"I've finally caught it."
A man in a short-sleeved shirt held one end of the string and quickly climbed up a giant tree. He untied the string and took down the kite.
"The girls are still waiting over there. Let's go back."
The man jumped down from the tree and waved at the two people chasing him. His expression was a bit gloomy. He was supposed to protect the two girls, but he didn't expect to chase the kite for several miles. It was not as interesting as watching the competition at the brothel.
On a grassy slope, Wan Ruoqing asked Zeng Zuimo in confusion, "Didn't you say before that you would never come to the capital in this life?"
"The past is the past. For us, what's the difference between the capital and Qing 'an Prefecture?" The kite flew away, and Zeng Zuimo was a bit dispirited. She looked at the faintly discernible walls of the capital and asked, "You've been here for a few days. Have you seen him?"
"Not yet …" Wan Ruoqing smiled and shook her head. "He's been busy these days."
"He's been busy." Zeng Zuimo's tone was sour. "A thirty-year-old county uncle who defeated the people of the Qi Kingdom in two competitions. He's a national hero. Even these brothels are things he does when he's bored. In the future, the distance between us and him will only grow further and further …"
Wan Ruoqing smiled and saw a few men walking over from not far away. They were holding the kite that had just flown away. They turned to her and said, "Aren't you going to fly a kite? Remember to tie the line this time."
Zeng Zuimo waved her hand. "Forget it. I'm a bit tired from running and suddenly don't want to play anymore. Let's go back."
Seeing her walk back the way she came, Wan Ruoqing shook her head. She said something to the people behind her and helplessly followed.
In the courtyard of a minister's residence.
"Great Emissary, was that the Empress just now?"
"The Empress really did show herself!"
"Yes, it must be. The Empress specially sent down a miracle because of our sincerity!"
… …
… …
The purple-clothed man's eyes flickered as he looked at the excited and fanatical believers below.
That mystical scene just now had given him too much of a shock. Even now, it was still stuck in his mind, unable to be erased. Could it be that the one standing in the clouds just now was really the Empress?
Whether or not it was the Empress, the scene just now was undoubtedly a great help to their great cause. Those believers who were not devout enough and had doubts in their hearts had all become fanatical believers at this moment.
The purple-clothed man's eyes flashed several times and his face became solemn once more. Looking at the crowd below, he slowly said, "That's right, what you saw just now was the true body of the Heavenly Empress. This is a miracle that the Heavenly Empress specially sent down to encourage you. In the future, you must sincerely worship the Heavenly Empress. If there is a chance, you may see the Heavenly Empress appear again."
After learning the "truth" from the messenger, the crowd that had quietened down immediately burst into cheers again.
Everyone saw this incredible scene with their own eyes. The Heavenly Empress stood on the clouds and looked at them. In the future, what Buddhas and immortals were there to worship? Could those Buddhas and immortals appear in front of so many people like the Heavenly Empress?
"I am guilty!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd knelt down and loudly wailed, "I actually doubted the Heavenly Empress just now. I ask the Empress to forgive me!"
Putong!
After he knelt down, another ten people immediately knelt down and repented for doubting the Heavenly Empress. They constantly kowtowed until blood seeped out of their foreheads.
The purple-clothed man walked down from the high platform. With a face full of compassion, he said, "You do not need to be like this. The Empress is merciful and will not blame you for this. As long as you wholeheartedly work for the Holy Religion in the future, even your past karma will be eliminated by the Empress …"
Not long after, everyone with extremely pious expressions walked out of the courtyard and gradually disappeared into the surroundings of the house.
In the courtyard, the purple-clothed man looked at the two servants and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the Empress now? There has been a change in the situation. I must immediately report to the Empress …"
…
…
"What?"
Li Yi looked at Li Xuan, who couldn't help but laugh. He asked, "What did you say? Qin Yu was beaten up? He even dared to beat Prime Minister Qin's grandson. Just who has the guts to do so? "
Li Xuan's guards stood at the back and looked at the two with a strange expression. All the people in the capital who had beaten up Duke Qin were standing here. You still have the nerve to ask who had the guts to do so?
"No … I don't know …" Li Xuan had been laughing since the beginning. As he laughed, he said, "I heard that he was molesting on the street and was seen by a passing knight. He didn't know his identity and only thought that he was an ordinary hedonistic son of a rich family. He ruthlessly taught him a lesson on the street. I heard from the imperial physician that Qin Yu had several broken ribs. His injuries were even worse than the King of Shu's. If he doesn't rest at home for a few months, he won't be able to get out of bed."
"What about that hero?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"The officials searched crazily but still couldn't find him. He was just a passing knight. Even if he left his name and left the capital, how could he be caught?" Li Xuan calmed down a little and said, "I'm afraid that Qin Yu's beating will be in vain."
Li Yi nodded and said, "That hero did a good job. I still don't know his name. I have to ask around. How can one not be famous when doing good deeds …"
After Li Xuan had laughed enough, he put the matter of Qin Yu to the back of his mind. He said, "The Third Prince of the Qi Kingdom has left, but the wushu examination will still be held. The date has been chosen. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"I'll see. I don't understand things like battle formations. I don't know much about the Six Stratagems, the Three Stratagems, and Sun Tzu's Art of War." Li Yi thought for a while and said, "I heard that there will be a martial arts competition between the experts of the Qi Kingdom. It should be interesting. When will the competition be held?"
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "What Six Stratagems, Three Stratagems, and Sun Tzu's Art of War? What are you talking about?"
"Are you sure you've learned the art of war?" Li Yi looked at him and asked curiously, "You didn't learn the art of war from a scholar, did you?"
Not to mention the first two, he hadn't even heard of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Li Yi was willing to bet that if Li Xuan hadn't skipped classes, he would have taken his surname …
"My art of war was taught by General Xue." Li Xuan looked at him and said seriously, "Now tell me, what are the Six Stratagems, Three Stratagems, and Sun Tzu's Art of War?"
Looking at Li Xuan's expression, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat. He finally realized something.
"Damn it, I was careless …"
A look of astonishment appeared on Li Yi's face. He said, "What Three Stratagems, Six Stratagems? What are you talking about? I don't understand …"
He stood up from the chair and shouted toward the door, "Xiao Huan, see the guest out!"
