Song Qian was the happiest when she heard she was going out. She had a restless temper and loved to watch the excitement.
However, before leaving, Zhou Dawei once again asked to see Song Xuan, the supervisor.
"Sir, there is something I need to report to you!"
Zhou Dawei held a stack of secret letters in his hand and said: "Recently, many spies below have reported that a dragon crossing the river has recently arrived in our Southern Song Dynasty!"
"oh?"
Song Xuan was a little wary, "Could it be that a great master has come out?"
"That's not true!"
Zhou Dawei said hurriedly: "This person came across the sea from overseas and landed from the East China Sea. His identity and origin are unknown. He is dressed in white and has an indifferent expression. As soon as he stepped into the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, he began to challenge masters from all walks of life."
"Tell me carefully, who have you chosen?"
"The owner of Fulong Villa, a master of cultivation, was killed instantly by him with one sword!"
"Qiu Qianren, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, fought with the opponent for more than ten moves and escaped with injuries."
"Hong Qigong, the leader of the Beggar Clan, fought with his opponent for more than an hour. The outcome of the battle is unknown. It seems that the man in white has the upper hand."
"According to the report of our Xuanyi Guard spies, the man in white is now heading west. There is a high probability that he is going to the Western Regions to fight with the old poison Ouyang Feng. There is also a certain probability that he is heading to Zhongnan Mountain to challenge the Quanzhen Sect."
After listening to Zhou Dawei's story, even Ye Gucheng, who originally looked aloof and arrogant, gradually became serious.
"Another top grandmaster!"
Ye Gucheng's eyes flickered as he looked at Lu Xiaofeng, "Brother Lu, tell me, is it possible that it's Ximen Chuixue?"
Lu Xiaofeng touched her chin and speculated: "He is cold and indifferent in white clothes, and he is also an extremely powerful swordsman. He is indeed somewhat similar to Brother Ximen."
But then he shook his head, "But it's unlikely. Calculating the time, Ximen is busy hugging his wife at home, so it's impossible for him to go out and challenge her.
With that guy's temperament, even if he changes his mind, it will take a few years, not so quickly. "
Song Qian said nonchalantly: "Whoever he is, just go and have a look! Such arrogant people are not allowed in the Southern Song Dynasty!"
Song Xuan raised his hand and tapped Song Erni on the forehead, "Be serious, you are the most arrogant!"
She opened her mouth to either kill this one or copy that one. Since Song Erni's strength improved, her arrogance has also increased day by day.
If you don't knock for a day, you won't know your last name.
Song Qian was a little unconvinced.
I just said a few words of joy.
You don't talk about it, you just start killing. Joining forces with Lao Ye, you can kill everyone. In terms of arrogance, who can compare with you?
Of course, she just thought about this in her mind and did not dare to say it out loud.
Otherwise, you will have to suffer a few more brain breakdowns.
...
A few days later, the border of the Western Region.
Different from the Central Plains of the Southern Song Dynasty, most of the people here have fairer complexions. Although they also speak the Mandarin of the Zhou Dynasty, their intonations are a bit weird, adding a bit of exotic style.
Song Xuan and the others rested in a woods, drank some water and ate some dry food brought by Song Qian.
"After Ouyang Feng is dealt with, the Southern Song Dynasty will be basically stable. Xuanyi Wei will be able to deal with the remaining minions."
Song Xuan looked around, looking at the dense woods around him, and said calmly: "After that, I should stay in seclusion for two or three years, preparing to break through to the Grandmaster realm. What are Brother Ye's plans for the next two years?"
Ye Gucheng shook his head, "If I want to go further, it will be very difficult. It is not easy to enter the realm of the Grand Master."
He pondered for a moment, "Since Brother Song plans to go into seclusion, then I will stay here in the Southern Song Dynasty for a few years. After you come out of seclusion, you should go to the Northern Song Dynasty, right?"
Song Xuan nodded, "The land of the Southern Song Dynasty was affected by Tianyuan, the vitality of the world was thinner than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and there were not many top masters.
But the Northern Song Dynasty is different. The overall martial arts strength there is much stronger than that of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is said that there are more than one great masters in Qianxiu. That is where we really should go! "
Ye Gucheng showed a look of longing, "It's also free to be idle. Ye will be happy to go shopping when the time comes."
Song Xuan smiled slightly.
In a few years, after he has been promoted to the Grand Master level and sorted out the forces in the Northern Song Dynasty, the task entrusted to him by Zhao Dezhu will be completed.
By then, he will return to the imperial capital, get promoted, get rich and marry a wife.
As the future commander of Xuanyi Guards, Song Xuan must form his own team and need a few close followers.
And Ye Gucheng is one of his extremely optimistic candidates.
Although this person is aloof and arrogant, he is reliable and never talks nonsense.
He may not be interested in letting him stay in the yamen and work on duty, but if you give him a task and drag him along to kill people, he is definitely more reliable than anyone else!
After a few chats, Ye Gucheng tied the kettle around his waist and looked sideways at an ancient tree in the distance.
"Along the way, there were many spies watching us secretly and openly, but most of them just dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to come forward."
He pointed at the ancient tree. Its leaves were yellowing and its bark was as dry as wrinkles. It was about the width of five or six people's arms, and it was very tall.
"But this guy is the first one who dares to hide under our noses and eavesdrop on the conversation."
Song Xuan took a sip of water nonchalantly, "It's not a powerful character. If Brother Ye is interested, just handle it yourself!"
Ye Gucheng smiled slightly, "I've traveled thousands of miles, and I'm a little bored. It's interesting to have people rushing to have fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and came to the giant tree, tapping on the bark casually.
"Open the door and check the water meter!"
He learned this from Song Qian.
At the beginning, he specifically asked Song Qian what it meant. Song Qian explained that it was a professional term invented by her brother. It meant that I was going to deal with you, but I would greet you first with courtesy and then with soldiers.
Ye Gucheng found it very interesting and kept it in his heart.
Then I learned how to use it today. I tapped on the bark of the tree and opened the door to check the water meter. It felt very interesting.
Compared with simply looking up at the sky at 45 degrees and pretending to be a senior expert, he seems to be more calm, calm and classy.
The ancient tree was silent and showed no reaction.
Ye Gucheng smiled lightly and said: "Your skills are so strange that you can turn yourself into wood, hide in the tree, and even control your breath.
But unfortunately, although you can control your aura, you can't completely cover up the 'shi' that is lingering around you. It seems that you have entered the master realm not long ago, and your control over the momentum is also very average. "
Ye Gucheng didn't see who the enemy was, but he exposed the opponent's background with one mouthful. Song Qian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and gave him a thumbs up with some admiration.
As expected of the Sword Saint Ye Gucheng, his experience in the world is truly remarkable!
