"Oh? What does Senior Han mean, let me leave this matter alone?" Xia Ze asked.

Han Shizuka nodded: "Hmm. I think you must find it strange, I, Han Shizuka, as a veteran of a dynasty, although I died early and became a city god with the emperor's grace, why did I choose to hide it and not report it after knowing such secrets, but what I want to tell you is that the old man is a vulgar martial artist, and he can't read a basket of words, but he has seen too many imperial power battles in his life, and he is deceitful. The old man has seen two princes, and they are both considered to be talented, so no matter who can sit on the throne, as long as they care about the people, it is a great good."

Xia Ze wanted to speak and stopped.

Han Shizuka's face was a little guilty: "I know that Xia Ze Xiaoyou, you are a little unhappy in your heart, but there are some words, even if they don't sound so pleasant, I still have to be blunt. For example, Wei Ji, the emperor of Great Qi, did not hesitate to send killers to chase and intercept him all the way in order to dominate his heart, causing you to die for a lifetime, is Daqi wrong? Wrong, very wrong. There is also the city god here, for the sake of the people of this night city, he did his best, and after his death, he let the Great Qi Dynasty calculate in every way, is the Great Qi wrong? What is wrong cannot be more wrong."

Xia Ze frowned, a little surprised by the old man's outspokenness.

He said slowly: "So this kind of cause has created Lu Zu to go thousands of miles away, and he also wants to cut the fruit of those two swords, this time, it is naturally very happy, but the trouble is here, once the current lord of Daqi dies, it is inevitable that the two sons will fight. Isn't it a good thing that it is like a branch that has been broken out and a new cause and effect has been formed?"

Xia Ze interrupted coldly, "What the predecessors said is somewhat contradictory, even pedantic and pungent."

"Oh? Why?" Han Shizuka stroked his beard and smiled.

Xia Ze walked a few steps, clasped his hands around his chest and said loudly, "The senior said that Daqi was wrong, what was the mistake? The fault is that the people of the entire night city should not have fallen on the chessboard, and the fault should not have connived at the reckless behavior of the three-headed monster for many years, stirring up the people here to complain, and the family was ruined but did nothing. To put it mildly, the mud legs that came out of my small place have not even done any heinous evil, and they have been calculated by many forces and even some people in the Great Qi court. Does anyone remember? I, Xia Ze, am not also a citizen of Daqi?"

Han Shizuka was speechless for a while.

Xia Ze snorted coldly in his heart, and continued, "I heard what Lu Zu said, and the Great Qi Emperor said with a stiff neck at that time, what he was afraid of was those mountain people who were careless about people's lives, and he wanted to make the creatures on the ground dare to look directly at the majesty of the thunder."

Xia Ze's face was cold, and there was a rare sneer on his face: "But what he did today is not exactly the opposite of what he claimed? Since Daqi is wrong, then correct it, if he insists on going his own way, there will naturally be a righteous teacher to take action, so this kind of thing will happen, but he Daqi is to blame. What was wrong with Lu Zu? I want to ask rhetorically, is it this Great Qi Dynasty or the heir of the Wei family that the Han seniors are loyal to?"

Han Shizuka was a little out of shape by these sharp words, and scratched his head: "Naturally, it's the Great Qi Dynasty."

Xia Ze sneered coldly, "That's why I think the ideas of the old-timers are particularly ridiculous. Since the roots of a dynasty have decayed, if even the people on the throne do not care, it is inevitable that the people of the land will fall into the hands of others. When a dynasty is about to run out, it can not be stopped by some actions to cover up and steal the bell. Now, I just hate myself for not being fast enough with my sword and not high enough with my fist."

Han Shizuka's face was pale, he clenched his fists tightly, and finally like a deflated ball, he lowered his hand and sighed, "You are right, Daqi, you are indeed to blame. As an old minister, I dare not interfere with the king's order privately, but even if the golden body is broken, I must protect the people of this country."

Xia Ze nodded and got up to leave.

"Little friend Xia Ze, what are your plans in the future, are you going to Daqi?" Han Shizuka's domineering spirit disappeared, and it wasn't until this sentence blurted out that he smiled self-deprecatingly, why should people tell you.

I didn't want Xia Ze to pause suddenly, but he didn't turn around, "Well, I'm going to Daqi, I have some accounts to settle, and I want to see an old man."

Han Shizuka nodded, and said to Xia Ze in a somewhat pleading tone, "Let those two dolls come back if they are fine."

Look, I'm the successor to the City God, but this City God Temple is still their home."

Xia Ze's figure disappeared into the deep alley.

Fifty miles outside the city, in a ruined temple, the young man of Jinyi was furious, and slammed his fist into the burning fire, causing sparks to splash everywhere, and the flame was abruptly extinguished.

"Good for your Wei Yinxi! Keep saying that they have formed an alliance with our Great Zhou, and privately compete to send such difficult characters to ambush here, if it weren't for Chongming and Su Lao's action, they would have all folded there just now, and they wouldn't take revenge! I swear not to be a human being!"

"Young master, don't be impatient....... The old man who was called Su Lao was wrapped in thick gauze on half of his face at this moment, and even as he spoke, red blood began to ooze out of the gauze, not only that, but the sleeve of his right hand was empty, obviously interrupted by Han Shizuka's punch.

He relieved for a while, waited for the pain to subside slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Since Wei Yuxi has decided to unite with us, he shouldn't do this kind of stupid thing of lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, if we die together in Suye City, he will not only lose a backer, but even because of the death of the young master, let the emperor directly declare war with Daqi, and at that time, no matter how reluctant he is, it is already the general trend to join forces with Wei Yuhan to fight against Zhou." Even if he doesn't care about all of the above, he has to weigh the force behind us, and he can't afford to mess with it."

Chongming's fingertips lightly touched the pile of white smoke firewood, and immediately a flame lit and turned into a flame, she placed the firewood, nodded and said, "Su Lao's analysis is very right, presumably there are other people who arranged for Han Shizuka to sit here."

Wen Wu gradually calmed down, he sat cross-legged on the ground, picking up the withered branch in his hand, "Is it ...... Is it the most deviant Wei Yuhan in the rumors?"

All three were silent.

In Pan's Mansion, in the guest room where Xia Ze was, several people sat together. After a month of recuperation, the three of them ended their retreats one after another.

The first person to go out of the customs was Xu Xiuzhu, as early as before the war, he was under the pressure of Lin Luqing's feeding fist, and successfully entered the six realms of martial arts, after this catastrophe, he thought that he could take advantage of the sword intent in his heart that was beginning to take shape, and then break through a realm, but he never thought that after ten days in a row, that trace of the original erratic enlightenment completely dissipated, Xu Xiuzhu was naturally very anxious, but if he continued to consume like this, it would only make the demons overflow, and he had to end the retreat hastily.

On the other hand, Bai Lu and Ah Yu seem to have successfully entered the seventh realm after a long time of savings. It's just that it's not necessarily a good thing for them.

"What! You said you were going to go to Daqi Dongjing alone?" The crowd exclaimed.

Xia Ze smiled and nodded: "You don't have to make such a fuss, going to Daqi is the purpose of my trip."

Ayu said with a worried face: "But Childe, we have just finished a big battle, although the three-headed monsters have been wiped out, it is difficult to guarantee that the Great Qi side will not send further killers to ambush halfway, and Childe will go alone, will it be too risky?"

Xia Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "This point, Lu Zu and Wu Dao have already arranged it for me, as long as someone on the Great Qi side makes a move on me, it is estimated that it will not only be the lord of the country who will die this time, so you don't have to worry, even if they are not honest, I still have a way to deal with it."

Ayu was still a little worried, while Bai Lu on the side was silent.

But they all tacitly understood a truth in their hearts, Xia Ze, who was unfettered, might be the strongest, stronger than any of them.

He Xu drooped his head and said with a sad face: "Xia Ze, you have to go out alone again, so how long will it take for you to come back when you go to Dongjing this time?"

Xia Ze couldn't help but rub his head: "Don't worry, at most one month, this month, you stay here, as soon as I finish my work, I will come back to you, and I will definitely take you to find your sister when the time comes."

He Xu relieved his heart a little and nodded.

Bai Lu suddenly spoke, "You called all of us here, do you have any other arrangements besides talking about this?"

Ayu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Xia Ze smiled and stretched: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, yes, I called everyone here this time, in fact, I have a gift for you."

The three of them couldn't help but be surprised, it started, it started again, and this guy's nature began to be restless again.

Xia Ze put his hand into his sleeve and took out a long sword without a scabbard: "Brother Xu, isn't that sword of yours already broken, this eight-sided sword was scavenged by Lu Zu on Huanglong's body, sharpening iron like clay, I already have a fire, this eight-sided sword doesn't have a name for the time being, so I'll give it to you."

Xu Xiuzhu's eyes were slightly red, and he stopped talking, and finally gently took the long sword.

The fingers caressed the blade of the sword, and there were ancient runes engraved on it, which must be more comfortable when facing the enemy's evil spirits and monsters.

Xu Xiuzhu said with a smile: "Brother, I won't be polite to you, don't hide anything in the future, as long as there is trouble, I will come from all over the world, and if you can't fight, I can help you carry two bricks."

Xia Ze grinned, and then took out an oil-paper umbrella from the square inch: "Ayu, this Mizhang bone umbrella can cover the yin qi and demonic energy, and if you walk the rivers and lakes with you in the future, you can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, even if you are a monk with advanced Taoism, it is difficult to see the clues, and it will also help you absorb the spiritual energy, you can refine it as a means of self-protection in the future."

Ayu didn't take the umbrella immediately, but keenly noticed that Xia Ze had something to say, and asked with a frown, "Is it that if I take this umbrella, I will go to the rivers and lakes alone in the future?" Does Childe have any other plans? Why don't you take us with you and take care of us?"

Xia Ze was stunned, and nodded slowly: "I gave you this umbrella, just to let you have more things around you in the future, as for whether there are other arrangements, it is true, Lu Zu had talked to me before this, Ayu, if you and Bai Lu want to successfully survive the thunder tribulation, it is far from enough to travel in this Ethereal Continent, so I ask Lu Zu, and soon after, I will take you to the Cave Prefecture to travel, especially you, Ayu, this opportunity is very rare."

Ayu seemed to be a little unhappy, and muttered, "Childe, do you really not know, or do you not know, whether you can survive the thunder tribulation, for me, is it really that important?"

These words sounded a little weird, and even Xu Xiuzhu and He Xu couldn't help coughing, and at the same time, Bai Lu's expression became more and more unnatural.

Xia Ze didn't know how to answer for a while, but Ah Yu quickly took the obscured bone umbrella and said with a smile: "Since it is the arrangement of the son, then Ah Yu is better to be respectful than to obey the fate, and he will definitely become stronger in the future and share the worries of the son."

Xia Ze finally smiled with relief, and then turned his head to look at Bai Lu: "Bai Lu, I also have something to give you."

Then he quickly took out a crystal clear thing like a bamboo knot from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

In an instant, bursts of cold air rose from the blue bone, and He Xu on the other side hugged his arms and shivered.

Ayu's face changed drastically, and even Bai Lu, who had always been silent, couldn't help but blurt out: "Xia Ze, your brain won't get into the water, right......?"

As soon as these words came out, Ayu and He Xu immediately rolled their eyes at him, Bai Lu was a little cramped, in fact, what he wanted to say was that such a valuable Jiao bone was given to him for nothing, is it really appropriate?

"Don't? Shall I put it away?" Xia Ze smiled evilly, and was about to take the bone back into the square inch.

Bai Lu moved very quickly, put away the piece of Jiaobone, and muttered, "Since it has been taken out, how can there be any reason to take it back, I have thanked Shopkeeper Xia in advance."

Xia Ze finally stopped taking out anything from the square inch: "This Jiao Bone of the Sea Jiao Saint is of good quality, and the dragon qi contained in it is not too pure, which will help your dragon horn to be repaired, as for how far it can be repaired, I don't know very well, in short, when the spiritual energy is exhausted, it is also a good choice to refine this Jiao bone into a magic weapon."

He Xu looked left and right, took Xia Ze's hand, and asked eagerly, "Xia Ze, what about me, don't you have my gift?"

Xia Ze shook his head and said with a smile, "I've already given it to you."

"Where? How did I not

See?" He Xu looked around, not noticing Bai Lu's somewhat embarrassed expression behind him.

"No, no, no! Xia Ze, my gift!" He Xu shouted.

Xia Ze laughed, and then put dozens of copper coins into He Xu's palm, full of calculations, and he could eat sugar gourds every day for a month, and now he could show off with Swallowing the Sky, He Xu was suddenly overjoyed.

"This kid is really out of the eyes." Xu Xiuzhu scolded with a smile.

"By the way, Childe, when are you going to leave for Daqi?" Ayu asked.

"Tomorrow."

With a hasty look, Ayu understood, took He Xu's hand and walked out of the door, saying that he was going to buy him a sugar gourd.

There were only three people left in the room: Xia Ze, Xu Xiuzhu, and Bai Lu.

"Am I going to have to avoid it?" Xu Xiuzhu said and was about to get up.

Xia Ze waved his hand: "It's okay, there's nothing to force Brother Xu, it's just that there are some things that may not be easy for He Xu to accept, so ......."

An inexplicable layer of indifference appeared on Bai Lu's face, and he said in a deep voice, "So, you already knew that I was specially sent by He Xi to protect He Xu?"

Xia Ze nodded: "I knew it as early as the Yuqiao Town Market. How could a dragon appear in an ordinary bazaar for no reason, besides, I have tried it a few times before, and your concern for He Xu is beyond my imagination."

Xu Xiuzhu was a little embarrassed, Bai Lu on the opposite side was standing, he and Xia Ze were sitting like this, as if they were interrogating, so nervous that his hand holding the teacup kept shaking.

Bai Lu couldn't help but ask, "Since you already know that I am loyal to He Xu, not to you, why do you still give me such a valuable Jiaolong backbone, and I really don't feel distressed at all?"

Xia Ze hesitated for a while, as if he was a little embarrassed: "You can't be counted like this, He Xu is my family, since you are specifically protecting He Xu, you are my Xia Ze's friend, for my friend, I can ignore the big accounts, but I will definitely take care of the accounts of drinking and eating."

Bai Lu was silent for a moment, and there seemed to be a hint of panic on his face: "We, the Jiaolong Demon Clan, the most important contract, and what we promised, we will definitely do it if we risk our lives." There are some secrets, I don't want to hide them from you, my initial cultivation is not only the Five Realms, but my cultivation you see is deliberately suppressed by me with secret methods, as long as I want to, this time the battle of Night City will not even be fought so hard at all, after listening to these words, do you still think that you will not regret giving me Jiao Gu?"

Xia Ze shook his head: "No regrets."

Bai Lu and He Xu are like Swallow Heaven and Xia Ze.

Xia Ze thought for a while and said, "I believe that soon after I leave for Daqi Dongjing, He Xi will personally come to pick up He Xu, I hope you can help me hide it for a while, I really have quite important things at hand, and I can't stay for a long time." Besides, I'm going to take a very dangerous path, and it's not safe to take him, and if he makes any mistakes, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

Bai Lu lowered his head and said softly: "This farewell, see each other again in the future, I'm afraid it won't be as happy as today, you and He Xi and He Xu are extremely rare gifts of the Heavenly Dao, one day they will go to the sky, and it is difficult to say whether they will be friends or enemies when the time comes......

Xia Ze and Xu Xiuzhu were stunned.

"Ascend to the sky?"

Bai Lu nodded, and immediately there was red blood flowing out of the seven orifices, and he opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to continue, but found that he couldn't do anything.

"No more talk, that's enough." Xia Ze waved his hand, signaling that Bai Lu didn't have to say any more.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lu forcibly swallowed a mouthful of blood, and whispered, "You are different, you are a person who was forcibly disrupted by someone, and the three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, this road is ...... I'm afraid you'll have to go harder than others, but you'll just have to get to the top...... You must go on!"

Bai Lu's face was bloodless, and he was about to pass out, Xia Ze quickly got up to support him, and then slowly introduced a stream of true qi into his vest, and gradually Bai Lu, who was injured by the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, gradually recovered.

"Needless to say,

I have to trouble you to take good care of He Xu." Xia Ze said with a smile.

Xu Xiuzhu helped him to the stool, Bai Lu just sat down, the blood on his face recovered, and he immediately spoke: "Not long after, He Xi will come here, and I will go back together to resume my life at that time, I can assure you that He Xu will definitely grow up in peace and stability, as for the trip to the Cave State with Lu Zu and Ayu, I'm afraid I won't be able to go together."

Xu Xiuzhu finally found an opportunity to interject, and keenly sensed the sourness in Bai Lu's words, slapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Cheer up, how can you know that you don't have a chance if you are not brave, Ayu doesn't like mother-in-law's men."

After these words, Xia Ze finally saw what it meant to hit the bull's-eye, and saw Bai Lu, who was originally bloodless, his face turned red instantly, and he stood up suddenly, as if the pain he had suffered before because of the leakage of the heavenly secret was gone.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Lu was still quibbling, like boiling water.

Xia Ze nodded with a face: "What Brother Xu said is indeed true."

In the end, Bai Lu became angry and rushed out of the door.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Xiuzhu sighed: "I didn't expect that little ghost to have so many secrets and bitter pasts, but you really don't plan to say goodbye to him?"

Xia Ze hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "I also know that He Xu may be sad, and I also know that he is always afraid that I think he is a drag oil bottle, but after thinking about it, I never want to involve him in it, and finally find the sister he misses, this is the best arrangement."

Xu Xiuzhu didn't know what to do for a while, the burden on Xia Ze's body was a little too heavy, if it were him, he might have collapsed a long time ago.

In addition to the days of going south and north with Lu Yixiang, this time is also the first time Xu Xiuzhu has traveled the rivers and lakes by himself, this young man admires him the most, saying that he is ignorant of the world, and he can arrange everything around him properly, saying that he is cautious and picks the door, but this kid treats friends a lot of times, that is really not a baby.

As he was talking, Xia Ze was about to take out the sword book of Meng Dengzhou again: "Brother Xu, this sword book ......

Xu Xiuzhu slapped him lightly on the forehead, and scolded with a smile: "It's almost enough, it's so extravagant and wasteful, and you won't have to fight at the two ends for three days if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future." No matter how bad my Xu Xiuzhu is, don't be nosy, and pretend to be dead......

Xia Ze scratched his head embarrassedly: "Brother Xu, I can save my life at critical times, besides, I don't know what kind of character you have, I will definitely make a move when you want to make a righteous move, I will borrow this sword book from you, not give it to you......

Xu Xiuzhu was stunned in place, feeling that his eyes and nose were a little sour, and he couldn't help but look up at the roof.

Some people are born to worry about their lives, obviously they are also in the rivers and lakes, and they are only in their early 14s, shouldn't he be the one who should be taken care of the most?
