Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 44

The gate of the palace was slightly dilapidated. This farce-like rebellion ended with the suicide of King Xihe and Yin Du on guard. The flames of war made the originally clean palace walls dirty and dilapidated.

Master Zhou looked at Ge Tan standing at the door with a tense expression as he clenched the jade gourd in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, the old Taoist has no intention of stopping you. He handles His Majesty's emperor veins himself. The old Taoist has no reason to interfere. I just want to talk to you."

"Senior, please tell me." Master Zhou's expression softened now, he didn't want to have conflicts with this kind of half-stepped immortal.

"You want to restore the Zhou Dynasty, right?" Ge Tan asked softly.

"You..." There was an unbelievable look in Master Zhou's eyes, and he was surprised why Ge Tan knew about this.

"This skilled dragon slaying technique, and the method of transforming demons, plus the surname Zhou, is it hard to guess?" Ge Tan analyzed, of course, only a knowledgeable person like him can guess

"Senior, are you going to stop the poor Taoist?" Master Zhou looked serious, and he was ready for the opponent to attack at any time.

"The veteran Dayu is about to perish. What can I do to stop you? Just to remind you that your fairy fate is running out." Ge Tan looked at Master Zhou regretfully, as if he saw another self.

"If the ancestor's foundation cannot be rejuvenated, he will be ashamed of King Zhou." Master Zhou said firmly, like a fanatical religious member.

"Does the person who inherits the emperor's line know that if they fail, they will fall into the endless hell?" Ge Tan asked back.

"Every one of the Zhou family's children has already taken it as their duty to revive their homeland." Master Zhou said with a noble and sacred expression, as long as he becomes the emperor, he can avoid the endless hell.

"It seems that there is not. The Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed for 200 years. He lost his destiny. You are acting against the sky." Ge Tan said with a sigh.

"I know it's going against the sky, so Pindao has already made preparations for death and Taoism. Besides, the king of heaven was going against the sky back then, and our Zhou family will just do it again." Master Zhou said with a serious expression. Feel his determination.

"I wish you success. Don't use the technique of slaying the dragon in the future. It hurts people's fate very much. There is also the technique of grafting. This is the reason for Zhou's demise." Ge Tangui persuaded.

"This poor Taoist understands the reason for the split of the Zhou Dynasty. The poor Taoist is clear about the reason for the split of the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor wanted to pursue permanent rule and turned into a demon, which made Zhou lose his destiny and be punished by the world. It will be the last time I will use the dragon slaying technique, and it will not be enough if there are more impoverished immortals." Master Zhou said with a wry smile.

He touched the jade gourd on his waist. This Heaven's Mandate Emperor Vein is not easy to hold. In this world with the rules of the underworld, it is very expensive to do things that go beyond the rules.

"You understand, the old man doesn't say much, you don't need to say much about the danger of fighting for the dragon, you understand." Ge Tan stepped aside.

"Thank you for reminding me, senior. I am very grateful." Master Zhou cupped his hands, and walked away from Ge Tan's sight as if he was running in all directions.

"You didn't make a move." Ge Tan said softly as Master Zhou disappeared from sight.

Jiang Xianluo showed her figure, and she looked at the direction Master Zhou was going away.

"Cutting off future opponents? After thinking about it, Xian'ao gave up." Jiang Xian'ao turned her head to look at the majestic palace wall behind her.

"Why? You're not the kind of pedantic person who wants to win in an open and aboveboard manner. If so, you wouldn't have come to this country of Yu." Ge Tan said strangely.

"The Zhou family doesn't have a country now, so if they want to gain their own territory, they must overthrow a certain country, cause civil strife in other countries, consume their national power, and reduce the difficulty of Zhao's unification. Why not do it." As soon as Jiang Xian said this, Ge Tan was sure that it was his junior sister.

"But elder brother, are you just watching him take away the emperor line of Yu Kingdom?" Jiang Xian said regretfully.

"Why don't we fight with him? Who am I to use when Dimai snatched the old master? Not to mention that the royal family of Yu Kingdom is a bunch of insects." Ge Tan said with a curled lip, not seeming to think highly of the Yu royal family.

"I think Zhuang Xun is very good. If you can give it to him, maybe you can remake the world?" Jiang Xiannao suggested.

"Take the emperor's veins, and if you fail to fight the dragon, you will fall into the endless hell. The old Taoist can't do such a harmful thing, but you are optimistic about him. Use this method to make him owe you the fairy fate. This hand is used for transposition." That’s right, you didn’t even dry the ink, if it wasn’t for the emperor’s partiality, you would have killed him.” Ge Tan was still dissatisfied with Master Zhou’s remarks just now, and said to Jiang Xianmo at the same time.

"Seeing a good seedling is nothing but love and care. Fabricating a relationship with him is the most reason to stand up and help him. In this situation, it's too strange to stand up and help. I really hope that in the future he can grow into a big tree and give us a piece of shade." Jiang Xian said expectantly.

"Oh, it's the strangest thing that your identity is related to his identity. Forget it, your thoughts are always wild and unconstrained, and you plan one after another." Ge Tan wanted to say something, and finally sighed.

"How can there be so many calculations, but it's just thinking too much and not being shameless. This banquet has completely lost Xian'ao's face, but Xian'ao has also seen it. The magic of this reincarnation is in line with the longevity of some emperors. The idea of ​​not getting old." Jiang Xian smiled lightly.

"It's all about self-willing to degenerate. Talented people are the primates of the world. Monsters will not be able to appear on the stage after all. The Great Zhou is all over the world, Kyushu surrenders, the emperor turns into a demon, and tries to rule forever with power and tactics. In the end, he loses the emperor's majesty and is replaced by the sword fairy of Yunshan." Cut off by the sword, ridiculed by the monks all over the world, immortal? Do not practice state affairs and want to live forever? What a beautiful dream." Ge Tan said disdainfully.

"Yeah, being a monster is still too painful. It's better to let them go earlier. I heard that many monster races participated in this dragon battle. The sword in Xianluo Zhengchou's hand is not very sharp, so I want to use their heads to consecrate it." The tone is gentle, but the words he speaks are full of murderous intent.

"I was waiting for a demon clan today, but he is too cunning to show his face, what a pity." Ge Tan said with a sigh.

"As long as he participates in the dragon fight, his little tail will always be exposed, senior brother don't have to worry." Jiang Xian said comfortingly.

"The old man is afraid that the Yu country will be gone, and he will harm the people here, so I won't be able to do anything." Ge Tan said worriedly.

"Then there are still Yunshan and Kunlun, and there are monks from Qinghushan nearer? Although they are not part of the world, they like killing monsters and earning merit." Jiang Xian said consolingly.

"Who can make up for the damage caused?" Ge Tan looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back.

"Actually, senior brother, your obsession may be much more than that of Master Zhou." Jiang Xian said quietly.

……

When the rebellion subsided, Zhuang Xun and Li Rusi were no longer in the mood to find someone after a thrilling but peaceful escape, and returned to the ranks of officials and scholars honestly.

After receiving the news that they could leave, everyone hurried home, not because of their demeanor.

Naturally, the carriage was gone, and Li Rusi and Zhuang Xun were walking on the avenue. The two who were supposed to be separated, Li Rusi proposed to protect him. Zhuang Xun thought about Li Rusi's strength and agreed.

"Are you afraid of me?" Li Rusi looked at Zhuang Xun, who was a little far away from her, with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Oh? No." Zhuang Xun replied immediately.

"Aren't you afraid to see me kill someone?" Zhuang Xun's immediate answer made Li Rusi's eyebrows stretch.

"Uh, I think it's very handsome, no, it's very beautiful. I made a quick decision, and the strands don't stick to my body. I'm just a little embarrassed. Yes, I'm embarrassed. I want you to be protected by a woman." Zhuang Xun said embarrassedly.

"Is that so?" After accepting Zhuang Xun's explanation, Li Rusi became silent again.

"Is it true that I don't need to look for General Li anymore?" After walking a few steps, the already quiet street became even quieter without talking, and the sound of shoes trampling on the ground was like drumbeats. Zhuang Xun couldn't bear this kind of silence and asked proactively.

"My father has already rushed to the front line in the starry night." Li Rusi replied sullenly.

"General Li has worked hard. In order to fight against You Country, he rushed to the battlefield as soon as he recovered from his illness." Zhuang Xun praised.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. This kind of reason is very simple, but most people don't want to get out of the comfort in front of them." Li Rusi summarized Li Pingyuan's behavior.

The two sides were silent again.

After walking two steps, Li Rusi said, "You really think it's beautiful? I'll kill someone."

"Killing people is not beautiful." Zhuang Xun shook his head, he never thought that killing people was a beautiful thing.

Li Rusi's head drooped, her almond eyes narrowed slightly.

"However, it was to protect me. I think it's so beautiful, like a Valkyrie descending to earth, saving the people from fire and water." Zhuang Xun said reverently.

"The Valkyrie is too exaggerated, so she can boast so much, it's no wonder Xiaolian you can be liked by Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Guogong." Li Rusi covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

"Mrs. Duke, that's really nonsense." Zhuang Xun hastily denied it, although the one at home was genuine.

"Ms. Jiang is the real thing. Xiaolian is likable. This Mrs. Jiang Chengguo doesn't know her background very well. It's very big and deep." Li Rusi said half in joke and half in warning.

"I know, I will take care of the relationship with Mrs. Jiang." It didn't matter at first, but this time I owed her twice, I just hope she won't make any unreasonable demands.

"It's good that Xiaolian understands." Li Rusi saw that Zhuang Xun listened and clicked.

"I'm home, thank you Miss Li for escorting me, please come in and have a cup of hot tea." Zhuang Xun invited.

"Thank you Xiaolian." Li Rusi didn't even make a symbolic refusal, which made Zhuang Xun a little embarrassed.

In the middle of the night, he didn't want to disturb Si Qin Mi's rest, so he found a few haystacks to climb over the fence and open the door from the inside.

"Xiaolian, what are you?" Li Rusi said incomprehensibly.

"My wife is probably already asleep. It's not good to disturb her at this time." Zhuang Xun whispered, climbing up the haystack on the first step.

"Squeak..." The door opened.

The fragrant breeze entered his arms, and the hug was tight, the poor man raised his face, his tearful eyes were full of tears, not knowing how much he was worried or afraid.

"Lang Jun, you're back." Si Qinmi touched Zhuang Xun's body up and down, fearing that something might happen to him.

"You haven't slept yet." Zhuang Xun stroked Si Qin Mi's beautiful hair, feeling a great sense of peace and pity.

"I heard that the convoy on Suzaku Avenue was attacked and that King Xihe was rebellious. How can I sleep well, but I am afraid that I will cause trouble to you, sir, so I can only wait at home until you come back." The tone was sobbing, tears rolled down, She was really worried about Zhuang Xun.

"Okay, okay, although there are twists and turns, in general, people are good, there is no problem." Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Zhuang Xun comforted him, thinking that he had the courage to go to Jiang Xianyu and Li Pingyuan for a while, Comparing with Qi Siqin Mi's restraint, it is up to the judge.

"What happened today may only be comparable to the day when the pianist's daughter was buried. Okay, okay, I have guests, let me come down first." With outsiders present, Zhuang Xun couldn't explain clearly.

"It's my concubine's rudeness." Si Qinmi realized that outsiders were there. God knows how she felt when she heard that the chariots and horses were attacked on Suzaku Avenue. It feels like the sky is falling.

But she is a person with self-knowledge, knowing that she went to look for Zhuang Xun, like a headless chicken, if Zhuang Xun came back and couldn't see her, she would go to find herself again, so she might as well wait for Zhuang Xun to come back with peace of mind, if she waits for the news of his death, then Let's go to the underworld together.

Fortunately, Zhuang Xun came back intact, why didn't this make her weep with joy.

"This is Miss Li from Chengguo. Thanks to her for protecting me today, she is the benefactor of our husband and wife. Miss Li, this is my wife, Wei." Take the initiative to introduce each other to prevent them from knowing how to address each other.

While saying hello, Si Qin Mi didn't think about anything, her heart was on Zhuang Xun, she just cared that it was difficult for outsiders to ask questions.

However, Li Rusi was looking at Si Qinmi, she was indeed ugly, watching the two's intimate behavior, it was indeed as Zhuang Xun said, she loved her very much.

Looking at the clothes, even in the middle of the night, they are clean and tidy, and they also have a kind of generous demeanor, so that the shabby room and the weak candlelight look bright and bright against the backdrop of people.

"My concubine is going to make tea, and Mr. Lang will entertain Miss Li first." The space was given over to Zhuang Xun and the others.

"Mrs. Wei is really virtuous, and has her own manners. No wonder Xiaolian is willing to marry as his wife." Li Rusi praised Siqin Mi.

"She is the one who married me, and you can see that, Xun herself is looking for peace, and has no big ambitions, but she is willing to marry Xun, and encourages Xun." Zhuang Xun shook his head and said.

Perhaps many people are used to being the protagonist, and take everything for granted. Isn't it the standard for a wife to love herself wholeheartedly?
But Zhuang Xun, who has been hungry, experienced family discord, and the oppression of the semi-feudal world, understands how difficult it is to have a wife who can communicate with each other, so he cherishes it all the more.

"Or did the Jiedu right emissary climb a high branch?" Li Rusi said with a light smile.

"Without my wife, I might be a piece of loess, how can I get promoted?" Zhuang Xun said without hesitation.

"Please use." Holding a teacup, he interrupted their conversation.

"How could this tea be served so quickly?" Li Rusi was surprised, it only took a few words.

"I have nothing to do, thinking about my husband's return and serving hot water for him, so I kept boiling the water for backup." Si Qinmi replied.

"Miss, sit down too and chat with us." Zhuang Xun thought about his stupid operation today, and felt the urge to cover his face.

Thinking about inviting Li Rusi to find someone with herself, it would be a bit menglang to ignore the defenses of men and women. Li Rusi is also a brave person with high skills, so she accepted her invitation.

"Today I'll tell you..." I should have been exhausted from running and jumping, but when I returned to the ranks of officials, Zhuang Xun leaned against the pillars of the main hall and fell asleep, and didn't wake up until the counter-insurgency was over.

From being attacked on the street, seeing arrows being fired, being framed in the main hall, Mrs. Jiang rescued her, and finally she had cerebral palsy, and unexpectedly invited the woman Li Rusi to accompany her to find Mrs. Jiang, who was very kind to her, but was attacked by thieves and eunuchs. Fortunately, Li Rusi saved it.

Si Qinmi listened, her expression changed several times, from worry to rejoicing, she grabbed Zhuang Xun's clothes and loosened them as he told, and did not let out a long sigh of relief until Zhuang Xun finished speaking.

"Thank you, Ms. Li, for saving my life." Si Qin Mi immediately knelt down to thank her after hearing this.

"Ma'am, you're welcome. The attack on Suzaku Street meant that our father and daughter were implicated in Xiaolian, and it was just compensation. Today, I was honored to meet Mrs. Wei of Si De." Li Rusi hurriedly supported Si Qinmi.

"Four virtues?" Si Qin Mi was slightly puzzled.

"Xiao Lian boasted, now the whole country knows Mrs. Wei's virtuousness, my wife has four virtues..." Li Rusi repeated Zhuang Xun's refutation of Xu Houde's words at the banquet.

"Lang Jun prefers concubines, Miss Li, don't take it seriously." Si Qinmi panicked after hearing this, and said humbly.

It would be fine if it came from Zhuang Xun's mouth, but it would be embarrassing for an outsider to say it.

"It's better to be famous than to meet. When I saw Mrs. Wei today, I knew that Xiaolian's words were true, and I also knew that Xiaolian's character is noble." Li Rusi was full of sophistication and sophistication.

"Miss Li praises you, I'm frightened tonight, you're hungry, I'm hot cakes..."

"Madam Wei, you're welcome. After drinking the hot tea, it's time for Ru Si to leave." Li Ru Si saw what she wanted to see, and she was no longer in the mood to stay here.

"It's late at night, and there's a turmoil outside. Miss Li is very beautiful, and I'm afraid she will cause trouble. Why don't you take a rest in the side room and wait until dawn before setting off?" Si Qin Mi asked.

"Alright." Li Rusi thought for a while, and felt that what Si Qinmi said made sense.

"Miss Li, go to the side room first. My concubine will prepare the washing utensils for you. Don't worry, they are all new. The ones I bought for guests are just a little crude. Please don't dislike them." Si Qinmi led Li Rusi away. Pian Fang said.

"How could it be? Some people are already very satisfied with using Ru Si. Madam is too thoughtful." Li Ru Si quickly denied.

After taking care of Li Rusi to wash up, Si Qinmi returned to the main house, where Zhuang Xun had already set up the basin, waiting for her to wash her feet.

"Lang Jun, you are tired, I can come by myself." Si Qinmi refused Zhuang Xun.

"Aren't you tired? You're frightened. I've slept for several hours, and I feel better now." Zhuang Xun smiled.

"Is that so?" Si Qin Mi didn't refuse again.

The jade feet stirred the water, and the pearl-like toes moved together.

"Does this Miss Li have a crush on you, sir? She actually accepted your invitation to come to our house." Si Qinmi asked softly as she looked at Zhuang Xun who lowered her head to wash her feet.

"Thinking too much, everyone has a good impression of me, right? I am a beautiful man, everyone likes me, I am just curious about you who I praise to the sky." Zhuang Xun is very self-aware, knowing how important he is.

He lifted his beautiful lotus feet and wiped them clean.

"Don't underestimate yourself, sir, you still have great merits." Si Qin Mi went to bed.

"Can you attract the daughter of the Great General Cheng?" Zhuang Xun asked.

Si Qin Mi remained silent, watching Zhuang Xun's leaving back.

After Zhuang Xun finished pouring the water, he blew out the candle and went to bed.

After going to bed, Si Qinmi took the initiative to hug Zhuang Xun, and whispered in his ear: "If you can attract the concubine daughter of General Yu, as long as she likes you, that's fine."

"Huh?" Zhuang Xun's body softened after hearing this.

"Today, no, what did you do to the handkerchief you gave me yesterday, how could there be poetry." Nephrite's warm fragrance was in his arms, and Zhuang Xun's heart was shaken.

"I haven't touched it. Isn't this concubine a woman who tampers with other people's things? Even taking out the handkerchief today is a whim. How could there be handwriting?" Si Qinmi wondered.

"Speaking of which, this Mrs. Jiang also has a crush on you, and she even wants to prove your innocence at the expense of herself." Si Qinmi hugged her tighter, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch Zhuang Xun away.

"Why are you so jealous, everyone has a crush on me, am I qualified?" Zhuang Xun rolled his eyes, only the wife at home regarded him as a treasure, I'm just a stupid ass, so be more sober.

"I'm sorry, it's my concubine's mistake..." Upon hearing jealousy, Si Qin Mi immediately reflected on herself.

"You are my wife, I am quite happy to be jealous..." It doesn't matter to me whether you are not jealous, this is the most hurtful thing.

"Mr. Lang just praised my concubine's four virtues today." The feelings in Si Qinmi's words were not the same as Li Rusi's expression just now. There are rewards for hard work, and rewards for dedication, even if it's just verbal, it's exciting.

"So you don't have to be so humble, you are a perfect woman with four virtues." A gentle and caring big sister, a perfect wife.

"No, my concubine still has shortcomings... woo." The concubine lacked courage.

Blocking Si Qin Mi's lips, physical meaning.

Many reasons sparked the fire, maybe it was the fear of Zhuang Xun's death overnight, maybe it was the jealousy of hearing that several beauties had a relationship with Zhuang Xun, maybe it was the excitement of being praised for the four virtues, and the long-standing shrinking mentality was broken , Reserved into soft entanglement.

She is Zhuang Xun's wife, why is she jealous, because she knows that she is only a wife in name, and it is because she is reluctant to take that step, why, because she is worried that Zhuang Xun will regret it?Still feel unworthy?

Is it because concubines have four virtues that they like concubines?Then there is no need to worry anymore, I should be his wife, and others cannot take this position away, because my mother told me that women can only be regular wives.

Who can tell clearly about the accident, if you don't give it to him, if you are unlucky or he is unlucky, then it will be a big regret. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to attack.

"Don't be like this, there are guests, she can't hear well."

"We quietly."

"It will be heard."

"Just keep your voice down."

For Li Rusi, tonight's experience was terrible.

Comparing the sophistication on her face and mouth, and the jealousy in her heart, she couldn't sleep.

That's right, jealousy.

"How can you be so happy if you are so ugly, how can you have such a good wife if you are so stupid."

Seeing the two singing in harmony, the husband singing and the wife following along, Li Rusi, an older leftover woman, was so angry that her stomach hurt. It wasn't that she didn't want to leave just now, but she was really so angry that she couldn't walk.

Envy and jealousy, not hate, other people's happiness is within reach, the man she reluctantly fell in love with, maybe it's him who is famous and beautiful, which makes Li Rusi feel that this man is reliable.

With good hearing, I can't hear the couple's whispering clearly, but I can hear the sound of the shaking bed board.

"Improper human beings!" Understand the joy of the reunion of husband and wife who have parted from life and death.

But you are really not human when you have guests.

No, I was warned of the other party's sovereignty.

Ah, who cares!
