Weichu Mansion, Ailao Mountain.

Dali fell, the Duan family fell, and Longxiang Mountain lost its biggest support.

Dali has just experienced a war, and now it is in the bleak season when all industries are in ruin and people's livelihood is withering, and Longxiang Mountain, which is in the center of the whirlpool, is also inevitably affected.

To this day, there are still tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers and horses stationed in Dali, eyeing the remnants of all walks of life.

After Yun Chasing the Moon returned to Longxiang Mountain, he sent people to pay tribute to the Mongolian commander Wuliang Hetai five times and three times, wanting to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix and find a new backer for Longxiang Mountain.

However, let Yun Chasing the Moon show favor in every way, Wuliang Hetai was unmoved. Not only did they return the gifts they had sent in their original form, but they also turned away the disciples who gave the gifts.

Wuliang Hetai's attitude towards Longxiang Mountain is very strange, and he neither leads troops to fight nor gets close to it. This kind of state of imminent detachment, as well as the indifference of not being close to people, all made Yun Chasing Moon feel anxious.

Yun Chaiyue has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he boasts of reading countless people, but it is the first time he has encountered such an elusive character as Wuliang Hetai.

On the first day of October, early in the morning. All the disciples gathered in Da Moyan to hold a sacrificial ceremony, but Yun Chaiyue knelt alone in the Dragon Elephant Ancestral Hall to reflect on his own mistakes.

An hour later, Si Wudao came to the Dragon Elephant Ancestral Hall, looking at the cloud chasing the moon who was kneeling on the ground, like a clay sculpture, and couldn't help but let out a silent sigh in his mouth.

Si Wudao didn't bother, just stood aside silently, waiting for Yun Chaiyue to wake up from his contemplation.

"Ahem!"

After being silent for a long time, Yun Chaiyue suddenly let out a few coughs. Immediately afterward, his body trembled slightly, he slowly got up, and his expression was focused on the incense and worship, and then he slowly turned around, tugging at his robe with both hands, and asked casually, "Went back again?"

Hearing this, Si Wudao couldn't help but look embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Wuliang Hetai doesn't eat soft and hard, and the Sprinkle family has already made it clear to him the relationship between Longxiang Mountain and Chifengling, but he ...... They still ignore us. ”

"Two possibilities. Yun Chasing the Moon walked to the door, raised his eyes to look at the bright sun with layers of halos, and said faintly, "First, this person has an arrogant temperament and disdains to be with us. Second, he knew about Huashan, so he deliberately snubbed us and gave us a bad breath for Sui Zuo and even the Mongolian court. In other words, he wants to give us a dismount. ”

Si Wudao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If he just wants to shock us, it doesn't matter. But if he has ulterior motives, wouldn't Longxiang Mountain be in danger? If Wuliang Hetai is happy, he will let us go, and if he is not happy, he will ......."

As for this, Si Wudao didn't dare to continue.

"I have checked the details of Wuliang Hetai, and this person is far from being comparable to Sui Zuo and his ilk. He is a disciple of the general. His father, Subutai, was the founder of the country, one of Genghis Khan's "four mastiffs", and he was in a high position in Mongolia. Yun Chaiyue sighed, "Such a person, don't say that he killed a small Dragon Elephant Mountain, even if he cut it first and then beheaded the Duan family in Dali, the Mongolian Great Khan would only complain at most, and there would never be too much punishment." ”

Si Wudao suddenly realized: "This person is so powerful, no wonder the Holy Lord wants to make friends with him repeatedly. ”

"If you can climb the big tree of Wuliang Hetai, Longxiang Mountain will definitely have a bright future. ”

"It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless. Si Wudao's eyes were full of loss, and he proposed, "According to the foolish opinion of the Sprinkler family, we should leave Dali as soon as possible, go to the Central Plains to find another feng shui treasure land, and rebuild Longxiang Mountain." ”

"No, it's too risky!" Yun Chaiyue shook his head and said, "Right now, we and the Mongols don't seem to have a good water in the well, but as long as there is a hint of wind and grass, what awaits us is most likely a strong bow and a strong crossbow and an iron horse scimitar." Moreover, the century-old foundation of Longxiang Mountain is all in Ailao Mountain, so how easy is it to move the family?"

"That'...... How are we good?"

"For now, we can only wait. ”

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wuliang Hetai doesn't take us seriously at all. Yun Chaiyue said, "That's right, the more he despises us, the safer we are." Now, the Mongol court did not slaughter the Duan family, but put Duan Xingzhi back in Dali and continued to take charge of the old department. It's definitely a good thing for us. ”

"What does the Holy Lord mean...... With Duan Xingzhi's blessing, Longxiang Mountain can be safe and sound?"

"Our relationship with the Duan family is far more reliable than that of the Mongols. Yun Chaiyue muttered, "Since the Great Khan of Mongolia is particularly generous to Duan Xingzhi, it is enough to show that he has implemented a 'gentle' policy towards Dali. In this case, Wuliang Hetai should not be stationed for too long, maybe...... Soon he will return north. Even if we don't leave, with Duan Xingzhi as a guarantor, it is expected that Wuliang Hetai will not be difficult for us. ”

"With the support of the Mongolian Great Khan, Duan Xingzhi became more and more at ease, even more relaxed than being the 'Emperor of Dali' in the past. Si Wudao said with a smile, "To this day, there are still many tribes in Dali who are unwilling to submit to it, Duan Xingzhi was ordered to quell the rebellion, and there will definitely be a request for us." Thinking like this, he didn't dare to tear his face with us. ”

"That's it!" Yun Chaiyue seemed to be very tired, and waved his hand lazily, "The affairs of the government and the opposition, as outsiders, it is inconvenient for us to interfere, and we can't interfere, so let's talk about the two things in front of us!

"Back to the Holy Lord, the new Dragon Elephant List has been released, but we can't be sure about some of the rankings, and we still need to make a decision. Si Wudao replied in an orderly manner, "Second, regarding Luo Tianjin's request for the roster of people, Tang Xuan has followed the Holy Lord's instructions and half-truthfully copied a copy and sent it to the Xianwang Mansion. ”

"Just send it. Yun Chaiyue muttered, "If you don't send it stubbornly, I'm afraid that Patriarch Teng and Rou'er won't spare me." After all, the Teng patriarch once vouched for me in front of the world, and my every move was related to the reputation of the Teng clan, so some things had to be put up with for the time being. ”

"The Holy Lord has always been benevolent and righteous, but people in the world have always misunderstood you. ”

"How are the people in the world? I don't care at all, I only care......" Yun Chaiyue stopped talking, sighed lightly, and said, "How is the new list ranked?"

The top three are still Wu Shuang, Su He, and Lu Tingxiang. Si Wudao didn't dare to ask more, and answered truthfully, "But from the fourth place...... We have some differences. Especially the rankings of Liu Xunyi, Tang Afu, and Qin Ku are really ......"

Qin Ku ranked fourth, and Liu Xunyi ranked fifth. Yun Chaiyue said without thinking, "I still remember the scene of Qin Ku slashing the 'lame knifeman' with a thousand knives at the martial arts conference. Although Liu Xunyi can defeat you, it is still slightly inferior to Qin Ku's battle to torture and kill Qin Tianjiu. As for Tang Afu, he has become very low-key in the past two years, let's just rank seventh!"

"Seventh place?" Si Wudao said in surprise, "If the 'Ruthless Swordsman' is ranked seventh, who can be ranked sixth?"

"Twenty-four cities in Mobei, Long Yu!" Yun Chaiyue sneered, "This person is a madman, Ru Mao drinks blood, and has a murderous nature. I have been walking outside the plug before, and I have only emerged in the Central Plains in the past two years. ”

"I've heard a little about this person, and it is said that he and Liu Xunyi have fought at the Tianlong Inn......"

"After seventy rounds, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku teamed up and failed to win him. Yun Chasing Yue added, "What's even more interesting is that Long Yu is also followed by a monster. That guy is huge and powerful. It is rumored that at the Tianlong Inn that day, Liu Xunyi, Qin Ku, and Murong Bai struck together, but they were still forced back by the monster with a two-plate giant axe. This monster and the dragon feather are inseparable, if the two of them are regarded as one person, one attack and one defense, one static and one moving, one virtual and one real, I am afraid that even the position at the top of the dragon elephant list will have to be reconsidered. Therefore, the dragon feather is ranked in sixth place...... Only low and not high. ”

In this way, the eighth place is the Shaolin warrior monk, Wu Chan. Si Wudao answered, "The ninth place is Ding Qinghong, as for the tenth candidate......"

"The tenth place on the dragon elephant list is reserved for Li Haitang. Yun Chasing Yue said faintly, "He is Tang Xuan's disciple, and he has been following Tang Xuan all these years, so outsiders know very little about him. During this trip to Huashan, I found that this son's comprehension of hidden weapons had faintly overwhelmed Tang Xuan. In particular, the attainment of archery is rare in the rivers and lakes, and it is unparalleled in the world. ”

"Although Li Haitang is excellent in archery, he is only afraid of ...... when he fights people head-on."

"As long as you can defeat the enemy, archery is no different from fisting, palming, swords, and marksmanship. Yun Chaiyue shook his head and said, "Killing people thousands of miles away, without a shadow and invisible." It is far more clever than killing a thousand enemies and inflicting eight hundred self-inflicted damage. Wu Chan can rank eighth because of his strong internal strength, and Li Haitang can also rank tenth on the dragon elephant list with his advanced archery. ”

"Yes. ”

Yun Chaiyue's words were reasonable, Si Wudao pondered for a while, and happily accepted the order.

"One more thing. Yun Chaiyue's eyes flickered, and she said thoughtfully, "Ping'er apprenticed to the Valley of Despair, presumably Rou'er has a clear heart for their relationship. At the martial arts conference, Liu Xunyi also seemed to have a sense of acquaintance with Ping'er, which was ...... Not a good thing. ”

"The Holy Lord is worried that Lord Xiao Gu and Liu Xunyi recognize each other?"

"I'm not trying to stop them from recognizing each other, but ...... The time has not yet come. Yun Chaiyue said secretively, "If they let their mother and son recognize each other too early, the plan I have been brewing for many years will be completely frustrated." ”

"The Lord means ......"

"Once Liu Xunyi knows his true relationship with Luo Tianjin, you say...... Can he still be ruthless to Luo Tianjin?" Yun Chaiyue asked rhetorically, "Liu Xunyi is a traitor planted by the imperial court beside Luo Tianjin, and now that the Mongolian army is imminent to go south, the imperial court will definitely have a showdown with Luo Tianjin as soon as possible." At that time, Liu Xunyi, as a traitor, will inevitably be incompatible with Luo Tianjin. And I'm ...... It is to watch their father and son turn against each other. Only in this way can I get rid of the hatred in my heart. Moreover, Liu Xunyi married Luo Ningyu, and the half-brother and sister married in the church, which was even more contrary to human ethics, which was enough to make Luo Tianjin regret it and lose his reputation. ”

"If you want to do this, you must not let Liu Xunyi and Xiao Gu Lord recognize each other. Si Wudao said firmly, "Otherwise, with the person of Lord Xiao Gu, even if she hates Luo Tianjin, she will definitely not let her son make a big mistake." ”

"Liu Xunyi and Luo Ningyu are about to get married, and at this critical moment, there must be no negligence. "Cloud chasing the moon and yin said, "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I decided to go to the Central Plains in person, in case Liu Xunyi and the Valley of Despair have any more contact." ”
