The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 673 Planning

When I saw Xue Canghai, the scene became even more chaotic.

 Heavy snow fell one after another, accumulating on the battlements, and the setting sun was like blood, shining slantingly on the city head. Xue Canghai sat cross-legged high on the city wall, sharpening his knife.

 The blade of the sword is also like blood, reflecting the setting sun.

The north wind howled, the sound of sharpening knives rhymed, and half the city and thousands of troops listened.

Zhao Changhe stood behind and watched without disturbing. Xue Canghai ignored the "Holy Son" and continued to sharpen his knife as if no one else was around.

Zhao Changhe found that he was enjoying this kind of scene very much. It would be better if the other party was not Xue Canghai.

But Lao Xue has been cleansed. Now in the hearts of Puyang soldiers and civilians, as well as in the eyes of the world, he is a truly famous master on the troubled times list, and he is qualified to show off...

 “Choke!” Xue Canghai gave it a final grinding, and slowly rubbed his fingers over the edge of the blade. The **** aura gradually emerged in his eyes, which seemed to resonate with the blood-colored long knife. The blade buzzed, and a line of blood energy suddenly shot out, soaring into the sky. The next moment, the sun set in the west and the sky turned completely dark.

There is a sense of chopping down the setting sun with one knife.

 Zhao Changhe felt that Old Xue’s opponent for this knife was Yue Hongling...

Like Cui Yuanyong, Xue Canghai didn't care at all about Zhao Changhe, who was flying faster than a monkey. When the gap between people reached this level, they would not chase him and would only look up. Yue Hongling never forgets it.

Zhao Changhe himself misses Yue Hongling very much. He has not heard from her for a long time. He doesn't know where she has wandered during the great changes in the world. But he is not as worried as before. He has proved several times that sister-in-law doesn't need anyone to worry about. You should worry about yourself.

Xue Canghai finally sheathed the sword, turned around and bowed deeply to Zhao Changhe: "Holy Son."

 He felt the same as Cui Yuanyong. This Zhao Changhe was really strange. He didn't have any airs now, and he was actually willing to stand behind him and watch him show off. Well, of course I'm not trying to show off. When sharpening a knife, a swordsman always has insights and doesn't want to stop. Zhao Changhe is also a swordsman, so he understands this.

The more this happened, the more Xue Canghai respected him in his heart. It would not be unfair to hang out with such a person.

Actually, the Blood God Sect is the direct subordinate of Zhao Changhe. Elder Sun was still sitting at King Zhao’s wedding yesterday... Well, Sun Jiaoxi became the great elder without any reason. He is a real winner in life.

Zhao Changhe said: "The Blood Divine Sword has gone through so many battles, has there been any minor cracks or wear and tear?"

"Yes." Xue Canghai sighed: "After so many years, other knives can no longer be used. The Blood God Sword is not that kind of spiritual sword, and it is not easy to be used so long..."

Zhao Changhe said: "It's quite strange that Lie is a swordsman who focuses on formations but not forging. I'll help you recast it when I have time... Damn, this didn't happen when you didn't know how to forge. Once you know how, it feels like you can work. They’re all here.”

Xue Canghai laughed: "That's why people who can cook always cook more at home. If you don't want to be a cook for the rest of your life, don't learn it."

 Zhao Changhe laughed loudly: "The truth of life!"

Xue Canghai smiled and said: "Speaking of the formations, more arrays have been repaired now."

Zhao Changhe nodded. He had repaired the main body of the formation disk before, but he had no time to search for various inlays. It was obviously up to the Blood God Cult to find them themselves. This time the Blood God Sect generously supported the Cui family, and of course the Cui family repaid them in return. The wars in the past few months did not affect the Cui family's sending people to search for the inlays of the Blood God Formation Disk in the rivers and lakes. With the Cui family helping out, it would be much more convenient for the Blood God Cult to do this kind of thing. It wouldn't be surprising even if they get it together now.

According to the rules of formation of secret realms, if a formation collapses, it will not be scattered in different secret realms. It should be scattered across the land of China, which is relatively easy to find. Of course, if they are scattered to the bottom of the sea, they will never be found. Generally speaking, there will be no problem in rivers, mountains and fields. Those beads are full of evil spirits, and there will definitely be strange phenomena no matter how they are buried. They can easily be collected by people from all over the world.

 “How much more is left?”

“Send the last orb, and there is news.”

"where?"

"Most likely in the Temple of Immortality." Xue Canghai grinned: "We are lucky."

It's really lucky that it didn't collapse to the bottom of the sea. As long as the whereabouts are known, it's easy to tell. Although the Temple of Eternal Life may be the final BOSS level that can be seen in this world and cannot be dealt with by the Blood God Sect, it is an enemy that the "Holy Son" will inevitably fight. Sooner or later, it will be a life-and-death battle. The Blood God Sect may be worried about it right now. All red. The incomplete holy relics can deliver a powerful blow from the sky. Zhao Changhe used this to defeat Wang Daoning and save Cui Wenjing. Metaphor. What's more, this thing is also related to the spiritual enlightenment and inheritance. The more complete the array, the clearer the understanding. Now Lao Xue's progress is faster than in the previous years combined, and the Blood God Sect is much stronger.



On the other hand, Zhao Changhe himself has become less interested in Lie's inheritance... He knows that the subsequent Blood Fiend Sword Technique still has a lot of content and is indeed very powerful, but at the current level, it is no longer the time to seek inheritance from others, but to find someone else's inheritance. It's time to take care of your own things. Let Lao Xue slowly ponder Lie's inheritance.

Zhao Changhe said: "The Temple of Immortality cannot be established in a short time. Now we have to unify it first."

Xue Canghai said: "I didn't say anything, who should I kill?"

 “Of course the Wang family.”

"when?"

 “Have a rest overnight and set off at dawn.”

"Actually, we can attack at night. No one would have thought that we would attack the city on a snowy night. At least the first city in the east will be fine. Of course, we can only attack like this at the beginning. The follow-up should wait until spring, in this ice and snow..."

"We don't need to attack at night. We need to make a big noise and make it known to the whole world." Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked north, and whispered: "This battle is not mainly about attacking the city, it also has other functions...really think of us Let the brothers attack the city on a snowy day. Even if I don’t understand military affairs, I know that we can’t fight like this..."

 …



As early as Zhao Changhe went south to Puyang early in the morning, the capital was also swearing an oath. Huangfu Shaozong, who had just returned with his troops not long ago, stood on the battlefield outside the city: "Brothers! It has been almost half a year since the Wang family rebelled! We used to go to help the Cui family guard, and we were very aggrieved. Now that Wang Daoning is dead, it is you. When I attack! Don’t be afraid of the cold weather, let’s go to Langya to celebrate the New Year!”

 The words were spoken loudly, but the soldiers responded with indifference.

 Damn it, it’s winter, have you seen how much snow there is in the sky?

 At this time, you are going to war. Where is your mother?

However, Huangfu Shaozong still had good control over this army, and the army finally set off reluctantly without causing any trouble.

In the distance, Lu Jianzhang and others were stroking their beards and looking at each other, with an idea in their minds.

"The little girl emperor, the general who has been fighting **** in Beijing since he was a child, the venerable man who only knows how to sacrifice people and kill people... is indeed an unreliable grass-roots team. Unexpectedly, the most reliable person in this court is actually the Beimang bandit. A horse can control the Qinghe River, which is indeed quite powerful."

 “I don’t think it’s a horse, it’s a whip.”

"But don't underestimate Cui Wenjing. This whip can subjugate Cui Yuanyang, but it cannot subjugate Cui Wenjing. Of course, King Zhao has skills. But because of this, His Majesty is distracted? Do you think that uniting with the Cui family can easily defeat Langya? Now is the time to go on an expedition. It's just untimely, but it's unwise to hollow out the defense in the capital. I think if the first battle is unfavorable, the army will mutiny."

“Didn’t Mr. Tang persuade him?”

"This expedition happened out of nowhere. We didn't know it beforehand, and the Emperor probably didn't know either. But by now, the Emperor should have gone straight to the court to curse, right?"

"Heh... let's go too, it's time to go to court. Watching the Tang chief quarrel with the little girl is also a sight in this new court."

Everyone laughed and walked away slowly.

 They said they were going to court, but they actually went back home first to change clothes... After a while, many people in the family left secretly and disappeared into the wind and snow.
