The desert of the Western Region is barren and desolate, but the three star realm elders of Hehuan Valley and the master of Hehuan Valley are not at all empty.
When Demon Slaughter grabbed their heads and forcibly opened their void space, Zhang Xiaopeng was shocked to see the treasures of various colors pouring out continuously, and finally piled up as high as a hill.
Tian Can smiled so hard that the corners of his mouth went behind his ears.
Under the black skull mask, Demon Slaughter also showed a satisfied smile on his cold face.
In the treasure house of Hehuan Valley, the gold and silver jewelry that the owners and elders of Hehuan Valley dislike and are unwilling to store in the void space are piled as high as a mountain.
Tian Can and Tu Mo did not touch the gold, silver and jewels in the treasure house. It was not because they disliked it, but because their empty space was full and they could only send people to transport it away later.
There are more than a dozen training caves in the Hehuan Valley built close to the underground spiritual veins. Zhang Xiaozu found the one with the strongest spiritual energy among them.
He did not rush to absorb the spiritual veins, but asked Ye Mingyue to bring Su Zhengyi and eighteen people over.
According to the deal, Tian Can sent him 7,330 star pills and 20 body refining elixirs.
Because Zhang Xiaozu was in urgent need of the body-refining elixir and did not hesitate to buy it at a large price, Tiancan did not save him any money. He bought various things at the auction venue of the handed down sect, and finally spent 170 star pills.
.
Although Zhang Xiaozhu felt distressed, he could still accept it.
After all, the total of twenty body refining elixirs is one thousand pieces. Calculating that one star pill can buy five or six elixirs, he thinks the price is reasonable.
But if he knew that Tian Can secretly collected twenty Star Pills as service fee, he might not be so calm.
After spending nearly a month in the wind and sun on the loess soil of the Western Regions, fighting around and fighting around, the eighteen Su Zhengs no longer had the delicate look of aristocratic young masters and young ladies, nor the immatureness of fifteen-year-old boys and girls.
Ragged and dirty clothes, messy hair like a bird's nest, skinny sunken eye sockets and dark circles, wrinkled skin, chapped lips, rough hands, broken straw sandals with exposed toes -
The eighteen people all revealed one word from head to toe - miserable!
If I have to add something, then add one word in front of the word "miserable" - so miserable!
state!
Zhang Xiaozu threw the alchemy furnace that he had shamelessly begged from Black Ape out of the Xumi mustard seeds.
He also begged for the body quenching method and obtained it, and had already experimented on Ye Mingyue, and there was no problem.
"ah--!"
Su Zheng's heart-rending screams soon rang out in the cave.
…
August twenty-fifth.
A carriage stopped in front of Guowei Mansion, and Wan Qingqiu helped the slightly dazed Zodiac Girl out of the carriage.
According to their planned itinerary, they should have arrived in the Imperial Capital five or six days ago, but the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes. Zodiac Girl suffered a brain attack on the way and completely forgot about coming to the Imperial Capital to find Zhang Xiaopou, and clamored for help.
go home.
Wan Qingqiu coaxed and lied, and talked hard to calm down the zodiac girl.
Perhaps because she was worried about her grandson, the duration of Huang Daonv's illness was much shorter than before. Although she was in a daze now, she understood the truth.
Wan Qingqiu stood stunned in front of the Guowei Mansion while supporting Huang Daonv. The broken door and the deserted courtyard seen from outside made Wan Qingqiu wonder if he had entered the wrong door.
Fortunately, the plaque on Guowei Mansion was still there, clearly telling her that she had not gone to the wrong place.
She knocked on the door frame for a long time, almost breaking it, before calling Niu Dawa out from the depths of the yard.
Niu Dawa was very surprised when she saw Wan Qingqiu's visit. Later, when she learned the identity of Zodiac Girl from Wan Qingqiu, she was even more surprised that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
When Su Hanlin learned that Huang Daonv had come to the imperial capital, he quickly came to greet her in person.
Wan Qingqiu handed over a secret letter written by Butcher Zhang to Su Hanlin.
Su Hanlin returned to the palace and opened the secret letter written by Butcher Zhang. After reading it, he couldn't help crying and crying.
Zhang Tufu told Su Hanlin the truth of the matter in his letter, and told Su Hanlin that although his cultivation had been abolished, the news had not been leaked, so as long as he was still in charge of Northern Xinjiang, Northern Xinjiang would be safe and sound, but he did not have much time.
, let Su Hanlin make preparations in advance.
Su Hanlin sat sullenly in the imperial study room all night. On the morning of the second day, he defied all opinions and issued an order to conquer the east and west in a tough and domineering manner.
He ordered Sikong Rui, the Grand Governor of the East China Sea, to take charge of the Green Dragon Army, and Shangguan Bi, the Grand Governor of the Western Regions, to take charge of the White Tiger Army. They immediately reorganized their troops and sent out troops to conquer Shenjian City and Canghai City respectively on September 15th.
He wanted to get rid of the two tigers in front of his bed first.
As soon as the news of the conquests spread, a tense atmosphere suddenly enveloped the imperial capital.
The war has begun.
The people all prayed to the sky, begging Su Hanlin to win this war and continue to be their emperor.
Because Su Hanlin made them see the beauty of life and full of hope for the future, they were afraid of losing it, so they hated everyone who opposed Su Hanlin.
Not even a saint can do it.
Especially the people who had suffered from hunger despised the saint. These two words were not as fragrant as two white-flour steamed buns in their hearts.
They think Su Hanlin is a saint because Su Hanlin allows them to eat white flour steamed buns.
August twenty-nine.
Zhang Xiaozu rode the thundering flame horse Xian Su Zheng back to the imperial capital with eighteen people at a time.
After entering the city, go straight to Guowei Mansion.
Huang Dao Nu, who was sitting under the shade of a tree in Yueyang Garden, seemed to sense Zhang Xiaopou's return home. She suddenly opened her eyes, stood up, laughed, "My grandson is back," and ran out.
Wan Qingqiu, who was waiting on the side, followed him with a grimace. She thought that Huang Daonv was ill again because she didn't hear anything.
Niu Dawa, Zhou Jianlai and Zhang Xiaobing heard Huang Daonv's cry and happily came out of the room and followed her.
The Shen family's father and son, who had been patiently hiding in the sky above the Guowei Mansion and waiting, suddenly became excited when they heard the call of the Zodiac Girl, but immediately they frowned and became confused, because they looked down and did not see Zhang Xiaozu's figure.
"My grandson is back!"
Huang Daonv kept mumbling happily and ran out of Guowei Mansion.
But there was no one in front of the door, and Zhang Xiaopou was nowhere to be seen when looking at the streets at both ends.
Wan Qingqiu smiled helplessly, stepped forward to pick up Huang Daonv's arm, and softly comforted her: "Master's wife, the soldier is not back yet, let's go back."
"No, I can feel that he is back." Huang Daonv shook her head and rejected Wan Qingqiu's request, and clearly told Wan Qingqiu: "Qing'er, my mind is clear."
She stood on the stone steps in front of the door, tiptoeing and looking towards the east end of the long street.
"Okay, then I will accompany you here and wait for the pawn to come back." Wan Qingqiu said with a smile.
After saying that, he winked at Niu Dawa and the other three people who followed him, indicating that they should go back to the courtyard and there was no need to accompany them here.
Niu Dawa nodded, and while turning around, he subconsciously followed the Zodiac Girl's gaze to the east, and saw a fiery red horse suddenly appearing at the end of the street, with a person lying on the horse's back. Who could it be if it wasn't Zhang Xiaopou?
.
He was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically laughed and said: "Haha, the pawn is really back!"
The thundering and flaming horse was as fast as lightning and ran from the end of the street to the front of Guowei Mansion in a few breaths.
Call!
Zhang Xiaopu gently pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse neighed loudly, raised its front hooves high, and stood upright. Then he shook his head gracefully and slammed down his hooves towards the gate of Guowei Mansion.
"Haha, isn't it cool?" Zhang Xiaozhu laughed heartily and showed off to Niu Dawa.
"Cool!" Niu Dawa smiled and raised his thumb.
"Father, that's him." In the folding space high in the sky, Shen Wanhua held a wanted notice for Zhang Xiaopou in his hand and compared it carefully with the Zhang Xiaopou below.
"Haha, okay!" Shen Wenyu laughed loudly, swooped down from the sky, and reached out to grab Zhang Xiaopeng.
He wanted to fight quickly and leave after catching Zhang Xiaopeng, because the Su Empire made him feel very dangerous.
When he learned that Su Hanlin was going to send troops to attack Shenjian City and Canghai City where saints were stationed, he suddenly understood why Su Hanlin was not afraid of the Zhongzhou Shen family, because Su Hanlin was simply a madman.
He doesn't like to play with madmen, because madmen are fearless, but they won't dare to kill him just because he is the second master of the Shen family.
"Sneaky, what is it?!"
Zhang Xiaopou suddenly opened his mouth and shouted angrily, pressed his left hand on the horse's back, his body rose into the sky, and grabbed it into the void with his right hand.
Then he twisted his back and smashed his right arm to the ground.
He grabbed a person's wrist, pulled him out of the void, and threw him to the ground.
Shen Wenyu was shocked. He had no idea that Zhang Xiaopou was so ferocious that he was caught off guard.
Fortunately, he had good cultivation and broke away from Zhang Xiaopou's iron-like fingers in time. He turned over and landed firmly on the ground without being thrown to the ground by Zhang Xiaopou.
"Are you just going to arrest my Shen family?" Zhang Xiaozou fell back on his horse and stared at Shen Wenyu and asked.
Without waiting for Shen Wenyu's answer, he added: "It seems that we have never met each other before. We should have no grievances. Why do you want to arrest me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me." Shen Wenyu didn't want to waste time, kicked off the ground and rushed towards Zhang Xiaopou.
Zhang Xiaozu felt a strong coercion rush over Shen Wenyu, and in an instant he was so suppressed that he could not move.
"snort!"
Zhang Xiaozu snorted coldly, and the six-color Hunyuan Power surged out of the sea of Qi, instantly breaking free from Shen Wenyu's pressure.
But just as he was about to take action, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and slashed at Shen Wenyu with his sword.
The sword energy criss-crossed, forcing Shen Wenyu to retreat.
Shen Wenyu stood still, his eyes fell on Zodiac Girl, and asked with a cold face: "Old woman, who are you?"
He asked this because he felt that Zodiac Girl was very powerful, otherwise he would have been too lazy to talk nonsense and would have killed Zodiac Girl with one punch.
Huang Daonv stood with her sword in hand, staring at Shen Wenyu, her eyes bursting with hatred.
Her son Zhang Guangyao was beaten by the Shen family. If he had not received timely treatment, he would have been turned into withered bones and buried deep in the loess.
How could she not hate the Shen family when she saw them?
