Chu Feng was just surprised for a moment. The next moment, his expression suddenly changed slightly. His consciousness had clearly felt that the strange flower pattern on the opponent's arm seemed to have many similarities with the control collar.
"This is the Heart-Eating Mother Seal, a kind of evil technique that is designed to control others for one's own use." At this point, Mrs. Wei's expression suddenly became a little miserable.
Chu Feng nodded without saying anything, waiting for the other party to continue.
"Young master, you still don't know my true identity, right?"
"This is Madam's privacy. It's not for Mr. Chu to inquire rashly." Chu Feng looked calm. Of course, the reason why he didn't inquire was because he was not interested.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Mrs. Wei naturally didn't know the other party's true thoughts. At this moment, she felt a sense of respect in her heart. After calming down, she slowly explained:
"To be honest, I was originally the concubine of the previous generation Emperor Yunhuang. With my pretty good looks, I was quite favored by the emperor. However, an incident happened three years ago, which made everything change..."
As Mrs. Wei narrated, Chu Feng gradually understood the whole story.
Mrs. Wei's real name is Wei Ying'er, and she is the daughter of the Wei family, a wealthy family in Baiyun City. She was selected into the palace when she was young. Because of her extraordinary appearance and intelligence, she soon became the favored concubine of Emperor Yunhuang.
This was originally a blessing. However, things in the world are unpredictable. It was like a trick of fate. Three years ago, an accidental opportunity allowed her to discover the true face of the current prince, the current generation of Yunhuang Kingdom, and everything became different.
"I also didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is usually modest, respectful and filial, would turn out to be a devil in human skin." Mrs. Wei, or rather Wei Ying'er's whole delicate body was trembling,
"The late emperor was already over seventy years old, and his health was much worse than before. Therefore, the affairs of the court were gradually handed over to the prince. He was indeed excellent and handled everything in an orderly manner.
However, everyone has two sides, especially the prince. Although he was humble and respectful on the surface and extremely filial to the late emperor, he was very unwilling in his heart. In order to completely control the military and political power, he began a step-by-step plan, little by little.
It was eating away at the late emperor's power, and by the time the late emperor noticed it, it was already too late."
"What happened on the snowy night?" Chu Feng suddenly thought that when Liu Chengfeng introduced Yunhuang Country to him, he had vaguely mentioned it, but at that time he just heard it and didn't care.
"Exactly, but that was what happened after that. I was no longer here at that time." Wei Ying'er nodded,
"The late emperor's body has always been very weak, but with diligent care, he was finally fine. However, the prince's ambition became more and more uncontrollable. However, I never expected that he not only wanted to usurp power as soon as possible, but also wanted to seize power as soon as possible.
I also have lustful thoughts."
Chu Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a thing to happen. Wei Ying'er was not very old, but she was the elder of the prince by title, so she would actually have such thoughts.
"You didn't inform the late Emperor about this?"
"The crown prince has achieved great success. Even if he informs the late emperor, I am afraid it will not have any effect. On the contrary, there is a possibility of frightening the enemy." Wei Ying'er shook her head.
"Besides, although I have been teased by his words several times, there is no concrete evidence, so who would believe it?"
He smiled bitterly and continued,
"I can see that the crown prince's ascendancy is a foregone conclusion. Unless I really obey him, there is only one way to stay in Yunhuang Country, so I have the idea of escape.
My mother is from Dongyu country, and my grandmother was critically ill, so I used this as an excuse to ask the late emperor for permission to go to Dongyu country to visit. The late emperor was very fond of me, so he immediately agreed, and the prince was in time to win.
At the critical moment of my position, I didn’t want to cause any complications, so I didn’t stop it.”
"You haven't come back in these three years?"
"Not long after I left, I learned about the Snow Night Incident. How could I dare to return? I have been hiding in Dongyu Country." Wei Ying'er nodded and suddenly said,
"It's just that I never expected that the other party had no intention of letting me go. I don't know when my body had been tampered with, and the 'Heart-eating Mother Seal' was placed on my body. It was impossible to escape even if I wanted to."
"The Heart-Eating Mother Seal, as the name suggests, is a seal that connects two people. The one on my body is the child seal, and the other end of the mother seal is on my mother. That person was thoughtful and watched me leave, but he had no feelings for the Wei family.
Any attempt to make things difficult will paralyze everyone, even my parents feel relieved."
Wei Yinger suddenly sighed and said bitterly,
"It wasn't until now that I realized that the other party had no intention of letting me go. Everything in the past was just a matter of holding back. With this seal, my life is connected to my mother's, and it is impossible to seek death even if I want to."
"I see."
Chu Feng glanced at the other party and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The other party was indeed very smart and could think of taking the opportunity to stay away from right and wrong. Unfortunately, this kind of wisdom was just a trick, and in the end it was just in vain.
So what if there is no such heart-eating mother seal? As long as his parents and relatives are still in Yunhuang Country, and as long as he himself cannot let go of his parents, there will never be a possibility of escape.
And this mark only prevents it from going to extremes.
"You want me to help you remove this seal?"
"I know that this matter is very difficult. By helping me, I have completely offended the current Emperor Yunhuang. But...it's just that I am really desperate. If the young master can help me, I am willing to be a bull and a horse to repay the favor.
Your kindness."
"You think too simply." Chu Feng couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know how to make things difficult. With his strength, even if he offended Emperor Yunhuang, a mortal emperor couldn't threaten him.
However, after it is removed, is it possible to take the entire family with him to protect him at all times? Obviously it is unrealistic.
"Your parents and relatives are all in Yunhuang Country, right?"
Wei Ying'er looked stunned, and instantly understood the hidden meaning of the other party's words, and was silent for a moment.
That's right, she is not only alone, the Wei family is also a big family in Baiyun City. If she goes against that person's will, how can the rest of the family not be implicated?
However, she had her own thoughts in her heart and did not remain silent for too long. Then she said,
"I believe that nothing in this world is absolutely impossible. The difference lies in whether the price to be paid is high enough? Is the reward sufficient?"
"What do you want to say?" How could Chu Feng not understand what the other party meant? He couldn't help but feel curious.
"May I ask Mr. Chu, are you interested in the Forbidden Abyss?"
"It seems that Madam is very well informed, right?"
Chu Feng took a deep look at the other party. The matter of the auction was not a secret, and there were many people who knew about it. However, the information spread outside was that Liu Chengfeng had obtained the Six-Color Order, and it had no connection with him.
In Kuangsha City that day, Wei Ying'er had always kept a low profile, staying in the sub-rudder without leaving the door. Unexpectedly, she knew everything about what was going on outside.
"My lord, please forgive me, I can only guess who I am based on some information."
Wei Ying'er did not hide her thoughts. In her opinion, Liu Chengfeng was not that kind of courageous person and would never rashly use the resources of the branch to buy the Six Color Order. The reason for doing so must be related to the situation in front of her.
People cannot escape relationships.
Of course, these are all conclusions she guessed based on the existing information, and she is not worried about offending the other party.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly mention the Forbidden Abyss?" Chu Feng did not blame anything, but was very interested in the other party's intentions.
"Mr. Chu, you don't know something. My ancestor of the Wei family was once a disciple of the Shangzong. Later, he left the sect due to lack of qualifications." After a pause, Mrs. Wei continued,
"Although the path of cultivation for our ancestors has been cut off, the family itself still has some heritage. As far as I know, there is a map in the family's treasure house, which records the outline of the Forbidden Abyss in detail. I think the young master may be interested in it.
"
"Are you sure you're not lying to me?" Chu Feng suddenly looked stern and stared at the other party.
The Forbidden Abyss related to the secrets of the world, and it probably involved a way to leave, so how could he not be tempted? If what the other party said was true, then this map was what he must get.
"This matter is absolutely true. If what I said is false, I will die without a burial place despite the thunder from the sky." Wei Ying'er looked solemn and swore.
"Who else knows about this thing?"
"Only the elders of the clan and my father know about it. If it weren't for some accidents, even I would have no way of knowing."
"So, this thing belongs to your Wei family. How can you be sure that your people will use this treasure in exchange for your life?"
Chu Feng had understood everything, and he suddenly felt a little disdainful. The so-called family naturally puts interests first. Giving up a woman in exchange for the long-term prosperity of the family is a very cost-effective thing no matter how you look at it. Since Emperor Yunhuang sees it today
When you fall in love with Wei Ying'er, obedience is the most correct choice. Why resist? It's so unwise.
"What the young master said is true. In fact, the reason why I returned with the Yongfeng Escort this time was not just because of the mother seal of the Heart-Eating Child. In fact, everyone in the family, except for my parents, had already compromised. At this time, I am afraid that
Everyone is waiting for my news." At this point, Wei Ying'er's expression suddenly showed a hint of coldness,
"I will ask my father to tell me the exact information. With the cooperation of the two, it will not be difficult to get it with Mr. Chu's ability."
"Is this a betrayal?" Chu Feng suddenly understood and couldn't help but admire Wei Ying'er's determination. This kind of resolute and unswerving decisiveness is really something that ordinary women can't do.
"I can help you mother and daughter get rid of the Heart-Eating Mother Seal. So, where should you go from here?"
"Can I follow the master? Even if I am a servant for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter."
"I have too many important things to do, and it's inconvenient to take you with me."
Chu Feng shook his head secretly. It was not difficult to rescue the other party's family of three, but it would be too troublesome to drag the whole family along with him. What's more, he would have to leave sooner or later, so it would be best not to involve too many causes and effects, so as not to
There will be trouble in the future.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Wei Ying'er couldn't help but feel a little confused. Didn't she already have three maids? So why not have one more? Is it because she is too old that she doesn't like her?
Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Although she was over thirty, she was still very confident in her appearance. She didn't expect that the other party would be so unconcerned.
"Then, Sir, can you send our family of three to Tianfeng Country, which is my brother's country and is enough to live in."
"Tianfeng Kingdom?" Chu Feng frowned. It seemed that Tianfeng Kingdom was one of the tributary states of Yunhuang Kingdom, located on the border to the north of Yunhuang Kingdom. Unexpectedly, its leader turned out to be Wei Ying'er's brother.
However, the Tianfeng Kingdom is just a vassal state. If Emperor Yunhuang insists, either through coercion or inducement, the other party may not be able to persist.
"I believe in brother." Wei Ying'er insisted.
"That's it."
Chu Feng nodded. For him, it was not difficult to take the three people away quietly. It was just a matter of effort. Since the other party was so confident, he didn't bother to say anything more.
After receiving a positive answer, Wei Ying'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was some difference from what she expected, it was still perfect enough.
The haze that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time finally dissipated, and I could escape my tragic fate. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile, and I was very charming for a while.
Chu Feng was slightly startled and thought to himself, did he feel a bit at a loss by rejecting the other party's offer of refuge?
…
"Meet the master."
Returning to their own camp, Qingyue and the two sisters raised their skirts and bowed down. Since they learned the identity of their master, the priest, the two sisters no longer had any dissatisfaction. They became extremely respectful, and even changed their titles.
"Get up." Chu Feng nodded, ignored the two of them, and walked towards his tent.
"Sister, we..." Qingyu covered the black ribbon around her neck, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the other party raising her hand.
"You must never have such thoughts again in the future, you know?" Qingyue naturally understood what her sister meant. Seeing that girl Ai Nian had safely removed the restraints of her collar, she also felt a desire in her heart.
"Why, sister?"
Qingyu is a little confused, doesn't her sister long for freedom? Of course, she has never thought of leaving her owner, but as long as she wears this collar for a day, she always has a bad feeling, as if it is an item that can be discarded at any time.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Can't you understand the current situation?" Qingyue lightly tapped her sister on the forehead, and then analyzed her words seriously,
"What is a priest? It is an existence with extraordinary power, tyranny, and immortality. Being able to serve each other is not only not a bad thing, but a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations. Especially for the master, although his strength is
It is extremely rare to find a person who is powerful but has a very gentle personality."
"this……"
What sister said makes sense. Although Qingyu wanted to refute it, she couldn't find any reason.
"You are thinking that you will be free one day, right?" Qingyue didn't understand what her sister was thinking, and couldn't help but sigh. Maybe it was because of her own protection that she was a little too naive.
"If you think about it carefully, since childhood, have we ever had such a luxury as freedom? Even if we don't become slaves, we are still precarious. How can we have true freedom?"
"Then...then what should we do?"
Qingyu finally figured it out, but now she is worried. After all, the master is not only the two sisters, but also a girl Ai Nian. Different from them, the other party is a real human race, and she is born to be too strong.
"As long as you serve the master with all your heart, everything you should have will naturally happen. Don't think too much." Qingyue chuckled lightly, stretched out her hand to touch the dark black ribbon around her neck, and suddenly said,
"So, this thing is actually our blessing. Do you think that with a character like the master, he would treat the servants who are loyal to him harshly?"
…
inside the tent,
Chu Feng, who had just come in, was suddenly startled, and then shook his head imperceptibly. He never expected that this girl Qingyue would have such a theory. However, it sounded very good.
"Come back?"
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded, it was Ai Nian. At this time, the other person was squatting there and tinkering with something. Chu Feng subconsciously turned his head to look, and suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
