Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1020 News (Reward plus extra)
Moreover, this princess of Chu had been afraid of heights since she was a child. Even if she occasionally mustered up the courage to fly the sword, she could only fly a few feet above the ground. The harder it was to fly the sword, the more difficult it became. It was only after she heard that Xu Fengnian had gone to Beimang that she began to really take flying the sword seriously.

Fly the sword across the mountain top; Fly the sword across the river.

His momentum was like a rainbow. His realm improved by leaps and bounds, and even Cao Changqing was shocked and amazed.

This is not only due to Jiang Ni's talent, but also the effect of luck.

In the battle of Xileibi, Ye Baikui, the pillar of Western Chu, was killed. In the imperial city, all the important regents, including Cao Changqing and the old grand tutor Sun Xiji, a total of nine people, saw with their own eyes that his majesty affixed the imperial seal, which was recognized as the most significant among the nine kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, on the back of the little princess. The brilliance of the seal, which symbolized the destiny of a country, then disappeared, became dim, and became no different from an ordinary piece of jade, and all of it was transferred to her body.

During this period of time, Cao Changqing took Jiang Ni to travel between Xileibi and the Western Chu Imperial Tomb. His purpose was to secretly transfer his realm and the remaining energy of Western Chu to Jiang Ni.

This is how the scene happened where Xu Fengnian was amazed by the talent of the little clay figurine.

As for Xu Xiao's words asking him to be careful of Xu Tianjiao.

Frankly speaking, Xu Fengnian was quite surprised that his third brother, who he thought was pedantic and homely, would leave the house and come to Beimang.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't surprised. I just didn't understand why Xu Xiao asked me to be careful of him and even had to trouble Cao Wudi, a land immortal, to personally tell him.

Although I didn't understand the meaning, I knew that the matter was of great importance.

He immediately asked Cao Changqing, "May I ask, sir, during your trip north this time, when you passed through Beiliang, did you hear any interesting things?"

Cao Changqing did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "If we talk about things, there is indeed one. Before leaving, your brother personally killed the steward of his own garden. This matter has spread throughout the entire Liangzhou City. What is even more unexpected is that the steward is actually a master of the second level."

"This..." Xu Fengnian was also shocked when he heard the news.

The reason is that the information hidden behind this is so shocking.

Xu Fengnian actually knew that the steward was from the Fushuifang.

He thought that his master Li Yishan had arranged for him to be by Xu Tianjiao's side to secretly protect his third brother who was not very strong.

Now it seems that it is just for close surveillance.

Thinking back to the time I spent with Xu Tianjiao, I felt a chill down my spine.

The two of them grew up together, and Xu Tianjiao was able to hide it so deeply that he didn't even notice the slightest flaw.

Even the shrewd Li Yishan could sense that there was something wrong with Xu Tianjiao just by relying on his intuition.

Xu Fengnian knew that Xu Tianjiao's coming to Beimang would definitely bring new changes to his trip.

They come, the security.

Xu Fengnian, who was in the heart of Beimang, could only fight against the enemy with his troops and block the water with earth.

After a brief reunion with Xu Fengnian, Jiang Ni was about to leave with Cao Changqing.

Their current status does not allow them to have a romantic relationship.

Before leaving, Cao Changqing told Xu Fengnian two things.

The first thing is that after Xu Fengnian's whereabouts were revealed, two people from Beimang were hired to kill him.

Cao Changqing only knew that among the ten magicians there was a blind female musician. This woman, like Han Renmao from the inner palace of the Liyang Dynasty, was best at using her finger to kill the King Kong.

The second thing is that Deng Tai'a has already entered Beimang.

All this came from three months ago, when Deng Tai'a fought with Cao Changqing at the ruins of Xilei Wall.

After that battle, Cao Changqing took the opportunity to break through to the land of immortals.

After seeing this, Deng Tai'a felt that fighting with Cao Changqing was too boring, so he set his sights on Tuoba Bodhisattva, who was ranked second on the martial arts ranking list.

Deng Tai'a's entourage from Beimang did not fight against Wang Xianzhi as before. They just used the Lord of Wudi City as a whetstone to sharpen their swordsmanship.

There are only two results for this move, either death at the hands of Tuoba Bodhisattva, or survival to become a sword immortal. Deng Tai'a's swordsmanship is only used to kill people. If he becomes a sword immortal who proves his way with his swordsmanship, then he will have a real chance to shake Wang Xianzhi's throne as the best in the world.

Since he chose to give all twelve flying swords to Xu Fengnian, it means that he has already realized his mistake.

When Deng Tai'a really doesn't need the peach blossom branch anymore, people will no longer dare to say that Wang Xianzhi and Tuoba Bodhisattva have joined forces, and he can easily kill the next eight people.

If Xu Fengnian continues to go deeper into Beimang, maybe he can take a look.

After separating from Cao Changqing, he turned to the border between Beimang Longyao Prefecture and Orange Prefecture. After meeting a group of scholars and wealthy women who were out for fun, he came to a mixed military and civilian town on the border of Orange Prefecture.

According to the plan, he met with Su Su, the prince of the destroyed Western Shu, and made a secret agreement with him to return to Western Shu to restore the country, and use Western Shu as the second line of defense after Beiliang could not resist the invasion of Beimang.

It was also during this period that Xu Fengnian fought with Xue Songguan, a female zither player from Beimangmang who came to kill him.

After killing two assassins who wanted to take advantage of the situation, he fought with Xue Songguan and both of them were injured.

At the same time, in a small teahouse in Beimang.

The girl Hehe, who had attempted to assassinate Xu Fengnian several times before, was sitting on a bench at the door of the store, carrying a stalk of sunflowers and in a daze.

There is no sign that he is ready to chop off customers' heads at any time.

There is also a bald parrot in the museum that likes to call people "grandpa", which is also the reason why the teahouse's business is so poor.

The shop owner, Huang Longshi, was sitting at a table with three wooden boxes filled with chess pieces in front of him.

Two boxes contain black and white pieces, and one box contains colorful glass pieces.

Just seeing him arranging the pieces there, placing and collecting them constantly, if one didn't know much one would think there was something wrong with this shopkeeper.

As time goes by, there are more and more black and white pieces on the table, and fewer and fewer corresponding glass pieces.

At this time, a man walked into the teahouse where business was slow, walked straight to the table opposite Huang Longshi, and sat down.

This action startled the sleepy girl, Hehe, and she looked at the person in front of her in surprise.

"Eh~" The girl felt that this young man was somewhat familiar, yet somewhat strange.

The young man took action, took out a glass stone from the chess box, and placed it on the densely black and white area on the table.

Huang Longshi looked up at the young man across the table, his eyes sharp as if piercing straight into people's hearts, and said, "This is the position of the chess player."

The young man replied in his unique calm and indifferent voice: "I know."

Huang Longshi continued to ask: "How do you feel?"

The young man placed his hands on his knees and patted them slowly, "It's hard to sit."

"You don't have to sit down."

"Sitting is better than standing."

Huang Longshi picked up the black and white pieces in the chess box and continued to place the pieces. "Is this the reason why you ruined my chess game?"

The young man opposite also picked up the colorful glass pieces from the chess box and followed Huang Longshi in making his move. "A single person's chess game is nothing more than a prison made of lines on the ground."

Huang Longshi said as he played chess: "This game took me quite a while."

The young man responded, his hands moving slowly but firmly, "A boring game of chess will only result in a boring outcome. I'm here to keep the game going."

Thanks to my book friend Muxi for the huge reward.
