"But we didn't rely on the ideas of these imperial families, since the beginning of the Xuanmen, we have our own responsibilities, and the relationship between us and those emperors and generals is just to use each other and take what they need!"

"Wait, wait......" Zhang Yunfan interrupted Tong Chou's words and asked, "I have two questions I want to ask, first, you said that there were twenty-two families in the Xuanmen in the past, so why did they suddenly disappear?" You're disappearing, not falling! Second, why didn't you choose to reorganize the Xuanmen as soon as they disappeared? ”

Zhang Yunfan really wanted to sort out all the questions, but his full of questions did make Tong Chou, who wanted to kill Zhang Yunfan a little more shocked, he thought to himself, is this person really not afraid of death, or is he stupid?

But he's still a good narrator, and even then, he doesn't seem to be too angry.

Tong Chou nodded and said, "This starts with the mechanism of Xuanmen, there were originally twenty-two families in Xuanmen, and it is said that these twenty-two families are all from the bank of Jiang Shui!"

"On the banks of ginger water? What's wrong with this? Zhang Yunfan asked puzzled.

Tong Chou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Jiang Shui, the place where the Shennong clan rises, comes from the bank of Jiang Shui, which means that these twenty-two families all have the same inheritance, or they were the mainstay of the Jiang clan at that time!"

Shennong's? Hearing these three words, Zhang Yunfan's heart suddenly throbbed, because these three words were so familiar to him, and he was even more surprised to find that everything he had experienced was related to each other!

If according to Tong Chou's words, the twenty-two families are all from the Shennong clan, and the two jade pendants he owns also have a great relationship with the Shennong clan, it is not difficult to explain why Xuanmen wants to get together with the jade pendant in every possible way.

"Twenty-two families are actually very large, but in each family, one person will be selected every two generations to fill my current position!" Tong Chou said, "To put it simply, in my grandfather's generation, there will be one person who will become Tong Chou, and in my generation, there will also be one person who will become Tong Chou!" Tong Chou is not a certain person's name, but the code name of the position of Xuanmen! ”

Explaining this, Tong Chou continued: "As for the disappearance I am talking about, I actually mean that the twenty-two guards of the Xuanmen at that time collectively disappeared!" Not twenty-two families! The disappearance of the 22 guards of the Xuanmen Gate did not bring much shock to these families at the beginning, according to the materials we have, the 22 guards of the Xuanmen at that time were inextricably linked with the Tang Dynasty! And not long after the twenty-two guards disappeared, the Tang Dynasty collapsed, I don't know if this is accidental, but maybe it is inextricably linked, maybe you don't believe what I said, but I want to tell you that the reason why so many feudal dynasties take the initiative to contact Xuanmen behind their backs is mainly because Xuanmen is visiting a special thing! As you may have noticed, I mentioned twenty-two people and called them guards, and these people are there to guard something! I know what exactly you're trying to ask about what you're protecting, but I can't say anything but that it's the ultimate! ”

Zhang Yunfan was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, because what Tong Chou said was obviously something he had never thought of.

Before his shock passed, Tong Chou spoke again: "Your second question, why did the twenty-two guards of Xuanmen disappear for a full four hundred years, and later generations only remember to re-establish Xuanmen!" The answer is very simple, because after the disappearance of the twenty-two guards, the things of the Xuanmen guards have become a mystery, and many people want to know this secret, so the twenty-two families have instantly become fragrant and sweet, and the gate valve separatists are doing everything possible to get this last secret, as well as the things that the Xuanmen has been guarding!

In order to survive and for the sake of the family, many families have indulged in this, so that after a hundred years of concealing their identities, some families have forgotten their identities.

In front of about six hundred, the few remnant families who still knew their identities were in contact with each other, and in the end, the Yitiangan and the Four Earth Branch families finally reconnected and reformed a new Xuanmen! ”

"So the Ming Dynasty at that time didn't win you over? They have no interest in the so-called ultimate? Zhang Yunfan asked.

Tong Chou just smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Of course they don't have the slightest interest in us, because the emperor and his cronies at that time had more things than the Xuanmen that we reorganized!" If someone has a kilogram of gold in their hands and you only have a kilogram of brass in their hands, why should they try to woo you? ”

Zhang Yunfan seemed to understand Tong Chou's words, and nodded slightly: "Indeed, they can use the entire country's machinery to search for intelligence and anything they can think of, and there is no need for you to do anything as an organization that was more like a pyramid scheme at that time!"

Tong Chou suddenly looked at Zhang Yunfan with appreciation and laughed: "Indeed, that's what it means, and you think Zheng He's seven trips to the West are just to search for the emperor who ran away?" Of course not, they're just looking for that secret and thing to guard that disappeared with the twenty-two guards of the Xuanmen! ”

Does it also matter? Zhang Yunfan's eyes widened and asked, "Isn't this price a bit big?" Finally they found it? ”

Tong Chou said: "For the ultimate secret of this world, Zheng He's fleet is simply too insignificant, they are full of treasures, and they have searched for news all the way, but they have returned several times in vain!"

However, judging from their several westward journeys, it is clear that they have accurate information, and things are on their way.

Maybe the information they have is too accurate, maybe their ability is too strong, in short, even if Zhu Di has died and the imperial power of the dynasty has been handed over to others, the Ming Dynasty still resolutely chose to search overseas for the last time!

This time, they found it, and it seemed that there was something else besides the ultimate.

We don't know how ecstatic the emperor was at this achievement, but he still found the ultimate!

But then comes trouble, because they can't open the secret! To be exact, the only one in this world who can make that secret come to light again is Xuanmen! It's just that they don't know that.

Besides, it was originally something that belonged to the Xuanmen, since they couldn't solve the answer, they simply let us keep the Xuanmen as well!

So we chose to find a way to get things back from the Emperor! But you should know that it is even more difficult for the national football team to win the World Cup in this matter! ”

"But these things are in the palace, you can't do them at all!" Zhang Yunfan reminded.

"Indeed!" Tong Chou said, "No matter how powerful the only five remaining families of the Xuanmen are, they can't steal anything from the palace, and these materials are the most important existence for the entire royal family!" ”

"But you got it in the end, didn't you?" Zhang Yunfan said keenly.

Tong Chou let out a chuckle: "You are very smart, if you just say this, then I like you a little!" It is true that there is almost no way to get these things, but there is still one way! That's waiting! ”

"Wait?" Zhang Yunfan asked in a lost voice.

"Indeed, we chose to wait!" Tong Chou said, "At that time, the Xuanmen was very weak, on the one hand, we gradually enriched our strength, on the other hand, we collected intelligence, of course, the most important thing is to wait!" Waiting for a chance! But in any case, we have been waiting for thirty years, and the entire Ming Dynasty royal family is still secretive about these things, and the level of secrecy is even the same as the posthumous photo!

In this case, we have no choice but ......"

"Rob?" Zhang Yunfan asked.

Tong Chou continued to shake his head: "It's better to wait, because we already know that any dynasty will decline one day, as long as they decline, we will become strong and have a chance!" In this way, we waited for another hundred and seventy years until the Ming Dynasty took its last breath! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yunfan's mouth opened unbelievably wide!

This answer is indeed amazing enough, who would be willing to spend several generations to achieve a goal? And whether it will be possible is still unknown.

But these five poor families did this, they waited for nearly two hundred years in order to wait for the opportunity to get things back?

Is this perseverance wisdom or idiocy? Zhang Yunfan really couldn't understand it.

"Then why don't you choose to work with them? Since they want to unlock the secret, and you can unlock the secret! Zhang Yunfan asked.

"No, you're wrong, it's always them who want to completely unlock this secret, and our Xuanmen has always been the protector of this ultimate secret, and we just want to protect it forever!" Tong Chou said, "Our purpose is diametrically opposite! ”

"In the end, you still succeeded, and you exchanged two hundred years of waiting for your own things!" Zhang Yunfan couldn't help but wonder again, "But since you got the things back, it stands to reason that all this should be over long ago, but why are you killing me now?" And that ultimate secret, I think you must know what it is, right? What is it? ”

Tong Chou's movements were a little stiff, and he replied: "Indeed, we have accumulated thousands of fortunes in two hundred years, and in the last days of the Ming Dynasty, we spent almost all of our money to fund those rebels, and we have only one purpose, to get back what belongs to us!"

In the end, the deal went well, and we did get the things back, but it wasn't over, and at that time, Xuanmen realized that it all seemed to have just begun! ”

"You're good, that ultimate secret? Do you think I know it? Then you couldn't be more wrong, I don't know, and almost no one knows! Tong Chou said, "But don't worry, this matter will soon be known to everyone!" The reason why the Ming Dynasty failed to solve this secret in two hundred years is only because of the time problem! If they continue for another 300 years, they may be able to see it! ”

Zhang Yunfan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What do you mean...... This ultimate secret, like a ticking time bomb? It's not time for anyone to untie it? And now it's very close to the opening of this secret? ”

Tong Chou's hand trembled slightly, and a whimper came out of his throat: "Yes!"
