In the next few days, the three of them did not return to Beijing. Instead, they kept running around slaying demons as if rushing to the market, and killed four more monsters in total.
There is a demon-killing mission at Willow Leaf. Now the three of them have completed all the KPIs for the next month ahead of schedule, and everyone has gained a lot of extra gains.
Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng made money, while Wei Changtian improved his cultivation level.
After absorbing the Taoist practices of four more monsters, his realm has reached the peak of the seventh level, only one step away from the sixth level.
I have to say that the magical power of "catching demons" is really buggy!
If everyone wasn't a little tired, he really wanted to kill all the monsters he could remember at once.
However, there are advantages to killing slowly. At least you don't have to explain to Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen why your level has improved so quickly.
On the eighth day of September, after some calculations, the three of them finally ended their short and short journey to eliminate demons and set off back to Beijing.
…
noon.
The black carriage with the tiger dragon flag flying all the way into the east gate of the capital, no one of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate dared to stop it.
Not long after entering the city, the carriage slowly stopped at the roadside. Wei Changtian and the other three got out of the carriage one after another, preparing to go back to their respective homes and meet again tomorrow.
As a single dog, Zhou Cheng has to be fed dog food from time to time in the past few days. Now he can't take a bite, so he said hello and fled as fast as he could. Judging from the direction, he should be heading straight to Pingchangfang.
Go.
Wei Changtian watched him leave anxiously, and then asked Xu Qingwan.
"Do you want me to take you back?"
According to the views of previous feminist Vs, the subtext of a boy's question is - I don't want to send you back.
This theorem can also be applied to questions such as "What gift do you want?", "Do you need me to pick you up?", "Do you need some medicine for you?"
But in fact, for most boys, asking these questions is just to get a clear answer, and it really is not that complicated as they thought.
If you need it, say you need it; if you don't need it, say you don't need it. Is it interesting to keep guessing?
The idea of "if you love me, you will understand my thoughts" is pure nonsense in Wei Changtian's opinion.
Fortunately, Xu Qingwan has not yet been poisoned by this kind of chicken soup for the soul, so she just shook her head honestly at this time.
"No need, it's not good to be seen by family members."
"Okay, then in a few days I will ask my father to go to your house... Well, pay a visit and settle the matter between us."
Wei Changtian deliberately avoided the word "proposing marriage".
He actually didn't care about Xu Qingwan's status after marrying her, but Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen would definitely not allow Comrade Xiao Xu to be their official wife.
After all, even someone with Lu Jingyao's background has become a concubine, let alone such a female servant who is in public all day long.
And since she is not a legal wife, there is no such thing as "proposing marriage".
Of course Xu Qingwan also understood this, or it could be that she had already known her status after marrying into the Wei family, so she didn't feel anything wrong now, but her cheeks turned slightly red.
"It's all up to you. If you want to wait a little longer, just wait a little longer. I'm not in a hurry."
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry."
Wei Changtian had a wicked smile on his face: "You come in earlier so that we can practice together earlier!"
"Aren't we practicing together now?" Xu Qingwan was a little confused.
"Ahem, I'm talking about another kind of practice."
"..."
Xu Qingwan is not an ignorant little girl. Although she is a bit naive sometimes, she can still understand the meaning of Wei Changtian's words.
She didn't know how to answer the question, she just felt her face was burning so much that she just left a word and ran away.
"Then, then you should marry me earlier!"
"..."
The sun shines on the streets and alleys, the steam is boiling in the stalls on the roadside, and from time to time, attractive aromas float out.
Wei Changtian smiled, and then walked toward the Wei Mansion under the bright noon sun. He couldn't help but hum an advertising song from his previous life.
"The smile of the fat idol is not as sweet as yours~"
"The sunshine at noon in August is not as dazzling as you..."
Wei Changtian was very happy along the way, but unfortunately, this good mood ended abruptly when he returned to Wei Mansion.
…
In the study room, sandalwood scented the room and there was silence.
However, Wei Changtian and Wang Er, who were among them, both looked ugly.
Especially Wei Changtian, he never expected that the "Controversy between Liu and Wei" would develop so fast.
Just a few days after he left Beijing and went around killing monsters, the two families completely fell out without any warning!
It is difficult to trace who started the attack first. Anyway, the fight has spread to the entire capital with lightning speed.
Above the court, countless ginseng books were handed to Ning Yongnian like snowflakes every day. Whether they were from the Wei sect or the Liu sect, almost half of the court officials were involved, and a group of people were fighting with each other with red faces every day.
Under the court, the businesses of the Liu and Wei families also began to suffer from overt and covert calculations and suppression by the other party. Several Jianghu gangs participated in it. Smashing, looting, burning, and bloodshed on the streets became the norm.
Overall, it was a big mess, but not out of control.
It seems that today there are some tricks.
Wei Changtian knew in his heart that the reason why the fragile balance between the Liu and Wei families was suddenly broken was because of Ning Yongnian's push.
As for Xiao Feng...at present, he is at best a participant and promoter taking advantage of the situation, and his energy will definitely not affect the situation of the battle.
This is the same as myself.
All this happened too quickly. Wei Changtian himself, including the forces under his command, had not yet developed, so it was difficult to have any impact on the situation.
If he waits for a few more years, he may be able to decide the direction of this struggle, but right now, what he can do for the Wei family is very limited...
Forget it, if you can't help, then you can't help.
For me, as long as I can preserve my strength in the storm and kill Xiao Feng as planned, it is enough.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian finally gave Wang Er an order.
"Let's put the Freemasonry matters aside for the time being and stop recruiting new people. At the same time, slowly withdraw all the brothers from Chunshen Bookstore and try to make Li Yang's place as clean as possible."
"Tell Li Qian that Dali Temple should not take sides and remain neutral."
"Xuan Tianhui and Liu Mansion will send more people, and it's best to find a few craftsmen to get in."
"The little girl named Liu Yingying and her grandfather in Houqiu Village must be watched to death...Forget it, just capture them for me!"
"..."
After giving several orders in succession, Wei Changtian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Looking out through the window, Yuan'er is holding a bamboo pole to chase away the big hen that flew to the roof. Qiuyun is bending down to clean the chicken coop. Lu Jingyao is sitting in the pavilion with her head bowed embroidering handkerchiefs. Wei Qiaoling is still lying on the big ghost bed.
He was soundly asleep.
The rays of the setting sun clothed them in orange-red clothes, and the whole world seemed to have transformed into a gentle woman.
Looking at this scene, Wei Changtian suddenly felt that this was good.
There are women, relatives, and pets.
No worries about food and clothing, peace and tranquility.
well……
Touching the somewhat hot Zimu Jade at his waist, he looked away and gently closed the wooden window.
