Chapter 203 Secret Talk(1/2)
Luo Yuheng needs a man who is lucky enough to practice dual cultivation. She became a national master, but she has been unwilling to practice dual cultivation with Emperor Yuan Jing...
Taoist priest Jinlian probably knew about my luck. Taoist priest Jinlian asked Luo Yuheng for medicine many times and asked me to go there by name...
Before setting off for Chuzhou, Luo Yuheng asked Chu Yuanzhen to give me a talisman sword...
When I was guarding the lotus seeds in Jianzhou, Taoist Priest Jinlian forcibly gave me the amulet and asked me to call Luo Yuheng in a critical moment, and she really came...
Various seemingly reasonable or unreasonable details flashed through Xu Qian's mind one by one.
If you want to do this, my head will be big! There was a complicated look on his face.
"But I heard that the Imperial Master did not choose to practice dual cultivation with Yuan Jing."
Xu Qian calmed down and spoke in a chatty tone.
The princess looked up, showing a thoughtful expression, and shook her head:
"Hmm...I don't know about that. I often advise her to just commit herself to Emperor Yuan Jing. If she chooses the emperor as his Taoist companion, she won't be wronged.
"But she seems to be dissatisfied with Emperor Yuan Jing. She is dissatisfied in every aspect. No, I can feel her dislike of Emperor Yuan Jing."
Disliked in all aspects, not just because of lack of luck... Xu Qian's eyes flashed and asked:
"A woman with a master's level of cultivation should not pay attention to formal etiquette such as three obediences and four virtues like ordinary women."
The princess said "Yeah": "Of course Luo Yuheng doesn't, but what does choosing a Taoist partner have to do with red tape? Choosing a Taoist partner is a matter of extreme caution."
This Luo Yuheng is a shark... Xu Qian's heart sank.
Dual cultivation means choosing a Taoist partner. This shows that Luo Yuheng is cautious about matters between men and women. Therefore, after inspecting Emperor Yuan Jing, she really just used her luck to suppress the karma and never thought of having sex with him.
Double cultivation.
If my guess just now is true, Luo Yuheng is also checking me out.
Once she thinks she might as well try practicing dual cultivation with me, it means she has to choose a Taoist partner.
Considering how much my aunt values Taoist companions and her status as a second-grade master, as long as she chooses me, will the fish in my fish pond still have a way to survive?
If you do this, my head will suddenly become bigger again... He complained in his heart.
Everything has its pros and cons. The good thing is that I have one more trump card. If I have to in the future, I can sell myself to Luo Yuheng in exchange for rewards.
Of course, the premise is that she is satisfied with me and puts me at the top of the candidate list for Taoist companions.
Well, find an opportunity to test her.
"Why do you ask so clearly?" the princess asked suspiciously.
"If I can become a Taoist companion to such a beautiful lady like the Imperial Master, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated for eight lifetimes." Xu Qian pretended to be emotional.
"Stop dreaming. With your little capital, how could Luo Yuheng fall in love with you?"
The princess's reaction was unexpectedly loud, and she was ridiculed.
Then, she casually touched the Bodhi bracelet on her wrist and said lightly: "Luo Yuheng's appearance is certainly good, but to say that he has conquered a country and conquered a city would be an overstatement."
After saying that, she raised her chin and looked at Xu Qian.
This posture is clearly saying "look at me, look at me" and "I am the most beautiful woman in Dafeng".
Xu Qian sneered disdainfully: "Go back home and look in the mirror."
The princess was furious and picked up pebbles to hit him.
"Okay, okay, the Imperial Master is far behind you." Xu Qian said perfunctorily.
The princess was still unwilling to give in. She held the Bodhi bracelet and insisted on showing her true face to this boy, so that he could know whether Luo Yuheng was more beautiful or she was more beautiful.
"Think carefully, this is the capital. If you take off the bracelet, Si Tianjian may bring officers and soldiers to arrest you tomorrow." Xu Qian threatened.
The princess immediately became frightened.
Jian is Jian Zheng, and Si Tianjian is Si Tianjian. What Jian Zheng knows, Si Tianjian's other magicians may not know. If they discover the princess's magnificent appearance, they may turn around and report it to the palace.
Although Xu Qi'an could stop him, it would also expose his secret hiding of Prince Huai's widow.
Once a secret is known, it is difficult to keep it.
In addition, there is a little secret that cannot be told. He is afraid of seeing the princess's true appearance. The hidden woman is too dazzling and perfect, and she is not like a common thing in the world.
Even when facing a mediocre woman, Xu Qi'an could still feel that his affection for her was growing day by day. If he saw that stunning beauty again, Xu Qi'an could not guarantee that he would not do something to her tonight.
For example, let her understand what it means to be ready.
Although Xu Qian's admiration for Luo Yuheng made Da Feng's most beautiful woman feel uncomfortable, overall, she was quite happy today.
So the next morning, before Xu Qi'an left, she gave Xu Qi'an something to eat.
............
"It's sticky and mushy. It's obviously overcooked. There's so much chicken essence. Are you trying to kill me... Let her try my craft another day and learn from it."
Xu Qi'an complained as he entered the hook fence, changed his appearance, changed his clothes, and returned home.
After practicing for two hours, he mounted the little mare and rode to a high-end Goulan restaurant.
After waiting for a long time in the familiar box, Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao arrived belatedly, wearing watchmen uniforms, tied with gongs, and carrying sabers.
Because we had to talk about business, we didn't order any girls. The three of them sat around the table, watching the opera in the lobby below, drinking and eating peanuts.
"What happened to the matter you were asked to investigate?" Xu Qian kicked Song Tingfeng.
"Last night, a group of guys in black robes did indeed enter the inner city through the gate of the south city. They also warned the city guards not to leak out. Hehe, the Yankees from Chuzhou have no idea who owns the capital.
.I spent a penny to get information from the soldiers on duty last night."
Song Tingfeng took a sip of wine, clicked his tongue, and said: "They did not enter the imperial city. They disappeared after entering the inner city. I asked the silver gongs who patrolled the imperial city to inquire this morning. It is true that no one saw them.
A group of secret agents entered the imperial city."
Didn’t enter the imperial city?
Is Hengyuan imprisoned somewhere in the inner city? No, it is also possible that he was sent to the imperial city or even the imperial palace through secret channels, just like Ping Yuanbo secretly sent the abducted people into the imperial city.
"The Taoist Master said that Master Hengyuan's life will not be in danger in the short term. The time left for us should be quite generous and we should not be too anxious. If Hengyuan is brought into the palace, then while we rescue him, we will inevitably break with Emperor Yuan Jing
.
"If this is the case, I have to prepare an escape route in advance and be prepared. I cannot rush to save people..."
As thoughts flickered, Xu Qian said: "Let me inform the brothers patrolling the streets. If you notice anything unusual in the inner city, or see spies in black robes and masks, you must notify me in time."
Zhu Guangxiao nodded and said "Yeah".
Song Tingfeng suddenly said: "By the way, I heard that in three days, the envoy from the Northern Demons and Barbarians will enter Beijing."
The demon and barbarian envoys entered the capital? The two demon and barbarian tribes had just joined forces to defeat the Chuzhou City. How long had it passed before they dared to enter the capital? Xu Qian frowned:
"I didn't hear about it."
Song Tingfeng said "Hey": "Your Majesty held a small court meeting yesterday to discuss this matter secretly. Jiang Jinluo revealed it when he took us to drink in Jiaofangsi last night."
I know about the war in the north. According to the lag in the transmission of news, the war in the north should have started long ago. But even so, the northern demons and barbarians sent a delegation to Beijing, which is enough to show that the war is not going well...
.Xu Qian muttered:
"The two tribes of monsters and barbarians are too helpless to ask for help so quickly?"
The northern demon barbarians, Dafeng and the Wushen Cult are in a check and balance relationship among the three.
Song Tingfeng said: "Jingguo's cavalry is the best in Kyushu. Before the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the barbarian cavalry could compete with the Jingguo cavalry. After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, all the strong barbarians were killed and injured. Now it is the Jingguo cavalry that dominates the Kyushu."
"I think the war in the north won't last too long, and the northern barbarians won't survive this year."
Zhu Guangxiao added: "After the death of Ji Li Zhigu, the demon and barbarian tribes only have one Zhu Jiu, and the Witch God Sect has no shortage of high-quality strong men. Moreover, the battlefield is the home field of wizards, and the Witch God Sect's ability to control corpse soldiers is extremely terrifying."
Zhu Jiu had experienced the battle in Chuzhou City and had not recovered from his serious injuries, so it was reasonable to think so...Xu Qi'an nodded.
Zhu Guangxiao sighed: "Compared with the declining national power of Dafeng, the national power of the Three Kingdoms under the jurisdiction of the Wushen Sect is thriving. If it weren't for Wei Gong..."
Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng were watchmen and supervisors of all officials. They had good vision and could clearly detect the weakening of Dafeng's national power.
One year is worse than the next.
However, the sentiments of concern for the country and the people were soon replaced by the delicate laughter of the little ladies.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao each picked a beautiful woman, hugged them and went into the house to work hard.
Xu Qian sat alone at the table, drinking wine silently and looking down at the opera in the lobby with no expression.
............
At night, Xu Erlang's study.
Xu Qi'an held the tea cup and after listening to Xu Erlang's recitation, he frowned and said, "Is that all?"
"There have been a lot of things going on in the Hanlin Academy recently. The imperial court has to revise the Military Book, and I don't have much time to memorize the late emperor's daily records." Xu Erlang explained helplessly.
"Replying the Military Book?"
"It is a common practice to revise military books every time there is a war." Xu Erlang took a sip of tea and said:
"Let me tell you something. In three days, the envoy from the Northern Demon Barbarians will enter the capital. The war in the north is raging, and if nothing unexpected happens, the imperial court will send troops to support the Demon Barbarians.
To be continued...
