Chapter 203 Lifting Weights Like Lightness, Gu Pan Zixiong (two chapters in one)

In the Boundless Pavilion——

Su Zhao was sitting upright, his eyes were deep, he was rubbing the white jade in his palm, his heart was already in a turbulent state, but his face was still calm, because at this moment, the Dragon Rising Cauldron in the spiritual platform was shining brightly and trembling continuously.

"The fruit is a thing of heaven, and it is a pass token of the Xuanwu Star Gate in the north, which is owned by low-level immortal officials."

Su Zhao inspected the torrent of information in his mind, and all sorts of calculations flashed through his mind.

Judging from some clips from Shenglong Ding, it seems that the ancient heavenly court was destroyed in a big battle and became a ruin and a desperate place.

Su Zhao put Bai Yuzhigui away, turned to look at Xu Qiuming, smiled warmly and said, "Friend Xu, go out for a drink or two?"

Xu Qiuming nodded with a smile, and then said sorry to Qin Bingxiao who was beside him, and then wanted to get up, intending to leave Wuya Pavilion.

However, at this moment, little loli Jian Jia blinked her ignorant big eyes and said, "Where are you going, Senior Brother Xu, I will go too."

Qin Bingxiao frowned Xiuli's eyebrows, and said softly: "Jian Jia, they are going to drink, what are you going to do with them?"

Jian Jianuo said: "I'm just going to have a look, it's still early, why don't you go back to sleep."

Little Lolita hugged Qin Bingxiao's straight arm and said coquettishly.

Xu Qiuming smiled casually, looked at Su Zhao who was at the side, and said, "Zhao Daoyou, why not?"

"Then let's go together." Su Zhao said indifferently.

They walked not far from De Wu Ya Pavilion, came to a restaurant, stepped into the window on the second floor, and sat down, looking at the bustling crowd below.

In turn, a waiter served steaming hot tea, and the tea leaves were fragrant and refreshing.

Xu Qiuming said loudly: "I haven't asked Brother Zhao why he is optimistic about this Marquis Su?"

This is also what surprised Xu Qiuming. It would be a joke to say that this Zhao Su, who has no eyes for Su Guo, bet some spiritual treasures on Su Guo to win this national war.

Who would bet all the treasury of half a small sect on Su Guo, since he acted like this, he must have 12 points of confidence.

Su Zhaoqing coughed, his face was still flushed and his heart was not beating, and he said sonorously: "I see that since Marquis Su came to the throne, he has been scheming and making great efforts. Went to the embankment of the Honghe River and supervised the construction of the embankment. During this catastrophe, not a single embankment in Su State was breached, and no family was flooded. The sages once said that those who have attained the Dao will be helped more than those who have lost the Dao. , Marquis Su loves the people like his own son...how could he be the king who subjugated the country?"

Xu Qiuming nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao's words are very kind, and I have seen all the actions of Marquis Su since he came to the throne. They are not like the incompetent king who lost his country and the throne. If the country is weak and has few soldiers, it is extremely reckless to say that it will be defeated."

Jian Jia curled her lips and said with a soft snort, "Then you... are heroes who see the same thing."

Lu Shouzhen said: "What Xu Daoyou said is not completely unreasonable."

This Daoist Shen Xiao had just hedged the risk, and his mind was somewhat shaken.

Xu Qiuming pondered for a moment, and said: "It's just that what Brother Zhao did was too risky. There are so many magic weapons and pills, which are almost no less than the small sect's treasury."

No matter how optimistic you are about the Su country, you shouldn't bet on such a valuable net worth after all. At least learn from Lu Shouzhen and bet on both sides, which can at least reduce some risks.

Su Zhao said in a clear voice: "Since you are optimistic, how can you look forward to the future and think about the future? When you see big things, you cherish your life, and when you see small gains, you forget your life. This is not what Taoists of my generation do!"

Xu Qiuming was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and praised: "Zhao Daoyou's words won my heart."

On the other hand, Lu Shouzhen frowned secretly, always feeling that there was something in this guy's words, as if he was mocking him, so he snorted coldly and lowered his head to sip his tea.

It's not that this person has changed his bitter and mean temper, but that no matter how he gets angry, it will be difficult to do anything here, so it's better to suppress his anger for now.

The main reason is that the two are not enemies. Although this Daozi Shenxiao has a bit of a poisonous mouth, he will not become enemies for no reason.

Qin Bingxiao, however, listened to the conversation between the two, without saying a word from beginning to end, but looked at Su Zhao from time to time with a pair of bright eyes.

A hint of suspicion gradually emerged in his heart, and he used his spiritual thoughts to activate the yin and yang separation mirror to perceive Su Zhao's reality.

This Taizhen Sect walks in the world with a keen mind, and has already noticed that the young sword fairy named Zhao Su has an extraordinary background. As for Zhao Su, it must be a pseudonym.

Of course, Xu Qiuming knew this too.

Xu Qiuming and Su Zhao narrated another paragraph, prefaced the chronology, and felt that the conversation became more speculative. Xu Qiuming changed the subject and asked, "Brother Zhao seems to be good at swordsmanship?"

Su Zhao nodded, and said with a smile: "You can't enter the Fang family's eyes, the way of the sword has not yet condensed the sword intent."

Su Zhao had practiced kendo like Xuanshui in his "previous life", but he was only at the peak of Yuangang, and he didn't even condense the golden core. Naturally, he looked at something like sword intent, which involves dao intent, as if it were a natural barrier.

Xu Qiuming smiled and said: "Brother Zhao is too modest. If Brother Zhao wants to practice sword intent, he can travel to the land of Qilu, especially Mount Tai, where there are many sword masters, and sword intent turns into clouds. Senior Ken Dao has left traces of sword intent on the rocks, with brother Zhao's aptitude, such as observing the sword intent of mountains and rocks, given time, he will definitely gain something!"

When Su Zhao heard this, his heart moved. It was the first time he had heard of such a place, and he couldn't help showing a look of leisurely fascination on his face, and said in a clear voice: "If there is a chance, Zhao will definitely go and see it."

"What about Fellow Daoist Xu, Qing Weizong is not in Yue State, how did Fellow Daoist Xu get here?" Su Zhao also asked.

Xu Qiuming laughed at himself and said: "Although Xu has survived the three disasters early, he has no clue about the realm of the gods. He originally followed his family teacher to Shenxiao as a guest. Later, he met Fairy Qin and decided to travel around Kyushu together."

"So that's how it is." Su Zhao said with emotion, and cast a pair of stern eyes on Qin Bingxiao at the right time.

"You man, what are you looking at? Elder sister Qin is the master of Shenzhao. It would be good if you didn't let you be called senior." Jian Jia pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction, and said dissatisfied.

Su Zhao lowered his eyes slightly, caught a glimpse of Lolita's pink face, resisted the urge to squeeze, and asked, "Is Fairy Qin a disciple of the Taizhen Sect?"

Qin Bingxiao looked at Su Zhao up and down with cold eyes, and was silent for a moment, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, he said: "Taizhen taught Qin Bingxiao met Zhao Daoyou, isn't Zhao Daoyou's surname Zhao?"

But just now, when Qin Bingxiao was sitting quietly, he repeatedly pondered Su Zhao's identity, Zhao Su, Zhao Su...

Combined with the reaction of the yin and yang clutch mirror, a shocking and inexplicable guess was brewed in Qin Bingxiao's heart, and finally it was almost certain.

Su Zhao was stunned for a moment, smiled lightly, and said, "Isn't it normal to use an alias to hide your identity when going out?"

Xu Qiuming looked at Su Zhao and Qin Bingxiao in surprise, and said, "What charades are you two playing?"

Qin Bingxiao took a deep look at Su Zhao, parted his lips lightly, and said, "It's nothing."

However, there was a sense of irony in his heart. If he still had some doubts just now, then he was 100% sure when he heard Su Zhao's words——Zhao Su is the Lord of Su!

It's just that the battle is imminent, and the prince of Su is not sitting in Shijingguan, but even dressed as a white dragon fish, and came to this cave...

This woman's mind was originally exquisite and clear, coupled with the subtle and imperceptible reactions of Yin and Yang, there were all kinds of speculations.

If Qin Bingxiao still can't be sure, then this Taizhen is too stupid to teach people how to walk in the world.

Su Zhao looked at Qin Bingxiao calmly, how could he be overwhelmed by this keen-minded Qin Bingxiao, and thought to himself, "It's because the name was chosen too casually. .”

Now that Qin Bingxiao has confirmed Su Zhao's true identity, thinking back on his various performances just now, he can't help but feel a little funny because he has always been cold-hearted.

"It's really shy to call yourself a Mingjun hero..."

Thinking of Su Zhao's self-confident and self-boasting appearance just now, Qin Bingxiao didn't feel that he looked like a gentleman, on the contrary, the previous bad feeling because of Jian Jia's incident dispelled a lot, and when he looked at Su Zhao again, he felt a kind of appreciation in his heart meaning.

"Lift the weight as if it were light, look forward to being strong, maybe this country of Su really has the hope of defeating the strong with the weak." Qin Bingxiao thought about it.

On this side, several people chatted for a while, and then said goodbye to each other.

Watching Su Zhao leave with Xie Cang and Liu Cheng, Qin Bingxiao shook slightly.

Jian Jia asked curiously, "Sister Qin, can you see where this person came from?"

As soon as these words came out, even Xu Qiuming and Lu Shouzhen cast their searching eyes on Qin Bingxiao.

Xu Qiuming also asked: "Junior Sister Qin has always had a bright eye, if you can see the identity of this fellow Daoist Zhao, why not..."

Qin Bingxiao said: "The identity of this person is actually not difficult to guess. Gu Pan is a hero, and he lifts weights lightly. This kind of person must have been in a high position for a long time, nothing more than a celestial being, and a prince in the world."

Before Xu Qiuming had a thoughtful look on his face, Qin Bingxiao uttered two words softly, "He is Su Hou."

Xu Qiuming and Lu Shouzhen: "..."

Jian Jia: "???"

When Su Zhao left the restaurant, it was nightfall and the lights were on.

Day and night are also divided into the Hanxu Cave Sky, and through some kind of magic circle, the bright moon and the distant galaxy are projected into the Jietian Sky.

Liu Cheng's expression was complicated, he hesitated to speak, "Brother Zhao..."

Su Zhao said with a smile: "Brother Liu, if you have something to say, you may as well speak up."

Liu Cheng paused for a moment, seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother Zhao, can you tell Yu Pindao your real identity...Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it."

Su Zhao heard the words, pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, there is nothing to hide. I, Su Zhao, is the prince of the Su Kingdom who is currently fighting in the Zhengsu Kingdom. He just acted under an alias. It was just to save trouble, and it was not intentionally concealed." .”

Hearing this, Liu Cheng's expression was unbelievable, and he said, "Marquis Su? But why..."

I just feel that the world view seems to be washed away. Isn't the owner hindered by the fate of humanity, so he can't practice the law of longevity?

Why is this king of Su...

Su Zhao saw Liu Cheng's doubts, and said: "It can't be explained clearly in a few words. If you have time, talk to Brother Liu in detail. If you don't give up, Brother Liu can go to Guancheng to talk about it."

Liu Cheng's complexion changed, he was clearly hesitant, but after a while, he made up his mind and said, "It's better to be respectful than to follow orders."

Shijing Pass, the next day

The sky was bright, and a golden morning light in the east had just cast on the vast land. The drums were beating, and Zheng Jun launched another wave of strong attacks. Want more.

Zheng Jun, who was like a khaki tide, continued to climb towards Shijing Pass in waves. Looking down from above, Zheng Jun is densely packed.

This time, it was more like a violent attack by Zheng Guo after he felt humiliated by Su Guo after being frustrated in the attack the day before yesterday.

Under the banner of the Chinese Army, Zheng Guoda Sima Pangguan looked sternly, looked at the majestic pass in front of him, turned his head and asked the lieutenant at the side, "Is the military order sent to the counties?"

The lieutenant general cupped his hands and said: "The counties that have been written, such as Wuyang, Ningping and Pingping counties, have mobilized the civilian husbands and Ding Zhuang who were hit by the flood to come to Yingyin in a big way. The first batch of Ding Zhuang is estimated to be within two or three days. "

"Do the victims have any complaints about the collection of corvee?" Pang Guan asked in a calm voice.

The deputy general showed a look of embarrassment, as if there was something difficult to say, he hesitated and said: "The situation in Wuyang and other counties is not good. The big families in the county are hoarding rice grains and driving up prices. The prices are more than five times higher than usual. The money allocated, the money and food purchased are far from enough to relieve the victims, and starvation is everywhere... Therefore, when they heard that the front line gave food, the people all rushed to be the first..."

Pang Guan's face was gloomy, but he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, he pondered for a moment, and said: "How can I remember that Wuyang has a corn warehouse called Chengcang, and there are millions of stones in stockpiles of grain and rice, why did the situation go so far? "

The deputy general said in a deep voice: "Pang Sima, remember? A month ago, just in summer, the weather was scorching hot, a raging fire broke out in Chengcang, and millions of stones of grain and rice were turned into a pile of ashes. The Lord sent down the wrath of thunder, and all the officials of the prison in Taicang, from top to bottom, counted all the Yi people, to rectify the law of the country, and everyone in China and abroad was shocked."

When Pang Guan heard this, the stern eyes under Lying Cang's eyebrows became more and more gloomy, and he said in a cold voice, "I forgot about it, but there is indeed such a thing."

Yin soldiers make excuses, and fire dragons burn warehouses. This kind of thing has happened endlessly since ancient times.

After this happened, Zheng Gong first sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find out the reason at all. When Zheng Gong was furious, he was very ruthless. A Shao Si Nong, who was in charge of corn hoarding, and more than a dozen subordinate officials were also implicated in this matter, and were sentenced to death in prison.

This matter can be said to have caused an uproar on the center of Zheng Guochaotang.

It is nothing more than Zheng Gong's practice of executing all of them to death without interrogation, which aroused some discussions among Legalist disciples.

But in this feudal era, the monarch had the constitution of heaven in his mouth. The so-called legal regulations are only decrees if he is willing to abide by them.

Not only Zheng Gong, but also Su Zhao was upset and sometimes flipped the table.

Pang Guan took a deep breath, and said in a bitter voice, "You idiot, you are greedy, you should kill him!"

But I couldn't help feeling a sense of powerlessness in my heart.

Although he is one of the six officials of the Zheng Kingdom, he has a high position and authority, but Zheng Guo is different in civil and military affairs. If he intervenes too much in local government affairs, he may arouse the suspicion of the owner, which is not a way of self-preservation.

"Could there be disaster victims gathering robbers in the rear to disturb the grain road?" Pang Guan asked instead.

Because more than [-] troops on the front line conquered the army formation, the safety of food and fodder transfer was almost related to the success or failure of the attack on the Soviet Union.

The lieutenant said in a concentrated voice: "There are occasional disturbances."

Pang Guan frowned, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "You will escort the [-] cavalry of the Chinese army along the grain road along the road, so that nothing will be lost."

"No!" The lieutenant clasped his fists and said.
