Chapter 172: The Challenge of Cao Qiudao

When Ji Jie saw Huang Shaohong holding the tray, he couldn't put it down. He laughed and said: "The master's achievements are unparalleled, so I will give this beautiful jade 'green' to the master!"

Huang Shaohong really liked such beautiful jade. He always felt that when he was close to the green jade, he had an indescribable feeling of comfort, so he did not refuse it hypocritically, and immediately smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Emperor!"

The envoys from various countries looked at each other, with shock and a hint of understanding in their eyes.

They had long heard that Xiaocheng went to serve the emperor as a king, and Zhao Guo's victory over Yanmen County was all due to this Taishi, the God of Swords. Now it seems that the Emperor freely rewards even the city's treasures and jade, and this Taishi

The teacher was not polite at all, and it seemed that what he was told was indeed true.

After Hou Sheng retired, a man also stood up on the seat of Qi State. This man was white-clothed and black-haired. He had a nose as deep as an eagle and deep-set eyes. He was about forty years old. His aura was as strong as a mountain.

Yue, as soon as he stood up, he attracted everyone's attention, and when people looked at him, they felt a sense of oppression coming towards them.

This sense of oppression was as real as ever. The imperial guards responsible for protecting the emperor subconsciously stepped forward, raising their weapons in a defensive manner.

The man saluted the emperor and said: "Cao Qiudao of Qi State, pay your respects to the emperor!"

Wow!

Jixia Sword Master Cao Qiudao!

As soon as Cao Qiudao announced his name, everyone was in an uproar. This name was like thunder. Before the sword god Huang Shaohong, he was the most famous swordsman in the world. And even now, many people think that although the sword god is powerful,

If you haven't competed with Jixia Sword Master, you can't be justified!

Cao Qiudao actually came to Handan with the Qi State envoy. You must know that this person is a higher-ranking prince. If it is a visit, he should be treated with the courtesy of a prince. Unexpectedly, such a person would follow the Qi State envoy silently.

When a group meets the emperor, what does he want?

Ji Jie was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "It turns out that he is Jixia Sword Master. Please excuse me quickly. I heard that Mr. Jixia has been cultivating himself in the 'Jixia Academy' for ten years. Why did he come to Handan for some reason?"

Cao Qiudao's expression was serious and his voice was sonorous: "Cao came to Handan firstly to pay homage to the emperor, and secondly because he heard that Handan had a great swordsman who was canonized as a swordsman by Marquis Zhao. Cao has not been defeated for twenty-seven years. He often

I felt lonely. After hearing this, I was so happy that I came to Handan specially to learn swordsmanship with the sword god!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, not for anything else but because of what Cao Qiudao said: Twenty-seven years without a single defeat, I often feel lonely. Nowadays, men in the world are all practicing swordsmanship. This Jixia Sword Master

What he said, no one could understand.

Huang Shaohong played with the beautiful jade 'green knot' in his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Old Cao, you are so pretentious, but you are going too far in front of me, as if no one knows how to do this."

, and immediately said loudly:

"I deeply understand what Mr. Cao said..."

After saying this, he let out a long sigh and chanted: "Invincible is always lonely, high places are too cold, powerful people all over the world, one sword can leave Handan!"

After saying that, he raised the bronze wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He looked like I was invincible, my heart was bitter, and I was unhappy.

Everyone present was shocked at how domineering the Master Taishi's casually recited poem was.

The first sentence explains that the swordsmanship is invincible in the world, the second sentence expresses the sadness and loneliness of having no rival after becoming invincible, the third sentence even states that there is no one who can compare with him in the world, and the last sentence tells everyone that this sword is invincible.

It comes from Handan.

Who is there in Handan? The sword god of the Sword God Palace, that is, the Grand Master himself, also told Cao Qiudao in disguise that the invincible sword in the world is in Handan, not in the Jixia Academy of Qi State.

After Cao Qiudao heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and the muscles on his face kept trembling slightly. His heart was extremely furious, just like this before the attack.

"Okay..." Ji Jie looked at Huang Shaohong with excitement and admiration on his face. He clapped his hands and cheered. Then Zhao Hou Xiaocheng also cheered. This was the title he was canonized when he was King Zhao.

The sword god is now so powerful that he has a proud face on his face.

When the Emperor and the Marquis of Zhao applauded, all the civil and military officials of the Zhao Kingdom applauded loudly. Although the other countries were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to follow suit and praise him.

Cao Qiudao faced Huang Shaohong with a smile on his face and said: "The name of the Sword God is like thunder in my ears. Cao Qiudao asked the Sword God to give me some advice today. Sword God and Sword Master should also be distinguished!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the Qi State envoy applauded. In the hearts of all Qi State people, Cao Qiudao was the myth of invincibility.

Huang Shaohong stood up and was about to say a word to accept the battle. Li Mu, the God of War of Zhao Kingdom, suddenly smiled and said: "Sword God, how can we be careless in the battle of the Sword Master? Why not hold a sacred battle in the Sword God Palace in three days so that I, Zhao

There are more great men who practice swordsmanship and can see the divine grace!"

As soon as Li Mu said these words, everyone nodded secretly. The battle between the Sword God and the Sword Master is a sacred battle. It would be a pity if such a grand event was carried out in a hurry.

Emperor Ji Jie agreed: "What the general said is true. In three days, a sacred battle will be held at the Sword God Palace. At that time, I and Zhao Hou will invite envoys from all countries to witness the sacred battle. Who is the strongest swordsman?"

people!"

Envoys from several countries expressed their determination to attend the ceremony, and many of them looked expectant and excited.

Cao Qiudao glanced at Huang Shaohong indifferently. Their eyes collided in the air, as if a string of sparks were aroused in the air, and they both burst out with endless fighting spirit.

After Lao Cao sat back in his seat, the Korean envoy Tian Guang stood up and saluted: "To the Emperor, I, the Lord of the Yan Kingdom, present ten cities to the Emperor, and I am willing to make the Emperor the co-lord of the world!"

When the Korean envoy said this, all the civil and military officials present, from the emperor down, became very happy, knowing that this was Yanmen County's majesty in the battle. Korea's name was "Jinxian", which was actually to cede territory to make amends, in order to extinguish the emperor's anger!

This thing is funny to say. The Zhou Dynasty was a feudal system. Throughout the ages, the emperor continued to enfeoff the princes, and the land was used to appease the princes or reward meritorious ministers. To this day, the land owned by the Zhou royal family is the so-called Eastern Zhou Principality.

In fact, the area was only the size of a county in later generations.

This time South Korea presented the city to the emperor, which was the biggest gain since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.

Ji Jie was naturally very happy and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Marquis Yan is interested. Please present the map of the city. Grand Master, Marquis Zhao and I will watch it together!"

King Yan Xi had proclaimed himself king a long time ago, and Ji Jie deliberately said that he was the Marquis of Yan, just to tell the envoy of Yan that Yan had overstepped its bounds.

A cold light flashed in Tian Guang's eyes when he heard this, but he skillfully lowered his head to cover it up. Then he turned to a young man in his early twenties sitting next to him and said, "Jing Ke, present the city map to the emperor!"

As soon as the word "Jing Ke" came out, Huang Shaohong and Xiang Shaolong, who were eating and drinking, looked up at the same time, their eyes fixed.

Xiang Shaolong put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and was about to stand up. Huang Shaohong glanced at him and shook his head slightly. He then let go of the hilt of the sword, but kept his eyes on the young man named Jing Ke.

Jing Ke was handsome and elegant. Although he was young, he looked heroic. He responded and took out a tray next to him. On the tray was a map made of cowhide.
