The beautiful woman stood there with a smile, seemingly not feeling the pressure on Princess Anyang.
Anyang's slightly cold gaze was condescending, and ordinary people might have been overwhelmed long ago.
But that beautiful woman was obviously no ordinary character.
Looking directly at Anyang like this, there was no hint of timidity at all.
Liu Luan and Liu Yiqi stood silently on the side, and they obviously seemed to be "watching a good show".
The atmosphere became a little stiff at this moment.
After a moment, Anyang sneered, not caring at all about the situation in front of him.
"She is a pretty beauty. She underestimated General Zhenbei."
Most of the people here have different statuses from Cao Su. Only Anyang's status and the title of princess can vaguely outshine Cao Su. She is the only one who can say such teasing words to Cao Su.
Gotta come out.
After hearing this, several people's expressions changed slightly.
But everyone's city was in good shape and they didn't express any opinions on this.
"Liu Niang."
Liu Yiqi's title of "Liu Niang" is related to her last name. If she has a close relationship, she will be called "Liu Niang".
Princess Anyang suddenly called out "Liu Niang" at this moment, which made Liu Yiqi feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he was also a giant who controlled a huge business family, and he quickly regained his composure.
Anyang smiled and said: "If Liu Niang is free, you can come and walk around in my yard. You and I will be sisters of the Cao family in the future. Don't say anything to anyone else."
The two had never met before, but now they suddenly became known as sisters of the Cao family.
After all, Anyang came out of the imperial palace, and his identity transformation was extremely smooth.
Liu Yiqi nodded: "That's natural. It's going to be an outing day soon. If the princess has time, she can also go for an outing in the countryside with us."
Anyang showed goodwill, at least on the surface, and Liu Yiqi's "businessman" mind started to work, and she immediately reciprocated the favor and gave Anyang an invitation.
Anyang was slightly startled, but did not reject Liu Yiqi: "Liu Niang is interested."
After a brief chat at the second elder's door, the two left the yard.
There was no tense atmosphere as Liu Luan had imagined, but instead it seemed very harmonious.
But when leaving, Anyang couldn't help but look back and took a sneak peek at Liu Yiqi's legs.
Liu Yiqi was facing away from her and walking in the other direction.
Although he was very restrained, Anyang could still tell that Liu Yiqi's legs were shaking slightly and her walking posture was not very neat.
Anyang's mood immediately improved after seeing this detail. He remembered that he had also encountered the same embarrassment in the Thunder Prison at that time. It seemed that he was not special and it would not be embarrassing to lose to Cao Su.
After the two generals and wives left, no one else stayed.
Soon, Er Lao's yard became deserted again.
--------------------------
All matters in Youzhou Mansion are gradually getting on track.
And the entire Youzhou, after Yun Zhengxin's defeat, gradually shifted the focus of development to Youzhou Prefecture.
Youzhou Mansion is the heart of the entire Youzhou. Cao Su built Youzhou Mansion into the first city in Youzhou and even the first city in the north.
There are no opponents in the world, and there are only scattered voices of opposition, which are very small.
In military affairs, there are still some risks and challenges.
At the beginning of the new year, the first challenge comes from Li Xingxi.
On this day, Cao Su received a military intelligence briefing from Liaozhou.
"Three days ago, Li Xingxi's troops appeared in the Liaodong area. They seemed to have regained some vitality and seemed to be making a comeback."
As Cao Su managed Youzhou steadily and steadily, there was no place for Li Xingxi to show his talents in Youzhou.
Li Xingxi could recruit fewer and fewer soldiers, and could only operate in the Liaodong and Liaobei areas.
Those places are still some distance away from Youzhou Prefecture and are truly remote corners of the empire.
Zhang Ke handed the information to Cao Su, with a look of eagerness on his face.
The army under Cao Su's command is currently in the process of restructuring.
After the restructuring is completed, Cao Su will establish the Tiger and Leopard Guards as the first unit under his command. In addition, there will be other ordinary marching units, divided into four types: horse, foot, bow and shield.
The tiger and leopard personal guards are the first combat force that Cao Su will focus on cultivating in the next stage.
Now among the three armies, the first round of preliminary screening has been completed, and there will be two rounds of screening, and finally a bodyguard of 3,000 people will be established. By then, these 3,000 bodyguards will all be composed of Qi and blood warriors.
composition.
The goal of forming an army is directly aimed at a world-famous powerful army like the Lingzhou Silver Dragon Army.
"Although Li Xingxi is not good enough, he is still a high-level warrior in the realm of strength. His subordinates are still capable of fighting. If we want to deal with Li Xingxi, I must send corresponding high-level warriors in the realm of strength to fight."
Cao Su knew that Zhang Ke and others were eager to fight and wanted to achieve more military exploits.
But he didn't want to deal with Li Xingxi yet.
First, he is not qualified to directly intervene in Liaozhou affairs, and second, the more active Li Xingxi is, the more say Cao Su will have in the court in the future.
"Strengthen your vigilance and prepare to deploy defenses in the Youdong area."
Zhang Ke was somewhat disappointed by the order issued by Cao Su, but he did not dare to question Cao Su's decision and subconsciously accepted the order.
After taking it, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
Deployment, should I do it alone?
Cao Su spoke slowly and helped Zhang Ke, who was prostrate, "Old Zhang, this time I sent you out alone. I want you to set up defenses in several cities in the east of Youdong to form the first line of defense against Li Xingxi. Can you
confident?"
Zhang Ke, a straightforward military man, couldn't stand such words that were half-affirming and half-provocative. He immediately responded loudly and excitedly: "General, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely guard to the death and not let Thief Li cross Youdong even half a step.
"
After Zhang Ke left, other Youzhou military and political officials also came to visit Cao Su.
They brought various military and political matters in Youzhou, many of which required Cao Su's personal deployment and arrangements.
After Cao Su finished his busy work for a while, it was already dark.
In the inner courtyard of the back house, Cao Su's entire family gathered together, waiting for Cao Su to come to eat.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cao Su stepped into his parents' backyard and found that there were two tables in the yard.
One table belonged to two male guests, Cao Su and Cao's father, and the other table was all occupied by women.
It’s not like going to the toilet when eating, so why should we separate men and women?
Cao Su shook his head, but had no intention of changing this bad habit.
After all, judging from the current situation, he has gradually adapted to this bad habit, and has even become a vested interest in the "bad habit".
Otherwise, if you want to marry two people at once, you will not be punished at all.
"Erlang is really working hard. He is busy with government affairs every day."
Cao's father has grown up a lot now. He opened his mouth to speak official words, poured the wine directly and brought it to Cao Su: "Here, let me toast you."
When they were young, they all called Cao Su "Asu". Later, as Cao Su's status improved, gradually no one called Cao Su "Asu" and instead called him the more official "Erlang".
Cao Su smiled, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Cao's father: "Father, you're welcome."
Cao's father and Cao's mother are now very satisfied with this situation. Although Cao Xing is still missing, the second son is very good and has now married two more wives. Even they can foresee that this should not be Cao Su's limit.
The biggest wish of the two of them is that the Cao family can spread its branches and leaves, and the Cao clan becomes stronger and stronger.
As the status of Cao Su's official family rose, the Cao family's transformation into the "Cao family" was the inevitable path for the family's prosperity.
While Cao Su was drinking, his eyes secretly glanced at the other table.
As a result, Anyang, Yiqi and others turned their heads and looked at Cao Su.
Cao Su grinned and raised the wine glass in his hand.
The two women smiled and understood each other, then raised their wine glasses and drank in threes under the moonlight.
--------------------------
Late at night, in Anyang's room.
The intense Yin-Yang-Thunder cultivation has come to an end.
The exhausted Anyang lay weakly in Cao Su's arms, like a dead salted fish, not wanting to move a finger.
She didn't understand why she was still so weak when she was already at the first level?
Cao Su is obviously only at the second level, but his physical strength is still superior to him when he is practicing dual cultivation. He is like a vajra bull, tireless and vigorous.
"correct!"
"Anyang, have you ever heard of Tongtian City?"
Cao Su stretched out his hand to touch Anyang's smooth back. After hearing the words "Tongtian City", Anyang immediately opened his lazy eyes, and a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.
She looked at Cao Su in surprise: "How did you know?"
Seeing her fierce reaction, Cao Su said in confusion: "Although not many people know about this kind of thing, it doesn't mean that no one knows about it, right? I'm already at the second level of the Strength Realm. It's normal to know more information than ordinary people.
."
Anyang frowned, shook his head and said: "No, according to the truth, you have to be at least a first-level person before you can hear the news about Tongtian City."
Anyang's words made Cao Su smell something unusual. He was silent for a while and then said: "Of course someone told me."
"What exactly is Tongtian City?"
Cao Su asked again.
Although he already had a basic idea of Tongtian City, he wanted to know more information from different people.
Anyang said silently: "Tongtian City is the most mysterious and powerful place in the world. Tongtian City is well aware of every move of the Qianyuan Dynasty. It can even be said that although Tongtian City does not care about worldly affairs, it also happened to become a martial artist in the Qianyuan Dynasty.
The most desirable existence, no one will refuse a higher platform and a broader road to the future."
"Especially when the life span exceeds the limit, the pursuit of longevity in martial arts has become the ultimate pursuit of many warriors."
Anyang's so-called "immortality in martial arts" made Cao Su slightly change his face.
Practicing martial arts will lead to immortality?
The Mysterious Realm only lasts for five hundred years. Beyond this Xuan Realm, are there higher realms and longer lifespans? If you continue to practice and live as wide as the world, wouldn’t you really be like a god?
"There are secret books and treasures in Tongtian City. If you enter Tongtian City to practice, even a pig can enter the realm of strength after practicing for ten or eight years."
Anyang's understanding of Tongtian City is obviously clearer than Weng Xiao's.
Cao Su thought of the two inspectors of the Xuan Realm again.
All those in the Xuan Realm must enter the realm battlefield to fight, but only the Inspectors are exempt from this restriction.
"Are you about to enter the mysterious realm?"
Cao Su lowered his head and looked at Anyang. The aura on Anyang's body was erratic. Sometimes, Cao Su felt that she had exceeded the limit of the first rank, but sometimes, Cao Su felt that she was still the first rank.
Anyang shook his head: "There is still a distance."
Cao Su remembered Anyang at that time. One finger could make him incapacitated. As a result, he was so strong that he had not yet entered the mysterious realm. The difference between the mysterious realm and the power realm was too great, and the difficulty of breaking through had also increased exponentially.
.
It is difficult for those without great perseverance and intelligence to break through.
“How do you break through?”
Cao Su asked sincerely: "How can I help you?"
A person who is at the second level of strength realm cares about the breakthrough of a person at the first level. Ordinary people simply cannot do this. But when Cao Su did it, Anyang not only didn't think it was outrageous, but was also slightly moved.
She shook her head: "There is no other way, just insist on practicing dual cultivation with me."
Cao Su will definitely insist on dual cultivation. Even if he cannot help Anyang break through to the mysterious realm, he will still help. This is his basic virtue of the times based on his willingness to help others.
What about dual cultivation?
Cao Su frowned: "First-level realm, how can I step into the profound realm?"
This is asking for advice. If it is someone else in the arena, it will involve exploring the secrets of the other party's cultivation, and there will inevitably be a storm.
But Anyang is not a Jianghu person. Now that she and Cao Su are honest with each other, they naturally tell everything they know.
"From the realm of strength to the realm of mystery, that is the change of 'god'."
"The change of 'god'?"
Cao Su's eyes lit up and he silently remembered it in his heart.
"Yes, the change of 'gods'. Everyone who practices martial arts has a 'god'. Some people's 'gods' are stronger, and some people's 'gods' are weaker. The stronger the 'god', the more powerful the 'god' is."
It can lead to a breakthrough in the mysterious realm."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "In Taoist secrets, 'god' can also be understood as 'divine consciousness'. Of course, 'divine consciousness' and 'god' are still different after all.
, and cannot be completely confused.”
"Generally speaking, after the 'god' changes, warriors can more clearly feel the existence of the vitality of heaven and earth."
"We warriors cultivate themselves, but it does not mean that we do not respond to the heaven and the earth. If we want to step into the mysterious realm, what we have to do is to 'unify the gods and heaven', so that our bodies can escape between the heaven and the earth, and we can begin to comprehend the mysteries.
The supreme great road, the Tao exists in the heart, and all things arise mysteriously."
"This is the mysterious realm."
Anyang became excited when she talked about cultivation. She struggled to sit upright from Cao Su's arms and reached out to push Cao Su away.
After all, he was a martial artist of the first level of strength. With a slight push, Cao Su could only be forced to let go of his hands.
Anyang's jade finger gently pointed at Cao Su's chest.
Cao Su reflexively stretched out his hand to make a sound, and Anyang's finger obviously stopped. However, from a distance, it still hit Cao Su. Cao Su suddenly felt a "boom" all over his body, as if he had been plunged into boundless darkness.
The darkness flashed past and disappeared in an instant, and at this moment, his eyes had automatically started to operate as Fire Boy.
Purple and red light flowed quietly in his eyes, leaving Anyang stunned.
"Do you still have supernatural powers?"
"what did you do to me?"
The two asked questions at the same time, and Anyang was shocked: "How many magical powers do you have?"
Cao Su put away the fire boy and took a closer look at the darkness that suddenly appeared just now. It was as if he had seen the coldest dark world, and everything in the world had disappeared.
"Is this your magical power?"
Cao Su suddenly understood. What Anyang Yu pointed at just now must be her magical power.
What does her supernatural power mean?
He felt as if he had been stripped away from the world at that moment.
