"That's about the time Wuling City was besieged by Zhuyin."
"The late emperor suddenly passed away in Chishui Palace. The prince ascended the throne in a hurry, and his foundation in the court was unstable."
"The three princes have formed cliques for many years, and there are countless hawks and dogs in the court. The prince died mysteriously on the second day after he ascended the throne, and the government and the public were in turmoil for a while."
"The Northern Wei Dynasty received news that millions of troops were stationed outside Ningzhou and invaded from time to time. The Yinsi clan in the west also invaded Xizhou. The entire Yu world was shaken by wind and rain and was on the verge of collapse."
"Thanks to King Qin Huan of Wu, he used 300,000 Qinzhou tiger and leopard cavalry to defeat the million-strong Northern Wei army, and then teamed up with Biyun City to recapture Jianyue City. This gave the world some peace of mind."
"After the master returned to the court, he wanted to find out the death of the prince, but he encountered a rebellion by the third prince's gang. After suppressing the rebellion, he beheaded the third prince at the Meridian Gate and established the fifth prince Xiao Chengxuan as emperor, with the title of Chongsheng."
Chu Zhaozhao, who was riding on horseback, frowned and talked about what happened in Dayu in the past few years. After saying this, she turned back and glared behind her, her cheeks slightly red.
"I said, can you stop sticking so tightly!"
Behind him, Chu Qingxiao looked embarrassed, but the hand he extended around Chu Zhaozhao's waist did not let go.
"I... it was my first time riding a horse, and it was shaking so much..." he whispered, looking aggrieved.
"How about I go down and walk..."
Chu Zhaozhao rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Forget it, then hold on tight."
After hearing this, Chu Qingxiao felt as if he had been granted amnesty, and quickly tightened his hand on the girl's waist, almost pressing his whole body against her back.
Such close contact made Chu Zhaozhao's cheeks feel hot and his body became a little stiff.
All this is done so that he can be safely delivered to his junior uncle!
She comforted herself like this in her heart, and then she calmed down her rapidly beating heart. Then she pulled the reins and drove the horse forward again.
Yesterday, Chu Qingxiao suddenly fainted, which frightened Chu Zhaozhao.
She quickly invited a doctor to come and treat Chu Qingxiao.
The doctor, who was over sixty years old, felt Chu Qingxiao's pulse and checked his Qi, and finally told Chu Zhaozhao: "Girl, your husband's Qi and blood are deficient, and there seems to be a miscellaneous Qi lingering in his body."
"He is weak in energy and blood. He must pay attention to his self-cultivation and not be too tired."
"When he doesn't get better, it's best to find some ways to recuperate his body and coagulate his blood. Only then can this disease be cured."
Since leaving Wuling City, Chu Zhaozhao and Chu Qingxiao have been on their way. Thinking about it now, Chu Qingxiao is no better than her in the third realm, so it is really difficult for him to follow her speed all the way.
So after much deliberation, Chu Zhaozhao spent a lot of money to rent a dark horse as Chu Qingxiao's means of transportation.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qingxiao had been leading Wuling City for most of his life and had never ridden a horse. In desperation, Chu Zhaozhao could only ride with him, which led to the embarrassing situation in front of him.
As for why not rent one more...
Among the horse dealers, the lowest-grade horses cost one tael of silver to rent for three days. Although Chu Zhaozhao had some wealth, those were used frugally by the clan to buy the elixirs she needed for her practice.
Yes, she would never use it unless absolutely necessary.
With his arms around Chu Zhaozhao, Chu Qingxiao could clearly smell the fragrance coming from the girl's body.
Chu Qingxiao's heartbeat also accelerated a bit. Although he also knew that it was inappropriate to hold Chu Zhaozhao like this, but when the horse under his crotch began to run wildly on the path, the huge bumpy feeling still made his heart tense, and he was desperate again.
He hugged Chu Zhaozhao's waist.
Although he couldn't see the expression on Chu Zhaozhao's face at the moment, he could probably imagine the blushing cheeks of the other party from the redness of his ears.
"Ahem."
Chu Qingxiao coughed twice and tried to continue the topic just now to ease the embarrassment at the moment: "I remember that the fifth prince was only three years old twelve years ago..."
"Therefore, there are many people in the government and the public today who criticize King Qin Huan, King Wu, and his powerful ministers for interfering in politics and holding the emperor hostage to order the princes."
Chu Zhaozhao said this, and at the end he added: "But I don't think His Highness King Wu is as disloyal and unjust as the government and the public say."
"He is an old friend of my family's headmaster, and we often come to meet him in the mountains. I have seen him a few times from a distance, and I feel that he is a kind-hearted person. He has also personally guided the disciples of Qingque Peak and Silver Dragon Peak. It is said that the senior brothers and sisters he mentored
Most of them have benefited a lot.”
"Half a year ago, we specially set up a ring on Qingque Peak and invited the disciples to come and discuss martial arts..."
"It's a pity that even if he overwhelms his opponent with his cultivation level, few among the younger generation can survive three moves in his hands, and only his junior uncle can fight him back and forth, but in the end he still loses."
defeat."
"Nian Shuang... is he very powerful now?" Chu Qingxiao's voice came at this time, and his tone was a little low.
When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, he didn't notice anything strange about Chu Qingxiao. He just looked excited and said with admiration: "It goes without saying!"
"My junior uncle is a swordsman genius who can't be compared to anyone in the world."
"The headmaster once said that with this son, Tianxuan Mountain will be prosperous for another three hundred years."
"At the age of twenty-eight, I touched the threshold of the Eight Realms. Now I have become the peak master of Qingque Peak. I am the youngest peak master in the 800 years since the founding of our Tianxuan Mountain sect."
"It is almost a certainty that you will achieve the realm of Shen Zhao and obtain the position of the Martial Temple in the future."
As Chu Zhaozhao said this, he suddenly realized something and his voice gradually became quieter.
"You don't have to worry..."
"Uncle Junior is not that kind of ungrateful person. She has always thought of you..."
Chu Qingxiao smiled when he heard this and said: "I'm not worried about this. I naturally understand Nian Shuang's character."
"I just feel...I look like this now..."
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, but he also understood.
She probably understood the feeling of embarrassment and uneasiness that would arise in people's hearts when meeting an old friend who was prosperous while she herself was in dire straits.
Thinking of this, she suddenly pulled the reins and looked at the sky.
They had already left Qingshi Town and had been on the road for a day, and the sky was already getting dark at this moment.
At this moment, Chu Zhaozhao turned over and dismounted, then looked up at Chu Qingxiao who looked confused, smiled, and said, "Let me teach you how to practice."
…
"Look, you and your junior uncle are childhood sweethearts."
“For most successful people, isn’t the most unforgettable thing about the person who made their heart beat in the first place?”
"Little Master Uncle is now twenty-eight years old!"
"You are still eighteen years old. When my junior uncle saw you, he immediately omitted the recollection of what you looked like when you were young. He could directly start recalling his youthful years when he was sixteen years old..."
"You don't have to worry about my junior uncle's disapproval of your low cultivation level. With my junior junior uncle's talent, wouldn't any of her peers be far behind her? You are at most ten times better than most people."
Eighteen thousand miles, and even thousands more, but you are younger than them all."
"So, what do you have to worry about?"
It was getting late, Chu Zhaozhao and Chu Qingxiao found a place on the roadside and lit a bonfire. The two sat beside the bonfire. Chu Zhaozhao gnawed on the dry food he had brought with him while analyzing the future relationship between Chu Qingxiao and Zhao Nianshuang in an old-fashioned way.
Chu Qingxiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, secretly feeling that the girl in front of him seemed to be very proficient in this matter between men and women.
"I actually don't have that many ideas."
"Although for me, Nian Shuang's departure was only a few months ago, but for Nian Shuang, it has been twelve years."
"I want to meet her just because I want to see how she is doing. I don't want to cause her any trouble."
"Come on!" Chu Zhaozhao waved his hands after hearing this and said: "You are a typical self-deception!"
"If you ask me, if you like it, you have to fight for it. Don't you just think that my junior uncle has a high level of cultivation and is now a master, so you feel ashamed in front of her?"
As Chu Zhaozhao said this, he became more and more excited. At this moment, he actually stood up and spoke loudly.
"Let's start practicing from now on. It's impossible to reach the level of our little master uncle, but if you give up without doing anything, are you worthy of the people of Wuling City?"
"You promised Uncle Chu that you would marry an eighth wife and have twenty fat boys! You gave up on the first one before it even started. I'm afraid Uncle Chu will want to whip you when he sees you in Tianzhiling!"
"And the doctor also said that your energy and blood have been depleted. I guess that although the divine blood has been reluctantly sealed, it will still have an impact on your body."
"Practice can strengthen your body and there is no harm to you."
Chu Qingxiao looked at Chu Zhaozhao who was so excited, and was obviously caught off guard. He blinked his eyes, and after a while, he murmured: "Miss Chu..."
"You are worried about my body..."
"Who... who is worried about you!" Chu Zhaozhao's cheeks turned red when she heard this. She felt as if someone had stepped on her tail, and her voice suddenly became louder.
"I just want you to cheer up and reconnect with your junior uncle as soon as possible!"
"In this way, my junior uncle will be grateful to me and help me enter Qingque Peak! Then I can rise to the top from now on!"
After saying this, she looked at Chu Qingxiao and saw the young man staring at her with a smile clearly in his eyes.
The shame and anger in Chu Zhaozhao's heart became more intense, she stamped her foot and said.
"In short, from now on, I will teach you how to practice, starting with actual combat training, and strive to let you enter the Aquarius Realm before meeting my little uncle!"
As Chu Zhaozhao said this, she raised her toes, and two slender branches fell into her hands in the fire.
A sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she threw one of the wooden sticks into Chu Qingxiao's hand.
Chu Qingxiao, who took the branch, was stunned for a moment and asked in astonishment: "Now?"
"Of course." Chu Zhaozhao said, eyes narrowed: "Don't worry, I won't use my sword intention, my cultivation will be suppressed, and I won't bully you."
After she said this, her eyes narrowed, and she used the wooden stick in her hand as a sword to attack Chu Qingxiao.
When Chu Qingxiao saw this, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "Miss Chu, this is not good, it will hurt people..."
"You bastard just dared to tease me. I want to teach you a lesson today!" Chu Zhaozhao ignored him and attacked Chu Qingxiao a little faster.
That aggressive look didn't look like he was trying to help Chu Qingxiao practice, but more like he was bringing in private goods and deliberately seeking revenge.
