Logically speaking, how could a Xuanyue rank saint like Long Lao be willing to give up his decades of hard training
Ordinary people will also be reluctant. , It can even be said that 10 out of 10 will not contribute so much skill.
But wise men are different. They know how to choose.
Wise people, when the benefits will be lost sooner or later, or when it is not cost-effective to keep them, they will consider whether to seek greater benefits by giving up the current benefits.
Fools will only cling to immediate interests. When you have to lose your current benefits, you will find that your future benefits have already passed you by, and there are no more benefits to be gained.
Elder Long has fully considered that he is not young. Even if there are still more than ten or twenty years of old age, if the profound energy cannot go further, it will inevitably decline more and more. However, his own family has no next pillars, and lacks successors who can support a family.
Apart from Zhou Zhiruo, no one else could inherit the profound energy. If he dies within ten or twenty years, will his cultivation be wasted
Think about it, Mr. Long’s decision to instill mysterious energy in Zhou Zhiruo is to firstly reserve young geniuses for the country and earn a reputation; entanglement.
It is a good thing to kill four birds with one stone, it is definitely a smart move for Mr. Long to make this decision.
Does Mr. Long know that Emperor Xuanwu is putting on a show? I know, but it doesn't affect the effect of his decision in the slightest. And he is more sure that his income will never be lower than his expectations.
Sure enough, after Emperor Xuanwu's remonstrance was repeatedly rejected by Emperor Long, he reluctantly agreed.
Would Emperor Xuanwu be happy to accept it
When Elder Long came to him in a hurry, Emperor Xuanwu could confirm the test result. Both sides are smart people, since Mr. Long can propose to instill profound energy, it shows that Zhou Zhiruo is a profound martial arts genius.
Although this is different from Emperor Xuanwu's previous understanding of Zhou Zhiruo. But this time, many masters were used as a reference to suppress the rebellion, Emperor Xuanwu believed that there would be no mistakes. Of course, he can question it now, and even go to verify it himself, but it is no longer necessary.
A Xuanyue-level saint is willing to transfer his profound energy to a sixteen-year-old girl. Doesn't this mean that this little girl is a genius
So neither side needs to talk about the test results just now. Come straight to the dry goods.
"Since Aiqing is so persistent, then I will reluctantly accept it." Xuanwu Emperor sighed, shaking his head with infinite regret: "If Aiqing has other ideas in the future, don't take it out of face..."
Emperor Xuanwu spoke to stop Empress Xuanwu's words: "The emperor forgives the sin. I only have one heart for the country, and other things are not considered."
"Forget it, then..." Emperor Xuanwu cleared his throat, and waved his sleeves to Director Peng.
Director Peng quickly stepped forward and bowed to obey his orders.
Emperor Xuanwu said loudly: "Summon, seal Longlao as Hongzhonghou. The enfeoffment is three hundred miles away from home, and the tax in the fiefdom will be exempted for a hundred years."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Elder Long knelt down to thank him.
The decree was passed on.
Elder Long bid farewell to Emperor Xuanwu: "I take advantage of the fact that the elders are in the meeting hall. I will try to indoctrinate you a little bit. When the results come out, I will report to the emperor immediately."
"Elder Long, don't worry about it." Emperor Xuanwu told him to be careful, and ordered the little eunuch to go to the inner treasury to fetch many pills for reward to Elder Long.
Afterwards, Emperor Xuanwu asked Zhou Zhiruo about the details of the test.
Mr. Long told the truth.
Emperor Xuanwu was quite surprised. In my heart, I am also amazed by the two female geniuses, one from the south and the other from the north. One has a photographic memory and can learn other people's moves, and the other has sharp eyes that can see through the flaws of moves.
Could this be the general opposition of Yin and Yang in the legend
In other words, it was because Wu Kingdom's national fortune was so prosperous that it was about to surpass Qi Kingdom, which attracted God to give a similar female genius to restrain Xiao Ruoyao
"Wait a minute, just ask Zhou Zhiruo to come over." Emperor Xuanwu reminded.
"Follow the order." Long Lao understood. This is the precept that Emperor Xuanwu wanted to reuse Zhou Zhiruo.
Soon, Wu Zhe was called. Elder Long was waiting outside.
Emperor Xuanwu first asked for warmth. After gossiping for a long time, I finally asked Wu Zhe what he thought of Xiao Ruoyao.
"Genius, peerless genius!" Wu Zhe did not hesitate to praise himself.
I was just praising myself, so what's the embarrassment
Emperor Xuanwu smiled and said, "If you were asked to fight with her, would you dare?"
"Dare, why don't you dare?" Wu Zhe scratched his head: "It's just that I can't beat it. Your Majesty, don't mind."
Emperor Xuanwu laughed loudly: "Haha, thief girl, you blocked the conversation first, lest I send you to fight her desperately."
Wu Zhe giggled on the surface. But he said in his heart, Elder Long and Emperor Xuanwu must have discussed something to get me into the pit. Just don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
Of course it is luck. Wu Zhe never imagined that Mr. Long could make such a big sacrifice.
At least Wu Zhe didn't know about Elder Long's situation, nor did he consider his family issues. Naturally, it was difficult to guess Long Lao's decision to contribute his own profound energy.
"Zhou Zhiruo, Elder Long intends to transfer his profound energy to you." Emperor Xuanwu suddenly said.
"Huh?" Wu Zhe was really shocked.
Emperor Xuanwu didn't say anything anymore, just looked at Wu Zhe with a smile.
"... OK!" Wu Zhe nodded after pondering for a moment, "I want it."
Emperor Xuanwu couldn't laugh or cry. Don't let Elder Long know, this girl isn't even modest and polite.
Wu Zhe said again: "Mr. Long couldn't take Xiao Ruoyao down, and he felt withdrawn? No wonder I tested my reaction just now. It turned out to be a test of my martial arts qualifications. It seems that the result is very satisfactory to him."
Emperor Xuanwu asked: "Are you sure you can beat Xiao Ruoyao?"
"Not sure!" Wu Zhe shook his head very simply.
The corner of Emperor Xuanwu's mouth twitched. Even with his spirit, he couldn't bear Wu Zhe's unconstrained answer.
Don't play cards according to common sense!
If you have a thick skin, you can say that you are somewhat sure. If you are thin-skinned, you can also say that you are doing your best.
You said directly that you are not sure, what realm does it belong to
In fact, Wu Zhe belongs to the realm of acting obediently after getting benefits.
She explained bluntly: "Although I have read many of Xiao Ruoyao's documents and information from the spy hall, I always have a feeling of being unclear and uncertain about her. Before I really do it with her, I will definitely not What are you sure about?"
When I said this, it really sounded like that.
"As expected of a female think tank, it makes sense." Xuanwu Emperor had no choice but to nod.
Wu Zhe said sternly: "You have the grace of the emperor, and there is the self-sacrifice of Long Lao. As a minister, I must do my best to defeat Xiao Ruoyao of Qi! If you don't complete the mission, you are willing to be struck by lightning!"
Anyway, we have already been hacked once, this swearing is tantamount to talking in vain. Wu Zhe secretly smiled. (To be continued..)
