Chapter 997: A Gathering of Heroes (2)
"The meaning of the Lonely Moon Daoist is understood, but understanding is not the same as understanding. After thinking for a while, Qin Wei still seemed to be puzzled, and muttered, "Shu Benhou is shallow, Liu Xunyi has been on an errand in Tianji Pavilion for 20 years, and he is conscientious and hardworking, and he is only a five-grade official residence. For the imperial court...... It can almost be described as a 'small official', Mo said that the emperor disdained it, even if Zhao Yuan, the 'Marquis of Tianji' back then, could discipline him obediently. However, he has only dealt with your Central Plains martial arts for only three or five years, how can he soar to the sky? How can he have such a great appeal? To put it disrespectfully, the status of the martial arts alliance leader in the rivers and lakes ...... It is equivalent to the status of the emperor in the dynasty, and life and death are at his fingertips, how can he put a desperate Liu Xunyi in his eyes? What surprises me even more is that the leader of the Qingfeng Alliance has obviously issued an order to chase and kill him in the rivers and lakes, why are so many people recklessly helping him? As everyone knows, from the moment the emperor designated Liu Xunyi as a 'criminal of the imperial court,' no one from the top of the imperial court to the official officials dared to have anything to do with Liu Xunyi again, for fear of being reckless. With such a self-respecting deterrent, why can't you find a trace on the martial arts alliance leader?"
"Lord Qin has lived in the imperial court for a long time, is accustomed to the king's decrees and laws, and prohibits, and knows very little about the people in the rivers and lakes. Gu Yue smiled bitterly, "Although the Lord of the Martial Arts Alliance is the Lord of the Central Plains Martial Arts, there is still a world of difference between him and the Emperor of the Ninety-Five. Imperial power is granted by the mandate of heaven, and it is hereditary and resigned, so it is true that no one dares to disobey it. The leader of the martial arts alliance is a 'halfway monk', relying on his own strength and prestige step by step, and is jointly elected by the heroes of the world for a period of three years. Therefore, although the leader of the martial arts alliance has the right to command the heroes, he has no power to dispatch the heroes, let alone the ability to control the various factions. What's more, the people in the rivers and lakes are different from the officials of the imperial court, but all the heroes and heroes who have made a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes are mostly courageous and unruly. These people tend to do whatever they want, soft and hard. If he obeys you, he will have no regrets when he goes up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and he will enjoy it. If he doesn't accept you, even if he stabs him ten times, he will still dare to point at your nose and scold your mother. Therefore, the emperor's prestige is greater than his grace, and the martial arts alliance leader is more than his majesty. Once the prestige is damaged, the heroes of the world will be dissatisfied, and the power of the martial arts alliance leader will no longer exist. Although Liu Xunyi has not been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, he has made many outlaws, who only recognize 'love and righteousness', not 'power'. Don't say that the leader of the martial arts alliance is not taken seriously by them, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu does not want to shake their determination to be in cahoots with Liu Xunyi. ”
In fact, the real reason is only half of what Gu Yue said. The reason why Liu Xunyi has such a great appeal is more important is his little-known life experience.
However, this section of Gu Yue did not intend to tell Qin Wei now.
The reason for this is nothing more than the delicate relationship between Qin Wei and Liu Xunyi. Qingfeng was worried that revealing Liu Xunyi's life experience too early might shake Qin Wei's heart.
In case he betrayed the battle out of concern for his brotherhood, and even persuaded the imperial court to change from 'supporting Qingfeng' to 'supporting Liu Xunyi', the consequences would be unimaginable.
Even if this possibility is very small, Qingfeng still needs to be cautious and cautious, just in case.
Qin Wei was skeptical of Gu Yue's explanation, but he didn't get to the bottom of it, but his mind turned around, and a trace of indescribable entanglement flashed in the depths of his eyes.
As if worried that Gu Yue would see his apprehension, Qin Wei's eyelids drooped, and he pretended to ask casually, "How is Liu Xunyi now?"
"In the past, I was lucky to pick up a life in Lin'an, but now I don't want to escape in Luoyang. Gu Yue sneered, "Lord Qin don't worry, we won't let you run for nothing." The head just wants to borrow Liu Xunyi's life at the 'hoeing conference' to give a satisfactory explanation to the heroes of the world. After this incident, we are willing to hand over Liu Xunyi's body to the adults, as for how the imperial court will deal with it...... It has nothing to do with us. ”
"Ben Hou and Liu Xunyi have known each other for a long time, can the Guyue Dao Master convey a request to the Qingfeng Alliance Master for me?" Qin Wei frowned slightly, and said intermittently, "This matter ...... It has nothing to do with the imperial court, it is Benhou's own meaning. ”
The old man listened attentively. ”
"Ben Hou knows that on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Liu Xunyi will definitely die. I have come thousands of miles, and I will not interfere with the arrangements of the Qingfeng Alliance Leader. It's just ......" Qin Wei's eyes were complicated, and his words became more and more hesitant, "When the Qingfeng Alliance Lord executes Liu Xunyi, can he ...... Leave him a whole corpse?"
"This ......" Gu Yue was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"All men are dead...... All grievances should be dusted and dusted. I've known him since I was a child, and I can't bear to see him die without a body. ”
"Lord Qin attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and the old man is deeply admired. But the matter ...... The old man did not dare to make his own decisions. Gu Yue hesitated, "What the head of the family means...... Use Liu Xunyi's head to comfort the dead. If you leave him with a whole corpse, I am afraid that it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart. ”
"This ......"
"However, Lord Qin's intentions, the old man will convey them truthfully. Even if he couldn't leave Liu Xunyi's whole corpse, he would find someone to sew up his head and body afterwards and hand it over to Lord Qin for a corpse. ”
"So...... That's it!"
"Actually, the old man also has a reluctant request, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Gu Yue rolled her eyes and took advantage of the situation to speak, "Of course, this matter is not the intention of the master, but the old man's own thoughts." ”
"May I hear and teach!"
"On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, in case Liu Xunyi dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and decided to 'bite back'. ...... if necessary The old man hopes that Lord Qin can come forward and take charge of my family...... Justice. ”
"Preside over justice?" Qin Wei raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously, "What do you mean...... Let me stand up and refute Liu Xunyi and give perjury for the Qingfeng Alliance leader?"
When Gu Yue heard the word "perjury", her face quietly changed, and then she smiled, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"I don't know what you mean by 'when necessary'...... When is it?" At this time, Qin Wei's heart was already a little unhappy, but he remained silent on the surface, "Could it be that the Qingfeng Alliance Master and Mrs. Luo together can't speak as much as a little Liu Xunyi?"
If it was just Liu Xunyi biting alone, it would naturally be insignificant. After all, it is a dying person, and it is reasonable to 'frame him', and I believe that the heroes of the world will not care. Gu Yue replied meaningfully, "But if other people stand up to help, especially those who appeared in King Xian's Mansion on the seventh night of the lunar month of the year before last......
"You're talking about...... Xie Xuan and Yun Chasing the Moon?"
"That's good!" Gu Yue replied frankly, "Among them, Xie Xuan is the most deadly. He is Luo Tianjin's friend of life and death, and now he is the lord of Xianwang's Mansion, if he talks nonsense...... It is difficult to guarantee that the heroes of the world will not breed criticism against the boss. At this time, if there is a person of great weight who stands up and says a few 'fair words' for the master......"
"Your Excellency is attentive...... It doesn't seem good. Seeing that Gu Yue was fooling himself like a fool, Qin Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore and did not shy away from teasing, "If Ben Hou stands up and clarifies his identity, he can certainly 'testify' for the Qingfeng Alliance Leader, but at the same time, he will also let everyone know about Luo Tianjin's death...... It's about me. In this way, wouldn't those Jianghu people who shouted for revenge for Luo Tianjin regard Ben Hou as Liu Xunyi's comrade? It is understandable that Daoist Guyue wants to help the Qingfeng Alliance Leader 'prove his innocence', but he treats Ben Hou as a 'sacrifice' and puts me in a catastrophe...... It doesn't seem to be very kind. ”
"Lord Qin, don't misunderstand, the old man has no intention of killing chickens and taking eggs. Gu Yue's eyes changed, and she hurriedly explained, "I'm just thinking about the current situation, adults are in the same boat with us, and everyone shares weal and woe." If the head of the sect is harassed in the 'hoeing and rape conference', or even falls into the upper hand, I am afraid that the adults will be in Luoyang City...... It will be difficult to be secured. On the contrary, as long as the head of the family sits firmly on the throne of the leader of the martial arts alliance, the heroes of the world will be pious and obedient. Adults must sit back and relax, and no one will dare to trouble you. ”
"Is Daoist Guyue threatening Ben Hou?or is he reminding Ben Hou?" Qin Wei's tone became more and more unkind, and there was already a hint of questioning.
"No, the old man is just talking about things. I believe that with Lord Qin's discernment, he will be able to see the old man's sincere heart. Gu Yue pretended to be humble, "Of course, whether this matter is successful or not is decided by Lord Qin, and the old man will never dare to force it." ”
"I will weigh this matter carefully, and everything will be done after the 'hoe and rape conference'. ”
"The old man also hopes that the hoe will go smoothly, and all our worries are superfluous. As for this, Gu Yue seemed to see that Qin Wei was a little impatient, so she looked very worried, and pretended to be concerned, "Is it customary for Lord Qin to live here?
"Don't bother!" Qin Wei waved his hand without thinking, "I once visited the Xianwang Mansion with Zhao Yuan, and many people have seen me, knowing that I am a member of the imperial court, and also knowing that I assassinated Luo Tianjin...... I have a share of that, too. The reason why Ben Hou disguised himself was that he didn't want to attract the attention of others and provoke senseless incidents. Now, I'm just a nobody in the rivers and lakes, and I'm just joining in the fun with everyone, if the Qingfeng Alliance leader takes extra care, it will arouse suspicion. ”
"Haha...... Since Lord Qin ...... Oh no! It should be that Qin Gongzi has his own plans, and the old man is no longer strong. Gu Yue got off the donkey down the slope and pretended to be generous, "Shunxi is his own person, if Qin Gongzi has any orders, just look for him." All your expenses in Luoyang City are all counted on the old man's head. ”
"Elder Lonely Moon is too polite......"
"Smack!"
Just as Qin Wei and Gu Yue were playing on the spot, a loud sound of a broken teapot suddenly came from downstairs. This was followed by a chaotic smashing noise and shouting and screaming.
"Bang, bang!"
Before Qin Wei and Gu Yue, who were at a loss, could discern the situation, the closed door was suddenly knocked on.
"Uncle Shi, something happened downstairs. ”
Hearing this, Gu Yue frowned, subconsciously glanced at the absent-minded Qin Wei, and asked in a deep voice, "What's so noisy?"
"There were two groups of people in the lobby who were shouting at each other over a pot of tea, and even got into a fight. A slightly embarrassed reply from the Wudang disciple came from outside the door, "One of the people ...... It was Lord Qin's subordinates. ”
