Chapter 1032 Dragon Slaying Sword
Chapter 1030: Dragon Slaying Sword
Luoyang, Qinhou Mansion, Qin Hao’s study room.
"This is the Dragon Slaying Sword?"
Qin Hao carefully played with the sword in his hand, then smiled and said to the beauty in front of him, "Xiu Ning, you are using a fake product to deceive me, right?"
Seeing that Qin Hao actually questioned him, a trace of anger flashed in Li Xiuning''s eyes and snorted coldly: "Hmph, it''s not true, it''s not true, you can test it casually!"
Qin Hao looked at Xiuning jokingly, and after a few seconds he smiled, "I know this is true."
Li Xiuning felt powerless when she saw this. This feeling of getting angry but not being able to make it feel so frustrating!
At that time, Dong Zhuo sent Li Xiuning as an envoy to Luoyang to negotiate with Qin Hao, and negotiated to exchange the remaining three counties of Sizhou for Li Shimin. Later, the negotiations broke down because both Qin and Liang armies increased their troops, but Li Xiuning, as an envoy, did not leave.
Since her brother Li Shimin was captured alive, Li Xiuning has been trying to rescue him, but because she had no idea where Li Shimin was detained, and the power she controlled was not strong enough, forcing rescue was simply not feasible. Only through negotiations can one save people.
Li Xiuning tried to contact Taoism, hoping to get the support of Taoism and use the power of Taoism to put pressure on Qin Hao, but Taoism''s relationship with Baijia became increasingly tense due to the death of Guangchengzi, and he had no time to help Li Xiuning.
Since the first grandmaster was born, there has never been a precedent for death in battle. However, the Taoist masters Zhang Daoling and Guangchengzi have now died. Dugu Yuyun, the leader of Shushan, also disappeared after the fall of Luoyang, and still does not know whether it is life or death.
Every grandmaster is extremely precious, not to mention that Taoism has lost three in a row, which naturally makes the top Taoists extremely angry.
Nowadays, the relationship between the hundreds of schools is extremely tense, and a death war may break out at any time, so Taoism naturally has no spare energy to save Li Shimin.
Li Xiuning was disappointed in Taoism, but she did not give up. Instead, she found her second grandfather, Taoist Taiqing.
But the unfathomable second grandfather just said "I understand" indifferently, and then stopped paying attention to Li Xiuning, which also made her seriously doubt whether Taoism gave up on her second brother.
Just when Li Xiuning had no choice but to rescue, he learned that Dong Zhuo decided to use the land of the three counties to exchange for his elder brother, which also moved Li Xiuning for a long time.
Afterwards, Li Xiuning went to Luoyang alone to negotiate with Qin Hao, but in the end it failed due to various reasons, which also made Li Xiuning extremely disappointed.
Without the land of the three counties as bargaining chips, the only thing that could make Qin Hao moved in Li Xiuning''s hand was probably the Dragon Slaying Sword, one of the keys to the treasure of God.
Li Xiuning knew that his second brother also valued the treasure of God, but Luoyang had been completely occupied by Qin Hao, and his second brother had no chance to obtain the treasure of God, so it would be better to use the key to exchange for his life.
The huge wealth contained in the treasure of God is even more valuable than the three counties of Sizhou. No prince in the world does not want to obtain it.
But Li Xiuning only has one key in her hand, and she still doesn''t know where the treasure is, so she is not sure whether she can exchange it for her second brother with the value of a key.
But this is Li Xiuning''s last hope, so she must try it whether it is successful or not. What Li Xiuning didn''t know was that due to the ambiguous information, she had already missed the best opportunity to rescue Li Shimin.
Before the coalition of princes retreated, if Li Xiuning could know the location of the treasure, she might have been able to use coercion and temptation in this matter. Perhaps it would be possible to force Qin Hao to release Li Shimin.
Although Li Xiuning put all the hopes of exchange for Li Shimin on the treasure key, she would not foolishly take the key to find Qin Hao to replace him.
After a series of negotiations, Li Xiuning found that although Qin Hao was very interested in the key, he felt that the weight of a key was not enough to exchange for Li Shimin, so he decisively refused her transaction to use the key to exchange people.
Qin Hao wanted to get two keys at one time, but Li Xiuning really only had one in his hand. After his hard persuasion, Li Xiuning could only try to grab the second key.
The dragon-slaying sword in Li Xiuning''s hand was obtained from the thief **** Ji Wuming, who was good friends with the thief Bai Zhantang, and the two often committed crimes together.
Therefore, Li Xiuning judged that the Yitian Sword was extremely likely to be in Bai Zhantang''s hands, so he mobilized the power of the entire bad man to search and hunt the thief of the Saint Bai Zhantang.
Bai Zhantang is not very strong, but his ability to escape and counter-reconnaissance is the best in the world. The clues that the unscrupulous people have quickly been cut off, and there is no trace of Bai Zhantang.
Li Xiuning''s plan to pursue Bai Zhantang was in a deadlock again, but he could not find Bai Zhantang and could not get the Sword of the Heavenly Sword, so he could not replace his second brother Li Shimin, which made Li Xiuning feel a little desperate.
Time flies. Just as Li Xiuning pursued Bai Zhantang, a series of major events occurred, including Dong Zhuo''s death, Liang''s retreat, and the Southern Alliance''s heading south.
Li Xiuning was in charge of bad people and some Liang Guards, so he could naturally get news of Dong Zhuo''s death as soon as possible. When he learned that Yang Jian unified the Liang army and retreated to Guanzhong, Li Xiuning immediately thought of Yang Jian''s intention to seize power.
After Yang Jian unified the Liang army in Sizhou, his strength had undoubtedly surpassed the Li family. If he returned to Guanzhong at this time, it would be difficult to fight against Yang Jian with the power in his father Li Yuan''s hands.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Xiuning became more and more impatient to rescue Li Shimin. After all, Li Shimin is not only Dong Zhuo''s son-in-law, but also Dong Zhuo''s appointed heir. Once he returns, he will definitely be supported by all the Liang generals, and the power of the Li family will once again surpass Yang Jian''s Yang family.
But at this moment, Qin Hao came to Li Xiuning and told him that since the Qin army could only obtain Sizhou through war, it would naturally be useless to keep Li Shimin, so he decided to execute Li Shimin.
Qin Hao''s words frightened Li Xiuning. Now she was not thinking about saving Li Shimin, but how to prevent Qin Hao from killing his second brother and temporarily save his second brother''s life.
Li Xiuning reached an agreement with Qin Hao under the condition of offering the Dragon Slaying Sword, begging Qin Hao not to kill Li Shimin for the time being. After she found and offered the Sword of the Heavenly Sword, Qin Hao released Li Shimin.
Li Xiuning knew that this agreement was completely unbinding to Qin Hao. If Qin Hao didn''t want to abide by it, she had no choice but to believe in Qin Hao''s credit and character now, so she finally handed over the Dragon Slaying Sword.
