"Your Majesty, do you want to summon the Cui family?"
Guo Xiang looked at the empress longingly. Logically speaking, when a holy sect enters the capital, the first person they should pay a visit to is Your Majesty.
Chen Guogong intercepted the beard halfway, which was inconsistent with etiquette and showed the ambition of the Chen family.
Of course Guo Xiang would not say these words.
The empress thought for a moment and was about to answer when Zhao An suddenly yawned and walked into the imperial study.
Such nonsense made Guo Xiang confused.
Zhao An paused, stood firm and smiled playfully, "Master Guo is here too."
"Did Eunuch Zhao know that the Holy Sect has entered the capital? He is currently in Tianshuiyuan."
"Compared to Tianshuiyuan, the Zajia family cares more about Mr. Guo. Is your wife okay?"
When Zhao An refused to open any pot, Guo Xiang's face darkened and he said angrily, "I'd better not talk about my family affairs in front of His Majesty. Besides, I never believe in rumors."
"The Za family is concerned about Mr. Guo's reputation. Jia Dongliu is nothing. He dares to covet Mrs. Ling just because of his trust in the country."
Zhao An said nonsense seriously.
The empress also asked "uncomprehendingly": "I also know this. Jia Dongliu has gone too far. If Mr. Guo feels aggrieved, you can tell me clearly."
Guo Xiang hesitated and talked for a long time, not wanting to mention the scandal at home.
In fact, these days he is investigating whether his wife and Jia Dongliu are related.
Seeing this, the empress did not continue to press, otherwise it would be counterproductive, and she had to find a suitable opportunity to win over him, so she asked Guo Xiang to go back to the Ministry of Rites to prepare to receive the Holy Sect.
Now Chen Guogong suddenly goes to see the Cui family, most likely to talk about Qiu Wei. If the Cui family agrees, they will be very passive.
Zhao An said lazily: "The Cui family will not agree to anything so straightforwardly, because you are the leader of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the disaster relief work in the capital has been handled very well. Let Cui Shixiang take them to Xinxiang to see it later."
In the afternoon, I left the palace alone and met Cui Shixiang in Cuilan Garden.
The latter said mysteriously: "My sister is also here. She just told me that Chen Guogong promised my old man many benefits, but he didn't agree to it, and he is not in a hurry to enter the palace to meet the saint."
Zhao An simply said it bluntly, what should the Cui family do to deal with Chen Guogong?
Cui Shixiang said helplessly: "I also want to help you, but the Holy Sect has always advocated academics and has not agreed to the old fox. It may not agree to cooperate with you. If I am the master of the matter, of course I am willing."
"I want to meet the old man."
Zhao An made a request, Cui Shixiang still shook his head, he couldn't see it now.
The old man just said that we would like to thank guests behind closed doors today, and there will be a party tomorrow at Tianshui Courtyard. It is unknown what will be discussed.
Earlier, news of the Holy Sect's entry into the capital came out, and many local celebrities and schools had already entered the capital. There should be a debate.
"Give me an invitation."
Zhao An had to go. Even if he had to stand on the opposite side of Chen Guogong, he couldn't back down, because in the eyes of the officials, the situation in the court was clearly divided. The most popular person in front of him represented the imperial power. If he didn't go, it would appear that the imperial power was too weak and he was supporting him. Poor Adou.
Cui Shixiang had already prepared the invitation, and then mysteriously revealed the news that Xu Ruqing, the number one talent in Kyushu, was also here. She was a representative of the Southern Holy Sect, and she came to Beijing this time for the Cui family.
Cui Shixiang almost drooled when he mentioned Xu Ruqing, who was unspeakably coquettish and vulgar.
This is the first time Zhao An has heard of this name. Since she is just a talented girl, she doesn't look very good, right?
"Nonsense, Miss Xu is extremely talented and beautiful. You will definitely be shocked when you see her. She is good at deduction of the five elements. It is said that she can predict good and bad luck. Her miraculous stories are reported in the world. Chen Guogong has always wanted to invite her as a guest, but she But he refused.”
"Is it metaphysics..."
Zhao An felt strange in his heart. Is it possible to cultivate immortality in this world?
Eighty percent of it is based on hearsay and spreading rumors.
"Hey, hey, look at the beauty."
Suddenly Cui Shixiang pointed out the window excitedly, and Zhao An looked around. On the street outside, a figure dressed in white, wearing a white gauze hat, and holding a long sword walked past. Judging from the rise and fall of her chest, she should be a girl, but... The human feeling is very sharp.
Absolute master!
"I bet it's a beauty."
Being so high up, he couldn't see the other person's face because it was covered by a round hat, but Cui Shixiang was very sure it was a fairy.
Zhao An said disdainfully: "Maybe it was a back attack?"
"What's the explanation?"
"The shadows from behind mesmerized thousands of troops, and all the men who looked back jumped off the building."
Zhao An opened his mouth without a proper expression, and Cui Shixiang laughed loudly when he heard this.
The laughter spread to the street, and just as the woman passed by, she suddenly stopped. Cui Shixiang whistled, "Sister, look up, I guess you are a beauty."
He was simply dissolute. If Zhao An didn't know the details of this guy, he wouldn't believe that he was from a saintly family.
He's a fucking heir!
The woman stood motionless on the street. The next second, the long sword in her palm opened a slit, and a sharp cold light flashed. Zhao An was so frightened that he pressed down Cui Shixiang's head. At the same time, a cold light swept across, and the two of them almost escaped. Collapsed to the ground.
Both of their hair crowns had a corner cut off!
"My dear mother, this woman is at least the ninth grade."
Cui Shixiang didn't dare to scream anymore. He covered his head and kept knocking his teeth.
Zhao An also took a breath, which meant that this woman was more powerful than Jia Dongliu!
The two of them were just seeking death!
When he looked again, he saw that the woman had sheathed the sword and walked away indifferently holding the sword. Zhao An gritted his teeth and shouted: "My martial arts skills are amazing! Come and chop me down if you are a brother!"
The woman turned back suddenly. At this moment, both Zhao An and Cui Shixiang felt that they were in love.
The face was like a white fox, delicate and cold, and the pupils under the heroic eyebrows were extremely cold, as if there was a condensed sword light.
Apparently she is a master of swordsmanship.
After the two parties met each other, the woman walked away again, feeling extremely cheerful.
Zhao An slapped Cui Shixiang angrily, "Everyone has left, don't watch."
"Brother, have you ever heard of the Heaven, Earth and People List?"
Cui Shixiang looked excited.
In addition to the countless strong men in the imperial army, there are also many powerful characters in the world. There is a list of people in heaven and earth. This woman is definitely the best on the list. Unfortunately, such characters are usually retainers or retainers of big families.
Zhao An thought thoughtfully, if he could take such an outstanding person under his command, he would not be able to deal with Chen Guogong in the future.
"You are overthinking. Chen Guogong must have strong men on the Heavenly Ranking as his retainers, but they are not generals and are not as high-profile as Jia Dongliu. I think this girl is probably coming to my Cui family. Maybe she can be at tomorrow's banquet. See."
Cui Shixiang is very caring and doesn't seem to worry about the other party being harmful to the Cui family at all.
Zhao An's curiosity was as high as ever, and he secretly made up his mind to accept this woman as his subordinate.
After a drink, Cui Shixiang left shortly, and the bird came back. The disaster relief went smoothly, but Chen Guogong planned to take the Cui family to the Dagu River to see the refugees, so there was no need to worry about not being able to protect them all.
