Chapter 659: Goodbye Wuwei Daoist
How could poor Xiang Yu have thought that today's Wu Yue is no longer what it used to be, and the republic is even more prosperous and strong. Compared with the Flying Tiger Army, which was suffering far away in Henan, the strength of the People's Liberation Army may be unmatched in the Central Plains, and it is only the right time to liberate the entire Southern Chu.
I have to say that Wang Mang is just a courtier next to Xiang Yu, and he usually only slaps horses, and occasionally comes up with some good ideas for Xiang Yu, which is already thankful, and it is usually some slapstick ideas. This opinion he put forward this time, although it is also an idea to sell the country to seek glory, uniting with the Khitan will only make Southern Chu lose its sovereignty even more in the end. But I have to say that his letter is still very incendiary.
Let's not talk about what exactly is written in this letter, anyway, the content in it is enough to make the Khitan Emperor Longxin happy.
Soon, the letter was delivered to the Khitan Emperor Yelu Hongye, who had long been obsessed with the immortality of the protector of the Tao. In his eyes, political affairs are secondary, as long as he can live long enough, there is time to rule the world after immortality, so now he has been obsessed with the pursuit of immortality, and follows the Wuwei Taoist to "practice".
Wuwei Taoist is the emperor who was scared to death by the Supreme Treasure in Nanchu before, and he is also a national teacher, who cheats and eats and drinks and can only be deceived and abducted. I have to say that his luck is still very good, before the change of Jinshui Fort made him die on the battlefield, and finally after returning to the Khitan without dying, he was reused by the Khitan Emperor, returned to his old business, and returned to his identity as a "non-Taoist person", and began to refine the "Immortal Pill".
At this time, he racked his brains to make Yelu Hongye believe in himself, and first showed Yelu Hongye all the tricks he learned when he was young, so that he felt that he really had Taoism, and then he was refining pills. How did he know how to make the elixir of immortality, and he would grind some refined poisonous substances into pills all day long and present them to the Khitan Emperor. Eating these things once or twice will make people feel refreshed and rejuvenated, and their complexion will be as if they are back to a youthful state, but in the long run, more and more toxins will accumulate and kill people, but the Khitan Emperor has not yet noticed it. Now the lack of discomfort is said by the Wuwei Taoist to be a normal reaction after taking the elixir, so that the Khitan Emperor does not have to care, as long as he insists on taking it, this situation will subside.
But how can there be any real elixir in the world, this eating elixir is like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, the Khitan Emperor is becoming more and more inseparable from the elixir, and the day of returning to the West is getting closer and closer. Fortunately, the foundation of the world laid before him is still stable, although he has ignored the government for a long time, but he has not made any major mistakes, so there was no riot in the Khitan, before Wang Mang asked someone to send this letter, the Khitan Emperor was still alive in his dream of immortality and did not wake up, until the arrival of this moment, his life began to move towards the countdown.
"Emperor Qiyu, there is a messenger sent by the overlord of Southern Chu and Western Chu outside, asking to see him."
"The messenger sent by Xiang Yu? We haven't had much intersection since the last time we put down the rebellion of King Wu Yue together, and we don't have much contact with each other, how could he think of me again, and what do we have to ask for me. Tell the messenger that the emperor has a major matter to deal with recently, and he will not see the guest for the time being, and let him go back and tell Xiang Yu that if there is anything, let him solve it by himself, and don't come to disturb me. ”
I saw Yelu Hongye sitting cross-legged on the blanket, his hands with lotus fingers spread on his knees, his eyes slightly closed, and he was meditating like the Wuwei Taoist next to him, and he was still wearing the Taoist robe made by Wuwei Taoist for him, with long hair scattered, and his thin and silver face due to long-term use of these toxins looked like a fairy wind and bones.
"But......" The person who reported it looked embarrassed, and he stopped talking.
"King, since it is a letter from Xiang Yu, who has not been in contact for a long time, he must have come to the door without anything, he should have come to the emperor for help in an urgent matter, or summon him!" The Wuwei Taoist next to him said. After all, this Wuwei Taoist is still a Nanchu person, and when he heard that there was a messenger from Nanchu asking to see him, he felt a little tearful feeling in his heart, and he also wanted to see this Nanchu messenger.
"Since the national teachers have said so, then I will meet this Southern Chu messenger! Alas, it was really disappointing to disturb us when I was practicing immortality with the national teacher. Yelu Hongye said impatiently.
Wuwei Taoist said that he should admit Yelu Hongye felt funny in his heart, this Yelu Hongye is really brave and unscrupulous, even believe in such nonsense as immortality, this cross-legged sitting and resting which is the practice of immortality, it is nothing more than a trick to deceive him, he really has to sit for an hour or two every day, so that he has to accompany him to suffer here, and now this messenger comes, he can also sit down, and take a good look at the excitement on the side, Wuwei Taoist looks like he is not a big deal to see the excitement, Swaggering down next to Yelu Hongye's dragon chair. Before Yelu Hongye sat down, he began to taste the milk tea that had just been brewed.
Hiss, drank a sip of lubricated and sweet milk tea, and lay back on the chair with a beautiful body, thinking beautifully in his heart that this Khitan land is boring and tight, that is, the beauty and milk tea can still attract themselves. It's a pity that now that I am a Taoist priest, I can only look at the beauties after my eyes, and I can't touch or get on it, but I am still very satisfied with drinking this milk tea. Yelu Hongye, Yelu Hongye, you have to live a few more days, and when I merge all the power in your hands into my hands, you can give me the crane to return to the west to dream of your immortality.
"Hey, hey, hey......" Wuwei Daoist couldn't help but laugh.
"National teacher, what is so happy to laugh, have you thought of some way to prolong your life, and let the emperor learn and learn when you say it! I've been practicing this meditation so hard lately, and I'm trying to change my tricks. Seeing that Wuwei Daoist was on the side, the Khitan Emperor snickered and asked.
The emperor found out that he was snickering, and the Wuwei Taoist became serious and said: "Emperor, this meditation is the basic skill of cultivation, if you don't learn it well, how can you live forever, you should continue to practice, I just laughed because ...... Milk tea is just delicious. ”
"Oh, that's the case, if it's good to drink, the national teacher will drink more, we Khitan have a lot of this thing."
"Emperor, the messenger of Southern Chu has come to meet you."
"Announce him in!"
"Yes."
