Today, Zhao Xun somewhat understands.
Having a group of lovely senior brothers and sisters is a happy worry.
The price for gaining a sense of security is that you have to be with them all the time, and you have to answer even the most speechless questions.
This consumes a lot of energy and requires a lot of time to recover, which are all costs.
But now is not the time to calculate costs. The academy is now Zhao Xun's biggest support, and he must hold tightly to the thighs of his senior brothers and sisters.
As for my mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, he naturally has to divide his energy.
Talisman is not Zhao Xun's specialty, and he needs more time to practice.
In this way, the time Zhao Xun spends in the Yamen will have to be reduced.
Fortunately, there are no major cases to be handled recently.
When Zhao Xun left the Delinquent Office, Wang Cai and Jia Xingwen were helping to keep an eye on him, so Zhao Xun felt relieved.
However, he left the Bad People's Yamen that day not to meet his senior brothers and sisters in the academy, nor to meet his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, but to meet his sweetheart.
Prince Qi's Mansion is now as heavily guarded as Chang'an City.
Taking advantage of King Yan's experience, Prince Qi's palace was filled with practitioners' guards both inside and outside.
If they encounter a suspicious person, they will take action immediately without hesitation.
Of course Zhao Xun is not a suspicious person.
The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion have long been familiar with this red-purple nobleman in Chang'an City.
There is a great possibility that Zhao Xun will become King Qi's son-in-law in the future. Therefore, everyone in the Prince of Qi's palace can't wait to lick Zhao Xun hard.
"Young Master Zhao is here, please come in quickly."
When the concierge saw Zhao Xun coming, he quickly welcomed Zhao Xun in with a smile.
"Are you here to see His Highness the County Lord?"
"Well, His Highness the County Lord is in the palace now?"
"Here, here. The villain will take you there."
…
…
"Bad Zhao Xun, dead Zhao Xun. If you haven't come to see me for so long, you won't fall in love with me anymore, right?"
Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County, looked at the pool of spring water in front of him, but he was in a bad mood.
For a girl, Huaichun is definitely an extremely painful thing.
Thinking of my lover, my heart throbbed.
The feeling of not getting what you want is really killing you.
"If love lasts for a long time, how can it last forever? This sentence sounds reasonable, but how many people can really do it?"
Li Taiping sighed and said, "Zhao Lang, when will you understand a girl's thoughts?"
"Your Highness the County Lord, Your Highness the County Lord!"
At this moment, Li Taiping saw his personal maid running towards her and frowned: "What happened?"
"It's Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao is here."
"What!"
Of course Li Taiping would not consider who this Master Zhao is.
It must be Zhao Lang without a doubt!
Li Taiping stood up impatiently and walked all the way out to greet him.
When she walked to the Moon Gate, she almost bumped into Zhao Xun who was coming towards her.
"Zhao Lang...you are here."
Li Taiping felt a little nervous in his heart, lowered his head slightly and bit his lip tightly.
"I haven't seen you lose weight for a few days."
Zhao Xun stretched out his right hand and gently touched Li Taiping's cheek, and said with some distress.
"Not yet..."
When the words came to his lips, Li Taiping felt a little unable to say them out.
"It's not what you want."
In the end, Li Taiping mustered up the courage to speak his mind.
"Well, that's my fault. I put all my energy into the office and ignored your feelings. Let me make it up to you."
Zhao Xun grabbed Li Taiping's hand and said affectionately: "When the northern barbarians and the Demon Sect are defeated, I will ask my father to formally propose marriage to His Highness King Qi."
"What!"
Li Taiping was taken aback, and his whole face turned red.
"Why is it so sudden? I am not mentally prepared at all."
The reason why Zhao Xun suddenly mentioned this matter to Li Taiping was actually because he was stimulated by the wealth.
Although people like Wangcai may not be upright on weekdays, they can still handle big things clearly.
Wangcai is a few years younger than Zhao Xun, and they are already engaged now. Zhao Xun cannot afford to fall too far behind.
"Isn't this the last step between us? What's so sudden?"
Zhao Xun said with affection and tenderness: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."
"It's so sudden... people are not ready yet."
Li Taiping was a little panicked. Of course she believed that Zhao Xun was deeply and sincerely devoted to him. But the problem was that it was too sudden.
Although Li Taiping was vaguely looking forward to getting married, there had to be a process of relaxation.
"Well, it seems I was too impatient?"
Zhao Xun was really confused.
It's so hard to guess a girl's thoughts, and she can change her face faster than her.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry. It's just..."
“…”
Seeing that Li Taiping was hesitant to speak, Zhao Xun was completely speechless.
Oh my god, please spare me. Is there something you can’t just tell me directly?
It's not the first time they've met, so why are they so hesitant to talk?
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it."
Li Taiping turned away and clasped his fingers, leaving Zhao Xun with his back.
Zhao Xun was numb.
It seems that no matter what era, picking up girls is a technical job.
If you want to successfully pick up girls, you must learn a love guide.
…
…
The two of them sat down one after another in the pavilion, chatting incessantly while feeding the koi in the pond.
"Zhao Lang, do you think we can survive this time? In my impression, Chang'an City has never been under martial law for such a long time. It seems that we are really in big trouble this time."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
At the moment, Zhao Xun has no way to specifically guarantee anything to Li Taiping, but he can give Li Taiping peace of mind.
Chang'an City is defended by hundreds of thousands of troops, and with so many practitioners guarding it, how can it be bullied by prairie barbarians at will?
"Just now you told me that you would propose marriage to my father after Chang'an City is out of trouble. Are you sincere?"
"Of course I mean it. You are the only one in my heart, you know."
Seeing that Li Taiping took the initiative to bring the topic in this direction, Zhao Xun quickly added: "Of course, if you are not ready yet, just pretend that I didn't say it."
"No, I'm ready. I just, I just felt a little..."
Li Taiping's complexion was flushed and his breathing was rapid.
But the more this happened, the more Zhao Xun was moved.
In fact, it was these details that really attracted Li Taiping to him.
There is no pretense in every frown and smile. Just follow your heart. It’s great to follow your heart.
"There shouldn't be any cards set up at my father's place, but it's hard to tell from Grandpa Huang's place."
Zhao Xun frowned.
Is it Emperor Xianlong again?
Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who doesn't want to be a son of man, wouldn't want to ruin his good deeds at this time, right?
Are they really lifelong enemies?
"Emperor Xianlong...Oh no, His Majesty won't stop it, right?"
Zhao Xun spread his hands and said: "Our two families are well matched, I should be worthy of you, right? Does your Majesty think that my status has humiliated the clan daughter?"
"Nonsense, there is no way!"
Li Taiping quits now.
"I won't allow you to humiliate yourself like this."
Although the surname is Li, the emperor and the nobles rule the world together.
The Duke of the Kingdom is already the first rank among the nobility, excluding the royal title.
There were no kings with different surnames in the Zhou Dynasty. If the King of Qi was dissatisfied with Zhao Xun's status as the prince, could he still find a son-in-law from his own relatives?
"Haha, it seems Taiping still cares about me."
"Well…"
Li Taiping lowered his head, feeling a little shy.
Zhao Xun chatted with Li Taiping about the romantic and snowy night, and the time passed quite quickly.
After about an hour, the sky gradually darkened.
Zhao Xun stood up reluctantly and said, "I have to go back to the Yamen."
"Zhao Lang..."
"Don't worry, I'll come to see you in a few days. If our love lasts forever, how can we stay together day and night?"
"Um…"
…
…
After coming out of Prince Qi's Mansion, Zhao Xun went straight to the Bad Guy's Yamen, but on the way back to the Yamen, he met Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi.
"Teacher? Why are you here?"
"My dear disciple, haven't you noticed that the great formation in this city has become much weaker?"
"Well…"
Zhao Xun thought to himself that he really hadn't noticed this change.
Although his mentor has begun to teach him the talisman formation technique, Zhao Xun has only learned a superficial knowledge so far.
In addition, because of his low level of cultivation, he is currently unable to sense the changes in the Chang'an Talisman Array.
But my mentor Wu Quanyi is different.
My mentor is a second-grade practitioner and a member of the Taoist sect.
He is extremely sensitive to changes in the talisman array. If the talisman array really becomes weak, his mentor will be able to sense it immediately.
"So, what do you think the reason is, mentor?"
"Of course someone in the city is secretly sabotaging it."
Taoist Priest Qinglian said without hesitation.
"Is this person from the Demon Sect?"
"pretty close."
"So the Demon Sect's secret chess in Chang'an City has not been cleared yet..."
"certainly…"
After the master-disciple conversation, Zhao Xun felt a lot heavier.
According to the current situation, the number of Demon Sect members in Chang'an City is far greater than he imagined. If this continues, it will be impossible to eradicate all these dark chessmen in a short period of time.
When the war starts, the city will be on fire...
"These guys are destroying the talisman formation. When the war starts, they will definitely do their best to destroy it."
Zhao Xun clenched his fists angrily.
Now his hatred for the Demon Sect has reached its peak.
Because the Demon Sect’s target is not just Emperor Xianlong, not just the royal family and the nobility.
They also extended their claws to the defenseless people.
This is Zhao Xun's bottom line, and he absolutely cannot accept it.
"Teacher, can the talisman array be repaired?"
"Of course. The talisman array was set up by people, and of course it can be repaired. Even if these demon sect practitioners don't destroy it artificially, there will definitely be wear and tear over the years."
After a pause, Wu Quanyi continued: "But first you have to find the damaged area of the formation, and then you can repair it accordingly."
"Well…"
Sure enough, the difficulty lies here.
The enemy is in the dark, but we are in the light.
The enemy struck first, and Zhao Xun and others could only respond passively.
This is a step slower.
If the location of the destroyed formation cannot be accurately determined, the next problem will be even more difficult to solve.
"So, my mentor, you have been wandering around the streets of Chang'an City these days just to find out where the talisman array has been damaged and repair it?"
"Yes."
Wu Quanyi nodded.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Although he knew that his knowledge was still shallow, Zhao Xun still hoped to be able to help.
"If you really want to help, inform the bad guys to go to various Dafang City locations to observe. See if there is any loss."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Chang'an City is so big, how long will it take for the teacher to check the wear and tear of the talisman array alone?
There is more power when there are more people. One more person means more effort, which is always a good thing.
…
…
"Brother Jia, Wangcai sent a message to ask everyone in the yamen to go to the array points in each Dafang District to observe whether there is any loss of the talisman array."
"Ah, brother Mingyun, what are you doing?"
Wangcai looked surprised.
"I met my mentor on the way back to the Yamen. My mentor said that the formation guarding Chang'an City has recently suffered serious damage. It should be deliberately sabotaged by someone."
Zhao Xun said worriedly.
"hiss…"
The little fat man gasped.
"It seems that he is probably a practitioner of the Demon Sect."
"good."
Zhao Xun was also helpless.
"What we can do now is to find the damaged parts as much as possible and repair them. It's too slow to rely on the mentor alone. So I want to mobilize all the bad guys."
"Ahem..."
Jia Xingwen finally understood the cause and effect.
"But Mingyun, have you ever understood that this is actually not the job of a delinquent. You are still relatively young, and those purple-robed delinquents are already dissatisfied with you. If they use the topic to their advantage, what should they do with all kinds of criticisms against you?
good?"
Zhao Xun has actually considered this issue a long time ago.
He had been holding back all this time because he was really worried about those old purple-robed delinquents.
But now he won't worry anymore.
Zhao Xun took out a piece of paper from nowhere.
"This is a handwritten letter from Mr. Feng, the bad handsome man, who used the teleportation technique from Shazhou. In the letter, Mr. Feng clarified my responsibilities. I am now the acting bad handsome man approved by the court and Mr. Feng. Those people are honest and honest.
That’s fine, if they are dishonest and want to make small moves, then don’t blame me for not caring about my colleagues.”
A stern look flashed in Zhao Xun's eyes: "I never cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. If I mess with anyone, I will kill him. I will kill him."
After almost a year of experience, Zhao Xun understood one thing, that is, you must not be timid when serving as an official in the government.
If people think you are a soft persimmon, the other party will take advantage of you and take advantage of you.
The court is the same as nature, both are natural selection and survival of the fittest.
This is a world of the weak and the strong, and giving in is tantamount to giving up.
If you want to protect yourself and the people you cherish, you must learn to be strong.
"Okay, now that you have made your decision, we will definitely support you with our full support. But don't just take out Mr. Feng's handwriting right away. You can first see who is ambitious."
Jia Xingwen has been among delinquents for much longer than Zhao Xun, and he is more aware of the complex interpersonal relationships in the delinquent yamen.
In fact, he could roughly guess who would jump out and do harm to Zhao Xun.
But it's one thing to be clear, and another to be truly certain.
After all, no one who can reach a high position is a fuel-efficient lamp.
These guys are like venomous snakes. They usually hide themselves very well, but only when they need a fatal blow will they spit out their poisonous snakes and bite them fiercely.
