Chapter 326: Convincing the Xie Clan
The woman dressed as a man on the opposite side also seemed to feel Wang Mei's gaze, she raised her eyes and winked at Wang Mei, as if she also felt funny, and after laughing out loud, she gave something to the little girl who followed behind.
However, in a few breaths, the hooligans who originally played the dancing girls downstairs were taken away by some people in samurai uniforms to deal with them, and Wang Mei also received a pink note with the words "There is a gentleman with a smile, you can see it" in hairpins. Signed on the letter: Rongzhi Pavilion Master.
The manservant who sent this gorgeous note was neither humble nor arrogant on his face, although he was dressed as a subordinate, his bearing was quite magnificent, and he must have been born in a family. Contacting Wang Mei's understanding of various people in the Northern Dynasties, I couldn't help but think of Miss Cui San, who is famous for poetry and books in Qinghe Cui's family, Cui Zhirong.
It's just that the Cui family has always been rooted in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, how could Cui Zhirong appear in the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty? Looking at her posture, she is not low-key, could it be that in the five years since she left, the Cui family has made a decision between the East and the West? This is to send the disciples of the clan as outposts?
It seems that the development of the Yuwen family has been booming in the past two years, and sure enough, Xiahou Jing's original rebellion was not a huge loss for the Eastern Wei Dynasty. However, to be able to make such a decision by the Cui family, I am afraid that the benefits and blueprints that the Yuwen family came up with will not be a thin and shriveled piece of dry rice.
Wang Mei has been influenced by the scholar clan since she was a child, and the Langya Wang clan at the top of the scholar clan has received the education that Lang Jun should have, at this time, just by virtue of a small note, a figure and the information of the scholar clan in her head, she directly guessed the possible transaction behind it, she glanced at Xie Changsheng, who had been sitting at the round table in the middle of the room and drinking tea, and sure enough, a trace of doubt flashed on his face.
"It seems that we have to be more careful when we go to Jinyang, I don't know what the attitude of the Jinyang royal family is."
Wang Mei can see it, and Xie Changsheng can naturally see it. As the little Langjun cultivated by the Xie family of Chen County, how could he not even have the slightest sense of politics? It's just that his own temperament determines that he will definitely not embark on the same path of revenge as Wang Mei.
He had already thought about sending Wang Mei to Jinyang Wang's house safely, and he was going back to Jiankang. After all, the foundation of the Xie family is still in the Southern Dynasty, and as a child of the Xie family, although he is now a cultivator, he still has to settle down the things within the family first. At the beginning, he led the children of the Xie family to escape, and he entered the path of cultivators by chance, but he did not forget his original mission.
Therefore, unlike Wang Mei, Xie Changsheng was thinking more about the attitude of the Jinyang Wang family, after all, it was the destination of his trip. Wang Mei did not hide his hostility to the sect represented by Shi Junbai, and he did not object, for the survival of the sect, in fact, there was nothing to be attached to Xie Changsheng. His path was not attached to faith.
"In any case, I always have to penetrate into the interior of the Northern Dynasty first, and this is for the faith, and I must penetrate from the top. As far as I know, there are at least three temples on this side of the Northern Dynasty that belong to one branch of Qingliang Temple. At the beginning, Zhang Daoren also said that the monk who wanted to take me away from the mass grave was just a subordinate of the Venerable Buddha Jiaye Branch. And the Buddha Gate of the Canglan Realm is in charge of the Venerable Ka Ye. ”
Once again, Wang Mei unabashedly spread out his goal in front of Xie Changsheng. Her trust moved Xie Changsheng at the same time, but also felt helpless, and he sighed faintly:
"Ah Mei, you confess like this, but you want me to be on your side?"
Wang Mei sat down by the window, with a very serious expression on his face: "Yes, cousin." I need you to help me. ”
Without waiting for Xie Changsheng to reply, she continued: "Before I entered the Xuancheng Gate, I had already arranged for people to deal with Xiahou Jing, and before entering the city today, I had already sent a signal, and we would be able to meet the people I arranged on the way to Jinyang tomorrow." But with my own strength alone, as well as the remaining power of the Langya Wang family, I don't think the Jinyang Wang family will let me enter the door so easily. ”
"However, the Xie family is no longer the same day, Ah Mei, you should know that due to the refusal of the Wang Xie family at the beginning, when Xiahou Jing slaughtered Jiankang, my Wang Xie family can be said to bear the brunt. Now, even if the two of us join forces, I'm afraid that the Wang family, who lives in Jinyang, will not look down on us. ”
Xie Changsheng looked at Wang Mei with a little worry, and asked him to stand on Wang Mei's side, but he really did not hesitate. However, the weight of the Xie family now, he himself is not sure. In the battle of Jiankang, Wang Xie was almost wiped out, and he sent Wang Mei back to Jiankang this time to clean up the mess, and he didn't know if he could restore some of the Xie family's past scenery.
"Then what if you add the Zheng family in Xingyang and the Lu family in Fan Yang?"
Wang Mei did not despair, with her friendship with Zheng Mo and Lu Zhan, she was confident that she would take a leave of absence, and the two of them would definitely do their best to help her. She only had five years to go now, and the flame of revenge in her heart made her desperate to destroy the man who had destroyed her family.
"Ah Mei, have you figured it out that you must do this?"
Xie Changsheng asked Wang Mei for the last time. If you want him to smear Ah Mei's liver and brain, it is naturally not a problem. However, now Wang Mei's request is for him to gamble on the life and future of the Xie family. He needs more reason and information to judge.
"Yes, cousin, I must do it. I'm going to stir up this pool. Wang Mei replied without hesitation, she looked at Xie Changsheng's frowning long eyebrows, suppressed the resentment in her heart, and continued:
"Cousin, after coming into contact with the world of cultivators like Xuanjiamen and Xuanjianmen, I suddenly realized how ridiculous our scholars' original self-righteousness was. Perhaps, we are just black and white chess pieces of Buddhism and Taoism, fighting in the small realm of Canglan. However, all this is no longer up to them. Ka Ye thought that if he put Jiankang in his hands, there would be no other variables? “
Speaking of this, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a sarcastic smile, "Ka Ye, the high-ranking Venerable, only knows about reincarnation and life and death every day, but he doesn't understand people's hearts. The most difficult thing in this world to control is the human heart, he thought that after the overthrow of the Xiao family's regime, the status of Buddhism would be above the imperial power, but he didn't understand that this mortal heart was the sharpest double-edged sword in the world. As soon as Xiahou Jingyi came to power, a large number of Buddhist temples were pushed to the ground, and a large amount of land was confiscated, and Jiaye had no choice but to speed up the construction in the north. ”
Xie Changsheng listened to Wang Mei's words, his frowning brows did not relax, but the light in his eyes flashed: "Ah Mei, do you mean that now Xiahou Jing has been driven down?" Still chaotic in the South? Is Buddhism in the north infiltrating the imperial power? “
After experiencing Emperor Wu's love for Buddhism, Xie Changsheng naturally understood that the preferences and beliefs of the upper nobles had an impact on the lower society, and he asked at this time, obviously the balance in his heart had tilted.
