After the old man emerged from the soil, he restored the grave pit to its original state, checked that there were no flaws, and then quietly left Huangling Ridge.
He is indeed Lenglie, the Lenglie who has aged for twenty years.
Five years ago, he met Leng Qingxiu and asked Leng Qingxiu for a poison.
It must be said that Leng Qingxiu is a well-deserved poisonous girl. She has mastered the supreme poison skills of the Leng family. Some of her poison recipes are even unmatched by Leng Yanqiu.
It is a poison that can make people fake death. Even Leng Yanqiu's level cannot distinguish the authenticity from the fake. The only characteristic of the poison is that the poisoned person needs twenty years to be reborn.
Leng Lie died in the hands of Ximen Xianchu after being poisoned. He used his "death" body to mutate his body. Twenty-four hours later, he was resurrected, but his body looked like he had aged twenty years.
However, this fifty-year-old appearance will continue to accompany him for twenty years, and he will not continue to grow old until he actually reaches this age. In other words, his life span will not be reduced, but will be shortened from thirty to fifty years.
The process in between.
Thirty-year-old Leng Lie suddenly became a fifty-year-old man, with wrinkles all over his face. Even if he was stared at, there would be no trace of disguise at all, and it would be his true appearance.
There is nothing more convincing than "reality". Even if people who know Leng Lie see it, they will at most think that this old man looks like dead Leng Lie. Who can imagine what Leng Lie will be like when he gets old?
After packing up, Leng Lie went to the clean room, which was a place outside the palace specifically for recruiting eunuchs.
A man in his twenties had just been purified and was still unsteady when walking. He was urged by the deacon of the purification room to grab a hangtag and rush towards the small gate of the palace, where there were people waiting to bring these new eunuchs into the palace.
.
There are not many people to clean the house, and the palace does not particularly need people. In addition, in the past few years, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, few people are hungry and want to sell themselves. Occasionally, someone comes, and if the paperwork and information are complete, they will be processed. When there is no one,
Very relaxing.
Leng Lie sneaked into the ** and when no one was on guard, he killed the man who had just cleansed himself and threw him into the toilet pit. He took the man's tag and walked towards the small door of the **.
Within a day, someone in the cleaning room discovered the body that had been thrown into the pit. He was just a new eunuch with no way out. He didn't dare to let anyone know that there was something wrong with the cleaning room, so no one dared to announce it.
The matter was revealed quietly without anyone mentioning it.
"Zhou Wu?" The guard responsible for picking up the person took the tag from Leng Lie and looked at Leng Lie doubtfully.
The person's age recorded on the tag was twenty-five, but the person in front of him was clearly an old man in his fifties.
"Yes." Leng Lie cupped his hands towards the guard and said, "Sir, I have contracted a strange disease since I was a child. I look old, but my physical strength is undoubtedly that of my prime."
Seeing Leng Lie's neat demeanor, the guard doubtfully pointed to a few thick tree trunks standing in the corner next to him, "Go and pick up those logs."
Leng Lie walked over without saying a word, easily picked up a tree trunk, moved the trunk to the other corner, and then went to pick up the second one. After a while, several tree trunks had changed their positions.
"Sir, how are you?" Leng Lie clapped his hands, looking like he was working hard.
"If you are so capable, why did you become a eunuch in the palace?"
"Sir, why do you have to ask this question to me?" Hearing the guard's question, he cried coldly, "Look at me like this. I have no problem with my work, but I'm still so old, just like my father-in-law...
…”
"Hahaha...I understand...I understand..." Several guards laughed, indicating that they understood what Leng Lie meant.
Anyway, he has the body of a eunuch, so it would be a pity not to enter the palace and become a real eunuch. Outside, there is no future, but once he enters the palace, if he serves any master well, he might even be able to gain wealth.
"Let's go, let's not waste time!" Another guard waved his hand impatiently.
This is the only eunuch picked up today. Together with the ones from the previous two days, there is just enough for a batch to be sent to the palace.
Leng Lie followed the group of people into the palace with Zhou Wu's tag in his arms, but that didn't mean he had succeeded. He had to go through some inspections before entering the palace.
However, this is not a problem.
"See Your Highness!"
As soon as the guards and others entered the palace, they met Ximen Xianchu.
Ximen Xianchu, dressed in white, stood on the main road of the palace gate, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Have you met Grandpa Xuan?" Ximen Xianchu stood in front of the group of people.
He knew that Ximen Jingxuan had left the palace, so he asked Ximen Jingxuan specifically.
"Your Highness, I am a seventh-rank servant. How can I meet Prince Xuan?" one of the guards said.
"If you haven't seen me, you haven't seen me. What nonsense!" Ximen Xianchu said with a serious face and looked at the few people following the guard, "Are they all new father-in-law?"
"Go back to Your Highness, that's right. I'm going to take them for a physical examination," the guard replied.
"Look at all of them, their faces are pale and they can't walk steadily. It looks like they just became father-in-law." Ximen Xianchu walked towards the group of people, looked at them one by one, and finally stopped in front of Leng Lie, "This man is so old.
Come to be the father-in-law?"
He bowed coldly and bowed his back to Ximen Xianchu.
"Come here!" Ximen Xianchu hooked his little finger at Leng Lie.
"You are so old, you must know a lot of things, right? Tell your highness about the wild things outside to relieve your boredom." Ximen Xianchu gave the order in a tone that could not be disobeyed.
Children born in the Tian family have this ability to control others since childhood.
"This..." Leng Lie hesitated.
"Hurry up and serve your highness!" Seeing Zhou Wu's slow response, the guards on the side quickly reminded and urged him.
This is the little prince, the only son of the emperor. The future prince or even the emperor will be very lucky to be chosen by His Highness at a glance.
If this man is lucky, the few guards who escort him to the palace will be able to take advantage of him.
"Yes, yes." Leng Lie responded carefully while following Ximen Xianchu away in the envious eyes of everyone.
As for the physical examination... Those guards are not worried. Who has the guts to pretend to be cleansed? At least I have never heard of such a thing in the past few decades. The so-called physical examination is nothing more than a routine thing, a formality, what's the point?
Is it better than trying to please the little prince?
Ximen Xianchu brought Leng Lie to a secluded place. He sat on a stone bench, and Leng Lie stood humbly in front of him.
Looking from a distance, it seems like you are really listening to what an old man is saying.
"Are you really alive again?" Ximen Xianchu blinked and looked at Leng Lie.
Although Leng Lie had already told him the whole plan of Jin Chan's escape, he was still surprised when he saw the much older Leng Lie.
It is extraordinary for a child to be able to hide this surprise in front of everyone.
