"Yes, Grandpa must be guarding us in the sky." Han Han said, her eyes shining with determination. "We will strive to be what he expects him to be, and we will make him proud of us in the Spirit of Heaven."

After hearing this, Taihao couldn't help but be moved. He looked at these two young beings, and he was struck by their determination and tenacity. He knew that they still had a long way to go, but they already had strong faith and courage, and that was enough. Tai Hao smiled at them and said, "I'm sure you can do it." ”

Taihao didn't know if they knew that their father Bi Luojing was a rebel leader, and they didn't know if Yingyu had mentioned it to them, but seeing their sunny and cheerful hearts and positive attitudes, Taihao was relieved. Wei Wei and Han Han, although it is obvious that they are descendants of different races in their appearance, their conversation is no different from that of a woman in the Central Plains. In particular, his innocent, lively and active personality makes Taihao love him even more.

At this time, a family member came to report that there was an old man who claimed to be from the West outside the door and asked to go out to greet him.

Hearing that it was an old man from the West, Tai Hao's first thought was his master "Sword God" Jiuqiu. He hurried to the door, but he didn't want to enter the chaos, and it was pitch black in front of him, and all around him was covered in dark clouds. Taihao is very familiar with this scene, this is the "Suo Lu Array". It seems that the person who came was not Master Jiuqiu, but Kozha Demba.

Taihao knew how to dissolve the formation, but he didn't go directly to dissolve the formation. Instead, he stood in the middle of the formation and shouted to Kozha Demba: "Since Kozha Daxia is here, why don't you go directly into the mansion to drink tea, and go to great lengths to set up this 'Suo Ling Array' for me, but it is really well-intentioned, do you want me to practice again, how to unravel this formation?" ”

Kozha Demba looked at Tai Hao from the outside, and laughed loudly: "I haven't seen you for so many years, your kid has really grown up, but you should call me Master, I taught you how to set up this 'Suo Ling Array', after that, have you used it?" ”

Tai Hao said: "The formation of the Kuozha hero is so exquisite, of course I have used it, but because the props to be prepared when setting up the formation are too complicated, I rarely use it." However, I have never forgotten the arrangement and solution of this 'Suo Ling Array'. As he spoke, he pondered where the mechanism for dissolving the formation would be placed by Koza Demba, and it took about half a burnt of incense for Taihao to finally unravel the "Suo Luo Array".

Tai Hao continued: "I haven't used the 'Suoluo Array' for so many years, and I'm a little rusty. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Koza Demba come to Taihao's side in a flash, and was about to hit Taihao with a palm. Tai Hao reacted instantly, made a block with his arm, and then used the "Ranger Miracle Skill" to fight with him, about two rounds of battle, Kozha Demba was already out of breath, instantly away from Tai Hao, standing a foot away from Tai Hao, and said with a smile: "Your kid's martial arts are good, I used to use three successful forces to knock you to the ground, but now, I used seven successful forces, and I am no longer your opponent." ”

Tai Hao said helplessly: "Kuozha Daxia, how old are you this year, why do you still want to fight and kill, you came here today to try martial arts with me?" ”

Koza Demba laughed again: "You probably forgot what you did when you were in Tibet, and asked you to write the secret book of "Snow Cat Fluttering", how did you write it silently? ”

Tai Hao said: "How can I remember every word of the original manuscript of "Snow Cat Fluttering"? It's good to be able to write it down smoothly. Besides, Kuozha Daxia, I have confirmed that what you said about the mystery of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill" is just a rumor, and there is no mystery in "Mao Ancestor Divine Skill", because the martial arts in each volume are independent and have no connection. Kuozha Daxia, you are now the envoy of Tibet, and you represent the image of Tibet in the Eastern Empire. ”

Kodzha Demba said, "In that case, aren't you going to invite me to sit in the house?" ”

Tai Hao immediately made an invitation gesture and said with a smile: "Kuozha Hero, please!" ”

Koza Demba walked to the door, looked up and saw the words "Chengwangfu" on the plaque, and joked: "Once a general who fought for the Eastern Empire in the south and the north, why did he just borrow the residence of King Cheng?" ”

Taihao said: "Kuozha Daxia is really joking, this is not an ordinary mansion, this is where the emperor lived when he was still the king, it is my honor to be able to borrow this place!" ”

Koza Demba said with a smile: "Of course I know that King Cheng is the current emperor, but I feel wronged for Lord Taihao, you said that you fought in the north and south for the sake of the Eastern Empire, and fought everywhere, you said that the Eastern Empire's large and small wars, which one you have not participated in." Not to mention the counterinsurgency in the north and the anti-Japanese war on the southeast coast, you have even experienced the war of going to Juchuan City to crusade against Yao Siyi, but the imperial court has relegated you to Lingnan, I really feel unfair to you! ”

At this time they walked to the front hall, and Taihao ordered a maid to pour a cup of tea for Kozha Demba. Tai Hao asked Kozha Demba, "How long is Kozha Hero now?" ”

"I'm nearly 80 years old this year! ”

Tai Hao said: "From what the Kuozha Hero just said to me, I'm sure that the Kuozha Hero must have other purposes, right?" ”

Koza Denba laughed and said, "Hahaha...... You're still that smart. I do have other things, and since you asked, I'll get straight to the point. I want to invite Lord Taihao to be an official in Tibet, and his fortune will definitely surpass that of the Eastern Empire, and the status is the same. ”

After hearing this, Tai Hao laughed and responded: "How could the hero of Kuozha think of inviting me to be an official in Tubo? Could it be that Tubo lacks capable military generals? ”

Kozha Demba said: "You are right, my Tibetan kingdom has the Eastern Empire in the east and the Nibala Kingdom in the west. There have been conquests on both borders, which has led to the decrease of the people of the Tubo Kingdom year by year, and there is no capable military general who can really lead troops to fight. So, I thought of inviting you to Tibet, to be honest, this is not just what I meant, as a Tibetan envoy, here I am under the orders of Tubo Zampu and the queen. In fact, it was Queen Diaotang who asked you to go to Tibet. ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment and said: "Thank you for the sincere invitation of Queen Diaotang and Kuozha Daxia, but I am a native of the Eastern Empire, no matter how the court treats me, I will not disappoint the court." I think I Taihao originally came from a small city on the border of the Western Regions, and I didn't have much knowledge, nor did I have superb martial arts, let alone a prominent background. Fortunately, thanks to the appreciation of Emperor Xuanyu, I was able to get to the present step by step, how could I easily betray the motherland. What's more, the Tibetan Kingdom is located on a plateau, where the air is thin, and it is not a place where I can adapt. ”

Kozha Demba said: "Now, I Tubo Zanpuyang Wu Rongzan, suddenly passed away, I have heard that some officials in the Eastern Empire want to take advantage of this opportunity to conquer Tibet. If there is a real war, the people of Tibet will fall into an irreparable disaster. ”

Taihao said: "The emperor has never said that he wants to conquer Tibet. ”

"Even though he didn't say it, he didn't object. ”

Tai Hao said: "Kuozha Hero, I will try my best to persuade the emperor not to use troops easily." On the emperor's birthday celebration yesterday, the emperor will send another envoy to Tibet, you also heard it, how can you start a war so easily? ”

Kodzha Demba said: "I hope so! ”

Tai Hao said: "You must know that Queen Diaotang is the biological daughter of the current emperor. His own daughter is still in Tibet, how can she ignore the feelings of flesh and blood? In my opinion, Tibet should now elect a new Zampu as soon as possible to stabilize the people's hearts. ”

Kozha Demba said: "This matter is still going on in Tibet. ”

Tai Hao said: "That's good, don't worry, the two countries can't fight." ”

Kuozha Dengba said: "I still want to invite Lord Taihao to serve in Tubo, Queen Diaotang said that if you can go to Tubo, his position will definitely exceed your current position as the city lord, and even make you the prime minister." ”

"What is the official position of the prime minister?" Taihao asked curiously.

Kozha Demba said: "The prime minister is equivalent to the prime minister of the Eastern Empire, and his authority is under Zampu. ”

Tai Hao said: "I'm not the prime minister's material, Kuozha Daxia can tell Queen Diaotang and let her invite another master!" ”

Kozha Demba said: "I am already eighty years old, and I still have to be an envoy of Tibet in the Eastern Empire, and I don't know when I will be able to go back." Although I was an envoy of Tibet, I also lived in the Eastern Empire for half my life, and I have a deep affection for both countries. Lord Taihao, you are the most outstanding military general I have met in the Eastern Empire, and you are also the young man I admire the most. I hope you will consider my proposal, and if you are willing to come to Tibet, I guarantee that you will have a prominent position and a prosperous life. ”

After hearing this, Tai Hao pondered for a long time, and then said: "Kuozha Hero, I understand your kindness, but I still can't accept your proposal. The Eastern Empire is my home, and my parents, brothers, and friends are all in this land. I have a deep affection for my homeland. I cannot betray my motherland, and I will not waver in my determination, even if I have a high position and wealth. ”

After hearing this, Kozha Demba was silent for a while, and then said: "Taihao, I understand your decision, I will no longer advise you, I only hope that the emperor of the Eastern Empire will not be rash, and take into account the old feelings between the two countries, so as to avoid the suffering of the people." ”

Between his words, Koza Demba said goodbye to Taihao. He walked out of the gate of Chengwang's mansion, and Taihao personally sent him outside the door, and affectionately told him to cherish his body.

After Koza Demba's departure, an indescribable confusion sprouted in Taihao's heart. He couldn't understand why the former rival avoided mentioning anything about martial arts in their conversations. Even though they had defeated Kozha Demba in just two rounds in a brief duel outside the palace gate, he didn't ask Tai Hao for the name of the strange martial arts. That indifferent attitude, as if he has seen through the prosperity of the world, is no longer bound by worldly desires.

Tai Hao began to wonder, is it that the martial arts he has cultivated are too profound for Kozha Demba to understand? Or is this former opponent already seen through the essence of martial arts and knows that no matter what kind of martial arts he cultivates, he will not be able to escape the cycle of life and death in the end? This thought made Tai Hao feel a chill, and he began to doubt whether his cultivation path was correct.

However, he also understood that Kodza Demba had now lived to be eighty years old, and it must have been because he had seen everything. He knew that in his short life, no matter how strong his martial arts were, he could not resist the passage of time. Therefore, he chose to let go and chose to be indifferent.
