Seeing Xu Fengnian's nervous and cautious look, Zhou You, who was somewhat helpless, took action to refine the medicine for Xu Zhihu.

The process was relatively smooth, but when he felt the effect of the medicinal power in Xu Zhihu's body, Zhou You couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He had specially refined the life-extending elixir. Although it was not as effective as the longevity elixir, it could help.

There is no problem for ordinary people to extend their life span by 20 to 30 years, but it seems to be greatly reduced for Xu Zhihu. Is there really someone in this world who is jealous of the beauty's physique? Xu Zhihu's fate...

How can I put it, Xu Zhihu's life seems to be jealous of God, causing him to consume his energy and blood faster than ordinary people. It's like other people's lives are like candles burning slowly, but her life is like a burning fire cooking oil.

About to run out.

Under this situation, even if Zhou You gave her life-extending elixirs, the effect would be greatly reduced and she would only be able to survive for a few more years at most.

Unless Zhou You is willing to let her take the elixir refined with dragon essence, she may be able to live a long life. Otherwise, just let her embark on the path of cultivation, and ordinary cultivation methods will probably not work. It is best to have a life extension method.

Effective cultivation methods can also solve problems.

However, from the fact that Xu Zhihu is not a martial arts master, it can be seen that her cultivation talent is probably not very good. It is probably difficult to find a cultivation method suitable for her.

Of course, there is no need to worry about these things. When the man from Wudang Mountain succeeds in practice and awakens his past life memories, he will naturally try his best to extend Xu Zhihu's life. Why should he worry about it?

In the evening after leaving Yangcheng, Jiang Ni, who had just left with Cao Changqing yesterday, quietly returned to the convoy with Yu Youwei.

"Huh?" At the same time that Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei came back, Zhou You, who had closed his eyes to rest in the carriage, also opened his eyes in slight surprise: "Cao Changqing? He actually took the initiative to ask me to have a talk. It seems like it saves me the trouble of having to deal with it.

Go find him!"

Zhou You quietly left the motorcade and soon saw Cao Changqing standing with his hands behind his hands in the wilderness under the dim sky. When Cao Changqing saw Zhou You, he stretched out his hand to signal and sat down cross-legged. In front of him was a chessboard.

"Mr. Cao called me here, do you want to play chess?" He walked over and saw the chess board, and raised his eyebrows slightly, but Cao Changqing was noncommittal: "Life is a chess game. I wonder if Mr. Zhou intends to use the world as a chess board?"

"Of course! Otherwise, I can just be a free man, so why would I need to enter the chess game?" Zhou You nodded with a smile and stepped forward to sit down.

Seeing that Cao Changqing had made the first move, Zhou You couldn't help but said: "Mr. Cao is known as the invincible official, and his chess skills are unparalleled in the world. Unexpectedly, he still wants to take the lead when playing chess with me. Is this bullying me for not being good at chess?"

"In the chess game, if you want to win, you must fight for every move. I am not as young as the young master. If I don't seize some opportunities, I'm afraid it will be difficult to play chess." Cao Changqing's words made Zhou You laugh dumbly, and then he said something profound.

He said like this: "If you make one wrong move in this move, you will make mistakes every step of the way! But if you play it correctly and accurately, maybe just a few pieces can determine the victory!"

"Young Master is very confident, so I have to be the first. If I make a mistake, I will have a chance to correct it. Otherwise, I will be completely defeated." Cao Changqing said, "Besides, why didn't Young Master make the move first?"

"Everyone is making moves and playing the chess they think is correct. The world is just a chaotic chess game, and there is no clue for a while." Zhou You smiled noncommittally and started playing chess with Cao Changqing: "Mr. Cao, what do you think?"

How to make sense of this chaotic chess game?"

"Although the chess game is chaotic, as the chess game unfolds and the parties collide, the number of chess pieces will always increase and decrease. Someone will enter the game and someone will be eliminated. There will always be a time when the situation becomes clear," Cao Changqing continued.

"Haha... Mr. Cao is right, but when the situation becomes clear, there may be no chance to make a move," Zhou You laughed: "Mr. Cao should be gathering the old Chu troops in Xishu, right? Maybe, I can

Give us a helping hand.”

"What can you do for me, Master?" Cao Changqing asked back. He casually said directly: "Ordnance, food, grass, and even men and horses... whatever Mr. Cao needs, as long as I can provide it to you, there will be no problem."

"Then what do we need to pay?" Cao Changqing, who paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou You: "Or Mr. Zhou, what do you want?"

"I want Xishu!" Zhou You said without hesitation: "After you raise troops and take back the Chu land, you need to hand over Xishu to me. Before that, we can work together to build Xishu and help each other. I

I believe that with you, Cao Changqing, taking action and the appeal of Jiang Ni, the Princess of Western Chu, it should not be difficult for us to take control of Western Shu. Only with Western Shu, the land of abundance, can we have the confidence to fight against the Liyang Dynasty."

"Even without the Young Master, we can win Xishu, why do we have to cooperate with the Young Master?" Cao Changqing asked rhetorically.

"Because we are all interested in Xishu," Zhou You said noncommittally: "Does Mr. Cao want to compete with me and let the Liyang Dynasty reap the benefits, or does he want to cooperate with me and cause the Liyang Dynasty even more headaches?

"

Cao Changqing was silent. He held the chess pieces for a long time and then said, "Okay, I can temporarily cooperate with you, young master, to plot Western Shu."

The two of them were testing each other's details while chatting. The layout of the chess game was getting bigger and bigger. Before the results were determined, the two of them suddenly felt something and subconsciously turned their heads to look into the distance.

"What's going on? Someone wants to kill Xu Fengnian again?" Cao Changqing, who was frowning, was about to get up and go over, but Zhou You continued to say: "Don't worry, there is a bright moon, Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei will be fine. I'll go back

Just one trip is enough. Li Chungang is here and nothing will happen to Xu Fengnian. But this journey is endless. It seems that I have to kill someone to establish my authority. Otherwise, everyone will think that I am good-tempered when traveling around.

Yeah! I can tolerate the flies buzzing in my ears all the time."

After saying that, the figure wandered around in an illusion and disappeared quickly. The ghostly movement speed also made Cao Changqing look moved. He was worthy of being a peerless evildoer who entered the realm of land gods at such a young age. He was chosen to cooperate.

I don’t know whether the object is right or wrong.

On top of a cliff, Xu Fengnian was talking to Li Chungang. When he saw Zhou You falling from the sky, he couldn't help but said: "Zhou You, where did you go? I was almost killed in a plot!"

"It seems that if I weren't by your side, you would have been plotted and killed sooner or later," Zhou You said with a joking smile: "Looking at you like this, you should be fine. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Being with me

How can you behave well even if you get a bargain here?"

"I..." Xu Fengnian was stunned when he heard this, and then pointed to the book in Li Chungang's hand and said: "Zhou You, someone used this to plot against me. You are very good at controlling people's minds, but have you ever heard of anyone who can

Are you using books to harm people?"

"You don't have to use books and albums to harm people. You can also use other items. The key is to be able to make a person's mood fluctuate and stir up his mind. But in the end, this method of using external forces to influence a person's mind is just a witherworm.

It's just a small skill. People who learn this method can't get on the big stage." Zhou You shook his head and turned to look at Li Chungang and said: "Li Jian Shen has been famous for a long time and knows more about various sects in the world. Have you ever heard of this?

Is there anyone who is good at using this method to harm others?"
