Chapter 3 Opportunity
According to the current calendar, it should be the tenth year of the Han calendar. It has been so long since the Sun family fled overseas. This gave Sun Shangxiang a sense of strangeness when he set foot on this land again.
Along the way, she followed her master Yu Ji from the southeast coastal area to Luoyang. What she saw and heard almost made her feel like she was in another world.
Looking at the smiles on the faces of ordinary people, Sun Shangxiang occasionally thought to herself: Do the people under the rule of my Sun family live such a happy life? But she would soon put this thought aside, because this time
Come here, it has nothing to do with any righteousness or the world, it's just because of hatred.
There has been no news about her eldest brother since he was arrested by the court. She can definitely come to the conclusion that even if he is not dead, he is still living a life worse than death.
Sun Shangxiang had heard many descriptions of the emperor's character in the market. Although she still had a vague idea of Liu Xuan's appearance in her mind, she was certain of one thing: he was a very cruel guy who could anger her because of his ministers.
, he killed the minister.
And he is even more ruthless towards those who rebel against him. Killing the whole family is already the lightest. Most of them kill the nine tribes. This method of killing the nine tribes is also famous all over the world because of Liu Xuan, but this name is not the same.
It's just not a good reputation.
"We have arrived in Luoyang, and now we have to rely on ourselves..."
After arriving in Luoyang, Yu Ji said these words lightly, and then glanced at Sun Shangxiang as if he had something to give, but in the end he still said nothing, turned around and left, disappearing into the sea of people in a moment.
Sun Shangxiang felt confused for a moment when she saw Yu Ji's disappearing back, but soon she reaffirmed her belief: "The Immortal has helped a lot, we can't rely on the Immortal for everything!"
For so many years, Yu Ji has been teaching the Sun family and the group of civil and military personnel who follow the Sun family. Among them, Sun Shangxiang almost grew up under Yu Ji's watch, and Sun Shangxiang also regards Yu Ji as his master. However, Yu Ji has never formally accepted him.
As a disciple, Sun Shangxiang thought it was because she was a girl at first, but later she didn't think it was the same.
Because Yu Ji praised her talent more than once, and when she encountered any difficulties, Yu Ji would also guide her with all her heart until she really understood.
This kind of behavior is probably not matched by many real masters, so Sun Shangxiang has long considered Yu Ji as his master.
It's just that she never imagined that her master was not from the same family as her Sun family. This... maybe she had no hope of knowing it in her life.
After arriving in Luoyang, Sun Shangxiang did not act rashly. She also knew that the emperor Liu Xuan was actually a cultivator - although she did not know how powerful Liu Xuan was - not to mention that the palace was heavily guarded and she wanted to rely on her alone.
Breaking in with all your strength? That’s just a dream.
Sun Shangxiang may be a little reckless, but she is definitely not a fool. To assassinate Liu Xuan is a very troublesome and time-consuming task. What she has to do now is to live honestly in Luoyang City and then look for a suitable person.
Chance……
After Yu Ji arrived in Luoyang, he made sure that Sun Shangxiang was not following him and went directly to Chenliu Prince's Mansion. He had been living in Chenliu Prince's Mansion and Hongnong Prince's Mansion. Shi Daoren, who was nearby to guide Liu Xuan's two younger brothers, met this original
Taoist friends who want to support the Sun family.
It's just that compared to decades ago, the status of the two of them had changed a lot when they met this time.
Originally, Shi Daoren was just a fairly powerful immortal, but compared to top masters like Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, he could only stand aside.
But look now? Yu Ji chose the wrong person, but he made the most correct decision in his life. Not only has his status changed, but even his cultivation is no longer the upper hand.
"In just twenty years, my fellow Taoist's cultivation has advanced so fast that I am truly amazed!"
Shi Daoren smiled and looked extremely happy: "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to worry about this. As long as you don't make wrong choices anymore, you can also get everything that the poor Taoist enjoys!"
Yu Ji smiled, this was also the reason why he kicked the Sun family aside and chose to reconcile with the emperor today.
In the final analysis, for cultivators like them, all the world and righteousness are nonsense, and all they care about is the immortal way - or in other words, eternal and endless lifespan and boundless power.
Maybe for ordinary people, it is impossible to meet the requirements of these immortals, but for Liu Xuan, it is not a problem. He has enough means to do all this.
When Yu Ji came this time, he had already given Shi Tao Ren some things, including some of the things he had promised at the beginning. He also taught Shi Tao Ren some techniques so that Shi Tao Ren could help Yu Ji resolve the problems he had left after he went astray in his cultivation.
Many hidden wounds.
After solving the hidden injury, Yu Ji can also get a detailed explanation of the cultivation path from Shi Daoren. If he is willing to stay, then Liu Xuan will even provide Yu Ji with the skills and items needed for cultivation. If he wants to
It would not be difficult for Liu Xuan to leave him - anyway, Master Zixu, who had taken refuge in Shu, did not defect to Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan did not do anything to Master Zixu.
To put it bluntly, if you don't come to fight against me, then whatever you do will get you. But if you want to fight against me, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
Yu Ji is a smart man and has so many benefits, so he made a very right choice - dependence!
That is to say, just like Shi Daoren, he defected to the imperial court, but he didn't need to do anything at ordinary times. The emperor would provide him with the necessary accommodation, and he only had to contribute when needed.
"How about building a Taoist temple in Luoyang City? How about you and I practicing in the temple?"
"Very good!"
The matter was directly reported to Liu Xuan, and Liu Xuan certainly had no reason to disapprove. Anyway, Luoyang City is now expanding very hugely, and only ten years is not enough to move a large number of people to directly fill up Luoyang City. Therefore, now
There are still many empty spaces in Luoyang City, so it is not difficult to choose a quiet place to build a Taoist temple.
Just because of the bad taste in my heart, I casually named that Taoist temple: Wuzhuang Temple!
Huang Yueying happened to be nearby, and looked at Liu Xuan's casual mention with a burst of contempt: "How about planting fruit trees in the backyard of the Taoist temple, and then they will bloom every three thousand years, bear fruit every three thousand years, and mature every three thousand years?"
At first he was just making a few mocking remarks, but unexpectedly Liu Xuan's eyes lit up: "What a great idea! It's just taking so long, and I don't know when I'll get the food!"
Huang Yueying rolled her eyes and lay back on the bed again. The white sheets only covered the key points. The slender and beautiful wheat-colored legs and shoulders with perfect arcs were exposed. Liu Xuan stretched out his hand again.
After getting addicted for a while, Huang Yueying rolled her eyes.
Yesterday, she was caught by the palace maid sent by Liu Xuan for no apparent reason, and was thrown into the pool to clean herself up. When she came to her senses, she was thrown in front of Liu Xuan.
Even if she is a fool, she should understand what this means, not to mention this girl is very smart.
Although she had been prepared for this day, it was one thing to think about it mentally, but it was another thing completely when it came to this moment, and she even almost cried.
"It shouldn't be like this!"
At this time, she finally understood that this was what she had to say for the rest of her life. As for Liu Xuan? For him, this was something he should have done a long time ago. As for what kind of guilt he felt? Just kidding, he wouldn't feel that way!
"As an emperor, that's what you should do. You can do whatever you want!"
After eating all of Huang Yueying into his stomach, it was considered that he had settled his worries. The satisfied Liu Xuan did not let the girl go. Instead, he stayed with Huang Yueying for ten days in a row, euphemistically called: cultivating feelings.
!
It was the same today. I looked back and kissed her shoulder gently. I don't know if it was caused by the skills she taught me. Huang Yueying actually maintained her wheat-like complexion, and her whole body actually exuded...
After a while, I smelled a candied body fragrance, which actually added a lot of fun.
"snort!"
"Huh? Are you arrogant?"
"..."
After joking for a while, Huang Yueying sat up directly: "By the way, how are you going to deal with that Sun Shangxiang?"
"How do you think I would deal with her?"
Huang Yueying looked up and down for a while. Perhaps because the two of them had a deeper communication, she became more open-minded towards Liu Xuan: "I think Sister Shangxiang will be captured by a villain like you and brought to the palace like this.
Like that, that kind of thing..."
Liu Xuan looked at the movements on Huang Yueying's hands and was speechless: "Do I look like that kind of person?"
Huang Yueying did not speak, but turned her head and looked at the marks on her shoulders, and her reaction gave a very clear answer.
Liu Xuan lamented that his image was completely ruined and at the same time expressed his plan: "What else can I do? Of course I will kill him!"
As soon as these words came out, Huang Yueying's face was full of disbelief: "Beautiful female assassin...powerful so-and-so...I believe you are also familiar with how this plot will develop next!"
"Humph! It's a pity that I don't have the interest to raise a woman who wants to kill me at any time in my own home!" Even if Liu Xuan has confidence in his own strength, he can't just think about himself. He is not the only one in the palace.
If Sun Shangxiang caused trouble every now and then, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
What's more, he doesn't think he has time to make a woman who hates him change her mind and fall in love with him instead.
"Besides, I'm not a veteran of flowers, and I have no interest in conquering any difficult goals!"
He stood up, put on his clothes neatly under the service of the palace maid, and then turned around and told Huang Yueying: "If you don't believe it, you can go with me. It's time to deal with that girl!"
Sun Shangxiang has been under strict surveillance by Liu Xuan since he entered Luoyang City. This time he wanted to take the initiative to leave the palace and create an opportunity for Sun Shangxiang to assassinate him.
What I didn't expect was that while monitoring Sun Shangxiang, I also discovered another group of people who also had evil intentions towards the emperor. The purpose of this group of people was the same as that of Sun Shangxiang, and neither group knew the existence of the other.
Everyone is making their own preparations.
"It's really interesting. I just took this opportunity to clean it up!"
Huang Yueying didn't know so many thoughts in Liu Xuan's mind. After getting up and dressing neatly, she followed Liu Xuan and walked out of the palace.
The only thing that surprised her was that Liu Xuan didn't bring the Tiger Guard with him when he went out today, and he didn't ask Dian Wei or Xu Chu to go with him. Instead, he called a weird man who was wrapped in black armor and even his face was covered.
Attendant beside you.
Apart from this person, there is only Cao Bao, the eunuch who serves as his personal attendant, and he doesn’t even have any ordinary bodyguards with him. What kind of trouble is this?
"Is this what you mean by creating opportunities?"
"yes!"
Liu Xuan saw Huang Yueying's expression of 'you are really messing around' and explained a little: "The Tiger Guards have already laid an ambush outside. This time we just pretended to be plain clothes and went out for the trip!"
It turned out that this was the case. Huang Yueying just shut up and didn't say anything. However, the man in black armor not far away made her feel very uncomfortable. Plus, she was curious in her heart, so she asked one more question: "This man?"
who is it?"
"You'll find out soon."
