Today, Zhao Xun somewhat understands.
Having a group of lovely senior brothers and sisters is a happy worry.
The price for gaining a sense of security is that you have to be with them all the time, and you have to answer even the dumbest questions.
This consumes a lot of energy and requires a lot of time to recover, which are all costs.
But now is not the time to calculate costs. The academy is now Zhao Xun's biggest support, and he must hold tightly to the thighs of his senior brothers and sisters.
As for his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, he naturally has to divide his energy.
Talisman is not Zhao Xun's specialty, and he needs more time to practice.
In this way, the time Zhao Xun spends in the Yamen will have to be reduced.
Prince Qi's Mansion is now as heavily guarded as Chang'an City.
Taking advantage of King Yan's experience, King Qi's palace was filled with bodyguards from practitioners both inside and outside.
If they encounter a suspicious person, they will take action immediately without hesitation.
Fortunately, there are no major cases to be handled recently.
When Zhao Xun left the delinquent office, Wangcai and Jia Xingwen helped keep an eye on him, and Zhao Xun felt relieved.
However, when he left the Bad People's Yamen that day, it was not to meet his senior brothers and sisters in the academy, nor to meet his mentor Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi, but to meet his sweetheart.
"Young Master Zhao is here. Please come in quickly."
When the concierge saw Zhao Xun coming, he quickly welcomed Zhao Xun in with a smile.
"Are you here to see His Highness the County Lord?"
Of course Zhao Xun is not a suspicious person.
The guards of Prince Qi's Mansion have long been familiar with this red-purple nobleman in Chang'an City.
Zhao Xun is very likely to become the son-in-law of King Qi in the future. Therefore, everyone in Prince Qi's palace wanted to lick Zhao Xun hard.
…
"Bad Zhao Xun, dead Zhao Xun. If you haven't come to see me for so long, you won't fall in love with me anymore, right?"
Li Taiping, the head of Yonghe County, looked at the pool of spring water in front of him, but he was in a bad mood.
"Well, His Highness the County Lord is in the palace now?"
"Yes, yes. The villain will take you there."
…
"If love lasts for a long time, how can it last forever? This sentence sounds reasonable, but how many people can really do it?"
Li Taiping sighed and said, "Zhao Lang, when will you understand a girl's thoughts?"
"Your Highness the County Lord, Your Highness the County Lord!"
For a girl, Huaichun is definitely an extremely painful thing.
Thinking of her lover, my heart throbbed.
The feeling of not getting what you want is really killing you.
Of course Li Taiping would not consider who this Master Zhao is.
It must be Zhao Lang without a doubt!
Li Taiping stood up impatiently and headed out to greet him.
At this moment, Li Taiping saw his personal maid running towards her and frowned: "What happened?"
"It's Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao is here."
"What!"
"I haven't seen you lose weight in the past few days."
Zhao Xun stretched out his right hand and gently touched Li Taiping's cheek, saying with some distress.
"Not yet..."
When she walked to the moon gate, she almost bumped into Zhao Xun who was coming towards her.
"Zhao Lang...you are here."
Li Taiping felt a little nervous in his heart and lowered his head slightly, biting his lips tightly.
"Well, that's my fault. I put all my energy into the office and ignored your feelings. Let me make it up to you."
Zhao Xun grabbed Li Taiping's hand and said affectionately: "When the northern barbarians and the Demon Sect are defeated, I will ask my father to formally propose marriage to His Highness King Qi."
"What!"
When the words came to his lips, Li Taiping felt a little unable to speak.
"It's not what you want."
In the end, Li Taiping mustered up the courage to speak his mind.
Although Wangcai is not a good person on weekdays, he can still handle big things clearly.
Wangcai is a few years younger than Zhao Xun, and now they are engaged. Zhao Xun cannot fall behind too far.
"Isn't this the last step between us? What's so sudden?"
Li Taiping was taken aback, and his whole face turned red.
"Why is it so sudden? I'm not mentally prepared at all."
The reason why Zhao Xun suddenly mentioned this matter to Li Taiping was actually stimulated by the wealth.
Although Li Taiping was vaguely looking forward to getting married, there had to be a process of relaxation.
"Well, it seems I was too impatient?"
Zhao Xun was really confused.
Zhao Xun said with affection and tenderness: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you."
"It's so sudden... people are not ready yet."
Li Taiping was a little panicked. Of course she believed that Zhao Xun was deeply and sincerely devoted to him. But the problem is that it's too sudden.
Seeing that Li Taiping was hesitant to speak, Zhao Xun was completely speechless.
Oh my God, please spare me. Is there something you can’t just tell me directly?
It's not the first time they've met, so why are they so hesitant to talk?
A girl's thoughts are simply too difficult to guess, and she can change her face even faster.
"It's not that I'm in a hurry. It's just..."
“…”
It seems that no matter what era, picking up girls is a technical job.
If you want to successfully pick up girls, you must learn a love guide.
…
"Oh, forget it."
Li Taiping turned away and clasped his fingers, leaving Zhao Xun with his back.
Zhao Xun was numb.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
At the moment, Zhao Xun has no way to specifically guarantee anything to Li Taiping, but he can give Li Taiping peace of mind.
Chang'an City is defended by hundreds of thousands of troops, and with so many practitioners guarding it, how can it be bullied by prairie barbarians at will?
…
The two of them sat down one after another in the pavilion, chatting incessantly while feeding the koi in the pond.
"Zhao Lang, do you think we can survive this time? In my impression, Chang'an City has never been under martial law for such a long time. It seems that we are really in big trouble this time."
"No, I'm ready. I just, I just felt a little..."
Li Taiping's complexion was flushed and his breathing was rapid.
But the more this happened, the more Zhao Xun was moved.
"You told me just now that you would propose marriage to my father after Chang'an City is out of trouble. Are you sincere?"
"Of course I mean it. You are the only one in my heart, you know."
Seeing that Li Taiping took the initiative to lead the topic in this direction, Zhao Xun quickly added: "Of course, if you are not ready yet, just pretend that I didn't say it."
Zhao Xun frowned.
Is it Emperor Xianlong again?
Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who doesn't want to be a son of man, wouldn't want to ruin his good deeds at this time, right?
In fact, it was these details that really attracted Li Taiping to him.
There is no pretense in every frown and smile, just follow your heart, it’s great to follow your heart.
"There shouldn't be any cards set up at my father's place, but it's hard to tell from Grandpa Huang's place."
"Nonsense, there is no way!"
Li Taiping quits now.
"I won't allow you to humiliate yourself like this."
Are they really lifelong enemies?
"Emperor Xianlong...Oh no, His Majesty won't stop it, right?"
Zhao Xun spread his hands and said: "Our two families are well matched, I should be worthy of you, right? Does your Majesty think that my status has insulted the clan daughter?"
"Haha, it seems Taiping still cares about me."
"Well…"
Li Taiping lowered his head, feeling a little shy.
Although the surname is Li, the emperor and the nobles rule the world together.
The Duke of the Kingdom is already the first rank among the nobles except the king.
There were no kings with different surnames in the Zhou Dynasty. If the King of Qi was dissatisfied with Zhao Xun's status as the prince, could he still find a son-in-law from his own relatives?
"Zhao Lang..."
"Don't worry, I'll come to see you in a few days. If our love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"
"Um…"
Zhao Xun chatted with Li Taiping about the romantic and snowy night, and the time passed quite quickly.
About an hour later, the sky gradually darkened.
Zhao Xun stood up reluctantly and said, "I have to go back to the Yamen."
"Teacher? Why are you here?"
"My dear disciple, haven't you noticed that the formation in this city has become much weaker?"
"Well…"
…
…
After coming out of Prince Qi's Mansion, Zhao Xun went straight to the Bad Guy's Yamen, but on the way back to the Yamen, he met Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi.
But my mentor Wu Quanyi is different.
My mentor is a second-grade practitioner and a member of the Taoist sect.
He is extremely sensitive to changes in the talisman array. If the talisman array really becomes weak, his mentor will be able to sense it immediately.
Zhao Xun thought to himself that he really hadn't noticed this change.
Although his mentor has begun to teach him the talisman formation technique, Zhao Xun has only learned a superficial knowledge so far.
In addition, because of his low level of cultivation, he is currently unable to sense the changes in the Chang'an Talisman Array.
"Is this person from the Demon Sect?"
"pretty close."
"So the Demon Sect's secret chess in Chang'an City has not been cleared yet..."
"So, what do you think is the reason, mentor?"
"Of course someone in the city is secretly sabotaging it."
Taoist Priest Qinglian said without hesitation.
When the war starts, the city will be on fire...
"These guys are destroying the talisman formation. When the war starts, they will definitely do their best to destroy it."
Zhao Xun clenched his fists angrily.
"certainly…"
After the master-disciple conversation, Zhao Xun felt a lot heavier.
According to the current situation, the number of Demon Sect members in Chang'an City is far greater than he imagined. If this continues, it will be impossible to eradicate all these hidden chessmen in a short period of time.
This is Zhao Xun's bottom line, and he absolutely cannot accept it.
"Teacher, can the talisman array be repaired?"
"Of course. The talisman array was set up by humans, and of course it can be repaired. Even if these demon sect practitioners don't destroy it artificially, there will definitely be wear and tear over the years."
Now his hatred for the Demon Sect has reached its peak.
Because the Demon Sect’s target is not just Emperor Xianlong, not just the royal family and the nobility.
They also extended their claws to the defenseless people.
The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light.
The enemy struck first, and Zhao Xun and others could only respond passively.
This is a step slower.
After a pause, Wu Quanyi continued: "But first you have to find the damaged area of the formation, and then you can repair it accordingly."
"Well…"
Sure enough, here is the difficulty.
Wu Quanyi nodded.
"Is there anything that my disciple can help you with?"
Although he knew that his knowledge was still shallow, Zhao Xun still hoped to be able to help.
If the location of the destroyed formation cannot be accurately determined, the next problem will be even more difficult to solve.
"So, my mentor, you have been wandering around the streets of Chang'an City these days just to find out where the talisman array has been damaged and repair it?"
"Yes."
There is strength in numbers, and one more person means more effort, which is always a good thing.
…
…
"If you really want to help, inform the bad guys to conduct observations at various locations in Dafang City. See if there is any loss."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Chang'an City is so big, how long can it take for the teacher to check the wear and tear of the talisman array alone?
"I met my mentor on the way back to the Yamen. My mentor said that the formation guarding Chang'an City has suffered serious damage recently. It should be deliberately sabotaged by someone."
Zhao Xun said worriedly.
"hiss…"
"Brother Jia, Wangcai will inform everyone in the yamen to go to the array points in each Dafang District to observe whether there is any loss of the talisman array."
"Ah, brother Mingyun, what are you doing?"
Wangcai looked surprised.
Zhao Xun was also helpless.
"What we can do now is to find the damaged parts as much as possible and repair them. It's too slow to rely on the mentor alone. So I want to mobilize all the bad guys."
"Ahem..."
The little fat man gasped.
"It seems that he is probably a practitioner of the Demon Sect."
"good."
He had been holding back all this time because he was really worried about those old purple-robed delinquents.
But now he won't worry anymore.
Zhao Xun took out a piece of paper from nowhere.
Jia Xingwen finally understood the cause and effect.
"But Mingyun, do you understand at all? This is actually not the job of a delinquent. You are still relatively young, and those purple-robed delinquents are already dissatisfied with you. If they use the topic to their advantage, what should they do with all kinds of criticisms against you? good?"
Zhao Xun has actually considered this issue for a long time.
If people think you are a soft persimmon, the other party will take advantage of you and take advantage of you.
The court is the same as nature, both natural selection and survival of the fittest.
This is a world of the weak and the strong, and giving in is tantamount to giving up.
"This is a handwritten letter from the bad handsome man Master Feng who used teleportation from Shazhou. In the letter, Master Feng clarified my responsibilities. I am now the acting bad handsome man approved by the court and Master Feng. Those people are honest and honest That’s fine, if they are dishonest and want to make small moves, then don’t blame me for not caring about my colleagues.”
A stern look flashed in Zhao Xun's eyes: "I never cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either. If I mess with anyone, I'll kill him. I'll do it to death."
After almost a year of experience, Zhao Xun understood one thing, that is, you must not be timid when serving as an official in the government.
In fact, he could roughly guess who would jump out and do harm to Zhao Xun.
But it’s one thing to be clear, and another to be truly certain.
After all, no one who can reach high positions is a fuel-efficient lamp.
If you want to protect yourself and the people you cherish, you must learn to be strong.
"Okay, now that you have made your decision, we will fully support you. But don't just take out Mr. Feng's handwriting right away. You can first see who is ambitious."
Jia Xingwen has been among delinquents much longer than Zhao Xun, and he is more aware of the complex interpersonal relationships in the delinquent yamen.
These guys are like venomous snakes. They usually hide themselves very well. Only when a fatal blow is needed, they will spit out their poisonous snakes and bite them fiercely.
