"You step back first and keep an eye on Cao Xianxian. I don't want anyone to hear what I'm saying here."
There was a voice coming from inside the warm sedan, it was a female voice.
Cold and noble, his indifferent tone carries an aura of superiority.
Xu Xingmu happened to come behind the groom and was shocked when he heard the voice, "The envoy from the Southern Kingdom is actually a banshee!"
The groom responded and silently retreated to the side. He turned to face Cao Xianxian at the entrance of Kunci Palace. He smiled slightly and suddenly a green light curtain appeared in front of him. It took root in the ground and gradually spread to the sky. Looking from a distance, it looked like a Vast grassland.
Eunuch Jin's eyes flashed green and he couldn't see anything. He suddenly felt uneasy and said, "Why do you have to carry someone behind your back if you want to say something? Old Cao, can you still see it?"
Cao Xianxian shook his head.
All the sword energy from his body poured into his eyes, and he could only vaguely see the shadow of the groom behind the light curtain. As for the scene in the warm sedan chair, he could not see it, and naturally he could not hear the sound.
I couldn't help but sigh, "The demon clan's innate magical powers are really powerful! If ordinary monks are good at martial arts, they will relax in the practice of magic, and they will inevitably only be able to obtain one of the two. This is not the case with the demon clan. Regardless of their own body, , or skills and cultivation, are all born with it, you only need to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and slowly discover it in the subsequent practice. It's just that the speed of discovery is different because of the level of understanding."
"Fortunately, the demon tribe is restricted by the rules of heaven and earth. Every time the cultivation level is improved by one level, it has to withstand a sky thunder. It is said that the higher the cultivation level, the lower the survival rate under the sky thunder. This is quite fair."
Eunuch Jin said, "Otherwise, I would have wanted to be a monster, and maybe I would have been born with a fourth-level realm."
"Aren't you demon enough?"
Cao Xianxian glanced at him, as if he couldn't understand, "You are a eunuch and not a woman. Why do you spend so much time dressing up every day to make yourself more beautiful than the empress in the harem?"
This is the truth. Eunuch Jin has red lips, white teeth, fair complexion, and good-looking features. The red mole between his eyebrows is charming and makes him look more feminine.
In particular, he is very good at dressing up, and the pink color on his face is just right every time, which is very natural. The ladies in the harem often ask him for advice on makeup skills. This is one of the important reasons why he is so favored in the harem.
When the imperial edict was read out in Taoyuan County that day, Xu Xingmu really accidentally mistook him for a woman. Who can I ask to explain this?
Not only was Eunuch Jin not annoyed when he heard this, he lowered his head and looked shy, "Old Cao, you don't know, sometimes our family really wonders if our family was really a woman in the past life!"
Seeing Eunuch Jin's twitchy posture, Cao Xianxian couldn't help but clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. He struggled to control the knife intent that arose in his body, and turned around expressionlessly.
Although they have worked together for many years, the temperaments between the two father-in-laws have become increasingly different.
One is too yin-qi, and the other is full of masculinity. As expected, the two eunuchs in Daxia each have their own ways of living.
At this time, in front of the Zhu Lun Nuan sedan, the envoy from the South made sure that the groom's grassland barrier blocked Cao Xianxian's spiritual exploration, and then looked at Xu Xingmu, who looked a little uneasy, through the gap in the small window.
After a moment, she spoke. Even though her voice was deliberately kept soft, it still could not hide the aloofness that penetrated her blood. "Mr. Xu, you don't need to be nervous. The reason why Uncle Gao sealed off the atmosphere here is because we The conversation between us must not be heard by people from the Great Xia Dynasty, so we must be cautious."
Xu Xingmu frowned, "Mr. Messenger, have you forgotten that I am also from the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"But you will eventually be the master of the North."
The voice from inside the sedan came again, "Also, don't call me Mr. Messenger, my surname is Bai, Bai Ningyue."
Xu Xingmu was shocked and said, "Okay, Miss Bai, it seems you have investigated me."
"Mr. Taibai told us."
Bai Ningyue said, "After he went to the Holy Tower to ask for poems that day, Mr. Taibai went to the South Country. He said that he might be away for a while and asked us to take good care of you... He also said that if he If you can’t come back, the inheritance of the Northern Swordsmanship will be shouldered by you. Naturally, you have been regarded as the future master of the Northern Land.”
"As expected! The Sword Master went to the Demonic Snowfield to rescue the Dean this time, and he was already prepared to not be able to escape intact!"
Xu Xingmu's mood was inexplicably depressed, and even the three sword intentions in his body seemed to be less sharp than before.
He suddenly asked, "Why did Master Sword Master entrust me to you? I am based in Tai'an City, and I am protected by the Shocking God Array. Wouldn't it be safer?"
Bai Ningyue shook his head, "Hiding in Tai'an City can only guarantee that you will not be invaded by the demons, but the danger here may be more terrifying than the demons... You have to be clear, the Ming Dynasty of the Great Xia Dynasty The Dragon Emperor has always been dissatisfied with the existence of the Northern Territory. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and he will never allow the human race to have two powerful capitals. Therefore, the person who wants to erase the Northern Territory from this world the most is not the terrible demon king. , but Emperor Minglong!"
"Just because of the existence of Mr. Taibai, Emperor Minglong has been unable to take action. Of course, the Shocking God Formation had not yet been formed at that time. Even if Mr. Taibai came to the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, it would be difficult for Emperor Minglong to kill him. And if In the realm of the North, Mr. Taibai is almost invincible, let alone impossible. Just like Emperor Minglong who now holds the Shocking God Formation, he can also be invincible in the realm of Daxia. The Demon Lord is coming. It’s no use either.”
"But it's different now. Mr. Taibai went to the snowfield almost with the belief that he would die. The main purpose was naturally to rescue the dean, but what he wanted to do more was to fight with the demon king who had been invincible for nearly three hundred years. Let’s have a good fight. Although Mr. Taibai is very strong, he has not reached the super level after all. There should not be much suspense about the outcome of the battle in the snowy field. And once Emperor Minglong knows that Mr. Taibai is dead, you, the future The descendants of the Northern Territory no longer have anyone to protect them. I'm afraid that if you don't survive more than two nights, the Northern Territory will soon face war."
Hearing this, Xu Xingmu's heart dropped.
I originally thought that my inheritance of swordsmanship was due to luck, and I would have a bright future from now on, but now it seems that I can't even save my life!
Why is that damn Emperor Minglong so annoying? In order to make the Great Xia Dynasty prosperous, the Northern Territory must be wiped out. How is the logic of banditry different from that of the demons?
"what should I do?"
Xu Xingmu calmed down quickly. The more Bai Ning said so much, he couldn't just tell himself that he was in a dangerous situation and there should be a solution, right?
Sure enough, the voice from inside the sedan quickly came, "First, try not to reveal Mr. Taibai's whereabouts. As long as there is no news of Mr. Taibai's death in the snowfield, Emperor Minglong will not dare to act rashly. Not only are you not in danger in the court, , on the contrary, you will be highly regarded, and all the officials will try their best to curry favor with you."
"Second, you must understand the Northern Swordsmanship as quickly as possible. You must practice hard and never slack off. Strength is the prerequisite for saving your life at any time."
"Third, there will be a winter hunting event in the Great Xia Dynasty in a few days. The location will be on the shore of Dongting Lake. We will arrange an accident where the southern envoy is trapped. Then you just rush to rescue people, and we will be able to He will legitimately regard you as a benefactor, and will then take the opportunity to publicly announce in the Daxia court that you will be favored by the Southern Kingdom from now on. In this way, even if Minglong Emperor knows the news of Mr. Taibai's death, considering the influence of the Southern Kingdom, he should temporarily I won’t do anything to you.”
"It's so troublesome to arrange an accident?"
Xu Xingmu scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed, "Can't you just announce that you will protect me from now on?"
Bai Ningyue explained, "Although Mr. Taibai and the Demon King have always been on good terms, the connection between the North and the South has always been very secretive, almost always bypassing the eyes and ears of the Great Xia Dynasty, because Mingming The Dragon Emperor does not want to see the situation of diplomatic relations between the two countries... If the Southern Kingdom's care for you is too obvious, it will arouse the Ming Dragon Emperor's suspicion and even dissatisfaction. At that time, not only will you be in danger, but the Southern Kingdom's demon clan will only I'm afraid that everyone will be implicated, so I'd better find a safe reason.
Xu Xingmu nodded and suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect that countries have to walk on thin ice to get along with each other. Before, I always thought that the relationship between Daxia and the northern and southern countries was very close."
"We only came to the same position based on the agreement of the Demon-Slaying Alliance. Naturally, we can't say they are very close."
Bai Ningyue said, "Sometimes I even think that if one day in the future, the powerful demon king suddenly leaves this world, the demon clan will no longer be a existence that we are afraid of. Will the Dragon Emperor turn his Great Xia Dynasty into a second demon clan?"
"Don't dare to say this nonsense. If someone hears it, they will be beheaded!"
Xu Xingmu looked around, afraid that someone might hear him.
Fortunately, the grassland barrier of the groom is strong enough and is still hanging firmly in the sky with no sign of disintegration.
Bai Ningyue suddenly smiled, "That's all, Mr. Xu, please remember... In addition, the accident at the Dongting Lake may be very dangerous, but it is purely for the sake of realistic effect, please do not do it, Mr. Xu." You have stage fright, otherwise you will fail.”
Seeing Xu Xingmu nodded, Bai Ningyue suddenly stretched out a hand. That hand was as white as jade, holding a black scroll in its delicate and smooth palm.
"This is?"
When Xu Xingmu took the scroll, he accidentally felt the warmth of her palm. When he thought that it was the hand of a banshee, a strange and curious thought suddenly surged in his heart. Fortunately, his will was strong enough and he did not act on the spot. Embarrassed, I just silently scolded myself for being a pervert.
Bai Ning in the warm sedan seemed to have suddenly sensed something, and her expression was a little unnatural, but she quickly recovered and said, "This is a teleportation scroll, and there is a passage to the South Country in it. If, I am He said that if things come to the worst and Ming Long Emperor is so mad that he insists on killing you, you should open the scroll and use blood essence as the medium to open the teleportation array, and it will take you back to the South Country."
"This is a good thing!"
Xu Xingmu quickly thanked him and carefully put away the life-saving scroll.
Through the small window of the warm sedan, he didn't know where the idea came from, but he wanted to see what Bai Ning Yue looked like. But as soon as he had this idea, a voice from inside the sedan came, "Mr. Xu, I haven't done anything today. Wearing makeup, it’s inconvenient to see people, so let’s wait until next time, and we’ll see you in the palace by then.”
"Huh?"
Xu Xingmu asked curiously, "How did you know that I wanted to peek at you?"
Bai Ningyue was silent for a while, and finally spoke, his voice lowered for some reason, seemingly with a layer of indescribable shame, "The demon race will randomly carry a talent since birth, and my talent is... It’s mind-reading, you can see what others are thinking through their eyes.”
"Mind reading? No need to cast spells, just look at the eyes? This is much more powerful than the Confucian mind-gazing technique!"
When Xu Xingmu heard this, he immediately took three steps back and blinked subconsciously, "So, did you read what I was thinking when I took the scroll?"
Bai Ningyue nodded, "Young master Xu, you don't have to be ashamed of this. It's the first time a human race comes into contact with a demon race woman. It's normal to have some strange thoughts in your heart. Even..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Ningyue paused suddenly, and after a moment he said quietly, "Mr. Xu, you are thinking wildly again."
"Sorry sorry!"
Xu Xingmu looked embarrassed, "I didn't mean to do it. It's really difficult to control. Please forgive me, Miss Bai."
"It doesn't matter."
Bai Ning whispered softly, and was about to give a few more instructions. Suddenly her eyes trembled, and her blue pupils instantly turned into a perfect white. She looked to the horizon, quickly stopped talking, and only left one sentence, "Someone is coming. !”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright golden light suddenly came from a distance, rose in the sky, fell straight down, and actually cut the cyan light curtain in front of the groom into two extremely even halves.
A middle-aged man wearing a white robe appeared out of thin air in front of the Kunci Palace. The golden light dispersed as soon as it hit the ground and quickly poured into the man's eyebrows, turning into a golden line on his forehead.
He stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the groom with a smile, "You're fine, Brother Gao Meng."
