A forest at the foot of the mountain is covered with hibiscus all year round, and as long as the wind is good, it is covered with a sea of crimson flowers, attracting many birds, birds, bees and butterflies. It's just that the branches are thorny, so people don't dare to get too close.

At this time, a woman in a plain white dress was standing among the flowers, carefully plucking a flower and putting it between her nose to sniff.

In the distance, a simply decorated carriage that can be seen everywhere on the street is waiting. The horse kicked the ground impatiently, and casually chewed a few hibiscus, but he felt a little unpalatable, and spit it out with a snort.

Wu Yan and Xiang Qi walked to the edge of the forest, looking at the lonely wandering figure, their mood was a little complicated. Before leaving, Wu Yan avoided Xiangqi, borrowed a hair from Baoxiang, Yang Zheng, Feng'er and others, and solemnly stuffed it in a brocade box.

Walking in front of the woman, Zhao Ling turned around, with a smile on his face, "Wu Gan, meet again."

Looking at him, Wu Gan's originally serious face quickly changed to a smiling face, "Master Weng, don't come unharmed, you are becoming more and more handsome."

Zhao Linglian walked in front of Wu Gan, turned her head and said, "You stand down, I have something to talk about with Wu Gan alone."

Xiang Qi glanced at Zhao Ling, and there was some uneasiness in his eyes. Zhao Ling smiled lightly, revealing two small dimples, "Don't worry, although Wu Yan is not a good person, he can't do anything to bully a weak woman."

Xiang Qi didn't say a word, but retreated to the carriage, looking at everything from a distance.

"Lord Zhao Weng, today's Shinto Daoist will not be looking for me to catch up, just say anything." Wu Yan arched his hand casually, and his body tensed a little. The woman in front of her seems to be as delicate as a flower, but in fact she is covered with thorns, and she doesn't want to be stung instead of picking flowers.

Zhao Ling got up and walked towards the forest, twisting the hibiscus between his fingers from time to time. Wu Yan had to follow closely, carefully probing the movements around him along the way.

"Wu Gan, you and I have known each other for a long time, and we are old men, after killing each other for so many years, you are no longer the little cucumber you were back then, and I am not an ignorant and affectionate girl. Let's put it this way, how about you and I reconcile."

Zhao Ling walked quietly, and saw that Wu Yan wanted to speak, but he said again: "You and I are actually somewhat similar in nature, both are shameless people, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Now that you have returned with honor, you will soon become a nobleman, and you will be on an equal footing with me. Why don't we join forces and create a great career in Zhao Kingdom."

Wu Gen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Lord Weng praised it falsely, what kind of person I, Wu Gen, don't you know in your heart. I have no family background, two have no connections, and three have no wealth, how can I be on an equal footing with you, I don't know what Lord Weng has taken a fancy to me."

Zhao Ling was like a flower, "What did you like, do you remember the narrow alley in Dingyuan City, from the first meeting of the day, I knew that you are a person without a king, a father and a person, and you will not be willing to live under others."

It is precisely because you have no king that you will not take these powers into account. It is precisely because you have no father that you will do whatever it takes to manage your past by any means. It is precisely because you are unruly that you will not be bound by the shackles of the world. And so do I."

Zhao Ling's voice was a little louder, "Although I was born in the royal family, as a woman, I can't inherit the throne. But my ambitious father wanted to go south to the world, so I was introduced to the world of cultivation.

But as a person who can't even cultivate, how can he gain a foothold in this self-esteemed world of cultivation, only by embarking on the path of cultivation is possible. That's why I will unscrupulously borrow Zhang Qing's hand to enter the threshold of cultivation regardless of shame.

My father has been on the throne for a long time, after all, his vision is a little smaller, and he firmly holds the soldiers in his hands, but he ignores the power of these cultivators. He knew that in a few years, only a cultivator would be able to decide who the throne would belong.

Wu Gan, when you come back this time, I see that your cultivation has also increased a lot, so why don't you come and help me. I have very few people in the capital, and I urgently need someone like you to help me, and you and I may not be able to do great things in the future. When the time comes, it's not about what you want. In order to show my sincerity, I will give a gift first, and Zhang Qing's matter will be revealed, and I will not pursue it again."

Wu Yan was slightly stunned, knowing that it was useless to deny Zhang Qing's death, so he had to smile bitterly, "Lord Weng, you really look up to me,

Isn't it a bit far-fetched to give such a generous gift based on my cultivation alone, my unobtrusive behavior."

Zhao Ling chuckled and said, "Why hide it like this, Wu Gan, you are a soul master, and the lives of my father and son are still in your hands."

Wu Yan touched his body, took out the wooden box, and reached out and handed it to Zhao Ling, "Actually, it's been so long, Lord Weng should have had a guess about whether I can use witchcraft or not. Well, when this thing is returned, it is finally gone to the knot in my heart."

Zhao Ling took the wooden box and swept it gently, his face changed slightly, but he immediately calmed down, "Wu Gan, it seems that the price I gave is still not high, in this way, if you cooperate with me, I will give you another small gift."

Wu Ling couldn't help but be curious, he had already returned the hair, and this Zhao Ling also bid frequently, what was it, "What a thin gift."

"Me." Zhao Ling replied softly, reaching out and pulling the jade belt around his waist, and his dress slowly fell, revealing his white shoulders.

The woman's figure is hidden in the flowers, which is really dazzling. "Cooperation requires sincerity, you and I are together, if something big happens in the future, I don't dare to help you to a high position, but I can give our heir a throne to sit on.

In this way, you can also rest assured of me, not only that, you can marry that Zhu Qianhua as usual on weekdays, you and I are just a dew marriage. You see how it is."

Zhao Ling had a small copper cymbal between his fingers, and with a flick of his two fingers, an ethereal voice sounded. The sound was like smoke, as if it was about to sink people's minds into the lake, and for a while, many small birds fell in the forest. Wu Gen was dizzy for a while, but soon there was a pain in his left wrist, and he woke up in an instant

Looking at Zhao Ling, who was walking slowly, Wu Yan glanced nervously at Lin Ziwai and scolded in a low voice, "You are crazy, everything has been returned, what else do you want, quickly put on your clothes and talk well."

Zhao Ling was slightly surprised, put on his clothes again, and said in a low voice: "What did you bring back from the Great Relic Continent this time, I heard that you gave Jian Xing a lot of good things, is there a Taichu Stone?"

It turned out to be for this, Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhao Ling, you don't want to think about it, the Taichu Stone is a legendary artifact, how can you find it easily, you also think too highly of me. What I gave to Jian Guoshi, this can't be a secret, sooner or later you will know."

Zhao Ling was still aggressive, "What is it?"

Wu Yan said helplessly: "It's three pairs of inscriptions and turtle essences. This inscription is used by martial artists, and the turtle essence is a bit miraculous, and it can prolong life, but it is presented to the current emperor."

"Is there any turtle essence, or any other thing that prolongs life and is beneficial to cultivation?" Zhao Ling asked in a low voice.

Wu Yan spread his hands, "You think that thing is a stone, you can pick it up casually, and it is also a good thing that you can't find in the Great Heritage Continent."

Zhao Ling's face was a little disappointed, "It seems that you really don't want to cooperate with me."

Wu Yan sighed, "Lord Weng, I gave you what you wanted, which shows my sincerity. What you want, I really don't have. I'm a martial artist, what do you want those things for?"

Wu Gen was thinking about leaving here at this time, Zhao Ling's plan was very big, once it fell into its control, he would be the enemy of Zhao State, how to do this head-killing business.

After all the hard work to come back here, isn't it just thinking about the hot kang head of the daughter-in-law and children, I really don't want to toss anymore. If you do these things, do you see that Zhu Buzhan is still looking at himself, and how can Zhu Qianhua deal with himself.

"Lord Weng, the things have also been returned, I will take my leave first." Wu Qian arched his hand and turned his head to leave.

"Wait." Zhao Ling's voice suddenly became stern, "Wu Gan, who killed Su Jianyu, but who killed Rong Xi."

Wu Gan's body suddenly stopped in place, and after a long time, he turned his head and sneered: "Lord Weng, how do I know how Su Jianyu died, this Rong Xi died of infighting in front of everyone, why do you have such a question."

"Please come with me." Zhao Ling's chin was slightly raised, but he walked out of the forest.

Wu Yan didn't know why she didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she also went out. When he walked outside the forest, Zhao Ling beckoned, but he summoned Xiang Qi to his side before he spoke, "Li Yi, come out."

The curtain of the carriage

The child lifted up, and one person came out of it, but it was an old man.

Wu Geng's eyes widened, isn't this person the old man who has been following Yu Rongxi's side. When I was at the exit of the Great Relic Continent, I didn't see his figure, and I thought he was dead in the continent, but I didn't expect to see him here again, and I stayed with Zhao Ling.

"Wu Gongzi, don't come to harm." Li Yi coughed twice, describing him as a little haggard, "I didn't expect us to see each other again."

Wu Yan looked at Li Yi and then at Zhao Ling, "Is it difficult to ......?"

"Yes, Li Yi was arranged by Rong Xi's side. Since the royal family did not allow me to enter the Great Relic Continent, they did not say that they would not let me send someone in to investigate. Wu Gan, I heard Li Yi say that you have many adventures in the Great Relic Continent, so I decided to meet here today, but unfortunately you still can't believe me." Zhao Ling said coldly, looking at Wu Yan provocatively.

For a while, Wu Yan had a killing intent, this Li Yi knew a lot of his secrets in the Great Relic Continent, if he was left in the world, I am afraid that he would cause a lot of trouble. As soon as his hand touched the handle of the broken knife, he saw Xiang Qi standing in front of Zhao Ling.

At the same time, Zhao Ling laughed and said, "Wu Gan, it seems that the Great Relic Continent and his party have not only grown cultivation, but also murderous nature. Why, you want to kill the three of us. You don't want to think about how I can stand under the wall with my Zhao Ling's actions, and how can I not leave some behind."

Wu Yan gradually calmed down and smiled lightly, "Lord Weng has a good means."

"Well, can we cooperate at this time? With my connections and power, no matter what happens to Rong Xi or Su Jianyu, I can help you suppress it, not only is it easy for nobles to get it, but it will be expensive in the future. Don't think that Jian Xing can always cover you, this world, after all, is still the world of the Zhao family." Zhao Ling's voice sounded again, but this time it was more majestic.

Wu Gen looked a little nervous and took his hand away from the hilt, "The Tao is not the same, Lord Weng, Wu Gen also said a big word, if you are good and I am good, naturally everyone is good." If you take the opportunity to attack, I'm afraid no one will be able to get better. Farewell."

Saying that, Wu Yan turned around and left, and walked towards the Shenwu Academy without turning his head.

Looking at Wu Gan's figure, Li Yi walked over, "Master Weng, if this person can't be wooed, it will be a big disaster, but he took the witch Gu thing back."

Zhao Ling's face turned pale, he took out the wooden box and threw it on the ground, and twisted it with his foot a few times, "He got the three hairs from somewhere, do you really think that the master of this Weng can't see what his hair looks like, Wu Gan, you are looking for death, you dare to play this trick."

"Lord Weng, why didn't the dementor cymbals take down his person?" Seeing that Zhao Ling was in a bad mood, Li Yi hurriedly asked.

Zhao Ling tore off the petals of the hibiscus flower in his hand and bit his lip tightly, "He is really not an ordinary soul master, the soul cymbals can't be taken down, originally I was a little skeptical about his witchcraft skills, but now I really don't dare to say whether it's true or not." Let's go, go back."

Walking to the carriage, the horse dragged the hibiscus off the branch, but did not eat it, but simply destroyed it for fun.

Looking at the hibiscus flowers that had fallen to the ground, Zhao Ling shouted angrily, "Kill the horse."

Xiang Qi hesitated, "The horse is dead, how can the lord return."

"Waste, won't you carry me back, it's not like you haven't hugged me."

"Why?"
