Seeing that there were only two days left before the agreed date, Cao Qiong put on a brand new gown, put the Feiying Sword behind his back, and prepared to go to Qingyang City to keep the appointment. Seeing Cao Qiong, who had always been slovenly, look brand new, Lu Huaiyuan was shocked. He put the iron gun aside, trotted over, sat down and looked around, exclaiming: "It's really nice to see you in the daytime." It’s a ghost. Master, why are you changing into new clothes? Are you going to see an old friend?”
Cao Qiong said angrily: "You little bastard, if you dare to amuse me, I'm looking for a beating!"
Lu Huaiyuan stuck out his tongue, looked at Cao Qiong's new clothes, swallowed secretly, then looked down at his patched clothes and pants, and the worn-out straw sandals that could no longer wrap his toes, timidly. Said: "Master, when can you buy new clothes for your disciple?"
Although Cao Qiong is known as the sword god of the generation, he has not founded a sect, and he has no means of making money. He can only barely maintain food and clothing. He has no extra money, so he is a little shy. Hearing this, he couldn't help but blush. , the guilt in his heart deepened, and he said softly: "My dear disciple, I'm going to see an old friend. When I come back, how about I buy you a new set of clothes? You have to practice martial arts well these days when I'm not at home." , Never be lazy and listen to your Granny Mei."
Lu Huaiyuan nodded: "Master, don't worry. If you go out alone, be more careful."
Cao Qiong's heart felt warm, he smiled slightly, went down the mountain alone, and embarked on the road to Qingyang City.
At the same time, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Feng Jingquan left Qingyang City for the first time since he succeeded to the throne. He took only Yang Xiu with him and went to Yunyin Temple, intending to visit the temple in person to invite Monk Kongshan to come out again.
In Yunyin Temple, apart from Monk Kongshan, only Liu Gongyang had seen Feng Jingquan's true face in Lushan. The monks in the temple only thought that one of Feng and Yang was noble and the other was gloomy, which was really eye-catching. However, Yunyin Temple because of Youkongshan is in charge, and outsiders come here all the year round. The monks in the temple have long been accustomed to this and don't take it to heart.
The two of them went straight to the back mountain. Yang Xiu's domineering attitude was exposed. The monks did not dare to stop him and could only inform Jingxin. After the latter learned the news, they rushed over and stopped in front of the two of them. They put their hands together and saluted: "Two." I am a donor, and the mountain behind is a forbidden area of this temple. If the donor wants to offer incense, I am afraid he is going the wrong way."
Yang Xiu was furious and was about to teach this ignorant monk a lesson, but was stopped by Feng Jingquan. Feng Jingquan smiled and said: "Master, the two of us came here to find the holy monk of Kongshan. If there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me."
Meditation is the answer: Uncle Master has been hiding in the world for many years and has been staying in the back mountain to cultivate. Since the two of you are old friends, you might as well report your name, or let the young monk report on your behalf. "
Feng Jingquan smiled playfully: "You really don't know who I am?"
Jingxin just shook his head. Yang Xiu, who was behind Feng Jing, moved a step laterally, and his momentum suddenly surged!
Jingxin was startled, the man in front of him had a sinister aura, but his aura was even greater than his own. Just as he was getting ready to give it a go, Liu Gongyang came from the thatched cottage on the back hill and said to Jingxin: "Senior brother, don't be rude. ." Then he turned to look at Feng Jingquan: "Donor, we meet again."
When Feng Jingquan saw Liu Gongyang, he was filled with joy and said with a smile: "Yes, little master, we meet again."
Liu Gongyang nodded and returned the greeting: "My master has been waiting for a long time. Please come with the two benefactors."
When Jingxin saw Liu Gongyang getting acquainted with these two people, he took the initiative to take a step back. Suddenly, he thought of Yang Xiu, who was ranked in front of him on the list of great talents and had such a strong Yin Qi, and the rich and powerful person next to him. The identity of the middle-aged man also came to light, and Jingxin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He accidentally offended the current emperor, and he really deserved death. Fortunately, Feng Jingquan didn't take this matter to heart. He nodded towards Jingxin and then followed Liu Gongyang towards the back mountain.
An hour later, Feng Jing was completely satisfied and took Yang Xiu back to Qingyang City, leaving only the sad Kong Shan sighing in the thatched house at the back.
————
The sixth day of June arrived as scheduled, and Cao Qiong entered Qingyang City early, but he didn't know where to go next. Qiu Yao only said that we would meet in Qingyang City today, but he did not mention when and where. Just as Cao Qiong was hesitating, Yang Xiu came slowly from the other side of the street. Seeing this defeated general, Cao Qiong sneered, "It's really unlucky to see you, a castrated bird, so early in the morning!"
Yang Xiu said with a smile on his face: "Don't be too anxious to get angry, Sword God. I have been ordered to come here today, and I specially invite the Sword God to enter the palace for a brief talk."
Cao Qiong said suspiciously: "I have never had any contact with your master. We have nothing to talk about, and we can't talk together. I have important things to attend to, and I don't have time to listen to your farts. If you keep pestering me, I don't mind letting you do this. The eunuch who already has few legs will lose one!"
Hearing the implication of Cao Qiong's words, Yang Xiu suppressed his anger. Thinking of Cao Qiong's fate soon, he forced a smile and said: "The Sword God really misunderstood today. This junior knows why the Sword God came today. If the senior wants to see Qiu Yao, , you might as well come with the juniors."
When he heard the word Qiu Yao, Cao Qiong's heart trembled. He felt as if he had fallen into a huge trap. He wanted to run away, but firstly he was worried about Qiu Yao's safety. Secondly, since Yang Xiu dared to show up blatantly, , must be confident, I'm afraid it's not that easy to leave now. Once you've come, make peace with it. With the three-foot green blade behind you, at worst, you can use it to attack every move, and kill it with one sword. He sneered: "Then you are a castrated bird." Just lead the way quickly, I want to see what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd!"
The two of them walked towards the palace. There were fewer and fewer people along the way. As Cao Qiong was thinking, he discovered many martial arts masters. Although Qingyang City was the number one city in the world, the fact that there were so many martial arts masters appearing at the same time was really serious. Abnormally, thinking that these people were used to deal with me, I couldn't help but sneer: "I am so proud that it is worthy of Feng Jingquan to put up such a big battle! Now that I have taken over your position in the palace, where is my good brother Qiu Yao?"
Yang Xiu said with a smile: "We are already talking about this, and the Sword God still remembers his hatred. This friendship is really touching. After the Sword God enters the palace, the truth will come to light, so why bother at this moment."
Cao Qiong was dissatisfied, but now it was difficult to get off the tiger, so he could only be led by Yang Xiu.
The two entered the imperial city quickly. As if they were worried that Cao Qiong would get angry and hurt someone, Feng Jingquan stayed away. In the center of Hanyuan Hall stood a short and elderly monk, while Li Xian stood aside with a sword in both hands. There were also many martial-looking men standing behind the old monk. Cao Qiong guessed the identity of the old monk at once, pointed to the empty mountain, and asked sternly: "Old Bald Donkey, where is my virtuous brother Qiu Yao now?"
Monk Kongshan took a step forward, clasped his hands and said, "I have seen the Sword God. His reputation is as thunderous as the name of the Sword God. When I saw him today, he was indeed well-deserved. As for Qiu Yao, he came to Yunyin Temple to challenge the old man twenty years ago. After losing, he was willing to He was imprisoned in the temple for a day, and the old man did not die, or he could not break the golden body of the old man, so he did not leave the temple for a day, and he is still in retreat in Yunyin Temple. The Sword God may not be able to see him today. "
Cao Qiong sneered: "It turns out that all this is a conspiracy, but I never expected that the number one person in the world would be Feng Jingquan's bastard. You are not worthy of being the leader of the world's warriors, so I will beat you today." Fall into the world!"
