Fu Shifeng

Chapter 188 Flowers bloom in the world
After Yuan Feijun took his seat, they drank a few rounds. Seeing that Cheng Sanwu was in a good mood, he asked:
"One thing I don't understand is that there are many foreign envoys living in Luoyang, and among them the Japanese and Silla are the most numerous. Why is it that the envoy from the Bohai Kingdom was assassinated?"

Cheng Sanwu opened his mouth and ate a piece of tangerine fed by Mrs. Dan, and even held the opponent's slender finger in his mouth slightly provocatively, making Mrs. Dan Xiafei's cheeks and snicker.

"As I said just now, the imperial court wants to support the establishment of great arts, so who can't bear it?" Cheng Sanwu asked.

"The current King of Bohai County?"

"That's right!" Cheng Sanwu said matter-of-factly: "The assassin was sent by him. I'm afraid this matter isn't over yet!"

"Why did Mr. Zhaoyang say this?"

Cheng Sanwu changed his position and simply lay on the couch with his head resting on Mrs. Dan's thigh, while Jie Yuniang took off his black leather boots and enjoyed the beauty's service.

"Think about it, this great master went to Daxia as an envoy in the early years, and was favored by the king for a long time. Later he returned to Bohai Kingdom, hoping that he could fight for a high position so that we can control it." Cheng San said with a beaming look: "The result is this He didn't want to send troops to the Blackwater Tribe, he was chased by his brother, the Prince, and he finally escaped to Daxia, and he followed the Saint all the way eastward, so he must have complained a lot."

Changqing also discovered the opportunity and deliberately guided him: "More than that, it is said that Damen Yi came to Luoyang in the early years of Shenlong. After careful calculation, he may have already met the current saint, and Damen Yi was sent back to Bohai by the saint."

"You see, this relationship is not ordinary." Cheng Sanwu said: "So when Damen Yi was assassinated and the news was reported back to Chang'an, the saint must order a strict investigation. If the protection is not complete, there are still assassins and accomplices wandering around!"

"Are there any accomplices?" Yuan Feijun looked slightly shocked.

"So, you are smart enough to come to us when you know something is going on." Cheng Sanwu pointed at Yuan Feijun and said with a smile: "If there is a big prison, your Jinping sect will only be ineffective in restraining the martial arts colleagues. , then he will be severely punished."

Yuan Feijun pretended to be puzzled: "Is there any danger in this...? Please make it clear to Lord Zhaoyang!"

"Do you know the origin of that assassin?" Cheng Sanwu asked with a smile.

Yuan Feijun looked surprised: "Aren't you from Bohai Country?"

"He is a master of Baiqiao Village in Cangzhou, Hebei!" Cheng Sanwu said with a serious face: "This guy has received favors from King Wuyi. Our Internal Affairs Ministry has sent people to Hebei overnight. We must capture all his family members. !”

The more Yuan Feijun asked, the more frightened he became, but the other party knew that he was from the Jinping sect but did not arrest him, which meant that they did not know the whole truth yet.

"Ah? How could people from Hebei Wulin get involved in this matter?" Yuan Feijun wanted to test.

"Only the devil knows!" Cheng Sanwu reached out and patted Mrs. Dan's buttocks.

Chang Qing then added: "I'm afraid this matter has serious implications."

"Ask him how much Mr. Lu knows." Cheng Sanwu said with a smile.

Yuan Feijun knew something about Changqing's identity and heard what he said: "You should have heard the news that Hongfan Academy moved to Chang'an last year. This matter seems calm, but in fact there is an undercurrent."

At this time, not only Yuan Feijun, but also the other four flower essences also listened attentively to Changqing's story: "Hongfan Academy is the first in the inheritance of martial arts in the Central Plains, and most of its disciples are from Shandong noble families. Although the East China Sea Saint heard that the Master was boating on the waves, , Hongfan Academy was leaderless, but no one would doubt that the literati who graduated from Hongfan Academy almost represented the atmosphere of Shandong scholars and the literary world.

"But at the same time, Hongfan Academy also has a high prestige in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. Confucian disciples who are studying in many places also regard Hongfan Academy as their leader. Even if they have no Confucian training, they can gather together and communicate with each other. It’s also a common situation in the world.”

"I understand." The cute Yu Ming shook her little head: "The saint is worried that Hongfan Academy is too powerful. If one day he raises his arms, not only Shandong heroes will respond, but also Confucian scholars and scholars will participate. in."

Changqing's face changed slightly. What he just said was just nonsense. It was almost a fabrication of accusations out of thin air. Zhao Teng's assassination had nothing to do with Hongfan Academy or the Hebei gentry. He was just trying to lure Yuan Fei. Jun just took the bait.

On the other hand, this flower essence named Yu Ming spoke freely and directly pierced through Chang Qing's hidden words.

Hearing this, Yuan Feijun suddenly realized: "It turns out there is such an important implication behind this murder case!"

"So the assassin is currently in the dungeon, and we will wait to see when he will be sent back to Chang'an for interrogation to reveal the real mastermind behind him." Cheng Sanwu finally said this, and he waved his hands impatiently: "Anyway, interrogate these with torture. It's not my responsibility to take care of the trouble. When the order comes, I'll probably go around arresting people again."

Yuan Feijun was overjoyed, but pretended to be nonchalant as he raised his glass and toasted: "Jun Zhaoyang, thank you for your hard work in serving the country!"

"When you work for the imperial court, you don't dare to complain." Cheng Sanwu said with a smile: "It would be great if everyone from the Jinping sect was as considerate as your Jinping sect. It would make us feel much more at ease when doing errands."

"It should, it should." Yuan Feijun was eager to report the news, looked up outside, and exclaimed softly: "Oh, it's getting dark, so I won't bother you anymore."

Cheng Sanwu stood up and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Yuan Feijun looked around the Tingxiang Pavilion with a profound meaning in his smile: "Jun Zhaoyang has a beautiful woman to keep him company. If I don't stay here any longer, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the scenery?"

Cheng Sanwu smiled lightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, just don't worry about the Jinping Sect. Remember to leave someone at the gambling house in Jishanfang. When the matter is settled, I will send someone to inform you."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhaoyang!" Yuan Feijun bowed deeply and immediately left.

After Yuan Feijun left, Cheng Sanwu let out a long breath, fell into Mrs. Dan's arms again, and cursed: "I'm so exhausted, I won't do this kind of work again next time."

Mrs. Dan guessed that Cheng Sanwu was planning to deal with Yuan Feijun, but the purpose was unclear for a while, so she pressed her fingers on his temples and rubbed them gently: "Cheng Langjun is busy with official duties, and he can't even come to Guoseyuan." Rest.”

"I can't help it. The job of a chamberlain is not done by humans. There are no holidays at all. I have to get up in the middle of the night even if I say something." Cheng Sanwu stretched his waist.

Chang Qing smiled and said nothing. He could now be sure that Yuan Feijun used Song Sheng to come and cause trouble, so that he could get close to Cheng Sanwu and test the next move of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.And they followed their plan and released the news that Zhao Teng was taken to Chang'an, and then waited for the Jinping faction and He Xiaotong to get into the net themselves.

"Mr. Cheng, are you tired?" Jie Yuniang tapped Cheng Sanwu's legs and asked softly, "How about we rest here for one night?"

"That's fine." Cheng Sanwu yawned, pointed at Changqing and said, "You guys should take care of him too." Mrs. Dan helped the drunken Cheng Sanwu and said softly: "Yu Ming, Qiong Ying, you guys It’s a pleasure to entertain Mr. Lu.”

The two of them nodded in agreement. Changqing wanted to leave, but Cheng Sanwu looked drunk and left Tingxiangxuan with the help of Madam Dan and Xie Yuniang.

"Mr. Lu, it's getting late, do you want to take a shower and change clothes?" Yu Ming looks like a pretty girl, but her words are surprisingly bold.

Changqing asked calmly: "Can you play Go?"

Yu Ming and Qiong Yingzi looked at each other, nodded and said, "Of course I will. If Mr. Lu likes it, I will get the chess equipment right away."

"Go." Changqing said in a sullen tone. If he were to have fun, it would be hand-to-hand games, which were the best test of his mind.

Fortunately, compared to Mrs. Dan and Xie Yuniang, Yuming and Qiong Yingzi did not seem to be able to use sex with others. They each played a game of chess with Changqing, but were both defeated by Changqing.

"None of you have tried your best." Seeing Qiong Yingzi surrendering, Changqing twisted the sunspots in her hands, her mood waned, and she looked out at the lake filled with cold moonlight. Listening to the gentle sound of waves, her mind calmed down, no longer as before. So restrictive.

"Friend Lu Dao is a guest and should be treated with courtesy." Opposite the chess table, Qiong Yingzi sat upright, his expression as cold as ever.

Changqing saw the other party's tone and demeanor, as well as the hidden Qi energy around him, and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder who Taoist friend Qiong Yingzi studied under?"

Qiong Yingzi did not hide anything: "I was fortunate enough to listen to Grandmaster Wang Yuanzhi's lecture on the first chapter of Su Ling. I dare not claim to be Grandmaster Wang's disciple."

Changqing nodded slightly. Grandmaster Wang Yuanzhi of the Shangqing Dynasty traveled from the south of the Yangtze River to Luoyang in the late years of the previous dynasty. In addition to promoting the spread of Shangqing Taoism to the north, he also served as a representative of the Taoist sect to build momentum for Taizu Taizu of Great Xia.

Thinking of this, Changqing suddenly thought of Fu Shifeng and Wang Yuanzhi, as the master of the Shangqing Dynasty, could he be one of them?
But even if it is, I am afraid that there is no way to verify it now, and there are many Taoist masters who come to the forum to give lectures and recruit disciples to teach. Obviously, not everyone is related to Fu Shifeng.

"I see that you are living in Guoseyuan. It doesn't look like you have fallen into the dust." Changqing looked at the two people in front of him.

Qiong Yingzi obviously didn't like this question, so she closed her eyes and avoided answering.Yu Ming held her face in her hands, narrowed her eyes into a pair of crescent moons, and said with a smile: "Master Lu, why do you think we have fallen into prostitution? Is it because we are showing off our beauty?"

"Isn't it?" Changqing was puzzled.

"Young master Lu is proficient in Taoism. He must be able to tell that we are all flowers and trees." Yu Ming did not show any anger at all. The expression on her face was sweet and serious. She looked younger than Chang Qing, but her tone was like that of a neighbor. The elder sister teaches the younger brother:
"Hundred flowers are appreciated by the world. Based on this alone, all the flowers in the world are just showing off their beauty. This is our practice, rather than occupying the National Color Garden just for the nourishment of the spiritual energy of the blessed land. On the contrary, how do you know that you are here? Aren’t the people here looking for fun and pleasure the material for our cultivation?”

Hearing the word "qualification", Changqing frowned, and Yuming quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh, it's not that kind of qualification. Although there are some sisters who like that bite, after a hundred years, everyone wants to taste it. They have all tasted it, and ordinary people are nothing more than this.

"For us, the real treasure is precisely the various conditions in the world. People who come to Guoseyuan to have fun have all kinds of desires that are extremely blazing and unabashedly displayed. Through this, we can traverse the joys, sorrows, joys, and sorrows of all living beings. Whatever you want.”

Chang Qing asked: "But people who come to Guoseyuan have filthy desires in their hearts. Do you also regard them as spiritual qualifications?"

"Have Mr. Lu ever planted flowers?" Yu Ming asked back: "If there is no excrement to drown and nourish, how can flowers bloom? The world is sinking into the river, so we use it to prove ourselves, and finally transcend and achieve purity. dye."

Changqing was speechless when he heard the words. Yuming's words were very Taoist and Zen-like. The other party's realm was obviously much higher than his own.

"But...hehe, this kind of practice is not that easy." Yu Ming rolled his eyes: "Even if you experience the joys, sorrows, love, and hate of all living beings, it is only the joys, sorrows, loves, and hates of others after all. If you step into it yourself, you will be in trouble. A major pass, a big disaster. Right now, there are people who are deeply caught in a disaster, and I’m afraid it will be difficult for them to survive.”

"Who?" Changqing asked.

"Ms. Dan." Yu Ming smiled and said, "Ms. Dan is not only the oiran of the peony garden, but also the first of all flowers in our National Color Garden and the king of all the flowers."

Although she knew it was inappropriate to ask this question, Changqing couldn't help but wonder: "Why...why did she fall into disaster? Is it because of Cheng Sanwu?"

"Cheng Sanwu, is this Zhaoyang Jun's real name?" Yuming covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How stupid, just like a country boy."

"He was indeed born in the countryside." Chang Qing didn't feel unusual about this. He once heard Cheng Sanwu mention that after escaping from Fu Shifeng's seal, he stumbled all the way to the border of Heyang and passed out from exhaustion in the mountains and countryside. Fortunately, he was taken in by the villagers.Later, he naturally followed that family's surname. As for this name, it was entirely due to the initial encounter on the fifth day of March and had no special meaning.

Hearing this answer, Yu Ming thought thoughtfully, then brought the tea cup, and asked like a little sister: "Master Lu is the Qilin'er of the Lu Xiang family, and he has all the true stories of the Fu Zang Palace, how can he talk to this country?" Are you from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications?"

"It's a coincidence." Changqing was slightly surprised: "Do you know my identity?"

"Guoseyuan has dignitaries and dignitaries coming and going every day, so it is naturally well-informed." Yuming smiled and said: "And the Terma Palace has a good reputation. Qiong Yingzi has long wanted to visit it."

The cold female crown picked up the fly whisk and swept it lightly, sitting straight and saying: "The "Yinfu Tianji Lun" passed down by the Fu Zang Palace is indeed unique and mysterious."

Now that Changqing has been taught by Master Wen, he actually vaguely knows that "Yinfu Tianji Lun" can be interpreted in a more advanced way, but the master's interpretation is too focused on the study of military victory.

"Why do you want to listen to "Yinfu Tianji Lun"?" Changqing was puzzled. The flower essences of Guoseyuan seemed to be incompatible with the study of victory by strong soldiers.

"There are not only ordinary people who covet our beauty, but also many evil people." Qiong Yingzi responded simply: "We have no intention of harming others, but we must be prepared to guard against others. Therefore, we want to build a dojo in Guoseyuan. , set up a maze of barriers to ward off foreign enemies."

Changqing nodded slightly. Only now did he understand that these flower essences in Guoseyuan were by no means weak women who relied solely on the powerful. They also had their own plans for life.

"Since I'm here, it's fate, and you don't have to travel back and forth." Chang Qing said: "I've left a formation enchantment for you to refer to. How much you can understand depends on you. .”

Qiong Yingzi's eyes shone slightly, she stood up, bowed deeply, and then said, "I'm here to grind ink for my fellow Taoist."
