Chapter 66 Return to Beijing, Opening
In the following days, the three did not return to Beijing, but ran around like they were going to a market, slaying demons and eliminating monsters, and killed a total of four monsters.
Liuye had a mission to kill monsters. This time, the three of them had completed their KPIs 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.
After absorbing the spiritual power of four more monsters, his realm has reached the peak of the seventh level, and he is only one step away from the sixth level.
It has to be said that the magical power of "capturing monsters" is really too buggy! If everyone wasn't a little tired, he really wanted to kill all the monsters he could remember at once.
However, killing slowly also has its advantages. 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 of them finally ended their not-too-long demon-hunting journey and set off back to Beijing.
…
noon.
The black carriage with the tiger and dragon flag flying on it galloped all the way into the east gate of the capital, and no officer or soldier guarding the gate dared to stop it.
Soon after entering the city, the carriage slowly stopped by the roadside. Wei Changtian and the other two got off the carriage, preparing to go back to their homes first and meet again at the office tomorrow.
As a single dog, Zhou Cheng has been fed dog food from time to time these days. Now he can't eat another bite, so he said hello and ran away like the wind. Judging from the direction he was heading, he should be heading straight for Pingchangfang.
Wei Changtian watched him leave in a hurry, and then asked Xu Qingwan.
"Do you want me to take you back?"
According to the views of the feminist celebrities in the previous life, the subtext of a boy asking this question is - I don’t want to send you back.
This theorem also applies to questions such as "What gift do you want?", "Do you need me to pick you up?", "Do you need me to send you some medicine?"
But in fact, for most boys, asking these questions is nothing more than wanting to get a clear answer. It is not as complicated as they 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 about it in obscurity?
The saying “If you love me, you will understand my thoughts” is pure nonsense in Wei Changtian’s opinion.
Fortunately, Xu Qingwan had not yet been poisoned by this kind of chicken soup for the soul, so she just shook her head honestly at this time.
"No, it's not good to be seen by my family."
"Okay, then I'll have my dad go to your house in a few days... ahem, to visit and settle our relationship."
Wei Changtian deliberately avoided the word "proposing marriage".
He actually didn't care about Xu Qingwan's status after she got married, but Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen would definitely not allow Comrade Xiao Xu to be their legal wife.
After all, even someone of Lu Jingyao's background became a concubine, let alone a female servant who was in public all day long.
And since she is not the legal wife, there is no such thing as "proposing marriage".
Of course Xu Qingwan also understood this, or perhaps she had already known her status after marrying into the Wei Mansion, so she did not feel that there was anything wrong with it now, but instead her cheeks blushed slightly.
"It's up to you. If you want to wait a little longer, then wait a little longer. I'm not in a hurry."
"If you're not in a hurry, 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 a little puzzled.
"Well, I'm talking about another kind of practice."
“…”
Xu Qingwan is not an ignorant girl. Although she is a little naive sometimes, she can understand the meaning of Wei Changtian's words.
She didn't know how to respond, she just felt her face getting hot, so she just left a word and ran away.
"Then, then you should marry me sooner!"
“…”
The sun shines on the streets and alleys, steam is rising from the roadside stalls, and tempting aromas waft out from time to time.
Wei Changtian smiled, then walked towards the Wei Mansion under the scorching midday sun, humming an advertising song from his previous life uncontrollably.
"Even the smiles of the greasy idols are not as sweet as yours~"
"The sunlight at noon in August is not as bright as you..."
Wei Changtian was very happy along the way, but unfortunately, this good mood came to an abrupt end when he returned to Wei Mansion.
…
In the study, the scent of sandalwood wafts through the air, creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
However, Wei Changtian and Wang Er, who were in the middle of it, looked very unhappy.
Especially Wei Changtian, he never expected that the situation of the "Liu-Wei dispute" would develop so quickly.
During the few days when he was away from Beijing to kill monsters, the two families had a complete falling out without any warning! It was hard to trace who started the fight first, but the fight had spread to the entire capital at lightning speed.
In the court, countless reports were submitted to Ning Yongnian like snowflakes every day, no matter whether they were from the Wei faction or the Liu faction, almost half of the court officials were involved, and a group of people were arguing with each other every day and having a lot of fun.
Under the court, the industries of the Liu and Wei families began to suffer from the other side's overt and covert calculations and suppression. Several underworld gangs got involved, and looting, burning and bloodshed on the streets became the norm.
Overall, it was a mess, but not out of control.
It seems that the current emperor has some tricks up his sleeve.
Wei Changtian knew in his heart 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 power is definitely not enough to influence the outcome of the battle.
This is the same as myself.
All this happened too fast. Wei Changtian himself, as well as his subordinates, had not yet developed their forces, so it was difficult for them 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 right now, there was very little he could do for the Wei family...
Forget it, if I can’t help, then I can’t help.
For himself, it would be enough as long as he could preserve his strength in the storm and kill Xiao Feng as planned.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian finally gave orders to Wang Er.
"Let's put the Freemasonry matter aside for now. Don't recruit any new members. At the same time, slowly withdraw the brothers from Chunshen Bookstore and try to keep Li Yang's side as clean as possible."
"Tell Li Kan that the Dali Temple should not take sides and should remain neutral."
"Xuantianhui and Liufu should send more people. It would be best if we could find a few spies to sneak in."
"The little girl named Liu Yingying from Houqiu Village and her grandfather must be watched to death... Forget it, just catch them back for me!"
“…”
After issuing several orders in succession, 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 and trying to chase away the big hen that had flown 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 turned into the appearance of a gentle woman.
Looking at this scene, Wei Changtian suddenly felt that this was pretty good.
There are women, relatives, and pets.
No worries about food and clothing, peace and harmony.
well……
Touching the slightly hot jade piece on his waist, he withdrew his gaze and gently closed the wooden window.
