Guan Tong's whole body was soaked, raindrops were rolling down his face and dripping from his hanging fingertips.
His face was a little pale and his lips were trembling, but his heart gradually calmed down.
Be patient for a moment, and you will see the flash of swords and the shadow of sabers!
At this moment, Fu Xiaoguan, who was in the car, was also entering the critical moment of meditation.
He grasped the breath flowing through his meridians!
It is something illusory and indescribable, something that should not exist, but it does exist.
He followed the formula of the Nine Yang Heart Sutra and Su Jue's advice to him, and he introduced this energy into his dantian. It was as if he "saw" mist rising from his dantian.
The clouds became thicker and thicker, and the energy in the meridians became clearer and clearer, as if it had turned into a trickle. They flowed into the Dantian and also turned into clouds and mist.
Then……
The clouds condensed into rain, as if falling from the sky, landing in the dantian, and gradually forming a small pond.
This is the materialization of internal strength, and it is also the threshold to becoming a warrior!
He was delighted and continued to practice the Nine Yang Heart Sutra. Then, under his guidance, the water in the pond flowed to the meridians throughout his body, blending with the remaining energy in the meridians and gradually becoming a little thicker.
He was so engrossed in it that he was completely oblivious to what was happening outside.
…
When Wu Linger led her thousand female soldiers to this place, she was also extremely shocked.
She looked at Guan Tong standing in the rain, but did not go forward to ask. Instead, she asked Wen Canghai, who had gotten off the carriage and stood beside her again, "Is Master Fu here?"
Wen Canghai bowed and replied, "Yes, but..." He explained the whole story in detail. Only then did Wu Linger know the truth of the matter, and her eyes became more and more cold when she looked at Guan Tong.
She dismounted and walked over, and Guan Tong quickly bowed.
Guan Tong was filled with joy, thinking that since Princess Taiping had come in person, it was impossible for this Fu Xiaoguan to put on airs in front of Her Highness.
"I have traveled dozens of miles out of the city to meet Mr. Fu, but my position is too low and my words too limited to invite this world's most talented person. Now that I am in this state, I beg Mr. Fu to take pity on my misery and accompany me to Guanyun City."
Guan Tong spoke so earnestly that he even lifted his sleeves to wipe his face.
These words were also very meaningful. Going out of the city for dozens of miles to welcome Fu Xiaoguan was certainly giving Fu Xiaoguan enough face, but Fu Xiaoguan did not give him face, which certainly meant that he did not take him, the Left Vice Minister of the Wu Dynasty, seriously, and of course he did not take Emperor Wen of the Wu Dynasty seriously.
He thought that his words would make the hot-tempered Princess Taiping angry - Princess Taiping was indeed angry, very angry!
Her eyes grew colder, and her charming face was overcast with gloom.
Guan Tong breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that Princess Taiping would slap him loudly right after that - "Pa...!" With a crisp sound, Guan Tong's head was slapped to the side, and his mouth felt sweet. A mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the rainy ground, and turned into a circle of red.
He covered his face, his eyes full of horror, and his head felt a little dizzy.
“Your Highness…!”
"Pa...!" Another slap in the face, and he woke up!
Your Highness, you are blaming me for my incompetence!
The dignified Left Vice Minister of the Wu Dynasty was groveling to a small official like Fu. This was certainly a disgrace to the Wu Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!" He lowered his head in fear, but his heart was becoming more and more happy. As long as Princess Taiping's attitude was firm enough, then Fu Xiaoguan would be in trouble immediately!
"Where did you go wrong?"
"My mistake was that I shouldn't have waited for Fu Xiaoguan here, but instead asked him to leave! I have brought disgrace upon the Wu Dynasty. Your Highness, please punish me!"
"hehe!"
Wu Linger laughed, then slapped him again with an angry look on her face, "You bastard, you don't even know where you went wrong!"
Guan Tong was confused by this guy. No, isn't that what His Highness meant?
What does Your Highness mean?
But then he knew what His Highness meant.
Wu Linger clasped her fists and bowed to Su Jue!
"Princess Wu Linger of the Wu Dynasty greets Senior Brother!"
"Your Highness is too polite. I am just a man from the martial arts world and cannot bear such courtesy from Your Highness."
Wu Ling'er smiled broadly. "I haven't heard much about the name of Senior Brother from the Taoist Academy, but I've always respected the Taoist Academy. Looking around the world, the only people who truly practice chivalry and righteousness are from the Taoist Academy... But Ling'er wanted to ask Senior Brother, has he entered the Taoist Academy?"
Wu Linger pointed at the carriage. Su Jue hesitated for a moment and said, "He hasn't yet."
Not yet. Doesn’t that mean he will enter that Taoist temple in the future?
"So... is his retreat true or false?"
"Of course it's true. My son is practicing the Nine Yang Heart Sutra from the Taoist Academy."
"Oh..." Wu Linger believed it, so she called the guards and set up a tent next to the carriage, deciding to stay there until Fu Xiaoguan woke up from his retreat.
But Guan Tong was driven out by her. "You, since he asked you to stand in the rain, you should stand in the rain and wait for him to wake up. If he still can't forgive you, go back, submit a memorial, and resign on your own."
Guan Tong was suddenly shocked. He understood the situation: His Highness came here to welcome Mr. Fu!
As His Highness, he welcomed a mere small landowner from Linjiang... This made Guan Tong unbelievable but he had to believe it.
Your Highness is fond of both literature and martial arts. Could it be that he fell in love with Fu Xiaoguan because of his poems and essays?
How is this possible?
Your Highness and Zhuo Donglai have been childhood sweethearts, and everyone in the Wu Dynasty believes they are a perfect match!
It's impossible that Your Highness would give up Zhuo Donglai for this young official Fu, right?
His heart was filled with doubts and fear, the fear coming from His Highness's last words.
In the eyes of His Highness, I, a dignified Left Vice Minister, seem not even worthy of carrying shoes for Fu Xiaoguan!
So what kind of status does this Fu Xiaoguan have in the eyes of Your Majesty?
He stood obediently in the rain, but his eyes were fixed on his feet.
He had forgotten the redness and pain on his cheek, and all he was thinking about was that he had to pass this message on to Zhuo Youxiang, the right prime minister of the Zhuo family.
…
…
Wu Linger sat under the tent, resting her chin on her hands, looking at the rain outside the tent, with a melancholy look on her face.
Even if Bei Wangchuan was injured, she had no way to catch him. She knew that even if she told this to her father, he would definitely not capture Bei Wangchuan. After all, he was a Saint-level powerhouse of the Wu Dynasty.
But that night in the Qishan Corridor, I made those bold statements to Fu Xiaoguan in a fit of rage, but now I can't fulfill them. If he wakes up, how should I face him and how should I explain to him?
So sad!
Even more sad than this spring rain!
Just when Wu Linger was daydreaming, there was a noise in the carriage. After a while, Fu Xiaoguan came down looking refreshed.
Wu Linger's eyes lit up and her face suddenly showed joy.
She had always been worried that the world-famous landlord Fu Xiaoguan was born with the appearance of a landlord - big, strong and round, but she didn't expect that he was born with the face of a scholar!
Delicate, handsome, with bright eyes and sharp eyebrows, what a handsome young man!
So, her eyes became hot, she stood up, but found that Fu Xiaoguan didn't even look at her!
Fu Xiaoguan actually looked at the sky, looking at the rain in the sky!
He opened his arms, then closed them and flew up...
