The Demon Soul is Coming

A certain boy looked at his sister who was practicing swords, and his imagination was running wild, but the two sisters had already put away their swords and disappeared. ◎Smart kids remember super fast hand typing updates.◎

Xia Yingchen floated over: "Husband?"

Liu Sang coughed dryly, put away his wild thoughts, and looked at his sister-in-law who was panting on the other side: "Don't move!" Facing her, he formed a circle with his hands and drank "Bing, Jue". Xia Zhaowu immediately felt as if she was bathed in the spring breeze, and her exhaustion was swept away.

Xia Zhaowu was surprised and surprised: "What kind of technique is this? It's so easy to use?"

Liu Sang shrugged: "Five qi repaying pill curse."

Xia Yingchen pondered and said: "Although this curse is good, it can only be used by people who trust each other, or the strength of the caster is far weaker than the caster, otherwise, the caster should be wary and protect you." If the body profound energy is activated naturally, it will be ineffective."

Liu Sang nodded. The five-qi-returning-elixir curse is to use the five-qi to adjust the five elements of other people's bodies, restore the spirit and restore the spirit, and restore the body to return the pill. At this time, if the caster has bad intentions, the caster will easily fall will be counted.Just like just now, if the lady wasn't here, he could easily knock her unconscious and then...

Xia Yingchen said: "What's your husband's business?"

Liu Sang said: "Auntie Piao said that she will arrive at her destination soon, and I will tell you so that you can get ready."

Xia Yingchen nodded, but took out the Thunder Sword and a secret book and handed them to Liu Sang.

Liu Sang said: "This is..."

Xia Yingchen said: "This is the 'Nine Heavens Responding to Yuan Method' if it is combined with Lei Jian, the effect will be even better.Although the Nine Heavens Yingyuan method is a double cultivation of Lei Wu.But my husband has the free and unfettered method of controlling qi as the foundation, no matter what kind of kung fu is easy to practice, if Zhao Wu hadn't learned the free and unfettered method of controlling qi, I would not be able to teach her the method of flying to heaven and earth. "

Nine Heavens should respond to Yuan Law?She can even get the Jiutian Yingyuan method?The more Liu Sang thought about it, the more strange it became.

Xia Yingchen said: "At that time, the Lei Sword was originally given to Husband, but I took it away again, and now it is just returned to Husband. Although the 'Nine Heavens Yingyuan Method' wanted to give it to Husband earlier, Husband has a few days ago I have been learning yin and yang spells all the time, and my mind is divided into two uses, which is always bad for a person's practice. So wait until now."

Liu Sang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Lady, keep this secret book first. I'm more interested in yin and yang spells now. But it's very difficult to hide such superior exercises as the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Method if you hide it on your body." Resist its temptation."

Xia Yingchen nodded slightly, first put away the "Nine Heavens Yingyuan Method", and gave it to Liu Sang when he asked for it later.He said again, "The Thunder Sword?"

Liu Sang sullenly said, "Lady, when you took Lei Jian away, you gave me Xue Jian."

Xia Yingchen let out an "oh", retracted the Thunder Sword, and just passed the Snow Sword over.Liu Sang took Xuejian.Very happy look.

The three of them walked outside. Seeing her brother-in-law smiling so happily, Xia Zhaowu puffed her cheeks and said, "I really don't understand, I don't want the Thunder Sword, I'm so happy to get the Snow Sword. No matter how you look at it, the Snow Sword is more suitable for women ?As a big man, he wants Xue Jian instead of Lei Jian, and is so happy, I really can't stand you."

Liu Sang chuckled, what do you know about movies, little girl?He didn't intend to use the sword originally, but.Lei Jian was originally on his side, but Xue Jian belonged to his wife. Lei Jian and Xue Jian were exchanged, and it felt like exchanging love objects. This was the reason why he wanted Xue Jian instead of Lei Jian.

Naturally, the Toad Palace would not fly directly into Ningyun City, but landed on the sea to the east of Ningyun City.

Xia Yingchen, Liu Sang, Xia Zhaowu and others came to the entrance of the palace and looked at the calm sea ahead.Not long after, dozens of warships came galloping in the distance, and the flags of Ningyun City were flying on them.

A big man stood on the leading battleship. When he saw them, he was surprised at first, and then laughed loudly: "Princess, military advisor, you are finally back."

This person is Wu Yigang, one of the two lieutenants beside Zhao Wugeng.

This place is only a dozen miles away from the coast of Ningyun City. Before Xia Yingchen and Liu Sang left Ningyun City, due to Liu Sang's suggestion, Ningyun City's development strategy was mainly to build docks and warships on the sea, and to Draw Zu Hai into your sphere of influence.In the history of China, the sea has never been paid attention to, not to mention that since the collapse of Shenzhou, there are quicksand rivers that can sink even goose feathers everywhere in the outer sea. "The Zuhai faction headed by Zhao Wugeng, also because of the help of Yugong, naturally did not encounter much hindrance, and formed a situation of dominance in the sea on the east side of Hezhou.

It is precisely because of this that the toad palace fell from the sky and was immediately discovered. Wu Yigang didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly led the crowd to come.

Xia Yingchen and others sailed to the coast in a warship. The news of the return of the princess, princess, and Fuma soon spread to Ningyun City. Lumen Hou Xiaqi couldn't wait to come out to meet her. Seeing that her two daughters were safe and sound, she finally Take it easy.Along with Xia Qi came the trio of little brats Jin Tianmei, Jin Tiantian, and Xia Xia. Xia Xia was also very happy to see Master return.

Back at Hou's Mansion, I saw Xiaozhu again. What surprised Liu Sang was that Xiaozhu had lost a lot of weight. Without him beside me to supervise her running every morning, how could she still lose weight?Miracle oh miracle.

When Xiaozhu saw him, she was in tears. This damned master, who has been away for so long and only now came back, made people worry to death.

***

Ningyun City, Hou Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

Luminghou, Xia Yingchen, Liu Sang, city guard Huangsong, Zhao Wugeng and some important generals gathered together.

Huang Song said: "During the past few months when the princess and Fuma left, Hezhou has undergone many changes. The imperial court sent troops to conquer Dingbei Hou. I thought Dingbei Hou was old and had no famous generals under his seat. It’s a big defeat. The imperial court lost its prestige, and even some minor princes broke away from the imperial court one after another. There are bandits everywhere, and the people are in dire straits. Compared with the beginning of the year, it is even more chaotic.”

Liu Sang shook his head and said: "The imperial court's conquest of Dingbeihou was the most wrong decision from the very beginning. I thought it was killing a chicken for the monkeys to see, but who knew it was a tiger. Dingbeihou's prestige in Caobei Town is too high. As long as he doesn't die for a day, Cao Beizhen will be impenetrable."

Lu Minghou said: "But news came from the north that Yingchen assassinated Dingbeihou, I don't know what happened."

Xia Yingchen sighed lightly: "The one who pretended to be his daughter to assassinate Dingbeihou was Bi Ying from the Yinyang family's Xingmen. Although he was framed, Bi Ying is dead, so it's hard to explain."

Liu Sang shrugged: "No matter how prestige Dingbeihou is, his power is in the north of Hezhou, and Ningyun City is in the southeast of Hezhou, and we offend him. It's no big deal, no matter how the chaos in Hezhou is. In the end, the one who will finally unify Hezhou will not be the Marquis of Dingbei."

Xia Yingchen said: "How do you say that?"

Liu Sang said: "The Marquis of Dingbei has a very high reputation. The generals under him seem to be nameless, but they are actually masters of tigers and wolves. But that's the only way. Once Marquis Dingbei is gone, Cao Beizhen will never be able to go out like Dingbei. Beihou is generally a world-leading figure who controls the overall situation, no matter how heroic Dingbeihou is, his age is his biggest blemish. It is not a problem to defend Caobei Town, but Unified Hezhou is powerless. When he dies, no one in Caobei Town Anyone who can't be restrained will definitely be in chaos."

Everyone thought about it carefully, and felt that this was indeed the case.

Liu Sang said: "Actually, it's like Cao Beizhen. The court just needs to leave it alone. Marquis Dingbei is not a serious threat to the court. Once he dies, Cao Beizhen will definitely be in chaos. In the end, it will be dragged or beaten. You can relax Solved. It's a pity that the tiger doesn't show its power, they just want to treat it as a sick cat, and treat a tiger like Marquis Dingbei as a chicken that can scare monkeys. "

Zhao Wugeng sighed: "I remember when the imperial court dispatched troops to Caobei Town. The military division had already analyzed that the situation would definitely become like this. It really hit the nail on the head."

Huang Song said: "In the past few months, we have made a lot of money by selling glass, especially the trade with Yangzhou and Chuzhou, which has allowed us to make a lot of money. But even so, we also encountered some The troublesome thing is first of all that some small princes in the surrounding area are ignorant. Although we have cooperated with them in some small businesses and let them share some oil and water according to the instructions of the military adviser, the sudden wealth of Ningyun City still makes them greedy. After the princess left, some Xiao Xiaoxiao started to move around, fortunately, General Zhao is here, but both General Zhao and Vice General Wu are here, and there is only Vice General Nangong in Zuhai, but the sea road has become less peaceful."

He continued: "However, compared to the surrounding small princes and some rogues who suddenly appeared by sea, the biggest threat comes from Mount Lianzhu. He is known as the Overlord of East Vietnam, and beside him are Zhuge Kuang, Zhu Ju and other powerful generals. They recruited refugees from all over the world to join them, attacked cities and villages, and their power has grown tremendously." He marked the current sphere of influence of this gang of rogues on the map .

Liu Sang was surprised: "It has developed so fast?"

Zhao Wugeng said: "Since Lianzhuzhai took the lead, it has annexed the surrounding towns all the way. If this continues, it is inevitable to hit Ningyun City. Although Ningyun City has also started to recruit troops recently, I am afraid it will still be difficult to resist."

Liu Sang said, "What background does Xue Zhong have?"

Huang Song said: "I can't find out at all, I just say that it's the people who can't survive, and they lead the uprising..."

Liu Sang sneered: "Without a background, I'm afraid it's the biggest background."

Xia Yingchen said: "How to say?"

Liu Sang said: "The chaos in Hezhou this time is not because the low-level people have reached the point where there is no way out. In the final analysis, it is just like the time of Shang Zhou. It is the conflict between the central government and the local princes, just like the warring states Normally, the princes stand side by side, and ordinary people have no right to speak at all. In this situation, it is difficult for a person with no background to stand up and respond to everyone."

Xia Yingchen nodded and said: "Yes, there are many princes, and there are people who abuse the people, but like us, there are quite a few who treat the people relatively well. In some places, the people have started to riot, but most of them are suppressed as soon as they show their heads. , especially the southeastern area of ​​Hezhou, is not the main battlefield where the imperial court and the feudal lords attack each other, and it has not yet reached the point where refugees are everywhere and the people are in dire straits, it is hard to imagine that a bandit with no background can develop so fast."

Liu Sang said: "So, the overlord of East Vietnam must have a bigger force behind him secretly supporting him, paying him money and things, especially a large number of weapons and various siege equipment."

Zhao Wugeng nodded, and said: "This is exactly what we suspected. As a group of rioting refugees, Lianzhuzhai asked for money, money, food, and food. They conquered towns along the way, and their siege equipment was surprisingly good."

Liu Sang said: "Behind them, there must be a big benefactor."

Xia Yingchen said: "But what kind of funder can afford such financial resources?"

Liu Sang looked at the map.His eyes flickered: "I only think of one person... Duke Yu."

Everyone was immediately moved.

Liu Sang said: "We are developing glass and overseas trade, and the biggest impact is Xihai Town, because the glass business in Hezhou was all monopolized in the hands of Lord Zhiyu, and the strait between Hezhou and Yangzhou was also controlled by Zhiyu. Controlled by the public office, the taxes collected alone are enough to make them rich. But now, we are leading the surrounding towns to develop overseas trade, which will definitely have an impact on Xihai Town. At least they are forced to no longer pay heavy taxes and have to lower their taxes. If tariffs have only a slight impact on taxation, then our glass business has completely replaced the glazed glass that was previously monopolized by Mr. Zhiyu. The cost of colored glaze is higher and the output is less. Even so, it is already huge profits, not to mention The glass we made? It is impossible not to be envious of the wealth we have accumulated in the past few months, but his main goal now is to overthrow the imperial court, so at least on the surface, he still needs to connect and win over all parties. The princes, even if they are jealous, they can't blatantly target us, so they contribute money and efforts to develop another force that is controlled by him remotely."

Zhao Wugeng pondered: "Recently, several groups of pirates of unknown origin have appeared in the open sea. We have lost several merchant ships one after another. The strange thing is that no matter how we track them down, we can't find out where they are hiding..."

Liu Sang said indifferently: "How can someone who can rob us within Zu Hai's sphere of influence and escape calmly afterwards be an ordinary pirate?"

Lumen Hou se changed his mind: "What should I do?" Xihai Town has a huge sphere of influence.It was the two great princes who stood side by side with Cao Beizhen, and it would be hard to end well if they offended Lord Zhiyu.

Xia Yingchen looked at Liu Sang: "What's your idea?"

Liu Sang said: "Unless we completely give up overseas trade and glass business, we will be able to dispel Young Yu Gong's covetous eyes on us, but Xue Gang's power has already been established, no matter whether we give up or not, he will continue to grow, and if we don't develop, Then it’s really a man for a knife, and I for a fish, and when someone kills me, I really have to be a little girl lying on the bed obediently.”

Although he was figurative, but the princess is here, so it's not easy for everyone to laugh.

Xia Yingchen said: "How should I do it?"

Liu Sang said: "It's okay, we are uneasy, the little princes around us must be feeling anxious at the moment, and they just take advantage of..."

***

At the end of the meeting, Liu Sang returned to his garden and took some exams for Xia Xia.

In terms of Yi learning, Xia Xia actually doesn't need his supervision anymore. She seems to be born for Yi learning, and understands by analogy. For the "Book of Changes", which is almost a book for ordinary people, she can learn it at once, and understand it at a glance, especially Especially in divination, it is even more outstanding.

The summer in Hezhou is far hotter than Juejizhou. Even if you sit at home, you will sweat.

In the evening, the master and the apprentice discussed the Book of Changes outside the house among the flowers. Liu Sang herself wore a short gown, while the little girl wore a short dress made of thin silk with sleeves covering only the shoulders. The skirt was only knee-length, with a narrow hem, covering the small buttocks and thighs. In the era when there were no Confucian ethics, it was normal for girls to dress like this, and it didn't matter whether they were formal or not.If it is divided according to the otaku family, Liu Sang feels that he is both a royal sister control and a Luo Li control, but the correct classification of "Luo Li" should be the age group from twelve to 16 years old. If it is controlled, then it is not Luo Likong, but a scumbag, and Liu Sang has not yet reached the point of a scumbag.

There was nothing to teach in "Book of Changes", or in other words, it would have been good not to let Xia Xia teach him. Liu Sang began to ask her to recite "Moon Order".

But before reciting it a few times, the little girl was a bit shy, Liu Sang knew that this girl was not as daring as Xiaomei, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she said with a smile: "What do you want to ask Master? "

Xia Xia whispered: "Master, when will you teach me the exercises?"

Liu Sang asked in astonishment: "You want to learn exercises?" He thought that this girl was not very interested in fighting or anything, and her talent should be in Yi Xue.

The little girl rubbed the corner of her clothes: "In the past few times, I went out to fight with Xiaomei Xiaotian and the others. Every time I couldn't help, I always dragged them down..."

"Fight?" Liu Sang wondered, "Who are you fighting with?"

Xiaomei and Xiaotian are the disciples of the lady in name, and Xia Xia is the apprentice of his horse-attached general who is also a military adviser. Who in Ningyun City would dare to provoke them?

The little girl looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, Liu Sang was even more curious, she followed her advice carefully, and finally understood the general idea.

It turned out that the group that opposed Xiaomei and the others was led by Zhao Xiaochong, the son of "Haiba" Zhao Wugeng. His original name was Zhao Helong. After giving him the nickname "Little Worm", all the children called him that.Next to Zhao Xiaochong is Wu Xiaoji, who is Wu Yigang's daughter. Although she is only nine years old, she is thick and strong, and she looks like a father in fights.

How did the two parties come to be against each other? By now, these little brats probably have almost forgotten about it, but when you think about it, it is actually a very normal thing. Zhao Xiaochong and Wu Xiaoji are all They moved here from Zu Island, and their family members are either pirates or fishermen. Xiaomei Xiaotian and the group gathered around them are all second-generation rich and second-generation officials. In the online articles of the previous life, they were the kind of villains who were domineering and arrogant and then were slapped in the face by the protagonist, but in reality, they came from a family of martial arts like Zhengyimen, and they were highly talented. Among young children, only they can slap others in the face, and others can't slap them in the face.
