The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 875 Does the apprentice have a secret?

Yangzhou is still a long way away, but such a short distance is theoretically safe. If someone in the imperial court can kill the Demon Master and seize King Zhao's sword outside such an important town, then the Queen should issue an edict to punish herself. The presence of Lord Baoqin is proof of this. It is obvious that the vanguard of the imperial court has come to respond, and it is expected that strong men will come.

 As far as the rivers and lakes are concerned, this is where the Cao Gang's power is strongest, and they should have controlled the river section at this time.

But Ling Ruoyu still felt a bit of a sense of crisis. This was the easiest time to let down his guard. Maybe someone was secretly gathering just now. In particular, Wan Dongliu from Caobang was very surprised that he hadn't shown up at this time, so something was more likely to go wrong.

It's really strange why the people from Caogang haven't shown up yet. Is it because Lord Baoqin is here and Gang Leader Wan feels relieved?

But Mr. Baoqin is being held in the cabin at the moment, and he doesn’t know what he is doing. Maybe he is already doing those shameful things. What use can it be used for?

The girl sat on the bow of the boat with a belly full of alpacas, resting cross-legged, silently alerting her surroundings. Suddenly, I felt that I had changed from guarding the sword and testing the sword with full strength to guarding the door for others. It felt very awkward.

I don’t know if what Mr. Baoqin is doing at the moment is considered a shameful level. He is just lying in the man’s arms and being kissed.

The angry temper I had when dancing outside just now was wiped out by just one kiss...

No matter how dignified and majestic she is in her daily life as a formal official of the imperial court these years, Baoqin still feels like she is just a little maid whenever she sees her young lady and uncle.

A little maid who admires her uncle very much and looks forward to his pampering.

I have been looking forward to it for so many years. Although the appearance does not change, is the heart still a girl?

Zhao Changhe said: "Longque has been exhausted all the way..."

So do you blame me for flirting with you or are you glad that I flirted with you? Zhao Changhe felt his daughter's heart turning over and over again, and whispered: "At that time, I really didn't think that it would take so long... You were not very old at that time, so I was not in a hurry, and even hinted to Wanzhuang. , I’ll wait until I get back... I’m sorry.”

Hold Qin in the cabin, enduring the excitement of being played with by his uncle, he opened the bag again and faced it outside the cabin door.

He looked up hard and saw a large number of people on the shore waiting to greet him. Wan Dongliu, the leader, glanced at Ling Ruoyu sympathetically and sighed: "I have seen bullies, but I have never seen anyone bully my own disciples... just to avoid them." What a shame, what has become of this poor baby..."

Who the **** has thought about it... Zhao Changhe couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply chewed it again.

 Wan Dongliu: “…”

The fighting power activated by the word "Master" was even more violent than that of "Master", and Zhao Changhe instantly felt like he was on fire.

“Humph, in terms of age, I am still the youngest one besides Cui Yuanyang. You are surrounded by old aunts who are going through menopause, and there are countless others who are tens of millions of years old!”

Looking more and more like a gatekeeper... Ling Ruoyu stared at the group of ferocious demon disciples in front of him and secretly complained. Sure enough, his previous hunch was right. The moment he saw entering Yangzhou was the most dangerous moment.

 “Then do you want to marry someone else?”

 At the top of the city in the distance, the muscles on Wan Dongliu's face twitched, unable to describe the scene at the moment. A beautiful little girl whirled and whirled around with a huge broadsword that was almost as tall as her. The scene was so cute, accompanied by blood rain and flying limbs, it was weird no matter how you looked at it.

I don’t know which dragon bird is holding it back. The dragon bird here roared out, and the dragon bird outside the cabin also jumped into Ling Ruoyu's hand.

"No way." Zhao Changhe looked down at her still pretty face and kissed her forehead gently: "Compared to before, her features are more heroic and even more attractive..."

Within a moment, Baoqin, who had just gathered some fighting spirit, collapsed into a pile of mud again, his eyes were watery, and he was panting: "Master..."

How come there are so many Yujing demons here, but none of them are recognized? What is going on in the Book of Troubled Times? Are there no records of Yujing Demons?

Not only did they not record anything, this group of demons didn't talk much nonsense. They just attacked directly and attacked the vital points. It looked like he was going to kill Yangzhou quickly, seize the sword, and escape with one blow before Yangzhou could react.

Baoqin was muttering: "Why don't you go help your apprentice..."

 So flags such as "get married after this battle" should not be set up randomly. This is a painful lesson.

Baoqin became even more suspicious: "Have you never thought about Longque Galaxy?"

Ling Ruoyu didn't hear clearly and saluted with stars in his eyes: "Senior, what are you talking about..."

 “Crash!” The windmill stirred up blood rain all over the sky, and broken limbs flew across the river.

“Do you think I’m old now?” Bao Qin raised his head angrily.

“That’s my daughter! Just like Longque Xinghe, who would think so.”

Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry: "Where are you thinking? I really treat her as her daughter and apprentice. I said you don't always think in this way. Our seniors ruined the wind review, but my apprentice wants the wind review. Forget it. When I watched her fight, I sat ten feet away, okay..."

　　　…”

 “A bunch of **** fish, I really think that my aunt is just watching a show! It’s endless, it’s endless!”

To deal with Emperor Baoqin, don’t worry about anything else. Just gag him. Any kind of gag will do.

　　The warrior's violent attribute was activated, and Baoqin himself was not in a good mood. Within a few moments, his clothes became extremely messy. The skirt of his clothes was torn open, and the collar was pulled down under his shoulders, revealing his snow-white shoulders and collarbones.

 “I miss you with my arms in my arms.”

 Several strands of black mist were sucked in and merged with the previous one.

 “ton”, the girl fell to the ground, and the big ship docked just at this moment.

It seems that Baoqin is still making progress over the years, leading the version.

Wan Dongliu said: "It's nothing. I was thinking that my youngest son is also in the forefront of Qianlong. He is not married yet. I also have an old relationship with my respected master. I don't know about the girl..."

 The bag was put away and the hatch closed with a bang. Ling Ruoyu's eyes were filled with circles, and he turned his head in confusion and glanced around. He only had time to see a white jade-like lotus arm skillfully tying the mouth of the bag, and was immediately blocked by the door.

Ling Ruoyu waved his long sword to protect the cabin, and in front of him was a large circle of men in black.

"emmmm..." Zhao Changhe was about to say that they would not undergo menopause, but before he could say anything, Baoqin suddenly became alert: "The guard at the door doesn't count! Don't tell me that you really dare to take advantage of her?"

"I don't want to. Fortunately, you flirted with me, so the lady wouldn't marry me to someone else."

"You flirt and run away, you irresponsible stinky man..." Bao Qin leaned in his arms, sniffling and sobbing: "If you hadn't flirted with me back then, the lady would have married me long ago. Why would you have to wait here for three years?" In ten years, you are not the only man in the world..."

The girl suddenly found that she had a door panel in her hand, and the fierce force drove her around like a windmill several times, unable to stop.

Baoqin was suspicious: "Have you changed your gender? She is so beautiful, with a thin waist and long legs, and a dashing appearance. Apart from not wearing a red dress, she looks like the second Yue Hongling. Don't you like it?"

 “Cang!” The sound of weapons clashing came from the bow outside the cabin.

Before he finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and got out of the cabin: "Prefect Yang, please arrange for board and lodging. I will spend the night in Yangzhou tonight and cross the river to Suzhou early tomorrow morning. By the way, Miss Ling, it's an official interview now. If it’s something you don’t want to do, don’t stay overnight in a shady Jianghu gang. Come with me. I have something to ask you.”

 Aren’t you planning to avoid suspicion? What are you doing now?

There are some shady Jianghu gangs. We are under the command of the Four Symbols Sect, and I am directly under the command of the Reverend Zhuque, the 28th Sutra. What do you want to say to the Reverend Suzaku?

Oh, I almost forgot, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, represented by Mr. Changshi, was fighting against the Reverend Suzaku.

Wan Dongliu covered his head.

 …

 In the evening, the night is as cool as water.

It rained heavily yesterday during the Qingming Festival, but today it has stopped. The air is moist and the fragrance is fresh. After taking a bath and changing clothes comfortably, he sat in the open-air courtyard after the rain, eating the dinner sent by Yangzhou Prefecture and rejecting all distractions. Only then could Ling Ruoyu feel like he was isolated from the world. of Enron.

The surge of life and death in the past two days is like a dream. When looking back quietly, it has benefited martial arts immensely. Ling Ruoyu knows how beneficial this time is to him. In the future, he will climb the imperial realm. The experience of these two days is the most valuable. solid foundation.

If it weren't for the fact that everything that happened was real, Ling Ruoyu would have felt that these two days were just a dream, if Chang Shi and the ancient senior were not sitting in front of him.

Even now, it still feels like a dream. Mr. Changshi is so close to this senior that he is almost sitting on his lap. He holds the food with his chopsticks and brings it to his mouth to feed him. He also says: " Have you forgotten the delicacies of the world after sleeping for so long? Come on, try this..."

Ling Ruoyu poked and poked in the bowl with his chopsticks, feeling that he was superfluous just sitting here. Don’t you want to ask me something? Why do you just let me sit here and eat your dog food...

Just talk about your love affairs. Why are you dragging me here to sit here? I heard that the youngest son of Gang Leader Wan is also a dragon and a phoenix in the world, so no one can take a look at it? Are you my parents? You are so lenient.

Baoqin was whispering to Zhao Changhe: "Usually we only met once, but I don't know the details. Now it seems that your little apprentice is not very smart. Even if he is like this, he still doesn't doubt your identity?"

Zhao Changhe passed on: "It's just preconceptions. I broke into the ancient secret realm and met the resurrected senior. At the moment, I didn't show any familiarity with Longque. How could I think about it if I had nothing to do."

"So why do you want to hide it? It's fun to bully your own little apprentice?"

"Fishing, the little girl looks like a little old-fashioned person who can't act. If she knew that the master was protecting her from behind, there would be no harvest in your Yuling Bag today. Besides, it would also eliminate the intention of testing the sword along the way. Really pity."

 “Then you can say it now...”

"There's still a little to go. I want to see the information from Xinghe. As expected, things will change at Tang Buqi's birthday banquet. By the way, why do you want me to tell you so much?"

"Because if I don't say anything, in her mind, I will be ignored by a strange man with just one look, which is very embarrassing."

Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud: "Did Wanzhuang ask you to come?"

"I have been assigned by the young lady to be in Gusu these days, responsible for supervising and auditing some shipping matters. The Book of Troubled Times reported that your young apprentice is guarding his sword to the south of the Yangtze River, so of course I have to come and take a look at the situation."

 “You are now on your own, my little maid.”

 “I have abandoned my wife and children for thirty years, my Lord.”

Zhao Changhe was struck down by one sentence again, and he ate his food in silence.

"I'm full." Ling Ruoyu put down his chopsticks and gave a junior salute: "The dragon bird will be handed over to Chang Shi. I will go back to the room to rest first, so as not to disturb Chang Shi and my seniors."

"Hey, wait a minute." Baoqin shouted, "You'd better keep the dragon bird first."

"Why?"

"Didn't you realize that it is destined for you? Not just anyone can make Longque spin around so hard." Zhao Changhe suddenly said: "Do you feel that Longque likes you?"

Ling Ruoyu hesitated for a moment and said: "I like it too. I don't know why. I am obviously a swordsman and I have no interest in swords. But when I see it, I feel kind to it. And the more we get along with it, the more reluctant I am to part with it. …This feeling of disgust and intimacy is so unreasonable…”

Zhao Changhe's eyes changed a bit, and he looked her up and down.

Ling Ruoyu took half a step back, looking alert.

Zhao Changhe was speechless: "What's your expression?"

Ling Ruoyu said: "What is the relationship between senior and Master Baoqin?"

Zhao Changhe put his arms around Baoqin's waist: "It's the relationship you saw."

“If I’m not mistaken, senior and Mr. Baoqin met for the first time today.”

 “That’s right, it’s called love at first sight.”

 “Senior also said that he is pleased with my master.”

 “That’s right, who said you can only like one?”

Ling Ruoyu's face was expressionless.

"So." Zhao Changhe said seriously: "I told you that I like your master, and at the same time I was making out with Baoqin. Isn't this an obvious way of telling you, little girl, that it's impossible for me and you to make a movie? Who are you showing that expression to? ?”

Ling Ruoyu has a string of ellipses in his heart, but he can still beat him up like this. Doesn't your behavior prove that you are really a pervert and I should stay away from you?

Baoqin laughed out loud.

Ling Ruoyu said angrily: "Sir, what do you like about him the first time you see him?"

Hauqin smiled and moaned: "I like him to be strong and strong, and he becomes soft when he hugs me... and he is a man with stories through the ages."

"..." Ling Ruoyu said with a straight face: "Then what does senior like about my master? I will ask her to change it later."

 Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud: "I like everything about your master."

Ling Ruoyu immediately pointed out: "Master Chang Shi, look at this kind of person, your vision..."

Hand in hand, Baoqin suppressed a smile: "It's nothing. I can compete with Sunset Divine Sword for a man, and I've made a profit."

Ling Ruoyu's seven orifices were filled with smoke.

Zhao Changhe said: "For the sake of helping us guard the door today, put away your narcissistic expression and go back to your room to digest the gains of your battle. This kind of review and review is very important, no one is born I know that back then...someone relied on this kind of review cheating to quickly accumulate combat experience that others could not accumulate in several years."

When the topic reached this point, Ling Ruoyu didn't want to argue with this senior. The senior was indeed kind to him and helped him a lot in this regard. She hesitated for a moment and then said honestly: "I can vividly remember all the battles. Everything is peeling off the cocoon and spinning like silk in my heart, like the moon reflecting on the water. Master said this is my talent."

 Zhao Changhe narrowed his eyes.

Ling Ruoyu hugged Longque and took another step back.

Looking at the girl's cute look, Zhao Changhe smiled and waved: "Then go and have a rest. I want to rest with Qin'er too."

Ling Ruoyu spat secretly, hugged the huge dragon bird and ran away.

Hang Qin hugged Zhao Changhe's neck and whispered: "Do you think..."

Zhao Changhe watched his apprentice run away and murmured to himself: "There is a certain possibility...but it's strange. If she were Xinghe, I should be able to feel it very easily, and Longque would also be able to feel it easily...but so far I haven't. It seems that Long Que didn’t give any reply in this regard, but he just said that he liked her. If it is true, it can only prove that Hong Ling and Jiu You had some secret discussion, and this result would not have been achieved without Jiu You’s participation. "

So far, Zhao Changhe has rebuilt a round of training, and has only returned to the third level of imperial realm strength. It has grown slightly thicker. It is still far away from the third level peak of the Ye family sisters and Piao Miao... but at least they are at the same level.

Now that Ye Wuming has broken through this barrier, Ye Jiuyou has most likely broken through and opened up the hierarchy again. If they were the ones causing trouble, he, Zhao Changhe, might not be able to clear up the situation in a short time.

"Just keep an eye on it, it may not be the case. Anyway, the dragon bird will keep an eye on it, and it will have a clearer answer." Zhao Changhe picked up Baoqin from his waist and walked towards the house: "No matter how many bad things are going to happen in the future, I will I don’t want to make the same mistake again... I can’t let my family suffer anymore.”
