Ling You looked at Xie Zhao, who was uncharacteristically silent, and suddenly asked: "Ah Zhao, do you think Shen Wei can succeed this time?"
Xie Zhao chuckled lightly, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
"Shen Wei... He is now in the Holy King Heaven Realm, while Lu Shangque is already in the Half-Step Void Heaven Realm. There is a whole big gap between them. Competing with Lu Shangque, there is no chance. There is no doubt that he will lose.
However, the result of the question has nothing to do with winning or losing in the competition. Even if Shen Wei loses in the martial arts competition, if he can overcome the Taoist calamity in his heart and break through the realm in this battle, it will be regarded as a success in Dao Dao. so......"
She turned her head with a smile.
"I bet he'll succeed."
Han Changsheng stepped forward and interrupted.
"Why?"
Xie Zhao shrugged, and his tone was calm and natural, as if he was commenting on whether the pancakes in the roadside market were delicious.
"Because Lu Shangque is a well-behaved person and very measured in his actions.
He respects the sword in his heart, so he will fight with all his heart; but he also knows how to respect people, so he will not seriously hurt the life of the second master of the Shen family... After all, Uncle Shen once served as the commander of the Imperial Army in Zhaoge for many years, and he also has a close relationship with him. It can be regarded as an acquaintance.
——If Shen Wei had to be accompanied by a master like Lu Shangque, even Shen Wei would not be able to break through the state of mind of the Saint King, then maybe this would be the end of his life and he could only stop here. "
Han Changsheng listened very carefully, but when he realized what he was saying, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her up and down for a long time, with a shabby look on his face as he hesitated to speak.
Xie Zhao glanced at him coolly.
"If you fart, just let it go. You are trying to make something mysterious."
Therefore, Han Changsheng immediately clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Nothing else, I'm just a little curious...A Zhao, how do you think you, a little novice from Jinyao Realm who has just started martial arts, can make such a serious comment? Are these Saint King Realm and Half-Step Void Realm masters?"
As he spoke, he made himself laugh first, then said, "A Zhao, are you really not embarrassed?"
Xie Zhao paused for a moment, and was choked by someone who couldn't move up or down.
The next moment, she turned around with a smile and said with a smile: "Because of love."
A group of four young men and women who followed the crowd and entered the North City Gate in an orderly manner decided to find a nearby inn to stay that night.
Zhaoge City, Xianju Inn.
"——What? Have you already been engaged?"
Han Changsheng looked at Yu Anan, who had always been embarrassed by Ai Ai, in astonishment, and was shocked in his heart.
"Didn't Mrs. Yu say that she has delayed you in Pingzhou all these years, so she didn't even tell you about a good marriage? Why is there already a marriage?"
When they first heard about this, Xie Zhao and Ling You were also a little confused.
They looked at the half-broken piece of jade that Yu Anan took out from the package in astonishment, and they were confused for a moment...
So... Yu Anan actually has a fiancé?
Yu An'an said shyly: "Nothing... it's not actually an engagement... it's just a drunken joke between my father and the uncle of the Li family before his death. My mother has never taken it seriously. Too true.
——My mother said that people in the army say all kinds of things when they are drunk, and most of those things are meaningless. But my mother knew that I might come to Zhaoge with you, so she gave me this jade before leaving, saying that my father had received it from Uncle Li in a drunken state. "
Speaking of this, Yu Anan seemed a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and said softly:
"...Mother is right. Now that our family is in decline, it's better not to make things difficult for others as we are a small family. Whether it's old things or tokens, I just happened to come to return them during this trip. It feels so easy.”
Xie Zhao looked at the half piece of jade with a bit of sadness.
She was a little puzzled: "Broken jade as a letter, each holding half of it - this is clearly a token of engagement. Why does Mrs. Yu think this is not an engagement? What if the young master of the Li family has been waiting for you - "
Xie Zhao paused and quickly ran through the generals named Zhaoge Li in his mind. Several candidates of the right age appeared in his mind, and then he frowned and asked tentatively:
"The 'Li Shibo' you are talking about could not be Li Suhe, the admiral of the Nine Sects, right?"
Yu Anan glanced at her in surprise, seemingly a little surprised by Xie Zhao's intelligence and acumen.
"Yes, Li Shibo is Mr. Li Suhe. How did Azhao guess it?"
Xie Zhao waved her hand, and she leaned back lazily on her chair again and said in a spiritless manner:
"...Hey, what's so hard to guess about this? Zhaoge City is both big and small - so many people with names and surnames are relatives of each other, and old friends are intertwined with each other. Yes. It is not difficult to think about the generals who had good relations with General Ping Wei back then."
It seems that ever since he approached Zhaoge City, Xie Zhao has always been weak, and he seems to have no energy to do anything...
Of course, she has actually been lazy in the past year or so, but it has been especially obvious in the past two days.
Yu Anan smiled slightly after hearing Xie Zhao's words.
This thing sounds really not difficult, but if you can smooth out the context of everything and blurt out the names of people in an instant, it is not that difficult...
However, she still smiled shyly: "Ah Zhao is really amazing."
Han Changsheng moved a chair by himself, sat closer to them, and then said with a look of concern for the country and the people:
"Oh, let's not worry about whether she is powerful or not at this time! Let's talk about the Li family's young master. What if the Li family's young master has always kept the old covenant and never got married? What should we do? You still want to cancel the marriage? ?"
Yu Anan was startled.
"No...it can't be right? How could a family like the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion..."
Ling You frowned slightly and asked:
"Have you never asked about it in all these years in Pingzhou City?"
Yu An'an shook his head when he heard this, and then said with some embarrassment: "Brother Ling is laughing at the fact that An'an has been living his own life behind closed doors with his mother for so many years, spending all his time around trivial matters such as firewood, rice, oil and salt... Let alone Zhaoge City, which is hundreds of miles away, we have never even inquired about several wealthy families in the east of Pingzhou City."
Han Changsheng said in surprise: "So, you don't know whether the young master of the Li family is married now?"
Yu Anan nodded slightly.
Xie Zhao suddenly said something at this time.
"There are two young masters in the Li family. In the past, when Mr. Li and General Yu exchanged tokens with their children and their families, which one was chosen for you?"
Han Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Is it possible that his two sons have never been married?"
Xie Zhao said "Hmm" and answered completely. In fact, she was worried about... not just this issue.
Speaking of the person she was engaged to be engaged to, Yu Anan seemed even more embarrassed. She whispered:
"Yes...he is the eldest son of the Li family."
