[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

"It should be said that you do have some talent in the art of manipulating power? Those of your subordinates seem to be very loyal to you, loyal to the point of fanaticism." Xun Ying walked into the room and sat down directly. at the table.Liu Fei habitually sat beside her.

"In fact, this has nothing to do with power tactics. It should be attributed to Fan Kuai's ability to make up stories." Liu Bang was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard Lu Zhi say this.

"Oh? What kind of story did Fan Kui make up so that so many people believed it to be true?" Xun Ying showed some interest.

"Before I came to this vast mountainous area with Fan Kuai and others, I met a rare big snake. With the sword you gave me to strengthen my courage, I killed the big snake directly..." Liu Bang described the recent events in detail. Tell Lu Zhi.

This Fan Kuai's ability to make up stories is indeed good, adulterating falsehoods in the truth, and the truth in the falsehood.There is a mixture of truth and falsehood that makes it easy for the uninformed to believe.

It is in his best interest that fewer people know the truth of the story.However, if he can't even trust his family, no matter how much he achieves, it can't change the fact that he himself is a tragedy.

"Your subordinates will believe such a story? I won't believe in any myths when I was five or six years old, okay?" Liu Fei's eyes widened after hearing this.In his opinion, it is ridiculous to believe this so-called son of the Red Emperor so easily.

"That's because the things you've been in contact with are different. Father still believes in physiognomy, so isn't he as smart as you?" Xun Ying stretched out her hand and patted Liu Fei on the head.

The so-called theory of ghosts and gods exists no matter which world they are in.In fact, most worlds do have ghosts and gods.It's just that the way these ghosts and gods exist is different from what ordinary people imagine.Ghosts and gods do not give back to everyone's beliefs as people imagined.

In a sense, they are just stronger people.You can use spells to do things that ordinary people can't do.But they also have their own shackles.

When Xun Ying educated Liu Fei, he didn't deliberately teach him whether to trust the way of ghosts and gods, but he taught him that success depends on people.Over the years, there has been a clear conclusion vaguely in Liu Fei's mind.If you use modern language to describe it, then this Liu Fei is probably a serious 'atheist'.

"Of course not." Liu Fei quickly denied it. He respected Lu Zhi so much, so he was naturally very close to Lu Gong. "In Pei County, everyone doesn't know Peigong's name. Most of the big people praise my grandfather's intelligence. How can he be inferior to me?"

Although Liu Fei is not Lu Zhi's biological child, Lu Zhi has not had a biological child for so many years.In the beginning, Lu Gong and the others kept urging her, and even found her a lot of folk prescriptions. Now they seem to have accepted the fact that Lu Zhi's 'inability to have children', and they even regard Liu Fei as Lu Zhi's own blood. Treat it the same.This Liu Fei was very close to them, which made them feel a little less regretful.

Xun Ying slightly hooked the corners of her lips, and then she looked up at Liu Bang. "This story is not bad, but it can't be relied on too much. Even belief has a time limit."

"Don't worry, Pheasant. I know very well that if you want to win the hearts of your subordinates, the most important thing is to avoid tricks. Others are just small tricks, and it is difficult to enter the hall of elegance." Liu Bang nodded.

Fan Kuai had told him about making up the story beforehand, and he allowed it.This method is not the right way, but it can make those people of different backgrounds return to him as quickly as possible, and it is also an expedient measure.

"You can see clearly." Xun Ying looked at Liu Bang in front of him.If a person has the determination to change, he can really be reborn.The Liu Bang in front of her eyes seemed to be two completely different people from the one she saw at first.

After receiving a compliment from Lu Zhi, Liu Bang showed a smile on his face.He reached out and took out the whip that was so precious to him from the package, and put it on the table. "This is a whip made of snakeskin. I think it suits you very well."

Xun Ying stretched out her hand to hold the whip in her hand. She had never used a whip as a weapon before, but that didn't mean she didn't know how to use it.When it is strong enough, what weapon to use is not so important.No matter what kind of weapon it is, it can exert the greatest effect in her hands.

In the apocalypse, she is used to wielding a laser sword.It's not that Xun Ying has a preference for weapons like swords, it's just that laser swords are the most common in the last days, and they are very suitable for the character she has shown. 'Sword' is the soldier of a gentleman in everyone's mind, and people who use swords are more likely to make people feel decent than those who use other weapons.

She just got on her hand slightly, and didn't wave the whip away.Just like this, she can also feel that this whip is indeed a rare weapon in the world. "It's really suitable for me to use recently."

"As long as you like it." When Lu Zhi checked the whip, Liu Bang felt a little nervous.He really put his heart into making this whip, but he himself is not a skillful craftsman.The things Lu Zhi took out were always the best he had ever seen.

Whether it was the drink that was regarded as his daily reward, or the sword that Lu Zhi gave him.Even the meals made by Lu Zhi himself are more exquisite than those made by others.Even if it is the same material, it seems that there are different tastes in her hands.

"It's very suitable to be a pointer." Xun Ying looked up at Liu Bang, her words didn't fluctuate much.There seemed to be a smile in her eyes.

"Teacher?!" Liu Bang was obviously confused.In this era, there is no such thing as a pointer. Even if you are a scholar, what you hold in your hand is always a ruler.

Xun Ying did not explain the word, Liu Bang should soon understand the meaning of the word 'pointer'. "A few years ago, you wanted to practice martial arts. I said it was not the right time."

"Huh?" Liu Bang didn't react for a moment.Practice martial arts?

He did know that Liu Fei had been practicing martial arts since he was very young, so it could be said that he had received Lu Zhi's true biography.Now with one hand, it is no problem to deal with a few street gangsters, at least better than him!

He is not at the age where he can use his full strength. Now Liu Fei is just 11 years old. His physical strength and endurance are obviously not as good as adults.Only relying on the skills of the dancer, he can fight several grown men, which is quite good.

Even if he doesn't make any progress in the next few years, he only relies on what he has learned now.When he is an adult, he will definitely be a brave person.Liu Bang even felt that given him some time, no one in the entire Pei County would be his opponent.After all, Liu Fei was taught by Lu Zhi.

He did exercise, but he just felt that there might be escapes like this in the future, and he didn't want himself to be a drag.Since he has taken this step, it will definitely be very dangerous in the future.Liu Bang was already prepared for this.

Even so, Liu Bang didn't have the desire to practice martial arts.He started to practice martial arts in his forties. If he said it, it was probably a joke.

Did Lu Zhi mention letting him practice martial arts?Although he didn't take it seriously, Liu Bang began to recall when Lu Zhi asked him to practice martial arts.He still has a deep memory of what Lu Zhi said to him.Just pondering for a while, he remembered.

When he accidentally fell for Wanmei's design, Lu Zhi did say that he needed to become stronger.In Lu Zhi's mind, this power includes force.However, Lu Zhi said 'not the time' at that time.After so many years, Lu Zhi never brought up the corresponding topic again.He didn't even take it to heart.

"Well, you did say it before. Could it be that now is the time for me to practice martial arts?" Liu Bang asked jokingly.This martial arts practice is as young as possible, and he is a few years older than he was back then.Although he has paid great attention to maintenance these years, and his body shows no signs of decline, it doesn't mean that he really hasn't aged.

"Now you have a lot of free time, so it is indeed very suitable for martial arts. With my cooperation, it lasts for a year or two, and you can achieve small success. At your age, it is enough to practice martial arts to protect yourself. Think It is impossible to reach the peak." Xun Ying nodded seriously.

It is true that the earlier you practice martial arts, the better, but this is not inevitable.Sometimes there are opportunities that allow people to ignore the age limit.Xun Ying has a lot of means to improve this, she just needs to choose one that is not so shocking.

Liu Bang's face became very serious, he knew that Lu Zhi would not lie.In other words, she really has the ability to do it.Although it is only at the level of minor success, some martial arts practitioners are unable to achieve this level in their entire lives.If someone knew that Lu Zhi had this ability, it would definitely drive people crazy.

"Pheaser, besides me, does anyone else know that you have this ability?" Liu Bang couldn't help asking.He is unwilling to show his abilities just to avoid danger.Lu Zhi's ability is stronger than him, and it is much more peeping.He hardly dared to imagine, if other people knew that Lu Zhi had such abilities, what kind of scene would be waiting for Lu Zhi? !

It's too late to be happy because I can practice martial arts, or even reach the small town.Liu Bang was more worried about Lu's pheasant.

"Father, don't ignore me!" Liu Fei was dissatisfied with being ignored.He behaved much calmer than Liu Bang.

Although he is not very old, he can still judge how shocking things his mother can do.In the end, he followed Lu's pheasant to learn martial arts, and saw many places where Lu's pheasant was powerful.It is normal in his eyes that Lu Zhi can do things that others cannot.

Of course, he is also very clear that Lu Zhi in the eyes of outsiders seems to be very different from the mother he is familiar with.He had to keep his mouth shut about these differences.

Liu Bang didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Fei at all, he looked at Lu Zhi with a bit of anxiety in his eyes. "Pheasant..."

"Except for you father and son, no one else knows." Xun Ying repeated another sentence in order to make her words more convincing. "You really think it's easy for people to practice martial arts regardless of their age. The things that are needed are not affordable by ordinary people. Even if someone knows, not everyone is willing to bear the price."

"In this case, it doesn't matter if I don't practice martial arts." Liu Bang first breathed a sigh of relief, and then refused.Since there is such a high price, he does not have to practice martial arts. "The world today may not be peaceful for a few days. If the world is in chaos, you will definitely be by my side. With you here, I won't have any problems if I don't practice martial arts. Moreover, with Liu Fei around If I follow by my side, his martial arts will become higher and higher."

"Since I have spoken, I can afford the price." Xun Ying stood up as she spoke. "You ask your subordinates to prepare a bathtub for you, fill it with hot water, I will use it later."

"Okay." Liu Bang hesitated slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.It can be seen that Lu Zhi's interest is not high at this time, but he doesn't know what he said, which made Lu Zhi suddenly so unhappy.

Now that he agreed to Lu Zhi, Liu Bang naturally began to prepare immediately.He had an empty bathtub moved to his room.

Lu Zhi walked to the tub, and she took off the burden from her back.Unpacking the baggage, what Liu Bang thought was not food and clothing, but boxes.Moreover, some of them are jade boxes.Regardless of what's inside, these boxes are worth a fortune.Things in such a box will naturally only be more valuable.

"Father, mother, I will guard the door. Take your time!" Liu Fei didn't feel that there was any ambiguity in what he said, so he walked out of the door directly after speaking.

Liu Bang looked at the tub full of water, his face flushed a little, and his heart beat a little faster.I don't know if it's because of the heat from the steam, or something else.He watched as Lu Zhi sent herbs he knew or didn't know into the hot water.

Now he couldn't think about the value of those medicinal herbs, but he was thinking about the issue that he would bathe in front of Lu Zhi's eyes.He had heard of medicated baths before, since it was medicated baths, Lu Zhi probably had to watch beside him to avoid any adverse reactions.

He is very thankful that he has paid great attention to exercise and maintenance these years, and his figure is not a little out of shape like other men at this age.

Lu Zhi's dignified and elegant demeanor makes people feel that she is noble, but also more mature than her peers.Liu Bang looked much younger than his peers.Although he is 15 years older than Lu Zhi, but just looking at his appearance, it doesn't make people think that there is so much difference between the two.

However, there is always a difference between ideal and reality.

What Xun Ying prepared for Liu Bang was indeed a medicinal bath, but he was not prepared to let him go in naked.She stretched out her fingers and slid across Liu Bang's acupuncture points, then with a little force, she grabbed Liu Bang's shoulders and threw him directly into the bathtub.

Before Liu Bang had time to react, he was already standing in the bathtub.The water in the tub splashed high, but in the end it all fell back into the tub obediently.Moreover, this bucket of water was just burned by someone, and the heat is definitely enough to scald people.

Liu Bang was in such hot water. Although he didn't feel the burning sensation, he wanted to get up subconsciously.Afterwards, he realized that he couldn't move at all, and could only maintain such a posture, standing in the middle of the water.

The feeling at this moment made him somewhat familiar.When he and Lu Zhi first got married, he had experienced this kind of feeling, and even the pain in his body was very familiar.On the contrary, he felt that the hot water that was enough to scald him made him feel somewhat comfortable.

It seems that something in the body is constantly being destroyed, causing pain. These medicines seem to soothe the pain, but they are a bit itchy.What he feels now is that it hurts and itches!Although it is no longer the same as before, the more the pain, the clearer the mind.At this time, his head was not cloudy at all, it was always very clear.This impatience is no different from back then.

It's just that now he doesn't have any dissatisfaction with Lu Zhi in his heart, nor does he have any fear.He opened his eyes and watched Lu Zhi sitting at a table not far away drinking water, but his heart was full of satisfaction.

He now knows that after enduring that kind of pain back then, what he got was not only a smarter brain, but also a body that was much stronger than his peers.He didn't feel any deterioration in his physique these years. He thought it was his own maintenance, but now he thinks about what kind of maintenance can make him as strong and beneficial as a man in his teens and 20s.

All of this was given to her by Lu Zhi.I'm afraid that from the day Lu Zhi got married to him, he was ready to make him a man with both civil and military skills.All these years, all he needs to do is wait, and then walk towards the path she arranged for him.

Lu Zhi, on the other hand, had been preparing for this day's medicinal bath for more than ten years.How could he not be moved by her dedication.

The luckiest thing in his life, Liu Bang, was probably marrying Lu Zhi as his wife.His parents gave him the gift of procreation, and Lu's pheasant gave him the gift of regeneration.

"This medicated bath is used to open up the meridians. Although it is a bit uncomfortable, the effect is worthy of praise." After drinking a glass of water, Xun Ying got up, and her lips that were somewhat dry before became moist again.

Liu Bang's gaze stayed on her lips for a moment, and he only remembered now that when Lu Zhi came, her lips seemed a little pale.This is a bit different from her usual perfect image.It is not a short distance from Pei County to the Mangdang Mountains.During this journey, they may not be walking slowly.There is another Liu Fei who needs to be taken care of beside Lu Zhi, so that she doesn't even care about her own image that much.

However, when she came here, it was the first time she talked with him.Only now did she have time to sit down and drink a glass of water.When he saw her drinking water, he even subconsciously thought that Lu Zhi was killing time.

Liu Bang suddenly felt that he was a bit bad.Not only is his contribution always inferior to what Lu Zhi gave him, but even the word 'caring' cannot be perfectly fulfilled by him.

He claims that his feelings for Lv Zhi can be called "love", the kind of love that wants to "sleep together in life and die in the same cave".But he, a self-proclaimed lover, is not as good as Lu Zhi's use in the name of fulfilling Lu Gong's wish.

Liu Bang opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything at this time.Both of them knew this result well, but Liu Bang still made mouth shapes.The words he opened his mouth were 'it doesn't matter'.

When he endured such pain for the first time, apart from the initial fear, he didn't complain about Lu Zhi.Now, it is even more impossible for him to have the slightest.

Xun Ying saw her mouth shape, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her eyes met his. "This is just the beginning, if you can still feel 'it's okay' later."

Liu Bang's gaze was still very soft. He was enduring the itching and pain in his body, but he tried to smile on his face, which made his face a bit distorted.No matter what kind of pain it is, he can definitely bear it.In his eyes, this pain is Lu Zhi's concern for him.At this moment, he even felt that this was a reward, not a punishment!

"..." Xun Ying glanced at Liu Bang's distorted smile, the smile on her lips remained the same, but her eyelids drooped slightly.

She naturally knew how painful it was to do this. Although she had never tried it, Liu Bang had experienced it once before, and it was really painful and sweating.She also had a bit of resentment towards Feng Yanzhu at the beginning, even though Liu Bang did not have his memory, she chose the most painful way to strengthen Liu Bang's body.

At this time, she still used the same method.Although Liu Bang has experienced this pain once, he will not feel pain just because this is the second experience.Now there is not only pain, but also the itching caused by the medicine when his body is repairing, which will only become more unbearable.

She used the same method at this time, but there were some thoughts that Liu Bang missed.Everything Lu Zhi did was 'good intentions', and the effect seemed to be better than she had imagined, which made her feel a bit weird.

This is the power of love? !Although Xun Ying had contact with so many emperors, she even made them treat her specially.These can't be changed, the fact that she has never experienced love at all.So she couldn't understand that Liu Bang was obviously in pain at this time, but the look in his eyes was very gentle, and he could even vaguely see a feeling of enjoyment.

She believes that the so-called love is nothing more than being able to ignore the other party's harm.Enjoy the pain... Normal people shouldn't have such a reaction.

The pain this time was the same as the first time he experienced it, lasting half an hour.However, when Liu Bang felt the pain go away this time, he didn't feel that kind of relaxed relief. Instead, he felt a bit of a pity.Liu Bang raised his arm and placed it on the edge of the bathtub. "It has ended?"

"Hmm. How do you feel?" Xun Ying approached the tub, and the herbs were floating on the tub, but the effect of the medicine had already disappeared.At this time, they are no different from ordinary weeds and wood.

"Very good." Liu Bang felt that he had never had such a good time, and it was not caused by psychological elements.This time the pain passed, not only did his body not feel tired, he even felt that his body was full of strength.He wasn't mentally exhausted at all, and was even a little excited.

"What? I want to do it again." Xun Ying didn't miss the vague regret in Liu Bang's eyes.

Liu Bang was indeed a little surprised, but then he reacted.He asked solemnly, "Can it still be useful?!"

Lu Zhi will not do things that are useless.He is well aware of this.Therefore, he could feel Lu Zhi's intentions for her in the pain.

"Wait until your body absorbs the effect of this medicine."

"I will adapt as soon as possible!" Liu Bang's gaze was very firm. "It will not let you down."

"En." Xun Ying is not worried that Liu Bang will let her down at this time, it depends on his enthusiasm at this time.Perhaps a small success in martial arts will not be the end.
