Chen Baiqi knew that he was suffering from the "sickness" of self-pity again, so he did not argue with him. He only said in a tone that "it's time to talk about business": "The remaining party members of the Zhao army and the queen are gone?"

The remaining party refers to the several generals of the Zhao army who surrendered before the Cang Yue Army. It is not known whether they knew about Hou Qing's plan, but they killed all the others. Unfortunately, they were only detained in the end and escaped.

kill.

When the word "houqing" was mentioned, Mr. Xiangbo's porcelain-white and slightly withered face suppressed a bit of gloom, and his long eyebrows were dark and dark. It was obvious that the queen had left something indelible on him.

The shadow made him think about it and become gloomy and silent.

Chen Baiqi chuckled lightly; "Is this question so difficult to answer?"

Mr. Xiangbo looked at her, squinting his eyes from the corner of his eyes. At that time, a bright light traced the flawless beauty of his face like a halo. He first laughed at himself with no meaning, and then turned his gaze in a corner.

, betting on the young master Cang Yue who was surrounded by the Cang Yue army in the front and supported with "concern", feeling a little worried.

"When I came with the army just now, I saw that the formation in front of me had been evacuated and there were only Zhao Jun's corpses lying on the ground. However, this place is a place where the evil spirits gathered. I searched and smelled the atmosphere of the formation and knew that the queen must be here.

The Forbidden Curse Formation was laid out. The pros and cons of this Forbidden Curse were obvious... He was willing to risk the backlash of the formation to kill Young Master Cang Yue, but unexpectedly, he suffered heavy losses in this encounter.

We definitely need to be more vigilant and careful.”

These words sounded somewhat compassionate, but Chen Baiqi didn't think that just because he had a Bodhisattva-hearted face, he had a Bodhisattva-hearted heart.

Chen Baiqi listened, her slender eyebrows and apricot eyes tightened between her eyebrows, her heart thumped, and she asked tentatively: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

Mr. Xiangbo glanced at her and put his head close to her cheek. There was a thin dark light under the shadow of her long eyelashes. His unhealthy purple lips pursed a careful arc that told a secret. He did not put up any defense between men and women, afraid that

Since the next words were not easy for others to hear, he whispered to her in a low voice: "I have been with the Queen for more than ten years, and I know his temper very well. He is a cautious person and never takes risks. If he attacks, he will definitely defeat the enemy when he returns."

It shows that he is a sage, so he... has a problem, uh, a villain, that is... he cannot afford to lose. There are indeed many people in the world who are more capable than him, but in his life

But he has never lost, why? Because he has good patience, and his abrasive patience is even better. He gives in, endures, retreats, and plots. Caution can catch thousands of cicadas, and caution can drive for thousands of years.

The ship will wait until later to find its fatal weakness and then attack it, and go straight to Huanglong to destroy its foundation... Well, logically, he must be confident of breaking through the city and killing the enemy this time, but unexpectedly he fell down. It's really not true.

Like what he will encounter, this time he persuaded Zhao Xinjun to send tens of thousands of troops to capture Pingling County. He was overqualified and underused, but Young Master Cang Yue made him suffer such a big loss. According to his temperament..." said

At this point, Mr. Xiang Bo's expression changed. He stared at Chen Baiqi very seriously and said, "I have concluded that he will definitely be like this gangrene on his bones in his life, and he will fight to the death."

Mr. Xiangbo's words were like casual chat, revealing a kind of indifferent speculation. In fact, this was quite normal. After all, to him, Young Master Cang Yue was just a stranger whom he had met several times. He did not envy his dignity.

Their status is not dependent on the power they possess. The few times they meet are not even pleasant.

However, he didn't understand why Chen Baiqi's face turned pale when he was talking about other people's affairs, revealing a bit of indescribable stubbornness and helplessness.

Mr. Xiangbo really didn't understand, because he didn't know that the person who caused the Queen to suffer such a big loss was not the young master Cang Yue, but a person like her who was not even famous among the nobles of the vassal states and even the Chu state.

The slender and weak girl... Isn't it strange that Mr. Xiangbo didn't know, but the Queen should know it. In this case, his clear speculation fell on Chen Baiqi's ears, so he replaced "Young Master Cangyue"

If she becomes her, then the person who will fight to the death with the Queen in the future... will naturally become her?

"What are the specific backlashes of casting the forbidden spell?" Chen Baiqi wanted to know more detailed information, so he politely asked his brother-in-law and the others to temporarily make some space for their convenience by "reminiscing about old times" with Mr. Xiangbo.

Ju Ziran listened to Chen Baiqi, she said that he was one, and Si Jiang probably knew what she was going to ask, and he winked at her to indicate that he understood.

Ji Yun met Mr. Xiangbo for the first time, but it was not the first time he heard about his reputation. He had always admired the abilities of sages and sages, and yearned for him to learn more and learn more about him. However, this was not a good time. He was cautious about the world.

When greeting him, he should keep his face straight, greet him with the highest etiquette as a scholar, and then show his respect by greeting him with a courtesy. Then he would not bother him, and show his elegance and broad-mindedness to the fullest, hoping that he would leave a good impression on him.

So that I can visit you and ask for advice someday.

Mr. Xiang Bo saw that his behavior was elegant and generous, his conversation was generous and decent, and he had some traces of the upper-class aristocracy (referring to the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty). He said to Chen Bai: "This person is quite nihilistic and indifferent, which is the elegance of Tiande."

Character."

"Brother-in-law Chen San's move of 'don't greet him without hiding', does it make Mr. Xiang Bo feel a little emotional?" After hearing this, Chen San temporarily put aside the gloom in his heart and said with a smile.

Ji Yun was vaguely the second-in-command of the "Night Owl" team. As soon as he turned around and left, the others seemed to have received a weathervane, and they understood it without speaking. Most of them had closed their ears, so they did not understand the "relative"

What does the name "Mr. Bo" mean? They felt that Miss Chen and Mr. Ji were both polite to him. They must be no ordinary people, so they raised their hands and bowed (commoners don't know how to salute according to hierarchical situations, so saluting has always been difficult.

Etiquette, done casually) gave Mr. Xiangbo due respect, and then left one after another in a hurry. For fear of offending Mr. Xiang, their backs were slightly hurried when they left.

"How can anyone ridicule their brother-in-law like this? It's just that your brother-in-law looks blessed and has a bright future. In this way, your relationship will be close from birth to death, and you can help the Chen San family to redefine their destiny."

Rank of the noble family." Mr. Xiangbo laughed and rubbed his forehead, his tiredness was obvious. However, this seemingly casual topic actually brought up Chen Baiqi intentionally.

However, Chen Baiqi was not much surprised when he heard this, which was different from the reaction predicted by Mr. Xiangbo.

"Chen San, don't you agree with what someone said?" He couldn't help blurting out.

"No, Xiangbo's ability in physiognomy can be said to be universal. How could Chen San dare to question it? It's just..." Chen Baiqi looked at Ji Yun's back and slowly evoked a smile, which was vague and casual: "Clan

My sister has been dead for many years, and the Chen family can no longer restrain him. There is a saying that the great roc flies away in anger, its wings hang down from the clouds in the sky, the water hits three thousand feet, and the support is ninety thousand miles away. Now my brother-in-law is taking off like this great roc.

, will eventually reach the sky... However, instead of placing hope on him, it is better to hold it firmly in one's own hands. Moreover, those who are skillful work hard but those who know are worried, and those who are incompetent have nothing to ask for. Chen San does not expect anyone's support, everything

Just wait and see if you work hard at home."

"Chen San is very ambitious." Mr. Xiangbo listened quietly and only made a simple comment.

To be honest, her words sounded "too high-spirited" to ordinary people. If she didn't complain and scold her immediately, she would be considered a gentleman. It's just that Mr. Xiangbo appreciated her upright and upright character, so he praised her as a good person.

Chen Baiqi no longer continued this topic to offend him. She knew that the world gave many people various opportunities and ways of living, but at the same time it also restricted many ideas and thoughts. Even the open-minded and transparent Mr. Xiangbo could not

To sincerely believe that a noblewoman from a fallen noble family can single-handedly revitalize the prestige of the Chen family in the future.

However...Mr.

There are subtle details of human nature or the direction of destiny, but Chen Baiqi's face does not.

Her face was like a mask frozen in time, and all the past and future were stagnant. It wasn't that he couldn't see through it, but that he simply couldn't see the problem from the fake face.

Therefore, he has a somewhat different and special concern for the future direction set by Chen Baiqi. He believes that she is an extraordinary person, but how far she can go is difficult to guess based on the current eyes of the world.

Finally come.

"Sir, there is something that Chen Sansan is very concerned about. What is the backlash of this forbidden curse?"

Seeing that Chen Baiqi was obsessed with this question, Mr. Xiangbo thought that she must be asking about Master Cang Yue. He privately thought that Chen Baiqi's feelings for Master Cang Yue were very unusual.

"I don't know exactly what kind of harm the backlash will cause, but if I can let the queen know that it is someone, and choose to retreat without a fight, the backlash is definitely not ordinary. The backlash is probably like this

Although he can control the Yin evil energy for his own use, if he is not careful, he will also suffer its reaction. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach in this world," said Mr. Xiangbo.

Chen Baiqi was silent for a while and then said: "So, he won't make a comeback anytime soon?"

Mr. Xiangbo saw that she was really considering this matter seriously, so he smiled dumbly: "Don't worry, Master Cangyue has indeed been at his lowest in fortune in the past six months, but after this period of time, will he be very prosperous? At least in the next few years

There will not be any life-threatening catastrophes, but instead purple energy will come from the east and noble people will help."

To be honest, Xiangbo had to reveal the secret to her many times. He thought he could reassure her, but he didn't expect her to still be worried.

In fact, Chen San was not worried about others, she was worried about herself.

However, some words are only suitable to be kept in one's own heart and are not easy for others to talk about, so Chen Baiqi could only sigh.

When their conversation reached a deadlock, it happened that Young Master Cang Yue came over with his team. Chen Baiqi took one look at them and told Mr. Xiang Bo to retreat, not to stay here any longer and disturb their conversation.

Young Master Cang Yue glanced at Chen Baiqi's side face, and when he saw that he was avoiding him, he didn't say anything and just continued to move forward calmly.

They only exchanged a few words. Firstly, Mr. Xiangbo obviously did not play a decisive role when he came to the rescue, so Master Cangyue's thanks were not so grand. Secondly, Master Cangyue and Mr. Xiangbo

Currently, we are all in a negative state of mental weakness and physical weakness, so we should leave important matters until we have the energy to discuss them in private later.

Concerning the failure of Hou Qing's conspiracy and disappearance, Young Master Cang Yue did not give up, so he sent people to search every piece of land in the forest. However, the feedback came back with no news about Hou Qing and others, while Chen Baiqi

After checking the map, I didn't see any trace of them on the nearby map. I guess they must have quietly evacuated Huaishan Hill while they were still in the tower.

Seeing that the sky was getting gloomy and there was still no news from Hou Qing and the others as night fell, Prince Cang Yue left a team behind to continue searching in the forest, while the rest set off back to the city.

On the way back, they had to go around a few hills that were not too high. When they stood on a high place and looked at the location of Pingling County, they saw a majestic city shrouded in mist. Its color was cold and deep, showing a bit of...

The silent attitude of the years.

Outside the city wall, a crowd of black crows like ants licking sugar could be seen gradually retreating. Although they were far away, they could still hear a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the city that seemed to lift the sky of Pingling City.

.

Chen Bai rode on a tall horse and stared blankly at the city from a distance, seeming a little distracted.

System: Congratulations, you have completed the Pingling County territory task and received 100 merit points, 30 prestige, and 10 charm.
Chapter completed!
