At noon, Xiao Li and his friends met the aloof lone ranger again.
He tied his horse to a pillar next to the inn and sat at a roadside wonton stall to eat wonton.
Because his temperament was so special, Wang Wanqing couldn't help but look at him again and again.
"Your Majesty, do you think he also went to the King's Heroes' Banquet?"
"This guy looks like a hidden master. I wonder if he can defeat Brother Rong."
Xiao Li didn't even raise his head: "Why don't you just ask Rong Qing about this question directly?"
Wang Wanqing immediately looked at Rong Qing, and Rong Qing replied directly: "They should be on par with each other."
It was Xiao Li's turn to be surprised. There were not many people who were as good as Rong Qing. He was truly a master.
"How did you determine that?"
Rong Qing: "I observed him for a long time last night. He has a steady lower body and a restrained aura. He is undoubtedly a master who has practiced martial arts for many years."
"As for the level of his kung fu, that can only be determined after a fight, but he's different."
Rong Qing motioned Xiao Li to look over: "Master, have you seen the sword?"
Xiao Li looked over and saw that the man had a sword on his back, but the sword was completely wrapped in black cloth, and even the hilt could not be seen.
"What does this reveal?"
Rong Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty, that is not a sword. If I am not mistaken, it should be a spear."
Xiao Li looked at the length and it didn't look like it.
Rong Qing knew it didn't look like it, so he immediately explained, "I've seen a spear before. It was ten feet long, but it could be split into three sections. The spear head was like a sword, and the six-foot stick at the back was not only detachable, but also retractable."
"That gun was the last work of Wu Kui, the top weapon forging master, before his death. He poured countless efforts into it and spent seven years to create it."
"It is said that the weapon's material was created by Master Wu by fusing eleven different types of ores, repeatedly purifying and forging them. The resulting raw material is incredibly hard, and it takes ten days of intense fire for it to be able to move half an inch."
"He originally intended to use this material to forge a sword, but in the end, to repay a favor to an old friend, he put all the materials into it and tailored a unique spear for his old friend."
"The spear, when used alone, is both a sword and a knife. Attached to a staff, it can be used like a long knife, capable of chopping off a horse's legs. The staff can be extended to become a spear ten feet long. On the battlefield, it can pierce through all armor with a single spear. It can kill gods and Buddhas alike. It was once the enemy's nightmare, and countless generals admired that spear."
"This gun is unique in the world and requires a unique technique to wield. It has become the company's unique symbol."
"His martial arts skills are quite impressive, and with this gun, he's like a god. If he can wield it skillfully, the difference between me and him should be pretty much the same."
Rong Qing made a pertinent comment, while Wang Wanqing sat up straight, looking at the person below in shock.
"Is he a member of the Chu family?"
Xiao Li really didn't understand this, but he didn't expect Wang Wanqing to know. "Tell me about it."
Wang Wanqing looked at Xiao Li strangely. How could His Majesty not have heard of the Chu family? But she did not ask, but explained.
"Your Majesty, the Chu family is a military family known alongside the Rong family as one of the two most powerful military families. One of them was a founding general and was granted the title of Marquis of Changying. The heads of the Chu family throughout the generations have all wielded a spear called 'Du', which is said to be an extremely powerful divine weapon."
"The Chu family has been responsible for guarding Tianmen Pass for generations, resisting the invasions of Yue State and Xiqi. Because the Chu family's spear skills are unpredictable, they can kill gods and Buddhas, making Yue State and Xiqi dare not provoke the Chu family. They were once known as the Divine Generals of the Northwest."
"However, more than a decade ago, when the late emperor was still alive, rumors suddenly spread that the Chu family had embezzled military funds and collaborated with the enemy and committed treason. Later, the Chu family's Marquis committed suicide to prove his innocence. The other Chu family members died in battle one after another, and the charges of treason were never proven. The title of Marquis of Changying was retained, but no one has returned for more than a decade. Everyone said that the Chu family was extinct."
This is why Rong Qing did not say with certainty that the man was a member of the Chu family.
He had seen the gun before and recognized it by instinct, but he also knew that all the Chu family members were dead, so he couldn't guarantee who was holding the gun.
Xiao Li finally perked up a bit. He really wanted to see the weapon that they talked about as so magical.
On the afternoon journey, the lone ranger in black followed behind, neither far nor close.
I feel like there's no ill intention, just passing through.
This journey led directly to King Xian's fiefdom - Changzhou.
Prince Xian is the youngest brother of the late emperor. He is only in his early forties this year, which is the prime of his life.
Changzhou borders Beicang and is not far from the State of Yue, separated by a city.
Because of the hero's invitation, many martial artists from all over the world gathered here, so the closer you get to Changzhou, the more people you see carrying weapons.
Changzhou welcomes everyone who comes, and anyone who brings weapons will be allowed in.
Xiao Li observed for a while and decided, "We have to separate."
"Everyone here is either a lone ranger or in groups of three or five. Our team is too formal and conspicuous."
When passing through other cities, you are just passing through, spending the night quietly, and leaving the next day. You still have the imperial pass in your hand, so there is no problem.
But this is King Xian's territory, and the other party is preparing to rebel, and they will not recognize the post from the court. Moreover, such a large team will definitely be noticed by King Xian, and then they will be surrounded, which will be very disadvantageous to her.
The thirty people were eventually divided into seven teams and sneaked into the city with light equipment.
Hongyue and Wang Wanqing followed Yang Jun and pretended to be a family of passers-by who were passing through Changzhou on their way to Beicang with their wives.
Xiao Li and Rong Qing rode into the city with four people, acting as a pair of siblings from an escort agency.
The others dispersed and entered the city in batches. Once inside, everyone found nearby places to stay. They didn't need to recognize each other and just treated each other as strangers, waiting for the opportunity.
Xiao Li knew that Xu Nianqing's face was similar to hers, so she deliberately changed into a very hot outfit, revealing a little bit of her arms and calves, and her slim waist was tied very tightly. At first glance, she looked like a very sexy hot girl.
A red pattern like a birthmark was painted on the left side of the face with red paint, and then a piece of white gauze was put on.
The birthmark can be vaguely seen through the white veil, so others would think that she wears the veil because of the birthmark on her face.
As for Rong Qing, he didn't shave for fear of being recognized.
That face full of beard is a natural mask.
Well, even though I can’t recognize familiar faces, don’t these two siblings look a bit eye-catching?
Xiao Li was feeling nervous, and then she saw the thin man carrying a heavy sword and the strong man wielding a sledgehammer as if he was moving a mountain.
The heavy sword was bigger than the thin man, and the sledgehammer shook the ground when it was thrown to the ground.
Xiao Li was watching in shock when an enchanting red figure came riding over on a horse, with a pair of snow-white legs exposed. The bells on the leg rings jingled, and the scene in front of him was surging, instantly attracting countless gazes.
She has a charming face and a seductive smile that makes people around her want to turn into wolves in an instant.
Uh...how should I put it, Xiao Li admitted that he was narrow-minded.
Disrespect, disrespect!
