"Another..."

Zhao Yu said: "The magic weapon is the thing of the immortal monk, Meng De has no mana, even if he recognizes the master, he can't use it as he wishes." However, the magic weapon was only the lowest level of immortal treasures, and it could not contain too much Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Therefore, after this treasure is refined, every three years, it must be cultivated in the Five Elements Array of the Other Courtyard. Otherwise, the contained Yuan Qi will be exhausted, and the Five Elements Array Banner will be reduced to a mortal thing, and there will be no more mysteries to speak of. ”

Immortal magic weapons and magic weapons must be urged by mana to show their great power. However, Cao Mengde was not a monk and had no mana. Although he can use the means of recognizing the master to make him control the magic weapon, every time he uses it, the Yuan Qi contained in the magic weapon will consume one point, coupled with the natural loss of ordinary elements, for a period of time, he will definitely lose his subtlety and degenerate into mortal things.

Although the Five Elements Array Banner has not yet been refined, all the aspects involved in it have been in Zhao Yu's heart little by little. This kind of low-level magic weapon, if you don't use it once, can last for ten years. If it is used once a year, it is up to three years.

After all, it's just a magic weapon, not a magic weapon. The magic weapon contains the spirit of the instrument, and even contains a small world, which may not necessarily degenerate in millions of years, and even the longer it goes, the stronger it becomes. But low-level magic weapons are the opposite. Time can make it decay.

Of course, Zhao Yu can also use more thoughts, such as adding a few forbidden methods for gathering spirits to the magic weapon. However, Zhao Yu felt that it was not necessary.

The Five Elements Array Flag is just something that Cao Mengde used just in case, in Zhao Yu's opinion, unless the regime established by Cao Mengde collapses, the brilliance of this set of Five Elements Array Flag will definitely be buried by time.

In this case, there is no need to take that painstaking effort.

It's enough to be usable.

After chatting later, Cao Mengde cheekily asked about the pill.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "I've been thinking about the talisman car ship and refining magic weapons for a while, and I have never had time to refine the pill. In this way, after the beginning of the year, before the Shangyuan Festival, I will open the furnace and refine some more. ”

Not only Cao Mengde here, but also the demand for pills in the other courtyard itself.

Especially Jing Yuan Dan.

Half of the few furnaces of Jingyuan Dan that were refined at the beginning were left in the other courtyard, and now they have long been consumed. A boy from Cao Ang and Xiahou's family, as well as Guan Hai and other nurses, and even a few maids, and even Cai Xiaomei, all have needs.

In the past few days, my sister-in-law Cai Xiaomei has also been annoying Zhao Yu for this, catching Zhao Yu every day and asking for pills when she opens her mouth.

Even if Cao Mengde doesn't say it, Zhao Yu will take the time to refine a few furnaces.

Sister-in-law, you always have to accommodate a lot.

Speaking of the marriage between Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji, Mrs. Cai and Cai Xiaomei came to Taihe Courtyard and never left.

In the words of the old lady, this place is like home. Quiet, peaceful, no worries.

Cai Xiaomei is even more reluctant to leave, here, she can play with the maids like the most ordinary girl, without having to abide by the rules and regulations of everyone's ladies. The most important thing is that by staying here, you can escape the marriage arranged by Chen Liucai.

In the Taihe Courtyard, no one wants to come to the wilderness. As long as she doesn't leave here, Chen Liucai can't control her.

But the old lady was deeply worried about this.

Two or three years have passed, and Cai Xiaomei is almost twenty-eight years old. In this era, the twenty-eight girl is already a big girl. Biological children abound. And in the other courtyard, there were no other men. Zhao Yu is her brother-in-law, while Guan Hai and the others are just nursing homes, and their identities are more than a step behind. Do you want to be an old girl here?

But Cai Xiaomei has been playing wild in the past two or three years, and the old lady can't control her. There is nothing to do with her.

"What herbs does the gentleman need, just mention it. Cao Mengde was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Although there are many medicinal herbs planted here in the other courtyard, it is only a corner of the place after all. ”

Zhao Yu smiled: "If necessary, I will speak." ”

Cao Mengde nodded: "So... Sir doesn't know, some arrogant soldiers come to bother me all day long, and they are very annoying. ”

Seeing Cao Mengde distressed, Zhao Yu laughed: "You are happy troubles." ”

"Who says it's not. Cao Mengde sighed again and again: "It's just annoying, and I can't take it out, so what can I do?"

Zhao Yu said: "It's okay, it doesn't take much effort to leave and right, and I can refine as many pills as there are medicinal materials." ”

Cao Mengde was really overjoyed: "What medicinal materials do you need, Mr. give me a letter, I will search for more." ”

He laughed.

Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly: "Okay." ”

After dinner, Zhao Yu and Cao Mengde walked to the pavilion on the mountain.

There are three mountains around the courtyard, and only on the one behind the courtyard, there is a small and exquisite pavilion. This mountain has the highest package and the best view.

Of course, there is a formation shrouded, and no matter how good the vision is, you can't see the outside clearly. But the little starlight in the night sky can be sprinkled through the formation. The stars and moon are bright, like twilight, like silver sand, and in the haze, there is nothing wonderful.

Here, make a pot of tea and sit overnight.

"Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Bogui have died down. Zhicai proposed to take the initiative to tie up Gongsun Bogui so that he could continue to put pressure on Yuan Benchu. ”

Cao Mengde pinched the tea bowl and looked up at the starry sky: "However, Gongsun Bogui is not as good as Yuan Benchu after all, I am afraid that he wants to die down more, and Yuan Benchu and him have a truce, which is exactly what he wants." ”

"Since Mr. Zhicai proposed, he must have considered all aspects. ”

Cao Mengde nodded: "Mr. Xi thinks that he can give Gongsun Zhan the corresponding support for grain, grass, and armor." ”

Zhao Yu bowed slightly: "It's okay." It's just that... With your strong soldiers, Yuan Benchu was frightened, and Gongsun Bogui probably won't turn a blind eye. In the current situation, it is only right that the two sides of him will work together against you. If Gongsun Bogui is sober-minded, he will definitely not do what you want. ”

Cao Mengde shook his head with a smile: "Gongsun Chan is not as wise as Mr. He is not stupid, but Yuan Benchu has been fighting with him for several years, and the feud is too great, where is it so easy to press down? Gongsun Bogui's temperament is closer to that of a martial artist, he does not accept softness, he does not bow his head, and Mr. does not understand him after all. ”

"It seems that you have adopted Mr. Zhicai's strategy. ”

Cao Mengde bowed his head: "The left and right are just one step of idle chess, whether they succeed or not, they have nothing to do with the overall situation." I gave him some armor, money and food, and if he dared to swallow it in one bite, he would give me a sloppy look, and when the time came, I would not be able to clean him up. ”

Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing: "Right, right!"

"The land of Hebei is not in my plan for the time being. Cao Mengde turned around: "Guanzhong is the most important thing." ”

"Guanzhong?" Zhao Yu smiled: "This is true. Since you have set your sights on Guanzhong, presumably Li Dao and Guo Yan should be unlucky. ”

Cao Mengde twisted his beard and smiled: "It's almost bad luck." ”

He said: "In the middle of the year, Guanzhong was in trouble. Li Dao and Guo Yan became a fire and water, and they had a tacit understanding to squeeze out Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. I've let people infiltrate the gates and sow discord in them. If it goes well, at most before the end of the year, there will be chaos in Guanzhong. When the time comes, I will wave my troops into the pass, cut off these thieves, and take the pass into the palm of my hand in one fell swoop!"
