The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

Even if they had committed cholera in the past, if His Majesty wanted to settle accounts with them in the future, he would also remember the kindness of the two in saving him, and with the persuasion of their father and mother, he would allow them to continue to enjoy wealth and glory.

For the Ten Eunuchs, there is no way out tonight either.

After Sun Zhang and Bi Lan left, Xia Yun walked over to Zhang Rang. After a moment of silence, he turned his head and asked Zhang Rang, "Their will... is simply impossible to resist..."

Since Xia Yun knew this, there was no reason for Zhang Rang not to know it.

But Zhang Rang's expression remained calm. The only change in his expression tonight was when he noticed something was wrong with Liu Zhaoqing's body.

Like Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang Rang also had a very clear goal.

"Sun Zhang and Bi Lan are not as strong as you." Zhang Rang's calm tone was full of indifference to life.

"Now that they've left, you'll be in charge of making the medicine."

Xia Yun did not dare to disobey the order. After lowering his head and responding, he immediately asked two of his servants to bring tables and chairs and temporarily build a platform next to the stove.

Then Xia Yun walked onto the stage, stretched out his hand to summon a flame, and then poured it into the furnace.

This stove was obviously also a treasure. The ordinary flame spread rapidly in the stove, and then changed from orange to pale blue.

The next moment, the treasures and the auspicious beast meat in the furnace slowly melted together at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon they would become medicinal pills or other substances.

Then Liu Zhaoqing's body slowly floated in front of Zhang Rang.

"At this moment, you should be desperately trying to summon the real dragon in your body, right?" Zhang Rang asked calmly.

"But it can't respond to you." Zhang Rang stretched out his hand, and his white palm suddenly cracked open and a scarlet eye appeared.

When Liu Zhaoqing saw those eyes, his pupils shrank to the size of needles.

The shape of the eyes, as well as the aura they exude, are exactly the same as the monster disguised as a candle dragon that Liu Zhaoqing saw from behind the auspicious clouds during the day of the heaven sacrifice.

Then everything becomes clear.

The changes in Zhang Rang, all the Ten Attendants, and even Liu Hong's survival were all due to that strange beast.

Zhang Rang made a deal with the monster.

Seeing that Liu Zhaoqing wanted to say something, Zhang Rang still did not give him a chance to speak.

He is not a fool who likes to gossip, and he also understands the principle of seizing every second.

When the fire in the furnace was almost strong, Zhang Rang controlled Liu Zhaoqing and placed him directly above the furnace.

For a moment, Liu Zhaoqing's expression immediately became nervous.

Liu Zhaoqing doesn't think he is like Sun Wukong, who survived the alchemy furnace and was gifted with the power of flaming eyes and golden pupils.

Sun Wukong is made of stone, but he is made of flesh.

Just as Zhang Rang said, Liu Zhaoqing called out Yinglong's name in his heart, but never received a response.

Before, Liu Zhaoqing thought that Yinglong fell into a deep sleep because he had exhausted too much energy. Now, it seems that it was obviously Zhang Rang's doing.

He has the ability to block out the voices in his heart.

Just as Liu Zhaoqing's body was about to be put into the furnace burning with blazing green flames, a loud wolf howl suddenly came from a distance.

Then countless arrows with tails of flame shot towards the depths of the West Garden. The arrows were all blocked by the invisible barrier in the sky.

The next second, a gray-white light appeared. It was a spear that shot from a distance, pierced through the barrier, and headed straight towards Taoyuan.

Zhang Rang stretched out his hand, and the spear instantly stopped in the sky above Taoyuan.

Then he controlled the spear, changed its direction, and shot it back.

"That's He Jin's bow and spear skills... Could it be that Bi Lan and the others..." Xia Yun was surprised.

"They are not so useless." Zhang Rang said, "It should be that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others have joined forces with He Jin."

"These two people are also the talents of revival mentioned by Your Majesty. If we allow them to realize their new talents or potentials, changes may arise." Zhang Rang thought for a moment.

"This furnace was cast by King Wu, and it can also smelt divine beasts. We don't need to directly compete with those people outside. We just need to let His Majesty recover from his illness."

"So, just add another adjuvant to speed up the process."

"Add more?" Xia Yun asked in confusion.

"Yayu."

After saying this, Zhang Rang flew into the sky. "I have locked up Liu Zhaoqing's body and mind. You will put the Yali into the furnace, and then put Liu Zhaoqing in. Your Majesty will be able to smell its breath. Once your Majesty smells the aura of the true dragon, you will be able to change your soul and be reborn."

This was a very simple job, and Xia Yun had already controlled the Yali and was preparing to send it into the furnace.

But just when Yali's head was about to enter the furnace, a light suddenly appeared in Yali's eyes, and it went towards Liu Hong on the ground.

Just when its claws were about to grab Liu Hong, its body stopped again.

Zhang Rang's voice came from the sky: "The wisdom of chaos also knows how to endure. Is this the former divine beast?"

Then Zhang Rang, who had just flown back from Taoyuan, controlled Yali and threw it into the furnace. Then, realizing that this matter was too important, he personally threw Liu Zhaoqing into the furnace.

Afterwards, under Zhang Rang's control, Liu Hong's body came to the stove.

Wisps of golden-red air wafted out from the furnace and entered the seven orifices of Qiuniu. For a moment, Liu Hong's eyes slowly opened.

Zhang Rang showed a delighted expression and immediately bowed his head: "Your Majesty..."

"Yeah." Qiuniu nodded.

After waiting for a while, as the red gold air wafting out from the furnace entered his body, Qiuniu's body became stronger and stronger, and finally, accompanied by golden light, it slowly turned into a human form.

A tall, well-proportioned, and most noble person in the world appeared in the eyes of Xia Yun and Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up with joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Xia Yun also congratulated with the same respect and surprise.

"I'm fine now. Zhang Rang and Xia Yun, you two go and quell the rebellion. I'll change into an imperial robe and go personally to capture the rebels." Liu Hong's voice was full of energy, as if he was a completely different person.

Xia Yun immediately obeyed the order and left, but Zhang Rang stayed where he was.

"Father, I would like to talk to you again about those evil creatures in the morning," said Liu Hong.

Zhang Rang lowered his head in response, then raised his head slightly to glance at Liu Hong, paused for a moment, and finally backed away from the square and Taoyuan.

When Liu Hong was the only one left around, he said calmly: "I am the only one left."

After he finished speaking, there was no movement around him, only the cold wind blowing against the peach tree, dropping a few pink petals.

Five seconds later, the cover of the stove in front of Liu Hong was opened, and Liu Zhaoqing crawled out unharmed.

"Your Majesty... why did you save me?" After falling to the ground, Liu Zhaoqing covered his shoulder and asked in confusion.

The handsome Liu Hong smiled slightly and looked up at the bright moon in the sky that was about to set.

"If no one appreciates the beautiful moon, it will just fall into the well in loneliness."

Liu Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, then looked at Liu Hong's brand new body: "Then your majesty... has he been reborn now?"

"If you are referring to the body, it is already like this." Liu Hong nodded.

Liu Zhaoqing continued: "But..."

"You are thinking, you are still alive, why can I be like this?" Liu Hong looked at Liu Zhaoqing and said.

After a pause, Liu Hong smiled and said, "That's because I am not myself now."

"No? What does this mean?"

"Do you know a beast called 'Qiongqi'?"

"That's... the Four Evils?" Liu Zhaoqing was surprised, and then suddenly remembered something, "Could it be that the sacrifice to heaven that day..."

Liu Hong nodded: "The thing you saw that day was Qiongqi, and it was also the one that made trouble and teased me."

"This beast is more powerful than ordinary divine beasts, and its cunningness and deceitfulness are unmatched by any living creature in the world."

"Its purpose of showing up on its own initiative is for me, or rather... for my identity as the 'master'."

"And Zhang made them fall into its trap in order to save me."

Liu Hong stretched out his hand and looked at the thin black lines on his arm: "And I... am now Qiongqi. Qiongqi is now for me."

"If I could obtain your true dragon energy, I would be able to survive, but Qiongqi would be able to control all the people in the world."

"By then, I will also become a sinner for all eternity." Liu Hong smiled slightly and looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

"So, just like what you did back then, when I saved you, I was only saving the people of the world."

Liu Zhaoqing stood there in a daze after hearing that, then bowed, but didn't know what to say.

Chapter 114 Helping the Emperor to Exorcise the Evil Spirit

"Oh!"

A sound like fireworks exploding came from the direction outside Xiyuan.

Liu Zhaoqing tilted his head to look, and saw that countless arrows were mixed together in the air by a terrifying force, and then suddenly exploded, falling downwards like heavy rain.

At this moment, Zhang Rang had already arrived at the front. He was almost the best in the world at this time, and he alone could resist all the heroes and troops coming to attack Xiyuan.

The area in front of the back garden of the West Garden is no longer a problem. Liu Hong only needs to change into the imperial robe and go to the front in person. He does not need to say anything or do anything, and the chaos in Luoyang will be quelled tonight.

But, Liu Hong obviously still has a lot to say to Liu Zhaoqing, or rather: he wants to say to himself.

He looked down at his well-proportioned body, stretched out his right hand and touched the muscles of his left elbow, and then a look of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

"I haven't seen anything like this for more than ten years."

"It's like I've returned to my youth, when I was still the idle Jie Duting before I ascended the throne. Although I didn't live as rich as the rest of my clan, I was still very happy."

"Time flies, and in a blink of an eye the moon is still the same as before, but I no longer have the same heart as before."

Liu Hong's expression was filled with a hint of melancholy and emotion.

Liu Zhaoqing on the other side bowed his head and said: "But your majesty's heart at this moment is stronger than ever before."

This is not just flattery. It is a fact that Liu Hong gave up killing Liu Zhaoqing for the sake of the people of the world. He now has the qualities of a wise ruler and is doing what a wise ruler does.

"But your majesty...is in good health."

Liu Zhaoqing looked at Liu Hong's wrist under his sleeve. There was an obvious black line where Cang Qing's pulse should have been.

"If I understand your majesty correctly, what you just said..." Liu Zhaoqing frowned slightly, and then continued:

"Qiongqi has now taken over your majesty's body. Your majesty interfered and protected me when you and the furnace were absorbing and recasting the body with the treasures of heaven and earth, so that you did not get the most important...true dragon energy."

"That is why Your Majesty... now looks clear and bright, as if you were reborn, instead of..."

"Become a brutal, evil, greedy and treacherous demon." Liu Hong continued with Liu Zhaoqing's words.

"Zhao Qing is still as smart as ever. He knows my current situation without me having to say much." Liu Hong stroked his beard lightly, looked at Liu Zhaoqing and praised him.

At this moment, a small yellow creature suddenly jumped out from the peach tree in the distance in the dark night and landed steadily on Liu Hong's shoulder.

"My Huan beast is here too? It's really a series of good things." Seeing this little creature, Liu Hong smiled happily and reached out to hold Huan in his arms and caress it.

"Come to think of it, the Queen of Huan Beast also loved it very much. She once cried in front of me because it was missing. I didn't expect it to hide here."

Reaching out to tease the pointed furry ears of the Huan beast, Liu Hong smiled like an ordinary elder from a noble family, kind and easy-going.

But Liu Zhaoqing did not show the same expression. His look and heart were still very heavy.

"Marquis Changping, just speak frankly." Liu Hong stroked the beast and smiled, "Otherwise the day will soon dawn."

"..."

At this point, Liu Zhaoqing didn't think any more and asked the question he wanted to ask most.

Liu Zhaoqing bowed to Liu Hong and asked, "Your Majesty, I want to know if Your Majesty has really... suppressed Qiongqi?"

Questioning the emperor's words is not a minor crime, but Liu Zhaoqing must ask this question at this moment, which concerns the lives of all people in the world.

"Qiongqi is not an ordinary beast. As one of the Four Evils, it is more accurately an extremely vicious divine beast. Qiongqi's ambition is to make the four directions submit to him, and what he covets is the flesh and blood of all the gods in the world."

Liu Hong did not answer Liu Zhaoqing directly, but talked about Qiongqi instead. He kept his calm gaze on the beast and started talking about it as if he was chatting.

"So, the emperor is what it covets, because Qiongqi knows that if it controls the emperor, it can control the entire world, and thus all the gods and auspicious signs in the world will be in its hands."

"Although Qiongqi is powerful, he was defeated by the Emperor in ancient times and was seriously injured. He hid in the depths of darkness and endured until now. However, even so, he did not miss any opportunity to cause chaos in the world. In the Qin Dynasty before the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin died, the world was in chaos, and Qiongqi also appeared once."

"The people at that time were not like they are now, where everyone has the strength of jackals and tigers. In the past, it was thanks to Emperor Gaozu and Overlord leading an army of 100,000 that they were able to repel them again. As for what happened afterwards... I believe you also know about what happened to Emperor Gaozu and Overlord." Liu Hong stroked the beast and continued.

"Originally, even this kind of beast would not dare to covet the Han Dynasty today. Emperor Guangwu has endowed the people of the world with the power to look directly at the destiny of heaven. Naturally, the Han Dynasty will no longer be afraid of injured beasts usurping the throne. But now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, I was too eager to achieve success, so it took advantage of the opportunity."
