Chapter 269 Prelude to the Riot
The price for being a bitch is to be assigned ten homework assignments by a beautiful master.
Even asking for mercy in the form of massage is of no use.
But one thing to say is that the amber beads are indeed quite sweet when held in the mouth, a bit like the flavor of mint and green apple.
After Jiang Shouzhong painstakingly read ten articles about abstinence, Dugu Luoxue handed him the sewn clothes: "The size has been changed, it should be suitable."
"It's ready so quickly?" Jiang Shouzhong asked in surprise.
“Put it on and try it on.”
Dugu Luoxue’s eyebrows were slightly soft.
Jiang Shouzhong put on new clothes and came to the mirror.
The clothes are like tailor-made clothes, every stitch and thread fit just right, making the body more slender and straight, like a graceful jade tree in the forest, standing in the wind.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly became a little distracted.
Besides Sister Ye, Dugu Luoxue is the only one who makes clothes for him.
He never felt that the relationship between the two was very close, even if it was now a master-disciple relationship.
And he also knew that the other party's purpose of accepting him as his disciple was to hone his Taoist heart, and to try to get back a win in the previous discussion... It was purposeful.
But this woman did fulfill her responsibilities as a master very seriously.
Indeed, I am sincerely good to him.
What kind of woman is this?
The upright and rigid Confucian master, the delicate thoughts of women, the aloofness and arrogance of top monks, and the deep-rooted attributes of a good wife and mother, coupled with the temperament of pursuing "abstinence"...
Nothing No doubt, this woman is definitely very attractive.
"What? Are you uncomfortable?"
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong in a daze, Dugu Luoxue asked.
Jiang Shouzhong came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "I just lamented Master's ingenuity. There are very few practitioners who know how to do such mundane needlework."
Dugu Luoxue stepped forward and straightened the man's sleeves, and said softly:
"The world of mortals refines the heart, and it is necessary to walk, stand, sit and lie down in daily life. Dressing and eating are nothing more than a wonderful way, just live a simpler life."
Jiang Shouzhong said with a smile: "If you cultivate your body with simple food and simple meals, cultivate your body with a pure heart and few desires, you will be able to show your simplicity, right?"
A slight smile appeared on the corners of Dugu Luoxue's lips, and she raised her finger and flicked the man's forehead: "Well, my apprentice is very wise, keep it up."
Jiang Shouzhong looked at the woman's delicate and pure face at close range, My heart felt hot and I couldn't help but said: "Master, haven't you ever thought about getting married? Why do you have to be abstinent? In fact, it's good to have a taste of love between men and women."
Dugu Luoxue raised her head Staring at him angrily: "You want to do your homework again?"
Jiang Shouzhong laughed twice.
Dugu Luoxue saw that the man's hair was a little messy. He picked up the wooden comb on the table and combed it, and said:
"As a practitioner, you should always pursue something that belongs to you. I don't think there is anything wrong with my abstinence. I am also working hard to prove that I am right."
Listening to the stubbornness in the woman's words, Jiang Shouzhong Reluctantly, she gave up her words of persuasion and asked instead: "Master, if I am no longer your disciple, will you still be so kind to me?"
Dugu Luoxue paused while combing her hair and said calmly:
"Whenever you successfully abstain from sex, you can no longer be my apprentice."
"It's difficult, I am just a normal and lustful man."
Jiang Shouzhong sighed.
After combing her hair, Dugu Luoxue took two steps back and looked at Jiang Shouzhong, nodded with satisfaction, then opened her lips and said softly:
"It doesn't matter, I will eventually find a way to solve it, let If you agree with the concept of being a teacher and pass on the 'Tao of Abstinence', I believe you will do better than being a teacher."
Jiang Shouzhong kindly reminded: "Master, there is no need for you to waste your efforts. To be honest, if you want to observe me having sex with other women, you will end up in trouble. If you don’t watch this thing, you will be confused and obsessed.”
“You are too underestimated. Master." Dugu Luoxue said with a smile, "If your heart is pure, everything will be calm."
"How about we pull a hook?"
The man held out his little finger.
Dugu Luoxue hesitated for a moment, stretched out her slender white little finger, and gently hooked it with the other party.
But the next second the woman suddenly retracted her hand.
Maybe it was instinctive, maybe it was from inner fear... In short, she felt inexplicably worried and fearful at this moment, and there were some fluctuations in Gujing Mubo's state of mind.
"Get some rest early."
Dugu Luoxue turned around and left Jiang Shouzhong's house.
......
After simply washing his face, Dugu Luoxue sat at the desk, picked up the pen dipped in ink, and started writing.
When you are writing, you can most calm your mind.
After her troubled mind completely calmed down, Dugu Luoxue took off her outer shirt, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and meditated.
The next moment, she entered her dojo.
In the dojo, there is vast white snow, and the heaven and earth are pure and flawless.
Just like her heart.
Dugu Luoxue formed her handprints and began to recite "The Secret of Abstinence" silently: "Look at your heart, forget about things and myself, watch the mourning platform quietly, not stained by dust, those who have no desires have no worries..."
< br>
Gradually, the surrounding scenery became strange, and red and pink skeletons quietly appeared.
These red and pink bones slowly turned into her appearance.
Every finger bone and the outline of every skull coincide with her figure.
The fallen leaves are falling in the air.
So countless Dugu Luoxue appeared in this supposedly flawless world. They took brooms and carefully swept the fallen leaves, as if they were cleaning away the distracting thoughts in their hearts.
The way of abstinence pays attention to tranquility and purity of mind.
Only by keeping your soul pure and flawless at all times can you pursue the great road.
However, at this moment, Dugu Luoxue was shocked to find that there was a leaf that could not be cleaned. Although the broom swept over, the leaves were still there, as if they were stuck there.
Dugu Luoxue frowned slightly and walked to Ye Zi.
She gently raised her bare hands, picked up the fallen leaf, and stared at it carefully.
There are no traces of ordinary veins on the leaves. Instead, they are as smooth as a mirror, without any flaws, as if they have been carefully polished.
Inner demon?
Dugu Luoxue thought for a moment, but didn't care. He gently twisted his jade fingers, and the leaves broke into countless light spots.
However, the light spot that was supposed to disappear turned into a human shape.
It’s Jiang Shouzhong!
Before Dugu Luoxue could react, Jiang Shouzhong, who was transformed from the inner demon in front of her, hugged her slender waist and kissed her lips domineeringly.
Boom——
Dugu Luoxue’s eyes widened, her brain buzzing.
She quickly waved and exited the dojo.
When she returned to reality, she was dripping with sweat. A few beads of sweat fell from her forehead, along her delicate neck, and submerged into the gauze gown, leaving stains.
Finally, he collapsed on the bed, his chest rising and falling, and he gasped for air.
“Why?”
Dugu Luoxue slowly tightened her grip on the sheets, her fingers turned blue and white, and her eyes were full of unwillingness and confusion.
Why can’t you get rid of your inner demons?
Obviously she has worked very hard to put herself in a state of emptiness, so why does her inner demon always exist in the dojo?
What should I do?
The woman lay softly on the bed, feeling exhausted inside.
A few strands of glossy black hair, damp with sweat, gently clung to her jade-like cheeks, adding a touch of tenderness, and her skin turned a faint cherry red as she breathed.
She looked at the next room, her expression full of helplessness, and murmured: "This kid is really my nemesis." However, a strong woman will not be discouraged.
She firmly believed that she could eradicate her inner demons and restore the dojo to a clean, desire-free state.
She firmly believed that Jiang Mo would successfully abstain from sex.
"I... will never give up!" the woman secretly encouraged.
……
Six doors.
The study is brightly lit.
Ran Qingchen, who had recovered from his injuries, was sitting at his desk, looking at the letter delivered by Fei Ying from the capital, his eyebrows furrowed.
"The imperial court does not believe that there will be a rebellion in Qingzhou."
Ran Qingchen looked at Yuan Anjiang who was pacing back and forth in the study and asked worriedly, "What should we do now?"< br>
Yuan Anjiang also had a headache, and said with his hands behind his back:
"This secret letter came from the Ministry of War. It is believed that General Zhao will not rebel. However, it seems that Your Majesty has not received it yet, or His Majesty's oral instructions have not yet arrived.
I have already written to the teacher. Let him go to your Majesty in person."
Ran Qingchen said: "Is it too late?"
Yuan Anjiang. He looked helpless: "It's too late and there's nothing we can do. If the higher-ups don't say anything, we can't deprive General Zhao of his military power. Commander Shen and the internal guards don't dare to take responsibility.
Fortunately, the prince is still there now In Qingzhou, if there is a decree from the prince, we can mobilize the troops of Fengtou Camp to not only suppress the rebellion, but also defend the city against the army of Nanjin Kingdom."
He turned around and looked at Ran Qingchen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master Ran, actually you can leave Qingzhou first."
Ran Qingchen refused without hesitation: "If Jiang Mo doesn't leave, I Don't leave."
"That boy..."
Just as Yuan Anjiang was about to say something, Commander Shen came in a hurry and said in a deep voice:
"Master Yuan, I His subordinates have handed over the prince's decree to General Yang of Fengtou Camp, and General Yang has promised to cooperate with our actions. However, for the sake of safety, he plans to lead 10,000 troops to secretly enter Qingzhou City to better deal with changes.
The army has already started taking action and will probably enter the city around the end of Yin time tomorrow morning. I have notified the city defense troops and will open the door as soon as General Yang arrives. "
Yuan Anjiang frowned: "Are you too hasty? "
Commander Shen said helplessly: "Master Yuan, you are urging me and saying it is too urgent. What should you do?
You have to understand that once General Zhao really rebels, General Yang will be very passive. After all, Qingzhou City is more than ten miles away. If we encounter an ambush from Nanjin Kingdom on the road... wouldn't that be more troublesome? ”
What Commander Shen said makes sense.
It is impossible for the Nanjin Kingdom not to know that Fengtou Camp has 60,000 soldiers and horses, so they must have made targeted arrangements.
Once Fengtou Camp comes to rescue, it will also be detrimental to Nanjin Kingdom.
The best way is to set up an ambush halfway.
Yuan Anjiang thought for a while and nodded lightly: "At present, this is not bad. It is best if General Yang actively cooperates. General Zhao will continue to keep an eye on it."
" Don’t worry, I sent a few people to keep an eye on him, but there’s nothing unusual about Mr. Zhao at the moment.”
Commander Shen changed the topic and said, "But to be honest, Mr. Yuan, I think Jiang Mo is alarmist. I don't think there will be a rebellion in Qingzhou. The most important thing right now is to arrest Jiang Mo."
Yuan Anjiang picked up the secret letter on the table and read it again, and murmured: "I also hope Jiang Mo is wrong."
After hearing Commander Shen's words, Ran Qingchen was extremely unhappy and said:
"Commander Shen, as an internal guard, you should understand the importance of things. If Qingzhou really falls, do you really think you can escape the responsibility?"
"Master Ran, you are so stupid What do you mean? The imperial court sent me here to arrest Jiang Mo. I have my own responsibilities."
Commander Shen looked ugly.
Ran Qingchen sneered: "I forgot, dogs are all stubborn."
"What did you say!?"
Commander Shen took a step forward and died. He stared at the woman, and the small study room was filled with a strong evil spirit.
Whoosh!
Ran Qingchen slapped the case and stood up: "I said you are a stupid dog, is there a problem?"
"You——"
"That's enough!"
Yuan Anjiang scolded the two of them and said coldly,
"Right now, we are all prey trapped in a cage. If Qingzhou is really in chaos, we will never leave alive. Isn't it interesting to fight in the nest at this time? ?”
Commander Shen's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and he finally snorted coldly and said nothing.
Ran Qingchen wanted to sit back, but thinking about her husband being wronged and now being questioned after investigating the crisis in Qingzhou, the anger he had been holding back these days could not be suppressed after all.
She pointed at Commander Shen and said in a cold voice:
"Jiang Mo is from our Sixth Sect. Now I have investigated and found out that he was wrongly accused. If you inner guards dare again Arrest them, I, Ran Qingchen, will deal with you first!”
Commander Shen laughed angrily: “Master Ran, are you drunk? You dare to deal with us?”
As an imperial master, he only takes orders from the emperor.
No official is qualified to make irresponsible remarks to the internal guards, let alone take action.
“Then give it a try!”
Ran Qingchen waved his sleeves, and the teacup on the table flew up in the air.
The tea then poured out, condensing into an extremely sharp blue sword light in mid-air, carrying the dense fragrance of tea and a murderous aura, and shot straight towards Commander Shen.
Commander Shen was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party would actually dare to take action.
He took a step back, drew a circle with his hands, and formed a circle of air waves that swallowed up all the sharp sword light that shot out, turning the sharpness into an invisible one.
Commander Shen shouted angrily: "Ran Qingchen, are you crazy?"
He was about to strike back with his palms, but thinking about the rumors about the other party's life experience, he had some scruples for a moment.
Just by this hesitation, the woman has already deceived her.
Commander Shen quickly put his arms in front of his face.
Bang!
Commander Shen stepped back several steps, knocked the tables and chairs away, and hit the wall.
Feeling the pain in his arms, Commander Shen became angry. At this time, Yuan Anjiang threw the teacup on the ground: "If you really want to fight, go outside and beat those rebels to death." Best!"
Ran Qingchen snorted, turned around and walked out of the study.
Commander Shen touched his painful arm and complained to Yuan Anjiang:
"Master Yuan, it's not that I want to fight among ourselves. Look at her like that. If you don't know, you might think that Jiang Mo is her man. "
Yuan Anjiang said coldly: "If Qingzhou is really in chaos, you must protect the prince's safety. If the prince has three shortcomings, what's the use of arresting ten Jiang Mo? You really think you can shirk the responsibility."
Commander Shen was startled and understood the other party's unspoken words.
He thought for a while and said helplessly:
"I understand. I will remove the internal guards responsible for arresting Jiang Mo and protect the prince secretly."
...
On the other side, Ran Qingchen returned to the house.
Just as she took off her clothes and prepared to take a bath and rest, a figure suddenly flew down from the ceiling and struck her on the back of the neck.
However, Ran Qingchen seemed to have expected it. Before the opponent could make a move, he drew out his long sword, forced the attacker back, and said coldly: "Li Nanshuang, did I give you face? I really want to kill me. Knocked out and taken away?”
Li Nanshuang pouted her lips and walked out of the shadows: "I'm doing this for your own good."
"You're so good for me, you just want me to leave, and then you and Jiang Mo... "
Halfway through Ran Qingchen's words, a familiar cramping pain suddenly swept through his heart, like a sharp blade silently piercing his chest.
"Do you want me to kill her for you?"
Vaguely, the silver-haired woman appeared behind Li Nanshuang and asked with a smile.
