Seven.
Dead Man's Sword is neither deaf nor stupid, so of course he can see that these are seven jade gourds. The number seven is rather magical. After all, the level of heaven that my wife wants to break through is also seven.
so···
Zhou Li is actually one of his own? !
At this time, Dead Man's Sword was already filled with turmoil. He couldn't believe that Zhou Li, who was fighting with swords not long ago, turned out to be one of his own. Because the news sounded so shocking, Dead Man's Knife had no doubts for a moment.
It's like if you are late and say you are stuck in traffic, the other party may be suspicious.
But if you say that you pooped your pants on the way to work and changed your pants when you got home, then the other party will have to believe you. After all, this stuff is so impactful that even if you don’t believe it, you won’t be able to believe it.
Dead Man's Blade thought about it carefully, and then he discovered that if Zhou Li was really one of his own, many things would make sense.
In order for the lady to successfully pass the seven levels, she must find a human monk and give him the seeds to pass the seven levels. In this case, Madam will definitely find a trustworthy person to go through the seven levels. After all, how could such a big thing be left to a stranger?
Therefore, with the Jinling Sword granted by the King of Han Dynasty, Zhou Li, who can be regarded as half of his own people, became the person who broke through the seven levels. In order to assist Zhou Li, Mrs. Golden Snake sent Master Qianhu, which can explain why Master Qianhu pretended to be a good person and did good deeds every day.
Isn't this just helping Zhou Li accumulate virtue and do good deeds?
Do you need merit to pass through seven levels?
Dead Man's Sword's thoughts were spinning. After a moment, he scratched his head and asked hesitantly: "Master Zhou Li, since you are also... one of our own, why did you come to beat me?"
"idiot."
With a sneer, Zhou Li slapped the dead man's sword on the forehead and said, "Zhang Suohao cooperated with you before to create evil soul jade. Now that the matter has been exposed, what do you think is the best solution for him?"
"It's better that we cooperate."
Dead Man's Knife was quite upright and said bluntly:
"At that time, officials and monsters collaborated inside and outside, killed people, and manufactured evil soul jade. Once this matter was exposed, he would not be able to lose a few heads. But the thirteen cities of the North Ring are his and our territory, and this matter No one dares to report the matter. So all he can do is cooperate with us and kill all the insiders."
After finishing speaking, Dead Man's Blade glanced at Zhou Li and found that he had no expression. He was a little confused and didn't understand why Zhou Li suddenly asked this obvious question.
"Is there no second way?"
Zhou Li looked at the Dead Man's Knife and asked, "If you think about it again, there is another possibility besides this path."
Is there another way? If he doesn't cooperate with our Golden Snake Gang, can he still kill me?
etc.
Dead Man's Knife was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
It really works.
"That's right."
Looking at the dead man's knife whose face gradually stiffened and his expression became strange, Zhou Li nodded and said:
"As expected, Zhang Suohao should have discovered that I am the King of Han's man long ago. But he will definitely not tell you directly, but will be vague, saying that I may be the spy of the King of Han, right?"
Dead Man's Blade swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that Zhou Li's words were exactly right.
After snorting coldly, Zhou Li slowly said:
"The reason why Zhang Suohao said this is that he didn't want to kill me with his own hands, because if he killed me, the King of Han would take revenge on him. However, he was also afraid that the evil soul jade would be revealed and discovered by the court. At this time, he He will think of ways to kill people with a borrowed knife."
Zhou Li's words were directly spoken to the Dead Man's Sword, which made his heart tremble, and then he reacted. He raised his head, looked at Zhou Li, gritted his teeth and asked:
"A borrowed knife kills someone. Do you want to borrow my knife to kill you?"
"That's right."
Zhou Li nodded and said calmly: "The evil demon killed an ordinary Ling Qi master in Beiliang. It happened that the third-grade governor Zhang Suohao passed by Beiliang and ordered his imperial guards to kill the demon. In this way, Zhang Suohao was hidden Regarding the evil soul jade, I killed you again and told the King of Han to explain it and silenced you at the same time."
"Do you think this option is better?"
Zhou Li's words were like a devil's whisper, penetrating into Dead Man's Knife's heart. Suddenly, he seemed to be enlightened and understood everything.
"But, but...this..."
Dead Man's Knife was still a little hesitant. After all, he felt that Zhang Suohao was sincere to him, and Dead Man's Knife was seriously suspicious. Could Zhang Suohao's brains have thought of such a way to get the best of both worlds? Isn't this a bit embarrassing for people?
"Did you only tell Zhang Suohao about your coming to the south of the city?"
Zhou Li didn't force it, but suddenly spoke and talked about other things.
"Uh...that's right."
Nodding, Dead Man Sword said: "The demon puppet given to me by Mrs. Golden Snake is entering the city from the south of the city today. I am waiting here to receive the demon puppet to provide assistance for subsequent matters."
"If I hadn't delayed you, you would have gotten the demon puppet by now, right?"
Looking at the two strange figures looming at the city gate, Zhou Li said, "You should have turned back now, right?"
"That's right."
Calculating the time, if it weren't for Zhou Li, he should have returned to the stronghold to study the demon puppet given by Mrs. Golden Snake. Dead Man's Knife nodded and admitted: "At this time, I should have gone back."
"Then tell me, if our dear Mr. Zhang Suohao comes to the south of the city for no reason now, what is his purpose?"
After hearing Zhou Li's words, Dead Man's Sword was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.
Looking at the Dead Man's Sword in front of him, who was even easier to deceive than Tang Wan, Zhou Li looked calm and said, "Wait, when he comes, you will understand whether what I said is true."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two heard the sound of hurried running. After a while, Zhang Suohao appeared at the other end of the road in a panic, wearing nondescript women's clothes and a white cloth around his waist.
Um? !
When Zhang Suohao saw the figure of the Dead Man's Sword, he was overjoyed at first and felt that he was saved.
Then, he saw Zhou Li next to Dead Man's Knife, slowly putting on Failed Men's hood.
"You are indeed a fucking gang!"
Pointing at Zhou Li and the Dead Man's Knife, Zhang Suohao shouted in horror, then turned around like crazy and started running again.
Damn it, Dead Man's Knife, I knew you weren't a bad person.
Looking at Zhang Suohao's running back, Dead Man's Blade was overwhelmed with anger for a moment, and the remaining left side of his brain began to tremble. For a moment, he didn't even think about why Zhang Suohao was dressed like this and looked panicked. .
Is it important? Just because he would appear in such a place at such a time and say such words, it explains everything!
Damn it, I can’t stand it anymore, fuck him to death!
Before the dead man could raise his knife to strike, Zhou Li on the side pressed down his hand and said seriously:
"Don't worry."
"not the right time yet."
"Mr. Zhou, this man is double-dealing and extremely shameless. If you let him go like this again, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster and endanger Madam's plans!"
Dead Man's Sword was so excited that he wished he could kill Zhang Suohao right now.
"He has a hundred imperial troops under his command, and he is also an official of the imperial court. After his death, there will be an early warning from the observatory in the capital. If you kill him now, won't you be afraid that your wife's plan to ascend to immortality will be discovered?"
Zhou Li's words directly calmed down the Dead Man's Blade. He thought about it and found that this seemed to be the truth. He frowned, clicked his tongue and said:
"This kid is lucky to have a dog's life."
"Master Zhou, when will we take action?"
Dead Man's Sword looked at Zhou Li and said loyally: "You give the instructions, and I'll take action!"
"Soon, soon..."
Listening to Bi Diao's classic "What's better than what's better", Zhou Li smiled meaningfully.
It's not time to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
My knife-chan.
