Chapter 168: Capture the thief first capture the king(1/3)
I haven't recovered from my cold. I have a bad cough and feel dizzy. I won't break it into chapters. Please forgive me, brothers.
==============
Huang Shaohong entered the Zhao Palace early the next morning. At this time, Xiaocheng's Hou Mansion had not yet been built, and the whole family was living in the palace.
After Huang Shaohong met Emperor Ji Jie and Zhao Hou Xiaocheng, he proposed to change the "Dragon Palace" to the "Sword God Palace" and also proposed to recruit erudite people from all over the world to enter the palace as professors.
The two of them agreed with what he said. The emperor Ji Jie immediately issued an order to announce the affairs of the "Sword God Palace" to the world. He also named Zou Yan as the "Jian God Palace" to offer wine, and named the great Confucian Liu Huasheng as an academic officer.
Doctor Lu.
Huang Shaohong got the emperor's order, and after making a set of psychological suggestion packages for Xiaocheng, he returned to the Dragon Palace... No, it should be called the 'Sword God Palace' now.
When he returned to the 'Sword God Palace', Zou Yan and Liu Huasheng had been waiting for him here for a long time. What he didn't expect was that the talented girl from Ji University also came. The three of them were drinking tea in the hall accompanied by Yuan Zong.
The two sisters, Shanrou and Zhao Zhi, were leaning against the door of the hall holding their swords, looking at Ji Yanran with a look of caution in their eyes.
Zou Yanlai came with his luggage. He was a guest in Liu Huasheng's house and could not always live there. Since he was going to serve as a sacrificial wine in the 'Sword God Palace', it was natural for him to move here.
Huang Shaohong naturally welcomed the founder of the Yin-Yang Sect and the recognized great master of Taoism when he came to live in the Jian Shen Palace. He arranged a room for Zou Yan, helped put all the luggage, and asked Ji Yanran: "How do you discipline Ji Yanran?"
Is the talented woman here too?"
Ji Yanran seemed to have lost her sense of fear and strangeness towards him, the sword god and grand master, and said with a sweet smile:
"Mr. Zou and I are living together in the Liu Mansion. Now that Mr. Zou has moved into the Jian Shen Palace, it will naturally be inconvenient for me to stay in the Liu Mansion. Naturally, I have to find a new place for myself. I think your Jian Shen Palace is very good.
What, you’re not trying to chase me out, are you?”
Huang Shaohong waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "No problem, just remember to pay the rent!"
"Rent?" Ji Yanran had obviously never heard of this word. In this era of vast land and sparse population, it was impossible to rent a house, but with her intelligence, she understood the meaning of this word after a second thought.
He rolled his eyes at Huang Shaohong angrily and said angrily: "As the current Grand Master, can you be a little more tolerant? Besides, I don't live here in vain. I can also teach in your Sword God Palace. I, Ji Yanran, can learn from it."
Bai Jia, both civil and military, and the second-ranked swordsman in the Wei Kingdom, how can he be a gentleman in your Sword God Palace?"
Huang Shaohong was immediately happy. He didn't care if the other party was here to eat and drink for free, but being able to trick the most talented woman in the world to help him was a good thing that even money could not buy.
Upon hearing this, Shanrou suddenly stepped forward and interjected: "Are you the second swordsman in the Wei Kingdom? You won't know until you fight him or not!"
Ji Yanran didn't know why this woman was hostile to her from the beginning, but she was extremely smart and looked at Huang Shaohong, as if she had some realization.
Facing Shanrou's provocation, her smile did not change and she just said calmly:
"Okay, this sister is welcome to come to me to learn swordsmanship at any time. However, I am also proficient in the essence of classics from many schools such as medicine, Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, military strategist, Legalism, and Zajia. You are also welcome to come to me to learn these knowledges.
.”
Shanrou's face turned red, and she turned around and left. Is it true that she is illiterate? This time she was completely defeated!
Huang Shaohong greeted from behind funny: "Shanrou, where are you going?"
Shanrou didn't even look back and shouted angrily: "Go home!!!"
That night, Ji Yanran and several of her maids were placed in a separate courtyard in the Dragon Palace. The courtyard had rockeries, lotus ponds, winding bridges and corridors. The scenery was excellent, no worse than her Yahu Villa in Daliang.
Ji Yanran held a scroll of bamboo slips in her hands and sat on a low couch leaning against the window railing, with the maid beside her carefully accompanying her.
The maid saw her young lady's eyes falling on the bamboo slips, but her eyes were not focused and she was in a daze. She was obviously worried about something, so she couldn't help but softly called out twice with concern: "Miss, miss!"
Ji Yanran came back to her senses and looked at the maid: "Is something wrong?"
She also treats her servants very well. These maids have been with her for many years and they feel like sisters. When she asks questions, a smile naturally appears on her lips.
The maid asked: "Miss, when will we go home?"
Ji Yan's smile faded away and she said calmly: "We who have subjugated our country, how can we have a home?"
The maid was suffocated, and then she realized that her young lady was a noble from the Yue Kingdom. Although the Yahu Villa was nice, they were living in the Wei Kingdom after all, and their real homeland had long been destroyed by the Chu Kingdom.
She was afraid of making her young lady sad, so she quickly changed the subject and asked: "Miss, what were you thinking about just now?"
Ji Yanran shook her head slightly, and following the words of the little maid, she once again recalled the conversation she had with Zou Yan alone after Huang Shaohong left the Liu Mansion yesterday.
After Huang Shaohong and Xiang Shaolong left, Liu Huasheng was thinking about joining the Sword God Palace, so he hurriedly sorted out the Confucian classics, leaving Ji Yanran and Zou Yan talking in the hall.
Ji Yanran then asked Zou Yan: "Mr. Zou, look at this Grand Master, is he the Ming Master you mentioned?"
Zou Yan smiled and asked: "Yanran, you are an extremely smart person. No man in the world dares to say that he is better than you in terms of intelligence. Look at this grand master's behavior. Don't you still have an answer?"
Ji Yanran snorted softly: "I think this Grand Master acts domineeringly, speaks absurdly, and acts recklessly. He is not like a wise master!"
Zou Yan shook his head and laughed: "What Yan Ran said was angry. I think the Grand Master behaves like a hegemon. Although his talents are astonishing, he can't even think about it. This idea is beyond the reach of others.
He may seem reckless and reckless in doing things, but his calm and unhurried attitude just shows that he has already figured it out!"
The corners of Ji Yanran's lips raised, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Is Mr. Zou so optimistic about him?"
Zou Yan nodded without denying: "In the past few days, I have been watching the sky at night and found that the stars representing the six countries are moving towards Handan, but the brightest new star in the sky above Handan is still.
The starlight is even brighter, which shows that the power of the Six Nations poses no threat to it at all!"
He said this and looked at Ji Yanran: "Yanran, do you think that bright new star is the Grand Master?"
Ji Yanran got up and walked outside the hall. At this time, a bright moon hung high above her head, and thousands of stars shone in the cloudless sky. She looked at it for a long time and wanted to turn around and ask Zou Yan: "Master, are you not?"
I must be dazzled, why didn’t I see what you said?”
But she still held back. She had just dabbled in the theory of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and she knew nothing about stargazing. It was normal to not see anything, so she made a decision.
She wanted to live in the "Sword God Palace" with Zou Yan to get up close and personal with the world-famous Sword God, to see if this Grand Master was the current Ming Master, and if she was looking for that person.
Someone you can trust for life.
Huang Shaohong had just finished a day of martial arts training. After practicing the Iron Clothes Shirt and Mozi Breathing Technique, he lay on the bed and selected 'Ontology Login' to enter the game world.
At this time, Huang Shaohong was in the game world, and the orcs and his true form were progressing side by side, logging in alternately every day to level up. The orcs were learning about gathering medicine and alchemy, and the human being was learning about mining and blacksmithing.
Some dangerous things, such as treasure hunting, killing elite monsters, etc., are all done by orcs, while he concentrates on leveling up and practicing skills.
He has upgraded his body level to level 39, and his strength and agility have been greatly enhanced. This attribute enhancement directly affects his body, allowing him to enjoy the benefits of this improved strength in reality.
It's just a pity that he can't choose a profession. Otherwise, if he chooses a paladin or a warrior, his strength will be improved even more.
If you choose the 'Death Knight', you may be able to obtain immortality. Of course, the greater possibility is that he will directly become an undead creature, so you'd better think about it.
First, go to the wild to fight monsters and complete mission upgrades, while mining and collecting raw materials. Once the packages are full, go back to the city and practice your forging skills in the dwarf area.
While playing the game, he leveled up quickly, but when he entered the game world, whether it was character level improvement or professional skills upgrade, everything was as slow as a turtle.
Fortunately, after Huang Shaohong cooperated with 'Claude Thunder Hammer', he could make a lot of money every day by pounding sword blanks here from the real world. He might as well spend some gold coins every day to buy ore for him to practice forging.
Skill.
Mining and forging have many benefits. The former can improve endurance attributes, and the latter can improve strength attributes. Although these two things are expensive to practice, as long as they are practiced to a certain level, they are an absolutely profitable craft.
Nowadays, his forging skills have achieved some success, and he can make some "green fine" level daggers and swords. Although he doesn't make much money from selling them, he can guarantee that he will get his money back without losing money.
If he returns to reality and learns the techniques of making patterned steel from the two old masters at the sword processing factory, I believe he can also make sword blanks himself, and by then the speed at which he can make money will increase a lot.
After Huang Shaohong finished leveling up in the game world and logged out, he sat cross-legged on the couch again, replaced sleep with meditation, and activated the "Mozi Breathing Technique" to feel silence in his heart, and at the same time he began to practice the art of visualization in his mind.
After a night of practice, although I was exhausted in the first half of the night, after the adjustment of the "Mozi Breathing Method" and the "Lotus Book" visualization method, the whole person, both mentally and physically, returned to the best condition.
Just after he woke up, before he could brush his teeth and rinse his mouth, Yuan Zong came to the door: "Juzi, go and see, Miss Ji and Shanrou are fighting!"
Huang Shaohong was startled. It would be bad if either of these two people were injured. He quickly followed Yuan Zong to the courtyard where Ji Yanran was.
I saw two long swords of Ji Cainv and Shan Rou fighting in the yard. The former has exquisite swordsmanship and is as agile as an ape with the sword, but is also free and elegant. The special steps under her feet are matched with the swordsmanship, and she is as airy as the Lingbo fairy.
.
The latter's sword was sharp and ruthless, and his every move was a life-threatening assassination move, just like a top assassin.
Both women have amazing swordsmanship, each with its own characteristics, but in general, Ji Yanran's swordsmanship is superior. Huang Shaohong knew at a glance that Shanrou had used all his strength, while Ji Yanran was able to do it with ease, obviously intending to give in.
Just as he was about to call them to stop, he heard rapid footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw Xiang Shaolong coming in a hurry with a worried look on his face. He walked up to him and whispered: "Brother, something big happened!"
Huang Shaohong's expression changed. Although Xiang Shaolong was cynical, he never joked about important matters. He said that if there was a big problem, it must be something he couldn't solve.
"Let's go out and talk!" He didn't bother to break up the fight, and directly pulled Xiang Shaolong towards the main hall.
After Huang Shaohong left, Shanrou immediately sheathed her sword and exited the battle circle. Ji Yanran stood with her sword in hand and said with a smile: "What, my sister is not going to fight?"
Shanrou snorted: "If you can't beat me, why should I fight you? Besides, when everyone is gone, who are you going to fight for?"
Huang Shaohong took Xiang Shaolong to a deserted place and then asked: "What happened to make you so panicked?"
Xiang Shaolong whispered: "Shaojun ran away. Han Jing, the wife of Zhao Hou, sent someone to send him away. I interrogated the person who sent Shaojun away. According to him, the purpose of Shaojun leaving Handan was to find Lian Po.
The general comes back to Qingjun's side!"
Shaojun is Xiaocheng's son. If Huang Shaohong hadn't caused this incident, he would have been the future mourning king Zhao Yan, and Han Jing would have been Xiaocheng's queen, but now she has gone by the nickname and is called Mrs. Zhaohou.
Huang Shaohong felt relieved after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face. He joked: "Is it such a big deal? With your expression just now, I thought your eggs had been robbed!"
Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he was saying, and asked in confusion: "Grab the eggs?"
Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Huang Shaohong immediately explained with a smile: "A peasant woman selling eggs encountered a gangster on the road. She resisted desperately and ended up with what happened. After the incident, the peasant woman stood up and cursed: 'What a big deal, I thought I was robbing eggs.
Oh, I’m scared to death!”
After hearing this, Xiang Shaolong held out his middle finger and said, "Brother, please stop joking. The young master escaped from Handan, but he wants to find Lian Po, and unite the generals from all over the Zhao Kingdom to come to Qingjun's side!"
