In this world, fame and fortune bring nothing but success and failure.
Take the leader's desire to restore the country as an example. If he really succeeded in using the power of the Western Regions to spread Dawei from the east, then Emperor Dawei would be a traitor who stole the artifacts of the previous dynasty. If a few imperial literati are appointed to write some powerful and ignorant articles, the people of the world will think that this is the case.
But if he fails to succeed, the world will have to change its story.
All in all, whoever wins will be justified and can represent morality.
However, these things are always a game where a few people fight to satisfy their own selfish desires, and have nothing to do with the lives of the masses.
The common people don't care who their names are in the world, they just want to have enough to eat and sleep well. If the court does not charge heavy taxes, does not collect labor, and cannot afford war, then it is a good court and a good emperor.
Since ancient times, people have suffered from rise and fall...
Unfortunately, the more obvious the truth is, the less they care about it.
The leader had traveled thousands of miles away from the imperial city and huddled in a corner of the Western Region, but he had not forgotten the dragon chair.
As for the world mentioned by the leader and Yuan Mingkong...
The world is too big.
It was so big that Zhao Rang didn't know if he could finish his life.
But he knew very well that no matter how big the world was, if there were no friends, how lonely would it be?
Zhao Rang also knew very well that the leader would not agree to the last condition he proposed. But if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be Zhao Rang.
The earthworm shakes the tree, and the mantis' arm blocks the car. Although it is of no use, the muscles and bones are still there.
Just when he was about to compromise, a gust of fragrant wind suddenly penetrated the curtain and blew on everyone's face.
Zhao Rang had never smelled this kind of fragrance. It was different from the elegance of Dawei incense and the warmth of Western spices. It was completely independent of the two.
Zhao Rang sniffed hard, and the scent went straight up from his nose, rushed into the Tianling Gai, whirled again, and spit it out from his mouth. He immediately felt refreshed and his body felt light. It seemed as if what he just exhaled was not a breath, but the filth accumulated in his body for more than twenty years.
Looking at Yuan Mingkong, Ximen Dazhuang, and Haidiye who were still immersed in the effects of Tongtian Pill just now, they also showed signs of waking up under the blow of this fragrant wind.
Among the three, Haidiya had the highest level of martial arts training, so he opened his eyes first.
After waking up, although he still felt chaotic and upside down, his expression seemed to have returned to normal.
Yuan Mingkong and Ximen Dazhuang woke up together. They looked around dully, and then stared at Zhao Rang together.
But Zhao Rang, the only sober person from beginning to end, had no idea what was going on.
When Ximen Dazhuang saw the leader and the three of them, he immediately became energetic and prepared to attack again. Yuan Mingkong squeezed his thigh hard, which made him endure the pain.
Yuan Mingkong saw that Zhao Rang's expression was as usual, and he guessed that nothing happened just now. Now that he has regained consciousness, his limbs are intact, and he is still alive, there is no need to worry about anything else.
After confirming that his friend was fine, Zhao Rang thought it was the leader who took action.
Zhao Rang immediately realized that the fragrant wind just now was not caused by the leader.
Apart from Ye Sanniang, Zhao Rang could not think of anyone else who could detoxify Tongtian Pill and still stand by him.
"The fragrance of beauty is filled with golden peony in the wind, and the jade flute is used when cyclists come."
The leader calmed down and chanted a poem.
He stood up and took out a set of exquisite agate wine vessels from the cabinet. He held them in both hands and placed them upright beside him.
"You two follow me out of the cabinet to greet me."
After setting up the wine vessels, the leader said to Amani and Hong Jiang.
"Leader, may I ask...who is it?"
The leader smiled and replied:
"Cyclamen!"
"Some guests are distinguished guests, but some are celestial guests. Distinguished guests can be invited with a little effort, but celestial guests are hard to come by."
Amani and Hong Jiang half understood.
The two of them were very confused when they saw that the leader was not angry because the real fragrant wind had detoxified the Tongtian Pills of the three people.
"Don't bother me. I can find my own way in."
Sure enough, it was Ye Sanniang’s voice!
Ever since he and Yuan Mingkong listened to Haidiya's words and went to the northwest market to find the "stranger" who knew everything, Ye Sanniang had no idea where she went.
When he heard that she had left and returned, Zhao Rang felt relieved.
Seeing the leader's respectful and polite look, he suddenly felt proud and proud after having been frustrated all night.
However, the more Zhao Rang came into contact with Ye Sanniang, the more he realized that he didn't understand Ye Sanniang at all.
This woman is like an incomprehensible riddle, a problem that cannot be solved.
Whenever Zhao Rang felt that he knew her well enough and was confident enough, Ye Sanniang would come up with something new and break all his existing perceptions.
As time passed, Zhao Rang no longer dared to make judgments easily. He only knew that she was definitely not as simple as the proprietress of an inn in Yangguan and a third-level martial arts master.
When people without permission entered the water pavilion, those strong men were ready to stop them.
They couldn't hear what the leader said just now, so they were ready to drive Ye Sanniang out.
But they stood in front of Ye Sanniang one after another, but no one could stop her.
Ye Sanniang walked slowly and unhurriedly, without any movement in her body. But these strong men just couldn't stop her, as if Ye Sanniang was just a shadow, their illusion, empty.
It wasn't until the leader made a gesture to them that these strong men stopped their awkward actions, stepped aside and continued to remain silent.
Ye Sanniang had already arrived at the table, and Zhao Rang saw that she had changed her clothes, which was not the one she wore when she left Qingshan Guest.
Feeling that Zhao Rang was looking at her, Ye Sanniang's cold face regained some warmth. She smiled lightly at him, nodded slightly, and then said to the leader:
"Let the leader worry about it! But this little girl can't bear the word "fairy guest".
The leader stood up and saluted Ye Sanniang with his fists in hand and said:
"Of course, above all distinguished guests, there are immortal guests. If Ye Sanniang is not one, who else can be?"
Ye Sanniang didn't want to be polite to him, so she walked directly to the seat prepared by the leader and sat down.
The leader immediately poured a glass of wine into the agate wine bowl in front of Ye Sanniang, and Ye Sanniang picked up the bowl and drank it all.
After downing three bowls of wine in a row, he reached out to block the leader's fourth bowl of wine.
"Okay, we met, we talked, and we drank."
After saying that, Ye Sanniang didn't give the leader any room to reply. After looking at Zhao Rang, he stood up and prepared to walk out of the water pavilion.
The meaning of these words is clear.
You detained my people, and I came to see you to give you face. They talked again and drank wine, which was enough to save their face.
Face is the step.
The steps have been repaired. Just walk down them. What else is there to say?
Seeing this situation, Amani knew that she was no match for Ye Sanniang, so she did nothing.
Hong Jiang is different.
She had just been punished by the leader for procrastinating in dealing with General Manager Li. She was just looking for an opportunity to perform well so that she could offset her merits and demerits.
In addition, she had fought against Ye Sanniang before in Chagan Torogai, and she felt that if she gave her best, she would definitely be able to dominate the opponent.
