Chapter 71 Howling Heavenly Dog, Peace and Prosperity

The banquet is over.

The two were speechless, just acting according to the situation. The so-called Wei and Jin style was bullshit.

Everyone went home, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law and their family returned immediately, and came to say goodbye before leaving.

"Shanbo, take care!" said Zhu's mother.

"Tell Yingtai that we will go back first." Zhu Gongyuan said.

"Dad, I plan to stay in Liuzhuang and practice with Master Zhang Wenzhi."

Zhu Xiongtai, who was driving, suddenly spoke.

Zhang Wenzhi likes to teach others, and Zhu Xiongtai is obsessed with martial arts. The two of them are like-minded.

After hearing this, Zhu Gongyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Nonsense, get out of here!"

What does this sound like?

If I marry a daughter, does that mean I have to give up a son as well?
Zhu Xiongtai was frightened and shrank his head back, not daring to say anything again.

"Brother Xiongtai, you should go back. You can also practice martial arts in Yuzhang."

Liang Yue secretly took out the Small Zhoutian Pure Yang Gong and a bottle of Dahuan Dan from his storage bag and gave them to Zhu Xiongtai.

"Go back and train your troops. If the situation gets chaotic in the future, Brother Xiongtai will protect the Zhu family on his own."

"Okay." Zhu Xiongtai accepted the technique solemnly, a smile spread across his face, and he said, "Great, the Zhu family will have a master from now on."

The carriage drove off.

Liang Yue got on the carriage again, and Liu Yu had already fallen asleep leaning against the carriage.

The sky is clear and blue, with bright moon and stars.

There were cries of unknown creatures outside the carriage.

Liang Yue was out of the world, as if he had nothing to do with the joyful scene just now.

It had nothing to do with him.

"This time, it was an accident that made it possible to be 'hidden' in history."

Sima Daozi's comments tend to portray himself as a hermit who enjoys traveling, rather than a person seeking immortals or Taoism.

It is not surprising for hermits who travel around to talk about metaphysics and philosophy occasionally. No one would dig up the tombs of hermits in peacetime, unless it is a time of chaos when tomb robbery is rampant.

The knight held up the torch, and the butler Bao Qian concentrated on driving the carriage. The carriage disappeared into the darkness and turned into an insignificant red dot.

Sun Tai led a dozen of his own men and stopped near the carriage.

"Brother Liang, Brother Liu, I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first. I'll have the chance to visit Mr. Shi Quanzi in the future." Sun Tai's tone was full of sarcasm. He didn't know that Shi Quanzi was dead.

Liang Yue's calm voice came from the carriage, which seemed to carry a hint of joking, saying: "Okay, it's a good meeting for old friends. Senior Shi Quanzi will definitely entertain you well."

"Shi Quanzi is too old to be feared. Liang Yue is a top-grade ordinary person, Liu Yu is a top-grade alien. They must be killed with weapons, and there is also Sima Daozi..."

Whoosh!
Sun Tae blends into the darkness.

……

In Qingshan Garden, there are many houses and a clear pond with a black turtle swimming in it and crows napping on the treetops.

A house with black tiles and white walls. There are no houses nearby and there are sturdy trees planted around it.

In the pavilion of the courtyard, a three-legged and two-eared cauldron stood, with firewood burning underneath, emitting thick black smoke.

A young man in a white robe, holding a fan, covered in dust, served on the side.

Xu Jingming stared at the boiling elixir in the furnace. He and Ge Xuanpu came here together to seek the Tao and made a vow of "never regret even if they die nine times", so he has been immersed in the pursuit of the Tao ever since then.

He never left, even after Ge Xuanpu inherited Ge Hong's name and became famous.

Liang Yue was watching over the alchemy furnace on the side. This was an ordinary fire used to refine the elixir, so there was no need to avoid people.

boom!
Suddenly, green smoke came out.

Xu Jingming quickly took out honey, flour and other tanning pills, and finally got six purple-red pills.

“This is the Purple Dragon Pill. It is made by letting a rooster eat cinnabar until all its hair falls out, taking the blood from its comb, and then adding centipede venom.” Liang Yue explained that this is the pill that is made with Zhang Wenzhi’s secret Purple Dragon Skill.

After research, Liang Yue discovered that this thing could actually increase the energy and blood of strange beasts.

When raising exotic beasts, you only need to feed them the Dragon-Raising Pill to build up their meridians and talismans, and then you can feed them with the Purple Dragon Pill.

Anyway, this is not a world of spiritual energy, so the strange beasts can just learn internal skills.

Xu Jingming kept this in mind and raised another question, "If we do this, won't the elixir become toxic?"

"This is the defect of the alien's internal force. You can study it later."

Liang Yue’s solution was to use Kuiniu She drum and Chun Yang Gong to simulate various different internal force techniques.

However, real alien internal force is indeed special. It has "properties", such as the extremely poisonous Dan Ding Gong and the Taiping Divine Fist that makes the fist membrane hard.

"The disciple understands."

After the Purple Dragon Pill cooled down, Liang Yue looked around with the pill in his hand and shouted, "Where's Xiaotian?"

“Xiaotian!!”

At this moment, the Golden Crow was startled and flapped its wings to fly into the sky, while the Black Tortoise in the pool shrank its head and dived into the water.

The two beasts were afraid that their master would come to test the elixir on them.

"I'll go out and look for it!"

Xu Jingming went out to search for a long time.

"Wang Wang..."

There was a low growl from not far away.

The black-haired cockapoo came running over and stopped at Liang Yue's feet, holding a dead mouse in its mouth. Its tail was wagging like a fan, and it looked at him with a flattering face.

Liang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He touched Xiaotian's head. This was the thin dog that Bao Qian had found a few days ago. He smiled and said, "Throw it away. The master won't eat it. Let him eat the pill."

Xiaotian threw away the mouse, jumped up and ate the Purple Dragon Pill.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Xiaotian excitedly wagged his tail around Liang Yue, his expression distorted, but he had to pretend to be extremely happy, with his emotional value at its maximum.

quack quack!
The Golden Crow howled in the air, as if saying that this kid was trying to please him on purpose, knowing clearly that his master did not eat mice and bones.

"Haha, good boy, go play."

Liang Yue watched Xiaotian digest the pill before letting it go.

"Woof woof!" Xiaotian, who had been ecstatic just now, immediately ran out of the door.

Jinwu is too "cheap", Xuanwu is too lazy, only this black dog always thinks about his master, with the highest emotional value.

"Xuanwu has the longest lifespan and is lazy, so he can guard the corpse in front of the tomb. Jinwu and Xiaotian will guard the house and yard, so they will live as long as they can."

Liang Yue thought about it, and then let Xu Jingming comprehend the elixir on his own.

Life in the mountains is short.

A month later, the Taiping Heavenly Master rebelled. All of a sudden, people from Wuxing, Wujun, Xin'an, Linhai, Yongjia, and Yixing counties, except Dongyang and Kuaiji, responded and raised an army of 50,000.

The war lasted for more than a month.

The army killed Wang An, the prefect of Wuxing, Yu Cheng, the prefect of Wujun, and Xie Dao, the prefect of Yongjia... The sons of Wang and Xie, and the sons of Yu Huan were all killed in the battle. Many middle-level aristocratic families lost their families or their leaders were killed in the battle.

Sun Tai's army attacked Jiankang together, preparing to capture the Sima family in one fell swoop.

Sun Tai's nephew Sun En led a navy.

There was chaos and war, Yellow Turban camps, and fluttering prayer flags.

When Sun En heard his subordinates report that the six counties had responded, he could not help but show his joy and said to his subordinates: "The world is pacified. In a few days, we will go to Jiankang wearing the official uniforms of the court."

But they are not regular troops after all.

The Sima court sent the Northern Army across the river to suppress the rebellion. Although Sun Tai killed many Northern Army generals, he was ultimately unable to capture the big city and had to transfer troops to other places.

Sun En heard that his uncle Sun Tai had changed his goal, and said to his subordinates: "If you take a step back, you can still be a local lord. Wait for Sima Guozuo to fall, and there is nothing wrong with separatist six counties."

"All heavenly soldiers, listen to my order. Take down Kuaiji and Dongyang!" Sun Tai, leading the army alone, shook his head and pointed at this tough nut to crack.

Liang Yue and Liu Yu are finally going to face off against you again.

In Kuaiji City, soldiers and horses were killing in a frenzy.

There were many brave generals in the big camp.

Liu Yu wore a black helmet with a red tassel and a red cloak. He had a tough face and the small scars added to his murderous look.

Sun Tai and I are essentially the same type of people. We both want to be gravediggers of the rich and powerful. However, what makes me different from him is that I know how to build and have strategies for governing a country, rather than just wanting to become a new rich and powerful.

Sun Tai's rebellion this time was a good opportunity to help eliminate the more stubborn aristocratic forces in the southeast.

"The families that crossed the river first monopolized the benefits. If we who crossed the river later can't make it, we will go and share the things with those who crossed the river first." Liu Yu thought of his third brother's words and thought they made sense.

"Report!"

"Report! The army is still fifty miles away."

Liu Yu stood up and asked, "How many of us are there?"

"Ten thousand people! The other side has at least forty thousand."

"Okay, before the sun rises, defeat the Sun Tai bandits!"

"As ordered!"

The armies fought each other in chaos.

A Yebushou troop composed entirely of masters of internal strength traveled at night.

The leader is Tan Shao and his deputy is Changle's head Tan Daoji. They are responsible for collecting the treasures of the aristocratic families and looking for the clues Liang Yue needs.

"Let's go to Qiantang Sun's house."

Tan Daoji suddenly saw a petite figure. He stepped forward and removed the veil, revealing a beautiful face. He was shocked and said, "Liu Jue, why is it you? Go back quickly!"

"I also know martial arts, I want to go too." Liu Jue's tone was firm and unquestionable. She specialized in the Eight Animal Skills, so even if she was defeated, she could still escape.

Tan Daoji had no choice but to say, "Okay, follow me closely."

The masters rode their horses into the night.

Liuzhuangwu Fort.

Thousands of troops in Changle Town were fully armed, the lights were on, and Zhang Wenzhi led everyone to the watchtower.

Most of Xie Xuan's descendants are here.

"Alas, it's fate." Xie Xuan sighed deeply. He also heard that other relatives of the family had been killed.

The Xie family is large and powerful, and he cannot interfere in everything.

It can only be said to be personal destiny.

Liang Yue sat aside and drank leisurely, cooking pickled vegetables and tofu beside him, eating and drinking with his daughter. Zhu Yingtai had already fallen asleep and her due date was approaching.

The army's morale must not be disturbed, at least the commander-in-chief must not be nervous and panic-stricken.

Wang Ningzhi sighed and said, "Shanbo's magnanimity is admirable, but it's not the right time. Liu Yu has too few troops and lacks experience. I'm afraid we will be captured."

"It's okay, just wait for the good news."

The sky gradually brightened and no one wanted to sleep. From time to time, shouts and screams could be heard from outside. Liang's troops shot and killed many bandits on the city wall.

"Report!!"

The soldier came running over and handed over a letter.

Liang Yue took a look and then put it down.

Everyone quickly asked what it was.

"Nothing special, my elder brother defeated the rebel army and won a great victory."

When these words were spoken, everyone cheered, and some people also sighed that Shanbo was calm in his handling of the situation.

Only Xie Xuan and Xie Daoyuan, brother and sister, looked at each other.

Isn’t this the poem of my uncle Xie Anshi?
"Shanbo, I advise you not to go too far." Xie Xuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

However, this method of stabilizing people's hearts is indeed effective.

At this moment, the woman who always took care of Zhu Yingtai came running over.

"Master, the mistress is about to give birth."

Liang Yue then regained his tense expression and quickly ran to the back house.
