"Okay, right?" The voice passed into the secret, and immediately Yao's voice sounded in Nameless's heart.

Nameless quietly observed the left and right, exhaled lightly, and nodded slightly: "It's okay, keep the status quo." ”

This voice sounded in everyone's hearts, and the eight of them all relaxed, maintained a pinching posture, and talked in their hearts with the help of secret techniques.

"Dean, do you think he can find it?" asked a man with a futai figure among the nine, if Guan Rong was here, he would definitely recognize this person as the fat gentleman who had worked with him for many years in the Wushuang Pavilion, unknown, only known as Diao.

"Perhaps. "Nameless.

"Then do we want to..."The thin middle-aged man who had also appeared in Man Tingfang hesitated and gave the others a look.

Immediately, his dazzling eyes suddenly lit up: "I think it's okay, I like this kid a lot!"

"I think you're comfortable enough, and you want to be punished again. Nameless glared at Ma Yao fiercely, and looked around at everyone, "If he is really the chosen one, he can find it without our help, and he doesn't even need to look for it, it will find him by itself." ”

"What if he's not?" immediately Yao asked, "There is not much power left in the Three Immortal Pagoda, if he is not, opening the tower this time is equivalent to opening it in vain, and the residual immortal power can still seal that thing for ten years at most, what will happen after ten years?"

"That's not something we're going to think about. Nameless said in a deep voice, "This time the opening of the pagoda is the order of this sect, and this sect believes that he is a celestial, if he is not, this sect must also have a way to deal with the aftermath." I know what you're worried about, you don't have to worry about it at all, don't say that there are still ten years, even if the Three Immortals Pagoda doesn't last ten years and collapses early, it doesn't hurt that thing to get out of trouble. Back then, Taishi gathered the strength of the whole country and failed to succeed, if anyone dares to covet something that should not be owned, I am not afraid to let Taishi's original bloody case repeat again!"

The eight of them nodded together, convinced by what Nameless said.

A long time ago, Taishi launched a civil war against the Qiankun Pavilion, and the outside world thought that Taishi was to subdue the Qiankun Pavilion and consolidate the imperial unity, and few people knew that the cause of the matter was not so, the root cause was actually a treasure similar to the Three Immortals Pagoda, and the Taishi picture was the thing sealed inside.

"We really don't interfere? not at all?"

Nameless snorted heavily, and the scolding shook Ma Yao's mind like a thunderous sound: "Ma Yao, have you forgotten the ancestral teachings of your sect?"

Immediately, Yao's heart was shocked, and he said in fear: "Don't dare or forget, Yao knows that he is wrong!"

Nameless said coldly: "I hope you really know your mistakes and can keep them firmly in your heart! Otherwise, if you don't use this sect, the old man will destroy you with his own hands!"

Immediately, Yao was stupid, and the other seven relatives did not dare to say anything.

Nameless calmed down for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Heaven and heaven, heaven and earth, the chosen one, ordinary people can't interfere, and so do we! Remember our mission, cherish the opportunity given by the pavilion master, we only obey the mandate of heaven, do what we should do, and have nothing to do with us! This point should be known the moment you accept the invitation, after the ceremony of entering the cabinet, the rights and wrongs of the world have nothing to do with us, even if your flesh and blood relatives die in front of you, after entering the cabinet, they and you are strangers! I hope you will remember this and keep in mind that otherwise, Hugh blames the sect for being ruthless!"

"Yes, we will remember, dare not or forget!"

The eight of them responded in unison, their expressions awe-inspiring.

The control of Qiankun Pavilion is loose and tight, as long as you follow the rules of the sect, you can get away with the world, if you break the rules, you will be sanctioned by the sect in an instant, and there is no chance to escape.

When the nine people were discussing with secret arts, and the eyes of the whole city were focused on the small tower and the phantom in mid-air, at the gate of the southeast side of the city, two men drove lightly and slowly drove out of the city with the procession out of the city.

The two are dressed very differently, with very different temperaments, one hangs a short knife and boots around his waist, hides a dagger, and holds a long stick that is head-high, and he looks like a warrior, and the other is dressed in a scholar's robe and steps on the clouds, and he is a scholar at a glance.

The scholar seemed to be afraid that people would not know that he was a scholar, and he was still holding an open scroll in his hand, and he never let go of the card when he went out of the city, and he never let go of the car and got off the car.

This scholar with "a small amount of money" is Zou Xun, and the martial artist next to him is Ma Liu.

Ma Liu saw that Zou Xun plunged into the scroll and couldn't pull it out, which was equal to admiration and amusement, and it happened that the carriage was bumpy, so he couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Zou, don't look at it yet, be careful of bad eyes." ”

Zou Xun raised his head, rubbed his sour eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, there are a lot of things to learn, and you must figure it out before you arrive, otherwise it's easy to make mistakes." ”

Ma Liu smiled: "That's not in a hurry, wait until you get on the boat and look at it, the boat will be much more stable." ”

"It's fine. Zou Xun insisted, paused, looked at Ma Liu's slightly pale face, and said with concern, "It's you, Lord Ma, your new injury has not healed, and the prince of the world has advised you to rest for two more days, why rush to set off with me?"

Ma Liu waved his hand: "Don't be an adult, Mr. can call me Ma Liu." ”

Zou Xun smiled: "Then don't call me sir, I can't bear it." Why don't you do this, I'll call you Brother Ma, and you call me Brother Zou, what do you think?"

Ma Liu laughed: "No problem, you and I are equals, and no one takes advantage of anyone." ”

Zou Xun nodded with a smile, and said, "Why don't you stay for a few more days and wait for the injury to heal before leaving?" You know, the prince is very worried. ”

"I'm not at ease!" Ma Liu said with a smile, "Seal... cough, the prince told me, you are very important, there is no room for mistakes, he is not at ease when the road is far away and handed over to others, I naturally have to share his worries and come over to guard it personally. ”

That's right, but the real reason is not so simple.

It is true that Zou Xun is very important, Feng Zhiping specially selected the six most capable escorts from the guards brought by Quanzhou, if he couldn't pull it out, he wanted Niu Chunhan to come over in person. Let's play

But even so, he would not indifferently let Ma Liu, who had not yet recovered from his injury, take the initiative to ask for help after Ma Liu found out.

Among the brothers, except for the weak Lao Dong, only he failed to be shortlisted in the audition, and it was inevitable that he would be depressed.

Today's big competition opened, Feng Zhiping and Zhao Kang were all present, it stands to reason that he should also go over to cheer, but he didn't have the face to go over, even if he really wanted to see it.

If it weren't for Zou Xun's matter, he might have persuaded himself, but as soon as he learned that Feng Zhiping was worried about Zou Xun's safety, he didn't even think about asking for help immediately.

This is tantamount to evasion, he knows, others know, including Zou Xun, but no one says anything.

Feng Zhiping was already worried about his emotions, and he was also worried that Zhao Kang's stinky mouth would pop out some irritating nonsense, so after learning Ma Liu's thoughts, he persuaded a little, and nodded in agreement when he saw that there was nothing to do, so there was the current scene.

Zou Xu saw through Ma Liu's expression, put down the scroll, and arched his hand: "With Brother Ma's protection, Zou is very lucky! Brother Ma doesn't know, Zou was still a little apprehensive, but the moment he saw you, his heart was settled, and I believe that this road will be smooth sailing!"

"I hope so. Ma Liu smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Zou is comforting me?"

"Definitely. ”

Zou Xun waved his hand, and was interrupted by Ma Liu's laughter after only saying two words.

"Brother Zou doesn't need to explain, Ma knows what to do. Sir, rest assured, the strength of our martial arts practitioners is the first priority, and I am indeed a little annoyed by the defeat this time, but that's all, I am not so vulnerable. ”

Zou Xun bowed his head: "It's Zou who is too worried, don't blame Brother Tai." ”

Ma Liu smiled and looked at the scroll in Zou Xun's hand: "I've always been curious, what were you looking at just now, are you preparing for the next imperial examination?"

"No, brother, please see. Zou Xun handed over the scroll.

Ma Liu took it and flipped through the two pages, and looked up in amazement: "Account book?"

"That's right. Zou Xun nodded, "This is the account book of a pawnshop last year under the name of the prince, this is one of them, I have not been exposed to these before, and I have only recently started to contact them. ”

Ma Liu handed the account book back: "The prince is asking you to preside over the overall situation, and there are people to take care of these trivial matters, so you don't need to do everything yourself." ”

Zou Xun said: "What you said is right, but not doing everything in person does not mean ignoring it, there are some things I can let go, but I have to know what they did, how they did it, and why they did it, so as to avoid being harmed by villains." You know, the prince of Tongxian attaches great importance to him, I heard Lord Niu say that the prince of the world has almost all his net worth in Tongxian, I don't know why the prince chose me to take on this important responsibility, to be honest, I am very weak-hearted, very worried, even afraid, not afraid of your jokes, these days I have insomnia almost every day, often wake up from dreams. However, since the prince chose me and gave me enough trust, I can't live up to his expectations, as the so-called entrusted loyalty, I will do my best to live up to the trust of Tongxian County's business!"

Ma Liu smiled and sighed: "If he hears your words, he will definitely be happy soon." ”

Zou Xun smiled and thanked him.

Looking at the scholar's robe on Zou Xun's body, Ma Liu became curious: "Brother Zou, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not?"

Zou Xun bowed his head: "Brother Ma, please speak." ”

Ma Liu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That's the case, I heard that the scholars are very high-minded, no matter what they think in their hearts, they say that they hate copper smells." Brother Zou, you are a scholar, I heard that you fell off the list for some reasons, and now you have abandoned literature and started business, so that your classmates know, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by them?"

Zou Xun was silent, no sadness or joy, and after a while, he raised his head with a firm expression: "I was really troubled once, and then the prince said something to me, I thought about it and felt that it made sense." ”

"Oh, what's the matter? It won't mean that you've earned enough money to smash an official position, right?" Ma Liu teased, becoming more and more curious.

Zou Xun didn't joke, and said: "I won't do it, I have thought about it seriously, that road is not suitable for me." He said that nine times out of ten people in the world dislike the poor and love the rich, and wealth and power are mostly equal, as the so-called rich can make the devil grind, this is the truth. The more money, the harder the waist pole becomes, and as long as there is enough money, there is almost nothing in the world that cannot be done!"

"That's true. Ma Liu nodded, "Then what do you want to do?"

Zou Xun's expression was serious: "I want to be a righteous businessman like Jia Banshan, a generation of giants five hundred years ago! Mr. Jia also abandoned his writing and business after failing to make the list, and accumulated huge wealth through painstaking management, and his industries spread all over Tianyuan Prefecture, and his huge wealth was called 'Banshan'. He rescued poor peasants, subsidized poor students, the national war was imminent, the treasury was empty, he donated most of his wealth to fill the treasury, and each piece did not ask for anything in return, so he was honored as 'righteous businessman Jia', and even the heavenly family came to the scene to mourn after his death. I don't expect to achieve what he did, but I will follow his example and do my best to achieve my ideals!"

"Helping the world?" asked Ma Liu.

"Hmm. Zou Xun nodded, and then he was stunned, "I said a big thing, I hope Brother Ma won't make fun of it." ”

Ma Liu waved his hand and said seriously: "It's a big talk now, not necessarily in the future, as long as you don't change your original intention, you can achieve it one day, it's too late for me to admire, how can you make fun of it?"

Zou Xun arched his hand: "Thank you, Brother Ma, for borrowing your auspicious words." ”

Ma Liu smiled and asked again: "But have you thought about it, what will you do if the prince does not agree?"

He understands Feng Zhiping, and the possibility of letting Feng Zhiping donate half of his net worth to the treasury is not as good as the possibility of donating it to Qinglou, which has never been a master for the country and the people.

Zou Xun was silent for a moment: "I think that there is really a day, and the prince will not disagree." ”

Raising his head to look at Ma Liu, Zou Xun's expression was serious, and he sighed slightly: "Otherwise, the prince will not choose me." In my opinion, Shizi, like his father Chijian Hou, is cynical on the outside, but he has chivalrous characters engraved in his bones. The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, and I firmly believe that the son of the world will not let me down!"
