Chapter 253: Exhausted
In the evening, thirty miles outside Xijing Mansion, Duanjiabao.
Under Duan Tianhong's warm hospitality, the people of the Xianwang Mansion and the six major sects were all full of wine and food, and returned happy.
Compared with the big enemy of Yingtianlou, be cautious. Tonight's Duanjiabao can be called a peaceful world, prodigal. Relying on a group of masters led by Luo Tianjin and Xuanming Abbot, the Xianwang Mansion and the disciples of the six major sects are all confident and indomitable.
What's more, if you want to level the four great families of Jinjianwu and Wulin in one go, people block and kill, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and take the opportunity to reshuffle the rivers and lakes. In this regard, most people just laughed it off, neither seconded nor refuted, obviously wanting to see the situation tomorrow first, and then take advantage of the trend.
The area of Hexi is vast and sparsely populated, and the big families here are all Tianlian Qianmo, covering an area of 10,000 hectares.
The same is true of Duanjiabao, in addition to the main courtyard where the Duan family's relatives live, within a radius of ten miles, there are hundreds of other courtyards and houses, which are enough to accommodate more than 1,000 people.
At night, the drunken Luo Tianjin led the people back to their residence. At this moment, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin from Huazhou have been waiting for a long time.
Now, Liu Xunyi is more and more convinced that the matter of Chenzhou is a secret trick made by the Mongols, but he suffers from no real evidence, so he is anxious and worried.
The prime minister has a fate, Liu Xunyi doesn't dare to disobey, but at the moment, Granny Peach Blossom and Tang Afu are unwilling to help him testify, Liu Xunyi pondered and meditated along the way, and finally there was only one last way, that is, to beg Luo Tianjin in person to persuade him to come out tomorrow to reconcile and resolve the crisis.
"Xunyi, you came one step late, and you didn't see the appearance of the disciples of the various factions who were angry with each other. Haha......"
In the room, Lin Fang looked for clothes from Liu with great interest, recounted all kinds of interesting things that had just happened at the banquet, and laughed: "Especially the abbot of Shaolin Xuanming, he has always been old and compassionate, and it is really rare to be so indignant tonight." ”
On the side, Luo Ningyu poured tea for Luo Tianjin, and said: "Abbot Xuanming is a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha, and he can force him to use knives and guns, which shows that what the Qin family has done has aroused the anger of people and gods. ”
After that, her gaze inadvertently swept to Xun Qin, who was sitting next to Liu Xunyi, and her originally peaceful face became a little unnatural.
This time, in addition to Luo Ningyu and Lin Fangda, there were also Luo Hongxuan, Deng Changchuan, Murong Bai, Di Mo and others.
Luo Tianjin moistened his throat with tea and laughed softly: "Looking for clothes, you reacted promptly and handled the matter of Chenzhou properly." At the banquet just now, the heads of the six major sects all praised you, especially the left head of the Qingcheng faction. You saved Xu Zhun when you were in danger, and everyone in the Qingcheng faction was grateful to you. You're doing a good job!"
"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. Liu Xunyi's face was bitter, and he sighed, "Although I saved Xu Zhun, I couldn't save the ...... of the Chen Sect."
Hearing this, everyone present turned pale, and a faint sadness welled up in their eyes.
Chen Yong's death made the Xian Wangfu mourn.
At this time, Liu Xunyi, just like an ant on a hot pot, was impatient in his heart, and he had no time to sigh for a long time, so he asked instead: "Mansion Master, dare to ask about Brother Xu's injury...... How's the recovery?"
"Xu Heng's injuries are no longer serious. Deng Changchuan said, "You only need to recuperate for two months, and you can be cured." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi and Tang Cong secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and their hanging hearts were finally able to let go.
Liu Xunyi's expression was grim, and he tried again: "After Brother Xu woke up, did he say who ambushed them?"
"Dragon Feather. Murong Bai said, "According to Xu Heng's words, Chen Yong died under the sword of Long Yu, and he was also injured by Long Yu. ”
"Sure enough!"
Liu Xunyi's eyes changed, and a touch of ecstasy flashed in his heart, and he hurriedly responded: "We should have expected that this matter must have something to do with the Mongols. ”
As for this, he frowned again, and pretended to hesitate: "Now that the real culprit has been identified, I don't know the lord of the mansion...... Can you tell the truth to the six major sects?"
"Nope. Luo Hongxuan interjected, "Lord Liumen, things are far from being as simple as you think. Now, all factions in the martial arts have heard the wind and are ready to go. At this critical moment, without evidence and evidence, how can we be allowed to talk about it? What's more, the Shaolin matter comes first, and the Chenzhou matter comes later, even if it is to be resolved, we should first settle the grievances between Shaolin and the Qin family before discussing the Chenzhou matter. ”
"I expect that the eleven monks of Shaolin also died at the hands of the Mongols, not the Qin clan in Hexi. Liu Xunyi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly defended, "It seems to be two things, but it's actually one thing......"
"Looking for clothes. Before the words fell, Luo Tianjin waved his hand lightly and said, "Right now, in addition to what Xu Heng said, do you have any other evidence?"
"I ......" was questioned by Luo Tianjin in person, and Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be speechless for a while. He secretly bitterly said in his heart: "If I have other evidence, how can I wait until today?"
Now that the six major sects and the four great families have their own casualties, they all regard each other as mortal enemies, whether it is out of revenge or to save face, it is impossible for both sides to retreat easily.
At this time, Liu Xunyi wanted to turn the fight into a jade silk with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, which was a joke.
"Looking for clothes, I know your thoughts. Luo Tianjin said faintly, "You don't want to see us being used, and you don't want to see the Central Plains martial arts kill each other because of the Mongols' discord......
"Exactly!"
"Listen to what I'm saying. Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to speak, Luo Tianjin shook his head and said, "But have you ever thought that your kindness may have ulterior motives in the eyes of others? There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and since the various factions of the martial arts have already mobilized the people, they will not end hastily. Do you know that in the absence of ironclad evidence, your so-called 'truth' will not only turn the tide, but will intensify the contradictions, and even intensify them, making the situation more and more out of control. Even you, Liu Xunyi, will become the target of public criticism because of this. At that time, instead of being appreciated by others, you will be hated, despised, disliked, and even ...... Spit on!"
Regarding Luo Tianjin's remarks, Liu Xunyi never dared to agree. His eyebrows tightened, and he retorted urgently: "Mansion master, is face more important than life? Now that we have insight into the truth and know that the Mongols are the fault of everything, why don't we expose them, and why do we watch the rivers and lakes in turmoil and rivers of blood?'
"Even if they are wrong, the martial arts factions will never admit that they are wrong. Luo Tianjin said lightly, "There is a saying that you are right, in the rivers and lakes, sometimes face is indeed more important than life. ”
Liu Xunyi looked at Luo Tianjin in disbelief and asked hesitantly, "Could it be ...... That's why the lord of the mansion refuses to make the truth public?"
"Liu Xunyi, you are presumptuous!" Murong Bai's eyes sank, and he scolded, "What qualifications do you have to ask the mansion master? Don't forget your identity!
"That's it!"
Without waiting for the dazed Liu Xunyi to react, Luo Tianjin waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly: "Liu Xunyi's qualifications are still shallow, and there are some things that he has never experienced personally, so naturally he can't understand the gist of it." ”
Deng Changchuan smiled lightly: "What the lord of the mansion said is extremely true, young people are like this, they are strong-blooded, self-righteous, and they don't hit the south wall and don't look back." Hehe......"
Of course, Liu Xunyi understands that what Luo Tianjin and Deng Changchuan said is based on experience. Although he doesn't like to hear it, he knows how to survive in the rivers and lakes. But even so, Liu Xunyi still can't stop there.
It's not that Liu Xunyi is obsessed and self-righteous. Just because he shoulders a heavy responsibility, whether it is out of concern for the safety of the Central Plains or out of obedience to the prime minister's strict orders, he has to stand up and do everything possible to stop this turmoil.
After hesitating again and again, Liu Xunyi stubbornly pleaded again: "Xunyi is a nobody, people speak softly, and naturally no one believes what he says." But the lord of the mansion is the famous 'King of the Northern Sages', if you open your mouth, the martial arts heroes will definitely give you three points of affection, even if there is no conclusive evidence, it can make people convinced......"
"Needless to say!"
Faced with Liu Xunyi's hard work, Luo Tianjin interrupted impatiently: "I'm not hard-hearted, and I don't want to see the rivers and lakes fighting. But everything must be done with the word 'reason'. First, the root of the grievances between Shaolin and the Qin family lies in the tragic death of eleven monks. I am an outsider in this matter, and it is inconvenient to meddle, and it is unreasonable to meddle rashly. Therefore, this section can only be solved by themselves, and I will not take the initiative to intervene. Second, the matter of Chenzhou, the six major sects and the four major families have a vendetta against each other, this matter is related to my Xian Wangfu, I can not only raise the teacher to fight, but also come forward to reconcile, but no matter which choice it is, there must be evidence, and it must not be empty words. This is not only about the reputation of the Xianwang Mansion, but also about the life and death of us. Therefore, if you want me to come forward, find out the hard evidence that the Mongols are doing it. But if you can't produce evidence, not only will you not be able to intervene, but you will also die of this heart, so as not to set yourself on fire and ask for hardship. ”
"Lord, I ......"
"Let's go down!" Luo Tianjin no longer gave Liu Xunyi a chance to defend himself, and waved his hand tiredly, "Let's go down! I'm tired." ”
"But ......"
"Looking for clothes!" Lin Fangda hurriedly grabbed Liu Xunyi's arm and said in a low voice, "The mansion master has tolerated you again and again, and you don't want to get an inch." Annoyed the lord of the mansion, beware of being punished again, why don't you go out with me quickly?"
After that, Lin Fangda couldn't help but drag Liu Xunyi, who was full of unwillingness, and took him out of the room with coaxing and persuasion.
After leaving, Liu Xunyi's eyes were lonely, full of despair, and he was silent all the way, slowly moving forward like a wandering spirit.
Tang Cong followed silently behind him, and he didn't know how to comfort him at this time.
"Completely dead this time?"
Suddenly, Xun Qin's voice sounded in front of Liu Xunyi.
Liu Xunyi woke up suddenly, looked at Xun Qin who was close at hand with hesitant eyes, and said suspiciously: "In front of the mansion master just now, I argued with reason, why didn't you say a word?"
"Lord Luofu has made up his mind, even if I say the great heavens, it will be in vain. Xun Qin chuckled and said, "Only you are so clumsy, you can't see the attitude of the Lord of Luofu, you have to screw him again and again." ”
Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed: "How can I not know the mind of the mansion master? I was just...... It's just unwilling. ”
Tang Cong's eyes rolled and he interjected: "In any case, the mansion master still left a chance for the door master after all, and he didn't kill him with a rod. Hey hey ......"
"What chance?" Xun Qin raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Tomorrow is the second day of the eighth month, can we still find evidence that the Mongols are obstructing it tonight?" This kind of 'opportunity' is just a step given to each other by the lord of Luofu. ”
After that, Xun Qin pretended to be sympathetic and reached out to pat Liu Xunyi's shoulder, and said regretfully: "That's it! The Lord of Liumen has done his best, as for the result, he has to resign himself to fate......
"Boom!"
Before the words fell, in the courtyard opposite, there was a crisp sound of a copper basin falling to the ground.
Immediately afterward, there was a cacophony of tables and chairs toppling over. Then, there seemed to be a woman's whimper.
Liu Xunyi and the three of them were in high spirits, and they all looked at each other, and at the same time showed suspicion on their faces.
Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to step forward to find out, Tang Cong's hesitant muttering had quietly sounded in his ears.
"It seems that there is a ...... in that courtyard Miss?"
......
