It turned out that just now, when he pretended to be in close proximity, he had intended to leave his guard up. He pushed away the index finger with his two fingers and seized the opportunity to control it so that he could observe the reaction of the leave. He had originally thought that Rusheng would be able to understand the situation and work together with him. He wanted to take over the position of the Dark Master, but Rushuang actually wanted him to repent in front of the people of the Dark Master, and even withdraw from the position of the greatest disciple. For someone whose ambition had already surpassed all other emotions and desires, this was simply a pipe dream.
Since it couldn't be used, the other side could only use the opportunity to get rid of it. This was a way of doing things that had always been overly formal.
Senior brother, don't blame me for this, you brought this upon yourself. If you don't want a good fortune and glory, you must do whatever you can to help your master. If you want to do that, then go down to the underworld and pay your respects to this old man. He used his strength to break the innards of the clam as he whispered into its ear in a cold voice.
Shouchuan originally wanted to use his inner force to execute his own sound technique as a last struggle. However, he didn't know that Taiju didn't even give him the chance to resist and directly cut off his heart meridian with his inner force.
"You …" Chou Rong struggled to say the last word. His eyes were wide open as though they were about to burst out. However, this was still the last word he could say because blood was already flowing out of his seven orifices.
No one can survive a broken heart, even if he is a Xipao.
"Just keep walking. I'll take care of your Western Horn Palace for you." Tai Kun continued to whisper in Chou's ear, and the two fingers in his hands slowly spread out.
Without the support of his two fingers, the body without any center of gravity fell heavily onto the ground with a thump.
At this moment, a complacent glint appeared in his deep eyes. He slowly put down his hands and looked at the dead body on the ground. He seemed to feel pity and slightly shook his head.
However, he was only a junior from the same sect, but unfortunately, when he died, he was miserable. He would absolutely not feel uneasy about what he had done. In the Dark Abyss Palace, he was the only one in charge. Anyone who wanted to obstruct or threaten their own status and supremacy would only have one ending, and that was death.
Since Jing Ke had seen through the true appearance of the Yin Yang Clan's headmaster, Zou Shuang, and was even able to save the life of King Wei Jingtou, this must have been a great achievement for the Kingdom of Wei. Therefore, according to the agreement between Su Li and Jing Ke, the matter of cooperation would naturally be valued by King Wei. But King Wei Jingtong was a man who liked to talk, and he was extremely fond of Wei Qi and Xu Jia, so he gave the matter to both of them for discussion.
Wei Qi and Xu Jia Ben had a side with Su Li, so of course they wouldn't do their best. However, since King Wei had the order, the two of them couldn't refuse it so they had no choice but to accept this matter. Of course, due to the face of King Wei, Wei Qi and Xujia gave up on their previous self-preservation views and finally agreed to Su Li's cooperation. As the leading faction, Su Li's Party finally became the leading political party in the country.
In order to thank Yan Guo envoy Jing Ke for facilitating his contribution, Su Li personally sent people to invite Jing Ke and the others to a banquet and set up a banquet in his mansion. When Thief Sheng and the others heard of this, they were naturally overjoyed, and early in the morning they chatted and laughed with Zhu Hai, excitedly going to attend the banquet.
"Brother Quanzi, do you think we should go to the banquet dressed in these rough clothes, or should we change into the luxurious clothes bestowed by King Wei?" With one hand holding a set of brocade robes, and the other holding onto his own clothes, he continuously wandered in front of Jing Ke, asking questions nonstop.
"Heh heh, didn't you come here wearing the same plain clothes as before?" Why bother yourself now? " Zhu Hai asked with a smile as he saw that Thief Rise up and down didn't know what to do.
"Hey, it was different before. Before, we were just mere envoys that were looked down upon by the entire Wei Kingdom, but now that we have saved King Wei's life and received his reward, which envoy from the entire Wei Kingdom does not know of our Yan Kingdom? Furthermore, right now, we are even being treated as important guests by Doctor Su. You specially arranged a feast for us, of course you should pay more attention to this. " When Thief Sheng heard Zhu Hai's question, he immediately gave an explanation.
After saying that, he turned to look at Jing Ke, wanting his suggestions. But Jing Ke just sat there with a smile on his face, not answering.
Seeing that Jing Ke didn't give him any advice, his mouth immediately pouted, and he lost interest in Jing Ke, but instead turned around and saw Gong Zhuang Rong, so he immediately became happy again. He ran straight to her side and said: "Everyone says that women have better eyesight, Miss Rong, can you help me see which one is more suitable for me to wear?"
Gong Zhuang Rong looked at the large group of thieves, but imitated the pleading look of a child. She found it funny, so she cleared her throat and replied, "I think it's better for you to wear your coarse clothing, senior Jigong."
After hearing this, Thief Sheng was confused, "Why?"
"Think about it, Senior, since you are a descendant of the Thief Clan, of course you have to have the status of the Thief Clan. Look at the Sect Leaders of the various families. If you can wear your clothes and go to Doctor Su's mansion for dinner, then everyone in the world will know your Thief Clan. If you change into a luxurious robe, who would be able to recognize you as a descendant of the Thief Clan? " "It's okay, it's okay," Gong LuoRong said in a serious tone.
"That's right, that's right. Lady Rong is right. Then I'll wear this pirate outfit, and let everyone see my true colors." When Thief Sheng heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. It was as if the top of his head had been opened, he immediately threw away the brocade robe in his hands, and kept looking at his tattered and coarse clothes, as he said happily.
Seeing this expression, everyone could not help but secretly laugh. They looked at each other but did not say anything.
Just at this moment, the waiter who was outside the door arrived. He shouted loudly, "Doctor Su, the banquet has been prepared. Esteemed guests from Yan Guo, please leave for the banquet immediately."
When Jing Ke heard the message from the attendant, he raised his voice and replied, "Please respond, envoy. We'll organize ourselves a bit, and then we'll come."
"Okay." After hearing Jing Ke's reply, the attendant outside replied and went back to pass on the message.
After that servant left, Jing Ke looked at the surrounding people, his face revealing a calm expression. He smiled at everyone, unhurriedly saying, "What are you waiting for, let's go."
Everyone cupped their fists towards Jing Ke, then took their belongings and followed Jing Ke to head out of Su Li's residence.
As the senior doctor of the Wei Kingdom, Su Li was not as luxurious as Wei Qi's faction. Therefore, the feast he set up was relatively simple. Other than some sake, there was nothing else. He had originally thought that he could take advantage of this chance to have a hearty feast, but who knew that this wine and food would be so mediocre? Therefore, his original interest had been halved. As for the others, they were already used to the hardships of travelling in the martial arts world, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
When Su Li saw Jing Ke leading the way, he hurriedly lifted his long sleeves and walked towards the doorstep. Only when they were close to Jing Ke did he clasp his fist and greet him. "Envoy Jing is here to visit. Su Li is unable to take care of everything. Envoy Jing, please forgive me."
"Doctor Su is very kind. Jing Ke appreciates it. I've come to disturb you." When Jing Ke saw Su Li being so courteous, he immediately cupped his fist and replied.
"Hey, Envoy Jing, what kind of words are those? If it were not for you saving King Wei and gaining the appreciation of King Wei, how could I, Su Li, have succeeded in admonishing him?" As Su Li finished speaking to Jing Ke, he raised his hand to signal for everyone to sit down, "I have a cup of wine, I would like to invite all the experts to come and take a seat."
Thief Sheng looked at the food on the table and couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This wine is really prepared." However, just as he spat out these words, he was pulled back by Xue Lun by his sleeve. He turned around and looked at Xue Lun, who shook his head at him with a solemn expression.
Thief Sheng knew that this was to prevent him from being too presumptuous, so he could only close his mouth and silently choose a wine case before sitting down.
However, what he didn't know was that the spot that he had casually chosen was the upper left side of the wine tables. The one on the upper left, in the social situation where the host and guest conversed, was the most respected seat that could only be occupied by guests with the highest status. In other words, it was originally a seat for Jing Ke. However, he was used to roaming the streets, so how could he understand the seating etiquette of these officials? Thus, he sat down on the platform without any hesitation.
When Su Li saw this action, he couldn't help but be startled in his heart. He turned his head around and asked Jing Ke with a puzzled expression, "This?"
Although Jing Ke had some sort of attitude when it came to occasions, he was, after all, still a prodigal son who roamed the world. Thus, he was unable to understand the meaning behind Su Li's sudden turn to question him, and his face instantly appeared to be at a loss.
On the other hand, Gong Zhuang Rong could see the doubt on Su Li's face, and she immediately chuckled towards Su Li: "It's fine, it's fine, my son is always polite and virtuous, he's never bothered by this low status. Back then, when the Mausoleum Lord Wei Wuji welcomed the Yimen Marquis, he did not care about his status and gave Zuo Xi Xu to Hou Sheng, right?"
When Su Li heard this, he immediately came to a realization. He immediately cupped his fists and bowed to Jing Ke, "Envoy Jing is indeed worthy of being called a hero amongst men. To be able to act so disrespectfully and without care, it's no wonder you were able to lead this group of experts to help out. This really makes me extremely ashamed."
However, he was also a smart person. He knew that it was Gong LuoRong who had secretly helped him out, so he followed Su Li's words and said in a humble tone, "I dare not accept it."
However, when Su Li saw that Jing Ke was actually so modest, he felt even more ashamed. He immediately turned his head towards the servants below his door and explained, "From today onwards, as long as there are guests at the door, there is no need to specially reserve seats for me for the upper left. Just let the guests take care of everything."
"Okay." After the attendant heard Su Li's explanation, he nodded and agreed to remember it.
After that, everyone took their seats, and the usual rules and customs were gone, as long as everyone sat in their own seats. Jing Ke was also completely unaware of the rules, so he found a remote area and sat down.
After Su Li sat down, he was about to raise his head and exchange greetings with Jing Ke when he suddenly discovered that Jing Ke was sitting rather far away from his seat of honor, and his eyes seemed to be staring at the screen behind him, his face showing that he was deep in thought. A question arose in his heart, and he happily asked Jing Ke, "I wonder what could possibly cause Jing Ke to be so interested?"
Jing Ke stared at the screen in detail, and actually didn't notice Su Li's question for a moment. He waited for the male loser Rong beside him to lightly knock on the wine case, then he returned to his senses. When he carefully recalled the sounds and movements around him, he realized that Su Li had asked this question.
"Oh, Doctor Su, please don't take offense. Jing Ke only wants to know who was drawn on the screen." As Jing Ke spoke, his gaze once again moved to the screen behind him, carefully sizing it up.
Su Li followed Jing Ke's words and line of sight, and also carefully looked at the screen behind him. He saw that the drawing on the screen was extremely simple, with only a few strokes made in ink, and the drawing was of an old man wearing a black robe, straddling the back of a dark water buffalo, looking very relaxed and happy.
When Su Li saw the portrait, he finally understood. Thus, he leisurely replied, "This is my foster brother, Su Dai. Previously, he had been preoccupied with matters of the Yan Dynasty, but later quit his post because he liked life in the fields. He no longer kept in touch with the government. Before he left, I ordered the painter to draw a simple portrait of him. As for the screen at the back of the hall, when you have nothing to do, you can dispel your worries.
"Oh, I see." When Jing Ke heard Su Li's words, he couldn't help but nod his head, but the expression on his face was still in deep thought.
The reason why Jing Ke was so interested in these few ink paintings was because the person in the painting was too similar to the old man he had met before, the nomad herding cattle. Moreover, at this moment, the old man had already predicted that the trip to the Wei Empire would have some twists and turns. Before he left, he had said something like, "Who is the leader of this chaos?" The first in the front. Now that Jing Ke thought about it carefully, didn't his words say that Zou Shuang had caused trouble for Wei Jingtian? Even though this old man was hundreds of miles away from Wei Daliang, he could see through everything that was happening in the country of Wei. This was why Jing Ke was so focused.
"That brother of his must be an expert who can understand the laws of the world." After Jing Ke thought about it carefully, he nodded and continued.
