Bianjing Xingtai Shangshu Province, the capital Marshal's Mansion.

In the conference hall, there were five people, four men and one woman. The person who sits in the middle hall is about fifty years old, and the typical aristocratic dress of the Jin State is the Taishi of the Jin State, and the marshal is Wanyan Zongbi. Today's Wanyan Zongbi is no longer as fierce and brave as he used to be, tall but no longer burly, and his thin face is a little haggard, but he still has the momentum of sweeping thousands of troops. On the left hand side is a middle-aged man in his forties, with red hair and red beard, and a lofty spirit, who is the national teacher of the Jin Kingdom, and the leader of the Heavenly Ninja Sect, Wanyan Honglie. The second seat on the left hand is a woman in her twenties, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a Yao nose and red lips, skin like condensation, hair like splashing ink, wearing traditional Jurchen costumes, fresh and refined, like a fairy in the painting, she is the master of the Heavenly Ninja Sect Fire Hall, and she is the sister of the Emperor of Jin, Princess Wanyan Xueyi. On the right side of the seat is a young man, about twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in a white satin robe, holding a folding fan, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, extraordinary bearing, completely looking like a person from the Central Plains, this person is Jin Guoshangshu Zuo Cheng Wanyan Liang. The second seat on the right hand is also a young man, about the same age as Wan Yan Liang, who is also dignified, dressed in the official uniform of the Jin State, and is Wan Yan Yong, the secretary of the military department (3).

"Marshal Qiyudu..." Wan Yan Liang got up and saluted Wan Yan Zongbi.

"Cough! cough!" Wan Yan Zongbi coughed lightly and waved his hand at Wan Yan Liang twice: "Di Gu Nai, there are no outsiders here, no need to be formal!"

"Yes! Wan Yan Liang bowed and returned to his seat, and then said, "Uncle, since the Imperial Peace Conference (4), my Dajin and Zhao Song have not fought for nearly ten years, and it is reported that there are now recalcitrant elements in the Zhao and Song Dynasty who intend to go on a northern expedition, and have repeatedly proposed to Zhao Gou, the king of the Song Dynasty. ”

"Do you know who is in charge?" Wanyan Zongbi said with a pout.

"I heard that it's called Li Xianzhong. Wan Yan Liang said.

"Li Xianzhong?" Wanyan Zongbi frowned when he heard this, and coughed dryly twice, "This person has some ability, his father and son once deceived me, and then ran to Western Xia, where he couldn't stay and finally returned to Zhao Song, he was originally called Li Shifu, I heard that this Li Xianzhong is still the name of Zhao Gou. Send a secret envoy to inform Qin Hui and properly handle the matter. ”

"I heard that this person is very favored by Zhao Gou, so let's go with my nephew himself. Wan Yan Liang said.

"That's fine. Wanyan Zongbi nodded, then turned his head to look at Wanyan Honglie and asked, "How is the situation over there?"

Wanyan Honglie owed a debt to Wanyan Zongbi, and said: "Back to my brother's words, now the six major sects in the Central Plains are all controlled by my Heavenly Ninja Sect, and the other small sects and small sects are also bowing down, and the Central Plains Martial Arts can be said to be in my hands." ”

"Is it? cough! cough!" Yan Zongbi coughed twice, took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth, but he coughed up blood, and couldn't help but look pale and put the handkerchief in his hand.

Wan Yanliang was good at observing colors, and when he saw this scene, he immediately got up and asked with concern: "Uncle, your body?"

Wanyan Zongbi waved his hand at Wanyan Liang to signal him to sit down, and said, "It's not in the way." He turned to Wan Yan Honglie and said, "I'm talking about what the situation of the Heavenly Huang Dragon Weapon is!"

"Brother Hui, there are eight Tianhuang dragon weapons, and now we have three of them. Wan Yan Honglie said.

"You also know that Tianhuang dragon weapons need to gather eight pieces to solve its mystery, if I remember correctly, you promised to collect all eight dragon weapons to the emperor within three years, but now that three years have passed, you only have three pieces, less than half, when will you be able to collect all eight pieces to return to the emperor?" Wan Yan Zongbi asked.

"Brother knows that this Tianhuang dragon weapon is a mysterious thing, scattered all over the world, there are many contenders, the foolish brother actually does not dare to slack off on this matter for many years, and I hope that the elder brother will take more responsibility for the foolish brother in front of the emperor, and the foolish brother should be grateful!"

"I also know your difficulties, it's all your own brother who doesn't have to be polite, but Kitano Martial Madness seems to have a lot of complaints about you, and he talked to me a few days ago, but I didn't pay attention to it, but I was afraid that he would sue you from the emperor. Wan Yan Zongbi slowed down his tone.

"Kitano Martial Arts is crazy to rely on the emperor to learn martial arts from him, if it weren't for the emperor's feelings, I would have given him a good look. Wan Yan Honglie said angrily.

"That's it, if it weren't for the fact that you lost to him in the competition for the first samurai of Dajin back then, otherwise the emperor would have learned martial arts from you, so what about him Kitano martial arts? After I return to Beijing this time, I will definitely work together here. After Yan Zongbi finished speaking, he coughed sharply.

"Uncle, your body is like this, my nephew really can't rest assured, let my nephew accompany you back to Beijing, right?" Wan Yanliang got up again and said with concern.

"Di Gu Nai has a heart, let Wu Lu accompany me back, you still have the task of going to that Zhao Song, and only you are most familiar with it. Wanyan Zongbi was quite pleased.

"Yes! Wanyan Liang sat down, pretending to have a regretful expression, but his heart had already flown to the world of flowers in Lin'an.

"Alright, that's it, let's go about your business. Wanyan Zongbi waved his hand to everyone. Then they got up and saluted him and took their leave, and then departed. After Yan Zongbi coughed again, he looked at the more blood stains on the handkerchief, and knew that his time was not far away! Thinking about the time when he fought on the battlefield and fought all his life, but now he is terminally ill, and no matter how difficult it is to gallop on the battlefield, he can't help but look lonely and sad, and sigh that he is a hero in the twilight.

A few days later, Wanyan Zongbi, accompanied by Wanyan Yong, returned to Huining Mansion in Shangjing, Jin Kingdom. Wan Yanliang went to Lin'an City of the Song State to meet Qin Hui secretly, and directly asked the Song general Li Xianzhong to be cut from his military position, and since then, no one in the Song court dared to say that the Central Plains would be restored.

Bianjing Heavenly Ninja Sect Branch.

Wanyan Honglie walked back and forth in the council hall alone, his brows furrowed on his cold face.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk. There were several knocks outside the door.

"Come in. Wanyan Honglie glanced at the doorway.

The door squeaked open, and a person came in, and said to Wan Yan Honglie: "Uncle." ”

Wan Yan Honglie looked at the person who turned out to be Wan Yan Liang, and said, "Di Gu Nai, you are back, everything is still going well?"

"Thanks to my uncle, everything goes well!" Wan Yanliang said with a smile.

"Haha, whereever, whereever! It's good, it's good. Wanyan Honglie said with a smile.

Seeing this, Wan Yanliang asked, "Uncle has something on his mind?"

Wanyan Honglie pretended to be calm and said, "No! ”

Wan Yanliang smiled slyly in his heart, but he pretended to be lost and said: "Uncle treats his nephew as an outsider!"

"Why did Di Gu say that?" Wan Yan Honglie couldn't help but be surprised.

Wan Yan Liang said: "My Dajin Xing was between the white mountains and black waters, and later destroyed the Liao and Song dynasties, and chased the Central Plains." Shangjing is 108,000 miles away from here, Bianjing as the outpost of my Dajin country, it was the capital of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the emperor set up the Xingtai Shangshu Province here is of great significance, there are Zhao Song in the south, Li Xia in the west, most of all, they are all subservient to my Dajin, but they are still eyeing this Central Plains land, you and my uncle and nephew are guarding this Bianjing Mansion can be said to be a heavy responsibility and a long way to go! When the fourth uncle was leaving, he repeatedly told you and my uncle and nephew to work together, and we should solve any problems together, and face them together. ”

Wanyan Honglie coughed dryly twice and said, "It's just that this is a private matter of this seat, how can I talk about it?"

"Uncle is really outside, since you and my uncle and nephew are of the same heart, how can there be any private affairs, your business is my business. ”

"This..."

"If his nephew wants to ask his uncle for something, will his uncle stand by and watch?"

Wanyan Honglie saw that Wanyan Liang had a sincere face, and said in his heart that this Di Gu Nai was brilliant and decisive, and he couldn't ask for his help, so he said: "You also know that this seat once boasted in front of the emperor that Haikou and collected all the Tianhuang dragon weapons in three years, but now that three years have passed, but only three of them have been obtained, how should I explain this matter to the emperor?"

"Isn't there a fourth uncle on the emperor's side to deal with?"

"Although Brother Wushu can help this seat cope with the meeting for a while, it is not a long-term solution after all, and it is best to find the rest of the dragon weapons as soon as possible. ”

"This is also true, if you want to give an account to the emperor, you must find all the dragon weapons. ”

"Yes, how easy is it to say?" Wanyan Honglie shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Wan Yan Liang approached Wan Yan Honglie and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew has a way to do it when he needs it from time to time. ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Wan Yan Liang whispered in Wan Yan Honglie's ear, Wan Yan Honglie couldn't help but change his face when he heard it, and said in horror: "This is the crime of deceiving the king!"

"It's just a last resort, and it's up to my uncle to decide what to decide. Wan Yan Liang stared at Wan Yan Honglie and said.

"Let's talk about it then!" Wan Yan Honglie thought for a moment, "In fact, there is still something trapped in my heart, and I have never been able to think of a proper way to deal with it." ”

"Uncle refers to those martial arts masters of various factions?"

"The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the ones who know me are virtuous nephews!" Wanyan Honglie smiled, "These Central Plains sects are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but none of them are willing to exchange people with secret collections, in this case, it is pointless to imprison them here, and there is not much interest in their secret collections, only after the disintegration of the heavenly demons in this seat, who else can be the opponent of this seat in the world!"

"Uncle is going to release the people or?" Wan Yanliang made a head-killing gesture.

Wanyan Honglie sighed and said: "If we let them go so easily, they will not be grateful, but will think that my Heavenly Ninja Sect is afraid of them, wouldn't it be a slap in our own face; But there's no point in keeping them in this way, Degunai, can you think of a good way for me?"

"This..." Wan Yanliang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, although my nephew doesn't have any good ideas, I still have a few immature suggestions for my uncle to decide." ”

"Come quickly! Wanyan Honglie couldn't wait.

"First, they are unwilling to exchange the secret collection of the town faction, they can let them exchange for other items, such as the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon; second, they can coerce and induce them to join our Heavenly Ninja Sect or work for the Heavenly Ninja Sect; third, they can create their own internal contradictions and weaken the strength of their various factions. For each of these people, if none of the three are reached, the nephew thinks that there is only one by one" Wan Yanliang made a head-killing gesture again.

"The secret collection of the town faction is unwilling, how can they be willing to give up the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon? besides, they may not have this Tianhuang Dragon Weapon!"

"Uncle's words are wrong! Although the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon is precious, if you can't collect all eight pieces, you can't understand its mysteries at all, and the secret collection of the Zhen Sect is not, it is the foundation of each sect and faction, and they naturally know which is more important. Even if they don't have the Tianhuang Dragon Weapon, in order to change people, I think someone should think of looking for it, wouldn't it be an extra helper for uncle?"

"Hahaha!" Wanyan Honglie laughed and said, "What Di Gu Nai said is very true, but this matter needs a lot of help from the virtuous nephew!"

Wan Yanliang arched his hand and said, "It is my duty!"

Wan Yan Honglie stroked Wan Yan Liang's shoulder with one hand and said: "The virtuous nephew relieved the depression in my heart for me, I am happy today, you and my uncle and nephew will definitely drink three cups." ”

Wan Yanliang smiled and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
