Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

When Zhao Yan raised her head slightly and looked at him with shining eyes, Gu Xu only felt that it was difficult for him to refuse her request.

"Of course." He pondered for a moment before responding.

Zhao Yan smiled, threw the long sword into the magic treasure, reached out and tugged at his sleeve: "Did you go to the Fire God Temple today?"

"Yes."

"Have you seen that old guy named Chong Li?"

"Yeah." Gu Xu nodded.

"What did he say to you? Did he mention me in your presence?"

"He wants me to persuade you to agree to Zhao Yu's marriage proposal."

"Sure enough, it's exactly what I guessed," Zhao Yan sighed softly, "This old guy has been talking about his pure blood all day long, like a farmer who breeds pigs."

Hearing her metaphor, Gu Xu couldn't help laughing.

"Are you in a hurry to go back to practice now?" Zhao Yan was silent for a moment, and then said, "If you are not in a hurry, have a drink with me."

"You know, I'm not well enough to drink."

"Then you drink tea, and I drink. After I inherit this country, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have the opportunity to indulge again."

"OK then."

In the past, no matter how great the temptation was, Gu Xu would insist on practicing every day and all night, and would not relax easily.

But today, he has obtained the power of faith that he has accumulated for many years from the altar of Vulcan.

He doesn't lack real energy now, only the way to break through.

As for the method, it does not rely on hard work behind closed doors, but the epiphany of letting nature take its course.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he agreed to Zhao Yan's request.

This young woman will soon become the monarch of this country, shouldering heavy responsibilities - it is conceivable that she must be under tremendous pressure at this moment.

"Qiuyan, serve tea!"

Hearing Gu Xu's reply, Zhao Yan immediately instructed the maid at the corner.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qiuyan got up from the guqin and briskly ran to the table on the other side of the house.

It turned out that the sonorous and powerful frontier qin music just now was played by this humble little maid.

Afterwards, Zhao Yan led Gu Xu to a bamboo mat by the window, and the two sat side by side on the floor.

Through the windows here, one can just have a panoramic view of the garden at the back of the palace, and when one looks up, one can just see the rising silver-white moon.

The Zhao family seems to be fond of spirits.

After the jug was served, the smell of wine quickly overwhelmed the aroma of tea and filled the whole room.

Zhao Yan picked up the jug, looked at the moonlight sprinkled on the blue bricks through the window with withered flowers, and said softly: "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."

Gu Xu was stunned for a moment.

But he quickly realized that in this world, there is no such thing as "the moonlight is so beautiful" equal to "I love you".

Zhao Yan should simply be admiring the scenery outside the window.

"Yeah," he responded.

Zhao Yan chuckled, and with a rather heroic gesture, gulped down a big gulp of spirits into her mouth.

Her fair cheeks quickly turned red, as bright and moving as the sunset glow in the sky.

However, Zhao Yan seems to be far less able to drink than her father.

After drinking half a jug of wine, her eyes lost focus, her vision became blurred, and her body became limp.

【Longevity begins with slaying demons】【】

She shook her head a few times, then tilted to the side, leaning on Gu Xu's shoulder.

Gu Xu sat quietly on the spot, motionless.

He thought that Zhao Yan had encountered too many changes in her life recently, and she really needed to take a good rest.

At this moment, Zhao Yan's beautiful face, which looks like a fairy but not a fairy, and a demon is not a demon, is very close to him, her long and dense eyelashes are trembling slightly, the breath from Honglan's delicate lips is light, and the fragrance on her body is bursting. Attack.

Further down, through her slightly opened collar, one can glimpse majestic and majestic snow-capped mountains and narrow and deep ravines.

Gu Xu immediately shifted his gaze out of the window, not daring to look any further.

But the two were too close, the soft touch and warm body temperature were continuously transmitted through the silk clothes.

Gu Xu has to admit that getting along with Zhao Yan and getting along with Shi Xiaohan are two completely different feelings.

Shi Xiaohan is petite and slender, with a simple mind like a child, it is difficult for people to have evil thoughts, and he only wants to take care of her in the palm of his hand.

Zhao Yan, who has long breasts, thighs, and a figure comparable to a model, is a fairy who charms all living beings—as long as she is not in a state of fighting, her body exudes a strong hormonal aura all the time.

Gu Xu silently recited the "Pure Heart Mantra" twice, trying to keep himself calm, and then began to think about the improvement of exercises, the power of incense, and the deception of ascension...

After about an hour, Zhao Yan finally woke up leisurely.

She touched her head first, straightened her slightly messy temple hair, and said, "It's so hard."

Then she turned her head and looked at Gu Xu: "You are too thin, it hurts my head, I have to find a way to make you fatter."

Gu Xu shrugged.

He refrained from saying, your head is too heavy, it makes my shoulders sore.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe I should go back."

"Go back so early?" Zhao Yandai frowned slightly, "You still have half a cup of tea left!"

"I really have to go back," Gu Xu stood up abruptly, "I learned a lot in the Fire God Temple today. I have to go back and digest it."

"A genius like you still needs to spend time digesting knowledge?" Zhao Yan crossed her arms around her chest and looked at him with squinted eyes. "I thought you could understand it just by looking at it."

"Your Highness really overestimated me."

After Gu Xu left these words, he hurried away from the room filled with incense like a rabbit.

He felt that if he continued to stay here, he would lose control of himself.

Zhao Yan sat on the mat, looked at his "fleeing" back, and shook her head slightly.

"What a log." She hummed softly.

Although Zhao Yan has never had any experience in love, she often haunts brothel dance houses and learned a lot of ways to deal with men.

The literati and dignitaries of the Qi Dynasty all liked to be arty.

They are not like ordinary people who go to kilns, and when they meet, they will burn firewood and get straight to the point.

When they come to the brothel, they all like to listen to some qin music, watch some songs and dances, recite a few lines of poetry, and then drink some good wine.

【Longevity begins with slaying demons】【】

Zhao Yan grew up on horseback since she was a child. She didn't like the melodious sounds and enchanting dances, so she chose the sassy and sharp sword dance.

She was not good at reciting poems and composing Fu, so she dragged Gu Xu to the window to watch the moon.

Her drinking capacity is actually not bad at all, the drunken state just now was completely faked.

However, Gu Xu, the wood, seemed to be unmoved at all.

Without saying or doing anything else, he actually refused to even reach out and hug her.

"Could it be that he only likes short, skinny, immature little girls?"

Zhao Yan lowered her head, looked at her plump breasts, and felt that it was too difficult for her to pretend to be tender.

…………

at the same time.

When Gu Xu accompanied Zhao Yan to drink and admire the moon by the window, Zhao Changying's younger brother Zhao Changqi and his son Zhao Yu were having a secret conversation under the dim candlelight.

"Zhao Yan has returned to Jicheng."

"In addition to herself, she was surrounded by a masked, unidentified guest."

"This person caused an astonishing commotion in the Fire God Temple. Chong Li seems to have obeyed him."

"Zhao Yan seems to have a very close relationship with him. She actually allowed this man to grab her arm."

"Zhao Changying also summoned this person and talked with him in the room for a long time."

"Father, who do you think this person is?" Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at his father sitting across the table.

"If there is no accident, it should be the fugitive who was wanted by the whole country of the Daqi court—Gu Xu," Zhao Changqi thought for a moment, and then responded, "Princess Zhaoning once secretly wrote to me, claiming that Gu Xu will definitely go in the direction of Dayan." Fleeing for his life to seek the asylum of Zhao Changying.

"Besides, I also learned from information that on the day of the 'Luoshui Conference', Gu Xu stayed with Zhao Yan for a long period of time.

"The two of them should have a good friendship. Gu Xu was able to escape from the territory of Daqi smoothly, most likely because of Zhao Yan's help."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "Father, do you think there will be adultery between the two of them?"

"I'm also worried about this," Zhao Changqi sighed, "Now, our father and son's succession order in Dayan is exactly behind Zhao Yan.

"If you marry Zhao Yan, then your heir will become the new heir.

"If Zhao Yan still persists in her lifelong celibacy and infertility as before, then after her death, Dayan's crown will also fall on you and me.

"Of course, as members of the Zhao family, we all obeyed the precepts of our ancestors and made an oath in front of the Vulcan altar that blood relatives of the same clan would not kill each other, so we couldn't let Zhao Yan go to see Lord Yan in advance.

"However, if she is still ignorant, we can use Da Qi's knife to get rid of her.

"The crown and the beauty, you have to have one or the other."

Zhao Yu nodded with a smile, deeply agreeing with his father's words.

"But," Zhao Changqi paused at this point, and changed the subject, "Once Zhao Yan chooses that boy named 'Gu Xu' and makes him the husband of Dayan, then we will be in an extremely difficult situation." Passive situation.

"The child born by the two of them will replace us and become Dayan's first successor in the future. Our lineage will become farther and farther away from Dayan's power center.

"In addition, Chongli is obedient to Gu Xu and obeys orders. The alliance we established with Chongli before will also be terminated.

The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years!It’s really easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

"From now on, Gu Xu will hold Dayan's royal and religious power, the common people will worship him, and Zhao Yan will give him full support - until then, we will not know whether the country's surname is Gu or Zhao. "

Zhao Yu's expression was calm at first.

But when his father began to seriously analyze the various disadvantages of "Gu Xu and Zhao Yan marrying each other", his complexion gradually turned livid, and his teeth were gritted.

Zhao Yu is not as keen on power as his father.

In fact, he thinks that ruling the country is a very troublesome thing. It needs to review documents all day long, understand the national conditions, and it takes a lot of brains to distinguish loyalty from traitors and judge truth from falsehood.

Where is the joy of drinking and having fun?
He just didn't like to see that his cousin who planned to marry him actually fell in love with someone else.

When he was still young, he had already regarded this cousin, who was just showing her beauty, as his own private property.

One of his favorite things to do is to try every means to bully her and scare her, to watch her cry but have no strength to resist.

Later, as Zhao Yan gradually became an outstanding beauty, Zhao Yu's desire to get her became stronger, and the thoughts in his mind were dirtier than toilets.

Especially when he recently learned to use some fresh "instruments of torture" in the kiln, he often laughs excitedly while fantasizing like a psychopath.

Those women in the kiln, with shackles on their ankles, red marks on their snowy skin, and tears in their eyes, knelt down in front of him begging for mercy.

What a beautiful picture it would be if their faces were replaced by Zhao Yan's shameful face.

Although he can't beat Zhao Yan now.

But Zhao Yu firmly believes that after marrying Zhao Yan, she will obey her own words like other women who obey their husbands.

"Then what should we do?" Undecided, Zhao Yu asked his father decisively, "We must not let Zhao Yan marry Gu Xu."

"It's very simple," Zhao Changqi thought for a while, and replied, "We still have to rely on Daqi's power—we will inform Princess Zhaoning of Gu Xu's whereabouts. Princess Zhaoning will send someone to deal with him."

"But my uncle is a veritable 'True Monarch'." Zhao Yu shook his legs uneasily on the seat, "If my uncle is determined to protect Gu Xu, then the person sent by Princess Zhaoning should It's hard to deal with him."

"If the Daqi court wants to kill Zhao Yan, then even if Zhao Changying is risking his life, he must do everything possible to keep her," Zhao Changqi said with a meaningful smile on his face, "but Gu Xu is just a man with him An outsider who is neither relative nor relative.

"In this precarious country of Great Yan, maybe as long as Princess Zhaoning promises him some favorable conditions, such as recognizing the independence of Great Yan and guaranteeing ten years of peace between Yan and Qi, he will hand over Gu Xu to him. Great Qi court.

"After all, this involves the stability of his daughter's future!"

"Just do as you say, father!" Zhao Yu slapped his thigh violently.After hearing his father's solution, he immediately felt a lot better.

…………

After the discussion, Zhao Yu left the secret room and came to the courtyard of the mansion.

The cold moonlight poured down on the ground, making the atmosphere in the courtyard cold and deserted.

"Meow-"

Suddenly, a few soft meows broke the silence of the night.

Zhao Yu frowned, showing an irritable expression.

"Yu Yuan?"

"Master, I am here."

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid came hurriedly from the house, knelt down in front of Zhao Yu with a "plop", lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.

This maid is wearing a translucent thin silk dress.

Through the clothes, one could see her still young body and the obvious bruises on her skin.

"The meowing of these cats is really disturbing." Zhao Yu said calmly.

"Young Master calm down, this servant will drive them away—"

"—Idiot," Zhao Yu kicked her in the abdomen, "You drove them away today, what if they come back tomorrow?"

"Then... then young master, what do you think I should do?" The maid Yu Yuan had tears in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly, obviously Zhao Yu kicked her very painfully.But she didn't dare to reach out to cover her stomach, let alone snort.

"Go get some food, mix some poison in it, and scatter it in the yard. Those wild cats that no one wants are all hungry."

"Yes, sir."
