making the dragon scales as soft as cowhide, and even making the flying dragon fall into a state of poisoning, so that they can no longer continue to fight." This batch of mercury arrow crossbows is specially made for you by me and the people of Sanwei, the moment the arrow shoots out, it can spew out a stream of mercury vapor, if nothing else, it should be possible to use it to deal with the descendants of the dragon king like Long Fusheng, whether he can poison him I dare not guarantee, at least it can greatly weaken his strength, and then if this information is sent back to the Yin country, it may become the key to the victory or defeat of the north and the south. ”

Hearing this, Chu instantly summoned those small arrows glowing with silver light, and couldn't help but gasp, wanting to reach out and touch this arrow crossbow, suddenly remembering that he was also a person with dragon blood now, and hurriedly retracted his hand, if he accidentally let him touch the mercury poison, it would be troublesome at this juncture.

Jiang Tang calmly explained: "This dark crossbow can be tied to the arm and used, the trigger that fires the arrow is in the palm of your hand, the way to shoot the arrow is to bend the middle finger and ring finger down, and quickly double click the trigger, the reason why this design is to prevent you from triggering the dark arrow when you make a fist, and the distance of the shot can be close to three zhang, as for whether it is accurate or not, it depends on you." ”

Chu Xianzhao's eyes lit up, and he was as excited as a child who saw candy.

Jiang Tang added: "I also brought you a few hidden weapons from the door, such as this climbing claw that can eject more than ten zhang, and this dagger with quenching poison, all here, you can bring any of them if you think they are useful." ”

Chu Xianzhao was overjoyed when he heard this, picked up the cleverly designed iron claw, nodded again and again, and said: "This is like the person who does things for me, following me is much more promising than mixing with my father, isn't it? ”

Jiang Tang shook his head and said: "If you say this kind of thing now, I don't believe it in my heart, don't unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future, I will thank you very much." ”

As a result, as soon as this sentence came out, Jiang Tang regretted it.

Because she saw that after Chu Xianzhao heard this, his eyes moved away from her face, looking at the seventy-two peaks surrounded by clouds and mist outside the window, and the black clouds under the night were like a sea tide across the peaks of Longhu Mountain, he put away the leisurely posture just now and sat at the wine table, his side face was as hard as a rock.

After going through so many trials of life and death, this big boy finally matured, and a certain belief had appeared in his heart, dazzling like a long knife in the oven.

Jiang Tang suddenly realized that this man might become the future king, one day he would be entangled in thousands of flags to call for wind and rain, countless people would fight to die for him, countless people would want to kill him at any cost, except for the emperor of the Yin Kingdom who was thousands of miles away, if there was anyone who asked Jiang Tang to serve him willingly, it was the Chu Zhaozhao in front of him.

Now that he has become the head of the Shen family with a fake identity named Tang Huang, he will become the center of focus wherever he goes in Luoyang City, and many people regard him as their biggest enemy, and there should be dozens of house slaves to follow the guards when a person of his identity walks in Luoyang City, but Chu Xianzhao did not find anyone to serve as his guard, but chose to believe her, imagining that the Crow Qi Wei she brought would protect his safety everywhere, regardless of anyone's opposition, without any purpose of compromise.

During the period of integration into the Shen family, Jiang Tang heard more than once that the subordinates in the family said that he was a cronyist, in fact, Jiang Tang also understood that this was because of Chu Xianzhao's character, he was suspicious of everything, and did not trust those who did not talk to him, originally he was going to inherit the huge dynasty with hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen, but because of a rebellious decision, he lost this inheritance, so he came to a foreign country to work hard, Jiang Tang didn't know the reason for him to do this, and Chu Xianzhao didn't tell her, so he felt that he was very bitter。

It's bitter, it's not bitter or painful, it's just a lonely word bitter, so it seems very bitter.

Chu Xianzhao looked at the sky in the distance, and in a trance, it seemed that when he returned to Lin'an City, the scene of Helian singing with his sister in the first year of the stage was stunned.

"Is there a letter from Yinguo?" Chu asked instantly.

"Not for the time being, if there is, I will hand it over to you, and I won't hide it and not tell you, this is an agreement between us. ”

"That's ......" Chu Xianzhao rested his chin on his arms and tilted his head sideways to look at the stars in the night.

"What is there in your heart that is not pleased...... You can talk to me, you can say anything. ”

Jiang Tang looked at his appearance, felt sad for no reason, and gently rested his hand on his arm, suddenly feeling very pitiful and wanting to say something to comfort him.

"What can I tell you...... In your eyes, I am the son of the man who destroyed your family and country, you should have hated me, how can you want to comfort me in turn, you are such a kind woman. ”

Jiang Tang's heart throbbed again, kind...... Who was the last person who said that she was kind, the father who was trampled into pulp by the Yinguo Iron Horse, or the mother who was raped and killed by the soldiers, and now these two words spit out from his mouth, like two long needles piercing her heart.

Chu Xianzhao noticed the strange color on her face, and comforted her in turn: "Actually, I'm fine, it's just a little depressed, it's the first time I've walked so far alone, although I don't know where the end of the road is, but I stubbornly want to go on." ”

Jiang Tang looked at him quietly, and his eyes never took his eyes off his face for a moment.

Chu Xianzhao grinned and said, "What's the matter, is there anything on my face?" I am still fascinated by my handsome and charming appearance, I don't dislike women who are old, beautiful and warm-hearted. ”

Jiang Tang sneered: "The little woman is really honored. ”

Chu Xianzhao glanced at her turbulent scenery and said with a smile: "You are not small, you are almost twenty-seven or eighteen, if Chu Xiaohua didn't fight Xilin back then, your children would be as tall as me, maybe a little shorter." ”

Jiang Tang heard his pun, stepped on the back of his shoe with one foot, and felt that he still didn't understand his hatred, so he stepped on both feet.

Chu Xianzhao has always eaten soft rather than hard, and muttered to himself: "Chu Xiaohua has not come to lead the army to the Southern Continent until now, could it be that he is uniting with other dynasties and planning to chisel through the entire Southern Continent Dynasty in one go?"

Jiang Tang said coldly: "You will kill a lot of people." ”

Chu Xianzhao was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Yes, it will kill a lot of people, but so what? But you know that no one can stop Chu Xiaohua's expedition, he is determined to become the emperor of the whole world, you slaves from the west hate him to the core, and he just did something that everyone will do in his position, changing the dynasty is not only the name of the dynasty, but also the backbone of you lonely souls and wild ghosts, as for those remnants who would rather die with the whole family than bow their heads, what do you let Chu Xiaohua take to forgive them, who will die if they don't die?"

Jiang Tang's voice said angrily: "Who doesn't want to live? Who wants to die? Aren't they all forced by you to have no choice, and in the end they don't even have dignity, how can you let them live?"

Chu Xianzhao said with a smile: "When I was a child, I read history books, and when I saw the book that it was recorded that the First Emperor of Great Qin ordered soldiers to bury and kill the 30,000 Yan prisoners after the Great Destruction of Yan Kingdom, I only thought he was a cruel person, and now when I look back and think about it, I feel that he is very merciful." ”

Jiang Tang looked at him like a madman, his mouth slightly open.

Chu instantly summoned the quiet and said: "The mercy in the king's heart can protect everything, but also destroy everything, when you feel that those slaves who died in the country are very pitiful and want to protect them, this kind of mercy is cruel to your people, everyone in the troubled times can't eat enough, who will feed these lonely souls and wild ghosts who have lost their home and country, and your people will starve to death because of your kindness, this world is like this, the king is defeated, only the victorious people can hold the pen of the history book, to create a peaceful and prosperous era, until the end of the prosperous era, the troubled times rise again." Maybe this world is so cruel, so ...... It will be so beautiful. ”

"Is there no other way?"

"No, unless someone makes it to the top, even God will bleed before that. ”

"No wonder Chu Xiaohua values your son so much, he knows that he is old, and you are the one he expects to reach the top. ”

"This kind of weight is actually a bit hypocritical, like treating me as a sword in his hand, maybe he will stick me in that chair, but when he should break me in the face of life and death, he will still not hesitate. ”

As soon as Chu Xianzhao's words came out, Jiang Tang felt a deep chill climb up her back, she was not afraid of the white-haired young man next to her who was willing to talk to her, but of the man who had burned their king without changing his face in front of tens of thousands of people in the west.

It turns out that he will also be old, will he die next?

Is it only when he dies that those unjust souls who have been trampled to death by his iron cavalry can really be blinded?

"If you want me to leave, I'll go down the mountain now, and I won't let you rest. ”

"After listening to the truth I revealed, do you want to call me despicable or something, I feel that it is not bad for a woman to scold herself...... Am I a little perverted to say that? ”

Listening to Chu Xianzhao's explanation, Jiang Tang was neither surprised nor angry, a relieved look appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "I don't think you are cruel, but I think you are pitiful, Chu Xiaohua treats you as a sword in his hand, you also treat me as your sword, I don't blame you if it is broken, anyway, everyone is a lost dog, it would be good to cherish each other, I am gone, you take care." ”

Chu Xianzhao suddenly asked: "If the two of us can go back to Yinguo together, do you want to go with me to see the grassland scenery of the Golden Horde, I have been to Shuyue, and I have seen the bamboo forest covering an area of 10,000 mu with my own eyes, but I have never had any concept of the scene of the wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep, I hope to see it once in my lifetime, it is also my mother's hometown, if I can see this, I think my mood will also be much better." ”

His words almost blurted out, as unrealistic as a penniless man promising a fragrant car BMW to his beloved woman, but he still said it, because Jiang Tang just said "Chu Xiaohua treats you as a sword in his hand, you also treat me as your sword, and I won't blame you if it is broken", his heartstrings seemed to be gently pulled by this woman, making him subconsciously regard her as his own relatives.

Jiang Tang said: "Okay, I'll remember." ”

Chu Xianzhao's palm rested on his cheeks, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled with a mouthful of small white teeth.

This girl actually blushes, still when he doesn't touch her.

After Jiang Tang left, Guan Ju and Tangerine sat in the position she had just left.

Guan Ju seemed to be dissatisfied: "Xiao Zhao, who was that woman just now, you won't mess with flowers again, right?"

Chu Xianzhao smiled: "I'm here to deliver equipment." ”

He picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with the wine glass left by Jiang Tang, and drank the glass of cold wine.

Then he fell asleep on the table, and Tangerine and Guan Ju silently guarded him until daylight fell.
