Chapter 104: One Person's Success

early morning.

Mohist Martial Arts School.

Or, it should be Gu Family Courtyard, or another name that few people mention, the health medicine shop.

In the past, due to its fame, this small courtyard seemed to be branded with some kind of mark. Whenever it needed to be mentioned, people would naturally think of this as the place where Mo Qiu had stayed for many years and served as the owner of the martial arts school.

Even though the martial arts school was no longer open for various reasons, Mo Qiu started to create the Mohist school and traveled around the world, and this imprint did not fade, just like the former residences of some sages.

A mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there.

It doesn't matter how luxurious a residence is, it just depends on who has stayed there. Naturally, people will count according to the most famous one.

But now, perhaps this issue should be taken seriously again.

Because, hidden inside is another martial arts master who has been unknown for fifteen years.

"Buzz~"

With a slight sound, the small courtyard door that had been installed not too long ago was pushed open. It did not make the creaking sound that had been familiar to people over the years.

The newly replaced wooden door is exquisite and elegant. The black bird outlined in moon white is lifelike and mysterious. From a distance, the black bird seems to be floating in the air, and each tail feather seems to be swaying in the wind.

The eyes painted with vermilion lacquer are extremely eye-catching among the light and holy moon white, always making people focus their attention on them involuntarily. In a trance, everything is fading, only the eyes are more real and bright. Even if you know it is a painting, it is hard not to immerse yourself in it. This is the so-called finishing touch.

A pretty and slender figure squeezed open the gate, with a bun in her mouth and four or five buns in her hands.

The buns had just come out of the steamer, so they were inevitably a little hot. The girl's big eyes rolled around, and her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but raise high. Her little tongue restlessly licked the small hole in the bun that was bitten open. When the rich but hot soup touched the tip of her tongue, she couldn't help but secretly open her rosy little mouth and take the opportunity to secretly breathe in some of the cool morning air in the gap that was not filled with the buns. The pleasure of enjoyment and the pain of struggle coexisted on her pretty face, lively and smart.

"cough!"

Xun Ke, who was practicing martial arts in the yard, couldn't help but cough lightly when he saw this scene.

The expression on the girl's face froze immediately, and then she quickly walked to Xun Ke, stretched out her slender and white little hand, holding two buns, and shook it.

"uh-huh!"

Xiaoying made an incoherent sound from her throat and signaled Xun Ke with her eyes to hurry up.

Xun Ke, with a helpless look on his face, loosened the new stone lock, reached out and wiped it on his body first, but he had no choice but to accept the buns she handed over, and whispered: "If you can't carry so much, don't take so much! You are a princess, how can you have no manners at all?"

"snort!"

Xiaoying snorted coldly, her eyebrows raised, and her little hand, which had finally been free, did not rush to take the bun from her mouth, but instead punched Xun Ke first.

Then he took the bun from his mouth and kept breathing in, saying, "It's burning me to death, it's burning me to death, it's burning me to death!"

The rich soup from the buns made her already rosy lips shine, and the girl's voice was full of youthful vitality.

Xun Ke's face couldn't help but darken.

It was bad enough that Qin Lisheng came to bully him before, but now suddenly the daughter of Mr. Gu’s old friend comes to bully him!

Is he someone who is easy to bully?! Thinking of this, Cang, who could already walk, staggered over, raised his head, and saw Xiaoying's actions, thinking about something.

"ha!"

Cang stretched out his little fist, exhaled and stopped talking, aiming at Xun Ke's calf.

Watch me punch hard!

“.”

Xun Ke's face was dark and gloomy.

The big one can’t beat him, the one in the middle is a girl, and the small one is so tiny that she can’t even speak clearly.

He is the only one being bullied. Life is unbearable!

"Hey, Cang."

Xiaoying squatted down and pinched Cang's chubby little face, "Is Uncle Gu up yet? I brought some buns for him to eat!"

Since she came to this small courtyard that day, she has never gone back. After spending more than a month together, she has become much more familiar with the people in the courtyard.

In addition, Xiaoying's personality is not that of a lady in the conventional sense, so she can always find something fun to do so she never seems bored.

Not far away, Qin Lisheng noticed a few people gathered together and whispered, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's great to be young.

The big hole caused by the aftermath of the previous battle has long been filled, the broken courtyard gate has been replaced with a level that only the royal family is qualified to decorate, and the dead imperial guards have been carried away. Everything seems to be the same, but it is also a little different.

The wooden door of the room was pushed open and Gu Dan walked into the courtyard.

With a volume of Taoist scriptures in his hand, it seemed that life had really returned to normal.

“Uncle Gu!”

Xiaoying ran to Gu Dan obediently and raised her hand, "Here, I brought you the buns!"

It's different after all.

After Lin Xiaoyi went to see Prince Yu that day, the imperial guards surrounding the place quickly withdrew.

Emperor Zong Ming was also buried at an extremely fast speed. The process was rather hasty, but the specifications were still met.

It is said that the coffin used for burial was the immortal coffin found by Qingpingzi in his early years. Although it sounds not very auspicious, Emperor Zong Ming at that time still had the idea of ​​placing it in the palace as a daily resting place.

In the end, it was Eunuch Fang's deathbed advice that made him give up this unreliable idea. Now he has finally gotten what he wanted. Is that enough for him to rest in peace?

To some extent, Prince Yu—oh no, now he should be called the new emperor.

The new emperor can be considered a filial son.

After ascending the throne, the new emperor did some things.

The first thing is to arrest Mo Qiu.

The second thing is to grant amnesty to the world.

Naturally, the Mohists, who had always shown outstanding loyalty to the emperor and the country, were only temporarily deceived by Mo Qiu. They did not know this man's evil ambitions and should not be implicated.

The new emperor was magnanimous and only executed the main culprit! What he didn't expect was that this "weakness" that should have been criticized by others not only did not become a bad name, but also helped to restore some face to the royal family's reputation among the people, which had already reached the bottom.

Everyone praised the new emperor as a master of martial arts.

On the other hand, Mohist had indeed never made any mistakes. Compared with the previous Emperor Zongming who did nothing, the new emperor at least looked like a human being.

Gong Shangguo was released from the Heavenly Prison that same day, and he did not show any sadness after learning about Mo Qiu's heroic deeds.

That grandfather in the blood sense has brought great suffering to the world.

If he had died twenty years earlier, perhaps Dayue wouldn't have been in the crisis it is today, and he might even have left behind a legend of his heroic name for future generations to admire.

Being too active is not necessarily a good thing.

But Gong Shangguo did not choose to stay here. The country was on the verge of collapse, and he still had the blood of the Dayue royal family flowing in his body. He really couldn't watch everything end peacefully and calmly, even if he could save a few more people.

It just so happened that he had made two new friends among the people who were waiting for him to return.

Let him see how hard the people of Dayue can work. He can still help them, at least let those who can't survive live a better life.

A tree that has grown for more than two hundred years will not die in an instant, and the scattered dry branches and leaves will eventually become new nutrients, nourishing the next potentially towering sapling.

But before that, someone needs to take care of it.

So when Gong Shangguo said goodbye and left, Gu Dan did not stop him.

Andy Hui has also returned after the new emperor fulfilled the first two conditions he agreed to under Gu Dan.

Andy Hui is not alone. He has his own family business and children. It is impossible for them to live with him for too long.

In order not to worry my family, I have to go back eventually.

After returning, Andy Hui was quickly promoted to the position of Imperial Physician.

Once you demonstrate enough strength, enough goodwill will soon follow.

It seems that the bloody battle some time ago was just an illusion.

"Thank you very much."

Gu Dan took the bun handed over by Xiaoying and nodded.

Before he could take two bites, the luxurious courtyard door was pushed open again.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

A pretty and graceful figure walked over. Xiaoying immediately rushed over when she saw the person, calling out happily, "Mom!"

Lin Xiaoyi rubbed the little girl's head and walked in front of Gu Dan. There was an indelible helplessness on her delicate face. She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and said, "Brother Gu."

Now her status has changed dramatically. It is no exaggeration to say that she has become a phoenix.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the third thing that did not attract much attention from outsiders was to establish her as queen.

From a small, low-ranking doctor in the Imperial Medical Bureau, to Prince Yu's concubine, and then to the empress of the new emperor.

Everything seemed like a dream! Of course, she had put in some effort behind this, but she knew exactly why she was able to reach this position.

Old friends are rising up, and little ones can be relied upon.

If one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!

If it weren't for Gu Dan's ability that was enough to make people look up to him, she would not have been able to become the queen and rule the country without any support.

In a way, her kindness was sufficiently rewarded, and it was a generous reward that was beyond any expectation.

However, Gu Dan's attitude towards her remained the same.

Neither close nor distant.

She can come if she wants to, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to.

Even though the new emperor had reclaimed the old site of Qingfeng Temple and gifted it to Gu Dan, he was not interested in it at all and did not even take a look at it.

He is not tempted by beauty, nor bothered by money, and his strength has reached the level of a martial arts master. Apart from being able to show off the old friendship a little, it seems that there is really nothing that can persuade him.

"Are you here? Sit wherever you want."

Gu Dan greeted Lin Xiaoyi with a calm expression, then sat on a stone pier and started reading the Taoist Canon as if no one was around.

The new emperor showed enough sincerity, but that was not because he had a kind heart.

It was simply because he showed strength far beyond what he could bear.

You can lift the table before you can eat!

So after the new emperor completed the first two conditions, Gu Dan temporarily suppressed his murderous intent and spared his life for the time being.

This temporary goodwill could turn into fangs and pounce at any time, and Gu was worried and aware of this.

Lin Xiaoyi, who was closely aligned with the new emperor in many ways, naturally would not receive much preferential treatment from him. Not turning her away was a courtesy to their old friendship.

Lin Xiaoyi leaned close to Gu Dan, and the fragrant breeze blew on her face. The queen, who was the mother of the country, said helplessly: "Brother Gu, the two conditions you mentioned before have been fulfilled. The only thing missing is the third condition. When can we go to the palace?"

Gu Dan's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "When I want to go."

Lin Xiaoyi lowered her head, feeling a little helpless.

Since the day the imperial guards withdrew, she came here several times a day.

It's not that she wants to annoy Gu Dan, it's just because Master Ji has been urging her. But Gu Dan is not moved at all. Although the real immortal classics are placed in the Sutra Library of the Imperial Palace, there is no need to rush. Dayue is not dead yet, why rush? "Brother Gu, you have been saying this for two months." Lin Xiaoyi stayed beside him and said aggrievedly.

"It's only been two months, why are you in such a hurry? Can the immortal classics really run away?" Gu Dan finally glanced at her.

Even if there are immortal classics, what use is there if there are not enough spirit stones? It is nothing more than to broaden your horizons first, and it doesn't matter if you do it earlier or later.

He is still young and is not in a hurry to achieve success.

The most important thing is that there is obviously at least one martial arts master in the palace, and someone even said shamelessly that he wanted to take him as a disciple.

If he dares to say such big words, Gu Danao can outlast him! "It's not me who is anxious, it's Master Ji who is anxious. If you don't go now, Master Ji will be unable to resist coming to see you, but he is afraid that you will misunderstand, so he has not come." Lin Xiaoyi was helpless.

She received enough benefits, but she also had to be caught between the royal family and Gu Dan and become a messenger.

Even though she is the queen, she still has to be polite to others, right? Neither side is easy to mess with, and she is the only one who is caught in a dilemma.

"Why, he's going to die of old age?"

Gu Dan, who had been silent all this time, finally perked up and asked bluntly.

"Mr. Ji has lived through three dynasties and is indeed quite old." Lin Xiaoyi said carefully.

"Yeah?"

Gu Dan nodded and said, "Can I wait until the day before he dies?"

“.”

Lin Xiaoyi did not answer, but could only use her eyes to tell Gu Dan that it was absolutely impossible.

The royal family showed enough goodwill because Mr. Ji nodded in agreement.

As a veteran of three dynasties of Dayue, Ji Lao's strength, qualifications, and loyalty are unquestionable, enough to influence the new emperor of Dayue, whose foundation is unstable and precarious.

Once Gu Dan's actions exceed Mr. Ji's tolerance limit, all previous goodwill will inevitably come to an end, which is really not what Lin Xiaoyi wants to see.

It's not good for either her or Gu Dan.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." Gu Dan finally let go.

"real?!"

Lin Xiaoyi was delighted. After such a long time, even a clay figure should be persuaded! "Really."

Gu Dan nodded, but not because Lin Xiaoyi came to invite him again and again.

Just because such a short period of time had passed, the master kept urging us and even wanted to come in person.

It seems that this martial arts master from Dayue is indeed dying, and it is not a good idea to really wear out all his patience.

A dying master, once he really doesn't care, is enough to make anyone afraid.

"Let me see how powerful the martial arts master who dares to take me as his disciple is!"
