"Then...thank you Sister Benchu." Liu Zhaoqing didn't know how to answer, so he could only express his gratitude.

"It's just a casual reminder." Yuan Shao's expression returned to normal after he finished speaking. "I have to write two letters immediately. Does Zhao Qing have anything else to say?"

Liu Zhaoqing shook his head, but just as he was about to leave, he remembered something.

"What else?" Yuan Shao asked puzzledly.

"Speaking of Luoyang, I remembered that Sister Benchu ​​had a younger brother who was originally a general of the palace guards. Later, he seemed to be highly valued by Dong Zhuo. But now... why haven't I seen him?"

The person Liu Zhaoqing was talking about was naturally Yuan Shu.

He had met Yuan Shu a few times, and the memories were not very good, but that did not prevent Liu Zhaoqing from being curious and confused about the affairs of the Yuan family.

"Isn't it normal that he didn't see it?" Yuan Shao asked back, "He didn't participate in the anti-Dong movement."

"That's exactly what's wrong." Liu Zhaoqing frowned and said, "Think about it, although Dong Zhuo treats the Yuan family well, because the Yuan family helped He Jin before, Dong Zhuo will be somewhat concerned. Even if he doesn't say it, he won't use the Yuan family too much in his heart."

"And now the world is in chaos, and Yuan Shu doesn't look like someone who is willing to be Dong Zhuo's running dog, so I was quite surprised that he didn't join the anti-Dong coalition."

Yuan Shao put down the pen in his hand, frowned and thought for a moment before answering: "I don't know much about him. He and I have never gotten along well."

"However, he does have great ambitions. The reason why he did not participate in the anti-Dong movement is probably because he thinks our power is not as strong as Dong Zhuo's."

"So where is he now?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"I'm not sure about that." Yuan Shao shook his head.

This doubt had to be left at that.

After bidding farewell to Yuan Shao's tent, Liu Zhaoqing returned to his own camp, but he did not rest.

He wrote a letter about his encounter with Lu Bu and what he wanted to do afterwards, and sent it to Zhang Jiao, Guo Jia and others in Youzhou.

Before releasing the falcon, Liu Zhaoqing took out a small black pill from his pocket and fed it to it, then threw it into the sky.

The pill was nothing special; it was a measure to ensure that there would be no accidents during the message transmission.

Originally, the pill was just a failed experiment of Baoer's, intended to cure those who had accidentally eaten mushrooms, but unexpectedly, a small detail was wrong, and not only did it fail to wake those people up immediately, but it made the hallucinations even more serious.

It will make the patient imagine himself as a bird as big as Peng, with unrivaled momentum, which will also cause the patient to run around on the ground with his arms outstretched after taking the drug.

Although the effects of this failed drug are not fatal to humans, they are a bit too scary.

But unexpectedly, after Baoer discovered that the medicine was eaten by a sparrow, the sparrow's flying speed and reaction increased to an incredible level.

Naturally, the same is true for Xinshun. At that time, Liu Zhaoqing thought of its current usage scenarios.

Before Liu Zhaoqing left Changping, he specially asked Baoer to make more of these things, which could be regarded as turning waste into treasure. He no longer had to worry about the falcon being intercepted or important information being leaked.

After delivering the letter, Liu Zhaoqing had not been standing in the tent for long when Zhang Liao walked in from outside the tent.

She held a piece of letter in her hand.

"What is this?" Liu Zhaoqing thought of something.

"My daughter gave it to me. She said it was a reply letter from Changping. It should be from Madam Zhang and the military advisor, right?" Zhang Liao said.

I received a reply right after I delivered the letter. Of course, it was not because Liu Zhaoqing's letter was delivered instantly. The reply from Changping was in response to Liu Zhaoqing's first letter.

He quickly asked Zhang Liao to hand the letter to him. After Liu Zhaoqing opened it, he saw the familiar and beautiful handwriting. It was undoubtedly written by Zhang Jiao.

After taking some time to read it twice, Liu Zhaoqing smiled.

The letter did not contain much concern, but it made Liu Zhaoqing feel at ease. Zhang Jiao and Guo Jia were running Changping City in an orderly manner, which was the best comfort for Liu Zhaoqing.

After putting the letter away, Liu Zhaoqing rubbed his neck which was a little sore from keeping the same posture. Then, seeing Zhang Liao still standing by, he asked, "Wenyuan, is there anything else?"

Zhang Liao did have something to ask Liu Zhaoqing, but she felt it was a bit rude.

"Wenyuan, just say it directly. Are you afraid that I will blame you?" Liu Zhaoqing asked with a smile.

Given the relationship between him and Zhang Liao, Liu Zhaoqing would not care that much even if Zhang Liao was really rude.

"It's about... Gao Shun." Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, then said, "How will you deal with Gao Shun?"

"Oh? Wenyuan is also interested in Gao Shun?" Liu Zhaoqing asked curiously.

Zhang Liao nodded slightly. "She and I are both from Bingzhou. We both worked as minor officials before, and... it seems we are also in Yanmen County."

"Also in Yanmen County?" Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled. "Doesn't that mean that she and Wenyuan were both small soldiers before... well, I mean, they were both insignificant soldiers. Did they work together?"

"Yes." Zhang Liao nodded, "But I don't know the details. She didn't tell me."

"Huh?" Liu Zhaoqing caught the key information, "So Gao Shun is willing to chat with Wen Yuan?"

Nodding slightly, Zhang Liao told Liu Zhaoqing that after Liu Zhaoqing said those words to Gao Shun and left, Zhang Liao asked her a lot of questions during the time they were alone together.

Although Gao Shun didn't say much at the beginning, when Zhang Liao used the fact that they were both from Bingzhou as an entry point, she still said a lot.

The purpose of Zhang Liao telling Liu Zhaoqing about this matter was also to hope that Liu Zhaoqing could make proper arrangements for Gao Shun.

"If we follow what my benefactor said before and keep Gao Shun here, I don't think she will change at all," said Zhang Liao.

"She has a strong character, and if she is forced to break, she will break directly. If you want to recruit her, I think it would be better to take other measures at the same time."

This was Zhang Liao's suggestion, and it seemed that he did not trust Liu Zhaoqing's ability, so he hesitated before asking.

However, Liu Zhaoqing didn't think it was a big deal. Instead, it felt like a wake-up call.

"Indeed..." After thinking for a while, Liu Zhaoqing frowned and nodded: "I can't take it for granted that she is someone who can surrender."

"Then what 'other method' do you think would be better?"

Zhang Liao was speechless when she heard this, because she hadn't expected it either.

"It seems that your benefactor has not thought of it either. How about we go and ask Miss Xun?" Zhang Liao said.

"Wen Ruo?" Liu Zhaoqing thought about it and felt that it was feasible. "Then Wenyuan, go ask Wen Ruo. She should be counting food and grass with Zhou Cang and Zilong. Tell me after you ask her."

Zhang Liao took the order and soon found Xun Yu.

Just as Liu Zhaoqing said, Xun Yu was counting food and weapons in the tent where the food and weapons were stored.

This should have been something that a minor official could accomplish, but Xun Yu still insisted on looking at it herself because she knew that these were extremely important things to her troops and could even directly determine the success or failure of the war.

When Xun Yu saw Zhang Liao coming in, he was puzzled at first, and then waited until Zhang Liao slowly told him the reason why he came here.

Xun Yu burst out laughing.

"Miss Xun, why are you laughing..." Zhang Liao asked helplessly.

"Wenyuan, don't mind it. I just think you and Zhaoqing are becoming more and more similar."

"This 'method' has actually been in your mind for a long time."

"In my heart?" Zhang Liao didn't quite understand.

Xun Yu turned his head and looked at the weapons in the distance. He nodded to Zhou Cang who was counting them, asking him to continue: "Wenyuan, do you still remember when you followed Zhao Qing?"

"Of course I remember."

"Do you remember why you followed him?"

"I remember." Zhang Liao nodded. "At that time, I was a minor official. I was not very strong on the battlefield. I was saved by my benefactor. I had not made any breakthroughs in martial arts, but my benefactor did not despise me for this. Instead, he was quite polite..."

"Moreover, when my benefactor killed the dragon that day, I felt that he was indeed a true hero..."

Although that day was not far away, Zhang Liao could not help but marvel at Liu Zhaoqing's bravery and heroism whenever he thought of it.

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, she found that Xun Yu was looking at her with a smile.

After being confused for a moment, Zhang Liao immediately understood what Miss Xun meant.

Isn’t this what the so-called “method” is?

Zhang Liao herself understood what was the most touching and anticipated thing about Liu Zhaoqing, because she had experienced it herself.

"And Wenyuan may not know that although Gao Shun has a cold face, compared to the impression Wenyuan gives to others, I think Gao Shun is better." Xun Yu said.

"Ah? Am I cold?" Zhang Liao seemed a little unaware.

"If you don't believe it, you might as well ask Zhou Cang and the Yellow Turbans around him." Xun Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Cang looked at Zhang Liao and then laughed: "Well, not really, just a little bit colder than Sister Yunchang."

"..."

-

Inside the tent, Liu Zhaoqing had a golden book in his hand.

There was a hazy golden light surrounding his hands.

This is why he did not go with Zhang Liao to find Xun Yu.

Because Yinglong in the body finally woke up at this moment.

Chapter 268 Yinglong solves doubts, Wenyuan's violent remarks4.1K

Inside the tent, Liu Zhaoqing's face showed surprise and joy.

After all, Yinglong has not made any movement since the Battle of Mobei. Even when it encountered Lu Bu while rescuing Cao Cao, it did not react at all.

If Liu Zhaoqing had not been able to sense Yinglong's existence through the connection between man and book, he would have really thought that it was coming to an end.

But just now, Liu Zhaoqing felt Yinglong's breath.

"you're awake?"

This sentence is like greeting a friend who has been sleeping for a long time.

"Why are you not in the north?" This was the first question the other party asked when he woke up.

"Something happened." After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he suddenly realized that Yinglong's response and current state were the most energetic he had ever seen.

This can even be directly fed back into Liu Zhaoqing's own body. He can also clearly feel that the true dragon power in his body is much greater than before.

"Have you recovered a lot after getting enough sleep?" Liu Zhaoqing asked curiously.

“If sleep could be restored to its current state, you and I wouldn’t have reached this point, and I wouldn’t have to live in your body at all.” Yinglong replied.

Liu Zhaoqing thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.

If Yinglong could recover by sleeping, he would not have been on the verge of death during the time he was at the bottom of the Yellow River, and he would not have to expend extra energy to help him so often during the time he was living in his body.

"What's going on?" Liu Zhaoqing wondered.

Faced with the curiosity of mortals, Yinglong didn't want to answer, but for some reason, he still replied with a sentence.

"You get the gift from God, and I will restore my original nature, that's all."

"What the hell? God...?"

"It is the origin of divine beasts, divine tools and other divine objects." Yinglong answered, and simply answered the rest: "All of them are divine objects that gather the spirits of heaven and earth."

"Its origin is naturally the purest essence of heaven and earth. That thing is colorless and invisible, but I can sense it because I am a living being that feeds on the essence of heaven and earth."

To put it simply, after Yinglong obtained the power bestowed by divine artifacts and divine objects because of Liu Zhaoqing, Yinglong living in his body also benefited greatly and obtained a rare source that could repair its own injuries.

Only divine objects have that "origin", and obviously not all divine objects have that.

"Is it the Chixiao fragment from before?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

Chixiao is the sword of the dragon that founded the Han Dynasty. The aura of a true dragon on it is so pure that it can cause changes in heaven and earth.

"It's only a part of it." Yinglong replied, "The larger part was obtained by you in the great war in the north."

"The Great Northern War? You mean the Battle of Mobei?" Liu Zhaoqing frowned. "But, I didn't get any artifact trophies in the Battle of Mobei. The Scarlet Sky Fragment is one, but you said it's only a part."

It can't be the sword that Tan Shihuai had obtained before, which is now an evil object in Lu Hong's hands, right?

"Have you forgotten what the biggest 'divine object' you got in that battle was?" Yinglong asked back.

Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

"Could it be... Peng bird?"

"Yeah." The other party confirmed Liu Zhaoqing's guess.

When Liu Zhaoqing was surprised, Yinglong explained his situation in a few words.

The reason it woke up quickly was not simply because it had rested enough, but because it had "digested" the origin of the divine object it received from Liu Zhaoqing.

The source is right in the consciousness of the Peng bird.

"I have been recovering since you connected with Peng." Yinglong said, "Later, after you came out, I think you can feel it yourself. Not only has your body undergone significant changes, but even your human book has evolved."
