When the Maitreya messenger came again to agree on the time and route of the expedition, Zhao Changhe had already lived in the mountain village for more than half a month.
From being the Son of God who was fanatically worshipped in the beginning, he became someone that people avoided as much as possible.
Sect Leader Xue had been hiding and refusing to see him for seven or eight days. Finally, whenever he appeared in the village, everyone would scatter without a trace of him.
He beat every capable fighter in the Blood God Cult, from one-on-one duels to group fights, from normal combat to fighting with one hand tied, from playing with knives to using swords and finally using bare hands.
I have practiced everything I should practice and have mastered it by heart.
"Teacher Sun, Teacher Sun..."
"Go away, I don't know you."
Apart from the earliest period in Beimang, Zhao Changhe had another experience of practicing large-scale skills and becoming invincible in the mountain villages. The difference was that at that time, Instructor Sun watched his proud disciple grow from a mere novice to "Boss Zhao" with expectation and appreciation, but this time, even Instructor Sun ran away when he saw him coming from a distance.
"Hey, I'm here to say goodbye, Old Sun! Why are you running away?"
Instructor Sun finally stopped and turned to look at the disciple who was coming like the wind in a flash.
This Qinggong is really cool... It has already surpassed the Blood God Cult's Stepping on Blood Without Trace by several levels. It is no longer the Stepping on Water and Waves that he used before. No one can even recognize the moves.
Zhao Changhe rushed over and quietly handed Teacher Sun a booklet and a ball of "jelly".
"What is this?"
"This is the booklet of my experience in Blood Evil Skill and Sword Skill that I wrote these days. Please correct me."
You want to teach me, but you are too embarrassed to say it out loud, so let me correct you... Instructor Sun didn't know what emotion he was in, and said expressionlessly: "I don't practice with the axe, the axe is crooked... Forget it, I'll reluctantly teach you a little."
"Uh-huh."
"What is this thing? Master Xue's son?"
Zhao Changhe: "… This is a special kind of energy crystal that can be used to absorb and transform the body. It also has some benefits for the internal energy meridians."
Instructor Sun's expression changed.
Zhao Changhe lowered his voice and said, "Don't let others see it. Use it quietly."
"I'm not stupid." Instructor Sun held back for a moment, then said, "Are you really leaving?"
"Well, Maitreya has made some moves, so I should make some moves too." Zhao Changhe said with a smile, "I never thought that the two times I had the most comfortable time to accumulate experience were both in the Blood God Cult's stronghold."
Instructor Sun said, "So being a bandit suits you. Do you want to change your current behavior? You are too polite now, and you make the whole village more civilized. I am not used to it, and I hate you when I see you."
"That won't do. We're about to meet someone and if we say something rude, we'll get beaten. Actually... the arrogance of a gangster lies in his actions, not his words."
"I don't think you've behaved like a gangster." Instructor Sun is really uneducated, otherwise he would really want to say, "If only life could be as it was when we first met."
Zhao Changhe said nothing more, clasped his fists and bowed again: "Take care, instructor, and we will see you later."
As he spoke, his body floated backwards, taking one step back several feet, before turning around in mid-air, tapping his toes on the edge of the fence and flying away.
Instructor Sun kept his mouth open for a long time, thinking in his heart that with such a skill in lightness, all men would think he was too handsome. He wondered which girl would be in trouble this time.
The child has grown up...
He squeezed the jelly and his mood suddenly became very good. He went back to his room swaying and humming a little tune.
… …
Zhao Changhe went all the way to the foot of the mountain, took the black horse that was stored in the village at the bottom, and headed straight for Xiangyang.
I did not ride on the black horse, but took the black horse on a boat. I left Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day.
Going down the river to create a famous scene, when will this be the last time to show off
There is still some time before Maitreya and Master Xue agree to send troops to Xiangyang. Zhao Changhe now knows exactly how the other side will fight and how many troops will be there. He has a clear idea of it.
Calculating the time, it should be possible to go to Gusu to inform Wanzhuang first, but before that, I have to go to Xiangyang to find out the bottom line. I don't want to find out the enemy's situation but not the situation of the place I have to defend, otherwise Wanzhuang will laugh to death.
Because theoretically Xiangyang is still the territory of Daxia, but in reality it may not be the case.
Someone told him a long time ago that now everywhere is gathering troops and establishing their own regimes, and each place may have its own ideas, and he, who is suspected to be a prince, would be in danger if he went to such a place... I don't know if Xiangyang is one of them. After being away from the world for a long time, he is almost unable to understand the world's power structure.
Anyway, after getting a good idea of the situation, I can just leave it to Wanzhuang to arrange. He doesn't know how to fight a war, strategy or tactics, he only knows how to fight.
But I understand evening makeup.
Even Tang Buqi had studied military books since childhood, let alone her evening makeup... Well, speaking of Huangfu Qing, she was a true daughter of a general. She should have worn armor and rode a horse, like Mu Guiying or Fan Lihua. It would have been a waste of talent to enter a palace.
Previously, Wanzhuang had stayed in Jinling and confronted Mile. Later, both sides felt that this kind of personal stalemate seemed very stupid on the battlefield with thousands of troops, so they tacitly returned to their own homes. At that time, it was mainly because Wanzhuang had no military power, and except for his personal deterrence, he could not do anything else, so he had no choice but to return to Beijing.
This time he left Beijing again to head the work in the south. I don't know if he got the authorization to command the troops, but it's different...
The situation in Jiangnan is very bad. Although Maitreya Sect failed to achieve the sweeping momentum they expected, it led to the formation of separatist forces in various places. Wanzhuang must be very troubled. I don't know if Zhenxia Longyuan has expressed his opinion on this. In short, the puppet fake should be unable to sit still, and it is possible that he gave Tang Wanzhuang certain authority.
Of course, there is a certain possibility that Wanzhuang does not want to follow the rules anymore. This is her own decision. With her own prestige and the foundation of the Tang family, it is not difficult for her to gain military power. Maybe most of the militias in Jiangnan will be willing to follow her banner... Of course, this is only a fine line between holding an army and exercising self-reliance. I don't know if the loyal Wanzhuang is willing to do it.
As my thoughts shifted from the barbaric world to the human world, Xiangyang came into sight.
Zhao Changhe looked at the flag of Xiangyang from afar and couldn't see anything special for a while. On the city wall was still the dragon flag of Great Xia, and next to it was a general's flag with the word "Lu" written in large letters.
I vaguely remembered Xiangyang Lv Wende... However, the Lord of Xiangyang City here has nothing to do with this. It's No. 48 on the Human List, Xiaoxiang Divine Sword Lv Shiheng.
This is a nickname bestowed by the Book of Troubled Times, just like Yue Hongling's "Sunset Sword" and Chi Li's "Demon Fox", it is very prestigious.
Anyone who has this kind of reputation on the list is not a fake, he must be a master of secret treasures, without a doubt.
An interesting point is that the main general of the Maitreya Sect who came to attack Xiangyang this time was a devilish maniac who happened to be ranked a few places above Lu Shiheng, 44th on the human list, and his "life-seeking impermanence" ended here.
He was not originally a Maitreya believer, but a well-known Southern Demonic Path master. However, he was probably recruited by Maitreya's money and beauty this year and became an important general of Maitreya. I don't know if he changed his Dharma name. According to the routine of Maitreya, should he change it to Dharma Xiu
Zhao Changhe felt that it was not as good as the one he made up.
Together with Xue Canghai of the Blood God Sect who "responded to the call and sent troops", he is ranked 71st on the Human List, and his actual combat power is now more than that. In this battle, all the real Human List members gathered together to take the lead.
With thoughts turning in his mind, he led the horse slowly and arrived at the city gate without realizing it.
The city gates were not tightly closed as they were before the battle, and people were still coming in and out. After all, Lu Shiheng didn't know that the Maitreya Cult was colluding with the Blood God Cult to give him a hard blow. However, the inspection at the city gates was quite strict, and the city entry tax was also very high.
"Stop! What are you doing?" Several guards pointed their spears at Zhao Changhe: "Where's the pass?"
Zhao Changhe really has a pass this time. A force like the Blood God Cult has a large number of fake identities. Sect Leader Xue has at least a hundred prepared passes on hand, so he can just use any one of them.
He honestly took out his pass and handed it over. The guard took it and took a look: "Are you from the capital, studying in the south? You can still study in the south these days... The name is okay, Zhao Wangtang..."
Zhao Changhe: “?”
Wait a minute, when I took the pass, I just picked one up and put it in my arms, and I was too lazy to even look at it.
Lao Xue, what does this name you came up with mean
"Okay, one or two taels of silver for entering the city." The guard held out his hand.
Zhao Changhe finally understood what robbing money meant.
Why not go directly to the government instead of stealing money from the copycats
