"General, I'm going to the Tieling Military Training Base to ask for some people. I need your order." Zhao Yuan smiled slightly. He naturally hoped that the more soldiers and horses the better, but he knew very well that the more soldiers and horses he needed, the more cunning he would be.
General Changkong became more and more worried about him. A mere 20,000 elites were not worth mentioning to the huge Qin Empire. This prevented General Changkong from racking his brains to place his subordinates to contain him.
If Zhao Yuan wanted millions of troops, he would not be able to follow his orders and follow them, which would be unsightly.
"No problem, except for the four gods, you can choose any 20,000 people." General Changkong agreed readily.
"Thank you, General!" A smile appeared on Zhao Yuan's lips.
"The two princesses miss you very much. They have repeatedly asked you to visit them after we finish talking."
"Ahem...Okay." Sensing the ambiguity in General Chang Kong's eyes, Zhao Yuan's face turned red and he coughed twice.
"Go ahead, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
…
"Zhao Yuan, what crime do you deserve!" As soon as Zhao Yuan walked into the boudoir, the cold-faced Princess Wan'er scolded her.
"The villain knows his crime and should be punished." Zhao Yuan, who had just entered the door, quickly bent down with a humble look on his face.
"Pfft... ok, ok, let me spare you for now." Wan'er smiled brightly, like flowers blooming in a garden, and the whole room became brighter because of her beautiful smile.
"I know the princess is reluctant to kill me." Looking at that charming smile, Zhao Yuan's heart froze.
"loquacious!"
Wan'er rolled her eyes at Zhao Yuan, then her eyes fell on Princess Qiqi, as if waiting for Princess Qiqi to speak. From the moment Zhao Yuan walked in, Princess Qiqi looked at Zhao Yuan quietly, looking thoughtful.
color.
Finally, the silent Princess Qiqi spoke.
"Are you going overseas?" Princess Qiqi asked slowly.
"The princess is really smart."
"Looking for the legendary red heart sacred tree for Fairy Caixia?" Princess Qiqi looked indifferent, but in her deep eyes, there was an indescribable look fleetingly...
"Yes." Zhao Yuan admitted frankly.
"Why not stay in the palace and serve?"
"If Princess Qiqi needs the Red Heart Sacred Tree to restore her beauty, I, Zhao Yuan, will do my best even if I have to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire!" Zhao Yuan said every word.
"Then why did you still remember us after eating the Forgettable Grass?" Princess Qiqi's words suddenly became aggressive.
"...Well...it may be that I miss Princess Qiqi too deeply, and the Love-forgetting Grass has lost its effect."
"Why do you lie so sincerely?" Princess Qiqi's bright eyes turned resentful.
"Ahem..."
"Although I know you are being glib, I still like to listen." Princess Qiqi slowly stood up, walked to Zhao Yuan, and gently snuggled into Zhao Yuan's arms, with a pair of white catkins, as soft as the skin.
"Zhao Yuan, after tonight, our fate is over." Princess Qiqi's eyes were full of sadness.
"Why?" Zhao Yuan was shocked.
"We are princesses. The late emperor asked us to assist the new emperor... There are many taboos in the palace. We... I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to meet each other in the future..."
Looking at Princess Qiqi's sad face, Zhao Yuan felt a little sad for no reason.
That night, the cold and noble Princess Qiqi served Zhao Yuan all night long, showing great enthusiasm. Princess Wan'er seemed to want to stay, and Zhao Yuan shamelessly invited her again and again, but Princess Wan'er was still reluctant to leave.
After leaving, Zhao Yuan's long-dreamed plan of one dragon playing with two phoenixes was shattered...
It wasn't until dawn that Zhao Yuan went to see General Changkong. Without any ceremony, he was named General Zhenhai by the little emperor, which made Zhao Yuan feel a bit childish.
Of course, Zhao Yuan himself knew very well that General Zhenhai was just for his convenience in conquering the overseas islands. Apart from commanding the 20,000 troops, he had no other actual power in the Qin Empire.
Zhao Yuan performed his duties at the Ministry of War, received the armor commander's seal and other relevant official documents, and immediately contacted a group of old subordinates from Blackwater City such as Yang Cheng, Lu Feng, Mad Taoist Priest, etc. After explaining, he went to Xihuang Mountain. But he still remembered,
Mingli Mingyue and Wan Ling'er are waiting for her in the mountains.
When he saw the three people quietly in the cave, Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of now was that the three people were causing trouble everywhere.
After Zhao Yuan entered the cave, the three of them ignored Zhao Yuan because they were all very busy.
In the huge cave, dozens of pill furnaces were lined up, the fire was blazing, and the entire cave was filled with the choking smell of pills.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Yuan asked curiously, seeing the three of them concentrating.
"Refining the elixir." Mingyue was the soft-hearted one. Seeing that everyone ignored Zhao Yuan, she answered.
"Alchemy? It seems that Ling'er said last time that consuming too many elixirs is counterproductive and is not beneficial to the human body?" Zhao Yuan asked doubtfully.
"I told you, but I have a recipe for an elixir on hand. As long as it is successfully refined and eaten, it will immediately transform into an immortal!" Wan Ling'er said proudly.
"If you transform into an immortal right away, the disaster will be over!" Thinking of the terrifying disaster last time, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"...This...let's wait until we become immortals." Wan Ling'er's expression froze.
"Ling'er, it's better to practice down-to-earth. Those elixirs and the like are mainly used for healing and auxiliary effects. If you rely entirely on taking elixirs to improve your cultivation, it will be unintentional. If you can control it well, it doesn't matter. If you can't control it well,
Being struck by five thunders is no joke. Think about it, with your current strength, if you suddenly become immortals, the disaster will probably fall immediately. Faced with the sudden disaster, who can stop it?
I'm afraid that both body and soul will be destroyed immediately."
"But...but..." Wan Ling'er looked unconvinced, but didn't know how to refute.
"Ling'er, it's not impossible to refine the elixir, but you can't reach the sky in one step if you proceed step by step. At most, it can only be used at critical moments. For example, when you reach the fifth level of the advanced level, you can eat an elixir and become an immortal immediately. At this time
, your strength instinct is extraordinary, and you will not panic when facing the upcoming catastrophe. If you reach the realm of immortals from an intermediate cultivator in one step, the consequences will be disastrous, because without the experience of overcoming tribulations, facing
I have never experienced a catastrophe before, and the only thing I can do is to be beaten. It is estimated that a round of thunder and lightning will come down, and the immortal's addiction will be chopped to ashes before he can get over it."
"Hey... it makes some sense... But we can practice it first, and when we reach the fifth level of the advanced level, we can take the elixir and become an immortal immediately, hehe..." Wan Ling'er chuckled smugly.
"Uh-huh……"
Ming Ri Mingyue and Ming Ri Mingyue nodded in agreement, and then the three of them continued their business.
"I became a general, General Zhenhai." Zhao Yuan had imagined how many times the three women would celebrate him.
"Have you ever seen the sea?" What made Zhao Yuan vomit blood was that he didn't even raise his head tomorrow and asked in a casual tone.
"Ahem...no..." Zhao Yuan was filled with panic.
"Then you suppress Mao's sea?"
"...I am going to the Tieling Military Training Base in Blackwater City. It will probably take about a week before I can return to the Imperial Capital. Are you going?"
