Chapter 814: A Hero's Failure to Pass the Beauty
In the eastern suburbs of the capital, there is a small mountain range with winding terrain, and the Zhao family’s ancestral tomb is located halfway up a peak in this small mountain range.
In fact, the Zhao family bought the entire mountain range here.
At the foot of this small mountain range, there is a river ditch that is no more than half a meter wide. Only in front of the mountain where the Zhao family's ancestral tomb is located, it converges into a small lake of about two or three acres.
The reason why the Zhao family's ancestral tomb was chosen here is because of its terrain, with mountains behind and water in front, where water flows and wealth gathers.
Many noble families in the capital believed that the Zhao family could be so prosperous because of their ancestors' feng shui.
In the past, many people also thought about plotting to take over the Zhao family’s ancestral tomb, but this was undoubtedly a crazy thing to do.
The final result was that all those who plotted against the Zhao family's ancestral tombs were completely wiped out. The most amazing thing was that these people's complete annihilation was not caused by anyone from the Zhao family.
As time went by, no one coveted the Zhao family's ancestral tomb anymore. Of course, there were still people who wanted to make money from the Zhao family.
As long as those who took money from the Zhao family didn't go too far, there would basically be no problems. But if they went beyond a certain limit, then 99% of the time, something would happen, and if it was a real accident, it would still not be the work of the Zhao family.
As these strange things happened one after another, the Zhao family gradually became a little mysterious.
Therefore, although the Zhao family was as wealthy as a nation, even the imperial court would not easily take ruthless action against them. Because no one dared to risk their own life to make such a move.
We should learn from the past experience, where so many people died and so many families were destroyed. If we still rush in headfirst, it would really be a matter of money rather than life.
Fubao came to the foot of the Zhao family's ancestral tomb. After just one glance, he felt that something was wrong with this place.
In the Biyou Palace, she learned a lot about formations.
The location of the Zhao family's ancestral tomb is clearly a formation.
Gather wealth in an unpredictable formation!
According to the theory of formations, if the ancestors are buried in the Wealth-Gathering Wuwang Formation, their descendants will have a lot of wealth. Moreover, if someone is protected by the Wealth-Gathering Wuwang Formation because of financial schemes, he will inevitably suffer from unexpected disasters, which may include death at the very least and the extinction of the entire family at the worst.
When she saw the Wealth-Gathering Formation, Fubao was still wondering how there could be such a formation in the world. But at this moment, the Wealth-Gathering Formation actually appeared before her eyes.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Fubao suddenly standing still, Lichun couldn't help but ask softly.
"Oh, nothing to watch, I just suddenly thought of something!"
Fubao smiled and pointed to the road leading up the mountain. "Sister Lichun, do you want to go up with me, or wait for me here?"
"Miss, I'll go up with you!"
This place was at the foot of the Zhao family's ancestral tomb. Although Lichun didn't believe in the existence of gods and ghosts, he still felt a little uneasy. At this time, he had to stay with his young lady, otherwise, if there was any disturbance, he would definitely be scared.
At that moment, Fubao and Lichun walked towards the mountain.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance of the Zhao family's ancestral cemetery, and there were people guarding it.
"Little girl, this is the Zhao family's ancestral cemetery. It's not the place for you to be. Please go back!"
The man guarding the cemetery is an old man who looks to be in his sixties or seventies.
"Father-in-law, I'm here to pay my respects to my great-grandfather. My last name is Xu!"
Fubao bowed politely to his father-in-law.
When the old man heard what Fubao said and that her surname was Xu, his eyes immediately lit up and he opened the gate of the cemetery.
"The eldest and second masters have built their houses in front of the old master's grave. Come in quickly, young lady!"
"thank you!"
Fubao bowed again and took Lichun into the cemetery.
The Zhao family has a long history, and countless members of the Zhao family are buried in this cemetery.
Of course, all those buried here are members of the Zhao clan, whether they are the main family or branches, they are all buried here in the end, but in different areas.
The burial location of the main branch of the Zhao family was clearly in the center, which according to Feng Shui was considered the best feng shui site. However, the burial locations of the other members of the Zhao family were slightly worse.
Fubao entered the cemetery and quickly found the thatched hut.
The so-called "living in a hut" actually means building a thatched house in front of the grave.
The appearance of Fubao was unexpected and surprising to both Zhao Bingjun and Zhao Bingzhao.
After Fubao kowtowed to Mr. Zhao, lit incense and candles, and burned paper money, he started chatting with Zhao Bingjun and Zhao Bingzhao.
As for what Fubao had done in the past ten years, she naturally couldn't tell anyone.
Sin, gods, these are things that are very far away from the secular world.
To be more precise, in today's Tang Dynasty, few people believe that gods really exist. In this world, gods have become the stuff of legends.
Even if it is a legend, few people believe it.
As for legends, they are definitely hearsay.
"Uncle, uncle, I heard from Sister Lichun that my nephew is getting together with the princess of the Frost Spirit Clan. What's going on?"
"Xiao Fubao, didn't your father tell you?"
When Zhao Bingzhao heard Fubao's question, he immediately asked her a question in return.
Fubao shook his head and said, "I just came back. There was a wedding going on at home. Erbao was getting married. If I showed up at this time, wouldn't I steal the limelight from Erbao and his wife? Erbao won't blame me, but Erbao's wife may not be the same."
"As for me, I don't want to be annoying, so I haven't met my father and mother yet!"
This matter must be made clear.
Otherwise, I won’t let my uncle worry too much.
"well!"
After listening to Fubao's explanation, Zhao Bingzhao sighed, "Speaking of which, this matter is all due to the uselessness of us elders!"
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Fubao heard what his uncle said, he understood that this matter was probably not simple.
It seems that Dabao and the princess of the Frost Spirit Clan are not just in love with each other. There may be something going on that Lichun doesn't know.
"It's getting colder since you left!"
"Winter is coming earlier and earlier, and spring is coming later and later. Have you ever seen the weather warm up in April and May? And just a few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it starts snowing?"
“……?!”
Hearing these words, Fubao was completely dumbfounded.
Isn’t the impact of this little ice age too brutal?
"Your dad said this is some kind of Little Ice Age!"
"But the Frost Spirits believed that their Ice and Snow God was angry."
"Furthermore, they also said that if the two tribes marry, they will pray to the God of Ice and Snow to save the Tang Dynasty from suffering from this cold winter."
"So, Dabao really became a live-in son-in-law?"
Fubao was shocked by this situation.
After all this fuss, this is indeed the truth.
Although Lichun didn't know the truth, she explained the outcome of the matter clearly.
"Yes, the princess of the Frost Spirit Tribe, just like the prince of our Tang Dynasty, is qualified to become the empress of the Frost Spirit Tribe."
"Dabao went to the Frost Spirit Tribe, and his contact with us was cut off."
"Now, we don't know how Dabao is doing in the Frost Spirit Tribe."
"Don't blame your father for this matter. This is a decision made by all of us together."
Zhao Bingjun suddenly spoke up, also letting out a long sigh. "Originally, we didn't believe what the Frost Spirits said. But when the Frost Spirit princess prayed and made winter come at its normal time that year, we had no choice but to believe it."
"There really are gods in this world!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Bingjun was sad and angry.
After Dabao left with the princess of the Frost Spirit Clan, they began to look through all the inherited books and pray to the legendary gods, asking them to protect their descendants.
Sadly, there was no response at all.
This made Zhao Bingjun and others despair. Even Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu, who were always fearless, felt despair.
Because, at this moment, they are not facing a Frost Spirit, but a god.
Although they didn't know what kind of god this God of Ice and Snow was, it was this god who caused the unpredictable weather and gave the Frost Spirits a body that was not afraid of the severe cold.
When ice and snow covered the earth and crops in the Tang Dynasty were difficult to harvest, the Frost Spirit people were able to obtain large quantities of fish for food from the cold lakes, rivers and seas.
In addition, the Frost Spirits delayed the arrival of the cold winter in the Tang Dynasty by praying to their god of ice and snow. They also put forward their conditions, which was that the Tang Dynasty needed to provide the Frost Spirits with a certain amount of food and meat every year.
Otherwise, war will break out between the two sides.
Once a war breaks out, the coldness of the Frost Spirit's God of Ice and Snow will arrive, causing the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers to plummet. If it were not for the existence of firearms, the Tang Dynasty would have been completely swallowed up by the Frost Spirit by now.
As for Dabao who went to the Frost Spirit people, no news has been sent back so far.
The only thing that is certain is that Dabao is still alive.
"Xiao Fubao, tell me, how can there be such a thing as God in this world?"
Zhao Bingjun was very sad and angry.
Although the two brothers were not very nice to the three brothers including Boss Xu, and had average feelings towards their children, this matter still made Zhao Bingjun and Zhao Bingzhao feel aggrieved.
Because this scene reminded them of what happened in the past.
When the Grand Princess and those people in the court persecuted Fubao's grandmother, they were as powerless as they are now.
They also wanted to fight the Frost Spirits, but they really couldn't win because the gap was too big.
The firearms left by Fubao were very powerful, but the weather was too cold. The soldiers were shivering with cold after holding the cold guns for a short while, and they could hardly hold their guns.
If you go deep into the north, the cold can freeze people to death, just like an ice sculpture. The slightest touch will break the person.
Under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to compromise.
To put it bluntly, you can't win and deserve to be bullied.
"It's too bullying, it's really too bullying!"
After knowing the truth, Fubao wanted to rush to the Frost Spirit people's territory immediately to rescue her eldest nephew.
But that's the problem.
Her immortal master had said long ago that the God of Ice and Snow was still alive.
Fu Bao wasn't afraid of the Ice and Snow God, but the problem was, she didn't even know where he was. If she could find his location, Fu Bao could unleash her sacred puppet and crush the severely injured Ice and Snow God into icy slag.
If he cannot find the other party's location, then when he starts to retaliate, the entire Tang Dynasty will probably be covered with ice and snow, and it will turn into a cold winter all year round.
"Xiao Fubao, don't be too angry."
"Under the current circumstances, this is all we can do for now."
"Come to think of it, Dabao isn't really at a disadvantage. The Holy Maiden of the Frost Spirit Tribe is as beautiful as a fairy."
"Just judging by appearance, Dabao's marriage to the princess of the Frost Spirit Clan is definitely a blessing earned through several lifetimes of cultivation!"
Seeing Fubao stamping his feet in anger, Zhao Bingzhao laughed and said something to tease Fubao.
"Uncle, it's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to joke!"
Fu Bao glared at his uncle and said, "Uncle, since the Frost Spirits know that their god is still alive, why would they want to make peace with us?"
"Of course it's because we are not easy to bully!"
Zhao Bingzhao is still very confident on this point.
"Uncle, I don't think things are that simple!"
Fubao didn't think that the Frost Spirit people would show mercy to them because of this. There must be some other special reason.
Unfortunately, even if she racked her brains, she couldn't guess the truth.
So, what is the truth?
"Bao, if you don't think it's because of this, then what could it be?"
Hearing Fubao's words, Zhao Bingjun and Zhao Bingzhao looked over at the same time, ready to listen to Fubao's profound remarks.
"Do you think it's because the Frost Spirits don't really want to fight, but they have to?"
No one likes war.
This is the understanding of blessings.
Unfortunately, however, as soon as Fubao's reason was stated, it was rejected by Zhao Bingzhao.
"Bao, you don't know this!"
Zhao Bingzhao sighed, "I actually think that among the Frost Spirit people, some people really want to fight to the death with our Tang Dynasty!"
"At that time, the princess of the Frost Spirit Tribe visited the Tang Dynasty. The people around her tried several times to start a war between the two countries."
"If it weren't for this princess's decisive action, killing all those clansmen who wanted to provoke war, and waiting for them to cause a big disturbance in the capital, the relationship between the two countries would only get worse and worse, until one day, one of the two countries would completely fall!"
As for which side will fall?
After a rigorous discussion between Mr. Xu and the people around him, they finally concluded that the Tang Dynasty had no chance of winning.
The cold winter created by the God of Ice and Snow alone was enough to make the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suffer.
The harm caused by cold is really too great.
"In fact, Dabao's chance encounter with the princess was also our plan."
Zhao Bingjun sighed again, "However, Dabao was willing to marry this princess of the Frost Spirit Clan, but it was his own will!"
Fu Bao rolled his eyes and said, "So, this is a case of a hero being tempted by a beautiful woman?"
