Madam, look at the sword!

Chapter 66 You, You, and You (4000 followers requested)
Every language in Kyushu has swear words.

The reason why it exists is naturally because people sometimes have to rely on swear words to express their emotions, and other words have little effect.

Although Cui Zhi's temper is not good, he has never been a person who swears a lot. But it is obvious that today he swears a lot, and he needs to express the emotions that are suppressed in his heart.

His Royal Highness did not mind this, but he seemed to care a little about the lives of the twelve women.

Why do you mind?
Everyone knows that the prince pities the flowers?

Or maybe he really likes those four words on the plaque on the Jinluan Hall?
Anyway, after the two of them finished eating the noodles, Zhao Chengfeng took Cui Zhi and talked a lot more.

It just became boring the more we talked.

In Cui Zhi's view, although Zhao Chengfeng is the third son of Prince Dangbei, he has just arrived in Kyoto after all, and he even holds the title of proton as everyone knows.
Even if he has just come out in the limelight, breaking people's inherent impression of him as a disciple of the emperor, earning a small amount of favor for Zhou Tian, ​​and defeating Dahuang, his reputation may have improved.
But these have nothing to do with the case.

Faced with the three mountain gates that could not leave any direct evidence, the Third Prince could not do anything.

Of course, he was very grateful to the Crown Prince, and thought that perhaps the Crown Prince chatted with him so much just to let him express all the depression in his heart?

Thinking of this, Cui Zhi even felt a little narcissistic.

What can I do?

It just happened that he and the Third Prince had some fate, and they visited each other's homes. He drank a bowl of soup from the Prince's Mansion, and the Third Prince ate a bowl of his noodles. His Highness could actually treat him as a friend, for the sake of his mood. , talk to him here?

Not too possible.

Thinking about it, tomorrow this young master who has been nostalgic for the flower boats since the first day he entered Kyoto, this prince who is so powerful that he can knock down the third prince of Dahuang, will return to his luxurious life.

Oh, by the way, he won the ring today, and naturally he also won the marriage. He also wanted to get married to the little princess who used to be the light of Kyoto and is now crazy.

Of course, thinking this way does not mean that Cui Zhi felt that chatting with the Third Prince was not opportunistic.

On the contrary, because they had a good conversation and even had similar temperaments, he had to tell himself calmly and objectively that he should not take it seriously when he was friends with the Third Prince.

After all, the two of them each have their own lives, and the class gap is also very large. The difference between them cannot be overstated.

Therefore, there is a high probability that everyone will still be busy in the future.

just a pity
Cui Zhi felt that it was rare to meet someone who he felt could be a friend, but when he thought about it calmly and objectively, he knew that given his status, it was impossible for him to remain a friend forever.

So in Kyoto, especially Cui Zhi, who recently found that he really had no friends around him, he waved vigorously when sending Zhao Chengfeng away.

The third prince, Zhao Chengfeng, poked his head out of the carriage and said, "Take care of yourself at home for two days. I'll see you in two days, cough~"

Cui Zhi nodded and continued to wave vigorously.

After seeing the black carriage disappear around the corner of the alley, he suddenly thought that he, who was unemployed and had no body, could do something tomorrow.
Go make some friends...
……

Early the next morning, Cui Zhi didn't have time to go out and make friends. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the maid beside the Third Prince.

The maid brought a bowl of soup, which was still steaming. The Third Prince did not come, but it seemed that he had brought his thoughts as a friend.

[The doctor said you should drink it for ten days. 】

Bai Zhi took out the note she had prepared and handed it to Cui Zhi.

Cui Zhi looked at the silk tied around the neck of the beautiful girl in front of him, and then realized that she...
So he immediately turned around to find a pen, but when he came back and planned to write something politely, he saw Bai Zhi showing the words she had just written with a look of helplessness on her face.

[I am only mute, not deaf. 】

Cui Zhi: "Oh" and then realized that he actually didn't have anything to say.
Therefore, he chose to take a mouthful of medicine that was very bitter.

Finally she handed the bowl to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi waved her hand and walked out of his broken courtyard.

Cui Zhi saw her walking away, scratched his head, and had a little doubt about his thoughts yesterday. Is he really suitable for going out to make friends?

He thought about it and decided that he still had to go out. It didn't matter whether he would make friends or not. Anyway, he was idle. Maybe after taking a walk, he would figure out what he wanted to do in the future.

In short, it was impossible for him to return to Shuntian Mansion and bow his head to admit his mistake.

So Cui Zhi straightened his clothes slightly, pushed the door open and walked out.

All the way to the Qingming Teahouse, the busiest place in Kyoto at this time, he found an empty seat, sat down, and ordered a pot of the cheapest tea.

The reason why it is said to be lively here is because all kinds of news inside and outside Kyoto usually spread rapidly in three places, which vary depending on the time period. To put it simply, they are teahouses in the morning, wine shops in the afternoon, and wine shops in the evening. flower boat.

Therefore, during this time period, the teahouse is naturally the most well-informed and lively place.

Soon he heard some news that slightly interested him.

——The Third Prince of Dahuang was seriously injured, with almost all his limbs severed. Even if he could stand up after his meridians were reconnected, his cultivation would probably be ruined.

——The reason why the Third Prince was so ruthless was said to be because some officials on Zhou Tian were bribed during this arena match. Originally, the Third Prince wanted to take the opportunity to seriously injure the Third Prince, but he never thought of it.
——It is rumored that Mr. Jingzhao Yichen has been dismissed..
——Also, there have been rumors in the imperial court recently that there may be some changes in this year’s imperial examination.

……

After staying all day, Cui Zhi returned home at dusk and took a quick bite of food.

I don't know if it was the effect of the bowl of medicine in the morning, but he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

I actually slept until dawn the next day.

So Angelica dahurica came again.

Cui Zhi, who noticed that his body had recovered and his spirits were much better, naturally drank the bowl of highly effective decoction in one gulp.

Then I went to the teahouse and listened to the messy news of the day.

This was repeated for about five days.

After drinking the medicine that day, when he went to the teahouse again, he heard the news that the third prince of Dahuang was leaving Kyoto tomorrow.

In this regard, he had no intention of doing justice on behalf of heaven, covering up his face and going out to assassinate a group of people for the sake of justice in his heart, like in a knight's storybook.
He wasn't even going to take a look.

After saying disdainfully, "I believe a few times," Cui Zhi originally planned to reconcile with himself on this matter. Although he has not made friends these days, he feels that there are several good careers.

I won’t wear official uniforms anymore. You can try it yourself.
For example, the news broker in the teahouse.

Or maybe with your own cultivation strength, you can become an escort. I heard you can make a lot of money, but there seem to be three major sects behind the escort agencies in Kyoto, which is really disgusting.

Of course, it's not impossible for small businessmen and hawkers to make a living. Earning money is not a shabby job.

Thinking about all this, Cui Zhi couldn't sleep that night.
I finally stayed up until dawn, and decided to finish drinking the medicine today, not to go anywhere, and just sleep at home. Unexpectedly, there was a knock on the door as promised, and what I saw when I opened the door was not the little mute maid Bai Zhi who I had grown fond of these days. .

It was Zhao Chengfeng, the third son of Prince Dangbei who was dressed in brocade.

"Looks good."

He commented and leaned against the doorframe without feeling too dirty.

"Why are you here, Your Highness?" "No, what's the matter, are you disappointed to see me?"

Zhao Chengfeng turned his head and looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi also brought medicine today and gave it directly with both hands.

"Thank you Miss Bai."

After taking the medicine, Cui Zhi replied: "I'm not disappointed, I just didn't expect His Highness to come."

Zhao Chengfeng did not make fun of him, but said: "Today the third prince of Dahuang will leave through the north gate."

Cui Zhiwen drank half a bowl of medicine. After hearing this, he wiped the corners of his mouth and looked at the Third Prince: "Are we going to give him a ride?"

Zhao Chengfeng shook his head: "Do you remember that I told you before that you only need to ask in person to know whether all your efforts and speculations are correct."

Cui Zhi was stunned and fell silent.

Zhao Chengfeng looked into his eyes: "I have to give myself an explanation and give you a chance. Will I go and see you?"

Cui Zhi blinked, and then immediately handed the remaining half bowl of medicine back to the maid Bai Zhi, turned around and rushed into the broken room.

Zhao Chengfeng leaned against the door and looked at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him. He heard the sound of nails clanging from inside. He shook his head and looked at the sky again, and found that the morning light was very bright today.

A bit dazzling.

……

The news that the third prince was leaving was not as eye-catching as when he arrived, which symbolized Zhou Tian's victory, attracting countless people to watch.

So this morning at the North City Gate, everything was as usual. As always, it welcomed the people entering the city who had countless imaginations about Kyoto, and as always, it also sent away the people leaving the city who were hurt by this city.

Tuo Feng was naturally from the city.

He is also a person who has been completely hurt.

Both physically and mentally.
There is no need to mention the physical aspect. Whether it was the wizard from the Great Wilderness or the heavenly masters brought by the three major sects to reattach his limbs, his meridians and bones were broken, and even if they were reattached, it would be impossible to restore them to their original state.

Relatively speaking, physical pain is nothing to him.

The mental damage is far greater than the physical pain.

Tuo Feng thought he had seized the only opportunity in his life.

After learning that the third prince of Dangbei Palace was going to get married to the little princess.

First he drank wine in the alley, and then shed tears in the flower boat. Anyway, he created an atmosphere where the wilderness had cut off the land, but Zhou Tian betrayed him and occupied the moral high ground.

Then, he had no choice but to go to Dali Temple and send a letter of war to the third prince.

As long as he wins this battle, winning a marriage is a trivial matter. The key is that he will become the hero of the wilderness who is currently preparing to retreat north in gloom.

If he did a better job and managed the size just right to injure the Third Prince, he would not only escape unscathed after occupying the moral high ground, but he would also have a chance to win the throne after returning to the wilderness.

Because defeating Prince Dangbei and severely injuring the Third Prince will definitely bring his reputation to its peak, and his father is very old.

Almost everything started off smoothly.

Because of the help of the three major sects, he even had more time than before to master the appropriateness of how to hurt the third prince.
But whatever he is.

Still three major ones.

What he didn’t even make a plan for was—he had never beaten the Third Prince
Not only was his limbs disabled by two punches and two kicks, he also lost everything.

The hero became a sinner. When the news of his defeat spread back to the wilderness, it would make the people of the wilderness who were preparing to retreat north and already suppressed their anger even more angry.

His tribe will be ridiculed, because he was the one who signed the terms of the land cession, and he will be nailed to the pillar of shame without any chance of turning over. Don't think about the days when he goes back, it will be very difficult.

Even if he is no longer involved in the throne, he may even be proposed to die to appease the public's anger.

Coupled with the current disability of the body, the last hope in the journey of spiritual practice has been shattered.
Therefore, as long as Tuo Feng takes a glance now, no matter where he looks, all he sees is his gloomy life in the future.

As a result, Tuofeng, the third prince of the Great Wilderness who was kicked out of Kyoto by Zhou Tian, ​​cherished this very last part of his journey out of Kyoto.

Because even his tribesmen in the Great Wilderness Mission had a problem with him now, and he could feel it.

Only the people from the three major sects still looked up to him. During these days of recuperation, they treated him with every possible care.

But of course Tuo Feng understands why.

He knew very well that once his spiritual veins were handed over and he left Kyoto and returned to the wilderness, he was afraid that he would never be able to enjoy the feeling of power again in this life.

So while he still had some bargaining chips, poor Tuo Feng sat in the noble chariot that symbolized status when he arrived, looking at the stone road in Kyoto in the early morning through the gauze curtain, looking in the direction of the city gate in the distance, I racked my brains thinking about how to continue my rights and how to ensure that my future would be even more comfortable.

During this process, there would always be bursts of pain from the wounds where the limbs were connected, making him unable to think quietly.

Therefore, he would naturally think of Zhao Chengfeng, the third prince of Dangbei Palace, who had downplayed everything in his life and completely destroyed him with two punches and two kicks.

Thinking of that cynical face, thinking that there was no look in his eyes.

Tuo Feng's eyes almost spewed out flames, but he was not a mind master. Even if his eyes shot out, he couldn't kill anyone.

The fists he subconsciously wanted to clenched were injured, and now his palms could only be curled slightly, not clenching tightly, let alone exerting force.
A sense of despair surged into my heart. What's the point of living for a wilderness warrior who can't clench his fists?
There is still meaning in living!

Tuo Feng told himself immediately.

He's okay
"Ok?"

Tuo Feng felt the carriage stop.

He came back to his senses and looked ahead, and saw a black carriage on the street blocking their way.

A young man stepped out of the carriage. Under the light, he was dressed in splendid white clothes, and his temperament was elegant. However, his face still had the familiar cynicism, and he still didn't see himself in his eyes.

Tuo Feng looked at him, his lips trembling slightly, wondering if he remembered the fear in the ring.

At this time, the Zhou Tian official who was responsible for sending the third prince of Dahuang out of the city immediately came to greet him.

As a result, everyone in the Dahuang Mission, whose nerves were already tense, heard and saw Zhao Chengfeng, the third prince of Dangbei Palace, saying to the official: "I have a friend, and I have something I want to ask the third prince face to face."

After speaking, people saw him raising his head.

Zhao Chengfeng glanced around and saw the three major sect members who came to see Tuofeng off. He first raised his finger and pointed at the scholar: "And you."

Pointing to the Confucian scholar: "You."

Pointing to Wu Fu: "You."

Pointing to the shopkeeper: "And you."
