Shi Jinyan looked at Sima Hongyan in surprise, feeling that although she was the same age as herself, her knowledge was beyond her reach.

Ban Lingruo said: "You mean that the emperor has the means to guarantee victory?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I'm just guessing!" You think, we have the right time, place, and people, and if we want to win these outsiders, there should still be some way! ”

Ban Lingruo and Shi Jinyan thought that there was indeed such a possibility, so they both nodded.

Shi Jinyan asked, "This is the first reason, but what about the second reason?" ”

Sima Hongyan looked around, and saw that no one was eavesdropping beside the car, so he lowered his voice and said: "The second reason, I guess the emperor wants to change the pattern of the DPRK and China!" ”

Ban Lingruo didn't quite understand, but Shi Jinyan was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "How is this possible?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled and said, "Look! You don't think it's possible. But I think that's exactly what the emperor wants to do. ”

This statement is too unbelievable, and Shi Jinyan can't believe it for a while.

Ban Lingruo looked at Shi Jinyan in confusion and asked, "Miss Shi, do you know what you mean?" ”

Shi Jinyan said in a deep voice: "Miss Sima means that the emperor wants to replace the ministers of the court. ”

Ban Lingruo was also unacceptable, and exclaimed: "Does the emperor want to remove these ministers of the current dynasty?" I really can't believe that most of these ministers are loyal ministers who have been in government for many years, and many of them are even veterans of the two dynasties. Why replace them for no reason? ”

Sima Hongyan replied simply: "The reason is that they don't want to change!" ”

Saying this, Shi Jinyan understood a little, and Ban Ling seemed to understand, so she asked, "Don't want to change?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "The emperor also has the emperor's troubles, and there are some things that he can't do if he wants to. For example, although the emperor supports the matter of female officials in the court, the ministers are unwilling, and the emperor has no way to do it, which you have seen with your own eyes. ”

Ban Lingruo and Shi Jinyan nodded at the same time.

Sima Hongyan continued: "The change of the country means the change of the imperial court, only the emperor himself wants to do something, but no one under him cooperates, what can he do alone?" There must be people who think the same way as the emperor to carry out the change. You have also seen the attitude of the ministers of the court, and it is not too much to say that they are pedantic. In this case, where does Yanling start to be strong? So the emperor needs to find a breakthrough. ”

At this time, Ban Lingruo also understood, and immediately said: "Then sister, you are the breakthrough?" ”

Sima Hongyan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Little sister, you're right!" ”

The three of them talked and talked in the carriage like this, and walked for two days in a row until they came to the realm of Tianling Mountain.

Tianling Mountain is located in the south of the capital, and the famous Xiao Ling Sword Sect on the rivers and lakes is built on Tianling Mountain, which has a history of several decades. Tianling Mountain has a mild climate all year round, with evergreen trees and extremely beautiful scenery. It has been many years of worshipping the mountain and changing posts here.

Everyone walked for another day and had come to the foot of Tianling Mountain.

Finally arrived at the destination, everyone got off the car and dismounted to enjoy the scenery of Tianling Mountain. Looking into the distance, the towering Tianling Mountain is half hidden and half appears in the clouds and mist, the scenery is magnificent and psychedelic, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Sima Hongyan was fascinated by the scenery and said secretly: "There is no mobile phone to take pictures, it's a pity that the scenery is so good." ”

Walking further on, we came to the mountain pass, where many visitors had gathered from here on the mountain.

Seeing Sima Hongyan's team, two men came to meet him. Sima Hongyan looked at the two of them carefully from the car window, and saw that they were also wearing white clothes and white boots, with their heads tied in a bun, and long swords on their backs, and the word Xiao Ling was embroidered on the chest of each coat, which looked extremely powerful and capable.

The two of them came to Yan Hong's car and saluted with their fists: "I don't know which distant guest came, do you have a famous post?" ”

Yan Hong got out of the car and handed over a post from his arms, and the two immediately knelt down after reading it, and exclaimed: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Ninth had arrived, and he had missed the distance, and he hoped to forgive his sins!" ”

Yan Hong held up the two of them with a smile and said, "The two of you are from the Xiao Ling Sword Sect, right?" This is a gathering of rivers and lakes, we can follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, don't be polite! ”

The two were flattered, and quickly thanked them and got up, leading the way in front.

Sima Hongyan and the three of them had already changed into maid costumes in the car, and were peeking out of the window at the outside scene. I saw that all the people along the road were from the rivers and lakes, or riding horses or cars, and every group of people would definitely have white-clothed Xiao Ling Sword Sect disciples come over to greet them, which showed that this Xiao Ling Sword Sect was very thoughtful.

The carriage slowly walked for another stick of incense before it stopped again, only to hear one of the two disciples of the Xiao Ling Sword Sect say, "Your Highness the Nine!" I have arrived at the stone stairs to climb the mountain, so I have to ask His Royal Highness Nine to deign and walk up the mountain. ”

Hearing this, Yan Hong and Sima Hongyan all stepped out of the car, and the sixteen guards also turned over and dismounted.

Xiao Ling Sword Sect has held many gatherings to worship the mountain and exchange posts, and he has long been familiar with it. As soon as Yanhong got off the horse, several horse boys immediately came to lead the horses and lead the cart and took them to the racecourse to feed.

The stone steps up the mountain are built around the mountain, and the steep slope is either too big or too long, and it takes a while to walk up the mountain. Led by two disciples of the Xiao Ling Sword Sect, sixteen guards, eight in the front and eight in the back, sandwiched the Nine Emperors and Sima Hongyan and slowly walked up the mountain.

The stone staircase is so wide that pedestrians can stagger over the mountain no matter how fast or slow they go, so even if you go up the mountain while sightseeing, it won't interfere with other people's trips.

Sima Hongyan followed behind Yan Hong, and suddenly asked him, "Yan Hong, you came this time to see your master, what kind of person is he?" Is it an old man who looks like an immortal? ”

Hearing Sima Hongyan ask about his master, Yan Hong didn't look back and said, "Immortals generally don't dare to say it, but they are definitely masters outside the world." There are not many people in the martial arts who are lucky enough to see him. Actually, I was very surprised that my master would come this time, he never participated in this kind of gathering in the rivers and lakes. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Since he is a master in the world, he must not usually show up, but this time he suddenly came out of the mountain, it is estimated that there is something important to do." ”

Yan Hong said: "Not bad! The identity of the person who can let my master go out of the mountain and invite him must not be low. According to the report, it seems that this time it was the master of the martial arts alliance who asked my master to come. ”

Sima Hongyan had read martial arts novels before, and he both longed for and admired the title of martial arts league leader, and his impression was that kind of majestic hero. Hearing Yan Hong say that he might see the leader of the martial arts alliance this time, he was really a little surprised, and said excitedly: "Can you meet the leader of the martial arts alliance this time?" Can you get him to sign me? ”

Yan Hong and the others were all strange, and Shi Jinyan asked, "What did you ask him to sign for?" ”

Sima Hongyan looked surprised and said, "What? You are such a famous person here, do you see him and don't let him sign for you? That's collectible. ”

Ban Lingruo also asked strangely: "What is the value of his signature?" ”

"Forget it!" Sima Hongyan was speechless, and he really couldn't explain this problem to them.

Yan Hong smiled: "Actually, I haven't seen this martial arts alliance leader either, so I have to ask if he can sign for you." But you also have to be mentally prepared, it is possible that this alliance leader does not know how to read at all! ”

Sima Hongyan suddenly said: "Actually, it doesn't matter, I can invite your master, it seems that the two have a good relationship, it is estimated that this alliance leader is not sixty, but also in his fifties." He signed it, and I don't have a place to show it off! ”

Ban Lingruo asked Yan Hongdao, "Ninth Prince, can you tell me if you don't know your master's name?" I'm curious what kind of character can be your master! "Several of them discussed in advance, and if they are not called princes or highnesses outside, they will be called Yan Hongjiu Gongzi.

Yan Hong smiled: "My master is not so mysterious, it doesn't hurt to tell you." He is Yue Canghai, who is known as the Faceless Buddha in the rivers and lakes! ”

Ban Lingruo's admiration was overflowing, her eyes lit up, and her voice trembled: "Ah! It turned out to be Yue's senior? Nine Princes, you are so lucky! ”

Sima Hongyan said: "What? Is this Yue Canghai very powerful? ”

Ban Lingruo said adoringly: "How powerful, it's simply a myth in the martial arts!" It is said that he was already famous all over the world when he was young, and he was invincible with a long sword, and he was a figure that people in the rivers and lakes could not match. If I can see his old man this time, it will be in vain! ”
