Chapter 137 Going to Yanyang City with the Taoist Priest
Facts have proved that He Yunxiao's food diplomacy is very effective.
This move not only directly increased the influence of the New Chu Army in the surrounding Qi Army, but also made many Qi Army soldiers who were not old members of the Chu Family Army come to pay homage and join the army.
The original size of the New Chu Army was about 10,000 people, and it rose accordingly.
With more and more old members of the Chu Family Army joining in, the number of the New Chu Army soared from more than 10,000 to more than 40,000 in just half a month.
This is also the result of the New Chu Army's policy of "better to have less than too much". If all the Qi Army soldiers who came to join in were accepted, the number of the New Chu Army at this time might be equal to the 70,000 people of the Yan Army's Eastern Army.
Ruobao showed no mercy to the newly joined Qi Army. The senior officers and soldiers who should be transferred were transferred, those who should be demoted were demoted, and those who should be promoted were promoted. The basic soldiers were all disbanded, dispersed and mixed, and retrained. Those who disobeyed the transfer order were gone. The food and salary of the New Chu Army only supported the soldiers, not the masters.
The expansion of the New Chu Army is certainly a happy event, but the rising military pay and weapons consumption really stumped He Yunxiao.
Robbing the Yandong Army alone can no longer meet the expenses of the New Chu Army. After all, the Yandong Army has only 70,000 people, and it is a bit difficult for them to rely on them to support more than 40,000 New Chu Army. Therefore, the New Chu Army has to rob the Yannan Army of more than 200,000 people part-time. What ambushes scouts, what tolls for the Yan Army's grain transport team. In short, don't miss any opportunity to pick up money.
This morning, He Yunxiao came out of Ruobao's house refreshed.
Yesterday during the day, Ruobao severely criticized He Yunxiao's view of "supporting the New Chu Army's robbery" in front of all the soldiers. In the evening, He Yunxiao did not go to Youbao, but went to Ruobao's house to find the place back.
Last night, Ruobao was working on military affairs by candlelight. When she saw He Yunxiao coming, she asked He Yunxiao knowingly, "Are you dissatisfied?"
He Yunxiao said, "No, no, I miss Ruobao."
Ruobao said again, "Today is a worry-free day."
He Yunxiao frowned on the spot. "What is a worry-free day? How can there be such a saying? I, He Yunxiao, will sleep in the lady's room today. Who dares to object?"
Ruobao rolled his eyes at He Yunxiao. Only the three of them knew the relationship between the three of them. Of course, what He Yunxiao said was what it was.
Ruobao knew that He Yunxiao was here to vent his anger, but she thought she was not wrong, so she naturally could not admit her mistake to He Yunxiao, so she left him aside.
He Yunxiao called "Ruobao" several times, but there was no response for a long time. Seeing that Fan Ziruo did not answer, he went straight to her, lifted her legs and carried her horizontally, and blew out the lights first!
Ruobao had a tough temper, but he was weak and delicate, so how could he deal with He Yunxiao. No matter how unconvinced and unwilling to admit defeat she was, her body was quite honest. A heroine who was well-known to He Yunxiao could not make any waves.
…
The cold wind that night was particularly strong and howling. It hit the window sill and made a "crackling" sound, which continued until dawn.
…
The "Zi Zai Zhen Yi" practiced by Qing Yuzi or Bai Yufei and the "Wu Xiang Wang Sheng Gong" practiced by Xiaoxiao are both top-notch exercises of Taixu Sect. The two exercises are practiced in different ways, but when they are practiced to Mahayana, they can have the ability to move mountains and seas.
"Wu Xiang Wang Sheng Gong" practices "cause and effect cycle", relying on continuous reincarnation to experience life and realize the true meaning, so as to "unify all dharmas and transform all dharmas".
"Zi Zai Zhen Yi" practices "the creation of heaven and earth", relying on "worry-free and free" practice to purify oneself, so as to "unify heaven and man, I am heaven and earth, heaven and earth are me".
The reason why Qing Yuzi couldn't beat Xiaoxiao was not because "Zizai Zhenyi" was not as good as "Wuxiang Wangsheng Gong", but because Qing Yuzi's own cultivation talent was different from Xiaoxiao's. Therefore, Qing Yuzi's "Zizai Zhenyi" only had Hinayana, but no Mahayana.
They were all top-level skills, and "Zizai Zhenyi" was also far superior to "Wuxiang Wangsheng Gong". For example, Qing Yuzi's move skills were superb and unpredictable, and even Xiaoxiao couldn't catch him, which was borrowing the power of heaven and earth.
For example, after Qing Yuzi was injured, he could also borrow the vitality of heaven and earth to speed up his healing speed.
However, this healing skill also has a bad point, that is, it will increase Qing Yuzi's perception of the surrounding environment.
Unfortunately, Qing Yuzi's room is not far from Ruobao and Youbao's room.
So her skill is basically useless every night.
It can't be said to be useless. In short, every late night, Miss Bai will be disturbed and have no intention of healing. She often has to rest and sleep, but the majority of the times she can't sleep in bed are occupied.
…
He Yunxiao came out of the Weak Treasure House refreshed.
With the Soul Devouring Pill, even if he revels every night, he will not have backaches at all. For He Yunxiao, who has a big family and a lot of wealth, it is simply a priceless treasure.
“Master?” He Yunxiao was surprised to see Qing Yuzi waiting for him.
Qing Yuzi’s veil cleverly covered her haggardness and dark circles under her eyes. She said in a frivolous tone: “I am going to Yanyang City. Will you go with me?”
“Oh, sure.” He Yunxiao agreed.
Qing Yuzi is a rare great master in the world. He Yunxiao doesn’t think he knows Qing Yuzi very well, at least not to the point of “going shopping hand in hand”. So Qing Yuzi came to him to “go to Yanyang City together”, probably because she had something to say.
The two rode on the road to Yanyang City.
Qing Yuzi hinted: "Young He, you are young and strong, you should focus more on martial arts." He Yunxiao was ready to use the excuse he made to his brother-in-law to fool Taoist Bai. He said shamelessly: "You are right, Taoist, I practice sword every night."
Qing Yuzi:......
Don’t you know what you are doing every night?
Although Qing Yuzi knew it well, there were some words that it was really difficult for a woman to say, not to mention that He Yunxiao was the same generation as Chu Fan, and she was still He Yunxiao's "elder", so it was even harder to say.
She could only continue to hint.
"Although the Soul-Eating Pill can enhance the body's recovery power, it cannot last long."
"Yes." He Yunxiao said firmly, this was his experience countless times.
Qing Yuzi:......
"The Soul-Eating Pill is neither good nor evil, you still need to use it with caution."
He Yunxiao thought about it and realized that he was indeed cautious. He closed the doors and windows tightly every time and put up an internal barrier, so there was no chance of being noticed by others. So he said with relief: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your teaching. I understand the principle that too much is too little, so I am quite cautious when using it."
"What about you..." Qing Yuzi hesitated, almost blurting out the truth.
He Yunxiao: "Taoist?"
"fine."
"The Taoist Master seems to be obsessed with Soul-Eating Pills?" He Yunxiao asked curiously when he saw Qing Yuzi always talking about "Soul-Eating Pills".
Qing Yuzi's charming face hidden behind the veil showed a trace of sadness.
"This elixir gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is a treasure. The reason why ordinary people lose their life after eating it is because their bodies are fragile and cannot withstand the power of the soul-eating pill. In this Taoist practice of "The True Meaning of Self", you can use the power of heaven and earth to reconcile this elixir , to stimulate the maximum potential... Although you don't know the techniques of this Tao, you have other ways to weaken the power of this pill to achieve balance... It's just that this Tao has no chance with the Soul-Eating Pill."
