"The roots of the Ghost Sect are in Shu. The old Taoist must not just watch the Ghost Sect's orthodoxy being tarnished."
Zhang Xiu drank a sip of Wuliangye and spoke louder unconsciously. It was impossible to tell that this old guy was over a hundred years old.
Wei Cheng and others frowned, and Xu Huang shouted angrily, "That evil woman is really hateful. There are hundreds of innocent girls. She behaves so badly. If someone touches her, she will be cut into pieces with a thousand knives."
.”
Zhang Xiu sighed and drank the remaining wine in the bowl, as if drinking to drown his sorrows.
Wei Cheng said: "I once heard that Liu Yan had a hidden illness. Taoist priest thought, might this matter be related to his illness?"
"oh?"
Zhang Xiu was startled when he heard this. He immediately put down the sea bowl and said in a deep voice: "It is possible that that woman has magical medical skills and is quite famous in Yizhou... Young Master said that Liu Yan has a hidden disease. I don't know what the disease is?"
Wei Cheng squinted his eyes, and after some recollection, he said with great certainty: "I have a thick sore on my back."
Zhang Xiu was stunned.
After a while, he said with a gloomy face: "If the news you got is true, then this disease, no, this Liu Yan should be infected by my ghost sect's witchcraft. To be precise, it is a parasitic disease.
Gu worms in toad eggs.”
Wei Cheng's face straightened. When he first checked the historical data, he also felt that Liu Yan was infected by some poisonous insect. After all, Sichuan and Shu in this era were still very primitive, and poisonous miasma, poisonous insects, and ferocious beasts could be seen almost everywhere.
When he heard Zhang Xiu talking about toad eggs, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Parasites are a disease that makes people sick even in later generations. Wei Cheng once witnessed a woman tortured by parasites in a small clinic in a mountainous area. There were so many parasites that they crawled directly from her eyes.
The kind that comes out.
(It is a true story. Those who are interested in Jimei can search online. It is recommended to watch the movie before eating.)
Tian Feng frowned and said, "If that's the case, then the woman's intentions are not small."
Several other people looked at each other, not knowing why.
Only Wei Cheng, Wei Min, Zhang Zhongjing, and Zhang Xiu showed serious expressions on their faces.
Zhang Xiu frowned and murmured in confusion: "Yes, she does have ulterior motives, but what is her intention in designing high-ranking officials in the court like this?"
Wei Cheng raised his glass and pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "I remembered... Uh, no, I mean, I should know what she is planning."
Zhang Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng put down the wine glass again, and after some recollection, he said, "She should be paving the way for her son, that is, for Zhang Lu."
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then said lonelyly: "Now that Gongqi has taken the position of Heavenly Master, what else does she have to be dissatisfied with?"
Wei Cheng smiled and shook his head, saying: "Zhang Lu, mother and son, have big plans. They only have five buckets of rice, but I'm afraid they still don't value them. What they really want is to gain a place in this troubled world."
Historically, that is next year.
With the help of Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu killed Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, and then Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu. Not only did he occupy the position of Heavenly Master of Five Pecks of Rice, but with the help of his mother, he was reused by Liu Yan to guard Hanzhong.
, specializing in attacking and killing imperial envoys.
Thinking about it now, the reason why Zhang Lu killed so many court envoys probably had nothing to do with Liu Yan, but because he didn't want people to know that Liu Yan was already dead, otherwise he would have no backing and sooner or later he would be invaded Hanzhong.
And by the time Liu Yan died in 194, Zhang Lu had already managed Hanzhong with iron walls and iron walls. He even directed and acted on his own, had someone dig a jade seal in the ground, and instigated the people to call him King Hanning.
Since then, the glorious years have begun for more than thirty years. It was not until 215 that Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 to suppress the border. Zhang Lucai had to surrender. Not only did he become in-laws with Cao Cao, but he was also granted the title of marquis, which made people admire him.
.
However, this has not happened yet.
As soon as Wei Cheng finished speaking, Zhang Xiu was the first to retort, saying: "It's absolutely impossible. I watched this kid Gongqi grow up. He, he is a kind person."
Wei Cheng has never met Zhang Lu, so he can't comment too much, but he knows the process of history. Historically, Zhang Lu did dominate Hanzhong for more than thirty years. Maybe he was really kind at the beginning, but when a person has power...
Sooner or later it will float.
At this time, Wei Min said in a deep voice: "Perhaps the real initiator of all this is not Zhang Lu, but his mother."
People's hearts are always dissatisfied. Zhang Luruo is just an ordinary person, maybe he doesn't have so much right and wrong, but now he has taken over tens of thousands of believers with five buckets of rice at a young age...
Wei Min couldn't help but look at Wei Cheng. Just like Wei Cheng, he was just an ordinary noble son at first, but later he "resurrected from the dead" and had enlightenment. The elders in the family had higher expectations for him day by day.
How high can it get now?
Wei Min picked up the wine glass to hide the shame in his heart. The elders of the Wei clan, including him, all hoped that Wei Cheng could compete for the supreme position.
Zhang Lu’s mother hopes that her son will become a successful child. This expectation is so similar to theirs!
Therefore, the person present who can best understand Zhang Lu's mother is probably none other than Wei Min.
After listening to Wei Min's analysis, Zhang Xiu's expression changed and he stopped arguing for Zhang Lu.
He didn't say a word.
Zhang Lu is indeed a kind person.
At the same time, he is also a filial person.
If the woman asked him to do something he didn't want to do, would the child refuse?
Zhang Xiu was heartbroken, but he already had an answer.
"Taoist Priest, listen to my advice and don't go back."
When Wei Cheng saw Zhang Xiu's sad expression, he couldn't help but feel pity and opened his mouth to persuade him.
Historically, because he had no influence of his own, Zhang Xiu would be used by Zhang Lu and his son to assassinate Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong, and then be silenced by Zhang Lu. This shows how much Zhang Xiu trusts Zhang Lu, otherwise he would never be easily assassinated based on his ability.
kill.
Wei Cheng, who had experienced betrayal by the person he trusted most, knew the pain very well, not to mention that Zhang Xiu also lost his life because of it.
Zhang Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Wei Cheng, thinking that Wei Cheng had some information that he didn't know, so he stood up and bowed, frowning and said: "Young Master's good intention, I understand it, but the ghost gate has only such a scourge. If you don't go back, I will
I feel ashamed."
Wei Cheng saw that he was firm in his words and stopped trying to persuade him.
After thinking for a while, he said: "It's useless to say anything like this. Since the Taoist priest insists on going back, I will also ask you to come to the house tomorrow at noon. As the saying goes, you can't have the intention of harming others, but you must have the intention of guarding against others. I have something here.
Self-defense items may come in handy at critical moments."
Zhang Xiu heard this and bowed gratefully.
He knew that Wei Cheng reminded him several times because of Zhang Zhongjing's face, and now even gave him life-saving things. He secretly remembered this friendship in his heart, and would repay it twice as much if he had the chance.
"By the way, the old Taoist's trip south this time will be very unlucky. There are two people who would like to ask the young master to take care of them."
