one step closer to the end

"Can……"

Bian Xianglan bit her red lips with a complex expression, and said hesitantly, "What can I help you with? I'm not capable of usurping the throne for you!"

"There is no need to usurp the throne. I want to inherit the throne in a legitimate way, but there will be great resistance. After all, a generation of empress Wu Zetian only exists in ancient books..."

Concubine Long Zi said: "I already have a reputation, but many old-fashioned people still don't support me, and I don't dare to blatantly make friends with generals, but as long as you help me win a woman, I can get the support of most people. And get the military power!"

"Qiu Ning?"

Bian Xianglan raised her brows, Concubine Longzi nodded and said, "It's her! Qiu Ning is exquisite in all aspects, not only is she popular among generals, but also all the ladies and ladies regard her as a confidant, but she looks tactful but loyal. She only listens to our family. Master alone, so you have to help me convince her!"

"The only person who can sleep with her is our master, and she was trained by the master..."

Bian Xianglan gently shook her head and said, "Qiu Ning is a two-faced person. She is majestic outside, but when she returns to the mansion, she is more careful than the maids who serve her. Her eyes are so loving that they can't melt away. Besides, the master never let her sleep. It's her heart disease!"

Concubine Long Zi was surprised: "Why? I thought they slept together early!"

"Qiu Ning had a husband before, and she was afraid that the master would look down on her, so she was inferior and cautious..."

Bian Xianglan said with a wry smile: "Master has been kind to her for rebuilding. People in the west courtyard always laugh at her behind her back, saying that if the master drops a drop of urine on her feet, she can lick it with her tongue, and the master asked her to accompany her to the country of Ji. I will never go on a business trip at such a time!"

"Try as much as you can, she won't stay in Jiguo for long..."

Concubine Longzi patted her hand lightly, but suddenly there was a knock on the door of the room, and the guard shouted: "His Royal Highness! Minister Qiu Ning of the Dragoon Legion, please see me!"

"Let her in quickly..."

Concubine Long stood up in surprise and joy, Qiu Ning quickly opened the door and walked in, saluted the two girls and handed over a brochure, Concubine Long asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"Your Highness! The lord asked me to tell you that two pregnant women should talk about parenting, not state affairs..."

Qiu Ning stood by the tea table and said, "This booklet is called a talisman. It contains records of the relations of civil servants, military generals, and noble clans all over the country. The prince has circled the people you can win with a red pen and marked them with a red pen. Order me to help you fight, but don't drag Tan Qingning into the water, let her be a simple little woman!"

"Why is he so nice to me all of a sudden..."

Concubine Longzi couldn't believe it, but Qiu Ning said awkwardly: "The prince said...you are a bitch, if he doesn't help you, you can make troubles at home, but it's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to make things happen. Whether or not you have the destiny to be an emperor depends on your luck!"

Chapter 0525

The four countries of "Shunji Changtai" all attach great importance to the Spring Festival. Even if the two armies are facing each other before the battle, they have to put down their swords and guns and wait until the New Year is over before fighting. Dashun Kyoto is even more colorful, and there are endless dragon and lion dance teams on the streets. , The whole night of celebration is considered a new year.

However, this year's capital city is more lively than before. The dignitaries and dignitaries are like "catching a son-in-law under the list". They bring their beautiful daughters and "encounter" the rejuvenated Master Guoci all over the city. .

"Yo hoo~ hahaha..."

The little princess ran around all over the courtyard, chasing the teenagers with the sky monkeys, most of the girls in Zhao Wang's mansion were her age, and all the brothers and sisters of the little princess came. Boys and girls are playing wildly in the courtyard.

"Sit, sit, sit! Everyone sit down, the stove is burning..."

Bian Xianglan was the commander-in-chief in the big garden, and the relatives of the female relatives came to have the New Year's Eve dinner. The whole garden was surrounded by canvas to shelter from the wind, dozens of tables were set up in different areas, and the sky was filled with festive red lanterns. There is also a big stage.

"My lord! This is the gift book and list drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, please read it over..."

Song Chizhu was sitting in a warm shed in the garden, surrounded by more than 20 civil and military generals, almost half of the high-ranking officials in the court had come to celebrate the New Year, not to flatter Zhao Guanren, but to see the results Cizhen's demeanor when he was young.

"You don't need to show me these messy gifts, I can't even understand them..."

Zhao Guanren threw the ceremony book back, opened the roster and read it with Qiu Ning behind him, but an official asked, "Your Highness! Why did you bring two more princesses with you when the grandson of Emperor Ji named Yongning Princess? Do you want to make more friends?"

"Isn't it rare that the goods are not on the right board? Let people have more choices, so that they don't have to go back and forth..."

Zhao Guanren lied in a serious manner, just as Concubine Long Zi brought someone in, all the ministers hurriedly got up and saluted, Concubine Long Zi was naturally a corporal, and these people were all her supporters, they took this opportunity to have a blatant gathering.

"King Zhao! Master Guoci hasn't come yet..."

Concubine Long Zi sat by the stove with a smile on her face. Zhao Guanren looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "The old guy wears a pair of shorts and goes out to pick up girls. He doesn't even have a copper coin on him. Unless he reveals his identity, he won't be looking for girls." A village girl is a bachelor!"

"Pfft~"

A group of people were holding back their laughter and trembling, but after chatting for a long time, Yuniang ran in and shouted: "Master! Master Guoci is here, and he brought some... some strange women, yelling for you to go out to meet her." , look at what kind of girl he is!"

"Let's go! Let's see how good he is at flirting with girls..."

Zhao Guanren walked out with a smile, and everyone followed out curiously. When they came to the front yard and took a look, they saw Guoci in a military robe, a ermine cloak, a purple gold crown on his head, and a crown on his thumb. The big finger of pure gold looks aggressive.

"Little Trumpet! Look at my brother and my concubines..."

Guo Ci pointed at the back in a bullish manner, and saw a pretty young woman in a gorgeous dress, and two dexterous maids standing behind her, all three of them were jeweled and heavily made-up, suddenly seeing a large number of princes and high-ranking officials, they pinched each other in a panic Waist salute.

"..."

All the ministers and Concubine Longzi were a little dumbfounded. Anyone with a little discernment could see that these were clearly the three brothel girls. He is already a senior who has been killed by thousands of people.

"Haha~ You really have a unique vision, quickly take the three ladies to the side hall for tea..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and waved his hand, pulled Guoci to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Are you letting them take care of you, or are you redeeming them? You brought the three kiln sisters to the New Year's Eve dinner, what do you think?" Will it be the biggest joke next year?"

"I'm a concubine, not a wife..."

Guo Ci said solemnly: "It is better to marry a prostitute than to marry a prostitute. She has already redeemed her life and became a good man. He met me at Yuxian Bridge and had a good conversation. Seeing that I am talented but have nothing to do, he bought it for me out of his own pocket. What's wrong with this outfit?"

"You can pull it down, the waistbands of these trousers are not fastened, why..."

Zhao Guanren said contemptuously: "You haven't flirted with a girl for hundreds of years, right? Going out with your arms swung, without revealing your identity, there are only two endings, either a good prostitute or an amorous widow, even if you want to be a door-to-door son-in-law, three days is enough." If you can’t do it, the times have already changed!”

"Oh~ don't mention it, the atmosphere is too bad..."

Guo Ci raised her head and mourned: "I went to the county to find one with my ability. Now the girl's family is generous, and she can come out to pick a husband and son-in-law by herself, but as soon as she comes up, she asks me how much I earn every month, and whether I have a house or fields at home. As long as I say that my sleeves are clean, I will leave with a face!"

"Have you ever thought about why Zhao Ziqiang, who is known as a wife killer, is not a girl killer..."

Zhao Guanren laughed and said: "Sixty percent of his prey are wives, three percent are good husbands, and only one percent are innocent girls. If you ask him to flirt with a young lady, he can't do it in three days. Marrying a wife is a completely different procedure, you should figure it out!"

"Why?"

"Wives just want to be greedy, handsome and strong. It's best to make a quick decision..."

Zhao Guanren said: "But the innocent girl is going to get married. People have to observe your character first, consider your development, and at the same time contact other candidates. It can be done quickly in half a month, unless you just say that you are a big girl." Grandmaster Guoci, I'm sure you'll be able to back it up!"

"That's right! I actually ignored this matter..."

Guo Ci slammed his hands and said: "I only watched Zhao Ziqiang being a groom every night, but I didn't notice that most of them were married women. Later, he also relied on his wealth and fame to fascinate the young ladies. It's really hard to flirt with girls!"

"Of course it's difficult for you to find it in the city. There are a few big families who are not snobbish..."

Zhao Guanren put his arms around his shoulders and said with a smile: "After the new year, let's go north to Jiguo. The road is full of village girls, entourage and a lot of nurse girls. From now on, you will teach me how to practice Qi and martial arts, and I will teach you how to flirt with girls , Let’s learn from each other and discuss with each other, are you interested?”

"You still need me to teach you how to refine Qi? Didn't Zhao Ziqiang teach you..."

Guoci squeezed his wrist, poured profound energy into it and probed it, and said in surprise: "How did you refine the qi? The sea of ​​thunder and lightning pills has been formed, which can hold the energy of heaven and earth, but the air door is like a kitten peeing. Even if you practice like this for a lifetime, you will not be able to fill your dantian!"

"Because I only know the first three exercises..."

Zhao Guanren said: "I lost the jade tube that Zhao Ziqiang gave me. After I found the folk version "Thunderbolt and Lightning Will Kill You", I found that it had been tampered with since the fourth chapter. Tell me honestly, Zhao Ziqiang's unique knowledge Did you change it?"

"Hmph~ It's this seat..."

Guoci smiled triumphantly: "In order to stink him, I changed his exercises into something harmful, making everyone hate and scold him, but now it doesn't matter anymore, I can teach you the real Cultivation method, but you also have to teach me how to tease girls!"

"As a qualified veteran driver, I must pass on the incense..."

Zhao Guanren hugged him affectionately and walked back. When everyone saw his cunning and cunning expression, everyone was full of weird faces, but he said loudly: "Seventeen! After the Chinese New Year, my loving brother will go to Jiguo with me, and you Rest in peace and supervise the country in Beijing!"

"Really! This is really wonderful..."

Concubine Longzi greeted her with a happy smile, but Guo Ci raised her hand and said, "I know! Little Trumpet wants to trick me into being his bodyguard. Gay San likes him the most, but now I'm out of vulgarity, please Call me...Jia Baoyu!"

"Isn't it?"

Zhao Guanren said angrily: "Why don't you call Jia Nailiang, you don't look like Jia Baoyu, show some face, my master!"

"How's Jia Baoyu?"

A group of people were at a loss, only Guoci coughed lightly and said, "My ancestors were all surnamed Jia for eight generations, why don't you be ashamed, of course! My surname is Jia and the name is Baoyu, and my scientific name comes from a legend...Jia It’s true, Bai Yu is the horse for Tang Jin!”

"Oh! The master's scientific name should be Jia Yutang, what a good name..."

Song Chizhu hurriedly cupped his hands and laughed, but Zhao Guanren suddenly said: "What kind of understanding do you have? Didn't people already say that Jia Bujia, whose scientific name is Jia Bujia!"

"..."

Everyone was stunned, what kind of name is this.

Guoci said solemnly: "The name is just an appellation. You should call me brother Baoyu. The master calls me old. Let's go! Eat, eat!"

"Brother Baoyu! Please..."

Everyone cheered and walked forward, Zhao Guanren asked Yuniang to get a few hundred taels of silver, and sent a few brothel girls away. No matter what, they couldn't get on the stage, including Dong Ming prostitute, one of the four famous prostitutes. Can only eat with the servants.

"Little trumpet! Seventeen! You two come in with me..."

Jia Bu pretended to walk into the warm pavilion in the garden with his hands behind his back. Concubine Long Zi followed in and poured tea for the two of them. Zhao Guanren handed him a cigarette and asked, "Brother Liang! Who are the three homosexuals you are talking about, the Emperor of Ji Kingdom?" Is it a fart?"

"Bah~ I knew you would call me Jia Nailiang, you master and apprentice are really the same..."

Jia Bujia rolled his eyes at him and said, "The third gay is not the little emperor of the Kyrgyz kingdom, but their protector, Kshatrira, who is not much younger than me, looks like an Indian asan, and is also gay. , your master has been calling him the gay three!"

Zhao Guanren asked again: "It shouldn't be a problem for you to hit him, right?"

"do not know!"

Jia Bujia shook his head and said: "Actually, I have never fought with a homosexual three times. When your master beat him up and asked me to explode his ass with a bamboo pole, people thought he was not my opponent, and he was not Ji Guo's real ruthless character!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Guanren was surprised and said: "Could it be that there is a more ruthless grand master in Jiguo? Hongluan should be your defeated general!"

"The most ruthless Grandmaster kills without a knife..."

Jia Bujia poked his chest and said: "If I hadn't sneaked into the Ji Kingdom's camp and wounded Hong Luan, the Ji Kingdom's cavalry would have already broken through the pass and entered the hinterland of Dashun. Hong Luan would be the uncrowned queen of Ji Kingdom, gay When you see her three times, you have to kowtow!"

"Ha~"

Zhao Guanren picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "I think Hongluan is a beauty, but she is an old witch. She is also from the same era as you!"

"It seems that you really don't know anything about it. Zhao Ziqiang tricked you here..."

After Jia Bujia lit a cigarette, he smiled evilly and said, "History will not repeat itself, but it is always strikingly similar. More than 150 years ago, the Seventh Princess of Jin Kingdom gave birth to an illegitimate son who became the founding emperor of Daji, and his biological father's name Said...Zhao Ziqiang!"

"Pfft~"

Zhao Guanren sprayed out his mouthful of tea, spraying on Concubine Longzi's head and face, but Concubine Longzi was not annoyed, but was dumbfounded with him, and said in shock: "Could it be that the Daji royal family is his master's family?"

"Why Ji Guo suddenly compromised, why did he call him to be the son-in-law..."

Jia Bujia puffed out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "Hongluan was the female guard of the Seventh Princess back then. She recognized Zhao Ziqiang's best skill of inviting the gods, so she retreated a hundred miles and made a truce. When you see Hongluan At that time, according to the rules, you have to call her... Xiao Shi Niang!"

"Dang bang~"

The teacup in Zhao Guanren's hand fell to the ground, completely stupefied and dumbfounded, but Jia Bujia patted his arm again and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you came to the wrong country, little trumpet!"

Chapter 0526 Zhao Ziqiang's Past and Present

"Bang~"

A firework exploded in the air, illuminating the sky, and at the same time, all the guests cheered in unison. The actors on the stage were still performing hard, and the brats were running around, looking happy. Only the atmosphere in the warm pavilion is weird.

"Do you think history is surprisingly similar..."

Jia Bujia pointed at Concubine Longzi's belly and said with a smile: "Back then, Zhao Ziqiang was so powerful in the Kingdom of Jin. The Seventh Princess, who was already a married woman, committed adultery with him and gave birth to a child. The mother and son took advantage of the foundation he left behind to overthrow the Great Jin Empire. Although the Seventh Princess is not long-lived, she can still smile at Jiuquan!"

Zhao Guanren asked strangely, "Are you sure he is Zhao Ziqiang's son?"

"Haha~ Zhao Ziqiang watched his birth with his own eyes, can he mistake his son..."

Jia did not fake a smile and said: "The seventh princess was still a virgin back then, and the useless son-in-law had never slept in her bed in her life. Zhao Ziqiang was more straightforward than you. He said that the Kingdom of Jin had to change its dynasty and let the seventh princess give him a son to be the emperor. Seventh princess I slept with him that night!"

"Where's Hong Luan?"

Concubine Long Zi hurriedly asked.

"Back then, Hongluan was comparable to the Seventh Princess, how could Zhao Ziqiang let her go..."

Jia Bujia said: "Emperor Ji took his mother's surname Ye, and Hongluan's children also took her surname Yuan. General Qilin Yuan Shichu is her great-grandson and is blood relative to the current emperor, but this is a scandal after all. People who know about it have already Not much more, only the legitimate sons of the two families!"

"I know why you want to help Dashun, because you hate Zhao Ziqiang..."

Zhao Guanren said: "You don't want his descendants to dominate the world, so you helped Taizu Dashun to rebel. After destroying the former Ming Dynasty, he fought against the Ji Kingdom and captured the Pagoda of Bashan in one fell swoop, trying to find Zhao Ziqiang. Secret, right?"

"That's right! Back then, I even wanted to destroy the country of Ji in one fell swoop, but I didn't find anything in the pagoda..."

Jia Bujia said sadly: "Actually, Zhao Ziqiang is not his real name, his real body has long been destroyed, he seized a man named Zhao Ziqiang from the earth, and used his body to start from the beginning, and only then did he cultivate the later sky-reaching ability. !"

"Earth?"
