After handling this matter, Ye Ming also felt relaxed. He smiled and greeted everyone back to the City God's Office for a celebration banquet.
Elder Guangxian and young monk Yuanqing were also called together.
On the contrary, Princess Lingbi still had a lot of things to do to deal with the aftermath, so she didn't do it all together.
Ye Ming sent another messenger to invite Taoist Priest Jing'an and the others.
These people are also running around everywhere, saying thank you for everything.
The group returned to Chenghuang Division and found that the five gentlemen were no longer as sad as before, and their mentality had been adjusted.
The second gentleman said that everyone has his own ambitions. As long as the older gentleman and the younger gentleman work hard, do more good deeds and refrain from doing evil, in fact, this choice does not matter.
After discussing it, they finally looked away.
Seeing that these few people got out of their depression so quickly, Ye Ming was also happy and invited everyone to have a banquet together.
During the banquet, everyone was changing glasses, singing, dancing and playing music.
Mr. San finally met Taoist Master Jing'an and took him to talk about wine.
These two really have a bad rapport... No, they hit it off immediately.
Not long after meeting, they started hugging each other, calling each other brothers, and talking about all kinds of fine wines.
Mr. San was very excited and took out the homemade bamboo shoot wine for Taoist Master Jing'an to taste.
Later, Taoist Master Jing'an said that the wine was not brewed well and it was hard to swallow as it did not look like something a human could drink.
The two of them talked and discussed ways to improve bamboo shoot wine.
Elder Guangxian and young monk Yuanqing behaved very well. After having a banquet for a while, the young monk said to Ye Ming:
"Zhengshen, I asked you to help find the new Buddha as I said before..."
"Oh~~This matter is easy to talk about. After today's banquet, I will immediately ask all the underworld agents to pay attention to this matter!"
Ye Ming naturally responded to this matter in a big way.
It's impossible to find it anyway, so just let people try their best to find it.
There was a joyful banquet on the Chenghuangsi side, but not on the front line.
After Shen Changgong's offensives in the previous few days were blocked, he chose to besiege the city.
By yesterday afternoon, large-scale siege equipment had been delivered from the rear. Just this morning, relying on these large-scale siege equipment, they launched a fierce attack on Yubi City.
Facing the enemy's tidal offensive, Di Feiyu held the Yanyue Sword and personally defended the city, resisting the enemy on the front line.
Seeing this, all the soldiers under my command defended the city with their lives, united as one.
The fighting lasted from morning till dusk.
After such a fierce siege, there were more than a thousand corpses in the city, and the moat was dyed red.
The number of Di Feiyu's defenders was much smaller than that of the enemy. After such a battle, the defense was quite fierce.
As the attacker, Shen Changgong also felt that his opponent was difficult to deal with.
When he helped Shen Qixian pacify the seven northern mansions before, he had never encountered such a powerful opponent.
After a big battle, they immediately reorganized their troops and planned to attack again tomorrow.
At this time, a spy came to report that the plague in Yanhua Prefecture had subsided, and Gaoxide was mobilizing an army to come to the aid of Yubi City.
Shen Changgong frowned when he received the news.
Unexpectedly, a great plague was resolved in less than a month.
If it drags on any longer, it may be somewhat detrimental to our side.
Seeing that he might not be able to capture Yubi City in a short time, Shen Changgong had no choice but to order his troops to retreat ten miles and wait for the next instructions from Shen Qixian.
The offensive and defensive battle was temporarily suspended, but the city gods of Lingbi Mansion were facing a formidable enemy.
During this period of fighting, another powerful evil spirit appeared on the battlefield.
This evil ghost was originally just an ordinary ghost mixed in the battlefield, but after continuously absorbing a large amount of evil and vicious energy, it turned into a ferocious evil ghost.
The city god Qian Si brought a group of undercover agents to suppress the evil spirit.
After a long battle over Yubi City, the two sides finally defeated the evil spirit.
It's just that although this ghost was defeated, it was not killed. It took the initiative to leave the battlefield and go away.
"Sir, this evil spirit has escaped. Do you want to chase him?"
You Yincha asked.
Chance looked at the direction in which he left and said:
"It seems that it is most likely going to Yanhua Mansion, so we don't need to worry about it."
"What if this evil spirit is evil?"
"Whoever's territory the evil ghost goes to should deal with it."
"Isn't this not good?"
"What's wrong? That little Ye Ming man got his way and deceived all the princesses of our Lingbi Mansion to go there. He also poached our reserves and robbed us of our willpower. He's nothing.
The key is that now he has become the core of the four houses in the south, which is much stronger than ours. Don't worry about him, he will definitely be able to handle it! "
"Your Majesty is right."
"Well~~ Well, let's send a message over there and talk about the evil ghost.
Don't worry, if something happens in the end, we will be blamed for not notifying you in advance. "
...
"Sister, it's true that she doesn't come home all day long, what does it look like?
I promised her to wait until the epidemic was over, but she didn't know she would come back yet. It was really against the rules! "
At Princess Lingbi's residence in Fucheng, Zhao Yuwan complained with some dissatisfaction.
Although it is a complaint, it is still a very polite complaint.
These days, she has a deeper grasp of the "Way of Heaven" and likes this feeling even more.
Not only does he like it, but he also enforces rules on everyone in the house.
Now everyone has become very disciplined and feels comfortable just watching.
The only fly in the ointment is that it is a pity that there is no male master in such a large family.
At this time, master and apprentice Feng Xingping and Ma Cunyong were seen returning from abroad.
Now the two of them have changed into servant clothes and behaved extremely well.
He is the only person who does not need her to specifically regulate his behavior, and he is also the most respected servant by her.
Seeing them coming back, Zhao Yuwan asked:
"How about it, sister is coming back?"
Ma Cunyong said respectfully:
"Returning to Miss, Her Royal Highness is still out patrolling to see if there are any sick people she missed. I'm afraid she won't be back in the next few days."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuwan frowned subconsciously:
"Sister is really unruly and doesn't look like a princess at all.
No, when she comes back, we must find a way to get her to follow the rules.
She must be pulled back from the evil ways and become a qualified princess. "
Feng Xingping said:
"Miss, there is something else I need to tell you, but I wonder if you are willing to hear it?"
"speak."
"Your father is critically ill."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuwan was stunned.
It was because of his brother's fault that he was ordered to be killed by his father.
If he hadn't been rescued by Zhengshen, he might have been a withered skeleton in the grave.
From then on, she no longer considered herself a member of the Zhao family.
Some time ago, I heard that my beastly brother had been turned into a cripple and would never get out of bed. I was a little happy. I didn't expect to hear this news again today.
I didn't want to pay attention to this matter at first, just let the Zhao family fend for themselves.
But then I realized that this was against the rules.
No matter how wrong parents are, children cannot ignore them, otherwise it is against human ethics.
After realizing this, Zhao Yuwan decided:
Return to Zhao's house to visit his critically ill father.
Since Zhao Yuwan did not go out most of the time, and Princess Lingbi deliberately concealed it, the Zhao family never knew that Zhao Yuwan was still alive and in Yanhua Mansion.
When his car arrived in front of the Zhao Mansion, the Zhao family concierge thought it was the princess who was coming, and was so frightened that he quickly went into the manor to report it.
His biological mother, the eldest lady, and several aunts came out to greet him in a panic.
Zhao Yuwan, who was sitting in the car, frowned slightly when she saw this. This behavior was a bit rude.
He immediately said, "Be calm and observe etiquette."
The group of people suddenly seemed to be restrained by something, they all maintained their manners and walked smoothly.
Zhao Yuwan did not dare to let her biological mother greet her, so she took the initiative to step down on the human stool and horse Cunyong, and saluted the eldest lady first.
When the eldest lady saw her daughter, who had been dead for several years in her memory, suddenly appear in front of her, she was so frightened that she almost screamed.
But because he was bound by the rules, he couldn't make such a rude move, so he could only say in a surprised and trembling tone:
"Yuwan? Why are you back? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Seeing her mother's trembling appearance of fear, Zhao Yuwan stepped forward and took her mother's hand to show that she was a living person.
Others did not expect that this young lady who should have died long ago could drive back in the princess's car. They were all completely surprised.
After briefly communicating with everyone, Zhao Yuwan said that she wanted to see her critically ill father.
A group of people couldn't refuse and took her to Yuan Zhao's hospital bed.
Looking up, Zhao Yuanwai's eyes were closed tightly at this time, he was in a weak state, and he was obviously terminally ill.
The eldest lady explained that Zhao Yuanwai had been walking around to save the lives of the Zhao family when the Zhao family suffered a disaster a few years ago, and he was already sick from overwork.
Something happened to Mr. Zhao some time ago, which directly broke Mr. Zhao's last defense.
If the Zhao family has no successors, wouldn't it mean that the family will be exterminated?
He was so angry that he couldn't even get sick, and to this day, he is already dying.
When Zhao Yuwan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Frankly speaking, although the father favored his brother, before that incident, he was absolutely not bad towards his daughter.
Seeing that he was about to die, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he went to the bedside and called softly.
Member Zhao heard the sound and reluctantly opened his eyes.
Just opened a crack and saw Zhao Yuwan appearing in front of her.
When everyone saw this, they thought that Zhao Yuanwai would express something, but unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanwai looked frightened, as if he had seen a ghost.
His life was already hanging by a thread, but after being frightened like this, he let out two "ho ho" sounds in his throat, his eyes widened, and he died.
"Master, master!"
A group of female relatives burst into tears when they saw member Zhao finally passing away.
Zhao Yuwan was also in a daze. She didn't expect her father to be like this...
Seeing that everyone was crying, she was also aroused and started crying together.
Well, when a parent is bereaved, it is right for children to cry.
In fact, among everyone, only the eldest lady cried sincerely. After all, they had been married for many years.
The rest of the ladies were, to put it bluntly, concubines, and few cried because of so-called feelings.
Just thinking about the death of Zhao Yuanwai, the backbone of the Zhao family will fall, and the Zhao family, with no successors, will inevitably collapse completely.
Then their fate in the rest of their lives must be extremely miserable.
When they thought of this, everyone burst into tears.
There were originally a few younger men in the Zhao family.
However, in the turmoil of the past few years, they died successively due to various reasons.
The only remaining eldest son, Mr. Zhao, has also been completely abolished. Without a man in charge, the Zhao family will undoubtedly become the prey of other big families.
The fate of the Zhao family's female relatives will never be good.
After everyone burst into tears, arrangements were made for Yuan Zhao's funeral.
Originally, this had nothing to do with Zhao Yuwan, the "dead man" who was expelled from the Zhao family, but he couldn't resist his mother's pleading.
In addition, Zhao Yuwan still had feelings for the Zhao family, and did not want the Zhao family to collapse like this, so she took over the affairs of the Zhao family.
Since ancient times, men have dominated the outside world and women have dominated the inside.
It is very reasonable for him to take over the internal affairs of the Zhao family.
Soon, Zhao Yuwan discovered that in the process of dealing with her father's funeral, as long as everything was done according to the rules, her grasp of the "Way of Heaven" would improve much faster than waiting for it to improve naturally. .
And the same is true when doing other things that comply with the rules.
She enjoyed this feeling.
Rules are such a good thing, why are there always people unwilling to abide by them?
In short, under Zhao Yuwan's management, the Zhao family did not collapse as imagined.
The people who originally coveted the Zhao family had to give up their thoughts.
After handling the Zhao family's affairs, Zhao Yuwan was faced with a dilemma.
That is whether to continue to stay in the Zhao family or return to the original mansion to live with Princess Lingbi.
One side is my original home, and the other side is the home I share with my sister...
