Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 804: Unfinished Fruit

Views:

This girl used to be reserved and shy about this matter and dared not express herself, waiting for her son-in-law to take it with resentment.

Since the last time she was stamped, she has obviously become more proactive and started to act like a demon... She didn't save the young lady when she was in trouble, and took the opportunity to seduce the son-in-law...

She didn't even notice there was a smiling turtle standing behind her, and she was teasing someone's husband in front of her.

Zhao Changhe thought it was really funny, and Sanniang almost laughed out loud.

Of course, Sanniang didn't bother to care about a little girl. She thought it was more fun to see her own idiot bullying Tang Wanzhuang.

Tang Wanzhuang's practice had been pulled away by Huangfu Qing, and she was still injured. How could she be a match for Huangfu Qing? She was pressed against a pillar and her Qi flow was blocked. The acupoints were deliberately not completely sealed, so that her hands and feet were still powerless to struggle. Her head turned this way and that, but she refused to be kissed. The way she struggled with her hairpins messy and her eyes unyielding was really beautiful.

Huangfu Qing was not in a hurry to really kiss her. He kissed her face wherever it turned, and even deliberately kissed her neck. Tang Wanzhuang was angry but helpless, and soon she even moaned.

At the same time, her maid was still flirting with the man, and the man unceremoniously hugged the little girl and bent down to cover her little mouth.

Who says she is sharp-tongued? She doesn't bite at all. She looks so cute when she opens her mouth obediently to welcome the man's demands. Her pretty face is flushed, and her eyes are rolling around to see the scene of the lady being bullied, for fear that the lady will find out.

Sanniang thought it was very interesting to see the master and servant being bitten together.

Tang Wanzhuang was panting and furious: "Huangfu Qing, you want to show off your power, and you really did it! Do you really think that without our support in the rear, you can do it alone on the front line? "

Huangfu Qing smiled and stroked her body with her jade hands: "What merit is there? I am just healing you, okay... Look how good I am to you..."

"What kind of injury do you need to treat? I think you have a mental illness and I need to help you heal it!"

"Okay, come on... As long as you can hold me down, you can heal me however you want..." Huangfu Qing kissed her fair neck: "Just like the day you tricked me into the riverbed for treatment."

Tang Wanzhuang was really helpless: "Okay, okay, I'm full of things and don't want to play with you... You are so powerful now, if you can contact Changhe, please help him, if something happens..."

Tang Wanzhuang had never shown such a sense of powerlessness and begging for mercy in front of Huangfu Qing, but Huangfu Qing was stunned: "What's the matter? Now is obviously a big deal, it's time to rest, why are you so worried? There are endless things to do, you have to relax and work hard, why do you frown every day?"

"Cui Wenjing reported that Cui Yuanyang is missing."

Huangfu Qing: “?”

Sanniang: “…”

Zhao Changhe: “!!”

Baoqin: “!!!”

It's over. It's really a long way off. My son-in-law will never think about anything else.

As expected, the son-in-law who was happily chewing the maid stood up straight in an instant: "What's going on?"

Tang Wanzhuang: “?”

She pushed Huangfu Qing angrily and said, "Zhao Changhe, you came but didn't save me. You just let her eat me!"

"..." You've both cuddled together in bed before, so what could possibly happen...

Zhao Changhe didn't answer this, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Yangyang?"

Tang Wanzhuang said: "Cui Wenjing said that Yangyang's cultivation increased dramatically, and he killed Huangyang in one blow, and then left with Jiuyou. The name Huangyang shouted before his death was 'Piaomiao'."

Zhao Changhe looked very ugly.

I knew that Yangyang was the reincarnation of Piaomiao. But the blind man once said that it would not be easy to be "possessed" in this situation, and it would be difficult to even wake up. After all, the Qinghe Sword was only one of the four swords, and the possibility of reviving the whole picture with just such a medium was indeed low. I agreed with this point at the time.

In fact, it was useless to admit it or not. There was no way for me to stop it at that time, unless I didn't rebuild Qinghe at that time, but the situation at that time made it unlikely to make such a choice.

Now it seems that the blind man didn't tell the truth at that time...

The most difficult part is that the book on troubled times did not mention this incident. Regarding the Battle of Hangu, it only emphasized that Li Boping and Cui Wenjing fought back and forth and finally reached a truce, without even mentioning Huang Huang.

If I hadn't come back early and was still resting and recuperating in Langjuxu Mountain, I don't know how many days it would take for the message from here to be received.

"What are you doing? I told you to keep quiet recently, so I'm hiding this from me, right?" Zhao Changhe shouted angrily in his heart, "Why are you hiding such an important thing from me?"

The blind man still did not respond.

Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly understood.

It seems that the inability to contact the blind woman this time is not a short-term loss of contact like before... She seems to have really left me, or at least decided not to talk to me for a long time.

blocked.

If all nine pages of the Heavenly Book are needed, then the last page that the blind man needs is with Jiuyou. Piaomiao followed Jiuyou, and he would fight back no matter what. No matter if he died at Jiuyou's hands or Jiuyou was defeated by him, the nine pages were all complete.

For a blind person, this is all she needs

But this was not right, she could have just pretended nothing had happened, and defeated Jiuyou together with me, wouldn't she have been able to collect all nine pages smoothly? Why did she create such a distance between herself and me, adding to the possibility of misfortune

Unless her real purpose is not entirely to collect the Heavenly Book, she has other ideas... So the collection of the Pages of Truth and Illusion seems to have reached the most critical node for the blind man, and he can start to make the final link in the layout

The most infuriating thing is that even if I throw away the pages of the Heavenly Book, it will be useless. No matter where I throw them, the blind man can easily retrieve them. If I throw them to other strong men, there will be no strong men who will threaten me. It will hurt anyone I give them to.

Before he knew it, the blind man had cleared all the roads, leaving only one path to take.

Enter Kunlun and see the Nine Netherworlds.

"You are doing this kind of thing that you think is the final boss... You think your plan is a destiny for me, right..." Zhao Changhe whispered to himself: "But don't capsize, Ms. Ye Di..."

Huangfu Qing and Sanniang narrowed their eyes at the same time.

"Don't worry." Zhao Changhe said calmly, "Nothing will happen to Yangyang, and I can conclude that Piaomiao and Yangyang are two separate entities. So if I want to save Yangyang, I must kill Piaomiao. Someone wants me to do this. If she asked me to kill Piaomiao directly, I would not do it for no reason. Piaomiao is a good person... But for Yangyang, I have no choice but to do this."

Tang Wanzhuang frowned and asked, "Since someone needs you to kill Piaomiao... then if Piaomiao devours Yangyang, will you kill Piaomiao to avenge Yangyang?"

"If Piao Miao devours Yang Yang, then she will definitely have a part of Yang Yang's memory, hold Yang Yang's body, and may have a crush on me. Can I do something to such a being... I don't even know if I can do it, what if I can't... She knows me very well and won't make such a plan. So the only possibility is that Piao Miao has nothing to do with me, and I will do it."

Zhao Changhe paused here and whispered to himself, "It stands to reason that time cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed any longer, no one will know whether Piao Miao will succeed in swallowing Yang Yang. She is not afraid that I will not do my best and do it as soon as possible. But since it needs to be fast, why doesn't she just put all the blame on Jiu You like before and work with me to finish this quickly? She obviously doesn't need to irritate me so much, but she has to make herself uncomfortable? Does she want it to be fast or slow... or is she just... deliberately hoping that I hate her?"

Everyone looked at each other.

This entanglement sounds... How familiar are you and her? To this extent

Tang Wanzhuang, who was originally worried, now calmed down a lot: "I thought it was an emergency, so I was worried. But since it is a trap deliberately dug by others, we can't jump in so hastily."

Zhao Changhe asked: "What do you think?"

Tang Wanzhuang asked: "If we want to do it, where should we go? Chang'an?"

"It's most likely Kunlun... The key issue now is that Kunlun is thousands of miles long and wide, and there's more to it than just Yuxu Peak. Hong Ling has been there before, and after several months, he's only explored the tip of the iceberg. How can we find Piaomiao as quickly as possible?"

Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "It's actually quite easy to find a place... At least it's easy to find Jiuyou."

Zhao Changhe's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"

"Even though the Li family has been abandoned by both Buddhism and Taoism and has lost the foreign aid of the Hu people, they still seem to be as confident as us. Is it because Jiuyou is standing behind them?"

"good."

"Since Jiuyou wants to support the Li family, it means she needs it and will not let the Li family perish easily, right?" Tang Wanzhuang said, "You can use the underground sky to descend thousands of miles away, and directly descend to Li Boping's palace to kill him. Jiuyou has to come out to save him, isn't that what we have seen?" Zhao Changhe sighed, "That makes sense."

The most frightening thing about everything is not knowing the root cause, and being confused. It would be fine if I could meet Jiuyou. As long as I could communicate with him, I would be able to find out the thoughts of both parties and make a decision calmly.

Zhao Changhe flew out without saying a word and headed straight for the palace: "Come on, let's discuss it on the spot after we get in touch."

Everyone moved quickly and headed straight for the palace.

Baoqin sniffled, hugged her knees and sat on the ground, she burst into tears: "What Yedi, you bad guy, don't let me see you, even if I have to beat you to death, I will scold you so badly that your mother won't recognize you! Wuuuuu, if you delay it for another two years, Baoqin will become an old woman..."

Zhao Changhe cannot descend to every corner, but with the help of the underground sky, he can basically cover most of it.

Everyone hurried to the underground of the Taimiao. Zhao Changhe put his hand to the sky, and his spiritual sense easily found the location of Li Boping's palace and descended instantly.

… …

Li Boping was also having a headache at this time.

Just as Tang Wanzhuang said, Buddhism and Taoism abandoned him, and now the foreign aid of the Hu people has also been gone. The Silk Road in the west was robbed by horse bandits, and there has been no traffic for a long time. The soldiers of the Shenhuang Sect in the south entered Hanzhong, and although they were beaten back, they looked like they could come back at any time. After all, the elite troops of the Shenhuang Sect actually went to the outside of the Great Wall, and this place was just used to divert them and prevent them from attacking Hangu with all their strength.

The Han Dynasty won a great victory this time, and the casualties were not great, only the money and food were consumed. But after conquering the grassland king's court, the bonus obtained was unknown, whether it was population, gold, silver, cattle and sheep. Once they had a short rest and digested the war bonus obtained from this northern expedition, how could they fight westward again

With Batu in the north, Shenhuang Sect in the south, and Ying Wu in the west, it's a trapped situation. I'm afraid that even without the Han Dynasty taking action, he can declare the extinction of the country.

Li Boping is ambitious, but he is not a fool who does not know the current situation. He has already considered surrendering directly to avoid losing his position as a duke. The tribes in Guanlong are not fools. I don’t know how many people are now secretly colluding with the Han Dynasty... If I drag it on, I am afraid that my head will be on Xia Chichi’s desk when I wake up tomorrow...

However, the ancestors above were pressuring her not to surrender, so who else could surrender? They used secret methods to elevate you to the third level of secret treasure, letting you spy on them, in order to make you surrender

Of course, subconsciously, he also hoped that his ancestors would help kill Zhao Changhe and others, so that he would not be without a chance.

After all, judging from the list of troubled times, the ancestor seems to be the second demon god. I don’t know if Zhao Changhe and his people can be a match for the ancestor if they are tied together.

Judging from the surname "Ye", it is equivalent to the Chaos List clearly stating that this is not your ancestor... But it doesn't matter, if she says it is, then it is.

In short, his mind was wavering and he couldn't make a decision. At this time, Wei Changming asked for a private meeting.

"Changming, what's your purpose in coming here?" Li Boping gestured to Wei Changming to drink tea, and was on guard in his heart.

Wei Changming was not an honest person either. On the surface, he stood by me, but secretly, he had established a relationship with Luoxia Villa, which was equivalent to investing in Yue Hongling. After being discovered by me, in order to show that he had no ulterior motives, he specially introduced the young master of Luoxia Villa to the Li family for marriage, which cleared my doubts.

But with the way current affairs are changing, what evil ideas could Wei Changming have in mind

But Wei Changming came closer and whispered, "King Qin, do you know that after this battle, many families are not honest?"

Li Boping thought to himself, "Aren't you? You actually told me this..." Then he said, "I know the answer."

"The forces of each family are complicated. If we act rashly, we will suffer setbacks. Does the King of Qin have any plan to break the impasse?"

Li Boping wanted to test the waters, so he asked, "Some people even urged me to surrender... What do you think, Changming?"

Wei Changming immediately said, "Everyone else can surrender, except the King of Qin. Don't you see that Cui Wenjing not only surrendered but also gave away his daughter, but he only got a nominal title of marquis. The entire Cui family now has only one Cui Yuanyong serving in the army, and he started as a middle-level general. The Qinghe Cui family is no longer as glorious as before. Yang Jingxiu surrendered and is now old and in the countryside. No one in the Yang family is involved in politics, and they have retired from the world. You should know that Yang Jingxiu has an old relationship with Zhao Changhe, but he can only end up like this. No matter how good the King of Qin's ending is, can it be better than Yang Jingxiu's? You are not like Cui Wenjing who married his daughter. When the time comes, he can just make up an excuse to kill you. Where can the King of Qin go to appeal for justice..."

Li Boping glanced at Wei Changming and said with a smile: "Changming is a truly loyal minister."

Wei Changming stamped his feet: "Don't mention it. The King of Qin also knows that I was on good terms with Yue Fenghua of Luoxia Mountain Villa at that time, and my original intention was indeed to make friends with Yue Hongling. Who would have thought that Yue Fenghua would corrupt faster than anyone else, and in the end, the master and the disciple turned against each other. How much of his corruption will Yue Hongling blame on me?"

Li Boping smiled. It was true... Wei Changming lost more than he gained. Yue Hongling would only feel disgusted with him. He was truly a grasshopper tied to the same rope as herself.

When Wei Changming saw his smile, he also laughed in his heart.

If you surrendered on your own initiative, where would my contribution be? Wouldn't the friendship I had with Yue Hongling be in vain? Of course, it was you who resisted stubbornly, and I came to cooperate with Yue Hongling from inside and outside, that would be my great contribution, right

Li Boping sighed and asked in a low voice: "Now that Zhao Changhe has conquered the northern border, Guanlong is in a state of panic. What can Changming teach me?"

Wei Changming stroked his beard and said, "In fact, the Suzaku envoy came before and made up an excuse to ask for the young lady's hand in marriage. Why don't the King of Qin continue this previous relationship..."

Li Boping was stunned: "Didn't you say that it would be useless for Cui Wenjing to marry off his daughter?"

"First, Cui Wenjing's situation is much better than Yang Jingxiu's. He won't be killed anyway, so it's a way out. Second, it's a delaying tactic to show weakness to the enemy. Now that the Han Dynasty has just settled in the northern frontier, the people want peace and don't like war. Once the King of Qin takes the initiative to show his intention to give in and stop the war, Zhao Changhe's action at this time will be against morality and the people will lose their support. In fact, the King of Qin can take this opportunity to march out of the Western Regions, kill Ying Wu, open up trade routes, and absorb the power of various tribes in the Western Regions. Isn't it wonderful?"

Li Boping's heart moved, it does make sense.

"Besides, Li Shentong is seriously injured, and Situ Xiao is still young. Bashu can't stand alone at the moment. If we can paralyze Zhao Changhe, and take advantage of their inattention, we can gather superior forces and march south to Bashu. Then the Qin and Han dynasties will be established!"

Li Boping nodded slightly: "Changming, please go now. Let me think about it for a while."

Wei Changming added: "In fact, the young lady's behavior at that time seemed to really like Zhao Changhe, and she might have been happy with this action."

Li Boping seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, it makes sense. If the ancestor really likes Zhao Changhe, he will just surrender at that time. As long as he does not lose the position of Cui Wenjing, he will not lose everything.

Wei Changming took his leave and left, laughing in his heart.

The name of that person has never been hidden, calling herself Jiuyou. According to the Chaos List, that is the second Demon God, Ye Jiuyou. If she is the second Demon God, it would be fine if she proposed to marry him, but you can propose? Who do you think you are

It doesn't matter if we outsiders raise this issue from the perspective of doing good for you. The decision is yours, not mine. But if you really go to him to raise this issue, it will definitely anger him, and he will think that you have your own ideas and are trying to take over. If she doesn't support you because of this, what else can you do? A demon god is not really your ancestor. If she can support you, why can't she support me

Let's take a step back. Even if Jiuyou really likes Zhao Changhe and goes along with him... when the Han and Guanlong fight, will she side with you or her husband? You are really not hers. If things go wrong, she might even help her husband to take off your head. Zhao Changhe will also thank me at that time.

Even if you don't mention it, you will trust me more and think that I am doing this for your own good. We can talk about it later if there is anything else.

No matter how things develop, it will be beneficial to me in every way. At most, the concubines in Zhao Changhe's harem will talk about me a little, but that's a big deal.

Li Boping was really thinking about this matter seriously, because this was indeed what Zhuque had mentioned seriously, so it was natural for him to respond. He was not stupid, and he did not really consider sending his ancestors away. He was considering adopting a daughter under his own name and finding the most beautiful one in Guanlong... Zhao Changhe was famous for his love of women, and he would definitely be affected by this delaying tactic.

Just as he was thinking this, a drop of blood suddenly appeared in front of him, and then grew rapidly and turned into the appearance of Zhao Changhe.

Li Boping's heart skipped a beat. Before he could even shout, a sharp hand knife chopped towards his throat, as if it was going to take his head off.

Of course, Zhao Changhe was just pretending. If he wanted Jiuyou to come and rescue them, he could meet Jiuyou and talk to him.

What was unexpected was that Jiuyou was busy with important matters at the moment and didn't pay any attention to this place and didn't know about it at all.

No one came to help him when he attacked with the sword. Li Boping was no match for Zhao Changhe. He rolled over in fear and blurted out, "I'll marry my daughter to you!"

The knife hovered over Li Boping's head, and Zhao Changhe's mouth twitched: "Where is Jiuyou?"

"That's right, it's Jiuyou, it's Jiuyou! Last time, the marriage proposal from the Suzaku Master was accepted by my Li family!"

The sound was so loud that it could be heard outside the palace by countless guards and palace servants.

Zhao Changhe stared at his own karma in amazement. He inexplicably continued the one that was about to disappear before - the marriage with Jiuyou. The world knew that the man's messenger proposed the marriage and the woman's parents agreed. The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were all in place... The "qi meridian trend" in the world's cognition was that Jiuyou from the Li family was Zhao Changhe's wife.

The lines became thicker and branched into many possibilities... This cause has not yet been exhausted, and there must be an effect.

A figure flashed, and Jiuyou suddenly appeared in a rage: "Who is trying to mess with my karma?"
