"It seems that you have figured out my situation?" Cheng Sanwu was not polite and put his arms around Afu's waist.
The dominatrix didn't resist, and said with a smile: "I can't just come to you without knowing anything, right? Although I'm not sure yet, I guess that the two sets of meridians in your body are not born, but man-made."
Cheng Sanwu's masters groped up and down, enjoying the graceful curves, while asking: "Are you not allowed to be gifted?"
"This matter can deceive others, but it cannot deceive me." Afu confessed frankly: "You have always said that I am a yaksha. Have you ever thought that the yaksha is not a normal person, maybe closer to the dead."
Cheng Sanwu blinked and whispered: "No, this doesn't feel like a corpse."
"Of course I'm not a corpse, just an approximation." Afu pointed at the tip of Sanwu's nose: "Anquiti manipulates skeletons and corpses, using magic to make dead people look like living creatures. And we Yaksha... or vampires
, is to make living people become like dead things, not aging, not tired, and no matter how injured they are, they can recover as before."
"Change?" Cheng Sanwu noticed a clue in Afu's words.
"Do you think anyone is born a vampire?" Afu showed a somewhat lonely expression, but it disappeared in an instant and smiled brightly: "In short, after I became a vampire, I was no longer a human. I came to the Central Plains in order to cultivate.
I spent a lot of time studying internal and external martial arts to build a set of meridians in my body."
"Forged... meridians?" Cheng Sanwu showed an incredulous expression and stopped moving his hands.
"The meridians of the human body move Qi, maintain vitality, and nourish the muscles and bones. If they are cultivated internally, they can maintain the body's shape, and they can be used externally to transport energy and exert force." Afu said: "Any martial arts that involves internal cultivation of kung fu is nothing more than this.
”
"I don't understand." Cheng Sanwu interrupted: "You are already a vampire and are very capable, why do you still need to practice martial arts?"
"The Vampires are immortal, but the price is to constantly drink blood to satisfy their hunger." Afu's green eyes flashed with a strange red light, and her tongue gently licked her lips: "Especially the babies and girls, they are full of vitality, and their blood is like fine wine.
."
Cheng Sanwu looked slightly solemn: "Yaksha was regarded as a demon and was driven out and killed. It is not unjust."
Afu smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, when a large group of us vampires came to the Central Plains and saw people everywhere, we thought we could have a good drink. Who would have thought that you have so many masters here that even the old farmers in the countryside will be angry when they are annoyed?
A crowd gathered to besiege. Many of my family members did not die at the hands of Buddhist and Taoist masters, but were pierced by old farmers with spears and dragged to death under the scorching sun."
"It seems you are still afraid of the sun." Cheng Sanwu smiled and waved his hand, the sound was crisp and full of touch.
Afu was shaken by the whipping, and said angrily: "You're trying to push the envelope, right?"
"You can go down if you don't like it. How can there be a good girl like you?" Cheng Sanwu laughed.
Afu snorted lightly, but did not criticize her harshly, and continued: "Among the vampires, one's status also determines the strength of one's abilities. I am not afraid of the sun. But if I don't drink blood for a long time, my strength will decline greatly. I don't want to do it for no reason.
I provoked powerful people, so I decided to find another way. In the end, I chose to expand my veins and dig out my orifices, create a set of meridians in my body, and use martial arts to make up for the shortcomings."
"That's it."
Afu stretched out her hand and caressed Cheng Sanwu's shoulders and chest, as if appreciating a precious artifact: "There are many talents in the Central Plains, and there have been many heroes in the past. It is not my unique invention to expand the veins and dig out the orifices. Ever since I learned that you have double veins, I
I expected it to be the work of an expert."
Cheng Sanwu fell into silence after hearing this. Afu saw his eyes dodge and his expression was complicated, so he smiled and said: "I don't have to ask about your origins. You are not the only one in the world who has secrets. But I still want to tell you about your past actions.
, it’s not like no one knows about it. For example - the Heyang murder case."
Afu could feel Cheng Sanwu's muscles all over being slightly tense. It was not the fear of having his secret revealed, but the fact that he was trying to avoid the past.
"Do you think you did something wrong?" Afu asked: "If you were asked to go back to those days and choose again, would you let go of the Sun family?"
Cheng Sanwu's face darkened, and he spoke after a long time: "No, I will still do it, but maybe... I won't kill so many people."
"Didn't you restrain that big black sheep back then?" Afu suppressed her smile. She always felt that Cheng Sanwu's metaphor was unreasonable. How could that terrifying power be described as an animal?
Cheng Sanwu shook his head and said: "No, that's me."
"Ordinary people often shirk their emotions when they make big mistakes." Afu didn't expect Cheng Sanwu to admit it directly.
"When you are emotionally depressed, it's still you." Cheng Sanwu stopped thinking about enjoying his beautiful body, closed his eyes, and collapsed motionless.
Afu stared at Cheng Sanwu for a while, and suddenly realized that she might have made a mistake in her judgment. Cheng Sanwu was not a monster in human skin. He had emotions, likes and dislikes consistent with ordinary people, and was much more vivid than herself. p>
He will get angry, make mistakes, and regret. He is more willing to act according to his likes and dislikes than to make cold calculations, which is why he appears reckless and stupid. This is indeed not pretentious.
"Don't talk about that." Afu turned over and sat up, no longer teasing the other party: "I will find you martial arts secrets later. You have two veins and are a rare martial arts wizard in the world. You only rely on those rough sword skills.
, what a waste."
Afu has now roughly figured out Cheng Sanwu's situation. Although he can activate the hidden terrifying power, he cannot do it arbitrarily.
Although the theory of shouldering the burden is a little crude, it is enough to prove that Cheng Sanwu almost tried his best to compete with the "big black sheep". Only by improving his internal and external cultivation can he have the margin to control the terrifying power.
An ordinary person would not be able to do this. But Cheng Sanwu has two meridians and can practice with only one set of meridians.
"What kind of martial arts secret book is it?" Cheng Sanwu asked curiously, and his depression was gone.
"I won't talk about it yet." Afu felt relieved when she saw that he was not completely depressed. She moved her body, lowered her feet, raised her embroidered shoes with her toes and put them on. Her movements were light, as if she could draw away the man's soul.<
/p>
"If you don't say it, don't say it!" Cheng Sanwu turned around angrily and faced the couch screen.
"One more thing." Afu reminded: "That little kid Changqing is not a fool. In order to save Gui Yatou, you showed your wisdom and plan. How are you going to explain to him?"
"What's the explanation for this? It's not adultery." Cheng Sanwu didn't care.
"He is the son of Prime Minister Lu." Afu suddenly said.
"Who?!" Cheng Sanwu turned around suddenly and said in surprise.
"Lu Yan is the Secretary of the Imperial Court and concurrently serves as the Minister of Public Affairs Zuopushe." Afu said, "I received news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Prime Minister Lu is planning to meet Chang Qing."
"Do your internal ministers even have to deal with things like father and son recognizing each other? Isn't it too busy?" Cheng Sanwu couldn't help but laugh.
"Master Changqing will enter the palace to meet the saint on the winter solstice. Of course we, the Minister of Internal Affairs, must be prepared." Afu turned back and looked at Cheng Sanwu: "People like you stay around fake Taoist priests all day long. How can Prime Minister Lu be prepared?"
Not necessarily happy to see it."
"Prime Minister Lu has a lot of things to do every day. It's not easy for Old Su to meet him. How could he know that I'm such a wanderer?" Cheng Sanwu looked unconcerned.
Afu pondered carefully. After the Heyang massacre, Cheng Sanwu fled westward. When he passed through Guanzhong, the army was chasing him everywhere. Seeing that a fierce battle was about to begin, the Prime Minister Lu asked him to withdraw his troops and allowed Cheng Sanwu to flee to the Western Regions. At first, she thought that Prime Minister Lu should be aware of Cheng Sanwu's origins and background through his actions. But he allowed Cheng Sanwu to get along with Chang Qing, which became extremely unreasonable.
Then I thought about it again, would Prime Minister Lu really care about a concubine whom he had not seen for many years because of his high position? The reason for meeting each other now is probably because Daguan Daguan entered the palace in the winter solstice and built a relationship in time.
Moreover, Prime Minister Lu and Duke Fei Mu of Huo Kingdom have always been at odds with each other. He believed that he relied on Yuan Cong's merits to show favor to His Majesty. He was arrogant and arrogant, and repeatedly promoted his slaves and asked for official positions. It was reasonable for Prime Minister Lu to obstruct Wang Feimu in apprehending the murderer of the murder.
.
"This little kid, why didn't you tell me earlier about such a big thing?" Cheng Sanwu stood up and patted his thigh: "I'll go find him!"
"I advise you not to go." Afu said coldly.
"Why?" Cheng Sanwu was puzzled.
"Changqing had a lot of complaints against Prime Minister Lu in the past, not because of his manipulation of power, but because of the discord between father and son." Afu said: "It is difficult for upright officials to deal with family affairs, so don't interfere with this matter."
Cheng Sanwu scratched his head, still puzzled: "Who is his biological father? Is it that important?"
"Of course ordinary people don't have such worries." Afu sneered.
Cheng Sanwu said with emotion: "It's better to be an ordinary person. I just want to be an ordinary person."
……
Seeing hundreds of royal guards with bright armor and silver halberds walking by, Cheng Sanwu secretly wondered if he could put them aside for now. These royal guards are really majestic and can be used as a guard of honor when traveling. p>
After many days of preparation for the Treasure Fighting Party, King Qi finally arrived at Linlangyuan. The four richest men in Chang'an stood side by side to greet him outside the door, while Su Wangting and others stood by the roadside. Although he was responsible for organizing this year's Treasure Fighting Party, he was not qualified to attend.<
/p>
After the palace guards cleared the road, they saw a golden chariot pulled by four white oxen, which looked like a pavilion, slowly approaching. There were feather ceremonial guides in front, flags and canopies behind, and maidservants behind the ceremonial guard.
Servants and accompanying scribes.
After the golden chariot stopped outside the gate of Linlangyuan, a middle-aged man with flying eyebrows and black beard walked out slowly, supported by the maids on the left and right. He was wearing a purple robe and a fur cloak, and he had a graceful and noble demeanor.
Everyone present bowed and worshiped.
"It doesn't have to be like this." The middle-aged man was King Qi, and he said in an easy-going tone: "The Treasure Fighting Club is just for fun, but you insist on making it so solemn. I don't know how to deal with myself."
The four richest men in Chang'an were secretly astonished. King Qi now had all the ceremonial guards in place, and there were even a lot more royal guards accompanying him. Even if he said so, no one dared to neglect him at all.
In the end, it was Wang Yuanbao who took the initiative to step forward, cupped his hands and said, "When I see Your Highness, I feel respectful and should be solemn."
King Qi smiled faintly, exchanged a few words, and was invited by Wang Yuanbao and others to enter Linlang Garden to enjoy the snowy scenery of the manor.
King Qi chatted and laughed with the accompanying literati and the four wealthy people of Chang'an, but Su Wangting was very busy. Although he had made good arrangements in advance, he still had to pay close attention to every detail of the treasure fighting meeting. Even the dishes and drinks prepared for the banquet were
All of them have to be inspected manually by the royal family, which shows the rigor.
As for Cheng Sanwu, since the defense of Linlangyuan had been handed over to the royal army’s military officer, he was free.
"It seems that King Qi is also worried that the treasure fight will be unsafe." Changqing followed a group of royal servants from a distance, observed the left and right, and whispered.
"It's true that a lot of people came." Cheng Sanwu didn't care much: "Anyway, the thieves died and escaped. How dare they cause trouble in front of the prince?"
"I just think that this Weinan Treasure Fight is really unnecessary." Chang Qing looked at the crowd in the distance and stopped. He simply went to an uninhabited corner and talked to Cheng Sanwu alone.
"Why is it unnecessary? I think it's quite lively." Cheng Sanwu scratched his beard.
"Yes, it was so lively that several groups of thieves and bandits came to participate in the grand event." Chang Qing showed displeasure: "On the surface, the treasure fighting event is about the four richest people in Chang'an competing for rare treasures. King Qi invited celebrities to appreciate and comment on it. In fact, it is the four richest people in Chang'an who compete for rare treasures. Take this opportunity to make a big donation.”
"Ah? Is there still such a thing?" Cheng Sanwu was surprised when he heard this.
"Otherwise, what do you think Wang Yuanbao is doing by hiding nearly one million treasures in Linlang Garden?" Chang Qing said, "Although Brother Fu didn't say it, I guess that's what happened."
"One million strings." Cheng Sanwu was a little confused: "I have never heard of such a big number in the past, let alone seeing it with my own eyes."
"Think about it, in order to please King Qi, how did these four rich people search and make profits to obtain such wealth? Is it really all based on legal business income?" Chang Qing felt shuddering.
"One is willing to give it away, and the other is willing to take it. No one can say what you prefer and what I prefer." Cheng Sanwu spread his hands.
"Childish!" Chang Qing scolded with a frown: "Such extravagance and waste, using manpower and material resources for the enjoyment of a few people, is completely contrary to the laws of nature. The country is still peaceful and stable, but if there are any natural or man-made disasters, I am afraid that they will not be dealt with by then. We can’t even do this in a chaotic situation!”
"What you are saying to me is of no use." Cheng Sanwu smiled helplessly: "Why don't you go find a master who can take care of things and complain to him?"
Changqing opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak, but fell silent again. He knew very well that the person in the Daxia court who advocated the implementation of new policies and tax laws and the reduction of local assistants and redundant personnel was none other than Prime Minister Lu. Thinking of this, Changqing suddenly No more courage than before.
"You, you just think too much." Cheng Sanwu patted Changqing on the shoulder: "When you finish the Taoist examination next year, you will naturally have the opportunity to show your ambitions."
Changqing looked at Cheng Sanwu, who showed a silly smile, completely empty-headed and without any worries.
"Sometimes I envy you. All you can think about is eating and drinking, and you don't have to worry about other things at all." Changqing did not take the initiative to throw away the big hands on her shoulders.
"No matter how big your worries are, just have a good meal and put them behind you immediately." Cheng Sanwu said boldly: "Even if it's a life-and-death fight, if you take a few sips of wine and keep it, you don't care about anything, just know how to rush forward! ”
Chang Qing shook his head helplessly. He thought he could never be so open-minded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Wangting hurriedly came through the crowd.
"Changqing, His Highness King Qi learned that you eliminated the bandits and wanted to call you over for a conversation."
