Chapter 7: Undercurrents
"What are your plans in the future?" Bai Jing Gongzi's sudden question made Lin Daqi stunned for a moment.
It can be seen that Bai Jing Gongzi is quite apologetic to Lin Daqi.
After a period of silence, Lin Daqifang wrote lightly: "Go to Saibei to join the army and kill the barbarians." ”
"You're not going to work this way. I saw that Li Yuanyuan shook his head slowly and said: "Even on the way from here to the Beiban, there are many mountains, how can you deal with those thieves in the mountains alone? Also, you are not sent to the Beiban by the regular army, and General Yue may not be able to ask you." ”
Lin Daqi frowned and said nothing. Maybe at this moment he is thinking of another way out, or go to the government to join the army first, but in that case, he doesn't know that Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey can go to Saibei to do border defense.
Bai Jing Gongzi saw Lin Daqi's hesitation, and continued: "I see that your physical strength is okay, and your body should be good." In this way, you and I will go to Zhuangyuan Mountain and become a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect. Wait for the group of disciples who will rush to Saibei to assist General Yue Muwu in the battle in a year later to be selected, and I will arrange for you to go in." ”
After listening to Bai Jinggongzi's words, Lin Daqi suddenly raised his head and looked at this Bai Jing Gongzi suspiciously.
Bai Jing Gongzi said embarrassedly: "That's right, I am a member of the Divine Sword Sect." And I still have some weight in speaking inside the Excalibur Gate. If you can learn swordsmanship for a year and then go into battle to kill the enemy, it is better than risking to lose yourself. ”
After a period of silence, Lin Daqi said coldly: "Don't go." ”
"Huh?" Bai Jing Gongzi's hot face was pressed against the cold buttocks, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why?"
Lin Daqi said: "After I send my grandfather back to Lingnan, I will figure out my own way." ”
"It's simple. Bai Jing Gongzi said: "In this way, I will accompany you to Lingnan and bury the old man, and then it will not be too late for you to go to Zhuangyuan Mountain with me." ”
Lin Daqi looked at Bai Jing Gongzi suspiciously, and Bai Jing Gongzi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I said you can enter, you can enter." ”
......
The Proud Northern Greatness General's Mansion.
In the general's mansion, Tuoba Rui was closing his eyes in the living room. He is tall and burly, but he is just over fifty years old, and he still can't withstand the invasion of time, his hair has long been gray, and he was born with a pair of fox-like eyes and a slightly chubby face, which is a bit of a conflict with his figure.
Outside the door, there was the sound of footsteps that were gradually expanding. It was his son Tuoba Gong who returned.
Tuoba Rui slowly opened his eyes, he had been fighting outside all the year round, and he had received the emperor's holy decree to return to the court last month, and he had been at home for a long time, and he couldn't help but look a little lazy.
"Father. As soon as Tuoba Gong came in, he clenched his hands into fists and lowered his head slightly, waiting for Tuoba Rui to speak.
Tuoba Rui looked at his son, who was also tall, but more handsome and dashing than himself, and liked it very much. His originally expressionless eyes also revealed some gentle information.
I saw him bow his head slightly, and asked, "Your Majesty's Praetorian Guard, have you trained them all?"
"Yes. ”
Tuoba Rui continued: "Since you have all trained, then you will rest for three days, and then set off for the Central Plains in three days, from the Central Plains to the south, to the Nanhai Sword Sect to fight with Wang Kaishan for your father." ”
Tuoba Gong listened, raised his head and frowned and asked, "But that is the first sword king of the Central Plains to open the mountain?"
"Exactly. Tuoba Rui nodded, and continued: "The military strength of the Central Plains Imperial Court is weak, and the Central Plains Martial Arts has not yet recovered after the battle sixty years ago. Nowadays, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings. That Wang Kaishan thought that he was invincible in the Central Plains, so he could challenge his father, and he just received his war letter the day before yesterday. My father is old and doesn't want to move, so I just take this opportunity to let you go to the Central Plains to have a look. ”
"Yes!" Tuoba Gong had no doubts, in his opinion, as long as there was a cause and effect in the matter, and it was ordered by his father, Tuoba Gong would never refuse.
And Tuoba Rui is not sure whether Tuoba Gong can win this competition, after all, although he doesn't look down on this Wang Kaishan, but he is also nearly 30 years older than Tuoba Gong, and 30 years of experience, whether in terms of experience or true qi, can make two ordinary people like heaven and earth.
Tuoba Rui's real purpose, in addition to hoping that Tuoba Gong can have a long insight, actually has the meaning of showing weakness to the Central Plains martial arts. There is no doubt that the show of weakness here is a false sign of weakness, the purpose is to let the people of the Central Plains Martial Arts relax their vigilance, and then wait for their army to go south, and by the way, annihilate the Central Plains Martial Arts in one fell swoop, this is Tuoba Rui's wishful thinking.
What Tuoba Rui is worried about is what all the major martial arts sects in the Central Plains are doing now, and they are always selecting talented ones from the juniors to train them.
"In addition, before you go south, you will go to the Shenjian Gate of Zhuangyuan Mountain for your father, and hand over this letter to the head of the Shenjian Gate. Let's just say that your grandfather Tuoba Hong is going to hand it over to the Sword Saint Xiao Lang. ”
Tuoba Gong took the letter and carefully tucked it into his arms.
Tuoba Rui continued: "You can pass through the no-man's land of the desert in the west and enter the Xizhou of the Central Plains, and when you get to Xizhou, you will know where to go in these two places. ”
......
Nanhai Palace.
There is no king in the South China Sea, and the king here is Wang Kaishan.
Wang Kaishan is also fifty years old and in the prime of life. His hair is vigorous, the contours of his face are covered by hair, and his face looks a little like a monkey, which has a different kind of majesty. Its gaze is sharp, and the aura of slaughter is fully revealed.
He became famous at the age of twenty-five, and he was considered a teenage genius. In the 30 years since the founding of the Nanhai Sword Sect, there are only more than 60 disciples, among which there are 18 famous people, known as the eighteen sons of the South China Sea.
Wang Kaishan has always believed that the disciples should find spirituality, and his sword skills are not easy to spread. Therefore, the success rate of its apprentices is very high.
Coming here today, the official biggest official in the South China Sea, Guo Liang, the Son of Heaven in Nanhai Prefecture.
This Guo Liang is full of poetry and books, and his figure is relatively thin, but it may be because of his perennial dealings with Wang Kaishan, and his overall temperament is not like a scholar, and he always walks sonorously and powerfully.
"Guo Xingsi, long time no see. Although Wang Kaishan is arrogant on weekdays and has a poor reputation in the rivers and lakes martial arts, he knows that under the whole world, it is not the truth of the king's land. Therefore, it is still necessary to get closer to the officials of the imperial court.
Guo Liang also greeted him with a smile and greeted: "Master Wang, how are you doing lately?"
"Very good, in good spirits!" Wang Kaishan patted his chest, and then pulled Guo Liang to the tea table and sat down.
After Guo Liang's greetings, he went straight to the point and asked, "Master Wang, is there a reply from Saibei?"
"Reply. Wang Kaishan habitually stroked his beard and said, "That's not true." However, I expected that Tuoba Rui was arrogant, and with me to fight, he would not be able to leave, and he would also send a high-ranking disciple. Guo Xingsi, you just have to be patient and wait. ”
"Hmm. Guo Liang nodded slightly, frowned slightly, approached Wang Kaishan and asked, "Master Wang, are you sure?"
Wang Kaishan was stunned for a moment, and said with a bold smile: "Guo Xingsi, it's okay to rest assured." This time, the court has given me convenience, and I will definitely give an explanation to the court. We who practice martial arts pay the most attention to courtesy. ”
