The atmosphere in the military tent was a little subtle.

Murong Xiaoshan has a straight temperament, Hong Shao is simple-minded, and neither of them can not hear the murderous intent in Cao Shen's words.

And Li Zijin, Xu Jinghong, and Chen Zhiyuan, one is a young man who is deep in the center of the whirlpool, one is well versed in Cao Shen's worship of the world, and the other is a Fengcha envoy who was born poor and wants to climb to a high position, so he has a lot of experience in observing words and emotions and figuring out the thoughts of the superiors.

The three of them, naturally, know it.

Li Zijin was silent.

The so-called birds are all hidden, rabbits and dogs are cooked, I'm afraid it's just that.

This feels like if he doesn't serve Liangguo, then the sword cultivator behind Cao Shen will most likely not let him get out of the military tent.

Cao Shen smiled and narrowed his eyes, waiting for the young man's answer, and did not urge.

And the immortal items in his hands that were wrapped in black cloth were the quenching sword stones that sword cultivators in the world dreamed of, which could polish the sword and sharpen the blade of the sword, so that its edge was not easy to fade.

Become a cool country to worship, enjoy glory and wealth.

Reject the offer, and die.

It seems, it's easy to choose.

Xu Jinghong pondered for a moment, and finally wanted to remind Li Zijin, he said softly: "Good birds choose trees to perch." As far as I know, Li Shaoxia is a casual cultivator, right? Xu was also a casual cultivator before, sword refining and qi refining are extremely consuming immortal money, without the support of the sect or secular dynasty, Xu has taken a lot ······of detours, but fortunately, with the help of Lord Xiangguo, I can successfully break through the realm of refining gods, and now the golden pill can be expected."

Cao Shen gently raised a hand to stop Xu Jinghong from continuing, and the latter closed his mouth in amusement.

At this moment, two "uninvited guests" came from outside the military tent.

"Dragon Slaying Sect Long Xiao is a real person, come to visit Lord Xiangguo. ”

Before the man had arrived, a strong wind blew and lifted the curtain of the general's tent.

Two figures appeared from outside the door curtain, one was an acquaintance of Li Zijin, and the other was a Taoist who claimed to be "Long Xiao Zhenren".

Xu Jinghong took a step forward and stood in front of Cao Shen for the first time.

Li Zijin slowly got up, hugged his fist at the cloth-clothed sword cultivator next to Long Xiao Zhenren, and said, "Brother Su." ”

That cloth-clothed sword cultivator was the Jindan Sword Immortal Su Hancai, who had been at the bottom of the cliff for seven days to protect Li Zijin.

He smiled and said, "Don't come unharmed, stuffy gourd." ”

Hong Shao caught a glimpse of the cloth-clothed sword cultivator, and pursed her lips slightly, she recognized that the person was the guy who had robbed her senior brother before. Although I don't know why the senior brother is not hostile to that person at the moment, but is a little close, the girl still doesn't like to see that guy.

I wanted to reach out and pull the white beard of the dragon sky.

After Xu Jinghong, Long Xiao Zhenren and Su Hancai glanced at each other, he put his hands behind his back, stretched out a finger towards Cao Xiangguo behind him, and then used his other hand to slowly bend that finger.

Then in Cao Shen's sight, the information he got was, "There is less than a chance of winning." ”

This Lord Xiangguo, naturally, has heard the name of the Dragon Slaying Sect, but he only knows that it is a group of perverse Qi Refiners, and the number of people in the sect is not large, but it seems that all the disciples are not small.

Liang Guo and the Dragon Slaying Sect had never dealt with each other before.

Cao Shen got up slowly, held the Kwai fan in his hand, and arched his hand towards Longxiao Zhenren and Su Hancai: "I have heard the name of the Dragon Slaying Sect for a long time, and today I can see the two Taoist masters. ”

Polite words are naturally indispensable. But the sincerity in Cao Shen's eyes made people feel as if he had really admired the name of the Dragon Slaying Sect for a long time, and respected him.

This person's mind is difficult to fathom. Li Zijin has secretly separated Liangguo from himself in his heart, and he doesn't plan to have anything to do with Liangguo.

It's not that he looks down on the co-optation of a small vassal country, but that he feels that after doing something for Liang Guo without asking for anything in return, what he gets in exchange is the result of "if he is not co-opted, he will die", which is a little chilling.

Brother Chen is a good person, Murong Xiaoshan is also a temperamental, and the female soldiers in the B-word account dare to say that they will die. Li Zijin respects them very much.

But that's about it.

At most, he revisited the old place, drinking a pot with Murong Xiaoshan, who had become a general of Dingshan, and Chen Zhiyuan, who was promoted to the border army, and talking at night. Let's talk about how the two sides are doing, and don't come unharmed.

As for the Liangguo temple or the bureaucrats dominated by Cao Shen, maybe these are not even snacks on the young man's wine table, and they are not worth mentioning.

It is even more impossible for him to agree to become the sword cultivator of Liangguo.

Long Xiaozhen's eyes swept over the people present in turn, and Su Hancai walked straight to Li Zijin's side and whispered a few words to the young man.

Cao Shen proposed: "Since the two Taoist masters are here, then Cao proposed to set up a banquet in the army, which can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for the two Taoist leaders, and celebrating the promotion of General Murong at the same time, how about it?"

Long Xiao Zhenren and Su Hancai naturally couldn't ask for it, and with the permission of the master, the two of them sat down.

Xu Jinghong slowly retreated behind Cao Shen.

Facing Su Hancai in the Jindan Realm, Xu Jinghong still had the hope of fighting hard, but in the face of Long Xiao Zhenren, who even he couldn't see the depth, this sword cultivator could only truthfully tell Cao Shen.

The latter is naturally aware of what is at stake.

Honghu Prefecture is not big, and it is not small to say that it is small, even if those strange-tempered Dragon Slaying Sect masters are not too appalling, but Cao Shen went to the border on this trip, not so arrogant that he only took Xu Jinghong alone, but Liangguo is a small vassal country, and the realm and number of offerings that can be invited are extremely limited.

Xu Jinghong, who was invited by his Cao Shen, was in the middle of the Divine Refining Realm, and he was even a sword cultivator, and he was already a Qi refiner who could walk sideways in a country.

Who knows that such a pimple where birds don't can appear at the same time two immortals above the Jindan realm?

Don't look at Xu Jinghong's distance from the Jindan Realm, he is already very close.

But compared to Su Hancai, who had already stepped into Jindan, and the Long Xiao Zhenren beside him, who was very likely to be a great cultivator of the Yuan Infant Realm, there was a world of difference.

Even if it is with Su Hancai, there must be a refining god and a golden pill, there is only one realm missing, only the golden pill the size of a fingernail in the body. It was as if a moat had separated the two of them. Between the Refining God Realm and the Jindan Realm, there is an insurmountable gap.

The difference between mortals and earth immortals.

The difference between a human being and an immortal.

Even if it is just an earth immortal, it can prolong life for decades, and live to an advanced age of more than 100 years, which is much stronger than the physique.

And the cultivators, the favorite word - chance.

Earth immortals have a few decades longer than ordinary qi refiners, and they are more able to travel between heaven and earth against the wind and sword, and they have a few more decades to find opportunities, which is almost equivalent to taking away all the good things before those monks under the realm of earth immortals.

It must be known that there are many opportunities between heaven and earth. Assuming that the fate is ten, and the predecessors take nine, then the descendants can only fight one of them.

What's more, for example, some immortal swords that only recognize the master in their lives, as well as some ingenious immortal treasures, after identifying a master, even if the master dies, he does not want to be touched by others, and will follow the master to shatter the jade, and disappear from heaven and earth.

For example, under the "realm of selflessness", Li Zijin comprehended the two sword intents of spring breeze and spring rain, and if he got it to the young man, he would not give it to other sword cultivators in the world.

Those cave heaven blessed land, immortal secret realm, ancient battlefield, even more so.

Whether it is the magic weapon or the exercises, or the inheritance left by the ancestors, it will only become less and less.

The further you go on the path of cultivation, the faster you go, the more you will be able to get the gifts of heaven and earth and feel the gifts of heaven.

Those who walk behind can only pick up what their predecessors don't want, pick up what their predecessors missed, and pick up some opportunities to "retreat to the second".

Just like in the secular dynasty, land, gold, silver, minerals, and ten percent of the resources are only in the hands of the Yicheng dynasty.

And the remaining 10% of the resources are left to the other 90% of the small vassal states to grab, and they will pay countless blood for this, and the price is not low.

In the world of the immortals on the mountain, the higher the realm of the Qi Refiner, the magic weapons, exercises, and killing moves on the body are naturally far beyond the lower realm of the Qi Refiner. This is to walk ahead and accumulate enough opportunities.

Those mountain sects that can last for more than a hundred years, without exception, have experienced strong winds and waves, and survived the wind and waves, "picking up" countless opportunities, so as to strengthen the sect.

Therefore, the older the mountain sect, the stronger the strength, and the realm of the disciples under the sect is stronger from generation to generation.

In comparison, in secular dynasties, the continuation of the national honor is much more complicated. More often than not, the older a dynasty is, the more likely it is to fall apart.

The root cause is that there are "too many people".

The more people there are, the more ideas there are. When people's hearts diverged, they began to form gangs.

Looking at the general trend of the world, throughout the long history.

Whether it is a secular dynasty or a small vassal state.

Whether it is a temple or a people, factional disputes almost never stop.

Where there is strife, there is loss. The greater the strife, the greater the loss.

And whichever faction wins, profits. In the end, it will be the national honor that will be lost.

No matter how many disciples there are in the Immortal Sect on the mountain, even if it is the top ten sects in Fuyao, there are only tens of thousands of disciples.

But in a small vassal country, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

Not to mention the ten major dynasties in the world, almost all of which have tens of millions of people.

When the territory is large and there are many people, it will be difficult to govern. There are no immortals' "exploring the heart lake" and "watching the mountains and rivers" and other supernatural arts.

The relationship between monarchs and ministers is so delicate that it must be balanced by mutual suspicion, mutual camouflage, and mutual compromise.

Estrangement and strife also ignited between members of the royal family and civil righteous people, slowly burning, and finally evolved into a fire that was enough to burn the prairie fire.

Therefore, whether it is the lifespan of the people on the mountain or the lifespan of the immortal sect on the mountain, it is far more than the lifespan of the people under the mountain and the dynasty under the mountain.

This is also the reason why Xu Jinghong is completely indifferent to the promotion of Chen Zhiyuan and Murong Xiaoshan, and the gold and silver.

The people under the mountain are promoted to become wealthy, and they just enjoy it for decades.

But if you form a golden pill and gain immortality, it will be a hundred years and a thousand years.

Most of the Qi Refiners' thoughts are the same as Xu Jinghong's.

Everyone agreed to Cao Shen's proposal. Murong Xiaoshan immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet.

In the heart of this female general, the military order is like a mountain.

And the words of the Lord Xiangguo, who can even give orders on behalf of the king, are naturally not much different from the oracle in the hearts of the female generals.

Cao Shen said that she wanted to hold a big banquet, so she Murong Xiaoshan should do it.

As soon as it was dark, the feast was ready.

The entire B-word tent is filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Bonfires, music, singing and dancing, and martial arts performances.

Inside and outside the tent, everyone was beaming, as if in just a few months, it had already passed the second Chinese New Year's Eve.

In the military tent, melons, fruits, wine and dishes are readily available, looking at the group of singers and dancers who were specially invited, Cao Shen held the wine glass, stunned.

The timing of the appearance of Long Xiao Zhenren and Su Hancai was too "coincidence".

Immediately, the atmosphere present was a little ambiguous.

Cao Shen is not a fool. Naturally, he didn't say a word about asking Li Zijin to become the worship of Liangguo before, but between words, he still threw the thing wrapped in black cloth in his hand to the young swordsman in a black and red brocade robe.

Li Zijin took the thing, opened the black cloth and saw that the thumb-sized stone inside was shining brightly, exuding aura, and the Cuiqu sword on his back began to tremble faintly, as if he was a little excited.

The young man recognized that this was the quenching sword stone that the world's sword cultivators coveted, and the price varied according to the quality, size, and the amount of aura left. The extremely high-quality quenching sword stone is even comparable to the price of a magic weapon of the immortal family.

Right now, the thumb-sized quenching sword stone in the young man's hand, according to the market price, will cost at least twenty to thirty frost dollars.

After careful calculation, it is almost equivalent to half a three-grade Rui Beast Golden Turtle!

Li Zijin was not polite to the magnanimous Lord Xiangguo, took the quenching sword stone in his pocket, and deliberately hugged his fist towards Cao Shen, and said with a smile: "More rewards from Cao Xiangguo." ”

With that, he sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.

The latter just smiled and nodded, and said no more.

Hong Shao smelled the wine and wanted to take a sip. was strictly stopped by Li Zijin, and he didn't remember the little junior sister's temperament, for fear that she would do something ridiculous after drinking.

According to the young man's idea, as soon as the banquet was over tonight, he would take his little junior sister to hurry overnight, leave the Yizi tent, leave Liangguo, and continue to go north along the Bailong River.

Su Hancai sat next to Li Zijin, raised his wine glass, and said softly after clinking glasses with the young man: "Do you have a lot of questions to ask, for example, why did I appear with the people of the Dragon Slaying Sect, and it was such a coincidence?"

Li Zijin nodded and shook his head, and said confidently: "I actually already have the answer to the first question. The reason why Senior Su appeared at the same time as the Dragon Slaying Sect's Dragon Slaying Sect's Long Xiao Dao Master was because Senior Su was a member of the Dragon Slaying Sect. The second question, the juniors are just guessing and not being sure. The timing of the appearance of the seniors and the Longxiao Daoist was impartial, just after Cao Xiangguo's question that secretly killed him, presumably the two seniors had been nearby all the time, and they didn't want to show up, just to relieve the siege for Zaixia, so they were willing to show up, I don't know, did the junior guess right?"

"Good guess. The cloth-clothed sword fairy smiled and drank the wine in the cup, and casually filled the wine glass for himself and the young swordsman.

The young man was not complacent, but suddenly said, "But······ When it comes to doubts, the younger generation does have something unclear, and I hope that the seniors will tell the truth. ”

The cloth-clothed sword fairy said "oh?", waved his hand and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Li Zijin took off the Cuiqu sword behind him and put it on the table intentionally or unintentionally, and Xu Jinghong in the distance sat alone in the corner, drinking gloomily.

The young man got up slowly, and whispered to Su Hancai with deep meaning: "Senior Su, wait for me for a while." ”

Under Su Hancai's gaze, the young man in black and red brocade walked to the corner empty-handed, and finally sat down beside Xu Jinghong.

The two seemed to have talked for a while, and after pushing the cup and changing the lamp a few times, Li Zijin left Xu Jinghong with his fists in his fists, sat back next to Su Hancai, took a sip of wine, and continued to ask the question: "I heard that in the few days I was in a coma, Princess Shuyao was sent back to Ping'andu intact. Is that the case?"

"So you're asking this. Su Hancai smiled and generously admitted: "It is indeed Su who came forward and asked Linglong City for someone back." However······ Don't be too self-conscious, this is what the sect master means, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

In order to dispel the doubts in the young man's heart, Su Hancai also mentioned: "The matter of the ambush in the Yizi account has been clarified, and it is a double-faced spy planted by Fengguo in Ping'andu, and he has previously sent two replies to the Liangguo court, both of which are news that the other party intends to let the Liangguo court know." So he has never made a mistake in the past ten years and has won the trust of the imperial court.

This time, it was revealed to Fengguo that Princess Shuyao was captured by Linglong City, so that Fengguo could design an ambush for the Yizi Tent. They have coveted the Lihu Mountain Range for a long time, and they want the Liangguo Imperial Court to make a choice between the Yizi Tent and the Lihu Mountain Range, no matter which side they choose, Fengguo will benefit. However, your appearance shattered their plans.

To put it bluntly, that spy is a chess piece arranged by Fengguo in Liangguo, a double-sided spy. After these things were confessed, he was beheaded. ”

Li Zijin nodded. In this way, some things make sense.

"Then why did Linglong City arrest Princess Shuyao of Liangguo?" the young man asked again.

Buyi Sword Immortal shook his head and smiled: "Li Zijin, you have too many questions. I like your character, but that doesn't mean I'm going to tell you anything. Besides, these bad things about the small vassal country have nothing to do with you, so what do you care about him?"

Oh, yes. Regardless of his conspiracy, he is conspiratory, and he is calculating.

As long as these calculations are not calculated on him Li Zijin, then there is no reason to get to the bottom of it.

What's more, the young man's original intention was to save Princess Shuyao, and now that the princess of Liangguo has returned to the territory safely and soundly, it has nothing to do with him whether it is the aftermath or the Linglong City.

Su Hancai suddenly smiled strangely: "But then again, you stuffy gourd, you really don't squint?"

Li Zijin, who didn't know why, "Ah?". Then I saw Su Hancai look at him, and looked at the center of the military tent with the eyes that seemed to be smiling, it was the group of dancing girls, who were dancing through songs, with charming makeup, enchanting posture, and beautiful dancing.

It turned out that Senior Su was saying that this eye does not squint.

Li Zijin said angrily: "You are all Jindan Immortals, and you are also a righteous cultivator, why don't you know that a person who is tethered to the heart ape and subdues the horse?"

The cloth-clothed sword fairy snorted, pointed at the stuffy gourd swordsman and scolded with a smile: "A fake and serious stuffy gourd, do you know that when you were unconscious at the bottom of the cliff, you kept chanting a name in your mouth?!"

As soon as Su Hancai's words fell, the girl in white, who was feasting, suddenly pricked up her ears curiously and leaned over here.

When Li Zijin heard this, he instantly blushed and was a little embarrassed.

Could it be that he really said something that shouldn't have been said when he was in a coma, and Senior Su heard it?

Name, whose name?

Su Hancai smiled, looking at the young swordsman who had changed his outfit playfully, and the teasing on his face couldn't be more obvious. Li Zijin swallowed his saliva, waiting for a name to really come out of Senior Su's mouth, which could be regarded as giving him a good time.

It's so draining, it's really torturous.

Who knew that the two of them stared at each other for a while, and finally the cloth-clothed sword fairy laughed, pointed at Li Zijin and smiled: "Hahaha, how else to say that you are a stuffy gourd, you were in a coma at the time, sleeping like a dead pig, and you still called a fart name, do you believe this kind of nonsense? ”

The young man in a black and red brocade robe closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

Try to restrain yourself from the idea of slashing this person with a sword, after all, that person is a Jindan Sword Immortal.

Just make fun of it.

Bear with it!

What the young man thought, why was it not a taste in his heart, and in the end he could only bury his head in the drunk.

The girl in white sitting next to Li Zijin couldn't hear the name, and she was also a little disappointed.

It seems that the senior brother mentioned that he likes a girl, and the girl also accompanied the senior brother to the Flying Sword Hall in the city that never sleeps to send two letters.

It's just that who is the girl's surname, Hong Shao has never heard the senior brother say in detail. I thought I could know it from Su Hancai's mouth.

The girl nibbled on a large piece of plum and ate it "viciously".

On the other side, Long Xiao Zhenren, who was naturally sitting next to Cao Shen, and the Xiangguo Lord were drinking and chatting.

The two old guys who met for the first time are really like old friends who have known each other for many years, and old friends are reunited. The acting skills are all top-notch.

Between the words, Long Xiao Zhenren "inadvertently" mentioned that he was already in the Yuan Infant Realm. also "inadvertently" mentioned that Li Shaoxia is also a junior descendant whom he values very much. "Unintentionally", he mentioned that the Dragon Slaying Sect once asked a small vassal country of the sword, and only overnight it stirred up the old things of that small country like chopping melons and vegetables.

Don't look at it all laughing and talking about these things about the old sesame seeds and rotten grains, but the "extra-verbal meaning" that the words want to express cannot be more threatening.

This dragon slaying ancestor who occupies a place in the hall of the ancestor of the dragon slaying sect, after talking for a long time, he just wants to express a meaning.

The world's qi refiners are not constrained by secular dynasties.

Among the Qi Refiners, sword cultivation is not controlled by others.

Lao Tzu is willing to stay as an offerer and guest, and it is his mother's to give you face. Lao Tzu is a sword cultivator, of course, he can leave whenever he wants.

Put away the set of birds in your temple that are hidden from the bows, and the rabbits and dead dogs are cooked. The people under the mountain dare to threaten the people on the mountain? Why the hell will you be killed if you don't get co-opted? Why don't you try it?

Li Zijin is a sword cultivator, a native of the mountain, and a junior who I like very much in the Dragon Slaying Sect.

It's not about protecting the calf, it's just pleasing to the eye.

But just by Lao Tzu's pleasing to the eyes, if you Liangguo dare to play some bad trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and hurt that descendant surnamed Li, I don't mind cutting a small vassal country again.

Let you, old men who work all day long, know what it means:

Wrath of the Immortals.
