instant youth

Liu Ming was anxious about his senior brother's situation, so he pulled himself together and drove the horse all the way, and finally arrived in Jincheng in the evening of the fourth day.

Jincheng was originally a big city in the state of Wei, where many survivors of the old Wei lived.The current ruler, An Suwu, is also the young prince of the old guard, and he manages it with great care, so the people in this city are not as miserable as in other places, and they have a peaceful and comfortable sense of belonging.

Liu Ming led the horse and walked silently on the streets of Jincheng, looking at the surrounding scenery with a very complicated expression.

He remembered that he had been here many years ago.At that time, he was well-clothed, well-fed and distinguished, sitting in a gorgeous and noble jade chariot, looking at the kneeling people on both sides.

At that time, his father pointed to those dark heads, stroked his beard and smiled at him: "My son, these people will be your subjects in the future, you must always remember that it is your lifelong right to let them look up to you."

At that time, he was sitting upright beside his father with a small body, nodding seriously.His mother was beside him, hugging him lovingly, enjoying this supreme honor with him and his father.

Liu Ming squinted his eyes, and unknowingly walked in front of a tall mansion.

He raised his head, looked at the plaque hanging high above it, and recalled in a daze that the jade chariot was also parked here, and the old Rui Wang, his whole family and all the officials of Jincheng who greeted him kowtowed and knelt down to welcome him.The boy who was a few years older than himself was also among them.It's just that he secretly raised his head uncomfortably, and looked straight at himself with those dark and inexplicable eyes.

That boy is the current King Rui---An Suwu.

Brother Wu, what exactly do you want to do?

Feng Qing watched Liu Ming coming to Prince Rui's Mansion familiarly after entering the city, and couldn't help but wonder if he recognized it?Seeing that he was silent for a long time in front of the palace, he was afraid of arousing suspicion, so he waited for a while and asked softly: "Liu Ming, do you know this person in the palace?"

Liu Ming came back to his senses, and said lightly: "I don't know." He walked past the door while leading the horse.

Feng Feng followed him: "We have arrived in Jincheng now, what are you going to do?"

"Housing."

"Huh?" Fengfeng didn't respond a little.

"You can't sleep on the street." Liu Ming said calmly.

The style is speechless.He really couldn't figure out what the boy was thinking.

The two found an inn to stay temporarily, and Liu Ming seemed to have acquiesced in Feng Feng's behavior of following him all the time. He didn't deliberately send him away or make things difficult for him. Instead, he took the initiative to buy him clothes and food, and even gave him a few taels of silver pocket money.

Holding the silver, Feng Feng's expression changed, and the corners of his eyes twitched, as if he was trying his best to endure something.He shivered for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "What does this mean?"

Liu Ming asked in surprise, "Have you never had pocket money?"

Feng Feng roared: "Of course! Hasn't this young master ever spent money? I'm asking you, who do you think I am? Do you have pity on me?"

Liu Ming frowned, and said old-fashionedly: "You child, why are you so ignorant. I have something to do in Jincheng, how can I take you with me all the time. You are penniless, so I can give you a few taels of silver so that I can go there when I am not around." Go downstairs to eat something, or wander around the street at will, there is no pity for you."

He glanced at Feng Feng again, snorted, and said, "Besides, how can you be pitiful? Seeing that you are stronger than me, taller than me, and your clothes are not worse than mine, do you need to be pitiful?"

Feng Feng is angry and shy, although he is easy to put on, but you can see his neck and ears are flushed.

He couldn't say Liu Ming, he hesitated for a while, and said: "You bought these for me... I, I don't want to take them for nothing..." He suddenly straightened his back and said, "Also, I'm not a child, you You're only a few years older than me. Ah, no, I should be older than you."

Liu Ming didn't argue with him, and said: "I'm going out to do some business, you don't want to follow. Either rest in the room, or go around the city by yourself." Then he turned his head and left the room.

Fengfeng fell down on the bed in a rage, and muttered: "If I don't go, I won't go, I will follow you." But after lying down for a while, he turned over and sat up again, looking back and forth with the few taels of silver in his hand.

To be honest, no one really gave him pocket money before, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and he felt a little weird.

After thinking for a while, Feng Feng carefully stuffed the few taels of silver into his bosom, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

Liu Ming didn't dare to attract suspicion, so he just circled around Prince Rui's Mansion.After inquiring in the city again, knowing that King Rui hadn't come back, he couldn't help frowning.

Ordinarily, it is only a few days' journey from that small village to Jincheng, even if you walk slowly on the road, you should arrive by now.

Could it be an accident?Or is An Suwu not planning to come back at all?

No, it won't.His roots are here, and he is so close to the village that he won't go anywhere else.What's more...he tried everything possible to arrest his brother, it must be to lure himself.And everyone knows that Jincheng is his hometown, and the only way to attract others to find him is to come back here.

Liu Ming's guess was correct.In the evening, he was guarding in the alley opposite Rui Wang's mansion, and saw An Suwu's close confidant Bai Jingyun came back.

Liu Ming had sneaked into Prince Rui's Mansion three months ago in order to save his senior brother, but was discovered and injured by Bai Jingyun.He knew that this man was very skilled in martial arts, and he was no match for him. If he hadn't used poison, he might not be able to escape that day.With this person around, the possibility of rescuing the senior brother by himself is even smaller.Moreover, Liu Yizhou was pregnant at this time, even if they were rescued, they might not be able to run far.

Liu Ming sighed.It seems that there is no other option but that.

At night Liu Ming returned to the inn, opened the door and walked into the room, he couldn't help being stunned.I saw Feng Feng fell asleep lying on the table, and there were meals on the table.

Liu Ming paused, feeling a little moved in his heart, walked over to push Fengqing: "Hey, I'm up."

Feng Feng fell into a drowsy sleep and was not at ease.Liu Ming had already noticed it when he walked in, but he felt very relieved when he recognized his footsteps, and he still lay there and didn't want to get up.But at this moment, being swayed so vigorously by Liu Ming, he had to rub his eyes and get up, saying, "You're back."

He probably just took a bath, and he has already taken off his disguise and returned to his original appearance, with black hair draped behind his back, and his clothes are very casual and cool.

Liu Ming knew that he was good-looking, but now seeing his lazy appearance, adult body matched with a young man's heart, there is a kind of freshness and beauty like a hibiscus blooming, he couldn't help being stunned.

Feng Feng smiled brightly at him, and said considerately: "I've been out for a day, so I'm tired. I ordered dinner, and we'll have it together when you come back." Thinking about it, she shouted: "Oh, the food is cold, I'll order it Let them warm up."

Liu Ming held him down: "No need. That's it."

After the two had eaten, they said coquettishly, "Do you want to take a bath? I'll call Xiao Er to prepare hot water." He spent a few days with Liu Ming day and night, knowing that he always likes to be clean, so he asked graciously.

Liu Ming looked at the sky: "It's too late, don't call someone, I'll go by myself."

Feng Feng said: "You rest, I'll go." Said and hurried out of the room.

Liu Ming was a little strange about his hospitality.But he was so preoccupied that he didn't think much about it. He just thought about his plans for tomorrow.

Feng Feng excitedly ran to the kitchen, and called the boy on duty to help him boil water.While burning, he touched the things in his arms and laughed.

It was something he saw by accident while wandering the street in the afternoon, and it was very strange.He thought that Liu Ming had been depressed and worried about his senior brother recently, so he bought it specially to make him happy.

Wait for Liu Ming to take a shower later, give him this thing, let him have fun, even if he forgets about that senior brother for a while, it would be good.

Feng Feng thought about it this way, and for some reason she was looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the room with the hot water that had been boiled, he saw that Liu Ming had already fallen asleep on the bed.

Feng Feng knew that he had been on the road these days, and he didn't rest after arriving at the inn. He was probably exhausted after staying outside for a whole day.I had no choice but to gently put the hot water aside, tiptoe over by myself, and gently cover him with the quilt.

Liu Ming has also become familiar with the aura of amorous feelings these days, and didn't respond to his approach, but instead called out in a daze: "Senior brother..."

Looking at his tired and haggard handsome face, Feng Feng suddenly feels a little jealous.

That Liu Yizhou, is that good?

The next day Liu Ming got up very early.He looked at Feng Feng wrapped up in a ball on the floor, and his heart was a little complicated.

To be honest, as a white feather in Lingyin Valley, he still has the heart of a doctor and his parents.What's more, after saving people to the end, Qingfeng followed him for several days, eating and sleeping all the way, somewhat emotional.Liu Ming would feel a little bit sorry if he left people behind without saying a word.But thinking about my brother...

Liu Ming no longer hesitated, flicked his fingers, and a puff of smoke flew towards Feng Feng.

Soon affected by the effect of the medicine, Feng Feng fell into a deeper sleep.Liu Ming picked him up and put him on the bed, and pulled the quilt over him.After thinking about it, he went to the desk, studied ink and prepared paper, and wrote him a letter.A few more ingots of silver were left behind, and they were carefully placed by the pillow with the letter.

After finishing all this, Liu Ming didn't go through the door, but jumped out of the window lightly, and left the inn without a trace.

The sky is still a little hazy, not yet fully transparent.

Liu Ming quietly guarded in the corner of Prince Rui's Mansion, and only about half an hour later, the sound of horseshoes sounded from the other side of the street.

Liu Ming saw that team of people gradually approaching the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion.The gorgeous and heavy carriage door opened, and one person stepped out.

He has a tall and strong figure, a handsome and majestic appearance, and a calm and domineering temperament.It was An Suwu himself.

An Suwu said something to the people behind, a guard opened the door, carried another person from the carriage, and walked into the palace.

Liu Ming's heart tightened.Although he couldn't see the face of the person who was taken away clearly, it should be his senior brother without a doubt.Did An Suwu drug him?Why is he so weak that he has to be hugged by the guards?

The security of Prince Rui's Mansion is very tight, Liu Ming had already lost confidence in breaking through once last time, not to mention Bai Jingyun was still there.He has never seen An Suwu make a move, but he knows that An Suwu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts skills are very good when he was young, and he must be even better now.

Liu Ming was anxious in his heart, but his face gradually calmed down. He stepped forward slowly, and under the watchful eyes of the guards at the door, he knocked on the door.

"Liu Yizhou, how do you feel when you come back here?" An Suwu sat on the chair, looking at the gray and weak person on the bed.

The man seemed to be torn apart, his body was limp and tight, he was half leaning against the head of the bed, but his body was still falling limply.

He raised his eyes slightly, and there was a dead silence in his dark eyes.

"Aren't you talking?" An Suwu picked up the medicine bowl on the table and said, "Do you know what kind of medicine this is?"

Liu Yizhou's eyebrows twitched slightly, his hands were powerlessly covering his stomach, but he still didn't speak.

An Suwu sighed, approached slowly, stretched out his hand to press on his swollen belly. "It's almost five months? It should be moving. Wouldn't it be a pity to destroy it now?"

Liu Yizhou closed his eyes.

Ansu Wu softly said: "Look, we used to love each other back then. Even in this bedroom, you once gave birth to a child for me. Where did the child go? Did it die? Or was it thrown away by you?"

Liu Yizhou trembled all over, as if even the fetus in the womb felt the torture of the mother's body, trembling slightly.

An Suwu felt it, pressed his palm lightly, and sighed: "Oh, it's really moving."

"Uh──" Liu Yizhou whispered, trying hard to push his hands on his stomach, but his hands were limp and powerless, in vain.

An Suwu smiled slightly: "I still feel distressed. I don't know if this child is a boy or a girl? Sigh...it's a pity for my child."

"You..." Unlimited pain and resentment surged, Liu Yizhou opened his blood-red eyes, seemingly filled with infinite anger.

An Suwu moved his hand expressionlessly, raised the medicine bowl closer, and said calmly, "Drink it, or tell me?"

Liu Yizhou trembled slightly, stared at him for a while, then suddenly closed his eyes desperately.

An Suwu frowned: "Do you think that if you don't tell me, I won't be able to find out the person who rescued you that day? He once broke into Prince Rui's mansion, don't you know? That young man's martial arts is not high, not Jingyun's." Opponent. Your master will not come to save you, that old bastard, I will let him die without a place to bury him!" The last sentence was utterly ruthless, with all the killing intent.

Liu Yizhou's whole body strength had been exhausted, but he could smell his disrespect and murderous intent towards his master, so he still clenched his fingertips and grasped the corner of the quilt with all his strength.

Gathering his strength, he said intermittently: "An...Suwu, if you have any grudges, you can come to me. Why... are you so aggressive and difficult for my teacher?"

An Suwu's eyes were burning with fire, but his face was extremely calm, every word and every word was as cold as ice: "At that time, the Kingdom of Wei was about to collapse, and King Cheng of Wei and King Chongming formed an alliance to guard Wudu together. One hundred thousand frontier troops arrived, and they could break Jian State's army under the city. However, Jian State sent assassins to assassinate King Chongming in Wudu.

"King Cheng couldn't do anything, so he ordered people to take the prince away overnight. He only hoped to meet my father, King Rui's army, and save the blood of the royal family. However, Jian Guo is mean and shameless, and sent assassins to hunt down and kill a six-year-old boy. Wait for me When my father arrived, King Cheng had already died, and the bodies of many guards and pursuers were left behind Wunu Mountain, but the crown prince was nowhere to be found.”

An Suwu approached Liu Yizhou, his eyes were hot and sharp like electricity: "Liu Yizhou, do you know who the assassin sent by Jian Guo is? Do you know, where is my prince brother?"

Liu Yizhou trembled all over, looking bewildered.An Suwu didn't touch him, but he seemed to have a heavy weight, making him breathless.

An Suwu stared at him closely, and finally saw that he was getting weaker and weaker, and his breath was inch by inch, as if it was full of despair.

An Suwu smiled, and brought the medicine bowl closer to his lips: "You should drink it. You Maya people are born with sin, and you are born with sin. There are people like you in the world, it's really disgusting!"

Liu Yizhou struggled hard, whimpering, but he forced his mouth and nose down, stuffed the medicine bowl to his mouth, unable to utter a word.

"Drink it!" An Suwu yelled sharply, and was about to force the medicine into his mouth.

Suddenly someone outside the door urgently reported: "My lord, there is someone outside the door who claims to be a survivor of the Wei Kingdom and wants to see the lord."

An Su's martial arts hand paused: "Weiguo survivors?"

"Yes. The man has a token in his hand, please see it, my lord."

Liu Yizhou took advantage of Ansuwu's stupefied effort to struggle hard, spilling most of the medicine bowl from his lips.

Seeing that the medicine juice was not enough, An Suwu looked at him, and said coldly: "Forget it. I will feed you the medicine myself after I have finished with the important matters." After speaking, he threw away the medicine bowl and walked away.

Liu Yizhou leaned against the bed and coughed loudly, the fetus in his womb was stirring, making his face even more pale.With a hazy look on his face, he seemed to have returned to that day 12 years ago.

That day Wucheng was in chaos, the city gate was broken, there were fleeing people and fighting soldiers everywhere, and the fire spread high in the sky of the palace.The last emperor of the Wei Kingdom had turned into a charred corpse.

He didn't find what he was looking for in the palace, so he followed the blood trail all the way, and found the Prince of Wei surrounded by the corpses of many big inner guards behind Wunu Mountain.

The child was covered in blood, and fell more than ten feet away with a big inner eunuch.The eunuch's bones were broken, and his internal organs were ruptured. He thought he fought with all his might and killed the general who was chasing them, but he fell to the ground and died without walking far while holding the prince.

He pulled the prince out from under the eunuch.The child was still alive, dying, opened his eyes slightly, smiled softly to himself, and said softly: "You are late... what you are looking for... is gone..."

He never knew that a six-year-old child could have such eyes.

"You all want... Father, give it to me... I, I won't give it to anyone... You, none of you will get it. Hehe..."

His laughter was delicate and crisp, seemingly infinitely innocent, but with a chill that could not be ignored.He suddenly coughed violently, blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, but he was still smiling.

"I'm going to die...you, you can't save me...so, I won't say..." He pulled that innocent smile, but his eyes were cold, not cold like a child, like a child who has been silent for thousands of years The evil ghost came slowly with a monstrous hatred and chill.

"Whoever destroys my David will die a terrible death!"

When he uttered these words, his small head hung down, his small body was stained with blood, and there was still a shocking smile on his noble and delicate face.

That six-year-old child is the subjugated prince of the Wei Kingdom——An Xinming.

The overwhelming pain suddenly hit, Liu Yizhou woke up from his sleep, covered his chest and coughed loudly.

In the heart-piercing severe cough, there were traces of blood.The young servant guarding the door hurried in, helped him up skillfully, and helped him caress his chest along the acupoints.After his cough stopped for a while, he quickly went outside to bring in the decocted medicine and feed him.

"Mr. Liu, are you feeling better?"

Liu Yizhou nodded with difficulty.

The boy said: "You sleep a little longer, call me if you feel unwell. Doctor Yao will come to check your pulse in the morning."

Liu Yizhou nodded, and lay down again. In the scorching summer, he had to be covered with a warm brocade quilt.

Ever since An Suwu wanted to force him to take abortion pills that day, but was called away temporarily, he never entered his room again for more than half a month.A few days ago, he suddenly asked someone to take him to another hospital, sent a servant to serve him, and prepared a lot of anti-abortion medicine for him to take.

This change of attitude made Liu Yizhou feel uneasy.At this time, his gong power was exhausted, and he was injured too badly, his body was like a rag doll, riddled with holes, really vulnerable to a single blow.With his current body, it's just a dream to give birth to a child safely, and it's not certain whether he can guarantee it or not.

But the child was saved after all.Liu Yizhou knew a little about the properties of medicines, and knew that Doctor Yao had prescribed them for miscarriage these days, so although he was puzzled, he still drank them all.

He didn't know what An Suwu's plan was, but as long as he could keep the flesh and blood in his belly, he could endure anything.

That day when An Suwu was called out, his mind was a little fuzzy, and he couldn't hear clearly, only faintly heard the words "survivors of the Wei Kingdom".

Who is it?Who is the self-proclaimed survivor of the defending country?Ming'er...could it be his Ming'er?

No, no!Ming'er has long forgotten her past.He was just a child who grew up in Lingyin Valley, followed his surname, and grew up beside him.

Why did An Suwu suddenly change his mind?

Liu Yizhou was physically and mentally exhausted, he thought for a long while, but in the end he couldn't beat the weakness of his body, and fell into a drowsy sleep.The thin limbs of the adult man were out of proportion to the bulging belly of the pregnant woman, and it seemed strangely inconsistent.

Seeing that he was fast asleep, the servant who waited on him yawned and went out.Dr. Yao came in with the medicine box, saw him yawning profusely, and asked, "How is that man doing today?"

The boy rubbed his eyes, and said, "It took half the night again, and I just fell asleep now. Doctor Yao, you can go later. I will call you when he wakes up."

Dr. Yao frowned, and said to himself, "Is it still not improving?"

The boy sneered, and said, "It's really weird for a man to give birth. I saw his belly getting bigger day by day, and his hairs were standing on end. He looks like a monster."

Dr. Yao said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's a matter of course that Maya men can have children, there's nothing weird about it."

The boy took a step closer and said in a low voice: "Doctor Yao, do you think the child in his belly belongs to the prince?"

Dr. Yao glared at him, "How could we possibly know such a thing."

"Then why did your lord let us serve him like this?"

"My lord has his own arrangements, so don't talk too much."

The boy curled his lips and said suddenly, "Then you are also a Maya?"

Dr. Yao was taken aback: "Of course I am not. Since the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty 200 years ago, the world has been in chaos, and the Maya people have almost been extinct. The person named Liu in it is probably one of the few Maya people left." .”

"It can be seen that you are quite familiar with his symptoms. I thought you had given birth before." The boy rubbed his nose.

Dr. Yao was angry: "You bastard! I never gave birth to it. That's because he gave birth to... ahem, I'm a doctor, so I know more than you."

The boy narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked curiously, "What did he give birth to? Isn't he the first child, did he have one before?"

Dr. Yao said impatiently, "Why are you talking so much? Get out and don't bother me."

The boy was thrown out by him, curling his lips in disdain. "What, isn't it just a male pet? Is there something to hide. Hmph!"

He turned out of the corridor and walked towards the kitchen, thinking about what Dr. Yao said, his eyes narrowed.Maya... Oh, it's really interesting.

"When will you let me see him?"

"Hehe, what are you doing in such a hurry. How about it, Minger, did you think of anything today?"

"It's still the same." Liu Ming sat in the small pavilion in the garden, looking at the back garden full of flowers.

An Suwu sat beside him, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't force yourself if you can't remember it. Anyway, there is plenty of time."

Liu Ming frowned: "Don't forget what you promised."

An Suwu said lightly: "Don't worry, I won't slip my words. In a few days, I will take you to see him."

Liu Ming glanced at him and stopped talking.

The development of things was somewhat beyond his expectation.When he came to ask for an interview that day, he did not expect that it would be like this.

That day Liu Ming came to him as a survivor of the Wei Kingdom, and he didn't have any tokens in his hand, only a night pearl that he picked up casually with his senior brother in the cave at the back of Wunu Mountain during the martial arts conference.

The royal family of the Wei State has a habit. All royal belongings, no matter what kind of gold, silver and jewelry, as long as they are sealed in the treasury, they must leave the seal of the Wei State.That Ye Mingzhu was not big, but it did have a small "Wei" character engraved on it, which is enough to explain its origin.

An Suwu is a survivor of the royal family of the Wei Kingdom, so he naturally knows this rule.Seeing this thing, he immediately called Liu Ming in.

Liu Ming had already made all the preparations at that time, no matter An Suwu planned to imprison him, interrogate him, extort a confession, or negotiate with soft words, he had already prepared countermeasures.But no matter what, he never expected such a result.

When An Suwu saw him, he didn't speak for a long time, but kept staring at him closely.

This time was too long, Liu Ming gradually became uneasy, and finally broke the silence: "Prince Rui..."

An Suwu interrupted him: "Open your left sleeve and show me."

Liu Ming was taken aback.

An Suwu approached slowly, came in front of him, looked at him without blinking, and said in a deep voice, "Open your sleeves."

Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and slowly lifted the sleeve of his left hand.

An Suwu watched carefully, suddenly his complexion changed slightly, and he remained motionless.

Liu Ming was also observing him, and found that his expression was different, and his heart skipped a beat, not knowing what went wrong.After waiting for a long time, he said, "My lord, what's wrong with my left hand?"

An Suwu looked up at him, his eyes were distant and bottomless.He said slowly, "No. Nothing wrong."

Liu Ming frowned.Ansu Wudao: "You said your name is Liu Ming, and you are Liu Yizhou's junior brother?"

"That's right. I wonder if the lord can tell me the whereabouts of my brother?"

An Suwu said lightly: "Your own brother, how does this king know?"

Liu Ming smiled slightly: "You don't speak dark words in front of Ming people. The prince abducted my brother, why don't you know his whereabouts?"

"You can't talk nonsense, how do you know it's me?"

Liu Ming straightened his sleeves carelessly, and said: "My lord, I said it, you don't speak dark words in front of Ming people, so why don't you admit it? The village, the fire, dozens of people died. You think there is no trace to find ?”

An Suwu looked at him: "You were the one who took Liu Yizhou away in the cave that day!"

Liu Ming smiled again, with black hair and green clothes, calm and calm, looking very elegant and handsome: "So what if you are? So what if you are not?"

An Suwu also smiled: "What if I don't tell you?"

"Doesn't your lord want to know the secret of Wunu Mountain? Isn't your lord curious about the origin of that night pearl?"
