Xu Ziling repelled the Goguryeo masters, and none of the copycat robbers who escorted the goods were damaged.

It's just a matter of luck.

If Xu Ziling didn't be able to send out the seventh sword; Or the rest of the men in black were not deterred.

Xu Ziling will definitely die.

It wasn't until the black-clothed people of Goguryeo had escaped for more than ten breaths that the bald man came back to his senses. Just now, he was really frightened, it was like walking in hell. Words can't describe that kind of despair.

Xu Ziling still maintained that standing posture, like a statue.

The bald man walked to Xu Ziling's side and said cautiously, "Young Master Xu......"

Poof.

Xu Ziling spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was pale and bloodless.

The bald man said, "Young Master Xu, are you injured?" ”

The muscles on Xu Ziling's body kept trembling.

"It's just out of strength, it's not a big deal, it's good to regain your strength." Xu Ziling said, "Now that I have no strength, you want to kill me, this may be the only chance." How about it, do you want to think about it? ”

The bald man's eyes flashed, and he smiled awkwardly: "Xu Gongzi said that he was laughing." Where do we dare to kill you? I can't even think about it. ”

The bald man wasn't sure if Xu Ziling was pretending to be testing himself. The bald man doesn't know a few words, but he has been the leader of the cottage and knows how to figure out people's hearts.

If Xu Ziling deliberately concealed it and acted as if nothing happened, maybe the bald man would do it.

But Xu Ziling opened his words, and the bald man had scruples and didn't dare to act rashly.

He can't afford to gamble, and once he loses the bet, he dies.

Xu Ziling pointed to the corpses of the seven first-class martial artists and said, "Take these seven corpses with us, and we will continue on our way." When I go back to Lantian County, I must find out which side they are. ”

…………

Jiangdu.

Qin Zhiyong is comforting Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao has a noble status, and after her husband Yang Guang died, she was controlled by Yuwen Valve, and the whole person lost her spirit.

It wasn't until she saw Qin Zhiyong that Empress Xiao's gaze had a hint of agility.

Removing the identity of the queen, Xiao is actually an ordinary woman.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Qin has already greeted Yuwen Valve, and they don't dare to be disrespectful to Empress Xiao anymore." Later, you can rest easy. ”

Empress Xiao said gratefully, "Thank you, Great Grandmaster. If it weren't for the Great Grandmaster coming to Jiangdu, I don't know what my fate would have been. ”

If Qin Zhiyong doesn't come to Jiangdu, Empress Xiao will have a very miserable life. After the collapse of Yu Wenhua's power, she will be taken to the Eastern Turks by Princess Yicheng until the Tang Dynasty unified the Central Plains, and Li Jing led his troops to destroy the Eastern Turks and took her back to Chang'an again.

Whether it is the emperor and empress, or the pawn of the peddler, they cannot escape the words "birth, old age, sickness and death".

The ultimate problem that practitioners have to solve is actually "birth, old age, sickness and death."

People, as long as they are born, their fate is doomed. But there are no absolutes in the world, and there is a way of heaven that has escaped, let alone fate.

It is not impossible to change your fate.

Character determines destiny.

Life is constantly choosing at the crossroads, what kind of character, what kind of road to choose. It seems that in the dark, there is a thread leading people forward.

If Qin Zhiyong hadn't come into contact with the Confucian art of self-cultivation, had a correct mentality, and set up his ambitions, his fate would have been miserable, maybe Qin Zhiyong had died in the Longmen Inn in the desert, where would there be his current achievements and scenery.

Changing his fate, Qin Zhiyong can be regarded as having a little experience.

But his body is still aging, albeit at a rate that is several times slower than that of ordinary people. In order to live longer, Qin Zhiyong had to practice on thin ice, constantly exploring the true meaning of life and improving his vitality.

The world of spiritual consciousness constructed by Qin Zhiyong has already taken shape. If the spiritual world can be formed, Qin Zhiyong's vitality will definitely be enhanced again.

Li Shimin walked to Qin Zhiyong's side and said, "Mr. Qin, the envoy of the Eastern Turks is here. ”

Empress Xiao got up, saluted Qin Zhiyong, and said, "Since there is a messenger coming to see the Great Grandmaster, then I will retreat first." ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "You don't have to leave, the envoy of the Eastern Turks is here to see you." Second son, please invite the envoy of the Eastern Turks to come in. ”

Sure enough, as Qin Zhiyong expected, the envoy did come to see Empress Xiao.

The envoy of the Eastern Turks glanced at Qin Zhiyong and said, "Who are you, this blind man?" ”

Li Shimin and Empress Xiao's faces changed. The courage of the Turkic envoys is great. Dare to say that Mr. Qin is blind.

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Under Qin Zhiyong, I believe that the envoy should have heard of Qin's name. ”

The messenger said, "It turned out to be the face of the Great Grandmaster. It was my clumsy eyes that I didn't recognize. ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "You are not clumsy, you are doing it on purpose. You're doing this just to humiliate me as a blind person in disguise, it's a boring trick. Don't worry, Qin is not angry. However, envoy, the purpose of your visit to Jiangdu this time, I can guess eight or nine points. ”

The envoy smiled and said, "Everyone in the world knows that Mr. Qin's martial arts are proficient and he defeated the great master of the sword of Goguryeo, Cailin. I didn't expect Mr. Qin to have the ability to tell fortunes. ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "I don't have the ability to tell fortunes. But what is in your heart, I know. Not convinced? Then I'll talk about it, and I'll see if it's accurate. The envoy came this time to propose marriage to your Khan, right? In fact, the proposal is incidental, and the real purpose is to test our Central Plains court. The emperor has just died, and your Turkic envoy has arrived, and it is really a good time. ”

The messenger's face changed dramatically.

Qin Zhiyong smiled slightly: "Your expression tells me that Qin is right." Isn't Princess Yicheng already married to the Eastern Turks? You khans want to marry the princess of the Central Plains Shenzhou again? We don't have a princess to remarry. The Eastern Turks really want to marry, so they can let your princess marry them. Our dowry will certainly not be less. ”

The messenger said, "Impossible. It is impossible for the daughter of our khan to marry into the Central Plains. ”

Qin Zhiyong's face sank, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"Why, the Turks look down on me in the Central Plains?" Qin Zhiyong said coldly, "Speaking of dowry, Princess Yicheng has been married to the Eastern Turks for so many years, and you Khan haven't sent the dowry yet. At that time, when Princess Yicheng got married, the Great Sui court gave a lot of dowry. ”

"At that time, the dowry promised by your Eastern Turks was 20,000 war horses, 50,000 ploughing cattle, and 100,000 fat sheep. Messenger, when you return to the Turks, please tell the Khan and Bi Xuan, and ask them to send the dowry as soon as possible. ”

Li Shimin and Empress Xiao were stunned, did the Turks promise to give these dowry gifts back then? Why don't you know?

Mr. Qin is opening his mouth in the lion.

The messenger's face flushed, and he said, "Impossible. We didn't promise to give so much dowry. ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "I said that your dowry is so much, it's so much. ”

Qin Zhiyong stretched out his hand, and the knife hanging on the wall floated into his hand.

Instilling the innate true qi and spiritual imprint into the blade, Qin Zhiyong handed the knife to the messenger and said, "You take this knife back and hand it over to Bi Xuan." Let's just say that it was a meeting gift from me Qin Zhiyong. If Bi Xuan is not convinced, let him come to Lantian County to see me. Also, you remember, this knife can't be unsheathed until it's handed over to Bi Xuan. If you draw your sword and die, don't blame me. ”

The messenger took the knife and said with some anger: "Mr. Qin, I will convey your words to the Khan and Lord Wuzun. Mr. Qin, although you are a great grandmaster, don't forget, we Turks also have great grandmasters, and there are hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen. ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "Don't forget, in the Central Plains Shenzhou, there is not only a certain great master strong in Qin. ”

After the messenger left.

Li Shimin said: "Mr. Qin, why are you joking with the Turkic envoys? This will anger the Turks. ”

Qin Zhiyong said with a serious face: "I'm not joking. When Princess Yicheng gets married, the Turks should give a dowry. Besides, even if we give in, won't the Turkic cavalry go south? The emperor died, and Shenzhou fell into a situation of warlord secession, and the Turkic Khan and Bi Xuan would definitely take advantage of the fire to rob. ”
