The Seventh Chapter of the Demonic Shadows
As dawn broke and the sun rose, its golden rays bathed the imperial capital of Chang'an in a golden glow. The East and West Markets within the city were already open for business. This place had always been a gathering place for wealthy merchants, and many traders from all over the world, who had come along the Silk Road, were still purchasing goods in these two markets. Among the most popular items were ivory, sandalwood, pearls, brocade, and tortoiseshell mirrors.
The streets of the capital were wide and clean, lined with towering buildings. The buildings all around were magnificent, luxurious, and solemn, exuding an aura of imperial grandeur that slowly crept into everyone's heart.
To the west of the two cities lies Pingkang Ward, which is under the jurisdiction of Wannian County. Its northwest corner is conveniently located close to the imperial city.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many princes, ministers, and high-ranking officials have lived here. This is because the area is close to the East Market and the East Gate, and from north to south, it became a gathering place for prostitutes and the location of the famous "fangqu" (brothels) of the royal city. As a result, Pingkang Ward was even more bustling.
Teahouses and taverns are everywhere in this area; brothels and pleasure quarters are even more numerous, with one every five steps and another every ten steps. All night long, the place is filled with the sounds of music and singing, and the locals call it a "hotbed of romance".
The residence of Prince Dejing, Wu Sansi, was located at the north end of Pingkang Ward. His building was as luxurious as a palace, with soaring eaves, painted beams and carved pillars, gilded doors and windows, and white jade ornaments. It was a place of immense labor and extreme extravagance.
At this moment, the golden sun shone brightly through the window, and within the embroidered curtains, the powerful Prince Dejing remained fast asleep, embracing a beautiful woman. This high-ranking official, holding the rank of First-Class Minister, didn't even attend the morning court session, truly disregarding the emperor. Just as he was lost in his slumber, a melodious, rebuking voice rang out from outside the room: "What? Even I, the princess, can't enter? You're courting death!"
A pitiful-looking woman said, "Princess...it's...it's the Prince's orders that no one should disturb us, this servant really..."
Wu Sansi was jolted awake by the noise outside the door. Just as he was about to lash out, he heard the word "Princess" and knew that Princess Anle had arrived. His thick eyebrows furrowed, and he said loudly, "Let the princess in." As soon as he finished speaking, a person entered the room. Upon closer inspection, he saw a charming and beautiful woman with stunning looks. She was staring at the two people on the bed with her bright, clear eyes.
She appeared to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender figure. She wore a dress made of cicada feathers and a belt with a dragon pattern around her waist. Her pair of full and firm breasts were partially exposed on her low-cut satin dress from the Tang Dynasty, making her skin appear even more translucent and alluring.
Princess Anle, seeing her father-in-law before her, couldn't help but glare at him with anger, and said coquettishly, "Well, you can't even go a day without a woman! The sun is high in the sky, and you're still embracing a woman, lost in your own world. Do you even know the trouble that's caused in the palace?" Ever since she married Wu Sansi's son, Wu Chongxun, not only had her willful temper remained unchanged, but it had become even more outrageous. In her eyes, apart from her mother, Empress Wei, she could say she never respected anyone, not even the current emperor, let alone her father-in-law before her.
Although Wu Sansi wielded immense power in the court, he still tolerated this unruly princess to some extent. It wasn't that he was afraid of her, but rather that he found her quite useful. When she mentioned that something major had happened in the palace, he was startled and quickly stood up, patting the naked beauty beside him and urging her to leave first.
The beautiful woman was Yingxue, Wu Sansi's sixth concubine. Because of her delicate appearance and skillful seduction, she was usually favored by Wu Sansi. However, in front of this beautiful princess, she naturally felt inferior. Now that Wu Sansi told her to leave, she dared not utter a word and hurriedly put on her clothes and left the room.
After Yingxue left, Wu Sansi asked Princess Anle, "What important matter is it?"
Princess Anle came to him in a few steps, her eyes already brimming with tears, and said, "You only know how to play with women, and you don't care about your daughter-in-law's life or death. Father... he made Li Chongjun the crown prince this morning."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sansi was taken aback at first. Then, his large eyes rolled around in their sockets a few times before he shook his head and said, "I thought His Majesty was just saying it casually, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously. How could His Majesty not even inform this old man of such a big matter!"
Princess Anle listened, tears streaming down her face. She stamped her foot and said, "It's just that Fourth Uncle and Aunt Taiping, who keep nagging Father about establishing a crown prince. They say it's related to the stability of the court and can't be taken lightly. Can you believe how infuriating that is?"
The matter of the Emperor's selection of a Crown Prince has been the talk of the town in the imperial court and the inner palace for some time now. Li Chongjun was born to a concubine, and when Empress Wei heard about it, she wanted to intervene, but her only son, Li Chongrun, had been killed by Empress Wu Zetian a few years earlier, leaving her speechless. Princess Anle, however, was different. She had always been favored by her parents and was Empress Wei's legitimate daughter. In her heart, she believed that since her brother was dead, she should be the Crown Prince. If women couldn't be Crown Prince, why was her grandmother, Empress Wu Zetian, allowed to be one?
In fact, her father, Emperor Zhongzong, had also considered agreeing to her request, so he asked Wei Yuanzhong, the Grand Chancellor, "I want to make Princess Anle the Crown Princess. Do you think that's feasible?"
However, Wei Yuanzhong shook his head and said, "It is unprecedented for a princess to become the crown princess. Moreover, if she really becomes the crown princess, how can the imperial son-in-law address her? This old minister believes that is unacceptable." After hearing this, Emperor Zhongzong simply nodded and smiled.
When Princess Anle heard about this, she was furious and rushed to Emperor Zhongzong, yelling, "What kind of person is that Wei Yuanzhong? This foolish minister doesn't even think about it? Since the emperor is the mother of the emperor, why can't his granddaughter be the emperor as well?"
When Emperor Zhongzong saw his beloved daughter throwing a tantrum, he could only smile and say, "Let me think about it slowly, okay?" He then coaxed and persuaded her until Princess Anle calmed down a little.
Emperor Zhongzong had eight daughters, and his seventh daughter, Princess Anle, was not only exceptionally beautiful and stunningly intelligent, but also the apple of his eye. Emperor Zhongzong and Empress Wei doted on her immensely. There is an unforgettable story behind this exceptional daughter.
When Empress Wu Zetian was alive, she installed Emperor Zhongzong (Li Xian) as emperor. Her wife, Lady Wei, named Wei Xiang, was from Wannian County, Jingzhao Prefecture. Her grandfather, Wei Hongbiao, had served as a military officer in the Cao Prince's court during the reign of Emperor Taizong (Li Shimin). Her father, Wei Xuanzhen, was a low-ranking official, a military advisor in Puzhou. After Zhongzong ascended the throne, Wei Xuanzhen was promoted to Prefect of Yuzhou, a high-ranking local official of the fourth rank. However, Empress Wei was still not satisfied and demanded that Zhongzong transfer her father back to the capital to serve as a Grand Councilor. The position of Grand Councilor was equivalent to that of the Chancellor, the Grand Secretary, and the Minister of War. This time, however, things didn't go smoothly. Chancellor Pei Yan strongly opposed it, arguing that Wei Xuanzhen's sudden promotion without merit would be difficult to accept and would damage the court's prestige.
However, Li Xian, newly enthroned, lacked understanding of the times and the world, and was unaware of his own potential. Empress Wei, while undeniably beautiful, was also a woman who, even as a daughter, had been unruly. After marrying Li Xian, she had many men around her. She was shrewd, strong-willed, and loved to show off. Compared to the weak and incompetent Li Xian, she was overwhelmingly dominant, and Li Xian largely relied on her for decisions, big or small. When Empress Wei saw someone obstructing her, she flew into a rage, forgetting her powerful and ruthless mother-in-law, Wu Zetian. She constantly instigated her husband, saying, "As the emperor, do you need to listen to others' opinions to get a promotion?"
One morning at court, Pei Yan still insisted on disagreeing. The more Li Xian listened, the angrier he became. He thought that if he didn't show off his power in front of his subjects, how could he continue to be the emperor? So he angrily rebuked him: "You don't need to say anything more. Even if I were to give the whole country to Wei Xuanzhen, you would have no right to interfere, let alone a mere attendant."
裴炎见他说出这等蠢话儿，也不和他多辩，回身便到皇太后面前，一一说了。武则天是何许人，对李显的说话，自是知道是一时的气言，就是他想把天下送人，谅他也没这个本事。但她只是没想到，这个素来胆小如鼠的儿子，方当上皇帝便说出这种话来，要是翅膀再硬了点，今后便控制不易了，决不能掉以轻心，心里便起了废掉皇帝之意。
嗣圣元年二月初，武则天骤临朝堂大殿，召集百官群臣，宣布废皇帝为庐陵王，命朝臣将李显架下龙座。这回李显真个不知所措，结结巴巴的问道：“我……我到底有什么罪？”
武则天瞪了他一眼：“你不是要把江山送给人么？这就是你的罪！”李显无言以对，没想到这个宝座，才坐了两个月就丢了，还得个待罪之身，形同罪人。
不日，李显夫妇两人便被流放至均州，随即又被迁到房州去，途中一家人只有两辆旧破车，除了身上的衣服外，可谓一无所有。当时韦皇后早有身孕，抬着一个大肚子起程。押犯的差役，也不管你过去是王侯将相，只要你没有银两孝敬，便有得你吃苦。
李显前时虽是皇帝，但这些差役并不与你说这个，既然武后敢眨你，他们便敢收拾你。可是这对落难贵人，却不懂得掏出银两来考敬，一路之上，二人当真是受尽苦头。
一日，大清早便要起程赶路，行至中午，韦皇后忽地腹中疼痛，眼看分娩在即。但这时前不及村，后无山寨，李显见韦皇后痛得不成模样，便只好哀求那些差役：“王妃恐怕要生了，各位官爷就行行好，可否停留片刻？”
两个差役见着，不由眉头大皱，便气鼓鼓地道：“要生便快点儿，就给你两个时辰，若生不出来，咱们也等不来了，要是赶不到驿站，今晚何来吃住。”
李显听见，连忙点头道：“一定快，一定快……”
两个差役也不和他多说，兀自往一棵大树走去，一个差役笑道：“他说生便生，这话说得挺容易。”岂料说话方落，后面立时传出哌哌的哭声，众差役登时你望我眼，我望你眼。
李显虽是几个孩子的父亲，但贵为王子，这等事儿又如何亲手做过，立时忙了手脚，望着婴孩不知如何是好，还幸韦皇后坚强，用嘴咬断了脐带，便对李显道：“快点脱下衣服，把婴儿裹着。”李显听了，连忙脱衣裹婴，韦皇后抱着婴儿，便喂起奶来。
众差役看见他们动作如斯神速，当真疾如大便，也不禁诧异起来，围着嘀嘀咕咕的谈论着，莫非是山神照顾，要不生个娃娃，怎地会这么容易？一人道：“光是看这个，我敢打赌王爷必有后福，准没错的。”
另一人道：“你说得对，瞧来打后要好生对待他们才是，不然可要吃亏了。”
没过多时，李显便招唿他们上路，众差役连忙跑将前来，脸面登时变了样，笑道：“王爷也不用急，王妃刚分娩完毕，还是多休息好，要是用得着咱们什么，王爷尽管吩咐便是了。”
李显大感奇怪，一时也想不通什么道理来，便道：“今日仗各位大哥的福，一切还算顺利，要是今后还有好日子过，本王定当图报。”
众人听得这番说话，随即跪拜下来，齐声道：“谢王爷！”韦皇后在车上看见，不禁也笑起来。
一个差役问道：“不知是王爷还是公主呢？”
李显道：“是我的七女儿。”
那人连忙道：“原来是个公主，那太好了，不知有了名字没有？”
韦皇后在车上道：“不如便叫她裹儿罢，你说好么？”
李显捋须笑道：“好好，这名字可不错，大家认为是吗？”众人当然点头附和，李显又道：“裹儿一出生便逢凶化吉，看来这个女儿必会带来好运。”
果然，这个裹儿不但长得出色，一如李显所说，最后一家给武则天迎回宫中，李显还重登皇位，是为中宗。
武三思这时听见，心中暗自盘算，心想道：“李重俊这个小子素来与我不和，此刻他一朝得势，虽不致碍我大事，但始终是个隐忧，况且这小子又何德何能坐这个位子，老夫我若不把他扯下来，武家将来还有好路可行么！”便向安乐公主道：“好裹儿，不用伤心，你要知皇上向来胡涂，但李重俊这厮，总不能让他坐得平平稳稳的，妳大可放心是了，一切便包在我身上。说到外廷的朝臣，光凭我一句说话，他们怎敢不从，要把太子之位抢回来，可谓易如反掌。妳也回宫与娘说，多给你老爹压力，我就不相信不能把那厮拖下来。裹儿不要再哭了，妳老爷我也很
久没有爱妳了，过来我这里，待我今日好好把妳这个俏媳妇疼爱一番。”
裹儿小嘴一撅，瞪了他一眼道：“你就总喜欢这个，家公不似家公的，要了人家的母亲，连她的女儿也不放过。”
武三思淫笑道：“谁叫我这个儿媳妇长得又俏又可爱，现在我父子两人同时让妳快活，还说这等风凉话儿。”
裹儿纤腰一摆，便坐在榻缘道：“谁稀罕你这个大块头儿子，若不是阿母子要我嫁他，我才不要他呢。”这句说话，虽是半带着玩笑，然听在武三思耳里，总觉不是味道，不禁眉头轻轩，脸色一沉。裹儿看见，也知自己说得过了火，便朝他微微一笑，把一副曲线玲珑的娇驱，紧紧贴向他道：“不要嘛，你又不是不知，人家平日便爱开玩笑。可是你这个大块头儿子，今个儿一大清早，便气得人家半死不活，适才我方会这样说。”
武三思问道：“他又怎么了，小两口子就是爱吵嘴！”武三思伸手把他拥住，一只怪手缓缓在她身上游移，抚得裹儿浑身发软，慢慢倒在他怀中。
裹儿轻声喘道：“你……你这个好儿子，也不知人家气恼，当我对他说时，你道他说什么。他说我身为妇人家，怎可能去争什么皇太女，直是竹篮打水，白费心机，你说他可恶不可恶。”
武三思笑道：“这个小子就是爱浇冷水，妳也不用放在心下。”说着便开始扯下她的腰带，裹儿也不做作，干脆自己动起手来，不消片刻，便与武三思看齐，变得精光赤体。
武三思虽是年逾五十，却身壮体横，他自从加入苍穹门，拜天魔为师后，这二十多年来，内功也有相当底子，比之没练武前，还要精神几分。再说到玩女人方面，更是他的拿手伎俩，家中的妻妾不提，光是身旁的小媳妇裹儿，其母韦皇后，还有李显的小老婆上官婉儿，及一些后宫妃嫔，实不下十多人，而他所玩的女人，无一不是当世名花，宫中贵人，只要他想得到的，便能手到擒来。其实以他这副尊容，生得眉粗颧高，满脸胡茬，当真是威武有余，俊朗不足，却偏偏惹得群莺临门，任他鱼肉，说来还不是一件事。武三思此人，不但宝贝奇伟，且性力特强，
凡与他有过一手的女子，无一不是回味再三。现不说别人，便是这个刁蛮公主李裹儿，自一年前尝过他的滋味后，方发觉这个家公，竟然比他的儿子强上多少倍，也难怪连她的母亲，也为武三思痴迷难舍。
武三思轻轻把裹儿放在榻上，望着这具青春迷人的身躯，满是须髯的脸膛，探前从她颈边擦过，偎贴着她嫩如凝脂的俏脸。
裹儿被他粗硬的胡髯一刮，登时浑身一颤，闭起美目柔声道：“好人，我的好家公，妳媳妇儿受不了，不要再逗人家好吗？”
武三思像没听见般，并不理会她，只是更紧地贴住她。从她的面颊、鬓边，鸟发，一直嗅到她的耳朵，嗅着她散发出来的奇异芳香。这个媳妇果然教人勃然心动。他的手徐徐下移，滑到她的胸脯，明显地感到她心跳加促，大手再稍一移动，已经扪住了她那青春饱满的乳房。
“嗯……”裹儿绽出一声满足的轻吟，把胸部往上弓起，迎凑他恣情的触抚，口里却道：“你就是爱折磨人家，快嘛，裹儿已经好想要你了。”
武三思心下暗笑，忖道：“真个有其母必有其女，这个小淫妇，老夫今日若不把妳弄得喊死喊活，妳还不知道本爷的手段。”思念甫落，他的嘴唇开始吻向她下颚，徐徐下移，直来到她高耸的玉峰，接着用他那硬如毛刷的胡子，磨蹭着她殷红娇嫩的蓓蕾。
裹儿身子立时连连颤抖，那感觉直是痒到骨子里，只见她螓首后撑，小嘴不停半张半合。武三思一面挑逗，一面盯着这个美艳的媳妇，他愈看愈觉她娇美妩媚，五官可谓无处不美，在他见过众多的妃嫔美女中，除了上官婉儿外，这个刁蛮公主，也可算是最漂亮的一个。
这时的裹儿，再也难忍体内的骚动，但见她紧紧抱着武三思的脸颊，哀声求道：“我的好人，你再是这样弄裹儿，人家便要死了，求求你快点给裹儿吧。”
武三思笑道：“那有这么容易，我一张嘴还没尝够妳身子，谁叫妳一大清早便送上门来，破坏了妳家公的好梦。”
裹儿实在忍不住了，嗔道：“好，我求你不成，你以后休想我再和你一起。”
武三思笑道：“这是妳说的，到时妳不要后悔才好。”说着间，他再徐徐往下移，终于来到她早已甘露潺潺的所在，只见那儿肥美丰腴，花唇抖动，不禁看得情兴大动，当下凑头上去，忘情的吸吮起来。
裹儿被他这般一弄，直美得呻吟不断，加上他那粗硬的胡子，不停地刮刺着她的柔嫩，又教她如何受得来。裹儿顿觉满脑昏晕，花穴奇痒无比。武三思却兴致高扬，一条如蛇的灵舌，不住钻探窜动，弄得裹儿欲壑难填，腰臀狂摆如浪，口里不停呵呵喘气。
武三思也知她欲火难抑，便跪将起来，淫笑道：“我的好媳妇，妳已乐得够了，也该让我爽一回吧。”裹儿是个识趣之人，且自她回到京城之后，所见所闻，尽多男女淫亵之事，深受熏陶，在她还没嫁给武崇训之前，便已在宫中纵欲肆行，糜乱无度，不知狎玩了多少宫人护卫，对于如何取媚于男人，早已颇有心得。况且目下已被弄得欲火焚身，见武三思如此说着，便即撑身而起，提着他那壮硕粗长的宝贝，为他吹奏起来。
武三思低头望着这个美若天仙的儿媳妇，正自卖力地吞云吐雾，也不由欲火难歇，没待一曲奏完，便把裹儿推卧在榻。但见裹儿早便张脚以待，把个嫣红欲滴的花穴，全然展陈在他眼前，瞧得武三思口水狂吞，当下摆开架式，提抢上马，宝贝登时直闯深宫，只觉分身兄弟如投熔炉，内中温暖湿漉，且含箍得密密实实，间发不容，果然爽到极点，旋即拍马奔驰，提戟奋刺。
裹儿经他一阵疾闯，早就美得有口难言，捣得百来回，便已撑持不住，只觉眼前这个家公，实是个神勇将军，比他那无能儿子，也不知好上多少倍。武三思眼见她红晕盖脸，星眸微张，更添几分迷人娇艳，胸前一对玉峰，随着动作颠来倒去，着实美不胜收，倏感浑身受用，直把裹儿杀得片甲不留，让她也不知丢了多少回，直到她开声求饶，方勒缰不动。
裹儿休息良久，才缓缓平服下来，娇嗔道：“看你不要命的播弄，也不理人家死活，若是给你弄坏了，看你如何向儿子交代。”
武三思呵呵笑道：“妳便向他直说无妨，说是他老爹弄坏的好了。”
裹儿不知好气还是好笑，世上竟有这样的老爹，便笑道：“我才没你这般不要脸，还有我与你之事，万万不能说出口来，要是传到父皇知道，我没法做人事少，恐怕你这个脑袋也难保得住。”
武三思自是知道，也用不着她提点，但他最担心的，倒反而是这个韦皇后，皆因她深处后宫，出入不免受人猜疑，尤其是定安公主的丈夫王同皎，老是跟他作对，一想到这里，登时怒气打从一处来，便道：“就算妳我不说，难保妳姊姊定安公主的好夫婿不说，我又不是害了他全家，此人就是总爱和我抬杠，妳要是担心，便担心此人好了。”
裹儿听得柳眉紧蹙，说道：“是么，我怎地会不知道？”
武三思道：“还有很多事妳不知道，这个王同皎，身为附马都尉，如何说也算是一家人，但此子竟连岳母都要出卖，也不知他从那里探得消息，在外总是口没遮拦，四下说我和妳母亲坏话，要知一旦传到妳老爹耳中，到时我死了不打紧，但妳娘可就不同了，这个妳还是小心点儿。”
裹儿道：“这件事我会探个明白，倘若如你所言，我势必不会放过他。”话后便把小嘴贴近武三思的耳边，柔声轻道：“瞧来你还没得到满足，来吧，再好好爱一下你的媳妇儿。”
武三思笑道：“妳这个小淫妇，才一顺过气来，这么快又想要了。”
裹儿嗔道：“你说什么嘛，人家一心为你好，还取笑人家，要是不来便算了，让我起来回去。”便鼓着小嘴欲要起来，武三思自是知她耍性子，便即提枪轻刺，裹儿立时浑身骚爽，开始咿咿啊啊的不住呻吟。
武三思这回再次使出手段，但见他一边抽戳，一边把玩着她浑圆耸挺的玉峰，不时又把她转过身来，从后进击，百般轻狂，裹儿不但千依百顺，且兴致激昂，这样一弄，便弄至一个多时辰，二人方战罢离房。
正当二人走出大厅，便即看见一个灰衣老者，居中坐在大厅上。武三思连忙趋身而上，拜倒在地：“弟子不知师父光临，恕徒儿招待不周。”那人略一点头，示意他站起来。
原来此人正是天魔，自从他着了狄骥的道儿，果然不敢胡乱莽动，他也知道狄骥所言不虚，“火蝉腐骨散”是何等厉害的毒药，江湖中人每一提起此毒物，无不闻之丧胆。天魔匆匆敷上解药，望着狄骥抱着卓薇远去。如此呆站了一柱香时间，但脸上的炙热辛辣，不但没有消退下来，倒反而越益厉害，他心下大惊，难道这个小子给我的并非解药，暗自惶惧起来，当下从地上拾起包裹解药的纸张，探鼻嗅了一嗅，却发觉透着一股辛辣之味，心中不禁奇怪。他虽不是用毒名家，但纵横江湖数十年，多少也有点毒药的知识，但凡解药，多是性质温和，便是以毒攻毒
的解药，也不会和毒药药性相同。
天魔心想，“火蝉腐骨散”本质性烈，中毒之处如火烧般灼热，这种传闻，早便让江湖熟知，但手上这包解药，同样是辛辣无比，莫非这不是解药，而是“火蝉腐骨散”！他一想到这里，不禁背嵴一凉，冷汗潺潺而下。
然而，天魔虽是心中惴惴，一时却无法可施，只有期望狄骥并没有骗他，如此这般又过了半个时辰，发现脸上的热气已缓缓退却，也不像当初如此炙热，心下不由一宽，直到两个时辰之后，脸上的热气才尽数退去。但天魔仍不敢多动，恐防毒性未清，又待了半个多时辰，方敢提步走动。
天魔虽然剧毒尽去，但心头的怒火却无法抑制，这一趟羞辱，他立誓非要掏回来不可，早把狄骥恨入骨髓。其实他又那里得知，狄骥为人向来光明磊落，从不以毒害人，而他用在天魔身上的所谓毒药，只是一些寻常的辣椒粉末，而那些解药，自然也是相同之物。这种掩敌骇人的伎俩，凡是久历江湖中人，多有使用，只是各家各有不同，似虚似实，让人难以捉摸，这也可算是一种防身的奇兵武器。
武三思见师父骤然来到长安，也大为诧异，他知道天魔近这二十年来，从不离开位于毫州的苍穹门总坛，今次突然来此，想来必定另有原因，便问道：“不知师父今次远道前来，可有什么事情要辨呢？”
天魔并没有出声，抬眼望向武三思身旁的裹儿，武三思看见，自明白其意，说道：“我来为师父介绍，这位是安乐公主，乃是当今皇上的七女儿。”
天魔听着，也不禁眼睛一亮，他对这个皇帝的宠儿，近日早有耳闻，竟没料到她是一个如此可爱的美人儿，当即站起身来，拱手揖道：“小民拜见公主殿下。”
裹儿笑道：“师父不用多礼，本公主也曾听过前辈的大名，今日前辈既来到京城，也不用急着回去了，便多留几天吧。”
天魔见这个娃儿年纪轻轻，说起话来倒也头头是道，便道：“多谢公主的美意，其实老夫今次来长安，确有一事与三思相商，也打算多留几天。”
武三思喜道：“这便更好了，难得师父肯留下来，当真令徒儿大喜过望。”
话落便向站立一旁的下人道：“快给师父尽备房间，通知厨房摆下上宴，快快！”下人立即令命而去。武三思转向裹儿道：“难得师父光临，公主也留在敝府共宴如何？”
裹儿点头一笑，以示答允。
宴中，天魔向武三思道：“今趟为师重出江湖，除了要解决二十年前的一桩私事外，还有一事要告与你知，而此事对你可大有关连。”
Wu Sansi raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "Master, what exactly is it that concerns me?"
The Heavenly Demon slowly said, "Recently, rumors have been circulating in the martial arts world that you have been promiscuous in the palace, arrogant and willful, and endangering the country. I have also received reliable information that someone in the court has bribed martial arts masters to eliminate you. We have not yet found out who is behind this, but this matter has spread very widely in the martial arts world. The rumors are so convincing that they seem to be true. After receiving this information, I had no choice but to come here to inform you."
Upon hearing this, Wu Sansi was somewhat taken aback, but not particularly surprised, as there were quite a few people in the court who wanted him dead. However, Guo'er's reaction was quite different; her face immediately turned pale. What the Heavenly Demon had said was somewhat related to her, and her expression was clearly observed by the Heavenly Demon.
At this moment, Wu Sansi thought to himself, "My master must have come to Chang'an for some other reason. If it were just for this matter, he could have just sent a disciple of the Cangqiong Sect to inform him. Why would he need to come in person?" So he said, "I am deeply grateful for my master's concern. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will do my best to repay your great kindness."
Tianmo stroked his beard, thinking that he had indeed made the right choice in taking this disciple. With just one sentence, he understood his intentions. He smiled and said, "Good, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Have you heard of the Shadow Gang in recent years?" Wu Sansi nodded. Tianmo continued, "In the past two years, the Shadow Gang seems to have gained considerable popularity in the martial arts world, and its power has grown stronger and stronger. This gang was originally a small gang in the Yangtze River basin, but in the past two years, its influence has spread to both sides of the river, and it often opposes the officials. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing. Not only will it affect the livelihoods of both the righteous and the wicked in the martial arts world, but sooner or later, the local governments will also have to pay them homage!"
Wu Sansi asked, "Master means... that you want to contend with the Shadow Gang?"
The Heavenly Demon nodded and said, "That's right. I plan to expand the Cangqiong Sect's branches in various states and counties, and recruit more disciples. The two capitals, especially the East and West, are places I crave. I believe only you, Sansi, can help with this. If Luoyang and Chang'an are both under the control of our sect, the Cangqiong Sect will naturally take on the responsibility of protecting them. With me here, what blind madman would dare to touch a hair on your head? This way, we can not only benefit each other, but it will also greatly help you in your future career in the officialdom."
Wu Sansi pondered for a moment and found it quite reasonable. Moreover, he could use his master's hand to eliminate those troublemakers in the court, which would be entirely beneficial to him. He immediately said, "Alright! Leave this matter to me." Upon hearing this, Tianmo stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
