"I can't compare to the eloquence of the helmsman of Mei, if you can really win the throne of the helmsman this time, then don't forget to get a share of the next piece of the pie. I promise you, no matter what happens today, I will not help you. ”

Mei Huangyu glanced at Wei Li with a smile when he heard this, he knew that if Wei Li could not help each other, that would be the best result.

Looking at the stone pillar in front of him, Mei Huangyu said lightly: "Let's go, let's go to the Leng Toad Palace." ”

Several huge bonfires had been lit in the Leng Toad Palace under the Five Pillars Peak, but for some reason, the originally bright red flames actually showed a faint blue color at this time. The people of the Covering clan guarding in the Leng Toad Palace were far away from the flame, and not only did they not feel half warm next to the flame, but they felt that the blood in their bodies seemed to be frozen.

As soon as Wei Li entered the Leng Toad Palace, he frowned and said, "Sure enough, it's going to change the sky." I've been to this Leng Toad Palace a few times, but I've never seen the same vision as today. ”

Mei Huangyu smiled and said: "I think it's normal, the world only knows that Bai Ze is a saint, but they don't know that there is also a strange beast similar to Bai Ze living in this Leng Toad Palace." ”

Wei Li smiled when he heard this: "This needs the guidance of Master Mei Helm. ”

Mei Huangyu said lightly: "There is a cold toad in this cold toad palace, so it is named cold toad." It is rumored that the cold toad is as big as a millstone, and there is a stone tablet behind it. Every time the dynasty changes and the king comes to the world, the cold toad will come out of the stone tablet, and the name of the king is engraved on the stone tablet. ”

"This statement is unusual, it's the first time I've heard it today, it shouldn't be made up by Lord Mei Helm, right?"

Mei Huangyu laughed and said nothing.

After a while, he said: "Whether it is made up or existed, its meaning is nothing more than to stir people's hearts." ”

Hearing this, Wei Li knocked on the stone wall around him that reflected the faint blue firelight, and he smiled: "Lord Mei Helm has really done enough work today. ”

As soon as Wei Li's words fell, a person came to report: "The two helmsmen of Qiqi, the helmsman of the mountain has sent someone." ”

"Sent someone?"

Hearing this, Mei Huangyu and Wei Li were both a little surprised. Wei Li came to his senses and said with a smile: "The helmsman of the mountain is really a smart person, he should have expected that there would be a fight today, so he stayed out of the matter early." ”

Mei Huangyu smiled and said: "Since he doesn't come, then I will have one less strong opponent." Isn't it beautiful to have the position of chief helmsman at your fingertips? ”

After Mei Huangyu said that, she heard a person at the entrance of the cave laugh and said: "It's long overdue, and I hope that the two helmsmen will forgive their sins." ”

Mei Wei and the others followed the prestige, and the person they saw was a young man wearing a black shirt and a purple jacket on his upper body. And this man turned out to be the shopkeeper of Chengdu Wanli Money Village. In this way, the identity of the owner of the mountain helm is more worthy of speculation.

Mei Huangyu said lightly: "Why are you?"

Shopkeeper Yi smiled and said: "The owner of the helm of the mountain can't come because he is entangled in some mundane things, and he has all the authority to do it for him. ”

After hearing this, Wei Li said with emotion: "Now, it is really the prince who has passed away. I didn't dare to believe it a few days ago, but now I do. At the meeting in this Leng Toad Palace, the three helmsmen did not come, which was placed before, but they didn't dare to think about it. ”

The shopkeeper hugged his fists and said: "I'm really ashamed, I can't hide it, the helmsman of the mountain is because he heard the bad news of the death of the prince, he can't afford to be sick, he really can't withstand this thousands of miles of travel, so he entrusted it, and I hope that the two helmsmen will not be angry with the helmsman of the mountain." ”

Before the Yi shopkeeper's voice fell, he heard Wei Li say quietly: "Killing the son of the murderer, seeking power and power, pretending to be sick, this world, people's hearts are not ancient......" After speaking, Wei Li walked aside and sat on a big stone.

"Lord Guard, this is?"

Mei Huangyu sneered: "He is already crazy, don't pay attention to him." But you, the shopkeeper, can you really replace the helmsman of the mountain?"

Shopkeeper Yi said with a smile: "Master Mei, please rest assured, the helmsman of the mountain has said, every word I say today is what he said, and he will not have any objections to every decision I make." ”

Mei Huangyu smiled: "I hope so." Shopkeeper Yi should know what happened when the three rudders gathered in Leng Toad Palace today, right?"

Shopkeeper Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know this, the helmsman of the mountain asked me to come, so I came." As for what it is, I don't know anything about it. ”

"Oh, the shopkeeper Yi is in Chengdu, so he didn't hear any rumors?"

Shopkeeper Yi smiled: "After all, it's an errand runner in the next place." And under the helmsman of the opening mountain, I am only responsible for taking care of the business, and I am still too busy to do so, so I still have the heart to inquire about other things. ”

Mei Huangyu nodded after hearing this: "Shopkeeper Yi is shrewd and capable, and it is a blessing for the helmsman to be able to get your help." ”

"Lord Mei Helm praised it. ”

Mei Huangyu smiled, and then said, "Since Shopkeeper Yi doesn't know the purpose of the three rudders gathering in Leng Toad Palace today, then I'll tell you." Now that the prince is dead, and there is no one to coordinate the three rudders of the Covering Clan, if such a three-legged thing is maintained for a long time, my Covering Clan will inevitably be separated and collapsed. At that time, the prince's decades of hard work will be ruined, won't he whine and mourn?"

Shopkeeper Yi smiled: "That's true, the country can't be without a king for a day." ”

Mei Huangyu smiled and said, "I wonder if the helmsman of the mountain has the intention of being the chief helmsman?"

Shopkeeper Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Mei Huangyu continued to ask: "Then shopkeeper, do you have a choice of the chief helmsman in your heart?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Yi smiled and said: "Master Mei is making fun of me, I am just a businessman, and I don't care who is the chief helmsman." However, the candidate for the chief helmsman, the prince should have been designated before he died. Otherwise, the Shuzhong Royal Mansion would not have summoned the three rudder lords to gather here. As soon as the envoy of the palace came, the choice of the chief helmsman was determined. ”

Mei Huangyu sneered and said: "It's just a formality, among the three rudders of the Clan, the three thousand rudders are as close as brothers and sisters to my Five Elements Rudder, and the Lord of the Guardian also supports me as the chief helmsman." I would now like to hear what the Treasurer will decide if the royal envoy comes to disagree with me and the Lord of the Guard?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Yi said: "The owner of the helm of the mountain is expected, the three rudders are gathered today, and they are really full of murder." After hesitating for a long time, the shopkeeper Yi spoke: "As a businessman, the decision I make is only to weigh the word interests. If the Mei helm master can lead the development and growth of the Fu clan, then the Mei helm lord will be inclined to the Mei helm master, and the Wei helm master and the Kaishan helm master are also the same. ”

Mei Huangyu frowned slightly when she heard this, Shopkeeper Yi seemed to have said everything, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't say anything. Mei Huangyu couldn't help but secretly curse the words that the owner of the helmsman said to the shopkeeper Yi, and it was meaningless for him to appoint the shopkeeper Yi to replace him. If Mei Huangyu controls the Yi shopkeeper at this time, it will only stimulate the contradiction between the Five Elements Rudder and the Kaishan Rudder, and if he wants to unify the three rudders of the Yi clan, it will be far away. In fact, Mei Huangyu values the most is the Kaishan rudder, in addition to the Kaishan rudder has an intelligence network all over the north and south, its financial resources are even richer than the country, so Mei Huangyu is very concerned about the attitude of the Kaishan rudder.

Just as Mei Huangyu was thinking about how to bring the Yi shopkeeper over, the Yi shopkeeper suddenly said: "Mei Helm Master actually doesn't need to calculate too much, your credit is obvious to all in the whole clan, and the Kaishan Helmsman is also ashamed of himself." Thinking about it, the prince can see it in his eyes, if he doesn't choose you as the chief helmsman, who else will he choose?"

Mei Huangyu sighed when she heard this: "I'm afraid that everything I have done is just useless in the eyes of the prince." ”

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that the messenger of the palace had come. Suddenly, Mei Huangyu and the others cheered up. But to Mei Huangyu's surprise, he actually knew the messenger of the palace, and he was extremely familiar with it.

"You are the messenger of the palace?"

"What's the matter, Lord Mei doesn't believe it?"

Let's see, the two people who entered the Leng Toad Palace were actually Duan Yunlou and the Water Protector. As soon as the water protector heard that Duan Yunlou suddenly became a messenger of the palace, he was also a monk of the second zhang and was confused, but when he saw Duan Yunlou's sworn appearance, he had no choice but to start a round: "Since the last time I came out of the Shaolin Temple, the two of us went to Shuzhou, and the prince specially assigned Duan Saijiu as the person who supported the orphan before he died. ”

Mei Huangyu saw that it was not good, but he had a holiday with Duan Yunlou. Thinking that not long ago, Mei Huangyu saw that Duan Yunlou's prestige in the Five Elements Rudder was getting bigger and bigger, and he was afraid that one day he would be seized power, so he imprisoned Duan Yunlou. If Duan Yunlou is really the envoy of the palace, how can he be good?

Duan Yunlou rubbed her hands, and she said lightly, "How is this Leng Toad Palace so weird today?"

Mei Huangyu said lightly: "I think Duan Saijiu is strange today, I sent a water protector to rescue you from Shaolin Temple that day, but you didn't even return to the rudder, and you didn't even bring back a message." Why did you disappear for a while and become an envoy of the palace?"

Duan Yunlou sneered and laughed: "Lord Mei Helm's words are not right, the water protector rescued me from Shaolin Temple that day, it was because of the prince's letter, not through Lord Mei Helm's order." And when I came to Beimang that day, I was also assigned by the prince. Now that I have become the messenger of the king's house, it is only right. I would like to ask Master Mei at the helm, today is a meeting of the three helms, so why in addition to the two helmsmen, none of the other high-level leaders in the helms have seen here, this is not in accordance with the rules. Could it be that Lord Mei Helm was ready to disobey the prince's last orders, but he was afraid that the high-level leaders in the helm who supported the prince would block him, so Lord Mei Helm didn't let them come?"

Seeing that Duan Yunlou was so aggressive when he came, Mei Huangyu became murderous. At this time, the shopkeeper Yi suddenly said: "Duan Saijiu's words are a bit excessive, Lord Mei Helm is the prince's henchman before his death, how can he disobey the prince's order?"

Duan Yunlou frowned and said, "Your Excellency?"

The shopkeeper Yi smiled and said: "The name of the long-admired Duan sacrificial wine, in Xia Yi Ziguang, today is here to replace the master of the mountain rudder." ”

Duan Yunlou smiled and said, "It seems that the helmsman of the mountain is also afraid of the helmsman of Mei, so he sent a substitute for the dead ghost." ”

Mei Huangyu regained his composure at this time, and he said lightly: "You said that you are the envoy of the palace, so do you have a token in your hand?"

Duan Yunlou listened to it and chuckled: "If Lord Mei Helm questions my identity, then you can go out and take a look, I and the Water Protector came on a thousand-mile horse raised by the palace, and the horse of the palace, Lord Mei Helm will not know each other, right?"

The Water Protector was shocked when he heard this, and he began to think that Duan Yunlou had robbed the horses of the two diners in the tavern just to make it easier for him to travel. But he didn't expect that Duan Yunlou would see that the two horses were the horses of the palace. But in this case, aren't the two diners in the tavern the real palace envoys?

As soon as Mei Huangyu heard Duan Yunlou say, he went straight out of the Leng Toad Palace, and when he came back, his face was gloomy and he was about to drip water. There are twenty-three horses in the palace, each of which has a resounding name, and the other horses cannot be faked.

Duan Yunlou saw Mei Huangyu's embarrassed face, and couldn't help but smile: "Master Mei, do you still have doubts?"

Mei Huangyu said lightly when she heard this: "It's just a few or two horses, even if you come out of the palace, it doesn't prove that you are the messenger appointed by the prince." ”

Yi Ziguang nodded and said, "I also agree with Lord Mei Helm, so it is too hasty to determine the identity of Duan Sacrifice Wine." ”

Duan Yunlou smiled: "Of course, I ...... here" Speaking of this, Duan Yunlou paused. Suddenly, she took out a letter from her shirt: "I still have a handwritten letter from the prince before his death." ”

Hearing this, Mei Huangyu and Yi Ziguang both looked like they were stunned, and even Wei Li, who was sitting on the stone and playing with the jade flute in his hand, couldn't help but stop the movements in his hands.

Mei Huang Yu smiled and said, "Since there is a book written by the prince, why don't you bring it to me and others to circulate it?"

Duan Yunlou said with a smile: "What is the urgency of Lord Mei, when I finish reading the contents of the letter, I will let a few helmsmen verify the authenticity of this letter." ”

With that, Duan Yunlou opened the envelope and slowly pulled out the stationery in the envelope. Seeing that Duan Yunlou was so unhurried, Mei Huangyu's heart was about to rise to her throat.

After a long while, Duan Yunlou opened the letter and read: "This king likes to be a teacher the most, and Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's belief in dying is really admirable. Although Liu Xuande was in order to avenge his brother's revenge, he lost his halberd and sank Shadong Wu, but he not only thought of siblings in his heart, but also remembered the restoration of the Han Dynasty. I am the same, this go to the north, this king not only wants to hold the revenge of the two royal brothers who died in Beimang, but also to restore my Song family and return the innocence of the world. But by nature, this king has never thought of winning first, but thinking of defeat first. As the saying goes, plan ahead. For this reason, this king writes this letter. This king's life's work is reflected in the clan. This king knows that the three helmsmen of the Woo clan are all handsome people with great talents. If this king is not half of the business, and the middle way collapses. These three helmsmen will definitely fight openly and secretly for power. In order not to ruin the king's life's work, therefore, the king specially designated Duan Yunlou as the chief helmsman of the clan. The three helmsmen must assist him like Zhuge Kongming, recuperate and recuperate, and wait for the future to grow. ”

Although Duan Yunlou did not have the slightest true qi cultivation, she was full of the middle qi of this belief, and her loud voice fell firmly into the ears of nearly a thousand people of the Covering Clan in the Leng Toad Palace. Half a day after he finished his belief, there were still lingering voices in this huge cold toad palace.

Duan Yunlou first handed the letter to the shopkeeper Yi, and she said lightly: "I followed the orders of the prince to come to Beimang that day, and the purpose was to supervise the actions and daily operation of the three rudders. But I didn't expect that Lord Mei Helm would leave me at the Five Elements Helm to do things for yourself for the sake of his own selfishness. After that, the helmsman of Mei feared that I had shaken your position as the helmsman, and imprisoned me again. But fortunately, the prince Mingjian gave me a fair time in advance. ”

Mei Huangyu's hand holding the letter paper was trembling slightly, and the shopkeeper Yi said: "I have heard of the method of sacrificing wine in the next year, if you can be the chief helmsman of the Woo clan, it will also be a blessing for the Shaw clan, and I have no objection to opening the rudder." ”

After hearing this, Duan Yunlou glanced at Wei Li and said, "Lord Wei Helm, what about you?"

Wei Li said lightly: "Since it is the prince's order, then I dare not disobey." ”

Duan Yunlou moved her gaze to Mei Huangyu's body at this time, she looked at Mei Huangyu for a long time and said with a smile: "Master Mei Helm, after reading this letter, do you say this is the handwriting of the prince?"

When Mei Huangyu heard this, he handed the letter back to Duan Yunlou, and he chuckled: "It is indeed the handwriting of the prince, there is no doubt." ”

"Then you shouldn't disobey the prince's orders, right?"

"Naturally not, but ......"

Suddenly, I only heard the sound of "whoosh" two sounds breaking the air. Mei Huangyu suddenly stretched out her hand, pinched the two cold arrows that were about to brush Duan Yunlou's ears, and continued: "However, some brothers in the clan don't seem to understand the prince's orders. For them, a woman who should have stayed at home and had children must not be allowed to be the helmsman. ”

The Water Protector protected Duan Yunlou under the crook of his arm, and when Wei Li saw this, he also rushed over with Xiao, he frowned and said: "Master Mei, now that the overall situation has been decided, you better put away those calculations." ”

Mei Huangyu shook her head and said: "Lord Wei Helm, at this time, do you have to fight a rake, let the helmsman carry this black pot for you? Only then can the helmsman see clearly, the person who shot the cold arrow is your subordinate of the three thousand helms." ”

Shopkeeper Yi said coldly: "There are many people here, and there are dangers, so it's better to escort Miss Duan out first, and open the way ahead." ”

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, more than a dozen masked black shadows jumped out from all directions. Seeing this, Shopkeeper Yi waved his hand casually, and actually threw out a sharp and incomparable sword qi, and as soon as the sword qi came out, two black-clothed people were cut off their heads.

Seeing this, Mei Huangyu said in her heart: "It is worthy of being a disciple of Li Minji, and his kendo cultivation is extraordinary. ”

And looking at Wei Li again, he was already alone with seven or eight black-clothed people. Only the water protector was standing by Duan Yunlou's side every inch, his eyes were firmly fixed on Mei Huangyu, closely watching Mei Huangyu's every move.

Mei Huangyu shook her head and said, "Water Protector, you really don't have any old feelings for me, the old helmsman. ”

Hearing this, the Water Protector smiled and said, "The helmsman is too careful, I'm just doing my duty." ”
