Breaking through is actually a very difficult thing.
For example, Yi Ming has stayed in the Transformation Realm for more than ten years. If it weren't for some opportunities this time, he might not be able to take a step forward in his life.
What's more, after entering the martial arts realm, every time you want to take a step forward, it is actually as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But Gu Xiaotian is indeed an exception.
From martial arts idiot to martial saint, it only takes a few months.
If it was transmitted at such a speed, it would probably shock everyone's jaws.
Gu Xiaotian stretched his muscles and laughed unconsciously.
Every step forward now means getting closer and closer to your goal.
The night was rushing, Gu Xiaotian did not stop, but continued on his way.
After walking for a few more days, we finally arrived at the border of Northern Wilderness.
The scenery of Beihuang is still the same, nothing has changed, but after entering the border of Beihuang, there are more checkpoints along the way.
After the Xu family took over Beihuang, they made many changes together with Mobeicheng General Qiu Feng. The purpose was naturally to stabilize Beihuang. Of course, there was also a hint of killing chickens to scare monkeys.
After all, Mobei City had always been led by the Xing family. Although many rules were not stated openly, everyone still recognized that set of rules in private. If the Xu family wanted to establish its authority and truly gain a foothold in Mobei City, it was natural for them to do so. Come up with something.
At the checkpoint, several soldiers stopped Gu Xiaotian. Gu Xiaotian got out of the car silently. After explaining his purpose, he felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he took out the badge of the Tiandi Alliance. Several soldiers had seen the badge. Finally, he just nodded symbolically and still searched every corner of the carriage.
After a set of procedures were completed and a short time passed, the soldiers were released.
Gu Xiaotian didn't feel disgusted by this, but was extremely pleased.
Be disciplined and don't do anything special.
There were several more levels after that, and every time Gu Xiaotian took out the World and Earth Alliance badge, the soldiers had no reaction and continued to follow the procedures.
By the time we entered Mobei City, it was almost dusk.
…
…
Gu Xiaotian came all the way to the door of the Xu family's residence and knocked on the door gently.
The butler opened the door and said in surprise: "Young Master Gu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in quickly!"
After being taken all the way to the main room by the housekeeper, Xu Ran greeted Gu Xiaotian with a smile.
Xu Ji stood aside and suddenly asked in surprise: "Are you a martial arts saint?!"
Gu Xiaotian smiled and nodded, these things cannot be hidden from Xu Ji.
Today, Xu Ji has also entered the ranks of martial arts idiots early, which makes Gu Xiaotian quite surprised and even a little jealous.
He, as a martial arts saint, is actually a bit unworthy of his reputation. If he hadn't been lucky and encountered so many opportunities, he might still be a martial arts idiot.
Since Xu Ji returned to Kyoto, he has been staying in the Northern Wilderness. There must not be many opportunities. Despite this, he can still break through to Wu Chi, which shows his talent.
Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh.
Comparing people to each other is really infuriating.
Xu Ran said: "I knew you would come to Beihuang, so I have been waiting for you. I didn't expect to wait for so long."
Gu Xiaotian smiled and explained: "I met some interesting people on the road, participated in some interesting things, and was delayed for a while."
Xu Ran didn't mind either, but said happily: "Looking at it now, the wait is not in vain. At least you have become a Martial Saint, which gives us a better chance of winning."
Odds?
Gu Xiaotian didn't know what Xu Ran meant by the chance of winning.
He knew that Beihuang would not be too easy this time, but listening to Xu Ran's words, it was obvious that he had encountered some serious trouble.
However, Xu Ran did not continue, but instead gave up.
During the dinner that followed, Xu Ran only mentioned some things that had happened in Beihuang recently and what the Xu family had done.
Hearing this, Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh, Xu Ran is worthy of being the head of the family, his mind is really good, and he does have two brushes in his hands.
Xu Ji was sitting quietly aside, but suddenly said: "I'm afraid it's not as easy as you think to go north this time."
Xu Ran's eyes widened, and Xu Ji realized that he was talking too much, lowered his head and continued to eat.
Gu Xiaotian was confused.
Usually, Xu Ji is not someone who takes the initiative to find topics.
If even Xu Ji takes the initiative to talk about this topic, then this matter is obviously a big deal.
Gu Xiaotian followed Xu Ji's words and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Xu Ran waved his hand, "Gu Xiaotian, this matter has not been finalized yet. We don't know what it is like. The reason why we don't tell you is..."
Xu Ran was stuck and did not continue.
Yes, she has a selfish motive in it.
She liked Gu Xiaotian, even if she didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could still see it.
Not long ago, the moment Gu Qingfeng came to Beihuang, she had some guesses in her mind.
It was unclear what could bring the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance to visit in person.
Now Gu Xiaotian has reached the Martial Saint. Xu Ran was a little happy at first, thinking that things finally had a better chance of winning. But after calming down, she thought carefully, is just the Martial Saint enough?
She wanted to buy more time for Gu Xiaotian, so she didn't plan to tell Gu Xiaotian this time.
Gu Xiaotian's expression changed, he stared at Xu Ran and asked, "Is Gu Qingfeng here?"
Xu Ran opened his mouth but said nothing.
Looking at Xu Ran's look, Gu Xiaotian was sure that it must be the case.
Before, when Gu Qingfeng asked him to go north, he speculated whether Gu Qingfeng had already arrived in Beihuang. Now it seems that this guess has been confirmed.
"Xu Ran, I went north this time just to deal with some things."
Gu Xiaotian said slowly: "I know what you mean. You are just worried that I will die because of this. But along the way, I have experienced too many life and death matters. Every time I can stand here well, it is enough." Explains everything.”
Xu Ran remained silent.
Gu Xiaotian's fallacy is indeed true.
Every time he struggled on the line of life and death, and sometimes one foot was already stuck in hell, but he could always break free.
"Moreover, I actually came to Beihuang. With my senior brother's brain, I will probably visit you soon."
Gu Xiaotian turned to look at the door, and a familiar breath slowly floated over.
A sword light fell, and Gu Qingfeng came to the door.
If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.
Opening the door, Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Xiaotian, laughed and said: "You kid actually ran to participate in some kind of traveling party. How about it? Are those awesome guys a little bit beyond your expectations?"
Gu Xiaotian stood up to greet them and said: "There are some. I originally thought that those Taoist priests would be more noble, but now I see that they are no different from ordinary people."
Gu Qingfeng sat down naturally, took a chopstick of food, and after devouring it, he said: "A Taoist priest is no longer a human being? Do you really think you are an immortal when you become a Taoist priest? He keeps talking about morality, but in the end, he still looks like a common man. , fake innocence.”
Gu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's just that most of them are like this, and some of them are not."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand and said: "In my eyes, they are all the same. They all live in the world, but they always think about heaven. Sometimes I really want to send them away with a sword and ask them if heaven is good."
Gu Xiaotian smiled slightly.
Xu Ran, who was on the side, looked nervous.
She originally wanted to make some excuses tonight and visit Gu Qingfeng tomorrow so that Gu Qingfeng could give Gu Xiaotian more time, but she didn't expect that Gu Qingfeng came uninvited.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Xu Ran and guessed what she was thinking at a glance. He wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, even if I don't come, this kid will come to me tomorrow. We have to meet anyway, why wait until tomorrow."
Xu Ran's face turned slightly red.
Gu Xiaotian frowned, why are you blushing?
However, he did not ask in detail, but looked at Gu Qingfeng and asked: "Brother, the letter asked me to go north quickly. Is something big going to happen?"
The topic finally got back on track.
Gu Qingfeng put down his chopsticks, his expression was not very relaxed, and said: "Something big is going to happen indeed. Otherwise, I really want to give you a little more time. With your ability, it will only take a few years at most to break through to Martial Lord. By then, My chances of winning will be better.”
"It's just that now it seems that we can't delay it much longer. I can only ask you to go north quickly and make further plans."
Gu Xiaotian sat up straight.
Something that can make Gu Qingfeng feel difficult must be a big deal.
Gu Qingfeng did not rush to continue speaking, but looked at Xu Ran and Xu Ji, and said softly: "Every word I say after that is top priority. If the Xu family has thought about it, they can continue to listen. If not, If you think about it, you can leave."
He did not force the Xu family to stay and listen, but let the Xu family make their own choice.
Seeing that Xu Ran did not express his position, Gu Qingfeng added: "If it succeeds, the Xu family will not get any benefits. It will probably only maintain the status quo. If it fails, the Xu family will be destroyed."
This is an extremely bad deal.
It’s done. The Xu family won’t get anything except being more famous. But for the Xu family, Beihuang has already been captured. They are not as ambitious as Xi Shu. They want to become a king with a different surname and maintain their reputation. The current situation couldn't be better for them.
But if they lose, the position that the Xu family finally occupied will be destroyed.
Xu Ji stood up and clasped his fists and said, "This matter has nothing to do with the Xu family, but Xu Ji is willing to do his best for the Heaven and Earth Alliance."
Gu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction.
He already had high praise for Xu Ji, but he was not very good at talking and was a bit off-kilter.
In fact, during the time he came to Beihuang, Gu Qingfeng expressed his hope that Xu Ji could join the Heaven and Earth Alliance more than once.
If Xu Ji joins the Heaven and Earth Alliance, then he will only represent the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and the Xu family behind him can still sit back and relax.
In this way, Gu Qingfeng won't have any worries, and he doesn't care whether the Xu family is willing to join.
From beginning to end, he never wanted these aristocratic families to be involved in this incident.
Because if this incident really happened, even Gu Qingfeng himself wouldn't be able to guess the outcome.
There are too many variables.
"The Xu family is willing to assist the Heaven and Earth Alliance."
Xu Ran raised his head, seemingly hesitant, but still said: "But there is one condition."
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter."
Xu Ran looked at Gu Xiaotian, with a trace of worry in his eyes, and said softly: "No matter what, I hope that the Heaven and Earth Alliance can save Gu Xiaotian in the end."
Some people died, but not completely...
