At the same time, in a courtyard of the marriage agency.
I saw cold light flashing and sword shadows filling the sky.
A woman was waving a sword inside, her moves were fierce and decisive.
The woman wore a white gauze skirt embroidered with plum blossoms, paired with a silver dress, as if the cold plum blossoms in the snow had come to life, adding a cool flavor, which could be said to be the shadow of plum blossoms moving on the temples.
"General, the pursuers have sealed off the entire Jinzhou City."
A beautiful maid bowed to the woman in front of her.
The back holding the sword stopped, and one could see a head of black hair flowing down smoothly, a beautiful side face, skin as white as snow, and clean collarbones that looked as smooth as suet.
But those sharp phoenix eyes are intimidating.
The woman's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly and her red lips parted slightly: "I don't know who it is, but he is just a sixth-grade general who dares to cause trouble for me."
The beautiful maid deeply believed this and was also aggrieved.
"Isn't that true? Although the general has been disbanded and returned to his field, on the surface, he is still a first-class princess personally sealed by His Majesty. How dare these stinky fish and rotten shrimps dare to be so presumptuous? If there weren't someone behind, they wouldn't even dare to do it if they didn't have the guts to do so."
"Could it be His Highness King Qin? But he is the brother of His Highness the Princess."
The woman held the sword silently, her eyelashes trembling slightly. After listening to the maid's words, she seemed to remember something. Memories came to her heart, her eyes dimmed, she put away her sharp edge, and sighed:
"That's all, my father has ascended the throne, the Great Xia has just been established, and the prosperous age has just begun. It is a busy time, so I won't cause trouble for him. I will try my best to find out as much as possible and don't alert the snake."
"Also, I have retired, don't call me general again."
The woman turned her head and said calmly:
"Also, have you found a suitable partner?"
The beautiful maid nodded lightly: "I found it. According to Her Highness the Princess's request, I found a decent gentleman. He should be here in the afternoon."
The woman put down her sword, drank the tea on the table in one gulp, and said to herself: "Living in seclusion and starting a family, finding a good man to marry, can be considered as an explanation to my brother and father."
...
On the other side, Zhao Huai followed the matchmaker to an elegant room and just sat down slowly.
The matchmaker responded with a smile: "Master, please wait a moment. Where is the girl you want to see? I have already notified her. Their elders also agreed to meet after hearing the master's conditions. However, it will take a while. At present, there are many people in the city. Everywhere is blocked, so it still takes a lot of effort to get here.”
Although the city has been put under control, the family is powerful and it is inevitable that they can use some special channels.
Zhao Huai nodded slightly and expressed understanding.
After the matchmaker finished explaining, she went out, and Zhao Huai's ears were clear.
Meeting in person is always useful, at least you won't hear the matchmaker's marketing chatter.
But he had to think about how to reject this girl in advance. After all, he was just fine cultivating alone, so how could he have time to take care of another person?
Since he had nothing to do anyway, Zhao Huai took out the golden copper coins in his arms and looked at them carefully.
The origin of this copper coin is quite mysterious.
On the first day of his escape, he was exhausted and slept overnight in a dilapidated Taoist temple in the suburbs.
When I woke up the next day, I found a shining golden copper coin in my arms.
The furnishings in the temple were still in Zhao Huai's mind so far.
In the past three years, he also visited his old place again, wanting to know what the secret of the copper coins was, but the old Taoist temple could no longer be found.
After thinking about it, Zhao Huai tossed the copper coins in his hand to see if things were going as smoothly as he imagined.
[Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, let’s take a look at it]
[Hexagram 1: My fair lady, a gentleman is fond of disloyalty. There is a marriage in front of you. Do you agree to marry her? The instruction you get is "disaster". 】
[Hexagram 2: There is no woman in your heart, draw your sword to the God of Nature, be prepared to refuse, the instruction you get is "blessing". 】
"It seems I made the right choice."
Zhao Huai showed a proud smile when he saw the result in front of him.
Almost at the same time, a ball of blue light escaped into his mind.
"Since we have [Good Luck Header], the chance of revealing our destiny is really high."
Zhao Huai couldn't help but sigh.
Before, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for a destiny, so he was still very concerned about the new destiny and started checking it immediately.
[Tao Xin is quite stable (high-level Xuanpin)]: The state of mind remains clear and clear, unable to breed inner demons, and the speed of cultivation of soul and spiritual power is slightly increased.
[Do you want to absorb fate? 】
"Absorb it for me."
As soon as Zhao Huai finished speaking, a ray of coolness suddenly entered his brain, making his mind, consciousness, and Mingtai very clear.
I have become more sensitive to the surrounding plants and trees, as well as all kinds of unknown smells.
This is because his soul has been blessed by [Tao Xin Ding].
"This is to maintain the Taoist heart, enhance the destiny of the soul, and also get rid of the interference of inner demons. It's not bad, it just suits my current situation."
Zhao Huai was very satisfied with this.
The state of Qi training is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, strengthen the soul, cleanse the marrow and improve the physical constitution.
Although with his current cultivation level, he is still one step away from the foundation-building realm and far from the time to encounter the inner demon, but with this fate, he is still prepared for any danger.
Coupled with the [Tao Xin is quite determined], he now has five practical fortunes.
Zhao Huai divided himself into three categories according to the types of fate.
The first category is the martial arts type, such as [body as light as a swallow] [swordsmanship expertise] [dao heart is quite calm], which are all included in the category of cultivation.
The second type is the luck type. This [lucky head] is considered a newly developed type.
The third type is the backup type, which is also the type that Zhao Huai has the most trouble with. This type of fortune generally looks useless, but you don't know when it will take effect.
Just like [Searching for Dragons and Reclaiming Wasteland], apart from finding a way, I really don’t know what its use is.
But it would be a pity to break it down.
The fate in Zhao Huai's mind can be decomposed, and the decomposition is naturally used to improve other fates. For example, the yellow-grade fate of [Swordsmanship Specialization] is improved from [Good Use of Swordsmanship]. of.
"Dong dong."
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Enter."
Zhao Huai said loudly.
A young man in short brown clothes pushed open the door and walked in. He folded his hands and reported: "Sir, my mother-in-law asked me to inform you that the person you want to wait for has arrived."
Zhao Huai nodded and asked one more question: "What about her?"
There was a look of helplessness on the young boy's face, and he explained: "People from the government came and wanted to search the house, but my mother-in-law stopped them and was reasoning."
"I see."
Zhao Huai suddenly understood what the matchmaker was doing. If the imperial envoy was allowed to come in, wouldn't the marriage matchmaker's business be ruined?
A marriage matchmaking agency like this is also an institution set up by the government. It doesn't matter if there is internal strife. Ordinary people would not dare to stop it.
Soon, Zhao Huai followed the young man through a courtyard full of peach blossoms and entered a corridor with rooms with closed doors on both sides.
There are three big characters written on the plaque in the corridor - "Peach Blossom Spring".
"Sir, this is it."
The young boy stretched out his hand to indicate.
"Go straight, turn the corner and find the third room. Don't make a mistake, sir."
"knew."
The young boy finished explaining and then left.
Zhao Huai walked to the end of the corridor, and two more rows of rooms appeared in front of him. His eyes turned to the third wooden door.
Zhao Huai opened the door on the right, stepped into the compartment, and opened the bead curtain in front of him with his hand. What came into view was a screen with a picture of winter plum blossoms and snowy scenery printed on it.
In front of the screen, there is a pair of brocade soft chairs, paired with a square wooden red table. There is a set of glazed tea cups on the table, which is shining.
There was a faint but not pungent white smoke in the room. Zhao Huai lowered his head and saw that it was the fragrance of the incense burner.
The shadows of plum blossoms fluttering against the wall indicate that a beautiful lady has arrived.
