Nanxi Town, as a small town in Linquan Country, is ill-fated, and it happens to be sandwiched between the two camps of Bailongguan and Heishui Villa.

Although the geographical location is not very superior, and the strategic value is not very good, Bailongguan and Heishui Villa are both big factions, and they have always had a good face, and Nanxi Town's choice, no matter which side it is, is disrespectful to the other party, and it is all slapping the other party's face.

As for maintaining neutrality, no one cares, even if you give the Hungry Tiger Gang and the Wolf Tooth Gang ten guts, you can't do it categorically, after all, you have to ride the wall, you also have to have strength to be able to do it, and the weak will only pull your hips when you ride the wall.

Therefore, the major exchanges between the Hungry Tiger Gang and the Wolf Tooth Gang in recent years, in the final analysis, are also to strengthen themselves, so that they can find a better owner, so as not to be eaten and divided by the people of the two camps.

This is also the sorrow of the weak, trying to come and go, but it is just for a decent survival.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yuan got up early in the morning, or he couldn't sleep all night in contemplation.

Although the agreed time was at night, Zhang Yuanyi did not really set off at night, but took Shen Xuefeng and Hongguan to Nanxi Mountain in the morning.

The so-called first strike is strong, Zhang Yuanyi's actions are just to arrive at the scene early and investigate the surrounding situation.

As for the rest of the disciples in the gang, because there were too many people, Zhang Yuanyi arranged to come back later, so as not to startle the snake.

Zhang Yuanyi rode on the white horse, holding a verdant dog's tail grass in his mouth, and as the white horse walked through the rugged path, the dog's tail grass also swayed up and down, one after another.

In order to break this embarrassment, Zhang Yuanyi took the initiative to speak, and said with a smile: "I have a question, I have been puzzled for a long time, now say it, don't be angry, why do you two gangs get so soiled, a hungry tiger, a wolf tooth, this heritage, in the next is really ...... Don't dare to compliment. ”

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and for sect gangs, the name is extremely important, generally speaking, a sect has always liked to obtain its own sect gang name The more cultured the better, and the more exaggerated the achievement, the more magnificent.

But the Hungry Tiger Gang and the Wolf Tooth Gang not only do not have any conditions, but they give people a rustic feeling at a glance.

And Zhang Yuanyi communicated with Shen Xuefeng several times, and never felt that the other party was such a tasteless gang leader, if it weren't for being in the Hungry Tiger Gang, Shen Xuefeng would have looked like a talent when he went outside.

Although the leader of the Wolf Tooth Gang looked rude and savage, Zhang Yuanyi didn't want to be a big fool in terms of contact last night, not to mention, there was a master by his side, shouldn't it be easy to choose a good-sounding gang name?

Shen Xuefeng smiled and said nothing, but Hong Guan seemed a little sneering, and he said bluntly: "How can you people who are high on the top of the mountain know about us small fish and shrimp?"

So he hates Zhang Yuanyi, not because of his imposing oppression, but more because of the kind of arrogance that is not there, even if Zhang Yuanyi is a disciple of the academy, it is really difficult for him to accept.

Shen Xuefeng reprimanded: "Monkey!

Hong Guan turned his head and didn't speak.

Shen Xuefeng said: "Brother Zhang doesn't know, our Nanxi Town is a small place, and there has always been very little contact with the outside world, so the people in the area don't have much culture. The people couldn't understand it, so they had to look away. ”

Zhang Yuanyi nodded slowly, and suddenly realized: "I see, but I am lonely and unheard." I didn't expect a name to have so many connotations. ”

But immediately he asked: "You are so blatantly recruiting troops, don't the imperial court officials show a little bit?"

Shen Xuefeng dared to talk about the people not being able to understand and not wanting to join the gangs, so it can be seen that the arrogance of these gangs is excessive, and if the court of this country does not make a little statement and allows the development of local forces, it will be very strange.

From ancient times to the present, above the government and the opposition, it has always been the central government that has continued to seize power, the local government has continuously weakened power, and the imperial power has also continued to expand in the process, otherwise there would not be a saying that one person is under and ten thousand people are above.

The two gangs of Hungry Tiger and Wolf Tooth, after all, are nameless and worthless underworld gangs, similar to bandit strongholds, among all the countries that Zhang Yuanyi has passed, for such an existence, it has always been mainly suppressed by force, and even at the expense of a lot of financial resources to exterminate it.

But how did it become like this when it was put in Lin Quanguo?

Hong Guan said indignantly: "If they had that ability, there would be no grievances between the White Dragon Temple and the Black Water Villa." ”

As long as they are normal people, if their lives are not satisfactory, who would want to fall into the grass and be the bandits?

The corruption of the Linquan royal family disregarded the life and death of the people below, which forced them to be self-reliant and embarked on a road of no return.

Zhang Yuan understood for a moment, but he was very puzzled, and asked: "Isn't it always rumored that Lin Quanguo is well managed, and the country is safe and secure? ”

Before he came, he had read the Zongmen Mansion newspapers about the Linquan Kingdom and even the surrounding countries, which recorded that the Linquan royal family was sympathetic to the people, and the people were able to live in peace although they were not rich.

This is also what Zhang Yuanyi was most concerned about last night, no matter how much the Jianghu sect makes waves, it still seems to be insufficient compared to the behemoth of the country, Zhang Yuanyi does not believe that the martial arts alliance leader has made such a big move, and the above will not say anything at all.

One shot, he believes, will definitely be extremely unreasonable and extremely crushing.

Shen Xuefeng helped explain: "Lin Quanguo was also extremely powerful in the past, whether it was the court or the rivers and lakes, it can be said to be a thriving scene, but now the old royal family has suddenly died, the crown prince has taken the throne in a hurry, and the foundation is unstable. ”

Zhang Yuanyi frowned and muttered: "There is still such a thing, but I have seen you for a long time." ”

He was always uneasy in his heart, and he always had a bad premonition, and it was very strong.

First the leader of the martial arts alliance, then the emperor died, the imperial power was turbulent, all the bad things seemed to come together, all the coincidences collided at the same time, if it was said that there were not a few black hands behind each other, Zhang Yuanyi would feel that the previous generation of kings of Linquan Kingdom had been picking and searching for things, and he was unwilling to offer to the gods for decades, and now retribution is coming.

Zhang Yuanyi looked at the rugged and muddy path ahead, his eyebrows were deep, and he muttered: "It seems that this matter still needs to be investigated again!"

You can't be in a hurry to do things, and you must have a win of only eight points before you can make a move, which is Zhang Yuanyi's principle of doing things all along.

......

Lin Quanguo, the capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the prime minister with the most power in his hands since the founding of Linquan State, Feng Xun's current status can be said to be rising, and there is an endless stream of ministers and officials who come and go every day.

Feng Xun has been dormant for many years, and finally took advantage of the death of the old emperor and the instability of the new policy to grab his own power, and nearly half of the officials in the court are now with him, and they want to destroy the country, but it is just a matter of turning over their hands.

And his prime minister's mansion has also been continuously expanded in the process of his power expansion, and the specifications even once violated the etiquette system, and he has a great style of swallowing the world.

Once there is an official above the court who dares not to give Feng Xun face, and disobeys his wishes in person, he doesn't even need to do it himself, and there will naturally be countless doglegs to help deal with the "aftermath".

The people who have been dealt with have all ended miserably, either becoming a floating corpse in the moat outside the city, or hanging themselves from the beams of the house.

The entire court was shrouded in the dark shadow of him alone, and few people dared to confront him, and they were silent.

It is said that a companion is like a tiger, but when he came to him, he became a companion like a tiger.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, today's Feng Xun casually found a reason to shirk the early dynasty, not that there was really any major incident, or that there was any physical inconvenience, it was just his willfulness.

It is equivalent to clarifying the relationship with the emperor, and I will follow me whether you listen to your government or not, and I am extremely arrogant.

At this time, Feng Xun was holding a piece of bait in his hand, and he was constantly throwing bait at the fish candy in the yard, teasing and playing.

A middle-aged man wearing a four-grade official uniform quietly arrived.

Feng Xun finally threw the bait in his hand, waved his hand, and the maid holding the bait tray next to him slowly retreated.

He asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man who was wearing a four-grade official uniform, accompanied the new emperor all the year round, and was known as the "little prince", replied in a low voice: "The emperor is gone." ”

Feng Xun was slightly stunned, turned around suddenly, and scolded angrily: "Waste! The emperor ran away!? I put you next to him, what the hell are you going to do!?"

The middle-aged man took out a letter from his sleeve and quickly explained: "My lord is angry, my lord is angry!" Although the person was lost, he still left a letter, which said that he would come back on time tomorrow, I think the little emperor stayed in the palace all day and wanted to go out to breathe. ”

Feng Xun snatched the letter, and after a quick glance, he snorted coldly, "Count yourself lucky, otherwise you will be the one who disappeared with the little emperor!"

The middle-aged man lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

Feng Xun lightly lit the letter, and the paper letter turned into a cloud of fly ash in a blink of an eye, and when the wind blew, it scattered in all directions.

He glanced at the groveling man, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said in a merciless tone: "Get out, when the emperor returns, let me know in time." ”

The man looked up slightly and saluted, "Yes!"

After that, he turned around and left, and after a cigarette of smoke, he disappeared again.

"What did the letter say?" After the man left for a long time, a voice came from the rockery behind the pond, and a figure slowly appeared.

The man was wearing a gray cloak and an iron mask covering his face, which made it difficult to see his face, but the aura of his body was like a deep abyss, which was soul-stirring.

Seeing this person, Feng Xun, who has always been pampered in front of outsiders and looks high, actually showed a rare stammering look, he stepped forward quickly and reported: "The little emperor wants to go out for a walk, the letter is just written about the purpose of writing, and there is time to come back, it's not a big deal." ”

The masked man said, "It's better to do so, if you hide something, I'll give you a taste of what it's like to be in heaven and hell." ”

Feng Xun couldn't help but sweat, and said intermittently: "Self-...... Naturally, I don't dare!"

The masked man sighed and said, "However, the emperor dared to choose to flee in this way, thinking that he would be able to suppress the dog jumping over the wall for too long, which is tantamount to finding a relationship with you, and he knows everything you have done in the court." ”

Feng Xun sneered: "Even if I know, the entire court has already been taken into my hands, I just want to tell him that I coerce the Son of Heaven to order the purpose of the princes!"

The masked man said, "It's better to do so, I advise you to do it as soon as possible, lest you have too many dreams at night." ”

Feng Xun asked in surprise: "But the martial arts alliance master has not ...... yet."

The man interrupted him and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own means, you just need to manage your court, and you can have less ideas about the rivers and lakes." ”

Feng Xun nodded seriously and said, "Yes!"

The world only knows that he wants to lean the government and the opposition and be the supreme existence above the court, but that is obviously underestimating him Feng Xun, what he really cares about is the dragon chair, in the real sense, one person in the world!
