Chapter 43 Adviser, Tower of Babel (3)
However, she was surprised that they were able to invite Mr. Xiangbo. She knew very well the character of Mr. Xiangbo. He seemed to be a good gentleman, but in fact he was difficult to communicate with in various ways. To simply describe his character
Similar to water, it turns to ice when it is cold and turns into steam when it is hot. It changes with the changes in the environment. It is slippery and hard to grasp, which is very annoying.
"Mr. Xiangbo...is he willing to take action?" Chen Baiqi asked in surprise.
Shan Hu knew the truth. He smacked his lips, smacked his lips in the direction of his lord, and said with a wicked smile: "He refused at first, but after the lord had a private conversation with him, he changed his mind.
He began to agree to help, and I don’t know what kind of medicine the master gave him, and he was relieved immediately."
Although Shan Hu is not as familiar with Chen Baiqi as the others, he has been protected by him after getting along with him during a trip to Mogao Grottoes. In addition, she asked Mr. Xiangbo to come out to save the master's life, so he acted based on his master's expression in many matters.
, so he did not shy away from her.
Was it Young Master Cang Yue who persuaded him personally? His eloquence suddenly became so good. She especially remembered how he failed to return home the last time everyone went out to Shengyang Lake. Chen Baiqi turned to Young Master Cang with his gentle and moist eyes.
On the moon.
Young Master Cang Yue Qingjun looked forward arrogantly. When he felt Chen Baiqi's gaze resting on his face, his heart felt like a feather lightly scratching his face, and he could not hold back his reserved expression and said: "He is not willing to move.
I also don’t want to become a person begging for food from the hands of the Queen, so I am naturally willing to help Pingling County resist Zhao and push back the enemy."
His words were somewhat sarcastic, because no matter how different their personalities and appearances are, there is basically no difference in their essence whether they are Hou Qing or Mr. Xiangbo. After all, they were cultivated in the same place. They only insist on
They will ignore and will not interfere with matters that belong to their own "Tao" and have nothing to do with the "Tao". This style of behavior is called pride at best, but it is equivalent to another name called "arrogance of the capable" at worst.
Naturally, the person he "helped" was not any "person", but Pingling County, which was about to fall into the hands of Zhao State or Hou Qing.
Chen Baiqi seemed to understand.
"Inviting Mr. Xiangbo to dispatch must be to defeat the Queen's tricks, but how can you be sure that Mr. Xiangbo can force the Queen to retreat?" Chen Baiqi probably knew the depth of the Queen's methods, but he did not know the specific capabilities of Mr. Xiangbo.
Therefore, she was very curious about the basis on which Master Cang Yue made this judgment when he handed over the only way out to Mr. Xiang Bo.
Young Master Cang Yue understood what she meant. His eyes were as deep as the dusk mist, and he looked at a certain place in the air: "I was not sure before... but now the Queen does not have many trump cards in her hand. With Mr. Xiangbo's advice,
If his reputation could not be defeated by the Empress of this level, then he would have been plotted to death by the Empress the moment he came out of Guigu Valley, and how could he have lived a carefree and secluded life in Shengyang Lake for so many years.
"
This... makes sense.
Chen Baiqi thought about another thing: "Well, when did you agree?"
"Without receiving the signal, they all attacked with one stick of incense."
Chen Baiqi checked the system time, and it was already 5:23. Calculating the time of coma, basically more than an hour had passed.
It's a pity that the situation outside can't be detected in the tower. For more than an hour, I don't know whether Hou Qing left when he couldn't find them everywhere, or continued to wait and see, or whether Mr. Xiangbo came and was reminiscing with him...
...In addition, although the tower is currently safe, the protective shield is about to be lifted. At this time, I don't know whether I should risk going out or continue to stay in the tower...
She glanced around and saw that there were quite a lot of people in the tower. Her "Night Owl" team plus the Cang Yue Army had more than a hundred people, and they were quite powerful. Then, she looked at Dazed again.
Patrolling Minotaur, view its information.
Name: Minotaur
Level:5
Attributes: Strength 50; Defense 30; Physical strength 100;
Description: The monster guarding the tower on the first floor of Babel Tower.
This bull-headed monster doesn't look very strong. After all, this is only the first level. Otherwise...she will clear the first level first and wait for enough time before taking them out?
Thinking like this, Chen Baiqi felt that the idea of grouping monsters to spawn monsters was not a great idea. She secretly thought about the rich rewards that would be obtained after clearing this level of the tower.
"Lord, the current situation is unclear, so you might as well take a rest first." Shan Hu knew that Young Master Cang Yue's old injury had not healed, so he advised him when he saw that he was standing here with them.
Young Master Cang Yue turned a deaf ear to it. In this strange and strange environment, he had no time to pay attention to his cultivation.
Chen Baiqi woke up from her thoughts and asked subconsciously: "Are your injuries better?"
Young Master Cang Yue turned to look at her, his expression was calm, but there was a different kind of brilliance in his eyes: "When I woke up this time, I felt very good..."
When he woke up, he felt moist and slightly sweet in his mouth, which made his burning throat feel much better. This feeling was just like the "potion" she took last time, and the original pain in the chest wound actually
No longer feeling the pain, he wanted to ask out loud if she had given him some magical "potion" while he was in coma, but the words came to his lips, but he thought it would be better to ask in private.
Ji Yun, who was next to Chen San, always felt that the atmosphere between them was... strangely sticky. His eyes flashed slightly, he pursed his lips, and seemed to interject casually: "Master Cang Yue.
, now we are all trapped in this formation, I don’t know how to deal with this matter?"
He took a step forward and saluted Young Master Cang Yue.
At present, among the people, Young Master Cang Yue is the leader, so it is reasonable to ask each other for advice.
Young Master Cang Yue rolled her eyelashes and glanced at Chen Baiqi: "Does Chen San have this method to break the formation?"
Huh? As soon as Chen Baiqi caught his gaze, she suddenly woke up. She almost forgot that she had the bug to see through all formations, but the problem was... this was not any formation at all, it was all made up by her, so she hesitated
He said seriously: "This formation is too profound..."
At this point, she stopped, leaving a blank space for them to use their brains.
The implication of this is...it just doesn't work.
Shan Hu and others were staring at her with shining eyes. When they heard her words, the light in their eyes dimmed, and they were obviously disappointed.
Young Master Cang Yue did not feel disappointed. He folded his hands and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Wait a little longer."
The others bowed their hands and said "Promise" and then dispersed. This was the only plan for now.
"I have something I want to discuss with you alone." Young Master Cang Yue turned her head and suddenly spoke to Chen Baiqi.
Chen Baiqi blinked his eyelashes and smiled lightly.
She probably knew what he was going to ask.
Ji Yun frowned slightly. He glanced at Chen Baiqi and saw that she had no objection, so he suppressed his words of rejection. Sijiang looked normal and had no objections. Ju Ze completely obeyed Chen Baiqi, and the others were even more so.
There was no objection, so they all bowed and left, then cleared the surrounding area, barely leaving a large area for them to "talk alone."
However, the total area of the tower is so large, even if they close their ears and cannot hear, they can still see it by casually rolling their eyes.
More than ten meters away, Ji Yun and Si Jiang stood side by side, staring at the figures of Chen Baiqi and Young Master Cang Yue standing alone opposite each other, while Ju was like a taciturn little follower, immersed in the dark background, watching silently.
Chen Baiqi is alone.
"Brother-in-law, tell me, what is Young Master Cang Yue planning to talk to Xiao San'er?" Si Jiang smiled and squinted her eyes, with the ends of her eyes raised like a fox.
"Don't look at anything inappropriate." Ji Yun glanced away and replied coldly.
Regarding the title "brother-in-law", he was too lazy to correct him endlessly.
Oh, this man is really old-fashioned. Si Jiang's smiling eyes turned, and an idea came to his mind. He suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Hey - Master Cang Yue actually hugged the mistress!"
What?!
Ji Yun was startled and immediately looked back hurriedly.
Seeing his nervous look, Si Jiang burst out laughing on the spot: "Hahaha, my brother-in-law really believed this nonsense. Could it be that he had suspicions and suspicions in his heart... Hahaha..."
When Ji Yun saw the two people in front of her standing in observance of etiquette, where did the unusual behavior come from? This was obviously Si Jiang lying. She didn't know whether it was because he was fooling him or because he meant something in his words. Ji Yun was immediately confused.
Lowering his face, he stared at Si Jiang coldly: "You are so arrogant, you can't hold back your words."
——
On the other side, Si Jiang and her brother-in-law were having a good time. On this side, Young Master Cang Yue finally found a chance to be alone with Chen Baiqi. He stared at her with a deep expression. After a long while, Fang opened his lips and said, "Chen San, why are you here?"
?”
This time he had completely calmed down, so his mind was filled with all kinds of puzzles and doubts.
If he had known that Young Master Cang Yue would ask this question first, Chen Baiqi smiled and stopped hiding anything. He told everything that had happened before, excluding some secrets that could not be told.
Young Master Cang Yue was stunned. He never thought that so many adventures would happen to her in just one night.
"How did you become Tooru?"
"There was one among Chen Sanhu who knew the art of disguise. He was the one who disguised Chen San like that. By the way, it was him..." Chen Baiqi pointed to Si Jiang's position and said: "Earlier, he disguised his brother-in-law, Ju Yi.
I sneaked into the army and accompanied Chen San, did the young master ever notice?"
At that time, he was only looking at her, leaving no peripheral vision for others. Young Master Cang Yue's face turned pale and she automatically skipped the last question.
"Since it's you, why have you kept hiding it... What if..." If it hadn't been for an accident that made him recognize her, wouldn't he have watched her die in front of him without knowing the truth?!
Thinking of this, Young Master Cang Yue's face turned slightly pale, and she still felt lingering fear.
"Fortunately, we are all still alive and well." Chen Baiqi said with a smile.
"What gave your little sister-in-law the courage to stand in front of me? What were you thinking at that time?" Young Master Cang Yue's calm eyes... seemed to be a little entangled.
"I don't think about anything. I just want the young master to be alive, Chen San to be alive... everyone to be alive." Chen Baiqi sighed.
Young Master Cang Yue's eyes flashed, and she covered her eyes with the shadow of her long eyelashes. The sound was like a melodious cello, with a hint of hoarseness: "I already owe you two lives..."
Chen Baiqi didn't answer this. She joked: "Chen San said before that I will become better and better, so hiring me as the son's counselor is definitely worth the money."
"You are really like all the sisters-in-law I have ever met... no, you are the most special among them all." After finishing speaking, Young Master Cang Yue covered her mouth and coughed, and fluttered her eyelashes.
Chen Baiqi's expression changed: "Then..." Let's decide on this "status" now rather than choosing a day.
System: Attention, the protective cover of the first floor tower is about to be lifted, the countdown is 3...2...
Chapter completed!
