The Way of Vertical and Horizontal (42)
On the bald cliff by the sea, Mu Qiubai stood in the wind, the sea breeze was blowing, blowing the sturdy figure, grim and deep, although it was just a back, it was so tall. The Four Wonders just stood quietly not far away, only if they sat on the stone beside them, their hair fluttering in the wind. Even when sitting quietly, its gentle and gentle charm is incomparable, and even if the mask is still beautiful. Everyone saw Mu Qiubai's angry side, but the anger that erupted from his heart was forcibly suppressed by him in his heart. He had been standing here for an hour, not moving. As his retinue, the only thing they could do was to be by his side, waiting to be sent.
Finally, Mu Qiubai asked, "You don't plan to persuade me?" Ruoxi shook his head and said, "As the master of a sect, slaves and maids don't have to persuade in these matters, and they have no right to persuade them. Mu Qiubai said: "I have felt the warmth of emotion, and now what I am looking for is how to get out of the confusion." Ruo Xi said: "Maybe we don't have the friendship you once had for more than 30 years, but we can still accompany you for another 30 years." Mu Qiubai said coldly: "Thirty years, what a long thirty years, but it was suddenly destroyed overnight, is this result already over?" Ruoxi shook his head and said, "I don't have to persuade you, all you need is time." Mu Qiubai sighed lightly and asked, "What do you think of Yuliuxiang and the Hades?" Ruo Xi said: "This person has a very strong evil spirit, and there must be a lot of killings, and his heart is even more crazy than ours, obviously it has been eroded by the Heavenly Sin Blade for a long time, but it is somewhat similar to the heart of the Hades King." Mu Qiubai wanted to say more, but he looked sideways at the Four Wonders and said, "You have been by the side of the sect master for a long time, are you just here as subordinates?" The four wonders glanced at each other, and Lu Qianhong said: "Why does the sect master look at us?" Mu Qiubai said: "Is there a difference between all people?" Lu Qianhong said: "That's the case, the subordinates think that the sect master doesn't have to be entangled for a while, and this person's appearance is not only us. The suzerain waits and sees the changes, and judging the time and the matter is the place to act. Mu Qiubai said: "It seems that you can teach me a lot. Lu Qianhong half-knelt down and said, "The sect master is interested, and his subordinates must do their best." ”
In the distance, the scouts of the Zongheng Gate came to give orders. Respectfully handed over the word check, it was Zhang Shaoying who sent Mu Qiubai to discuss the matter.
The group took the car back to Xianlu Villa, Zhang Shaoying, Ji Lingshuang, Liu Yan, the left and right envoys, the masters of the eight gates, and the Yin Sect were all waiting. Zhang Shaoying sat down and said, "The rectification of the south gate is imminent." Hu Dao is in charge of the South Gate, and now he intends to gather the people of the South Gate to Tiantai Mountain, this trip can be described as very profound, what do you think?" Mu Qiubai said: "Fighting manpower is not a long-term solution, it is impossible to break the roots, the South Gate gathered the people, and we just happened to stabilize their positions, and then it was the strategy of the left and right guards." Zuo Zixin laughed and said, "Your transformation is indeed amazing. Mu Qiubai responded: "As you." Isn't it so strange?" Zuo Zixin said: "In today's situation, let's focus on stability. If you don't advance or retreat, it's time for the battlefield to change places. Mansha, who is now the master of the four gates of the Zongheng Gate, asked: "Today's deliberations will definitely pass into the hands of the South Gate, and our every move will not escape their eyes, don't the two guards feel abrupt?" It is not as direct as the immediate, but in terms of the general trend. Why don't you be afraid of the opponent's defense of such a decision?" The second gate master Sunset said: "Hu Dao actually put the people of the South Gate under our noses, the situation of the new beggar gang is stable, the foundation is not deep, it all depends on our financial support, once there is a change." The losses are immeasurable. Zuo Zixin said: "Everything has been discussed and then decided that it is far from changing quickly, and in the future, the vertical and horizontal door will be discussed at the beginning of each month, and you will perform your duties and order your own settlement." ”
At that moment, the various doors got up and retreated, and the double envoy looked at the masters of the Hidden Sect, and said: "Acting and planning will be able to take responsibility with your Fang Yuan's state of mind, and I will take this as a matter today, and I hope that you will work together to participate in this move." Seeing that the right sub-line only needs to share this action, and does not need to participate in the grand event, the four words obviously tell everyone that what they are doing now is morally untenable. However, in order to survive, this is a journey they have to go through. The world is so complex, and many times theory is just a belief, as an end pursuit, and it is not possible to really apply it. Whether it is a dereliction of duty in human ethics or the world is like this, many people are confused.
According to the order of Hudao, the south gate began to gather on the east side of Tiantai Mountain, and the state and county settled all matters. In this regard, Huang San, who had just stabilized the affairs of the beggar gang, gave Zhang Shaoying a secret recital, and the left and right guards immediately ordered the masters of the six gates of the Zongheng Gate to go to the beggar camp to assist Huang San, in order to show the determination of the Zongheng faction.
Fortunately, although the large camp of the South Gate Gate gathered was only one river away from the Huangsan camp, the chickens and dogs heard each other but did not speak, and even the people on duty did not see them. The master of the six gates of the vertical and horizontal gate came in person, but he covered his face with a mask and did not show anyone. From Huang San's secret to Zongheng's faction to help, it was only six hours before and after, which shows the importance that Zonghengmen attaches to the beggars. Being in the rivers and lakes, what is needed at this weak moment is a safe and strong backing, with the heart of the vertical and horizontal doors, when the support is the mainstay, and does not hinder the growth of the beggar gang, so a good opportunity Huang San has been talking to the beggar gang for a long time. The beggar gang actually Huang San vigorously rectified and discussed the doctrine of gang rules, and his prestige in his relationship with Zonghengmen grew. Although Huang San treated the six masters who came to help him with courtesy, he was always cautious in his words. Such caution is not respect or fear, but a precaution against the beggars from being annexed by the Zonghengmen. As the leader of a gang, this is what he should do, and it is what Zonghengmen expects to see, so that such a beggar gang has its value to support.
Xianlu Villa, in the seaside pavilion, Zhang Shaoying and his wife and Steward Yang, the two envoys are secretly discussing, and the octagonal guard is defending around. No one knew what they were talking about, and the gate hadn't even changed much. The three sects that dispersed were each stable in their positions, and there was not even a trace of movement at the south gate, but a large number of people from the south gate gathered, and in just a few days, there were tens of thousands of people, gathered but not chaotic, orderly, and even the noise was rare.
Far away at the top of Pingshan Mountain in Fuzhou, you can see the flowing Minjiang River. The summer is scorching, the mountains are high and the water is green, although there is the benefit of the scorching sun, it is difficult to resist appreciating the majesty of heaven and earth. As one of the three mountains of Fuzhou, this is the foundation of the Nangong family in Fuzhou since the ancestors of the Sui Dynasty have been passed down to the present, which has lasted for more than 400 years. Although the foundation of the Nangong family collapsed in the Huangchao Rebellion that year, and its momentum is not as good as in the past, it is still the first-class giant businessman in Fujian. Fishery, salt, gambling houses, cabinet shops, etc., are involved in all walks of life, which is enough to influence Fujian's finances. It is precisely because of the special nature of the Nangong family that the Song Court gave the Nangong family the privilege. Three days ago, Nangong Xiuyun, the head of the Nangong family, received a secret letter, which turned out to be the secretary of Xiaoyao, the thief leader of Xiaoyao City. What is said in the book only says that the grievances between the Nangong family and Xiaoyao City are resolved with shocking secrets. Although the Nangong family is dominated by Nangong Xiuyun now, these major matters still need to be discussed by the family uncle, which is Nangong Xiuyun's only relative now.
Uncle Zu is a lean man in his fifties, and he has also been the support of Nangong Xiuyun for many years. After a discussion, Pingshan was originally owned by the Nangong family for generations, and now led the Nangong family nursing home to the top of the mountain. There was indeed a person on the top of the mountain at this time, and there was a rumored flying wing outside the pavilion, and I had to sigh at its magnanimity. Uncle Clan asked the nurse to wait on the mountainside, and went to the top of the mountain with Nangong Xiuyun and his personal maid Qiaoyun. This is the foundation of Nangong, the top of the mountain has been refined for many years, and it is ingenious, just like the desperate situation in the world, which makes people forget to return. Looking at the green shirt in the pavilion, even if it is the back, the upright posture exudes a convincing vicissitudes. As the head of the Nangong family, he is forty years old, and Nangong Xiuyun also has vicissitudes that ordinary people have never experienced.
Before Nangong Xiuyun approached, the man in the green shirt suddenly shook his hand, and a letter shot out. Nangong Xiuyun came casually, unfolded it, and trembled all over, her mind was like turning over the river and the sea, this letter subverted her hatred for more than 30 years, like a heavy blow slammed into her heart, unbearable, her body was weak, and Qiaoyun held her in surprise. Uncle Nangong Ming picked up the letter and looked at it, his heart fluttered, and he stepped forward and asked, "Are you really carefree?" The man in green shirt turned around, and the handsome face that appeared, his leisurely and introverted atmosphere was praised, it was the city lord of Xiaoyao City, Xiaoyao, but he listened to Xiaoyao and said: "Of course." Nangong Ming asked in a deep voice: "The falsehood in this is not yet verifiable, I am afraid that you want to start with the Nangong family and spread this information throughout the martial arts." He waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to enter the pavilion. Nangong knew that it would be difficult to die well if he was found in Xiaoyao City, with today's Xiaoyao City, the peak of the vertical and horizontal gates, the Nangong family is unique and difficult to compete, and it is the most beneficial ending for both parties.
At that moment, the three of them walked into the pavilion, but they did not sit down. Xiaoyao still turned around and stared at the Minjiang River in the distance, and behind his negative hand, he was born with a heroic spirit that people dare not underestimate, which also shows the importance he attaches to this trip. Xiaoyao said: "Now the Zonghengmen needs financial support, in terms of today, is there anything more suitable in this world than the Nangong family?" Nangong Ming said: "No matter what your intentions are, even if the book is true, the Nangong family will not help the rebels." Xiaoyao responded: "Rebel aliens? It seems that the Nangong family is not as magical as it is rumored." Nangong Xiuyun said: "Is it just a rumor that you are killing officials, attacking the roots, harming the people, and disturbing the stability of the country?" (To be continued......)
