100 years after breaking up with Taoist couple

After a long time, Lu Mubo's lips trembled and he asked, "Then... what should we do?"

Lu Hong said lightly: "This letter is from my confidant in the imperial court in the capital, so there is no mistake. Your majesty has already approved the papers on your fourth and fifth uncles. I am afraid it will not be ten days and a half months. Your imperial decree to serve the sick in Beijing is about to arrive in Dali."

"Now that your second uncle is seriously ill, whether he approved this paper or why he approved it is irrelevant, but you have to go to the capital this time."

Lu Mubo said in a low voice: "...they are going to Beijing to attend to His Majesty's illness. They clearly want to take me as a hostage to blackmail you, father."

Lu Hong paused for a moment, and there was a little smile on his face: "That's right, I finally figured it out."

Lu Mubo was startled, and looked up at him: "Father, aren't you worried?"

The smile on Lu Hong's face gradually faded, and he said, "Of course I'm worried, but your father isn't waiting for death completely, and there are still some ways in his hands to keep your life safe."

Lu Mubo was at a loss: "Huh?"

Lu Hong said lightly: "Your Majesty and I are the only two sons of the first emperor and the empress Yuan. Your second uncle has been raised as a prince since he was born, and he grew up beside the late emperor, but I was weak and sick since I was a child. I went to the mountain villa outside the palace to cultivate, and when I returned to Beijing at the age of 16, I had already become a temperament that was not welcomed by the late emperor, so I, the only younger brother who could shake the second brother's throne, finally let him let go mind."

Lu Mubo stared at him blankly, and said: "What... Second Uncle has never been suspicious of you... Otherwise, how could he let you go to Dali to be the Zhennan King?"

Lu Hong laughed lightly and said, "You will naturally understand in the future, but this is not what my father wants to tell you today."

Lu Mubo said, "What is that?"

Lu Hong said in a deep voice: "Actually, the place where the Empress Yuan sent me to cultivate was not a villa in the suburbs of Beijing, but a sect of cultivating immortals in the mountains of southern Xinjiang."

Lu Mubo was taken aback, his face was full of blankness: "Cultivation sect? How is it possible, aren't they never willing to say a word to our royal family?"

Lu Hong said: "That's true, but I don't know how my mother convinced them that this sect is proficient in medical science and alchemy. Maybe the doctor hung a pot to help the world. He couldn't bear to see me, a child of a few years old, lose his life, so she left me and took me into the family. Under the gate wall of one of the immortals."

Lu Mubo almost thought he was dreaming, but at this moment, these words that were close to fantasy were actually spoken by his father, which made him wonder where to doubt, so he just said blankly: "Then ... Then father, you can also spell now, and you can live forever?"

Lu Hong glanced at him lightly, and said: "Cultivators of immortals have an unwritten rule not to use spells to interfere with our earthly destiny. If they don't respect it, they will be punished by heaven. That immortal elder—that is, my master, just helped me I have recuperated my body, and occasionally taught me some medical principles and ways to strengthen my body, so that I am no longer plagued by diseases."

Lu Mubo said awkwardly: "Oh... I thought you, father, would live forever, so wouldn't mother and I..."

Lu Hong said: "This sect and my master have saved my life."

Lu Mubo suddenly remembered something, and suddenly said: "That's why you, my father, go to the mountains in the southern border every now and then..."

Lu Hong nodded slowly and said: "That's right. More than half a year ago, I learned from Beijing that His Majesty's health is not as good as before, and the difference is getting worse day by day, and your two uncles have already made secret moves to chat with Master I mentioned it at the time."

"He told me that there should be advances and retreats in everything. These years, your mother and I have retreated to the extreme in this southern border. If your second uncle—— His Majesty really died of a serious illness, your fourth uncle and five Uncle will not give us a way out, even if I don't fight for it, as long as one of them inherits the throne, in the future, your father and son and I will be the only descendants of the first emperor and Yuan empress, and there is really no way to retreat If you retreat, you will be silenced."

Lu Mubo's face turned pale, and he still said in a difficult voice: "This truth... my son understands."

"So, this time you are going to Beijing, but not to be a hostage." Lu Hong said in a deep voice.

Lu Mubo looked a little confused: "Father means..."

"Change retreat to advance." Lu Hong took out a small white jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Lu Mubo, "This jade pendant can save your life at critical moments. When you enter Beijing, someone will tell you what to do." Do."

Lu Mubo took the jade pendant, his heart moved, and he said: "This is...but didn't you say, father, that they can't interfere..."

Lu Hong said lightly: "Don't ask more questions that you shouldn't ask."

Lu Mubo choked up, and said, "Yes, then the son..."

"Wait, there is one more thing." Lu Hong stopped him, with a hesitant expression on his face, "The two people you met in Nanling, do you think you recognize them?"

Lu Mubo scratched his head and said, "I don't think I know each other, it's just a coincidence."

Lu Hong was silent for a moment, and said, "So that's how it is...you can go."

The second monk Lu Mubo was puzzled: "By the way, why did you bring them back to the palace?"

Lu Hong paused, and said: "At this moment, although I don't know why, I also have an intuition as a father... It seems that they will not be the secret agents of the capital, but the timing and behavior of this woman's appearance are too strange, it is better to be careful .I have asked Huaiyuan to investigate the details of the two of them. If there is really no problem, I will apologize and pay some gold and silver, and send them away."

Lu Mubo nodded and said, "It's up to my father to arrange... Then can I still contact them these days?"

Lu Hong seemed to be thinking about something else, and replied absent-mindedly: "You can do as you like, just be careful."

Lu Mubo responded and went out.

After he left the study for a long time, Lu Hong went to the door and closed the door of the study, walked back to the bookcase, twisted a celadon brush washer on the bookcase, and moved a few books. There was a muffled creaking sound, and he slowly turned a corner, revealing a small door for one person to enter sideways.

Lu Hong entered the door and walked down the steps of the secret room. After about half a cup of tea, he reached the bottom of the underground secret room.

The entire underground secret room is not too narrow, even a little too spacious. A rock lamp is placed on the stone walls on both sides of the secret room every three steps. The secret room is as bright as day. There are several pure black lotus flowers with strange appearance blooming in the pool.

Lu Hong pressed a small jade talisman into a groove beside the pool, and the jade talisman and the groove matched perfectly. After a while, the brilliance on the water in the pool changed, and a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe with a wooden hairpin on his head appeared. Nian cultivator, the cultivator's eyes were shining brightly, with a smile on his lips, he said, "Go back?"

Lu Hong said: "Well, I have told Bo Er about the matter." He paused, "Master, you really won't..."

The monk in the water snorted and laughed: "God's punishment? Backlash? Cultivation is to go against the sky. If you are afraid of this and that, wouldn't it be even more against the sky to prove the fruit? From ants like mortals to immortality and immortality, Wouldn't it be more like a mayfly shaking a tree and being overwhelmed?"

Lu Hong remained silent.

The monk in the water frowned and said, "What's the matter with you? Didn't you say that after you pass through this catastrophe and get married, the teacher will take you on the road? At that time, you will see a wider world." World, how ridiculous it is to know that you fought for the throne in the mortal world." Lu Hong finally said calmly: "Since Master is so disdainful, why do you still help me?"

The monk said: "You are my disciple, how can I watch your wife and children suffer and be oppressed by others in the future?"

Lu Hong was silent for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness. I really don't want Ruizhi and Bo'er to be in the future... But in fact, I don't really want to step into the world of immortal cultivators. I just want to live a normal life with them."

The monk in the water seemed a little surprised, and said with a frown, "You...you are so short-sighted! You know that as a mortal, your lifespan is only less than a hundred years, and once you step into the path, you may live as long as the sky and live forever. Longevity, how can the two be the same?"

Lu Hong murmured: "Yes, I am nearly half a hundred years old, and the remaining days are only about twenty years, I don't want to change my life against the sky... I will agree to your request, and it is only because you treat me It’s all about saving my life when I was young.”

"So, although I don't know why, since...you want me to fight for the throne, I will fight..."

The monk in the water said angrily: "You are really getting more and more stubborn. Whether you want to fight for the throne or not has nothing to do with being a teacher. I will help you, but I just want to teach you a truth. You have to fight for your own life, why don't you understand."

Lu Hong suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, don't you have any selfishness, Master?"

The monk in the water was stunned and remained silent.

"Then why do you want me to plant these things?" Lu Hong looked at the lotus blooming quietly in the pool, "I didn't want to disobey you, but don't think that I really don't understand anything."

Lu Hong's expression became a little indifferent: "In order to repay the kindness, Lu Hong will do whatever the master asks me to do, but if Bo'er really inherits the Datong in the future, I hope the master will stop judging the emperor of Dayue like me. , abide by your cultivation world..."

"Enough!" The monk snorted, "Think about it carefully, who saved your life, if it weren't for being a teacher, would you have lived to this age like today, have a wife and children? Now you Is this how you talk to your teacher, uttering wild words, and every sentence is rebellious?"

Lu Hong finally fell silent.

The monk in the water snorted coldly and said, "Since you know how to teach your son a lesson, don't be confused about right and wrong."

Lu Hong's expression froze, and then his expression changed: "You...you spy on me?"

The monk sneered, and said slowly: "Don't think how great you are as a mere mortal prince. Even your entire dynasty can be subverted under my supernatural power. Bottom line."

Lu Hong's chest heaved back and forth a few times, and said, "I'll just do it!"

Only then did the monk in the water snort with satisfaction, and said, "Lu Hong, Master is also for your own good. You said it yourself, you have a wife and son, so don't be ignorant of what's good and what's wrong, and bring your family down."

"Remember that it will continue to be like this in the future. If there are any new developments, you must inform the teacher as soon as possible."

Lu Hong was silent for a moment, and said, "After Bo'er enters Beijing, can that jade pendant really keep him safe?"

The monk smiled secretly: "He is the future emperor of your Da Yue Dynasty, so he will be safe and sound. But..." He paused, "If you don't want him to be the emperor, then you don't have the destiny and dragon energy to protect your body, but It's hard to say."
