"Become a big stick in my hand?" Yan Yuntian smiled at first, and then suddenly stood up as if he had thought of something. He was so excited that he almost threw the woman to the ground.
The woman thought that Yan Yuntian was angry again and couldn't help but feel a little worried. However, before she could say anything, she saw Yan Yuntian frowning and pacing back and forth in the study room, as if he was thinking about something important.
"Your Majesty, you …!"
Before her voice died away, Yan Yuntian waved his hand, motioning her not to speak and not to interrupt his thinking.
He paced back and forth in the Upper Study for a while, and suddenly stopped. "Xian 'er, what do you think will happen if I let this guy go to Taiyuan Heaven?"
"Taiyuan Heaven?!" The woman called Xian 'er changed her expression and looked at Yan Yuntian in astonishment. "You let him go to Taiyuan Heaven? If you give him the Taiyuan Token, you can't control him now. If he goes to Taiyuan Heaven and his strength increases greatly, you won't be able to control him then! "" Hehe, I can't control him now.
Moreover, his current status is very special. He has the combat capability close to the Mysterious Realm. He is almost invincible under the Mysterious Realm. However, because his cultivation has not reached the Mysterious Realm, he can't be listed as an immortal, so he is not controlled by the Law of Heaven. This is the most troublesome thing. If there is a way to greatly increase his strength, break through the Mysterious Realm and jump out of the Three Realms, then the Law of Heaven can control him. At that time, as long as we don't provoke him, he can't make trouble for me. At worst, I'll give him the entire northwest region. Anyway, he will marry Fei 'er, so we won't lose too much. It's better than him stirring up trouble everywhere like a shit-stirring stick! "
"I understand Your Majesty's meaning. Since we can't stop him, we should give him a push. The sooner he enters the Mysterious Realm, the sooner we can have one less trouble!"
"Exactly!" Yan Yuntian nodded and said, "Although the current situation is somewhat helpless and shameful, we have to admit that we can't control him. In this case, it's better to go with the flow. Anyway, Zhou Bao is a citizen of the Jin. Even if he establishes a country in the northwest in the future, he will still be a citizen of our region. This is a sure thing. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise and brilliant. Xian 'er admires you. This method is indeed feasible. Moreover, he is so powerful. He should be able to gain great benefits in Taiyuan Heaven and deter others. In a word, he has become Your Majesty's stick!"
"Hahahaha!!" Hearing this, Yan Yuntian burst into a hearty laughter. It was as if the depression and haze of the past ten days had all flowed away in this laughter.
"Not bad, not bad. In this way, he will become my stick. And if he really gains some benefits, he will also come to thank me. Killing two birds with one stone!"
"Your Majesty, your abacus is getting better and better. I think in the future, you should change your name to Golden Abacus!" Xian 'er giggled. She was also very happy to see Yan Yuntian untied the knot in his heart.
"By the way, Your Majesty, marrying Fei 'er to Zhou Bao is not a big deal. But it seems that the Third Prince of the Li Dynasty …"
"Humph, this is not my problem. If he didn't want to get more chips to suppress me after the Taiyuan Heaven, he would have proposed to Fei 'er earlier. Otherwise, this would not have happened. If he has any dissatisfaction now, let him go to Zhou Bao to reason with him. I'll see if he has the ability to do so!"
"That's true. The thing between Fei 'er and him was just a talk. It has not been settled. Now that Zhou Bao has beaten them to it, they can only blame themselves for having too many ideas!" Xian 'er nodded and said, "And I also think that Zhou Bao should be more reliable than the Third Prince. Although the Third Prince's mother's family is powerful, she is an outsider after all. How can she be compared with Zhou Bao?"
"Yeah, even if this thing didn't happen, I was going to find a way to refuse this marriage. Now it's all right. Zhou Bao intervened. Although he's a bastard, he has solved a big problem for me!" "That's right. Yan Yuntian stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Everything is predetermined. There are gains and losses. This is also God's will. Now that things have come to this, we might as well push the boat along with the current. Maybe, there will be unexpected gains.
… …
… …
Time passed like running water.
The second year of Yongping in the Great Jin quietly passed in a hustle and bustle. A heavy snow fell, and Yunzhou of the Great Jin had been completely covered by the snow. It was very enchanting.
Qingyang Market in Yunzhou!
This small town that could not be found on the map had now become a bustling small county town. It had been expanded twice in a year, and the new Zhou family's mansion had also been expanded thrice. It now occupied a quarter of the county town's area, but no one dared to say a word of objection.
Now, the Zhou's were relatives of the emperor!
For people in the martial arts world, Zhou Bao was now one of the few experts in the world. But for ordinary people, he was not as good as the emperor's relatives.
Now, the most talked about thing in Qingyang Market was the incomparably grand wedding that took place before the New Year. Zhou Bao, the fourth son of the Zhou family, married the beloved daughter of the current emperor, Princess Qingyang.
The people in this small mountain had never seen such a scene. The whole process was like a dream. Although more than a month had passed, everyone had not stopped talking about the wedding and envied the Zhou's.
"The Zhou's are rich this time. I really didn't expect that Old Zhou could have such a capable son!"
"The position of the Zhou's ancestral grave is similar to that of my family. How can it be so green?"
People who were familiar with the Zhou's were all sighing. They all felt that their family was not much different from the Zhou's. Why did the Zhou's suddenly become rich?
No matter where others were envious and talking about it.
At this time, in the Zhou's mansion, the whole Zhou's had finally gathered together.
Sitting in the head seat was naturally Old Zhou. This old man was a little older than before, but at the same time he was a lot more stout. He was smiling as if there were endless happy things waiting for him.
Zhou Bao and Yan Yunfei sat next to him, followed by the eldest son and the eldest wife, the second son and his wife, the third son and his wife, and then Zhou Bao's sister, Zhou Hua 'er, and Zhou Bao's brother-in-law, Wang Tianlei.
"Little Si 'er, you just got married, and now you're going out again!"
Sitting next to Old Zhou, Mrs. Zhou looked unhappy because Zhou Bao, who had just been married for more than a month and lived at home for more than a month, was going to leave again.
"Mother, I'm going to the northwest to see how things are going there. Now that the trade route is open, there are more people and more things to do. There are some things that Jiang Xiao can't decide, so I have to deal with them personally!" Zhou Bao said with a smile, "Also, I have to find a good place to build a house and let you two move there!"
"Move? Why should we move? Isn't Qingyang Market good? We are all from the same village, so we can take care of each other. I've heard about your place. It's very desolate. There's not even a shadow of a person, and it's very cold. Your father and I are old and can't stand the cold! "
Zhou Bao gave a hollow laugh and said, "Mother, you're too much. When we get there, do you think I'll let you two freeze? Don't worry, even if you don't live there for a long time, you have to go there often. That is my fief and also the fief of our Zhou family. You are all ancestors there! "
"Yes, Little Si 'er is right. That is the fief of our Zhou family. Even if I can't get out of bed, you have to carry me there to see it, not to mention that I'm still strong and healthy now!" Old Zhou banged his tobacco pipe on the table and glared at Madam Zhou. "You're just an ignorant woman. Don't talk nonsense!" Madam Zhou snorted coldly. "You don't know anything.
Mrs. Zhou didn't buy it. She glared back, but then she glanced at Yan Yunfei, who was standing beside Zhou Bao, and didn't scold back.
To be honest, she had been living a very strange life these years. She had lived for most of her life, but she never thought that her son would marry a princess. When she thought of Yan Yunfei's identity as a princess, she felt uncomfortable all over. It was not that she was dissatisfied. In fact, Yan Yunfei was beautiful, gentle, and considerate. She was very satisfied with her. However, when she thought of her identity as a princess, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel ashamed. In front of Yan Yunfei, she couldn't put on the airs of a mother-in-law. When they met, it was as if they were in different positions. It was always awkward.
Not only did she feel this way, but Old Zhou also felt the same way. This embarrassing situation also made Zhou Bao feel uncomfortable. In fact, when he got along with the Zhou family, except for Zhou Hua 'er and her husband, he did not feel very close to the others. This was also the reason why he wanted to take Yan Fei-er away.
However, Madam Zhou still couldn't bear to part with her most promising son. All these years, Zhou Bao had always been outside and rarely returned home. Now that he finally married a wife and came home to live, he had to leave after only a short time. She always felt empty in her heart.
"Mother, Little Si is now an official appointed by the imperial court. He has a lot of things to do. You can't always keep him at home!" At this time, Wang Tianlei said, "Now that he has a fief, he can be regarded as a feudal vassal. The imperial court has decreed that someone with his identity can't leave his fief. This time, he can stay at home for so long, which is already a favor from His Majesty. If he doesn't go back, maybe His Majesty will punish him!"
"Ah, is there such a thing? Isn't Little Si the son-in-law of His Majesty? His Majesty will punish him! "Mrs. Zhou was very confused.
"Mother, even if he is the son of His Majesty, he will still be punished if he disobeys the imperial decree, let alone His Majesty's son-in-law!" Zhou Bao cast a grateful look at Wang Tianlei and followed the meaning of his words.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the soft flesh on his waist being ruthlessly pinched by Yan Yunfei's slender fingers and turned 360 degrees. When he turned his head, he saw Yan Yunfei glaring at him with a reproachful expression.
Smiling and giving her a comforting look, Zhou Bao continued, "Mother, in fact, this place is not far from our family's fief. In two months, at the beginning of spring, I will pick you up and take a walk there. Although it is desolate, the scenery is not bad!"
"But —!"
"You old woman, what do you know? Our Fourth Hound is going to do great things. It's not good to stay at home all the time!" Old Zhou seemed to feel that his authority had been damaged, so he shouted and set the tone.
Mrs. Zhou gave Old Zhou a hard look and didn't say anything. She just looked at Zhou Bao with a reluctant look that Zhou Bao couldn't bear.
… …
… …
"You are really something. Since I asked you to stay for a few more days, you should stay for a few more days. What's the big deal? Do you think my father will really blame you?" After returning to her yard, Yan Yunfei couldn't help but complain about Zhou Bao. "Why do you put everything on my father? Aren't you afraid that he will blame you?"
"The old man has already blamed those who should be blamed, he won't blame anyone else!" Zhou Bao laughed. Seeing that no one was around, he hugged Yan Yunfei and kissed her hard on the face.
"In broad daylight, in broad daylight, you are so annoying!"
Zhou Bao's face was wet. When he was about to take the next step, his expression suddenly changed and he stopped what he was doing.
"Which friend has come to visit? Is it because I am not a good host that you don't want to come out? "
"Ah —!" Hearing Zhou Bao's words, Yan Yunfei's face turned red. She pushed Zhou Bao away and lowered her head to tidy up her dress.
"Yunzhou Bao, you really deserve your reputation!"
Along with the voice, something strange happened. A wisp of smoke rose and slowly converged into a figure. It was a middle-aged scholar in a gray robe with a gloomy face. "Mo Yinyang from the Dali Kingdom in the East Sea greets you, Mr. Zhou!"
"The Dali Kingdom in the East Sea?" Zhou Bao was slightly stunned and very surprised.
He knew about the Dali Kingdom, which was on another continent far away from the sea. Its national power was not inferior to that of the Jin. It was the overlord of that continent. However, it was also very far away from the Jin, separated by hundreds of thousands of miles of sea. Needless to say, it was very difficult for a Level Nine expert to cross the boundless sea, not to mention that it was impossible for an ordinary ship to pass through the boundless sea.
The sea was much larger than the continent. There were all kinds of evil beasts and exotic beasts living in the sea. On some islands, there were some people who practiced the Evil Spirit. It was said that a tribe of the Demon tribe, which had been wiped out by human beings hundreds of thousands of years ago, had drifted to the sea and reproduced on the islands. After hundreds of thousands of years of development, it had become a powerful force.
And the Dali Kingdom itself had no connection with the Jin Kingdom before.
In fact, 99% of the people in the Jin Kingdom did not know about the existence of the Dali Kingdom because it was too far away. There had been no official communication since ancient times. The reason why Zhou Bao knew about the Dali Kingdom was because he had obtained the treasures of the Cool Breeze Gang from an ancient book. At that time, he just regarded it as a wild story and put it aside after reading it. He did not expect that a person from the Dali Kingdom would appear in front of him and know about him. Most importantly, this person's cultivation was extremely strong. He had reached Level Eight, and he was giving off a very mysterious spirit, which made Zhou Bao feel very dangerous.
"I didn't expect that the Dali Kingdom in the East Sea really exists!" Zhou Bao nodded slightly and winked at Yan Yunfei, indicating her to go back.
Yan Yunfei nodded obediently, turned back to her room, and gently closed the door.
"The Dali Kingdom in the East Sea has existed for a long time. It's just that we are too far away from each other to communicate with each other. So not many people know about it!" Mo Yinyang smiled.
"This guy seems to be practicing his Obscuring Dust Technique, which is the orthodox inheritance of the Jade Toad Sect of the Ancient Dark Sect. His cultivation is not bad. You have to be careful. The Ancient Dark Sect's methods are very mysterious. Don't be tricked by him!" Green Spirit suddenly sent a thought to Zhou Bao, reminding him to be careful.
Zhou Bao kept it in mind and said with a smile, "Indeed, not many people know about the Dali Kingdom in the East Sea. The Dali Kingdom is hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Jin Kingdom. I wonder what brings you here, Brother Mo?"
"I'm here mainly for Mr. Zhou!" Mo Yinyang said with a smile. "This time, the Third Prince of the Dali Kingdom has sent experts to assassinate you. So I'm here to warn you!"
"The Third Prince of the Dali Kingdom?" Zhou Bao blinked his eyes, feeling somewhat baffled. "He came to assassinate me? Why did he come to assassinate me?"
It was no wonder that he felt strange. The Li Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles of sea. They had nothing to do with each other. No matter how arrogant he was in the Jin Kingdom, it had nothing to do with the Li Dynasty. Why would a prince send someone to assassinate him?
"It's all because of Princess Qingyang!" Mo Yinyang said with a smile, "Maybe you don't know this. In fact, the Third Prince of the Dali Kingdom has long been interested in Princess Qingyang of the Jin Kingdom, your wife. He was about to send someone to propose marriage after the Spring Festival. Unexpectedly, Your Excellency beat him to it. According to his character, he has already given you face by not rushing to the Jin Kingdom to make trouble for you."
"Humph, who does he think he is? Do I need him to give me face?" Zhou Bao sneered. With his current strength, he even dared to break into a thousand-year-old school like the Mingyi School. He really didn't care about a prince, let alone a prince who had beaten his wife. At the thought of this, Zhou Bao had the intention to trample on his face.
He and Yan Yunfei had been married for more than a month. It could be said that they were in perfect harmony. Although Yan Yunfei was a princess, she was not arrogant and willful. She was obedient to Zhou Bao, unlike Yan Yunyan, who was beautiful but gave Zhou Bao a sense of distrust. He always felt that Yan Yunyan was calculating something inexplicable all day long.
To put it bluntly, she was a little girl who was still in the stage of fantasy. She was easy to deal with. Although this was an arranged marriage, after a month of getting along with her, the affection between them seemed to have begun to build up bit by bit. Zhou Bao was very satisfied with this. Now, when he heard that the Third Prince was interested in his wife, how could he not be angry?
"The Li Dynasty is different from the Jin Kingdom. The Li Dynasty is the most powerful dynasty in the East Sea. It has been established for more than 8,000 years. Its strength is incomparably strong, much stronger than the royal family of the Jin, even stronger than those famous schools and schools of the Jin. All the princes of the Jin Kingdom are experts. In the Jin Kingdom, experts under the age of 20 are already outstanding. But in the Li Dynasty, all the 18 adult princes reached the Expert Realm before the age of 20!"
"So what?" Zhou Bao sneered. "Is it great to reach the Expert Realm before the age of 20? To put it bluntly, the Li Dynasty is just a super school that controls the world. Do you think such a force can threaten me? "
"Your Excellency, you misunderstood me. I'm not threatening you. I'm just reminding you!" A helpless smile flashed across Mo Yinyang's gloomy face. "This time, it's not only the assassins sent by the Third Prince from the Li Dynasty, but also Ye Qingtian, the number one expert of the young generation in the Li Dynasty. He has just turned 20 this year, and his cultivation has already reached the peak of Level Nine. He also has a Pure Yang Celestial Device, and his combat capability is also far beyond Level Nine. This time, I'm afraid he's here to meet you!"
Zhou Bao's expression became more and more strange. He knew that he was famous now, but it was only in the Jin Kingdom. Even if it was a little farther, it could spread to the edge of the continent. How could it be spread to the Li Dynasty, which was hundreds of thousands of miles away in the Sea Area?
Most importantly, he heard a trace of mystery from the last sentence of Mo Yinyang.
His combat capability was also far beyond Level Nine!
His combat capability was far beyond Level Nine, and so was Ye Qingtian's!
However, the fact that his combat capability was far beyond Level Nine was only known to the world more than a month ago when he challenged the Mingyi School alone. Before that, others only knew that his strength was close to Level Nine.
But Mo Yinyang's words clearly meant that Ye Qingtian heard that Zhou Bao also had a combat capability far beyond Level Nine, so he wanted to meet him!
It had only been a little more than a month, less than two months. How could it have spread to the Li Dynasty?
Even with Zhou Bao's speed, he could not reach the Li Dynasty even if he flew with Gang Qi and the Dragon Flying Technique without rest. There was no telephone or telegraph in this world. How could the news spread so fast? "Is this guy messing with me?"
Looking at Zhou Bao's puzzled expression, Mo Yinyang finally smiled. Of course, the smile was only in his heart, not on his face. However, the smile that flashed in his eyes could not be hidden from Zhou Bao's eyes.
"There must be a conspiracy!"
This thought flashed through Zhou Bao's mind.
"Actually, it's very simple. Although there is no communication between the Jin and the Li Dynasty, there is communication between the top leaders of the two continents!" Mo Yinyang smiled and said, "When your cultivation reaches Level Seven and you become an expert, you will have the opportunity to get in touch with some secrets of this continent and some things about the Mysterious Realm. But Your Excellency is too young and your cultivation is growing too fast. Besides, you don't really belong to any big sect, so you may not know these things for the time being!"
"Another old guy pretending to be mysterious!" Zhou Bao muttered coldly, "What I should know and what I shouldn't know is my business. It seems that it's not your turn to teach me!"
"Of course. I'm not here to teach Your Excellency, nor to threaten Your Excellency. I'm here to make a deal with Your Excellency!"
"A deal?" Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, "What kind of deal do you want to make?"
