The news that Jian Jiuhuang invited Wang Xianzhi to fight quickly spread throughout Emperor Wu City, and countless people from the world rushed towards the city.
It has been many years since Emperor Wu's city had seen such a master showdown like today. Everyone who came here was very excited and wished they had an extra pair of feet so that they could arrive faster.
"Wang Xianzhi, let's wait until the conversation is over."
After saying that, Old Huang's sword box opened wide, and all five swords came out to attack Wang Xianzhi. The eight sword styles changed in turn, and Wang Xianzhi dealt with it with ease.
After a brief change of moves, Lao Huang knew that his first eight moves were completely useless against Wang Xianzhi, so he sighed and grinned.
The momentum around him increased greatly, and Lao Huang shouted loudly: "Sword Nine, Six Thousand Miles!"
When the sword came out, it was like a galaxy hanging upside down, tilting thousands of miles. Wang Xianzhi's expression changed slightly, and he raised both hands to face the sword.
After the sword passed, Lao Huang Li exhausted and sat on the ground. Wang Xianzhi lowered his head and looked at the ruined sleeves and praised: "What a sword! With this sword, your Jian Jiuhuang is worthy of being called a kendo master!"
"Alas~ This unfinished fight ended up being defeated just like it did many years ago~" Lao Huang sighed.
As he spoke, Lao Huang took out the Nine Returns Golden Pill given by Ying Zhu from his arms and swallowed it. A warm current slowly flowed from his Dantian through all the meridians and acupuncture points in his body.
In just a few breaths, Lao Huang Jing's energy was high, his strength had recovered, his waist was no longer sore, and his legs were no longer tired, as if he had suddenly become ten years younger.
Wang Xianzhi stared at this scene.
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Xianzhi asked curiously: "What kind of pill was that pill you just took? Is it so magical? Where did you get it?"
Lao Huang chuckled: "This pill was given to me by my uncle, this bad old man. It's very precious."
"Your uncle? I've never heard that you have a daughter?"
"My uncle is the husband of my princess, and I am now living with my young master, the famous Northern Liang Crown Prince, do you know? He is so powerful!" Lao Huang said with pride on his face.
The corner of Wang Xianzhi's mouth twitched slightly. The Northern Liang Crown Prince does have a great reputation, but is your reputation serious?
The two had been separated for many years, and after this battle today, they seemed to have suddenly become good friends, sitting on the top of the city chatting.
... ...
The next day.
Qingguo, one stone residence.
"Brother Ying, I couldn't talk at the banquet that day, so I kept thinking that we could get together alone later, drink and chat, and deepen our relationship. But it's not easy to meet each other." The second prince said with a smile.
"It would be too easy for Brother Li to want to see me in Qingguo. But I did have something to do yesterday, so I couldn't go to the invitation. This glass of wine should be considered as an apology to Brother Li for what happened yesterday."
Ying Zhu picked up the wine glass and drank the liquor in one gulp.
"Hahaha, brother Ying, it's all trivial. It's not a crime for us brothers to talk about making amends." The second prince laughed.
"Brother Ying, this is your first time coming to Qingguo. How do you feel about Qingguo?"
Ying Zhu smiled and said: "That's naturally great. Qingguo feels like a second home to me, and it makes me feel at ease as if I were in Daqin."
"Haha, then Brother Ying must stay a little longer and let me fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
The second prince held the wine glass and looked at the palace in the distance, gradually becoming distracted.
"Brother Ying, when the world was in chaos, although the relationship between Qin and Qing was not hostile, it was not like it is now. It was His Majesty the First Emperor and my father who met by chance, and the two of them got along, and the alliance was concluded after my father ascended the throne. "
"Brother Li recalls these old things, you might as well tell him what you want to express."
"Qingguo and Daqin are different. The people in Daqin who are most likely to inherit that position are only Young Master Fusu and Brother Ying. I have heard for a long time that your brothers are very close and have a very good relationship, so no matter who of you takes that position , the other party has no worries.”
"You don't need to worry about this, but I can't. It's a blessing and a tragedy to be born into the royal family, because the most difficult thing about being a son is the royal family. Children and grandchildren from other families also compete, but if you lose, the most you will lose is your future, your family property, and your face."
"But if I lose, I will lose my life! Compared with the prince, I think I can match him or even surpass him in every aspect. He is not as good as me, but why can I only sharpen his sword? Stone?"
"Now that things have happened, I have told you some things directly, Brother Ying. I have made many arrangements over the years. I..."
"No need to say any more, I know what you want to say, but...I'm sorry that I can't do anything." Ying Zhu interrupted.
The second prince's expression changed again and again, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Why?"
The second prince was well aware of Ying Zhu's abilities and methods. He knew that Ying Zhu refused to help him, but he just wanted to know why. What is not enough about you? Why exactly! ! !
"It is inconvenient to interfere in the political affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and if Brother Li is really ambitious and confident that he can sit in that position, then why not take a gamble yourself and come to me to help you instead." Ying Zhu said lightly.
The second prince gradually calmed down and regained his smile. He raised his glass and said, "Brother Ying is right, it's me who's in trouble."
After a brief reunion with the second prince, Ying Zhu returned to the other courtyard and happened to bump into Fusu who was about to go out.
"I was just going to look for you, fourth brother, have everything been settled?"
"It's done, let's talk inside."
The two brothers walked into the main hall side by side. Ying Zhu took out a small, thin paper book from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Fusu.
"I have secretly visited the capital of Qingguo these days. I have generally recorded the business model of Qingguo. Brother, I can just go back and hand it over to my father."
Fusu opened the book and read it carefully, line by line. After a long time, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, as expected of you, you are as careful as ever."
"By the way, didn't you go to see Fan Xian before? How's it going?"
Ying Zhu smiled and said: "I have already said what needs to be said. With his temperament, he will think clearly. Once this guy really understands, he will definitely surprise people like Qingguo."
"Well, I have finished discussing all the matters that need to be discussed with Emperor Qing. Since the Qing Kingdom is over, let's set off back to Qin tomorrow."
"Brother, let Gao Shun escort you back to the camp. I won't go back yet."
Fusu asked in confusion: "Is there anything else to do in Qingguo?"
"It's not the Qing Kingdom, brother. These days of secretly teasing the Qing Kingdom gave me an idea. Since the Qin Dynasty wants to open up trade routes, why not travel all over the world and go to the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties to see what they did. Maybe Then we can summarize the business development method that belongs to our Daqin."
"So I thought, go out for a walk and travel around the world. Firstly, I can secretly familiarize myself with and learn the methods implemented by various dynasties. Secondly, now that the world is about to become lively again, it's time to make arrangements in advance."
