In charge

When Shu Yunci saw Emperor Yuanming, he got up and came to pay his respects.Emperor Yuanming saw that Shu Yunci's face was pale and had lost the rosiness that a young girl should have. He frowned and asked, "Are you sick? Why don't you ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Shu Yunci shook his head, "Father, don't worry, Zeyin is fine."

Emperor Yuanming looked at her disapprovingly, "But for your mother?"

Shu Yunci raised his head, his bright eyes made his face pale as snow. "Father, my mother is seriously ill. As a daughter, I can save as much as I can. Please don't hinder my son, and don't blame my mother."

When Zhong Zhaoyuan fell ill, Emperor Yuanming's first thought was who would take care of Zeyin in case Zhong Zhaoyuan passed away.As for Zhong Zhaoyuan herself, to be honest, Emperor Yuan Ming had little impression of her.Now that he knows that Zeyin did this to save his mother, he will inevitably blame Zhong Zhaoyuan.

"Ze Yin, your mother's illness has been healed by the imperial physician. You are still young, so you can't do much to help, so why bother yourself." Emperor Yuan Ming didn't care about the life or death of a concubine, as long as his precious daughter was safe.

Shu Yunci has long been used to the indifference of his father towards his mother over the years.She nodded meekly, "I know."

Seeing his daughter being so well-behaved and sensible, Emperor Yuanming finally felt relieved.After leaving Jin Ming Tang, he ordered He You to arrange for someone to take good care of Shu Yunci's body, and not let her act recklessly like this.

He You nodded, but complained in his heart.How can this Princess Zeyin be an obedient master?

Zhong Zhaoyuan soon discovered that her daughter would come to input her internal energy every night to sustain her life. She hugged her daughter and said with tears: "Ci'er, mother is getting old, so it's no pity to go someday. But you You are still young, you have so many grand plans and ambitions to realize, don't hurt yourself because of your mother."

Shu Yunci wiped Zhong Zhaoyuan's tears with a handkerchief. "Mother, who else do you have? If your daughter can't even save you, what are you talking about? Mother, don't worry, I have a solution."

Zhong Zhaoyuan doesn't understand her daughter's thoughts, she only knows that she can't let her daughter spend it like this to save herself.At this moment, she had already contemplated suicide.

Shu Yunci poured in internal energy every night to keep her mother's life alive. After all, she was young, and her own internal energy wasted like this, she was obviously a lot haggard.This was noticed by the old men at the bottom of the lake.

"You are practicing Guiyuan Pohun. At this time, your body and mind should be in the best condition. If there is a slight defect, you will go crazy. I told you this a long time ago." The old man was very serious. The first disciple of the annual harvest is so useless.

"Practice can be slowed down, but my mother's poison can't be slowed down." Shu Yunci's attitude was very firm.She can do nothing, she wants to save her mother.

"Slow?" The old man sneered, "You know how difficult it is for you to adjust your skill to the current state. You have been waiting for two years for this. Do you have another two years to wait?" The apprentice's hopes are too high, too high to allow for any mistakes or omissions.

Shu Yunci lowered his head and thought for a while, "Then continue to practice, I will control myself and not go crazy."

"Why do you dare to say such a thing?" The old man got angry early in his heart.

Shu Yunci raised his head, stared at the big old man's sinister eyes, raised his chin, "Just because I am Shu Yunci."

The old man was so angry that he slapped his palm on the stone bed, making a palm-shaped pit. "Little Ci'er, you've really lost your composure."

Shu Yunci's arrogance also came out. "Big old man, shall we make a bet?"

"What are you gambling?"

"If I can practice Guiyuan Breaking Soul before Jiji, you will immediately teach me the third level of Guiyuan Kung Fu." Shu Yunci had a premonition that there was not much time left for her.

The big old man blew his eyebrows down in front of his eyes, "Okay!"

"How about adding some prizes?" Shu Yunci was still not reconciled.

"Say it." The old man was a little impatient.

"I want to learn your sword skills." Her eyes fell on a long sword placed on the stone bed beside the old man.

The old man took a deep breath, "Little Ci'er, don't be greedy for too much martial arts. Look at you these two years..."

"Do you agree or not?" Shu Yunci directly interrupted the old man's chatter.

"What if you can't do it?" The old man wasn't dissatisfied with being interrupted, he was used to it in the past few years.

Shu Yunci smiled, "I will give you my life."

"What should I do with your life?" the old man growled.Does this little girl know that it is not easy for her to find an apprentice after decades, does she know her painstaking efforts?

"Do you want the throne?" Shu Yunci walked up to the old man with a smile, reached out and patted his shoulder, "You are so old, why don't you dislike it? You taught me that I am different from others? Then why can't you believe that I can do things that others can't? Big old man, you should think about what you can teach me in the future."

The old man blew on his beard and stared fiercely for a long time, but it had no effect at all.Now he raised his hand to touch Shu Yunci's head, "It's good that you know. But if this is the case, why should I bet with you?" A sly light flashed in his old eyes.

"Because you need a reason to teach me to return to the original and destroy my soul." She whispered close to the old man's ear, "You don't want to hear those old men making noise, do you?"

"Oh ha ha ha!" The old man laughed heartily.Sure enough, decades of waiting were not in vain, this apprentice is so caring.

"Hey! What are you doing!" In the end, something Shu Yunci didn't expect happened.The old man suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her wrist, Shu Yunci only felt a powerful internal force being transmitted into his body.

"Don't talk, just absorb your internal strength." The old man's tone was very serious.

Shu Yunci didn't dare to struggle, this was no joke, maybe both of them were in danger of their lives.

After half an hour, the big old man let go of his hand.Shu Yunci looked at him with a complicated expression, "I will pay you back."

"What do you want me to do? I'm already at this age, and I've been hiding in this secret room at the bottom of the lake. What use is my internal strength?" The old man looked a little tired.

"Don't you want to take revenge?" Shu Yunci asked.

The old man looked at her carefully, as if he had never seen her before.

"You don't need to read it. How did I learn Kung Fu from a group of people of unknown origin for so many years? I already knew your background." Shu Yunci sighed, "Old man, you must live well and watch the disciples teach you revenge."

The old man suddenly laughed, laughing loudly.This laughter attracted several other old men, who all came over to look around.

"Boss, what did you say to Xiao Ci'er? So happy?" the bearded old man couldn't help asking.

"Little Ci'er actually knew our identities, it's ridiculous that we thought we were hiding it well." The old man laughed.

Several old men looked at Shu Yunci in horror, the fat old man shook his head, "Impossible, you can't know. How old are you."

A hundred years ago, Fangying Prefecture in the north of Yin Kingdom was the fiefdom of King Ying.That is the prince who is most capable of conquering and fighting in the Yin Kingdom. King Ying has been in Fangying Prefecture for several generations, and the border is bitter and cold, and there are many brave and ruthless people.The soldiers led by King Ying are the most powerful army in the Yin Kingdom, and they have made many meritorious deeds for the Yin Kingdom.Ying Wang has a very high prestige in Fang Yingzhou and even the entire Yin Kingdom.It has always been a taboo for ministers to be superior to masters. Emperor Yuanming's grandfather, Emperor Qinyi, was afraid that King Ying would separatize Yingzhou and stand on his own, so he finally attacked Yingwang's family.

This time, he had been planning for several years to seize the title, and he won King Ying and more than a hundred of his subordinates in one fell swoop.Most of these people were sentenced to death, and a few were imprisoned to death. At this point, Fang Yingzhou was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the emperor's confidant was wiped out in one fell swoop.

When the house was raided at the beginning, Shu Zhengwei, the youngest son of King Ying, was studying art abroad. Later, the imperial court issued documents to arrest him, but no one was found.Until the death of Emperor Qinyi, Shu Zhengwei still disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the world.

"The only thing I didn't find back then was Shu Zhengwei, and King Ying's saber Xi Lei Sword." Her eyes fell on the long sword next to the old man again.

The old man's eyes turned cold, and the long sword on the stone bed suddenly came out of its sheath, and went straight to Shu Yunci.Shu Yunci reached out to catch it, and she had to turn around in a circle before slowing down with such strong force.After she stood still, she raised the long sword and looked closely, but saw that the sword in her hand was longer and wider than ordinary swords, and the blade was dull without luster.Near the hilt are engraved with two large ancient characters - Xi Lei.

"You have been in this secret room at the bottom of the lake for decades, and you have the opportunity to take revenge at any time, why don't you do it?" Shu Yunci asked.

"I entered the palace with a sword to take revenge back then. It was Emperor Qinyi's words that made me dispel the idea of ​​revenge. Since I didn't take revenge back then, how could I hurt the descendants of Emperor Qinyi? Besides, my surname is also Shu. I can see things like this. Don't worry, I won't harm your father." When the old man said these words, his eyebrows were bright and his tone was gentle, and he seemed to have become a Buddha immediately.

"What did Emperor Qinyi say?" Shu Yunci was extremely curious about this.

"He said that I could kill him, and he had no regrets. He just told me to take care of myself, saying that in a few decades, Qiyao would gather, and that would be the secret of the Yin Kingdom. He told me to obey the secret and accept a satisfactory apprentice .” The old man thought it was funny when Emperor Qinyi was nagging like a magic stick at that time.He was burdened with blood feud, but was fooled by Emperor Qinyi.At that time, he had the Xi Lei sword in his hand and was able to slash the enemy with his hands, but he stopped for no reason.

He rejoiced afterwards, fortunately, he didn't do anything at that time.Because Emperor Qinyi gave him an address before his death. In a remote village, those who were sentenced to death and imprisoned were all alive and well.
