Luo Xixian became interested and asked with a smile: "Is it different now? I think Chongxuan Hall is in full swing."
Jiang Ru shook her head lightly: "The Chongxuan Hall has been deteriorating year by year, but it manages to maintain it by relying on the legacy of its predecessors. Most of the time it relies on momentum to decorate the facade, but the inside is in dire decline. Those who offended Mr. Luo before
Liang Zhongwei’s cultivation foundation is extremely shallow, but he still dares to talk nonsense.”
"If there are experts in the hall, there will inevitably be some incompetent people." Luo Xixian said with interest: "But as far as I can see, Chongxuan Hall has not declined to the point where you are eager to find another way out. Last year
Our Huaiying Hall discovered Bai'e Gong's cave, and your leader Liang came with a large number of troops and openly robbed all the treasures of the cave. At that time, I couldn't see any external force."
Jiang Ruyan said: "Isn't this enough to prove that the Chongxuan Hall is unsustainable? The leader of the Liang Dynasty has the honor of a national master, and he actually wants to fight for the treasures of the cave. His behavior is several types of bandits. It is so unbearable. How can it be said that it is at the peak of the sun?"
Luo Xixian nodded slightly: "Indeed. But your Chongxuan family has a great cause. If it doesn't work out, we can live separately. No one can stop you."
Jiang Ru smiled bitterly, unable to hide the desolate look in her brows: "Master Luo, what he said is an understatement. The previous issue of twenty thousand soldiers and horses with no pay made people inside and outside the court confused. Chongxuan Hall has been unpopular for a long time. One day in the future Liang
The first emperor was ordered to lift Xia, leaving behind such a mess and so many incompetent disciples. The king will not hesitate, and the other palaces are even more eyeing."
"As far as I know, Mr. Liang is very successful in cultivation, so your Chongxuan Hall will not lose its backer so soon." Luo Xixian said with a smile, looking at the beauty frowning in distress, which was quite a bit satisfying.
"Master Luo is really good at joking." Jiang Ru glanced at the other party and sighed softly: "You men know how to fight and fight for power, but you don't know the hardships of our daughters' families."
Luo Xixian was aroused by these words and asked: "What? From what you said, could it be that she was forcibly married as a concubine by Liang Shuo?"
Jiang Ru's eyes were slightly red: "Concubine? I'm afraid I don't even have this status. Our Jiang family is protected by his Liang family, and the female members of the family have no choice but to bend down and serve. Although they seem to be in front of others, they are being humiliated secretly and cannot escape.
It’s just that people like us have seen the Liang family’s plight. Before the collapse of tall buildings, even mice know how to move to avoid disaster, but where can I escape?”
Luo Xixian felt angry when he saw the beauty weeping, but he still suppressed his desire and said: "I understand, you are trying to test the attitude of my Huaiying Pavilion in the name of repair and apology. If Chongxuan Pavilion is unable to continue in the future,
, so that you can prepare an escape route for your family."
Jiang Ru wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said seriously: "I understand that Mr. Luo has a grudge against Chongxuan Hall in his heart, so he is suspicious of my motives for doing this. It is really not appropriate to rush into such a big matter as finding another way out. I just hope that Mr. Luo will remember it.
At today's meeting, I will be in trouble tomorrow, so I beg Mr. Luo to take care of me."
Jiang Ru was about to leave after saying this. Seeing this, Luo Xixian stood up, grabbed the opponent's jade wrist, and dragged Jiang Ru's body into Luo Xixian's chest.
"Master Luo, you..."
Jiang Ru raised her head and looked at Luo Xixian. Her expression was flustered, and a few wisps of hot fragrance came out from her delicate cherry lips. Luo Xixian only felt that the beauty in his arms was as soft as a boneless body, and her body was crisp, and she was wrapped under the curved train. She was so delicate and charming.
body.
"If you want to show your sincerity, just these pills and magic weapons are not enough." Luo Xixian stared at Jiang Ru closely, his eyes as sharp as a sword: "How do you want to prove that you are not sent by Liang Shuo to test me?"
Jiang Ru gently shook her lower lip, avoiding Luo Xixian's gaze: "I understand... I also ask Mr. Luo to do some magic, and don't let the sound come out."
Luo Xixian raised his lips, took out the door-sealing charm from his waist, pointed it out, and attached the charm to the curtains of the tent to isolate the sound from inside and outside and prevent the spring scenery from leaking out.
…
After leaving the mine, Zhao Shui led a group of soldiers back to Yuyang County. After experiencing a difficult battle outside Zangdi Valley, the soldiers were in urgent need of repairs. Zhao Shui needed to replenish various spells and talismans, and the Qingxuan pen contaminated by filth was also
Needs to be re-refined.
"That's more or less the case."
Zhao Shu pointed at several places on the map and said to General Wei: "If nothing unexpected happens, the evil spirit has escaped Yuyang County and can no longer cause trouble. Most of the other miscellaneous spirits and ghosts have been wiped out, and a few have escaped into the mountains and forests and cannot be traced."
"I don't care about those little monsters." General Wei stared at the map and sighed: "Except for the county seat, there are not many people left in other places. I am afraid that Yuyang County will not be able to recover this time."
Zhao Shu said: "If the idle acres of land can be distributed to the refugees, the land will be lightly taxed, and the land will be taught farming and mulberry farming, the land will soon be revitalized."
"You go tell Wang Juncheng about these things. I can't talk too much." General Wei waved his hand and asked: "By the way, I heard from the soldiers below, what kind of magic weapon did you get for them?"
"It's not a sharp sword. It's just a talisman carved on the sword and a little bit of sacrifice." Zhao Shu said: "We monks and magicians are in the minority after all, and not all of us know how to fight on the battlefield and arrange troops.
It is very inappropriate for the soldiers who are working hard to face goblins and monsters to hold ordinary iron in their hands. I feel that the golden armor talisman alone is not enough. If all the soldiers can hold talisman soldiers, they can be supplemented by appropriate countermeasures.
Fa, why worry about goblins and ghosts attacking the camp and disturbing the formation?"
General Wei showed a joyful expression at first, but then turned solemn and asked: "Zhao Fuli, is this Talisman Soldier recently created by Huaiying Hall?"
"Probably so." Zhao Shu replied: "I don't know if other taverns have similar magical objects. Anyway, I just fiddled with them casually. There are no serious techniques. I'm afraid the specific application needs to be improved over time.
Those talisman knives were made temporarily, if they malfunction after two days, don’t take it too seriously.”
General Wei asked: "In addition to dealing with fairies and ghosts, can this talisman weapon be used to kill ordinary people?"
"Then it depends on what kind of talisman is engraved. The fire evil talisman is estimated to be mediocre in its effect. The golden evil talisman may make the sword and gun sharper and easier to penetrate the armor?" Zhao Shu spread his hands and said: "To be honest, I am not sure."
General Wei was not as relaxed and casual as Zhao Shu. He could vaguely see that if this kind of talisman weapon were in the hands of ordinary soldiers, it might cause unpredictable changes to the battlefield situation.
"Li Zhao Fu, can you create another batch of Talisman soldiers and distribute them to General Wei?" General Wei asked.
"This is natural." Zhao Shu said: "But I may have to go back to Yanze City to work out the details with my fellow goalkeeper Fu Bing."
…
Jiang Ru hid in the carriage, huddled up, her whole body was tired and she didn't look happy at all.
"Miss, Zhao Shu has already left the military camp." A subordinate's voice came from outside the car.
"Is he alone?" Jiang Ru forced herself to sit up.
"Yes."
Jiang Ru set up her makeup box and tidied her slightly messy hair in the small mirror, then got out of the carriage and rushed towards Zhao Shu.
"Official Zhao Fu, please stay."
Zhao Ming heard someone calling from the side of the road. He turned around and saw a charming woman bowing to him: "Little girl Jiang Ru, we had a relationship before. I wonder if Zhao Fu remembers her?"
"You..." Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment. If it weren't for the trembling signal of the Divine Tiger True Form Talisman, he almost forgot that the woman in front of him was the maid next to Liang Shuo, and she was also the fox demon who had disturbed his practice. It seems that this paragraph
The days are really busy and confusing.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhao Shu asked directly.
Jiang Ru said softly: "I came here to apologize to Official Zhao Fu for the incident at the Dharma Altar in the school grounds."
"Oh." Zhao Mi responded, staying still on the spot with a blank look on his face. Outsiders had no idea what he was thinking.
Zhao Shu pointed to a row of houses not far away: "I'm just about to pack my things, let's go over and chat."
When Jiang Ru followed Zhao Shu to the small house with broken windows and crooked door panels, she asked in disbelief: "Is Zhao Fu living in a place like this?"
Zhao Shu glanced around: "Look at how many intact houses there are in Yuyang County now? This kind of house is pretty good. I haven't spent many nights under the roof in the past few days."
Jiang Ru tried her best to maintain a smile, and was about to take two steps forward to speak softly, but she smelled a strange odor on Zhao Mi's body, and couldn't help but frown and step back, covering her mouth and nose.
Zhao Shu saw her like this, smelled the green shirt on his body, and said embarrassedly: "I made you laugh, I was covered in pus and blood from a walking corpse in the field the day before yesterday. It seems that I can't have this dress. I
Change some clothes, please wait."
After saying this, Zhao Shu left Jiang Ru outside to dry, and he was fussing around in the hut without knowing what he was doing.
Jiang Ru was in a bad mood at the moment, very bad. Thinking that she had to serve Luo Xixian with her lustful appearance, the swordsman's body almost tore her apart. She hadn't recovered yet, and now she had to deal with this Zhao Shu again.
No matter how much Liang Shuo valued Zhao Shu, Jiang Ru only felt that this person was vulgar and vulgar from the inside out.
"After all, he is a monk from the Huaiying Hall. Even if he doesn't put on airs, his words and deeds should be a little dignified. Luo Xixian is full of energy, and he runs rampant based on his strength. This Zhao Miao is a common man through and through, full of philistine ideas, and partial
I think I am quite capable."
The more Jiang Ru thought about it, the angrier she became. Even though what she said to Luo Xixian before was just an excuse to flatter her, she had not thought about how to break away from Liang's control. This time she met Zhao and Luo, and she was determined that she would definitely not choose Huaiying Pavilion instead of going with Luo Xixian.
It would be better to stay with Liang Shuo for a while with this kind of common people's dealings.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Shu opened the door, changed into another wide-sleeved green shirt, and let Jiang Ru in.
There were no formal beds, tables, or chairs in the hut. Instead, hay bedding was laid out in the corner to serve as a temporary bed. Jiang Ru could only stand and said, "Official Zhao Fu, when you disturbed the Dharma altar earlier, you are actually a little girl with an untamed nature.
I made this special trip to apologize, and I hope Official Zhao Fu can forgive me."
Zhao Shu asked: "You are not tamed by nature? I saw that you were tamed well by Liang Shuo. Was he the one who asked you to come?"
Jiang Ru lowered her head and frowned: "The little girl is under the control of others, so she has no choice but to offend Official Zhao Fu. Please accept these boxes of elixirs. In addition, there is a volume of magic formula, please also ask Official Zhao Fu to read it."
Zhao Shu put down the elixir box and took the scroll. The four words "Gold and Water Form" were clearly visible on the cover. The Chinese characters inside were written in gold lacquer, and a spiritual light appeared. Zhao Shu glanced at it casually, and what was written in the book was a
The technique of fractal scattering, from sacrificing the magic mirror, to meditating on the mirror, and then entering the mirror in trance, and the shape comes out of the mirror, the outline of the ritual and the use of spiritual energy are all described in detail.
"Good stuff." Zhao Shu nodded, but there was no smile on his face: "As expected of Chongxuan Hall, the apology and thank you gifts are so generous. This attitude makes me want to join Chongxuan Hall."
When Jiang Ru heard this, she quickly said: "If Zhao Fu is interested in this, why not go to Yanze City to discuss it in detail?"
"Tail." Zhao Shu raised his finger and pointed behind Jiang Ru: "The fox's tail is exposed."
"Ah?" Jiang Ru quickly turned around to look, but saw nothing. She immediately knew that she had fallen into a trap and would be teased and ridiculed by the other party.
"You..." Jiang Ru suppressed her anger and maintained a dignified manner: "Does Zhao Fu want to see the little girl's original form? That doesn't look good."
"I've seen a lot more uglier things than you." Zhao Shu sneered with a hint of ridicule: "Do you know what kind of things I have encountered these days? Are you the only one who still wants to scare me? If you have the ability, show up now.
After revealing the original shape, I also plan to get some fox fur cloaks for Teacher and Mr. Shi. Change them! Change them for me quickly!"
Jiang Ru's heart collapsed: "Zhao Mian! Don't go too far! Auntie, I apologized to you in a good voice. I also gave you gifts and steps. Do you still have to pester me like this? It was Liang Shuo who asked me to go there in the first place.
If you have the guts to disturb the Dharma altar, go argue with him yourself! What's the use of your sharp mouth pointing at me?!"
Jiang Ru cursed loudly, her chest and shoulders couldn't stop rising and falling, and then she turned around with regret and wiped away her tears.
Zhao Mo touched the stubble on his chin, thinking that this fox demon was often angry, and he was so provoked by his casual words that he could say anything.
"If you ask me, your Chongxuan Hall just breaks the rules and breaks too much." Zhao Shu played with the scroll: "Liang Shuo asked you to disturb the altar because he was worried that I would steal the limelight of the Chongxuan Hall. But what happened?
?If you hadn't taken action, there wouldn't have been any rumors in the market that "Zhao Fuli came to the altar to slay demons". Who is it that made my reputation become more and more popular?
As for an apology, I didn't expect it at first. Now that you're here, I have to doubt Liang Shuo's intentions. To be honest, this method is really not smart. I yearn for Chongxuan Pavilion, but I don't want to take refuge in any powerful family.
This method will bribe me, do you value me, or do you underestimate me?"
Jiang Ru turned her head, her eyes showing a strange red light: "Do you think you have seen through everything? Do you have to show off your words?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Zhao Shuyan said: "I don't understand from the beginning to the end why your Chongxuan Hall insists on watching us doing things, and even sends people like Liang Zhongwei to drive a wedge between me and Luo Xixian. If you want
If you want to protect your position of power, go directly to the Yunyan rudder, who can be better than you?"
"Innocent." Jiang Ru also gave up, shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Are you naive? I'll understand when I see Liang Shuo." Zhao Shu said to Jiang Ruyan: "Didn't you just yell for me to argue with Liang Shuo? Lead the way, I just want to go back to Yanze City."
