In the backyard of Qiantang County, the room is as light as a bean.

"Xi Yuanda shouldn't have died like this......"

Gu Yun shook his head, no matter what the cause of this conflict was, he would be obligated to participate in this treacherous battle if he came to uphold the will of the family, secondly for the sake of Xu You's friend, and thirdly, for the sake of the people who had died to ask for his life. But killing Xi Yuanda was not his original intention, Gu Yun was happy to know his fate, indulged in painting, and returned to the natural realm with an open-minded temperament, if it wasn't for the situation, he really didn't want to let the hands of painting be stained with blood.

"Xi Yuanda is innocent of death, and he has to die, the arrow is on the string, if he doesn't send it, he will hurt himself, why should the Ming Mansion mind?"

Bao Xi didn't want Gu Yun to be involved at first, in his heart, although Gu Yun was extremely smart, he was not ready, officialdom has never been where tenderness lies, every step is thorny, killing machines are everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may lose your life. So as soon as they met, they ignored the past friendship and warned He Wei with evil words, in order to give Gu Yun more time, so that he could hone his mind in the position of the Qiantang County Commander, but he didn't expect Xu You's arrival, Zhan Wenjun's resistance, and the game between Zhan and Heavenly Master Dao, so that everything became out of the original plan,

Therefore, he had to go to Mingyu Mountain alone, and after knowing all the layouts of He Wei, after careful consideration, he made a detailed report to the Gu family. For various reasons, the Gu clan finally agreed that Gu Yun would participate in the name of Qiantang County, but he must control the development of the situation, and he could not completely offend the Heavenly Master Dao, or he could not let the Heavenly Master Dao have an excuse to launch a counterattack.

Therefore, Xi Yuanda has to die, if he doesn't die, it will be difficult for Du Jingzhi to get out, Du Jingzhi can't get out, Sun Guan can't give up for the sake of face or for the unity within the Heavenly Master Dao, and it will inevitably cause unpredictable losses at that time.

The imperial court, the king, the crown prince, the gate valve, the heavenly master and the Buddhist sect are in an extremely fragile balance on this winter day in the eleventh year of Yong'an, and if they are not careful, they may become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, causing violent turmoil and power change in all aspects.

Even in the eyes of some talented people who are scheming the world, this kind of turmoil is destined to happen, but it is not now, nor is it touched by a small person like Xu You and Gu Yun, the time is not right, everyone is not ready!

Still have to wait!

Wait for an opportunity!

Gu Yun didn't agree with Bao Xi's words, and said: "Xi Yuanda committed murder without permission, and it is true that he is innocent of death, but he must also be questioned, checked and understood, and then he will be punished by Si Ming and killed to make an example to the world." Like now, it would be harmful to the heavens and ...... to trap them in a desperate situation first, and then force them to be rounded up and killed."

Bao Xi's mind moved, and said: "This plan is all planned by Xu Langjun. I watched him act vigorously and resolutely, and it was really not a thing in the pool, and the Ming Mansion intersected with it, which would be of great benefit to the future. ”

As soon as this remark came out, Gu Yun was greatly displeased, although he didn't like trickery, and he didn't bother to read people's hearts, but his talent was too smart, and he knew the meaning of elegance when he heard the string songs, and he didn't understand the hidden meaning of Bao Xi's words, and said: "The gods and immortals of Wei, even if there are such cities and means, he doesn't bother to use them." Didn't you say that He Wei, the mastermind next to Weizhi, was the real mastermind behind the scenes, why did he change his words now? ”

Bao Xi was too jealous of He You, and deep down he was very reluctant for Gu Yun and Xu You to get too close, so he praised him on the surface, but in fact, he deliberately wanted Gu Yun to be disgusted with Xu You, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating and make Gu Yun unhappy.

"The lesson of the Ming Mansion is that the subordinates are gaffes!"

Bao Xi faintly admitted his mistake, his eyes passed through the sky of the county government, projected on the Mingyu Mountain in the distance, and his eyes narrowed quietly. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Do you want to know if the Ming Mansion wants to know, how did Xu You bury the stone carving of the half of Yuanyang Lu in the other courtyard?"

Gu Yun was also curious, and said: "I heard that after the county lieutenant Du dug up the stone carvings of Yuanyang Lu, more than a thousand people outside the door knelt down and kowtowed, is it true, that courtyard was standing on the shore of Qiantang Lake when the mixed yuan appeared?"

"I don't know if it's a mixed yuan manifestation, but I heard Zhan Wenjun say with my own ears that the stone carving was indeed buried by her in advance...... I'm just wondering, although there are only eight purple-clothed child servants in the courtyard all year round, these eight people are good at martial arts, how can they secretly bury stone carvings without alarming them, this is not an easy task...... Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to tell the Ming Mansion," Bao Xi took out a piece of rubbing paper, presented it in front of Gu Yun, and said, "This is the word from the stone carving......"

"Wow!"

Gu Yun's eyes lit up, he stood up, snatched it away, and went to the candlestick to watch, the more he looked, the more fascinated he became, and he couldn't help but shout: "Good words!" Then he said categorically to Bao Xi: "Where is the stone carving, I want to see it now!"

Different from the silence in the county government, Mingyu Mountain is brightly lit tonight, the slaves walk back and forth between the various courtyards, and there are people on the mountain trails with wine, food and food, which have been suppressed for too long, after winning the first step of victory, enjoy a short period of joy, which can not only ease the tension of many subordinates of the Guo Mansion, but also let everyone see the dawn of perseverance in despair.

"The word 'Yuanyang' is engraved on the stone of Yuanyang Lu, what kind of book style do you use? The bones of heaven are beautiful, the fun is hazy, the knots are dredged, and they are very different from the world, I have never seen or heard of them. "At the beginning, Zuo Yi has been in charge of the stone carving, from the selection of stone carving to the old, to the imitation of the word Yuanyang in Xu You's own book, He Wei did not ask, and naturally he has not seen it. It wasn't until the stone carvings were excavated that we were able to get a glimpse of it.

Xu You smiled: "Since it is a book written by Lao Tzu, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and the body of the book has never been seen in the world, isn't it a matter of course?"

He Wei scoffed, he was only interested in calligraphy, and didn't care too much, since Xu You was so mysterious, he didn't bother to ask, picked up a glass of slush wine, closed his eyes and tasted it slowly, quite a wise man's crazy style. But the frost is different, she grew up in Qingle Building, to learn piano music, but also to learn calligraphy and painting, and in Yuan's Confucianism for many years, the love of calligraphy is almost an instinctive reaction, so the topic is full of interest, said: "It is said that Lao Tzu once served as a historian of the Zhou Dynasty, riding a green ox out of Guguan and becoming an immortal, there is no authentic work in the world, how did Lang Jun learn Lao Tzu's book?"

Zhan Wenjun sat aside, his jade-like eyes rolled on Xu You's face, and said: "Wenjun doesn't understand calligraphy, but looking at many famous masters in the previous dynasty, the best is nothing more than a calligraphy." Lang Jun's previous words are almost technical, but he can find a unique way to create a new book style that has never been seen in ancient and modern times, which really makes Wen Jun admire! ”

Xu You can talk nonsense to He Wei, but in the face of Zhan Wenjun, he still can't be so arbitrary, and said, "Don't dare to be!" I found this kind of book by chance in an ancient book, and I copied it for a while, but it was still immature and imperfect, but unfortunately it was destroyed by fire and never seen again. In order to remember the sages, I gave it a name myself, called Skinny Golden Book! ”

Zhao Ji of Song Huizong first studied Huang Tingjian, and later learned from Chu Suiliang, Xue Ji and Xue Yao brothers, and mixed with each family, taking everyone's strengths and unique ideas, and finally created a unique "thin gold book", which is good at rhyme and taste, which is different from all previous book styles. Xu You copied a paragraph when he was studying, but he still liked Wang Xizhi after all, so he had seven points for learning Wang Shu and only five points for learning thin gold books. It's just that Wang Xizhi's book style is close to the current world, and there are traces to be found, while the thin gold book has been separated by hundreds of years, and the changes are so great that it is enough to make He Wei and others breathtaking.

Xu You said secretly in his heart: I'm sorry Brother Zhao, I'll borrow your name to use it first, presumably with your talent, without the thin gold book, you can still create a fat silver book, don't worry about me.

"Skinny gold?" Her beautiful eyes rippled, and she said, "The word is good, the name is better!" How thoughtful is she, knowing that Xu You is just using ancient books to express humility, if such an outstanding book style is a calligrapher who lives in seclusion in the mountains and is willing to be lonely, it may still become a pearl of the world.

She smiled and did not expose Xu You, as a slave, this bit of knowledge is still there!

Zhan Wenjun chuckled, but refused to let go of Xu You, and said: "I don't know if Lang Jun still remembers the name of that ancient book, I am willing to spread the money and ask for Lang Jun to copy it."

Xu You opened his mouth and was speechless. Zhan Wenjun and Lu Shuang glanced at each other, and at the same time covered their mouths and smiled, almost sitting down. The beauties come in pairs, each good at winning, it really makes people don't know where they are!

He Wei also finished drinking a glass of slush wine at this time, watched Xu You talk to Zhan Wenjun coldly, and suddenly interjected: "If you kill Xi Yuanda today, Du Jingzhi will definitely be furious, and how to deal with the Assassin Mansion and the Heavenly Master Dao next, you have to look up to Gu Yun to come forward to negotiate." He can go directly to the Chen Imperial Court, which is much more convenient than me, Qilang, you have to go to this Gu Ming Mansion again tomorrow and make friends with him, so as not to get angry with the scholar and ruin our big things......"

Xu You nodded and said, "You and Bao Xi have already talked clearly enough, I don't think Feiqing will have any more resistance...... Moreover, killing Xi Yuanda was forced by the situation, and it had to be done, and it was also one of the conditions for Zhu Gumen to accept this plan. However, this person is murderous, and getting rid of him is a big harm for the people of Yangzhou, Feiqing will definitely understand and will not be harsh on me. ”

The Zhu family initially sent Zhu Rui to assist Zhan Wenjun, but they didn't want to ruin Zhan's foundation, and at the same time had the intention of protecting Zhan Wenjun's personal safety, but they didn't really decide to break with Du Jingzhi. Later, the situation gradually developed, and Du Jingzhi began to be at a disadvantage, which also made Zhu see an opportunity to take advantage of, so he actively participated in depth. In addition, after receiving Bao Xi's report, the Gu family also moved their minds under the persuasion of the Zhu family, the four surnames of Wu County belong to one, and it has become a habit to help each other for many years, so they joined forces to give Du Jingzhi a profound lesson that cannot be forgotten.

That's why there was that scene during the day, Bao Xi pressed Xi Yuanda step by step on behalf of the government, while Zhu Rui made a public appearance and killed Xi Yuanda with a knife in full view of everyone.

It is not difficult to kill Xi Yuanda, but it is rare to be justified in how to kill. He is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary clan, or that he is a calamity-eliminating spirit official of the Heavenly Master Dao, wearing a religious coat, and naturally has a special protective color, and the price to pay for killing him is too great.

But Xu You's plan was seamless, and in the name of the White Snake, he uncovered the bloody deeds of the Heavenly Master Dao Yangzhou Zhi occupying Yuanyang Jinglu, secretly plundering the people's daughters, and killing people and burying corpses after wanton torture. This kind of thing is an earth-shattering case in any dynasty, not to mention that An Zidao has always been benevolent and righteous and loves the people, and after receiving the report, he will inevitably be furious, and the consequences of killing Xi Yuanda will no longer be so conspicuous and important in the emperor's anger.

And killing Xi Yuanda is also good for the Heavenly Master Dao, all the charges can be pushed on his head alone, a dead disaster elimination spirit official, his identity is not high or low, and he is undoubtedly the best target to carry the black cauldron. In this way, Du Jingzhi still has some hope that he can get out - of course, with such a big scandal, he can't sit on the throne of Yangzhou Sacrificial Wine, but he can save a life, at least let Sun Guan's face get by. Otherwise, if it is entangled, Sun Guan will not and cannot abandon Du Jingzhi and make a fierce counterattack, and the consequences will not be bearable even by the emperor.

Therefore, no matter which aspect you look at, Xi Yuanda is actually bound to die, which is his sadness, and it is also the sadness of many self-righteous little people.

It's just that they are in the game, and they themselves don't know this!
