Chapter 7 Lu Ming (Five)

A former prince of the previous dynasty who was plundered by the Khitans and had no soldiers in his hands, would have no effect even if he could remember his identity? Apart from making him live in suffering all day long, he had no other effect.

How could Fu Yanqing, Du Chongwei, Gao Xingzhou and other Jiedushi who held heavy troops be willing to let a prince of the previous dynasty live in the people safely? They would either capture the prince as a puppet, just like Liu Zhiyuan tried to do a few days ago. Or they would decisively remove the prince, so as not to give others a free gift.

To take a step back, even if the governors restrain each other, the second prince Shi Yanbao is extremely smart and can cleverly use the princes' fear of each other to seek peace. He can quietly accumulate strength and regain power. How could he let the Chang family go? After all, his father Chang Si is the most trusted arm and last shield of King Liu Zhiyuan of Han. Anyone with insight in the world knows that if you want to get rid of Liu Zhiyuan, you must first kill Chang Kegong!

Although Chang Wanying is young, she is not unaware of it. On the contrary, children like her who have followed her father since childhood and traveled all over the powerful and powerful families of Bianliang are usually very precocious. The reason why she used all kinds of means to drive away the "ghosts" that invaded Shi Yanbao's body and help the other party recover their memories was just because she could not accept the reality that the two of them had changed from lovers to strangers. Now, Taoist Master Jing Xiaoyaozi pointed it lightly and immediately realized how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

A second prince who doesn't know who he is, and his identity is between true and false. For Shi Yanbao at this moment, it is the best choice. If he cannot confirm that his identity is true, he will not have much value and is not worthy of all the efforts of the governors to fight for it. No one dares to risk being ridiculed by heroes in the world to support him as a puppet. However, if he cannot confirm his identity is false, Liu Zhiyuan will not be able to kill him in a short time. After all, the strength of Hedong is not strong enough to fight against all the princes. If he is stigmatized by "regicide", it is equivalent to delivering goods to other princes at home.

In addition, a second prince who lost his memory also lost the hope of re-seizing the throne, and lost the threat to Liu Zhiyuan, Fu Yanqing, Du Chongwei and all local real power figures. Before the country was firmly settled, no one could have much murderous intention to kill such an optional "fat waste". With the current situation, it would probably take ten years, twenty years or even longer for anyone to sit firmly. With such a long time as a buffer, Shi Yanbao may be completely forgotten by others, or find an opportunity to escape into the mountains and seas, and will never be found.

In an instant, Chang Wanying's face became extremely pale, and tears kept sliding across her porcelain-like face. The wisdom inherited from her father had long told her what the best choice was. However, the endless feelings in her heart had broken her internal organs and felt sore.

He gave up and forgot each other from then on. Since he was no longer Shi Yanbao, the vows between the two could be completely regarded as jokes between children. In the future, whether he was regarded as a puppet or a free prince was imprisoned for the rest of his life, it had nothing to do with him. His youth was just right, so why bother with him in humiliation and fear for the rest of his life.

If you try it all out, what if he can return to normal? Even if he becomes a normal person, he will immediately abandon it. At least, at least he is not owed to him. At least, I will not feel too much pain and guilt when I think about it in the future. Those promises that have been made may be just casually and forgotten. But for me, I will only be to one person for the rest of my life. Even if I will put on a wedding dress and take care of my husband and children in the future, it is impossible to make the same promise!

"Oh, injustice! Injustice!" Fu Yaozi pursued the great way all his life, and did not get close to women, and was even more confused about the relationship between men and women. Seeing that his beloved disciple looked miserable and worried, he didn't know how to persuade him. He could only move his legs and walk a little further, sighing and chanting, "Besides, heaven and earth are furnaces, creation is labor! Yin and yang are charcoal, and all things are copper..."

"Wow!" Chang Wanying could no longer hold on when she heard this, hugged her knees with her hands and burst into tears.

When she cried, Fu Yaozi became even more enormous. She turned around, walked a few steps closer, and then frowned and stopped her feet. She said with a little annoyed tone: "Stop crying, what are your real abilities besides crying? We practice Taoism and practiced a quiet and inaction. You can't let it go, and you can't take it off. Why do you follow me to be a female crown?"

"Woo--!" The crying stopped abruptly, Chang Wanying looked at him timidly and cried silently.

This silent cry is more lethal than the sound cry. Fu Yaozi felt sour when she was crying. She frowned again and said in a low voice: "You won't tell me that you practiced in the first place just to learn some pharmacology skills so that you can keep it for the future to be filial to the grandfather? You didn't think that you were really a female Taoist priest, so you could naturally cut off these grievances in the world. It would be difficult for you to study too deeply as a teacher!"

"Master!" Chang Wanying let out a cry of grief and bowed her head to apologize.

She learned pharmacology and martial arts with Fu Yaozi with Shi Yanbao, which was completely fun and did not care about the concepts that Taoism adhered to. However, Fu Yaozi cared for their two little disciples. Especially for her, she could be regarded as a gift. She did not hide any private matters that she offered to learn.

"Okay, it's not the first day that I know what you want to do!" Fu Yaozi was so angry that she had no temper at all, so she had to find a way for herself. "You want to learn the art of Qihuang to cure the old wounds on your grandfather. He wanted to refine elixirs so that his confused father would live forever. It's nothing. Filial pills are the nature of spiritual things in the world. Crows still know how to feed back, so how can they talk about people? Besides, no matter his confused emperor father or your smart grandfather, they have given me many benefits. Of course, I can't take other people's things in vain without any reward."

He said it all in fact. Chang Wanying had no courage to touch it, nor did she know how to touch it. She knelt on the ground, her body was as thin as the bitter apricot in early spring.

Seeing this, Fu Yaozi shook his head and his tone gradually slowed down, "But you can't be too greedy in everything. You can't just recite half of the Huangting Sutra, and hope that you can open up the eight meridians and form elixirs ascend. Since you can't make a decision for the moment, why not let it go temporarily? First pick up the most important thing, and then slowly think about how to settle this evil relationship? Otherwise, if you don't make some preparations as soon as possible, would you still have to wait for your grandfather to lead the army to come up the mountain, and then put the sword on your neck and force him to fulfill your relationship with Shi Yanbao?" (Note 1)

"Master?" Chang Wanying was so scared that she shivered, raised her eyes that were red from crying, and her face was full of confusion.

"Where has your usual shrewdness gone? Could it be contagious if you are stupid?" Fu Yaozi was so angry that he stomped his feet, stretched out a thin finger, and pointed her forehead and scolded her, "Although you used tricks to frame Liu Zhiyuan's two sons that day, you can't stand careful consideration. In other words, Yang Chonggui, a square gentleman, who originally disdained Liu Zhiyuan's act of hijacking women and children, is a half outsider for Hedong, so he is too lazy to continue to interfere. When the evidence falls into the hands of old foxes like Su Fengji, Yang Bin, Guo Wei, who can't see through your foolish tricks? At most, three to five days, they will find out the truth. At that time, it is difficult for others to find you to ask for someone, so how can they not push the matter to your dear grandpa?"

"Then, that..." Chang Wanying's tears were completely scared back. She looked at Fu Yaozi and prayed all over her face.

"You send someone to send a letter to your grandfather, so that he can be prepared in his heart so that he will not be forced into a hurry!" Fu Yaozi sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly, "and then send someone to Liu Zhiyuan's mansion with a fast horse in the name of our Yunfengguan. Remember, the shape of the box should be stranger. The more strange the box is, the better the effect!"

"Does the master want to give Liu Zhiyuan a favor and let him let Senior Brother Eight?" Chang Wanying's mind became extremely clever when she used other things. Following Fu Yaozi's words, she immediately guessed the other party's specific ideas.

"It's not only Shi En, but also a demonstration!" Fu Yaozi glanced at her and said with a lip. "Master has never done such a bad thing in his life. This time, he has completely fallen!"

As if to calm himself down, he shook his head again. He continued to explain, "Liu Zhiyuan is like your grandfather. He likes to eat large pieces of meat and drink big gulp. He has been eating uncontrollable for most of his life and has committed too many murderous crimes. Therefore, his heart is depressed by death energy. If he is a little overjoyed, his eyes will turn black. But he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress his powerful generals, so he is afraid of being jealous. He is afraid that he will not be able to suppress his subordinates, so he is afraid of medical treatment. Your master, I discovered this when I was invited to his mansion last time to explain the way to maintain health. So after coming back, I looked for medicinal materials and refined this elixir. I wanted to use this to make friends with him, and then use his hand to give me some convenience in the north to avoid being angry with the bald donkeys. Now, I have to waste this thing on you two little guys."

"Master, Master, you gave him this elixir. What should I do if he turns his mind to refuse to admit his conspiracy after he eats it?" Chang Wanying was extremely worried about Liu Zhiyuan's character, hesitated for a moment, and whispered to remind him in a low voice.

"There is no dying energy in my heart, so how can it be cured so easily?" Fu Yaozi gave her a blank look and continued to curl her lips gently. "After he took it, he could only make the attacks less often, and the pain was not so severe every time. If he wanted to cure it, he could only stop drinking, meat, eat vegetarian food, and recite scriptures, and never do anything to kill again. How could this be possible for him?"
