In the bustling Fuli City, a carriage with simple decorations slowly walked along the north-south avenue named Huxiao in the city. The soldiers on the tall palace wall in front were clearly visible. The driver turned his horse and turned into a side street next to it.
The car arrived in front of a grand mansion, and the car curtains were slightly opened. The people in the car looked at the red painted door and nodded slightly. The soldier guarding the door just glanced at it and opened the door to the east courtyard.
The east courtyard is where the owner lives his daily life, but the carriage goes straight into it, and it looks familiar, indicating that it has been there many times.
The carriage stopped in front of the main hall in the front yard, with a pink embroidered shoe stretched out. The carriage driver quickly stepped forward and placed the horse stool. Another young man holding a knife stretched out his arm and asked the woman to hold his arm and get out of the carriage.
Zhao Ling stood in front of the hall and looked up at the black golden nanmu plaque hanging on the door, on which the three characters "Jingxin Hall" were inscribed with flying phoenixes.
After glancing at Xiang Qi beside him, Zhao Ling walked up the steps lightly, nodded slightly to the guard at the door, and then went straight into the hall.
As soon as they entered the door, a man's furious voice came from inside, "Trash, two people can't even kill a young boy, so I say that the Qi Practitioners are just a bunch of weaklings, and there is no way they can use real swords or guns." "
Zhao Ling paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he was now a Qi practitioner, and Li Yi had retrieved a rare herb called Linglong Heart for him from the Great Relic Continent. His cultivation qualifications were far beyond what he had been before. The name of this coward fell on him, which can be said to be safe.
Women should be soft and soft, only then will men like them. However, this Zhao Linge has ruined the name of Jingxin Hall, so it would be better to change to Naoxin Hall.
Under the secret ridicule, Zhao Ling kept walking. Zhao Linge, who was venting his anger, heard the footsteps and shouted, "Sister, you are here, that damn Wu Gen is not dead, he was sent back to Shenwu Academy, and is now being taken care of by that madman Luo Bing.
The two people sent there were also missing. Cross Slope was already under strict guard by people sent by Zhaoxuan Division, and they were unable to get close to inquire about the situation.
Moreover, I heard that my father has already intended to canonize Wu Gen and the others as nobles. If he waits until he becomes a noble, it will not be easy to do it. "
Zhao Ling glanced at Rong Kui, who was sitting beside the old god, with a smile on his face, "Brother, why are you so angry? So what if he becomes a nobleman? There are not many noblemen who die every year. It's just a waste of time." Just some twists and turns." He said and sat on the right side of the main seat.
"I know this too. It's just that it would be satisfying to kill him like this. When he becomes a nobleman, there will be so many twists and turns. It gives me a headache just thinking about it."
Zhao Linge sat slumped on the chair, grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip. He immediately became furious and threw the teacup at the silent maid who was hiding in the distance. "Slave dog, you don't know how to change the tea when it's cold. I see." You all deserve to die."
How could the maid withstand his angry blow? She fainted on the spot, but was dragged out by two guards.
Zhao Ling frowned slightly and looked at Rong Kui opposite, who just shook his head slightly.
Zhao Linge turned his head and said in a rough voice: "Sister, that loser Zhao Linchen didn't even convince Wu Gen to cast a spell. Now I don't have any solid evidence to report him. What should I do?"
Zhao Ling smiled slightly and said, "Brother Emperor, this witchcraft is both real and fake. Why do you need to have solid evidence to make a few wooden figures and hide them in his mansion? Regardless of whether it is true or not, this reputation will definitely be ruined."
Zhao Linge thought for a while and slammed the table, "Sister, you should be quick-thinking. Okay, I'll do as you say. This way, neither Wu Gen nor Zhao Linge can escape. It's just a pity that Zhu Buzhan escaped."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Rong Kui, but he really called him his duty, "Young Master Rong, you need to put more thought into Zhu Buzhan's place and find a few more people to join him. In fact, Lao Zhu is quite a good person. It’s just a pity that he’s on the wrong team.”
Rong Kui slightly cupped his hands and said, "Prince, please rest assured, I will do it myself. However, this time I let Wu Gen run away. This mad dog doesn't know what he is going to do. I hope the prince will be more careful."
"I know." Zhao Linge waved his hands impatiently, quite disrespectful to the man who according to common etiquette should be his uncle, "That's just a bedbug. It was just a fluke that he escaped this time. I'll fix it next time." I will chop off his head and give it to the young master."
The three discussed for a long time, and Rong Kui left first, leaving only Zhao Linge and Zhao Ling in the house.
Zhao Linge glanced at this charming and graceful woman, and his throat twitched. Normally he had seen a lot of women, but every time he saw Zhao Ling, he still had a thrilling feeling.
He moved his hand for a moment, but then put it down. He had heard a lot about Zhao Ling in private. He didn't dare to get involved in this trouble. Do you really think that his father was too stupid to see this? At this critical moment, if you can let go of some happiness, let it go.
"Sister, you are not young, but you want to find a good match in Beijing, so your brother can help you find a match." Zhao Linge suddenly said.
"Oh." Zhao Ling woke up from his trance and cast a charming glance at the second prince, "Thank you very much, brother. It's just that I don't have any affection for my children anymore. I only hope that brother can ascend to the throne as soon as possible." , take care of it once or twice, and it will last for the rest of your life."
"Don't worry, as long as you sincerely help me, when things come true in the future, you will never forget the friendship between sisters." Zhao Linge waved his hand, which was quite heroic.
Zhao Ling looked at this proud brother with a smile, as if he had everything in hand, but he did not doubt his promise. Although Zhao Linge is rude and violent, he is quite good compared to some royal children. At least he is less scheming and can keep his promises.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ling suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Emperor, were you involved in the herring case back then?"
Zhao Linge frowned and had an unlucky look on his face, "I had a fierce fight with Zhao Linchen back then. Zhao Linchen had some evil thoughts because he was eager to get the upper hand. However, my father was kind and couldn't bear to deal with it, so he was imprisoned.
When he was unlucky, some people thought it was me, but I really didn't do anything. He was just sitting at home and pots fell from the sky. "
Zhao Ling thought for a while and asked: "Is it possible that it's the eldest princess and Rong Kui?"
Zhao Linge turned around and stared at Zhao Ling, but the latter was not afraid and could only sigh, "I also had this suspicion, but after asking many times, both of them refused to admit it.
These two people are not good birds. They are just using each other. But my sister has been sincerely helping me. Brother Huang will rely on you more in the future. "
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry, my heart is always with Brother Huang."
After waiting for the second prince's residence, Zhao Ling opened the curtains and silently looked at the increasingly smaller red lacquered door with a complicated expression.
The car did not return to the residence, but turned around and turned into a deserted road and stopped in front of a mill. I sent the coachman to a distant place and waited for a long time, but no one came here, except for the occasional bird passing by.
"Would you like to come down and walk around? People won't come anymore." Xiang Qi turned his head and asked in a low voice, with concern in his words.
"No, wait." Zhao Ling spoke concisely and bluntly.
Xiang Qi sighed slightly and could only stand silently in front of the car.
Dede, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats, and a black carriage appeared from the corner of the alley, heading straight for Zhao Ling.
Xiang Qi clenched the handle of the knife at his waist and stared coldly at the approaching carriage.
The black carriage drove up to Zhao Ling's car and stopped slowly. The people in the car did not get out of the car or raise the curtains. A guard stood opposite Xiang Qi, a few steps away from each other.
"Zhao Linge is going to use witchcraft to deal with Zhao Linchen and Wu Gen. He is a little anxious." Zhao Ling's voice sounded from behind the curtain.
"That boy named Wu Gen didn't die, so he was lucky. This time Rong Kui spent so much money, but it all came to nothing." A man's voice came from the black carriage.
"They underestimate Wu Gen too much, including you. You have never taken him seriously. I have dealt with Wu Gen a lot. He seems to be a rogue with no deep connections in the city, but in fact he is extremely cunning. If it can't be killed with one blow, sooner or later it will survive like weeds on the roadside.
Moreover, news came from Xingluoyuan that this person actually attracted a group of garrison disciples. Although his current strength is still insignificant, sooner or later, this force will gradually grow and dominate Xingluoyuan. "Zhao Ling's voice rose a little, and it sounded a bit emotional.
"Have you been teased by him before, so you are so bitter about it?" The man still disagreed, "However, this person just happened to be involved in this situation, so it is worth taking a closer look. Since he has a grudge against Rong Kui, You might as well save his life first. You are a person who wants to do big things, so don't be blinded by these small complaints. In addition, Zhao Linchen should take a break, the timing is not right."
Zhao Ling was silent for a long time, and then he said doubtfully: "Zhao Linge is acting more and more unscrupulously. Why do Rong Kui and the eldest princess want to protect him? I don't think the relationship between them is very strong."
The man chuckled when he heard the words, "The reason why Rong Kui and Zhao Rong are close to Zhao Linge is because he is shallow-minded and easy to control. Even if he ascends the throne in the future, he will be sure to control him.
This eldest princess is very ambitious. And Rong Kui, who climbed from a commoner to such a position step by step, is also a legend. But now that he is in a high position and has huge wealth, he talks about his love and respect. He spent the whole day opposing Zhu Buzhan, who advocated improving the three-product scale.
So, some people were originally pigs and sheep at the lowest level, but they suddenly turned into ligers, and they were more ferocious than other beasts when dealing with their former kind. On this point, Zhu Buzhan's approach really doesn't work.
But neither of them thought about how Zhao Linge could ascend to the throne. In today's world, there are three forces that influence the emperor's decision-making.
One is the power of the practitioners on the mountain, and this power is getting stronger and stronger. Zhao Linge has always been fond of martial arts and has always despised Qigong practitioners. How can you support him on the mountain?
The second is the civil servants in the DPRK. These people have always been dissatisfied with the military officials and control the direction of the DPRK's major affairs. They are naturally dissatisfied with Zhao Linge.
The third was the military generals from various places. Zhao Linge had always been close to these people, but not many of them really took refuge in him, and the emperor never allowed him to get involved in the military power. However, there is a fourth force that is about to emerge, and it has a lot to offer you. "
At this point, the man paused.
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "Please enlighten me."
"The Divine Sect. I heard that the Divine Sect intends to expand its power to Beizhou. In the next few days, it may go to Zhao State to discuss the establishment of a temple." The man blurted out and told Zhao Ling an unexpected news. "If you think about controlling the power of Qi Practitioners, it is extremely difficult in today's situation. It is better to rely on the power of the Divine Religion."
Zhao Ling had heard of this name. The divine religion originated from a foreign continent and was said to be quite powerful. However, it was just beyond the reach of Beizhou.
"Even if the divine sect intends to intervene in Beizhou, it is a newcomer and has little power. How can it decide the change of the throne." Zhao Ling was a little confused.
"Who said that the Divine Cult was a new arrival? It had already invaded Zhao State more than ten years ago. However, the opposition forces in the DPRK were very strong at that time and they were blocked. Did you know that Zhu Buzhan's wife is the Divine Cult? The man." The man told the secret in an understatement.
"What? Jia Wenyun is a member of the divine religion." Zhao Ling suddenly opened the curtains.
