Sheng Liyuan was choked and couldn't say a word. His face flushed for a long time before he spoke again, "Comrade Zhang Meng is really straightforward, haha."
The others immediately rolled their eyes at him.
Taoist Wuxin, who was sitting nearby, saw that they had been here for so long but still hadn't gotten to the point, so he could only continue with a blushing face, "Comrade Zhang Meng, we witnessed your and Comrade Gu's abilities last time, and we all believe that you are quite capable. This time, Qingxin Temple plans to unite the five major families and travel to Country R to hold a Taoist magic competition with their people once every five years. We would like to ask Comrade Zhang Meng and Comrade Gu to come with us. What do you think?"
Zhang Meng thought about the R country and immediately thought of the harshness of that era. She immediately asked, "Can we go abroad now?"
At this moment, a woman's contemptuous voice sounded from the side, "Country people are country people. Don't you know that our five major families have special rights in this country? Let alone going abroad, even if we live abroad for a year or two, we will have no problem."
Zhang Meng looked towards the voice. It was a woman in a purple cheongsam. Seeing her adorned with jewels, Zhang Meng was now completely convinced of the power of the five major families. At this time, anyone who could dress like that, if they had no power, would have been dragged off to the bullpen by the Little Red Guards long ago.
But now, they are still sitting here with their heads held high.
Taoist Wuxin glanced at the woman who had just spoken with a hint of displeasure, but because of her family's status, he couldn't say anything. He had to continue, "Comrade Zhang Meng, we hope you can give this matter careful consideration. This matter concerns the future of our Yishushu, so please give it careful consideration."
Zhang Meng asked curiously, "Can I ask how many times China has won in the competition with Country R over the years?"
As soon as she said this, everyone present blushed.
After waiting for a while and getting no answer from them, Zhang Meng smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to tell me."
She was just curious. Sheng Liyuan laughed, lightening the mood. "Why can't I say this? Of course I can say it. It's too embarrassing to say it. We've competed with Country R for hundreds of years. In our generation, we've fought countless competitions, big and small, and no one in our generation has ever come out on top."
The woman just now suddenly snorted again, a little dissatisfied, "Old Sheng, don't let others' prestige get the better of you and destroy your own ambition, okay?"
Glancing at Sheng Liyuan, the woman continued, "It's because there aren't many capable people in our generation. If there were more, we would definitely be able to defeat the R countrymen."
Just when Zhang Meng was hesitating whether to agree to this matter, the monk Jingchen, who had been hiding in the room, suddenly came out.
When Taoist Wuxin and the others saw Jingchen coming out, they all stood up respectfully and greeted him.
"Everyone is here. What happened? Are you bullying me, your disciple's wife?" Monk Jingchen looked at everyone with a kind smile.
"No, no, we are not here to bully Comrade Zhang Meng. We are here to ask Comrade Zhang Meng for help."
The arrogant woman just now, when she saw Monk Jingchen, was like a mouse seeing a cat, and answered honestly and respectfully.
"I just heard that they are going to Country R." After saying that, Jingchen looked at Zhang Meng and said with a smile, "Girl, go with them. I, an old man, will look after you at home. You don't have to worry."
He has been noticing the girl's irritability these days. If she continues like this, this kind of mood is very taboo for people who practice cultivation. If they are not careful, they may go astray.
"Master Jingchen." Zhang Meng didn't expect that he came out just to persuade her.
"Go ahead, just treat it as a way to relax. It's not easy to go abroad at this time. Going out and seeing the world will be of great help to your current cultivation. Trust me, this old man, and go."
"Okay, I'll go." After thinking for a while, Zhang Meng finally made the decision.
When Taoist Wuxin and the others heard her answer, they all smiled happily. Everyone was thinking about this year's match with Country R. Their chances of winning finally seemed to be improving.
"By the way, where is Comrade Gu? Why haven't we seen him come out to talk in such a long time?" Taoist Wuxin looked at Zhang Meng with a smile.
"He went out on a mission." Zhang Meng replied.
"Do you know when he'll be back?"
Taoist Wuxin immediately asked anxiously, and the smile on his face faded a lot.
When he mentioned it, she began to miss the man who had been away for half a month.
Worrying about whether he is injured, whether he has eaten enough, etc.
"I don't know. Soldiers have their own military discipline. I don't know anything about their affairs."
Taoist Wuxin lowered his eyes and sighed, "Alright then, what a pity! It would be best if Comrade Gu could go with us."
Finally, when they left, they told each other the departure time. Five days later, Zhang Meng went to Qingxin Temple and took a helicopter to leave.
That night, during dinner, Zhang Meng told this incident to Grandma Zhang.
As soon as Grandma Zhang heard they were going to Country R to save face, she immediately agreed. "Meng'er, bring honor to our country and cripple them. Our country has suffered so much at their hands, you must earn our respect back."
When talking about what the R countryman had done, Grandma Zhang gritted her teeth in anger.
