Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 226 Fortunately, the bet was right

Zhao Mu now knelt down to beg Wu Xingyun, and then took Li Qiushui away. This is just his plan.

It’s not that Zhao Mu didn’t want to kill Li Qiushui. In the future, he will pacify Liao and destroy Xia, and the biggest obstacle to destroying Xia is Li Qiushui, a top master. Compared to Wu Xingyun, Zhao Mu wanted Li Qiu Shui to die.

It's just that the person who killed Li Qiushui must not be himself.

Zhao Mu was indeed tempted when Wu Xingyun ordered him to do it. But after thinking carefully about Wu Xingyun's words, he felt that there was fraud in them. So I had to give up.

One of them, Wu Xingyun, has now recovered his skills, judging from Li Qiushui's previous reaction. She was absolutely invincible to Wu Xingyun in his full state and could only run away. Even if Wu Xingyun's true energy is exhausted, he can still take her life after the true energy recovers slightly. There is no need to be so anxious with his own hands.

In Wu Xingyun's words, the promise of huge profits seemed to seduce him, as if he was deliberately letting Li Qiu Shui die in his hands. Zhao Mu thought this was abnormal.

The second reason is that Zhao Mu wants to further win Wu Xingyun's trust. I had already set up a "loyal minister and filial son" persona in front of Wu Xingyun before. If I didn't go all the way to the dark side, I'm afraid Wu Xingyun would think that he had other agendas.

Before the Xiaoyao faction, Ding Chunqiu killed his master, and later, there were thirty-six holes and seventy-two islands who rebelled. Wu Xingyun was another person who valued Gangchang very much and hated those who deceived their superiors and destroyed their ancestors. Zhao Mu felt that if Li Qiushui really died in his hands, even though Wu Xingyun would still be kind to him and give him all the benefits she said. But I will definitely be wary of myself in the future.

People of this era often attach great importance to ethics. Especially Jianghu people, they not only talk about "loyalty, filial piety and loyalty", but if they want to gain a foothold in Jianghu, they must also practice it openly.

If he really beat Li Qiushui, the cheap master's wife, to death with one slap, his actions would be the same as that of Ding Chunqiu. Even taking advantage of others' danger to be even more despicable than him.

In this way, Li Qiushui was kidnapped and then left to fend for herself. Zhao Mu felt it was the safest way. In this way, he could maintain his image without having to bear the grave crime of killing his master's wife.

Secondly, he can also sell favors to Li Qiu Shui. Now that she is helping Li Qiushui in this critical time, even if Li Qiu Shui does not surrender the land, he can still get some benefits, such as the skills she has inherited.

Zhao Mu thought carefully before deciding not to kill Li Qiushui but to rescue her.

However, it is true that Zhao Mu made the right bet. Killing Li Qiushui was indeed the final test given to him by Wu Xingyun.

Wu Xingyun had always wanted to kill Li Qiu Shui because she had a grudge against Li Qiu Shui for disfigurement and murder of her husband. Wu Xingyun was very afraid that Li Qiushui would take advantage of her to take advantage of her dissipation of power and be unable to fight back like this time to take revenge and kill her. Therefore, in order to protect himself, Wu Xingyun planned to kill Li Qiushui first.

But now for Wu Xingyun, whether to kill Li Qiushui or not is not very important.

Wu Xingyun has completed the third turn of the Bahuang Liuhe Self-respecting Skill, and the next turn will have to wait until thirty years later.

Although the martial arts of Xiaoyao Sect can make people live longer and remain youthful forever, it does not mean that they will not die. When the time comes, even if you have unparalleled martial arts skills, you will still end up in vain.

Wu Xingyun couldn't guarantee that he could live for another thirty years, let alone Li Qiushui.

What's more, Zhao Mu's painting also solved the knot in his heart. Now whether to kill Li Qiu Shui or not is not very important to Wu Xingyun. But Wu Xingyun still wanted to take this opportunity to use Li Qiushui to conduct a final inspection of Zhao Mu. With Ding Chunqiu's lesson learned, if Zhao Mu really beat Li Qiu Shui to death with one palm, Wu Xingyun would still be kind to him on the surface, but he would also be more wary. The relationship between the two of them in the future will be just that of a superior and a subordinate.

But now Zhao Mu's performance makes Wu Xingyun very satisfied. At least this time, she felt that the apprentice Wu Yazi had accepted was very suitable to her taste. With Ding Chunqiu's ruthlessness and intelligence, and Su Xinghe's loyalty and filial piety, this can be said to be a perfect combination of their strengths. From now on, Wu Xingyun wants to train Zhao Mu as his successor.

Zhao Mu and Li Qiushui stayed in this wilderness all afternoon.

After an afternoon of breathing adjustment, Li Qiushui's complexion improved, but her internal injuries still had not recovered. She couldn't help but cough violently during her lucky break.

Seeing this, Zhao Mu asked: "How is Master? Are you seriously injured? In this case, why don't I carry you back to the Central Plains? Senior Brother and Doctor Xue are the best doctors in the world, so why don't you let them see you?" What do you think?"

Li Qiu Shui shook his head and said, "No need. That kid Su Xinghe can't heal my current internal injuries. I can only take care of these internal injuries slowly."

Zhao Mu said: "If this is the case, then I will find a secluded place for Master to heal her injuries. But Master may be looking for us now, and I am afraid that we will not be able to return to Xixia Kingdom. By the way! Master, I will take you to Dali How about the blessed land of Langhuan in the country? That is where you and Master live in seclusion. I will see there."

Before Zhao Mu finished speaking, Li Qiu Shui immediately interrupted: "No. The blessed land of Langhuan is far away in Wuliang Mountain in Dali, and the Wuliang Sword Sect in Wuliang Mountain is the minion of Master Qi. If we go there, wouldn't we be surrendering ourselves?" A snare? What’s more, I don’t want to go back to that place in my life.”

Zhao Mu saw that Li Qiu Shui didn't want to go, and then continued: "In that case, I will take you back to the Central Plains, my wife. My mansion is very spacious, and my wife can recuperate at my house."

Li Qiushui laughed when he heard this and said: "Haha, you kid. Don't think that I don't know what your plans are. Now that you have captured me, the concubine of Xixia, back to the Song Dynasty, I'm afraid you can invite me to your little emperor. It's a success! When the time comes, you can use me as a pledge and let your stupid brother pay a huge price to exchange for my old mother."

Zhao Mu then said with a silly smile: "I didn't expect that you would see through Master's wife, who is so smart as ice and snow. It's true that I asked you to go back to the Song Dynasty to recuperate, and it's true that I want to take credit from you. If I invite Master's wife back, maybe the emperor will Promote me to the rank of king."

Li Qiushui also smiled and replied: "This is called Zhi Zi Mo Ruo Mu."

Although Zhao Mu felt funny when he heard this, he did not refute it. Then Zhao Mu corrected him: "It's just that the master's wife said one thing wrong."

Li Qiushui asked, "Oh? What did I say wrong?"

Zhao Mu said: "That is the relationship between the child and the Xixia King. If you think about it now, the two of us dare not call ourselves brothers." Then Zhao Mu pretended to be shy and said, "My uncle and I were hiding in that ice cellar before. At that time, my uncle was afraid that I, a hot-blooded boy, would be lonely and unbearable, so he stole a woman from the palace to accompany me. At first, I thought that the woman was the concubine of the Xixia King, or a maid in the palace. But later, my uncle stole a girl from the palace to accompany me. But Bo told me that the woman was..."

Li Qiushui asked: "Is it Yinchuan?"

Zhao Mu nodded awkwardly and said, "My child really didn't know this before. As a result, it caused a big mistake and messed up the etiquette. Please forgive me, Master Wife."

Li Qiu Shui smiled and said: "Haha, this is not a mess of etiquette. Back then I..." Seeing that he was about to lose his words, Li Qiu Shui quickly put back what he said. Then Li Qiushui said: "It's nothing. Although you and I have the status of master and disciple, we are not biological mother and son after all. You have a prominent status, but you are worthy of that child from Yinchuan. Little Mu'er, have you ever been married? If not If so, I can make the decision and let Yinchuan marry you."
