When Ji Xiu asked this, Bai Hao knew that this old guy was going to get down to business.
The aroma of monkey wine overflowed from the celadon cup. Ji Xiu dipped a little on the tip of his tongue with his finger, narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, and sighed softly: "Few people know how I got the name of this alcoholic swordsman. "
Bai Hao laughed loudly: "It seems that I should no longer be among these few people. I heard that Mr. Ji was wild and wild when drawing his sword, but he was restrained and calm when tasting wine."
Ji Xiu nodded: "Since the city lord treats me with fine wine, I will naturally treat the city lord with wine."
Bai Hao leaned back on his chair, with flat shoulders and an upright posture. He kept the smile on his face and said, "It's okay to speak out if Mr. Ji has anything to say. There are naturally many guards outside my house, but no one dares to Eavesdropped on half of our words."
Before being introduced to this house, Ji Xiu walked all the way through the City Lord's Mansion. He had already discovered that the guards in the City Lord's Mansion were now tightly guarded, and the atmosphere in the silent area was full of solemnity that wanted to kill all accidents.
"The city lord must think that I am using my old illness to refuse? Do you want to go through a formality?" Ji Xiu is a peak swordsman in the early stage of the extraordinary level. At this time, Bai Hao looked at Bai Hao with a smile, and his sharp intention was finally revealed. come out.
Bai Hao lowered his gaze, looked at the peerless sword on Ji Xiu's knee, and smiled slightly: "Isn't it true? Does Mr. Ji know what kind of enemies we will face? Or does His Majesty have a backup plan?"
Ji Xiu's gray hair on his temples swayed slightly, then quickly fell down. Bai Hao supported his chin with his hand, his eyes still falling on the sword on Ji Xiu's lap.
Bai Hao is not afraid of his actions.
Ji Xiu sighed at the vicissitudes of life, with a look of defeat on his face: "Some time ago, I met a master from a big cultivation family, and it was after that time that the old disease recurred."
He looked at the wine in the glass and said: "The emperor doesn't know about this, but since I have come to Suzaku City, I don't want to have any quarrel with you, the city lord. Can you see the old man's sincerity now?"
Attack? Is it in Jinguan City?
Bai Hao ignored the question, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Suzaku City is not Jinguan City, which is deep in the hinterland of the imperial dynasty. There will be more masters encountered."
"My city lord's palace has had many dealings with forces of all sizes in Tiannan. Those who can survive in such a primitive land and develop into a force are all jackals and hyenas."
"If Your Majesty really wants to conquer this vast primitive land, you have to use more trump cards to support Suzaku City. You must have known that Murong Xing's attack was unlucky. I don't want to start a prairie fire and be burned by the fire instead. Lost the base camp.”
Ji Xiu smiled bitterly. Since he had been ordered to Suzaku City by the emperor, he had learned a lot of inside information.
Over the years, Suzaku City has collected a lot of information about Hidden Valley through Quan Mansion, and Murong Xing is a natural traitor. This time Tian Shou and the City Lord's Mansion took action, in the minds of most people involved, it should be foolproof.
Encroaching step by step, slowly plotting, just like thunder flashing and rain falling on the earth, everything should be done to achieve the goal.
"I didn't expect that a late-stage Transcendent level master like Bai Hu would appear directly on the battlefield. However, the City Lord's Mansion doesn't have to worry too much. Masters above the spiritual realm should abide by the rules of not taking action in the secular dynasty."
Ji Xiu thought of the people from the Tantai family he had met some time ago, and the black-robed master who was vaguely from a large cultivation family.
"Ha—that Taishi Covenant that Mr. Ji was talking about?"
Bai Hao couldn't stop laughing in his heart. Only incompetent people would put their expectations on others to abide by the rules in troubled times. "Maybe the master you met before, Mr. Ji, finally abided by these rules, and we have a chance to meet today." . But don’t you know that they will abide by these ancient rules because these rules themselves were made by the ancestors of their family, and maybe the people who made them are not dead yet.”
"Let's take a look at Hidden Valley." Bai Hao continued: "Although Hidden Valley has been hiding its background these years, if you think about it from a higher level, even if it still has masters who are at the extraordinary level. But this little background Compared with the cultivation family whose thousand-year heritage has never been cut off, what does it mean?"
"Those masters of the cultivation family do not take action against the people of the secular dynasty. In addition to being influenced by the family inheritance, I am afraid they regard us people as ants from the bottom of their bones and disdain to take action."
Ji Lao was silent and couldn't find a good reason for the rebuttal.
He had lived for such a long time and had no shortage of experience. Later, he sighed softly and agreed: "You are right. There is something wrong with my mentality. Now we and Hidden Valley have become enemies. If at this time To still put hope in this aspect is to dig your own grave.”
"Ji Laoyan is serious." Bai Hao's voice slowed down slightly, his back left the back of the chair, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes as he said: "Even if Bai Hu is not the strongest person in Hidden Valley, he is still among the top ones, so I I don’t think he will come to Suzaku City this time.”
Hearing Bai Hao say this, Ji Xiu began to be confused. He raised his head and asked, "City Lord, your letter to the emperor is a little too serious. You actually know that the City Lord's Mansion will not be in danger of destruction."
"The White Tiger will not come, and the Hidden Kill Five will not come, but it does not mean that others will not come." Bai Hao said with a bitter smile: "I just said that Hidden Valley is not deep, what kind of existence are you comparing it to? .The reality is that our City Lord’s Mansion, no, even the top masters of the Mugung Dynasty are actually not as many as the masters of the cultivation forces in Tian’an.”
Hearing this, Ji Xiu's eyes flashed with thought, his fingertips tapped the rim of the cup rhythmically, and he suddenly asked: "Who is the city lord afraid of?"
Ji Xiu saw that Bai Hu fell silent after hearing this, and said sincerely: "I treated the city lord with wine today, and told you the city lord everything that even the emperor did not know. Can't the city lord also tell you honestly?"
Bai Hao had an indescribable sense of crisis. This sense of crisis was enveloped by the domineering aura he had accumulated over many years, and it turned into a dangerous aura that wanted to destroy something.
Ji Xiu was an old man, and when Bai Hao found out that the emperor had only sent him to Suzaku City, his bad mood was no longer concealed in some of his words.
When one has reached his age in cultivation and knows that there is no hope of everlasting life, there is no one who is not afraid of death. As the saying goes, those who eat people with short mouths will have short hands. Ji Xiu has received a lot of benefits from the emperor over the years. Now that he has stepped into Suzaku City, a place where the storms gather, he naturally wants to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Bai Hao, the local emperor. .
To avoid being treated as a discardable chess piece by Bai Hao when the time comes, this is something Ji Xiu will never allow.
"Mr. Ji asked a good question." Bai Hao calmly added a glass of wine to himself. After drinking it, he smelled of alcohol and said, "Who am I afraid of? Of course I am afraid of the person who can kill me. !”
Ji Xiuhua raised his white eyebrows and said in disbelief: "As I walked along, I could feel that even if I tried to force my way into your city lord's mansion, I might not be able to escape. Since the city lord has an elite soldier hidden underground, why should he be afraid? He hides like a tiger in the valley?"
Bai Hao was not surprised that Ji Xiu was able to discover the anomaly underground. As early as when Hou Yiyong led the 800 elite soldiers into the city lord's palace, he had asked him several times whether they needed to disperse and hide their aura.
But he refused and ordered this elite army to be in a state of formation at all times.
After the military formation was formed, even if they tried hard to contain their aura, it was difficult to hide the awe-inspiring aura emanating from the ground. What's more, Bai Hao also asked these elite soldiers not only not to restrain their formation momentum, but also to deliberately exude the iron-blooded spirit in themselves. At this time, the will of these elite soldiers and the momentum of the formation complement each other, and when integrated, they are like the eve of a storm on a summer night, with the solemn force of killing everything.
Bai Hao didn't want to wait passively, let alone place the battlefield in the city lord's mansion.
Take the initiative to do what he wants!
So he deliberately showed a helpless smile and said: "Mr. Ji didn't know something. Not long after I sent this letter to His Majesty, the other party's revenge came."
Ji Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Hao, "I see that the city lord's aura is flowing smoothly, it doesn't look like he was injured."
Bai Hao stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, opened the window and looked to the east of the city lord's mansion, sighing softly: "Li Qun was seriously injured. I don't know how to tell Bai Rong about this."
Ji Xiu realized who was injured and comforted him: "Suzaku City has always been famous as the capital of medicinal materials. I think this young man's life is safe."
"My life is safe." Bai Hao turned around with sharp eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "But he is no longer humane!"
Ji Xiu raised the corner of his mouth. Mortal desires are detrimental to spiritual practice. He stopped trying superficial things many years ago. He held it in for a long time and then said: "There is still a recipe for rebirth of a broken limb in this world." , it’s not like the young people don’t have a chance.”
"Mr. Ji should know that I have put all my energy into running Suzaku City for His Majesty's great ambition these years, and have no plans to start a family. Bai Liqun, as Bai Rong's son, is the future leader of my Bai Hao generation. The bloodline continues!”
"They in Hidden Valley are really ruthless in their attacks." Ji Xiu sighed, clapped the scabbard on his hand, and vaguely guessed Bai Hao's purpose, and said in a deep voice: "Who is the one who hurt people?"
Bai Hao turned his back to Ji Xiu and raised the corner of his mouth: "In the past few days, my intelligence organization has turned the old Qingxi courtyard upside down where the accident happened, and it has also determined who is responsible."
Bai Hao doesn't know yet, but this is actually a clue that Wang Yeqing left behind on his own initiative because he didn't want the old courtyard to suffer undue disaster...
"Those who hurt others are green with bamboo leaves."
As soon as Bai Hao finished speaking, Ji Xiu searched for the memory of Zhu Yeqing in his mind. He relaxed slightly and asked, "Is it the Hidden Valley Tianbang assassin Zhu Yeqing? This is indeed a troublesome person."
"No, Mr. Ji doesn't know something." Bai Hao turned around and said solemnly: "It has been confirmed that this bamboo leaf green has broken through to the first level!"
Ji Xiu narrowed his eyes and felt Bai Hao's gaze falling directly on him. He patted the sword on his knee and chuckled: "That's okay."
"But please, the city lord, please stop hiding it. If you know how many bamboo leaves are there, let me know."
