Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 388: Going to Lingnan for domestic affairs

No one can know the pain and cry in Bai Qing'er's heart.

Even if Zhao Mingyuan had foresight and had a close relationship with him, he could only understand one tenth of it.

After all, who wants to be the second child for ten thousand years?
Bai Qing'er grew up in a demon sect and was suppressed for so many years. It is not surprising that she has some psychological distortions.

In the Demon Sect, how many people have nothing wrong with them?

Could it be that Huanwan is just a normal woman?

However, Zhao Mingyuan also did not want his harem to be in disharmony.

Otherwise, if such resentment enters Zhao Mingyuan's harem, it will probably stir up disputes in the future, causing Zhao Mingyuan's harem to compete for favors.

It's just that time is also fate.

Bai Qing'er is top-notch in terms of appearance and martial arts skills, but she is still inferior to Huan Huan. If Zhao Mingyuan really puts his status above Huan Huan, it will probably lead to even greater disputes.

However, it would not be good if we left it alone.

Moreover, although Bai Qing'er is slightly inferior to Huan Huan, it is naturally extraordinary to be able to make Huan Huan feel such great pressure.

Wouldn't it be a huge waste to let such talents sit idle?
Just seeing that she managed Xiangyang in an orderly manner in the name of Qian Duguan's concubine, and she also gained the support of many elders of the Yingui Sect. It seems that her talent in social management is better than her martial arts practice.

Perhaps it would be a better choice to leave Bai Qing'er to Shen Luoyan for training.

Alas, there will be too many people in the family in the future, so we should find some jobs for them to keep them busy, so naturally there will be no time for fighting.

Bai Qing'er naturally agreed to Zhao Mingyuan's arrangement.

She seemed to be a well-behaved, sensible, lovable and weak woman. How could she refuse if she could help her husband?

What's more, everyone knows that Shen Luoyan has won the trust of King Ming. She is not only a member of the cabinet, but can also be regarded as the spokesperson of Zhao Mingyuan in the cabinet. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is now the de facto prime minister of Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Shen Luoyan will definitely be one of Prince Ming's concubines in the future. Faced with such a powerful figure, how could Bai Qing'er refuse the opportunity to make friends with her?
Bai Qing'er is confident that with her communication skills, as long as she deliberately makes good friends with her, she will become as close as a sister to Shen Luoyan in the near future. After that, she can even join forces with the other harems of Ming Wang Zhao Mingyuan to isolate Huanwan.

Humph, what's the use of having too high a martial arts skill? In the harem, it depends on means.

In Bai Qing'er's view, since Zhao Mingyuan is willing to let her participate in political affairs, he obviously trusts her enough and thinks that he has a sure victory and does not take Huan Huan seriously.

After all, how can a woman who cannot have close contact be loved by her husband?

As for Huanwan, since they were in the same boat, the affairs of Zhao Mingyuan and Bai Qing'er could not be hidden from her.

However, when she saw the two of them the next day, Huanhua behaved as before, as if she didn't take the matter to heart at all.

Zhao Mingyuan couldn't tell whether Huanwan didn't care because he was used to such things, or whether he really didn't care.

In short, he really didn't notice anything strange about Huanwan.

However, Huanwan always wanted Zhao Mingyuan to help her improve her skills so that she could break through the realm.

Even though Zhao Mingyuan expressed that he was eager to go to Lingnan to go to the Song Dynasty for an appointment, Huanwan also expressed that he could accompany Zhao Mingyuan there.

But in the end, Zhao Mingyuan did not take her south despite Huanwan's soft words and all kinds of coquettishness.

After all, this trip is to discuss marriage with the Song clan, so what's the point of taking her along?
As for what Huanwan said, when she came to Lingnan, she stopped moving forward and waited for him there.

Zhao Mingyuan sneered at this.

What's the difference between this and deception?
The power of the Song Clan spread throughout the whole of Jiangnan, not to mention that Zhao Mingyuan, a man who attracted so much attention, had countless eyes watching his every move.

With a stunning beauty accompanying him, how could he not attract attention? How could this possibly escape the eyes and ears of the Song clan.

I went to propose marriage, but there was still a beautiful woman accompanying me.Isn’t this too scumbag?
This is not about getting married, but about making enemies!

Although he knew that the competition between himself and Song Que was unavoidable, facing his father-in-law Song Que who was just sparring and facing the furious Heavenly Sword were completely different concepts.

Although it seems that Song Que is only a Grandmaster at best, not much better than Ning Daoqi.

After all, the fight between the two in the original work ended in a draw, and if they continued to fight, both sides would suffer losses.

Ordinarily, since Zhao Mingyuan could kill Ning Daoqi easily, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with Song Que.

But what Song Que practiced was the way of the sword, the way to attack the strong and defend the weak, and he had already reached the state of "there is nothing but the sword".

He didn't even care about his own life when he started. If he was allowed to attack with all his strength, his attack power would be the highest among the great masters. Even Zhao Mingyuan would not dare to claim that he could pass the level without any injuries.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan came here to form an alliance and marriage, not just to conquer the Song clan.

Therefore, whether Song Que was seriously injured or died in the end result, it would damage his own side's combat effectiveness.For Zhao Mingyuan, the gains outweigh the losses.However, if you want to defeat Song Que, it will be harder than killing him.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan didn't want to face Song Que who was risking his life, so it was better not to do anything to provoke him, but to use He He's two moves beautifully.

I hope Song Que can show mercy for the sake of his father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, and confirm Zhao Mingyuan's strength before calling it a day.

Of course, besides Song Que, Zhao Mingyuan also had to consider Song Yuzhi's feelings.

Even in this world, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that Zhao Mingyuan is now the King of Ming, so it is not a big deal.

But Zhao Mingyuan's moral values ​​still don't allow him to do such a thing, at least he can't do it openly!
The power of the secular world is still very powerful, and the concept of being a good match has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even Zhao Mingyuan cannot change it easily.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan's queen can only be Song Yuzhi.

Of course, it is also most beneficial to Zhao Mingyuan to have Song Yuzhi as his successor.

Even if the Song clan's help to Zhao Mingyuan was not discussed, simply because Song Yuzhi had the highest status, she was the only woman who could convince everyone as the queen.

Otherwise, even if others take this position by virtue of Zhao Mingyuan's favor, they will not be able to convince the public, causing chaos in the harem, and it will still be Zhao Mingyuan who has the headache in the end.

Therefore, for the sake of the peace of his future harem, Zhao Mingyuan firmly refused Hanhan's request to accompany him.

After solving the matter at hand, Zhao Mingyuan went south alone, riding a thousand-mile horse, and saw all the scenery of Jiangnan.

Zhao Mingyuan's nature is not only the scenery along the way, but also the livelihood of people everywhere.

Although the mountains and rivers along this journey were beautiful, in Zhao Mingyuan's eyes, the mountains and rivers were broken and the people's livelihood was in decline.

The war is still going on in many places along the way, and bandits and bullies are emerging one after another. Most of the people are emaciated and thin, and they look like they have suffered from the war.

But Zhao Mingyuan did not stop going south to help these suffering people. Instead, he went south even faster.

Just because he knew that he couldn't help a few people by himself, it was better to complete his unification plan faster, so that he could put an end to the war, restore peace to the world, and truly change their destiny.

What Zhao Mingyuan was riding was a thousand-mile horse that was carefully cultivated by the Pegasus Ranch as a gift from Shang Xiuxun. It was a good horse that could really travel a thousand miles in a day.

Even traveling on such rugged roads as in ancient times, Zhao Mingyuan arrived in Lingnan in just three days.

There is an east-west mountain range called Wuling in the south of Lingnan, which blocks the cold north wind, making it difficult for it to go south and making it extremely warm.But because it faces the sea to the south, the sea breeze brings heavy rainfall and makes it very humid. Lingnan and Lingbei are simply two worlds.

Because of this natural barrier, Lingnan is separated from the Central Plains, and its culture and economy are far inferior to those of the Central Plains. There are many ethnic minorities living there and few Han people, so it has always been called a "barbarian land."

The Song family has lived in Lingnan for a long time, and is regarded as the leader by hundreds of tribes. The Han people are the orthodox residents, and they have always been in conflict with the heroes in the north.

When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty unified the world, he was canonized as the King of Zhennan and sat in charge of Lingnan. Later, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty came to the throne. Under the decades of management of Tiandao Song Que, the Song family became more and more powerful and became an independent kingdom.

At this time, there were many heroes in the north, and the rebel armies all claimed to be fighting in the Central Plains. However, Lingnan was peaceful and peaceful, just like a paradise in the world.

Although the clothes of the people in Lingnan are very different from those in the Central Plains, and many of them are ethnic minorities, they are obviously very harmonious and have a peaceful scene, which shows the stability of the Song Dynasty's rule over this place.

Sure enough, Zhao Mingyuan's itinerary could not be hidden from the Song family at all. He had just stepped into the Song family mountain city and saw the Song family coming to welcome him.

Everyone in the Song family received Zhao Mingyuan with a grand ceremony, and they were obviously extremely satisfied with him.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan always insisted on Han unification, which meant that he had the same position as the Song clan.

And Zhao Mingyuan's performance was even more astonishing, far exceeding the expectations of everyone in the Song clan. The situation was excellent, and even had the potential to engulf the world, which made everyone in the Song clan couldn't help but be more satisfied.

Even because Zhao Mingyuan performed so well, the Song family became uneasy, worried that Zhao Mingyuan would break the contract, or that Song Yuzhi would find it difficult to take the position of Zhao Mingyuan's head wife.

However, no matter how worried they were, they could not change Song Que's decision.

Regardless of whether it is an alliance or a marriage, Song Que, the lord of the clan, will ultimately have to make the final decision.

Fortunately, Zhao Mingyuan finally came as promised, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they immediately became worried about another thing, and that was the battle between Zhao Mingyuan and Song Que.

Song Yuzhi even pulled Zhao Mingyuan aside and quietly told him that after Song Que learned that Zhao Mingyuan easily defeated Ning Daoqi, he carved his name on the whetstone.

Regarding the alliance and marriage with Zhao Mingyuan, Song Que didn't say a word. He just said that he would wait for Zhao Mingyuan to come and go to the Sharpening Hall.

Although he did not go into details, everyone knew that facing Zhao Mingyuan, who was nominally the best in the world, he must want to fight with all his strength.

As for the alliance and marriage, it naturally depends on how Zhao Mingyuan performs in this battle.
