In the eyes of other people in the Cui family, the head of the family was having a good secret conversation with the King of Zhao, but he inexplicably said that he was not feeling well and needed someone to prepare lunch for him. This meant that the talks had broken down, otherwise there would be no such etiquette for entertaining guests.
Logically speaking, the King of Zhao should have been furious and left after being so rude, but he actually stayed there happily and let others greet him on his behalf.
Because he wants to marry Yangyang...
Some people think that this guy really didn't care about his dignity or his life for the sake of beauty...
Having said that, Yangyang is really beautiful now... Before, she was only very cute and delicate, but in fact, she was short and had no breasts or buttocks, and only certain people liked her. Now she has grown taller, and has a truly graceful and exquisite figure. Her eyebrows and eyes have also matured. Her original cuteness is still not completely faded, and she has a heroic spirit. Her youthful vigor is really eye-catching.
I heard that the King of Zhao and the First Lord of Tang have an ambiguous relationship, which means that he likes mature and elegant girls. But if you like this kind of girl, how could you still like the immature Yangyang? Are you really not picky? Just a good-looking girl is fine? Oh, we are the same, so it's okay.
If it weren't for the engagement with this guy, Yangyang's matchmaker would have broken down the Cui family's door, but now no one dares.
In the eyes of most people, Yangyang is actually a very high-quality resource... When they talked about marrying you, Zhao Changhe, it was because you have great potential and are very likely to be the crown prince. This investment is not a loss, but what about now? If everyone wants to turn against each other, it would be a pity to continue to marry her as the head of the family wants. Isn't it a waste! Originally, this could be a marriage with another high-quality force!
But it doesn't matter, as long as he dies, everything will return to the way it should be.
Cui Wenwei is Cui Wenjing's biological brother... He is closer to Cui Wenjue than Cui Wenjing was at the beginning, and has always been Cui Wenjing's right-hand man. Cui Wenjing was seriously injured and was sent back to Qinghe to recuperate, and his children were fighting in Puyang, but the Cui family did not have any turmoil at all. It was Cui Wenwei who was in charge of the work, and he was most concerned about his brother's health and was most enthusiastic about maintaining his authority. He had no disloyalty or ambition to rise to the top.
This is one of the advantages of aristocratic families over ordinary sects. When one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer. The strength of the Cui family is the source of power for all members of the Cui family, and Cui Wenjing's prestige is also the guarantee for Cui Wenwei. At this time of change, protecting a family head who is on the Heavenly Ranking is more meaningful than any internal struggle. If it were an ordinary sect, people might have scattered at that time, but in the Cui family, they are more united.
But Cui Wenjing's performance afterwards still made the Cui family a little disappointed.
The Cui family is not without connections with the capital... From the rumors leaked by Lu Jianzhang and others, it is basically certain that the new dynasty will continue Xia Longyuan's system... It is understandable that no imperial power would want to be constrained by the old family. Xia Longyuan has already destroyed the foundation of the family with his life. Will the successor go back and put shackles on himself? The possibility is almost non-existent.
Then everyone's choice could not be this new Han, but to establish a new court led by the aristocratic families. If necessary, it is also possible for Old Cui to establish himself. Xia Chichi issued an edict to the world, and the Cui family was the first to receive it, but they ignored it and actively tried to reconcile with the Wang family, who had just fought with him.
On the surface, Cui Wenjing reconciled with the Wang family while making due preparations for war in the capital, as if he had made up his mind. In fact, the Cui family could see that Cui Wenjing did not do anything extreme... Otherwise, what he really wanted to do should be to take advantage of his proximity and delay Huangfu Shaozong's return to the capital while the Four Elephants Sect had not yet gained a firm foothold, or even ambush and recruit this army, and at the same time send troops to occupy the capital.
If you don't take this step, you will completely lose the opportunity.
Cui Wenjing is not the kind of person who would waste time by being fussy. The reason he didn't do it is probably because he didn't want to do it. It can be said that from this step alone, it can be seen that Cui Wenjing is not just waiting for a good price. Deep down in his heart, he clearly prefers Zhao Changhe. While making war preparations, he is actually waiting for Zhao Changhe to come and give his promise.
Why is he so biased towards Zhao Changhe? Is it because of Zhao Changhe's engagement with Yangyang and because he saved him that he has undue expectations of this son-in-law
Most people in the Cui family couldn't understand it, and Cui Wenwei couldn't understand it even more. In his opinion, this was a typical emotional act, which shouldn't happen to Cui Wenjing at all... The conditions given by the other god and demon who came to negotiate were impossible for Xinhan to give, so there was no need to hesitate at all.
What's more... the power of gods and demons is too strong... Going against this new Han based on the Four Symbols Religion is still within the range that everyone thinks they can fight, but going against gods and demons is like suffocation and pressure that comes to you. Just one glance can make people sweat profusely and lose any will to resist.
Is there any need to say who to choose
The master of the house has an undue bias and hesitation because of his emotions, so let us help him decide. Zhao Changhe himself likes to use the routine of killing the messenger to block the master's choice. This trick is very useful, so can't it be used on himself
I never thought that the messenger was actually himself. He really thought he was invincible, didn't he? That would solve the problem once and for all.
"Prince Zhao has come to visit, and the Cui family is rude for not welcoming him... Prince Zhao's status is different now, so we should let someone know in advance so we can make preparations..." Cui Wenwei greeted Zhao Changhe warmly and walked towards the banquet hall.
"I'm used to being a commoner, and I don't think of myself as a king." Zhao Changhe said pointedly: "I won't be a king either."
Cui Wenwei smiled and said, "To be a king... you don't have to know how to be one. As long as you are one, you will know how to be one."
"What I'm saying is that I will revoke this title myself in the future."
Cui Wenwei was stunned for a moment, and his steps towards the hall paused. The surroundings were completely silent, and countless guests of the Cui family were also stunned.
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "I don't want to rule anyone, nor do I want to leave any title for my children."
Cui Wenwei said: "King Zhao is joking. King Zhao has fought all the way to this day and has been through life and death so many times. Is this just for fun?"
"To break this caged world, to ascend to the sky, to embrace the sun, moon and stars, to see how big the universe is." Zhao Changhe walked to the main seat and sat down without waiting for the host to speak. "If my children and grandchildren are interested in worldly achievements, no problem. What I need to leave for them is not a kingdom, but a clear and prosperous world."
Dozens of people in the field were stunned and speechless for a long time.
This is too pretentious... But if this person is Zhao Changhe, it doesn't feel out of place at all.
He and Xia Longyuan are the same type of people, and their vision is not worldly. But the second half of the sentence is not Xia Longyuan, it is Tang Wanzhuang...
Cui Wenwei forced a smile and said, "The King of Zhao has great ambitions, which are beyond the reach of ordinary people like us. Come, come, come, Cui pays respect to the King of Zhao."
Zhao Changhe raised the wine glass in front of him, weighed it for a moment, and smiled: "What will happen if I smash this glass to the ground?"
Cui Wenwei laughed and said, "King Zhao, you are joking. How can any swordsman be able to deal with King Zhao? You are asking for trouble, aren't you?"
"That's not necessarily true. After all, according to the report of the Book of Chaos, I was only on the second-level secret treasure and the Earth List. A person on the Earth List cannot withstand the siege, especially when there is also a strong person who is not much different from him in the front... That's how He Lei died." Zhao Changhe smiled warmly: "Brother He Lei died early, but his lesson will always remain in people's hearts."
Cui Wenwei's smile began to feel a little unnatural. Why did Zhao Changhe keep talking about this topic? He could only reluctantly say, "How can the King of Zhao treat it as a normal second-level secret treasure? His Highness is a God Slayer..."
"That's right. I can kill gods with my second-level secret collection. Maybe in people's eyes, I am just picking up leaks. But if I have a third-level secret collection, what effect will it have? I am also looking forward to it." Zhao Changhe raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp: "The Dragon Bird was recast, and the Galaxy was newly forged, without drinking blood. Which god would like to try it?"
