Chapter 103: Dying
And just like that, the days passed.
It's been half a month in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Ting still went to Datong Academy day after day, and then went home to cultivate, repeating the life of two points and one line, and slowly, the killing power in his body has unconsciously risen to another level.
What Zhao Ting didn't know was that he had inadvertently thwarted the sniping of the Zhou family of the Spirit Clan against Tian Mingyuan, a member of the imperial court, if he knew, I am afraid he should sigh, the involvement between himself and the Zhou family is really getting heavier and heavier, inextricably linked, and it is impossible to prevent it.
In the past, he killed Zhou Yuan, the seventh generation of the Zhou family, and burned his body to extinction. Later, he slapped to death the "paper spirit" of Zhou Chongguang, the boss of the Zhou Family Refining God Realm, which led to the complete failure of Zhou Chongguang's assassination mission. This hatred is easily afraid that it will not be unraveled.
If the Zhou family knew that Zhao Ting had done so many "good" things behind his back, they would definitely want to immediately send a Spirit Refining Realm Spirit Clan to slap him to death, but fortunately, they didn't know about Zhao Ting's existence for the time being, so Zhao Ting was now living comfortably.
Although the days of school are easy, they are also boring, if it weren't for Lin Sijun's undead heart for Zhao Ting, and he would have nothing to tease him, he wouldn't know how boring his life would be.
"Knock, knock, knock"!
The evening drum of the academy sounded, and it was time to get out of school again.
"Brother Wang, you said in the morning that the pattern between the DPRK and China is about to change, is it true?" a scholar in a gray robe asked in a low voice.
The young man known as "Brother Wang" was dressed in wealth and wealth, with a faint sense of arrogance on his face, he glanced left and right, and found that there was no one, so he whispered, "Of course it's true, Wang heard that he is seriously ill and dying today, and he can't think of this month." Brother Qian, you also know that the court is now divided into two factions, the crown prince and the eighth prince, the prince has many factions and henchmen, and the eighth prince has people in the army. ”
"As soon as that one dies, Youjing will inevitably bleed, and then the new emperor will ascend the throne! Well, according to Wang's view, the chances of the eighth prince winning are greater. ”
Speaking of this, "Brother Wang" paused for a moment, and said mysteriously, "I wonder if the two brothers have heard of the Spirit Clan?"
Another white-robed scholar took over the conversation and whispered in confusion, "Spirit Clan?
"Brother Wang" smiled proudly, leaned in front of the two, and said in a low voice, "The Spirit Clan is the name of the "Hidden Family" in my Dawu Dynasty. ”
Saying that, "Brother Wang" stretched out five fingers and said, "Under my rule, there are five major spirit clans. They are the Zhou family, the Lin family, the Huang family, the Bai family, and the Tang family. Of these five families, each family's financial resources are rich and rival the country, and there are countless strange people in the clan, and the energy is amazing. ”
"Let's put it this way, since ancient times, on the land under our feet, the rise and fall of dynasties, the replacement and overlap, behind which there are the shadows of these five families. ”
Hearing this, the other two scholars couldn't help but gasp, and said again and again, "It's really terrifying!"
The white-robed scholar took the opportunity to ask, "According to what Brother Wang said, the five major families can actually intervene in the change of dynasty, which is indeed unheard of, and it is extremely surprising. ”
"Dare to ask Brother Wang, what is the difference between these five major families and those merchant families who are rich and rival the country? If they are just rich, I am afraid they will not dare to meddle in the matter of "dynasty change", right?"
These words stopped the "Brother Wang" at once, he hesitated for a while, and said hesitantly, "This is because the five major families all have private soldiers, and they are all in the same breath, if one family is in trouble, the other four families will immediately rush to help, so the court is forced to deter and dare not touch them." ”
His explanation was obviously reluctant, and the white-robed scholar immediately frowned when he heard it, looking suspicious.
Not only the white-robed scholars, but even Zhao Ting, who was separated by more than a dozen feet behind several people, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this explanation.
What are these all about? Several big families have joined forces to raise some private soldiers, and the Wu Dynasty court, which has an army of one million, will not dare to touch them? Isn't this obvious nonsense?
I don't know where this "brother Wang" came from, these gossip sources, here to show off his knowledge and talk nonsense.
Of course, it was not that Zhao Ting was deliberately eavesdropping on other people's speeches, but it was actually that after his body was strengthened by killing force, his five senses were far beyond ordinary people, although these people whispered, they seemed to be speaking in his ear, which was clearly audible.
Without waiting for the white-robed scholar to question, "Brother Wang" snorted, perfunctory the question, and began to continue preaching, "The reason why Wang said that the Eighth Prince has a better chance of winning is because he is standing behind the Zhou family. Although the crown prince also has the support of the Bai and Lin families, even if the strength of these two families is combined, compared with the Zhou family, it is like a horse and a camel, the difference is far away, and it is not the same. ”
If it is true that the Eighth Prince is on the throne, then none of the civil and military ministers who the crown prince has brought up these days will end well. ”
Hearing these words, the other two scholars also sighed again and again.
"Yes, if you stand on the right team, you are from the minister of the dragon, and if you stand wrong, you will never recover. ”
"It's true that choice matters. ”
Zhao Ting listened to these gossip news of the imperial court with relish, and was about to listen to what gossip this "brother Wang" would break, but Wang Junwei next to him bumped him with his shoulder, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "Cousin, I'll talk to you." ”
"Oh," Zhao Ting said perfunctorily, looking back and asking, "What did you just say?"
Wang Junwei couldn't help but be a little speechless, and repeated what he had just said, "I said, when will my time come? Cousin, didn't you say that you would teach me supernatural powers?"
"Divine power?" Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "Eh, what about this magical power...... Divine powers can't cure you!"
Wang Junwei sighed and said, "If you don't lift it, don't lift it, I've already seen it." These days, everyone in the academy who sees me looks at me with special eyes, and there is no lack of care for the elderly. Especially the many female students in the school, they no longer have the previous love in their eyes when they look at me, only full of sympathy. ”
"I've had enough, I don't want to suffer this feeling of being sympathized and pitied anymore. If my time is not yet right, then cousin, I want to go back to Qingzhou first. ”
"Ever since I've gotten old, I've always felt like I can't eat or sleep well, and I'm mentally weak. I couldn't concentrate all the time, and I got sleepy when I listened. I don't think my current physical condition is suitable for further study, and it's just futile to grind here. ”
Seeing that he was not in good spirits, his expression was sluggish, and his will was a little depressed. Afraid that he wouldn't want to do something stupid, Zhao Ting hurriedly persuaded, "Eh, cousin, you just think too much." ”
"In my opinion, you're not old at all, you're just looking old. As the saying goes, a man has forty-one flowers, and the older he gets, the more popular he is, and you are now in the golden age of your life. You just haven't figured out your personality and positioning for the time being, and you're just a little confused for a while, you just need to transform into a ......"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Junwei interrupted him with a wry smile and said, "Cousin, you don't need to comfort me, I know my own physical condition." I have made up my mind, and I will inform Mr. Li of the suspension tomorrow. Well...... Let's return to Qingzhou in three days. ”
