Chapter 20: Candle Eve Talk
In the Jin family's mansion, in Ji Xueyi's wing.
A rickety old man, pulling his beard that was about to fall to the ground, stood in front of the candle with Ji Xueyi.
"Disciple, you seem to be a little impulsive today. ”
"I wonder what Master Long Beard is referring to?"
Weng Changsu sat down with his body around: "According to the teacher, Jin Yunfeng of the Jin family is not worthy of your friendship, could it be that the disciple likes him?"
Ji Xueyi also sat down, her expression slightly playful: "Master's martial arts are unique in the world, but his vision is very short-sighted." ”
"Oh? ”
"Master thinks that the Jiangzuo Alliance after three days is just to elect the new leader of the Jiangzuo Fourteen Prefectures?"
Weng Changshu pulled at the few remaining hairs on his head, and his tone was puzzled: "Could it be that there is something else going on?"
Ji Xueyi said: "Yes and no." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Ji Xueyi said: "The Jin family, as a century-old alliance leader family in the fourteen states of Jiangzuo, could it be that the master really thinks that the Jin family will give up the hundred-year hard work to others?"
"It stands to reason that it won't. Weng Changsu replied.
"Of course not, all the Jin family did was to let the entire Jianghu sing with them. ”
Ji Xueyi turned the candlestick on the table, stared at the candle flame and said slowly: "Jin Qianhe, the head of the Jin family, is old, he wants to retreat, but Jiang Zuo is not his Jiang Zuo alone after all." ”
"The leader of the alliance in the fourteen states of Jiangzuo can't be given to whomever he wants, what Jiangzuo will be in the alliance, in fact, the Jin family itself is to build momentum for themselves, in order to block the mouths of the people, so that the juniors of the Jin family can take over the position of the leader of the alliance under the witness of the entire rivers and lakes. ”
"I think Jin Qianhe has made all the preparations, no matter what the outcome of the Jiangzuo Alliance is, the people who can finally sit on the throne of the Jiangzuo Fourteen Prefecture Alliance are all from the Jin family. ”
Weng Changshu kept stroking his long beard, and he didn't know if he understood Ji Xueyi's words.
After a long time, he said: "But what does this have to do with your friendship with Jin Yunfeng?"
Ji Xueyi smiled: "It seems that the master doesn't know much about the people and things of the Jin family. ”
Weng Changsu said angrily: "It's okay for the teacher to understand what the Jin family is doing." ”
Ji Changxue said: "Jin Yunfeng is the first person in the third generation of the Jin family; the only one in the second generation of the Jin family who is qualified to compete for the position of the leader of the alliance is Jin Yunfeng's father Jin Wanli, and Jin Yunfeng's second uncle Jin Wanpeng;
"Hearing this, will Master still think that it is worthless for me to spend tens of thousands of taels of gold on Jin Yunfeng?"
Weng Changsu suddenly laughed with realization: "Haha...... You have a melon seed, no wonder there is a brother like the Emperor of Heaven. ”
Ji Qianxue stretched her brows, and said with a smile: "My brother is the first person in the world, the lord of this county, but he is just a little girl." ”
As she spoke, Ji Qianxue thought of something, and her brows furrowed again.
"It's a pity...... Today, he was disrupted by Ao Han of Dawei Castle, which is really hateful. ”
Seeing Ji Xueyi's gritted teeth, Weng Changsu comforted: "The young man's heart is just happy, if he is an ordinary person, who would spend so much money on a wrestler." ”
"Hmph, this county lord is just not happy, the small castle lord of a small land dares to ignore this county lord, I want him to taste the bitterness one day. ”
Weng Changxu, who knew his apprentice, knew that his apprentice would do what he said, and persuaded him: "Don't underestimate the people of the world. ”
"Although the Northern Desert is far away from Middle-earth, it is outside the sphere of influence of the five great dynasties. ”
"But Dawei Fort can stand in the Northern Desert for hundreds of years without falling, and even the Thirteenth Road Ringing Horse in the Northern Desert is also separated from it, and does not trespass each other; although there is no rumor of the strength of Dawei Fort on the rivers and lakes, it can be seen that this Dawei Fort is not easy to mess with. ”
"I'm afraid that the heritage of this big Willburg is not as simple as we imagined. ”
Ji Qianxue didn't think so at all: "No matter how deep the background is, it's just a force in the rivers and lakes, and if the county lord really wants to destroy it, no one can save it." ”
Weng Changsu no longer dissuaded, and said to Ji Xueyi: "Yes, yes, I am the most powerful." ”
"I just don't know if my apprentice is so powerful, how powerful a man will have to be in the future to be able to lower you, haha......"
Ji Xueyi's face was proud: "The man who can make me look at must be very powerful, at least half as powerful as my brother." ”
"Haha......"
Weng Changsu laughed again.
"Bang, bang......"
There was a sudden rhythmic knock outside the door, Weng Changsu stopped laughing, and Ji Xueyi said, "Come in." ”
A man cautiously pushed the door in, dressed as a servant of the Jin family, but he was in the face of Ji Xue's salute of master and servant.
"County Lord, Shen Muru has already left. ”
"Has she seen Kim Qianhyuk?"
"I've seen it. ”
"I heard them talking. ”
"Jin Qianhe is cunning and cunning, plus the second elder of Tianchi has been following Shen Muru closely, the little one really doesn't dare to get too close......"
"No is nothing, where are there so many excuses. ”
"Yes, the slave knows what is wrong. ”
"One more thing to inquire about?"
"I inquired, Jin Yunliu is a person who returned to the mansion today, and I haven't seen anyone from Dawei Castle. ”
"Oh, he didn't even live in Kim's house. Ji Qianxue pondered for a moment, and then said, "Go down, leave the Jin family after the Jiangzuo Huimeng is over, you have been here for too long." ”
The man's face was happy: "Thank you, county lord." ”
After the man left, Weng Changsu said, "Disciple, why are you so concerned about this Shen Muru?"
It was about Shen Muru, and Ji Changxue had an unprecedented seriousness on her face: "Master doesn't know, my brother has gone up to Sisheng Cliff three times to invite the second elder of Tianchi to come down the mountain, but he has not been able to invite the second elder of Tianchi;
Weng Changsu said: "Anything can happen in this world, maybe this Tianchi Second Elder looks at Shen Muru and likes him, and he doesn't necessarily like him." ”
Ji Qianxue shook her head: "There must be an unknown secret behind all the things that violate the norm, Shen Muru or the Shen family must have something we don't know." ”
Weng Changxu slapped his head and shouted, "My apprentice, you won't let me, an old bone, bring you here just because of your guess about Shen Muru." ”
"Of course not, how can I become a guest of the Jin family without your face, Master?" Ji Xueyi grabbed Weng Changshu's arm and said coquettishly: "Master, you know, this Jiangzuo Fourteen Prefectures have never been in contact with the court, and if I come alone, they will not be able to drive me out." ”
"Then tell Master honestly what your purpose is here. ”
Ji Qianxue turned around and closed the door, then walked to a corner next to the bed, took out a roster, and handed it to Weng Changsu.
took the roster and opened it to see, Weng Changsu was shocked.
This roster turned out to be a string of names, including age, preferences, and recorded one by one, in great detail.
The most important thing is that these people have a common characteristic, that is, they are all famous masters in the rivers and lakes.
