The Book of Troubled Times

"Why do you want Brother Zhao to watch Ye Jiuyou take a bath? I don't want it!" In the misty sea of ​​consciousness, Cui Yuanyang, who had woken up, was rolling: "You are cuckolding me, and you are cheating me with your body!"

Piaomiao reassured: "That was originally the side room of your house, sooner or later."

Cui Yuanyang: "?"

How could it be possible sooner or later? Didn’t we deliberately tell Ying Ye Jiuyou about the so-called side room? Who would recognize the two parties involved? How could Ye Jiuyou be bound by a false identity as a Miss Li family?

Don't bully me. Yangyang doesn't understand. The cooperation between the two seems to be sincere, but in fact both parties have evil intentions. Zhao Changhe would never accept an evil god who represented chaos and destruction as a partner, let alone a wife; Ye Jiuyou would never let a man who touched her continue to live in the world. The current cooperation is just that everyone feels that they can't defeat Ye Wuming and need to pull allies... Maybe there will be a huge fight over some other things in the future.

Piaomiao said: "You don't know, even if you use a false identity, the cause and effect of the birth of the false identity will be fed back to you. You must try to cut it off. If you don't cut it off, there will be consequences. You see, Zhao Changhe has delved deeper into the cause and effect. Or Ye Jiuyou? Ye Jiuyou will definitely cause problems because of this fake identity that he thinks he can't restrain."

"That makes sense...oh, that's not right..." Cui Yuanyang asked curiously, "Why are you helping Brother Zhao?"

But Ye Jiuyou hasn't fallen in love with me yet, why don't you fall in love with me first?

"What's weird about me helping him?" Piaomiao said lightly: "I have the responsibility to help the big man today to unify the country, but Guan Long was originally vulnerable. It was entirely because of Ye Jiuyou's backing that the big man couldn't fight. . Helping Zhao Changhe conquer Ye Jiuyou seems to be a convenient way..."

Cui Yuanyang was in a daze: "If your goal is to unify the mountains and rivers, why didn't you help Ye Jiuyou to destroy the Han Dynasty?"

Piaomiao was a little speechless: "I represent the Mountains and Rivers Qimai. I don't just find some random forces to support and unify them and call them Mountains and Rivers Qimai. Even a three-year-old knows that today's big man is the one destined by destiny, and that is what I support."

Cui Yuanyang suddenly realized: "Our country's sacrifice to heaven is actually a sacrifice to you."

"You finally understand what I mean... From some angles, Zhao Changhe marrying you to settle Hebei was the key to the Han Dynasty breaking through, and the key to the mountains and rivers beginning to return to him. From that moment on, the divided country Moving towards unification with an eye-popping efficiency.”

"...So by marrying me, I actually get you. After all, I am you. The cause and effect lies here."

Piaomiao shut up.

If you understand it this way... yes and no. At present, we are still two people after all, but the cause and effect can indeed be confirmed from here.

The cause and effect caused by the false identity will inevitably contaminate oneself, let alone us.

Piao Miao had a headache. He looked up at Ye Jiuyou and Zhao Changhe. They were glaring at each other and didn't continue at all.

Ye Jiuyou refused to let Zhao Changhe watch the bath anymore. After today's insights, Zhao Changhe no longer needed to continue pondering over the Book of Heaven. The two looked at each other for a while, and Zhao Changhe said expressionlessly: "Give me more I will consolidate my gains in two days and then go find Bo Xun."

"Can."

"By the way, if nothing else happens, my wives should be coming to Kunlun at this time, and their main target is White Tiger. If I am inseparable from Bo Xun by then, can you help take care of me?"

Ye Jiuyou said lightly: "You are overthinking. The reason why I did not take the opportunity to kill Suzaku Xuanwu and the others was because of our cooperation. Life or death depends on themselves and has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Changhe said: "What you said... is a misty witness."

Piaomiao said "hmm".

"You..." Ye Jiuyou said angrily, "You don't believe me."

Zhao Changhe smiled: "Trust. It's just a matter of wives. We need a more reassuring answer."

Believe what you should believe, some things should not be taken lightly. Taking care of him was a test, and he only needed the result of Ye Jiuyou not interfering. As long as Ye Jiuyou didn't act recklessly, Zhao Changhe was still very confident that his wives could deal with Bai Hu.

Ye Jiuyou definitely has no good intentions towards the Four Symbols, especially Suzaku. There are conflicts between the two on the road of life and death. It is hard to say whether Ye Jiuyou will take the opportunity to do something... Anyway, this is the Han Emperor's personal expedition. Piaomiao will definitely not sit idly by and Xinye Jiuyou's promise is not as good as Xinpiaomiao's.

Seeing Ye Jiuyou's angry expression, Zhao Changhe felt a little strange in his heart. Isn't it normal for you and me to be wary of each other? What are you angry about?

After thinking about it, he slowed down and explained: "Today's Sixiang is different from ancient times. They don't listen to Ye Wuming, they only listen to me... The hostility between you and Ye Wuming, and therefore the hostility between you and Sixiang, is not necessary. It extends to them. On the contrary, they are the help to deal with Ye Wuming."

Ye Jiuyou sneered: "Why do you have so much confidence because of so-called love?"

Zhao Changhe said: "That's right. That's why."

"I've seen two eras, and this kind of thing is the most unreliable." Ye Jiuyou said coldly: "I'm wondering if Ye Wuming abandoned you in advance because he felt that you were too naive in this regard and not a successful person. "

Zhao Changhe smiled and did not argue.

Ye Jiuyou felt unhappy when he saw his smile: "One day, you will regret it."

…………

Zhao Changhe didn't know whether he would regret it or not, and he didn't even bother to think about it.

He just continued to settle and digest his insights into time and cause and effect. Throughout the whole day, Heye Jiuyou and Piao Miao never exchanged a word.

The two of them were also practicing their own things and ignored him. In addition to Piaomiao, Ye Jiuyou herself has not fully recovered to her peak state and needs to continue to recuperate. Part of the blame is still on Zhao Changhe, who ruined her affairs a lot.

Until late at night, Zhao Changhe opened his eyes from his trance, looked at the misty clouds and mists standing quietly on the top of the mountain not far away, and sighed.

The relationship with Piaomiao is more tiring than that with Ye Jiuyou, because no matter how similar Ye Jiuyou and the blind man are, they are not exactly the same, they can still be distinguished as different people, while Piaomiao completely bears the body of Cui Yuanyang. God knows how difficult it is to resist the desire to hold her, and to adopt a very calm tone when talking to people who are not familiar with him.

Originally, in the dead of night, it was a time to hold my wife tenderly, but now I can only watch from a close distance and can do nothing.

After staring for such a long time, Piaomiao naturally felt something. Even with his back turned, he could detect the tenderness in his eyes. It seemed that there were thousands of words he wanted to talk about, but there was a gap across the gap.

Piaomiao's peaceful mind, which was practicing meditation, could no longer calm down and became a mess.

She knew clearly that the person he was looking at was not her, but Yangyang... but this look was really uncomfortable.

Have you seen enough? How much longer do you want to see?

After an unknown amount of time, the sky gradually became brighter. Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky and estimated that it was almost six o'clock. It was still a long time before the so-called seven o'clock in the morning.

No matter, just wait until Chenshi.

Piaomiao: "..."

He actually looked at it steadily until he saw Chenshi.

It was all about pinching, and when it was almost time, Zhao Changhe's footsteps could be heard behind him, and he couldn't wait to get behind him.

Piaomiao sighed helplessly: "You guys talk."

Just as he was about to give his body back to Cui Yuanyang, he found that Cui Yuanyang was sleeping and couldn't get out.

Before he could wake up, Zhao Changhe had already stretched out his arms and hugged him: "Yangyang..."

He was too impatient.

Piaomiao: "?"

Wait, wait a minute...

Feeling the other party's struggle, Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "What's wrong, Yangyang? Piaomiao said that we should talk, so it shouldn't still be Piaomiao, right?"

But he couldn't let him know that he was holding Piaomiao... Piaomiao held it back for a moment, and could only imitate Cui Yuanyang's tone and said: "No, Brother Zhao, I just woke up and didn't react at first. I thought I was being frivolous by someone."

Zhao Changhe breathed a sigh of relief: "Who else is there on Jiuyou's territory?"

Piaomiao said: "That's not necessarily true. She has a lot of power hidden in the abyss, which she didn't show to us."

"Then I won't run out to hug you." Zhao Changhe smiled and kissed the side of her neck: "How dare you, let's see if I don't chop them to death."

Piaomiao had goosebumps all over her body, but she still struggled instinctively: "Stop kissing...Piaomiao is here."

Ye Jiuyou looked over from a distance, his expression was extremely strange.

Piaomiao is here...

Zhao Changhe was saying: "She won't fall asleep this time? What kind of big lantern will she make?"

Piaomiao felt angry: "She said it was useless even if she slept, but she still felt everything when she got up. She was deceiving herself."

"That's true." Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "Then we can't really be intimate because of her, right? Even if we don't do that, can't we just kiss and hug? What have we done wrong to be so close to each other? ah……"

Piaomiao searched Guchang for a reason: "Brother Zhao~ Do you just want to do these things with me, can't you talk about other things?"

Ye Jiu was happy.

Zhao Changhe was also happy. Aren't you the one who said you didn't want face and just wanted to be intimate? A woman's mouth changes at will. It's because she was fed too much last night, right?

"I always feel that when you say these things, you are just jealous of your father."

Piaomiao took the opportunity to ask: "How is dad?"

"I gave him some tips to break through the imperial realm. It depends on luck. Others can't help with breaking the imperial realm. If you can break it yourself, you can break it. If you are stuck, you will be stuck. Maybe you will be stuck for a lifetime. To be honest, I have never thought about it before. , your father actually doesn’t have much interest in martial arts... Anyway, if it doesn’t work out, just let him return to the court, he said he prefers these."

"The reason why he doesn't come back now is not entirely because he cooperates with you in suppressing the family's concession of power, but more importantly because he doesn't want to kowtow to Xia Chichi. He wants to lose face. He is his daughter's love rival. How can he kneel down?" Piao Miao was very embarrassed. Fortunately, I have shared many of Cui Yuanyang's memories for such a long time, and most of them are clear.

Zhao Changhe: "...I forgot that there is still this level. Then let him enter the court without being praised or worshiped, and he can go to the palace and be given a seat."

"Xia Chichi, don't you have any objection?"

"How can Chichi refute my face? Besides, Chichi also knows the value of your father... Hey, I suddenly remembered something."

"What?"

"Now Wan Zhuang no longer cares about the Demon Suppressing Division and has handed it over to Qin Dingjiang. I think Qin Dingjiang is loyal, but his ability is average. He is more than capable of being a general but not handsome enough... including other talents in the Demon Suppressing Division. The same is true for reserves. Wu Weiyang and others are like this. I feel that because in the past, evening makeup was too hands-on, and the people under my command lacked the ability to take charge of their own affairs. They thought of asking for instructions and reporting everything. No one above them set the tone for them. They're like headless chickens."

"What do you mean by this..."

"A long time ago, you didn't want to enter the Demon-Suppressing Division, but you also went to arrest me, a wanted criminal. I think after you go back, can you go to the Demon-Suppressing Division to sharpen your skills, and let you take charge of it when the time comes? "

Piaomiao couldn't help but laugh: "They can't do it, hey... can I be handsome?"

"You have a strong family background, but you have never been able to perform properly on the stage. In fact, you have quite a lot of experience. In the Battle of Puyang, the Battle of Langya, and the Battle of Hangu, you led a direct team, didn't you? Although that’s just for the future... let’s try it later and give it a chance to practice on my own, maybe it can work? If it doesn’t work, let’s talk about it.”

Piaomiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's try it later."

Zhao Changhe thought her reaction was weird. It stands to reason that Yangyang would be so happy that he would jump up to three feet high, because this is indeed what she likes and she has wanted to do it since so early... And doing the work of the Demon Suppressing Division is not a bad thing. Why did she react so coldly to the beginning of her relationship with him?

"Why, is it because you are no longer as interested in the Demon Suppression Division as before?"

Piaomiao also realized that her reaction was wrong, and said hurriedly: "No, just, Xia Chichi is the emperor, and I have become her subordinate... Of course there is nothing to be excited about."

"Hey, what is this? This is to be responsible for the country. If you are not suitable, I will definitely not force you to do it, so you have to try it first. By the way, now that I am talking about being responsible for the country, it is actually okay. It’s considered responsible for Piao Miao.”

Piaomiao hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Are you...responsible for Piaomiao?"

"Yeah. It's just that it's hard to say whether the nameless night she is filled with now can still represent what it once represented... The most heroic moment for Piaomiao in my heart is the moment when she forged four swords to guard the mountains and rivers. With one cross-border strike, he kills the devil instantly and protects the human world. He is so handsome. I think she has never been able to return to her peak state. It may not necessarily be related to the disunity of the soul, but more likely because she has now deviated from the ideal of the mountains and rivers. , how can she have the power of the past? Even if we want to be responsible for her, can she deserve it? "

Piao Miao remained silent.

"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. We only have an hour." Zhao Changhe said, and the hands around his waist began to move upwards: "My Yangyang's face has gone back to tenderness, and other parts have not shrunk. ,very nice……"

The misty and distant spirit has been tightly controlled by one hand. Everyone was confused for a moment, not knowing how to deal with it... struggling violently, the secret would definitely be exposed, and let him rub it without struggling? How can that work!

Ye Jiuyou almost stopped laughing.

Deep in the sea of ​​consciousness, Cui Yuanyang, who had just woken up, stared dumbfoundedly at her husband holding Piaomiao and playing with him, his expression even more confused than Piaomiao's.

What are you... doing?

Piaomiao soon discovered that Cui Yuanyang was awake. She pushed Cui Yuanyang up with shame and anger and took control of her body. She quickly retracted into the depths of the sea of ​​​​consciousness and shut herself off.

Cui Yuanyang didn't understand what happened. Anyway, he was in control of his body now. It felt so comfortable to be held by his husband. Why did he think too much?

So Zhao Changhe found that his wife in his arms began to take the initiative: "Brother Zhao, kiss me."

"You know, the little goblin was pretending just now that you can feel it after just two pinches, right?" Zhao Changhe took Cui Yuanyang's shoulder obediently, lowered his head and nibbled on it.

...The little goblin was pretending just now?

Cui Yuanyang blinked her eyes and started to catch the adulterer: "Sister, you can say it if you like, is it because you are afraid that I will be jealous? Actually, it doesn't matter... If you dislike my sister and it's an eyesore, just leave..."

Piaomiao fully felt the feeling of being kissed, and when asked this question again, she was so angry that she couldn't answer a word.

Cui Yuanyang started acting like a monster again: "Brother Zhao..."

Zhao Changhe left his lips, held her face and rubbed it: "What's wrong?"

Cui Yuanyang was rubbed so hard that her voice was slurred: "Do you like Sister Piaomiao?"

"Ah?" Zhao Changhe was confused: "I haven't even spoken to her a few words, how can I like her or not?"

Cui Yuanyang said: "I think you are very good to her..."

"She is a good person... The main reason is that she is good to you, so naturally I will not be any worse towards her."

"Have you seen what she looked like back then?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Well, it's quite similar to what you look like now, but it's not exactly the same... You still inherit some parts from your parents."

"Then...is Sister Piaomiao pretty?"

"Of course, she is a deity who belongs to the mountains and rivers. She is beautiful and beautiful in the world. There is no way she is not beautiful." Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "No, there is no point in asking this. Whether you are beautiful or not has nothing to do with you. I’m really not familiar with her.”

Cui Yuanyang sighed: "Brother Zhao, you have become bad... You have seen everything in your body. Don't you have any idea of ​​taking responsibility?"

Piaomiao jumped up from the sea of ​​consciousness: "When did he look at me? It doesn't count you. My body was not like this back then..."

Cui Yuanyangli ignored her and continued: "I was also present during the flashback in Qinghe Sword... We have all seen Sister Piaomiao taking a bath. Do I remember it? Does Brother Zhao want to pretend that it didn't happen?"

Piaomiao: "???"

Ye Jiuyou's eyes became bright.

Zhao Changhe's mouth was half open, his face expressionless.

Damn rabbit, are you stupid? Why do you want to expose this matter? I have never seen a man give his husband a girl. Is this the legendary self-love?

The air was quiet for a while, and then Zhao Changhe changed the topic awkwardly: "Miss Ye, I think I can leave. Where is Bo Xun..."

The topic was changed so awkwardly that Ye Jiuyou didn't want to talk to him at all.

But Ye Jiuyou blinked for a long time and replied: "Yes. But I suggest Piaomiao go with you."

Zhao Changhe had a headache: "Why do you want to go with me? You clearly wanted me to go alone before, so what's the fuss about?"

"When I asked you to go alone, you hadn't communicated with Piaomiao. Later, didn't you say that Bo Xun might be helpful in dividing Piaomiao? I think it makes sense. But the so-called help may not be a treasure, and I'm not sure what form it takes. , If you can’t bring it back, wouldn’t you miss it if you don’t go with it?”

"Although what you said seems to make sense...I don't think you necessarily have this idea."

"Of course." Ye Jiuyou sneered: "I want to know, do you want to complete the goal of separating Piao Miao and Cui Yuanyang, or do you want her to supervise me here not to deal with your wives. This will give you a headache. , it’s the price you pay for not trusting me.”
