Xiao Jiu asked again: "Mr. is gone, what about you?"

This sentence stunned Qingniu, yes, the old man asked it to leave a message for Xiao Jiu, but what about itself? It thought about it and replied with some hesitation: "Now that you have achieved success, I have also broken through the barrier and improved, and it is time to go."

Xiao Jiu: "Didn't Mr. tell you where to go?"

Qingniu: "If the master has orders, he will give orders, and the world is so big, where can I go?"

Xiao Jiu leaned down and lowered his voice and said, "Da Niu, you are a monster now, you can't run around." If a cow speaks to a person, it will scare people, and if you don't meet a master, you will be subdued as a monster. There are monsters that are more powerful than you, and they want to kill your demon cow to eat meat. ”

Qingniu cried and laughed: "Don't scare me. ”

Xiao Jiu said with a solemn face: "I'm not scaring you, or telling you not to run around, just stay here and practice." ”

Qingniu: "The master didn't let me stay here." ”

Xiao Jiu: "But Mr. didn't let you stay here!"

Hey, this also makes sense! While hesitating, Xiao Jiu took advantage of the situation and said: "You are already a cultivated bull demon now, if you don't want to continue to live in the cowshed in the other courtyard, you can use this place as your cave house." Anyway, you've gotten used to it all these years, and you've been doing well here, so why don't you stay and continue your cultivation?

To tell the truth, Qingniu doesn't know where to find the tiger baby now. Since Huwa has left, it means that Xiao Jiu's cultivation has found his own path, and if there is no accident, there is no need for Huwa to interfere with anything. Then the "task" of the green cow has been completed, and it is all up to its own will to leave.

If it leaves this place, it can go to Kunlun Wonderland to see, and now it has nine realms to cultivate! But it also began to be curious about Xiao Jiu's future cultivation experience, and also wanted to know what else the master would have to entrust Xiao Jiu with in the future. More importantly, it heard the reluctance in Xiao Jiu's words, so he nodded and said, "Since the master didn't give orders, then I will continue to stay here." ”

Xiao Jiu said happily: "If you want, this is your cave mansion, and I have also designated the surrounding mountains and forests as your dojo." You just practice here on weekdays, and you don't have to work in the fields anymore. ”

Qingniu smiled: "You just said, I don't lose a lot of strength, and it's nothing to do some farm work on weekdays." This place is not bad, I will stay here for the time being. You tell the others, and from now on, keep the cattle in the mountains. ”

Xiao Jiu hugged the cow's neck and said, "Look, how good this is! I will also cultivate in the mountains in the future, okay?"

Qingniu: "Whatever you want, it's your home anyway." ”

Qingniu stayed in the villa, and Xiao Jiu also declared that he wanted to concentrate on cultivation, and he didn't live in another courtyard most of the time, and also moved to the mountain. Of course, he has the final say in his own affairs, and the Tailuo couple knows it, but in the eyes of others, it is this child who has grown up and has become very withdrawn, and he actually ran to the mountain with a cow to live, which made everyone secretly shake their heads and sigh.

In the two months of Qingniu's retreat, Tailuo finally broke through the cultivation of the Three Realms, and Xiao Xia also entered the initial realm and was able to cultivate, so it can be said that he finally broke free from the shackles of some kind of life. The two of them often went to the mountains to visit Xiao Jiu and Qingniu, to send some things and ask for some advice, and also to get more guidance on their cultivation.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Jiu has a withdrawn temperament and is only willing to live alone in the mountains. Some people even suspect that in order to control the wealth of the other courtyard, the steward Tailuo deliberately sent Xiao Jiu to live in seclusion in the mountains, and he firmly controlled the child since he was a child. Now that he is too far in the other courtyard, he seems to be the master, and he only occasionally sends some things to Xiao Jiugongzi.

Bai Basket unswervingly held this idea, and he even quietly went to the mountains to explore Xiao Jiu in private, trying to find out the truth, so as to expose Tailuo's ugly true face. But he didn't see Xiao Jiu at all, and of course he didn't find the cave where Xiao Jiu and Qingniu practiced on weekdays, so he got lost in the mountains and forests, and walked for a long time before turning out.

Xiao Jiu didn't blindly hide in the cave to cultivate, he also often traveled around the surrounding area, and many times he even ran to the city to play, but outsiders didn't know about it.

More than four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Jiu has reached the age of sixteen, and his cultivation has already turned five realms and nine turns. Xiao Jiu has gradually realized that Da Niu's cultivation is probably much higher than his own. Because Xiao Jiu's cultivation has continued to improve over the years, but no matter how high his cultivation is, he has never been able to see through the details of Da Niu's cultivation. This can only mean one thing, from beginning to end, the big bull is much taller than him, and he is worthy of being the mount of the great master!

On this day, Xiao Jiu left the cave and walked down the high slope with his back hand, experiencing the newly comprehended magical powers, although he still can't fly, but he already has the feeling of flying, and now he is trekking through mountains and rivers like walking on the ground. Before he could get out of the dense forest, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong, stopped and stretched out a finger into the air.

At the same time, he heard the sound of a strong wind breaking through the air, and three arrows crossed over, sealing all his retreats in all directions, and the trajectory of one of the arrows flying in the air actually turned and swam, bypassing two big trees at a very fast speed and shooting at his chest, obviously with the power of imperial objects.

Immediately after that, I heard three sounds, pops, and pops, and the three arrow shafts split into countless thin strips in the air, and the arrows didn't know where they flew. Xiao Jiu stretched out his left hand, and his right hand had pulled off the hosta on his bun and swiped forward. He didn't hit anything, but when he heard a pop, a man fell from a tree ten feet away.

The man broke his neck when he landed, but was fatally injured while in a tree. The wound was very small, but the opening of the heart was cut by about an inch, but I don't know how deep it was, and the blood gushed out and stained the clothes on the chest.

Xiao Jiu immediately killed the monk who tried to assassinate him, and at this time, two more arrows shot from the diagonal direction through the air, both in strength and accuracy. But Xiao Jiu just waved his left hand, and the arrows deviated from the direction in the near distance, and each drew an arc and stuck it on the ground.

In the bushes five zhang away, there were two figures on the left and on the right, and they didn't even want the hard bow they carried. It was the other two assassins, and when they saw that the assassination had failed and that Xiao Jiu was definitely beyond their control, they immediately fled. This reaction was not unpleasant, and he was also very calm, and he did not forget to shoot an arrow to cover before escaping.

Xiao Jiu had already inserted the hosta back into the bun, stretched out his hands and grabbed it in the air, and the two assassins who were about to escape rushed forward, but they flipped backwards in the air, as if they were rolled up by an invisible force and fell to the ground. Xiao Jiu's reaction was fast enough to leave them behind in time, but then he was slightly startled.

The two men also died. When they were swept up in the air, they already realized that they could not escape today, and they resolutely drew out their daggers and stabbed them into their hearts, and when they landed, they saw that they were not alive. After all, the distance is a bit far, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Jiu can do this is the limit, even if he wants to stay alive, he can't stay.

Xiao Jiu didn't come forward to check the corpse, his face was very ugly, he just stood quietly in place for a long time. Qingniu walked to his side from the mountains and forests, touched him with his horn and said, "What's wrong with you?

Xiao Jiu's voice was a little low: "I'm not so timid, and it's not like I haven't seen such a scene!"

Xiao Jiu said that he had seen such a bloody scene, not only referring to his own experience in Baoming Kingdom when he was a child, but also referring to his experience in Zhizhong, and even "experienced" the battlefield where thousands of troops and horses were fighting. The "story" that the tiger baby told him is mysterious and unpredictable, containing the inexplicable divine will of the fairy family, and when Xiao Jiu's cultivation reaches the point, it will be as if he has personally experienced those scenes in the fixed realm.

Qingniu: "Then why is your face so ugly?"

Xiao Jiu: "I was sent here when I was seven years old, and I have never had a grudge against anyone. Who would assassinate someone like me in such a way? Not only did they send a monk, but the other two were also elite dead soldiers!"

Qingniu sighed: "Against you, they thought they could easily succeed, but they didn't expect that they came to find death...... I have informed the steward that he will be coming soon. ”

Qingniu was in the cave just now, how could he notify Tailuo in the courtyard in the distance? But since it said so, it must have its magical means. Before the words fell, Tailuo had already arrived, and he walked through the mountains and forests to Xiao Jiu. Tailuo looks younger than a few years ago, and his cultivation has also broken through the four realms.

Tailuo saw Xiao Jiu's face and knew that something was wrong, so he ignored the corpses first, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Childe, what happened?"

"Three dead men came to assassinate them. Xiao Jiu just replied simply, and then asked, "Tailuo, is there any news in Baoming Kingdom during this time?"

Tailuo bowed his head and said: "Over the years, there has been no news. If I don't send the news back, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to this side. ”

When he said this, Tailuo's tone was very sad, with a hint of loss. Since Xiao Jiu was sent, there have often been caravans from Bao Mingguo to Lu Zebu, but no one has ever taken the initiative to ask about Xiao Jiu's situation, and no one has sent him any goods to support, as if he is left to fend for himself, how many years have passed!

Of course, if Xiao Jiu wants to ask his father for attention, he can also take the initiative to ask someone to say hello, such as begging a passing caravan to deliver a letter, or send someone back directly. He can declare that he lacks money and hope that the kingdom will send more goods to support him, or he may claim that he misses his hometown and ask his father to take him back.

These are all things that Xiao Jiu can take the initiative to do, but Xiao Jiu didn't do it. Since he has not squeaked and has no sense of existence for so many years, then the whole court of Baoming Kingdom just ignored him, I am afraid that he has long forgotten him, and he can't even think about it.

And the "sending news" mentioned by Tailuo just now has another meaning. There is only one situation where Tailuo must take the initiative to send news to Bao Mingguo, and that is that Xiao Jiu is gone. The last time Tailuo "sent news" was many years ago, that is, the sixth prince unfortunately died of illness, and according to the convention, Baomingguo needs to send another son.

In other words, the only meaning of Xiao Jiu to Baomingguo now is that he is still alive here. As long as he lives, that's enough, and no one will think about it unless he's dead. So in the eyes of many outsiders, Xiao Jiu's situation is very sympathetic - this child is really too ...... Finish.

So what about Tailuo, how many years has he been sent over? No one thought about whether he should change someone to garrison and let him return to his hometown, in fact, before Xiaoliu, there was still a son in Baomingguo who lived in another courtyard, but the steward has always been Tailuo.

Xiao Jiu said with a gloomy face: "Who said that no one cares, isn't this coming! I didn't expect that after so many years, what I was waiting for was an assassin who took his life...... Tailuo, there is no news from Bao Mingguo, but haven't you heard any rumors?"

Tailuo: "Recently, I have heard some rumors, it is said that your father is seriously ill, and I am afraid that the time is short." I came to you last month when I heard rumors, but you weren't in the mountains. ”

Xiao Jiu's eyes were inexplicably wet, and he sighed: "I know what's going on, someone doesn't even want to let me go...... After all, it's my father, and I should go back. ”

Tailuo tentatively persuaded: "If the prince wants to go back, it is better to take this opportunity to return to the country publicly." Although you have no foundation in the country, with the chaotic situation in the country and your means of cultivation, no one can compete with you. ”

Xiao Jiu shook his head and asked Qingniu: "Big Niu, will a person who drinks dew and eats Xia go out of his way to fight with others for a piece of stinky meat to eat?"

Qingniu also shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not speak, Xiao Jiu said to Tailuo again: "I am going to leave for a while, and some things are just being resolved." ”

Tailuo hurriedly said: "If you want to visit your father, you should too." I don't know who sent the assassin, but I can guess that it's your brother, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Jiu said expressionlessly: "Do you want to say that it is a little inappropriate for brothers to kill each other? If it is really one of my brothers who sent the assassin to do this kind of poison to me, although I don't want to pay attention to Baoming's state affairs, I can't keep this kind of person in the world." It happened to me, and I have both the reason and the means, do I want someone else to clean him up?"

The monarch of Baoming Kingdom is seriously ill, and all the princes in the country are vying for the throne, how could there be assassins who come to assassinate Xiao Jiu, who is hiding in Lu Zebu? Of course, it is because some people feel that Xiao Jiu is a threat, even if it is only a potential threat, the hidden danger must be eliminated in time. Xiao Jiu has no sense of existence on weekdays, and no one will come to trouble him, but under certain circumstances, his presence seems very special.

Some people see Xiao Jiu as a threat for at least three reasons. One is that although there are many sons in the country, there are not many who are healthy and adults. Xiao Jiu has just turned sixteen, and he only has five brothers still alive, all of whom are half-siblings.

The second is that Xiao Jiu has no bad deeds. This sounds a bit ridiculous, because Xiao Jiu has not been in the country at all these years, but it is true. Several of his brothers have bad deeds, such as bullying men and women, and almost everyone in the country knows about them.

The third is that Xiao Jiu not only has no bad deeds, but also has contributed to the country. In the eyes of onlookers, he was far away from his hometown for the country at a young age, came to a place where he had no relatives, and endured humiliation and burdens for so many years.

In fact, none of these three are decisive factors, and if you want to compete for the position, you must have the power to support yourself, but if you have the support power to compete with the competition, then these three will become the decisive factor. It is impossible for Xiao Jiu to establish a support force in the country, and some people are afraid of him and even want to assassinate him, the most critical reason is precisely that he has been in Lu Zebu for so many years.

Such fears are not unfounded. If Xiao Jiu really had the heart to compete for the throne, with his ingenuity, he might have thought of various ways to tie up with the magnates of the Lu Ze Ministry, try to tie up with Lord Bojun, and promise himself to become the monarch in the future, and promise various benefits such as Lu Zebu or related people, in exchange for Lu Zebu's support for him to ascend the throne.

Whoever has been in Lu Zebu for so many years, or even grew up in Lu Ze, has the conditions to do such a thing. Even if Xiao Jiu doesn't have this kind of thought, others have to believe it! As long as there is such a possibility, it is a great hidden danger. If someone in Baoming Kingdom planted eyeliner in Lu Zebu, they might also learn that Xiao Jiu's whereabouts have been mysterious in recent years, and he even often appears quietly in the city.

Even if you know this, someone else will not want to live this kind of life, and it also means losing power in the country. Xiao Jiu's threat said that it was easy to do if it was difficult to do, and it was enough to get rid of him, so the assassin came.
