Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 805: Journey to the Western Regions

Chapter 805: Journey to the Western Regions

No matter how bright they are, if they can't stay in public for a long time, their reputations will be completely ruined. Zhao Changhe will leave soon.

In fact, as long as you don’t do it in such a large public, it’s not uncommon for you to do something inside. Tang Wanzhuang hoped that Zhao Changhe would come back quietly after leaving, but even Baoqin knew that would not happen.

The journey from the capital to the Western Regions is thousands of miles apart. During the three days of the appointment with Ying Wu, at least half of the day will be spent on the road, and there are some variables to consider. So this was Zhao Changhe's last night in Beijing, and he had to leave early in the morning. He definitely had to exchange some opinions and make arrangements with Huangfu Qing and the others that night, so he couldn't stay here forever.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Tang Wanzhuang went to the palace before dawn. When he arrived at the Ancestral Temple, he found that Zhao Changhe was no longer there.

The four elephants are all present, and they seem to be practicing a simple four-image formation without Zhao Changhe.

Tang Wanzhuang took a look and found that after such a night, Huangfu Qing had reached the second level of imperial realm.

"Yesterday, when everyone had their own achievements, I didn't see any signs of breakthrough from you. Did you make a breakthrough last night?" Tang Wanzhuang was very surprised. No matter how you break through these days, you are like cabbage. If you just cultivate with Changhe, Okay, so why can’t I?

"There is something else going on tonight." Huangfu Qing's face showed no pride, but instead pouted a little, showing a slight resentment at being favored.

Tang Wanzhuang looked a little funny: "Hey, I helped you break through, why are you still acting like a resentful woman?"

Sanniang smiled and said: "Changhe used this power of the sky to directly take her to travel thousands of miles to the land of Nanming Lihuo, absorb Nanming Lihuo, and completely push the power of Suzaku to its peak. After finishing, he left and followed the scene. It seems... Some people thought that their breakthrough would be a story of hardships and dangers, but the result was this, a big disappointment."

Tang Wanzhuang is even funnier.

What are you doing... This is the breakthrough to the second level of Yujing, the perfection and pinnacle of the Suzaku Law, the pinnacle that all warriors in the world dream of, what do you think it is for, leaving it there for you to fall in love with Chang He use?

What's more, Nanming Lihuo was discovered so early, and the fact that he was able to attract a sword for a long time means that the owner does not have any special protection. He only needs Changhe's perception to be more detailed. If he can find a specific place, he can just go there. , something that has long been regarded as something in the pocket, how can you be so earth-shattering and so upsetting?

Of course Tang Wanzhuang can completely understand the feeling of expecting a story, but this shouldn’t be Huangfu’s love...

Is this still the same Lord Suzaku from before? Are you exhausted?

Xia Chichi put her hand to her lips, looking like she was trying to hide it from Master. She turned sideways and whispered to Tang Wanzhuang: "She felt that we had a happy day with us yesterday, but she didn't enjoy the same treatment. , being jealous.”

"Xia Chichi, you are a rip-off!" Huangfu glared: "Who is jealous because of this thing? He and I live together on the grassland, are we jealous? ?My fellow servants know no shame, Tang Wanzhuang!”

Tang Wanzhuang finally laughed out loud and didn't bother to pay attention to her at all.

You are a master and a disciple, and you are considered a mother and daughter... I don’t know if Chang He has ever done this before, but sooner or later, you have the nerve to blame me.

Huangfuqing knew that his performance was unconvincing, and he didn't want Tang Wanzhuang to possess Qin to reveal other things about himself, so he quickly changed the subject: "The four ancient elephants all only have the second level of imperial realm, and cannot break through to the third level. This It’s the limitations of the Four Symbols. If we want to reach the third level, we still need to find another way. Do you have any ideas?”

No one paid any attention to her.

Any ideas... Not everyone in the world wants to pursue the ultimate path. There are traces for people below the third level. Everyone has their own inheritance and exploration direction. It can be achieved if the talent and hard work are in place. But when it comes to the extreme level of the three-level law, it has more to do with the energy channels, and it has a bit of a destined meaning. It does not mean that hard work will definitely lead to rewards.

On the contrary, forcing may lead to paranoia and unpredictable consequences.

If Emperor Ye is pursuing the alternative to Heaven, it is a higher level of paranoia. I don’t know if the chaos of the era is caused by this, but it is a calamity for heaven and earth... This is the most typical example.

It’s not that Huangfu Qing didn’t know about it, there was nothing to deal with. But having said that, if there is anyone among us who is most interested in this kind of thing, it used to be her Zhuque Venerable Huangfu Qing, but now... looking at what she was jealous about just now, I know that this will not happen anymore. .

Xia Chichi directly pretended that the master did not exist and continued to say to Tang Wanzhuang: "I will go to court with you later to arrange the matters for the following days. Next, I will focus on practicing the Four Symbol Formation. , please worry about the state affairs. I will show up one last time in Chunwei to conduct a palace examination, and then we will leave."

For the first time, Tang Wanzhuang performed the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers in private: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

There is a little sigh in my heart - in fact, it is all retreat or leaving. But if the late emperor could arrange things in advance and finish important things before leaving when he was in retreat or going out for a long time, then the situation would definitely be It won't be like before.

In the end, Xia Chichi's response was: "Are you being so serious just to make him more excited next time?"

Sanniang Huangfuqing's eyes fell entirely on Tang Wanzhuang's face. With an expression of "We understand, we really know how to play", Tang Wanzhuang walked away.

Sanniang sighed: "You are still pouting, it's me who really should be pouting. A few days ago, you said that you will go with me no matter how you go on the next expedition, but now you are with me Why are you still such disgusting-looking demons? All men are liars."

…………

Zhao Changhe drove Wu Zui and crossed the Qinling Mountains.

To the north is Guanlong, which is covered by Jiuyou, and to the south is Bashu waiting to receive it.

Li Shentong asked himself or Tang Wanzhuang to accept it, but he could not trust anyone else in the court. It's a pity that Tang Wanzhuang can't leave now because she has no time. Although she is passing by, this is a territorial annexation, and it can't be done by just one person running over and saying a word...

I can only let it go now and receive it later... Zhao Changhe thought about it and went south to visit Li Shentong's injury first.

"Are you here to take over Bashu alone?" Situ Xiao greeted Zhao Changhe who descended from the sky speechlessly: "Are you playing house?"

"No, I'm passing by to visit Senior Li."

Situ Xiao took him all the way to the back hall and asked strangely: "So, do you want Bashu?"

Zhao Changhe patted Situ Xiao on the shoulder: "Should I directly make you the prefect of Shu County, or the governor of Yizhou? Change the flag first, change the flag."

Situ Xiao looked as if he had eaten something: "So are you really playing house?"

"Why, you won't do it?"

"If I am going to be the governor of Shu County, why should I give this place to you?" Situ Xiao was so speechless: "You really think I am surrendering to you, right? We think we can manage it better by giving it to you. Okay, what's wrong with you turning it over to me?"

Zhao Changhe looked at him and suddenly laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I said that all the heroes in the world fight to death for a piece of land, but here we seem to dislike each other."

Situ Xiao rolled his eyes: "Who is doing this just for a piece of land?"

"Okay, okay, I said you don't have to come over at night makeup, she really doesn't have time. Let's do this, I think you are familiar with Li Si'an, he is a close confidant at night makeup, how about I let him come? ”

"Okay, okay." Situ Xiao asked strangely: "I said you guys obviously have nothing to do, why are you so busy?"

"I'm really busy. You know nothing about state affairs. If you really knew it, you wouldn't give me the land."

Situ Xiao was speechless and could only say: "This time you defeated Hulu and shocked the world. If you don't take a good rest and enjoy the respect of the world, why are you passing by here?"

"What a shame, I haven't seen you salute yet? Besides, I haven't seen many people laughing when I return to Beijing."

"Laughing? Who the **** dares to laugh at you in the capital?"

"Dare you, aunt laughs."

Situ Xiao: "...Are you still an emperor who dominates the world?"

"No, that's my wife." Zhao Changhe answered matter-of-factly.

Having arrived in the inner hall while talking, Zhao Changhe was stunned and found that Yuxu was also here, playing chess with Li Shentong.

You said that you are enemies and not friends. I think it is better to call us happy enemies. If we fight each other, we might end up in bed together.

Zhao Changhe complained in his heart that Li Shentong and Yuxu didn't even greet him and just played chess by themselves. Zhao Changhe looked at it for a while and found that Li Shentong's injuries were recovering well. Except for the broken arm, all other injuries had been healed, but the recovery of strength was still a bit slow... And as a practice that focuses on physical training, one arm was broken. Even if his practice is restored, his actual combat ability will never be at its peak.

Similarly, although Yuxu's foundation has not been damaged and can be repaired, but given his age, recovery is also as slow as a turtle crawling.

Zhao Changhe sighed, took out the Tai Chi diagram and gave it back to Yuxu: "Senior's diagram... Our Four Symbol Sect's study of formations and my personal breakthrough the day before yesterday were all due to his efforts. Thank you, senior."

Yuxu didn't answer: "Just keep it. Judging from your sullen brows, something happened again, maybe it will be useful. The old master is not going to fight now, so what's the use for me?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Self-defense...and this thing cannot have the same effect here as it did in the hands of seniors. It is regarded as a pearl covered in dust to me."

"It is now your duty to prevent the chaos of gods and demons and protect our peace. Anyway, we are in Emei, so we are of little value, and they will not find trouble to kill us." Yuxu said leisurely: "As for this Picture, I will pass you something, you can take a look when you have time. The Four Symbols teach the new Ye Emperor that Yin and Yang are not very effective for him, which will make everyone in the world laugh."

As he said this, he threw away a Taoist scripture and stopped talking while studying the chessboard.

Zhao Changhe: "..."

I always feel that Yuxu’s last words sound like he is saying that I am the father of your Sixiang Sect.

Li Shentong also threw away a bodybuilding book: "Take it and play with it. I still have to warn you that the physical body's protective power is the last hurdle after the other protections. Don't use your body as a shield casually, otherwise you will be like me. ”

Zhao Changhe: "..."

"Go, go, don't disturb our chess game, I have to kill this bully nose today."

Until he rode away from Emei, Zhao Changhe's face was still a little twitchy. It was in vain that I had been worrying about the injuries of these two people. They themselves were as if nothing had happened, and they looked completely open-minded.

But... I'm a little envious.

I don’t know when my journey will stop.

Zhao Changhe reined in his horse and looked back. It was time to meet Sisi further south from Emei... He really wanted to see her... But this time, if he left after a quick meeting, it would only add to the sadness of parting?

Thousands of miles away, Sisi was practicing in the temple. Suddenly, something moved in her heart, and she smiled sweetly: "He is thinking about me, and so strongly... He is afraid that he will leave after meeting me, which makes me feel even worse, and he is also afraid of doing something. That would make me mistakenly think that he only uses me to vent his sexual desires... He would actually think of this..."

Sisi stood up, turned around and knelt down in front of the statue of the ancestral god, and prayed in a low voice: "My husband is going to be in danger again this time. May the ancestral **** protect my husband and defeat the powerful enemy as soon as possible, so that he can come back and stay with me for a long time." ”

…………

Zhao Changhe led Wu Zui and fell outside a group of Western Region-style buildings. He led the horse slowly and looked around with wide eyes.

This is Ying Wu's base camp... When the **** descended before, he didn't bother to observe the surroundings and went straight into Ying Wu's house. As a result, if we look closely from the outside this time, we can see that this horse bandit that Nima was talking about has such a magnificent building like a palace. It is surrounded by tall soldiers with swords on their waists and staring closely at the horses. A lone traveler.

You can hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the palace in the distance. The style is very different from that of China.

Peering in with his spiritual consciousness, he could clearly see a group of enchanting orchids dancing gracefully, wearing only silk scarves and showing their small waists. Ying Wu leaned on the soft chair, drank wine, and watched the dance with squinted eyes. His dressing style was different from what was common in the past. He looked like a wealthy businessman from the Western Regions. Only the amiable smile on his face was still so iconic.

"Stop." The guards half-drawn their sabers and stopped Zhao Changhe, who was leading the horse: "The Fifth Master is hosting a banquet for distinguished guests today, and no one else is allowed in."

Zhao Changhe said: "How do you know the distinguished guest is not me?"

I don’t know if he was a distinguished guest, but the guards did feel that there was a high probability that this person was their boss in Middle-earth, so they asked: "The number."

Number... Zhao Changhe twitched the corner of his mouth: "Zhao Si."

"Pfft..." Ying Wu, who seemed to be watching a dance but was actually watching Zhao Changhe's performance in the palace, suddenly spit out the wine and choked and coughed.

The guards' eyes widened.

The numbers of thieves in the Western Regions are all numbered from the thousands onward, which sounds like livestock tags. The first hundred numbers are from the Central Plains, and the first nine among them are the old brothers who first made their fortune with Ying Wu, and basically all of them are dead. , all descendants will inherit their names. So it doesn't mean that one to four is bigger than five. In terms of actual power, it may not be as good as two hundred and five, but it does not prevent others from treating these numbers as top VIPs.

The problem is that Zhao Si does not exist, Si is Li Si'an, and he is Li Si.

"You dare to fake, fake?" The guard's hands were trembling: "Do you know the consequences of this!"

Zhao Changhe blinked: "So majestic."

Ying Wu's voice came from the palace: "Hey, if you really dare to be Zhao Si, I will admit you. Tell Si An to stay back."

"Why don't you dare?" Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "The fifth master is loyal, and it is good to be brothers."

Ying Wu was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "You are the only distinguished guest today, so there is no need to play this trick."

The only distinguished guest... The large group of guards on the left and right instantly separated and bent down, revealing a long red carpet in the center, leading to the center of the hall: "Welcome your distinguished guest."

"I'm not playing around." Zhao Changhe handed the horse to the guard casually and strolled in: "I just visited Yuxu Li Shentong... Their injuries are not healed, and they don't know how to make a complete recovery. A few years ago. Now that the old Tianbang has withered, Master Wu suddenly sighed a little. "

"So you are arrogant and have your own aura slightly linked to our brotherhood. Are you protecting me?"

"Well... the seniors I work with seem to be a bit miserable, and I don't want to happen again."

Ying Wu laughed.

Zhao Changhe entered the palace with laughter and looked at the treasures and pearls. There were brilliant songs and dances everywhere, and a white spring scenery.

Zhao Changhe turned a blind eye and sat down next to Ying Wuxia's head, picked up a piece of cantaloupe and gnawed on it, and said casually: "Didn't you say that you are an abstinent person? You used to want to chase Suzaku, but after abstinence, you no longer have the intention. Could it be fake? Do you still have thoughts?"

Ying Wu rolled his eyes: "Can't you see that this is arranged for you?"

While they were talking, Hu Ji sat over and poured wine for Zhao Changhe with her eyebrows lowered. The gauze on her body was looming, and she could almost see the spring scenery clearly.

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Then Sanniang will fight with you. Although you are not much older than her, you should be uncle in seniority. I will consider you as your niece and son-in-law..."

"I didn't think she would care about this. She was willing to do it with her tutoring sisters, so she still cares about having fun? Don't worry, they have nothing to do with men entertaining guests. I won't tell her, just play with them. ."

"I will care..." Zhao Changhe smiled: "Just withdraw, no need."

Ying Wuqi said: "Have you changed your temper?"

"Not to mention that I have never liked this, it's not that I have changed my temper... Even if it is, with Yangyang's situation in my heart, how can I still be in the mood to have fun?" Zhao Changhe said: "Although I don't know Why is Fifth Brother testing me inexplicably this time? Anyway, this kind of testing method makes me a little bald. We have been working together for so long and still don’t understand me so well..."

Ying Wu looked at him with a sip of wine and suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay, let's withdraw."

The singing and dancing in the palace stopped, the orchids quietly evacuated, and the palace soon became deserted.

Ying Wu leisurely said: "I believe in all your abilities and character, the only thing I don't believe in is your resistance to beauty. What does it mean to not understand you? Ask everyone in the world, who doesn't think so?"

Zhao Changhe was a little helpless: "Why are you trying this? Is it related to this opponent?"

"I don't know who my opponent is, but at least I know that Bo Xun is still in Kunlun, and he may have a share... Maybe you want to say that you were beaten violently in Chang'an, but it's different. After all, the separated souls will It's just a matter of separation. Home and away games are two different things. You are very experienced and don't need me to explain."

"Bo Xun was indeed a separated soul at the beginning, no wonder he didn't die..."

Ying Wu smiled: "I have been thinking that your hard power, combat intelligence, sense of smell, and will are all impeccable. If someone can restrain you, there are probably two types... One is Bo Xun. It’s very typical to be able to evoke inner demons.”

Zhao Changhe thought of the illusion he had in Bo Xun and sighed: "I admit it. What about the second one?"

"Female."
