Chapter 39

"Bang!" In a small restaurant in the capital, a gloomy-looking man smashed a wine glass.

　　"More than half of the 'White Shadow Guards' that my Fu family cultivated with great effort have been lost, and that dog emperor has not been hurt at all!" Fu Feipeng was angry and distressed.

　　"Alas, who would have thought that this tyrant king has so many capable people around him? We are the ones who rushed in recklessly this time. As a result, the three of us are in a very critical situation. Please come up with a solution as soon as possible!" Dong Xiuzhu said anxiously. He was timid to begin with. If Li Que hadn't cuckolded him so blatantly, he would never have had the heart to rebel. Now that Li Que was so powerful, he actually had the idea of ​​retreating.

　　"Prime Minister Dong, now the three of us are tied together!" Tonghu vaguely saw Dong Xiuzhu's cowardice and shouted decisively.

　　"Now it seems that we have no choice but to think of a big plan. If we continue to hide and play tricks like this, with Li Que's intelligence, he will definitely catch us all!" Tonghu said resolutely.

　　"That's right. I predict that Li Que will soon launch a large-scale search in the capital, and I can't stay in the capital any longer." Fu Feipeng said.

　　"You two, although our action failed this time, we only lost a shortcut to get rid of Li Que. Li Que's biggest weakness is that he usurped the throne, and the old emperor did not transfer the military forces of various places to him in a complete manner. Now the rotation of defenses in various places is in chaos. And my father has been recuperating in Nanzhou for many years, with hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers. Once an uprising breaks out, it will surely sweep across Daliang like a whirlwind. By then, all the Li clan members who are dissatisfied with Li Que will also rise up to respond. It is only a matter of time before Li Que is defeated. What is there to be afraid of now?!" Fu Feipeng finally calmed down and encouraged Tonghu and Dong Xiuzhu.

　　Dong Xiuzhu and the others understood what Fu Feipeng said, but they also understood that things were not as simple as he said. Daliang had been passed down for many years, and the world's importance lay in the capital. As long as the capital was firmly controlled by Li Que, there would be loyal and righteous people in the world who would march to the capital to defend the king. Therefore, Fu Feipeng had to rely on the two of them to do things secretly in the capital, and only by cooperating inside and outside could this shocking conspiracy be accomplished.

　　Dong Xiuzhu then said sternly, "Young Marshal, you are right. What we need to do now is to get you to leave the capital as soon as possible. Lord Tonghu and I will stay in the capital and secretly win over various forces, waiting to cooperate with you when the young marshal starts an uprising."

　　"Master Dong, I still have something worrying about me!" Fu Feipeng sighed.

　　"Young Marshal, I have a plan to break this!" Dong Xiuzhu said with a smile, as if he already knew what Fu Feipeng was thinking.

　　"What the young commander is worried about is nothing more than the Min family army of the great marshal Min Rou, which has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and is very powerful. If they are around, the young commander will not be able to accomplish anything. I have a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

　　"Kantqin, the king of the Xiongnu, is a man of great talent and strategy. He understands that our Daliang is strong. Unlike the mindless Tartars in the past who would only attack us, he made peace with us and annexed other grassland tribes to the north. But before that, Min Rou defeated 100,000 cavalrymen from the Xiongnu Amba tribe in Henjiang, and Amba is Kantqin's younger brother, so he can be considered to have a grudge against him. If we can meet with Kantqin secretly this time and agree to give him several small cities on the border and persuade him to lead a large army to feint an attack, we will surely be able to attract Min Rou to rescue. In this way, the capital will be empty, and the young marshal's army will be unstoppable, and hegemony can be achieved!"

　　"Great!" Fu Feipeng slammed the table hard after hearing this. Dong Xiuzhu's "luring the tiger away from the mountain" strategy was so vicious that it hit the vital point directly.

　　"Is this... a bit like inviting a wolf into the house?" Unlike Fu Feipeng's excitement, Tonghu was hesitant. He was also a brave general who fought on the frontier before, and he also had the ambition to defend his country. But now he was conspiring with others to collude with the enemy country and collude with the Xiongnu, the eternal enemy of Daliang. This really made him feel uneasy.

　　"Lord Tonghu, have you forgotten what happened between Min Rou and Li Que?" Fu Feipeng shouted upon seeing this.

　　Tonghu said nothing after hearing this, veins on his hands bulged, and his mind was filled with the scene of Min Rou leaving resolutely that day, and the scene of Min Rou and Li Que making love in bed.

　　"But my plan still lacks a reliable lobbyist. Kantqin is a suspicious person, and ordinary people may not be able to convince him." Dong Xiuzhu added.

　　"Oh my god!" At this time, Tonghu jumped up, "I, Tonghu, am loyal to the Li family, but the tyrant Li Que raped my wife, and the slut Min Rou threw herself into his arms. This hatred is irreconcilable! When I was guarding the border, I was also well-known among the Xiongnu people. I should be able to win the trust of Kanteqin."

　　"Hahaha, in this way, the three of us, one in Nanzhou, one in Xiongnu, and one in the capital, will make preparations accordingly. The cooperation is seamless, and Li Que will definitely be defeated!" After getting Tonghu's promise, Fu Feipeng became excited instantly, and his previous dejection disappeared.

　　…

　　Li Que didn't know that a conspiracy against him and Daliang had been launched. After returning to the palace, he first comforted his mother and Min Rou, and sent them back to their own palaces to rest.

　　He immediately called his two right-hand men, Su Xinhong and Chen Ying, and ordered them to block the entire capital and investigate the suspicious persons. At the same time, he speculated and tracked them based on their clothing, faces, and items they carried, to see if he could find out which force these assassins came from.

　　After finishing all this, Li Que finally had time to sit down and talk with his master's wife Ning Liu'er. At this moment, he suddenly received a report from Su Yuexin's attendant eunuch Changshan.

　　"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened. The Queen's... fetus is in trouble!" Changshan stumbled in. He had always been loyal to Su Yuexin, so his face was naturally filled with anxiety at this moment.

　　"What!" Li Que stood up suddenly. His mother Su Yue was carrying Li Que's first child, the fruit of his and his biological mother's love. He was looking forward to this child, the future pride of heaven, how could he allow this child to be lost!

　　"Don't panic, Que'er. Master's wife should go find your master right away. Your master is an expert in medicine. With her around, the Empress and the fetus will be fine." Ning Liu'er consoled.

　　So Li Que followed the young eunuch Changshan to the Weiyang Palace, only to see Su Yuexin lying on the phoenix bed with a pale face. Li Que hurried forward.

　　"Que'er... Wuuuu, what if we lose our child!" Su Yuexin's originally beautiful face was now filled with heartbreaking sorrow. She valued this child as much as Li Que did. Only by giving birth to this child for her own biological son Li Que could she truly confirm her identity as a wife.

　　"Don't worry, mother. My master, Guan Mou, will be here soon. Our child will be fine with him around." Li Que hurriedly comforted her.

　　After a while, Master's Wife Ning Liu'er indeed came hurriedly with Guan Mou.

　　"Master!" Li Que was about to salute, but Guan Mou waved his hand, indicating that seeing the patient was more important.

　　Guan Mou had always been a carefree person, indifferent to worldly matters. Even if it was his apprentice's mother, he would not have casually helped her. But for some reason, when Ning Liu'er told him that Su Yuexin and her son were in trouble, Su Yuexin's beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he decisively agreed, contrary to his usual behavior.

　　Guan Mou leaned against Su Yuexin's bed, and Su Yuexin stretched out her jade hand from under the quilt for him to feel her pulse. Guan Mou concentrated for a moment and found that Su Yuexin was fine, and the child was fine too, and only needed a medicine to protect the fetus and the spirit to take care of her.

　　The old Taoist priest who had always been pure and abstinent could not help but look up at Su Yuexin, but was disappointed to find that Su Yuexin's mature and plump body was completely covered by the silkworm cloud brocade quilt, without any extra skin exposed to her. Guan Mou turned around disappointedly, and was about to tell Li Que the truth, but he didn't know why he retracted his words when they came to his lips.

　　It is said that evil thoughts throughout one's life are like a dam suddenly collapsing; no matter how enlightened you are, you cannot avoid falling into it.

　　At this moment, Master Guan actually said to his disciple Li Que: "Disciple, your mother is too frightened and the situation is not optimistic. I cannot understand the true situation just by feeling her pulse. I need to find out several acupuncture points on the queen's body to understand it clearly."

　　Guan Mou's expression was so serious when he said this that one had to believe it. Li Que hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and immediately cursed himself for overthinking. How could a master like his master care about women?

　　So he nodded and said, "It's up to the master to arrange."

　　Little did he know that at this moment Guan Mou's heart, which had been silent for many years, began to beat poundingly. With trembling hands he uncovered the brocade quilt covering Su Yuexin's body, and the next moment his heart, which had been beating wildly, almost jumped out!

　　It turned out that Su Yuexin's towering, full and huge breasts stood majestically in front of him! On top of the breasts, the huge purple grapes became wet due to the overflowing milk, sticking to the thin bra, and Guan Mou immediately saw it clearly. He looked up at Su Yuexin again. Although her face was pale, she still smiled at him lightly to show respect, but the beauty's smiling charm had another meaning in the man's eyes.

　　Guan Mou lived for 180 years, but he had never seen such a beautiful breast with a maternal charm. His wife Ning Liuer was already a top beauty, and it could be said that her face was not inferior to Su Yuexin at all, but her figure was defeated by this peerless beauty queen.

　　At this moment, Guan Mou couldn't suppress his excitement and even wanted to put his hands on the big breasts regardless of everything.

　　"Brother Mou, let me do it." The voice of Ning Liu'er beside him made Guan Mou sober up in an instant. He could only watch Ning Liu'er awkwardly as she helped him perform press tests on Su Yuexin's body.

　　Ning Liu'er was so naive that she could not see the sudden change in her husband's behavior. After the examination, she said to Li Que calmly, "Que'er, you don't have to worry. Master's wife just checked and the queen is fine."

　　After that, he turned to Guan Mou and said, "Brother Mou, please prescribe the best prescription for the queen to preserve the pregnancy!"

　　Guan Mou had no choice but to say yes repeatedly.

　　After Guan Mou wrote the prescription, Li Que asked his mother to have a good rest, and he took his master and his wife to the main hall to discuss things.

　　"Master, this time my disciple was attacked by unknown assassins. It was thanks to you that you asked your master's wife to come and help me that I was able to escape." After knowing that his mother Su Yuexin was not seriously injured, Li Que had another idea in his mind, so he left Guan Mou to discuss it.

　　"No need to thank me, my disciple. This is the good fortune you deserve." Guan Mou replied uneasily.

　　"Master, I have a favor to ask. I would like to ask you to stay in my Daliang court and serve as the national teacher. As you know, Daliang is in a turbulent time right now. If I have a peerless master like you here, it would save me a lot of trouble. If you don't know when you will travel around again, I don't know when I can ask for your help." Li Que bowed respectfully and asked.

　　"This... Brother Mou is used to being idle, I'm afraid..." Before Guan Mou could say anything, Ning Liu'er spoke first. She claimed to know her husband very well and felt that Guan Mou would never stay.

　　Guan Mou was about to say something to decline the offer. But at this moment, the image of Su Yuexin's big, wet nipples dripping with milk suddenly came to his mind, so he replied, "Liu'er, don't say that. I'm willing to stay and help Que'er."

　　"That's really great!" Li Que said happily.

　　When Ning Liuer saw that her husband agreed, she naturally did not object as she always listened to her husband.

　　"By the way, Liu'er, why don't you take this opportunity to present to me the miraculous medicine you carefully prepared?" Guan Mou said again.

　　"Que'er, this is for you." Hearing her husband's words, Ning Liu'er obediently took out a small medicine bottle from her arms and handed it to Li Que.

　　"What is this?" Li Que asked curiously.

　　Ning Liu'er's pure face was rarely flushed with pride. "Que'er, this is the magic medicine 'Rejuvenation Pill' that I, your master's wife, personally made for you and your wives. The idea of ​​making this medicine came to me when I found that all the concubines in your harem, including the queen, were mature women around 40 years old. Because even if these concubines are well maintained, they will gradually lose their beauty within ten years, which will inevitably cause sadness to you, Que'er. This pill is made of 33 kinds of natural treasures, which can ensure that the user will remain young for twenty years, and their appearance and figure will not change at all. However, after twenty years, when the drug expires, the user will suddenly age to their original appearance. With this medicine, Que'er can stay with your concubines forever."

　　"What!" Li Que was shocked. In fact, this matter has always been a concern for him. He followed his master Guan Mou to practice Taoism, so his life span was naturally greatly extended, but his wives, including his mother Su Yuexin, were all ordinary people. Even if they could maintain the charming appearance of mature beauties in their forties, they would age terribly in seven or eight years or ten years no matter how well they took care of themselves. How would they get along with the still young Li Que at that time? Ning Liuer's "Anti-aging Pill" basically solved this problem.

　　"But what will happen in twenty years?" Li Que was looking forward to Shu. If it were an ordinary person, he would be nearly fifty years old in twenty years and would not care about his appearance. But for Li Que, twenty years was just a blink of an eye, so he naturally asked this question.

　　"The effect of this anti-aging pill is against the laws of nature. There is no better pill than this. Twenty years from now, you can only watch your mother grow old, unless you can get the legendary 'Destiny' stone." Ning Liuer said.

　　"What is the 'Destiny' stone?" Li Que asked.

　　"The Stone of Destiny is in the possession of the king of the Kingdom of Antioch, the overlord of the Western Regions. Que'er, I'm afraid you will never be able to obtain it in your lifetime."

　　Why not? Li Que heard Ning Liuer's reply and said to himself. However, he had gained enough today, and there was no rush for things to happen in 20 years, so he did not continue to ask Ning Liuer, but just kept thanking Guan Mou and Ning Liuer.

　　The three masters and apprentices settled the matter and continued to chat and reminisce in the hall. However, the two men had their own thoughts. The charm of the peerless beauty Su Yuexin made Guan Mou, a real person, tempted, and the beautiful Ning Liuer also made Li Que's heart beat fast. The master and apprentice actually thought about each other's wives at the same time, and no one knew how this confusing account would end.

　　PS: The Return of the Missing... I haven't updated it for nearly a year because I've been busy with other things and can only write sporadically. But people have been sending me private messages asking when I'll update, so in order to live up to everyone's expectations, I've saved up tens of thousands of words before releasing it. I'll finish it, but the update time is uncertain...
