When He Xi'er arrived at the Nangong Mansion in Jingyang City, it was already half a month after Xiao Xia and the others left.
He Xi'er was very unhappy. Although the young heroes of the Righteous Path League led by her achieved remarkable results, after hearing about what happened here, she threw down a qiΔ and rushed over immediately, and then learned from Nangong Tong that she was born, and her pretty face was already blue.
Nangong Tong didn't hide it from her. At least not in the matter of Mingyue and Xiaoxia, Nangong Tong has always been half admired and half admired, and Nangong Tong also felt that even in the arrangement of the second uncle, this cousin also occupied a very high position, in this short period of time, whether it is the Zhengdao Alliance or He Xi'er's reputation in the rivers and lakes has been so loud that it is almost not inferior to the heads of the major factions, of course she is also qualified to know what she wants to know.
"Where is the second uncle? I'm going to look for him. He Xi'er asked with a blushing face.
"The second uncle and the second uncle are here. It's in the small courtyard of listening to the water in the back. He's been with me for the past ten days. Speaking of this, Nangong Tong's face also became very strange.
"Second uncle has always been here?" He Ji'er was also stunned. Her second uncle is the commander of the shadow guard, and he has never seen the tail of the dragon, and rarely stays in one place for a long time. And now is the time when all parties are in chaos, especially with Tangjiabao A bunch of things need to be dealt with, she thought she needed to go to Shuzhou to see him. "What is he doing here?"
"Er, he is here to accompany someone," Nangong Tong's face became more and more strange.
"Accompany someone, who to accompany? It can't be that the uncle is here too, right? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"Of course it won't be Uncle Yes"
"Who is it? Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain? or the abbot of the Pure Land Zen Temple? Even if it is their second uncle, they don't need to stay here for more than ten days, is it from the imperial city?"
"The Bad is the Three Masters of the Ten Thousand Tigers Gang Luo Circle"
"Who?"
"Ten Thousand Tigers Gang Three Masters Luo Circle"
He Xi'er's expression was like someone had stuffed ten rotten eggs into her mouth at once, and even the iron blue on her face faded.

"Someone once said to me that the difference between man and beast is ideal, but there is no difference other than that. I couldn't agree with that. Look at the beasts. Once the spirit is gradually enlightened and becomes a demon, it is not necessarily stupider than a person, and even as the years go by, the smarter it is even more than ordinary people. Confucian sages also said that people are different from beasts, and those who love and hate hatred, Wang Baxiong, after all, are actually just an extension and derivation of animal instincts. Even so, it is necessary for adults to be able to protect it, to be able to bloom to the fullest, and the rest of the mediocrity is just buried in life, and today's food is only for tomorrow's food to accumulate strength, and the people who are simply the same as pigs in captivity. And only a very small number of people who have a clear understanding of the world, have ideals, and have pursuits. It is the real reason that leads human beings to be different from beasts. Such as the ancient Fuxi Yellow Emperor, such as the Buddha Taozun, such as the Confucian sage. β
Looking at Nangong Wuji, who was sitting at the table and talking to himself, although this was not the first or second time, Luo Yuanhuan still had a very unreal feeling, if it weren't for living in this Nangong mansion for so long. If it weren't for the fact that this person was indeed brought by Nangong Gongzi in person, and then respectfully held the junior salute beside him, and there was a majestic bearing that ordinary people never had between this person's gestures, he would not believe that this was the deputy commander of the Shadow Shirt Guard. There is no other reason, such a high-ranking and powerful person, who can almost be said to stand at the top of the list of rivers and lakes, no matter how you think about it, you can't think of any reason to waste time on yourself and chat with yourself.
This Nangong Wuji Lord should indeed be very busy. For example, even when he was here, Luo Yuanquan had seen several times someone send him a secret report to ask him to look at or give instructions, and Nangong Wuji would often disappear from this mansion for half a day and a day, but he would come back soon after all, and it seemed that as long as he was free and had leisure, he would come to check his injuries, and then chat with him here.
And that's not even the most incredible. The most incredible thing is that Luo Yuanhuan actually seems to be able to feel that Nangong Wuji is very happy and interested in this matter. Not out of interest, not out of necessity and need that people in this position usually consider to do things, but simply enjoy the process.
But Luo Yuanhuan couldn't find anything interesting in this conversation, and most of the time it was Nangong Wuji who was talking, so he could only simply reconcile. Even if it's not because of high status. It's just that from the perspective of vision, he feels that he doesn't seem to be qualified to be Nangong Wuji's interlocutor.
"What, does Master Luo think this makes sense?" Nangong Wuji asked as he looked at Luo Yuanhuan.
"It does make sense, if it weren't for the Dao system created by those saints and the inheritance handed down, what is the difference between us and those barbarians who eat meat and drink blood from Xidi? Who said this? I don't know who has such an opinion?" This Lord Nangong sometimes seemed to think that his speech was a little monotonous, and he would take the initiative to ask his opinion, at first he was still very uncomfortable, but he quickly responded freely.
Luo Yuanquan himself also felt a little strange at this point, originally he thought that the inferiority caused by this difference in status would make him at a loss, but he didn't expect that he would adapt to it quickly. In the face of this most powerful and influential figure in the rivers and lakes, he can also talk calmly, and if someone told him before that he could do this, he would never believe it. But as he got along with Nangong Wuji, he also felt that something deep in his heart that even he had forgotten for a long time was slowly sprouting.
"This is said by a friend of mine, and it is my most recognized friend. This friend has helped me immensely, and much of what I am doing today is actually due to his previous arrangements and guidance. Nangong Wuji replied in a very nostalgic tone.
"Oh, can be so praised by Lord Nangong, I don't know which hero in the world is it?" Luo Yuanhuan was also a little surprised, Nangong Wuji was almost standing at the top of the rivers and lakes, and it was actually because he got the guidance of others.
"My friend, though he was very talented and amazing, was not famous. Only a handful of people in the world know about him. β
"Oh, is it a hermit?"
"Hehe, how can a man who can say such a thing be willing to be a hermit? The reason why no one in the world knows is only because he was not of illustrious origin, and died at a young age before he became famous. β
"Ah, this is really a jealous talent" Luo Yuanquan couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for this big man who has not yet become famous.
"Actually, it can't be regarded as jealousy, it can only be said that he himself failed to pass his own level, after all, no matter how lofty the ideal is. No matter how talented you are, if you don't let go of the consciousness in your heart, then the ideal is no different from a delusion, or a dangerous delusion that will only bury you. This friend of mine couldn't let go of the obsession in his heart, couldn't see the obstacles in front of him clearly, and chose the wrong path after all. Then he was killed on the road. β
"Killed? Then Lord Nangong must have avenged him. β
"No, no. Because that's his own choice. He knew before he embarked on that path that it was likely to be a dead end, but he still chose to go for it. He even sued me that even if he died, I didn't have to avenge him. What's more, even if he died, his path did not stop, and the person who harmed him himself was retributed. Killed by someone else. Speaking of this, Nangong Wuji also sighed. "Cause and effect rotation. Heavenly Dao Cycle. Creation makes people. These words were the most hated to hear when I was younger, but now that I think about it, it makes sense."
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Lord Wuji, Miss He Ji'er is here, ask to see you outside." β
"The three masters will rest by themselves, and I will go to see my niece. Nangong Wuji stood up.
"Lord Nangong, please take care of yourself. Luo Yuanquan hurriedly gave up his hand and reluctantly stood up from the seat to see off the guests.
looked at the back of Nangong Wuji leaving. The strange meaning in Luo Yuanhuan's heart hadn't had time to dissipate. Just now, he clearly heard emotion and a trace of confusion from Nangong Wuji's voice, this kind of emotion should never have appeared on the face of a person like him who almost controlled the fate of the vast majority of people in the world, what was even more strange was that such a clear only to close friends was said, why did Nangong Wuji say it to him?
###
"Second uncle, who is this and what kind of three masters of the Ten Thousand Tigers Gang are? Are you staying here all these days for this person? Is this and this three masters actually some kind of big man?" Unconsciously, He Xi'er's first question after seeing Nangong Wuji became this.
"I know you must be very strange in your hearts. But I don't want to say much about this matter in my heart, and you will slowly know the true identity of the three masters in the future. Now I'm here to guard it personally, in order to prevent the news from leaking out and attracting some juniors. When his injuries get a little better, I'll make my own arrangements. If it is Shun, this Luo San will be a great help for us in the future, and he will also be the best person to conspire with us, you don't have to underestimate him now, maybe you will have more places to ask him for advice in the future......"
The smile on Nangong Wuji's face made He Xi'er's heart even more weird. She could see that her second uncle was really happy, she hadn't seen such an expression on her second uncle's face in many years. It's just that there was such a big accident before, and even the eleventh young man of the Tang family was killed, she felt that this was already a big leak, and now it seems that Nangong Wuji is in a good mood.
"But you rushed here in such a hurry, you shouldn't have asked this, right? The road you led was much smoother than this Jingzhou, and at this time it was the time of harvest, but you rushed here, but you missed the great opportunity to make a name for yourself. β
He Xi'er paused, picked up the thoughts that had been thrown away before asking, "I came to ask, second uncle, why do you want people to quietly attack Qingfeng Dao Chief?"
"It's just this?" Nangong Wuji was also a little surprised by He Xi'er's question. "That person is not a very important person, but there is an important matter that may fall into his hands, so I asked him to investigate secretly, and when it is convenient, he quietly caught and inquired. You're just here for that?"
"Qingfeng Dao is my friend, so I naturally care. He Xi'er's face was a little red with anxiety. "And I invited him to join the Righteous Dao Alliance, second uncle, you can ask him directly if you have something, at least you should inform me, why do you want to arrest people directly like this?"
"Why can't you just arrest someone?" Nangong Wuji asked rhetorically. "That person was only put under the name of Maoshan under your recommendation. According to the information received, that Daoist was originally just a wild Taoist priest with no sect and no sect. At most, the master seems to have some dealings with Xu Zhengzhou, but judging from the temperament of Xu Zhengzhou's old man, Xianyun Yehe, most of them are also inrelevant people. However, the thing that may fall into his hands is a very related thing, if the news is accidentally leaked, it will involve an unnecessary turmoil, and the most appropriate way is naturally to find an opportunity to seize it and interrogate it carefully. β
"But he's my friend"
"If that's the only reason, you're a little disappointed in me. Nangong Wuji's voice was slightly cold. "I sued you. If you want to make a real big business, then you have to stand at a high enough height and be calm enough to judge. Of course, the righteousness of friends cannot be avoided, but when looking at the overall situation, the first thing to consider is the pros and cons, and the trade-offs will be the key to distinguishing you from other mediocre people. That person and you only met by chance a year or two ago. You're going to give up the fruits of your hard work for the sake of his news?"
"But but," He took a deep breath. "Even from the perspective of the overall pros and cons, it is harmful to attack the Qingfeng Dao Chief. Tang Si Shao Tang chuckled and he was a friend of life and death, and now he and the Tang family were at a critical moment in a subtle game, maybe we would affect the actions of Qingfeng Dao Chang and move his whole body."
Nangong Wuji shook his head and said lightly: "You also underestimate the Tang family too much." The more critical it is, the more it will not affect the overall situation because of some personal friendships. If it were Tang justice, there might still be some possibilities, but his younger brother didn't have the courage to do so. He has no ability to break the rules of the Tang family indiscriminately. β
"He and the Pure Land Zen Temple's Mingyue girl is also very good, Mingyue girl has such magical powers at such a young age, the master must be a hidden monk, if Mingyue girl sacrifices her life to maintain the Qingfeng Dao Chief, maybe it will"
Nangong Wuji smiled with some disdain: "You don't know the origin of that Mingyue girl, but it's just a false rumor, so you say that she is a person from the Pure Land Zen Academy." I sue you. The truth is far from what you think, that woman has a lot of secrets hidden in her body, and if she uncovers them all, she will be the first to arrest her. Your third uncle recognized the woman a long time ago, but he felt that the secret was of little use to us, so he let it go and ignored her, and when I finished dealing with the important matter here and after the negotiation with the Tang family, I had to go to the two of them in person. β
He Xi'er's face slowly became more and more ugly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't find anything to say.
"What's wrong? It seems that this 'friend' has a bit of a weight in your heart. Nangong Wuji smiled. Looking at He Xi'er's eyes, it was very soft, mixed with the majesty between his words and demeanor, exuding the kindness unique to the elders. "Could it be that Ji'er still has some different friendships with this Qingfeng Dao Chief? Don't worry, in this case, I promise not to hurt his life. Just ask about the whereabouts of that thing. And the second uncle will pay attention to the ways and means, and will never let you have a knot between you and this Qingfeng Dao Chief. β
"Whereever, second uncle, don't talk nonsense! This man just saved my life before, and I feel that I can't owe him. As long as I pay off this life-saving grace, I won't bother to pay attention to that kind of lascivious scoundrel!" He Xi'er's pretty face suddenly turned red, and then she let out a sigh of relief, and her face and voice calmed down again and became serious. "What's more, I have already made up my mind to make a vigorous career with my second and third uncles, to create a better tomorrow for the people of the world, and to leave my own mark on the history, so as to live up to the past in this world, where can I still take care of the personal feelings of my children. Don't say that there is no such thing at all, and even if there is, I should abandon it like a piece of, and I will never let these boring things mess with my mind. β
"If you can really have this kind of awareness, that is the premise of becoming a great tool. Nangong Wuji nodded, looking at He Xi'er with some relief, but then his tone slowly became solemn. But you have to discern whether this realization comes from your own heart or just a momentary whim. After all, for a daughter's family, this burden may be too heavy. Your third uncle and I actually don't want any of the descendants of the Nangong family to sacrifice on our road, no matter whether it is life or happiness, it is not shameful to be a stable and peaceful rich child under your uncle's wings, so we will never force any of the children of the family to follow us. β
"Second uncle, rest assured, this is naturally my consciousness after I seriously thought about it. He Xi'er's eyes were only slightly confused, and she became firm in the blink of an eye. "If you can't even see and let go of this little bit of children's personal feelings, then even if you have the best talent and talent, it will be in vain. Just like my dad and my mother. The dignified Shangqing Sect, one of the four Nangong Sects, has lived in obscurity on the mountain behind Namao Mountain for more than ten or twenty years, and I don't know what they are for. β
"You don't understand their suffering," Nangong Wuji sighed slightly. "But you have such determination and awareness, and I am very pleased with my second uncle. In that way, I just have an idea to tell you. β
"What is it?"
"This is just an idea that I temporarily came up with after the correspondence with the Tang family in the past two days and is related to you, you don't need to answer this matter immediately, it all depends on your own mind, if you think it is not suitable, then think of another idea. β
"What the hell is it? Second uncle, just tell me. β
"Tang Sishao Tang chuckled as you said just now, you know each other, right?"
"Yes, that's when I went to the Divine Machine Hall to find out who was behind the use of the Devil's Heart Spell. At that time, I didn't understand the original intention of my second uncle asking me to set up this righteous path alliance, and I was still naΓ―ve enough to think about drawing him into the righteous path alliance. He Xi'er nodded, and the figure of the man who was better looking than a woman appeared in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.
"What do you think of this man?"
"Very powerful, very interesting person" He Ji'er remembered all the things of the day, and her pretty face was unconsciously a little red.
"Oh, it looks like you have a good impression of him. That's great. Of course, Nangong Wuji saw He Xi'er's expression, and he seemed a little unexpectedly happy. "The two of you are married on behalf of our Nangong family and the Tang family, what do you think?"
