The man cupped his fists and said to Qu Quji: "Dong Zhen is one of the Four Friends of Pengzhou in the middle of Sichuan. My brother is dealing with the two young ladies inside. If you have something to do, please wait a moment!"
Qu Quji glanced at Liu Jixing. He was sent by Quju to take care of Qu Keer. In fact, he had been following everyone to take care of her. It can be said that he has watched Qu Keer grow up since he was a child. He has always treated Qu Keer like a sister, even more than his master. And Qu Keer has never treated Qu Quji as a servant!
After seeing Liu Jixing that time, and then being invited to the palace for a banquet, the monster Liu Jixing gave Qu Keer an inexplicable feeling. Qu Keer may not know what she feels, but Qu Quji But he knew that Qu Keer had a crush on Liu Jixing!
Qu Quji was very happy because Qu Keer's appearance and her status as a concubine had prevented her from finding a suitable husband. To Liu Jixing, Qu Keer is still a young girl who has just become sensible, but in this era, Qu Keer is an out-and-out old girl! So Qu Quji naturally had a better impression of the notorious Liu Jixing being close to her!
Although Liu Jixing was the crown prince of the Han Dynasty, Qu Quji did not treat Liu Jixing's identity in the same way as others, perhaps because of the influence of Qu Ju and Qu Ke'er! When Qu Ju saw his sister and Liu Jixing leaving, he immediately asked Qu Quji to follow him. Although he did not say that he was protecting Liu Jixing and his party, the meaning was still obvious. Of course, the most important thing was the prince Liu Jixing who was traveling with them. Identity is too sensitive!
Qu Ju knew that the palace would definitely send people to protect him all the way, but having one more loyal Qu Quji would definitely make a difference! So Qu Quji followed everyone from a distance. Seeing that something was wrong, he wanted to get closer to Qu Keer just in case!
But this Dong Zhen was blocking the way, and the aura exuded by the other party was actually suppressing him. It's already a good time for Qu to go to Jiwai's house. It's the best time for everyone in their age. Although the Kungfu practiced by the inner family is not the kind of peerless Qigong, and it has not yet entered a high-level realm, the secret technique passed down by the powerful King of Jiaozhou in the southwest must not be too bad!
Qu Quji, who refused to admit defeat, got stronger when he was strong, and naturally burst out with momentum from all over his body. However, he was not that kind of reckless person, but he stood up straight and saluted Dong Zhen, and said loudly: "I have admired you for a long time. Your Majesty, the young master of a certain family is in the restaurant, I hope you can come for your convenience!"
Dong Zhen was obviously a little surprised by the change in Qu Qujiji's energy. He couldn't help but look at Qu Quji again. Seeing the extraordinary aura exuding from this little-known young man, he felt a hint of love for talents in his heart. But he still didn't move. Instead, he said calmly: "You were useless in the past. You are not my opponent now. Those two little ladies are full of poison. I can't do it, let alone you!"
Now that Qu Quji knew that Dong Zhen had no ill intentions, he felt much more relaxed. However, when he looked inside the restaurant, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment!
I saw countless rats from all directions quickly gathering towards the restaurant. First, they seemed to be summoned by something and being driven away from behind. Then, a large number of rats, large and small, rushed over in groups, as if they had been summoned by something. Summoned and rushed towards the restaurant.
The smaller woman in the restaurant seemed to be more energetic after eating two steamed buns. She was holding a leaf from nowhere and putting it to her lips to blow. Then there was a sharp and low sound. This sound didn't sound like a sharp scream, but it faintly came from a long distance, and it seemed that the farther away it was, the louder the sound was!
First of all, there was an explosion in the market outside. Those who were buying and selling had never seen such a scene before. Suddenly they saw so many rats, and they couldn't help but scream in surprise. Then the crowd was running around dodging the swarms of rats, big and small!
Involuntarily, you stepped on my foot, I grabbed your hand, and he hit someone's waist. In an instant, everything was in chaos! Everyone was dodging, and no one noticed that it was this girl calling. In the beginning, there were bold people who dared to hit things with objects or step on them with their feet. But as more and more mice rushed over, and some were as big as cats, these people fled in fear! There were screams and cries.
Although Suxin had never seen mice when she was a child, this was the first time she saw so many of them gathered together. She couldn't help but screamed in fright and clung to Liu Jixing's back. Liu Jixing couldn't help but look at her with her soft and delicate body pressed against his back. Suxin He couldn't help but look at the disgusting rat with trembling eyes. He was obviously so frightened that he didn't care about wearing men's clothes.
Although this Qu Ke'er had been practicing martial arts since she was a child and would go out for hunting, girls were timid by nature, not to mention seeing so many rats, so she couldn't help but hug Liu Jixing's arm. She was trembling all over and her breasts pressed against Liu Jixing's hand. She immediately thought that something was wrong and wanted to let go of Liu Jixing's arm. Unexpectedly, Liu Jixing grabbed his little hand tightly with his backhand! Qu Keer was ashamed and happy to see Liu Jixing looking at her with concern, and she felt much more comfortable and less scared!
Anadai was standing with Suxin, but she was next to Xiaoyue. Seeing Suxin and Qu Keer pestering Liu Jixing, she could only jump to dodge the big and small mice that came over, although those mice didn't even Close, but also frightening.
At this time, I looked at the mice on the ground, on the table, and on the wooden fence. There were gray and black mice of all sizes squirming everywhere.
What was surprising was Xiao Yue. She sat there without moving at all, but there was a faint wall of air around her body. She held Anadai's hand, and Anadai immediately felt a warm feeling. The air flow penetrated into her body, and she saw the mice avoiding each other two feet away from her. Anadai was inexplicably surprised, and she felt much more at ease in her heart. However, she was also frightened and looked around in fear from time to time. Those tightly packed together mouse.
Shi Shao looked at Xiao Yue with some surprise. He had naturally heard Liu Sheng mention Xiao Yue's name, and occasionally heard friends in the world mention this talented girl. But he had always thought that Xiao Yue's reputation was greater than her actual status. Now when he saw Xiao Yue's skillful and powerful body protection, he could only feel surprised.
When I saw him, he also used his inner strength to protect Liu Jixing and the others. Even Chen Yanshou, standing between Xiao Yue and Liu Jixing, was exposed, but his originally fair face became even paler and weaker. ! His whole body was shaking as he looked at the mouse. If Liu Jixing hadn't moved, he would have run away long ago.
Deng Lin had been looking at the two women cautiously. He knew that the strength of the two women was that neither his second brother was a match, so he never dared to get too close. But after seeing the situation on Liu Jixing's side, he couldn't help but be a little surprised! He obviously knew that he had made a mistake. He did not expect that the person here had such powerful internal skills. Without knowing whether he was an enemy or a friend, his expression kept changing and he stood there even more motionless.
The two women were obviously very surprised. The older woman looked at the people here quietly. Asked Liu Jixing: "Who are you!" Apparently he didn't take Deng Lin seriously at all, but he became interested in Liu Jixing and others.
"Little madam, please stop. Don't brag. It attracts so many dirty things. We have noble people here. If you are frightened, a certain family will take action to offend the young lady!" Shi Shao knew that this was not the way to go. Although Liu Jixing did not He moved, but his expression changed. Little did he know that Liu Jixing was actually stunned. He spoke loudly to the two women, and his calm and calm look was obviously not trying his best. What's more, his calm and composed look actually made him look like a great master!
Before the smaller woman stopped, more and more rats from everywhere gathered in the restaurant. For a while, I saw that the restaurant was full of rats, tightly packed together, and some were even piled up. got up.
Except for these three places with people in the restaurant, the rest of the place is already full of rats, and more and more are coming from outside. The rats are all black and squirming, and the squirming blackness makes people's hair stand on end.
On Liu Jixing's side, rats outside a few feet away could not enter, and some rats could not stand the squeezing. They piled up in piles and made a squeaking sound that made people's bones numb.
The restaurant owner was still hunting rats inside at first, but then he saw more and more rats, and they seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. He was so frightened that he had to jump out of the wooden fence and ran away.
The older woman waved her hand to signal the younger woman to stop, but the mice still didn't stop. She smiled slightly and said to Deng Lin: "We are just two weak women. If it weren't for your brother's evil intentions, would we be angry? Are all you Central Plains people so bad?" Her bright big eyes His eyes were fixed on Deng Lin, and his tone was aggressive and left no room for error.
Deng Lin's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but Dong Zhen outside shouted: "My brother is kind enough to entertain you two little ladies, but he just wants to treat you to eat something because your pretty little lady is starving. I just casually asked about your origins. I just wanted to make friends, but I didn’t expect that you would actually use poisonous tactics on him. Get the antidote quickly!"
Outside, he and Qu Quji kept kicking away the rats that were coming from all directions, while questioning the two women anxiously and angrily. It was obvious that he was not as powerful as Deng Lin and Shi Shao. In terms of personal level, even concentration is far less powerful than Deng Lin.
Liu Jixing on the side gradually picked up the clues. He must be Wang Zhi, the second eldest childlike scholar among the four friends in Pengzhou. He thought these two women were beautiful. Although he invited them to eat, he himself didn't know why he was offended. These two people were poisoned by these two women.
Apparently Deng and Lin were worried about Wang Zhi and followed them all the way. They obviously wanted to find the antidote on the two girls, but they were taboo about using poison to get too close to the two women. Liu Jixing knew that people like him were just accidentally involved in the incident, so he couldn't help but signaled Shi Shao to stay put and see what was going on!
Although Qu Quji wanted to come outside, the large group of rats blocked his way. Furthermore, seeing that Qu Keer was safe for the moment, he was afraid that if he rushed over, the two women would misunderstand him. His ancestors are also from Jiaozhou, so he naturally knows how powerful the foreigners in Dali are! Especially when it comes to the use and cultivation of poison, being careless will harm Qu Keer, so he has no choice but to vent his anger on the mice.
Suddenly, no one was running outside the market area, and then there was another rush of footsteps, and a group of more than ten officials were seen running over with knives in hand. From a distance, they saw a dark group of rats. , everyone was stunned and at a loss.
Yaozhou, a side hall in the imperial city.
Liu Sheng's whole body was soaked in a large wooden barrel with a diameter of two meters, with only one head sticking out of the water in the barrel. The water in the barrel was steaming, and there was a strong smell of medicine everywhere! If Liu Jixing saw his haggard look at this time, he would definitely feel like one of those drug addicts in later generations, skinny and pale, as if he was addicted and unable to extricate himself.
A Taoist priest who looked to be in his forties, with a clean beard and a fair face, was busy at the side with his sleeves rolled up. He kept adding some powdered medicine into the wooden barrel where Liu Sheng was sitting, and his concentration made people feel that he was wholehearted and cautious. The temperature of the water in the wooden barrel was obviously very high, and mist was constantly rising. There was a young Taoist priest nearby who was constantly heating the water in the wooden barrel.
Gong Chengshu and Yang Jiong were standing aside. Gong Chengshu still looked worried, and he was there respectfully, with a heavy face and a look of loyalty! Yang Jiong stood with his hands behind his back with a normal expression, quietly watching the movements of the middle-aged Taoist priest.
The meeting with Xia Qinghou that day obviously did not affect his practice, but seemed to make him even more mysterious! His deep eyes look even more intimidating and wise!
"Master Tang, am I useless?" Liu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of exhaustion. He looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest and saw that he was still adding medicine to the barrel.
This middle-aged Taoist priest is Master Tang, the famous master of medicine in Nanhan Palace. He has been the most respected and trusted by Liu Sheng over the years. He didn't say a word. Although he looked like he was only in his forties, the corner of his eyes showed wisdom and depth, and the look on his face when he raised his head casually gave people a feeling of high energy. Anyone who knows him knows that this is a good thing for his appearance. A master, his real age is at least over seventy years old.
He was still concentrating on adding the medicine, and finally it seemed that all the medicine in the porcelain bottle in his hand was added to the wooden barrel. Seeing that Liu Sheng's face seemed to look better at this moment, Master Tang slowly looked into Liu Sheng's eyes. He looked so attentively and attentively, as if there was a flower on Liu Sheng's face. After a long time, he slowly shook his head! But still no sound.
"What a powerful poison! What a cruel heart!" Master Tang's eyes were a little erratic at this moment, and he murmured like a babble: "It's been ten years! It's been ten years, and the poor man has just been able to suppress this ** The medicinal properties of this medicine, if His Majesty hadn’t been so extraordinary in these years, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to survive today!”
It seems that his words are very authoritative. Liu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but also said quietly: "I am very relieved to be able to survive until today! After all, my young slave has grown up now!" He turned his head and looked towards Yang Jiong and Gong Chengshu. , he said slowly: "Brother Lingli! Do you think I should be happy?"
Yang Jiong said nothing and looked into Liu Sheng's eyes. He seemed to be touched by something in his heart and lowered his eyelids gently. After a slow pause, he said: "Yes, your Majesty should be happy now. Although your Majesty is being criticized by people in the government and the public, it is because the world does not understand your majesty and does not understand your majesty. Your majesty has sacrificed for the foundation of the Han Dynasty and his ambitions." There are too many things, and I have been burdened with too much over the years, but His Majesty has laid a good foundation for the founding of the Han Dynasty. If the prince inherits the throne in the future, he will definitely make the Han Dynasty continue to suffer!"
Gong Chengshu on the side seemed to want to say something, but seeing that Liu Sheng didn't reply to Yang Jiong, it was difficult for him to say something. But seeing that Liu Sheng remained silent, he had served Liu Sheng for many years and was very good at figuring out his thoughts. Besides, he had been in power for many years following Liu Sheng's instructions, so he said a few vague words: "Your Majesty, there is no need to go through this process." Don't worry, with Master Tang's skill and His Majesty's own excellent practice, Your Majesty will surely get better slowly!"
Liu Sheng laughed bitterly, but he was not angry! He would not blame Gong Chengshu for being perfunctory. Without these minions, he would not be able to explain and implement many things. But they must stay within their control. He knew that Gong Chengshu had not been simple these years, but the only thing was that he had always been loyal to himself. "Qing Nu'er will definitely not let me down!" Liu Sheng looked straight at the carved beams and painted pillars on the top of the palace, but his thoughts went back to more than ten years ago!
In the last years of the Han Dynasty, more than a dozen of Emperor Gaozu's sons had grown up. Emperor Gaozu usually liked his youngest son, King Hongchang of Yue, Liu Sheng, the fourth son of Emperor Gaozu, and his third brother, King Hongdu of Qin, who were very close. Originally, neither of them had a chance. They competed for the throne, but the premature death of their eldest brother Yong Wang Yaoshu made these brothers ready to take action.
Before this, Emperor Gaozu originally liked Jiao Wang Hongcao who was most like him, but unfortunately, Jiao Wang died on the battlefield in the Battle of Jiaozhou. Now it is obvious that he likes Yue Wang Hongchang, and Qin Wang Hongdu has him in his heart, because besides his elder brother who died young, he is the eldest son. However, he was intimidated by the prestige of Emperor Gaozu and did not dare to act recklessly. He could only constantly win over his brothers to support him and attack those brothers who hoped to seize the throne with him.
As a prince, Liu Sheng is also passionate and wants to ride his horse and whip across the world. Perhaps because he had a very powerful father since he was a child, Liu Sheng has always kept a low profile and dare not show his talents too much. It wasn't until Emperor Gaozu was about to become critically ill that he knew his opportunity had come.
However, he did not let himself stand out and be public, but made friends with people from all walks of life. Among them were Yang Jiong and Shi Wu, who were mentored by Emperor Gaozu. Both of them were extremely talented and were praised by Emperor Gaozu. Those who had been mentored by Emperor Gaozu were valued, and even Pan Chongche was valued as much as before.
Liu Hongdu was also scheming. As the de facto eldest son at the time, he quietly made friends with the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government to gain sympathy and trust. At the same time, he unbridledly recruited four or five brothers as his accomplices. At that time, many speculative ministers in the court joined him, and many strange people and strangers also joined the service of the King of Qin in order to gain wealth.
Why didn't Liu Sheng get the limelight on his own? Because he knew his father, Emperor Gaozu, too well. As the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and once the best master in the world, Gaozu was too shrewd and excellent in all aspects. First, he proclaimed himself the emperor of Lingnan but the Central Plains did not dare to invade. Then he publicly relinquished his false reputation as the best in the world, but people in the world did not dare to no longer recommend rankings on the celebrity list! Who is this! What does this mean? This can only be said to be awesome! So cool!
With a father like this, even if he was terminally ill, Liu Sheng would not make any move until he died. Even if you want to move, you can only show weakness and pretend to be stupid.
Emperor Gaozu knew his sons better than his father. He sent both Liu Sheng and Liu Hongdu to his own fiefdom in other places, but Liu Hongdu was obviously not willing to do this. Before leaving, he asked Liu Sheng to gather his brothers together, and then secretly put an invisible poison in everyone's food. This poison was not actually poison. It would only react when combined with another substance. Emperor Gaozu didn't notice it at the time, and Liu Hongdu had given Liu Sheng the so-called antidote in advance, and of course Liu Hongdu himself took it.
As things developed, Liu Hongdu took an unexpected turn. Before the drug could take effect, the two of them were recalled halfway back to Prince Xing's Mansion. Later, under the persuasion of several veterans, Wang Fan, Emperor Gaozu appointed King Qin to be the crown prince, and he ascended the throne naturally. But instead of detoxifying these brothers, he was preparing to get rid of his own brothers.
What's this? What is this? There is nothing more terrifying than the loss of family ties in the world. This is the most poisonous thing in the world!
The human heart is better than the human heart, and Liu Sheng also had this awareness, but he was so conceited that he did not expect that this poison would torture him for the rest of his life until the day he died.
Naturally, Liu Sheng would not wait for death. He would respond to Liu Hongdu as he pleased and use his accumulated strength at the same time. Before Liu Hongdu could secure his seat on the throne, he was eradicated by Liu Sheng with one blow. Liu Hongdu and his unstable world became Liu Sheng's, and Liu Sheng got his wish and ascended the throne of the Han Dynasty!
Many people spend their whole lives researching and cultivating poisons, but they don’t know it! The most poisonous thing in this world is the human heart!
The most poisonous thing in the world! The most poisonous thing is the human heart!
Liu Sheng had been poisoned before he ascended the throne. It was a colorless and odorless drug, and there would have been no problems for three to five years! But later, the Shang Emperor Liu Bin (Hongdu) saw that Liu Sheng was hiding his secrets, so he made a murderous intention and intensified the potency of the medicine. But what he never expected was that Liu Sheng would kill him first.
At that time, Liu Sheng's skills were superior to Yang Jiong and Shi Wu, but after the poison eroded his body, Liu Sheng almost lost his skills and became an ordinary person. With the help of this strange man, Master Tang, he saved his life, but he I have been unable to recover from this, especially since my body is getting worse day by day. Now it is basically impossible to suppress the residual poison that was not eradicated that day!
Liu Bin (Hongdu) plotted against his younger brother. He never expected that Liu Sheng's plot was deeper. Not only did he corrupt his heart, but he also took action preemptively! But what Liu Sheng didn't expect was that even with his impressive skills, he couldn't defeat the invisible poison that had no antidote, because Liu Bin (Hongdu) never thought about letting his brothers live.
Liu Sheng did not expect that his younger brothers would also follow his example, secretly gathering power and preparing to give him a heavy blow. Liu Sheng decisively struck first, but Liu Sheng's cruel behavior has since left its mark in history. Eternal infamy.
Liu Sheng has no regrets. He knows that if he doesn't take action, he will become a thing of the past or become ashes like his brothers. He has his own ideals and ambitions! So in his hands he captured more than ten states of Chu! If the poisonous reaction in his body hadn't been too strong, he knew he would definitely be able to conquer the Central Plains!
Sitting in the barrel, Liu Sheng knew that all this seemed to be just a dream!
