Chapter 69: He's a Little Cucumber
At the waterhole, Wu Gan's mind was turning, and he didn't know why Zhao Ling suddenly asked such a topic.
The art of witchcraft has always been vigilant and has caused an uproar in the palaces of various countries many times. How many heads are rolling down, and how many historical processes have been rewritten.
Hearing this, Wu Gan's heart was alarmed, whether this royal lord was testing himself or adding other intentions.
"Well, I'm going to ask you." Zhao Ling turned around, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Wu Yan coldly.
Wu Genzheng lowered his head and organized his words, "Look up and look at me, is it possible that I am so ugly." Zhao Ling was a little impatient, said in a cold voice, and reached out to lift Wu Gan's chin.
Looking at the other party's grim gaze, Wu Yan smiled instead, and gently took his hand away from under his chin, "Does Lord Weng want me to do it, or not." ”
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Zhao Ling suddenly smiled and said, "Then I know." ”
Knowing your size, Wu Yan scolded wildly in his heart, he didn't say that he knew these methods.
At this moment, a person stood up from the shadow of the pond and staggered along the stone bank, "Sister, when the spring is so sultry, how can you let this subordinate come here to spoil the scenery." I haven't seen her for a few days, and my sister is getting more and more beautiful. ”
Wu Yan turned around and saw a young man walking over, his hair was scattered over his shoulders, and his appearance was Zhou Zheng, but there was a trace of shadow between his eyebrows.
"Oh, cousin, why did you get here?" Zhao Ling looked at each other with a smile, and the light veil on his shoulders slid down a little.
"My aunt was afraid that something would happen to you, so she sent me over early to answer it, I originally wanted to hide it and surprise my sister, but I didn't want to be dismayed by this person, and my eyes were not full, so I couldn't help it." The man looked at Zhao Ling greedily and behaved lightly.
Seeing that the two were ambiguous, Wu Qian was ready to leave with interest.
"Wait." Zhao Ling suddenly spoke, motioned to the maid to pick up a piece of copper slip by the pond, and gave it to Wu Gan, "This question Tianzong is really not doing business, I originally thought it was some kind of alchemy method, but I didn't want to make tofu food." I've sent you, Wu Gan. ”
Taking the copper slip, Wu Qian bowed down and said, "Lord Xie Weng." His eyes glanced at the edge of the pool, wondering if this Zhao Ling had any other rewards.
"Don't go yet." The man was a little angry.
Wu Gen had to turn around and leave, and a man's questioning voice came from behind him, "The newly accepted face, isn't it the same, my sister's vision is a little out of standard." ”
"Eh, people are a little cucumber, you have to slowly brush your hair so that you don't prick."
……
Wu Yan roared in his heart, your whole family is the head of the face, and your whole family is a cucumber, and rushed back to the camp in anger.
The next day, the convoy set off early. Further on, there were gradually people. Looking at the familiar scene, everyone felt a little like a world away.
Since they have arrived here, there should be no more risk, Zhang Yuan and Sha Pestle are not ready to go all the way to Guanxi City, so they will resign to Zhao Ling. This trip, there are only two people left of more than 40 people, which is not miserable.
"The two of you fought bravely to kill the thief on this trip, and I will make it clear to Qin County. Others who have fallen into the hands of thieves will also be able to survive. Zhao Ling glanced at Wu Yan meaningfully as he spoke, and waved his hand to let the two leave.
Zhang Yuan once secretly told Wu Gen that Zhao Ling privately recruited him to serve in the palace guard, but he refused. The Zhang family has been serving in the border for many generations, and he really doesn't want to leave.
People have their own ambitions, and the right choice is good, with their temperament, I'm afraid it will be difficult to please the guards, so it's better to stay in the box army, and a group of old buddies help each other to be more comfortable.
Looking at Zhang Yuan's figure, Wu Yan sighed, and if he went down, he would have to walk alone, no, there was one more Chu Ji.
The convoy passed through the county and soon arrived at Guanxi City. Along the way, Zhao Ling was tired of being with his "cousin" all day long, but he didn't trouble Wu Gen anymore. It's just that every time he sees Wu Gan, the "cousin" always shows a hostility.
Compared with Dingyuan City, Guanxi City is obviously much larger, and there are twelve city gates alone, which can also be described as a big city in Zhao State.
When there were still ten miles away from the city, the wide streets were already full of officials and gentlemen, all of whom welcomed Zhao Ling's return. The surroundings have long been closed, and people passing by can only take a detour.
The leader was a young man with a short beard, sitting on a horse with his eyes slightly closed. He behaved like this, and the big team was silent.
When the convoy arrived in front of everyone, the young man turned over and dismounted, and glanced at his "cousin" who followed the carriage intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"Sister, this trip has been hard, and the journey has been smooth." The young man spoke.
Zhao Ling got out of the car, compared with the casual dress on the road, with a Lingyun bun on his head, wearing a skirt of lingering immortals, and the huge blue bird hairpin was really eye-catching, "Thank you brother for welcoming you from afar, thanks to the blessing of my father, Ling'er's trip is still smooth, fortunately not dishonored." ”
The young man looked at the somewhat broken carriage behind Zhao Ling, and said warmly: "My sister has had a rough trip, since she has arrived home, you might as well change to a more comfortable car." He turned his head and pointed to a luxurious carriage in the middle of the road, pulled by twelve handsome and sturdy horses.
Zhao Ling glanced up, and said with a smile: "That's it, my brother actually greeted him with twelve cars, but only the emperor can ride today, and the little sister is blessed and can't suppress such luck." ”
The young man patted his head and said angrily, "Careless, I originally just thought that my sister would ride more comfortably, and I almost committed a taboo, so just remove the four horses." As he spoke, he prepared to call for the removal of the four horses.
"No need, my brother is kind and my little sister understands it. Along the way, I'm used to sitting in this car, so let's go as usual. Father should be in a hurry, I'd better enter the city quickly. Zhao Ling smiled and turned around and got into his carriage.
"Eh......" The young man couldn't stop him, so he had to laugh dryly, "Okay, just listen to my sister." "Flip on your horse.
Looking at the operation of these two people, Wu Gen had a little toothache, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, intriguing and detaching, and none of them were fuel-efficient lamps. It was estimated that this one wanted to rob Zhao Ling of what he had gained, but he didn't want his sister to be a human spirit, so he blocked it back.
The group gathered around the convoy and walked towards the city.
When he arrived at the palace, Wu Gan's eyes widened. The courtyard wall of this palace is not visible at a glance, and it occupies at least half of the land of Guanxi City.
The door is heavily guarded, and the armor soldiers on the high palace gate are strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to approach within a hundred steps.
It's a pity that Wu Gen and Chu Ji couldn't follow in, but were sent to a side courtyard, which was close to Zhao Ling's daily living place.
Wu Gen and Chu Ji settled down, poor little Chu Ji, he had never seen such a magnificent house, and it was not until he sat down that he sighed faintly: "How many children have their family given birth to, and so many houses have been built. ”
Not to mention the sighs of the two turtles, as soon as Zhao Ling returned home, he took the carriage to the palace to meet his father, Zhao Chang, the king of Jinchun. As for her brother Zhao Qian, he followed closely.
Zhao Chang was about fifty years old, with three strands of white hair, holding a whisk in his hand, sitting on a chair and watching his son and daughter walk in.
"Father, the son did not fail in his mission, and finally brought back the classics of Wentianzong." As soon as Zhao Ling entered the hall, he knelt on the ground.
Zhao Chang bowed slightly, "I've suffered." Motioning to present the contents of the car.
The guards presented various utensils, jade slips, gold leaf, and other things, and placed them all over the place. Zhao Chang stood up and looked among the various objects, his face trembling slightly. This is the belongings of a big sect, not to mention anything else, just these jade slips, each of which can be described as priceless in the world.
After turning around, Zhao Chang stroked his beard lightly, "Very good, Ling'er should make a big contribution this time." Hurry up and talk, how is the situation of this trip, tell me in detail. ”
Zhao Qian, who was kneeling beside him, turned pale, and quietly glanced at Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling ignored the strange gaze beside him, got up and told the story of the hardships and dangers along the way, but hid the matter of sharing the harvest with Yun Ming, but said that he had killed many thieves.
The expression between the words was as usual, not arrogant or anxious, but Zhao Chang heard that Zhao Ling's trip was not so smooth, and it could even be said that it was full of dangers, and he couldn't help but feel secretly relieved.
This daughter of her own, she has been clever and intelligent since she was a child, and she is no less than a man. The reason why she was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility this time was also because she was able to do things and had a lot of means.
As for his son's face, he naturally couldn't escape his eyes, and Zhao Chang was not worried about this. The two children fought openly and secretly, so that they were beneficial to themselves, the king of Jinchun. Therefore, all along, Zhao Chang has been openly and secretly encouraging his two children to fight and win.
After talking about the itinerary on the road, Zhao Ling knelt on the ground again, "Please forgive my father, my son was in distress on the road, and I promised to grant him the title of nobleman, and I hope that my father will be successful." ”
Zhao Qian, who was beside him, heard this, and said loudly: "My sister's move is very inappropriate, how can the noble Ding Ji promise casually, you know, only if there is an heir in the house, you can repay the court's favor."
It's hard to give you and me multiple brothers and sisters, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it. At this time and that time, just give him some rewards, why be so serious. ”
Zhao Ling didn't say a word, just looked at his father silently.
Zhao Chang raised his eyebrows, Zhao Ling has never traded at a loss, and giving away one point is to get back ten points.
Just like Zhang Qing, the nephew of his concubine, the elder of the family is the elder of the Genshan Sect of Zhao Guoda's cultivation sect, and he thinks that he has taken advantage of his daughter. As everyone knows, where did the Qi Cultivation Sutra that has been produced in the palace for so many years come from.
It was all this nephew who worked hard to move out of the door to take advantage of it, and I don't know who took advantage of whom. A little sacrifice is nothing compared to the great cause of cultivation.
"Ling'er, this person can be strange." Zhao Chang ignored his somewhat angry son and asked kindly.
"Father, this person may be a descendant of a warrior, not afraid of obscurity, if he re-enters the Starfall Plain in the future, then ......"
"Oh, that's a bit useful, so it's good for later."
"Father, this person is cunning, has a lot of means, and is very good in force, if it is retracted, it will also be a great help in the house."
"It's okay, but there is a lack of people in the palace who are skilled in martial arts."
"Father." Zhao Ling lowered his voice and said word by word, "This person is still a soul master, and he knows the magic of witchcraft." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent, and Zhao Chang looked stunned, and waved his hand to drive all the guards out.
"That's true." Zhao Chang stared at his daughter.
"It's definitely true, I was asking Tianzong that day, this person has some means to defeat evil spirits, and there is no doubt that he is a soul master. His daughter also asked him if he knew how to use witchcraft, but he didn't say it explicitly, but said that if his daughter wanted him, he would have it, and this attitude was just a means to wait for the price to sell. ”
Zhao Chang took a breath of cold air, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he pinched his long hair and groaned.
Zhao Ling leaned over, "Father, even the girl he transferred to Ding is also a special ability and can see some strange things. ”
"In other words, buy one and get one free. Then who is this Ding book for? ”
"To that girl, as long as the little guy is here, he won't be able to run."
"Maybe you can handle it."
"Father, don't worry, he's just a little cucumber."
"That's right. Tian Ding in the family, I am afraid that the kid sitting on the dragon chair will not give a name. ”
Hahaha, Zhao Chang's laughter resounded in the hall.
