Chapter 747: The reputation will become unfortunate
“You dead pig head.”
In the secret room, Huangfu Qing's whole body was exuding the pink color of satisfaction. The little bird was leaning against the pig's head, feeling weak but extremely satisfied.
Before in the capital, I was either with the dead tortoise or the rebellious villain. I hadn't been alone with him for a long time. I didn't expect that I fell in love with him the first time I came to Chang'an. It was so refreshing.
It is said that it was Tang Wanzhuang who suggested that he come, right? You are sensible! When I look back, I will reward her with a picture of a pig on her doorstep, so that she can miss her.
Hmm, by the way... Thinking back to those days, when that guy lived across from me, was there a scene like this? It's been so long ago that I can't remember... Later, the Tang family moved to the capital on a large scale. When there were more people, the house across the street couldn't be accommodated, so they moved out. When the house across the street was resold, the price doubled, which was a huge profit.
Comparing the relationship today, it is like the yellowed ancient calligraphy and painting, they are all traces worth recalling.
In fact, the reason why she was anxious for love was not simply because she was hungry, but because she had completely broken through the realm of imperialism and hoped to share her insights with her lover through dual cultivation. Huangfu Qing could tell that Zhao Changhe was currently stuck on the edge of the Imperial Realm with only a layer of window paper missing. From the perspective of "Conquering the Galaxy", his Southern Vermilion Bird's intention was a very overlapping reference for him. He wanted to make a It's possible to directly help him break the barrier.
The Jiuyou just now was so terrifying. Even the three people who surrounded her couldn't feel the slightest weakness in her. It felt like the other party withdrew because they didn't want to fight. If the fight continued, it felt like there was a high chance that our side wouldn't be able to defeat her... So what level is that? ? Second level of imperial realm, early stage? Probably pretty much the same.
In this situation, it would be much better if Zhao Changhe could break through the defense in time. At least he should have a chance to win the siege.
In the end, it was a bit dreamy to expect to break through the imperial defense in one double cultivation, and the breakthrough was still not successful. On the contrary, Zhao Changhe instilled a lot of things in her, such as wind, energy, cause and effect, life and death... Of course, not everything instilled in her is useful. If it is not in line with the way, it is not in line with the way. Second, it was the meaning of Yin Fire and life and death that Suzaku benefited a lot from.
She is the emperor who broke through this layer! Now Zhao Changhe interpreted it from another angle, which confirmed her too much. If you want to achieve perfection in the first level of imperial realm, you will probably have to understand all aspects of these angles of life and death. At that time, you should be able to try the second level. Of course, it's still early, and Zhao Changhe gave him the most needed introduction.
Huangfu Qing was a little speechless in her heart. I came to help you. Why did you fill me up without saying a word? In every sense...
What a dead pig head.
Zhutou seemed to be comprehending something, and after a while he smiled: "You came at the right time. I always feel that your nature is exactly the kind that can exert the greatest restraint or hedge against Jiuyou. I share your intention, next time If I fight again, I might be able to play better.”
Huangfu Qing said: "What's the use of looking good? If you can't break the imperial guard, there will be no fundamental change. Yuxu will not follow you to protect him every day. Don't you go out in the future?"
Zhao Changhe laughed: "Jiuyou doesn't know who I am. I still think I am a Buddhist disciple named Qin Jiu. I just change my clothes and my face and go out. Where will she find me?"
Huangfu Qing: "...Yes."
"On the other hand, since you have appeared in Chang'an, as long as the princes of Chang'an are not stupid, they will now search the city for the 'Venerable Suzaku of the Pseudo-Chinese Demon Sect'. What are your plans now? Also change your appearance?"
"My disguise is probably of no use. The auras of Jiuyou and I are somewhat attracted to each other. As long as we are nearby, we can all sense it... It's strange to say that with Jiuyou's ability, he can't sense your blood evil power? How did you hide it?"
This is about blind man... Zhao Changhe feels that blind man has never been so cautious as this time, and it seems that he really cares about Jiuyou. It is true that Jiuyou is very strong, and her abilities have only revealed the tip of the iceberg just now. First she underestimated the enemy, and then she retreated temporarily as if she didn't want to make a fuss. I don't know how terrifying it would be if she used her full strength... But Zhao Changhe felt The blind man's concern may not be all because of his strength, but what about his appearance...
And he is very silent and has not spoken yet. You took advantage of Hong Ling's affection to bully her, but why didn't she keep quiet when it was Suzaku's turn? Is it because Hong Ling was easy to bully? Apparently it was just because he didn’t want to talk more about Jiuyou.
Zhao Changhe thought for a while: "Now I wonder if she can scan and detect your breath everywhere with her consciousness. If she can do this, it will be useless wherever you hide, but it may expose our base."
Huangfu Qing said: "What should we do? Should I turn around and leave Chang'an? I won't do that."
Zhao Changhe grinned: "Of course it doesn't have to be like this. As the mother of the Han Dynasty..."
"What kind of mother!" Huangfu Qing pinched him fiercely: "It's the Queen Mother, and this has not been made public yet!"
"It doesn't matter if it's open or not now. The Four Symbols Sect doesn't act secretly like it did in the early years. Just say that Huangfu Qing is Suzaku and stop wearing a mask from now on. What can others do? Let's wear masks on the bed to make it more interesting. …”
"Get out." Huangfu Qing said angrily: "When I was in Kunlun under the identity of Huangfu Qing, Yuxu knew that we were together. If I were to say that I was Zhuque again, wouldn't Yuxu know that we were master and disciple competing for husband..."
Zhao Changhe was silent, and then pointed out: "Huangfu Qing's identity is the Queen Mother, which is known to the whole world. They already know about mother and daughter... ouch..."
Huangfu Qing was so angry that he kicked him out of bed: "I think if the big man can't conquer all places, the main reason is that your reputation has been ruined! What a dirty man!"
Zhao Changhe put his hands on his hands and hovered beside the bed, remaining calm and silent.
Huangfuqing looked at him suspended in amazement, with a stinking face and said nothing.
"Ahem." Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "What I want to say is that you can openly send an envoy as a representative of the Han Dynasty. As an official envoy, even if they want to harm you, it will be difficult for them to do it in public and want to kill you. It would be better not to cause a commotion and besiege the whole city, that would be safer. Of course, don’t take off the mask. There is no reason for the Queen Mother to send an envoy, so let’s count it as if the Venerable of the State Religion is sent as an envoy. By the way, you can also plant Yuxu, so that People think he has something to do with us."
Huangfu Qing's eyes lit up: "That makes sense. Then I will leave the city now and enter the city as an official envoy."
“Find a reason for sending an envoy.”
“随便啦。”皇甫情玉手一挥：“就替咱家赵王求娶他们李家小姐好不好？意思就是你不送女儿给我们家赵王玩，我们就揍你。”
With the brain circuits of you women, you can only think of this kind of reason... Zhao Changhe rolled his eyes. A serious mission and marriage, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, is indeed a reason, but if you think about it with your buttocks, you will know the second part of the sentence. What will be the result? This is just to cause trouble.
It doesn’t matter anymore, what we want is to cause trouble. Real marriage is troublesome. Who would marry a force that colludes with the barbarians? The foundation of our foothold will be lost.
…
Huangfuqing got dressed and left the city, taking with him a few followers to pretend to be followers. If he was going on a formal mission, someone would have to deliver his credentials first.
Zhao Changhe did not put on any other makeup, he still pretended to be Qin Jiu, and quietly left the Sixiang Sect secret place at night.
What he wanted to meet this time was Li Ba, a gambling den.
Sure enough, after entering the gambling house, it was still bustling with people gambling all night long. And Li Ba didn't sleep either, still watching the scene.
Seeing "Qin Jiu" come in, Li Ba's eyes lit up and he greeted him with a smile: "Didn't this young master go out to play with Mr. Dai?"
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "He plays his game, and I play mine."
Li Ba’s eyes flickered and he chuckled: "What do you want to play? Could it be me?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Look at our names being so similar, do Li Ba and Qin Jiu look like brothers and sisters?"
“Sisters and sisters are the right ones.” Li Ba chuckled and said, “But there are not many people who are literate in the world. It is too common for people to name their children with numbers. If that were the case, we would have too many brothers and sisters.”
"Yes." Zhao Changhe also laughed: "I traveled around the world and met many similar brothers, Chen Yi, Yuan San, Li Si, Sha Qi..."
Li Ba's smile disappeared.
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Add in you and me eight and nine, you see, except for the second and sixth children, they don't sound good. Is there still a five missing? Does the eighth mother know where the five is?"
Li Ba said calmly: "It's just a coincidence, why does it have to be five?"
Zhao Changhe said: "I just think Chang'an is so lively, it should be more uniform."
Li Ba looked him up and down for a long time, and suddenly said: "We can't get together. He can't come here, and he also has other important matters."
Zhao Changhe said: "Is it because he killed Li Gongsi that he can't come here?"
"Of course I want to ask, what are his other important tasks?" "Across the Hexi Corridor and cut off the Guanlong Road." Li Ba smiled brightly: "He is a horse bandit, isn't he?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Then you still dare to use such a typical name here, risk your life?"
"I was originally a branch of the Li family, and I was called this name. You are stupid. I told you that there are people named after numbers everywhere in the world. How can there be anyone who would just look at him and think he is Ying Wu?" Li Baniang said. Looking at him like a fool: "You just happened to meet a dead rat. If I were a member of the Li family, I would arrest you now."
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "It's not like I met a dead rat. It's too obvious that the Eighth Lady is pretending to be the Young Master, and she looks like an intelligence collector."
Li Baniang knew that her actions were indeed easy to judge in the eyes of interested people, so she was too lazy to talk to him about it and whispered: "If you are from Zhao Changhe, then please convey that Fifth Brother and King Zhao have always been allies. This relationship has never changed. The reason why it is a bit embarrassing now is because it involves killing Xia Chichi's father... It is said that Zhuque was also involved in this battle, but their relationship is different. Zhuque is Xia Chichi's master, and his family talks behind closed doors. It should be done, but it’s a little embarrassing for us outsiders.”
Zhao Changhe nodded: "Understood."
Li Baniang said: "What the fifth brother means, if the Han Dynasty doesn't care about this, then we are still allies. The fifth brother is not involved in politics at all, and it has nothing to do with who controls the world. He is just a bandit, and he runs a gambling house. In order to collect information about the secret realm, it has nothing to do with other things. If he talks about his inclination, of course he is leaning towards the big man. To put it bluntly, he has been investing in King Zhao from the beginning. He really wants to see Zhao Daixia, and it seems to be similar now. …What’s more, he has now killed Mr. Li, has become a mortal enemy of the Li family, and is a natural ally with the Han Dynasty.”
Zhao Changhe said: "This is why I came here to get straight to the point. Our relationship does not need to be too secretive. Banniang can also convey to Fifth Master that the big man does not care about the past, and everyone is still ally."
Speaking, he took out a jade tablet to prove his identity.
Li Baniang breathed a sigh of relief and showed a cheerful smile again: "That's good. In fact, in the current situation, everyone is naturally cooperating without communication. Don't look at the prosperity of Chang'an now. A large part of it is the Silk Road, which is now being The fifth brother intercepted them all over the place, which gave Chang'an a headache. The most controversial issue in the Chang'an court now is whether to advance eastward to Hangu first, or to go west out of Yumen first, and then discuss the Central Plains after clearing out the horse bandits."
Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "I see. The horse bandits are not easy to sweep away. They are truly elusive. The Li family's dominance has not yet reached this level."
"But correspondingly, horse bandits are just horse bandits. They can only be used to harass trade routes and do not have much ability to capture cities and territories. Therefore, it is impossible to expect a flanking attack from both sides." Li Baniang said: "What the Fifth Master means, if the big man If we want to fight a protracted war with Guan Long, we might have an advantage."
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Let's talk about that for now. I came here to see if there is any news worthy of attention from Banniang, especially whether the Fifth Master himself is here... Since he is not here, I'd better ask Chang'an special circumstances.”
"There is only one special situation." Li Ba said solemnly: "Don't think that the Li family does not have much high-end force. In fact, it is very strong... They welcomed back a 'young lady' from nowhere a few days ago. I looked at that She doesn’t look like a young lady, it’s not an exaggeration to say she is an ancestor, and the entire Li family obeys her. The strength of this young lady… Anyway, my scalp goes numb when I look at her.”
“Welcome back outside?”
"Well, I told you that I am a distant relative of the Li family. I have never seen this cousin in all these years, so I became Miss Li for no reason."
Jiuyou's figure immediately appeared in Zhao Changhe's heart. Could it be her?
If it were her, with her ability to control people's hearts, or her ability to wake up ancestors from the ground, of course she could be the Miss Li family or the ancestor at any time.
Sure enough, the various games played by the Li family may not be a tightrope walk. They have their own confidence. In other words, the Li family is just the earthly agent of Jiuyou.
Hmm, wait a minute... Zhao Changhe asked cautiously: "Is there any other young lady in the Li family? The unmarried kind."
Li Ba shook his head: "As for the direct descendants, all of them are married, and this is the only one who has not left the cabinet."
Zhao Changhe's expression became very strange.
Huangfuqing mentioned it casually, obviously not thinking about how many of her daughters were unmarried. If this was the case, was she asking the Li family to marry Jiuyou for herself?
This is a big deal.
But it was obviously too late to stop him. Just as he was contacting Li Baniang at the gambling house, it was already getting light, and a fast horse arrived in Chang'an: "I am the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and I have been ordered to deliver my credentials!"
Changan was shaken.
Li Boping, the head of the Li family, personally received the envoy in the main hall. He opened his credentials and took a look, and his face turned green.
The certificate of credence clearly states: "...the Venerable Suzaku of the Four Elephants Sect is specially sent to Chang'an and will arrive in a few days. I want to marry a young lady from the Li family and befriend the Qin and Jin Dynasties in order to end the war and conspire to fight against the Hu."
Li Boping made everyone stupid.
Once this letter of national identity is passed on, the reputation of the big man will be exhausted. Immediately the whole world will know how much the big man has a big picture view. He should suspend internal wars and work together to deal with the outside world. This man has racked up all the people's hearts and wants to roast the Li family on the fire. The big man is willing to stop fighting and work together with the outside world, what about you? You are still hooking up with the barbarians, right? There are still a bunch of barbarians in Chang'an City, right? How will you respond?
The most irritating thing is that Li Boping dares to bet that Dahan's credentials are definitely not sincere. If Suzaku really comes, the lion will definitely open his mouth and force himself to refuse, giving up the reputation of "refuse to cooperate" and "willing to be a lackey of barbarians". Give them a tight squeeze.
Looking at the seal on the certificate of credence, it might even be carved by someone on the spot. But as long as Suzaku is here, the presence of the person is the proof, and there is no point in raising the issue of the certificate of credence.
Forget it. If there really is a young lady in the family, it doesn't seem to be a big deal just to be a victim and get married directly. As long as the public opinion is vague, it will be over. As for whether to fight or not, who cares?
The question is, is the one in my family a young lady?
That's the ancestor!
You want to **** my ancestors?
Li Boping quickly went to his back house and reported to Jiuyou with sweating profusely.
Jiuyou’s snow-white face turned ashen.
In the void, there was a blind man rolling in the clouds with laughter: "You also have today. Didn't anyone remind you not to get close to Zhao Changhe, the reputation will become unfortunate."
Jiuyou didn’t hear the blind man’s complaints, so naturally he couldn’t respond. However, when the blind man said this, she forgot that the person closest to Zhao Changhe was herself, and she followed him longer and closer than anyone else in the world.
This is something to be said later. Zhao Changhe, who was talking to Li Baniang at the scene, did not know that the envoy delivering the credentials was already on the way. He was still trying to find out the news from Li Baniang: "Besides the special things about Miss Li, is there anything else? "
Li Baniang thought for a while: "A few days ago, the Hu people made a sudden attack on the capital and were ambushed. After that, it was quiet for a while. The Li family also took this opportunity to support Buddhism and get rid of the control of the Hu people. But the Hu people have recently returned. He started to become domineering. If I guessed correctly, it was Bo E who secretly entered Chang'an, and the Hu people in Chang'an began to have a backbone. If you have any plans to assassinate the Hu people generals, I suggest you shelve them in case the so-called assassination happens. Boy, that's no joke."
Early in the morning, Yue Fenghua knocked on the door of his apprentice's guest house: "Hong Ling, there is news from the Hu people."
“Squeak~” The courtyard door opened. Yue Hongling, who had been meditating all night, looked at the rising sun refreshed and said with a smile, “Where is it?”
“On Zhuque Street, Honglu Temple.”
Yue Hongling smiled slightly. Do we need to say that there are barbarians in Honglu Temple?
There are only two reasons why there are such nonsense. One is that after a night of preparation, the barbarians there have evacuated; the other is that a dragnet has been set up, just waiting for her, Yue Hongling, to get through it.
"I understand." Yue Hongling strode away: "Master, please don't get involved in this. Disciple, go and see for yourself."
As soon as he entered Chang'an City, he immediately heard that the Han Dynasty was envoys.
Yue Hongling was startled and stood on the side of the road watching. Soon she saw Suzaku wearing a firebird mask, a fiery red robe and several followers riding into the city.
This is the first time Yue Hongling has seen Suzaku.
As if sensing someone looking at her, Huangfuqing turned around and glanced at a pair of red-clad love rivals whose eyes met at the street corner, as if lightning flashed, and they were both confused and speechless.
