Imperial Gardens.

At this day's meeting, Xiao Shifeng and Xiao Tiantu have aged a lot.

In autumn, the flowers and plants in the imperial garden are no longer luxuriant, but they are still well organized by the palace people.

Xiao Shifeng poured a cup of tea for Xiao Tiantu, looking at the autumn colors in the garden, he felt sad.

"Your Majesty, it's autumn, remember to wear more clothes to avoid the cold. Xiao Tiantu knew that Xiao Shifeng was feeling unhappy. He told Xiao Shifeng about the Shangguan Mansion, and as for Li Wu's son Li Muming, Xiao Tiantu only said that he had fled, and did not talk about the appearance of the mysterious master. Xiao Shifeng, like Xiao Tiantu, is not a cruel person, Li Wu can be regarded as having saved Xiao Shifeng's life, no matter how much he hates him, he will inevitably miss the old love. Xiao Shifeng waved his hand, meaning that he should not pursue it anymore and leave him a queen. This idea is consistent with Xiao Tiantu's decision.

Xiao Shifeng's speech was no longer as powerful as before, but a little more old-fashioned: "Tiantu, do you know why I have to raise that group of thieves on Tiger Wolf Mountain for so many years." ”

"Your Majesty is thoughtful and has his own plans. Xiao Tiantu always believed in Xiao Shifeng.

Xiao Shifeng bowed his head slightly and said: "Do you know that the leader of those dead soldiers is the widow of Qianzhongxing back then. ”

Xiao Tiantu smiled: "Your Majesty even knows this?"

Xiao Shifeng also smiled: "Back then, this generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses was majestic. If Emperor Xuan didn't have a dissension plan, I'm afraid it would still be unknown who would have the final say today. ”

Xiao Tiantu said: "Qianzhongxing is indeed a rare handsome talent, but there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and the fate of the tribute dynasty is about to end, and it is not something that he can recover by himself." ”

Xiao Shifeng closed his eyes, as if he fell into a memory: "There were many people who followed me back then, and now you are the only general you can trust." Whether it is Ren Hu or Li Wu, they are just relying on the trend, and as soon as the war disappears, they forget their original intentions. Even you and me, inevitably. ”

Xiao Tiantu knew what Xiao Shifeng was referring to: "The minister thinks that His Majesty has done the right thing." The martial arts of the rivers and lakes have always been a big move, and all dynasties have suppressed them. Even Emperor Gongwu back then also adopted the strategy of recruiting peace, and no one would like to raise a tiger by his side. ”

Xiao Shifeng sighed: "It's a pity that I was hesitant back then, but now it is all flourishing, and it is even more difficult to write." ”

Xiao Tiantu said: "Your Majesty, the minister still thinks that the pen is not as good as the sword, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes can only be solved by force." ”

Xiao Shifeng poured Xiao Tiantu another cup of hot tea: "In the past few years, I have been fortunate to you." ”

"Your Majesty's kindness, the minister has nothing to repay. Xiao Tiantu stretched out his hands to take the hot tea and drank it all again.

Xiao Shifeng said with relief: "When I first saw you, I was still a reckless young man with empty strength, and you often said that I was kind to you and brought you to this position where you can leave a name in history." As everyone knows, you are also kind to me, without you, I don't know how long there will be war in this world, and I don't know what identity I will enter the annals of history, is it a thief or a hero?"

"Your Majesty......"

Xiao Shifeng laughed heartily: "People say that the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain." In the long river of history, even the king is like a grain of sand, how can there be a winner and a loser. If you want me to say, leave this great achievement for future generations to judge, and you and I can truly go down in history. ”

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. ”

Taiqing Mountain Nine Xuanmen Zhenwu Palace.

The Zhenwu Hall closed the door of the hall, and there were only the four senior brothers of Xuanqing and the closed disciples in the hall.

Xuanqing said slowly: "Xuanwen Immortal is gone, and someone should inherit Xuanwen's lineage." Chen Nian, as a senior brother, should assist in the head of the sect, and in the future, the four generations of disciples under the Xuanwen throne will take you as the master, and you must fulfill your duties and continue the excellent tradition of the Xuanwen lineage. ”

The short, middle-aged man with a short beard stood up respectfully and said in a sonorous voice, "Yes." ”

Xuanqing nodded and said, "In addition, the matter of Xuanwen passing on his skills to Yang Feng, a disciple of the fourth generation, must not be passed on. Xuanwen passed on to him, it should be fate, everyone has a time when the oil runs out, and you don't have to worry about it. In the days to come, Jiuxuanmen should be in the same breath, and the division must not hurt the friendship of the senior brothers. ”

"Yes!" all the disciples in the hall said in unison.

Xuanqing did not tell everyone the secret of Xuanwen's demonization, but only said that he realized that he was about to die as an immortal, so he passed on his life's internal strength to Yang Feng, which also followed his original intention of coming to the world cleanly: "In addition, seven days later, on the 100th birthday of Master Hongwu of Buddhism, because of his retreat, the Empty Pure Buddha Temple invited me to preside over the ceremony. The Empty Pure Buddha Temple has been repaired with my Jiuxuanmen for 300 years, and this time I will go to add more people to show prosperity. As the teacher's preliminary plan, each person will sit down, and each generation of disciples will choose one person to walk with the teacher to celebrate the ceremony, what do you think?"

"What the senior brother said is extremely true. None of the three junior disciples refuted, and Xuan Qing said again: "That's it." As soon as the candidate is selected tomorrow, he will gather in my martial arts training field, which is a once-in-a-century occurrence, and he must not lose his courtesy. ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes." ”

The invitation for the centenary of the birth of the Kongjing Buddha Temple was sent to the Dragon and Tiger League the day before yesterday. Yin Lichou asked Xiao Tiantu for instructions, and only gave an answer today. Xiao Tiantu asked the Dragon and Tiger League to be invited, otherwise it would not be like words. Jianghu martial arts has always been a family, and regardless of the evil grievances of various sects, the 100th birthday of the martial arts master is a godsend, even if it is an ordinary event, you should abandon the previous suspicions and share the grand occasion. The reason why Yin Lichou is weak is because of his improper position, after the news of the Dragon and Tiger Alliance changing hands, although no one crusades, but all the sects and factions of the Jianghu martial arts know that if there is no support from the imperial court, how can they dare to call Banlong Yingtian with only one Yin Lichou?

And now that Long Yingtian is not there, the Dragon and Tiger Alliance guards the huge territory but has no grandmaster, so it can't help but be a little shorter in the hearts of the people of the rivers and lakes, and may even become a laughing stock. I don't know how much cynicism there is when I go this time. If it weren't for Xiao Tiantu wanting to see the reactions of the various sects in the rivers and lakes, it would have been impossible for Yin Lichou to show his face.

Inside the Divine Sword Gate, An Tongping had already prepared his bags, and he was about to set off after eating in the afternoon. For him, it was a great honor to go to the Empty Pure Buddha Temple, and he also knew the news of his son An Ziyu's apprenticeship to Jiuxuanmen, so instead of being unhappy, he supported his decision. An Tongping is a martial arts idiot, although his thinking is stubborn, but he is not sloppy about practicing martial arts. He knew that there were mountain people outside the mountain, and An Ziyu could only go to the next level by apprenticeship under the Jiuxuanmen. The former glory of the Divine Sword Gate, An Tongping has never forgotten it since he took over the position of the head of the sect. He is very patient, one generation is not successful, only two generations, and now he pins his hopes on his precious son. He is a good father and a good leader, and the reason why the Divine Sword Sect can stand out from the crowd under the squeeze of the Northern Martial Arts Dragon and Tiger Alliance is because of his stubbornness.

An Tongping once said that unless there are no disciples in the door, he will never join the Dragon and Tiger League.

Now An Tongping has a common saying: "Wu'er is studying art in Jiuxuanmen, and in the future, he will return to his hometown, and there will be another sword saint in Shenjian Gate." ”

For this reason, An Tongping did not hesitate to let his disciples repair a book and send it to the head of Xuanqing of Jiuxuanmen first. First, to express a little gratitude, and secondly, to seek the opportunity for An Ziyu to attend the 100th birthday of Master Hongwu of Buddhism, it is really not easy to be a father.
