Zongwu: Your wife and I are really in love with each other.

"What does it mean?"

There were a dozen boxes placed on the ground in front of him.

This place is less than fifty miles away from the Xixia Royal City.

Logically speaking, it only takes half a day at most to return to the Xixia Royal City.

But there was only half a day left, but they couldn't go any further.

"What does it mean?"

Li Qiushui did not get out of her carriage.

But the cold voice made everyone feel numb.

It was obviously noon when the sun was shining brightly.

But at this moment, a deep chill shone on everyone's bodies.

Especially those Mongolians who came to deliver betrothal gifts.

But they still stood motionless.

They also have some confidence. Because the Mongolian cavalry is on the border of Xixia.

Although Xixia's troops are also mobilizing.

But just based on those Xixia cavalry who are all old, weak, sick and disabled in the eyes of the Mongols.

It only takes three days at most for the Mongolian cavalry to divide and eat the Xixia cavalry on the Gobi plain, leaving no one behind and no one left.

This is not how arrogant the Mongolians are.

It is a kind of self-confidence that comes from strength.

This kind of self-confidence is the self-confidence that the Mongolians fought hard on horseback.

It is also the biggest trump card of these envoys.

Of course, they didn't know that their backer, King Ruyang, had no intention of sending 300,000 cavalry into Xixia, because these 300,000 cavalry were used to defend the Manchus.

Parking it at the border is just a deterrent.

Li Qiushui sat in his carriage a little absent-mindedly.

She didn't expect that her youngest son would betray her, which she couldn't accept.

After all, this youngest son has always been submissive since he was sensible.

Li Qiushui did not immediately want to promote him to the position of King of Xixia.

What Li Qiushui likes most is his eldest son. That is, the eldest son who was killed by her own hands. For Li Qiushui, when she seduced the King of Xixia and became the queen of Xixia, it was just to make someone angry.

At that time, it was just a game to her.

It's an ordinary game that you can stop playing at any time.

However, as time goes by.

Li Qiushui gradually found that he was involved and couldn't extricate himself.

Especially when she has completely become Xixia's supporter.

Li Qiushui couldn't get away now even if he wanted to.

Think about the past often.

Li Qiushui would always feel extremely empty, as if no one would remember her throughout his life, and he was just a straw among all the living beings in the world, just a little prickly.

Under the influence of such emotions.

Li Qiushui takes power more and more seriously.

This led to the king's rebellion many years ago.

Li Qiushui personally killed his rebellious king's son.

Just because this king's son actually wanted to merge Xixia into the Qing Dynasty.

This is something Li Qiushui absolutely does not allow.

After all, she doesn't want her beloved toy to become someone else's toy.

What's more important is that if something like this happens, that damn Wu Xingyun mustn't faint from laughter.

"I ask one last time, what does this mean?"

Li Qiushui's words came from the carriage again.

The Xixia minister from the imperial party slowly took a step forward.

He said respectfully, "Queen Mother, please consider the millions of people in Xixia, please."

The words are not finished yet.

This Xixia minister split from the middle.

The body turned into two halves and fell to the ground.

No one saw how he died.

But that's how he was split in two.

In an instant, the entire atmosphere solidified again.

Li Qiushui walked slowly towards the carriage.

She held a long cyan sword in her hand, and the edge of the long sword shone with a dazzling cold light, which was so dazzling that it made people feel creepy, and cold sweat broke out all over her body.

She slowly walked to the wooden boxes.

He reached out and picked up a wooden box.

Golden pieces of gold fell out from inside.

Every gold nugget weighs a lot.

When it fell to the ground, there was a dull impact sound.

It is engraved with complex patterns.

Various weird symbols occupy almost every piece of gold.

Although the gold is of excellent quality, just from the appearance, you can tell that it is definitely not the gold of the Song Dynasty, but the Mongolian gold that can only be used in Mongolia, and the actual color is not as good as it looks.

The Mongols obtained a large amount of gold through their invasion. After recasting the gold, they mixed it with a large amount of silver and tin. This made the gold look bright, but the real gold content was not too high.

After other countries grab this gold, there is no way to put it into the market for use immediately. They must carry out tedious recasting before they can use this gold. Otherwise, they can only use this gold to fight with Mongolia. People trade.

As long as the Mongolians see the gold, they will repurchase it at a very low price, or use the marks on the gold to find out where the gold was lost, so that they can repay injustice and take revenge. Revenge is the most insidious thing about the Mongols. What they want is to prevent everyone from dreaming about Mongolian gold, thereby ensuring the safety of their trade routes.

Looking down at the gold on the ground.

Li Qiushui frowned and looked at the gold on the ground with a strange expression.

Slowly bent down and picked up a piece of gold.

On this piece of gold.

A strange-looking bird stands vividly in the center of the gold. A sneer appeared on Li Qiushui's lips, "Wu Xingyun!"

Li Mochou opened the car curtain so that Wu Gong could see what was happening here.

As if sensing something, Li Qiu Shui looked back and silently shaped the gold in his hand into an irregular object.

Turning to the trembling members of the Xixia Imperial Party, he asked: "You are very well prepared. You actually went all the way to Tianshan to invite that damn guy here. That guy must have made sufficient preparations." Tell me, what exactly does she think?"

Li Qiushui put the long sword into his waist.

This seemingly indestructible sword was actually part of her belt.

The members of the Xixia Imperial Party looked at each other, and a woman slowly walked in from behind them.

This woman was wearing black clothes and had long hair, but her brows and eyes were filled with indescribable heroism.

Seeing the arrival of this woman, Li Qiushui became even more sure that Wu Xingyun had participated in the plot against him.

In the Lingjiu Palace, there are four women in charge of the four main halls.

It's called Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.

And the woman in front of her is Mei, the one with the greatest power and status among Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Ju.

His strength has already made him one of the top masters in the world.

Of course, Li Qiushui's desire to kill her was just a thought. After all, at her level, there was no difference between a first-class master and an ordinary person.

However, at this moment, Li Qiushui was no longer interested in killing her. Instead, he wanted to see what kind of trap his mortal enemy had prepared for him.

Mei knelt straight on the ground, knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and performed a complete set of etiquette before continuing: "Queen Mother, my master said that there are still fifty miles away from the Xixia Imperial City. Ten miles is one pass, and there are five in total. Guan, as long as the Queen Mother can step into the Xixia Imperial City, then my master will turn around and leave immediately. At the same time, these hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, silver, and various rare treasures will be given to the Queen Mother as an apology gift. . But if the Queen Mother fails to enter the Xixia Imperial City before the sun comes up tomorrow, then the Queen Mother will lose. If she is willing to admit defeat, she must marry King Ruyang of Mongolia. I don’t know if the Queen Mother is willing to accept this gamble."

"What if I don't want to accept it?"

"Then, Xixia will join Mongolia. Before the Queen Mother steps into the Xixia Imperial City, the King of Xixia will tell the world that all the five Xixia states will be merged into Mongolian territory, and Mongolia will immediately send Mongolian cavalry into Xixia to take over I know that with the power of the Queen Mother, it may not be possible to kill all the Mongols, but it is easy to kill all the Mongolian generals.

However, my master also said that her Bahuang Liuhe Magic Technique still has a few years to go before reincarnation, but she is happy to take advantage of this period to learn from the Queen Mother! "

Li Qiushui tilted his head and looked at the woman in front of him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! This damn dwarf is really troublesome. Okay, I will take this bet, but you have to raise your bet, otherwise I will suffer too much."

"Queen Mother, please tell me."

"As long as I pass the five levels, you Meilanzhuju will no longer be from Lingjiu Palace. You are my slaves. How about it? I will give you to my grandnephew as a gift. As long as you, that damn dwarf, After agreeing to this condition, I will continue to play with her. Anyway, my bones are so idle."

Mei's face immediately showed some embarrassment.

It must be unacceptable for the four sisters to become the slaves of others and give up such great power.

But according to her understanding of Wu Xingyun, the other party would definitely agree to this bet without hesitation.

After all, in Wu Xingyun's eyes, they were just ants and burdens.

Nothing at all.

So instead of asking more questions, it's better to agree directly.

Thinking of this, she nodded and said: "There is no need to ask the master for instructions on this matter. As long as the Queen Mother passes the five levels, Mei Lan Zhuju will leave the Vulture Palace and voluntarily become the Queen Mother's slave."

After hearing this, Li Qiushui smiled.

"It seems that you have been dissatisfied with that unkind and unkind master for a long time!"

Mei said nothing.

He just raised his palm slightly.

A stone was carried by a dozen black women and placed in front of Li Qiushui.

This stone looks black and opaque.

But if you put your eyes on the stone, you can clearly see everything in the stone. The inside is as transparent as jade, and in the middle there is a green jade heart the size of a fist.

"This is called Tianshui Jade, and it comes from the depths of the Tianshan Mountains. The Queen Mother only needs to take out the jade heart in the middle, and the first level will be passed."

The long sword flashed with cold light on Li Qiushui's hand, reappeared in the center of his palm, and then slashed hard from top to bottom. There was a bang, a deafening sound of sonic boom accompanied by shock waves surging to both sides, and strong winds. The long sword whizzed past and sank deeply into the black jade in front of him, which surprised Li Qiushui. This seemingly very fragile jade sword only scratched a little bit of skin, and was no longer able to move forward at all.

I kept exerting force on my hands, but there was no way to move forward.

Li Qiushui was silent for a while, put away his sword, and slapped his palm on the stone.

The rolling infuriating energy was poured into it.

But the stone in front of him remained motionless, as if the force that could easily crush a person had hit the air. Instead, the shock made his palms numb.

"Interesting!" Li Qiushui sneered at the corner of his mouth and gestured to the female officer beside him. The latter ran to the carriage and took out a black package from the carriage.

Opening the package, there were some black blocks wrapped in brown paper.

"Know what this is?"

"gunpowder."

"Yes!"

Li Qiushui very skillfully arranged the black gunpowder around the jade.

He took a few steps back and gently slid his nails.

A spark popped out of thin air from his finger.

Coerced by the true energy, this spark quickly floated away into the distance.

Only a loud explosion was heard.

White steam flew with billowing smoke.

A burning smell followed.

But when the steam dissipates, the black smoke clears.

Although the stone was shattered by the blast, it was still largely intact.

Li Qiushui frowned deeply.

This stone is really extremely hard, but fortunately, I still have a trump card, which is that the dragon-slaying knife is useless.

But I was just about to borrow the dragon-slaying knife.

A flash of green suddenly flew from a distance and flew directly into the stone.

Accompanied by the disappearance of this green flash.

The black stone, which was originally as motionless as a mountain, suddenly began to squirm violently as if it had come to life. Eyes and mouths opened and spread rapidly on the surface of the stone. It looked extremely scary, as if it came from Monsters from hell.

There was a pop, and a fist-sized green jade was spat out from a mouth.

Then, the green light flashed again.

White smoke billowed out from those eyes and mouths, disappearing without a trace amid the rich stench.

"Don't waste any more time!" Wu Gong's voice came from a distance, "I don't have time to play with you anymore!"

Li Qiushui bent down and picked up the jade on the ground.

Looking at the dumbfounded Mei in front of him, he said: "I know you want to use this stone to hold me back for a while, but it's a pity, tsk tsk!" (End of chapter)
