The other party's intention has been made very clear, which is to win over Yan Ming on behalf of Pingnan Palace.
Yan Ming had heard before that King Pingnan and the Crown Prince recruited experts and cultivated elites. Now it seemed that the rumors were true, and they were really willing to take advantage of them.
Yan Ming could tell that this sword was indeed extraordinary, much stronger than the blood sword he was using now, and it could be called a rare sword in the world.
For their warriors, money, gold, silver and jewelry may not be very attractive, but few can refuse a weapon that suits them.
Sometimes a magical weapon may mean a huge jump in strength, or even an extra life.
Even Yan Ming couldn't help but glance at the sword a few more times.
Lu Tianxiang, who was opposite, continued to introduce with a smile.
"And if Yan Baotou is willing to reward me with a favor, this is just a meeting gift for our prince, and there will be other gifts in the future."
Lu Tianxiang introduced very proudly: "For example, our prince can give you sword sharpening stones as a gift, and arrange for several master-level swordsmen in the house to help Yan Captou hone his sword skills."
Sharpening stone?
Yan Ming had heard about this before, and heard some Jianghu people talking about it while eating at Tongfu Inn.
Legend has it that decades ago, two top swordsmen at the Grand Master level met for a duel. One was a swordsman and the other was a swordsman. This caused an uproar in the world, and countless people wanted to see the duel between the two.
The discussion and attention it aroused at the time was no less than that of the duel between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng in today's arena, so that many people still praise this battle to this day.
The stone platform where they dueled was almost completely shattered, with only some remaining stones telling the intensity of the battle.
These stones are the sharpening stones.
The remaining sword-sharpening stone not only commemorates that duel, but also contains the superb swordsmanship of the two great master-level swordsmen, so that it can be used by some martial arts practitioners who also major in swordsmanship, which is quite helpful. beneficial.
This also resulted in fewer and fewer knife-sharpening stones, and finally only a few of the largest ones remained, which were collected by important figures.
Legend has it that there is a piece in the imperial palace, and there is also a piece in Pingnan Palace.
If he was willing to take out this extremely precious sharpening stone just to win over himself, King Pingnan would indeed be bleeding.
Lu Tianxiang's words continued to come.
"In addition, our prince also feels deeply unworthy of Yan Baotou. For a young hero like Yan Baotou to just stay in Qixia Town would be a waste of natural resources. If Yan Baotou is willing to join our prince, he will definitely have a great future. I ask you to mention the future."
Lu Tianxiang talked a lot, and then looked at Yan Ming hopefully.
It has to be said that they made sufficient preparations before wooing Yan Ming, and the conditions they promised were well thought out. Most people really can't refuse. At least the sword and the sharpening stone, Yan Ming is also quite interested.
However, after the other party finished speaking, Yan Ming still smiled and said nothing. He did not pick up the sword handed over by the other party, nor did he take a second look at the gold and silver jewelry on the stone table.
If it were other circumstances, Yan Ming would probably have to think about it a little more.
But for King Pingnan, Yan Ming knew that according to the original plot, there was a high probability that the other party would not be able to successfully rebel, and would be liquidated in the end.
Of course, Yan Ming would not be willing to side with them, who had a greater chance of losing.
"Thanks to the prince's attention, I am flattered. It's just that I'm used to being lazy and have no intention of moving."
Yan Ming said lukewarmly.
Hearing Yan Ming refuse, the other party was also quite surprised.
They originally thought that King Pingnan had invested so much money that even if they saw it they couldn't help but be moved, so it would be successful, but Yan Ming's reaction was completely opposite to what they expected.
For a moment, Lu Tianxiang was even a little doubtful. Did Yan Ming see how extraordinary their sword was? Do you know how precious knife sharpening stones are?
Even the people next to him were quite surprised.
To be honest, they were even a little jealous.
Because they were once well-known figures in the world outside, and they all experienced the process of being attracted by King Pingnan and then joining him. After they became the guests of King Pingnan's palace, they were already among the top batch, and those who were stronger than them were There are only a few people.
But King Pingnan didn't spend so much thought on them at the beginning, nor did he send such a heavy sword and meeting gift, nor did he make so many loose promises.
Compared with each other, some of them were even a little jealous of Yan Ming.
However, they don't have a temper either, because Yan Ming has recently become famous in the world, and his continuous achievements are indeed worthy of King Pingnan's attention.
I just didn't expect that Yan Ming would directly reject it without even thinking about it!
Lu Tianxiang, who was opposite him, still had a faint smile on his face, but the atmosphere was already a little cold at this time, and he felt a little bit smiley.
The familiar atmosphere a moment ago cooled down, and Yan Ming's situation became more delicate.
After all, now he was sitting on the stone bench in the center, facing Lu Tianxiang, while several other people had already formed a vague surrounding to surround Yan Ming.
The most dangerous middle-aged man happened to adjust his position and stood behind Yan Ming where it was most difficult to guard against.
If Yan Ming agreed, everything would be fine, but if he didn't agree, it seemed very dangerous, as if he would be attacked by the other party at any time.
Looking at Yan Ming again, he still didn't look worried at all. The old god was looking at the opposite side without any fear. His whole body was relaxed. He seemed completely defenseless and full of loopholes, but he seemed to be able to make a move at any time.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Tianxiang even felt that Yan Ming was not afraid, and was a little bit looking forward to fighting with the others on his side.
For a moment, Lu Tianxiang narrowed his eyes.
After a moment, he laughed again, and the tense atmosphere here suddenly relaxed, and the faint sense of oppression of several grand masters was swept away.
"Yan Captou, don't jump to conclusions so quickly, otherwise you can go back and think about it again. Our prince is always thirsty for talents, and the door will always be open to you."
After saying that, Lu Tianxiang no longer dwelled on this issue, but still motioned to the person next to him to hand over the sword.
"Even if Capt. Yan has not made a decision, he can still accept the prince's wishes. Besides, this matter..."
Lu Tianxiang said, looking at the Holy Envoy Qinglu next to him.
Yan Ming shook his head and still didn't answer.
He knows very well that this advantage is not easy to take advantage of. Regardless of whether he agrees or not, as long as he takes the other party's things, he will not be able to tell.
"This is simple."
As Yan Ming spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and flicked his fingers, sending out a few blasts of zhenqi, which instantly penetrated the meridians in Qinglu's body.
Suddenly, the previously blocked meridians and acupuncture points suddenly relaxed, and then the true energy in the body began to flow as usual.
Before Lu Tianxiang could see clearly on the opposite side, he saw Yan Ming raise his hand, and a little antidote flew into the opponent's mouth, and soon the effect of Shixiang Ruanjin Powder also diminished.
Xuan Qian Phantom Hand was included in his movements, and at such a close distance, several people who were also at the Grand Master level did not even see Yan Ming's technique clearly.
Several people couldn't help but look at each other.
After finishing this in a moment, the Holy Envoy Qinglu closed his eyes and felt it, and then stretched his arms. He felt that his strength was gradually recovering, and he finally took a breath.
"Thank you very much, Yan Baotou. This time, our Pingnan Palace owes Yan Baotou a favor."
"Easy to say." Yan Ming nodded and stood up immediately.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave. Thank you again for your kindness."
After saying that, Yan Ming stepped out and drifted away.
Yan Ming did not delay in their request. The main reason was that even if he did not join the opponent, it was still early before the battle at the top of the Forbidden City. Pingnan Palace would be powerful for a long time, and there was no need to have a grudge against the opponent, let alone return the favor. With Guo Juxia's letter here, there is no need for him to be unhappy looking for it.
After this time, it was confirmed that Prince Pingnan's Palace and the Black Lotus Sect were indeed closely related. Yan Ming hoped that the next six sects would fight each other secretly, so that nothing would happen to him.
As he left, Yan Ming could even feel a sense of spiritual loss in the sword spirit in his body, as if he was regretting that he had passed by a precious sword.
At present, Yan Ming's blood sword is indeed a bit insufficient, but there is more than one precious sword in the world, so there is no need to worry about it.
As Yan Ming's figure disappeared, the middle-aged man walked over.
"Manager Cui, how are you doing?"
Lu Tianxiang raised his hands and saluted and asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head, but his appearance showed that he was an old man with a thick beard and a Chinese character face, but his voice was a bit shrill.
"This kid is a bit interesting. Even I can't unblock his acupoint-sealing skills, and his sword skills, techniques, light skills, body skills, and character are all top-notch. If he had done it just now, we might not have been able to do it. I can keep him."
"Is it that powerful?"
Hearing Manager Cui give such a high evaluation to Yan Ming, Lu Tianxiang couldn't believe it, and then sighed.
"It's a pity that such talents cannot be used by the prince. What a pity!"
"In normal times, we would have time to slowly process him, but now, the prince's plan is already advancing. Try not to cause unnecessary problems and attract unnecessary attention. Guo Juxia and Zhuge Shenhou agreed so readily this time, they must have noticed it. What, let’s go back.”
After Manager Cui finished speaking, he and Lu Tianxiang looked at the Holy Envoy Qinglu.
Judging from their demeanor, they even showed respect for Holy Envoy Qinglu, and they didn't look like they were escorting the prisoners at all.
"Okay, let the prince and the important things I teach take priority. As for this kid, I can come and deal with him at any time in the future."
Holy Envoy Qinglu spoke, but recalling the scene where Yan Ming searched him before, he still felt a little itchy.
"Okay, let's go."
Soon, the group of them left the pavilion.
At the same time, Yan Ming stood far away, looking at them thoughtfully.
Yan Ming could not continue to get closer, otherwise he would be discovered by the other party. Fortunately, his six senses were sharp and he could vaguely hear some of the other party's conversation.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Ming stood up again.
Before noon, Yan Ming, who had been traveling in a hurry, returned to Qixia Town.
Some of the villages passed by on the road were all similar, but as soon as they approached Qixia Town, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
The merchants and teams coming and going outside, and the hawkers setting up stalls on the roadside, everything became very orderly, and at the same time there was a sense of security. It seemed that as soon as they entered the boundary of Qixia Town, they all breathed a sigh of relief, no need Worried about safety issues.
Yan Ming quickly approached the town entrance, then slowed down and walked in normally.
"Yan Captou, where have you been?"
"Yan Captou is good!"
People kept saying hello to Yan Ming, and Yan Ming nodded.
Looking around the outskirts of Qixia Town, construction was still in full swing in several directions.
After all, after Qixia Town solved its safety problems and became prosperous, the overall size of the town has begun to expand, and new houses can often be seen. Of course, these must be reported to the Yamen before they can be built, and they are not random.
Although Yan Ming did a lot of things this time, he went to Jile Tower at night, so he was fully prepared and only disappeared in the eyes of the residents of Qixia Town for a day and a half.
But even so, many people in the town are not used to it anymore. After all, Yan Ming patrolling the streets with a knife has become a sight, and it is very uncomfortable to not see it.
As Yan Ming's figure reappeared on the street, many people's hanging hearts relaxed.
Some people even laughed at themselves, thinking that they were worried too much. With Yan Baotou's strength, what dangers could he encounter? I may have something to do today...
Yan Ming quickly patrolled the town. Everything was as usual, nothing unusual happened.
But as Yan Ming came to the prison, there was an unexpected gain.
When the jailers saw him coming, they hurriedly reported that while Yan Ming was away last night, a man died in the prison mechanism.
As he said that, several jailers brought a corpse, which was already a bit blurry.
The murderous mechanism designed by Zhu Ting was not that strong, and the fact that the other party turned out like this shows that he had to bite the bullet and go deep, and then he ended up like this.
The jailers found out after the fact and did not know the other party's identity, but Yan Ming took a closer look and focused on the other party's clothes.
He had seen similar clothing before, and it was the clothing worn by the gangsters of the twelve zodiac signs.
This is the person of the twelve zodiac signs!
It was obvious that the other party wanted to sneak into the prison and rescue Wei Mayi while he was away, but he could only lose the rice by stealing the chicken.
After reading this, Yan Ming waved his hand and asked them to take the body away first, but he did not deal with it immediately. He planned to ask Jiao Tongwei from Zuojiazhuang next door to do an autopsy to see if they could find anything.
Soon, Yan Ming walked out and patrolled to the east side of the town. He saw Mo Xiaobei, who had just finished school, walking back to Tongfu Inn.
She seemed to be in a good mood, humming a little tune, and holding a very bright and dazzling golden sunflower in her hand.
Soon, Mo Xiaobei returned to the inn.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Bai, I'm back."
Mo Xiaobei spoke, and then wanted to walk to the backyard.
"Wait a minute, what is that thing you are holding?"
Bai Zhantang asked, but before Mo Xiaobei could explain, his hands were empty and the flowers were snatched away by Bai Zhantang.
"Hey, it's okay, Xiaobei. I like flowers lately."
Bai Zhantang was talking and laughing, looking at the sunflowers with a smile. However, when he saw the shape of the sunflowers, Bai Zhantang's expression suddenly changed and he threw the sunflowers away like an electric shock.
"What's going on, Lao Bai?" Tong Xiangyu looked strangely.
Bai Zhantang's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice and said to Tong Xiangyu: "No, I have to leave quickly. This is a token of the Sunflower Sect! If someone appears nearby, someone from the Sunflower Sect must be here. It's over, they must be here to catch me!" "
