The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 695: The Trapped Bird Is 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, and her younger brother had no choice but to say that the soldiers and horses really couldn't be fought, which meant that they really couldn't be fought, and 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 withstand some face, then only the three Jins are against him. They may recognize Xia Longyuan more, but resist Zhao Changhe.

Before the collapse of the Great Xia, Shanxi merchants would never go to Yanmen Pass. It was meaningless. They were just looking for money. It didn’t matter what family, country or foreign race you had. Who couldn’t get along with money... The more stupid Xia Longyuan was, the more stupid they were. Happy.

But once the Great Xia collapsed, the head of the family became Zhao Changhe. The merchants were very sensitive and knew very well how Zhao Changhe viewed them after his last trip to the north of the Great Wall. 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. Huangfuqing 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 the reward to celebrate the New Year; secondly, even if they are forced to use it, the troops are not enough, and being trapped in the vast Jin Dynasty is like falling into the quagmire. In this wind and snow, the morale is low, which is no different from dying. This is not how I use my troops. 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."

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

These four words are usually adjectives, not that 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 his father, there is no doubt about this feeling, and it also touched the sigh that the venerable had never 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. And Zhao Changhe made it clear that she could still be a Suzaku, roam the world, and do what she likes the most.

Like a trapped bird coming out of its cage.

"I... if I am out for a long time, will it be safe in the palace..." Huangfuqing 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 for a 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 to protect me for the rest of my life, mother. If you can really decide the outcome early, you can protect me again."

"Sigh." 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 a lot of ideas to deal with these Shanxi merchants according to Jianghu's thinking. Shaozong can just play in the mud, so there's no need." Who is he? The so-called alliance of merchants is definitely not of the same mind. There are many operative articles here. I will pick the head of the most jumpy one first. Naturally, people will be shocked. There are always those who sway. When the Four Symbols Order is issued, let’s see. Their attitude..."

Seeing how the situation was analyzed all the way to the end, Zhao Changhe and Xia 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: "Does the Four Elephant Teaching staff have enough people?"

"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 lend her a hand. People." 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 also have to serve as internal guards. Where can we get so many people..."

You said you were an inner guard and you called yourself a demon sect at the same time. How could you say that... 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 bring with Luojiazhuang is the one you beat."

Huangfu Qing 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 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's very nice at all."

Huangfu Qing glanced at her, thinking of finding a book for her to copy. You also know that you were as bright as a lantern next to her back then. Is that something to brag about? You don't know what's good for you.

Xia Chichi had already stood up and left, and really didn't want to see the adulterous couple flirting with each other: "Anyway, if you want to leave, you have to finish the formation just now! Okay, I have to go to court, you guys take your time!"

Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing looked at each other, and hand in hand, they went to the underground sky.

As the greatest 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, such as the routine of the god appearing there by clicking there, which is really too convenient. Zhao Changhe always has an idea that this place as a whole can actually be sacrificed and refined into a portable globe, which is the real final form... But that is obviously very far away and cannot be realized in the short term.

For now, the meaning of this small world of the underground sky can be fully expanded to the scope of the entire palace. If the palace can be made into a relatively independent and closed environment, it only needs to be strictly guarded at the entrance. This is more comfortable and safer than having Suzaku sitting in the core.

"What are you going to do?" Huangfu Qing asked Zhao Changhe with some curiosity: "Haven't you always been weak in formations? Can you improve our formations?"

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

"I saw that the two moves you used against me last night were indeed interesting. Was it Qi?"

"As expected of you, it was indeed Qi." Zhao Changhe pointed his hand at the sky: "In essence, your invisible formation is also like the atmosphere that wraps around the palace. I don't need to understand the formation. I just need to connect the Qi here with your formation to form a complete air layer, which is a closed little world. As for how to adjust the formation, you do it."

As the voice sounded, invisible air waves surged out from the ground, spread across the sky, and merged with the formation arranged by the Four Symbols Sect above. The Suzaku naked eye could see an arc-shaped air layer covering the palace, which was extremely mysterious and did not block the wind and rain or the sun, but isolated all invading forces.

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

Huangfu Qing looked at Zhao Changhe with burning eyes and whispered: "Have you discovered one thing..."

Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "What?"

"The various attributes of cultivation you have mastered are all outside the Four Symbols and Five Elements, but they are close to each other because of us... Even the Rejuvenation Technique that you are relatively major in seems to be of the wood element, but it is only used for recovery, not for the main battle."

Zhao Changhe was stunned. It was true. His control of the five elements was all auxiliary in nature. The Rejuvenation Technique was like this, and the boxing was also like this. Neither was it really controlling wood and water. It seemed that he was avoiding the foundation of the Four Symbols Sect in the dark. I don’t know if it was subconscious.

"I don't know if you are intentionally avoiding these things, and I won't comment on them..." Huangfu Qing was also talking about this, and then said: "But since you are avoiding such mainstream practice and are unwilling to follow Lie's old path to prove the blood evil again, will you eventually feel that your path to the realm of control has become chaotic and confused, and you can't find a clear goal?"

"Yes, this is exactly what I am worried about recently. I should be planning to break through the realm of control now, and I feel that my practice is almost there, but I can't find a clear direction. Qing'er... Can the Venerable teach me?"
