The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 695 The trapped bird comes out of the cage

Of course Xia Chichi and Huangfu Qing wanted to rectify the Three Jin Dynasties. Xia Chichi was more stable, but Huangfu Qing was more anxious. She originally wanted her younger brother to lead the group to go north, but she was persuaded by her younger brother to return. Returning to Beijing in a hurry.

 Because her biological father is in Yanmen, and she is currently facing a situation where she is surrounded by enemies from both sides and lacks food and clothing. No one can even support her, which makes her feel a little alone.

But her younger brother and she were the same father. Her younger brother had no choice but to say that the soldiers and horses really couldn't be fought. Even if they really couldn't be fought, she couldn't force it, so she could only come back angrily.

 In fact, the situation in Jinzhong was not so bad before. At least Huangfu Yongxian's situation was not that he was facing an enemy from behind.

If the whole world is against Xia Longyuan, but Zhao Changhe can hold up some face, then only the three Jin Dynasties are in the opposite direction. They may recognize Xia Longyuan more, but resist Zhao Changhe.

Before the collapse of the Great Xia, Shanxi merchants would never go to Yanmenguan. It was meaningless. They were just seeking money. It didn’t matter what country or foreign clan you were, who couldn’t get along with money... The more stupid Xia Longyuan was, the happier they were. .

But once the Great Xia collapsed, the head of the business became Zhao Changhe. The merchants were very sensitive and knew how Zhao Changhe viewed them after his last trip to Saibei. They would definitely not enjoy their good fruits. In order to protect themselves, they took the initiative to attack the capital. After the failure, they had more motivation to welcome the barbarians into the pass. In other words, Huangfu Yongxian's current precarious situation can be regarded as being dragged down by Zhao Changhe. It was not that difficult in the first place.

Of course, no one would blame Zhao Changhe for this. He was not so indiscriminate. Huangfu Qing just said: "Why don't we want to deal with that side? But Shaozong said that they couldn't fight. Once the Beijing army refused to move, they just Waiting for rewards to celebrate the New Year; secondly, even if they are forced to use them, the troops are not enough, and falling into the vast Jin Dynasty is like falling into a quagmire. In this snowy and icy weather, morale is low, which is no different from dying. This is not how this small force is used. I Although I am worried about my father, I also know that he is right, but what should I do?"

Zhao Changhe said: "I thought about this when I came here...we should adapt to local conditions. Things in Jinzhong are different from Langya. Maybe Jianghu means can be better handled. I think...you can do whatever you did to Luojiazhuang back then."

Huangfuqing was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

These four words are usually adjectives, not so exaggerated, but Huangfu's love at this moment is literal. There is a real cold light in his eyes, the empty room is electrified, and the surrounding maids are frightened.

Even Xia Chichi felt a little palpitated. She could feel the Lord's mood.

Being able to personally work hard to help my father, there is no doubt about this feeling, and it also touched the sigh that the venerable had not expressed in his heart. A female devil who was talked about by everyone in the world was originally prepared to be trapped in the palace. That was not the life she wanted, but the situation dictated that she could only do that. But Zhao Changhe pointed out that she could still be a Suzaku, roam the world, and do what she loved most.

 Like a trapped bird coming out of its cage.

"I...if I stay out for a long time, will it be safe in the palace..." Huangfu Qing tried to ask.

"I triggered the formation when I came back. I think this is quite powerful. I can study it and see if it can be combined with Lao Xia's underground sky to make the protection more complete and concentrated and more powerful. It will not be so bad in just a short while. It's easy to break through, so there's no need to trap you here for a long time...Chichi himself is not a weakling, so he has to trust his apprentice."

Huangfuqing glanced at Xia Chichi. Xia Chichi leisurely ate the cake and smiled: "You didn't teach me martial arts just to protect me for the rest of my life, queen mother. If you can really decide the outcome early, come and protect me again."

　　　"啐." I've already decided where to protect you, in bed?

But when Xia Chichi said this, Huangfu Qing really let go of his worries a lot, and said enthusiastically: "I have many ideas to deal with these Shanxi merchants according to Jianghu's thinking. Shaozong can just play in the mud, so there is no need for him." Huh? The so-called alliance of merchants is definitely not of the same mind. There are a lot of operative articles here. I will first pick the one with the most enthusiasm and pick off the head. Naturally, people’s hearts are frightened. There are always those who waver. When the Four Symbols Order is issued, let’s see who they are. manner…"

 Seeing how the situation was analyzed all the way to the end, Zhao Changhe and Xia Chi couldn't help laughing.

"Why are you laughing? You two were still peeing in Luojiazhuang when I was so powerful." Huangfu Qing slapped the table: "I am responsible for this!"

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Is the Four Elephants Teaching enough?"

"It would be fine if Shaozong came back to take charge of the city defense... The main reason is that Tang Wanzhuang, a loser, actually told me that there is a raging wind in Beijing, there are many people who are secretly dissatisfied, and the demon-suppressing Siti cavalry is everywhere. She doesn't have enough manpower, so she asked me to borrow someone ." Huangfuqing was speechless: "The Demon Suppressing Division asked the Demon Cult to borrow people, but she was able to borrow money. We are not responsible for patrols and we have to be internal guards. How can there be so many people..."

You claim to be a demon sect while claiming to be an inner guard, how could you say it... Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry: "It's okay, I've found a team of helpers for you."

Huangfu asked curiously: "Who?" "Whoever you brought to Luojiazhuang is the one you brought."

Huangfuqing finally couldn't help but smile and said, "You are serious..."

 “I like Suzaku.” Zhao Changhe responded.

Huangfu looked at him lovingly. He didn't even drink the porridge anymore and wanted to drink something else.

Xia Chichi almost vomited out. She poked the table with her chopsticks and said, "I was also a witness to what happened back then. Don't make it seem like it's just your memory. Besides, I don't think it looks good at all."

Huang Fuqing looked sideways at the past, looking for a book to copy for her. You also know that back then you were as bright as a lantern next to you. Is that something worth boasting about? Ignorance.

Xia Chichi had already stood up and walked away. She really didn't want to see the adulterer and the adulterous couple flirting with each other: "Anyway, if you want to leave, you have to complete the formation you just mentioned before leaving! Okay, I'm going to court. You do it slowly!"

Zhao Changhe and Huangfu looked at each other affectionately, and walked hand in hand to the underground sky.

As the biggest legacy left by Xia Longyuan, this place is still heavily guarded. In fact, there are many things inside that Zhao Changhe wants to use but is not capable of using. For example, the routine of clicking on a spot and the gods will come there is really convenient. Zhao Changhe always had the idea that the entire place could actually be transformed into a portable globe. That would be the true final form... But that is obviously extremely far away and cannot be realized in the short term.

 At present, the small world meaning of the underground sky can be expanded to the scope of the entire palace. If the palace can be formed into a relatively independent and closed environment, it only needs to be strictly guarded at the entrance. This is more comfortable and secure than Suzaku sitting at the core.

"What are you going to do?" Huangfuqing asked Zhao Changhe with some curiosity: "Isn't your formation always weak? Can you improve our formation?"

Zhao Changhe shook his head: "I'm still not very interested in the battle method, but I have mastered something else this time..."

"I think the two moves you made against me last night were indeed interesting. Are you angry?"

"As expected of you, it is indeed Qi." Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand and pointed at the sky: "Essentially, your invisible formation wraps the sky above the palace like an atmosphere. I don't need to understand the formation, I only need to use the Qi here. Connected with your formation to form a complete aura, it is a small closed world. As for how to adjust the formation, you can do it."

Following the words, invisible air waves surged out from the ground, overflowed into the sky, and merged with the formation arranged by the Four Symbols Sect above. Suzaku could see with the naked eye an arc-shaped air layer covering the palace, extremely The mysterious land does not block wind, rain or sunlight, but it isolates it from all invading forces.

 How to use the formation to counterattack the invasion is indeed her business, and it is very simple for her.

Huangfuqing looked at Zhao Changhe with burning eyes and whispered: "Have you discovered something..."

Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "What?"

"The cultivation of various attributes that you have mastered are all outside the Four Symbols and Five Elements. It is just because of our affinity... Even the Rejuvenation Technique that you are relatively majoring in seems to be of the wood attribute, but it is only used for recovery, not the main purpose. The merits of war.”

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment. It was true that his Five Elements Control was all auxiliary. The Rejuvenation Technique and the boxing skills were not true wood and water control. It seems that he is secretly avoiding the foundation of the Four Symbols Sect. I don't know if he is subconsciously doing this.

"I don't know if you intentionally avoid these, and you don't want to comment..." Huangfuqing was also talking about this, and added: "But since you avoid such mainstream practice, you are not willing to go back to Lie's old path and prove the blood evil again. , will you eventually feel that your journey to the realm has become confusing and confusing, and you can't find a clear goal?"

"Yes, this is what I have been having a headache about recently. I should be planning to break the imperial guard now, and I feel that my practice is coming soon, but I can't find a clear direction. Qing'er... can the venerable one teach me?"
