Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chapter 560: Get Again (Second Update)

Fakong looked at him.

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Master, I have been bothering you for a long time. I have to show my appreciation. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

Fakong laughed and said, "Forget about the things. Your Majesty, please stop giving me trouble."

"This time, there is really no other way," Chu Xiang smiled bitterly, "Master, you will suffer and Lao Zeng will die. I can only choose the lesser of two evils."

"Even if Si Zheng fails to complete the task, he will not die, right?"

"Ah——!" Chu Xiang shook his head, "Master, you don't know that Lao Zeng has issued a military order. If you fail to complete the task, you will die. I'm going to see you with my head raised. This is no joke. "

Fakong frowned: "Why do you have to do this?"

Chu Xiang said: "Second brother is forcing me with words. Second brother is not the same as before. He is eyeing the Green Clothes Department and wants to merge it into the Southern Supervisory Department. Father is also quite tempted. Lao Zeng doesn't want to merge it into the Southern Supervisory Department, so he can only fight hard. "

Fakong shook his head and said: "Merge the two into one? The emperor won't agree, right?"

If you want to merge the two into one, why did you put the Green Clothes Department into the Southern Supervisory Department? Just put them into the Southern Supervisory Department directly.

"Now there are three heads standing side by side. Shenwu Mansion is better. I am suppressing it and I don't meddle in other people's business. But the Southern Supervisory Department and the Green Clothes Department have too much internal friction. If they merge into one, it will be enough to have Shenwu Mansion to check and balance. Father thinks that Dayun is eyeing it covetously and it is not appropriate to waste it. "

Fakong nodded slowly.

This is a different time. Now Dayun has shown its strength and the posture of being ready to mobilize troops at any time, which has also brought great pressure to the emperor.

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "I spent a lot of effort on this treasure. Master, please take a look and see if you are satisfied."

"What treasure?" Fakong found that his mind could not see it.

This red sandalwood box is not an ordinary wooden box. It has a special mystery.

"Open it and take a look." Chu Xiang said.

Fakong did not hesitate and opened it.

A pure bottle lay quietly on the golden silk of the red sandalwood box. It was snow-white and crystal clear, as if it was carved from white jade. It was faintly shining. This semi-transparent feeling was particularly charming.

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "I think it might be a pair with the pure bottle of the royal grandmother."

Fakong's eyes were immediately attracted, and his mind was also attracted, unable to move away.

The curve of this pure bottle was slightly different from his pure bottle. Outsiders could not see the difference, but he could see it clearly at a glance.

If the previous pure bottle was dry and bold, then this pure bottle was soft and beautiful.

He looked at the bottle, and his heart seemed to melt, as if he had turned into a pool of water, slowly flowing on the ground.

Chu Xiang smiled at him.

It was worth it that he had spent a lot of effort, manpower and material resources to finally find this bottle.

He really did find it right, Master Fakong liked it very much.

If he was not a prince, not the governor of the Nine Gates, not the lord of the Shenwu Mansion, and had a huge influence in the army, deep connections and huge manpower, he would definitely not be able to find this bottle.

It was in the remote northwest, in an ordinary poor family in an ordinary remote village.

The ancestor of this poor family was a low-ranking official of the ninth rank, and this official was a novice monk from a temple.

And this novice monk had been serving an old monk, and this old monk was a eunuch, a eunuch of Dayi.

And this bottle fell into the hands of this eunuch.

This eunuch believed in Buddhism, so he secretly kept the bottle. No matter how big and strict the palace was, it was difficult to keep out the thieves.

Chu Xiang felt that if he didn't feel that he owed Master Fakong too much, he would have been hard to track down the poor family in this village.

The process was too tortuous and difficult. Many times he thought it was impossible to find it. Maybe it had been destroyed or sunk to the bottom of the sea.

As the saying goes, strange things have their own opportunities. After all, they were found and fell into the hands of Master Fakong.

After a long while, Fakong retracted his gaze and took a long breath. The golden light in his eyes was faintly flowing, and the Four Symbols Realm was advanced a little bit.

This bottle was of great help to him.

Especially when these two bottles were together, they repeatedly impacted his perception of heaven and earth, and the effect was many times stronger.

"Master, how is it?"

"A good treasure." Fakong said with emotion: "Your Majesty is thoughtful."

Chu Xiang smiled and said: "It's great that Master likes it. It's okay to work harder."

Fakong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are hinting that it's okay for me to work harder."

"Haha..." Chu Xiang laughed.

Fakong said: "Zeng Sizheng's matter is indeed troublesome. In fact, the key is to consider the attitude of the emperor."

Chu Xiang frowned: "Old Zeng is my father's old minister. How could my father want to kill him?"

"Even if he doesn't want to kill him, do you still want to use him?" Fakong said: "If the emperor doesn't want to use him, I have to help him. Do you think it's troublesome?... If I just use my magic twice, I certainly won't shirk it like that."

"...I don't know what my father thinks." Chu Xiang shook his head: "I never think about what my father thinks, I just do what I should do."

He suddenly realized.

No wonder the master avoided him like a snake and scorpion. I thought he didn't want to use his magic more because of trouble, but it was because of my father.

I should have thought of it earlier.

Although the master said that using his magical powers would consume his lifespan, he knew it was not true. If it really consumed his lifespan, he would have died long ago according to the frequency of his use.

In the final analysis, he was lazy and wanted to stay away from trouble.

Having such magical powers but not using them is a waste of natural resources.

But the magical powers belong to the master. If the master does not want to use them, he cannot force them. He can only respect his decision.

But this time, when Old Zeng was at the critical moment of life and death, he could only force the master to help. He couldn't just watch Old Zeng die.

Fakong shook his head and said, "So, Your Majesty, you are not suitable for officialdom, but only suitable for being an idle prince."

Chu Xiang said, "I was also forced to take the position, and I had no choice."

"I think Your Majesty is enjoying it." Fakong shook his head, "I will accept the bottle, and I will watch Zeng Sizheng. Let's see what happens. If it is really his fate, no one can save him."

"Alas!" Chu Xiang sighed and nodded.

He could feel the power of fate and his own powerlessness. Sometimes he couldn't change his fate no matter how hard he struggled.

"Your Majesty, how many bottles are there?"

"I will continue to send people to find them." Chu Xiang gritted his teeth.

"It couldn't be better." Fakong pretended not to see it and nodded with a smile.

He knew that he would spend a lot of manpower and material resources, but he was still not polite, just like he had asked for his help without hesitation.

There is really no need to be polite when friendship is established.

——

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and Xinghuawu seems to be asleep, peaceful and tranquil.

The lake water hits the shore, making a slight sound.

There is a bright moon in the lake water, gently swaying.

A small pavilion by the lake is brightly lit as if it were daytime.

Dugu Xiaqing is reading a book.

The light shines on her ordinary face, and her eyes are clear and calm.

People can see the situation in the pavilion clearly from a distance.

There are four guards in the apricot forest far away from the pavilion, guarding secretly.

Although this is Xinghuawu, and not many people come, they are still loyal to their duties and never slack off.

Fakong suddenly appeared beside Dugu Xiaqing.

Dugu Xiaqing put down the book, drew the sword out of the sheath, and turned into a clear light to meet Fakong.

A clear light has already emerged from Fakong's sleeves and stabbed Dugu Xiaqing.

The two beams of light did not intersect, but avoided each other, moving very fast and flickering.

The guards in the distance did not move.

They recognized Fakong.

Fakong's movements were clear, but the sword in his hand turned into a piece of light, and the shape of the sword could not be seen clearly.

The two fought from the pavilion to the lake, stepping on the lake water and swinging the swords in the moonlight, stepping on the lake water as if walking on flat ground, and the moves were exquisite.

The four guards wanted to see but could not see clearly, they could only see two shadows overlapping, separating, overlapping and separating again.

Separating and combining, blurry, flickering like reality and illusion, watching for a while made my eyes blurry and dizzy.

After more than 300 moves, Dugu Xiaqing and Fakong suddenly put away their swords, floated back to the pavilion and sat down.

After the fierce battle, Dugu Xiaqing's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were bright, and she looked around with brilliance: "You are making progress faster than me."

"It's a different fate." Fakong smiled and said, "How are you doing recently?"

"Very good." Dugu Xiaqing's eyes moved and she dodged him.

After getting drunk last time, her heart knot was much relieved, but she felt embarrassed every time she thought about it.

It felt like taking off all her clothes.

Fakong smiled and said, "Do you know Princess Zhaohua?"

"Princess Zhaohua? Of course I know." Dugu Xiaqing said, "She often comes to play with me."

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

Dugu Xiaqing said: "Princess Zhaohua likes swordsmanship, is good at growing flowers and plants, and likes small animals. She will come to Xinghuawu to play in a few days."

Fakong nodded thoughtfully: "So she is a friend."

Dugu Xiaqing said: "After her husband died, she moved out of the palace and didn't have many friends. She and I are very good friends."

"How did her husband die?" Fakong asked.

"... Killed by someone." Dugu Xiaqing sighed and said: "It was also an unprovoked disaster. Two martial arts masters fought and killed him by mistake."

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

Dugu Xiaqing said: "I find it unbelievable, right?"

Fakong said: "These two martial arts masters must be dead?"

"No." Dugu Xiaqing shook his head.

Seeing Fakong's doubts, she explained: "One is the elder of Wujimen, and the other is the elder of Wuchangjianzong. Even as a princess, she can't do anything to these two people."

"Princess Dayun can't do anything to two martial arts masters?"

"It's just an accidental killing. You can't kill them both to pay for their lives. The life of the prince consort is not that valuable."

"Will it not hurt the face of the royal family if the prince consort is killed?"

"The status of the prince consort is very low." Dugu Xiaqing shook her head.

Fakong said: "Princess Zhaohua has no feelings for the prince consort?"

"You have only met twice, what kind of feelings can there be?" Dugu Xiaqing shook her head and said: "She was even a little happy."

Fakong looked at her curiously.

Dugu Xiaqing said: "According to the princess, she doesn't like this prince consort, but the emperor has ordered her to marry."

"Once the prince consort is dead, she has jumped out of the fire pit." Fakong said: "Does the princess know these two masters?"

"I don't know them." Dugu Xiaqing shook her head, and then her bright eyes flashed, and she said in surprise: "What do you mean by this? Don't you think that the princess hired someone to kill the prince consort? You really dare to think!"

She was very perceptive and immediately caught Fakong's intention.

Fakong smiled and shook his head.

"The princess will come tomorrow, do you want to see her?" Dugu Xiaqing said: "When you see her, you will know how ridiculous your idea is."
