Chapter 23: King Changping
When Mrs. Xia was still the lord of Hongyu, she liked to raise peonies in her yard the most. Until now, Mrs. Xia has planted peonies in her own small yard in Kefu.
Ke Xiyuan looked at the peony in the courtyard at this moment, and felt like returning to Kefu. Every grass and tree here, all the plans, are almost exactly the same as Mrs. Kefuxia's yard.
His heart sank, and he pulled Zhou Chenyu's hand tighter. Zhou Chenyu stopped, and also found the problem here, and pulled Ke Xiyuan to his side.
"When you come out, how is it in the Flowing Cloud Palace? If people find out that Princess Yunxin is missing......", the white tiger passed into the secret, and Ke Xiyuan was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"Don't worry, Shaoxia, you have already let Jiuhui lie on the bed and pretend to be me! Mama Yu shouldn't care about me! Ke Xiyuan only felt that this white tiger was very familiar. Moreover, she was almost certain that this white tiger was the young owner she met in the study that day.
Emperor Longqing must have already inserted a dark line in Yunbo Town, so such a large number of people poured into Yunbo to have a place to settle. Just as Zhou Chenyu became a gardener, Baihu became a young owner.
Bai Hu glanced at the two clenched hands and turned his head, "Look at the map, it should be through this peony flower and pass through the corner gate over there." Let's go! β
Ke Xiyuan's heart was pounding, and she didn't know if there was an answer she wanted here. What happened back then? Is King Changping really alive?
They quickly walked to the corner door, thinking it would be locked, not wanting to push it open. The white tiger pushed open the door and was quickly shocked.
Under the moonlight, an old man with silver hair turned his back to them and drank himself, as if the surroundings had nothing to do with him.
There are no guards, no imaginary guards. Just a small yard behind a flower wall.
The yard is not big, but it is clean. There are also peonies in the yard, but they are much more delicate than those in the courtyard outside.
The three of them didn't expect that the mighty King of Changping would live alone in such a small courtyard.
What's going on? It will make the king of Changping so!
Ke Xiyuan trembled violently, if the letter left by Empress Yun was true, then the old man in front of him was his grandfather. Come to think of this. I couldn't help but take a step forward.
"Let's go! No matter what you say. I'm not going to see that kid either! You know that it will not be easy for her to come this time, if you still think that you are her uncle. Let's put an end to these battles quickly! I still say that war doesn't change a qiΔ! Ah Yuedu is gone, what more do you want? Say it. Angrily slammed the wine glass on the table.
Ke Xiyuan's lips moved, and her voice was a little erratic. "Grandfather!"
King Changping's body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head and saw Ke Xiyuan, his eyes slowly widened. In just an instant, tears overflowed his eyes.
"You...... Is it Yuanyuan? The king of Changping stood up tremblingly. Even when he is old, he is still handsome. Except for some gray in his eyes, he basically didn't see anything unusual.
Ke Xiyuan subconsciously clenched her fists and nodded, "I am!" β
Zhou Chenyu frowned, and whispered to Ke Xiyuan, "He can't see it!" β
Ke Xiyuan looked at it a few more times in disbelief and found that King Changping's eyes had long since lost their brilliance, and there was no need to focus, and they were indeed invisible. Covering his lips, he didn't dare to let himself cry.
"Did your grandfather's appearance scare you? Yuanyuan, come here! Let my grandfather see you! King Changping stretched out his hand in the direction of Ke Xiyuan, looking a little excited.
Zhou Chenyu patted Ke Xiyuan on the shoulder, "Go ahead!" He...... There is almost no martial arts, and the body is even weaker than you. Zhou Chenyu couldn't feel the internal force of King Changping at all, but felt that his breath was disordered and weak.
Ke Xiyuan immediately walked up and grabbed King Changping's hand, only to find that his hand was cold, "Grandfather, what is going on with this qiΔ?" β
King Changping patted Ke Xiyuan's hand, his eyes swept over Ke Xiyuan a few times, as if he wanted to take a hard look, but finally lowered his head in disappointment, "Girl, I don't blame your uncle for this qiΔ." He has been forced to get to this point. If I were twenty years younger, I might have gone too far, and I wouldn't have been able to give the people of Xuzhou such a good life! He and Ah Yue really governed Xuzhou very well. β
Ke Xiyuan helped King Changping to sit down, knowing that he was bound to listen to a long story.
"Yuanyuan, your grandmother is a very beautiful woman. Back then, my brother and I were both in love with her, but my father said that if you want the world and a beauty, you should choose one of the two. I chose your grandmother, and the royal brother chose the world. I willingly come here to spend the rest of my life with your grandmother, and I just feel that the days are quiet and beautiful. But unexpectedly, ......", King Changping said this, Qing XΓΉ was very excited, took out a jade comb from his arms, rubbed it and put it in Ke Xiyuan's hand.
"This comb was your grandmother's dear possession, and she loved it when she was there. You take it. The corners of King Changping's eyes were full of tears again, and he looked up like a bright moon, but the words stopped.
"My grandmother was killed, wasn't she?" , Ke Xiyuan just understood a little bit why the ancestor of the year was so crazy to kill a prince in the fiefdom, it turned out that there was such a relationship in it.
King Changping lowered his head, and a voice similar to a mournful roar came out of his throat, "Heart Devouring Gu!" Your grandmother was tortured to death by the Heart Devouring Gu! King Changping clenched his fists, recalling that period of time, and the blood in his body continued to boil.
It was another Heart Devouring Gu, Ke Xiyuan's body was stagnant, thinking of the evil things in his body and what happened to the Queen of the Clouds, and he secretly hated it in his heart.
"Dare to ask the prince, the origin of the Heart Devouring Gu!" When Zhou Chenyu heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and stepped forward and asked.
"Who are you? Why with Yuanyuan? Although King Changping is blind, his ears are excellent, and he has long known that Ke Xiyuan is not coming alone, and he knows that he is a man when he listens to his steps.
"The younger generation's surname is Zhou Chenyu, and Yuanyuan...... Yuanyuan is my wife who has not passed through the door! Zhou Chenyu was very confused. All along, Emperor Longqing was a special existence for him. He has never liked to be tamed, but he is willing to work hard by Emperor Longqing's side. Because all of his kung fu comes from Emperor Longqing, and many skills are carefully taught by Emperor Longqing. For him, Emperor Longqing is the master, the master and the father!
"The wife who didn't pass through the door?" , A trace of anger flashed on King Changping's face, pulled Ke Xiyuan behind him, stepped forward quickly with agility, and punched Zhou Chenyu accurately.
Zhou Chenyu didn't expect such a king of Changping to have such skills, bent his knees forward, quickly dodged, and then quickly moved behind the king of Changping with a beautiful sideways, "Lord Wang, the younger generation has no malicious intent, just want to figure out where that evil thing came from, but there is a solution!" β
King Changping withdrew his fist, his face was a little lonely, "The kid is not bad, but his skills are fast!" If the old man is ten years younger and the internal strength is still there, you may not be the old man's opponent! That's it...... The heroes don't mention the courage of the year! The king of Changping sat down by himself again, and beckoned in the direction of Ke Xiyuan, "Yuanyuan, sit with my grandfather!" β
Ke Xiyuan thought that the young King of Changping must be a first-class hero, just looking at him now, he is still in good spirits when he is down, and he knows what kind of demeanor he was when he was young.
"There are only three Heart Devouring Gu in the world. The imperial brother has a friend, who is a wizard in Miao Jiang, and loves to control these evil things the most. Back then, the imperial brother was too obsessed, so he begged this person to raise a female Gu with his own blood, and finally raised three young Gu, each made three pills. β
"My wife, that is, Yuanyuan's maternal grandmother, was accidentally intercepted by the imperial brother, and because she refused to comply, she was bewitched by the imperial brother. I tried my best to save her, but I could only watch her being tormented by the evil thing. In the end, she was no match after all, and she lost ......."
"My son lost his mother, so his temperament changed greatly, and when the imperial brother wanted to reconcile the red jade, he couldn't hold it back at all, and planned to rebel and overthrow the imperial brother. I was so grieved by the loss of my beloved wife that I could no longer stop it, so I sent my daughter away overnight and hid in this courtyard. In a flash, it has been more than ten years! It's just that I didn't expect that Ah Yue's girl was actually under the heart devouring Gu by the spies who came to investigate. This made my son hate the capital even more, sometimes sober, sometimes crazy. I know that you have no ill will towards me, but I know what you want. For Yuanyuan's sake, please let him live. He...... Just a poor man! I'm sorry for him in this life! When he lost his mother, not protecting him and Hongyu was the second biggest regret of my life! β
Zhou Chenyu clenched his fists, and his tone was cold, "The prince may not know that Yuanyuan has the last Heart-devouring Gu in this world!" β
King Changping's face turned white instantly, grabbed Ke Xiyuan's arm, and carefully probed the pulse, but muttered to himself, "It's weird!" Weird! How so? β
Ke Xiyuan didn't know what was strange, but Zhou Chenyu understood, "She has a cold disease in her body, the evil thing loves it, and she restrains each other, I use the pure yang internal force to urge it every day, but the evil thing doesn't dare to be presumptuous." So at the moment, it can still be controlled, but it can't be eradicated! β
"This is what that kid from Longqing gave you? It shouldn't be! That kid isn't that kind of person! To everyone's surprise, King Changping would actually speak for Emperor Longqing, which is really weird.
"Girl, did Liu Bufan show you this disease? Jianghu people call ghost doctors! The king of Changping pondered for a moment and continued to ask.
Ke Xiyuan was stunned, "Who is Liu Bufan?" I don't know! β
Bai Hu thought for a moment, "It should be Mr. Wuliu!" It is rumored that the ghost doctor disappeared more than ten years ago, and some people say that they seem to have seen him in the capital. If it's true, it should be Mr. Goyanagi! β
Only then did King Changping realize that there was actually a fourth person, his hands clenched into fists, and his voice was a little sharp, "Who are you?" (To be continued)
