Huangfu Qing's expression was filled with excitement. It seemed that he was distracted before because he was really thinking about this matter.
There is no problem with her identity. If the Queen Mother is not suitable for the expedition, she can continue to use Suzaku. Anyway, politics and religion are now integrated. As long as the stinky apprentice appoints her, the Venerable can be directly transferred to the general. There was a time when I thought the vest was useless, but now it is more and more useful.
As for being a little rusty after not being in the army for a long time, that's not a problem. Zhao Changhe is the one who really doesn't know anything, but everyone thinks he should be the commander, anyway, they mainly listen to others. After all, Huangfu Qing has a very good foundation, and after getting familiar with her, she will definitely be much more suitable than Zhao Changhe.
Zhao Changhe was only more familiar with Cui Yuanyong than himself in terms of familiarity and tacit understanding of the main generals in the army. Huangfu Shaozong was his own brother, so he was much more familiar with him than he was. In fact, there was also a main force of the Blood God Cult, which was originally a subordinate of her, Suzaku, but was poached by the stinky pig. Now it was too smooth to take it back under her command. However, the other generals at all levels still had to continue to get familiar with each other. If they had nothing to do these few days, they should go to the military camp to meet with the superiors and subordinates, take over the military power, and get familiar with various affairs. They had to spend all their time in the military camp.
Although she missed the rare opportunity to spend the New Year with a man, Huangfu Qing felt that it was more suitable for her.
He was just hesitating whether he should recommend himself, fearing that his stinky apprentice and Tang Wanzhuang would reject his proposal, which would be embarrassing. Then Zhao Changhe brought it up.
He can now really take everyone's thoughts into consideration and become an even more qualified core player.
The effect of his proposal and Huangfu Qing's own proposal was naturally different. At least others would not reject his proposal and would only consider it from the perspective of whether it was appropriate or not. The more he considered it, the brighter his eyes became, and he suddenly had a feeling of "who else but her".
There are other veteran generals in the court, but this war obviously involves the battle of the defense, and others really can't fight this banner. If we say that the most prestigious person on the Heavenly Ranking of the Han Dynasty is Zhao Changhe, it is actually Suzaku. She has been a powerful figure in the world for so many years, and her prestige is higher than that of Xuanwu.
"It's time for mother to go." Xia Chichi exchanged glances with Tang Wanzhuang, and noticing that Tang Wanzhuang was nodding, he made the decision directly: "I will draft the decree later, and make the appointment in public at the court tomorrow morning. Mother can actually go to the military camp in the afternoon and let Shaozong take her around to familiarize herself with the situation first."
This stinky disciple is now more like a gang with Tang Wanzhuang, you two are just a king and a minister, right? Huangfu Qing didn't bother to care, the disciple was useless, at least she had a man. She bit her lower lip and looked at Zhao Changhe with a seductive look.
I'm going to be very busy recently... I'll reward you later.
… …
It was called a family dinner, but in fact, they talked about state affairs, as if all the major events in the world could be discussed at the dinner table. However, in fact, many details could not be discussed at the dinner table, such as the route of the troops, which had to be discussed and studied by all the generals.
At the end of the dinner, which was not sure whether to be considered a family dinner or a state banquet, Huangfu Qing impatiently dragged Xia Chichi to draft an imperial edict. Xia Chichi, who wanted to talk to the man she had not seen for a long time, was dragged away helplessly.
Because she was sitting next to the head of the family at the dinner table, Baoqin, who felt that she had reached the peak of her life and was still grinning, was also dragged away by her own lady. Tang Wanzhuang had endured it for a long time and couldn't afford to lose that person. I was counting on you to output, but you just grinned. I guess His Majesty was laughing so hard that his stomach burst. He thought that the opponent sitting at the same table was just like this.
In the end, Zhao Changhe took Yue Hongling to visit the imperial palace and go to the Taimiao to watch the stars together.
"You are such an open-minded person and have no hostility towards others, so why are you glaring at Chi Chi?" The two of them were taking a walk after dinner, and Zhao Changhe asked casually.
Yue Hongling also answered casually: "Everyone has one or two people in their fate that they don't like. It's nothing strange. I was thinking before that if it weren't for you, this guy and I would be enemies for life. But she became the emperor for no apparent reason, and it seems that I can't be her enemy anymore."
"According to the martial arts concepts we have learned before, you and the Four Symbols are in opposition but can be combined and become one in the end. Even if you and Chi Chi have some conflicts, you will probably make peace in the end, whether I am there or not."
"Maybe. According to your causal line of qi reading, how about that?"
"I can't see something so clear. Right now, the cause and effect line in my eyes can only give me the feeling that 'these two people have a deep relationship and will have a strong fate in the future', but I can't see anything more specific. As for this meaning, everyone at the table sees it the same way." Zhao Changhe said: "But if we combine it with the Qi channels, Chi Chi's dragon Qi is very strong now. This country is really stable. Even if this battle is not won, it will not lead to destruction."
"Why don't you tell her? It makes everyone worried."
"You can't tell anyone randomly, otherwise you'll become lazy... I have to tell myself that my vision is unreliable."
Yue Hongling smiled and didn't answer.
Zhao Changhe sighed and said, "The time for cultivation is too short. I feel like I have to learn everything, but I only learn a little bit. Including space, which I really need to study, but I always put it aside. Why don't you focus on the sword? The path is clear."
Yue Hongling said, "It's the same thing actually. Before, I followed you to study the Qi channels in order to spread my sword intent and transform my sword into thousands. Now I also want to study space so that my sword can pass through the obstacles of space and be omnipresent. I learn the thousands of ways just to make the sword more powerful, and you should do the same. Now you have long escaped the limitations of the Blood Evil Sword Technique and are now using your sword to cut through the stars. All the bypasses are for the purpose of using this sword, so you won't feel that you are focusing too much, in the final analysis, it's all just for that sword."
Zhao Changhe nodded and smiled: "Yes."
As they were talking, they had already walked to the Imperial Temple. Zhao Changhe took Yue Hongling's hand and walked in: "If you want to comprehend space, you can come here. I also want to try more this time to see how much I can improve after controlling the realm."
Yue Hongling followed him in and looked at the underground starry sky, feeling quite shocked.
It was the first time for her to see such a thing where the whole world was concentrated in one's own home, allowing her to observe and even reach any place in the world without leaving her home.
What Xia Longyuan had been following was obviously the footsteps of the blind man. He was temporarily unable to rely entirely on his own strength, so he created such a secret realm to assist him. In essence, it was already very close to the blind man's ability. Once he took this step and could be omnipresent without relying on the secret realm, he would definitely become the second blind man.
In the past, Zhao Changhe could only comprehend the will of the stars here, and could not do anything else. After all, he had not yet broken through the barrier, and his Yin Spirit had not yet condensed, let alone released from the body. But now it seems that he can give it a try...
What Yue Hongling wanted to comprehend was different from his, so the two of them did not stay together, but sat cross-legged on the high platform to comprehend their own things.
The blind man crossed his arms and watched coldly. In fact, the relationship between these two people was pure and intimate. They were on the same path of martial arts and chivalry, and walked hand in hand. It was quite comfortable to watch. But if we go back in time, when Zhao Changhe had not yet obtained Yue Hongling, when Bo Xun asked him what he wanted in his heart, what was it
Is she also Yue Hongling, with her clothes half undressed and a gentle smile
Even though they know each other well, they still have those things in their mind. Men are really low. Only when they get married, they will return to their original nature.
Zhao Changhe had no idea that the blind man had criticized him so much that his mind was already immersed in the underground sky.
The first item to be tested is that now that we have the Yin God, which can survive without a body like those so-called demon gods, it can naturally roam outside. With the help of this sky, can we achieve the same as Xia Longyuan, who descended thousands of miles away
Having already mastered the corresponding positions of the sky and the earth, Zhao Changhe did not dare to go too far. After hesitating for a moment, he pointed at a certain location.
On New Year's Day, Xue Canghai was in the military camp slaughtering pigs and sheep with a group of Blood God followers, drinking heavily, and his voice was so loud that it almost floated into the city: "I have long seen the potential of the Holy Son. The pursuit back then was not a pursuit, it was to help him hone his skills! Don't you think so, Old Sun?"
Instructor Sun clasped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
You almost killed me back then... I lost my whereabouts due to Changhe's diversion, and you have the nerve to say that you helped him hone his skills...
"What's with that tone?" Xue Canghai glanced at him in dissatisfaction: "Hasn't my expression been obvious enough? I let her go because I knew that Yue Hongling had a relationship with the Holy Son. Isn't it obvious?"
All the believers: “…”
Xue Canghai said: "Today is New Year's Day, each person will receive a red envelope of fifty coins."
“… I said that the leader gave way too obviously at that time!” The voices were scattered.
"That's right." Xue Canghai drank proudly, "And later, I knew that Suzaku Venerable would be the Holy Son's man sooner or later, so I directly joined the Holy Son, not afraid at all that Suzaku Venerable would say he was a traitor. Do you think I agreed? In the past, we didn't even dare to breathe when we saw Suzaku Venerable, but now we can hold our heads high and face her, right? We are the Holy Son's direct subordinates, and Suzaku Venerable has to give us face!"
"Yes, yes, yes." A person suddenly floated down beside him and sat next to him naturally: "Old Xue, have a drink."
"Where did this unruly bastard come from... Holy Son?" Xue Canghai dropped the wine bowl in his hand: "How did you show up?"
Zhao Changhe caught the bowl he dropped and was a little surprised.
Being able to catch the bowl shows that his spirit and soul are concentrated... The once puzzling case can now be solved. Being able to feel the jade-like texture of the blind man's slender hand so early on shows that it is indeed not the blind man's own body, but a manifestation of his concentrated spirit and soul.
After trying, he was able to grab the bowl physically but couldn't seem to eat or drink from it, so he gave up and stuffed it back into Xue Canghai's hand with a smile: "Old Xue, happy new year. Not only me, you will also meet the Reverend Suzaku soon. I hope you can still be so tough then."
After saying this, he bowed to Instructor Sun and wished him a happy new year, then disappeared.
Xue Canghai: “?”
Turning around, Instructor Sun and the other Blood God followers also had their mouths wide open, as if in a dream. It seemed like this wasn't an illusion... Was this... a divine presence
Xue Canghai was so frightened that he trembled and sobered up. I didn't say anything bad about you. I was just bragging behind your back. What's the big deal
Before everyone woke up from their stupor, there was a commotion outside the camp gate, and the guards were saluting: "General Huangfu."
Huangfu Shaozong's voice came: "I'll bring the coach to see everyone."
Xue Canghai looked out in a daze, and saw Zhuque, wearing a suit of soft armor and her mask, walking in leisurely beside Huangfu Shaozong.
"General Xue." Huangfu Shaozong greeted him familiarly, "This is the state religion Suzaku Reverend. Starting tomorrow, you will be our general and commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. Today, I'm here to recognize the camp and wish everyone a happy new year. Oh, by the way, you should be very familiar with me, Reverend? I remember that you used to be under the command of Suzaku Reverend..."
Zhuque stared at Xue Canghai with a half-smile in his eyes: "Master Xue, how are you?"
Xue Canghai dropped the wine bowl he had just taken back again.
Just now, who said that I was going to meet her with my head held high, and now I am her boss in the blink of an eye? I am just bragging, why do you think that…
Actually, Zhao Changhe's spirit had not left yet. He was hiding aside and looking at Suzaku at this moment, his eyes full of amazement.
She actually has her own armor, she is indeed from a military family. Suzaku, wearing a silver soft armor and a fiery red cape, is so handsome... She even has a gun in her hand. This is the first time Zhao Changhe has seen Suzaku with a weapon in her hand. That is the battlefield bloodline of the tiger girl from the military family that has been buried for thirty years, and it has begun to awaken today.
Zhuque also glanced at the direction where Zhao Changhe was and smiled slightly.
Others can't see him, but how can Suzaku not see him? The little man can actually descend from the sky...
The adulterous husband and wife stared at each other from a distance. Zhao Changhe blinked his eyes and made a lip-popping gesture. Zhuque frowned and Zhao Changhe ran away.
This experience is really interesting, and you can also have an affair secretly.
It's a pity that there are too many people here, and I don't want to cause trouble for Zhuque's first day of inspecting the military camp, so forget it.
A simple test showed that the Yin Spirit leaving the body was a relatively dangerous state. I could feel the feeling of my defense being zeroed. The physical body was essentially a spiritual armor. If I had the protection of the spirit platform, it would be difficult for others to attack me. But if I ran out naked, it would be extremely dangerous. Although it seemed that physical attacks could not harm the Yin Spirit, which opponent nowadays did not know the art of the spirit? Once the spirit was injured, the injury would be much more serious than physical injury.
Therefore, when the immortal god was beaten by Lao Xia and his soul exploded, judging from the physical feeling, it was much harder to bear than the physical injury, and he should not have recovered until now. This is probably the reason why Bo'e was at a disadvantage in the struggle with Timur. In the competition between military power and religious power, Bo'e was backed by the gods and had a high status in the grassland. When mediating conflicts between various tribes, Timur, who had hundreds of thousands of troops, had to give face. Now that the gods are in hiding to heal their wounds and can't stand on the stage, Bo'e's words are not as loud as before.
This is also one of the main reasons why everyone is planning to take the initiative to march north. The grassland is not as stable as before, so there will be no movement in the short term. Once the demon god Changsheng Tianshen, who is obviously at the second level of the realm of control, is completely revived, the trouble will be much greater.
By the way, that was a split soul, is this the difference between the first and second levels of the realm of control? I can achieve the separation of the Yin spirit from the body, but I can never achieve the split soul for two purposes. If I go from a single core to multiple cores, is that a breakthrough to the second level? If I go from multiple cores to infinite transformation, is that the third level of the blind man
The path to gods and demons is clear.
Zhao Changhe's mind moved again, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived at the main hall of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
Tang Wanzhuang was instructing his subordinates to distribute the previously compiled list and ask them to search one by one. Baoqin was copying a book in the corner with a sniffle.
Zhao Changhe leaned over to take a look. He saw that the person he was copying was The West Chamber. It seemed like he was copying it for the second time. It seemed like he was being punished to copy it. He didn't know how many times he had been punished to do so.
Zhao Changhe looked a little strange, and roughly realized what this meant.
Although Wanzhuang deliberately gave Baoqin the opportunity, from another perspective, Baoqin was using this book to force the emperor to abdicate, "openly competing with the young lady for the son-in-law"... Wanzhuang helped her, but secretly punished the little girl. You love to read The West Chamber, right? Copy it ten times!
It's fun to be in this state of mind and watch everyone doing things beyond what you can see.
Seeing Wanzhuang was working and people coming and going in the hall, Zhao Changhe did not continue to disturb her. When he thought about it again, he had already arrived at the imperial study.
Xia Chichi was also working at her desk. Unlike Tang Wanzhuang who was doing specific work, she was reviewing memorials, reading financial reports, thinking about personnel matters in the court, and paying attention to the upcoming spring examination.
It is said that Xia Chichi and Tang Wanzhuang are more like from the same country now, of course they are...
The emperor and his ministers are united in their efforts for the country.
Zhao Changhe showed up: "It's the first day of the new year, I just had dinner... I still need to rest."
Xia Chichi looked up in astonishment and rubbed his eyes: "Am I too tired and hallucinating?"
"No, I just learned your father's divine descent method." Zhao Changhe walked forward and arched his buttocks to signal Xia Chichi to move a little. Xia Chichi also moved a little, watching Zhao Changhe sit down next to her, holding her waist and squeezing into a chair.
Zhao Changhe flipped through the various documents on the table and sighed, "Well, things are not that urgent, so what's wrong with giving yourself a day off. Besides, there are some matters that are not left unattended in the court. For example, for things like the Spring Examination, let them make arrangements and then look at the report. This is still a draft, why are you meddling in so much detail from the beginning?"
Xia Chichi said: "After all, this is our first scientific expedition for civilians. We have no experience, so we all came here by discussion... I don't personally take care of other things in such detail."
Having said that, she finally stopped paying attention to the things on the table. She curled her lips and leaned into Zhao Changhe's arms: "Besides, there are a bunch of vixens surrounding me. What can I do? I might as well get back to work."
"I'm here to have an affair with you..."
"I am the emperor, do I want to have an affair?"
Zhao Changhe kissed her earlobe and asked, "Do you want it?"
Xia Chichi panted, and her voice became soft: "I want..."
Zhao Changhe continued to kiss and caress with his hands.
Xia Chichi leaned comfortably in his arms, humming, "I feel happy when I think about the fact that you ran away from Yue Hongling to steal. It's okay for other vixens, but Yue Hongling claims to be an upright knight, and she doesn't even blush when she mixes with a group of women as a harem. It's so natural."
"Being decent doesn't mean being old-fashioned. Hong Ling is free and easy. She doesn't really care about these things. She thinks more about her swordsmanship. Those who often listen in without saying a word are also comprehending the swordsmanship. You don't have to be so hostile to her."
"Who is more hostile to whom? She pointed her sword at me, but I never pointed it at her."
"In the end, it's all just the same old things. You two are both free and easy-going people, why do you keep remembering these things to no end?"
"Because... that was the first time since we could remember that we were competing with other women for a man..." Xia Chichi was panting a little from his caress: "You, your spiritual body, can you do it? I want it."
Zhao Changhe felt embarrassed. He couldn't because his soul didn't have that ability.
But there is a way. If both parties have spiritual communication, then it is possible, just like the last time when I accidentally had spiritual communication with Yue Hongling and Huangfu Qing.
His figure slowly faded away and entered Xia Chichi's spiritual platform: "You haven't broken through yet, let me see if I can help you."
In Xia Chichi's sea of consciousness, a young girl was sitting there with her knees hugged, blinking her eyes as she looked at the big man who broke in.
As the blind man watched, he suddenly got goose bumps all over his body.
