The Bad Guys: Playing the Fake Li Xingyun at the Beginning

Ever since she fled to Qianqiu Palace a few days ago to avoid You Chuan, Chi Meng seemed to be interested in this matter. From then on, whenever Su Ming was reviewing memorials, she would stay by his side, pouring tea and water for him, washing his brush and grinding ink.

After a few days, Su Ming got used to it and even welcomed it. How could he not be willing to get closer to them?

Chapter 195 Use this to test cadres?

Sometimes, when Su Ming was reviewing memorials, Chi Meng would watch and somehow her face would turn red. Her eyes would become more moist and she would stir her little hands nervously.

He was still confused, and when he realized he was looking at her again, the girl avoided his gaze again, not daring to look him in the face.

But even so, Chi Meng still came every day and stayed for several hours. Yelu Zhiwu was simple-minded and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But how could the empress not see Chi Meng's thoughts? The girl's immature and ignorant thoughts made her intentions very clear.

However, if it were in the past, the empress might have been jealous and thrown a tantrum, but now facing Yuan Tiangang, her mortal enemy, the empress wished he would increase the power around him.

She knew about You Chuan's appearance, so she acquiesced to Su Ming taking Chi Meng into the harem, and even gave up Qianqiu Palace to leave the two of them enough space to be alone.

The empress appeared to be magnanimous on the surface, but as a woman, she couldn't help being jealous. In the past few nights, she had been extremely charming and had tossed him around several times, as if she would not stop until she had drained him dry.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do it every time.

Suddenly, Su Ming put down his red brush and started chatting with her, "Chi Meng, the people of Raojiang have lived in the Shiwan Mountains for generations. There are poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts everywhere. Have you ever thought about moving out?"

Chi Meng propped up his little head, thought for a while, and said, "No, we are used to it. The poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains can't hurt us. It's just that every time we go out of the mountains, the people in the village have to walk for a long time."

"My grandfather told me that our Raojiang once left the Shiwan Mountains three hundred years ago, but later encountered war and has lived in seclusion in the mountains ever since."

"Except for those we know well, we generally have little contact with outsiders, and outsiders are not allowed in."

Su Ming understood and nodded, "Indeed, in troubled times, harsh government is more ferocious than a tiger. Wars, natural disasters, and man-made disasters are endless. In comparison, the people of Raojiang live with poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Although their lives are a bit hard, they can at least survive."

Hearing this, Chi Meng nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, Grandpa said the same thing." Then, she looked at Su Ming again, her eyes full of admiration, "Little brother, you really know a lot."

Su Ming touched her head and said with a smile, "There are some truths. You will understand them naturally if you read more books. The story of Peach Blossom Spring is not strange or bizarre. Maybe Tao Yuanming really saw such a place."

"In this chaotic world, it is not easy to find a piece of pure land. Raojiang's way of survival also stems from this, not only now, but also in the future."

Any ethnic group has its own specific way of survival, such as the ethnic minorities on the grasslands and the Raojiang people in the Ten Thousand Mountains. They adapt to local conditions and the times. These people can survive natural selection, so they naturally have no lack of survival wisdom.

The witch king Chi Li was determined to get the people of Raojiang out of the Shiwan Mountains and establish their own country. This idea could not be said to be wrong, but it was not correct either.

If the Central Plains dynasty is weak, there is nothing wrong with you doing this, but once the Central Plains dynasty becomes strong, this will be a way to death. Although you can establish a short-lived glory, a war of annihilation will inevitably cause heavy casualties among the people of Raojiang.

Either they surrender to the iron cavalry of the Central Plains dynasty, or they die and their clan is wiped out, with only the remnants retreating back to the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The people of Raojiang, who have lost their autonomy, can only become leeks and be cut at will. Retreating to the Shiwan Mountains means repeating the old path of their ancestors. Moreover, after seeing the prosperous world outside, can those people really settle down and survive in the mountains like their ancestors did?

Just as his mind was in a state of confusion, he suddenly felt a warm touch on his hand. Su Ming was stunned to find that Chi Meng had placed her small hand on the back of his hand without him noticing. Her face was full of shyness and blushing cheeks, revealing a different kind of beauty.

Wow, using this to test cadres?

Girl, do you know that little white rabbits are meant to be eaten?

Seeing that she was so proactive, Su Ming could no longer bear it. He immediately took her into his arms and ravaged her wantonly. It was a long time before he reluctantly let her go.

At this time, Chi Meng fell into his arms, her clothes were slightly messy, her white neck was covered with kiss marks, and her pair of clear eyes were misty and blurry, as if something was about to overflow.

The cherry-like mouth was swollen and slightly open, revealing snow-white teeth.

When she came to her senses, shyness appeared in her watery eyes and she punched Su Ming lightly, "Little brother, you are so bad!" Her voice was shy and soft, very sweet.

Su Ming raised his lips, put his arm around her waist, leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me tonight."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Meng gave him a look of anger and smile, then ran away with her face covered.

Su Ming watched her leave until her figure disappeared, his heart filled with pride. He knew that Chi Meng was already in his pocket and could not escape.

Playing hard to get and playing hard to get, these tactics really work for a little girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

Before he could even exert any strength, Chi Meng came to him.

When pursuing a girl, you need to be strategic and not just rush in. You need to push and pull the relationship appropriately, and alternate between hot and cold, so that you can win the heart of the girl and finally confess your love to her.

If Su Ming had stuck to Chi Meng from the beginning, taken her out to play, and stayed with her, not to mention the possible appearance of You Chuan, Chi Meng would certainly enjoy his pursuit.

But the relationship will not develop so quickly. Instead, it will make her become spoiled and indulge in enjoyment, while ignoring him.

On the contrary, Su Ming knew that Chi Meng was not interested in You Chuan, but he still brought him back to the palace. On the one hand, he wanted to recruit him for his own purposes, and on the other hand, he wanted him to assist him.

You Chuan is the example he mentioned above. He rushed forward blindly, only knowing how to accompany and protect silently, but ignored Chi Meng's emotional changes and instead pushed her to Su Ming.

Otherwise, do you think Su Ming dares to bring him to the palace? Does he think he has the fetish of the Minotaur?

Under the eaves of the palace in the distance, You Chuan stood there looking at Chi Meng's fleeing back, his eyes full of bitterness. He glanced at the Qianqiu Palace where Su Ming was, pondered for a long while, and finally did not have the courage to take that step, and left dejectedly.

……

At night, Chi Meng sat on the bed, stirring her hands restlessly, her face flushed, her purple eyes filled with water, showing both shyness and fear.

She had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and now, she finally won the little brother over and took that step.

Although she was frightened, Chi Meng kept cheering herself up until she heard familiar footsteps outside the door, which made her subconsciously tense up and try to pretend nothing had happened.

Su Ming walked to the front of the house, pushed open the door, and walked in slowly. His slow steps seemed to step on Chi Meng's heart, making it beat faster and faster.

Yelu Zhiwu was menstruating and could not have sex, so he had no worries, and the empress didn't have to worry either.

Tonight, the right time, right place and right people all come together!

Chapter 196 Rao Jiang's Love Gu

The night is hazy and a cool breeze is blowing.

The atmosphere in the room was charming and lively. After Su Ming entered the room, he noticed the heavy breathing and heartbeats in the room. He walked through the front hall and went to the inner room.

Behind the screen, Chi Meng looked at the person who came, becoming more and more nervous, his body tense as if on a string.

Su Ming smiled, his eyes full of tenderness. He stepped forward and put his arms around her waist, then the bed curtain fell.

After a while, the room was filled with weeping and complaining sounds, which continued until midnight.

However, what Su Ming didn't know was that in the palace corridor hundreds of meters away, a figure stood there, motionless for a long time, looking lonely, sad, and full of helplessness.

He watched Su Ming enter the room but did not stop him. After a long silence, he took off the bone flute from his waist and played it softly. The low, sobbing melody mixed with the sound of the wind seemed like he was crying or grieving.

……

Late at night, Chi Meng had already fallen asleep, her pretty face was full of an alluring blush, her eyes were slightly red, as if there were traces of tears.

Su Ming sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky, practicing martial arts.

Since coming to this world, Su Ming has never slacked off in his practice, except for the initial period when he did not practice with Zhang Zifan and the others for fear of arousing suspicion. After ascending the throne in Luoyang, he practiced every day without interruption.

No matter how busy or tired he is, he will take time out every day to practice Tiangang Jue and enhance his skills. With the martial arts provided by the system, he has no shortage of martial arts moves.

For him, the only thing he lacks now is the accumulation of skills. After all, Yuan Tiangang's three hundred years of internal strength is really too terrifying.

Ever since he ended his virginity with Yelu Zhiwu, he has embarked on another path. Pure practice would accumulate power too slowly, so he took a fancy to the Taoist dual cultivation.

At the beginning, he only knew some rudimentary methods of dual cultivation, simply refining essence into qi.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after his wedding, Zhang Zifan's mother, Xu Huan Zhenren, sent him a Taoist secret book on dual cultivation. With the dual cultivation method from Tianshi Mansion, Su Ming's practice efficiency improved a lot.

Yelu Zhiwu and the empress are both masters of the Great Heavenly Level, with rich Yin essence. Practicing dual cultivation with them can achieve twice the result with half the effort, and both men and women can benefit, rather than one-sided plunder.

Now, after accomplishing what he had done with Chi Meng, he naturally would not waste this opportunity. After finishing the task, he would start to refine her pure Yin power.

After completing the circulation of the Qi in the body, Su Ming felt that the true Qi in his body had become stronger, and a faint joy emerged in his heart. This is the good thing about practicing martial arts. After breaking through the bottleneck, he can clearly feel his skills improving bit by bit.

This feeling of slowly becoming stronger and gaining power is fascinating.

If Li Siyuan's Supreme Saint Qiankun Gong had not reached a bottleneck and was unable to break through, he would not have taken the risk of offending the Tianshi Mansion when he was still young and fragile.

That was too risky for an old coin and was not in line with his style.

But the path of martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Especially in this chaotic world, power and wealth are only temporary benefits and cannot be relied upon. Only one's own strength is the capital for survival.

If Li Siyuan was not strong, he would have died on the battlefield long ago and would not be what he is today.

This principle also applies to Su Ming. Although he had already made preparations, when facing Yuan Tiangang, the stronger he was, the greater his chance of survival.

After finishing the training, Su Ming did not leave, but lay down beside Chi Meng and held her in his arms.

Gradually, his breathing became smoother and he fell asleep.

However, after he fell asleep, Chi Meng slowly opened her eyes. She greedily sniffed Su Ming's breath, felt his body temperature, her eyes full of love.

The next moment, a golden spot of light appeared on her fingertips, and with the naked eye it was vaguely visible that it was a small insect. As the saint of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, Chi Meng was proficient in witchcraft.

The women in Raojiang are passionate. It is said that every woman will cultivate a love Gu when she grows up. When she finds the man she loves, she will plant it on him to prevent him from changing his mind.

And Chi Meng, as the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, is naturally no exception.

According to convention, she should have planted the love Gu in Su Ming long ago, but for various reasons she had delayed it until now. Only after she handed herself over did she plan to plant the love Gu.

But suddenly, she hesitated.

After the love poison was planted, Su Ming could only love himself and not touch other women. However, Chi Meng felt sad when he thought of the simple Yelu Zhiwu and the graceful, beautiful and peerless empress.

After hesitating for a long time, just when Chi Meng made up her mind to plant the love Gu, the scene of Su Ming reviewing memorials at his desk in Qianqiu Palace suddenly emerged in her mind.

She could certainly plant the love poison, but, after being poisoned, would he really only love her?

Thinking of Yelu Zhiwu, the empress, and the information about the concubines she had seen before, Chi Meng gradually wavered. Perhaps, this poison should not be administered.

She sighed, put away the love poison, tightened the quilt around her, leaned in Su Ming's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

After she fell asleep, Su Ming's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened. He looked down, reached out his hand to caress her pretty face, changed his posture, and fell asleep.

He was not familiar with witchcraft, but he learned a lot about the Ten Thousand Poison Cave from Li Wentong, which mentioned love witchcraft. How could Su Ming not be on guard?

Originally, he was planning to wake up when Chi Meng was about to take action, but he didn't expect that she actually gave up in the end, which really surprised him.

……

On the other side, in the manor, after Yuan Tiangang explained some things to Meng Po and Jing Xin Mo, he set off for Luoyang to clean up the mess and handed Li Xingyun and Ji Ruxue to them.

Facing the old Meng Po, Jing Xin Mo did not dare to act rashly and said respectfully, "Meng Po, you are a senior. When do you plan to arrange your departure?"

Although he heard that Meng Po's actual name was Shi Yao, and that she was a very charming and beautiful woman, Jing Xin Mo did not dare to talk nonsense.

"Since the Marshal has entrusted this matter to us, we must do it for him. You go and accompany His Highness and ask when he is leaving. Remember, do not reveal any information about the Marshal's plan. Never let anything slip." Meng Po said slowly, leaning on a cane.

"Okay, leave this to me, Meng Po, don't worry." Jing Xin Mo nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What about Luoyang?"

If the Marshal was here, he naturally wouldn't dare to ask, but since he wasn't here, Wangzai had nothing to worry about.

Meng Po glanced at him and knew that Jing Xin Mo was taking a big risk by saying this. However, she also knew his attitude. Meng Po's expression relaxed and she said in a friendly manner, "I will send a message to Luoyang. This is all we can do. The rest depends on his luck."
