Clouds and mountain tops

Chapter 161 Ancient Prescription Master

If Baili Gu really had the chance to inherit the throne, he would be soaring to the sky. Being the supreme ruler is the dream of many people.

Of course, Bailiqi's family is very likely to enjoy the good life. Because Baili Gu is a very filial child. He is very kind to his parents and brothers and sisters. Although his temperament may change once he becomes the emperor, it should not change fundamentally. Therefore, there is basically no problem for Bailiqi's family to enjoy the glory and wealth.

These are good things that Bailiqi and his family never thought of.

In fact, their family currently has no worries about food and drink, and they can buy clothes and supplies as needed, so they live a comfortable life, but their status is average, that is, they are some of the wealthier people in the group.

However, if they are really related to the emperor, their status will naturally rise.

But their family didn't seem to be too keen on this, because they also knew the dangers of the struggle for imperial power!

The events of the previous dynasty had already spread everywhere. Everyone knew that the crown prince had been deposed and the queen had been forced to commit suicide! The late emperor even went around looking for people to see if the crown prince had any remnants, and if the crown prince had any descendants left in the world.

If we are discovered, we will be killed.

Fortunately, there were still some good people in the court at that time. Although they knew that the late emperor was tracking down the prince's remnants and descendants, they still found ways to protect the prince's only son, Lan Xun, who was still in prison.

Later, these people finally waited for the emperor's amnesty. They took this opportunity to take Lan Xun out of prison and sent him to his grandmother's home.

Lan Xun spent several years of peaceful life at his grandmother's house.

During this period, the late emperor finally came to his senses. He realized that he had been used by others and had done stupid things like killing the prince and forcing the queen to commit suicide. So he killed the prince's enemy to relieve his unhappiness, but the prince could not be resurrected, so he issued an edict to restore some of the prince's reputation, and at the same time restored the identity and status of the prince's children. Although it seemed to be meaningless, it still helped the prince's only son in the dark. After all, if there was no edict from the late emperor, he would not be recognized by the royal family, and there would be no possibility of entering the palace again.

Although the late emperor had issued a relevant edict, Lan Xun's grandmother's family was no longer willing to surrender, because the previous incident had dealt them a heavy blow, and they could not afford to make any more mistakes, so they would rather live an ordinary life than live a life of swords and blood.

But not everyone can make their own choices in life. Although Lan Xun's grandmother's family did not want to go down the officialdom path and would rather make a living by doing business, there were still people who did not want them to live a balanced life.

Those people want to wipe out the roots!

Once the relationship is completely broken, they will often become enemies for life!

This is exactly the case with the prince's hostile forces. They once gained great glory by hunting down the prince, but they were also exterminated because of it. Instead of looking for the reasons within themselves, they took a path of no return and completely broke with the prince.

They were lucky enough to have a few people survived the genocide. They called it a spark, and the implication was very clear: it would start a prairie fire.

These people also have their own set of survival rules. They rely on the opponents of the prince's faction to survive, and the opponents of the prince's faction are naturally welcome, because with the help of these people, they have the opportunity to suppress the prince's lineage for a long time, and thus firmly control the overall situation of the government in their own hands.

The prince's hostile forces finally got some clues. Although Lan Xun was living in his grandmother's house and had changed his name, they still decided not to miss this opportunity to kill him, so they hired some assassins and conspired to kill Lan Xun. However, they did not expect that there were remnants of the deposed prince in their ranks. They immediately passed the news to some powerful people, including Master Huiyan of Pufa Temple. Master Huiyan was the emperor's younger brother before he became a monk, but he was very optimistic about the deposed prince. However, he was powerless to persuade the late emperor, and finally left regrets. However, since the late emperor was gone, he could still play a small role, at least protecting the son of the deposed prince should be possible. Although he did not have much power, he had many martial arts, and even the best martial arts.

But the situation was too urgent at the time, so Master Huiyan did not organize much force. He only mobilized a small part of the force, which mainly came from some officials who were on good terms with him.

Master Huiyan went directly to Lan Xun's grandmother's house and briefly told these people some of the information. At first, these people were a little skeptical. They thought that as long as they did not fight with the world, no one would come to embarrass them. But this was just their wishful thinking.

A real struggle cannot be stopped unless one side is completely wiped out.

Master Huiyan finally persuaded Lanxun's grandmother's family, and they agreed to let Master Huiyan transfer Lanxun to another place.

Master Huiyan originally planned to transfer Lan Xun to a friend of his, a wandering master named Gu Fang. This wandering master was also very strong, and his kung fu was comparable to that of Master Huiyan. Although he was a bit vicious, that was just a signboard of his protection. He deliberately left such a bad impression on the world so that he could live a quiet life with few people disturbing him.

This master had come to the Pufa Temple before to discuss martial arts with him and told him his whereabouts. He would no longer travel around, but instead chose a small temple and planned to become a great elder in Xunli. He would have a good salary, and although this temple was a little small, its environment was quite beautiful, suitable for people like him to live in retirement.

The journey from Lan Xun's grandmother's house to the temple where Gu Fang is located is quite far, and one needs to pass through a place called the Evil Dragon Valley. Master Huiyan was reluctant to take this road at first, because there were too many accidents in the Evil Dragon Valley, and many heroes had fallen into trouble in this place. This place was a bit weird, but for Lan Xun, Master Huiyan finally chose this road.

But in the end, Master Huiyan was unable to escape the curse of this place and eventually died in the Evil Dragon Valley.

However, Master Huiyan did not involve the ancient recipe. He just asked Bailiqi to go to Pufa Temple to retrieve his notes if he had the chance in the future, as a reward for Bailiqi and his son for saving him. At the same time, he entrusted Bailiqi and his son to take in Lan Xun. He did not intend for Lan Xun to return to the palace in the future. His greatest wish at this time was just to let Lan Xun survive and save his life.

Master Gufang was also very lonely later, so he went to Pufa Temple again, but the monks there were not very enthusiastic about him. After asking around, Master Gufang vaguely guessed that Master Huiyan was probably no longer alive. He had lost both an opponent and a close friend.

Gu Fang did not disturb anyone again, but quietly left the Pufa Temple. He did not recognize many people in the Pufa Temple. Gu Fang still respected Master Huiyan's master. But apart from these two people, he did not like other people. It was the abbot Master Huijing, who usually looked righteous, that made Gu Fang feel uncomfortable. Unless it was because of Master Huiyan, Gu Fang was unwilling to pay attention to the abbot in other circumstances.

This was just due to his intuition, and Master Gu Fang's intuition was rarely wrong. As long as he didn't like someone intuitively, he would live a comfortable life after leaving them. Once he got too close to them, his life would often be full of troubles. Therefore, Master Gu Fang would rather believe in his intuition and was not afraid of offending some people, even if that person might be a great dignitary.
