Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 197: Human Hearts Are Invisible

Qiu Chuji has a spirit hidden in his body, and his primordial spirit turns into Ju Mang. On the other side, Wanyan Kang and Mu Nianci go northward. Although they are in love with each other, it is not calm.

At first, they only met with Ouyang Ke, Sha Tongtian and other martial arts masters recruited by the palace.

This was not a coincidence. The government of the Song Dynasty was infiltrated by the Jin people like a sieve, and Wanyan Kang and Mu Nianci did not hide their whereabouts, so they were soon found by these people.

Sha Tongtian and others had received a secret letter from Wanyan Honglie on the way. If Wanyan Kang showed resistance to returning to Zhongdu and continuing to be his little prince, they might as well devise some tricks in secret to let this little prince, who used to live a life of luxury, know how difficult it would be to make a single move in the martial arts world after leaving the power of the prince's mansion.

But after realizing that Wanyan Kang was not opposed to returning, all the pre-set plans were of course scrapped, which made Ouyang Ke a little dissatisfied.

After all, in the set script, they will target Mu Nianci first, and Ouyang Ke will reap the benefits.

Although Ouyang Ke is completely devoted to Huang Rong, his body obviously has more dirty thoughts.

The intimate journey of the two people passively turned into a collective transfer of a group of people, which made Wanyan Kang unhappy.

When they were traveling near Yangzhou, they received another message from Wanyan Honglie, asking them to turn around immediately and return to Lin'an and meet up near Lin'an.

Wanyan Honglie did not explain the specific reason.

Three days later, Wanyan Kang, who met Wanyan Honglie in Niujia Village, was dragged to a corner of the village alone.

"Kang'er! I'm very happy... really happy that you... are still willing to acknowledge me as your father! I'm so happy that I can't even sleep. Kang'er... Daddy only has you now, and you must never leave Daddy again." Wanyan Honglie's eyes were red as he handed a wine bag to Wanyan Kang. There was sincerity in his eyes. The weakness revealed by a hero would move even the most heartless person to some extent.

However, Wanyan Kang just took the wine bag, took a sip in silence, and then stared into the distance in a trance, with a trace of loneliness on his face.

Wanyan Kang's demon fetus has now been unlocked to 25%, and his spiritual perception has become so strong that it is difficult for ordinary people to understand. He has a different understanding of Wanyan Honglie's affectionate words.

He could interpret from it three parts of Wanyan Honglie's temptation, one part of doubt, one part of questioning, and one part of deep, extremely deep malice.

The malice was so deep and intense, full of resentment and unwillingness, that Wanyan Kang, who sensed it, felt a chill in his bones.

But thinking of Ling Tui Si, Wanyan Kang suppressed the uneasiness that was welling up in his heart.

At least compared to Ling Tui Si, Wanyan Honglie is a very, very good father!
"Kang'er! What's on your mind?"

"Come, talk to your father, and I will comfort you! Comfort you!" Wanyan Honglie patted Wanyan Kang's arm, revealing a hearty and free-spirited smile, and his tired eyes were filled with kindness.

The malice became even stronger, Wanyan Kang thought.

Then he let out a long breath and forced down the many distracting thoughts that were surging in his mind.

After all, he is not his biological son!

What's more, even if he is a biological son, once it involves more macro-level rights issues, things will no longer be pure.

The only most irrational and inappropriate thing that Wanyan Honglie had ever done in his life was to marry Bao Xiruo, make her the princess, and never have any other wives or concubines.

Wanyan Kang's "sharpness" at this time was precisely the strongest "malice" bestowed by the demon fetus, because it is difficult to find a few people in this world who are truly sincere and treat each other wholeheartedly.

This is the evil of the demon fetus. The sensitivity it bestows is the greatest curse on the human heart.

The only things we cannot look directly at in this world are the sun and the human heart.

When the darkness and evil hidden in people's hearts can always be detected, then those who are able to perceive everything so keenly will gradually be enveloped and swallowed by the darkness.

"It's nothing. I just went through some things and thought about a lot." Wanyan Kang said reluctantly.

Wanyan Kang could accept the malicious intentions of Ouyang Ke, Sha Tongtian, Liang Ziweng and others without any hindrance because he never had any expectations of these people.

If he felt unhappy, Wanyan Kang could even draw his sword and kill him, solving the root cause of the trouble physically.

But he couldn't use this method on Wanyan Honglie.

I could only feel carefully that the malice and estrangement between the two of them was growing stronger and stronger.

Wanyan Honglie couldn't help but feel agitated when he noticed Wanyan Kang's resistance and refusal to communicate. The series of misfortunes in recent days, combined with Wanyan Kang's true identity, made the cinnabar mole on his palm look more and more like mosquito blood.

As the saying goes, "Love the house and love the crow." Now that it has no house, how can the crow still be lovable?
Wanyan Honglie himself didn't dare to think about what Wanyan Honglie would do if he had a second son.

No longer wanting to beat around the bush, Wanyan Honglie changed his tone and said, "Kang'er! You've been traveling in Jiangnan for so long, have you ever heard of Emperor Yuan of Liang's priceless treasure?"

This was the purpose of his recalling Wanyan Kang. In Wanyan Kang's perception, Wanyan Honglie's entire mood became warm and excited, with huge expectations.

The originally strong father-son relationship became even more dull amidst such expectations, just like a piece of candy wrapped in poison, whose sweet outer coating was finally washed away by clean water.

In the original story, Wanyan Honglie went south to obtain Wu Mu's posthumous books, but in fact, ten copies of Wu Mu's posthumous books are not as good as one treasure of Emperor Yuan of Liang.

After all, wars are fought with money and food. The reason why Yue Fei's army was invincible was not only because Yue Fei was a military genius and his soldiers were all heroes, but also because Yue Fei received financial support from many aspects. The "slogan" of "welcoming back the two saints" was not because Yue Fei had no political acumen, but because if he didn't say so, he would not even have the money to fight.

The Jin Dynasty now seemed to be thriving, but it was almost running out of fuel.

After years of tug-of-war with the Song Dynasty, it seemed that the Southern Song Dynasty was riddled with holes, but in fact, the Jin Dynasty itself had been infected with too many bad habits by the flashy Song Dynasty.

Almost all the problems and issues that emerged in the Southern Song Dynasty court could be found in the Jin Dynasty.

Although the Jin Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, it was far inferior to the Southern Song Dynasty in terms of wealth accumulation and political skills. Therefore, the seemingly shaky Southern Song Dynasty could still enjoy prosperity in a corner, while the powerful Jin Dynasty had already reached a precarious situation.

If he could get the treasure of Emperor Yuan of Liang, Wanyan Honglie would have the confidence to form a team among the young and reformist factions of the Jin Dynasty and gradually realize his political and military ambitions. After all, no matter what he did, he would need money and food.

When that time really comes, will it still matter whether the child is my biological son or not?

"Kang'er! As long as your father gets the priceless treasure, you will have the opportunity to get more support. When your father becomes the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, you will be the future crown prince." Wanyan Honglie made a promise that he himself did not quite believe.

He would not tell Wanyan Kang that on the hundredth day after Bao Xiruo's death, he took in several beauties from the south of the Yangtze River who bore some resemblance to Bao Xiruo.

Although Wanyan Honglie is over 40 years old, he is still strong and healthy. It is not only a good age to work hard, but also a good time to have children.

Wanyan Kang hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I have never heard of it."

He actually knew that Ding Dian might have given the treasure to Guo Jing before his death.

After all, Ding Dian only met him and Guo Jing alone in the end. If he didn't get the clue to the treasure, then it would only be Guo Jing.

Under normal circumstances, Wanyan Kang would definitely choose to betray Guo Jing and use the information about the treasure in exchange for Wanyan Honglie's favor. The position of the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty was indeed very attractive to him.

Wanyan Kang was very eager for powerful martial arts, status and power, wealth and beauty. He was not an ascetic monk. On the contrary, as a demon in his body, his desires were much stronger than ordinary people.

But Wanyan Kang, who was extremely sensitive at this moment, could clearly sense the changes in Wanyan Honglie's emotions.

When it came to naming him the crown prince, the insincerity in his words was as bright as the moon hanging in the sky in Wanyan Kang's perception.

If the initial care was still about half sincere, then the promise at this moment would not even be nine out of nine falsehoods and one true.

Wanyan Kang felt a chill in his heart, as if he was falling into an endless abyss.

For some reason, at this moment Wanyan Honglie's face seemed to overlap with Ling Tui Si, whom he despised.

It's like being hit by some vicious curse!

"Really not?"

"Kang'er! Think about it again... Think about that Ding Dian. Did he say anything special to you before he died?" Wanyan Honglie grabbed Wanyan Kang's arm and shook it hard, like a drowning man grabbing at a life-saving straw.

He had obviously already investigated a lot of things, and now he was questioning Wanyan Kang, which was really deliberate.

"Really do not have!"

"Brother Ding only taught me a martial art, but it is of great help to me. If it is leaked, it will be easy for others to find out the flaws." Wanyan Kang said, and then added to Wanyan Honglie: "Of course, if father wants to know this martial art, I will copy it down and show it to father."

Wanyan Honglie immediately said, "Okay! Remember to write carefully, don't miss any words, and even mark the punctuation clearly."

Wanyan Kang's eyes gradually became dim.

He will not really write about the "Shen Zhao Gong", but will slightly modify the more dangerous and obsessive parts of the Jia Yi Divine Art and publish them.

Anyway, only he knows what Ding Dian taught specifically.

Wanyan Kang on this side was badly wounded because he looked directly into people's hearts, and Guo Jing on the other side was almost beaten to pieces.
