Chapter 62: The medical fairy's father's martial arts are invincible in the world!
After the Tong family settled down in Aunt Wang's house next door to the Li family, they either asked around in the village about the Li family's situation or wandered around the doorstep of the Li family trying to get close to Si Yuan and his daughter.
Si Yuan almost never goes out, and even if he does, he won't be caught by the Tong family. But little Fuling often goes out to play, so the Tong family will still run into her.
Little Fuling was raised and pampered by Si Yuan. She was smart and clever. She knew exactly what she could say and what she couldn't say. She also knew how to play dumb with her innocent appearance, so that the Tong family members who wanted to get information from her would return empty-handed.
Upon seeing this, Duke Cheng'en ordered his son to stay and continue guarding the village. He took his two grandchildren back to the capital and reported the situation to Emperor Chengqian.
After all, Emperor Cheng Qian sent them to invite the immortal and the immortal date tree back to the capital, but they failed to do either, so naturally they had to go back and give an explanation to Emperor Cheng Qian.
Duke Cheng'en was the father of the Empress and also the father-in-law of the Emperor. Emperor Chengqian would at least give this old minister some face, so Duke Cheng'en decided to report to Emperor Chengqian in person that he had not done his job well, and then ask Emperor Chengqian to personally invite the immortal back.
After all, Emperor Cheng Qian's fate of being childless still awaits this Immortal Li to change his fate.
Duke Cheng'en returned to the capital with a heavy heart. He did not even have time to go back to Duke Cheng'en's mansion to rest, and hurried into the palace.
After meeting Emperor Cheng Qian, Lord Cheng En honestly told Emperor Cheng Qian the whole process of his meeting with Si Yuan, including the fact that he failed to persuade the two fairy jujube trees.
However, for the sake of the future of his two legitimate grandchildren, Lord Cheng'en was still selfish and did not tell them that they almost succeeded in persuading the fairy jujube tree at the entrance of the village. However, he was so angry at the whispers of his two legitimate grandchildren that he regretted the matter.
After all, Lord Cheng En knew clearly that once this matter was made public, the future of his two legitimate grandchildren would be ruined. If Emperor Cheng Qian himself went to invite the immortal to come out of the mountain and failed, he might even vent his anger on his two legitimate grandchildren.
Duke Cheng En took the risk of concealing the fact. After all, Emperor Cheng Qian would not take the initiative to ask the Immortal Date Tree why it refused the invitation, let alone ask such a question to an immortal.
What Duke Cheng En emphasized was that Emperor Cheng Qian was destined to be childless, and that Si Yuan was able to change Emperor Cheng Qian's fate.
As expected, after Emperor Cheng Qian heard about this, he no longer cared about whether the jujube tree was immortal or not. He only thought, "This Mr. Li can give me a son, he must be a real immortal!" 'Thought.
Then he decided to visit Mr. Li in person and invite Mr. Li to the palace to help him change his fate.
He was unwilling to give up the throne passed down from his father to other members of the royal family, and he must have his own biological son.
In fact, the village where Si Yuan lives is not close to the capital, but it is not particularly far either.
After all, the valley near the village was chosen by Prince Duan as a place to station troops. If it was too close to the capital, wouldn’t these troops be easily discovered by Emperor Cheng Qian?
But if they are too far away from the capital, these troops will not be of much use. After all, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. When a rebellion really breaks out, who will have the time to wait for Prince Duan's troops from far away to slowly arrive in the capital?
Prince Duan naturally had to choose a place to station troops that was neither too far nor too close to the capital, so that it would not be discovered and would be convenient for mobilizing troops in case of rebellion.
Moreover, as the grandson of Duke Cheng'en, even if Tong Zheng was just a concubine's son, he was born in a noble family. Even if he only passed the imperial examination and became a county magistrate, he would not have fallen to become a county magistrate in a remote area.
The position of Qingyang County Magistrate is still a lucrative one. After all, Qingyang County and Qingyun County are both relatively wealthy places. Being a county magistrate here is lucrative and easy to achieve political achievements.
If it weren't for his bad luck of meeting the Five Poison Taoist priests in the martial arts world who were so cruel as to poison the entire county with plague, Tong Zheng, the magistrate of Qingyang County, would have been the envy of many people who couldn't get this position.
It can be imagined that a village not far from Qingyang County would not be too remote, and it is not very far from the capital.
So when Emperor Chengqian said he wanted to come in person, Duke Chengen did not find it strange, nor did he dissuade him. He agreed with Emperor Chengqian going in person to invite the immortal, and even persuaded Emperor Chengqian to bring the empress with him.
After all, if the immortal was really so stubborn as not to come to the capital, then the emperor and empress could stay in the village for two days and ask the immortal to help them conceive a child before returning to the capital.
In order to make his family the next emperor's in-laws in the future, Duke Cheng'en made a lot of plans.
Emperor Cheng Qian did not realize Duke Cheng En's little plan. He felt that it was already troublesome enough for him to sneak out of the palace and run so far away, and he even took the Empress Dowager with him. Then who would manage the harem for him? So he rejected it casually.
Duke Cheng'en didn't know how to persuade him any further. After all, he couldn't expose his little thoughts in front of the emperor.
After Emperor Cheng Qian changed into his daily clothes and arranged the affairs of the palace, he personally took his guards and Duke Cheng En to Qingyun County.
When Emperor Cheng Qian was younger, he also made many incognito visits, wearing casual clothes and pretending to be an ordinary young man. But when he got older, there were no children in the harem, so he anxiously stayed in the harem and tried hard to have a baby, so he stopped making incognito visits.
Now when I do this kind of thing again, I am very familiar with it.
Because he was anxious, Emperor Cheng Qian ordered his men to travel faster, and they only took half the time it took Duke Cheng En and others to set out.
If it weren't for the jujube leaf water, the elderly Lord Cheng'en would probably not be able to endure such a long journey.
Emperor Cheng Qian didn't care whether he could bear it or not. He was only thinking about finding an immortal to change his fate of being childless. He wanted to have a son to inherit the throne!
Emperor Cheng Qian is now like a drowning man grasping at his last straw.
After rushing to Qingyun County as quickly as possible, he went straight to the Li family without staying in Qingyun County.
This time, Si Yuan was not so arrogant. After all, as the current emperor, he still had to give Emperor Cheng Qian a little face.
So before Emperor Cheng Qian came, Si Yuan opened the door in advance. When Emperor Cheng Qian arrived at the door of the Li family, Si Yuan, who was sitting under two jujube trees in the yard playing chess with Doctor Yu, stood up and walked to the door to greet Emperor Cheng Qian.
However, it was impossible to expect Si Yuan to salute Emperor Cheng Qian, so being able to stand up and greet him was already giving him face.
Emperor Cheng Qian didn't care about etiquette. When he saw Si Yuan, who was dressed in white and looked like an immortal, he rushed over and asked expectantly, "Are you Mr. Li who can change my fate of being childless?"
Doctor Yu, who had been following Si Yuan and planning to entertain the guests, was startled when he heard the new guest call himself "I" and immediately slipped away quietly.
This is the emperor of the time, and it is not something a small doctor like him can get close to.
Everyone else's attention was on Si Yuan, so naturally no one noticed Doctor Yu's little move.
Seeing that the big fish he wanted to catch had come, Si Yuan waved to the others following Emperor Cheng Qian, and immediately those people flew out of the Li family gate automatically as if they were caught by an invisible big hand. Then the Li family gate closed automatically, and they only heard Si Yuan's faint voice: "I want to talk to your majesty alone about this matter."
The Tong family members and the emperor's guards who were thrown out looked at each other, not knowing whether they should go in and disturb them. It was Cheng Engong who spoke up, "Your Majesty has something to discuss with the immortal, so let's wait at the door."
Just looking at the ease with which Si Yuan threw them out just now, they knew that even if they all attacked together, they would not be Si Yuan's match. If Si Yuan really wanted to attack the emperor, they would not be able to protect the emperor even if they rushed in.
Moreover, before closing the door, seeing Emperor Cheng Qian's expectant and excited look towards Si Yuan, it was clear that Emperor Cheng Qian wanted to stay on his own initiative. If they barged in, they might even anger His Majesty.
Emperor Cheng Qian, who stayed inside the door, was shocked to see Si Yuan send everyone out with a wave of his hand. He felt that he was astonished by the beauty.
After all, the martial arts masters in this world cannot do this. Even the top martial arts masters can only use their skills to control a person and throw him out. It is impossible for them to control so many people to fly out at the same time. If a martial arts master can do this, Emperor Cheng Qian would probably not be able to sleep well. So this can only be done by gods.
Emperor Cheng Qian's eyes brightened as he looked at Si Yuan, and he suddenly asked, "Does the immortal have a way to achieve immortality?"
Rather than having a son to inherit the throne, Emperor Cheng Qian wanted immortality and to sit on the throne for a long time. In this way, it would not matter if he had no son, the throne would always be his.
Emperor Cheng Qian was so obsessed with having a son that the first thing he asked when he saw Si Yuan was if he could help change his childless fate. When he really saw Si Yuan's magical skills, Emperor Cheng Qian changed his wish to a better one.
Si Yuan: “…” He is worthy of being the emperor. He really knows how to push his luck!
Si Yuan said calmly: "I am only here to experience the calamity, and this body is just a mortal body, so my methods are also limited. Immortality is impossible, and this body of mine will experience birth, aging, sickness and death. But it is still possible to prolong my life..."
Emperor Cheng Qian was very disappointed when he heard that he could not achieve immortality, but when he heard Si Yuan change the subject and say that he could prolong his life, he felt happy again.
At least there is not no hope at all. If he can live to be over a hundred years old without any illness or disaster, it is better than dying early on the throne like his father.
Moreover, the immortal said that he came to the human world to experience tribulations. If we offer more offerings to this immortal, then when he returns from his tribulations, won't the immortal in heaven take better care of him?
Emperor Cheng Qian's mind was full of plans, and at the same time, all the doubts in his heart were resolved.
No wonder the immortal Li whom Lord Cheng'en found out was just an ordinary hunter in the past and even had a wife and a daughter. It turned out that he was an immortal who came down to earth to experience trials and tribulations. It seems that he spent a long time as a mortal before awakening his immortal memory.
Emperor Cheng Qian had already taken the initiative to fill in Si Yuan's origins in his mind, so there was no need for Si Yuan to make up any more stories.
However, Si Yuan did not intend to make up too many stories to fool Emperor Cheng Qian. After all, the more stories he made up, the more loopholes there would be. It would be better to just say a few vague sentences and give some information, and let Emperor Cheng Qian and the others fill in the gaps themselves.
As long as his magical skills are genuine, no one would dare to question his identity as a fairy.
Although Si Yuan is actually only a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage and has not yet passed the tribulation to become an immortal, but with his methods in this small world with scarce spiritual energy, it is no exaggeration to call him an immortal.
Therefore, Si Yuan just casually showed Emperor Cheng Qian the art of the universe, and let Emperor Cheng Qian look at the changing formations in the Li family's courtyard, which fooled Emperor Cheng Qian so much that he absolutely believed in his identity as an immortal.
As for Emperor Cheng Qian's wish of prolonging his life and having children, for Si Yuan it was just a trivial matter of making a few pills with medicinal herbs.
However, Si Yuan still had to maintain his composure and let Emperor Cheng Qian respectfully invite him to the capital to be the imperial teacher before he could make elixirs for him.
The reason why Si Yuan wanted to be a country's national teacher was very simple. He wanted to rectify the martial arts world.
The original plot of this small world takes place in the martial arts world, and the imperial court is just a backdrop with no sense of existence.
But it does not mean that the imperial court does not exist. It’s just that the imperial court is not that powerful and cannot suppress those martial arts masters. So it simply lets them do whatever they want and ignores them.
