Chapter 192: Chaos in the North, Military Conquest, Included in the List

In the distance, a familiar figure came into view.

The sudden appearance of Liang Qingsong made Ma Chen's heart tighten, and there was a hint of panic and confusion on his face.

Through observations over the past few days, he found that Liang Qingsong came to the yard every night, but basically only came once.

Tonight they deliberately took action after Liang Qingsong left, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.

Looking at Liang Qingsong approaching, Ma Chen became more and more anxious. He wanted to remind Su Chen, but he was afraid of being discovered by someone from the Liang family.

"Tie Kun, hurry up!"

Ma Chen screamed in his heart and threw a stone as a reminder.

At this time, Liang Qingsong had already arrived outside the courtyard and could enter the courtyard in just a few breaths.

If Su Chen doesn't come out, he will be discovered!

"who?"

In desperation, Ma Chen deliberately made noise to attract Liang Qingsong's attention.

Sure enough, after hearing the noise, Liang Qingsong immediately shouted, then jumped up and chased after the sound.

Ma Chen turned a deaf ear and continued to lure Liang Qingsong away.

"you again!"

Liang Qingsong's eyes were like fire, and he recognized Ma Chen at a glance, and he was filled with anger.

This guy sneaked into the Liang Mansion again and again and stole the Liang Mansion's elixirs. He was already listed on the Liang family's must-kill list.

Now he actually dares to come again and intensifies his efforts to covet the elixir. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want in the Liang Mansion with this kind of physical skills?

Liang Qingsong's body flashed, he clenched his palm, raised his arm suddenly, and a Mitsubishi thorn formed by the condensed strength suddenly took shape.

Hearing him shout softly, the Mitsubishi Thorn came out of his hand and turned into a beam of light, hitting Ma Chen directly.

The bursts of piercing sound coming from behind made Ma Chen feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. He did not dare to be careless and hurriedly changed direction.

Bang!

A low explosion sounded suddenly. Ma Chen turned his head and saw that the Mitsubishi Thorn exploded on the spot where he was standing, causing a rain of vitality all over the sky.

Seeing this, Ma Chen's pupils shrank suddenly. If he was hit, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

While he was still in shock, another lightning-fast Mitsubishi thorn whizzed towards him. Ma Chen was frightened and pulled away to dodge.

But this time, Liang Qingsong seemed to have expected Ma Chen's action, and the second Mitsubishi Thorn quickly condensed and shot out in an instant.

"not good!"

Ma Chen's expression changed drastically, and a Mitsubishi thorn suddenly hit his face where he landed. It was reflected in his pupils and quickly enlarged.

At the critical moment, Ma Chen frantically mobilized the strength in his body, condensed it on the palm of his hand, grunted, and blasted out with a palm.

"hehe!"

Liang Qingsong, who was speeding up, saw this scene and sneered. How could such a weak force block his Yuanli attack?

Sure enough, at the moment when the Palm of Strength came into contact with the Mitsubishi Thorn, the terrifying power of the Mitsubishi Thorn broke through the Palm of Strength like a torrent.

In an instant, the Mitsubishi thorn penetrated with great force, shook the void, and struck with the force of breaking through clouds and rocks.

That sharp light spot instantly occupied Ma Chen's sight, and Ma Chen's brain fell into a brief blank at this moment.

"who?"

Just when the Mitsubishi Thorn was about to penetrate Ma Chen's body, it suddenly stagnated, as if it hit something and made a weird sound.

But in Liang Qingsong's eyes, the Mitsubishi Thorn was only three meters away from Ma Chen. There was darkness ahead, and there was something there.

No, that's not right.

As the fierce impact resounded, Liang Qingsong's eyes narrowed.

He saw that at the tip of the Mitsubishi thorn, the air was slightly twisted, showing the tip of the iceberg.

It was an equally sharp giant golden needle, and the tips of the Mitsubishi thorn needles collided together like wheat awns.

Bang!

In an instant, a dull sound like striking iron resounded, and the sound wave was like a tide.

The Golden Needle and the Mitsubishi Thorn were shaken away by the impact they brought. The restrained energy could no longer support it at this moment and was about to explode.

Suddenly, a huge net of power fell from the sky, wrapping the two of them, and actually restraining the explosion of the two.

"This is?"

Liang Qingsong was originally surprised by the person who took action, but when he saw this scene, his heart immediately trembled.

What kind of move is this?

Before he could recover, the powerful net containing huge energy flew towards him.

Whoosh!

When he was only twenty meters away from Liang Qingsong, a gap opened in the web of strength.

The energy and energy inside was instantly released, pouring out like a wave.

In the end, the web of strength could no longer bear it and exploded in front of Liang Qingsong.

Liang Qingsong had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately realized that something was wrong, his whole body turned into a breeze and he ducked away.

After a long time, the roar stopped.

Liang Qingsong's face was uncertain and his eyes were gloomy. Ma Chen had already disappeared.

"There are actually helpers!"

Liang Qingsong murmured, remembering the figure that had just appeared in his sudden glance, his expression suddenly became gloomy and inexplicable.

After a while, Liang Qingsong returned to the yard.

"Clan leader, Liang Rui has passed out."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the guard hurriedly reported, and Liang Qingsong heard black ink behind him.

He entered the room and found not only Liang Rui but also four maids who were unconscious.

"Wake him up." Liang Qingsong ordered.

Not long after, Liang Rui woke up, saw Liang Qingsong with an ugly face, and said in panic: "Clan leader, the elixir, the elixir has been taken away..."

"waste!"

Liang Qingsong snorted coldly when he heard this, waved his hand, and the guards took Liang Rui down.

…

The person who took action was Su Chen.

After rescuing Ma Chen, the two hurried back and arrived at their residence in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Huh." Ma Chen let out a long breath. Fortunately, Su Chen took action in time, otherwise he would have been in trouble.

"Thank you this time." Su Chen patted Ma Chen's shoulder to thank him.

If Ma Chen hadn't lured Liang Qingsong away, he really wouldn't have been able to obtain the prescription so easily.

Ma Chen shook his head and smiled, then asked: "It's okay, have you succeeded in the recipe?"

Su Chen nodded and took out a stack of information from his arms, which he obtained from the alchemist Liang Rui.

Liang Qingsong should have handed over all the alchemy recipes to the alchemist so that he could master the alchemy technology as soon as possible, but he did not expect that Su Chen took advantage of him in the end.

After looking at it for a few times, my head started to hurt, and I was indeed not fit to study.

Ma Chen put down the elixir recipe and saw Su Chen looking at it with interest, so he couldn't help but ask: "It's good that I found it, but Tie Kun, can you still make elixirs?"

Su Chen replied without raising his head: "I know a little bit."

A night of silence.

At noon the next day, Su Chen finished sorting out the elixir recipes. The process of refining the elixirs was actually similar, but there were many annotations and needed to be classified.

"Are you leaving?"

After the two had lunch, Su Chen said goodbye, and Ma Chen was slightly reluctant to leave.

"Yes." Su Chen nodded after hearing this. After being away for so long, it was time to go back. "We will meet at the same place in the future."

"good!"

After saying goodbye to Ma Chen, Su Chen returned to Fengbei City with his original appearance restored.

After entering the city, Su Chen was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the city had become much heavier, and the number of pedestrians on the streets and alleys had also decreased a lot.

There was a bit of uneasiness on everyone's face.

"what's going on?"

Walking on the street, Su Chen could clearly feel the depression in the air, with doubts on his face.

I haven't been back for a few days, but I feel like Fengbei City has changed.

After traveling all the way, Su Chen returned to Qiao Mansion. The servants in Qiao Mansion were already used to Su Chen's sudden disappearance and sudden return.

The yard is cleaned every day and looks extremely clean.

After putting away the things he had acquired recently, Su Chen came to the yard and soon saw Qiao Qiliang walking in a hurry.

"Su Chen, you are finally back." Qiao Qiliang strode over and said to him.

Su Chen knew that Qiao Qiliang must have something to say, so he just smiled and did not interrupt.

"You don't know that Dafeng City is about to change during the time you left!" Sure enough, Qiao Qiliang continued.

The next sentence directly made Su Chen's expression become confused.

Qiao Qiliang's expression became solemn and he continued: "The Northland is in chaos, and the Yaowu Sect has taken advantage of the situation and swept across all directions with the force of wind and lingering clouds.

In just a few days, half of the cities in the North were captured. The weather has become bad and the North is in danger.

At the same time, rebellions of varying degrees occurred in Xicang Mansion and Nanyuan Mansion. Although not as serious as those in Beidi, they also made Daqian fearful.

Of the five mansions of the Great Qian Dynasty, only the Donglin mansion is now safe and sound, but there are no eggs left under the overturned nest.

Once the Northland falls, Daqian will be in danger, not to mention Donglin Mansion.

The incident in Beidi shocked the government and the public. When Emperor Qian heard the news, Long Yan was furious and asked Xicang Mansion and Nanyuan Mansion to quickly put an end to the chaos.

At the same time, the three prefectures were ordered to send troops to support the Northland and suppress the rebellion.

After the palace master learned the news, he ordered the five cities of Dafeng to recruit warriors from each city as the first batch of auxiliary troops, who would then go to the front line with the palace army. "

Qiao Qiliang said a lot in one breath, and the solemnity in his words could be heard in every word.

This is also true. It may not be clear that Su Chen has been out for a long time, but Qiao Qiliang knows that as soon as the news came out, countless forces took action after hearing the news and took precautions.

"No wonder!" Su Chen suddenly realized after hearing this. No wonder he always felt like a storm was coming.

Qiao Qiliang nodded: "We in Fengbei City also want to recruit warriors. The palace master has given us ten blood-moving warriors, one hundred bone-forging warriors, five hundred internal organs training warriors, and one thousand strong martial arts practitioners."

Today's Dafeng City is no longer what it used to be. With the influx of forces from all sides in the city, the entire strength has improved by unknown levels.

Although it is a bit difficult to recruit 1,600 warriors, it is definitely not high.

"But..." Qiao Qiliang frowned as he said that.

Su Chen asked in confusion: "But what?"

"But this recruitment is jointly organized by the city lord's palace and the clan. At the same time, the palace lord also sent personal guards to supervise." Qiao Qiliang replied with some annoyance.

It stands to reason that the recruitment of warriors by the government should be controlled by the city lord's palace. No one expected that the palace lord would make such a decision in the end.

Seeing Su Chen's frown, Qiao Qiliang smiled: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, neither you nor Li Mo will be recorded in the record."

"Yeah." Su Chen nodded. He didn't care, he was just worried about Li Mo.

Now that I hear what Qiao Qiliang says, I can relax.

"By the way, what do you want from me?" Qiao Qiliang asked.

Su Chen took out the list and said, "I need you to help me buy some medicinal materials."

Qiao Qiliang took the list and glanced at it, then put it away, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Afterwards, after the two chatted for a while, Qiao Qiliang left. The recruitment of warriors made him busy.

Qiao Qiliang's efficiency was as fast as ever. In the evening, a batch of medicinal materials had been delivered in advance.

However, Su Chen did not rush to refine the strong blood elixir, but continued to study the elixir, trying to understand it in the shortest possible time.

Although the steps and content recorded in this prescription are very detailed, understanding it is one thing, and operating it is another.

These annotations can help Su Chen understand better, reduce unnecessary mistakes, and get started faster. Naturally, he should take them seriously.

"As expected of the Strong Blood Pill, which is deeper than the Qi and Blood Pill. There are hundreds of medicinal materials, and among them, there is even a Qingling Pill as a medicine guide.

If I remember correctly, Qing Ling Dan is a qi and blood medicine produced by Liang's family. Its efficacy is weaker than that of qi and blood medicine. I never thought it could have such effect.

No wonder Liang controls the sales channels of Qingling Pill and rarely sells it to individuals. "

After studying for nearly a day, Su Chen thoroughly researched the Strong Blood Pill and understood why the Liang clan became one of the four major clans.

The relationship between the Yun family and the Liang family is just like the relationship between the Hong family and the Chu family. They are interdependent and develop independently.

The Liang family controls the Light Spirit Pill, and the Yun family controls the Strong Blood Pill. Although the Light Spirit Pill has little effect on warriors, it is extremely important to the Yun family.

Because the prescription of the Strong Blood Pill clearly states that using the Light Spirit Pill can increase the success rate by 30%, and its efficacy is also a bit stronger than the commonly made Strong Blood Pill.

Therefore, the Liang family traded the Qingling Pill with the Yun family for the Strong Blood Pill, and both parties reached a win-win situation.

After some random thoughts, Su Chen started refining the strong blood pill.

Time flew by and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the secret room.

Bang!

The alchemy furnace exploded.

"Another furnace was scrapped."

Su Chen sighed helplessly. This was an unknown number of times where the refining had failed.

The difficulty of refining the Strong Blood Pill is far beyond imagination, ten times and a hundred times more difficult than the Qi Blood Pill.

After five days of refining, almost no one was successful.

The one that was closest to success, although there was no explosion, there was no elixir, but a pile of sticky liquid.

It's not what a strong blood pill should be like at all.

"Oh, let's continue refining."

After adjusting his mentality, Su Chen continued to practice hard.

On this day, the outside world.

The recruitment of warriors was in full swing, and with the joint efforts of the Luo Family and the City Lord's Mansion, the quotas were quickly collected.

Luo's mansion.

The sound of the piano echoes around the beams, the dancing girls sway, and people drink and drink, creating a lively and fragrant scene.

The leader of the Luo clan, Luo Yuanxiu, raised his wine glass high and laughed heartily: "Thank you three adults for your help in this recruitment. I, Luo Yuanxiu, would like to drink a glass to you."

"Clan Chief Luo, you're welcome. This is a matter within my scope. Besides, the recruitment was completed so quickly this time thanks to Chief Luo's help." A middle-aged man smiled loudly and raised his glass to drink. The men on his left and right also followed suit. Raise your glass and drink the wine in one gulp.

"Haha, Master Xin is so complimentary." Luo Yuanxiu shook his head and smiled.

But at this moment, a man from the Luo family came to the door. He came to Luo Yuanxiu and whispered a few words.

Seeing Luo Yuanxiu frowning, the leader Gan Xin asked curiously: "Clan Chief Luo, what trouble did you encounter?"

When Luo Yuanxiu heard this, he waved his hand, the servants retreated, the music suddenly stopped, the dancers became still, and the hall instantly became quiet.

He waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a visit from Qiao Qiliang."

"Qiao Qiliang?" Gan Xin was stunned after hearing this and asked, "What is he doing here?"

Before they finished speaking, several people heard footsteps coming from the door, and then saw Qiao Qiliang striding towards them with a sullen face.

Seeing Qiao Qiliang barging in directly, Luo Yuanxiu's face was a little ugly, but he remained calm. He stood up and waved his sleeves, ordering the dancers to retreat.

Looking at Qiao Qiliang, Luo Yuan Xiu smiled and said: "Master Qiao broke into the Luo Mansion without permission. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Qiao Qiliang's cold eyes swept across and he snorted: "Nothing can compare to the Luo clan leader's behavior of using rats to meddle in other people's business."

"Qiao Qiliang, the Luo family is not a place for you to run wild!" A soft drink sounded, it was Luo Jin'an, the direct descendant of the Luo family.

Hearing Qiao Qiliang's words, he stood up immediately, showing displeasure.

"I'm talking to Patriarch Luo, and it's your turn to interrupt." Qiao Qiliang replied in a nonchalant manner, making Luo Jinan's face turn black with anger.

He was about to get angry, but Luo Yuanxiu stopped him: "Jin An, all the adults are here, don't lose your identity."

Immediately, he turned to Qiao Qiliang and asked: "Master Qiao, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. It just so happens that all the adults are here, so I also asked them to comment."

"When the Luo Family signed an agreement with the City Lord's Mansion, each was responsible for half of the recruitment quota. Our City Lord's Mansion was responsible for recruiting warriors in the East and Nancheng Districts. Li Mo is from the DC District. Can Chief Luo explain to me why he is also recruiting this time? On the list?" Qiao Qiliang asked through gritted teeth.

"Haha, so that's what happened."

Luo Yuanxiu chuckled lightly, "My subordinates made a mistake about this matter. I have already made it clear to the three adults, and the three adults have let it go."

"Then why not change it?"

Luo Yuanxiu's face condensed slightly: "He is just an unknown soldier. If he makes a mistake, he will make a mistake. Being able to go to the front line is also his blessing, why should he change it?

Could it be that Mr. Qiao thinks that others can go, but I, the Luo clan, can go, but this person cannot go?

Is this Li Mo more noble than the thousands of people who serve the country? "

His voice raised slightly, with a hint of aggression, which left Qiao Qiliang speechless.

"Of course not." Qiao Qiliang quickly denied it.

He paused and said in a deep voice: "It's just that I have my own arrangements for this person, so there is no need for Chief Luo to meddle in his own business."

Luo Jin'an, who was on the side, chuckled: "Qiao Qiliang, I advise you not to mess around. The list has been handed in and has been witnessed by all the adults. It is difficult to recover after overturning the water. How can you modify it?"

Gan Xin, who had been silent for a long time, said expressionlessly: "The list has been submitted to the Palace Master and cannot be changed. Mr. Qiao would be better off not making unreasonable troubles."

Hearing this, Qiao Qiliang was furious. He hurried over as soon as he got the news that Li Mo was included in the list.

Unexpectedly, Luo had already secretly visited Chen Cang, handed over the list, and called Gan Xin and others to testify.

A few days ago, he had sworn to Su Chen that Li Mo would not be selected, but in the blink of an eye, Luo Shi interfered. You can imagine the anger in Qiao Qiliang's heart, and his face was as gloomy as ink.

At this time, Luo Yuanxiu issued an eviction order: "If there is nothing else, Mr. Qiao, please come back. Jin'an, see you off."

Luo Jinan responded and came to Qiao Qiliang. Seeing him like this, he sneered.

He snorted coldly: "Stop standing here stupidly. Go back and prepare for the Sihai Gang's funeral. I forgot to tell you that in addition to Li Mo, you will be recruited this time, as well as your bullshit deputy gang leader."

These words were like a fuse, completely igniting Qiao Qiliang's anger. He just heard him shout loudly: "You are looking for death!"
