Lu Qingshan never expected that his father would deal with the eighth prince, whom he was also afraid of, in this way, and that he would ascend the throne soon thereafter.
When Anhewei searched for five days but failed to find Lu Qingyao, Lu Deqing ordered the search to be stopped. Although the news that the eighth prince died of illness is easier to accept than the previous news that the eighth prince committed suicide, it is still not enough to convince everyone in the court and calm the left and right prime ministers who are constantly admonishing and questioning the government.
Although this old man does not enter the court, there are still many people in the court who say good things about him. Lu Deqing thought to himself, although he didn't know whether the prime ministers were afraid that the death of the eighth prince would remind the people of the eighth prince twenty years ago, thus shaking the emperor's majesty in the hearts of the people, or whether the prime ministers really had private dealings with the eighth prince. He has such a close friendship that even the prime ministers around him need to make plans for him. Lu Deqing still accused Lu Qingyao of treason in his heart.
The prince was also worried. Although he didn't know the whole story about the eighth prince, he had heard about it through his own connections. Although Lu Qingshan didn't know that Lu Qingyao was the Six Musketeers, this was the first time he heard about Lu Qingyao's association with the Demon Sect. You can't believe everything people say, but you can't disbelieve it either. Lu Qingshan had no worries or precautions against Lao Ba's indifferent character before. He felt that his father was so guarded against Lao Ba, and Lu Qingshan was somewhat afraid of Lao Ba.
Not long after Lu Qingshan's concerns began, he was stopped by his father's forced Zen position. Rumor has it that after the eighth prince died of an epidemic, Emperor Ming often dreamed of his eighth brother, who was killed by him, and then became distracted. He often saw phantoms calling for his life during the day, and finally suffered from aphansia. When Emperor Ming was sober, he knew that he was no longer able to handle state affairs, so he hastily passed the throne to Lu Qingshan one month after the eighth prince died of illness.
In the 20th year of Emperor Ming's reign, he was located in Lu Qingshan, named Emperor De, and the country was named Yuan Qi. The officials who had previously questioned the advice were now required to assist the new emperor, and the court became quiet from then on.
This time, Si Tianjian's supervisor is still alive. This time the transfer does not even require a secret edict, and he does not need to die.
After Lu Deqing passed the throne, the apathy did not improve at all. Less than a month after the first year of Yuan Qi, Emperor Ming died of illness, and weddings and feasting were banned nationwide for one month. From then on, no one in the palace mentioned the Eighth Prince or anything related to him.
When Lu Qingshan took over the throne, he also took over the Anhe Guards. From then on, the Anhe Guards became his close bodyguards. He Qun reported the responsibilities and ongoing affairs of the Anhe Guard to Lu Qingshan. Only then did Lu Qingshan learn that his father had been planning to establish this intelligence agency against the Jianghu and the demon sect twenty years ago. plan of. Under the instructions of Lu Qingshan, the Dark Crane Guard still sent out whistles to inquire about information in the rivers and lakes. At the same time, some whistles were needed to disguise themselves and sneak into various sects. More whistles were also sent to the direction of the Demon Realm that had not been penetrated to inquire about information. .
Before the new emperor ascended the throne, He Qun thought that the then crown prince was just an honest prince who always protected himself. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he discovered that the new emperor had a greater desire for power than Lu Deqing. Lu Deqing just wanted to eradicate the demon sect and regain the demon realm, while Lu Qingshan wanted to use his own power to control the entire world.
Hidden in the abyss, He Qun had to admire Lu Qingshan's patience and dormancy for more than ten years. As a courtier, he was sincerely convinced by Lu Qingshan.
In a small corner not far from the imperial city, in a dilapidated mountain hut, Lu Qingyao finally opened his eyes seven days after falling off the cliff.
It's just that it's extremely difficult to open the eyes. They seem to be wrapped by something. The brow bones hurt, the eye sockets hurt, the face hurts, and the whole body hurts. The huge pain let him know that he was still alive. In his memory, he jumped down by himself. He was completely devastated and was certain to die. I didn’t expect that I could still feel pain now, and I saved my life. Oh, I lost my life in vain.
After taking some time to adapt to the pain around his eyes and the light he hadn't seen for a long time, his vision slowly returned to normal. If you look carefully, you will see a shabby but clean thatched hut in front of you. Nearby is an old man wearing equally shabby but clean clothes. In the old man's hand stands a bamboo pole that is the same as a walking stick, but it is different from the common bamboo pole. What's interesting is that this pole seems to be very old, some years old, and there is a jade ring inlaid on the handle at one end.
Now he knew. Although he didn't know where exactly this place was, he should be in the Beggar Clan. In front of him was the leader of the Beggar Clan, Xiao Jianrong. Xiao Jianrong was once a swordsman, but finally became the leader of the Beggar Clan. According to legend, the gang leader was already at an age when he knew his destiny. Lu Qingyao glanced out of the corner of his eye, and it was indeed true. Xiao Jianrong's temples were gray and already showing signs of aging.
The Six Musketeers traveled around the world and competed everywhere, but they never competed with the Beggar Clan. It's not because the Six Musketeers are arrogant and disdain to interact with the Beggar Clan, but because the real masters of the Beggar Clan always keep a low profile. The Shenlong never sees the end, rarely interacts with outsiders, let alone compete with others.
Unexpectedly, this time, I would be able to see the leader of the Beggar Clan directly. Unfortunately, Lu Qingyao had been hit by Xiaoyao Powder, so he couldn't compare.
Lu Qingyao tried to open his mouth to ask, but later he realized that his whole head was wrapped in cloth. Did you hurt your face after jumping? Well, if he was completely changed, no one would know that he was the Eighth Prince who was being searched throughout the city.
But the pain really hurt. He tried to speak and found that his face was burning with pain.
"If you want to survive, it's best not to move or talk." Xiao Jianrong's voice came from above. He sounded much younger than his age, soft and powerful, gentle and perfunctory, just like Lu Qingyao's life It has nothing to do with him.
Lu Qingyao looked at him, feeling a little frustrated at not being able to speak. Although he had never thought about becoming the best in the world in the past few years, he never spared anyone. Not being able to speak was killing him.
Xiao Jianrong took a handkerchief, dipped it in some medicinal solution, and moistened Lu Qingyao's mouth bit by bit, so that the medicinal solution could enter his throat drop by drop. It is indeed difficult for this person who cannot sit up at all to take medicine. This is the only way he can do it.
This smell is like hemp boiling powder.
After feeding half a bowl of soup back and forth like this, Xiao Jianrong saw that Lu Qingyao's pain had eased a little, and continued, "I picked you up from the bottom of the cliff, and it has been like this every day for the past seven days. Thanks to the numbness, you can It didn’t hurt to death.”
Lu Qingyao was unable to speak or move at this moment. Not long after he woke up, he used the pain all over his body to feel the injuries on his body. Several ribs on his chest should have been broken, and his right hand should have been hung on a branch when he fell. It's scratched. There should be a fracture in the forearm of the left hand. Both legs are scratched from falling off a cliff. The right leg is fractured but has been fixed with a wooden board, so it shouldn't be tight. It's just that the scars on this face are really hard to feel, because there is pain everywhere on the face, especially around the eye sockets.
"When you rolled down the cliff from the mountain, you hit a big rock. Both eye sockets were hit beyond recognition, and your nose was almost broken. Fortunately, you have been in a coma. Xiao has some medical skills, so the pain of changing skin and peeling off bones is gone. It's over. When you recover, you will have a different face." Xiao Jianrong took out the equipment for skin removal and bone removal. Lu Qingyao caught a glimpse of the equipment inside to open the skull and crush the bones. The four words "Slightly Mastery of Medical Skills" , Xiao Jianrong is really too self-effacing.
Fortunately, Xiao Jianrong didn't seem to know his identity, whether he was the Eighth Prince or the Sixth Musketeer.
"In two hours, I will give you another dose of Ma Fei Powder. You can lie down and rest first." Xiao Jianrong picked up the still warm medicine bowl, stood up and left. Only then did Lu Qingyao see clearly that the leader of the Beggar Clan was also a handsome and gentlemanly man.
I don't know if Anhewei and the others are still searching for his whereabouts, but that doesn't matter. With his current appearance, when he can stand up, he will be nothing more than a useless person who cannot use his internal power.
The effectiveness of Ma Fei Powder was still very strong, and Lu Qingyao fell asleep again after a short period of thought.
After sleeping on it, it won't hurt so much.
