Diji Cultivation Manual

"You did the right thing." Liu Chunian repeated again softly, with a somewhat erratic voice, "You will be a very good emperor in the future, much better than me. Nanliang is blessed to have you in Nanliang."

"Master?" Nan Qiao somehow could see some despair from her immobile face, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Chunian woke up like a dream, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's nothing, I just remembered some past events."

Nan Qiao hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Master, have you ever done anything you regret?"

"Everyone will make mistakes and regret it. What do you mean?" Liu Chunian's loneliness just now seemed to be just an illusion, and she immediately put on a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't mention those things, people always want to ask Look ahead."

Nan Qiao could hear the perfunctory in her words, but she didn't expose her, just nodded along with her voice.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Liu Chunian felt a little helpless when he saw her hesitating to speak, "Just ask, as long as you don't exceed the limit, I can answer you."

Nan Qiao just got relieved after getting her promise, and slowly sat beside her: "Master, what do you think of me, do you regard me as a young apprentice? When will you be able to treat Bai Qing like you did to Bai Qing?" And me?"

After asking, she carefully turned her head to look at Liu Chunian's face, for fear of missing any subtle expressions.

Hearing her childish question, Liu Chunian was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "How I look at a person depends on her temperament, not her age. I met me, and I gave her the opportunity to let her enter the court as an official, and she reported to me that Qiong Yao would serve me. The two of us have always been in harmony in political views, and our personal friendship is also very good. You are different from Bai Qing, and I Not to mention fellow travellers, how can they be compared?"

"Then why are you and I not fellow travelers?" Nan Qiao frowned, and suddenly remembered the matter of Huguo Temple.

At the beginning, she could feel Liu Chunian's closeness to her, but it was from that incident that Liu Chunian began to avoid her.

Before Liu Chunian could answer, she asked hesitantly, "Is it because of the Huguo Temple incident?"

Liu Chunian pinched his knuckles subconsciously, and nodded: "I remember I told you that there is no right or wrong in many things, only differences. At first, I only wanted to raise you into a 'perfect' Di Ji, I have instilled into you all the thoughts I agree with, but since the Huguo Temple calamity, I suddenly understood——you are not me. With your heart, you will never be me, so I give up and continue to be me. taught you something."

Nan Qiao looked at her puzzled: "What do you mean by that?"

"You have a kind heart. Even at such a critical moment, you would rather lay down your own life than watch those women suffer humiliation. But I am different. I am an extremely cold person, and I have nothing to do with kindness." Liu Chunian analyzed in detail He explained to her confidently, "This is our difference. Even if you are an emperor, you will be a wise emperor, but I am not. We will look at everything from different angles and make different choices. So what Can you be called a fellow traveler?"

"Don't refute me yet," Liu Chunian stopped Nan Qiao who was about to speak, and looked sideways at her, "Tell me, if you encounter something like that outside Huguo Temple again, what will you choose? "

Nan Qiao wanted to say that he would obey her, but he couldn't say it anyway.

She was silent for a long time, and finally said as if resigned to her fate: "Indeed, if I encounter such a thing again, I will not just sit idly by. I can't just sit and watch someone suffer in front of me. But that's just because I'm too Weak, as long as I keep getting stronger, one day I will be able to save those people while protecting you and me."

Liu Chunian covered his lips with his hands and coughed a few times, then nodded and said, "This is indeed a way."

After she said this lightly, she refused to speak again.Sometimes she really doesn't like staying with Nan Qiao, like now - Nan Qiao will only make her feel more cruel, and she has to look directly at her sinister and cold heart.

Nan Qiao noticed her burnout, and didn't know how to start a conversation for a while.

It's true that she likes Liu Chunian, but this kind of liking will not be unlimited accommodation, at least in this kind of fundamental matter, she can't obey Liu Chunian without conscience.

Nan Qiao didn't know about Liu Chunian's past, and Liu Chunian didn't have the habit of opening his wounds for others to see, so the two had to take a step back and broke up unhappy.

Since that day, Liu Chunian has caught the wind and cold again. In addition, her health is very weak. She is groggy all day long, and has no energy to take care of other affairs, so she has been lying in bed for several days.

Illness comes like a mountain down, sickness goes like a thread.

By the time she was able to concentrate on handling affairs, it had been more than half a month, and there was a lot of turmoil in the Nanliang government and the opposition.

"Princess Yanyu went to the northern border after all, and replaced Yan Li. Yan Li just returned to Beijing yesterday." Qi Zhu took the letterhead and read her recent affairs, "In addition, Emperor Liang a few days ago Finding a reason to demote a general, she can be regarded as quite prestigious, but for some reason she was suddenly demoted."

Liu Chunian leaned on the beauty's bed and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Hearing what Qi Zhu said, he thought for a while and asked, "Did she complain about illness earlier?"

"Indeed." Qi Zhu was a little surprised why Liu Chunian knew about this, and replied through the information collected by his servants, "She was sick and recuperated for a while, and only returned to the court a few days ago. He was demoted as soon as he returned.”

"That's it, I'm afraid she belongs to Princess Renjia." Liu Chunian sat up straight, and vaguely heard the sound of music playing in the distance, "When Nan Qiao came earlier, she said that she was available to the court. One of the generals returned to his hometown, Ding You, and the other suddenly fell ill, so he had to send Princess Yanyu to the north to change his defense. As soon as Princess Yanyu left, the general who was sick was cured. How can there be such a coincidence in the world ? I'm afraid Nan Qiao also saw it, and asked Emperor Liang to find a fault and reprimand her."

Qi Zhu nodded after hearing her explanation: "That makes sense, but looking at it this way, Diji Nanqiao has grown a lot."

"She wasn't stupid in the first place, it was just that she didn't pay attention before, but now she is willing to pay attention, so it's completely different from before." Putting on a coat, Liu Chunian leisurely walked to the window and opened the carved window. Cool air rushed in.

Qi Zhu was a little puzzled by her actions, and persuaded: "Your wind and cold are still not cured, so it's better not to rush."

"I have a sense of propriety." Liu Chunian casually said something perfunctory, and looked into the distance with his head slightly, "Why did I hear some music coming, this music doesn't sound like Nanliang's music, but rather..."

She paused, went through the tune in her mind, and said firmly: "It looks like a tune from Chu State."

"That's true." Qi Zhu is proficient in the rhythms of various countries, and when he knew what she said was right, he thought for a while and suddenly realized, "I forgot about it, but it's not a big deal."

Liu Chunian looked back at him, and he smiled and said, "There were rumors a few days ago, but you didn't know about it because you were sick. It was said that Liao Jiuniang from Chu State was coming to Nanliang in the near future. She must have come."

Qi Zhu's piano skills are also quite famous in Nanliang, but she pales in comparison with Liao Jiuniang, who is a well-known musician.

This Liao Jiuniang is a master of both sex and art. It is rumored that she is proficient in hundreds of musical instruments, her dancing posture is peerless, and her appearance is even more magnificent. It is impossible to find a second such powerful woman in the whole world.It's just that she has become more expensive these years, and she rarely performs in public.

Someone once had the honor to see Liao Jiuniang's singing and dancing, and praised her as "a world of music, music, and dance".

"That's Liao Jiuniang, the fourth person in the 'Eight Desolation Beauty List'?" Liu Chunian leaned quite leisurely by the window, watching the battle in the distance, "She is really a big show. Let's catch up with God Ji Yizhang."

In the early years, I don't know who was so boring that he actually tossed out a "Beauty List", and I don't know if he has seen all these beauties, but he also commented on them one by one.Most people in the world are a bit bored, but it spread more and more widely, and in the end, almost everyone in the wilderness knew about this beauty list.

That person was quite obedient, and in order not to cause trouble, he said knowingly and wittily, "The emperors and concubines of all countries are all immortals and cannot be desecrated, and we mortals dare not see the face of the sky", so he did not rank any emperors on this list. It also saves a lot of controversy.

Liu Chunian had heard of this list of beauties in the eight wildernesses when he had nothing to do, so although he had never met him, he still had some impressions of this Liao Jiuniang.

Now she is standing on the attic, looking down at Liao Jiuniang's bike frame coming from afar, interested to see if this beauty list is worthy of its name.

Four powerful maids carried a special sedan chair slowly. The sedan chair did not have a roof, and the walls were all made of white gauze.Liu Chunian's eyes had always been good, and he could vaguely tell that it was the valuable 'Three Chi Snow'.Three-foot snow is a famous silk brocade in Chu State. People who can afford it have always been rich or expensive, and there are very few people who can use it to make sedan chairs like Liao Jiuniang.

Sitting in the sedan chair is a woman dressed in purple. Her figure can be vaguely seen through the layers of veils. She looks hazy and charming, very attractive.It's just a figure, but it makes people feel a little inexplicably itchy.

Behind the sedan chair, there were two rows of maids holding purple jade flutes, dressed in white and purple gauze, playing the flute all the way, attracting countless passers-by.

Liao Jiuniang's frame was getting closer and closer, and ordinary people who followed along the way and wanted to see the beauty also followed, and the bustling was very lively.

Liu Chunian had just recovered from a serious illness, and he really couldn't bear this noisy environment, so he was going to close the window and leave.

Unexpectedly, there happened to be a gust of wind blowing, and the white gauze on the sedan chair was blown up, just revealing the legendary face of Liao Jiuniang, which caused everyone to exclaim.

Liu Chunian's hand closing the window paused slightly, and met Liao Jiuniang's gaze with a half-smile.
