Zhu Yuxue said with a smile: "Forget it if you are twenty years old. You do look like you are thirty, but don't think of the people in Xitan as idiots. There must be some big shots following you. What is your real age? They will can not tell?"
Lin Chengzhi said angrily: "This is the first time in history that two dynasties will meet. I was born too early. The opportunity fell on Xie Wuxing's head, but he couldn't catch it. Moreover, he was only at the top of the cave and couldn't compare with Pei Jieran. It would be embarrassing to go there. There are Is there any way to hide it so that no one can see your true age?”
Chu Chunqiu said with a black face: "If there is a way, I can get you in my turn? No matter how much I hide it, I can't hide from the stronger ones. Who can do it so that no one in the world can see it?"
You Xuanzhi stepped forward and bowed and said: "Seniors, what matters now is that we are missing one person."
The scene suddenly became silent.
To say that some of the nine people are just a make-up, except for Xuan Su who makes people talk a little, the rest actually don't have much problem. Pei Jianran is the strongest Dongming in the Sui Kingdom. Most people agree on this. Xie Wuxing It is the true biography of Jiange, and it is indeed among the best in the same realm. The only people who have objections are the young monk Yu Xue who was not selected in the various realms.
The previous step was to select someone nearby, and no one expected that Xie Wuxing would have problems.
Now we have arrived in Kutan, and the meeting between the two dynasties is about to begin. Besides, the matter of substitutions will be very troublesome after all.
Even if the Imperial Master has his words, he must use the power of the Divine City to send them directly to Ku Tan Sword Pavilion. Because the distance is too far, even the Imperial Master cannot easily do it. The only thing he can do at present is Kutan chooses one more person.
But you can't choose someone weaker than Xie Wuxing.
"In the sword pavilion
Is there any other choice? "
Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said: "There are three hundred disciples of Jiange, but the only one who understands the sword intention of my brother Xihe is Xie Wuxing. So if we really want to fight with all our strength, Xie Wuxing is already the strongest among the younger generation of Jiange."
Of course there are many people in Jiange who are better than Xie Wuxing, but the problem lies with the younger generation.
The older generation in Kutan are very rare in bathing in the snow, let alone the younger generation. There are really not many capable people in Kutan.
Chu Chunqiu said in a deep voice: "If I had known this, I would have prepared a few candidates. Now it is too late to go back to the capital of gods or go to other places to choose people."
Lin Chengzhi suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "I think of someone."
Chu Chunqiu asked suspiciously: "Who is it?"
Lin Chengzhi said: "My brother has mentioned more than once that there is a girl named Zhao in Kutan. I don't know her specific cultivation level, but she is definitely better than Xie Wuxing."
Chu Chunqiu asked: "Where is this woman?"
Lin Chengzhi spread his hands and said, "I don't know."
Chu Chunqiu's forehead had bulging veins.
Zhu Yuxue said: "It is better to have someone selected than no one. We might as well go to Kutan Qingxuan Department. As long as the girl named Zhao is in Kutan, Qingxuan Department should have a record, but there is no guarantee whether she is there at the moment." The address is there, so just ask the Qingxuan Department to inform her to go directly to Panmen. Let’s pay attention along the way and try to find someone else to avoid problems again.”
Chu Chunqiu nodded and said: "This is the only way."
Zhu Yuxue looked at Han Yan and others and said, "You go directly to Panmen, we will arrive soon."
Han Yan left alone, and the cold girl from the eldest princess's house followed him.
You Xuanzhi and Xuansu moved towards the
Zhu Yuxue and the others bowed before chasing Han Yan and the others.
Pei Jieran was waiting for the Hammer Girl to jump down from the ridge of the palace. Relatively speaking, except for Chu Chunqiu, it would be better to go with the Hammer Girl.
Lin Chengzhi, who also said goodbye to Chu Chunqiu and Zhu Yuxue, said that if he had to guard Jiange and wait for Xie Wuxing to leave the customs, he wanted to go to Panmen together, but in the end he could only watch everyone leave.
...
In a remote mountain field in a certain county in Kutan.
Zhao Xiyan wiped the blood-stained sword. The thatched house behind him was in dilapidated condition, and a person was lying in front of the house.
Bai Xueyi seemed to be a little disgusted, and with a wave of his hand, he crushed the man into powder, and also overturned the thatched house, "This man was shouting non-stop before, and then he couldn't beg for mercy. He also dared to claim that he was a master of swordsmanship. He was hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. The old guy here should have been eliminated from this world long ago."
Zhao Xiyan said calmly: "He was indeed not an ordinary person back then. He had been building a foundation for a hundred days at the age of nine, entered the cave at the age of ten, and bathed in the snow at the age of thirty. His swordsmanship was superb. Unfortunately, his peak stopped at the age of thirty. , until today, there has been no progress at all, and it has even regressed.”
Bai Xueyi asked: "Why did you come to kill him?"
Zhao Xiyan glanced sideways at him, "It's none of your business."
Bai Xueyi shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing more than enmity, but you were not born when he became famous, and you were not born when he retired from the world, so this enmity was not made between you and him. It was either the teacher or the teacher. Family, what else could there be?”
Zhao Xiyan said: "You are very good at guessing."
Bai Xueyi said: "Just so so."
Zhao Xiyan threw away the handkerchief used to wipe the blood from the sword and stepped forward.
Bai Xueyi followed up and said: "
Xitan is going to hold a meeting of two dynasties, and the venue is Panmen. Are you interested in taking a look? "
Zhao Xiyan stopped, turned around and looked at him, and said suspiciously: "You have been following me. I have never heard of this. Where did you hear it?"
Bai Xueyi smiled and said, "I am capable of everything."
Zhao Xiyan curled his lips.
Bai Xueyi said: "The chief magistrate of Fenglin Academy who defeated Han Yan will also be present. I am very interested in this person, including General He Lang of Panmen. I am also very interested. Of course, I am most interested in you." of."
Zhao Xiyan waved his hand and struck out with a sword, but Bai Xueyi easily dodged it and pretended to beg for mercy: "I was wrong!"
After taking a deep look at Bai Xueyi, Zhao Xiyan turned around and left, "Stop following me."
Of course, Bai Xueyi followed and said: "I also know one thing. Prince Chen Futu invited Jiang Wang to participate in the meeting of the two dynasties. Jiang Wang compared himself to an eagle and regarded the meeting of the two dynasties, whether it was Xi Tan or Sui. Everyone is likened to ants, this matter will soon spread to Panmen, and it will be very lively by then."
Zhao Xiyan had to be curious, where did Bai Xueyi, who had been following her all this time, get so much information?
Ever since she met Bai Xueyi, this person has been very mysterious, but Zhao Xiyan has never thought of getting to the bottom of it, nor will he show any curiosity, but things that are too obvious cannot allow her to be curious.
Although Bai Xueyi only got a beating every time, Zhao Xiyan knew very well that this guy's cultivation level was higher than his own.
There is no such person in Kutan. He either comes from outside or is deeply hidden.
But how could Bai Xueyi's face, as beautiful as a fairy, be hidden without any trace?
"Jiang Wang's words are undoubtedly too
There is something going on here, but in fact I don’t like Jiang Wang very much, so I let these words spread faster. I will arrive at Panmen today and be known to everyone. "
Bai Xueyi said with a smile: "If it were purely aimed at Xi Tan, then of course the Sui people would help Jiang Wang. But it's a pity that these words were said to everyone. What can we do to the weak champion Yu Xue? Then we will deal with it. There will definitely be a lot of people who are disgusted by Jiang Wang."
Zhao Xiyan frowned and said: "Your methods are too mean. You don't like him because of me, right? Although I don't need to explain anything to you, we only have a one-sided relationship. You use this method It’s even more disgusting to deal with him.”
Bai Xueyi said lightly: "Miss Zhao, you are wrong. There are many reasons why I hate him. I actually knew him earlier than you. Although he may not know me, if Miss Zhao insists that it is because of you, , then I will gladly accept it.”
Zhao Xiyan helplessly raised his forehead, "I'll tell you one last time, don't follow me."
Bai Xueyi said: "Then I'll be obedient for a little while. It just so happens that I also have other things to do."
Zhao Xiyan's eyes narrowed, "Do you want to go to Panmen?"
Bai Xueyi smiled and said: "You can't guess my thoughts, Miss Zhao, see you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared without a trace in front of Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Xiyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
...
Kutan Qingxuan Department.
The temporary acting order, Yan Guan, performed his duties diligently, checking the incidents of monsters attacking people in various counties, and sent the demon-suppressing envoys to suppress them. The biggest difference between Ku Tan and Long Chan was that the monks of the sect were the most important in subduing and eliminating monsters, and secondly It's the Qingxuan Department, and the last one is the guard.
Government office.
Because the monks of the sect travel around the counties, their job is to subjugate demons, and the Qingxuan Department suppresses relatively larger events. Like Yankan, every incident of no importance, big or small, They all dispatched envoys to suppress demons, which rarely happened when Liu Xuanming was in office.
After all, Yan Kan comes from the guarding government office. He understands how powerless some Kutan government offices are in the face of monsters. Some government offices in small towns don't have many monks at all. Just ordinary little monsters can be ignored. He couldn't deal with it, so sitting in this position, he tried his best to achieve something.
And this will undoubtedly be a pain for the Qingxuan Department’s demon-suppressing envoys. There are a number of demon-suppressing envoys. If they take care of everything, how can they manage it? They are even working day and night on the road to subjugate and eliminate demons, even for a moment. There is no time to rest, and no one dares to say anything in a short period of time. If things go on like this, they will definitely be dissatisfied.
Yan Kan didn't think of this.
He is preparing for a dispatch mission again.
Lou Yiren knocked on the door outside.
Yan Guan raised his eyes, put down the file, moved his shoulders a little, and said: "The demon envoys from Lou Town have come just in time. There is a river demon causing trouble in the Wei River five hundred miles away. Please pick a few demon envoys to subdue them."
Lou Yiren said in a loud voice: "There is no one in Qingxuan Department."
Yan Kan was stunned.
Lou Yiren said: "The last two demon-suppressing envoys were sent out just an hour ago. The earliest demon-suppressing envoys sent have not come back yet. They received another mission during the execution of the mission, and they solved one another without stopping. Going to the next task, I have replied to the letter many times. In several tasks, monks from the sect intervened early and it was not their turn to solve it. But even so, I kept rushing.
They were exhausted and asked for a rest, but I didn't dare to agree. "
Yan Kan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Let them come back and have a good rest first."
Lou Yiren breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The meeting of the two dynasties will be held at Panmen. The Qingxuan Department has the responsibility to go and set up defenses, but right now we are the only two who can go."
Yan Kan showed a hint of embarrassment.
Lou Yiren glanced at him and said: "Although there are many monks gathered in Panmen, they may not need the Qingxuan Department, but Yan Xingling must be present. The current situation of the Qingxuan Department requires me to stay. So Yan Xingling can only go alone."
Yan Guan was silent.
He could hear some dissatisfaction in Lou Yiren's words. According to Lou Yiren's temperament, he could endure it until now without speaking out. Yan Kan knew better why it was because it was related to the fact that he was Chu Chunqiu's illegitimate son.
But speculation is still speculation and has not been completely confirmed. Slowly, it becomes difficult for the Demon Suppressors to endure it any longer.
Yan Kan realized that his behavior these days was quite inappropriate.
Although he was well-intentioned, as the demon-suppressing envoys on the mission wrote back, many demon-suppressing mission locations already had sect monks present, and the demon-suppressing envoys often made the trip in vain, which was a waste of manpower. , and nothing can be done at all.
"If they can come back, let them come back first. I will go to Panmen myself."
As soon as Yan Kan finished speaking, a sound like a bell sounded outside, "Why is there no one in the Qingxuan Department? What happened?"
Lou Yiren's expression changed, this voice...
