While speaking, Zhang Wuxi had already reached out and pressed on Xu Beiyou's heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The next moment, the god-destroying arrow qi that was forcibly suppressed by Xu Beiyou suddenly burst out, and there were black lines surging wildly under the skin, hideous and terrifying.

Xu Beiyou's face turned pale and bloodless again.

Zhang Wuxi absorbed all these qi machines into Xu Beiyou's heart, and then made a grasping action, and these qi machines were actually grabbed by him from Xu Beiyou's body.

A cloud of black mist-like qi was suspended in Zhang Wuxi's palm, tumbling endlessly.

Zhang Wuxi clenched his fists, and the black mist in his palm instantly dissipated into invisibility.

Xu Beiyou coughed a few times and began to run the Dragon and Tiger Dan Dao to reconcile his qi.

Zhang Wuxi said slowly: "Although I have been in Buddhism for a few years, I am not good at curing diseases and saving people, fortunately, this time it is only an eighth-rank god-destroying arrow, if it is replaced by the first few ranks, I can only watch you die." ”

After Xu Beiyou finished his work, he gently wiped the blood on his face with his fingers, "The Dark Guard Mansion is really unfathomable. ”

Zhang Wuxian said calmly: "Actually, you didn't catch up with a good time, when your ancestor Shangguan Xianchen was alive, even Emperor Dazheng of the previous dynasty had to be honored as Mr., and a Secret Guard Mansion really can't be compared with the Sword Sect." ”

"It's all in the past. Xu Beiyou muttered: "The glory of the past has finally become a cloud of the past, and today's wealth has to rely on myself." ”

Zhang Wuxian said with a smile: "This is not right or wrong, such as today's big game of chess, there are very few chess players, and other people, whether they are free immortals or first-class Qing Xiang, are all chess pieces in the hands of chess players, you and I are chess pieces of the same color, not alone." ”

Xu Beiyou asked with some curiosity: "Who is the chess player?"

Zhang Wuxian sighed softly: "This is not an ordinary chess game played by two people, but a game of multi-person scuffle, and now there are His Majesty the Emperor and the real person in charge of the official chess, the King of the Grassland Khan is a half, but he has not yet fully entered the game, as for the King of Wei, the founder of the Later State, the host of Buddhism and others, they are chess watchers standing outside the chessboard, and it is difficult to say whether there is a chess watch and is silent." ”

Xu Beiyou said: "Watching chess is not a true gentleman, but a gentleman can't be the emperor's hegemony, and anyone who can be the master of a country and a place will not be a gentleman." ”

Zhang Wuxian smiled and did not deny Xu Beiyou's words, "There are also two kinds of chess pieces, one is the chess pieces on the chessboard, and the other is the chess pieces in the chess box, I was originally in Buddhism, that is the chess pieces in the chess box, but after I decided to return to the imperial court, I became a chess piece on the chessboard, and after I officially took office as the governor of the Northwest Army, the chess pieces took root, and there was no room for regret." ”

Xu Beiyou nodded in agreement: "The chessboard and chess box, inside and outside the game, is said thoroughly." ”

Zhang Wuxian looked at Xu Beiyou and pointed to his face.

Xu Beiyou's fingers gently brushed the wound on his face, and a gloom swept through his eyes.

Zhang Wuxi asked, "Do you still remember our original agreement?"

Xu Beiyou smiled heartily: "Naturally, I don't dare to forget, you said that there is something you want in my wife's East Lake Annex." ”

Zhang Wuxi said flatly: "That thing is actually a person's whereabouts." ”

"Who?" asked Xu Beiyou directly.

Zhang Wuxian hesitated slightly, but still said word by word: "Tang Shengyue." ”

Xu Beiyou was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Not long ago, I saw her in Shendu, stepped on the moon, and rescued me and Lu Pu, the descendant of the Lu family, but left me in Huizhou, and I didn't know where to go with Lu Pu. What, is she also in Jiangdu?"

Zhang Wuxi, who was decisive on the battlefield, was a little hesitant, and said to himself: "She, it should be in Jiangdu, when she crossed the river and fought Dingding, people from all walks of life came one after another, and the casualties were heavy. ”

"Emperor Wuzu Xiao Lie opened more than a thousand battles against Shangguan Xianchen, who was holding Zhu Xianchen, and finally died of exhaustion, and then Shangguan Xianchen fought against the sword of the Son of Heaven who was engulfed by the general trend of the world with a sword of thirty-five, and he also died of exhaustion. Xu Hongru, the deputy sect leader of the White Lotus Sect, died at the hands of the Great True Person, Qingchen was injured and fled after being defeated by the Great True Person, and even Fu Chen, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, who was second only to Shangguan Xianchen in the realm of the year, also died in this battle. ”

"At that time, whether it was your master Gongsun Zhongmou or the current head of the Dao Sect Qiuye, there was not much room for interference, and she and I were even more so, so I didn't know her whereabouts in the future, I only knew that she was still alive and inherited the mantle of the White Lotus Sect. ”

Xu Beiyou asked, "What if my wife doesn't know?"

Zhang Wuxian shook his head and said: "Zhang Xueyao must know that as early as the reign of Dazheng Shenzong, the two of them have already known each other, and they can be regarded as close friends, and the two have been in a similar situation over the years, one is a remnant of the Sword Sect, the other is a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, and they are both fallen people at the end of the world, so there is no reason not to get along with each other." ”

Xu Beiyou hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "I heard that this White Lotus Sect Leader had some unexplained entanglements with Emperor Xiao back then, I don't know if there is a sentence that should be asked?"

Zhang Wuxi seemed to have expected it, and said softly: "Don't ask me what my relationship is with her, I just want to see her before I go to the northwest to take root." ”

Xu Beiyou looked at him deeply, and then nodded slightly, "I know." ”

――

Since last winter, the Donghu Annex, located outside the city of Jiangdu, has been hung with white silk curtains, white lanterns, and couplets with black letters on a white background.

Many wanderers passing by here have speculated, look at the pomp and circumstance of this mansion, most of them are the old man in this house is gone, but I don't see the young master in this house come out to take charge, at most, I occasionally see a few old servants and maids, is there only an old lady left in the house?

In the spring rain season of the twenty-first year of Chengping, a drizzle of cattle drizzle came unexpectedly, white fine rain shrouded the East Lake and the courtyard by the lake, countless raindrops splashed a layer of white mist after falling, connected into a piece, and finally only a white mist was left between heaven and earth.

In the white mist, the black tiles on the roof are particularly bright, looming in the rain and mist, and the rainwater on the tiles gathers into a thin stream of water, hanging down the corners along the eaves, hanging down the silver thin lines.

It is like the person in the painting is dressed in white, holding a white oil-paper umbrella, and in this white rain and mist, he walks into the East Lake Courtyard full of vegetarians.

A woman who was also dressed in white greeted her personally, but there was still some difference between the two in white after all. The white clothes of the person holding the umbrella are as clean as white clouds, bright as the day, and the outside is shrouded in a light veil, like a dream. The white clothes of the owner of the other courtyard are extremely white mourning clothes.

The two women came hand in hand to the glazed pavilion of the back house, warmed a pot of hot tea, and talked about the private words between the women in the light spring rain outside the pavilion.

The two of them do this almost every year.

The woman in white held a teacup in both hands and blew lightly on the mist, "Back then, Xiao Yu and Master Du Ming led people to rush in here and capture the two of us. Decades have passed, Xiao Yu and Master Du Ming have passed away, but you and I are still in this world, which is really a blessing. ”

The woman in mourning clothes said softly: "Whether it is a relative of the emperor or an ordinary family, the man who is in charge of the family always leaves first, and only one woman is left alone in this world." ”

The woman in white took a sip of hot tea and said flatly: "Because of this, you and I can be the masters of the house, if those men are still in the world, where will we be the turn." That kid is about to arrive in Jiangnan, what are you going to do?"

The woman in mourning clothes looked at the rain curtain outside, "Zhong Mou and I don't have any children, since this child is Zhong Mou's descendant disciple, then I will regard him as my own child and hand over the family business left by Zhong Mou to him." ”

The woman in white who was drinking tea frowned slightly, "Have you thought clearly? You have been at odds with Gongsun Zhongmou for so many years, why are you giving in again?"

Zhang Xueyao retracted her gaze, waved her hand to dispel the fog in front of her, and said softly: "Fight, it also depends on who you fight with, how can I, as an elder, be embarrassed to fight with a child." And don't always talk about me, you are so old, don't you firmly hold on to the White Lotus Sect? This time, I rescued the child of the Lu family again, and I am simply a virtue with Gongsun Zhongmou, in this regard, we can't compare to Lin Yinping, the great authority of a country, say let go, let go, don't be the queen mother of the curtain who leans towards the government and the opposition, but followed Xiao Yu into the Meishan Imperial Mausoleum, no wonder Xiao Yu chose her to be the queen in the first place. ”

The words between women are always inevitable, and between this back and forth, Tang Shengyue lost slightly, but she didn't think about winning back a city now, after all, the coming day is long, and she turned to say: "Let's get down to business, calculate the time, the position of the governor of Jiangnan will be changed soon, but Qin Mumian is also about to come back from Houjian, let's agree on a few candidates, or let her come forward to talk to Xiao Xuan?"

Zhang Xueyao nodded.

The world doesn't know that the real behind-the-scenes ruler of Jiangdu is not the head of Jiangnan Daomen, nor the Southern Ghost Emperor of the Demon Suppression Palace, nor the local three divisions of the yamen, but three gorgeous women.

Qin Mumian, Tang Shengyue, Zhang Xueyao.
