Chapter 209: Hand-picked by the Mansion Master
On the eve of dawn, Luo Tianjin summoned Liu Xunyi to the study alone.
On the bookcase, the candle flame flickered, reflecting a faint dimness, reflecting Luo Tianjin's slightly tired face.
Liu Xunyi, who was full of doubts, stood respectfully in front of the table, staring at Luo Tianjin, who was silent drinking tea, with anxious eyes. The dim study was silent, and the silence was chilling.
"Xun Qin is really a very smart woman. ”
Suddenly, Luo Tianjin came up with a sentence for no reason, which made Liu Xunyi stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, Miss Xunqin is indeed Bing Xue smart." Her remarks in the middle hall just now were like an initiation, which made Zai Mao suddenly open. ”
"In this case, you also suspect that the mastermind is behind it...... Who once pretended to be Qin Tianjiu?" Luo Tianjin asked with a smile.
"Yes. Liu Xunyi replied truthfully, "If everything is true as Xun Qin's speculation, then we must find out this person." Otherwise, we are in the light, and this person is in the dark, and sooner or later it will be a woe. ”
"I want to leave this matter to you. Luo Tianjin got straight to the point and said, "After dawn, you will return to Yingchuan with Pan Yun and deal with the affairs of the Pan family." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be stunned, and said in astonishment: "Me?"
"Not bad!" Luo Tianjin smiled lightly, "First, you are thoughtful and excellent in martial arts, I believe there will be no mistakes." Second, that 'fake Qin Tianjiu', you are the only one from beginning to end, you have seen his appearance, and if you go to someone else, I am afraid that it will be useless. Third, after all, you are Pan Baye's 'grandson-in-law', although you have no real name, but it is also a fate, Pan Baye appreciated you a lot before his death, so it is up to you to end this matter, I believe that Pan Baye will also be pleased under Jiuquan. I wonder what you think?"
Liu Xunyi thought for a moment, and arched his hand: "Obey the orders of the mansion master!" After saying that, Liu Xunyi's eyes moved slightly, and then he changed his words, and said, "This trip...... I don't know what else the mansion master has to say?"
Liu Xunyi has always been witty, and he expected that Luo Tianjin would summon him to the study alone at this moment, not only to give him an errand, but also to have other advice.
Luo Tianjin's eyes flashed with a look of approval, and he nodded and smiled: "As Xie Xuan said, this matter can be big or small. I asked you to find out, but I don't want you to fall into someone else's trap, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood. Liu Xunyi muttered, "What does the mansion master mean...... It is not because of this incident that the contradiction between the Xianwang Mansion and the Qin clan in Hexi cannot be aroused. ”
"Clever!" Luo Tianjin said with a smile, "Although the Qin clan in Hexi has been saying that they want to seek justice from Shaolin and the Pan family. But in fact, the person Qin Ming really wanted to deal with was me. He knew that I had a close relationship with the six major sects, and he knew that I was the initiator of the Shaolin battle, so the person Qin Ming suspected the most was me, not Shaolin. In his heart, whether it is Shaolin or the Pan family, they are just bait that I threw at him. ”
Liu Xunyi frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Then why didn't Qin Ming come directly to trouble us?
"There are two reasons for this. Luo Tianjin said softly, "First, the knife book was lost in Shaomu Mountain, and the last person to handle it was also a Shaolin disciple. It is reasonable to be reasonable, if Qin Ming wants to find the 'Xuanshui Scroll', he should ask Shaolin for it, not me. He is famous for Shaolin, so he can naturally get the support and solidarity of the martial arts heroes. On the contrary, if he targets me, he is vexatious. Both, Qin Ming knows that Shaolin is in trouble, and I will never sit idly by, so the tighter he pushes Shaolin, the greater the pressure on us invisibly. I can't think of a few days before Shaolin will send someone to ask me for help. After all, this matter started because of me, Shaolin was an outsider, but he unexpectedly caused a lot of trouble to himself, so Shaolin is in trouble, I can't ignore it. During this time, the Qin family spread rumors that were unfavorable to Shaolin everywhere, and the reputation of the abbot of Xuanming was the most important, and he would not swallow his anger, otherwise he would not try his best to track down the whereabouts of the 'Xuanshui Scroll'. ”
Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly: "Qin Ming's 'heart attack' is really vicious. In the martial arts competition that day, it was obvious that they lost, but now the wicked people sued first, not to mention winning the sympathy of the martial arts heroes, and slandering Shaolin everywhere, making Shaolin speechless. Before Pan Baye was alive, there were still people who could compete with him for the 'Xuanshui Volume', but now that Pan Baye is dead, Qin Ming can justifiably take the 'Xuanshui Volume' as his own. Now that Shaolin has become the target of public criticism, if we venture to wade into this troubled water, the Xianwang Mansion is afraid that it will fall into a quagmire and be unable to extricate itself. ”
This is exactly Qin Ming's purpose. Luo Tianjin said faintly, "I dare to assert that this 'heart attack' was definitely not Qin Ming's idea, he was just caused by someone." ”
"Wasn't it Qin Ming's idea?" Liu Xunyi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Who is that?"
"Only relying on the Qin clan in Hexi, I will never dare to be an enemy of Shaolin and Xianwangfu. Now Qin Ming is fanfare, and he has no fear, and even dares to threaten to seek justice from Shaolin, do you say that there are other people behind him to help?" Luo Tianjin pretended to smile mysteriously.
Liu Xunyi had a flash of inspiration and exclaimed, "Golden Sword Dock!"
"Exactly. Luo Tianjin snorted lightly and said contemptuously, "Although Qin Ming is ruthless, he is not poisonous. can come up with such a vicious scheming, among the people I know, Jin Fuyu is the only one. This person has always been good at using tricks, and rarely fights with people with open swords and guns. At the beginning, Wang Xutong's affairs, as well as the 'Qin Demon Dancing Demon' went to Mongolia to inform, were all from this person's hands. He harmed me twice, and now he has a third plan. ”
"The one who pretended to be Qin Tianjiu...... Could it be that it is also someone from Jinjianwu?" Liu Xunyi speculated, "There are also people who deceived the 'Xuanshui Scroll' from Wu Chan's hands, will it also be ......?"
"I can't say exactly. Luo Tianjin hesitated, "But it shouldn't be, otherwise he used the Hexi Qin clan like this, how could Qin Ming continue to help him bluff......?" He even hid it from the Qin family. Anyway, if it were me, I wouldn't do it. ”
"Why?"
"Jin Jianwu's biggest reliance is the four great families of martial arts. offending the Hexi Qin clan will not only not benefit Jin Fuyu at all, but will also affect the other three families and create estrangement from him. Luo Tianjin analyzed, "Although Jin Fuyu has always wanted to deal with me, I think he should be able to distinguish between me and the four great families." ”
Liu Xunyi frowned, looking distracted and contemplative, and muttered to himself: "If Jin Jianwu is making trouble behind his back, everything will be simple. But if it weren't for the Golden Sword Dock, there would have been people we didn't know were hiding in the shadows...... And this man has no kindness to us......"
"This is also the reason why I befriended the Young Qin King. Luo Tianjin nodded and said, "The so-called wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." The Xianwang Mansion made a big splash in the rivers and lakes, which inevitably attracted a lot of jealousy and framing. The Shaolin War, the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion was damaged, and at this moment, I urgently need a powerful outsider to help. And this person is the King of Shaoqin!"
"The bystanders are clear, but the authorities are confused. Liu Xunyi replied nondeniably, "King Xian's Mansion is in the center of the whirlpool, and there is a hidden disaster somewhere, and we really need an outsider to help us identify the form, and even help us solve some things that are inconvenient for us to solve." It turns out that this is the real reason why the lord of the mansion befriended the young Qin king, and I admire it!"
Luo Tianjin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Xun Yi, you have been in the mansion for several months, do you think that Xie Xuan and the others sometimes act too conservatively?" or even ...... Weak?"
In the face of Luo Tianjin's ridicule, Liu Xunyi didn't dare to answer, so he could only smile, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
"Actually, you can't blame them for that. Luo Tianjin explained, "The undercurrents in the rivers and lakes are surging, the waves are turbulent, and there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere, if it weren't for Xie Xuan and others to be careful about their affairs, how could the Xianwang Mansion be able to come to this day in peace and stability? Hehe...... Looking for clothes, you must remember that you must first think about self-protection in case of trouble, and then try to plot. When making a choice, you should put yourself first, and you can give up everything else. Otherwise, you will lose your life, how can you talk about the grand plan to dominate the industry?"
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel abrupt in his heart, and secretly thought: "Is it really right to 'protect yourself' in advance and give up everything for yourself? Is it true that people live in the world and should not put morality first? Walking the rivers and lakes, should we sacrifice our lives for righteousness or sacrifice righteousness for survival?"
"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, you have to learn to see the moves, step by step, and make progress. Luo Tianjin didn't notice Liu Xunyi's thoughts, and said to himself, "Xunyi, you are very smart, among the young disciples of the Xianwang Mansion, I am most optimistic about you, don't let me down!"
Luo Tianjin's words were heartfelt words, which made Liu Xunyi feel moved at the same time, but also a trace of guilt.
"This is going to Yingchuan, the funeral is small, and finding out who is behind the scenes is the top priority. Luo Tianjin advised, "But you don't need to worry too much, I will help you secretly and lead that person to appear again." ”
"The lord of the house means ......"
"As Xun Qin said, I just need to stand still and force him to attack the Pan family again. Luo Tianjin smiled confidently, "As long as you catch him, you can follow the vine and find out this villain who is hiding in the shadows and has been stumbling on us." ”
"Yes!" Liu Xunyi happily agreed, "As long as this person dares to show up, I will definitely catch him." ”
As for this, a trace of hesitation quietly welled up in Liu Xunyi's eyes, and he asked instead, "But...... What if Xun Qin guessed wrong? In case there is no so-called mastermind behind the scenes, then ......"
"One month. Luo Tianjin groaned, "A month later, if Yingchuan has not moved, you will go home." ”
Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to speak, Luo Tianjin had already muttered to himself: "But I have a hunch, Xun Qin's guess is right......
Liu Xunyi was surprised in his heart, and said tentatively: "Why does the mansion master believe in her so much......? Aren't you afraid that she has a plan?"
"She must have deliberately approached me with a plan, there is no doubt about it. But now, she's going to be single-minded about helping me get things right. ”
"Why?"
"Because I have made an appointment with her, and each other will show their strengths and take what they need!"
Luo Tianjin didn't say it thoroughly, but Liu Xunyi had vaguely guessed. The agreement between the two must have referred to the conspiracy of the three hours in the study that day.
Suddenly, Luo Tianjin raised her eyebrows and said with a light smile: "Xunyi, I will let Xun Qin go with you on this trip and help you." ”
"What?"
Liu Xunyi was shocked, and his eyes became a little flustered. He was afraid of Xun Qin, but he didn't expect Luo Tianjin to arrange her by his side.
"As you said before, Xun Qin is an extremely intelligent woman. Therefore, with her by your side to help you, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when you go to Yingchuan. As for this, Luo Tianjin reminded again, "But the smarter a woman, the more dangerous she is." You have to be careful. Incidentally...... Spy on her for me. ”
"Surveillance?" Liu Xunyi was confused and puzzled, "Does the mansion master not believe her?"
"I and the King of Shaoqin are just using each other, how can I believe Xun Qin?" Luo Tianjin sneered, "This female city is extremely deep, even in front of me, what she says is false, half-truth, half-truth. You have to watch her carefully in case she does something small behind her back. ”
After that, without waiting for Liu Xunyi, who didn't seem to understand, to answer, Luo Tianjin had suddenly got up, moved his muscles a few times, walked to the window, looked at the white fish belly in the eastern sky, and a strange smile raised at the corner of his mouth.
"It's dawn, and it's time for you to go!"
