Chapter 495 Hehe, Poor
time flies.
Before we knew it, the rouge-like sunset glow had covered the sky.
The Baili City area belonging to Hong Ning no longer seems as lively as it was at the beginning.
On the top of the Immortal Pavilion, Zhao Qing and his aunt Ning Mei stood side by side, gazing at the empty street below and the jade-like buildings in the distance...
Their spiritual consciousness can now only move within a hundred miles. Beyond that range, they cannot perceive anything, as if they were trapped in an abyss and a dark valley - that is someone else's city.
After Luo Xianning, Xiang Qin and the other three had made arrangements in West City, they took the other half of the cultivators to South City to take over the cultivators that Si He had temporarily gathered, and then set up defenses in the border city.
With Shuyue, Qinghuan and Sihe all there, there is nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Zhao Qing was playing with the illustrated jade slip in his hand, chuckling softly and muttering to himself, "It's all very well being able to wander around on my own for now, but after the trial begins tomorrow..."
"It's become difficult for us to go to Si He. Although we can send a message at any time, Cui Yuan might have some strange tricks."
Hong Ning's eyebrows knitted slightly, and the slender hands holding the gauze lapel clenched slightly. She also put away her playful thoughts and faced the current situation seriously: "Besides, if Xiang Qin and Li Wushuang can't pass freely, their control over their subordinates will be somewhat weakened."
She bit her teeth lightly, lowered her head and sighed softly, "If I had known this would happen, Ning'er would have gone with Si He. If the two cities were adjacent, we wouldn't have these concerns."
Hong Ning was indeed feeling a little self-pitying at the moment, and her heart felt quite heavy.
She wanted to come to Tianxiang City to play with her family.
Even if she and Si He were not qualified to capture the city, they could still help other senior sisters and it would be nice to go into the city and take a look at the hustle and bustle.
Even if Zhao Qing didn't want to come, she would laugh and make a fuss, act coquettishly or beg.
but……
But the current situation was obviously different from what she had imagined.
Not to mention the resources spent by the family, she herself doesn't think it's a big deal.
But Zhao Qing and Xiaoyi's seriousness... made her heart waver and her watery eyes moved.
As for?
Chu Hongning wasn't really a fairy, she had no family background or support, and she only relied on her husband and her sisters...
The chances of getting a walking position are slim.
"You didn't say you were just going into the city for fun?"
Chu Hong's lemon-colored eyes trembled slightly as she spoke to herself softly, even with a hint of resentment in her tone, as if she were a young widow who had been let down.
Zhao Qing chuckled and glanced sideways, caressing Ning Mei's hair and shoulders: "Aren't we having fun right now?"
"At least we can stay in the city longer so we can have more fun."
"If we are driven out tomorrow, there will be no point in living in Tianxiang City."
My aunt's beautiful eyes fluttered gently, and she smiled and said to herself, "Ning'er ran away from Zhongzhou to Mingshang at that time. If she didn't say anything, she would just be hanging out with Fairy Bone?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Hongning's heart suddenly began to beat faster, as if something was holding it tightly.
She enjoyed it a little...
But this feeling is not actually very happy.
The beautiful woman was silent for a moment, then she casually pushed Zhao Qing and spat, "You're here just to get revenge on Ning'er."
Seeing this, my aunt immediately teased and scolded: "Oh! You little bitch don't know what's good for you."
Zhao Qing frowned and looked at his aunt, "How can you say that to Ningmei?"
He chuckled and shook his head, looking into Ning Mei's resentful and affectionate eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "Humph, you little bitch don't know what's good for you."
Chu Hongning: ???
"Pooh!"
A smile instantly blossomed in her eyes: "You two weren't like this when you were in Xuechuan. I don't know who gave the hairpin to Ning'er, and now you're calling Ning'er a bitch~"
"Ning'er is a little bitch, so what is a sister~?"
My aunt's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and she said with a gentle smile, "What do you think I am?"
"whispering sound!"
"Wandering hoof!"
Hong Ning turned her head away and smiled as she looked into the distance, her eyes filled with lively smiles.
Zhao Qing: ???
Why are you all scolding my wife?
He casually pulled Ning Mei into his arms, sighing with a laugh, "Things are different now... Ning'er used to be able to tease us, but now she can only suffer at home."
There was amusement in my aunt's beautiful eyes, and she nodded slightly in agreement.
"You are not a good person either..." Ningmei was hugged by Zhao Qing's slender waist. At this moment, she puffed up her cheeks and breathed out resentment, but her words were soft, as if they were love words said in bed.
My aunt stopped teasing Hong Ning and said sternly, "Although Ning'er and Si He are not from Lincheng, we are more than capable of defending ourselves with our strength. It's not really a disadvantage."
"On the contrary, the 700-li city area sandwiched between us will always worry about being captured by our combined attack."
Zhao Qing took out the painting again and looked at it: "We have to take it even if we don't want to."
"The seven cities in the southwest are must-take locations. We and Si He will eventually meet up. It's a bit inconvenient to be separated into two locations and coordinate the attack and defense."
"Um……"
Hong Ning pursed her lips in response, then her watery eyes revealed a thoughtful expression: "Didn't Xiaoyi promise that after we captured a city, she would arrange for everyone to enter and search for the secret realm of the Jade Tower?"
"At least we have to win the first battle, just to boost morale."
……
The three of them examined the illustrated jade slips together, discussing every detail.
Although Tianxiang City stretches for thousands of miles, there are a total of eighty-two cities of Tianxiang Fairy.
But the only threat that they need to pay attention to right now is the threat around them, which is 700 miles southwest of Tianxiang.
Firstly, you cannot allow others to sleep soundly next to your bed. Even if you can defend yourself...it is really uneasy to have an enemy at your doorstep.
Secondly, the hundreds of miles of North City and East City, including the city center, are still very far away from them, with dozens of cities in between, so they don’t need to worry about it for the time being.
It is impossible for people from North City to fly thousands of miles to seize Hong Ning's pavilion. Even if Hong Ning is waiting for them to take it away, the separated forces will not allow outsiders to pass through their city... That is very dangerous.
In Tianxiang City, if you want to go anywhere, you can only ride the wind or the boat.
Only Nascent Soul cultivators can use the means of transmission, and the transmission array plates carried by the cultivators also rely on spiritual consciousness to anchor the direction. When the spiritual consciousness is extremely limited, they cannot go anywhere.
Zhao Qing pondered for a moment, "Once Xiang Qin and the others have sorted out the necessary medicinal materials and spiritual tools, I will leave the city and take Senior Sister Tang with me to coordinate the resources."
"I'll return before the Tianxiang City trial starts tomorrow... so I won't come here. I'll stay in Sihe first."
"Then Shuyue and Qinghuan stayed there, accompanied by Xiang Qinxianning."
"Si He and I went out to find out the news."
Chu Hongning's expression was solemn as she nodded gently, saying, "It's still the same as Long Yuan. This time, I will be the one to communicate with Sect Leader Qin and Senior Sister Meng at all times."
"Try to get some information from outside the city. I think there will be a lot of rumors outside after Tianxiang City opens."
The aunt lazily leaned over the jade table, her slender fingers tapping unconsciously on the table, and she reminded Zhao Qing: "Before you leave the city, leave Qinghuan's life butterfly to me, so that we can always... Okay?"
As the aunt's voice came to an abrupt end, Zhao Qing and Hong Ning frowned.
Almost instinctively, the three of them felt a sense of crisis.
The battle for Tianxiang City hasn't even begun yet, and someone's already thinking of starting a fight!?
Zhao Qing's spiritual awareness instantly focused on the entire city, but his expression gradually became strange...
I saw a young girl in a scarlet tight-fitting outfit standing upright in front of a shop window. She was holding a dark, cold sniper rifle and swinging it rhythmically from side to side, trying to aim.
He was a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, and there was a demonic aura about him.
But... when she had the jade pendant hanging from her waist and her long black hair flying, the image of the sunset reflected in the sniper scope was really incongruous.
Damn it!
Zhao Qing reacted instantly.
Isn’t this Sister Zhang’s thing?
My aunt's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and she couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Sensing Zhao Qing's consciousness approaching, Jiang Yinghan raised her eyebrows, made contact with him, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, good evening."
Zhao Qing: ...
"Sister, did you come here by yourself?"
"Fifty people, but no heavy equipment. You know Sister Bian likes to go to the sea and play with the submarine fleet. Can we use the spirit boat as a plane?"
After a brief voice transmission.
The girl leaped up and transformed into a handsome and agile falcon. With a flap of her wings, she flew in front of Zhao Qing and the other two in an instant.
The agile falcon demon's eyes were sharp, and it did not transform into a human body, but directly landed on Hong Ning's shoulder: "Yinghan greets Fairy Hong Ning and Junior Sister Zhou."
"The fifth mountain master of Fengming Mountain in Yuxuan Province asked us to come over for a stroll."
Who else could the so-called mountain master of the Fenghuang lineage in Yuxuanzhou be but Whale Mother?
Zhao Qing knew without thinking that this came from the outside world... Sister Zhang has a territory of 100,000 miles in the outside world, and the birds on the biological aircraft carrier are all in the Jindan realm.
Naturally, there is no shortage of such Sky-controlling Falcons at the Foundation Establishment stage.
And there were sharks and stuff… He had seen them before.
"Ning'er, I've met Senior Sister Yinghan. Turns out she's Senior Sister Jinyi's sister. Hurry up and transform into a human form and sit down to rest!"
Hong Ning's eyes were filled with smiles, and she greeted everyone playfully.
My aunt had some strange thoughts in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel infinite anticipation...
"Yinghan?"
"So you are Yinghan."
Zhao Qing recalled for a moment and then smiled, finally remembering who this person was.
There is really no estrangement between him and Sister Zhang. Just saying "Good evening, Brother Zhao" shows that they are extremely close.
"Don't bother me, I can do it myself."
The Sky-controlling Falcon flapped its wings and flew down like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a straight-limbed young girl, who clamored to snatch the teapot from my aunt's hand.
She didn't send another voice message, but instead asked with a smile, "Brother Zhao, do you remember me?"
"of course I remember."
Zhao Qing leaned on the table and said, "The ship-borne girl on the ship at the seaside, I still have your jacket at home."
Zhao Qing remembers this clearly.
When Sister Zhang handed him the coat, she said that the thing was worn by Yinghan and he would have the chance to see it in the future.
But he never expected that Sister Zhang would actually send someone to Tianxiang City with a sniper rifle...
This……
"Let's go around the city."
Seeing that Zhao Qing's words had changed, the aunt's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately stood up and left with Hong Ning.
She realized... the help sent by Senior Sister Zhang should be hidden for the last as much as possible. She had to go outside and listen to the wind to see if anyone noticed this group of foundation-building demon cultivators, so that she could fill in the gaps and cover them up in time.
……
In the small pavilion of Yuque in the west of the city.
Zhao Qing sat back and relaxed, casually took out a bottle of foreign wine, and became friendly and friendly with Jiang Yinghan.
Although Sister Zhang's subordinates have never been to the Xiahuang Realm.
But he has been practicing in the wild for many years, and has also received knowledge from the Xiahuang Realm. Even his cultural level in science is higher than that of a college student like him.
"When did you leave? Senior Sister didn't even tell me before she left."
Jiang Yinghan also leaned casually against the wall, squatting comfortably with his hands wrapped around his calves. Then he asked with a puzzled look, "Didn't you tell my senior brother? That's impossible?"
"Jinyi told us that Huawai is temporarily handed over to you. Before she comes back...you have the final say on everything that happens in Huawai."
Uh……
That told me.
Zhao Qing chuckled and said to himself, "Can't you just arrange it yourselves? I haven't even been to Huawai many times."
"Oh……"
Jiang Yinghan looked dejected. She cast a glare at Zhao Qing with her almond-shaped eyes, then curled her lips and said, "Do you know how we got here? With our limited foundation-building skills, we were almost beaten to death on the way back from Huawai..."
"You are so cold-blooded..."
"Brother Zhao, have you forgotten us?"
Zhao Qing: ???
What the hell almost got beaten to death?
Don't you have a fleet? The kind that dominates a region?
Seeing the little demon girl's pupils rolling around, he sighed softly, "Is this true?"
"Why didn't you tell me? I'd come pick you up."
"Forget it, Senior Sister didn't leave me your contact information, and Huawai won't receive any messages."
"Jinyi is really too careless..."
Jiang Yinghan smiled and hugged her legs: "Pretending to be dead~ Do you usually coax Jinyi like this?"
Did I even win over Sister Zhang? I'm lucky enough not to be toyed with by Sister Zhang.
Zhao Qing chuckled and sighed, then asked seriously, "Did Senior Sister say when she would be back?"
"No……"
"At least a dozen years, but I don't know if it's longer. We were thinking of going with you to find her later, but you're actually waiting at home?"
"Then can you wait?"
Zhao Qing looked strange upon hearing this and fell into silence for a long time.
have to.
He gathered a large group of people to join him for dinner.
"Let's talk about it after we pass the Immortal Road. We'll talk about it when we have the chance to leave Yujing."
"Did you really find it yourself?"
The girl chuckled and shook her head: "No, my senior sisters sent us all the way here and drove the submarine directly to the outskirts of Duanlangzhou."
"Everyone is waiting for you. After you arrive in Tianxiang City, will you come with us to Duanlangzhou to meet them?"
Is this...appropriate?
Zhao Qing chuckled and nodded: "I didn't think it through enough. I'll go with you to thank everyone later."
"whee."
"You're welcome~"
The girl's almond-shaped eyes curved: "This is what we should do! I will give you this diplomacy, we are all yours~"
What the hell are all my people?
Zhao Qing instinctively felt that something was wrong.
But the girl only stretched out her small hands and argued: "We have hundreds of monks, and Jinyi still has unfinished buildings and weapons..."
"We have to develop, cultivate, and keep our family safe... Hehe, we're poor."
Zhao Qing's expression froze, and then he fell silent.
Good man, are you waiting for me here?
Sister Zhang only said that she would leave the property to me, so she wanted me to help support the family?
He sighed inwardly, what else could he do?
Just pay.
After finishing the trip to Tianxiang City, he had to go to Qiongbaoyuan to get the money. He could invite Sixth Senior Brother to have a drink, and we could all support Senior Sister's property together... He was not stingy at all.
"Money is not a problem. Whether you need mines or gold, silver, or spiritual stones, we have them all."
Zhao Qing immediately put on the role of a wealthy man and said that they were all family and these were not a problem.
Then he asked again: "What did we bring from home?"
Jiang Yinghan's face lit up immediately, and with a wave of her hand, she directly embraced the dark, cold gun in her arms, gently stroking the gun body and laughing: "We can't make a high-precision sniper rifle, so let's just keep it as a toy of our own. It's a bit old."
"We've discussed it, and those blood jade spiritual treasures have too many restrictions. The spiritual power supply and formation support are both problems. Moreover, they need to be locked with spiritual consciousness, and we have to find a way to trap the enemy."
"So I brought all the sniper rifles from home."
"The effective range is still over 3,000 yards. The formation blocks spiritual awareness, so the naked eye can't see. The sniper scope can barely see a little further."
"It's useless to attack a Phoenix cultivator, but most Foundation Establishment cultivators, if they haven't practiced their body movement speed, or if they're not careful and don't have time to defend themselves with their spiritual sense..."
"The vestments can block spells, but they can't block large-caliber bullets."
The girl's eyes curved into a smile, her small hand raised to her lips as she said, "Bang! Get shot and be carried out of the city!"
Zhao Qing raised his eyebrows. It didn't sound very powerful. The maximum range was a few miles.
However, if used to defend the city, it is actually quite useful.
A dark aura floats in my mind.
Si He was a little impatient: "Let's take one and go out to play, and act as snipers in other people's cities."
Zhao Qing: ???
Are you kidding? Do you know how to use this thing?
Besides, we are going there as undercover agents, not killers, so what do you need a gun for?
cough cough.
Zhao Qing gave Jiang Yinghan a strange look at this moment, and snatched the gun from her arms...
He put it directly into his storage ring, as if it were a matter of course.
And he said confidently: "Aren't there fifty of us? You just take charge of the command, no need to shoot."
"By the way...where are the bullets?"
