Yuxu returned with a smile, bowed to Zhao Changhe's family of three, and went back to the Louguan Terrace, leaving only one sentence: "If you are free, you can come to the Louguan Terrace for a chat. The old Taoist will prepare a bed for you."
Zhao Changhe returned the greeting respectfully: "Of course I will go."
After Yuxu left, the city of Chang'an fell into silence.
Except for Jiuyou, no one else could see what was happening more than ten miles away. But everyone saw Yuxu chasing after him, Qin Jiu shooting him out of sight with his bow and arrow, and then Yuxu coming back with a smile. A thought came to everyone's mind: Could it be that this arrow killed Po Xun...
The power of gods and demons, especially the famous Po Xun... It is unlikely that such a character can be killed by one arrow. Assuming that he was really shot to death, everyone in the world only knows of one person who has done such a thing.
His name is Zhao Changhe.
Everyone looked at "Qin Jiu", then at the beauty beside him, the name in their hearts was about to come out, but they all secretly looked at Li Boping, and no one dared to shout out loud.
Li Boping was as calm as water.
If Passerby A had guessed it, how could he not guess it
But now is different from half an incense stick ago... At that time, he guessed that it was Zhao Changhe, and he could have just sent people to pile him up and killed him, regardless of what the people thought, but now? Now Zhao Changhe has just broken through the realm of defense!
Can Yujing be killed by the army? What the hell do you want
Moreover, at this moment, Bo'e has fled far away, and Boxun's life or death is unknown. It is obvious that Yuxu has taken his place. All the top forces that Li Boping can rely on in Chang'an City have disappeared. Except for Jiuyou who takes action personally, no one can pose a threat to Zhao Changhe.
If they didn't slap you, Li Boping, to death, it was because Jiuyou was behind him. Even if he took off his disguise and stood here, Li Boping could only pretend not to know him, feeling extremely aggrieved.
But then again, given the current situation, can this group of people directly challenge Jiuyou
Li Boping's heart skipped a beat and he turned to look in the direction of Jiuyou.
Jiuyou still had no expression, just staring at Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe tightly grasped the Xinghe Sword, staring at him, his palms sweating.
Can't fight.
Not to mention that the three of them were not in their peak condition at the moment, and there was a question of whether they could defeat Jiuyou... Jiuyou was not just one person - how many corpse puppets did she have on hand, who could count them
I don't know what Jiuyou is worried about. She is still unwilling to turn hostile at this point. Since she is not going to turn hostile, everyone can naturally take a break.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, but Zhuque suddenly spoke: "I am here on a diplomatic mission. Can the King of Qin receive the envoy on this street?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Yes, you are here as an envoy. I almost thought you were here to clean up the rebellion in your own capital...
The more this happened, the weirder people's minds became. Expelling the enemy chieftain and catching the devil were all heroic deeds praised by people no matter where they were spread. But it turned out that it was not done by the governors of Chang'an, but by the King of Zhao and the Queen Mother who came here to help you do it.
It's true that you have to compare the goods before you throw them away.
Li Boping knew what others were thinking, so he could only swallow his anger and put on an impeccable smile: "Yes, things have changed so much that I almost forgot. Please come in, Your Excellency."
Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling followed Zhuque silently. Li Boping looked at them expressionlessly, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this?"
Zhuque said as if it was a matter of course: "Oh, they are my guards."
"Isn't this 'Brother Qin' a Buddhist disciple? Isn't this Miss Yue a lone traveler?"
"I just recruited you, and the monthly salary is ten cents." Zhuque didn't even bother to make up a decent excuse and strode forward.
Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling were too lazy to say more. Given the current situation, who would be willing to let Zhuque face Jiuyou alone? That person must be crazy!
The people gathered around Zhuque Street dispersed with satisfaction. Today's show was more exciting than the previous ten years.
I heard that the purpose of the Suzaku Reverend's mission was to ask for the hand of Miss Li on behalf of King Zhao...
… …
"Blind man." Li Boping remained silent along the way, and Zhuque Yue Hongling did not talk much to Zhao Changhe in the guard of honor. There was silence throughout the whole team, so Zhao Changhe took the opportunity to look for the blind man.
The blind man who had not responded to Jiuyou's calls since he showed up, responded this time with just one word: "Get lost."
Zhao Changhe was also extremely embarrassed. Although looking into the eyes was half true and half false, it could not be false to see the deepest desires in the heart. It was a scene that he had not expected. He wanted to test whether the blind man knew it, but this time it was over. He really knew it.
How can you be so strong that you can see this kind of soul battle? Outsiders can't see it, but you can? I haven't seen you "entering a dream", so how can you see it
How do we communicate this time
It's like telling a girl I want to have sex with you, and expecting others to talk to you nicely? It's good enough that they don't beat you up. Besides, she's not an ordinary girl, she's a book spirit. Theoretically, she's a book. Others copy books, but you copy books
By the way, the blind man wearing a light gauze, with spring light hidden, lying on his side and laughing, is so damn beautiful...
I knew that the blind girl was pretty before, and no matter how much I disliked her, I would subconsciously describe her as "the goddess of the dark night", and I couldn't say she was ugly against my will, which was evident. But that kind of temperament would not make people think of desire, and no matter how close the two sides were, it was like there was an invisible galaxy between them, and I didn't know how far away it was, just like a dream that was illusory and did not exist at all.
But with this change of clothes, her temperament changed completely, and she instantly made people's mouths dry. Even the original distance and indifference became more tempting. When I see a serious blind man again in the future, I am afraid that the amorous feelings in the fantasy world will inevitably flash through my mind, and I will never forget it.
Bo Xun is also from the Buddhist system, right? Why are you Buddhists always like this...
"That..." Zhao Changhe searched his brains desperately, looking for a topic to start with, and finally found one: "I shot Bo Xun in the shoulder with an arrow, but he disappeared. Is he dead or not? Should I broadcast the book of chaotic times..."
The blind man did not respond.
Zhao Changhe said: "You don't even know whether He is dead or not, do you?"
The blind man was furious: "Do you think I'm as useless as you?"
Just be willing to speak!
Zhao Changhe immediately asked, "Why don't you tell me if you know?"
"Why should I tell you whether he is dead or not? Am I your radar?" The blind man was furious: "I don't even know whether I killed anyone or not, and you have the nerve to ask me!"
"His is different." Zhao Changhe was criticized so much that he treated it as praise and discussed seriously: "The Sea King is of a high level, but he was injured by Old Xia and he didn't even recover his control realm. It's understandable that he was shot to death. Yin Kui's level is too ordinary. He is just a representative of some rules under Jiuyou. It's not surprising that he was shot to death. However, Po Xun is of a high level and is a type of Thousands of Illusions. He is free and so on... Theoretically speaking, the devil in the human heart is always there, and it is entirely possible that He will never die."
The blind man was silent for a long time, and finally stopped getting angry with him. He said calmly: "Whether you are dead or not is something you need to understand. There is no such thing as true eternal life in the world."
Zhao Changhe said, "Even if they are not dead, they are seriously injured. I think that once they are seriously injured, they are like a rare treasure, which is extremely dangerous. I suspect that Anmie was sucked by Xuexiao before. This is probably the main reason why the gods and demons did not dare to show up in the world before, and they did not dare to be targeted by you and listed on the list of troubled times. Once their status is reported by you from time to time, they may tear each other apart and lose their way."
The blind man was silent for a while before he said, "Yeah."
Zhao Changhe added: "I'm still thinking, the gods and demons have appeared collectively in the past few months, I'm afraid it's not just because Lao Xia died, it should be because their recovery has accelerated. When Hong Ling was in Kunlun, Bo Xun was far from reaching the current level. Before that, the entire era was barely surviving, and suddenly it was able to recover like this in just a few months. I think there must be a reason."
The blind man said faintly, "Oh?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Hong Ling was in Kunlun during the same period as we were overseas. What changes were related to their sudden and massive revival? There is only one thing. We got two pages of the Heavenly Book overseas. When Lao Xia died after returning to Shenzhou, we got another page from him, making three pages in a row. At this time, I already have six pages of the Heavenly Book in my hand, or rather, in your hand... You originally had one page broadcasting in the sky, and with these six pages, it is a total of seven pages. The nine pages of the Heavenly Book are almost complete, and the Heavenly Dao is becoming more and more complete. This is the main reason for the revival of the gods and demons."
The blind man said with some sarcasm: "It's different after the defense is broken. You can feel the rules of heaven, right?"
"Yes, a lot of things can be seen, as if deconstructing the essence of the world."
The blind man sneered: "Collecting the Heavenly Book will lead to the revival of gods and demons, so are you trying to say that you don't want to collect the last two pages?"
"You can actually tell me straight." Zhao Changhe said, "After all, the Heavenly Book is intact, and you are definitely the one who benefits the most. Whether others are revived or not is not something you can really care about."
The blind man said, "Oh, I can't tell that you would care whether I live or die." "Yes."
The air was quiet again, and the face he saw in the illusion seemed to be the most intuitive proof here.
The blind man's face was filled with anger again. Before he could say anything, Zhao Changhe changed the subject again: "Why is Jiuyou pretending to be a lady here at the Li family? What's the point of it for her? Shouldn't she be like Dao Zun, hiding behind them and forcing Yuxu to do everything?"
"Dao Zun has Yuxu to use, but who does Jiuyou have? How can those mummies of Huangyang Fengyin stand on the stage? She needs an agent on the stage, and now the Li family is of course her first choice. But the Li family has no strong people. Li Boping is only in the middle of the human list, and he is also walking on a tightrope by the three Hu people, Buddhism and Taoism. There is a risk of being completely controlled by others at any time. She naturally has to give the Li family a direct and open platform. Now Huangyang Fengyin and others, and even Xuexiao, actually belong to the Li family because they are all loyal to her."
"Then you don't need to come here and be a lady. Isn't it the same to just stand behind the scenes?"
"Because she is a young lady, as long as the Li family unifies the world, she can naturally succeed the emperor. In addition, she is not called a young lady within the Li family, but a certain ancestor has risen from the grave. Of course, this cannot be disclosed to the public, and her public identity can only be called a young lady."
"Does she also need the title of an emperor? She represents chaos and annihilation, right? Isn't it enough to just disrupt the world?"
"Xia Longyuan's example taught her that nothing can cause chaos in the world more conveniently than an emperor."
"Grass."
Come to think of it, didn't you say that it wasn't my radar? You described this matter involving Jiuyou in such detail, as if you wanted to burrow into his stomach like a worm and even strip him of his underwear.
"Of course, this is just my guess, it doesn't represent the truth. After all, I'm not the worm in her stomach." The blind man said calmly, "There is another possibility..."
"What?"
"She may have learned from the experience of the ancient defeat. Without the foundation of humanity, everything is illusory. Her actions during this resurrection have a bit of this flavor..." The blind man said, smiling sarcastically: "She is also trying to touch the way of the Night Emperor to see if there is any reference... But the two are originally opposites. If she can unify them, she will not be herself anymore."
"what is that?"
“It’s the way of heaven.”
Zhao Changhe: “…”
The blind man said in a relaxed tone, "It just so happens that she is trapped in her own trap as a young lady now. Someone has come to propose marriage. I really want to see her expression. You guys should work harder on this matter. Don't just talk about it for fun, work really hard. If she gets angry, I will take care of her."
This was the first time that the blind man said, "I'll take care of it," and was willing to take action openly for this matter.
Zhao Changhe looked extremely strange. Is there something wrong with your reason for taking action? You said that we should follow the rules, but you don't follow the rules just to eat melons, right
Forget it, anyway, we've talked about business instead of things, and at least we've covered up the illusion of springtime. The blind man won't dwell on that matter anymore, so it's a result.
Li Boping's voice came from the side: "Please come to the hall, Your Excellency."
When the two men came to their senses, they realized that they had already arrived at the main hall and Li Boping had already taken his seat.
Jiuyou was standing next to Li Boping, staring at Zhao Changhe intently. There was a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, which had always been calm.
The blind man was shocked. He was so engrossed in talking nonsense with him that he forgot to observe his surroundings, let alone the world. He was almost discovered by Jiuyou.
She dared to enter Yue Hongling's dream when they were in love and was not afraid of Yue Hongling knowing it, but when facing Jiuyou, she did not dare to be distracted at all even though they were separated by the void, otherwise she might be discovered at any time.
- Jiuyou’s current strength can only reach the initial stage of the second level of the Control Realm, but her understanding of the laws of heaven is at the third level, and she must not be negligent in any way.
Zhuque had also taken her seat in the hall. Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling stood silently behind her. The three of them were looking at Jiuyou beside Li Boping, with all their minds tense.
Li Boping was saying, "Your family and mine are enemies. Since Your Excellency is here as an envoy, we, as a civilized country, will not make things difficult for the envoy. Your Excellency, please let me know what you want to discuss."
Zhuque smiled slightly: "Just now the King of Qin said that Bo'e was hiding here secretly, you didn't know?"
Li Boping lied with his eyes open: "I really don't know."
"Then when Yeletu led the light cavalry from Guanlong to Taihang, bypassed the Three Jins, and raided the capital, it had nothing to do with you?"
"Of course, as we all know, the Hu people once bypassed Yumen and plundered Guanlong. Chang'an was breached at that time, but we quickly drove them out." Li Boping continued to lie: "To this day, there are still many small groups of Hu people in Guanlong who are plundering the valleys. We have also sent troops to suppress them, but with little success. So the army of Yeletu must have bypassed Chang'an and headed straight for Taihang, and we were powerless to stop them."
Obviously, the Li family's army was ambushed by Huangfu Shaozong later, but he just pretended that nothing happened. If Zhuque asked again, he could also say that it was a war between our two families. What? The Hu people opened the way first? Sorry, we didn't have enough scouts and didn't know about this.
No matter how false it is, as long as they still want to rule China in the future, they must cover up the fact that they once used the troops of the Hu people. If they succeed in unifying the world, they will also march north. After all, whoever rules the world is the enemy of the northern Hu.
Zhuque was too lazy to expose it, so he just said lazily: "Tomorrow is the beginning of spring... Although in history, the Hu people usually went south in autumn when the horses were fat, and would not choose spring, such as last year in autumn. But you and I both know that the situation is different this year. Our Han Dynasty has just experienced turmoil, and the Guanlong mentioned by the King of Qin was also attacked and looted by the Hu people. I believe that apart from the prosperity of Chang'an, other places are relatively desolate, and everyone is in a period of recovery. On the contrary, Timur has just defeated Batu and regained control of the land south of the desert. They will not give us a chance. As long as the snow stops, they will definitely go south."
Li Boping thought to himself that what I want is for them to go south. Why are you telling me this...
But he could only say, "Yes, this is the reason why Your Excellency is on this mission?"
"Of course. If the Han Dynasty and the King of Qin stop fighting for a while and jointly attack the barbarians in the north, there is a chance of victory. After all, Timur was defeated last year and is not as strong as imagined. We are only at a disadvantage because of our own discord and mutual entanglement." Zhuque said forcefully: "If you and I can cooperate, then we can do more than just resist the invasion. I think we can even march out of the northern border and sweep away all the enemies!"
Li Boping smiled and said, "Guanlong is exhausted and can only protect itself. If you are willing to fight in the north, I admire you very much. I wish you success in advance."
Zhuque said: "I can fight back, you are weak?"
"We are naturally not as fertile as the Han Dynasty, with its vast fertile land and powerful military force."
"In that case, if you can stay at home and not cause trouble for us, it's not impossible." Zhuque said leisurely, "But this kind of alliance is extremely fragile. Without someone to maintain it, we can't trust it. So how about a marriage or something?"
Finally, saying this, Li Boping secretly glanced at Jiuyou beside him, but Jiuyou was still looking at Zhao Changhe, like a porcelain doll, with no expression from beginning to end.
Li Boping was slightly stunned. No way, with this attitude, you really like him...
Without any instructions from his ancestors, Li Boping could only bite the bullet and make up his own story: "Of course, a marriage alliance is not impossible, but why can't I ask for a Han princess for my son?"
"There is no princess in our family, hahaha."
Li Boping: “…”
"Besides, you are not worthy. Even my maids may not be someone you can touch." Zhuque said leisurely, "Stop talking nonsense. It's meaningless. I heard that your daughter is very beautiful. If you are willing to send her to serve our King Zhao, the two sides can temporarily stop fighting. If you are not willing... Today, Bo'e appeared in Chang'an, and Poxun came from the Buddhist sect. Why did the Li family refuse to form an alliance? The people of the world will have their own opinions. Tomorrow, the Han army will leave Hangu Pass. Once the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will all be crushed to pieces. Don't say I didn't warn you."
How could there be such a marriage proposal? This is just to cause trouble. Zhuque would not sincerely propose marriage for Zhao Changhe.
Even if Li Boping really had a daughter, he couldn't bear such talk. Just as he was about to reject it angrily, Jiuyou beside him suddenly spoke quietly: "If you really want to discuss marriage, you can discuss the details. If the requirements are met, it's not impossible to consider it."
Eh
Li Boping was stunned, and Zhuque stood there with his eyes wide open, dumbfounded.
What do you want to do, little bitch!
Even Yue Hongling, who had been acting as a guard without saying a word, subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword.
Zhao Changhe opened his mouth wide, wanting to pull the blind man down from the void again. What does she want to do? Say something, blind man!
Unfortunately, even the blind man was stunned at this time.
