Seeing the burning gaze of Master Baidong, Zhao Cheng said, "You envy him."
Master Baidong said, "If there is an afterlife, I will certainly do the same."
"The next life is still far away, and this life is still very long for you. In the future, practice medicine and help people, and save more lives."
Zhao Cheng stood up and said to Yang Taozhi, "Sister, let's get started."
"No questions?"
I'm thirsty.
Zhao Cheng turned around, and Yang Taozhi quickly tapped Bai Dong Zhenren's body several times before slapping him on the head.
Master Baidong remained silent, only closing his eyes.
Having endured too much pain at the Black Mountain Grottoes, I no longer know what pain is.
After a while, Yang Taozhi withdrew her hand.
With his back to Master Baidong, Zhao Cheng said, "Now that you have lost your martial arts skills and are free from the ties of the martial world, go and reunite with your wife and daughter. In this life, you cannot travel the world as a young man, but you can raise your daughter well and be a good father for the rest of your life."
Upon hearing this, Master Baidong opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face.
If he still possessed such martial arts skills, he would forever fear the mountain lord's revenge and would never dare to acknowledge his wife and daughters.
Because he felt he was still part of the martial arts world.
Now he is all alone, just an ordinary person with superb medical skills, and all his worries and doubts have disappeared.
He knelt down, bowed to Zhao Cheng, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, General, for your great kindness in saving me."
"Let's go." Zhao Cheng still didn't look at Master Baidong again.
Master Baidong slowly stood up and exchanged a glance with Zhao Hu. The exchange of their eyes seemed to transcend time and space, and all the darkness vanished in that instant, as did all the negative emotions.
Master Baidong bowed to Zhao Hu and then turned to leave.
Zhao Zhan walked towards Zhao Cheng and asked, "What should we do about Miao Shaohua?"
Zhao Cheng countered, "This matter is inextricably linked to you. If it were entrusted to you, how would you handle it?"
Zhao Zhan slashed with his hand and said, "We can't keep them."
"Then let's not keep it."
Zhao Cheng said calmly, "Third brother, you go back first and take down Miao Donglin."
"yes."
"Yuan Fei".
"exist!"
"It's getting cold..."
Zhao Cheng caught a fallen leaf and said, "The Miao family has no reason to exist. Send someone to inform my father-in-law that there is no need to be lenient; use swift and decisive measures to eradicate the Miao family completely. From now on, Jiangyang County will only have the Lu family and the Tu family as the two major families."
"yes!"
...
Two months later, it was Chinese New Year again.
For others, the Spring Festival is a day for family reunion, but for Zhao Cheng, it is an extremely busy day.
After establishing himself in Changsui City, Zhao Cheng moved the treasury from Yanchuan City to Changsui and dug a larger secret room underground.
Looking at the mountains of gold and silver he had built with his own hands, Zhao Cheng felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
"Money makes you worry-free."
Zhao Cheng put his hands on his hips, laughed out loud, and said, "You've earned so much this year, hahaha!"
"Children, the empire your father enjoys was built for you by your grandfather."
"But this land! This territory before me, I earned it for you!"
"Zhao Changli, Zhao Changxin, Zhao Changgong, Zhao Changge, I really envy you! You were born into super-rich families!!"
"I'd fucking want to be his son!!"
Zhao Cheng spent several days working in the slush fund before finally emerging satisfied.
"Brother, congratulations!"
At night, when Zhao Cheng was carrying Zhao Changgong for a walk in the yard, Park Yoo-hee came over and said something.
Zhao Cheng felt a chill run down his spine.
What does that mean? Their secret stash of money has been discovered?
Since Park Yoo-hee married into the Zhao family, she has been very capable of managing things and is even more competent than Chun-qin in handling household affairs. Could it be that she has noticed something?
"What do you mean?" Zhao Cheng asked tentatively.
Park Yoo-hee smiled and said, "Dong-hwa is pregnant."
"So fast?!" Zhao Cheng exclaimed in surprise, but at the same time, he felt relieved.
“I just took her pulse, so I can’t be wrong.”
Park Yoo-hee gave Zhao Cheng a bow and said, "Congratulations, elder brother, on the prosperity of your lineage. I'm going to inform Mother of the good news right away."
Zhao Cheng said, "There's no need to rush. We can go during the day tomorrow."
Park Yoo-hee said, "Besides Dong-hwa, I... have one too."
This time, Zhao Cheng was truly shocked!
He knew Zhao Yang's situation; although she only had a mental problem but no physical ailment, she wanted to have a child...
Seeing Zhao Cheng's expression, Park Yoo-hee blushed slightly and said, "The medicine that Mr. Minghua gave us is very effective..."
Congratulations!
Zhao Cheng immediately understood and teased the child in her arms, saying, "Chang Gong, you'll soon have a younger brother or sister! You should congratulate your auntie too!"
Park Yoo-hee laughed heartily.
Zhao Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "You and Mother took the second son to see a famous doctor who treats brain diseases. How was the result?"
Park Yoo-hee pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, "It doesn't seem to be working."
"I'm really sorry to trouble you," Zhao Cheng said.
Park Yoo-hee smiled and said, "I had already thought it through when I married Zhao Yang. Now I'm used to this kind of life, and there's nothing difficult about it."
At this moment, Zhao Hu hurried over, his face serious.
Seeing this, Park Yoo-hee said, "Brothers, you two chat first. I'm going to tell Mother the good news."
"Okay, go ahead."
After Park Yoo-hee left, Zhao Cheng handed Zhao Changgong to Xia Qi, who was standing behind him, and then took a few steps forward with Zhao Hu.
"What's up?"
"Yang Qingzhi invaded Yun Jing, and Feng Jing was defeated."
Zhao Cheng was stunned and asked in confusion, "When did this happen?"
"January 1st evening."
"That Yang Qingzhi really knows how to pick his timing, he's even skipping the Spring Festival?"
Zhao Cheng suddenly frowned and said, "That's not right. Today is only January 5th. Could it be that Feng Jing couldn't even last five days before he was defeated?"
Zhao Hu nodded and said, "The news from Yiwen Society and the Zhennan Border Army is consistent, so there can be no mistake. On the night of January 1st, Yang Qingzhi led his army in a surprise attack, splitting into two routes, and captured Yunjing City and Yunshui City by noon the next day. Feng Jing retreated to Yunmeng City, but the city fell before it could even hold out for a day. So to be precise, Feng Jing couldn't even hold out for three days..."
How many men did Yang Qingzhi bring?
"The 100,000-strong Yang Family Army".
"Feng Jing's Zhennan Border Army has been replenished to 200,000 men, yet 200,000 men were defeated by 100,000 men in less than three days?"
Zhao Cheng angrily exclaimed, "This shouldn't be Feng Jing's level!!"
Zhao Hu said, "Could it be that Feng Jing deliberately let us win?"
"impossible!"
Zhao Cheng punched the tree trunk and said to Xia Qi, who was not far away, "Take Chang Gong back first!"
"Yes, Master." Xia Qi left, leaving only Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu in the courtyard.
Zhao Cheng said, "Feng Jing is now a second-rank general and has made great contributions when we were cleaning up the court of corrupt officials. As long as our Zhao family doesn't fall, he will eventually rise to the highest ranks of the court. There is absolutely no need for him to collude with the enemy!"
After a pause, Zhao Cheng asked, "Where is Feng Jing now?"
Zhao Hu's face showed difficulty as he said, "The military report says... Feng Jing has gone missing."
