C597 Covered in Clothes
In Zhang Jingxuan's opinion, the visitor must be feeling guilty as well. He was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, except for his low voice. More so in a hurry. He and Fu Lin seemed to have reached some sort of agreement very quickly. Therefore, it didn't take long for them to hear the guests saying their goodbyes in a hurry.
All of this, if it wasn't for Zhang Jingxuan having nothing to do to cultivate this divine skill that didn't require him to use his hands and feet, he was afraid that it would only happen not too far away from him, and he wouldn't be able to detect it at all.
Zhang Jingxuan was quite satisfied with the result of this test, but he couldn't bear the disturbance of the curse. Therefore, he could only stop his cultivation and let himself fall into the darkness once again. He might as well continue to practice his eyesight.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Jingxuan had achieved a small success in his cultivation and had entered a bottleneck. It was extremely difficult for him to improve again. There were still things he could do before, and he could get rid of some distracting thoughts. However, now that he had some free time, all sorts of thoughts surged into his mind. He could not get rid of them. If anyone could be present, they would discover that Zhang Jingxuan was in the darkness. His eyes were lowered, and his brows were tightly knitted. It seemed like he was very anxious.
However, it didn't take long before Zhang Jingxuan opened his eyes and smiled at him in the darkness. Bad emotions should not be immersed in it, so he had to come out in time.
Although he was smiling, a large part of it was to encourage himself. His body seemed to be moving day by day, but his speed was too slow. He was still thousands of miles away from recovery.
There were so many things waiting for him to do. There were so many friends waiting for him to protect them. However, he could only lie there now. He was overjoyed just by moving his fingers every day. How could he do that?
In his slight anxiety, he suddenly thought of something important. That feeling of being within his reach yet not being able to touch was really driving him crazy.
However, at this moment, he heard familiar footsteps approaching from afar.
Zhang Jingxuan couldn't help but think to himself, Why did he have to come at this time to cause trouble if he didn't come early or late?
He couldn't wait to shout out loud, Get away from me! If you have something to do, come back later!
However, he also knew that with his current strength... Even if he used all his strength to shout out loud, Fu Lin, who was standing outside, wouldn't be able to hear a single sound. He could only hope that Fu Lin was just passing by.
Unfortunately, it seemed like the heavens didn't fulfill his wish. Zhang Jingxuan could only helplessly hear the sound of the key opening.
This room had to be locked every time. Before this, Zhang Jingxuan had felt bad about being imprisoned. Ever since he heard the curses and curses that day, he felt that it was not bad to be locked up. At least his safety was a lot more guaranteed.
When Fu Lin entered, he brought along a strange gust of wind at the same time. Today, Fu Lin looked a little different. However, because Zhang Jingxuan's train of thought had been interrupted, he was not in a good mood. Therefore, he did not bother to pay attention to him.
"Mr. Zhang, I have some things to deal with these few days, so I have neglected you. Don't blame me."
It seemed like Fu Lin really did have some good news. That kind of feeling of being proud of himself was so close that it could be described with words.
Zhang Jingxuan was also curious. Since his train of thought had been interrupted, Fu Lin did not do it on purpose. It was not meaningful for him to lose his temper with Fu Lin. He looked up at Fu Lin, who looked strange today.
This time, he immediately understood where this strange feeling came from.
The one from before. Fu Lin had always been wearing Han clothing. Most of them were simple and high-quality long robes, and he wore a small hat on his head. He only looked scholarly and refined.
Today, he had finally changed his attire.
Today, he had changed into a dark brown long robe. He wore a bright yellow vest on the outside, and the robe inside was different. When the sleeves reached the end of the robe, they gradually expanded into the shape of a horse's hoof. He wore a blue white dragon patterned belt around his waist, and a cold cap inlaid with jade on his head. A patch of pale white forehead was revealed. Zhang Jingxuan knew that he had returned to his full attire. This was the first time he had truly seen a full set of clothes. He found it very interesting, but for some reason, he found it funny.
Perhaps it was because Fu Lin had a good appearance and an outstanding temperament, but Zhang Jingxuan didn't find it strange or uncomfortable when he saw a full person's outfit for the first time.
Even so, the funny look in his eyes still made Fu Lin, who was in high spirits, feel a little hurt.
However, it couldn't be helped. In terms of clothes and culture, the ancient China was naturally respected. It was already good enough that the other barbaric lands weren't looked down upon.
He decided that it was better not to be entangled in this matter.
However, this kind of injury had also planted a seed in his heart, allowing him to create a great disaster that would bring disaster to the entire China in the future. This was something that the two of them currently did not expect.
"What is so worthy of His Highness the Ninth Prince being so happy about?"
Zhang Jingxuan also felt that it was not good to laugh at the Ninth Prince, so he took the initiative to speak.
However, when he saw Fu Lin turning his head slightly and dragging a pigtail that looked like a little animal's tail behind him, he finally could not hold back and laughed very insincerely.
Fu Lin's expression changed several times. His good mood at the beginning was almost gone.
Humph! You are laughing at me today. If everyone is like me, will you still laugh at everyone in the world?
Sometimes, history changed its trajectory because of insignificant matters. It was silent.
Fu Lin's calmness was not practiced overnight after all. He recovered very quickly, at least on the surface.
"There are a few happy things. Haha, but some of them may not be good news to you. Let's not talk about other things. Now that we can finally set off and go home, it is something to be happy about. And you don't have to be so aggrieved anymore. Didn't you always want to see the sea? Now you can finally do as you wish."
Fu Lin indeed had many things to be happy about.
First of all, they had agreed to become a strong ally of the Ming Dynasty. Every time, a solid fortress was often broken through from the inside. Such a great achievement could naturally be used as a capital for him to compete after he returned to the dynasty.
Secondly, he received news that the two Lonely Cities, Ning Yuan and Zhen Yuan, that Yuan Chenghuan had built in Liaodong, had already fallen. Yuan Chonghuan's old division leader's birthday was bitterly waiting for reinforcements. After desperately holding on for more than half a year... He had no choice but to negotiate and surrender. The Qing troops had also suffered under these two cities, and now that the old division leader's birthday had proposed to surrender, they had no choice but to surrender. They immediately ignored their previous grievances and agreed to his conditions.
From now on, outside of Shanhai Pass, the Knights of Qing Dynasty could ride their horses and run without any hindrance. As for Ming Dynasty, they could only hide inside Shanhai Pass. They could only passively defend and had almost no power to fight back.
