Zihe Zhenren found a short hair on the table, held it in his hand, and sighed: "Even you have left me, I admit, among the withered hair, you are not my favorite one, but you are not the most hated, why do you want to cut yourself off? Although this skin is old, how can it also be your home, and you are indispensable for two or three meals a day." From now on, you will only drift with the wind, once you were worshipped, now you will be dusty and trampled on. ”

As soon as the real person let go, the hair fell onto the table, and with a flick of his hand, it finally floated slowly to the ground in an elegant manner.

The real person stared at it until he couldn't see clearly, then looked up and smiled at the apprentice, "Monks are the smartest, they shave their hair early, and they don't have to suffer from hair loss." ”

"Yes......" Zhou Yuqing replied vaguely, feeling uneasy in his heart, the old fairy's behavior became more and more strange, this trip down the mountain, he seemed to leave the immortal body in Kongtong Mountain, only brought out a secular face, the old fairy's words made him even more uneasy, which seemed to imply a point, "Zhou Huaiyu is a fool, I will go to him tomorrow to ......"

"What are you looking for him?" the real person looked surprised.

"Let him make amends to the old immortal, he actually disobeyed the orders of the head of the sect in front of so many outer sects. ”

The real person shook his head, and even felt a little ridiculous about the indignation of closing the door, so he showed a sly expression, "But I didn't give him an order?"

"In Chengjiazhuang...... You are not ......" Zhou Yuqing became more and more unable to keep up with the old fairy's train of thought, and he had a feeling that the master seemed to be deliberately teasing himself, like a bored grandfather teasing his little grandson.

"That's my request, not an order. It is a grave sin to disobey orders, and it is a fault not to obey the requirements, and it would be nice to have time to scold him. ”

Of course, Zhou Yuqing hopes that his younger brother will not be punished, but he is a big ** in the prison gate, and he knows what the results of opening the net will bring, "Anyway, Huaiyu makes the old immortal's face dull in public, and this wind cannot be promoted, otherwise, where are the rules of the Kongtong faction? ”

"Well, you have a point, not necessarily true, but it makes sense. ”

This is the typical way of speaking of Zihe Zhenren, the words seem to be praise, and there is ridicule, but the innocent smile on his face shows that he knows nothing about it.

Zhou Yuqing was very helpless, he could only regard this as a common problem of the elderly, and also as a test for himself, he wanted to be a "filial son" before the bed of a long illness, so his demeanor became more and more respectful, "I will let Huaiyu realize his mistake, he is still young, and he doesn't understand that the sect is much more important than the so-called friends." ”

The real person nodded in agreement, "He was scared a lot last night, so don't scare him anymore." ”

"Yes. Zhou Yuqing reluctantly replied, the old fairy has always been fond of the Zhou brothers, but he has been a little too fond of it recently.

"Speaking of friends, it's been so long since you've been in the capital, why didn't you invite Songshan to send Ji Xiaowu over to play?"

Zhou Yuqing's face was slightly red, "We...... Broke up. ”

"Why?"

"Ji Fuwei is not a friend enough, and he didn't hint at me in advance if he had something, but instead joined forces with outsiders to deal with the Kongtong faction, and also acted as a lobbyist for the heads of each faction. ”

"Well, it's a bit excessive, just because of this, you broke off your friendship with Ji Xiaowu?"

"Exactly, this kind of half-hearted friend doesn't want to be, because his name is 'helping the needy', and when it comes to danger, there is no hope at all. ”

The real person sat there in a daze, thinking to himself that the old man had a lot of wisdom, why was his mind empty? Finally, he came up with an idea, and a smug smile appeared on his face, "Apprentice, I ask you a question, and you have to answer it honestly." ”

"Yes, ** I would never dare to say anything in front of the old immortals. ”

"If you and Ji Xiaowu are still best friends, and there is a conflict between the Kongtong faction and the Songshan faction, and I have to slap him in the mouth in public, will you notify him in advance and let him hide?"

"Of course not, it's a matter of the interests of my family, and no one can let me betray it, but this is different from what happened a few days ago, Ji Fuwei ......"

The real person shook his hand, indicating that he still had something to say, "Apprentice, you are also a big boss, you should always understand a truth, multiple friends have many roads, but you can't ask your friends to block your own roads because of this, the water is clear, there are no fish, you are too demanding of your friends, and you will become a loner in the end." Sooner or later, you will be the head of the Kongtong faction, and you will even have the opportunity to compete for the leader of the martial arts alliance -- although this title is not very useful, but it still sounds good -- will you be pointed at by your fellow martial arts people when the time comes? Are you willing to lose the support of the Songshan faction before the competition has even begun?"

Zhou Yuqing's face turned even redder, "**......**Understood." ”

"You understand, but you haven't accepted it yet, I'll say a few more words. The real person was complacent about his "wisdom", and even a little excited, "You must understand that people don't just make friends with you because your name is Zhou Yuqing, you can't choose friends based on your personal likes and dislikes, you are the future of the Kongtong faction, and you must always judge right and wrong from the position of the Kongtong faction." ”

Zhou Yu cleared a cold sweat and knelt down on his knees, "**I know it's wrong." ”

"Actually, these truths will naturally be understood when you become the head, but it is not a bad thing to understand them early. ”

"I'll teach Zhou Huaiyu a lesson tomorrow, by the way...... Reconcile with Ji Fuwei. ”

"Well, he'll be happy to tell him...... The guests came. ”

Zhou Yuqing hurriedly got up, pushed the door, and saw Gu Shenwei standing outside, he didn't like this kind of trespass in his heart, thinking of the old fairy's teachings just now, he immediately drove away his emotions, and said in a very polite tone: "Gu Gongzi came as promised, the old fairy has been waiting for a long time, please come in." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded at him, walked into the room, and found that Zihe Zhenren was fiddling with the wig on his head and asking it to be more straight.

"Here you are, sit down, you're busy this day. ”

Gu Shenwei sat opposite and didn't speak, the real person understood the meaning of this silence, and pointed to Zhou Yuqing at the door with a smile, "I won't live long, after I die, he will cry and take over my position, so if you want to have a long-term relationship with the Kongtong faction, let him stay and participate in the conversation between us." ”

Gu Shenwei spoke, ignoring Zihe's real person's weird wigs and inappropriate words, hoping to look directly at the most real head of the Kongtong faction, "The real person wants to see me, I'm here." ”

"Oh yes, I brought you here, eh...... What happened? Come to think of it, do you know who invited the Ten Directions Sect to the Central Plains?"

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "This is exactly what I want to investigate." ”

"Hehe, don't investigate, I know. ”

"Oh?" Gu Shenwei didn't believe it, Zhou Yuqing was even more surprised, the old immortal hadn't gone out all day, and he hadn't seen outsiders visit, how could he know the mastermind behind the Ten Directions Sect?

"Actually, it's also an acquaintance of the Dragon King, who currently lives in the Northern Frontier, and is a woman, you should guess who it is, right?"

"Beiting Xiao Yanshi. ”

"That's right, it's her, this is a very ambitious woman, and she loves to hold grudges, you must have provoked her back then, she had to ask for your head, so she united with the Ten Directions Sect. If Ci Zhisheng can bring back your head, Xiao Yan will lend him 10,000 cavalry, and will also introduce him to the chiefs of the steppe tribes. ”

"How do real people know about these things?"

"You have a bunch of little things to gather intelligence, and I have it too. Zihe Zhenren winked mischievously, "Just kidding, it was the Empress Dowager who sent someone to tell me, she felt that this was an opportunity, the more trouble the Ten Directions Sect has, the better, as long as the Yulin Army can't suppress it, the general Pang Ning can lead the troops back to Beijing, but the strength of the Ten Directions Sect is too weak, and I still need your help." Luo Qicang was killed by you, and they can no longer say that Luo Jiazhuang has no personal enmity with you, so let go of your hands and feet. ”

"What are you doing with your hands and feet?" Gu Shenwei pretended to be confused.

"Killing people or something. The real person said very bluntly, raised his right hand, made a slashing motion, and then looked up and asked Zhou Yuqing, "Do you still use this gesture on the rivers and lakes now?"

"It has never changed. Zhou Yuqing said, looking very serious.

Gu Shenwei thought for a while, "With Luo Pingying here, I can't let go of my hands and feet, his internal strength and swordsmanship are a little stronger than mine, as long as I add a helper, I will definitely lose." ”

"You also have a helper, that Huo Yun, to be honest, it is because she is too strong that Ci and I will be deceived, thinking that she is you. ”

"She was injured and couldn't get out of bed for a few days. ”

"Oh, that's not a coincidence. The real person scratched his head and said, looking at the apprentice, "Originally, the Kongtong faction should have helped, but we don't have a deep grudge against Luojiazhuang, so it's not easy to come forward, and the most important thing is that my apprentice's martial arts are not good enough." ”

Zhou Yuqing's face turned red again, and he secretly made up his mind that no matter how busy the sect's affairs were, he would also find time to practice in the future.

Gu Shenwei bypassed this topic and said directly: "Yan Qin was poisoned to death by his most trusted subordinate today, a little yellow man named Zhang You. ”

"'Most trusted' is always harmful. "The real person said as if it were pure small talk.

Zhang You confessed that this was an order given directly to him by the Queen Mother. ”

"Possibly. "The real person is not surprised at all," the Queen Mother has been dissatisfied with Yan Qin for a long time. ”

"But what does it mean to wait until I come to visit?"

"Hehe, Gu Gongzi is suspicious, but your suspicions are reasonable, alas, the old man can't understand the old lady's thoughts. ”

Zhou Yuqing wanted to rush up and cover the mouth of the old fairy, and glanced back nervously, the master just said that the queen mother had sent someone to deliver the news, but he didn't see it, maybe the eyeliner in the palace was still hiding nearby.

"Pang Jing is making an appointment to meet the Queen Mother for me. Gu Shenwei couldn't see any flaws in Zihe's real person, this eighty-year-old man hid his true face in the most frank way, "I have a hunch that Pang Jing will be rejected, so I want to ask the real person for help." ”

"It's a bit too early to see the Queen Mother now, isn't it? It's only been four days since the deadline of ten days. ”

"It's better to see late than early, if the Queen Mother and I can clear up the misunderstanding, it will be a great encouragement to me, I have the bottom of my heart, and I can let go of my hands and feet. ”

"Hmm...... Then I'll try, I can't judge women with common sense, so I don't make any guarantees. ”

Gu Shenwei nodded, in fact, his real purpose was to enter the palace, but Yan Qin saw him in his private residence, he thought that the queen mother would not leave the palace in a small way. (To be continued.) )
