Because the Castellan Mansion were on fire, the Xiu'er lived in a house. By the time she had changed her clothes and rushed to the city gate, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi was already waiting in front of a small courtyard. The three of them did not speak much and nodded at each other before walking into the courtyard.

This was just an ordinary courtyard of a house. In the courtyard stood over a dozen guards wearing gray wind and rain cloaks, only the collar of their Moqiu Army robes faintly revealed their identity. There were also more than twenty soldiers of the Red Camp on guard on the side, and the two groups of people were glaring at each other, brimming with killing intent.

Seeing Xiu'er's group of three come in, a captain of Red Camp bowed towards them, and then said in a low voice: "All three of them are in the hall."

The Xiu'er nodded and walked towards the room with the only light on. When she reached the entrance of the hall, two Black Cove guards suddenly held out their hands to stop her. This action of hers almost made the entire courtyard explode. The Red Camp soldier immediately took out his sword. Although the soldiers of Black Hill Guards were few in number, they did not show any signs of backing down as they pulled out their machetes and glared at each other.

Chen Chu quietly walked to the side of Xiu'er and looked at the two Black Mountain Guards who were blocking the way. He had a smile on his face, but his voice was cold like a devil's, "Who gave you the guts to reach out and stop me? Why didn't you ask who this is? Aren't you afraid that your father will wring your arms off and burn them like firewood? "

The eyes of the two guards flickered, but they gritted their teeth in the end, "General Xu has ordered that no one is to carry any weapons."

"General Xu?" "Humph!" Chen Chu scoffed from his nose, his shoulders swayed slightly, and wanted to attack. Xiu'er reached out and stopped him, then said to the guards: "Then tell your Master Xu to get the hell out of Tiger Running City before dawn!" After saying that, she turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi both laughed and followed Xiu'er out at the same time. Xiu'er continued to walk as she spoke, "Lord Qu, if they haven't left by daybreak, I'll leave the matter of clearing the place to you."

Qu Feizhi bared his teeth, as if a word had popped out from between his teeth: "Lord Xiu, don't worry, the kerosene is enough, I promise I won't let a single brother get injured."

Just as the three were about to leave the courtyard, there was the sound of a door opening, followed by Xu Keding's flustered voice, "Lord Xiu, stop! Lord Xiu, please hold your steps! "

Hearing this voice, Xiu'er smiled slightly. She took a few more steps forward, and when she stood on the steps to the main entrance, she stopped and turned to look at Xu Keding, "What orders does Master Xu have?"

Xu Keding walked to Xiu'er in quick steps and bowed deeply, "Lord Xiu, please do not take offense to this misunderstanding, it is all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Chen Chu laughed sinisterly: "The two little brothers just now said it clearly. It was all because of General Xu's orders, it shouldn't be a misunderstanding right? "I'm still thinking about whether or not to add a rule in front of the city gates that no one is allowed to bring any weapons into the city."

Xu Keding smiled bitterly: "General Chen, it really is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Xiu'er waved her hand, her voice carrying a trace of impatience, "General Xu, I won't hold back. For the time being, I believe that this is a misunderstanding. But if you want to talk, then do as I say! I don't care if it was in the past or in the future, but at least for now, I have the final say in this Tiger Running City! "

After saying that, Xiu'er turned and walked a few steps, and then sat down on a stone chair in the courtyard, and looked at Xu Keding without saying a word. Qu Feizhi and Yue Yang stood behind Xiu'er and stared at Xu Keding without saying a word.

Xu Keding's face was unsettled. Looking at Xiu'er, she actually didn't know what to say, as if she was at a loss as to whether or not she should sit down.

Xiu'er smiled at him and said, "Don't force yourself, bring him out."

Xu Keding was startled, and subconsciously asked "Lord Xiu, how did you know ~ ~ ~".

Qu Feizhi smiled as he walked in front of Xu Keding and wrapped his arm around's shoulder. "With your status, if you go in and out with these guards, you still need to search for weapons. That level, right? It's just a little bit off."

Although his words were full of ridicule, Xu Keding's face was already extremely ugly. Qu Feizhi's words were too hurtful, what status did he have? A loser! Back then, he had led several thousand soldiers and were stuck at the Sunset Ditch. If not for Xiu'er allowing him to surrender, it was unknown how many of the thousands of soldiers she had under his command would still be alive. If there was no one backing you up, would you, Xu Keding, still have the face to put on airs in front of us?!

After thinking for a moment, Xu Keding's expression turned from anger to sorrow. In the end, he sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, I will go and ask."

Before he could turn around, a hearty laugh came from the living room, "Don't ask anymore, the guest will follow you." Lord Xiu is right, she has the final say on the current Tiger Running City. "

Following the laughter, a tall man walked out from the living room. Although people who wore a cape and hat could not see his face, from the respectful attitude of the surrounding Black Hill Guards, it was obvious that he was even more noble than Xu Keding.

Behind the man was another man. Both of them wore hooded cloaks with the brim bent low over their foreheads, revealing only the lower half of their faces. It was only when they reached the stone table and sat down that the two of them took off their hats and revealed their faces.

The one on the left was a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties. He was tall and well-built, and he wore black, gold-trimmed civilian clothes. Although the clothes were simple, one could tell from the way he worked that they were not something an ordinary person could wear. His face had a beard and his eyes were full of life. His hair was casually swept back, revealing a scar on his forehead. This added a bit of bravery to his appearance. The other person who sat quietly beside him was a young man who appeared to be no more than twenty years old. He had a handsome face, and a little less determination and calmness, and an extra aura of calligraphy. So, although he was also wearing a black and gold plain clothes, compared to this middle-aged man, his bearing was a bit weaker. Although he had a clean face with no beard and his hair was even more refined, the calmness in his eyes and the imposing look in his eyes made him not look like an ignorant playboy.

After the two of them sat down, Xu Keding stood behind them with a complicated expression, he didn't even dare to sit.

Xiu'er smiled at the middle aged man and said, "I presume this is the Nine Your Highness Tiger King s of Moqiu State?"

The middle-aged man laughed, "That's This King! Being famous is not as good as being able to meet, Lord Xiu is indeed talented and outstanding, heroic and decisive, worthy of being a female hero. "

Even if they had guessed, when this person truly admitted that he was the Ninth Tiger King himself, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi were still a little surprised. Especially the surrounding Red Camp Warriors, who couldn't help but hold onto the hilt of their blades in their hands.

"The Ninth King's praise is too much. "May I know who this is?" Xiu'er indifferently shifted her gaze onto that young man.

The smile on Ninth Tiger King's face did not change as he reached out to introduce, "This is a good friend of this duke, who is ranked tenth among the Ten Second Tiger King s of Black Hill Village."

Once these words were said, the complexions on Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi's faces immediately changed. Xu Keding luring out Ninth Tiger King was not considered too outrageous, but with the appearance of Tenth Tiger King in front of him, the meaning was a little different. It always felt like the purpose of this trip was definitely not simple.

Just as Xiu'er wanted to summon people to serve tea to Ninth Tiger King and Tenth Tiger King, Ninth Tiger King had already said with a smile, "There is a special product in this king's territory that is actually tea. We had already prepared to wait for Lord Xiu, but who would have thought that the guards would mislead us." At this point, he tilted her head slightly, restrained his smile and said in a sharp tone, "It's up to you to decide!"

Xu Keding was startled, then nodded his head, he turned and walked to the two guards who were blocking the Xiu'er at the door and shouted: "The one who is holding the Lord Xiu back?!"

The two guards glanced at each other, then shakily stretched out their left and right arms. Xu Keding didn't even think, and instantly unsheathed his blade and chopped downwards. people from Moqiu's scimitar was originally designed to be chopped down. The blade head was wide and curved, shaped like a dog leg. In addition, as a general, the items he was using were not ordinary. With a flash of his saber, both of his severed arms fell to the ground at almost the same time.

Fresh blood gushed out from the wounds on their severed arms. The two guards were in so much pain that their heads were covered in sweat. However, other than some muffled groans, they didn't even cry out in pain. Other guards came over and took out some medicine to bandage their wounds. Their actions were so skillful that it caused people's scalps to go numb.

Ninth Tiger King watched on from the side until the two guards were supported down. Then he turned his head and smiled at Xiu'er, "Lord Xiu, these two guys don't have anything to do with each other, do they?"

Xiu'er's expression was normal as she nodded her head slightly: "Then I'll do as you bid, and have a taste of this Moqiu State's tea."

Ninth Tiger King laughed out loud and stood beside Tenth Tiger King. He made a gesture to Xiu'er to invite him in, and then they walked towards the hall together.

Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi followed behind Xu Keding and were at the very back of the group. The two of them looked at each other and saw traces of worry in each other's eyes.

The host of the two parties sat down as Ninth Tiger King personally poured tea into a pot for them. Even Chen Chu, Qu Feizhi and Xu Keding had their own cup. After that, they introduced themselves and exchanged a few words. "General is powerful. I've long heard that he is indeed a powerful general when I see him today!" and "I have already heard of the great merits of the nine kings from the Fire Phoenix Empire, and I wish that I had met them too late." Polite words, or bullshit.

After drinking three or four cups of tea, Ninth Tiger King gently put down the teacup in his hand and stopped drinking. He lightly glanced at the Tenth Tiger King and said, "Lord Xiu, General Chen Qu, I have come here on a adventure mainly for two things."

Seeing him act so seriously, the three Xiu'er s also put down their teacups and replied seriously, "Please speak, Ninth King."

The Ninth Tiger King nodded his head, and took out two long wooden boxes from his bosom, and took another square wooden box from Tenth Tiger King's hands. He placed the three boxes on the table, and gently pushed the boxes in front of Xiu'er, "The first thing you need to do is to thank the Lord Xiu and the two generals for showing the heart of a Bodhisattva, and for giving us a chance to live. These gifts are for the lives of our tens of thousands of soldiers." After saying that, he took the lead and opened the two wooden boxes, revealing the contents within.

The two wooden boxes were about a foot long and three inches wide. After opening them, they each contained three small bottles. The body of the bottle was round and transparent. The neck of the bottle was long and thin, and it sparkled under the candlelight. At the end, it was made out of fine crystal. These six bottles were worth quite a bit of money, to say nothing of anything else. Each bottle was filled with a dark red finger sized pill, which could not be seen through the bottle. However, with Xiu'er's tacit approval, Qu Feizhi opened the cork bottle and a sweet fragrance immediately wafted out, filling the entire room with the aroma of plants and vegetation.

"This is a divine pellet that the Lord Messenger of God bestowed to me a few years ago. It is said that it was refined using the Beast God's blood essence and heavenly resources, I dare not say that it is made of white flesh and bones, but as long as this person still has a breath of life, he can take one and he will be in danger."

When these words came out, Qu Feizhi and Chen Chu couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. This almost meant that they had an extra life.

After Ninth Tiger King finished speaking, he who was sitting quietly at the side opened the square box. The moment they opened it, Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi were once again shocked. Inside was a necklace. The entire necklace was made of broken diamonds. If one looked carefully, they would see that there were over a thousand broken diamonds twisted together with shining pure gold threads. This was nothing. The necklace's pendant was a golden pearl that was the size of a pigeon's egg. On both sides of the pendant, there were six identical pearls that were carefully selected from large to small. This kind of rare treasure was definitely not inferior to the Emperor of the Fire Phoenix Empire Fire Her Majesty Yanrann s by any means, and it might even be a little stronger than them!

The Tenth Tiger King saw that everyone was staring at him, a hint of pride appeared in his smile, and he said softly, "This necklace was passed down from my ancestors, it has always been kept at home. I heard that Lord Xiu is a heroine amongst women, so I specially brought them as a form of gratitude, hoping that Lord Xiu would not decline. "

When he finished speaking, even Chen Chu and Qu Feizhi couldn't help but look at Xiu'er. Everyone hoped that the girl in front of them could pick up the necklace and wear it on her neck. The Xiu'er herself was like a fallen jade, her military career in the past few days not only did not make her rough and rough, but it had even added a heroic air to her face.

Under the anticipating gazes of the crowd, Xiu'er slowly extended her jade hand. Then, under everyone's astonished gaze, she gently closed the boxes on top of the three boxes.

Although the lid of the box was closed, she did not push the box back, but said slowly, "First, I thank the two Tiger King s for their intentions, but truthfully speaking, the Tenth Tiger King's men retreated on their own, we just did not give chase. Although the Ninth Tiger King's troops were captured, we were not really too concerned with them, we just took their weapons. The reason your department was able to not have any conflicts with us, it should be because of General Xu's discipline. Moreover, we had already given up on looking after them when we were attacking Tiger Running City, so we do not know if they were still alive or not right now. This gift does not deserve anything. "

Qu Feizhi and Chen Chu looked at each other and laughed bitterly. This Lord Xiu, everything else was good, just that she was speaking too straightforwardly.

Tenth Tiger King's expression was slightly awkward, but Ninth Tiger King was unmoved. His smile did not change, "Lord Xiu, do not be courteous, we do not get to know each other until we fight. This is considered a greeting gift."

Xiu'er also reported with a smile, "Previously, Ninth Tiger King said that there were two things, so why not tell me the second one as well. At that time, I can think about whether I can accept this gift or not.
