#66 - Return to Beijing, opening
In the following days, the three of them didn't return to the capital. Instead, they rushed around, tirelessly slaying demons, killing a total of four more.
The Willow Leaf Division had demon-slaying tasks, and this time, the three of them directly completed their KPI for the next month in advance, and everyone had a lot of extra gains.
Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng earned silver, while Wei Changtian increased his cultivation.
After absorbing the Taoism of four more demons, his realm had reached the peak of the seventh rank, only one step away from the sixth rank.
I have to say, the supernatural power "Devouring Demons" is really too buggy!
If everyone wasn't a little tired, he really wanted to kill all the demons he could remember at once.
However, killing them slowly also has its benefits, at least he doesn't have to explain to Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen why his realm has improved so quickly.
On the eighth day of the ninth month, after some discussion, the three finally ended their short demon-slaying journey and set off back to the capital.
......
Noon.
A black carriage with the Flood Dragon flag flew all the way into the east gate of the capital, and none of the gatekeepers dared to stop it.
Not long after entering the city, the carriage slowly stopped by the side of the road. Wei Changtian and the others got out of the carriage one after another, preparing to go back to their respective homes first, and then meet at the office tomorrow.
As a single dog, Zhou Cheng had been fed dog food from time to time these past few days, and he couldn't eat any more. So he said hello and fled as if he was flying, and the direction he was going should be straight to Pingchang Fang.
Wei Changtian watched him leave in a hurry, and then asked Xu Qingwan.
"Do you want me to send you back?"
According to the views of female rights V from his previous life, the subtext of a boy asking this question is - I don't want to send you back.
Fortunately, Xu Qingwan has not been poisoned by this kind of soul chicken soup, so she just shook her head very honestly at this time.
"No need, it's not good for my family to see."
"Okay, then in a few days I will let my dad go to your house... cough, pay a visit and settle our affairs."
Wei Changtian deliberately avoided the word "propose marriage".
He didn't care about Xu Qingwan's status after she married over, but Wei Xianzhi and Qin Caizhen would definitely not allow Comrade Xiao Xu to be his main wife.
After all, even Lu Jingyao's background made her a concubine, let alone a female arrester who showed her face all day long.
And since she is not the main wife, there is no such thing as "proposing marriage".
Of course, Xu Qingwan also understood this, or rather, she had already known her status after marrying into the Wei Mansion, so she didn't feel anything wrong at this time, but her cheeks turned slightly red.
"It's all up to you. If you want to wait a few more days, then wait a few more days. I'm not in a hurry."
"I'm not in a hurry, but I am."
Wei Changtian smiled evilly: "The sooner you marry over, the sooner we can cultivate together!"
"Aren't we cultivating together now?" Xu Qingwan was a little puzzled.
"Cough, I'm talking about another kind of cultivation."
"......"
Xu Qingwan is not an ignorant little girl. Although she is a little silly sometimes, she can also understand the meaning of Wei Changtian's words.
She didn't know how to respond, she only felt her face was terribly hot, and finally simply left a sentence and ran away on her own.
"T-Then you should marry me sooner!"
"......"
The sun洒落在街弄胡同，路边的各个小摊中热气翻腾，时不时有诱人的香气飘逸而出。(The sun洒落在街弄胡同，路边的各个小摊中热气翻腾，时不时有诱人的香气飘逸而出。)
Wei Changtian smiled, and then walked towards the Wei Mansion in the midday sun, humming an advertisement song from his previous life uncontrollably.
"Dead oil泼爱豆's smile isn't as sweet as yours ~"
"The sun at noon in August isn't as dazzling as you..."
Wei Changtian was very happy along the way, but unfortunately, this good mood came to an abrupt end when he returned to the Wei Mansion.
......
In the study, sandalwood incense curled up in a quiet scene.
However, Wei Changtian and Wang Er, who were in it, both looked very bad.
Especially Wei Changtian, he never expected that the situation of the "Liu-Wei battle" would develop so quickly.
In the past few days when he left Beijing to kill demons everywhere, the two families actually completely tore their faces without any warning!
It is difficult to trace who launched the attack first, but this battle has quickly spread to the entire capital with lightning speed.
In the court, countless memorials were submitted to Ning Yongnian every day like snowflakes. Whether it was the Wei faction or the Liu faction, it involved almost half of the court officials. A group of people argued with each other every day with red faces.
Under the court, the industries of the Liu and Wei families also began to suffer from each other's calculations and suppression, both openly and secretly. Several Jianghu gangs participated in it, and smashing, looting, arson, and bloodshed on the streets have become commonplace.
Overall, it was a mess, but it hadn't reached the point of being out of control.
It seems that today's son has some tricks.
Wei Changtian understood in his heart that the reason why the originally fragile balance between the Liu and Wei families was suddenly broken was definitely due to Ning Yongnian's fueling the flames behind the scenes.
As for Xiao Feng... at most, he is a participant and promoter who takes advantage of the situation, and his energy is definitely not enough to influence the battle situation.
This is the same as myself.
All of this came too quickly. Wei Changtian himself, including his subordinates, had not yet developed, and it was difficult to have any impact on the situation.
If he waited a few more years, he might be able to determine the direction of this struggle, but what he can do for the Wei family at the moment is very limited...
Forget it, if he can't help, then he can't help it.
For himself, as long as he can preserve his strength in the storm and kill Xiao Feng according to plan, that is enough.
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian finally issued instructions to Wang Er.
"The matter of the Freemasons should be put on hold for the time being during this period. Do not recruit any more newcomers. At the same time, slowly withdraw all the brothers from the Chun Shen Bookstore and try to keep Li Yang's side clean."
"Tell Li Kan, the Dali Temple should not take sides and maintain neutrality."
"Send more people to the Xuan Tian Society and the Liu Mansion, and it's best to find a few spies to sneak in."
"The little girl named Liu Yingying and her grandfather in Houqiu Village must be watched closely... Forget it, just grab them back for me!"
"......"
After giving several orders in a row, Wei Changtian breathed a sigh of relief.
He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Looking out through the window, Yuan'er was using a bamboo pole to drive away the big hen that flew to the roof, Qiuyun was bending over to clean the chicken coop, Lu Jingyao was sitting in the pavilion and embroidering a handkerchief with her head down, and Wei Qiaoling was still sleeping soundly on the big ghost.
The glow of the setting sun draped them in an orange-red coat, and the whole world seemed to have become a gentle woman.
Looking at this scene, Wei Changtian suddenly felt that this was pretty good.
There are women, there are relatives, there are pets.
Worry-free about food and clothing, peaceful and serene.
Sigh...
Touching the warm jade pendant on his waist, he withdrew his gaze and gently closed the wooden window.
