Chapter 38: Background Foreshadowing for the Last Chapter

Things went surprisingly well. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Shen Lin'an was still a little incredulous and faintly hesitant in his heart when he took all the tokens of Shen Bigu's upper and lower five halls, four departments and five factions in a string and hammered them in his hand. This time, she really held Shen Bigu in her hands.

And such a rapid transfer of power must represent a tragic situation of blood. Shen Lin'an was able to win because of the help of two parties. One is Yu Ban and the person behind him, although it is just emerging, they have made great efforts to infiltrate Shen Bi Valley. There are eyes and ears everywhere, and it is not much worse to say that everything is clear. And Shen Bigu has grown rapidly over the years, and the students recruited in each phase are all talents in the world, who are trained by the five halls in turn, and finally sent to various places in the valley, which is the easiest to infiltrate and the most powerful in combat.

The second is the people under Shen Lin'an, some of them were Shen Lin'an's entourage, and some were Shen Lin'an's apprentices. And everyone can also choose someone they trust to accept as an apprentice and inherit the mantle.

Shen Lin'an's influence on Shen Bigu is by no means superficial, like Jiang Xunfeng's idea that once a new faction appears, the power will be reshuffled is particularly naΓ―ve in the eyes of the real old brand. Just like this way of inheriting the mantle, it is the secret of the five halls, and the layman is like Jiang Patrol, and it is even unheard of.

Shen Bigu ordered that those who graduated on time and had excellent grades in the five halls would tattoo a red pattern on their right wrist with cinnabar to show their graduation and prove their identity. Those who entered Shen Lin'an's command drew a light blue bird tattoo on his left chest with animal blood, which usually disappeared, and his internal strength appeared when the qi and blood surged.

It's just that although the needle used for tattooing is slender, it will eventually leave a mark and form a dense small needle eye, which is usually not visible, but it can be touched. Shen Lin'an used this method to distinguish the assassination of everyone.

And Gong Zhubi had already realized a little before, although everyone present disappeared overnight, there was still no one to go after all. He secretly inspected the many colleagues in the valley who had never been bare-necked, and found that half of them were now on Shen Lin'an's side, and naturally his doubts were greatly solved. Then I asked Qingrui, and it naturally came out.

Qing Apple left alone at that time, just to rectify this group of people, and then cooperate with the forces in the hands of Yu Ban, for a while, there was a tendency to destroy and decay. It's just that Shen Lin'an is the kind of person who is easily carried away by victory? The people behind Jiang Xunfeng have not yet appeared, and the rest of the forces in the valley have retreated too easily, which makes her first vigilant in her heart.

Shen Lin'an threw the string of tokens into Yu Xiang's hand with a bang, and squinted at Yu Ban: "Your master has already held half of this Shen Bigu in his hand, but now he simply gave it to me, just for the so-called Yinuo, it's not too much of a loss." ”

Yu Ban heard her ask, with the usual flattery on his face: "This token was given to Mr., but the person is still our family, isn't it?" They are all people who have been in the valley for a long time, and the habit of Mr. is naturally good, if he is not used to it, please also take care of Mr. more. ”

"That's it?" Shen Lin'an raised his eyebrows, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart, this is not a third-rate small sect, Shen Bigu, but today's giant crocodile, half of Shen Bigu's power, although it doesn't matter, it is not ordinary and can be compared after all. Good things that have a price and no market will naturally be exchanged for corresponding things.

With a slight turn of thought, Shen Linan asked with a smile: "What does your master want?" Why don't you talk to me? How about I prepare first? ”

Having said that, Yu Ban naturally has no need to deny it. He took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Lin'an. It's full of names. Shen Lin'an suddenly had a bad premonition. However, Yu Ban had already spoken: "My master has carefully selected twenty masters of light skills, concealment techniques and all kinds of light weapons to make them extremely delicate and skillful, I hope that Mr. can find a place for them."

is good at the kind of hidden kung fu that is not very popular in the eyes of people in the rivers and lakes now, and he has excellent skills and skills, and he also uses light weapons. This in itself is full of referential significance. What's more, she has to be carefully selected to let her go with a place, this is obviously the idea of Feiyue Tower!

Knowing what he wanted, he could let go of his hanging heart slightly, Shen Lin'an's eyes scanned the bamboo slip again, wrote down their names in his heart, and said lazily: "Didn't your master say to change me?" He already asked for two things in this Feiyue Tower, which one should I promise or the other? ”

Yu Ban lowered his eyes: "According to the meaning of my master, it is naturally this latter thing." This Shen Bi Valley, we each reject one place, and Feiyue Tower is the same, isn't it a benefit for both sides? As for this first one......"

"Could it be that your master thinks that putting people into the Flying Moon Tower can affect my decision-making?"

Yu Ban felt the oppression of that day again, and cold sweat gradually oozed from the corners of his forehead. He raised his sleeve and smacked: "Where! My master has always liked things to come out of the way, and this matter of Shen Bigu is exchanged for the matter of Feiyue Tower, which can be regarded as a human favor! ”

One thing against two things, how do you offset each other? Shen Lin'an hesitated, and a figure had already appeared in his mind. She suddenly raised her head and straightened up, and Yu Ban instantly felt a huge pressure rushing towards her! He gritted his teeth, so that he would never show his cowardice at this moment, but he couldn't calm down in his heart: such a might, he had only seen it in a general who had retired for many years, the kind of implicit but not hairy, the slightest leakage of the edge will make you unable to help yourself, and the power born between walks seems to have the ability to drain mountains and reclaim the sea, making your knees weak unconsciously, and you can't wait to bow down!

Yu Ban couldn't calm down in his heart, and Shen Lin'an immediately discovered her gaffe, she has always been a person who has a very good situation, although she suddenly leaked a little, she quickly adjusted back. Yu Ban was under light pressure at that time, and secretly ventilated, but he couldn't hide it from Shen Lin'an.

Shen Lin'an deliberately let this matter pass, but he just didn't know, and waited for Yu Ban's breath to stabilize before he asked: "The person behind Jiang Xunfeng is also in your hands?" ”

The answer, of course, is yes. Shen Lin'an gritted his teeth and agreed to the two requests of the master of the Yu class, and gave the bamboo slips directly to Heming, asking him to take people to Feiyue Tower. He also promoted Hengtang and Yanxing in Shenbi Valley, and took charge of things in the valley on behalf of Shen Lin'an.

Then Shen Linan dragged the eight big girls and went back to the capital after shopping. There's no way, things are piling up, and if you don't go back, it's going to change.

However, after more than a month, the wind direction in the capital has indeed changed greatly. The first is that the triennial imperial examination was released, and the result shocked a group of people's jaws. Chen Shao won the champion of nine out of ten because he was too good to become a tanhua, but it was the eldest grandson of Chen Jun's staff who was the eldest grandson of the famous academy, Li Wei (yi ersheng), who won a champion. As for the list, it was a big upset, and he was the second son of the national policy Gao family's room, Gao Shen (Shen Sansheng).

These three people have their own stories, but the capital is very lively for a while. Let's talk about Chen Shao first, he has always been quite famous in the capital, and this time he got Tanhua, except for the parties and relatives at home who regretted a little, others thought they were very compatible. It's just that Chen Shao was uneasy after all, so he specially wrote a letter to her, humming and chirping some sour things about his family background. Reading between the lines, he said that he missed Shen Lin'an, but Shen Lin'an was very busy at the time, where did he have the time to talk to him about those gossip! When he was a child, they often corresponded, and he sometimes wrote a few letters in a row, all of which were trivial things, and Shen Lin'an replied less, so he didn't talk about those daily trivial matters, but only picked up the chatter, but now he mentioned it in the letter, which shows that he is really wronged.

Then there is Li Yuan, as I have said before, he is from a famous academy in Shuzhong, with a good family style and rich knowledge, and it is not surprising that he will be in the top three. And Chen Jun's family released two happy whips in a row, which has also become an interesting anecdote.

And this high level is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. There is no other reason, the second son of the Gao family, the national policy, is actually born with a deficiency of life, and on weekdays, he is a sick and weak person who is wheezing when he walks and coughing when he talks loudly. has always quietly disappeared in the capital, and suddenly became famous, which shocked the world. It's just that after all, he has lived in seclusion for a long time, and it sounds like he really can't start, but he has become the most mysterious one. Speaking of this national policy, the Gao family and Shen Lin'an still have a grudge, to be precise, it is Jiang Bai's hatred: there was a person named Gaofang on the ancestor of the Gao family back then, who was known as a national soldier, and strategized to exhaust the righteous army led by Jiang Bai with stratagems, defeated Jiang Bai, and destroyed the Dayan Kingdom.

This is not the only thing that is new in the capital. The case of the death of the third young master of the Hu family is unresolved, the eldest princess of Dezhao set a marriage with Li Ji, the youngest son of the dean of the famous academy for her daughter An Rong, and the daughter of the Liu family who married to the eldest princess's mansion Liu led the book and went home, and Cao Mo, the beloved son of Taicheng Cao Xian, married his cousin in October this year, and the Hu family girl who was a noble concubine in Prince Yong's mansion was upgraded to a side concubine. This incident is like a national gossip, everyone has to mention it, but there are only a few people who really see it through this series of peach blossom scandals.

Shen Lin'an knocked on the window lattice of the carriage with his hands, listened to Lu Yang read the briefing in the capital for many days, closed his eyes, spoke slowly, and asked Lu Yang to write down: "This champion, the top eye, and the selection of Tanhua reflect nothing more than today's attitude towards the family. Li Yuan is the first on the list, which reflects the meaning of the reuse of the famous Li family; The list is Gao Yuan, and it is also a placation of the old family represented by the national policy Gao family; As for Chen Shao, he is a young backward from the family of the humerus.

That person put the Li family in front of him to promote the Li family, prepare for the Li family's entry into the WTO, and prepare for future changes. To appease the Gao family, it is also to prevent the existing stable situation from taking the position. As for the Chen family, Conglong Gong is sometimes a ladder to the top and a knife for slaughter. ”

Lu Yang wrote it down word for word, twisted a new piece of paper, and waited for Shen Lin'an to continue. "An Rong and Li Ji's marriage, this is the alliance situation that the Liu family has been working hard to promote, which is equivalent to linking An Rong and Li Rong's eldest princess's mansion and the famous Li family, and jointly dragging them into the alliance army of the Liu family. The famous Li family is indeed a good choice for the eldest princess to marry a daughter, but if you marry a daughter under the persecution of all parties, no matter how good this son-in-law is, it will become unsatisfactory. ”

Shen Lin paused, and secretly felt a pity in his heart: "The eldest princess's breath can't come out of her son-in-law, but she can handle it with her daughter-in-law." The Liu family's harmony is actually a symbol of the break between the Liu family and the eldest princess's mansion. And the Li family, which is sandwiched in it, has a strategic alliance on one side and a family of relatives on the other, so it can only stretch the battle line and be the link of collusion. An Rong and Liu's life must be difficult. ”

Lu Yang also sighed: "No, this world is always difficult for women." It's clearly the men's decision, but they all use the women as rafts. When the men repented, they ended up becoming women's. ”

Shen Lin'an coughed and motioned for her to continue writing: "It's still this Li family, and the daughter of their side branch has married into the Cao family for more than one generation. The good relationship between the Cao and Li families for many years is by no means comparable to that of ordinary alliances. And when the two families remarried at this time, it was actually a statement: the attitude of the Cao family and the Li family to advance and retreat together. And all of this seems to be maintained by the Li family and benefited by the Li family, but in fact it is not. ”

Lu Yang lost his pen and rummaged through the information, and Shen Lin'an had roughly retold it: "The marriage between the Li family and the eldest princess's mansion is led by the Liu family, Cao Mo's mentor is the ninth master of the Liu family, and Li Ji's mother is the cousin of the current wife of the head of the Liu family. Also, the princess of Prince Yong's mansion is the aunt and grandmother of the Liu family. ”

Looking at it this way, the Liu family is very closely connected with the chaos in the capital today, and this closeness, standing behind it is not only a huge family of three generations of Zaifu, but also a queen who has been in business for many years. The princelings have already stepped in, and they have succeeded in leveraging today, doing more with less. ”

Shen Lin'an laughed: "The queen is constantly moving here, but she doesn't know that the concubine party is already ready to move." You must know that the wife of the Liu family who is in charge of pulling the line is the daughter of the Su family, and she is a half-sister with the concubine, and the Miss Hu who was promoted to the side concubine in Prince Yong's mansion, her sister Hu Chen is Chen Jun's only wife. Not to mention the previous efforts to marry my daughter into my Shen family's Linjun Palace.

While the Liu family is working hard to promote the emerging family, the Su family has begun to win over the important ministers suppressed by the Liu family. It's just that the two generations of concubines of the Su family, the previous generation, because of Su Shandao's vitality, missed the current position. And this generation has made a comeback, although it is said that regardless of the previous suspicions to win over the Shen family and the Chen family, these two families are unpleasant, but they are directly responsible for their weakness. Cooperating with the Su family, for the Shen and Chen families, is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger. What's more, I also had a feud with the Hu family because of Hu Duanjin and Hu Sanlang, and a feud with the Liu family because of Liu Erlang. ”

Looking at it this way, the Shen family is still not biased in any way, so they can gain a foothold in this muddy water. This is also why Shen Linan sighed that the Shen family can only be loyal to that position, not just one person. The Northwest Army, put it in your hand, is still too piercing, like a bomb, which will be detonated at any time.

It seemed that the road ahead was worrying, Shen Lin'an rubbed his eyebrows, but he thought of the mysterious master of Yuban again, he was about the same as her, he didn't want the princelings to win too quickly in this battle, and he didn't want the decaying dynasty to collapse too quickly.
