"Bang, bang!"

"Mansion Master, the Qingfeng Dao Commander is here. ”

"Squeak!"

Xie Xuantong was not settled, and the door had already opened.

When Luo Tianjin saw that Qingfeng was the only one outside the door, he was stunned at first, and then under Xie Xuan's indescribable strange eyes, his heart suddenly became clear. At that moment, a touch of bitterness arose.

Tonight is the first time Luo Tianjin and Qingfeng have met since the Dragon Boat Festival, so they are in a very complicated mood.

"Dad, please inside, I've made you a good pot of tea. ”

While letting Qingfeng into the room, Luo Tianjin instructed Xie Xuan to guard outside the door and not allow anyone to disturb him.

Closing the door, Luo Tianjin respectfully offered a cup of fragrant tea to Qingfeng, but he stood aside, his chin was silent, and he looked uneasy and restrained, like a junior who made a mistake in front of his elders, ready to listen to the teachings.

Qingfeng is not only Luo Tianjin's father-in-law, but also his master, and the benefactor who single-handedly provided him with talent.

Therefore, no matter how beautiful Luo Tianjin is today, how respectful the status of the rivers and lakes is. In front of Qingfeng, he is always a junior.

When outsiders are present, the two sit on an equal footing and respect each other as guests. But when they met alone, Luo Tianjin was still as respectful to his mentor as before.

The fragrance of tea is overflowing, refreshing. It's a pity that in the face of such a good cup of tea, Qingfeng has no interest in tasting it.

After being silent for a long time, it was Qingfeng who broke the embarrassment, sighed, and said softly: "Xuan'er's injury...... Is it getting better?"

"I have invited the 'No. 1 Divine Doctor in the World' Granny Peach Blossom to the Xianwang Mansion, and she will come out, and Xuan'er's life is safe. Luo Tianjin said, "Also, Xiaoxiao's body is fine, so Dad doesn't have to worry." ”

"That's good. Qingfeng said regretfully, "It's a pity that Xuan'er, this kid, is so good that he is a person, and he ...... Alas!"

Mentioning Luo Hongxuan's injury, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said: "I am now doing my best to cultivate Yu'er, hoping that she can live up to expectations and take over from Xuan'er as soon as possible." ”

"Yu'er is my daughter's home after all. Qingfeng said helplessly, "How can you bear it if you let a weak woman get involved in the ups and downs in the rivers and lakes?"

"If it weren't for the situation, I wouldn't want to go into the water. The Xianwang Mansion cannot be succeeded by no one, let alone fall into the hands of outsiders. At present, I can only consider a wishful husband for Yu'er, so that I can keep this family business for her. ”

Qingfeng's eyes moved, and he said curiously: "Is there a candidate?"

"Liu Xunyi. Luo Tianjin replied truthfully, "This son is brave and strategic, both civil and military, and he is a rare young talent." The most important thing is that Yu'er is infatuated with him. If the two of them can get married, they will be able to play a harmonious and sincere relationship with each other. ”

"Do you want to recruit Liu Xunyi as your son-in-law?"

"What does Daddy think?"

Qingfeng pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said: "Although this son is from a humble background, he has a great career in the Xianwang family, and he doesn't want to do anything about him." As long as you are sincere about Yu'er, it is worth considering. ”

"That's what Daddy said. ”

At this end, the room fell silent again, Qingfeng absentmindedly lowered his head to sip tea, and Luo Tianjin's eyes were hesitant, as if he was entangled in something.

"Tianjin. After a while, Qingfeng suddenly put down the teacup and said bluntly, "Do you have something to ask......?

"I already know about this matter, it is Yuwen Xiu who is secretly making trouble with the power of the imperial court, and I can't complain about my father. Luo Tianjin answered, "The six heads and the four masters are just taking advantage of the trend, which is a wise move. ”

"You can understand that the old man is very pleased. Qingfeng smiled, "Actually, we are just hindered by the face of the imperial court, so it is inconvenient to take action directly." You can rest assured, we have reached an agreement with Yuwen Xiu that once he is in the martial arts conference, we can send disciples to help. ”

Hearing this, Luo Tianjin's eyes froze, and he asked, "In this way, the other heads and heads of the family are the same?"

"We just gave the court three points of affection and promised not to block Yuwenxiu's way. Qingfeng said, "But if Yuwen Xiu himself is not angry, and we intervene again, I believe that the imperial court will have nothing to say." ”

And so it was. Luo Tianjin said thoughtfully, "In this way, only by solving Yuwen Xiu first, can I break free from the shackles and ask for strong help." ”

"It's not just you who think, Jin Fuyu is the same. Qingfeng reminded, "You want to borrow Jin Fuyu's hand to get rid of Yuwen Xiu, and Jin Fuyu also wants you and Yuwen Xiu to fight and lose both, and reap the benefits yourself." In this game of chess of the martial arts conference, you have me, I have you, one son makes a mistake, and the whole game is lost. Tianjin, the old man doesn't want you to fall into the trap and lose, so you must be careful every step of the way. ”

Qingfeng had something to say, which made Luo Tianjin stunned, and said suspiciously: "Dad, do you have something to say to me?"

Qingfeng's face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a long time before he said meaningfully: "Tianjin, you are no longer what you used to be, and there are some things that the old man shouldn't have said much." But since you call me 'Daddy', the old man can't abandon you. Is...... It's a dilemma. ”

Luo Tianjin's expression was straight, and he said respectfully: "You are not only my father-in-law, but also Tianjin's mentor, you can tell you anything directly, even if you point your nose and scold me, Tianjin will never complain." What I am most afraid of is that you are separated from your disciples and secretly estranged. Dad, if you are willing to help me, please speak up. ”

Qingfeng's brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed: "I am your 'father', how can I not help you?" But you should know that after the Dragon Boat Festival, the reputation of the Xian Wang's Mansion plummeted, and even your reputation as the 'Northern Xian King' ...... It is also a river going down. In the past, you were entangled in the gossip of the ruthless valley lord, and then Zhongli Wanying hanged herself in the Xianwang Mansion in shame and indignation, causing the martial arts righteous path to criticize you a lot. At this moment, instead of expecting others to help you, why don't you think about how you can help yourself save face? If the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion in the rivers and lakes is getting worse, and you are still unable to turn the tide, even if I have the heart to save you, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky. Tianjin, do you understand what the old man means?"

Qingfeng's words were quite obscure, which made Luo Tianjin feel more and more that something was wrong, so he asked, "Please also ask Dad to make it clear." ”

"Tianjin, you were raised by me, and you are also the smartest and most motivated of my many disciples. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have married Xiaoxiao to you. Actually, I originally intended to train you to become the future head of the Wudang faction, but unfortunately you are not here, you are not willing to submit to others, and you don't do it with a ready-made Wudang 'son-in-law', you have to set up your own door and be a 'virtuous king'? As early as more than 20 years ago, the old man warned you that starting a sect and establishing a sect is by no means as simple as you imagined, even if you become the king of Beixian, what if you are in charge of half of the martial arts? Once you take a wrong step, you will still be beaten back to its original form overnight and become the target of public criticism. In the rivers and lakes, no matter what heroes and heroes, famous and decent, the precedent of 'a thousand years of Taoism and a funeral' abounds, and the old man does not want you to follow in their footsteps. ”

Qingfeng's words were full of sounds, Luo Tianjin was suspicious, and asked for advice: "I just don't know...... How do I make the trade-offs that can turn the tide?"

"It is imperative that you keep yourself clean, pro-virtuous ministers, and far from villains. ”

"Oh?" Luo Tianjin's eyes lit up, and he asked again, "Dare to ask who is the virtuous minister, who is the villain?"

"The twelve heroes of martial arts are virtuous ministers. Crooked and heretical, martial arts heresy, is a villain. Qingfeng said bluntly, "But what you are doing right now is the opposite......

"I ......"

"Don't be busy arguing. Qingfeng waved his hand to interrupt Luo Tianjin's explanation and continued, "The Qin clan in Hexi is a virtuous minister, but you are in a-for-tat confrontation with the Pan family in Yingchuan. Qingcheng and Emei are virtuous ministers, but you watched them befriend Jin Fuyu and did nothing. The Kunlun faction is a virtuous minister, but you are in Jiangzhou to prevent them from dealing with the Valley of Despair. The Kongtong faction is a virtuous minister, but you have no way to do it, causing the two families to break up. These are all your negligence and fault. ”

Qingfeng said as he carefully observed Luo Tianjin's reaction, and saw that his expression was solemn and thoughtful, and he seemed to agree with his teachings.

"Moreover, Heartless Valley is a villain, but you have an unclear emotional entanglement with Xiao Zhirou. As for this, Qingfeng suddenly looked straight and said in a low voice, "There is also the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace, I heard that you have sent people to the Western Regions to get close to Ren Wuya, I don't know...... Is this true or false?"

"Shhh ”

"Confused!" Qingfeng reproached, "Tianjin, you know that the Jade Dragon Palace is a martial arts cult, how can you have anything to do with it?"

"I want to borrow the hand of Ren Wuya to deal with Jin Fuyu. Luo Tianjin said, "As everyone knows, if I don't make friends with Ren Wuya, Jin Fuyu will pull him under his command." When the time comes, won't we have another rival?"

"But the truth is that you and Ren Wuya are in cahoots, and Jin Fuyu is not. Qingfeng looked ashamed and indignant as if he hated iron but could not become steel, and said, "Will the heroes of the world listen to your explanation? Ren Wuya is an old fox, how can he be used by you? If you join forces with him, it is tantamount to conspiring with a tiger and setting himself on fire." ”

"I ......"

"And!" Qingfeng changed his words and said, "You and the Young Qin King of the Western Regions secretly joined forces to recruit a group of masters from the Western Regions to make waves in the Central Plains. A few months ago, the four great families, Qingcheng, and Emei were attacked and harassed one after another, and it was this group of masters of the Western Regions who did it, wasn't it?"

"This ......" Luo Tianjin was shocked and said in surprise, "How does Dad know?"

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it!" Qingfeng snorted angrily, and instead took out a nameless whistleblower letter from his sleeve, threw it in front of Luo Tianjin, and said in a deep voice, "This whistleblower letter clearly writes about your collusion with Ren Wuya and King Shaoqin in secret, and you still don't admit it?"

"Where did this letter come from?"

"Someone put it in my room. Qingfeng said, "Not only me, but also in the rooms of the abbot of Xuanming, the head of Yin, the head of Zhongli, and even all the heads and heads of families who came to Huashan to participate in the martial arts conference, there are exactly the same whistleblower letters. Tianjin, now do you understand why the old man asked you to clean yourself, and the top priority is to save your reputation?"

"Conspiracy!" Luo Tianjin said angrily, "Someone deliberately set a trap to treat me unkindly. ”

"Do you think that the battle for the leader of the martial arts alliance is just a competition on the sword platform?" Qing Feng asked, "Wrong! This battle for the leader of the alliance has already kicked off a few months ago, and the undercurrent struggle hidden under the sword platform by all parties is far more dangerous, more cruel, and more unscrupulous than the life-and-death battle on the sword platform!"

......
