The Book of Troubled Times

Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe's eyes without blinking. The pupils of both sides were as deep as a thousand feet deep pool, neither of them could see any emotion.

But all the noise around him seemed to be far away, and even Yue Hongling, who was watching the play with his chin resting on his side, became a little blurred.

Sisi heard her own voice, as distant as a dream: "Old man~ you have worked so hard, what reward do you want?"

As if he had just woken up after speaking, he quickly glanced at Yue Hongling, and subconsciously put his little feet under the small bench.

How can such a small bench hold your feet, and the result of being awkwardly stuffed in is that it almost fell forward with a sound of "oops".

Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand to support her shoulder without any trace: "The injury on my arm is not serious, so the saint doesn't need to be so concerned."

On the surface, it really looks like Sisi is leaning forward to look at his arm...

Sisi took a deep breath, finally sat down firmly, and said lightly: "I will reward you later."

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "Okay."

Lei Zhentang thought about it for a long time. He was so annoyed that he wanted to destroy the fifth seat of the Spiritual Clan. Under the general situation, he really couldn't open his mouth. He finally suppressed it and decided to wait until later: "Everyone, the joint selection of the five clans. It is an important moment for me in Miaojiang. It is getting late, and there are still many injured patients here, so it is not time to chat. You may wish to rest in Dali for a night, and we will discuss the specific matters tomorrow."

He didn't even bother to do the gesture of being the host and serving wine. One can imagine how upset he was at the moment, and his mind was full of wanting to delay this beforehand until the next day's Wufang meeting. , or take advantage of the last to do something tonight.

Everyone could see his thoughts, but no one revealed them, and his thoughts dispersed in various ways.

Before leaving, Pan Wan and Sisi hugged, and then cast a look of fascination and confusion at Zhao Changhe: "Guardian Si, please take care of me in the future."

Standing in front of Zhao Changhe, Sisi subconsciously raised her toes to try to cover her gaze, and almost jumped.

Pan Wan couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help pinching Sisi's face: "It looks like a little fox, but it's actually..."

Sisi bared her teeth.

"...Well, it's a little fox." Pan Wan turned and left, leaving a reminder: "He deliberately left the place overnight, and it seems to be causing trouble tonight. There are few of you, so be careful at night."

After Pan Wan left, the leader of the Bai tribe came over and performed a courtesy that Zhao Changhe couldn't understand: "Guardian Si is a good man, please keep in touch in the future."

Sisi hurriedly transmitted the voice: "The Patriarch of the Bai Clan, Dao Qingfeng."

Do you have a sister named Dao Baifeng... Zhao Changhe muttered to himself, and also bowed: "Clan Chief Dao has helped a lot, thank you."

Dao Qingfeng looked a little weird, his eyes turned around on the faces of Sisi and Zhao Changhe, he always felt that the posture of these two was wrong, who is the saint and who is the protector, why do I feel that one is a maid and the other is a master?

"Help each other, it's hard to say who helps who more." He finally didn't show his slander, glanced at Lei Zhentang over there, and said with a sneer: "Anyway, as long as they don't come to power, everything is easy to talk about... you guys Be careful at night."

The leaders of two big clans in a row reminded to be careful at night, and what Lei Zhentang wanted to do was almost known to passers-by.

Sisi didn't care, and smiled like a flower: "Understood. Let's go back to the village."

When the crowd dispersed, Lei Zhentang quietly sent people to lie in ambush on the only way back to Xizhou from Dali. He stayed in ambush for a whole night and did not see the shadow of the group of dogs and men of the Spirit Race. where.

What's even more disgusting is that they can't be found anywhere in Dali City, as if the whole team disappeared in a hurry.

Sisi is not a little saint who looks like a fledgling of a small clan and is ignorant of world affairs. She is a little fox who dared to go to Kunlun and enter the Central Plains alone at the age of a girl to make troubles in the south of the Yangtze River. How could he easily reveal his whereabouts and get blocked when he is used to the world?

He said, "We're going back to the village now," but when he actually went out, he got mixed up with Dao Qingfeng's brigade, turned a small half-circle around the southern part of Erhai Lake, and went to Fengyi Town, where the Bai people's forces are entrenched on the opposite side...

When Lei Zhentang was looking for their traces here, Zhao Changhe was already lying in the guest courtyard treated by the Bai people, and several trusted girls brought by Sisi surrounded him to give him healing.

"Cough." Sisi's dry cough came from outside the courtyard, and she walked in shaking her hands behind her back: "How's the injury?"

The little girls of the Spirit Race actually had the guts to ask: "Saint, you brought other men into the account the day before yesterday."

Grass?

Sisi glared angrily: "What's the matter with you! Get out!"

The little girls thought they had enough eye drops, and left contentedly. Before leaving the gate, they all gave Zhao Changhe a wink, which means that the saint is not a good person, she has a man, and you still come to us if you want to protect the law. Bar……

The door was closed, the two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed together.

Zhao Changhe laughed and said, "They actually dare to compete with the saint for men. Your prestige has not been established well."

Sisi snorted and said, "Aren't you very proud? Are you planning to sneak into someone's incense tent at night? I don't think they will refuse."

"It's still free, I can't stand being tied back by a Gu, that's poisonous."

Sisi stared at him for a while, then smiled sweetly: "So Dharma Protector Si would not dare to ask the saint for rewards, right..."

Zhao Changhe said: "The reward is for others to hear...Of course, if the holy lady insists on rewarding, then don't call her Guardian Si, just call me by my name."

Sisi: "..."

Zhao Changhe looked at the sky.

Sisi finally sighed, leaned forward and sat on a stool, and applied medicine to his arm: "You want to be a master so much...or is it because you want to be in such a relationship that you are seeking for my spiritual race?" profit?"

The fragrant wind was lingering on the tip of her nose, and Sisi, who usually had a changeable face and charming words, looked very upright at this moment, her hands were meticulously bandaged with medicine, her eyes were a little distracted, and she seemed a little melancholy and melancholy.

The expression at this moment reminded Zhao Changhe of Tang Wanzhuang.

Sure enough, once people have a burden, they will have some of the same things.

Zhao Changhe said: "I regard you as a friend, and of course I consider your clan... How can it be so utilitarian? If you really want to talk about the purpose, the experience of my own sword test of hundreds of clans is more meaningful. I am very happy... Well, on the contrary, I borrowed the identity of the Spirit Race, and I am clear."

Sisi whispered: "Do you really think I'm a friend? The first night I saw you, I laid a spell on you..."

Zhao Changhe said: "Isn't that just a prank?"

Sisi didn't say that you pinched my wrist to seal my blood, but you were guarding according to the enemy's specifications... It's meaningless to say it now, the unclear relationship between everyone is at this moment It should have disappeared and entered a new node.

It is not utilitarian, but there are actually some, of course, maybe Zhao Changhe didn't think so much on the spot - if it is said that Tang Wanzhuang's intention to establish a trading relationship with Sisi was to plant a foreshadowing that can be used in the future, then this is now When the foreshadowing broke out in an all-round way, it came in handy.

Miaojiang has reversed. Even the Bai and Yao people have not firmly opposed this general direction. It can be said that it has become an established fact.

However, in the anti-thief alliance, now that our own people have been inserted, everything is still within the controllable range, and the Bai and Yao people can continue to fight for their positions.

The question is, does this person... Sisi recognize him?

"I told you before that rebellion is not in the interests of our clan now. We have very few core clan members who have come out, and we are still in the foundation stage of absorbing and gathering forces. Participating in such a big event at this moment will only be crushed by the torrent, and we will return to the secret realm in a hurry ..." Sisi finally tied the bandage and patted it twice with satisfaction: "But now your actions have given me a chance to grow stronger..."

Zhao Changhe wondered: "What is the method of strengthening? Can different ethnic groups merge into one?"

"Yes, for example, there are many mountain villages, small villages and houses. It's really hard to say which clan they belong to. There are also those who have lost their clans and have nowhere to go. After they live together and marry, they will be integrated into the new clan. , This situation has not been digested yet. Finally..." Sisi smiled: "Now if the southwest is completely expelled from the summer, will the Xia people who used to live here be killed or expelled? Or simply hide their names and join them?"

Zhao Changhe nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, Bashan Jianlu actually joined the Heimiao gang as a whole, although I don't know the internal reason... In short, they can absorb Xia people, and so can you. There are actually many Xia people here. The position of the fifth seat and conscious absorption can make you grow rapidly in this matter, and form a real fifth force like a snowball."

Sisi said leisurely: "Due to the absorption of a large number of Xia people, this will be a pro-Xia force at that time. This is a big trend. As a leader, you must follow this intention. There is no need for you to say friends, and there is no need for Tang Wanzhuang to establish What kind of friendship is there, and there is no need for some people to want to conquer me and become his maid."

Zhao Changhe was a little embarrassed: "I really don't mean that, I'm just playing tricks..."

"Really?" Sisi finally had a normal conversation without a cup of tea, and began to revert to her old ways, her voice became charming: "Since you don't want to conquer me, do you still want to ask for rewards?"

Zhao Changhe's face was sullen, his eyes were completely instinctive, and he fell on her jade feet again.

She didn't try to hide on purpose, she stretched it out in front of her very casually, as if she could touch it.

Under the moonlight, the pink toenails seemed to glow with a pearl-like soft light.

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but ask, "You've been barefooted all this time, why are you so crystal clear without any calluses?"

"Hee...he has a Gu technique to protect himself, look..." Sisi bit her lower lip, and slowly leaned back, her feet seemed to be powerlessly resting on Zhao Changhe's legs.

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Look at the fart, who can see what kind of Gu is there?

Sisi Mei said: "As for what kind of Gu... Do you want to touch it with your own hands, master, and study it yourself?"

There is no need for Zhao Changhe to fall into a battle between heaven and man... Sisi's voice fell, and there was a "bang", the door was pushed open, and Yue Hongling entered leisurely: "Let's check it out, the holy girl's feet were touched by a man, and it is said It doesn't seem too good to go out."
