old grace

Compared with Fu Chuan, who has changed greatly, Xie Qinghe, who is meditating in the house, has hardly changed, and is still the same as before.

Standing in front of the couch, Han Lin could faintly feel a strange split.

I haven't seen him for a year, but Xie Qinghe's feeling of "fate is not in harmony with God" is getting stronger and stronger. Others may not be able to see that he has achieved a little success in physiognomy, but just standing in front of Xie Qinghe is very uncomfortable. Something is wrong.

Xie Qinghe didn't invite him to sit down, or invite him to drink tea.

Apart from a couch and an incense mat, there is nothing else in the quiet room, and it was not originally a place to receive guests.

"Whose idea was it to send you south to suppress the thieves?" Xie Qinghe asked unceremoniously.

Han Lin opened her mouth.

He really only had one feeling, did Walang take a little too much control?

Xie Qinghe saved his life.But he never hired Xie Qinghe as the mastermind, and he was not Xie Qinghe's subordinate.This matter involved the conflict of interests between Liang Anhou's Mansion and the Eunuch Party. Xie Qinghe opened his mouth and asked, how would he answer? —This question is too rude and rude.

However, Xie Qinghe asked the question with confidence, as if he was born to answer all the questions Xie Qinghe asked honestly.

After hesitating for a while, Han Lin was still relieved and said, "It was Supervisor Qi's idea."

"Nowadays the thieves in the south are not in full swing, and the whole court doesn't pay much attention to it. Most people think that as long as the local prefect summons the garrison troops, the chaos can be easily quelled. If they send troops to the south, the leading generals will be in vain. The errands are quite up for grabs.”

"I have never led the army alone before, and I have always been under my father's account. This matter should not have fallen into my hands."

"Qi Dajian has some private affairs in the south, and others can't handle them, so he discussed the matter with my father and recommended me to the emperor to go south."

Xie Qinghe paused when he heard this, and said, "So, do you know the situation of Suhe and Vientiane?"

"My family sent me a piece of information about the bandit leader. I already know how Zhang Li and Yan Wen started their business and became successful. I also know the history and temperament of the bandit leaders, and the quality of the bandit soldiers..." Han Lin It's all about knowing yourself and the enemy in battle.

Xie Qinghe shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about."

Han Lin looked sideways slightly: "Then what do you mean...?"

"Most of the good land in Suhe is recorded under the name of the Tian family, and the good land in Vientiane is divided into seven or eight by the Xiao family and the Lang family. Before the establishment of this dynasty, the three great families had been operating in the south for many years, with deep roots. The late emperor favored the south. The king entrusted Suhe to Suhe, favored Princess Bao to Vientiane, and awarded the two gold seals and jade pits to Nan Wang and Bao Princess for self-collection. This is the root of the turmoil in the south." Xie Qinghe said.

The origin of the matter was that the aristocratic family and the royal family were vying for the actual control of the gold and silver mines.

The three families of Tian, ​​Xiao, and Lang have been operating in the south for a long time. Before the founding of Hou Zhao, the three families had already cultivated and operated in Suhe and Vientiane.

After Zhao Liguo, all kinds of gold and silver mines were government-run and privately mined. The gold and silver fields and jade pits in Suhe and Vientiane were nominally owned by the imperial court. Pay taxes to the court according to the output.

The reason why the royal family is so generous is naturally because all three of these families have made contributions to the dragon.The Tian family had a queen and three concubines, and the Xiao family had a princess who descended. Although the Lang family was not related to the royal family, they often went to the East Palace to give lectures to the crown prince.

What's more, is the emperor who can found the country easy to bully?

Two generations ago, the family of the third generation worked honestly in mining and collecting taxes honestly, not daring to play tricks at all.

It's just that as generations passed, the powerful old emperors passed away, and the successor emperors were not as good as the previous ones, and the increasingly powerful and arrogant families were not so honest. When it was their turn to pay taxes to the court, the mines in the south also Just "exhausted".

Successive emperors were not stupid either.Is it underreporting production?Are you trying to lie to me?I still can't cure you?

The normal way is to make people go to tax supervision.

The most amazing thing about the first emperor is that he directly took back the mines mined by the government and the private sector, and then granted them to his children.

Nanwang and Princess Bao were both born to the beloved concubine Li, who was favored by the late emperor, fierce and cunning, and extremely powerful in combat.

——The gold mine, silver mine, and jade pit that my imperial father granted me, why don't you give it to me, a pariah?ah?Aristocratic family is not a pariah anymore?

In the end, the arms couldn't twist the thighs, and the mining rights of the three great families were still returned to the Wangfu and Princess Mansions.

However, those three are not easy to mess with.After a complete quarrel, Nanwang and Princess Bao couldn't find craftsmen skilled in mining in Suhe and Vientiane counties at all, so they had to let their servants to forcibly mine. Not to mention the extremely low output, accidents often occurred.

As a last resort, King Nan and Princess Bao wrote to the first emperor for help.

However, all parts of the country are government-owned and privately adopted models, and the royal family has not kept craftsmen in this area.

In order to support King Nan and Princess Bao, the first emperor ordered forced conscripts, emphasizing elsewhere that craftsmen dig mines for King Nan and Princess Bao.

There is no wages for conscription, and you have to bring your own rations.The artisans were forced to part with their families, trekking across mountains and rivers to work upside down, and their wives, children, and mothers had no one to support them in order to survive. Many artisans were so embarrassed that they sold their sons and daughters.

Nanwang is a fat man who doesn't like to go out, but Princess Bao is different. This princess was born in a deep palace and was suffocated. She likes to travel in mountains and rivers.

One day, when Princess Bao was staying in Xianghe, she was accidentally bumped by a craftsman with deep grievances, and she fell into the water and died.

This incident was simply appalling and shocked the world immediately.

The first emperor was dying of a serious illness. After receiving the news, he ordered to kill all the mine craftsmen in Wanxiang County at that time. The servants and guards of the Princess Mansion were also sentenced to death for the crime of failing to protect the Lord. There were as many as [-] people implicated. Yu people.

There were rumors that Princess Bao was domineering and domineering, and had constant conflicts with the Lang family. It was the Lang family who deliberately incited the craftsmen to cause chaos and drowned her.

It's just that with the death of the first emperor, Nanwang and Princess Bao, who were extremely beloved for a while, disappeared and were gradually forgotten.

——Whether the Lang family was behind the death of Princess Bao, who cares?

Han Lin knew about this past because he was in Liang Anhou's mansion and received the best upbringing. At any time, there were counselors in the mansion to answer his questions and tell him the ins and outs of certain things.What he didn't understand was why Xie Qinghe also knew about these past events?

"After the death of Princess Bao, no one took care of the ownership of the mine in Vientiane, and it returned to the hands of Xiao and Lang."

"Qi Ying's godson, Lin Baishi, found an errand in Vientiane to supervise the gold and silver mines, and rushed to take up the post, and was taken care of by Xiao's family in Vientiane. Qi Ying couldn't accept this filial piety, and asked Lin Baishi to go with Xiao That's why Qing Kuo Yintian's incident happened." Xie Qinghe said.

Yin Tian is the only weakness of the great family, and it is also the unspoken rule that has been established for thousands of years.

Later Zhao taxed farmers on the basis of per-acre, that is, they had to pay poll tax and tax according to the size of the field. For self-cultivating farmers, there was per-acre tax and corvee service from time to time, which was a very heavy burden.Because the imperial court gave preferential treatment to the gentry, families with titles and official status basically did not collect land taxes and were exempted from corvee labor. Many self-cultivating farmers who could not survive simply chose to donate their land to the big aristocratic families.

In addition to the self-cultivating farmers, it is also the daily life of the major families to raise refugees to reclaim good land, which leads to more and more land in the family.

However, there is a limit to the imperial court's exemption from classes for aristocratic families. A family has too much registered land, which will naturally attract the imperial court's attention.In order to avoid this situation, the big family will choose to hide most of the land and never report it.

The Yintian matter benefited the family, and the common people also seemed to benefit, only the court was dumbfounded.

——The imperial court can no longer collect taxes.

However, most of the court officials are also nobles, and they are also the beneficiaries of Yintian.

So, even if the court can't collect taxes, wouldn't it be enough for the family to get benefits?The reason for this is very simple, but it cannot be eradicated for thousands of years.

"Chief Qi also grew up in the deep palace all his life, so how can he beat the Lang family who has become a ghost." Han Lin couldn't help but mention it.

The fight between Princess Bao and the Lang family for the mine happened more than ten years ago. Han Lin was still young at that time and didn't know much about it.

The Yintian incident revealed by Lin Baishi happened in recent years, and the Heyang Society and the Eunuch Party had a great fight, and Han Lin could be regarded as being around the mansion's mastermind, and knew it in detail.

"Lin Baishi just revealed the matter of Yintian. He wanted to invite the imperial envoy to go to Vientiane to check the field records of the Lang family. The Xiao family and the Lang family released the farmers who had been sheltering for many years. The county magistrates of those counties stayed overnight. Come to the door to beg, this matter has to be figured out slowly, and can't be released in one go. The tax bureau of the county government is the running dog of the Xiao family, and immediately sent tax collectors to the countryside to force the tax to ask questions. The age limit is deducted!"

A self-cultivating farmer offered his land to join the Lang family ten years ago. The court didn't care how much rent he had paid to the Lang family in the past ten years.

The imperial court only cared that he had evaded the Dingmu tax for ten years.

Now that he was released by the Lang family, the court forced him to immediately make up all the unpaid per-acre taxes in the past ten years!

Most of the ordinary people barely survived, and they are rich households who can have three to five months of surplus food. How can they save the ten-year per-acre tax?

The farmers who were released in this wave were all cornered.According to the laws of the Later Zhao Dynasty, those who owed less taxes were punished with hard labor, and those who owed more taxes were directly imprisoned and sent to a smoky place.Even if there was a little shoving and making noise, he was immediately charged with violent tax resistance and sentenced to death.

The common people didn't know that the big landlords and the tax collector of the imperial court were in the same group, and they didn't know that the tax collector was deliberately trying to force them against them.

They only know that the imperial court does not allow them to join the big landlords, just to collect taxes from them desperately, to squeeze the people's fat and anointing, and the big landlords who once protected them were also forced by the imperial court. Exploitation by the imperial court.

The tax is really unaffordable, and there is no hope of living.

There is no other way, rebel.

As a result, thieves began to riot in the originally peaceful south.

This is not a natural disaster, it is a proper man-made disaster, and it is a rebellion planned by the big family.

When Xie Qinghe and Han Lin discussed this matter, they were very calm, without any emotion in their tone.On the contrary, Fu Chuan, who had been listening by the side, sighed.Whether it is the royal family, eunuchs, or aristocratic families, they only have power and interests in their eyes, and no one takes seriously the common people who are earnestly cultivating the land, weaving cloth, and living a hard and steadfast life.

The family used the common people as bargaining chips to strike back at the royal family and the eunuchs.The imperial court suffered a dumb loss, and took revenge on the aristocratic family crazily.

... What about those people who died in the forced taxation?

What about those people who had to kill and resist with kitchen knives and hoes?

Falling on the history books, it is a word that is light and fluffy, thief.

Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan had a better understanding of this koan because after the death of Later Zhao, there were records in later history books.

Han Lin is the heir to the top wealthy family of this era. She has many channels to understand various forces, the information is clear, and she has a good mastermind teacher to analyze and explain for him.

The three of them picked and analyzed the situation above the imperial court in the quiet room of the small courtyard in the slum area of ​​the capital, and fell silent.

Regardless of the debates and quarrels in the court, how impassioned they are for the country and the people.This is the struggle between the royal family and the aristocratic family, using ordinary people as bargaining chips and offering innocent sacrifices to heaven.

After a brief silence, Xie Qinghe looked at Han Lin and asked: "You have been drifting with the tide all your life, loyal to your blood identity, and being a running dog of the eunuch party? A weapon of party struggle? Do you know whether you are loyal to the eunuch party or Heyang? The party is useless to the country and useless to the people?"

It's not that Han Lin has never thought about this question, but there is no answer to this question at all.

He is the eldest son of the Marquis of Liang An's mansion, and his birth determines his position.

"Walang, you may think highly of me." Han Lin laughed at herself and bowed to salute, "Thank you for saving my life that day."

Seeing Han Lin turning around to leave, Fu Chuan asked for instructions: "Elder brother?"

Xie Qinghe nodded: "Give it to him."

Fu Chuan lifted the curtain and chased after him, saying, "Wait a minute, I have something for you."

Han Lin thought that there was another elixir gift, and immediately smiled.

Going south to suppress thieves, maybe there will be accidents.If Valang's elixir was with him, it would be like saving a few lives.

Unexpectedly, Fu Chuan didn't go to open the cupboard, but sat down in front of the desk, brushing and writing vigorously.

Han Lin didn't know, so she walked over and took a look: "What is this, a prescription...?"

As soon as he glanced at it, he knew that it was not a prescription, but an extremely precious internal breathing method.

Han Lin once fell out of the cold river sword sect's outer sect sword order, and has an extremely brilliant inheritance of physiognomy, so of course it is not without origin.Fu Chuan had already entered Taoism, and he could tell at a glance that Fu Chuan was extraordinary. Now that Fu Chuan was writing him internal exercises, his lips trembled unconsciously with excitement.

"This is...but..." Han Lin muttered softly, "My teacher once said that I am not talented enough..."

Fu Chuan scribbled and comforted him: "If you are not talented enough, there are ways to practice without talent." Then he couldn't help but say, "My senior brother asked you about your future plans. Have you really never thought about it, or do you still don't want to talk to him about it?" ?”

It was obvious that Fu Chuan looked at the immortal spirit, but Han Lin felt no pressure by his side, and said casually, "I don't know that both sides are not good people? But without the Heyang Party members, and the Shanyang Party members, without Supervisor Qi , and Liu Dajian. Let’s talk about our family, although my father helped Qi Dajian assassinate Heyang party members, there are still many hidden farmers in our hometown in Qiangzhou.”

"Where are there so many hidden fields and hidden households? Stealing the power of the emperor, imposing heavy taxes, forcing the people to live in poverty, so they will naturally come to defect."

"If Superintendent Qi wants to check Yintian in Qiangzhou, can my father mess with him? Let alone killing a son, dozens of sons are dead, and it will not stop my father from joining forces with the Heyang Party members."

"Everything in the world has this virtue. It was like this a hundred years ago, it was like this a thousand years ago, it was like this after a hundred years, and it will be like this after a thousand years."

"What am I, Han Lin? If I don't follow the trend, can I go against the trend?"

After all, it is a truth.

If the emperor wants to rely on the gentry to rule the people of the world, the gentry will steal the country and disturb the people for their own benefit, in an endless cycle.

Han Lin felt that she couldn't break this cycle, and she didn't have the strength to fight against everyone. Anyway, he was a superior person, and the common people who were bullied and sacrificed were very pitiful, that's all. Slash and kill the traitor who was once a poor commoner.

Hearing his complaints, Fu Chuan handed him the written "The Big Break" and said: "There is nothing difficult or difficult in this method of practice. It only needs to be sincere and righteous, and practice a lot. If you get something It is also beneficial for you to have Taoists assisting you."

Han Lin calmed down in an instant, and asked cautiously, "Do you know that I know a 'scholar who has attained the Tao'?"

Fu Chuan pointed to the door and said, "If you have no background, can you just bring a master here to be broomsticked?"

Han Lin was a little surprised: "The person at the door...is my uncle's friend, I..." He was not very familiar with him at all.Moreover, he really didn't put that person in his eyes, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to order him casually and tell him to stay outside.

Fu Chuan also had no intention of dealing with that Taoist.

He first called Da Lang and said, "This is Da Lang. He has studied medicine with Walang for a year. He doesn't like to talk or make trouble. May he seek a career with you?"

Among the four members of the Zhou family, Da Lang is the most talented, his cultivation speed is second only to Mrs. Chen, and he has the tendency to catch up from behind.

He is also close to Xie Qinghe, and he is willing to go in with Xie Qinghe's cold face to please his servants. Xie Qinghe will occasionally teach him some other things.Just considering Erlang's self-esteem, Dalang seldom shows off his cultivation, making a fortune in a standard way.

At this moment, Da Lang stood beside Han Lin. He had long hands and long legs, and he looked clean. He didn't flinch at all, and Han Lin was quite satisfied.

These days poor people don't eat well, if they are private soldiers and servants who have been raised at home for many years, it is not easy to find a tall and upright follower outside.A physique like Dalang's is superior to others, and it's not ashamed to take it out.

"Walang's disciple, I will naturally take good care of him. Follow me from now on." Han Lin really thought it was a betrayal.

Fu Chuan sent Han Lin to the door, and told Da Lang, "Take care of Wei Lang."

He doesn't address Shizi or Han Lang, it's to protect Han Lin's identity.

Han Lin felt that he was calling her original pseudonym because of nostalgia, so she couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, Cao Lang."

Fu Chuan raised his hands in a bow.

After saying goodbye to Han Lin, Fu Chuan saw the Taoist following Han Lin, nodded slightly, and turned back.

The strange thing is that the Taoist clearly saw how extraordinary Fu Chuan was, and he didn't intend to take the initiative to talk to Fu Chuan.

The Taoist barged in with Han Lin bluffing, and then took Han Lin away pretending to be crazy.The people nearby only knew that there was a fake Taoist priest who bluffed and deceived the little Bodhisattva, but he was dismissed by the little Bodhisattva submissively, and left in a subdued manner.

More than a dozen Heyang party members who were hiding in the Westinghouse all got out.

Lang Zexin was the first to bear the brunt: "Little master, is that Han Lin from Liang Anhou's residence?!"

Fu Chuan nodded.

Not long after Xiao Mingren was rescued, the knife wound on his stomach was still aching, and he was the most resentful: "Are you also a running dog of the eunuch party? You and Liang Anhou are in the same group? Why don't you... um, huh..."

Lang Hui and the others had already covered his mouth, dragged him into the room, and taught him the principles of life.

"I originally arranged a new residence for you, and I planned to move out in the next two days. However, you have also heard that no one has checked the whereabouts of your corpses before because the son helped to cover it up. Once the son goes south, this matter will be closed. I can't hide it anymore." Fu said.

Lang Zexin lived in the small courtyard for the longest time, and she vaguely knew of Fu Chuan's plan: "Little master is leaving?"

"I have taught you everything that should be taught. It was a fight between you and the eunuchs, and I have done my best." Fu said.

"Master Meng's life-saving grace, I will never forget it. However," Lang Zexin is a sensible person, but he is shameless and takes advantage of the situation to ask for benefits from Fu Chuan. , there are no swords or medicines. Since the little master is leaving, why don't you save some?"

Before Fu Chuan could speak, Erlang sarcastically said, "Master Lang, are you going to ask the untouchables for money now?"

Lang Zexin was completely shameless, and said with a playful smile: "Just because I have brought so much water and chopped so much firewood for this family, little master can't treat me badly!"

There was laughter and laughter outside, and there seemed to be no parting feelings.

However, everyone knows that once they part ways, it will almost be a farewell.

Fu Chuan will no longer intervene in the dispute between the eunuch party and the Heyang party.Lang Zexin and Lang Hui, the group of party officials who were rescued, were the force that Fu Chuan left for the Heyang party members to fight back.If there is any assassination or massacre, Lang Zexin and the others have to save it by themselves.It is life if it can be saved, but it is also life if it cannot be saved.

Fu Chuan walked into the quiet room: "Elder brother."

The days of living in seclusion are temporarily over, and from now on, you have to run around on the road.

Xie Qinghe didn't say that he was in a critical moment recently, and that he failed in cultivation and hurt his skin.Fu Chuan came in to talk to him, and he stopped resting, let Fu Chuan sit beside him, and said with a smile, "Are you targeting Han Lin and won't let go?"

Fu Chuan's move can be described as drastic.

Han Lin came to the small courtyard to warn Fu Chuan, originally with good intentions.

The Heyang party members are very powerful in the local area, and the only passive point is that they cannot have private soldiers in name.

There are hidden fields and hidden households who want to privately amass soldiers and horses. Once the court catches this point, the crime of treason will basically be unavoidable.Therefore, when the emperor resorted to the trick of the Marquis of Liang An's Mansion, the Heyang party members were very passive, and the children who worked and lived in Beijing basically became targets.

In Han Lin's mind, Lang Zexin and the others are all weak sons, waiting to be slaughtered.After being rescued by Fu Chuan, he can only hide in a dark place, or flee back to his hometown to keep himself safe.Therefore, Han Lin never thought that her affairs would be exposed.

He was exposed, so Lang Zexin and others must not follow suit?

These people are all court officials. If they came back from the dead and ran out to testify against Liang Anhou's mansion and make trouble in the court, Liang Anhou's mansion would have to drink a pot no matter how favored the emperor was.Therefore, Liang Anhou's mansion would take the risk to kill this group of people again even in order to silence them.

He never thought that Fu Chuan would train Lang Zexin and others to practice.

Even more unexpectedly, he was just about to leave when Fu Chuan turned around and released Lang Zexin and others.

It would be fine if Liang Anhou's mansion did not take any action. Once Liang Anhou's mansion started the next assassination campaign against the Heyang Party members, Fu Chuan would not take any action. Naturally, Lang Zexin and others, who had worked hard for several months, came to the rescue.

The secret that Han Lin painstakingly hid for ten months will soon be brought to the fore, and Han Lin who helped conceal the aftermath will also be exposed.

Even though Han Lin still wanted to be a filial son and grandson of the Marquis of Liang An's mansion, how could Liang Anhou tolerate him so much?

It is impossible for the Heyang party members to accept his favor, let alone accept and recruit him.

Therefore, Han Lin will immediately fall into a situation where she is not human inside and out, and Liang Anhou is likely to clean up the door directly.

"He considers himself a sword soldier, and I want to enter the game to play chess. If others can hold his sword, I can't take it? Anyway, it's an old friendship."

"If I let Da Lang follow him, even if Marquis Liang An wants to kill his son to apologize, he won't be stabbed in the chest again."

It wasn't that Fu Chuan was unaware of Xie Qinghe's state. He approached Xie Qinghe and held Xie Qinghe in his arms: "Eldest brother, did you forcefully build the foundation and hurt the root? I think you have a bad complexion these days. "

"Where is the talent of this skin capable of building a foundation?" Xie Qinghe was ambiguous, he wanted to find another way to enter the Tao with weapons, but unfortunately, the failed ways are all evil ways, and once they fail, they will hurt the body.There is no need to tell the junior brother about these things.

Xie Qinghe changed the topic: "You do your own thing, I just focus on cultivation, this was agreed in the morning."

Fu Chuan has a lot of superstition and blind obedience to Xie Qinghe, Xie Qinghe has always been in charge of his practice homework, and it is not his turn to take care of Xie Qinghe.

Since Xie Qinghe didn't allow him to ask more questions, he didn't feel that he was better than the elder brother, so he immediately felt relieved.

It's rare that at this moment, the height and weight crushed the big brother, Fu Chuan hugged Xie Qinghe tenderly in his arms, Xie Qinghe was obviously a little awkward, but he couldn't refuse.After a while, Fu Chuan went too far, Xie Qinghe had to point to the word "quiet" hanging on the wall, Fu Chuan snickered, straightened his messy clothes, and left.

Leaving Xie Qinghe looking at his short arms and legs, thinking, at what age do boys start to draw?

No wonder the junior brother wanted to grow up every day.

...I didn't bully him like that back then, did I?

■

Ever since she rescued Langzexin, Sanniang was ready to run away at any time.

Dalang followed Han Lin first, and Fu Chuan immediately arranged for the evacuation. Just after dark that night, Sanniang carried a basket and held an umbrella, and accompanied Fu Chuan to leave the small courtyard and detour to Zhizi Street.Erlang had already harnessed two carriages and was waiting here.

After a while, Mrs. Chen quietly jumped down from the eaves with Xie Qinghe on her back and met smoothly.

Except for the group of Heyang Party members who had already known about it staying in the Westing Room, their departure did not alarm anyone.

"Little master, where are we going? I'm afraid we won't be able to leave the city at night." Erlang asked.

Fu Chuan turned his head to look at Xie Qinghe.Xie Qinghe said helplessly: "Find an unobtrusive and inconspicuous place, and stop the car. I will change your appearance for you, so that you can go out on the road tomorrow."

In the past six months, Erlang often went out to inquire about news, and his scope of activities was no longer limited to poor neighborhoods, and he was familiar with most of the capital.

He drove with Sanniang and parked both cars by the Yangliu River near Maimai Street.Due to the dumping of sewage and garbage in this place, the water quality is filthy and smelly, and generally no one comes here.It is also near the market where people come and go, so it will not be eye-catching.

Except it doesn't taste very good.

Sanniang patted his arm with her hand: "You boy, where are you looking for! Master is fuming."

Fu Chuan spoke for Erlang: "This place is very good. It's rare that it doesn't attract people's attention." He took out a few pills given by Xie Qinghe, "press it under the tongue, and gradually the smell will disappear."

The water in the Yangliu River could not be used, Erlang ran a long way to fetch water, and Xie Qinghe was able to mix the easy-to-use potion.

Xie Qinghe's style of disguise is fine-tuning and long-term effects. In fact, if a person's facial features change a little, the whole person will become completely different. Naturally, the less changes are made for long-term makeup, the better.This time, the disguise was only to avoid the eyes and ears of the city gate officials, and the purpose was to prevent Liang Anhou's mansion from following the vines and following the clues to inquire about the city gate's eyes and ears after Lang Zexin and others were exposed in the later stage, so as to make trouble for them.

This is purely a precautionary measure.

If the Marquis of Liang An didn't rush to start the next assassination plan, Lang Zexin and the others would be exposed very slowly, and nothing would happen if they were not easy to tolerate.

Just in case.

This time, Xie Qinghe's disguise was contrary to his usual style, and he drastically changed the appearance of several people.

Mrs. Chen was disguised as old man Chen, took medicine for a hoarse voice, and went out of the city alone with Erlang in a car.

Sanniang was disguised as an ordinary old woman, serving her young master who was in full bloom, that is, Fu Chuan, who was dressed in men's clothes and had a dignified appearance, and the cousin who had not formally married the young master and was engaged, that is, the cousin who should be replaced. Xie Qinghe, who was wearing women's clothing, shared a car.

Seeing Xie Qinghe painting herself female makeup in front of the bronze mirror, Fu Chuan lay prone in the carriage, and couldn't help laughing.

Xie Qinghe really wanted to be the young master and asked Fu Chuan to be his cousin.

However, these days, it is assumed that neither big girls nor young boys are considered "adults", and it is absolutely not safe to go out alone without someone in charge.

Encountering such a strange match, the city gate officials will definitely be impressed.Therefore, in order to distract everyone, Xie Qinghe had no choice but to choose the most popular impression, let the tall Fu Chuan dress up as the male husband, and let the short him dress up as the little cousin who has never been married.

Su Shijing's appearance is not very outstanding, and it is even more impossible for Xie Qinghe to paint himself beautifully on purpose to cause trouble for nothing.

After he finished his makeup and sprayed it with setting lotion, Fu Chuan opened the makeup box and presented his pearl flower: "This looks beautiful."

"Good-looking is good-looking, and it's too valuable." Xie Qinghe walked around the bead flower, took out a set of silver flower pieces from the box he prepared, and tied them lightly on the tunic.

Fu Chuan suddenly threw himself on him, and kissed his bright red mouth: "What, what!"

Xie Qinghe hugged him helplessly: "Stop making trouble."

Fu Chuan took out the pearl flower again and put it in his hair.The pearl light is warm and moist, with its own precious aura, in the dark carriage, one does not know whether it is the pearl light that makes Xie Qinghe's cheeks delicate and lovely, or Xie Qinghe's face that makes the pearl flower shine brightly.

Fu Chuan stared blankly at Xie Qinghe who was pressed under him, and said after a long while: "Eldest brother."

Xie Qinghe particularly disliked this feeling.

The state of the skin will affect a person's mind and emotions. Su Shijing's physical aptitude is extremely poor, causing Xie Qinghe to be weak all year round.He usually kept calm and clear in the Lingtai, tried his best to cultivate his mind, and was able to restrain this weakness with his powerful spirit. However, he just failed once in his cultivation.

The skin is damaged, and the emotions are weak.

Fu Chuan just pressed on him like this, he didn't even have the strength to resist, and was forced to wear a bead flower by Fu Chuan.

Reason told him that this was not a big deal at all, the younger brother was just joking.

However, the meridian is aching.

The Qi and blood all over his body are going upwards, squeezed on an unknown point.

He coughed involuntarily.

There was a fishy-sweet liquid rushing out of the throat, and it slid out along the nearest.

Xie Qinghe knew something was wrong, and wanted to wipe it with his hand, but his sleeve was pressed tightly by Fu Chuan's knee, so he couldn't raise his hand for a while.

This is terrible.

Xie Qinghe thought so, and sure enough, he saw Fu Chuan's frightened eyes.

...and worse, want to cough.

Fu Chuan watched helplessly as Xie Qinghe spewed blood onto his sleeve, and wanted to reach out to stop Xie Qinghe's energy channels, but he didn't dare to do it: "Elder brother, you... What method are you practicing now, I don't know, I don't know ah……"

Xie Qinghe is creating a new cultivation method in his life, and the direction of the body's energy channels is likely to be different from most monks.

Now he is weak again, and Fu Chuan's cultivation base is stronger.If Fu Chuan made a rash move, it might not be saving lives, but urging them.

Xie Qinghe made a look.

Fu Chuan had a tacit understanding with him, and quickly helped him sit up.

Xie Qinghe bent down and coughed twice, spat out the remaining blood in both mouthfuls, then said slowly, "It's nothing, don't be afraid."

Fu Chuan hugged him tightly, choked with sobs and said, "How can I help you?"

"I can't help." Xie Qinghe wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. He could feel his own weakness. Days will be fine, this is... a normal thing."

How can it be so easy to go against the sky with an uncultivated body?That is to say, he has the experience of becoming a demon, so he can continue to try and make mistakes.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have only one life, and if they made a mistake, they would die. Everyone would have to start from scratch if they wished to go against the heavens.

After Xie Qinghe rested for a while and recovered a little bit, Fu Chuan helped him change the blood-stained dress, but he couldn't help but blame himself: "If senior brother doesn't like to pretend to be a woman, why do you have to force yourself? You can do it too." My 'brother'."

That is naturally because according to the information of Liang Anhou's mansion, Cao Lang and Walang are two brothers with unknown relationship.

Xie Qinghe changed the girl's clothes and said: "You tell them to sleep. Get up early tomorrow and leave the city through the west gate."

Fu Chuan helped him to sleep on the pillow, covered him with the quilt, and then went out to give instructions.

The two cars were parked not far away, and the three over there were all practitioners. At first Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were intimate and tender, they were not easy to eavesdrop, but later Fu Chuan exclaimed, so it was impossible not to be alarmed.Sanniang asked concerned: "Can you prepare some hot water?"

Fu Chuan shook his head: "Go to sleep early, Ximen will leave the city tomorrow morning."

After only coming out for a while, when Fu Chuan returned to the car, Xie Qinghe tilted his head on the pillow, naturally he was still not asleep.

Fu Chuan tucked up the car curtain, pressed the car door, was about to take off his clothes to sleep, and suddenly asked: "Brother, do you feel bored when you press the car door roof?"

Xie Qinghe shook his finger.

Fu Chuancai took off his clothes, got into Xie Qinghe's bed, and touched him gently.

Xie Qinghe didn't know what he was thinking, he must have scared his junior brother today, even though he was tired and tired, he still cheered up and comforted him: "It's good to spit out this mouthful of blood. Although it will be weak A few days, but this is the legacy of practice, if you don’t spit it out, you will plant the seeds of disaster for the next practice.”

The truth is this, but no matter how talented Xie Qinghe is, it is impossible to find another way of cultivation in a short time.

This time usually takes ten or fifteen years. If you are unlucky, you will not find another way until you die.After such a long time, the legacy of the failure of the previous practice has long since disappeared, and there is no need to forcibly remove it.

Fu Chuan didn't know that he was lying, and he didn't know that he hated what he did at that time, so he hugged him with some fear.

"Eldest brother, I didn't know...it's so dangerous." Fu Chuan touched his shoulder.

Xie Qinghe coaxed: "You know this body is illusory, if something happens, you and I will go out together."

Fu Chuan shook his head: "Eldest brother lied to me. At the beginning, I couldn't vent my essence in Weiyang Palace. Eldest brother warned me that once something bad happens inside, it will be the same outside. Now that elder brother is being killed, how could it have nothing to do with it?" ?”

"Then I have committed suicide many times and left, and I have never seen me die or be injured, right?" Xie Qinghe touched his head, "Okay, don't think about it, it's nothing. I have been fine for so many years, I have long been used to it Already, go to sleep."

Fu Chuan was taken aback.I always feel like there are things I don't know.

"Eldest brother..." He put his arms around Xie Qinghe's waist, which was a hint that he answered everything he asked for when he was acting like a baby.

Just call big brother, don't even want to say why, just know how to act like a baby, just know how to call.Xie Qinghe was rubbed until half of his waist was numb, so he had no choice but to agree: "True or false?"
