The first time he came to Tiandu, Rao is Lu Xuan asked himself if he had seen a big scene, and he was also shocked by the nearly 100-meter city wall in front of him!

In the sky, the green aura of the moat that blocked the entire sky could be regarded as a real eye-opener for Lu Xuan.

Occasionally, monks will be seen flying to the city gates and walking into the city.

"The monks here are quite decent!" Lu Xuan said with some emotion.

"This day is no better than other places, the law of the Great Dry is the rule here, without the permission of the imperial court, let alone casting spells here, even if a high-grade monk wants to fly in the air, it is difficult to do it." Xu Yifan sighed with emotion: "It is also for this reason that although the Tiandu is prosperous, most cultivators do not want to come here. ”

"Really?" Lu Xuan felt it for a while, but he didn't feel much.

"Wufu cultivates his own body, and the feeling is naturally not obvious, so you can try it out." Xu Yifan couldn't help but smile when he saw him like this.

Lu Xuan tried it, and sure enough, his divine thoughts were extremely restricted, and he couldn't detect it if he was less than a meter out of his body, so it was better to use his eyes.

"Except for the meritorious officials who have been granted permission by the imperial court and the Qintian Supervisor, here, no matter how high-level you are, it is difficult for you to cast spells, just like ordinary people." Xu Yifan smiled: "If it is not necessary, I really don't want to come here." ”

Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, after all, he was the overlord of the high party outside, and after coming here, he became a soft-footed shrimp, and any martial artist could bully him, who would want to come.

"I don't know much about the situation in the court, I came to Tiandu rashly, and I don't have a clue, looking for someone indiscriminately may backfire, can the junior brother have a candidate in his heart?" After the two paid the entrance tax, looking at the bustling streets and alleys in front of them, Xu Yifan looked at Lu Xuandao.

"Now the DPRK and China should be three parties side by side, one party of the family, one party of Qingliu plus the eunuch party, and the three parties check and balance each other." Lu Xuan found a quiet teahouse and sat down with Xu Yifan to drink tea.

Liu Yiyi, a woman, knows a lot of things, an oiran, being able to be the county lady's wife is very nonsense, she is not only a woman, but also knows so much about the situation in the DPRK and China, Lu Xuan is really a little curious about this woman's previous identity now.

There are a lot of things that no one Oiran can reach.

"Surely the family will not choose?" Xu Yifan added tea to Lu Xuan and said with a smile.

"The most powerful thing about the family is not the court, but the control of the local real power, looking for them to cooperate, not to mention those Liangzi in the past, just say that in the future, if these families are not moved, we will have no place to suck blood." Lu Xuan nodded, picked up the teacup and said: "And the high-ranking family is barely connected, and it is just a dispensable dog, and this business can't be done." ”

His direction is very clear, if you want to win the hearts of the people, you have to give the people benefits, so that the people are willing to protect themselves, but to develop, you have to have money and food, if you don't take it from the people, you can only grieve the family to donate blood, is it possible to cut your own flesh?

"Qingliu has a reputation, but he has no real power, so he can't help much." Xu Yifan picked up the teacup and looked at Lu Xuan and said, "So I can only choose eunuchs." ”

"Senior brother doesn't exclude?" Lu Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Yifan.

"It's just a political game, they all say that the eunuchs are chaotic, but they don't know that the eunuchs are just the emperor's mouthpiece, if there is no emperor's support, the eunuchs' seemingly powerful power will disappear in an instant, in comparison, the family's exploitation of the people is the most direct." Xu Yifan said with a smile.

"Transparent." Lu Xuan said with emotion: "Senior brother really doesn't plan to participate in politics? ”

Xu Yifan has a free and easy temperament and does not like to be restrained, after his side is stable, Xu Yifan will continue to travel the rivers and lakes, Lu Xuan is really reluctant to this senior brother now.

Xu Yifan smiled and didn't answer, and said: "But you are going to join forces with the emperor, the biggest thief is joining forces with the emperor, if you say that if this matter is spread in the end, how will it be recorded in the history books?" ”

"That depends on who wins in the end, if the great cadres continue, it is probably the emperor who is wise and powerful, skillfully using the power of the thief to drive out the tumor of the court, if the family wins, it is the emperor who is mediocre, in order to seek the people's fat and people's ointment, secretly make the thief cruel and loyal and good, if I win......"

Lu Xuan shook his head and smiled: "It's probably how I was wise and martial, and skillfully used the situation to overthrow the corrupt rule of the Great Qian. ”

"But there is a problem at the moment, this eunuch is not easy to see." Xu Yifan looked at the busy streets outside the window, here, what he saw was that the world was peaceful and the country was prosperous.

"Now that the Unified Church in Dongzhou has died out, there are a large number of vacant officials in Dongzhou waiting to be filled, and I think there are probably a lot of people who are squeezing their heads to fill these real vacancies." Xu Yifan looked at Lu Xuan: "With the temperament of the junior brother, I shouldn't want to die." ”

Although it has brought the wealth of the Unification Church, here in Tiandu, sometimes you can't spend the money.

"A wise man once said that if you want to know anyone in this world, you need to meet through six people at most." Lu Xuan turned the teacup and said: "But before that, we have to think about which one we want to see, as far as I know, there are only eight people among the eunuchs who really control the real power and can speak by the side of the Son of Heaven, but I don't know what the temperament and preferences of these eight people are, so we have to find an entry point." ”

"There have been records within the Guiyi Sect at the beginning, and the master has also walked the path of a eunuch before he started an incident." Xu Yifan nodded.

"Oh?" Lu Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I knew that there would be a surprise when I came with my senior brother." ”

"The head of the eight eunuchs is Cao Jingzhong, this person's cultivation is the highest among the eight eunuchs, and he is also the confidant of the Son of Heaven, this junior brother should know."

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "He won't think about it, the name Lu Boyan should let him disappear forever." ”

In the first battle of Meteor Valley, Lu Xuan cooperated with Cao Jingzhong and used the other party as a gun.

"The second should be Liu Chunhua, this person is quite greedy for money, and he has a lot of power in his hands, and it was this person who took the path of the master at the beginning." Xu Yifan looked at Lu Xuan and said: "But now he is afraid that when he is not short of money, I don't know how many people want to rush to send him money, as the so-called scarcity is expensive, I am afraid it is difficult to impress him with money now." ”

"Yes, when there are too many choices, it is difficult for him to be tempted by wealth alone." Lu Xuan nodded: "These eight eunuchs should also have factions, right?" ”

"Absolutely, but that's not clear." Xu Yifan shook his head, all three of them can sing stage operas, and these eight people stand at the center of power, if they want to say that there is no competition between them, they don't believe it.

"But there is one person who is Cao Jingzhong's sworn friend."

"Who?" Lu Xuan looked at Xu Yifan.

"The chamberlain looks." Xu Yifan recalled: "This Cao Jingzhong and Zhang Wang are relatively unique among the eight eunuchs, and the other six people, either greedy for money or good for power, always have some worldly desires, but these two are different from the other six. ”

"How is it different?"

"Cao Jingzhong is the most powerful and trusted by the Son of Heaven, but he has two good things in his life, one is good at studying martial arts, among the eight people, he is not only the highest in cultivation, but also the strongest." Xu Yifan recalled.

"And the second?" Lu Xuan asked.

"It's good to accept the righteous son, this Zhang Wang is one of Cao Jingzhong's righteous sons." Xu Yifan's face was a little strange.

"Collect the righteous son?" Lu Xuan frowned and said, "Don't the other eunuchs have any?" ”

"Yes, there are, but at most there are only a dozen, and Cao Jingzhong's righteous son, there are hundreds of people, and each of them will be carefully cultivated, if he can achieve something, he will not hesitate to promote, Zhang Wang is the only one among the many righteous sons who broke through to the fifth grade, and was promoted by Cao Jingzhong to the position where he is now tied with it, not only the inner servant, but also responsible for the palace guards, which can be said to be extremely powerful." Xu Yifan said with emotion.

"Then Zhang Wang is grateful to Cao Jingzhong? Even if he is in a high position now, he is loyal to Cao Jingzhong? Lu Xuan looked at Xu Yifan and said a little incredulously.

"Senior brother still looks down on eunuchs." Xu Yifan looked at Lu Xuan and smiled.

"Habit, habit." Lu Xuan was a little embarrassed and said: "It's not just because they are eunuchs, but more importantly, in this core area of power, father and son can turn against each other, two fathers and sons who are not related by blood can have such sincere feelings, it is a little unbelievable, I prefer to believe that Zhang Wang has some unsightly handle in the hands of Cao Jingzhong." ”

Human nature is evil This is Lu Xuan's cognition of human nature, he believes that there are people who can ignore life and death for the sake of righteousness, but he does not believe that there are people who do not care about interests for the sake of righteousness.

It is said that love is difficult, that is before passing the test, but anyone who has passed the love pass once is difficult to be trapped by love again, not nothing, but very few.

And the level of interests, that is the level of difficult passes, no matter how many interests are passed, it is still easy to be deceived by interests.

"You don't believe in the beauty of human nature at all." Xu Yifan said speechlessly.

"I believe it, but it doesn't conflict with what I said, people are not immutable, a good idea to last for a day, a month, a year is possible, but to say that it lasts for ten years, it is too difficult, there must be something in it that keeps adding in, maintaining feelings, or the two are irrelevant to each other, gentlemen's friends, no interest entanglement, occasionally think of getting together, or it is the entanglement of interests, you have me, I have you, and both parties have the intention to continue to pay to maintain, but where one party stops paying, after a long time, the other party will fade, This pay is not necessarily a benefit, it can also be an emotion, but it has to be paid. ”

Xu Yifan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Maybe, but the entanglement between them has nothing to do with us." ”

Lu Xuan nodded: "Let's talk about Zhang Wang, how is he different from others." ”

"Lustful."

"?" Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and a large number of scripts similar to fake eunuchs breaking into the harem instantly appeared in his mind.

"He's a real eunuch!" As if reading the man's gaze, Xu Yifan emphasized: "Every once in a while, I will go to visit the Qinglou. ”

"Isn't that chicken-free?" Lu Xuan was a little incredulous, and then his eyes moved: "You can start from this aspect." ”

"Didn't you say you couldn't see Cao Jingzhong?"

"But you can see it." Lu Xuan looked at Xu Yifan and said with a smile: "Senior brother, it seems that we haven't been to the Qinglou together for a long time." ”

Xu Yifan looked at his junior brother: "Do this kind of thing with the money of the Guiyi Sect...... Not good. ”

"It's also for business."
