Meng Xiuyuan's words fell, and there was silence in the restaurant hall for a long time.

Li Shimin and Li Jing both looked at Meng Xiuyuan with burning eyes, as if they had re-acquainted themselves with this Meng Gongzi again.

They never imagined that someone in the world would say such a thing.

After all, no one would choose to fight against the two giants of martial arts at the same time, Buddhism Gate and Demon Gate.

"Meng Gongzi, you are for the country and the people, Li Jing really admires it.

Just let me be short-sighted and rude and ask a lot of questions.

I don't know Childe, can you really be sure?

You must know that it is a matter of life and death and the continuation of the Dao system, if these two parties learn that Meng Gongzi has such an idea of digging their roots, they will definitely do their best to deal with Gongzi......"

Li Jing was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask first.

Although he had seen Meng Xiuyuan's skills with his own eyes and knew that he was a rare master in the world, he also knew more about what kind of terrifying forces were behind this Cihang Jingzhai and the Demon Gate.

Meng Xiuyuan knew that with the character of Li Shimin and Li Jingzhi's City Mansion, he must still be carefully considering it in his heart at this time, and he would carefully observe and analyze his words and deeds in order to make a final decision.

Therefore, he did not deliberately be modest, but said bluntly and calmly:

"If I compare intrigue and intrigues, I am far inferior to the Demon Gate and Cihang Jingzhai.

But if it is a battle in the rivers and lakes, and a sword with fists, feet and swords, I think I will not lose. ”

Meng Xiuyuan's two words were not loud, but when they entered the ears of Li Jing and Li Shimin, they seemed to be thundering, causing them to change their complexions involuntarily.

They all know that Meng Xiuyuan is by no means an arrogant and boastful person.

Li Shimin looked at Meng Xiuyuan, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he wanted to speak several times. After a while, he suddenly stood up with his wine glass, and solemnly bowed to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Brother Meng, please allow me to toast you."

Seeing this, Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly, bowed to Li Shimin and returned the salute, and then drank all the wine in the cup.

……

Meng Xiuyuan, Li Jing and Li Shimin drank in the Dong family restaurant until late at night, and the three of them were happy and said goodbye to each other.

Under Li Shimin's arrangement, Meng Xiuyuan stayed at an inn in Luoyang City nearby, and there was nothing to do all night.

In the early morning of the second day, Meng Xiuyuan was in a hurry to go out, but before he walked out of the door, he involuntarily stopped.

"Meng Gongzi, Concubine Xuan took the liberty to visit, I don't know if I can come in and chat with Gongzi."

Concubine Xuan's soft voice came from outside the door, peaceful and calm, as if she had completely forgotten the previous conflict between the two.

"Since Miss Shi has already found this place, why do you need to ask again.

I'm not in the habit of chatting with people through the door, so please come in, girl. ”

Meng Xiuyuan replied softly.

Immediately, a soft "squeak" was heard, the door of the inn was pushed open, and the concubine slowly entered.

Like the last time they met in Zen Buddhism, Shi Fei Xuan was still dressed in a light cyan scholarly shirt and men's clothes, the only difference was that she had an elegant ancient sword behind her back at the moment.

"It seems that Miss Shi wants to have a discussion with me on this trip......"

Meng Xiuyuan glanced at the long sword behind Concubine Xuan, and instead of being angry, his face was even more joyful. He had long wanted to see what kind of peerless swordsman the "Cihang Sword Codex", one of the four great books, would cultivate.

I didn't want to, but when Concubine Xuan heard this, she immediately shook her head and said softly to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Please also ask Meng Gongzi not to misunderstand, after Concubine Xuan left the fast, she never made a move with anyone, let alone casually confronted a righteous man like Meng Gongzi.

It's just that in this Luoyang City, there are traces of people in the Demon Gate at the moment, and Concubine Xuan has to guard against ......"

At this point, Concubine Shi glanced at Meng Xiuyuan deeply, and her voice was slightly lamented, which was slightly different from her previous official appearance:

"Gongzi Meng doesn't need to be so guarded against Concubine Xuan, I came here just to talk to Gongzi.

Listening is clear, and partiality is dark.

I always feel that it is some things that have not been clarified that make Childe misunderstand us.

In public and private, Concubine Xuan doesn't want to be an enemy of people like Gongzi, but wants to be friends with Gongzi.

If Childe doesn't even give me a chance to explain, isn't it too unfair? ”

Meng Xiuyuan chuckled when he heard this, and replied:

"I didn't expect that I hadn't seen the swordsmanship in the Cihang Sword Book today, so I first learned the words of the teacher......

Okay, anyway, I heard that both of these are Cihang Jingzhai's housekeeping skills, so I'll take the call.

With a cup of tea, the girl has something to say and a question to ask.

I must have listened carefully and said everything, and I can be regarded as thanking your sect for finding the news of the "Recipe of Eternal Life" for me......"

While speaking, Meng Xiuyuan went to the table and sat down, lifted the teapot and poured half a cup for himself and Concubine Xuan.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's attitude, Concubine Xuan couldn't help but shake her head lightly, sat down and took a sip of the bitter tea in the cup, and then said softly:

"Meng Gongzi, I understand that day when you saw a luxurious scene in the Pure Meditation Zen Buddhism, you felt displeased.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't think that a monk should have too many worldly pleasures, which indirectly strain the people.

Fei Xuan is not a disciple of Pure Mind Zen Buddhism, and it is difficult to explain anything for them.

Suffice it to say that at this time of crisis, the first priority is to unify the world and restore stability. Only in this way can the thousands of people of Li get rid of this sea of misery as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, Childe must think so in his heart.

Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, we may be able to put aside some positions and disputes first, and work together more.

After the world is peaceful, it will be more appropriate to distinguish these details......"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head and said to the senior concubine:

"After chaos, it is easy to teach, and it is easy for the hungry to eat.

There are some things that can be more effective if you do them when the situation is still undecided.

I have a different position with your faction, and I am afraid that there is no chance of cooperation......"

The senior concubine was exquisite, how could she not hear the hidden meaning in Meng Xiuyuan's words, she immediately frowned slightly, and whispered to Meng Xiuyuan:

"Meng Gongzi, Concubine Xuan really doesn't understand.

What did we do to make Gongzi treat us as stubborn moss and have to be eliminated between the coming of the new dynasty?

The people of Cihang Jingzhaimen rarely enter the WTO on weekdays, and they are not greedy for the power and wealth of the world. If it weren't for the troubled times, or the devil's rebellion, Cihang Jingzhai has always been closed to the mountain gate.

Even Concubine Xuan herself, if she hadn't been ordered by her master to go down the mountain to end the troubled times, she should have just pursued the way of heaven and devoted herself to studying the "Cihang Sword Codex......" on the emperor's peak."

Speaking of this, Concubine Xuan took a light breath, looked at Meng Xiuyuan with a moving gaze, and said with a little resentment:

"If Childe doesn't believe me, I would like to swear to Childe with my own Dao heart:

My concubine has no intention of having a position of power in the mortal world, and she will never seek the slightest benefit for herself after assisting the Lord to unify the world.

If I violate this oath, I will be confused, my Dao heart will be shattered, and my martial arts will be wasted......"

Meng Xiuyuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Concubine Xuan's words, and then looked at Concubine Xuan's gaze and eased a little.

However, he was not persuaded by the concubine in the slightest, but just smiled lightly, and then said again:

"Miss Shi, have you ever thought about why you have no soldiers and horses, no food and grass in Cihang Jingzhai, and you can always affect the general trend of the world?

The reason why you can go down the mountain alone, and you can hold the Heshi Bi and do the thing of 'choosing the Lord and ending the troubled times', isn't it because of Cihang's fame, power, and status in the world?

And where do these fame and power come from and why? ”

When the concubine heard this, she was a little speechless for the first time in this conversation.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu drank all the tea in the cup casually, and at the same time got up and said to the concubine:

"Miss Shi, let's talk about it today.

It's just that before you leave, I have something else that I want to clarify with you.

The unification of the world does not necessarily have to rely on your Cihang Jingzhai to complete it as soon as possible.

And the Hebi, which symbolizes the imperial power in the world, may not necessarily be up to you to choose the master......"

When Meng Xiuyuan said this, his expression became more and more serious, and an inexplicable momentum came out of his body, which made the concubine's body tremble slightly:

"After three days, I will go up to the Pure Nian Monastery again and go to get the Nahe Clan.

Please also ask the teacher to know in advance and ask more helpers to take care of her. ”
