"Dominate the continent!"

The air in the spacious council house was half quiet, and Chu Shi answered Gu Ye's questions one by one, the latter pondered for a while, and so did Chen Changxiao.

Jiujiu sat aside, her face was a little darker, she stood up, said goodbye to Chu Shi, went out, walked to the door, she turned her head, looked at Gu Ye who was frowning behind her, and said slowly: "Old man, you can come out too, chat with me." ”

The latter came back to his senses, did not refuse, and got up and walked with her.

Wu Forget's face has been expressionless, groping for the Buddha beads sandwiched in the tiger's mouth in his hand.

Several Chu family members shook their heads, and the second elder took the lead in speaking: "Family Master, although 50,000 cultivators can be found, how easy is it to want them to join the army and fight against the border?"

"Yes, the head of the family, those Xuanmen disciples, the three people in the rivers and lakes, the cultivators of the family, have a great future and do not enjoy it, how many people are willing to fight for the court with their lives?" The chief steward sighed, and was a little angry, angry not because it was difficult for him to complete this matter, but because the court began to recruit troops and horses in the whole court in order to fulfill his ambition. War is all over the world, and in a few years, the war of life and death will come one after another, and the court soldiers will suffer, and the ordinary people will also suffer, after all, when it is a last resort, it is common to collect taxes and raise funds for the army and deprive the people.

However, since this is an order, Chu Shi is only a small state guard, and he can only obey according to the order, but listening to the elder's question, Chu Shi also has a trace of anger in his eyes, the court wants to recruit troops, not to mention the difficulty of this matter itself, when the royal family issued the order, it only passed a letter and did not give the slightest money for recruitment, so that all the expenses during this period were borne by the various government offices of Sampan.

Thinking of this, Chu Shi slapped the table hard, and then let go of his fingers and could only sigh.

"That's it, three elders, go to the state capital with me later, convey this matter to the city officials and Xuanmen, and order them to get ready. ”

After speaking, several members of the Chu family did not answer again, Chu Shi turned his head and looked at Chu Guoqiao seriously, the latter knew what he meant, left the chair and stood up, and said with a serious expression: "Since my father said that I need to wait for such a family to bear the brunt, I have no complaints, so I am willing to join this army and go out with the army!"

After that, Chen Changxiao looked at him and didn't say anything, as a son of a court official, such things should be obligatory, although he may be against the court soon, but no matter what, his target is only the royal family, just their conspiracy a thousand and one thousand years ago, he will not hurt those who can't help himself, let alone hurt his brother.

After a long time, Chu Shi nodded, he thought of his wife's prophecy many years ago, above the dim city, one person and one knife, destroying the withering and decaying, he took the edict in his hand, and said in his heart, sure enough, it still came.

Chu crossed the bridge and sat down, Wu Forget finally had a trace of expression on his face, as if he was smiling, he looked up at Chu Shi and asked lightly: "Chu family master, can the little monk ask a question?"

"Speak. ”

"Since the Celestial Empire wants to unify the continent, do they have any preparations for war in the East China Sea region?"

Maybe other people don't know what kind of place the East China Sea region is, but they forget it very clearly, in a word, if you want to attack, you must first cross the sea, besides, the cultivators over there, although it will only take thousands of years for a god to appear, but there are many people who are half-step gods, such as their own Buddhist temple, the ancestor who has lived for a hundred years, and the cultivation is already only one step away from the god of heaven! If you want to fight over, unless there is a cultivator of the god realm in the Celestial Empire, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible.

"I don't know, I don't think so. ”

Chu Shi replied seriously, although the East China Sea region knows, but because the two places face each other across the sea and are extremely far away, they are generally only people in the royal family who communicate with them, and other than that, it is equivalent to two separate continents, and they do not interact with each other.

Gogo nodded and didn't ask again.

Chu Shi raised his head, stopped his hand, and said, "Okay everyone, if you have nothing to do, you can go, the elders and housekeepers will go to the state palace now, and wait for the official to deal with these later." ”

After everyone listened, they obeyed the order neatly, and immediately set off to go out, Chen Changxiao and Wu forgot to retreat, and Chu was stopped by Chu Shi when he crossed the bridge.

......

Under the lake pavilion, Jiujiu and Gu Ye still stood as usual, facing the lake, and the cold water of the lake was cold, so that the children playing by the lake did not dare to get too close to it.

"What, you want to go back?" asked Gu Ye tentatively.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Jiujiu didn't hide it, and said lightly.

"Then I'll go back in half a year. Gu Ye continued.

"Why half a year?"

"You can go back now, and no one will stop you. ”

Jiujiu smiled lightly, as if he had thought of something, and replied, "Do you want me to stay for a while longer, and help Chen Changxiao get the spirit talisman when the time comes?"

"Almost. ”

"Naturally, I will help him, but that spirit cultivation talisman is very important to him or you?" Jiujiu turned her head, she still didn't know why Chen Changxiao wanted that spirit cultivation talisman.

"One promise he made to others. ”

"Promise?" Jiujiu thought again. "Liu Yetang, help them get the spirit cultivation talisman, and then go there to get benefits and get involved with the Liu family?"

It can also be understood in this way. Gu Ye shrugged.

Jiujiu turned his head, continued to look at the lake, and smiled faintly: "Whether this is the case or not, but I still admire your apprentice, although it seems that he is trading with Liu Yetang, but he has not obtained anything except for going to get some medicinal materials, and he has no intention of leaning on the Liu family, I don't know why he made this promise, but there are not many people in the world who keep their promises and don't ask for anything in return." ”

After speaking, the corners of Gu Ye's mouth raised, raised his hand to brush his beard, and said with a smile: "That's not it, as a master, in addition to teaching techniques, human ethics are also indispensable, hehe." ”

Jiujiu glanced at him angrily, and said: "Maybe I'll go back after helping him then, this is about the life and death of my fox clan, although I once abandoned them, but at this time, I have to go back no matter what." ”

"Do you need to bring Gogo, do you need to bring it?" Gu Ye tilted his head sideways and blinked

Jiujiu lowered her head and thought about it, and after a long time, she said, "It depends on the situation, if it is ......"

Speaking of this, Gu Ye interrupted her with a deep sigh and said, "Hey——! look at the situation, you are so old, why are you still like a little girl, you don't understand!"

"I haven't decided yet, so ......"

"So what? So you go on like this? Do you know what it means to be a bully with a bow, and if you feel right, you have to say it out loud!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiujiu kicked his ass, and said angrily: "Fart!"

After saying three words, Jiujiu took a step back and looked Gu Ye who was rubbing his ass up and down, and said with a look of disgust: "You old man will also overlord the bow?"

When he said this, Jiujiu deliberately made two words heavier, and Gu Ye was stunned for a while.

"you, it's just one!

"Yo, you're also a man with a story. Jiujiu smiled.

Gu Ye glanced at her, shook his sleeves and snorted, immediately turned around, retracted his expression and said calmly: "If you want to go back, it's best to bring Wu Wang, then Chen Changxiao and I will go to the border, or the underworld, I will come to you and take you to see the Three Emperors Yama." ”

"What are you doing on the border, fighting for the Celestial Empire?"

"Do what needs to be done, what has to be done. ”

After speaking, Gu Ye walked straight away, Jiujiu's thin waist leaned on the guardrail by the pavilion, and when he disappeared from view, the corners of her mouth hooked a beautiful arc, fleeting, and muttered alone: "We, will we become enemies." ”

This sentence is not a question, nor is it an affirmation, it is very bland, as if it was blurted out casually, and it seems to be integrated into complex feelings.

......

The House of the Head of the House.

Chu Guoqiao sat on a chair, and when everyone else in the room walked out of the mansion, Chu Shi slowly stood up, put away the edict in his hand, didn't look at Chu Guoqiao's puzzled eyes, put his hands behind his back, and just walked.

"Come with me. ”

Chu Guoqiao thought that his father was going to say something strange to him again, but he just told him to follow, and he didn't hesitate to follow.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the two of them came to the library next to the master's house, entered, and walked inside until the end.

Chu Guoqiao knew that although there was a wall in front of him, it was a wall that could be opened, and inside the wall was a secret room, and the ten torture knives and two secret books that he stole from home were taken from it, and Chu Shi naturally knew about these.

Chu crossed the bridge without asking, and saw that his father had found the mechanism after a portrait, the stone wall door slowly opened, and bursts of dust appeared in the cracks in the wall, and in front of him, there was an empty square space secret room, and there was nothing in it, because he had taken it.

"Come in. ”

Chu Shi walked in with his feet raised, and the stone door closed automatically.

"Father?" Chu asked in confusion.

Chu Shi didn't answer him, but continued to move forward, walked to the stone shelf where the ten torture knives were placed, and stretched out his right hand.

"Give me the knife. ”

Chu crossed the bridge and took out the ten torture knives and handed them over, only to see that Chu Shi didn't say a word, and inserted a knife into the hole in the middle of the shelf.

Chu Guoqiao was stunned, he hadn't noticed that the hole could be inserted with a knife when he held the knife before.

As soon as he thought of this, the whole secret room began to shake, and fine stones and sand fell from the ceiling, and suddenly there was a grayness.

After a while, I saw that the platform slowly retracted to the ground, sinking, and after a few mechanisms, a passage leading to the underground appeared on the stone platform.

At this moment, the shaking in the room stopped, Chu Shi walked down, and Chu crossed the bridge and hurriedly followed.

Passing through the dark staircase secret passage, the two came to the end, the ten torture knives were appearing on the side of them, Chu Shi took them down with one hand, the stone platform was withdrawn, and the secret passage was closed.

Chu Guoqiao took the ten torture knives, raised his eyes to see it, and after a sudden enlightenment, he couldn't stop being shocked!
