The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 811 Bystanders

In a palace of a foreign tribe in the Western Regions, Zhao Changhe was covered like a mummy, lying on a soft bed unable to move. Even his face was covered tightly, leaving only a pair of eyeballs rolling around.

Ying Wu stood aside with his hands behind his hands and looked at him, making no sound for a long while.

He was an avenger who was prepared to die. He didn't even have a small scratch from beginning to end. He didn't even have the minor backlash injuries that would occur in a normal fierce battle. Apart from the fact that he was very exhausted, he looked like a completely fine person.

On the contrary, the helper who was invited to help was covered with bruises and was almost killed by the explosion. In addition to frostbite, there was no good flesh on his body.

Not only that, even the battle process is played by this person, and he is like an outsider invited to help.

 The emotion in Ying Wu's heart at the moment was not even the pleasure of revenge, but more of amusement.

"Do you know that if I had any ill intentions, you would die now, and your big man who had just started to prosper would fall apart?" After holding it in for a long time, Ying Wu actually said this.

Zhao Changhe’s mouth was tangled up and he just rolled his eyes and said nothing.

Ying Wu sighed: "Okay... Originally I didn't want to participate in your worldly struggle for hegemony... But from today on, I will unify the Western Region for you. If you need me to attack Guanlong, call me at any time."

Zhao Changhe muttered: "Who the **** told me that he is just a horse bandit, and at most he can only harass and cut off trade routes, but cannot participate in siege of cities and villages?"

Longque said nothing. The truth is that what Zhao Changhe said is correct. How can the sword spirit empathize with human pain? But strangely, I don't know where this thought came from. I always felt that I couldn't bear to cut my father, which would make Longque very uncomfortable.

"Because I don't need it anymore. I organized the intelligence network just to explore the secret realm, and everything else is just incidental. Now I don't need to explore the secret realm anymore. I only keep those things to make money."

Zhao Changhe rested silently for a moment. After gaining some strength, he gritted his teeth and said: "I need to cut the meat. Which one of you can help me cut it?"

 After being silent for a long time, Xinghe responded: "I'll do it."

"If you can't stand, stand on the roof and surround me tightly. The guards in other places are not as valuable as a hair here. Go and deliver the order and stop talking nonsense."

Zhao Changhe: "That's a good analogy. Don't use it next time... Let me make it clear first that I really have no bias."

"As long as your thing isn't frozen, it's fine. I'm afraid Sanniang will be left a widow."

Long Que was shocked: "He is so partial to you, but you still..."

“Honestly, I didn’t lie to you before, but as long as I want to transform from a horse bandit to a local lord, the Western Region will be mine within a month.”

 Fortunately, the quick fix only hurts the muscles now. It is not difficult to treat it, but it sounds scary. Because the best treatment plan is to cut off all the frozen meat and use your own blood demon immortal body to regenerate new meat. But it just sounds scary, and it doesn't even hurt because there is basically no feeling.

In fact, even if he is not tied up, he may not be able to grin. The frostbite on this body is very large. If it were not for the physical training, all the blood and internal organs would have been frozen. I don't know how cold this kind of cold is. This is the first time that Zhao Changhe has faced this kind of battle and suffered this kind of injury. He still has to thank the hard work of the past two years to strengthen his body, otherwise he would have died long ago.

  “My love for my eldest nephew has been wiped out by this sentence.”

 Cui Yuanyang was crying in Piaomiao's sea of ​​consciousness. Piaomiao rarely bothered to comfort Cui Yuanyang, but just watched her without saying a word.

Ying Wudao: "I don't know your big man's plan... What do you want to do here?"

“Not only will Sanniang not be left a widow, but I will also take good care of Suzaku.”

 “Don’t be so polite.”

“In addition, all the intelligence networks of the Brotherhood in various parts of China will be directly integrated into your Demon Suppression Division. I don’t want it anymore. It’s not just a casino, there are a lot of things, which can give your Demon Suppression Division more supplements.”

“Wait a minute, you at least need to help me explore the secret realm where Ye Jiuyou and Piao Miao are... By the way, if you have spare time, look for Bai Hu and meet Sanniang then.”

 “…Are you so direct now?”

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Don't worry, your father and I had no cultivation back then, so I dared to cut my own flesh to treat injuries, let alone today."

Zhao Changhe wanted to grin, but unfortunately his mouth was tied with a bandage and he couldn't smile.

Ying Wu has already run away, and I really don’t want to have anything to do with him. Soon his instructions came from outside: "All hands are on guard here. Let a fly go in and harass the distinguished guests. You are the only one asking!"

  No matter how it doesn’t hurt, it’s all relative.

"But he needs treatment." Xinghe said: "It's like we go back to the furnace to forge, it always has to be done."

"I have all external injuries, including frostbite. Even if you ask for a fairy to come over, I can't move you. Shuang Xiu can give me a hammer... If you have so much money, why don't you donate it to the national treasury, or directly use it to establish counties in the Western Regions, maybe several counties."

Ye Jiuyou was lying on his side, with his right hand holding his pink cheek, with an interesting smile, as if he was enjoying some beautiful dance.

Xinghe took the initiative to fly out of the ring without saying a word, and accurately chopped off a piece of frozen flesh on Zhao Changhe's right arm with a sword. Zhao Changhe groaned, and blood flowed out instantly, staining the bed sheets.

Even after scolding him, he really couldn't do it if he really wanted to cut Zhao Changhe into pieces with his own hands.

 He deliberately asked Ying Wu to leave before doing this work, not wanting to make Ying Wu uncomfortable. But what he didn't expect was that four women were watching this scene.

Longque said: "You should let that fat man with a smile chop him up, and let him be moved to tears when he sees your bruises all over your body."

Zhao Changhe sighed: "If you have money, you can do whatever you want."

"Do you want?"

  “As long as you say so, it’s okay.”

"Fuck you..." Ying Wu couldn't laugh or cry, and walked away: "No wonder Tang Buqi secretly said that you are disgusting. I'm almost moved by your words this time. You can still be disgusting when you are **** so tightly. .”

"You recuperate here, I'll look for you right away." Ying Wu looked him up and down for a while: "Do you need to find some virgins for you to use for dual cultivation? I dare not say how advanced the cultivation level is, but there are high-level Baobao Xuanguan. Don’t worry, no bad means will be used, people with more money do so voluntarily.”

The sword fell silent, even Long Que, who usually scolded Zhao Changhe the most, didn't say a word.

　　"If it were incorporated into the territory, would it be okay for you to be an official, a governor, or something like that?"

"I don't want to do anything to impress him. Besides, he's not a fat man." Zhao Changhe said angrily: "When did you become so angry? You are a sword spirit. When will you feel pain for humans? According to this, I will Don’t you dare to clash your sword with someone else’s sword, for fear of hurting you?”

“All... all the people? We can’t even stand here...”

 “Okay, let’s change it.”

Within a few moments, Zhao Changhe’s whole body was cut to pieces and he was bloody, and the white soft bed had turned into a bed of blood. Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth tightly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat unknowingly.

 Ye Wuming closed his eyes and stood in the middle of the Han Chi Ice Abyss, motionless.

After a long time, Ye Jiuyou let out a long sigh: "What a beautiful scene... Ying Wu had better pray that the women in Zhao Changhe don't know about this scene, otherwise he is afraid that he will be chopped alive by a group of women."

Piaomiao is also mourning for Ying Wu... Now that Cui Yuanyang knows about this, sooner or later those women will know about it, and there is no such thing as a fuel-efficient lamp...

 In fact, the group of women are now ready to set off, because tomorrow is the long-delayed palace examination. Their Four Elephant Formation drills have been completed. As long as the imperial examination is over, they will definitely go out to find the White Tiger. This time, they will go on an expedition in person, leaving only Tang Wanzhuang in charge of the capital.

Whether he can find it or not is another matter. In fact, Ye Jiuyou doesn't believe that Ying Wu can find his location so easily through the Hanji Ice Abyss. They are not adjacent to each other at all.

"One month... it takes at least ten and a half months for him to heal. I really don't know how he came here."

 …

 Zhao Changhe is in coma.

 It is said that he is in a coma, but he is also half in trance. Deep in his soul, he has been carefully grasping the recovery status of his body, and he has also realized something extra.

He is no stranger to the Ice Path. After all, the Five Elements page was obtained a long time ago. Because it was used to heal the wounds of the evening makeup, it is still a page that has been studied relatively much. In addition, I have been practicing dual cultivation with Sanniang for a long time, so I am very familiar with water and ice. It's just that the art of the Five Elements basically doesn't match his tactics, so he has never learned the relevant applications. People's energy is limited, and it is really impossible to think about everything. But this time what he felt was not ice, but cold.

 Cold and hot.

 Ice condensation is just a sign that the cold has reached a certain level. In fact, it does not need to congeal as long as there is no moisture.

 When a space without moisture is extremely cold, then if you want to find a more appropriate name to describe such a place...perhaps it is the Netherworld.

 This thing must be one of Jiuyou's methods. Her level is higher than Han Chi's.

If you want to face Jiuyou, you must be familiar with this item. Only when you are familiar can you try to defend against it, just like when Ye Wuming urged you to become familiar with life and death. Otherwise, Han Chi could have frozen himself into this state of virtue. He would have died without even knowing how to face Jiuyou rashly.

 As for this, the Tai Chi diagram given by Yuxu may be able to assist.

I really don’t know how much Ye Wuming blocked it before, but it always made me unable to feel the power of Jiuyou. It was only at this moment that Zhao Changhe deeply realized that the gap between himself and Jiuyou was really huge. No wonder Ye Wuming's only opponent who showed nervousness was Ye Jiuyou.

 Such a character was kissed by Monet, it’s really...

In fact, it is still difficult for her to protect herself when facing Ye Jiuyou. Ye Wuming has blocked her and lost contact with her like this. Is she really not afraid that she will be killed by Ye Jiuyou and all the Heavenly Book will belong to her opponent? In other words, she was still paying attention silently, but she just stopped contacting him... Even this twist of fate was probably killing two birds with one stone. It not only solved Han Chi who was about to escape the seal, but also made herself familiar with the cold in advance.

This dead woman...

 In addition, the mental invasion that makes people crazy...even Han Chi doesn't know what it is, which is strange.

Not to mention the strength of an innate demon like Han Chi, his knowledge is definitely first-rate, not much less than that of the Ye family sisters. And I was personally used to suppress that thing. I suppressed it for so long without knowing what it was. It was simply outrageous... Could it be something outside this world?

  If we talk about things outside this world, we currently know of two more besides this thing.

 One is that the spirit race became the ancestors of the earth. The previous estimate does not belong to this side of heaven. Of course, this is only an estimate, and the probability is high, but there is no absolute certainty.

 The second thing is...he Zhao Changhe himself.

 Absolutely solid.

 Is this an important factor in Ye Wuming’s pursuit of people from other worlds?

 Forget it, Ye Wuming is just thinking about shit. Even if he is thinking about his body, he shouldn’t be thinking about it. It’s better to think about his own body first. Zhao Changhe sensed his second brother and let out a sigh of relief.

At that time, what was understood in the Spiritual Clan was to change the composition of part of one's position to strengthen defense. In this battle, it was all used on the second brother. Everything on the body could be cut off and reborn, but the second brother could not. Zhao Changhe had never thought that this move could be used to do this. He could only say that one drink and one peck had its own consequences.

Since this move can protect the second brother, if the area is enlarged, it can also protect the whole body. This is one of the chips to deal with Ye Jiuyou. How to expand the area? Just before he came here, Li Shentong gave him the body-building method... This time, his understanding of the cold and his own protection were complete.

Zhao Changhe opened his eyes, and in front of him was the figure of Ying Wu sitting cross-legged and guarding him.

As if sensing that he was awake, Ying Wu also opened his eyes at the same time: "You...recover quickly from your injuries, but why do you feel a little stronger?"

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of Saiyans?"

"What is that? There are many different tribes in the Western Region, but I have never heard of this tribe."

"It's nothing... you have a misunderstanding. First, I haven't completely recovered from the injury, but my body seems to be healed. Second, I haven't improved my practice at all. I just realized something else, so I think it's a supplement." Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand: "Good medicine. Bring it."

Ying Wu directly handed over a jade bottle: "I think you don't need any medicinal materials. All you need is nourishment. You need a lot of nourishment."

Zhao Changhe opened the bottle and swallowed a pill without saying a word, and his eyes lit up.

Incomparable surging energy instantly filled the limbs and penetrated the surface and inside of the skin. The energy in the Dantian, which had no loss in the first place, was directly boosted by such a pill, and even the body was strengthened.

"What kind of elixir is this?" Zhao Changhe was surprised and delighted: "I have been to the Source of Qinglong and Tianya Island, and the medicinal materials there are not so outrageous!"

"Hmm... If we talk about the quality of medicinal materials, the source of the Azure Dragon must be top-notch, but don't you know that the level of medicine refining is also very important?" Ying Wu sighed with regret: "You Four Elephants Sect, The person who should be training and studying in this direction has been made emperor by you. Of course you are lacking in this aspect... Well, if the emperor refines elixirs in the future, will he suddenly feel a sense of fate?"

 Zhao Changhe: “…”

Ying Wu added: "Of course, the origin of top-quality medicinal materials is not just Tianya Island. When the Night Palace where the Emperor of the Night was, the mountains around it were full of sacred objects. I was lucky enough to find a small medicinal pool..."

As he spoke, he became more and more regretful: "People say that I am the enemy of the Five Rich Countries, but in fact, they are nothing. The richest man in the world can only be the Emperor of the Night."

 Zhao Changhe: “emmmm…”

Ying Wu lowered his voice: "I have some unreliable gossip, saying that Ye Di should be a woman. Gee, I wonder if she has an imperial husband? That man is called Lie Ying."

Zhao Changhe held his hand and said: "Why don't you know that I am the New Night Emperor? Is there anyone who knows more about her than me?"

 “Oh yes…what about this news?”

“First of all, your gossip is very good, and secondly, she definitely didn’t have an imperial husband back then.”

“Why do you stress that it wasn’t there back then?” Ying Wu was confused: “Is it there now?”

Zhao Changhe looked at the sky and didn't answer.

Piaomiao glanced at Ye Jiuyou, who smiled.

Facing Ying Wu's suspicious eyes, Zhao Changhe quickly changed the subject: "Why do you have time to chat with me? Have you found the place?"

Ying Wu smiled slightly: "Since I dare to talk nonsense with you here, of course I am sure. According to my investigation of the changes in the space around the ice abyss, it was moved to this position because of a space chaos. Tracing back to the chaos By looking at the source, you can find the location that caused all this... If I am not mistaken, what you are looking for is Jiuyou, and Jiuyou is the **** of chaos and annihilation."

Zhao Changhe said happily: "Are you sure it can be traced back?"

Ying Wu patted him on the shoulder: "Give me a few more days and you have a good chance. The medicine just now is a tonic, not for healing. Your injury has not healed well. You should continue to recuperate and wait for my news."

 Ye Jiuyou, who was saying "I really don't know how he got here" just five days ago, just lost his smile.

Piaomiao glanced at her again.

Obviously she had a one-month bet with Cui Yuanyang, and she didn't expect Zhao Changhe to find this place within a month. But looking at Ye Jiuyou's deflated look, there was a slight smile on the corners of Piao Miao's mouth, and he didn't know whether it was ridicule or something else.

Cui Yuanyang sat in the corner holding her knees, looking at this sister in surprise... She had never seen this sister smile before, she looked so beautiful... Uh, no, this is my own face!

Ye Jiuyou leaned lazily and whispered to himself: "Ying Wu would never have imagined that we have been peeping... Since you put your words in front of me, then if I intervene, he won't be found..."

Cui Yuanyang was anxious: "This is a scam! What's the difference between being found and running away on purpose? Then you might as well wait for him to come and turn around and run away. If you spend your whole life hiding him, no one will be able to find him!"

Ye Jiuyou smiled and said: "Little sister, don't you know that I am a bad person? Are you talking about credibility with me?"

Cui Yuanyang: “…”

Ye Jiuyou's spiritual consciousness had just reached out and tried to interfere, but was suddenly blocked by someone.

Ye Jiuyou was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Piaomiao, do you know what you are doing?"

Piaomiao said slowly: "You can cheat without any scruples, but I don't want to. Don't drag down my personality, otherwise I don't mind fighting with you first."

Ye Jiuyou smiled instead of getting angry after hearing this, finding it very interesting: "Okay, okay, then I'll see whether you want character or innocence."

Piaomiao said with an expressionless face: "Why should meeting and innocence be linked? The Miss Li family who is engaged to him is not me."
