The Book of Troubled Times

Guigui broke through to the second level of the Imperial Realm, giving Zhao Changhe even greater help in dual cultivation.

The absorption of energy is also efficient. Previously, the energy of faith that was so dense in the secret realm of Changshengtian has not been fully digested by the God of Changsheng for so long. He has a very tragic attribute. The belief of the grassland people is "immortality." "Heaven" is not called "God", so the power of faith is mainly concentrated in this place regarded as the Heaven of Immortality, and he needs to change his hands to benefit himself.

As a result, his recovery efficiency is much slower than that of Poseidon, and so much energy is accumulated here.

Dual cultivation can greatly improve the efficiency of energy absorption and circulation, but Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling Huangfu Qing Sanniang took turns to do dual cultivation here before, and the energy here was not even used up half, after all, the time was only a few days.

Once there is a second-level imperial realm Sanniang as a guide, the efficiency will double again.

The shamans and guards around the temple were shocked to feel that even the external energy was being sucked away by the spiral. They could almost feel how the energy in the Changsheng Heaven was flowing violently across the boundary. The shamans who had sensed the Changsheng Heavenly God digesting and practicing inside They were all shocked.

No wonder the gods died in their hands... If this violent vortex of energy really spilled out to the outside world, it would be swept thousands of miles away and destroyed. How could they withstand it inside...

If they knew that they were suffering through this kind of mobile communication, they would probably doubt their lives even more, wondering what the bodies of these two people were made of.

In just two days, Sanniang's state was completely stable and improved a little, while Zhao Changhe's remaining hidden injuries were all eliminated, and his cultivation was directly pushed to the threshold of the second level.

"It seems that I have to wait for an opportunity. It is not a matter of quantitative change to qualitative change." Zhao Changhe turned to look at the thin clouds and mist in the secret area of ​​Changshengtian, and suddenly smiled: "Every time things related to Xuanwu are It is particularly direct. The stones left by ancient Xuanwu contain rich energy crystals. When they are overflowed, they condense like jelly and can be absorbed directly. It was a great blessing for me at the time. This time, together with the current Xuanwu, it is also rough and simple. Absorbing energy and pushing the cultivation of the first level of Yujing to the peak...is this considered a Xuanwu destiny? Thick and steady?"

Sanniang jumped on his back and let him carry him out comfortably, saying: "Now you are the one who studies the cause and effect of belief in Qi. It is my turn to consult you about your fate. Tell me, what do you think of my cause and effect?" ?”

Zhao Changhe carried Sanniang out of the house with a lot of jolts, and said with a smile: "Who would bother to go see those things when you have nothing to do? Besides..."

"And what?"

"And when you do the things you love to do, you see all kinds of lines and all kinds of breaths flowing around you. What are you doing... Of course it's better to shut down."

Sanniang burst out laughing: "I don't care, tell me my cause and effect."

Zhao Changhe turned to look at her pretty face and said with a smile, "I told you, will you pinch me?"

"You speak first."

"You will be in my hands for the rest of your life, you can't run away..."

"That's what I want to see. What I want to see is how many fat sons I will have."

Zhao Changhe weighed the roundness in his arms and lifted it up: "There will be five, six, seven or eight who can have children with my tortoises."

"Hehe." Sanniang kissed him and said charmingly: "Then what you brought in yesterday... turned into dual cultivation energy again, why don't you give it to me~"

"Ahem..." Zhao Changhe quickly changed the subject: "So when it comes to observation... I used to think that when you become more spiritual, the things you see will be more essential and restored. For example, will you see the enlargement of the tiny pores on the face of a beautiful woman? , there were mites crawling inside, so I lost all interest... Facts have proved that after the cultivation is high, the control is also high, and no one will make themselves uncomfortable."

"Actually, that's true. That's why many people are no longer sexual with women after they have reached a higher level of cultivation. They are just skeletons and bugs." Sanniang curled her lips and said, "I look like bugs, do you want to eat them?"

"Eat." Zhao Changhe turned to look at her, pecked her face abruptly, and laughed: "My best wife in the world, what dirt can come close to me? Your face is as clean and pure as jade. "

Sanniang said: "You are the best in the world, but you have made two people miserable... and now you have to carry them~"

The voice was so seductive that all the shamans around the temple who were bowing to greet them shuddered.

What a peerless monster... Is she really the best in the world? King Zhao said this himself...

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Am I talking about my skills in bed? If you want to talk about this, I am indeed the best in the world."

Shamans: "..."

"Smelly..." Sanniang leaned over and quietly licked the scar on his face: "You could have eliminated this long ago, why do you keep it on purpose?"

"Keep it, remember the time when I was still an ordinary person."

Sanniang tilted her head, smiled slightly, and hugged him tighter.

At this moment, Zhao Changhe felt that the current situation was changing and he could not stay here forever. In fact, if he still wanted to practice, he could continue to practice for ten days and a half, and then he would decide whether he could accumulate enough to break the second level. But after the injury healed, I didn’t plan to continue. I came out to observe the grassland conditions one last time and then prepared to leave.

Cultivation is not the first priority, there are many things to do... A brief glimpse of the crazy white tiger in ancient times, and the tip of the iceberg of information about the blind man made Zhao Changhe feel a little worried.

I have been away from the Central Plains for so long. I don’t know if anything has happened... Far away from the Holy Mountain and the vast sea, it is okay to observe the grasslands, but it is slow to receive information from the Central Plains. After all, the strength is not enough, and the Central Plains need to send messages.

While the shamans of the temple were kowtowing and worshiping, Zhao Changhe carried Sanniang on his back, who didn't want to move, and put his hand on the altar of the temple.

There is a change that was not expected before... Although the prairie golden wolf's Qi has dispersed, it still remains in the corners.

During the 20 to 30 years of Timur's rule, the grassland was the most prosperous in history. The military fronts directly encompassed all the tribes in the Western Regions, and the whole country was regarded as a khanate. It is inevitable that some people will remember the past, and they are even more dissatisfied with the Han army that is now in disarray. The garrison is like the Supreme Emperor, the new Khan has to kneel down and call himself his son, and in the future he will have to be canonized by a big man... It is a spineless humiliation.

Just like how many years have passed since Daxia before, there are still "remnants of the previous dynasty", but now they have become Chichi's personal team, and even Zhuque Tang Wanzhuang can't get involved. The same is true for the Golden Wolf Qi now. No matter how hard it is dissipated, it will never be completely dissipated. Zhao Changhe can be sure that despite the fact that all the ministries are honest now, it will take a few years for someone to claim to be a direct descendant of the Golden Wolf tribe to step forward.

However, after seeing the golden wolf's skeleton in the vast sea secret realm the day before yesterday, and not intending to use it, but burying it, the energy suddenly changed subtly. A strange kind of respect and sighs appeared from all directions. I wonder if it was due to some kind of mysterious "dream entrustment"... or there were other factors. In short, Zhao Changhe could feel the dissatisfaction dissipating, and the respect and memory for the Golden Wolf tribe was somewhat transferred to his side.

After all, what Timur hated most was the vulture hunting for teeth, not Zhao Changhe, and he also gave Timur a respectable death, and finally buried the golden wolf totem... Except for the conquerors, there was no public enmity between the two parties. Personal hatred outside of the relationship is worthy of respect for each other.

Winner or loser, there is nothing to say... You respect me, and I respect you even more.

It seems that Batu's War Lion Division has not received much dividends from the collapse of the Golden Horde, but it seems that more and more tribes are willing to submit to the Han Dynasty. In the end, Batu can only be a nominal "Grassland Leader". It will never be possible to restore the glory of the Khanate.

In Huangshaji, Monan, a new city began to be built. This was the bridgehead where the Han Dynasty directly sent governors to directly manage it and extended its tentacles to Mobei step by step.

Sanniang shared Zhao Changhe's observation, and she was not too surprised by the miracle of the flow of energy in the grassland, because she also had the same ability at sea. She was particularly interested in the expansion of Huangshaji into a city, where she had once been the "collector". She looked at it for a while and said with a smile, "What city should it be called over there?"

"Logically, it should be called Hohhot... but the location seems a little mismatched. They mean Qingcheng, with Daqing Mountain to the north and Luanshi Mountain to the north... Hey, maybe we can match it in the future. It doesn't matter, just call it that. "

While they were talking, a girl arrived at the temple after a long journey, but it was Sanniang's subordinate who came from the direction of Huangshaji. Seeing Sanniang lying motionless on the man's back, the visitor twitched his lips and said, "See the venerable god...see the venerable one."

Sanniang happily waved and said hello: "Is the swallow here?"

Zhao Changhe took a look at it and secretly wondered if this swallow would run away in a car? Soon I found that the face looked familiar and I had seen it many times in Huangshaji.

Sanniang turned to the shamans serving around the temple and introduced: "This is Wei Yueyan, my disciple. From now on, I will be responsible for the naturalization of Changshengtian to my Four Symbols Sect."

The shamans knew that this would be the case, so they all bowed their heads and said: "I have seen Bo'e..."

Bo'e, originally means shaman, and is named after him with respect. Sanniang waved her hand: "We have always recognized this name as the original Bo'e, so there is no need to call it that way. If you respect the traditions of both parties, you can change it to High Priest, which has a similar meaning."

"yes."

Sanniang patted Wei Yueyan on the shoulder: "The faith of the grassland has to be linked to us. This is a big deal and I can't trust anyone else. You have been with me in Huangshaji for many years and you are my most trusted right-hand man. Please pay more attention in the future... Actually It’s not difficult. Once you do it, you’ll know how well the God has laid the foundation for you.”

"Yes." Wei Yueyan glanced at "Zun Shen", the way Zhu Bajie is carrying his wife... can't you be a little more dignified? With this look on his face, I would believe him if you said he was a hot pig... Oh, by the way, he is really a hot pig.

Sanniang didn't bother to care about what others were complaining about, she just said: "The conditions here are good, the high priest of the temple is highly respected, but it is much better than eating sand before."

Wei Yueyan knew that this was Sanniang's promotion, so she bowed her head devoutly: "I will live up to your honor."

"That's okay." Sanniang patted the fire pig in the riding room with satisfaction: "Go back?"

Zhao Changhe smiled: "Go back."

"Hey!" The horse neighed, and the black tail flew to the hall. Zhao Changhe carried his wife on his back and climbed onto Wu Zui, soared away in the clouds and disappeared in an instant.

The shamans all looked up to watch their backs, and then looked at each other with weird expressions.

Who has conquered such a large area of ​​​​the world without being arrogant, enjoying happiness, plundering treasures, whipping slaves, and playing with beauties... He really got tired of staying in a secret realm with his beauty for a few days, and recovered from his injuries. He left without any regrets.

To be honest, even the various branches of the Han army engaged in some robbery and adultery, but since the attitude above was this, the attitude below would not go too far, and the overall restraint was relatively good. Many old people have recalled the military of this era for half their lives, and feel that they can never find such a serious army.

He said he wanted to remember that he was an ordinary person, but the people on the grassland thought that he was like a god... The patron saint of the Han Dynasty only existed to protect that country.

Maybe he will also be the patron saint of the grassland in the future?

Maybe as long as there's no betrayal, that is.

…………

Although Huangfu Qing and Yue Hongling were the first to return to the court, they were still so far away and were not even halfway there yet. In the end, Huangfu Qing was really impatient with the time spent on the road, so he left a branch soul to control the troops and horses to show off, and he and Yue Hongling flew back to the capital first.

Tang Wanzhuang had just left the court and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion a little tired.

During this period of time, she only went on one expedition, guarding Yanmen to drive away Feng Yin, but she was injured in this one. Later, she led the army to regain the southern and northern Shanxi, and used the so-called "jianghu method" that Suzaku had not relied on before. The troubles left by the method will be eliminated one by one, and new standardized governance will be established.

This is also a water grinding process. When the grassland war is over, her tail is not even finished...

They are also worried about logistics problems. Although the logistics model has changed, the military resources brought by the large army are only that much. They still need to be sent to the front line in an endless stream, especially artillery. They can transport as much as they can produce. In the late Tang Dynasty, Zhuang was running between Sanjin and the capital. He was so busy that he didn't even care about his injuries.

While watching The Book of Troubled Times, Tang Wanzhuang felt as if he was about to collapse, and he sighed in his heart. This time when Suzaku came back, she might have her tail raised to the sky, because it seemed that she had not done enough. , at least not as brilliant as her Suzaku.

But there is no way to speed up these things, especially the Three Jin Incident and the Yanmen Incident, which are not the stinky tail left by your Suzaku.

But that can't be blamed on Suzaku, that was all he could do at that time.

No matter what, it would be great to win this battle. Today at the court meeting, everyone was in high spirits and were discussing how to reward the three armies, how to award meritorious service, and how to celebrate the occasion. Tang Wanzhuang was naturally happy. Even if she was laughed to death by a stupid bird, it didn't matter. Winning was what mattered.

From then on, the Han Dynasty had no foreign troubles. The Longyou issue alone was no longer a problem for the Han Dynasty. After so many years of hard work, a good result could finally be achieved.

Tang Wan's smile was as bright as a flower when she went to court. When she saw Cui Wenjing, who appeared for the first time in the court, her heart skipped a beat and her smile froze.

For the Battle of Hangu, the battle report has been sent before, and the victory or defeat was also stated in the Book of Troubled Times. But Cui Wenjing still went to court in person, and his expression was not asking for credit, but very serious, and he knew at a glance that something big was going on. what happened?

Cui Wenjing was not rude, and solemnly held his hands in a circle, and said sternly: "My little girl's cultivation suddenly skyrocketed, killing Huangsang instantly with one blow, and participating in the battle between two demons with similar appearances. Afterwards, she left hand in hand with them, not knowing where they were going. .”

The whole morning changed color.

Cui Yuanyang is missing?

Xia Chichi was asking: "The two demon gods with similar appearances mean..."

"The place where they fought was in the extremely high void, and the aura was extremely obscured. It was difficult for me to hear and see. I don't know the details, but..." Cui Wenjing said with a livid face, "What Huangshang shouted to Yang Yang before he died. The name is...Piaomiao."
