By the pool, Wu Gen's mind was spinning. He didn't know why Zhao Ling suddenly asked about such a topic.
The art of witchcraft has always been wary of people, and it has repeatedly caused uproar in the palaces of various countries. How many heads fell, and how many historical processes were rewritten.
Hearing this suddenly, Wu Gen felt a warning sign in his heart. Is this royal princess testing him or has other intentions?
"Well, I have a question for you." Zhao Ling turned around, narrowed his phoenix eyes, and looked at Wu Gen coldly.
Wu Gen was lowering his head to organize his words, "Look up and look at me. Could it be that I'm so ugly?" Zhao Ling, however, became a little impatient, scolded in a cold voice, and reached out to lift Wu Gen's chin.
Looking at the other party's stern gaze, Wu Gen smiled instead and gently took his hand away from his chin, "Master, do you want me to know how to do it or not?"
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Zhao Ling suddenly smiled and said, "Then I understand."
Knowing your size, Wu Gen cursed in his heart, he didn't say he knew these methods.
At this moment, a person stood up from the darkness beside the pool and walked staggering along the stone bank. "Sister, how come this servant comes here to ruin the scenery in such a sultry spring time. I haven't seen you for a few days, and my sister is getting more and more excited." It’s so beautiful and beautiful.”
Wu Gen turned around and saw a young man walking over. His hair was spread over his shoulders. His appearance was serious, but there was a shadow between his eyebrows.
"Oh, cousin, why are you here?" Zhao Ling looked at the other party with a smile, and the gauze on his shoulders slid down a little.
"My aunt was afraid that something might happen to you, so she sent me over early to take care of you. I originally wanted to hide it and give my sister a surprise, but I didn't want to be disappointed by this person. I haven't had enough luck, so I couldn't do anything." The man looked at Zhao Ling greedily, his behavior was frivolous. .
Seeing the ambiguity between the two, Wu Gen wisely prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Zhao Ling suddenly spoke and signaled the maid to pick up a copper slip by the pool and gave it to Wu Gen, "This Wentian Sect is really not doing its job properly. I originally thought it was some kind of alchemy method, but I didn't expect it to be some kind of tofu." Food. I’ll give it to you, Wu Gen.”
After taking the copper slip, Wu Gen bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He glanced at the edge of the pool, wondering if there were other rewards for Zhao Ling.
"Hurry up and leave." The man was a little angry.
Wu Gen had no choice but to turn around and leave. A man's voice came from behind and asked, "Isn't your new look good? My sister's eyesight is a bit off."
"Hey, I'm just a little cucumber. I have to smooth my hair slowly to avoid pricking my hands."
…
Wu Gen roared in his heart, your whole family is a face, your whole family is a green melon, and he stormed back to the camp angrily.
The next day, the team set off early. Going further, there are gradually more people. Looking at the familiar scene, everyone felt a little like they were in another world.
Now that they have arrived here, there should be no more risks. Zhang Yuan and Sha Chu are not ready to go all the way to Guanxi City again, so they bid farewell to Zhao Ling. This time, out of the forty people, only two people were left, which was quite miserable.
"The two of you worked bravely to kill the thieves on this trip. I will keep my word to Qin County. The others who unfortunately fell at the hands of the thieves will also be compensated." Zhao Ling said as he glanced at Wu Gen meaningfully and waved to let them go. People leave.
Zhang Yuan once secretly told Wu Gen that Zhao Ling privately recruited him to serve in the palace guard, but he refused. Several generations of the Zhang family had worked in the border areas, and he really didn't want to leave.
Everyone has his own ambitions, and the right choice is the best. With his temperament, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get a good job in the Guards Army. It would be better to stay in the Xiang Army, where a group of old buddies help each other and feel more comfortable.
Looking at Zhang Yuan's leaving figure, Wu Gen sighed. If he walked further down, he would have to walk alone. No, there was an extra Chu Ji.
The convoy passed through the county and soon arrived at Guanxi City. Along the way, Zhao Ling was tired of being with his "cousin" all day long, but he didn't bother Wu Gen anymore. However, every time he saw Wu Gen, his "cousin" would always show vague hostility.
Compared with Dingyuan City, Guanxi City is obviously much more regulated. There are only twelve city gates, which can be said to be a big city in the Zhao Kingdom.
When we were still ten miles away from the city, the broad streets were already filled with officials and gentlemen, all welcoming Zhao Ling back. The surrounding area has been closed for a long time, and people passing by can only take a detour.
The leader was a young man with a short beard, sitting on the horse with his eyes slightly closed. With such a demeanor, Ruoda's team was silent.
When the motorcade arrived in front of everyone, the young man got off his horse and glanced at his "cousin" who was following the carriage, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"Sister, this trip has been hard, but the journey has been smooth." The young man said.
Zhao Ling got out of the car. Compared with the casual dress on the road, he had a high bun on his head, a floor-length fairy skirt, and a huge blue bird hairpin that was really eye-catching. "Thank you, brother, for coming all the way. Thanks to the blessing of my father, Ling'er's trip went smoothly, and fortunately he did not disgrace his life."
The young man looked at the somewhat dilapidated carriage behind Zhao Ling and said warmly: "My sister has had a bumpy trip. Now that we are home, we might as well change into a more comfortable carriage." He turned and pointed to a luxurious carriage on the road with twelve horses. The sturdy horse pulls.
Zhao Ling looked up and said with a smile: "That's all, my brother actually drove a twelve-horse chariot to greet him. Only the current emperor can ride on it. My little sister is not lucky enough to be so lucky."
The young man slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "I'm careless. I just wanted my sister to ride more comfortably, but I almost violated a taboo, so I'll just get rid of four horses." With that, he was about to ask someone to get rid of the four horses.
"No need, my brother is kind and my sister understands it well. I'm used to riding in this car along the way, so I'll keep it as usual. My father must be impatient to wait, so we'd better enter the city quickly." Zhao Ling smiled and turned around. Got his own carriage.
"Eh..." The young man couldn't stop him, so he could only laugh and said, "Okay, just listen to my sister." He got on his horse in dismay.
Watching these two people operating together, Wu Gen felt a bit toothache. As expected, once he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, full of intrigues, seemingly incompatible with each other, and none of them were energy-saving lamps. I guessed that this person wanted to rob Zhao Ling of what he had gained, but he didn't realize that his sister was also a human spirit, so he blocked her away.
A group of people surrounded the convoy and walked towards the city.
When they arrived at the palace, Wu Gen's eyes widened. The courtyard wall of this palace can't be seen at a glance, and it occupies at least half of the land of Guanxi City.
The entrance is heavily guarded, and the high palace gate is closely guarded by soldiers. No one is allowed to approach within a hundred steps.
Unfortunately, Wu Gen and Chu Ji could not follow him inside, but were sent to a side courtyard, which was close to Zhao Ling's daily living place.
Wu Gen and Chu Ji settled down. Poor little Chu Ji had never seen such a spectacular house before. It wasn't until he sat down that he sighed quietly: "How many children have been born in their family and they have built so many houses."
Not to mention the sighs of the two rustics, as soon as Zhao Ling returned home, he took the carriage to the palace to meet his father, King Zhao Chang of Jinchun. As for her brother Zhao Qian, he followed closely.
Zhao Changnian, about fifty, with three strands of white beard and a whisk in his hand, sat on a chair and watched his son and daughter come in.
"Father, my son has fulfilled his mission and finally brought back the Wentian Sect's classics." As soon as Zhao Ling entered the palace, he knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
Zhao Chang nodded slightly and said, "I've suffered." He motioned to present the items in the car.
The guards presented various utensils, jade slips, gold foil and other things, and placed them all over the floor. Zhao Chang stood up and looked among various objects, his face trembling slightly. This is the property of a large sect. Not to mention anything else, each of these jade slips is priceless in this world.
After walking around in a circle, Zhao Chang gently stroked his beard and said, "Very good. Ling'er will be credited with a great contribution this time. Get up quickly and tell me how the trip went."
Zhao Qian, who was kneeling next to him, turned pale and glanced at Zhao Ling quietly.
Zhao Ling ignored the strange looks around him and stood up to talk about the hardships and dangers along the way. He did not mention sharing the harvest with Yun Ming, but said that he had killed many thieves.
His expression was as usual when he spoke, neither arrogant nor anxious, but Zhao Chang could tell that Zhao Ling's trip was not that smooth, it could even be said to be full of dangers, and he couldn't help but feel happy secretly.
My daughter has been smart and intelligent since she was a child, no less intelligent than a man. The reason why she was given such an important responsibility this time was because she was capable of doing things and had many methods.
As for his son's expression, it was natural that he could not escape his eyes, so Zhao Chang was not worried about it. The two children fought overtly and covertly, which was only to their advantage as King Jinchun. Therefore, all along, Zhao Chang has been encouraging his two children to fight for victory, both openly and secretly.
After talking about the journey on the road, Zhao Ling knelt down again and said, "Please forgive me, my father. I was in danger when I was on the road. I promised that one person would confer Ding status to this noble man. I hope my father will fulfill his promise."
Zhao Qian, who was beside him, heard this and said loudly: "My sister's move is very inappropriate. How can the noble Ding Ji make such a promise casually? You must know that only if there is an heir in the house, can you report the favor of the court."
Is it possible that I have to give you and I multiple brothers and sisters? Wouldn’t it be a joke if word spread about this? Just give him some random rewards now and then, why bother being so serious? "
Zhao Ling said nothing and just looked at his father silently.
Zhao Chang raised his eyebrows. Zhao Ling never did business at a loss. If you give away one point, you will get ten points back.
Just like Zhang Qing, the nephew of his concubine, the elder in the family is the elder of the Genshan Clan of the Great Cultivation Sect of the State of Zhao, and he thinks he has taken advantage of his own daughter. Little did he know where the extra qi training scriptures that had been produced in the palace over the years came from.
This nephew Zhang worked so hard to move them out of the door and took advantage. I don’t know who took advantage of whom. A little sacrifice is nothing compared to the great cause of spiritual practice.
"Ling'er, is there something different about this person?" Zhao Chang asked with a pleasant tone, ignoring his somewhat agitated son.
"Father, this person may be a descendant of the garrison. He is not afraid of the fog. If he enters Xingluo Plain again in the future, then..."
"Oh, that's of some use, just for later use."
"Father, this man is cunning, has many tricks, and is very good at using force. If he can be gathered together, he will be a great help to the family."
"That's okay. There are some people with advanced martial arts skills in the palace."
"Father." Zhao Ling lowered his voice and said word by word, "This man is also a soul master and knows the art of witchcraft and Gu."
As soon as these words came out, the palace suddenly became quiet. Chang Zhao looked stunned and drove all the guards out with a wave of his hand.
"This is true." Zhao Chang stared at his daughter.
"It's absolutely true. When I asked Tianzong that day, I found out that this person has some means of defeating evil spirits, so he must be a spirit master. My daughter also asked him if he knew the art of witchcraft and Gu. He didn't say it clearly. He just said that if her daughter wanted him, Yes, such pretense is just a way to wait for a price."
Zhao Chang took a breath of cold air, narrowed his eyes slightly, pinched his long beard and pondered.
Zhao Ling came closer and said, "Father, even the girl he gave to the Ding family has supernatural powers and can see some weird things."
"In other words, if you buy one, you will get another one as a gift. Then who is this Ding Ji for?"
"Give it to the girl. As long as the little guy is here, he can't escape."
"Maybe you can handle it."
"Father, don't worry, he is just a little cucumber."
"That's right. I have a new baby in my family, and I'm afraid that the boy sitting on the dragon's throne won't give him a proper title."
Hahaha, Zhao Chang's laughter resounded throughout the hall.
