Compared with strength, although Zhuge Taifu is one of the "Four Famous Catchers" who shocked the world in the past, and he is also the senior brother of the former chief of the imperial guard of the Great Inner Palace, Yuan Infinite, his cultivation is unfathomable. But no matter how deep his cultivation is, at most he is the extreme yuan realm of martial arts, which belongs to the same level as the third-degree awakened robber, and naturally he can't be compared with Cheng Li, who has already transformed to the fourth degree of awakening and can incarnate into a dark titan.

However, if it comes to the skill and scheming of dealing with the world, even if ten Cheng Li are added together, they are not as good as one Zhuge Taifu. There is no other reason. This is the advantage of age, which is fermented after a long period of precipitation, and it is an ability that is exclusive to the elderly.

In comparison, Cheng Li is too young. The first half of his life so far was just wandering in the wilderness with a lone wolf. Although he was adopted later, his adoptive father was an out-and-out science madman. The whole day is a time to do all kinds of research in the research institute, and there is never a stop.

Although the area of the institute is actually very large, it is large enough to rival a small town. But no matter how big the research institute is, it is still a research institute after all, and it is separated from the outside world. Cheng Li lives in the research institute, and only the people in the institute can be contacted. Even though he learned a lot from these people, it was not enough after all.

It wasn't until the teleportation experiment that forever changed Cheng Li's life that an accident occurred and sent Cheng Li to the current world, that he had independent contact with everything in this world for the first time in his life. Since then, although I have experienced a lot. But all these experiences, compared with the life of Zhuge Taifu, are too shallow after all.

So once something happens, it doesn't matter whether Cheng Li is willing or not, in short, all the reasons he can use to refuse, are first blocked by Zhuge Taifu. And the means used were both soft and ingenious, so that Cheng Li had nothing to say at all.

After being stunned for a long time, Cheng Li finally came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Taifu, I can accept it." White Yujing in the sky, twelve cities on the fifth floor. You are not only in charge of the Xiuchun Tower, the head of the fifth floor, but also the head of the twelve dry cities. Sure enough, it lives up to its name. Now, you're asking me to refuse, what other reason can I have?"

Zhuge Taifu stroked his palms and laughed: "That's good, it's the best." So, the old minister is here to congratulate Cheng Juma. ”

Cheng Li was stunned and said: "These ten strokes have just been made, and Taifu actually even called the horse? too fast, right?"

Zhuge Taifu smiled: "It's good to be fast or slow." Sooner or later, I'll have to change my tune. Cheng Yuma got used to it first, and there was nothing wrong with it. ”

Cheng Li had no choice but to shake his head again and again. But suddenly, something came to mind. couldn't help but ask: "Taifu keeps saying that he wants me to marry the Heavenly Family." But in the end, which princess is it? By the way, I remember that the current son of heaven seems to have just gotten married, and he doesn't have a son and a daughter at all, right?

Zhuge Taifu smiled: "Although Your Majesty has no children yet. But the first emperor did. The first emperor had many heirs, with a total of seven sons and eight daughters. Among them, there are only three princesses who have been married. There are also five princesses, all of whom are still unmarried. By the way, Cheng Shao, how old are you now?"

Hearing that Zhuge Taifu no longer insisted on calling himself a colt, Cheng Li also breathed a sigh of relief. He thought for a moment and replied, "My age...... I guess I'm about 20 years old. ”

Yu Lin Lingqi said: "Yes, yes, no, no." Why do you say probably...... Right?"

Cheng Li spread his hands: "Because I am an orphan." The exact age and date of birth, even I don't know. So I can only make a rough estimate. ”

Zhuge Taifu smiled: "This is the best." Among the five princesses of the first emperor, the eldest is Princess Qingyang, who is only twenty-three years old this year. The so-called female junior, hugging gold bricks. From the old man's point of view, it is quite suitable for Cheng Shao. ”

Yu Linling said: "Either Princess Liuyang and Princess Shaoyang." They are twins, and they are only eighteen this year. It's quite appropriate. ”

The Bodhisattva Man also joked: "If you are still not satisfied, you can also choose Princess Miyang or Princess Danyang." These two are seventeen and sixteen. It's also in the mood for love. ”

Cheng Li said with a smile: "These princesses, they all have a yang character in their titles? What about the others? I don't know what the names are." Let's talk about it too. ”

Yu Linling said: "Princess Anyang, the eldest daughter of the first emperor, married the son of Zhao Guogong five years ago. The second daughter, Princess Xingyang, married the eldest son of Duke Hu four years ago. The third daughter, Princess Wuyang, married the princess of Luguo three years ago. ”

The Bodhisattva said again: "White Yujing in the sky, twelve cities on the fifth floor." The so-called fifth floor, headed by Xiuchun Building, is the five Yamen of the inner court. All belong directly to the Son of Heaven and are only responsible to the Son of Heaven. The twelve dry cities are the twelve important ministers of the dynasty and the twelve pillars of the country. Among them, there are seven people who are feudal princes, all of whom have followed Emperor Taizu to open the country and made meritorious contributions. In addition, there are five marquis. All of them belong to the talents drawn out by the first emperor. ”

Cheng Li smiled: "In other words, the twelve dry cities are divided into two factions. One faction is a family of military merits, and the other faction is a civilian official in peacetime. Right? Then Taifu, you should belong to the latter civilian faction. ”

Zhuge Taifu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. In fact, the situation in the court is complicated, and the various factions have you and me, and I have you, and it is impossible to be so black and white. Alas~, it would be great if it could really be so clear. ”

While speaking, Zhuge Taifu couldn't help but raise his hand and pressed his eyebrows hard. Appears to be extremely tired. Obviously, as the owner of Xiuchun Building, he is also the master of the dynasty, and one of the most important ministers in the twelve dry cities. Whether Zhuge Taifu himself is willing or not, he will definitely be involved in these personnel struggles, and he can't get rid of them even if he wants to.

Cheng Li also knew that things in the court were too complicated, and it was not something that a young man like himself could play. If you can use force and force the situation out, then it's okay to say. But in fact it can't be. Since this is the case, then simply leave it to Mrs. Zhuge to arrange.

When Cheng Li's cultivation is reached, his spiritual power is so strong that he can already get a glimpse of the future faintly. Of course, only for the future that concerns you. Strictly speaking, it is about oneself, if there is danger, or leads to a bad result, then Cheng Li himself will feel it.

Similar abilities are not unique to Cheng Li. But in terms of spiritual power, once it reaches a similar level, it will have similar performances. Among Confucianism, this kind of performance is called "the way of sincerity, which can be known in advance". Buddhism is generally called "Tianyantong". Daomen believes that this is "clairvoyance, ears to the wind".

No matter what you call it, the essence of this ability remains the same, which is passive prediction of crises. That's actually enough. At least for now, Cheng Li does not have any bad feelings about the "harmony" proposed by Zhuge Taifu. This is enough to prove that this thing will definitely work out, and there will be a ending that is at least not bad.

Cheng Li shook his head secretly, stood up, and said, "Leave these to Taifu to arrange." When I need to do something, just say it. I'm a little tired all the way, so I should have a place to sleep in the house, right?"

Zhuge Taifu said with a smile: "Although the cold house is a simple place, there are still guest rooms, and they are also cleaned up. ”

After a pause, Zhuge Taifu raised his hands again and slapped them three times in a row. shouted, "Xiao Xiao, come here." ”

Footsteps rang out. A moment later, a young man walked into the hall and saluted Zhuge Taifu with a fist, saying "Uncle Shi." Then he saluted Yulin Ling and the Bodhisattva, and called him "Senior Sister, Second Senior Sister".

Zhuge Taifu introduced: "Cheng Shao, this is the old man's registered disciple, Xiao Jianshi, the little cold god. He is also one of the eighteen Ouchi guards around the Son of Heaven. During this time, no matter where Cheng Shao is going or what he wants to do, you can tell him. He'll help you get it right. Xiao Xiao, this is Cheng Shao. During the time he stays in Bai Yujing, you will be in charge of hospitality. ”

Cheng Li watched and watched. I saw that this young man was very tall and thin, with a bee waist and a wolf and an ape arm, looking quite strong, but at the same time quite chic. At the moment, Cheng Li couldn't help but have a good impression of this young man. Hugging his fists, he said, "Brother Xiao, hello." ”

Xiao Jianshi also returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile: "Cheng Shao, hello." Although rest assured. Although I am not a native of Bai Yujing, I have been here for so many years, and I have already become familiar with it. I know where to eat and play. Guaranteed to keep you entertained. But now, Cheng Shao must be tired. Why don't you let me lead the way, please Cheng Shao go to the guest room to rest first, and then let's go to play when we have enough spirits?"

Cheng Li said with a smile: "Everything was arranged by Brother Xiao. He got up and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, stood still, and turned around and said, "By the way, Taifu, I have something here that I want to return to you." ”

"Give it back to the old man?" said Mrs. Zhuge was slightly surprised. But then I saw Cheng Li take off his coat, take off two things from his waist, and gently put them on the table. It's like a small crossbow and a quiver. There were three crossbow arrows in the bag, two arrows were blue and black and one was red. It is the sad little arrow of the original infinity.

After that battle, Cheng Li and Xue Yanxia accidentally found this thing when they were cleaning up the cave blessed land in the aftermath process. It was supposed to be nine small arrows, but most of them were gone, and that was the only thing that could be retrieved in the end. When he came to Bai Yujing this time, Cheng Li brought his things and returned them to Mrs. Zhuge on a special trip.

Zhuge Taifu and Yuan Infinite used to be brothers and sisters who were like siblings. Later, they gradually drifted away from each other, and finally broke with each other and turned against each other. For decades, grievances have been entangled. I didn't expect that a few months ago, it would become a forever secret.

At this moment, looking at the sad little arrow in front of him, Zhuge Taifu couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings. But in the end, a thousand words were only put in the heart and never declared. He sighed lightly, raised his head, looked at Cheng Li, and said with his chin: "Thank you for having a heart." ”
