Chapter 118 "Parting Ways"
The meaning in Sima Zhengqing's mouth couldn't be more obvious, the Shuangsheng Gate did not welcome them, and they left quickly after eating.
How could Zhuge Haochu not hear what he meant, although he was old and in the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, but in front of Sima Zhengqing, he only dared to call himself a junior, and Sima Zhengqing invited them to go down the mountain after eating for several weeks, and he did not directly drive them out to give enough face. It stands to reason that Zhuge Haochu should take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and leave, but he hesitated for a moment and saluted Sima Zhengqing: "Thank you Sima Sect Master for your hospitality, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the younger generation also wants to appreciate the infinite scenery of Ling Feng." ”
"Zhuge Alliance Master, please."
"It's just that I don't know the road on the mountain......"
"Xin'er, you lead the way for the leader of the Zhuge Alliance."
Sima Zheng saw through Zhuge Haochu's mind early in the morning, and had no intention of entanglement with him in this matter, and walked towards the inner hall after speaking, Zhong Yuan gestured to everyone and followed in.
In this way, Xiao Xinyi felt even more embarrassed, walked to Zhuge Haochu's side and said, "Zhuge Alliance leader, please first." Zhuge Haochu looked at her kindly and nodded, and walked out first, followed by Duan Chen. Xiao Xinyi looked at the backs of the two of them and was about to chase them, when his hand was suddenly held, Xiao Xinyi panicked, and looked back at the back with a weak heart, except for Taiyi Rescue Tianzun, there were only two people left in the empty hall, she and Zhuge Qinghong. But she still felt that she had been snooped on, and she didn't care that her hand was still held in the palm of Zhuge Qinghong's hand, and she walked out quickly. By the time the two of them left the Sky Palace, they couldn't see the shadows of Zhuge Haochu and Duan Chen.
"There's no need to look for it, my father is just walking around, and he'll be back soon."
How could Xiao Xinyi not understand that this was an opportunity deliberately created by Zhuge Haochu for the two of them, so he nodded slightly and did not speak.
Zhuge Qinghong stepped forward, Xiao Xinyi wanted to withdraw his hand from his hand, but the more she struggled, the tighter Zhuge Qinghong clenched.
"Xin'er, let me hold it for a while, just for a while, okay."
The sound of jade hitting each other was full of three points of pleading, Xiao Xinyi glanced at him, although he didn't speak, he stopped the movement in his hand. Zhuge Qinghong pulled the corners of his mouth and walked forward with her.
"Xin'er, I've been persuading my father not to join forces with Falling Moon Villa these days, will you blame me?"
"No, it won't."
"My father wasn't an autocratic man, but I don't know why he was so stubborn this time."
"Master has already made a decision, we will go down the mountain in the near future to pacify the victims, and not let this riot continue to expand, Master He does not want to see the people suffer from the war, and I do not want to."
"I thought you'd like to see the court lose power today."
"I naturally want to see it, but compared to this, I would prefer to see the people live and work in peace and contentment, and I think there can be other ways to take revenge, but once the war breaks out, there is no turning back."
Zhuge Qinghong stopped, looked at Xiao Xinyi for a long time and said in a low voice: "It's my fault, it's me who thinks too narrowly." ”
"You're just putting yourself in my shoes too much." After Xiao Xinyi finished speaking, he took out a dark token from his sleeve pocket and said: "I'm sorry, I broke my promise, when I joined Qingxiao Hall, I said that I would cooperate with every action you take, but I can't cooperate with this operation, I want to go down the mountain with Master to appease the victims." ”
Zhuge Qinghong took the token in her hand and was silent for a while. Xiao Xinyi looked at his gloomy expression and felt a little flustered, was he angry? Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhuge Qinghong say: "I will keep this token for you for the time being, I know your current situation and difficulties, and after everything has passed, you will still be the deputy hall master of Qingxiao Hall." After saying that, he solemnly put the token in his sleeve pocket.
Xiao Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't care if she was the deputy hall master, as long as Zhuge Qinghong was not angry.
In the Sky Palace, Sima Zhengqing and Zhong Yuan stood by the window, their expressions were different, and they watched Xiao Xinyi and Zhuge Qinghong turn the corner of the path hand in hand and could no longer see it, before they retracted their gaze.
"Zhuge Haochu is determined to cooperate with the Falling Moon Villa, although he does not have the 'Five Lakes Order,' but in the past ten years, he has also cultivated a lot of his own forces, and the people in the martial arts are also looking forward to Zhuge Villa, this riot, the martial arts will inevitably be implicated again, we should not act too obviously now, we can only act in the shadows, and the disciples sent to find the Five Lakes Order can be discovered."
"Back to Master, not for the time being. The people of Falling Moon Mountain Villa are also looking around for the 'Five Lakes Order'. ”
"Who did the 'Five Lakes Order' fall into after it was lost from Jiang Yunkai's hands, he has not moved in the past ten years, what thoughts has he had."
"The 'Five Lakes Order' has not been issued, and the people in the rivers and lakes can not be commanded by anyone, in addition to being afraid of the strength of Zhuge Villa for so many years, the people in the martial arts are also trying to live in peace before they unanimously support Zhuge Haochu, and now Zhuge Haochu insists on joining forces with Luoyue Villa, but I am afraid that most people will not follow."
"Send a few more disciples to find it, even if you can't find it, you can't let the people of Falling Moon Mountain Villa find it first."
"It's Master, I'll arrange it."
"Has Elder Su already left for Cangchen Kingdom?"
"It's already gone."
"There you go."
With Zhong Yuan leaving, the inner hall of the Lingkong Hall returned to a deathly silence, Sima Zhengqing stood by the window and still didn't move, just watched the mountains of trees blown by the wind like waves layer after layer of ups and downs, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, but who cares if the wind is willing to go over the mountains and make waves.
Zhuge Haochu did eat lunch and then went down the mountain, accompanied by Zhong Yuan and Xiao Xinyi during the banquet, and Sima Zhengqing did not attend. The meal was eaten very slowly, Zhuge Haochu said a few words to Zhong Yuan from time to time, and asked him some questions about the Double Holy Gate and the martial arts, Zhong Yuan answered without leakage, so that people could not find faults, but asking again was the same as not asking.
Several people at the banquet knew that the next time they met after this meal, they would already be on the opposite side, although the Shuangshengmen did not take a stand, but Zhuge Haochu couldn't see that the Shuangshengmen was on the side of the current imperial court. They may not be enemies, but they are never allies.
During the banquet, Zhuge Haochu swept towards Xiao Xinyi and Zhuge Qinghong from time to time, and saw that the two of them bowed their heads to eat and did not communicate, and they had no intention of talking to Zhong Yuan at the moment. Hu Guyue's carefully prepared meal was withdrawn almost untouched. After Zhong Yuan received a letter, he left in a hurry, and before leaving, he asked Xiao Xinyi to send the Zhuge League leader down the mountain on his behalf. Xiao Xinyi sighed in his heart and responded. A group of four people walked slowly to the main gate of the Sky Palace, and Zhuge Haochu stopped to ask Xiao Xinyi.
"Xin'er, would you like to go down the mountain with us.
