"Celestials!"

Hearing this answer, Zhao Ji's heart twitched several times.

But there was nothing unusual in his expression, and he just asked lightly, "Can the companion find out such a confidential matter?"

Gonggong Cao looked hesitant, but he still said, "I can't hide it! Your Majesty, although our Cao family is in decline, there are still some people who serve in Haojing, and the slaves and maids have traveled all the way through them to enter the new Taishi Liao of the Zhou royal family, and found a booklet dedicated to recording the blessing ceremony, which happens to have such prayer techniques."

said.

handed a transcribed booklet to Zhao Ji to read.

Zhao Ji took the booklet, but he didn't read it immediately, but said with a smile: "It's hard work, for the sake of the affairs of the Li Kingdom, you actually let your fellow clan take such a big risk!"

Gonggong Cao was quite moved: "If it weren't for Da Li's care, our Cao clan would definitely not know where to be wiped out. Today's Dali is no different from the mother country for the Cao family, isn't it a natural thing to take risks for the mother country?"

"Very good!"

Zhao Ji seemed to be sighing for Da Li having such a loyal minister.

My slightly dry hand rubbed over the booklet for a long time, and finally opened it.

Although the Zhou royal family has declined, it cannot be denied that it is still a cultural center, and there is no other place in the world where such a large and complete library can be found.

This volume records almost all the techniques related to blessings in the world.

The most crucial page of the booklet is marked with a record of the art of prayer, which is meticulously recorded in a uniform record format.

This prayer technique is exclusive to the celestial race.

In ancient times, after the Celestial Race defeated the Ten Thousand Demons, it was convenient for the Terrans to live across the wall.

In order to pass on the quality of the race, it was forbidden to intermarry with the human race, and for the sake of eugenics, the art of prayer was intensively developed.

There is nothing strange about this prayer technique, it is just that it simply uses the essence of both parents to nourish the fetus, which can minimize the consumption of the three.

The results are outstanding.

But all the fetuses that have been prayed for will be extremely healthy, and there will be almost no defects in the birth.

Parents hardly hurt their vitality either.

The only side effect is......

It takes about three years to recover, and after three years you can have children again.

"This ......"

Zhao Ji's eyes were a little gloomy.

At the end of this record, it is also written that this prayer technique is a secret method that is not passed on within the Celestial Race, and only the sacrificial witch blessings of the Celestial Race in ancient times are eligible to be practiced, and can only be performed by the Celestial Race.

Is it the Bai family or other celestial races who are performing this?

Three years later.

Is this accurate calculation that Lone is going to die?

There was a chill down his spine.

Although it is a recognized fact that the Zhao monarch had a short life, his age is still many years away from the average life of the Zhao family.

clearly knew that he would not live for a year, only the queen, Zhao Ning and Ying Wuji were the kid.

If someone can deduce their longevity through their eyesight.

It's not impossible.

But it seems that only Gonggong Cao in front of him has this opportunity.

If you dare to perform this prayer technique, you must have calculated that you will not live for three years.

….

Three years is enough time to easily break your "twin plan".

If three years have passed, he is no longer there.

Ying Wuji is still staying in the country of Li, and the only heir of the royal family is his and Li Caimei's children.

If it is a male baby, I am afraid that it will be too difficult to change the position of the prince again.

But......

Zhao Ji smiled lightly: "It's a good thing to say! Great companion, you said, is this prayer technique performed by the Bai family, or is it performed by other celestial and human races?"

"Ah, this ......."

Cao Gong

Gong was a little frightened, and said cautiously, "Your Majesty! The stakes are high, and the slave and maid are just eunuchs, and they dare not comment on it."

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "Forgive you for your innocence!"

"Okay!"

Gonggong Cao looked quite embarrassed, but he still made up his mind, pointed to the booklet in his hand and said, "Your Majesty! This volume was compiled by the Zhou royal family, but in fact, it has a long history, and the first half should be inherited from the Shang Palace, with a slight addition.

But this prayer technique is very late, and the time should be after Zhou Tianzi unifies the world.

The Zhou family regards himself as the Son of Heaven, and this heaven may not be the heaven of heaven and earth.

If the Zhou royal family really has an intersection with the celestial and human races, this is also the case with the record of the art of prayer.

Moreover, the Bai family's family inheritance exercises take the fierce route, although there are also many heavenly and human secret techniques, but it is not quite like a house of witch sacrifices."

Zhao Ji nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, it has nothing to do with the Bai family?"

"The slave doesn't dare to speculate, but just tells Your Majesty what she thinks!"

Gonggong Cao nodded humbly, but changed his words again: "But...... According to the Cao clan, there was no discovery of the celestial race in the heavens in the Zhou royal family, but on the contrary, it was ......."

His mouth opened and closed.

It seems that the second half of the sentence that is about to be said is very hot.

trembling, with a look of sincere fear.

Zhao Ji's voice was slightly deep: "Say!"

Gonggong Cao seemed to have made a great struggle, but finally spoke: "Instead, I met a few people who are suspected of being from the Bai clan."

Zhao Ji asked, "Why is it suspicious?"

Gonggong Cao hurriedly said: "More than a year ago, the Bai clan was in the Qianguo and sunk in the sand, and almost the entire clan was detained, these people once found Zhou Tianzi and tried to persuade Zhou Tianzi to intervene and let the Qianguo let the Bai clan go, but Zhou Tianzi cherished his feathers and did not agree."

"I see!"

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, there was no joy or sorrow in his expression, but he looked at Gonggong Cao with a smile: "Big companion! You just repay the truth, it's just a matter of the royal family's early birth and late birth, why do you look scared."

Gonggong Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to relax a lot, and hurriedly blamed himself: "The slave and maid are eunuchs, and their eyes and thoughts are inevitably narrow-minded, and they are worried that there will be a gap between Your Majesty and the concubine and the master of the horse. But seeing that His Majesty is so open-minded, it is the slave and maid who are cranky."

Zhao Ji smiled faintly: "When people are old, they still have to relax a little, what do you want to do when you are so cranky?" You, take care of your heart, you have to stay with the orphan for a few more years!"

Gonggong Cao hurriedly said, "Thank you for Your Majesty's teachings!"

Zhao Ji waved his hand: "Go down and rest!"

….

"Yes!"

watched Grandpa Cao leave.

The smile on Zhao Ji's face slowly faded, and there was no joy or sorrow in his slightly cloudy eyes.

Just sit quietly.

Long.

The voice of the eunuch sounded outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Julu begs to see you!"

"Huh?"

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, the Zhao clan has a marquis and two uncles.

The last time the palace was forced, the Marquis of Changping and another earl jumped out, and now these two young people who have been completely favored by Zhao Ji have taken over.

There was only one giant deer left......

This giant deer has always been close to the royal family, so he didn't participate at all last time.

But at the same time, he is also a very conservative person in the clan, and he is extremely protective of the interests of the clan.

The recent pilgrimage.

He also repeatedly proposed that he should fully enter Xindi and completely control the military power in the hands of the Zhao family.

In fact, the bulk of the military power has always been in the hands of the Zhao family, but the training of recruits and reserves are all generals with other surnames, and the city defense of several cities near Xinli is not in the hands of the Zhao family, in order not to let the army become the back garden of the Zhao family, and then cultivate a military nobleman like the Marquis of Changping.

So Zhao Ji didn't nod all the time.

Julu Bo came over today, presumably for this matter.

Zhao Ji pondered for a moment, and said lightly, "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

A moment later.

The giant deer Bolong, who was in the prime of life, walked in.

He is about forty or fifty years old, and he is the peak of his personal combat power, although he has not yet comprehended the supernatural power and broken through the realm of enlightenment, he is also a rare fierce general in the realm of soldiers.

It's just that this fierce general has been relatively insecure recently, and often dreams that his subordinates keep commanding.

Meet Zhao Ji.

He immediately saluted respectfully: "Old minister Zhao Du pays a visit to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji smiled warmly: "Clan brother doesn't need to be polite, the court meeting has ended, why are you going and returning?"

Zhao Du took a deep breath: "Your Majesty! When the old minister heard that Xindi was about to recruit the second batch of new troops, and that the old minister's family were all good in the army, and they had no killing skills, but they were all idle at home, so I begged Your Majesty to allow the old minister to go to Xindi to train the new king, so as to fulfill the old minister's intention to serve the country."

Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand: "The clan brother is a rare fierce general in the world, if he is just training the new army, it will inevitably be too big and useless."

Zhao Du was a little irritable, did this mean that he wanted to refuse again?

"Your Majesty......"

"But ......"

Zhao Ji changed his words: "Xinli City has been basically completed, this city is the top priority of the entire new land, the city defense must not be taken lightly, it must be guarded by elite soldiers, and most of the newly trained recruits are also near Xinli, there must be a place to go." I don't know if my brother is willing to take this hot potato!"

Zhao Du was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

Xinli City.

Not far from the palace, a new building has also been erected, which is said to be the future of the Horse Mansion, which seems to be not small, but the construction progress is not as good as that of other places, and it may take more than a year to complete.

The palace is also expanding unhurriedly.

Progress is also surprisingly slow.

Because the focus of the early construction of Xinli City has always been on the convenience of infrastructure, the priority of the residence of the powerful is very low.

This made many families who moved in early a little disappointed.

….

First, the living environment is not very good.

The second is ...... When the capital is moved, I don't know if it's the Year of the Monkey.

But the matter of moving the capital is not something they can worry about.

The big guy who can decide to move the capital is fishing in peace of mind in the prince's mansion?

"Yo!"

Ying Wuji wrapped himself in a padded jacket and ran to the old man on the edge of the pond: "Are you going fishing again?"

Dali Xindi is north of the Central Plains, and the Central Plains has already begun spring, but the river ponds here are still completely covered with ice sheets.

But the enthusiasm of the old man for fishing has not diminished at all, every day the thunder does not move, and the sun is the brightest and warmest in the afternoon to go fishing.

Zhao Ji took off his cotton hat and glanced at Ying Wuji with disgust: "It's been so long, why don't you have long eyes at all, you want to be someone else's son-in-law, and now the fishing holes are all ready!"

said.

He threw the pole down.

The hook landed on the ice cap, slipped out for a long distance, and then lay still, obviously unable to penetrate.

Ying Wuji grinned, "Gotcha! I'll help you punch the hole."

With that, he climbed off the railing and landed firmly on the ice.

It looks pretty snappy.

Just hearing a slight "click", I couldn't help but become cautious in my movements, and walked cautiously inside, and then grabbed the hook to the position where it naturally hangs.

Under the ice, there are faint fish shadows swimming.

Since he was disgusted by Zhao Ji for the first time, he dug up the best quality river mud and spread the pond, and then bought a lot of fish fry, the species diversity of the whole pond is quite good, and even made a magic circle to drum up to the bottom of the pond to prevent the stagnant water of this pool from becoming more and more oxygen-deficient.

The tip of the light-containing sword melted out of his palm and stabbed at the ice.

But I never thought that this poke would directly shatter the ice.

Thinking about it, the whole person fell down.

"Hey, I'm rubbing!"

Ying Wuji's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly threw down the hook, and he stepped the water, and flew directly back to the shore.

Although the reaction was quick and did not fall into the pool.

But a pair of boots were still filled with ice water, and he grinned from the cold.

Zhao Ji glanced at him: "I don't have such control, how long has it been since I went to the Spirit Martial God Domain?"

Ying Wuji grinned as he stirred up the real steam dry ice water, "It's been a while! Recently, I have been lecturing at the Academy Palace for a while, so I am busy compiling teaching materials."

Zhao Ji was surprised: "I didn't expect you to be really suitable to be a literati."

Outside the body incarnated in Xinli, he naturally knew this kid's every move.

Except for disciplining the Bai family, most of the rest of the time spent in the school palace.

Although the content of the lecture is not as good as that of the four masters of the Confucian and Mo Soldiers, they can always come up with good words from time to time.

This school palace sacrificial wine.

It deserves to be quite competent.

Now that I have started to write teaching materials, I may have given too many lectures and occasionally gained enlightenment.

Zhao Ji looked at his son-in-law: "Speaking of which, you can be regarded as a miscellaneous master, and when you break through the realm of soldiers, you must be able to accept disciples alone and call yourself a master."

Ying Wuji smiled and shook his head: "What kind of Confucian miscellaneous family, I think that the so-called hundred schools of thought, there is no need to divide them so clearly, take their essence and remove their dross, and use them for the king, this is the right way."

….

I also want to call myself Master, but I just write something, and I just copy a little bit from the east and a little bit from the west, and then change it to change it.

It made several masters in the school palace have a lot of opinions about me, saying that I have ruined their classics."

Zhao Ji asked, "So, what are you going to do?"

Ying Wuji smiled: "Isn't it okay to cover your ears and not listen? Anyway, Li Country is our territory, and the palace master of the school palace is also my father-in-law, who am I afraid of?"

Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head, this kid really played the cheeky skin to the fullest.

Weng and his son-in-law did not continue to talk about this topic.

Just sit side by side.

Wait for the fish to take the bait.

But today seems to be a bit unlucky, and I haven't waited for a long time for the fish to take the bait.

Long.

Zhao Ji was a little dissatisfied: "The batch of fish fry you bought before can't work, and you don't know how to take the initiative to bite the hook."

Ying Wuji replied casually, "Maybe you are too timid and scared by you."

Zhao Ji: "......"

He thought about it, he did have a little black face recently.

In the past, this kid would accompany him to fish for a while at noon every day.

As a result, I was scolded too much by myself because of the problem of having a child, and then I only came once in three days or two days.

"That's right, Mowgli!"

Zhao Ji raised his eyelids, pointed to the box under Ying Wuji's buttocks and asked, "You carry a big box to the Prince's Mansion every day, what is inside?"

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? The family that supports his wife and children can't let go of the Horse Mansion, so he moves over and evens it out."

Tut!

Zhao Ji wanted to kick this kid's buttocks, rubbed his brows and asked, "Could it be explosives in this?"

He knew very well that Ying Wuji and Wu Dan were working on something called explosives.

The first use was the fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve the year before.

But the fireworks are worthless except for their good looks.

But later, with the improvement, the power of this explosive has slowly increased to a considerable extent, at least under the condition of firepower coverage, even the elite of high-grade spirit tires will be hit a lot.

In Ying Wuji's words, in the future, it will be made into an artillery battle for children to play, so that a few more enemy soldiers will be killed, and they will be able to accumulate military merits from an early age.

To dynamite really

To the point of mass production.

It's not a good gift.

"Explosives ......"

Ying Wuji grinned, "Explosives shouldn't be placed in your own bed!" But don't worry, this thing is more eye-popping than explosives."

Zhao Ji thought thoughtfully: "I have to wait for me to kill you before I can watch it?"

Ying Wuji was silent for a moment: "Yes!"

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

Zhao Jicai smiled and shook his head: "It's you kid, you are careful in what you do, how can I kill you?" When I reach the limit, I will tell Ning'er to forcibly demolish it, and before I die, I want to see what good things you kid has prepared for me."

Ying Wuji's eyes were a little sour when he heard this: "Don't think so! Alas! Speaking of which, I'm really incompetent as a son-in-law, so if I tell you directly......

"Don't!"

Zhao Ji smiled: "How can the old boy who can be used by Yingyue to make a fuss, how can he pass casually? Don't think about saying anything, lest I, an old man, think wildly.

….

Now I want to enjoy my old age and not be affected by all those messy things.

Unless I hope to see my grandson before I die, I don't want to affect my mood in any way.

So you kid......

Ying Wuji's face turned bitter: "I'm already working hard! I feel more and more that the prayer technique was done by the two or five boys in the Bai family who colluded with Lao Qideng, but I can't find it out."

Zhao Ji nodded: "In the next period of time, you can give more to the Bai family and try to keep this power completely under your control."

"I'll do my best!"

Ying Wuji nodded solemnly, he felt more and more that the Bai family was full of wildness, and it was really not so easy to master.

At present, both the Yingtian faction and the Ying Xuan faction are very inclined to grasp their own power.

He did exactly that, the first batch of five hundred Bai apprentices had already become talents, and the average cultivation was a four-grade spirit fetus, which had reached the extreme value of ordinary people, and the influence of returning to the army would spread sooner or later.

So now the entire Bai family is very supportive of themselves on the surface.

And he is very sure that he is now the person with the highest prestige in the Bai family.

But there is still one, or a group of sixths, who don't know what they are doing behind their backs.

And it's quite well hidden.

It's a mess.

Zhao Ji smiled and patted him on the back: "Just do your best!" In short, during this period of time, you can go all out to develop the Bai family, and after I die, you need to gain a firm foothold in other countries, and you can't do it without your own forces."

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

"Hey! You keep fishing."

Weng and his son-in-law cared about each other for a few words, and Ying Wuji left.

Zhao Ji still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little hollow when he looked at the ice.

Today.

He still trusts Ying Wuji very much.

But as he said to Zhao Ning before.

Trust or distrust has never been a problem.

The premise is to hold the royal road.

But now...... In his lifetime, he couldn't even see that the inheritance was safely in the hands of the Zhao family.

What a life!

Sure enough, it can't be all smooth sailing.

Zhao Ji looked in the direction of Haojing in the south, and then looked in the direction of Qianguo in the west, and his eyes under the white hair were a little dark.

He didn't know who made the move.

But it was really in his heart.

Outside the Prince's Mansion.

The smile on Ying Wuji's face was also a little difficult to maintain.

In fact, he had considered this situation before.

After all, in this world, you can't even control the birth of boys and girls.

He was also thinking about what if Zhao Ning's first child was a daughter.

But that's fine.

Because children can come out

Raw, at least can represent an attitude.

But now there is no shadow of the child.

Is this a clear rhythm of seizing the right to inherit?

Before, Ji Yu said that he would not be able to get along in Li Guo sooner or later, and Lao Yudeng also said that someone in the Bai family would teach him to be a man.

I'm afraid that's what I'm talking about!

I have to say.

Quite tricky.

This trick hits the nail on the head, and it's no longer a question of whether trust is broken or not.

To be honest, Ying Wuji can't think of a countermeasure.

Because there is a sixth child in the Bai family.

This time I was able to set myself up on the fire and roast it.

Next time, I can also roast myself on the fire.

….

The old man can trust himself.

But it is impossible to trust the Bai family.

This prayer technique is too weird, not to mention that he will leave the country of Li when the time comes.

Even if you don't leave the country of Li and make children at home wholeheartedly, won't you be finished with calves if you can't give birth?

Headache!

I only hope that Tangtang can give birth to a girl for herself.

The situation can be mitigated a bit.

But it's just a détente!

Ying Wuji also didn't know if it was enough to solve this problem if he had left so many backhands.

"Hoo ......"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

I just want to go home and get a good night's sleep.

But I never thought that when I returned to the Horse Mansion, I saw a person with the same sad face.

Ying Wuji was a little surprised: "Huh? Son-in-law, it's really strange that she didn't go to the mountains and go to the countryside today, is it true that even the son-in-law has begun to be lazy and lazy, showing her aristocratic style?"

There is one thing to say.

The current Horse Mansion is full of struggle.

During the day, I don't go home at all, and even Bai Zhi has become a private assistant teacher in the school palace, sorting out materials in the school palace during the day, and occasionally enjoying my body and mind with the wine lord in the office.

At night, he went into a dream with Ying Wuji to teach students to practice.

As long as you catch the rest time, you will definitely see stitches and needles back to the bed to make up for sleep.

Not to mention Mi Xingli.

When Mi Xingli saw Ying Wuji coming back, she immediately stood up, and the melancholy between her eyebrows and eyes loomed.

I just opened my mouth, and I felt that there were some things that I couldn't say directly.

took a step forward, hugged Ying Wuji's arm, and shook it slightly.

"Brother Black Chicken~~~~"

「……」

Ying Wuji felt the feeling of his right arm being surrounded, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "Say, what do you want me to do?"

Mi Xingli's face turned slightly pale, and he smiled helplessly: "To be precise, I beg you to the Bai family, do you need to talk in the Bai family?"

"Nonsense!"

Ying Wuji pointed to his nose: "Lao Tzu is the head of the Bai family, do you think I can speak at the top? Tell me, what's the matter?"

Mi Xingli took a deep breath: "The Bai family is a descendant of the Celestial Race, and they have lived steadily in the outer regions for thousands of years, so they must know a lot about the Demon Clan, right?"

Ying Wuji's eyebrows jumped: "What do you mean? That wave of demons is moving again?"

"It's not moving again!"

Mi Xingli smiled bitterly: "It's always been a move, when the three families of Qu Jingzhao got the three cities around the Zhuan Yin, they vowed to get rid of all the demon calamities, and the effect was quite outstanding at first, but then it ...... The Great Demon has struck."

Ying Wuji frowned and said, "Did you make a sudden move?"

Mi Xingli nodded: "Yes!"

Ying Wuji pondered for a moment, according to what Qi Xingli said before, the big demon had never appeared without a trace.

But now, the big demon suddenly appeared.

It's like ...... The Zhou royal family gave the demon nest a higher authority.

He asked, "What is the situation now?"

Mi Xingli's voice was cold and hard: "Those big demon methods are stranger than the other

Although the surrounding three cities have not suffered too many casualties, they have been infiltrated into a sieve, if they continue like this, it will be a matter of time before they figure out the outer defense of the Seal of the Heavens, and I am afraid that the time will directly attack the city by the Demon Nest."

….

Ying Wuji was a little tooth sore: "There is no means of countermeasures?"

Mi Xingli nodded: "Yes!"

Ying Wuji asked, "What?"

Mi Xingli hugged his arm tighter and tighter: "You!"

Ying Wuji: "......"

Hiss......

has made them so desperate that they have to ask the Bai family for help.

How strong is this wave of demons?

Ying Wuji was already a little unbearable, and quickly pulled out the arm that was almost embedded in her body: "Don't talk nonsense, you can go to the Bai family with me."

After that, he went back to the house and took Bai Zhi out of the bed.

Regardless of whether she woke up or not, she put on her coat directly and strode towards the outside of the house.

Mi Xingli didn't dare to delay, and quickly followed.

When I arrived.

There weren't many people in the main hall of the Bai family.

Most of the young people work outside.

Except for a few on duty, only the Great Elder was left lying on the chaise longue and pretending to sleep.

Seeing Ying Wuji coming over.

The Great Elder couldn't help but smile slightly, "Wuji, you're here!"

The process of accepting disciples was very smooth.

During this time, his attitude towards Ying Wuji has also changed greatly.

Ying Wuji nodded at him, and then instructed the other people, "Gather everyone in the Bai family back, and let go of anyone who has work in their hands first!"

"Yes!"

The crowd answered, and prepared to rush out.

Bai Nong was curious, "What are you doing when you suddenly gather together?"

Ying Wuji said in a deep voice, "Help people!"

"Help?"

Bai Nong subconsciously looked at Qi Xingli: "That's right! Now that the demon disaster in the Chu State is serious, we really need to help."

Ying Wuji's eyes lit up, and he added, "In addition to helping people, there are other things!"

Bai Nong asked, "What else?"

Ying Wuji looked at him quietly, and spat out two words: "Kill!"

I want to drink spicy soup
