Chapter 378: Emperor Qin Returns
Xia Yu and Meng Siqi returned to the uphill north of Pang City, and they were together with Han Yu and the others, and everyone began to discuss where everyone would go next. Xia Yu and Wan'er will definitely return to the Han Kingdom, Meng Siqi and Han Yu will return to the Lei Kingdom, and in the end, only one Zhang Ziliang remains.
"Ziliang, do you want to come to our Han Kingdom?" Xia Yu stood in front of Zhang Ziliang and looked at him very sincerely.
"Hahaha......" Zhang Ziliang laughed freely and freely, shrugging helplessly. "My whereabouts have been exposed, and the Hundred Ghost Kingdom will not let me go, and now I have nowhere to go except you. But then, Zhang Ziliang changed his words again. "However, I won't go back to Han with you, I'm going to the country of hundred ghosts. ”
Seeing that Zhang Ziliang agreed to join his camp, Xia Yu was very happy, but Zhang Ziliang wanted to return to the Hundred Ghost Country, but Xia Yu couldn't help but be surprised: "Why?"
Zhang Ziliang replied: "Judging from Baili's actions against the Ghost God Sect, in the near future, there will definitely be some big moves in the Hundred Ghost Country. Although the Hundred Ghost Country has been very calm on the surface over the years, but the interior is turbulent, Bai Ning is extremely ambitious, he has coveted the Central Plains for many years, and he knows everything about the Central Plains, but it seems that the Central Plains countries know very little about the Hundred Ghost Country. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ziliang suddenly looked at Meng Siqi. "I'm right, the princess of the Thunder Country, even the powerful Thunder Empire doesn't know much about the Hundred Ghost Country. ”
"That's right. Although Meng Siqi was a little reluctant, she still nodded honestly.
Zhang Ziliang smiled slightly with satisfaction, and his eyes returned to Xia Yu. "So, the top priority now is: to get more information about the Hundred Ghost Country, and when I was in the Ghost Gate in my early years, I was engaged in intelligence, and now I think it's time to get back to my old business. The subject has become my old boss, and I am also familiar with it. What do you think? Summer rain. ”
Xia Yu's expression became stern, and he hesitated a little: "You know that the Hundred Ghost Kingdom is going to kill you." If you go to the country of a hundred ghosts, won't you be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"
"Haha. The most dangerous places are often the safest places. Besides, no one is more qualified for this job than me, isn't it?" Zhang Ziliang smiled confidently and gently hammered Xia Yu's shoulder. "Don't worry, my life is hard, the fortune teller said that I can live until I die, hahaha. ”
"Okay. Now that you've decided, I won't say anything more. In short, you have to be careful in the country of hundred ghosts, if you can't do it, come back immediately, don't force it. Treasure. Xia Yu clenched his hands into fists and bowed heavily to Zhang Ziliang.
Zhang Ziliang smiled, also bowed his hand to Xia Yu, and said vigorously: "If I have any reliable information, I will inform you as soon as possible." My carrier pigeon is black, remembering the summer rain. Treasure. ”
Then, Zhang Ziliang left the team. After Zhang Ziliang left. Meng Siqi and Han Yu are also leaving. When a woman is parting, there is always something to say, even if it is a decisive and resolute girl like Meng Siqi.
"Xia Yu, although we were lucky to recapture Wan'er this time, Xuejing will not give up, you have to be careful. ”
"yes, I see. ”
"If you want Xiao Qi, you can come to Lei Country to find me at any time, Xiao Qi misses you very much. Always clamoring to see Daddy. Oh, my father still talks about you sometimes. ”
"Well, when I'm free. I'll definitely go check on Xiaoqi. ”
"Also, be careful on the way back. I'm afraid that the people of the Hundred Ghost Country are still around here. ”
"I'll be careful. ”
"Also, I know you're at war with Zheng Guo right now, and the war is going well, but if, I mean if, if you lose the war and can't hold on...... You can come to the Thunder Country to find me, my father's impression of you is quite good, you can stay in our Thunder Empire, with me, no one will dare to bully you. ”
After hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile warmly: "Well, thank you, Siqi." ”
"And ...... And also...... There are still ......" Meng Siqi lowered her head, anxious, but she couldn't "and" couldn't come out. In the end, she sighed helplessly, raised her head and looked at Xia Yu's delicate face, her beautiful big eyes were full of reluctance. "Take care, Xia Yu. ”
Meng Siqi and Han Yu also left, only Xia Yu and Wan'er were left on the hillside, every time they met and parted, Xia Yu always had a feeling of loss, he looked at the direction of Meng Siqi's departure, a little stunned. At this time, Wan'er stood beside Xia Yu and suddenly held Xia Yu's hand. Xia Yu was slightly startled, lowered his head, and saw Wan'er's smiling face.
"Brother, let's go home too. ”
Looking at Wan'er's smiling face, for a moment, the missing piece in her heart seemed to be filled again, and Xia Yu's mood slowly calmed down.
"Okay, let's go home. ”
..............................
A week later, Xia Yu and Wan'er returned to Handu. At this time, it just so happens that Fluttershy also arrives in Handu after some twists and turns. Xia Yu is overjoyed to see Fluttershy again, and that night, on a whim, Xia Yu cooks for a reunion dinner with Wan'er, Xia Xue, Fluttershy, and Wang Jin. It's a pity that Bai Pengfei and Lu Yuewu were in the north of the Han State to resist Zheng State, while Li Chunfeng and Li Yu went on an expedition to Li State.
Bai Pengfei guarded the Wind Helmet City and commanded the entire northern army, and after a period of development, the northern army under his command now has 200,000 people. Originally, Xia Yu sent Bai Pengfei to Wind Helmet City to let Bai Pengfei guard against Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo was like a big rock, which kept Xia Yu out of breath. But now, the entire 200,000 troops are pressing on the border of Zheng Guo, and they are afraid that they will become Zheng Guo.
Lu Yue and Bai Pengfei are also to guard against Zheng Guo. Now, the intelligence network of Lu Yue's subordinate secret troops has covered almost the entire Zheng Guo, and Zheng Guo will never escape the eyes and ears of the secret troops even if there is even the slightest hint of trouble.
Bai Pengfei and Lu Yue are two-pronged, and now, Zheng Guo is no longer worthy of being Xia Yu's confidant. Only after Li Chunfeng defeated the Li State, it was the time for Bai Pengfei to send troops, and at that time, under the attack of the two armies, Xia Yu believed that Zheng Guo would die! And this day was obviously not far away, because Li Chunfeng and Li Yu's army had almost won the battle, and now they had surrounded the royal capital of the Li State, and the city had been broken overnight.
On the Han side, although Xia Yu has never paid attention to the government, but with Xia Xue, the prime minister, the Han Kingdom is now thriving, although it is fighting, but the treasury is rich and surplus. During the reign of Xia Xue, he carried out drastic reforms to the imperial court and local governments, implemented a series of policies, achieved a high degree of centralization of power, and changed the loose city-state alliance state relations in the past. It can be said that the potential of Weiguo, which has been sleeping for nearly two hundred years, finally exploded in Xia Xue's hands. Now, the Han State not only surpassed the Zheng State to become the first power in the Central Plains, but also had the posture to catch up with the three super empires.
However, although after Xia Yu returned to Handu, almost all he heard was good news, but he couldn't feel at ease, and what made him feel uneasy was the Snow King Snow Scene of the Snow Country, and the second was the Demon Emperor Baining of the Hundred Ghost Country. For Xia Yu, the snow scene is a near-term worry, and Baining is a long-term worry.
Xia Yu began to concentrate on cultivation, but just like when he entered the Great Yuan Realm from the Small Yuan Realm, Xia Yu once again hit a bottleneck. After entering the Great Yuan Realm, it is even more difficult to upgrade every level, Xia Yu broke through from the early stage of the Great Yuan Realm to the middle of the Great Yuan Realm, because during that time, Xia Yu has been constantly fighting, has been hovering on the line of life and death, and the battle between life and death can stimulate people's potential to the greatest extent, and now that he has calmed down, Xia Yu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable for a while. This feeling of confusion made Xia Yu very frightened, cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, once you can't find the path of cultivation, you may stop moving forward from now on, and you will not be able to make any more progress for a few years, or even decades. Xia Yu felt like he had become an ignorant child overnight, not knowing where to go.
During these confused days, Xia Yu began to indulge in the story mode of the anime system, just like playing a game, clearing one anime level after another and defeating one anime enemy after another. After a long time like this, about half a year, Xia Yu's combat skills have improved tremendously, but his cultivation is still in the middle of the Great Yuan Realm, without the slightest progress, Xia Yu gradually became a little anxious. And at this time, the arrival of a messenger broke Xia Yu's peaceful life.
This envoy Xia Yu knew that he was none other than Zhao Wu, one of the Eight Sages of Tai Academy. What is different from the past is that Zhao Wu has changed his sloppy and casual appearance in the past, he is dressed very neatly and formally, the gray silk robe on his body is spotless, and his white hair is obviously carefully cared for, neatly tied behind his head, although his wine gourd is still hanging on his waist, but there is no longer the slightest smell of wine on his body.
In the main hall of the palace, Xia Yu was really taken aback when he saw Zhao Wu's appearance, and couldn't help but joke: "Elder Zhao, are you going to go on a blind date with this dress?"
But after Xia Yu finished speaking, Zhao Wu, who had always been casual, was surprisingly strict this time, he looked at Xia Yu with a straight face, his eyes were deep, and the first words he said made the smile on Xia Yu's face disappear instantly.
Zhao Wu said: "Xia Yu, Lord Dean is back, he wants to see you." (To be continued)
