"I have known for a long time that you are not an ordinary person. Although I am not smart enough, I am not too stupid either. Although you are very polite to me, we always feel alienated. You have never been willing to participate in my life. If you don't care about my affairs in the yamen and don't want to make my friends, I know you will leave sooner or later."
After observing the girl's expression, Chu Ming continued, "Originally I just thought that you might be the child of a certain imperial official living among the people, but I didn't expect that you turned out to be a fairy among the gods. You are right, we are in two different worlds. I have nothing but blessings for you.”
Chu Ming's free and easy and kind-heartedness can't help but impress "Yu Niang" and Granny Shi.
"This time of separation, we will never see each other again. How about I show you my true face."
The girl suddenly said such a sentence without thinking, but Chu Ming did not dare to be careless at all.
"Fairy, don't do this. The person I spend time with is Yu Niang, and she can only look like Yu Niang. Why do you have to leave room for me to have wild imaginations."
Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, the girl and Granny Shi felt relieved after looking at each other.
Chu Ming didn't know that he had just wandered around the gate of hell and returned safely.
"If someone asks about my whereabouts in the future, how will you answer?"
After pondering for a while, Chu Ming said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid this will be disrespectful to the fairy. I will declare to the outside world that you died suddenly and bury you outside the city."
After hearing Chu Ming's answer, the girl looked at Granny Shi again with probing eyes.
As the supervisor of the "Red Earth Tribulation", Granny Shi not only decides the evaluation of the saint's trip, but also decides Chu Ming's life and death.
Although the mortal disaster of the Saint of Guanghan Palace has long been no secret among high-level sects, it cannot be spread wantonly.
So Granny Shi will test Chu Ming's character and attitude towards this matter, and finally decide his life or death.
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Ming's life and death was related to the future development prospects of the Saint, I'm afraid all the men who had experienced the tribulation of the mortal world would have died unexpectedly.
Granny Shi was very satisfied with Chu Ming's performance. Faced with the questioning look cast by the girl, Granny Shi nodded secretly.
Seeing this, "Yu Niang" was also relieved, but there was no reaction on the surface.
Everything had been talked about and all the explanations had been completed. The girl didn't hesitate at all. She took Tengkong and Granny Shi and left immediately, leaving no chance for Chu Ming to say goodbye.
Chu Ming sat motionless on the stone bench for about an hour. After confirming that Yu Niang had really left, he excitedly started dancing in the yard, using this most primitive way to vent his excitement.
Chu Ming felt extremely relieved to finally send away his "pillow person" of three years.
If the Saint of Guanghan Palace were to witness all this, I wonder if she would kill him at all costs.
The next day, Chu Ming came to Shengxian Valley with a red face. At this time, everyone also knew the news of Yu Niang's departure.
"I also ask the young master to punish Feng San for his negligence."
Chu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said magnanimously, "She comes from a first-class sect. Naturally, she has many advanced concealment skills, and she is also a strong Martial Emperor. It is normal that you failed to discover her true state." ”
Chu Ming waved his hand to interrupt Tu Fengsan's continued apology.
"Through our contact with Guanghan Palace, we at least have an understanding of the strength of the top sects in the mainland."
Everyone was afraid of Chu Ming's first meeting with Emperor Wu last night. Although the final result was good, the thrills involved were not enough to explain to outsiders.
During this period, with the guarantee of an unlimited supply of spiritual stones, everyone's realm has been greatly improved, and it is inevitable that they will have an inflated mentality.
But the appearance of Emperor Wu in their lives made everyone lose all these feelings of superiority.
If Granny Shi had made the opposite decision last night, even if all of them tried their best, they wouldn't be able to change the final outcome. This deep sense of powerlessness triggered a new upsurge in spiritual practice among everyone.
After everyone sat down, Chu Ming said solemnly, "The high-grade sect has never paid much attention to the Exile Domain, and because of the consistent education, the disciples of Taiyi Sect are full of deep disgust for this place. This is because we unify the Northeast." The favorable conditions of the domain.”
"But when our strength is not strong enough, we still need to develop in a low-key manner and hide most of our strength so as not to attract the attention of major forces early. You must know that there must be a Martial Emperor in Taiyi Sect."
"Sir, is our next target the Kingdom of Wei or the Kingdom of Zhao?"
"Now Gu Bizong and Gu Tang Sect are leaderless, and Gu Yu Zong's strength has also suffered heavy losses. The three sects of Wei State are at the end of their strength. We can harvest at any time we want."
Chu Ming paused and continued, "Although the five sects of Zhao State have also suffered losses, after all, their internal structure is complete and their organization is tight. As long as they are given sufficient time, they will slowly regain their strength."
"Young master, do you mean to take over Wei first?"
The three countries in the Exile Domain are arranged in a long strip, with Wei in the middle connecting Song and Zhao, while Zhao and Song are not bordering each other.
"Then what method do we need to use to attack the five sects of Zhao State?"
Everyone turned their attention to Chu Ming, and he said easily, "We are a killer organization. There is no need to confront them head-on. We can use an efficient method like assassination."
Chu Ming's plan is actually in line with the wishes of many people here. They are all good players, so naturally they will not give up their strongest means.
"The most difficult part in executing this plan is that it needs to be launched at the same time. Otherwise, if they notice the danger, it will greatly affect the final result."
When Chu Ming said this, everyone laughed heartily. Since the characters in the system can communicate with each other, this is not a problem for them at all.
"As for the early stage of surveying the terrain, selecting targets, planning evacuation routes, etc., you are all good at it, so I won't do it for you. You can agree on the details of the action on your own."
Originally, Chu Ming planned to send Situ Zhaixing to the Kingdom of Zhao to collect information on the five major sects. However, not only has he failed to break through to the King of Martial Arts, he is still only a late-stage Grand Master martial artist, and has even been surpassed by Zhao Min and Mu Wanqing.
"King Stealing, have you encountered a bottleneck in your practice recently?"
"Sir, my situation is different from everyone else's. Whenever my realm improves, my body skills must be polished to be highly consistent with it before I can break through to the next realm, so it takes some time."
Situ Zhaixing's kung fu mainly lies in his body skills, so this situation is really normal.
"Now we need you to go to Zhao State to serve as a frontline for everyone and quickly understand the situation of the five major sects. Are you confident in completing the task?"
"Please give me the order, Master."
Situ Zhaixing changed his usual playful expression and solemnly knelt down on one knee to accept the order.
"Okay, order Situ Zhaixing to go to Zhao Kingdom to collect the basic information of the five major sects."
"I obey my orders."
After receiving the order, Situ Zhaixing set off for Zhao without any delay.
"Now let's discuss who will go to Zhao State this time. Since this is an assassination mission, self-preservation is the first priority, so except for Situ Zhaixing, who is in charge of intelligence work, everyone else's level must not be lower than King Wu. "
Chu Ming set the basic principles for Zhao's trip.
"Young master, you mean that all the kings of Wu will go to Zhao Kingdom?"
Tu Fengsan asked the question tentatively.
"It still needs to be analyzed based on the specific situation. For example, as the new king of the Song Kingdom, it is not appropriate for Shenhou to suddenly appear in the Zhao Kingdom as a killer."
After a heated debate, Shen Luoyan summarized everyone's opinions and handed them into Chu Ming's hands.
After scanning the list, Chu Ming crossed out Nie Feng's name, but there was no problem with the others.
"The Exile Domain has not seen a Martial Emperor for many years. The Taiyi Sect does not care about the territory here, but it will certainly not be indifferent to the sudden appearance of a Martial Emperor."
"So once the strength of the Martial Emperor is revealed, we must be sure to keep the opponent. This is also one of our secrets."
Nie Feng and others would naturally have no objection to Chu Ming's analysis.
The personnel were divided into two parts. Those who stayed in Shengxian Valley were: Nie Feng, Zhong Ling, Zhao Min, Mu Wanqing, the two elders Xuanming, the two immortals of Butterfly Valley, and the ancestor of Blood Knife.
Those who went to Zhao State were: Cao Zhengchun, Liu Jiannu, Shen Luoyan, Li Xunhuan, A Fei, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Ye Gucheng, and Yan Shisan.
Zhuge Shenhou and Tie Shou were in the court, and Hong Qigong's beggar gang assumed the responsibility of the intelligence agency. He himself could not leave the Song Dynasty easily.
Zuo Lengchan was in charge of the Salt Gang, and Tu Fengsan also stayed in the Zhenjing Society.
This is also Chu Ming's principle. System figures who appear in public will no longer participate in such secret activities. This in itself is also a sign of prudence.
Due to the large number of people going to Zhao State, everyone set off in three groups.
After dealing with the outward expansion matter, Chu Ming has to rush back to Hedong City to complete the last step of the disappearance of his "mysterious lady" and hold a funeral for her.
When Chu Ming came to the restaurant, Uncle Fu asked with concern, "Master, don't be too sad, otherwise even if the young lady gets there, she won't be able to feel at ease."
Although Chu Ming also had a sad expression, the joy from his heart could hardly be concealed.
Chu Ming spent the next week busy with Yu Niang's "funeral affairs."
Although he knew that the time and occasion were wrong, there were still many wealthy families in the city who were willing to let their daughters renew his marriage.
Chu Ming was impeccable in appearance, character, and ability, and the wealthy ladies in the city had long been eyeing him.
There were many people who were willing to be his concubines, but he rejected them all because they were harmonious as husband and wife and had no intention of doing so. Now that they finally had the opportunity, they naturally couldn't give up easily.
Although it was still during the funeral, the funny thing was that the people who wanted to say goodbye to Chu Ming almost crossed the threshold of his home.
