Chapter 123 Qin Muye, you should get a divorce soon so I can take over
After the prisoners were handed over and Wang Meng's troops were sent away, the army set out again back to Beijing.
After listening to how Qin Muye sent away the monsters, Qin Mingyu couldn't help but praise him again and again: "Aunt wrote to you before, saying that you learned a lot of useful things from her in dealing with people. We were worried at the time, but we didn't expect that brother had already surpassed aunt in this aspect. This time, you really did a great job in repelling the enemy!"
Qin Muye was originally quite happy to brag, but when he heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly: "Why do I feel like you are cursing me?"
Qin Mingyu smiled and waved her hands: "Actually, my aunt is quite experienced in controlling her subordinates. My father and my sixth uncle can't compare to her in this regard."
"That's true."
Qin Muye nodded in agreement.
To be honest, this is not a bad point.
There are a lot of young masters in the imperial guards, but all those who have been led by Qin Yanying obey her orders. Even if their families do not allow them to get too close to Qin Yanying, they will come to her house to give gifts during festivals.
Whenever they meet me, they call me "Major General".
If you can do this, you can't be a bad boss.
Qin Mingyu was quite surprised.
She originally respected Qin Muye only because of his brother status and his previous bone marrow donation.
But in fact, she didn't know Qin Muye that well.
When she was young, she was not interested in studying and always followed her second aunt and sixth uncle to the military camp.
There is naturally no friction.
Because I can’t say I’m that familiar with it.
My impression of him basically comes from the description of his family, who only think that he is a mediocre and weak person.
But today, it is not the case at all.
The Qin family needs strong people, no matter what aspect.
It is obvious that Qin Muye is definitely not weak.
The fact that he just repelled the enemy was enough to prove that his courage and wisdom were far beyond the reach of his ordinary peers.
"That's right, brother!"
Qin Mingyu suddenly thought of something: "I heard that this time, the grandson of the Grand Master was killed. Although this guy deserved the punishment, but... the Grand Master was quite upright throughout his life, but he owed too much to his children and grandchildren, so it is hard to take it lightly.
I heard from my father that before Your Majesty ascended the throne, he wanted to learn from the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan, but he tried every trick in the book, and the Grand Master ignored him. As a result, he scolded the Grand Master of the Imperial Clan's son and was immediately beaten half to death.
This time you return to Beijing, I’m afraid…”
"I get a headache when you mention this!"
Qin Muye rubbed his head and said, "Why don't we not talk about this for now and think of a solution when we are almost in Kyoto."
Qin Mingyu nodded and said, "Okay! My sister-in-law must be feeling unwell. Brother, please take good care of her. I'll go out and ride the horse for a while!"
"Ok!"
Watched Qin Mingyu get off the car.
Qin Muye held Bai Yuji's hand and carefully glanced at her pale cheek: "You..."
"do not speak!"
Bai Yuji hugged Qin Muye in his arms and closed her eyes tiredly.
Maybe this is the consequence of falling in love with your enemy's son!
When there was a life-and-death crisis outside, she could only worry about his safety, and occasionally she had the leisure to feel jealous.
But after everything is over, there is nowhere to put the memories of the past.
Especially after learning that he was going to meet Qin Kaijiang soon.
The scenes of the tragic deaths of my parents and relatives kept popping up in my mind.
This feeling of being torn apart made her feel like she was dying.
After leaning on Qin Muye's arms for a long time, she whispered, "Muye! Tell me everything tonight, okay?"
Qin Muye was silent for a long time, and could only nod: "Okay!"
He felt like cursing.
He wasn't very confident in the first place, and he had narrowly escaped death several times, so he could still play the sympathy card and calm her down.
As a result, Qin Kaijiang's visit to Kyoto directly increased the hatred value.
No matter what, Qin Kaijiang was the one who killed his entire relative's family.
This is the knot between the two that is difficult to resolve.
It depends on what happens tonight.
If you delay, the consequences will only be worse.
……
"Empress! Are you okay?"
Pu Mingzhu touched Li Xingluo's forehead worriedly.
Just now, when Qin Mingyu got into the car with her brother and sister-in-law, she noticed that Li Xingluo was not in a good state.
Anger surged, causing the true energy in his body to fluctuate.
This is definitely not a good sign for someone who has just broken through to the Grandmaster level.
"fine!"
Li Xingluo closed his eyes and uttered two words briefly.
Pu Mingzhu was somewhat indignant: "Qin Muye is such a bastard. If he is so afraid of his wife, why did he tease you like that in private? Princess, don't be angry, I will..."
"Mommy!"
Li Xingluo opened his eyes: "My liking for Qin Muye is my private matter. As an elder, you'd better not interfere."
Pu Mingzhu: “…”
An "elder" made her feel a little helpless.
He just felt more and more pity for her: "Princess Di! If you like me, then go and get me. You deserve everything. Don't waste your energy and hurt your body..."
Li Xingluo forced a smile: "Got it! Mammy, I want to be alone for a while."
"Ok!"
Pu Mingzhu nodded helplessly, patted the back of Li Xingluo's hand gently, and then got out of the carriage with a worried look on his face.
After she got out of the carriage, Li Xingluo immediately put up talisman paper to isolate the aura.
then.
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Looking at the bloodstains on the palm of her hand, her mood suddenly became extremely heavy.
She could feel that something was wrong with her.
From the moment I broke through to the Grandmaster level, the desire in my heart was like a mad wild horse, trying desperately to break free from the reins.
appetite.
Killing desire.
Will to survive.
Desire between men and women...
These desires eroded her mind, constantly releasing greed, anger, ignorance and hatred.
Originally, she just felt that she had no way to retreat and had to get all the power she could get, so she took the risk and let the second strand of totem source energy guide her cultivation.
But now, she felt a little regretful.
These desires were so strong that they frightened him.
Holding his chest.
Her body trembled constantly, and she tried her best to restrain herself and not be driven by desire.
But if we compare them to a flood, then one's own will is like a floating boat.
too difficult!
Just when she was about to lose her mind.
Suddenly, I felt a stream of clear water flowing from my chest straight to my forehead, and I instantly became much more awake.
"Ok?"
Li Xingluo's eyes lit up: "Little spirit, are you awake?"
The child's voice was a little weak: "Well! Don't take me to fight in the future. I am studying and can't stand this."
Li Xingluo was a little apologetic: "I didn't expect to get into a fatal fight. I will be more careful next time. By the way, how did you do it just now?"
The child's voice was somewhat speechless: "You don't even know your own situation, yet you dare to easily release the totem source energy. You really want to die!"
Li Xingluo smiled bitterly.
If she had a choice, she wouldn't want to do this.
It was too difficult to break through to the Grandmaster level, and she was in this situation, so she didn't dare to delay.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "What's the price for helping me stabilize my mind? If possible, I hope you can help me more."
The child’s voice immediately refused: “Relying too much on external forces will only make your will more and more fragile. External forces will eventually run out, and sooner or later I will not be able to protect you anymore.”
"But……"
Li Xingluo had no idea what was going on. Normally, she could remain normal most of the time.
But staying normal does not mean there is no emotional backlog.
Once it reaches a safe place, it will come back to you in multiples.
Like just now.
She was sure...
She was quite certain that she had no romantic feelings for Qin Muye, and that inexplicable possessiveness mostly came from her desire to make him completely hers.
After all, this person may be the only one he can rely on.
But if this is the case, I should proceed step by step and be measured in my advances and retreats.
Acting affectionately may be effective, but it can appear frivolous and carry high risks.
The best approach should be to respect this young couple.
Then he secretly aroused Qin Muye's feelings, and when the two of them divorced, everything would be fine on his side.
But I can't control my own behavior.
Only afterwards did she realize that she seemed to be provoking Bai Yuji subconsciously.
She would also feel angry and jealous because Qin Muye found Bai Yuji and asked for a hug.
This is absolutely not true.
and so.
Li Xingluo was very doubtful whether he could use his reason to resist the totem source energy.
The child was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Do you know what your problem is?"
"where?"
Li Xingluo was cheered up. As long as he found the crux of the problem, there would be hope of finding a solution.
Hearing what Xiao Qi Ling said, he must have found the problem.
The child coughed twice and said seriously, "You have read too little!"
"what?"
Li Xingluo was a little embarrassed: "What does this have to do with studying?"
The little spirit asked: "What is the totem source qi? It is nothing more than the will of the human race. What does the will power do?" "What does it do?"
"Create a god!"
"Creating gods?"
Li Xingluo's eyes suddenly lit up. It was the first time she heard such a novel statement.
The little spirit spoke eloquently: "In prehistoric legends, humans lived in the wilderness and used their willpower to support totems. This was because they needed supreme power to protect their tribe, so after absorbing the willpower, the ferocious beasts would become powerful and their temperaments would become docile.
Later, the human race gradually gained the ability to protect themselves, the dynasty was initially formed, external threats gradually decreased, internal frictions began to increase, and became extremely difficult to reconcile.
So the totem gradually became a symbol, and people hoped that a wise man would appear among the human race to eliminate the suffering in the world and give them some spiritual comfort.
Although there are not many records in history books, I still found some clues. From the establishment of tribes to the establishment of dynasties, there should have been many sects. The leaders of these sects replaced the position of totems and absorbed power for cultivation.
Later, when dynasties were established, royal power annexed religious power, and "power of vows" disappeared.
It was not until the establishment of the Great Sage Temple and local virtuous temples more than 20 years ago that clues began to reappear. It was also at that time that the totem source qi began to appear in records.
So you should understand that the function of totem source energy is to create gods!
The sky and the earth are vast, and the universe is boundless.
What people can feel are nothing more than objects and mind.
The former creates the totem's supreme power.
The latter creates virtuous and insightful wisdom.
These two are what is called divinity."
"I see!"
Li Xingluo was enlightened: "So when I refined the first strand of totem source qi, my perception of heaven and earth became extremely sharp. When I refined the second strand of totem source qi... No, desire can only be called animal nature, how can it be called divine nature?"
The child's voice was calm: "Only when you know your weakness can you know your strength, and only when you are used to seeing filth can you get rid of the false and retain the true."
Li Xingluo's eyes lit up: "You mean, as long as I see through desire, I can overcome everything?"
"In theory, it's absolutely correct."
"What about actually?"
"Actually, I haven't seen it anyway."
The child shook his head and said, "I don't know why people nowadays can't refine the totem source qi, and I don't know how you did it, and I don't know how those sect leaders did it.
But I know that those people are all dead.
If they really possessed divinity, they would surely attract countless people to believe in them. How could they be replaced by the dynasty?"
Li Xingluo: “…”
It seems that I am going to become a devil again.
The childish voice changed the subject: "But you won't form a sect either. If you just want to be self-disciplined, that shouldn't be a problem. By the way, what is your way of being a master?"
Li Xingluo was silent for a while: "I'm not sure, but the stronger my emotions are, the stronger my physique and true energy will be, and I feel... I can control other people's desires and emotions."
"It's consistent with my guess."
The child thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, what you need most now is to study and cultivate your mind. I will help you with what to study and how to study, but you must also find an opportunity to face all your desires.
I can't remember what you've been through, but I can feel that you live very cautiously and do everything very restrainedly. You think you know a lot, but in fact you don't understand yourself at all."
Li Xingluo felt that it looked down on him, but he still chose to believe it.
But she was a little worried: "But if I look directly, I'm afraid I will..."
The childish voice laughed and said, "Just look straight at me. I will store the pure energy in the jade pendant. If you feel that you are about to lose control, just call it up. I still have the ability to protect you for a while. I am a little tired, so I will go to study."
then.
It disappeared.
Li Xingluo called it a few more times, but there was no response.
She was silent for a long time before she whispered thank you.
"call……"
She let out a sigh and recalled what happened in Lingnan.
I feel more and more insignificant.
In the past, all the masters and experts stayed in Kyoto, practicing in seclusion, and almost none of them actually showed up.
The Princess's Mansion and the Crown Prince's Mansion seem to be in their heyday, with countless guests.
But now think about it, in my father's eyes, these may be no different from children playing house.
This time I came to Lingnan.
She finally realized how cruel this world was, and...how deep the water was.
In the past few days, several questions have been lingering in her mind.
Who is the Emperor of Tian in the Stealing Heaven Pavilion?
Where did he get that memory?
What was his purpose in giving me that memory?
Even if Li Xingluo was slow to react, he could guess that there was something wrong with his mother's family.
Li Hong had previously taught her the secret method of refining the totem source energy.
It is very likely that it is not a secret method at all.
But he originally possessed the ability to refine the totem source energy.
The inheritance from Li Hong's mother's family, as well as the time when the Great Sage Temple and the Xianliang Temple emerged, are enough to attract Li Hong's attention.
She even suspected that the Pu family had something to do with the "sect leader" that disappeared from Xiao Qiling's mouth.
What kind of deal is behind this?
And what is the meaning of my existence?
Resentment is growing.
Li Xingluo shuddered and quickly dispelled the negative emotions.
If you dwell on the past, you will only sink deeper into the mire.
She needs to make herself stronger now.
and also.
Get yourself enough allies.
She is not quite sure now that Qin Muye was not sent to her by Li Hong.
But she was sure that Qin Muye was the only person she could still trust.
take it easy.
However, she does not plan to take the initiative to contact Qin Muye in the next two days.
Because the experience of this trip to Lingnan was enough for her to think about the nature of desire.
at this time.
"Bang bang bang!"
Someone knocked on the door frame.
Pu Mingzhu's voice rang out: "Princess Emperor, it's getting dark. Qin Muye decided to rest at the post station ahead."
"understood!"
Li Xingluo took a deep breath, then opened the door curtain and jumped onto his mount.
She glanced at the post station in the distance, kicked the horse lightly, and headed to the front of the caravan.
When passing by Qin Muye's carriage, she subconsciously glanced at him from the side.
Not to die.
The wind blew open the curtains.
She happened to see Bai Yuji sleeping on Qin Muye's shoulder.
His face suddenly froze.
He rode away quickly.
……
The post station is not very big.
There are only a few upper rooms.
But everyone brought tents, and soon the area around the post station was filled with them.
Except for the woman and the injured who fell from the flying boat, everyone else lived in tents.
of course.
Including those prospective college students.
Qin Muye did not abuse them and provided them with food, drink and accommodation.
After comforting them with Niu Pingtian, he went to find the old Annan soldiers to drink and eat meat.
Except for not talking to You Tianlie, the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.
The only thing that wasn’t so nice was that Bai Yuji was always distracted.
Qin Muye noticed that she was not in a good state, so he laughed it off, found an excuse and took her back to the room.
Just close the door.
Bai Yuji lay on the bed, her shoulders slightly shaking.
Qin Muye didn't say anything, just sat beside her and patted her back gently.
After a while.
Bai Yuji sat up with tears in her eyes: "Will you blame me for not acting like a mistress of the house?"
"no!"
"Really do not have?"
"Really do not have!"
Qin Muye gently held her hand: "I understand you!"
These Annan veterans are different from the Annan guards living at home.
Those Annan guards were all young people. When Nanzhao was destroyed, they were only in their teens and had never seen what Nanzhao soldiers looked like.
However, a considerable number of these Annan veterans must have participated in the war to destroy Nanzhao.
Some even had the blood of Bai Yuji people on their hands.
Hope that Bai Yuji can remain calm when facing them.
That would be too much to ask.
Qin Muye wanted to curse.
He could understand that Annan was adjacent to Lingnan, the Qin family was hostile to the evil officials, and he was the eldest son of the Qin family, so transferring people from the Qin family was indeed the best choice.
But Li Hong must also know how much of a shock this would cause to Bai Yuji.
He even added a critical hit of "Qin will open up new territories and come to Kyoto soon".
The debuff of "slaughtering the clan's enemies" is really difficult to remove.
He felt a little regretful, wondering why he didn't confront Bai Yuji earlier.
Now it feels a bit troublesome.
Bai Yuji looked pale and hugged Qin Muye tightly: "Muye, Muye! Tell me everything now, okay..."
Qin Muye just felt a tightness in his chest.
After struggling for a long time, he finally squeezed out a word from his throat.
"it is good!"
