Chapter 66 Return to Beijing, Opening
Chapter 66 Return to Beijing.
The three did not return to Beijing for several days after the opening. Instead, they kept running around to slay demons and exterminate monsters. In total, they killed four more monsters.
Liuye had a task to kill monsters. This time, the three of them had completed their KPI for the next month ahead of schedule, and each of them had a lot of extra gains.
Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng made money, while Wei Changtian improved his cultivation.
He absorbed the skills of four more monsters, and his realm had reached the peak of the seventh rank, just one step away from the sixth rank.
It must be said that the magical power of “capturing monsters” is too buggy!
If everyone was not a little tired, he really wanted to kill all the monsters he could remember at once.
But there are also benefits to killing slowly. At least he doesn’t have to explain to Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen why his realm has improved so quickly.
On the eighth day of September, after some discussion, the three finally ended this not-too-long monster-killing journey and set off to return to Beijing.
…
Noon.
The black carriage with the tiger and dragon flag flew into the east gate of the capital, and no one dared to stop the gatekeepers.
Soon after entering the city, the carriage slowly stopped by the roadside. Wei Changtian and the other two got off the carriage one after another, preparing to go back to their homes first and meet again tomorrow.
As a single dog, Zhou Cheng had been fed dog food from time to time these days, and now he couldn’t eat a single bite, so he said hello and ran away like a fly. Judging from the direction, he should be heading straight to Pingchangfang.
Wei Changtian watched him leave anxiously, and then asked Xu Qingwan.
”Do you want me to take you back?”
According to the views of the feminist big V in the previous life, the subtext of a boy asking this question is-I don’t want to take you back.
This theorem can also be applied to questions such as “What gift do you want?”, “Do you need me to pick you up?”, “Do you need to send you some medicine?”
But in fact, for most boys, asking these questions is nothing more than just wanting to get a clear answer, it’s really not as complicated as you think.
If you need it, just say you need it. If you don’t need it, just say you don’t need it. Is it fun to keep guessing?
What “If you love me, you will understand my thoughts” is pure nonsense in Wei Changtian’s eyes.
Fortunately, Xu Qingwan has not been poisoned by such chicken soup for the soul, so she just shook her head honestly at this time.
”No, it’s not good for my family to see it.”
”Okay, then I’ll let my father go to your house in a few days… Ahem, visit and settle our relationship.”
Wei Changtian deliberately avoided the word “propose marriage”.
He actually didn’t care about Xu Qingwan’s status after she married, but Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen would definitely not allow Comrade Xiao Xu to be the legal wife.
After all, even Lu Jingyao, who was born in such a family, became a concubine, not to mention such a female servant who was exposed all day long.
And since she was not the legal wife, there was no such thing as “propose marriage”.
Xu Qingwan certainly understood this, or she had long known her status after marrying into the Wei Mansion, so she didn’t think there was anything wrong now, but her cheeks were slightly red.
”It’s up to you. If you want to wait a little longer, you can wait a little longer. I’m not in a hurry.”
”You’re not in a hurry, but I am.”
Wei Changtian smiled evilly: “The sooner you marry me, the sooner we can practice together!”
”Aren’t we practicing together now?” Xu Qingwan was puzzled.
”Well, I’m talking about another kind of practice.”
”…”
Xu Qingwan was not an ignorant girl. Although she was a little naive sometimes, she could understand the meaning of Wei Changtian’s words.
She didn’t know how to respond. She just felt her face was burning. In the end, she simply left a word and ran away.
”Then, then marry me sooner!”
”…”
The sun shone on the streets and alleys, and the small stalls on the roadside were steaming, and from time to time, tempting aromas floated out.
Wei Changtian smiled, and then walked towards the Wei Mansion under the scorching sun at noon, humming an advertisement song from his previous life.
”The smile of a greasy idol is not as sweet as yours~”
”The sunlight at noon in August is not as dazzling as yours…”
Wei Changtian was very happy along the way, but unfortunately, this good mood came to an abrupt end when he returned to the Wei Mansion.
…
In the study, the sandalwood was curling and there was silence.
However, Wei Changtian and Wang Er, who were in it, looked very unhappy.
Especially Wei Changtian, he never expected that the situation of the “Liu-Wei dispute” would develop so quickly.
Just in the few days when he left Beijing to kill monsters everywhere, the two families had completely torn their faces apart without any signs!
It is difficult to trace who started the fight first. Anyway, this struggle has spread rapidly to the entire capital at a lightning speed.
In the court, countless reports were handed to Ning Yongnian every day, whether from the Wei faction or the Liu faction, involving almost half of the court officials, and a group of people argued happily every day.
Outside the court, the industries of the Liu and Wei families also began to suffer from the calculations and suppression of each other, and several gangs participated in it. Looting, burning, and bloodshed on the streets were the norm.
In general, it was a mess, but it was not out of control.
It seems that the current emperor has some means.
Wei Changtian knew that the reason why the originally fragile balance between the Liu and Wei families was suddenly broken was definitely due to Ning Yongnian’s instigation.
As for Xiao Feng… At present, he is at most a participant and promoter who takes advantage of the situation, and his energy is definitely not enough to influence the situation.
This is the same as himself.
All this happened too quickly, and Wei Changtian himself, including his subordinates, had not yet developed, so it was difficult to have any impact on the situation.
If he waited a few more years, he might be able to decide the direction of this struggle, but what he could do for the Wei family right now was very limited…
Forget it, if he can’t help, then he can’t help.
For himself, as long as he can preserve his strength in the storm and kill Xiao Feng as planned, it would be enough.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian finally gave orders to Wang Er.
”Put aside the Freemasonry for the time being, and don’t absorb any new members. At the same time, slowly withdraw the brothers in Chunshen Bookstore, and try to make Li Yang’s side as clean as possible.”
”Tell Li Kan that the Dali Temple should not take sides and remain neutral.”
”Send more people from the Xuantian Society and the Liu Mansion, and it would be best if we could find a few spies to sneak in.”
”The little girl named Liu Yingying and her grandfather in Houqiu Village must be watched to death… Forget it, just bring them back to me!”
”…”
After giving several orders in a row, Wei Changtian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn’t remember it for a while.
Looking out through the window, Yuan’er was holding a bamboo pole to chase away the big hen that flew to the roof, Qiuyun was bending over to clean the chicken coop, Lu Jingyao was sitting in the pavilion embroidering a handkerchief with her head down, and Wei Qiaoling was still sleeping soundly on the big ghost.
The sunset glow covered them with an orange-red dress, and the whole world seemed to have become the appearance of a gentle woman.
Looking at this scene, Wei Changtian suddenly felt that this was good.
There were women, relatives, and pets.
No worries about food and clothing, peace and harmony.
Alas…
Touching the slightly hot mother-and-child jade on his waist, he retracted his gaze and gently closed the wooden window.
