My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 180
"Return to your hometown in Hebei?" Shi Zhong smiled wryly, "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, are the ministers of the king. As you said, King Zhao's ascension to the throne is a certainty, and Yuan Shi will rely on Zhao Wang Yizhi issued an edict, whether you and my father and son are in Shangluo or our Leling, is it still the same?"

"Father, this world belongs to Emperor Wu. There are so many princes and kings in these four directions. How could they watch Zhao Wang and Yuan Shi usurp Emperor Wu's world?" Shi Chao continued: "Hebei is under the jurisdiction of King CD. Land. Haier and King CD are very familiar. This person is humble and open-minded, and he is also the son of Emperor Wu. Yuan Shi killed the emperor, and also attacked and killed King Huainan. As the relative of King CD, how could he swallow this breath. As long as we After crossing the river, I immediately went to look for King CD, persuaded him to raise the flag of righteousness, spread it to the world, and crusade against the rebels Li Lun and Yuan Shi, so that not only our Shi family will be preserved, but it is also possible to go further."

After listening to Shi Chao's words, Shi Zhong finally looked a lot better. "My son really has the demeanor of your grandfather back then. If my son is like this, I have no regrets. It's just that things haven't reached that point yet."

Seeing that Shi Chao was about to speak anxiously again, he waved his hand to signal Shi Chao to listen to him first: "Our family's property is almost all in Shangluo, and I will not leave here as a father unless it is absolutely necessary. With our family's financial resources and status, What can Yuan Shi do as a father? I have already asked Xiong Yuan to take generous gifts to run through Zhao Wangshizi and others. As a father, I said to Xiong Yuan, don't feel sorry for the property, as long as it can keep our family safe. As for Yuan Shi, as a father, also specifically told Xiong Yuan to visit Yuan Shi. No matter what conditions Yuan Shi said, we can agree to him. I have been a father for so many years, and I have never bowed my head to anyone. It is really not reconciled for the poor family to bow their heads. But thinking about it the other way around, didn’t Yuan Shi just want his father to bow his head in front of him?"

Speaking of this, Shi Zhong's chest bulged, obviously suppressing his anger. "Let this Langya son be arrogant for a while, after this period of limelight, and because of his father's power, he will smash this official into thousands of pieces, so that he can relieve his hatred. As for the matter you said about going back to Hebei to find King CD, It won't be too late to wait for Xiong Yuan and the others to come back."

Yuan Shi moved.

Since Zhou Xing assassinated him last time, his study was burned down by a fire, and he began to search for other places.He didn't dare to think about moving to this new home before, but now no one dares to say anything.

This new house is exactly the former residence of Jin Wen Wang Li Zhao when he was in charge of the Zhou Dynasty!
After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, this house was first lived in by Qi Wang Li You.After Li You's death, the house was vacant.No one dared to make plans for this house, including the current Qi Wang Li Jiong.

When Xiong Yuan came in, he saw many people were constantly busy inside and outside the house, helping this hottest person move things.

"The villain Xiong Yuan kowtows to the Captain." Xiong Yuan followed the people from the Shen residence into the study room, knelt on the ground and kowtowed immediately.

Yuan Shi squinted his eyes, looked at Xiong Yuan who was kneeling on the ground, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Xiong Yuan, long time no see. You and I are both in Shangluo, but I don't think this is the first time we meet after so many years."

"My lord is a majestic official of the imperial court, and this villain is just a servant. Although a villain is dull, he also knows the distinction between superiority and inferiority, and dare not trouble your lord."

The two of them used to work under a chief official of Langya Kingdom, so they were very familiar people back then.

"You are a dignified fifth-rank monk, why did you surrender your status and become a servant in the Shi family?" Yuan Shi continued to ramble.

"The villain's father suffered a misfortune that year. My master helped the villain to find his father's remains, so he buried his father and mother together in his hometown. The villain was grateful to his master Gao Yi, so he voluntarily entered the Shifu as a servant."

"Hmph," Yuan Shi sneered, "Did you tell the Cui family the route where Cui Zhu and I fled south?"

"It was done by villains." Xiong Yuan knelt there as before, admitting the matter without any hesitation.

"Hahahaha," Yuan Shi didn't get angry, but laughed and said, "After so many years, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all. Don't you know how to tell a lie? Are you not afraid that I will punish you now? ?”

"If there is a cause, there must be an effect." Xiong Yuan's tone did not show a trace of panic, but he still said calmly: "The villain did this back then, and the adults are now beating and punishing because of the cause and effect, and the villain has no complaints."

"Xiong Yuan," Yuan Shi still said with a smile on his face: "Master Neishi valued you the most, and hated me the most. He always said that you have a treasure, but that I can't be reused. But look at today, your so-called The instrument of the temple has become a servant, and the villain in the mouth of the historian has become a weapon of the temple. This person has to rely on personal struggle."

Seeing that Xiong Yuanfu didn't answer, he sneered and said, "Okay, my old colleague, tell me, why did your master send you here today?"

"My master asked the villain to come over and apologize to the lord. He said that he had offended the lord by being blind and blind. I hope that you can let go of the past and let the two families turn the war into a jade silk. If this is the case, as long as there is something that the lord likes in the stone mansion, my master will be fine." I will offer it with both hands as soon as possible.”

"Oh, Shi Zhong, who is the richest man in Jin Dynasty, will also bow his head to others?" Shen said with a playful smile, "It's really not easy."

"My master knows that he was wrong, and I hope that you can spare this time, my lord. The whole Shifu must be grateful to you."

"Hmph," Yuan Shi said with a sneer, "let him go? How did I hear that someone brought hundreds of his own servants to the city last night to support the traitor Huainan King Li Yun?"

As soon as Yuan Shi said this, Xiong Yuan, who was still lying on the ground, broke out in a cold sweat immediately.It was early in the morning and outside the city, so few people saw them, and in the darkness, they didn't know who they were or what they were going to do.How did Yuan Shi know about such a secret?

"Reporting to my lord, the villain guarantees with the head of the project, my master has never done this."

"Guaranteed by your head?" Yuan Shi chuckled, "You, Xiong Yuan, are finally lying. It's not easy, it's not easy, Xiong Yuan, who has never told a lie all his life, actually told a lie in order to protect his master. Back then, why didn’t I lie to the Cui family? Could it be that I, Yuan Shi, are not as good as Shi Zhong, who smells like copper?”

"Oh, I remembered. When Cui Zhunan and I fled south, I borrowed some money from you. Didn't it return it to you?"

"The villain dare not!"

"Xiong Yuan," Yuan Shi had come to Xiong Yuan at this time, looked down at this colleague who had a good relationship with him back then, and said slowly: "For the sake of the money that you lent me back then, I will give you a chance, an opportunity that you will never come across in your life. Come to me, I need you to help me with things. You must know that I really lack a reassuring and honest person like you. You As long as you do things with me, I can guarantee you that you will not talk about the three lords, the prefect of a county, or even the governor of a state within a year. You can choose. Don’t you always want the party in power to use what you have learned? ? Come on, I'll give you this chance."

"The villain used to be young and didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and he said some nonsense, but he couldn't take it seriously." Xiong Yuanfu said at Yuan Shi's feet: "The older I get, the more I know how much I have. I am blunt. , I am satisfied to be regarded as the steward of the Shifu by the master. Xiong Yuan is just a servant of the Shifu, with a humble status, and he really does not deserve to be favored by you, Mr. Shen."

Yuan Shi was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice had turned cold, "Xiong Yuan, I have repaid all your kindness to me in the past today, and you and I will not owe anything from now on."

"A grown-up speaks too seriously, but a villain dare not take it."

"Come out." Yuan Shi suddenly raised his head and shouted to the person behind the screen in the study, "Xiong Yuan, raise your head and see who this person is?"

"It's you!" Xiong Yuan raised his head and saw the man who came out from behind the screen and gave him a fearful look, and couldn't help being furious.

"Old Xiong, don't be impatient." Yuan Shi said leisurely, "Why, do you know this person?"

Xiong Yuan naturally knew this person.His name is Hu Cheng, and he is also one of Shi Zhong's most valued men.It's just that he was caught having an affair with a beautiful maid in Zi Ze Garden a few days ago.According to the rules of Shifu, if a man has an affair with a maid, he will have his hand cut off and his penis castrated, or he will be beaten to death if he is serious.It's just that when Shi Zhong was facing employment, Xiong Yuan ordered someone to hit Hu Cheng with a big stick and ordered him to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

Hu Cheng's daily cultivation is extremely outstanding in the garden.He is a servant, not to be graded.But according to Xiong Yuan's opinion, this person can at least be rated as a fifth-rank monk.

Hu Cheng is different from Xiong Yuan.Xiong Yuan entered Shi's mansion halfway and became a servant, and Hu Cheng's father was a servant of Shi's family.His father had served two generations of the Shi family all his life, and was highly valued. Later, the master gave him a maid to be his wife, and Hu Cheng was born from this.According to the laws of the Jin Dynasty, this Hu Cheng has been a servant of the Shi family since he was born.

"Hu Cheng, tell me what you did last night?" Yuan Shi sat back on his seat and asked Hu Cheng calmly.

"Plop." Hu Cheng knelt down on the ground, glanced guiltyly at Xiong Yuan who was also kneeling not far away, first kowtowed vigorously a few times, and then said: "Returning to my lord, last night my master heard that King Huainan was in the city. There was an incident in the garden, so they summoned those capable of fighting in the garden and said they wanted to go to the city to support the King of Huainan. But before they entered the city, they got news from the city that the King of Huainan had been defeated and died, so they returned to Zize Garden."

"Is what you said true?"

"Young people dare not lie to adults, so everything just now is true."

"Xiong Yuan, what else do you want to say?"

"Hu Cheng," Xiong Yuan shouted angrily, "you who betrayed the master, what face do you have to survive in this world." As he said this, his body flew up, and he struck Hu Cheng with his palm.

This Hu Cheng was already guilty, seeing Xiong Yuan's aggressive posture towards him, he even forgot to resist for a while.

"Bang!" With a sound, a spiritual earth shield blocked Xiong Yuanzhi's sure-to-get blow.

"Xiong Yuan, you are angry from embarrassment." Yuan Shi sneered, "Your master conspired with King Huainan, and the evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say?"

Seeing that Xiong Yuan was silent, he waved his hand to signal Hu Cheng to go down first.Then he said slowly: "Let's see, after your master's meritorious service, my lord has a lot. Give your master a chance, and it's up to your master to agree or not."

Hearing Yuan Shi's words, Xiong Yuan was like a drowning man hugging a log, and hurriedly said: "Please show me clearly, my lord!"

"I just want one thing from Shifu."

"No matter what it is, as long as the adults like it, Shifu will offer it with both hands."

"Your mistress, Cui Zhu. Oh, by the way, let your master deliver it to my house in person. In this way, all previous debts will be cancelled."

In Azusa Garden, Shi Zhong sat on the ground motionless, his eyes filled with powerlessness and anger, all kinds of pieces of objects that he smashed were everywhere in Jingge.

The hatred of killing one's father, the hatred of taking one's wife.Such a huge humiliation would one day befall Shi Zhong's head.That bastard knew clearly that if Shi Chong did this, he would never raise his head in front of others for the rest of his life.

But what can he do?
That bastard dared to kill even the emperor and King Huainan, so how could he want to kill himself again?How could I provoke such an enemy back then?
"Father, let's go now, don't bring anything. When we get to King CD, we will help King CD raise his army, and when we come back, we will cut Yuan Shi into pieces." Shi Chao was also full of anger at the side. How can the shame make him bear it.

"A team of soldiers and horses has already come outside." Shi Chong sat there weakly and said: "It's wrong to be a father. This money is ultimately something outside the body, and that power is the real thing."

"Father, don't say these useless words. You and mother go first, and the sergeant will come to look for you with the child." After saying this, Shi Chao turned around and walked out without any hesitation. go.

"Chao'er, stop here!" A beautiful woman came in from the Jing Pavilion, but it was not Cui Zhu, whoever it was. "The Shi family has hundreds of people. Once you go out, you will send these hundreds of people to the butcher's knife."

"But mother..."

"Husband, this matter started because of me, so naturally I need to solve it. How can you not bow your head under the low eaves, and ask your husband to send me to Shen's residence."

"No madam!"

"Mother can't!"

The father and son of the Shi family exclaimed at the same time.

"Don't worry, you two. Since I'm married to your Shi family, I'm a member of the Shi family. I will never do anything to shame the Shi family. Yuan Shi and I are indeed old acquaintances, and he will not embarrass me A look of absoluteness flashed in Cui Zhu's eyes, and he continued to say lightly: "I will hold Yuan Shi over there first, and Chaoer, you will lead the whole family north immediately after I leave. Xiong Yuan, the young master is still young, and you can go all the way. I have to trouble you to take care of it.”

"Mistress, don't worry, this servant will do his best to assist the young master."

Shi Chao heard his mother's voice, strode to his mother's side, grabbed his mother's arm and said, "Mother doesn't want it. I can't lose you. If you have a baby, you won't let anyone hurt you." .”

Cui Zhu looked at Shi Chao lovingly, stretched out her hand to gently caress Shi Chao's handsome face like a knife and an axe, and suddenly, she pressed Shi Chao to the ground with her fingers.
