He Qizhou knew that the bile wrapped in dough would not take effect so quickly, but there were advantages to being slow, so when the cold poison attacks, it will not be too severe.
Fortunately, the cave is very shady. The light snow on the ground has slowly begun to cool down, and the heartbeat has also slowed down. When the bile medicine takes effect, you should wake up again.
His own heat poison came on much faster than expected. When he was picking up the skin of the giant snake that had been hollowed out by the birds, the scorching sun on his head was like a signal for the heat poison to break out in his body, making an appointment to treat the poisoned person.
Attack from both inside and outside.
He Qizhou realized that the poison he had been poisoned was actually not light, but he could still use his internal strength to resist it, and would not faint at all. When he saw the signs of poison, he took out the premade "noodle cake snake gallbladder pills" and swallowed them before returning.
Breath control and rest in the cave.
Since the amount of bile sweat contained in a noodle pill is very small, when the medicine takes effect, it is not like falling into the ice cave like yesterday. But the medicine in Muxue is obviously not powerful enough. After more than half an hour, the medicine has just cooled down.
His hand began to feel hot again, so He Qizhou had to pry open its small opening and feed him a second noodle pill. This was repeated until the cold poison in the third noodle pill took effect, and Muxue, who had been sleeping for more than two hours, finally
Gradually wake up.
Although she had no appetite, after waking up, Mu Xue still ate some "He's batter" under He Qizhou's coercion and inducement, because He Qizhou knew that under this alternation of cold and heat, the body consumes a lot, and if he doesn't replenish some food, everyone will
It's impossible to hold on.
Because I was worried about Xiaoxue, in addition to meditating and adjusting her breathing to bring in her true energy, I only did two things in the past two hours or so. I washed the snake skin, and then hung it in the cave on the right to dry in the shade. The back of the snake skin was extremely tough.
, those vultures barely caused any damage to it; they cleaned the stone walls and floor of the cave. The cave was a mess last night. He Qizhou, who had recovered his sense of smell, felt that he would not be able to stay in the cave for a moment if he didn't clean it... He originally went to the forest to look for it.
Planning for food and medicine can only be left until tomorrow.
Before sunset, He Qizhou's fever broke out again, and he demonstrated the feat of licking the gallbladder of a snake in front of Xiaoxue with dignity. Although he tried his best to pretend to be relaxed, he ended up crying uncontrollably, making Xiaoxue burst into laughter.
Trembling, it can be regarded as a relief from the hatred of "fighting suffering with suffering" last night.
As night fell, the temperature dropped. As expected, the two of them had symptoms of cold poison again. Xiaoxue was still much heavier than He Qizhou. He almost vomited all the food he had just eaten, and He Qizhou was forced to eat it again after being rubbed hard.
Order something. Later, the two of them went to the hot lake to cool down again. Xiaoxue seemed to be in better spirits than yesterday. She could slowly walk down the cave by herself, soaking in the pool and chatting all over the world, which became the most enjoyable part of the day for the two of them.
time.
He Qizhou asked Xu Mu what the purpose of the young prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was to send an envoy to the Western Regions. Is it because the Northern Zhou Dynasty was currently fighting enemies on both the north and south fronts and was hit by natural disasters, so it had to form an alliance with the countries in the Western Regions?
Xiaoxue was born in a noble family and had royal ancestry. After traveling around the world with Li Jichen, her knowledge was much greater than that of He Qizhou, who had lived in the countryside for a long time. She was familiar with the customs, customs and officialdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so she began to rely on her old skills to talk:
"The small countries close to here in the Western Region have all been almost destroyed by the Qi and Zhou Dynasties. The remaining countries are either far away, sparsely populated, and have few products. There is no use in forming an alliance with them. They may offend those further away.
The purpose of sending a state religious protector and a prince valued by the emperor to travel to the Persian country must not be that simple! Those five hundred Yulin guards are almost equal to the military strength of a country on the road to the Western Regions. I think the purpose of the Zhou Dynasty
Nothing more than two."
He Qizhou asked cooperatively: "Which two?"
"Maybe there is only one ultimate goal, and that is to cut off the trade routes between Daqi, Persia, and Rome, leaving Daqi with no troops to use! One way is to persuade or conquer the small countries on the Silk Road, but there are two routes from the north to the south that lead to our country.
Qi, thousands of miles away from each other, they can't have much effect with their troops; the other is more ruthless, bypassing the small country on the Silk Road, and having an affair with Tuyuhun. If the two of them join forces, I, Da Qi, will really do it.
It’s hard to sleep and eat well.”
"I heard that King Tuyuhun hated the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the core. This was said by Li Ruogu himself. If they go over with just a few people, aren't they looking for death?" Zhou Qizhou asked.
Xu Mu said: "I'm just saying it's possible, but think about it, what if Tu Yuhun's powerful officials secretly colluded with the Northern Zhou Dynasty? You must know that they also believe in Tibetan Buddhism. We should discuss this matter as soon as possible when we return.
Let the court tell you."
"You want a weak woman to worry about you? Zhang Mufeng and the others will definitely say that. I don't know how they are doing, they are all so seriously injured!" He Qizhou was a little worried about Lin Chuan, Yang Shan and others.
"You are a weak woman! Let's see how I deal with you after I get better!" Xu Mu poked He Qizhou's forehead in the pool opposite, and said: "The stone beam of the leaning door was broken by us. I want Helian Changji
I have important matters at hand, so it is unlikely that I will risk chasing them again."
"Speaking of that little prince, let me tell you something very strange." He Qizhou said in confusion.
"What's up?"
"I exchanged palms with him. Judging from the appearance of that guy, he is about the same age as me, but his internal energy is still higher than mine, and he has already opened the six meridians! Forget it, the strangest thing is that I can feel him
His technique is actually at least nine points similar to my Huazhen Kung Fu, and the palm power also contains the heat poison of the Flame Gong. Could it be that the Flame Poison Kung Fu also originated from Huashan, Quanzhen? If not, why can he possess both kinds of techniques?
Dharma? I heard from my master that this Huazhen Kung Fu was only taught to me. Is it possible that there are people in the Northern Zhou Dynasty who know this technique?"
"Each generation of descendants of the Helian Royal Family and the Jiang Royal Family will produce some martial arts wizards. It is not uncommon to be able to master both martial arts. As long as you have enough understanding and a strong physique, that's why those excellent martial arts secrets
It will cause disputes in the world, because real masters, even if they don't learn from scratch, can make great improvements just by understanding the essence.
My master was inspired by He Qingshan, and the Guangling Seven Swords he created is no weaker than the ultimate swordsmanship. This is what Yang Zheng and He Qingshan later personally told many masters.
I guess since Helian Changji has poison in his skills, he must have been practicing the Flame Poison Skill since he was a child, and later he had the opportunity to learn more advanced skills like your Hua Zhen Skill. He is a prince and must have been taught by a famous teacher, but
At such a young age, he can already combine two sets of exercises, so this person should not be underestimated."
He Qizhou said: "Well, we will have a chance to destroy him in the future. By the way, Helianshun lied to us at first and said that there were only two masters, both from Qinglong Temple. Do you know what Qinglong Temple is? Why did he come out so casually?
Is the martial arts of two people so high?" Xiaoxue said: "Where is the casualness? Let me tell you, after the stone beam collapsed, the five people who caught up were not simple. This is why I suspected that they wanted to go.
Tu Yuhun, because if you just want to visit a small country in the Western Region, any one of the five people is enough.
Not to mention Chiyan and Helian Changji, although Qianhu who led the army was only a fourth-rank official, he was in charge of two of the most elite cavalry battalions in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was one of the most trusted people by the emperor. To put it harshly, even
You can ignore orders issued by Helian Changji that have nothing to do with the purpose of this trip!
Finally, there are the two masters of Qinglong Temple. They can ride side by side with that Qianhu, at least at the level of deputy hall master or captain. If the Yulin Guards are the solid backing of Emperor Zhou, then Qinglong Temple is in his hands.
The whips and swords are equivalent to our Daqi’s Jin Yiwei plus Wuchasi plus armaments hall!"
"So powerful? A deputy hall master can be called brother to Yulin Wei Qianhu? Wasn't he beaten full of holes by the two of us?" He Qizhou said.
"Forget it! To be honest, the person I fought with in Daqi can definitely compete with the people in Chengzong's first level or even the middle level. I can't even catch a single move in a head-to-head confrontation; you are no better than me.
go!"
"You're up against the Eight Meridians, so of course you're good! Tell me, what are the halls and captains of Qinglong Temple?"
"The territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was wider than that of Daqi, and the population was a mixture of Hu and Han. More than half were herdsmen and a small half were farmers. The farmers were fine, but the wandering herdsmen were extremely difficult to discipline. Even though the Han system had been in place for a hundred or two hundred years, it was still not good.
They were too accustomed to living in counties and counties, and often had disputes over cross-border grazing. The wild nature in their hearts often broke out, and people made trouble and even rebelled almost every year. Therefore, after the Helian family unified the north, they set up a special Qinglong Temple.
Come and monitor the people and officials..."
"If there is no more grass to eat, why don't we let people cross the border?" He Qizhou was a little puzzled.
"The emperor had to collect taxes if he wanted to maintain the country. If the herdsmen were nowhere to be found, who would he ask for money from? Where would he go to recruit troops? Of course, he was allowed to cross, and the officials in various places in the Northern Zhou Dynasty would uniformly arrange pastures in winter and summer.
, levy taxes and fees according to the population, livestock, pasture size, etc., arrange military service, etc. The Tutang of Qinglong Temple is the strongest of the five halls. Altars will be set up in every county to supervise tribes and officials.
.Many Zhou people are willing to follow Helian Chenwu to the bitter cold places further north, probably because they want to regain that freedom."
"What else is there?" He Qizhou asked.
"The five halls are named after the five elements respectively. The main guard of the Golden Hall is like our imperial guard, guarding the gate and courtyard for the royal family;
The wooden hall is mainly used to select talents. In the past, there were martial arts schools in the five capitals like the four schools in the capital. However, after the Zhou Dynasty was divided into two, the main talents were concentrated in the central capital. They held martial arts competitions every two years.
Select young talents to work for the emperor. Most of those young people come from the Tianlong Sect, big tribes, big business houses, and various gangs from various places. The enemies we may face in the future are the students from these wooden halls;
Shuitang is responsible for external intelligence. Da Qi Military Inspection Department has people dedicated to dealing with Shuitang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, when half of the lost land in Hebei, including Yanjing City, was recovered, Shuitang planted countless spies there. I also suspected Wang Dingbian
He was a spy from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but unfortunately he has no proof now... I'm thirsty!"
