Chapter 157: Battle Cao Changqing
On this day, the dark clouds over Shenhuang City covered the sun, and it looked particularly gloomy.
In the Jingluo Mansion, an old man with a white beard and hair looked worried and frowned.
He is naturally Sun Xiji, the old lady of Western Chu, and now the Jingluo Mansion under the name of the Liyang Dynasty, who is in charge of the entire old land of Western Chu, and is the nominal highest official.
It was precisely because he added a lot of strength that Cao Changqing gathered a lot of remnants of Western Chu so easily.
Naturally, it is inevitable that the Liyang Dynasty will indulge intentionally or unintentionally, otherwise, with his identity, even if it is to appease all the forces in the land of Western Chu, he will not directly become the highest official in the old land of Western Chu.
He knew what Liyang Dynasty was thinking, and Cao Changqing naturally knew it.
However, even if there is a slight possibility of recovering the country, he and Cao Changqing will not give up easily.
Naturally, knowing that this was the bait that Liyang deliberately threw away, he also desperately bit it.
It's just that he also recently learned that the former Taiping princess Jiang Xi, the only bloodline of the Chu State, and now Jiang Ni, has no intention of returning to the country at all.
However, with his experience and realm, he can understand it, and even he knows that recovering is not a good choice, especially for Jiang Ni.
Only old people like them, who have been loyal to Xichu all their lives, will really have a trace of delusion about the restoration of Xichu.
After learning that Jiang Ni had no intention of returning to the country, he did not complain, but only sighed a little and felt a little relieved.
Even, in the continuous attention to Jiang Ni over the years, he faintly saw that Jiang Ni seemed to have greater ambitions than the restoration of Western Chu, and he was actually a little relieved about this.
On weekdays, he also uses the full strength of the strategy to help Jiang Ni openly and secretly.
However, the estrangement between Jiang Ni and Cao Changqing made him extremely difficult.
It's just that on weekdays, their well water does not interfere with river water, and they are safe with each other, so that he can barely breathe a sigh of relief.
However, since a few days ago, Huang Sanjia, a well-known Huang Longshi in the world, suddenly came to visit and didn't know what to say to Cao Changqing, all this has changed.
smashed several aid stations and forced Jiang Ni to come to this Divine Phoenix City, all of which made him have some bad premonitions.
The wrinkles on Sun Xiji's brows became deeper and deeper, and at this time, there was a bang outside the house, and a dazzling thunderbolt flashed, and the next moment, there was a boom, and the torrential rain poured down.
Countless raindrops seemed to hit his heart, and after a while, he slapped the table and shouted, "Butler, prepare the carriage for the old man!" ”
An old butler who was nearly sixty years old pushed the door and walked in, and hurriedly said: "Oh, master, it's raining so hard outside, your body is still in the house, if you have anything to order, someone else will do it." ”
Sun Xiji shook his head and said, "This matter has to be me, go and prepare the car, don't delay." ”
The old housekeeper saw that Sun Xiji insisted, and he knew the old man's temperament, so he could only sigh helplessly, hurriedly went down, and ordered his subordinates to prepare the carriage.
A moment later, Sun Xiji held an oil-paper umbrella, braved the heavy rain, got into the carriage, and headed all the way to the east of the city.
Not long after, they reached the eastern end of the city, at the foot of the majestic and tall city wall.
He was alone, carrying an umbrella and braving the rain to climb the tower, if it weren't for the servants around him to take care of him in time, just going up the tower this way, I am afraid that his old bones would be broken.
Above the city, a Confucian man in green clothes stood under the rain curtain, but he couldn't get any raindrops on his body, as if he was a fairy in the world, and his demeanor was compelling.
He is naturally Cao Changqing, the third official in the world who monopolizes the eight fights of the heavenly phenomena in the world.
Sun Xiji stepped forward step by step, and under the torrential rain, his old figure looked particularly weak.
Cao Changqing had been quietly looking at the north, but at this moment, he had to turn around and look at Sun Xiji.
"Master Taishi, why did you come here in the rain to teach Cao?"
Sun Xiji stood still, and asked in a somewhat low tone: "Changqing, do you really want to make a move against Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”
Cao Changqing's eyes were gloomy, and he suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect the old lady to be unable to sit still." ”
After that, he turned to continue to look to the north and said, "Taishi thinks that I was provoked by Huang Longshi, so I made this move, right?" ”
Sun Xiji was slightly stunned and speechless for a while.
Cao Changqing said calmly: "If the Taishi really thinks so, then he looks down on me Cao Changqing too much, I am a criminal minister of Western Chu, how can I really be unfavorable to the princess?" ”
He sighed and said lightly: "I only want to understand one thing, and I also want to see some things clearly." ”
When Sun Xiji heard this, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "If this is really the case, it would be fine, but in the battle of Xilei Wall back then, you entered the hegemony with Confucianism and Taoism, and after becoming a celestial phenomenon master, after all, it is different from the Cao Beima I know, I only hope that even if Xichu really has no hope of recovering the country, it will not hurt Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
At this moment, a hundred meters outside the Divine Phoenix City, a white dress floated in.
The long hair is scattered, the style is peerless, and the beauty of the face can be described as unparalleled.
The ginger mud has arrived.
The astonishing sword intent around her immediately attracted Cao Changqing's attention.
Like, too much like that.
In a trance, he seemed to see the world-famous Spring and Autumn Color Armor reappearing in the world.
Sun Xiji was also attracted by Cao Changqing's movements, his eyes fell, and the moment he saw Jiang Ni's figure, the picture of meeting the emperor and queen also appeared in his mind.
For a while, I had mixed feelings, and there were some old tears.
At this time, Cao Changqing's sleeves and robes were spread, his feet stepped on the void, and he slowly fell from the city step by step.
Princess Taiping has arrived, and his body of chess edict naturally can't help but come forward to greet him.
He fell calmly, and under the rain curtain in the sky, he saluted very respectfully, and said, "The criminal minister Cao Changqing sees Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
Jiang Ni's eyes were complicated, and she asked softly, "Uncle Qizhao, do you really want to come to this point?" ”
She thinks that since the concept is different, you can just take two paths, you want the support of the princess of Xichu, and she will also give this support, but why should you fight for me and fight for the victory?
Cao Changqing stood up straight and said slowly: "The criminal minister just wants to ask for an answer. ”
Jiang Ni's face gradually turned cold, and his tone gradually became indifferent.
"What answer does Uncle Qi Zhao want, why don't you ask me directly, and go to such great lengths to lure me here?"
Cao Changqing looked at the weather-beaten Divine Phoenix City behind him, and vaguely seemed to see the picture of those familiar figures living in it more than ten years ago.
After a while, he set his eyes on Jiang Ni and said word by word: "Please Your Highness take action!" ”
His tone was firm, leaving no room for manoeuvre, and it was clear that this battle was inevitable.
The countless words in Jiang Ni's heart dissipated, she slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, she had instantly stood in the supreme realm of emptiness, and the sword intent around her body was like a wave, bursting out wave after wave, seemingly endless.
A faint hint of appreciation flashed in Cao Changqing's eyes, and the next moment it turned into the deepest indifference.
In an instant, Jiang Ni drew his sword out of the sheath, and as soon as the sword came out, the endless rain curtain suddenly turned into a surging sword qi.
Vaguely, it seems to be with a three-point and four-point sword path.
The sword does not regret and moves forward.
Cao Changqing sighed with emotion and said, "What a domineering sword move!" "But instead of being domineering, he is the one who is the best in the world.
The next moment, he flicked his sleeves, and suddenly, the domineering qi machine swept away, and in front of him, two invisible air currents rolled up the rain in the sky, turning into two amazing waterspouts standing in the world.
Jiang Ni's domineering sword aura fell, but it was easily torn apart by the power of the more domineering tornado.
Immediately, two amazing waterspouts swept towards Jiang Ni.
On the city tower, Sun Xiji, who was looking at this scene from afar, couldn't help but look anxious, and even more unspeakably worried.
However, Jiang Ni's expression was still cold, and the moment she swung her sword, there seemed to be a faint black and white Taiji diagram between heaven and earth that flashed away.
The extremely powerful sword qi turned into the softest in the world in the blink of an eye.
With a few simple swings of the sword, there was an invisible force and qi traction, causing the two domineering waterspouts to collide and entangle with each other, and finally they were broken by her sword at the right time.
Cao Changqing was still standing in place, seeing this scene, he smiled faintly and said: "The two highnesses can be broken, so what if this is the case?" ”
He raised his hands and lifted them in mid-air.
In an instant, eight waterspouts rose from the ground, connecting the heavens and the earth, and it was as if the world was destroyed under the terrifying momentum.
At the head of the city, Sun Xiji was short of breath, and couldn't help but scold: "Cao Changqing, what a dog thief, if you dare to hurt Her Royal Highness the princess, the old man will fight for his life, and he will not be finished with you!" ”
Under the rain, Jiang Ni's cold expression finally changed color, and at this moment, she also truly realized what amazing strength Cao Guanzi, who has occupied the top three martial arts evaluations in the world all the year round and is known as the world's celestial phenomena and the eight fights, has.
I can't complain that I can enter Tai'an City three times and still retreat.
It's just that if you want her to admit defeat, it's impossible.
She Jiang Ni is Xu Chuan's eldest disciple, and she represents the face of her own teacher outside, no matter how powerful the peerless master she faces, she will not admit defeat.
Therefore, she directly used the strongest move that she had realized after nearly ten years of sword cultivation.
A sword divides yin and yang!
The whole body was full of energy, and countless raindrops were quietly and silently suspended in the air, and the heavens and the earth seemed to have turned into black and white at this moment.
A sword comes out, as if the heavens and the earth are just opening, the clear qi floats up, and the turbid qi falls, directly ruling the rules in the space.
This sword, even in Cao Changqing's eyes, was amazed.
In just a few years, the lively little girl has become such a peerless swordsman who can support one side.
Even Li Chungang, who was amazing and brilliant in the whole world back then, at this age, I am afraid that he is not as good as Jiang Ni's achievements in kendo now.
Thinking of this, Cao Changqing couldn't help but feel a touch of irrepressible pride in his heart.
In fact, what Huang Longshi said to him was nothing more than the luck of Western Chu, the luck of the world, and the matter of Xu Chuan, the teacher of Jiang Ni, whom he was only famous for but had never seen.
Huang Longshi did have the means to turn the obsession in his heart into a demonic thought, wanting him to stop Jiang Ni from acting, and even against Jiang Ni's teacher Xu Chuan.
However, after all, he is a dignified Confucian saint, and Huang Sanjia is certainly not bad, how can he be used as a pawn and fiddle with him at will?
Since he gave birth to a demonic thought, he is a dignified Confucian saint, and if he kills this demonic thought, it is a big deal, so why not return to the country?
Moreover, he also figured out one thing, since Jiang Ni has no intention of returning to the country, why should he become a shackle on Jiang Ni's head, and do what she doesn't want to do with Jiang Ni's name?
Presumably, even if Jiang Ni's mother is resurrected, he doesn't want him to go his own way at this moment, and then take Jiang Ni on a road of no return.
It's just that before he can really make this decision, he has to figure out one thing.
That is, whether Jiang Ni's teacher really takes Jiang Ni to heart, and whether the unknown road that Jiang Ni is walking now really has the possibility of success.
Now, seeing Jiang Ni's sword, his first test is that Jiang Ni has passed, however, if Jiang Ni is still defeated today and captured by him, the result is still uncertain.
If Jiang Ni can't even pass his level, how can he accomplish a more magnificent thing?
At the moment of thought, Jiang Ni's sword also fell completely.
In an instant, five of the eight waterspouts were directly cut off, and only three remained.
However, Jiang Ni was also exhausted at the moment, and could only look at the three waterspouts facing him with a pale face.
Cao Changqing sighed lowly, he didn't know whether he was happy or lost in his heart, he naturally wouldn't really hurt Jiang Ni, seeing that the three waterspouts were about to involve Jiang Ni, the qi around him moved slightly, and he was about to withdraw the three waterspouts.
But at this moment, two figures suddenly galloped from the rain.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, and an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy.
One finger Xuan, one King Kong.
But at the moment of the sword, there is a special tacit understanding.
The sharp and swift sword qi and the free and flowing sword qi were perfectly fused together.
The moment the sword qi fell, although it was a little reluctant, it still directly dispersed the three waterspouts.
The little girl had a cold face and said, "Bully my senior sister, old thing, I don't think you want to live anymore!" ”
The young man also echoed, and his elegant and free temperament disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only an arrogant look like a dog's leg, and said with a look of anger: "That's, dare to bully my senior sister, be careful that my second senior sister cuts you to death!" ”
Jiang Ni's eyes were shining at the moment, and a hint of an intoxicating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she didn't say anything, but the moment she raised her sword, it was an instant of battle spirit, and the sword aura was horizontal.
Cao Changqing's eyes fluctuated, to be honest, what he admired most about Xu Chuan, who he had never met, was not that he had slashed the Xuanyuan Dapan of the Heavenly Elephant Realm on the top of Huishan, but that he had cultivated the three peerless wizards in front of him who were all expected to be land immortals.
I don't know if this person is too lucky, or if he really has the ability to turn decay into magic.
The next moment, Jiang Ni took a step forward and stood in the first place, Wen Hua and Xu Le were separated on both sides, becoming the position of the three talents, and the three of them raised their swords at the same time, and the amazing sword qi soared straight into the sky, powerfully tearing the heavy rain clouds in the sky, revealing the clear blue sky.
Under the rain curtain, a ray of sunlight fell.
This scene is amazing!
