Chapter 129: The Aftermath
On this day, Yu Qian, the governor of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty, hosted a banquet for two special guests in his official residence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
One of the two guests was about thirty years old, fierce and majestic, but he spoke elegantly, and when he talked about poetry and poetry with Yu Qian, he could point out every sentence in place, which always aroused Yu Qian's admiration.
The other guest, who was not yet twenty years old, was young and did not know how to restrain himself, and he spoke politely, but a sword-like edge could not be concealed.
These two guests are naturally Xie Xun and Li Yingyuan.
On that day, the two escaped from the White Snake Secret Realm, and then had a long talk before they figured out the reasons for everything.
After all the truths were clarified, both of them couldn't help sighing, from Chen Kun to Xie Xun to Li Yingyuan, the encounters of the three people were bizarre and tortuous, and they were even more mysterious than any novel story.
The letter that Li Yingyuan found from the secret book of the Great Migration of Qiankun was written by Chen Kun's junior sister, who was officially married to Yang Xingtian, the leader of the Ming Sect.
The letter written in the letter is the official letter of the titular aunt, writing about the happy life in the Mixed Yuan Gate in the early years, the secret love with Cheng Kun, the desperation after the collapse of the Mixed Yuan Gate and the vow to marry the person who helped to take revenge, and the broken connection with Chen Kun after becoming the wife of the Ming Sect Master, until he was broken by the Yang Xingtian Sect Master during the private meeting with Chen Kun, and finally caused the war between Cheng Kun and Yang Xingtian.
Originally, Yang Xingtian's martial arts were much higher than Cheng Kun's, but at that time, it may have been because of the practice of a special exercise, the blood of the whole body flowed backwards, and ten percent of the martial arts could not be exerted, and he was actually knocked down a mountain cliff by Chen Kun, and then disappeared.
The power of the Ming Sect is huge, and Chen Kun and his junior sister knew that they had made a big mistake, so they wanted to find a place to live in seclusion and not let anyone find it.
It's just that this aunt found out in her conscience at this time, she was extremely remorseful, and felt sorry for her husband who had always taken great care of her, so she wrote this letter to Chen Kun, recalling her life and choosing to commit suicide.
Xie Xun and Li Yingyuan are both smart people, and they can guess what happened after that.
Chen Kun accepted Xie Xun as an apprentice and helped him become the king of Mingjiao, originally wanted to facilitate his own access to Mingjiao, and did it deliberately, but when he killed the leader of Mingjiao, his junior sister committed suicide again, and the rest of his heart was full of resentment towards Mingjiao, and he turned everything on Mingjiao.
It's just that the Ming Sect is powerful, there are seven or eight masters like Xie Xun alone, and there are countless first-class masters and sectarians, even when the Mixed Yuan Sect was the most powerful, it couldn't compare to a fraction of others.
So, Chen Kun's idea hit his apprentice, deliberately visited Xie Xun's Xie Jiazhuang, and pretended to be drunk, slaughtering Xie Jiazhuang, leaving Xie Xun alone.
Xie Xun was originally both civil and military, and his prestige in the sect was extremely high, and he was the most likely candidate to become Yang Xingtian's successor, but he was controlled by anger at this time, ignoring the affairs of the sect, trying his best to track down Chen Kun's whereabouts, and just fell into Chen Kun's conspiracy.
After the whereabouts of the original sect leader were unknown, and the most likely successor of the sect leader no longer cared about the affairs of the sect, it immediately fell apart.
Xie Xun has been tracking down Chen Kun all these years, but Chen Kun doesn't talk about his character, but when it comes to martial arts, he is a first-class master, and suddenly his deeds lured Xie Xun over, and suddenly disappeared, and he actually played Xie Xun around, and the idea of revenge in his heart became more and more intense.
Until this time, Chen Kun somehow found out that the original enemy, the Musashi family, had gone to Dinghai, and the secret treasure of the sect's inheritance, the Amber Gold Cicada Pei, was also in the hands of the Musashi family, so he wanted to kill Musashi Kotaro and then take the Amber Gold Cicada Pei back, so he pretended to accept Li Yingyuan as a disciple.
This Amber Golden Cicada Pei contains a large number of martial arts cheats collected by the Mixed Yuan Gate for hundreds of years, and even uses the key content of the Mixed Yuan Gate's martial arts to promote the innate master, etc., Chen Kun has stayed in the Fourth-Order Dacheng Realm for a long time, and it is imperative to obtain this Amber Golden Cicada Pei.
It's just that the later development of this matter was beyond Chen Kun's control, Musashi Kojiro successfully killed, but missed the amber golden cicada, and finally let Li Yingyuan get it and then set a trap in the White Snake Secret Realm, and finally worked with Xie Xun to kill Chen Kun, which is really wonderful.
Chen Kun was seriously injured after killing Musashi Kojiro, and after finding a place to heal his injuries, he should have wanted to take action immediately and take down Li Yingyuan and Amber Jin Cicada, but he didn't expect Xie Xun to come all the way, so Chen Kun could only hide and didn't dare to come forward.
If you talk about martial arts, Chen Kun will not be afraid of Xie Xun, but Xie Xun is the king of Mingjiao after all, and he has a loyal and strong martial arts subordinate.
Xie Xun is also ruthless, after finding Li Yingyuan, he immediately understood that if he wanted Chen Kun to appear, Li Yingyuan and Amber Jin Cicada were the key, so he pretended to be close, but he dug a pit many times to frame Li Yingyuan, and deliberately broke into the Dinghai County Ya at the beginning, leaving the key clues to the English, Li Yingyuan could only smile bitterly at this time.
Fortunately, Li Yingyuan coped with it properly, and finally found an opportunity to return to Hangzhou with the amber gold cicada pendant.
Xie Xun took this opportunity to instigate Li Yingyuan to refine the Amber Gold Cicada Pei, and taught him the method of refining the life and death talisman, but he forced Chen Kun to appear.
In the process of teaching Li Yingyuan martial arts, Xie Xun naturally also made countless tricks and feet on the Amber Golden Cicada Pendant and the Mixed Yuan Dao Species, etc., and could control Li Yingyuan's position.
Chen Kun was secretly observing, and understood that if he didn't make a move, Li Yingyuan would refine the amber golden cicada pendant for himself, even if Li Yingyuan didn't notice the failure of refining for a while, the golden cicada dao seed would disappear with Li Yingyuan's death, knowing that Xie Xun had bad intentions, he would also take action to snatch the golden cicada dao seed.
After that, the incident in the Green Snake Village happened, Li Yingyuan was trapped in the White Snake Secret Realm, Chen Kun knew that Xie Xun must be waiting for him in the dark, so he didn't dare to show up easily, and only after using some means to lure Xie Xun away did he dare to enter the White Snake Secret Realm to find Li Yingyuan.
Xie Xun also became smart this time, pretending to be led away, and turned back halfway, just blocking Chen Kun, and then killing Chen Kun.
Chen Kun and Xie Xun didn't take Li Yingyuan to heart, they just regarded him as a pawn, but they didn't expect this pawn to be too powerful, digging a trap and almost killing a top master like Chen Kun, and forcing Chen Kun to be unable to escape, so he could only fight with Xie Xun.
If it weren't for Li Yingyuan's planning, with Chen Kun's heart and wit, there would have been a lot of back-ups, and Xie Xun would have lost both with Chen Kun at most when he came in the end, and it was very likely that Chen Kun would have taken the opportunity to escape.
After calculating all this, Li Yingyuan and Xie Xun also stood stunned for a while, but they didn't expect that the secret reasons for this matter were so complicated and the implication was so extensive.
Xie Xun was originally bored, and originally had the will to die, but under Li Yingyuan's persuasion, at this time, he should first find the missing sect leader Yang Xingtian, even if the person died, he had to find the body for burial, which was a little bit of a task.
As for the fragmentation of Mingjiao over the years, although it is not Xie Xun's doing, it is not that there is no responsibility at all, at least it is necessary to gather many masters of Mingjiao together, explain what happened before and after, and let them decide whether it is better to continue to fight like this, or to reconcile and revitalize the prestige of Mingjiao, in short, we have to give people an explanation, don't continue to fight in confusion.
As long as Xie Xun is not bent on dying or becoming a monk, Li Yingyuan is relieved, and begged Xie Xun to bring him to see Yuqian, the governor of Zhejiang, to explain what happened to Dinghai, otherwise the author of the dignified and heroic will still be wanted by the government, which is too unusual.
In front of Yu Qian, the statements of the two people were adjusted again.
It is said that Chen Kun, a hero of the rivers and lakes, felt that the Jiangnan Japanese were in serious trouble, and cooperated with the Song guerrillas, and sent his disciples to enter the Dinghai Japanese to find out the news.
The master-apprentice rivalry between Xie Xun and Chen Kun is still a top secret matter, even if few people in the Ming Sect know about it, Yu Qian is naturally convinced, and he also praises the three people of the Mixed Yuan Sect for their dedication to the Ming Imperial Court.
Chen Kun, as the master of the famous and decent Mixed Yuan Sect, is closer to Xie Xun, the king of Mingjiao, in the eyes of the people in the official mansion, Yu Qian also felt a lot more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Li Yingyuan, and promised to revoke the original wanted warrant for Li Yingyuan, and promised to give him an official position.
The most important thing in the officialdom is the backer, and Yu Qian didn't know that Chen Kun had been killed, but Li Yingyuan was standing behind Chen Kun and Xie Xun, two top masters, who were quite enveloped by him.
Although literati have always despised martial artists, but when it comes to high-ranking officials like Yuqian, they understand the lethality of top martial artists, and know that martial artists like Xie Xun and Chen Kun really want to assassinate someone, that is, the three princes, nine kings, and six books may not be able to resist, and they will not show the same face that they have against ordinary military generals, but there are many praises.
Li Yingyuan took the opportunity to ask for the position of Dinghai Zhixian to help Yuqian completely solve the problem of the English people in Dinghai.
Yuqian was surprised, but he didn't completely refuse, he just said that everything had to go according to the rules, and he didn't say anything to death.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was already stormy, whether it was the Manchu regime in the north or the peasant army in the northwest, they could not resist, showing the scene of the end of the world, some of the original officialdom rules had long since collapsed, and the buying and selling of official positions became very common.
Dinghai Zhixian was not a critical position, if Li Yingyuan was an ordinary talent, he found the right way, and spent seven or eight thousand taels of silver, and it is estimated that he could donate to Zhixian.
As for now, Dinghai is occupied by the British, and the original magistrate is under house arrest, and this position is even less valuable, or even if it is given for nothing, no one wants to get such a useless and dangerous position.
When Xie Xun and Li Yingyuan withdrew from the governor's residence, a master surnamed Bai had a secret discussion with Li Yingyuan, telling him who should send money, how much money to send, and how to send it, and explain these ways to him clearly.
Li Yingyuan asked this Master Bai to be a staff member, dotted up and down, spent more than 1,200 taels of silver before and after, and got the appointment certificate of Dinghai Zhixian after more than ten days.
Xie Xun took the appointment letter and flipped through it, his expression was a little complicated.
"Senior brother, this Dinghai is obviously a fire pit, why do you bother jumping into it. If you really want to be an official and have a good time, you should also find a rich county to go to, why did you find a county occupied by foreign Yi?" Xie Xun asked.
Li Yingyuan carefully put away the letter of appointment, sighed, and said, "This matter of Dinghai has a great cause and effect with me, but it is about to be concluded.
Originally, I mentioned the matter of being a magistrate to Governor Yuqian, but I was just testing him, if he didn't agree with me being a magistrate, then I would put this matter down and cultivate my own martial arts.
But since he promised me to be the magistrate of this county, I have to end this cause and effect, otherwise I am afraid that I will become a demon in the future.
Senior brother rest assured, this matter of Dinghai is extremely complicated, and if you are not careful, you may fall to pieces, and the junior brother also understands this. ā
Xie Xun had never been sincere to Li Yingyuan, and he had dug pits and used Li Yingyuan many times, but after the revenge was avenged, he was grateful for Li Yingyuan's help, and felt a little ashamed of Li Yingyuan, but he was much more sincere to this cheap junior brother than before.
