The sun and moon pass through the sky every day, and rivers flow through the earth forever, so that even the most powerful practitioners are helpless against the passage of time, so even the Buddha said, "The mind of the past cannot be attained." ”

In the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed, in order to arrange the great birthday of the ancestors, Zhao Gou, who is responsible for a considerable part of the work, is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, not that he has to do everything himself, but Zhao Gou has to personally inspect everything, and make a record of it, so as to make no mistakes.

On this day, the Twelfth Prince Zhao Gou had a rare night to dine in the palace, and then he saw the loyal butler crying and trembling and coming over with a list.

"Ah Zhong, what is the matter that makes you look like this. Laughed by the expression of the housekeeper Ah Zhong, Zhao Gou, who was in a good mood today, drank a glass of wine and said with a smile.

In his opinion, it won't be a big deal, because Ah Zhong only manages the purchase of the house, and at the top of the day, some money is overspent, this Ah Zhong has always made a big fuss.

"Lord, lord, look at it, you should take care of it quickly, otherwise this family will be ruined. While speaking, Zhao Zhong really cried, he was promoted to the rank of slave by Zhao Gou, and he has been diligent and conscientious over the years to run the entire palace as a home, and he is a loyal servant, so Zhao Gou saw him like this and took the list.

The expenditure of this month on it made the twelve princes Zhao Hook feel a little dizzy for a moment.

"More than 31 million, how can there be so much expenditure this month?" Although some martial arts masters have been selected to enrich the palace this month, the sum of 10 million inside and outside is the sky, how can it be more than three times more than he expected!

"Lord Wang, among the more than 30 million expenses, more than 20 million were spent by that Mr. Dugu, you said before that all the expenses of Mr. Dugu's martial arts cultivation are borne by the palace, so his accounts are not reviewed by the old slave. ”

"Then this is too exaggerated? It is impossible for him to consume 20 million worth of medicinal materials if he eats medicine as a meal every day!" Zhao Gou himself is a martial arts master in the legendary realm, so he knows very well that the carrying capacity of the human body has an upper limit, even if it is a legendary innate master, it is very different from ordinary people, and he cannot be brave and diligent in cultivating poison skills, otherwise the excessive virulence will destroy the balance, and it will cause death.

Therefore, when he knew that the "Blood Shura" Dugu Changqing was practicing poison skills, Zhao Gou said very generously: "Mr. Dugu's practice needs should be borne by the palace...... "Now there are still two days left in this month, and it has already borne more than 20 million, and the money of the palace is not blown by the wind, and the income in all aspects is high, but the expenditure is also large."

"Is this Mr. Dugu colluding with the medicine dealer behind his back?" With a roll of his eyes, Zhao Gou thought of a possibility, this evil demon from Yanhuang is not colluding with the medicine dealer to hack his own money.

"Your Highness, the old slave also suspected this, but those medicine merchants are all old relations of the palace, and besides, I have already checked the medicine residue, and it has indeed been boiled and cleaned, and it cannot be sold. Now that I think about it, it can only be that Mr. Dugu's exercises are too bizarre, and it can only be that the effect of the Nine Dragons Washing Beads is too good. As he spoke, Zhao Zhong handed out a piece of medicinal herbs that had been boiled white from his sleeve, if such medicinal materials could be reversed and then sold, it would be too much, Mr. Dugu spent some money, but it was true that he did not waste things.

"Alas...... Go down, go down first. He stroked his forehead with one hand, and waved his other hand to let Zhao Zhong retreat.

"Father-in-law, anyway, we have recovered some strength during this time, why don't Ying'er go and advise Mr. Dugu now, let him think about his father-in-law to some extent, and burn 20 million a month, which is too much. ”

"No...... At the beginning, I personally promised others to provide them with the needs of cultivation, but now that they have indeed used all the medicinal materials for cultivation, then there is no reason for me to go back on my word. ”

"But!"

"Okay, I have my own decision on this matter, Xiaoying, don't worry about it. "Zhao Gou is so reluctant, the main problem is of course not the credibility, but Dugu Changqing is already a legendary innate realm, and he is now cultivating poisonous skills.

In terms of the knowledge structure of the martial arts system, the Nanyue people are generally inferior to the people of the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom in all aspects, but there is one aspect that the warriors of the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom are generally inferior to the Nanyue warriors, that is, the cultivation of poison skills.

Nanyue is more or less a little poor mountain and bad water, the five poisonous miasma has everything, and the bone-eroding ecstasy is terrifying, but since he is here, if human beings want to live better, there is no reason not to make the best use of things, so the South Vietnamese poison system has always been very developed.

The more developed the poison gong system is, the more powerful the potential will be stimulated, and the narrower the road will be.

However, Dugu Changqing is already a legendary beginner now, and his current cultivation of poison skills is a second stimulation of potential and gathering potential to impact the legendary mid-level realm...... If this is successful, it will be worth the amount of money spent, as long as your own palace has it.

Therefore, when he took over the list of expenditures from Zhao Zhong, the twelve princes Zhao Hook felt pain in his heart, but he was faintly happy, and he cherished his talents.

(I have to think of a way to slow down Mr. Dugu's efficiency in burning money, but I can't show this meaning.) ）

Two days later, the Twelfth Prince Zhao Gou held a banquet in his busy schedule to personally entertain many new guests in the palace.

In the past month, in addition to Shi Yinghu/Dugu Changqing, the Twelfth Prince Zhao Gou has recruited two legendary masters and more than a dozen martial arts masters.

One of the two legendary masters is a Yanhuang person, named Kuaijian Xiao Fei, a very rare legendary scattered person, Xiao Fei seems to be because Shi Yinghu is also a Yanhuang person, so he has been very close since he entered the mansion, and some of the horse's head is Zhan.

It's just that Shi Yinghu is on a task, and he can't figure out his bottom line, so he just deals with him not far or close, showing the posture of a practice maniac.

Another legendary master is a native master of South Vietnam, surnamed Mei, is an older generation of martial arts masters, although he is also a legendary beginner realm, but he has accumulated skills for many years is very profound, and his true luck makes him proficient, and most of the martial arts masters in the mansion take this Mr. Mei as the leader.

Therefore, when the Twelfth Prince Zhao Hook feasted everyone, everyone was very clear in the seat.

Behind Mr. Mei Xun Mei, there is a black and oppressive native warrior of South Vietnam, a martial arts master, and Mei Xun is sitting in the forefront.

On the side of Shi Yinghu and Xiao Fei, there were two legendary warriors of the Yanhuang Ancient Kingdom sitting side by side in the front, and the people behind were sitting sparsely.

"Cut, if this is in the country, this group of people would dare to be more than us? I don't know how many times more disciples of my Kuaijian Sect are than them. ”

The national pride and disdain in Xiao Fei's words are easy to resonate with the Yanhuang people in a foreign land, but Shi Yinghu is a little wary of him, the more he says this kind of thing now, the more Shi Yinghu feels that he wants to deceive his trust and has no other purpose.

At the same time, Zhao Gou, who was sitting at the top of the banquet, was quite satisfied with the situation in front of him, the way of power is nothing more than the art of checks and balances, the people below are fighting and fighting, and they should be stable as the master, if they are huddled together and have nothing to ask for themselves, then they will not be able to sleep.

"This king has been busy with the affairs of the palace for a while, and he has neglected you a little, so this king will punish himself with a cup first. ”

"Alas, where are you talking about it, Lord Wang......" Mei Xun replied one after another, this old timer who gave birth to the heart of the dragon is really open-minded, and completely treats himself as an ordinary martial artist and holds Zhao Hook like this.

On the contrary, Shi Yinghu sat at the table drinking and eating, he only responded when Zhao Gou toasted, but he was not interested in participating in the response between Zhao Gou and Mei Xun at all.

Xiao Fei, who was beside Shi Yinghu, seemed a little unable to sit still, but when he saw that Shi Yinghu beside him had no reaction at all, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head to drink and eat.

"These days, the ancestors saw that the king was working official duties, so he specially gave three cups of strange wine, which has the effect of nourishing the blood and increasing internal strength. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Hook waved his hand, and a waiter held a wooden plate and a glass of red jade wine glass, and first walked up to Shi Yinghu with grace and lowered his head to offer wine.

Shi Yinghu took the wine glass, he lowered his head and sniffed it slightly, and sighed: "It is indeed a good wine!" After that, Shi Yinghu drank this wine in one go, which is not inferior to the famous product of the Tiger King Liquor, and even because of its high adaptability, it is even better in grade, and it has the effect of nourishing the blood and increasing internal strength, but it needs to be taken for a long time.

Shi Yinghu/Dugu Changqing enjoyed the first cup of strange wine, although Mei Xun was dissatisfied but there was nothing to disagree with, Mei Xun felt that even if he was not weaker than Red Eagle Qu Chong, he would not be inferior to the ghost swordsman, but he was not sure to kill these two people, but the guy in front of him successfully killed these two people...... What's more, he is a native of Yanhuang country, has strength, and has a background, and he will admit it when he is pressed and pinched by Mei Xun's nose.

The second waitress walked out, this time Mei Xun thought that the cup of strange wine must be his own, he almost raised his hands, however, the waitress flashed beside him and walked towards Xiao Fei, and in an instant, there was an obvious sound of discussion behind Mei Xun.

Even the fast sword Xiao Fei himself didn't expect that his ranking in the heart of the prince was even higher than Mei Xun.

After Xiao Fei took the wine with both hands, he quickly got up and saluted Zhao Gou, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation." With that, Xiao Fei drank all the wine in the cup.

The third waitress walked out, this time, she finally came to Mei Xun, Mei Xun, who breathed a sigh of relief, took the red jade wine glass, stood up like Xiao Fei to give a salute, and then drank the strange wine, until this moment Mei Xun behind the many native warriors of South Vietnam, calmed down.

Shi Yinghu watched everyone's attitude coldly, in fact, Zhao Hook's methods were very simple and direct, would the palace lack two maids?

Of course not.

However, Zhao Hook used such a simple wrist to not only suppress Mei Xun's prestige but also isolate himself and Xiao Fei, Mei Xun and Xiao Fei are all masters of the legendary realm, but they were disturbed by this small means, and they can only say that the more they care, the more they are tricked, many deceptions are actually not exquisite, but as long as the greed breeds in the hearts of the recipients, then even the obvious flaws cannot be seen.

............

One day after the banquet, Zhao Gou was in the office, and at this time, a tall man walked in.

Zhao Gou looked up, and saw that the man in front of him was black-haired and white-skinned, tall and straight, his eyes were cold and alienated, and he had a heroic atmosphere, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: The country in the center is indeed full of talents.

"Lord Wang, do you have something to look for me?"

"Oh, Mr. Dugu, are you still used to living in the mansion during this time, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"No, there are no trivial worries, well, thank you for the prince's care. ”

"Hey, where is it, Mr. Dugu is willing to deign to assist me, which is already a great honor for this king...... Alas. As he spoke, Zhao Gou sighed, revealing a sense of exhaustion.

"Lord Wang, isn't there anything to worry about?" Shi Yinghu knew very well in his heart how high he had been during this time, and Zhao Gou must have arranged things for himself this time, which could not only greatly reduce his burning speed, but also make up for his losses.

Sure enough, with Shi Yinghu's just right questioning, the drama came.

"Come to think of it, Mr. Dugu also knows that the defeat of this king on the front line some time ago, the great loss, the lost land, although the tide of strange beasts still fought back, but the elite warriors in the hands of this king have almost been lost. ”

"Now, the tide of strange beasts is about to stir again, and this king must stay in Beijing during this time......" Zheng Nian's birthday can almost be said to be the most important political event in South Vietnam, and at this time, it is far from the political center, and the loss is too great. But on the other hand, if it was attacked by the tide of strange beasts, Zhao Gou would not be able to afford this loss.

"During this time, it was extremely annoying for His Highness to take care of him, but with his life, Changqing had no excuse. "If you want to break into the upper echelons of South Vietnam, the necessary feats must always be established, not to mention killing alien beasts, this is a politically correct thing on this planet, no matter what you do, there is always nothing wrong with killing alien beasts, and you also need alien beasts to provide source energy to improve your professional level.

"Okay, Changqing will not live up to this king, and this king will never fail Changqing. As he spoke, Zhao Gou took out a jade seal and handed it to Shi Yinghu's hand.

This kind of thing similar to the ancient military talisman has almost disappeared in Yan and Huang countries, but it still exists in South Vietnam, which has always been proud of retro.

"With my seal, the defense of the western front of South Vietnam will be handed over to Changqing. ”

"Your Highness, your ......" I have only been in South Vietnam for a few days, if you believe me like this, I will pit you in the future, and I will feel guilty in my heart.

Although it is not in charge of this symbolic jade seal, you can directly mobilize all the troops on the western front of South Vietnam, but this still means a great amount of power, at this moment, Shi Yinghu does not know whether to describe Zhao Hook's illness and rush to the doctor, or really ambitious, use people without suspicion, and do not use suspicious people.

After Shi Yinghu left, Zhao Gou stood at the door of the study, watching his departing back for a long time, and after a while, Zhao Gou called Zhao Ying over again.

"Ying'er, this time I have already handed over the Jade Seal Tiger Talisman to Dugu Changqing, but after all, he is a Yanhuang person, although even a Yanhuang person has no reason to pit us in the face of the problem of the tide of strange beasts, but there is no big mistake in being careful, this time Mei Xun will also go with him, I want you to help ......" Such a big power is handed over, if you don't leave a hand to counteract, it will be too crazy.

However, after dealing with all the affairs, in the dead of night, Zhao Gou reflected on himself in the dark, and finally shook his head and sighed.

"After all, I still lack the hegemony and courage to become a generation of heroes, I obviously want to trust but dare not let go of power, I obviously set up means but leave room for it, read history, people like me will become the king of success at most. ”

In history, there is only a line between many heroes and madmen, success is a great and strategic, defeat is a thousand years of laughter, the most typical is Emperor Yang, in fact, if he succeeds in the east, the world is determined, and then in time to recuperate, what a great and powerful king will be?

It's not that Emperor Yang is admired and belittled by Han Wu, these two emperors can't be compared together in terms of merit, but just echo the above sentence: There is only a thin line between many heroes and madmen!

When Shi Yinghu knew that he was going to go with Mei Xun and Zhao Ying, of course he smiled, and the little admiration in his heart for Zhao Hook that had just risen suddenly disappeared, although it is understandable, but he is not an extraordinary person, and he does not dare to do extraordinary things, please don't put on such a posture, it's a waste of my feelings.

Shi Yinghu, who had a very good grade in high school history, knew with his knees that Zhao Ying probably had a secret order in his hand, and Mei Xun was probably the one who carried out the secret order.

"You don't have a chance to carry out that secret order at all, even if you think about it from Yan Huang's point of view, I will do my best to calm this matter and let the tide of alien beasts grow, this TM is a crime against humanity, right?"

............

The territory of South Vietnam is far inferior to the ancient country of Yan and Huang, and at the same time, there is an underground railway built by the Yan and Huang Engineering Department, so the time spent from Zheng Jing to the western border is not long, only two and a half days, this trip:

Shi Yinghu, Mei Xun, Xiao Fei, Zhao Ying and the five masters of the martial arts master realm, although the people in the team have their own thoughts, but Shi Yinghu does not think that this mission will cause anything, it is very complicated to deal with South Vietnam, the South Vietnamese people, the people who do not destroy the dynasty, must be cut as accurately as a scalpel, but at the same time, they must try not to reduce the national strength of South Vietnam.

This is because Yan Huang needs South Vietnam as a strategic buffer zone to protect its border security.

But in terms of dealing with alien beasts, things are simple, you can kill as many as you can, and the most important thing on the earth now is this kind of monster with an unusually strong reproductive ability.

Even if the level of science and technology is as strong as that of the ancient country, the output capacity of the army's submachine guns also accounts for a considerable proportion of the entire army's combat power, and has not been replaced by missiles, artillery shells, and tanks, while in South Vietnam, the army mainly relies on submachine guns for output.

Artillery shells are already strategic heavy firepower, as for missiles, they are in Zheng Jing's military defense system, but there are no borders, because missiles and supporting use need to be purchased from the ancient country of Yan and Huang, and South Vietnam cannot afford to burn them at all.

In this respect, the legendary warrior is still very cost-effective, as long as it is not like Shi Yinghu, they spend squandered money every year, and the maintenance cost of high-power missiles, high-tech is money-burning, and the more high-tech, the more it is a bottomless black hole that burns money.

Therefore, in many cases, small countries do not want to play, but they can't afford to play at all, and no one dares to guarantee that if the whole country is invested in it, they will definitely be able to research something, and even if they can research it, from research to finished product use, it is the same exaggeration as crazy burning money.

On the border of South Vietnam, the military region and the beast area are intertwined with each other, and when Shi Yinghu first arrived, he found that not only was there no steel building here, but even the outermost defense of the South Vietnamese Military Region was made of giant wooden structures.

The swarthy and thin Vietnamese soldiers wore dirty green military uniforms, holding guns to guard the border, a very small number of them had the idea of serving the country, and most of them were probably just soldiers and eating food, but even so, they also had considerable combat effectiveness, because in this country, it is not easy to live with a full stomach.

After arriving at the South Vietnamese Military Region in the dark forest, Shi Yinghu asked everyone to go to rest first, while he himself walked through the military region, because he had a strong spiritual infection ability, all the South Vietnamese soldiers were like not seeing Shi Yinghu, so they naturally avoided him to do their own business.

And Shi Yinghu, who was strolling in the military region, slowly opened his eyes after his eyes were slightly closed, and his purple eyes and golden eyes emerged, in this state, Shi Yinghu had the ability to be almost hopeful, and the entire military region was full of military energy, where the killing evil spirit was strong and where the killing evil spirit was weak, these could not escape these eyes.

"After all, there are still many people who are easy to do, although I am the nominal leader of this operation, but the two deputies are always guarding against me, and they will not do their best when doing things, since I can't bring people, then it will not be too difficult to select a few in the South Vietnamese Military Region, tens of thousands of soldiers, and select a few who have the ability to fight. While walking and observing, Shi Yinghu finally came to a hidden wooden house-like building, the outside of the wooden house had excellent camouflage, and even a sentry, which was much more serious than the sentry in the military region.

With a little ear, he heard the faint sound of shouting from the wooden house, although he couldn't understand those local languages, but Shi Yinghu already knew what this was.

"Casino, I didn't expect that the strongest people in the entire military region are actually here, too, military discipline is relatively scattered, and it must be that the stronger the person, the more leisure and entertainment they can enjoy. While muttering to himself, Shi Yinghu walked in, the sentry had just discovered this person who suddenly appeared, but after he was stared at by Shi Yinghu, the whole person seemed to be lost and stunned.

At this time, Shi Yinghu had already walked into the casino, and after a while, the sentry lying on the ground got up after a stirring, he had completely forgotten that he had just met Shi Yinghu, and that pair of strange eyes of purple and gold were shining.

The casino was smoky, there were homemade cigarettes, bad wine, and even a few women with ordinary looks but decent figures, Shi Yinghu silently shuttled through the crowd, he looked at a strong man playing cards at the gambling table, he was a white man, very strong, and very conspicuous among a group of South Vietnamese, but he was also wearing a South Vietnamese uniform.

(Are the people who committed crimes in the Western world? actually ran to Nanyue, the realm of martial arts masters, there are signs of human body transformation...... His left hand, grenade launcher?)

Fish looking for fish, shrimp looking for shrimp, if there is no one or a few forces here that are sufficient to check and balance, the white people who are obviously not good luck may have already turned their faces and robbed, and if they are unable to abide by the law in their own country, the probability of committing crimes in other countries will only be greater.

This is a result of a study in criminal psychology: people who are honest and do their duty in their hometown will have a much higher chance of committing crimes after going to other places, let alone leaving their home country and being in a foreign country.

After searching for a while, Shi Yinghu found a South Vietnamese woman who was playing with a knife, she was very tall, more than one meter seven, which was nothing in Yanhuang, and in South Vietnam, which was generally low in stature, this was really a very high height.

It's just that there is a cold aura around this woman's body, and the eyes of the South Vietnamese people around her are not full of hunger and thirst on weekdays, but reveal a sense of defense and fear.

(The third order? may have a unique skill, otherwise it should not make the South Vietnamese soldiers with high individual quality afraid of becoming like this.) ）

"Little handsome guy, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, you've been spinning around since you entered the door, but you didn't buy a single chip, you didn't spend a single one, this can't be done!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind Shi Yinghu, which made Shi Yinghu's face change suddenly, he was originally here to fish, who would have thought of fishing a dragon.

With Shi Yinghu's current martial arts cultivation, even if there is a chaotic environment in the casino, if he wants to reach his close body without being discovered, such a cultivation must at least be a legend, and even ordinary legendary beginner martial artists can't do it.

Turning around suddenly, in fact, Shi Yinghu is a bit contrary to common sense to do this, because after being close to a master of the same level, it is better to turn his back than to turn around, because in the process of turning around, facing the opponent sideways is far more dangerous than facing the opponent behind his back, because with his back to the opponent, he can directly run away, even if he receives a few heavy blows, the legendary martial artist is not so easy to die, and the fight between the two sides is forcibly dragged from fighting to a more subordinate "running" level.

And the moment you turn around and turn sideways to face the opponent, you can't run forward during this time period, and the speed of the legendary martial artist of the same level running sideways cannot be faster than the speed of the opponent's forward pounce, which means that you are "fixed" there in an instant, even if the opponent's explosive power is insufficient, and you have not been able to break your body protection true qi in a few moves, but it is also an indisputable fact that your body protection true qi has been consumed in large quantities.

The reason why Shi Yinghu dared to do this, on the one hand, was his conceit of his own Tiger Roaring Dragon Yin Hard Qigong, if the opponent dared to make a move, he would detonate these two hard qigongs, which was enough to create a relative first-mover advantage, on the other hand, Shi Yinghu judged that the other party did not dare to make a move, and it is easy to say here that it is also the South Vietnam Military Region, alas, the matter is really big, and the person in front of him who has suffered relatively greater losses.

Blonde hair, white skin and red lips, about thirty or forty years old, it can be seen that she deliberately fixed herself at this age, and the charm of a mature woman is actually much better than that of a little girl. It's just that at this moment, her eyes showed a fierce light, and both of them revealed a dark red blood.

This dark red blood fluctuation collided with Shi Yinghu's purple eyes and golden eyes, and even a circle of ripples suddenly spread out in the void......

"Ah, Hitomi!"

“...... Fierce Eye, You are the 'Fierce Eye Bear' Huang Fuying!" Suddenly, Shi Yinghu seemed to be in a bloody hell, surrounded by terrifying bloody people who had no skin and howled miserably, and wave after wave of spiritual impact swept in.

However, Shi Yinghu's willpower has always been extremely tenacious, partly because of his experience growing up since he was a child, and the hardships of his family have not polished his willpower since he was a child, and the other part is the integration and fusion of a variety of knife intents, which are jointly cast and sublimated in the slashing knife intent.

Therefore, at this moment, Shi Yinghu received a fierce eye, although he bit his teeth, he was still calm, and because of this, his true qi was disordered or he shot wildly.

But Shi Yinghu was fine, but the blonde woman who was also attacked by a pupil technique hissed, staggered back suddenly, and her face became extremely pale.

In fact, although Shi Yinghu's current purple pupil golden eyes are highly evolved, because Shi Yinghu has not practiced any pupil techniques, the purple pupil golden eyes have almost no other superfluous effects except for the increase in eyesight.

The reason why Huang Fuying was subjected to the technique at this moment was purely because her fierce eyes were suppressed too fiercely by the purple pupils and golden eyes with absolute power, and Shi Yinghu's willpower was far higher than her.

As the owner of this casino, Huang Fu Ying has a very high prestige here, so as soon as she suffers a loss, the entire casino almost immediately quieted down, surrounded by almost everyone, faintly protecting Huang Fu Ying, including the white Western man, including the tall South Vietnamese woman.

"I know the two sisters Xiong Yueyao and Xiong Xingyao, I know where Xiong Xingyao is now, Boss Huangfu, we are friends and not enemies. Although he said this, but looking at the people who came up around him, Shi Yinghu still faintly stood up, and he had already planned in his heart, and if he didn't make a mistake, he would immediately rush out.
