When Bai Cheng heard Chen Daozi talking about the Daomen, he shouted angrily and scolded the Daomen repeatedly.

Chen Daozi's face changed rapidly, and he hurriedly whispered: "Commander Chu, don't raise your voice, I'm afraid of leaking secrets." ”

Bai Cheng said in a deep voice: "This is the residence of King Langya, can anyone dare to come and spy on secrets?"

Chen Daozi shook his head again and again, and said: "The Daomen tree has big roots and deep roots, although Xiao Wang is extremely strict in governing the family, he must also prevent the partition wall from having ears. ”

Bai Cheng nodded, and said secretly in his heart, I don't know if the wall has ears, there is an undercover agent sitting in front of you.

However, with Bai Cheng's understanding of Chen Daozi, most of his fears at this time were pretended, since he dared to talk about Daomen today, he was afraid that sooner or later he would have to have a fight with Daomen, and he was not so afraid as he said.

Bai Cheng thought so in his heart, but he didn't say so, and asked, "I don't know how the door takes the wealth of the world?"

Chen Daozi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "A few years ago, the Dao Sect secretly established a Dao vein called Huang Tiandao, which overrides many Dao veins, and has the power to order the Dao Sect of the world. ”

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Chu seems to have heard of this Huang Tiandao. ”

Chen Daozi continued: "After the establishment of the Yellow Heavenly Dao, he divided the various state capitals in the world into domains, and set up the position of the Dao Lord in each Dao domain, allowing the major branches of the Dao Gate in the world to compete for the position of the Dao Master. ”

Bai Cheng frowned and said: "Daomen's move is not much different from the Ripping Soil King, do they really think that the sentence 'Leader of the Shore, None of the Princes' is empty words?"

Chen Daozi sighed and said, "Dividing the Dao Domain and setting up the Dao Master is just the first step of the Dao Gate, and then they will integrate the power of the entire Dao Gate and build the four countries of Jiangnan into a monolith." When that day comes, don't say that it is a sect of the rivers and lakes, but I am afraid that the imperial court will not have a foothold!"

When Bai Cheng heard this, he said angrily: "What King Langya said is, if this is the case, how is the imperial court prepared to deal with it?"

Chen Daozi sighed a few times and said: "It's difficult, it's difficult, with the power of the imperial court alone, how can there be a means to restrain Jiangnan Daomen!"

Bai Cheng heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, frowned slightly, and said: "There are many heroes in the world, and not all of them are in the imperial court. ”

Chen Daozi sighed and said in a low voice: "Although what Commander Chu said is good, there is a difficulty in it!"

Bai Cheng said: "King Langya, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Chen Daozi said: "Your Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and has never been in contact with the people, Xiao Wang has always been rolling in the court, although he has some understanding of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but in the end he is not a person on the same road, and he has no friends in the rivers and lakes, and he has never cooperated with each other.

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "This matter is okay, just hand it over to Chu, although Chu is shallow, he still has a little thin face in the rivers and lakes." ”

Chen Daozi showed joy on his face, and hurriedly said: "If Commander Chu is willing to come forward, it will be even better!"

Bai Cheng smiled: "But I don't know how many sects King Langya plans to contact?"

Chen Daozi pondered for a moment and said, "The first one is the 'Mountain Sect'!"

Bai Cheng's heart moved, and he said: "King Langya, the 'Mountain Sect' is the number one enemy of our 'Hidden Dragon', and there have been many bloody battles between the two sides, does the prince really want to unite them?"

Chen Daozi said with a smile: "The 'Mountain Sect' was originally composed of warriors on the rivers and lakes, although it is not against us, but it is even less against the Daomen, as long as we deal with the Daomen together, there is still hope for us to win their support." ”

Bai Cheng then asked, "What about other things, I'm afraid that a single mountain sect can't make a big deal. ”

Chen Daozi said: "The major families in the capital are also a force that can be fought for, but these people are familiar with Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang sends people to invite them, and there is no need to work for Chu to lead the master." ”

Bai Cheng nodded and said: "King Langya has been in the court for many years, and he has always been friendly with the big clans, but he is much stronger than Chu, I don't know if in addition to these two branches, the prince plans to invite those people?"

Chen Daozi said: "Naturally, the support of a series of generals in the army is indispensable, but the forces in the army have always been monolithic, Xiao Wang plans to go to General Wei's mansion to pay a visit in person, as long as he obtains the support of General Wei, there will naturally be no problems in the army." ”

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "If General Wei supports it, things will be much easier, besides, does the prince have a backhand?"

Chen Daozi pondered for a moment and continued, "I wonder what Commander Chu thinks of the Demon Gate?"

Bai Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and asked, "Demon Gate... Could it be that the prince plans to join forces with the Demon Gate?"

Chen Daozi sighed lightly and said: "Those in the world who dare to confront the Daomen head-on, except for the Buddha Gate, which is the Demon Gate, Xiao Wang is also sick and rushed to the doctor. ”

Bai Cheng was silent and did not continue to answer.

Seeing that Bai Cheng was silent, Chen Daozi continued to ask, "Commander Chu doesn't think it's inappropriate?"

Bai Cheng took a deep look at him and said: "The people in the Demon Gate are like maggots on tarsal bones, once they are glued, it will be difficult to leave again! ”

Chen Daozi sighed and said: "Not only does Xiao Wang know that it is wrong, but even His Majesty knows that this is the idea of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, but it has to be so, and I ask Commander Chu for forgiveness." ”

Bai Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since it is Your Majesty's intention, then Chu Mou will go and contact him." ”

Chen Daozi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to bother Commander Chu to contact, Xiao Wang has already inquired about the news of the Demon Gate, as long as Commander Chu sits here, he will not let the Demon Gate have a chance." ”

Bai Cheng's heart moved, it seemed that Chen Daozi had already colluded with the Demon Gate, and it was not a temporary whim.

However, the Demon Gate is not only the great enemy of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, but also the common enemy of the Seven Kingdoms of the North and the South, and the Jianghu Sect.

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng suddenly remembered an extremely important matter, and asked again: "I don't know if this matter is being promoted in the name of His Majesty or in the name of the 'Hidden Dragon'?"

Chen Daozi said: "This matter is neither in the name of His Majesty nor in the name of 'Hidden Dragon'. ”

When Bai Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of doubt on his face.

Chen Daozi explained: "If this matter is carried out in the name of His Majesty, once things do not go well and the Daomen has the upper hand, we will have no room to turn around." If this matter is promoted in the name of 'Hidden Dragon', it will inevitably expose the strength that 'Hidden Dragon' has secretly accumulated, and it is not beautiful to turn from dark to light. ”

Bai Cheng frowned and asked, "What does the prince mean?"

Chen Daozi said with a smile: "The fifteenth day of next month is Xiao Wang's birthday, Xiao Wang plans to invite the major forces on this ground, and when the Chu commander sits in the palace, let's take this opportunity to chat with them." ”

......

Ten miles of peach blossoms, thousands of feet of red silk.

On this day, the car in front of the Langya Wangfu is like a flowing water, and the guests and friends come like a cloud.

The two big butlers, Zhang and Wang, stood on the wide road in front of the mansion, and took more than 20 subordinates to greet and send them over, tired and sweating.

Although there are many guests who come to the mansion, most of them are not qualified to enter the mansion, and they can say a few words to the two housekeepers Zhang and Li, which can be regarded as very status.

Many people only had time to hand the gift list to the two big butlers, hurriedly said hello, and were squeezed away by the later people.

In fact, if you want to enter the gate of Langya Wangfu today, you don't want to think about it if you don't have an official position above the fourth grade, as for personally wishing the birthday of the Langya King, it is better not to have this dream if you don't have an official position above the second grade.

During this day, the entire Langya Mansion was very lively, only a small courtyard on the east side of the backyard was very quiet. In the small courtyard, there is a round table, on which are placed a few plates of refreshing side dishes and a pot of cold wine.

A man in gray sat alone at the table, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and was pouring himself a drink.

The gray-clothed man sat here for a day, until the golden wuxi fell and the jade rabbit rose eastward, and he heard footsteps coming from a distance.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk," there was a knock outside the door.

Bai Cheng didn't raise his head, tapped the wooden table with his fingers, and said, "Come in." ”

With a "squeak", a blue-clothed attendant walked quickly into the flower hall and said in a low voice: "Commander Qiqi Chu, the prince invites you to talk about the flower hall in the old back hall." ”

Bai Cheng slowly stood up, stroked the broken sword at his waist, and said with a smile: "Lead the way in front of your head!"

The two of them walked slowly out of the small courtyard and walked straight to the back hall.

The flower hall in the back hall has long been brightly lit, not only that, but hundreds of soldiers have already been sprinkled around the flower hall, holding blazing torches, illuminating the road along the way as bright as day.

The sword halberd is like a forest, the sword and gun are like rain, and there is a killing atmosphere along the way.

Bai Cheng looked at it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart, it seems that Chen Daozi has indeed arranged today's affairs very properly, but confronting Daomen is the most dangerous thing in Jiangnan, so this arrangement is not excessive.

After passing through the guards, Bai Cheng came to the middle of the flower hall, only to see a large round table in the flower hall, and several people sat around the round table, among which Chen Daozi sat in the main seat, and there was an empty chair on his left hand, which should be reserved for Bai Cheng.

A few others sat in the guest seats, and behind them stood several young men and women, who seemed to be the sons and nephews of these men.

Bai Cheng glanced at it, and his heart couldn't help but move, most of the people sitting there were the first time he had seen them, but he was very familiar with the few people who were standing.

......

"Commander Chu has arrived!" Chen Daozi saw Bai Cheng at a glance, and hurriedly got up to greet him and arranged him to the vacant seat.

Bai Cheng smiled slightly, walked quickly to the round table, arched his hand at everyone, and said, "Chu is late and asks you for forgiveness." ”

Several people sitting around the round table quickly stood up and bowed their hands one after another.

"Three years ago, you and I said goodbye to Yandang Mountain, and we didn't have a chance to see each other again, but when I see you today, Commander Chu is now extraordinarily spiritual. A middle-aged man in green cloth on Chen Daozi's right hand said slowly.

This person is dressed as a scribe, with a green cloth coat, white cloth socks, black cloth shoes, and an ordinary knife at his waist, just like an ordinary Jianghu person.

Bai Cheng knew that this person was not an ordinary Jianghu person, not only was it unusual, but he was also the most legendary Jianghu figure in Chen Guo in the past hundred years!

This person is Chen Guozhen Nanwang, the head of the Eighteen Sects of the Alliance, the head of the Danxia faction, the world's most famous God Refining Grandmaster, and Liang Zixiang, the "Qi Swallowing Danxia"!

At this time, it was no one else standing behind him, it was his protΓ©gΓ© and Li Shenzhou, who was also Bai Cheng's classmate in the White Tiger camp!

Bai Cheng arched his hand and smiled: "Master Liang has been separated for many years, I haven't seen him for a long time, Chu has always wanted to go to Danxia Mountain to meet him, but it's a pity that he can't travel far because of mundane things." ”

"Commander Chu, we are all old people, how can you favor one over the other, only talk with the head of Liang, and not drink with a certain family?"

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "Brother Sima has been absent for a long time, and the day of you and I drinking is still ahead, so I am not in a hurry for this time." ”

This Angzang Han seems rude, but he is a representative of the family in the capital, "Purple Qi Gong" Sima Shi!

Although Bai Cheng had not seen this person with his own eyes, he had already seen the portrait of this person, so he was not alarmed. What's more, even if he doesn't know Sima Shi, he also knows the person behind Sima Shi, Sima Chaoqun, who had several faces!

With that, Bai Cheng poured a full glass of wine, raised his head and drank it, and then laughed.

Sima Shi was also average, looking up to the sky and laughing.

"Commander Chu, since you have already met two friends, do you have to bow down to your boss again?" Chen Daozi pointed to a middle-aged man on his right and said with a smile.

"King Langya said and laughed, how can Wei dare to call himself a boss?" the middle-aged man said lightly.

This person is nine feet tall, his face is cold, his clothes are like snow, and the long sword at his waist is like blood.

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "General Wei acts as the general and commands the world's soldiers and horses, and Chu's Imperial Forest Army is naturally also under the jurisdiction, and this 'boss' is worthy of it!"

It turned out that this person was the son of General Wei immediately, Wei Xuan, who acted as the general, since General Wei was getting older ten years ago, and after going to the position of general, Chen Yao asked Wei Xuan to act as the general.

In the past ten years, Wei Xuan has long been full of henchmen in the army, and he can be said to be the first person in Chen Guo's army.

However, what made Bai Cheng feel strange was that Wei Xuan did not bring the descendants of the General's Mansion when he came today, but brought a distant relative of General Wei and an old acquaintance of Bai Cheng, Wei Guxia!

In addition to these acquaintances, there were three other people seated at the table, two of whom were wearing black robes and black veils, and did not show their true faces.

It's just that a person is burly and silent, and the palms spread out on his legs are all iron-blue, and the one standing behind him is also an old acquaintance of Baicheng - Di Feijing!

The other black-robed man was graceful and laughing, obviously a very attractive woman, although she was covered with a black veil, but between a smile and a smile, she still attracted everyone to look at her, even a cold person like Wei Xuan was no exception.

Behind this person stood a young man, his face was as warm as jade, but it was Nangong Ling, a disciple of the Buddhist Sect who fought with Bai Cheng in the White Tiger Inner Camp that day!

Aside from these two black-robed people, the best person sitting at the table was a handsome young man, and in terms of identity alone, he was too far away from the others at the table. But the others at the table don't care about him at all, just because he is a contemporary "supernatural candidate"!

His father is the "No. 1 Swordsman in Jiangnan" Fang Geyin! )
