Chapter 43: The Fox Makes Waves
Luo Xixian was interested, and asked with a smile: "Is this not what it used to be?" I see that Chongxuan Pavilion is in full swing. β
Jiang Ru shook his head lightly: "Chongxuan Pavilion has long been worse than a year, but it is barely maintained by relying on the predecessors Yu Yin. More often than not, it relies on momentum to decorate the faΓ§ade, but the inside is decaying. Liang Zhongwei, who offended Luo Gongzi before, has an extremely shallow cultivation foundation, but he also dares to speak wildly. β
"There are high-ranking people in the hall, and there will inevitably be some incompetent people." Luo Xixian said with interest: "But as far as I am concerned, the Chongxuan Pavilion has not declined to the point where you are eager to find another way out. Last year, we discovered the White-Fronted Gongdong Mansion in the Huaiying Pavilion, and your Liang Shouzuo came with a large number of people and horses, and openly plundered all the treasures of the Cave Mansion. At that time, I didn't see anything strong in the middle. β
Jiang Ruyan said: "Isn't this enough to prove that the Chongxuan Pavilion is unsustainable? Liang Shouzuo has the respect of the national teacher, and he actually wants to personally go down to fight for the treasures of the cave, and there are several types of robbers, which are unbearable, how can it be said that it is like the sky? β
Luo Xixian nodded slightly: "Indeed." However, your Chongxuanguan family has a big business, and if you can't do it, you will live separately, and no one will be able to stop you. β
Jiang Ru smiled bitterly, and it was difficult to hide the desolation between her eyebrows: "Luo Gongzi's words are light, the previous 20,000 soldiers and horses were paid empty, which caused the hearts of the people inside and outside the court to fluctuate. Chongxuan Pavilion has been unpopular for a long time, and one day in the future, the first seat of Liang will be edicted to raise Xia, leaving such a mess and many incompetent children, the lord of the country will not hesitate, and other pavilions are even more eyeing it. β
"As far as I know, Liang Shouzao has achieved cultivation, and your Chongxuan Pavilion will not be out of support so soon." Luo Xixian smiled, looking at the beauty frowning in distress, it was quite a bit of taste.
"Luo Gongzi is really good at laughing." Jiang Ru glanced at the other party and sighed softly: "You men, you know how to fight and kill, fight for power and profit, but you don't know the hardships and hardships of our daughters' families. β
Luo Xixian was aroused by these words and asked, "What?" Listening to you, could it be that Liang Shuo was forced to marry as a concubine? β
Jiang Ru's eyes were slightly red: "Concubine? I'm afraid I don't even have this name. Our Jiang family is under the protection of his Liang family, and the female dependents of the clan have to stoop down to serve, seemingly beautiful in front of people, but secretly humiliated, and want to get out but can't. It's just people like us who see Liang's situation in their eyes. Before the collapse of high-rise buildings, rats knew how to move to avoid disaster, but where could I escape? β
Luo Xixian saw the beauty crying, and his heart was on fire, but he still suppressed his desire and said: "I understand, you want to test my Huaiying Pavilion's attitude in the name of repairing and apologizing. If the Chongxuan Pavilion is unsustainable in the future, you can prepare a way out for your family. β
Jiang Ru wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "The concubine understands that Luo Gongzi has a grudge against Chongxuanguan in his heart, so he is suspicious of the concubine's motives. It is really not advisable to rush such a major event as another way out, I just hope that Luo Gongzi will remember today's meeting, and the concubine will be in trouble in the future, and I beg Luo Gongzi to worry about one or two. β
Jiang Ruyan was about to leave, Luo Xixian got up when he saw this, grabbed the other party's jade wrist, and dragged it down, Jiang Ru's body hit Luo Xixian's chest.
"Master Luo, you ......"
Jiang Ru looked up at Luo Xixian, her expression was flustered, and her delicate cherry lips spit out a few wisps of hot flashes. Luo Xixian only felt that the beauty in his arms was as soft as a boneless, crispy body, and wrapped in a curved skirt was a delicate and coquettish body.
"If you want to show sincerity, this elixir magic weapon alone is not enough." Luo Xixian stared at Jiang Ru tightly, his gaze was as sharp as a sword: "How do you prove that Liang Shuo was not sent to test me?" β
Jiang Ru shook her lower lip lightly and avoided Luo Xixian's gaze: "The concubine understands...... I also asked Luo Gongzi to cast a little spell, don't let the sound come out. β
Luo Xixian raised the corner of his mouth, took out the door sealing charm from his waist, and pointed to it, and the charm was pasted on the curtain of the camp tent to isolate the internal and external sounds, so as not to leak the spring color.
β¦β¦
After leaving the mine, Zhao Huang returned to Yuyang County with a group of soldiers, and experienced a difficult battle outside the Burial Valley.
"That's pretty much it."
Zhao Xiao pointed to a few places on the map and said to General Wei: "If there is no accident, that demon has fled from Yuyang County and can no longer stir up trouble. Most of the rest of the miscellaneous spirits and ghosts were exterminated, and a few escaped into the mountains and forests, unable to be tracked. β
"I don't bother to care about those little monsters." General Wei stared at the map and sighed: "Except for the county seat, there are not a few people left in other places, and this time Yuyang County is afraid that it will not be able to recover for ten or eight years." β
Zhao Xiao said: "If the idle acres of land can be distributed to the displaced people, and the meager endowment can be lightly distributed, and the farmers and mulberries can be persuaded to teach the mulberry, they will soon be able to regain their vitality." β
"You go and tell Wang Juncheng about these things, it's inconvenient for me to talk more." General Wei waved his hand and asked again: "By the way, I heard the soldiers below say, what kind of divine blades did you get for them?" β
"You can't talk about the blade of the divine soldier, it's just to engrave the talisman seal on the knife and practice it a little." Zhao Xiao said: "We monks are a minority after all, and not all of us know how to fight on the battlefield and arrange troops. And the soldiers who work hard can only hold mortal iron in the face of goblins and ghosts, which is very inappropriate. I don't think it's enough to just have the golden armor runes, if you can let the soldiers hold the talismans in their hands, supplemented by appropriate countermeasures, why worry about goblins and ghosts attacking the camp and disturbing the formation? β
General Wei first showed a happy expression, but in the blink of an eye, he became solemn and asked, "Zhao Fu, could this Fu soldier be a newly created creation of the Huaiying Pavilion?" β
"Sort of." Zhao Xiao replied: "I don't know if there are similar magic objects in other halls, anyway, I made it up casually, and I can't talk about any serious magic techniques, and I'm afraid that the specific use will have to be improved slowly." Those talisman knives were made improvisely, and if they failed in two days, don't take them too seriously. β
General Wei asked, "In addition to dealing with goblins and ghosts, can this talisman be used to kill and injure ordinary people?" β
"Then it depends on what kind of charm is inscribed, the fire charm is estimated to have a mediocre effect, and the golden charm may make the sword and gun sharper and easier to penetrate the armor?" Zhao Xiao spread his hands and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure. β
General Wei was not as relaxed and casual as Zhao Xiao, and he vaguely saw that if this kind of talisman soldiers were all over the hands of ordinary soldiers, it might cause unpredictable changes to the form of the battlefield.
"Zhao Fu Officer, can you create another batch of Fu soldiers to be distributed by General Ben?" General Wei asked.
"It's nature." Zhao Yan said: "But I may have to go back to Yanze City to understand the details of the Fu soldiers with the same goalkeeper as the pavilion." β
β¦β¦
Jiang Ru hid in the carriage, curled up, tired and tired, without the slightest happy look.
"Miss, then Zhao Xiao has already left the barracks." The voice of a subordinate was heard outside the car.
"Is he alone?" Jiang Ru forced himself to sit up.
"Yes."
Jiang Ru set up the make-up box and took care of her slightly messy hair in front of the small mirror, and then stepped out of the carriage and rushed towards Zhao Xiao.
"Zhao Fu, please stay."
Zhao Huang heard someone calling on the side of the road, and turned his head to see a delicate woman bowing to him: "Little girl Jiang Ru, I had a relationship with one side before, I don't know if Zhao Fuyi remembers?" β
"You ......" Zhao Huang was stunned for a moment, if it weren't for the tremor of the Divine Tiger True Talisman, he would have almost forgotten that the woman in front of him was the maid next to Liang Shuo, and she was also the fox demon who had attacked his practice, it seemed that he was really busy these days.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Zhao Xiao asked directly.
Jiang Ru said softly: "I came to apologize to Zhao Fuyi for the previous incident in the school altar. β
"Oh." Zhao Xiao responded, the pestle stood still, his face was dazed and sluggish, and outsiders didn't know what he was thinking.
Jiang Ru looked left and right: "Zhao Fu, shall we talk here?" β
Zhao Xiao pointed to a row of houses not far away: "I was just about to pack my things, let's go over and talk." β
When Jiang Ru followed Zhao Huang to the hut with broken windows and crooked doors, she asked in disbelief: "Zhao Fu lives in this kind of place?" β
Zhao Xiao glanced around: "Do you see how many houses are still intact in Yuyang County now?" It's good, I didn't spend much of the night under the eaves the other day. β
Jiang Ru tried her best to maintain her smile, and was about to take two steps forward to speak softly, but she smelled a strange smell on Zhao Xiao's body, and couldn't help frowning and retreating, covering her mouth and nose.
Zhao Xiao saw her like this, sniffed the green shirt on her body, and said embarrassedly: "Let you laugh, the day before yesterday I was drenched in the blood of the walking corpse in the field, it seems that this dress is not available." I'll change a few clothes, you wait. β
After saying this, Zhao Xiao hung Jiang Ru outside, and he knew everything in the hut, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Jiang Ru was in a bad mood at the moment, very bad. Thinking that he was going to serve Luo Xixian with a hue, the swordsman's physique almost tossed her apart, and she hadn't recovered yet, and now she had to deal with this Zhao Xiao again.
No matter how much Liang Shuo attached importance to Zhao Xiao, Jiang Ru only felt that this person was vulgar and ugly from the inside out.
"Anyway, he is also a monk from Huaiying Pavilion, even if he doesn't talk about fighting, his words and deeds should be a little dignified. Luo Xixian is full of energy, and he is rampage with great strength. This Zhao Huang is a complete layman, full of scheming, and thinks that he has a lot of means. β
The more Jiang Ru thought about it, the more angry she became, even if what she said to Luo Xixian before was just a flattering pretext, she didn't think about how to get out of the Liang family's control. This time, I met Zhao Luo and the others, and it was determined that she would definitely not choose Huaiying Pavilion, rather than dealing with such laypeople, it was better to be aggrieved by Liang Shuo's side for a while.
"Alright, alright." Zhao Xiao opened the door, changed into another wide-sleeved green shirt, and let Jiang Ru in.
There were no serious beds, tables and chairs in the hut, so a hay futon was laid in the corner and used as a bed temporarily. Jiang Ru had no choice but to stand and say: "Zhao Fu, I disturbed the altar before, but it was a little woman who was untamed, and I made a special trip to apologize this time, I hope Zhao Furen can forgive me." β
Zhao Xiao asked: "Untamed temperament?" I saw that you were tamed by Liang Shuo quite well-behaved, he asked you to come, right? β
Jiang Ru lowered her head and frowned: "The little woman is controlled by others, and she really has to offend Zhao Fu. Please accept these boxes of pills, and there is also a volume of formulas, and I also ask Zhao Fuzhi to look at them. β
Zhao Xiao put down the Dan box and took the scroll, and the four characters "gold water shape" could be seen on the cover, and the Chinese characters inside were written in gold lacquer, and the aura was faint. Zhao Xiao glanced at it casually, and the book contained a fractal scattering technique, from the sacrificial mirror, to the mirror, and then the spirit into the mirror, the shape of the mirror, the inner ritual strategy, the use of divine energy, all have a detailed description.
"Good stuff." Zhao Xiao nodded, but there was no smile on his face: "It is worthy of the Chongxuan Pavilion, and the reparation and thank-you gifts are so heavy." This posture even makes me want to take refuge in Chongxuanguan. β
As soon as Jiang Ru heard this, he hurriedly continued: "If Zhao Fu is interested in this, why don't you move to Yanze City to discuss it in detail?" β
"Tail." Zhao Xiao raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Ru's back: "The fox's tail is exposed." β
"Huh?" Jiang Ru hurriedly turned her head to look, but she didn't see anything, and immediately knew that she was in a plan, and she was going to be teased and ridiculed by the other party.
"You ......" Jiang Ru suppressed her anger and maintained a dignified demeanor: "Doesn't Zhao Fuyi want to see the original body of the little girl?" That's not pretty. β
"I've seen more ugly things than yours." Zhao Xiao sneered with a bit of ridicule: "Do you know what things I have encountered these days? Are you trying to scare me? You have the ability to show your original form now, and I plan to get a few fox fur pieces for the teacher and Shi Lao. Change! Hurry up and change it for me! β
Jiang Ru's heart collapsed: "Zhao Xiao! Don't go too far! Auntie, I apologized to you in a good voice, and the gifts were also given, and the steps were given, do you still have to be so entangled? It was Liang Shuo who asked me to disturb the altar at the beginning, if you have a kind, you can argue with him yourself! What's the use of your sharp mouth pointing at me?! β
Jiang Ru scolded, her chest and shoulders couldn't stop rising and falling, and then she turned around with remorse and wiped her tears.
Zhao Xiao touched the stubble on his chin, thinking that this fox demon was not less angry on weekdays, and he was so provoked by his casual remarks that he shook out everything.
"If you want me to say, you Chongxuan Pavilion is breaking the rules and breaking too much." Zhao Xiao played with the scroll: "Liang Shuo asked you to disturb the altar because he was worried that I would steal the limelight from Chongxuan Pavilion. But the result? If you don't do it, there will be no rumors in the market that 'Zhao Fu is on the altar to kill demons', who is making me more and more famous?
As for the apology, I didn't expect it, but when you came, I would have to doubt Liang Shuo's intentions. To be honest, this tactic is really not clever. I yearn for the Chongxuan Pavilion, but I don't want to take refuge in any powerful family, a recipe will buy me, do you value me, or do you look down on me? β
Jiang Ru turned her head, her eyes revealing a strange red light: "Do you think you have seen through everything?" Do you have to be a tongue-in-cheek? β
"I'm just telling the truth." Zhao Yan said: "I don't understand from beginning to end, why do you Chongxuan Pavilion want to stare at us and do things together, and even send Liang Zhongwei to separate me and Luo Xixian." If you want to maintain your position of power for a long time, and kill directly towards the Yunyan Chief, who can compare to you? β
"Naive." Jiang Ru also gave up, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Is it naΓ―ve, I'll understand when I see Liang Shuo." Zhao Xiao said to Jiang Ruyan, "Didn't you just shout for me to argue with Liang Shuo?" Lead the way, I'm just going back to Shiozawa Castle. β
