Chapter 6854 Suppression

Chapter 6854 Suppression
While Zhang Huang and his group were undergoing the physical examination, Zhao Zhen had already slipped to the Xuanwu Gate as quickly as possible. As soon as he arrived, he heard Li Zhe explaining how to adjust and improve the talent structure.

"My fellow brothers, I really can't explain this Infinite Transformation very well, but I used to be able to rely on the talent tree to twist and adjust my talents. After having Infinite Transformation, I have a deeper understanding of this adjustment and twisting. I can tell you about this, which can be regarded as filling in some gaps." Li Zhe really couldn't understand Infinite Transformation. He knew what it was but not why it was. However, Li Zhe still understood a little about other advanced and useful things.

You should know that there are actually some differences between Li Zhe's infinite transformation and Elias's infinite transformation. Elias relied on the fourteen combinations to forcibly complete the smelting. He had no idea about the internal links. But Li Zhe was different. Before completing the infinite transformation, Li Zhe could actually rely on his own understanding of the talent tree to adjust his talents.

In other words, at that time, Li Zhe adjusted his talents more by relying on the relationship between himself and his talents.

Now that he has infinite changes, Li Zhe has a deeper understanding of the transformation and connection between talents.

"First of all, you need to eliminate your own stereotyped perception of talent. Don't think that talent is talent, and don't think that the effect of a certain talent is a certain effect. In fact, talent is not as stable as you imagine." Li Zhe raised his thumb and spoke very seriously.

"Talent is the actual feedback of collective will in the clouds and the essence of heaven and earth. Therefore, in a group, the effect of talent is stable, because the cognition of a group of people can be stabilized at a relatively balanced level." Li Zhe smiled and explained with the light and shadow talent, and then his face became serious. "The essence of refining talent is that we transform our own will into collective will. These two sound similar, but in fact the difference is almost immeasurable."

Zhao Zhen, Yang Tuo, Zheng Ke, Wang Liang and other top or former top-level sixth-level smelters all nodded silently when they heard what Li Zhe said. At their level, they had almost realized this point. On the contrary, most of the fifth-level smelting veterans were confused.

"Individuals are unique. When it comes to the so-called transformation into collective will, there are still slight differences. In addition, almost all talents show different degrees of idealism in the process of smelting, and idealism is essentially the interference of self-will with reality." Li Zhe honestly talked about his research and understanding of talent over the past 30 years.

"So the talents that each person refines are essentially different, because there is an additional variable that has a very large impact in the smelting process, and that is the interference of our self-consciousness with reality." While speaking, Li Zhe used Infinite Transformation to bring out the muscle defense talent that was used by the most people present. Compared to adaptive training, muscle defense is a talent that increases basic qualities and defensive capabilities, and it does not take too long to refine. Many veterans have it.

Li Zhe pointed at his big arm and began to explain, and the veteran who possessed strong defense and had reached a very high level had already realized the difference at this time.

"So Brother Nan has transformed muscle defense into mental defense. This process is essentially the in-depth development of talent smelting. He has broken through the original limit of talent and entered a new talent. Of course, this is not because mental defense is stronger than muscle defense. It can only be said that for some people, mental defense is more suitable." Li Zhe tried hard to explain with gestures. There were also several people present who had experienced the situation where their talents changed while smelting, so they could understand it.

“For the collective, there are differences in talent, but for individual smelting, talent is actually more of a matter of suitability. Because if a certain talent is suitable, it will constantly adapt and adjust during your smelting process, and then demonstrate a level far beyond its previous level.” Li Zhe pointed to a few more veterans, and with them as a comparison, the others also had this understanding.

After all, even if they have the same talent, it is abnormal for some people to be very strong. This is not a matter of talent, but individual differences.

"Then there is the transformation of similar talents, from one talent to another. This kind of thing has happened to some people before." Li Zhe pointed at Zhao Zhen, "The so-called power collapse is actually a special combination of power liberation and rage. There may be some other details, but that's basically it. This talent does not exist."

Zhao Zhen nodded when he heard this. "There may be other talents called power collapse, which have similar effects, but before me, the power collapse that I am using now did not exist. If it is the power collapse that once existed, I can actually use it at will now."

"Well, this is a targeted expansion of the talent you have mastered, but this is not recommended. If you take the initiative to do this, if you don't have a deep grasp of the talent, it's easy to kill yourself. You all know what Lao Zhao is like, so don't mess around." Li Zhe warned the veterans, "In short, when refining talents, other people's talents are for reference, because the finished products are only approximate."

Li Zhe tried his best to talk about the knowledge he mastered, so that the brothers who came to listen could have a systematic understanding of talent smelting. Although this knowledge is useless to some people, on the other hand, knowledge is something that may be used at some time.

The next morning, Chen Xi got up early, which was unusual for him. After all, the Taichang had urgently notified the Princess and the three dukes and nine ministers last night, saying that General Huangfu had arrived at Gaoling Post Station. As an officer who had been on the battlefield for several years, he had returned victoriously this time, so he had to be welcomed outside the city no matter what.

So Chen Xi got up from Zhen Mi's place before daybreak. It was supposed to snow heavily today, but considering the welcoming ceremony, Li You, who was on duty last night, had teamed up with Jiang Wan to disperse the cumulus clouds within a radius of 100 miles so that Chang'an could be bathed in daylight.

"Husband..." Zhen Mi got up in a daze and prepared to dress Chen Xi, but was pushed down by Chen Xi. Chen Xi was already an adult, and even if his personal maid had moved out, it was not so bad that he could not even put on his clothes. Besides, he could just wrap himself in the inner clothes, and the maid would put on the rest of the outer clothes.

"You take a rest first. I probably won't be back until evening. I have a lot to do today." Chen Xi said with some emotion. After all, Huangfu Song had returned. In addition to welcoming him, there would definitely be banquets and food. Although not many people had returned with Huangfu Song before, the procedures still had to be followed. It was a pity that there was no offering of prisoners this time. Odin's side were all aliens, and he couldn't capture Romans. That would be funny.

After arranging Zhen Mi, Chen Xi, with the help of his maid, put on the standard robes of a marquis. To be honest, Chen Xi has only worn them a few times since they were made.

They went out and got on the car, first gathering at the Weiyang Palace, and then, under the leadership of Liu Tong, went to the Xuanwu Gate to welcome Huangfu Song who was returning from the north.

"Your Highness the Princess looks heroic today." When they arrived at the Weiyang Palace, Chen Xi looked at Liu Tong in a dark red formal suit and Si Niang with a solemn face, and said to Li You with a smile. It was rare to see Liu Tong dressed so formally, but it made sense when he thought about it. Over the years of the Yuanfeng Dynasty, how many times had Liu Tong received officers and soldiers returning from victory?

What's more, with Huangfu Song's qualifications and status, as well as his contribution to solving the world disaster this time, if he wants to compete, I'm afraid that only the army returning from the Ganges after defeating Kushan next time will be qualified to enjoy a more exaggerated welcoming ceremony than Huangfu Song's current one.

But if you think about it carefully, the army that returned after defeating the Kushans was not the main force, and even whether Guan Yu would return at that time was a huge problem.

Liu Tong looked at the court officials who had already arrived and gave a hint to the Minister of Rites. The deep sound of the chimes began to play. Then a group of court officials got on the carriages or rode horses. And unlike other times, this time, including Chen Xi, everyone wore swords. There was no other way. They were going to greet the military officer and it was a necessary respect.

When Liu Tong and his party arrived at Xuanwu Gate, the area in front of the gate had been tidied up very neatly. Five-colored flags fluttered in the wind. The tall guards selected from the Weiyang Palace were holding bronze ceremonial spears and halberds that shone golden in the morning light.

When Liu Tong's carriage drove out of Xuanwu Gate, the morning light illuminated Liu Tong's dark red wide sleeves, and the whole person was almost bathed in the skylight.

The Twelve Liushus swayed with the slight shaking of the frame. Liu Tong looked indifferently at the dust that was gradually rising in the distance. At this time, Liu Tong did have some majesty of an emperor, which was completely different from the salted fish in Chen Xi's impression.

"I'm here." Si Niang said softly to Liu Tong. As the only concubine with a title in the harem of the Han Dynasty, she is a concubine when nothing happens and a queen when something happens. So at times like this, she enjoys the same treatment of riding in a car as Liu Tong.

In the dust, Huangfu Song took the lead riding a divine horse and leaped out from the horizon. Behind him were scattered soldiers. There were not many of them, but the aura of murderousness and iron-bloodedness covered him from far away. Moreover, compared with Huangfu who was obviously old a few years ago, at this moment, Huangfu Song actually showed some vigor and vitality. He really seemed to be getting younger and younger.

"Your servants, we have fulfilled your mission!" Liu Tong's carriage was speeding up, while Huangfu Song's horse galloping speed was slowing down. Before the two met, at the moment when Liu Tong's carriage stopped, Huangfu Song turned over and dismounted, holding up the tiger talisman and the golden order, and replied in a deep voice.

"Thank you for your hard work, old general." Liu Tong said with a reserved smile, and with these words, the ritual music that Taichang had prepared long ago officially sounded, and Liu Tong, with the help of his attendants, got off the car and walked to the side of Huangfu Song, helped Huangfu Song up, and then helped Huangfu Song onto another prepared chariot. How to say it, according to etiquette, the emperor should help Huangfu Song onto his own chariot frame, and then the emperor would help to whip him twice...

The problem is that Liu Tong is the eldest princess. If she lets Huangfu Song get on the carriage today, Huangfu Song will have to be carried away tomorrow. As for letting Liu Tong whip the carriage a few times, to be honest, she is afraid that the carriage will overturn.

As Huangfu Song boarded the carriage, the originally deep ritual music suddenly changed. The chimes began a new round of music in response to the sound of the pottery xun, and the three dukes and nine ministers each boarded their carriages and followed the two carriages in front of them. As for the officers beside Huangfu Song, the Minister of Rites arranged for their carriages to follow the front carriage to Weiyang.

"It feels like something is missing without the emperor whipping us." Chen Xi said with some reminiscence while sitting in Liu Bei's carriage, "Ordinarily, the emperor shouldn't whip us at this time. At least he should be whipping us twice, so that the people of Chang'an can see what the victorious soldiers are like and what amazing treatment they are enjoying?"

"Your Highness the Princess cannot drive a car." Liu Bei was silent for a while before saying, "Your Highness does not need to learn the driving skill among the six arts, but you can learn the others."

"..." Chen Xi was silent for a while. It turned out that he really didn't know how to do it.

"By the way, can you drive?" Liu Bei suddenly asked.

"No matter what, I am also from the Yingchuan Chen family. At most, my level is not very good, but I still have to learn the six arts. If I can't even drive, will the Chen family let me go?" Chen Xi said with a pout. Regarding driving, you can say that Chen Xi is not good, but you can't say that Chen Xi can't do it. After all, it is one of the six arts of a gentleman and he must learn it.

"But I haven't driven a car for more than ten years, so I'm afraid I'm not very good at it now." Chen Xi thought for a while and said. He has only driven a car a few times since he woke up from his body, and he's afraid I'm not very good at this skill now.

"That's enough. I don't ask you to drive." Liu Bei said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I promised Princess Yiyang something. When she goes to you with the letter, you should let her go even if it violates the ban."

"The Grand Princess of Yiyang." Chen Xi nodded. "It's okay. I've thought about this issue before. I didn't expect that the other party understands the ways of the world better than I thought."

It is also troublesome for the Grand Princess of Yiyang to keep some favors. The promises of Liu Bei and Chen Xi continue to be valid, but it may not be a good thing to keep dragging them as a trump card. Now according to Liu Bei, the Grand Princess of Yiyang exchanged them for some supplies, which is actually a good thing, whether it is for Kou's Kunwu Kingdom or for Liu Bei and Chen Xi.

"Indeed, the other party is very rational, but I feel that she is too heartbroken and may have collapsed. I have asked a doctor to treat her." Liu Bei recalled the situation when he met the Princess Yiyang, his expression was somewhat complicated.

"If there had been no Kou Feng, no Kou family's Kunwu Kingdom, and no promises made between you and me, it would have been destroyed by now." Chen Xi sighed. According to official history, not long after Kou Jun passed away, Princess Yiyang died. Calculating the time, it is almost time now, so Chen Xi could guess the situation of Princess Yiyang.

"She is just trying to hold on while paving the way for Kou Feng. The death of the former Shangxiang Marquis was a huge blow to her." Chen Xi said with some helplessness, "This is a heart disease, and the medicine for it is gone. According to the current situation, she can only hold on until Kou Feng gives birth to the child."

"Then give me more?" Liu Bei suddenly said.

"I'll give it to you based on the list. Besides, Kou Feng, under the guidance of General Huangfu, will be the main force in destroying the Kushan Empire. It's also OK to use it as a frontier fortress." Chen Xi said indifferently, "In this case, it's completely reasonable to give some things. As for other people's opinions at that time, it's just that the battle is over but the supplies are not used up."

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this. This idea was indeed good, but it was only Chen Xi's.

"Speaking of which, how are you guys managing the secret realm of the small world? There have been a lot of fights in Chang'an now. I've been patrolling in Chang'an every day recently and haven't been going to other places. The conflicts between the veterans in various states are actually quite serious." Liu Bei sighed and said, "Fortunately, they are still somewhat rational, but challenging each other has become the norm."

"Aren't we preparing for it? In addition to distributing some supplies and taking stock of the forces we have on hand, isn't the purpose of this large-scale martial arts exercise to settle some grudges?" Chen Xi was also helpless. Now even Chen Xi knew about the fights among the old soldiers in Chang'an. Jingzhao Yin Wang Yi had reported it several times. After all, unlike other times when Wang Yi was able to suppress the fights, the current fights even involved guys who were only one or two levels lower than Wang Yi.

That’s right, it was not just one person, but a group of people fighting. Wang Yi and the Chang’an Guards couldn’t even beat this group of people. If the country’s laws were not majestic enough, this group of people would even dare to beat the Chang’an Guards and then run away. After all, they were not vegetarians, and many of the Chang’an Guards were their younger brothers.

"The veterans in Yuzhou and Yangzhou are fighting among themselves. This is very confusing." Liu Bei said with some doubts. The veterans in other places are actively calling on their friends to fight with veterans from other states and counties. Even if there are some conflicts within their own states, they are generally considered a whole when fighting with veterans from other states. However, the veterans in Yangzhou are even fighting among themselves according to counties.

"Ah, it's not a big problem. There aren't many veterans in Yangzhou anyway." Chen Xi had a speechless expression on his face. "But I really have to trouble Lord Xuande recently. I heard that some time ago, someone climbed over the wall into the Roman embassy and beat up the Roman veterans?"

"Yes, Nerva seems to have defeated many veteran soldiers of the Han Dynasty in Mesopotamia. But when I went to see him, I felt that his age was not enough to defeat many veteran soldiers in Mesopotamia. He looked to be in his thirties, probably less than forty years old." Liu Bei said with some doubt.

"Maybe it's his brother or directly. Talents like Oath Binding, Life Marking, Endless Serpent, etc. can produce young top veterans." Chen Xi said calmly, and then lifted the curtain on Liu Bei's carriage. At this time, there were quite a few Han people watching on both sides of Xuanwu Street.

"Uh, Wang Mao is here too?" Liu Bei also looked in the direction of Chen Xi's car curtain, and then saw a group of familiar people, and especially Wang Mao.

"Xiao Mao!" When Liu Bei saw Wang Mao, Guangyuan and his party had already received injections in the special kitchen of the Shaofu, had a good meal, and then ran out to exercise. When they came along Xuanwu Street to watch Huangfu Song enter the city, Guangyuan and Zhang Huang happened to see Wang Mao who was taking care of his son and grandson, and immediately greeted Wang Mao.

Wang Mao heard a familiar voice on the noisy street. Although the two men were called Xiao Mao, the voice sounded familiar, so he looked around. He didn't see the two old guys who had died somewhere unknown, so he felt a little strange. Then, Guang Yuan and Zhang Huang approached him.

"Hehehe, Xiao Mao!" Zhang Huang and Guang Yuan held Wang Mao's shoulders on the left and right, while Wang Mao looked at Guang Yuan and Zhang Huang woodenly.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Huang?" Wang Mao looked at Zhang Huang and Guang Yuan's youthful and collagen-filled faces with a somewhat numb expression. But after all, they had known each other for decades, and they were brothers in life and death who had survived a survival rate of 4 in 10,000. He could still see more of what they were like in the past from these two young faces, and he immediately called out to them twice tentatively.

"I thought you didn't recognize us!" Guang Yuan put one hand on his waist and said arrogantly.

"Hurry, hurry, this is your Uncle Guang and Uncle Zhang, call them uncle and grandfather." Wang Mao said while pulling his son and grandson. As soon as he opened his mouth and made a gesture, acquaintances would recognize that these were their old buddies and would immediately greet their children and grandchildren.

After all, Wang Mao's eldest son had met Guangyuan and Zhang Huang. Although his impression of them was not that deep, he could still recognize the two of them when he saw them. He quickly brought his younger brother and nephew to salute them.

"I have nothing, so it's not easy for me to give you a gift when I first arrive." Guang Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly. Wang Mao's big family was very prosperous, which was completely different from the situation of Guang Yuan and Zhang Huang's two or three cats and dogs.

"For you." Zhang Huang took out six Huangshen swords and handed them to Wang Mao. "We don't have any suitable gifts for each other. This thing can be regarded as the ultimate derivative of the sharp warrior's talent. Each sword has the killing power of the fifth level of smelting when no one is driving it. I'll give it to you for self-defense."

"Ah, the ultimate talent of the Sharp Warrior, can this kind of thing be born?" Wang Mao was no longer watching the ceremony of Huangfu Song entering the city. He had brought Zhang Huang and Guang Yuan to a relatively remote corner. Hearing what the two brothers said, Wang Mao's eyes were a little weird. "I am young, don't lie to me. You two lied to me a lot back then. I have reached the eighth level of smelting. Although the oath bondage has collapsed, I am definitely not inferior to you in the path of the Sharp Warrior."

"Xiao Mao, buddy I have to say something, you are young and you still need to practice." Zhang Huang and Guang Yuan looked at each other, then they held down Wang Mao at the same time. Six Yuan Demon Swords and six Huang God Swords flew out of their bodies, standing in the void with powerful might. Wang Mao's expression was incomparably solemn, two old guys!
