After all, Tian Dan is a hero in the minds of all Qi people, and the person that Qi people really trust is Tian Dan and not the King of Qi!

After the discussion just now, Tian Dan immediately made a decision to take advantage of the spring sowing season to implement the tuntian system in Qi as soon as possible.

Today, Tian Dan will personally go to the northern border of Qi to implement the tuntian system, and the southern border will also send someone to inform Qi Yu's uncle Qi Fang, and the military tun near the capital Linzi will be handed over to Kuang Ziyin to implement!

In this process, Tian Dan did not even mention a word to ask the King of Qi, obviously Tian Dan is the real ruler of Qi State, the uncrowned king.

Lu Yunzhou ignored Sun Fuwu, who was falling into conjecture and muttering to himself, looked at Han Qian and said, "Senior Brother Han, among the three disciples I take care of Jianzhai, the eldest disciple should be the most difficult, you have to be careful!" ”

Han Qian smiled proudly, "Senior Brother Qi, don't worry, I can't wait to meet this foreign swordsman for a while!" ”

…

…

Outside the Chongxian Gate in the east of the small city, the three of Zhaojianzhai and apprentices walked on the street, looking at the bustling crowd.

Guan Zhongxie's face was calm, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "Master, this is the territory of the Qi people, we have come to fight Cao Qiudao with such fanfare, I am afraid that the other Qi people will act restlessly!" ”

Zhao Jianzhai squinted his eyes slightly, looked ahead, and a cold and hard voice sounded: "Zhongxie, I know what you mean, just do what you want!" ”

A smile flashed in Guan Zhongxie's eyes, and he said respectfully, "Yes, Master." ”

Lian Jiao hummed suspiciously: "Master, senior brother, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing, if the Qi people provoke, what are we going to do?" ”

Lian Jin sneered, and said: "Big brother is so stupid, of course it's a fight, first, let's give these provocative people a little color, so as to tell them that we are not easy to provoke, and second, hum, that is, to put a little pressure on Cao Qiudao and his three apprentices, let's show our strength, I don't believe they are not afraid!" ”

…

…

The two city gates in the west of Linzi City are Jimen and Shemen, which are taken from the meaning of Jiangshan Sheji, the first gate in the north is the gate of Jimen, and the first gate in the south is the gate of Shemen.

The Shemen is also the only gate leading from the small city to the outside of the city, which is convenient for officials to go out.

After the students came out of Xiangguo Hall, they went out of the city from the Shemen nearby, chatting and laughing along the moat and walking to the Jixia School Palace in the northwest direction.

The blue-gray city wall of Linzi is reflected on the clear moat surface, the blue sky and white clouds ripple in the water, and the grass by the moat is delicious, and the scenery is picturesque.

Ma Chengjia was eager to try: "Qi Yu, the difference in strength between the two of us seems to be, I plan to find an opportunity to help you try that Lian Jin's strength!" ”

Lu Yunzhou's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "This is not bad!" ”

Ma Chengjia and Min Jianzhang were also very famous in Linzi later, both of them were strong in swordsmanship, and they were both famous for being aggressive, and their reputation was only under Zhongsun Xuanhua and Dan Chu, Lian Jin received a box lunch too early in the original book, but it was not easy to estimate his specific strength, just so that Ma Chengjia could test it.

Lu Yunzhou is not a rigid and inflexible person, since he is on his own turf, of course, he must give full play to his home advantage to grasp intelligence!

Lu Yunzhou thought for a while, and reminded again: "But until the point, don't get hurt, and don't hurt Lian Jin, otherwise the game will be unfair!" ”

Ma Chengjia patted his chest and promised: "That's natural, I often do this kind of thing, and I will never make a mistake!" As he spoke, he slammed his fist at Min Jianzhang, who was also excited, "I'm in charge of Lian Jin, you help me press the formation, you are responsible for Lian Jiao, I'll help you press the formation, how about it!" ”

Min Jianzhang simply responded: "No problem, that's exactly what I mean!" ”

Zhongsun Xuanhua teased: "You two are really martial arts idiots, the three of us are competing, how can you two be more excited than us!" ”

Ma Chengjia and Min Jianzhang laughed when they heard this.

The group laughed and arrived at the Jixia School Palace, at this time it was the time for class to end, and the other students in Jixia heard the news that a foreigner had come to challenge Cao Qiudao, and they were all excited, and people everywhere shouted: "Cao Gong will win, Daqi will win!" ”

Cao Qiudao's status in the minds of the Qi people is like a guardian saint, and he is worshiped as a god by all Qi people. This time, when they heard that Cao Qiudao was challenged by foreigners, all the students were excited to look forward to Cao Qiudao showing his might on the day of the Spring Festival, defeating foreign masters, and raising the prestige of my country!

No one will doubt that Cao Qiudao will be defeated, this is the strong self-confidence left by Cao Qiudao in the minds of Qi people without a defeat for decades, this is the guarantee of strength!

…

…

On the prairie outside the west gate of the Jixia School Palace.

Lu Yunzhou, Zhongsun Xuanhua and Han Qian walked out of the West Gate and headed in the direction of the Xianshui River.

In the distance, at the end of the surging grass waves, on the shore of the sparkling lake, there is a small thatched house, which is where Cao Qiudao lives, called Jianlu.

"Of the ten famous swords that Master treasured, I was given a Chengying, Senior Brother Han was given a broken army, and Senior Brother Bian was given a victory over evil, and there are seven left, which sword do you say Master will use to fight against Zhao Jianzhai?" Zhongsun Xuanhua was suddenly a little curious.

Han Jian shook his head and said, "Master once said that only by personally casting and integrating the sword of one's own spirit and spirit can one achieve intimacy, like an arm's command, and give full play to one's own swordsmanship. I think Master will re-smelt the sword! ”

Lu Yunzhou frowned and said, "But there are still ten days before the spring festival, is it still too late?" ”

Han Jian said lightly: "It's definitely too late, you can't even make a sword embryo in this time, besides, you have to recuperate before the big war, it is impossible for Master to spend a lot of energy and physical strength to reforge the broken sword!" ”

Zhongsun Xuanhua took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and said with great certainty: "No matter what, Master will definitely have a solution, there is nothing in this world that Master can't solve!" ”

The three of them crossed the prairie to a thatched hut where the breeze blew by.

Zhongsun Xuanhua stepped forward and tapped the door twice, and said respectfully: "Master, disciples Zhongsun Xuanhua, Han Di, and Qi Yu have something important to report!" ”

There was a "squeak", and there was a slight knock on the door of the house, and there was no movement in the thatched house.

Zhongsun Xuanhua looked inside, closed the door again, and said, "Master is not inside, most of them are in the sword on the bank of the Xianshui River, let's go look for it!" ”

The three of them bypassed the thatched hut and came to the edge of the water, and walked along the riverbank to the north for a while, and as far as the eye could see, there was a steppe with a flat river, and the water stretched endlessly, flowing in the meantime, and the grass waves were boundless, spreading forward, intersecting with the blue sky of the sky into a line......

The wind in early spring was slightly cool, blowing the tips of his clothes and hair, Lu Yunzhou only felt that the sky was big for a while, and his mood suddenly became happy.

This is the world of 2,000 years ago, so beautiful, such a landscape, if it weren't for this magical crossing, let him be reborn in this era, how can he see it in the future life!

A black dot in the distance gradually became clear, and Zhongsun Xuanhua said happily: "Found it, Master is there!" ”

The three of them walked forward quickly, and when they got closer, they saw that not far away, on a big bluestone, a burly man with long hair and a shawl was sitting quietly on it, facing the endless flow of water, closing his eyes and meditating.

It was their master, Cao Qiudao!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the scene in front of them seemed to freeze frame, and people couldn't help but hold their breath for fear of breaking this natural picture that even the Creator would admire.

Cao Qiudao sat quietly by the river, so natural, his majestic body seemed to be one with heaven and earth, and it seemed that he had been there since ancient times, and he had never left......

The three of them involuntarily stopped, only to feel that they were standing here out of place, and even the slight sound of the breeze passing around them was always reminding them not to disturb and leave quickly......

The three of them stood awkwardly in place, neither walking nor staying.

Cao Qiudao seemed to have eyes behind his back, and suddenly spoke: "What's the matter with you?" ”

The quiet and natural atmosphere, with Cao Qiudao's question, was suddenly broken, as if the sword of heaven and earth hanging above their heads suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings became full of life again, and the three of them only felt that the pressure on their bodies had suddenly subsided, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Yunzhou was deeply shocked, and said in his heart: "Is this the momentum of the kendo master?" It's horrible! ”

Lu Yunzhou deeply doubted whether the original book was wrongly recorded, such Cao Qiudao no longer belonged to the realm of mortals, how could Xiang Shaolong make so many moves in front of him.

Han Jian and Zhongsun Xuanhua were taken aback, they could both feel that Cao Qiudao's sword path cultivation seemed to have entered a higher realm, which made them feel even more unattainable.

Master's state at this time is like a god!

Suddenly, the three of them no longer worried about which sword Cao Qiudao would use during the competition, because when the gods descended in front of mortals, why did they need to use swords!

Han Qian suddenly remembered the state of Cao Qiudao after shooting down the meteor that day, the back of the mountain as majestic and the sea as deep, and he seemed to understand something in his heart.

"Master, with the help of the power of heaven and earth, the cultivation of the sword path has entered a higher realm!"

Zhongsun Xuanhua took a deep breath, calmed down for a while, and then respectfully bowed his hand and said, "Master, there is a patriot named Zhaojian Zhai, who wants to challenge Master in public at the Jixia Sword Meeting on the day of the Spring Festival...... In addition, his three apprentices had to duel with Senior Brother Han, me and Senior Brother Qi respectively before the challenge. ”

After Zhongsun Xuanhua finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence again, as if the sound of the water flowing was in another world, so unreal......

After a long time, Cao Qiudao sighed lowly, still didn't look back, just whispered: "Senior brother, you're finally here!" ”

The three of them seemed to have thunder in their hearts, and they stood stunned!

Zhao Jianzhai turned out to be the junior brother of Master Cao Qiudao!

Doesn't that mean...... Zhao Jianzhai is their uncle, Guan Zhongxie, Lian Jiao and Lian Jin are their brothers?

I only heard Cao Qiudao's voice sound again--
