Chapter 97: A Carefree Romantic Tour among Flowers·Twenty-Five
Wanhua was in the limelight, and the marriage with Pegasus Ranch was often used as a topic of conversation after dinner. With the spread of word of mouth, the truth was completely buried.
Shi Zhixuan listened to such stories as "Mr. Xiao fell in love with the mall owner at first sight", "Ba Hongchen understood human nature and found a marriage for the master", "the two of them were in love and inseparable", and he was so annoyed that he wanted to overturn the tea table.
Xiao Hao didn't know what was wrong with him. He never mentioned the Pegasus Ranch during their private chats every night. He only talked about the details of the Western Regions. Shi Zhixuan always listened attentively. After stopping the call, he was very satisfied. Then he recalled his original intention and felt very resentful.
He made up his mind to see when Xiao Hao would tell him about this matter. He walked into the valley indignantly.
Xiao Hao had just sent away a group of recovered people, and the betrothal gifts for Lu Miaozi were all ready. The Pegasus Ranch was far away, Wanhua couldn't leave him for a while, and Sun Simiao didn't have any martial arts skills. How to send these things to the Pegasus Ranch was really a problem.
Xiao Hao thought about the possibility that he could put all the horses and steeds as betrothal gifts into his backpack, walk past and take them out later, and he touched his chin worriedly. Suddenly,
he saw a man on a horse coming from the entrance. He was graceful and elegant, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows. When Xiao Hao saw him, his eyes lit up immediately.
"I was worrying about how to send this batch of things out. Zhixuan really knows how to pick the right time."
Shi Zhixuan rode his horse closer and saw that the boxes of horses were all wrapped in bright red satin. His eyes became a little colder and he said unhappily, "Sir, this is..."
Xiao Hao just patted his forehead and smiled faintly, "Look at my memory. I haven't told you about Pegasus Ranch yet. This is a betrothal gift to the owner of Shang Qingya Mall--"
"Sir, do you want me to deliver it?" Shi Zhixuan interrupted him, his anger growing even stronger.
Xiao Hao said: "Whether you are going to Daxing or back to the Demon Sect, you will eventually go north. If you can pick up a few along the way when you pass by Pegasus Ranch, it will certainly help me out. However, the affairs of the Demon Sect are complicated. If you can't delay, I will think of a way myself."
Shi Zhixuan sighed and said in a muffled voice: "It's a piece of cake. I'll help you, sir."
Xiao Hao saw that he looked sad, and cared about him. He asked in his heart, "Zhixuan seems to be worried? If you don't like it, just don't take this job."
Shi Zhixuan immediately smiled and said, "Sir, you worry too much. Don't worry."
Xiao Hao had a question mark in his mind. The evil king's ability to change his face was as unpredictable as his mind. Sometimes he was full of sorrow, sometimes he was talking and laughing, sometimes he was romantic and unrestrained, and sometimes he was cold and ruthless. No wonder he had a schizophrenia in his previous life.
Since he didn't want to ask more questions, he didn't ask.
Xiao Hao touched the neck of the green Chicong horse beside him and said casually, "This time, the tricks that Master Lu has been studying all day have finally paid off. I secretly took a look and found that there is a mechanism that can automatically add grass to the horses. I wonder how the owner of the mall will laugh when he sees it."
Shi Zhixuan thought of the relationship between Lu Miaozi and Shang Qingya, and said coldly, "He is really willing to do it."
Xiao Hao chuckled, "Of course you have to be willing to do it when you get married, otherwise how can you get the beauty? He and the mall owner are in love, but they were delayed because of Zhu Yuyan. This... This time the owner finally forced him to surrender, so naturally he had to present all his masterpieces to the owner, and let the owner see that he really cared about the owner all these years."
Shi Zhixuan felt more and more that something was wrong, and asked in confusion: "This... the person who married Wanhua and Pegasus Ranch is Lu Miaozi?"
Xiao Hao looked at him strangely, "If it's not him, could it be Mr. Sun? Master Sun is already over fifty years old, how could he be messing around with the owner?"
Shi Zhixuan was choked by him, and the entanglements in the past few days were like clouds and sun, all dissipated, and great joy surged in his heart, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Is what you said true?!"
Xiao Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Can marriage be treated as a joke?" He suddenly realized something and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you thought before..."
Xiao Hao's face became strange. Shi Zhixuan had always been in high spirits when he came to him. This was the first time he looked sad. When he learned that the people getting married were Lu Miaozi and Shang Qingya, he turned from worry to joy. It was very intriguing...
In the Valley of Flowers, apart from Lu Miaozi and Sun Simiao, he was the only one left. Shi Zhixuan's reaction...
Xiao Hao took a few steps back without making a sound, kept a distance from him, and said with a smile: "Hey, I've been so busy with the valley affairs lately that my mind is in a mess. I always think about irrelevant things. Zhixuan, please don't think I'm being slack."
Shi Zhixuan noticed his actions, and a dark current flashed in his eyes. His behavior returned to the familiar way that Xiao Hao was familiar with. He smiled elegantly and said, "There are so many things to do in the valley, so I won't bother you. I will send the betrothal gift to Pegasus Ranch. You can just focus on Wanhua."
Xiao Hao's actions were like a frightened rabbit in Shi Zhixuan's eyes. It seems that this matter of feelings needs to be influenced subtly and not rushed, otherwise it will have the opposite effect.
The gentleman is well-read in poetry and is the best in the world. Although he doesn't have much respect for the code of ethics, he still follows the rules. Shi Zhixuan has been wandering around the flowers for many years without getting involved in them. Love affairs are a compulsory course for every flower master. This time, she realized that what caught her eye was not the flowers but the green leaves, so she was timid and restrained when she tried to show her love.
The gentleman is different from ordinary women. If she is scared away by this beautiful jade, wouldn't it be a loss?
The ambiguous, seemingly existent, entangled, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false. Perhaps it is feasible for the gentleman to be gentle and transform it.
Xiao Hao had more doubts in his mind, and tilted his head slightly and said: "Are you leaving right after you arrived? I heard you were in a hurry on the way, so I thought you had something important to do in Wanhua..."
"I was just itching in my heart, and wanted to play chess and discuss Taoism with you, but firstly, Wanhua is busy, and secondly, the Demon Sect has many things to worry about. Moreover, I have already made a plan for the Western Region, and I can't delay. I'd better ask you for advice tomorrow."
It seems to make sense?
Xiao Hao felt that Shi Zhixuan might have something wrong with his brain. He hurried to Wanhua, did nothing, and left after staying for less than a quarter of an hour, as if he came here specifically to take the task of escorting the betrothal gifts with him?
This man is very strange.
"Forget it, just be happy."
Shi Zhixuan said goodbye to him and left Wanhua with a long team of horses and carriages.
Less than half a day later, they met Bi Xiuxin again. The woman stood on the branch, floating like a fairy. Shi Zhixuan suddenly changed his expression to one of deep hatred, grievance and resentment, and looked at her coldly. Bi Xiuxin
was frightened by him last time. She even said in front of her senior sister that she wanted to feed the devil with her body... What devil! This devil is a traitor who doesn't like women but men! It's a waste of her energy!
The devil is indeed a devil, despising the secular ethics, and dares to think of such a shameful thing.
Let them get entangled. When the one in the valley finds out about the evil intentions of this demon, the friendship between Wanhua and the Demon Sect will be over. When that person is sad, his mood will definitely be greatly damaged.
"Your Excellency is really magnanimous. You are willing to personally send a betrothal gift to your beloved." Judging from Shi Zhixuan's appearance, he probably doesn't know that the people getting married are Shang Qingya and Lu Miaozi. Bi Xiuxin was happy to add fuel to the fire.
Shi Zhixuan knocked down the branch next to her with a burst of energy, and said coldly: "Don't bother Cihang Jingzhai with Shi's affairs."
Bi Xiuxin pretended to be sad, sighed, and left without saying anything. Shi Zhixuan was so angry that he would definitely cause a bloodbath at Pegasus Ranch. She didn't need to stop him, just let him make a mess.
*
Time passed like flowing water, and in a flash, more than half a month had passed without hearing anything. Bi Xiuxin finally couldn't sit still.
She returned to Cihang Jingzhai. Fan Qinghui and others had also returned for a long time. Seeing that she was alone, they knew that things were not going well.
After further inquiries, she found out that the evil king, who was so angry, actually sent all the betrothal gifts to Pegasus Ranch with good words and left without doing anything. How could he not know that he was fooled?
Fan Qinghui comforted her, saying, "Wanhua has selected the right person for us to go to the court and continue the fortune of the Sui Dynasty. Since Xiuxin has failed, don't think about it anymore."
Bi Xiuxin was so ashamed and angry that she scolded, "How could I have thought that the devil of Huajian Sect was actually a homosexual! He doesn't like women, so naturally he doesn't like us! No wonder he infiltrated Buddhism, turned a blind eye to the "Cihang Sword Canon", and instead devoted himself to the four great saints..."
The four great saints froze and shouted The Buddha chanted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Fan Qinghui also said awkwardly, "Xiu Xin!"
Bi Xiu Xin sighed, "Now the prestige of Wanhua among the people has almost surpassed Cihang Jingzhai, I'm worried..."
Fan Qinghui patted her on the shoulder, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Wanhua should be friends, not enemies. I know Mr. well. Since he said it, he will definitely do it. The national situation cannot be seen in three or five days. It will take three to five years to see results. Let's wait and see."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Shi Zhixuan changed his name to Pei Ju and entered the court. The Sui Emperor ordered him to supervise the trade in the Western Regions. In just a few years, he established the dominant position of the Sui Dynasty in the Western Regions without a single soldier on the basis of a blank slate, and won the trust of the Sui Emperor. The evil king disappeared in the world, and the real power of the Demon Sect fell into the hands of Zhu Yuyan.
Cihang Jingzhai felt that Wanhua's methods were unpredictable, and even the evil king Shi Zhixuan could be easily defeated.
At that time, the Turks were strong, and Shi Zhixuan proposed a plan to instigate the Turks to split into two major khanates in the east and west. The Turks were in civil wars and had no time to care about the Central Plains. The Sui Dynasty was prosperous and the situation was very good.
At this time, Dulan and Datou formed an alliance and defeated Tuli of the Eastern Turks. Tuli then went south to submit to the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Emperor appointed Taiping Gong Shi Wansui as the general manager of the army and Pei Ju as the chief of the army, and sent troops to Dingxiang Road to take the opportunity to attack the Turks.
However, although Tuli was an ally, he had to be on guard. The Eastern Turks had Bi Xuan, the best master in the desert grassland, known as "Wu Zun". Tuli valued him very much and entrusted him with the important task of general. The Sui army and the Eastern Turks formed an alliance. Before the battlefield, the ally had a master of the Grand Master level sitting in the camp. It seemed that the ally was supporting the Sui army with elite soldiers, but in fact it was to shock the Sui army. The Sui army was afraid of this fierce ally and dared not to fight against it in the future.
Although the Sui army had Shi Zhixuan, he was a civil official in front of others, and the Central Plains Grand Master Ning Daoqi was a Taoist Wuwei Sanren, so he would not take action to deal with the affairs here.
Shi Zhixuan thought about it and thought of Xiao Hao.
He ordered people to spread the news that the Eastern Turk Grand Master Bi Xuan bullied the Sui army because there was no one. The morale of the Sui army was low, and Ning Daoqi was indifferent to worldly affairs, without the style of a Grand Master who cared about the country and the people.
Overnight, the streets and alleys were filled with people cursing those righteous people who were hypocritical but would shrink back when faced with a big event.
Within three days, Wanhua Valley announced to the world that the owner of the valley was willing to come out of the mountains to sit in the Sui army and lend a helping hand to the soldiers.
The author has something to say: PS. The Tuli (Ashina clan·Ran Gan) in the text is the grandfather of the Tuli (Ashina clan·Shibibi) in the original Tang Dynasty novel... Yes, both grandfather and grandson are called Tuli Khan, and it is not a time travel√
