Chapter 124: The People in the Rivers and Lakes
Zhuge Qingfeng, what everyone dreams of, is desperately pushing out, which seems to be very surprising.
The man covered by the robe didn't seem to be surprised at all.
After Zhuge Qingfeng refused, he didn't mean to continue the topic, but smiled faintly.
"You've already moved your true feelings, Zhuge Qingfeng, maybe you should hand over that thing."
In the midst of laughter, the man suddenly spoke, his head slightly raised, as if covered in a black mist, his eyes lit up like two cold stars.
"That thing was given to me by the master back then, but I will never give it to you, and besides, my mission has not failed, and the order given by the empire is just hidden, but it has not asked me to do anything."
Zhuge Qingfeng opened his mouth expressionlessly, and when he spoke, one of his hands on his thigh was holding the hem of his clothes, if you look carefully, you can find that the place where the hem of the clothes he holds and the palm of his hand are slightly wet, and Zhuge Qingfeng's nervous palms are soaked with sweat on the hem of the clothes he is holding.
"There is no failure, when the master was on his deathbed, the corresponding empire called to send us to the Wolong Empire to lurk, which of the senior brothers has not set foot in the ranks of the dignitaries of the Wolong Empire over the years, and only you, as a senior brother, have done nothing, and even seem to have true feelings for the woman who married the Wolong Empire to hide her identity, Zhuge Qingfeng, you dare to say that you are still worthy of having the token of the head of the sect."
The man in the robe slapped the table violently, and stood up angrily, his eyes flashing like two cold stars, and the robe on the man's body moved without wind in the fierce murderous intent.
"Wei Chi Changde, do you want to do it with me?"
When the man in the robe said that he would marry a woman who hid his identity, Zhuge Qingfeng's teeth suddenly clenched, his brows tightened slightly, and the hand holding the hem of his shirt suddenly pressed on the table and stood up, and said slowly and in a low voice.
"You are a senior brother, how can you do it with you, I just hope that senior brother will not forget his identity and the expectations of the master."
The man in the robe stared at Zhuge Qingfeng's hands pressed on the table, but with a faint mockery in his mouth, he had already slowly walked outside as he spoke.
"I will find a way to help Qingyuan Town get ten more places at this year's Qingyuan rally, whether the senior brother wants to seize this opportunity is his own business, but I will not force it."
As the words fell, the man in the robe had already walked out of the gate of Zhuge Mansion, as was the case in the past, Qingyuan Town could have about five places, and this year, among all the young masters who participated in the Qingyuan rally, there were no more than three people who were sure to win the sons and daughters of Zhuge Qingfeng, if there were ten more places, all the sons and daughters of Zhuge Qingfeng would be able to participate in the reference of major martial arts.
Zhuge Qingfeng knows his children better than anyone else, as long as he obtains the reference qualification, several children will definitely leave Qingyuan Town, no matter how much he opposes, it is useless, but once these children leave Qingyuan Town Tuyuan Kingdom, they will definitely contact them, which Zhuge Qingfeng can't stop.
Standing there in a daze for a long time, Zhuge Qingfeng didn't know what to think, and his body trembled slightly.
It wasn't until the man walked for a long time that Zhuge Qingfeng trembled and recycled his hands, and the whole person walked towards the backyard of Zhuge Mansion with his back hunched as if he was dozens of years old, and when Zhuge Qingfeng let go of his hand, there were two more palm holes on the table that he had pressed, and there was a slight trace of burnt marks on the edge of the palm hole, as if the plastic table had been imprinted by two palm-shaped red-hot soldering irons.
In the backyard, Zhuge Qingfeng stopped in front of a tomb on the left side of the courtyard where he lived, which was the tomb of Zhuge Qingfeng's wife and the mother of Zhuge brothers and sisters.
Zhuge Qingfeng slowly sat down against this tomb, a trace of tiredness surged up Zhuge Qingfeng's cheeks, he slowly leaned on the stone tablet of the tomb, and two lines of muddy tears had slipped down.
The latent undercover agent should not have his own feelings, but Zhuge Qingfeng is a person with rich feelings, and the love with his wife, the friendship with Liu Qingyuan, and the family affection for his children, Zhuge Qingfeng can't let go.
Originally, according to Zhuge Qingfeng's strength, this plan was not difficult for Zhuge Qingfeng, but unfortunately Zhuge Qingfeng was moved, so he concealed his martial arts and used the identity of an ordinary person to stay in the Wolong Empire.
If it weren't for the fact that he met Liu Qingyuan later, and coincidentally accompanied Liu Qingyuan into the Tanglin Secret Realm, I am afraid that Zhuge Qingfeng would still be playing a middle-aged man who does not know the slightest martial arts, but even so, Zhuge Qingfeng has only taught his children the Qingfeng swordsmanship obtained from the Tanglin Secret Realm in the past 20 years, and has not taught the slightest martial arts of the master.
Similarly, although the Qingfeng Sword Sect has been created by relying on the Qingfeng Sword Technique over the years and has become a martial arts sect in a small place, Zhuge Qingfeng has never let his children perform so well, Zhuge Mingguang, that year, Liu Piaopiao's Zhuge Mingguang, that is, Ziqin, lost his martial arts talent Zhuge Qingfeng can not blame Liu Piaopiao Although Liu Qingyuan has a relationship, but he is not willing to let his children have much achievement in martial arts.
Don't teach superb martial arts, let your children be a martial arts person in a local martial arts sect, and dream of living in peace and stability until old age, this is Zhuge Qingfeng's fantasy, but unfortunately, from the beginning, Zhuge Qingfeng should have understood that some things can't be avoided after all.
It's just that he can't hide from it, Zhuge Qingfeng has also made up his mind that he will never let his children fall into this damn secret war between countries.
"Even if it costs with my life, I will protect our sons and daughters, and will never involve them in the dirty secret war between nations, definitely, definitely."
Leaning on the stone stele, Zhuge Qingfeng's voice was extremely soft, as if he was whispering to someone in his ear, but he was extremely firm.
Two days later, the imperial military attache Wei Chi Changde came to Qingyuan Town with representatives from several surrounding big cities to discuss the qualifications for the entrance examination of the major martial arts academies in the empire this year.
Every year's martial arts academy entrance exam is a major event of the empire, this world where martial arts is respected, force directly determines the rise and fall of an empire, and the martial arts academy exam is to select future martial arts talents for the empire, among these people there may be generals, marshals, soldier kings, and so on.
There are a total of five test centers on the border of the empire located on this side of Qingyuan Town, and there are four major cities in addition to Qingyuan Town, and these four cities and Qingyuan Town are horns of each other to form the defense line of the border of the empire, so the five places of the martial arts academy examination over the years have been discussed and started, because the number of places given by the major martial arts academies of the empire is a total number, and in the end, these five places need to be allocated by themselves.
In addition to Qingyuan Town, these five places are the north and south canyon cities, Tama City, and Wanbao City, it is said that these cities and north and south canyons were once in the grassland when the people were strong was the fortress to protect the southern peoples from being wiped out by the grassland, and Wanbao City and Tama City were once the only cities that could trade with the northern peoples, and once enjoyed a good reputation, but later, the Wolong Empire and the Tuyuan Kingdom jointly went on a northern expedition to defeat the grassland coalition army in one fell swoop, forcing the grassland people to move thousands of kilometers north, Later, it became the territory of the Wolong Empire, and it was also the border with the Tuyuan Kingdom, which extended its territory outside the Guan.
On this day, Zhuge Qingfeng got up very early, cleaned himself up, and ordered all the servants in the palace to open the gate to welcome the military attachés from the four major cities and the emperor [***].
When he found that Du Ziqin, the master of Longyin Valley in the North and South Canyons, Jian Yuanyan of the Iron Knife Gate, Jin Wuwu, the master of the Hundred Beasts Gate of Wanbao City, and Jiang Hongrui, the head of the Feixu Sect of Tama City, came to Wei Chi Changde, Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes flashed a faint resoluteness.
In the front hall of Zhuge Mansion, everyone sat down according to their priorities, Zhuge Qingfeng looked at the few people who came together lightly, he had already made up his mind two days ago, even if he handed over all the places in Qingyuan Town, even if he could no longer stay in Qingyuan Town, even if the hidden mission failed, he would never let his children participate in this dirty secret war between countries.
"The matter of the quota of the major martial arts exams in the empire this time............"
Seeing that everyone was seated, Zhuge Qingfeng wanted to say that he had given up all the reference quotas, but before he could speak, Yu Chi Changde had already taken the lead in speaking.
"The Imperial Martial Arts Exam is related to the Empire's Thousand Years, I hope you all think about it and don't do anything foolish."
Yu Chi Changde said with a calm face, this sentence seemed to be just an official face that an imperial military attache would say, but when Zhuge Qingfeng heard this, his heart suddenly burst into worry, and he vaguely felt that Yu Chi Changde's words seemed to mean something else.
It's just that worries are worries, but Zhuge Qingfeng's mind will not change, and after Wei Chi Changde finished speaking, he slowly glanced around, and the representatives of the sects from the four major cities sitting there spoke indifferently.
"I don't want any of this year's martial arts reference quotas in Qingyuan Town, let them all out."
It was a very indifferent sentence, but it was also an extremely shocking sentence, after finishing speaking, Zhuge Qingfeng looked at the representatives of the four major city sects present without blinking, however, to his surprise, these people did not have any surprised expressions when he said such a thing.
That feeling of worry surfaced again, and Zhuge Qingfeng faintly felt that he seemed to have fallen for Wei Chi Changde's move.
"Brother Zhuge , speaking has to go through the brain, I don't understand what you say."
Jian Yuanyan from North Canyon City spoke coldly, and when he spoke, he looked at Zhuge Qingfeng with cold eyes.
"Do you mean that the disciples of our four major cities are all waste, and they are not qualified to compete with you Qingyuan Town for places."
With Jian Yuanyan's words, the representatives of the other sects also looked at Zhuge Qingfeng with cold eyes, and the latter's eyes looked at Yu Chi Changde, but they only saw Yu Chi Changde pick up the teacup beside him and take a sip very leisurely.
Zhuge Qingfeng's heart sank slowly, he didn't know what Wei Chi Changde had said to these four sect representatives before, but it was obvious that these four sect representatives reacted a little wrong to his words.
For the sake of his children, Zhuge Qingfeng just wanted to soften it again, but the gate of Zhuge Mansion was suddenly pushed open, and Ziqin and others appeared at the gate.
