The snow girl shook her head slightly when she heard this, "It's not as easy as you think."
Gao Jianli frowned and sighed softly, "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let you, Xiaozhi, come to Mohe."
"You should escape directly from the city and report to the giants."
Thief Zhi chuckled, pretending to be dissatisfied and said to the two of them, "Why, you can't trust my speed?"
"The environment is not conducive to you." Xue Nu explained, "If it is a scene with open terrain, Wei Zhuang may not be able to stop you."
"But now, there is only one passage outside the Mo Core, and it is guarded by him. No matter how fast you are, you cannot avoid his sword at this distance."
"Hiss..." Seeing Xue Nu's determination, Thief Zhi didn't dare to be blindly confident anymore. He took a breath and scratched his head helplessly.
This is a world decided by swords... so the strength of those swordsmen is more unreasonable than the last.
Thief Zhi believes in his speed, but he can't gamble on this kind of thing.
"Then what should we do? We can't be blocked in the Mo Core, right?"
Master Ban couldn't help but interject at this time, and shouted in annoyance, "If I had known earlier, the old man should have designed an escape passage for the Mohe secret room!"
Pirate Zhi took pleasure in hearing this and teased him, "So, old man Ban, why are you tinkering with so many useless mechanisms all day long? You won't be able to use any of them at the critical moment."
Master Ban could only smile bitterly while stroking his beard.
In fact, the Mo family has always had the idea of setting up an escape route in the Mo nuclear secret room, but it has never been implemented.
The main reason is that there are too many agencies involved in Mohe, and if it involves the whole body, the amount of work is really not small.
Moreover, everyone in the Mo family had no doubts about the safety performance of the government city before, and never thought that the enemy would completely block the Mo core.
Gao Jianli interrupted this rare relaxing time and gave his own plan, "There is only one way. Xue Nu and I come forward to stop Wei Zhuang, and Xiao Zhi takes the opportunity to escape."
"But..." Robber Zhi is not very supportive of this plan, "Once you leave Mohe, it will be difficult to escape, right?"
In order to prevent the loss of the Mo Core, the gate of the Mo Core cannot be opened for a long time, and can only open a gap that is large enough for one person to pass through.
In this way, it will be easier to go out and the timing will be in their hands. Just make preparations in advance.
But it will be troublesome when we come back, because the initiative is not entirely in their hands.
After Master Ban and the others open the door to Mohe from the inside, Xue Nu and Gao Jianli must immediately find an opportunity to escape and return, while also ensuring that Wei Zhuang has no time to pursue them.
As you can imagine, it’s rare.
"..." Gao Jianli responded after a moment of silence, "You can give it a try."
Sledgehammer interjected from the side, "I think it should be okay."
"Xiao Gao and Xue Nu are no match for Wei Zhuang on their own, so together they should be able to compete with him, right?"
"Let's control the timing better. I think it's okay - Mr. Ban, you should be able to control the timing of opening and closing the door, right?"
Master Ban immediately responded angrily, "Old man, of course I don't have any problems here!"
"But..." He then relaxed and looked at Xue Nu and Gao Jianli with concern, "The key lies in the fight between you two, Xiao Gao Xue Nu and Wei Zhuang..."
Since Gao Jianli had expressed his intention, Master Ban mainly focused on Xue Nu:
"Snow Girl, what do you think?"
Snow Girl's eyes were lowered, her free left hand unconsciously caressed the warm and smooth jade flute around her waist, and she replied in a quiet voice:
"The result...it's hard to say."
Her thoughts couldn't help but drift back to some time ago, when she had chatted with Gu Xun about the strength of the Guigu sect brothers.
.........Remembering......
"...I have a question?" Looking at the yellow sand swirling all over the sky in the distance, Xue Nu, who was chatting with Gu Xun, remembered a small doubt she had had for many years.
"What's the question?" Gu Xun held a large piece of barbecue in his hand and ate it happily while responding to the snow girl.
This is a piece of camel meat.
The special delicacies of the desert area naturally include camels, but Tianming and others felt that the camels carried them through the desert so hard that they should not be regarded as food, so they did not eat them.
Gu Xun didn't care, because he came by boat, not by camel.
The snow girl looked at this face that had lost its usual demeanor and was full of oil. She couldn't help but smile, then she came back to her senses and expressed her question:
"Why is Gai Nie a sword master?"
"Ah?" Gu Xun was stunned for a moment and stopped chewing meat. "This question... I don't know how to answer you at the moment."
"Well..." After Gu Xun thought carefully, he finally sorted out the so-called reasons, "If I have to say why, there are actually two types of reasons."
"One is superficial, and the other is substantive."
"How do you say it?" After hearing such a complicated statement, the snow girl's interest became even higher.
Seeing this, Gu Xun put down the barbecue for the time being and answered attentively, "The apparent reason can actually be said to be...a coincidence of fate?"
This answer confused the snow girl, "...where to start?"
"You have to know that Gai Nie's title of 'Sword Master' was first given to Gai Nie by Ying Zheng in the name of the empire. It was Ying Zheng who gave it to Gai Nie... It can be said to be a reward." Gu Xun revealed a hint.
Smiling, Wei explained.
"And this reward falls on Ge Nie because I am already a national advisor of the empire and do not need this title anymore."
The title appointed by the emperor is naturally a kind of reward, and the title of 'Sword Master' means that the empire recognizes you as the strongest swordsman in the empire.
Under normal circumstances, Ying Zheng would of course give this title to Gu Xun, because Ying Zheng also knew that Gu Xun was stronger than Gai Nie.
But a reward is a reward after all, a means to win people's hearts.
Gu Xun has already been honored as a national master of the empire. If you give him the title of 'Sword Master' which has no other purpose than to sound good, it will not serve as a reward at all.
Naturally, Ying Zheng would not do such a meaningless act, so the title of 'Sword Master' finally fell to Gai Nie. In a sense, he picked it up by chance.
"So..." Xue Nu frowned lightly, "Are you saying that Gai Nie picked up your remaining... title that you don't need just because of luck?"
"Ha!" Gu Xun pursed his lips and smiled softly, "So this is an appearance."
"In essence, Gai Nie is a swordsman because...he is the undisputed number one swordsman in the world."
"Huh?" Xue Nu looked at Gu Xun blankly.
Gu Xun looked into the distance and continued talking to himself, "In a broad sense, anyone who practices martial arts and fights with a weapon called a sword can be regarded as a swordsman."
"But I think that if you are looking for a person who bears the title of the best swordsman in the world, you should not simply use this condition as the basis for judgment."
"A...more complex and more difficult classification method is needed."
"There is no doubt that among those who qualify as swordsmen in a narrower sense, Gai Nie is the strongest."
"And me, haha..." Gu Xun shook his head with a smile, "Maybe it's not very suitable for the status of a swordsman."
"I never think of myself as a swordsman, at most... I'm just a martial artist."
