There was no news about his junior sister, and no trace of Ying Sanjue, although Li Huaide didn't want to think about the possibility of his junior sister dying. But he made up his mind to find Ying Sanjue and kill him to avenge his junior sister.
To kill the three masters of Ying, he can't do it alone. If you become the emperor and use the power of the country, it will be much easier.
Li Huaide didn't want to die, and he didn't want tens of thousands of people under him to die because of his fault, so he gradually started to seriously manage the forces left by King Kang.
He felt: I am much better and kinder than the prince, than those lords, and the state of Zhou falls into my hands, and I will be the emperor, and the lives of the common people will always be better.
He also quietly sent someone to find his parents in the previous life, that is, the Li family and his wife, and took them to a state city in Zhou State, where they were raised by his father as a well-paid idle official.
After more than a month, Kang Wang's subordinates felt that the master had changed.
Kang Wang is smarter, more alert, and more capable than before. The most convincing thing is that Kang Wang has become generous, tolerant, and more like a king.
Although the former Kang Wang pretended to be a wealthy idler, he was vicious in private.
The current Kang Wang gives people the impression that he is a real person who has achieved the Tao, is really elegant, and really doesn't care about wealth and power. I live a simple life, and my opponents are generous and rewarded for their merits. The reward is several times richer than before.
And if the subordinates are at fault, although they will be punished, the punishment will be twice as light, and they will comfort them afterwards.
If it was said that it was for power and wealth in the past, many subordinates now feel that it is a blessing for Zhou Guo that King Kang becomes the emperor, and he will be a good emperor.
In the past, Kang Wang used conspiracy to force officials to surrender, but now he can use his personal charm to convince people.
In order to avoid Concubine Jiang, Li Huaide began to go out to socialize frequently, and hardly stayed at home.
More and more people with lofty ideals gathered under him, willing to work for him.
The originally mediocre Kang Wang gradually gained the reputation of a virtuous king in the court and the opposition.
Not to mention that Li Huaide played the role of the virtuous king, Yu Qingyao went down the mountain, took Wuzhen, and traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, hooking up three times and four times, and slowly came towards Luoyi.
In the evening, Yu Qingyao came to a river.
She jumped off the paper horse and was about to use the fog driving technique to cross the river when a beautiful woman came out from the tea shed by the river and said, "Guest, have a bowl of tea!"
Yu Qingyao gave a light sigh and looked at the woman. In the night, the woman's face was pale and her lips were so pale that no blood was visible. He looks sad, his clothes are like silk, and there are silver hairpins on his head.
A mysterious smile appeared on Yu Qingyao's face, she turned and walked towards the woman.
Standing on her shoulders, Wu Zhen, who was painted in red, sighed, and muttered, "I've never seen such a stupid idiot."
Seeing Yu Qingyao approaching, the woman showed joy on her face, and while leading Yu Qingyao into the tea shed, she shouted: "Mother Zhang, there are guests here, hurry up and serve good tea!"
Yu Qingyao followed into the tea shed and looked around the shed.
The shed is very simple, with a grass shed on the top, and the walls are surrounded by bamboo strips. There are two heavy wooden tables in the shed. Beside the table are four stools.
A wrinkled old woman in brown clothes and a headscarf came out with a copper pot, and placed a white porcelain bowl on the table without humming.
She took a pinch of tea leaves from the tea pot on the table and poured them into a bowl, then picked up the pot and poured a bowl of boiling water.
Yu Qingyao sat on the table, put her chin on her face and said with a smile, "Grandma, the water is too hot."
The old woman said quietly: "It won't be hot in a while."
Yu Qingyao looked around and said, "Grandma, your business is not good! No one came!"
The woman laughed and said: "There is no way, the man in the family is dead, we mother and daughter can only rely on this tea shed to chat for a living."
Yu Qingyao smiled and said: "You should find a pier with a lot of people, there are too few people passing by here."
The woman laughed and said, "We want to too, but we don't have the money to move!"
Yu Qingyao smiled and said: "Really? If you sell the silver hairpin on your head, won't you be rich?"
The woman's complexion changed slightly, and she covered her face with her sleeve and said, "This is the last thought left by my husband, and I can't bear to sell it."
Yu Qingyao stared at the silver bracelet protruding from her wrist, and said, "You can also sell silver bracelets."
Cold sweat broke out on the woman's face, and she forced a smile and said, "This is a relic given to me by my mother, and I am not willing to sell it."
Yu Qingyao groaned, and suddenly said: "Really? The gold ring in your hand can also be sold."
The woman gaped.
The old lady said quietly: "Guest, the tea is cold, you can drink it and go on the road."
Yu Qingyao said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, by the way, do you have melon seeds?"
The old lady shook her head and said, "This shop doesn't sell those things."
Yu Qingyao sighed, and said, "It's not good for you to open a shop like this. How much money can you make selling big bowls of tea? Selling melon seeds and snacks is the big money."
The old lady lowered her head and said, "The guest is right, please drink tea!"
Yu Qingyao picked up the tea bowl, and the woman and the old lady showed treacherous smiles on their faces, waiting for her to drink tea expectantly.
Yu Qingyao suddenly said: "By the way, I just forgot to ask, how much is a bowl of this tea?"
The woman hurriedly said: "It's not expensive, it costs a penny a bowl."
Yu Qingyao said in embarrassment: "Too bad, I don't have any change with me, so I don't want to drink this tea."
The woman was anxious, and hurriedly said: "How can this be done? The tea is already steeped, so what if you don't drink it?"
Yu Qingyao took a piece of silver ingot from her sleeve, and said innocently: "Then, can you find it?"
The woman was depressed, and looked at the old woman helplessly.
The old lady said quietly: "Guest, you just gave us a good idea. We will also sell some melon seeds in the future. I will give you this tea."
Yu Qingyao smiled and said, "How embarrassing?"
The woman regained her composure, smiled and said, "It's okay, you can drink it!"
Yu Qingyao said leisurely: "That won't work, you are pitiful enough, how can I take advantage of you?"
The woman was speechless.
Wu Zhen became impatient and said, "Master, you are enough, I'm hungry!"
After finishing speaking, she flew down Yu Qingyao's shoulder and swallowed the old woman in one gulp.
The woman was taken aback, showing a terrifying grimace with bleeding from all seven orifices, and flew away, her figure quickly faded away.
Wu Zhen catches up and swallows that beautiful woman in one gulp.
The teahouse immediately turned into green smoke and dissipated.
Yu Qingyao found herself standing among the reeds. She laughed and said, "Ah Zhen, you are too impatient."
Wu Zhen rolled her eyes and said, "It's just two water reckless ghosts, what's the fun?"
Shuimang is a poisonous weed that grows in the river, and it looks like tea after frying. People who eat water mang and die will become water mang ghosts. The two women in the tea shed just now are water mang ghosts. They can't be reincarnated unless they trick people into eating water mangcao and dying.
Yu Qingyao didn't notice them at first, but Wu Zhen didn't bother to pay attention when she found out. Unexpectedly, they didn't know how to live or die, but took Yu Qingyao as a target, trying to trick her into drinking the tea made by Shui Mang.
That's why Wu Zhen called them idiots at the beginning, it was just looking for death.
