Shen Wanjin changed his clothes and even modified his appearance to avoid being discovered and recognized.
But a person's appearance is easy to change, but his temperament is difficult to change.
As the former king of assassins, Shen Wanjin's aura was very different from ordinary people.
The caravan members traveled through the desert and saw many people. They were also sharp-eyed people, so it was easy to see the difference between Shen Wanjin.
The people from the caravan asked Shen Wanjin which caravan he belonged to. Shen Wanjin looked ashamed and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm a sidekick."
The so-called sidekick means that he does not belong to any caravan and does business alone.
This kind of person will choose a caravan and then follow the caravan through the desert, while giving a certain amount of money as a hitchhiking fee.
"Oh... you're traveling with me. Which caravan are you traveling with?"
The master asked, he was familiar with the caravans taking this route.
Shen Wanjin had already thought of this problem. When he followed the caravan through the desert, he encountered a caravan returning.
Based on a slight estimate of time, this caravan may be on the road again.
"Bull-headed caravan."
Shen Wanjin didn't say much, only the name of the caravan.
The master nodded slightly and said: "You big-headed man, you left a few days earlier than us. You have been lost in the desert for so long, and you can still persist."
Shen Wanjin stretched out his chapped and shrunken hands and said, "If you were one step too late, I would have died of thirst."
Seeing the dehydrated and shrunken hands, the master immediately took out his water bag, thanked Shen Wanjin, and then drank a bottle in one breath.
The caravan continued to go west, and Shen Wanjin followed.
"What do you call me brother?"
The head of the house asked.
Shen Wanjin immediately said: "The surname is Shen."
The head of the house smiled and said: "My name is He Wei, they all call me Boss He, Brother Shen doesn't look like a businessman."
Shen Wanjin looked miserable and said, "Brother He saved my life. I won't hide it. I was originally an official of Xixia. Xixia was destroyed. I want to make some money for my family."
Many people in the caravan were from Xixia, and they all sighed after hearing this.
"Hey, a good Xixia was ruined by them."
He Wei sighed helplessly, and the man in the caravan cursed: "They are all old sluts in Kongji. They took refuge in the monastery and begged for children every year. In the end, they turned out to be a group of slutty monks."
They didn't scold Long Chen, they all scolded Monk Kongji.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor, we do our own business."
He Wei didn't want to talk anymore and continued westward with the camel team. Shen Wanjin followed the camel team heading west.
...
Dazhou, the capital.
The secret room of Fengming Palace.
After Long Chen and the Empress went into seclusion, they devoted themselves to practicing the Ghost Shadow Art.
The Ghost Shadow Technique is a technique that induces coldness in the extreme Yin. Five people practiced it at the same time, and a thick layer of ice formed on the wall of the secret room.
The hair of the five people was also covered with white frost.
Because the technique was cold, the empress's restless blood was suppressed, and nothing embarrassing happened.
Before going into seclusion, Long Chen had always been worried that the empress would not be able to bear it and do something outrageous.
In front of Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi, Long Chen couldn't explain what he had with the empress.
Long Chen slowly opened his eyes, and the inner strength training of the Ghost Shadow Technique had been completed.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi are still training hard. They have good blood but the worst qualifications.
The Empress seemed to be faster, Master Ziyun was slightly slower than the Empress.
Long Chen stood up slowly. He couldn't tell the difference between day and night in the secret room, and he didn't know how much time had passed.
Yingfeng didn't knock on the door, which meant that everything was normal and nothing unexpected happened.
The Ghost Shadow Technique and the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Technique fit very well. If the Ghost Shadow Technique and the Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix Technique were fused, Long Chen felt that he could temporarily create eight clones.
The current shadow from the Hundred Birds Chao Feng Jue is imaginary. After merging with the Ghost Shadow Jue, it may be able to become a real entity.
Of course, this entity is not real, but condensed with true energy.
This kind of skill will consume a lot of skill in an instant, but adding eight helpers in an instant is worth the energy consumption.
The Ghost Shadow Technique is placed in White Bone Mountain, but the ghost fetus has not been practiced. It is really a waste.
When Mie Nanliang faced off, Gui Tai only used Gui Mo and did not use ghost shadow clones, indicating that he had not practiced.
Thinking about it, it doesn't matter whether you practice or not to deal with a group of martial emperors if you already have true cultivation.
After moving his legs and feet, Long Chen continued to sit down and practice, thinking about the subsequent combat strategy.
...
Prince Wu's Mansion.
Zhang Qian and the other six gathered in the secret room to practice, and a thick layer of frost formed around the secret room.
The six people have different qualifications. Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, and Wu Chuchu are the fastest in cultivation. They can clearly feel that their cultivation is improving.
Wu Xiangyun, Bai Tingting, and Zhao Ying have poor qualifications, so their cultivation is very slow.
Especially Zhao Ying, Bai Tingting used to be the slowest, but now she is the slowest.
Su Yourong carried a food box to the secret room and couldn't help but tremble. ⑧①ZW.????m
"So cold?"
Su Yourong looked up at the gloomy sky. It looked like it was going to rain.
It's time to cool down with an autumn rain and a cool breeze, but this yard is too cold.
Walking to the door, Su Yourong saw frost on the door.
"why is it like this?"
Su Yourong gently knocked on the stone door. She was worried that Zhang Qian and the others had something wrong with their cultivation.
Before Long Chen left, he told Su Yourong to keep an eye on him.
If something goes wrong, Long Chen won't be able to explain it when he comes back.
The stone door slowly opened, the frost on it fell down, and Zhang Qian walked out.
"aunt."
Su Yourong asked worriedly: "Sissi, are you okay?"
Zhang Qian glanced at the frost on the door and said with a smile: "It's okay. The technique we practice is cold, so the door is covered with ice."
Su Yourong felt relieved and said, "That's good. This is the soup I made. If you don't like eating, just drink some soup."
After returning from Nanliang, Zhang Qian and the others only ate dried meat and had no appetite for ordinary meals.
Su Yourong heard that it was because of changes in his physique.
Zhang Qian took the soup and said, "Thank you very much, aunt."
Su Yourong smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me? I can't cultivate well, so I can only rely on you."
The ghost tribe and the human tribe were going to war, and Su Yourong knew about it.
She is not a military commander, so she can't help. She can only do logistics.
Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Then I'll go in."
Su Yourong watched the stone door close before turning back to the backyard.
...
Jinling.
The carriage of Baili Bing, the official's minister, slowly stopped in front of Hu Feiyang's house.
Hu Feiyang's house is very big, and the words "Hu Mansion" were originally hung on the door.
Now it is changed to Hu Zhai.
Royal palaces, government offices, and private residences.
This is a fixed title.
In the past, Hu Feiyang was one of the Five Tiger Generals, so he was called Hu Mansion.
Now that Nanliang has been destroyed, Hu Feiyang is just an ordinary person, so the door plaque of the house has been changed to Hu House.
Li Xiannan got off the horse, opened the curtain, and Baili Bing slowly got off.
"Master Shangshu, is it necessary? This is our fifth time here."
Li Xiannan was very unhappy. He invited Hu Feiyang four times, but he couldn't see anyone every time.
Baili Bing smiled and said: "General Li is a little patient. This is how you seek talents. If Hu Feiyang is willing to come out, the old ministers of Nanliang can be gathered together."
"We are both seeking talents and winning people's hearts."
The empress asked Baili Bing to choose local talented people in Nanliang, and Baili Bing used all the talents he could choose.
The officials in the counties and counties in Nanliang have almost changed. There have been several comebacks in various places, but Li Xiannan suppressed them all.
Most of the old officials in the court stayed behind closed doors and refused to reconcile with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Baili Bing wanted to start with Hu Feiyang and Qiu Kuohai and invite them to become officials in the court.
"Knock on the door."
Baili Bing ordered his maid to knock on the door immediately.
