Qiao Xiaoqiao couldn't help but clapped her hands: "This is well said, and I deeply appreciate it."
"Yes, no need to say any more polite words, let's go ahead and arrange the tasks."
Zhao Yuji remained serious, and then said to Zhao Qingqing: "Qingqing, you go back to the Imperial Capital and protect the Zhao family. With the help of the Tiandao team, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
Zhao Qingqing accepted the task directly and readily, and added: "I also contacted my best friend Xu Jiaona, and her strange team will also cooperate."
"That's good."
Zhao Yuji nodded and said softly: "I also know that Xu Jiaona has been officially recruited.
You partner with her and try to give her some benefits, so as to ease the tense relationship with some old official forces."
Zhao Qingqing nodded: "I understand."
"The south is also an important area for our layout."
"Not only Guicheng, but also Tiannan and Miao Territory. The scope is quite wide. Many forces are newly acquired and are not stable."
Zhao Yuji thought about it for a moment, and then said softly: "Then Yu Ruirui and Shi Chun, you two will keep watch."
Shi Chun looked at Ning Ruirui's long legs and immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "Okay."
"OK."
Ning Ruirui nodded and said: "It just so happens that I can contact the current head of the Snow Mountain Sect, and then connect the Snow Mountain Sect as well, as well as the Nine Mountains Alliance."
"That can."
Zhao Yuji laughed and said, "I will only arrange your area. You can figure out how to implement it on your own. I don't have any resources to allocate to you."
Ah Jiu interrupted at this time: "The manpower issue is actually easy to talk about.
There are many people in the Little Immortal Realm, and their average cultivation level is around the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although they are not very powerful, they are completely sufficient."
"There are also people from the Xuanyin tribe who moved from Shuangyue Island, who can also come in handy."
Yi Xiaoyin added.
Zhao Yuji nodded, and then continued: "Xiao Li, and Ah Jiu, you will guard the Fuliang and Huangshan areas, which are your respective hometowns. You can also spread out a little more to connect with Zhongnan Mountain... It should be
There is no shortage of manpower.”
Ah Jiu nodded: "Okay."
Naturally, Nie Xiaoli had no objection. Her cultivation was considered the weakest, but with Ah Jiu's help, there would be no problem at all.
"Yiren, you go to Tianhai City to guard it."
Zhao Yuji looked at Lan Yiren and said slowly: "You and your husband have explored there before, so you should be more familiar with it."
Lan Yiren accepted the order: "Don't worry, there will be no problem."
"Finally, it's the overseas forces, it's up to you, Miss Yi."
Zhao Yuji finally looked at Yi Xiaoyin and said solemnly: "You often travel overseas, so you should be very aware of the complicated forces. You can come forward to consolidate them, so as not to be scattered, and it may not be helpful."
Yi Xiaoyin did not refuse and answered seriously: "Yes, I can contact Mei Aoxue, as well as James Mousi and others from the Eternal Life Temple. We have communicated with each other before. Even if they are temporarily integrated, it will not take much time.
"
The Palace Master of Tiangong interjected at this time: "Although my [Tiangong] is a little loose and I didn't bother to take care of it before, there are also some people who are loyal to me. There are also a few trustworthy people in the island country branch. Let's introduce them together.
for you."
"That couldn't be better."
Yi Xiaoyin immediately thanked her.
"Hey, what about me?"
Su Beibei listened for a long time and didn't hear her name. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: "It's enough to have Sister Xiao Qiao here in Jianghai. I shouldn't need to point fingers here."
Zhao Yuji said with a serious face: "Come with me to the Little Fairy Realm. It must be the top priority and will face the most dangers. It will give you some exercise."
"It's the fairy world again, you don't want to torture me on purpose, do you?"
Su Beibei struggled for a while, but nodded and said: "Hey, I can't escape, okay."
"After the arrangements are made, everyone can go their separate ways, and remember to stay on the phone at all times."
As expected, Zhao Yuji said: "If there is anything strange, I believe my dear baby will inform us.
If there is no signal on your mobile phone, use the talisman to contact you."
"Okay, let's do this then."
Naturally, the girls had no objection, and did not try to act like children, but just said goodbye and left.
For the next day, the whole world fell into an incomprehensible silence.
This kind of quietness is very deliberate.
Like the calm before the storm, everyone had a premonition that something big was going to happen.
What is strange is that officials from various countries have remained calm and have not shown any signs.
Ordinary people have no idea what is about to happen, and some people may be forced to get involved, but most people really don't know anything and don't need to know.
By the time they react, the storm may have subsided.
…
At this time, the key figures who were supposed to be in the eye of the storm were in a rather strange situation.
Summer is lying on a river, drifting with the current.
He didn't know what kind of river it was, and he wasn't interested in knowing where it went.
I just felt a little unhappy that I was deceived by the figure with the white mask.
Strictly speaking, it's not a lie. It's just that he was having fun for a while, so he was unprepared and was teleported here inadvertently.
At that time, he and Su Beibei were still in Siam and had just killed the scheming Yin-Blooded God Envoy.
Xia Tian was still thinking about whether to go on vacation with Su Beibei for a few days or take her directly back to Jianghai.
Then, a strange shadow appeared in front of him.
It was a shadow about the size of a person, black and gray, like fog, with no fixed shape, but with a white mask on its face.
"Where did you come from, idiot?"
Xia Tian asked directly.
The white-masked ghost didn't speak, but stretched out his hand towards Xia Tian.
An erratic hand is full of vague, flickering shadows.
"What are you doing, do you want to fight or shake hands?"
Xia Tian curled his lips, "If you want to fight, just fight, just shake hands.
Except for beautiful women, I basically don’t shake hands with anyone.”
The white masked shadow finally made a voice: "Follow me."
"Come as soon as you say."
Xia Tian said unhappily.
The white mask shadow said nothing more, but stuck to Xia Tian's arm.
Xia Tian didn't dodge, just wanted to see what tricks this shadow could do.
As a result, something was wrong as soon as it was touched.
Xia Tian immediately took out the silver needle and stabbed the white mask shadow.
Unfortunately, it was too late, a space-time rift had already formed, and he was quickly sucked into it.
However, it was also because he blocked it with a silver needle.
Halfway through the teleportation, the entire space-time rift was distorted and collapsed.
Xia Tian fell out, and he didn't know how long he fell, and finally fell into a river.
This is a big river, seemingly endless.
The river water is cool but a little turbid.
There seemed to be souls and the like underneath, tumbling and shuttling from time to time. Some of the bold ones seemed to want to get into Xia Tian's body.
Xia Tian found that because of the crack that had just broken, his cultivation seemed to be locked by something, and the ice and fire spiritual energy could not be used for a while.
This kind of blockade is completely different from Ye Yumei draining him dry.
Ye Yumei absorbed most of his spiritual energy, leaving a large vacuum in his cultivation. If this vacuum is not filled, his cultivation will never go back up.
But now, the meridians and orifices are blocked.
Therefore, a strange situation was created. Dantian Qihai can obviously produce ice and fire spiritual energy, but there is no way to use it.
It's like a factory is still producing goods, but the logistics is interrupted and the goods cannot be delivered.
Of course, this is only a temporary problem.
Xia Tian is using the ice and fire spiritual energy to stimulate these meridians and apertures bit by bit, which is actually equivalent to reopening the channels.
During this period, he could only allow himself to remain lying flat on the river for the time being, completely ignoring where he would float.
After drifting for a while, Xia Tian suddenly discovered a strange situation.
The flow of time here seems to be a little different.
As for how much difference there is, we can only tell after he clears his meridians and holes again.
I don’t know how long I drifted, but it seemed like days and nights, and it seemed like only a few hours passed.
Xia Tian also took a nap in the middle of the journey, and his meridians were slightly unblocked, but he still didn't see the river bank, so he was too lazy to bother.
At this time, a small boat suddenly floated on the river.
There were three figures sitting on the boat, an old boatman and two young women.
One of the women in green clothes raised her eyes and looked ahead, suddenly spotted Xia Tian in the river, and shouted to the woman in white clothes next to her: "Sister, there seems to be something floating in front of me."
When the woman in white heard this, she couldn't help but look over and saw something floating not far away.
"The two ladies seem to be the same person."
The old man was sharp-eyed and probably experienced, so he recognized it immediately.
The woman in green clothes said quickly: "Why don't you cross over and rescue the person?"
"Don't worry!"
The woman in white was more cautious and said with some hesitation: "This is the Resentment River. There are many water monsters and ghosts in the water. Who knows if it is a bait?"
"That's right."
The woman in green was immediately convinced: "Then don't worry, we still have a task to do. If we can't finish it, the old woman will lose her temper."
The woman in white gave a wry smile, feeling quite helpless at this younger sister's ever-increasing temper: "What if it is really a member of the tribe who fell into the water upstream, I still need to go over and confirm."
"Right!"
The woman in Tsing Yi's temper changed again, and she chuckled, "Then let's fish him out and see with our own eyes what he is."
"Hey, you..." The woman in white was about to speak.
The woman in green swung out a piece of rope from the bottom of her sleeve, flew several hundred meters away, rolled up Xia Tian in the river, and pulled him to the bow of the boat with a sudden tug.
The old man looked down, took another breath, and said to the two women: "You two ladies are indeed human, but they have no breath, so they are probably dead."
