Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 216, The Alliance of Temple Messengers, Sang Wen Raising Liu Ying?
Chen Pingping suppressed the smile on his face and spoke indifferently.

"It's almost time. Fei Jie will take action personally. How can there be any suspense?"

Then Chen Pingping changed the subject and looked at Liu Hong with a sinister look.

"The Crown Prince is your disciple, and he treats you with sincerity. He also tacitly allows you to control the Eastern Palace guards and erode the official power of the Eastern Palace."

"You just abandon such a good disciple. How cruel of you to do that."

Liu Hong frowned, then faced Chen Pingping's scrutinizing gaze openly.

"I have not done anything wrong to the prince. I will protect his life no matter what. As a master and a disciple, we naturally have feelings for each other. As for whether he can control his heart, that is also his business."

Chen Pingping gave a playful smile.

However, Liu Hong remained calm.

To be precise, he never plotted against the prince.

Liu Hong never calculated against anyone, he just followed the general trend and went with the flow.

Chen Pingping said nothing more and happily pushed the wheelchair towards Liu Ying's room.

Near the outskirts of Kyoto, the Qin family army led by Qin Heng was badly wounded, and almost every one of the 3,000 Qin family soldiers was injured.

The three hundred secret guards sent by Emperor Qing who were skilled in archery and crossbows had now become corpses, lying in a pool of blood.

The Qin army said nothing and quietly cleaned up the corpses.

Attacking the emperor's secret guards is a serious crime.

Qin Heng and others naturally would not leave any clues. Even if Emperor Qing suspected the Qin family, there was no evidence.

"Sir, these secret guards have been dealt with, but the blind boy and the temple messenger disappeared without a trace."

The assassins came to report.

Qin Heng didn't care and waved his hand.

"Don't worry! The Lord in Kyoto will not sit idly by. Since he wants to attack Fan Xian, how can he not win over the temple messenger?"

Qin Heng's words were not wrong. Cheng Jushu brought the masters trained by Liu Hong to the temple messenger.
The temple messenger turned his golden pupils and looked at Cheng Jushu and others indifferently.

Even though he was seriously injured and could no longer fight, he still had no fear of death.

Because he is a robot and has no concept of death.

These eighth-rank masters were filled with awe when they saw the temple messenger's demeanor.

"Tell me! Is it the Emperor of Qing, or the Duke of Pei of Qing?"

The temple messenger's pupils were golden, without a trace of other colors.

This time, he was frustrated.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing, who had once cooperated with the temple and kidnapped and killed Ye Qingmei, betrayed the temple at this moment.

"We are entrusted by Pei Gong to take the envoy back to the Shangshu Mansion to recuperate."

Cheng Jushu spoke word by word, looking a little strenuous.

The temple messenger closed his eyes, and the microcomputer in his mind kept running rapidly.

It doesn't matter who you cooperate with. The order from the temple only requires that Wuzhu and Ye Qingmei's son be brought back.

As for the struggle among the forces in the world, what does it have to do with the temple?
Since Emperor Qing betrayed the temple, the temple really needs to find a new helper.

As for Liu Hong, he possesses military power and is barely qualified.

"Sure! But it will take at least two years for me to recover from my injuries. If you send me to Dadong Mountain, it will speed up my recovery."

Cheng Jushu and others were overjoyed.

They didn't expect the temple messenger to be so easy to talk to.

Isn't it said that the temple is high above and doesn't care about the secular world at all? Now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.

Little did they know that for the robots in the temple, there were only missions, no emotions.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that the seriously injured temple messenger returned to Kyoto under the cover of Cheng Jushu and others.

He continued to live in the basement of the Shangshu's mansion.

What a double happiness!

The eldest son Liu Ying was born, and the temple envoys temporarily agreed to join forces with Pei Gong.

In this way, the morale of the forces under Liu Hong's command became stable, and they also had a righteous cause in hand.

What kind of vision in heaven and earth can be comparable to the support of the temple messenger?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang's heart was filled with emotion. He never thought about the little Pei Bo back then.

Smuggling and petty tricks in Qianlong Bay still had to be covered by the Supervisory Council. And now there was a real chance to fight for the world.

Liu Hong sat quietly in the study and did not express any happiness about the temporary cooperation between the temple messenger and himself.

"Fan Ruoruo and Liu Ying should have already gone to bed, right?"

The two of them were really busy today. With so many people visiting, Fan Ruoruo still had to cheer herself up and deal with them perfunctorily.

Sang Wen lowered his head, picked up a cup of hot tea, and walked into the study.

Ji Xin, who was guarding outside the door, did not stop him and did not even report it.

This is enough to show how trusted Sang Wen is in the mansion. After all, this is the woman who has shared the joys and sorrows with Liu Hong.

Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly.

"Sir, this is..."

"Zhang Liang, I once asked you to be Liu Ying's teacher, but you refused. What if I ask you to be Liu Ying's teacher again today?"

Liu Hong looked sincere and genuine.

Zhang Liang kept turning his head to glance at Sang Wen, but found that there was no expression on Sang Wen's face.

There was a time when Liu Hong disliked Fan Ruoruo extremely.

Zhang Liang had thought that the one who could accept Liu Hong's foundation must be Sang Wen's child, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

Fatty Lu has become Liu Ying's godfather, and if he could become Liu Ying's teacher too.

Even if Liu Hong wanted to abolish Liu Ying's position as crown prince in the future, he would have to think twice.

"Ruoruo's health was not good after she gave birth, so I planned to give Liu Ying to Sang Wen to raise."

Liu Hong threw out another earth-shattering thunder.

If Fan Xian knew these things, he would definitely be very confused.

Since Liu Hong devoted all his efforts to this eldest son, why didn't he give him the nickname Liu Zhi?

Zhang Liang took a deep breath, looked at Liu Hong, and nodded slowly with a serious expression.

Sang Wen gently handed Zhang Liang a cup of hot tea, then left tactfully.

Afterwards, Zhang Liang and Liu Hong chatted intermittently.

Both of them understood that the bloodbath in Kyoto and the release of 50,000 craftsmen from the Hanging Temple had led to the escape of the temple messenger.

Emperor Qing almost began to doubt Liu Hong.

In front of this suspicious emperor, you have nothing to fear unless you are weak.

Otherwise, even if you have the merit of saving the emperor, it will only last for a few months.

"Sir, Yan Xiaoyi will soon become the first-rank governor of Zhenbei. When you are sent to Kyoto, you must also be a first-rank official, the highest position among officials."

Zhang Liang's voice was firm and resolute.

According to convention, a Beijing official would not be considered demoted if he was promoted one level when he was transferred to another province.

What's more, Liu Hong was the Governor of Kyoto, Minister of War, and General of Cavalry, three powerful official positions.

"Kyoto Road, Dongshan Road, Jiangbei Road, even if there are governors in these three roads, they are only second-rank. How can they become frontier officials like Yan Xiaoyi?"

Liu Hong frowned.

What's more, apart from some bandits and rebellions by refugees, there is basically nothing going on in these places.

Zhang Liang's face also turned bitter.

"If it really doesn't work, sir, you can only snatch Yan Xiaoyi's Zhenbei Grand Commander."

"That won't work! Yan Xiaoyi is now the princess' most important chess piece."

Liu Hong rejected it outright, but his eyes looked dim as if he had thought of something.

"Zhang Liang, do you think Pingdong Grand Commander is right? Dongshan Road, Jiangbei Road, Jiangnan Road!"

The other roads are easy to deal with, but Jiangnan Road is an important tax collection area for the Qing Kingdom and a land of fish and rice.

How could Emperor Qing dare to hand this place over to Liu Hong?

Zhang Liang didn't say anything, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Liu Hong in disbelief.

Liu Hong still sat quietly in the chair, but his smile was somewhat incomprehensible.

"Prime Minister Lin Ruofu dared to shake the imperial power. Now I want to see if Emperor Qing has learned his lesson."
