Xu Qian said he was going to find Qin Zhao, but he did not take any action. Instead, he took Qianshu around the Tang Dynasty, bought a lot of things, and tasted many delicacies, just like a pair of tourists.
Qian Shu didn't ask. She had experienced some things with Xu Qian and knew that he was a very thoughtful person. There was no need to worry about his own affairs.
After dinner, the two returned to the hotel and went back to their respective rooms to rest.
Staying alone in the room, Xu Qian remembered the first time he stayed in this hotel, when Vivian assassinated him and he almost died.
Thinking of Vivian, Xu Qian felt a little uncomfortable. Although Vivian has been deceiving him and lurking beside him as a double agent, the actual purpose is to kill him. But he just couldn't hate this woman. He tried but couldn't.
In the final analysis, Tang Emperor Li Chenghan was the culprit.
Xu Qian believed Mr. Ye's judgment that Emperor Tang wanted to kill him. The reaction on the phone was somewhat disguised.
There is no doubt that Emperor Tang had sent "ghost shadows" to assassinate him many times, but he never understood Emperor Tang's motives. After learning Li Yuanxi's identity, he suspected that it was because of Li Yuanxi, because by taking him in, he was blocking Li Chenghan's way of seizing her body. But the chief's reminder made Xu Qian feel that things were not that simple.
Emperor Tang, a terrifying opponent!
Xu Qian felt tremendous pressure. Suddenly, he remembered the secret scroll of mountains and rivers. Xiong Er said that he would save his life. If he could really do it, wouldn't he have the confidence to face Emperor Tang?
I remembered that I hadn’t entered the Mountain and Water Secret Volume for a long time. The last time I saw them in the Ancient World Mountain was just the shadows of Xiong Er and Lao Hei, and at that time, I was mainly thinking about how to leave, and I had no intention of arguing with them.
With a thought, Xu Qian appeared on the familiar hillside.
"Old Hei——Xiong Er——"
After calling out, Lao Hei walked out slowly. However, this appearance made Xu Qian quite angry.
Usually Lao Hei walks out with four paws on the ground normally. This time, it walks upright like a human. Why is there such a change? Because it is grabbing a bag of potato chips with its forelimbs and devouring it.
"Aren't these the potato chips I just bought?" Xu Qian recognized them at a glance. They were Datang's potato chips that he and Qianshu had just bought in a supermarket in the imperial capital. It had only been a while since they had been put in, and he hadn't eaten them yet. I was fucked by this nasty big black dog.
"I want to see Xiong Er!" Xu Qian gritted his teeth to hold back his anger.
"Come with me!" Lao Hei's mind was entirely on potato chips and he didn't want to talk to Xu Qian at all.
Entering the cave, I met Xiong Er.
Xiong Er wasn't eating potato chips, but this guy was actually drinking the juice drink he just bought!
It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!
Xu Qian got angry, pointed at Xiong Er and Lao Hei and cursed: "You two foodies know how to steal my food! You told me to save my life, I almost died hundreds of times, which time did you Have you ever taken action?"
Lao Hei looked surprised. He didn't expect Xu Qian to be so brave. It's not like he had never been beaten by them before. Is his skin itchy today?
Xiong Er slowly put down the drink bottle. The movement was very slow, but it gave people a great sense of oppression.
Xu Qian paused, swallowed, and said he was not afraid that he was deceiving himself.
"Words don't count. Are you going to take action if you are exposed? Where is your credibility?" Xu Qian was also willing to risk his words. He was too stubborn to talk.
However, this trick seemed to be quite effective. Xiong Er did not take any further action but said, "Tell me, when did we break our word?"
"That time at the Special Branch Bureau, my heart was broken. If it weren't for the Dragon Blood Bull Cross, the grass on my grave would be two meters high now. Also, the time I was chased by Yan Ke, my arms were chopped off. When I came down, you refused to save me. In the end, it was Han Song who saved me. This time, I was hit by the innate magical power of the orc Hawk, and you didn't care..."
Xiong Er said calmly: "Are you dead?"
Xu Qian was speechless. How can you still act like a fool here if you are really dead?
Lao Hei added a last-ditch attack, "We have already said that we will take action only when death is inevitable. The few times you mentioned it are not considered fatal situations."
Xu Qian was speechless, "Are you playing the Schrödinger game? I received a knife or a punch, but I don't know if I will die. Only if I am really dead can I be sure that I am dead. Otherwise, I am not dead." As long as the attack doesn't fall on me, I am the cat that is both dead and alive, right? You don't need to take action. Is that right?"
Xiong Er and Lao Hei were stunned by Xu Qian's words and turned to stone on the spot.
"This is a good plan. As long as I survive, you can say that it's not worth taking action, because it's not a fatal situation. If I really die, you don't need to say anything to me. Anyway, I can't find you again. Theory. No matter what, you don’t need to do anything and you are already invincible.”
The reason why Xu Qian came to mess with them now was to see if they could really help him when he faced Emperor Tang.
"What on earth do you want to do?" Both Xiong Er and Lao Hei could tell that Xu Qian's intention was not drinking.
Xu Qian chuckled and said, "I think it would be more practical for you to give me some treasure. I am about to enter the palace to save people, but the Tang Emperor is very weird. If he is not careful, he will never return."
Xiong Er's dull voice sounded in the cave, "There is nothing else. If you really want to learn something, I can only teach you a secret technique."
Secret skill? Of course Xu Qian doesn't pick, it's better than nothing.
Xiong Er picked up the three stones next to him and threw them away. A magical scene appeared. The three stones came to life. They transformed into Xiong Er and jumped in three different directions.
Xu Qian's eyes almost popped out. Is this a secret technique? It's a magic trick, right? It can make stones alive and turn them into Xiong Er's appearance. If this isn't a fairy trick, what is it? The most incredible thing is that at that moment, Xu Qian couldn't tell that these three Xiong Er were fake.
"What... is this called?" Xu Qian looked at Xiong Er blankly. In his eyes, Xiong Er was the immortal with boundless power.
"Throwing beans makes an army."
Spread the beans and become an army? Is there really such a legendary magic?
"Do you want to learn?"
"You have to learn! You have to learn!" Xu Qian's head looked like he was knocking a wooden fish. He would definitely be a fool if he didn't learn anything.
After leaving the secret volume of mountains and rivers, Xu Qian felt like he had been cheated. I promised Xiong Er that he would provide a lot of snacks and drinks in exchange for the secret technique, but it turned out to be so useless.
The so-called so-called spreading of beans into soldiers is simply not the case. To put it bluntly, it is just injecting spiritual energy into an object, making the object look alive for a short period of time, and then transforming it into a familiar image. The method of controlling objects is not complicated and can be done by high-level immortal cultivators. The saving grace of this secret technique is that it can control a large number of objects at the same time, perform different actions, and can transform into incarnations that are difficult to identify. But the most useless thing is that these incarnations have no combat effectiveness at all, are useless, and are effective for a very short time, lasting only a few seconds.
"Isn't this an upgraded version of 'Starfall'? 'Starfall' can make items appear somewhere within a certain range and control multiple items. The difference is that 'Starfall' requires continuous control, and 'Starfall' requires continuous control. 'Chengbing' is a one-time command control, 'Xingluo' has no transformation function, and 'Spreading Beans into a Soldier' can transform into an avatar." Xu Qian said unhappily: "But what's the use?"
Little did he know that as immortal pets, Lao Hei and Xiong Er were taught by their owners only some tricks for entertainment purposes. It was just like training a dog to fly and bite a Frisbee. It was a unique skill, but for those who watched it, Home nursing homes are not helpful at all.
"What happened outside?" Xu Qian's spiritual consciousness came out of the mountains and rivers, and he felt that something was not right about the atmosphere outside the hotel.
Outside the Jinshan Hotel, several luxury cars parked on the roadside, causing a commotion among passers-by.
The concept of hierarchy in the Tang Dynasty is still relatively strong. After all, it is an empire. Even the lanes are reserved for official cars, and the license plates are also different.
The license plates of these cars are very unusual. Anyone with some common sense in the Tang Dynasty knows that these cars belong to the families of officials above the deputy level in the three provinces and one hospital. Cars with this license plate can be driven sideways in almost the entire Tang Dynasty.
The person who got off the car was none other than Qin Zhao, the chief minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"It's finally here. This speed is really a bit slow."
The corner of Xu Qian's mouth raised slightly. He used his academy card in this hotel. As long as Qin Zhao wanted to let people in the academy pay attention, he would be able to know his whereabouts immediately.
Qin Zhao did not use any monk's methods, but took the elevator to Xu Qian's floor like an ordinary person. There were guards all the way to lead the way, and they were full of style, unlike Qin Zhao's past style.
"Have you become more particular after winning the battle?" Xu Qian's face was relaxed, but he also realized in his heart that it might be difficult to be as casual as before when he saw Qin Zhao this time.
