And this person with such a scar is of course the leader of the Qing Dao Sect, Tianjun Xi Ying!
Xi Ying's martial arts ranked fourth in the Demon Sect, and he was the top of the eight masters of the Demon Sect.
What kind of person could force him to panic and flee into the city lord's palace in such a panic?
"Who is coming!"
A guard outside the palace asked loudly, his tone full of panic.
There was a loud clang, and the door to the main hall that Xi Ying had originally knocked open shattered together with the wall next to it. Several guards screamed and flew in.
In the smoke and dust, a person walked slowly in with a single sword, like a mountain pressing against the top.
Seeing this person, Xi Ying's muscles tightened even more, and his face was so solemn that it seemed like water was dripping from his face.
Pei Ju and Qu Gangu, the silent lord of Gaochang City, focused their attention on the uninvited guest who came in from behind.
This person has an almost perfect face, and his facial features are as delicate as a carved statue. Only his eyebrows are very low, which makes this person look particularly serious and murderous.
This is a man that even Pei Ju and Shi Zhixuan dare not look down upon. His name is Song Que, Heavenly Sword Song Que!
It is the ceiling of today's martial arts swordsmanship, an existence that no one can surpass!
Song Que is fulfilling his vow back then, hunting down the Heavenly Lord Xi Ying, and fulfilling his wish for Ba Daoyue Mountain.
He chased Xi Ying all the way from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. The fear and torture along the way made Xi Ying's spirit stretched to the extreme.
"Song Que! I, Xi Ying, have never offended you Song Clan, why are you so hard on me and chasing me to the Western Regions!"
Song Que said coldly and proudly: "Is your nickname Tianjun?"
Xi responded: "Xi is fortunate enough to be sought after by his colleagues in the Jianghu community and receive this title."
Song Que sneered: "Then what do people in the world call me?"
"Your name is Heavenly Sword, the best sword in the world!"
Song Que smiled and pointed at Xi Ying and said: "You should never have added the word "天" in this nickname. It violated Song's taboo, so you have to die!"
Hearing this, even Pei Ju couldn't help but laugh out loud. As the saying goes, evil people have their own trials and tribulations. Xi Ying was afraid that he had encountered something that he had never imagined in his life, and he could only be speechless.
"That's why you chased me all the way?"
He felt that he was wronged. This majestic nickname was not given to himself by him.
At this time, the leader of Gaochang Kingdom, who had been watching the show in front of him with a sullen expression, finally spoke. Only then did the troublemakers in the arena realize that this person was the master here.
"You two are shouting and killing in my house. Have you never taken me as your master seriously?"
Song Que turned around and didn't care at all about the prestige of the leader of the country who was just like a loser.
In fact, with his status as Zhennan Gong, he was simply not comparable to the lord of Gaochang City.
So Song Que only glanced at Qu Qiangu and completely ignored him.
He raised his saber and pointed it at Xi Ying.
"You have no way out. As the master of the Qing Dao, you should die a little more honorably."
The sword has been slashed out, and it is as powerful as a horse, irresistible!
In particular, Xi Ying was already at the end of his strength. He thought he was going to die on the spot, and fear boiled in his heart.
"presumptuous!"
The moment the sword light slashed out, the owner of this place, Qu Gangu, was already angered.
He had never heard of Song Que's name, so he waved his hand to stop Song Que's sharp sword light on behalf of Xi Ying.
However, there was only one contact. Although the sword light was blocked, he himself felt a surge of energy and blood. If a second sword struck at this moment, he would probably be able to dodge in embarrassment.
Therefore, the fierce gleam in the eyes of the Lord of Gaochang, who was still very aggressive just now, no longer exists.
He couldn't help but thought to himself: In the entire Gaochang City, my martial arts is the strongest. Looking at the Western Regions, my strength is enough to rank among the top ten. Now I only have one strike from this Central Plains man and my flaws are almost exposed. Do all the masters from the Central Plains have to admit?
Already so strong?
Song Que was a little surprised. The move he just used was one of the eight Heavenly Sword moves. He didn't leave any strength behind. It was one of the essences of his lifelong swordsmanship.
This short and fat city lord who was not taken seriously by him was actually able to take it. His strength was really unexpected.
He was excitedly preparing to strike a second time, not paying attention to the guards who had gathered outside the palace.
At this time, Pei Ju stood up and faced Song Que with the etiquette of a lower-level official meeting a higher-level official in the court.
"I'm going to pay my respects to Duke Zhennan!"
Song Que had long noticed Pei Ju, a native of the Central Plains. Since he was only wearing ordinary clothes, he thought he was a wealthy local Han businessman. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a Sui Dynasty bureaucrat.
"Who are you?"
Pei Ju introduced himself: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, sent me to the Western Regions to re-open the Silk Road for the Sui Dynasty."
Song Que raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew very well that wars had broken out frequently between the Turks and the Sui Dynasty in recent years.
Because Yang Jian replaced the Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty married Princess Dayi, who had made peace with the Turks. She repeatedly persuaded the Turkic Khans to attack the Sui Dynasty and slaughtered and plundered the people on the border many times, making the Sui Dynasty miserable.
Although Song Que was dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty still belonged to the dynasty under the Han culture.
Although he paid attention to bloodline, he also knew the importance of cultural attributes. Therefore, the Turks in the north often held back the border, but Song Que never caused trouble for Yang Jian in the south. This was a matter of national justice, and he could distinguish the important from the important.
So after learning that Pei Ju was the envoy to the Sui Dynasty, he immediately remembered the story of Han Wu, who managed the Western Regions to cut off the Xiongnu!
Now Yang Jian's move will naturally cut off the Turks' arm, and he has no reason not to give face.
He immediately returned the sword to its sheath and said, "That's it... I've run out of fun today, so I'll say goodbye!"
With that said, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Pei Ju took a step forward and said, "Wait a moment, Duke Zhennan. For His Majesty's sake, why don't we all turn our hostility into friendship and stay and have a drink with the Lord? The grape wine here is very pure and rare."
Song Que turned his back and sneered at the crowd, saying: "An old friend once told me that if the barbarians and the Di invaded China, they would conquer the Huaxia, and if the Huaxia invaded the barbarians, they would conquer the barbarians.
In the past, Mr. Song didn’t think so, but now that I think about it, it’s not unreasonable. Mr. Song doesn’t associate with foreigners!”
After saying that, he left proudly. There were many guards outside the palace, but no one dared to stop him.
The leader of Gaochang Kingdom did not understand Song Que's last words. He asked curiously: "Mr. Pei, who is that person? What does the last sentence mean?"
Pei Ju laughed and said: "He is our Duke of Zhennan in the Sui Dynasty, and he has always paid attention to the unification of the Han Dynasty.
As for the last sentence, it means literally, he will not be friends with barbarians."
Qu Gangu still didn't understand. He was dressed in a Western Hu costume and a beard hat, but he puffed up his chest and said: "My Qu family has always been proud of our Han family blood. We are authentic Han people!"
Pei Ju said playfully: "I see, since we are all citizens of the Han family, how can we stoop down to serve our old friends? Is the city lord right?"
"this……"
"Of course, Pei understands the position of the city lord, so if he can convince Datou Khan, then everyone will be the ministers of the Emperor of Sui Dynasty, and naturally there will be no need to make difficult choices."
Qu Gangu clapped his hands and said: "If Mr. Pei needs my cooperation, I will do my best!"
Pei Ju laughed meaningfully, and his eyes turned to Xi Ying, who had been silent and did not dare to leave. There was a strange smile in his eyes.
