That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 461 Going to the God City to See the County King

In the dim twilight, Xu Beiyou finally approached this divine capital for the second time, where one hundred and five emperors had their capitals.

The gods are still as majestic as before, but there are traces of vicissitudes everywhere, just like an elderly man, no matter how old and strong he is, he will eventually be no match for the ruthless time and time like a knife, and the hero is old.

Although Xu Beiyou changed into clean clothes in advance, his white hair was still very eye-catching, so he didn't walk through the city gate according to the normal rules, but flew high and low directly into the city.

Before leaving, he had done some homework on the people he was going to meet on this trip, and had a general understanding of everyone.

Xiao Quji himself was not very outstanding, his father also died young and did not make much achievements, but his grandfather Xiao Gongyu was very famous.

Xiao Gongyu is the cousin of Emperor Wuzu Xiao Lie and the cousin of Taizu Emperor Xiao Yu. He followed Emperor Wuzu in rebellion in the early years and took charge of the military and horse power in the eastern capital. When Xiao Huang entered the pass and went south, Xiao Gongyu forced Zheng Emperor Ai Qin Xian opened the city to meet him, and then followed Xiao Huang to participate in the battle of Dingding. The pillar figure who supported the Xiao clan during the years.

At that time, the Xiao clan could roughly be divided into three factions. Wei Wang Xiao Jin formed his own faction. Although there was only one person, he was the most powerful, and even made the royal family fear three points.Later, the Xiao family was the weakest, but also the most united. It was headed by Xiao Shu, the king of Lingwu County. As for the rest of the Eastern Capital, the Xiao family had the closest relationship with the royal family. Everything was guided by the royal family, with Xiao Gongyu as the mainstay.

When the current emperor succeeded to the throne, the old ministers such as Xiao Gongyu and Xiao Shu passed away one after another, the Xiao family in the eastern capital was scattered, and the Xiao family was built later with Xiao Shu's son Xiao Mohe as the head.

The poor Liangwu County King, who was also in power back then, had become a nameless empty county king when it was handed down to Xiao Quji's generation. He could not even gain a foothold in the center of the imperial capital and had to return to the fiefdom.

After Xu Beiyou entered Luoyang City, he was not in a hurry to go to the county prince's mansion. After all, the capital of the gods was where the secret guard mansion of Yuzhou was located. He didn't dare to say whether Duanmu Ruisheng had any backup here. After really seeing the methods of the Dark Guard Mansion, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter and die under the God-killing Arrow and Huoleizi.

What's more, the governor of Yuzhou's dark guard mansion, Shi Yang Shihe, is by no means easy to deal with. It is said that he is proficient in a secret technique that is close to "talking out the law", which can confuse people's minds. The power of "words" caused a human immortal master with a lack of mood to self-mutilate and die. Although Xu Beiyou was good at heart, he didn't dare to ensure that he could deal with it perfectly.

Xu Beiyou came to an ordinary alley and walked slowly step by step.

……

Liangwu County Prince's Mansion is located in the center of Shendu. Regardless of its size, it is far away from the Wei Palace and Qi Palace, even compared to Lingwu County Palace. One of the ten scenic spots in the capital of God.

Xiao Quji, who had been doing nothing all day, was drowsy in a gazebo in the Queen's Mansion today, bathed in the warm autumn wind in the afternoon.

The old servant who had served three county kings hurried out of the gazebo, waved to the women who were waiting in the gazebo, and signaled them to leave.

After the maids left, the old servant quietly walked into the pavilion and said softly, "Your Highness."

Xiao Quji, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, did not open his eyes, and asked, "Old Wang, what's the matter?"

Old Wang said in a low voice: "The people we put in the Dark Guard's Mansion have heard that the young master of the Sword Sect has left Ruyang Mansion the day before yesterday, if he came directly to Shendu, it should be almost here. "

Xiao Quji opened his eyes suddenly, and said in a complicated tone: "Xu Beiyou, the young master of the Sword Sect!"

Old Wang continued: "There is also news that this Mr. Xu was ambushed and killed by the Dark Guard Mansion in Ruyang Mansion, and the huge Beichan Temple was destroyed. However, Mr. Xu was safe and sound. Later, he chased and killed him all the way. Everyone beheaded."

"Alone?" Xiao Quji's face was serious.

"One person." The old king's face was as heavy as water. As the number one master in the palace, he naturally knew the heavy weight of it. Fifty crossbowmen, thirty tyrants, and a dark guard who should be in the realm of the earth fairy With the masters of the palace and many other factors that are not yet clear, it is by no means a dream to kill an Earth Immortal realm, but even so, it is a disastrous end.

"How many levels does that Mr. Xu have now?" Xiao Quji asked suddenly.

Old Wang sighed helplessly: "It should be about the realm of the Earth Immortal's fourth or fifth floor."

Xiao Quji had a complex expression on his face, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "In just two short years, this Mr. Xu has somehow landed in Jiangdu. Didn't he say that he has to go through thousands of difficulties and dangers if he wants to set foot in the fairyland? It's like a joke when you come to him?"

He asked curiously: "Old Wang, do you know how he climbed the realm?"

The old king shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think it should be the secret method of the Sword Sect. The whole power of the sect was devoted to Xu Beiyou alone, so he was able to achieve the feat of leaping to the twelve realms in two years."

Xiao Quji let out a cry, "Isn't this a big gamble? If Xu Beiyou can live up to his high expectations and become the next Great Sword Immortal, Shangguan Xianchen, it will be a huge profit, but if Xu Beiyou dies halfway, wouldn't it be Lost to nothing?"

Old Wang nodded and said: "It is indeed a gamble, but it is also a helpless move of Jianzong after he was desperate. Since the death of the master of Jianzong, Sun Zhongmou, Jianzong has become a soft persimmon in the eyes of others. Murong Xuanyin , Zhenmodian, Zhang Zhaonu and others are staring at each other. Zhang Xueyao may be alone. The only way out for Jianzong at present is to attach to our court. His Highness's blue eyes are naturally the most suitable candidate, and it is worth Jianzong's betting on him, a big gamble."

After all, Xiao Quji was born in the clan, not a real idiot. He had his own opinions on this after being influenced by his ears since he was a child. He slowly said: "Jianzong's move is right, but it's up to people to make things happen. God, whether we can win this game of chess or not, it depends on their good luck, Lao Wang, if the young master of the Sword Sect comes to the door, do you think we will see or not?"

Old Wang leaned forward slightly, and said softly: "Everything is under His Highness's orders."

Xiao Quji said to himself: "In all fairness, I like Jianzong more than Daomen, and I even hate Taoism a little bit, but in terms of the current situation, Jianzong was clearly slaughtered by others, leaving only a few Remnant, no matter how you look at it, it’s a sure-to-lose situation, unless the opponent makes a foolish move, there is absolutely no reason to win.”

Lao Wang suddenly said: "Nowadays the Daoist sect is in chaos. The three major disciples who teach Daoist people are divided into three factions. They are fighting fiercely for the position of the first disciple, and even put their party struggles above the entire Daoist sect. This is not true. What a good thing."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and sighed: "It's a pity that Du Haichan was treated as an outcast, and the huge Jiangnan Taoist sect was torn apart. If Master Du Ming had a spirit in heaven, he might be pissed to death. "

Xiao Quji's eyes lit up, "In this way, the Taoist sect has really been stunned during this period of time, so we might as well meet this young master of the Sword Sect."
