"good."
In the small courtyard, Fa Ru heard what the Confucian leader meant and nodded, "I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time. Do I need to prepare any etiquette?"
"Need not."
Li Youwei shook her head slightly and said, "Faru, you can just come to Li Garden."
"This is not okay."
Faru smiled and said, "Proposing a marriage is a big deal anyway. Girl of the Li family, you go back first, and I will have a good discussion with the Confucian leader about the ceremony."
"Um."
Li Youwei nodded, then bowed respectfully to the two old men and said, "Youwei, please leave."
After speaking, Li Youwei left without staying any longer, holding an umbrella.
"This girl from the Li family is not simple."
After Li Youwei left, Faru's old face showed a touch of emotion and said, "After living for so many years, this is the first time I have seen a woman come to the door in person and invite others to come to propose marriage."
"The three Li brothers and sisters are all extraordinary people. It's a pity that too much wisdom is easily lost."
Confucius sighed softly and said, "Twenty years ago, it was not easy for this girl to survive by chance. Now, it is difficult to survive this disaster safely."
"Since the Confucian leader knew this, why did he still agree to the marriage?" Fa Ru asked puzzledly.
"What's coming is coming, and you can't hide from it."
Confucius looked at the chessboard in front of him and said, "Besides, a girl has taken the initiative to propose it. As elders who forget to speak, it is really unreasonable for us to have no response."
"Speaking of Wangyu, he and that boy from the Li family should be back soon."
Faru said softly, "When Wangyu comes back, we need to discuss this matter with him."
"Wangyu, I must agree."
Confucius said calmly, "Let's prepare in advance and try to get there before the court."
"good."
Farru nodded and responded.
The cold wind blew up, rolling up a waterfall of snowflakes and falling on the chessboard.
"It's getting really cold today."
Kong Qiu glanced at the heavy snow falling outside and sighed softly.
"Winter is coming, so it will naturally be colder."
Faru also moved his gaze, looking at the snow outside, and responded.
"I'm just afraid that this cold winter will be different from before."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Confucius's vicissitudes of life, and he said, "If the cold winter comes, the people of the world will suffer again."
"It's just a cold winter, but fortunately, the monsters in Mobei have been driven back to the far north."
Faru looked solemnly and said, "I hope those monsters won't come back in a short time."
"The extreme night and cold winter are their source of strength."
Confucius looked at the north and said softly, "As long as the weather stays this cold, they will come back sooner or later."
at the same time.
The far north, the coldest place in Kyushu.
It is shrouded in darkness all year round, and everything you can see is ice and snow.
The polar night and cold winter are the biggest characteristics of the Far North.
Here, there is no sunshine all year round, and it is difficult for anything to survive.
Except, monster!
Contrary to humans who like light and warmth, if monsters want to reproduce their species, they must live in the dark night and severe cold.
With diametrically opposite living habits, humans and monsters are destined to be in natural opposition.
Deep in the far north, somewhere, in the huge ice and snow mountain gorge, ice coffins are rising and falling. Inside the ice coffins, terrifying auras are looming, and every aura is at least at the level of a demon king.
There are even several demon kings.
The hidden strength of the demon race is no less than that of the human race.
"Winter is coming."
In front of countless ice coffins, Qing Qing stood quietly. Zhong Lingyu's beautiful face was icy cold. He looked at the other eight states and said in a cold voice, "The time for the demon clan to rule the world is coming soon."
"The will shown by the human race in the previous battle was astonishing."
Beside, the water was filled with light, and the Water Mirror Demon King spoke softly, "Human race, as the goddess said, is not that easy to deal with."
"The human race is strong, but unfortunately, it is not united."
Qingqing said with an indifferent expression, "The cold winter is coming, and the human race's resources will become less and less. In order to compete for resources, wars will inevitably break out among the human races. War means consumption. When the extreme night really comes, the human race will be unable to resist. Our demon tribe’s offensive.”
"Many of the people in Mobei I saw have died in the severe cold, and may not be able to hold on any longer."
The Demon Emperor Shui Jing sighed softly, "Our demon race is not afraid of the severe cold, but the human race is deeply afraid of the severe cold. From this point of view, the human race and the demon race are destined to not coexist peacefully."
“Only when you have strength can you have the right to speak.”
Qingqing said coldly, "No matter what the final outcome of the human race and the demon race is, the demon race cannot lose the war between the two races, otherwise, they will be driven back to the far north like this time. Although the demon race likes the night and the It’s cold, but the resources in this far north are too scarce!”
"Um."
The Water Mirror Demon King nodded and said, "There won't be another time."
"That boy from the Li family is a big trouble."
A cold look flashed in Qingqing's eyes, and he said, "If there is a chance, we must get rid of him."
"Li Ziye?"
The Shuijing Demon King frowned slightly and said, "His second brother is also too talented in martial arts and may become our formidable enemy in the future."
"The Li family is a small family. Unexpectedly, there will be two variables that are beyond common sense."
Qingqing's eyes narrowed and he said, "However, no matter how strong the human race is, we can still compete. As long as that one doesn't break out, it's okay. After all, all the power of the demon race comes from him."
"That one probably reached some agreement with that young man from the Li family."
There was also a hint of worry in the eyes of the Shui Jing Demon Emperor, and he said, "In the last war between us and the human race, that man had already absorbed a lot of power. In addition, the Confucian sect's Dharma Confucian leader's skills were also absorbed by him. Take them all away. Thinking about it, the blood and cultivation of so many people can restore at least 20% of his strength. I am worried that the abyss will not be able to trap him soon."
"Don't worry yet."
Qingqing said in a deep voice, "But no matter what, we can't let that person have any chance to absorb the power of the human race or the demon race."
"I see."
The Water Mirror Demon King responded, "I will continue to strengthen the seal and prevent anyone from having a chance to contact that person."
"Shui Jing, thank you for your hard work."
Qingqing said seriously, "You have been helping me all this time. I, a goddess, have never done anything for you."
"The goddess sealing that person is the greatest kindness to us."
A smile appeared on Shui Jing Demon Emperor's face, and he said, "That one is too terrifying for us. Only the goddess has a chance to compete with him."
"I do it for myself too."
Qingqing stared at the boundless night and murmured softly.
In the dark night, it gradually became quiet.
"goddess."
After a long time, the Water Mirror Demon King looked at the world outside the night and said, "I want to take advantage of this cold winter to go to the human world and see what the demon girl said about the human heart."
"That's fine."
Qingqing thought for a while, nodded and said, "Take Xuanfeng with you when you leave. He is only half a step away from the emperor's realm. Perhaps a journey in the human world can help him make a breakthrough."
"Um."
The Water Mirror Demon King nodded and responded.
at the same time.
In eight parts of Mobei, after the cold winter arrives, herdsmen all huddle in felt tents and struggle to survive.
The weather in Mobei is even colder than that in the Central Plains. Fire is indispensable in the tent.
However, Mobei is different from the Central Plains. There are only a handful of people who can actually burn charcoal. The little cow and sheep dung they accumulate in daily life is not enough to burn it.
This winter has not been easy for both the Huyan tribe in the north and the Helian tribe in the south.
"Goddess."
From the Tantai tribe, a young general walked over quickly and said solemnly, "The coals are still not enough."
"Exchange the cattle and sheep with other tribes." Tantai Jingyue said coldly in front of the felt tent.
"It's not enough anymore."
Tantai Zhen said in a deep voice, "I have asked people from other tribes. Now, the entire Mobei is short of charcoal. This winter is too cold. In the past, Mobei could not use so much charcoal."
"Divide half of our coals and give them to families with elderly people and children."
Tantai Jingyue said in a deep voice, "Also, go ask the merchants in the Central Plains to see if you can buy charcoal."
"yes!"
Tantai Zhen responded, then turned around and left in a hurry.
"Winter!"
Tantai Jingyue stared at the heavy snow in the sky, a cold look flashed in her eyes, God, didn't he plan to give the people of Mobei a way to survive?
"Yue'er."
At this moment, an old and weak voice sounded from the rear tent.
Tantai Jingyue came back to her senses, turned around and walked into the tent.
"Father."
In the tent, Tantai Jingyue looked at her father in front of her and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
Since the beginning of winter, my father's health has been getting worse and worse. This winter has been really difficult.
"Better."
Lord Tantai said tiredly, "I heard what you just said about the charcoal. Are the charcoals of the tribe not enough?"
"Um."
Tantai Jingyue nodded slightly and said, "In the past, it was enough to light a charcoal fire during the coldest time. However, this winter is too cold and the charcoal is consumed too quickly. Many people no longer have charcoal in their homes. "
"Distribute some of our charcoal to the people." Lord Tantai said worriedly.
"Father, don't worry too much. I have asked Tantai Zhen to ask other tribes and businessmen in the Central Plains. I think it will be solved soon." Tantai Jingyue said softly.
"good."
Lord Tantai responded, and just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly felt a sense of extreme fatigue and sleepiness, and his consciousness gradually began to blur.
"If you are tired, father, just sleep a little longer and leave the clan affairs to your daughter." Tantai Jingyue saw this and said softly.
"Um."
Lord Tantai nodded drowsily and immediately fell asleep again.
Tantai Jingyue saw her father sleeping, carefully covered him with a quilt, and then left the tent.
"Somebody come!"
Outside the tent, Tantai Jingyue said.
"Goddess!"
A soldier walked over quickly and saluted.
"Send someone to contact the princes of Helan, Bai Di and Huyan tribes, and tell them that I have something important to discuss." Tantai Jingyue said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order and immediately turned around and left.
In front of the tent, Tantai Jingyue looked at the falling snow in the sky, her eyes becoming more and more solemn.
No more hesitation.
Otherwise, when next winter comes, the entire eight tribes in Mobei will die from the severe cold.
