The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Chapter 557 The king is unwise

Ever since she became famous in Daliang of Wei State, countless noble men have wanted to kiss her beauty, and even her private property has become a treasure for these noble men to compete for.

Men all over the world are mostly the same. Now that Bai Gui wants to ask for her sword, Ji Yanran is not surprised. Just another man who covets her beauty.

Just a sword...

Ji Yanran nodded slightly and agreed, "Young Master Li wants my sword, so what are you willing to gamble with?"

She still has a little confidence in her swordsmanship.

I don’t think I will lose.

"What does Miss Ji want? A thousand pieces of gold? Good land and a beautiful house?"

Bai Gui smiled faintly, "These young masters can all bet."

He will not lose.

So it doesn't matter how big a bet you make.

"If Mr. Li loses, can you agree to Yanran's three requests? Yanran will not embarrass Mr. Li for these three requests. They are just small things that can be done casually."

Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes moved, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

For her, although worldly wealth is not within easy reach, it is not far behind. Bai Gui is now regarded as the best swordsman in the Zhao Kingdom. Although this title is still controversial in her opinion, it is not easy for Bai Gui to have such a reputation at his age. In addition, Bai Gui's performance in Yahu Xiaozhu is also good. . Such a person will surely occupy a high position in the Zhao Kingdom in the future.

These three simple things you can do may come in handy later.

"Three requests?"

Bai Gui was surprised, shook his head and said: "Then Miss Ji's sword cannot be used for the bet. But whatever, I still want to sell it for Miss Ji's face."

Both felt they had taken advantage.

In the open space outside the small building, the two faced each other with swords.

"Let's start the sword fight."

Zou Yan took a look at the sky and said.

As soon as she finished speaking, the elegant and gentle Ji Yanran seemed to have changed into a different person immediately, with a more chilling air. However, this chilling aura did not destroy her beauty, but instead added to the heroic appearance that ordinary women rarely have. In addition, her waist is slender and her jade steps are graceful, making her sword-wielding extremely beautiful.

Soon, the two sword fighting men approached.

"This is not a good move to establish a young master..."

Ji Yanran saw that Bai Gui just stabbed forward diagonally, not even bothering to move his body, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking like he was sure of victory. Of course she would not underestimate Bai Gui because of this. What she said this time was just a trick to distract Bai Gui with her words.

However, the next moment, she was stunned.

Although this sword stabbing at an angle cannot be said to be very subtle, it is not fast either. But her body was blocked. The direction where the sword fell was her Achilles' heel. She had to move her position or use her sword to block the sword. But Bai Gui's sword was so powerful and heavy that she was unable to push it away.

One strike of her sword was like an earthworm shaking a tree.

Ji Yanran had no choice but to take a step back, but when she stepped back, Bai Gui's sword had stopped firmly on her jade neck.

One move failed!

Next to the peach grove in Yahu Xiaozhu, there is a deathly silence.

Lord Xinling, Zou Yan, and Han Fei looked like they couldn't believe it. Even if Ji Yanran's swordsmanship is no longer good, she won't be unable to survive even one move. But seeing is believing, so they have no choice but to believe it.

As for Mr. Shaoyuan, he looked like he had expected it. After he saw Bai Gui killing more than thirty assassins with one sword outside Gandan City, he knew that Bai Gui's swordsmanship was extraordinary. Winning is common sense. It would be weird if Bai Gui procrastinated to win.

Ji Yanran's jade face turned pale, she forced a smile and said: "Master Li's swordsmanship is amazing, I am ashamed of myself."

She had nothing to say.

This "Zhao Li" shows no pity at all. Even though his swordsmanship was so superb, he still had to let her take one or two moves. Unexpectedly, he defeated her with just one move.

Regarding Bai Gui's admiration for her, she was shaken in her heart and was not sure.

Bai Gui nodded and sheathed his sword.

"The heavy sword has no edge and is too clever to work. Miss Ji is weak and weak, so it is difficult to block my sword. This is a small advantage..."

he said modestly.

In fact, his sword was so powerful that no one except Xiang Yu, who was born with divine power, could shake his sword edge. It's just that it's hard to say this openly.

"Since Young Master Li wins, then Yanran's sword..."

Ji Yanran glanced at the beloved sword in her hand reluctantly.

A good swordsman basically has a sword that is easy to use. The sword in her hand is also a precious sword and has been with her for four or five years. I felt a little reluctant to give it to someone else suddenly.

But after hearing what Bai Gui said, "A heavy sword has no edge, and a great skill has no workmanship," she felt that it would not be a big deal to give this sword to Bai Gui.

"Wait a minute."

Bai Gui stopped Ji Yanran, "This sword is Miss Ji's sword. A gentleman will not take away someone's beauty. I immediately saw that there is another sword in Miss Ji's bedroom..."

The meaning behind his words was clear.

Ji Yanran would not fail to understand what he meant.

"What?" Ji Yanran was startled for a moment, her almond-shaped eyes widened, she glanced at the sword in her hand, and then glanced at Yahu Xiaozhu. Her face suddenly became a little ugly, and she became unhappy.

She also thought that Bai Gui was in love with her, so he wanted to take away her sword as a bet. But thinking about Bai Gui's ruthlessness in the sword fight just now, combined with this scene. She suddenly realized that this "Zhao Li" had no intention of admiring her at all, and his real purpose was the sword in the bedroom.

Could it be that...she is worse than a sword?

"I'm willing to admit defeat." Ji Yanran took a deep breath and threw the sword to Bai Gui, "Young master Li has already promised me to take my sword. I am not a swindler."

It's just a sword. Rather than being angry, she would rather give up the sword.

Bai Gui took the long sword thrown by Ji Yanran. The long sword contained the fragrance left by the beauty. He was also momentarily speechless. Cleverness is misled by cleverness.

A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. If it were an ordinary person, nothing would go wrong under his plan. But when these words fell into Ji Yanran's ears, many changes arose.

"Miss Ji..."

Bai Gui sighed and said, "The sword in Miss Ji's bedroom will be of great use to me. I hope Miss Ji can give up her favorite sword and I will be willing to invest in it."

Instead of going roundabout ways to seize Qin Shijie's general sword, it would be better to confess directly.

Of course, this would cost him a lot more.

After all, in his plan, he could take away the Ganjiang Sword in a sword fight. But now you need to invest additional money to buy it, and it may even cost other money.

"really……"

"He really fell in love with my sword..."

Ji Yanran secretly clenched her right hand and gritted her silver teeth. If she couldn't defeat Bai Gui, she would really want to stab Bai Gui to death at this moment. When did she, the most talented woman in the world, fall to this level?

"I won't sell it!" she said stubbornly.

If Bai Gui had planned to buy the sword from her from the beginning, she might still sell it. Of course, she is not short of money, and it is basically impossible to sell the sword with gold and silver. At this moment, she felt even more unhappy because of Bai Gui, and she would not easily follow Bai Gui's wishes.

Furthermore, the Ganjiang Sword is also her favorite. Even though she put it away, it didn't mean that she didn't like the sword.

"Since Miss Ji won't sell it, I won't force it."

Bai Gui raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

But after he took one look at Ji Yanran's expression, he got the general idea. Although Ji Yanran is well-known in various countries, she is about the same age as him now. She looks mature on the outside, but in fact she still has the temperament of a little girl.

If he plays with temper, his negotiations will be meaningless.

You can't buy a sword openly, but you can buy it secretly...

"Yanran, it's just a sword..."

Zou Yan frowned when he saw this and wanted to persuade him.

"Father, you don't need to say more. That sword... Yanran also likes it very much. It's not because she is unhappy at the hands of Mr. Li. It's just that it's hard to give up something you love."

Ji Yanran replied.

As soon as these words came out, Lord Xinling and Zou Yan couldn't help but shake their heads. It's obvious that Ji Yanran is playing tricks on her at a glance. But now that Ji Yanran said so, they had no reason to persuade her.

After talking for a few more words, everyone got into the carriage and left together.

"Fei... is also in the post house. Mr. Li... can come to Han Fei at any time. Han Fei has thanked Mr. Li for his kindness today."

When he arrived at the door of the post house, Han Fei bowed his hands to Bai Gui and said.

"Zhao Wei and Han are originally a family..."

Bai Gui came up with his excuse to excuse everyone.

Han Fei smiled, thanked him, and entered the post house.

Bai Gui didn't care when he saw this. Han Fei is a smart man and knows that these words are false, but the two of them are not close to each other yet. Han Fei was grateful to him for state affairs.

In a flash, it was seven days later.

During this period, Bai Gui, as the envoy of Zhao, also met with the King of Wei and stated the advantages and disadvantages of Zhao and Wei joining forces to attack Yan. However, King Wei only dealt with it politely and did not really follow through.

Of course, Bai Gui was not surprised either. The real purpose of his mission to Wei was not to promote the alliance between Zhao and Wei. The alliance between Zhao and Wei was not that simple. There must be tangible benefits to impress King Wei for this to be possible. The conditions offered by the State of Zhao were basically just pictures on paper, so how could it be possible for the King of Wei to agree to an alliance.

As for the Ganjiang Sword in Ji Yanran's hand, Bai Gui was not in a hurry and took it away immediately. Once Ji Yanran's sword is lost, there is no doubt that everyone will be suspicious of him.

There is no need to rush...

At night.

In the other courtyard of the post house, the bedroom door opened.

"Master Li, my master has promised to send twenty good men to assassinate Lord Xinling." Shanrou walked in, her delicate body pressed against Bai Gui's body, and she said softly.

After she contacted her master Cao Qiudao in the past few days. Her master also had doubts about Bai Gui's identity, thinking that Bai Gui might be an immortal from an overseas fairy island. In Qi State, there have always been legends of overseas immortals. The reason why Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to search for immortal islands overseas was because of the legend of overseas immortals spread in Qi State.

High-ranking officials basically have no doubts about ghosts and gods.

Bai Gui frowned and was embarrassed to push Shanrou away. After all, Shanrou had just done something for him, so pushing Shanrou away now would inevitably be a bit cold-blooded.

"Young Master, I will serve you."

"I am your concubine. You have never wanted me. There are already rumors..."

Shanrou, who was in Bai Gui's arms, raised her eyes and glanced at Bai Gui, her face flushed red.

If Bai Gui's seed could be destroyed, this would be the descendant of the immortal. Even if Bai Gui doesn't help him, her son will help her in the future. To be favored by immortals is a sure win.

"this……"

Bai Gui coughed lightly.

If it were another world, he wouldn't mind. No mercy anyway. It's just that his cultivation has just started now, and he can't let women ruin his cultivation.

But if you refuse, there will inevitably be rumors, especially Shanrou, and I'm afraid there will be murmurs in the bottom of my heart...

"Shanrou, I hope you will recognize your identity."

Bai Gui pushed Shanrou away and took a few steps away, "My True Yang, if a mortal takes it, it won't become a feather and ascend, but it will also have the foundation of the great road. Your words..."

His eyes turned cold.

"Shanrou deserves to die. Please forgive me, Mr. Li!" Shanrou was stunned for a moment at first, but then she figured it out, turned pale with fright, and quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Also, how could she covet the Immortal's True Yang?

Just as her master Cao Qiudao said, that sunspot is even worth countless times more precious than Heshi Bi and Suihou Pearl. And this is just a random fabrication by Bai Gui. So, it is conceivable that the Immortal’s True Yang must be hard to find in the world and extremely valuable.

"It's nothing! Those who don't know are not guilty!"

"Don't tempt me from now on. If you behave well, it's not impossible to show mercy to you..."

Bai Gui sat on the bed and said lightly.

It seems like he got an advantage and behaved well. In fact, this is not the case. His current physique is equivalent to that of Tang Monk. After one bite, it is possible to live for at least a thousand years, not to mention immortality. And the True Yang he cultivated is even more precious. True Yang is equivalent to the seed of golden elixir.

…

The next day, Lord Xinling went out and was brutally assassinated in Daliang.

However, there are countless masters in Lord Xinling's mansion. No matter how powerful these assassins are, they cannot harm Lord Xinling in the slightest. When the assassins retreated, they also revealed their identity as Qin people.

"A native of Qin?" In the carriage, Lord Xinling took a deep look at the corpse on the ground.

The people of Qin will indeed assassinate him because he is the pillar of Wei. But he felt that these people were not from Qin, but from Wei. There should be someone else behind the assassination.

And just one day after this.

Bai Gui visited the palace of the King of Wei late at night.

"Does Your Majesty know about the assassination of Lord Xinling?" He looked at the old white-haired King Wei in front of him and said with a smile: "There are rumors in the market that the person who assassinated Lord Xinling was a person from the Qin State, but the news from our Kingdom of Zhao is different. The people of the country say...there is another person who assassinated Lord Xinling."

"Who assassinated the king's brother?" Wei Wangyu hated this lobbyist from the Six Kingdoms who was trying to sell his reputation. However, the person in front of him was Zhao Envoy, so he had to ask patiently.

"The people of Zhao state said that Lord Xinling was too young. It was probably the king who was jealous of Lord Xinling's youth and prestige and sent someone to assassinate Lord Xinling."

Bai Gui glanced at Wei Wangyu's face, saw his expression changed, and smiled again: "Of course, I also think this is a lie. Your Majesty and Lord Xinling are brothers. Now that your Majesty is old, he must have already chosen him. From now on, Lord Xinling will inherit the throne... It is really unwise for these people to spread false news."

"Mr. Zhao is wrong." Wei Wangyu glanced at Bai Gui coldly, "I have a prince."

"The king is wrong!"

Bai Gui said categorically: "If the Wei State is safe and peaceful, the Crown Prince of Wei will succeed him, but now the Qin State is eyeing the Three Jin Dynasties. Without Lord Xinling, how can there be Zhao Wei? This is a dispute between the family temple and the state! The wise should be In order to preserve the country. Brother Kuang and his younger brother have already set a precedent. How could your Majesty be so unwise?"
