Xu Zhiqiong, Liang Yuyao, and Yan Anqing returned to the Secret Pavilion and told Emperor Changle about their negotiations with the envoy Hong Zuchang.
Emperor Changle sighed: "Zhiqiong, this is what you are wrong about. Hong Zuchang is a bloody person at first glance, so you should help him and let him crash to death in the main hall."
Xu Zhiqiong and Liang Yuyao both laughed when they heard this, but Yan Anqing did not laugh.
"Your Majesty, the military strength of the Kingdom of Thousand Chariots cannot be underestimated. If you push it too far, it is not the best idea to use weapons."
Emperor Changle shrugged his eyebrows and said, "Shoufu Yan, what do you think of Qiancheng Kingdom's military strength?"
Naturally, Yan Anqing would not express his opinions easily. He simply relayed Qiancheng Kingdom’s conclusion objectively: “According to the records of “Military Affairs Secrets” written by Hong Zuchang, Qiancheng Kingdom’s combat power is second in the world, second only to Fanxiao Kingdom in the Western Regions.
"
Emperor Changle was startled: "I remember that in the past, Qiancheng Kingdom always claimed to be the third in the world in terms of combat power. How come it suddenly became the second?"
Yan Anqing explained: "In the past, the Qiancheng Kingdom believed that the largest combat power in the world was the Fanxiao Kingdom, the second was the Tunu Kingdom, and the third was their Qiancheng Kingdom.
Last year, the country of Tunu was defeated by me, and the country of Qiancheng thought that it was disgraceful to be ranked behind Tunu, so it changed its combat power ranking to second place."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's all decided by him anyway, why not just change it to number one?"
Yan Anqing explained: "Hong Zuchang once said that in terms of real combat power, Qiancheng Kingdom is indeed number one in the world, but being at the top of the list is easy to become the target of public criticism, which is not in line with the golden mean."
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. They always felt that this country's thinking was too strange.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Has there been any war in the Kingdom of Thousand Chariots in recent years?"
Yan Anqing shook his head and said: "There has been no war in recent years. We fought a few battles in the early years, but the outcome is hard to tell."
Emperor Changle said: "Bring me the archives of their past wars, and send some spies to Yelang Kingdom to get more information. Maybe I really underestimated them."
Everyone discussed for a while and then went back to their homes. When they walked outside the palace gate, Liang Yuyao invited Xu Zhiqiong to get on her carriage: "Marquis Yun, please follow me to the Neishi Mansion. I have important matters to discuss with you."
It was freezing cold, and looking at Liang Yuyao's red cheeks, Xu Zhiqiong could basically guess the content of the important matter.
"Your Highness, Xu has other important matters today. I will visit you at your residence another day."
"Is there something else important?" Liang Yuyao snorted coldly, "But what kind of bastard are you looking for!"
"Serious business, really serious business..." Xu Zhiqiong comforted the princess and walked to the bridge alone.
He wanted to sit on the Goulan for a while and carefully understand the essentials of illusion that Ling Han said.
"Traceless, soundless and colorless, changing from ordinary to ordinary."
Illusions are ever-changing, and the other party must not be able to see the process of change...
Xu Zhiqiong fell into deep thought and walked into a deep alley unknowingly.
Liang Xiaoen quietly came to the alley, looked at Xu Zhiqiong's back, and heard the order in his ears: "When the time is right, kill him!"
Just as Liang Xiaoen was about to take action, he suddenly felt a wave of coercion coming towards him.
Stars?
What a cold air, it is the constellation of the underworld!
It seems that I am not the only one who wants to deal with Xu Zhiqiong.
Liang Xiaoen immediately disappeared and quietly watched the changes in the situation.
Xu Zhiqiong raised his head and saw a strong man walking towards him.
The cold pressure made Xu Zhiqiong shiver.
Xu Zhiqiong took a step back, and the snow under his feet immediately turned pitch black, and a cold and sinister air whizzed around him.
Hades!
Xu Zhiqiong is trapped in the underworld!
The man looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Are you Yuduo's disciple?"
Xu Zhiqiong did not answer. He tried to use the Eyes of Sin to observe the other person's cultivation. In the darkness, the outline of the man showed a dazzling light, which made Xu Zhiqiong burst into tears.
"Let me ask you, are you a disciple of Yu Suo?"
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the surrounding terrain. He was very familiar with this deep alley.
He immediately turned invisible and ran with all his strength, trying to escape from the underworld in the shortest possible time.
Moo!
With the sound of a cow braying, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly appeared next to a house.
Ox and Taurus, this is the constellation Ox and Taurus!
This cow's cry caused Xu Zhiqiong's whole body to suffer severe pain like a knife or an axe. The power of imagery in his body was uncontrollable and driven by the cold pressure, constantly eroding the meridians throughout his body.
Niu Jinniu asked calmly: "Where is Zhong Jianxue? Give him to me and I will spare you!"
Xu Zhiqiong ignored it, reorganized the power of his images, and fought against the pressure in his body.
This pressure is indeed very strong, just like the distracting thoughts lingering around Xingyuan Palace all the time.
Xu Zhiqiong has been practicing in Xingyuan Hall for so many years. He knows how to overcome the interference of distracting thoughts and refocus his thoughts.
Concrete, turn the power of imagery into a physical object, concentrate it into your own appearance, and kick out distracting thoughts!
Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth and was forced out of Baihui by the cold pressure from Chongmai.
Freed from the pressure, Xu Zhiqiong became invisible again.
Taurus was startled and secretly said he was surprised.
He was able to withstand this blow, and I'm afraid even Taifu couldn't do it.
"As expected of Yu Suo's disciple." Niu Jinniu smiled and called out again.
Xu Zhiqiong appeared again, trembling all over, and huddled on the ground.
This time it was too lethal.
The power of the image expanded rapidly, as if it was about to explode the meridians throughout the body.
Don't be afraid!
There are also talents!
Xu Zhiqiong uses the skill of grafting and grafting to absorb the power of his own imagery, and then distributes it evenly throughout his body.
Liang Xiaoen, who was hiding in the dark, used his domineering energy to guard his meridians, blocking the pressure of Niu Jinniu.
This old cow is too cruel to use this method to deal with a mortal.
This Xu Zhiqiong is really tough, he carried it twice in a row.
If he dies at the hands of Niu Jinniu, it will be considered as my mission has been completed.
If he is lucky enough to survive, it won't be too late for me to kill him again.
No matter what, don't let Niu Taurus see me.
Liang Xiaoen tried his best to conceal his anger, and Niu Jinniu did not notice him.
His attention was all on Xu Zhiqiong.
"Young man, I admire you very much, your determination, and your talent. As a mortal, you are really amazing if you can survive two roars,"
At this point, Niu Jinniu sighed: "To be honest, I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to break the rules, let alone offend Yuduo Xingxiu, please just hand Zhong Jianxue over to me, and the matter ends here."
Xu Zhiqiong evenly distributes the power of the body's imagery into the meridians.
He also wanted to become invisible. Even if there was a chance, Xu Zhiqiong would try his best to escape.
"What a madman!" Niu Jinniu stretched out his hand and drew the ground as a prison, trapping Xu Zhiqiong on the spot.
"You don't want to tell me, but don't blame me for being ruthless. If I kill you and take you to the underworld, I can still find out the result.
You are the judge, and you know in your heart how much suffering you will suffer in the underworld."
Coercion slowly enveloped Xu Zhiqiong, and under pressure from all sides, Xu Zhiqiong's body began to slowly twist.
He leaned against a willow tree in the alley, gritted his teeth tightly, and tried his best to fight with the power of imagery, but still did not give in.
"Why bother? There is an ant under your feet. No matter how hard you struggle, it will inevitably be shattered into pieces." Niu Jinniu looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a cold expression.
"Ordinary people are ordinary people after all. Killing you is like killing an ant. An ant should know the fate of an ant. If you want to live, lie on the ground and listen to my instructions. If you don't want to live, I will make it happen..."
Before he finished speaking, Niu Jinniu's voice stopped abruptly.
A lump of mud hit him in the mouth.
The injection was very accurate. It didn't touch the lips. It was all injected into the mouth, and some of it even got into the throat.
Taurus vomited out the mud.
He thought it was something poisonous or some kind of magic weapon.
But after he vomited it out and looked at it for a moment, he realized that it was indeed just mud, extremely smelly mud in the gutter.
who?
Who made the sneak attack?
Was it taken away from me?
The Ox and Taurus are spreading their energy around, feeling the positions of the stars.
After feeling it for a moment, he realized that this move was a bit unnecessary.
The one who threw the mud was not Yuduo Xingxiu, but a young man. The man was on the willow tree.
At this moment, he had jumped down from the willow tree and came to Xu Zhiqiong's side.
"What's wrong, brother," Lang Zhongxue walked to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Are you injured?"
He touched Xu Zhiqiong's body, and the pressure all over his body was lifted along with the technique of drawing the ground as a prison. Xu Zhiqiong, who could not even breathe, was instantly relieved.
"What happened?" Lang Zhongxue asked again.
Xu Zhiqiong gasped for a while, pointed at Niu Jinniu opposite and said: "He hit me!"
These three simple words accurately describe the current situation.
Lang Zhongxue raised his eyebrows and picked up a three-foot-long wooden stick from the wall.
"Did you just hit my brother?" Lang Zhongxue walked towards Niu Jinniu with murderous intent.
Ox and Taurus were speechless for a while.
What kind of person is this?
Like a gangster on the street, like a scoundrel in the market.
Liang Xiaoen was also very surprised.
This person seems to have low cultivation level.
Who gave him the courage to act arrogantly in front of the stars?
It seems that because his cultivation level is too low, he really doesn't know the identity of the person facing him.
Niu Jinniu sneered and asked, "Who are you?"
"Eighth grade judge, Lang Zhongxue."
"Eighth grade?" Niu Jinniu really found it confusing.
But looking at his cultivation level, he is indeed only at the eighth level.
Niu Jinniu shook his head and said: "You can go, you are lucky today, I don't want to kill more animals."
Lang Zhongxue spat and said: "You beat my brother, how can you talk about good luck? No matter how lucky you are, you can't escape this disaster!"
Niu Jinniu stopped laughing: "Let me advise you again, before I don't want to kill you, get away from me immediately!"
Lang Zhongxue laughed and said: "It's useless to be tough. Don't cry when you are beaten!"
Niu Jinniu suddenly exerted a pressure on Lang Zhongxue.
He wanted to crush Lang Zhongxue's bones.
Anyway, we are going to break the rules today, so there is no harm in killing one more person.
Unexpectedly, Lang Zhongxue had no reaction and continued walking forward with the wooden stick.
How can it be!
Niu Jinniu was startled, and Liang Xiaoen, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but tremble.
This person is not of the eighth grade!
Niu Jinniu increased the pressure, but Lang Zhongxue still didn't respond.
Seeing Lang Zhongxue slowly approaching, Niu Jinniu used the technique of drawing the ground as a prison to trap Lang Zhongxue.
In the underworld, Niu Jinniu's skills had the upper hand, but Lang Zhongxue still didn't respond.
Niu Jinniu still wanted to use the technique of ten thousand punishments, but Lang Zhongxue had already come closer.
"Who did you call an ant just now?" Lang Zhongxue hit Niu Jinniu on the head with a stick.
The blow with the stick made Niu Taurus spin around and his whole body was numb.
"Who do you want to break to pieces?" Lang Zhongxue returned with another stick, hitting Niu Jinniu in the head again.
Niu Jinniu struggled to dodge, but the stick suddenly turned in mid-air and swept across, hitting Niu Jinniu's cheek.
The left side of Niu Jinniu's face immediately deformed and fell to the ground with a thud.
Change tactics!
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked!
Make half a move and then change the move!
This time he was so familiar.
This is the Eight Halberds of the Lotus Moon!
It turned out to be him!
