It was noon, and on the vast sea, a solitary boat was just a drop in the ocean.

The outline of the Flower Boat has disappeared. Looking around, there is the boundless sea. The sky is like a pot lid covering the sea, and no edge can be seen.

But Qin Xiao knew that he could land ashore in less than a hundred miles to the north.

Su Baoping was wrapped in a thick blanket and leaned against the stern of the boat with his eyes closed. He seemed to have fallen asleep. The aura of anger and self-importance a few days ago had now disappeared. At this time, he was just a skinny and shriveled old man.

My son, it seems that he may take his last breath at any time and be unable to open his eyes again.

Qin Xiao rowed the oars with a sad expression.

After suffering this disaster, he turned the corner and jumped into the sixth level. His strength is no longer the same as a few days ago. He has abundant inner energy and can control the oars with ease. The boat is like a shark on the sea, breaking through the sea and heading north.

, the speed is not slow.

But looking at Su Baoping's complexion getting worse and worse, and even his breathing getting weaker and weaker, this appearance was already an extremely ominous sign.

Hearing a heavy breath coming from Su Baoping's throat, Qin Xiao opened his eyes slightly. Qin Xiao quickly let go of the oars, took a water bag and approached him. He held Su Baoping's neck from behind with one arm and said softly: "Master

, drink some water first."

Su Baoping looked at Qin Xiao, shook his head and smiled: "I want to drink!"

"Drink?" Qin Xiao was startled, thinking how can you drink like this? And don't monks give up drinking?

Su Baoping seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, meat and wine pass through the intestines, and the Buddha is in my heart. After I shaved my hair, I haven't drank alcohol for many years and have forgotten the taste. I have to remember what it tastes like."

"

Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out and took the wine bag.

BOC's expedition was well prepared. Not only did they have enough food and water, they also prepared blankets and wine to keep out the cold.

After taking a sip of wine, Su Baoping made a pleasant sound and said with emotion: "This taste is always unforgettable. Good boy, after I die, please remember to leave a jar of wine on my grave every year during the Qingming Festival.

There is knowledge under the spring, and it will protect you."

"Master, don't talk nonsense." Qin Xiao looked at his weak appearance and felt very bad. He scolded: "You won't die. You promised me before you taught the exercises that it wouldn't hurt your life. You are a monk.

, can’t lie.”

Su Baoping smiled softly, and then sighed: "Seeing you like this, even if I die, I will have no regrets. With my lifelong cultivation, I am very happy to let you enter the sixth level at such an age. Okay.

Child, give me another sip of wine."

Qin Xiao could only wait for him and took another sip of wine. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

He has clear grudges. Old Man Zhong raised him, so he will be grateful all his life. Meng Zimo saved his life, and he also remembered it. Before that, only the kindness of these two people had left a deep impression on his heart.

imprint.

These two people wanted nothing from him, they just treated him sincerely and well. Although they were treated kindly by many people later on, most of them had conflicts of interest, so the kindness did not seem so pure.

But this time, the old monk in black actually used up the inner energy that he had cultivated in Bisheng to help him break through to the sixth level. This kind of kindness naturally shocked Qin Xiao.

Such a kindness is almost impossible to repay.

How could one person achieve another person's achievements at the expense of his life? This would be unforgettable for Qin Xiao.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Qin Xiao carefully served Su Baoping and leaned against the side of the ship, helping him cover him with a blanket. Then he heard Su Baoping whisper in his ear: "It's because I'm afraid that Bank of China will go to the wild to seek revenge on you. You can't

Leave the Flower Boat?"

Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "This is not the most important reason."

"oh?"

"Killing Eulji Yuanban in front of Zhonghang Dengye might really anger him, but as I said before, since he values ​​his promise, even if I kill Zhongxing Dengye, he may not attack me." Qin Xiaodao.

: "If we talk about enmity, I will kill Yuan Gai Wushuang. Yuan Gai Wushuang and he do not have the title of master and disciple, but they are master and disciple. If he really wants revenge, he can kill me for Yuan Gai Wushuang."

"Then why not kill Eulji Yuanpan?" Su Baoping had a slight smile on his lips. Although his breath was quite weak, his words were still very clear: "He has already formed a grudge with you, and he also has a sixth-grade cultivation level.

, it is a disaster after all, if we kill him, won’t we eliminate future troubles?”

Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "This is not the time." After a pause, he explained: "Although Eulji Yuanpan is cunning, ruthless, and even a little sinister, his temperament is very resolute and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Such a character can actually

Take advantage of it.”

"Are you talking about the construction of Bohai Yuan?"

"Yes." Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Yanyan is the princess of Bohai. The fact that she came to the Tang Dynasty with Eulji Yuanban to plan the kidnapping this time can prove at least two points. First of all, headed by the King of Bohai, Bohai has

There is a force that is trying to kill the Yeongae family, and this force has already begun to take action. Secondly, Eulji Wonban plays a very important role in this force, allowing the princess to follow him and act together. This person is not only deeply involved in Bohae

He has the trust of the Maharaja, and must be someone with outstanding talents in this force." After a pause, he continued: "If Yuan Gaijian really usurped the position of Bohai Maharaja, with his ambition, Datang

There will be huge threats."

Su Baoping said softly: "Yuan Gaijian has been fighting for many years. He has tens of thousands of soldiers and is known as one hundred thousand. Compared with the Liaodong Army guarding the northeast, Bohai County is brave and good at fighting and has powerful cavalry. Once it marches to the northeast, it will not be able to defeat the Liaodong Army alone.

Unable to resist."

"So we can't let Yuan Gaijian have no worries." Qin Xiao said: "The existence of the power of Eulji Yuanpan can restrain Yuan Gaijian. Even if Yuan Gaijian finally extinguishes this power, it will not be possible in a short period of time."

, this power can still cause a lot of trouble to Yuan Gai Jian, or at least it can delay Yuan Gai Jian's ambitions."

Su Baoping said: "Do you want Eulji Yuanban to survive and become a force that limits Yuan Gaijian?"

"Ulchi Yuanpan has a strong heart and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Such a person is a sharp weapon against Yuan Gaijian." Qin Xiao smiled softly and said: "I want to kill him with one finger, but because of this I endanger Yuan.

Gaijian has eliminated a formidable enemy. If I let him live, Yuan Gaijian will have an enemy that is difficult to deal with. After much thought, letting Eulji Yuanwan live will do more good than harm to the Tang Dynasty."

Su Baoping smiled and said: "You can control impulses and not act emotionally. You can think of so many things at that time. It seems that you have a bright future in the future." Then he smiled and said: "Why not let him get married to Princess Bohai?

?Although the two of them don't seem to have feelings for each other at the moment, they may not have feelings for each other in the future."

"I don't want the princess to become his weakness."

"weakness?"

"Eulji Yuanpan is cruel and ruthless. As long as he lives, he will become a serious problem for Yuan Gaijian." Qin Xiao's eyes were sharp and he whispered: "He wants to eradicate the Yuan Gai family and support the Bohai King to control power. In this way, he can also revive Eulji Yuanpan."

But what kind of person is Yeon Gae Geon? Eulji Wonban really wants to make a difference, and the road is difficult. He is the only member of the Eulji family and has no worries. He can do anything to deal with Yeon Gae Geon, but if

If he really develops feelings for the princess, it will not only weaken his fighting spirit, but also if Yeon Gae Gun finds out the truth in the future, he will probably use the princess as a tool to deal with Eulji Wonban, so I don’t want Eulji Wonwan to

There is such a weakness."

Su Baoping was quite surprised and said: "You think so deeply?"

"It's not that I thought too deeply." Qin Xiao sighed: "It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. If it were me and my opponent used the person I love to deal with me, I really don't know what I would do."

"I thought you fell in love with that princess." Su Baoping teased. Although he looked haggard, he always maintained a peaceful smile on his face.

Qin Xiao was startled, then smiled and said: "Master, she may be considered a beauty in the eyes of others, but unfortunately I have seen too many beauties, and I really have no interest in her." After a moment of hesitation, he finally asked softly: "Master,

You said on the ship that you were looking for me this time because you wanted to take my life, so... is that true or false?"

"Although I have passed on my skills to you, you only think that I am seeking victory." Su Baoping's expression became serious and he said slowly: "Never let people know that you and I are close. If there is someone in the future,

Mention, you only said that I have a stubborn temper and will do whatever it takes to defeat BOC Dengye." He raised a hand, Qin Xiao hurriedly took it, and Su Baoping sighed softly: "For you, I am unlucky.

If someone knows that I am too close to you, it will bring disaster to you."

Qin Xiao asked in surprise: "Why?"

"Do you know why I want to snatch you from Eulji Yuanpan?" Su Baoping looked into Qin Xiao's eyes and asked softly: "Did you kill the beloved son of General Anton Wang Xingchao?"

Qin Xiao's body was shaken.

"As expected." Seeing Qin Xiao's reaction, Su Baoping sighed: "Wang Dongjun was killed. Wang Xingchao hid the news and kept Wang Dongjun's body from being known to others. He placed Wang Dongjun's body in the Zhonglie Pagoda on Wusong Mountain in Liaodong and never buried it.

"

Qin Xiao knew that there was no need to hide this matter from Su Baoping, so he nodded and said: "Wang Dongjun was indeed killed by me, Master, has Wang Xingchao found the evidence?"

"If he had conclusive evidence in hand, he would have led his troops to attack you long ago. How could he still allow you to occupy western Liaoning?" Su Baoping sighed: "What you did in this matter was very dangerous. Fortunately, no evidence was left behind. Otherwise,

The consequences are disastrous. Don't underestimate your enemy, even if he doesn't seem difficult to deal with, but if he really wants to fight you, can you really handle it? Although he has no evidence in hand, he has already determined that you are the one who killed Wang Dongjun.

Murderer, I am just waiting to take your head with my own hands and enshrine your head in front of Wang Dongjun’s soul. If you don’t die, Wang Dongjun will not be buried. You and Wang Xingchao have been fighting to the death, and this grudge will never be resolved.

Already."
