Chapter 1040 Ambition, Sick Tiger!
Chapter 1040 Ambition, Sick Tiger! (Ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month, two in one)
It involves military secrets.
In the huge White Tiger Festival Hall, there were only three people sitting opposite each other.
The aroma of tea is faint.
Wow.
The books standing on the bookshelf fell over with a dull thud, bringing the two back to their senses.
Yang Xu opened his mouth.
He Ningyuan, the governor of Heyuan Prefecture and the garrison general of the Western Army, showed a look of surprise and doubt.
What are you doing?
Liang Qu's words just now were so loud and clear that they still rang in his ears. There was silence in the hall for a long while, but they were still ringing in his ears.
He couldn't have heard it wrong!
Half an incense stick to kill one of the lower eight beasts?
There is a saying that it is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. Liujin Sea is a battlefield. It would be best if we can kill naturally and have a permanent victory. But is it possible?
The eight beasts at the lower level are still eight beasts. The eight of them were originally the best among Beiting Zhenxiang, standing at the top, with a complex network of relationships, occupying the best resources, and an endless number of life-saving methods. Killing any one of them is not a sure thing.
Even though Liang Qu had Barstai's record, it goes without saying that there must be various games involved. However, the same game, if played by another person, would have different thoughts, experiences, and judgments. A slight difference could lead to completely different results. If it took half an incense stick to suppress it, there would be a chance. Half an incense stick...
It's really unbelievable.
If someone else had said this, He Ningyuan would have sneered and not bothered to pay attention, and would have directly asked Yang Xu to kick the person out.
The person who said this was Liang Qu.
The Earl of Xingyi was very famous. Although people in Dashun had seen him, they had heard of him.
The two men met for the first time and were not familiar with each other. In the White Tiger Hall, such a serious and important occasion, joking seemed somewhat stupid and should not happen to someone of Liang Qu's level.
in this case.
That means the other party was not joking and really thought so in his heart... but just because he was not joking did not mean he could really do it. After killing Balstei, did he become arrogant?
The so-called genius is often unexpected. With Zhang Longxiang as a precedent, He Ningyuan did not refute. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "If one of the lower-ranked Eight Beasts really gave way and it took half an incense stick of time, how confident is Earl Xingyi that he can kill the horse?"
"It's hard to say." Liang Qu shook his head. "The eight beasts have different abilities. I've only seen Balstai's. The abilities and methods of the others are still unclear. We need to combine them to make a judgment."
He Ningyuan nodded, feeling even more surprised.
Maybe in words.
There is no frivolity or arrogance in his behavior.
His heart couldn't help but jump, could it be...
Is there really someone that powerful?
Zhang Longxiang, who is the same age as him, is still struggling with tiger hunting!
Yang Xu couldn't get a word in, so he just held the cup and drank tea in silence.
He Ningyuan suppressed his emotions and reached out to hand out all the albums on the table. Each cover had a gold-plated pattern of various beasts, all of which contained information about the Eight Beasts of Beiting.
Giving it to the leopard first is to highlight the key point, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, if the mutual restraint is not correct, the enemy will change, so all the information of the eight beasts and twelve wolves must be understood.
"I am really surprised that the Lord of Xingyi has this idea. After observing his words and actions, I believe it to some extent. However, as the commander of the Western Army and the governor of Heyuan, I have tens of millions of people under my command. I need to be responsible for my generals. I should think more carefully and not make rash decisions.
During this period, it would be great if the Earl of Xingyi could produce more evidence. Sir Liang does not need to rush to give an answer. Stay for a day, read the intelligence, and think carefully. Besides, I have one more thing to say."
"General, please speak."
"The information in the album is not complete. It is the result of the battle between Heyuan and Shuofang, including the information collected by spies. It is incomplete and incomplete. People do not remain unchanged. The last large-scale battle was eight years ago. We don't know much about the changes of the eight beasts during this period.
Even if you are sure, you still need to be careful and cautious. You will never make big mistakes if you are more cautious. It is a good thing to be enterprising. However, Lord Liang has been favored by His Majesty and has come from a small village. He is very talented and can become a pillar of the Dashun Kingdom step by step. There is no need to take risks and pursue it. It will only take one or two years."
Liang Qu killed the eagle alone. It was a sharp blade, undoubtedly a good knife that could cut a bloody path.
But He Ningyuan would never dare to really stab anyone with all his strength.
Because this sharp knife has a long way to go and can grow further. Compared with the possible height of Liangqu in the future, no matter how beautifully the battle is fought today, it is just a small scene.
He stabbed someone to death and broke half of the knife tip, but he was the unlucky one.
The original intention was to find the gap between the nail plates and insert a knife into it to see blood.
However, it seems that the sharp blade itself wants to hit the heart guard and the helmet head-on. With one cut, it will pierce through the armor and the person, crush the heart, and splash out the brain.
"It should be so." Liang Qu nodded, accepting the good intention, and reminded, "Above the Blue Lake, Balstai brought three Zhenxiang to encircle and suppress us, and one of them escaped."
"I know about this matter and have considered it."
Liang Qu nodded and said no more. He just emphasized the issue of time.
The speed at which information is transmitted through the imperial capital's "telegraph station" is so fast that everyone can gain at least ten days of preparation advantage.
In short.
Go back and check the intelligence first, then make a judgment about the opponent.
Walked out of the Marshal's Mansion with Senior Brother Yang Xu.
Walk out from the eaves and step into the snow.
The coldness seeped into my body through my clothes.
The wind was mixed with large hailstones like coarse salt particles, cutting as finely as a knife.
Seeing the adults coming out, Yang Xu, who was standing at the door, took two steps forward, put on pure white bearskin cloaks for the two of them to block the cold wind, and then fell behind, waiting for instructions.
"Where did you get the polar bear fur coat?" Liang Qu was a little surprised to see the long fur sticking to his face.
Nice fur coat.
Soft, smooth and very thick.
If you put it on the market, you can’t buy it without a hundred taels of silver.
"Given by the court, generals above the seventh rank are given a black one, and those above the fifth rank are given a white one. Although we cultivators have strong Qi and blood and are not afraid of the cold, we are not immune to it. It is still very comfortable to wear, and can also serve as a cushion and blanket during a forced march, which is very convenient.
I heard from upstairs that a fellow villager was coming, and combined with the intelligence, I guessed it was you, so I asked someone to go to the military supply department to get one and wait at the door of the Marshal's Mansion. How about it, do you like it? If you like it, take two more back and give them to my brother and sister-in-law. "
Previously, Yang Xu had no time to greet his fellow apprentice because of important matters. But now that he was about to go out, he immediately opened up the conversation.
"That would be great." Liang Qu sprayed mist from his mouth and nose, and put the book into his inner pocket. Thinking of hugging E Ying who was wrapped in a bear fur coat and was soft, he felt happy in his heart. "Heyuan Prefecture is really cold, three times colder than Hantai. I asked casually when I came here, but I didn't expect so many people. It must be that my senior brother is guarding the tower, which is a tough job."
"Hahaha, isn't it because of you, Junior Brother, that I can do this hard job?"
"I?"
"Eye-sense and Ear-sense." Yang Xu pinched his brows, "Thanks to these two skills, I have earned a lot of merit as a spy, but it is very tiring. It is not bad on weekdays, but when there is something important, I have to stay on the city wall for 12 hours and cannot leave even if I want to.
Beiting has been aware of my movements and has begun to judge my movements. They often become alert when I stand on the city wall. If my junior brother comes, it will definitely not be a small matter. From these two aspects, it is very likely that we will run into each other."
Liang Qu frowned: "Will it be dangerous?"
"That won't happen. If I'm alive, Beiting can at least make the judgment. If I'm dead, how can they judge?" "That's right."
Since watching the white fire in the dream last year, Yang Xu has not been back for more than a year.
The two brothers naturally had a lot to talk about, especially when it came to the Ice Spring. Yang Xu felt longing for it but also a bit of regret.
What a spectacular scene it would be if a floating island was moved and placed in Huaiyin Martial Arts Academy?
It was a magnificence that could not be achieved by imagination alone.
In short.
When the news reached Heyuan Prefecture, his colleagues invited him to drink and they insisted on telling him what happened. They also asked if they could go to Pingyang Prefecture to see it together when they had time. Unfortunately, Yang Xu himself had never seen it and he could not resist the enthusiasm of the crowd, so he just made up a story based on his imagination.
"I heard that the Ice Spring is more than ten miles long and even the Ji Shui Pond cannot contain it. Is that true?"
"It's fake. Brother, you've been to the imperial capital before. How could the ten-mile Jishuitan not be able to hold it? The island is only a little over two miles long, and with the ice it's only four miles long. The ten-mile mark is a rumor."
From leaving home to current situation.
Naturally, we talked about Liangqu.
"The Great Snow Mountain, Beiting..."
Yang Xu was thrilled when he heard the martial saint's moves. He did not mention that he was the first to discover the eagle's tracks and report it to the court, so as not to appear to be seeking credit, which would be embarrassing for his senior brother. He sighed,
"My senior brother is not strong enough to help me much in this regard. I just hope that you can be more careful. There are many things that we don't have to take on. It's just for the sake of promotion. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Just be safe and sound.
You are the youngest, but you got married the earliest. It would be a good thing for you to go back and have a big fat boy with your brothers and sisters soon. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, but you two have already registered. When will you hold the wedding banquet? We are not a small family in the countryside. We can't just invite relatives and friends for a meal and be done with it."
"I'm going to do it big in Dragon Court."
"Long Ting?" Yang Xu was surprised, and suddenly understood, "So that's why you've been dragging it on?"
Liang Qu did not give a direct answer.
When he heard about the Dragon Lord’s birthday banquet, Liang Ashui naturally wanted to hold a Water Lord’s wedding banquet!
Yang Xu smacked his lips.
What an amazing ambition!
From Liang Qu's perspective, he and the dragon will definitely have a fight, but from the eyes of outsiders, it is not the case at all. He is leisurely and does not show any airs of a master on weekdays. He chats and talks with fellow villagers, and he never thought that such a big thing is hidden in his heart!
Besides ambition, he is also extremely confident!
The wedding banquet will not be postponed until one is in his seventies or eighties. If it is really held at that time, it will become a joke. It must be held before forty, which is a more reasonable age for a martial artist.
In other words.
Junior brother wants to defeat the dragon before he turns forty!
Unfortunately, Yang Xu didn't know the inside story. Liang Qu was thinking that he would start to drive the dragon out in two years, before he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old...
"Hey, why is Tiger's book so thick? It's almost one-third thicker than the other eight beasts."
The two of them walked into the city while chatting.
Liang Qu did not waste time and took a look at the information about the Eight Beasts.
"Because he has the most problems." Yang Xu glanced at him and didn't care. "Speaking of which, the Tiger of the Eight Beasts is now a freak. Outsiders call him the 'Sick Tiger', but he is actually the strongest among the Eight Beasts. The other eight beasts have won and lost against each other, and their rankings are uncertain, but the 'Sick Tiger' is undisputed.
Not only is there no opponent in Beiting, but there is no one in the entire Heyuan Prefecture who can fight him one-on-one. Even General He cannot contain him. Even if he fights against him, there is a great risk of death!"
"What do you mean?" Liang Qu asked curiously.
"You are friends with the Dragon-Elephant Martial Saint, so you should know that in the past, Beiting sent out the three strongest beasts, the bear, the tiger, and the wolf, to surround the Dragon-Elephant Martial Saint at the same time."
Liang Qu had known about this when he was calculating the fate. He reacted quickly: "I remember two people died and one was seriously injured. The one who escaped with the serious injury, could it be the current Tiger?"
"Correct!"
"It sounds very ordinary..." Liang Qu scratched his temple.
Zhang Longxiang's defeated general was just one of them, but now he has suddenly become the boss of the eight beasts?
Has everyone's level regressed or something?
Besides, Zhang Longxiang has become the King of Northwest China, but the other party is still wandering around in Zhenxiang territory...
"Heh, it's been several decades since the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint was promoted to the Dragon. When he was besieged in the past, the 'sick tiger' was indeed ordinary..."
Yang Xu was halfway through his speech when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The Grand Master of Heaven and Man is no ordinary person, only my junior brother is qualified to say this.
Re-summarized the ideas.
"The talent of the Dragon-Elephant Martial Saint is rare in a thousand years. At that time, the 'sick tiger' was still a 'ferocious tiger'. No one dared to underestimate it. It is over a hundred years old, and it is one with nature and man. It has not yet broken through the heavens and connected the earth. It is already the best among the eight beasts."
"Ignite the fire in your heart?"
"Not at that time."
Liang Qu's eyes flashed.
After reaching the third realm, one will achieve the unity of man and nature, connect heaven and earth, and knock on the gate of heaven to become a Martial Saint. Heart fire is an additional configuration.
Those at the front of the eight beasts are often those who have already reached the highest level of heaven and earth and have taken the second step.
Without any inner anger, he was able to stand at the forefront simply by achieving the unity of man and nature. That was truly amazing.
"You didn't have it then, but you have it now?"
"Yes, it will be there after the fight with Dragon Elephant Martial Saint."
Liang Qu's face froze, and he thought of something.
Yang Xu laughed: "That's right, just like you, Junior Brother, the bear and wolf died on the spot, but the tiger escaped, but was stunned by the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint at that time, and fled with serious injuries. When he returned, he had a burning heart fire, so he was called 'Sick Tiger'."
Liang Qu looked solemn.
Yang Xu continued, "And the story doesn't end there. In the same year after the burning of the heart fire, the sick tiger was able to reach the sky and earth, and his life span reached 500 years, just one step away from becoming a martial saint."
"Hasn't the gate of heaven been opened for decades?"
"He can't knock it open at all!" Yang Xu took a deep breath, "At that time, the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint had defeated the 'Sick Tiger' inner demon, and inside his Heavenly Gate was the promoted Dragon Elephant Martial Saint!"
Liang Qu was stunned.
To hunt the elephant in the sky is like hunting a tiger in the sky!
This is a vast barrier.
How to knock on a sick tiger?
There is no hope of dying in this life!
“It is hopeless for Binghu to break through the gate of heaven in this life, but his strength is far superior to others in Zhenxiang and has never stopped growing. Thirty years ago, no one could fight him alone.
Some people suspected that this guy not only took the second step, but also stepped over the heavenly gate and took his own fourth step, or even the fifth step, infinitely close to Yaolong Wusheng!
From this point of view, the current Binghu is even stronger than Zhang Longxiang in the past!
The Dragon Elephant Martial Saint left Heyuan Prefecture with a freak that is almost impossible to deal with! "
