On the lake,

With a white jade-like face, the beautiful purple Kaoru danced.

Zi Xun has a soft posture and graceful dancing, and her exquisite dance steps bloom on the surface of the lake like flowers.

Under the sun, the silver gorgeous hair crown on her head and the silver bracelet on her jade wrist shined, and the plum blossom shape in the center of her eyebrows was even more eye-catching.

Her purple-pink long-sleeved gown was adorned with gold thread and beads, and whenever her clothes fluttered, her creamy skin was dazzling; Her thin waist is like a bundle, and the beauty of the beauty is even more graceful and beautiful.

The lake reflects her light figure, which is in harmony with the mountain and water, which is fascinating.

Standing on the surface of the lake, Zi Kaoru dances like a blooming lotus flower, with unforgettable beauty and unique charm.

"What do you think?"

Listening to the tide pavilion, Cao Ze stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the dancing beauties in the lake and mountains, and said with a smile.

"It lives up to its name, it's a must."

Xue Ningmei retracted his gaze, glanced at Cao Ze with beautiful eyes, and said softly.

I saw Zi Xun dancing last night, and I thought it was amazing at the time, but I didn't expect Zi Xun to dance on the lake today, and it looked even more extraordinary, like a fairy in the lake, amazing.

She had to admire that this woman could become famous in the capital in just a few days, and her dancing skills were really amazing.

"If only Yun Qiao, Xue Zhi, and Occultation were here."

Cao Ze sighed slightly, and some wanted to take the three Oiran ladies to Cao's mansion.

At that time, Zixun will dance, Yun Qiao will play the piano, the moon will blow the flute, and Xue Zhi, the holy daughter of the Demon Sect, will kneel beside her to serve, wouldn't she be happy?

The thought flashed through my mind.

Cao Ze didn't want to do this for the time being, he had other plans.

While his mind was racing, Cao Ze still admired the purple girl dancing on the lake.

When the dance was finished, Cao Ze couldn't help but applaud and said with a smile: "Good life, be rewarded!" ”

He stretched out his right hand and made a gentle move, and Zi Xun flew towards the Tingchao Pavilion with a sigh of surprise, and finally fell into Cao Ze's arms.

Snuggled in the arms of the opposite sex, Zi Xun secretly glanced up at Cao Ze's plump and jade-like face, and her beautiful and soft face suddenly flew into her cheeks and buried her head in Cao Ze's arms.

"Zi Xun, do you really want to practice martial arts?" Cao Ze said softly.

Zi Xun raised his head, pursed his red lips, and showed perseverance in his beautiful eyes, Wu Nong said softly: "Childe, I'm not afraid of hardship." ”

"Okay, then I'll preach and teach you now."

As soon as the words fell, Cao Ze disappeared from the Listening Tide Pavilion with Zixun in his arms.

Xue Ningmei stood in place in a daze, looking at Cao Ze's disappearing back and pouting, do you want to be so anxious?

To see or not to see?

This thought came to Xue Ningmei's mind, and a little flush appeared on her beautiful cheeks.

Forget it, I still don't want to read it.

Outside the Hall of Eternal Life,

Xue Ningmei snuggled up to the beams, listening to the unbearable sounds coming from the dormitory, her whole pretty face was flushed pink, and even the roots of her ears were covered with pink.

She didn't mean to listen to the corner.

As Childe's personal guard, she should come to protect her.

"It's been an hour, why hasn't it ended?"

Xue Ningmei's slender jade hand tugged at the petals, and couldn't help muttering.

Zi Xun is an ordinary person, how can he withstand such a whipping?

After a while, hearing that the battle was still fierce, Xue Ningmei secretly released his divine thoughts, leaned towards the dormitory, and suddenly saw an extremely fragrant picture.

She took a sip secretly, but she didn't withdraw her thoughts, and the whole person watched it with relish.

"This seems to be really preaching."

Looking at Childe's last move, Xue Ningmei thought silently.

With Cao Ze's cultivation, her luck helped Zixun to refine, and after being absorbed by it, it was definitely a great opportunity, which could help her quickly wash the essence and cut the marrow, be reborn, and build the foundation of martial arts.

In the Hall of Eternal Life,

Zi Xun lay lazily in Cao Ze's arms, letting Cao Ze caress her soft skin like water, and she really couldn't lift any strength.

"Childe, you said you wanted to teach people martial arts, that's how you preached?"

Zi Xun stretched out her slender jade finger and nodded on Cao Ze's chest, and her tone was soft.

"Zi Xun, you missed the best period for cultivating martial arts, so I have no choice but to make up for your foundation and lay a good foundation for martial arts."

Cao Ze smiled and spoke, half-truth.

However, he did use his true power to help Zi Xun refine his essence, and when he brushed his palm, he could clearly feel that Zi Xun's skin had become softer and more radiant, like mutton fat and white jade.

"Really?" Zi Xun does not doubt that he has him, and there is no way to distinguish the real from the fake.

She didn't want to tell either, anyway, when she came to the Cheqi General's Mansion, her fate was doomed.

It's also very good in this mansion, at least thousands of times better than in the Thrilling Moon Tower.

"Of course."

Cao Ze nodded slightly.

In my heart, I was thinking about whether to engage in a powerful dual cultivation method.

Among his women, Queen Shui Linglong, Moon Occult Oiran, and Zi Xun have not cultivated martial arts, and Yun Qiao Oiran has some cultivation but not much.

The cultivation of the eldest princess of Yongning, Nie Yinniang and other women is not high.

If there is a suitable dual cultivation method, with his cultivation, when he has in-depth communication with the women, he can subtly improve his cultivation to the realm.

"Where is this kind of dual cultivation method?" Cao Ze's eyes flashed, and he pondered.

In the world, there are many demonic exercises that collect yang to supplement yin and yin to supplement yang, and many demons have practiced, but if you want to say that there are pure double cultivation exercises, it seems that few really have them.

Cao Ze thought for a while but didn't get an answer.

He hadn't paid much attention to this before, and he couldn't think of any useful information for a while.

However, Cao Ze planned to hand over this task to Cao Feixue, and let Jinyiwei inquire, and he would get it after he had clues.

If you really can't do it, you can only try your luck, and maybe you can get such a double cultivation method in the future task rewards.

"Childe, the slave family is so tired"

Before Zi Xun finished speaking, her beautiful eyes closed tightly and fell into a deep sleep.

"You have a good rest."

Cao Ze placed Zi Xun on the soft bed and covered it with a quilt.

He waved his hand, and the clothes flew in automatically, and they were put on in an instant.

After doing this, Cao Ze gently kissed Zi Xun on the forehead, turned around and left the Hall of Eternal Life.

In the corridor, Xue Ningmei stood against the railing, and after finishing in the Hall of Eternal Life, she withdrew her thoughts and pretended to be nothing.

It's just that the spring color on her face can't be hidden.

Cao Ze walked out and saw her like this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he asked knowingly, "Ning Mei, what's wrong with you?" Are you sick? ”

"I know a little about medical skills, so I will take the pulse and feel the bones for you"

Without waiting for Xue Ningmei to agree, Cao Ze started directly and made a movement on Xue Ningmei's delicate body.

"Childe don't."

Xue Ningmei's face turned even more pink, and he stretched out his soft sword to stop his further movements.

"That's what you said you didn't want."

Cao Ze immediately stopped, and really didn't continue.

Xue Ningmei raised her head and glanced at him resentfully, she couldn't get up, you should continue.

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Cao Ze entered the palace again to meet the empress.

This time, Qingluan saw that Cao Ze did not cross his eyebrows and coldly faced each other, his eyes were full of scrutiny and doubt.

How the hell did this guy cultivate?

In a short period of time, the cultivation has progressed rapidly, and the rapid progress cannot be described as the advancement of its cultivation, it is really too fast.

When she first met Cao Ze, she had not yet achieved the complete path of the sword, and she had a strength comparable to that of the late stage of heaven and man, and Cao Ze's cultivation was only in the early stage of the unity of heaven and man.

Only a month or so later, she was a master of swordsmanship, and her combat power was comparable to the peak of heaven and man, but when she was facing Cao Ze, she felt pressure.

Cao Ze teased her that night, Qingluan was a little angry, so he wanted to draw his sword to teach him a lesson, but Cao Ze was caught between his fingers.

At that time, she was doubting what kind of situation Cao Ze's strength had reached, and he could make her suffer a small loss.

Judging from last night's information, Cao Ze had already cultivated to the half-step Heaven and Earth Passage at that time, opening through one Heavenly Pass, and his combat power was comparable to that of a super strong person with three Heavenly Passes.

It is even more famous to step on killer giants such as the Four Dragons and Six Fingers Qin Demon of the Blue Dragon Society, and topped the Grandmaster List.

In one month, she cultivated from the early stage of the Heaven and Man Unity Realm to a half-step Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, which was even more demonic than her.

Qingluan had never served anyone before, and her kendo talent was unparalleled, and any genius would be overshadowed in front of her.

At the age of twenty, he became a master of kendo, who in the world can reach it?

Previously, Ye Pujia, the first seat of the Jingye Division, was known as the first martial arts wizard in recent years, and he was promoted to the unity of heaven and man at the age of twenty-nine, and cultivated to the peak of heaven and man at the age of forty-five.

But compared with Ye Pujia and Qingluan, the talent is far from the same.

Chen Haojiao, the descendant of the Shushan Sword Sect who went to Longhu Mountain to ask for the sword today, has only achieved the completion of the sword path today, but according to the intelligence, he is already forty-two years old.

The forty-two-year-old kendo master was touted by the world's powerhouses as a man with unparalleled kendo talent, and he really didn't know that there were people outside the world.

Qingluan didn't care about Chen Haojiao, he was only successful in kendo at the age of forty-two, what was there to brag about.

But Cao Ze really made her feel the pressure.

As far as Qingluan knew, Cao Ze was only two years older than her, and he was only twenty-two years old this year, and he had already cultivated to the half-step Heaven and Earth Enlightenment, and his martial arts talent was probably not inferior to her.

As for being stronger than her?

No way!

Qingluan didn't believe that this would happen.

Within two years, she will definitely be able to complete her sword path, and her cultivation will be comparable to Cao Ze's by then.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter of summoning ministers into the palace?"

Cao Ze shook slightly, then found a random place to sit down, and directly regarded the Heart Cultivation Hall as his home.

The empress didn't care about these details, she looked at him with burning eyes from the moment Cao Ze arrived, and replied when she heard the words: "Shaoqing, do it as soon as possible." ”

"What happened?" Cao Ze's eyes flashed, and his expression became solemn.

"There's a lot going on." The empress pursed her pink lips and said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, the empress told Cao Ze about the several secret reports she received, and Cao Ze frowned slightly after hearing them.

General Zhenxi, who was stationed in Liangzhou and commanded 600,000 soldiers and horses, sent a secret letter, saying that Xu Ping, the king of Xiliang, had made an abnormality.

Dong Yuan, the assassin of Liangzhou, led an army of 400,000 to flee back to Liangzhou, became cautious and lived in a simple place.

After the 100,000 White Tiger Army was wiped out, the legion under Dong Yuan that had no celestial combat power was greatly reduced.

Although Liangzhou still has 2.3 million soldiers, he can't mobilize 600,000 soldiers, and the remaining more than 1 million soldiers are not strong, and the highest is the grandmaster's combat power.

Under the olive branch of Xu Ping, the king of Xiliang, Dong Yuan hesitated for a long time and took refuge in the past.

Xu Ping, the king of Xiliang, showed him part of his heritage, and Dong Yuan did not dare not take refuge.

General Zhenxi's secret letter also said that King Xiliang was suspected of having a relationship with the Yunyang Empire, and the two sides were embarrassed.

Above Liangzhou is the Merge State, which borders the Shenyuan Kingdom and the Yunyang Empire.

The Yunyang Empire has amassed heavy troops on the border between Daqian and Yunyang, and may invade south at any time.

After the death of Ding Zhuo, the assassin of the state, for more than a month, the imperial court has not appointed a new assassin of the state, just because the winner has not yet been decided.

Today's Bingzhou is not enough soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses are not fine, Yunyang does not invade naturally, if the Yunyang Empire goes south, the Bingzhou will definitely not be able to stop the Yunyang Empire's troops.

Liangzhou assassin Shi Dong Yuan also took refuge in Xu Ping, the king of Western Liang, if Xu Ping, the king of Western Liang, joined forces with the Yunyang Empire and raided the state, then Liangzhou and the state would be lost overnight.

The 600,000 army of General Zhenxi alone cannot be stopped, and there is only one army of heavenly and human combat power in the Zhenxi army.

General Zhenxi sent a secret letter asking for help, asking the imperial court to send reinforcements as soon as possible, and he would pay close attention to the movements of Xu Ping, the king of Western Liang, and Dong Yuan, the assassin of Liangzhou.

In addition, Hou, the champion who was originally sitting in the southeast, sent a secret letter, claiming that he would leave for Zhengjing City in the near future, cleanse the world, defend the country and settle chaos, kill the rebels, and support Sheji.

This made the empress hate.

The situation did not come when it was critical before, but now the situation is reversed, and the champion is about to run back, and he still leaves the great cause of the southeast alone, and his heart can be punished.

The champion Hou had three purposes in the southeast, one was to guard against Zhou Zhuo, the king of Nanyue, the second was to prevent the Xuanzhen Dynasty from potentially invading from here, and the third was to collect information about the Southern Zhou Dynasty in preparation for the annexation of the Southern Zhou Dynasty in the future.

The champion is now less than forty, with brilliant achievements and profound cultivation, and has already entered the realm of the unity of heaven and man, with several elite legions under it, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

"Is General Zhenxi reliable?" Cao Ze's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked.

How did he think that there were many suspicious points in General Zhenxi's secret letter, and suspected that his request for help was a trap.

General Zhenxi asked for help, and in the face of Xu Ping, the king of Xiliang, and the army of the Yunyang Empire, there were not many people who could be sent out by the empress to suppress the scene, except for the four marquis, who was him, the general of the chariot and cavalry.

According to the temperament of the empress, it is likely that he was sent to Lianghe and Liangzhou to resist the Yunyang Empire and quell the rebellion of Xu Ping, the king of Western Liang.

Although the situation in Zhengjing City is not over yet, the four marquis support the empress, and they can definitely withstand the pressure and wait until Cao Ze quickly quells the rebellion and returns.

But what if it's a trap?

If he is transferred away from the mountain, Xu Ping, the king of Xiliang, and the Yunyang Empire can ambush and kill him, and there will be earth-shattering changes on this side of the capital.

Moreover, why did the champion choose to come back at this time period, this is too coincidental, right?

"I'm not sure."

The empress pursed her lips, and her face showed a gloomy color.

She has been on the throne for too short a time, and she has no control over the Daqian Dynasty, and even there are many people in the capital who disagree with her, and she doesn't know whether the generals who are far away on the border can be trusted.

Cao Ze nodded slightly, thoughtful.

"By the way, folk rumors say that the first emperor had an illegitimate child." The empress paused and told a shocking secret. (End of chapter)
