Chapter 540: A Thousand Miles Away
In the main hall, the original-for-tat and uncomfortable atmosphere was completely dispersed by the self-deprecation of Mo Wuyan and Qing Lan.
Subsequently, Lu Fengbai and Ye Chengzhu discussed the future arrangements to prepare for the departure and stay of Yijian Villa and his party.
Mo Wuyan was the first to get up and leave the main hall, and as he was leaving, he patted Lin Manliu on the shoulder, motioning for the young man to leave with him.
Lin Manliu stood up and met Jiang Xu behind Mo Wuyan, who looked a little sluggish compared to before, and had no spirit at all.
Jiang Xu was slightly questioning, "Huh? Seeing that Lin Manliu didn't mean to reply, he followed Mo Wuyan and walked towards the exit of the main hall.
After Lin Manliu said goodbye to everyone present, he also left the main hall with the moon cold branch.
Ye Chengzhu looked at the back of the group leaving, and faced Ye Dangting and Lu Fengbai not far away.
He said out loud: "Although Jiang Xu was also put on the table, it is really difficult to guess this son's mind... Don't treat it as an ordinary person, the owner of Lu Zhuang needs to be cautious. β
Lu Fengbai's ten fingers were folded on his knees, and his expression was the same as Ye Chengzhu's.
"Hmm... We know what is at stake, but after all, we are Mr. Mo's disciples, and all the things that have been arranged by him have all been lost, and there is not one out of ten..."
Ye Dangting followed and echoed: "Chengzhu rest assured, Jiang Xu's heart knot has been on Queen Nasu from beginning to end, and now that the heart knot has been resolved, it is not a big traitor, it can still be used!" β
Ye Chengzhu listened to the words of these two owners, and made fun for no reason.
"The two of you are not afraid that other Jianghu sects will know that Yijian Villa is secretly hiding the remnants of the evil sect? In the past, I was looking for cold mountains and asking the flow of Sword Lake to splash you with dirty water, but now you have to put a pot of on your head? β
After Ye Dang heard this, the whole person immediately burst out laughing.
"It's not the same time it used to be... As long as Yijian Villa returns to the south, he can take that edict to fight the people, and the reputation that has already stinked is afraid that it will stink more? β
Lu Fengbai's eyes closed slightly, and he also chuckled.
"I didn't think about it... Along the way, our Zhuangzi has really become the second in the Evil Slaughter Sect..."
Although Yijian Villa tried its best to shirk the title of "one king and one marquis", Yanyang did not change his mind about the purpose of controlling the rivers and lakes in the south.
After they return to the south safely, Yijian Villa will inevitably be promoted by the Yanyang Dynasty to the status of the former Wenjian Lake, and win the entire southern rivers and lakes as the leader of the martial arts.
At that time, Yijian Villa will become a sword for the Yanyang Dynasty to control the southern land, and as for the person behind the scenes, he will have to wait for the competition between the various forces to be completed, and the final winner will do it.
Xiao Baoli, who was the king of the southern frontier and expanded the Liaoyuan army...
Integrate the Western Coalition Army and stabilize Jun Feiyu within the court...
Xie Qian, who sits in the north of the desert outside the Guan, looking at the land of the Central Plains...
All three are possible!
In addition to the three of them, there are also some forces that need to be paid attention to, such as the Burning Bone Three Mountains Co-Lord Yu Niu Huahe, and the fledgling Chu King Xia Huan at the moment.
Lu Fengbai seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Ye Chengzhu and spoke.
"But the evil is logically speaking, it should be to support Xia Huan, the king of Chu, why would Brother Yun bet on the entire evil to bet on the king of Northern Yan?"
Ye Chengzhu pondered for a moment and said aloud: "Exposing your true intentions prematurely... It will only make this King of Chu die early, and he will be crushed in the subsequent power competition, after all, the world is safe... But it's much more difficult than fighting the world! β
......
In a secluded pavilion in the courtyard.
After Mo Wuyan sat down, the remaining four people stood on both sides of the pavilion, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi near the corridor, and Jiang Xu and Ning Ke who were closer to the pool.
The scribe in a purple robe with big sleeves lazily prostrated on the stone table, and he did not look at any of the people present, so he began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Perhaps listening to the lack of movement in the pavilion, Mo Wuyan had no choice but to open his mouth to fan the flames.
"The game has come to an end, and none of you have won... Even I haven't won against Ah Qi, put it on the table and talk about it, so as to save yourself from suspicion in the future! β
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xu was silent, but raised his eyes to look at Lin Manliu on the other side of the stone table.
Lin Manliu's fists clenched and loosened, and after repeating this several times, he let out a long breath from his mouth.
After staring at each other, Lin Manliu's tone became colder.
"Jiang Xu, I just want to ask... Do you know what Su Ji wants in his heart? β
Jiang Xu replied: "I thought I knew, but I didn't know outside Xijing City..."
The reply of the eldest son of the Jiang family was just as Lin Manliu thought in his heart, but it also made Lin Manliu feel an inexplicable anger in his heart.
"So Master Jiang, you are here today to tell me that you are only being used by Su Ji? How is this different from the rhetoric of the previous deliberations at the Lodge? Do you think I can still trust you? β
At the beginning of the incident, Jiang Xu personally came to Yijian Villa and took the initiative to imprison himself in the villa, just to be able to counteract Su Ji.
For his many evil deeds in the slaughter of evil, all of them were washed away by the sentence "used by Su Qi".
So far, Na Su Ji hanged himself from the main hall, and the final outcome was beyond everyone's expectations, including him, the eldest son of the Jiang family.
For all his plans in these days, they are still all pushed on the dead Queen Su.
After listening to Lin Manliu's gritted teeth and asked, Jiang Xu looked a lot more relaxed, and such a change in demeanor made the other three people present a little puzzled.
Jiang Xu bowed his hand to everyone in the pavilion to the end, in order to show his attitude.
He said loudly: "Ah Qi told us before that she is just to take revenge, and when the six kings are all dead, she will return the whole world to the Xia clan..."
When Lin Manliu heard this, his fists, which had been loosened, clenched again.
"Tell the truth! If it is according to what you say now, why do you have to hand over the inkstone to me in Shangzhou City, and tell him that you will not push him to his current position? β
Jiang Xu laughed miserably and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you Lin Manliu learned about the secrets of the royal family, who would have known that he had become an idiot today?" As long as the Son of Heaven above the court does not die for a day, how can it be the turn of Jiang Yanlin to inherit the unification with a foreign surname? β
Ning Ke looked at the two of them who were full of gunpowder, and then looked down at the uncle who was pretending to be asleep.
She was adding chaos to everyone at the moment, so she had to raise her foot to kick Mo Wuyan's instep, but she never expected that the uncle, who was extremely strict with her disciples on weekdays, would kick her twice as a signal to continue to silence.
Shi Bomo is not... Do you want Lin Manliu and Senior Brother Jiang to continue arguing?
If you quarrel, you won't be noisy?
Ning Ke stepped back with such doubts, and gave up the stone table of the verbal battle to Lin Manliu and Jiang Xu.
Just as she was about to find a place to sit down and rest, Jiang Xu suddenly turned his head to look at her.
"Ning Ke, and you! Master's layout before and after, how can you not understand why the layout of the Eastern Capital has been repeatedly disrupted, if it is not for the evil to have a back hand, how long will the war in the Eastern Capital take? Don't you know? β
Ning Ke watched as the spearhead suddenly pointed at him, and looked at this uncle's proud protΓ©gΓ© with a puzzled expression.
She pulled out a folding fan from her waist and made a gesture to slam a stuffy stick at Jiang Xu's door.
While Ning Ke raised his hand, he sneered: "Master Jiang... Who can understand your position from the people who fell here and greeted the next set there? If I don't stop it, what if you really want to deceive your teachers and destroy your ancestors and deviate from the scriptures! β
Regarding Ning Ke's ridicule, Jiang Xu quickly clapped his hands and scolded with laughter after dodging the paper fan swing sideways.
"People who can't be used also want me to have a heart-to-heart relationship with you?"
"Before, I saw a depressed old dog, crying and complaining to my uncle..."
"Ning Ke, shut up for me!"
"I don't, slightly! Hurry up and quarrel with Lin Manliu, what did you quarrel with me? β
Jiang Xu's forehead was bruised, and he looked at Ning Ke who was shaking the folding fan in front of him, and the look of disdain in his eyes was unmistakable.
Mo Wuyan listened to the noise in the pavilion and didn't get to the point, so he had to open his mouth and continue to add fuel and vinegar.
saw a wave of his purple robe, and everyone present looked at him.
Mo Wuyan pointed at Jiang Xu with one hand, and said loudly: "Jiang Xu, helping Su Qi to cause trouble in the rivers and lakes of the south, do you know how to be cocooned and bound to the current situation?" β
Without waiting for Jiang Xu to speak, Mo Wuyan raised his hand again and pointed in the direction of Lin Manliu.
"Man Liu, you have obviously been calculated by him so many times, why do you believe him again and again, don't you think that he will tell you the truth?"
As Jiang Xu said just now, for some people he doesn't look down on, he will definitely not have a heart-to-heart relationship with him.
Lin Manliu bowed to Mo Wuyan and said loudly: "The kid doesn't want to have too much contact with him, just because the situation is forcing it, Jiang Xu's proposal at that time is also suitable for the situation at that time..."
Jiang Xu clasped his hands around his chest, and he was still very proud of Lin Manliu's words.
From the slaughter of the evil gate in Lingnan, to the disturbance of the wind and snow Daguanlou, and finally the destruction in southern Xinjiang, he and Jiuzhao and Qianjingxiao have contributed a lot.
Among them, Lin Manliu, as a chess piece he selected, also played a great role.
If it weren't for the use of Lin Manliu and Yijian Villa, he would have had some plans to win over the gang before, who would make this fledgling kid easy to use?
Mo glanced at Jiang Xu with no words, and then sighed.
He said out loud: "Ah Ji just knows that your heart is like this, so that you have won so much in front of you, almost single-handedly overturning the entire southern rivers and lakes, so that you feel that you have the chance to win..."
When Jiang Xu heard this, his face first stiffened, and then he became sluggish.
He covered his face with his hands to hide his ugly expression, and finally sat weakly beside Mo Wuyan.
"Master... The disciple knows that he is wrong..."
Mo Wuyan sighed again: "Alas... I still need to think a lot about it in the future, so as not to lose the people in front of me again..."
Jiang Xu nodded silently and stopped speaking.
Lin Manliu looked at Jiang Xu's reaction a little distracted, and Mo Wuyan continued to explain when he saw this.
"Since Jiang Xu left the School Palace, he has always thought that his chess strength is higher than that of his junior sister, and he has been thinking of helping as a senior brother since he started to help plan the chaos in the south, and he has already fallen into Su Qi's plan..."
Lin Manliu asked out loud, "When did Mr. Namo find out..."
Mo Wuyan shook his head and laughed miserably, just like Jiang Xu's expression before.
"At first, when Jiang Xu led people to force me to go north, it wasn't until I got on the line with the king of Beiyan that I realized it..."
"I thought I could suppress my own disciple, but it turned out to be the same as Jiang Xu, and I couldn't return to heaven with one bad move..."
Regarding Su Qi's handwriting, Lin Manliu, who has faced him in person, understands it best.
He entered the game with his own body, and calculated all his senior brothers and masters, making them think that they were just trying to get out of the struggle for imperial power, but it turned out to be just for the emperor who was already stupid, and for the world that that person cared about.
Lin Manliu also sighed, he looked at Mo Wuyan and said.
"After the confrontation in the Dazhen Hall that day, she asked me to say to Mr. Mo that she had a very happy life all these years... There are no complaints or regrets..."
Mo Wuyan nodded, his expression did not change at all, as if he had known this result a long time ago.
Just as everyone was talking, a disciple of Yijian Villa ran from the far side of the corridor and stopped until he walked outside the pavilion.
After the comer saluted Mo Wuyan with a fist, his figure quickly turned to Lin Manliu.
The latter asked aloud: "Senior brother is here at this moment, but you have something to look for me?" β
"Senior Brother Lin, someone in the Imperial City has come here with a message, so that you can go to the Imperial City as soon as possible..."
Lin Manliu's expression froze, and a conjecture immediately popped up in his heart.
There are only two people in the Imperial City who will look for themselves... Is it the Northern Yan Wang Jun Feiyu, or is it Yanlin?
Mo Wuyan saw Lin Manliu's concerns, and immediately asked the person who summoned him.
"What is the appearance of the person who informs him, and it may be possible to distinguish whether he is a person in the army or an ordinary official?"
After the disciple who came to summon the interrogation, he replied to Mo Wuyan: "Look at his appearance and tone... It seems to be a eunuch in the palace, and the demeanor of the little eunuch we saw that day is very similar! β
Lin Manliu was relieved when he heard this, it wasn't the Northern Yan King Jun Feiyu after all.
Mo Wuyan looked at Lin Manliu and reminded him in words.
"Man Liu, you can go to the main hall later, follow Fengbai, when you listen to their confirmation, it is best to let the evil people go with you!"
Lin Manliu nodded in response: "Manliu understands that he will be cautious when entering the Imperial City this time!" β
After that, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi said goodbye to Mo Wuwen together.
Ning Ke looked at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, and just as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Mo Wuyan waving his hand.
"There is still some need to be careful..."
"Uncle Shi, it's not what you think!"
