Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Zhao Changying's solicitation was also within Gu Xu's expectations.

"This junior is so grateful to King Yan," Gu Xu responded politely, "If there were not too many things beyond his control, this junior would definitely stay in Jicheng and do his best for Yan."

"Something you can't help yourself? Why can't you do it?" Zhao Changying raised her eyebrows, "Tell me about it, and I'll see if I can help you solve it."

Gu Xu pondered for a few seconds, and said: "You may not believe it if you tell me. There are some secrets hidden in me. Because of the existence of these secrets, Emperor Tianxing will try to put me to death at all costs.

"To solve this problem, I have to travel all over the world in the past year or so to find something that can help me save my life."

"Haha, it's just a little secret, there's nothing you can't believe," Zhao Changying smiled heartily, and the laughter lingered in the room, "Who doesn't point out that these young geniuses in Dahuang who practice far faster than ordinary people are child secret?

"Especially like you, who have no family background and no resources, but can reach the fourth level before the age of 20... Even if you say you are the reincarnation of a fairy, I will believe it."

Gu Xu lowered his head and drank his tea, but did not respond immediately.

As the successor of "Emperor Ziwei", although he is not the real reincarnation of the gods, he is almost the same.

After a short silence, Zhao Changying sighed a long time: "I should have known that a proud son like you must be arrogant and ambitious, if I want to lock you up in this barren and cold I guess you won't be happy to let you obediently serve the Zhao family for the rest of your life.

"Actually, I invited you here today mainly for Yan'er."

"Zhao Yan? What's wrong with her?" Hearing this, Gu Xu immediately put down his teacup and sat up straight.

"You should be clear that I'm going to die," Zhao Changying said with a slightly heavier tone, "After I die, Yan'er will take over my position, and use her shoulders to carry this unsteady foundation, which is full of enemies both internally and externally." nation.

"Since she was a child, Yan'er has never had a crush on any man except you, let alone let other men hold her arm.

"I have always believed in her perspective on people, and I also want to have someone to accompany her after I die, to care for her for me, to look after her, and to face the storm of the outside world with her.

"So, Gu Xiaoyou, I very much hope that you can become Yan'er's husband.

"After you get engaged, Dayan will do everything possible to ensure your safety and provide you with treatment equivalent to that of a direct descendant of the Zhao family. You will have no worries on the road of cultivation.

"Dayan will not restrict your personal freedom, you can go wherever you want to find your 'life-saving weapon'. As long as you live up to Yan'er.

"What do you think, Gu Xiaoyou? The conditions I give are very generous, right?"

When Gu Xu heard the word "engagement", Gu Xu's heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat.

As soon as they met, they talked about marriage. Zhao Changying's straightforward style of dealing with people really caught him off guard, but it was in line with the straightforward and straightforward temperament of northerners.

As for the fact that Zhao Yan has a crush on him, Gu Xu can also faintly sense it.

As the saying goes, there is no pure friendship between men and women.

Especially like the two of them, handsome men and beautiful women, and they are both talented monks who are one in a million.

When he was practicing in "Xianyunju", Zhao Yan would often unconsciously stare at his face in a daze; and he would often be dazzled by Zhao Yan's long white legs under the red robe.

In addition, Zhao Yan rescued him from the encirclement of Daqi officials in Jingxing, carefully applied healing medicine to him, looked for "Barrier Breaking Pill" for him, and accompanied him across the border of Daqi to the end of the world The desolate Beiming... These things may have faintly exceeded the scope of ordinary friends.

Lust is a man's nature.Especially when a beautiful girl treats him well without asking for anything in return, it is impossible for Gu Xu not to feel a little turmoil in his heart.

But Gu Xu also knows that the difference between a good man and a scumbag is not that a good man has no lust at all, but that his sense of responsibility can restrain his desire.

Because of the existence of Shi Xiaohan, and because both of them were burdened with too many heavy things, Gu Xu and Zhao Yan tacitly kept a distance from each other, restrained their emotions, and did not pierce the window on that floor Paper.

But now, when Zhao Changying brought this matter up plainly, Gu Xu felt a little at a loss for a moment.

"Thanks to King Yan's great love, this junior is terrified," Gu Xu thought for a long time, then nodded slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness is magnificent and charming, and this junior has admired her for a long time. It's just that this junior has already been engaged to a marriage contract, and has suffered all-round punishment from the Daqi court." Chasing and killing, the fate in the future is unpredictable, I don’t want to—”

"—It seems that what Yan'er said is correct," Zhao Changying interrupted him with a chuckle, "Even if you get divorced, you still miss your former fiancée, and you still want to go back to Luojing City, and get married with her." She resumed her lead.

"I just admire a young man like you who values ​​love and righteousness."

"I once promised that in my lifetime, I would never do anything to disappoint her." Gu Xu lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

When he was talking, Shi Xiaohan waved his small fists and vowed to protect him for the rest of his life.

"It's true that you didn't fail her. But what if she failed you?" Zhao Changying waved her hand while talking, and the two documents fell from the bookshelf, and they were spread out in front of Gu Xu.

Gu Xu took a closer look and found that this was a secret report to the King of Yan written by a secret agent sent by Dayan to Luojing City.

The content of the first secret report was that Princess Zhaoning and the divination master Mu Yunkai went to the residence of Shilei in the capital of Qianhu, the state capital.After that, Princess Zhaoning accurately grasped his escape route and sent all the officials who were chasing him to Jingxing.

The content of the second secret report is that because Shi Lei made an important contribution in the process of capturing Gu Xu, the most important criminal in the court, someone suggested that he be promoted to be the deputy envoy of Zhenfu in the east province of Jiaodong, Sipin. At present, the memorial has been sent to the Cabinet review.

After reading, Gu Xu lowered his head, his eyes were serious, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Of course he could guess Zhao Changying's intention for showing him the secret report - your former father-in-law sold your information to the Daqi court for his own official career, and almost killed you. Why don't you hurry up and tell him One clean break?

Gu Xu was really not feeling well emotionally.

After all, he almost died in Jingxing—if Zhao Yan hadn't rescued him in time, he might have gone to see Lord Yan long ago.

But intellectually, he can also understand Shi Lei's approach - he knows that Shi Lei is an official with no ambitions, he just wants to keep his job in the officialdom and muddle along.

When Shi Lei made such a choice, it was more like handing over a piece of paper to the Daqi court to gain the trust of the court and avoid implicating himself and his family.

"It's just what her father did, and it has nothing to do with her," Gu Xu thought for a while, then said in a calm voice, "Xiaohan didn't do anything to offend me."

Zhao Changying glanced at him like a monster, as if he didn't quite understand his brain circuit.

In the great wilderness of feudal society, a clan is often regarded as a unified whole. The individual and the clan will both prosper and lose together. One person's immorality will also become a shame for the whole family.

When children in a family talk about marriage, they not only value their personal abilities, but also the status and virtue of their parents.

Like Gu Xu, dividing a father and daughter into two independent individuals for judgment is completely different from ordinary people.

"Do you think I will allow an outsider who has no relationship with our family to master the power of Vulcan and be worshiped by priests and believers?" Zhao Changying's voice suddenly cooled down, and the smile on his face disappeared. not see.

After Gu Xu has mastered the power of Vulcan, he can use this to take back the blood power of the Zhao family members. Perhaps in the near future, his prestige may surpass that of the monarch of Yan Kingdom - this is obviously a scene that Zhao Changying does not want to see.

Gu Xu looked at Zhao Changying's rough and heroic face, sighed softly, and said with emotion in his heart: I finally saw you.

A dying lion is still a lion.

Even though Zhao Changying was seriously injured and died soon, he is still the hero who pretended to be a drunkard for many years for revenge.

Seeing that Gu Xu remained unmoved in the face of temptation, he bared his fangs without hesitation and chose to use deterrence to deal with him.

Even though Gu Xu is extremely talented and has entered the realm quickly, he still has no chance of winning in the face of a genuine "true monarch" strongman.

Gu Xu doesn't like this feeling of being controlled by others.

what can we do about it?

He frowned and began to think of ways to break the situation.
