After Cui Jie walked out of the crowd, a man in black followed him and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, is the plan to infiltrate the Stormfall Gate continue?"
Cui Jie squinted his eyes and said coldly: "After this incident, the Stormfall Gate will definitely track down my identity, I really didn't expect Ye Qiu to appear here, if you want to control the Stormfall Gate, you can only think of other ways." ”
The man in black asked again, "On the wolf lord's side, how do you explain?"
Cui Jie said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth. ”
The man in black nodded and asked, "This Ye Qiu, should we get rid of it?"
Cui Jie stopped, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't make any moves yet, since Ye Qiu appeared here, that strong man must also be nearby, in the current situation, let's not act rashly." ”
The man in black nodded and said no more.
Cui Jie continued: "Closely monitor Ye Qiu's actions, he sneaked into the Wind Fall Gate, presumably because the Wind Fall Gate's Mountain Protector Dragon, the purpose is actually similar to ours, when necessary, help him, if the Wind Fall Gate does not have this Mountain Protector Dragon, it will be beneficial and harmless to us." ”
The man in black answered, and his body disappeared out of thin air.
Cui Jie stood in place and said to himself: "Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu, why do you say you have to cultivate your vitality, wait for you to help me solve the mountain protection dragon of the Wind Fall Gate, let alone Wu Shisheng, even the immortals can't protect you." ”
Zhao State has been heavy in the past dynasties, especially during the period of Emperor Zhao Wu, wantonly recruited strong people from all over the world, and also set an iron law, as long as it is a strong person above the Lingzong, all crimes can be pardoned in Zhao State, at the beginning of the promulgation of this law, it was opposed by many people, many people felt that this would make the entire Zhao State no longer orderly, but gradually, many people found that this day the law did bring great benefits to Zhao State.
Many strong people from other countries will rush to Zhao State to work hard for Zhao State, and the strong people of Zhao State are also very hard to cultivate, which makes Zhao State set off a cultivation boom, at that time, most of the strong people on the entire Holy Ruins Continent went out from Zhao State, and no one dared to violate Zhao State during that period.
Many people believe that if it weren't for the existence of a hundred strong and thousands of gates, the Zhao State at that time would have ruled the entire Holy Ruins Continent.
It is precisely because of the top 100 and thousands of sects that Emperor Wu of Zhao also set up the Divine General's Mansion, and the responsibility of the Divine General's Mansion is for these so-called cultivation sects, and the Divine General's Mansion still exists today, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Divine General's Mansion that in Zhao State, there are very few decent big sects or the kind of big families that cover the sky with one hand, and even the academy is under the control of Zhao State.
And at this moment, the master of the Divine General's Mansion stood respectfully in front of a woman in purple, looking extremely cautious.
This purple-clothed woman with fluttering sleeves has grown up in the palace since she was a child, has no name, no identity, but she is the only person who can follow Princess Yueyang, the entire Zhao Kingdom knows that whether it is His Majesty or the queen, they are extremely fond of Her Royal Highness the princess, especially the old ancestor in the palace, and even treats this Princess Yueyang as the pearl of her palm, even if it is His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as she dares to let Her Royal Highness the princess be wronged, it must be the end of not being able to eat and walk around.
At this moment, the purple-clothed woman said slowly: "General Yang, Your Highness said, no matter what method you use, you must keep the powerhouses of the Wind Fall Gate and Ye Qiu in Qijing for half a month, and I came today just to convey His Highness's orders." ”
The most powerful general of the Zhao State hurriedly lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, please rest assured, Your Highness, even if the last general is crushed, he will definitely complete his mission." ”
The woman in purple nodded, "In this way, I will go back to my life." ”
This General Yang made a "please" to clean up, and then personally sent the woman to the gate of the Divine General's Mansion, looking at the back of the purple-clothed woman, her big sleeves fluttering, which made the Divine General sigh a little.
Once upon a time, there was also such a woman, with fluttering sleeves, who used bloody means to keep the foundation of the Zhao State for hundreds of years, and shocked those sect scholars who were ready to move.
That woman is the hero in the hearts of countless Zhao people, and the nightmare of countless clans;
It wasn't until the purple-clothed woman completely disappeared that the god general of the Zhao Kingdom slowly spit out two words: "It's really like!"
A fat man walked up behind him and wondered, "General, isn't she just a dead soldier, why do you have to be so respectful to her?"
The god general smiled and said, "You don't understand. ”
He then said in a deep voice: "Wear the order to those strong men of the family sect, no matter what method they use, they will rush to Qijing within three days, if it is half a day late, then don't think about continuing to show off their power in Zhao State, and transfer all the forbidden troops back to Qijing, without my order, no one can leave Qijing for half a step." ”
The fat man answered, and withdrew.
On the city wall, five steps and a carved bow, ten steps and a crossbow, are all powerful shooting weapons, this kind of weapon will also appear on the battlefield, and they are all used to target the strong in the enemy army.
On the Holy Ruins Continent, this kind of machine crossbow is called the "Wind and Fire Crossbow", because on the iron spear-like arrows, wind attributes and fire attributes are added, which are fast and lethal, even if they are strong at the Spirit Venerable level, they can be easily shot.
Legend has it that the Heavenly Star Pavilion, which created this kind of machine crossbow, once used this machine crossbow to shoot and kill the Spirit Emperor powerhouse, and the Heavenly Star Pavilion was able to rank among the top 100, and this machine crossbow played a certain role.
It's just that after this kind of machine crossbow flows into the armies of various countries, because of the change in craftsmanship, the lethality has weakened a lot, of course, it can be said that it is more than enough to deal with the strong below the Lingzun, after all, the strong above the Lingzun, very few people will join the military.
And the entire Zhao State knows that this team of golden armor is directly under the command of the Divine General's Mansion, and it is specially used to deal with those reckless rivers and lakes, and now this army is so fanfare, it can only mean that the Divine General's Mansion wants to deal with a certain strong man in Qijing.
At this time, many of the strong men in Qijing were panicked, for fear that the spearhead of this army would be pointed at them.
This is Zhao Guo, when it comes to Zhao Guo, everyone will say such a sentence Zhao Guo is heavy on martial arts, but there are no rivers and lakes.
And at the foot of the Imperial City, the test is still continuing, although the powerhouse of the Stormfall Gate has some doubts about Ye Qiu, but he has promised to take him back to the Stormfall Gate before, so at this moment, he is still as enthusiastic about Ye Qiu as before, how to deal with Ye Qiu, he has to wait to find out his identity and purpose, and then hand it over to the head of the sect to decide.
And people's eyes when they looked at Ye Qiu were full of endless envy and admiration, because everyone knew that from today on, Ye Qiu would be a disciple of the Stormfall Sect, and this alone was a great honor.
As time continued, at dusk, all the tests were finally completed, and only seven teenagers in the huge Qi Jing passed all the tests and became disciples of the Stormfall Sect.
According to what the powerhouse of the Stormfall Gate said, these seven people will be given a day to pack up and salute, and the morning after tomorrow, they will gather here, and then rush to the Stormfall Gate, and from then on, their fate will be tied to the Stormfall Gate.
This is the essential difference between the sect and the academy, in the entire Holy Ruins Continent, everyone knows that after entering the academy to cultivate, after leaving the academy, they don't have to worry about the survival of the academy, from now on, the world is big, where do you want to go, and as a disciple of the sect, you must be tied to the sect in this life, of course, if you cultivate to a certain extent, you naturally don't need to be bound by the sect, and you can even control the entire sect.
Even so, people's hearts are actually flesh and blood, otherwise, there would be no story of Wen Shisheng taking the sword into Gaoyang.
Although he passed the assessment of the Stormfall Gate, Ye Qiu was still a little worried, after all, he did not ask for the opinion of his own teacher on this matter, and the old guy disappeared without a trace as soon as he entered the city, and he didn't know when he would come back.
After returning to the inn, these worries were gone, because as soon as Ye Qiu entered the inn, he saw the old man in the technical building, the old guy was cross-legged, eating melon seeds there.
Ye Qiu stepped forward quickly, and before he could speak, the old guy spoke first: "The idea of sneaking into the Stormfall Gate is good, but have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if your cultivation of the Yuan Qi is revealed?"
Ye Qiu scratched his head, sat down and said, "I really didn't think about this, I just think that after sneaking into the Wind Fall Gate, I will definitely be able to find out some important news, which is much better than us rushing through it recklessly." ”
The old man nodded, but stopped talking.
Ye Qiu asked, "Teacher, who have you been going to meet?"
The old man said slowly while sipping melon seeds: "An old friend, I haven't seen him for many years, and I want to ask for a few glasses of wine." ”
Ye Qiu nodded, and thought for a while before saying, "The Stormfall Gate will leave early in the morning after tomorrow, how will you enter the Stormfall Gate by then?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Since I have decided to sneak in, then I won't go in, when you get to the Wind Fall Gate, you can just cultivate with peace of mind, and when the time comes, I will appear." ”
The old man suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "But I'm afraid you won't be able to leave, do you see those soldiers outside?"
Ye Qiu nodded, he had always wondered why Qi Jing suddenly changed into these soldiers in golden battle armor, he actually didn't know much about Zhao Guo, even the iron law promulgated by Emperor Zhao Wu was told to him by the old guy in front of him when he came.
The old man continued: "These people are the Divine General's Mansion I told you, the combat power of this army is much stronger than your Cloud Cloud Empire's Snow Cloud Rider and White Feather Guard, and these guys have been studying ways to deal with the Spirit Warrior powerhouse, and they are equipped with the Heavenly Star Pavilion's special Wind and Fire Crossbow, so it is really not difficult for them to leave those guys from the Wind Fall Gate." ”
Ye Qiu frowned and said, "They want to make a move against the Wind Fall Gate?"
The old man shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, anyway, you can rest assured, with me, it won't hurt you in the Divine General's Mansion." ”
Before Ye Qiu could speak, three people came to the inn, and as soon as these three people appeared, they shouted directly: "Ye Gongzi......"
Ye Qiu looked back, it was the three people he met in the restaurant last time, and it was the man who called him An Yunhai with a full face, as for the name of the young man, he said it yesterday, but Ye Qiu had forgotten it.
In short, these three people are Qi Jing's family surnamed An, because the family has faced the crisis of extinction, so they used the Wind Fall Gate to save the family, but it is a pity that the qualifications of the eldest young master of the An family are mediocre and he failed to pass the assessment of the Wind Fall Gate.
These people suddenly came to look for him, which made Ye Qiu a little confused, but he still smiled and said, "Why is Brother An here?"
The three of them glanced at each other, and did not answer this question, but said apologetically: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Ye for becoming a disciple of the Wind Fall Sect. ”
A few people exchanged polite greetings, and just as they were about to get to the point, another person came outside, a woman in purple with big sleeves fluttering.
The woman walked straight to Ye Qiu, then bowed slightly, and said indifferently: "Young Master Ye, our Royal Highness the princess is invited." ”
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess is looking for me?"
The woman in purple shook her head and said, "I am only responsible for conveying the will of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
The old man's eyes kept staring at the woman with fluttering sleeves, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Like, really like." ”
As soon as he spoke, the woman in purple looked at him, and then showed an imperceptible smile, which was very good.
The old man looked at Ye Qiu and said, "Go ahead." ”
Ye Qiu nodded, and then said apologetically to the three members of the An family: "I'm really sorry, I'll make amends to the three of them when I come back next time." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's okay, since it was invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess, let's wait for Ye Gongzi to come back." ”
Ye Qiu followed the woman in purple out of the inn, and the three members of the An family stood in place, not planning to leave, obviously really waiting for Ye Qiu to come back.
The middle-aged man hugged his fist at the old man in the technical building, but the old man had already closed his eyes and continued to swallow melon seeds.
The three of them sat down at a nearby table, and the slender young man spoke first, "Uncle An, can this Ye Qiu really help us?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said slowly: "If he agrees, maybe he can really solve the crisis of the An family, but our attitude towards him yesterday ...... Hey, I hope Ye Gongzi is a generous person. ”
When he said this, he looked at the old man on the side intentionally or unintentionally, but the old man kept his eyes closed, sipping melon seeds, leisurely, and didn't seem to hear anything.
The young man said: "It's a big deal, I'll just apologize to him, I didn't know that he was a strong person in the Spirit Sect at the time." ”
The man with a meaty face said: "Ye Gongzi looks like the kind of good person who acts bravely, he will definitely help us." ”
The old man in the technical building sighed: "If you think that kid will help you, you are wrong, I advise you, it is better to quickly dispel this idea and think of other ways." ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and looked at the old man at the same time, but the old man was still snorting melon seeds, closing his eyes, the young man was just about to get angry, but the middle-aged man stopped him, and then got up and hugged his fists and said, "This senior knows Ye Gongzi?"
The old man put the melon seeds in his hand on the table, opened his eyes and said, "Sort of." ”
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "In this case, Ye Gongzi will come back in a while, and ask the seniors to help say good things, as long as Ye Gongzi agrees to help us settle down this time, our An family will be grateful to Dade, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." ”
The old man asked, "Tell me what you want that kid to do?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and after a short thought, he said: "Our An family offended a faction surnamed Liu in Qijing, who knows that this Liu family has the support of the Divine General's Mansion behind it, so we want to ask Ye Gongzi to come forward to communicate with the Liu family as a disciple of the Wind Fall Sect, and give our family a way to live." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "This is not simple. ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "We can't help it, otherwise we don't dare to bother Ye Gongzi, after all, it is the foundation laid by the ancestors who worked hard, if it is destroyed, we people will become unfilial descendants, not to mention, the lives of hundreds of people in the An family, I am afraid it will be ......."
The old man thought for a moment, and then said, "It's not impossible to help you, but you have to promise me one condition." ”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Senior, please say, as long as we can do it, we will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire." ”
The old man got up and said, "What you want to do, someone will tell you in the future, you just have to remember that no matter who you are, no matter what you are asked to do, you have to do it, I can help you today, and he can easily destroy you one day." ”
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, no matter who listened to this kind of words, he would feel uncomfortable, but now that they have a request for help, he naturally doesn't dare to show it.
The old man grabbed the melon seeds on the table, leaned over, and walked out of the inn slowly, and the lights were bright on the street.
After that night, Qi Jing no longer had the surname Liu.
Early the next morning, the news that someone had washed the Liu family quickly spread throughout Qi Jing, but Qi Jing did not make any disturbances, although the Liu family was supported by the Divine General's Mansion, but the Divine General's Mansion did not move at all.
The huge Qi Jing, it seems that only the An family has heard the news.
And when the old man left the inn and rushed to Liu's house, Ye Qiu was being taken to a restaurant by the woman in purple with fluttering sleeves.
After entering the restaurant, the woman in purple walked in front of Ye Qiu's left, led Ye Qiu up the stairs, and then turned into a corridor, in front of the door of a private room, there were two maidservants, after seeing Ye Qiu and the two, the two maidservants pushed open the door, and then stood back in place.
The woman in purple stood in front of the door and said inside, "Your Highness, Ye Gongzi is invited." ”
Ye Qiu looked at the room, a woman in yellow was standing in front of the window, with her back to herself, it was the princess of Zhao who looked very similar to Ye Dong.
Ye Qiu couldn't figure out until this moment, what did this princess of Zhao mean by inviting him to come, it could be said that he had a grudge against this princess of Zhao country, he didn't think that this unreasonable princess Her Royal Highness invited him to dinner.
At this moment, the princess of Zhao Kingdom slowly turned around, first glanced at Ye Qiu, and then ordered, "It's time to serve." ”
The woman in purple clapped her hands twice, and in the empty restaurant, countless maids walked in out of thin air, each with wine and food in their hands, and some rare and delicious Ye Qiu had never even heard of it.
Looking at the table that was filled with delicacies in an instant, Ye Qiu's heart was a little weak, did Her Royal Highness the princess really just invite herself to dinner? Or was this the rumored Hongmen Banquet?
