Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

"..."

Liu Bei really couldn't refute this statement because he just suddenly realized something.

As a doctor personally appointed by the court and the prefect of Jiujiang County, it is normal for Master Lu to be here. The person who really shouldn't be here... is him, who has no official position or status.

"It was my fault."

"It's okay, I just came here to talk to you."

As he was speaking, Master Lu suddenly turned around.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked back, but when she did, everything around her pales in comparison.

A pair of red eyes, unlike any in the human world, stared at Liu Bei without any emotion.

But Liu Bei did not feel relaxed appreciating the beauty. He moved his throat and said in a panic: "Master, I have a reason for coming here..."

"No matter what the reason, trespassing into the palace without permission is still a serious crime. Moreover..." the Master said meaningfully, "You haven't just trespassed into the Imperial Palace."

"Master, do you know everything?"

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I don't know anything."

Master Lu is still the same as before, appearing extremely strict on the surface, but actually softer than anyone else in his heart.

It's a pity it's just a washboard.

"Where are you looking at?"

Master Lu's eyes were dangerous, and Liu Bei waved his hands repeatedly in fear. "Nothing...it's just that the situation is quite serious right now. I'll accept whatever punishment you want to give me later, but for now...let's go...wait a minute. Did the master come here on orders from His Majesty?"

"My disciple is indeed not stupid."

Master Lu stood with his hands behind his back, his tone cold and indifferent: "Your Majesty has ordered me to come here to prevent any outside interference in the inner hall... But instead of waiting for the traitor, I met my own disciple first. Isn't this a ridiculous fate?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei immediately leaned back tactically, and his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of the sword.

"Clap."

Before he could even warm up, he was hit on the back of his hand by a ruler extended from the front.

"Never use a sword against your master, understand?"

"Yes...disciple obeys your command."

Liu Bei was quite frank and laughed heartily: "Master, your martial arts are unparalleled. I am definitely no match for you. Please punish me as you please."

"Punish me? That's not my job. However, you were indeed too reckless and thoughtless this time. When you entered the sea of fire, you were able to analyze the situation and accurately search for the object. But today, you lost your composure. Why?"

Liu Bei was even more terrified when he heard these words. It was like the palpitations he felt when he accidentally broke a bowl as a child and hid it, only to be asked where it was by his parents.

He did not tell anyone what he found in the water shelter.

However, the Master still knew it and spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Combined with the arrow shot down from the mountain during the face-to-face confrontation with Jian Min... Could it be that the Master really has "clairvoyance"?

Of course, the clairvoyance here refers to the physical sense of a thousand miles, not the metaphorical future.

Therefore, the Master is most likely a voyeur who likes to peek at his own disciples.

Given this, Liu Bei, after a brief moment of reflection, chose to honestly admit: "I owe Meng De my life-saving grace, and my enemies have their own plans, hoping to uphold justice in the world... For these three reasons, I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

"As long as you can clearly understand the pros and cons involved..." Master Lu said casually, "Go back today and write a few alternative solutions to this matter. And hand them over to me tomorrow, along with the books you asked me to copy yesterday."

"???"

Liu Bei was stunned for a second, then he bowed and said, "I would like to thank you for your kindness, Master."

"I have done you no favors," Master Lu said, looking down at the sword at his waist. "You have received the gift of a sword from another woman..."

"Master, you're joking."

Liu Bei quickly took down the sword and said with a smile: "If Master needs this sword, I can give it to you."

"Heh, you do have a bit of a cunning nature. Well, this sword is very compatible with you, so use it wisely."

After Master Lu finished speaking, he saw that Liu Bei still seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he shook his head and said, "But you are still worried about the safety of the daughter of the Cao family?"

“…Master, you are a divine man.”

"I am not a god, but Xuande is the god. Don't worry, the daughter of the Cao family who was flirting with you is not in danger of her life now."

"Disciple thanks the Master."

Master Lu paused, then continued, "Although I have never been involved in this matter and was only ordered to guard this place, I do have some theories about this matter. Would you like to hear them?"

Could I possibly refuse...?

Liu Bei knew that as long as Master Lu stayed here, he would have no chance of entering the inner hall and could only stay here and stare at the Master.

It was so funny. I said goodbye to the Master in a hurry and went down the mountain, then hurriedly sneaked into the palace with Cao Cao. But when I looked closely, hey, it was the Master again.

If I had known that you would come here, I would not have followed Cao Cao in making blind guesses... No, if that were the case, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see Queen Song.

Liu Bei was a little amused, but he had no regrets in his heart. He also didn't want to become a pretty boy who needed to rely on the teacher to solve everything for him.

"I've already told you before that there are two types of fragments: Scarlet Sky and Heavenly Dao."

Liu Bei's eyelids began to twitch as Master Lu spoke: "The former was the sword of our great-grandfather, known as the Scarlet Sky Emperor Sword. It slew the White Snake and the Heavenly Dao... and ultimately turned into countless fragments, scattered across the world."

"Although the latter was shattered in the world, there is no record of anyone obtaining it throughout history. However, based on the deeds of Emperor Gaozu and the Heavenly Dao, anyone who is an enemy of the Han Dynasty is likely to possess a fragment of the Heavenly Dao."

"It is very likely that Wang Mang of ancient times obtained a large fragment of the Heavenly Dao, and his actions of restoring the past seemed more like an attempt to gather the hearts of the people and rebuild the Heavenly Dao."

Liu Bei was used to hearing such bizarre and unofficial history, so he didn't bother to complain. He just said, "Fortunately, Emperor Guangwu gathered a larger amount of Scarlet Sky fragments and used them to successfully repel the Heavenly Dao."

I thought it was just a joke, but it turned out to be affirmed by Mr. Lu.

"Indeed, every once in a while, the Heavenly Dao attempts to return to the world, and the holder of Scarlet Sky will inevitably step forward... This is the 'fateful battle' that has plagued your Liu family for generations."

Kindness: Chapter 60: Where are the fragments of Laozi's Heavenly Dao? (Fourth update)

From Master Lu's perspective, the reason why she told Liu Bei these words was, firstly, out of consideration for the relationship between teacher and student, and secondly, because the concentration of blood and fragments in his body was relatively high... If he didn't make plans early, there would be trouble in the future.

Of course, this is just in case.

Because the current emperor is still alive, the Liu clan also has many outstanding talents with high blood concentration.

But after Liu Bei heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he naturally thought of Liu Yuan and Liu Yu in later generations...

Perhaps these people also have the blood of their great-grandfather in their bodies, and therefore have been fighting against the so-called fragments of "Heaven's Way". If they win, they can rule the world of Han, and if they lose, it is difficult to change the fate of heaven.

I'm afraid this is the reality of this world.

The Liu family and the way of heaven have been entangled for generations, and this is also a fateful battle that every member of the Liu family may embark on.

If Liu Bei were to speak, he would naturally be very unhappy with this kind of shackles that come from blood ties. Why should he inherit the mission just because he carries blood?

If one day we really come into conflict with the Way of Heaven, it is because the Way of Heaven does not want us to be at peace, so we must rise up and fight it, not because of the blood feud of our great-grandfather at that time.

But it’s better not to say this in front of the teacher.

Because she would really jump up and hit people with a ruler.

After Liu Bei received the information provided by the Master, the vague thoughts in his mind finally became connected, and many unclear things also had answers.

With the wisdom of today's emperor, after she knows these secrets of the great ancestor, she will definitely organize people to do two things - eradicate the fragments of the Heavenly Dao and collect the fragments of Chixiao.

After all, no emperor wants to be eating hot pot and listening to music when Wang Mang suddenly appears, easily pushes him off the throne, and then eats hot pot and listens to music, and even calls himself the new emperor...

Isn't this a kind of cow?

What's more, the grudge between the Liu family and the Heavenly Dao is real and must be guarded against.

Intelligence may not necessarily bring favors, but it will definitely bring suspicion.

So, the current emperor's setting up of a scheme to condone Jian Siyuan's behavior is most likely...

Liu Bei blinked his eyes, and suddenly realized: "Should I say it, the emperor played this trick beautifully."

"Oh?"

Master Lu glanced at him, somewhat surprised: "You've figured it out?"

"I'm ashamed. I have to thank you Master for clearing up my confusion. Otherwise, I would have just been using common sense for the rest of my life..."

"I've already said that I, the teacher, have done you no favors."

Mr. Lu shrugged noncommittally.

Liu Bei did not continue to argue about this, but instead expressed his own speculation:

"If Bei's predictions are correct, since the Emperor knows there will definitely be an attack from someone holding a Heavenly Dao fragment in the future, then she might as well create one herself..."

"Because the fragments have no intelligence and act entirely according to the prevailing world trends, the emperor only needs to artificially create momentum to allow those involved to obtain the fragments of the Heavenly Dao... In this way, the hidden dangers can be resolved in advance."

Knowing that there will be enemies coming to you in the future, why not create an enemy yourself?

If you can't solve the unknown, then create the known.

This is why the current emperor completely ignored the actions of the Jian family. On the contrary, he cooperated very well and seemed to obey the Jian family completely...

As a result, I gave you the military affairs of Luoyang in the Jian family yesterday, and today I have to free up my hands to deal with you.

Moreover, the Jian family has held power for a long time, and their children have caused chaos all over the world and have long been hated by others. As long as Your Majesty deals with them all and confiscates their embezzled money, then this will be a "wise ruler who has come to his senses."

Transfer the anger of the aristocratic families originally directed at the emperor to the Jian family, and then get rid of the Jian family at the same time. Even if everyone knows that this is His Majesty's plan, everyone will still tacitly accept it and even actively accept the suppression.

Because no one wants to be the next Jian family.

"You are just one of them."

Mr. Lu shook his little head, first raised three fingers, then found that he had raised one too many, and quietly put down one finger without changing his expression.

"When Chi Xiao senses the aura of the Heavenly Dao, he will naturally appear. Meanwhile, Chi Xiao fragments will automatically appear in front of those with a strong bloodline. So, Your Majesty, this truly achieves three goals with one stone..."

"Master, is this what you are talking about?"

Before she finished speaking, Liu Bei silently raised his hand, and at this moment a whole piece of "fragment" like the tip of a sword was floating above him.

"..."

Mr. Lu opened his mouth so wide that a whole light bulb could almost fit in it, and you could see a few cute fangs and even his pink and tender tongue.

With this look of shock, he finally looked somewhat consistent with his appearance.

"How did you get the Scarlet Sky fragment?"

"I do not know."

Liu Bei was also a little confused at this time: "Master, just now you keep talking about fragments and fragments, and then when you turn around, you find that there is something in your hand..."

"..."

Master Lu was still a little confused after hearing this explanation, and he lowered his head in thought: "That's impossible... Your bloodline concentration may be high, but after all, you are not directly under the great-grandfather... What's going on?"

"I don't know, that's not right..."

Liu Bei seemed to understand something and subconsciously spread out his other hand, on which a ball of light was also floating.

This frightened Master Lu so much that he jumped on the spot and said in shock: "Such a strong aura, could it be the mysterious fragment of the Heavenly Dao...?"

The Scarlet Sky fragment and the Heavenly Dao fragment appeared in the left and right hands of the same person at the same time... How is this possible? Oh my god, what kind of dream am I in?

-

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The man in blue sat alone in front of the hall, looking at the dusty crowd, shaking his head and laughing, saying, "Gentlemen, you have all fallen into your Majesty's trap."

"?"

Cao Cao still didn't understand what Jian Shuo meant, but the Grand Chamberlain had already figured it out and immediately bowed towards the inner hall.

"Your Majesty is gifted and intelligent, while we are dull and dull. We have inadvertently hindered Your Majesty's great plan. This is our fault."

Although he said this, his eyes when he lowered his head were filled with anger and murderous intent.

He was obviously the eunuch who was granted a title and favored earlier than Jian Shuo, but His Majesty did not talk to him about this matter, but instead let Jian Shuo take full control.

How could the Grand Chamberlain not be angry and want to kill him when a young outsider came to power?

"You are all innocent."

Jian Shuo was unaware of the Grand Chamberlain's thoughts. Following His Majesty's instructions, he smiled and said to Cao Cao, "You all reacted quickly and were eager to protect your master. Especially the Northern Lieutenant Cao Bei, who tracked down the murderer in time. His loyalty is evident."
