Chapter 505: What the Heart Wants
Seeing that Zhao Yunling could become an outstanding person no matter where she went, the saint's eyes were extremely red, and she compared her with herself in her heart, and was even more worried that Zhao Yunling would one day replace herself and take away her own position, the saint instinctively felt that Zhao Yunling was a huge threat, but now she couldn't be moved.
"Why can you be in this position in such a short time?" The saint muttered to herself, thinking of Zhao Yunling, the saint maiden felt irrepressible anger in her heart, pouting, like a catfish essence.
As soon as she returned to the house, the saint was furious, smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, and scared the little maid at the door so much that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
"What's your business, what should you do?" But the saint did not accept their kindness, and reprimanded them very severely.
The saint suddenly felt that these people cared about her, and she must have felt that she was the same as them, and the saint lost her temper, scolded the people, reprimanded them for being disrespectful, and punished them for standing under the sun, in a very vicious way.
The holy woman felt that her majesty was threatened, and blamed all this on Zhao Yunling, and the holy woman decided to go outside to supervise others and re-establish her majesty, "What are you doing?" Is this something like you do? How much waste is this? "The saints shook all over the yard, looking for fault everywhere.
Several maids who delivered water were bumped into by the saints during the delivery of water, and the saints felt that they were swaying back and forth under her noses, which looked an eyesore, so she severely punished them and let these maids parade the streets and whip them.
"Holy Maiden, you don't have to be angry, what can you say, if anyone makes you angry, it will kill her, why be angry with your body?" The henchman of the saint is a villain with a honey belly and a sword, and only what she says can enter the ears of the saint, and she is the most popular here in the saint.
The saint's henchman seemed to comfort the saint with a sincere face, and the saint calmed down and thought thoughtfully.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and the saint leisurely poured herself a glass of water, nodding at her henchman, she obviously agreed with her own henchman's proposal, "You are still clever, and you speak well and make people like to listen." The saint put down the teacup, looked at the teacup in her hand, and thought that no matter how capable Zhao Yunling was, it was just something in her palm, and it would be effortless to get rid of Zhao Yunling.
"You see the people of the Holy Sect over there, I heard that it's miserable, they've been whipping in the streets for a long time, and they're dying, who let them offend the Holy Maiden?" The vendors on the street whispered, pointing at the few girls who were beaten on the street, and they didn't shy away when they saw that Zhao Yunling was not a member of the Holy Sect.
Zhao Yunling came here, originally to go out to help the sect leader check a few shops under the name of the Holy Sect, to test whether the clerks are competent, but he didn't expect to encounter the saint Maiden as soon as he went on the street, beating people like blood gourds, and exhibiting everywhere, Zhao Yunling was not surprised by this matter and didn't want to care about it.
The street procession was mighty, getting closer and closer to Zhao Yunling, "Please spare me!" Following the cry, it seemed that the few who were punished were not very old, but they were covered in wounds, and each whip left a bloody mark on their bodies, and their screams echoed in the narrow streets.
Looking at these still immature faces, Zhao Yunling remembered Rong Rong and Yiyi, if Rong Ronghe was easily treated like this, then how distressed she should be, Zhao Yunling couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up with a soft heart for a while, "They are so young, what did they do wrong?" Just reprimand. Why hit someone? ”
"Girl. I advise you to be nosy. This order was given by the Holy Maiden, and I only obeyed it. The executor was a big man, he didn't listen to what Zhao Yunling said, he was very impatient and stretched out his hand to hit Zhao Yunling, Zhao Yunling dodged dexterously, the person pounced, Zhao Yunling just grabbed his hair, he grinned in pain, and he had to fight again.
It was pointless to fight like this, and in desperation, Zhao Yunling showed the token that the sect leader gave her.
In fact, this token cannot be ordered, it can only be used as a token of the joint, but few people in the Holy Sect can use this token, so they don't know the function of this token, but when they see this token, they know that Zhao Yunling is the sect leader, and they knelt down one after another, "The little one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and doesn't know that the girl is the sect leader, please forgive me, let's stop, this is all an order from the Holy Maiden, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Zhao Yunling said that he would not pursue these people, only let them leave these girls behind, and let them go immediately.
The parents of these handmaidens walked out of the crowd and stopped Zhao Yunling, "Thank you, girl, this is a little bit of our heart, please accept it, thank you for saving our child." ”
These parents had red and swollen eyes, and there were water stains on their sleeves, obviously crying, they walked over with the money in their hands, wanting to give some money as a reward for Zhao Yunling, and asked Zhao Yunling to kneel, but was stopped by Zhao Yunling.
"These are all small things, I will definitely help if I can help, I also have children, I should always save myself and others." Zhao Yunling explained to these people with a smile that he just wanted to save people, blocked these people's hands holding the money, and left without looking back.
People looked at Zhao Yunling's back and bowed very respectfully, saying that Zhao Yunling was sent by God to save people.
In the past few days, the saint has been in a bad mood and is looking for fault everywhere, and the saint has no kindness to everyone, and more and more people have opinions on the saint's behavior and style, so everyone has chosen to hide this matter, and wherever the saint goes, people begin to automatically avoid, "Let's go." As long as the saint sees it, it's not good. ”
"You know what? The girl I met on the street last time was known to someone who had been here before, and if there was anything in the future, I would still have to beg her. A few subordinates whispered, there were people who had served Zhao Yunling before, and they were even proud, and Zhao Yunling's reputation among the subordinates began to rise slowly.
Recently, the saint didn't go out much, and she didn't communicate with the people, the saint is the best at fiddling with people's hearts, but she didn't know the changes in people's hearts in her yard, and the people began to talk about the saint's color.
As for the Holy Maiden, she was only interested in the flattery of her own henchmen and how to design Zhao Yunling's affairs.
"You're back! Since you go to the store, your turnover has doubled every time you visit, you are simply my god of wealth! The sect leader was full of praise for what Zhao Yunling had done, but whenever Zhao Yunling stood there, the sect leader seemed to be able to hear the sound of money flowing into his pocket, which was much better than the statue of the God of Wealth.
The sect leader was also very satisfied with what Zhao Yunling did, and often promoted Zhao Yunling, and over time, Zhao Yunling's status in the Holy Sect increased day by day, and even in the eyes of the people in the sect, Zhao Yunling was a saint without a position, and everyone was more willing to find Zhao Yunling because she was more trustworthy.
"Holy Maiden, the king invites you to sit in the palace." The guards from the palace had to take the saint to the palace, although the saint was dissatisfied, she didn't show it, she just nodded, changed her clothes, and the saint followed the guards into the palace.
Although the saint did not know what was the matter with the king being so anxious to find her, it should not be a good thing to see this attitude, so the saint was extremely wary of the king.
"Holy Maiden! After all this time, when will you be able to study hybrid rice? This matter, benefiting the country and the people is not a matter of you and me, and it cannot be delayed any longer. As soon as the lord of the kingdom came to the holy maiden, he went straight to the point and asked about the hybrid rice, and when he saw that the saint's eyes were erratic, the king was furious, and shook the table at hand.
The saint had a weak heart about this matter, and in the face of the king's inquiry, she had to make up some reasons to prevaricate, "This matter is not so simple, the formula is not complete, we find that the soil still has to be chosen, and we are facing a series of problems." The saint looked embarrassed to find an excuse for herself.
Because of the words, the holy woman's eyes rolled wildly, observing the movements around her, she was afraid that the king would not be good for her, and the holy woman was trying to find a way to escape.
"How long? How long have you been thinking about it yourself? I have to wonder if you're playing tricks on me, cheating on me? Then you will be punished. The king's disgust at the saint's attitude made him feel that he had been tricked, and the king went to the saint's side to remind her.
The saint had no recipe, the king pressed to ask about it, the saint replied hesitantly, the king looked at the saint with angry eyes, "In this way, you don't have to study it, my people are rare in the country, you give me the recipe, I will find someone to study." "The king has lost trust in the saint, and is threatening the saint to hand over the recipe.
"King, please give me another half a month, and I promise to give you an answer." The saint pleaded with the king with great sincerity, knowing that this was the king's territory, and that her power was useless within the walls of the palace.
The king could not wait, for it would be an unforgivable sin for the saint to fool herself, and if it were not for the fact that the recipe was in the hands of the saint, the king would have taken her head, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and strode forward, drew his sword, and put it on the saint's neck.
"I don't want to reply, I want results, you know, but everything that is in the kingdom of St. Ma is mine, and you better not play tricks with me, or you ......" The king gritted his teeth at every word.
She hated others for flouting the imperial power, but the king intended to get the recipe in his hands now.
"I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness, in fact, Zhao Yunling is not dead, but I lied because I wanted her to develop hybrid rice at that time. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness. The Holy Maiden was in a hurry to tell the truth, and besides, as the king said, no one could challenge the royal power in the kingdom of St. Ma.
