Ten days later, Yang Xiu returned to Qingyang City in high spirits. This time Emperor Wu of Liang issued an order to recruit people from all walks of life. If anyone disobeyed, Yang Xiu would kill them first and take over the power of life and death. In this regard, Yang Xiu secretly killed many talented young talents with his own hands to prevent these rising stars from becoming a stumbling block to his martial arts success in the future.
In the palace, Feng Jingquan asked with a smile: "Eunuch Yang is back. Now ten days have passed. How has the harvest been for Eunuch Yang?"
Yang Xiu bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, after being recruited by slaves in many ways, among the warriors who are now willing to submit to the imperial court, one of the second-class dirt-breaking realm masters is Zhan Yunfei, a hidden weapon master of the Tang Clan in Shu, and a master of the standing and rooting realm. One person each, among whom Wu Qinglin is good at boxing, and Li Yuan is the leading stick master of the Jiangnan generation. There are 17 third-level martial arts warriors, 81 fourth-level warriors, plus the fifth and sixth levels, a total of 423 people. , a total of seventy-two sects, large and small, and a total of twenty-seven sects, large and small, that did not want to submit to me, Daliang, have been completely killed by the slaves."
Feng Jingquan was very satisfied with this and said with a smile: "Eunuch Yang, thank you for your hard work. In the future, Eunuch Lao will continue to conquer these people in the world for me."
Yang Xiu bent down and said: "Serving your Majesty is a slave's duty. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have sent out all the servants of Tiandi Pavilion. I believe that the entire Liang Kingdom will be at your Majesty's disposal soon."
Feng Jingquan smiled broadly: "Then I'll help Eunuch Yang."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome." Yang Xiu said, "Your Majesty, I have one more matter, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not."
"Father-in-law, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"Your Majesty, do you remember asking me, among the warriors in the world, who would be the greatest threat to me, Daliang, if they were to fight without hesitation?"
Feng Jingquan nodded: "Of course I remember that among the warriors in the world, my father-in-law once said that Cao Qiong was the most lethal and the greatest threat to our country, Daliang. If there is a chance, he will be eliminated quickly. Why, my father-in-law wants me to order the army to go out? Encircle and suppress Cao Qiong?"
Yang Xiu shook his head and said: "No, even if the army goes out for battle, Sikong Li and Liu Huailiang have learned a bloody lesson from attacking and killing our Liang army. I advise your majesty not to send troops rashly. Not to mention the location of Sword God Mountain In the territory of Chu State, there are dangers when the army crosses the border, and you must always be on guard against Sikong Li and Baili Jin leading their troops to wait for the opportunity. Moreover, it is said that Sword God Mountain is the ruins of an ancient sword formation. As long as anyone is on the boundary of Sword God Mountain, Cao Qiong can The sword formation is invincible. Therefore, in my opinion, the only way to trick Cao Qiong into Qingyang City is to plan and kill him."
Feng Jingquan frowned and asked, "But no one in our Liang Kingdom is familiar with Cao Qiong. How can we trick him into coming to the city?"
"I have a plan, you can give it a try." Yang Xiu bowed and said, "Eight years ago, I had a deal with Cao Qiong who had not yet entered the realm of heaven and man. The minion used both swords, and Cao Qiong was not empty-handed. Opponent, later Cao Qiong accidentally mentioned a name - Qiu Yao. Over the years, after many inquiries, I finally found out who this Qiu Yao is. "
"This man is so talented that he dominated the world twenty years ago. Like a slave, he is good at using two swords. He was originally a swordsman from the south. At a weak age, he challenged Cao Qiong, who was already famous in the world at that time. There was no winner or lose. After two They became close friends for many years, and were known as the South Sword and the North Sword. They traveled all over the world together with Cao Qiong, and then they parted ways in Dongting Mountain and their whereabouts are unknown."
Feng Jingquan frowned and asked, "Qiu Yao? Why have I never heard of this person's name?"
Yang Xiu explained: "Twenty years ago, your majesty was still young, and this person became famous very early, but he was like a flash in the pan in the world. He only lasted for three months. It is normal that your majesty has never heard of him. If he didn't hear it accidentally, When people mention him, even if he is a slave, he will not remember that such a person exists."
Feng Jingquan asked again: "Since the whereabouts of this person are unknown, why did Eunuch Yang mention it today? How could he use this Qiu Yao's name to trick Cao Qiong into coming to Qingyang City?"
Yang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, please be patient and listen to the details of the servant. But after the two separated, Qiu Yao, who was determined to become the best in the world, set his sights on the world's recognized successor after Chu Tianji. The first person, Holy Monk Kongshan, went to Yunyin Temple alone, and had a private contest with Kongshan. It seems that Monk Kongshan was superior in skill and defeated Qiu Yao. The two seemed to have reached an agreement, and Qiu Yao After Yao was defeated, he was willing to imprison himself in Yunyin Temple, using the painted ground as a prison. As long as he could not destroy the old monk's Buddhist statue, he would never enter the world. It has been twenty years now. This feud between Yao and Cao Qiong Wangnian Although they have not known each other for a long time, they are like brothers. If Cao Qiong learns that Qiu Yao is still alive, he will travel thousands of miles to see him. At that time, your majesty can ask Kongshan to help and set up a place in Qingyang City. Lay an ambush and kill the old thief Cao on the spot!"
Feng Jingquan frowned and thought to himself: "My third grandfather has never mentioned these old things to me. It seems that he has become an outsider after becoming a monk. He really doesn't want to care about worldly things." He became more determined in his heart. One day I will eliminate the idea of empty mountains. Looking at Yang Xiu, he asked: "How can the Holy Monk of Kongshan be willing to participate? If he is unwilling to take action, who in the world can surely defeat Cao Sword God?"
Yang Xiu sighed: "This is my only concern. In the final analysis, this series of plans still depends on who has greater ability and higher cultivation level. Kongshan is the most critical part of it. If you are unwilling to take action, it will be difficult." Very, but the servant believes that since Kongshan Monk is the best martial arts master in the world and is famous for his indestructibility, he should be looking forward to competing with Cao Qiong, the most lethal one. As for how to convince the old monk, that's it. It all depends on you, Your Majesty."
Feng Jingquan nodded and said: "Don't worry, Eunuch Yang, I will definitely invite Kongshan Monk to kill the old thief Cao quickly!"
