When the moon was in the sky, Dongchuan Houfu, the courtyard where the prince Lu Jialei lived, there were screams of women one after another, and the terrible voice like a female ghost pierced the sky in the silent night.

A middle-aged man with a big belly came to the courtyard, this person was Dongchuan Hou Lushu, he glanced at the subordinate who was accompanying him and said, "Stand down." ”

The subordinates slowly withdrew from the courtyard, and after everyone withdrew, Lu Shu pushed open Lu Jialei's door and walked in, and as soon as he crossed the threshold with his front foot, he heard his son's roar: "Didn't I order?" No one is allowed to disturb me, do you want to die?! ”

Lu Jialei thought that he was a subordinate of the house again, but he heard his father's majestic voice at the door: "I heard that Cao Yong's daughter came to look for you today, and then you went to Qingzhou City together, and you also went to the street division to overturn the case for the kid who beat you, and when you come back, don't you plan to tell me what is going on?" ”

Hearing this voice, Lu Jialei dropped the whip in his hand, crawled from the bed to the ground, put on a robe in a panic, and ran over quickly.

There was only a delicate and half-naked woman left on the bed, the silk quilt covered her lower body, but the back was full of skin and flesh, full of traces of leather whipping, blood cut through the woman's white and smooth skin, flowing to the bed, but she did not see any movement, even her breathing stopped.

Lu Chu sat on the chair absently, poured himself a glass of wine, he picked up the wine glass, looked at Lu Jialei kneeling at his feet and said, "Say, let me hear what is going on." With that, he took a sip and drank the wine in his glass.

"I saw that my father and Qingzhou officials have been a little unhappy in the past few days, and I don't want you to offend people for this little thing about me, then Cao Yong and Du Mingtang, after all, are the main officials of Qingzhou, I think... I think..."Lu Jialei said weakly, and at the end his voice trembled unconsciously.

Lu Su glanced at him casually and said, "What do you want?" ”

"I think more is better than less, instead of tearing up with those two people, it is better for us to withdraw the complaint, the people above will soon arrive in Qingzhou, those people are here to check the resettlement of the displaced people, Liu Pingshan, the political envoy of the Northwest Province, has always been at odds with Cao Yong, and he will definitely take this opportunity to make a big one with a small one, we might as well withdraw from it first, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, maybe we can find an opportunity to profit from it." Lu Jialei said.

Lu Shupi smiled and said: "Although Wu'er realized a little later, he has also grown up, and he is very comforted by his father's heart. ”

"It's all the result of my father's painstaking cultivation, I only hate my son for being stupid, and in the past he was just blindly greedy for pleasure, and now he repents." Lu Jialei said hurriedly.

Lu Shu touched his head with his hand, but his eyes looked at the woman who had died not long ago on the bed, and said softly: "You are also tired, don't work too hard, let's sleep." ”

After saying that, he didn't look at his son, who was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to move, and walked out with his hands in his hands.

After a long time, Lu Jialei slowly got up, and the cowardice and awe on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a ruthless and hideous face.

······

Caofu Annex.

Wang Ling, who had had dinner, sat on the threshold to watch Dawu and Xiaolinzi wrestling, and every round Dawu would pretend to be invincible and deliberately fall, obviously his acting skills were so rough, but the two of them had a lot of fun, but no matter how they looked, Dawu seemed to be happier than Xiaolinzi.

A goose-yellow light Yaluo skirt came to his side and said softly: "Is this the end?" ”

There is no need to look up, just listening to the voice Wang Ling, he knew that it was Cao Shuangxu, and said with a smile: "How can it be so easy, but I can keep myself stable for a while." ”

The beauty frowned slightly, she knew very well that the real purpose of those people was her father, and Wang Ling was just a small role in their eyes, and his life and death did not affect the overall situation.

"There's one thing in the day that you don't have time to ask, how do you know... Do you know the past of the son Lu Jialei? She was a little embarrassed, her cheeks crimson when she spoke, as if she thought things were too absurd, and her tone was full of shame and curiosity from her heart.

Wang Ling looked at this so-called lady strangely, he didn't expect that such a woman also had a heart to listen to gossip, but for these daughters who obeyed the courtesy, it was difficult to talk to people according to the courtyard gate like a woman in the market.

"I told you during the day, that Mu Zhaoyi, as one of the nine concubines in the emperor's harem, was the outer room raised by Lu Shu before entering the palace, and was born with a low background, but he was born with a good skin, three years ago, he selected show girls from all over the country to enter the palace, and Lu Zhao sent her in order to implant his own power in the palace, but he may not know that his son has already hooked up with this outer room, and that jade wrench is the token of love given to her by Lu Jialei." Wang Lingdao.

This kind of thing of a maid and two husbands is already a big moral impact for Cao Shuangxu, not to mention the father and son, Cao Shuangxu felt ridiculous when he first heard this, and when he heard it again, he still felt ridiculous, and couldn't help but spit lightly: "It's shameless and obscene." ”

Not to mention her, after Wang Ling learned about this at the time, he was also shocked, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart that Dongchuan Hou's father and son had a real game, even if this kind of thing was placed in his original world, it was quite explosive.

After Cao Shuangxu pondered for a long time, she suddenly asked: "After entering the palace, there will be grandmothers who will identify the virginity of the show girls one by one, so how did Mu Guiren hide it?" ”

"He dared to take the crime of bullying the king, he must have been prepared, as for the means, I guess he probably smashed the silver." Wang Lingdao.

Cao Shuangxu said: "Then how did she hide it from the emperor?" ”

Wang Ling's face was a little embarrassed, and he coughed lightly twice: "It is estimated that the day of coming to Kwai Shui was postponed with medicine, and Kwai Shui was used to make that place red, but it may be another way, who knows." ”

Hearing this, Cao Shuangxu's face turned red again, and she scolded lightly: "Phew, you are a dog spitting out ivory from his mouth, full of foul language, and he is really obscene." ”

Wang Ling was speechless, isn't this what you want to ask? I don't have to tell you. But seeing that Miss Cao's face was pink, although her expression was slightly angry and disgusted, it looked particularly moving under the light of the candlelight, and it had a unique charm.

"You... Why are you staring at me like that? Being watched by his fiery eyes, no matter how resolute Cao Shuangxu was, he was a little unbearable.

Realizing that he was indeed a little unscrupulous, Wang Ling retracted his gaze in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile: "It's really Miss Cao who is too beautiful, I'm a man after all, I can't help but look a little distracted, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Cao Shuangxu said shyly: "It's clear that he is a disciple, and he still wants to find some reasons for himself." ”

Wang Ling laughed twice and stopped talking, Cao Shuangxu felt that the atmosphere between herself and him was inexplicably embarrassed, so she wanted to find the topic of Fang Cai to cover up the past, she pretended to be serious and said: "You asked me to go to Dongchuan with that wrench during the day, although I helped you get through the suffering in front of you, but I look at Lu Shizi's words and deeds, I can see that he is the kind of narrow-minded person who will repay him, and he can't say that he will have to trouble you in the future." ”

"Don't worry about what he will do for the time being, Dongchuan Hou Lu Shu doesn't dare to let that woman's past reach the emperor's ears, and Lu Jialei is the same, but he is actually more afraid of passing it to his son Lu Shu, otherwise his position as the son of the world may not be guaranteed." A cold light shot out of Wang Ling's eyes, with this handle in his hand, he couldn't say that he could make good use of it.

Cao Shuangxu felt that he was reasonable, and he didn't worry about it anymore, so he asked again: "What's next?" The imperial mission is coming soon, even if you are over this matter, my father and him... As soon as he got home these days, he locked himself in his study, and he didn't know if he had come up with a way. ”

Wang Ling comforted her and said: "Lord Cao is witty and experienced in officialdom, so there won't be any problems in the future, so don't worry." ”

Cao Shuangxu nodded when she heard this, and then lamented: "I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel that something big will happen in the near future." ”

"Whatever it is, since it's coming, let it come, all we can do is face it and solve it." Wang Lingdao.

Cao Shuangxu hummed softly, and at this time, Cheng Yufang came over with two teas, at this time she had gauze wrapped around each finger, and it seemed that she was struggling to hold the tray.

Cheng Yufang chuckled at the two of them: "Miss, son, tonight is wet and cold and windy again, drink tea to warm up." ”

Cao Shuangxu hurriedly walked over, and while taking the wooden plate dragging the tea cup from her hand, she said with concern: "Sister Yufang, you have just finished taking medicine with this hand, how can you do these jobs?" I'll get it for you. ”

Wang Ling said with a big grin: "That's it, Sister Yufang, just let her do it, she can still afford this little work." ”

Cao Shuangxu glanced at him, his eyes were full of anger, and Wang Ling was so frightened that he shrunk his neck and didn't dare to squeak.

Without waiting for Cheng Yufang to react, the tray was already in Cao Shuangsu's hand, and Cheng Yufang blamed herself: "It's all my incompetence as a subordinate that makes Miss and Childe worry about me." ”

"How can I blame you? If you want to blame this bad guy, if he didn't have to cause such trouble, why would you suffer this? Cao Shuangxu said and kicked Wang Ling's calf.

Wang Ling grinned in pain, and said in his heart, this little girl's feet are really not small, and I don't know how Cao Yong educates her daughter, she is obviously gentle and soft, how can she be such a violent person.

Cheng Yufang hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, no, if there is no son, Lin'er and I are long gone, the son is very kind, our mother and son have nothing to repay, and how dare we blame the son for this little injury." ”

Cao Shuangxu pursed his lips, unwilling to look at Wang Ling's face, Wang Ling smiled proudly: "Little things, small things, it's just a Dongchuan Hou Shizi, even if he Lao Tzu comes, I will be right, maybe I will give him Lao Tzu a time, let him Lu Jialei call me a grandfather to listen." ”

Cheng Yufang was amused by him, and Cao Shuangxu snorted lightly: "You will play tricks, this time it is just a fluke for you, if you are really asked to deal with that Dongchuan Hou, ten or eight royal orders will have to be put in for nothing." ”

was dismantled by her, Wang Ling laughed twice, scratched his face a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute, maybe this Nizi said something again, being demolished is a small matter, and losing face is a big matter, after all, people live with a face, no matter how cheeky he is, it is not good to throw his face on the ground.

There are five people in a courtyard, there are talking and laughing, there are fights and troubles, in Cao Shuangxu's impression, this courtyard has never been so lively, since the death of her mother, she always comes here to remember the deceased mother, at that time, always lonely, only sadness left in this yard, but now it is very different, here began to have vitality, there is warmth.

In the dead of night, Cao Shuangxu and Dawu had already left, Cheng Yufang and Lin Lin's mother and son, both of whom slept in the main house at the strong request of Wang Ling, while he himself was lying in the newly built small house, saying that the house was a little high-looking, this should be placed in the past, at most, it was a kennel that could live for one person, and the total area of less than ten square meters would be enough to put a bed, and no matter how much furniture could not be placed, it would only seem more crowded.

Wang Ling was lying on the bed, the futon was still his original set, he was holding a straw pole pulled from the courtyard in his mouth, he was waiting for someone, the man who said he would teach him to cultivate.

I don't know how long later, Wang Ling was awakened by the sound of a passing watchman, and suddenly noticed a person standing beside him, this person was dressed in black, his face was covered by an iron mask, and he could not see his face, but he could see the essence light from his deep eyes.

"Uncle Rouzhao, you're here." Wang Ling was pleasantly surprised, he sat up from the bed and stared straight at the man.

Rou Zhao ignored him, but looked around, glanced at the humble hut he lived in, and then slowly spoke, "Why did you change your residence here?" ”

Wang Ling said: "Sister Yufang has a child, it is not convenient for them to live in this house, and I like this kind of idle and solitary environment, and it is very interesting." ”

Seeing that Rou Zhao's eyes were confused, Wang Ling asked, "Didn't you build any secret strongholds with your partners when you were a child?" ”

In fact, he also wants to give examples, such as building a house with paper shells and pillows, most of a man's happiness is figured out, but if he says so, he is worried that Rouzhao will not understand.

But after Rou Zhao listened to the secret stronghold he said, the light in his eyes was obviously in a trance, Wang Ling saw the look of remembrance in his eyes, from mild to lonely, his eyes kept changing, knowing that his words evoked Rou Zhao's memories, he naturally revealed the topic in his tone, and chuckled: "By the way, aren't you going to teach me how to cultivate?" I'm ready, let's get started. ”

Rou Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then the look in his eyes returned to normal, he pushed open the door and walked out, and said to Wang Ling: "Wait a minute, you still need to prevent the mother and son in the house from being awakened." After saying that, he came to the door of the main house in an instant, and a wisp of green smoke popped out of his fingertips, and floated into the room in a curling nana, and after a while, the mother and son in the house slept more sweetly, as if they had some sweet dream.

Wang Ling was a little worried: "Is this smoke?" Will there be any after-effects? ”

"Don't worry, this is the magical power I have mastered, called Dream Dust, I just let them have a good dream, and they can wake up after dawn, and it won't hurt them." Rouzhao explained.

After listening, Wang Ling was relieved, and at the same time became interested in this dream dust, he asked: "Can it only make people dream and control the duration of people's sleep?" ”

Rou Zhao said: "You can also kill people in your dreams." ”

Murder in a dream? Wang Ling was shocked, this kind of supernatural power felt extraordinary when he heard it, didn't this mean that as long as Rou Zhao was willing, he could easily take people's lives? If he is allowed to kill Na Dongchuan Hou...... Wang Ling calculated compassionately.

Seeing his strange face, Rou Zhao guessed what he was thinking, so he added: "My supernatural power has three limitations, and it is not as terrifying as you think. ”

Wang Ling was stunned for a moment and asked, "Which three?" ”

"First, those who cultivate above me cannot be exerted, and those who cultivate the same as me may be freed from the dream by them. Second, if I want to kill someone in a dream, I first have to dream in a dream, when my body is defenseless and I am putting myself in danger. These two are limitations unique to supernatural powers, and the third restriction comes from the Heavenly Decree. Jurudo.

It's the Heavenly Decree again, I've heard this man mention it before, and at that time he asked a question about the Heavenly Decree, but Rou Zhao was secretive about it and didn't want to answer.

Wang Ling said tentatively: "What is that Heavenly Decree?" Why is it limiting to you? ”

"I can only tell you that there are ten Heavenly Decrees, namely: Yan Feng, Zhanmeng, Rouzhao, Qiang Yuan, Zhu Yong, Tu Wei, Shangzhang, Chongguang, Xuanhuang, Zhaoyang, each commander of the guilty Changge is counted as a deacon, and the deacon has a total of ten seats, and the meaning of each token is different, but it has the same characteristics, that is, in the case of not threatening life, you can't shoot at officials and princes with more than four grades, otherwise the deacons will be counterattacked by the heavenly decree and die immediately. This is to prevent our Ten Commanders from committing rebellion. Jurudo.

Wang Ling suddenly realized, no wonder Rou Zhao said that he couldn't personally attack Dongchuan Hou before, it turned out to be because of this.

"What's so special about the Heavenly Decree? What does it mean to be a Celebrator? Wang Ling asked.

Unbeknownst to her, Rou Zhao immediately became stingy again, silent and unwilling to answer.

Wang Ling spread his hands and said with an indifferent look: "Okay, okay, since you don't want to say it, forget it, I actually don't have that much curiosity, I just asked casually, so how are you going to teach me now?" ”

"You should..."Rou Zhao paused in his tone, and then said something that Wang Ling couldn't understand: "Resist the beating, right?" ”

"Huh? What does it mean? Wang Ling thought that there was some deep meaning in his words, and just as he was about to ask, he was pressed by Rou Zhaoyi's head, and a huge force pressed him, and the whole person instantly fell to the ground in big characters, half of his face was pressed into the soil, and he ate a big mouthful of mud.

Wang Ling sighed in his mouth and said angrily: "What are you doing?!" ”

As a result, it was not Rou Zhao's explanation that responded to him, but a whistling fist, which smashed Wang Ling's back, almost breaking his spine, Rao was so painful that he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Damn, it's a bully to be a ······! Wang Ling scolded angrily in his heart, slapped his palm on the ground, wanted to turn over and jump up, but he was punched hard in the chest, and the ribs were indeed broken three times, and in an instant, before Wang Ling landed, Rou Zhao burst out and kicked him in the waist, smashing him on the wall, the wall creaked, several cracks spread like cobwebs, Wang Ling fell to the ground, and several pieces of wall skin fell on him, looking embarrassed.

At this time, Wang Ling felt that the internal organs in his body were twisted together like twisted flowers, and he trembled in pain, he stood against the wall with difficulty, and showed a hideous smile at Rou Zhao, at this moment he had been beaten out of his blood.

Wiping away the remaining blood stains from the corners of his mouth, Wang Ling smiled arrogantly: "Is it really my temperless?!" I'm not bad, come on! Lao Tzu fought with you!! ”

After half a pillar of incense, Wang Ling's nose and face were swollen and he lay on the ground, because his whole face had been swollen into a pig's head, so his voice became urn-like, and when he saw Rou Zhao rushing towards him again, he begged for mercy: "I was wrong Uncle Rou Zhao, ah no!" Uncle! Leave me alone, I'll die if I fight any more. ”

Seeing that a fist as big as a sandbag was about to fall on his face, Wang Ling was so frightened that he could only raise his hand to cover it, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement, Wang Ling poked his head out in disbelief, and found that Rou Zhao was standing in front of him with his chest upright, he subconsciously retracted his head, and then realized that the other party did not continue to beat him, so he put down his hand and looked at Rou Zhao with a puzzled face.

But I heard the man joking: "What, wasn't it quite tough just now?" ”

Wang Ling immediately knelt down, kowtowed like garlic and said, "Uncle, if I don't say anything right and offend you, you just scold me, please don't fight." ”

Rou Zhao chuckled, "Get up, the first step has been completed." ”

Well? Well? Well?!!!!

Wang Ling's mind was full of question marks, his heart was shocked and angry, and he almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood, is this helping me cultivate?! Does this also teach me to cultivate?! I feel like I've just seen me, are you sure you didn't have any personal emotions in it?!
