The two monarchs of the hundred skeletons went straight north and returned to the Great Liao Kingdom to resume their lives.

Xiao Feng first calculated that the envoys of the Song Dynasty would not be assassinated so easily, and also calculated that the people of Luo Shengtang were just the remnants of the lost dogs, but he was not so sure, to be precise, he did not expect many key eyebrows that came and went. Therefore, he sent Dongtang Duanmu and Xitang Dongye to the Song Kingdom to inquire about the news.

The remaining three people of this Rashengtang were also eaten by the Hundred Skull Hall. Let them escape to the ends of the earth, as long as they are still on this continent, they will never be able to escape the surveillance and pursuit of the Liao assassins.

Today, the Liao, Song, and Jurchen kingdoms are divided into three parts, and the ethnic states of the Western Regions, such as the Western Xia and Xizhou Uighurs, are very different from these three forces in terms of financial resources, military strength, and population. Therefore, the self-confidence of the two kings of the hundred skeletons is reasonable, just as Xiao Fengxian's self-confidence is also reasonable, because the Liao State is undoubtedly the most powerful of the three forces.

Out of the northern territory of the Song Kingdom to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, which belonged to the management of the Southern Courtyard King of the North and South Courts of the Liao Kingdom. The King of the Southern Yuan abolished the Taibao two years ago, and is now in charge of the positions of governor, taishi, situ, and sikong.

At that time, the king of the Southern Courtyard was Xihe Qi, a native of Xihe in the Liao Kingdom, who cultivated the "Black Fire Sword Sutra" and had broken through the sixth-stage Wuyang Realm priesthood. In terms of age, he is only forty years old, and he is already outstanding in the same age, which is why Xiao Fengxian took a fancy to him and entrusted him with important tasks.

The two gentlemen of the hundred skeletons arrived at the Great King's Mansion in the Southern Courtyard, and Xihe Banner personally went out to greet them. As Xiao Shumi's envoy, Baikutang has always had a very high status in the imperial court, and has always been regarded as Xiao Fengxian's "living jade pendant", because almost all the tasks of Xiao Fengxian's foreign-related secret orders were completed by Baikutang. Therefore, no matter whether the Liao State is a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official, when he sees the two monarchs, he is regarded as a guest like Xiao Shumi.

Dongtang Duanmu said with a smile: "King Xihe's cultivation has improved a lot recently!"

Xiheqi said with a smile: "Thanks to Xiao Shumi and Erjun who can afford it, how can he not work hard to govern the country?"

When Xitang Dongye looked at the furnishings in his official office, there were vases from the Tang Zhenguan period, mica carved jujube wood bookcases, and many Chinese and Khitan sword scriptures were placed on the cabinets. On the side of the door, there are many pots of exotic flowers and plants, red and white, very cute. Looking around, what caught his attention the most was the short sword on the desk. The sword was about a foot long, with a scabbard three fingers wide and made of sandalwood. The head of the sword hangs a Jiangnan knot.

Higashino motioned for Duanmu to look at the sword.

Duanmu was taken aback.

Fish gut sword.

Dongye smiled: "How did the King of the West River collect this fish intestine sword?"

Xiheqi was sneaky, revealing an evil expression, and said, "Erjun come closer and talk." Beware of the second envoy of the Song State Tanmaru. ”

Duanmu snorted coldly and said, "I am a dignified Liao warrior, and I am still afraid that a little assassin like Nanban will not succeed!"

Xihe Qi said: "This time is not as good as in the past. Do you know that the death squad of the Song Kingdom today is no longer the kittens and shrimps before. Do you know how much this fish intestine sword ranks?"

Duanmu said: "Ten." That's exactly what I wanted to ask. ”

Xihe whispered, "That's exactly what I want to say. ”

Dong Ye questioned and said, "Isn't this sword in the hands of Tan Qingyun, a Song man?"

Xihe's eyes were murderous, his mouth was gritting his teeth, and suddenly he tore open his robe, revealing his chest.

When the two skulls saw it, they grinned and were taken aback. There is a three-finger-wide sword hole in the left chest of Xihe Banner, and it is obvious that the fish intestine sword in front of him is drilled out of the chest, and it is even more obvious that Xihe Banner has experienced a battle of life and death.

If this sword cave is deviated from the mouth socket again, the position of the king of the southern courtyard in front of him will have to be re-selected by Xiao Feng from the palace of the king of the northern courtyard.

So, this is exactly what shocked the two skulls. Because the person wearing this sword is Tan Qingyun, a sixth-stage fan swordsman of the Song Dynasty, that is to say, he is a whole grade higher than Xiheqi, the king of the Southern Courtyard. But the two monarchs of the hundred skeletons didn't know this, and they were shocked that they thought that the Xihe Banner had also entered the seventh stage.

In fact, except for the more advanced and high-level sword sutra exercises, there is not much difference between the rest of the sword cultivation techniques. When it comes to fighting on the battlefield of life and death, there are many uncontrollable factors. Instantaneous explosiveness, balance of mentality, level of means, coordination of eyes and body, etc. Except for the disparity between the ranks or the disparity between the high and low levels of the exercises, the rest of the individual factors are not enough to kill.

The two gentlemen of the hundred skeletons looked at the Xihe Banner in front of them with some surprise, there is a way to be a priest for three days, when they look at each other, it is true.

Xiheqi continued: "On that day, two strange grooms suddenly appeared in my house, one old and one young, I had never seen them before. Although I am a martial artist, my memory is not weak. As it turned out I was right, I asked them and found that they spoke a strange Khitan language, how to say it—it's just too fluent—"

The two skulls sighed in unison: "Too smooth?"

"Yes, it seems unnatural. Have you ever heard the Khitan language that is almost incessant?"

The two kings shook their heads.

"This shows that they have practiced many times in advance. They are not Khitans. Sure enough, they were exposed. The young man's sword stabbed at me—" Xihe Qi said lightly.

The two kings of the hundred skeletons tilted their heads sideways, as if they were facing a great enemy, they wanted to know how this king of the Southern Courtyard killed the second envoy of the pill.

"This young man is a cultivator below the fifth stage, if my guess is correct, he has just stepped into the fourth stage, and he is the same as the countless two envoys who came to the Liao Kingdom and died before. I only used two swords, one to be exact, separating his sword, and the other sword was going out with Yuan Qi and sticking it into his stomach. He died instantly. It's just that this older one is more troublesome, I don't know that he is Tan Qingyun, a master of sword cultivation in the Song Kingdom-"

Dong Ambition said: This "Black Fire Sword Sutra" is really domineering, it only took two swords to kill a four-stage sword path cultivator, and Xihe Banner really can't underestimate him.

The king of the Southern Courtyard continued: "I reflexively faced the older man, his sword stabbed at a very fast speed, I could hardly slash the sword at him, just raised it and crossed it, his sword, this fish intestine sword immediately stuck to my sword, I couldn't resist the power of his stabbing over, and retreated again and again, who knows, this person was lucky, and the fish intestine sword shot at me at the speed of a flying arrow." In fact, I had been prepared for a long time, and I was afraid of a sudden assassination, so when I drew my sword and fought the first person, I was lucky enough to cause a ball of flame true qi to attach to me. But even though I was fully prepared, and the black fire aura was already enveloping my body, his sword still broke through my aura and stabbed me in the chest and began to drill violently. I was thinking that if I hadn't been lucky with my body, this sword would have pierced my body and broken my bones. ”
