Text Season 3: The Reign of the DPRK and China _ The 48th episode of "Phantom Spear (3)": Full of suspicion
Last time, it was said: Liu Gongzi revealed the news that Fang Yan has now been imprisoned in the prison by the emperor, but this is very likely that the emperor did this deliberately in order to save his life. After that, Liu Gongzi took his sister away, and on the way, Liu Gongzi sternly said Liu Bingbing and reminded her that it would be better to meet Jiang Feng less in the future.
When Liu Bingbing heard Liu Gongzi's words, he was also quite puzzled in his heart, and asked: "Brother, Brother Jiang is the owner of the Beijing Zhaoxian Pavilion appointed by the emperor, and his father is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and the only intersection between them is also an official of the same dynasty, not to mention that Brother Jiang is only doing things outside and does not participate in court politics, so there is no conflict with his father at all?" Liu Gongzi didn't want to tell Liu Bingbing about his father's plan to usurp the throne, so he had to say secretly: " Bingbing, you never ask about the affairs of the imperial court, you naturally don't know the mystery of this. Why did the emperor quietly build the Beijing Zhaoxian Pavilion this time for no reason? Why did he take advantage of the occasion of the World Martial Arts Conference to select talents to be the owners of the Zhaoxian Pavilion this time? All this is a game set up by the emperor in order to contain his father, do you know?" Liu Bingbing became more and more confused the more he listened, and asked: "Restrain Daddy? Why is this why is Daddy not the emperor's most trusted person? Why did the emperor do this?" Liu Gongzi sighed softly: " My sister has been studying since she was a child, and she must have heard the story of the fake King of Qi, who was later the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin? Han Xin defeated Xiang Yu for Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and pacified the world, and what happened in the end, do you know?" Liu Bingbing thought about it carefully and said: "The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, I still dabbled in it when I was a child. Liu Gongzi nodded with satisfaction, his sister was really knowledgeable, and said: "Yes, after the world was calmed, Han Xin was first demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, and then he was killed for the crime of rebellion. Liu Bingbing suddenly covered his mouth in fright, and exclaimed: "Brother, you mean that the emperor wants to get rid of his father?" Liu Gongzi nodded slowly, Liu Bingbing thought about it carefully, and said: "Brother, are you lying to me? Hasn't the relationship between my father and the emperor always been very good for so many years? Even now, hasn't the emperor not made any moves towards his father? Why do you say that?" Liu Gongzi said intently: " Sister, isn't it enough to set up a recruitment hall outside and reject my father's valuable advice inside? I have been following my father to participate in government politics for some years, and I see these bits and pieces in my eyes. Liu Bingbing still didn't believe it, and doubted: "Brother, did Daddy do something wrong to make the emperor guard against Daddy like this?" Liu Gongzi said: "Who can be blamed if a person is not a sage?" But if Daddy makes a mistake, the emperor can blame him, but if the emperor does something wrong, who dares to say that it is not?" After listening to Liu Gongzi's words, Liu Bingbing's previous insistence in her heart couldn't help but be a little shaken, but she also strived: "Even so, it is a matter between the emperor and Daddy, why do you want to restrict my contact with Brother Jiang?" Liu Gongzi saw his sister's stubborn temper coming up again, so he said: "Sister, think about it, if Jiang Feng wants to go against his father in the future, do we have to sit back and wait for others to slaughter him? With his father's character, he has always been the first to strike first, and the second to suffer. If you still don't restrain your feelings for Jiang Feng, if that day comes, you won't be able to stand it, brother is for your good, do you know?" Liu Bingbing bit his lower lip and said nothing. After that, the two of them had their own hearts and returned to Liu's Mansion together, leaving it alone for the time being.
The flowers bloom two and each have a branch, and it is said that after so many days on the rivers and lakes, Gu Yuanting, a defected disciple of Shandong Yujian Sect "White-haired Demon Boy", went north along the road to challenge every sword sect. So far, he has challenged a total of more than 20 sword masters, and none of them have been defeated. His latest news naturally spread to the Henan Qingxu faction, on this day, in the Void Palace, the Taixu Daoist was burning incense to worship God, Du Shaoyang was dressed in black, walked in, and reported: "Uncle Shi, I just came back from the mountain." Taixu Daoist inserted the three incense sticks in the incense burner, he stroked his beard, turned around and said, "Oh, Shaoyang is back, how is the news?" Du Shaoyang's face was solemn and said, "Uncle Shi, the situation this time may be even worse than imagined." Taixu Daoist motioned for him to continue, and Du Shaoyang said again: " Uncle Shi, after I went down the mountain, I asked a few friends to help investigate, in recent days, Gu Yuanting's behavior has become more and more presumptuous, in the past, he basically challenged a sword master or sword sect a day, in recent days, he sometimes challenges several factions a day, and none of them failed, according to the accurate information given to me by my friend, this person has a very high understanding, after he fights with others, he can take away the essence of other people's swordsmanship, automatically omit the dross, and can quickly integrate into his own swordsmanship, we are in several nearby provinces, now when he hears his name, they are all frightened, and his current reputation is not lower than that of Yi Zhuofan。 After hearing this, Taixu Daoist frowned and asked, "Did he hurt people's lives?" Du Shaoyang said: "Uncle Shi, this is also the difference between him and the 'Six-Pointed Star Immortal' Yi Zhuofan back then, he only chose to make the Sword Sect send to challenge, except for the boiling murder of the teacher before, there was no news that he had hurt people's lives after that, it is said that every time at the last moment of the competition, he would say that those who were defeated under him were not worthy of him to be killed with a white pheasant sword." Taixu Daoist walked to Du Shaoyang's side, looked at him, and said: "Our Qingxu faction has been listed as the first sword sect in martial arts with Shandong Yujian Sect since very early days, and you have been asked to practice swords diligently, do you understand what Uncle Shi means?" Du Shaoyang said respectfully: "Uncle Shi, what you mean by the old, I naturally know that you want to fight with the white-haired demon boy and frustrate the prestige of this white-haired demon boy, at least let him know that our Qingxu faction is not a waste of fame." Taixu Daoist shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Shaoyang, you really understood what I mean, Uncle Shi, you used to be very calm and enlightened, but this time there is a white-haired demon boy, your thoughts are a little worldly." Why can our Qingxu faction be called the first sword school in martial arts, indeed, our sect's swordsmanship is unique and powerful, but people who practice martial arts are basically to strengthen their bodies, and then to hoe the strong and help the weak, and they should never cling to something for who is the first and who is the second, do you know?" Du Shaoyang was silent, just listening attentively to his uncle's teachings.
Taixu Dao paced a few steps and said: "Shaoyang, when your master is still alive, he has never been confined to this worldly idea, his heart is actually empty, but he also has martial arts in his heart and thinks about the world, because of this, the senior brother's swordsmanship can be practiced to be pure and pure, and he is extremely diligent." The reason why he accepted Yi Zhuofan's duel at the beginning was not for Yi Zhuofan's so-called first battle in martial arts. It's that Yi Zhuofan has killed countless people, and he is already a demon-like figure, and some other sects are intriguing with each other, and they don't want the team to work together to get rid of the thieves, so the senior brother wants to use his own strength to quell the catastrophe of martial arts. The situation now is very similar to that time, but I didn't expect to have to come forward twice with the Qingxu faction. The reason why I asked you to practice swords diligently a few days ago is not for our face, but for the sake of our face, but I hope you can understand the true meaning of swordsmanship, all my life, I have never been able to understand the mystery of no sword is better than a sword, this time since there is a white-haired demon boy, as the current head of the Qingxu faction, naturally I can't shirk it to anyone, if Gu Yuanting comes, I will also fight in person. When Du Shaoyang heard this, he immediately objected: "Uncle Shi, Shaoyang realized that you were wrong about my hard work before, it was Shaoyang's fault, these days, Shaoyang's heart really can't be as calm as before." Before Du Shaoyang finished speaking, Daoist Taixu patted him on the shoulder and interrupted: "Shaoyang, you don't need to say it, Uncle Shi knows it." Although you are usually indulgent and unmoved by worldly things, your heart is like a mirror, and you actually see things better than anyone else, which is your strength, but also your disadvantage. Because once something affects the life and death of your sect, the lives of your relatives and friends, you often can't calm your heart, just like the last time you broke into the door of death alone to save Qing'er. Shaoyang, you have to remember that no matter what happens, no matter how happy life is, no matter how bitter death is, it is just a process of life, everyone has to go through it, only if you can understand it thoroughly, can you realize your own way, and you can practice your own extreme swordsmanship. Uncle Shi wants to fight this time, it's not just a matter of will, I'm old, even if I escape this time, I won't be able to live for a few years, and after my immortal death, the Qingxu faction will be handed over to you, you are the hope of our sect. We don't fight for fame, but we want the spirit of the word "clear and empty" to benefit the world and contribute to the martial arts of the rivers and lakes. Du Shaoyang was in a very complicated mood, he kept rubbing his temples with his right hand, he originally hated troublesome things the most, but he also knew that he had to face these things, and when he needed to face them, his mood became extremely chaotic.
Taixu Dao Chang suddenly said: "Shaoyang, close your eyes, follow me, and breathe in the breath of this Qingxu Palace." Du Shaoyang followed his uncle, closed his eyes and concentrated, and breathed......
