Chapter Thirty-Six: Momentum!
Zhang Yuan was helpless, took out the letter from Chaohu Academy from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Xuefeng, who quickly flipped through it and suddenly realized.
Zhang Yuanyi explained: "As you can see, the academy sent me here because your recent movements in Lin Quanguo are too big, and the higher authorities want me to try to ease the situation. Of course, I'm also a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, and I still can't see the situation here clearly, so I can only say that I can do my best. ”
Shen Xuefeng accepted the envelope and handed it to Zhang Yuanyi, and said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect that the scandal of our Lin Quanguo would actually alarm the academy and trouble Mr. ”
He continued: "We were just afraid that Lin Quanguo would be coveted by outsiders, so I would rather give up the foundation of so many years and give it to the people of the two camps than to outsiders. ”
Zhang Yuanyi couldn't help laughing, he gave a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "Yes, you can do things ruthlessly!
To be able to give up the foundation that he has worked hard for decades just to protect the greater collective interests, although many people dare to say such things, but if they really want to cut a knife on themselves, it is not something that anyone can do.
This world is like this, there is never a shortage of hypocrites who love to talk big and are sanctimonious, and most of them can't avoid them if they really want to do practical things.
Shen Xuefeng said with a smile: "Sir, don't bury me, it's just a mediocre person." ”
Zhang Yuanyi said solemnly: "There are too many people in this world who pretend to be smart, and there are too few real great wisdom, if you are stupid, Mr. is not a mediocre person." ”
Shen Xuefeng smiled and shook his head, it was really about the kung fu of sycophants, and he couldn't compare to this disciple from the academy.
Zhang Yuanyi frowned suddenly, remembered one thing, and hurriedly asked, "The Shen Gang Master can do this, but what about the Wolf Tooth Gang?"
Shen Xuefeng pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Perhaps, Mr. is not unreasonable, and although the Wolf Tooth Gang is extremely stubborn and does things much more ruthlessly than our Hungry Tiger Gang, but in some major matters of right and wrong, most of the people in Lin Quanguo have the same attitude. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and continued to ask: "Then you can guess with the worst idea, which side do you think the Wolf Tooth Gang will choose to accept its own inheritance among the two camps?"
Shen Xuefeng shook his head and replied: "This is really hard to guess, after all, for us small gangs, there is no one on both sides who is more preferred, they are just a group of bandits and robbers with wolf ambitions!"
When he said this, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and there was some anger in his heart, if it weren't for these guys, the Wolf Tooth Gang and the Hungry Tiger Gang wouldn't have jumped over the wall in such a hurry, and they wouldn't have fought miserably!
Zhang Yuanyi looked at the angry expression of the leader of the Hungry Tiger Gang, but he had different thoughts about it.
It is not that we agree with the forcible seizure and barbaric acts of the two camps, but only in the long run, the rivers and lakes of a country have no leaders all year round and have internal friction with each other, and this expenditure is very unoptimistic in the long run.
Moreover, the long-term accumulation of grievances is like a high-rise building starting from a lot of soil, once the backlog reaches a certain level, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and the harm under the collapse is also unimaginable, and the benefits of damage are probably not comparable now.
In the choice of continuing to decay and making the rivers and lakes look new, the two camps still choose the way of cutting through the mess quickly, although the effect is obvious, but I am afraid that the strength is not mastered well, and this already small volume of the rivers and lakes will be cut off with a knife, and it will be difficult to recover in the end.
Zhang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the sky, at this moment the bright moon was hanging high, one after another in the clouds, faintly appeared, sighed and said: "The mixing of fish and dragons in this small river and lake is really dazzling, and the mind is confused." ”
He lowered his head and comforted himself and said, "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, and we can only take one step at a time." ”
"Big brother, I suddenly remembered something, maybe it can help a little!" just as the situation entered an impasse, Hong Guan said.
Zhang Yuanyi lifted his spirit and said, "Hurry up and listen!"
Hong Guan said, "I heard that the master of the Wolf Tooth Gang has an acquaintance in the Blackwater Villa, but I also learned about this matter by accident, and the truth of the matter still needs to be investigated. ”
Zhang Yuanyi said excitedly: "That's enough, as long as there is a little clue, at least we will not be in a passive situation anymore." Let's take it for now. ”
Everyone nodded, and the dead horse was a live horse doctor.
Shen Xuefeng hugged his fists and said: "I'm just a rough man, but I'm very grateful to Mr. for being willing to bend over this quagmire to help Lin Quanguo." ”
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Sir, I dare not be ashamed, call me Brother Zhang in the future, this is also the task given to me by the academy, you guys will end today's deliberations, go back to recuperate your spirits, tomorrow's meeting with the Wolf Tooth Gang, I may disturb you a lot." ”
Shen Xuefeng clenched his fists again, "Since that's the case, don't bother Brother Zhang." ”
After speaking, Shen Xuefeng left with Hong Guan and Sanniang.
Waiting for everyone to leave, Zhang Yuanyi paced alone in the woods, discussing the next countermeasures.
For him as a cultivator, it doesn't matter if he rests or not, and his energy naturally goes without saying, but his heart is tired or not, that's another way to put it.
He has roughly understood the current form, and for the time being, he will be regarded as the representative of the academy, interfering in this matter as a third-party force, and then not considering the bunch of miscellaneous small sects here, then it will be a melee between Bailongguan and Blackwater Villa.
The White Dragon Temple is said to be the authentic Taoist sect canonized by Qingcheng Mountain here, but Zhang Yuanyi really doesn't know the depth of the water here, and he doesn't know how the White Dragon Temple thinks, and the attitude he has always shown is also vague, from time to time to stir up trouble everywhere, and from time to time he doesn't want to cause trouble, which has always been elusive.
As for Heishui Villa, Sima Zhao's heart is well known, that is, he simply wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance and wants to be the co-master of the rivers and lakes.
Moreover, Zhang Yuanyi always felt that things were not so simple, and there was an organization that everyone ignored behind the scenes that had not yet made a move, not only did not show the news, but it was even extremely abnormal, and with Zhang Yuan's little understanding now, once that party made a move, it would definitely be a thunderous means to surprise everyone
As for how the academy let Zhang Yuanyi come here to take over this task, Zhang Yuanyi really didn't understand it at all, although Lin Quanguo was small, it was still a lot more difficult for Zhang Yuanyi to deal with it alone at this time.
With no connections, no experience to speak of, and a stranger to life, he was completely self-made, Zhang Yuanyi had to suspect that the academy had no intention of letting Zhang Yuanyi go back from time to time, thinking about spending him here.
Zhang Yuanyi looked at the dark clouds in the sky and complained, "Master, master, what do you mean by this, the apprentice is still young and prime, I'm afraid he will become an old man when he comes back." ”
He suddenly had an idea, "Eh, I almost forgot one thing, I still have the big backer of the academy!"
Chaohu Academy is known as the cleanest place in the world, and it has always enjoyed a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and the students and disciples who come out of it have always been respected, so there has always been a saying on the rivers and lakes that practicing medicine does not kill, and the disciples of the academy do not kill.
And in Zhang Yuanyi's vision, I am afraid that the academy also took this factor into account.
The gentleman's nature is not different, and he is good at faking things.
......
Blackwater Villa, a huge mountain peak, with layers of attic buildings built around the mountain, winding upwards, like a coiling dragon.
At the top of the mountain, at the head of the dragon, a huge heavenly pool, the flowing water flows down for a long time, forming a waterfall that hangs directly on the Milky Way, and the noise is like the drum of ten thousand armies, and the noise is never stopped.
Because the whole mountain is pitch black, with black mountain rocks in the majority, the water of the waterfall flows slowly over the black rock mountain, and under the reflection of the sun, it is like a black water gushing down, which is extremely spectacular.
This is where the name of Blackwater Mountain Villa comes from.
At the top of the most majestic attic, an old man with a rickety body overlooks the world, although it obviously gives people an old appearance, but the temples are still black and bright, not like ordinary people.
A beautiful woman, slowly climbing up the steps from the bottom of the mountain, with a graceful figure, came to the top of the mountain, and said in a charming voice: "Owner, there is news from Nanxi Town." ”
The old man, squinting his eyes, said softly: "That's it, it's not bad, tomorrow I happen to be free, why don't you go down the mountain with me." ”
The woman bent down and replied, "Mourner, I know." ”
