He Qingchen looked at the bronze Danding in front of him, and asked with a little suspicion: "This Immortal Weng Shending can really pray for a Dan?" ”

"Lord Zuo Xiang, you might as well give it a try." Zhao Xiao stood aside, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He Qingchen glanced at Zhao Xiao, immediately clasped his teeth and pinched his fingers, and prayed to the Immortal Weng Shending:

"The three scenes are entangled, the vermilion is scattered, the qi is filled with vanity and evil, the corpse is filthy and sinking, and the soul is refined, and the great god is combined, so that I will not die, live forever, be smart and see, and be long Henry."

After the prayer is over, the immortal Weng Shending spiritual light emerges, suddenly the fragrance is full, the smoke in the Danding swirls, kneaded into a Dan, and turns around for a moment in the Ding, and then it is like a bird rushing out of the cage, turning into two balls of light and flying out of the Danding.

As soon as He Qingchen raised his hand to take it, he saw three brilliant pills in his palm, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really possible to create something out of nothing, this kind of thing has never been heard of in the past." ”

"It's not really out of nothing, it's about condensing the void and condensing the qi, refining and merging. The monk refines the outer pill bait, collects the golden stone and sesame grass, and after matching the fire, seven and nine turns, finally burns out the dregs and condenses the pure physical properties, which is comparable to gathering qi to form. Zhao explained:

"I guess this Divine Ding is the treasure of Ge Xian Weng's Taoism, and he left it in the mortal world to pass on the immortal magic method of the inner alchemy pill to the world. If you only focus on the wonderful use of the Shending Yun alchemy elixir, you will fall behind. ”

"Kind of makes sense." He Qingchen didn't take the pill immediately, put it away, and said, "I just didn't expect that Princess Wu'an would actually appear in Xilu Mountain." ”

After killing Shi Longjun, Zhao Huang and the others set off to return to the imperial capital, and he informed He Qingchen of what had happened, and Lord Zuo Xiang was particularly curious about Princess Wu'an's actions.

"She's not just coming at me, she's warning you." Zhao Xiao complained and said: "The situation in Xilu Mountain is different from what you said before, Shi Longjun is such a big demon, and he has created such a sect as Guding Sect, you don't even know anything. If it weren't for my cultivation mana to deal with it, I would have died in Xilu Mountain. ”

He Qingchen's expression was serious, and he immediately raised the note, and said at the same time: "This time I was negligent, and it seems that the manpower I arranged cannot be fully detected." Princess Wu'an is not wrong, what I have seen and planned is limited after all. ”

Zhao Xiao didn't expect He Qingchen to admit his mistakes so earnestly, and he wouldn't find another excuse to prevaricate and perfunctory.

"It's true that you're in a high position, but you can't do it all." Zhao Xiao said: "What's more, you can do your best, there is no need to force the impossible." ”

He Qingchen raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xiao and said with a smile: "It's okay to say this from someone else's mouth, but you are not qualified to say me." ”

Zhao Xiao pouted: "Okay, Lord Zuo Xiang is far-sighted and ambitious, how can I be compared to a person from the mountains and wilderness?" ”

He Qingchen shook his head and chuckled, and then said: "Actually, I have long known that in the Xiong Sect, there have always been people who have secretly begged Princess Wu'an, hoping that she will come forward to depose me and return to His Majesty the Emperor.

But Princess Wu'an did not agree, she made a move this time, firstly, to see through your identity and worry about other variables, and secondly, to borrow your mouth, euphemistically persuading me to abdicate as soon as possible, so as to save my life. ”

Zhao Xiao glanced around and asked, "That Zhu Sanniang, could it be that Princess Wu'an sent to spy on you?" ”

"Maybe, but I don't really care." He Qingchen laughed at himself: "I have this ability, if Princess Wu'an had the heart to do it, she would have cut me into seventeen or eighteen long ago." On the contrary, Sanniang was sent by the princess to protect me, so that some people from the lake would not spoil the overall situation for their own delusions. ”

"But there were still assassination attempts before." Zhao Xiao said.

"Like you and me, it is inevitable to attract envy." He Qingchen looked at the Immortal Weng Shending and sighed lightly: "Ge Xianweng stays in the world and enlightens the world, Princess Wu'an is telling me that I don't have to bow down to everything." ”

Zhao Xiao has seen He Qingchen deal with government affairs, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, many new policies have been implemented in the past year, which one is not cumbersome? If you are an ordinary man, I am afraid that you will be injured five times and seven times.

Seeing that Zhao Xiao was silent, He Qingchen asked with a smile, "Why don't you speak?" ”

"Say what? Advise you to retreat bravely? Are you kidding! Zhao Xiao didn't smile: "Princess Wu'an has achieved cultivation, she naturally has room for maneuver when she stands outside the red dust, but you can't retreat, if you make a living and think of retreating, it will be harmful to the bear country." ”

"If you say that, I'm afraid you're going to displease Princess Wu'an." He Qingchen sighed.

"Before, in Xilu Mountain, she was almost about to cut me with her sword." Zhao Xiao spread his hands and said: "You have a Xiong Country foundation is too thick, I have heard of the Xihe Sword Pavilion before, but I didn't expect Princess Wu'an of Zhenguo to be so profound. I thought that the emperor's relatives and relatives cultivated immortals, and they were all joking. ”

He Qingchen said: "The name of Zhenguo Wu'an is by no means empty talk, it's just that the Xihe Sword Pavilion is not as big as Shangjingzong's family. But the princess's reminder also makes sense, I really should arrange what happens after death. ”

Facing life and death so calmly, Zhao Xiao did admire, but He Qingchen did not continue to talk deeply, but changed his words and asked, "Do you know the people of Chiyundu?" ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhao Xiao was puzzled.

He Qingchen took out a letter: "I'm thinking about how to deal with Huaxu Kingdom, Chiyundu currently occupies half of Huaxu Kingdom, and I have to deal with them after all." ”

Zhao Xiao's expression was subtle and unpredictable: "You come to ask me about this matter, aren't you afraid that I will be partial?" Chiyun is all in Huaxu Country, but he is a chaotic party and bandit, Lord Zuo should hate them, right? ”

"I really don't like Chiyundu, back then, they kidnapped millions of people on the border of Youxiong Country, and several counties in the southeast were hollowed out, and the household registration has not recovered until today." He Qingchen's attitude was straightforward:

"But just because I don't like it doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the situation. Back then, Chiyun took refuge in Huaxu Kingdom, but was slaughtered, I won't do this, but I need someone who can be trusted by both sides to match. ”

"You wait." Zhao Xiao interrupted: "You said that you won't attack Chiyundu, what is the evidence?" Don't forget, the Cult of the Rising Sun has been completely wiped out by you. Lord Zuo Xiang has always been resolute and ruthless in dealing with the chaotic party that coercs the people, why do I believe that you will let Chiyundu go? ”

"The two are not the same." He Qingchen said: "In addition to the fact that the Rising Sun Divine Sect is aimed at some vain people who intend to restore the previous dynasty, it is more aimed at me and the Shangjing Sect. And even though Chiyundu also has the act of agitating the people and coercing the displaced people, but it is to seek a safe life, which I can still understand. ”

"I didn't expect Lord Zuo Xiang to value Chiyun so much." Zhao Xiao's tone couldn't tell whether it was praise or ridicule.

"Shizun told me that on the Earth Lung Mountain back then, the three elders of Chiyun also appeared." He Qingchen tapped on the table: "They didn't move for revenge, and they left safely afterwards, should I say that Liang Tao had already arranged a way to retreat, or did the three elders of Chiyun understand the righteousness?" ”

"Lord Zuo is in charge of all parties, just send someone to ask directly, I don't believe you didn't arrange manpower in Huaxu Kingdom." Zhao Xiao said.

He Qingchen said with a smile: "It's not interesting to say this kind of thing, but I don't want the three elders of Chiyun to be suspicious, so I want you to take a trip yourself." ”

"You're so sure I'm going to help?" Zhao Xiao had been instructed by the three elders of Chiyun, so he didn't want to affect Chiyundu.

"Dominating Kunlun is not necessarily about killing you to the death." He Qingchen said: "If Chiyun is willing to be attached, from the three elders of Chiyun to the many generals and officials, they can all be appointed and added to the ranks, and Chiyun can also revive the inheritance of the immortal family." ”

"The three elders didn't do these things for the sake of high-ranking officials, power, fame and fortune." Zhao Xiao said with a straight face.

"Of course I know, but what about the three elders?" He Qingchen asked rhetorically: "I will tell you clearly, conquering half of the Huaxu Kingdom is already the limit of Chiyun Capital, they may be able to divide one side, but it is difficult to hold it for a long time." Instead of using swords, it is better to return as soon as possible, leave a way for everyone to live, and return peace to the people. ”

Zhao Xiao said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, back then, when the Five Kingdoms were defeated, they forced Chiyun to go to Huaxu Kingdom, and they probably held a grudge against the Bear Country. ”

"Back then, I didn't have the right to preside over this matter, Chiyun really wanted to investigate, and it is estimated that no one could bear the responsibility." He Qingchen nodded and muttered: "But I also understand the thoughts of the three elders of Chiyun...... In this way, I heard that Chiyun lacks armor and weapons, and in the face of Hua Xu Guo's rune armor, he is tired of dealing with it on the battlefield, and there is Xiong Guo who can help, which can be regarded as a show of goodwill in advance. ”

"You...... Shouldn't you play this game against Hua Xu Guo? Zhao Xiao suddenly asked: "At the same time, send armor and weapons to both sides, so that they can fight each other and fight with each other, so that the fishermen of the bear country can benefit." ”

"You really reminded me that you can still do this!" He Qingchen deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then shook his head and said: "Now Huaxu Kingdom is already a fight between the two parties, and I have won over the weak Chiyun in the snow. Moreover, now Huaxu State is controlled by the Great Sima Luoyi, and he will seek to usurp the throne at some time, which is just a good opportunity to start. ”

"Usurpation?" Zhao Xiao was shocked when he heard this.

"Isn't that strange?" He Qingchen smiled: "That's right, do you think everyone is the same as me?" But there is a good son waiting to inherit the country, what is called Luo, Luo? ”

"Luo Xixian." Zhao Xiao said.

"You know him?" He Qingchen asked.

"He's also a monk of the Huaiying Pavilion." Zhao Xiao sighed helplessly, he didn't expect that the same door in the past would actually embark on a completely different path.

But at this time, Zhao Xiao's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered Xin Shunying. The father and daughter of the Xin family are proficient in divination, and they chose to marry the Luo family, perhaps because they predicted future changes, could it be that they were waiting for the Great Sima Luoyi to usurp the position of the lord of Huaxu?

If this is the case, Zhao Xiao doesn't know if the Xin family's father and daughter are really smart. At present, the situation in Huaxu Kingdom, even if Da Sima really usurps the throne, in the final analysis, it is only half of the country, which is much worse than in the past.

And in addition to facing Chiyundu, there is a bear country that is also eyeing the tiger, even if the great Sima usurps the throne successfully, the lord of the country will not be able to sit on the throne for long.

"Huaxu is in decline, I just need to add fuel to the fire." He Qingchen said: "If you really don't want to, I won't force it." ”

"I'll go, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to convince the three elders of Chiyun." Zhao Xiao still chose to agree.

He Qingchen said: "You don't have to rush to convince the Third Elder of Chiyun, this kind of thing can't be determined by a trip. If there is any progress in the matter, I will personally go to the southeastern counties to inspect it, and take that opportunity to meet with the three elders again, and I don't have to let them go to the imperial capital to take risks. ”

Zhao Xiao took the letter, and He Qingchen said again: "You only need to go to see the three elders of Chiyun, and I will arrange the armor and weapons properly, and naturally someone will contact you." ”

"I see." Zhao Xiao was about to leave, and suddenly asked: "I'm curious, do you plan to return to the emperor of Youxiong after death?" That young emperor, who appeared occasionally except for the court, was really able to take on the heavy responsibility? ”

"Not necessarily." He Qingchen replied almost without thinking.

"So what's the point of you doing all this now?" This is also Zhao Xiao's biggest confusion at the moment: "I can almost conclude that even if you can die properly, there will be a bear one day, and you will be infamous for yone." Later generations may revoke your decrees, and if you are doing your best now, you will become a joke in the future. ”

"I'm not doing these things for the sake of future fame, nor for the sake of having a bear country." He Qingchen's eyes did not flicker without the slightest hesitation: "Many people think that I am acting for no reason, but in fact, it is not. For example, when it comes to the selection of scholars, did you come up with it out of thin air? ”

"Definitely." Zhao Xiao replied: "Each hall in Huaxu Kingdom has its own school homework, and I just generalize it. ”

"Each hall teaches different types of techniques, if you want to implement the establishment of science and select people, what should you do?" He Qingchen asked again.

Zhao Huang vaguely realized: "There must be rules to follow, so that the subjects of magic are set in one, and for this purpose, it is necessary to compile and revise the rules and regulations to clarify the system." ”

"If you want to make the system clear, the old rules and bad customs will be changed or abolished, and the people who used to control the situation will have to give up their positions, and the Rising Sun God Sect will jump out by itself, which will save me a lot of trouble." He Qingchen said: "Do you understand? I'm just going with the flow, and what I can do is not something that I can do on the basis of wishful thinking.

As for posterity, that's not something I can determine, and since I can't do it all, there must be something missing. That's a difficulty that future generations will face, and I can't help if I want to, so naturally there is no need to think about it. ”

Zhao Xiao was silent, he found that he was also rolling in the secular court, He Qingchen was far from being as obsessed with the secular as he was in the past, he was open-minded, he also had a transcendent vision, and he could also act pragmatically.

Even if such a person faces difficulties and difficulties, he will not be discouraged, and for this alone, He Qingchen is much better than Zhao Xiao in terms of temperament.

"Compared to the blessed land of immortals such as Tiancheng Mountain, maybe the earthly world is your cultivation dojo." Zhao Xiao said.

"The people of Taiyimen heard this, but I was afraid that they would think you were talking nonsense." He Qingchen said with a smile: "After all, the earthly court, a dirty place like the world's first-class, no one with aspiring immortal dao will set foot too deeply. ”

"It's hard to say." Talking to He Qingchen, Zhao Xiao was greatly inspired, and felt that the doubts in his heart were swept away.

Seeing that Zhao Xiao was about to leave, He Qingchen suddenly asked, "Wait, what are you going to do with that Immortal Weng Shending?" ”

"It's yours." Zhao Xiao waved his hand: "You just take advantage of the fact that your longevity is not over, and stay up for a while longer, presumably this is also what Princess Wu'an meant." ”
