"Let's put it bluntly, I don't think Xixin is like a monk." Feng Jiu squinted slightly, and added: "Perhaps, he is not a monk at all." ”

"Lie." Tian Qi's fingers on the table suddenly paused, "Xixin served as the host of the Bamboo Temple, and on the day of the altar, someone from the imperial court came to give a speech." If you say something like this, you are indirectly questioning the decisions of the imperial court. ”

Feng Jiu's eyes froze slightly, and he moved his upper lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he just closed his mouth and fell into silence.

The ranking of the skills of the ten generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion mainly tends to the level of martial arts cultivation, but they are not completely equal to a group of thugs. Protecting the personal safety of the prime minister also means that they need to have a certain amount of wisdom to judge some things. The danger factors that can deal with the prime minister, in addition to the deceit in the court, some dark forces in the court are certainly not as simple as brutal thugs.

If you simply rank another seat according to the depth of resourcefulness and cleverness, at this time, sitting on the right side of the table, Tian Qi, who ranks seventh among the ten generals, may fall to the ninth position of Feng Jiu, but Feng Jiu will not only have to climb two places. Feng Jiu's martial arts are much inferior to Tian Qi, and he is three years younger than Tian Qi, but he is a rare person with a delicate mind among the ten generals. And he also has a very keen sense of smell in conspiracy theories, and can naturally connect some seemingly unrelated clues.

For example, today, from Xixin's good relationship with Cen Chi, coupled with his extremely deep and powerful martial arts, coupled with Xixin's faint honor from the nobleman in the palace, Feng Jiu has already faintly smelled the implication between these three things.

However, he only had a vague feeling, and it was not real, more blurry than the silent, colorless, and touchless fragments he saw in his dreams. But in reality, his sense of smell in this matter is not wrong. If he knew Xixin's true identity, to be exact, it was the real relationship with Cen Chi. The smell he smelled today could be quickly put into practice.

But the truth of such an identity, Feng Jiu is afraid that he will not know it in his lifetime. Except for Xi Xin himself and his two fellow disciples who have an extraordinary relationship with him, such information is only known to the high-ranking members of the royal families of Beiyan and Nanzhao. With Feng Jiu's identity, there is no chance to come into contact with such a group of people.

There are also wise people among the poor, but because of their status, their range of actions is limited. No matter how keen the wisdom is, it can only gradually fade into the short calculations of the parents of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and they will not be able to ascend to the high hall. It is precisely because of this law that no matter how close Feng Jiu is to that truth, he can't quickly expose it.

Not only that, but in his personal circle, such an inference. Maybe it's more of a joke that doesn't attract the attention of someone who needs to care about it.

But fortunately, Xi Xin and Cen Chi will not be troubled by suspicion of this identity secret for the time being. One can continue to ring the bell and chant the Buddha and become a monk. The other can also continue to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and continue to be his doorman more easily.

Tian Qi saw that Feng Jiu suddenly didn't say anything, but he realized a problem because of this, and said in a slightly slower tone: "Xiao Jiu, my tone was a little stiffer just now. If you hadn't treated me as a brother, you wouldn't have said it to me this far, sorry. ”

Feng Jiu came back to his senses from the silence and contemplation, and said with a smile: "Seventh Brother is right, it's me who speaks impulsively. I don't know if I want to plant this mouth in the future, and I hope that Brother Qi will forgive more. Remind the younger brother more. ”

Tian Qi Chong Feng Jiu smiled and nodded.

Human beings should be the most malleable species in the world, and even twins will have different personalities. The ten generals are all people who were taken in by the Prime Minister for training when they were children, and they were trained and cultivated by the Prime Minister's Kung Fu Teaching. Living together, in addition to making up for part of the dilapidated feeling of home, the biggest thing is that they have a complete sense of brotherhood and community.

And this kind of strategy of training and cultivating ten generals is really something that Prime Minister Shi Jing has emphasized many times on kung fu teaching.

The bridge embankment collapsed due to cracks, and the cause was ruined by disagreements, and the great cause was great. It needs more help. The prime minister hopes that his helpers in any area can be a stable whole, so that he can wholeheartedly do what the head of the group should do.

On the question of how the ten families will be concentric comrades. The prime minister adopted the method of emotional refinement, and now it seems that his strategy has achieved initial success.

Before the ten generals entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, none of them had their own mature thoughts, which led them to be more easily bound by feelings. The reason for this development may be largely due to the fact that they no longer have any relatives, worries, or burdens outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. The ten generals are brothers, and the prime minister is the master of their spirit and survival.

However, I'm afraid no one knows that the prime minister's method of cultivating the ten generals is to imitate the supreme venerable in the palace. And the prime minister himself doesn't know, but in this part of Kyoto, there are many bureaucrats, and then they imitate him and cultivate their own martial arts generals. For example, the two masters from the Gao Yu family who offended the small temple more than a month ago are an example.

It's just that such a family general is likely to be a servant family general forever, which is different from the group of people cultivated by the emperor's family. Only the supreme who holds the power of the world sitting firmly on the dragon chair can give a formal explanation to such a group of people from humble and broken backgrounds, with twists and turns in their backgrounds but good skills. There are already faint cracks between the generals of the Gao Yu family, and the problems of other bureaucrats are also the result of sooner or later.

No one in the world wants to be someone else's servant for the rest of his life, and the strength of his own skills can encourage this kind of thinking to move forward to practical action. But in these bureaucrats, there is not much possibility of rising the status space that can be given to them.

However, in such an era of distinction between dignity and inferiority, people in the position of superiority rarely consider the feelings of their subordinates from this perspective. In fact, ordinary subordinates do not have the ability to turn the faint resentment in their hearts into reality. However, generals with strong martial arts and a certain ability to think independently may be an exception.

But even though this kind of existence that threatens the upper class has loomed heresy, in the inertia of the thinking of the Venerable Master, those Venerable Masters will still naturally think too much about them as if they were inferior.

There is also a possibility that it is because this group of family generals appeared a little suddenly after all, and it lasted relatively short, and the world is not yet mature to grasp the disadvantages of their existence. But if one day, the problems accumulate to a certain thickness and explode all together, it will be very terrible.

However, no matter what fate they have to accept in the future, at least for the time being, the ten generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion are still brothers with a very strong relationship. Therefore, Tian Qi was able to quickly apologize to Feng Jiu when he realized that his tone was inappropriate, and he would not feel that this move would be a shame just because his seat was two levels higher than Feng Jiu. In front of brothers, there is no need to put on a shelf, and the problem of face is also stored, but it is stored in the respect between each other.

Tian Qi hung the saber resting on his lap back between the metal buckles on his waist, and then raised his hand to serve the tea on his table. However, his fingers only reached for the teacup, touched the coarse porcelain appearance of the teacup, and then took it back. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly spoke: "Xiao Jiu, I suddenly thought, if this idea of yours is possible, then ......"

Feng Jiu noticed the strange expression on his face as early as when Tian Qi put away the knife. Although Tian Qi's mind is not as agile as Feng Jiu, this master, who ranks seventh among the ten generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion, has a major strength in his thinking characteristics, that is, he takes things very seriously.

Although there was still a serious suspicion in his tone, he did not directly deny the point of Feng Jiu's questioning, but was willing to try to discuss this issue head-on, which was already a sign of his belief in it.

Feng Jiu condensed slightly, he didn't want to talk about this little hurtful brother's anger again, but now that Tian Qi also believed it a little, he quickly picked up that conversation again, and slowly spoke: "Cen Chi doesn't have many friends, he treats people well, this doesn't mean that he is really willing to make friends with everyone, that's just his habit." This may also show that he has no friends in the Prime Minister's Mansion, at least in the circle of people we can reach. ”

"But that's not normal. Xiangye and Gongzi attach so much importance to him, and the feelings invested in him can be a lot more than the other guests, and he should not react at all. Feng Jiu looked at Tian Qi and finished his words in an accented tone.

Tian Qisi took a breath and was silent for a moment before saying, "Do you mean that the weight of Xiangye and Gongzi in Cen Chi's heart is actually less than a friend?" ”

"To be precise, it's not as much as the monk in this temple." Feng Jiu smiled lightly without any warmth, "However, if it weren't for the power of this monk, I probably wouldn't have pondered this aspect so much." ”

Tian Qi leaned on the edge of the table and leaned over towards Feng Jiu, and said in a slightly dry voice: "What do you say?" ”

"If he is just an ordinary monk, Cen Chi's relationship with him, no matter how close he is, is still just a friend. In this way, even if he doesn't regard Xiangye and Childe as best friends, in terms of the identity of Xiangye and Childe, Xiangye and Childe may not regard him as best friends, and there is more of a cooperative relationship between them. ”

Feng Jiu took a deep breath when he said this, sorted out the still vague conceptual image in his heart, and then slowly continued: "Xixin's identity is almost like a monk's bald head, so simple that he can't distinguish a single impurity, but his martial arts are so high that it faintly exposes a trace of doubt in his identity. ”
