Qinghe, Beimang, names similar to the present world, with similar status. Beimang's geography is strange, located in the north, but Qinghe's geography is very similar to the present world. When Zhao Changhe escorted Cui Yuanyang, a joke came to his mind: "I've come to HEB province."

The location of the capital is also very close to the present world's capital, but Beimang is located further north. Therefore, Cui Yuanyang once said, "Although my home is not passing through the capital to get to Beimang, it's not far off the route."

It is unclear how this phenomenon was formed and what connection it has with the present world... As for the matter of the era, perhaps it is a good idea to ask Cui Wenjing this time. Yuanyang may not know much about these things.

Walking on the streets of Qinghe County, the streets are extremely spacious, with a constant flow of traffic and the sounds of vendors selling goods on both sides. There are palaces, towers, and pavilions everywhere, with a variety of styles.

This is the first prosperous city that Zhao Changhe has seen in this world, several times more prosperous than the city where he stole clothes before. I wonder how the capital compares to this?

All the things that Zhao Changhe has experienced, the bloody slaughter of his entire family, the chaos of bandits and robbers, the strange winds and waves in the martial arts world... It seems that all of these are far away from such a place, so far away that it doesn't seem like the same world.

If there is a pure land in this chaotic world, it is probably a place like this.

The governor of Qinghe County is a member of the Cui family, not Cui Wenjing himself, but his younger brother Cui Wenjue. The Cui family has many other relatives, in-laws, and students, spread throughout the state and even the army, a first-class force that spans states and counties.

This is the Cui family of Qinghe.

Cui Wenjing himself has no official position in the court, maintaining a transcendent position as the ninth person in the world. Xia Longyuan must also respect such a person and such a force.

In the eyes of most people, the image of the head of the Cui family is not the same as the old fox and father figure that Zhao Changhe has seen. He is like a mythical dragon, high in the sky and majestic, yet gentle and refined like a gentleman.

With modern knowledge, it is clear that behind this prosperity lies extreme ugliness. Even the consolidation of land can make many people homeless, and most dynasties have come from this. In this place, the aristocracy is the absolute antagonist. Other common practices include bullying men and women, discussing esotericism and ignoring the court, even colluding with other ethnic groups. The aristocracy bears a large part of the blame for the chaotic world.Therefore, Zhao Changhe always had a hostile and even contemptuous attitude towards the aristocracy. While Cui Yuanyang was cute, she was just an individual and could not represent a class. But at this moment, witnessing the prosperity and peace that was completely different from the outside world, he had to admit that his previous impression was not so objective.

Things have two sides, at least at this moment, this was indeed a pure land.

Cui's estate was located in the east of the city, with a vast area and a majestic atmosphere. The road outside the gate was lined with willows swaying in the spring breeze, small bridges and flowing water, adding a few more traces of leisurely elegance to the solemnity. In fact, compared to the garden full of spring colors in the backyard of the Wei County magistrate, it was even more stylish.

Cui Wenjing did not bring Zhao Changhe and had already disappeared. It was still Cui Yuanyang happily bringing her "Big Brother Zhao" into the house. From the entrance to her boudoir, Zhao Changhe felt that this road was farther than circling the Beimangshan stronghold three times. There were more gardeners trimming flowers and grass on the road than people in the stronghold.

A true rich girl.

Cui Yuanyang could tell his envy, jealousy, and hatred and said with a smile, "If I ask Big Brother Zhao to come here earlier and ask about the marriage, will he refuse to leave?"

Zhao Changhe honestly said, "Most likely, he will say that the rich woman is hungry and needs to eat."

Cui Yuanyang imitated him in a rough voice and said, "I, Zhao Changhe, don't eat soft food."

"Huh, have I said this in front of you before?"

"Why bother, you can guess it."

"I feel like you have blindly exaggerated my image in your heart... Give me money, I really need it..."

"Did you say that kind of thing?"

"...Yes."

"Then it's not exaggerated, right?" Cui Yuanyang happily took his hand and said, "Come, I will take you to see my room, it's very cute..."

"Miss." Finally, a servant couldn't help but speak up, "Master Zhao is not suitable to go to your boudoir..."

These servants had been following them for a long time, and their faces were all as if they had eaten shit while watching the young couple flirting.

At this time, Zhao Changhe was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat and was despised by the lord. He had made a three-year agreement, which had not yet been spread outside, but it had already begun to spread within the Cui family... In fact, the Cui family's servants did not think that you could really make it to the top 10 of the Tianbang in three years, so this marriage could be declared over.

Letting you come as a guest was because you were considered Miss's benefactor and not expelled. That was the lord's magnanimity. But you still want to stay and enter the boudoir? What do you want to do when you go in? Huh?So Cui Wenjing would think that this proposal would make Zhao Changhe's reputation very embarrassing. He really didn't care about his own face for Yuanyang's sake.

Yuanyang knew what was going on, and the more she heard others speak of Zhao Changhe like this, the more she couldn't stand it. She turned around, put her hands on her hips, and angrily rebuked, "Who I bring into my chamber is my own business. My father didn't care, so why should you!"

The servant advised, "The master is busy with important matters, how can he have time to explain these things? Miss, you should take care of yourself. This time you left home without permission, haven't you learned your lesson enough?"

Someone else said, "Yes, you see, this man is asking for money as soon as he opens his mouth. This is too...I've never seen anything like it. He must be a bandit."

Zhao Changhe laughed dumbly.

Yuanyang, who was full of anger, was also amused by this remark. She directly took out a gold coin from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhao Changhe's hand. "If he wants money, I'll give him money. Who cares?"

As she spoke, she lifted up on her tiptoes and tried to kiss Zhao Changhe's face. "I even kiss him. If you want my father to manage, go ahead!"

She didn't manage to kiss him, she was too short.

Yuanyang lifted up on her tiptoes and took a little jump, but her forehead was caught by Zhao Changhe.

Yuanyang looked at him angrily, and Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Are you taking advantage of the situation?"

"Hmph." Yuanyang turned her head and avoided his big hand. "Let's go, let's ignore them."

All the servants and maids were dumbfounded. It was broad daylight, and they were kissing...

After walking a circle, Yuanyang realized that she had gone too far. She was treating this as a marriage proposal, but in reality, it wasn't that serious. It was a sign of a falling out.

She couldn't be willful and ruin her father and Zhao's hard work.

She sighed slightly and said, "Oh...then come with me over here..."

"Where?"

"The armory." Yuanyang said, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the wine gourd that Zhao Changhe always carried with him. That gourd had been through storms and rain, and even Zhao Changhe himself didn't know when the knife had cut a hole in it. Surprisingly, the gourd had protected the knife perfectly, but it looked even older. He was reluctant to throw it away.

She glanced over and said seemingly casually, "Zhao ge's knife has a hole in it. I'll find you the best knife that you can carry with you all the time!""Chopping too much will eventually dull the blade...,"

"You... nonsense, there must be a way!"

Zhao Changhe had no idea that the little girl's mind was already thinking about the Shura field. At this moment, her desire for a good sword surpassed all interests. Even if a naked girl was lying in front of him, he would not bother to pay attention. "Okay, okay, I was talking nonsense. Take me to see the swords!"

The Cui family's armory was not just one room, but a whole complex of buildings, heavily guarded. Behind the buildings, there was a path leading to a slightly higher hill, where a small bronze temple could be vaguely seen. Nobody knew what treasures were inside.

Cui Yuanyang personally brought people to the armory. The guards did not stop them, as the eldest daughter of the family had the right to take most of the weapons at will. Cui Yuanyang did not intend to go to the bronze temple on the hill, but instead pulled Zhao Changhe to the right room and said with a smile, "This is where we keep our swords."

Zhao Changhe withdrew his gaze from the bronze temple and whispered, "What's over there?"

"On the hill, behind the bronze temple, is our family ancestral shrine. My father is interrogating someone in there right now..." Cui Yuanyang also unconsciously lowered her voice, "As for the bronze temple, it's where we keep our family's most precious sword, the Qinghe Sword. Oh, and there's also a named sword given by the emperor, which we also treasure."

Having read thousands of novels, Zhao Changhe instinctively felt that there was something going on here.
