"Xu Qingfeng should not have attracted the attention of the rivers and lakes when he went down the mountain this time, he has now been hit by the poison on my body and you have been hit by a sword, and he must search for the antidote elixir." Liang Jian put aside the wet clothes he had changed, but Yan Shi handed over the hot tea and took a sip and said, "You can stare at the medical hall and pharmacy or something recently." ”

"Your poison medicine hall pharmacy is not easy to use, I'm afraid that only the Ten Thousand Buddha Antidote Pill of the Beichen family can do it." Speaking of this, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she looked at Yan Shi with a strange expression.

"Ten Thousand Buddha Antidote Pill?" Liang Jian muttered, it was very powerful to hear the name, but Zhou Wenjun's tone was a little wrong, she looked at the two of them puzzled, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Interpretation Pill can cure all kinds of poisons, and it is one of the miracle medicines of martial arts." Yan Shi said casually, his tone was indifferent, but whenever he spoke like this, it meant that he was in a bad mood, and sure enough, he continued, "It was originally the treasure of the Shentu family, and after being surrounded and suppressed, the spoils were distributed to the group of villains in Beichen. ”

"Self-defeating." After being silent for a long time, Liang Jian lowered his eyes and sneered and mocked, "This is called the wicked having their own wicked grinding." ”

Yan Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then seemed to realize something, nodded and agreed, "Yes, self-destruction, Xu Qingfeng has to go to Beichen Mansion to ask for the antidote, but he can't ask for it directly, if people know that he, the leader of the Jianghu Martial Arts Alliance, was poisoned by a little girl, it will be really a loss of face." ”

"So, he can only steal!" Seeing that the atmosphere was not so heavy, Zhou Wenjun dared to continue, "Then we can't ask him to steal it." ”

"No," Liang Jian analyzed calmly, "he has to steal it." ”

"Not only to steal it, but to let everyone know that he stole it." Yan Shi smiled sadly, and the two of them looked at each other tacitly, as if they were brewing some terrible conspiracy.

"We're a good match." Yan Shi looked at Liang Jian's slightly evil face and said involuntarily, "Sure enough, it's the one who is close to ink." ”

"Yes, you are insidious and cunning, I am extremely vicious, and I am a perfect match." Liang Jian poured another cup of hot tea for Zhou Wenjun and said, "How do you feel that we are getting less and less on the good path." ”

"Then don't go down the good path." Zhou Wenjun shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "If we are really bad people, then it is just right, our group of wicked people can sharpen the group of villains on the rivers and lakes, and save the hands of good people." ”

"That's a good point." Liang Jian agreed. Yan Shi took a sip of tea, his eyes were full of deep meaning, those people wanted to enjoy a peaceful life after their own selfish desires ruined other people's families, there was no such possibility!

Sure enough, the next day, there was news that the Beichen family was stolen and wanted to arrest the thief, and it was rumored that the thief was a white-haired old man, who was good at kung fu and athletic, and it was not uncommon in the Central Plains of the martial arts, but the rumor actually involved the leader of the martial arts alliance, which was a bit ridiculous.

"Does anyone believe these now?" Zhou Wenjun was a little depressed, sitting on the stall drinking tea soup, holding her chin to see how ridiculous the table opposite was laughing at the recent rumors, she bothered to let her subordinates spread it but no one believed it, and she tossed in vain.

"No, you must know that three people become tigers, and sometimes no matter how ridiculous the remarks are, as long as they are repeated enough times, some people will naturally believe them." Liang Jian stirred the tea soup in the bowl with a spoon, looking at the floating white foam, she was stunned, and then said, "It is precisely because of the absurdity that after it is confirmed, people will be annoyed and angry because of the self-righteous disbelief, and then they will turn back on this martial arts alliance leader who is sought after by everyone." ”

"Really?! Then I'll do it! Zhou Wenjun muttered in a low voice, looking high-spirited, as if he was going to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.

"It has to be spread, but it's much more than that. In addition to spreading the news that he stole Beichen Mansion at night, he also asked people to constantly beautify him until the best. Looking at Zhou Wenjun's somewhat puzzled expression, she continued, "Our martial arts alliance leader has not been in the rivers and lakes for many years, we have to help people recall his existence, right?!" ”

"Understood, climb high and fall heavy." Zhou Wenjun's mouth was bulging, and she muttered while chewing, looking cute. Liang Jian couldn't help but poke her bulging little face with her fingers.

"You taste this peach cake, it's much better than the little stall owner before." She picked up a piece of peach crisp and put it on her plate, urging her to eat it quickly, "This one is not only not greasy, but also very crispy, it's just amazing!" ”

"Hmm." She picked up the piece of peach cake and was eating, when she suddenly heard a group of people next to her discussing something, the voice was relatively small, she silently leaned over to listen, only vaguely heard something, 'Fuguang General', 'defeated', '30,000' or something.

"Is there any news from General Fuguang recently?" Liang Jian pressed Zhou Wenjun's peach crisp hand, slowly leaned over and asked quietly.

"How do you know?" She just ate with relish, didn't hear what the person next to her was saying, and muttered quietly when she heard Liang Jian ask, "The news I just got the day before yesterday, the previous general Fuguang with 30,000 soldiers and Beiyao's 70,000 enemy troops were in a stalemate for almost two months, just half a month ago, the prince of Xiling personally conquered and cut off their grain and grass, and the rear reinforcements and grain and grass have not arrived for a long time. The stalemate lasted until four days ago, and the front line was completely lost, according to sources, there was an internal ghost. ”

"30,000 soldiers against 70,000, in the case of grain and grass reinforcements can still stalemate for half a month, and there are ghosts, this Fuguang general is really powerful." Liang Jian secretly admired, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Wait, the front line is lost, so what's going on now?" ”

"Rest assured, the reason why Beiyao wants the prince to conquer in person is because the drought in the north a few months ago has affected them, and since then the people's livelihood has withered, and they urgently need to end this war and get food supplies or something. Therefore, Beiyao did not take the opportunity to move south, and the two countries are now in peace talks. ”

"So? Then there is no movement in Beichen Mansion? Liang Jian held his chin and pondered, the Beichen family is used to looking at the direction of the wind, and when executing Beichenlin, he may have to consider General Fuguang, but Beichenlin is dead now, not to mention, General Fuguang's power is shaky. Beichen Mansion should be eager to clear up the relationship, so as not to be implicated.

"Naturally, I heard that the group of people in the Beichen family crossed out the wife of General Fuguang, Beichen Yue, from the family tree. Even her mother's monument has been moved out of the ancestral grave. Saying that, Zhou Wenjun deliberately lowered his voice and continued, "In the past few days, Beichen Yue has been excluded everywhere, but fortunately, Lao Min has helped behind his back. ”

Liang Jian just hummed and didn't say anything more. Help? It's just that I'm afraid it's not enough, and the huge general's mansion is watched by many people on weekdays. Now that General Fuguang has not returned to the court, the burden of the whole family has fallen on Beichen Yue alone, without the help of the family, it is not easy for her to survive alone until now.

"In the past two days, I have been staring at the movements of the General's Mansion and the Beichen Mansion." She stirred the tea soup casually and said nonchalantly.

Zhou Wenjun agreed vaguely, seeing that she was eating so attentively, Liang Jian snatched the peach cake in Zhou Wenjun's hand, looking at her bulging cheeks like hamsters and stunned eyes, and felt funny, "Old Zhou, don't worry so much about our two left-behind children." ”

Not long after Yan Shi came back yesterday, he went out and said that he was going to check on this martial arts alliance leader, and his eyes were very wrong. Seeing that his face was gloomy, Liang Jian didn't ask much, but he hadn't seen anyone else until now. She ate it with some depression, but it tasted like chewing wax. Thinking about the events and clues along the way, a vague thought suddenly crossed my mind, fleeting.

Seeing that she was absent-minded, Zhou Wenjun knew that she was starting to worry about Lao Yan again, in order to distract her. settled the money and hurriedly dragged her to go shopping.

The two of them ate and drank to their heart's content, and walked around the street, where people came and went, bustling, and they were not afraid of Xu Qingfeng's move. Moreover, the two of them have been on their guard since they were in distress on the river, and now there are people around them who are secretly protecting. If these people and both of them can't stop them, then it's futile to hide anywhere.

was happily picking out hairpins at a stall, Zhou Wenjun whispered, "Tsk, this hairpin is not sharp enough, it is better for me to make a hairpin in the sword, and I will show you another day." ”

"I also think that if there are no weapons around, I am afraid that such a hairpin alone will not work. An inch is short and an inch is dangerous, but it is better than nothing. Liang Jian whispered, she waved it lightly twice, and she always felt a little inadequate.

"Okay, don't look at this, I'll go back and give you a hairpin sword, portable and beautiful, a killing weapon." Zhou Wenjun looked at the red bean hairpin in his hand as he spoke, she must like this color when she gave it to Song Bingzhu. She picked out another matching red bean bracelet for the stall owner to wrap together. After paying the money, she pulled Liang Jian and was about to go to the tailor shop in front of her, but a person rubbed shoulders and bumped into it, and hurriedly shouted, "Beichen Qu, the head of the Beichen family, was killed!! ”

Liang Jian and Zhou Wenjun turned their heads one after another, and watched in shock as the man kept running forward, shouting loudly as he ran. The surrounding, the people walking through the streets, the hawkers, and the passers-by who walked stopped one after another, stunned in place. After a few seconds of silence, there was a commotion in the crowd, I don't know who ran first, and the next second everyone ran in the same direction, except for the vendors who wanted to watch their stalls and those who didn't dare to mix, basically they couldn't wait to see the excitement.

"Who did you just say?" Liang Jian frowned, slowly spit out these words in disbelief, and turned his head to look at Zhou Wenjun, "Didn't you receive the news?" ”

"No, no, right?" Zhou Wenjun was a little suspicious of herself, the people under her were not vegetarians, how could such a big news not be detected, the two of them decided to return to the inn first after thinking about it. Now that I rushed to Beichen Mansion, it must be a mess, and I can't ask about anything, so I will go back to the inn first to see if there are any secret letters and text messages or something.

When I returned to the inn, there was a secret letter that had just arrived, it turned out that Xu Qingfeng was stealing medicine in Beichen Mansion, and for some reason it actually alarmed Beichen Qu. Xu Qingfeng was afraid that he would be recognized, so he specially masked his face, and Beichenqu naturally didn't expect that the martial arts alliance leader would come to the door to steal things, so he didn't recognize it either. After all, Xu Qingfeng is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, even if he is seriously injured and poisoned, he can beat Beichen Canal. Originally, Beichen Canal was just injured, but the people of Xuanwu Gate didn't know when they watched from the sidelines, and when they saw that Beichen Canal was injured, they took advantage of the weakness and hit Beichen Canal hard.

When Xue Shan found Beichen Canal, he was already angry, and in order to prevent chaos in Beichen Mansion, he first concealed this matter, and only said that Beichen Mansion was stolen. But the people of Xuanwumen didn't seem to be messy enough, so they spread the news of Beichenqu's death. Now Beichen Mansion is really a mess.

"I heard that some people in Beichen Mansion are already panicking." Zhou Wenjun couldn't help but feel anxious, although Xue Shan was usually in charge, Beichen Canal was like a centering needle in Beichen Mansion. He is strong in martial arts, because of him, Beichen Mansion can gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes.

"I'm a little worried about Beichen Min now." Liang Jian was also worried, and suddenly changed, just afraid that he would be distracted.

In fact, everyone is now conflicted in their hearts, hoping that Beichen Qu will die like this, and there are entanglements about whether to keep him alive. The original intention of these people to establish the Wu Dao Sect was to reverse the injustice in the world, and to create a place of light for women who could only be imprisoned in the mire. Therefore, they must first seize power, seize the commanding heights, and add weight to the scales that have always been gently lifted.

They overthrew the Xie family, planned to abolish the crown prince, supported King Rui, took over the Huangfu family, and paved the way for the road in their hearts step by step from martial arts to the imperial court. From the beginning, their purpose was not only for revenge, but also for that way.

Beichen Mansion is more accurate for Wu Dao Sect, and it is a little special for Yan Shi. Almost all the people involved in the encirclement and suppression of the Shentu family back then were almost cleaned up. Huangfu's whereabouts are unknown and don't matter, the Huangfu family was taken over by Huangfu Yinri, and now it is under control; Xie Fu has long since fallen, and Xie Haizhi died a miserable death; There is only Beichen Mansion, and Beichen Qu was also the main force of the encirclement and suppression back then, so he must die, but Beichen Min ......

The Beichen family is now in a mess, they can't interfere, they don't interfere, they don't interfere, and they are entangled for a while.

"Regardless of Beichen Canal," Liang Jian made up her mind, she looked at Zhou Wenjun and said, "But you have to manage Beichen Mansion and implement it according to the plan." "Originally, I wanted to seize power first, but now Beichen Mansion is in too much of a hurry.

"Don't you wait for Lao Yan to come back?" Zhou Wenjun was still hesitating, Beichen Mansion was really embarrassing, "Why don't you wait for him to come back and ask." ”

"He is busy investigating Xu Qingfeng now, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he doesn't know when he will come back, but Beichen Mansion is more urgent." She frowned and said word by word, as if to speak to herself, and then paused and said, "Now is the best time." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Wenjun finally made up her mind, she asked, "When?" So what do I do now? ”

"You sent someone to invite King Rui, he is now the deputy leader of the alliance, and it is most appropriate for him to preside over the overall situation." Liang Jian had already thought of a countermeasure on the way back, and after thinking about it carefully to make sure that there were no mistakes, she continued, "Before he comes, send someone to help clear out the people surrounding Beichen Mansion. "Beichen Mansion has always been used to being powerful, at this time there must be a lot of people secretly staring, if someone makes trouble at this time, it is the house leak that happened to rain overnight.

The plan was carried out like this, until Zhou Wenjun received news in the evening that the group of people in Beichen was making a fuss in Beichen Mansion. Xue Shan was exhausted and couldn't stop them, and she was now sick.

"Lao Min and Ah Yue will be fine over there, right?" Zhou Wenjun pondered for a long time, and said cautiously, Beichen Mansion was crumbling, and there was already a scene of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, "I have already sent someone to protect the safety of the three of them." ”

"Well, in the past two days, try to incite those clan elders and let them continue their efforts."

"Why don't we also incite the patriarchs of the Huangfu family?" Zhou Wenjun held his chin and asked, although the Huangfu family is now also the head of the Huangfu Yinri, but if the situation of the family's entrenchment and monopoly is to be completely dismantled, it is still necessary to uproot the various families. If the Huangfu family can be concocted in the same way, their plan will be much more efficient.

"No, we have to act according to the actual situation." Liang Jian pondered and saw that she didn't understand much, so he patiently explained.

There are many side branches under the four major families, and the resources of martial arts are monopolized by several families. It has to be eaten one step at a time so as not to be noticed, otherwise the moths accustomed to enjoying resources will make a fuss if they find their resources shaken.

Their current strength is not enough to compete with so many people.

"Is it that hard?" Zhou Wenjun was still puzzled, "Haven't we already pocketed several major families now?" "Huangfu Yinri is already in charge of the Huangfu family, and Song Bingzhu is now also the head of the Song family, as long as the head of the family orders, who dares to disobey?!

"It's not that simple." Liang Jian patiently explained, "No matter which family it is, it is very large and bloated. Even if the emperor is in charge, no, even if the emperor is the head of the family, he does not dare to easily shake the interests of the family. Not to mention that Huangfu Shi has not yet sat in a secure seat. ”

It is quite a bit of the meaning of the gate valve system in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the power monopoly in the hands of the big family is equivalent to the current big family sect, and the poor family is equivalent to the current Jianghu rangers. The gate valve system is difficult to overthrow, not only because of the productive forces and social background at that time, but also because the family is colluded with each other and linked interests, so they join forces to monopolize together.

The four major families have been almost torn apart, and now they have to be broken one by one. But the process of breaking down also requires patience and means.

The family heads are willing to give resources to the side branches and children below in order to make them and the family form a rope and move outward in unison. But when the desires of the people below are not satisfied, then they will fight back and tear the superior to pieces. Huangfu Yinri has just become the head of the family, and the Huangfu family is still in full swing, and they have no strength to resist now.

Seeing that she seemed to understand, Liang Jian continued to say step by step, "The Huangfu family is the most important bloodline, and without Huangfu Yinri, they will also find another side branch disciple to succeed, and they will not move the idea of dividing up, so we can't rashly alarm them." The Beichen family is different, that group of old guys will ignore it as long as it is profitable, so we can instigate them to divide up, and then wait for them to become stragglers and then break them one by one. ”

The Beichen family has only risen in the past ten years, and it has the glory of today. A group of profiteering villains are powerful, short-sighted, and cannot see long-term development. So when it's profitable, they will hold it in their hands regardless of what will happen in the future. Those clan elders are the best example, as soon as Beichenqu died, those old guys couldn't wait to divide up. If they really succeed, the final outcome will be that the Beichen family will be torn apart, and at that time, they can use their power in the rivers and lakes to defeat them one by one.

"I see." Zhou Wenjun's heart was clear, and he suddenly seemed to remember something.

"There is one more thing," Zhou Wenjun swallowed his saliva and said very nervously, "Beichen Min sent a message, saying that Xu Qingfeng stole at night, and he seemed to see Beichenlin's figure on the other side of the eaves. ”
