Su Lu turned around to protect Laila in front of her. She saw the commander in charge of this expedition, Hu Changqing, a monk from the inner sect of Bingjiamen, standing there.
"This little girl is a good seedling."
Hu Changqing said, "Either, you bring her to join us; or, I take your cultivation and turn you back into a mortal, and you stay in this dead city with the little girl.
The lord of this city killed the envoy of Bingjiamon, and the Grand Marshal has a decree to erect a second Weeping Wall in this city. "
Hu Changqing was waiting, his iron gloves slapped on the armor, making a dull sound.Laila gritted her teeth and grasped Sulu's clothes tightly. She didn't know the truth, but she already knew hatred.
"Listen, Laila, you must live." Sulu turned to her and said, "Only by living can you become strong and realize your deepest desire."
Laila was stunned, biting her lip, tears streaming down her face, she didn't understand the truth, but she understood the meaning of the word "alive" better than many adults.
"Little girl, I can see that you hate me, but I don't mind."
Hu Changqing descended on Laila's head like a dark cloud: "From now on, you and I will be my disciples. If you want revenge, just come, but every time you fail, I will beat you hard, so that you can experience the truth of survival." You can't feel like you can't die."
The memories ended with the sound of evening drums. Su Lu saw Hu Xuandong's heroic appearance on the stage, and Laila's appearance coincided with that of the current General Hancheng, but Hu Xuandong was not Laila——
Hu Xuandong has forgotten her origin, her hatred, and even the reason why she killed Hu Changqing. She has transformed into a real Bingjiamen monk.
No.17 Chapter Rong Chengshi's Complaint Part 40→39
Without Gui Tangdong asking too much, Hu Xuandong's statement was quickly conveyed to Gui Tangdong by Li Qingchuan with a smile.
"Congratulations, this is the war as you wished."
Nan Qingxu raised her head in a daze, her head was touched by Li Qingchuan, she lay down on the table and continued to sleep, last night with Gui Tangdong's guidance, she had a good time doing the questions, now she is so sleepy .
After Li Qingchuan detected that there was no trace of her body feeling better, she sat beside her with peace of mind, watching that Gui Tangdong was flipping through the files and records.
When Gui Tangdong was working seriously, he was as focused as a puppet on a boat, and unless Li Qingchuan was running Yin Yang Xuan Ping Gong at full strength, he wouldn't be able to notice it.
On the table, there was the schedule planned by Gui Tangdong, and Li Qingchuan was delighted to see the densely packed text on it—the junior brother didn’t take the matter of Hu Xuandong and Xu Guo seriously, but when his body moved, it was another matter. thing.
When the sun rose to the top of the dome, Gui Tangdong finally put down the file. He consulted the documents and records of decades since his master Li Wujiu became the Shadow King to the present, in order to find the root cause of Xu Guo's illness.
Li Wujiu treated him like his own son, and almost responded to every request. Now he has consulted several times about Xu Guo's affairs, but Li Wujiu refused to contact him.
Li Wujiu gave up strategically important places like Xu State. King Xu Yan used to expand his borders, but after middle age, he indulged in pleasure, so that Xu State declined and withered, and now he is an incomprehensible "pacifist".
Gui Tangdong felt that there must be something strange in it.In the past, he could ignore it when he was helping his junior with homework, but now it was about him, and he had to figure out the secret.
In the afternoon, he met Rong Chengshi by the artificial lake dug in the royal garden. Rong Chengshi was ordinary in appearance, ordinary in cultivation, and ordinary in temperament. Role.
But she has a good surname, so she can marry King Xuyan and live in peace and enjoy wealth.Also because she has nothing but a good surname, so in this marriage, she only reaps wealth.
Gui Tangdong poured a cup of Xihai green tea for Rong Cheng, which was from Rong Cheng's hometown, and it was also the northernmost tea in the Central Plains.
Originally, tea was produced only in the south, and the Four Seasons Palace almost monopolized the tea production areas and the seller's market, and drinking tea was a common hobby of people all over the world.From the monks of the Mahayana period to the common people, from Albion in the west to the islands of Austronesians in the far east.Drinking tea is fun and life.
Therefore, the tea leaves with the trademark of the Four Seasons Palace are sold all over the world along sea and land routes, and the profits are huge. The tea also expands the influence of the Four Seasons Palace to a certain extent, which can barely be regarded as cultural export.
Naturally, other forces were unwilling to be monopolized by the Four Seasons Palace, and tried various methods. For example, "You Huiting", one of the seven emperors of the Demonic Dao, who was entrenched in Donghui Kingdom, launched the "Way of People" to steal tea seeds, carefully cultivation.
Yangyan Mansion stole tea seeds in a similar way, and planted them in the Fushan planting area that can simulate various environments. However, the goal of Yangyan Mansion is to allow mortals to grow green tea in the secular territory it controls. Partial self-sufficiency, reducing dependence on Sishigong tea.
The result is Xihai green tea.Its quality is mediocre, and tea drinkers may only lament that tea can be grown in the north, but for Rong Cheng, who was born in Xihai County, it is the taste of his hometown.
"My lord, thank you."
Rong Cheng’s thanks came from the bottom of her heart. She covered her face with her sleeves, savored the tea intimately, and tasted the memories of her hometown before she said: “I’m here today to tell you about Concubine Qionggui (Qionglian’s official title) ) matter."
"Please say."
"Your Excellency knows that the only function of a woman like us who comes from twelve clans and has no talent is to be married off.
When I was 20 years old, I was told by my father that I would marry King Xu Yan in half a year. I didn’t know who he was, nor where Xu Guo was, but he was the king, so I would stay where I wanted to be.
Facts have proved that King Xuyan is the husband of his dreams. He is tall, handsome, and elegant. He is also a hero known to everyone in the local area.
I had never expected love, so I didn't show much. The maid Yuhe I brought from my hometown helped me search for my potential enemies in the court, and the name Qionglian fell into my ears.
My mother taught me that men like to steal sex like cats, it’s no big deal to have a few women they like, because they are not loyal, they always love younger and more beautiful women, and as the main palace, the most important thing is Support each other with your husband, and don't lose points with him.
I heard the story of Qionglian and her husband, and I was a little jealous, but I still generously accepted Qionglian's position in the harem.
I waited for ten years, but my husband's obsession with Qionglian has not changed, and Qionglian has penetrated into his life, which made me hostile to Qionglian.
But at that time, besides practicing, Qionglian only focused on using my husband, she didn't try to take away the queen's position, and she didn't interfere in the government affairs, and in private, she treated me very well, so we lived together peacefully for another ten years .
No.20 From the beginning of the spring of the year, Qionglian began to have nightmares. At first, she had nightmares every ten days and half a month, and then the interval between nightmares became shorter, and the whole court followed suit.
At the same time, Qionglian's relationship with me began to deteriorate rapidly, she treated me like never before, and we had many arguments: she seemed to try to convey some kind of message to me, but when it came to her mouth, she seemed to be schizophrenic Usually suddenly shut up, and then quarrel with me.
Husband invited many doctors and master Xinglin among the monks, and even begged me to cast a spell to protect her, because he suspected that Qionglian was cursed by the monks of the Yinshan League, and the exercises of the Yangyan Mansion have a restraining effect on the Yinshan League.
He is really confused, he and Qionglian's cultivation base is much higher than mine, even if Yangyan Mansion's exercises are really effective, will it be useful for me who is weak?
So, I pretended to comfort him, contacted the sect for him, and asked a powerful monk to help, and my husband was waiting by the side full of hope.
He looked at me so eagerly, even more so than on my wedding night, and I contacted the senior management of Yangyan Mansion with sadness and pain.
In my opinion, it is impossible for Yangyan Mansion to respond to me, even if it responds, when I explain this matter, the response to me must be reprimand for my husband's misbehavior.
The person who contacted me was Elder Li Wujiu, he seemed to be on duty, and I felt even more fortunate to hear his voice: Elder Li is an upright person, the reprimand will be more violent than other elders, and my husband’s face It will be uglier in a while.
I wanted to see my husband's distraught and sad expression, but unexpectedly, Elder Li agreed. "
Chapter 18 Under the accusation of Rong Chengshi
"What did the master promise?" Gui Tangdong asked.
At the same time, he poured another cup of Xihai green tea for the other party. Rong Cheng was flattered to catch it, and his eyebrows and eyes turned into joyful shapes.
Beverages are an important part of Guitang East's social life. By observing words and expressions, serving different drinks to different people can help the other party relax, and relaxation is the beginning of good communication.
"He promised to come to Xiapi City, don't you think it's strange?" Rong Cheng asked.
"Indeed, for the sake of Yangyan Mansion's operation, Master is eager to sacrifice himself. I have followed him for a long time, but I don't understand whether his dedication is based on nobility or fanaticism." Gui Tangdong replied.
"I thought so too, but when Elder Li came to Xiapi, he stayed in the palace for a day. After he left, Concubine Qiong's illness improved day by day, and she gradually recovered."
"It seems that at least at that time, Concubine Qiong was not a member of the Yinshan League." Gui Tangdong said, "Otherwise, the master will arrest her in public and bring her back to Yangyan Mansion for trial."
Rong Cheng nodded: "My husband blocked all news, and the man who used to serve Concubine Qiong was also replaced, but I, his first wife, the real queen of Xu State, didn't know anything about it.
After this incident, the relationship between our husband and wife broke down. I hated him, and he hated me too. Normally, he should be grateful to me for calling the elders.
No matter what I think, I can only guess that Elder Li reprimanded him. He didn't dare to get angry with Elder Li, so he had to vent his anger on me... Huh, he deserved it. "
When human beings are full of complaints and finally have a chance to vent, it makes no difference whether it is a queen or a woman living in the back alley.
Gui Tangdong declined to comment, and asked, "So, when did you discover the anomaly?"
"That was one year after Concubine Qiong recovered from her illness, that is, one year after I married Xu Guo No. 20. In the previous court affairs, when my husband went out and was ill or when he went to the south to spend the summer and winter, I would attend the court. regent.
So gradually, I gained my own power in the court, and the ministers also thought that I was the king's agent... In No. 20, Princess Qiong began to rob this power.
Because she is pregnant. "
Gui Tangdong said empathetically: "If it involves embarrassing privacy and has nothing to do with the matter you want to explain, you don't have to say it."
He was fanning the flames, and Rong Chengshi was in high spirits. Facing her natal family who might be her backer in front of her, it would be a ghost if she could hold back the bad breath accumulated in her heart!
"No, Your Excellency, there is nothing to hide. There are husband's intercourse records in Xu Guo's imperial medical hall. I secretly sent someone to read them. Until Concubine Qiong became pregnant, I only had ten times here, while Concubine Qiong was there. Fifteen hundred times.
My cultivation is two realms behind my husband, while Concubine Qiong is only one realm behind my husband. The smaller the difference in realm, the easier it is for a monk to hit the target. Coupled with the unreasonable difference in numbers between me and her, it must be her first. Conceive an heir.
Perhaps it was the husband's ecstatic attitude that stimulated Concubine Qiong's ambitions, or perhaps it was because of her child's future that she became more and more daring and rude, breaking our tacit understanding, and began to challenge the power in my hand.
Concubine Qiong has always been my opponent. Because of this, I am sure that Concubine Qiong was a good person before she became pregnant. If it weren't for this damn marriage, I would want to be my sister with her.
However, after becoming pregnant, Concubine Qiong became more and more bleak and unscrupulous. She used the child in her womb as a weapon to conquer the city.This is not something that I know Concubine Qiong would do.
She changed, as if into another person.
Nine months later, she had a dystocia. When I visited her out of courtesy, her bedroom was cold, dark, and even horrific, and she herself was sitting on the bed like a pale ghost.
For a moment, I felt that she was a monster and wanted to escape from here.After I managed to calm down, I said a few words of relief and left. When I turned around, I saw her smiling at me in the mirror..."
Rong Cheng looked like she had seen a ghost, she was trembling, her complexion was pale, Gui Tangdong poured her another cup of tea, this time she didn't drink it, but held the teacup in her hand, as if she wanted to draw heat from it, to come into a sense of security.
Rong Chengshi went on to say: "I'm sorry, I really don't know how to describe it, that kind of smile is not scary, but it is so scary, just for a second, I feel that my mind is being invaded, it is Tampering with my cognition, trying to control my body, I will no longer be me...
A second later, all perceptions returned to normal, and in the mirror, Concubine Qiong was still in the original posture of turning her body inward.
After I went back, I asked the accompanying maids, and they all said that Concubine Qiong remained motionless, but I also firmly believed that the horror could not be a hallucination of my imagination.
I summoned my confidant Yuhe to discuss this matter. Yuhe felt that I should have attacked Concubine Qiong a long time ago. After we discussed, we decided to start looking for the dismissed palace servants who had served Concubine Qiong
It took my people three years to bring me a definite conclusion: all the palace people who left the palace died suddenly within one year. It seems very problematic. "
"Could it be your husband did it?" Gui Tangdong asked.
"Impossible, my people are staring at the deployment of the special forces directly under him. After Concubine Qiong Guifei had a miscarriage, my husband was depressed and stayed with her. In order to cheer up his beloved woman, he didn't even go to the south to spend the summer and winter. .
Hujun devolved power to ease his own burden, and eighteen Jiedushi were placed in the frontiers and newly conquered areas, acquiring disturbing powers.At the same time, the wind of extravagance in Xiapi suddenly rose, and the national treasury was depleted. The country had just reached the peak of prosperity, and it began to decline in an instant.
I tried to stop the speed of the country's decline, but the two of them ignored it and lived in a world of two. Their love story was so romantic that I wanted to cry. However, the price of their romance was borne by the people who froze to death on the roadside.
I couldn't help but think of the Yinshan League. The Yinshan League is cold and evil. Among the eight sects, the style is the most similar to the Demon Gate, and it is more mysterious than the Demon Gate. I suspect that Concubine Qiong and her husband have been confused.
But I don't have any evidence to prove what I said. Considering the open hostile relationship between me and Concubine Qiong, my words are likely to be framed.
So, I sent Yuhe and the people I brought back from her natal family to investigate Concubine Qiong Guifei's life experience. They entered Tan Kingdom, and Yuhe kept sending letters to report the progress... until she contacted me once, indicating that she could not find Qionglian's family members in the local area. , but something else has taken shape.
Then our contact was cut off and three days later my men were found at the border...they were all dead and the murderer insulted their bodies and turned them into grotesque shapes...I know, that was a sign to I protest.
Xu Guo dismissed Yangyan Mansion with a perfunctory investigation report, because the one who died was not a monk of Yangyan Mansion, so this matter did not attract the sect's attention.
I can guess who did it, but I have no evidence, no strength, lost one of the few reliable combat power, and my husband is not on my side.
Yuhe has been with me for so many years, and I have deep feelings for them. They died for me, and I must avenge them.
So I have to be patient, until there is a big change, and the savior who can set things right comes.
Now, here he is.My lord, I beg you to do justice for me. "
Chapter 19 Qionglian's Proposal
Rong Cheng came here prepared, and she presented some evidence of the story she described, and Gui Tangdong would read it, but he would have reservations about Rong Cheng's narration with obvious subjective tendencies and the evidence she presented.
Gui Tangdong asked casually: "What do you think about the situation in Xu State?"
Rong Cheng herself did not have the ability to govern the country. After the Tanguo incident caused heavy losses to her cronies, she also lost the channels to help her obtain real-time and effective information.
Gui Tangdong got up to say goodbye, but at this moment, he sensed that in the channel upstream of the artificial lake, Qiong Lian was punting on a boat, taking the ailing King Xuyan on a boat on the lake.
So, he waited a step, and not long after, Qionglian also sensed him, and punted towards the lake.Rong Cheng also did not leave the scene, her face turned pale when she saw Qionglian, it was only the queen's dignity that forced her to remain calm.
The beauty makes the oars beat the water, the boat travels through the lotus, the birds swoop to the ripples spreading behind the boat, and the wings bring new ripples to the mountains and rivers and lotus leaves reflected on the water.
However, thinking of Xu Guo's falling mountains and rivers, this scene of a beautiful woman rafting in a boat becomes extremely ironic.
Qionglian glanced at Rong Cheng, and then she understood everything: "My lord, your prestige makes the rats who live in the territory of Xu State hesitate. Today, the government affairs of the court are over quickly. Take the saint to go boating on the lake filled with spiritual energy, and nourish his body and spirit."
Gui Tangdong nodded, watching Qionglian and Rong Cheng greet each other, Qionglian ordered the palace staff to send King Xu Yan back to the palace, and said in a low voice: "My lord envoy, may I ask the lake to tell you something."
Guitang Dongguaner: "You, me?"
Qionglian smiled lightly, and said mockingly: "Since my husband and I have known each other, there has been no lack of voices criticizing me in the country of Xu. The envoy and I are both innocent, and we behave well, but we are afraid that others will say something about it. What."
Gui Tangdong thought for a while, he was not interested in Qionglian, but it would be good to stimulate the jealousy of his senior sister, so he agreed to Qionglian's request.
Rong Chengshi tactfully resigned, she knew that her little composition could not make Gui Tangdong fall for her directly.Qionglian drove the boat to the middle of the lake and stopped, and Gui Tangdong made her a cup of fruit tea.
Gui Tangdong said: "You have also heard the declaration issued by Fellow Daoist Hu of Bingjiamen, my attitude towards Xu Guo, and my responsibilities in Xu Guo also changed with her declaration.
After King Xu Yan was under house arrest in disguise, the court and the palace were integrated into one, and you and the queen in the palace were incompatible, and the government might be turbulent because of this, and the turbulence would destabilize the Xu country, and the destabilization of the Xu country might affect the relationship between Daoist Hu and me. The result of the engagement.
Just as King Xuyan cannot tolerate surrender and appeasement, the chief of Yangyan Mansion cannot tolerate failure. This is the bondage of status and honor to me.So, I don't want your fights to mess up my affairs. "
Qiong Lian was flustered, but she quickly regained her composure: "Can my lord give me a chance to defend myself?"
"Come tell your story, I still have time."
"All?" Qionglian asked.
"All, by comparing the narratives of the same event from two perspectives, I think I can draw some interesting conclusions."
"In that case, my lord, I have a proposal."
