Ah this
Zhao Xun was a little confused for a moment.
Think of the third senior brother as his enemy?
There's something he can't do.
After all, the third senior brother has always been very kind to him, treating Zhao Xun like a biological brother.
For Zhao Xun to be where he is today, it can be said that the chief of the mountain is in the first place, Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi can be ranked second, and the third position will undoubtedly be occupied by the third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Zhao Xun is really grateful to the third senior brother.
But he also knows that the third senior brother is just a sparring partner for him now. If he wants to practice the restraint technique well, the best way is to treat the third senior brother as an imaginary enemy and then use all his strength.
Only in this way can Zhao Xun be worthy of the efforts of the third senior brother.
"good!"
Zhao Xun took a deep breath and said calmly.
He tried hard to connect the bamboo raft-like zhenqi beams he had just strung together, and then suddenly charged towards his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Third senior brother Long Qingquan had no intention of dodge at all and stood straight there!
like a statue!
hiss.
Third senior brother is going to use himself as an experiment. He really has a fearless spirit.
Zhao Xun thought to himself that with his current level of cultivation, he shouldn't be able to hurt his third senior brother, right?
Sure enough, when Zhao Xun's roaring beam of true energy suddenly impacted the body of Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, a huge beam of light visible to the naked eye emanated from Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's body.
Just like the sun shooting out thousands of rays!
Tsk tsk, it seems that his blow was quite powerful.
The light was so bright that it could blind people's eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Xun felt the powerful Gang Qi reflected directly towards his body.
Well!
Zhao Xun subconsciously waved his hand to block it, but the effect was not ideal.
The powerful Gang Qi instantly overturned Zhao Xun.
In an instant, Zhao Xun flew dozens of steps away and hit a bamboo hard before stopping!
"Junior brother, are you okay?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Well, third senior brother, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Zhao Xun hurriedly patted his butt and stood up. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I had expected this result. My cultivation level is two levels different from that of the third senior brother. How can I restrain the third senior brother?"
Maybe? It's just that I really didn't expect that the Gang Qi reflected by the third senior brother was so powerful, and my whole body was instantly blown away."
"Oh, it's not me who said that your restraint technique was too soft."
Seeing that junior brother Zhao Xun was fine, third senior brother Long Qingquan began to scold him.
"Look, how can you be like this with the restraint technique? Although the restraint technique relies on softness to overcome toughness, you also have to use your momentum. In a master's duel, let's not talk about moves and so on. You have to use your momentum.
.As long as you have momentum, you can suppress your opponent at the beginning, and the subsequent series of operations will be easy. On the contrary, if you lack momentum, you will be suppressed by your opponent in turn."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan also knew that no one was willing to listen to preaching, but Zhao Xun was still in the stage of long-term cultivation after all, and he still had to be responsible for Zhao Xun.
If he didn't say these words, Long Qingquan would still feel bad if Zhao Xun took a detour in the future.
So whether Zhao Xun is willing to listen or not, Long Qingquan has to say these words.
He said at least he won't regret it.
As for what Zhao Xun would think and whether he had other thoughts about him, that was not Long Qingquan's business to consider.
"I understand, Third Senior Brother, let's come again."
Zhao Xun is also a character who refuses to admit defeat.
Since you are going to come, then come quickly.
He thought about it and realized that he did not have enough momentum when he cast the binding spell just now.
And the momentum of Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan obviously overshadowed him.
From the very beginning, Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan stood there firmly, as if he was determined to kill Zhao Xun.
But this time, Zhao Xun has obviously learned enough lessons and will not make the same mistakes again.
"rise!"
Zhao Xun shouted loudly and gathered together the dissipated Qi skills again.
"go!"
Then there was another loud shout, and the gathered Qi technique shot towards Long Qingquan like a sharp arrow.
This time, both the explosive power and speed were dozens of times stronger than the last time.
After learning from the experience, Zhao Xun will no longer hold back his strength.
"Lock!"
When the zhenqi beam arrived around Long Qingquan, Zhao Xun directly shouted the binding curse without giving Long Qingquan a chance to react.
The power of this spell is that it can respond the moment the caster finishes chanting the spell.
Long Qingquan did not react.
The strategy he adopts is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing situations.
No matter what method Zhao Xun uses, he will wait for Zhao Xun to finish casting the spell before responding.
It's just that this time the pressure he faced was obviously much greater than before, because this time Zhao Xun tried his best.
Can this lock with all its strength be able to lock Long Qingquan?
The answer is of course no!
"break!"
When Long Qingquan saw that his junior brother had finished casting the spell, he shouted loudly.
Incomparably powerful Haoran Qi burst out from his whole body and swept through the nearby bamboos in an instant.
All the bamboos around Longqing Spring instantly stood up from the ground and flew into the air.
Well.
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.
Isn't this too strong?
Why is Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan so strong?
"I'm willing to bow down to you, third senior brother, I'm willing to bow down to you."
Zhao Xun was convinced of the defeat.
If it was the first time that he was careless because he was unprepared.
But the next time, Zhao Xun used all his strength to suck the milk.
But despite this, he still couldn't defeat third senior brother Long Qingquan's defense.
Even the third senior brother Long Qingquan didn't use his full strength.
He has been waiting, waiting for Zhao Xun to complete the entire process of casting the spell.
In fact, in actual combat, it is impossible for the opponent to give Zhao Xun this opportunity.
The opponent will catch every mistake of Zhao Xun, even every mistake and omission of Zhao Xun, and then kill him.
There is no room for error in a duel between practitioners.
This is more cruel than the general duel between knights and knights.
Because the explosive power of practitioners is several times that of ordinary knights, it is almost the difference between high martial arts and low martial arts.
"Third Senior Brother, is there anything wrong with what I just did?"
"Actually not."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Young junior brother, you have done very well. You have almost achieved the ultimate level of what you can do. Just now, you handled every detail just right, but there is a big gap between your level and mine.
Big. If you just met a third-grade practitioner, I think you have a high chance of restraining him."
This is too desperate.
The most desperate thing in life is this. Although you have tried your best, you just can't defeat the opponent.
This is of course because the level gap is too large.
Although it is said that Confucian practitioners can cross borders and defeat their opponents, their realms cannot differ too much.
Not to mention that the third senior brother Long Qingquan is also a Confucian practitioner, which offsets Zhao Xun's advantage in this aspect.
Of course, it is definitely a good thing for Zhao Xun to clearly realize the gap between the two sides through this battle.
Because it is better to find problems in this kind of sparring than in actual combat.
When a problem is discovered in the actual duel, it is really a matter of life and death, and there may not be time to correct it.
"Third Senior Brother, how far am I from the Third Grade?"
Although Zhao Xun had just been promoted to the fourth rank, he still wanted to know the answer to this question.
When Zhao Xun was at a low level, this feeling was not very strong, but now that he has reached a high level, Zhao Xun feels that the road to cultivation is extremely difficult.
There are people outside and there are mountains outside the mountains.
Sometimes you think you are strong, but in fact there are people far stronger than you.
Taking the fourth grade as an example, it is just a threshold for a high-level cultivating group. But in fact, there are many fourth-grade practitioners in Chang'an City alone. Not only fourth-grade practitioners but even third-grade practitioners cannot transcend the ordinary and become saints.
That's why there is such a widely circulated slang - the third grade is everywhere, the fourth grade is not as good as a dog.
Zhao Xun knew that since he established his foundation and entered the ninth level, he has jumped several levels in a row, which is comparable to the speed of an unparalleled genius.
But it's not enough.
Now that the enemy is approaching, although the mountain chief has recovered, it is only a guarantee.
Moreover, it is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. At critical moments, it is safer to rely on yourself.
Zhao Xun didn't want him to die just because the mountain chief was distracted and didn't take care of him.
That would be too unfair.
Zhao Xun has managed to survive until now. Now that he has come to this world, he must try his best to survive.
Therefore, he must seize every opportunity to improve his cultivation level and must not slack off at all.
"You are now at level three."
The third senior brother held his chin and showed his signature move.
"I think it will probably take more than a month. Of course, it's not necessarily the case. If a fierce battle can stimulate your potential and bring out your subjectivity to the greatest extent, half a month is possible."
Well.
This really isn't that long.
But this was not the result Zhao Xun wanted.
Because he hopes to reach the third level before foreign enemies invade.
And one month was too long. He didn't think that these expeditioners from the Erenlohr continent who were eager to rule the world would wait for a month.
They must have rushed to Chang'an City in a hurry, wanting to take over the world.
And if it is half a month, it is almost the same, but the problem is that Zhao Xun always feels too hasty when fighting and breaking through. He even doesn't know what the third-level skills are, so he will be in a hurry.
Alas, it is too difficult for him.
Of course, Zhao Xun also knew that he could not do anything to encourage others. If at this time he forced his third senior brother to send him zhenqi to help him break through the realm, not to mention whether the zhenqi he was fed could be fully absorbed, even if he could, that would be
Go against the grain.
This kind of thing can happen once or twice. If you do it every time, God will probably not be able to stand it anymore, right?
Zhao Xun finally traveled through time and returned to the Son of Luck, but he didn't want to lose this good luck in a daze.
"Okay, let's take it slow. Anyway, with Third Senior Brother here, I believe my level will improve very quickly."
Zhao Xun was exhausted today, and he urgently needed to rest for a while to regain his strength.
In Zhao Xun's opinion, the fastest way to restore vitality is to take a bath, that is, to soak in a hot spring.
The hot springs in Zhongnan Mountain are quite famous.
When Cheng Guogong and his family first introduced hot springs to their courtyard in Zhongnan Mountain, in Zhao Xun's memory, their family always went to Zhongnan Mountain for a short period of time every year, mainly to soak in the hot springs.
The location occupied by Haoran Academy is the best location in Zhongnan Mountain, and the hot springs they introduced are naturally the best hot springs.
The refreshing feeling when Zhao Xun jumped into the hot spring pool wearing only shorts
Ah, don't mention how cool it is.
Of course, Zhao Xun is not alone.
At this time, accompanying Zhao Xun in the bath were the Sixth Senior Brother, the Tenth Senior Brother, and Zhao Xun's favorite Third Senior Brother.
People often say that the most precious friendship in the world is having a best friend who can take a bath with you at any time.
And now Zhao Xun has achieved what he calls the freedom of taking a bath.
This is still a pretty important thing.
Because when taking a bath, people can let go of everything, no longer need to be troubled by worldly things, but can enjoy the present moment wholeheartedly.
After a whole day of hard training, Zhao Xun just wants to lie down.
It's a pity that no one can help me take a bath, otherwise it would be so refreshing.
"Junior brother, sometimes I always feel that you are very lucky. You met the right person at the best age."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan suddenly spoke up, and Zhao Xun was startled as soon as he spoke.
Damn it, what kind of routine is this? Can you please stop serving chicken soup for the soul as soon as it starts? Brother, I can’t bear it.
"Third Senior Brother, you mean that the most right person is a woman? Is that right?"
"Of course. If I'm not a woman, am I still a man?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan rolled his eyes and said.
Well, Zhao Xun was indeed negligent.
For an old bacon, er, preserved meat, like Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan, not being able to find a girl should be a permanent pain in his heart, right?
"Actually, it's not that good of a match. Lord Yonghe County was originally a good match for me, but once the incident of me killing King Wei came out, there might be no possibility between the two of us, right?"
Zhao Xun was certainly not an arrogant person. He knew very well what it meant for him to kill King Wei. It not only meant that he had broken with Emperor Xianlong, but it even meant that King Qi had to stay away from him.
Although King Li Xiang of Qi might be very grateful to Zhao Xun for killing King Wei, he could not show it on his face.
In order to draw a clear line with Zhao Xun, Qi King Li Xiang could not allow his beloved daughter Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County, to marry Zhao Xun.
This is a slap in the face of his father, Emperor Xianlong.
If King Qi still has any intention of competing for the throne, then he must completely draw a clear line with Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun saw this very clearly, so he directly took his family to live in Zhongnanshan Academy.
It was said that this was a short stay, and Zhao Xun knew that it would not be over until a year and a half later.
The best way to bring this matter to a complete end is for Emperor Xianlong to suddenly pass away.
As long as Emperor Xianlong dies, all subsequent problems will be solved.
But now it seems that this is obviously unrealistic.
"Well, just pretend I didn't say that."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan realized that he had said something wrong and quickly went back to make amends.
"That's all, I've looked past this matter. I can only say that I have a fate with the Lord of Yonghe County."
Of course Zhao Xun was disappointed. But so what if he was disappointed?
With his current strength, even if he wanted Emperor Xianlong to be "killed", he couldn't do it.
Although the mountain chief gave Emperor Xianlong a warning, it was unlikely that he would directly kill the king.
It is still unknown how many years and months it will take Zhao Xun to achieve this on his own strength.
As long as Emperor Xianlong does not die, there will be no chance for him and Li Taiping, the lord of Yonghe County.
"Tell me something happy. I'm afraid your second senior sister and the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal are about to have something good happen."
"What?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan's sudden change of subject really frightened Zhao Xun.
A few days ago, wasn't the Second Senior Sister having a quarrel with Yao Yan, the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal? Why did they suddenly make up?
Damn it, this pair of crazy man and woman complaining about their misfortune are really unpredictable.
"When did it happen?"
"Just yesterday, Second Senior Sister suddenly told me that she was ready to marry Yao Jianxian and asked us to help arrange the marriage."
"Well"
Zhao Xun was speechless for a moment.
Manage the wedding? Does this mean they have to be the best man and bridesmaid as well as the master of ceremonies?
Second Senior Sister is really good.
However, if you think about it carefully, the current situation is indeed very tense. It is really not appropriate to find someone outside the academy to arrange your marriage at this time.
Since you can't find people outside the academy, you can only tap potential from within.
After much deliberation, only Zhao Xun and others are the most suitable.
It can be said that the second senior sister has a very sharp vision and has determined that Zhao Xun and others are more suitable to host the wedding.
Of course, Zhao Xun has nothing to shirk in this regard.
The long-distance love race between the Second Senior Sister and the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan has been running for more than ten years, and it can be said that it has come to an end.
After such a long time, neither party has lost its sense of freshness and neither has given up on each other, which is really touching.
At least Zhao Xun felt very moved, so he would do his best to arrange the wedding for the two of them.
Although the current situation is a bit tense, Zhao Xun will still do his best to help the second senior sister and Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy Yao Yan make the wedding grand and beautiful.
After all, theoretically speaking, a person only has this one chance of glory in his life, so he cannot treat himself badly no matter what.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xun rushed to Second Senior Sister to inquire about the specific details of the wedding.
There is no need to worry about the wedding format. At this time, there is no so-called Western wedding, let alone a travel wedding.
The wedding format must be a Chinese wedding. The key is how to determine some details after determining this.
In Zhao Xun's view, details are the key factor that determines whether a wedding can be held beautifully.
Usually, in many situations, people will wrong themselves and even force themselves to make some choices.
But Zhao Xun felt that the Second Senior Sister and the Bamboo Forest Sword Fairy must not be wronged.
Even if he and his senior brothers spent some private money to support them, they could not live in poverty.
"Well, I really haven't thought about this."
Second senior sister Liu Yingying blushed for a moment.
I hate it. I really hate it. How can I ask a girl this kind of question directly?
Girls will feel shy.
"Then I will make plans for Second Senior Sister."
What Zhao Xun fears most is not the newcomers who have no independent opinions, but the ones who are too independent.
If a person has no opinion, at least he will not cause trouble.
If you meet the kind of master who causes trouble, it will really make you want to cry.
"Okay, junior brother, you have full authority to make the decision on this matter."
After leaving the Second Senior Sister's place, Zhao Xun did not return to his residence immediately, but went directly to the place where the Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan lived.
Unlike the second senior sister who has no independent opinions, Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan is obviously the kind of practitioner who has a strong desire to lead and control.
"Oh, let me tell you, Zhao Xun, this wedding must be beautiful and grand. It must not be shabby or mean. Your second senior sister and I grew up together. We have never seen any big storms.
.But we have suffered so much, and I really want to find an opportunity to make it up to her. For a newlywed, is there any better opportunity than the wedding day?"
Zhao Xun nodded in agreement.
He thought to himself, "Good guy Yao Jianxian, how long has he been holding this in? He's almost exhausted."
In fact, Zhao Xun can understand Yao Yan's mood at the moment. The relationship between him and the second senior sister can definitely be regarded as a love marathon.
Under such circumstances, it was normal for Yao Jianxian to feel panic in his heart.
He definitely hopes to finalize things as soon as possible to prevent any discrepancies.
Unless the wedding is held on the spot, Yao Yan may not feel truly at ease.
Only when the raw rice becomes cooked rice can Yao Yan breathe a sigh of relief.
Out of compensation, Yao Yan definitely hopes that the wedding will be as luxurious as possible.
"No problem, you can list the specific requirements and we will see how to implement them."
Zhao Xun is an expert in this area. Before he traveled through time, he worked part-time as a master of ceremonies. He also lived a hard life in order to earn some extra money.
No matter how many ideas Yao Yan had, could he have more ideas than those newcomers in later generations?
Zhao Xun can even handle those tricky newcomers, but he is simply a coward to deal with these demands from the mere Bamboo Forest Swordsman Yao Yan.
Of course, he still had to ask Yao Yan more details.
"Well, Yao Jianxian, let me ask one more question. Do you want more surprises? Look, your daily life is just firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. It must be the same for you and the second senior sister after you get married.
.In this case, you might as well create more surprises in your wedding, so that you won’t regret it in the future.”
"That's natural."
Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan nodded and said: "You are still thoughtful. Your second senior sister's character, although she doesn't say it, she still likes romance. I think you can start from a romantic perspective.
Create some surprises for her."
"Well, I understand, you want both romance and surprise, right?"
Zhao Xun has also worked as a part-time master of ceremonies, and he knows very well that the most important thing in customizing a wedding is to meet the needs of the customer.
As long as this is done, many of the subsequent problems will be easily solved.
And if this cannot be done, then even if the couple does not get angry at the wedding, they will definitely find trouble with the wedding organizer afterwards.
"Also, don't invite too many people. Your second senior sister and I can't bear to see that kind of feasting. I think a hundred or so people are enough, so I'll put a dozen or so tables in this academy.
At most, they are all acquaintances so that no one will feel embarrassed."
"Well, I understand. Just write it down."
Zhao Xun nodded repeatedly.
After understanding the wishes of the two newcomers, Zhao Xun returned to his residence and prepared to start planning.
In his view, in order to have a high-quality wedding, planning must take into account all possible situations.
The situations that may occur may be various, but as long as they make plans in advance, they will not be temporarily blinded.
"Well, the easiest way to create romance is with fireworks. The fireworks can be designed in a heart-shaped shape, which can express Yao Jianxian's love for the second senior sister to the greatest extent. Also, doesn't the second senior sister like flowers? I can use
When the flowerpot is placed with a slogan or shape that expresses love, no one can resist this ultimate beauty."
Zhao Xun was minding his own business and started scribbling on the drawing. He started and stopped for a while, and then erased the highlighted parts.
These can only be considered rough drafts until the plan is finalized.
"Junior brother, are you still planning a plan?"
Third senior brother Long Qingquan touched him at some point, startling Zhao Xun.
"Uh, Third Senior Brother, why do you walk without making any sound? It scared me to death."
"Junior brother, what are you afraid of? I'm here to see how your wedding preparations are going, and see if there's anything I can do to help you."
"Well"
Zhao Xun was a little confused now.
What type of situation is this?
Third senior brother Long Qingquan’s conscience discovered it?
It's so pitiful that from the beginning to the end, the third senior brother Long Qingquan never thought of helping, or even thought of lending a hand.
But now the third senior brother Long Qingquan actually came to ask Zhao Xun in person if there was anything he needed help with?
"Well, of course there is. In fact, I have a good design, but it is difficult to implement, so it is difficult to decide. Can't we practitioners rely on forcing the true energy out of the body to illuminate? I was wondering if we can rely on the true energy to come out of the body.
How to draw a pattern of two people holding hands and walking together? If this can be realized, I think it should be the most romantic thing at the wedding."
Well, Long Qingquan had to admire his junior brother's imagination.
If he had asked him to think about it, he would never have thought of relying on Qi to draw the picture of holding hands.
But from a technical perspective, this is completely achievable.
"Third senior brother?"
Seeing that Long Qingquan didn't respond for a long time, Zhao Xun urged him a little.
"This is actually not difficult."
Long Qingquan cleared his throat and said: "I think it can be achieved, but it must be hidden from Second Senior Sister and Yao Jianxian in advance, otherwise there will be no surprises then."
"This is natural."
Zhao Xun nodded slightly in agreement.
An excellent emcee does not just meet the needs of customers, but must be able to draw inferences from one example and think about various possibilities.
If he can design a link that not only meets customer needs but also surprises customers, he will definitely shine because of this and customers will remember him completely.
"In addition, I also thought about something, can we make a booklet of the clips of Second Senior Sister and Yao Jianxian over the years, and then give them to them on the wedding day?"
Life must have a sense of ritual, and in Zhao Xun's opinion, the sense of ritual comes from every detail.
Only those who pay attention to details can dig out these things and make people feel a sense of ritual.
And Zhao Xun is a person who is good at digging out details.
"Well, I think it's feasible."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan said without hesitation: "Little junior brother, your idea is very good. The time that Zhulin Sword Immortal and second senior sister have been together is actually not that short. It has been more than ten years since they met.
How many more than ten years have it been? It is really not easy for the two of them to reach this point. If we can record every bit of their time together and hand it to them hand in hand, they will be moved.
You’re in tears, right?”
"Yes, this is what I want."
There is now a thick layer of gloom hanging over the academy.
This haze was caused not only by the imperial court, but also by the invaders from the Ellen Lore continent.
In this case, everyone needs to work together to dispel the haze.
Even small things can dispel this lingering darkness.
Congratulations are the simplest way.
The two newlyweds used their marriage at this time to declare to the world that nothing in this world cannot be solved.
This will keep everyone in a state of excitement for a long time.
As the saying goes, beating chicken blood is a way to declare war on the struggle of life.
And marriage is the best manifestation of chicken blood.
"In addition, I think we should send blessings to the couple on the wedding day. We can each think of a sentence. It doesn't need to be too long, and it doesn't need to be too literary, as long as it has true feelings."
Zhao Xun knows very well that emotions can resonate and affect other people on a wide scale.
The emotional bond between two people may not be so obvious.
But what about ten people and a hundred people?
It’s completely different, right?
"This is simple. I will make it clear to the other junior brothers and sisters immediately and ask them to think of a sentence to send blessings."
Third senior fellow apprentice Long Qingquan patted his chest and took over the job. Zhao Xun felt somewhat gratified by this.
"Oh, it would be great if the mountain chief could also participate."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan suddenly felt emotional, which made Zhao Xun not know what to say.
Good guy, the mountain chief has actually recovered, but the mountain chief won’t let Zhao Xun tell other senior brothers and sisters.
Therefore, even if it was Long Qingquan, the third senior brother whom he trusted the most, Zhao Xun could not reveal even a single word.
Zhao Xun knew that the mountain leader must have his own reasons for doing this, so Zhao Xun would stick to it no matter what and would never change this strategy.
"The Mountain Chief is still recovering from his injuries, so we'd better not disturb his old man. I believe the Second Senior Sister can understand. After all, the Mountain Chief's health is the most important thing in the academy now. If the Mountain Chief can successfully recover from his injuries, then our academy
Even the city of Chang'an is safe."
"Yes, that's what I said. Junior brother, don't worry about it."
Long Qingquan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course I can still distinguish the importance. I just think that the second senior sister will feel a little regretful. After all, the mountain leader is both a teacher and a father to her. Her father passed away early.
She respects the mountain leader so much that she considers him his old father from the bottom of her heart."
"Oh, life is never completely perfect. As long as we can get through this, we can have another wedding in the future and let the mountain chief come forward to accept the two of them to worship."
Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xianlong ignored the advice of Zheng Jie and Feng Hao and resolutely decided to select a clan girl as a partner for dual cultivation and send it to Master Huiyan.
Because he felt that the entire Great Zhou Empire urgently needed the addition of Master Huiyan, a super master, to help them stabilize the situation.
As long as Chang'an did not fall into the hands of the enemy, and as long as Emperor Xianlong's throne was not threatened, Emperor Xianlong could actually agree to any conditions.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong also knew very well that he would be under great pressure once this move was made, and the royal family would also be subject to a lot of criticism.
But Emperor Xianlong had no choice.
If he did not do this, the Zhou Empire and even the imperial court would not only face criticism and pressure, but also the danger of destruction.
The Great Zhou Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years, and the state of Zuo continued uninterrupted.
Emperor Xianlong certainly did not want the dynasty to end in his hands.
So he is willing to make sacrifices for this, and he also believes that the clan girls should make sacrifices for this.
Since you were born into the royal family, you should have corresponding awareness. If you don't even have this awareness, you are not worthy of being named Li.
Of course, Emperor Xianlong also had difficulties with the selection.
First of all, you definitely can’t choose the princess.
This is so ironic and embarrassing.
Even if the princess became a nun, Emperor Xianlong couldn't bear it, let alone returning to secular life and becoming a partner of Master Huiyan. This would definitely not work.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong would definitely choose one from among the kings’ daughters.
But who to choose?
The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. No matter who Emperor Xianlong chooses, the clan girl will definitely cry.
This is an issue that Emperor Xianlong must consider from the beginning.
"Prince? King of Qi? King of Chu? King of Lu? King of Chen?"
Emperor Xianlong had more than twenty sons in total, seventeen of whom are now adults and have children.
Among these seventeen princes, thirteen had daughters.
In other words, there were only thirteen princes in total for Emperor Xianlong to choose from.
Of course, some princes gave birth to more than one daughter, but considering their age, the range of choices was actually not very large.
Emperor Xianlong really had a headache.
Originally, he was counting on Zheng Jie to help him analyze it.
But now it seems there is no hope.
Zheng Jie was completely opposed to his decision and said so directly at the risk of breaking up with him.
Since then, Emperor Xianlong has been forced to have no way out.
Emperor Xianlong really had no way out.
If he gives in in front of Zheng Jie, how will he be able to rule the world and give orders to his ministers in the future?
How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep one house?
After all, Zheng Jie was just a domestic slave of Emperor Xianlong.
If even a domestic slave can ride on the master's head and give orders, then where is the master's face?
Therefore, no matter what, Emperor Xianlong could not surrender to Zheng Jie.
What Emperor Xianlong could do was to do everything he could to suppress Zheng Jie and force Zheng Jie to agree with Emperor Xianlong's decision.
No matter how painful, struggling and resisting Zheng Jie was during this process, Emperor Xianlong could not relent.
Because once he softens his heart, all his previous plans will be ruined.
Emperor Xianlong needed Master Huiyan and needed Master Huiyan's help in guarding Chang'an.
Therefore, even if Master Huiyan made some seemingly excessive demands, he would choose to accept them as long as they did not endanger Emperor Xianlong himself.
It's just a sacrifice of one clan girl, it doesn't matter if there are ten sacrifices.
But it was really a headache to choose one from a dozen people. Emperor Xianlong simply didn't want to think about it anymore, and decided to use the simplest and most direct method - drawing lots.
Something will occur if it belongs to your life, if not, do not push it.
Just leave everything to God and fate.
Emperor Xianlong knew very well that if he made the decision himself, it would be difficult for him to make a decision in ten and a half days.
But drawing lots is different. You can get a result quickly, a fair result.
Everything is destined, and I can’t blame anyone.
The only thing to blame is their bad luck.
Emperor Xianlong ordered Xiaohuangmen to prepare the names of the princes and princesses of the appropriate age, write them on a small piece of paper, then make a ball of paper and throw it into a box.
Then Emperor Xianlong closed the lid of the box and shook it vigorously.
Emperor Xianlong made sure to shake evenly and vigorously so that the paper balls would be thoroughly mixed together.
After shaking for a long time, Emperor Xianlong stopped.
He took a deep breath and opened the lid of the box, then reached out to touch the paper ball.
The moment he touched the paper ball, Emperor Xianlong shrank back as if he had touched charcoal.
After all, it was his own bloodline. Although Emperor Xianlong said he didn't care, in the end he still felt a little painful.
But what can he do?
What Emperor Xianlong wanted to consider was not just the family name, but the inheritance of his ancestors, the country and the country.
If the Zhou Dynasty were overthrown, I don’t know how many people would be kings and hegemons.
Therefore, Emperor Xianlong must maintain the stability of the Zhou Empire, and he thought it was worth sacrificing a few clan daughters for this purpose.
Emperor Xianlong withdrew his trembling hand, and then slowly opened the paper ball.
The time to witness the results has finally arrived.
When Emperor Xianlong completely unfolded the paper ball, he could clearly see the characters written on it were Li Taiping, the daughter of the King of Qi and the head of Yonghe County.
"She is actually the daughter of King Qi"
Emperor Xianlong murmured.
In fact, he still loved Li Taiping, the lord of Yonghe County.
Among the daughters of the kings, Li Taiping was very popular with Emperor Xianlong.
But this was drawn by lot and represented God's will. Emperor Xianlong couldn't regret it because of his personal preference, right?
And even if he regrets and draws lots again, who can guarantee that the one he draws will not be Li Taiping?
And it's not fair to other clan girls.
Suddenly Emperor Xianlong thought of something again, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
How could he almost forget it?
Zhao Xun seems to be having a heated fight with Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County.
The relationship between the two was very deep, and they even came to the point of discussing marriage.
If Zhao Xun had not killed King Wei, maybe the two would have been engaged by now, right?
However, this incident completely angered Emperor Xianlong, and Zhao Xun had to resign to save his life.
However, Emperor Xianlong did not intend to let Zhao Xun go, but it was difficult to take action due to the protection of the academy.
Now Emperor Xianlong actually found an excellent opportunity to take revenge on Zhao Xun.
The best way to hurt someone and retaliate against someone is to tear the person they value most to pieces in front of him.
Although this person was also a relative of Emperor Xianlong, Emperor Xianlong didn't care.
As long as he can hurt Zhao Xun, he is willing to try.
"Come here, I have issued a decree to order the Lord of Yonghe County, Li Taiping, to become a nun."
Emperor Xianlong cleared his throat and ordered almost coldly.
Emperor Xianlong's decision really shocked Xiao Huangmen.
Li Taiping, the daughter of King Qi and the head of Yonghe County?
Your Majesty, what is going on?
This imperial edict is not easy to spread.
In the past, if there was an opportunity to deliver an edict, the eunuchs in the palace would rush to do it.
Because this is the simplest and most direct way to earn money.
Generally, officials who receive orders will choose to spend some money as a filial piety as long as they understand the rules.
The little eunuch can also make a lot of money from this.
But this time the situation is very different.
What the little eunuch wants to convey is not a benevolent decree, but a decree that can force His Highness King Qi to death.
Asking King Qi's beloved daughter to become a nun, even if it was really His Majesty's will, Xiaohuangmen still felt a little unable to express it.
You said that when His Majesty the King of Qi had a quarrel with His Majesty the Emperor, it was ultimately because of his fault as the messenger, and he couldn't bear it.
But the imperial edict has been issued, and it is impossible for him to question His Majesty the Emperor, so he can only accept it bravely.
He can only blame himself for being unlucky enough to be on duty at this time.
If he doesn't deliver the decree, who will?
Xiao Huangmen was extremely depressed.
But at this point, he had no choice but to receive the imperial edict and go to Prince Qi's Mansion.
King Li Xiang of Qi is having a hard time these days.
Since Zhao Xun killed King Wei and resigned from office, he has been under tremendous pressure.
The prince's followers seized on this and severely criticized King Qi.
Who in the whole court knows the relationship between Zhao Xun and Qi Wang’s faction?
If this accident hadn't happened, I'm afraid Zhao Xun would have become King Qi's son-in-law. Gu Xi
But it happened that something like this happened at this time, and it was really impossible to make up for it.
Even if King Qi was optimistic about Zhao Xun, he had to make the painful decision to give up his love and give up his car to keep him.
If King Qi refuses to give up Zhao Xun, he may be in trouble, and eventually the entire Prince Qi's palace will be affected.
"It's really difficult."
Li Jianye, the eldest son of Prince Qi, frowned and complained to his father: "The dogs raised by the prince, each and every one of them, took advantage of the human power and criticized our Prince of Qi's Mansion. Those guys really don't want to be sons of man. At first, I thought they meant it and barked twice.
The sound was enough, but who would have thought that it would get out of control. It is simply too much!"
King Li Xiang of Qi remained silent.
Although he agreed with what his eldest son said, what could he do in his position?
Isn't it because of your majesty's acquiescence that Prince Qi's palace is so dangerous now?
Without Your Majesty's acquiescence, he would not have dared to kill his siblings like this even if he borrowed ten of the prince's courage.
But it is because of His Majesty's acquiescence that the Crown Prince has no fear and can instigate his followers to do whatever they want.
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that the battle for the throne was actually a battle between the prince and the king of Qi. The other kings had various problems, and they had no choice but to run with him because they were not strong enough.
However, the Crown Prince and the King of Qi are definitely powerful enough to compete for the big treasure, both in terms of number of party members and power.
Therefore, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were basically divided into two factions, namely, the Princeling Party and the Qi King Party.
The two parties are at odds with each other and will not give in at all.
It's okay on weekdays, but if it happens to happen when there is a huge conflict, it would be wonderful.
The vanguard generals from both sides appeared one by one and started to bite each other, which was really exciting.
The King of Qi has always maintained an undisputed image, and the prince has to worry about his status and cannot end up personally.
Therefore, it is usually their party members and supporters who fight fiercely.
When they were almost done fighting, the prince and the king of Qi would jump out and act as peacemakers and good guys.
This pattern would have continued endlessly. As long as Emperor Xianlong was not seriously ill, the two brothers would have stopped trying.
But it happened that something like this happened at this time.
It's really unexpected.
King Li Xiang of Qi was caught off guard, and so was the entire King of Qi's party.
But Li Xiang knew he couldn't mess up.
The entire King of Qi's party only follows his lead.
If he messes up, then the entire King Qi Party will have no idea what to do.
The current situation is really chilling.
King Li Xiang of Qi was walking on thin ice as if he were facing an abyss.
It's as if one wrong step will lead to catastrophe.
We can only take every step as well as possible and ensure that there are no mistakes in the middle.
"Father, please come up with an idea. How can we allow the prince's gang to make such repeated moves?"
"enough!"
Seeing that Li Jianye was still noisy, Li Xiang sneered and interrupted: "I can't make up my mind. I can't make any decisions. Can't you see that this is the result of His Majesty's deliberate connivance? Why do you think the princelings dare to be so blatant?
If Your Majesty doesn't acquiesce, just lend him ten courages, do you think he would dare?"
"Well"
Now Li Jianye was completely stupid.
Yes, what my father said actually makes sense.
On the surface, this matter seems to be the prince giving support to the prince's gang members, but in fact, his majesty is behind it.
It seems that His Majesty hates Zhao Xun very deeply, and even the King of Qi's faction will be suppressed.
When he thought of this, Li Jianye felt extremely angry.
"Zhao Xun really wants to be his eldest son. In the future, he will inherit the title and become a lord of the country, marry the noble county lord, and be his father's bed-mate and son-in-law. But he wants to commit such a big crime."
.If the mountain chief hadn’t protected him, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been able to save his life.”
King Li Xiang of Qi frowned.
"I don't know. I only know that Zhao Xun should have given up his official career completely now. It's just that it is easy for him to give up his official career, but it is impossible for me to give up his reserve position. It is impossible to eliminate the impact of this matter in a short time. We
We can only tolerate it for the time being and wait until the situation is stable and the storm has subsided before we make further calculations."
"But my father."
Li Jianye wanted to argue again, but Qi King Li Xiang waved his hand at this moment and said: "You don't have to say anymore, I know what I know."
"Your Highness, Your Highness has an internal official coming to deliver the order!"
At this moment, the steward of Prince Qi's Mansion trotted all the way to Prince Qi and saluted him respectfully.
"Um?"
King Qi raised his eyebrows, looking very shocked.
Is there someone in the palace?
In order to distinguish them from the officials of the outer dynasty, the eunuchs in the palace are also called internal officials.
But in fact, Qi King Li Xiang has not seen an internal official come to the Qi Palace for quite some time.
What is the purpose of the internal officials coming to convey the order at this time?
"I, the king, will go right away."
No matter what your Majesty's intention is, Qi King Li Xiang still has to go and receive the order.
If King Qi Li Xiang shows even the slightest bit of disrespect at this time, it will be a disaster for King Qi and his party.
Forbearance, restraint.
Qi King Li Xiang kept warning himself in his heart.
At this time, you must hold back and never explode.
Countless pairs of eyes in the court were staring at him at the moment. He must not make a mistake, he must not.
"The King of Qi, Li Xiang, received the order. I am very pleased that the Lord of Yonghe County, Li Taiping, is loyal, pure and filial, and abides by the virtues of women. However, I was entrusted by Taizu with a dream, saying that there will be a female trouble in the palace of the King of Qi, which may bring harm to the country. .In order to protect our ancestors’ country forever, Li Taiping, the daughter of the King of Qi, the head of Yonghe County, has been specially ordered to become a nun. I express my gratitude for this.”
What?
Qi King Li Xiang's first reaction when he heard this imperial edict was shock.
He simply couldn't believe that this was really his father's decree.
is this real?
Would my father issue such an unreasonable imperial edict?
It's simply ridiculous.
What kind of ancestors are entrusted with dreams, what kind of women are causing trouble in the court!
What's wrong with my father? Is he really bewitched by that monster monk from the Western Regions?
Angry, Qi King Li Xiang felt surprisingly angry at this moment.
At this time, he wanted to tear this imperial edict into pieces, tearing it into pieces without leaving even a trace.
But he couldn't, he knew he must not get angry.
If he gets angry at this time, the situation will be even more serious.
Countless people were waiting for him to get angry at this moment, and countless people were waiting to see his jokes.
If he hadn't resisted at this time, it would have been all over.
"My sons and ministers receive orders."
Although his teeth were itching with hatred, King Li Xiang of Qi still knelt down to receive the imperial edict.
The taste of breaking a tooth and swallowing it in the stomach is not pleasant, but it is better than the disaster that the whole family of Prince Qi suffered.
King Li Xiang of Qi has been in the court for so many years, and he knows very well what should be done when.
If you don't have this awareness, there is no need to fight for a reserve position.
"His Royal Highness, King Qi, I won't keep this servant anymore. I have to return to the palace to take my leave."
The person who delivered the decree, Xiao Huangmen, was afraid that King Li Xiang of Qi would be angry with him, so he handed the decree to Queen Qi, cupped it in her hands, and ran away.
Good guy, there is a quarrel between the royal family and his son, why should he be so upset here?
Seeing that the middle official who delivered the order had gone far away, Qi King Li Xiang finally broke out.
"It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense. Is your father an old fool?"
He threw the imperial edict to the ground and roared angrily.
To deceive others is to go too far. This is really to deceive others to go too far.
As soon as this incident came out, everyone in Prince Qi's mansion was severely stepped on, and I'm afraid they won't be able to turn around in a short time.
This is simply a huge insult. If King Qi admits it, the princelings will definitely celebrate him.
But how could King Qi deny it?
If he really refuses to admit it, wouldn't that mean he is disobeying the decree?
Qi King Li Xiang knew exactly what this meant.
If he is found guilty of resisting the imperial decree and disrespecting the emperor, he will be a rebellious and traitorous son without a father and a king, and everyone will find him and punish him.
At that time, there won't even be a need for the princelings to attack, just Tumo Xingzi, the civil and military leader of the court, will be enough to spray King Qi to death.
"Father, how could your Majesty issue such a decree?"
Li Jianye couldn't help it anymore.
To deceive others is to go too far. This is really to deceive others to go too far.
No one else could bear it!
"Don't ask me how I know."
Li Xiang was extremely helpless. He spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty's thoughts are as unpredictable as a needle on the bottom of the sea."
"But what should we do now? If we really follow the order, do we really want the girl to become a nun?"
"Otherwise, what should we do? If she hadn't fallen in love with Zhao Xun, why would she have done this?"
King Li Xiang of Qi let out a long sigh.
He is saddened by his misfortune and angry that he does not fight.
If there is any other possibility, Qi King Li Xiang only hopes to do it once.
But he also knows this is unrealistic.
The reality now is that he must bear the pain and let his beloved daughter become a nun. Only in this way can he maintain the peace of the Qi King's lineage.
…
…
"Brother Mingyun, something serious has happened!"
Zhao Xun was surprised when he saw Wangcai trotting all the way up to him.
"Wangcai? Why are you here?"
In Zhao Xun's impression, Wangcai was the master who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.
Since Zhao Xun resigned from office and retired to Zhongnanshan Haoran Academy, Wangcai has never come again.
Why does it suddenly appear now?
"Brother Mingyun, something serious has happened."
Zhao Xun thought to himself, you should just say, you are only here to talk about big things and bad things, I don’t know what happened.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
But Zhao Xun didn't have much trouble urging him on.
"Well, that's it. I just got news from Mr. Feng that His Majesty wants Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County, to become a nun!"
"What!"
Zhao Xun was really surprised.
Although he knew that Emperor Xianlong was not a good person on a daily basis, this was the first time he had been so ungrateful.
No matter how you say it, Li Taiping is still the granddaughter of Emperor Xianlong. How could he be so cruel?
Although Zhao Xun felt a little discouraged before, he did not give up on Li Taiping.
Now that he heard the news, how could he bear it?
If you can't bear it anymore, there's no need to bear it anymore.
"But is the source reliable?"
Although Zhao Xun was very angry, he was not completely carried away by his anger.
He knew exactly what the current situation meant.
"It should be reliable."
"It is said that Zheng Jie told Mr. Feng."
Eunuch Zheng…
That should be close to ten.
Zheng Jie, as a chambermaid, had been in the palace for many years.
Even though he is no longer favored because he collided with Emperor Xianlong, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
No matter what, Zheng Jie's prestige is still there.
Zhao Xun believed that with Zheng Jie's spy network in the palace, it would not be difficult to control the news.
It seems that Emperor Xianlong is really no longer a human being, and he will not even let his granddaughter go.
"It is said that His Majesty had a dream, which was entrusted to him by his ancestors, saying that Yonghe County Lord might be a disaster for the court because of his beauty, so he issued a ruthless decree to order Yonghe County Lord to become a nun."
It’s just bullshit!
Zhao Xun was furious when he heard this.
Enlightenment?
What a fucking dream.
Zhao Xun didn't believe in the dream theory, it was clearly Emperor Xianlong who wanted to retaliate against Zhao Xun.
He had no choice but to attack Zhao Xun and Li Taiping.
Because Li Taiping is the person Zhao Xun loves most.
If Li Taiping became a nun, Zhao Xun would definitely be miserable.
This guy's heart is really smaller than a needle nose.
"Brother Mingyun, please think of a way. The imperial edict has been issued, and King Qi can't handle it."
"Don't make any noise, let me think carefully."
Zhao Xun only felt a headache for a moment.
Things are a bit complicated, but the more complicated it is, the more Zhao Xun cannot mess up.
Because a moment of clutter can lead to chaos.
One careless move and you lose everything.
Facing the power of Emperor Xianlong, Zhao Xun must be at least calm.
"Is the Lord of Yonghe County still in Prince Qi's Mansion now?"
"It should still be there."
Wangcai's eyes were very blank.
Zhao Xun wanted to roll his eyes when he heard this. What do you mean by "should"? What's the use of you!
"That's all, I'll find a chance to take a look myself and see what's going on!"
"Wait a minute."
Zhao Xun was about to turn around and leave when he heard the voice of Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan.
"Third senior brother?"
Zhao Xun was stunned and turned his head instinctively.
"Junior brother, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan used Zhao Xun's catchphrase, and it was impossible to deal with Zhao Xun.
Good guy, Third Senior Brother, can you please stop talking nonsense right from the start?
This sense of atmosphere was suddenly destroyed by the third senior brother.
"Third Senior Brother, can I endure this kind of thing? The Dog Emperor simply doesn't behave like a human anymore. If I continue to endure this kind of situation, wouldn't I become an old turtle?"
"Well"
Facing the menacing Zhao Xun, Long Qingquan cleared his throat and explained: "Junior brother, please don't get excited. Just listen to me. Senior brother, I'm not asking you to be patient, but to think long term. First of all, is the source of this information reliable?
?Secondly, even if this information is reliable, can you kill Emperor Xianlong with your current strength?"
Long Qingquan knew Zhao Xun very well. He knew that Zhao Xun would probably fight to the death with Emperor Xianlong if he took action at this time.
But the most important thing to avoid at this time is impulsiveness.
Where is the palace?
That is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and there are so many masters there.
If you plunged in so carelessly, you probably would have died without knowing how.
Although Zhao Xun is now a high-level practitioner at the fourth level, the fourth level is definitely nothing after Chang'an City, and it is even less worth mentioning in the imperial palace.
Let’s just say that the dead eunuch Zheng Jie has the realm of a super master and is the number one loyal dog under Emperor Xianlong.
There is also Master Huiyan, a Buddhist monk from the Western Regions who has recently been favored by Emperor Xianlong. It is said that he is the legendary Vajra Grandmaster of the Western Regions.
Although the relationship between the two people was tense for a time, Long Qingquan was sure that once Zhao Xun entered the palace to assassinate Emperor Xianlong, the two would immediately put aside their differences and join hands to fight against Zhao Xun.
Will Zhao Xun still be manipulated by the two great masters?
Although Shan Chang can steadily defeat the two, it does not mean that Zhao Xun can also do this.
In fact, Zhao Xun didn't even have the time to plug their teeth.
This may sound humiliating at first, but it is true.
What practitioners pay attention to is absolute strength. Before you have absolute strength, it is best to hide your murderous intent, otherwise you will die miserably.
Of course, from Zhao Xun's perspective, Long Qingquan could understand Zhao Xun's mentality at the moment.
After all, Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County, is Zhao Xun's favorite woman.
Now this woman is going to be sent to be a nun by Emperor Xianlong. I don’t know what kind of medicine this old Yinbi Emperor is selling in his gourd.
No one can bear this situation.
Of course, Long Qingquan will make every effort to persuade Zhao Xun to stop doing stupid things.
This kind of thing should still be discussed in the long term.
"Third Senior Brother, do you have a plan?"
"This is it"
In fact, Long Qingquan really had a plan, but it was probably different from what Zhao Xun thought.
"Junior brother, I think it's better not to be tough with that dog emperor at this time."
"Why?"
"Junior brother, think about it. What you want to save is the Lord of Yonghe County, right?"
"yes."
"So you just need to save Yonghe County Lord. There is no need to kill Emperor Xianlong. Even if you want to kill Emperor Xianlong, it's not now. When the mountain chief recovers from his injuries, Emperor Xianlong will be on the chopping block.
Do you want to slaughter all the fish and meat for you? What do you have to be afraid of when the mountain leader and his old man support you? A man is a man who can bend and stretch, so you must not be overwhelmed at times like this."
"Well"
Although Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan's idea is a bit strange, Zhao Xun still thinks it makes sense.
He was indeed a little too impulsive just now.
Thinking about it now, if he really charged into the palace with a knife, he would probably be chopped into pieces before he even saw the Dog Emperor.
Zhao Xun doesn't really believe in things like the halo of pig's feet, at least he can't gamble with his own life.
Otherwise, what should I do if the pig's foot halo fails?
Wouldn't Zhao Xun have to die miserably in the palace?
This is not what he wants to see.
Of course, Zhao Xun knew that Shan Zhang had almost recovered by this time.
But he couldn't mention this matter to his third senior brother Long Qingquan.
Chief Shan, Chief Shan, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?
You can't say this or that, it's really suffocating me to death.
"So, Third Senior Brother, what is your plan? How do we rescue the Lord of Yonghe County?"
"This is easy. Junior Brother, you still remember what I said about your Sixth Senior Brother's ability to escape from the Qi Gate, right? His Earth Escape Technique is really good. We can go directly underground to dig a tunnel into Prince Qi's Mansion and rescue the Lord of Yonghe County.
come out."
Zhao Xun frowned instinctively, thinking that this was too low.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not a bad idea.
If you go to the sky, whether you are flying with a sword, flying with a sword or flying on a dragon, it will be too eye-catching.
Prince Qi's Mansion was already heavily guarded, with guards everywhere.
Now Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who does not want to be the son of a man, has issued an imperial edict. In order to protect himself by using the urine of King Qi Li Xiang, he must have completely sold his own daughter.
Zhao Xun could even imagine this scene. Li Xiang must have ordered all the masters to surround Li Taiping's boudoir on the third and outer floors, for fear that she would escape.
I'm afraid she will never step out of the boudoir until Li Taiping becomes a nun.
So digging tunnels may be a tricky way.
At least digging the tunnel can avoid the eyes and ears of Prince Qi's Mansion, and can also avoid various restrictions.
Zhao Xun is not a hypocritical person, but he knows very well that he must make all preparations to deal with various possible situations.
"Okay, I will go to the Sixth Senior Brother to discuss the specific matters."
Without further ado, Zhao Xun didn't want to wait any longer.
"What, Junior Brother, are you going to sneak into Prince Qi's Mansion?"
After hearing Zhao Xun's bold idea, Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou shouted in surprise.
"Sixth, don't act like a slut. It's so unbecoming. To tell you the truth, I came up with this idea for my junior brother."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan rolled his eyes and said.
Lu Guangdou spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Third Senior Brother, you think too highly of me. Although I am good at Qimen Dunjia and Earth Dungeon, the person I want to infiltrate this time is Prince Qi's Mansion. What is Prince Qi's Mansion?
This place must be full of masters and there are countless restrictions. If I make the wrong move, I will definitely be discovered. Then we will all be in trouble."
"how come."
The third senior brother Long Qingquan said with a straight face when he heard this: "How can the situation be so bad? Oh, Sixth Brother, don't say these words here that make others' ambitions destroy your own prestige. Let me tell you this, even if we are really discovered
I also have a way to ensure that we can escape unscathed. Don't hesitate any more, this is the best solution we can think of at the moment."
"Third Senior Brother, I still feel that something is wrong. Have we asked Senior Sister about this matter? Second Senior Sister will talk about it later?"
Lu Guangdou hesitated, his mother-in-law's attitude made Long Qingquan angry.
"What about Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister? Why can't I speak well? Or do you think that in this academy besides the mountain chief, only Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister's words are effective?"
"Uh, third senior brother, that's not what I meant."
For a moment, Lu Guangdou felt embarrassed and anxious.
He really didn't know why the third senior brother would think in that direction, he just wanted to take everything into consideration.
"Well, now that Second Senior Sister and Bamboo Forest Sword Immortal Yao Yan are about to get married, it's best not to affect their interests at this moment. In my opinion, we'd better act first."
At this time, Long Qingquan showed the momentum of the big brother in the academy and said firmly.
"All right."
Lu Guangdou knew that his arms could not hold his thighs.
What's more, Zhao Xun was very anxious at this time, and he must be on the side of the third senior brother.
So two against one, he had no chance of succeeding in persuasion anyway.
In this case, why should he bother to talk so much, so he simply followed the ideas of the third senior brother.
When Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou once again showed off his talent as a Tu Xingsun, Zhao Xun was dumbfounded in surprise.
He had witnessed Sixth Senior Brother Lu Guangdou digging tunnels more than once.
But this was the first time he had seen such a deep tunnel dug in such a short time like today.
Good guy, Sixth Senior Brother, this is simply a humanoid excavator.
I have to say that Sixth Senior Brother has something.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
Because Lu Guangdou then turned on the violent digging mode and dug out more soil in a very short time.
Zhao Xun and his third senior brother, Long Qingquan, happened to be standing at the excavated hole and ate up all the soil in a short time, which was extremely embarrassing.
"Ahem, junior brother, I forgot to remind you just now. When Lao Liu digs a tunnel, he will enter the violent mode and ignore everything. We should have stayed away just now."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter"
Zhao Xun quickly explained awkwardly.
"Actually, if Lao Liu really digs, he can dig into Chang'an City from Zhongnan Mountain very quickly. There will definitely be no problem tonight. Let's just wait."
Third senior brother Long Qingquan put his hands behind his back, as if he had everything under control.
Zhao Xun was filled with anxiety.
Although the sixth brother has dug fast enough, he still hopes that the sixth brother can dig faster.
He now desperately wants to see Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County, and bring her back to him.
Sometimes, when two people are separated for a period of time, their feelings will not only become more intense, but will become more passionate.
Zhao Xun felt that he was in this state at this moment.
Prince Qi's Mansion.
Li Taiping stayed alone in his boudoir, looking at the flowers and plants outside the window and feeling sad for a while.
The scenery was still the same, but things and people had changed, and her state of mind was also very different.
Just a few months ago, her life was bright and sunny.
But just a few months later, everything changed drastically.
Her lover was gone, and she was ridiculed by the daughters of the clan, and had to endure many sarcastic looks.
If it were just these, that would be enough, but her biological grandfather, Emperor Xianlong, refused to let her go. He even personally issued an imperial edict, ordering Li Taiping to become a nun.
Li Taiping really couldn't understand why this happened.
In her impression, becoming a nun means completely cutting off the world of mortal life and saying goodbye to all love affairs.
The ancient Buddha of Qingdeng ended his remaining life.
But she is still very young, and she still has someone she loves deeply.
Zhao Lang, where are you?
Li Taiping wanted to call her lover loudly, but she actually knew very well that even if she called loudly, Zhao Xun would not respond.
Because at this moment Zhao Xun had completely fallen out with the emperor.
He killed the king of Wei, resigned from his post in the palace, laughed to the sky, and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain.
Li Taiping found it a bit unbelievable that these things happened to you, Zhao Xu.
But these are indeed what happened.
Li Taiping had to force himself to accept it, but it was really difficult.
"Zhao Lang, will you come to save me?"
Although he knew there was little hope, Li Taiping still had some illusions.
Because in her opinion, Zhao Xun is all her hope at this moment.
If she doesn't count on Zhao Xun, who can she count on?
"Taiping, Taiping, are you there?"
Um?
Li Taiping suddenly heard a familiar voice.
This voice was so familiar to her because it had sounded in her ears countless times.
But this voice seemed a little unfamiliar, after all, I hadn't heard it again for several months.
At this moment, Li Taiping was in a daze.
She was very sure that this was Zhao Xun's voice.
"Is it Zhao Lang?"
Li Taiping asked almost instinctively.
"It's me, it's me, Taiping, please don't cry out, I'll come to save you right away."
Zhao Xun felt ecstatic when he heard Li Taiping's response.
He knew very well that now was the best time to rescue Li Taiping. As long as Li Taiping stayed in the house and didn't make too much noise, he would be sure to rescue Li Taiping.
"good"
Li Taiping's mood was extremely complicated at the moment, he was both nervous and happy.
She was nervous because she didn't know where Zhao Xun was hiding at this moment, but she was happy that she had indeed seen the right person.
Zhao Xun came to save her anyway.
After about a cup of tea, a crack opened on the floor of the boudoir.
Then the gap expanded bigger and bigger.
Soon a human head emerged from the ground.
This man's head is covered with dirt, and the dirt is covered with weeds.
"Well"
Li Taiping wanted to scream out loud, but she knew it wouldn't work.
She had to control her emotions, otherwise Zhao Lang's efforts would be in vain if she disturbed the guards in the palace.
She knew very well the strength of the palace guards.
Although Zhao Xun is also very strong, it is difficult for him to defeat four fists with two fists.
Not to mention carrying her as a burden.
Therefore, she must keep a low profile as much as possible and must not disturb the guards in the palace.
After Zhao Xun crawled out from the ground, he immediately shook off the dirt on his body, took Li Taiping into his arms and said, "Taiping, I have finally met you. I heard that the Dog Emperor ordered you to cut off your hair and become a nun. I was very worried."
, I don’t dare to delay for a moment, and I will come to rescue you immediately. Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt you, not even the Dog Emperor.”
"Well"
Li Taiping felt a little embarrassed, Zhao Xun spoke like a dog emperor. But Emperor Xianlong was her grandfather after all.
Although this grandfather is a bit indifferent, he is indeed his biological grandfather.
"Zhao Lang, let's not talk about this for now. How can we escape?"
"From the tunnel!"
Zhao Xun pointed to a big hole in the ground and said: "To be honest, we dug tunnels all the way from Zhongnan Mountain to Chang'an City. My sixth senior brother is good at earth escape and is an expert at digging tunnels. Don't worry, this
I've checked along the way and there's no danger."
Zhao Xun's attitude made Li Taiping feel at ease.
"That's good, but we still have to be careful not to disturb the guards in the palace."
Li Taiping is the most cautious person, and she knows very well that the guards in the palace are very vigilant.
Even a single oversight on their part may disturb these guards and expose them.
"Okay, I'll try to make the noise as small as possible."
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Is it convenient for you to walk? How about I hold you or carry you on my back?"
Zhao Xun said that he felt a little strange when he carried Li Taiping on his back, which was similar to how Zhu Bajie felt when he carried his wife on his back.
As expected, Li Taiping's face turned red when he heard this and said: "Forget it, I can leave by myself."
Zhao Xun nodded, no longer forcing Li Taiping, but changed the topic and said: "After leaving today, you don't have to miss this palace anymore. At first, I just thought that the dog emperor did not want to be the son of a man, but now it seems that the king of Qi does not want to be a man."
A person who is greedy for power will give up anything, including you, in order to compete for the position of crown prince. This is simply unacceptable."
"Zhao Lang!"
Li Taiping seemed a little excited when he heard this.
After all, King Qi is also her biological father.
When Zhao Xun said this, what did Li Taiping think?
Li Taiping knew very well that Zhao Xun was in a very angry mood at the moment, but he also had to consider her mood.
"That's it, I won't say any more, let's go first."
Zhao Xun carefully let Li Taiping into the tunnel, then leaned forward and jumped into the tunnel.
"It's so dark, I'm afraid of Zhao Lang."
The dark environment made Li Taiping feel very scary.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a little dark. There are no foreign objects in the tunnel and it won't be dangerous."
After Zhao Xun said this, he forced out part of his true energy to illuminate.
He didn't dare to use all his energy because he was afraid that the sudden fluctuation of energy would attract the attention of the palace guards.
Although there are two big bosses, Third Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother, Zhao Xun still hopes that he can avoid conflicts as much as possible.
It is safe to return to Zhongnan Mountain safely and return to the academy.
Before that, Zhao Xun never wanted anything to go wrong.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Even if anything happens, I will protect you."
At first, Zhao Xun felt that letting go was a good choice for both parties. After all, Zhao Xun and the royal family had a lifelong relationship, and Li Taiping was a daughter of the clan, so she was caught in a dilemma.
But now Zhao Xun found that he couldn't let go at all.
Is it easy to forget someone?
No, forgetting someone is very painful, very painful, extremely painful.
Especially someone you love deeply.
There is no doubt that Zhao Xun truly loves Li Taiping.
He loved Li Taiping deeply, and Li Taiping himself, not Li Taiping's identity.
From the very beginning, he felt that this woman had a peculiar quality that attracted him deeply.
Later Zhao Xun discovered that this trait is purity.
Yes, Li Taiping lived a very pure life, without any pretense, he just lived a very pure life.
This kind of purity allowed Zhao Xun to open his heart to her as much as possible without having to worry so much.
Zhao Xun can take out what he has hidden deep in his heart and share it with Li Taiping.
That feeling is simply amazing.
"Go slowly, don't be afraid, I'm here."
The tunnel is very long, and it is dozens of miles away from Zhongnan Mountain to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Although it was a straight line, the distance was still too far for a weak woman.
So after they walked out of Prince Qi's Mansion, Zhao Xun used his true energy to push Li Taiping forward.
This can relieve Li Taiping's fatigue to a certain extent and also speed up their progress.
But Zhao Xun didn't dare to push too hard.
Because although they had already left the boundaries of Prince Qi's Mansion, they were still within the limits of Chang'an City.
In this case, it is easy to trigger Chang'an City's formation because the vitality fluctuates too obviously.
This is not a situation Zhao Xun wants to see.
Only after they completely get out of Chang'an City, Zhao Xun will completely force out his true energy and push Li Taiping forward with all his strength.
By then their speed will increase dramatically.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Zhao Xun came out of the tunnel again, he saw the senior sister and the second senior sister standing outside.
Seeing the serious faces of the two, Zhao Xun smiled awkwardly: "Are the two senior sisters still awake?"
"Sleep? How can we sleep? You, the third and sixth children are messing around like this, who can bear the responsibility if something happens. The mountain leader is currently in seclusion to recuperate, and you don't know it. If the mountain leader and his old man recover,
, you can do whatever you want. But if you mess around now, I'm really worried that the academy will suffer a big disaster."
The second senior sister, Liu Yingying, cursed Zhao Xunren like crazy.
Of course, Zhao Xun will not blame Second Senior Sister for this, because he knows very well that Second Senior Sister is also doing it for his own good.
The reason why the second senior sister said this was because she cared about him. If the second senior sister didn't care about Zhao Xun at all, then what does it have to do with her whether Zhao Xun lived or died?
"Second Senior Sister, I know I was wrong, but can you please let me take Taiping out first, and we can talk slowly?"
Zhao Xun's attitude of admitting mistakes has never been a problem. This is also his self-knowledge.
"Okay, I'll let you go this time."
The second senior sister snorted coldly and stepped out of the way.
Zhao Xun quickly leaned towards the entrance of the cave and took Li Taiping into his arms.
"Well"
After being carried out of the tunnel by Zhao Xun in front of so many people, Li Taiping suddenly had two blushes on his cheeks.
She blushed with embarrassment.
But in Zhao Xun's opinion, this is nothing at all.
After all, the two have made their relationship public, and all the senior brothers and sisters in the academy have known about it for a long time.
"How about it? As I said, I will definitely be able to bring you back to the academy safely. I always keep my word, right?"
"Um"
For a moment, Li Taiping was extremely shy.
She really did not see the wrong person. You can always trust Zhao Xun and Zhao Mingyun.
Men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.
It was the right choice for her to choose such a lover.
