The magistrate's eyes lit up and his breathing became heavy."Tell me more details! Come, come, come…take a seat!"
Gao Qi suddenly felt that his future was in sight. He bowed and thanked him. He sat close to him and said,"My lord, please think about it: no matter how powerful the Dragon Slaying Saber is, it is only a divine weapon. Even if it kills all the people in the world, it may not be able to make the people in the world submit. Then where did this command of the world come from? Naturally, it was because there was a hidden mystery behind it. I heard that the Dragon Slaying Saber has a topographic map engraved on it. In my opinion, it's a treasure map. "As for this treasure…" Gao Qi seemed to be keeping him in suspense, but his mind was actually working at high speed. Where did the treasure come from? It couldn't be too ridiculous, but it couldn't be too real. It was best if it was real or fake. Only then would people be convinced.
The magistrate was tickled by Gao Qi's words and asked,""That makes sense. Continue."
Although Gao Qi was anxious, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he put on a faint smile, as if he had a plan in mind. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. Gao Qi recalled a past event that Zhang Zhengchang had once mentioned to him. When the Mongolian army approached Xiangyang City, the people guarding the city were the hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong. The two of them felt that the city could not be defended, so they gathered the power of the martial arts world and attacked the Mongolian army at night. They might be able to kill the Great Khan again. Who knew that the leader of the army was Kublai Khan, who was extremely scheming and cautious. As a result, the night raid naturally failed and they lost a large number of experts. In the end, the city was broken and the people died. Guo Jing and Huang Rong had fulfilled their lifelong promise.
The people were here, the city was here! The city was destroyed!
This matter was widely spread in Jianghu. The Jianghu chivalrous men admired the hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong. Even the Yuan Court respected the two of them. After the two of them died, Hu Bilie gave Guo Jing a grand burial on account of his old friendship with his ancestors. This was rare among the Mongols, so the Imperial Court had heard of it.
Gao Qi smiled and nodded." Back then, the Mongol Emperor sent his troops to Xiangyang City. The one guarding the city was Guo Jing, a wild man in the Jianghu. He was quite famous in the Jianghu. He knew that he couldn't stop our Mongolian army, so he gathered all the strange people in the world and collected countless treasures to plan for the future. He had hidden these treasures in an extremely secret place. He had engraved the location of the treasures on the Dragon Slaying Saber so that he could use it against the Mongol Emperor in the future. Who knew that the heavens would not go as he wished? He died in Xiangyang City, and this batch of treasures was lost. Fortunately, there was still the topographic map on the Dragon Slaying Saber. All these years, the Jianghu people had fought to the death for this Dragon Slaying Saber, not for anything else, but for this treasure.”
What he said was quite logical, and the magistrate listened with great interest. Everyone was stunned, and they could not help but think that if they obtained this Dragon Slaying Saber, they would never let others know.
"What about the Dragon Slaying Saber? Where is it?" The magistrate asked excitedly, as if he already had that huge treasure.
Gao Qi smiled,"I'm just afraid that you won't be greedy, or you won't be able to escape my grasp." However, he said," It's difficult, difficult, difficult…This Dragon Slaying Saber is a peerless divine weapon. People in Jianghu are all eager to obtain it. If you want to obtain the Dragon Slaying Saber, you'll have to put in a lot of effort."”
The magistrate heard a few words and said impatiently,"Then what should we do? Could it be that he didn't want the treasure he had obtained? Tell me, how many men do you need?”
Gao Qi was very excited, but he slowly said,""There is only one person in the world who knows the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber. As long as you have this person in your hands, would you be afraid that he would not tell you the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber? As the saying went, one was not afraid of not speaking, but afraid of being difficult to do. This man was an Altar Master of the Heavenly Eagle Cult. His name was Bai Guishou. He was not a big deal. He was currently in Yuan Zhou City. As long as the lord ordered a team of people, he would be able to capture him easily.”
After hearing Gao Qi's lies, the magistrate felt that as long as he took the White Turtle Longevity, the secret of the Dragon Slaying Saber would definitely belong to him. At that time, he would enjoy endless wealth. If he showed some filial piety to the higher-ups, he would definitely be promoted. It was just a matter of time. Thinking of this, the magistrate could not wait any longer. He felt that Gao Qi was a lucky star bestowed by the heavens, so he praised him and finally let him lead a team to capture Bai Guishou.
However, although Gao Qi was eager to show off, he was not stupid. He had been in the Righteous Sect for quite some time, so he was naturally aware of the fearsomeness of the Jianghu people. If it was Zhang Pingchang, he would not be able to do anything to him even if he faced tens of millions of troops alone. He muttered,"Milord, although this Bai Guishou is nothing impressive, those self-proclaimed chivalrous men who came with him are not to be trifled with. Do you have a few experts in your residence? He didn't expect to win against others, as long as he could stall them.”
When the magistrate heard Gao Qi's words, he recalled that many officials in the officialdom had been killed by the " ruffians " of the Jianghu. These people were all outlaws who did not care about their lives, so he did not want to hold it against them. After thinking for a while, he said,"Now that you mention it, I remember. A few days ago, the White Lotus Society had caused a great disturbance on Yuan Zhou's land. The imperial court had sent a troop of military horses here. I heard that the leader is an expert. His subordinates are also very capable. At this moment, he is in my mansion. It's fine. I'll ask him for help.”As he spoke, he brought Gao Qi to the backyard.
After all, Gao Qi had been in the martial arts world for some time. Although his skills were average, he had been with an expert like Zhang Zhengfan for a long time and had some insight. After seeing the person the magistrate mentioned, Gao Qi's heart skipped a beat and his breathing became heavy. The closer he got, the harder it became to breathe. A man in his forties, with a long and thin face, was sitting in a pavilion in the garden. He looked up at the moon in the sky with a faint smile on his face. He had high cheekbones and a tall and slender figure, but he did not give off the slightest feeling of weakness. His eyes were unusually bright. The first thing Gao Qi thought of when he saw him was a ferocious beast. Only a ferocious beast's body could hide such shocking power. If he made a move, he could easily snap his neck. This was Gao Qi's second feeling.
There were four people standing beside him, all of whom were strong and capable. Seeing the arrival of the magistrate, they didn't move at all. It seemed that the most important official in Yuan Zhou City was no different from a dead person in their eyes. It was also the gaze of a beast, which could make many people feel that death was not something difficult to accept. At least, Gao Qi was not willing to face their eyes.
Then, Gao Qi saw the bloody knives in their hands. They seemed to be connected to their hands. They could only be removed by cutting off their arms.
The magistrate did not even dare to breathe loudly when he saw that person. If it was not for the sake of Tu Long's preservation, he would definitely not have come to see this person. He stood quietly three to four feet away, not daring to speak.
After waiting for a long while, the man suddenly said,"The magistrate is also in the mood to look at the moon?" It's really rare."
Gao Qi gulped. If Zhang Fan was the God of Swords, he felt like a God of War who was born to fight. With great difficulty, he told the whole story, but he did not mention the treasure. Such a lie could fool a money-grubber like the magistrate, but in front of this person, Gao Qi did not dare to test whether his lie would work.
The man quietly listened to Gao Qi's story and closed his eyes. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly asked,"Have you seen Zhang Pingfan before?"
Gao Qi didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned Zhang Pingchang. He nodded honestly and said,""I've seen him, but it's rare. He's been in closed door cultivation these years.'”
"It's the Nine Heavens Lightning Attracting Technique." "Have you seen him draw his sword?" The man asked faintly.”
Gao Qi suddenly understood why he was asking these questions and said,""No, when he was in the Righteous Sect, he had already put his sword away. He remembered that he had once sighed,"Many people use swords, but how many people truly know how to use a sword?" He really wanted to see Zhang Sanfeng holding the True Martial Sword, but it was a pity.'He had never used a sword since then.”
The man nodded thoughtfully and finally asked,""Zhang Zhengfan has a son, Zhang Yuchu, who inherited 70% of his father's teachings. His sword art must be extraordinary. Is he in Yuan Zhou City now?”
Gao Qi nodded." That's right. His swordsmanship is the best among the disciples of Zhengyi Sect. However, his younger brother, Zhang Yuqing, has recently surpassed his elder brother." When Zhang Zhengchang was guiding Zhang Yuqing in sword practice, he said happily,"'The sword marrow trains the heart, and the sword technique trains the body. You have mastered the technique of the heart and body.'”
"The sword essence trains the heart, and the sword technique trains the body. Zhang Pingfan was indeed not simple.”That person suddenly smiled and slowly stood up. He slowly took a step forward, each step giving off a feeling of being as steady as Mount Tai. When he stepped on the ground, he even felt the entire backyard shake. Of course, this was an illusion. It wasn't the backyard that was shaking. It was the heart of the observer.
"You…?" Gao Qi's heart trembled and he said in horror.”The magistrate who came with him fell to the ground, his face ashen.
"Since you provided me with important information, I can promise you to visit Zhang Yuchu and tell you about the White Lotus Society.”That person only took one step forward, but he was already less than three feet away from Gao Qi. However, it felt as if he had never moved. In fact, he had been here since they met."I'm Qi Zhan. I'll let my four disciples go with you.”After saying that, Gao Qi only saw a faint shadow in front of him-Qi Zhan had actually disappeared into thin air.
It was only at this moment that the four of them seemed to be angry. One of them asked coldly,"When are we leaving?"
"Now…now!" Gao Qi felt like he had heard the name Qi Zhan somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember. After turning a corner with the other four people, Gao Qi suddenly thought of a name, which gave him a fright. Qi Zhan-Heavenly Blade Qi Zhan!
