The Way of Vertical and Horizontal (16)
Kang Yu said, "You don't have to let me know this, I can't help you much." Hu Dao shook his head and said confidently: "You don't have to help me with anything, you just need to know." Kang Yu smiled and shook his head, and said, "If I speak for you in front of the Holy Lord and mobilize the other three sects to come to help, one of you and I will have to leave." Hu Dao sighed and said, "It seems that you and I are not fellow travelers. Kang Yu looked calm and said: "You and I are not on the same path, with great disrespect, there is no heavy price, so that the war will continue forever." With that, Kang Yu looked at a few maids waiting on the side. Hu Dao signaled that it was okay and said: "The key is that the situation is uncontrollable, once the south gate collapses, whether it can be as expected, and the changes are beyond the reach of manpower." Kang Yu nodded and sighed: "I don't understand what you said, but you and I have different responsibilities, once the saint suspects that you and I are suspected of being a gentleman, even if it is a thought, it will be difficult for you and me to appear here again." Hu Dao sighed deeply and said, "The Zongheng faction has been uniting all sects a few years ago, and it is absolutely unfavorable to the imperial court, and I have also played a concert. But the two saints didn't care, they were just chaotic ministers and bandits, so there was nothing to worry about, and Li Jiqian was the best proof of this. Hearing the melancholy in Hu Dao's words, Kang Yu also sighed deeply.
The national policy of the imperial court was right, but it was too guarded against military generals, so that the literature was rampant. The major affairs of the state are in the hands of this group of civil officials who do not understand current affairs and pretend to be high-minded, and this is fatal. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how many Han people's lives have been buried. Although Kang Yu does not belong to the South Gate, it is not that he has not seen the bloodshed of martial arts. Here it is the opposition between life and life, and if you want to survive, you must stop the punishment with punishment, and no one can change this. Such a thought was once unthinkable for him, despising the saint and being a courtier educated by Confucian scriptures. What a sin it is to be so rebellious. However, deep down, this idea is the most real, killing may be cruel, and facing human nature is the time to test faith.
After a long time, Kang Yu said: "The Zongheng faction has been laying out for a long time. The darkness has already informed me. Over the years, the various sects have been pressing step by step, and Tokyo Ouchi has gradually seen their terrible. However, the opportunity has been lost, and we are exhausted and dare not have extravagant hopes. Hu Dao said: "Only when the family and country are stable can the nation become rich and strong." Now that the Great Song Dynasty has earned tens of millions of dollars, which dynasty can have it in the past and present? Some things are obviously impossible, but someone has to do them, and bandits are rampant, and it is the time for us to serve the country with loyalty. Kang Yu said: "Actually, I still envy you." At least you can do what you want to do. Hu Dao nodded and said, "If that's the case, you and I don't have to meet again." Kang Yu nodded and bowed.
Staring at the rice paper on the ground, and then at the two sect masters, Hu Dao asked, "What do you think?" Guo Xiao said: "The official army is the main army of the imperial court and can't help us, what can really help us is the darkness." Hu Dao sighed: "I don't know, but every move of the darkness is hand-picked by the saint." He wouldn't give me that much power. Guo Xiao said: "Even if the power is delegated, the two parties are not subordinate to each other. It is always difficult to cohesion and useless. Hu Dao said: "Now that the bandits have gathered, people are here to work hard, if we don't make the determination to break the kettle, the south gate is in danger." Lin Bin on the side said: "What we should guard against now is where the bandits start, which is the main thing today." Lin Bin has always spoken very Sven. It feels very peaceful, but behind his introverted personality is the best proof that he can be the master of a sect in the South Gate, but his life experience is now his most embarrassing scene. Hu Dao nodded and said: "It turned out to be desperate, Zhang Shaoying has already said in front of the sects that he will attack our industry first." Let the South Gate collapse. "Both of them are shocked, and this is a lose-lose endgame. However, once the South Gate collapses, although there is money to rise again, it is far less fast than the recovery of the sects. In the martial arts, many things cannot be solved by money, and the foundation of the Zhuzong for hundreds of years is deep-rooted, and the military system is complete, which is far beyond the reach of the imperial court.
Guo Xiao smiled: "This kid is fledgling, but he is just a puppet. Lin Bin smiled slightly and said, "How much did Ji Lingshuang spend to save him? Although his fame is enough to lead the party, she doesn't have to make such a lot of effort. Hu Dao also said: "He himself is a seemingly impossible legend, if you underestimate such a person, I am afraid that you will have a hard time in the future." Guo Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "But with some emotion, the two colleagues are bothered." The three of them all smiled, and Hu Dao asked Lin Bin, "What is your strategy?" Lin Bin said: "The key to this is that the bandits want to fight quickly, and if we want to win, we also need to do it quickly. But in this way, the goalkeeper has no chance of winning, but if he sticks to his roots and kills each other, it is just a waste of time. "So what we need to do now is not to shrink the industry, but to seek strong assistance." Guo Xiao said: "Except for the state capital, it is darkness, and they will not help us." Lin Kui said: "We should also learn from the Easy City." Hu Dao said: "This move is too dangerous and inappropriate." It is easy to fall down at the south gate, but it is difficult to stand up. Lin Bin said: "I don't know that pain will never wake up." Hu Dao said: "What we are afraid of is that we will not wake up after the pain, and our sacrifice is not worth it." If we don't care about the grace of God, if we do, the country will be in danger. β
Lin Bin said: "If you want to work hard, you can't have constraints, break the kettle and sink the boat, and gather momentum to succeed." Hu Dao snorted and said, "There is no help, there is no way to resist, but there is a better way than this." Guo Xiao said: "If you have a plan, please say, don't sell it." Hu Dao said: "From now on, the music to Ouchi will be changed to one delivery in seven days, and next month it will be changed to two days, and then it will not be used in the γγγγγnext month." Lin Bin and Guo Xiao were both shocked, Lin Bin said: "Although this plan is wonderful, but is it the loyalty of the minister?" Hu Dao said: "Loyalty lies in belief rather than situation, haven't you understood this yet?" Guo Xiao Zhengse said: "It's just such a little change, and in the end you will go crazy like them." Hu Dao shook his head and said, "Then let's wait and see." Guo Lin and the two glanced at each other, shocked, regretful and helpless. Although the four sect masters are called the masters of the sects, each sect performs its own duties and directly reports to the emperor, even if several sects are to work together, they must be agreed by the four people and the prison gate. At this time, if they do not report it, the gentleman will form a party, which is contrary to the sages, the governor will not report it, and if he violates his loyalty, he will be suspected of colluding with the same stream and becoming a party, and even if the saint will not blame him, they will hate it for the rest of their lives. The sound of footsteps outside the house made several people look nervous, and it was a middle-aged man in purple wearing a four-legged and four-belt head and a curved collar and big sleeves. He seems to be in his forties, with good facial features, extraordinary spirit, very handsome, and arrogant and noble that others cannot match. That innate aristocratic atmosphere, under the domineering gaze, Hu Dao and the others are affectionate and solemn, although they are not afraid, they have scruples. It was He Jin, the prison gate of the South Gate, who came, this name may not be famous in Wulin, in the rivers and lakes, or even in the entire Great Song Dynasty, but in Tokyo Ouchi, no one dares to offend such a character.
It is precisely because of the rampant scruples of martial arts that Emperor Taizong selected a large number of orphans for training when he was alive, called the imperial inner class, and was not in the palace guards. The Imperial Inner Class has been mysterious since its creation, and no one knows how many people there are, but they can enter and leave the emperor's bedroom at any time, and enter and exit the palace at will, which is an honor that even the crown prince cannot match. Although they wore hats, the calm and solemn aura made people feel that he was terrifying from afar, and he was one of the six Ouchi guards who could wear weapons at will in front of the emperor. Such a person has his arrogant capital and his noble self-cultivation, although he does not have a high position, but he is never rude to others. As soon as he came in, several people bowed and saluted, and He Jin returned the salute and said, "What you can do is to make this seemingly dangerous bone of the South Gate become a difficult one, I have my own clever plan, please ask you." "Say goodbye, thank you. Hu Dao and several people were shocked, and they didn't want him to make such a big gift, so they all knelt on the ground for a while to thank him. He Jin sighed and said: "My position as a prison gate can still sit on an equal footing with you, and I am afraid that this up and down ceremony will not be suitable for use in the future, so please take it." With that, he stretched out his hand and motioned for the three of them to get up.
The three of them got up tremblingly, and He Jin said warmly: "We have all received the emperor's favor and dedicated ourselves to the great plan of national stability, and the court will never forget your talents." After that, a thank you salute, a few people returned the salute, and He Jin turned around and left.
On that day, Zhang Shaoying got up early, and with Ji Lingshuang, Qingshu and the others practiced outside the tent. Zhang Shaoying's practice is Xuantian Gong, which is from the same source as the internal strength of the Zongheng School, and there is no difference in nature. The first volume of the Yin and Yang Treasure Book is to be reborn and stabilize the foundation. The next volume is to use the way of yin and yang, to nourish the body with medicine, and to achieve the purpose of prolonging life. Yin and Yang of all things, the Yin and Yang Treasure Book focuses on the way of internal breath and swallowing, absorbing not only medicine, but also the aura of heaven and earth. The air in the morning has always been the freshest, and Ji Lingshuang has never stopped practicing every day. To train into the internal breath of the vertical and horizontal faction, Zhang Shaoying already has the foundation, and now it is to consolidate the internal breath and tend to stabilize. And Chen Yi and they were already practicing the third layer at this time, which is called accumulating energy, gathering the internal force in the internal breath, and reaching the point of doing whatever they want, which is considered a great success.
In order to protect the safety of Chen Yi and Yu Fang, Ji Lingshuang sent a team of vertical and horizontal octagonal guards, plus five guards of Zhang Shaoying, and then there were waiters and maids, nearly eighty people, all of whom were guarding around Ji Lingshuang to practice, or on the water, or on the tree, or standing. The practice of the Zongheng school is not limited to meditation, so that the body can stretch enough is more suitable for practice. (To be continued......)
