Word count: 16400 The next morning, Wushuang dispatched over a thousand soldiers to Mount Lingjiu. Upon reaching the mountain, these soldiers found Xu Sheng and took command of him. Wushuang learned from Luan Yong that Luan Ying was trapped in the Lingjiu Palace, his fate unknown. She issued an edict promoting Xu Sheng to Military Commander of the Luoxie region, responsible for suppressing the rebels at the Lingjiu Palace. She also specifically instructed Xu Sheng: if anything happened to Luan Ying, kill all the monks of the Lingjiu Palace. Meanwhile, the garrisons throughout Tibet received orders from the Prince of Zhenxi to cooperate with local officials in apprehending all those involved in the rebellion. Xu Sheng instructed that Luan Ying be sent to the Prince of Zhenxi's palace first, so she could rest assured. Although Lin Chong had cured Luan Ying of the Yinling Palm poison, she still had many sword wounds that required treatment and rest. Luan Ying was reluctant to leave, but she was also worried about her younger brother Luan Yong's injuries and wanted to visit him. She embraced Xu Sheng and kissed him for a long time before reluctantly bidding farewell to her beloved Xu Lang and her adoptive father Lin Chong. She was then escorted down the mountain by a dozen soldiers assigned by Xu Sheng. Xu Sheng ordered the remaining soldiers to surround Lingjiu Palace and shouted to the monks inside, "Put down your weapons and stand in the open space outside Lingjiu Palace. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy." Most of the monks inside already knew that the Living Buddha Gushi had been murdered the previous night, and the riots down the mountain would soon be quelled by the Prince of Zhenxi; further resistance was pointless. However, five or six of the Living Buddha Gushi's direct disciples attempted to set themselves on fire, perishing with Lingjiu Palace. The other monks, of course, did not want to die with them. They swarmed forward, captured these men, bound them with chains and ropes, and pushed them out of the temple. Lin Chong had been in Tibet for several years to complete his task of cleaning up the sect for his master Huijue. He had already secretly investigated and obtained a list of all the disciples in Lingjiu Palace who had practiced the Yinling Gong. Xu Sheng assigned several soldiers who could speak Tibetan to assist their master in selecting all the Lingjiu Palace disciples on the list, then escorting them all to the back mountain for execution. Including some bandit leaders involved in the rebellion, Xu Sheng and Lin Chong killed over a hundred people on Lingjiu Mountain, burning their bodies and burying them in pits. Xu Sheng led his men in a thorough search of Lingjiu Palace, finding not only a great deal of gold and silver jewelry, but also two secret chambers filled with corpses on the back mountain. According to other monks, these corpses included captured merchants and travelers (who were killed after stealing goods and luggage), executed slaves and monks (for their transgressions), and young girls killed over the years for practicing Yinling Gong. These bones were used to craft various objects, including prayer beads worn around the necks of monks. Xu Sheng had his soldiers count them; there were over three hundred complete skulls alone! Deep beneath the main hall of Lingjiu Palace, a dungeon was discovered, containing several emaciated, poorly clothed individuals. Among them was none other than the Tibetan Living Buddha, Master Sanggen, who had been missing for over a decade. Sanggen and Gushi belonged to the same sect, but under different masters. He had long been at odds with Gushi and had been captured and imprisoned by Gushi's men. When he was rescued, he was on the verge of death. Upon seeing this man, Lin Chong whispered a few words to his disciple Xu Sheng, who then ordered several soldiers to fetch a physician to come up the mountain and treat Master Sanggen. After returning to his manor from Lingjiu Palace, the chieftain of Tusang immediately dispatched his trusted men to various villages, towns, and streets, where they would beat drums and gongs and shout, "The Han people's occupation of the Tubo and Uyghur peoples has aroused the wrath of both heaven and man! The Living Buddha Gushi of Lingjiu Palace has obtained the decree of Buddha and the gods and has killed the evil Zhenxi King. Now is the time for everyone to rise up and take revenge on the Han people! You may plunder all the shops and houses owned by the Han people, as well as their grain, cloth, gold, silver, and women. Whoever takes it all keeps it!" At first, the Tubo people watching found it unbelievable: How could the Zhenxi King, a figure like a god, be killed? Were her hundreds of thousands of troops just for show? But after hearing it many times, some restless individuals actually went to plunder the shops owned by the Han people. The shop owners and their employees naturally refused to allow it, and a fierce battle ensued, resulting in casualties on both sides. This incident alarmed the local government, which dispatched constables to arrest some of the troublemakers. After returning to the yamen and clarifying the situation, they sent even more constables to arrest those who had incited the riot. Local officials in the Ming Dynasty were assessed annually by their superiors, and the imperial court also had censors stationed throughout the country to supervise them. Therefore, they dared not be negligent. Empress Hu Sanniang particularly admired those who were courageous and proactive, and had repeatedly commended such officials. In the Ming Dynasty, it was unacceptable to shirk responsibility or muddle through. If one failed to manage their duties or acted against the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they would be reprimanded or warned by their superiors at best, and at worst lose their position or be punished according to the law. Most of the people Tusang sent to incite the riot were arrested by the authorities; the rest escaped quickly. Seeing that this tactic was ineffective, he had no choice but to take a desperate gamble and personally lead the charge. He knew he didn't have much time left; the authorities would soon track him down. Tusang summoned all his servants, numbering over three thousand, and distributed them with knives, spears, clubs, bows, crossbows, and halberds. Tusang addressed them, "Tibet is about to change! I'm taking you out to kill Han Chinese. For every Han Chinese you kill, you'll be rewarded with two hundred coins. Half of the wealth and women you seize from the Han Chinese will be given to me, and the other half is yours!" He also wanted to make a fortune. At this moment, a man in his fifties named Loxi, a minor foreman, stepped forward from the group of servants. He asked Tusang, "My lord, my three sons: one serves in the army of the Prince of Zhenxi, another works in the government, and the last one has left to make a living on his own. If we drive away the Han Chinese, will they be punished? Will their offspring be captured and forced back into slavery?" Tusang was furious. This Loxi had only been promoted to a minor foreman because he knew a few characters, and now he dared to oppose his master—how outrageous! Just as he was about to order his men to drag Losi away and whip him, several other servants asked similar questions: "My daughter married a Han man, will she be killed too?" "My brother runs a shop with a Han man, will his goods be stolen?" The crowd bombarded them with questions, leaving Tusang speechless. This was getting out of hand; these lowly servants dared to defy their master. He gave a signal to his trusted men, who grabbed knives, spears, and clubs and surrounded Losi and his men. Seeing the situation was dire, Losi retreated while shouting to the crowd, "Master Tusang wants to rebel! Don't follow him to your deaths! Even if the Prince of Zhenxi dies, Her Majesty the Empress is still alive. The Ming Dynasty has been incredibly kind to us, the lowly people of Tibet, don't forget!" This threw the three thousand-plus servants into chaos. Although these servants still lived under their master's thumb, which of them didn't have one or two siblings, sons, or daughters who were married to Han men or worked for them? Many of these people had relatives or friends working in the Ming Dynasty's government offices. If all the Han people were killed, they would inevitably be reduced to the lowest of the low, forced to live lives worse than pigs and dogs. Among the crowd were several of Luoxi's friends. They held newly issued weapons, standing close to him, confronting Tusang's confidants. In the past, a mere glare from Tusang would have sent his servants rushing forward to slaughter unruly commoners like Luoxi. But today, their eyes revealed sympathy and approval for Luoxi. Tusang inwardly groaned; he truly dared not unleash a massacre upon his own servants. He never imagined that in just a few years, the prestige and influence of the Zhenxi King and the Empress in Tibet would grow so high that he could no longer command these lowly servants! The same thing happened in the homes of most of the leaders who participated in the rebellion; in the end, only a few leaders were able to lead their servants out to burn, kill, and plunder. These men were quickly surrounded and captured by the government constables, bound and thrown into prison. Several unfortunate leaders were even bound by their own family members and taken to the authorities to report the crime. Li Zhongxia encountered the same trouble in the army. Although he was the Western Regions Garrison Commander commanding 20,000 troops, apart from his hundred-odd personal guards and a dozen trusted generals, the other officers and soldiers had followed the Prince of Zhenxi in his campaigns, and they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the Empress. Li Zhongxia dared not directly try to win them over, but instead sent his confidants to spread rumors in the army that "the Prince of Zhenxi is dead." Unexpectedly, most of those he sent to spread the rumors were bound by their officers and sent to the military judge for legal proceedings. Several others were even beheaded on the spot by the enraged soldiers. Li Zhongxia already felt guilty. While plotting a rebellion with Tusang Chieftain and Gushi Living Buddha, he insisted that Gushi Living Buddha send his disciples to assassinate the Prince of Zhenxi, while he would only provide intelligence. Now he knows the assassination attempt has failed, and his involvement in the rebellion can no longer be concealed; the Prince of Zhenxi will soon send men to deal with him. In desperation, he fled the camp with a few personal guards and rode swiftly back to his Uyghur homeland. He went to see his mother and begged for help. From his earliest memories, his mother had led her large family in battles against various enemies, enduring unimaginable hardships. In his mind, his mother had always been the omnipotent mother of Li Zhongxia, the Uyghur woman who was the wife of Duke Jingguo, Li Renyi, and was now over sixty years old. She had given birth to sixteen children, and her entire family, including her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, numbered over [number missing].A hundred people. Although she was illiterate, she handled important matters with great decisiveness. Since she had sought refuge with Queen Lin Wushuang of Western Xia, her descendants had rendered many meritorious services in various battles. Wushuang had treated her well; many of her descendants held official positions in the army or the court, enjoying high esteem. Wushuang had even persuaded the Empress to bestow upon her the title of First-Rank Lady of the Ming Dynasty, along with abundant gold, silver, and land, allowing her to live out her later years in peace in her hometown. Li Zhongxia was the most intelligent and successful of her children. She never imagined that he would participate in a rebellion, opposing her great benefactor and adoptive mother, the Prince of Zhenxi! She dismissed her servants, looking at her son kneeling and kowtowing, pondering what to do. Now it wasn't just a matter of saving Li Zhongxia's life, but the survival of her entire family. She knew without asking that this unfilial son must have instigated his siblings to rebel with him. If the court investigated, failing to report such a crime was a capital offense. Even if the Prince of Zhenxi showed leniency and only executed Li Zhongxia, sparing his brothers and sisters, their future in the Ming Dynasty would be ruined. Her first thought was to behead her son, Li Zhongxia, and then take his head to the Prince of Zhenxi to beg for forgiveness for her other children. She was a decisive woman; for the sake of her more than one hundred children and grandchildren, she was capable of killing her only son, Li Zhongxia. Li Zhongxia seemed to guess what his mother was thinking, crawled over, hugged her legs, and wept uncontrollably. He cried until his voice was hoarse, finally saying to his mother, "I know I have committed an unforgivable crime and am willing to die. I only hope that my death can bring peace to the rest of the family!" The old Uyghur woman seemed moved by the mother's love, slowly unbuttoning her clothes to reveal her withered breasts. She pulled Li Zhongxia close to her chest, letting him suckle her nipples. Finally, Li Zhongxia knelt again, craning his neck, waiting for his mother to call for his head. Li Zhongxia's mother sat there motionless. Half an hour passed before she spoke, "Get up, let's go find your father together. Perhaps he can spare your life." The days of Zhenxi Wang Lin Wushuang were also not easy. The Tibetan rebellion, lacking support from the lower classes, was quickly quelled. However, most of the Tibetan chieftains had participated to varying degrees, and their confidants and families, totaling nearly ten thousand, were arrested and imprisoned in two military camps near Luoxie City. One camp held adult men, and the other women and children. How to deal with these people was a troublesome matter. These people harbored resentment towards the Ming Dynasty, and keeping them alive might lead to another rebellion, but killing them all seemed inappropriate. Although the rebellion was large in scale, due to timely discovery and proper handling, it resulted in fewer than a thousand casualties among soldiers and civilians. Another matter that worried Wushuang was that her chief eunuch, Zhu Yongqing, had been shot in the shoulder with an arrow while fighting the rebels. It was only later that they discovered the arrow was coated with a deadly poison, likely intended specifically for assassinating the Prince of Zhenxi. Yongqing, feeling guilty for Wushuang's peril, gritted his teeth and continued to serve her tirelessly after bandaging his wound. When the poison took effect, he suddenly fainted and fell from his horse, sustaining injuries. Wushuang immediately ordered the best physicians to treat him. The army physicians, after examining his injuries, could only report to Wushuang the truth: Yongqing had broken his leg, though not seriously. However, the arrow was coated with a deadly poison unique to the Western Regions, for which there was no antidote. Yongqing's recovery depended entirely on his own fate. At this moment, Yongqing regained consciousness. Wushuang, fighting back tears, told him to rest and recuperate, and assigned several of her personal maids to take turns caring for him, washing him, and feeding him medicine. Several days passed, but Yongqing showed no improvement. In the middle of the night, Yongqing awoke from his coma once more. Due to the strict orders of the Prince of Zhenxi, the maids had no choice but to wake him from his rest. Wushuang came to Yongqing's bedside and saw that his face was flushed, seemingly as healthy as ever. But as soon as he saw Wushuang, he called her "Mother." Wushuang's heart sank; she knew this was probably a final flicker of life before death, and Yongqing's time to die was near. Tears welled up in her eyes. Wushuang helped Yongqing up and held him in her arms. Yongqing seemed to have regained some strength, but his mind was still clouded. He called Wushuang "Dear Mother, Sister," then "Third Mother, Your Majesty the Empress," and even "My Virtuous Wife, Liqing," embracing her tightly and kissing her. Wushuang knew the time for their final farewell had come. She instructed the maids to undress both Yongqing and herself, and then she went to bed with him. She addressed Yongqing, saying, "My son, your mother is here," "I am your third mother, your beloved Empress," "Let Liqing love you one more time," "Your sister Wushuang wants to sleep with you," while gently kissing his entire body. The maids, seeing this, couldn't help but burst into tears. Yongqing was finally coaxed into a smile and fell asleep, but this time he never woke up again. That very night, Wushuang, with tears in her eyes, personally wrote a letter to her mother, Hu Sanniang, reporting Yongqing's death, and dispatched a guard to deliver the letter to the Tokyo Imperial Palace with the utmost urgency. In the following days, Prince Zhenxi, Lin Wushuang, also fell ill, unable to handle military and political affairs, and unable to meet with any officials. Only her beloved sister, Luan Ying, stayed by her side. Wushuang was in a daze all day, sometimes talking nonsense, and also suffered from loss of appetite and poor sleep. The physicians said that Prince Zhenxi's health was not serious and that he only needed to rest for ten days to half a month. Luan Ying dared not be careless. The physicians were helpless against Yongqing's poison. Wushuang and Yongqing had spent their final moments together; what if she too was poisoned? With no one in charge of the entire Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty, Luan Ying was frantic with worry, yet had no good solution. Suddenly, she thought of Wushuang's father, her adoptive father, Lin Chong. Lin Chong had used Buddhist techniques to remove the poison from her, with remarkable results. Perhaps he could cure Wushuang! She found Xu Sheng, and before she could even be affectionate with him, she urged him to quickly fetch their master. Although Lin Chong had instructed them not to reveal his whereabouts to anyone, saving the life of the Prince of Zhenxi was paramount, and he couldn't worry about that now. Lin Chong was still at Lingjiu Palace handling the affairs of his sect. After interrogation, Xu Sheng identified the monks directly involved in the rebellion and brought them down the mountain to be imprisoned in the military camp alongside the Tibetan leaders. He entrusted the remaining monks and the entire Lingjiu Palace to his master, Lin Chong, for his disposal. The Tibetan Living Buddha, Master Sanggen, who had been imprisoned by Gushi, had largely recovered after several days of recuperation. Lin Chong burned the section on Yinling Gong from the sect's secret manual that he had seized from Gushi, giving the rest to Master Sanggen and imploring him to become the sect's leader. Master Sanggen was an upright man. He had been imprisoned by Gushi before the Ming Dynasty conquered Tibet and had only recently been rescued by Xu Sheng and Lin Chong. He had learned from the other monks about everything that had happened over the years and deeply felt that Her Majesty the Empress's policies in Tibet were truly benevolent, unseen in a century. Tibet was fortunate, and its people were fortunate. Therefore, he readily agreed to Lin Chong's request and promised to restrain all his disciples from engaging in worldly affairs and instead focus solely on Buddhist practice. Many of the monks in Lingjiu Palace were originally disciples of Master Sanggen, having switched their allegiance to Gushi after Sanggen's disappearance. Now that all the disciples of Gushi have come to respect Sanggen as their master, no one objects to his appointment as the new leader. Lin Chong finally completed the task entrusted to him by his dying master, Huijue, and breathed a sigh of relief. Now he can grow his hair back, return to secular life, and see his beloved Third Sister. Xu Sheng rushed down the mountain and told his master that Zhu Yongqing, the commander of the guards of the Prince of Zhenxi, had died of poisoning. The Prince of Zhenxi is currently unwell and may have also been poisoned by the same poison. Upon hearing this, Lin Chong immediately set off with his disciple down Lingjiu Mountain and rode to the Prince of Zhenxi's palace. Wushuang's condition suddenly worsened, and Luan Ying was already frantic in the palace. She caught Lin Chong and his disciple and led them into the palace to Wushuang's bedside. At this time, Wushuang was feverish, her face was flushed, and her clothes and bedding were soaked with sweat. Luan Ying had already told her that Xu Sheng had gone to fetch her father. When Lin Chong arrived at the bedside, Wu Shuang vaguely remembered her father's appearance. She tried to struggle to sit up, but her body was too weak. Lin Chong embraced his daughter, comforting her, "My daughter, don't panic, your father will definitely save you!" A faint smile appeared on Wu Shuang's face, and she nodded weakly. Lin Chong reached inside Wu Shuang's clothes, feeling her chest and lower abdomen, his expression grave. He laid Wu Shuang down and covered her with the blanket. Then he called Luan Ying outside and said to her, "Wushuang has indeed been poisoned. Although this poison can be cured, it is inconvenient for me to do so." Luan Ying was very anxious and asked, "What is inconvenient for you, Godfather? I wonder if I can lend a hand? As long as it can save Sister Wushuang, I will not hesitate to give my life!" Lin Chong stared at Luan Ying's face, sighed, and said, "I am very pleased with the deep sisterly affection between you and Wushuang. However, the poison Wushuang has been poisoned is very difficult to cure. It requires a man who has practiced my sect's martial arts to strip naked and unite with her, and only through sexual intercourse can the poison be expelled from her body. I am Wushuang's biological father, and doing so would violate the great principles of human relations." Lin Chong continued, "I once taught this Buddhist martial arts to my disciple Xu Sheng, and he can go and cure Wushuang in my place. However, I know the affection between you and Xu Sheng, and I have always hoped that you two could become husband and wife..." Luan Ying interrupted.Lin Chong said, "Father, please don't say any more. Luan Ying will go and fetch Xu Lang to detoxify Sister Wushuang. Luan Ying and Sister Wushuang are sworn brothers, and as for Xu Lang and me... Luan Ying is content with this life!" With that, he turned and went out to find Xu Sheng. Under the guidance of his master Lin Chong, Xu Sheng finally succeeded in completely removing the poison from Wushuang's body. During the treatment, Luan Ying stayed by Wushuang's bedside, caring for her without leaving her side for a moment. Besides Xu Sheng, Luan Ying, and Lin Chong, only Wushuang's few personal maids could approach the Zhenxi Prince's palace. A month later, Wushuang fully recovered and began to regain control of the military and political power of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty. She immediately and decisively resolved many problems left over from the suppression of the Tubo rebellion, and also dealt with most of those involved in the rebellion. The property of the rebellion leaders, including houses, gold, silver, and grain, was confiscated and confiscated, and their fields and livestock were distributed to the former commoners and servants. Families with elderly or weak members received government relief to ensure their basic needs were met. Women and children, except for a few directly involved in arson, murder, and looting, were released without charge. Adult men directly or indirectly involved in the riot were exiled to remote areas to build bridges and roads for the Ming Dynasty for ten years. All children who lost their parents in the riot were dealt with by local officials, generally given to childless families for adoption, while those who could not be adopted were cared for and educated by government officials. Luo Xi, who stood up to stop Tusang from inciting a rebellion, was rewarded with one hundred taels of gold by Wushuang, and other people who led the resistance against the riot were also commended by the government. Now, Luo Xi's family keeps memorial tablets of the Empress and the Prince of Zhenxi, and he leads his children and grandchildren in praying every day for the Empress Hu Sanniang and the Prince of Zhenxi Lin Wushuang to be healthy and live long lives. As for Tusang and the other chieftains, along with the high-ranking monks and a few rebellious officers, totaling over a thousand people, Her Majesty the Empress suggested that they all beheaded and displayed publicly to prevent future troubles. However, some ministers in the court disagreed, arguing that the Prince of Zhenxi would ascend the throne as Empress of the Ming Dynasty in a few years, and it was best to avoid further bloodshed at this time. In truth, all of these people deserved to die. The government discovered and destroyed several secret estates in Tibet, all belonging to Tusang and several other wealthy chieftains. The slaves working in these estates were crippled slaves, missing limbs, who had been subjected to private torture by the chieftains. Besides those whose hands and feet had been cut off by their masters, some had their eyes gouged out or their noses and ears cut off. The Ming Dynasty did not have specific legislation prohibiting such private torture, as such things were unheard of in other parts of the Ming Dynasty. On this day, Duke Jingguo Li Renyi and Li Zhongxia's mother came to request an audience with the Prince of Zhenxi. Before this, they had already bound their son, Li Zhongxia, and sent him to the Prince of Zhenxi's residence, bringing all their children and grandchildren to plead guilty to the Prince. At that time, Wushuang was still in danger, so Luan Yong temporarily imprisoned Li Zhongxia and Tusang, among others. Wushuang was heartbroken by her adopted son Li Zhongxia's betrayal and refused to see them. Li Renyi and the Uyghur woman knelt outside the Prince of Zhenxi's palace for three days and three nights, finally moving Wushuang, who then summoned them into the palace. Li Renyi felt that his son Li Zhongxia deserved to die, but he couldn't resist the persistent pleas of his first woman, so he came with her to beg the Prince of Zhenxi for mercy. The Uyghur woman moved Wushuang with her sincere heart and motherly love, and she agreed to spare Li Zhongxia's life. Li Renyi offered the Prince of Zhenxi a plan that would help her eliminate all the chieftains, monks, and officers involved in the rebellion without incurring the stigma of indiscriminate killing. Tusang and over a thousand other rebel leaders had been imprisoned for more than two months. They were the masterminds and direct participants in the uprising, knowing they were doomed from the moment they were captured. However, rumors circulated that while Her Majesty the Empress advocated severe punishment, the Prince of Zhenxi might pardon some of them to gain a reputation for benevolence. As their imprisonment lengthened, the rumors multiplied, leaving them mentally tormented and exhausted. Several, unable to bear the pressure, chose to commit suicide. Although the military camp where they were imprisoned was heavily guarded, they were not bound hand and foot and could move freely in their rooms. That day, Li Zhongxia, imprisoned together, secretly told his father-in-law, Tusang, that he had contacted his subordinates in the army and would be storming the prison that night. Tusang asked him if this was reliable, and whether the earlier rumors about the Prince of Zhenxi pardoning them were true or false. Li Zhongxia said, "The rumors of a pardon are true, but the Prince of Zhenxi has ultimately decided to kill us all. My confidants only decided to break out of the prison after receiving confirmation." He added, "The more people who escape tonight, the better, otherwise we'll be caught and killed by the pursuers very soon." Tusang and his men communicated and prepared for the escape, secretly informing the other prisoners as well. Since everyone would be executed if they didn't escape, they weren't worried about anyone tipping them off. At midnight, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp, throwing everyone into chaos. Of the thousand-plus prisoners, only a few too timid to move; the rest seized the opportunity to rush out of their cells and flee. The soldiers in the camp fought the fire while simultaneously killing the escapees. Only about three hundred escaped; the rest were killed. Those who escaped didn't dare to separate but gathered together, naturally led by Li Zhongxia and Tusang. They fled westward all night, finally reaching a treacherous valley at dawn. Exhausted and parched, they were fed and thirsty. Li Zhongxia's trusted men, who had been waiting outside, distributed pre-prepared rations to the group. At that moment, who cared? They took the rations without even looking and stuffed them into their mouths, expressing their gratitude to Li Zhongxia and the others. However, those who ate the rations began to experience severe stomach pains, which intensified until they collapsed to the ground, groaning in agony. Tusang, who had brought his own food, refused to eat Li Zhongxia's offering. Looking at the fallen men and Li Zhongxia's pale face, he finally realized he had fallen into the Prince of Zhenxi's trap: this escape was nothing but a scheme to eliminate them all. He no longer wanted to escape, nor did he have the strength to berate his son-in-law; he only regretted his past folly in plotting rebellion. At that moment, Xu Sheng appeared with hundreds of soldiers who had been lying in ambush on the surrounding mountains. Wielding gleaming swords and spears, they slaughtered all the traitors without exception. Those already poisoned were also stabbed to death. Then they buried all the bodies in several deep pits on the spot. The truth of the matter was strictly kept secret; the Tibetan people only knew that the former leaders had been imprisoned for the riot and then escaped together. Their whereabouts were unknown, but rumors circulated that they had fled to Tianzhu (India). Li Zhongxia was pardoned by the Prince of Zhenxi, allowed to live in anonymity with his daughter, but he was forbidden from ever holding an official position in the Ming Dynasty. Li Zhongxia, originally ambitious and arrogant, was devastated by this blow. He spent several months in depression, finally unable to bear it any longer, leaving a suicide note and drowning himself. In the note, he expressed deep regret for his actions. His daughter was later raised by her grandfather, Li Renyi. Li Zhongxia's siblings were not implicated. His mother, grateful for the Empress and the Prince of Zhenxi's kindness, led her entire family of over one hundred people in a vow never to betray the Ming Dynasty. To prevent her children and grandchildren from forgetting this vow, she decreed that the first child of every family, regardless of gender, should be given the surname Hu, making this the first family rule. In other words, the first child born into every family thereafter must take the Empress's surname. From then on, the Tubo and Uyghur regions were peaceful, and no further rebellions occurred. This stable and prosperous situation lasted for hundreds of years, a truly rare occurrence. But that's a story for later, so we'll leave it at that. At the Zhenbei Prince's palace, Qiongying was immediately embraced and kissed by Wudi upon arrival. She was flustered, unsure how to tell Wudi something. She had just visited her disciple Wushuang in Tubo and brought him shocking news: Zhu Yongqing had been struck by a poisoned arrow from a rebel during a fierce battle protecting Wushuang and had died! Wudi noticed Qiongying's distraction and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Qiongying was panting heavily from Wudi's ministrations, but she knew she had to tell him sooner or later. She embraced Wudi's head, brought her mouth close to his ear, and whispered the news of Zhu Yongqing's death. Wudi was stunned. He held Aunt Qiongying's naked body tightly to his chest, somewhat at a loss. He knew that although Chen Liqing was with him, she still deeply loved her original husband. If she knew this, she would be heartbroken. Wudi hated seeing his wife sad. He had always loved Liqing as much as he loved his Aunt Qiongying, and didn't want her to suffer any injustice. He understood that Liqing was not a woman who needed protection. She was incredibly intelligent and resilient, in no way inferior to him, the Prince of Zhenbei. Liqing's love for Yongqing might be somewhat like a mother's love for her child, or perhaps also like Aunt Qiongying's feelings for him. In fact, for the past few years, Wudi had been insanely jealous of Zhu Yongqing. Although he had taken Liqing away from Yongqing, Yongqing had quickly gained the favor of Wudi's mother, Hu Sanniang. Wudi knew all too well that his mother was mature and sexy, the dream goddess of every man in the Ming Dynasty. He absolutely did not want to imagine his alluring and beautiful mother being brutally fucked by Zhu Yongqing. But saying he didn't want to was useless; Wudi had seen it several times in his dreams.His mother was brutally fucked by Yongqing. Yongqing's luck was simply unbelievable; after fucking Wudi's own mother, he was sent to Wudi's younger sister, where he enjoyed the passion and tenderness of the charming and alluring Wushuang. If Wudi knew that his beloved Aunt Qiongying had also been fucked by Yongqing once, he would surely go mad. After Qiongying told Wudi about Yongqing's fatal injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief. She knelt on the ground, stretched out her jade hands to hold Wudi's buttocks, and began to gently lick Wudi's genitals with her tongue. While enjoying Aunt Qiongying's service, Wudi pondered how to comfort his beloved wife, Liqing. Qiongying's movements under him became faster and faster, and sweat appeared on her face and body. Wudi's big rod between his legs was stimulated by her to be extremely hard. He grabbed her and threw her onto the bed, forcefully inserting his big rod into her already overflowing peach blossom cave from behind. Qiongying cried out, her body trembling under Wudi's brutal thrusting. Liqing, being exceptionally intelligent, knew something serious must have happened the moment she saw Qiongying accompany Wudi to her palace. She had always been grateful to Qiongying; without her mediation, her entanglement with Wudi and Yongqing might have ended tragically. She had heard about Yongqing's later gaining the favor of the Empress and the Prince of Zhenxi, and she was happy for him: every cloud has a silver lining; Yongqing had finally won the woman he had longed for. However, the news of Yongqing's death still filled her with sorrow: Wudi was right, Yongqing was like her child to her. She didn't wail loudly, but silently shed tears. Wudi approached and, in front of Aunt Qiongying, embraced Liqing and kissed her cheek. Liqing said to him, "When Yongqing divorced me, I begged him to beat me severely, but he absolutely refused. I wonder if my husband can grant my wish now and give me a good beating?"
Wudi was taken aback by Liqing's request and didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Aunt Qiongying, who nodded solemnly at him. What two clever women! They seemed to understand each other perfectly. Wudi wasn't a fool, of course. He knew Liqing was saying goodbye to her past self, and also commemorating her former husband, Yongqing. He poured himself a large bowl of strong liquor and drank it all in one gulp. Then he grabbed his wife, Liqing, and forcefully tore off her magnificent queenly attire. Soon, Liqing was completely naked. Wudi began to spank her buttocks and pinch her breasts. Liqing remained silent, enduring his abuse. Wudi then used a water-soaked riding crop to whip her back, thighs, and arms. Liqing's body was soon covered in blood and gore, her breasts and buttocks bruised and swollen. Wudi threw down the whip, embraced Liqing, and slowly kissed her entire body. Qiongying stared unblinkingly at the two of them, feeling her crotch begin to wet. Later, she joined in, gently kissing Liqing's body with Wudi. When they reached between Liqing's legs, she found it already overflowing with lustful fluids. Wudi raised his iron rod and began to fiercely fuck both Liqing and Qiongying. He had been waiting for this opportunity, and now he could finally fuck his two most beloved women together. In fact, he had this dream since he first met Liqing. Now he couldn't help but think: Heaven may have favored Zhu Yongqing, but it has also been kind to me, Lin Wudi. Lin Wudi, the Prince of Zhenbei, controlled a vast territory of the former Liao Kingdom, and now all the nomadic tribes in the north had submitted to the Ming Dynasty. Having no more enemies to conquer, he petitioned the Empress to train cavalry specifically for the Ming Dynasty, to be sent by the court to reinforce the Ming Dynasty's border troops stationed throughout the land. Empress Hu Sanniang, seeing that the vast grasslands to the north were indeed suitable for training cavalry, and given Wudi's own skill in archery and horsemanship, granted her son's request. Wudi had already trained 20,000 elite cavalry. Ten thousand of them were Mongols, exceptionally skilled in horsemanship. The other ten thousand were composed of Khitans, Jurchens, and Han Chinese. He also discovered and promoted two young generals, both Mongols. One was named Jebe, twenty-five years old, a superb archer, wrestler, and swordsman. He had studied martial arts under Queen Chen Liqing and served as her personal bodyguard for over a year. Seeing his potential, Liqing, fearing it would hinder his future, sent him back to Wudi's army. The other was named Subutai, only twenty-three years old. He was resolute, calm, and a potential general. Wudi had personally discovered him from among the lower-ranking soldiers. Wudi planned to send these two, along with the 20,000 cavalry, to his sister Wushuang to support her upcoming campaign against Khwarazm. Qiongying was leaving for Tokyo in a day, and Wudi was reluctant to let her go. That night, the two embraced passionately. Qiongying blushed and whispered a few words in Wudi's ear, which excited him greatly. That day, Qiongying had watched Wudi whip and torture Liqing from beginning to end, and she was itching with desire, wanting Wudi to beat her as well. Wudi loved Aunt Qiongying like his own mother; how could he have imagined she harbored such thoughts? Qiongying had no choice but to speak up herself. Although Wudi had been rough with Qiongying before, he had never considered torturing her. This particular fetish of Qiongying's stemmed from her time during the conquest of Western Xia, when she was captured and raped by Wang Ping, the Western Xia prince consort. Besides Wang Ping and his wife, only her disciple Wushuang knew this secret. She had long yearned to be severely humiliated and abused by Wudi. That night, Wudi fulfilled his beloved Aunt Qiongying's request, whipping and torturing her severely before having sex with her. Qiongying cried loudly after being beaten, her voice becoming hoarse. The next day, Qiongying was in so much pain she couldn't get out of bed and had to postpone her trip. Wudi simply let her stay for another ten days or so until she recovered before sending her away. This day was a day of great joy for the entire Western Regions. Empress Hu Sanniang, the founding empress of the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict to marry her daughter, Zhenxi Prince Lin Wushuang, to Xu Sheng, the son of Xu Ning, the former leader of Liangshan Marsh. Xu Sheng had rendered great service in protecting Zhenxi Prince and killing the evil monk Gushi during the suppression of the Tubo rebellion, and had been appointed by Her Majesty the Empress as the Grand General of Pingxi of the Ming Dynasty, subordinate to Zhenxi Prince. His father, Xu Ning, was also posthumously granted the title of Marquis Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty. The Empress also made a special exception, officially bestowing upon Xu Ning's daughter, Xu Sheng's sister Xu Huiniang, the title of Princess Consort of Hu Cheng, the elder brother of Prince Rende. Strictly speaking, this is a bit complicated. Since Wushuang was Hu Cheng's niece, she should logically address Xu Huiniang as her aunt, making her elder sister Xu Huiniang an elder to her brother Xu Sheng. However, the Ming Dynasty encompassed the former Liao, Xia, Jin, and Song dynasties, and such matters were commonplace in the Liao, Xia, and Jin capitals. Encouraged by the court, intermarriage between different ethnic groups was widespread, and under this influence, even the Han people were no longer surprised. Wushuang was not yet thirty years old, and this was her third marriage. She was not yet fifteen when she married Xiao Wanzhong, the Liao general guarding Shuozhou. After Xiao Wanzhong's death, she married his son, Xiao Tianlong, to stabilize the situation in Shuozhou. Both marriages were voluntary sacrifices she made to support and maintain her mother's great cause. Although she didn't marry the men she loved, she still enjoyed the pleasure of being caressed, conquered, and even humiliated and abused by men. Now, she genuinely loved Xu Sheng, and the two were inseparable, unwilling to be apart for even a day. Originally, Hu Sanniang wanted to bring her daughter to Tokyo to personally hold a wedding for her, but unfortunately, Wushuang was already pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to travel far. Fortunately, her father Lin Chong was by her side, and her brother Lin Wudi also came, which filled Wushuang's heart with warmth. The most eye-catching thing about this wedding was that, in addition to Wushuang, there was another bride: Her Majesty the Empress bestowed Luan Ying upon Xu Sheng. What kind of woman could share a husband with the powerful Prince of Zhenxi? This was an unprecedented and rare occurrence. Luan Ying's name quickly spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and she became an idol in the hearts of countless young women and wives. Recalling the scene of Xu Sheng removing the poison from Wushuang, Luan Ying couldn't help but blush and her heart pounded. She had been guarding Wushuang's bedside at that time. Every time Xu Sheng inserted his erect penis into Wushuang's body, Luan Ying would close her eyes, as if her own body was enduring Xu Sheng's lust. She would also moan loudly in rhythm with Xu Sheng and Wushuang, and a large amount of lustful fluid would flow between her legs. Luan Ying had always been Wu Shuang's most trusted confidante and most beloved younger sister. Xu Sheng was someone she discovered and sent to Wu Shuang's side as her personal bodyguard. She had been promoted by the Prince of Zhenxi to the position of Garrison Commander of the Western Regions, succeeding Li Zhongxia. Her younger brother, Luan Yong, had been appointed as the garrison commander of Luoxie City and the military commander. Unfortunately, their father, Luan Tingyu, and mother, Lady Le, were old and ill and unable to attend the grand ceremony. Lin Chong had been staying at Wu Shuang's palace to accompany his daughter. After dealing with matters at Lingjiu Palace, he began to grow his hair back and return to secular life, preparing to return to Dongjing to meet Hu Sanniang. Upon learning of Wu Shuang's pregnancy, he decided to stay and attend the weddings of his two daughters and his disciple. The date of his meeting with Sanniang had to be postponed again. Lin Chong was now standing between his two beautiful daughters, Wu Shuang and Luan Ying, smiling broadly as he received congratulations from the Tibetan civil and military officials and dignitaries. Xu Sheng stood by, serving. It was a pity that Sanniang was not there. Luan Ying nestled shyly in her adoptive father's arms, unable to hide her joy. It was Lin Chong's idea to have Xu Sheng marry both women simultaneously. He mentioned this in a secret letter to San Niang, naturally speaking highly of his apprentice, Xu Sheng. Unexpectedly, San Niang strongly supported this, and the learned scholars in the court had no objections. San Niang was relieved after finding Lin Chong and eagerly awaited his return to Tokyo to reunite with her. She still had many questions to ask him. Prince Zhenbei, Lin Wudi, hadn't expected to see his father, Lin Chong, whom he hadn't seen for over ten years. Wudi was tall and strong, and dressed in the attire of the Prince of Zhenbei, Lin Chong almost didn't recognize him. Also paying their respects to their father were the sisters, Princess Hu Yanqiong and Hu Yanling. Queen Chen Liqing had gone to Tokyo to visit her father, Chen Xizhen, who was seriously ill, and did not come with Wudi. Another princess, Mingyue, also lived in Tokyo, accompanying her father Zhao Huan (the former emperor of the Song Dynasty) and grandfather Zhao Ji (the retired emperor). Lin Chong smiled and presented the gifts Wushuang had prepared for him to the Huyan sisters, who knelt down to thank their father-in-law. Huyan Qiong, being older, had met Lin Chong when she was a child. Lin Chong also vaguely remembered her and greeted her with greetings to his old acquaintance, Huyan Zhuo. Huyan Ling had heard her father mention Lin Chong many times when she was young, praising him for his loyalty and exceptional martial arts skills. She stared curiously at the legendary man before her: this was the man even Her Majesty the Empress admired! Jebe and Subutai, along with Wudi, paid their respects to their new patron, the Prince of Zhenxi, Lin Wushuang. They had come with the 20,000 elite cavalrymen they had trained. If all went well, they would serve as cavalry commanders alongside the Prince of Zhenxi on his expedition to conquer the distant Khwarazmian Empire. The two young and ambitious men had only truly admired Lin Wudi and his wife, Chen Liqing, before this. Upon seeing Wushuang today, they felt an overwhelming imperial majesty emanating from her, as if pressing down on them, making them unable to lift their heads. Wushuang was a master at commanding elite troops. She immediately recognized that these two young men were extraordinary, promising talents. She encouraged them, hoping they would one day achieve unparalleled feats for the Empress and the Ming Dynasty. To Zhebie and Subutai's surprise, upon returning to their camp, they received a gift from the Prince of Zhenxi: two stunningly beautiful women! Zhebie and Subutai were moved to tears: the Prince of Zhenxi was truly a rare and precious man.What a rare and wonderful ruler! They all wished they could immediately rush to her aid. These two beautiful women were Saiya, the new wife of the Tusang chieftain, and his daughter (Kana, wife of Li Zhongxia). They were both originally sentenced to death for their involvement in the rebellion. It was Luan Ying who pleaded with the Prince of Zhenxi to spare their lives. Saiya was given to Jebe by the Prince of Zhenxi, and Kana to Subutai. Now they were both freed from their criminal status; this was the best outcome they could hope for. Wudi, accompanied by his brother-in-law, General Xu Sheng, went to the training ground to inspect the 20,000 cavalry he had trained. Because of his status as the Prince of Zhenbei and Wushuang's brother, he addressed Xu Sheng as his elder brother. In fact, Xu Sheng was a few months older than both him and Wushuang. Wudi hadn't liked Wushuang's previous two husbands, feeling that marrying them was a disservice to his beautiful sister. He knew it was a self-sacrifice Wushuang made for her mother's cause, and he felt sorry for her but there was nothing he could do. Xu Sheng, however, was quite to his liking. He was straightforward, handsome, and imposing—a good match for his sister. Wudi and he got along very well. After a sparring match, Xu Sheng was completely impressed by Wudi's skills. Wudi had become the King of Liao at a young age, so he didn't have many opportunities to personally fight on the battlefield. But Xu Sheng remembered his master, Lin Chong, saying, "My disciple, although your martial arts are highly accomplished, you are still slightly inferior to Chang Sheng Gong Hua Fengchun and Zhenbei Wang Lin Wudi. You can ask them for guidance when you meet them in the future." Xu Sheng demonstrated his signature hook-and-sickle spear to Wudi and asked for his instruction. Wudi observed, "Brother, your hook-and-sickle spear seems to be specifically designed for infantry to counter cavalry. If trained properly, it will surely become the nemesis of cavalry. You can suggest to the Prince of Zhenxi that he specifically allocate 20,000 infantrymen to teach them to use this hook-and-sickle spear. Perhaps they can achieve great merit on the battlefield against Khwarazm." Xu Sheng replied, "Brother is right. I also heard from my master that my late father used this hook-and-sickle spear to defeat the heavily armored linked cavalry. I've heard that Khwarazm is famous for its fine horses, and their cavalry must be extremely powerful. If we have well-trained hook-and-sickle spearmen, coupled with our army's artillery advantage, we will surely be able to defeat the enemy." The two discussed many details and prepared to propose training hook-and-sickle spear infantry to the Prince of Zhenxi upon their return. Recently, Xu Sheng had not only been blessed with romantic encounters but also enjoyed great success in his official career. He was almost blinded by wealth and glory and his two beautiful and alluring wives. However, he was not a frivolous person and quickly came to his senses. Many in the court envy and are jealous of him, but those who truly admire him are few and far between. He must work even harder to make great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, so as to repay his master's cultivation, the Empress's grace, and the deep affection of his two beloved wives. The Prince of Zhenxi was overjoyed upon hearing the advice of her brother Wudi and husband Xu Sheng. She immediately issued an edict to select 20,000 infantrymen and place them under the command of General Xu Sheng, who would then teach and train them in the hook-and-sickle spear technique. Wushuang took meticulous care of her father, Lin Chong, arranging for him to live in her palace. From getting up, washing, and dressing to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he was meticulously served by her assigned personal maids. Every night before bed, a beautiful maid would serve him a fragrant bath and massage his entire body to relieve the day's fatigue. Lin Chong once complained to Wushuang, "You're spoiling your father into a foolish emperor." Wushuang simply smiled and remained silent. That day, Guan Sheng, an old friend from Liangshan, came to visit. Guan Sheng's two sons were both generals under Wu Shuang. Lin Chong and Guan Sheng reminisced and chatted happily. At dinner, Lin Chong drank heartily and became very drunk. He was helped back to his room by a maid to sleep. In the middle of the night, Lin Chong woke up to find a naked woman embracing and kissing him. Lin Chong deduced that this woman must have been sent by Wu Shuang: "That girl Wu Shuang is too much!" Suddenly, Lin Chong froze, for he smelled that long-lost fragrance. He stammered, "Are you...San Niang?" The answer was San Niang's hot red lips pressed against his face. Lin Chong swallowed hard, reaching out to embrace San Niang, but his body trembled uncontrollably. San Niang cried out and threw herself into his arms. Soon, their bodies were intertwined, tears and sweat mingling, moans echoing. It turned out that Empress Hu San Niang was impatient to see Lin Chong in Dongjing. She appointed Left Chancellor Wu Wenjin to oversee the court and Prince Yingwu Qiongying to serve as regent. She herself hurriedly packed her belongings, disguised herself as a merchant, and headed to Tibet with her entourage. Fortunately, since its founding, the Ming Dynasty had enjoyed favorable weather and peace, and the people lived in prosperity. With elite imperial guards in plain clothes protecting her, and traveling in secrecy, the Empress's safety along the way should be assured. She secretly met with her daughter, Wushuang, during the day, instructing her to keep it a secret from her father so she could surprise him that evening. She and Lin Chong, separated for so long, were like newlyweds, spending a long and passionate night together before finally falling asleep. The next day, even at dawn, San Niang and Lin Chong were still embracing in bed, whispering sweet nothings. The maids, having been instructed by Wushuang not to disturb them, asked Lin Chong why he hadn't come to see her and why he had decided to become a monk. Lin Chong blushed and stammered for a while before finally revealing the truth. It turned out that besides fulfilling Master Huijue's important task of cleaning up the sect, there was another hidden reason. When San Niang went to the Liao Kingdom to conquer the land, Lin Chong was deeply worried about her. He devoted himself day and night to practicing the Buddhist techniques taught by Master Huijue, hoping to cure his hemoptysis as soon as possible so he could help San Niang achieve her goals. Heaven rewards the diligent; he cured his chronic illness in just three and a half years, a year and a half ahead of schedule. At this time, San Niang was on a diplomatic mission to the Jin Kingdom as the Grand Marshal of the Liao Kingdom. The Jin Emperor, Wanyan Ming, coveted her beauty and imprisoned her in the Jin capital. Lin Chong was frantic upon learning this. He planned to infiltrate the Jin Kingdom, use his superior martial arts to kill Wanyan Ming, and help San Niang escape back to the Liao Kingdom amidst the chaos. However, before he could even contact San Niang, news spread that she was to marry Wanyan Ming and become his empress. Lin Chong deeply loved his sister San Niang, and he would have tacitly approved of her relationships with other men, as long as San Niang was happy. However, San Niang's marriage to Wanyan Ming saddened and angered Lin Chong. This was because Wanyan Ming was young and handsome, and an ambitious emperor of the Jin Dynasty; perhaps he truly could unify the world. Lin Chong asked himself: Could Wanyan Ming be San Niang's destined one? Compared to Wanyan Ming, Lin Chong felt unworthy of San Niang. His heart was filled with sorrow, bitterness, and a deep ache. On the day of Wanyan Ming and San Niang's wedding, Lin Chong successfully infiltrated the palace, hiding on the roof of the emperor's bedchamber. That night, he lifted a tile and witnessed Wanyan Ming's frenzied sexual assault on his beloved San Niang. As he watched, Lin Chong was consumed by jealousy. Every thrust of Wanyan Ming's massive member into San Niang's body, and every pleasurable moan from her, tore at Lin Chong's heart. Several times he considered killing Wanyan Ming. But the thought that San Niang might truly love Wanyan Ming filled him with unbearable sorrow. How could he bear to kill his sister's beloved and condemn her to a life of pain and heartbreak? In the end, he could only leave alone, filled with bitterness and helplessness. Back at the Liuhe Temple in Hangzhou, he was overcome with grief and contemplated suicide. Master Huijue, knowing Lin Chong was heartbroken, cared for him tenderly, offering constant guidance and encouragement until he regained his confidence. Later, Wanyan Ming died, and San Niang became the founding empress of the Ming Dynasty. Only then did Lin Chong realize that San Niang's marriage to the Jin emperor was a selfless act of saving her country and its people. He felt deeply ashamed for his shortsightedness in doubting San Niang's true feelings. Just as he was preparing to reunite with San Niang, Master Huijue fell critically ill. Grateful for everything Master Huijue had done for him, Lin Chong agreed to temporarily become a monk and go to Tibet to cleanse the sect of evil. Unexpectedly, the Tibetan chieftains and monks plotted treachery. The two extremely complex matters of cleaning up the sect and protecting his daughter, Wushuang, became intertwined. Lin Chong spent several years in Tibet investigating the secrets of Lingjiu Palace and the rebels' conspiracy. Only now had he been reunited with San Niang. San Niang, upon hearing Lin Chong's words, remained silent for a long time, never imagining so many unexpected secrets. She was filled with lingering fear and couldn't help but blame herself for not explaining many things to Lin Chong. If the Jin emperor, Wanyan Ming, had died at Lin Chong's hands that day, her meticulously planned scheme would have been thwarted, and countless people would have perished in the war. Fortunately, Heaven had protected her, and her brother Lin Chong hadn't acted impulsively. Now, finally reunited, San Niang embraced Lin Chong, tears streaming down her face. The two laughed and cried, and later, they rekindled their passionate lovemaking for a long time. Just as Lin Chong and San Niang were about to get up, they suddenly felt someone else on the bed. Looking closely, they saw it was Wushuang. She slipped between Third Sister and Lin Chong, hugging her father with one arm and her mother with the other, and said, "Your daughter comes to congratulate you, Father and Mother."Marrying her off would be too much of a disservice to his beautiful sister. He knew it was a self-sacrifice Wushuang made for her mother's cause, and he felt sorry for her but there was nothing he could do. Now, this Xu Sheng was much to his liking. He was straightforward, handsome, and imposing—a perfect match for his sister. Wudi and he got along very well. After a sparring match, Xu Sheng was completely impressed by Wudi's skills.

From getting up, washing, and dressing to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he was meticulously served by her assigned personal maids. Every night before bed, a beautiful maid would serve him a fragrant bath and massage his entire body to relieve the day's fatigue. Lin Chong once complained to Wushuang, "You're spoiling your father into a foolish emperor." Wushuang simply smiled and remained silent. That day, Guan Sheng, an old friend from Liangshan, came to visit. Guan Sheng's two sons were both generals under Wu Shuang. Lin Chong and Guan Sheng reminisced and chatted happily. At dinner, Lin Chong drank heartily and became very drunk. He was helped back to his room by a maid to sleep. In the middle of the night, Lin Chong woke up to find a naked woman embracing and kissing him. Lin Chong deduced that this woman must have been sent by Wu Shuang: "That girl Wu Shuang is too much!" Suddenly, Lin Chong froze, for he smelled that long-lost fragrance. He stammered, "Are you...San Niang?" The answer was San Niang's hot red lips pressed against his face. Lin Chong swallowed hard, reaching out to embrace San Niang, but his body trembled uncontrollably. San Niang cried out and threw herself into his arms. Soon, their bodies were intertwined, tears and sweat mingling, moans echoing. It turned out that Empress Hu San Niang was impatient to see Lin Chong in Dongjing. She appointed Left Chancellor Wu Wenjin to oversee the court, and Prince Yingwu Qiongying to serve as regent. She herself hurriedly packed her belongings, disguised herself as a merchant, and headed to Tibet with her entourage. Fortunately, since its founding, the Ming Dynasty had enjoyed favorable weather and peace, and the people lived in prosperity. With elite imperial guards in plain clothes protecting her, and traveling in secrecy, the Empress's safety along the way should be assured. She secretly met with her daughter, Wushuang, during the day, instructing her to keep it a secret from her father so she could surprise him that evening. She and Lin Chong, separated for so long, were like newlyweds, spending a long and passionate night together before finally falling asleep. The next day, even at dawn, San Niang and Lin Chong were still embracing in bed, whispering sweet nothings. The maids, having been instructed by Wushuang not to disturb them, asked Lin Chong why he hadn't come to see her and why he had decided to become a monk. Lin Chong blushed and stammered for a while before finally revealing the truth. It turned out that besides fulfilling Master Huijue's important task of cleaning up the sect, there was another hidden reason. When San Niang went to the Liao Kingdom to conquer the land, Lin Chong was deeply worried about her. He devoted himself day and night to practicing the Buddhist techniques taught by Master Huijue, hoping to cure his hemoptysis as soon as possible so he could help San Niang achieve her goals. Heaven rewards the diligent; he cured his chronic illness in just three and a half years, a year and a half ahead of schedule. At this time, San Niang was on a diplomatic mission to the Jin Kingdom as the Grand Marshal of the Liao Kingdom. The Jin Emperor, Wanyan Ming, coveted her beauty and imprisoned her in the Jin capital. Lin Chong was frantic upon learning this. He planned to infiltrate the Jin Kingdom, use his superior martial arts to kill Wanyan Ming, and help San Niang escape back to the Liao Kingdom amidst the chaos. However, before he could even contact San Niang, news spread that she was to marry Wanyan Ming and become his empress. Lin Chong deeply loved his sister San Niang, and he would have tacitly approved of her relationships with other men, as long as San Niang was happy. However, San Niang's marriage to Wanyan Ming saddened and angered Lin Chong. This was because Wanyan Ming was young and handsome, and an ambitious emperor of the Jin Dynasty; perhaps he truly could unify the world. Lin Chong asked himself: Could Wanyan Ming be San Niang's destined one? Compared to Wanyan Ming, Lin Chong felt unworthy of San Niang. His heart was filled with sorrow, bitterness, and a deep ache. On the day of Wanyan Ming and San Niang's wedding, Lin Chong successfully infiltrated the palace, hiding on the roof of the emperor's bedchamber. That night, he lifted a tile and witnessed Wanyan Ming's frenzied sexual assault on his beloved San Niang. As he watched, Lin Chong was consumed by jealousy. Every thrust of Wanyan Ming's massive member into San Niang's body, and every pleasurable moan from her, tore at Lin Chong's heart. Several times he considered killing Wanyan Ming. But the thought that San Niang might truly love Wanyan Ming filled him with unbearable sorrow. How could he bear to kill his sister's beloved and condemn her to a life of pain and heartbreak? In the end, he could only leave alone, filled with bitterness and helplessness. Back at the Liuhe Temple in Hangzhou, he was overcome with grief and contemplated suicide. Master Huijue, knowing Lin Chong was heartbroken, cared for him tenderly, offering constant guidance and encouragement until he regained his confidence. Later, Wanyan Ming died, and San Niang became the founding empress of the Ming Dynasty. Only then did Lin Chong realize that San Niang's marriage to the Jin emperor was a selfless act of saving her country and its people. He felt deeply ashamed for his shortsightedness in doubting San Niang's true feelings. Just as he was preparing to reunite with San Niang, Master Huijue fell critically ill. Grateful for everything Master Huijue had done for him, Lin Chong agreed to temporarily become a monk and go to Tibet to cleanse the sect of evil. Unexpectedly, the Tibetan chieftains and monks plotted treachery. The two extremely complex matters of cleaning up the sect and protecting his daughter, Wushuang, became intertwined. Lin Chong spent several years in Tibet investigating the secrets of Lingjiu Palace and the rebels' conspiracy. Only now had he been reunited with San Niang. San Niang, upon hearing Lin Chong's words, remained silent for a long time, never imagining so many unexpected secrets. She was filled with lingering fear and couldn't help but blame herself for not explaining many things to Lin Chong. If the Jin emperor, Wanyan Ming, had died at Lin Chong's hands that day, her meticulously planned scheme would have been thwarted, and countless people would have perished in the war. Fortunately, Heaven had protected her, and her brother Lin Chong hadn't acted impulsively. Now, finally reunited, San Niang embraced Lin Chong, tears streaming down her face. The two laughed and cried, and later, they rekindled their passionate lovemaking for a long time. Just as Lin Chong and San Niang were about to get up, they suddenly felt someone else on the bed. Looking closely, they saw it was Wushuang. She slipped between Third Sister and Lin Chong, hugging her father with one arm and her mother with the other, and said, "Your daughter comes to congratulate you, Father and Mother."His charming wife was completely infatuated with him. However, he was not a frivolous man and quickly came to his senses. Many in the court envied and were jealous of him, but those who truly admired him were few and far between. He himself had to work doubly hard to achieve great merit for the Ming Dynasty, so as to repay his master's cultivation, the Empress's grace, and the deep affection of his two wives. The Prince of Zhenxi was overjoyed upon hearing the advice of her brother Wudi and husband Xu Sheng. She immediately issued an edict to select 20,000 infantrymen and place them under the command of General Xu Sheng, who would then teach and train them in the hook-and-sickle spear technique. Wushuang took meticulous care of her father, Lin Chong, arranging for him to live in her palace.

The two laughed and cried, and later they were engrossed in passionate lovemaking for a long time. Just as Lin Chong and San Niang were about to get up, they suddenly felt someone else on the bed. Looking closely, they saw Wu Shuang. She nestled between San Niang and Lin Chong, holding her father in one arm and her mother in the other, and said, "Your daughter comes to congratulate you, Father and Mother."
After their passionate encounter, both San Niang and Lin Chong were completely naked, their bodies still damp with sweat, their faces flushed with embarrassment at Wu Shuang's presence. However, Wu Shuang's arrival reminded them of the happy days years ago when their family of four lived in seclusion outside Hangzhou, filling them with warmth. Seeing that Wu Shuang was only covered by a thin veil, her mature and alluring body fully exposed, her nipples and pubic hair peeking out, San Niang slapped her on the bottom and scolded, "You're so old and still don't know shame! Get out of here, your father and I should get up too."
Wu Shuang laughed heartily, first kissing her father on the cheek, then cupping her mother's breasts and sucking on her red nipples, before laughing and getting out of bed. At this moment, Wu Shuang was nothing like the dignified Prince Zhenxi before his subjects. Last night, Lin Chong and Hu San Niang had made quite a racket in bed, and Wu Shuang was curious. She couldn't resist sneaking over and eavesdropping outside the door for a while before going back to sleep. San Niang tried to get up from the bed, but Lin Chong held her down. San Niang glanced at his crotch and saw his erection, exclaiming, "Why are you so eager?" Lin Chong, having been seduced by his daughter's body, knew his own predicament. Without answering, he parted San Niang's legs and thrust his member in with a soft "plop." San Niang cried out in pleasure, and another passionate encounter ensued. Finally, under San Niang's persistent questioning, Lin Chong revealed the extra benefits of practicing that Buddhist technique. San Niang was overjoyed and embraced her Lin Chong brother, showering him with kisses. Lin Chong was unaware that San Niang was dreaming: "Since Brother Lin Chong is so capable, I'll definitely bring all my good sisters with me! Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all lived together!" San Niang suddenly remembered Ruan Wenjun's background and asked Lin Chong about it. As expected, Ruan Wenjun was indeed the daughter of San Niang's maternal uncle. Lin Chong had even taught her the Lin family's ancestral spear technique when she was young. Lin Chong was happy to learn that San Niang still had relatives alive. That evening, the Prince of Zhenxi held a family banquet at his palace. Lin Chong, along with his son-in-law and apprentice, General Xu Sheng, came to pay their respects to Her Majesty the Empress. To Xu Sheng, this legendary beauty of the Ming Dynasty had three identities: she was the supreme Empress, the kind and gentle mother-in-law, and the mature and alluring teacher's wife. Upon seeing San Niang, Xu Sheng secretly admired her, saying, "She is so beautiful and alluring; no wonder she could give birth to a daughter like the Prince of Zhenxi." Luan Ying, who had come with them, had already rushed over and embraced San Niang. San Niang stroked Luan Ying's chest and whispered in her ear, "You've grown so much in just one year." Luan Ying's face immediately turned red, and she buried her head in San Niang's arms. Third Sister smiled and said to Xu Sheng, "My daughter is too headstrong, but fortunately, there's this gentle and kind Miss Luan. If you ever suffer at Wushuang's hands, come to me, and I'll stand up for you. But you mustn't bully Miss Luan." Xu Sheng quickly bowed and agreed, while Luan Ying was too shy to look up at him. At this moment, Wudi arrived with the sisters Hu Yanqiong and Hu Yanling, along with Wushuang's daughter Xiao Tianfeng and son Xiao Tianying, who were also led in by the maids. Xiao Tianfeng was already thirteen years old and as beautiful as her mother Wushuang was when she was young. Xiao Tianying was only seven or eight years old, still a chubby-cheeked little boy. The two siblings were each held in the arms of the Hu Yan sisters. The family chatted and shared their affection, enjoying each other's company. To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next installment. [Last edited by Forgot Time]
