Chapter 389 Return

 Cao Su didn’t believe in fate before, but now he does.

His appearance here is difficult to explain using his previous scientific knowledge.

Therefore, he is a passive believer in fate, and he has more expectations for alchemists who have some magical methods.

Under such a formation, Ouyang Xuanji's large white robe floated up without any wind.

She stood with her eyes closed, and the spell words formed by countless spells were like flowing blood, instantly covering her body.

"Starting receiving signal?"

Cao Su was stunned.

How could their martial arts master these tricks? They would either kill people or be killed by them.

There are no more options.

Ouyang Xuanji tapped her toes and her body floated slightly.

Suspended in mid-air.

Her eyes were closed tightly, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, her black hair was stained with sweat, and her spells were flowing crazily.

After a while, the light stopped, and Ouyang Xuanji fell from the sky, breathing a long sigh of relief.

"how?"

Cao Su asked in a deep voice.

Ouyang Xuanji showed a trace of doubt on her face, as if she had some confusion.

I heard Cao Su asked about it, but he didn't say no.

He looked confident.

"Yeah, no problem."

"I made a divination, and it's a good omen."

good omen?

Cao Su asked: "Can you tell me more specifically?"

"To be specific, this road is smooth and there should be no obstacles."

Ouyang Xuanji looked dazed.

Cao Su said displeasedly: "What does obstruction mean? Master Ouyang, please explain it clearly!"

"Oh, you don't understand."

"The art of astrological divination can only be understood but cannot be explained in words. I have made it clear to you. If it fails in the future, wouldn't it be a loss of my reputation?"

Ouyang Xuanji is also an honest person, and she speaks her mind right away.

Cao Su was stunned when he heard this.

Isn't this a typical store bullying?

Are you pretending to have completed all the procedures without explaining it clearly? I can say this kind of specious thing all day long without repeating it.

Cao Su shook his head and smiled helplessly.

Ouyang Xuanji said confidently: "Don't worry, I've already taken care of it for you."

"This return to the divine capital will be like a dragon returning to the sea, where you can roam freely."

Cao Su no longer believed this alchemist's "nonsense".

Female alchemists are also alchemists. No matter how beautiful they are, they still talk about their profession.

"So, that Yuan Shouyi shouldn't come to trouble me for the time being?"

Cao Su asked tentatively, thinking that Ouyang Xuanji could figure it out after all, right?

Ouyang Xuanji said awkwardly: "Don't worry, he can't get out."

"The Supreme Elders of Tianji Pavilion generally rarely leave the pavilion. They seem to have some restrictions."

"But if he really knows that it was you who did it, Tianji Pavilion may send other experts to come to trouble you. It will be a big crisis. You should be prepared early."

After listening for a long time, he said nothing.

Cao Su could guess this kind of thing without even trying.

He said "poof", thinking that this technique was just fancy.

All the actual effects were gone, and the golden signboard of Chunqiu Pavilion was probably lost in Ouyang Xuanji's hands.

Ouyang Xuanji saw the questioning look in Cao Su's eyes.

I immediately felt unhappy.

He defended himself to save his image: "I am a Formation Master, and my specialty is Qimen Dunjia. This astrological divination is a course I take concurrently, so it is reasonable to have slight differences."

Cao Su:..........

.........

.........

Two days later.

Zhang Ke's vanguard army and the spies sent to Anzhou by Cao Su received news at the same time.

The speed of the two swordsmen was really fast, and they visited Anzhou in two days.

Qing Xiao and Zhou Wei brought the latest news about the Qiang army.

"Really out of Mobei?"

"It seems that these Qiang soldiers are not good enough. They are all paper tigers."

"You can't stand a slight setback. This kind of army can only fight with favorable conditions."

Cao Su characterized the Qiang people as paper tigers, who looked powerful but were actually vulnerable.

Compared to the Qiang people, the crazy monsters are the biggest enemy.

These demon clans crossed the gate of the realm and entered the human world. The low-level demon soldiers were fearless of life and death, and their fighting power was overwhelming. Even if they had no tactics to speak of, even a single draw would put all the famous generals to shame.

Feng Yuchan also fell into this trap.

But Feng Yuchan had his own limitations. He could give up Anzhou, but he couldn't give up the battle in Liangzhou.

His luck wasn't very good either.

If it were a little later, when the emperor died, everything would be different.

In addition to news about the Qiang people, Zhou Wei also brought specific information about Anzhou.

"Among the remaining cities, Anbei, Dingyuan, Tai and other major cities can still see some popularity, while other cities are sparsely populated and have suffered from wars."

Qingxiao said: "There are also bandits in the desert, and now the entire Anzhou is in a mess."

In times of war, banditry is commonplace in the world.

Poor people in Anzhou, their lives are even more miserable.

Spring is about to begin, and the war this year will affect spring planting, so we will have to rely even more on supplies from other places in Xizhou.

Fortunately, these Qiang people retreated, otherwise they would not be able to feed so many people if they stayed here.

By that time, the remaining population will have to be reduced by half, and the land will surely be starved to death, with corpses scattered thousands of miles away.

After getting news from Anzhou, news came from Zhang Ke.

The vanguard successfully arrived at Xiping, waiting for the general's army to come to take charge of the overall situation.

At this point, all Cao Su's arrangements in Xizhou were in place. He immediately stopped hesitating, waved his hand, and the army broke out of camp and returned eastward.

Before leaving, Jincheng guard Jia Tao hosted a banquet for Cao Su, showing his "reluctance to leave".

This is also a normal process in the officialdom. Cao Su has even prepared a few poems in his heart. If anyone wants to leave him in the future, he will give the poems to others, making everyone famous.

Jia Tao didn't have as many goods as Cao Su, so he could only express his "reluctance" in a very straightforward way.

Cao Su told Jia Tao to guard the gate of Jincheng. The safety of Xizhou in the future would be entirely in his hands.

"Isn't that true?"

"Liangzhou, Liangzhou Prefecture, and Beiliang City, which one will get me, the guard of Jincheng, to be the boss?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Tao has a clear self-awareness. He is just an ordinary border general. If someone in the center can remember him in the future, he will have the opportunity to climb up. If no one remembers him,

He, his whole life has passed like this.

Cao Su did not explain it to him.

I don't know Jia Tao very well, so I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities for the two of them to cross paths in the future.

The next day.

Cao Su bid farewell to Jia Tao and led his army back east.

The army pulled up the flag, with the word "Qianyuan" written on one side and the word "Cao" written on the other side. It was particularly conspicuous on the wasteland east of Jincheng.

More than ten thousand soldiers mounted their horses and rolled toward the east together with Cao Su.

In an instant, the ground trembled and countless smoke and dust rose.

Like a black tide, the sight of thousands of horses galloping forward is extremely spectacular.

City of Gods, the beginning of chaos.

The emperor suddenly suffered an unexpected event, and the whole world was in chaos.

Fortunately, the emperor had previously decided on the hierarchy of elders and juniors. Although the eldest prince Wenyou was only ten years old, he was not very intelligent and was well versed in poetry and books. He had already shown the demeanor of a human emperor and was recommended by many veterans.

But even though the old minister thought so, there was a lot of dissatisfaction in the palace.

The inner chamber group, headed by the emperor's most trusted eunuch Wang Xian, believed that when the emperor was dying, he actually wanted to make the second prince Wen Yan his heir, rather than the eldest prince Wen You.

Otherwise, the late emperor would not have delayed establishing the crown prince's position just because he had other considerations in mind.

The chamberlains said that the emperor had repeatedly commented on the eldest prince. Although he was smart, he behaved frivolously and lacked imperial dignity. He was not a wise king. However, although the second prince was young, he was calm and measured. He was not surprised by favors and humiliations and had great wisdom hidden inside.

It has more of an imperial look.

The people who were closest to the late emperor, these chamberlains said that they were number one, and no one dared to say that they were number two.

Moreover, when the late emperor was still alive, he also showed more favor to these chamberlains. Not only did Wang Xian serve as an official in the palace, many chamberlains were even sent outside the palace, and two of them even became the actual controllers of the captains of the imperial army.

Eunuchs in charge of the army may seem unreliable, but in fact it is precisely because the emperor trusts them.

Therefore, these chamberlains also have power in their hands.

Their argument was also recognized by some officials. After all, many people were loyal to the late emperor, and obeying the late emperor's last wish was their only political pursuit.

Civil and military officials should be established in senior positions, while internal servant officials should be established in junior positions.

The emperor's mourning period has not yet passed, but the atmosphere in the court has completely changed.

On the surface, the two factions have begun to confront each other.

In fact, whether it is to establish a eldest child or to establish a young child, the two parties do not care now.

But respecting the emperor is a matter of long-term development. Once the emperor grows up and begins to rule personally, who supported their rise to power and who opposed their rise to power will be as clear as a mirror in their minds.

When the time comes to settle the scores, no one who opposes now will be able to escape.

Therefore, the current situation has completely gotten out of control after the chamberlains proposed raising children.

The conflict between the two major groups is inevitable and irreconcilable.

The smart people in the central official circles have already felt that the storm in the divine capital is coming.
