Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 136 It's embarrassing at this time of night

The moon was above the willows, and the summer insects were chirping. Under the pavilion, Wuzhan narrated the whole process. After Luoyan heard it, she knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered her head, and said ashamedly: "Luoyan has wronged you, and repaid you with evil. I will let you deal with me as you wish!"

Wuzhan said hurriedly, "Miss, please stand up. This matter is urgent and it is inconvenient to tell you. Therefore, you misunderstood. How dare I blame you?"

Gongsun Yu gently reproached him, "You are always so impatient and never think twice before doing anything. The young master was almost killed by you..."

Luo Yan slowly stood up, her face flushed with shame, and whispered: "Luo Yan will never do that kind of thing in the future, please punish me, young master!"

Wuzhan smiled and said, "I know you are just angry and won't really hurt me, but the princess is right, your temper can easily cause trouble. When we were at the execution ground, I saw that you were very emotional. I was really worried that you would rob the execution ground alone in anger and ruin everything. Fortunately, it didn't happen."

Gongsun Yu said, "Luoyan, go see General Xiang first. I have something to discuss with the young master!"

Seeing Luo Yan enter the house, she looked at Wuzhan with her clear eyes and said softly, "Young Master, you have helped Yu'er with such a difficult task. I may not be able to repay you in this lifetime. I can only thank you!" As she said that, she was about to kneel down.

Wuzhan quickly stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Princess, you are a precious girl, please don't do this. I can't bear it!" and helped Gongsun Yu up.

Their eyes met, their breath was as fragrant as orchid, the moonlight was charming, Wuzhan's heart was pounding wildly, and Gongsun Yu seemed to sense Wuzhan's panic. Just like her, she could no longer control her own emotions, and she threw her delicate body into Wuzhan's arms, hugging him tightly, but tears also flowed down her face.

Wuzhan was stunned by Gongsun Yu's sudden action. Although he always thought of her in his heart, he knew that it was just a thought and he never wanted to get anything. It was like the gorgeous fireworks, he could only see it and leave behind memories, but could not keep it for a moment.

He didn't want Gongsun Yu to be sad. As long as he could do it, he was willing to do it. Is this love? Wuzhan was a little panicked. This was the most difficult word for him to understand. Because of this word, Qin Moyao had been offended by him. Wanjiao risked her life for him.

The reality is, this word does not belong to him, if he really loves them, he can only hurt them, because his life is short, and he can't bear it and can't do it. But the more this happens, the more painful it is in his heart.

Gongsun Yu murmured softly, "How wonderful it would be if there was no hatred. We could just run away!"

Wuzhan gently stroked her jade shoulder, left Gongsun Yu, sat down, and said softly: "The princess's revenge is also my revenge. If I have time, I will spare no effort. Xianyang is too unsafe. When General Xiang recovers from his injury, I will find a way to send him out of the city. The princess should leave here with us!"

"It doesn't matter where I go. As long as I'm alive, I will never forget our blood feud. This is the reason I'm alive!"

"You go back to Chu, develop secretly, and wait for the Qin to collapse before restoring the country. Isn't this what the princess wants?"

Gongsun Yu wiped away his tears and lamented, "Restoring the country is easier said than done. I have long given up on this idea. As long as I kill Ying Zheng, I will be at peace."

"Ying Zheng cannot be killed now, and it is futile for you to stay here. Believe me and leave Xianyang!" Wuzhan advised.

"I will never leave Xianyang unless I kill him!"

"Does the princess still want to emulate Gao Jianli?"

"I won't follow his example. I have my own way. Sir, please don't try to persuade me!" Then he said, "It's safer for General Xiang to stay here. Now I can only trouble you to take care of him. It's getting late. Yu'er will take her leave. I will come here to bother you again in the future."

"Princess, I am honored to have you here! Please stay, I have a valuable item for you, I will give it to you." After saying that, he returned to the study, dragged out the guqin with both hands, and handed it to Gongsun Yu, "I saw the princess playing this guqin that night, and now it is returned to its original owner."

When Gongsun Yu saw it, he was surprised and said, "This is indeed my Luanming. I was in a hurry to escape that night and didn't have time to take it with me. How did you get it?"

"It was given by Prince Fusu. I think Fan Qian must have presented it to him after he received it."

"Since he gave it to you, how can I accept it? I feel relieved that this zither is in your hands. I have also experienced your zither skills. It is incredible that you can even cause meteor showers. If I am lucky, I really hope to hear your zither music again!"

"I am so ashamed to accept this. My piano skills are no match for the princess's beautiful music. If the princess doesn't mind, I will be at your service anytime. But you should take this piano with you!"

"Just think of it as Yu'er giving it to you. If you want to listen, how about I come here and play the piano for you?"

“I couldn’t ask for more!” Wuzhan bowed.

Gongsun Yu went back into the house, said goodbye to General Xiang, and left with Luo Yan. Wuzhan saw him off to the door before leaving. After Gongsun Yu left, Wuzhan's heart could not calm down for a long time. Wuzhan knew the deep meaning of Gongsun Yu's words very well. How could they talk about private love before revenge? They only loved each other, but they were not destined to be together in this life. They both knew it and could remain calm.

……

That afternoon, a man came into the mansion secretly and was taken directly into a house by Wuzhan. He also ordered Jin Xingzi to guard outside and not allow anyone to enter.

Wuzhan had already prepared the necessary instruments. After seven days of cultivation with medicinal liquid, the thing had been restored to its original state. Zhao Gao was tied to the bed, and when he saw his instrument, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Wuzhan's skill of reviving a dead tree made him completely convinced.

Wuzhan came up with the idea based on the meridian theory in Huangdi Neijing, combined with Xia Wuqi's technique of connecting tendons and taking pulses. However, Xia Wuqi's technique of connecting tendons and taking pulses can only be implemented on limbs that have just been broken, and Wuzhan was dealing with a piece of air-dried bacon, so one can imagine how difficult it was. So he had a sudden idea and used a very precious blood-replenishing and qi-invigorating medicine, combined with the principle of the five elements to nourish the dead meat, then cut open the wound, and use a silver needle to pick out the tangled blood vessels and meridians and put them into the instrument. The precision required was very high, and it can be said that this idea was too bold, and even he himself could not be sure of its success.

Wuzhan covered Zhao Gao's eyes with a black cloth, took out a sharp dagger, and whispered: "I need to cut open the skin, create a new wound, find the blood vessels and meridians, and pull them out. It will be painful, you have to bear it!"

"Don't worry, sir. Xiao Gaozi can swallow any hardship and won't make a sound. What's more, sir, you are..." Before he could finish his words, pain spread throughout his body. His fair face began to twitch and sweat dripped down.

Although this pain is the same as the pain of that year, they are completely different. One is the despair of loss and a life of humiliation and pain, while the other is full of hope and finally a new life.

Wuzhan saw that Zhao Gao had calmed down a lot, and whispered: "Just talk casually, it will distract you and relieve the pain."

"I don't know what you want to hear, my Lord?" Zhao Gao said with difficulty.

"You can say anything, such as why Your Majesty suddenly came to the Supreme Court that night."

"That night, I heard that Your Excellency was going to confront those rebels at the Court of the Imperial Censor, so I reminded Your Majesty that 'there will be a good show at the Court of the Imperial Censor!' Your Majesty really believed it. We arrived just as the case was being tried. Your Majesty listened to Your Excellency's confrontation with those people and nodded in agreement. On the way back to the palace, he was still full of praise. One of his sentences was, 'Why didn't I think of it? Thanks to Wuzhan for saying it. Tonight was really worth it!' I don't know what Your Majesty meant, but after that night, Your Majesty should be much less wary of Your Excellency."

"Is your majesty like this to everyone?"

"It's all like this. After all these things, there is really no one in this world that he can completely trust. Even his own mother... Alas!... In fact, His Majesty is really lonely and pitiful!"

"Master Xu, doesn't His Majesty believe it either?"

"Two parts trust and one part suspicion. How can Your Majesty trust them completely? It's just that Master Xu is planning for Your Majesty to rule the country forever and make Your Majesty immortal. These two things are what Your Majesty dreams of, so you let them do it."

"Can Master Xu really make His Majesty immortal?"

"Master Xu is a prophet who can foresee the future. Whenever Your Majesty wants to see him, he will appear. Moreover, his cultivation is unfathomable and his magic power is boundless. The elixir he refines can make Your Majesty a hundred times more energetic and full of true energy. Without practicing, you can reach the stage of concentration. Those arrogant and lonely immortals all believe in him. What kind of person do you think he will be? In my opinion, he will be able to do it. It's just that those ministers in the court are talking behind his back, saying that they are evil Taoists who are deceiving Your Majesty. In fact, they don't know the truth. Master Xu is not that kind of person. He is really doing practical things. You haven't been to Mount Li, but I went there with Your Majesty. Although it has not been built, the Lunkuo has been completed. It is already a paradise on earth!"

Wuzhan was secretly shocked. Coming from Zhao Gao's mouth, these words must be true. Facing such a powerful figure, it would be out of reach to take back the five-colored stone. He also had a vague feeling that Xu Shi might be a god from heaven. Otherwise, how could Huo Biao get together with Daoxuan and others.

"However, they seem to have encountered some major problems recently, which seems to be related to Bixia Yuanjun of Mount Tai."

After Wuzhan heard this, his fingers trembled slightly, and he almost broke the blood vessel he pulled out. Sweat also flowed down his face. "Bixia Yuanjun is isolated from the world, how can she be involved with them?"

"It seems that the thing called 'Xiran' is in Yuan Jun's place. Otherwise, it cannot explain how the breach of Deshui was blocked. Taoist Xuan seems to want to go to Mount Tai to find out. His Majesty asked them to wait a little longer. I finished pouring tea and His Majesty asked me to leave. I didn't hear the rest and almost forgot. Taoist Qingyang seems to have a prejudice against you and reminded His Majesty to be careful with you. I don't know why. Is there any grudge between you two?"

"There is some conflict. He killed my master!"

"Ah...! No wonder... Then you should be careful from now on. Although His Majesty will not kill you, his cultivation is so high and you have no cultivation at all. If he wants to kill you..."

"Why won't your majesty kill me?"

"Your Majesty is a saintly monarch who loves talents. Your Excellency's talents and wisdom are exactly what Your Majesty needs. How could he kill you? Can't Your Excellency guess it?"
