Chapter 379 Strange People and Strange Walks (3)
"The two of them reunited after a long absence, why bother with such anger, it is better to look at Zhao's face and extinguish the anger temporarily?"
It was Zhao Ning who came.
He had just come from Yunzhou, and before he entered Jinyang City, he noticed the cultivation qi displayed by the two of them, and this fell down.
With Zhao Ning coming forward to persuade peace, the old man and the proprietress had to temporarily stop the idea of fighting, although they were not convinced by each other, they could only stare at each other dryly, and sat down again according to Zhao Ning's suggestion.
"Hongkou has seen Brother Ning. When the little girl saw Zhao Ning, it was like seeing a treasure, and she immediately smiled like a flower, not only greeted her in a proper manner, but also warmly beckoned Zhao Ning to sit down.
Zhao Ning touched the little girl's head, smiled and doted: "I haven't seen her for two years, Hongkou has become a big girl, but she has become a lot more beautiful." ”
The little girl smiled happily, her apricot eyes were bent into a beautiful moon bud shape, which looked similar to a cat, and I don't know if Zhao Ning said that she was beautiful and made her extra useful, or the intimate act of touching her head made her feel very comfortable.
"You're already in the middle of the King's Extreme Realm? The last time I saw you, you had only achieved the King's Extreme Realm not long ago. ”
The old man stroked his beard and cast an appreciative look, and it could be seen that he had a good relationship with Zhao Ning, and he was very happy to see the growth of Zhao Ning's strength.
Without waiting for Zhao Ning to say a few words, the proprietress had already snorted, squinted at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "With this kid's natural understanding, if he can concentrate on the Great Dao without distractions, it should be in the late stage of Wang Jijing at this moment." ”
The old man, who was staring at the proprietress just now, and who didn't like anyone, nodded his head at this time, and didn't agree with the other party's judgment at all, and sighed regretfully:
"Ning Xiaozi is still too thoughtful, and he sleeps hard for mundane things, and there is no time in his mind to think about things, but it's a pity. If there is no boulder in your heart, the realm of heaven and man may not be much of a threshold. ”
The two of them were dissatisfied and regretted Zhao Ning's talent and achievements, and they were quite accusing Zhao Ning, which caused Hongkou to be quite unhappy, and couldn't help but speak for Zhao Ning:
"Brother Ning is not only responsible for the rise and fall of the family on his shoulders, but his every move is also related to the survival of the country, can he not run day and night to plan?"
The proprietress covered her mouth and smiled: "Yo yo, before I entered the door of the Zhao family, I turned my elbow outward, so I spoke for Brother Ning? ”
The little girl was suddenly ashamed of herself, and hurriedly retorted: "Cai, there is no one! I, I am just talking about things...... Tell me the truth! I don't mean what you say...... You, don't talk nonsense!"
The proprietress didn't let her go, she squeezed her eyebrows vigorously, the little girl made a big face, and she couldn't wait to dig a hole in the ground to get in, and finally she could only look at the old man with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, look at her!"
Judging by her anxious appearance, if the old man decided to go out to fight with the proprietress at this time, she would definitely not stop them, and maybe urge them to hurry up.
The little girl was counting on the old man to administer justice to her, but she forgot that her grandfather was an old naughty boy, and now she only cared about laughing, and she didn't mean to come out for her at all.
Fortunately, the proprietress did not chase after her, as if she understood the girlish feelings of the little girl, she took the initiative to give up ridiculing her, and instead continued to talk about the previous topic with a restrained expression:
"The dead old man is right, if Ning Xiaozi is like us, he can be free from the shackles of the world in the red dust, he has no worries outside his body, and he can concentrate on the Dao Zhizhi, he will indeed achieve extraordinary achievements.
"It's a pity, being in the Zhao family, this is your misfortune Ning boy. ”
Zhao Ning was finally able to interject, so he shook his head and said, "Luck and misfortune, only you know."
"For the Mo Evil Fairy, it is a great blessing to be able to pursue the Dao Zhizhi without restraint, but for me Zhao Ning, it is the greatest luck in this life to be able to protect the people and things I care about. ”
The proprietress who was called the Mo Evil Fairy clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Although I don't agree with the meaning of painting the ground as a prison and tying one's hands and feet in your words, I have to say that your words are very reasonable and quite in line with my heart." ”
The old man was not interested in talking to the proprietress about her set of avenues, so he talked to Zhao Ning about business:
"Ning boy, since we came to Jinyang as promised, and you also rushed back from Yunzhou, is the fight with Tianyuan Khan about to start soon?"
Zhao Ning nodded: "If what I expected, Yuan Muzhen is already on the way here." ”
During the National War, how to deal with Yuan Muzhen in the realm of heaven and man was something that Zhao Ning had been preparing for a long time.
In the case that there was no single cultivator in Daqi who could compete with the other party, the only thing Zhao Ning could do was to gather a group of real powerhouses to serve as helpers.
Thousands of years of history have created the profound heritage of the Central Plains, and although there are no cultivators in the Heavenly and Human Realms in Daqi at present, it may not be completely helpless against Tianyuan Khan.
The jade seal in the emperor's hand is the embodiment of the heritage of the Central Plains, but it is not the only one.
Part of the deep power of the Central Plains is naturally in the imperial court, but part is also in the people.
If it weren't for these forces, it would have been impossible for the national war between Daqi and Beihu in the previous life to last for ten years, and if Yuanmu's strength was really unbalanced, the demise of Daqi would only be a matter of time.
In his previous life, how Daqi dealt with Yuan Muzhen and restricted Yuan Muzhen, Zhao Ning knew it clearly.
After Yuan Muzhen came to Bianliang strongly, defeated Song Zhi, and forced the other party to flee for the second time, it had already been announced that the Great Qi official had no means to truly fight against Yuan Muzhen.
In the case that the overall situation of the national war is about to collapse completely, it is a group of "unknown" strange people who have come out of the mountain one after another, with the inheritance of thousands of years, showing unfathomable strength, which made Yuan Muzhen not able to kill the Quartet.
In the end, Tian Yuan perished the Great Qi, relying on the conquest of the army.
It is precisely because of this that Daqi can support for ten years.
In other words, if Yuan Muzhen did not achieve the realm of heaven and man, then even if the Tian Yuan army could fight well, without the top forces that could balance the Central Plains, they would inevitably be defeated in the national war.
From this point of view, it is really wise for Yuan Muzhen to launch a national war against Daqi only after achieving the realm of heaven and man.
Of course, in the previous life, these rivers and lakes who came out of the mountains one after another did not really make Tianyuan Khan really good, but only caused a stage trauma to Tianyuan Khan.
And the price they paid was their own lives.
It can be said that they are using their lives to buy time for Daqi to continue fighting. It's just that the strange people and masters and the inheritance of the heritage are limited after all, and if they die, they will be gone, and the Great Qi in the previous life failed to seize the opportunity to turn around.
At the end of the national war in the previous life, Tianyuan Khan fought again with his full strength, and there was no strange man to save the Great Qi court, so he could only be defeated by the last Beijing division, and the emperor died and the country was destroyed.
Zhao Ning was reborn in this life, spent five years traveling the world, and his footsteps were all over the country, and one of the core tasks was to find them in every possible way according to his understanding of these strange people in his previous life, and persuade them to come to Jinyang at this time to deal with Yuan Muzhen together.
These high-ranking people are beyond the world, and even the imperial court does not know about their existence, and even if the world hears of them, they don't know where to start.
In their previous life, they went down the mountain to fight and fought with Tianyuan Khan, because there was no unified organization, so they went alone, and their forces were scattered, and the result was that they could only exchange their lives for injuries.
Now that Zhao Ning is here, the situation is naturally different.
"Even if Yuanmu is really a heavenly realm, with me and the dead old man, and with the cooperation of Zhenguo Gong, even if it is not a sure victory, at least I can try it, so that I don't have no chance at all. ”
The proprietress is not small, and she is eager to try. For her, fighting against the Heavenly and Human Realms was a rare opportunity, which helped her to sharpen her cultivation and get a glimpse of the more essential truth of the operation of true qi.
"The combination of Mo Evil Fairy and Xuanyuan Lao Gong can indeed give us a great chance. Zhao Ning agreed with the boss lady's assertion, but then he changed his words: "But if you want to grasp it bigger, there is another person who is indispensable." ”
The hostess stopped talking.
And it's a black face.
The old man didn't run her this time.
Obviously, the other person who is indispensable in Zhao Ning's mouth is the so-called dog man in their conversation before.
"There's not much time, so let's go with me and join each other. Zhao Ning had no intention of delaying any longer, and there was no room for negotiation.
At this time, no one knew when Tianyuan Khan would appear in Jinyang.
Maybe he will come over immediately after the battle in Bianliang, or he may choose to rest for a while to slow down his true qi, Zhao Ning can't be sure, so he can't let the boss lady and the old man out of sight, everyone has to be ready to fight at any time.
When Zhao Ning walked out of the tea shed, a cultivator dressed in the clothes of the Zhao family quickly greeted him from the city gate, and after meeting a few people, he reported a place name to Zhao Ning.
Two days after Zhao Ning left Hedong for Yunzhou, everything was arranged in Jinyang before, which naturally included the reception of the boss lady and the old man.
The old man came the latest, not to talk about hospitality, the proprietress has been here for two months, but she did not live in Zhao's house, the third person came the earliest, and was taken to Jinyang by Zhao Ning more than half a year ago and placed in the mansion for offering.
It's just that this alien is obviously not the master who can stay at home and not go out.
After listening to the place names reported by the Zhao clan, Rao was an old man who was not familiar with Jinyang City, and his eyes became weird.
Yihong Courtyard, this is the name of the Qinglou, throughout the ages, the north and south of the river, no exception.
Even Hongkou knew that it was not a serious place, and secretly glanced at the proprietress with a look in her eyes full of worry, worried that the other party would suddenly go berserk or leave.
However, the hostess's reaction was beyond her expectations.
This is still a stunning beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and there is no trace of joy and anger on her face, as if the other party is not in the Qinglou, whether she is fooling around, or even whether she is alive or not has nothing to do with her.
