Chapter 653 It’s Time to Get Down to Business
Zhu Que never thought that she would share a husband with other women one day, let alone compete on the same stage. If someone had said such words to her a few years ago, she might have torn them in half.
But if she had to choose one, she might only accept Sanniang.
Because since Chi Chi's mother passed away, Sanniang has been Zhu Que's best and only friend.
When Zhu Que debuted, she was just an underage girl. At that time, Sanniang was knowledgeable, skilled in martial arts, and bold and bandit-like. She was also a girl with a story. She was indifferent to everything and was too lazy to argue, which was very much in line with Zhu Que's appetite.
At that time, the previous generation of the Four Symbols Sect was very useless. The main reason was that the sect members were basically a garbage shelter where the remnants of the overthrown dynasty of the previous generation gathered. Imagine the level of the Southern Ming Dynasty to know what the previous generation of the Four Symbols Sect was. Including Chi Chi's mother, a princess of the previous dynasty, her ability and IQ can only be considered above average, which is already the backbone of the Four Symbols Sect.
Zhu Que is the most special. Huangfu Yongxian was an old general of the previous dynasty, but his family of generals who had been stationed at the border for generations was very different from those people. At that time, he had surrendered to Daxia and had no involvement with others, let alone agreeing with the teachings of the Four Symbols Sect. However, after a few years, he finally felt that Xia Longyuan was not a good person, so he turned a blind eye and watched his young daughter being "tricked into joining the sect", pretending not to know, as a way out.
It is conceivable that the addition of Huangfu Qing, a general's daughter, was a family education and talent that stood out from the crowd in the Four Symbols Sect, and soon added all kinds of burdens. When the previous generation, who were weak and exhausted, gradually died in the struggles of the rivers and lakes or the purges of the court, and the White Tiger Saint who was originally placed with high hopes died in Luojiazhuang, the burden on Zhuque's shoulders at a young age became heavier and heavier, and he was under great pressure for a while.
The joining of Sanniang gave Zhuque a shot of adrenaline. One was aggressive, the other was defensive, one was engaged in war, and the other was in internal affairs. Both of them had no selfishness, which could be called a perfect match, and two stars shining. The Four Symbols Sect has fought through difficulties for more than ten years and has risen to become the top demon sect in the world. This is not the credit of Zhuque alone. Sanniang seems to have no great contribution in it, but her value is immeasurable.
She is said to be showing off, but most of the time she is not really showing off. She just doesn't like to get involved in power disputes and does her own thing. She can make money as well as ten Zhuque. What's more, Sanniang's martial arts are not obvious, but she is higher than Zhuque. Once she gets serious, every time she is earth-shattering and shocking, the enemies are terrified. I don't know how many crises she has saved the sect from.
Over the years, from a young girl to a thirty-year-old woman, whenever Zhuque is alone and has doubts, the first person who flashes in her mind must be Sanniang, who can be said to be the most relied-on golden beam in her heart. The word "stable" is the most appropriate to describe the Xuanwu in Zhuque's heart.
God knows that this bridge has become like this day by day... When Zhuque beat Sanniang in the morning, he was really gnashing his teeth. He didn't know whether he was more angry because she cooperated with the man to subdue him, or because she stole the man.
Now, everyone shares a husband. Zhuque found that he was more emotionally accepting of this result than expected. It was much more reasonable than being with Chichi, and more acceptable than being with Tang Wanzhuang... At the same time, he also understood where Sanniang's fun was.
It was really interesting to see Sanniang, who usually smiled and didn't care about anything, moaning softly because of a man...
Zhuque couldn't help but reach out and touch Sanniang's trembling place.
He knew that this might trigger bad consequences... but he couldn't help it. Sure enough, the man mistakenly thought that he was sending a signal, and the next moment Zhuque and Xuanwu were stacked together.
The good sisters who had supported each other for more than ten years faced each other up and down, biting their lower lips and turning their heads away at the same time.

"Venerables, are you well?" After an unknown amount of time, Xia Chichi walked up to the platform slowly with his hands behind his back.
That posture still retained a template of a center of gravity backwards ready to run at any time. Obviously, Xia Chichi was the one who was most unwilling to be with the master.
That was not only the master, but also the queen mother... The master had not been worshipped openly, but he had the essence; the queen mother was not real, but she had the name. No matter how evil the little demon girl was, she was still a little cautious under the superposition of these two attributes, and this stinky master was still a cheating man.
The pleasure of serving tea was over, but the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
Fortunately, the battle at this moment had already ended, and the indescribable verbal service of the left and right venerables had also ended. Zhao Changhe was talking to the two venerables about serious matters. When they saw Xia Chichi coming over, the three of them said without blushing or beating their hearts, "Has Chichi finished the ceremony?"
Xia Chichi retreated half a step and took a defensive posture vigilantly.
"Hey, what's that expression..." Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "We are all dressed in formal clothes..."
"It's not easy to take it off? You are so skilled."
"...I'm not an iron bull."
Xia Chichi had a blank expression: "Really? Then I want to tell you a shocking news-I not only finished the Four Elephants Ceremony, but also finished the morning court."
"..."The three looked at each other and almost buried their heads in their chests.
Zhao Changhe decisively stopped arguing and got to the point directly: "We are discussing that Qing'er wants to break the imperial realm. It is still a little bit short of relying on this kind of cross-mountain attack. It is best to go to the extreme south to see it in person. But now the big things are just beginning, and there are a lot of things. We are considering whether Qing'er can leave... The deterrence brought by an imperial realm is not comparable to now. It is worth delaying some things for this. You can weigh which ones are important..."
Xia Chichi said: "No."
Suzaku asked curiously: "Why? In the early stage, I have finished the control of the inner palace and the reform of academic affairs. Now I feel that there is not much that needs to be done by me. Compared to other things, breaking the imperial guard is more important, right?"
"Because it is Chang He and his uncle who need to leave." Xia Chichi sighed: "In the past few days, Chang He has been forging swords and controlling the secret realm of the Ancestral Temple. These are all important things. To put it harshly, even if it depends on you Longque came to stabilize our relationship with Tang Wanzhuang. This was a huge contribution. It was regarded as the most important thing, not just playing. So Tang Qing and I...oh, Tang Wanzhuang, we didn't bother. Still happy to see it come to fruition.”
Zhao Changhe: "..."
Zhuque blinked his eyes. Listening to this, why do you and Tang Wanzhuang belong to the same country now?
Well, for an emperor... indeed.
All I can say is that people's butts change so quickly... Suzaku has no doubt that it is not unusual for the emperor to deal with the "Four Elephant Ministers" one day in the future... But it is unlikely that this situation will evolve like this for everyone, because In essence, the person with the highest authority is Zhao Changhe, both within Sixiang and Tang Wanzhuang.
Xia Chichi didn't know what was going on in his master's mind, but he still introduced the situation: "In fact, we are in a precarious situation outside, and the situation of the barbarians in the north has always been the biggest haze in my mind and that of Tang Wanzhuang. Master has been in Huangshaji for a long time, and he is very concerned about the situation. There are many things happening outside the Great Wall, and I still hope to take charge of it. "
Sanniang: "Uh...don't I rely on Batu and Uncle Huangfu for this? How can I help?"
"General Huangfu is uneasy behind his back. Two days before Jinzhong, troops actually came to the capital, but Shao Zong fought them back. The current situation is worse than when Shanxi merchants sold grain and grass privately. And looking further west, Li Gongsi died here , what is the reaction of the Li family? Can the Hu people make a detour after plundering through the pass? Not only do these things require news from Mobei in Huangshaji, I also hope that my uncle can contact Ying Wu, who is in the northwest. Have a foundation.”
Sanniang was silent.
Xia Chichi sighed and said: "There are two things that can make you feel at ease. One is that Bo's forehead was injured and the relationship with Timur was instigated by the Book of Troubled Times. They are not very peaceful. The other is that it is snowing heavily in winter and it is not suitable to mobilize troops. But this cannot be regarded as a direct conclusion, and we need to beware of surprise soldiers... There has been no movement in the past few days, which may not mean that there is really no movement. It may be that the intelligence is lagging. After all, we have watched the commotion for so long, but in fact it was not long and we did not have time. It’s normal to receive information... The worst-case scenario is that they have already moved, maybe Batu’s head is gone.”
Zhao Changhe: "..."
"In addition, not to mention that General Huangfu is uneasy after his death, so are we. The Cui family in the south is uncomfortably silent and has not even been on the watch. What should we do after the Wang family is defeated back to Langya? Further south... …”
"Stop, stop, stop..." Zhao Changhe pinched his head: "I know, I really should go to the Cui family."
Xia Chichi said: "If Master Uncle and Chang He have left, then only Tang Wanzhuang is left as the strong man in charge of the capital, which is not enough. On the one hand, people like Lu Jianzhang are not completely reliable, and on the other hand, Chang He has been The unknown gods and demons shot back by the arrows may come back. The Venerable Suzaku is famous for his reputation, and he is our Dinghai Divine Needle at this time. If he feels free, what he should do is to investigate who the gods and demons are. What is its nature and where is it hiding?”
The three of them looked at Xia Chichi up and down with their hands folded. It was hard to imagine that this was a clear-headed being who was robbed of a man by his master and still laughed and was punished. But at this moment, the three of them suddenly remembered Xia Chichi's words before he decided to take over Jiangshan.
——Not only do I have to do it, I also have to pay off his debt.
She may really be the most suitable person for this position, a hundred times more suitable than Zhao Changhe himself.
But what Zhao Changhe was thinking about at the moment was the dragon chair when he drew the card. It was a position card, which meant that the starting position of the time travel was related to the throne. I originally thought it was because Chi Chi was of Xia Longyuan's bloodline, and many things after his debut revolved around this position, but now I discovered that this card seemed to refer to Xia Chi Chi himself.
If so, can the blind man who sent himself to Chi Chi really see the future?
Xia Chichi was saying: "If you want to go out, you should go find Tang Wanzhuang before leaving. She is not your target, but the Great Wall of this empire."
