For a bandit leader, tenderness is fatally dangerous, especially tenderness that comes on a whim. Shi Qingjue could go all the way into the Central Plains just to avenge a woman who had died for many years, and brought the woman's son back to Iron Mountain as a distinguished guest. No one of his subordinates dared to object, because the woman was the daughter of the big-headed god. The monk claimed that she was his favorite woman from the first day he took charge of Tieshan. Tieshan and his subordinates have become accustomed to this idea and regard it as some kind of eccentricity, a eccentricity that every gang leader has the right to display. For example, the big-headed god will string people on iron spears at any time. Shangguan Fei's feelings for Nangong Bad made Shi Qingjue feel sorry for her, but that was all. The only way he could show sympathy was to cut off the injured person's head with his own hands to end her pain immediately. The half of Nangong Huai's uninjured face was full of struggle and fear. The pain was indeed unbearable, but she didn't want to die even more. She couldn't open her mouth and could only make a sound of "wh", as if she was begging for life or begging for death. Shangguan Fei Can't decide. Shi Qingjue would not guess what others were thinking. He stretched out his legs to push Shangguan Fei aside, knelt down on one leg, pressed Nangong Huai's forehead with his left hand, and put the dagger on his neck with his right hand, "I promise, it will be over in the blink of an eye." Shangguan Fei Covering his mouth, he was completely stunned. Even Shangguan Cheng, who was already prepared, took two steps back, not wanting to see the next scene. Chu Nanping had a big appetite and ate a large piece of meat. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. He stood up and said, "Someone is here again." Shi Qingjue hesitated for a moment, stood up and said loudly: "There is wine here. We are all passers-by, why don't you come out and make friends?" Dozens of gangsters have already taken care of us. At this time, they all held the hilts of their knives and looked around cautiously. They heard nothing, no sound of horse hooves or footsteps. After a while, a gentle and old voice came: "Haha, King Iron is so hospitable, it's a pity. We can't eat meat or drink wine, I'm afraid we will let down the king's kindness." Zihe Zhenren came from the darkness He walked out, half of his short hair barely tied together, like a child's hair. He turned a blind eye to the gangsters, walked straight to Shi Qingjue, and took a look. He turned around and shouted: "Disciples and disciples, please come out. It must be because you are not good at studying and have exposed your flaws." Three more people appeared from the darkness and came over reluctantly, showing the same vigilance to the knife-wielding gangsters. . "Don't look at me looking miserable. I am Zhenren Zihe, the head of the Kongtong Sect. This is my apprentice Zhou Yuqing. This is his younger brother. My nephew Zhou Huaiyu. This is my apprentice's great-grandson Chen Jinke." "Old Immortal He is famous all over the world and I have admired him for a long time." Shi Qingjue said calmly. There was no clasped fist in salute, he knew it very well. Those opponents who seemed completely innocent were the more difficult enemies to deal with. He thought that he would tell Shangguan Cheng this sentence later. Shangguan Cheng really needed this kind of teaching, because he immediately developed a liking for and curiosity about Master Zihe, "Master Zihe? Didn't you just be named a Grand Master? Why are you here?" "Aha, you He is the Jade King and Dragon King of the Western Regions. Didn¡¯t he come out to play alone? Like you, I feel that the capital is too boring" Shangguan Cheng glanced at Shi Qingjue and finally realized that Zihe was not the enemy of us. Well, shut up now. Master Zihe turned to Shi Qingjue, "We masters and disciples are going back to Kongtong Mountain. Where is King Tie going?" "Of course it's beyond the Great Wall, that's where we came from." "That's great, everyone is together. Let¡¯s go with King Iron, and we will no longer be afraid of thieves blocking the road.¡± ¡°Okay, as long as the old immortal doesn¡¯t suddenly recruit the heavenly soldiers and generals, we can go together.¡± ¡°No, no, I¡¯m a god. He can't recruit him, and even the title of Grand Master is not guaranteed. Now that the world has no master, he may regret it when the new emperor takes the throne. Master Zihe completed the polite task, walked around the fire and walked to Chu Nanping, "Young man, you have a good ear. Are you Chu Nanping from the Western Region? I want to ask, have you seen Gu Shenwei these days?" " Chu Nanping shook his head. Master Zihe seemed very satisfied, nodded with a smile, walked towards Nangong Huai and Shangguan Fei, looked down for a while, "Oh, how come you are a Bodhisattva from the Ten Directions Sect, so why are you beaten like this?" Shangguan Fei reacted very quickly, He knelt on the ground and said, "Old fairy, can you heal her injuries?" "The bones are broken. Even a true fairy can't restore her to her original shape." "It's more important to save people. We'll wait until she can be restored to her original shape." Master Zihe sat cross-legged next to Nangong Badou, observing carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes saying:At the same time, Shangguan Fei's heart was rising and falling. Shi Qingjue did not interfere at first, but after watching for a while he said, "Old immortal, wait until I cut off the head, and then you can take your time and look at it." "If the head is cut off, won't the person die?" Master Zihe said in surprise. "Dead people don't move around or cry out in pain. The old immortal can worry less when he repairs it." "Haha, King Iron really loves to joke." "I never joke. I injured this person. I am now I'm going to cut off her head and give it as a gift. If you two find it dirty, please step aside." Shangguan Fei finally gained some hope and gained some courage. He stretched out his hand to stop Shi Qingjue: "She's here. She is not an important person in the Shifang Sect. You already have six heads, so let her go." Shi Qingjue was full of energy, and he could see his chest slowly swelling through his clothes. Shangguan Fei immediately gave up. When he got to the side, his momentum had already plummeted, and he would never dare to make a move with the monk. Master Zihe seemed unaware of this and shook his head, "You are wrong, Nangong Huai is very important in Shifang Sect." "Huh?" Shangguan Fei did not expect that the old god would say such words, "She She" "The Shifang Sect's territory is in the northeast, why did you two go to the northwest border?" "Ah?" Shangguan Fei said again, "I I don't know, I followed her." " The heroes of the northwest stand side by side." Master Zihe said to Shi Qingjue in a casual tone, "I am not boasting, can the Kongtong Sect be considered one?" "Yes." Shi Qingjue admitted that the Kongtong Sect is a famous sect with disciples all over the Western Regions. , even among the Tieshan gang, there are also people who have a teacher-student relationship with the Kongtong sect in a roundabout way. "The Iron Mountain outside the Great Wall stretches thousands of miles across, and is avoided by both officials and people. It is even more of a force." "Yes." Shi Qingjue listened, saying that the Iron Mountain has no fixed place, and it is okay to say that it is a northwest force. "The Xiaolan clan occupies a vast area, has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, has many characters and livestock, and is quite powerful." "Of course." "There is also General Pang Ning, commanding an army of 200,000, to supervise the Xiaolan clan and guard against the north. The court cavalry is the largest force. " "Humph." Although Shi Qingjue accepted the invitation to kill for Pang Ning, he never felt that Tieshan was inferior. While Master Zihe was talking, he carefully straightened Nangong Huai¡¯s broken bones and applied ointment. Shangguan Fei was full of hope, and Shi Qingjue did not stop him. For him, whether the head was intact or not was not important. "As far as I know, Nangong Huai is Ci's best confidant. She didn't stay in the capital to help the leader, didn't go back to her hometown in the northeast, and didn't flee to the south for refuge. She chose to go to the northwest border. There must be a reason." "So what? When the bodies are separated, any reason will not matter." Master Zihe quickly moved his fingers and roughly straightened the broken bones. He fed Nangong Badi a Kongtong Sect healing elixir, raised his head and said, "Fu How can there be no eggs under the nest? The capital is in chaos, the world is in turmoil, and the northwest is bound to be a place of trouble. Since King Tie is willing to make a deal with General Pang Ning, why not just make a bigger deal in front of Master Zihe? General Pang Ning was not mentioned in front of him. The other party guessed the answer and he no longer tried to hide it, "Is the old god lobbying for Prince Xiao?" "It's not shameful to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Let¡¯s compare which tree is bigger.¡± Shi Qingjue was stunned for a moment, pulled Shangguan Cheng, and sat side by side at Nangong Bad¡¯s feet, face to face with Master Zihe, as if there was a table across the way, with Shangguan Fei guarding him. First of all, his eyes never left Nangong Huai's side, and he felt a little at ease when he found that she had fallen asleep. "Pang Ning has an army of 200,000 and controls several counties in the northwest. In the east, the Xiaolan family obeys his advice, and in the west, the Loulan kingdoms obey him." "King Xiao put down the riot in the capital, received the support of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and inherited the great power. The unification is just around the corner. One hundred thousand Yulin troops are the best in the world. The kings of Shandong are responding to each other from afar. Volunteer soldiers from all over the country are gathering in the capital. In less than a month, a million troops will be assembled. " "Although the world is big, Iron Mountain is only in the grassland. Galloping, the millions of troops in the Central Plains have nothing to do with me. Pang Ning has Beiting with his back. Even if he loses, he can still retreat to the grassland. He is still a tiger beside Tieshan. "Haha, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Pang Ning wants to eradicate the Shifang Sect because he is afraid. The war is going on, and the enemy is on the front. How can the king be at ease with Tieshan behind him? , I also understand that once a word is broken, it is difficult to follow it. Pang Ning and I are bound by blood, and we cannot break our oath like this." "The king's loyalty is admirable, so there is no rush in this matter.??Let's drop by. Is it okay to go together? " "Welcome. " "There is also Nangong Huai. Her legs can't run, and her head will naturally follow. It's better to postpone the beheading and take the whole thing with her. " "Well -" Shi Qingjue turned to Shangguan Cheng, "What do you think? " Shangguan Cheng was taken aback. He immediately straightened his body and said in the most serious tone: "If the Shifang Sect really has a hidden conspiracy, it would be good to listen to Nangong Huai's confession. " "Then store her head until she can speak. " Master Zihe stood up first, cupped his hands to Shi Qingjue and said, "If your Majesty is reasonable, things will be much easier to handle. "Then he looked at Shangguan Cheng and blinked at him, looking very friendly. He thought to himself that he finally had something in his hand that could be used to exchange the imperial seal with Gu Shenwei.
