Chapter 235 Two Immortals, Xie Jiu and Gu Xiao
Wang Chen said in an unfathomable way, "I have been back to Beijing for more than 20 years. I will always know what I want to know."
Wei Qingyan was surprised for only a moment.
When Wang Chen first met, his words that were meaningful showed that he knew Shi Yu's identity very well. He even knew Shi Yu's identity.
It was normal for him to know that she and Abu were switched, but she didn't know when he found out.
But that doesn't matter right now.
Even if Wangchen had known about it for a long time, she couldn't blame him for standing idly by. After all, the Shi family was Wangchen's enemy, and he was kind enough not to interfere.
But, "Do you know what Su Mao did?"
Wei Qingyan looked at Wang Chen with serious eyes. If he knew that Su Mao was a cannibal and still indulged in it, she should re-evaluate the person in front of her.
Wang Chen was an old and experienced man. He saw what Wei Qingyan was thinking and rolled his eyes at her. "I only have two eyes and I have to work in the temple during the day. Do you think I am a god who can know everything in the world just by counting with my fingers?
Even if it's your business, it's also something I've done by staying up all night squatting on the roof. Do you really think it's easy for me?"
Wei Qingyan received the cold stare, but instead of getting angry, he laughed.
Wang Chen snorted.
"Then do you know who the monk the late emperor is looking for? Could it be you?" Wei Qingyan asked again.
Just now, when Princess Liyang saw Wangchen, she almost mistook him for her grandfather. It can be seen that the two look very similar. There might be other people in the Su royal family who look like Wangchen.
Wang Chen knew so many secrets of the palace and must have entered the palace many times. It was very likely that he was discovered by the late emperor and recognized as a person from the previous dynasty. It was understandable that the late emperor was worried and wanted to find him.
Wang Chen was not sure. "I was indeed discovered by the secret guard once. As for whether the person he was looking for was me, I don't know."
After that incident, he restrained himself a lot, and after knowing what happened to the criminal slaves, he gave up the idea of rescuing them.
Because that group of people had already lost their minds, it was useless to rescue them. At that time, he also had the idea of killing them with a packet of poison, but after all, they were his own children and he really couldn't bear to do it, so he simply turned a blind eye.
"Then do you know where the late emperor is?" Shi Yu also asked, "And where are the secret guards he trained privately hiding?"
Wang Chen was a little disgusted. "You two think I know everything, don't you? If I say that I only realized Shi Dehou's hypocrisy in recent years, would you believe me?"
Without waiting for the two to answer, he said to himself, "It's hard for anyone to feel good when their own things become someone else's, but no matter whose family the country belongs to, the world is still the world, and the people are still the people of that area.
Shi Dehou was able to end the chaos by ending the war. On another level, he also ended the sins of my Su family.
Therefore, I did not want his life, nor did I have any intention of revenge. I entered the palace only to rescue those unfilial descendants.
Guessing the filthiness of the slavery, I investigated it, but now you have witnessed Shi Dehou's hypocrisy. His hands are clean, and it was all done by his subordinates to please him.
Until the year he passed away, I was so sad that I wanted to go to the palace to see if those unworthy descendants were still alive. I accidentally saw that he had set up an altar in an empty courtyard of the slave house.
There were two naked boys and girls lying on the altar. Shi Dehou was also acting weird, which was completely different from the benevolent king rumored by the outside world.
Only then did I realize that something was wrong with this person, so I took the two children out of the palace while they were not paying attention.
When I wanted to go back to see what he wanted to do, the palace was suddenly heavily guarded and I was discovered by the secret guards as soon as I appeared.
So, about a month later, I finally got the chance to enter the palace again, but I found that Shi Dehou had aged a lot and looked like he was about to die.
In fact, he did die not long after. Although I had a strange encounter in that cave, I never imagined that he would actually take over another person's body and survive."
Wei Qingyan realized something and said angrily, "Did you eavesdrop on us?"
At first he looked mysterious and I thought he was a great monk who knew everything, but it turned out that he was also kept in the dark by the late emperor.
Since he didn't know that the late emperor was still alive, he wouldn't have thought of taking over his body later.
Wang Chen protested, "I didn't eavesdrop on your conversations. Don't underestimate your abilities. I just followed a few of your men and went to the palace a few times.
After all, I was once an emperor. Although I am old, my brain is still there. After thinking about it, it is not difficult to guess. Oh, this is not important.
The important thing is, I saved your future husband. If I hadn't taken those two children away, and Shi Dehou's evil spell hadn't worked, he would have been the one possessed, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Shi Yu and said, "How much wine can I repay you for saving my life?"
Wei Qingyan, "..."
I had thought of many possibilities before, but I didn't expect that the reason why Shi Yu failed to be possessed was because Wang Chen accidentally messed up the situation.
This is probably God's will.
Seeing that neither of them reacted, Wang Chen said quietly, "If I hadn't intervened back then, I don't know who His Royal Highness Prince Rong would marry now.
No, if Shi Dehou had succeeded in taking over the body, he might have ascended the throne as Prince Rong and become the emperor of Wei.
According to the agreement between him and the Xie family, he should marry a girl from the Xie family. In this way, I saved not only his life, but also your love..."
"Twenty jars." Shi Yu interrupted Wang Chen.
So disgusting.
Just thinking about the late emperor using his body to touch the girl from the Xie family made his stomach churn.
"It's great. I'm not a greedy person."
Wang Chen resumed his usual playful and smiling appearance and looked at Wei Qingyan, "Don't think of me as such a bad person. We do have some connection after all."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Chen smiled mysteriously, "The secret cannot be revealed. I envy you for having a good sister and brother-in-law."
Wei Qingyan looked utterly bewildered.
Her elder sister and brother-in-law are indeed very nice, but why did Monk Wangchen suddenly mention her elder sister and brother-in-law at this time?
Without waiting for her to ask, Wang Chen waved his hand and said, "Buddha said it cannot be said, it cannot be said."
That year he was trapped in a cave and walked for several days and nights, but not only did he not find a way out, but he ended up in a rocky mountain with nothing in it and almost starved to death.
A young man and woman suddenly appeared and brought him out of the cave. He wanted to repay them and asked their names.
The woman smiled and replied, "I am Wei Qingyan's sister, Xie Jiu."
The man said with a blank expression, "Wei Qingyan is my sister-in-law."
He was also confused at the time. He flipped through his decades of memories, but couldn't remember when he met someone named Wei Qingyan.
These two people actually helped him because of a man named Wei Qingyan. He was about to ask them if they had recognized the wrong person.
The woman named Xie Jiu smiled, as if she could read my mind, and said, "You'll get to know my sister when you return. Three years in the cave, thirty years outside. Don't waste these extra twenty-seven years of life."
But the man whispered, "You don't need to repay me for what I did today, but if my sister-in-law needs you in the future, you must not refuse."
After saying this, the man waved his hand, and he felt dizzy. In the dizziness, he heard the woman say angrily, "Eldest sister only asked us to send him back, and you are trying to add to his life span and ask him to help me. You are interfering with cause and effect."
"If your sister-in-law is not doing well, you will feel bad."
The man's cold voice spoke the sweetest words of love, "My husband doesn't want you to be unhappy. If he becomes an immortal without favoritism, what kind of immortal is he? He has served you for many years and has great merits. It doesn't matter if he lives a few more years..."
"The previous twenty jars are invalid." Shi Yu's words interrupted Wang Chen's memories.
"How can you go back on your word? What you promised cannot be changed." He was anxious.
Shi Yu glanced at him indifferently. Who told him to be mysterious, arousing Qingyan's curiosity and keeping Qingyan in suspense?
Wang Chen knew that Shi Yu was forcing him to tell the truth, but he couldn't say it. He slapped his mouth lightly and said, "I told you not to talk too much."
Twenty jars of wine were wasted for no reason.
He tried his best to save the situation and said to Wei Qingyan, "In short, I have no ill will towards you. For your sake, I will not have any ill will towards your future husband or your family."
The two remained unmoved.
Wang Chen wanted to slap them again, but he felt that it would not change the two people's minds except for hurting himself, so he gave up.
If you can't get any advantage, then let's get down to business.
He sat up straight, lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, like a Bodhisattva looking down on all living beings, "I may not want this country, but I must kill Shi Dehou with my own hands. So, you should accompany me into the palace to meet your emperor."
