    "ThisI'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Although I have the demon power of Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox, butI can't do it"

    In the guest room of the Hanning Prefecture, Zhang Ning carefully checked Chen Su's condition, then sighed and shook his head.  .

    When Tang Xiner heard this, her face turned pale, and she knelt down in front of Zhang Ning. She choked and said, "Miss Zhang, because my husband has a good relationship with you, please save him. This kind of kindness is beyond me."  The horse will also repay" At the end of the sentence, I burst into tears.

    "Sister Tang has misunderstood," Zhang Ning quickly helped Tang Xiner up, holding her hand and explaining softly, "It's not that I don't want to save, it's just that it's a taboo technique to defy the will of heaven to survive, even though I have to hear it  I can't find the right method, I really I really don't know how to save him" As she said that, she glanced at Chen Suan who was lying unconscious on the couch, and said bitterly, "Sister, I have to believe that if there is a way to save him  She would not hesitate to sacrifice me"

    When Tang Xiner heard this, her vision went dark and she fell down. Fortunately, Zhang Ning saw it and reached out to help her quickly, and helped her to the chair next to the table.

    "Not even Miss Zhang Ning Is there no one in the world who can save my husband's life" As she said that, Tang Xiner lay on the table and burst into tears.

    Looking at her uncomfortable look, and seeing how the once majestic Chen Suan was now as weak as an old man, Zhang Ning felt uncomfortable in his heart. He stroked Tang Xiner's back and whispered softly, "Sister Tang, don't be anxious, there will be a way."  "" As she spoke, she murmured and sighed, and said, "It's a pity that I don't have as many Taoist skills as my sister"

    "Sister" Tang Xiner lost her voice in pain when she heard it.  As if he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly stopped crying and murmured as if he was lost in thought, "Yes! She can definitely do it. She can definitely do it" As he said that, he actually wanted to move Chen Ran who was lying on the couch.

    Zhang Ning was startled, grabbed Tang Xiner's arm, frowned and said, "Sister Tang, are you trying to find my sister?"

    A look of embarrassment flashed across Tang Xiner's face, and she said bitterly, "Is there any other way?"

    "Do you think she will help?"

    "I beg her"

    "You begged her?" Zhang Ning shook his head slightly.  He said calmly, "Although I am far away in Hanzhong, I still know the whole story, the battle between Yuan and Cao. My sister did not hesitate to sacrifice the man she loved most in her life, but she also wanted to maintain the power in her hands and the ambition in her heart. She like that,  Will you heed your request?"

    "I¡­¡­"

    "According to my sister's nature, if you take General Chen to ask for help, it will undoubtedly be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth"

    "Maybemaybe she will miss her original kindness"

    "If my sister really cares about her old relationship, then I'm afraid she and General Chen wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"

    "Then" Seeing that the only way to survive was cut off by Zhang Ning.  Tang Xiner's face was ashen.

    Seeing this, Zhang Ning stroked Tang Xiner's back.  He said softly, "Sister Tang, please don't be sad. My father has a lot of Taoist classics, which are now piled in the warehouse. I will check them out. I believe I will be able to find a way to cure General Chen!"

    Looking up at Zhang Ning, Tang Xiner nodded slowly.

    "Without further delay, I will immediately go to the palace's warehouse to read my Taoist classics. Sister Tang and General Chen will live here peacefully. I will instruct the servants in the mansion to take good care of them. If Sister Tang has any instructions, just tell the servants  That¡¯s the way!¡±

    "Well, thank you very much, Miss Zhang Ning I don't know how long it will take?"

    "Yes, as for the time" Zhang Ning glanced at Chen Suan, who was lying unconscious on the couch, and said hesitantly, "It can take as long as a month, or as short as a few days. I believe that something can be gained" As he said,  As she spoke, her voice gradually became quieter. Perhaps, even she herself couldn't guarantee it.

    ??Also, extending the life of a person who has expired is a taboo in Taoism. After all, Taoism follows Lao Tzu's thought of inaction. What is inaction?  This is the so-called resigning oneself to one's fate and complying with the destiny. Oneself do nothing and everything depends on God's arrangement.

    " To extend the life of a person who has expired is obviously against the laws of birth, old age, illness and death. Even Zhang Ning has never learned this kind of magic that goes against heaven.

    After ordering the servants in the mansion, Zhang Ning immediately went to the warehouse where Taoist classics were stored, and read the Taoist techniques recorded in them one by one. However, there were more than a thousand Taoist classics in the warehouse. It has to be said that this  It is really an extremely huge project.

    But Zhang Ning had no choice but to do this, not for Tang Xiner, but for Chen Su, for the person she had been missing in her heart for the past three years

    Ah, I don¡¯t knowSince when, this woman with the most powerful demonic power in the world, unknowingly fell in love with the man she met in Xuzhou, a man who was different from this era, and even got a little jealous for a while.  Their evil thoughts turned the two sisters from strangers into mortal enemies

    In the first few nights when she returned to Hanzhong, she would dream of Zhang Susu's resentful face almost every night. However, in the following days, she recited Taoist records every day, and her Taoist heart became stronger. Unfortunately,  Tang Xiner and Chen Su suddenly appeared in front of her, completely shattering the Taoist heart she had managed to maintain over the past three years.

    Especially when he saw that the majestic Chen Su, who had once stood in front of thousands of troops, was now so old and unconscious, Zhang Ning only felt a tightening in his chest.

    ¡°Definitely, we must save him!¡±

    It has to be said that due to the huge demonic power of the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Fox, Zhang Ning has been deliberately cared for by Heaven since he was a child.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    But unfortunately, most of Zhang Luku¡¯s Tao records only recorded some trivial things, at most one or two simple Tao techniques, so Zhang Ning spent nearly half a month searching hard and found nothing.

    Also, after all, how can this kind of surgery that renews life be recorded in ordinary natives?

    ""

    Silently closed the ****** technique.  Zhang Ning, who found nothing, rubbed her forehead tiredly. In the past half month, she even ignored her adoptive father Zhang Lu, who loved her very much, in order to find a way to treat Chen Chang as soon as possible.  But unfortunately, God failed her.

    Time passed day by day, and Zhang Ning searched sleeplessly. Every time, she opened the magic spell with full hope, but in the end, all she got was disappointment.

    Half a month

    Another half month

    Another half month

    Zhang Ning is still searching sleeplessly, but Tang Xiner over there is gradually unable to bear the endless waiting.  Finally one day, when Zhang Ning returned to his room to take a shower with a tired look on his face, he was suddenly shocked to hear that Tang Xiner had left Hanzhong with Chen Ran

    "What? She's gone?"

    "Yes, Miss"

    "About five days ago"

    "Why didn't you stop her?!" The first time.  Zhang Ning showed an angry expression in front of the servants in the mansion.

    The personal maid fell to her knees with a plop and apologized repeatedly, "Miss, you have ordered that they are your important guests, so we dare not stop"

    Zhang Ning covered his forehead tiredly.  Weakly asked, "When did you leave?"

    "It was about five days ago At that time, I wanted to report this matter to the young lady, but the young lady ordered the guards guarding the warehouse not to let anyone in"

    "I understand." Zhang Ning frowned, nodded, and waved his hand.  "You go down"

    "Yes, Miss"

    Looking at the back of the maid as she leaves.  Zhang Ning sighed quietly.

    In fact, now that things have happened, Zhang Ning also understands that it is simply impossible to find the Taoist magic that can defy heaven and extend life from the trivial Taoist magic in the library. Maybe Tang Xiner took Chen Ran to find Zhang Susu,  That is the best way, but the key is, will that woman really care about her old relationship?

    To take a step back, even if Zhang Susu still has some old feelings in her heart and is willing to save Chen Ye, she will never let Chen Ye and Tang Xiner leave again.

    Because, if she is willing to help, it means that she still cares about Chen Ye in her heart. According to her character, she will most likely take the opportunity to keep Chen Ye by her side, and even use magic to tamper with Chen Ye's memory.  All other women except Zhang Susu were eliminated

    Zhang Ning believes that her sister Zhang Susu will do this, because if she doesn¡¯t, Chen Ran will definitely not stay with Zhang Susu anymore

    Thinking of this, Zhang Ning couldn't rest. After leaving a note and asking the maid to present it to Zhang Lu, he used magic and turned into a breeze to chase Tang Xiner.

    But Hanzhong is more than a thousand miles away from Xudu, where Zhang Susu is, so how can she know which way Tang Xiner took?  Even if she encounters robbers or bandits on the way, Tang Xiner, who has no power to restrain a chicken

    Zhang Ning didn't dare to think about it anymore and looked around for traces of Tang Xiner and Chen Su. She was so pitiful that on the afternoon of the third day, she finally found Tang Xiner's carriage in a mountain col more than a hundred miles away from Hanzhong. This made her finally  It was a sigh of relief.

    &nbsp"Sister Tang, why are you so anxious?"

    Facing Zhang Ning¡¯s obviously accusatory tone, Tang Xiner felt a little guilty. After all, she was leaving without saying goodbye, which was extremely rude.

    "Don't be surprised, Miss Zhang. I really can't wait I can't wait for so long. What if my husband does something" As she spoke, Tang Xiner began to sob uncontrollably.

    Seeing this, what else could Zhang Ning say? She had nothing to say, because in this month, she had not found any way to help Chen Chang.

    After much deliberation, Zhang Ning had to admit that Zhang Susu¡¯s help was necessary to treat Chen Su, but would that woman really help?

    There was a question, but Zhang Ning still had no answer until he protected Tang Xiner and Chen Suan all the way to Xudu.

    In November of the third year of Jian'an, just one month before Chen Su's twenty-fourth birthday, Zhang Ning and Tang Xiner finally brought the unconscious Chen Su to Xudu.

    At this time, Chen Suan was so angry that he was almost dying. With his sallow face, anyone could tell that his time had come.

    Seeing this, Tang Xiner was very anxious, but Zhang Ning was still suspicious of Zhang Susu's willingness to help. The two girls discussed it at the inn in the city, and finally came to the conclusion that Tang Xiner would take Chen Suo to try it first. If three days  No news.  Then Zhang Ning will come forward.

    After all, the relationship between Zhang Ning and Zhang Susu is really bad. If it can be solved without showing up, that would be the best thing.  Zhang Ning herself knew that, for this reason, she rested for a day at the inn in Xudu City, firstly to let Tang Xiner try out the trivial possibility, and secondly, after reading Taoist classics without sleep for a month, plus  After nearly a month of long journey, even Zhang Ning.  It¡¯s also a bit too much.

    No wonder, she is a woman after all.

    Xudu is still so prosperous, but its owner.  But it is no longer Cao Cao, but Zhang Susu.

    This woman, who was extremely thirsty for power, secretly bribed and convinced many of Cao Cao's generals, civil servants, and even others when Cao Cao was suffering from headache.  Later, when Cao Cao's headache became more severe, Zhang Susu openly coerced and lured Cao Cao's generals, promoted Zhang Liao, Zhang Jia, Gao Lan and other generals who were inclined to him, and excluded Cao Cao such as Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong.  A beloved general.  He openly held the power of Xudu and even the imperial court in his hands.

    There are rumors in the market about the imperial physician Ji Ping who diagnosed Cao Cao's illness.  Most of them were sent by Zhang Susu to control Cao Cao.  He was told to stay in bed.

    Xudu in the third year of Jian'an has become Zhang Susu's possession. While Cao Cao was seriously ill in bed, all the former civil and military ministers under his command all joined Zhang Susu's command, either voluntarily or forced by the situation.

    In terms of generals, even generals such as Yu Jin, Yue Jin, and Li Dian had to be controlled by Zhang Susu; in terms of civil servants, Cheng Yu, who had a secret alliance with Zhang Susu for a long time, was the first to defect, and Guo Jia was even controlled by Zhang Susu.  Even if he was reluctant, he could only obey the orders of those elixirs that could detoxify and prolong life. After that, with the surrender of some civil servants such as Chen Qun and Chen Lin, Xun Yu was left alone and unable to do anything. He was forced by the court and his Xun family.  , and Zhang Susu could only obey, because only by doing so could he maintain the court, which had no prestige, and save the lives of hundreds of members of his Xun family.

    You must know that Zhang Susu is far more ruthless than Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other princes in eradicating dissidents. In the past few years of her rule, she has killed many civil servants and generals who refused to be used by her. Of course,  The methods were really vicious and made everyone in Xu Du's court feel in danger.

    It has to be said that with her extraordinary political skills, Zhang Susu has controlled seven states, including You, Ji, Bing, Qing, Yan, Yu, and Xu. Although there is no guarantee that there are some people among them who appear to be surrendering but have secret plans.  , but at least on the surface, Zhang Susu has controlled all the forces in the territory under Cao Cao's rule.

    This woman has finally reached the pinnacle of power. Now she may be able to abolish the imperial court that has been inherited for more than 400 years with just one thought. The reason why she did not do this is nothing more than the hard pleading of Xun Yu, Xun You and other civil servants who were inclined to the Han Dynasty.  That's all, of course, the more important reason is that Zhang Susu doesn't want to cause turmoil.

    After all, with Cao Cao seriously ill in bed, the Cao surnamed forces, the imperial party forces, and Zhang Susu's forces have finally maintained a relatively peaceful stage through the efforts of people from all walks of life. Even Zhang Susu probably doesn't want to break it.  This deadlock.

    Not to mention the imperial party, at least there are still many people who are leaning towards Cao Cao. Even the generals Le Jin, Yu Jin, and Li Dian who had no choice but to switch to Zhang Susu did not necessarily completely return. Perhaps they were just waiting for Cao Cao's illness.  He just recovered. It's a pity that their monarch Cao CaoThere has been no improvement.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off, after all, the imperial doctor Ji Ping who diagnosed Cao Cao was a confidant of Taipingdao under Zhang Susu, how could he give Cao Cao a chance to make a comeback?

    Holding the title of Wei Gong in vain, Cao Cao can be said to have been completely ignored by Zhang Susu.

    Perhaps, this is Zhang Susu's subtle idea to slowly replace Cao Cao step by step, just as she went from being the prime minister to being the prime minister today, because only in this way can there be no fierce disputes, at least with Cao Cao.  Before they wake up and recover, the forces of the Cao family and the Xiahou family will not dare to act rashly.

    The Prime Minister and the Marquis of Changwen paid homage without being named, went to the palace with swords and shoes, or even refused to worship the emperor when they saw him. This is Zhang Susu's status in the court today. It is hard to imagine that a woman can sit in such a high position.

    ¡°Perhaps, even Zhang Susu herself didn¡¯t expect it.

    "Yier, the water is cold"

    In the most splendid Prime Minister's Mansion in Xudu City, Zhang Susu, who was nearly 23 years old, was lying peacefully in the warm pool.

    "Compared to three years ago, this woman's face may not have changed much.  She still had that charming and charming face, but it was a little more noble.

    Especially between the eyebrows, the murderous aura is particularly obvious.

    "Well! Here we go" Accompanied by a crisp and pleasant voice, Zhang Susu's personal maid Yi'er carried a wooden bucket filled with boiling hot water.  Slowly pour the water into the pool carved from a single piece of jade.

    "Miss, is there anything interesting happening today?" Yi'er asked curiously while pouring hot water into the pool.

    As Zhang Susu's only personal maid, perhaps she is the only one who dares to ask this question and is qualified to ask this question. If it were another maid, she would not have the courage at all.

    "An interesting fact there was an earthquake in Qingzhou. Does it count?" Zhang Susu said lightly while enjoying the comfortable hot water bath.

    "That's a disaster" Yi'er said with wide eyes.

    "So, how come there are so many interesting things!" Zhang Susu glanced at his maid angrily.

    "Oh" Yi'er stuck out her tongue cutely, and then seemed to think of something.  He tilted his head and asked curiously, "Miss, what is it like to be the prime minister?"

    "Why are you asking this?" Zhang Susu said with a chuckle.

    "I'm just curious, just tell me"

    "It feels like" Zhang Susu smiled to herself as she stretched her arms and leaned on the edge of the pool.  He shook his head and said, "Ah, what does it feel like? It was a bit new at first. But as time goes by, it just becomes that way" He said.  She sighed quietly.

    "Miss, you seem unhappy" Yi'er asked carefully.

    "Happy?" Zhang Susu smiled bitterly upon hearing this.  He stretched out his hand to hold some water in the pool, watched it flow down between his fingers, and murmured, "The things you originally hoped for are actually the same after you get them"

    "What the lady said, I don't understand"

    "You will understand when you grow up" Zhang Susu sighed quietly, then turned around as if she had thought of something, put her hand on the wall of the pool, and said with a bit of teasing, "I heard, Wen  I marched far away to Youzhou and played a triumphant song. Not only did I eliminate the remnants of the Yuan family, but I also forced Gongsun Gong to surrender. In a day or two, I'm afraid I will return to Xudu"

    For no reason, Yi'er's face turned red, she lowered her head and said hesitantly, "What do you think Miss is talking about"

    "Yes, what are you doing?" Looking at Yi'er's shy expression, Zhang Susu's eyes showed a bit of loneliness and pain.

    Once upon a time, she also had girlish feelings, and she also loved a man deeply. After seeing or hearing anything about him, she would show a shy and joyful look, but now

    Zhang Susu sighed silently.

    Suddenly, her eyes flashed, as if she noticed something. She stood up from the water with a hula, stretched out her hand, and the red silk hanging on the wooden frame flew over as if alive and wrapped her up.

    At the same time, a large area suddenly exploded on the roof. Immediately, an armored general flew down from the roof with a sword in hand. The sword in his hand was pointed directly at Zhang Susu. Looking at his face, it turned out to be Zhang Liao.

    "Humph!" Zhang Susu chuckled and waved his hands, but saw the red silk flying and heard a muffled sound. Zhang Liao, who came to assassinate, was immediately hit by the red silk and hit the pillar in the hall with a bang.

    "You really don't learn well, Wenyuan!" With a chuckle, Zhang Susu sat back in the pool of water again, not looking at Zhang Liao who was beaten by him outside the screen and couldn't stand up.

    "Damn it!" Zhang Liao stared at the screen behind him with an angry face.The shadow said bitterly, "Don't be too happy too early. One day, I will kill you to vent my resentment for Brother Chang!"

    "Humph, my martial arts skills are mediocre, but my tone is quite good. I'll wait until you reach the God of War before coming back. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to stop my attack in time and kill you by mistake" Zhang Susu said lightly.

    "You!" Zhang Liao's face flushed with anger, but he was speechless. After all, Zhang Susu's strength was too unfathomable. With his strength that was almost like that of a god of war, he had no room to fight back. Perhaps, really  Only those who have reached the God of War are qualified to fight with this woman.

    "ZhangGeneral Zhang? Are you okay" Yi'er ran over in panic, looking at Zhang Liao who was holding his chest and barely standing up. She hesitated and advised, "General Zhang, don't try to assassinate the lady again.  , you are no match for Miss"

    "What did you say?!" Zhang Liao glared at Yi'er angrily, and Yi'er took a few steps back in shock, her face turned pale.

    Seeing this, Zhang Susu frowned behind the screen and said without hesitation, "Zhang Wenyuan, after a trip to Youzhou, did you learn how to show off to women?"

    After being ridiculed by Zhang Susu, Zhang Liao realized his gaffe, his face turned red, and he looked at Yi'er apologetically.

    "Feel sorry¡­¡­"

    "No, I said the wrong thing" Yi'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhang Liao.

    Just when the two were in a stalemate, Zhang Susu's calm voice came from behind the screen.

    "Yi'er, I don't need your service here anymore. Just help that incompetent general out and apply some medicine on him as you did before. I just felt so weak"

    "Yes, miss" Yi'er whispered back.

    "Wen Yuan, don't take your anger out on her, otherwise, I will fall out"

    "Huh!" With a cold snort, Zhang Liao walked away with Yi'er following closely behind him.

    Listening to the footsteps of the two people gradually walking away, Zhang Susu shook her head helplessly, lying on her back in the pool with her eyes closed to rest.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but a maid hurriedly walked in outside the palace, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace who wants to see you"

    "who?"

    "I don't know, it's a woman with her husband"

    "Oh?" Zhang Susu, who was a little dazed in the warm pool water, said strangely with an astonished expression on her face, "What? Do you think my Prime Minister's Mansion is a yamen that takes care of housework?"

    "The woman said that her husband's name is Chen Su"

    "Hooray!"

    Along with the sound of water, Zhang Susu suddenly stood up from the pool, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at the maid in confusion, and the expression on her face almost changed.
