Volume 5: Chu Ming Three Hundred and Fourteen: Tian Shuangyu
After defeating Lou Qingyao, the five of them rushed all the way to Ruixuan Town, where Qian Chao received a strange letter.
The letter was obtained in Bu Yanqi's shop, and Bu Yanqi had a strange face when he handed over the letter:
"Senior Brother Qian, this letter was sent by a passing foreign monk, that person is very unfamiliar, and he wants to hand it over to you by name, leave the letter and leave, and I didn't leave a name, I originally planned to hand it over to you after returning to the sect, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Qian to come over today."
The envelope was sealed, with only a few words on it, "Qian Chao Gongzi Taiqi", but there were only two words "inside" where the sender's name should have been left.
Qian Chao did not open the letter immediately, but took care of some business matters and left.
In Song Fenglou's room, Qian Chao opened the letter, unfolded the letterhead inside, and after taking a look at it, he let out a "huh" sound, and seemed to be very surprised.
"What's wrong? Who wrote it? Tang Ping on the side asked curiously.
The letter was not long, Qian Chao read it in a few glances, and handed it to her when he heard Tang Ping say this.
When Tang Ping took the letterhead and looked in front of a few companions, the handwriting on the letterhead was beautiful, and after reading it, several companions were also puzzled, of course, this does not include Lu Pingchuan, because he didn't know a lot of big characters, so he could only follow along like a lively one, but the content of the letter was incomprehensible.
"Eh, Sister Tang, who wrote this letter to Brother Qian, what is written on it?" Lu Pingchuan asked.
"The letter was written by Tian Shuangyu to Qian Chao, asking him to meet in the sect."
"Tian Shuangyu? Isn't that the mother-in-law from the Tian family? What is she looking for Brother Qian to do? ”
"Who knows?"
"Hmph, I guess that mother-in-law is not well-intentioned!"
"Not necessarily," Qian Chao said on the side, "If she arranges to meet somewhere else, maybe I will be worried, but in the sect, I don't want to harm me, go and meet her, see what she says, well, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
……
The Five Spirits Sect is a very large area, surrounded by five mountains around the mighty Tianshui Lake, and the five sects are built according to the mountains, in fact, the five mountains are just a general statement, the five gates in the sect, each gate occupies a continuous mountain range, only the main peak is by the lake. Even in Jiuxuan, which has the most people, in addition to the lively and noisy place where the disciples live, the places where the senior brothers who built the foundation and the elders who built the cave mansion are all quiet and elegant, and there are many other places that are just lush and inaccessible mountain forests, and this creates an opportunity for Qian Chao and Tian Shuangyu to meet secretly.
After returning to the sect, Qian Chao began to prepare to meet Tian Shuangyu, he agreed with several partners that when he went to meet, Li Jian would go with him, not to prevent Tian Shuangyu from having any other thoughts, but because someone must be responsible for keeping an eye on the nearby movements to prevent others from approaching and eavesdropping, at the same time, the other three waited at Qian Chao's residence, and after Qian Chao and Li Jian returned, they would tell everyone the content of the conversation, and then discuss it together.
Before the appointed time, Qian Chao came to the agreed place, Li Jian was already lurking nearby, and he patiently waited for Tian Shuangyu to appear.
This place is selected by Tian Shuangyu, it is very secret, it is a wooden pavilion in the mountains and forests, the wooden pillars of the pavilion are still growing trees of the thickness of the sea bowl, the top cover of the pavilion is also woven with the branches and leaves of the tree, the branches are green, it is the real green shade such as the cover, the tables and chairs in the pavilion are simpler, it is the wooden stake left after a big tree is cut down and polished and smoothed, even the wooden bench around the circle is also a stump, the whole pavilion looks very wild.
Qian Chao couldn't help but smile secretly after seeing it, this place was still within the Jiuxuan, and he, a disciple of the Jiuxuan, didn't know that there was such a quiet place, but Tian Shuangyu, who had not been in the Five Spirits Sect for a long time, found here, it seems that the woman has really put a lot of effort into meeting today.
The agreed time to meet is during the day, although it is inconvenient during the day, but if Tian Shuangyu quietly comes out to meet Qian Chao at night, it is likely to attract the attention of other Tian families, so I chose an hour when the scorching sun is the first to meet Qian Chao.
When the appointed time came, Qian Chao, who was sitting in the pavilion, heard the footsteps from the nearby dense forest, followed the sound, and flashed a touch of goose yellow from the forest, and then a slender figure walked out of the forest.
It is Tian Shuangyu.
Coming to the pavilion, Tian Shuangyu looked at Qian Chao and said:
"Mr. Qian is really a believer, and he came as promised."
"I'm curious about what Miss Tian is looking for."
"I'm not busy, I know the concerns in Mr. Qian's heart, please let down my guard, today Shuangyu wants to talk openly and honestly with Mr. Qian, if we can talk, it will be good for both of us."
"When Miss Tian said we, do you mean you or your Tian family?"
"Mr. Qian is still very fond of the Tian family, let's put it this way, I came to meet Mr. Qian, not only for myself but also for the Tian family."
Qian Chao's eyes narrowed when he heard this, staring at Tian Shuangyu's flower-like face, and said cautiously:
"In this way, Miss Tian came to see me today, that Tian Du Gongzi ......"
"Naturally, he didn't know, and we hid it from him when we met and talked."
"Okay, please take a seat."
After sitting across the table made of large tree stumps, Tian Shuangyu first took out an object, gently placed it on the table and retreated towards Qian Chao.
"Mr. Qian, this is the last resort, the Tian family wants me to use it on you."
It was a small wooden box with a sauce red, and Qian Chao stared at it and asked:
"What is this?"
"Deer Spirit Gu." Tian Shuangyu said lightly.
"What!"
Qian Chao learned from Cai Jian that when Qin Suiyi was refining the "Shuangsheng Pill", he didn't know what it was used for, so the well-informed Cai Jian gave Qian Chao a lot of secret medicine in the cultivation world, in addition to explaining the "Shuangsheng Pill" clearly, he also mentioned the "Deer Spirit Gu", so when Qian Chao heard that the small box in front of him contained the obscene Gu that was famous in the cultivation world, his color suddenly changed.
"Your Tian family...... It's really going to do anything! ”
Tian Shuangyu was not surprised by Qian Chao's reaction, sighed and said softly:
"Who's to say it's not......"
As soon as this woman met, she gave this bottom to herself, what was she going to do?
"Miss Tian, you tell me about this, why?"
"I want to work with Mr. Qian."
"Cooperation? Miss Tian, if I guessed correctly, are you going to betray the Tian family? ”
"Betrayal? No, it's not betrayal, I just want to be my own master in some things, and I will never betray the Tian family. ”
"Then I'm a little confused."
Tian Shuangyu said slowly:
"The reason is actually very simple, Mr. Qian, listen to me slowly, when I was in the Tian family, I rarely heard your name, and I knew very little about you, after all, everything about you can only be discussed by those people in the Tian family who can decide big things, and then the reason why I came here is that although it is forced by the Five Spirits Sect, it is also related to you, to be honest, I am very reluctant to come, and I still have some resentment towards you for this. Just before leaving, the head of the Tian family privately asked me to hand over this deer spirit Gu to me, saying that in case our group can't solve you in the Five Spirit Sect, then there is only one last way...... Let you be our person, hehe, Qian Gongzi, not to mention my surname Tian, Shuangyu's Puliu posture, I think it must not be a good match in your heart, and I don't want to use this method to practice myself, let alone become a chess piece of the Tian family, what I want is to become a person who can pick up chess pieces in the Tian family......"
Speaking of this, Qian Chao realized that this Tian Shuangyu was a woman with ambitions for the power of the Tian family, and couldn't help but look at her twice, but in the face of Qian Chao's gaze, Tian Shuangyu didn't care, and continued:
"I came to the Five Spirits Sect with a full stomach of resentment, therefore, when I saw you, I wanted to know what kind of character you were, and this is why there was that fight between us, I challenged you, obviously I cultivated above you, obviously you were exhausted after eight consecutive battles, but what I didn't expect was that I was defeated in your hands, and I was cautious about you from then on. Well, also, remember your trip to Wok Mountain? I was there at the time, I think you should also know the cause and effect of that incident, where I really saw your methods, and since then I have shaken my mind to do something to you to get rid of you, and later, it was my little nephew Tian Du who wanted to get rid of you through Wen Liang, well, it's not a secret, Wen Liang recruited those spirit stones used for casual cultivation, which was given to him by my little nephew, but Wen Liang also failed, and he was defeated so completely......"
"After getting the news of Wen Liang's failure, I understand, I'm afraid there is no way to get rid of you this time, Qian Gongzi, your current identity is still the head of the Qi refining disciples of the Five Spirit Sect, in my opinion, you, and your partners, you are a sharp sword that the Five Spirit Sect is sharpening now and will slash at the Tian family in the future......"
When he said this, Qian Chao couldn't help but ask:
"What do you Tian family want to do?"
Tian Shuangyu said lightly:
"What to do? Hehe, what else can the Tian family do, what the Tian family wants is nothing more than to be bigger! ”
"Bigger?"
"That's right, it's to be bigger, people say that there are six sects in the world, and in the eyes of the Tian family, why can't it be the seven sects in the world, what the Tian family wants to do is to become the seventh major sect in the world, and this is exactly what the Five Spirits Sect does not allow."
Qian Chao didn't quite understand, and immediately asked:
"But...... The Tian family wants to be bigger, so what does it have to do with the Qian family below? Why do you want to think about the Qian family and me again and again? ”
Tian Shuangyu looked at Qian Chao with some curiosity and said:
"You really don't understand? Well, that's right, your Qian family is not a family of cultivators, and it's normal to think about it and not be clear about these, let's put it this way, Mr. Qian, the Tian family owns the entire Qi country, although there are different intentions, but the Tian family is still subordinate to the cultivation family of the Five Spirits Sect on the surface, although your Qian family is only an official family within the Qi country, but the Qian family has a jade plate in the Qian family, and there will be a selection every sixty years, isn't this how you came to the Five Spirits Sect, that is to say, there will be monks from your Qian family in the Five Spirits Sect, through the monks of the Qian family, The Five Spirits Sect has a reason to meddle in the affairs of the Qi State, of course, who will care about the small things, and the things that want to interfere are all big things, so to speak, if the Tian family does too much, the Five Spirits Sect can't bear it, if you want to suppress the Tian family, the easiest and most direct way is to support a family within the Qi country to compete with the Tian family, and then your Qian family will inevitably jump from a family of officials in the world to a family of cultivators, and when the Qian family rises, there must be the full support of the Five Spirits Sect behind it. The Tian family can't resist it, and over time, even the entire Qi country will change dynasties, and the people sitting on the dragon chair will be replaced by the people of your Qian family, and at the same time, the Tian family will gradually decline and even die, these are what the Tian family is most afraid of. ”
Money tide says:
"Since you are so jealous, wouldn't it be good not to do this, why do you have to become the seventh sect in the world?"
"Hehe, Mr. Qian, you are a monk, and now you are refining qi and cultivating, do you want to become a foundation building monk in the future? Do you want to continue to break through and become a monk after building the foundation? You must think, I'm right, you see everyone has their own ideas, this idea, if it sounds good, it is self-motivated, and if it doesn't sound good, it is ambition. And the most important thing in the Tian family is such ambitious characters. The small family is looking forward to more and more people in the family who can practice, and the cultivation is becoming more and more profound, so as not to be swallowed up by other families, and the medium-sized family is thinking about how to further expand the strength of the family, so as to gradually keep up with those big families, and the big family, such as the Tian family, thinks more, in today's cultivation world, no matter which sect belongs to the land, there is no stronger family than the Tian family, and then take a step forward, it is the scale of the big sect, whether this step should be taken, The Tian family has actually hesitated for a long time, but they have already made up their minds, and they have done a lot of things secretly, and they can't hide it, in the Qi country, there are still many families who originally had the Jiaxuan jade plate of the Five Spirits Sect like your Qian family, but with the passage of time, they all died out, and you can guess the reason for it, in fact, if you didn't come to the Five Spirits Sect, maybe in a few years, your Qian family will be like this, and that time is the moment when the Tian family really takes that step, just because you are in the Five Spirits Sect, so, Your Qian family is safe for the time being, and the Tian family can't act rashly. ”
"Speaking of which, these are just superficial reasons, Miss Tian, if you dare to do this, your Tian family must have the support of other forces behind it, such as a big force like Mu Yangzong, am I right? The main reason for this was that they wanted to weaken the Five Spirit Sect. ”
"Of course, there are other forces involved, and it's not just Mu Yangzong, but these are all core secrets, not something I can know clearly, but one thing you said is wrong, the status of the Qian family is more important than you think, it's not just a dispensable decoration on the surface, if there is really a day when the Five Spirits Sect wants to do something to the Tian family, your Qian family is the best reason, and all the other major sects are not allowed to interfere, because this is the rule in the cultivation world, and the same is true in the land of other major sects, If they don't want the Five Spirits Sect to support a rebellious family on their land, then they must follow this rule, so the Qian family and you have become a thorn in the side of the Tian family. ”
Hearing this, Qian Chao nodded slowly, and then he looked at Tian Shuangyu and asked:
"Miss Tian, you haven't said why you want me to cooperate, and what will we do to cooperate?"
"Well, now that I think about it, before I came to the Five Spirits Sect, I was really like a frog at the bottom of a well, thinking that the most powerful thing in the world was only our Tian family, hehe, it's ridiculous, isn't it, but that's what I did think at the time, it seems that people still have to go out and walk often, and how long and long they can see. It was only after I came to the Five Spirits Sect that I realized what a powerful opponent the Tian family had provoked for me...... It is completely an opponent that the Tian family cannot defeat. What you just said is right, those forces behind them secretly support the Tian family, in fact, in order to weaken the Five Spirits Sect, for those forces who support the Tian family, no matter what happens between the Five Spirits Sect and the Tian family in the end, there is no loss for them, and among them, the Tian family has become a chess piece, the most likely thing is that the Tian family will eventually become an outcast, Qian Gongzi, I also have ambitions, so I don't want to see that in the future, my ambitions have not been realized but the Tian family is gone, this is one of them; Second, it's related to this deer spirit Gu, I said, I have ambitions, but I still have a bottom line, innocent, I don't want to practice myself for ambition, and I don't want to be forced by others to practice myself, no one can, meeting and talking to you today is my resistance, but not rebellion; Third, the Tian Du who came with me, although he is only a few years younger than me in age, but according to the generation of the Tian family, he wants to call me a little aunt, his father Tian Jiang, that is, the current head of the Tian family, hmph, that is, the guy who persecuted me, is one of my cousins, among the current nephews of the Tian family, only in terms of mind, I am one, Tian Du one, is the most outstanding, that is to say, when one day I compete for the position of the head of the Tian family, Tian Du will be my biggest opponent, except for him, I don't care about the other people in the Tian family, and Tian Du, this time I came to the Five Spirits Sect to get rid of you, and I don't want him to be a stumbling block for me in the future. So ......"
Speaking of this, Tian Shuangyu stared at Qian Chao with burning eyes, slowed down and said:
"With these three reasons, can we cooperate?"
Qian Chao listened and pondered, and finally nodded and said:
"Well, listening to Miss Tian say this, we can indeed cooperate."
Tian Shuangyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said eagerly:
"So Mr. Qian agreed to cooperate?"
"No, Miss Tian, I mean I think we can cooperate, but if I cooperate with you, it is equivalent to the five of us cooperating with you, so the matter of cooperation will have to be discussed with a few partners after we go back, but I guess it should be no problem."
Tian Shuangyu's face was slightly disappointed, she thought that this meeting would be able to determine the matter of cooperation, but she didn't expect Qian Chao to go back to discuss with the four people, but it could only be so, and then she continued:
"I might as well say more, just now Mr. Qian asked us what we can cooperate with, and I can reveal some of this to you in advance."
"Miss Tian, please speak."
"I know that Mr. Qian has experienced an unknown number of storms so far, and I may not take what I said in my eyes, but right now, well, it should be said that it will not be long before Mr. Qian will face another danger."
Qian Chao immediately realized something, and said:
"Is it Tian Du?"
"It's not just him."
"And Qin Suixu?"
"Mr. Qian actually found Qin Suixu, it's rare, but it's not just Qin Suixu, but Qin Suiyi plays a role in threading the needle."
"I want to hear about it."
"There is a gentleman in your Five Spirits Sect with a very deep background, named Jing Ji, Tian Du got to know this Jing Ji through Qin Suixu, and then the two hit it off, ready to join forces to get rid of you, pay attention, it's a team, I can't know how Jing Ji works, but Tian Du here I got the answer from just a few words, Qian Gongzi, this time Tian Du has taken great pains to arrange you, it seems that he is going to finish his work, don't think that he will spend some spirit stones to find some loose cultivation from the outside to deal with you like Wen Liang, This time he used the relationship of the Tian family, and the manpower was selected from many families, so by extension, Jing Ji's actions must not be small, Qian Gongzi, you must be careful. ”
These are all things that Qian Chao didn't think of, he knew that Qin Suiyu colluded with Tian Du, but he didn't expect Tian Du to join forces with the Zongnei to partner with him to his disadvantage, but Tian Shuangyu closed his mouth at this time, and Qian Chao asked:
"Specific...... Hmmm......"
Qian Chao's words stopped as soon as he spoke, and Tian Shuangyu on the other side smiled, but he understood that it was impossible for this woman to reveal half a word before he was really sure of cooperating with Tian Shuangyu, so it seemed that he should go back to discuss the matter with those partners earlier.
"Thank you Miss Tian for telling this, let's talk about it here today, cooperation is a big deal, you can't call the shots alone, you need to go back and discuss with a few partners, next time you should be able to bring good news."
"I hope so."
After agreeing on the time of the next meeting, the two were about to separate, but just as they were about to leave, Tian Shuangyu suddenly stopped and turned around and said:
"By the way, there is something I still want to let Mr. Qian know, the Yin situation who once harmed your Qian family...... It's dead! ”
When Qian Chao heard this, he immediately stared at Tian Shuangyu with sharp eyes and said:
"Yes...... You got rid of him, didn't you? ”
"Yes, Mr. Qian, you defeated Wen Liang, but Wen Liang did not die but fled, in case one day he was captured by the five spirits, if he was forced to say anything about the Tian family, it would always be bad for us, so those related to Wen Liang must be eliminated, so it can be regarded as not leaving future troubles."
"Humph! I'm afraid that even if Wen Liang can kill me, then Yin Guan won't live long! The Great Family......... It's really ruthless! ”
"This ...... It can be regarded as the helplessness of serving the great family, I thought that Mr. Qian would be happy to hear the news......"
"What's so happy about this, if it weren't for your Tian family's order, how could Yin Guo harm the ancestor of my family in the first place, of course what I really hate is not Yin Qian, but your Tian family!"
"Alas...... That's right, it was indeed the Tian family who gave Yin Guo the order at the beginning, and it was the one who gave us the order this time, Yin Kuang is also an understanding person, and he knew his ending at that time, he accepted his fate, and there was not even a trace of resistance, and we didn't embarrass him, and gave him a good time, but ...... Mr. Qian, there is another layer of meaning for me to tell you about Yin Kuang, Yin Kuang can also be regarded as a dead soldier of my Tian family, and the person Tian Du is looking for this time ...... They are all dead soldiers, and you must not take them lightly. ”
After that, Tian Shuangyu was about to turn around and leave.
Qian Chao asked behind her:
"Miss Tian, if one day you can be the master of the Tian family, what will you do?"
What Qian Chao said was whether the Tian family would continue to want to become the seventh largest sect in the world if Tian Shuangyu was in charge one day, and Tian Shuangyu naturally understood what he was asking, looked back and said with a smile:
"Mr. Qian, that was a long time later, it's a bit early to say now, but after all, I am a person who understands current affairs, and one day I can be the master of the Tian family, it also depends on the current situation at that time, if the Five Spirits Sect is still so powerful at that time, then the Tian family will definitely be obedient to the Five Spirits Sect and dare not cause any trouble."
Then the woman turned and left.
What she didn't mean was that if she could be in charge of the Tian family and the strength of the Five Spirits Sect was greatly depleted at that time, then I am afraid that the Tian family under her leadership would still make some moves.
After Qian Chao walked for a while, Li Jian's figure flashed out of the forest.
"Everything was fine just now, the woman came by herself, Brother Qian, what did she say?"
"Tian Shuangyu wants to cooperate with us."
"What?"
"Let's go back first, and let's discuss this matter together."
