Zhao Changhe knew that Tang Wanzhuang and other people with ulterior motives had basically locked the suspicion of the prince on him.
Originally, there were two people left alive in Luojiazhuang, and Xia Chichi was also a suspect. Since she was a woman, everyone had a preconceived notion that she was the prince, so they didn't pay much attention to her for the time being, and everyone was studying Zhao Changhe first.
If you don't study it, you still think he shouldn't be one, after all, there are many deviations. First of all, the age is wrong. Zhao Changhe claims to be 20, and the prince should be around 17. Moreover, the Book of Chaos proves that he has just started practicing martial arts. The prince should not have started practicing martial arts at this time. Cui Wenjing didn't think it was right at first, and thought that he would be dead and that would be the end of it.
The more they studied, the more they thought he was a scholar. He was not a country boy with the cultural background he should have. This was too suspicious. The magical skills and the dragon-sparrow compatibility were irrefutable evidence. Other flaws were not a big deal. They had no idea how much they had explained for him.
For example, his age must have been because he didn't want to be a prince, so he took advantage of his mature looks and lied about his age to mislead others; he practiced martial arts probably because he originally planned to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life, but Zhaocuo was massacred by Luo Zhenwu and Luojiazhuang was wiped out, so he finally realized that fists were the truth in these troubled times, so he determined to practice, and so on and so forth... This just happens to explain why he is so talented and how he became so good at training in just half a year. He has the best bloodline in the world, so I understand.
This time, no one paid attention to Xia Chichi. Cui Wenjing even directly called her a demon cult witch, which was evident. Apart from the coincidence of age and surname, which could be seen everywhere in the world, she had nothing else that matched what a prince should have. Even her martial arts were all evil martial arts of the demon cult. She was most likely an insider planted by the Four Symbols Sect in Luojia Village in the early years.
Zhao Changhe could roughly guess what they were thinking, and felt quite ironic. It was really impossible to guess Xia Longyuan's thoughts, only Xia Longyuan himself knew, and Xia Chichi's mother's White Tiger Magic Skill was the biggest evidence... However, if he didn't say it, no one would know.
I always feel that there is a pair of teasing eyes watching me from a distance, as if asking: Hey, I know you are not my son, do you want to call me dad
Is he also one of the people standing up in the clouds and overlooking the monkey show
But Zhao Changhe is very annoying.
He coveted Xia Longyuan's inner strength.
Although I am currently unable to major in this technique due to my limited qualifications, I know in my heart that this technique has endless potential.
Even now, it is very helpful to me, whether it is to promote external practice, transform and increase blood power in battle, suppress illness, and recover quickly after illness, I can't live without this set of skills for almost a day. He often fights against opponents of higher levels, and on the surface it seems that it is the blood evil skill that is in play, but the credit of this internal skill accounts for half, otherwise he can't jump to a fart level, and he would be exhausted even if he uses the God and Buddha Dispersion.
Then he also coveted the Great Xia Dragon Bird. As a swordsman, he really liked this sword and couldn't let it go. Originally, it was not so good to carry the Dragon Bird. He knew it would cause trouble, but it was still difficult to give it up.
After all, I am not a cultivator, so I cannot be neither greedy nor delusional.
Since he had coveted Xia Longyuan's things, he should bear the consequences. Now it was difficult for him to explain to others what was going on with the inner strength and the dragon bird. He couldn't sell Xia Chichi either. After all, Xia Chichi really hated Xia Longyuan and didn't want to be a princess at all.
When Tang Wanzhuang pointed out the matter, he didn't know how to shirk it.
Seeing Zhao Changhe was silent for a long time, Tang Wanzhuang sighed and said softly: "Have you hated Your Majesty... all these years?"
Zhao Changhe twitched his lips and said, "You guessed right, but that person is Chi Chi."
Tang Wanzhuang was silent for a long time, as if hesitating. After a while, she finally made up her mind and whispered, "Although it can't be seen on the surface, your majesty must have had problems with his practice. Many people have guessed it, so there are undercurrents and turmoil now... So some things are not that he doesn't care, he's probably powerless to take care of them."
He seemed to feel a little embarrassed as he said this. After all, it had been more than ten years. It didn't require him to have any great cultivation skills to send someone out to pick up the mother and child.
So he lowered his head slightly, brewed tea silently, and said no more.
Zhao Changhe simply said: "I'm not one anyway, there's no point in telling me."
If the previous denial was a true denial, then this denial would sound like "angry words" to anyone. Tang Wanzhuang was too lazy to even expose it, and directly said: "If Your Highness does not admit it, will you just sit back and watch the Great Xia Dynasty be left without a successor and the country be overthrown?"
Zhao Changhe said: "It's none of my business."
Tang Wanzhuang sighed: "Even if you are not, since you have inherited the Six Harmonies Divine Art and the Great Xia Dragon Bird, shouldn't you do something?"
Zhao Changhe's first reaction was that he finally knew the name of Xia Ji's Eight Refinements. Liuhe Divine Art... You might as well call it the Eight Desolations and Six Combinations I Am the Only One Art.
Then he sighed and said, "It is true that I should be rewarded for taking his things. As long as you don't force me to be a prince and I do something for him in exchange, I am willing to do that." Tang Wanzhuang was silent again.
If you don't become a prince, then what can we do for you? Can we rely on you, a fourth-level martial artist, to go out and fight
But Zhao Changhe suddenly said, "Hey, it's good for you if I don't become a prince. If I do, you will be embarrassed. We just apologized to each other. Is the next step to discuss marriage? I haven't even brushed my teeth yet."
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned for a moment, and her face, which had always been calm and elegant, turned slightly red, visibly.
She was not angry when compared to a prostitute. She was not angry when told to clean up and wait for me. She even made fun of it. But when it really happened, her face turned red, and there was a clear shame in her eyes: "Even if you are a prince, what does it have to do with me? Why do you want to discuss marriage? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. Who told you that there is continuity in discussing marriage and you can change people?!"
Zhao Changhe lowered his head and drank his tea: "I know you are anxious, please don't be anxious."
This kind of words is even more typical. Even if she wasn't anxious, she would be anxious because of them. Tang Wanzhuang's chest was heaving with anxiety, and she looked like she was about to start coughing again.
Zhao Changhe said: "I looked at the ranking of books on chaotic times compiled by others, and you are ranked third on the earth list?"
Tang Wanzhuang panted lightly and took a deep breath, feeling a little weak: "So what?"
"Although it doesn't say how old you are, I guess with your level of cultivation and being a high-ranking official in the imperial court, you can't be young. Are you over thirty?"
"… Twenty-eight."
Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that it was really awesome.
I wonder if she was one of those people who was on the Hidden Dragon List before she was 25 years old and got on the Human List. If she got on the Human List at the age of 25, then she did it within three years... No, her ranking was a year ago. In other words, she went from the bottom of the Human List to the top three on the Earth List within two years? Kind of scary.
With such potential and strength, it is no wonder that he can become a high-ranking official in the court at such a young age.
A sickly military strategist and a charming queen. Tsk.
I admired him in my heart, but what I said was: "So you are already 28, and I am 20... According to your guess, the prince should actually be 17. He is almost a generation older, so stop eating young grass, dear."
Tang Wanzhuang's teeth were almost broken: "What I said is, there is no need for me to discuss marriage with you!"
Zhao Changhe sneered, "You think so, but your family may not necessarily think so. Otherwise, why would you trick Yangyang into going to Beimang? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Tang Wanzhuang breathed softly and didn't say anything.
"So." Zhao Changhe poured himself another cup of tea and said leisurely, "I don't want to acknowledge the prince, and you don't want to find a prince to discuss marriage. Aren't we natural allies? You can cover it up for me and say it's not you, and then assign me some tasks to repay the debt of the technique and Longque. Everyone will be happy, isn't it great?"
Tang Wanzhuang had a blank expression on her face.
Do you know how naive your proposal is
But how to say it... As long as he acknowledges it, not only can he inherit an empire, but he also has a great chance of getting her, Tang Wanzhuang, directly.
Tang Wanzhuang didn’t know how many people in the world could resist such temptation, but there was one right in front of her.
Zhao Changhe's nonsense suddenly came to her mind, one of which was this: "The man Tang Wanzhuang will never get..."
It seems like this sentence is sincere
