instant youth

Liu Ming's whole body trembled, suddenly his hands and feet went limp, and his whole body was icy cold.

After so many years in Lingyin Valley, it is impossible for him not to know the rules and foundation in the valley.Maybe it was because the senior brother wanted to save his life, or maybe the master was out of some kind of defensiveness, he was left behind, and he didn't remember anything before the age of six.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was senior brother, then master, second senior brother, senior uncle Duanmu...

At that time, there was no pain, no hatred in his world, only the simple and beautiful life in the valley.However, he is extremely talented in medical skills and intelligent. At the age of nine, he independently made the antidote for Wangchen.At that time, he was young, competitive, bold and inexplicable, he did not know the seriousness, and secretly used himself to conduct experiments to check the properties of the medicine, but he unknowingly unraveled the forgetful dust on his body.

He slowly remembered what happened in the past, but he didn't tell anyone.A nine-year-old child, recalling the past life and nightmares, but can keep his mouth shut and not show his face, such scheming even Liu Ming himself finds it terrifying.

Later, he stayed in the valley for a long time, and gradually learned about the affairs in the valley, and also knew what the senior and second senior brothers did every time they went out of the valley, but he never doubted it.No, there may have been doubts and confusions, but I just didn't dare to think about it, but now An Suwu suddenly said it, so clearly pointing to the secret, he had to be shocked, bewildered, panicked and helpless.

"What evidence do you have..." Liu Ming felt that his voice was light.

An Suwu smiled coldly: "You can check the evidence yourself."

With these words, Liu Ming felt powerless.

Hei Yu of Lingyin Valley takes assassination as his mission.The Maya people were persecuted by the royal family and noble officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and almost exterminated their clan.After the collapse of the Great Zhou royal family, there were many kingdoms, most of which were established by the former ministers of the Great Zhou.The Maya people can be said to have a bloody enmity with them.

Why was he rescued by his senior brother by such a coincidence back then?At that time, when the senior brother left the valley, he must have been carrying out Hei Yu's assassination mission.And the person he assassinated... Who was it?

Everyone thought Feng Qing and Liu Yizhou who were still hiding in Jinzhou City had indeed fled outside the city.

Knowing that they thought that Liu Yizhou's body would not be able to travel far and must be hidden in the city, Fengqing went the other way. On the day he escaped from the other courtyard, he made Liu Yizhou into a groom and himself a housekeeper, under the name of Chen's mansion. In name, he left Jinzhou City slowly.

The Chen Mansion is a hidden stake of the Shenming Sect, and it is the most hidden hidden stake that is unknown to people.The master of the Chen family is fat and burly, so he especially likes this kind of strong and rich servant.He had just hired a new groom a month ago. He was in his forties, tall and tall. Because he was addicted to alcohol, he had a very large general belly, which ruined his good figure for nothing.

Recently, due to the rainy summer, there are many droughts and floods in the village outside the city. Master Chen is very worried and often sends the housekeeper out of the city to investigate.Therefore, the guards at the city gate are used to sitting in the small carriage of the Chen residence, with a tall and thin butler with an expressionless face, not good at speaking, and a little bit of talking, and at the same time, sitting in a daze all day long with a drink in his hand. The heavy, big-bellied and burly coachman staggers out of the city in the morning, and then slowly enters the city in the evening.

So that day, when Chen's carriage left the city as usual, the guards didn't even bother to take a look, and waved them away.

The carriage gradually drove out of the official road, walked onto a sparsely populated path, then drove slowly towards the countryside, and finally stopped in a dense forest.

The tall and thin butler jumped out of the car, supported the driver beside him, and said in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

The coachman smelled of alcohol all over his body, his hazy eyes suddenly became clear, and he said in a low voice, "It's all right."

The butler smiled and said, "I know you are pregnant and you shouldn't drink alcohol, but now it's cheap, so I have to work hard on you."

The coachman also smiled: "It's just a few sips, the rest is spilled on the clothes, it's okay."

The housekeeper helped him get out of the car slowly, and gestured to the forest.Two burly figures rushed out, they were the real housekeeper and coachman of the Chen residence.

The two of them often went in and out of the city gate on weekdays, and the gatekeepers were familiar with them.So on the first day, he changed his clothes and disguised himself, and sneaked out of the city ahead of time.Looking at them now, the butler seemed to be a few inches shorter, the general belly of the coachman miraculously disappeared, and the ones who swaggered out of the city today were naturally Feng Feng and Liu Yizhou.

After changing clothes with them, the driver got lucky and the general's belly bulged back again, he said with a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect my bone shrinking skill to be used on my big belly one day. It's much easier now."

Feng Feng smiled, and said: "Old Zhao, you are very lucky with your belly. I think the bigger your belly, the more skillful you will be."

The coachman straightened his back and said proudly: "Of course. Teach me, sir, don't underestimate my kung fu. Without more than ten years of hard training, I can't achieve success."

"Of course." Fengfeng smiled and praised them a few more words, turned to the topic, and urged: "You guys drive the carriage back as usual in the evening, be careful and wait for my news."

Zhao Laodao: "Young master, don't worry, we know. Everything you want is ready, and in the forest, if you have anything to do, just order it."

Feng Feng nodded and let them go.

Liu Yizhou has been watching from the sidelines, these two people obviously have a lot of background.Let's do it, I'm afraid that I am not an opponent in my prime.

He was secretly trembling, wondering who this style was?I don't know if it's right or wrong to come out with him.

Feng Feng waited for the two of them to go far away, looked back at Liu Yizhou, seemed to know what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't sell you. I'm in danger now, so I rescued you. It’s repaying your life-saving grace. You don’t need to be grateful to me, and you don’t need to be afraid of me. I’ll send you to a safe place, and we’ll settle the matter.”

Liu Yizhou said: "Since I came out with you, I believe you. You don't need to explain."

Feng Feng praised: "As expected of Liu Ming's senior brother, he is indeed so angry."

Liu Yizhou smiled wryly: "I don't know if you are arrogant or not, but my stomach can't take it anymore."

Feng Feng was startled, and hurriedly said: "But the tire is moving? Where is it uncomfortable?"

He knew that Liu Yizhou followed him all the way out of the mansion, and pretended to be a coachman to drive the carriage all morning, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on any longer.

Liu Yizhou supported his already sore back, and said: "It's okay. Let's go quickly. An Suwu is very intelligent, and his subordinate Bai Jingyun is even more scheming. I'm afraid he has already discovered that we have left by now."

"Okay. Come with me." Fengfeng held him by the arm, raised his energy, and led him to the dense forest.In the depths of the woods was parked a stable and compact carriage, complete with everything.

Fengqing drove Liu Yizhou northward, because Liu Yizhou was inconvenient and couldn't hurry, so it took him more than [-] days to enter the territory of Ming Kingdom.

Feng Feng originally wanted to settle him properly and go back to find Liu Ming, but some unexpected situations happened, which stopped him in his footsteps. When he got news from Liu Ming again, he realized that he had gone to Wucheng with King Rui .

Liu Ming was leaning comfortably in King Rui's carriage, reading leisurely with a book in his hand, his long hair was neatly tied into a male hairpin, the rest of his hair was hanging down docilely along his back, and his wide sleeves were relaxed and comfortable. Swaying slightly with the movement of his arms.

King Rui sat opposite him drinking tea, but couldn't stop staring at him, suddenly smiled lightly, and said: "Brother Ming can hold his breath, do you really think I can't find Liu Yizhou?"

Liu Ming said indifferently: "Liu Yizhou was of no importance to you in the first place. You only wanted to find him because you wanted him to hold me hostage. You are a majestic King Rui, but you are so low-handed. I am really disappointed."

King Rui smiled: "It seems that Liu Yizhou's escape is good. I didn't expect you to admit your identity once he was out of my control."

Liu Ming put down the book in his hand, looked at An Suwu lightly, his eyes were gloomy: "Gu is originally the prince of Wei, why don't you dare to admit it. Speaking of which, you are Gu's cousin, and you got along with each other when you were young. How much should you know about Gu's temperament. The more you blackmail Gu with your senior brother, the less Gu will be able to do what you want. Now that senior brother has escaped from your cage, Gu can do whatever he wants."

An Suwu clapped his hands and praised: "It's better to be a piece of jade than a tile! This is my Ming brother! This is the prince of our country!"

He suddenly got up and approached Liu Ming, stretched out his hand and gently twisted the black hair on the back of him, breathing on Liu Ming's cheeks, his eyes were dark, but his voice was extremely hoarse and soft: "You are doing this because you want me to give up looking Liu Yizhou. Is he that important to you? An enemy who killed your parents, yet you still protect him at this moment. Brother Ming, brother Ming, how do you face the spirits of the late emperor and empress like this?"

Liu Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed An Suwu's arm, pulling him away from his hair, narrowing his eyes slightly, with a gloomy ruthlessness: "An Suwu, it doesn't matter how you face your father, queen and mother in the future." You worry! Who killed Gu's parents, Gu himself will find out!"

Liu Ming would never hate Liu Yizhou with just a few words from An Suwu, but the seeds of doubt had already been planted, which made him unavoidably irritable.

Ansu Wu loosened his hands and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. The remains of the late emperor and empress were buried by my father and king himself. This time you go to Wucheng, you should go and pay homage."

Liu Ming closed his eyes and leaned against the car wall, without speaking.His slightly frowned brows and pale face made him look a little fragile, but An Suwu knew that this young man was far stronger than he showed.

The prince of Wei who was only six years old back then would rather die than tell the whereabouts of the treasure. He could still smile at the corner of his mouth when he was seriously injured. That trace shocked Liu Yizhou's determination and ruthlessness, and An Suwu also had a deep understanding.

Time seemed to go back to that year, when the five-year-old Crown Prince of Wei Kingdom accompanied the emperor on a tour of Jinzhou, and the royal driver stayed in Ruiwang Mansion.

An Suwu's mother and Queen Wei are twin sisters, so he and Prince An Xinming are both cousins ​​and cousins.Empress Wei doted on the harem after her marriage but was never pregnant. She gave birth to the crown prince An Xinming many years later. One can imagine how much she loves her.

Back then, Empress Wei and Concubine Rui deliberately made the two cousins ​​get closer, and An Suwu was also an only son, so he had a natural brotherly affection for An Xinming.

But An Xinming's arrogance and indifference are not like a five-year-old child.He was extremely indifferent towards An Suwu's closeness, that kind of indifference of the monarch, which made An Suwu, who was only 11 years old and always proud, secretly dissatisfied.

However, he has the self-consciousness of an older brother, and the two of them were originally a monarch and a minister, so An Suwu only slandered the prince's cousin who was young and mature, but his face was very friendly and respectful.

An event happened to change An Suwu's impression of An Xinming.

At that time, the prince had a white furball dog whom he loved very much, nicknamed Xueqiu.This snowball is cute and smart, An Xinming loves it very much, and takes it with him wherever he goes.However, after arriving at Prince Rui's Mansion, Xueqiu's personality was a little irritable, perhaps because he was not acclimatized to the environment, or because he was tired from the bumpy journey.

One day when they were playing in the back garden, An Suwu might have teased Xueqiu anxiously, the little guy rushed towards him screaming, An Suwu subconsciously withdrew his feet to avoid it, but exposed the snowball that was standing behind him. little prince.At that time, An Suwu's heart trembled, and he secretly cried out that it's not good, he actually forgot the first duty of protecting the prince.

At that time, An Xinming didn't pay attention to what An Suwu and Xueqiu were playing. When he realized it, he saw Xueqiu opened his mouth and showed sharp teeth, and rushed towards him.He subconsciously raised his left arm to resist, and was severely bitten by Snowball, bleeding profusely, leaving a small scar.

At that time, An Xinming seemed to be stupefied with fright, staring blankly at the snowball who knew he had made a mistake and huddled into a ball.An Suwu reacted, and immediately called out to the imperial doctor, and took An Xinming back for diagnosis and treatment.

After a lot of chaos, An Xinming sat on the soft couch with his bandaged arms in his arms.King Wei Cheng was furious and wanted to punish all the guards and maids who were present that day.King Rui also pleaded guilty, because An Suwu failed to fulfill his duty to protect the prince, so he asked Wei Chengwang to punish An Suwu as well.

Crown Prince An Xinming is the darling of King Wei Cheng. He has never been injured at all since he was born, but now he was bitten by a beast.Although it was not to the point where the emperor was angry and buried thousands of miles away, King Wei Cheng must have executed those guards that day.An Suwu will also be punished.

An Xinming, who was sitting on the couch at that time, said indifferently: "Father, it was my son who was accidentally bitten by a snowball, and it has nothing to do with Brother Wu. Brother Wu is the son of King Rui, the future pillar of the country, how can you do that?" To punish my future pillars of David for the fault of a brute?"

A five-year-old child can say such a thing, which shows the abundance of his talent.

King Wei Cheng loved the crown prince very much, upon hearing this, he asked, "What does the crown prince want to do?"

An Xinming lowered his eyes, pursed his small mouth, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "Kill Xueqiu, each of the guards will be responsible for twenty sticks, that's all."

An Suwu was kneeling on the ground at that time, very close to An Xinming, he raised his head slightly, and could clearly see a trace of reluctance and sadness flashing across the face of the little prince with his head down.

An Suwu couldn't remember what he was doing when he was five years old.But he believes that at the age of five, he was a carefree, lawless and wanton child.Like what you like, hate what you hate.If I had a beloved pet as cute as a snowball at that time, I would be reluctant to kill it like this.But the five-year-old child in front of him, the Crown Prince of Wei, calmly ordered his beloved pet to be killed.

King Wei Cheng comforted his son: "I will send you some more cute puppies in the future, and I promise they will be more obedient and sensible than Xueqiu."

The prince said softly: "Gu will never keep pets again."

After that incident, An Suwu had an inexplicable feeling towards this prince brother who was six years younger than him.There seems to be awe, admiration, curiosity, inquiry, and an uncontrollable sense of pity.

At that time, An Suwu knew in his heart that An Xinming was the only monarch he recognized!In the future, he is willing to go through fire and water for such a lord, even death!

It was not far from Jinzhou to Wucheng, King Rui and his party were not in a hurry and acted very low-key.When I arrived in Wucheng, several months had passed since the last martial arts conference, and Wucheng seemed to have regained its former calm.

Liu Ming had already guessed what An Suwu did that day.It was a trap, An Suwu opened the mechanism, channeled Wujiang water, and drowned most of the martial arts practitioners in the cave that day.It's just that he kept this matter extremely confidential, and few people knew that the trap for this treasure was set by King Rui from the very beginning.King Rui behaved like a victim, and left angrily with his men who fled in a hurry.

Looking at the old palace, Liu Ming asked, "Why did you attack people in the martial arts world? Only a few people knew about the secret ways and institutions of Weiguo in the past. You think you have done everything perfectly, so you are not afraid of being investigated by someone with a heart. come out?"

An Suwu said lightly: "Without evidence, this king will not admit it."

Liu Ming lowered his eyes: "Heroes use martial arts to break the ban. Do you think martial arts people are an eyesore?"

"At the beginning, King Weicheng and the queen died at the hands of Wulin people. I am not targeting all people in Wulin. It is just that many of those who entered the cave that day were old people related to the destruction of Wucheng city." An Suwu Staring at Liu Ming closely, he said seriously: "You trust me, I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Those people deserve to die!"

Liu Ming said slowly, "I almost died in it too."

An Suwu choked, and said after a while: "I really didn't know you were there too. Brother Ming..."

Liu Ming interrupted him: "What is the relationship between Shenming Cult and what happened back then?"

Because Liu Ming was very low-key around Feng Tianyi and wore a veil all the time, An Suwu didn't notice him, so he didn't know that he was with the leader of Shenming at that time.Hearing him ask at this time, he said: "It doesn't matter. I think the leader of Shenming only got involved in this matter out of curiosity. It's bad luck for him."

Listening to his understatement, Liu Ming knew that he didn't have any sympathy for those who were involved in the accident.In order to kill a few old enemies, it is not uncommon to attract countless people to be buried with them.Liu Ming was born in the imperial family, so he wouldn't regret it, but after all, he had skin-to-skin relationship with Feng Tianyi, and Feng Tianyi treated him pretty well, so he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Seeing that Liu Ming didn't speak, An Suwu thought he was soft-hearted, so he couldn't help chuckling and said, "Brother Ming is sympathizing with those people?"

Liu Ming said indifferently: "Those who covet the treasures of our country of Wei are all greedy people, whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's their own fault."

An Suwu clapped his hands: "Well said! This is my Ming brother! As a superior, one should not have any pity and weakness."

Liu Ming sneered: "Gu has always been hard-hearted, you should have realized it long ago. Don't regret it in the future."

An Suwu looked at him, a frenzied gleam flashed across his face, his tiger eyes were bright, as if he had sworn an oath, he said softly, "I will never regret it."

His heart is getting hotter and hotter.Just looking at the cold boy in front of me, I feel like the blood in my whole body is about to boil.

Liu Ming didn't know that An Suwu's feelings for him were slowly deteriorating.

An Suwu is a very proud and extreme person. When he was young, he volunteered to assist Prince Wei, and he would not change easily. So after all these years of painstaking efforts, after finding out the relationship between the death of King Wei Cheng and Ling Yin After the relationship with Gu, they set up various traps and finally found a chance to get close to Liu Yizhou.

The truth is not as coincidental and unintentional as he told Liu Ming.In fact, he had already found out Liu Yizhou's identity, and he deliberately approached him back then, and tricked Liu Yizhou into his palace in the name of making friends.Moreover, he and Liu Yizhou cannot be said to be "happy in love".One has evil intentions, but the other has been "loved" unknowingly.

This "love seed" is very magical. It is something similar to "gu" that King Rui got from Shu in his early years. He lighted it quietly as a dark incense. The people with the most contacts will have feelings.

At that time, King Rui deliberately pretended to be like Liu Yizhou in temperament, and he was inseparable from him every day.Liu Yizhou is not a person who trusts others easily, but under the influence of "love", he gradually regards Ansu Wu as his confidant, and even falls asleep at night.Coupled with An Suwu's deliberate guidance and temptation, he finally fell in love with him uncontrollably.

This method is very despicable, An Suwu naturally will not tell Liu Ming.

Liu Ming followed An Suwu into the old palace of Weiguo.It is dilapidated and uninhabited for many years.Because it is rumored that this place is haunted, the surrounding area has been deserted.The new city wall of Wucheng also moved eastward for more than ten miles.

"Are we going to live here?" Liu Ming felt uncomfortable.

He didn't want to come back here. Although the imperial palace had long been completely ruined and ruined, it was still very familiar to him who was born here.

The noble and carefree life of childhood has long since left him, and he doesn't want to recall it.

Ansu Wudao: "Don't you like it?"

Liu Ming didn't speak.

An Suwu smiled softly: "Basically all the buildings here were burned down in the fire that year. Only the Feihong Hall behind it can barely accommodate people. It is far away from the main hall, so it escaped the catastrophe. Tonight we will Spend the night there."

Liu Ming walked leisurely among the ruins.He was wearing a white old guard outfit, with wide cuffs and a tight waist, and the pendant pendant below that swayed gently with his steps, giving him a kind of airy air of a young man.It's just that it was dusk at this time, and he walked in the old palace with black hair and white clothes expressionlessly, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of fear.If the timid people read it, they might think that this place is really haunted.

"This used to be the Zhaoyang Palace." Liu Ming pointed to a collapsed ruined palace, and said calmly, "It was the former residence of the empress."

King Rui had been following him to observe his reaction, and said immediately after hearing the words: "Do you want to go and have a look? Maybe you can find the relics of Queen Cheng."

He originally thought that Liu Ming would be shaken and softened when he mentioned Queen Wei, but Liu Ming sneered and said coldly: "What is left here? Even if there are some things left, is it necessary to use those things?" Is it okay to sacrifice broken and lowly things to the pregnant mother?"

King Rui didn't know how to interface for a moment, but looked at Liu Ming with brighter eyes.

Such an aloof and decisive god, as if standing on the top of the sky and looking down on all living beings like ants.This is the person who shakes his heart!

When we came to Feihong Hall, the place barely remained the same as it was more than ten years ago.It's just that the palace has long been dilapidated.

Just now, Bai Jingyun had sent someone over to clean it up. When Liu Ming and An Suwu stepped into the hall, the inside was already brand new. Incense was lit, screens were placed, and bright candles were burning. It was the same as back then, and there were even a few maids dressed as old guard maids standing aside to serve.

An Suwu did it on purpose.He wanted Liu Ming to recall the honor of the past, and rekindle the flame of restoring the country.

However, Liu Ming's eyelashes drooped slightly, and his delicate face was dull, making it hard to see what he was thinking.

However, if he is someone who can be seen through at a glance, then he is not the Prince Wei who was held in the palm of Wei Chengwang since he was a child and carefully taught.

In the service of Zhong Xing Pengyue, Liu Ming ate dinner peacefully, and said lightly: "I'm going to rest, you all step back. King Rui, you can kneel down too." Since An Suwu likes to play memories trick, he followed him.

An Suwu smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, all the serving "ladies" retreated.

Seeing that he stayed, Liu Ming felt vigilant in his heart, frowned slightly, and curled his lips sneeringly.He kept urging himself to restore the country, but he didn't even give him the power of a prince. To put it bluntly, he wanted him to be a puppet.

An Suwu saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming, don't blame me. I will always be your subject, and you will always be my only monarch. But before David returns to the country, I will feel more at ease by my side. "

"It's up to you." Liu Ming got up and entered the bedroom, took off his coat calmly, and got on the bed.

An Suwu lightly blew out the candle, came to the bedside and watched for a while, saw that Liu Ming seemed to be sleeping peacefully with his back facing him, he was silent for a while, then turned around and lay down on a temporary concubine Xiang recliner next to him.

Liu Ming on the bed secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Sometimes he couldn't figure out what An Suwu was thinking.Even though he is the king of Rui, but these days he shares the same car with him, leaving the bed for him every time in the inn, and going to sleep by himself, or meditating all night. Is it really so afraid that he will run away?

Liu Ming faintly felt that An Suwu's gaze on him was getting hotter and weirder.He clutched his chest, thinking of his senior brother who didn't know where he was, he couldn't help praying secretly in his heart, hoping Feng Feng had taken him to a safe place.

I just don't know how my brother is doing now?Is the fetus in the womb safe?
