All the powerful people who were invited to participate in the war left one after another.
Although Zhao Changhe is not a social phobic, he can't stand such a large number of people coming to his house every time, especially since he is always in a state of injury and is really exhausted.
But looking back after the dust has settled, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, there are so many people... If one person is missing, it might not be just me who would be injured this time. If a few more are missing, the battle will collapse.
Afterwards, we naturally realized that Cui Yang’s value was not just in the battle field. The most important thing was to suppress the Wang family army in the north and prevent it from acting recklessly.
For the monk-Taoist pair Yuancheng and Guichen, although they did not play a big role in the battle, the restraint and weakening effect of their chanting was no less than that of a head-on combat, and the final talisman to suppress evil was even more useful.
To be honest, before this, Zhao Changhe had never thought that in such a low-level martial arts world, talismans could actually have such an effect... So when Gui Chen came to say goodbye, he shamelessly asked for a few.
"I don't know how to attract thunder and fire." Seeing Zhao Changhe's curious look, Gui Chen couldn't help but laugh: "This kind of evil-suppressing effect is actually similar to the nature of the restraint of the martial arts, it's not that mysterious..."
"Ah, is it just the restraining nature of the technique?"
"Of course, since it is a talisman, it has its own special blessing... But we are also using it as an auxiliary means. These are not the right way to practice. Even in ancient times, people did not use these to practice the right way. What matters is to cultivate oneself."
Zhao Changhe seemed to be thinking, maybe this is indeed not a world of cultivating immortals. From ancient times to the present, martial arts is the main thing, and everything else is just auxiliary.
Sisi also said that the Guling tribe might be obsessed with ancestral witchcraft because they were lacking in ancient martial arts. In her opinion, this was wrong and that learning the martial arts of the Central Plains was the right way.
It’s just that matters of strength are the same in different ways. For example, once you come into contact with the way of heaven and earth, you must use the five elements. It’s just that the mode of using the five elements is different, at least it’s not making fireballs.
Gui Chen said: "I don't have many talismans with me. If Young Master Zhao likes them, I will give them to you. Maybe they can be used someday. I'll take my leave. I have to move when I go back..."
Taiyi Sect and the Wang Family were very close, and this time the Wang Family even mobilized their army, so they really couldn't stay there any longer. It was impossible to allow a force that they didn't deal with to exist in their territory, so they had to either surrender or relocate, there was no third option, and if they continued to procrastinate, they might be sacrificed at any time.
Zhao Changhe's heart was slightly moved, and he whispered: "I wonder if the Master is willing to... pretend to surrender? As a Taoist priest on the Earth Ranking, he will be treated as a distinguished guest and his status will be very high. But it may be very dangerous. He might be tested and controlled by the Yin Qi of the Sea Clan..."
Gui Chen pondered for a moment and shook his head: "In our martial arts sect, under normal circumstances, we will obey whoever occupies the territory. I am not deliberately going to surrender, so the Wang family will not have any doubts about this. Especially if I don't get involved in military affairs and still live my own life in the mountains, there will be no problem..."
Zhao Changhe asked, "Master, do you really want to pretend to surrender?"
Gui Chen smiled slightly: "I am not pretending... If they don't move, then I will really listen to them if they occupy the territory. Of course, if the imperial court invades, I will naturally listen to the imperial court."
The two smiled at each other and understood each other.
Gui Chen bowed and said goodbye. "As for the Wang family alone, there is no problem. What I am worried about is the things behind it. That's all. I'm leaving now."
Watching Gui Chen leave, Zhao Changhe thought to himself that if the Wang family really wanted to fight for the world, it wouldn't be a big problem, as the world's acceptance of the family was very high and they had a sufficient mass base.
But there is something else behind it, and everyone's opinion immediately changes.
For the Lianshan Sword, the Wang family exposed this Yin Qi, which was a real failure. This time, not only did the Hongnong Yang break up, but the martial arts sects that were watching in the country also split... But the evidence is gone, and there is no way to spread it around the world. Gui Chen is willing to believe Zhao Changhe's empty words, but others may not. The situation faced by the Wang family is still better than that of the Maitreya Sect.
… …
As Gui Chen left, the ward, which was once crowded with people, soon became deserted again.
In fact, apart from deliberately asking Tang Wanzhuang to feed him medicine, how could Zhao Changhe be so injured that he couldn't get out of bed? He could have gone to the courtyard with the unsleeping woman that day, and he was much better now.
After the person left, Zhao Changhe could no longer stay and went out for a walk as he waited and waited for Tang Wanzhuang but she didn't show up.
I agreed to the wedding date with Yangyang. I wonder if my evening makeup will be more like Daiyu. I haven’t seen anyone all day, which makes me a little uneasy...
When I walked into Tang Wanzhuang's yard, she was not there. Instead, she was sitting in the yard with her chin in her hand, reading a book, looking leisurely.
Seeing Zhao Changhe peeking outside the door, Baoqin was very happy: "He actually knows how to look for a young lady, not bad, not bad."
What does this mean... Zhao Changhe pondered in his heart and asked carefully: "Hey, isn't your lady angry?"
"No, the young lady is very happy."
"Ah?" What Zhao Changhe was worried about was that after Tang Wanzhuang, who had been acting more and more like Daiyu recently, knew that he had agreed to marry Cui Yuanyang, would she never return to Daiyu's path and end up saying "I'm very happy"
I thought it was good enough that I didn’t have a hemorrhage… “Um, where’s the evening makeup person?”
"I'm discussing matters with the young master." Baoqin said in a very mature manner, "Jiangnan has just been settled, and there are many things going on. Do you think everyone is like you, an idle person with nothing to do?"
Zhao Changhe swallowed his anger and continued to ask, "Good Baoqin, tell me quietly, what does Miss you think?"
Baoqin looked at him with disdain: "Who is good with you?"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
"I've seen other people's stories where they bribed the maids or something, what about you?" Baoqin put her hands on her hips: "Rely on your scarred face?"
Zhao Changhe silently took out a piece of candy. It was the candy Tang Wanzhuang found for him because he thought the medicine was too bitter. In fact, he didn't need to eat it...
Baoqin flew over and snatched it away, his eyes curved into crescents: "Ask."
This silly girl...
Zhao Changhe smiled apologetically: "Shouldn't she be angry? Why is she so happy..."
"You didn't set a specific date directly, which means you are still a little cautious..."
"Ah? That's it?"
"The other party is Cui Wenjing, who is very powerful, and the etiquette of the aristocratic family is extremely orthodox." Baoqin peeled the candy wrapper and looked at Zhao Changhe with a kind look in her eyes: "Would such a person allow himself to be fooled and not even set a specific date? The young lady said that you must be very determined. The atmosphere between the two of you may have been very tense, so that you could reach such a compromise... This is not easy."
Zhao Changhe: “emmmm…”
Baoqin stuffed the candy into her mouth and smacked her lips: "The incident with Cui Yuanyang was caused by the young lady's own cleverness. She can't blame you. What can we do..."
That's true... I guess what Wanzhuang wants to do most is to slap herself twice.
"In fact, the lady heard Cui Wenjing's words before he left, 'Wandering around the world? That's just childish talk.' She didn't say anything. But I think, her eyes were sparkling... If you wandered around the world, she might be more willing to accompany you. Then she wouldn't want to be the Crown Princess, and she wouldn't break her oath... She's already grown up, but she's acting like a child..."
"Hold! Qin!" Tang Wanzhuang's gnashing voice came from outside the courtyard: "Have you done today's homework? How much of the text you were asked to recite did you memorize? Recite it now and let me hear it!"
Baoqin's face turned green: "No, I can't finish it so quickly, it's not even night yet..."
"It's been so long and you still haven't memorized it? Go copy it ten times! If you miss a word, you'll get a spanking!"
"Miss, you are seeking revenge for your personal gain!"
"Does the candy in your mouth taste good? You are actually imitating others to take bribes. If I can't kill you, I..."
Tang Wanzhuang came over with her sleeves rolled up, looking aggressive, and ran away holding the zither and her butt.
Tang Wanzhuang pretended not to see Zhao Changhe standing aside, and glared at Baoqin as she tried to chase him. As expected, she was grabbed around the waist.
Tang Wanzhuang struggled: "Don't stop me~ I must beat her to death today!"
Zhao Changhe leaned over and whispered: "Can they really be short of a piece of candy? Is that really a bribe? That was Xiao Hongniang trying to help the young lady convey the message..."
"Is that my information? She just guessed. I didn't say a word!" Tang Wanzhuang said angrily, "Don't believe her nonsense. I'm very angry! No, you and I have nothing to do with each other. I'm your master. Why should I be angry or happy about your marriage? What does it have to do with me... mmm..."
The words were stuck in his throat, and the brave Zhao Changhe kissed the mouth which was harder than a braised duck.
Baoqin poked her head out of the house.
She was obviously very happy, but she wanted to hide it from the clever Baoqin...
The one who was really angry was Baoqin, because the candy that was bribed was what the lady took from Baoqin yesterday... You said that this is called bribery!
