Chapter 136: The Old Man
"October 15, the Lake God Conference, it's really fate!"
Sitting in an inn in the capital of Cao Kingdom, holding a wine glass in his hand, he listened to the people around him talk about the Lake God Conference. Xiao Qingfeng had an inexplicable smile on his face. I still remember that it was also this scene back then, but my current self is not comparable to that back then. Even if the lake god is resurrected, he is confident that he will fight a big battle.
"This brother, don't mind setting up a table, right?"
Just as Xiao Qingfeng was recalling the events of that year, a deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
When I turned my head, I saw two men in their thirties standing at the table. One of them was a stout man with a saber at his waist, and the other was a little thinner with a saber at his waist.
Seeing this, Xiao Qingfeng glanced around again, and found that the others were full of tables, and he was the only one here.
"It's okay, please take a seat!"
Xiao Qingfeng replied softly. Even when he was eating, he didn't remove the two swords behind him, and this outfit could make many people daunted. Come to think of it, this is also the reason why the other tables are full, and no one dares to come here himself.
"Brother Tai is not a native of the country, is he?"
After the two of them sat down, the sturdy man asked Xiao Er to come over and order, and the thin man asked with a smile, his eyes flashing with a gleam.
"Oh, how did Brother Tai see it?" Turning the wine glass in his hand slightly, Xiao Qingfeng asked with interest.
The person in front of him looked like he was only in his thirties, but his cultivation was already in the late stage of congenital development. In the congenital period, this statement is, of course, a secular statement. In fact, it is only the late stage of pseudo-congenital, and in terms of strength, I am afraid that it is a step worse than the late stage of qi refining.
However, even this is rare in the world. If there is an opportunity, it may not be impossible to break through to the true innate realm.
"The master of the younger generation of Cao Guo, Li knows a little bit about it, but he doesn't know Brother Tai, so he has this guess. β
Xiao Qingfeng's appearance has always remained at the age of twenty-four or five, although the other party is also a master, how can he see that he is already in the foundation realm.
"Brother Li has the confidence to say this, it seems that he has an extraordinary status in the army!" Putting down the wine glass and staring at the person in front of him, Xiao Qingfeng said with a faint smile on his face.
"Oh, brother, I can see that Li is from the army?"
Xiao Qingfeng's words made the other party solemn for a while, and his body instantly tensed. He thought that there was no flaw in his body, and even the saber on his body was replaced in advance, but he didn't expect to be seen by the other party.
The other party's reaction made Xiao Qingfeng smile and explained: "The killing aura of the generals in the army is different from that of ordinary people in the martial arts. Most of your martial arts are open and close, fierce and domineering, plus there are a lot of lives in your hands, and the bloody atmosphere is very strong. Although you disguised it well, it still did not escape my perception. β
"I didn't expect Brother Tai's perception to be so keen, Li admired!" Just stunned for a moment, the man who claimed to be Li relaxed and arched his hand with a smile.
"Actually, there's one thing I want to ask my brother. β
Slowly turning the wine glass with his left hand, pinching his chin with his right hand, Xiao Qingfeng said with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Staring at Xiao Qingfeng's hand turning the wine glass, the man who claimed to be Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hand slowly moved to his waist and held the handle of the knife. And the man next to him, quietly pulling away a little, also held the hilt of the knife.
"Xiao entered the city yesterday and arrived at the inn during this period, there were no less than five people following him along the way. Even if Xiao rested in the evening, there were still two people who worked tirelessly to guard it. β
Speaking of this, ignoring the horror of the two, Xiao Qingfeng said to himself: "And when the two of them came, they deliberately waited outside for a while, and they didn't come in until the other tables were full, I wonder if you can explain a little?"
Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, the sturdy man stood up instantly, pulled out the saber on his waist, and stared at Xiao Qingfeng's eyes full of solemnity.
And the man next to him, who called himself Li, also stood up, his face was solemn, and said: "Li Mou is Li Qun, the commander of the Great Cao Forbidden Army, responsible for the security of the imperial city and the capital, and now I want to ask the young man to move to a place with Li." β
"Are you the commander of the forbidden army?" Xiao Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and asked, "Since you are the commander of the forbidden army, can you meet Cao Quyang?"
"Bastard, dare to call His Majesty by his name!"
As soon as Xiao Qingfeng's words fell, the man with the knife on the side shouted angrily, and then swung the knife and slashed.
The speed of the man is extremely fast in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not enough in the eyes of Xiao Qingfeng. The empty right hand stretched out, pumping little by little at a very fast speed, and before the other party could react, the saber in the opponent's hand had already fallen on his hand.
Xiao Qingfeng and their side moved, and the entire inn instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes were fixed on this side. The sharp-eyed ones had already recognized Li Qun and the others, and their bodies moved back slightly, obviously not wanting to be involved. And more people did come over to see the excitement.
"Young man is a good means. β
It was just a simple move, Xiao Qingfeng raised another notch in the other party's heart, his face was extremely solemn, but he didn't dare to make a move. With Li Qun's knowledge, Fang Cai's move seems simple, but in fact, it requires strong eyes and speed, and he can't do it himself.
"I'm not here to find trouble. If you can see Cao Quyang, say that the old man is here. β
Glancing at the surrounding onlookers, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly lost interest, and it was really not interesting to bully two pseudo-congenital juniors with the cultivation of the foundation realm. After finishing speaking, he threw away the knife in his hand, then got up, turned around and went up to the second floor.
During the whole process, Li Qun stared at Xiao Qingfeng with a solemn face, tightened the handle of the knife in his hand several times, and finally let go helplessly.
"My lord, what do we do now?"
The strong man is still palpitating, and he can get a good position in the forbidden army, and he is naturally not a fool. Just by the move just now, he knew that the other party was not something he could afford to provoke.
"Go back to the palace!" After thinking for a moment, Li Qun had a choice.
After returning to the room, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly patted his head in annoyance, he forgot to ask the other party just now why he was looking for him. Now I want to ask, but I feel a little unable to let go.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qingfeng finally shook his head: "Forget it, I just want to find out about the Protector God." It is better not to be contaminated with these worldly things. β
Thinking so, Xiao Qingfeng also put aside his distracting thoughts, stayed in the room and began to comprehend the Yuanyang Sword Technique.
Dacao Imperial Palace, in a large hall.
There were three people standing in the hall, one of them was a middle-aged man in a dragon robe, next to him was a palace beauty, and the last person who had been bowing slightly was Li Qun in armor.
"You say, he said he was my old man?"
Cao Quyang frowned slightly, thinking carefully about who this self-proclaimed old man was.
Now, Cao Quyang is approaching the age of not being confused, and his majesty has left a short beard. After five years on the throne, the scholarly spirit of the year was completely gone, and there was already a respectful imperial spirit on his body.
"Back to Your Majesty, that's what the man said. β
Li Qun bowed in response, and after coming out of the inn, he went back to the palace directly and reported to Cao Quyang about the matter.
"You first explain the matter to Your Majesty. β
The palace beauties beside Cao Quyang spoke. This beauty looks about thirty, and her appearance is not overwhelming, but she has a heroic spirit on her body, and looking at the momentum on her body, she is not weak in her cultivation.
"Yesterday, the sergeants under the command of the minister discovered a group of mysterious people entering the city. The minister dealt with the people in the rivers and lakes in the usual way, and went to the inn today. Andβ"
Li Qun told how to find the other party, how to track the other party, how to find the other party, and what happened after finding it, all of which were told in 1510.
"You say that person is only twenty-four or five years old?" Cao Quyang said with a frown, "Since I ascended the throne, I have rarely left the palace, if it is really an old man, it must be someone I knew before." This person has such cultivation, and he can definitely be regarded as a young talent back then, but in my impression, there is no such person. β
"It does look like he is only twenty-four or five in appearance, and his subordinates don't know the specific age. Li Qun replied.
"Alright, you go down first. Just send some people to watch him from afar, and don't disturb him. After pondering for a moment, Cao Quyang waved his hand and commanded.
"Yes, the minister retired. Li Qun replied and slowly withdrew from the main hall.
After Li Qun left, Cao Quyang asked the beauty beside him, "Zitong, what do you think?"
The palace beauty said: "Many people who have cultivated to a high level can maintain their appearance. Looks don't tell you how old you are. The concubine felt that it was better for His Majesty to go and see him, and if it was really an old man, it would not be a good thing to ask him to help. β
Speaking of this, Liren sighed: "The day of this Lake God Conference is the day of the gods, many people don't want to see Dacao have the protector god again, in the capital, I don't know how many people with ghosts are lurking, and there are many masters waiting outside the city." β
"Alas!" Speaking of this, Cao Quyang sighed, "In the past few years, although Da Cao has Qiulan Valley to help, he is still full of evil. If it doesn't succeed this time, Da Cao Guoyun will be embarrassed!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, with the help of the sect, it will definitely succeed. β
The palace beauty grabbed Cao Quyang's hand and encouraged. This beauty's name is Song Rulin, she is a disciple of Qiulan Valley, and she got acquainted with Cao Quyang, who was still a prince, during a trip. The two fell in love with each other after some hardships, and after Cao Quyang ascended the throne, he canonized her as the queen.
"Are you sure that the matter of sealing the gods is okay?" Cao Quyang was still a little worried, and said, "The matter of sealing the gods has always been handled by the Yuanyang Shangzong, although Qiulan Valley has a sealing rune, but if there is no sealing god handprint, it will not help. What's more, this is the protector of the country, if you are not careful, you will lose all the games!"
"Don't worry, the two senior sisters have been cultivating in Yuanyang Shangzong for five years, and they have already learned the handprint of the gods. You are also familiar with the two senior sisters, and you should know their qualifications. The palace beauty stretched out her hand to soothe Cao Quyang's frowning brows, and comforted her.
"I hope so!" took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, Cao Quyang said softly.
What happened in the Great Cao Palace, Xiao Qingfeng didn't know.
At this moment, he was preparing to do one thing, and that was to go to Zhenguo Lake to find out. He wanted to know what was going on with Da Cao's protector god.
Is there a wild god stealing the throne? Or is there no protector god at all, and everything is a means for the Dacao royal family to deceive the people? )
