You, a tyrannical ruler, roam the heavens; you cannot understand my joy.
Chapter 156 Put your hair up in a bun, I told you to put your hair up in a bun.
Follow the pen of someone whose mental illness has somewhat improved, and embark on an adventure together in "Wandering Among the Heavens as a Tyrant, You Don't Understand My Happiness".
Inside the mountain, in the main hall.
This place is An Shigeng's secret estate, built at great expense, extremely secluded and extremely luxurious.
It not only features a magnificent main hall for pleasure, but also an ice cellar for storing fresh food, a dark room for storing corpses, and side halls and rooms for servants to live in, with everything you could need.
The An family truly lived up to their reputation as the wealthiest family in the world; in this one secret vault alone, they had more than three million taels of silver and over two hundred thousand taels of gold.
Among them are various antiques, paintings, calligraphy, jewelry and rare treasures, each of which is priceless and shines brightly throughout the room.
Unfortunately, Lu Zuo's personal space was only 10 cubic meters, and he could only fill about 90% of it with gold and silver.
The rest can only be left where they are for now, to be decided at a later time.
Leaving the treasure vault, Lu Zuo headed straight for Ru Yan's bedroom.
As they passed the main hall, they saw Ji Yaohua standing on the steps, addressing the gathered servants.
Her voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling aura; wherever her gaze swept, no one dared to look up.
Several middle-aged men's corpses lay on the ground, their blood not yet completely congealed.
It seems that after the news of An Shigeng's death came, some people were dissatisfied or loyal to the An family, so she immediately established her authority and beheaded them in front of the palace.
Lu Zuo ignored this trivial matter and let Ji Yaohua handle it.
……
In Ruyan's bedroom.
Lu Zuo pushed open the carved wooden door, and a sweet and warm fragrance immediately wafted out.
The interior is decorated in warm colors, and the floor is covered with a thick Western Region velvet carpet that is soft and silent underfoot.
Light gauze curtains, mostly in ambiguous crimson and smoky purple, hung on the walls. Under the soft glow of several gilded crane-beak lamps by the wall, the light and shadow swayed, adding a touch of haziness and allure.
Inside was a spacious rosewood canopy bed, piled with brocade quilts and embroidered pillows, and the curtains were held up with gold hooks.
A dressing table was set up by the window, and it was filled with all kinds of rouge, face powder, jewelry, and a polished bronze mirror.
On the other side was a chaise longue covered with soft cushions, with a pot of wine and two jade cups on a small table beside it.
At this moment, Ruyan was leaning against the chaise lounge.
She changed out of her previous clothes and into a long, rosy-colored dress.
The dress is made of extremely thin material, like clouds swirling around the body. Under the light, the slender curves inside are faintly visible, and the long legs are faintly visible at the slit in the skirt.
She wore a loosely draped long robe, not fastened, with the collar slightly open, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin and delicate collarbones.
Her long, dark hair was loosely tied up with a jade hairpin, with a few strands falling lazily down her neck, adding to her charm.
Her face was lightly powdered, her eyebrows and eyes were carefully drawn, and her paleness from fear had faded, restoring her former radiance. Her lips were also dotted with bright red rouge, giving them a natural and alluring charm.
"Liu Ruyan greets you, young master."
Upon seeing him enter, Ruyan gracefully rose and knelt to greet him. Her exquisite figure was even more fully displayed under the thin gauze, and her voice was soft and sweet.
Lu Zuo gave a soft "hmm" and asked, "Why did you change your makeup to this?"
Liu Ruyan was taken aback: "Young Master, don't you like it?"
Was I just indulging in wishful thinking?
He had no intention of taking over himself and Ji Yaohua.
"not bad……"
Lu Zuo replied, then slowly walked to the bed and sat down, saying in a deep voice, "Come here, I will resolve the hidden dangers in your body."
"Yes."
Liu Ruyan's face lit up with joy. She quickly stood up, took small steps to Lu Zuo's side, and sat down cross-legged.
Lu Zuo said no more, and immediately pointed his fingers like a sword at her back.
In an instant, the azure light flowed between his fingertips, and the pure wood-elemental true essence, like a spring stream, slowly entered Liu Ruyan's body.
As the true energy entered her body, she felt a cool and abundant vitality rapidly flowing through her limbs and bones.
Where this vitality passes, stubborn toxins that had accumulated deep within the meridians due to the practice of disguise techniques and contact with various highly toxic medicinal materials are peeled away and dissolved bit by bit.
"Ah, um..."
Liu Ruyan let out a soft, comfortable moan, her delicate body trembling slightly.
"Don't move."
"Coordinate with my true energy, breathe nine shallow breaths and one deep breath."
Lu Zuo spoke in a deep voice, continuing to manipulate his true energy to heal the long-standing hidden injuries within her internal organs...
.....
Two full hours passed.
"call......."
After Lu Zuo finished his practice, Liu Ruyan slowly opened her beautiful eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
She silently sensed the changes within her body and felt light and airy, with her inner energy flowing smoothly and dynamically, making her feel incredibly comfortable.
The lingering, tingling pain in my meridians has completely vanished, gone without a trace...
However, this process of cleansing her body and removing impurities also consumed a lot of her energy, and a strong sense of fatigue swept over her.
Her body went limp, collapsing into the soft quilt, her breath coming in short gasps: "Hoo..."
"Young master, after expelling the toxins from the meridians..."
" ah."
At this moment, Liu Ruyan was covered in fragrant sweat, which soaked her rosy gauze dress so tightly that it clung to her skin, outlining her breathtaking curves.
A few strands of her hair clung to her cheeks with sweat, her eyes were moist and hazy, adding to her languid and alluring charm, and carrying a satisfied and charming air.
Her long, flowing robe had already loosened during her internal energy practice, and her chest rose and fell gently with her breath, exuding an irresistible allure in the dim lamplight.
"It's not just about feeling comfortable. After all the toxins are gone, you'll be completely absorbed in reading Chapter 156, 'Put Your Hair Up,' which is what I told you to do. You'll be unable to tear yourself away from it. Your disguise skills will also reach perfection."
"I'm guessing it should be able to fix the previous flaws, right?"
Liu Ruyan nodded and lazily got up: "Young master is indeed a highly skilled master. Even if you don't understand my disguise technique, you can see through it at a glance."
"In the past, when I disguised myself as others, I needed a special medicine made in the Western Regions."
"And now..."
"After you, my lord, have cleansed my meridians, I no longer need such poisons."
Lu Zuo pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can men practice your disguise technique?"
"cannot."
Liu Ruyan shook her head, thinking to herself: Even if it were possible, I wouldn't teach you, let alone if it were truly impossible.
You spared my life until now, isn't it because of this?
If I teach you, I'm afraid I won't have a way to make a living anymore...
Upon hearing this, Lu Zuo had no choice but to give up.
He turned and glanced at Liu Ruyan. She was like a night-blooming jasmine that had been thoroughly nourished by spring rain and was freely unfolding its petals under the moonlight. She was charming and alluring.
Lu Zuo's heart skipped a beat, and he ordered, "Go and wash up."
"Then come back to me."
"Yes."
Liu Ruyan gracefully stood up, thinking to herself, "I thought you weren't interested in handsome men."
In the end, aren't they just after my beauty?
Hmph, Ji Yaohua.
I'll definitely be more popular with my new owner than you are!
……
A short while later, in the main hall.
Ji Yaohua watched as Liu Ruyan, who had already washed herself and dressed up carefully, swayed her lithe waist as she walked into the bedroom, and coldly snorted in her heart: "Seductress."
"All you ever know is to resort to these kinds of tricks..."
Although she felt a bit disdainful, she also sensed a sense of crisis.
Unlike An Shigeng, this new master was not infatuated with him and was extremely ruthless and merciless when interrogating him.
If he were to win over Liu Ruyan, who had always been his adversary, given that woman's venomous heart, he feared he would have no good days ahead...
It seems I should call them over.
With a creak.
Just as Ji Yaohua was pondering, Liu Ruyan pushed open the door, walked slowly to Lu Zuo, and adopted an attitude of letting him do as he pleased.
"Kneel down."
"Put your hair up in a bun."
.......
The next day, early in the morning.
[Missed the morning court session; internal strength +6.]
[Enchanted by beautiful women, internal strength +3.]
[Colluding with the demonic path, Demonic Heart +5.]
[Excessive indulgence, bonus reward: Constitution +7.]
[Leading a rebellion, utterly absurd, Dao Enlightenment +2.]
[Reusing a wicked concubine can bring ruin to a country; calligraphy +10, painting +10, chess +10, musical instrument skills +10.]
"When there are no cultivation techniques to practice, you will only be given internal strength or physical attributes."
"While it's not bad either, cultivation is still more appealing, and it increases strength by a greater amount..."
"But where should we get some cultivation techniques right now?"
"Um……"
"Jing Ni's swordsmanship is one approach, but the best are the martial arts of Taoism, the School of Diplomacy, Mohism, or Confucianism..."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zuo shook his head again, thinking to himself, "Forget it, these are all things for the future."
"Let's deal with Emperor Huizong of Song and the An family in this world first."
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Liu Ruyan, who had just woken up, and put his arm around her slender waist, asking, "There's something strange about me."
"Since An Yunshan has such a treasure as you, why not have you disguise yourself as the emperor now and take his place?"
Liu Ruyan smiled sweetly, her body soft and close to hers, and whispered, "Firstly, An Yunshan wants to create chaos in the world and cause the emperor to lose the hearts of the people."
"Secondly, he was wary of Zhuge Zhengwo and feared that Zhuge Zhengwo would see through his scheme."
"We must get rid of this Divine Marquis before we dare to make a move against the Emperor."
"After all, before the young master cured me of the poison, my disguise technique still had quite a few flaws."
Ha, did Emperor Huizong of Song have the support of the people?
Lu Zuo chuckled, then, remembering that this was a fictional Song Dynasty, asked, "Does the current emperor have any 'Flower and Stone Tribute' or anything like that?"
"Of course."
"Otherwise, how did that treacherous minister Cai Jing rise to power?"
"He was favored by the emperor because he did a good job in transporting precious stones and flowers."
Then, Lu Zuo subtly probed her for more information about this world, gaining a preliminary understanding of this fictional Song Dynasty.
Although it's a fictional story, the situation is not too different from history.
At most, it just adds Zhuge Zhengwo, the Four Great Constables, and various other Jianghu figures and martial arts systems.
When talking about the martial arts world, Lu Zuo also learned an interesting piece of information from her.
There is actually a mysterious and unpredictable Tianshan Sect in this world?
It is said that the martial arts of the Tianshan Sect are extremely profound, and when mastered to the extreme, one can achieve immortality and eternal youth.
This……
Could this be the movie version of "The Child Granny of Tianshan"?
Recalling the performances of Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun in the film version, as well as Wu Yazi's expressiveness, Lu Zuo analyzed that it should be above the level of "Inner Heaven and Earth".
"It seems that I can't act as recklessly as I did in the Ming Dynasty when I'm in this fictional Song Dynasty."
"After all, there are very likely other unknown experts here."
Lu Zuo pondered for a moment, then got out of bed. Liu Ruyan then very considerately dressed him, put on his shoes, and helped him wash up.
"What are your plans for the future, young master?"
Considering that there might be experts here whose cultivation level is still above the Inner Heaven and Earth Opening stage, Lu Zuo pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to Bianliang to check the situation first."
