Yang Ling saw that the two princesses had left the room and quickly jumped down from the bed. His pants were stained with porridge and when he pulled it open to take a look, his little brother was shrunk like a silkworm cocoon. His inner thighs were red and when he touched them lightly, it was so hot that there were slight blisters.
Yang Ling heaved a sigh of relief, luckily it was not a big deal. He quickly locked the door, took off his clothes and quickly changed into a new set of robes. He then rushed to the 'Pot Immortal Hall'. When he arrived, he saw that the hall was empty, there were still some teacups on the table and two maids were tidying it up. Yang Ling quickly asked, "Why are there only you two here, where's the Emperor?"
The two maids quickly bowed and said, "Greetings to Duke, the Emperor and Celestial Master have already left the residence, saying that they want to compete with King Yao's men."
When Yang Ling heard this, he quickly turned around and ran out of the door. His inner thighs were slightly painful from the friction of his clothes but he couldn't care less. When Yang Ling rushed out of the residence, he saw that on the flat ground with a huge Taiji diagram, two groups of men were standing opposite each other, flags were fluttering in the wind from all directions, the imperial court's officers were densely packed, not even a drop of water could trickle through.
In the middle of the empty ground was divided by the Taiji diagram, on the left and right stood a few hundred people. On the left side were the imperial guards wearing bright yellow battle robes, each of their armor was bright and their weapons were shiny. On the right side, it must be the Yao people, their heads were wrapped in bandanas, they were wearing green short clothes and belts, other than a few of them who had long and narrow blades, most of them were holding simple spears in their hands. It must be assumed that iron weapons to them are also very luxurious items.
Zheng De Emperor was dressed in arrow sleeves and light clothing, with a sword in his hand, he stood in front of the Imperial Bodyguards. Opposite him, there was also a person who stepped forward bravely, leading the entire troop. That person's body was big and fat, even though the place was warm, it was winter after all, but that person's upper body was only wearing a waistcoat, his dark and glossy body was fat and thick.
This man's hat was made of cloth, there were a few feathers stuck on it, his hand was holding a nine-ringed machete. Although he looked like a fiend, that man's expression was obviously uneasy. He did not look at Zheng De opposite him, but looked around at the neatly arranged yet densely packed troops of soldiers with swords and spears like a forest. Presumably, this man was that Yao King Pan Qiushi.
Yang Ling looked at the atmosphere of both sides, it did not look like they were leading an army to fight, it was more like two triad bosses gathering their brothers to fight, he found it funny. The two blisters on his legs were rubbing uncomfortably, by this time he arrived at the scene and saw that both sides had not started fighting yet, he relaxed and felt the piercing pain in his heart. As he walked, he could not help but feel the pain in his legs.
He walked in front of Zhengde and saw the Taoist master Zhang was also standing on the side, trying his best to persuade the Emperor. Yang Ling quickly cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you are the master of the four seas, the most respected person in the world, these barbarians do not know the vastness of the heaven and earth, their arrogant words are a joke, Your Majesty can just laugh it off, why must you take it seriously?"
Zhengde smiled and said, "It's rare for me to have the opportunity to personally lead an army to fight a war, I can personally educate these barbarians. In the past, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and made him submit to me, it became a legend. If I can convince this King Yao today and from now on submit to me, what's wrong with that?"
Yang Ling frowned and turned his head to look at Tang Yixian and the three princesses standing behind him. If Tang Yixian wanted to stop him, Zhengde might not go against her wishes. But Tang Yixian is very obedient, when it's just the two of them, no matter how rude and unreasonable they are, they can treat it as a couple's bedroom. In front of outsiders, Tang Yixian will not overstep her boundaries and is very careful to maintain Zhengde's image as the Son of Heaven.
When she came out, Zhengde and King Yao were already at a stalemate and were about to fight. As a woman, it's not good for her to come out and stop them. That's why she asked Yongchun to hurry and urge Yang Ling, hoping that he will use his status as a court official to dissuade the Emperor.
But now that Emperor Zhengde has already left his mansion and both sides are ready to fight, if they retreat now, they will really be laughed at. Yang Ling thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, how can a small King Yao be qualified to fight against you? Since Your Majesty wants to lead the army to fight, then Your Majesty is the commander-in-chief of the three armies and should be in the middle of the command, I will be the vanguard. "
"This …" Zhengde was a little hesitant. Opposite him, King Yao, Pan Qiushi stared at him with a pair of ox eyes. Seeing him mumbling to himself, not knowing what he is planning, he felt even more scared.
His subordinate warrior, Shi Yigui, carefully moved two steps forward and said to Pan Qiushi in a low voice, "King, when we came up the mountain, we didn't see so many people on the other side. Look at the soldiers around, they are more than the men, women, old and young of our strongholds combined. Duke Tian Chang of Jindan Stronghold said that he is the king of the biggest tribe in the world, looks like it is true. We have already gathered all the warriors in the stronghold, but the difference in numbers is too great, can we defeat them?"
Pan Qiushi pinched his fat chin and said regretfully, "Ghosts and gods cannot be offended. Heavenly Teacher said that if those people offend ghosts and gods, they will bring disaster to us, but he didn't say that this king of Ming Destiny is a king like a ghost or god. But if we stop now, we will be laughed at by others. Fortunately, their king has said that he will subdue us and won't kill us. How about this, tell our people not to hurt Great Bright Prince's people. When we rush out later, I will pretend to be caught by their king because of a moment of carelessness, and then admit defeat. "
Shi Yigui grinned and went back to whisper the king's order to Tofu Sangui. Then, the two of them passed down the order. Before marriage, men were called Gui, and women were called Mei. In order to distinguish between Gui and Mei, other words were added in front of them. Usually, after the child was born, the father would name the thing he saw when he went out for the first time. Shi Yigui's father saw a rock when he went out, so he called him Shi Yigui. Tofu Sangui's father saw a tofu seller when he went out, so he called him Tofu.
This time, most of the people King Yao brought were young and strong men. Those who got married had to change the word 'Gui' to 'Mei', but most of them were still called 'Gui'. The two of them quickly passed down the order to the group of Gui and Mei. Just when they finished, Emperor Zhengde decided to make a concession. He handed the sword to Yang Ling and said to King Yao, "Alright, for the first battle, my beloved Duke Wei, Yang Ling, will fight on my behalf."
When King Yao heard that Duke Wei was called 'Duke Wei', he must be a steward like Duke Tianchang or Duke Chief. If he lost to Duke Wei, it would mean that he lost to King Ming Destiny. So, he immediately prepared himself for defeat.
Zhengde took over a big flag, waved it majestically and shouted, "Charge, subdue them in one fell swoop!"
Yang Ling immediately unsheathed his sword and shouted, "Warriors of the Imperial Palace, charge with me!" Then he took the lead and charged forward.
The skin on the inside of Yang Ling's thighs was broken, and he was panicking. In order to reduce the friction between his legs, he ran in an ugly manner. His legs were loose, and he ran like a duck.
His eyes were fixed on the Yao King. When he was about to reach the Taiji diagram, because he was too focused, he tripped on a slightly protruding rock and fell to the ground. The sword in his hand was also thrown out with a 'clang'.
At this moment, the fat King Yao, Pan Qishi, was waving his big knife and the iron rings were clanking. He looked very powerful. It looked like if he just took two more steps, he would be able to chop off Yang Ling's head. Seeing such a dangerous scene, the princesses and Tang Yixian couldn't hold back and screamed.
Although this King Yao looked like he only had a body full of brute force, his arrogance was only because he was the most powerful tribe in Yaoshan and had the capital to be arrogant. The soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty who were watching the battle were densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see. He had long been scared out of his wits. How could he dare to bury all the warriors of his tribe here?
Pan Qishi had planned to throw down his weapon and surrender after exchanging a few blows, but he did not expect this Ming army general to fall down before he could even fight. Pan Qishi was stunned, his eyes turning cunningly, he sped up and pounced at Yang Ling. He had just raised his broadsword when he cried out and fell to the ground with a thud. The broadsword flew out of his hand and fell to Yang Ling's side.
When the soldiers of both sides saw that their commander was in danger, they immediately rushed over without a care for their own safety. Both sides began to fight. Yang Ling did not expect that this King Yao, who was said to be very powerful, would be so useless. He quickly snatched his broadsword. The broadsword weighed a few dozen pounds, and with Yang Ling's wrist strength, it was really difficult for him to wield such a broadsword.
Luckily, Pan Qishi was too fat. He fell to the ground and did not get up for a long time. Yang Ling hurriedly limped to Pan Qishi's side and placed the broadsword on his shoulder. He had no choice, the broadsword was too heavy, and he was afraid that the sharp blade would really cut through his neck. He then roared, "King Yao has already been captured, do you still want to resist?"
Although the Yao soldiers were brave, the five hundred people on the other side were all imperial guards. Although they looked inconspicuous, if they were in Jianghu, they were all top experts. Even if the Yao people fought back with all their strength, they were no match for them. Moreover, King Yao had given the order to 'not hurt anyone and find a chance to surrender'.
They were already beaten badly. Now that they saw King Yao was captured, they immediately threw down their weapons and surrendered. Emperor Zhengde had just waved the flag in his hand twice when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "The fight is over?"
Yang Ling ordered his men to arrest King Yao and limped to Zhengde's side. He reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is invincible. King Yao's troops were defeated with one attack. We have already won."
Zheng De did not know that King Yao had surrendered on his own accord because of the 'cheerleaders' surrounding him. He could not help but burst out laughing when he heard this. After laughing, he felt a little regretful, "Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times. I've only captured him once. How can this be?"
He thought for a while and shouted at King Yao, "You little barbarian king is so arrogant. You insisted on fighting my Heavenly Army. Do you admit defeat now?"
King Yao hurriedly nodded and said, "I admit defeat, I admit defeat. King Ming Destiny is invincible in the world. I admit defeat."
Emperor Zhengde was furious when he heard this. This fellow is too uncooperative. How can he admit defeat so easily? What a coward. He glared at Pan Qishi and wished he could go up and kick this fatty. He waved his hand and sneered, "I'm afraid not."
"Ah?"
"I can see that you are not convinced. Just now you accidentally tripped and fell. It doesn't count. I will let you go now and we will fight again."
King Miao and Yang Ling were dumbfounded. Zhengde didn't care and immediately ordered his men to let King Yao go. He wanted to fight again and this time he wanted to fight personally. Yang Ling tried his best to persuade the Yaoren army. Although they did not look as strong as he had imagined, it was too dangerous for a thousand of them to fight together. He suggested, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why don't both sides send out ten people. After all, the Yao King has already shown his sincerity. If we send out too many people, he might die."
Emperor Zhengde only wanted to fight. He didn't care about the number of people and immediately nodded his head in agreement. King Yao was released in a daze. He braced himself and brought out nine warriors to stand in front of the Yin Yang Fish and prepared to lose again.
On this side, Emperor Zhengde insisted on fighting personally. Yang Ling had no choice but to choose the nine most skilled imperial guards. He secretly ordered at least three of them to stay by the Emperor's side and the other six to face the enemy. He also ordered the sharpshooters in the army to be ready. If anything goes wrong and someone tries to harm the Emperor, they will not care if it is a one on one fight. They will first kill the person.
Yang Ling ran back and forth until Emperor Zhengde became impatient. Emperor Zhengde led the nine imperial guards to the front and stood still. He stretched out his hand and brandished his sword. He shouted in a majestic manner, "King Yao, watch me personally …"
"Boom!" Before Zheng De could finish his sentence, three imperial guards formed a triangular formation to protect him. The other six leaped up like dragons and tigers, punching and kicking. In the blink of an eye, the nine warriors on the opposite side were all piled up on top of each other. Six shining Embroidered Spring Sabers were placed on Yao King Pan Qishi's neck.
King Yao stared at Zhengde. Zhengde's eyes were also staring blankly. Du Fu, who had received Yang Ling's instructions, immediately raised his arms and shouted, "Our Emperor is brave and invincible!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, "Our Emperor is brave and invincible!" That voice was as majestic as the mountains and rivers, causing the Yao King to tremble in fear. He quickly admitted defeat, "I admit defeat, I admit defeat."
Zhengde felt bored. He waved his hand and said generously, "Let him go. This time I caught him by surprise and won unfairly. Go and prepare, we will fight again. "
Hearing this, Yang Ling's face turned green. That pitiful King Yao, who couldn't even lose, was released. When he returned to the camp and discussed with everyone, they decided that they couldn't continue fighting like this. It was better for him to admit defeat. King Yao brought Stone Yigui and Tofu Sangui back respectfully. He took down his saber and raised it above his head. He knelt on one knee and said, "Ming Destiny's King, I admit defeat and am willing to submit to you. I dare not have the slightest bit of rebellious thoughts."
Zhengde was waiting to fight again. When he heard that King Yao wanted to admit defeat, he couldn't help but frown and look him up and down. Yang Ling and the others saw Zhengde walk three rounds around the pitiful King Yao. They didn't know what he was thinking and couldn't help but look at each other. Suddenly, Zhengde took two steps back and shouted, "Men, take them down! Search them! "
The guards beside him were like wolves and tigers. They rushed forward and captured the three people who were scared silly. They then searched their bodies and took out all kinds of things from their clothes and threw them on the ground. Finally, they found a small silver saber the length of two fingers in King Yao's clothes.
Zhengde laughed loudly and said proudly, "I knew you wouldn't admit defeat. You pretended to surrender and hid a sharp blade to assassinate me?"
King Yao looked at the small silver saber and wanted to cry. Yang Ling was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He was about to step forward when Zhengde waved his hand and said, "I know you are unwilling to admit defeat after I saw through your tricks. Haha, don't worry, I will let you go this time. We will fight again and I will make sure you are convinced."
Pan Qishi was on the verge of breaking down. He had dominated Jindan Mountain and all the kings respected him. There had always been people who surrendered to him but he had never surrendered. He didn't expect to meet Emperor Zhengde today. He wanted to surrender but couldn't get it. It could be said that he was the only one begging to surrender.
He didn't want to be played like a monkey again. Pan Qishi kowtowed and said, "Wise and mighty King Ming Destiny, Pan Qishi is really convinced this time. I am convinced in my heart and in my mouth. I beg you, please let me surrender."
Yang Ling really couldn't tolerate Zhengde's nonsense anymore. He quickly said, "Your Majesty is more courageous than Marquis Zhuge. It took him seven times to subdue Meng Huo. Your Majesty combined strength and gentleness and only used three times to make King Yao sincerely surrender. Your Majesty is much more powerful than Marquis Zhuge. I think this King Yao has no more tricks up his sleeves in front of Your Majesty's eyes. He is sincere in surrendering. Your Majesty, please show mercy, please … please allow him to surrender! "
When Zhengde saw this, he asked, "You are really willing to surrender? Fine, I will allow you to surrender. From now on, you will know your place. Under my rule, Jindan Mountain is free for you to roam. You must not tolerate any more rebellions. Don't make a mistake! "
"Yes, yes, yes. I will obey!" Pan Qishi's tears were about to fall. He finally surrendered as he wished.
Yang Ling was afraid that Emperor Zhengde would go back on his words. He quickly waved his hand for the guards to let him go. He then picked up the pile of junk from the ground and handed it back to him with a smile. He said, "The current Emperor is benevolent. He has always been magnanimous to you. You are willing to repent, no … Eh? What is this? "
When he handed the pile of junk back to King Yao, he found a tattered booklet. The handwriting inside was actually Chinese. King Yao probably couldn't even recognize Chinese. What was this?
He grabbed the booklet and flipped it over. He saw the names of some ministers in the court. He couldn't help but ask in surprise. This King Yao hurriedly and respectfully explained that this book was obtained from the Crown Prince of Ning Wang.
Originally, he had received a large amount of gold and jewels from Crown Prince King Ning and treated him like a distinguished guest. However, after hearing the words of Taoist master Zhang, he knew that this person would bring a great disaster to the entire Miao village. Thus, he listened to the Taoist master and personally escorted him to Mount Longhu to hand over the criminals.
When he captured Crown Prince Yao and the others, King Yao found this booklet. He felt that the paper was soft and convenient. Thus, he used this booklet as toilet paper. He didn't expect that Zhengde would suspect that he was faking his surrender and really wanted to assassinate him. Thus, he found this booklet.
When Crown Prince King Ning fled for his life, he handed over all the gold and jewels he brought with him to bribe King Yao. Yet, he hid such a booklet with the names of the ministers in the court. This item must be very important. Yang Ling's expression turned serious. He quickly flipped through the booklet and finally found out the secret behind it.
What was recorded on this King Yao's' toilet paper 'was actually the account books of the court and local officials that King Ning had interacted with all these years. Who had received what gifts from him, what they had done for him, it was all recorded clearly on it. But the first twenty or so pages had already been torn off.
The list of traitors had a total of less than fifty pages, and this King Yao had actually used up more than twenty pages to clean up his mess. Yang Ling raised his head and looked helplessly at this fat man. Pan Qiishi saw his expression and quickly said, "This paper is very soft. If the leader of Wei Kingdom likes it, then I will give it to you!"
* * *
King Yao was subdued. Crown Prince King Ning and the other criminals were also handed over to the soldiers. Yang Ling returned to the Taoist Master Mansion and carefully flipped through the booklet with Emperor Zhengde. He found that the higher the rank of the officials recorded, the higher the rank. In fact, this was in line with the law. The officials that were the first to be bribed were always the ones with the lower rank and easier to bribe. The higher the rank, the bigger the appetite. It was not easy to feed them and make them work for King Ning.
So, although the first twenty pages were used up by King Yao, there should not be any officials that could affect the overall situation. In addition, this booklet recorded the evidence of King Ning's dealings with the court and local officials. However, not all of these officials were willing to rebel with King Ning.
Many of them were just making things convenient for him. For example, when King Ning bought weapons and rations in the name of suppressing the bandits, some were just on good terms with him. If there were local officials who accused King Ning's residence of being lawless and overstepping the rules, they would turn a blind eye and not pursue the matter.
Yang Ling was afraid that Emperor Zhengde would arrest them in a fit of rage and then search the world based on their confessions, causing terror. Now that King Ning had been executed, the country was in a period of full development. Many officials who had dealings with King Ning's residence were severely punished. They had caused too much damage to the political situation of the court.
However, some of these officials had already pledged their allegiance to King Ning. Once King Ning's troops arrived in his jurisdiction, they would cooperate with the rebels or break the law to provide a large number of personnel for King Ning. For example, Qian Ning of the Southern Prefect had once been tempted by King Ning to steal the blueprint of the Franc Cannon and provided it to King Ning. Such officials had to be severely punished.
Persuaded by Yang Ling, Emperor Zhengde's anger subsided a little. He ordered Yang Ling to sort out the officials recorded in the records. Though this matter was kept secret, it had to be dealt with in secret. Some officials had to be demoted gradually. Some local officials who had not been involved in the rebellion but had a close relationship with King Ning and held a large number of troops had to be transferred for the sake of safety. In addition, those officials who had violated the law had to be brought to justice.
Yang Ling carefully sorted through the records until late at night. There were too many officials who had been involved in the rebellion. Even Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe had received a generous gift from King Ning. If Zhu Yuanzhang had used the same method, this Grand Secretary would have been beheaded and his entire family beheaded. Though Emperor Zhengde wouldn't use such a cruel method, it was conceivable that Grand Secretary Yang would be expelled from the Cabinet and given an idle position when the political situation in the court became more stable.
Yang Ling was in a bad mood. He locked up the files and didn't feel sleepy at the moment, so he pushed open the door and walked out. The night air was chilly, and the stars twinkled in the sky. Yang Ling strolled leisurely along the long corridor with his hands clasped behind his back.
A lantern was hung every few steps along the corridor, swaying gently in the night wind. Except for the Emperor's residence, there were no fixed guards in the Taoist Master's Mansion. The soldiers patrolling outside the mansion had a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five. The security was very tight. Yang Ling walked to the corner of the corridor and looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky. He secretly thought about the series of personnel changes that were about to take place in the court and let out a long sigh.
Now that the Emperor was patrolling outside, these matters couldn't be dealt with immediately. If he wanted to solve this personnel crisis smoothly, he had to first wait for the Emperor to return to the capital and the center of power in the world, where he would be under the protection of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the capital. Secondly, he had to do it quickly if he wanted to do it, in case some local officials with a lot of troops in their hands became desperate and caused trouble.
While Yang Ling was thinking, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the corner of his eyes. Yang Ling fixed his eyes on it and saw a slender figure hurrying through the winding corridor next to the rockery on the right. She turned her head and looked back before hurrying forward. When she looked back, the cold moonlight shone on her face. Yang Ling saw clearly that it was the Little Celestial Master Zhang Fubao. She seemed to be carrying something in her hand.
Yang Ling's curiosity was piqued. What was this little girl doing sneaking around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Yang Ling immediately jumped over the guardrail and carefully chased after her through the flowers and grass. He chased until he came to a moon door and stopped at the door. Then he quietly stuck his head in and saw that Zhang Fubao had walked to the front of a pavilion. He looked back cautiously and then pushed the door open and entered in a flash.
The Celestial Master Mansion was built according to the standards of a prince's mansion. Courtyards of different sizes were connected layer by layer, interlocking with each other. Many of the houses were used to offer sacrifices to the gods or to hold all kinds of ceremonies when there was a major movement. Usually, they were idle. Yang Ling said, "What is a little girl doing here in the middle of the night?"
However, this place was after all the owner. As a man, it was inconvenient for him to secretly follow her. Yang Ling was hesitating whether he should follow her down to see what was going on. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind, "Could it be that this little girl has fallen in love and has been deceived by some man's flowery words? Is she running to meet him in the middle of the night? Could it be that Zi Feng, Taoist Tong? "
"No, no, Zi Feng is not from the Celestial Master Mansion. Now that His Majesty is living here, no matter how great his ability is, he won't be able to sneak in. It must be a man in the mansion. Other than the Taoist master Zhang, everyone else in the mansion are servants. This little girl …"
When Yang Ling thought of this, he could not hold it in anymore. He immediately jumped out from his hiding place and ran to the pavilion. He listened carefully. There was no movement inside and there were no lights either. It seemed like she had entered the back room.
Yang Ling tiptoed and pushed open the door. He was about to look around when suddenly a black shadow flashed out from behind the door. Yang Ling was shocked. Just as he was about to curl up and retreat, the black shadow threw out a cloud of fog. Yang Ling sniffed it and felt dizzy. He fell head first.
The tranquil moonlight sprinkled on the ground like a dream. The black shadow quietly bent down. A pair of bright eyes were like the stars in the sky, "Ha, so it's this guy. Scared me to death. I thought it was my brother who caught up."
Zhang Fubao pouted and muttered, "This stinky guy is not sleeping in the middle of the night. What is he doing secretly following me?"
She tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she squatted down and grabbed Yang Ling's sleeves. Like dragging a dead dog, she dragged him to the back hall …
※ ※ ※
Yang Ling woke up and was surprised to find himself in a strange place. There was a faint gurgling sound in his ears. There was a faint red light flashing in the room. It seemed that there was a stove burning not far away. Then he found himself lying on a cold stone platform. His body was tied tightly with ropes.
Yang Ling was shocked, turning his head with great effort to look around. He saw an object that looked like a stove to his right, with a roaring fire burning beneath it. There was a small object that looked like a copper cauldron on the stove. Zhang Fubao sat in front of the stove, her hand resting on her chin as if she was waiting for the copper cauldron to boil. The red glow of the fire reflected on her pretty face, rosy like peach blossoms, and her long eyelashes seemed to blink clearly.
Yang Ling could not help shouting, "Hey, Fu Bao, why are you tying me up? What are you doing here? Let me go."
Zhang Fubao turned her head and said with a smile, "You're awake?"
She jumped up and walked to Yang Ling. She looked him up and down and said with a smile, "Why are you chasing me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? What are you up to? "
Yang Ling rolled his eyes and said, "I've slept too much during the day. I couldn't sleep for a while. I was watching the stars and the moon under the porch. I saw you sneaking around in your own house. I thought you were meeting your lover in the middle of the night. I was afraid that you would be deceived, so I chased you down."
Zhang Fubao blushed and said coquettishly, "Meet your ass. I'm a cultivator. How can I be as unbearable as you think?"
Yang Ling laughed dryly and said, "Taoist master is also a cultivator. Don't you have a house full of wives and concubines? Your sect does not forbid marriage. How would I know what you're doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Shh!" Zhang Fubao raised his index finger and carefully looked around. He said, "Lower your voice. Don't mess with me. I've studied it carefully. It's probably because I didn't grasp the timing well. The timing is just right. I'll tell you when I'm done."
As she spoke, she pulled a small box from the bluestone table. It must be the thing she had been carrying along the way. Zhang Fubao opened the box in front of Yang Ling. Yang Ling glanced inside and saw bottles and jars, candles, and sharp blades inside.
Looking at the mysterious smile on Zhang Fubao's face, Yang Ling's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, a strange image surfaced in his mind: a beautiful young lady wearing a pair of high-heeled boots, her round and fair thighs tightly wrapped in leather shorts that showed off her curves. She was wearing a tight-fitting leather top, holding a candle in one hand and a whip in the other, the image of a proud queen.
Yang Ling asked anxiously, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Fubao rolled her eyes at him impatiently and said, "I'll tell you later. Don't interrupt me now."
She lit the candles and placed the labeled bottles on the bluestone table. She picked them up one by one and looked at them. She said proudly, "If I knew this earlier, I would have used the herbs that father left behind. They were all ground into ointment. It saved me a lot of effort."
Yang Ling looked at her in confusion. He saw Zhang Fubao pick a few bottles of ointment and then excitedly run to the top of the stove. She opened the lid of the tripod and put something inside. When she was done, she closed the lid again and made the fire under the stove a little stronger. Then she walked back and clapped her hands. She smiled and said, "The time is just right. This time I'll definitely succeed."
Yang Ling understood a little and asked, "You're making pills?"
Zhang Fubao praised, "Smart!"
Yang Ling asked curiously, "Even if you want to make pills in the middle of the night, there's no need to be so sneaky. You didn't bring a single person with you. Although you're in your own residence, it's still not appropriate to do it in the middle of the night."
Zhang Fubao rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you know? I'm making the Immortal Pill that can help you become an immortal. Do you know that? But Big Brother doesn't believe in my secret technique. He's not even willing to let me use his herbs. Now that he's returned to the residence, in order to not let him find out, I can only abandon the pill room and come here to make pills. "
Yang Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Then you don't have to tie me up. This stone floor is so cold. Quickly let me go. I won't tell anyone."
Zhang Fubao said with a straight face, "No, what if you ruin my plans? Since you're here, it can be considered fate. When I'm done making the pill, I'll let you eat it first. After you eat the pill, I'll let you go. "
Yang Ling asked curiously, "Why do you want me to eat the immortal pill that you've painstakingly made?"
He thought of the red pill that Hongzhi Emperor had taken and couldn't help but struggle. "Quickly let me go. I don't want to become an immortal. Your pill might turn into something, don't harm me."
Zhang Fubao hurriedly comforted him. "It's not that easy to become an immortal. Of course, you have to go through repeated trials. Don't worry, the herbs I took are all rare treasures. Even if it can't be made into an immortal pill, it won't be harmful to people. Last time, I smashed the pill and mixed it with half-boiled water for you to eat. That's why you had a stomachache. This time, I won't make the same mistake again. "
When Yang Ling heard this, he said angrily, "What? I had a stomachache because I ate your pill? I won't eat it, I won't eat it anymore. It almost killed me. I won't tell anyone about you, okay? Quickly let me go. "
Zhang Fubao's little face couldn't help but turn red. He laughed dryly and said, "I only made a mistake for a moment. You saved my life in Suzhou, that's why I asked you to try the pill. If it was an ordinary person, I wouldn't have been willing. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Listen to me."
Yang Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, no matter how he threatened or tempted, Zhang Fubao just wouldn't agree to let him go. After a while, the fire raged. It seemed that it was the crucial moment of refining the pill. Zhang Fubao anxiously ran back to stare at the pill furnace and continuously adjusted the fire. He didn't have time to respond to Yang Ling. Yang Ling could only wait patiently.
Taking advantage of this time, he looked around and realized that the house was built according to the terrain. Half of it was man-made and the other half was natural. The left half was leaning against the mountain. A clear spring flowed into a small pond made of stone and then flowed to an unknown place. The room was relatively simple and crude. It seemed to be a room specially used to refine pills.
After an hour, Zhang Fubao extinguished the fire. There was only the faint light of the candle left in the room. Yang Ling nervously asked, "You've succeeded?"
Zhang Fubao didn't even turn her head. She stared at the pill furnace and said with an uncertain tone, "It should be … almost done."
She waited for a while, waiting for the pill furnace to cool down. She opened the lid and took out a ceramic plate from inside. She hurriedly ran to the stone bed and observed it under the candlelight. Yang Ling also stared at it with wide eyes. After looking for a while, he doubtfully said, "Fu Bao, are you sure you put in a pill? Why does it look like a poached egg? "
Zhang Fubao knitted her delicate eyebrows and said strangely, "It shouldn't be. This kind of strange thing has never happened before. How could a pill be like this?"
She carefully touched it with her finger. It was soft, white and yellow. It really looked like a poached egg on a plate, and it was even half ripe. Zhang Fubao laughed dryly, "Could it be that the Heaven and Earth Divine Pill has always looked like this?"
When Yang Ling saw her eager gaze looking at him, he hurriedly said, "I won't eat it, I won't eat it. I won't eat it. If you want to eat it, you can eat it yourself. I don't want to be your experiment anymore. Wu … wu …"
Zhang Fubao's hands and eyes were quick. She took advantage of the time when he was talking non-stop to pick up a poached egg and stuffed it into his mouth. She said with a smile, "Who told you to not sleep properly and run over to watch me concoct pills? When we concoct pills, there should be someone to test the medicine. Do you really think it's Shennong tasting a hundred herbs? If you eat it yourself, how will you record and observe the situation after taking it? This medicinal ingredient really isn't poison. Don't worry. If you become an immortal, don't forget that it's my contribution. "
The thing melted in his mouth. It was soft and fragrant. He had already swallowed it smoothly. Even if Zhang Fubao didn't cover his mouth just now, he wouldn't be able to spit it out. Yang Ling said hatefully, "Become an immortal? If I become a ghost, I definitely won't forget your contribution. I'll follow you day and night. "
Zhang Fubao shrank her shoulders in fear. She nervously said, "Don't say it, don't say it. It's scary. How do you feel right now?"
"I don't feel … feel …" Yang Ling suddenly became nervous halfway through his sentence. "Quickly let me go. Quickly let me go. I … I'm going to have a stomachache again."
"Ah?" Zhang Fubao was shocked. She said in annoyance, "Is this Jade Disc True Scripture really an unorthodox method? It's a good tonic, how did it become a laxative? "
Yang Ling angrily said, "Quickly let me go. Otherwise … Otherwise, you'll have to clean up this room."
When Zhang Fubao heard this, her face turned red. She hurriedly untied the rope for him. She let go of the rope and said with a red face, "Quickly get out. The toilet is at the end of the right turn. Quickly go. Don't dirty my pill room."
Yang Ling sat up and laughed. He said proudly, "You stinky girl. You don't know anything at such a young age. What pill refining? Become an immortal? You've been tricked, haven't you? I'm completely fine. If I didn't do this, would you let me go? "
When Zhang Fubao heard this, she was angry and annoyed. She stomped her feet and said, "Anyway, you'll be fine after eating it. Just treat it as if you really ate a poached egg. I won't look for you to test medicine in the future. You're not allowed to mention it to my brother."
"You … Why are you staring at me like a tiger watching its prey?" Zhang Fubao wanted to make fun of him, but Yang Ling's gaze was a little too scary. She couldn't help but take a step back.
In this moment, Yang Ling's face was as red as if it had been painted with vermillion. His eyes were frighteningly bright. Zhang Fubao looked at him in fear and asked nervously, "You … What do you feel? Don't tell me … You have a stomachache again?"
Yang Ling felt like his stomach was like a stove, roasting his whole body until his blood was boiling. A strong desire hit his mind. In the dark room, there was only a beautiful girl who was as timid as a little sheep in front of him. That kind of willpower was even more difficult to persevere. He said in a hoarse voice, "I feel that my stomach is very hot, as if there is a fire burning. It's so hot."
When he said this, he felt that his lower body was as hard as iron and as erect as an angry frog. Unexpectedly, a thought flashed through his mind, "Did this little bastard refine the elixir into an aphrodisiac?"
The medicinal materials that Zhang Fubao used were originally tonic with strong medicinal properties. Moreover, the medicinal materials that she stole from her brother were almost used up. Today, those bottles and jars were all medicinal materials that she secretly pried open from the medicine cabinet that her father gave her. These medicinal materials were refined and extracted by the Taoist Master of the previous generation, and their medicinal properties were several times stronger than before.
The Taoist Master had six or seven wives and concubines. Among those medicinal materials, there were quite a few medicinal materials that enhanced sexual properties. In order to deceive others, after refining the ointment, he casually put the names of other medicinal materials on it. Only he himself knew what was really inside. Zhang Fubao didn't know about it, so she took them and used them. The great tonic that enhanced the efficacy of the medicine by several times, coupled with the medicinal materials that enhanced sexual properties, became a tiger and wolf medicine that could almost destroy a person's willpower.
Zhang Fubao didn't know the clues. Hearing him say that his stomach was like a raging fire, and seeing his ruddy face, as if he was a hundred times more energetic, she couldn't help but be surprised and happy. She said, "Could it be that this time the elixir is really effective? Let me take a look. "
She was young, and in her surprise, she forgot the difference between men and women. She reached out and touched Yang Ling's lower abdomen. Her jade-like hands were soft, and Yang Ling moaned. He couldn't restrain himself anymore and hugged her body. Zhang Fubao was shocked and hurriedly pushed, "What are you doing? Let me go. "
Yang Ling was like a tiger pouncing on a sheep. How could Zhang Fubao's thin body push him away? As the two of them struggled, one of the candles on the board was kicked off, and the room became even darker. Yang Ling's hot breath blew on Zhang Fubao's face, scaring her out of her wits. Zhang Fubao struggled with all her might and cried, "Let me go, let me go, I won't dare to do it again."
Yang Ling hadn't lost his mind, but his strong desire had weakened his will. Zhang Fubao's crying and struggling gave people a kind of destructive desire, especially since her body was slightly thin, light and soft.
Yang Ling's fiery big hands had already torn open the top of her Daoist robe and touched her soft and tender shoulders and collarbone. There was a kind of ecstatic bony beauty. Driven by his desire, he exonerated himself, "This isn't my fault. She made the aphrodisiac herself and forced me to take it. Even if I took her, I don't feel guilty."
Yang Ling leaned over and kissed her fragrant and soft lips. Zhang Fubao's body shook, and two lines of regretful and frightened tears stained her cheeks. She struggled, but she couldn't make a sound. The tip of Yang Ling's tongue had already entered her mouth, and a big hand was rubbing her tender and small breasts.
Zhang Fubao's body stiffened, and the places he touched had a layer of goosebumps. Her lips were small and soft, and Yang Ling easily covered them. She closed her mouth tightly and kept making sounds of resistance. Yang Ling did his best to open her lips, but he couldn't go any deeper. His tongue could only move around her teeth.
But when his hand touched Zhang Fubao's chest, Zhang Fubao couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Yang Ling's tongue immediately went in. Little Fu Bao's pupils contracted, and her breathing began to quicken. The two candles on the bluestone bed swayed back and forth in the breeze caused by the two people's struggle, as if they were also struggling.
Her little tongue was soft and soft, and kept retreating under Yang Ling's teasing until it was unavoidable. Zhang Fubao's stiff body began to relax, and her face was like a ripe red apple. It was unknown whether it was because she was suffocating or because she was shy, but her mind also became hazy.
When she suddenly felt Yang Ling's hand reach between her legs, Zhang Fubao's body was touched, and her body suddenly trembled and woke up. She shouted, and raised her slender long leg, and her knee hit Yang Ling's lower abdomen. Yang Ling let out a muffled groan, and the pain made him loosen his hand. Zhang Fubao took the opportunity to escape from under his body.
Yang Ling panted heavily as he chased after her. The two of them struggled for a while by the side of the pool, and then with a splash, they both fell into the water. The mountain spring water was extremely cold, and the mountain spring water in the winter was even colder. This time, Yang Ling's desire was washed away. He struggled to stand up from the water, and his body was dripping wet. However, his mind that had lost its reason due to the burning desire had woken up.
Zhang Fubao's hands and legs were weak as she climbed out of the pool. When she reached the edge of the pool, she no longer had any strength. She lay on the surface of the pool and quickly retreated to the corner. Her hands were tightly wrapped around her body, and the wet Daoist robe was stuck to her body. Her open chest revealed a bit of pink that hadn't fully matured yet. Zhang Fubao cried bitterly, and her pair of eyes looked at Yang Ling with fear.
Yang Ling came to his senses. Even though his lower body had not lost its strength, his rationality had gradually returned to normal. He clearly remembered what had happened. He had hugged her, kissed her petite mouth, caressed her breasts that were like pigeon breast, and …
"I'm scared, what should I do? How could I carelessly violate the Little Heavenly Master? If this girl cries out, how can I face the emperor and the Heavenly Master? "Yang Ling stood in the cold spring water, and his mind quickly turned.
Suddenly, he angrily roared, "Shut up!" In order to increase his momentum, Yang Ling raised his leg and kicked out, sending a splash of spring water flying. Zhang Fubao's sobs turned into sobs. She fearfully looked at Yang Ling, not daring to raise her voice.
"Look at you!" Yang Ling angrily pointed at Zhang Fubao and righteously said.
Zhang Fubao looked at him in shock. Yang Ling came out of the pool with a splash. He picked up a corner of his robe and wrung out the water as he angrily said, "How old are you? What do you know? You're just a child. Although you're not an adult yet, you're still a girl. You didn't listen to your brother's words and randomly refined some pills. You actually refined an aphrodisiac, hmph! "
He angrily flung his robe, scaring Zhang Fubao so much that she trembled. She let out a sob and didn't dare to cry out.
"I'm a dignified State Duke, an official of the imperial court. You actually used me to test medicine. If something bad happens, even if your brother is the Heavenly Master, can he protect you? The result will be your brother being deposed and you being sent to the court as a demon. The Dragon Tiger Sect's thousand year foundation will be destroyed in a day! "
His finger was pointing at the tip of Zhang Fubao's nose. Zhang Fubao was so scared that she tightly leaned against the wall and didn't dare to make a sound as he scolded her. Yang Ling saw that she was scared and let out a long sigh. He softened his voice and said, "Even if nothing big happens, think about it, if this news gets out … … Hmm? You, a girl, gave me an aphrodisiac. Your entire life will be ruined, and you'll even drag down my reputation! "
"I'm … … I'm sorry … …" Zhang Fubao said shyly.
Yang Ling waved his hand magnanimously and said, "In the future, you mustn't believe in evil and unorthodox doctrines anymore. Don't try to become a deity or a Buddha in vain. That kind of opportunity is something that can only be encountered by chance and not sought for for great monks and successful cultivators. Forget it, you're still a child who hasn't grown up yet. You didn't make any big mistakes, so I won't argue with you. "
He stomped his feet and said, "I'll go back to my residence now. You should pack up and leave as well. Hmm … … Don't worry. Although you did something wrong, I won't tell anyone about what happened today."
Zhang Fubao wiped her tears and said gratefully, "Thank you. I won't dare to do it again."
Yang Ling nodded and said magnanimously, "It's good to know one's mistakes and correct them. Fu Bao, you better take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Yang Ling walked out without looking back. He went around the back of the palace hall and came to the front hall. He opened the door and the moonlight poured into the room like water, followed by a cool breeze. Yang Ling shuddered, then secretly rejoiced, "Luckily this lass is still young, and I can scare her. If she were to just cry and shout, and really attract the attention of others, who would believe his own words?"
Yang Ling stuck out his tongue and ran away.
Zhang Fubao's long hair was messy and her face was full of water droplets. Her Daoist robe was torn to pieces and her undergarments were soaked through. She looked really embarrassing. Little Fu Bao fumbled around in her sleeve and took out the Daoist scripture that was made of jade pieces. She smashed it on the stones of the pond and threw it into the spring. Then, she covered her face and cried.
The spring water was still swaying, shaking her reflection. It was fragmented in the red candlelight … …
