Chapter 413 Who is the demon (nearly 20000 words super chapter)
Today can definitely be considered a perfect day for prosperity.
To him, everything Zhao Xun prepared for him was like a dream, overwhelming.
How can brother Ming Yun be so perfect?
Wangcai thought to himself while lying on the bed.
For him, this result can be said to be the perfect of perfections.
Everything he hoped for became a reality, and all his dreams finally came true.
Everything is like a dream, everything is as unreal as a dream.
Wang Cai recalled the first time he met Zhao Xun. Although more than a year had passed, he still remembered it as vividly as yesterday.
The beauty of good memories is that they allow you to look back from time to time. Although they may not be perfect, they definitely have good memories.
Wang Cai thought that since he decided to live in Zhongnan Mountain for a long time, he should naturally do something for Brother Mingyun.
Otherwise, he would really feel guilty.
A good life is so simple, a good life is so comfortable.
What can Wangcai prepare for Zhao Xun?
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I can only make a fuss about food.
Zhao Xun knows how to eat, and Wangcai loves to eat.
Both of them are top foodies.
So Wangcai decided to make a breakfast for Zhao Xun to repay Zhao Xun for taking care of him.
"Well, I decided to make breakfast. In the past, Brother Mingyun was making breakfast for me, but now I am making breakfast for Brother Mingyun. Naturally, I have to show more sincerity."
Wang Cai thought that since this was his first time making breakfast, he must come up with a special skill that would shock everyone. Only in this way can Brother Ming Yun feel excited.
So he is ready to take out his trump card - pancakes.
Pancakes can be said to be quite magical.
Basically, once you take a bite, it’s hard to put it down.
Moreover, this can be said to be a food suitable for all ages.
Basically, there is no one who doesn’t like pancakes.
Wangcai is more confident in the pancakes he makes. He believes that as long as he can make one pancake, he will be able to conquer everyone, including Zhao Xun.
Well, it’s settled, I must get up early tomorrow, I must get up earlier than brother Ming Yun, and I must make the pancakes before him!
...
...
Zhao Xun slept until he woke up naturally.
Because I drank too much wine at Wangcai's birthday party yesterday, I still felt a little hungover when I woke up early today.
This feeling really gave Zhao Xun a splitting headache.
"Taiping, is there any sobering tea? I'd like to drink some."
At this time, the benefits of having a wife are revealed.
As long as the wife is there, someone will bring tea and water.
If you are single, you can only do these things yourself.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Zhao, I'll make you a pot of chrysanthemum tea."
Li Taiping obviously understood what Zhao Xun meant and whispered softly.
"Well, Taiping, you are so kind."
Zhao Xun was obviously very moved.
It can be said that Li Taiping's personality has undergone great changes since marrying him.
Before marrying Zhao Xun, Li Taiping was the high-ranking head of Yonghe County and the daughter of the dignified King of Qi.
It can be said that one has clothes to hold out and food to open one's mouth. It can be said that one has fine clothes and fine food.
But after marrying Zhao Xun, Li Taiping underwent a huge change.
He can be caring and considerate to Zhao Xun, and he can be obedient to Zhao Xun.
The most important thing is that Li Taiping can think about the problem from Zhao Xun's perspective.
Even some Xiaojiabiyu can't do this, let alone a royal daughter like Li Taiping.
But Li Taiping turned the impossible into possible and the decay into magic.
This really surprised Zhao Xun.
"Zhao Lang, what you said is true. Isn't this how it should be between husband and wife?"
Li Taiping looked at Zhao Xun lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness and sweetness.
It can be said that Zhao Xun is extremely happy at this moment. He is really glad to have found the right person.
Li Taiping was simply the ideal partner in his dream. Li Taiping could hardly fault him in every aspect.
Perfect, really perfect.
Being able to find such a perfect partner is simply a blessing that Zhao Xun has cultivated for three lives.
"Zhao Lang, you haven't had breakfast yet. I have some hand-made snacks here. Do you want to try them?"
Li Taiping brought out a plate of snacks and asked softly.
"Well, that's not necessary. I'll go to the kitchen to make something to eat later."
This is not because Zhao Xun dislikes Li Taiping's craftsmanship, but because he has his own principles.
That means you must have a good breakfast.
Good guy, the best plan for the day is in the morning. If you don’t have a good breakfast, you will definitely have no energy for the rest of the day.
How could it be possible to get away with just two bites of snacks?
No matter what, you should eat some delicious food.
In addition, Zhao Xun's cooking skills are so exquisite, it is even more necessary to take advantage of his invincible skills.
At this time, we still need to make as many delicious things as possible. We can’t be lazy. We definitely can’t be lazy at this time.
"La la la la..."
Zhao Xun was in a very good mood. After drinking a cup of tea, he happily said to Li Taiping: "Taiping, wait for me here, I will make something delicious."
After saying that, Zhao Xun turned and left.
I wonder if it was because of the rain last night. The whole academy seemed very fresh and moist, and there was even a fragrance of earth in the air, which made people feel relaxed and happy after smelling it.
Zhao Xun is in a good mood now.
Although it took a long time to prepare for Wangcai’s birthday, the final result was perfect.
This shows that their previous efforts were not in vain.
Hard work pays off, and as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will definitely gain something.
As long as you work hard, you will definitely get what you want.
Soon Zhao Xun came to the kitchen, but obviously he saw the smoke rising from the kitchen roof.
Strange, why would someone get up so early and come to the kitchen to cook? Could it be Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan?
In Zhao Xun's impression, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's rise was not considered too late, but it was definitely not considered too early.
So is this person who got up early really the third senior brother Long Qingquan?
Zhao Xun expressed some doubts about this.
So Zhao Xun wanted to get closer and see with his own eyes to see who this person was.
La la la la...
Anyway, they must be acquaintances, so Zhao Xun didn't have any precautions and felt very calm.
Zhao Xun really wants to see what will happen next...
"Wow..."
As soon as Zhao Xun entered the kitchen, he was conquered by a scent.
The scent was so obvious that Zhao Xun caught it immediately.
And the aroma is very familiar, like a food he often cooked and ate before...
Zhao Xun searched carefully in his mind, but for a while he couldn't distinguish this food.
"Hmm...what exactly is it."
That's all, Zhao Xun didn't want to guess anymore, but walked towards the inner room minding his own business.
There's no point in guessing, it's better to see it with your own eyes.
After saying that, Zhao Xun walked into the inner room.
After walking into the inner room, Zhao Xun found Wangcai cooking in front of the stove.
Zhao Xun suspected for a while that he had read it wrong before he woke up.
He quickly rubbed his eyes, but what he saw was still wealth.
"Hey, does the sun come out from the west? How come even Wangcai started cooking?"
Zhao Xun felt puzzled.
"Wangcai, what happened to you today? Why did you suddenly think of getting up early to cook..."
Zhao Xun was really surprised.
Wangcai's move was beyond his expectation.
"Oh, Brother Mingyun, you don't know, I like to cook the most. I always eat the ready-made food you make, and I feel a little embarrassed."
Wangcai chuckled and said, "So I'm going to cook you a breakfast today, which can be regarded as repaying Brother Mingyun for taking care of me before."
"Well..."
Zhao Xun was a little confused for a moment.
Why did Wangcai suddenly become so polite?
In the past, wasn't it possible to make money by eating and drinking without any psychological barriers or burdens?
This suddenly became so polite, which really made Zhao Xun uncomfortable...
"Wangcai, there's really no need to be so polite..."
"No, no, no, I do what I say. I said I would make you a breakfast and I must do it. Otherwise, I am breaking my promise. Am I, Pan Wangcai, a person who does not keep my promise?"
Wangcai spread his hands and said: "Hey, brother Mingyun, just move to a small bench and wait aside. I will definitely not let you down."
Seeing Wangcai's confident look, Zhao Xun felt a little interesting for a moment. How wonderful, how wonderful.
I never thought that one day he would be able to eat food made by Wangcai. This is really very satisfying.
I just don’t know what Wangcai is going to do this time.
"Wangcai, what did you cook for breakfast this time?"
In the end, Zhao Xun couldn't resist the temptation and couldn't help but ask.
"Today's breakfast? Today's breakfast is pancakes. Let me tell you, brother Mingyun, I am a master at pancakes. Many people can no longer eat pancakes made by other companies after eating the pancakes I made.
.This is a completely different level. To use what you often say, it is a dimensionality reduction attack. Just wait and see, wait and see. After you eat the pancakes I made, you will know what the human world is.
It’s delicious. Just take a small bite and your mouth will be filled with all kinds of aromas. Well...that taste will definitely leave an unforgettable aroma on your lips and teeth.”
"Well..."
Zhao Xun only listened to it for a moment before his mouth watered.
Wangcai is also a top foodie after all, and he definitely has his own pursuits and standards for food.
Presumably the delicious food he cooks won’t be too bad, right?
Zhao Xun is still full of expectations for this.
"Hehehehe, brother Mingyun, just watch from the side. I'm still almost finished. This pancake must be finished in one go. If it breaks in the middle, it will be bad."
When Wangcai finished speaking and turned around, he found that the pancakes he spread out were completely black and mushy.
For a time, I was very prosperous and anxious.
"Oh, what did I just say? You can't be distracted by this pancake. As long as you are distracted, it will be over. What a pity, it is really a pity. I have almost finished spreading this pancake.
, it’s just the final step. But now I have to do it all over again, which makes me want to cry without tears.”
There is no reason why Wangcai is so sad.
Pancakes are actually quite a test of patience.
If you don't have patience, you won't be able to spread the pancakes well.
And Wangcai is an impatient person.
The fact that he was able to concentrate and spend so much time spreading this pancake shows that he put in a lot of effort.
The sad thing is that he obviously put in a lot of effort, but it didn't bear fruit or gain anything.
This is absolutely too sad.
"Oh, so, this life is full of all kinds of uncertainties. Uncertainty is interesting. Wangcai, don't be in a hurry and spread out a new pancake. I won't disturb you.
Alright, I'll go outside first..."
Zhao Xun saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly oiled his feet and fled.
For him, the relationship between him and Wangcai is quite magical.
The two can be considered brothers and friends.
But he knew that it was difficult for Wangcai to remain emotionally stable when he was extremely angry.
So choosing to run away at this time is the wisest choice.
If you wait until your wealth grows, you won't be able to escape even if you want to.
Wangcai saw Zhao Xun running away and was helpless for a moment.
What can he do? Should he chase Zhao Xun back?
That's all, it was his own fault, the worst he could do was spread out another pancake.
...
...
Zhao Xun was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after escaping from the kitchen.
Good guy...this is really not easy.
He really didn't expect Wangcai to spread pancakes, and even chatted with him while spreading pancakes.
This is simply a taboo for spreading pancakes.
Fortunately, he ran fast, so he was not bullied by Wangcai.
Zhao Xun walked to the bamboo forest and breathed in the fresh air. He couldn't help but close his eyes and quietly enjoy the beauty and small luck brought by it all.
There should be such beauty and small blessings in life.
Although it does not necessarily need to be done every day, it is still necessary to do it every few days.
"Oh, why are you here, little junior brother?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan happened to be walking towards him at this time, startling Zhao Xun.
"Oh, Third Senior Brother, why are you walking without any sound at all? I didn't expect it at all."
"Hey, why don't I start practicing Qing Gong with you now? I still need to practice more Qing Gong. Think about it, my Qing Gong was very good back then, but after not practicing it for so long, I'm still a little rusty."
"Well..."
Zhao Xun was a little stunned for a moment.
"Third Senior Brother, you didn't get up early just to practice Qing Gong, right?"
"Of course not. Practicing Qing Gong is just incidental. The most important thing is to be able to eat a perfect breakfast. By the way, junior brother, why didn't you go to the kitchen to cook today?"
"Someone is already doing it inside. I just came out and was lazy."
"Ah? Apart from you and me, who else will take the initiative to come into the kitchen to cook?"
Jia Xingwen obviously felt in disbelief.
There are really very few people in the academy who are willing to take the initiative to cook.
People like him and Zhao Xun can definitely be regarded as rare creatures.
"Oh, it's Wangcai. Wangcai is cooking in the kitchen right now."
Zhao Xun didn't want to be secretive at this time, so he simply showed his cards with his hands.
"What? Wangcai? Brother Mingyun, you said Wangcai is cooking in the kitchen right now?"
At this time, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's eyes were as wide as cowbells.
"No, no, no, this is impossible. Junior brother, you must be lying to me. That guy Wangcai is just a lazy greedy man. He will only sleep in until noon, and then trot over to eat ready-made food. Expect him to do it
Rice? I don’t believe it no matter what.”
"Well, Third Senior Brother, I'm not going to lie to you. Wangcai is really cooking in the kitchen now."
Zhao Xun couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
It seems that the third senior brother has a big prejudice against Wangcai. He refuses to believe that Wangcai is cooking no matter what.
"real?"
Long Qingquan asked tentatively again.
"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"
Zhao Xun smiled lightly and said: "Wangcai is spreading pancakes now. I chatted with him for a few words when I just walked in, but he turned out that the pancakes were burnt. He was still complaining and scolding me. I think something is wrong with the situation.
He ran away in a flash, haha..."
Zhao Xun was still feeling lucky for what he had just done.
Well, this is no joke. If Wang Cai catches him, Zhao Xun will definitely be tickled to death with those cat punches.
"Hey, I really can't imagine how that guy spreads the pancakes."
Long Qingquan felt very scared.
Could it be the legendary dark cuisine?
He knew that his junior brother Zhao Xun's cooking skills were quite exquisite, but a prosperous fortune was a prosperous fortune after all. Even if he had been around his junior brother for such a long time, he might not be able to reach the level of his junior brother Zhao Xun.
For a moment, Long Qingquan felt very scared.
He cannot accept eating so-called dark cuisine. Of course, except for the ones he cooks himself.
But let’s forget about what Wangcai did.
Long Qingquan shook his head repeatedly when he thought about it.
He could even imagine what the pancakes at Wangcai stall looked like. They must be big, thick, and rich in flavor...
"Oh, Third Senior Brother, I think you should not hold prejudices against others. Besides, haven't you ever eaten food made by Wangcai himself? You really shouldn't draw conclusions so easily."
Zhao Xun still wants to let his third senior brother Long Qingquan have more beautiful visions for life.
After all, for the moment, this is the most perfect food they can enjoy.
You don’t have to make it yourself, you don’t have to worry about it, someone will just walk it and bring it to you, so what else do you need a bicycle?
If you want this or that, Third Senior Brother, why don’t you go to heaven?
Obviously, Long Qingquan has understood Zhao Xun's mood at this moment, but it is not easy to maintain absolute trust.
Especially for prosperity.
Long Qingquan really has no confidence in Wangcai.
That's all, since the junior brother has said all this, he must grasp it well to avoid a verbal conflict with Wangcai.
After all, this is Wangcai’s first time cooking for them.
So no matter how unpalatable it is, Long Qingquan still has to give a relatively good evaluation to encourage wealth.
People like to hear good words. After hearing too many good words, the whole person will be in an absolute state of excitement. After hearing too many good words, the person will be prosperous and should be able to maintain absolute progress.
Long Qingquan believed that given time, Wangcai would be able to make a breakthrough and even become a top chef comparable to his junior brother.
"So, let's just wait here now?"
"Yes, all we have to do is wait. Wait for Wangcai to deliver the pancake stall. How about it, Third Senior Brother, isn't this feeling amazing?"
I have to say that after getting used to cooking, Zhao Xun was somewhat uncomfortable with suddenly being free.
Could it be said that he really has a life of hard work?
No, he is obviously a person with great luck. Shouldn't a person with great luck have all kinds of wonderful things happening around him one after another?
After about a cup of tea, I saw Wangcai coming out with the prepared pancakes.
But Zhao Xun noticed that there was only one plate and one pancake.
The scene became a little awkward for a while.
Uh, Wangcai, I'm with Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan now, how do you want us to divide this pancake?
Zhao Xun was really helpless for a moment.
Wangcai obviously noticed this, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Oh, the third senior brother is here too. I actually spread out a few more pancakes just now, but the pancakes are either missing or burnt. Basically
This is the only one that's pretty good. So, Third Senior Brother, just make do with it."
"..."
"How to make do with it?"
"You and Brother Mingyun split one, how else can we make do with it?"
Wangcai was obviously speechless.
"But this pancake..."
"That's all..."
Seeing how embarrassing the situation was, Zhao Xun stepped forward to rescue him and said, "I'll sort it out."
I saw Zhao Xun immediately using his hand-tearing technique and tearing the pancakes apart.
For a moment he felt a fragrant feeling.
Well, yes, the aroma of pancakes is all spread out at this moment.
The air is filled with the smell of sauce.
This sauce must have been prepared by Wang Cai just now. It tastes different from all the sauces Zhao Xun has smelled before.
It's simply refreshing.
"Wow, it's easy to make people fall in love with it just by smelling it. These pancakes must be delicious."
Zhao Xun is now full of expectations for Wangcai’s pancakes.
Although Wangcai's pancakes don't look very good, the food is not for admiring, but for eating.
"Come on, Third Senior Brother, you should also have a taste."
Zhao Xun handed the torn half of the pancake to his third senior brother Long Qingquan, and then personally stuffed the other half of the pancake into his mouth.
In an instant, his mouth was filled with fragrance.
"Wow, it really smells so good."
Just as Zhao Xun predicted before, this aroma is simply indescribable and indescribable. Obviously, this is the sauce that Wangcai made himself. Pancakes without sauce have no soul, and there is no sauce.
Pancakes without sauce have no future. Pancakes without sauce are impossible to win the favor of diners.
Zhao Xun can only say that Wangcai’s pancake sauce is perfectly prepared, exactly what Zhao Xun ordered.
For a moment he felt a unique feeling.
"Haha, do you like it? If you like it, eat more."
Um?
Zhao Xun was not calm after hearing this.
I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to say this, prosperous wealth. If you like it, just eat more?
Then you have to make more. Now you have successfully made only one pancake. Third senior brother Long Qingquan and I have to share one pancake between us. How can we have the chance to eat more.
"Wangcai, why don't you hurry up and make a few more pancakes? That's it? It's not enough for us to eat."
"Well, it seems so. Brother Mingyun, don't worry. I'll go and make a few more pictures."
After receiving the affirmation, Wangcai became energetic for a while. What he expected most was to receive affirmation.
As long as you get affirmation, nothing else matters.
As long as he can get recognition, he will be able to work hard and be full of fighting spirit and hope.
...
...
After seeing Wangcai leave, Zhao Xun said to Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan: "Look, Third Senior Brother, look at it, human potential is endless. We have always underestimated Wangcai's ability in the past. But in fact,
Wangcai's ability is quite outstanding. I think it is really a pity that Wangcai has such a talent for cooking, but he wasted it on doing business before. But fortunately, God opened his eyes, and Wangcai finally got it.
An opportunity to cook. This time, it is equivalent to opening another window for Wangcai. If Wangcai can devote more energy to cooking, I believe that Wangcai will be able to become a big brother in a short time.
Cooking."
"Haha, who can say otherwise? At first I thought you were blindly confident in Wangcai. But after tasting the pancakes he made, I understood what it means to be influenced and what it means to be influenced by one's eyes and ears. After all, Wangcai is with you.
After being with him for so long, you have cooked so many delicacies for him. Even if he has not been taught by you step by step, he should still be able to learn from you. Well, the taste of this pancake is very authentic, I think at least
I already have your nine points of charm."
Zhao Xun was a little surprised for a moment when his third senior brother Long Qingquan gave such a high evaluation.
"Nine points, there are actually nine points?"
"Yes, it is basically difficult for a layman to tell the truth from the false. Thanks to a person like me who is extremely experienced, I can see clearly and clearly with just one glance. It can be said that Wangcai made this pancake
It is really very similar to the pancakes you made, but it is slightly lacking in some details. But it is not a big problem. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to achieve something."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan was really relieved at this time.
The rise of wealth allowed him and his younger brother Zhao Xun to have more rest time.
Although cooking is an extremely wonderful thing, and although cooking is something that can make people feel transcendent and happy, it cannot be done every day or every once in a while.
If you really do it every day, no one can bear it.
Long Qingquan has a deep understanding of this.
"Haha, I hope Wangcai can take over our mantle and carry forward the academy's food culture. Oh, by the way, third senior brother, do you think that although Wangcai is not from the academy, he essentially has a trait unique to the academy's disciples?
Woolen cloth?"
"Well...when you say that, it seems true..."
Long Qingquan said with emotion: "This boy has an energy that refuses to admit defeat. I admire this energy very much."
"Well, isn't the characteristic of all academy disciples the drive to not admit defeat? I think it is really not easy to maintain this state."
Zhao Xun is very optimistic about Wangcai. He firmly believes that one day Wangcai can take up the banner of cooking in the academy.
It may not be easy to carry this flag, but as long as you have wealth, ideals and ambitions, you still have a good chance of achieving it.
"Well, now I am even more looking forward to the second pancake he spreads out. Tsk, tsk, tsk, the fragrance will linger on my lips and teeth. The taste is really unforgettable."
At this moment, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan seemed to be really attracted by the smell of the pancakes.
At this moment, he could not forget every scent of the pancake.
Fortunately, Wangcai didn't keep them waiting for too long, and he rushed over with plates in his hands soon after.
This time he had two pancakes on his plate.
The sharp-eyed Zhao Xun immediately determined this extremely critical information.
so far so good...
Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
If there was only one pancake, he would have to use his hand-tearing method again.
Zhao Xun didn't want to start tearing up Dafa in front of so many people.
This is indeed unbecoming of elegance.
The reserve expected of academy disciples still needs to be maintained.
Temperament is something that sometimes needs to be carefully controlled.
"Um..."
Zhao Xun took a closer look and realized why the pancake was black.
"Wangcai, are you sure you didn't burn the pancakes this time?"
Zhao Xun can be said to have lingering fears about this.
Because the ratio of pancakes to batter in Wangcai stall seems to be particularly high.
"Of course not. Brother Mingyun, these are pancakes made with black rice."
Wangcai rolled his eyes and said.
"Uh, black rice. No wonder, no wonder..."
Black lines immediately appeared on Zhao Xun's face. Good guy...
"It turns out to be black rice. No wonder."
Black rice is really the most suitable for making pancakes. It has a much more delicate texture than white rice, and it has a very unique light fragrance.
"Come and try Third Senior Brother's black rice pancakes, they have a unique taste."
Zhao Xun was looking forward to the black rice pancakes made by Wangcai, and he was not disappointed after taking one bite.
Soft and mellow, it was exactly what he remembered.
Zhao Xun has not tasted such authentic black rice pancakes for a long time.
It can be said that all the flavors are exactly the same as what he remembers.
Wangcai can really be said to have been restored by God this time.
Zhao Xun was touched for a moment.
Wong Cai, Wong Cai, how can you make a pancake so delicious? How can you make a pancake so fragrant?
“Delicious, really delicious...”
After Long Qingquan tasted the black rice pancakes made by Wangcai, he repeatedly gave thumbs up.
It's really fragrant.
A person who can make pancakes to this level is really almost done.
How much further can it be done?
Anyway, it seemed to Long Qingquan that it was almost impossible.
Wangcai has almost exploited all the potential of pancakes.
It's really wonderful, so wonderful.
At this moment, Long Qingquan only wanted to do one thing, and that was to eat the entire pancake without hesitation.
It would be a sin to leave such a delicious pancake with only a few crumbs.
Zhao Xun was no exception and ate happily.
Wangcai looked on, feeling very pleased.
It's not easy, it's not easy.
The dishes he cooked were finally recognized, and it was unanimously recognized by Brother Mingyun and Third Senior Brother.
It is really not easy to be recognized by the two master chefs in the academy.
Wangcai now has some confidence. He feels that he has the opportunity to make more delicious food in the near future.
...
...
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong's spirit has recovered a lot recently. It turns out that Master Huiyan's action of sealing his tendons is quite useful. This at least ensures that his true energy will not leak out and will not be messed up in a short period of time.
Channel.
Otherwise, with his current cultivation physique, it won't take long for him to become exhausted or even unable to support himself.
His foundation is still too thin.
Compared with those who started practicing cultivation at a young age, the gap between Emperor Xianlong in this regard is particularly obvious.
But Emperor Xianlong apparently had not given up hope yet.
Because in his opinion, as long as Master Huiyan is with him, he will always have hope.
Master Huiyan is like his lucky star, always able to bring him surprises.
As long as Emperor Xianlong follows Master Huiyan closely, basically nothing big will go wrong.
Emperor Xianlong was in a good mood today, so he wanted to take a walk in the imperial garden.
Calculating carefully, he had not walked in the imperial garden for several months.
The main reason was that there were so many major events that happened during this period that Emperor Xianlong could not spare any time.
Even if he could find time, he was no longer in the mood.
However, Emperor Xianlong was obviously in a good mood now, and he decided to display the Imperial Garden.
...
...
Theoretically, the emperor could go wherever he wanted at any time.
For Emperor Xianlong, the Royal Garden was truly an almost perfect choice.
but...
When Emperor Xianlong came to the Royal Garden, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
I saw a pair of palace maids and eunuchs making love to each other in a pavilion shaded by flowers and plants.
Emperor Xianlong was furious for a moment.
In theory, there was no other male in the palace except the emperor.
Of course, the guards are excepted, but generally speaking, guards are not allowed to enter the harem.
This is of course to ensure the purity of the royal bloodline.
But even so, there will still be some court ladies who pair up with eunuchs and become fake couples.
Although it is impossible to be a real couple, it can comfort the soul to a certain extent.
Emperor Xianlong was tacitly aware of this, and he did not stop it with any force.
As long as it doesn't happen under his nose.
Because although the palace maid had no title, she was still the woman of Emperor Xianlong in theory.
Since she was Emperor Xianlong's woman, she was naturally protected by Emperor Xianlong.
"Take them down."
Emperor Xianlong scolded him sternly, and then some eunuchs came forward and took down the pair of eunuchs and palace maids who were facing each other.
"In the palace, in broad daylight, people do such unethical things. Whoever comes, kill them with a stick."
Emperor Xianlong's eyes flashed with a fierce look at this moment, which instantly frightened the eunuchs and palace maids and kowtowed to admit their mistake.
"My slave is at fault, my slave is guilty. Please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, please spare your life. Your Majesty, please spare your life. I will never dare to do this again."
For them, Emperor Xianlong's words could determine their life or death.
So their only hope now is to pray that Emperor Xianlong can have some compassion.
Unfortunately, Emperor Xianlong had no intention of letting them go. He waved his hand and said, "Take them away. Don't put them in front of me. They will be in the way and cause trouble."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch immediately dragged away the two eunuchs and palace maids who were facing each other.
After they were dragged far away, someone picked up the special board for the court staff and hit them hard on their buttocks and legs.
A series of miserable wailing sounds were intertwined with the muffled sound of the board hitting the skin, but Emperor Xianlong was not in the mood to visit the garden anymore.
He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and drove back to the palace.
Emperor Xianlong would definitely not be in a good mood if such an incident happened for no reason.
After returning to the Nuan Pavilion of Zichen Palace, Emperor Xianlong issued an order to conduct a thorough investigation and self-examination to ensure that similar incidents would not happen again.
Originally, Emperor Xianlong thought that eating food was just a way for palace maids and eunuchs to soothe their souls, but after seeing it today, he felt extremely disgusted.
He absolutely couldn't stand the maids and eunuchs behaving like this in the palace.
If he can't control the academy, can he not even control the slaves in the palace?
If these guys dare to disobey his will, they will only die.
...
...
Western Region, Anxi Protectorate.
"Daduhu, the kings of these countries have expressed their willingness to submit to our Anxi Governor's Mansion and to the Great Zhou Dynasty. My subordinates have expressed their gratitude to them. However, it is up to the Daduhu to decide how to respond specifically."
Jia Xingwen hugged Liu Lin and reported in a deep voice.
"Um..."
Liu Lin cleared his throat and said: "This is a good thing. These Western Region Lords and sects all admire our Central Plains culture and hope to be nourished by it. So they naturally accept our rule.
.I am now thinking that if I can use this to form propaganda, I will make the entire Western Region submit to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Conquering the enemy without fighting is the most ideal situation.
Without war there would be no casualties.
If we can recover the Western Region under such circumstances, that would naturally be the best.
But Liu Lin also knew that this was quite difficult.
As long as it is in the Western Regions, in addition to the peace faction, there are also the main war faction and the wall-riding faction.
The number of these factions is not large, and the Peace faction does not have the upper hand in this regard.
Of course, after the last battle, some of the wall-riding factions began to waver, and they were more inclined to surrender to the Anxi Protectorate and to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, they haven't really made up their minds yet. How to make them make up their minds is something Liu Lin must consider now.
"Well, what the Great Protector said is absolutely true. In the opinion of my subordinates, we might as well give these monarchs some preferential treatment, so that those countries that are sitting on the fence can see the benefits of being close to me, the Great Zhou. In this way, they will definitely rush to attach themselves to me.
I am approaching the Great Zhou Dynasty, and when the time comes, it will be just around the corner for the Great Protectorate to regain control of the Western Regions."
What Jia Xingwen said was actually what Liu Lin thought.
At present, it seems that winning the support of the fence-sitters is quite critical.
If they can win the support of the fence-sitters, then basically the war faction will be left alone.
At that time, Liu Lin only needs to climb high and shout, and he is very likely to directly regain the Western Region.
"This general thinks so too. But how should I give this preferential treatment? Xingwen, do you have any good ideas?"
"Well..."
Jia Xingwen pondered for a while and said: "We can allow them to conduct tribute trade to the imperial court, so that they can officially go to Chang'an to buy and sell, and make a lot of profits."
"Well, this is really a good idea."
Liu Lin, the guardian of the capital, said leisurely while gently stroking his beard.
"A good idea, a really good idea."
"Daduhu, there must be a restriction on this. For example, only those who have done this before a certain time can enjoy this treatment. Otherwise, if someone sees the benefits and deliberately takes advantage of it, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Daduhu?"
Liu Lin thought about it carefully. Yes, it was Jia Xingwen who had considered everything carefully and meticulously.
Everything must have rules and everything must have a deadline.
If there is no deadline, then everyone can see the results after others have done it before deciding whether to follow up.
Since then, it has been so helpless.
Liu Lin knew that tribute trade was not a trivial matter, and it was not even something he could agree to on his own.
Without the approval of the imperial court and the consent of His Majesty, it would be impossible for this matter to take place.
But should he follow Jia Xingwen’s suggestion?
Should he work hard to promote this tribute trade?
After thinking about it carefully, Liu Lin felt that it was not a bad idea.
why?
Because although theoretically speaking, vassal states participating in tribute trade need to obtain the approval of the imperial court and the emperor, in practice this is not the case.
Because these vassal states are generally quite far from the Central Plains and Chang'an City. With such a long distance, it is very difficult to communicate smoothly.
Furthermore, no matter how we communicate during this period, there is still a time lag.
Therefore, usually these vassal states first find the local commander of the imperial army, such as the Jiedushi.
Only after they got the approval or guarantee from the Jiedu Envoy did they start thinking about paying tribute to the imperial court.
Of course it's not a one-sided tribute. How many fools would do such a stupid thing?
Instead, the vassal state will receive a reward from the court after paying tribute to the court. Generally speaking, the court will reward the vassal state ten times the value of the tribute paid by the vassal state to show the majesty of its suzerain state.
Of course, these rewards are still small amounts of money. The main reason why vassal states pay tribute is to obtain the power of Kanhe trade. What does Kanhe trade mean? It means that the suzerain state issues a voucher to the clan state that pays tribute to it. The clan state follows this voucher.
To conduct trade. The amount and quantity they purchased were customized, and the imperial court regulated what they could buy and sell and how much they could buy and sell.
Generally speaking, the amount given by this kind of joint trade will be very large, and it is also to protect the interests of the clan countries, so that they can be happier and pay tribute to the court more heartfeltly.
After all, for the imperial court, all they care about is face.
Once you have face, nothing else matters.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, Liu Lin could agree to trade with these Western Territory Lords and the kings of sent countries in advance.
As long as he reported it to the court and the emperor afterwards, theoretically the court and the emperor would not say anything more.
Because for them, they also hope to see everything turn for the better, and they also hope to see the Zhou Dynasty gain more and more support from vassal states.
So there is nothing wrong with Liu Lin doing this, at least there won't be too much risk, and he won't get burned.
As for the direction in which things will develop from now on, Liu Lin doesn't know.
He only knew that he had a clear conscience in doing so.
He only knew that he was doing this for the sake of the court.
"Okay, then you will draw up a detailed charter on this matter, and I will report it to the court. At the same time, I will also make it clear to the monarchs of these lords and sects in the Western Regions. As long as they sincerely submit and support the court, then the court will
I won’t treat them badly.”
...
...
Zhongnan Mountain, Academy.
Zhao Xun received a very bad news, that is, the half-orc chief Ruota and the troll leader Hanik suddenly launched a surprise attack on the werewolves.
The raid was launched so quickly that Zhao Xun had no time to react.
Zhao Xun was very angry at this moment. Why couldn't he live happily in a few days?
This is not the first time that the orcs and trolls have been hostile to the werewolves. They caused a conflict last time. Thanks to Zhao Xun's intervention, the conflict was prevented from escalating. Now again?
For a moment, Zhao Xun didn't know what to say.
These two guys are really troublemakers.
After calming down, you will find that orcs and trolls are actually very particular about causing trouble.
They dare not take action against powerful tribes such as humans and elves, but only dare to bully weak ones, such as werewolves.
But why are there always werewolves?
How did the werewolf tribe offend them? How did the werewolf tribe fail them?
For a moment, Zhao Xun felt really confused.
His confusion made him have to think carefully about what to do next.
If there is even the slightest mistake, it will have immeasurable consequences for the entire academy alliance.
This is definitely not what Zhao Xun wants to see.
He hopes that the Academy Alliance will be a united alliance, and that members of the alliance can tolerate and understand each other, rather than criticizing each other or fighting each other.
The sense of atmosphere is really important.
If there is no sense of atmosphere, no matter how much effort has been put in before, it will always feel like it will fall short.
So Zhao Xun decided that at this time he must step in to mediate, and he must step forward and play the role of a top alliance leader.
...
...
"So why did they suddenly attack you?"
After Zhao Xun arrived at the werewolf tribe's camp, he took the initiative to ask Jessaka, the leader of the werewolf tribe.
He wanted to figure out what happened, and he wanted to figure out why these orcs and trolls launched a sudden attack on the werewolves. If he didn't figure this out, all his efforts would be meaningless.
If he didn't understand this, he wouldn't even know how to talk to the orcs and troll leaders.
"How do I know? How do I know?"
Jessaka smiled bitterly and said: "I was sleeping that day, and my tribe woke me up and said that there was an enemy coming to attack. I was still wondering at the time, because our camp was relatively far back in the Zhongnan Valley. Even if the Corruptors sent troops to attack,
It's impossible for them to attack us all at once. So there must be some misunderstanding. I hurriedly ran to take a look, and guess what... Hahaha, the ones attacking us turned out to be our allies, and they were actually trolls.
With the orcs."
"Well..."
Zhao Xun cleared his throat and said: "Keep calm. You must stay calm at this time. In my opinion, the orcs and trolls must have been provoked by others. Otherwise, they would not suddenly attack you and your tribe. Of course.
, I understand that what they did was wrong. Even if they are provoked by others, they should not attack their allies. I will go to them and have a good talk."
Zhao Xun reassured Jessaka with his kind words, then took a deep breath and walked to the orc station not far away.
To be honest, the orc camp is not very far from the werewolf camp, because there are too many members in the entire academy alliance, and it is almost impossible to separate them all with such a large number.
So the best solution is to set up bans between them.
But Zhao Xun didn't think of this at the time. In other words, Zhao Xun didn't think that members of the same alliance would have such a big conflict.
Now it seems that it was indeed a lack of consideration on his part.
In fact, Zhao Xun did not fully understand these tribes from the Ellen Lore continent.
In fact, a lot of Zhao Xun's knowledge comes from some classics in the library.
Zhao Xun learned about the history of these tribes by reading books and chewing tomes, and in this way he found out why they suddenly had so many grievances.
But even now, he still can't actually figure out what happened during this period.
So Zhao Xun decided to go to the orc camp to inquire in person.
After learning that Zhao Xun was coming, the half-orc chief Ruota certainly felt guilty.
But it was impossible for him to turn Zhao Xun away, so he still chose to see Zhao Xun.
The moment he saw Zhao Xun, Ruota's mood was quite complicated.
"Old friend, welcome to your arrival."
Ruota stretched out his hands to hug Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "Welcome, I don't think you look like you are welcoming me."
Zhao Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Tell me, Ruota. Why did you go with the trolls to attack the werewolves? Didn't you promise me before that you would never do it again? This time you
Why did you break your promise?"
What Zhao Xun said was correct. Ruota had indeed promised Zhao Xun before that he would not make the same mistake again. But everyone saw the result. Soon after, the werewolves were violently attacked.
This attack was even more violent than the previous attack.
Because the entire werewolf clan has endured a huge impact and taken huge risks.
If Zhao Xun hadn't arrived in time, we don't know how the situation would have developed.
This is certainly not the situation Zhao Xun wants to see.
But at the moment, he wanted to find out what the orcs and trolls were thinking.
Orcs and trolls are both relatively indifferent tribes. In comparison, orcs are easier to communicate with.
So this time Zhao Xun took the initiative to find half-orcs, not so-called trolls.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know why or what happened?"
Ruota, the leader of the orcs, looked troubled.
What?
Zhao Xun felt unbelievable when he heard this.
He doesn’t know what happened? He doesn’t know what all this is for?
This is simply a joke.
We are all adults, and the impulse to give it a try is understandable, but you must still know what you are doing when you are impulsive. It is impossible to know nothing after the impulse, and it is impossible to forget everything after the impulse.
This is not realistic at all.
So in Zhao Xun's view, Orc Chief Ruota was lying.
"Do you think I will believe it? Ruota, if there is anything we can tell you openly and honestly, there is really no need to lie here. Does it make any sense for you to lie to me here? It's better to say it openly and openly.
This way everyone will feel better."
Zhao Xun knew that no matter what, he would take the initiative to open up Ruota's heart.
Otherwise, with Ruota's attitude, it seems possible to cause harm to other tribes again at any time.
This is definitely not what Zhao Xun wants to see.
He hoped that this conflict would serve as a warning to Ruota and the orcs, and that they would understand what should be done and what should not be done.
If it is not possible to ensure the stability of the corresponding matters, and if it is not possible to ensure that these tribal leaders know the appropriateness, then it will be really difficult for Zhao Xun to maintain the stability of this alliance.
The stability of the alliance requires the support of every member. The stability of the alliance also requires the support of every member.
The stability of the alliance requires the cooperation of each member.
If everyone had the attitude that I only care about their own interests, then Zhao Xun would find it really difficult to move forward.
Even as a mediator, it was difficult for him to play his due role.
So even if he has a tougher attitude now, he still has to explain this matter clearly in front of Ruota. He also hopes that Ruota can act more openly and be more responsible.
You still have to admit it when you need to admit it, and you still need to express it when you need to express it.
Anyway, from Zhao Xun's point of view, this is actually not a big deal.
As long as you admit your mistake, as long as you explain the situation, as long as you can apologize to the werewolf tribe, then there is still something to talk about.
But if Ruota was bitten to death like he is now, and he lost control of his emotions at the time and didn't even remember what happened, how could Zhao Xun mediate?
"Well, if you don't believe me, I can't help it, but what I can tell you is that at that moment, my brain really went blank. I didn't know anything at the time, and I completely surrendered to my will.
Instinct is acting. I believe that my people, including the trolls, are like this too. Our brains are like being controlled by others, can you understand what I mean?"
At this moment, Zhao Xun was really numb.
Is there such an operation?
To be honest, Zhao Xun didn't believe it.
Can someone control their thoughts through the air? Control their thoughts through the air?
This is really weird.
"You don't want to say that the person who controls your thoughts and your brain is a corruptor, right?"
"I didn't say that, but at present, it seems that they are most likely to take action."
The half-orc leader Ruota coughed, and then continued: "The power of the Corruptors is that they can completely ignore the opponent's form and directly invade their consciousness. After they invade the opponent's consciousness, they have two choices. The other
The first is to destroy his consciousness, and the second is to control his consciousness. I think you should be able to understand."
Ruota is referring to the Corruptor's invasion of Zhao Xun's dream.
Zhao Xun himself was not surprised by this, so naturally he was not afraid of being mentioned.
"Well, I actually have some experience with this matter. But my consciousness was only invaded, and my consciousness was not controlled."
"This shows that there are two possibilities. One is that your own consciousness is relatively strong and can resist the invasion of the corrosive. The second is that the corrosive did not think of controlling your consciousness at the time."
Zhao Xun thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there were only two so-called possibilities. He himself was more inclined to the former.
Because in his opinion, it is unlikely that the Corruptor does not want to control Zhao Xun's consciousness.
After all, Zhao Xun is also the leader of the Academy Alliance. If he can control Zhao Xun's consciousness, the benefits will obviously be greater than controlling the consciousness of the half-orc leader Ruota.
So why is the Corruptor willing to control Ruota's consciousness but not Zhao Xun's?
This is unreasonable.
So it can only be said that Zhao Xun's own consciousness and consciousness control are quite powerful.
With such a powerful consciousness system, Zhao Xun doesn't have to worry about these problems at all.
At this moment, all Zhao Xun can do is to control all his emotions as much as possible and ensure that everything is under his control.
So what is Ruota's problem? Is it because he has completely lost control of his consciousness?
"Tell me how you felt at that time."
Although Zhao Xun does not believe what Ruota said now, he still wants to hear Ruota's explanation for what will happen next.
"Didn't I just say it once? At that moment, my mind went blank. At that moment, I was completely unaware of what was happening. At that moment, I completely succumbed to my own instinct."
Ruota shook his head and said: "Besides the Corruptor, I really can't think of anyone else who has such a powerful ability. Apart from the Corruptor, I really can't think of anyone else who has such a powerful power. The Corruptor is really the most capable of invading people.
Corruptors are those who have the sea of consciousness and consciousness and are the ones most able to attack this part of people’s details.”
Zhao Xun has basically understood Ruota's logic now.
Ruota now believes that his consciousness was controlled at that time.
And he has determined that the person controlling his consciousness is the Corruptor.
How can we continue talking about this?
What Zhao Xun hopes now is not to bite Ruota to death, but to gain a more comprehensive understanding.
If Ruota was really killed by the Corruptor, then he couldn't go back and explain to the werewolf leader Jessaka, right?
Could it be that he wanted to tell Jessica, "Jessica, don't be angry."
The Orc who attacked you had his consciousness controlled by the Corruptor.
So attacking you was not their original intention, it was the intention of the corruptors. They have now apologized to you, and that is the end of the matter.
Zhao Xun can't do this. It's unfair to the honest man - the werewolf.
Zhao Xun is not a person who bullies honest people, so he must find out what is going on behind this incident.
Even if it was really done by the Corruptor, even if it was really the Corruptor who manipulated the consciousness of the orcs and trolls, then he still needs to figure out the deep-seated reasons behind it. He can't just touch upon it, and he can't just stop there.
This is unfair to the werewolves, and even more unfair to the Academy Alliance.
Since Zhao Xun wants to be the leader of this academy alliance, he must be responsible for every member of the alliance. He must find out the truth of everything under the possible conditions. The truth may not be as he imagined.
It's so clear, but it should be as clear as possible.
The truth is important, but what is more important is what is behind the truth. Now Zhao Xun wants to sort out all the clues and figure out what happened during this period.
"What should I say so that you can believe it? How about you ask someone who is proficient in consciousness control to take a look and see if there are any traces of invasion remaining in my sea of consciousness?"
The orc leader's unintentional words made Zhao Xun's eyes light up.
Yes, this method seems to sound good.
If you can enter the sea of consciousness of the orcs and figure out what happened at that time, it seems that you will be able to know some details more clearly next.
"Well, wait a moment, I'll call a few people over."
Anyway, Zhao Xun has made up his mind at this moment, that is, he must thoroughly clarify the situation.
Only by thoroughly understanding the situation will he feel at ease.
So Zhao Xun decided to call his mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi, who was proficient in this art, and his sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou.
The two of them can be said to be the most proficient people in the entire academy today.
In particular, my mentor Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi was extremely proficient in the art of observing the mind and the art of observing the mind.
With him leading the way, Zhao Xun believed that he would be able to obtain very useful information.
...
...
"You brat, you brought me here and you didn't explain clearly what happened. What can I say about you?"
At this moment, Wu Quanyi was obviously very dissatisfied.
In his impression, his disciple Zhao Xun shouldn't be like this. Why did he suddenly become unfamiliar to him?
"Teacher, please be considerate. The incident happened suddenly and I really had no choice. Besides, don't you think I called the Sixth Senior Brother here too?"
"Huh, it's just because you called the sixth son of the academy that I found it even weirder. Why are you calling so many people? Could it be that something big really happened?"
"Well..."
Zhao Xun felt a little dumbfounded for a while.
Look at what his mentor said, how should he handle it?
If there is something big, something big must have happened, but it is not that relevant to the teacher. So in this case, the teacher will definitely think that it is not a big thing.
"Let's call it that."
"What do you mean, let's just leave it at that."
Upon hearing this, his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi started blowing his beard and staring.
"You brat, you really need to speak clearly. If you don't speak clearly, I don't even know what you mean."
"puff..."
Sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou beside him couldn't hold himself any longer.
"That Taoist Qinglian, I think you should spare my junior brother for now. Look at how miserable my junior brother is now, he is almost out of shape. So I think you should control it as much as possible.
Emotions, as long as I control my emotions, I think everything else is easy to do."
"Well..."
"You already know everything when you get to the scene, so why bother asking here and there. If you ask this now, my junior brother can't give you an exact answer. Do you think so?"
Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou's rescue at the critical moment was quite crucial. Zhao Xun was very moved after hearing this.
Normally I don't see Sixth Senior Brother being so warm-hearted and helpful. But today it opened Zhao Xun's eyes.
It's not easy, it's really not easy.
Next, Zhao Xun would like to thank Sixth Senior Brother.
"Okay, okay, for the sake of the sixth son of the academy interceding for you, I will not embarrass you for now. But brat, you can perform well in a while, and you must not let me come here in vain.
.”
"Don't worry. There must be a reason for my disciple to call you here. When you arrive, you will know that there must be room for you to play and a place for you to be useful."
Zhao Xun thought that coaxing his mentor was like coaxing a child. It was really difficult for him.
At this moment, Zhao Xun must perform almost perfectly, and must not let his mentor catch the slightest problem.
...
...
Soon, Zhao Xun and others returned to the orcs' station.
At this moment, the orc chief Ruota has been waiting for him for a long time.
Zhao Xun came here with his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi and his sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou. After clearing his throat, he introduced to Ruota: "This is my mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, and this is my sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou.
They are all people who are proficient in mind control, and we can let them try it later."
Ruota nodded and said, "Then let's get started."
Hmm? So direct?
Zhao Xun was somewhat surprised when he heard this.
As far as the current situation is concerned, it is indeed a bit beyond his expectation.
But it’s better to be direct, at least it can prove whether Ruota is lying.
"Teacher, who do you think will come first, you or the Sixth Senior Brother?"
Zhao Xun turned to his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi with a smile.
The reason why he first asked his mentor, Taoist Master Qinglian, was to give him the choice.
If his mentor is willing to come first, then Zhao Xun can ask his mentor to come first. If his mentor doesn't want to come first, then Zhao Xun can ask his sixth brother to come.
All in all, all in all, Zhao Xun gave his mentor enough face.
There is nothing we can do. If Zhao Xun doesn't do this, his mentor will make him extremely annoyed.
Zhao Xun recalled the scene just now and felt that his ears were calloused.
This is really unavoidable.
"Well, my teacher will come first."
Wu Quanyi, his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest, was very satisfied with Zhao Xun's words. He nodded lightly and then walked up to the half-orc chief Ruota.
Taoist Qinglian placed the palm of his right hand on Ruota's head, then closed his eyes tightly and recited some mantra silently, and then entered Ruota's consciousness!
All this happened so fast that even Ruota didn't realize what happened.
The sixth senior brother Lu Guangdou on the side sighed with emotion: "Taoist Master Qinglian is too fast, Jiang is still old and hot."
"Sixth Brother, my mentor should be able to clearly see everything in Ruota's sea of consciousness."
"It's hard to say. Junior brother, if Ruota is from our Great Zhou world, then with Taoist Qinglian's power, he can definitely see it clearly. But this Ruota is not from the Great Zhou world.
, he is a tribesman from the Alan Lore continent. We are separated by two worlds. Although some things are in common, they are not exactly the same. So how clearly can Taoist Qinglian see, and to what extent can he see?
, at present, no one can know at all.”
"Well..."
Zhao Xun felt a little stunned for a moment.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with what Senior Brother Sixth said.
So what exactly is the situation? Can the mentor really figure out what is in the sea of consciousness of the half-orc leader Ruota?
For now, we can only wait and see.
"Well..."
Zhao Xun worked hard and took a deep breath.
For now, he can only wait and hope for a good result.
After about a cup of tea, his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi withdrew from Ruota's sea of consciousness without hesitation.
Zhao Xun immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Teacher, how are you doing? Can you see clearly?"
Taoist Qinglian shook his head and said: "No, it's too chaotic. I don't know why his sea of consciousness is so chaotic. It's like a reed swamp, like a forest. I'm already extremely confused."
I tried my best, but I still couldn’t see clearly.”
"Well..."
For a moment, Zhao Xun felt helpless.
Looking at it this way, the situation is actually somewhat unexpected.
"If you can't even see clearly, my mentor, it proves that the problem is not small."
Zhao Xun knew that the more confusing the situation, the more problematic it was.
It seems that this is probably in line with what Ruota, the orc leader, said.
Only when the Corruptors invade with all their strength, and only when the Corruptors deliberately set up this enchantment array after the invasion, will top masters like their mentor Wu Quanyi be helpless.
"You can't say that, Academy Six, you should come and take a look."
Taoist Qinglian turned to Wu Quanyi who was standing aside, and said leisurely while stroking his beard.
"Uh, okay. Then I'll give it a try too."
Lu Guangdou's pressure is definitely not that great now.
Because Taoist Master Qinglian has already tried it. Even if he fails, there will be no loss of face.
What Lu Guangdou has to do now is to try his best.
He believed that there should still be a good result.
Of course, it depends on the specific performance.
Lu Guangdou will not force himself, but he will not set strict limits for himself.
He will only work hard to show his strength, and will only work hard to explore the truth. That's all.
...
...
When Lu Guangdou entered the consciousness of the half-orc chief Ruota, he was shocked by the sight in front of him.
Lu Guangdou never imagined that a space would be so chaotic and chaotic.
Everywhere you looked there were shelters and fog.
Basically, Lu Guangdou couldn't see anything clearly at all!
I behaved obediently, no wonder Taoist Master Qinglian’s reaction just now was so helpless.
Even if you were to look at this from a deity, you wouldn't be able to tell anything about it.
At this moment, Lu Guangdou was very helpless. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Junior brother, there is nothing I can do. The situation is too complicated. I can't see it clearly anyway."
After he withdrew from Ruota's sea of consciousness, he spread his hands and said: "But from what we can see so far, it seems that his sea of consciousness has been invaded by someone, and it is possible that his consciousness has also been wiped out.
Part of it has gone, so that we cannot determine the true identity of the person who invaded his sea of consciousness."
After hearing this, Zhao Xun was shocked.
Invading the consciousness and then erasing part of the memory is really similar to the Corruptor method.
If you say so, it can indeed prove from the side that the Corruptor is highly suspicious.
Of course, even if this is the case, it can only be said that the corruptor is suspected, but it cannot be said that the corruptor must have done it.
Zhao Xun is an extremely rigorous person. Since he is a rigorous person, he must analyze problems from a rational perspective and cannot act randomly according to his own temper.
"Well, I understand."
"How about it?"
Ruota obviously wanted to know what happened.
"Both of them have just looked at it and didn't see any clues. But they both said that your sea of consciousness has indeed been invaded."
Zhao Xun has always said what he has to say, and will not deliberately hide it, let alone deliberately misinterpret or twist it.
"But we have no way to tell now that this was done by the Corruptor just from this."
"Who else is there besides the Corruptor? You can think of it this way, who will benefit from doing this? Who will get the greatest benefit from doing this? Who else can be apart from the Corruptor?"
Ruota obviously found it difficult to understand that Zhao Xun would fall into confusion at this juncture.
"Think about it. If you can drive a wedge between the two armies, it will be beneficial to the development of the situation. Corruptors are not foolhardy, so at present everything should be dominated by Corruptors.
."
Ruota seemed a little excited, and Zhao Xun pressed his hands down to signal him to stay calm.
"Don't get excited. Don't get excited at this time. Being excited won't solve any problems, and it will make you completely confused emotionally."
Zhao Xun knew that Ruota must stay calm at this time.
Only by thinking calmly and analyzing problems calmly can we find out the truth of the matter.
If Ruota has always been in this semi-manic state, it will definitely be difficult to achieve a breakthrough.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but he hopes Ruota can stay calm.
The current situation is not that bad for the entire academy alliance. But for the moment, it should be carefully considered.
"If it doesn't work, let's go find Hanek."
Zhao Xun had no choice but to implement an alternative plan.
It was not only the orcs who invaded with Ruota, but also the trolls.
The trolls are quite powerful, and their power cannot be ignored.
And compared to orcs, trolls are obviously more violent.
Maybe there will be some residue in his sea of consciousness.
"If you must go, then I will accompany you to have a look. However, I suggest you not to go. Hanike is not as easy to talk to as I am, and his bad temper makes me unbearable sometimes.
"
At this moment, Ruota said, somewhat dumbfounded.
To be able to receive such an evaluation from Jota is enough to show that Hanik has quite a temper.
But Zhao Xun really didn't have many choices at this time.
If he still cannot figure out the truth of the matter with a firm attitude at this moment, he is not worthy to be the leader of this academy alliance.
The current situation is actually much better than what Zhao Xun thought before.
Right now, we just need to figure out whether it is the Corruptor's fault or not.
"Let's go, then let's go see it together."
...
...
The troll camp is adjacent to the orc camp, and they can be reached within a few minutes' walk.
But when Orc Chief Ruota led Zhao Xun, Taoist Priest Qinglian, Lu Guangdou and his party to the center of the troll camp, they clearly felt that something was not right in the atmosphere.
Hanik, the leader of the troll clan, smashed the bottles and jars to pieces.
In this case, basically no troll tribe dared to approach him.
Zhao Xun couldn't help but hold his breath instinctively.
Good guy, what is going on?
What is Hanik doing?
"You guys stay here while I figure out what's going on."
Orc chief Ruota winked at Zhao Xun and others, telling them to be calm.
After all, as far as the current situation is concerned, if the troll leader Hanik really becomes violent, even Ruota may not be able to stop him.
As we all know, trolls in a violent state and trolls in a normal state are completely two different entities.
At this moment, Orc Chief Ruota must ensure everyone's safety.
"good."
Zhao Xun also knew that this was not the time to show off, so he had to stay as quiet as possible.
If you annoy the troll Harnik and let him activate berserk mode, no one will be able to reap the benefits.
Let his good brothers come forward to explore the truth first. They just need to stay here well.
"My good brother, what's wrong with you?"
Ruota, the half-orc chief, stepped forward and asked with concern.
Orcs and trolls have a partial blood relationship, and this blood bond can also allow the two parties to have a more comprehensive connection.
But at this time, the troll leader Harnik was obviously not in the mood to reminisce with Jota.
"What's wrong? Don't you know what's wrong with me? Ever since we were controlled by others and did that thing, we are being scolded in the spine all day long. It's simply impossible to survive."
At this moment, the half-orc Ruota can understand Hanik's mood.
Because he has also been questioned by others.
It's normal for alliances to have a little friction, but to mobilize a large number of troops to attack the werewolf tribe's territory like they did last time is unjustifiable.
Now the orcs and trolls are taking the blame, and they can't argue with each other.
"Good brother, do you want to wash away this injustice?"
"Of course, of course I thought about it, I even dreamed about it!"
At this moment, the troll leader Hanik patted his chest and said.
"Well, in this case, you need to cooperate with me. Someone from the academy just came. Zhao Xun came in person, bringing with him two masters from the academy. They have the ability to enter the sea of consciousness and can see our sea of consciousness clearly.
Have you been invaded? What I mean is that you let them enter your sea of consciousness and take a look. If we can get conclusive evidence that it is indeed the corrosive invaders that have invaded our sea of consciousness, then we can wash away our grievances.
."
"Well..."
Hanik fell into deep thought.
I have to say that this suggestion from Orc Chief Ruota is quite tempting.
"okay."
After some thinking, Hanek agreed with Jota's suggestion. In his opinion, it was indeed worth a try.
At least there won't be any risks.
"Which one of them will come first?"
Ruota, the half-orc chief, showed a pleased smile and turned to Zhao Xun.
