Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 227 Overlord’s Spirit

In the eighth year of Xuanhe, January 1st.

The cold wind howled, sweeping across the land thousands of miles away.

On the land east of Hedong, both the people and the imperial army led by Xu Guozhong were immersed in the joy of the New Year.

And on such a happy day as the New Year, King Qin's army launched a night attack on the imperial army staying in Hedong.

No one expected this night attack, including King Qin's army, because even King Qin's army only learned about it an hour ago. At that time, they were still eating when they suddenly received a military order from above and raided lightly.

When King Qin's army suddenly arrived in front of the imperial army camp, the war drums started to sound.

The vanguards and crossbowmen of King Qin's army were dispatched first, and hundreds of people formed a tight formation and slowly stepped forward.

Behind them is a boundless army.

Viewed from a high place, it looks like a slowly squirming ant colony, moving slowly but inexorably.

But when the imperial army discovered it, King Qin's army was already approaching.

After three or four rounds of arrows, hand-to-hand fighting broke out.

The imperial army was caught off guard, because they were still celebrating the New Year at this moment. In order to celebrate the New Year, Xu Guozhong had shipped a batch of fine wine from Tianchuan earlier, intending to reward the entire army on this day.

They never expected that King Qin's army would launch an attack at this time.

Swords and guns clashed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Lu Sheng had just gotten drunk and lay down when he returned to the military tent when he heard shouts of killing coming from outside. The soldiers below ran in in panic and told them that the enemy had launched a night attack and had already rushed in. to the military camp.

Hearing this, Lu Sheng suddenly became clear-headed. Without even putting on his armor, he took the Fang Tianhua halberd and rushed out of the military tent.

At this time, the front army of the imperial army had been defeated and began to flee.

"If anyone dares to retreat, behead him immediately!" Lu Sheng swept away several people with a halberd, and beheaded a general of King Qin's army who rushed up, beheaded the general of King Qin's army, and threw the big head towards King Qin's army. He rushed forward with dozens of cavalry.

The soldiers of the imperial army were frightened by this and rushed forward bravely.

The men and horses on both sides fought desperately, one after another screaming and falling down.

After all, King Qin's army had the upper hand, but the imperial army discovered it too late, and their defeat was certain. In the end, the remaining imperial soldiers finally collapsed and fled from both sides along the gaps between the formations.

"Lu Gou, where are you going!" As the commander of King Huai's soldiers, he spotted Lu Sheng among the rebels at a glance.

He knew that Lu Sheng was now a thorn in King Huai's heart.

As a commander of personal soldiers, he naturally has to share the worries of the king.

"Supernatural power, activate!"

The third level, also known as the realm of supernatural powers, can materialize the absorbed innate spiritual energy according to the skills and transform it into supernatural powers.

The innate spiritual energy he absorbed was the lava energy deep underground.

In an instant, countless fires rose from the ground of the imperial army camp, and hundreds of defeated soldiers of the imperial army died in the sea of ​​fire.

His whole body and the war horse beneath him were enveloped in fire. The difference was that both he and the war horse were spared from the burning fire.

Once the magical power is activated, the time it lasts depends on whether there is enough lava gas underground and whether there is enough innate spiritual energy stored in oneself.

And now that the cold weather has affected his magical powers, they won't last long.

He had to fight quickly, and it was a complete waste to use it to kill the small soldiers, so he went straight to Lu Sheng.

"The mantis' arms are like a chariot!"

Lu Sheng's whole body was surrounded by golden light. A golden giant about ten feet tall, holding a Fang Tian painted halberd, floated behind Lu Sheng in the air. Lu Sheng rode a war horse and rushed towards the outside of the formation with thousands of defeated troops. God Blocking God will kill God, blocking Buddha will kill Buddha.

The soldiers and commanders of King Huai who came to stop him were directly driven back by Lu Sheng's attack.

However, Lu Sheng did not struggle with him, but broke out of the formation.

King Huai watched carefully from the high platform of the rear army and said to King Chong next to him: "This Lu Sheng's overbearing spirit is indeed extraordinary. It's a pity that he can't be used by me. Chu Ce can't keep him. King Chong should let him go." Your people take action."

King Chong bowed his hands to King Huai, and then glanced at his trusted general: "General Gongsun, don't let Lu Sheng escape."

"Order."

A black horse galloped out and went straight to Lu Sheng, saying at the same time: "Brother Chu Ce, Yan is here to help you!"

"Okay, you and I will join hands and capture him together." Chu Ce, the commander of King Huai's soldiers, responded.

Chu Ce was not originally named Chu, but he was given the imperial surname because of his great achievements.

The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, attacked Lu Sheng from a flank.

However, faced with the flanking attack of two top generals, Lu Sheng did not dodge, but instead penetrated the battle formation in front of him first.

As for the two attacks, they were all blocked by the golden giant behind Lu Sheng.

"Swish"

Countless flying hooks were thrown towards Lu Sheng. Some flying hooks were shaken away by the golden giant, and then the ropes carried by some flying hooks entangled the golden giant.

These ropes are made of special materials and soaked in the martial arts of warriors for seven or forty-nine days. They are specially used to control the embodiment of supernatural powers.

"Ho ho ho!" The golden giant's body was filled with golden innate spiritual energy. He wanted to break the ropes, but as soon as one was broken, another one wrapped around him, and the golden giant let out a low roar.

"Pull!" the commanding general ordered.

Countless soldiers of King Qin holding ropes exerted their strength from all directions.

The golden giant's forward figure was choked, and Lu Sheng seemed to be in sync with it, being pulled off his horse by an invisible force. "Take it." Lu Sheng didn't hesitate for a moment. The golden giant suddenly turned into dots of light and sank into his body. He immediately stood up from the ground and returned to his horse with Fangtian Painted Halberd in hand.

At the same time, Chu Ce and Gongsun Yan attacked again.

Lu Sheng patted the horse's back gently, stood on the horse's back, as if walking on flat ground, turned around and fought with the two men.

"Even if I don't use my magical powers, you guys are no match for me."

Lu Sheng waved his halberd with great domineering force. In just a dozen rounds, he repelled the two men. With dozens of riders, he broke through the encirclement and flew away.

……

Yi Family Courtyard.

Han Anniang was defeated early and fell asleep because of drinking.

"Husband." Yi Shiyan came over, her face seemed to be red and bleeding. After confirming that Han Anniang was asleep, she said, "I want a gift for my husband."

"What gift?" Chen Mo was stunned and glanced at Xiaolu, who was only wearing underwear. There was no way to hide the gift.

Yi Shiyan sat up slightly, suppressed her shyness, and took off her long johns in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's eyes widened suddenly, and the elegantly decorated room became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Looking down at the innocent and cute little deer, Chen Mo really couldn't figure out how she could do such a thing.

"Xiaolu, where did you learn this?" Chen Mo said.

"Husband, don't you like it?" Yi Shiyan said tremblingly, fearing that Chen Mo wouldn't like it, and then took out a booklet from under the pillow. It was the same booklet from the romantic night in the same room, and pointed at the big insect on it.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Did you do it yourself?" Chen Mo said.

Yi Shiyan was not happy when she saw Chen Mo's expression, thinking that he didn't like it. She was a little helpless to hide it, her eyes looked like she was about to cry without tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "Well, I am facing the bronze mirror."

"Pfft."

"Husband, why are you laughing?"

"The little deer is so cute, haha."

"You are not allowed to laugh."

"My husband likes this gift very much. Xiaolu, please take it away and let me take a closer look."

"Oh husband"

Seeing a dark shadow bowing its head, Yi Shiyan was startled, but soon fell into despair.

……

In the silence of winter nights, the dim light of red lanterns flickers, giving people a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

The long night shines like a pearl, conveying a pure beauty in the silence.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind hit the windowsill, making the entire attic seem to shake.

In the guest room opposite the loft.

The candlelight reflected on the window paper, and the dim light penetrated the room, which was silent.

In the light curtain room, Xia Zhining's figure gradually became plump. Lying on her side on the soft pillow, she had been touching each other for countless times. Passed through the cracked window and looked out at the attic.

"Zhining, have you noticed anything is wrong?"

Xia Zhiqing, who had just returned from relieving herself, closed the door, took off her cloak, got into bed, and said to Xia Zhining.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhining was stunned and turned around.

Xia Zhiqing put her cold feet into her sister's warm quilt and whispered: "The relationship between Mo Lang and his sister-in-law seems to be too ambiguous."

Hearing this, Xia Zhining, who had not noticed the problem at first, thought about it and immediately realized that something was wrong. It seemed that there was indeed some ambiguity.

Whether it was picking up food for that bastard, persuading that bastard to drink less, or wiping that bastard's mouth with a handkerchief, these were not things a sister-in-law should do.

Moreover, Han Anniang's figure is indeed too good to be true. With her bastard personality, it would be difficult for her to hold back.

But when she thought about it carefully, this kind of thing didn't seem strange. This kind of thing happened not only among the people, but also in the families of the rich and powerful, and it was even more chaotic.

"It's not a big deal." Xia Zhining muttered.

"That's true." Xia Zhiqing hugged her sister and said immediately: "Xiaolu is so naive. She has no defense against us and no scheming. She is a good girl."

The innocence in Xia Zhiqing's words was not derogatory.

Xia Zhining nodded in agreement and said, "I quite like her, she's so cute. That bastard doesn't deserve her at all."

"Zhining, don't keep calling him an asshole and an asshole. We are a family now and we have to get along well in the future." Xia Zhiqing frowned and said.

The two sisters thought that Chen Mo would not come over because he was accompanying his concubine tonight, so after chatting for a while, they couldn't help but feel sleepy and fell asleep under the hypnosis of alcohol.

At this moment, Chen Mo left the attic and walked towards the guest room where the two sisters lived.

The door was locked, but for Chen Mo, he opened it easily. With a smile on his lips, he walked towards the back room and passed through the bead curtain.
