Li Changfeng found a seat and sat down, still smiling, looking like a good gentleman.
"Your name is Niu Qifei, right." When Niu Qifei spoke, Li Changfeng looked up at him.
"Yes, yes." Niu Qifei nodded repeatedly.
The Li family monks who came to him probably investigated him clearly, but at this time, he must pretend to be confused.
After all, he is also a member of the Zhao royal family. The Li family should not really take action.
"Then I think you understand the reason why I came to you. I don't need to say more."
"Fellow Daoist Li, please make it clear." After speaking, Niu Qifei bowed slightly to Li Changfeng to express his respect, and Really don't understand.
"Okay." Li Changfeng nodded lightly. If the other party wanted to pretend, he would point it out directly, "Tell me, why did the Zhao royal family send you here?"
"What? ! Zhao…Zhao royal family.”
Niu Qifei looked at Li Changfeng in shock, looking confused.
"It seems that you need me to help you recall it."
"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Li, I really don't understand what you are talking about. I am just a small casual cultivator. How can I have contact with the Zhao royal family?" "
Seeing Li Changfeng stand up, Niu Qifei said quickly, and at the same time he showed that I was really innocent.
“It’s okay, you’ll know what I’m talking about in a moment.”
At this moment, Li Changfeng had put away the smile on his face, and the long sword, a high-grade magical weapon, appeared in his hand, and his spiritual power After instillation, Niu Qifei's left arm flew out as he raised the knife, and blood spurted out, staining the table red.
Niu Qifei's remaining right hand covered the wound on his left arm and screamed.
He didn't expect that Li Changfeng would actually take action. He thought that Li Changfeng's actions were just to scare him and that he would not really take action. Who knew that he would actually take action?
"Oh, you didn't resist." Li Changfeng was a little surprised at this moment. He didn't expect that his simple knife would actually cut off Niu Qifei's arm.
Forget it if the other party doesn’t resist, why don’t you know how to hide?
When he thought of this, Li Changfeng understood that the other party was betting that he would not dare to make a move.
It can only mean that Niu Qifei lost the bet.
The instruction Li Changfeng received was to give the Zhao royal family a warning. It was not to have a good talk with the monks sent by the Zhao royal family and not hurt them. The warning meant that under normal circumstances, it would be fine not to kill the other party. If it really happened When it comes to special moments, the death of the other person is nothing.
"It seems that you still haven't thought of anything. The next time I strike, your arm will not fall to the ground, but your head will fall to the ground."
"I remembered it. Get up!" Niu Qifei shouted quickly, this time he really didn't dare to gamble.
If the monks of the Li family dare to hurt him, they will definitely dare to kill him. If he continues to be ignorant, his life will be lost.
He is feeling particularly uncomfortable now. Li Changfeng's long sword, a high-grade magic weapon, is also a bit corrosive. It is difficult for his wounds to heal. Now he can only use up his spiritual energy to barely stop the bleeding.
"It would have been better if it had been like this earlier. We can still have a good talk." Li Changfeng smiled, then put away the magic weapon in his hand and sat down again.
Now when Niu Qifei saw the smile on Li Changfeng's face, it was extra scary.
As he thought before, this kind of person with a smile on his face is really ruthless. Although he was gambling just now, he was actually a little unable to react. Li Changfeng's attack speed was too fast. Very quickly, very decisively.
"Okay, let's talk, let's talk..."
"Well, what do you remember? The royal family of the Zhao Kingdom sent you here?"
"Yes, the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom sent me here to inquire about some news, but I didn't find out anything. How can I know Everyone knows the news." Niu Qifei told the truth, he really didn't know anything, and hoped that Li Changfeng could believe him and not give him another blow.
“Really?”
“It’s absolutely true!” Niu Qifei nodded desperately.
"Okay, I believe you." Li Changfeng must be very discerning when he was sent to manage Xiushifang City in Tongyang County. Now Niu Qifei's performance is obviously different from just now. This should be the truth. .
In addition to his eyesight, Li Changfeng also has confidence in his family.
The more important information in their family is kept secret very well. It is difficult to find out, and it is even more difficult to find out in Xiangshui County, which is the territory of their Li family.
Niu Qifei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Since I didn't find out, I will let you go back."
Li Changfeng stood up again and walked in front of Niu Qifei. Niu Qifei couldn't help but take a step back when he saw this.
"This is our Li family's kindness to you. If it were any other alchemy cultivating family, it would be difficult for you to leave here alive."
"Yes, yes, yes." Niu Qifei responded quickly and affirmatively.
But I was thinking in my heart that if it were other alchemy cultivating families, they would not do anything to him. After all, he was a member of the Zhao royal family.
The royal family of Zhao State is the overlord of Zhao State in his heart.
"In this situation, you go back and tell your master that if you really want to do something, you should set your sights on Tianhe Sect. They are still waiting for your end."
The Zhao Kingdom's royal family is now basically aware of the cooperation between the Tianhe Sect and the Immortal Cultivation Circle of the Zhao Kingdom. However, what they have seen so far is that the Tianhe Sect is being beaten, and the Zhao Kingdom's royal family has no intention of ending.
Li Changfeng’s meaning was simple and clear, that is, to ask Niu Qifei to go back and tell the Zhao royal family to spend more time on Tianhe Sect.
When Niu Qifei heard the words, he quickly responded again and kept answering yes. Apart from answering this at this time, he felt that it was best not to say anything, which was safer.
"Okay, you can go back."
"Okay."
Niu Qifei nodded and ran away immediately. He didn't want to stay here for a moment, it was too dangerous.
"Wait."
Before he went out, he heard Li Changfeng calling him again. At this moment, he was very nervous, fearing that Li Changfeng would tell him directly without him having to go back to announce the news. He left his life in Xiushifang City, Tongyang County.
Niu Qifei, who didn't want to stop, stopped anyway and turned to look at Li Changfeng.
“Fellow Daoist Li, is there anything else?”
"Before you go back, remember to pay the rent."
"Oh, good." Niu Qifei agreed quickly. He thought it was something, but it turned out to be this little thing.
Don't tell me, he planned to leave directly, and he had already forgotten about the rent.
This time the door opened, and Niu Qifei could really leave. Before leaving, he put away his left hand. After going back, he saw if it was possible to reconnect it.
Going downstairs, they saw the owner of the house sitting there waiting for them.
"This is the rent."
Niu Qifei put down the spirit stone and left without looking back.
The owner of the room looked at the one-armed Niu Qifei and understood what probably happened above. There was a soundproof array in the room. He did not hear Niu Qifei's screams above.
"It was also my good luck that I met fellow Daoist Changfeng." In the mind of the house owner, the personal conflict between Niu Qifei and Li Changfeng had already been figured out, and in the end Li Changfeng spared his life.
In his eyes, Li Changfeng was really a good man and basically never got angry. Once family issues were involved, the situation would be different. If Niu Qifei had friction with the Li family, it would be impossible for him to come out alive at this time.
Provoking the Li family for no reason would lead to a bad outcome, but to take the initiative to provoke the monks of the Li family, in his opinion, there must be something wrong with their brains to do such a thing.
…
Huangmin County.
In a dimly lit house.
Niu Qifei, who rushed back from Xiangshui County, immediately reported the situation to Zhao Tiandong.
Zhao Tiandong is in the middle stage of foundation building. He is the younger generation of the Zhao royal family. He only entered the middle stage of foundation building a few days ago.
"...Brother-in-law, you have to make the decision for me." Niu Qifei cried immediately after reporting the situation.
The main reason why Niu Qifei got this job was that he had a good sister. Originally, he thought this was a good job. Not only was it not difficult, but there were many benefits after completing it. Who knew that he would end up like this now? A little bit can put your life at risk.
Had he known this would be the result, he would not have wanted this seemingly good task in the first place.
"Everything you said is true?"
"It's all true, without any embellishment." Niu Qifei replied quickly.
He focused on what happened between him and Li Changfeng of the Li family to Zhao Tiandong. He did not add any exaggeration to what Li Changfeng said, he just embellished it for himself.
He said that he had resisted bravely, but the other party put the evidence in front of him and was stronger than him, so the result was like this.
He also lost an arm in the process of resisting.
Bravery and fearlessness are synonymous with Niu Qifei's confrontation with Li Changfeng.
"According to what Li Changfeng said, we should not put our minds on their Li family. We have this time, we might as well pay more attention to the situation in Tianhe Sect." Niu Qifei said his own Some views.
Zhao Tiandong said nothing.
He was still studying carefully what Niu Qifei said just now, mainly because he was recounting Li Changfeng's words from his mouth.
After thinking about it, the most likely thing the Li family is doing now is to give them a warning to the Zhao royal family.
He said that that was their territory and asked the Zhao royal family not to make unnecessary moves.
"The Li family..."
Zhao Tiandong feels that the Li family is very courageous. It is just a family that has been cultivating alchemy for less than a hundred years. They dare to give them a warning to the Zhao royal family. The family has So what if there are two alchemy monks? The number of alchemy monks from the Zhao royal family is still in double digits.
The ancestor has amazing strength!
Thinking about it from another angle, the Li family should only dare to say such words in the current period.
Zhao Tiandong, who had already understood some of the core contents, knew very well that the Zhao royal family would not help the Tianhe Sect. Under the siege of the three sects, the Tianhe Sect would eventually be destroyed.
If they are really going to end, and the Li family dares to say such words, the Zhao royal family will also put in a certain amount of energy to deal with the Li family when they end.
Is the Li family arrogant? Or bet that the Zhao royal family will not end up?
Zhao Tiandong thinks the former is much more likely.
The news that the Zhao royal family will not end up should only be known to the monks at the level of pill formation in Qingfeng Valley. Even the affiliated pill formation cultivating family forces will not get this information.
The Li family is a new alchemy cultivating family. A few years ago, there was another alchemy cultivator in the family. It is normal for them to be arrogant.
How to deal with the Li family is not up to him, Zhao Tiandong. If he can make the decision, then after the Tianhe Sect is destroyed, he will definitely teach the Li family a lesson and let the Li family Know who is the real master of Zhao State.
Although this is a bit unexpected, after all, Tianhe Sect's front heel was destroyed, and the back heel and the Zhao royal family acted somewhat abnormally.
But what’s the point?
As long as the three sects don't react at that time, it's fine, so you need to see the three sects' reactions before taking action.
These are Zhao Tiandong's personal thoughts. As a younger generation of the Zhao royal family, he feels that the Zhao royal family must show dignity in the Zhao kingdom. Not everyone can provoke and warn.
Niu Qifei looked at Zhao Tiandong who was still thinking and stopped talking.
As he watched quietly, he actually needed an answer.
He very much hoped that the Zhao royal family could do something. In addition to taking action against the Li family in Xiangshui, it would be best to connect his arm.
"Niu Qifei, you have disappointed me." Zhao Tiandong looked at the one-armed Niu Qifei in front of him, the expression on his face had changed, "If I had known there would be such a result, I should not have given the task to You.”
"I...what's wrong with me?"
Niu Qifei didn't quite understand. He had clearly shaped himself very well, and looking at Zhao Tiandong's appearance, he believed what he said.
He who is ‘brave and fearless’ should not disappoint Zhao Tiandong.
"You didn't get any useful information, and then you came back like this."
"This and this..."
Niu Qifei wanted to say that it was not his problem that he didn't get the news. It was too difficult to find out the news in Xiu Shifang City, Tongyang County. Even if he were to go to other monks, he would have the same result.
But looking at Zhao Tiandong’s appearance, he would definitely be doomed if he dared to say this.
"What other reason do you think you have to live in this world?" Zhao Tiandong looked at Niu Qifei with cold eyes. The Li family's actions made him very angry, as did the useless Niu Qifei.
You know, he was the one who pushed Niu Qifei up.
Niu Qifei couldn't get any information, which also showed that Zhao Tiandong had poor vision.
"You can't do this. If my sister knew..." Niu Qifei, who felt the pressure of the spiritual power of the Foundation Establishment monks, knelt down with a look of mourning.
Zhao Tiandong didn't give him a chance to finish his words.
"Don't worry, she will only know that you died at the hands of the Li family monks, and the same goes for everyone else." Except for him, no one in the Zhao royal family knew about Niu Qifei's return.
When he finished saying this, Niu Qifei's head fell to the ground.
Niu Qifei didn't expect that Li Changfeng didn't chop off his head, but his brother-in-law Zhao Tiandong also chopped off his head.
In addition to the reason he said, Zhao Tiandong killed Niu Qifei for a more important reason. He felt that some of the old guys in the family were too conservative...
...
Spring is passing and autumn is coming.
One and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Evergreen Mountains, Li Qianqing and Li Xunting stood in front of the cave where they were retreating to form elixirs.
It has been more than four years since the last time the pill formation failed. During this time, Li Xunting made a lot of preparations. Although her family failed to obtain the pill formation spiritual objects, she was still very confident in her ability to form pills. (End of this chapter)
