Chapter 12: Aftertaste
After Li Taibai gradually drifted away and finally disappeared, Mu Qiuhuang also retracted his gaze.
"Li Taibai? Just now I really saw Li Taibai, the number one in the world. ”
Mu Qiuhuang was full of smiles, still immersed in the joy of seeing Li Taibai's true face just now.
The influence of the three words "Li Taibai" in the rivers and lakes is unparalleled. Every person in the world longs to become Li Taibai, that is to say, he is the idol in the hearts of all cultivators in the world. Mu Qiuhuang is also a cultivator, so he can't be an exception to want to see the true face of his idol.
Throughout history, no matter what dynasty or generation, there are bound to be some famous people, whether these celebrities are really talented or touted...... All in all, this group of "celebrities" is an indispensable product of every era. Because, any ordinary place, once with the blessing of celebrities, is bound to become no longer ordinary. "The imperial power is solemn, and there is no room for ordinary people to judge their character, therefore, the only people in the world can talk about are those who are in the rivers and lakes, and since ancient times, the people in the rivers and lakes have struggled all their lives is nothing more than this "name" word, the most famous in the rivers and lakes is none other than the top ten masters in the world, and the reputation of the top ten masters is even louder than these four sword immortals. In the world, there are many swordsmen who can cast swords, but as long as the words "swordsmanship swords" are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind in the world's minds must be the swordsmanship in the land of Qinlu, for no other reason, just because the owner of this sword-casting house is Dao Sword Immortal Ou Yezi. And Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Taibai did only one thing in Shu, and that was to dig seven hundred miles of mountain roads for the Shu people. But now you go to Shuzhong to take a look, you will find that there are traces of Qinglian Sword Immortal everywhere, the tea seller will say, this tea is Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Taibai personally drunk, the cake seller will say, this is Qinglian Sword Immortal personally passed on his method of making cakes, and even more than the Qinglou brothel will hang a sign at the door, writing that this is a place that Qinglian Sword Immortal frequents all year round...... This is known as the celebrity effect.
……
……
At this point, everyone also recovered from the shock just now, and Tan Baiming, the leader of the Blood Phoenix Banner, Xuan Yun and Su Xiaoxiao, also surrounded Mu Qiuhuang's side.
"The incompetence of his subordinates has humiliated the young master." talked about Bai Ming and Remnant Yun, and at the same time knelt on the ground with a face of shame and pleaded guilty.
The 1,000 Blood Phoenix Banner sergeants and the 300 soldiers who talked about Bai Ming, seeing their leader/general, knelt on the ground, and then turned over and dismounted one by one, and then knelt down in the distance. Although some of them had not yet connected the half of the low mountain with artificiality at this time, they had also heard part of the conversation between the man and his young master just now, and knew what his young master had been forced to agree to. What they didn't know was that the part of the content that they heard was also deliberately done by Mu Qiuhuang.
Among them, I feel the most ashamed is Tan Baiming, as one of the six giants of Beiyu with heavy troops, plus he is a martial arts master, this kind of identity gathered together, he naturally gave birth to some pride of his own. As the saying goes: "The king humiliates the minister to death", although Mu Qiuhuang had an order just now, but then Mu Qiuhuang was forced to agree to the words, he also heard it clearly, if it was according to normal circumstances, he should have rushed up with a gun to fight with the other party in the last game, but he didn't do anything. Although, part of the reason is because he is concerned about Mu Qiuhuang's safety, but the bigger reason is because he lost the courage to make a move after witnessing the other party slash half of the mountain with a sword. The hand he had just held the spear kept rubbing against the barrel of the gun, and he had the idea of rushing forward desperately several times, but as soon as his steps moved, the trace of reason in his heart emerged and prevailed, and he thought that he was not the opponent of the other party...... However, in the final analysis, he is still a pure soldier, as a soldier, his blood and loyalty, so that he can't use other excuses to deceive himself, he was really scared just now, no matter what else first, just this word "afraid" has become a huge shame in his heart.
"Get up! You also heard it just now, that is a sword immortal, that is not a person, and it is also the number one sword immortal in the world, it is not a shameful thing to bow your head in front of him......" Mu Qiuhuang said calmly, but he didn't feel humiliated at all.
But it's also because this matter is not a bad thing for Mu Qiuhuang, but it is a sense of comfort in the middle of the heart. It's just that this kind of mind can't speak to others at all. And Su Xiaoxiao is different from them, whether it is Bai Ming or Remnant Cloud, they are loyal to Mu Qingen, the Marquis of Beiyu, rather than directly loyal to Mu Qiuhuang. But Su Xiaoxiao is a confidant loyal to Mu Qiuhuang, and in addition, she herself is mainly responsible for things like the intelligence planning around Mu Qiuhuang, so Mu Qiuhuang has never hidden everything from her. It was precisely because she had heard Mu Qiuhuang talk about wanting to withdraw from the marriage before, so she also guessed Mu Qiuhuang's mind thoroughly about what had just happened.
"Childe, are you alright? It turned out that it was Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Taibai just now? But also speaking, if it weren't for him, how could he do such a thing that was not humanly possible? He actually cut off a mountain with a sword, and if the sword he just slashed at us instead of a mountain, I am afraid that all of us present will also be cut in two by him with a sword...... It's scary to think about! Su Xiaoxiao said in shock, but in fact, he cast a clear look at Mu Qiuhuang.
Sure enough, as soon as her words came out, Tan Bai Ming and Remnant Yun's heads lowered, and the shame on her face became even stronger, adding a sense of gratitude to the shame. Because, Su Xiaoxiao's words were very straightforward, if it wasn't for Mu Qiuhuang's refusal to agree to the other party's conditions just now, and if he angered the other party, I was afraid that everyone present would not have a way to live, that is to say, Mu Qiuhuang used his own humiliation in exchange for the safety of everyone present...... This is a kindness from above.
Mu Qiuhuang also instantly understood what she meant, smiled at her slightly, stepped forward to help Tan Bai Ming and Remnant Yun, but did not say anything, this group of people are all first-class iron-blooded soldiers in Beiyu, for their loyalty and bravery, Mu Qiuhuang has no doubt at all, he believes that if he just ordered an attack, this group of people will not hesitate to block in front of him, even if they are invincible, they will definitely die in front of him...... The Beiyu sergeants have been on the battlefield for hundreds of years, and none of the dead and wounded have been hit by arrows in the back.
……
"Young master, where are we going next?" Tan Baiming stepped forward and asked.
Just now Li Taibai had already said that Ji Ruoxue was not here, so the main purpose of his trip to Tingzhou no longer existed, and with such a master, Mu Qiuhuang was also worried about Ji Ruoxue's safety...... Thinking of this, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but become more and more curious about his fiancée. Counting with your fingers, there are four sword immortals in the world, even if you add the "fifth immortal" Zhang Fuling, there are only five people standing at the top of the pyramid. From today on, among these five people, except for the Dao Sword Immortal himself, the remaining four have all seen it, and except for the fallen Sword Immortal, there are only four people left on the tip of the pyramid, even if it is his master Sword Nine Emperors who are slightly inferior to these four people, because this is cultivated to the Heavenly Realm as the dividing line. Take these four as an example, Gu Chenyuan, the crazy sword immortal, has been with him for ten years, and has a half-teacher, half-friend relationship, of course, at that time, it was because he was not suitable for learning swords, so he did not accept himself as an apprentice. Zhang Fuling left a trace of Taoist true qi when repairing the sea of qi for himself, and then taught himself the "Chaos Wuji Gong", and he is now cultivating Zhang Fuling's "Chaos Wuji Gong" internally, and practicing Gu Chenyuan's "Eight Desolation Sword Sutra" and the "Heavenly Sword Nine Styles" of the Nine Emperors of the Sword outside. Speaking of which, although he has never worshipped these two people as teachers, he also has an intimate relationship with Gu Chenyuan and Zhang Fuling, which is different from others...... This is also the place that I have always been most proud of in my heart, because looking at the world, there has never been a person who has been able to practice the exercises of the two Heavenly Realm masters at the same time. But today, after meeting Li Taibai, the pride hidden in Mu Qiuhuang's heart was also hit, and it was also hit by a little girl. The brothers and sisters of the Ji family apprenticed to the Dao Sword Immortal ~ Ou Yezi, it is a well-known thing, if this Li Taibai is added, Ji Ruoxue alone is equivalent to having two sword immortal masters who are also in the heavenly realm, and one of them is still the Qinglian Sword Immortal who ranks first in the world. Moreover, judging from the fact that Li Taibai was able to come to Mu Qiuhuang for Ji Ruoxue's affairs, it can be found that Li Taibai loves Ji Ruoxue, and from the perspective of time, Ji Ruoxue worships Li Taibai as a teacher, which should also happen after she ran away from home this time...... Mu Qiuhuang is now not only a little disappointed that Ji Ruoxue crushed himself at this point, but he is also curious about what is so special about this Ji Ruoxue, who can be accepted as a disciple by two sword immortals at the same time?
……
"I must see Ji Ruoxue." Mu Qiuhuang said this, this time he was no longer because he was going to withdraw from the marriage, but because he wanted to see with his own eyes who this Ji Ruoxue was?
"Young master......" Tan Bai Ming called softly again.
"It's up to you to do the rest! After all, Tingzhou is your own territory. Mu Qiuhuang said lightly.
"Then the young master, why don't we rush back to Tingzhou City first, just so that the young master can have a glimpse of the customs and customs of Tingzhou City......"
"Hmm... Just do as you say! Mu Qiuhuang nodded and agreed.
