Chapter 43

Gu Xiao, who was on the way to Qi, naturally didn't know that Cao Qiudao had chosen Bian Dongshan as his opponent.

At this moment, he was on his way to Linzi City.

After several months of trekking, Gu Xiao and his party finally came to Qi State and were heading towards Linzi City.

"It's really a bustling place!" Along the way, Gu Xiao couldn't help sighing as he watched the sight of people coming and going in the cities of Qi State he passed.

In the past, when Su Qin lobbied the king of Qi, he once said that Linzi, the capital of Qi, had 20 households. If each household had three people, Linzi could raise [-] strong men.When he heard this story just now, Gu Xiao thought, this is Su Qin's whimsy.

Because of Su Qin's words, there is an idiom left in later generations, that is, "no matter what three seven is 21".

Originally, he never had an exact concept of the prosperity of Qidi.However, after he really came to Qi State, he realized that what Su Qin said back then was not an exaggeration at all. On the contrary, it still belittled the prosperity of Qi.

Along the way, the prosperity of Qidi really opened his eyes. Wherever he went, there were people coming and going everywhere. Just some smaller cities were bigger than those big cities in Qin State in Gu Xiao's impression. To be prosperous.

It's a pity that although Qi's population is prosperous, Gu Xiao can't see much blood on the faces of the people coming and going.

On the faces of these Qi people, there is only satisfaction with their current life.

As the saying goes, those who love war will die, and those who forget war will be in danger!

Looking at the expressions on the faces of these Qi people, Gu Xiao already began to understand why, more than 20 years later, when Qin State destroyed the six eastern countries, Qi State's demise was the easiest one.

For a country that has forgotten how to fight, when the war comes, it is bound to be a catastrophe!
Since entering the territory of Qi State, the journey has become better and better.

Finally, after more than a month, the group finally arrived at the gate of Linzi City.

When they arrived at the gate of Linzi City, there were already people waiting.Under the guidance of some soldiers, Gu Xiao and others came to an old man with half-white beard and hair. The eyes that should have made people can't help but have an illusion that as long as they stand in front of him, it's as if they are not wearing any clothes, and they can't hide all the secrets from him.This person is none other than Tian Dan who restored Qi with the land of two cities decades ago and put on a big fire bull formation.

"I've seen Xiangguo!" Gu Xiao took Ji Yanran, Feng Fei, Zheng'er and others to salute Tian Dan to show respect.Although it is impossible for him to serve in countries other than Qin, if he sees people like Lord Xinling and Tian Dan among the six eastern countries, he will always maintain a kind of respect that he should have, which is in line with the relationship between the two sides. It has nothing to do with your position, it's just a very simple respect.

Seeing Gu Xiao bowing towards him, Tian Dan didn't say anything, but gave him a strange look.

"This old ghost is really not easy to deal with!" Gu Xiao said in shock.

From Tian Dan's glance, he didn't see the existence of the slightest hatred or murderous intent at all, but just looked at him like that.It's like an elder looking at an enemy's younger generation.

This couldn't help but immediately raised his vigilance against Tian Dan to another level.You know, Xiao Wei Mou who was killed by him was a member of Tian Dan's clan, but now, when Tian Dan saw him, he didn't even have the slightest hatred, which really made him extremely vigilant.

What's more, even if he didn't pay for killing Xiaowei Mou, just saying that he is Bai Qi's grandson is enough to make Tian Dan feel hatred and murderous intent towards him.

There is no way, Bai Qi committed too many murders back then. The soldiers of the Six Kingdoms who died at the hands of his grandfather totaled over one million.

It's no wonder that this kind of monstrous murder, when his grandfather Bai Qi was about to die, would cry out in pain: "This is the sky that wants to kill me!"

Tian Dan has at least one hundred reasons to hate him no matter in public or private, but now Tian Dan's behavior is so normal that Gu Xiao wonders if Tian Dan doesn't know his identity.But soon, he put this thought behind him, it was simply impossible.

He didn't believe that Tian Dan would not know his identity.

"Haha, it's an honor for all of you to come from afar!" Tian Dan didn't know that Gu Xiao's thoughts were chaotic, and he laughed and welcomed everyone.

"Xiangguo is so polite, Yanran and others are ashamed!" Ji Yanran bowed to Tian Dan and said solemnly.

Looking at Ji Yanran, Tian Dan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Miss Yanran is so polite, this old man welcomes you on behalf of my king!"

When he said this, Tian Dan didn't even look at Gu Xiao, and he didn't pay attention to Gu Xiao and Feng Fei and Deng Ran at all.

Damn!Gu Xiao roared crazily in his heart, this is blatant ignorance!

Tian Dan didn't take himself seriously at all, which immediately aroused Gu Xiao's anger.

"Miss Yanran, today, my king intends to host a banquet in the palace to entertain the young lady. I wonder if the young lady can entertain me?" Tian Dan never looked at Gu Xiao and the others from the beginning to the end.

Tian Dan's every move conveyed one thing to Gu Xiao, Feng Fei and the others, that is, the reason why he appeared here was not to welcome them, but to welcome her.

From the beginning to the end, the only person Tian Dan wanted to welcome was Ji Yanran.

Gu Xiao clenched his fist tightly, wishing he could punch Tian Dan's nipple!
The greatest humiliation in this world has never been any nasty foul language, but ignorance!Naked ignorance, not paying attention to you at all, this is the greatest insult to a person!

"This?" Ji Yanran hesitated for a while, she was very smart, so she could hear the meaning of Tian Dan's words, which clearly meant that she didn't take her companions seriously.

"Yanran is exhausted from the journey, and she is already exhausted. I haven't bathed and changed clothes yet, so it is inconvenient to go to the palace. Please forgive me, Xiangguo and Your Majesty!" Ji Yanran was only slightly taken aback, before rejecting Tian Dan's invitation.

For some reason, after seeing Gu Xiao's eyes full of anger, Ji Yanran subconsciously didn't want to make him angry, and declined the invitation of King Qi and Tian Dan.

Tian Dan was startled, and quickly said, "That's really a pity."

"This kid, his mind is uncertain, so there's nothing to worry about!" This was the thought that flashed into Tian Dan's mind when he turned around.Just now, he seemed to be talking to Ji Yanran, but in fact he had been paying attention to Gu Xiao's every move. When he noticed Gu Xiao's always angry expression, he immediately made such a conclusion in his heart.

"What an old fox, actually testing me like this!" This was Gu Xiao's thought after turning around.

As a human being for three generations, he has already accumulated profound experience, and since Tian Dan and Ji Yanran started talking, they understood his plan.

Half of his angry expression just now was real, and the other half was just pretending.Since this old fox wanted to test himself, of course he had to follow him and show himself as a young man in front of this old fox.

Fortunately, he didn't pretend to be in vain. Tian Dan, an old fox, had already been tricked by him.

"Boy, in ten days' time, Bian Dongshan, the eldest disciple of Jixia Sword Master, will fight you at Jixia Academy!" These were the words Tian Dan sent through the wind after turning around.

No names were named, but everyone knew who he was speaking to.
