Chapter 92: Wudang Xingxu
Receiving King Chen's invitation, Dongfang Tao was not surprised, for his eldest brother, Dongfang Tao is confident that he knows him better than anyone else, if Dongfang escapes Jianglong, then his eldest brother is a python in the stream, ruthless and vicious, as long as he is given the opportunity, he will bite the enemy's lifeblood and not let go.
Seeing that His Royal Highness looked indifferent, Cao Zhi reminded softly, "Your Highness, the arrow shoots the first bird, now that Liu Ran has arrived at Wudang Mountain, King Chen pulls you up at this time, and his subordinates always feel that there is something wrong with this, in case he wants to use His Highness's prestige to cause trouble, there is a grudge between you and King Heng, but it is not easy for us." ”
After thinking for a while, Dongfang Tao smiled thoughtfully, "In this case, you go to reply to Tao Li on my behalf and let him tell the boss, there is no need to meet and discuss in detail, if he really has the heart to participate in this matter, let him climb the mountain first, and when he arrives at the Taixu Palace, this king will naturally not fall." ”
Hearing Dongfang Tao's arrangement, Cao Zhi secretly said for a second, then left with his fists in his hands, and went to Tao Li to discuss the matter, while Dongfang Tao smiled and picked up the cup of herbal tea on the table, and muttered, "Compared with me Dongfang Tao, you Dongfang Wei is more hypocritical!"
When Tao Li conveyed Dongfang Tao's meaning to Dongfang Wei, Dongfang Wei almost laughed, in this plan against Dongfang Yi, it was clear that King Yi was the protagonist, and he Dongfang Wei was a bystander, calling him to climb the mountain together just to help the other party create momentum, and to eliminate the influence of Liu Ran and others before Dongfang Yi arrived at Wudang Mountain, otherwise with only a Hong Yu who could not be fully trusted, what qualifications did Dongfang Tao have to compete with Dongfang Yi in Wudang Mountain.
So, Dongfang Wei sneered, "Go and pass a word for me again, tell the fifth child, there is only one chance, it's better to be late than nothing, instead of believing in an elusive outsider, why don't you try to believe in your eldest brother, our current enemy is not the other party or Xiao Jiu, but the chess player in the palace who is in charge of the chessboard!"
At the mention of that person, Tao Li's expression was awe-inspiring, and he sighed and persuaded, "Your Highness is cautious, disaster comes from the mouth, this is not our Chen Wangfu, be careful that the wall has ears!"
Dongfang Wei smiled indifferently, "It's not only now that people are peeping at this king, and do you really think that King Chen's mansion is an impregnable wall?" I can tell you, our sons, I'm afraid that except for Xiao Jiu, everyone has one or several shadow guards in the mansion, otherwise how could he sit on that chair so peacefully!"
"But, Your Highness..."
Waving his hand to interrupt Tao Li's words, Dongfang Wei turned around, his eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he said in a deep voice, "There is still a year before Xiao Jiu returns to Beijing, and after the martial arts conference, Xiao Jiu will definitely go to Mobei Camp to see my second uncle, and no one dares to make a move on him, so we only have this chance to turn over, as long as Xiao Jiu wants to cut off his beard, his father will definitely not ignore this king as before." And the fifth also knows the power of Xiao Jiu after returning to Beijing, in the past two years, Ren Yao of the Ren family and Ma Rong of the Ma family are not as prodigal and frolicking as before, according to the news from the palace, the Ma family has written to Luan Zhangdian, intending to stuff Ma Rong into the Jiucheng camp, think about it, why did Ma Rong enter the Jiucheng camp that controls the security of Gyeonggi? And that Ren Yao, don't look at him as the heir of the Ren family's house, this kid's intelligence and ability are not weaker than Xiao Jiu, the Hengwang Party has not yet declined, and the reason for this is on him, it's just that this kid knows how to protect himself and doesn't like to come out!"
Thinking of the former fourth prince of the capital, Tao Li took a deep breath, and then nodded with a straight face, "My subordinates understand, I'll go to see the king." ”
Chong waved his hand at his subordinates who already understood, signaling the other party to hurry up, and then Dongfang Wei looked out the window to practice the breeze, and muttered to himself, "Old Five, sometimes I am really curious about what you are thinking, who is not good, but I chose Xiao Jiu and forced him to this road." ”
On the other side, Shangguan Qiuyan and Zhao Zhen, who laid down the fishing net, were sitting in Xuxue Building drinking tea at this time, and King Chen and King Yu rushed to Wudang Mountain, they naturally knew it for a long time, but everyone's position was clear, there was no need to meet at all, and the grievances and grievances of the year also disappeared with the poisoning of the tea shed, and they would only be enemies when they met in the future.
However, what made Zhao Zhen restless was that he didn't expect Shangguan Qiuyan to make an appointment today with Liu Ran's master and apprentice, looking at Dongfang Yue, who was as cold as ice, Zhao Zhen didn't dare to say hello to the other party several times, and even when Liu Ran asked him about his current situation, he didn't know what to say for a long time. ”
Because of this sentence, Dongfang Yue's pretty face became more and more cold, and the flickering in her beautiful eyes was full of cold, so cold that Zhao Zhen even needed two hands to serve tea.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was so unproductive, Shangguan Qiuyan also admired Dongfang Yue so much, so she diverted the topic and said, "How is it? What does the Xingxu Dao Chief say? Will Wudang Mountain help me and others deal with that group of villains?"
patted Dongfang Yue's arm and motioned for her to sit down first and finish the matter, and then Liu Ran said in a deep voice, "Uncle Xingxu said that there is no problem, but he hopes that this matter can be handled after His Royal Highness King Heng arrives." ”
Shangguan Qiuyan said suspiciously: "Wait for the little guy to do it? What does Xingxu Dao Master mean by this? Did you tell him the identity of those people? Or did he know something?"
Liu Ran shook his head and said, I didn't say anything about the relationship between this group of people and His Royal Highness King Heng, Uncle Xingxu didn't look like he knew about it, he felt that the undercurrent of this martial arts conference was surging, and he needed someone who could be calmed down, you want to get the leader of the martial arts alliance, His Royal Highness King Heng wanted to use this to expand his power, King Chen wanted to watch the fire from across the river, King Heng wanted to destroy His Royal Highness King Heng's plan, and I also wanted to transfer out the group of people back then, needless to say, the rest of the people were either for fame or profit, at this time they suddenly appeared, Wudang Mountain as the host, if there is no full reason, just by your words and me, they are not afraid of being accused by fellow martial artists?”
Knowing the reason, Shangguan Qiuyan fell into contemplation, Xingxu's interest in Dongfang Yi, she knew it last year, but she didn't expect Xingxu to value each other so much, you must know that there are two princes under Wudang Mountain at this moment, and each of them is not weaker than Dongfang Yi, Xingxu's choice of Dongfang Yi as a façade is tantamount to offending King Chen and King E, he is not afraid of these two coming to Wudang Mountain for trouble?
With worry, Shangguan Qiuyan said in a condensed voice, "But you also know the identity of the little guy, he is still in exile now, in case King Chen and King Yi jump out to stop it, Wudang Mountain's position is not easy to say, after all, those two are now the princes of the emperor's heart." ”
Facing Shangguan Qiuyan's worries, Dongfang Yue took over on the side, "Leave this matter to me, and I will send a message to Wudang Mountain as a princess later, I don't believe that the eldest brother and the fifth brother dare to clash with me head-on." ”
At this time, Zhao Zhen suddenly whispered, "In the face of absolute interests, you are afraid that you can't stop them, even if there is a queen mother..."
Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to finish speaking, Dongfang Yueqiao raised her eyebrows, stared at Zhao Zhen and said, "Are you questioning my words?"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly waved his hand to silence him, and Chu Wuji, who was watching, was full of fear on the side, he knew very well what kind of person Zhao Zhen was, but he didn't expect that there would be a woman who could scare Zhao Zhen into such virtue.
Seeing this, Shangguan Qiuyan waved her hand to interrupt the conversation between the two, and said, "With Yue'er here, even if you can't stop the two of them, it will make them a little jealous." But there is one thing you don't know if you have thought about, what should Zhang Yuqi and Hong Yu do? Including my grandfather, two of the three were instructed by the imperial court, and as for what the emperor wants to do, none of us know, and Hong Yu is the person of the emperor, what if they stop us? Standing on the opposite side of the imperial court, my grandfather may not be able to help us!"
Hearing Shangguan Qiuyan's words, everyone's faces were slightly solemn, in front of the behemoth of the imperial court, the so-called great master was just a koi in the lake, and there was no comparison at all.
But without the assistance of Wudang Mountain, the power in Liu Ran's hands may not be able to, and other sects can't believe it, who knows if they will turn against each other when they see the opportunity to pull the sect master off the horse.
After a long time, Liu Ran sighed and said, "Then we can only look at the prestige of His Royal Highness King Heng, if he can resist the alliance of King Chen and King Heng, Zhang Yuqi and Shangguan Tieying may not come forward to interfere, and after all, there are others standing behind His Royal Highness King Heng." ”
Shangguan Qiuyan echoed: "I can only leave this matter to the little guy!"
Just as a few people were discussing how to deal with the group of sneaky people with unknown intentions, the matter was also being discussed in the Taixu Palace on Wudang Mountain.
As the head of Wudang Mountain, Xingxu can be said to be the oldest of the four major avenues, and Liu Yu in front of Jiazi is the little junior disciple taught by Xingxu.
"If what Liu Yatou said is true, we Wudang Mountain will have the responsibility to eliminate evil for Wulin, don't care what is involved behind this matter, in short, our Wudang Mountain cultivators must be worthy of their own conscience. ”
Don't look at Xingxu, he always looks like a fairy, but his temper is the same as that of the previous master of the Yuxu faction, that is, no matter what the reason is inside, the person I fancie, I have a reason to help, regardless of whether the other party is an emperor or a beggar.
Pouring a cup of bitter tea for Xingxu, Jiang Shi, Xingxu's eldest apprentice, reminded with a smile, "Master's determination to eliminate demons and defend the Dao, the apprentice must support it, but the two under the mountain are not good at stubble, and Mr. Hong and Mr. Zhang, who have already gone up the mountain, are you looking for an opportunity to explore Mr. Zhang's tone in this matter?"
Glaring at his eldest apprentice angrily, Xingxu picked up the tea and said disdainfully, "Are you my apprentice or not, why are you so cowardly? Your little uncle just entered the holy realm because he never worried about the future, how can he teach your kid's generation to live worse and worse!"
Glancing at the expressions of the junior disciples around him, Jiang Shi dejectedly defended, "If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you are an old man who can easily be a shopkeeper, apprentice, don't I still have to think about the disciples on the mountain?
Who knew that this was Xingxu, who suddenly clapped his hands and said in surprise, "I understand!"
