Luo Lie nodded and said, "Did Emperor Yongzheng really die by mistake?" He remembered the crystal coffin that they had seen in the cave and the golden head that fell out of it due to the crack of the crystal coffin. He always suspected that the headless corpse in the coffin was related to Emperor Yongzheng.

Lan Ximei shook her head and said, "He died when he was assassinated! If he had taken pills by mistake, how could Emperor Qianlong let go of those alchemy warlocks?"

Luo Lie had this idea at that time, especially after seeing the crystal coffin, the blind man also raised evidence from Feng Shui, believing that the crystal coffin was located where the dragon vein was traveling. The deceased absorbed spiritual energy head downwards and then died of death, and the body grew scales and turned into a dragon to benefit the descendants. Not everyone is qualified to be buried underground in the royal garden of the Old Summer Palace.

Lan Ximei said: "Those alchemy sorcerers were driven away from the garden. In a hurry, there were many books that didn't have time to collect. They originally planned to burn these things, but later, Emperor Qianlong changed his mind for some reason, so he found a special person to sort it out. This person was Ji Xiaolan. Ji Xiaolan compiled the Siku Quanshu at that time, and despite this, he still took the time to read some notes left by the sorcerers."

Luo Lie thought to himself that these wise men in the world were not undesirable, but in fact, many of their alchemy techniques were early chemical experiments.

"Ji Xiaolan read a lot of books and was well-educated. He actually found some techniques for prolonging life from the notes of these alchemists. After practice, he was extremely effective. Not only did he practice it, he also recommended it to Emperor Qianlong. After Emperor Qianlong tried it, he felt as if he was rejuvenated. Unfortunately, part of the alchemist's notes were lost. According to Ji Xiaolan, if he could get all the notes, he would not dare to say that he could at least rejuvenate and prolong his life."

Luo Lie sighed in his heart, but it was a pity that Emperor Yongzheng had not had time to enjoy the research results of the alchemist, and Lu Siniang cut off his head with a knife. However, his predecessors planted trees and later took advantage of the shade. His research results were still cheaper than his son. Emperor Qianlong lived to eighty-eighth, and Ji Xiaolan also lived to eighty-one.

Lan Ximei said: "No one doesn't want to stay young forever, even if he is as wise as Emperor Qianlong, he sent Ji Xiaolan to secretly find who was the person who wrote the notes. After many twists and turns, he finally found out that the notes were written by Zhang Taixu. But he found Zhang Taixu's hometown, but heard that he was dead. Emperor Qianlong was unwilling to miss an opportunity to rejuvenate and let someone dig up Zhang Taixu's tomb. There was only an empty coffin in the tomb, and there was no bones inside it."

This secret history is full of legends, and Luo Lie also listens to it attentively.

Lan Ximei was a little tired after talking for a long time, and then leaned her head against Luo Lie's shoulder. Whether Luo Lie admitted it or not, with the understanding of her, the disgust towards her has now disappeared a lot. If it were her who had the same experience as Lan Ximei, his revenge might be even more fierce.

Lan Ximei whispered: "Mr. Qianlong did not find the remaining notes until his death. Such things will not be written into the official history. After Emperor Qianlong passed away, no one paid attention to the notes for a long time. Until the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Lord Lao Fu felt that his health was getting worse day by day. An old eunuch in the palace talked about this and actually found Ji Xiaolan's record from the library. Lord Lao Fu asked someone to refine pills according to the formula. After taking it, he suddenly felt refreshed, so he asked someone to search for another half of the notes based on the clues."

She paused for a moment, rubbed her cheeks on Luo Lie's shoulders a few times, and then reached out to grab Luo Lie's big hand. Luo Lie felt that her skin was very cold. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to throw her away roughly and let her take advantage of it.

Lan Ximei said: "The things in this world really need to be related to fate and fortune. The clues that Emperor Qianlong searched everywhere but failed to get, but after so many years, he was found by Lord Lao Fu. It turned out that Zhang Taixu was not dead, nor ascended to the immortals. After being expelled from the Old Summer Palace, he was worried that he would be retaliated afterwards, so he went to Nanyang incognito. After living in Nanyang for decades, he went to North America again. When he arrived in North America, the Civil War broke out."

Luo Lie silently calculated the timeline. Emperor Yongzheng died in 1735, and the Civil War broke out in 1861. It was said that Zhang Taixu was in his forties when he was expelled from the Old Summer Palace. It was said that he was in his forties. From his expelled from the Old Summer Palace to the outbreak of the Civil War, it was another 126 years. In other words, Zhang Taixu was about 170 years old when he arrived in the United States. Such a long life has never been recorded in human history.

Lan Ximei said: "It would be fine if Zhang Taixu was willing to settle down in the United States forever. Unfortunately, he finally asked someone to send a letter to his hometown because he couldn't help but feel homesick. In fact, Zhang Taixu also understood that his family was no longer there, and this letter would not have any result. Unexpectedly, this letter fell into the hands of the person sent by Lao Fu to find Zhang Taixu's notes. After verification by the handwriting master, he found that the handwriting of the letter was exactly the same as the notes left by Zhang Taixu before."

Luo Lie had a deeper understanding of the saying that the world is full of wonders. Before going to Pale Mountain, he never thought that there were so many magical creatures hidden in the underground world. The mutations of Luo Xingmu, Fang Kewen and others greatly subverted his knowledge of human power. And Shen Wangyou, this father who traveled from the future world, pushed his cognition to the limit. After experiencing so many incredible things, Zhang Taixu's longevity was not a shocking thing.

Lan Ximei said: "This matter was reported secretly to the Lord Lafayette. Lord Lafayette sent people to North America to find Zhang Taixu's whereabouts. Zhang Taixu was not an ordinary person after sending the letter. After sending the letter, he felt inappropriate. When the people sent by Lord Lafayette came to the door, Zhang Taixu was already empty. However, in order to regain the old age, Lord Lafayette did not give up easily. He spent a lot of manpower and material resources to pursue Zhang Taixu's whereabouts. Until Prince Rui Yixun visited the United States, Zhang Taixu, who was already tired of the world, actually found him. The two talked about anything, but knew that Zhang Taixu came to the beach and blew himself in the direction of his homeland in the east after meeting."

She leaned against Luo Lie and felt unprecedented peace of mind and warmth. From childhood to adulthood, she had never felt this way. The rain kept falling, and the small carriage was mixed with tobacco and Lan Ximei's body fragrance. Lan Ximei held Luo Lie's right arm. Although Luo Lie did not use hypnosis on her, she was so comfortable that she wanted to fall asleep at any time.

Luo Lie took the wet smoke from his lips with his left hand. The sound of rain became more and more dense. The outside world was already blurred. His eyes had already adapted to the dark environment in the car. He could appreciate Lan Ximei's beautiful face up close.

I don’t know whether it was because of the night, because I was too close, or because Lan Ximei’s light makeup was washed away by the rain today, but today she actually showed the purity of the clear water and lotus.

Luo Lie remembered the scene of saving her from the river. Looking back now, he did not regret it. He suddenly felt that Lan Ximei's attitude towards him might have begun to change from that night. Without her own rescue, her life should have ended on that night. No matter how deep the hatred is, it can only flow eastward silently with the river.

Lan Ximei did not continue to tell this past, but Luo Lie had guessed the subsequent development. After Zhang Taixu's death, Prince Rui Yixun must have obtained his notes or other important research results. He put the things he got in a safe and transported them to the Qing Dynasty across the ocean. Although Yixun received notes that could live forever, he did not escape the assassination of his subordinates and died on the way back.

The most mysterious one among them is the safe. Luo Lie suddenly guessed the bait used by Lan Ximei to lure and kill Mu Sanshou, which is the safe, to be precise, the thing in the safe. Mu Sanshou is already old, and his reputation and power will surely decline with his aging. No matter how much wealth a person has but no youth, what's the point?

Luo Lie remembered Luo Xingmu, a strange man who sacrificed himself for the so-called immortality technique, and Sparrow kept saying that he colluded with Japanese people to sell national treasures, but when Fu Bo's true identity was exposed, this accusation was obviously worth discussing. Although everyone in this world has different thoughts, everyone should want to live a better life. It is not that you can live freely with youth and beauty, nor that you can be happy with wealth and glory, and you should live happily.

On the surface, Lan Ximei and Ye Qinghong already have everything that is enviable, but they all have unresolved knots. They want to take revenge, and they want to take revenge at all costs.

Lan Ximei suddenly hugged Luo Lie's arm tightly and whispered: "My father killed my mother, but I want to avenge him. Am I stupid?"

Luo Lie shook his head.

Lan Ximei whispered: "I know you look down on me from the bottom of your heart, but since you saved me, you have no choice. You can't like me, you can't change me and I like you!"

Luo Lie held the cigarette in his mouth again.

Lan Ximei raised her head, looked at him affectionately with her clear and beautiful eyes, and actually took the initiative to pick up the lighter and lit a cigarette for him.

Luo Lie took a sip of cigarette and inhaled the cigarette into his lungs as much as possible, because he felt that even in front of Lan Ximei, the second-hand smoke was not gentle enough to fill the narrow carriage.

Lan Ximei seemed to guess what he thought again and whispered: "Don't suppress yourself. You are always too cautious. I won't dislike it as long as it belongs to you." Her face was pressed against Luo Lie's shoulders, and she hugged Luo Lie with both hands, like a vine wrapped around a tree trunk, and said softly: "Have you noticed that the scent of your and my breath is mixed in this carriage. Your lungs and my lungs are full of the breath of the other party. You have nowhere to escape, and you cannot refuse."

Luo Lie choked by her words again and started coughing violently.

Lan Ximei giggled and suddenly pounced on her, biting Luo Lie's neck like a vampire, but she didn't want to bite hard with her teeth, but kissed her hard.

Luo Lie twisted his head and his face was squeezed onto the car window glass. His handsome face had been deformed, but he still could not escape the consequences of being kissed by Lan Ximei.

Lan Ximei pushed open the car door with a giggle and walked into the wind and rain. The night rain was in a hurry, but she didn't care at all. She looked up at the rainy night sky, her pale face was covered with rain, and her beautiful hair was quickly fixed behind her head by the rain.
