Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1032 Dragon Slayer Sword
Chapter 1030: Dragon Slaying Knife
Luoyang, Qinhou Mansion, inside Qin Hao's study.

"Is this the Dragon Slaying Knife?"

Qin Hao carefully played with the precious sword in his hand, then smiled and said to the beautiful woman in front of him, "Xiu Ning, you are not trying to deceive me with a fake one, are you?"

Seeing that Qin Hao actually questioned himself, Li Xiuning's eyes flashed with anger, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph, the truth can't be fake, the fake can't be true, you can go and test it casually!"

Qin Hao looked at Xiu Ning playfully, and smiled after a few seconds: "Just kidding, I know it's true."

Seeing this, Li Xiuning felt powerless for a while, this feeling of wanting to get angry but unable to do so, really aggrieved!

At the beginning, Dong Zhuo sent Li Xiuning as an envoy to Luoyang to negotiate with Qin Hao, negotiating to exchange the remaining three counties of Sizhou for Li Shimin, but the negotiations broke down because both Qin and Liang armies increased their troops, but Li Xiuning, as an envoy, did not leave.

Since her brother Li Shimin was captured alive, Li Xiuning has been trying to rescue him, but because she doesn't know where Li Shimin is being held, and the power she controls is not strong enough, it is impossible to force the rescue. It is possible to save people only by negotiating.

Li Xiuning tried to contact the Taoist school, hoping to get the support of the Taoist school, and use the power of the Taoist school to exert pressure on Qin Hao, but because of the death of Guang Chengzi, the relationship between the Taoist school and Baijia became more and more tense, and there was no time to help Li Xiuning at all. .

Since the birth of the first great master, there has never been a precedent of death in battle, but now the two great masters of Taoism, Zhang Daoling and Guang Chengzi, have died. Dugu Yuyun, the head of Shushan, also disappeared after the fall of Luoyang. I don't know if it's life or death.

Every great master is precious, not to mention the loss of three Taoists in a row, and this naturally made the top Taoists very frightened and angry.

Now the relationship between the hundred schools is extremely tense, and a life-and-death battle may break out at any time, so the Taoist school naturally has no spare power to save Li Shimin.

Li Xiuning had a rough time at the Taoist school, but she didn't give up. Instead, she found her second grandfather, Daoist Taiqing.

But the unfathomable second grandfather just said "I know" in a flattering way, and then stopped talking to Li Xiuning, which also made her seriously doubt whether the Taoists had given up on their second brother.

Just when Li Xiuning had nothing to do with the rescue, she learned that Dong Zhuo had decided to exchange the land of the three counties for her elder brother, which also moved Li Xiuning for a while.

After that, Li Xiuning went to Luoyang alone to negotiate with Qin Hao, but in the end it failed due to various reasons, which also made Li Xiuning feel extremely disappointed.

Without the land of the three counties as a bargaining chip, the only thing in Li Xiuning's hands that could make Qin Hao's heart flutter is probably the Dragon Slaying Sword, one of the keys to the Tiangong's treasure.

Li Xiuning knew that the second brother also attached great importance to the Treasure of Heaven, but Luoyang had been completely occupied by Qin Hao, and the second brother had no chance to get the Treasure of Heaven, so it was better to exchange the key for his life.

The huge wealth contained in the Tiangong Treasure is even more valuable than the three counties of Sizhou. No prince in the world would want to have it.

But Li Xiuning only had one key in her hand, and she still didn't know where the treasure was, so she wasn't sure if the value of one key could be used to exchange for her second brother.

But this is Li Xiuning's last hope, so no matter whether she succeeds or not, she must try.

What Li Xiuning didn't know was that due to the unequal information, she had already missed the best chance to rescue Li Shimin.

Before the allied forces of the princes retreated, if Li Xiuning knew the location of the treasure, she might be able to use this matter to intimidate and lure her. Maybe she could force Qin Hao to let Li Shimin go.

Although Li Xiuning put his hope of getting Li Shimin back on the treasure key, he would not foolishly take the key to Qin Hao for a replacement.

After a series of negotiations, Li Xiuning found that although Qin Hao was very interested in keys, he felt that a key was not enough to exchange for Li Shimin, so she resolutely rejected her exchange of keys.

Qin Hao wanted to get two keys at once, but Li Xiuning really only had one in his hand. Li Xiuning could only try to snatch the second key after persuading him to no avail.

The dragon-slaying knife in Li Xiuning's hand was obtained from Ji Wuming, the god of robbers, and Ji Wuming was good friends with the robber saint Bai Zhantang, and the two often committed crimes together.

Therefore, Li Xiuning judged that there was a great possibility that the Yitian Sword was in the hands of Bai Zhantang, so he mobilized the power of all bad people to hunt down the robber Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang's strength is not very strong, but his ability to escape and counter-reconnaissance is the best in the world. The clues that the unscrupulous people chased were quickly cut off, and no trace of Bai Zhantang could be found.

Li Xiuning's plan to hunt down Bai Zhantang came to an impasse again, but he couldn't find Bai Zhantang, couldn't get back the Yitian Sword, and couldn't get back his second brother Li Shimin, which also made Li Xiuning feel a little desperate.

Time flies, and during Li Xiuning's pursuit of Bai Zhantang, a series of major events occurred, such as Dong Zhuo's death, the retreat of the Liang army, and the southward march of the Confederate Army.

Li Xiuning was in charge of bad people and some Liangwei, so he was able to get the news of Dong Zhuo's death immediately. When he learned that Yang Jian had unified the Liang army and returned to Guanzhong, Li Xiuning's first thought was that Yang Jian wanted to seize power.

After Yang Jian unified the Sizhou Liang Army, the strength under his control has undoubtedly surpassed that of the Li family, and if he returns to Guanzhong at this time, it will be difficult to compete with Yang Jian with the power in the hands of his father Li Yuan.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuning became more and more impatient to rescue Li Shimin. After all, Li Shimin is not only Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but also Dong Zhuo's appointed successor. Once he returns, he will definitely have the support of all the generals of the Liang family. The Yang family who will surpass Yang Jian again.

But at this moment, Qin Hao came to tell Li Xiuning that since the Qin army could only obtain Sizhou through war, it would be useless to keep Li Shimin, so he decided to execute Li Shimin.

Qin Hao's words frightened Li Xiuning. Now she is not thinking about saving Li Shimin, but how to keep Qin Hao from killing her second brother and temporarily save her second brother's life.

Li Xiuning had no choice but to reach an agreement with Qin Hao. She begged Qin Hao not to kill Li Shimin on the condition that she offered the Dragon Slaying Sword. After she found and offered the Yitian Sword, Qin Hao released Li Shimin.

Li Xiuning knows that this agreement has no binding force on Qin Hao at all. If Qin Hao doesn't want to abide by it, she has nothing to do. But now she can only trust Qin Hao's credit and character, so she finally handed over the dragon sword .
