Chapter Ninety-Four: The Banner Master of the Water Reclamation Banner
"—a confidential mission entrusted to us by the Sect Master." Duan Ming saw that I was still stunned, and responded smartly, "It's inconvenient to say the details directly, and I ask Senior Ji to forgive me." ”
"I thought that the Wen Banner Master was exquisite, and I didn't want you to use the Gangfeng Banner, and the Deputy Banner Master Duan was the one who spoke in charge."
Ji Sarong squinted at Duan Ming's divided-up ear roots, turned his face and raised his eyebrows at the shocking stone and said, "If you don't say that it is good to have a deputy, the five banners of the tail sect perform their own duties, although the affairs of the Gangfeng Banner are more, but now the four seas are leveled, and it is not the situation of the northern kingdom being decided twelve years ago, and the rivers and lakes are mixed." The sect leader is really eccentric, and he raises our two banner masters of 'red fragrance and green green' very idle-not to mention the chic panhuan Yue Yu on the first floor of the world in Kazhou, but he has also practiced such a skill of singing and harmonizing, and matching and responding. ”
Duan Ming is honest by nature, where can he parry Ji Sarong's spicy ridicule and teasing. I was already angry, but I only promised Duan Ming to keep quiet and not cause trouble, and I thought that my possession of Wen Ling was inconvenient for others to know after all, so I had to secretly clench my fists under the table, gritting my teeth and not responding.
In the end, the earth-shattering stone on the side saw that Duan Ming and I both blushed, and probably felt that Ji Sarong's words were too mean, so he slowly turned to her and shook his head: "Lord Ji Qi, don't talk about the sect master." ”
"—Am I wrong?" Ji Sarong put the teacup aside, and the corners of his mouth curved into a bitter arc, "If it weren't for the sect leader's eccentricity, why would he hold a succession ceremony for the Wen Banner Lord twelve years ago; If it weren't for the sect leader's partiality, why would she choose a deputy flag master to help her ten years ago. Speaking of Brother Jing, there is no deputy, and there is no old-timer to succeed the ceremony, can't he empathize with Sarong? ”
"The sect leader has his own arrangements, and we have no right to interfere."
"Interference? Sarong grew up in Lingguang Mountain since he was a child, and all the food and clothing were given by the sect leader, so how dare he interfere with his old man's arrangement. Ji Sarong sneered, "The sect leader has always acted in his own way. Although the Wen Banner Master is the first Banner Master of our Tail Sect to win the honor of succession ceremony, he is not the last one at the moment. No, the newcomer on the flag of Bishui was busy, and the sect leader was busy with courtesy. Even those who were on a mission in Kaju had to come to watch the ceremony, as if they were afraid that I, the old flag master, would not know how unpopular I was. ”
"Ji Qi Lord—"
"——Brother Shock, you have been stationed at the main altar all the year round, and you don't know the hard work of those of us who have been running around all the year round. It's just that it is reported that you were also ordered to go down the mountain a few days ago, and it is strange to say that the rules of the thunder flag stationed at the main altar have not been thundered for a hundred years, and now it has broken the old precedent. Twelve years ago, the apostasy of the Yuxi Heavenly King was revealed, but the sect leader let the enemy Weng, who was the owner of the Bishui Banner at that time, go to Zhenjiang to kill the rebels. To put it mildly, Banner Master Wen, your position as the Banner Master can be regarded as an enemy and his old man! Feng Shui takes turns, and I think that Qiu Weng would not have expected that twelve years later, he would also be crowned as an apostasy, which is ......not tolerated by the sect leader," Ji Sarong bit his cheeks, and the more he spoke, the more he hated. "When I heard the news that day, I immediately got out of Kaju to investigate the incident. It's useless to just hate me, and I didn't make a name for myself in time. That's it, Master Wenqi, you have been immersed in the Tail Sect for more than ten years, you should also know who the enemy is, he must have been framed by a traitor to arouse the suspicion and jealousy of the sect leader! How can you bear to use such despicable means to kill an old man who is over 100 years old and seriously injured! ”
"I..."
"-What are the seniors talking about so lively, but the juniors are late!"
When everyone heard the sound, they all looked at the entrance of the courtyard for a while. I saw the white robe shake, but it was a graceful man who strode in.
He was dressed in a gray and white gown, wearing a plain linen hat on his head, and two waist-length belts floating behind him, looking like a weak scholar. said that he was a scholar, but he had a nanmu sword handle exposed behind his back, and a cyan rope tassel was tied to his tail, which swayed left and right with each step he took, reflecting the moonlight and jumping faintly.
I fixed my eyes slightly, and found that the more than 100 green ears at the end of the three-inch long sword rope were actually made of some kind of soft metal, although they shook endlessly, they were always distinct, flashing with a strange blue light. The man smiled as if sensing that I was staring at his saber, and as if unintentionally, he stretched out his slender fingers, hidden in his long sleeves, and tossed aside the hilt of the sword that was a few inches above his shoulder.
"The robe has wide sleeves, and the fingering is dexterous." Duan Ming whispered to me, "This person should be a secret weapon expert. ”
As soon as I heard this, I watched him more and more closely. But he saw that the man noticed that everyone's eyes were all on him, and he was still smiling, and there was no timidity on his moon-like face.
His face was extremely white, but the white was not as white as Ji Sarong's peachy face was better than snow, but it was as cold as a sword blade without the slightest blood. In the blink of an eye, he had walked in front of everyone and stood still, and with a deep stroke, the smile on his face deepened a little.
"I've heard the names of your predecessors for a long time, and the younger generations are so polite."
Looking at the man's amiable and humble expression, Ji Sarong squinted his eyes and sneered: "Xiucai who went to Beijing to take the exam, how can I remember that now is not the season for the imperial examination in Kazhou?" ”
"The seniors are really funny," the man heard Ji Sarong taunt him like this, his face was not half red, and he actually smiled more and more intimately, "The junior has dull qualifications, and he has to be promoted by the sect leader, so he is listed as the master of the water flag, where can he be a talent in the court?" ”
Ji Sarong's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, "You are-"
"Bai Xiaohan, the new leader of the Tail Sect of the Younger Sect, has seen all the seniors."
The man shook again, smiling more and more deferentially and humbly. On the contrary, the sneer on Ji Sarong's face gradually faded, and every minute was replaced by disbelief and consternation.
Looking at her stagnant and congested eyes, I also felt a little uncomfortable in my heart. I also had the privilege of seeing the style of the old man who was the master of the former water flag, although it was hostile, its fairy spirit and martial arts had to be admired. Now that the times have changed, the momentum of the water flag is still the same, but the flag owner has changed the mediocre and flattering man in front of him.
And as we all know, Ji Sarong was cultivated by Qiu Weng, and the two have known each other for many years and have a deep friendship. At this moment, Qiu Weng was unjustly killed, and seeing that others proudly succeeded to the old position of her mentor, how could she not hate......
Thinking like this, I turned my head to look at Bai Xiaohan's flawless smiling face again, and an irrepressible disgust appeared in my heart.
I don't dare to say that I empathize with Ji Sarong's state of mind, but the first impression of people in this world is really wonderful. No matter how deep he laughs, I always have no reason to think that he is hypocritical and unbelievable. is also courteous and thorough, Duan Ming is much more sincere than him, his smile is really from the respect and respect in his heart, humble and moderate, neither humble nor arrogant.
In contrast, looking at the smile of the person in front of him who can't find a trace of error, he feels more and more hypocritical and pretentious.
"White Flag Lord." It was the Heaven-Shattering Stone that broke the awkward silence and nodded to Bai Xiaohan, "It's you in the right corner today, please sit down." ”
"Surprise senior-you're so polite!" I saw Bai Xiaohan raise his slender eyebrows steeply, and his tone was hypocritical and exaggerated, flattered, "How can the younger generation, how dare you be the same as your predecessors——"
"—tell you to sit down and do what you do in this tone." Ji Sarong said angrily, "Didn't the sect leader tell you, now that you are the flag master, you should have a flag master?" ”
Obviously, he didn't expect Ji Sarong to be so sour when he opened his mouth, Bai Xiaohan's eyebrows suddenly sudden, and they were smoothed out and replaced with a decent smile in an instant, "The sect leader told the juniors early in the morning that the Feiyan Banner Ji Sarong Ji Banner Master of the Five Banners is charming and looks like a fairy. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. Laughing and scolding, what words are really in the ears make people feel drunk. Talking about this style of being the flag master, the younger generation really doesn't have it. In the future, I will still bother Ji seniors today, and I will mention more to the younger generations. ”
Ji Sarong has always been able to speak well, and seeing Bai Xiaohan's clever words, he raised his eyebrows and immediately sneered at each other: "Where is the White Flag Lord?" No one in the sect knows that the Feiyan Banner was originally the end of the Five Banners, and the reason why we can have a place in the sect is because you have a water flag to deliver news to the sect leader for us. Although you are a descendant, you can coax the sect leader to help you climb to the position of the flag master, which shows that you have supernatural skills that we can't reach. Today is your good day, so why bother to pretend to be confused and smiling like a tiger with a smiling face, these old people? ”
"Senior Ji's words are tormenting the juniors!" Bai Xiaohan suddenly laughed loudly, "Where do the juniors have any magical skills, but it is because something ugly happened to our own family, and seeing that the talents in the banner are withering and the dragons are leaderless, the juniors have no choice but to be appointed." This is said to be the younger generation still owes Wen Banner a word of thanks, if it weren't for the Gangfeng Banner to take action and quell the chaos in time, our water flag would really become a laughing stock in the rivers and lakes! ”
Ji Sarong's face became ugly with Bai Xiaohan's every word, and seeing that Bai Xiaohan instigated Ji Sarong to turn his bloodshot angry eyes to me in a few words, I hurriedly grabbed Bai and said: "The white flag is polite, and the five flags perform their own duties, but they are just teaching and hosting, how can the Gangfeng Banner say that the Gangfeng Banner is the water flag to fight for righteousness and quell the chaos?" Moreover, there are many suspicious points in the case of the apostasy of the former banner owner of your banner, and the truth has not yet been revealed. The owner of the white flag has just taken over the water flag, so he will first talk about what has happened to his own family, is it a little premature? ”
I looked at Ji Sarong's expression beside me, but I was secretly relieved to see the crimson of her cheeks fade to the neck socket. Seeing that the smile on Bai Xiaohan's face gradually solidified, Duan Ming behind him pressed on my shoulder, and the hand that originally intended to stop me from speaking finally loosened its strength, and quietly retracted its sleeve.
