Chapter 109: General of the Twelve Routes
The person who went up the mountain was the enemy!
After saying goodbye to Sikong Li in Anding City, Qiu Yao didn't stop, went straight to the Sword God Mountain, just arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw a natural vision, lest Cao Qiong be in danger, he couldn't care about anything else, and immediately rushed to the top of the mountain, just halfway up the mountain, the vision dissipated, Qiu Yao was surprised in his heart, but when he thought that ordinary people on this Sword God Mountain could not hurt Cao Qiong, he put his mind at ease and walked towards the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, Cao Qiong was reviewing with Ling Xiaoyun the few moves he had just made, this person's moves were not very strange, but that body of sword intent was extremely abundant, and even Cao Qiong was full of praise.
Ling Xiaoyun smiled bitterly and said: "On a whim, the seniors taught the two magical powers of flying sword and imperial sword to Zhuo Bufan, which is tantamount to creating another strong opponent for the juniors!" ”
Cao Qiong smiled slightly, and teased: "The old man lost to you that day, it was the first defeat in his life, and now the old man has no strength to fight with you again, and pass on what he has learned all his life to Na Zhuo Bufan, and then it depends on whether this junior can find a field for the old man." ”
Just as the two were talking and laughing, two scimitars roared over, and Ling Xiaoyun was about to raise his gun, but saw Cao Qiong as if he was in a dead end, staring at the two scimitars, and muttering: "Shen Di, Yu Lei, I haven't seen you for a long time." Come out! ”
At this time, a person came laughing and said loudly: "After 20 years, Brother Cao is much older!" ”
Cao Qiong said astringently: "Yes, you and I haven't seen each other for 20 years, do you know that it has been so hard for my brother to find you all these years." ”
Qiu Yao felt great pain in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I know, Brother Cao will not hesitate to fight alone in one city for me, otherwise he will not fall into the root of the disease, but fortunately, now the culprit Kongshan is dead, otherwise the younger brother will turn Yunyin Temple upside down!" ”
Cao Qiong suddenly frowned, and asked carefully: "Brother Xian, it is rumored in the outside world that the death of the empty mountain monk is related to you, is this matter true or false?" ”
Seeing Qiu Yao's solemn expression, he glanced at Ling Xiaoyun who was standing aside, Cao Qiong understood and said: "I forgot to introduce you, this is the famous spear fairy Ling Xiaoyun, who has a deep friendship with the old man, and the virtuous brother has something to say." ”
Although Qiu Yao didn't want to hide anything from Cao Qiong, when he thought of the agreement with Liu Gongyang, he couldn't break his trust, so he sighed: "The old bald donkey did die under Qiu's knife. ”
The two were shocked, and after a while, Cao Qiong said: "Brother Xian has good skills, he can kill the world's number one empty mountain monk, and now that Brother Xian has regained his freedom, I don't know what plans he plans in the future?" It's better to accompany the old man to live in this Sword God Mountain, and I have a lot of things to say to you for my brother. ”
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yao waved his hand and said: "The younger brother has now become the public enemy of the Liang State because of the death of the empty mountain, and settling here will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to Brother Cao, besides, the younger brother is determined to reach the peak of martial arts, the fourth in the world, but he can't enter the eyes of the younger brother. ”
Cao Qiong nodded, and explained the matter of competing with Zhuo Bufan. Qiu Yao was amazed after hearing this: "No wonder the vision of heaven and earth has just appeared, the sword aura is clear, this person's cultivation is very high, and the younger brother is ashamed of himself." The younger brother was trapped for 20 years, his cultivation was stagnant, he thought that the empty mountain was dead, and there were only two opponents in the world, Brother Cao and Gun Fairy, but he never thought that in the past 20 years, there have been many talents in the rivers and lakes, Zhuo Bufan and Sikong Li are all first-class good players, and now that I have seen Brother Cao, the little brother's wish has been fulfilled, and he will travel the world in the near future, in order to improve his martial arts, and I hope that Brother Cao will understand, so I will say goodbye. ”
Cao Qiong didn't expect Qiu Yao to plan like this, and muttered: "But after today's farewell, I am afraid that you and I will never see each other again." ”
Qiu Yao smiled slightly, waved a knife to cut off a strand of hair, handed it to Cao Qiong, and said: "The little brother is a person who is free and easy by nature, and now it is enough to see Brother Cao, the little brother has given away a strand of hair, you have me, I have you, so it is enough!" Without looking back, he turned around and went down the mountain.
Cao Qiong stretched out his hand, wanting to save something, but in the end, he just didn't say a word and put down his arm in despair.
Seeing this, Ling Xiaoyun couldn't help asking: "Isn't this enemy and his predecessors like brothers, how can they just leave?" ”
Cao Qiong smiled bitterly and didn't want to say more. At this moment, a few birds flew from the top of the mountain, chirping and chasing, but how could these birds who went out early and returned late to catch insects and forage for food understand Biyan's carelessness.

In the city of Poyang in the state of Chu, Sikong Li returned safely.
Chen Xiong couldn't wait to ask: "Sikong, you are finally back, what's the matter, is there any definite news about Kongshan's death?" ”
Sikong Li said 1510 about the encounter with the enemy in the territory of Liang State. Chen Xiong was overjoyed when he heard this, twenty years ago, Qiu Yao's name can be said to be resounding all over the world, "the sword in the south and the sword in the north", the limelight is unrivaled for a while, who dares to compete? Now that Cao Qiong is old and unwilling to become an official, Chen Xiong regrets that if he can recruit the enemy to his command, he can reach 10,000 male soldiers, and he can't help but have the heart of recruiting.
Sikong Li knew the holy will, so he said: "This person is arrogant, I am afraid that he will not be subservient to others, but Wechen has made an appointment with the enemy, and within a month, this person will definitely look for Wechen, and Wechen will lobby this person at that time." ”
Chen Xiong sighed: "It would be a pity that such a heroic figure could not be used by the widows. Now that you have returned to the court, the three sects in the territory of Great Chu will bother you to run in person, if there is anyone who dares to disobey, the widow allows you to cut first and then play. ”
Sikong bowed sharply and hugged his fists and said, "Weichen has the order." ”
"By the way, the widow heard that Yun Wanke, the daughter of the sect master of the Tayun Mansion, is also listed as one of the four junior grandmasters on the big list, no matter what, if this woman is left alive, the widow wants to see what makes this rising star special."
"Wechen takes orders." Sikong Li stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has one more thing to do. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Previously, my Great Chu troops were insufficient, except for the hundred divisions of the city, Baoyu City was stationed all year round garrison, and the rest of the cities had no permanent troops, and now the Yan State has fallen, and there is only one enemy in the whole world, and my Great Chu is now strong, plus the old land of Yan has a total of 12 cities, and each city can be divided into troops to garrison, and twelve defending generals can be set up, one can reduce the huge cost of army allocation, and the other is to disperse the troops, in case someone has a self-respecting army, and in case of war, it can strike first, and each city can assist each other, I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? ”
Chen Xiong muttered: "But if you divide the troops like this, you have to set up twelve more military generals out of thin air, I'm afraid that my Great Chu Wenchen will complain in his heart." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Li Mixian and Song Jinyang are both sensible people, and these twelve people are now serving in the court, not in the airborne army, but just one or two levels of official positions, and after these twelve people take office, the official positions such as Assassin Shi, Beijia, and Sima are vacant, and it is when my Great Chu talents emerge, not only will they not cause riots, but they can fill the fire of the Great Chu officialdom that has been quiet for a long time, and those who are capable will live there." Sikong said in a deep voice.
Chen Xiong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "So, the military god has a candidate in his heart?" ”
Sikong replied: "Weichen does not dare to expire Your Majesty, there is indeed a candidate, but this matter is very important, and it still needs to be discussed with several others." ”
