Chapter Seventy-Fifth - The Willful Young Master Raises Gu and Cuts His Arms
"Deng Deng," the old servant carrying the food basket said without hearing the voice in the room, "Young Master, the lunch has been prepared."
There was no answer from inside the door, and after a long time, as if the time had been misplaced, a hoarse voice came from the room, listening carefully with the childishness of a young man: "Put it at the door first."
The bright sun in the sky was already moving westward, but it was a bit hotter than it was at noon.
The old servant put down the food basket as he said, and was about to leave, but saw the wooden door open with a "squeak".
The young man who came out covered his forehead with purple-gold eyebrows, and the embroidered pattern of phoenix tail flashed with the light.The two slanted eyebrows below it revealed the usual displeasure.It was still the usual purple-colored and gold-patterned robe, but it seemed that it hadn't been changed for many days, and the corners of the clothes were wrinkled, no longer its usual glory.
"Young master." Seeing him coming out, the old servant turned around and picked up the food basket on the ground, and handed it to Fu Zhan.
Fu Zan didn't answer, and said: "Take it back first, I'm going out now."
"Yes." The old servant obeyed and withdrew.
Fu Zhan squinted his eyes to avoid the too strong light in the sky. After a long silence, he took a few steps back and locked the door of the palace.
He stepped out of the outer court.
Fu Zan was not used to crowded places since he was a child, and he didn't want to live next to the main hall of Fu Xuan's palace. Fu Xuan also followed him and chose a palace for him near the mountains and rivers.Others in the clan only said that Fu Xuan loves his son dearly, and since the death of Fu Zhan's biological mother, he has not continued to remarry, let alone Fu Zan, the only son who has been the only son for many years.
On the contrary, Fu Zhan was arrogant, stubborn and willful, which was not popular in the eyes of his tribe.If it wasn't for the fact that Su Hui was a genius in the clan since he was a child, I'm afraid the clansmen didn't have much affection for the young master of the royal family.
"Hmph." Fu Zhan snorted coldly, what Fu Xuan was planning, others didn't know, but he knew it very well.
Within a hundred steps, a white round altar was sunken in the green field valley, surrounded by layers of vertical barriers like a maze. It was the Huanshu altar where the Nanman clan sacrificed to the Phoenix Spirit, and its center protruded. A round stone table-sized lift is the sacrificial altar.
Fu Zan stepped into the altar in a few steps, and when he climbed up to the sacrificial altar, he slowly took out an object from the lapel, like a small copper box containing a woman's earrings.
The young man stared at this thing and pursed his lips, his eyes glanced at the empty space in the center of the sacrificial altar, which was covered with a thin and unbreakable film, tightly stretched, and the translucent color reflected the dark space below. There was nothing.
He took a closer look and observed carefully that there were some tiny invisible black spots on the film, which were a little smaller than sesame spots.
It seems that he came to negotiate with him only after trial and error failed.
Fu Yan made up his mind, threw the object in his hand upwards casually, reached out to grab it again, turned and left.
Several rows of trees behind the altar lined up neatly on both sides, leading to a pagoda made of stone and rocks, piercing straight to the sky beyond the treetops.
Fu Zhan took a deep look at the pagoda, and then jumped down the stone steps back to the flat ground on the valley.
At night, the sound of insects was silent, and the sound of knocking on the door was loud again.
"Who is it?" Fu Yan felt impatient, and had already ordered that they should not disturb each other for the past few days, "Go out."
The knocking on the door outside really stopped, but suddenly there was the sound of the door opening.
Fu Zan was taken aback for a moment, and was about to think about who was so bold, when he turned his head and looked at his father's always caring expression, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't open the door, Fu Xuan broke in directly, knowing that this eccentric little son was not polite.After entering the door, the light blood energy became more and more intense. The blood of the Phoenix Royal Family was drawn to the Holy Spirit, so he could immediately tell who it came from.He walked into the inner room calmly, and saw a layer of dark bloody water on the bottom of the low jar-shaped vessel on the right table, and there seemed to be foam on it.And the young man at the table was shocked when he saw him suddenly barging in, and jumped off the chair, quite annoyed: "Father is so rude now?"
Fu Xuan glanced at the bloody cuts on the young man's arm, and said with a light smile, "I know my son is busy, so I didn't ask you to come out and open the door."
"I didn't say I would open the door for you." Fu Yan pulled down his sleeves rudely and said coldly.
Seeing his movements, Fu Xuan knew that Fu Zan had no intention of avoiding him, so she said, "I'll order someone to bring in some tonic ginseng tomorrow. Zhan'er has worked hard these days, so I can't damage the foundation of my body."
Fu Zan smiled inexplicably, and said, "Father, do you want to come and see the Gu species I've raised?"
Fu Xuan let his will, took two steps forward, and saw two small Gu wriggling in the bottom layer of blood of the vessel, the size of a thumb, and the dark body was more shiny in the dark red blood, and it was longer than the usual size , the blood around it was obviously diluted a bit.
Fu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Can you feed this far in such a short time?"
"Otherwise?" Fu Yan snorted disdainfully, and said, "Then when you tried to raise Gu people from your clan, how good were those people?"
"Huh?" Fu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and he didn't want to hide it, so he confessed, "All the Gu breeders in the clan know the difficulty of making this 'Despise Corpse Gu', and the best among them will inevitably have difficulty climbing the ladder." If you want to be a father, let them try it, so what? But it really didn’t work.”
"So you came to me?" Fu Yan sat back on the chair again, with his head half-tilted, and said.
Fu Xuan smiled and said: "Zan'er, you are destined to be a man. Since you have such a talent from heaven, as a father, you also uphold the responsibility of being the master. Selfishly speaking, if you really don't want to, you can't force it as a father." you."
You use the security of the whole family and the hereditary throne to force you hot and cold, isn't that considered coercion?
Fu Yan was too lazy to entangle in this lie, he just said: "I'm not sure of it, and you don't have complete hope."
"Since Zan'er is willing to try, my father believes that you can do it."
Fu Yan was impatient, and turned around and said, "What is the purpose of the father coming alone so late today? It seems that the father is sure that I have not slept at this time?"
Fu Xuan found a chair beside him and sat down, automatically ignored the last sentence, and replied: "The lonely king is going to supervise the battle tomorrow, and after much deliberation before parting, he still needs to explain to my son himself."
Fu Zhan was taken aback for a moment, he was concentrating on cultivating Gu in his room, and he didn't know about outside affairs for nearly a month, yet he started a war with Yan Kingdom again?
"An accident happened to our clan army?" Fu Yan wondered, "Didn't the father always command thousands of horses and thousands of troops hundreds of miles away from a small town? Why do you have to go there in person now?"
"No, it's not a disaster. On the contrary, Sha Lihu and the others won the battle at the border, and some trivial matters still need to be explained in person." Fu Xuan smiled lightly.
Fu Xuan is more than half a hundred years old, but the climate in Nanman is warm and humid, and he is pampered, comfortable and happy all the year round, and he doesn't have a beard, so he doesn't look tired at all, more like a man in his forties, fading away from a young man Mania, but mature without showing excessive smoothness.No wonder there are young barbarians in the palace who are still willing to show their favor even after he repeatedly refuses.
However, Fu Zhan knew that the only thing that was occasionally exposed was the light that flashed from time to time in the narrow phoenix eyes, so that he never hated to look at him, preferring to imagine in his heart a similar but very different peaceful look.
He curled his lips and said: "I guess with your ability, it's not a bad situation."
"Victory can also be called failure, it just depends on how you deal with it," Fu Xuan mentioned this, and his words were indeed a bit of hidden joy, "For my father, I arranged for several elders in the clan to jointly take care of the affairs of the whole clan. If you have anything to do during these days, you can go to them to discuss. But once Weifu leaves, since you are the only direct lineage of the royal family, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop you from doing things. If Weifu returns and sees the corpse Gu is made, that is really a blessing, it can be the most comfortable time for me in the past two years."
"What? For so many years, father, besides the land of Yan Kingdom, what other things do you not feel comfortable with?" Fu Zhan said.
"That's too much." Seeing that Fu Zhan was happy to talk to him, Fu Xuan expressed his sincerity, "It's just that if we can capture Xiayan, those things will be wiped out."
"Land?" Fu Yan said, "Even if the Nanman's current land is round, does the father walk on it step by step every day? The palace where it is located is enough for daily living, so why should the father look at things that are not visible at all? Thousands of miles away on land?"
Fu Xuan raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't believe that the words came from him, she just smiled and said: "My son, where did you hear this, you are quite knowledgeable...but father wants to It is not the place, but the people on this earth."
"People on the ground?" Fu Zhan didn't believe it, "Get people on the ground by killing people on the ground? My father really still treated me like a child."
It was rare for Fu Zan to say such a thing about what he did, and Fu Xuan wondered: "Your words are very similar to Yan people's tone. When did you learn this?"
"Didn't you sneak in a batch of Yan's classic military art a few years ago?" Fu Yan turned his face and said, "Is it strange that I read it by chance?"
"That's what I ordered the following generals to read frequently," Fu Xuan suddenly said, "There is no need for the rest of the tribe to read it. The Yan people's behavior can be learned, and there is no need to imitate this empty talk. If they are all like the Yan people, they will end up in their current situation sooner or later."
"Have you captured Yan Kingdom?" Fu Zhan asked in surprise.
"Not yet, but from now on there is no need to worry," Fu Xuan said confidently, "It's just a matter of time."
"Then I wish my father the best of luck."
Fu Zhan turned around, faced the blood vessel on the counter again, pulled up his sleeves, picked up the dagger beside him, aimed at a piece of flesh on his forearm that was still intact between the streaks of blood, and rubbed lightly, the blood flowed from the This slender opening dripped from the side, and the shiny black Gu worm in the vessel smelled the delicious food, twisted its body again, and swiped towards the food.
Ordinary Gu insects can be directly placed on the owner's skin to drink blood to feed, but this corpse Gu is the most poisonous Gu, even the owner should not easily touch it with human skin, it can be said that among the Gu insects, the six relatives do not recognize it Vicious poison.
"Okay," Fu Xuan stared at the young man's back for a while, with a smile on his face, and said, "Rest early."
There was another sound of closing the door behind him.
Go to bed early?
Fu Zan bent his mouth ironically, the night was colder, and the bleeding place on his arm felt a little stinging, he lowered his eyes and murmured: "...you used to...you didn't treat yourself as a human..."
In the first month of the year, Guan Shuofeng swept through.The Human allied forces took advantage of the victory and pursued. They did not wait for the support from the Yan army to come, and then seized the city where the defense was not stable in the north. They went east to Jingzhou City to encircle Jingmen Pass, and faced Yan State across the Jinhe River in the south. Horrified Yanzhong.
In the barbarian army camp, they were full of feasts and wine, and a few captive women from Yan were also treated as teasing objects, and their voices were noisy.
Kou Bing, who was at the head of the chief general, was listening to a soldier below who reported military affairs in a low voice, his brows were furrowed more and more, before the soldier had fully reported back, he couldn't help shouting: "Ridiculous!"
The soldier was stunned by the yelling, he didn't know how to answer, he raised his eyes to look at the person sitting there, Sha Lihu waved his hand at him, and he quickly left the tent.
There was a lot of wine and meat in the tent, the sudden movement here caused several soldiers nearby to put down their wine bowls, and the laughter weakened a bit.
Sha Lihu didn't take it seriously, pinched the thigh of the woman next to him, and said to Kou Bing: "This city is ours now, so why not let them vent their anger? What's more, it's their barbarian's business to really hold accountable. What's the matter? It's a good show for nothing."
"The Yan army was losing streak and their morale was low. They slaughtered the city to vent their hatred and gathered the morale of the originally loose Yan army." Kou Bing continued, "It's still a trivial matter, but you killed everyone. Now, what are you going to do with just occupying a piece of land? Not to mention that the barbarian repeatedly told you not to act rashly after the siege. Is there room for negotiation?"
"I don't agree with this," Sha Lihu felt disappointed, and patted the Yannv next to him to ask her to drink more wine. The Yan people are tearing their face apart, so what is the way out? If you want me to say that the move of breaking Dorosanto is a good one, don’t hesitate, let’s kill the rest of the people in the city as well!"
The hands of Yan Nu, who was pouring wine next to her, trembled slightly, and poured a few drops of the wine on the table.
"Hey! You woman can't even pour wine!" A soldier below took advantage of the opportunity and said with a sinister smile, "Let me teach you..."
Kou Bing also calmed down, and said again: "What about the others? What do you think?"
Sha Lihu's big round bell-like eyes stared, and the people at the next table who heard the movement here were afraid to speak.The remaining tables at the end are all addicted to wine and music, and have not heard the debates of the people above.
"Wuma," Kou Bing called his name, "What do you think?"
Wuma sat next to the deputy general Rong Ze, and when he heard the words, he turned from his fugue state just now, put down his wine bowl, and replied, "This matter... I think the barbarian should make a decision. The matter has come to an end, and there is nothing more to pursue. .”
Sha Lihu snorted.
"Wuma is right."
A human voice suddenly came from outside the curtain, with a low but undeniable tone.
The barbarian soldiers who had just picked up the barbecue on the plate shook their hands, and the cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they were a little more frightened than when they heard Kou Bing's shocking words just now.
Sha Lihu was also shocked, he didn't expect this person to come here not far away at this time, and he didn't hear any notice beforehand.Kou Bing reacted quickly and stood up immediately.
A soldier reached out to lift the curtain, Fu Xuan's chestnut-colored figure came from far to near, and the familiar fierce phoenix eyes came in.The hem of the golden embroidered phoenix-patterned clothes dragged to the ground, quite out of place with this simple tent.
Everyone hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted:
"We have seen the Lord."
"Get up."
Everyone still stood there dumbfounded, not daring to move.
Sha Lihu was in the center of the crowd, seeing this, he took the lead two steps forward and said: "My lord, please take your seat."
"Your side...it's so lively." Fu Xuan didn't move his hands behind his hands, his eyes swept over the scene of the wine and meat in the tent, and his voice was neither happy nor angry.
Even Sha Lihu choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Fu Xuan locked her eyes on the trembling woman kneeling beside the top seat, squinted her eyes and said, "All the women go out."
The swallows were still shaking, and the soldiers beside them scolded in a low voice: "Go! Go!"
When the Yannv hurried out of the tent and Fu Xuan took her seat, her expression turned cold.
Kou Bing stepped forward to break the silence, and said with a slight smile, "Why did the lord suddenly come here today? This barracks is simple, and the place has not been prepared in advance..."
"Kou Bing," Fu Xuan raised her phoenix eyebrows, her voice was still lukewarm, "The lonely king ordered you to supervise the army, but he didn't want you to mess around with him."
"My lord, forgive my sins," Kou Bing was shocked, and knelt down again, and Sha Lihu knelt down next to him.
Kou Bingdao: "My lord, today was originally just to celebrate the fact that the soldiers breached the border of Jingzhou in the past two days, and the war has not stopped for the past two months. This is just a chance for the soldiers to relax. Just now, Caichen discussed the military situation with General Sha. .”
"Yes, the little soldier who came in with the message was ordered by the lonely king," Fu Xuan said, "The lonely king can hear the movement in your tent clearly when he is outside."
Kou Bingdun felt a chill down his spine, originally he was also surprised why the little soldier didn't choose his time, and insisted on rushing in to report such disappointing things when the banquet was full. It turned out that it was the Lord's temptation from the beginning, and he said immediately: " The minister is guilty."
Fu Xuan ignored him, turned his gaze to Sha Lihu, and said: "Lihu, there was a commotion in the camp just now, what did you say... The lonely king didn't hear clearly, repeat it."
Sha Lihu replied with his hands behind his back: "My lord, after all, the Hu people and our barbarian army are only in contact with each other temporarily. Whatever the Hu army's wishes, I can't be the master."
"That's right," Fu Xuan said with a smile, "Gu Wang didn't say you were wrong, why are you nervous?"
"The minister just drank too much wine at the banquet... his words are often unobstructed." Sha Lihu said frankly.
"Well," Fu Xuan reached out to the table, checked the depth of the wine cup, and said, "There is a good reason, you will wake up from the wine when I come."
Sha Lihu knew that His Majesty's words and deeds seemed to be angry, the line on the back of the bow tightened, and he put his hands behind his back and said: "I am willing to lead the army by myself, and the staff will be responsible for one hundred."
"Why?" Fu Xuan looked at him coldly and asked.
"Neglect of duty, marching almost slack." Sha Lihu replied.
"Witch horse." Fu Xuan suddenly called out.
Wumasun, who was at the bottom, has been silent since Fu Xuan entered the door. There seemed to be many words and emotions in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it, so he had to be depressed in his heart and listened quietly.At this time, seeing Fu Xuan summoned him suddenly, he quickly answered, "The last general is here."
"Do you think what General Sha said?" Fu Xuan just looked at Sha Lihu intently, "Are there any omissions?"
"General Sha missed two things: first, he lied in front of the lord; second, he captured the prisoners of war and had fun in the camp." Wu Masun said in a deep voice with a sarcasm in his eyes.
Time turned back in time, the two had switched positions, and it was his turn to speak out and blame each other.
Sha Lihu narrowed his eyes, and the cruelty gradually grew in his eyes.
Fu Xuan said: "Lihu, what do you think?"
Sha Lihu still wanted to retort: "My lord, once the city is captured, all the wealth and food and luxuries of the people in the city will be ours, so why not use them as captives?"
"A military camp, where every action depends on the decision-making of the march, that Yannv has a mouth and ears, how do you know that she didn't sneak into the army on purpose to find out information?" Fu Xuan asked back.
Sha Lihu was speechless.
Fu Xuan's eyes swept across the crowd and the messy banquet in the tent again, and said without mercy, "Everyone in the tent today will go and get thirty army sticks."
"Sha Lihu, the Solitary Talisman I gave you back then, the lonely king will keep it for now."
"Yes." Everyone felt even more anxious after recovering from the heat wave of a banquet, as if a basin of cold water had been poured across them.
"The Gu Wang was overjoyed when he heard the victory in Luoxie City three days ago. I will show my merits to everyone in front of the clan. I hope to preserve my strength. This battle is bound to win the final result," Fu Xuan raised her eyelids and said. "But the lonely king also knows that when dealing with the Yan army two years ago, all of you have deliberately preserved your strength from the lonely king's orders. Now you have released all of them, and your hearts are naturally happy. Transmission to the end is laborious and time-consuming, so the Lone King personally came to supervise the battle this time, and also came to check how your marching status is. You—”
"It's really not what the lonely king expected." Fu Xuan hooked her lower lip, full of sarcasm.
Kou Bing hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the phrase "Honor the Holy Spirit".
"As for the matter of the Hu soldiers massacring the city just now, I also heard the report from the soldiers below when I first came here," Fu Xuan said again, "The Hu people want to vent their anger and want to slaughter, so let them do it. But now, don't follow the Hu people A group of people acting rashly. We are not teachers of benevolence and righteousness, but this important town of Yan Kingdom has not yet penetrated, and you are eager to enjoy the results of the battle, no."
"I'll gather the soldiers tomorrow, and then prepare for the battle and prepare to cross the Jin River and march towards the southern city of Yan Kingdom." Sha Lihu said.
"No," Fu Xuan said, "From now on, the King will be stationed here to guard the cities that have already been laid down. Without the King's orders, no one can act recklessly. Anyone who violates the law will be punished by military law."
"It's getting late at night, so we're all going back first, and it won't be too late to receive the army sticks tomorrow," Fu Xuan ordered blindly, without explaining too much, "Wuma, you stay here."
Now that Fu Xuan had ordered the dismissal, all the soldiers would rush out of the tent as if they were running away, Sha Lihu took no haste behind the crowd, and when he was about to leave the tent, he raised his eyes and gave Wu Masun a hateful look.
Wu Masun did not show any weakness, and raised his eyebrows to meet him, without saying a word of provocation.
When the tent was empty and there were only two people left, Fu Xuan took the lead and said, "Wuma, come and sit down."
Wu Masun obediently stepped forward to sit down, raised his eyes and said, "My lord."
Fu Xuan softened her voice slightly, and said, "Wuma, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and the lonely king feels that you have grown up a lot."
Wu Masun pursed his lips, but his body relaxed a lot, and said: "My lord, the final general has already reached the crown, why do you say 'grow up'?"
Fu Xuan smiled lightly and said: "You have been by the lonely king's side since you were young. Although you joined the army early, you are not very old. You are the youngest among all the people just now. But if you are really good at martial arts Miaozi, the lonely king will not let you directly lead the army as a general from the beginning."
"Thank you, Lord, for your promotion." Wumasun said.
"Before I demoted you, and even put you under Rong Ze, do you have any resentment in your heart?" Fu Xuan asked.
"Honorable Master intends to sharpen, Wuma already knows." Wumasun said with a low eyebrow.
"It seems that the lonely king really did nothing wrong," Fu Xuan sighed with a smile, "I think when your father died in the war and you were sent to the lonely king, it was a few years earlier than Zhan'er was born. During these years, the lonely king But it really treats each other as a family."
Inexplicably, Wu Masun recalled that Fu Zan's disdainful and arrogant face back then seemed to have similarities with Fu Xuan's expression, but it was also quite different.
All kinds of distracting thoughts flashed through, and Wumasun replied in a daze: "Thank you for the great love of the lord, Wumasun must attack Yan's heart and brains, one is to avenge his father, and the other is to repay the kindness of the lord."
Fu Xuan smiled and said: "Your loyal lonely king has already known, Wuma, as long as you are willing to follow orders and listen to the lonely king, you will still have a chance to win military merits and be promoted."
"……Yes."
"Sha Lihu doesn't deal with you, this lonely king knows it," Fu Xuan smiled and glanced at him, "but at the critical moment, we must first see who is the friend or foe. If a big war is imminent, and you are still arguing about old things, the lonely king will be angry."
Wumasun responded, with a cold light in his eyes: "Wuma understands."
"It's getting late, and the lonely king won't bother you to rest, go back first." Fu Xuan said.
"My lord," Wumasun said, "there is still one thing to do at the end."
"You said."
"How many heads... can the general be replaced by Sha Lihu?"
Fu Xuan raised his eyebrows, turned around and said: "Wuma, do you know which old saying of our family has been answered by winning this battle?"
Wu Masun didn't realize how this had anything to do with what he asked, so he just pursed his lips and said: "My lord, you know that the general will not know the meaning of the language..."
"The first words in "Feng Lue": 'The Emperor Feng is in Fuye, and he will not be popular for three years, and the fame will soar to the sky. The results of the military training for many years are the same, and so are you. Wuma, you are much better off than Sha Lihu at this age, why rush at this moment?"
Fu Xuan intentionally avoided it, but Wu Masun dared to ask more questions, and said: "The general will be educated."
"Go."
The young barbarian retreated as he said.
Fu Xuan squinted at his leaving back.
"I have seen the young master."
Several people in black robes with purple patterns and gauze hats stood in twos and threes, quite casually saluting.
Looking into his face, it is obvious that he has been with witches all year round, his blood seems to be deficient, his cheeks are sunken, his movements are eerie and slow, and there is also a look of disdain in the depths of his eyes.
Fu Zan was too lazy to deal with them, so he cut straight to the point and said, "I heard that the father ordered you to breed the corpse gu?"
The complexions of those people changed slightly, they looked at each other, and then one of them came out and said: "We don't have any ancient books on the development of ignorant corpses. We are naturally dull, so it is naturally difficult to make it."
"Stop talking nonsense," Fu Yan said impatiently, "Answer whatever you ask, when did he start ordering you to make that thing?"
The person who came out hesitated to think, and the person behind replied vaguely: "Probably decades ago... We can't remember the exact time..."
decades ago?
Fu Zhan snorted coldly, and said: "Fu Xuan has been on the throne for more than [-] years. If you can't remember the exact year, you should have the impression whether it was before or after he came to the throne."
"It should be...before assuming the throne," the person behind hesitated, "I was still young at the time... Quan Dao was talking for fun, and I didn't take it to heart."
"Then you really won't seize the opportunity," Fu Yan sneered, and said, "This ancient book was completely destroyed by the former priest. You have no reference for so many years even if you want to think about it..."
The few people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what the boy meant, but they still caught a key word - "former" priest.
One person was surprised: "The young master's meaning of 'former priest' is..."
"That's right," Fu Yan said with several layers of arrogance in his tone, "Fu Zhaoheng has been absconding for many years without a trace, and his life and death are unknown. Stand in this position for a long time. Since I am good at healing Gu, I am naturally willing to do my best for the whole Nanman clan."
Those few Gu raisers are proficient in the most difficult sorcery in this clan, and their qualifications are old. Even if they are from the royal family, they don't have any fear in their hearts. Originally, they just dealt with it casually based on the young man's pretentious words. I care very much.But when it comes to the ability to make Gu, it just hit a few people's worries.
"What does the young master mean... have you already made the corpse gu?" One person excitedly asked.
Fu Zan didn't answer his question, but said again: "Since you have been studying the 'Morning Corpse Gu' for so many years, do you have a finished product? Let's take a look."
Having confessed their thoughts just now, these people also knew that it would be useless to hide any more, so they led Fu Zan to the inner room.
There are all kinds of glass jars, snakes, scorpions and poisonous insects in the cabinets.
And on the grid in the center, there is only a glass bottle with a phoenix tail and a low waist. A Gu raiser stepped forward and held it down, and said to Fu Zan: "Young master, this is the previous sample, but it is all Incomplete, it can't compare to the real ignorant corpse Gu in the legend."
Fu Zhan bent down, looked up at the Gu worms that were still crawling in the bloody water behind the bright red glass, and said, "I just want to ask you, since you have devoted yourself to research for so many years, you should know that the dead body What is the use of Gu?"
"It's the most yin and poisonous Gu. Once a mortal is controlled by the Gu insect, it can lock the three meridians and seven chakras, causing the seven orifices of a living person to bleed to death in the shortest time. It is an extremely vicious poison." The person behind replied.
"Then do you know how many Gu worms are needed for this ignorant corpse Gu?" Fu Yan stared intently at the black thing in the glass bottle, and casually asked the people behind him.
"Usually all three are used together, which can seal poison in the shortest time in the left, middle, and right three Qi meridians," the Gu breeder behind seemed to be excited, "If the corpse Gu is used to kill people, it must be known for its accuracy, ruthlessness, and speed." The sharp weapon-"
Another person next to him elbowed him, and he froze for a moment, then stopped talking.
Fu Zhan straightened up, turned his head, looked at him with a smile, and said, "You're right, then tell me, why are there seven Gu worms left here? Three are a match, and if one dies, the other two will die." It will only die with it. You stay with Gu insects all day long, don’t tell me that this is some kind of negligence that caused you to raise one more or miss two..."
The Gu raisers looked at each other, they didn't expect the young master to ask such detailed questions, they didn't know how to answer.
"You guys," Fu Yan said firmly, "have already used it."
The Gu raisers felt unwell after being stared at by the young man, and one of them said: "Our status is low, so we can't get on the altar, these things... are all made and handed over to the lord." of."
Fu Zhan smiled, and then said casually: "Use it as soon as you use it, what's there to be nervous about. Aren't these things made for people to use? Then you semi-finished products...after using them on living people How's the effect?"
The man said helplessly: "Young master...it's really not for us...we have no reason to lie to you."
"I see," Fu Yan said boredly, waved at him, and said, "Why don't you come over and try."
The Gu keeper flinched, and said awkwardly: "Young master, stop making fun of me."
Fu Zan turned around and raised the red-patterned glass bottle with both hands.He loosened his hand lightly, and with a crisp sound, the glass bottle burst vertically on the ground, and the bright red blood splashed on the young man's purple robe, making it even more colorful.And the few Gu worms on the ground underwent a drastic change, wriggling and intertwining.
"Hey..." One person wanted to stop subconsciously, but was forced down by another person beside him.
Fu Zhan raised his foot, and the soles of his shoes ran over the seven Gu worms, then walked to the corner lamp, took off the lampshade, and threw the half-burned candle on the Gu worms in the bloody water.
The fire is lingering, and there is a slight burnt smell that permeates the air.
The flames were a little redder than the blood on the ground. In the light of the flames, Fu Zhan was facing them and said:
"Since I have the ability to make pure corpse Gu, don't let me see these fakes again."
The boy strode away.
The Gu raisers were left standing still, expressionless, staring blankly at the charred worm shells within the red flames.
"Deng Deng," the old servant carrying the food basket said without hearing the voice in the room, "Young Master, the lunch has been prepared."
There was no answer from inside the door, and after a long time, as if the time had been misplaced, a hoarse voice came from the room, listening carefully with the childishness of a young man: "Put it at the door first."
The bright sun in the sky was already moving westward, but it was a bit hotter than it was at noon.
The old servant put down the food basket as he said, and was about to leave, but saw the wooden door open with a "squeak".
The young man who came out covered his forehead with purple-gold eyebrows, and the embroidered pattern of phoenix tail flashed with the light.The two slanted eyebrows below it revealed the usual displeasure.It was still the usual purple-colored and gold-patterned robe, but it seemed that it hadn't been changed for many days, and the corners of the clothes were wrinkled, no longer its usual glory.
"Young master." Seeing him coming out, the old servant turned around and picked up the food basket on the ground, and handed it to Fu Zhan.
Fu Zan didn't answer, and said: "Take it back first, I'm going out now."
"Yes." The old servant obeyed and withdrew.
Fu Zhan squinted his eyes to avoid the too strong light in the sky. After a long silence, he took a few steps back and locked the door of the palace.
He stepped out of the outer court.
Fu Zan was not used to crowded places since he was a child, and he didn't want to live next to the main hall of Fu Xuan's palace. Fu Xuan also followed him and chose a palace for him near the mountains and rivers.Others in the clan only said that Fu Xuan loves his son dearly, and since the death of Fu Zhan's biological mother, he has not continued to remarry, let alone Fu Zan, the only son who has been the only son for many years.
On the contrary, Fu Zhan was arrogant, stubborn and willful, which was not popular in the eyes of his tribe.If it wasn't for the fact that Su Hui was a genius in the clan since he was a child, I'm afraid the clansmen didn't have much affection for the young master of the royal family.
"Hmph." Fu Zhan snorted coldly, what Fu Xuan was planning, others didn't know, but he knew it very well.
Within a hundred steps, a white round altar was sunken in the green field valley, surrounded by layers of vertical barriers like a maze. It was the Huanshu altar where the Nanman clan sacrificed to the Phoenix Spirit, and its center protruded. A round stone table-sized lift is the sacrificial altar.
Fu Zan stepped into the altar in a few steps, and when he climbed up to the sacrificial altar, he slowly took out an object from the lapel, like a small copper box containing a woman's earrings.
The young man stared at this thing and pursed his lips, his eyes glanced at the empty space in the center of the sacrificial altar, which was covered with a thin and unbreakable film, tightly stretched, and the translucent color reflected the dark space below. There was nothing.
He took a closer look and observed carefully that there were some tiny invisible black spots on the film, which were a little smaller than sesame spots.
It seems that he came to negotiate with him only after trial and error failed.
Fu Yan made up his mind, threw the object in his hand upwards casually, reached out to grab it again, turned and left.
Several rows of trees behind the altar lined up neatly on both sides, leading to a pagoda made of stone and rocks, piercing straight to the sky beyond the treetops.
Fu Zhan took a deep look at the pagoda, and then jumped down the stone steps back to the flat ground on the valley.
At night, the sound of insects was silent, and the sound of knocking on the door was loud again.
"Who is it?" Fu Yan felt impatient, and had already ordered that they should not disturb each other for the past few days, "Go out."
The knocking on the door outside really stopped, but suddenly there was the sound of the door opening.
Fu Zan was taken aback for a moment, and was about to think about who was so bold, when he turned his head and looked at his father's always caring expression, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Seeing that he didn't open the door, Fu Xuan broke in directly, knowing that this eccentric little son was not polite.After entering the door, the light blood energy became more and more intense. The blood of the Phoenix Royal Family was drawn to the Holy Spirit, so he could immediately tell who it came from.He walked into the inner room calmly, and saw a layer of dark bloody water on the bottom of the low jar-shaped vessel on the right table, and there seemed to be foam on it.And the young man at the table was shocked when he saw him suddenly barging in, and jumped off the chair, quite annoyed: "Father is so rude now?"
Fu Xuan glanced at the bloody cuts on the young man's arm, and said with a light smile, "I know my son is busy, so I didn't ask you to come out and open the door."
"I didn't say I would open the door for you." Fu Yan pulled down his sleeves rudely and said coldly.
Seeing his movements, Fu Xuan knew that Fu Zan had no intention of avoiding him, so she said, "I'll order someone to bring in some tonic ginseng tomorrow. Zhan'er has worked hard these days, so I can't damage the foundation of my body."
Fu Zan smiled inexplicably, and said, "Father, do you want to come and see the Gu species I've raised?"
Fu Xuan let his will, took two steps forward, and saw two small Gu wriggling in the bottom layer of blood of the vessel, the size of a thumb, and the dark body was more shiny in the dark red blood, and it was longer than the usual size , the blood around it was obviously diluted a bit.
Fu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Can you feed this far in such a short time?"
"Otherwise?" Fu Yan snorted disdainfully, and said, "Then when you tried to raise Gu people from your clan, how good were those people?"
"Huh?" Fu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and he didn't want to hide it, so he confessed, "All the Gu breeders in the clan know the difficulty of making this 'Despise Corpse Gu', and the best among them will inevitably have difficulty climbing the ladder." If you want to be a father, let them try it, so what? But it really didn’t work.”
"So you came to me?" Fu Yan sat back on the chair again, with his head half-tilted, and said.
Fu Xuan smiled and said: "Zan'er, you are destined to be a man. Since you have such a talent from heaven, as a father, you also uphold the responsibility of being the master. Selfishly speaking, if you really don't want to, you can't force it as a father." you."
You use the security of the whole family and the hereditary throne to force you hot and cold, isn't that considered coercion?
Fu Yan was too lazy to entangle in this lie, he just said: "I'm not sure of it, and you don't have complete hope."
"Since Zan'er is willing to try, my father believes that you can do it."
Fu Yan was impatient, and turned around and said, "What is the purpose of the father coming alone so late today? It seems that the father is sure that I have not slept at this time?"
Fu Xuan found a chair beside him and sat down, automatically ignored the last sentence, and replied: "The lonely king is going to supervise the battle tomorrow, and after much deliberation before parting, he still needs to explain to my son himself."
Fu Zhan was taken aback for a moment, he was concentrating on cultivating Gu in his room, and he didn't know about outside affairs for nearly a month, yet he started a war with Yan Kingdom again?
"An accident happened to our clan army?" Fu Yan wondered, "Didn't the father always command thousands of horses and thousands of troops hundreds of miles away from a small town? Why do you have to go there in person now?"
"No, it's not a disaster. On the contrary, Sha Lihu and the others won the battle at the border, and some trivial matters still need to be explained in person." Fu Xuan smiled lightly.
Fu Xuan is more than half a hundred years old, but the climate in Nanman is warm and humid, and he is pampered, comfortable and happy all the year round, and he doesn't have a beard, so he doesn't look tired at all, more like a man in his forties, fading away from a young man Mania, but mature without showing excessive smoothness.No wonder there are young barbarians in the palace who are still willing to show their favor even after he repeatedly refuses.
However, Fu Zhan knew that the only thing that was occasionally exposed was the light that flashed from time to time in the narrow phoenix eyes, so that he never hated to look at him, preferring to imagine in his heart a similar but very different peaceful look.
He curled his lips and said: "I guess with your ability, it's not a bad situation."
"Victory can also be called failure, it just depends on how you deal with it," Fu Xuan mentioned this, and his words were indeed a bit of hidden joy, "For my father, I arranged for several elders in the clan to jointly take care of the affairs of the whole clan. If you have anything to do during these days, you can go to them to discuss. But once Weifu leaves, since you are the only direct lineage of the royal family, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop you from doing things. If Weifu returns and sees the corpse Gu is made, that is really a blessing, it can be the most comfortable time for me in the past two years."
"What? For so many years, father, besides the land of Yan Kingdom, what other things do you not feel comfortable with?" Fu Zhan said.
"That's too much." Seeing that Fu Zhan was happy to talk to him, Fu Xuan expressed his sincerity, "It's just that if we can capture Xiayan, those things will be wiped out."
"Land?" Fu Yan said, "Even if the Nanman's current land is round, does the father walk on it step by step every day? The palace where it is located is enough for daily living, so why should the father look at things that are not visible at all? Thousands of miles away on land?"
Fu Xuan raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't believe that the words came from him, she just smiled and said: "My son, where did you hear this, you are quite knowledgeable...but father wants to It is not the place, but the people on this earth."
"People on the ground?" Fu Zhan didn't believe it, "Get people on the ground by killing people on the ground? My father really still treated me like a child."
It was rare for Fu Zan to say such a thing about what he did, and Fu Xuan wondered: "Your words are very similar to Yan people's tone. When did you learn this?"
"Didn't you sneak in a batch of Yan's classic military art a few years ago?" Fu Yan turned his face and said, "Is it strange that I read it by chance?"
"That's what I ordered the following generals to read frequently," Fu Xuan suddenly said, "There is no need for the rest of the tribe to read it. The Yan people's behavior can be learned, and there is no need to imitate this empty talk. If they are all like the Yan people, they will end up in their current situation sooner or later."
"Have you captured Yan Kingdom?" Fu Zhan asked in surprise.
"Not yet, but from now on there is no need to worry," Fu Xuan said confidently, "It's just a matter of time."
"Then I wish my father the best of luck."
Fu Zhan turned around, faced the blood vessel on the counter again, pulled up his sleeves, picked up the dagger beside him, aimed at a piece of flesh on his forearm that was still intact between the streaks of blood, and rubbed lightly, the blood flowed from the This slender opening dripped from the side, and the shiny black Gu worm in the vessel smelled the delicious food, twisted its body again, and swiped towards the food.
Ordinary Gu insects can be directly placed on the owner's skin to drink blood to feed, but this corpse Gu is the most poisonous Gu, even the owner should not easily touch it with human skin, it can be said that among the Gu insects, the six relatives do not recognize it Vicious poison.
"Okay," Fu Xuan stared at the young man's back for a while, with a smile on his face, and said, "Rest early."
There was another sound of closing the door behind him.
Go to bed early?
Fu Zan bent his mouth ironically, the night was colder, and the bleeding place on his arm felt a little stinging, he lowered his eyes and murmured: "...you used to...you didn't treat yourself as a human..."
In the first month of the year, Guan Shuofeng swept through.The Human allied forces took advantage of the victory and pursued. They did not wait for the support from the Yan army to come, and then seized the city where the defense was not stable in the north. They went east to Jingzhou City to encircle Jingmen Pass, and faced Yan State across the Jinhe River in the south. Horrified Yanzhong.
In the barbarian army camp, they were full of feasts and wine, and a few captive women from Yan were also treated as teasing objects, and their voices were noisy.
Kou Bing, who was at the head of the chief general, was listening to a soldier below who reported military affairs in a low voice, his brows were furrowed more and more, before the soldier had fully reported back, he couldn't help shouting: "Ridiculous!"
The soldier was stunned by the yelling, he didn't know how to answer, he raised his eyes to look at the person sitting there, Sha Lihu waved his hand at him, and he quickly left the tent.
There was a lot of wine and meat in the tent, the sudden movement here caused several soldiers nearby to put down their wine bowls, and the laughter weakened a bit.
Sha Lihu didn't take it seriously, pinched the thigh of the woman next to him, and said to Kou Bing: "This city is ours now, so why not let them vent their anger? What's more, it's their barbarian's business to really hold accountable. What's the matter? It's a good show for nothing."
"The Yan army was losing streak and their morale was low. They slaughtered the city to vent their hatred and gathered the morale of the originally loose Yan army." Kou Bing continued, "It's still a trivial matter, but you killed everyone. Now, what are you going to do with just occupying a piece of land? Not to mention that the barbarian repeatedly told you not to act rashly after the siege. Is there room for negotiation?"
"I don't agree with this," Sha Lihu felt disappointed, and patted the Yannv next to him to ask her to drink more wine. The Yan people are tearing their face apart, so what is the way out? If you want me to say that the move of breaking Dorosanto is a good one, don’t hesitate, let’s kill the rest of the people in the city as well!"
The hands of Yan Nu, who was pouring wine next to her, trembled slightly, and poured a few drops of the wine on the table.
"Hey! You woman can't even pour wine!" A soldier below took advantage of the opportunity and said with a sinister smile, "Let me teach you..."
Kou Bing also calmed down, and said again: "What about the others? What do you think?"
Sha Lihu's big round bell-like eyes stared, and the people at the next table who heard the movement here were afraid to speak.The remaining tables at the end are all addicted to wine and music, and have not heard the debates of the people above.
"Wuma," Kou Bing called his name, "What do you think?"
Wuma sat next to the deputy general Rong Ze, and when he heard the words, he turned from his fugue state just now, put down his wine bowl, and replied, "This matter... I think the barbarian should make a decision. The matter has come to an end, and there is nothing more to pursue. .”
Sha Lihu snorted.
"Wuma is right."
A human voice suddenly came from outside the curtain, with a low but undeniable tone.
The barbarian soldiers who had just picked up the barbecue on the plate shook their hands, and the cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they were a little more frightened than when they heard Kou Bing's shocking words just now.
Sha Lihu was also shocked, he didn't expect this person to come here not far away at this time, and he didn't hear any notice beforehand.Kou Bing reacted quickly and stood up immediately.
A soldier reached out to lift the curtain, Fu Xuan's chestnut-colored figure came from far to near, and the familiar fierce phoenix eyes came in.The hem of the golden embroidered phoenix-patterned clothes dragged to the ground, quite out of place with this simple tent.
Everyone hurriedly knelt on one knee and saluted:
"We have seen the Lord."
"Get up."
Everyone still stood there dumbfounded, not daring to move.
Sha Lihu was in the center of the crowd, seeing this, he took the lead two steps forward and said: "My lord, please take your seat."
"Your side...it's so lively." Fu Xuan didn't move his hands behind his hands, his eyes swept over the scene of the wine and meat in the tent, and his voice was neither happy nor angry.
Even Sha Lihu choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Fu Xuan locked her eyes on the trembling woman kneeling beside the top seat, squinted her eyes and said, "All the women go out."
The swallows were still shaking, and the soldiers beside them scolded in a low voice: "Go! Go!"
When the Yannv hurried out of the tent and Fu Xuan took her seat, her expression turned cold.
Kou Bing stepped forward to break the silence, and said with a slight smile, "Why did the lord suddenly come here today? This barracks is simple, and the place has not been prepared in advance..."
"Kou Bing," Fu Xuan raised her phoenix eyebrows, her voice was still lukewarm, "The lonely king ordered you to supervise the army, but he didn't want you to mess around with him."
"My lord, forgive my sins," Kou Bing was shocked, and knelt down again, and Sha Lihu knelt down next to him.
Kou Bingdao: "My lord, today was originally just to celebrate the fact that the soldiers breached the border of Jingzhou in the past two days, and the war has not stopped for the past two months. This is just a chance for the soldiers to relax. Just now, Caichen discussed the military situation with General Sha. .”
"Yes, the little soldier who came in with the message was ordered by the lonely king," Fu Xuan said, "The lonely king can hear the movement in your tent clearly when he is outside."
Kou Bingdun felt a chill down his spine, originally he was also surprised why the little soldier didn't choose his time, and insisted on rushing in to report such disappointing things when the banquet was full. It turned out that it was the Lord's temptation from the beginning, and he said immediately: " The minister is guilty."
Fu Xuan ignored him, turned his gaze to Sha Lihu, and said: "Lihu, there was a commotion in the camp just now, what did you say... The lonely king didn't hear clearly, repeat it."
Sha Lihu replied with his hands behind his back: "My lord, after all, the Hu people and our barbarian army are only in contact with each other temporarily. Whatever the Hu army's wishes, I can't be the master."
"That's right," Fu Xuan said with a smile, "Gu Wang didn't say you were wrong, why are you nervous?"
"The minister just drank too much wine at the banquet... his words are often unobstructed." Sha Lihu said frankly.
"Well," Fu Xuan reached out to the table, checked the depth of the wine cup, and said, "There is a good reason, you will wake up from the wine when I come."
Sha Lihu knew that His Majesty's words and deeds seemed to be angry, the line on the back of the bow tightened, and he put his hands behind his back and said: "I am willing to lead the army by myself, and the staff will be responsible for one hundred."
"Why?" Fu Xuan looked at him coldly and asked.
"Neglect of duty, marching almost slack." Sha Lihu replied.
"Witch horse." Fu Xuan suddenly called out.
Wumasun, who was at the bottom, has been silent since Fu Xuan entered the door. There seemed to be many words and emotions in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it, so he had to be depressed in his heart and listened quietly.At this time, seeing Fu Xuan summoned him suddenly, he quickly answered, "The last general is here."
"Do you think what General Sha said?" Fu Xuan just looked at Sha Lihu intently, "Are there any omissions?"
"General Sha missed two things: first, he lied in front of the lord; second, he captured the prisoners of war and had fun in the camp." Wu Masun said in a deep voice with a sarcasm in his eyes.
Time turned back in time, the two had switched positions, and it was his turn to speak out and blame each other.
Sha Lihu narrowed his eyes, and the cruelty gradually grew in his eyes.
Fu Xuan said: "Lihu, what do you think?"
Sha Lihu still wanted to retort: "My lord, once the city is captured, all the wealth and food and luxuries of the people in the city will be ours, so why not use them as captives?"
"A military camp, where every action depends on the decision-making of the march, that Yannv has a mouth and ears, how do you know that she didn't sneak into the army on purpose to find out information?" Fu Xuan asked back.
Sha Lihu was speechless.
Fu Xuan's eyes swept across the crowd and the messy banquet in the tent again, and said without mercy, "Everyone in the tent today will go and get thirty army sticks."
"Sha Lihu, the Solitary Talisman I gave you back then, the lonely king will keep it for now."
"Yes." Everyone felt even more anxious after recovering from the heat wave of a banquet, as if a basin of cold water had been poured across them.
"The Gu Wang was overjoyed when he heard the victory in Luoxie City three days ago. I will show my merits to everyone in front of the clan. I hope to preserve my strength. This battle is bound to win the final result," Fu Xuan raised her eyelids and said. "But the lonely king also knows that when dealing with the Yan army two years ago, all of you have deliberately preserved your strength from the lonely king's orders. Now you have released all of them, and your hearts are naturally happy. Transmission to the end is laborious and time-consuming, so the Lone King personally came to supervise the battle this time, and also came to check how your marching status is. You—”
"It's really not what the lonely king expected." Fu Xuan hooked her lower lip, full of sarcasm.
Kou Bing hesitated for a moment, and swallowed the phrase "Honor the Holy Spirit".
"As for the matter of the Hu soldiers massacring the city just now, I also heard the report from the soldiers below when I first came here," Fu Xuan said again, "The Hu people want to vent their anger and want to slaughter, so let them do it. But now, don't follow the Hu people A group of people acting rashly. We are not teachers of benevolence and righteousness, but this important town of Yan Kingdom has not yet penetrated, and you are eager to enjoy the results of the battle, no."
"I'll gather the soldiers tomorrow, and then prepare for the battle and prepare to cross the Jin River and march towards the southern city of Yan Kingdom." Sha Lihu said.
"No," Fu Xuan said, "From now on, the King will be stationed here to guard the cities that have already been laid down. Without the King's orders, no one can act recklessly. Anyone who violates the law will be punished by military law."
"It's getting late at night, so we're all going back first, and it won't be too late to receive the army sticks tomorrow," Fu Xuan ordered blindly, without explaining too much, "Wuma, you stay here."
Now that Fu Xuan had ordered the dismissal, all the soldiers would rush out of the tent as if they were running away, Sha Lihu took no haste behind the crowd, and when he was about to leave the tent, he raised his eyes and gave Wu Masun a hateful look.
Wu Masun did not show any weakness, and raised his eyebrows to meet him, without saying a word of provocation.
When the tent was empty and there were only two people left, Fu Xuan took the lead and said, "Wuma, come and sit down."
Wu Masun obediently stepped forward to sit down, raised his eyes and said, "My lord."
Fu Xuan softened her voice slightly, and said, "Wuma, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and the lonely king feels that you have grown up a lot."
Wu Masun pursed his lips, but his body relaxed a lot, and said: "My lord, the final general has already reached the crown, why do you say 'grow up'?"
Fu Xuan smiled lightly and said: "You have been by the lonely king's side since you were young. Although you joined the army early, you are not very old. You are the youngest among all the people just now. But if you are really good at martial arts Miaozi, the lonely king will not let you directly lead the army as a general from the beginning."
"Thank you, Lord, for your promotion." Wumasun said.
"Before I demoted you, and even put you under Rong Ze, do you have any resentment in your heart?" Fu Xuan asked.
"Honorable Master intends to sharpen, Wuma already knows." Wumasun said with a low eyebrow.
"It seems that the lonely king really did nothing wrong," Fu Xuan sighed with a smile, "I think when your father died in the war and you were sent to the lonely king, it was a few years earlier than Zhan'er was born. During these years, the lonely king But it really treats each other as a family."
Inexplicably, Wu Masun recalled that Fu Zan's disdainful and arrogant face back then seemed to have similarities with Fu Xuan's expression, but it was also quite different.
All kinds of distracting thoughts flashed through, and Wumasun replied in a daze: "Thank you for the great love of the lord, Wumasun must attack Yan's heart and brains, one is to avenge his father, and the other is to repay the kindness of the lord."
Fu Xuan smiled and said: "Your loyal lonely king has already known, Wuma, as long as you are willing to follow orders and listen to the lonely king, you will still have a chance to win military merits and be promoted."
"……Yes."
"Sha Lihu doesn't deal with you, this lonely king knows it," Fu Xuan smiled and glanced at him, "but at the critical moment, we must first see who is the friend or foe. If a big war is imminent, and you are still arguing about old things, the lonely king will be angry."
Wumasun responded, with a cold light in his eyes: "Wuma understands."
"It's getting late, and the lonely king won't bother you to rest, go back first." Fu Xuan said.
"My lord," Wumasun said, "there is still one thing to do at the end."
"You said."
"How many heads... can the general be replaced by Sha Lihu?"
Fu Xuan raised his eyebrows, turned around and said: "Wuma, do you know which old saying of our family has been answered by winning this battle?"
Wu Masun didn't realize how this had anything to do with what he asked, so he just pursed his lips and said: "My lord, you know that the general will not know the meaning of the language..."
"The first words in "Feng Lue": 'The Emperor Feng is in Fuye, and he will not be popular for three years, and the fame will soar to the sky. The results of the military training for many years are the same, and so are you. Wuma, you are much better off than Sha Lihu at this age, why rush at this moment?"
Fu Xuan intentionally avoided it, but Wu Masun dared to ask more questions, and said: "The general will be educated."
"Go."
The young barbarian retreated as he said.
Fu Xuan squinted at his leaving back.
"I have seen the young master."
Several people in black robes with purple patterns and gauze hats stood in twos and threes, quite casually saluting.
Looking into his face, it is obvious that he has been with witches all year round, his blood seems to be deficient, his cheeks are sunken, his movements are eerie and slow, and there is also a look of disdain in the depths of his eyes.
Fu Zan was too lazy to deal with them, so he cut straight to the point and said, "I heard that the father ordered you to breed the corpse gu?"
The complexions of those people changed slightly, they looked at each other, and then one of them came out and said: "We don't have any ancient books on the development of ignorant corpses. We are naturally dull, so it is naturally difficult to make it."
"Stop talking nonsense," Fu Yan said impatiently, "Answer whatever you ask, when did he start ordering you to make that thing?"
The person who came out hesitated to think, and the person behind replied vaguely: "Probably decades ago... We can't remember the exact time..."
decades ago?
Fu Zhan snorted coldly, and said: "Fu Xuan has been on the throne for more than [-] years. If you can't remember the exact year, you should have the impression whether it was before or after he came to the throne."
"It should be...before assuming the throne," the person behind hesitated, "I was still young at the time... Quan Dao was talking for fun, and I didn't take it to heart."
"Then you really won't seize the opportunity," Fu Yan sneered, and said, "This ancient book was completely destroyed by the former priest. You have no reference for so many years even if you want to think about it..."
The few people looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what the boy meant, but they still caught a key word - "former" priest.
One person was surprised: "The young master's meaning of 'former priest' is..."
"That's right," Fu Yan said with several layers of arrogance in his tone, "Fu Zhaoheng has been absconding for many years without a trace, and his life and death are unknown. Stand in this position for a long time. Since I am good at healing Gu, I am naturally willing to do my best for the whole Nanman clan."
Those few Gu raisers are proficient in the most difficult sorcery in this clan, and their qualifications are old. Even if they are from the royal family, they don't have any fear in their hearts. Originally, they just dealt with it casually based on the young man's pretentious words. I care very much.But when it comes to the ability to make Gu, it just hit a few people's worries.
"What does the young master mean... have you already made the corpse gu?" One person excitedly asked.
Fu Zan didn't answer his question, but said again: "Since you have been studying the 'Morning Corpse Gu' for so many years, do you have a finished product? Let's take a look."
Having confessed their thoughts just now, these people also knew that it would be useless to hide any more, so they led Fu Zan to the inner room.
There are all kinds of glass jars, snakes, scorpions and poisonous insects in the cabinets.
And on the grid in the center, there is only a glass bottle with a phoenix tail and a low waist. A Gu raiser stepped forward and held it down, and said to Fu Zan: "Young master, this is the previous sample, but it is all Incomplete, it can't compare to the real ignorant corpse Gu in the legend."
Fu Zhan bent down, looked up at the Gu worms that were still crawling in the bloody water behind the bright red glass, and said, "I just want to ask you, since you have devoted yourself to research for so many years, you should know that the dead body What is the use of Gu?"
"It's the most yin and poisonous Gu. Once a mortal is controlled by the Gu insect, it can lock the three meridians and seven chakras, causing the seven orifices of a living person to bleed to death in the shortest time. It is an extremely vicious poison." The person behind replied.
"Then do you know how many Gu worms are needed for this ignorant corpse Gu?" Fu Yan stared intently at the black thing in the glass bottle, and casually asked the people behind him.
"Usually all three are used together, which can seal poison in the shortest time in the left, middle, and right three Qi meridians," the Gu breeder behind seemed to be excited, "If the corpse Gu is used to kill people, it must be known for its accuracy, ruthlessness, and speed." The sharp weapon-"
Another person next to him elbowed him, and he froze for a moment, then stopped talking.
Fu Zhan straightened up, turned his head, looked at him with a smile, and said, "You're right, then tell me, why are there seven Gu worms left here? Three are a match, and if one dies, the other two will die." It will only die with it. You stay with Gu insects all day long, don’t tell me that this is some kind of negligence that caused you to raise one more or miss two..."
The Gu raisers looked at each other, they didn't expect the young master to ask such detailed questions, they didn't know how to answer.
"You guys," Fu Yan said firmly, "have already used it."
The Gu raisers felt unwell after being stared at by the young man, and one of them said: "Our status is low, so we can't get on the altar, these things... are all made and handed over to the lord." of."
Fu Zhan smiled, and then said casually: "Use it as soon as you use it, what's there to be nervous about. Aren't these things made for people to use? Then you semi-finished products...after using them on living people How's the effect?"
The man said helplessly: "Young master...it's really not for us...we have no reason to lie to you."
"I see," Fu Yan said boredly, waved at him, and said, "Why don't you come over and try."
The Gu keeper flinched, and said awkwardly: "Young master, stop making fun of me."
Fu Zan turned around and raised the red-patterned glass bottle with both hands.He loosened his hand lightly, and with a crisp sound, the glass bottle burst vertically on the ground, and the bright red blood splashed on the young man's purple robe, making it even more colorful.And the few Gu worms on the ground underwent a drastic change, wriggling and intertwining.
"Hey..." One person wanted to stop subconsciously, but was forced down by another person beside him.
Fu Zhan raised his foot, and the soles of his shoes ran over the seven Gu worms, then walked to the corner lamp, took off the lampshade, and threw the half-burned candle on the Gu worms in the bloody water.
The fire is lingering, and there is a slight burnt smell that permeates the air.
The flames were a little redder than the blood on the ground. In the light of the flames, Fu Zhan was facing them and said:
"Since I have the ability to make pure corpse Gu, don't let me see these fakes again."
The boy strode away.
The Gu raisers were left standing still, expressionless, staring blankly at the charred worm shells within the red flames.
