Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Three days later, as promised, Gu Xu and Zhao Yan went to pay homage to the grave of Dayan's late princess, Qu Qingqiu.

Qu Qingqiu's tomb is located on a lush hill on the outskirts of Jicheng.

Its scale is not large, there are no long gods, and there are no exquisitely carved stone beasts.

There is only a tall mound and a slightly rusty incense burner.

It doesn't look like the cemetery of a duke's wife at all, but the graves of ordinary people.

Zhao Yan did not bring any followers.

At this moment, only the two of them stood alone in front of the tombstone, listening to the breeze rustling the woods.

"Back then, my mother died for no apparent reason in Luojing City," Zhao Yan said softly to Gu Xu, "When my father held her funeral, he didn't dare to say anything. I also complained that he didn't miss the old relationship. But now I think about it again. , maybe at that time, he had already guessed that Emperor Tianxing was the real murderer."

After all, she knelt down in front of the tombstone and kowtowed three times.

After getting up, he took out three sticks of incense from the storage magic weapon and inserted them on the incense burner.

The blue smoke rose quickly and floated into the blue sky.

"Mom, I'm here to see you again."

After a brief silence, Zhao Yan continued to look at the tombstone and murmured.

"I finally know who the murderer who killed you was. He is too strong, and I can't beat him. Zhao Changying was promoted to the eighth realm, but he also lost to him.

"But I keep trying.

"If there is a chance in the future, I will make him pay with blood."

Gu Xu stood beside her and listened quietly without interrupting.

It was clear to him that this was a private conversation between mother and daughter.

However, at this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly brought the topic to him.

"The one who accompanied me to see you today is mine...a very good friend of mine," she pointed at Gu Xu, "his name is Gu Xu, and he is the leader of this year's Luoshui Conference.

"When I went to Luojing this year, I originally wanted to look for 'Flint'. But when I arrived at the royal vault, I found that 'Flint' had been broken into pieces. Finally, with his help, I successfully awakened the bloodline strength.

"He is a very good person. Not only is he good-looking, but he is also very talented in cultivation. Before he was 20 years old, he had the cultivation base of the fourth realm and the attainment of the master-level talisman. In the same realm, even I can beat But him.

"But now, he was inexplicably accused of 'treason' by the Emperor Tianxing, chased and killed by the Daqi court, and almost died in Jingxing... If you have a soul in the sky, you must bless him escaped this disaster."

Zhao Yan's words were undoubtedly beyond Gu Xu's expectation, and he was quite embarrassed to praise him.

But when he saw her clasping her hands and fingers in front of her chest, her eyes were clear and sincere, he was slightly moved.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yan stood there in silence for a long time, then stretched out her hand and pulled Gu Xu's sleeve: "Let's go back."

Gu Xu nodded.

The two took one last look at the tombstone, then turned around and walked side by side towards the palace of Jicheng.

Walk down the hill, through the woods, and listen to the rustling of leaves.

Suddenly, their fingertips accidentally touched each other.

Before Gu Xu could react, Zhao Yan grabbed his wrist tightly without warning, and then touched palms and interlocked fingers.

The warm and smooth touch came from his hands continuously.

Gu Xu stopped in his tracks, momentarily at a loss, thinking about whether he should reject such a move from her.

Just when he was flustered, Zhao Yan suddenly chuckled again and let go of his hand.

"I thought you were an engaged person, so you should be mature and stable in this respect, and not panic," she said leisurely, "I didn't expect you to be like an innocent boy, just tease you a little, and your heart will be messed up. "

"I'm not messing around," Gu Xu denied with a calm face, "I just didn't expect that someone as smart as Ms. Zhao would be fooled by my acting skills."

He wouldn't admit to death on such an occasion that he was a virgin for two lives who still had his first kiss.

"Really?" Zhao Yan glanced at him sideways.

Maybe it's because her fox eyes are too charming. When she looks at people with squinted eyes, it makes people feel like she is winking.

…………

Two days later, two envoys from Daqi quietly arrived in Jicheng and appeared in front of the gate of Dayan Palace.

They politely claimed that they wanted to ask to see King Yan.

"They called our king 'Yan Wang'."

"Could it be that they have given up dealing with us and intend to recognize Dayan as an independent country?"

The guards outside the palace gate were full of thoughts.

Not daring to delay for a moment, they immediately rushed into the palace and reported the matter to Zhao Changying.

Hearing the news, Zhao Changying acted extraordinarily calm, as if this matter was completely within his expectations.

He immediately ordered to meet these envoys of Da Qi in the main hall of Dayan Palace—that is, the reception room of the former Duke of Yan's mansion.

At this time, compared to a few days ago, the blood on Zhao Changying's face seemed to have faded a bit.

The guard couldn't help but asked with concern: "Your Majesty, your health is alright!"

"I'm in very good health now." Zhao Changying raised her head and straightened her collar. "At least, meeting two envoys is no problem at all."

"But--"

"—Stop talking nonsense. Da Qi sent envoys here to test our reality. If I show my timidity in front of them, then Dayan will be finished."

The guard immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "The king taught you the lesson."

"By the way, go and tell Gu Xu to wear a mask to attend today's court meeting," Zhao Changying continued, "If I'm not wrong, the reason why the envoys of Da Qi want to come to see me is because Most likely because of him."

"As you order, Your Majesty."

…………

On this day, Zhao Changying received the envoy of Qi in the main hall of the palace, and Gu Xu, wearing a black mask, mingled among many big Yan officials to watch.

In other words,,,..version. 】

He discovered that the envoys sent by Daqi were all his old acquaintances——

One is Que Juchang, a thousand households in Liaozhou Prefecture, and the other is Zhu Qiuyi, the commander-in-chief of Hedong Province.

The former used a hidden arrow to deal with him in Jingxing, while the latter, holding a halberd in his hand, drove him into a desperate situation with lightning-like and extremely terrifying speed.

After stepping into the palace, the eyes of the two Qi envoys kept scanning the surroundings—Gu Xu could guess that they must be looking for his trace.

But Gu Xu's black mask is really powerful.

Their eyes only stayed on him for a moment, and then moved away quickly, as if he was just an ordinary passerby with no sense of existence.

Then they walked up to Zhao Changying, bowed their hands and saluted him, and after saying some polite words, they stated their purpose straight to the point:

"We came to Dayan to capture the traitor Gu Xu."
