Chapter Twenty-Five: Go to the Divine Capital to See the King of the County Again
In the dim twilight sky, Xu Beiyou finally approached this divine capital for the second time, where one hundred and five emperors had their capital.
The gods are still as majestic as before, but there are traces of vicissitudes everywhere, just like an old man, no matter how old and strong, he will eventually be no match for the ruthlessness of the years and the time is like a knife, and the hero is twilight.
Although Xu Beiyou changed into clean clothes in advance, his white hair was still very eye-catching, so he did not walk through the city gate according to the normal rules, but flew directly into the city.
Before leaving, he had done some homework on the people he was going to meet on this trip, and he had a general understanding of everyone.
Xiao Quji itself is not very brilliant, his father also died young, and he did not have much achievement, but his grandfather Xiao Gongyu is very famous.
Xiao Gongyu is the cousin of Emperor Wuzu Xiao Lie, the cousin of Emperor Taizu Xiao Yu, in the early years of following Emperor Wuzu to start an incident, in charge of the power of the Eastern Capital, when Emperor Xiao entered the south, Xiao Gongyu forced Emperor Zheng Ai Emperor Qin Xian to open the city to greet him, and then followed Emperor Xiao to participate in the battle of Dingding, with outstanding achievements, after the establishment of the Great Qi State, he was named the Shangzhu State, the Prince Taifu, the special Jin Guanglu doctor, and the king of Liangwu County, which was the pillar of the Xiao clan in the early years.
At that time, the Xiao clan could be roughly divided into three factions, and Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, was his own faction, although there was only one person, but the power was the most huge, and even the royal family was afraid of three points. The Hou Jian Xiao clan is the weakest, but it is also the most grouped, headed by Xiao Shu, the king of Lingwu County, and as for the remaining Xiao clan in the eastern capital, they have the closest relationship with the royal family, and everything is based on the royal family as the head of the horse, and Xiao Gongyu as the mainstay.
When the current emperor inherited the throne, Xiao Gongyu and Xiao Shu, these old ministers passed away one after another, and the Xiao family in the eastern capital was scattered, and the later Xiao family was headed by Xiao Maha, the son of Xiao Shu.
It's a pity that the king of Liangwu County, who was also in power back then, has become a nominal empty county king when it reaches Xiao Quji's generation, and he has even been unable to gain a foothold in the center of the imperial capital and has to return to the fiefdom.
After Xu Beiyou entered Luoyang City, he did not rush to the county king's mansion, after all, the divine capital is where the Yuzhou Secret Guard Mansion is located, he does not dare to conclude whether Duanmu Ruisheng has a back hand here, the previous matter of the Beichan Temple, it can be regarded as allowing Xu Beiyou to really see the means of the Secret Guard Mansion, he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter and die under the god destroying arrow and fire thunder.
It is said that he is good at a secret technique that is close to "words and laws", which can confuse people's minds, and once relied on the power of "words" alone to make a person who is in a state of mind immortal master self-harm and died, although Xu Beiyou is known for his character, but he does not dare to ensure that he can deal with it perfectly.
Xu Beiyou came to an ordinary alley and walked slowly step by step.
......
The palace of Liangwu County is located in the center of the Shendu, not to mention the size of the palace compared with the palace of Wei and the palace of Qi, it is far from the palace of Lingwu County, but this palace is a unique cave, the inside is very exquisite, and it is known as one of the ten views of the capital of God.
Xiao Quji, who had nothing to do all day, was in a pavilion in the palace's back mansion today, bathed in the warm autumn breeze of the afternoon, drowsy.
The old servant, who had served the three county kings, hurried to the outside of the pavilion and waved his hand to the several women who were waiting in the pavilion, signaling them to retreat.
After the maids left the place, the old servant quietly walked into the pavilion and said softly, "Your Highness." ”
Xiao Quji, who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, didn't open his eyes and asked, "Lao Wang, what's the matter?"
Lao Wang said in a low voice: "The person we planted in the Dark Guard Mansion has sent news that the young master of the Sword Sect has left Ruyang Mansion the day before yesterday, if he comes directly to the Divine Capital, calculate the time, it should be almost there." ”
Xiao Qu opened his eyes violently, and said in a rather complicated tone: "Young Master Xu Beiyou of the Sword Sect!"

Lao Wang continued: "There is also news that this Xu Gongzi was ambushed by the Secret Guard Mansion in Ruyang Mansion, and the huge Beichan Temple was destroyed in one fell swoop, but Xu Gongzi was safe and sound, and later chased and killed all the people who were ambushed. ”
"Alone?" Xiao Quji's face was solemn.
"Alone. "Lao Wang's face sank like water, as the number one master in the palace, he naturally knew the heavy weight of this, fifty crossbowmen, thirty horsemen, a master of the Dark Guard Mansion who should be in the realm of earth immortals, plus many other factors that are not yet clear, killing an earth immortal realm is by no means a fool's dream, but even so, it is a fiasco.
"How many buildings should that Xu Gongzi have now?" Xiao Quji suddenly asked.
Lao Wang sighed helplessly: "It should almost be the realm of the Earth Immortal Four-story Building or the Five-Story Building." ”
Xiao Quji's face was complicated, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's only been two years, this Xu Gongzi has inexplicably landed in Jiangdu, didn't he say that if you want to set foot in the Earth Immortal Realm, you have to go through a lot of difficulties and dangers, why did you come here like a joke?"
He asked curiously, "Old Wang, do you know how he climbed the realm?"
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "The old slave doesn't know, but I think it should be the secret method of the Sword Sect, and the power of the whole sect is poured into Xu Beiyou alone, so he can have the feat of jumping into the twelve realms in two consecutive years." ”
Xiao Quji sighed, "Isn't this a big gamble, if Xu Beiyou can live up to his high hopes and become the next Great Sword Immortal Shangguan Xianchen, then it will naturally be a big profit, but if Xu Beiyou unfortunately dies halfway, won't he lose all his money?"
Lao Wang nodded and said: "It is indeed a big gamble, but it is also a helpless move after the Sword Sect is cornered, since the death of the Sword Sect Sect Master Gongsun Zhongmou, the Sword Sect has become a soft persimmon in the eyes of others, successively Murong Xuanyin, Demon Suppression Palace, Zhang Zhaonu and others are eyeing each other, Zhang Xueyao is afraid that he is alone, the only way out for the Sword Sect at the moment is to attach himself to our court, Xu Beiyou This person, who has both the old father-in-law of the Korean Pavilion and the blue eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, is naturally the most suitable candidate, and it is also worth the Sword Sect to bet on him and make a big gamble. ”
After all, Xiao Quji is from the clan, not a real straw bag, since he was a child, he also has his own opinions on this, he said slowly: "The Sword Sect is the right move, but the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, can you win this game of chess, come to a willow and a bright flower, it depends on their creation, Lao Wang, if the young master of the Sword Sect comes to the door, do you say we will see it or not?"
Lao Wang leaned forward slightly, and said softly: "Everything is under the orders of His Highness." ”
Xiao Quji said to himself: "In all fairness, I like the Sword Sect more than the Daomen, and even hate the Daomen a little, but to talk about the current situation, the Sword Sect is clearly slaughtered by others, and there are only a few remnants left, no matter how you look at it, it is a situation that is bound to lose, unless it is the opponent's own stupid move, there is no reason to win." ”
Lao Wang suddenly said: "Today's Daomen is in chaos, the three disciples in charge of the Zhenren are divided into three factions, fighting for the position of a first disciple, and even placing their party struggle above the entire Daomen, which is not a good thing." ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and sighed: "It's a pity that Du Haiyun was treated as an outcast, and the huge Jiangnan Daomen was torn apart. ”
Xiao Quji's eyes lit up, "In this way, the Dao Sect has really been in a daze during this time, so we might as well meet this young master of the Sword Sect." ”
