Chapter 7: The Unfathomable (Part II)
"Uh, it hurts. ”
One of the silver-armored guards woke up leisurely.
"Bai Zongqi!" The county lord shouted in surprise.
There were two men standing in front of her today, one was a mysterious young strange man whose strength had reached the level of a sword saint, and the other was Bai Zongqi, who had been with her since before, and today he knew that he would die, but he still stepped forward.
Compared with the two, although this mysterious sword master saved himself in the end, he respected him more, and in comparison, Bai Zongqi was really like a relative.
"County Lord," Bai Zongqi smiled weakly, "It's good that you're okay." Bai Zongqi struggled to sit up, but failed because of his lack of strength.
The county lord hurriedly stepped forward to help, Bai Zongqi supported his knee joint with one hand, and seemed to be not very stable because of the knee injury, but with the county lord's fragrant body beside him, Bai Zongqi barely stabilized his figure.
This picture happened to be seen by Wu Ming, who was still sighing for the battle just now, looking at this "warm picture", Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and always felt that something was not right.
The servants who had survived the catastrophe were happily busy tidying up, and they had no time to take care of this, Wu Ming frowned and thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up, just now Bai Zongqi's sword was broken, and the fist of the bull-headed owl beast smashed on his chest, it shouldn't be a leg injury.
Although Bai Zongqi may have just woken up and couldn't stand steadily, it is not that he is still holding his knees, and Bai Zongqi's painful expression seems to be a little too contrived, even if he is half-dead, it should only be a prostration, and he can still spend so much strength to support such a powerful expression.
Is it possible that you can get more work-related injury wages like this, this is too hard, Wu Ming pondered with bad intentions, and then a jaw-dropping thing happened, Bai Zongqi pretended to be physically exhausted, and was about to fall to the ground again, the county lord hurriedly stepped forward to hold on, Bai Zongqi's hand on his knee suddenly pulled out a dagger from the silver armor knee pad, and stabbed the county lord's heart.
Because Wu Ming was close to the two of them, his eyes were quick, so he grabbed the dagger directly first.
Just kidding! If the county lord dies because of this, all these desperate things will be done in vain, and I heard from the servants that this county lord's status is quite respectable, and if she dies, these servants will also be blamed, and the lord will die with the servants.
The county lord and every servant who served the county lord had an immortal jade, which was placed in the safest palace and guarded by the strongest and most heartfelt personal guards under the county lord. But the immortal jade is connected to the natal life, and if the jade is broken, the body will die, and the body jade will also be destroyed. If the county lord's immortal jade is broken, then the immortal jade of the other servants will also be crushed.
Although this rule is cruel, it is the rights and interests held by every nobleman in this world, and after condensing the immortal jade, it can avoid all kinds of diseases, and can save a lot of labor and illness, so most powerful people will condense the immortal jade, but its shortcomings are also obvious, if all the people in this convoy die, then they will be equivalent to returning to the situation of "surviving in the wild", and this is not what Wu Ming is happy to see.
Bai Zongqi's dagger stopped two inches away from the county lord, and he couldn't move in any more, and the owner of the hand holding Bai Zongqi's white blade was grinning, "Don't worry, I won't let you hurt her." Wu Ming held the white blade tightly, but the white blade couldn't cut into Wu Ming's hand.
Seeing that he couldn't strike a blow, Bai Zongqi immediately distanced himself from the two.
"Bai Zongqi!"
An expression of surprise, shame, and pain appeared on the county lord's face, and she couldn't help but tremble, "I treat you well, why do you treat me like this." ”
Bai Zongqi's face showed a gloomy look, "Because you deserve to die, my father was executed by your father, Prince Yuexian, and I don't have the ability to deal with your father, who is heavily protected in the palace, but he made me feel the pain of losing my father, and I can naturally let him feel the pain of losing his daughter." ”
The county lord deserves to be the county lord, but after hearing Bai Zongqi's reason, he regained his calm in a short time, "If you do this, aren't you afraid that your immortal jade in the palace will be shattered?"
Bai Zongqi smiled, "My immortal jade has already been stolen by me, and after refining the immortal jade at that time, I replaced my immortal jade with the immortal jade that had been hidden in my sleeve for a long time. ”
"Then why did you have so many opportunities to assassinate before, but you didn't do it yet, and waited until today to do it?"
Bai Zongqi laughed, "Do you think I don't want to?" I want to kill you every day, I can't wait to eat your flesh and chew your bones, but you have always carried the Guardian Jade, even if I do it, I can't help you." That's why I found this minotaur to kill you for me. ”
"I'm wearing chain mail, the bull-headed owl beast can't kill me, I just need to pretend to be dead at that time, but I didn't expect the bull-headed owl beast to only shatter your guardian jade, but it didn't hurt you at all, and I didn't expect that a random person picked up on the road turned out to be a sword saint. I can't kill you today, but sooner or later, you'll die at my hands. After that, Bai Zongqi said viciously, and he didn't linger longer, and directly hid in the depths of the forest.
The county lord was silent for a while, then turned around, and owed slightly, "Engong made you smile, I didn't expect that for so many years, I have been raising tigers, if it weren't for Engong's two rescues, I'm afraid I would have been out of this world a long time ago." Please forgive me for not introducing myself before, my name is Zheng Xianyue, I am the lord of Mingyue County of the Wanmos Empire, and the daughter of King Yuexian. If there is any request from Engong, I can put it forward directly, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to meet it. ”
"Don't call me Engong, it's too awkward, just call me Wu Ming. Wu Ming waved his hand and said, being shouted by such a beautiful person as "Engong" one by one, he felt that his legs were soft, "But the name Zheng Xianyue is really good." ”
"Thank you for your compliment," Seeing that Wu Ming was so clumsy in dealing with women, Zheng Xianyue couldn't help but chuckle again and again, and the unhappiness of being betrayed was also slightly calmed down, "Lord Wu Ming's strength is so high, I don't know where the master is? ”
"Master?" Wu Ming was stunned, he had no sect or faction, he came to this world inexplicably, and he seemed to have become quite powerful inexplicably, how could there be any teacher.
Looking at Wu Ming's sad face, the county lord secretly said that he was reckless, there are many big sects that cultivate disciples, and they will let their disciples go out to practice, and they are not allowed to report the name of the master until they have to. Because once the master is involved, some ordinary people will be afraid of the power of the teacher, and they will do everything possible to please the disciples, and some enemies will take advantage of this to make trouble, which will not only not be beneficial to the disciples' experience, but will have considerable harm.
