Fu Shifeng

Chapter 48
"Cheng Sanwu also has a sorcerer named Changqing who hasn't obtained the Taoist book yet."

Afu did not forget to remind and warn: "This person is a disciple of Daguan Daoist of Songyue Fuzang Palace. Regardless of his young age, he is very good at magic. The people sent to monitor must be smart, otherwise he will be noticed arrive."

"Daoguan Zhenren? I know this person. Although he is a Taoist, he has studied the yin and yang of military strategists deeply. His Majesty once intended to call him into an official position." Chu Zhongcheng asked: "Shangzhang Jun also wants to introduce this person's disciple into the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ?”

"I don't care, he may not be interested in the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Afu smiled mysteriously: "I found some clues, this Changqing may be a concubine of Lu Xiang, but he was abandoned along with his mother in the early years Yes. Calculated from the time, it should be before and after His Majesty ascended the throne, his mother's surname was Tang, or he lived in Nanyang area."

"Shangzhang Jun found out a lot of news." Chu Zhongcheng praised, and then secretly calculated, saying: "Lu Xiang had already achieved fame at that time, so he wouldn't abandon his wife and son...Okay, I will send someone to come back later." Go check it out."

"I've already brought the star essence back, so you can ask someone to get it." Afu sat relaxed and casual: "But this thing was inlaid on a delicate instrument by Antty, I am worried that there will be a mistake when it is hard to disassemble. The people from the Shengong Division will deal with it. There are other odds and ends, and you also take them away."

"As long as we examine these things in detail, we may be able to know which high-ranking people in the Central Plains Ankati had contact with." Chu Zhongcheng wrote a few words at his desk, then stuffed the note into the copper pipe, and threw it into his body. A small hole in the side wall.

"You mean Fu Shifeng's group?" Afu frowned slightly, and asked, "I have been in the Central Plains for more than 300 years, and I have seen many experts from the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. I have never heard of Fu Shifeng. title."

Chu Zhongcheng's expression became a little more serious: "To put it harshly, this Fu Shifeng is a group of people who disrespect the court's laws, form associations privately, and conspire against others. They rely on magical powers, are unpredictable, and secretly recruit all kinds of people. People on the road joined in. It was just a few years ago that we found some clues related to Ankuti, and believed that this person had contact with Fu Shifeng, so we wanted to capture him for further questioning."

Afu smiled: "When I fought with An Ting, I used words to provoke him. I learned that this person did not really want to revive Zoroastrianism. He searched for people and seized the star marrow. From the beginning to the end, he wanted to seek immortality."

This news surprised Chu Zhongcheng, who was used to wind, rain and thunder. He took a note immediately, and then said with a little hesitation: "This...is also human nature, but the star marrow can help people live longer, is this true?"

Afu heard the words and immediately understood that the current emperor, like the heroes of the past, is greedy for longevity, favors Taoists, and attaches great importance to the elixir of immortality that can help longevity.

"I don't dare to talk nonsense about this matter." Afu herself is a high-ranking blood, and immortality is a matter of course. She will not ridicule the world's pursuit of immortality as nonsense, but she simply has a different mood, and she herself is not proud of it .

"Angty's ability to use the star marrow to help him live longer is basically the spell he cultivated. The star marrow is more to help him break through the barriers that are difficult to pass. With the star marrow alone, I don't think he can directly enter the realm of longevity."

Afu has been wandering in the Central Plains for many years, and she dare not say that she is as proficient in various advanced studies as Ankhuti, but she also understands that if ordinary people want to enter the realm of immortality, it is not only possible to achieve it by abundant external things.

Chu Zhongcheng nodded when he heard the words: "I will report this matter to Your Majesty, but it is possible that Antty's soul-robbing process will not be successful... He still remembers Antty's spells, and even the method of longevity in it... .”

Afu sneered in her heart, this Chu Zhongcheng is also unwilling to be lonely, after learning the mystery of the star marrow, there is no longer that Eunuch Feng who is honored as "Da Dang" in his words, and he can't wait to kneel down immediately holding the star orbit instrument In front of the emperor, he tried his best to flatter him.

"I can't guarantee it. I just advise Chu Zhongcheng not to pin all your hopes on this person." Afu was once rescued by Cheng Sanwu, and she didn't want Cheng Sanwu to be dragged to the chopping board by the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of this matter. His whole body was covered with golden needles, and the cover of the sky was also lifted, and people used secret methods to search for the sea of ​​consciousness.

But on second thought, with Cheng Sanwu's real abilities under his skin, could the Ministry of Internal Affairs be able to deal with it?As one of the "Ten Taisui", he couldn't win the blessing of the star marrow, but he was helpless in front of Cheng Sanwu.It's no wonder that when Cheng Sanwu killed Sun Shaoren, he was able to break out of the siege and flee to the Western Regions.

Chu Zhongcheng thought about it again and again: "Cheng Sanwu really needs to be under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he can't be ordered by others anyway."

"Here is a bad news. Cheng Sanwu has a very good friend, who is the head of the trading company arranged by Lu Xiangye in the Western Regions, and his name is Su Wangting." Afu saw that Chu Zhongcheng's expression changed slightly, and lightly picked his nails: "Cheng Sanwu regards this person as a brother, so it's better not to act recklessly, it will only increase the number of variables."

"Business company, business company..." Chu Zhongcheng thought about it: "If Cheng Sanwu doesn't want to enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we can make arrangements. What hobbies does Cheng Sanwu have?"

"A common man." Afu couldn't help but smile when thinking about it: "Greedy food, greedy drink, greedy sex. There is almost no scheming, stupid and stupid, but also impulsive and aggressive. It is the most common kind of ranger."

For some reason, Afu clearly saw that Cheng Sanwu had an unusual understanding of the troubled world, but she did not confess to Chu Zhongcheng.

"Greedy?" Chu Zhongcheng looked at Afu, implying something.

"That's why I said let me come." Afu smiled and said, "Or are you going to invite Rou Zhaojun?"

"Shangzhang Jun volunteered, then I will report Da Dang truthfully." Chu Zhongcheng did not refuse.

Afu got up and left her seat, and took out a secret note like a conjuring: "By the way, Qi Jingyang asked me to bring the imperial report. He hopes that Lu Xiangye's new policies will not be implemented in the Western Regions."

"This matter... doesn't seem to be under the care of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Chu Zhongcheng took over the secret note with a slightly questioning tone.

"This is the condition for him to entrust the star essence to me." Afu turned around and waved her hand: "As for whether to present it to His Majesty, that is Chu Zhongcheng's business, and I have no control over it."

Afu left the chic words and then left the cramped study room. She is not a person who manages mundane affairs, and she doesn't bother to delve into the specifics of how the big shots in the Ministry of Internal Affairs do things.

Walking through the secret passage to the inner hall, I saw a fat man coming towards him. He was wearing a round collar robe with a lot of patterns, but because he was so fat, his waist and belly almost broke through the clothes, even in the gloomy and cold place where he could almost In Yishanfang, which made people sick, this person was still sweating profusely, and kept wiping his face with a towel.

"Ouch? Isn't this Mr. Shangzhang?" The fat man's voice was shrill and thin, more disgusting than an eunuch. As soon as he saw Afu, he trotted closer and rubbed his fat hands together: "Long time no see Mr. Shangzhang, you Still so beautiful."

When Afu saw this fat man, she felt disgusted, and said with a sneer, "Mr. Zhaoyang, you are almost fat like a ball."

"Working for His Majesty, I'm tired and fat, there's nothing I can do about it." Lord Zhaoyang, who was at the bottom of the ten heavenly ranks, couldn't tell that he was a master of the Gongchen Guard.

However, there is absolutely no idler in Gongchen Guard. Afu speculates that Lord Zhaoyang must have practiced some kind of secret technique, but he just got mad, and his body is unbearably fat.Although this person has only attended Gongchenwei in the past two years, he has already done several important things for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the methods he used are extremely cruel.

It just so happens that Lord Zhaoyang is very feminine, and he doesn't like prostitutes, he likes those who are married and even pregnant.As for the women he played with, even if they were lucky enough to survive, their end would be extremely miserable.

You must know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not a good man or woman. In order to attract Afu, they can specially prepare a village for Afu to suck blood.And in order to satisfy Mr. Zhaoyang's morbid hobby, he did a lot of crimes and harmed others.

However, ever since Mr. Zhaoyang saw Afu, he shamelessly tried his best to curry favor with her.Afu didn't care about other people's gazes, but she also hated this Zhaoyang Jun very much, as if she stepped on dog shit, and wished to throw him away.

"This is the wine vessel I bought along the way when I was out on errands. It's called 'Manjuanhe'." Mr. Zhaoyang took out a cloth bag from the pouch behind his back, and when he opened it, there was a jade wine cup, like a lotus leaf Stretched and half-open, it holds wine in the way of receiving rain and dew.

"This mantle-rolled lotus was made by a master jade carver who lives in seclusion in Shandong. When it is used to hold wine, the fragrance of the lotus is overflowing around the circle, and it can cool off the heat. It is the best wine vessel in the world!" Lord Zhaoyang respectfully offered it.

Afu didn't want to accept this kind of gift at first, but after thinking about it, she stretched out her hand to twist the rim of the cup and lifted it up, trying not to touch Zhaoyang Jun's fat hand full of oil and sweat, and put the flawless, almost half-green Playing with the transparent lotus leaf jade lamp.

"It's rare that Mr. Zhaoyang is kind, so I won't refuse." Afu forced a smile, and then said, "I still have things to do, so I won't delay."

"Shangzhang Jun, go slowly!" Zhaoyang Jun cupped his hands and bowed, but he was too fat, and his belly hindered his body from bending down, which seemed extremely funny.

After Afu left the fortress, Mr. Zhaoyang straightened up, with a greedy look on his face, and licked his lips with his fat tongue, looking forward to the next situation.

……

Leaving the gloomy fortress, Afu returned to her private residence in Yishanfang. In fact, with her status, she could have bought another residence elsewhere, but she had enjoyed the luxurious life as early as in the Southern Dynasties. Now Instead, get used to this "simple" life.

"Master Fu, the people from Shengong Division have already moved the things away." Qin Wangshu took the initiative to report when he saw Afu.

"Understood, let them toss."

Afu didn't care. Even though Chu Zhongcheng was in a fortress that couldn't see the sun, he could still mobilize a large number of people at will. Under the entire Yishanfang, there were secret passages extending in all directions, hiding various organs and means of communication.Most of the personnel and materials are also circulated underground.The tunnels even stretched to the entire Chang'an City, allowing the Ministry of Internal Affairs to secretly dispatch and communicate news, like a spider web that spread out, covering the heart of the empire.

"Prepare a gift box for me." Afu suddenly turned around and said.

Qin Wangshu was taken aback, and asked, "I don't know how big a gift box is needed? What kind of style?"

"It's used to hold this thing, and you can make whatever style or pattern you want." Afu shook the mantle lotus in his hand, and Qin Wangshu went to do it immediately.

Not long after, Qin Wangshu came back with an exquisite lacquer box. The surface of this lacquer box was embellished with gold and silver, and it was also drawn with patterns of twining flowers. The stamens were even inlaid with water essence.The whole lacquer box brings together a variety of crafts, which is already an expensive treasure in itself.

Afu regarded it as normal, put the jade wine cup with a lotus in it, wrapped it with silk and satin to fill it up, so that the wine cup would not be bumped.Just such a set of things, the cost of hundreds of common people's taxes for a year may not be able to cover it.

"Who is the envoy Fu going to give this gift to?" Qin Wangshu knew that she shouldn't ask this question, but she still couldn't hold back.

Afu was leaning on the soft bed, and she probably guessed that Mr. Zhaoyang had tampered with the wine vessel, so she definitely didn't use it to hold the wine: "Give it to Cheng Sanwu, who is good at wine, how can you drink it?" Can I have a nice glass?"

Qin Wangshu bowed his head and remained silent, his face seemed displeased, Afu couldn't see it, and asked with a light smile, "You don't want to see me making friends with Cheng Sanwu?"

"Forgive me for my lowly position, I really don't know Fushang's intention to make friends with this person." Qin Wangshu said: "Although Cheng Sanwu has some martial arts skills, but looking at the world, he is far from being brilliant. Fushang is like a fairy Character, how can you waste your time on him?"

"Oh, you're a little girl too." Afu sighed, and then beckoned, Qin Wangshu hurriedly knelt beside Ruantao.

Afu lifted Qin Wangshu's chin with her hand, then took off her folded head, untied her bun, and let the black hair spread out.A few strands of hair were held by his lips, which made the original awe-inspiring temperament a little bit pitiful.

"It looks much more delicate this way." Seeing Qin Wangshu frowning slightly, Afu stretched out her fingers to rub her brows, and blamed: "You frown and stare all day long to scare the others away. Really Do you think you can get things done just by working hard at the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"The lowly position disappointed Fu." Qin Wangshu lowered her head, but was lifted up by Afu again. She looked directly at the girl in front of her and asked softly:
"If I ask you to change into a skirt, bring gifts to meet Cheng Sanwu, and drink with him for fun, will you do it?"

Afu didn't use her charm method this time, Qin Wangshu was startled when she heard the words, and suddenly felt great panic. She seemed to see the disappointment in the eyes of Fu Shangshi, whom she admired so much, after she refused, which was enough to knock herself down. The power to enter the eighteenth hell.

However, at the thought of going to accompany those dirty and smelly men, Qin Wangshu couldn't help but tremble all over. The long-buried nightmare in her heart resurfaced again, which made her strongly resist.

Huge contradictions clashed in his heart, making Qin Wangshu unable to make a decision for a while, leaving only two lines of tears in his eyes, silent.

Seeing this situation, Afu knew that she hadn't overcome her inner demons yet, so she just slowly approached her face, sticking out her tongue to lick away the teardrops.Feeling the tip of her tongue touching her skin, Qin Wangshu froze as if struck by lightning, her whole body froze, and the crimson color extended from her neck to her face.

"It seems that you can't do it." Afu slowly backed away and let go, and slapped her thigh: "Forget it, let me do it myself for sacrificing the appearance!"
