"I made two mistakes, Gongji."

"What is it?"

Jieyou looked at Xun Huan uneasily, since he came back from visiting Yun Chongbo yesterday, he has never drunk, not even a drop.

"The first is that Zigong is not prepared to keep his promise to me at all."

had agreed with Zigong that Zigong could let go and destroy Yun Chongbo's loyalty to Taiping Dao, but outside of that, he had to keep the part of Xia Yun Chongbo as a human being, and he could not be torn apart into the walking dead.

"The loyalty of the undead to the Taiping Dao cannot be destroyed, because ...... What he is loyal to is not Taiping at all. ”

In the process of visiting, he accidentally met Xiao Wenshuang, although he did not introduce his identity clearly, but with the power of "Zai Yu" to read people, half a glance is enough to see the relationship between the two.

"In other words, it is useless to destroy the loyalty of the undead to the Taiping Dao, as long as the woman is loyal to the Taiping Dao, he ...... will definitely be loyal to the Taiping Road! ”

Discovering this, Xun Huan was extremely uneasy, because he knew that he was serious about making a contract with Zigong, and he also knew that Zigong must know his seriousness.

"So, do you think Zigong will definitely come to fight you?"

"If you hadn't visited the undead, it should have been."

The moment he saw Xiao Wenshuang, Zai Yu had already understood that a battle between himself and Zigong would be inevitable, and he would never wait for Zigong to solve Yun Chongbo before fighting, and Zigong would never risk letting himself get involved when dealing with Yun Chongbo.

Therefore, Zai Yu returned to the grass house very early, fasted drinking, slept peacefully, and adjusted carefully, in his judgment, Zigong would not give himself much time to prepare.

"I always thought that this morning was the time for us to fight again."

"But?"

There is no need to point it out directly, because the sun has risen very high, but Zigong has not yet appeared.

"That's my second mistake."

Looking up with a wry smile, Xun Huan's eyes were unwillingness and arrogance, but they were even more open-minded and free.

"I didn't expect that, for Zigong...... There are more important opponents than me. ”

Confidence will not mistake Zigong, then, when the opponent is delayed, there can only be one explanation.

"I don't believe it, but ...... It's going to be like that. ”

It is believed that Zigong will fight another battlefield, and he must first subdue the opponent who does not know who, and then he will come to find Zai Yu and solve him.

"He's always been like this, when he's done with the calculations, he dares to do whatever the surprise is, but this time, he's wrong."

I am confident that even if someone can be more proficient in speech and heart refining than himself, he will never know Zigong better than himself, and he will never ...... From the slightest residual wind, you can smell the fishy smell that Zigong is approaching!

"So, you're going to take the initiative to find Zigong now?"

Nodding silently, Xun Huan said that it would not be glorious, because at least it would be a wheel war, and it was even possible that he would intervene in the battle before the other person fell.

"Of course, Zigong won't let this happen, but as long as he makes 'arrangements', my chances of winning will increase."

The mind was finally decided, Xun Huan refused Jieyu's persuasion and set off to go down the mountain.

(Zigong...... Decades of acquaintance, ten years of competition, today, all of them will be broken! ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How does the gentleman know?"

The smile was still sweet, but there was no timidity that was always draped outside, Xiaoyin asked while sitting up straight, just such a simple action, but Zigong had faintly felt the pressure projected from the opposite side.

“…… Want to ask a question? OK. ”

Zigong said solemnly: "As long as you ask the right question." ”

Before he finished speaking, Xiaoyin said early: "I won't save either." ”

Looking at Zigong, Xiaoyin smiled slightly and said, "Because I don't know how to water." ”

The pupils contracted suddenly, and at this moment, Zigong finally confirmed that the woman on the other side, who was as weak as spring grass, had been prepared for this moment, and her understanding of herself was probably more than she expected.

“…… Very good. ”

Silently staring at Xiaoyin for a while, Zigong suddenly said: "If you want to know, you can ask." ”

With his hands crossed, Xiaoyin said lightly: "Then?" ”

"Ask, answer, answer, ask. Until you can't ask or answer. ”

"That's ......"

With a slight smile, Xiaoyin stood up and said: "Our women are born to lie, and they are born to lie, and there may not be a single truth in the ten sentences. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although the exchange with Shi Futu made Yun Chongbo's head dizzy, but the fight with the thief made him feel a lot more comfortable, and when he returned to Xiaohuaxuan, he heard Xiao Wenshuang say that he had decided to leave Jinguan as soon as possible. In terms of arrangement, it was Xiao Wenshuang and He Lingbing who protected Yun Chongbo and left through the mountain road, and as for Xiaoyin, who was inconvenient to go, it was taken by Hua Shengrong and slowly went south, anyway, they would not be taken by Zigong in their eyes.

Of course, Hua Shengrong shook his hand and shook his head at this decision, but when Xiao Wenshuang and He Lingbing's eyes intertwined...... That, it can make a bowl of boiling water freeze instantly, and it's not just Hua Shengrong's tongue?

I didn't expect this action to escape Zigong's eyes, but Xiao Wenshuang estimated that the strongest force in Zigong's hands was only Zilu alone, and the rest that could be counted on was nothing more than Jinguan's regular army, even if coupled with the possible support provided by the Sima family, the Ma family and the Su family, it would be very difficult to stop Yun Xiaohe and the three of them, who were going all out.

"Hmm...... All right. ”

It is true that he has been entangled in Jinguan for too long, but when this decision was finally made, Yun Chongbo had an indescribable sense of loss, although it was like nothing, but it lingered.

(If you go away like this, can you still dream of the things of the Little Heavenly Kingdom again?) ）

Although there is reluctance, but weighing the severity, Yun Chongbo also knows that the current situation, it is true that he can no longer be delayed by himself, Zigong's lack of action does not mean that he will stop there, as soon as he thinks of what kind of headache he has been given, and after listening to Xiao Wenshuang's introduction, Yun Chongbo feels that it is indeed time to go.

"It's a strange name, though."

I don't know much about Confucian history, but I can be regarded as having read the Analects and read the biographies of his disciples, Yun Chongbo has been very puzzled since he heard the name of "Zigong", this is obviously the name of the earliest backbone of Confucianism, why, will he be active in the present and hunt down himself?

"Hmm...... Confucianism is well-known for its thick and thin past, and it pays attention to 'telling but not doing', so there is a system of 'ancient names', the so-called 'Zigong', which is what it means. ”

"Uh, that's it?"

Although he felt that this seemed to conflict with the "avoidance" advocated by Confucianism himself, Yun Chongbo was also acceptable, and it also made him clear about another matter.

"That is to say, I heard it right when I was in the snowy region, what you said at that time in Jiutian was indeed 'Yan Hui'?"

Only then did I understand that the "Lu Xiucai" I knew was actually "Yan Hui", one of the most senior cadres of Confucianism, and along this topic, Jiutian also recalled his original suspicions.

"What do you say, the immortal can actually 'Analects'?!"

Xiao Wenshuang was shocked, and Yun Chongbo was even more confused about this. "What do you say, Analects...... Analects?! ”

Even people who have little understanding of Confucianism should know the prestige of "Half of the Treatise on Ruling the World", not to mention the cloud rushing waves who have experienced the dream of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, and have a deep understanding of the Confucian strongmen several times. No matter how you think about it, I don't think that Yan Hui will teach himself this first Confucian divine skill, let alone that he can learn this Confucian first divine skill unconsciously.

"Xiucai taught me to call it 'Disciple Rules', which is not the same thing as 'Analects', you are indeed wrong in Jiutian."

“…… Whatever you want. ”

With a wry smile, He Lingbing changed the topic, and then Yun Chongbo's previous question introduced him to Zigong.

said that it was an "introduction", but in fact, the two of them couldn't say much, except for re-describing the horror that Yuqing had said, where Zigong's power lies, why Zigong can tear people's hearts and other joints, all of them are indebted.

"This man...... We really don't know much about it. ”

With a wry smile, Xiao Wenshuang said that there is no way to do this, after all, "Zigong" itself is one of the biggest mysteries of Confucianism, and when Confucianism, which has the strongest intelligence power in the world, focuses on making someone virtual, even if it is the Ao Wang family who is close to it, he may not be able to know more.

"You can't use force against him...... Because, that will be exchanged for Confucianism's revenge at all costs, hell, can you just watch him do bad to you? ”

In Yun Chongbo's opinion, this is obviously very unreasonable, and it is also very funny, for most people, if they know that Zigong is going to drive themselves crazy, then before he falls, he has to slash him.

"However, at that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to cut people at all."

He Lingbing explained that this was more of a balance that Confucianism painstakingly pursued, and as for Zigong himself, it was not so much that he was "not afraid of being threatened by force" as that he never allowed himself to be "threatened by force." ”

"In short, Zigong's ability to calculate the situation and grasp the situation should be the first person in today's Confucian sect, if he finds something wrong, he will go faster than anyone else."

"In that case, doesn't that mean that we can't do anything with him?"

"Well, not really."

According to the records of Taiping Dao and Yuqing's judgment, although Zigong can set off any kind of rumors, and can also tear up the hearts of any random person, but after all, he is still a human body, not a demon, and to do these things, there must always be corresponding resources to pay.

"Excessive operation of rumors, which requires a large amount of intelligence and the bet of human and material resources, will consume the credibility of the Confucian grassroots network, and at the same time, this effect will not last long."

Just like the story of the wolf, repeated operations will only make the people eventually feel numb to the rumors, and at the same time, a giant organization such as Taiping Dao can counteract its effect through unified reverse propaganda, in other words, when Zigong manipulates the world at the macro level, it is admittedly terrifying, but it is not invincible, and what really makes people feel elusive is his ability to tear people's hearts apart just by "speaking".

"The real person once said that we had better not expect to defeat Zigong like this...... Unless, unless, someone can be found. ”

“…… Who? ”

"Jaeyu."

For a long time, among everything about "Zigong", there is one thing that makes Taiping Dao feel the most strange, since the first creation of Confucianism, the position of Zigong has been most valued, and even often vacant, often hanging for decades.

"Oh, that'...... It's normal, it's better to lack than to abuse. ”

Yun Chongbo felt that this was not difficult to understand, a position with such high requirements and such great power, of course, could not be sat on just because of things like seniority, and people who were not able to use this huge resource correctly must not be given the opportunity to mobilize these things.

"No, it's not."

Indeed, it is extremely difficult to cultivate qualified Zigong, and, judging from the records, this is not only for Zigong, but also for the ancient names of Yan Hui, Zilu, Zeng Shen, and Zixia, which are also often vacant, but...... is specific to the name of Zigong, but it is not so simple.

"You say, sometimes, even if there is a suitable candidate, you can't become Zigong?"

"Yes."

In more than one era, although there was no "Zigong" in name, in fact there were people who performed the corresponding tasks, and the main thing was that the name and the legitimacy of dispatching resources, and from the relevant records, they were really not inferior to the Zigong.

"It took a long time for us to figure out why."

“…… What is that? ”

"One less."

To add to this was Xiao Wenshuang, who told Yun Chongbo that Confucianism seemed to have a strange tradition, and that in order to produce "Zigong", it must also produce "Zaiyu".

"It must be when two people with similar abilities appear at the same time, both of whom are enough to obtain the name of 'Zigong', that Confucianism will release this ancient name."

The two tigers compete with each other, and use up their strongest to the fullest, and the winner can get the name of "Zigong", become the deputy commander of Confucianism, and get the power to command and dispatch the huge resources of Confucianism in the world.

…… At the same time, the loser of the two will become "Zai Yu", inheriting the ancient name of "rotten wood that cannot be carved" by the master thousands of years ago.

"Huh?!"

Dumbfounded, Yun Chongbo really couldn't figure out what this meant: the candidate who can be listed as "Zigong" is obviously undoubted about his ability and loyalty...... Confucianism, what do you want to do?

"Well, actually, that's not true."

Indeed, among the people, Zai Yu has always been known as the metaphor of "rotten wood", but in fact, his ability is first-class among the Confucian disciples, and he has even met the master several times, which is quite polite.

"Especially the words, Xiang and Zigong are called double walls, perhaps...... That's why we have such strange rules today, right? ”

To put it bluntly, Xiao Wenshuang herself admits that it is just a speculation.

"In short, this is the rule set by the first King Wen, and no one can know the reason...... I'm afraid that even the current Zigong and Zai Yu themselves may not be clear! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why, there must be Zaiyu in order to have Zigong?"

“…… Good question, but, I don't know either. ”

With a sly smile, Xiao Yin said, "Does Mr. not know, or does he know but can't say it?" ”

"One, I really don't know, and second, even if I knew, I would still answer like that."

Spread his hands and smiled bitterly, and Xiaoyin said: "Okay, the gentleman is not expensive and difficult, he is not expensive to investigate, and his name is not noble, but he deserves to be a noble ......" made a gesture and said: "Please ask, sir." ”

"Sun Qing's precepts, you memorize them well......"

Coldly glanced at Xiaoyin a few times, Zigong said, "My question, what's your name?" ”

“…… Flowing wind. The flowing water falls and the flowers go in spring, but it is like a spring breeze without a trace. ”

"In other words, the flow of flowing water does not compete for the first, and the wind rises from the wind at the end of Qingping?"

Mu Ran made a face, Zigong said: "Feng, I actually named you style...... Mrs. Liu, it's really bold! ”

"Well, not anymore."

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Xiaoyin said that for "people surnamed Liu", the name of wind does have various meanings, but for himself, a person who is "not surnamed Liu", it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

"Hmph."

"Is there a difference...... leaning back, Zigong said: "...... Liuliu Lu, the world is a Liu! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Therefore, the real person once said that if you want to defeat Zigong, I am afraid that there is only Zai Yu."

However, not to mention that the other party is also a senior member of Confucianism, in the intelligence database of Taiping Dao, it is clearly recorded that more than ten years ago, this generation of Zai Yu had left Qu Zou, and he did not know where to go, and he had not heard from him for more than ten years, and it was unknown whether he was alive or not.

"The only clue is that it is said that when he left, the successor of the ancient name 'Gongzhichang' also left, but ...... It's not a clue either. ”

"Chief, I know, is it the guy who was greedy for mutton, didn't even let go of haggis, and was finally sent to prison by the crows?"

"This ...... Immortal, if you really want to understand more about the ancient names of Confucianism, it is better to listen to fewer stories, read the Analects, or...... Let's pass it on to the disciples. ”

This kind of discussion is naturally just empty talk, even if Zai Yu's whereabouts are known now, the second daughter doesn't expect to find him, let alone expect him to stand up against Zigong, it's just idle talk.

"As soon as we set off, we can't rest, we have to leave as soon as possible, so, tonight, please rest early for the undead."

The specific arrangement is that in the early hours of tomorrow morning, the rooster cries Dongfang Bai, which is the time to leave the city.

"This place is definitely being watched at the moment, and there is no point in leaving the city at night, not to mention, the mountain road at night is not as easy to walk as when the sky is light."

I have also heard a few stories, and Yun Chongbo also understands that this is the old wisdom of the master of Pingming's camp, and he has nothing else to say, and said: "Okay." But he couldn't find anything else to say, and it was cold for a while.

"So, undead, pack up your things first, and we're leaving."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"One Liu in the world...... It's just a joke. ”

smiled bitterly, between Xiaoyin's eyebrows, tiredness.

"Still, I know what I'm going to ask next."

"My Xingzang, how did Mr. see through it?"

"Drain and wither."

“…… I don't understand. ”

Yuntai generals, since Sun Ziwei descended, he is the four-way marshal, the five tigers and eight biao, and the four-way marshal, "horses, flows, runs, and ba" are also. Among them, the marshal of the West Road is a woman's body, and her surname is dry, as for the origin of this name, it is because of its strong soldiers, ruthlessness, perseverance, and has always left no room. ”

"But, of course, you know, she doesn't have a surname at all, and the real origin of this name is not even like that."

“…… Talking about the events of the year, I know the bitterness of hatred. When it is withered, it is just when it is bitter. ”

Looking at Zigong quietly, Xiaoyin said: "But, I still don't understand, why do you think of me from your second aunt?" ”

"This should be the third sentence, right?"

Without waiting for Xiaoyin to answer, Zigong said, "Tell me, when were you separated from your mother?" ”

“…… Five years old. ”

The voice was still calm, and although Zigong was contemplating and observing, he couldn't find the slightest fluctuation in Xiaoyin's gaze,

"It will take a long time to explain, in short, you have the same pattern."

In Zigong's eyes, anyone, after a certain period of communication, will be decomposed into countless combinations of fixed styles, and the difference is only how much.

"In short, there are never as many differences in human nature as each person thinks, and in total, there are only more than 60 kinds of 'happiness', more than 90 kinds of 'anger', more than 100 kinds of 'hatred' and more than 70 kinds of 'sadness'......

I met with Xiaoyin four times before and after, and the time of the conversation added up was about a little more than an hour. Based on this, Zigong summarized Xiaoyin and decomposed and determined a total of 33 response patterns.

"That's a lot, but I don't think it's enough for you."

For ordinary targets, Zigong will make a maximum of ten to twenty judgments, in him, this is just two eyes, plus a few words are enough, and for the goals that need more attention, it should be supplemented by preliminary investigation and more serious conversations, but generally speaking, when it is summarized to more than thirty, it will be completely transparent in Zigong's eyes.

"Anyone, no matter what, has only three hundred traits to analyze, and if they are judged completely, they can manipulate any of their reactions."

This is true, but in fact it is impossible to do, because every time one more item is determined, the energy, intelligence, and even resources expended need to be multiplied, and the more important the person, the more difficult it is to grasp clearly, and at the same time, people's hearts will continue to change, so in history, even in the face of the most important goal, Confucianism has only calculated and determined the record of one hundred and fifty-three reaction patterns.

"That is to say, among the thirty-three characteristics that have been summarized, you see the similarities between me and my second aunt...... So, you have associations? ”

“…… Tell me, from Liu Chilei being sent to Longhu Mountain to his Yicheng coming out of the mountain, how many times have you seen it? ”

"Three times."

In this way, the conversation kept going on in a very peculiar form, and Xiaoyin kept asking, knowing how Zigong thought of Emperor Shaojing from Yun Chongbo because of Zilu, and associated all kinds of strange actions of the Ao family, the Qiu family, Dijing and even the general Wang, and how he thought of Xiaoyin from Liudangku, and because of Liudangku's past and Liu Zongliang's "great name" in terms of illegitimate children, and associated with the possible relationship between Xiaoyin and the Liu family. How did he think about what the Liu family's "No. 1 plan in the world" should and what kind of resources it needs, and finally became clear, and he explained all the connections for himself.

"If the deceased is really the person I think, you should be the core member of the Liu family, and if you are really the core member of the Liu family, then the immortal should still be the person I think...... Only in this way, only for the sake of 'the world's first plan', can all this make sense. ”

"After all, looking at today, apart from the Liu family, who else has this kind of means and courage, can and dare to ...... Married to the orphan of the deposed prince?! ”

In addition, Xiaoyin also Zigong himself couldn't help asking, what are those modes going on? If you can only observe and cannot speak, what method should be used to test the other party's reaction, for it, Zigong is like any other question, full of words, meticulous and patient.

…… The only thing he wants is Xiaoyin's answer, every time he asks a question, he has to answer a question.

Zigong's questions are very strange, they are all the most trivial parents, what kind of tastes Xiaoyin and Liu Chilei like, when was the last time I had dinner with Liu Zongliang, and did Xiaoyin ever work as a female worker by herself...... Later, even Zigong asked every question, she had to think about it for a while before answering slowly, and she would accurately control her voice to ensure that she would always answer the question with the same rhythm and tone.

…… Both of them understood what a dangerous game they were playing.

Xiaoyin needs to know how much Zigong knows about herself and what Zigong's ability is, only if she knows more, she can have the capital to start a decisive battle with Zigong.

And Zigong, as he himself admitted, is slowly drawing the whole picture of Xiaoyin through this series of questions, as long as he feels that the information he has accumulated is enough, he will immediately turn his face and launch a fierce attack on Xiaoyin.

…… It was a thin single-plank bridge, elevated between two mountains, the wind was fierce and the mountains were rocky, and the two opponents on the bridge were smiling, trying to cut the wood under each other's feet, making it more fragile and fragile.

Only when they feel that the time has come will they pull off their disguises and deliver a decisive blow to make the other party fall into the abyss, as for whether they can get ahead of the other party, and whether they will fall with the other party, they have no time to think about it.

Who, will it be faster?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

retreated outside, the second daughter had no smile on her face, and the confidence and relaxation she had just ...... It's just for the audience to see.

"Sister Shuang, do you think it can go smoothly like this?"

“…… No way. ”

Without facing Yun Chongbo, Xiao Wenshuang no longer concealed her heavy tiredness, closed her eyes slightly, and pressed her face hard.

"I can't think of what will happen, but ...... A monster that would make the Jade Qingzhen people scruple like this, a monster who would sit firmly in the position of the deputy marshal of the Confucian Sect for thousands of years, would never be able to deal with it so easily. ”

While speaking, Xiao Wenshuang had already remembered something, so she said, "Also, Ling Bing, if there is something like that day again...... I'll break it off. ”

"But ......"

"Don't worry, I also have a desperate trick."

The tone was decisive, and He Lingbing was not allowed to say anything at all, Xiao Wenshuang moved his shoulders and said: "If Zilu fights with all his might, we are not opponents, and if the Buddha has not left, it is impossible to directly confront ...... In short, our aim is to bring the undead back to the south, and for this, everything can be sacrificed! ”

As if moved by her tone, He Lingbing pursed her lips dissatisfied, but nodded silently and gave up her objections.

"Immortal, when will he truly become the guardian of the Taiping Dao."

There are still grievances, and He Lingbing thinks that it is really strange how God chooses and determines the immortal.

"He doesn't have faith in 'Taiping', he doesn't have enough strength and wisdom, he doesn't even have an unbreakable heart...... But he is an immortal, he can draw strength from the heavenly soldiers, and he can get knowledge from the heavenly soldiers, if Sister Shuang is an immortal, even if I am an immortal, I will be ten times better than him now! ”

There is a reason for such a complaint, on the night when Yun Chongbo was re-committed to the sea, the second daughter was inexplicably pulled into a dream twice before and after, and experienced the fight to the death between the predecessors. And afterwards, they were even more shocked and surprised to find that the dream was not only a story, but also imprinted something into their bodies, the unheard of knife technique, the unheard of method of lifting the body, although it was only a glimpse, but it had benefited the second daughter deeply, and therefore made He Lingbing even more dissatisfied with Yun Chongbo.

According to his own words, these dreams have accumulated more than a dozen times, spanning more than ten years, but ...... What did he experience and what did he get? ”

Recalling the experience of the snow region, He Lingbing admitted that Yun Chongbo had indeed improved, but that magnitude was not large, at least ...... Not as big as she thought it should be.

"Don't say that, Ling Bing, the undead...... It is a miracle that we cannot understand, we are only 'people', but the immortal is a 'demigod'. ”

“…… Hum. ”

It's a no-brainer, but it's not surprising. He Lingbing, who was deeply influenced by Yuqing, was not very cold to the "undead". She simply thought that the existence of the undead was strange and unreasonable, and if it was to be rationalized, it should be the loyal and excellent people of the Taiping Dao who inherited the Heavenly Soldiers and drew strength from them.

"Anyway...... I can't trust these people who are halfway monks, but can command us! ”

“…… Let's get back to that. ”

Patting He Lingbing with a wry smile, Xiao Wenshuang also understood that no matter how fierce the language was, when Yun Chongbo was really in danger, He Lingbing could definitely be trusted, and he could sacrifice himself for Yun Chongbo's escape.

"In short, I believe in the immortal, in the future, he will prove himself."
