55
Where the grand master was buried, the first spring rain fell, continuous and fine, continuous in the air, without stopping all day long.
My eyes were red and swollen from crying. From the day Grand Master died, whenever I thought about it, my tears would not stop falling. Mr. Wumin has been very silent. He understands me very well, so he didn’t come to comfort me. "Don't cry" nonsense.
When the grand master passed away, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wept bitterly, the whole country remained silent, and the spontaneous behavior of the people was even better than the death of the former emperor.
On the day of the burial, Mr. Wumin didn't have any expression on his face, but I think I can see what kind of emotion lies beneath the calm and unwavering.
It is really frustrating to say that Lord Wumin and I were not greatly touched when our father died, and Lord Wumin was even more indifferent, but when the Grand Master passed away, I felt a sense of confusion and astonishment.
Mr. Wumin used mud around the grand master's tomb, and finally squeezed out a grand master with sharp horns. He placed it next to the grand master's tomb, and said calmly: "At that time, the grand master looked very angry. I'm actually very happy."
I secretly covered my eyes with my sleeve, not daring to cry again in front of the officials.
On the way back, Lord Wumin and I took the same chariot, I saw Lord Wumin's hands were still stained with mud, and thinking of the Grand Master buried under the wet soil, I sobbed again, but Lord Wumin didn't say anything , Kiss away my tears gently.
I looked at him, he raised his hands and explained: "There is mud on your hands."
I threw myself into his arms and burst into tears.
***
After the grand master was buried, a new grand master had to be selected. There were several grand masters' favorite students, and Mr. Wumin preferred one named He Chen. He Chen was fifty years old this year, not too old. I have been diligent and conscientious, and I was not in the mood to think so much, so I asked him to be the Grand Master according to Lord Wumin's instructions. He Chen has no special features, the biggest feature is a red mole between his eyebrows.
I have never seen him before, and I only saw him after the Grand Master died. As soon as I met him, I felt that the red mole on his face was really impressive—it should be a beauty mole, a cinnabar mole...
The Grand Master has passed away, and there are more and more things to do. Mr. Wumin and I have to deal with it very late every day. It was not until about half a month later that I finally had the opportunity to sit down and have a good talk with Mr. Wumin. .
I told him what the grand master told me at that time, telling him how to be a good monarch, and said that the grand master just wanted to see Xiyang unify the four countries.
In the end, I told him what the grand master said before, and asked Mr. Wumin what was going on.
In the grand master's somewhat guilty words, what exactly does the so-called "past history" refer to
But even though the question is a question, I don't really expect Mr. Wumin to tell me.
I had the opportunity to know many times before, and I also asked Mr. Wumin, but Mr. Wumin either changed the subject or was perfunctory, including in the secret room. This time he seems to have no reason to tell me.
But to my surprise, Mr. Wumin thought for a while, and said: "The Grand Master thinks too much, I never blamed him, on the contrary, I am very grateful to him."
I said: "Oh..."
Lord Wumin said: "Aren't you very curious before, where did my injury come from? And why I know so much about that secret room... In fact, before I was ten years old, I couldn't even walk except at the beginning, and I lived all my life since then. there."
I never thought of this possibility, and my eyes widened: "I've been living there...?"
No wonder he is so familiar with it, but he has been living there, wouldn't he go crazy...
Lord Wumin said: "As for the injury, it was caused by the grand master's 'my brother'. He called..."
Lord Wumin thought for a while, and said, "His name is Lord Wumin."
I was even more baffled: "Both of you are named Lord Wumin? Is the former emperor so unwilling to choose a proper name?"
Lord Wumin smiled, and said: "That's not the case, but there can only be one Lord Wumin in this world."
I was puzzled: "Well...you continue."
"The first emperor... is my father. When he was the prince, he had seven brothers. They struggled with each other to fight for the throne. In the end, he had no choice but to kill the rest of the brothers... Of course, there are one or two other brothers. People killed each other by killing each other. Therefore, my father made up his mind that for the peace of the palace and the peace of the people, there is only one prince, and only the queen will give birth to him. The reason why I only have sisters is because if other people give birth to a boy... directly strangled to death by the midwife."
I took a deep breath: "For the sake of the so-called righteousness, to do such an inhumane thing..."
Lord Wumin said: "Well, maybe it's because of this, people are not as good as heaven, my mother finally conceived, and finally gave birth to twins. My brother was born earlier, and I was born later. My father originally wanted to give birth to I strangled to death, but finally decided to hide my existence, and if my brother had any accidents, I would replace me. So I and my brother have the same teaching master and martial arts master, but I can only live in In the secret room. The only ones who know of my existence are my father, the grand master, and two masters. As for my mother, she died due to dystocia... about two children, it is too embarrassing."
"Later, my elder brother found out about my existence and thought I was a great threat, so he followed my master when he came to teach me kung fu. Although the master was strong in martial arts, he didn't have the heart of a martial artist. He thought my brother would be a The emperor, so he not only promised him to come, but also helped him deal with me with the penalty invented by Liu Shan. Of course, he didn't dare to do it himself, but I just used some strength when I was struggling. My father also knew, but he didn't stop it, just When my brother wanted to use 'cut ears' against me, he stopped him, because if I lost one ear, I would look different from my brother, if not, how could I be a stand-in?"
Mr. Wumin's tone was indifferent, and even the tone of the storyteller was more upbeat than his, but I listened to it and even breathed carefully, as if something in my heart was being twisted hard, and the pain convulsed.
"Later, when I was ten years old, I killed him, and that Lord Wumin died, and I became Lord Wumin. Because I was relatively thin and had injuries on my body, my father announced to the public that I was sick and had recuperated for more than a month. Every day, ginseng and ganoderma will nourish the body, and eventually it will be the same as my brother. Later, I killed the master who taught me martial arts and used the moves he taught me. As for the gentleman who taught me knowledge, he actually didn’t have much Come on, all the ones who came here are grand masters. Grand masters are the best to me, at least better than anyone who knew me at that time."
It turned out that Lord Wumin's elder brother did not die suddenly, but Lord Wumin killed him.
I was not surprised at all, and even secretly glad.
Lord Wumin spread his hands and said, "The story is over."
I thought, how can this be a story, if possible, I would rather this is a completely false story.
I couldn't help but reached out and touched my left ear. Although the scar was not very obvious, once I touched it, I could still feel the bulge that was incompatible with the surrounding skin. Mr. Wumin pulled my hand down and said: " What kind of face is this... It's been so long, it's nothing. "
I felt a little wet in my eyes, and hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and said: "You were treated like this when you were a child, but you are only this level of pervert when you grow up, it is really pitiful."
Lord Wumin laughed: "Well, that's right."
I looked at Mr. Wumin, and felt a little uncomfortable. Mr. Wumin glanced at me, closed his eyes and pouted: "Kiss one?"
"..." Although I know he did it on purpose, I still feel that this way is a bit awkward.
I thought about it, and finally kissed him on the side of the cheek.

I used to really want to know what happened to Lord Wumin before, but after knowing it, I would rather not know.
Many neglected details in the past flooded in like a flood. For example, he said that he hid on the beam and eavesdropped on others. That was seven years ago, when he was twelve. And that time when he met an assassin in Dongyuan Country, he said, "Are you doubting my ability, huh? Since I was ten years old...".
He never said anything before the age of ten.
And the broken meals and hoarded candles in the Chamber of Secrets...
After I kissed Lord Wumin, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said: "Okay, it's been so long, I don't feel it in my heart, and I don't feel it when I say it, you don't have to think too much... we should think about it now Yes, how did you change your body?"
"Hmm." I nodded.
About ten days later, at night, a small figure jumped into the palm of his hand -- Baozi.
After Wumin-jun and I recognized it was Baozi, we held it with one hand and lit the lamp with the other, and saw a rope hanging around Baozi's neck, and a purse was worn on the rope.
Baozi pointed to his purse: "Squeak!"
I reached out, untied the rope, took off the purse, and poured out the contents, only to find a piece of paper and two pills.
It was written on that piece of paper: I have found my master, he gave me medicine, you take it, remember that only two people are together, if you take it, you can change your body, but it can only last for twelve hours. But you can take this opportunity to perform the ceremony of husband and wife.
The signature is Situ Youqing.
I gave the piece of paper to Mr. Wumin, held a pill in one hand, and looked at it under the lamp. Burned it directly, then leaned over and said, "This is it?"
Baozi puffed out his chest and said, "Squeak~"
Looks quite self-satisfied.
I was a little amused and said, "Wait a minute."
I got out of bed, unfolded the spare paper and pen next to me, grinded the ink, and wrote a few words with the pen: Thank you, I hope your master will never see you again.
Then put the piece of paper back into the purse and tied it around Baozi's neck. Baozi made a "squeak" and then sneaked away as quietly as when he came.
Mr. Wumin was still pinching his pill and looked at it carefully, and then said to me: "Don't take it now, let the imperial dining room bring a chicken and a duck tomorrow and feed them separately."
I said, "Are you afraid of being poisoned?"
Lord Wumin said lightly: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's better to be careful. What's more... since you can change your body, maybe it's also effective between chickens and ducks?"
I:"… "
"It's up to you..." I put two pills into the bottle and carefully collected them.
The next day, Mr. Wuming really asked the imperial dining room to send a chicken and a duck, and he also ordered a wooden cage. After sending the servants away, Mr. Wumin and I took our medicines separately. I put a little bit on it and fed it to the chickens and ducks - of course the chickens and ducks don't want to eat it, so I can only force it, I really...
After feeding, we quickly threw the chickens and ducks into the wooden cage, and then Mr. Wumin and I withdrew and wandered outside. After about a stick of incense, we returned to the Zhanggan Hall, opened the wooden cage, and put the chickens and ducks into the cage. The ducks were released and found both of them to be fine, and the wordless thing happened--
They were both panicking, croaking and looking at each other, and they were clearly walking in the wrong way, as if neither of them had adapted to the bodies they were using.
I couldn't laugh or cry: "It seems to be really useful, and the scope is not limited to people."
Lord Wumin nodded in satisfaction: "En."
In this case, the medicine is non-toxic and effective. For some reason, I feel a little uneasy, but Mr. Wumin is very happy, throwing the medicine back and forth in his hand, and said lazily to me: "Well, tonight Take the medicine, wash and wait for me."
I:"… "
"Wash your head, I've washed it, it's your body too..."
Lord Wumin: "..."
"Then I'll clean it up myself." Mr. Wumin replied with a gloomy face.
I turned my head in embarrassment and said, "Let's talk about it later..."
Lord Wumin smiled meanly, and just as he opened his mouth to say something, there was a hurried announcement from outside, saying that something happened in Pingyang.
It’s been two months since the Grand Master passed away. If another accident happened in Pingyang, it would be unbearable. Mr. Wumin and I hurried to the Princess’ Mansion, only to find out that she fell while walking, and Lu Shui was so angry at that time because of carelessness. Pingyang, so he was ordered not to follow up--Lu Sui was dumbfounded, but he really didn't follow up. When Pingyang wrestled, he fell directly to the ground.
The imperial doctor was still treating Pingyang inside, and Lu Sui was in the outer hall, his nervous face was wrinkled into a ball, Lord Wumin said coldly: "Pingyang came with you, and nothing good happened."
Lord Wumin was venting his anger, so I stopped him and finished the sentence for him: "Cough, this must be the last time, if there is a next time...you can go to the funeral."
Lu Li's expression changed suddenly: "The imperial doctor said that Pingyang will be fine."
I said: "Yes, but you have to accompany the child in Pingyang's belly."
Lord Wumin: "..."
Lord Wumin's anger subsided, and he sat down on a chair. After a while, the imperial doctor came out, saying that the adults and children were all fine, but that the fetus was a little gassy, and that he needed to recuperate for a few days. He also said that Pingyang now strongly urges Lu Sie to come in with us. .
After entering, seeing Pingyang lying on the bed with a slightly pale face, Pingyang didn't look at Lu Shuai, but said to me directly: "Brother Huang, I heard everything you said outside just now."
Me: "...um."
"Don't blame Lu Shuai, I lost my temper," Ping Yang said sadly, "You must not kill him, if the child is gone... there will be no accidents in the future, but if it is really gone... still You can work harder, but if Lu Shi is gone, there will be no more Lu Shu and the child... "
I:"… "
"Okay, okay, what a mess, I'll just talk about him." I comforted, "You have a good rest, this time you really have to be careful, people who have children are still angry all day long."
Ping Yang nodded.
There was nothing serious about Pingyang, and Lu Shui was also taught a lesson. After that, Pingyang took the initiative to say that he wanted to go back to live in the palace. Mr. Wumin and I thought about it. The things that can be used for recuperation are better than the princess mansion, and the imperial doctor is also close, so I agreed.
Pingyang and Lu Shui went back to the Pingqin Hall where they lived before, while I took Lord Wumin back to the Zhanggan Hall.
After dinner, Lord Wumin and I sent the servants away, and the two of us took the pill in the palm hall.
The pill entered the mouth, it was extremely bitter, I frowned and swallowed it, my body swayed and my head became dizzy, it felt a bit like drunk, but my consciousness was clearer than when I was drunk, as if someone was just grabbing You, swing left and right in the air, throw up and down. Gradually, I could not restrain myself from closing my eyes, and felt that my consciousness was getting more and more withdrawn, as if it had become something tangible, such as a wisp of smoke or a stream of spring water, quietly detached from my body .
Immediately afterwards, a strong suction came from the opposite side, I couldn't open my eyes, I could only be sucked by that suction uncontrollably, and there was also a push from behind, as if someone was pulling me while someone was pushing me , sending me to another body.
Slowly, I felt that everything had settled down, and my erratic and withdrawn consciousness gradually calmed down, and a warm current flowed into my consciousness, as if it was slowly fitting into this new body , the two are reintegrated into one.
After about a cup of tea, I felt much better and opened my eyes gently.
... Who is this person.
Isn't this person Pingyang? ! ? !
