As a mother, how could Qin Fang not know what her son was thinking? The reason why she was furious was not because of the words "We'll see you on the battlefield", but because this man who was thousands of miles away knew that someone was in his heart and worried about her day and night, but he didn't even want to spare some time to write a letter to his family and send it back.
Taking a step back, even if you really don’t have time to write a letter home, you can always have someone send a message to your family, right?
But no, nothing, he just stayed in the Dafeng Dynasty without saying a word.
It's not strange for Qin Fang to be angry when he does things like this, but it's strange not to be angry.
On the night when Gui Qing returned home, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress were very interested for the first time and quietly went out for a walk under the moonlight. Along the way, the two reminisced about the past and recounted the interesting things that happened when Gei Qinggei Liu, an enemy brother and sister, were young. There was one thing that Qin Fang had forgotten, but when Gui Qi mentioned it, she recalled it, and she immediately felt angry in her heart.
One winter, Qin Fang brought back a little girl named Taozhi who was in tatters from outside the palace. When she entered the palace, she was six years old and ignorant, while Guiliu was already ten years old, although she was still just a child. , but some of his childishness has faded and he has gradually become sensible. At the end of the year, the little girl Taozhi became the personal maid of the ten-year-old Geliu. The two of them were just children at that time, so there was no distinction between master and servant. She just followed Geiliu wherever he went. Whatever he ate or played with, she wanted to taste and try it. try. One time, Xiao Taozhi hid the calligraphy that Xiao Guiliu had practiced in order to fool Xiao Guiliu. As a result, Xiao Guiliu failed to turn in his homework on time and was punished by Qin Fang for copying it several times.
Because the relationship between brother and sister was not harmonious when they were young, Xiao Geliu naturally believed that the culprit of this "unreasonable disaster" he encountered was his sister, so the two got into a dispute and almost got into a fight. Fortunately, Geiqi discovered it. stop.
The day after the dispute, Xiao Guiqing, who was already a beautiful woman at that time, did something that went against the ethics of love.
He poisoned the food box that his brother used every day at noon.
At noon the next day, the food box containing the dishes was brought to the palace by the palace maid. Xiao Giliu really ate it, and not only him, but also his maid Taozhi. As a result, the master and servant almost died.
Regarding this matter, both Gui Qi and Qin Fang were extremely angry, especially since Qin Fang had just transformed from a giant of magic to the mother of a country, and she still had a violent and wild side, so she directly killed the palace maid who was delivering the food box, and He forced Gui Qi to issue an edict to punish all nine of his clans.
And it was not only this unsuspecting palace maid who was executed, but also all the maids in the Prince's East Palace and all the cooks in the imperial dining room.
"It's better to have trouble than to lack. Since we can't find the murderer for the time being, let's kill all the relevant people."
This is what Qin Fang said to Gui Qi personally back then, and this was the violent and unruly Qin Fang back then.
But except God, who would have thought that the real murderer turned out to be a little girl?
But even God would never have imagined that after the first murder attempt, the little girl would be poisoned for the second time.
But Xiao Guiqing was very unlucky this time and was caught by Qin Fang who was hiding.
At that moment, Qin Fang had the urge to strangle the terrible child in front of her.
In the end, Xiao Guiqing was punished to kneel in front of the Ji Tu Altar for a day and a night. He was imprisoned in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and copied hundreds of volumes of books. He was imprisoned for a whole year until Guiliu finally got rid of the deep poison and was able to stay and walk.
Logically speaking, Qin Fang should have remembered such an unbearable tragedy, but if Gui Qi hadn't mentioned it, she would have really forgotten about it.
Why?
Because back then, after this incident happened, Qin Fang was still unable to get over that hurdle. Since then, she has become more and more indifferent to her daughter, and even wanted to distance herself from the relationship between mother and daughter.
Even though she knew it was wrong, she couldn't resist the alienation from her heart.
So, she made a decision to use Taoist methods to keep that memory deep in her heart.
On the day Gui Qing returned home, she kowtowed and said, "My daughter Gui Qing, I did many wrong things twenty years ago. I don't ask for forgiveness, I only ask for redemption."
On that day, she not only shed the shackles of divinity, but also shed the previous shackles, becoming a "brand new" daughter.
This was what Qin Fang wanted to see the most, so that night Gui Qi deliberately revealed the matter and evoked Qin Fang's memory, which was actually equivalent to letting Qin Fang experience it again.
This time Qin Fang was still very angry, with a fire in her heart. But unlike twenty years ago, this time, she was angry with Gei Liu.
Even if some people are in trouble since birth and are tightly restricted by dark shackles, their hearts are still like flowers and trees, and they are born towards the sun.
Otherwise, why didn't Gui Qing, who was "the lord of Fengdu, born to know himself", not ascend directly to the throne? Why would he have to suffer in this family for more than 20 years?
Even though some people can run freely since they are born, they increasingly deviate from the family that gives them unlimited love.
Otherwise, why wouldn't Giliu even want to write a letter home? Why wouldn't he even want to send back a single sentence?
The more Qin Fang likes the current Gui Qing, the more annoyed she becomes with the current Gui Liu.
The lotus caves in the sky, and millions of lotus flowers connect the sky and the earth. In the cave master's mansion, Taoist Master Lotus Crown was making tea and entertaining guests. The guest was a cold woman wrapped in a plain skirt.
Taoist Lotus Crown's tea-making skills were excellent, otherwise he would not have been able to serve Taoist Ancestor as a tea boy for hundreds of years. Seeing that the fire was perfect, he stood up to collect the tea, finally poured it into the teapot, and poured a cup for the woman respectfully.
If you look at the entire world, you can count the number of people who can make a great monk of the Eighth Realm, the Lord of the Lotus Cave, and a disciple of the Taoist Patriarch spend all his energy to please. At this moment, the new Zhu Guan, who was waiting behind Taoist Lotus Crown, was surprised and uncertain. Who is this woman? Could it be that she is the ancestor of a certain immortal sect at the top of the eighth realm? It's just that this appearance is a bit too stunning. There must be a mysterious method that can rejuvenate one's youth and keep one's appearance well.
The woman took a sip of tea, lightly opened her red lips, and said coldly: "I walked through all the eight Taoist caves yesterday. At present, your Lotus Cave is the bleakest. Of course, it is not as good as the previous ones, but more than the lower ones, at least it is better than the others. The day when the land rose and the earth sank, it is still very good now."
As soon as he came up, he was poked in the painful spot. Taoist Lotus Crown twitched the corners of his mouth and forced out a smile, "So it is urgent to let His Highness the Crown Prince serve as the Spring Official."
Gui Qing asked, "So you invited me here today because you think I can persuade him?"
Taoist Lotus Crown said with a bitter look on his face, "Your Highness, Princess, you have to do it, but you really don't want to?"
Gui Qing leaned back, making a negotiating gesture, and said with an aggressive attitude: "The sincerity of you and your master was obviously not enough last time."
"What's so difficult about having real power in the position of Chunguan? Even if His Highness the Crown Prince wants to take over all the power and sideline me, the Lord of the Cave, I will never say a word."
Taoist Lotus Crown suddenly lowered his voice a lot: "But in the Three Years and Twelve Realms, the poor Taoist is not willing to do it, he really can't. The human race has been rising for more than ten thousand years, and there are countless people with astonishing talents and amazing bones, but no one can reach the Three Years and Twelve Realms." At the level of twelve years. If Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to let go, nine years in three years, poverty cannot be guaranteed, but she is willing to give everything to Her Majesty the Crown Prince."
Guiqing sneered and said: "You have only reached the ninth level in three years, and you are just a bastard?"
Lotus Crown Taoist sighed and admitted that he was in the wrong. Talking about the speed of breaking through the realm with a woman who was not at the same level at all was like a bird knowing the ambition of a swan.
"Even if the realm can be put aside for now, the sincerity you have shown in Lotus Cave Heaven is still not enough."
Master Lotus Crown knew that since she said this, it meant that even if the request could not be achieved, there was still room for negotiation.
"What do you want, Your Highness the Princess?"
Guiqing narrowed his eyes, looked at the majestic white jade capital outside the mansion, and said: "This white jade capital in the world has been completely vacated as his place of cultivation. There are restrictions set up within a hundred miles and no one is allowed to approach. In addition, , and sent 200,000 monks to the capital of the Dajing Dynasty to build fortifications."
Lotus Crown Taoist frowned slightly, "May I ask, Your Highness the Princess, if the two hundred thousand monks lent never returned?"
Gui Qing said calmly: "There are two options. One is that I send them to Fengdu, and the other is that your master puts some effort into sending them to reincarnation."
Master Lotus Crown listened quietly all the time without saying a word. Zhu Guan behind him couldn't sit still and seemed a little angry. Just kidding? The huge Baiyujing where Taoist immortals live is completely vacant? You want 200,000 monks to do some bullshit job with no return? Do you think this is your home territory and you can do whatever you want? Don't go too far! Even the sage masters and the Buddha did not dare to make such false claims. Who do you think you are? How can you have a higher status than them?
He vomited such a series of words in his heart, and immediately felt much better, ready to continue to be a Bodhisattva without any fire, air, or clay.
Guiqing lowered her head and played with her hair.
Taoist Lotus Crown immediately sensed something was wrong. After realizing it later, he glared at the young official Zhu angrily and cursed: "Get out, get away!"
The new Zhu Guan suppressed the anger and grievance in his heart and bowed respectfully: "I obey."
Seeing him exit the mansion with his own eyes, Taoist Lotus Crown's empty heart finally fell to the ground.
Just now, he was really afraid that the Lord of Fengdu would kill this ignorant thing in one fell swoop.
Gui Qing also raised her head again and looked at him squarely, "Your Zhu Guan disagrees, what about you?"
Taoist Lotus Crown knew that this was most likely the only chance. If he didn't give the answer on the spot, there would be no discussion in the future, so he had no choice but to follow the example of the generals of the secular dynasty and "kill first and report later".
Lotus Crown Taoist said bravely: "Okay, I agree."
"Sure?"
Guiqing didn't seem to ask him again.
Master Lotus Crown suddenly realized that it turned out to be a conversation between two heavenly beings, and he was an insignificant pawn from beginning to end.
Without warning, the woman in white disappeared.
Then a thin old man appeared beside Taoist Lotus Crown.
Lotus Crown Taoist Master saluted respectfully, and then asked cautiously: "Master, have we reached an agreement?"
"Well, that's almost it. You'll have to rely on yourself from now on."
"Rely on me?" Lotus Crown Taoist was puzzled.
"Go to the Dafeng Dynasty immediately and lead him into Taoism. From today on, you will be his preacher and protector."
Dao Zu paused and then said: "Of course, you just have to do your duty, and there is no need to participate in the dynastic war. Don't think that being a teacher is causing trouble to you. You are in harmony with the Prince's Dao, even far higher than Maybe you can find the opportunity for you and the sword cultivator from the secular dynasty to reach the ninth realm in him."
Lotus Crown Taoist looked solemn, bowed his hands in salute, and said in a deep voice: "Disciple, please remember this."
