"Who?" Zhao Ting shouted.
The man on the tree looked back and saw that it was Black Stone. Zhao Ting saluted quickly when he saw it.
With a drunken face, Heishi glanced at him up and down, burped slightly, turned around, and continued to drink from the wine jar.
What was in his stomach was not wine, but thoughts.
It is not clear whether Zhao Ting stays or leaves.
Logically speaking, if the other party ignored him, he should have known better and backed away. However, after turning around and taking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, took a few more steps, and then looked back.
He finally stopped, and the person who forced him behind the scenes was Black Stone. However, he didn't have many opportunities to be alone with Black Stone, and now he seemed to have just hit an opportunity.
However, what the person who forced him behind the scenes asked him to do made him feel like he was facing an abyss, timid and fearful.
But he fell in step by step and did too many things that he couldn't look back on. His leverage and weakness were all in the hands of the person who was forcing him behind him. Since the other party dared to force him, he had no choice.
After much hesitation, Zhao Ting turned around, a little timidly, and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, approached the pine tree, and tried to call out, "Elder."
Heishi turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhao Ting tried to ask: "Why is the elder drinking alone here?"
Heishi said coldly: "Isn't it possible? Do you even want to take care of me?"
Zhao Ting said hurriedly: "I don't dare." However, he heard something strange in the other party's words. What does 'even you have to take care of me' mean? In the entire Heavenly Demon Holy Land, this person can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Who else but the Holy Lord can control him
Why can I hear some resentment in these words
Coupled with what the people behind the scenes forced him to do, Zhao Ting vaguely felt that there seemed to be an opportunity before him. Being alone with Elder Heishi while Heishi was slightly drunk was a once-in-a-lifetime situation!
Just as his eyes flickered and he was thinking about how to speak, Heishi waved his hand, threw the wine jar over, and drank, "Drink!"
Zhao Ting, who caught the wine jar by surprise, was stunned. The weight in his hand seemed to be half a jar of wine.
Black Stone waved his hand and grabbed it, and another jar flew out of the cave on the stone platform under the tree. It fell into his hand and patted off the sealing mud, and he drank again with his head held high.
Zhao Ting, who was holding the wine jar, still hesitated.
Heishi, who was already trying his best to help create opportunities, cursed in his heart, "You are a cowardless person, do you think I don't know what you want to do?"
This party has mastered the confidential communication at Maolu Villa and knows everything from beginning to end better than Zhao Ting.
After procrastinating for a while, Zhao Ting finally decided to give it a try. Anyway, the attitude of the people behind the scenes was to let him test it first. It was obviously unrealistic to be straightforward.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhao Ting floated down on an adjacent tree branch, braved his courage and slowly sat down, facing the black stone, and took a sip from the wine jar.
The two of you took a bite, and I took a bite. After spending a long time in silence, Zhao Ting finally couldn't help but speak again, "The elder seems to have something on his mind, and I am willing to share your worries."
"Share the worries? Are you sharing the worries for me?" Heishi laughed, and then sighed drunkenly, "I think at the beginning, if others didn't say anything, they would just say that people like you, Piaomiao Pavilion, are running rampant in the world, and who doesn't obey them outside the holy realm? Now, But it ended up like this, are you worried? Do you have a solution? "
Zhao Ting said hurriedly: "For such a big matter, my subordinates are naturally helpless. However, with the wise saint and the elders here, I believe that everything will not be a problem."
Black Stone snorted, "Flatterer! What use can I be here? The theft of the Infinite Fruit means that there are a group of Nascent Soul Stage monks hidden in the world. I have to be careful even when I go out, otherwise my life will be at risk!"
Zhao Ting felt that this person was really drunk. He would not say such words to boost others' ambition and destroy his own prestige. His eyes flashed, and he tried to say: "If the elder obtains the immeasurable fruit and breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, those rats will not be afraid. Elder, is it possible that the immeasurable fruit will no longer be found in this world?"
Heishi sneered, "The person who stole the fruit would have enjoyed it long ago. Can't you find it and give it to me?"
Zhao Ting: "What if the immeasurable fruits in the hands of those rats are not used up? With the strength of the Holy Lord, once they grab it, they will definitely reward it to the elders."
Black Stone said calmly: "Can the Infinite Fruit be rewarded at will?"
Zhao Ting boldly spoke further, "What if the elder finds it by himself? Does the elder dare to use it?" The implication is that he is not afraid of making the Holy Lord dissatisfied
Heishi glanced at him and said meaningfully: "If it were you, would you dare to use it?" He stopped here and drank.
There is no need to say some things clearly, Zhao Ting understands and continues to drink.
Hei Shi waited for him to say more, but before he could, Zhao Ting drank half the jar of wine and excused himself while still on duty.
The preliminary testing has reached this point, and the situation can be reported back to the behind-the-scenes decision-maker.
Is this the end? Hei Shi turned around and glanced at the back of Zhao Ting who was leaving. He was quite speechless, but he couldn't force the other party to say anything. It would be inappropriate to be too proactive.
But he could feel the other person and the caution behind the other person's back.
And Zhao Ting's probing words indeed made him have indescribable thoughts in his heart. Is there really still immeasurable fruit in the hands of Maolu Villa
He has the intention to plot to win, but Wu Chang is not a vegetarian. He is sure that Wu Chang will not entrust all the following matters to him alone. There must be someone behind the scenes, and this Zhao Ting must be on the other side of Wu Chang. Under surveillance, even he, Black Stone, is no exception.
After thinking over and over again, I couldn't find a suitable solution, so I could only sigh softly in my heart. I drank the remaining wine in the wine jar with real melancholy before leaving, and reported the incident to Wu Chang.
Wu Chang: "Very good, the other party should take action after testing."
However, things didn't seem to go as he expected...
The Jin State's army was mobilized and supplies were gathered and transported. The Jin State's ambition for the Eastern Expedition was clearly revealed.
South Korea and the Yan State are also gathering people and materials from the two countries to go west, and the trend of joining forces to resist the Jin State is also obvious.
For a time, the atmosphere of war surged across the world, and people were panicked.
Behind the scenes before the war between the Three Kingdoms, there were various confrontations between the countries, and each other's spies had already started fighting, fighting to the death on the invisible battlefield.
At the same time, there were also diplomatic confrontations between various countries before the war.
The Jin State is wooing the Song State. Once a war breaks out, it hopes that the Song State will stab Yan and Han in the back, and naturally promises huge profits.
Yan and Han are sternly warning the Song State that once the two countries are defeated, the Song State will ask itself, will the Jin Congress break its promise, and will the Jin Congress annex the Song State? The two countries sternly warned that as long as the Song Dynasty dared to cause chaos, the two countries would fight to the death and defeat the Song Dynasty first.
This cannot threaten the Song Dynasty. If it really reaches the point where it is difficult to protect itself, can you still have that power
But Song was not stupid and knew that Jin's promise was unreliable. The purpose of Jin's Eastern Expedition was to dominate the world. Once it defeated Yan and South Korea, it would definitely not let Song go.
The Song State also had its own ideas and warned the Jin State not to cross Xiping Pass, otherwise the Song State would send troops to assist the Yan State and South Korea to jointly fight against the Jin State.
The attitude can be described as tough and domineering, which reassured Yan and South Korea.
From the perspective of the Song State, the best outcome is that the Yan State and South Korea can contain the Jin State's military front. The three parties are exhausted and weak, which is good for the Song State. Maybe the Song State will have the opportunity to expand westward.
The State of Yan and South Korea annexed the territory of the State of Qin. This matter has always troubled the Song State. If there is an opportunity, they would not mind equalizing the interests of the three parties.
If Yan and South Korea really couldn't stand it any longer and were forced to do so, Song would have no choice but to send troops to help, otherwise Song would inevitably follow in the footsteps of the two countries...
In the Song Dynasty's palace, Aqueer returned to the place where she had lived for many years. She was very familiar with the layout of the palace.
But things have changed, and the owner of this place has changed, a big man with a beard.
"Beauty! She is indeed a beauty who will captivate the whole country. I feel pity for her!"
He lifted up the gauze on A Qiao'er's face with his own hands. After admiring it, Wu Gongling burst out laughing, feeling very proud.
He was not reserved, and suddenly picked up A Qiao'er by his waist. Ignoring the strange looks in the palace maid's and eunuch's eyes, he directly carried the beauty away to admire her.
Under the current situation, it would be strange if the Song Kingdom did not take advantage of the opportunity to seek benefits. This A Qiao'er is the benefit that Wu Gongling has been thinking about for a long time.
Even at this time, he was still thinking about women, which made the courtiers of the Song Dynasty quite dissatisfied.
But Wu Gongling spoke righteously and said that he wanted to avenge the Song Dynasty!
It was said that A Qiao'er was the imperial concubine of the Song Dynasty, but she was taken away by force. How could this hatred go away
The courtiers were not fools, but they were speechless in the face of this high-sounding reason. To a certain extent, Wu Gongling's words made sense. It was really embarrassing for the imperial concubine of the Song Dynasty to be forcibly taken away by another country. It was not a bad idea to come back. It does have the effect of avenging shame.
But the key point is that Wu Gongling's intention is not to get him back and resettle him properly, nor is it to avenge his shame. He clearly wants to make himself happy.
Forget it, the courtiers of the Song Dynasty were also used to this shamelessness.
On the Korean side, faced with the indignation of the envoys of the Song Dynasty, they just elevated a woman to the level of national hatred and family feud. She was so hated that she had to take her back. In this situation, what was the loss? It's not worth it for foreign women to cause trouble.
Nie Zhenting didn't want to hand him over, but in the face of pressure from the courtiers, he finally let him go.
Unlike Mu Zhuozhen and Shang Jianxiong, he didn't think much about A Qiao'er, and it was really bothering him since A Qiao'er entered the palace.
Starting from the Grand Sima Jinjue, the whole court had various purposes, some were for official duties, and some were due to conflicts of interests extending from the harem. In short, people kept saying that this girl was ominous and forced him to deal with her.
When Shang Jianxiong was also overthrown from imperial power by a coup, and followed in the footsteps of Mu Zhuozhen, ominous remarks became even more rampant.
Now that the Song Dynasty wanted someone at this time, Nie Zhenting couldn't keep it anymore. Although he was unwilling to accept it and felt that he had lost face, he could only let it go.
In this turbulent situation in the world, who would take a weak woman who is regarded as a plaything in the eyes of most people seriously, and will abandon her without hesitation once the need for profit comes into play.
