The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 197 Tianshan Girl
A moment later, Zhao Ti sat in the house and looked at the girl in front of him.

At this time, the window was open, and the summer night breeze blew gently, accompanied by the smell of campfire barbecue, drifting in.

The girl was wearing a red blouse, had her hair in two spiral buns, and her shoes were a little torn, revealing half of her sparkling toes.

She was extremely beautiful, with a delicate and pretty face, two thin eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that twinkled like black gemstones. Her face was a little wet at the moment, obviously with the tears from crying just now still not dry.

Zhao Ti stared at him for a few seconds and asked, "What's your name?"

The girl didn't answer, as if she didn't hear anything. She had a frightened expression and her little shoulders trembled slightly.

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "Everyone says you are dumb, but I don't believe it. Let the Dragon King check it out."

Jiumozhi and Huo Linglong were standing aside at this moment. Upon hearing this, Huo Linglong went forward to check.

Generally, dumb people are also deaf. If the condition is congenital, they are both deaf and dumb.

Huo Linglong naturally knew that Zhao Ti had doubts in his heart. After all, even she didn't quite believe that there were deaf-mute people in Lingjiu Palace.

She knew something about Piaomiao Peak. After all, the Uighurs also had the Ming Cult, and when the Uighur Ming Cult reported things to the headquarters, they mentioned this place more than once.

There are many masters in Lingjiu Palace, and the palace master, Tianshan Tonglao, has reached the pinnacle of martial arts. How could such a place possibly support a deaf-mute girl who doesn't know martial arts?

When the girl saw her coming, she showed a frightened look. Huo Linglong smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, little girl. I'll just take a look."

He checked the ears and throat for a while, then looked at Zhao Ti and said, "Master, the eardrum and throat are intact. It doesn't seem like he was born with this disease."

Zhao Ti nodded and waved to the girl.

The girl didn't move when she saw this, but her big eyes like black grapes rolled around.

Zhao Ti said: "If you don't obey, just beat him to death and throw him outside to feed the vultures."

The girl still didn't move, and there was a slight confusion on her face, as if she didn't hear what Zhao Ti said.

Zhao Ti waved his hand again and said, "If you can't hear the words, can't you see the gestures?"

The girl stared at his hand thoughtfully, and after a few breaths she walked over reluctantly.

Coming closer, he lowered his head slightly and looked at his broken shoes and exposed little toes.

Zhao Ti raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to rub her head.

The girl trembled all over and started shaking. She looked up at Zhao Ti with a look of panic, then quickly lowered her head.

Zhao Ti said slowly: "The Murong family is good at faking death, and the Xiaoyao Sect likes to pretend to be deaf and dumb. This is a tradition. Your Xiaoyao Sect also has a deaf-mute sect. Do you know about it?"

The girl lowered her head even lower and pressed the toes of her shoes together, looking quite pitiful.

At this time, Jiumozhi said: "Donor, I think this girl is really dumb, not pretending."

Zhao Ti looked at him and said, "When will a monk know how to judge whether someone is deaf or dumb?"

Jiumozhi said: "The people in the Lingjiu Palace are all girls. I think the Tianshan Child-Grandma picked up poor people from everywhere and raised them up. It is possible that some of them are born deaf and dumb."

Zhao Ti smiled and said, "That makes some sense. Monk, go and call the black bear in."

Jiumozhi went out as expected, and Wuxiong came in to pay his respects a moment later. Zhao Ti asked, "How many times have you been to Piaomiao Peak? Have you seen the appearance of Tonglao?" Wuxiong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Master, I have been to Piaomiao Peak three times before, but I was blindfolded and never saw the true appearance of Tonglao. The others... are probably the same as me."

Zhao Ti said, "Even if the Child-Fairy of Tianshan stood in front of you, you wouldn't be able to recognize her. Even if you go all the way to Tianshan, it would be hard to find her because no one has seen her and can recognize her."

Wu Xiong said, "That's right. We have thought about this before, and finally decided that we can only resort to drastic measures. We should surround the Lingjiu Palace and interrogate them one by one. There will always be those who can't stand the torture and will identify them."

Zhao Ti said: "This is the only way."

Wu Xiong hesitated and said, "My subordinates were so angry that they wanted to kill everyone in the palace, but if we killed them all, no one could break the life and death talisman, so we gave up the idea."

Zhao Ti said: "You are different from Zhuo Bufan. His entire family was wiped out, but you are controlled by the life and death talisman. The source of the grudge lies in this talisman, so you should focus on solving this talisman."

Wu Xiong bowed again and said, "Master, your kindness and generosity will be remembered in our hearts and will never be forgotten."

Zhao Ti waved his hand and said, "Go and bring in some wine and meat. I didn't eat enough just now, so I'll enjoy it slowly."

Wu Xiong went out in response, and soon he and Zuo Zimu brought in wine and meat and placed them on the table.

Zhao Ti glanced at the girl and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The girl stared at him blankly. Zhao Ti smiled and said, "As long as you ask for it, I will ask you to sit down and eat with me."

The girl didn't say anything. Zhao Ti reached out and rubbed her head. The girl trembled all over. Zhao Ti said, "Then just watch me eat."

After saying this, he started eating and drinking by himself. The girl blinked her eyes and moved her throat, as if she was swallowing saliva.

At this moment, Zhao Ti suddenly raised his other hand from his side and placed it on the table.

There was a ring on the finger of this hand, which was carved from some unknown gem and was shining brightly.

The girl was secretly looking at the food, and suddenly she saw the ring. She was startled and could no longer control the expression on her face, revealing a look of surprise.

Zhao Ti said to Wu Xiong, "This time I am on Piao Miao Peak, in addition to capturing Tong Lao, I also want to subdue Ling Jiu Palace."

Wu Xiong was stunned: "The leader wants to conquer Lingjiu Palace?"

Zhao Ti said: "That's right."

Wu Xiong said hurriedly: "All of our subordinates obey the orders of the leader, but...the women in Lingjiu Palace are vicious and stubborn, and none of them obey discipline. How can the leader subdue them?"

Zhao Ti said, "In the affairs of the world, justice and orthodoxy come first. In addition to being the leader of the Ming Cult, I am actually the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. Lingjiu Palace should be considered a subordinate of the Xiaoyao Sect. Piaomiao Peak is the property of the Xiaoyao Sect. I am commanding them as the leader. Those who dare not obey are treasonous to their master and ancestors. If Tong Lao disobeys, she will be punished like this. Her martial arts will be abolished and she will be hanged on the mountain to suffer the punishment of nature."

Wu Xiong was surprised and asked, "The leader is also the head of Xiaoyao Sect?"

Zhao Ti smiled and raised his hand: "This is the Seven Treasures Ring, the token of the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. I also possess the Beiming Divine Art, a martial art that is essential for the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. If I am not the leader, who is?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiong hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, you are omnipotent and have unified the martial arts world. I admire you very much."

At this time, the girl's eyes were fixed on the ring on Zhao Ti's hand, her face was blank and dull, and there seemed to be tears in her big eyes.

Zhao Ti glanced at her and said calmly: "Although you can't speak, you are still a member of the Xiaoyao Sect. From now on, you should respect me as the Sect Master. Otherwise, you will be betraying your master and ancestors and betraying the Xiaoyao Sect."

The girl looked at him, a hint of anger involuntarily appearing in her eyes, her two little fists were clenched tightly, her small body was trembling, her eyes did not move, and no one knew what she was thinking.
