In a small courtyard in Pingyang City, Jiangnan Prefecture.
The woman wearing a black cloth was still sweeping the dust in the courtyard and washing clothes as usual.
After finishing housework, a woman will practice spiritual practice for a period of time.
After that, the woman would sit at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the end of the road, waiting for him to come back.
It has been nearly nine months since Chen Lu left.
For Qing Lian, Chen Lu had never been away for such a long time.
At first, when Qing Lian heard that something had happened to the Black Dragon Secret Realm where Chen Lu was, her face turned pale with fright.
All I wanted to do was go to the Black Dragon Secret Realm.
If Li Sasa hadn't been watching Qinglian all day long, Qinglian would have left Pingyang City.
Fortunately, half a month later, Qinglian received a letter from Chen Lu from the Buddhist Kingdom.
Listening to Zhang Zheng's words, Qinglian thought for a moment, then raised her head: "Uncle Zhang, I can practice the Qi Kingdom royal family's exercises, but can I still major in the Pig Killing Knife Technique and the Sky Step?
?”
Looking at Qinglian, Zhang Zheng's eyes flashed with memories:
"I owe you not only Qi Guo, but also your mother, Your Highness the Princess.
Otherwise, my heart will be spent in repentance for the rest of my life."
"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Zhang Zheng bowed deeply and bowed, his voice trembling slightly.
Zhang Zheng still did not give up. Every day he tried to persuade Qing Lian to leave with him and lead Qi Guo to rise.
Qinglian's cultivation speed is very fast.
"." Zhang Zheng's lips parted slightly, but in the end, he smiled and shook his head, "Old minister, now that you understand the Qi Guo Kung Fu, Your Highness the Princess can just take the time to practice it."
But Qinglian will also remember everything Uncle Zhang helped her.
"Uncle Zhang, tell me."
But that's not the case. That's because Her Royal Highness the Princess has the sacred beast of Qi Guo in her body.
The last time Uncle Zhang took me to see Chen Lu, I still haven't repaid him.
For half a year, Zhang Zheng would still come every few days to deliver tofu to Qing Lian.
In Zhang Zheng's view, Qinglian is not only a princess, but also his own salvation.
After getting Qinglian's permission.
But Zhang Zheng had a lot to say about the spells performed by Qing Lian.
Because of the existence of the Zhenguo Divine Beast, Her Royal Highness the Princess's bones have been suppressed to a very low level, and practicing other techniques will be a kind of repulsion.
Zhang Zheng quickly returned the gift.
Qing Lian found that her level had risen a bit quickly, and she wondered if it was the tofu's problem.
Zhang Zheng: "If one day, the old minister said, if, if one day, Her Royal Highness the Princess becomes the Empress of Qi State, and Chen Lu becomes the General of Qian State, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and Chen Lu meet on the battlefield, and Chen Lu wants us to surrender, Princess
What will Your Highness do?"
Zhang Zheng shook his head.
Zhang Zheng directly sent medicine to Qing Lian. These medicines were prepared by Zhang Zheng himself and were helpful for his cultivation.
"Why?" Zhang Zheng was a little confused, "Is there anything special about these two techniques?"
Qinglian asked Zhang Zheng.
The sword technique performed by Her Royal Highness the Princess is called the Pig Killing Knife Technique. This sword technique does have some meaning, but for a woman, it is ultimately unsightly.
But Qinglian really didn’t want to owe Uncle Zhang any more favors.
"If something happens to Your Highness the Princess, ask someone to go to the old man in the next street and say that Her Highness wants to eat tofu. The old man will come over as soon as possible."
At this time, Qinglian felt slightly relieved.
Only when Her Royal Highness the Princess practices the techniques of the Qi Kingdom royal family can she advance by leaps and bounds, directly point to the great road, and even be able to connect with the sacred beasts of the country.
Qinglian nodded, indicating that she understood.
These are indeed Chen Lu's notes.
Please also ask Your Highness the Princess not to refuse again.
Zhang Zheng said to Qinglian.
If Her Royal Highness the Princess really wants to repay the old minister, please ask the old minister to do something for Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But every time he could help Qing Lian, Zhang Zheng felt better.
The tofu that Zhang Zheng gave to Qinglian was not ordinary tofu. It was filled with high-grade spiritual flowers and herbs.
Chen Lu said that he was in the Buddhist country now and had nothing to do, and would be back in a year at most.
Gradually, Zhang Zheng stopped talking.
The same goes for climbing to the sky. How can a girl keep stepping with her left foot and right foot?
Zhang Zheng wanted to teach Qing Lian the exercises practiced by the royal family of Qi Kingdom.
Every time, Qinglian would shake her head and say this.
Qinglian lowered her head and thought about it seriously for a long, long time.
From then on, one thing Qinglian often did was sit at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Your Highness the Princess, I have a question. I wonder if Your Highness the Princess can answer it." Zhang Zheng thought for a while and said.
"Uncle Zhang, Qinglian really can't owe Uncle Zhang any more favors." Qinglian looked extremely anxious.
And Zhang Zheng will also guide Qing Lian.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang." Qinglian bowed.
"Your Highness the Princess, you have betrayed my old minister."
Zhang Zheng nodded and did not hide anything.
In the eyes of many people, Her Royal Highness the Princess seems to have very ordinary qualities.
However, Zhang Zheng was not anxious at all, waiting for Her Royal Highness the Princess's answer.
"It shouldn't be anything special." Qing Lian shook her head, "But this technique was taught to me by Chen Lu, and I want to practice what he taught me well."
Zhang Zheng did not deceive Qing Lian.
There was guidance from an Ascension Realm monk, plus medicinal materials given by Zhang Zheng to assist in practice.
"Qinglian understands." Finally, the soft-hearted Qinglian nodded.
Qinglian will not stop Uncle Zhang from repaying his late mother's kindness through himself.
And once Her Royal Highness reaches a high level, this sword technique will no longer be enough.
During this period, Zhang Zheng would visit Her Royal Highness the Princess every few days.
If this continues, I will really have to pay it back for the rest of my life.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has never owed any favor to an old minister."
Since the fall of Qi Guo, Zhang Zheng has not had a good night's sleep. His self-blame for Qi Guo and her guilt have been filling Zhang Zheng's heart, constantly torturing him.
"."
"I just want to wait for Chen Lu to come back."
This can be regarded as my atonement for your mother, Your Royal Highness.
Seeing Uncle Zhang in such pain, Qinglian didn't know what to say.
Qinglian wanted to refuse, but Uncle Zhang couldn't bear the pleading look in his eyes.
"Your Highness, would you like me to teach your Highness the royal martial arts of our Qi Kingdom? As for the sword skills and footwork that Your Highness is currently practicing, why don't we give it a try first?" Zhang Zheng said with a smile.
"The reason why I did this is not just for Qi Guo, but also because of your mother."
"If such a day comes, I will not let you, Uncle Zhang, surrender." Qinglian raised her head and looked directly into Zhang Zheng's eyes, "Because Uncle Zhang, you have your own persistence and you should not give up because of me."
Zhang Zheng smiled and said: "Then if we don't surrender, the two armies will confront each other and Chen Lu will kill Her Royal Highness the Princess?
