"Here comes someone."

After hiding the copper box, Cheng Qiao came to the front hall and gave a light drink.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Xiu Niang walked in gracefully and bowed Yingying.

"Go and prepare two posts, one for Lu Xiangguo and one for your brother. Make up the reasons yourself."

"The first one takes priority. The appointment time is half an hour apart. The time is set after dusk. You decide the specific time."

"We also need to prepare for the banquet."

When Xiu Niang heard this, she secretly complained in her heart. The time is easy to fix, but the reason is not easy to make up. The young master has never entertained Lu Xiangguo, but now that the matter has come to this, she can only do it. Who calls her the young master's personal maid? When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

"Here."

Cheng Qiao waved his hand, Xiu Niang took a few steps back respectfully, turned around and left quickly.



After Xiu Niang left, Cheng Qiao returned to the bed in the inner hall, sat cross-legged and began to practice.

Ever since he came into contact with the method of cultivation in his previous life, Cheng Qiao has been very obsessed with the feeling of getting stronger step by step. That kind of comfortable feeling is more comfortable than going to Hong Kong during the holidays in his previous life, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, rain or snow. Shuang, I have to take time to practice every day.

Cheng Qiao doesn't practice many techniques, and now there are only three, the Golden Light Mantra, the Five Thunder Methods, and the Mind-Purifying Mantra!

Regarding his attitude towards cultivation, Cheng Qiao believed in biting off more than he could chew. In his previous life, he was able to become a Celestial Master at the age of thirty-five. In addition to talent and diligence, concentration was also an important reason.

The Golden Light Curse is a basic cultivation method of the Tianshi Mansion, and all the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion can practice it. Although Cheng Qiao's attainments in the Golden Light Mantra are not as good as those of his disciple Zhang Zhiwei, he can still easily achieve the Golden Light Mantra. .

Tianshidu has no ability to inherit skills. Although he is Zhang Zhiwei's ancestor, he has to admit that his strength in the previous life was not as good as Zhang Zhiwei. If he is a genius, then Zhang Zhiwei is a monster!

In fact, when we say it is cultivation, the more accurate term should be review.

He has long been familiar with what he should practice, even the Yin Wu Lei, which he had never practiced in his previous life. With his proficiency in the Five Thunder Zhengfa, it didn't take long to master the control of the Yin Wu Lei.

Now Cheng Qiao's main focus is on three aspects, one is to accumulate internal energy and improve his skills, the other is to cultivate the mind and soul through the mind-purifying spell, and the third is to exercise the body through thunder.

Work hard with both spirit and spirit, and make progress together!

Chengqiao is already familiar with the first two aspects, but only the third aspect is starting from scratch.

In his previous life, his golden light body protection, thunder body protection, and double defense were all broken by the masters of the five evil sects headed by the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

This made Cheng Qiao deeply feel that his defense was not strong enough. He remembered the thunder body training he had seen in anime and novels in his first life, a method to comprehensively strengthen the physical body, and began to think about it.

Due to his rich training experience and detailed control of thunder, Cheng Qiao finally created a set of thunder body-building methods that combine movement and stillness when he was five years old, and has been practicing it for more than four years now.

I have been practicing diligently for more than four years, and with the help of various precious medicinal materials, the overall quality of the body has improved a lot. It’s hard to say for experts, but ordinary people holding ordinary swords will definitely not be able to break Cheng Qiao’s physical defense. , leaving some white marks at most.

If he continues to practice like this, Cheng Qiao is confident that he can reach the level of Armored Sect Dianqing without turning into muscle lumps. Moreover, compared to Dianqing, his attack power is much more abnormal, and the variety of attack methods is absolutely dazzling. degree.

Coupled with the Pure Mind Mantra to cultivate the mind and soul, and the three aspects of essence, energy and spirit, he has no weaknesses and is invulnerable!

Although the physical defense of the ceremony is impeccable, it is definitely not impeccable in terms of internal strength and spirit. The hard skills of the armored sect cannot be without the blessing of internal strength. Even if the mind is strong, I am afraid that it will be attacked in front of a master of illusion with high skills.

Even if you are blind, you can still be affected by illusions. Your eyes are just one of the mediums for illusions.

Cheng Qiao spent most of the afternoon practicing. The order of practice was the mind-purifying spell, refining internal energy, accumulating skills, static exercises such as thunder and bodybuilding, and finally went to the martial arts field to practice dynamic exercises.

After finishing the practice, he took a shower, got rid of the smelly sweat on his body, and put on clean and refreshing clothes. Then Cheng Qiao picked up a bamboo slip that he was interested in and looked at it.

The two brothers have completely opposite schedules in the afternoon. Ying Zheng's schedule is more civilized and less martial, while Cheng Qiao's schedule is more martial and less literary.

However, this does not mean that Cheng Qiao is worse than Ying Zheng in terms of culture. The knowledge accumulated by the third generation is rich, but the culture he usually displays is worse than Ying Zheng. He cannot steal all the limelight. He is too good and is really scary!



After dusk, when the last ray of light was about to be swallowed up by darkness, Lu Buwei came as requested.

Cheng Qiao personally stood at the door to greet him, with a smile on his face, he bowed his hands and said, "It's really wonderful that the Prime Minister is here."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Lu Buwei returned the gift, put his hands behind his back, looked at Cheng Qiao with a pair of unfathomable eyes, and secretly wondered what he wanted to do with him...

He would never believe the reason stated in the invitation. He was thanking him for his teaching. When did he, Lu Buwei, teach Cheng Qiao? They were on the opposite side and rarely interacted with each other except in public places.

He wanted to see what kind of medicine this second young master Huludi was selling...

"Your Majesty, your Majesty can be said to have embarrassed me."

"Xiang Guo is my brother's teacher, and he and his father are brothers and sisters. How can Cheng Qiao afford this?"

"The Prime Minister calls me Brother Cheng."

In this world, due to Cheng Qiao's butterfly effect, Lu Buwei became Ying Zheng's teacher. As for the title Zhongfu, King Qin Zhuangxiang had not yet passed away. Without Zhao Ji's support, it was naturally impossible to appear.



Zhao Ji was first a dancer at Lu Buwei's mansion, and later became Lu Buwei's concubine. Later, she was attracted by Ying Zichu. Although Lu Buwei was reluctant to let go, in order to change his low social status as a businessman, Zhao Ji reluctantly parted ways with her.

To put it bluntly, Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei are brothers-in-law.

In the Warring States period, when rituals and music collapsed, this kind of thing was nothing more than child's play. Nothing could not happen. It was even more outrageous in the Zhao Kingdom. A prostitute would become the queen of the Zhao Kingdom and the last queen mother in the future.

Although Zhao Ji was born as a dancer, she used to be from a wealthy family. Even if she became a dancer, she would be much nobler than a prostitute. Prostitution has been a profession since ancient times.

Zhao Ji had only three men in her life: Lu Buwei, Ying Zichu, and Lao Ai. She was a woman who believed in love. The queen of Zhao Wangyan had countless men before she became the queen. She was an out-and-out brothel hooker. She is the mother of the last Zhao Wangqian.

Like Zhao Ji, Zhao Wangyan was a man who believed in love. He braved the world's disapproval, withstood various pressures, took a prostitute as his wife, and finally became the queen.

Frankly speaking, I feel that Zhao Wangyan and Zhao Ji are very compatible. They both believe in love very much. However, the men and women they meet do not believe in love. It is so sad!



Is this attitude too low?

Showing courtesy for nothing, committing adultery or stealing, Lu Buwei secretly increased his vigilance.

Based on Chengqiao's performance over the years and the way he escaped from the trap, Lu Buwei did not dare to underestimate him, lest he capsize in the gutter.

"I'd better call you Young Master," Lu Buwei said slowly with a smile on his face, stroking his beard.

"Okay, as long as the Prime Minister is happy."

"The banquet is ready, please."

Cheng Qiao didn't force it, and invited sideways with a smile on his face.

No name can change his plan to blackmail Lu Buwei later. The lever he holds may not be able to control Lu Buwei, but if he carries out the plan according to the plan, Lu Buwei will be disgraced and lose all his face, and his father will also have feelings for Lu Buwei. I doubt it can be done.

Lu Buwei was not polite and walked into the palace with majestic steps.
