Chapter 376: Desert King
Chapter 376: Desert King (Please give me double monthly tickets on the last day!)
Before Zhang Junbao could answer, Xu Qing said softly, "Because Master Xiao is dead."
"Brother Xu also knows?" Zhang Junbao asked in surprise.
Xu Qing sighed: "If I'm not mistaken, Master Xiao forged the sword with his life, which is why he defeated Madam Xu."
Zhang Junbao nodded slowly: "Not bad."
Gao Yanan couldn't help but say solemnly: "Then Master Xiao should win this round."
If a sword-making master uses his life to forge a sword, then another sword-making master can only turn the tables by sacrificing his life.
Obviously, Mrs. Xu did not gamble her life, so Mrs. Xu lost.
This also explains why Madam Xu refused to forge swords again.
Because he is not as sincere as Master Xiao in the art of sword-making.
Being true to one's own principles, even at the risk of one's own life, is easy to say, but few people can do it.
Since ancient times, the only difficulty is death.
She then asked curiously, "Why was Madam Xu invited by that Taoist priest?"
Zhang Junbao shook his head: "I don't know either. But it seems that there is nothing in the world that a Taoist priest cannot do."
Gao Yanan: "Hearing what Taoist Priest Zhang said, I really want to meet this nameless Taoist priest."
Xu Qing smiled and said, "Maybe you have seen him, but you just forgot about him."
Gao Yanan: "Why did Master Xu say that?"
Xu Qing said leisurely: "Because I think this Taoist priest is a god who plays with the world. Since he is a god, he may be everywhere."
Gao Yanan: "Then I can't remember it, which means I haven't seen it before."
Xu Qing smiled.
He then asked Zhang Junbao: "I wonder what the sword forged by Master Xiao is called?"
"Tear Mark Sword." Zhang Junbao said softly.
Xu Qing: "Madam Xu later forged the Heavenly Sword. She must be curious about which one is better, the Heavenly Sword or the Tear Sword."
Zhang Junbao: "It's a pity that the Sword of Heaven has fallen into the hands of Mongolian Prime Minister Bayan."
Boyan is a disciple of Meng Chixing, the top master in Mongolia today, and is also a close and trusted minister of the Yuan Dynasty Emperor.
Both Phagpa and Mengchixing were the spiritual pillars of the Yuan Dynasty Emperor Kublai Khan, especially the latter.
After the last Mongol Khan, Mongke, was killed by the Divine Condor Hero under the city of Xiangyang.
The current Mongol Emperor Kublai Khan convened the kurultai assembly in Kaiping and announced that he would inherit the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia, which was criticized by the Mongolian kings.
At this time, Meng Chixing personally took action to suppress the rebellious Mongolian kings, and later helped Kublai Khan to defeat Ariq Böke, who was competing with him for the position of Great Khan, allowing Kublai Khan to secure his position as the Great Khan of Mongolia.
And Phagpa came later. As the leader of the Mongol religion, he strengthened Kublai Khan's power and enabled the Mongol Khan to establish a dynasty and become the Mongol emperor.
Moreover, these two top figures of the time blocked countless open and hidden attacks for Kublai Khan.
This made Kublai Khan the longest-reigning Khan in Mongol history.
Xu Qing: "When we return from the Western Regions, I will help you retrieve the Heavenly Sword and let you use it to please Miss Guo Er."
Zhang Junbao: "Brother Xu, please stop joking with me."
Xu Qing sighed: "So you don't want to go get the Black Iron Order now?"
Zhang Junbao coughed and said, "I have also seen the Divine Condor Hero, so I am interested in the Black Iron Order."
Xu Qing smiled: "If you said you were not interested, I would definitely take you away."
Gao Yanan: "Master Xu, Master Zhang, shall we go grab the Black Iron Order now?"
She was a little excited.
I haven't encountered anything interesting on this trip.
Xu Qing: "Miss Gao, please be careful with your words, we are here to take it."
"Yeah." Gao Yanan nodded vigorously.
...
…Although the local gangs in the northwest were very fierce, after seeing Xu Qing and his two companions, they all became very polite after a friendly exchange.
Not only did he give them the Xuantie Order that they had fought so hard for, he also gave Xu Qing and the others a lot of money for their journey.
In fact, these gangs didn't know about the Black Iron Order, but news of it suddenly spread in recent days, so many local gangs in the northwest rushed here to fight to the death for the Black Iron Order.
After all, although the Condor Hero is no longer in the martial arts world, he has always been a legend in the martial arts world.
Also, there is one strange thing.
The Condor Hero killed the previous Mongol Khan, but the Mongols did not cause him any trouble.
Gao Yanan raised questions and got answers from Xu Qing.
If Mongke had not died, how could Kublai Khan have become the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty?
Moreover, Kublai Khan and the Condor Hero are old acquaintances.
The key point is that Kublai Khan cares more about the interests of the Han landlords than Mongke. Therefore, the Han ministers who are close to Kublai Khan are very satisfied with Mongke's death and naturally will not persuade Kublai Khan to avenge his brother.
After Xu Qing explained, he took the Black Iron Order and played with it, saying, "Jun Bao, who do you think spread the news about the Black Iron Order?"
"Government." Zhang Junbao thought for a while and then said.
Xu Qing: “I think so too.”
Gao Yanan understood immediately, "It seems that the imperial court wants to use these things to make people in the martial arts world kill each other."
Since ancient times, heroes have used force to break the law.
Therefore, how to discipline the people in the underworld has been a major issue for the imperial courts of all dynasties.
Xu Qing: "So when we took the Black Iron Order, we actually offended the government. Miss Gao, you introduced yourself at that time."
Gao Yanan's face turned dark.
No wonder Xu Qing used a pseudonym at that time.
This stinky Taoist priest even said that he was a Taoist priest from Wudang Mountain. How cunning!
Xu Qing taught Miss Gao a lesson: when traveling in the world, a vest is very important.
Zhang Junbao didn't care. He hated the Tartars the most in his life.
Xu Qing played with the Black Iron Order for a while, then threw it to Zhang Junbao: "Junbao, this thing is for you. I heard that Miss Guo is planning to set up a sect, and this Black Iron Order is just the right gift for you."
Zhang Junbao wanted to say something, but finally accepted it silently.
After all, if Miss Guo received this gift, she would definitely be happy.
But why does Brother Xu's half-smile look make me so uncomfortable?
Old Xu always mocked him in some way, which made Zhang Junbao himself think less about Miss Guo.
Now Zhang Junbao’s biggest wish is for a fairy to fall from the sky and enchant Brother Xu to the point of being completely bewildered.
...
...
The three continued westward and came to a Gobi desert.
Before entering the desert, you must make some preparations.
Although Xu Qing and Zhang Junbao are both extremely skilled in martial arts, they are still powerless when faced with a natural disaster.
After all, once you come to this world, you have to abide by the rules of this world.
Xu Qing has always been a very honest person.
"It's best to find a guide when entering the desert," Xu Qing suggested.
Gao Yanan: "Then we must ask the desert king Jamukha for help, and he is at odds with the imperial court."
Jamukha's ancestor was also named Jamukha. He was a sworn brother of Genghis Khan. However, he turned against Genghis Khan, became his prisoner, and was sentenced to death.
As a descendant of Jamukha, the current King of the Desert, Jamukha, has always been against the Mongol court.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
