31. The Central Plains War (close the door and release the beast)
It can be said that until Li Shushi walked out of that depressing place underground, he still felt in a trance.
At this time, the sky outside has been shrouded in darkness. If it weren't for the lingering clouds, maybe we could see the magnificent starry sky. Unfortunately, we can't see anything now, just like Li Shushi's mood at this time.
However, several girls didn't seem to care much about his mood at this time. They were gathering around, looking at the crystal ball that they had obtained inexplicably, marveling at the real-life pictures inside, and the delicate and gorgeous balls.
Appearance and reluctant to leave.
The night in early spring still retains the lingering power of the biting cold wind in winter, but the unique coldness of winter has faded away. The night wind in the evening slowly sweeps past, bringing with it a somewhat unfamiliar freshness and fragrance.
How long has it been since you felt this way?
As if disturbed by this fragrance that could not appear in the troubled world, Li Shushi raised his head that had been lowered. His eyes with little focus gradually became a little brighter, and then he gradually became intoxicated with the vitality that should belong to spring.
abundant.
"You've been in a strange state ever since I learned the name of this 'Earth Spirit Pearl'. Is there something you're hiding from us?"
After washing away all the dust, the Lingzhu, which was originally watched by the girls, has returned to Li Shushi. Su Xiaololi, who is gently arranging his long hair next to him, has an unconcealable curiosity on her face, as well as a well-concealed expression.
worry.
"It's not a big deal. I just heard some things from Huanglong Baoyu that I shouldn't have heard, such as 'White Tiger Hot Pot' and so on. Then I was threatened, so I'm a little worried."
"Hmph~ You're doing this to me, such a stupid kid, everything that's on your mind is written on his face."
"Ooooooo, I suddenly feel so painful. I feel so tired that I don't love anymore. I have no love left in my life."
"Changing the topic is also prohibited!"
"But speaking of it, this bead is really magical. I feel like I can finally sleep well tonight."
"Is this something that even I can't know... Could it be that this 'earth pearl' is actually a beauty even more beautiful than I, so my husband, you like the new and dislike the old? I didn't expect that I have such a hard life..."
Although he clearly knew that the other party was just making fun of him, the strength of his hand was still just right. But he still couldn't help but worry and apologize. After all, there are some things that people would not accept even just saying them.
The night was as cold as water, but the delicate body in his arms was so hot, but Li Shushi could not bring up any charming thoughts. The spirit bead in his hand still looked like that. Although it made people feel mysterious just looking at it.
There is no five-color divine light to set it off, just like Mother Earth, low-key and plain but full of affection.
Li Shushi's previous statement that he would have a good sleep tonight was not false. Although he was disturbed by complicated thoughts at the moment and had no intention of sleeping, today's night was the most beautiful night he had felt in a while.
There is no longer that depressing smell and atmosphere in the air, and the resentful spirit that seems to be unable to let go does not seem to be whispering in the ears. All the illusions seem to be far away from this place, making this place once again become the place that makes people feel...
The land of longing.
And all of this is naturally brought about by the spirit beads in his hands.
Just like what I felt in that miraculous cave.
Let all evils be warded off and let the evil spirits rest in peace.
Although in the subsequent exploration, we will still encounter various monsters transformed by negative energy, especially those difficult ghost soldiers, it seems that except for the short but quiet fork in the road,
Outside of the journey, the density of monsters never decreases, and the degree of madness of monsters only increases but never weakens.
But there seems to be something different - they will no longer be surrounded by fog, and they don't need to face the scary bitterness and strange-tasting concoction that makes people shiver before and after departure.
, they can even rest peacefully after an exhausting battle, adjust their breath in a peaceful environment, and replenish the materials they have consumed.
The most important thing is that this spirit bead is really like Mother Earth, nourishing the children living on it. Within the range covered by this spirit bead, the creatures have faster physical strength, HP and MP.
The recovery speed also seems to be more concentrated, the reaction seems to be faster, and the strength is stronger.
Of course, except for the recovery speed, the remaining items may only have psychological effects. After all, there are no quantitative indicators to prove these effects, but this feeling undoubtedly gave the soldiers a powerful shot in the arm and increased their enthusiasm for fighting.
It became even higher, and the morale that I had been worried about rose instead of falling. You could often see the brilliance of fatal blows flashing on the soldiers' bodies - the dazzling brilliance that came and went, completely lighting up the dark underground world.
However, no one saw the slightly weird expression on Li Shushi's face at this time.
Of course, Li Shushi, who saw the soaring morale of the exploration squadron, would not say anything to discourage everyone. He buried his doubts deep in his heart, but the doubts in his heart became more and more as he learned more about the spirit beads.
And keep increasing.
Why does this treasure appear here?
Why did the original owner of this treasure put this treasure here?
How is this treasure related to the yellow dragon girl in the sky who always likes to stay at home?
No one could explain it to him, and it seemed that he had to rely on himself for everything.
even……
Looking at Su Xiaoluoli who seemed to be sleeping soundly next to him, Li Shushi didn't know if she was really asleep. After all, she was like a mother who cared about her young son. Any disturbance would wake her up, just so that she would not miss every little thing about her child.
needs.
It's just that Li Shuzhen's only need now is to let the beauty around him sleep peacefully. She has done enough for him, and he doesn't want to add more burdens to her shoulders because of his curiosity.
Especially when there might be a person behind this burden that she doesn't know how to face.
Is this considered a man’s responsibility?
Li Shushi didn't know very well, but after being cared for by others for so long, he should gradually become more independent.
Even if it makes the people who love him worry, even if it may disappoint the people who love him, just like a child in the rebellious period, what he longs for is not the care of his family, but the recognition of his efforts by his family... At least, it also makes him
There is a process of no regrets, even if it is a youthful mistake.
However, after all, this body contains a soul in his thirties, and he still knows the bottom line of wanton behavior.
It's time to sleep, we need to continue exploring more unknown areas tomorrow.
However, the exploration plan originally planned for the next day had to be temporarily interrupted due to an unexpected news.
"What? You said that instead of alienating Sun Ce, Yuan Shu allowed him to lead an army to attack Yuan Shao's army and win a complete victory?!"
Having said that, this news is really exciting. In every sense of the word.
Well, the first half of the sentence is actually just old news, and the second half is the crux of the news.
However, the first half of the sentence is old news, but for Li Shushi, it is also quite surprising.
It has to be said that Yuan Shu's personal image is really stereotyped for Li Shushi, a time traveler. After being bombarded by various games and the history written by the victors, he really can't draw any conclusion that is beneficial to Yuan Shu. Even
That stupid act of proclaiming himself emperor was the "glorious pinnacle" of his seeking death in his life. His subsequent betrayal and death due to "honey water" was just a continuation and annotation of his many funny behaviors.
Even though he came to this era and saw a quite unique Yuan Shu, he still couldn't shake Li Shushi's perception.
After all, even in the history written by the victors, Yuan Shu's first half of his life was pretty decent. Although there were some second-rate behaviors, he was generally a good young man with a positive image. Even though he was worried about Sun Jian's reputation among the scholars at that time.
He is a very bad and restless guy who has committed some very unscrupulous actions. But when necessary, he can immediately put aside his prejudices and extend a hand of friendship to him. In the end, it depends on the other person's outstanding performance.
to suppress its suppression of the southern Central Plains region.
The most important thing is that Sun Jian, who did not think he had obtained the destiny because he did not obtain the jade seal, did not burst out with any extra ambition, and was more sincere in his cooperation with Yuan Shu. This may be what a certain butterfly brought.
coming variables.
Li Shushi didn't know why Yuan Shu in the plane he was familiar with first idled and then restricted Sun Ce, even though he had already shown his talent. Maybe it was because of the national jade seal? Or maybe he thought that the other party was unruly and difficult to tame? Or was it just to look at Sun Ce?
It's not pleasing to the eye, after all, young and handsome men are very lethal to young girls and young women, but they are serious enemies to old men who were once young and handsome but have now entered the middle-aged crisis due to various reasons. Maybe Yuan Shu's wives and concubines are still for it.
I complained about this.
But now, at the moment, Yuan Shu is using the powerful Sun Ce to create one miraculous victory after another.
Of course, we can't ignore the man standing behind Sun Ce - we can be sure that the man is indeed the good friend of Sun Ce, an American wolf who is also young and handsome but a little more elegant, oh
No, it's Mizuro.
Well, hello, brother Gongjin. Goodbye, brother Gongjin. You don’t need to listen to my Tamago-chan’s music.
This pair of good friends together really exerted far more power than three - at least the remaining three of the Four Court Pillars in Hebei, except for Jiang Qi who was far away in Qingzhou to help Yuan Tan, could not suppress the violent force.
Sun Ce allowed him to retreat calmly after killing three of Yuan Shao's generals. This terrifying force had turned the plan set up by Tian Feng and others into nothing.
Later, under the methodical control of American Wolf, Sun Ce willingly transformed into a conductor in the hands of his good friend, allowing him to play gorgeous music.
Of course, for Yuan Shaojun, it was a low and depressing death movement.
So after Cao Cao's army was defeated by Sun Ce several times, Yuan Shao's army also enjoyed the same treatment.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, two good friends, should probably hug each other and cry together at this time.
Li Shushi thought maliciously.
Relying on Sun Ce's terrifying performance, it seems that the coalition forces of Yuan Shu and Cao Bao only need to wave the flag and shout from behind, and then they can collect a lot of benefits. Anyway, for Sun Ce, it seems that he has no idea what territory to fight for.
Or he is not interested in seeking any official position, but only a hearty war can satisfy his growing appetite.
So who will be the next opponent of this ferocious beast whose reputation spreads throughout the Central Plains?
Even Li Shushi, who had been buried underground in Luoyang before, now had to start to face this problem squarely.
only……
"Has Yuan Benchu submitted an application for reinforcements to us?"
"Perhaps it's because of a new defeat, or maybe you feel that your defeat is just because your footing is not stable, or you simply don't want us to intervene. Anyway, so far we haven't seen the slightest sign of Yuan Shao asking for help."
"Well, in that case, let's prepare the troops and let's continue drilling the tunnel tomorrow."
Even so, both Li Shushi and the civil servants and generals under his command knew very well that there was not much time left before they could participate in this large-scale battle. After all, Liu Bei on the eastern front and Yuan Tan, who had been suppressed, could not raise their heads.
.If the war situation on the Eastern Front collapses, what Yuan Shao will face is no longer a slight disadvantage but a question of how to save his life.
Therefore, there is not much time left for the Bingzhou Army to live freely in Henan, but fortunately, they have also seen the light of day.
"Fengxian, from the battle report, what do you think Sun Ce's strength is now?"
After the meeting, Lu Bu stayed behind under the signal from Li Shushi's eyes. When Dian Wei had just confirmed that he and Lu Bu were the only two people in the military tent, he couldn't wait to speak out the problem in his mind.
There was undisguised worry on his face.
"This kind of thing is difficult to see from the battle report alone. Only by actually fighting can we determine the opponent's true strength."
Lu Bu's answer was quite polite, or because he didn't know Li Shushi's true intention, Xiaoqiang chose a conservative rhetoric.
"First Xiahou Yuanrang, then Xiahou Miaocai, Cao Zixiao and Li Mancheng, then Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan and four generals. Although it is probably easy for both Tong Laotou and Wang Yue to do this, but
That Sun Cecai
How old you are, you can have such strength, I always feel that this is a bit unbelievable. Not to mention that we have also experienced many things that cannot be explained by common sense. I always feel like a storm is coming.
It feels like the whole building is full.”
"Are you afraid of losing us? It's not like we've never lost our companions before. Why are we so mother-in-law? As long as we don't get tricked by military advisors, isn't it quite romantic to say, 'The man returns wrapped in horse leather'?"
"No, I don't mean that, and I'm not that fragile. It's just that I suspect that our future opponents will not only be the heroes who exist in this world, but we may also encounter some weirder enemies."
"Like those 'ghost soldiers' we encountered underground?"
"Well, looking at their fighting methods, they were either ordinary people or had a little knowledge of using weapons, but after turning into such monsters, they became extremely difficult to deal with. So I was thinking at that time, what if they were ordinary people when they were alive?
He is a hero, so after becoming such a 'thing', will it also become more terrifying?"
"Huh? Is there any other way to say this? But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is indeed likely to be the case. Very good!"
To Li Shushi's expectation, Lu Bu did not show a thoughtful expression, but instead seemed very happy.
Could it be that "after accepting this setting, it's quite interesting to think about it"?
"I'm still thinking that the future may be boring! Although neither Tong Yuan nor Wang Yue can be surpassed by me now, I believe that as long as I work hard, they will eventually become the tears of the times in your mouth.
'. But at that time, what should I do when I have reached the top? Speaking of which, I was once confused. After all, I have been to the Western Regions and walked through the depths of the grassland. Maybe I will meet a master.
But in comparison, he is at Wang Yue's level at most.
You have to know that for people like me, my thoughts are never complicated. As long as I watch my wife and children laughing and laughing every day, and then have a group of brothers who can fight with me, and finally find an opponent to fight with me, I will use it for the rest of my life.
I have the motivation to keep living.
How about it, are you moved by my ‘great’ dream?”
"Yes, yes, yes, I care about you, I care about you, but when the time comes, don't complain that the enemy is too strong and you can't turn the tide."
"Hey~ It's just what I want. It's boring to fight with those bastards. I'd better let Yun Chang do things like 'cutting the grass'."
This kind of Xiaoqiang is probably the Xiaoqiang I have become familiar with over the past few years.
Looking at the familiar appearance of my friend, I always feel warm in my heart, as if I can overcome any difficulties.
Therefore, the dream that originally existed in my heart and made me palpitate was still buried.
For them, perhaps it would be better to keep things simple and without complaint.
Those weird sins are still your responsibility.
Isn’t this statement a little bit cool?
Sure enough, even if you have been a soul for more than thirty years, at some point you still can't help but develop a cute disease called "secondary syndrome" and feel like you are the savior.
"Well, let's use Sun Ce, who is said to be very fearful, as a whetstone. It's time to let those arrogant soldiers have a taste of the world. They always feel that they are 'invincible in the world.'
It’s not good, but it’s a pity that I still felt that I didn’t have a suitable excuse to train them before.”
"Practice them, practice them, hehe~ I like this job."
"Yes, I like it very much too."
I don't know when, but everyone in the Bingzhou Army felt a cold wind blowing through their backs, making them feel extremely sad.
Should I shout "My journey is the stars and the sea" at the end?
Li Shushi seems to be planning to spread her chuuni virus.
