In the Shuo Palace, Li Qiu told Ping Xiangjun and others about what had been processed by him, and then resigned to Ping Xiangjun.

"Shuo Hou, I've been in Shuo for a long time, it's time to leave. ”

"Mr. ......"

Ping Xiangjun wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he did not stay.

He knew that Li Qiu's situation was in danger of staying in Shuo at this time.

If the Qinghe faction can send one Zheng Shen, it can send a second Zheng Shen, and then stay in Shuo State, why not wait for someone to come to the door.

"Damn the ...... of the Qinghe faction"

Ping Xiangjun was very indignant at the Qinghe faction's attempt to rob Li Qiu's Qi Refining Method.

He stood up and arched his hand.

"Sir, the great grace of saving the people of my Shuo country, our Shuo country will always remember it. ”

"If Mr. comes to Japan in need, our Shuo country is willing to go to the soup and fire with the drive!"

His Royal Highness's ministers Geng Jiu, Wei Kuan and others also stood up and bowed their hands to Li Qiu.

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

Li Qiu also stood up, and after returning the salute, he prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, sir. ”

Ping Xiangjun waved his hand, and the attendant walked up holding a wooden plate.

He took a bag of flawless jade from the plate and walked up quickly, looking sincerely grateful.

"The widow knows that Mr. saved our Shuo country for the sake of righteousness, not for money. ”

"But we can't help but say that although this bag of jade is not much, it is only worth 10,000 gold, but it is also a piece of our Shuo country's heart. ”

Of course, Wanjin can't be considered small, but compared with Li Qiu's great kindness to save the whole country, it seems a little thin.

The main reason is that the best jade of Shuo Country was supplied to Fan Ai in the past, and there was not much left, and these jade stones worth 10,000 gold were made up by Ping Xiangjun, Geng Jiu, and Wei Kuan.

They discussed it, and they couldn't take boxes of gold and copper coins to thank Li Qiu.

Although a bag of jade is less, it is at least more beautiful, and Li Qiu, as a qi refiner, can also be directly used for cultivation.

"Please accept this bag of jade, not only to let the widow and others feel a little at ease, but also to let the people of the world know that those who uphold righteousness will never pay in vain. ”

"Please sir, don't do that "ransom and refuse money" thing. ”

Ping Xiangjun bowed.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

It was an allusion that he had heard of.

Decades ago, there was a law in the country of Rwanda that if people from other countries saw their compatriots who had become slaves of other countries, as long as they paid for the ransom of these people, the state would not only reimburse the ransom, but also reward them.

There was a disciple of a sage who paid money to redeem the people who had become slaves from other countries, but refused the reimbursement and reward of the Lu state.

However, this disciple, who was praised and admired, was reprimanded by the sages because he raised the standard of upholding righteousness to the point where it is difficult for most people to achieve it, and the world will compare him with others when there is such a thing.

Not everyone can do it like him, regardless of losses and efforts to help others and uphold justice, and when someone encounters this situation again, most of them will be deterred by fear of people's words.

Ping Xiangjun said all the words to this part, Li Qiu thought about it for a while, and could only accept it.

"Xie Shuohou. ”

......

Li Qiu left Shuo and prepared to go to another country to find a new stronghold of the Tianwen Organization.

The previous Tianwen organization's stronghold in Shuo was relocated to another country to hide because he heard that Zhan Xiong was about to launch a raid on Shuo.

Although Shuo was saved from disaster later due to his help, the Tianwen Organization stronghold that moved away seems to have no intention of moving back for the time being.

It just so happens that his strength is almost no match among the several vassal states near Shuo.

Assassination commissions are not common, and the nearby ones are all weak countries, and assassinating several or even a dozen princes of weak countries can be worthy of a strong prince.

He intended to go south, among the more powerful princely states.

If you take one commission there, you may be able to withstand several commissions here, and get more source power in the same time.

Jiang Tianzi divided the princes back then, and sealed the weaker vassal states to the north, where the climate was mostly bitter cold.

However, there are still strong and weak countries among the same weak countries.

And thousands of years have passed, and the strength and weakness of the vassal states are not static, some strong countries have weakened and become weak, and some weak countries have risen and become strong countries.

Zhangguo is one of the many northern vassal states that has risen rapidly in recent years.

It can be said that in the entire north, except for a few vassal countries, it is the most powerful Zhangguo.

Li Qiu didn't spend much effort to inquire about the Tianwen Organization's stronghold in Zhangguo.

A few days later.

Shokoku, Valley City.

The moon is dark and the stars are dark, and the cold wind is bleak.

Li Qiu was dressed in a black robe and a bronze mask, and walked into a teahouse that was dimly lit and had not yet closed.

Different from the liquor shops in Shuoguo, the disguise on the surface of the Tianwen organization's stronghold in Zhangguo is that it is a tea shop.

But it's all pretty much the same, it's all a place where information flows.

In a small house in the backyard of the tea house, the tea shop guy pushed open the door and invited Li Qiu to enter.

There was only one counter and an oil lamp in the room, and behind the counter sat an old man with a cold breath, a thin body, and a sallow complexion.

Especially under the dim lights, the whole person is a little scary.

Compared to the old man of Shuo Kingdom, the person in charge of this stronghold is more like the rumored person in charge of the Assassin Order.

After a whisper in the old man's ear, the man walked out and closed the door by the way.

"From Shuo Kingdom?"

The old man's eyes were gloomy, he looked at Li Qiu's eyes, and slowly spoke, his voice was old and hoarse.

"Yes. ”

Li Qiu nodded.

The old man took out a roll of bamboo slips from under the counter and spread it out.

"What's it called?"

"Fengqiu. Li Qiu said in a deep voice.

"Fengqiu ......" the old man muttered, his fingers slicing over the bamboo slips, and finally stopped on the two ancient seals.

Finding the name, he looked down.

"The Assassin Feng Qiu was often dressed in black robes and bronze masks, and his voice was extremely low.

The first time he accepted the commission, he revealed the strength of the refining body with the power of the six gods......"

The yellow-faced old man was a little strange when he saw this.

Usually the location here is a direct description of the Assassin's strength by the people of the organization, and why they specifically state that it was the first time they accepted the commission.

Could it be that it has only accepted a commission once for more than ten years, or even decades, so its strength will change.

That's also a little wrong, the organization can directly indicate his current strength, why bother to describe it.

The yellow-faced old man then looked down.

"In the process of completing the first commission, it showed the ability to stealthily approach the body refiner and the qi refiner, and the strength of the body refining with the power of about eight dragons. ”

"The ability to stealthily approach Qi Refiners and Qi Refiners?"

The yellow-faced old man was a little surprised, he was also an assassin before, and he couldn't know the horror of this ability.

"In order to accept the commission for the second time, he revealed his refining strength with the power of the Nine Jiao, and in the case of the completion of the second commission, all his strength was not just that simple, and he showed a body of qi refining cultivation that was comparable to the power of the two Jiao. ”

Finally, the Tianwen organization's comprehensive evaluation of Li Qiu.

"This person has a strange temperament, and the upper limit of his strength is uncertain for the time being. ”

Generally, assassins will hide some of their strength for the safety of their lives.

But this part of the strength will never be revealed, and the commission accepted will always be lower than the real strength.

And Li Qiu's strength has changed again and again, several times in succession, making people unable to figure out his true strength.

Especially after he showed his body refining strength with the power of the Nine Dragons, he also showed the qi refining cultivation of a body refiner that was at least comparable to the power of the two Jiao.

If it is the main cultivation qi, then his body refining strength has the power of the Nine Heavens, and how strong his true qi refining cultivation should be is definitely more than what it shows.

And every time it shows some of its strength, it makes it impossible to guess the reasons and thoughts for what it does.

So in the end, the old man could only give Li Qiu an evaluation with a strange temperament and an uncertain upper limit of strength.

The yellow-faced old man closed the bamboo slip, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little embarrassed.

Because of this description of the uncertain strength, he didn't know what attitude to treat Li Qiu.

The attitude towards the strong and the weak are certainly not the same.

He himself was a body refiner with the power of the Four Jiao, and in terms of the strength that Li Qiu had shown before, he was definitely stronger than Li Qiu.

But it was difficult for him to determine whether that was all Li Qiu's strength.

If Li Qiu's hidden strength is stronger than him, and his attitude is contemptuous, wouldn't he offend Li Qiu.

In the end, the yellow-faced old man felt that it was better to be polite to Li Qiu.

"Your Excellency can call me Huang Lao or Huang Lao Man. ”

Li Qiu's gaze swept over the yellow-faced old man's face, and he immediately knew where these two titles came from.

Just like the old man who wines, he starts casually according to one of his own characteristics.

"Huang Lao. Li Qiu nodded.

Even though he chose a relatively polite and respectful title, the yellow-faced old man did not dare to underestimate Li Qiu's strength because of this.

After all, no matter what the strength is, people who know a little etiquette will not choose the latter title.

"It is recorded on the bamboo slip that the organization owes you 10,000 yuan in honorarium and has not paid it, and your Excellency previously proposed to exchange this 10,000 gold for a Yuan Qi technique that concentrates more attack power and is more powerful ape, but is this so?"

"Yes. ”

Seeing that Li Qiu had no intention of changing his mind, Huang Laodai nodded and said.

"The organization has found a superior vitality technique that meets your requirements, and it will be delivered in a few days. ”

A flash of joy flashed in Li Qiu's eyes.

Compared to the fact that he now has three Yuan Qi techniques that are very suitable for muddy weather, and two of them are powerful superior Yuan Qi techniques and supreme Yuan Qi techniques, there are almost no Yuan Qi techniques suitable for Xuan Yuan Qi.

Originally, the power of Xuanyuan Qi was a little inferior to that of the muddy weather, and the gap in the Yuan Qi technique made the strength that he could use as "Fengqiu" far inferior to "Qingfeng".

This is not a good thing, some situations cannot be solved only by using Xuan Yuan Qi, so they can only expose the muddy weather, and the more times the muddy weather is used, the greater the possibility of his "Qingfeng" identity being exposed.

The only way to improve the strength of the identity of "Fengqiu" is to balance the two.

"Is there a commission that suits me?"

Huang Lao thought back to the few existing commissions and shook his head.

But he remembered the uncertain evaluation of Li Qiu's strength by the people of the organization, raised his eyebrows, and said tentatively.

"There is a commission right now, which requires a body refiner with the power of the three Jiao, or a qi refiner who has just entered the Fa phase to accept it, I don't know if your Excellency ......"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.

He can also guess one or two about the old man's evaluation of him on the bamboo slips, and he is not surprised by this scene.

The old man probably thought he was a strong man with a strange temperament who had nothing to do to play the role of an assassin.

But in fact, the change in his strength is not to show his strength a little bit outward, but his strength has been improving.

However, I'm afraid that no one will believe that this is the case, after all, the strength of Qi Refiners and Body Refiners has progressed, and neither of them can be completed in ten or dozens of days.

Especially for Qi Refiners, it took decades or even more than a hundred years to advance to a realm.

"I would like to take over this commission and ask Mr. Huang to tell me about the specific situation of this commission. ”

Huang Lao seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and took out a bronze ball directly from under the counter.

"Your Excellency, please leave a mark of your strength on this bronze orb. ”

Li Qiu took the bronze ball, put his hand down, and the sleeves of his robe hung down to cover everything.

Huang Lao paid attention to Li Qiu's movements, and suddenly felt a sharp aura coming from the sleeve of his robe, as if there was a sharp, sharp divine weapon hidden inside!

This extremely sharp aura made his hairs stand on end, and he faintly felt a sense of threat!

"It's vitality. ”

Huang Lao's eyes moved, and he immediately realized.

"The vitality of the Sharp Trait......"

"No wonder he wants a Yuan Qi technique with more concentrated attack power!"

"Then again......

It can make me feel faintly threatened, and it doesn't look like it's just a refiner who can only match the power of Erjiao. ”

Sure enough, this Fengqiu still has hidden strength, I don't know if this is his limit. ”

In Huang Lao's feelings, Li Qiu's current strength should be between him and him.

But I don't know if the strength shown by the other party is all.

Soon, Li Qiu took out the bronze ball from the sleeve of his robe, and there was already a not shallow mark on it, as if it was cut by a sharp blade.

Huang Lao took the bronze ball, glanced at it, and put it back under the counter.

This is a bronze ball that is specially tested for the strength of Jiao-level body refiners, and the fact that a qi refiner can leave such a mark on it is indeed the level of the first entry into the Fa phase.

Huang Lao nodded, and took out a bronze token from under the counter, which was very similar to the one handed to Li Qiu by the old man last time, but the difference was that the word Tianwen had become Jiao.

The snake-like, scaly armor, long head with two horns, and whiskers under the jaw is very close to a real dragon, but there are some differences in some subtleties.

For example, the double horns on the head are straight and sharp, the scale armor on the body is uneven, and the snake shape of the head has not completely faded.

and the dragon, which is regarded as a symbol of the divine beast and the emperor, Jiao is a little demonic and eerie, which makes people fearful!

And under the Tianwen entangled by the demon Jiao, there is an auspicious cloud pattern engraved.

The Demon Jiao Entanglement represents the strength of a Jiao-level refiner, and the auspicious cloud pattern represents the identity of a Qi Refiner.

Li Qiu took the bronze token, and Huang Lao began to introduce the assassination commission.

"This commission comes from Yongguo. ”

"The target of the assassination is the master of Yongguo Gongziqu, Yongguo Sikong Yunli!"
