Chapter 39: The Scales
In the affairs hall of the main hall of the Xuanfu, Xiang Chun and Xu Ying were talking to a young scribe in his thirties, but the atmosphere in the hall was a little serious at the moment.
The young scribe said solemnly: "The two Xuanwei must also know that the Shenwei Army has lost a lot of things in this meeting, so now under the pretext of training, they simply withdrew all the manpower, which is to embarrass the Dutang Princes, but since the Shenwei Army has let it out, then the Xuanfu must try to maintain it, and they can't let them have an excuse to take it back." ”
Xu Ying said: "Guo Yajun, recently, my Xuanfu has sent out almost all the manpower that can be used, but the gap left by the Divine Captain Army is really not small, and we can't take care of it for a while." ”
Guo Yajun looked at him, then at Xiang Chun, and said in a deep voice: "The two Xuanshi are so to protect the interests of the people of Ruiguang Protectorate, which is undoubtedly extremely right, but they can't explain to Dutang." Forgive Guo for saying a lot, what Xuanfu needs to do now is not to take care of everything, but to grasp the key points and make a significant achievement, which is more useful than doing a hundred things. ”
When Xu Ying heard this, he sneered a few times and said, "How can we do things in the Xuanfu for merit? Now that the lives of the people of the Metropolitan Protectorate are being threatened, don't we go to defend them, but instead care about the opinions of some people in the capital?"
Guo Yajun said solemnly: "I know that this matter has embarrassed the Xuanfu, but the situation dictates, it is not sixty years ago, the Xuanfu must have something from the past that can be explained, so that the people of the capital can believe that the Xuanshi can do better than the Shenwei army, and can better maintain the stability of the capital protection mansion, if the capital no longer trusts you, then in the next meeting, who will they lean towards, I don't need to say, the two of you also know." ”
Xu Ying was unconvinced for a while, he still wanted to say something, but Xiang Chun stretched out his hand, held him down, and shook his head at him.
Guo Yajun looked up at the two of them, and he said sincerely: "Two Xuanfu, Guo also knows that my identity is not enough to point fingers at the Xuanfu, but although the Divine Captain Army was arrogant and domineering in the past, it also blocked many strange gods and monsters, and these feats cannot be faked, so the people of the Protectorate will tolerate them in all ways." ”
Xiang Chun said slowly at this time: "But they want too many things, and there are more and more places to stretch out their hands." ”
Guo Yajun glanced at him and nodded, obviously Xiang Chun understood what he meant, he knew that there was no need to say more, so he stood up and said, "Two, this is a rare opportunity, I hope that Xuanfu can grasp it, so that the people who have supported Xuanfu for a long time will have more confidence." He arched his hand and said, "I've disturbed the two of you today, and Guo will leave first." ”
Xiang Chun said: "Senior Brother Xu, send Guo Yajun on my behalf." ”
"No need. Please stay, both of you. ”
Guo Yajun thanked the two of them for sending each other off, and walked out of the lobby, his servant had been waiting under the stone jade steps, and when he saw his figure, he greeted him and said, "Yajun, is things going well?"
Guo Yajun looked at the magnificent palace in front of him and said, "Let's wait and see." ”
The servant never asked anything more, but said: "Yajun, I heard that Zhang Junzi is in the Xuanfu at the moment, do you want to meet him?"
Guo Yajun thought for a while and said, "No need, now that the Xuanfu has a lot of things, there is no need to trouble them, there will be opportunities in the future." ”
In the affairs hall, Xu Ying walked around angrily, he looked at Xiang Chun sitting there thinking, and said, "Senior brother, what are you thinking, is it possible that you want to do what Guo Shang said?"
Xiang Chun said: "Senior brother, don't be impatient, I think what Guo Yanjun said still has some truth, and in the current situation, this is a good choice." ”
Xu Ying looked at him incredulously and said, "Senior brother, if the Xuanfu is controlled by the Protectorate, is it still the Xuanmansion?" He said angrily: "If this is the case, is it that if the Protectorate gives any orders in the future, what will we follow?"
Xiang Chun shook his hand at him and said, "Don't worry, the matter is not as serious as you think, what is Dutang's idea, I know it clearly, it was just that we slightly misestimated the situation before, I didn't expect the Divine Captain Army to retreat so completely this time......"
After all, in the past sixty years, the authority of the Xuanfu has been being usurped by the Divine Captain Army, and before this meeting, they could only maintain the stability around Ruiguang City, and now that the Divine Captain Army is shrinking, they are needed to help everywhere above the ground, so they can't cope with it at once.
After a pause, he said again: "But this is not a bad thing, our Xuanfu family can't fill it, so let's take a step back, let other families come in together to fill in the hole, and wait until the new pattern is completed," he smiled, "It's not so easy for the Divine Captain Army to come back." ”
Xu Ying was extremely emotional, and said, "I will definitely not retreat ......" He suddenly paused and looked at Xiang Chun, "Senior brother, what do you mean ......?"
Xiang Chun glanced at him and said, "Are you willing to listen to me?"
Xu Ying took a breath, sat down and said, "Senior brother, you say, I'll listen." ”
Xiang Chun stroked his beard and said: "I've thought about it, in fact, some local matters can be handled by the Sikou Bureau, because some ordinary strange and alien cultists, they are enough to deal with, and the islands on the sea, the Security Patrol Association is also enough to deal with, just need to give some support when necessary." In this way, we can concentrate the originally scattered manpower, which can not only reduce casualties, but also facilitate control, and it is best that we can also destroy one or two indigenous gods who are in trouble, so that not only can we quickly stabilize people's hearts, but the threat that our Tianxia people need to face is also greatly reduced. ”
Xu Ying looked at him and said, "Senior brother, did you have this plan for a long time?"
Xiang Chun said: "I have discussed it with Senior Brother Fan and Senior Brother Wang before, but it has not yet been decided,"
Xu Ying said: "It's okay," his expression moved, "By the way, by the way, we can take this opportunity to push Bai Qingqing and Zhang Yu to the front by the way." ”
Xiang Chun said: "You can give them a chance, but they don't have much fighting ability now, if there is a relatively safe goal, find a reliable person to take them, let them adapt a little first, and then contribute to the Xuanfu." ”
Xu Ying stood up and said, "I'll arrange this matter, senior brother, you don't care." ”
Xiang Chun solemnly reminded: "You have to be careful, especially Zhang Yu, he may be able to help us find that thing, and there can be no damage yet." ”
Xu Ying said: "Senior brother, don't worry, before Senior Nephew Ji is successful, I care more about these two people than you." ”
Zhang Yu had already walked out of the side hall at this moment, and on the way back, he saw a team of Xuan Xiu in Taoist robes hurriedly leaving the Xuan Mansion, and he couldn't help but think of Fang Cai Fan Lan's words, the Xuan Mansion was very likely to let him go out to deal with various incidents and enemies at some point in the future.
Although Xuanfu said that if the disciples are reluctant, then they will not be forced to do things, but he also understands that if you refuse, then naturally you will not want to get the teachings of Xuanfu again.
In this way, this is inevitable. He thought of the Divine Captain Army outside, although it was unlikely that the Xuanfu would let him die, someone would definitely come forward to protect him, but it was better to rely on others to maintain it than to master his own strength.
He pondered: "It seems that in the next period of time, I will try to put some effort into the ability to fight, if I can find the seal of the heart, it will be the best." ”
He looked at a wooden box on the stage, which were the three seals that Fan Lan had given them again in the hall.
After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to open the wooden box, summoned the Great Dao Xuanzhang in his heart, and then pasted the jade slip above the center of his eyebrows, so that the idea was passed in.
This time, the three new seals are derived from the three seals of "eye, nose, and ear", which, together with the previous four seals, form a circle in addition to the six seals.
It's just a pity that these three seals also need to be read according to a certain chapter, and the current Shenyuan is not enough.
At this time, he couldn't help but think in his heart, what is the relationship between these seals and the light of his heart?
Xuanfu doesn't give an explanation, in fact, if you think about it, it's normal. The new law abandons the old method of comprehending and participating in the law, and all the truths are in every chapter of the Great Dao Chapter and the Great Dao Chapter.
Therefore, the Xuanfu doesn't need to tell you what the specific thing is, as long as you have the seal, then you will naturally understand.
It's just that in this way, when a cultivator wants to take the initiative to find a certain seal or truth, he will become at a loss.
He thought about it for a while, the new law is not the old law after all, and now that he has been in contact with the Great Dao Xuanzhang for a short time after all, many of the hidden secrets in it may not be known yet, and he can only see it with in-depth observation.
And right now, trying to find more Shenyuan is the direction he should work towards.
