Chapter Ninety-Four: Sword and Heart
Chen Mingye quietly looked at the shocked faces of everyone opposite, and the corners of his mouth were a smile.
Of course, he didn't know what the truth of the matter was, but that didn't prevent him from guessing and perfecting the narrative of the matter.
"Elders, although you have lost the ability to memorize and defend objects these days, you should still have a certain understanding of what has happened around you recently. Chen Mingye said with a smile.
As soon as the words came out, not only the patriarchs, but even the elders around them fell silent.
If this was really a premeditated plan, then the elders of the clan who had been taking power step by step recently suddenly became terrifying.
"Think about it, everyone," Chen Mingye shrugged his shoulders and walked to Patriarch Aoki's side, and said in a low voice, "Your old body is fine." ”
"Alas, I've worked hard for you, but this time, I'm afraid it's another catastrophe for the six clans. Patriarch Aoki sighed.
Chen Mingye frowned, since he entered the southern Xinjiang, the turmoil of the six clans could be said to have been continuous, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was really a mastermind behind all this who was secretly manipulating all this.
A densely woven net has been opened, first of all, he wants to use the hands of the six clans to pacify Anshun City, so as to pull out Haoming's main forces in southern Xinjiang, and once again want to set up a puppet to control the six clans, and completely grasp the initiative in southern Xinjiang.
It's really calculating, good planning.
The reason why Chen Mingye was able to cure the illness of the patriarch of the six clans was for no other reason, the spiritual power characteristics of the Xuanting Sutra, dealing with these mundane qi and blood miscellaneous diseases, prolonging life, and having its own wonders.
When he was in the Aoki clan, he had actually cured the illness of the Aoki patriarch, but because Elder Candlelight was on his side, he endured it, and this time he summoned the patriarchs of all clans to gather together, also to plan to attack together and avoid accidents.
At this moment, the patriarchs of the Black Wood and White Wood clans were silently caring for themselves, thinking that they already understood their respective situations in the clan.
"Looking back now, you are already the patriarchs who have been set up, I can help you stabilize the growth of the clan, and it doesn't seem too much to ask for a high position in the union of the six clans. Chen Mingye said with a smile.
There was silence for a while.
Mu Yi looked at the patriarchs of the various clans with gloomy faces in the field, and slowly spoke: "Since the Dao Elder said this, he must have a clever plan to come, please advise." ”
"Clever plan?" Chen Mingye raised his head and laughed, "In the face of absolute strength, what else do you need to do it?" ”
Mu Yiyi was speechless.
Chen Mingye sneered: "Still hesitating? The sun is setting, today is about to end, and if it is delayed until tomorrow, it will make people suspicious." ”
"Okay, just listen to the words of the Taoist, if we can calm the rebellion of these villains, the Taoist will have the merit of fixing the six clans, and we can also agree to the position we want. And in the end, it was the patriarch of the Blackwood Clan who stepped out, looked at the young man in front of him intently, and spoke.
He knows better than anyone that the current six clans can't help but be chaotic and change of internal friction again.
"This is a bit of courage, not limited to the short-sightedness of this remote southern Xinjiang. Chen Mingye smiled, he looked up at the sky, indeed, the sun was about to go down.
The golden sunset spreads on the ground, reflecting on the bodies of everyone present, pulling out a long reflection.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Chen Mingye naturally didn't follow to see how the six clans copied the bottom one by one, he just sat on the roof of a bamboo house in the station a little bored, looking up at the vast stars in the sky, waiting for time to pass.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "rustling" in his ears, and he turned his head to look, but it was Baimu Yanluo who jumped up and walked towards him lightly.
Chen Mingye pretended not to see it, and continued to look at the starry sky by himself.
"You just let them go, aren't you afraid that they will regret it?" Bai Mu Yanluo stared at him seriously with wide eyes, and his eyes were complicated.
The man in front of her who looked like a teenager was obviously the cause of everything, the devil who pushed her into the territory, but the most ridiculous thing was that he was also the only hope she had at present, the only benefactor who could save her from despair.
Chen Mingye didn't bother to pay attention to her.
"If everything really goes your way, what do you want me to do for you in that position?" asked Shiraki as she continued to look to herself.
"Integrate the six clans and hold the core power in your own hands, if you can do this, you will still have some use value in the future. Chen Mingye said lightly, "Don't forget, your life is still owed to me." ”
"Okay!" Bai Mu Yanluo smiled, her eyes shining slightly under the night sky, but her voice was as hoarse as ever, "You're not afraid of mastering these out of your control?"
"You?" Chen Mingye glanced at her casually, "I can give you everything, and naturally I can take it back." ”
Bai Mu Yanluo looked at him sitting condescendingly, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Okay, I hope you won't regret it then." ”
Chen Mingye smiled, this short-sighted woman was just a temporary puppet in his opinion, and everything was originally a foreshadowing for Cai Ling'er in the future.
Maybe even he didn't think that this woman who was desperate for the world would do something in the future.
The night is not long.
After Bai Mu Yanluo finished saying a few words to him, he left on his own, Chen Mingye silently breathed all night, and when he came down from the bamboo roof, he saw the maid of the Aoki clan named Xiaoyu leaning against the wall under the eaves and falling asleep.
The girl seemed to be sleeping very lightly, and he sensed his movements at once, and opened his sleepy eyes in a daze.
"Dao Chief, you come down. Xiao Yu seemed a little happy to see him.
"Are you waiting for me?" Chen Mingye was slightly stunned.
"Grandpa the patriarch said let me follow the Taoist here. Xiao Yu nodded, raised his wrist and wiped his big eyes, couldn't help yawning, the girl's face was slightly red, and she quickly glanced at Chen Mingye embarrassedly.
"Have you waited all night, why didn't you come up and tell me earlier?" Chen Mingye said helplessly as he looked at the girl's sleepy appearance.
"Hmm, Xiao Yu doesn't dare to disturb the cultivation of adults. The girl bowed her head shyly.
"Hey, that's it," Chen Mingye thought for a while and said, "Then you follow me, Patriarch Aoki should have been worried about the danger last night to make such an arrangement, and now that the overall situation has been decided, they will be back soon." ”
As soon as Chen Mingye's words fell, he heard the sound of footsteps shaking from a distance, and he squinted his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the entrance of the bamboo village.
"Look, here it is. Chen Mingye raised his finger and pointed.
Xiao Yu immediately turned his head, and sure enough, he saw many people from the six clans entering the field from outside, led by the patriarchs and elders of the various clans.
"Hee-hee, patriarch grandpa, they really succeeded. Xiao Yu clapped his palms vigorously, and his little face was slightly red from excitement.
"I expected it, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Chen Mingye shook his head with a smile and walked over to meet everyone.
The patriarchs of the six clans were still talking about something, but when they saw him coming, they immediately stopped talking tacitly and moved their eyes to him.
"Congratulations to all of you, and I'm glad to be able to come back as promised. Chen Mingye's eyes swept over everyone.
"As the Taoist chief said, the sudden attack came, those traitors did not react, and we easily took the initiative, and the next thing was to take advantage of the situation," Mu Yi looked at him deeply and said, "Now that the various clans have been decided, there is not much internal friction in the war, and it can be regarded as pulling out the hidden dangers in the clan, and it is a blessing in disguise, otherwise these people don't know what else they will do in the future." ”
Chen Mingye smiled: "Did those people give any clues to the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"We are still under strict interrogation, and there are no clues at the moment. Kiichi shook his head regretfully.
Chen Mingye frowned, planning and carrying out a rebellion of forces that would almost cover most of southern Xinjiang, but did not leave any clues, which was inconceivable in ordinary eyes.
Thinking about it, it is also necessary to start with the symptoms of several patriarchs of the six clans, there are no such Gu worms in southern Xinjiang, maybe it will be rewarding if you look farther. Chen Mingye rubbed his chin, and secretly had an idea in his heart.
"Dao Chief, now ......" Mu Yi was about to speak, but was simply interrupted by Chen Mingye.
He spread his hands at the old men opposite him, and smiled slightly, "Now, can you tell me your decision?"
"The people of Qingxuan are really extraordinary," the Black Wood Patriarch looked gloomy, but he said slowly, "Although the old man is unwilling, since this matter has been decided, it is not easy to overturn it. ”
The patriarchs of the other four clans all sighed and made it clear that they had no objection. The Hidden Wood clan has always been lonely, and with the patriarch newly deceased, this time an elder was also sent to express his opinion on staying out of the matter.
Chen Mingye's face was expressionless, and if he didn't object to himself, he agreed to his own conditions, these old foxes seemed to have suffered a loss, but in fact, they thought it through.
Since it is the joint covenant of the alliance of the six clans after all, for them, it may be a more substantial progress than before, and if the person in charge in the future is Aoki Sailing, after all, he is also a member of the six clans, and he will not be left in power. Coupled with the relationship with Qingxuan, there is always a benefit no matter what.
Chen Mingye doesn't care about their respective calculations in their hearts, all he wants now is the right and hole cards that he can control.
Mu Yi looked at everyone and said lightly: "In this case, as said before, the patriarchs of the six clans have no objections, and the old man is willing to give up this position." ”
Chen Mingye smiled: "Okay, in this way, Baimu Yanluo will be the successor, I will still make a reservation about the aura in the body of the patriarchs, if he is born in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless as a Qingxuan person." ”
The faces of the patriarchs of the various clans changed slightly, but no one objected, but they were silent and let out a slight sigh.
"I hope you can be faithful to what you say," Chen Mingye lightly swept over everyone present, and at the same time slowly pulled out the sword of the Southern Chu Zhenguo retrieved from Jiang Ying from the scabbard at his waist, "Or perhaps, this sword can make you more convinced." ”
There was another silence in the room.
All the patriarchs and elders looked at the long sword in Chen Mingye's hand with a look of surprise on their faces, and at the same time, a trace of greed flashed in the eyes of many people.
Above the sword body, the sun, moon and stars shone slightly in the early morning glow, exuding some kind of strange light.
"This is ......" The Xuanmu Clan Elder stretched out her fingers, trembling in disbelief.
"It's the National Sword of Nanchu Town, that's right. Patriarch Kuroki sighed slightly, closed his eyes, and only muttered, "Could it be that it is really destiny." ”
Chen Mingye danced lightly twice at will, and said calmly: "The sword is a dead thing, if you can be willing and save those messy thoughts, I think it will still have some effect." ”
"How can this sword be said to be a dead thing!" An elder of the Six Clans said excitedly, "You don't understand its significance to Southern Xinjiang at all!"
Chen Mingye smiled and put the sword back into its sheath: "The first time I took out this sword, you only have the desire to take it, and you have never thought of respecting." I have not used this sword, and I have been overwhelmed by the scheming, but I have been treated with your respect. Tell me, is it the sword that matters, or the person who holds the sword?"
Several old men on the other side, who were originally indignant because of his words, were suddenly silent.
Chen Mingye laughed heartily: "Kendo and swords, but they are just sharp weapons in their hands. ”
He turned around and wandered away in the eyes of everyone, leaving only a word hidden in his chest, and never spoke.
What really wants to subvert the world is my restless beating heart.
