In the afternoon of that day, the weather turned from sunny to rainy, with drizzle falling all over the place. The sky and the earth seemed to be covered with a thin veil. In an unknown pine forest in the east of Xianyang City, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. Everything was withered, but the pine leaves looked even more beautiful under the drizzle. Green and lush.
Cheng Qiao was wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat, standing on a piece of bluestone with his hands behind his back. The slightly cold mountain wind blew by, and the hem of his gold-rimmed Xuan-bottomed clothes fluttered slightly, motionless.
A figure quickly passed through the pine forest and suddenly appeared under the bluestone. He bowed his hands and said: "The silver ring is late, please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter, I came a little early."
Cheng Qiao raised his head, and his figure flashed under the bluestone. He was no longer condescending, and his voice was gentle.
Yinhuan's eyes moved slightly, feeling a little touched by Cheng Qiao's consideration and details.
Although the other party has always wanted to recruit him, and it is inevitable to have to pay attention to these details, it is not easy given the other party's status and power. He did not force him in the past and gave him enough respect.
"In the past, I saw that you were interested, but I never made up my mind. It would be very dangerous to be in two different situations. How are you thinking about it now?"
Cheng Qiao had recruited Yinhuan before, and Yinhuan was willing to help with some things, but Yinhuan never really joined him.
Because he was sure that Yinhuan would join him, and Luo Wang did not lack Yinhuan's combat power for the time being, Cheng Qiao did not press him, but now he couldn't. If he wanted to attack Lu Buwei, he had to make a choice.
"I have figured it out. A good man should take glory and wealth by himself with the sword in his hand!"
"To be fair, Mr. Lu is doing a good job here. There is no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He is always treated with courtesy."
"But that's on the surface. Judging from Prime Minister Lu's usual casual attitude, Prime Minister Lu actually doesn't really think highly of people like me."
"Jianghu people are always treated mediocrely among the retainers of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even if they become close guards, their treatment is only average, not as good as that of a retainer who catches Prime Minister Lu's eye with an article."
"Except for my strength, other things are considered rewards at best, or charity at worst. Sometimes I really feel a bit useless."
"Your Majesty has given us, the people of Jianghu, the opportunity to change our destiny. From the first moment we met, you have shown me respect, and you will continue to do so."
"It is said that a soldier dies for his bosom friend. Although I am not considered a soldier, I am willing to die in service to your superior. I am willing to join the trap and obtain an honorable title with the sword in my hand!"
After Yinhuan finished speaking, he knelt on one knee on the wet grass, lowered his head and clasped his fists in salute.
Cheng Qiao patiently and quietly listened to Yinhuan's self-analysis, and with a wave of his hand, a strong force lifted Yinhuan up.
"You can understand, I am very pleased and welcome you."
"The reason why I invited you out today is because there is something that requires your help."
Yinhuan's heart suddenly moved, she thought of something, and said with a troubled expression: "But it has something to do with Prime Minister Lu?"
"Your Majesty, although Prime Minister Lu did not give his subordinates real respect, he did not treat them lightly either. If he killed his old master, who would he become?"
"If your subordinate is such a person, your Majesty must be worried about it. I want to get together with Mr. Lu."
"My subordinates made their own decisions, please punish me!"
After saying this, Yinhuan knelt on one knee again, with his head lowered, as if he was ready to be beaten and scolded.
Cheng Qiao glanced at Yinhuan in surprise, and with a thought in his heart, he asked tentatively: "As Lu Buwei's close bodyguard, you must know a lot of Lu Buwei's secrets. How can we get together and get together easily?"
"I'm afraid it's more likely that Lu Buwei will send someone to hunt you down..."
"Even if I am hunted down, I can't kill my old master." Yinhuan answered very decisively, paused, raised his head and said with a smile on his face: "Besides, are you still here?"
"Isn't this a trivial matter a piece of cake for your Majesty?"
"Hahaha……"
Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. The hearty laughter echoed in the dark and humid pine forest. He didn't expect that Yinhuan would flatter him. Before, Yinhuan gave him the impression of a cold and cruel poisonous snake.
Such a person could actually flatter him and be so affectionate and loyal to his old master. Although he was dissatisfied and complained, it was really a contrast.
"Get up, you have given me such a high hat, can I still force you?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise."
Cheng Qiao stopped smiling and said with a solemn expression: "Don't thank me so early, the matter is not over yet."
"I don't intend to take Lu Buwei's life, I just want to teach Lu Buwei some lessons. He stretched his hand too far and had thoughts that he shouldn't have."
"I want to find out the defense situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, especially the secret sentry situation."
Although Cheng Qiao has the ability to become invisible, this method is not perfect yet. It is okay to hide from people who have not opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, but it will be difficult to hide from those who have opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Lu Buwei's mansion is definitely very well guarded, and Yinhuan is not the only top master. There is absolutely no way to hide it in the sensory network jointly arranged by such masters.
The secret method of invisibility requires the use of the power of heaven and earth at all times, just like the fish in the fish tank stirring up ripples in front of ordinary people, it is really conspicuous.
If you want to hide from the second-rate masters and first-rate masters who have opened up the eight extraordinary meridians, you must reach the master level.
Regarding the power of heaven and earth, if second-rate masters use it initially, then first-rate masters use it skillfully, grand masters have preliminary control, and the unity of man and nature has complete control.
A master who initially controls the power of heaven and earth can easily erase the fluctuations caused by using the power of heaven and earth to change the light.
Yinhuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Although betraying the defense situation was not very authentic, it was not life-threatening. He could not refuse anymore. Junshan had already explained patiently. If he refused again, it would be disrespectful.
Find a step to get down to, and agree to come up.
"Your Majesty's request is not excessive, but I cannot let you easily know the defense situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
At this point, Yinhuan saw Cheng Qiao's brows furrowed and quickly sped up her speech to finish what she had not finished.
"As long as you defeat your subordinates, they will cooperate with all actions against the old master."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Qiao's eyebrows relaxed.
He was angry just now. This won't work, and that won't work either. So why do I want to recruit you?
If he is too ignorant of praise, he will be murderous. After knowing so much, he still wants to go back alive?
"Okay, I'll do as you say, let's do it." Cheng Qiao said with a dull smile,
"My subordinate is offended."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yinhuan touched his right hand to his waist, and a silver-white soft sword was instantly drawn out from his waist. With a flick of his hand, the silver-white soft sword shot out of the air. The sound of breaking through the air was like the hissing of a snake, and the sword tip
It is so unpredictable that it is difficult to figure out the real attack and defense.
"The Evil God"
Cheng Qiao had no idea of judging the attack. As soon as his mind moved, his whole body was covered with burning golden flames. Ding, the fang-like sword tip hit the side of his neck, sparks shot out, and there was a crisp and sharp sound of gold and iron.
rise……
Since Yinhuan did not use all his strength, this attack did not shake even the slightest bit of the Golden Light Curse. Cheng Qiao, now a top-notch master of the Golden Light Curse, had to go all out if he wanted to break it.
If the Golden Light Spell is equipped with thunder armor, it will be very difficult for a top-notch expert to break it, and the probability will not exceed 30%.
Even if he managed to break through it, he would not be able to do much damage with his already small body that could defend against ordinary swords. The years of thunder training were not in vain. Cheng Qiao's body was slowly transforming every day.
Specialized and refined, broad and knowledgeable, Cheng Qiao doesn't make a choice, but wants both, just to have enough energy.
While defending, a counterattack arrived. Golden light flashed, and a golden spear shot out from the left chest. Yinhuan was shocked, and moved his wrist. The silver-white soft sword twisted its hand and bit back like a snake.
The tip of the sword happened to hit the golden spear tip, ding, a sound of gold and iron sounded much louder than before, the needle tip hit the wheat light, the substantial shock wave spread, and the golden light curse had no effect on the body.
However, Yinhuan felt that the blood in his chest was boiling. He quickly retreated, but it was not a straight line. It was like a snake swimming in a curve. A golden soft whip as thick as a thumb struck the ground, splashing mud and water, flying grass, and several deep slashes.
The scars of the whip are imprinted on the earth.
Cheng Qiao was not surprised to see Yinhuan dodge the subsequent attacks. After all, he was a first-rate master. It would be unworthy of his reputation to be defeated like that.
Clang!
The Quexie sword in the scabbard was instantly unsheathed, and the golden whip in mid-air wrapped around the white-gold hilt accurately. With a sudden swing, the golden whip shadow and the pale golden sword light flashed away in the void.
Yinhuan's body seemed to have no bones, and he suddenly made an astonishing dodge gesture while moving at high speed. The golden sword light cut off a section of the bamboo hat and passed through several green pine trees as thick as a bowl, and the roaring collapse was followed by continuous sounds.
.
Cheng Qiao put his hands behind his back, and with a thought, the golden whip contracted and swung towards Yinhuan again.
At this time, Yinhuan had stabilized his figure. His body was tilted back at an angle of about forty-five degrees to the ground, like a tilted top. The soft sword in his hand was suddenly straight, and the silver-white sword energy was accumulated at the tip of the sword.
A golden whip that pierced the hilt of the sword.
Cheng Qiao smiled slightly when he saw this, stretched out his right hand and held it empty. At the same time, with a thought, the golden whip wrapped around the hilt of the sword was immediately released, and the silver-white sword tip suddenly pierced the air.
The golden whip head was like a snake swimming in mid-air, and wrapped around the soft sword before Yin Huan had time to withdraw his move. Yin Huan's face changed when he saw this, and the straight sword body instantly became limp.
Sizzle...
The power of blue and white thunder was transmitted along the golden whip and reached the silver-white soft sword in an instant. Yinhuan was shocked and wanted to let go, but it was too late.
As soon as he loosened his right hand a little, the power of the sky thunder brewed by Five Thunder Zhengfa rushed into the body along the arm. The domineering and violent power of the sky thunder exploded, and the silver ring groaned. He tried his best to hold back the scream in his throat.
, the body fell softly to the ground.
Clang!
Cheng Qiao held the Quexie sword that he had sucked back with his right hand, and casually took a beautiful golden sword flower and put it back into the scabbard on his waist, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you convinced of the defeat?"
Cheng Qiao made a measured move. He only numbed Yinhuan with electricity and suffered a momentary pain. He did not cause much damage to Yinhuan.
Yinhuan lay softly on the wet grass, raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is so... amazing, I am convinced."
In fact, Yinhuan wanted to say that Qiao was too sinister, but when he thought about it, he himself had followed a sinister and weird path and had accidentally fallen into the trap. There was really nothing to say.
"That's good."
"Go back and send the defense situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly. I will take action while you are on duty."
