"In other words, as long as we dispel this deathly aura, Qing Jun will be fine."

"Then, how can we get rid of this thing?" Lu Hong asked.

Zhang Jiao looked at Lv Hong: "'Death' naturally requires 'life'."

Then, Zhang Jiao took out an ancient yellow book from her bosom and said, "Bao'er, bring me that bowl of medicine."

"Sister Hong'er cut her finger with a knife and dripped a drop of blood into the bowl."

After the two did as they were told, Zhang Jiao continued, "Pour the potion on the palm print."

Just as Lu Hong poured the potion mixed with a drop of her own blood onto Liu Zhaoqing's chest, Zhang Jiao closed her eyes and formed a seal with her right fingers.

Then Baoer Lu Hong saw a series of mysterious golden characters suddenly appearing from the book held in Zhang Jiao's left hand, forming a long snake-like strip that wrapped around Zhang Jiao's right hand, which was making a seal.

For a moment, Baoer and Lu Hong felt that Zhang Jiao seemed to be emitting a hazy yellow light, and being illuminated by this light, their bodies and minds seemed to be immersed in the right amount of warm water, which was extremely real.

But at this moment, Lu Hong suddenly discovered that when she poured the potion in her hand on Liu Zhaoqing's body, the palm print on Liu Zhaoqing's chest actually changed.

The pitch-black palm print began to twist and actually gathered into a claw of an unknown bird or beast, which directly grabbed her wrist, trying to stop her from pouring the potion.

Seeing this, Baoer immediately came to Lu Hong's side, grabbed her arm with one hand, gritted her teeth, and tried hard to help her stabilize herself.

At the same time, a powerful wave suddenly appeared around Zhang Jiao.

His long hair fluttered, and a golden symbol appeared between his eyebrows. He opened his golden eyes, and his sealed fingers suddenly pointed at the claws of the black mist.

In an instant, the talismans between the fingers formed several yellow dragons, which penetrated directly into the black fog, opened their mouths and started biting.

Accompanied by a low roar of an unknown creature, the black fog was completely swallowed up by the yellow dragon in just half a breath, and then disappeared into nothingness.

The palm print on Liu Zhaoqing's chest disappeared, and his complexion gradually recovered, his lips gradually turned red, and his breathing became steady.

"Success...?" Lu Hong stood there in a daze, her arms still tightly holding the bowl.

"Yeah." Zhang Jiao nodded, then slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to my two sisters."

After Liu Zhaoqing escaped from danger, Baoer hurried out to tell the good news to Zhang Liao and Guo Jia's daughter who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Only Zhang Jiao and Lu Hong were still in the room, watching Liu Zhaoqing, who had returned to normal and was now sleeping soundly.

"Madam... that thing just now seemed... conscious?" Lu Hong whispered to Zhang Jiao about her feelings just now.

"It's alive." Zhang Jiao nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, this living dead thing should be what the alien race calls the Holy Spirit."

-

When he woke up, Liu Zhaoqing thought he had traveled through time again.

Because when I looked up, I saw several women surrounding me by the bed, and they were just about to say "Are you awake?"

Zhang Jiao, Lü Hong, Bao Er, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia...

Fortunately, at first glance, they were all familiar people, which made Liu Zhaoqing feel relieved.

"What's wrong? Why are you all here?" Liu Zhaoqing asked puzzledly.

"Hoo, ma'am, you can talk! You can talk!"

"??"

"Baoer, don't be too happy yet. I don't know if there will be any other side effects."

"That's what Miss Guo said..."

Afterwards, everyone felt relieved after Liu Zhaoqing had fully demonstrated that all his abilities were normal.

Then Zhang Jiao told Liu Zhaoqing what had happened. Liu Zhaoqing was surprised that he almost died.

He did feel a little uncomfortable in his chest, but he just thought it was normal to feel a little uncomfortable after being slapped by that barbarian.

But unexpectedly, the Hu people used insidious means.

But then Liu Zhaoqing thought that he would most likely not die from the so-called "death energy".

Because the Yinglong in the body would definitely be the first to disagree, and the reason it didn't appear was because Liu Zhaoqing hadn't reached the critical moment yet.

However, Liu Zhaoqing learned the general nature of the Hu people's holy spirit from Zhang Jiao, combined with their urgent need for the divine artifact of destiny or even an emperor with true dragon bloodline.

Everything the Hu people did was for the sake of that Holy Spirit, and that Holy Spirit might indeed be some kind of "living dead thing."

After waking up, Liu Zhaoqing did not spend much time being affectionate with his lover. He called Guo Jia and asked him about the escape of the false emperor. Guo Jia nodded and said that he had heard about it from Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. When Liu Zhaoqing asked her opinion.

After some thought, Guo Jia also said that Generals Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao needed to work harder and train some qualified Yellow Turban Cavalry.

The entire Changping must be prepared to deal with foreign races.

The Xianbei foreign army will surely come.

Because Liu Zhaoqing now has five artifact fragments in his hands.

"Since the aliens forced the false emperor to summon all the fragments at the last moment in order to recast the artifact, then this artifact must be equally important to the aliens." Guo Jia looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

"And now, my lord not only has these five fragments, but also is the biggest threat from the foreign race. If I were the Chanyu of the Xianbei foreign race, I think my army would already be on the way to Changping."

Liu Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and then asked the most crucial question: "How many soldiers does Changping have now? How large an attack can it withstand?"

"There are more than a thousand ordinary soldiers and more than 800 cavalrymen who can immediately engage in battle. With the reinforcement of the city defense, they can resist about 20,000 troops." Guo Jia said.

"However, this does not count as someone close to the lord."

"What do you mean?" Liu Zhaoqing asked puzzledly.

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My Lord, you haven't seen the true power of Madam after she awakens, right?"

"With Madam here, Changping City can at least resist an army of 50,000."

Liu Zhaoqing opened his mouth slightly, then his eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of a bold plan.

"Feng Xiao..."

Just when Liu Zhaoqing looked at Guo Jia and was about to tell him what he had in mind, he found that Guo Jia smiled again.

After being surprised for a moment, Liu Zhaoqing immediately understood that Guo Jia had the same idea as him.

"My lord, don't worry. Let me invite the two generals and their wives first, and then we will go to the room over there to discuss." Guo Jia said to Liu Zhaoqing.

Then, Guo Jia called Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Zhang Jiao, and Liu Zhaoqing together.

Several people came together to a military command room that had just been cleaned up and had a sand table in the middle.

Afterwards, Guo Jia explained to everyone the current situation and the crisis that Changping and Youzhou were about to face.

Liu Zhaoqing spoke again, "As Fengxiao said, it is impossible for the Hebei princes to be persuaded and join us in fighting against the foreign races. Moreover, most of Lord Bo'an's troops will have to be transferred to the north and south to guard against the northern Hu people and the coalition forces of the Hebei princes."

"Faced with the approaching alien army, it is very likely that we in Changping will have to fight alone."

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "These princes...are really mean people."

Not only Zhao Yun, but Zhang Liao also agreed with Zhao Yun's point of view.

Everyone knows this, including Liu Zhaoqing, but there is obviously no need for him to waste his breath scolding those villains at this time.

Liu Zhaoqing nodded and said, "We can't count on villains, nor can we count on Lord Bo'an who is under attack from all sides. We can only rely on ourselves."

"Fortunately, we have already made preparations, so we are not too flustered." Liu Zhaoqing looked at Guo Jia and Zhang Jiao, "I will hand over the defense of the city to Feng Xiao, Jiao Er and others. With them here, Changping City and the people in the city should be safe within half a month."

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, Zhang Jiao looked up and asked, "What about Qingjun?"

Liu Zhaoqing did not include himself in the defense of Changping because he had other purposes.

Without looking at the sand table, Liu Zhaoqing turned to a map and pointed to the northernmost part of the map.

"I am not going to defend the city, but I am going to go here."

When everyone looked, they realized that the place was neither Changping nor Youzhou, but... endless grassland.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were both stunned for a moment, realizing what Liu Zhaoqing was going to do.

"My Lord, what are you planning to do?"

Liu Zhaoqing nodded, his eyes sharp and stern: "With Jiao'er, Bao'er and others here, our Changping City can defend against at least 50,000 troops, but this cannot actually solve the fundamental problem."

"If the Hu people can't conquer us, they can escape, just like we killed the fake emperor not long ago."

"The enemy can come and go as they please, but we have to deal with them all the time. As the situation gets worse, the soldiers and civilians in the city will get tired, and then the Hu people will find an opportunity to break through."

“So, we have to take the initiative.”

"Just like Feng Xiaogang said when he came to Changping, if we want to solve the many difficulties Changping is facing at the moment, we must adopt a permanent solution."

"And this method is to take advantage of the fact that the Hu people are coming out in full force. I will lead 800 Yellow Turban Cavalry, go north in a roundabout way, and then go outside the Great Wall to find the Holy Spirit of the Hu people and kill him."

"Once the Holy Spirit who supported the Hu people dies, my Youzhou will be covered with green mountains and green waters, and the barbarians will have nothing to worry about and will be afraid of me."

"The North will enjoy eternal peace!"

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, even Zhang Jiao, who knew him best, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Because this strategy... is really too bold, even a little ignorant of the immensity of the world.

The Xianbei are not the Wuhuan, and Mobei is not the Wuhuan Mountains. The holy spirit that cannot be purified even by human books is definitely not an ordinary ferocious beast.

Knowing that the Xianbei army was about to attack, Liu Zhaoqing dared to make such a decision. What courage and arrogance it took.

Even if the heroes with lofty ambitions in Luoyang City heard this, they would be amazed for a long time, clap their hands and drink for three days and three nights, and write several feet of bold poems to express the joy in their hearts.

This strategy is too dangerous, too difficult, full of uncertainty and impossibility.

But if this succeeds...

His achievements must have far surpassed the Battle of Wuhuan Mountain, and even exceeded the vast majority... no, probably all the achievements of defeating the barbarians in the previous dynasty.

This is a gamble bigger than the sky.

Even Guo Jia, who had also thought of this plan, couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes when he heard Liu Zhaoqing actually say it out loud, and his fists were clenched tightly.

After being surprised, Zhang Jiao felt worried, but also showed a rare look of excitement.

Because she knew that if this gamble succeeded, it would not only represent an achievement greater than the heavens, but also tangible benefits.

If this plan succeeds, Changping will be able to own the entire grassland!

This one sentence alone is enough to make everyone fascinated and excited.

However, at this time, there were two generals who had been completely unaware of the situation. They were still staring blankly at the direction of Liu Zhaoqing's finger on the map, still trapped in the gamble designed by Liu Zhaoqing and had not come to their senses.

At this time, seeing the shocked expressions of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, Liu Zhaoqing turned around and looked at them with a smile.

"Two generals, do you dare to accomplish this unprecedented feat with me?"

His voice was as calm as an old friend inviting them to admire the moon in a pavilion, but the two generals felt as if they were on a battlefield killing the enemy.

As long as he waited for them to nod, his name would be passed down through the ages along with that of the commoner man in front of him.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao had no hesitation about Liu Zhaoqing's invitation.

He knelt on one knee, bowed, and expressed in a firm tone his strong desire to help Liu Zhaoqing accomplish this feat that would go down in history.

Such courage to face danger and determination to advance and retreat together with Liu Zhaoqing made Guo Jia and Zhang Jiao nod secretly.

Although there are not many talented people around Liu Zhaoqing, he is very good at judging people.

These two generals, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, were definitely capable of commanding a region, and their personalities and characters were also rarely seen as upright and loyal.

"General Zhang is becoming more and more confident." Guo Jia sighed as he watched the two men leave the door to continue training their troops.

"She has experienced battles at the Yellow River, Luoyang, and Wuhuan Mountain, and has seen countless enemies and geniuses who are far greater than herself. However, she is not confined to the bottom of the mountain. Instead, the potential in her heart seems to be endless, and it has been gushing out like a clear spring."

Guo Jia's praise made Zhang Jiao smile: "Does Feng Xiao think so highly of Wen Yuan?"

"But it's also true. Wenyuan was very knowledgeable on the battlefield, and he has followed Qingjun since he was a minor official. Be it loyalty, ability, or courage, he is definitely not an ordinary person." Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

"But, this only makes Qingjun's vision even more unique."

"Indeed." Guo Jia nodded and couldn't agree more. "Ming Gong is a man who is better than Bole, and a man of great talent who can revive the world."

Liu Zhaoqing coughed quickly, then said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you guys were praising Wenyuan, why are you suddenly praising me now?"

"And why didn't you praise him when Wen Yuan was here?"

"Because my wife and I both know that if we praise her too much in front of General Zhang, she will feel very uncomfortable." Guo Jia sneered.
