Chapter 166 Escape

Cao Mengde had mentioned this matter to Zhao Yu earlier at the founding of the country. He mentioned it again the last time he came to the other courtyard. He must have really wanted to abdicate.

Hearing this, Zhaoji shook her head gently: "How do you know about me? Whether Mengde abdicates is not up to him alone. Even if he abdicates, he must make complete arrangements. I'm afraid it won't happen in a while."

Zhao Yu nodded to express his understanding.

Then he said, "It's been twenty-eight years since I came back last time. I'm restless again and want to go out for a walk. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao, whose temperament has become much more stable, couldn't help but smile: "Is it true?"

She said: "Although the other courtyard is safe, I always feel tired after a long time."

Zhao Yu laughed and held her in his arms: "You have been out a lot these years, are you still tired of it?"

Xiao Qiao snorted: "I'm just going to my parents' house. I prefer to travel around the world with my husband!"

Sun Ren, Da Qiao, and Mi Zhen all laughed.

Zhao Yu twisted Xiao Qiao's nose: "This is not a trip around the world."

The six husband and wife talked, then went to the pavilion on the back mountain and sat next to each other.

After hearing what Zhao Yu said, the wives and concubines became curious. Zhao Ji asked him: "Aren't you traveling around the world? What wonderful ideas does your husband have?"

Zhao Yu looked at the sky with a smile, pointed at the endless blue, and said with a smile: "I mean the stars in the sky."

Regarding the trip to the starry sky, Zhao Yu had not mentioned it before, so his wives and concubines did not know about it either. At this time, when I first heard that I was going to the starry sky, I was a little surprised.

Xiao Qiao reacted quickly, blinked his eyes, and showed a hint of excitement: "Are you going to heaven?!"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly: "The earth is nothing more than a speck of dust compared to the starry sky. And during my trip, I have to start refining magic weapons. The earth's resources cannot support it. Twenty-eight years have passed since I returned last time. If you feel tired, you might as well take a walk."

Zhao Ji and the others all nodded.

Marry the chicken, follow the chicken. Wherever Zhao Yu goes, they will follow him.

And there is no worry about survival - even in the starry sky, so what? The Chaos Bead Small World is not just for viewing.

Over the years, every once in a while, Zhao Yu would take his wives and concubines into the small world of Chaos Pearl to live for ten days and a half. Or take care of the medicinal materials and spiritual objects in the small world, or change the scenery and mood.

After hearing Zhao Yu talk about going to the starry sky, the wives and concubines all thought of this.

"No wonder your husband asked about Mengde's abdication. Your husband plans to hand over the other courtyard to Mengde?"

Zhao Ji asked.

After hearing this, Zhao Yu shook his head slightly: "I don't plan to give it to Meng De from another hospital."

He looked at Zhao Ji: "I have always regretted that my little sister is unmarried. In this case, leave the other courtyard to my little sister."

Zhao Ji was slightly startled and nodded silently.

Twenty-eight years have passed, and Cai Xiaomei has never been married. Even his temper was restrained and indifferent, and he moved closer to Zhang Ling. Now that she is almost fifty, Zhao Ji is also troubled by it. But the matter has come to this, and there is nothing that can be done.

Zhao Yu sighed: "It's my fault that my little sister is like this. I don't worry about leaving the other hospital to her. I asked about Meng De just because I wanted to spend more time with him before I left. That's all."

Zhao Yu often leaves as soon as he says it, and never hesitates. If Cao Mengde abdicates at this time, we can stay together for a while longer. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to see each other again from now on.

Once he enters the starry sky, if Zhao Yu wants to refine the magic weapon, he must use the stars outside the solar system. It's so far away that we won't be able to get back and forth for a while. What's more, when refining a magic weapon, you can't leave it for too long unless you keep an eye on it at all times. Traveling to and from a star system is not an easy task even with Zhao Yu's current level of cultivation.

By the time the magic weapon is refined, or it gets tired of wandering in the starry sky, it may be hundreds of years later when you return.

As for Cao Mengde, who was mortal in body, although he practiced martial arts and was now opening acupuncture points, he only had a few decades left to live.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel disappointed. Looking at the five wives and concubines, it was even more difficult to let go.

But in an instant, the spirit used a sword to kill all these distracting thoughts. Zhao Yu said: "I have the intention to leave at this time. In addition to being exhausted on earth, there are two reasons."

After saying that, Zhao Yu paused: "One is the seed of the longevity fruit, which will be fertilized and will fall off in March or May. The second is..."

When Zhao Yu said this, he looked at Zhao Ji as if he didn't know how to speak.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Yu have been husband and wife for so many years, and their tacit understanding is also extraordinary.

Seeing Zhao Yu hesitating like this, she suddenly understood, with a sad look on her face: "Is mother's longevity coming soon?"

Mrs. Cai is already very old, even older than Cao Mengde. Over the years, they did not like to practice and often said that they knew their destiny, and Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji had nothing to do. Now that his life is finally coming to an end, not to mention Zhao Yu, even Zhao Ji can feel the gloom and gloom.

Zhao Yu held Zhao Ji in his arms, patted her back gently, and said in a low voice: "My mother's longevity will be within this month."

Xiao Qiao and others couldn't help but feel sad about it. They also thought of their direct relatives, and they were all silent for a moment.

Zhao Yu said: "Okay, my mother passed away..."

Then he looked at Xiao Qiao, Sun Ren, and Mi Zhen: "I will take advantage of these few months to visit my parents' house more often. Maybe..."

...

People are mortal, so they want to become immortals.

But those who cannot become immortals will inevitably end up destroying the world.

Ending your life is not a bad thing.

But we are directly related by blood and are connected by family ties, so how can we not make people sad?

It's like a piece of my heart has been dug out, part of it has been lost, and it seems incomplete.

This kind of thing has been experienced by wives and concubines in the previous twenty-eight years. Both Xiao Qiao's father and mother died during this period. Every time he had to be depressed for a period of time, Zhao Yu was comforted.

Sun Ren and Mi Zhen have not experienced it yet.

Sun Ren's mother, Mrs. Wu, is still strong and healthy even though she is not young yet. Brothers Sun Ce and others are still in their prime and hold high and powerful positions. Mi Zhen passed away early, and her two elder brothers were also in their prime. But once I leave, I don’t know when I can return. Even when I return, Zhao Yu is the only one. How can I describe the desolation in it?

Zhao Yu didn't want to mention it, but after a while, all the wives and concubines, except Zhao Ji, returned to their natal home to visit their relatives.

This move not only touched the hearts of everyone in the other courtyard, but also caught Cao Mengde's eyes.

In mid-January, Mrs. Cai finally passed away. After the old lady left, Uncle Cai seemed to have aged a lot.

Cao Mengde came to the other courtyard to pay homage, and then talked with Zhao Yu in detail.

Knowing that Zhao Yu was about to leave, he felt even more tempted to abdicate.

He said to him: "Sir, I want to go far away into the stars. I...ah..."

Sighing or feeling lonely are beyond words.

Zhao Yu said: "Life is nothing more than gatherings and separations. You and I have known each other for many years, and I don't know if we will ever see each other again."

Cao Mengde nodded silently.

After leaving the other courtyard, Cao Mengde decided to abdicate. A month later, he arranged everything and passed the throne of emperor to Cao Ang. Then he took his wife, wives and concubines to settle in the other courtyard.

Another month later, Zhao Yu and his five wives and concubines disappeared without a trace.

Cai Xiaomei was lonely, looking at the sky with a lonely face.
