The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 217 Aftermath

Cui Yuanyang didn't know what Zhao Changhe was still doing here. After so much trouble, it was almost dawn. She didn't dare to be known to spend the night with a man in the inn. Taking advantage of the dim light of the sky, she hurried back to the Wang's guesthouse to be a good girl. up.

  Zhao Changhe didn't even move out of the room, and leisurely hid in it to study the gold leaf.

   There is no more movement from Jin Foil for the time being. According to the experience of the last "unblocking", Zhao Changhe will watch the replay of the match between the time of martial arts and Situ Xiao this time.

   This matter is very important, it is the most important weight for him to catch up with the martial arts understanding accumulated by others for many years in a short period of time, no one has such unique conditions.

  Situ Xiao’s practice mainly focuses on practicing external skills, and the fantasy point of view is mainly on body training. According to rumors, their Shenhuangzong has obtained a complete ancient inheritance, which corresponds to the "Tao Body" information just obtained.

  From this point of view, what Shenhuangzong got may not be complete. If it is complete, it may really be able to break through the upper limit of this world, and the suzerain Li Shentong will not be ranked fifth in the heaven list. Of course, there is also a possibility that although the inheritance is complete, it lacks some auxiliary treasures and cannot be refined.

  No matter what it is, Situ Xiao's things are worth reference.

Situ laughed and said that his palm technique is not considered rigid... A careful replay shows that although the body is forged, although the epee is used, and although he also pays attention to explosiveness, Situ Xiao's practice is not really "rigid", it is better to say steady.

  All his skills have a sense of balance and stability. He sticks to himself, defends and counterattacks, and only bursts out extremely strong power at the moment of attack, so as to kill the enemy in one fell swoop.

  If it is said that the Wang family's palm technique is like a huge wave, Situ Xiao is as immovable as a mountain.

   What's interesting is that he still plays drunken fists. The combination of stumbling body posture, immobile nature of moves, and casual and heroic temperament is very interesting.

  His forging is focused on horizontal training, in the direction of invulnerability, and he doesn't even feel like hitting the door with an iron head. Zhao Changhe doubted that ordinary swords would leave a mark on Situ Xiao at most. If his master Li Shentong was fifth on the list, he should be succulent? Can the dragon sparrow move?

  This seems to be the prerequisite for one person to defeat the army...

  Regardless of whether he can move or not, Zhao Changhe repeatedly pondered on Situ Xiao, first learning the meaning of "steadiness" and the way of dodging with the drunken step, the lower body does not move, and the upper body is like a willow.

   These are the relatively missing links in Zhao Changhe's martial arts, and it is self-summarization in the constant battles and replays to make up for the lack.

  Besides the assistance of Tianshu, Zhao Changhe was originally a genius.

  ...

   While the Wang family's perspective is full of plans, and Zhao Changhe's perspective is that his wife is really nice, from the perspective of Situ Xiao and others, this night is really cool.

  Most of them are people of the same generation with similar qualifications and similar understanding of martial arts. Even if there is a gap in practice, discussing martial arts is still very appropriate. Usually, it is not easy to meet anyone from all over the world, but it is rare that so many people get together to drink and discuss martial arts. For people in martial arts, it is really very enjoyable.

  In the eyes of the outside world, this is almost a grand martial arts event that can be recorded in history. In fact, the demeanor of Qianlong this night will be widely spread, so that the world will truly realize how powerful and outstanding the names that have always been briefly flashed in the book of troubled times are.

  Elegant and quiet Wang Zhaoling, ruthless and fierce.

  The cold and glamorous Xia Chichi, and the murderous tiger roaring ice soul.

  The delicate and lovely Cui Yuanyang, the long and vast Ziqi Qinghe.

  And the epee that traversed the hall, and the echoing broadsword, broke the political thinking with the blood of the warrior, and led the night of romantic swords, swords, laughter, and drunkenness.

  No one knows where Zhao Changhe, who is regarded as the leader, went afterwards, but they also know that he made it clear that he refused to participate in the competition, and they all sighed in their hearts. Without him in the subsequent martial arts discussion, it is indeed missing a scene.

  In short, this night has been widely spread, and it has been talked about for a long time.

  The purpose of the Wang family has also been achieved.

   Not only did they have a secret agreement with the Four Elephants Sect, but not many people remembered their domineering actions beforehand, but most of them praised them instead, thinking that this was a grand event in the martial arts.

  The impression of Wulin Qunlun, the leader of the royal family, was also unknowingly planted in the hearts of many people, and successfully released two messages:

   One, it doesn't really matter whether there is a court or not.

  Second, the Wang family has a queen who knows Xia Longyuan's situation best. Dare to do such a thing basically means that Xia Longyuan's situation may be more serious than imagined.

  Not only did the momentum of the royal family's separatist regime begin to gather, but it also imperceptibly promoted the conspiracies of other evil-minded people, and the situation in the world became more turbulent.

   In a game where everyone from the organizers to the contestants to the onlookers was happy, the only thing damaged was the prestige of the imperial court.

  Thousands of miles away, Jinling.

  Tang Wanzhuang stood on the city wall, looking at Maitreya's camp from a distance, her eyes were as calm as water.

   "The first seat..." A subordinate of Zhenma Division rushed to report: "Received the letter from the carrier pigeon, Langya's debate on martial arts has come to an end."

   "Oh? Who's the winner?"

"It's said that Situ Xiao and Zhao Changhe led the way in the wrong direction. Somehow, it turned into only sparring and no ranking. The audience had a good time, and the martial arts demeanor really came out." The subordinate said: "The brothers present said, This is the happiest martial arts debate in the past few years."

  Tang Wanzhuang showed the first trace of a smile in the past half a month, and repeated in a low voice: "Situ Xiao and... Zhao Changhe..."

  Subordinate: “…”

He scratched his head for some unknown reason, and continued on to the topic: "Since there is no ranking, the Wang family still wants less power. After all, they have accepted the ranking and received the prize, so they really have a sense of belonging... I think Qianlong is unruly , Few are willing, and this situation is in line with the deduction. What is more surprising is that since the fight with Situ Xiao, Zhao Changhe has never participated in the subsequent martial arts debates, and he looks extremely resistant. "

  Tang Wanzhuang groaned with a smile: "Where is Qianlong, there are not many who are willing... There are really only a few who are not happy, such as Zhao Changhe."

"Uh, maybe." The subordinate said: "But the Wang family basically has what they want. They have already started appointing and dismissing officials by themselves. The county magistrate Mr. Zhang was dismissed for a reason... Not to mention whether the reason is true or not, they Where do you get the qualifications to appoint and remove officials? This is a rebellion!"

  Tang Wanzhuang put away her smile and sighed: "You should have known it from the moment you invited the birthday party."

   "Then what shall we do now?"

"What's the use of asking me, and I don't have the right to deploy troops." Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "Neither Maitreya nor I are the leader of the army. It's meaningless to keep stalemate here. He will definitely return to the headquarters in the next few days. The altar, to preside over matters in other directions, and I will return to Beijing, there are still many things that need to be decided by me."

   As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, as if he was talking to himself: "I should go see His Majesty again... What is he thinking..."

   "No..." The subordinate hesitated: "If the Wang family is just a separatist regime, it's okay for now, in case they really send troops south to echo the Maitreya Sect..."

"Each one has their own ghosts, how can there be such an easy alliance... The Wang family only moved their crooked ideas after Maitreya's uprising. There was no communication between the two before. If we really want to achieve this kind of cooperation, there must be envoys back and forth. The saintess of the Four Elephants Sect participated After discussing martial arts, it is the envoy of the Four Elephant Sect, and I reckon that these two families might have reached an agreement first."

  The subordinate thought for a while: "Indeed. I said why would the Four Elephant Sect be willing to participate in this thing..."

Tang Wanzhuang said calmly: "The Four Elephant Sect and the Maitreya Sect are at odds. Once the Wang family and the Four Elephant Sect have an agreement, common sense will not consider the Maitreya Sect. "

   "Zhao Changhe killed Fasheng, and the plan of Maitreya Sect was messed up. The current situation is not very good. Is it possible to send envoys to the north to contact the Wang family? What if you make a promise..."

  Tang Wanzhuang looked at the north from a distance, her eyes were a little confused, and she said after a long while, "I should have already left."

   "Then shall we intercept?"

   "Looking for a needle in a haystack, where can I find a passer-by?" Tang Wanzhuang suddenly smiled: "I think that if we don't need to do it, the Maitreya envoy will be in trouble again..."
