Chapter 167 The hurricane begins at the end of Qingping
The sixth day of December is the last day of the "Ten Days Promise".
This is also the last chance for Xiao Feng and Wei Changtian to change their minds.
People will face countless choices, large and small, in this life, and every choice will lead your life to a completely different future.
No one can predict in advance whether this future will be good or bad, or perhaps these futures are not good or bad at all.
Li Shimin, who was accused of killing his brother, killed the prince and seized the throne, creating a prosperous era called the "Reign of Zhenguan".
But if there had been no Xuanwu Gate Incident and Li Jiancheng had successfully ascended the throne, would the future of the Tang Dynasty be uncertain?
Another example is Lu Xun, who gave up medicine and turned to literature to save the country, Han Xin, who could endure the humiliation of his crotch, Liu Bang, who faced the ultimate problem of "choosing his wife or the world"...
If Lu Xun had not written the sentence "If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence"; if Han Xin had not got into the butcher's crotch; if Liu Bang had chosen Lu...
What will happen next, no one knows.
But one thing is certain, that is, even if history happens again, ten times, or a hundred times, these people will still make the same choice.
From this perspective, there may be no fork in the road in life.
Whether they are big figures standing on the edge of the historical wave, or all living beings submerged in the wave, they are actually all wrapped up in the invisible wheel of fate, and they just keep moving forward along that winding but only road.
And now this invisible and intangible huge wave is also surging, Wei Changtian and Xiao Feng are destined to have this battle today.
Neither of them returned to "rationality" at the last moment, or in other words, they had already made what they thought was the most rational choice.
What's the point of compassion? Life or death is up to Jun.
The so-called fate is nothing more than this.
...
At night, Xu time.
There are still two hours left before the "decisive battle".
Qin Zhengqiu has always been very active in the matter of "killing Xiao Feng and helping his grandson become an immortal". He brought four of Wei Changtian's uncles here yesterday.
Qingxian came this morning.
Wei Zhaohai arrived in Shuzhou City in the afternoon.
With his arrival, Wei Changtian's "lineup" was finally complete.
Three second-grade and five third-grade.
Counting Wei Changtian himself, there were nine people in total.
"Master Qin."
"Haha, Brother Zhaohai..."
Among the nine people, apart from Qingxian, Qin Zhengqiu and Wei Zhaohai have the highest status. Although they have not seen each other for a long time, they are in-laws after all, so they are not strangers.
After the two were polite, they stopped talking and sat on their chairs with their eyes closed to relax.
Liang Zhen in the corner looked at this and that, and finally touched his nose and turned his attention to Qing Xian, who was sitting next to Wei Changtian.
Wei Changtian once said that there are three second grades.
Then this fairy-like figure should be the one left.
The only people present who knew Qingxian were Wei Changtian and Qin Zhengqiu, and neither of them had introduced Qingxian's identity, so Liang Zhen didn't know that the stunning woman in front of him was actually the Demon King of Shiwan Mountain.
Liang Zhen actually wanted to ask who this beauty Wei Changtian was, but due to the large number of people in the room, he finally held back and planned to wait until tonight's incident was over.
But it is estimated that after he really knows Qingxian's gender, he may not be as interested as he is now.
The sandalwood scent lingered in the dark room, and there was no trace of the tension before the war.
No one thought anything unexpected would happen tonight.
With this lineup, let alone killing the unknown Xiao Feng, I'm afraid there is no chance of killing Ning Yongnian.
Only Wei Changtian was still a little worried, always feeling that things would not develop as smoothly as he expected.
However, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. All human resources have been exhausted, and what is left is destiny.
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
After getting up and coming to Wei Zhaohai and Qin Zhengqiu's side, Wei Changtian bent down and asked in a low voice, "I'll go out and stay for a while."
"Um."
The two old men didn't open their eyes and just nodded.
After bowing slightly to Liang Zhen and his four uncles, Wei Changtian turned around and walked out of the dark room.
The darkroom where Ning Yuke lived before was right next to it, but she no longer lives here.
In order to make it easier for her to train the undercover agents of the boat club, Chu Xianping found a new place for her to live outside. It seems to be relatively hidden and safe at the moment.
Although Wei Changtian knew the address, he had never been there even once.
Of course he knew that as long as he hooked up with her, Ning Yuke would willingly throw herself into her arms immediately.
but......
Shaking his head and not thinking any more, he walked back to his bedroom along the stone steps.
When I opened the door and came out, I saw the moon and stars were sparse, and the small courtyard was as peaceful as ever.
Zhang San was still on his way back from the capital. Li Suyue was probably bored at home alone, so she came over to chat with Yuan'er again.
She is only one month pregnant and there is no visible change in her figure yet, but she will put her hand on her belly gently when she talks and look very happy.
"What are you talking about?" Wei Changtian walked over and asked with a smile.
"master......"
Li Suyue quickly stood up and gave a slight blessing.
She is indeed much better than Yuan'er when it comes to etiquette.
"Master, the slave family is telling Yuan'er about some customs during the New Year in Shuzhou."
"New Year's Eve?"
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Chinese New Year was indeed coming in less than a month.
I don’t know who between me and Xiao Feng will miss this New Year...
"Are there any more cooking cakes?"
Suddenly, Wei Changtian asked again softly.
"Ah? There is some. I'll go get it right away."
Li Suyue hurriedly ran to the cookhouse, and soon there were bursts of firelight in the window. It must be that she was making a fire to heat pancakes.
"Sir, didn't you just have dinner?"
Yuan'er on the side asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to eat cooking cakes again? Is it because dinner doesn't suit your appetite?"
"No."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "I just want to eat it."
"Keke, my lord, you are so greedy!"
Yuan'er covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I think I'll just keep a basket of cooking cakes in the young master's house from now on, so that the young master can eat it whenever he wants!"
"That won't taste good." Wei Changtian smiled.
"How can the same thing not taste good?" Yuan'er was puzzled.
"The easier it is to get something, the less you care..."
In Yuan'er's half-understanding eyes, Wei Changtian sighed: "The more you are about to lose, the more you know how to cherish it."
"Sir...what happened to you today?"
Yuan'er hesitated and whispered: "It seems weird..."
"Is it strange?"
Wei Changtian turned his head to look at the watery Yuan'er, and suddenly reached out and pinched her little face without any warning.
Yuan'er suddenly stared wide-eyed and remained motionless, her cheeks flushed red.
"Yuan'er, I didn't realize it before..."
Wei Changtian pinched and asked with a smile: "Why is your face so fat?"
"Mr. Master, you are talking nonsense!"
Yuan'er was so embarrassed, but she didn't dare to slap Wei Changtian's hand away, so she could only protest: "You, I'm not fat!"
"Ha ha!"
Wei Changtian laughed happily and finally let go of his hand: "Okay, okay, you won't be fat if you say you're not fat."
"It was originally..."
Yuan'er argued, and then muttered in a low voice with a guilty conscience: "At worst, I'll eat less in the future..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wei Changtian laughed even louder when he heard this, and deliberately joked: "What? Are you afraid that I will dislike you for being fat?"
"Isn't that what you mean, Master!"
Yuan'er angrily defended herself: "Besides, it doesn't matter if you are fatter. People say that if you are fatter, you can have a son!"
"Then I didn't see you giving birth to me... Huh?"
Wei Changtian suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Yuan'er, have your menstruation been normal?"
"..."
Yuan'er was stunned by such an embarrassing question.
Although she was not so embarrassed that she couldn't speak, her voice was as low as a mosquito's hum.
"Mr. Master, why do you ask this? Of course it's normal..."
"That's strange."
Wei Changtian asked curiously: "Zhang San and Li Suyue got married less than a month ago, why have you been silent?"
"Master, this question is strange."
Yuan'er blinked: "Madam is not pregnant yet, how can I be pregnant first?"
Hmm? Is there any other way to say this?
Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then you... took medicine?"
"Um."
Yuan'er nodded and complained softly: "That medicine is so bitter..."
"..."
Wei Changtian was speechless for a while and didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Li Suyue had already walked over with steaming pancakes at this time.
"Master, cook the cakes."
"good."
Wei Changtian took the cooking cake, suddenly pinched Yuan'er's little face, smiled and said:
"No matter what happens in the future, remember to eat and drink as you should, and don't wrong yourself."
...
While biting into the cooking cakes, I wandered from the front yard to the back yard.
This is Liang Qin and Achun's territory.
Liang Qin was still practicing the Guichen Sword, wielding the sword with great care, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
I have practiced ten thousand swords a day for two months, but the results are not impressive. Now I am just getting started.
It only took Xu Qingwan half a month to reach where she is today.
"Brother Changtian."
When she saw Wei Changtian, she immediately put away her sword and ran over, and asked proudly: "How do you think my Guichen Sword is going?"
"fine."
Wei Changtian smiled and said: "If I go to cut the Immortal Locking Stone again, I guess it won't leave only a white mark like before."
"Humph! Brother Changtian knows how to laugh at me!"
Liang Qin turned his head away pretending to be angry, but he could not hide the joy on his lips.
"How can this be a joke on you? Isn't it a good thing to be better than before?"
Wei Changtian touched his nose: "Let's go on to practice swordsmanship. I'll leave after saying a few words to Achun."
"It's so late, Brother Changtian, where are you going?"
Liang Qin turned around and asked warily: "Are you going to visit a brothel?"
"..."
Wei Changtian said amusedly: "Qin'er, did I say before that you are becoming more and more like a person?"
"I......"
Liang Qin felt angry for a while, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she blurted out something.
"Miss Lu has already married into the Wei family, and I have not!"
After saying this, she didn't wait for Wei Changtian to answer, she lowered her head and ran away with the knife in her hand.
Um?
Are you angry? Or shy?
Looking at the figure that had run away, Wei Changtian didn't understand Liang Qin's thoughts for a while.
But after thinking for a while, he vaguely understood.
In fact, Liang Qin was not jealous of Lu Jingyao, but more importantly, he did not want to compare her with other women.
You become more and more like a different person.
Doesn’t this mean that the status of “you” in my heart is not as good as “the other”?
Good guy, when did Lu Jingyao have such a status in her heart?
Tsk tsk tsk.
After smacking his lips, Wei Changtian finally walked to Achun, who had been looking at him for a long time.
"Master."
The little girl stood up, bowed respectfully, and began to report on her cultivation progress as usual.
"Today I meditated for three hours and practiced the Guiyuan Gong for two hours. The energy in my Dantian has filled twenty-two meridians..."
"Um......"
Wei Changtian asked seriously: "Why is the practice time today shorter than usual by one hour?"
"Are you lazy?!"
"Ah Chun doesn't dare to be lazy."
Ah Chun explained in a weak voice: "Master, Master, it's only Haishi, and today is not over yet..."
Wow, I forgot about this.
Wei Changtian was a little embarrassed, but he could not lose his majesty as a master, so he forced his respect and said:
"Ahem! Of course I know that!"
"I mean, why don't you practice now? If you're not lazy, what are you doing?!"
"Ah, Ah Chun realized that he was wrong..."
Ah Chun felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to argue anymore, and quickly adjusted his sitting posture to continue meditating.
Wei Changtian thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Practice hard these two days, and I will take you to release the flying lanterns the day after tomorrow."
"ah!"
Ah Chun has never been out since he came to Shuzhou, so when he heard this, he immediately became energetic and excitedly said: "Yes, Master! I will definitely practice hard!"
"Don't just talk, start now."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and waited there for a while. It was not until Achun completely entered the state of breathing that he turned around and left.
Is it Hai hour...?
There is still half a piece of the pancake in my hand, and it is no longer hot at this moment.
Standing in front of the tunnel entrance leading to the dark room, he finished half of the pancake in one bite.
He dusted off the debris in his hands, grabbed the star scabbard on the table, and tightened the red rope tied to the handle.
It's almost time.
...
After a stick of incense.
Wei Changtian walked out of the gate of the small house alone. He paused for a moment and then disappeared into the dark night.
The night was quiet, and nothing seemed to happen.
However, Wei Changtian was closely followed by nine first-rate masters.
Whether it is the second or third grade, they all belong to the "upper third grade" realm, and it is very easy to hide one's figure in the night.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Zhengqiu and others, who were all focused on Wei Changtian, did not notice the other second-grade master who was also following not far away.
The black brocade robe was shaking, and Li Huaizhong's eyes were a little cold.
In fact, this old eunuch has been paying attention to Wei Changtian's movements recently.
However, because the imperial court's power in Shuzhou was somewhat weak and Wei Changtian acted very cautiously, nothing was ever found.
But just two days ago, a secret letter flew from the palace and was delivered to him.
Wei Zhaohai may come to Shuzhou to find out what the Wei family is up to.
Of course the emperor's order must be carried out, so Li Huaizhong personally went out to keep an eye on Wei Changtian for two days.
"Seven or eight people are all masters..."
Li Huaizhong kept his distance while observing the dark shadows that appeared and disappeared in front of him.
He felt that Wei Zhaohai must be among them, but he couldn't guess what Wei Changtian was going to do with such a group of people in the middle of the night.
Although he couldn't guess, the old eunuch always had an ominous premonition in his heart when he looked at the clear night sky that was no different from the past.
