The door opened, and seeing that it was Ning Zhen'an and Wang Xiulan, Bai Yutian hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The little nephew has seen the third uncle and the third aunt. ”

Ning Zhen'an spread half of his face with a bitter smile, and said with some embarrassment: "Virtuous nephew, can you let your third aunt live with you for a while to avoid the limelight?" ”

"Third uncle, where have you got, I'm planning to invite you tomorrow!" Bai Yutian welcomed the two into the house, closed the door, and saw that the two of them looked lazy, their complexions were not good, there were several cuts on their clothes, and there were still some blood stains on the side of the broken holes, as if they had just fought with someone, and asked in a low voice: "Third uncle, did the people from Qinglongtang find Rotten Keshan?" ”

Ning Zhen'an said bluntly: "Don't hide it from my nephew, not long after I returned home, those people from Qinglongtang went to find it, fortunately, your third aunt was not at home at the time, so it was troublesome." ”

"It's okay." Bai Yutian led Ning Zhenan and his wife towards the inner courtyard.

Entering the front yard, Bai Yutian introduced Ning Zhen'an and his wife to everyone, and then introduced everyone to Ning Zhen'an and his wife one by one, and politely let the two sit down.

Qin Hao said to Ning Zhen'an: "Ning Zhen'an, are you familiar with the affairs in the Qinglong Hall?" ”

Ning Zhen'an took the tea handed by Zhang Yan'er, the tea was not very hot, he drank it in one go, and replied: "He Zhencun has never shown his true identity since he took over as the master of Qinglong Hall for more than ten years, and all the affairs of Qinglong Hall are entrusted to Qu Wenfeng to take care of, and I will assist from the side." To say unfamiliar, some can't say it's reasonable. ”

The wise Venerable Master said: "Ning Zhen'an, if you hold the Blue Dragon Order, can you replace He Zhencun in charge of the Blue Dragon Hall?" ”

Ning Zhen'an replied: "Elder Li, Qin Haoming was once the hall master of the White Tiger Hall, he knows it, and seeing the Qinglong Ling is like seeing the hall master. However, I am being chased and killed by the Blue Dragon Hall, and if I don't have a good opportunity, even if I hold the Blue Dragon Order, I am afraid it will be difficult to win the trust of others. ”

Hu Yiqiu asked, "Ning Zhen'an, is the Qinglong Order on He Zhencun's body?" ”

Ning Zhen'an replied: "After Qu Wenfeng's death, He Zhencun couldn't find a suitable candidate to take charge of the Qinglong Hall for a while, so he took the initiative to show up, took the Qinglong Order back, and personally managed the Qinglong Hall. ”

The Wise Master answered, "If we abolish He Zhencun now and let you take charge of the Blue Dragon Order, with your current situation, what kind of opportunity will be created for you to gain the trust of those remnants of the Blue Dragon Hall?" ”

Ning Zhen'an said: "Elder Li, I don't know what you want me to do in charge of the Qinglong Hall?" ”

Bai Yutian said: "Third uncle, my family doesn't talk to each other. Our thoughts are quite straightforward, eradicate the Dragon Slayer Society, and eliminate the harm for the martial arts. After abolishing He Zhencun, I want you to take charge of the Qinglong Hall, gather all the remnants of the Qinglong Hall, and rob the tribute silver escorted by the Longwei Dart Bureau. We can also completely eliminate the forces distributed by the Dragon Slayer Society south of the Yangtze River, and do it once and for all, leaving no trouble. ”

Ning Zhen'an looked around and said to Bai Yutian: "Virtuous nephew, the Dragon Slayer Society originally started with the imperial court, with three walls and four elephants, with huge power, and it has inextricable interests with the government. If there are no big names in the court to support you, even if you destroy the Qinglong Hall, you may not be able to completely eradicate the Dragon Slayer Society, and you may repeat the mistakes of your father back then, which Qin Haoming should be very clear about. ”

Bai Yutian asked, "Why?" ”

Qin Haoming said: "The reason why the unjust, false and wrongful case that everyone could understand back then was the reason why you were able to frame your father successfully was because the rivers and lakes and the court united and worked together. ”

Why did the imperial court harm his father Bai Yu, Bai Yutian was a little unreasonable, and asked: "Senior brother, my father has never opposed the imperial court, why did the imperial court frame my father?" ”

Qin Haoming replied: "The reason why the imperial court wants to eradicate your father is because your father's prestige is too long, and the imperial court is afraid that your father's desires will swell in the future, so he will violate the ban by force, gather people to make trouble, and give birth to chaos, so he will strike first." ”

Bai Yutian said: "Then if I want to destroy the Dragon Slayer Society, why should I attach myself to the big figures in the court?" ”

Ning Zhen'an replied: "Virtuous nephew, if you can eradicate the Dragon Slayer Society with your own strength, then your prestige is much higher than that of your father, and how can the court rest assured of you!" As long as the Dragon Slayer Society colludes with the officials of the DPRK and China, you will become an enemy of the imperial court, and you will not be able to protect yourself, and what can you do to eradicate the Dragon Slayer Society. ”

Although Bai Yutian didn't know anything about politics, he also read some poetry books, and he still understood such a small truth as weighing the pros and cons, so he asked: "What is a big man in the DPRK and China?" ”

Qin Haoming answered: "I heard that there is a dispute between friends in the imperial court, headed by Lu Yijian, Gao Ruone and others on the one hand, and Fan Zhongyan, Yu Jing, Yin Zhu, Ouyang Xiu and others on the other, water and fire are incompatible. The Dragon Slayer Society is attached to Lu Yijian, Gao Ruone and others, if you want to eliminate the Dragon Slayer Society, you have to make friends with Fan Zhongyan and others to eliminate the taboo of the imperial court against you. ”

Bai Yutian is a mountain village man, he has never dealt with the government once or twice, and he knows nothing about the political affairs of the DPRK and China, so he asked: "Fan Zhongyan, who is it?" ”

Qin Haoming smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, I really can't answer you about this, so let's ask others." ”

Bai Yutian cast a very friendly gaze at the wise master, hoping to get an answer.

The Venerable Master took a deep breath and said, "Fan Zhongyan, in the past 20 years as an official, has been upright, bright and high-spirited, and has an awe-inspiring festival of asking for the people's lives. What repairs the sea weir, disaster relief, Suzhou water control, education and schooling, and do a basket of good deeds, for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, he is really a doer. In particular, the words of 'rather die in silence than live in silence' are even more high-spirited, the road of righteous people in the world, and it is a model for scholars. ”

Bai Yutian said: "Such a good person, it must be a good thing to be attached to him, I don't know what position he lives in now?" ”

Ning Zhenan replied: "I heard that Li Yuanhao in the northwest broke away from my Great Song Dynasty and became the emperor and established the Xia Kingdom, which is extremely troublesome. The imperial court was tightened due to border affairs, and His Majesty the Emperor recalled him from Yuezhou to Jingshi with Fan Zhongyan's expectations, and let him go to the northwest to defend against the enemy. ”

Bai Yutian was extremely happy when he heard that Fan Zhongyan would go to the northwest to defend against the enemy, just because his lover Cui Yingying was in the northwest, and asked with a smile: "Old Li, is Lord Fan Zhongyan's martial arts very high?" ”

Seeing that Bai Yutian looked like an idiot, the Venerable Master smiled faintly in his heart and replied, "Let me ask you, Emperor Qin and Han Wu, how is the martial arts of the two of them?" ”

Bai Yutian saw the wise master's contemptuous smile, and his heart was a little bitter, and he reluctantly replied, "These two big men still know more or less. The first emperor was a short man, swept Liuhe, created a feudal centralized county system, unified weights and measures, and the high martial arts were eternal. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relied on his own strength to beat the Huns to cry and call his mother, and since then China has a Han nation, and few people can compare with it. ”

The wise Venerable Master said, "If these two people come to the rivers and lakes to mingle, will their martial arts skills be high?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "Kick and fly two of them, and all of them will return to the west by crane." ”

The wise Venerable Master said, "The so-called hard worker governs man, and the hard man governs man." The big people want their brains to be smart, not their arms to be thick. The imperial court dared to send him Fan Zhongyan to the northwest to govern the army against the enemy, if his martial arts were not good, wouldn't it be a great misfortune for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhang Yan'er heard Wang Xiulan's stomach seem to "growl" slightly, walked to Bai Yutian's side, pulled his sleeve, and whispered: "Your third uncle doesn't seem to have lunch, do you want to ask?" ”

Bai Yutian was too involved in the conversation, he didn't care about these things, after listening to Zhang Yan'er's words, he calmed down and listened, Ning Zhen'an's stomach really had a "cooing" sound, smiled at Zhang Yan'er, and asked Ning Zhen'an and his wife: "Third uncle, third aunt, have you had lunch?" ”

Ning Zhen'an smiled astringently and replied: "From Lankeshan to the outside of the city, I was chased all the way, busy running for my life, dodging all the way, I really didn't have time to take care of it. ”

"Then you wait a while, and I'll get it for you." Bai Yutian walked towards the kitchen, followed closely by Zhang Yan'er.

Leaving the front yard, Zhang Yan'er accompanied Bai Yutian, and said as she walked: "Brother Bai, your third uncle betrayed your father's whereabouts back then, how can you see them as if they are fine?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "When the third uncle did that back then, he was also forced to be a scoundrel, and I can't hold a grudge against him." Moreover, for ordinary people, friendship is lighter than family affection, human nature, who wants to watch their wives and children innocently implicated by others and die in vain in front of themselves. ”

Zhang Yan'er asked in a low voice: "Then in the future, if you are under all kinds of scoundrels, will you also abandon friendship for the sake of family affection?" ”

Bai Yutian stopped, smiled bitterly, and replied: "Family affection lies in parting, friendship lies in trust, I may not do that." My master said that a pure Yangmen person, who should live a frank and honest life, is full of righteousness in his heart, even if his wife dies, he can commit suicide by martyrdom, and he must not be coerced by anything and be at the mercy of others. ”

When Zhang Yan'er heard this, her heart was a little uncomfortable, and she whispered: "Then aren't you a bad person?" ”

Bai Yutian replied with a smile: "From the moment I left Kuanglu Mountain, I never thought that I would definitely be a good person, but I have been working hard to be a good person, and I have never despaired. As for what is a good person and what is a bad person, it is difficult to say clearly. Whoever he helped, to whom he was a good person; Whoever harms is a bad person. I only hope that in my life, in the hearts of my family and friends, I can be a good person, with love and no hate. ”

Zhang Yan'er said: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, so it's very difficult to be a really good person." ”

Bai Yutian said: "Don't eat too much, don't say too much, don't do too much, be cautious in everything, don't pursue fame and fortune wantonly, and do it with your heart, I think it should be not far behind." ”

Zhang Yan'er smiled and said: "But if you decide to be the enemy of the Dragon Slayer Society, you are violating the principle of not doing too much, and I am afraid it will be difficult to be a really good person." Those bad guys, some of them are ruthless, some are revengeful, and they will do everything for their own interests, so you have to be careful. ”

Bai Yutian smiled slightly: "Okay! Just listen to Miss Zhang Yan'er. He strode into the backyard, crossed the threshold of the kitchen, walked to the stove, and quickly fiddled with the spatula.
