Chapter 23 (16)
The Qingtianzhai, the number one gang in the martial arts world, was destroyed and surrendered. It spread throughout the world within a few days. The Ancient Nights also became famous. The evil star had long been a name that scared the people in the martial arts world. It was just because he lived in Yinxue Palace for six years and did not make any great achievements. The Taoist jokingly called him a "out of the name", and became famous this time. The people hated the actions of the Qingtianzhai, so their view of Ancient Nights was separated from the original "cold-blooded God of Killing". Instead, they sprung like mushrooms after a rain, and many positive comments emerged.
Such achievements are more than several times more than Li Yijie. Li Yijie was ashamed and could not bear to face. He hid in the room all day and did not go out. He also avoided encountering Shen Shiyun and Xuanshuang, and provided them with laughter. An Yeyun was indifferent and did not look for him to fulfill his promise. When he thought that the Shadow Sect was not a blocked intelligence, Jiang Liechen would definitely hear such a huge disturbance, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied. He still couldn't escape this psychological shackles, and he only wanted to compete with Jiang Liechen for everything. It seemed that only by being recognized by him could he be considered truly successful.
Many of the bandits in Qingtian Village had no skills. After going down the mountain, only a few people worked with each other to do business, and their livelihoods were bleak. In desperation, they all joined the Eight Banners Army. Lu Qian had not yet officially won the title. He remembered that he was the leader of the village and was unwilling to be treated the same as his subordinates. He thought that even if he became an official, he would have to be the marshal.
On the second day after entering the palace, several maids came to serve him to take a shower, change his clothes, take off his robe, and put on his official uniform. Lu Qian did not have any detailed research on the Qing court's clothing, nor did he know the ranks of this dress, but he saw that the materials were luxurious and the patterns were exquisite, and he guessed that it should not be low. He looked in front of the mirror, straightened his hair, and said to himself: "I don't learn from Manchu shaving his head. Haunting Ye Yu and Li Yijie have privileges, so why can't I do?" He held up his official hat and solemnly put it on his head. On the way, he thought: "Concubine Yun didn't let me wait. Those who know how to cherish time are good women, I like it."
After being led to the gate of Yinxue Palace, a guard came in to report and almost immediately broke it out, saying, "Mr. Lu, Concubine Yun tells you to see you."
Lu Qian said in his heart: "She must be waiting for me too, otherwise there would be no such quick method. As the leader of the Qingtian Village, I have long been a handsome and elegant name, which has attracted the attention of Concubine Yun? If she can really make her devote herself to me, she may be able to rebel from the inside, kill the emperor, and welcome me to the throne. In order to repay, no matter whether she is so beautiful in the rumors, I will treat her well. If I can't be the queen, it will always be no problem to give her an imperial concubine. Hehe, the emperor recruited Qingtian Village to destroy my power. He must have expected that this move would be counterproductive, creating opportunities for me, but accelerated his demise. In Cao's camp, I still have the heart to Han. The common ruler of the world is determined!"
Just as he was thinking about it, a maid next to him pushed him and said, "Mr. Lu, Concubine Yun asked you to come in, why are you still dazed?"
Lu Qian was fantasizing about herself wearing a dragon robe, sitting upright on the dragon chaise with a majestic expression, hugging several beauties on the left and right. At the moment of her smugness, she pushed and screamed, and the scene in front of her burst like a bubble. She was full of regret and had nowhere to vent her feelings, and said angrily: "What are you urging me to urge me? Are you urging death or what? When I have finished my negotiation with Concubine Yun, I am your immediate boss. See if you dare to yell at me, pull and pull?"
The maid covered her mouth and smiled, "It's not too late to say these words when you really become a high-ranking official."
Lu Qian snorted, "Do you think I can't do it? Humph, I'll just be someone, and I'll open your eyes." He walked up the steps with great strides, cleared his throat in a low voice at the door, his face was solemn, his waist was straight, his eyebrows were drooping, and he walked into the hall with neither humility nor arrogant. He walked straight to the middle of the hall, raised his arms, bowed and bowed, and said, "Caomin Lu Qian, see Concubine Yun, the Empress, and the Queen Mother Jin'an." After that, he raised his gaze quietly and looked at her secretly.
At first glance, his heart suddenly jumped, and he thought to himself: "Is she Shen Shiyun? It's really beautiful! No wonder Li Yijie, a kind of honest gentleman, can be fascinated by her, and I understand it now. Oh, I didn't expect that there are such a stunning beauty in the world, which is for me to enjoy. If I don't accept it, it would be a waste of resources and let God down the beauty of creating human beings."
Seeing Shen Shiyun wearing silver-moon earrings on both ears, heavy makeup on her face, her two willow-leaf eyebrows were thin and long, her eyelids were painted with a layer of bright redness, and her eyelashes were raised high. Both cheeks were covered with rouge, which made her pretty face more delicate. Her cherry mouth and pursed lips slightly, intentionally or unintentionally exuded a seductive temptation.
Lu Qianchun was so excited that she thought, "She obviously dressed up in order to see me. It seems that she is a little special to me. When I ascend to the throne and become emperor in the future, she must accompany me. The question is just who will become older and who will become younger? Xueer's junior sister has learned some martial arts, and Yuner has many plans, which makes them jealous of me. I am a little reluctant to let anyone suffer any loss."
Seeing that he stared at him with a confused look, Shen Shiyun had guessed what he thought, and was not separated from the "common problem of men" that he had originally judged. She secretly despised her, but pretended to be a gentle smile on her face and said softly: "Lu Qing's family is free from courtesy. You are the leader of the Qingtian Village. You have made a great reputation in the martial arts world. That is a big man who will be so powerful that he stomped his feet. I can't afford to take it."
Lu Qian said: "The Empress made fun of me. In the past, I was so bold and absurd to do many absurd things. I even instructed the Jianye Escort Agency to commit crimes for a quid sound piano, which made the Empress frightened and felt really uneasy. Thanks to the Empress's wake-up call, I stopped the cliff in time and avoided going all the way. In the end, even if I regret it, it would be too late. The Empress is my great benefactor."
Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "It's good that you don't mind. This time, my palace planned to destroy Qingtian Village. I was worried that you would hold a grudge and would not stay by my side in the future to do things for me. I will feel relieved after hearing what you said."
Lu Qian said: "No, don't say such things. It is a great gift for the Emperor and the Empress to keep me as a single official and half a position without pursuing the crime of corruption. I will not dare to ask for him again. But... you have to give me some more time. Perhaps in the short term, I will still think of the old things in Qingtianzhai, and I miss you in my heart, but I don't mean to be unfaithful to you."
Shen Shiyun said: "That's reasonable and very good. As the saying goes, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? If you forget Qingtianzhai in a blink of an eye, I think you are too cold and not worthy of trust. As long as you stop gathering everyone and plan a comeback, no matter how long you want to adjust, I will not interfere."
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your mercy. In fact, this time, even if the last general is still brave, I am afraid no one will give me a chance. I went against the will of the people on the top of Taihang Mountain and bowed to the court, angering the brothers in the village. They all regard me as an enemy now. This misunderstanding will be difficult to explain for a while."
Shen Shiyun said: "You are for their sake. Even if those bandits cannot see clearly for the time being, in the future, the Qing Dynasty will truly achieve unification and pacify all the sects that have caused chaos, and the leaders will be punished. They should be glad that they choose at this time and understand that you have done your best and will forgive you."
Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "I hope this is the case." Thinking of other things, she could still bear it, but Cheng Jiahua openly betrayed, killed several elder brothers in the village, set fire to the mountain palace, and did everything he did, it was hard to forgive. However, if she directly called for justice to Shen Shiyun, she would definitely not pay attention to it.
After thinking about a clever plan, I came to her and whispered, "Empress, I think you are my own person, and I have to communicate with you in a little while. This time, among the generals who came down the mountain with Qingtian Village, there was a man named Cheng Jiahua. Oh, the master was unfortunate, and it was my unfilial disciple. Now he died with An Ye. He was the orphan of the Chen family who was destroyed by you six years ago. He was determined to take revenge on you. You must be careful. This person can do anything. He once cut off one of his arms without blinking. This time, he not only rebelled in public, but also killed several of my subordinates to express his loyalty to An Ye Ye. He also entered the palace, but it is afraid it will be unfavorable to you. You'd better do him earlier to avoid future troubles."
When Shen Shiyun heard Lu Qian's words, she immediately guessed that he was betrayed by Cheng Jiahua and held a grudge and wanted to use his own hands to remove him. However, he would know the inside story of Chen's family's destruction, and had to be more careful. She smiled and said, "Since he is the one who is the young master, I am not convenient for me to touch him easily. But I believe he is a smart person. In the palace, he should know how to be cautious in words and actions and will not cause trouble."
Lu Qian's plan failed, he laughed dryly and said, "That's good, that's good." Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Look at Lu Qing's expression, it seems that there is something difficult in his heart. You might as well tell me, maybe I can help you a little. If there is any inconvenience, I respect your meaning and will not force you."
Lu Qian smiled and said dryly: "To be honest, there are two things that the last general cannot let go. As early as when I was the leader of the big village, I had a very strong wish. The first thing was that I was framed, but now the mastermind is dead, and I feel much more comfortable. But there was an accomplice named Liang Yue who punched and kicked me in front of the heroes and seniors of major sects at the top of Kunlun Mountain, and in front of the heroes and predecessors of major sects, causing me to lose both my body and mind. This shame has been in my chest for more than six years. I have not been fantasizing about twisting his head off and kicking it as a ball. He was originally a junior disciple of the Diancang Sect. In order to help him cooperate, the old thief in Kongtong promised to destroy me and let him be the head of the Kunlun Sect. Humph, what's so proud of? He was just a puppet of the old thief. After this
For many years, the word "dai" may have gone long ago. I couldn't swallow this and kept hoping to send troops to destroy Diancang Kunlun. The rest of the Diancang Sect are indeed innocent, but in the end they have cultivated this damn bastard, and their sins are equivalent. Besides, although I was born in Kunlun, my disciples are betrayed and helped outsiders chase me. I remember all the sins others have committed against me clearly. They should not blame me for collecting this debt. What I believe is, 'I would rather teach me to betray the people of the world than to betray me.' And I also want to capture the boy Liang Yue and torture him with my own hands, but I will not let him die in an instant, but to make him lose his skin and not have a complete bone in his body. Finally, I will slowly feel pain in my heart to relieve my hatred!"
