Chapter 433: Asking for help
After leaving the hill, Zhuge Chen returned to the camp, but deliberately avoided everyone's attention. Just thinking about it, you can know that Wang Daxue's identity can't be hidden after another big battle, so he has to let him cover his identity alone, and save everyone from being bored.
Being able to make friends with a promising future court worship during the trip is a fantasy for everyone. The word friend is simple to say, but many things are not just a matter of one sentence for Wang Daxue, the next head of the Wang family?
After a night of bloody fighting, this team naturally could not move immediately, and they needed to rest and count the casualties. The rest of the trip is not a problem to be delayed for a day or two, but if there are too many people to arrive safely, there will be real chaos. Zhuge Chen did not go back to the tent directly, but found a lake shore where no one was there to lie down. He took out the Zhuxian Formation Diagram given to him by the masked man, and wanted to engrave it on his Xiaolou Heaven and Earth Sword Formation according to the cat and tiger. With a wisp of extremely pure Haoran sword qi as the array, I believe that the killing power will be considerable at that time. But at this moment, Lao Liu found him.
"Where was Gongzi Zhuge last night, why haven't I seen you all this time?" Lao Liu said straight to the point.
Zhuge Chen smiled and asked, "Lao Liu, are you here to ask about the guilt?"
"Naturally, I don't dare, I'm just a little curious. Lao Liu opened his mouth to speak, but the implication was nothing more than that.
Zhuge Chen had no choice but to reply: "Of course I fought elsewhere, although I didn't suffer any injuries, but the losses were heavy. Otherwise, Lao Liu thought that the beast tide had retreated, could it be that he had figured it out and responded to it and returned to the dense forest?"
Whenever he thinks of his Chang'an Palace, Zhuge Chen can't wait to eat the man who covers his face alive. At the end of the day, I can only keep telling myself in my heart that the old will not go, and the new will not come. After being asked by Lao Liu now, Zhuge Chen's heartache was aroused, and he directly broke out and said: "Damn, I'm so angry!"
Dirty exits are rare for Bai Yi, and those who are familiar with him know that even between life and death, he can still talk and laugh.
Lao Liu thought that Zhuge Chen was annoyed by his suspicions, and he was a little at a loss for a while, but when the words came to his mouth, swallowing them was not in line with his temperament, so he still opened his mouth and said: "What is the realm of the person who drove the beast tide, has he died in the hands of Zhuge Gongzi? If he doesn't die, is there still a possibility of committing it again?"
Zhuge Chen shook his hand, took off the wine jug on his waist, and took a sip while continuing to frown and ponder how to outline the Zhuxian Formation Diagram: "That person is not dead, but I'm sure he won't dare to come again." ”
Stealing chickens doesn't make it impossible to say rice, and if he really has the guts to appear in front of Bai Yi next time, he will definitely be killed. Although there is no Chang'an Palace, there is no way to block the killing machine in the Zhuxian array. But Bai Yi will also be cautious, a flying sword is in front of the test, as long as the masked man gives the slightest chance, he will be killed by Zhuge Chen at close range. The other party naturally knows the gains and losses, and will never act rashly. Even he himself said that it was best to never see Zhuge Chen again.
After Lao Liu heard this, he put his mind at ease and apologized to Zhuge Chen: "Fang is that I am a little impatient, and I hope that Zhuge Gongzi will not blame me, I will accompany you here first." ”
Zhuge Chen turned his head and smiled: "Lao Liu, what are you talking about, it's just business." Besides, I'm not such an unreasonable person that I don't take this to heart. ”
"Childe Yaliang. Lao Liu said sincerely, he has been in the imperial court for many years, and he has seen a lot of young people who are talented or relying on their ancestors to accumulate virtue in the capital like stars holding the moon, and they will be furious if they are not as happy as they like. It often takes a good life to appease them in order to calm the anger in their hearts. Compared with these people, Zhuge Chen undoubtedly has a higher status and an unlimited future, but he is gentle and elegant, and he has never wanted to suppress others everywhere because of his identity.
Zhuge Chen seemed to guess what Lao Liu was thinking, so he said: "There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, who can guarantee that he will never be invincible on the way forward? But before it grows up, it's just an ant in the eyes of the immortals who skim overhead. When you are in a bad mood, you will be crushed to death with one finger. Isn't that the case with business? Heavenly Mandate Peak Boxer, looking at the weather, even if he is among the best in the Dao, it is only a matter of time, and he is the Prince of Qizhu of the Great Shang, and he is in the limelight for a while, but what is the result?
Lao Liu, who is worshiped by Dayan, couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but he still reminded Zhuge Chen: "It is precisely because of this that Zhuge Gongzi needs to be more careful, Shang Xue looks above board, and those who have dealt with him actually know that he is actually a person with a dirty mind." Childe, you cut off his invincible path, it is tantamount to planting the seed of demons in his heart, even if it is for himself to enter the realm more quickly, he will definitely come to target you. ”
Zhuge Chen replied casually: "I have already interrupted my cultivation path, don't worry." ”
Lao Liu naturally didn't know about this kind of secret, and he was naturally taken aback when he heard the words. He once had more than one relationship with Shangxue, and he thought that if he caught the right fight, he would never be the opponent of the opponent's fist. But in the mouth of the white clothes in front of him, he really understated that he had become a waste who had been interrupted on his cultivation path and was not even a cultivator now.
"Childe's killing power now, how much should he have?" Lao Liu couldn't help but ask.
"If the hole cards are exhausted, you can deal with the bamboo basket that salvages the magic tricks, and it is not impossible to kill. If it's the best way, it depends on the other party's killing power. If it's weaker, it can barely cope with it, but it's definitely not an opponent, but it won't be a serious injury to get out. As for Dazhen Road...... It's not an opponent at all, and if you run into it, you can only die at the hands of the other party. Zhuge Chen said slowly.
Having said that, if you look at the whole world, how many cultivators are there in the realm of the Great Zhen Dao? The deputy masters of the four major academies must have this realm, but they are also in their respective academies all day long, and they will not easily get out. In this way, although Zhuge Chen has not yet reached the point of standing alone in the world, at least he can protect himself by walking among the famous mountains and rivers. And it is only a matter of time before Bai Yi becomes the best way, and when that time comes, Lao Liu can't imagine.
Lao Liu couldn't help but sigh that he had lived most of his life, but in the end he was still a frog at the bottom of the well.
Because he hadn't been able to figure out how to outline the Zhuxian Array on his sword array, Zhuge Chen scratched his head irritably, and immediately got up and walked towards the camp. After all, he is not a formation master, and there is no way to do it at all.
Lao Liu reminded behind him: "Daxue Gongzi is seriously injured, don't you go and take a look?"
"Of course I went, but what's the use of me going, one day he will have to be self-reliant in this world!
Compared with Baiyi, Wang Daxue's life is already very comfortable, at least he doesn't have to suffer on the way to re-emerge. But life is full of ups and downs, and when the head of the Wang family goes to the sky in the future, and when it is his turn to take over the position, if he is not careful, the government and the opposition will be enemies. The Wang family is too big, and the tree is so popular, I don't know how many people want to overthrow it and let their family take over. It doesn't matter if you don't dare on the surface, and what you do behind your back is really heartbreaking. For example, the group of academy disciples in front of the gate of the palace before, if Wang Daxue was to deal with it three times in a row, he naturally couldn't give an answer, so he could only beat the group of disciples away in anger. But if you do, you'll be playing into their hands. Making a fuss from this can really disgust the entire Wang family once. I am afraid that the head of the Wang family will also be chilled because of this, and choose to be desperate.
Although he can't help the head of the Wang family in the realm of the Dao realm, the survival of the Wang family is not a matter of the emperor's words?
How to grasp the proportions of this, others can't teach it, so you can only rely on Wang Daxue to understand it herself.
Zhuge Chen raised his head and twisted his neck, his mood was not very good, but he was just peaceful: "Heavy snow, you should eat this pain yourself, I won't accompany you." Along the way, now I seem to be unattainable, and my suffering is like a sword, and I have to stuff my two big sleeves!"
Walking into the camp, Zhuge Chen saw at a glance that it would be Zeng Ruoyu, who stood in front of everyone last night and made a generous statement. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward, but he did not speak. It wasn't until Zeng Ruoyu stared back at him for a long time that she pretended to be shy and said, "What is the girl looking at me like this, I don't have flowers on my face." ”
The female guard beside Zeng Ruoyu immediately drew her sword and rested it on Zhuge Chen's shoulder, and said sharply: "To be honest, my young lady is also a little attendant of yours who can tease." ”
Zhuge Chen was as silent as a cicada, and he was so frightened that he took half a step back, naturally pretending.
Zeng Ruoyu stopped the female guard and said, "Xiao Qin, don't be rude. ”
Zhuge Chen echoed: "That's it, the girl is a sensible person, and Zhu likes it." ”
Zeng Ruoyu glanced at Wang Daxue who was lying on the bed, and then looked at Zhuge Chen and said, "You know?
I have to say that Zhuge Chen still has the ability to pretend to be stupid, and asked puzzled at the moment: "I naturally know Brother Xiaoxue, although it is only a few days, but we get along as confidants." As for the imperial court offerings...... If that's the case, wouldn't I be developed!"
From Wang Daxue's method of fighting in the beast tide yesterday, Zeng Ruoyu had already determined that the identity of the other party must be worshiped by the imperial court, so it is logical that the white clothes beside him should be the same. Although she couldn't see the other party in last night's battle, she still believed in it. But now looking at the other party's face that made her a little disgusted, she still couldn't believe that if it was really an offering, it would be so low.
Zeng Ruoyu sighed and said softly: "Forget it, I'm also leaving, you can stay here and take care of your little snow brother!"
Zhuge Chen picked up the basin of water placed on the ground, shouted happily, and then trotted all the way to the lake to scoop water.
When Zeng Ruoyu walked out of the camp, he happened to meet Lao Liu, who was an old acquaintance with his prime minister's grandfather, and it can be said that this court worshipper grew up watching women. The woman greeted the other party respectfully, and then said, "Grandpa Liu, this Xiaoxue, is this the Wang Daxue of our Dayan Wang family?"
Lao Liu nodded lightly and said: "Jade girl, you are still the same as usual, observing carefully, no wonder your grandfather, who is old and talented, values you so much." It's not that I buried him, such an old thing has done this thing in his life, and people can't find fault with it. As for the rest, I get mad just thinking about it. Take me and him when we were young, when I made some money, he asked to leave on the pretext of buying wine and drinking, and when I came back in the evening, I was full of fat and powder, and I carried two jars of broken wine in my hands. Others don't know, I don't know, I just take my money to go shopping in the Qinglou! These things, when you go back, you will talk to him every day, to see if he can be so shameless and let me pay for a treat the next time he sees me!"
Looking at Lao Liu's beard and glaring eyes, Zeng Ruoyu just covered her mouth and smiled and agreed, but what she wanted to ask was not about it: "Grandpa Liu, that white cloth should be Zhuge Chen, right?"
Lao Liu hurriedly shook his head and said: "Why do you think so, you don't know if you like to hear stories about him the most, how arrogant that person will be, how can he escort people to the extralegal land for Dayan? ”
Indeed, a self-respecting son who was about to slash the previous prime minister with a sword in the court is not like a person who can join this team because of Dayan's order. It's just that Zeng Ruoyu has admired Baiyi for a long time, and until now he still can't see each other, so he is inevitably a little disappointed.
Lao Liu quipped: "Our jade girl, won't we fall in love with that white-clothed sword cultivator? If that's the case, I'll give up this old face to talk about it for you." ”
The woman who was seen through her mind lowered her head and said, but she didn't have any confidence, so it was as thin as a mosquito's voice: "Grandpa Liu, don't make trouble, how can people look down on me?"
There is another sentence that Zeng Ruoyu did not say: "Even if you like it, what can you do?"
Such an ice and snow smart woman certainly knows that she, a mortal, can't accompany Zhuge Chen, who is destined to ascend to a high place. Decades later, his own people are old and yellow, and his white clothes are still white. And the so-called liking may just be liking, and after a while, it will be forgotten.
Lao Liu just said it, he didn't dare to do it, he was afraid that the two swords on Zhuge Chen's waist would be aimed at him.
The two walked forward, Zeng Ruoyu suddenly asked: "Last night's beast tide came suddenly, it should be someone plotting behind the scenes, wanting to take away the Prison Crane Sword from our hands, right? On this trip to a place outside the law, I always feel that there will be many cultivators along the way who have bad intentions, and we will never be allowed to reach it easily. ”
Lao Liu also realized that this trip might not be as simple as he thought, just asking for help, and it was impossible to get help with his understanding of the imperial court. It's not that the royal family doesn't want to, but it's really more than enough and not enough. First of all, the sorrow of being an ancestor will definitely be unable to leave in the capital, and then there are four bamboo baskets with wonderful skills to draw water, they each perform their duties and have more important things at hand, and they can't get out. Next is the cultivator of the ordinary bamboo basket water realm like Lao Liu, although there are a lot of them, but if they really encounter a danger that he can't solve, no matter how much they come, they will not be able to return to the sky.
"Why don't I have this kind of thought? It's just that we can't ask for help, so we can only be in the same boat through thick and thin! It's a big deal that when the time comes, if you really encounter danger, you will give the other party everything you escort, at least you can exchange your own life. Lao Liu Youyou said.
Zeng Ruoyu was naturally unwilling to do this, and if this escort failed, it would naturally be counted on her head. At that time, his future will not only be bleak because of this, but will also affect the people who accompany him. He is the only daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he thinks that the royal family will not be punished severely under the wrath. But those who are ordinary will suffer because of this. Having been with her grandfather for years, she wouldn't allow that to happen.
Zeng Ruoyu frowned, and said with a heavy heart: "When Wang Daxue wakes up, I will personally ask him to let Zhuge Chen appear here." There's no way around it, otherwise I can't imagine what kind of punishment our group of people will face if this trip fails!"
Lao Liu said softly: "That's all, but I still advise you to don't have too much hope for this matter." ”
"As long as it's not the slightest chance. Zeng Ruoyu muttered to herself.
......
The next night, after getting the news that Wang Daxue had woken up, Zeng Ruoyu specially brought the good wine he brought from home, preparing to meet the next head of the Wang family. Originally, these good wines were intended to be used by her to meet the people in the rivers and lakes on the road as gifts to make friends with them, after all, she had a thousand longings for the rivers and lakes since she was young. She had always believed in the books that the rangers liked to drink the most.
Zeng Ruoyu walked into the camp with his maid Xiao Qin, and saw Zhuge Chen and Wang Daxue chatting nonsense. Bai Yi was the first to notice the other party, stepped forward in three steps and two steps to reach out and take the wine jar from the maid's hand, and then said happily: "The girl is here, why do you have to give gifts, doesn't this seem to be a raw point!"
