Prince Xiao looked at this slim girl, rubbed her head like a child, and said: "I didn't give him a gift in vain, he will have to spit out this ten million taels of silver sooner or later, the martial arts and the Dragon Festival are coming, and the war between the north and the south will break out after a while, this time the six princes and kings came to the sunset is the most obvious sign, the court will inevitably raise money and food from the rich merchants of the southern continent, how can the Shen family shirk and hesitate at that time." ”

Ziluo smirked, "My lord has so many eyes hidden. ”

Prince Xiao sighed lightly and said: "If our dragon cavalry is enough to deter the people of the Yin Kingdom, why should the imperial court be so low and invite the princes and kings to come to meet King Qin, according to the information handed back by our "needle" planted in the Yin Kingdom, the speed of Chu Xiaohua's Iron Shura Legion is jaw-dropping, and even a taller steel cavalry has appeared, if we don't unite to deal with them, I'm afraid that within two years, Chu Xiaohua will raise troops to the south, and we don't have too many hole cards to deal with him." ”

Speaking of this impending war, the atmosphere between the two slowly cooled.

"Compared to the past era when ten thousand dragons ascended to heaven, today's dragons are really too few and too weak, once Qingguo loses the only pillar of the dragon, there is no need for Chu Xiaohua's arrival at all, the princes will turn from our most loyal servants to the most terrible enemies, and Zhao Wentian simply does not have the strength to unite them together, and then Nanlu will first fall into a civil war. ”

Xiao Wang Ye laughed at himself: "Dragon, the past glory of our family has now become our sorrow, if we really want to start a war with the Northern Regions, if we want to win this protracted war, the only people we can rely on are the merchants who occupy most of the wealth of Qingguo, by the way, how about today's benefits?"

Ziluo said: "Today's benefit is not bad, conservatively estimated that we can earn seven million taels of silver, if it weren't for your insistence on giving him the sword box, we can earn an extra ten million taels." ”

Xiao Wang Ye smiled and said: "I like that child's eyes, which hide a deep sadness and anger, but they are not easily noticed, even the two princes and kings are impressed by him, such a person can gain a firm foothold on the warp and weft of power." Although he is still young, he has the strength, as long as the pattern and courage keep up, he will definitely be able to become the second Shen Sanqian in the future, or even go further than Shen Sanqian. ”

Ziluo said in a daze: "Go further?"

Prince Xiao looked at the Qinhuai River at night and said a rebellious word: "Become the seventh prince of the Daqing Dynasty and sit on a royal chair that belongs only to him." ”

In the courtyard of the Dragon Palace, warm sunlight poured into the room through the paper window, and a faint golden light lay quietly on the mahogany floor, like melting gold.

The ** young man who was as white as frost soaked in the pear wood barrel, his hair fluttered, and the visible qi ripples took him as the center of the circle, slowly rotating around him, steaming clouds and dreams, and his face was full of intoxication with nature.

The liquid in the barrel was not water or liquid medicine, but scarlet dragon's blood, which shook slightly with the young man's breathing, sometimes dark as ink, sometimes bright red as plum, and countless precious medicinal herbs were soaked at the bottom of the barrel

In order to let Chu Xianzhao smoothly practice the true dragon sword, Zhao Xi didn't know where to get this large basin of dragon blood, and let Chu Xianzhao soak it every other time, in order to let his body adapt to the power of the dragon blood qi machine.

Chu instantly summoned his chest to rise and fall slightly on the edge of the bathtub, and the dragon's blood emitted scarlet steam, dyeing his white hair red as well.

As time slowly passed, the surface of his body showed a crystal round and transparent scene, and the qi in his body flowed rapidly, like a river in the flood season, where his heart longed, where his qi went, and finally penetrated into his own acupoints.

The dragon qi entered the cave, and Chu Xuanzhao's chest actually grew dragon scales as warm as jade.

Guan Changye once told himself that there was a princess of Qingguo who also traveled south and north like Qing'an Longxian, and finally stayed in the land of the Golden Horde, married the monarch of the Golden Horde, and became the great clan of the Northern Grassland, and he was the biological son of Princess Lou Huan, and he also had the blood of the dragon king Zhao Gongming.

Now that he was soaked in this bucket of dragon blood, not only did he not feel the slightest bit unusual, but he was also very warm and comfortable, as if he was in his mother's arms, and a shallow smile appeared on his face.

Chu instantly summoned the condensed qi and greedily absorbed the rich qi in the dragon's blood, the scarlet blood gradually became clear, and every pore on his body greedily absorbed the qi in the blood, and after entering his body, it formed a small surge, washing his meridians and warming the acupoints.

There are no strange dynasties in the world, how important it is for swordsmen and martial artists to exercise their physique, if they don't have a way, one step is wrong, and every step is wrong, and it is difficult to climb to the sky in a poor life, not to mention the Qi cultivation Taoists in the top sects, such as Longhu Mountain, which has both the inheritance of a master and the treasure of the earth, plus the qualifications of most people can be called outstanding, even if they rely on time to temper and finally become a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain who can truly subdue demons and slay demons for the people.

Xiaofu relies on diligence, and Dafu relies on life, but if you want to stand out again in the rare, the root and bone opportunities are indispensable, and the most important thing is the hard work and stubbornness like forgetting to sleep and eat.

Chu Xianzhao is hardworking, but his life is really good, and God has not treated him badly at all in the path guided by famous teachers.

At this time, under his endless demand, it was like being in a blood mist, and in the end, even his face became blurred in the blood mist, and the dragon blood in the barrel gradually became milky white.

Dragon blood has been the supreme secret treasure in the hearts of alchemists since ancient times, many alchemists dream of getting a bottle of dragon blood, they drop a drop of dragon blood into the alchemy furnace during the alchemy process can activate the characteristics of the elixir, so that the medicinal properties of the elixir can be reflected in the swallower faster, and even make the elixir produce new characteristics, but the dragon's blood is also a deadly poison, ordinary people only need to drink the dragon blood the size of the thumb cap, the dragon blood will quickly rot the kidneys in his body, and even make people grow hard dragon scales all over his body, and the death is extremely tragic and terrifying.

Zhao Xi said that if you want to fully master the sword of the dragon, the dragon blood physique is essential, because only the red dragon with a sword slashed in this way has the characteristics of high temperature and high heat, and the burning river to destroy the city is nothing more than that.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Xi decided to let Chu Xianzhao temporarily give up the complicated practice of swordsmanship, and fundamentally use the method of soaking dragon blood to change his physique, this method is the same as being reborn, the pain at the beginning is no less than breaking bones and connecting veins, when she let Zhao Yunlong soak in the dragon blood pool to strengthen his physique, I don't know how many times he rushed out of the courtyard with his bare butt crying and shouting, crying and shouting to death Don't practice the sword of the dragon, the same is true of the members of the dragon family room, and there are a few outsiders who can really practice the sword of the dragon can hold on。

The thing she was most worried about was that in the process of soaking the dragon's blood to transform the qi machine, this child would not be able to withstand the severe pain caused by the poison of the dragon's blood, in case he went crazy, he would either become a corpse covered in dragon scales, or he would pose as a half-human and half-dragon madman, and all the efforts in the past would be in vain, so she asked Chu Xianzhao to let him drink a small bottle of anti-dragon venom liquid before soaking the dragon's blood to alleviate the toxicity of the dragon's blood to his body.

At that time, the dragon king Zhao Gongming also used this method of soaking dragon blood to strengthen his physique, not only allowing him to master the power of dragon breath with the body of a mortal, but also gaining the ability to communicate with the dragon and tame the dragon.

The dragon's blood constitution can make blood flow in the veins like a rushing river, which is somewhat similar to the Sunrise blood constitution of the Bulchijin royal family, which makes the body circulate as if it is using all its strength, but compared to the high-heat constitution of Sunrise Blood, the dragon's blood constitution can make people give birth to rock-solid dragon scales like a giant dragon, and be reborn from the inside out.

The dragon blood physique is now one of the highest secrets of the Zhao family's royal family, which can allow the younger generations to obtain a swift physique beyond ordinary people, there is an emperor Daqing who once wrote down in the secret scroll about the experience of cultivating the dragon blood body, every descendant with dragon blood has a sleeping dragon hidden in the body, as long as you are willing to wake up the sleeping dragon, then you can get the real dragon power.

This is a certain step of death, once you step into it, it is equivalent to turning yourself into a burning chariot, and the day the flame is extinguished, it is your death.

There is no power obtained in vain, the dragon blood physique is built on the strength of the loss of Shouyuan, and the slightest carelessness will die violently, so the members of the Zhao family dragon family in the past dynasties are not very willing to cultivate the dragon blood physique, they only need to master the dragon army to be able to dragon in the southern continent, not surprisingly, they can die on the bed after seventy or eighty years, it is better than rashly cultivating the dragon blood physique to kill themselves.

The rich cherish their lives, the poor cherish their money, and it seems that it is worth it for a royal family like them to exchange thousands of taels of money for a day's time.

Zhao Xi repeatedly explained the stakes of cultivating the Dragon Sword, even though it was a very dangerous shortcut, Chu Xianzhao was still willing to take the risk of cultivating, which made her feel very gratified.

Chu Xuanzhao's current consciousness was blurry and illusory, and as the power of the qi in the dragon's blood slowly merged into his body, it began to take root and hover in the acupoints.

His body gradually became distinct, and several distinct muscles above his abdomen gradually tightened, like a ravine-cut land, and it seemed that fine scales had grown on a closer look.

From the stinging and burning heat at the beginning, with the incorporation of the dragon blood qi machine, it slowly became warm and comfortable, Chu Xianzhao now felt a crispy numbness all over his body, but this feeling slowly changed from crispy numbness to bone pain, until he felt like a worm in his bones was sucking his bone marrow, this feeling was simply indescribable, and a roar came out of his mouth.

This kind of pain was unbearable even for Chu Xianzhao, and the ten fingers of his hands were inserted into the edge of the barrel, leaving deep finger marks, at this time, scales appeared on the edges of his five fingers, and the nails shattered and then gave birth to sharp nails, and the five fingers were dripping with blood.

Chu Xianzhao could see his current appearance on a clear bronze mirror, his face was so hideous and terrifying, there seemed to be a red golden vein walking along his body in his body, cleaning the acupoints and filling the marrow, the whole process was repeated, until his body gradually accepted the power of this qi machine, and the dragon blood body was only established to build a small foundation.

Chu instantly slammed his fist against the stone wall beside him, and let out a fierce roar like a dragon's groan.

The pain was so intense that his body trembled and trembled, he felt his bones crumple and crackle, and even the most brutal punishment in the black prison was much easier than the pain he was feeling now.

Even so, he gritted his teeth and supported it, and the sunrise blood in his body continued to provide him with support to devour pain until his body adapted to the dragon's blood qi, which would be the limit of what he could bear.

Chu Xianzhao tried his best to get up from the barrel, and the whole person roared like a raging beast, trying to vent the pain in his body through the roar.

Zhao Xi told him that all kinds of breath flow of the world dynasty are not worth mentioning in front of the dragon's breath, only the king's breath can be equal to the dragon's breath, the human body has a strong rejection of the dragon's blood qi, and the dragon's breath crushes all kinds of qi in the human body with an absolute advantage, just like a heavily armed cavalry sweeping the land soldiers, it is precisely because of this overwhelming power that the various qi machines in the human body show a strong resistance.

Especially for a person like him who has no blood relationship with the Zhao family's dragon family, it is simply difficult to cultivate the body of dragon blood, this power may destroy him, but once he persists, he will inevitably achieve him in the end.

Zhao Xi didn't know that he also had a little bit of true dragon blood on his body, so the pain of receiving dragon blood was still a little weaker than when ordinary people forcibly cultivated, and Zhao Gongming, who received dragon blood in the body of a mortal, could fully bear the pain caused by dragon blood, and there was no reason for him to give up and retreat.

Chu Xuanzhao knew that he would suffer extremely intense pain, but when he really tried, the degree of pain was still far beyond his imagination, and he had to stabilize his mind and never let himself go mad.

Once his mind is lost, he is like a bird that suddenly loses its wings, no matter how hard he tries, he can't return to the sky, and finally let him fall into the abyss of Huangquan, and definitely become the kind of half-human and half-dragon monster in Zhao Xi's mouth, which is definitely a more tragic way to live than death.

Chu Zhao is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that death is meaningless, he has too many things to do, there are too many people who want to see, he doesn't want to die here in Luoyang City, he wants to die in Yinguo, or die further north from Yinguo, before he dies, he also wants to help Yingliyang raise the banner of Daqin, and he also wants to see the daughter Su Nianyu gave birth to for him, and finally see Chu Xiaohua again, and ask him why.

For Chu Xianzhao, he has too many reasons to live, he not only wants to live, he also wants to live happily, and live happier than anyone else.

The word happiness is very light to say, difficult to do, very heavy to lift, and very painful to put down.

When he was in Yan Mang's Palace, when Hua Youyue snuggled up to him, he said such a sentence for no reason, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at the time, and it wasn't until she was laughing miserably when she was pierced by the rain of arrows that he understood this sentence that she never wanted to understand.

Of course he wants to live, and he wants to be happy, to live with her share, to be happy.

At this moment, Chu Xianzhao's eyes were full of mourning and lonely memories, and then he raised his arm to his mouth and bit it without hesitation, and blood splashed in an instant.

The more intense pain from outside the body temporarily suppressed the sharp pain in the body.

Then he turned his fingers into claws and tore them at his chest until blood was spilling all over his body, and the blood meandered down his abdomen like rain seeping into the pine roots.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Xianzhao's body suddenly tensed, and then completely relaxed, and the whole person passed out in the barrel.

In the pavilion of the Dragon Palace Annex, Zhao Xi, who was no longer dressed in red, was sitting in the pavilion, combing his green silk with an old wooden comb.

The sun is warm, and April is full of fragrance in the world.

In the sunlight, the old wooden comb looks like brand new.

It's just that things are not people.

Zhao Xi stared down at this rosewood comb, back then, Guan Changye just liked to die to save face and suffer crimes, and spent all the silver on her body to give her a rosewood comb, saying that she was a dignified princess, and combing her hair naturally required the best sandalwood comb to be worthy of her.

Long Wumastiff used to love her very much, and over the years when the two were married, he gave him countless silk and jewelry, but she never wore it on her body once, but this rosewood comb was always carried by her, and she never left her body when she slept.

Guan Changye was willing to take out all the money on his body to buy a sandalwood comb that she liked, like a man who stood up to the sky and was worthy of dependence.

Long Wumastiff was furious with her because she didn't want to wear the clothes he gave him, like a child who gritted his teeth and couldn't beg.

Guan Changye is willing to give himself a comb with all the silver, and Long Wumastiff uses the wealth of the tip of the iceberg to buy his jewelry Ayara, these two seemingly the same thing are completely different.

The love between men and women, even if someone only pays a little, is often the icing on the cake.

Because they don't love each other, no matter how much each other pays, it is probably a mistake to make matters worse.

But these two people are very similar, and they both think that if they like her, they will be for a lifetime.

Even I feel a little sorry for them.

Zhao Xi gently stuffed the comb into his arms, close to his heart, and said softly: "The two of us are separated, the most bitter thing is not you or me, but our daughter, I am not sorry for Daqing, you are not sorry for Xilin, but I am sorry for our daughter, where do you say she is now? If the two of us will meet one day, how should I tell her?"

Suddenly, a dragon's roar came into my ears, as if it was about to tear the clouds in the sky.

Zhao Xi's face changed, and she walked quickly from the pavilion to the inner room, and saw a scene that shocked her.
