Hearing the teasing, Zhan Hongqu's face turned red, and he lowered his head and stood there, but he didn't leave.
Obviously, she, like Lu Bei, adopted the tactic of neither taking the initiative nor refusing.
After thinking about it for so many days, you came up with this method
You little brat, don’t you see what your rank is
Lu Bei smiled secretly, then let's just fight and see who can outlast the other. He didn't believe that when Bai Jin came out of retreat with the Immortal Sword Intent in his hand, he would be able to bear to kill Hong Qu.
This is a sure thing.
Lu Bei's confidence increased greatly. He ignored Zhan Hongqu who was standing there in a daze and flipped through the documents quickly.
According to intelligence, the country of Xuanlong is highly evaluated, especially the average level of its cultivators. Because of its geographical location in the north, it is forced to have abundant martial virtues and has been on good terms with Wu Zhou, Xiong Chu, Qi and Yan for many years.
Since the founding of Xuanlong, it has been plagued by invasions by demons, and the thousand-year offensive and defensive battles have never stopped.
It sounds incredible. No matter how big the family is, even if they have mines, they cannot afford such consumption!
But Xuanlong has remained strong until now. On the one hand, because of the alliance, the three kingdoms of Wuzhou and Zhou sent supplies to it every year; on the other hand, because Yiliang was destroyed, the compradors of twenty-three countries provided it with blood transfusions.
Then there is the human race’s holy land of Daxia, where Xuanlong played an indispensable role in resisting the demon race. With the mediation of the holy land, a huge amount of international aid is sent to Xuanlong every year.
In this way, the basic national condition of Xuanlong becoming stronger with each war was formed.
Especially after the completion of the Chiyun Palace, the demons and monsters that had a hard time surviving elsewhere found themselves in their element at the northern defense line, and all the magic and sorcery that they could not use on humans were used on the monsters.
In terms of intelligence, there is not much record about the sword villain Dugu.
It's not surprising. This guy has been on the front line for many years. His material desires are basically zero, and his spiritual desire is to kill. Not only has he lost his high taste, but he has also lost his low taste. After becoming famous, he has basically never left the front line. He just kills every day, and there is no information worth recording.
Before he became famous, Dugu was born in Xuanlong Baijianmen, which was known for its thousands of sword techniques and hundreds of sword intents. It was the Tianjian Sect of Xuanlong. However, because its founder was not as talented as Qilijing and had no unique skills comparable to the Immortal Sword Intent, Baijianmen was not well-known outside and was far inferior to Tianjian Sect.
Speaking of which, Lu Bei still hasn't figured out the true value of the leader of the Tianjian Sect. If he had any common sense, he would not have used the murder case as a threat to scare those female monks from royal families.
Well, actually, male monks don’t have to be afraid if they just grit their teeth.
Back to the topic, Lu Bei put down the intelligence and locked on the keyword "Bai Jian Men". Thinking that the civil strife in Wu Zhou was over, he went to Xuan Long.
I had no other intention. I just wanted to ask for the sword's advice with a sincere heart. When I heard that there was a powerful sword-cultivating sect in his country, I couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to go and ask for advice.
It's impossible for Dugu. He has been contaminated by the blood of the demon clan. Not only his physical body, but even his soul has mutated beyond human form. It is extremely difficult to unleash any skills from him.
"Don't just stand there. Seeing you look so bullied, someone who doesn't know would think that I, the Sect Master, bullied you."
"… "
Zhan Hongqu didn't say anything, just turned her head and looked to the side. She was being bullied.
"Come here, this Sect Master is tired, please relax for a while."
Lu Bei patted the couch and moved his butt to the side, leaving plenty of space for Zhan Hongqu.
The couch is large enough for two people to lie side by side.
Zhan Hongqu's ears turned red, perhaps he had thought of something. He moved to Lu Bei's side at a snail's pace, took off his cloth shoes, and sat cross-legged beside Lu Bei.
"Who told you to cross your legs? Kneel down."
Under Lu Bei's command, Zhan Hongqu let herself be manipulated like a bullied young wife. After a while, the knee pillow was laid out, and Lu Bei raised his head and leaned on it, closing his eyes and began to take a nap.
Zhan Hongqu sat upright, her heart pounding. She was too shy and flustered to describe it all. Thinking of Bai Jin who was in seclusion, she felt guilty but also a little excited.
Half an hour later, she saw Lu Bei didn't move, her nervous heartstrings slowly relaxed, and she secretly lowered her head to look at the pretty boy.
Because she is neither She Xuan nor Zhu Qilan. When she lowers her head, half of her disgusting pretty face can be seen, which makes people feel itchy even when she is asleep.
Zhan Hongqu held his breath and looked around with a guilty conscience. He made sure that there was no Mu Lichen or Zhan Lexian standing in the corner ready to draw his sword at any time. He raised his hand and touched Lu Bei's face.
Bang!
Lu Bei raised his hand and slapped his butt, snorting, "Don't touch me, it will be bad if others see it."
"oh."
…
The next day, Lu Bei challenged the sword villain Dugu to a duel in the secret realm. The scene was so crowded that it attracted a large number of disciples to watch. Except for Wang Yan who was in seclusion and practicing hard, all the four elders rushed to the scene.
By the way, some players also started live broadcasts.
The result was not very good. Players saw the screen full of jelly flying around, and swordsmen saw two barbarians swinging their swords at each other, with profound sword intent...
What is that? Isn’t this a battle about who is stronger
Halfway through the battle, Mu Lichen, who had the best talent and the highest comprehension, claimed to be ill and left the battlefield first to go back to seclusion.
It’s not that he realized something, but that Kenshin was polluted. He hurried back to wash his eyes and forget this terrible scene as soon as possible.
The remaining elders reacted and left one by one. Finally, Qin Fangtian couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand to disperse everyone. He sent everyone out of the secret realm on the grounds that the subsequent battles required too much technical skills and it was inconvenient to demonstrate them.
Three days later, Zhu Jingli arrived at Zangqian Mountain.
The old emperor took Prince Yuanxuan and Lord Xinli away. Faced with Lu Bei's proposal to sell the Zhao brothers and sisters at a low price, he once again refused and reiterated that Wu Zhou and Xuan Long had been friends for generations and were firm allies.
At the same time, he said that Wu Zhou could not reach a deal with Xuan Long, and Lu Bei could contact Xuan Long privately in the capacity of the leader of Tianjian Sect.
When cultivating immortality, it is not a shame to get some ransom.
So, under the introduction of Zhu Jingli, a young man from the Zhao family of Xuanlong came to Zangqian Mountain.
The man was dressed in black and had white hair. His facial features were elegant and handsome. Under his sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender peach blossom eyes. His smile was full of passion and his eyes were unruly. It was obvious that he was not a serious person.
Xuanlong, Zhao Wuxie.
Because Lu Bei was not a serious person either, the two hit it off right away, and Lu Bei had the illusion that he saw Fox Three in the fusion stage.
Can he be together with the eldest brother who is so lazy that he fishes for three days and rests for two days
It's so funny, it's almost like they merged together.
Lu Bei dispersed his distracting thoughts and smilingly invited Zhao Wuxie to visit the beautiful scenery of Zangqian Mountain. There were two steep mountains with a narrow strip of sky, and ravines stretching across thousands of passes, which immediately attracted Zhao Wuxie's applause.
"Master Lu, the situation in the twenty-three countries is strange. There must have been a lot of misunderstandings here, otherwise my useless brother and sister would not have had a dispute with you."
Zhao Wuxie frowned, his peach blossom eyes full of doubt: "Is there a possibility that Qi Yan set up a trap to sow discord between our two families?"
"Don't tell me, it's very likely."
Lu Bei nodded seriously, and the two of them decided to put the blame on Qi Yan.
If someone takes the initiative to take the blame, the rest will be easy to discuss.
Zhao Wuxie smiled and spread out his folding fan, covering half of his face: "To be honest with you, Sect Master Lu, as a token of my sincere apology, I have come to ask for an audience and have prepared a small gift."
“How thin?”
"Too thin to be honest."
"That's going to be difficult."
Lu Bei said in embarrassment: "Brother Zhao, you don't know how arrogant the brother and sister Zhao Wugou and Zhao Wuxia were when they were in the northern border. This sect leader, based on the principle of treating people with kindness, bowed and went to ask for gifts. Not only did they turn their noses at me, they also thought that I was kind and easy to ride, and let the sword fierce Dugu bite me."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Wuxie was shocked.
“No lies.”
Lu Bei nodded firmly, and then said: "If it weren't for the fact that my swordsmanship was not good enough, I would have barely entered the room, chopped Dugu down with one move, and knocked down the brother and sister with one punch. I'm afraid they would have met with an accident that day."
"Ah, this..."
Zhao Wuxie was ashamed, and covered his face with his folding fan, looking as if he couldn't face anyone. "These two people are bullying others by taking advantage of their power. They really disgraced our family tradition. I'll make the decision. Sect Master Lu, just do it. It doesn't matter if you kill them."
“No need for that. I am a magnanimous person. How could I argue with them? I had my disciples hung up and beaten for three days. Their resentment has almost dissipated.” Lu Bei waved his hands, indicating that he was magnanimous and he had let it go long ago.
“Well done!”
Zhao Wuxia was deeply impressed and kept saying a few words of inferiority. In his words, the biological father of the brother and sister died early, and Lu Bei's beating just made up for their incomplete childhood.
"I am no longer angry, but I am the leader of a sect after all. I am the face of the Tianjian Sect when I am out there."
Lu Bei continued, "I don't mind. I'll just bear with the injustice, but not the Heavenly Sword Sect. If the news gets out, how will the disciples bully others in the future? Brother Zhao, don't you think so?"
"That makes sense. Sect Master Lu, just speak frankly. How do you plan to deal with these two?"
"The Tianjian Sect has lost face, and we need to get it back. Brother Zhao's small gift can only redeem one person. Which of these brothers and sisters are you going to take away today?"
"What, take them away?!"
Zhao Wuxie was surprised and put away his folding fan. "Master Lu, you misunderstood. This small gift is for redeeming the sword villain Dugu. As I said before, whether my royal brother and sister live or die is entirely up to Master Lu."
"???"
A string of question marks crossed Lu Bei's mind, and so did Zhao Wuxie's. They looked at each other, and Lu Bei was at a loss as to what to do.
"Brother Zhao, you have to think it through. Your sister is so beautiful that I fell in love with her at first sight. If we delay for a few more days..."
"Brother Lu is polite."
"… "
"Brother Lu, are you talking?"
"This sect leader is just playing around and is not prepared to take responsibility."
“Great!”
Zhao Wuxie clapped his hands with his folding fan, his face showing a sinister look, and whispered: "Wuqiu is arrogant, so he can be used as an ox or a horse. Wuxia is lonely, so she can be kept as a concubine. I will add some money, and I will ask Sect Master Lu to kill them both. They must not be allowed to leave Wu Zhou alive."
"… "
Good man, you are here to fight for the throne!
Lu Bei was deeply convinced and admitted that he had lost money in this deal. He accepted the Qiankun Ring handed over by Zhao Wuxie and released the white-haired siblings and the swordsman Dugu on the spot.
Zhao Wuxie didn't even look at the brother and sister. He untied his belt and tied Dugu up. No one knew what the belt was. Dugu was tied up with a tortoise shell. After several struggles in vain, he turned into the old man with weird eyes at the beginning.
The deal was done. Zhao Wuxie readily agreed to all of Lu Bei's additional conditions. Before leaving, he gave him a token, saying that with this token, one could travel freely throughout the land of Xuanlong.
The two sides exchanged greetings again until sunset, when the three Zhao siblings left Zangqian Mountain and headed towards the capital at the invitation of the Wu Zhou royal family.
On the way.
Zhao Wuxia secretly looked at his eldest brother several times, and after mustering up the courage to say, "Brother, Lu Bei from the Tianjian Sect said... you are actually the eldest sister."
"no."
"Um."
"…" x3
"Really not."
"Um."
"…" x3
