[Comprehensive] Empress Variations

Liu Bang's subordinates originally thought that Liu Bang's wife, Lv Zhi, had come to the Mangdang Mountains, and they could also see how this "man of God" got along with his wife.This can be regarded as adding some talking points to their boring mountain life.

It's just that things didn't develop as they imagined.On the second day after Lu Zhi came to the Mandang Mountains, Liu Bang ran with everyone as usual.He also has one more child beside him than usual.Lu Zhi, whom they were paying close attention to, stood aside and watched.

Liu Bang's lifestyle hasn't changed much, but he won't let anyone despise Lu Zhi.Even those who have been with Liu Bang for the shortest time know that Liu Bang is very precious about the whip woven from red snakeskin.

Most of them have seen Liu Bang make it up by himself, even if they haven't seen him make it up, they know that he often plays with the whip in his hand.Some people who have been deeply poisoned have long combined the whip made of red snakeskin with the story, and they attach special importance to this whip.

Now the whip appeared in Lu Zhi's hands, and she even let her hold it and play with it.She looks extraordinarily noble and dignified, but for some reason, holding this whip in her hand feels very dangerous.

From time to time, Lu Zhi raised his head to look at Liu Bang, and his peripheral vision sometimes seemed to pass over them inadvertently.Now that they decided to follow Liu Bang, they naturally wanted to make a good impression in front of Lu Zhi.When they started running, they were much more attentive than usual, and their training volume increased inadvertently.

They followed behind Liu Bang, and found something different from the past.Liu Bang's running speed was really much faster than usual. At first they thought it was their own illusion. If Liu Bang's speed was too fast, how could the children around him keep up?

Now that I am following them, I realize that the speed is indeed faster than before.Although the child was not running slowly, he didn't seem to be forced at all, and seemed to be more relaxed than Liu Bang.

Inadvertently, he thought of the appearance of Lu Zhi and Liu Fei just yesterday. Logically speaking, it is impossible for this woman to bring a child to relax.But Lu Zhi didn't seem to be struggling, even the teenager didn't show any signs of fatigue, and was still very lively.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they clearly saw that the fear in their eyes had deepened.This family does not seem to be ordinary people.

Lu Zhi said yesterday that what he needs now is to completely absorb the energy in his body.From this point of view, his physical fitness is probably no worse than that of a normal warrior.Liu Bang originally thought that he would learn martial arts moves directly today, but when he got up early this morning, he was told to take Liu Fei for a run.

He obediently tied the load on his body, and then took Liu Fei for a run in the forest.As soon as he started running, he found that when he was carrying weight, he felt more relaxed than when he did not carry weight yesterday.He really and intuitively noticed the change in himself overnight.

The more relaxed he felt, the more useless he felt.Liu Bang glanced at Liu Fei beside him, but he didn't ask, nor did he express his doubts.In terms of martial arts practice, he did not have as much contact with Liu Fei.However, this does not mean that he is willing to admit defeat in front of his son.

They ran for a long time, but Lu Zhi didn't have any intention to stop.Liu Bang gradually felt a little tired. He looked at Liu Fei and found that there were sweat marks on his forehead.As for those subordinates who originally ran behind the two, some people had already started looking for a place to rest.Only a few strong-willed ones barely followed behind the two of them.

"Liu Fei, why don't you stop and rest for a while?" Liu Bang has not reached the point where he can't hold on now, and he is even a little tired just now.But Liu Fei is just a child in her teens, and it's normal for her stamina to be inferior to that of an adult.

Liu Fei glanced at Liu Bang, with some obvious contempt vaguely.He asked a seemingly irrelevant question directly, "Father, what do you think of the whip you gave mother?"

"The pheasant seems to like it very much." Mentioning Lu's pheasant, Liu Bang's voice subconsciously softened a bit.Lu Zhi really seemed to like the whip he gave her, and she had been holding it early this morning.

"Father, I didn't ask your mother if she likes it..." Liu Fei quickly glanced at the whip. Yesterday, he didn't understand the meaning of 'pointer' in his mother's mouth.Today he saw his mother watching them run with a whip, and he knew what the whip was for in minutes.

When Lu Zhi taught him martial arts, he was never very gentle, and would often break off a branch from a tree and stand beside him.Although there were not many opportunities for this branch to be drawn on him, the sense of fear was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

When he first came into contact with martial arts, he didn't like it.If Lu Zhi hadn't used a tough way, he might be a spoiled child now, instead of being superior to his peers as he is now. "Do you think this whip hurts people?"

"Should it hurt?" The material of the whip was placed there, and it should be very painful to whip people, otherwise Liu Bang would not have given the whip as a weapon to Lu Zhi.Liu Bang didn't pay much attention to the pain of the whip hitting people.He felt that no matter what kind of pain, it was probably not as deep as the pain he experienced twice.He is not afraid of that kind of pain anymore, so how can he be afraid of the whip?

"So, before mother said to complete the task..." Liu Fei adjusted his breathing before continuing. "It cannot be stopped."

Liu Bang understood what Liu Fei said, and he turned his head to look at Lu Zhi's figure.Lu Zhi has been standing still, he is far away now, so naturally he can't see the expression on her face clearly at this time.However, he felt that her gaze was always on him.

If he fails to complete the task she entrusted, will Lu Zhi's whip fall on him?Liu Bang's Adam's apple moved involuntarily, and he thought of Lu Zhi's demeanor waving a whip.Thinking that the whip he made by himself was the first to be stained with his blood, this whip would be brought by Lu Zhi's side day and night...

Liu Bang was inexplicably somewhat looking forward to it, and also somewhat regretful.He regretted why he didn't think of mixing his own blood in it when he was weaving the whip.When Lu Zhi played with the whip, he would get his breath.

After such an idea appeared, he couldn't suppress it for a while.Liu Bang sighed slightly, even if he had this idea, it was impossible for him to make a mistake on his own initiative.Not to mention the face problem of making a mistake in front of these subordinates, just after he released the water himself, it is very likely that Lu Zhi will see it, so he dare not take the risk.

Not only can't take the initiative to make mistakes, but he also tries to avoid making mistakes himself.Lu Zhi has been busy for him all these years, he can't let Lu Zhi down at this moment.Satisfying Lu Zhi's expectation or satisfying his desire, Liu Bang decisively chose the former between the two.

As for the smell of his blood on the whip, it's not the only way, isn't it?He will use other methods to unseal that whip.

"Okay, you all come and rest." Xun Ying also saw Liu Fei's state, and made him stop after a while.Breaking through the limits of the human body is a way of growth, but this way must be moderate, otherwise it is easy to cause indelible damage to the human body.Especially Liu Fei's current skeleton has not yet fully formed, so naturally he should pay more attention.

Liu Bang's body does not have this concern. His running is not to develop the potential of the body, but to absorb the residual drug effect in the body.This can indeed be done by practicing moves, and it can even be said that practicing martial arts moves will do better.

However, there is one thing that cannot be achieved by practicing moves... Xun Ying glanced at the people who were resting in various places. At this time, Liu Bang's subordinates, few of them had the strength to stand, and they were all resting not far away .

She could discover one thing, and Liu Bang would never ignore it.As a leader, it is not advisable to let yourself be strong alone, and the strength of his subordinates is also a manifestation of his strength.

Liu Bang took Liu Fei's hand and walked towards Lu Zhi's side. When he came to Lu Zhi's side, he stretched out his hand to straighten a strand of hair scattered around Lu Zhi's cheek. "Tired yet?"

Liu Fei was almost hanging on Liu Bang at this time. When he heard Liu Bang say this, he habitually felt helpless in his heart, and he didn't even have the thought of refuting.Sure enough, he couldn't escape the scene of watching his father currying favor with his mother at any time.

They ran for almost an hour, and the mother just watched from the side, how could they be tired?Don't say that my mother is a martial arts practitioner, even if she is really just an ordinary woman, she won't feel tired because of this, okay?

If he maintains one posture, he may be a little tired, but his mother feels comfortable in any posture.It directly eliminated the only possibility that she would feel tired.

"I didn't do anything, how could I feel tired?!" Xun Ying still had her standard smile on her face.She met Liu Bang's gaze and quickly looked away.Looking down at Liu Fei slightly, the smile on her face was slightly restrained, and she looked a little serious. "Liu Fei, don't rely on your father."

"Okay." Liu Fei immediately moved away his hand holding Liu Bang's arm, and his body stood upright in an instant.It was not obvious at all that he was still looking weak just now.Only his slightly trembling legs could tell that he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

This time he felt more tired than before. He has been running for so many years, and he has to break through his limit every day.However, this time because he came to the Mangdang mountain area with his mother, he hadn't run so hard for several days.Along the way, most of them were led by Lu Zhi.

The mountain road, which is difficult for others, is actually the most relaxing few days for him in recent years.Now that he was exercising again, Liu Fei felt a little bit strenuous.Sure enough, things like martial arts cannot be relaxed at all.Once you relax a little bit, it will be a bit difficult to pick it up again.

"Go back and have something to eat, and practice moves in the courtyard in the afternoon." Xun Ying's eyes lingered on Liu Fei for a while, and she could see her concern for Liu Fei.But she didn't show this concern, and she didn't even let Liu Fei rely on Liu Bang.

"Mother, I'm fine. I haven't practiced for a few days, and my body is a little lazy. I will be able to play with ease tomorrow." Liu Fei is already very familiar with this kind of forbearance.His performance is also very obvious.

"Go back." Xun Ying frowned slightly, she turned around and walked in front.

Liu Bang and Liu Fei followed Lu Zhi back to the wooden house where Liu Bang temporarily lived.The two rested in the room for a while, and Lu Zhi brought the food.

After eating, Xun Ying gave the two of them enough time to rest, and only then did they start training their moves.If it is said that running this way of exercising the body is a kind of "strength", then the moves are a kind of "cunning". Both are equally important for warriors.

Liu Fei had already passed the time to start from scratch, but Xun Ying didn't let Liu Fei practice alone.Instead, let him watch Liu Bang practice, and even if Liu Bang did something wrong, Liu Fei would point it out.

Liu Fei and Liu Bang didn't think there was anything wrong with this.Although Liu Bang felt a bit ashamed to let his son teach him, it was precisely because of this that he studied more seriously.When he settled down to study, Liu Bang knew that it was not a lie that Lu Zhi once said that he had good aptitude.

He can firmly remember most of the moves after watching them once.Naturally, he didn't want to miss the moves that Lu Zhi personally showed him, and he didn't even want to blink his eyes, lest he miss any of Lu Zhi's moves.

The only thing he lacks is the coordination of the body and the reaction, making the body familiar with these movements.If this point is done by a 47-[-] man, it must be very difficult.When he did it, it was extremely smooth.

Liu Bang's learning speed puts a little pressure on Liu Fei.He practiced martial arts five or six years earlier than Liu Bang, but looking at Liu Bang's current state, it is only a matter of time to catch up with his speed.

Liu Fei's first reaction was that he really deserved to be the person his mother was willing to marry, and it was really extraordinary.The second reaction was that, as expected, he was Liu Fei's father, who was as smart as him...

Although Liu Bang's strength is a good thing for him and his mother, Liu Fei will not accept it without any struggle.He looked up at Lu Zhi, "Mother, when will you teach me some new moves, I will remember all the ones you taught me."

"Don't be greedy for too many moves, just use enough. No matter what kind of moves, they will inevitably lead to the same goal in the end. When you break away from the restrictions of moves, you will become stronger. Greedy now will only stop you from moving forward." Xun There are too many moves in Ying's mind, many of which she has not even used before.Of course, with her current state, she can completely manipulate these moves at will.

However, these moves did not have much effect in her eyes.If you can win with one move, why bother to show off your moves?

Now Liu Fei doesn't know what kind of realm is "beyond the restrictions of moves", but he knows that there may be no chance for him to learn new moves.

"Just practice what you know now." Xun Ying was not prepared to make Liu Fei think too much. "When practicing, teach your father what you know by the way.

"Huh? I'll teach my father?!" Liu Fei's eyes widened suddenly, "Mom, what are you going to do? Aren't you going to stay in Mangdang Mountain?!"

"Of course I'm going back. There's still your grandfather at home who needs to be taken care of." Xun Ying said as it should.Mrs. Liu passed away a few years ago, and Lu Gong has been taken care of by their three daughters-in-law.

Uncle Liu left early, and it was not easy for my sister-in-law to live alone and raise a child, so she naturally didn't have much energy to care about Mr. Liu.Liu Zhong is considered capable among the three. It is precisely because of his ability that Liu Zhong's wife has a lot of entertainment.

Among the three, Lu Zhi seemed to have the most free time.Moreover, Lu's pheasant is closer to Lu Gong's residence, so it is convenient to take care of it.This time he brought Liu Fei to the Mangdang Mountain area, and he also said hello to his two sister-in-laws in advance, and he came with Liu Taigong's consent.

In front of outsiders, Lu Zhi is a most virtuous wife.She never let down those elders who saw her that way.Not to mention breaking this impression with my own hands.

"Pheasant, don't father have two sisters-in-law to take care of? You don't have to take care of it yourself. You can stay in this Mangdang Mountain area without any problem." Liu Bang woke up from the sea of ​​martial arts in an instant .Then he thought it was very novel just a moment ago, and the martial arts that attracted him very much were instantly forgotten by him.

He and Lu Zhi were separated within less than a day, how could he accept it calmly?They were separated for so many days before, how impatient he was, how much he missed, he still remembers clearly.

It would be fine if his Liu family really had only one son, but he was not the only one in the Liu family.The eldest sister-in-law is indeed unreliable, but what about the second sister-in-law?Uncle Liu is the most capable person in the Liu family, it is impossible for him not to be able to take care of an old man.

Why did the second sister-in-law help the second brother Liu Zhonggong to become famous, but Lu Zhi insisted on leaving him?Liu Bang was already somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Zhong, and now the dissatisfaction is even worse.In the past, Liu Zhong was the one my father praised the most, beating and scolding him.Even if he became the head of the pavilion, it didn't change his image in front of Liu Gong.

Liu Gong really needs someone to take care of him, as a son of man, he can't put his father aside and ignore him.But why does the person who takes care of this have to be Lu Zhi, and why not Liu Zhong, the second sister-in-law who is Liu Gong's favorite. "Even if you don't go back, the second sister-in-law can take good care of my father."

Liu Bang didn't like Liu Zhong, who had a high status in the Liu family, but he had to admit it.Liu Zhong and his wife are really good at life.It is impossible for them to leave the old man there.

"Husband, even if this is the case, I still want to go back and report my safety." Xun Ying met Liu Bang's gaze, and Liu Bang swallowed the words that Liu Bang wanted to refute, back into her stomach. "I also want to go back and prepare the medicinal materials for you next time. The medicinal materials brought this time can only be used by you once."

Liu Bang knew that he had no possibility to refute, so how could he refute the medicinal materials prepared for him?Since his martial arts practice has already started, it is impossible to give up halfway, at least he must meet Lu Zhi's expectations.Moreover, compared to his expectations for martial arts, he actually wanted to see how much these herbs could improve his body.

No matter how indifferent he behaved, Liu Bang had to admit that he was 15 years older than Lu Zhi, which was definitely a lump in his heart.Under normal circumstances, he would always pass away one step faster than Lu Zhi, and there must be no trace of him in her life for a long time.

Just thinking about this possibility makes him feel a little sour.This medicine made him see a possibility, a possibility to stay with Lu Zhi for more years.

"Then, go early and come back early." Liu Bang's voice was a bit hoarse.His vision is also very complicated, with reluctance, nostalgia, anticipation...combined together, it is probably a capitalized "tangle".

"Don't worry, my husband, I will come back before you finish absorbing the effects of the medicine." Xun Ying nodded, and she reached out to stroke Liu Fei's head. "Then, Liu Fei, your father will leave it to you."

"Mother, don't worry, the child promises to complete the task." Liu Fei raised his head slightly, allowing Lu Zhi to see his extremely firm gaze.

After Xun Ying finished speaking, she glanced at the two of them again, then she turned her head and walked into the room.When she came out again, she already had a package in her hand.Nodding at the two of them, she walked out the door.

Liu Bang and Liu Fei watched Lu Zhi leave, and then looked back reluctantly.Lu's pheasant is much faster than ordinary people, and they didn't actually look at it for long.What's more, the dense forest is more likely to obscure people's sight than other places, and their vision is not wide enough.

"Father, mother, she has already made arrangements, right?!" Only then did Liu Fei remember the package he brought, which contained all his clothes.

At first he thought they would live in the Mangdang Mountains for a long time.When Lu Zhi came, the package on his body was much bigger than him, and it was indeed easy to misunderstand when he didn't know that it contained medicine.

Liu Bang lowered his eyes, his voice was very clear in the yard. "Let's practice martial arts."

Now in Liu Bang's mind, one fact is identified.The faster his body absorbed the medicine, the sooner Lu Zhi would return to Mandang Mountain.The two have been together for so many years, and Lu Zhi has never deceived him.She certainly wouldn't lie to him.

"..." Liu Fei thought that Liu Bang would be depressed for a while, but he didn't expect him to be like a person who didn't care.But Liu Fei still complied, and he is now in a somewhat depressed mood.Since he was three years old, he has never left Lu Zhi's side, this is the first time.

Soon, Liu Fei didn't feel that Liu Bang was indifferent.He even felt that Liu Bang was practicing himself to death, and his earnestness made him face the charm of his mother again.

Liu Fei did not dissuade Liu Bang.This is also a good thing for him, he can see his mother as soon as possible...
