"Can we really heavily injure that Cang Shengdao?"
Within the Xiqin City Han King Manor, under the dim light, a teen wearing a king robe was looking at the 2 people in front of him with hesitation.
As the master of this manor, the 4th prince of the Taishang dynasty, although he was 50 years old, his body and appearance were still like that of a 20 year old teen.
This was because his martial path cultivation was really high and he had already preserved his looks.
In front of his table, there were 2 people sitting. Tailing Sect's Ji Lingzi had a deep and confident aura, neither arrogant nor humble. Yuan Jiuchen, who was at the side, sat upright and still. His eyes were filled with caution and respect.
"If your highness is willing to lend 800 Dingxi iron cavalry, I am confident that we can heavily injure Cang Shengdao! Cang Shengdao has wild ambitions, wanting to overturn etiquette and laws to build an equal world. Isn't that preposterous? The current emperor already hated these rebels and rebels to the core. If we can get the heads of those 500 Cang Shengdao rebels, the emperor will be delighted. Your highness will also be rewarded. "
Yinquan didn't show any signs of being moved, taking in a deep breath, "Reward? Forget it, I only ask for no mistakes and don't ask for merit. The Yan City Pass rebellion, one time is enough. Recently I heard that you all went head to head with that Cang Shengdao in Lewu County and suffered heavy losses. Is there such a thing? I heard that at that time, your strength far exceeded Cang Shengdao. "
Ji Lingzi clenched his fists. This matter had spread out long ago, causing the various sects of the cloud world to be in an uproar. It couldn't be hidden from this Han King who saw the few provinces in the west as his own territory.
"There is such a thing! However, because we lost once, we have a higher chance of winning. Since I fell for it once, I definitely won't fall for it a second time! Your highness doesn't believe me, but do you not believe in the strength of Tailing Sect? "
Han King Yinquan didn't reply when he heard that, only a weird expression appeared in his eyes. Then he smiled and asked, "Then where is your sect prepared to attack?"
"Helian Iron Mountain!"
Ji Lingzi replied without hesitation, "Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light! The initiative was in the hands of others. If our sect wants to win against Cang Shengdao, we cannot sit and wait for them to assassinate Marshal Yuan. This Helian Iron Mountain was a place Cang Shengdao had to save! With the lives of those three million people as a hostage, would the heroes of Cang Shengdao save them or not? Ji Lingzi's visit this time was also for the sake of requesting the order. Your highness, please execute all these Yan City Pass sinners within a few days! "
"Execution?"
Yinquan's pupils constricted, following which he scoffed, "Your Tailing Sect is really vicious and merciless. That's the lives of three million people. Aren't you afraid that your reputation as the number one Daoist sect will be damaged if word of this gets out? "
"Since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not care about trifles! As far as I know, Cang Shengdao has sent over nine hundred men. With just three million people, if they could severely injure these Devil Rebels, the Taishang's foundation would be even more stable. What do you think, your highness Han King? "
Ji Lingzi said expressionlessly, not bothering about the mocking intent in Yinquan's words.
"So what if it gets out? How can the random words of some commoners and preposterous rumors shake the foundations of our Tailing Sect? Your highness Han King wouldn't do such a thing that harms others for your own benefit! "
The mocking intent at the corner of Yinquan's lips became thicker but he didn't reject. Instead, he was tempted. He was deep in thought, after a long while he shook his head, "I still need to consider this matter. Wait for my reply in two days …"
When Yuan Jiuchen heard that, his expression relaxed. Exchanging glances with Ji Lingzi, they both knew that this Han King was already tempted.
Such a huge matter concerned the battle between two powers. It was expected that Yinquan would need two days to consider and there was no need to persuade or force him. They all stood up and bowed before taking their leave.
Not long after the two of them left, an old man who looked around seventy suddenly walked out from behind the screen and sat down at the side.
Yinquan wasn't surprised, his brows furrowed as he picked up a bamboo scroll from the table. It was something that a small constable of Lewu County handed over a month ago. Using his spiritual sense to record it, it was the most detailed intel he received regarding the battle of Lewu City.
"Unparalleled in battle formations, grade 6 realm comprehending the pinnacle of sword intent! It was said that this person's sword already had a mind of its own, showing signs of being connected to the spirit. Tan Qiu? Hey! This Cang Shengdao actually gave birth to such a talent. Old Li, what do you think? "
"In the battle of Lewu City, Tailing Sect lost too much and wants to win back what they lost."
After that surnamed Li old man sat down, his reply was simple and direct, "It is because this Tan Qiu is too outstanding, the tallest tree in the forest that Tailing Sect wants to rush him! This time they are sincerely asking your highness for help … "
Yinquan nodded slightly, he also guessed that this was the case, "Then should I agree or not? Should I just stand aside and watch?"
"Everyone has their own gains and losses! Your highness has already acted against Cang Shengdao, there is no need to offend him to death. However, if we can ask for some manpower and money from Tailing Sect, it is not bad … "
As he spoke halfway, the surnamed Li old man saw that Yinquan's eyes were filled with rage. He instantly smiled, knowing that his vague words had annoyed this highness.
"However, before your highness makes a decision, please take a look at this thing?"
Yinquan acknowledged and casually took it. Only to see that in his hand was an invitation. When he opened it, his eyelids jumped.
"Elegant Xuanyin Pavilion? Tan Qiu? "
"This Elegant Xuanyin Pavilion is the property of Qingyin Sect …"
"I know, but this Tan Qiu is really bold!"
Yinquan's eyes were filled with shock, "He wants to meet me 3 days later at the Elegant Xuanyin Pavilion?"
"Not only that!"
When the surnamed Li old man said that, his face was filled with disbelief, "He also informed me to send people to Liaoyang, saying that 3 days later we can watch a good show."
"Liaoyang, isn't that my 9th brother's land?"
Yinquan was more and more shocked, his expression changing. After a long while, his expression regained calmness, asking expressionlessly, "Then how does old Li think I should deal with this matter?
When the surnamed Li old man heard that, he knew that this highness had already made a decision. He acted like he didn't know, smiling expressionlessly, "Why not agree to Ji Lingzi's side and meet Tan Qiu's side. If your highness is willing, why not let him stay. "
Yinquan instantly smiled, seemingly deep and indiscernible.
He also thought that way. This Tan Qiu definitely had a plan, so he had to meet him.
※ ※ ※
The Elegant Xuanyin Pavilion was one of the most famous brothels in Xiqin City. Yinquan had come a few times in the early years, but after the Yan City Pass incident, he didn't come anymore.
He disguised himself as a normal merchant and came to the back alley of the Elegant Xuanyin Pavilion. Someone led the way, leading Yinquan's group straight to the 5th floor.
What they saw along the way were all beauties that made one's heart flutter. The zither music flowed, gentle and low. Being provoked by the music, it made one's mind waver.
However, thinking about these girls, there might be Qingyin Sect disciples here. Yinquan felt regretful, like how a beauty had no choice but to become a thief.
When they reached the 5th floor, it was an empty space. Only to the side was a young man who was about 15 years old, sitting upright. Even when Yinquan and his group arrived, he didn't get up to bow, just sitting there quietly.
Without needing anyone to signal, the ten over attendants who followed Yinquan all spread out and searched the floors above and below.
Moments later, they all returned, nodding their heads towards the surnamed Li old man beside Yinquan. This was to tell the 2 of them that within this Elegant Xuanyin Pavilion, there were no other grade 7 and above experts. Furthermore, there were no traps.
Yinquan couldn't help but smile. This Cang Shengdao knew his place.
He didn't hesitate, directly walking to the seat of honor and sitting down. Then, he looked at the teen in the blue shirt with a teasing expression.
His body was indeed extraordinary, his aura was really stable. However, where did this kid get the confidence to think that he, Yinquan, wouldn't kill him?
"You are Tan Qiu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zong Shou's eyes were originally half open and half closed. When he heard that, he woke up like he had just woken up from a dream, looking outside the railing.
"It isn't 1am yet, your highness Han King came early. Let's wait for 15 minutes … "
Yinquan walked up, instantly rage rose up in his heart, only to feel the rage in his chest like a wave.
He had indeed come early today. However, in this world, apart from his father and the few elders in the court, who else dared to speak to him like that?
Old man Li slightly shook his head towards him, using his eyes to signal something.
Yinquan frowned, suppressing the rage in his heart. He also didn't say anything, waiting quietly.
This teen was stubborn but had no holes, he definitely had something to rely on. He wanted to see exactly how this Tanqiu was going to give him a reason not to kill after a quarter of an hour had passed.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere on this floor was so cold that one could hear a pin drop.
As time went on, Yinquan's expression slowly calmed down. On the contrary, the killing intent from the body of the servant beside him became thicker and thicker.
It was also at this moment that a talisman suddenly appeared in the sky and descended upon them. When it landed in the hands of Old man Li, his body shook, his expression changing. His mind shook, his true qi going out of control, directly smashing the corner of the table. He didn't dare to delay, solemnly passing the talisman to Yinquan.
Yinquan was filled with doubt. After he took it, his face turned ashen white, his expression numb. Only after a long while did he recover. However, his face was still devoid of blood.
"… Tailing Sect direct disciple, Taiqing Chengfeng Sword! What a 9th brother, what a Tailing Sect. These few years you really played me in the palm of your hand … "
When Zong Shou heard that, he came back to life from the dead silence. He nodded his head towards Yinquan as a greeting.
"Wild people don't know etiquette, please don't blame them! This time Tan Qiu is representing me, Cang Shengdao, to discuss some matters with you. "
Yinquan's pupils constricted. At this moment, he didn't have the heart to bother about the rudeness of this person. He also knew that many of Cang Shengdao's disciples didn't follow etiquette and didn't respect the ruler.
Thinking that all people were equal, naturally he, the Han King, was like a commoner.
Scoffing coldly, Yinquan took in a deep breath, "Then first seat Tan came for Yuan Jiuchen and Tailing Sect?" If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
