Looking at everything in front of him, Jiuhan's heart was almost cold. Sure enough, everything is as he thought, the world is as black as a crow, and when it comes to themselves, the national interests behind them, everyone's choice is first to protect themselves, rather than eradicate the root cause of cholera.

Don't they know that their inaction today may turn them into tomorrow's minus?

That Shaohong kept laughing and laughing, always talking about others, but he didn't say anything at all. Why, do you just want to remain neutral? Wan Duming and Bingchou are almost going to quarrel, if it weren't for the presence of the Emperor of the Fierce Kingdom, I'm afraid the entire hall would be destroyed by them, right? But what's the use of arguing like this, what you have never said is a response to the Triple Alliance, which has already started a war, and what's the point of pushing each other snowballs.

Does everyone want to be neutral?

The moment this terrible thought appeared, even Nine and a Half himself was taken aback. His eyes slowly swept over everyone present, as if each of them was wearing a different mask on his face, and he couldn't guess or see through what these people were thinking. It's like an ant has met an evil dragon, and in terms of intrigue and power scheming, nine and a half are too young.

The quarrel continued, and unlike everyone else, Jin Zhuzi, the national teacher of the country of the Foxy, never said a word. He is like a cobra quietly waiting in the grass to hunt, motionless and thunderous. Finally, the cobra waited for his prey, and in the moment when the eyes of the nine and a half met them, a sound came out of his long-silent mouth:

"The country of the Fox is willing to support 500,000 stone of grain and grass, but I hope you will forgive me for participating in the war. ”

After Jin Zhuzi finished speaking, he nodded slightly to everyone present, and then got up and walked out. The people behind him were stunned for a moment, and then Wan Duming took the lead in standing up and shouted at Jin Zhuzi: "Jin Zhuzi, this coward, aren't you afraid that in the future, the Jianzhu army will invade your fierce national capital, and the lives of the people up and down will be ruined?"

Wan Duming's words were fierce, but Jin Zhuzi did not retort as fiercely as he imagined, the other party just turned around slowly, and said in an unusually low and hoarse voice, as if trying to suppress emotions: "For the monarch, protect the people." As the teacher of the country and the spokesman of the king, the first thing I want to ensure is the safety and security of the people of my country, not to fight everywhere. ”

"On what basis do you guarantee that your people will not be harmed?"

"I have my own way. ”

"Is it just your evasive attitude today, just your earthworm-like head and tail?"

"Otherwise, can you just keep the calamity away by the good looks of you?"

Wan Duming's words were forcibly interrupted, and it was not only Jin Zhuzi's response that interrupted him, but also the other party's sharp, sharp, and full of a kind of eyes sandwiched between the two emotions of "anger" and "resentment".

Maybe that's disappointment.

The people who had been swept away by this disappointed look fell into a momentary stagnation of their thoughts, and when they reacted, all they saw was the back of the golden bead leaving. With Jin Zhuzi's statement, Shaohong also said that the country of the imprisoned cow could divide a small city called "Anxiong" in the territory and give it to nine and a half, but there was nothing else that could be done.

Divide a small city and give it to Nine and a Half? Do you want this deceased prince to live in peace and recuperate? It's just that all this is no longer very important to Nine and a Half, and a series of blows almost made him lose his soul and be disappointed. Since no one is willing to help the negative who has been destroyed, should he live for the rest of his life?

Ignoring anyone's words, Nine Half got up alone and walked towards the door of the main hall.

There was a bit of a stumble on the foot.

Inside the palace, the long pavilion, by the lake.

Nine and a half sat here alone, staring closely at the scattered leaves on the lake, undulating and unpredictable. My fate is like that leaf, life and death are not up to me, but can only be determined by heaven. The leaves swayed slightly with the waves on the surface of the lake, and his life was uncertain with the decisions of the other five countries. In fact, if someone wanted to kill him, I'm afraid he would have died 10,000 times by this time, right?

The more I thought about it, the more hopeless I felt, and the man's head sank more and more.

His head was lowered, and his gaze fell on the surface of the lake. The lake is sparkling, and the water seems to reflect the face of a woman. Jiu and a half didn't care about it at first, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt wrong: How can I be a little familiar with this person's face?

"Wu Liangzi ???" with an exclamation, Jiu and a half jumped up at once. When he stood up and looked at it, sure enough, the person standing in front of him was Wu Liangzi! The Wu Liangzi who had led him to break the epidemic and killed the previous monarch of the country under the hegemony alone! It was still that familiar eyebrow, Wu Liangzi was standing opposite him at the moment and looked at him with a smile.

"Long time no see. ”

"Why are you here?"

"Shizun is an envoy on behalf of the country of the Imprisoned Ox, is there anything wrong with me coming along?"

"You, you, you ......" In fact, Jiu Ban also knew that Wu Liangzi's arrival was natural and reasonable, but after all, it was an acquaintance, and Jiu Ban's impression of her before was a little complicated, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

There was a breeze on the lakeside, Wu Liangzi pulled the ends of his hair that was blown by the wind with his left hand, and said, "I heard that this meeting of the five countries is all because of you?"

As soon as he mentioned the meeting of the five countries, Jiuhan's eyes dimmed. Yes, it's all because of him, what can he do, and in the end, it's not like there is no result?, but although his eyes dimmed for a moment, he responded immediately: "Yes, it's a pity that the result is not very good." ”

"How come? I heard that the Emperor of the Fox Kingdom wants to fully support your recovery?"

"Tsk......" Although he didn't think much about it, Jiuhan still couldn't help but let out a sneer. "It is true that the Emperor of the Fierce Kingdom is willing to give my full support to the restoration of the country, but what about the other countries? Except for the Prince of Pujiao, Wan Duming, the other three countries all maintain a neutral attitude. And your master, Shaohong National Teacher, is even more interesting. Speaking of this, Jiu Ban stared at Wu Liangzi's eyes and then continued: "She is just willing to give me a city called 'Anxiong' in your country of imprisoned cattle, and she doesn't say anything else. ”

"Wait...... What is the name of that city you are talking about?"

"Yasuo. ”

Hearing the word "Anxiong", Wu Liangzi's expression suddenly became cloudy. Jiu Ban watched her expression change, but he didn't ask anything more, but quietly waited for the following. Finally, Wu Liangzi finally opened his mouth: "That small city called 'Anxiong' is a closed city of Shizun......"

That small city named Anxiong turned out to be Shaohong's lockdown? Now it was Jiuhan's turn to be shocked. On the other side, Wu Liangzi seemed to start talking about his master Shaohong.

"Actually, do you know, although the country of my imprisoned cattle claims to be the first in national power, it is actually not as good as before. The monarch has been in retreat for more than ten years, and all the affairs in the country are taken care of by the master alone. Although it seems that the country of prisoners seems to be glamorous from the outside, it has long been a waste of political affairs and civil strife, and the master has already been emaciated. ”

"You may think that the small city named Anxiong is not mentioned in your plan to restore the country, but in fact, it is the sealed city of my master, and it is the place where my master is ready to leave it for his retirement. ”

"No, isn't it, has the country of imprisoned cattle declined to this point?" Hearing Wu Liangzi's words, Jiu Ban couldn't help but exclaim. No wonder Shaohong refused to give him more help and wanted to stifle the signs of danger in the country of the hegemon in advance, it turned out that the national strength of the prisoner cow to govern the country had decayed to such a point, which was simply embarrassing.

Wu Liangzi seemed to want to say something, but suddenly he seemed to be choked by something, and his eyes lowered and he didn't dare to speak. Jiu Ban noticed her abnormality, he looked back at her eyes just now, and sure enough, Shaohong had already appeared behind Jiu Ban.

National teacher Shaohong, this woman maintained her own usual dignity and grace, stopped Jiuhan's desire to speak and stopped, and then only used two sentences to make Jiuhan no longer dare to have any contempt for her.

The first sentence is: "The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the country of the cow is still the same cow, so there is no need to worry about this." ”

The second sentence is: "Nine and a half, if you still have the heart to restore the country, then continue your method of borrowing from heaven." ”

Can Shaohong see what I'm doing now? In fact, when the word "borrowing the sky" came into his ears, Jiuban's heart was already half cold, and cold sweat broke out all over his body in an instant. What he could clearly feel was that at that moment, even Wu Liangzi's eyes on the side had completely changed.

Since she could see that I had used the method of borrowing heaven, could she also know about other things about me?

seems to see Jiuhan's concerns, but Shaohong is still calm. She just raised her right hand slightly, touched it lightly over her eyes, and two rays of silver light seeped out of her eyes. Then with another wipe, Shaohong's eyes returned to normal, no different from before.

Looking at Jiu Ban's puzzled eyes, Wu Liangzi, who was on the side without waiting for Shaohong to speak, preemptively explained: "Master's eyes are inherently psychic, so he can see many things that ordinary people can't see. ”

Waving his hand to stop Wu Liangzi's words, Shaohong looked at Jiuhan and said, "So now, Jiuhan Prince can eliminate hostility, right?"

Without waiting for Jiuhan to respond, Shaohong continued: "Although you are talented, borrowing the method of heaven is dangerous and abnormal, and you will be worried about your life at every turn, are you sure you want to continue?"

"Of course. The word "of course" came out of the mouth of the nine and a half without the slightest hesitation. As a joke, do you still need to hesitate to recover the motherland?

Hearing Jiu Ban's firm answer, Shaohong quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Her tone was a little relieved, and she said, "Indeed, you are very suitable for this method. The road to borrowing from heaven is difficult and abnormal, but the harvest is also huge, and it cannot be completed unless people with great perseverance and obsession. If your obsession is not gone, keep going. ”

"Bang bang. Very suddenly, the three of them suddenly remembered a burst of applause. Following the sound of applause, I saw a person walking out while clapping his hands. That person was none other than the new monarch of the Hegemony Country, Bingchou.

"It's all here, everyone?" said Bingchou as he walked out with a smile, clapping his hands and his steps under his feet were not chaotic at all, and he looked very calm.

After all, it was the new monarch of the country of hegemony, and Jiu Ban hurriedly took a step forward and bowed and said, "I don't know if it's ....."

"Okay, okay, don't be polite, it's not going to be clearer at this point, right?"

"What ......"

"Don't pretend to be stupid my friend, do you remember how my father died?" At this moment, Bingchou's voice turned out to be extremely vicious, as if he was ruthlessly controlling himself not to do anything. "At least two of them were present when my father died, right, my Master Shaohong?"

Things have developed to this point, and it seems that they are gradually getting out of Shaohong's control. That's right, the prince of the overlord at that time was kind-hearted, and he was better able to govern a country than the overlord monarch, and he would not break the ancient covenant. At that time, in Shaohong's eyes, assassinating the old king and preparing the new king was indeed the best choice, but the only thing she didn't calculate was that it was right that Bingchou was kind-hearted, but she paid more attention to the word loyalty and filial piety. Besides, there are many things that cannot be done when the prince is the prince, but how can he not do it when the prince becomes the king? Bingchou, who used the power of a country to investigate, did not spend much effort to find out the identity of the original assassin - Wu Liangzi and Jiuhan, thus creating such an embarrassing situation.

The atmosphere was dreary and unusually dreary. The fact that the king of a country full of hatred dared to come alone was clearly that he had no intention of putting revenge on the spot, or that he was hatching a larger plan or a greater conspiracy.

In the end, Bingchou didn't say anything, but left without looking back after stabilizing his emotions. Looking at the back of the man leaving, Jiuhan's heart couldn't help but chill for a while. Who knows what such a person will do?

Only half an hour after Bingchou left, Yue Mangong appeared on the shore of the lake where Jiuhan met Shaohong. Unlike usual, the moment Jiuhan entered Yue Mangong's field of vision, he almost knocked the latter's jaw to the ground in shock.

What kind of scene was that: Nine and a Half stepped on his long sword and hung three feet in the air, staggering and barely moving forward under Shaohong's guidance. What was different from usual was that Yue Mangong couldn't even feel the slightest trace of qi on Jiuhan's body.

What's the situation, Shaohong is teaching the Nine and a Half Technique, and the Nine and a Half worships Shaohong as a teacher?

After the two sides met the ceremony, Shaohong took the initiative to talk about this matter without waiting for Yue Mangong to ask Shaohong: "I am teaching some relatively basic techniques in Jiuhan, and it would be a pity if his majestic qi was wasted." ”

"Master Shaohong also saw it?"

"Yes, yes. ”

It seems that Shaohong and Yue Mangong both understood what the other party wanted to say, but now it was the turn of Jiuban in the clouds: "Brother Yue, what are you talking about, why can't I understand it?"

Yue Mangong and Shaohong looked at each other and smiled, and then explained to Jiuhan: "Brother Jiuhan, you probably know that some geniuses have physiques that are different from ordinary people, right?"

"Yes, I know that. ”

"There are many different physiques in this world, some physiques are good at cultivating the spirit, such as the 'Lingyun Body', and some are naturally suitable for practicing martial arts, and their bodies are strong and they are able to cultivate martial arts for a long time, such as the 'Hegemony Body'. I'll just be honest, nine-and-a-half of your physique is actually one in a million 'Longxing Body'. The most peculiar thing about this Longxing body is that it is born with heaven and earth luck, and once it is opened, it is almost like a boat pushing a boat down the river to do anything, which is really a godsend for cultivation!"

"But..... I know that. Yue Mangong, who was originally happy, was directly stunned after getting Jiuhan's answer. "Master Shaohong told me about this just now. ”

Told you? You didn't say it earlier, you have to let me explain it again! I told you that you are still pretending to be simple, okay, good, nine and a half, I didn't see that you are such a person, I can see through you!

Although 10,000 *** flew by in his heart, Yue Mangong still maintained his excellent self-cultivation and did not complain about it in person. He just looked angry and aggrieved, looking at Jiu and a half with a look of wanting to say and stopping, a little helpless.

Shaohong's smile, the innocence of the nine and a half and the desire of Yue Mangong to speak stopped, and the three expressions of these three people were superimposed almost to produce a chemical reaction, making Wu Liangzi, who was standing on the side, laugh with a "poof".

There's no way, Wu Liangzi herself is a girl, how can she bear it when she sees such an interesting scene?

So for the rest of the morning, the nine and a half were almost spent in Shaohong's torture. After all, the flying of the sword is just a small way in the arts, and there are many more things that Shaohong, who has studied the magic thoroughly, has to teach him.
