Li Ming burst into tears when talking about the past.
His parents died young, and he was raised by his brother Wen Zhaoyu when he was young.
One night more than 20 years ago, Wen Zhaoyu went out to diagnose a patient. Unexpectedly, he caught up in a war and was blocked outside the city.
That night was chaotic.
Qianru's mother Shen was molested by Bingtou. Li Ming rushed up and bit the soldier's head and was stabbed before falling into a pool of blood.
When he woke up, only his brother Wen Zhaoyu was beside him, and his sister-in-law Shen was missing.
Many years later, when they were looking for a living in the capital, they met Shen by chance, but she had become An Xingdao's wife and had a three-year-old boy in her arms.
The deal was done, and Mrs. Shen was doing very well in Anhou Mansion, so the elder brother didn't want to get involved, he just wanted his daughter back.
However, Shen felt that her brother was incapable of protecting his wife and daughter, and refused to hand over Qianru.
But Qianru was in the high-walled compound and they couldn't reach her at all, so they had no choice but to reluctantly let her go.
But the elder brother always thinks about his daughter. Even if he is forced to leave the capital, he will try his best to return here and settle down.
For this reason, Li Ming deliberately approached An Jingheng in order to find out more about his daughter for his brother.
But unexpectedly, he learned about the magical medicinal powder Tianxing from An Jingheng.
It is said that according to the secret recipe passed down by Medicine King Nan Zhongyu, this medicine can be used to prepare a magical medicine to transfer souls. If the amount is large enough, it can also help people cleanse their marrow and become an immortal like Medicine King Nan Zhongyu.
However, successful marrow cleansing does not happen overnight, and the process is extremely painful, requiring you to risk your life and survive.
An Xingdao wanted to cleanse Qianru's marrow, so he mixed Tianxing powder into her medicine since she was a child, and made her suffer in pain little by little until she came back from the dead and the marrow cleansing was successful.
When Wen Zhaoyu listened to his brother's story, he couldn't help covering his face and crying.
"I didn't know that An Xingdao would use Tianxing powder indiscriminately on Qianru. I have no ability to protect her, and I am not worthy of being a father! The only thing I can do to compensate is to give her my own blood."
"Then how did you successfully wash your marrow? Why don't you look as light as a swallow?" Liu Ang said.
"I was sent to Xiyue Mountain by my parents to become a disciple since I was a child. I am the youngest disciple of Medicine King Nan Zhongyu. He washed my marrow. Qianru's symptoms of lightness are caused by the abuse of Tianxing powder. It is said that too much is not as good as right."
"When Xiyue Mountain was massacred, how did you survive?"
Wen Zhaoyu choked up and said: "That incident is not what people say at all. Mu Xue'e besieged Xiyue Mountain in order to snatch the Tianxing powder. She did not want the Tianxing powder to be used by others, and let the eldest son's family follow in the footsteps of the previous royal family.
.And I was hidden in the alchemy furnace by my master at that time, so I luckily escaped."
Qianru, who knew her life experience, seemed to have been hit by a bolt from the blue, and she couldn't accept it for a long time.
Is the relationship between father, daughter, and brother in the past all false?
However, this incident made Shangguan Yuan completely unable to tolerate An Xingdao and his son.
Today, Anjia occupies the largest territory.
Secondly, there was Changsun Yu, whose uncle and nephew Changsun Ji occupied seven counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
Then there are the three forces of Zheng Xiao, Xu Youxiong and the Xiao family that are relatively strong.
In the current situation, if they abandon An Xingdao, they can only go to Changsun Yu's uncle and nephew, only they may sincerely accept them.
So, everyone discussed the strategy and went south to seek refuge with Changsun Yu.
It happened that An Jingheng's southern expedition was not going well.
Shangguan Yuan offered to help, and An Xingdao naturally wanted to help.
However, An Xingdao was a little hesitant about taking Qianru with him.
"I have captured seven counties for you, why don't you believe me? Besides, An Jingheng is still here, how can he let me do whatever I want?"
In order to capture Changsun Yu's territory as soon as possible, An Xingdao nodded and agreed.
Shangguan Yuan took Qianru on the expedition as he wished, and Wen Zhaoyu and Li Ming accompanied him to take care of her.
Li Ming and Yi Zhonglun were acquainted with each other and helped them communicate with Changsun Yu secretly.
The two sides cooperated internally and externally, and defeated An Jingheng's southern expedition army.
The news spread back to the capital, and An Xingdao was furious. He wanted to kill all the people who were close to them to relieve their anger, but he couldn't catch any of them.
It turned out that Wen Zhaoyu's family members, including Li Ming's wife Zhao Xian'er, had quietly escaped with Jin Chan, a man from Liujiazhuang.
Luo Yang, Liu Songju and his wife, who had been searching for their daughter for several years to no avail, heard that their father and nephew had defected to Changsun Yu, so they also rushed to get together.
Changsun Yu won a great victory here, gained many generals, greatly increased his strength, and regained the counties south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.
At the same time, Zheng Xiao, who learned that Shangguan Yuan had defected to the Ming Dynasty, took the opportunity to sneak attack on Anxing Road and regain the lost ground in one fell swoop.
Xu Youxiong and the Xiao family also seized the opportunity to encroach on the An family's Dazheng Kingdom.
In less than a year, the Dazheng Kingdom ceased to exist, and both the An family and his son died at the hands of Zheng Xiao.
The following year, the Xiao family could not withstand the encirclement of Xu Youxiong and Zheng Xiao, and surrendered to Changsun Yu.
Daxuan's army sent its troops north to rescue and won consecutive battles. They sent troops with the Xiao family to the west to wipe out Xu Youxiong's troops, and then defeated Zheng Xiao.
On his way to abandon the city and flee north, Zheng Xiao left his eldest grandson Chanjuan behind to serve as bait in the capital.
Changsun Chanjuan hatched a group of golden butterflies beyond the Great Wall while in confinement.
In order to take revenge, she managed to lure Qianru there.
The group of poisonous butterflies surrounded Qianru as soon as they saw her.
Just like a few years ago, Qianru was bitten by a group of people.
Jindie is the nemesis of Tianxing Fen. Changsun Chanjuan thought that Qianru would definitely die, so she laughed wildly and committed suicide.
Little did she know that the golden butterfly she cultivated just right eliminated the excess toxicity of Tianxing powder in Qianru's body and turned her into a normal person.
And he retains the same magical physique as his father Wen Zhaoyu.
The following year, a healthy and lovely son was born.
