Chapter 500: Cross-examination
Wen Lan turned around and saw a middle-aged man pacing into the hall. This person was dressed in a water-colored robe, wearing a scarf, holding a purple bamboo fan, and there was no ornament on his body, except for a colorful Luo Ying hanging from his waist.
When the man saw Wen Lan, he smiled and saluted, and said, "Mr. Yang, don't come to harm?" ”
Wen Lan was stunned when she heard this, thinking that she had never seen this person, so she had to respond vaguely: "I am old and frail, and I don't remember when I met my husband." ”
Seeing that Wen Lan couldn't think of it, the man didn't care at all, and only smiled: "If you don't worry about it, it's all old things, so what's the matter if you can't remember it." Since Mr. Yang was thirsty, he invited him to drink tea. It's just that in my mountain wilderness, there is no good tea to serve. ”
Between the words, the child has already served the tea, but before the lid is opened, the fragrance of tea is already overflowing.
Wen Lan has never liked to drink this kind of tea with an exposed aroma, but she is really thirsty, and she is not picky at the moment, so she raised the teacup and drank it slightly.
Unexpectedly, the tea smelled very fragrant, but when it was drunk in the throat, it was bitter.
Wen Lan couldn't help but wonder: "How can this tea be the taste of evil crows?" ”
The scholar let out an "oh" and said, "It turns out that Mr. Yang tasted a crow, and my tea is called homesick tea, which has a wonderful benefit." As long as it is homesick, then the taste of tea in the mouth will turn into the taste of hometown tea to relieve homesickness. ”
"Oh? There is such a strange tea in the world. ”
After the little boy served the teacup, he came up with a plate of fruit, and Wen Lan was even more surprised when he saw it.
"I didn't expect that there would be sea buckthorn fruit from Imulan in this Binzhou land?"
The scholar still smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Yang is really homesick......
Wen Lan secretly wondered, could it be that this fruit was also made of some kind of homesick fruit?
"When I stepped into the hall, I saw Mr. Yang reading the ancient books on the shelves. I really don't have many good books here, and Mr. Yang is well-read, so he probably thinks those books are boring, right? ”
Wen Lan has always spoken straightforwardly, and said: "I have a younger brother who knows a lot about tea tasting on weekdays, so when I picked up the book "Ancient Tea Sutra" and turned a few pages, I suddenly thought that if my brother was here today, he would definitely love this book. ”
In a word, it not only shows that he is not interested, but also does not devalue the ancient books of the owner of the bamboo house.
The scholar nodded again and again: "Don't hide it from Mr. Yang, this book is already a unique book, it is very precious, and I got it by chance." However, Mr. Yang does not have to regret it, although Brother Ling is not here today, there are countless opportunities to taste the world's famous tea in the future, so he doesn't have to care about the present. ”
Wen Lan listened to the words of the owner of the bamboo house as if she knew gentleness, vaguely strange, and just wanted to ask, but then was asked: "What about the back book "Blue Sea and Flame Record"? ”
"That book...... There are many mysteries, there are places where the mouth is suddenly opened, and there are also places where the unknown square is round. If you can give me some advice......"
"Hahaha, that's serious. Dare to ask Mr. Yang, do you know how many volumes there are in this book? ”
"How many volumes?" Wen Lan was stunned, "I only saw one volume." There are still other fascicles. ”
"Well, although this book is called "Blue Sea and Flame Record", there is more than one volume. But I can't say how many volumes there are. It is necessary to know that the past is history, and those who have names and surnames in history can be included in the register. I don't know how many volumes I've written before, and I don't know how many more I'll write after that. It's just a cycle of cause and effect, and the cycle repeats itself, and the trick is sung again under a different name. ”
Wen Lan felt that this was very meaningful, and asked tentatively, "Has the gentleman read the things in the book?" ”
"Read."
"Did you read the chapter below?"
The scholar laughed and said, "Mr. Yang? No, there is no character surnamed Yang in that book. ”
Wen Lan was not embarrassed when she heard this, this seemed to refer to his deliberate use of a fake name, but she didn't completely say it, so she had to laugh twice.
He suddenly thought about it, and then asked, "Then dare to ask Mr. himself, but he is also a person in the book?" ”
The scholar nodded.
Wen Lanqi said: "I have read a lot just now, and there is no one I don't know, how come I haven't seen the chapter of Mr.?" ”
"Mr. Xu is Mr. Yang looked at it too quickly, or thought he knew, so he flipped it over again."
Wen Lan thought to herself, that was possible, nodded and said:
I don't know who the author of this book is, but he can have such a clear insight into the affairs of the world. If this person is willing to assist Ming Jun, he must be a rare talent who will stabilize the country. ”
The scholar shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily. There are countless wise people in this world, and the one who is the best in the world is the Cangwu Muyun clan, but even if it is two generations of Taishifu, it has not been able to make the Cangwu country dominate the world, not to mention the author of such a history book, at most it is just a paper talk, and what is the peace and stability of the country? ”
"It is true that the Muyun clan is the best in the world, but the Cangwu country cannot dominate the world because he is not the only one in the world. Moreover, the Mu Yun clan was in the same room, and the contradictions were fighting each other, and the so-called secret crossing strategy set up by the former Taishi Mu Yunduo was just empty talk in the end. If you turn to assist my Imuran country, I am afraid that the world has been leveled for a long time, and how can there be disputes in this world. ”
"Oh? Empty talk? The scholar obviously disagreed, "Even if Mu Yunduo has been an ancient man for many years, how does Mr. Yang know that this world will not be Mu Yun's world in the future?" As the saying goes, if you lose your horse and know the blessing and the curse, the situation that seems to be a complete defeat may not be without a turnaround. Just like on the Hanjiang River, the Imuran army is numerous, and the blue sea is outnumbered, but in one day, the situation is reversed, and the victory and defeat are reversed, did Mr. Yang ever expect it? ”
Wen Lan was suddenly poked in the sore spot, and her heart suddenly became angry, and she said loudly: "Sir's words are wrong, my Imuran was defeated by Bihai not because the enemy was too strong, but because the Eagle Clan secretly plotted to attack back and forth, so I lost the chance to win." If it weren't for the Eagle Blood Clan cutting off my back road, how would I have fallen into such a situation? ”
"Oh? So dare to ask Mr. Yang, why do the eagle blood clans secretly plot? ”
"Because ......" Wen Lan was already angry when she said this, and waved her hand and said: "Forget it, the three clans have been grudges for a long time, how can they be said in one or two sentences." ”
However, the owner of the bamboo house still asked: "Then why is it difficult to resolve the grievances between the three clans?" ”
Wen Lan frowned when she was said, and asked rhetorically, "Does Mr. know why?" ”
"Yes, because of the great witch god of Imulan."
Wen Lan almost couldn't hold back her anger, even if she came to give a cup of tea, she couldn't be so open-mouthed and speak disrespectfully to her face.
However, he was patient after all, and asked coldly, "What does it have to do with that great witch god?" ”
"Does Mr. Yang know that the Great Witch God set up three kings and one occupation system when the position of the lord of the country was vacant?"
"Yes. If it weren't for the three kings and one occupation system, how could the three tribes of the Imuran Kingdom be kept safe for decades? ”
"Hahahaha." The owner of the bamboo hut burst out laughing, and his laughter was full of disdain: "Keep everything safe?" If it really happened, where would the two Blood Eagle clans turn against each other today? The three kings occupy it, and it seems that the well water does not interfere with the river water, and it has maintained peace for several years, but it is like a sharp blade, completely cutting off the relationship between the three clans. And freezing three feet is not a day's cold, this break is decades, and no matter how small the grudge is, it has accumulated over the years and become an insoluble hatred. Originally...... The position of the lord of the country is vacant, it is a good opportunity to resolve disputes between the three clans, that big witch god has to engage in some bullshit three kings and one occupation system, to put it bluntly, he has to listen to him when he works, and don't make noise when he quarrels. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world? Peace and quiet is only temporary, and at a critical juncture, once there is a chance to fall into the well, how can the two Blood Eagle clans let it go? ”
Wen Lan was scolded to the point of blood, but cold sweat oozed from her back. Although this scholar said mercilessly, every word hit the nail on the head, all of which pointed directly to the key point of the three kings and one occupation system.
"It's ridiculous that the great witch god thinks that he is a ghost, but he doesn't know the truth that if he is outside, he must first settle inside, he just uses his hands to control the lord of the country and is in a high position, and he only thinks about transferring the people of the three clans to deal with Bihai. This is like a person who is weak and has not yet recuperated, so he is anxious to go to the ground to plow the soil and plant seedlings, even if the seedlings are planted, the foundation is unstable and weak, and in the end he can't even protect himself. ”
Wen Lan finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and said sharply: "Sir's words are wrong, there are external enemies to cohesion." With the blue sea, the three clans can work together to do a great cause, otherwise they can only bite back and forth for the one acre and three points of land in the northern desert, although the great witch god of Imuran does not dare to say that the strategy is a hundred shots, but at least until yesterday there is no miscalculation. If you abandon the Hanjiang River from the beginning and only meet the enemy on land, whether it is the blue sea or the cangwu, can you still have a chance of winning? ”
Seeing Wen Lan's voice getting higher, the owner of the bamboo house knew that he was angry, and smiled slightly: "So Mr. Yang still doesn't understand what I mean." Even if Imuran wins today, occupying the vast blue sea on both sides of the Hanjiang River, is it really the unification of the world? ”
Wen Lan was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"The unification of the world is not the territory, but the hearts of the people. If the world is conquered, but the Eagle Clan still returns to the Eagle Clan, the Cangwu returns to the Cangwu, the Blood Clan still goes to plunder, the Blade Clan still goes to sell slaves, and the three kings and one occupation become five kings and one occupation or even eight kings and one occupation, isn't the result the same? I heard that the great witch god is still not used to drinking tea other than evil crows, if he occupies the tea garden behind Emperor Wen's Evergreen Palace, is he planning to burn it all? I also heard that he plans to give up Baodi City to the Blood Clan, and keep the Eagle Clan in Xitai Mountain, does this still mean a bit of unification? ”
"What if not?"
The owner of the bamboo house asked rhetorically, "Have you ever heard that the eldest princess of the blood clan built a small village in the valley east of Linzhou?" ”
"Qi Chu?" Wen Lan was a little surprised, and she didn't know why she suddenly mentioned this woman, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"The eldest princess of the blood clan gathered together the fugitives of the Blade clan and some other clans of Imulans to build a village, and she made herself the village head."
