book of troubled times

Chapter 211 Wang Zhaoling

This martial arts debate took a whole day from the moment Situ Xiao broke the door.

Brought by Situ Xiao and Zhao Changhe's family, the rules of the competition system have completely become floating clouds. After that, everyone who appeared on the stage was able to fight whoever they wanted to fight. It doesn't matter how many people he can beat with his absolute strength, anyway, he highlights his freedom and casualness.

The so-called method of determining rankings by wins, if there is no host responsible for counting, this kind of rule will easily become a cloud, and people will forget when they are playing. Who knows who won a few games?

So even this rule was lost. Anyway, except for Zhao Changhe, other people were not so jealous about that treasure.

None of them are at the bottom of the rivers and lakes. Anyone who can climb the Qianlong is not a talented person. Who else can be troubled by meridian problems except a certain Zhao surname... If there is any strong qualitative change in the meridians, maybe everyone will be envious , said "slightly expanded", the basic interest is not great.

What people really care about is the battle itself.

This is the mutual confirmation, learning from each other, without any utilitarianism or purpose, the meaning that young people's debates on martial arts should have.

Situ Xiao couldn't hold back and went off the stage again, and the fight was in full swing. In the end, everyone had a dinner together and got completely drunk.

Zhao Changhe sighed regretfully.

He really wants to participate, I'm afraid he is the one who wants to participate the most, not only has a very high experience value, but also can have a replay of the scriptures if you fight with everyone... It's a pity that he can't participate, even the reward that is so important to him is gritted his teeth give up.

Xia Chichi did not attend the dinner and left early.

Everyone has limitations in their status, and they can't do whatever they want unscrupulously.

Zhao Changhe was sitting there drinking a lot of wine, Wang Zhaoling came over with a flagon and poured him a glass: "Let's chat?"

Cui Yuanyang next to him raised his ears.

Wang Zhaoling glanced at her, didn't give her any face, and continued to say to Zhao Changhe: "Just the two of us, let's go for a walk?"

Cui Yuanyang tried to keep up.

Wang Zhaoling said helplessly: "If you pretend to be distant in front of others, just keep pretending, don't disappoint your father's painstaking efforts. My Wang family sees nothing, and others see it. In a sense, this is also Uncle Cui's encouragement to Brother Zhao, Although I don't think Brother Zhao needs this spur, but you should understand Uncle's thoughts..."

Cui Yuanyang: "..."

"Originally, you shouldn't end up in the martial arts competition, but..." Wang Zhaoling looked at his left palm, shook his head and laughed, "Since you have the ability, you should. A child needs to be famous and drunk, and a martial arts master will always be in the world." Show it in front of your face for a while. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be beautiful to be a sensual dog, who did you train hard for since childhood?”

Cui Yuanyang said: "Hey, why did you start talking about teaching?"

"It's just that I think today is very boring... Maybe everyone else is very interesting, but I'm just a buffoon." Wang Zhaoling smiled: "You see, Situ is singing and drinking, and even Xuanchong is laughing there loudly. And what are we doing? It's boring, it's really boring, I suddenly understand why Brother Zhao refuses to identify himself."

Zhao Changhe finally said: "But you still have to do your business?"

Wang Zhaoling was silent for a moment, and still made a gesture of invitation: "Let's go?"

"Okay." Zhao Changhe stood up, but this time Cui Yuanyang flattened his mouth and finally failed to follow.

Summer nights are hot, but the Wang family is cool.

Surrounded by artificial streams, waterfalls hang down from the rockery, splashing water, and scattered pavilions, all facing the refreshing wetness, making Zhao Changhe feel that he has returned to the water pavilions in Gusu, not the land of Qilu.

The noise of drinking in the banquet hall gradually faded away, leisurely, as if it had been a lifetime.

Even the comparison between the passionate battle just now and the green lotus in the pavilion is like a lifetime away.

Wang Zhaoling supported the railing of the gazebo, looked at the lotus leaves in the pool below, and said after a long while: "You said that some people have devoted themselves to protecting this mountain and river, but we are running around for our own sake... But why don't you help her? Big situation, or are you just doing it for selfishness?"

"Both." Zhao Changhe said frankly: "Of course, the more important thing is that I don't have the desire to protect the Xia family's dynasty, which has nothing to do with me. It's one thing to admire loyal ministers and good generals, but it's another thing to put yourself in it."

Wang Zhaoling nodded: "We also analyzed your attitude. It should be said that it is quite obvious, and you don't hide it."

"That's right." Zhao Changhe said, "So what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Have you ever thought that many of the problems today are caused by His Majesty himself. If you change the family, the so-called troubled times may end quickly?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Maybe. But can I ask Brother Wang a question?"

"Please say."

"With His Majesty's strength, he had to rely on the cooperation of various families at the beginning. In the end, the aristocratic families and the high-ranking sects were all towns. I don't believe that people like him would not want to suppress everything, but they can't, right?"

"Of course. There are always things that need to be compromised, not personal force can decide everything."

Zhao Changhe said: "The number one in the world may not decide everything, but the number one in the world can deter many things. If he goes all out and insists on taking Maitreya's head, I think Maitreya can't stand it. Hu shamans dare not enter , it is not the Yanmen Guard General who is afraid, but him. There are still many loyal ministers and good generals who are still serving their lives, and they still have expectations for him. It's because he's still alive."

Wang Zhaoling said: "Yes."

Cui Wenjing also educated Cui Yuanyang at the beginning, did he really think that the emperor didn't care about his business, and Tang Wanzhuang supported the building alone?How about reading the scriptures?
"Your father is only tenth in the heaven list. Even if you hide your strength, it is unlikely that you can beat the barbarian shaman. I don't think the Wang family may be able to beat the Cui family. Even Situ's provocations are in your stomach. , not daring to turn against Shenhuangzong. If you are so aggrieved, you really made things happen. Isn’t it another situation where the strong support the weak?

Wang Zhaoling shook his head slightly: "Brother Zhao took it for granted, the affairs of the temple are not calculated in this way. As for my performance, I am afraid that Brother Zhao also misunderstood a little - in our eyes, no matter how strong the sect is, it is a reckless idiot. They have nothing to do. I am not afraid of Situ, and my father is not afraid of Li Shentong. Rather than saying that I dare not offend Situ, it is better to say that I am making the best use of the situation, and Situ has actually facilitated what I want."

"Okay..." Zhao Changhe paused, and suddenly asked, "But why are you in such a hurry?"

This time Wang Zhaoling remained silent and did not answer.

The wise man stopped talking, Zhao Changhe didn't continue.

No matter from which point of view, the Cui family's approach is more in line with the real aristocratic thinking. The Wang family's move is very inexplicable. Even if they really want to replace Xia, why can't they wait a few years?There must be a reason behind it.If they really let them go, it is really unknown whether the troubled times will end sooner or create new waves.

Of course, now they are only in the first stage of testing the world, and it is still unknown whether they will proceed to the next step.It was precisely because of this link that Wang Zhaoling would talk to Zhao Changhe, trying to win over his position, and when it really came to the link where his rebellion was revealed, Zhao Changhe might not even dare to step into Langya.

In other words, it is possible to stop the actions of the Wang family.Zhao Changhe wanted to give it a try, he felt that Wang Zhaoling wasn't too bad...

But I heard Wang Zhaoling speak slowly: "Great rivers and mountains, who doesn't want it? Whether it is slow or urgent, there are reasons for it, so there is no need to say more. I know what brother Zhao is thinking, but needless to say, although I was aroused by martial arts just now. You don’t want the position of prince, but I want it.”

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Yes, if the Wang family succeeds, this guy seems to be the real prince.

"Everyone has his own aspirations, that's all." Wang Zhaoling suddenly smiled and said, "Hey, do you think I'm qualified enough?"

Zhao Changhe nodded: "Not to mention anything else, the bearing is still okay."

Wang Zhaoling laughed: "Look at your sentence, let me remind you. In fact, the family has discussed whether to assassinate you, as long as it is not leaked that the Wang family did it... So far the consensus is to fight first, but Brother Zhao's current performance, I'm afraid you and I will really be enemies in the future, and it is very likely that we will never die."

Zhao Changhe felt a little interesting: "Then you actually told me?"

"Tell you, you have no evidence that my Wang family did it. Could it be that you ran to cry with Cui Yuanyang?" Wang Zhaoling said with a smile: "As for why I told you...you can think of it as our family's inertia and make a good relationship. If things fail in the future, how about leaving me a trace of incense to last forever?"

Zhao Changhe's eyes widened: "You think highly of me so much? How can I decide this matter?"

"This is called investment. Whether it can be rewarded or not depends on luck besides vision." Wang Zhaoling patted Zhao Changhe on the shoulder: "I will give you the treasure that expands the meridians. I will give it to you. Why should I give it to you?" For Xia Chichi and Cui Yuanyang?"
