But the simple answer is that it is simply impossible.

"Lieutenant Cheng, can the close-fitting soft armor block the sword of the Chengtian swordsman?" Pei Du is fifty-two years old this year, at the end of the golden years of his life, although his hair is gray, but his spirit is still full, compared to Han Gang's twilight, Cheng Qili's gloom, Pei Du is undoubtedly the most energetic one in the political hall.

"And I'm here. Cheng Qili sighed: "I'm also the second master in the palace." ”

"Pei is still a member of the clan of the Great Yu Sword Saint Pei Xingjian, when was the last time you fought with someone? Not to mention that it was Yue Guhan."

Pei Du and Cheng Qili are both old men who came from the era of the God Emperor, and they are very familiar with each other, and they can let go of jokes.

"Your Majesty, I have read the records compiled by the Jingzhao Mansion, the Privy Council, and the Prison Envoy. Pei Du adjusted his tone, he looked at Li Xu and continued: "Yue Guhan slashed Balutosa's sword, according to the confessions of the people present at the time, the distance between him and the Manichaean sect was thirty steps, fifty steps, one hundred steps, and so on. Even according to the last thirty steps, as long as His Majesty and Yue Guhan have passed thirty steps, His Majesty's safety cannot be guaranteed. ”

Li Xu shook his head, in the face of a master like Yue Guhan, don't say thirty steps, is it a hundred steps to ensure his safety? So he simply decided to gamble, some risks are worth taking.

"Back then, the Three Saints and Seven Sects were evaluated on the rivers and lakes, and the evaluation of Yue Guhan was not high, and the ranking was relatively low, who would have thought that he would have such skills. Han Gang's eyes swept over the emperor, Pei Du, and Cheng Qili one by one.

"Such a master, who has lived in seclusion in the city for more than ten years, just asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, abandons the small and does not take it, and there must be a big picture. ”

The people in the rivers and lakes say that they are holding sharp knives and have murderous intentions. Yue Guhan took the sharpest sword in the world and hid in Bai Yujing and didn't ask about the world, so what he was asking for was by no means as simple as being the best in swordsmanship and the first in the world.

"A man can only know where he is going if he knows where he is going. Han Gang stroked the gray beard on his chest, and his firm and calm voice reminded everyone in the political hall who was the one at the helm of this dynasty.

"Your Majesty, if you want to elaborate on the origin and context of the Chengtian Swordsman, Pei Xiang and Lieutenant Cheng may not remember much, but the old minister understands that there was no such character as Yue Guhan in the rivers and lakes earlier. ”

Pei Du and Cheng Qili glanced at each other, they both had too many labels from the God Emperor Era, which was also the biggest difference between them and Han Gang.

"The rivers and lakes pay attention to a heritage, and the master who became famous as a teenager is not from a famous family, then he has a master or has no adventure. To say that this Mr. Yue, when he just became famous, it happened to be when Weichen served as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu. Han Gang slowly recounted the origin of his relationship with Yue Guhan.

The seat of the Huainan Jiedu envoy is in Yangzhou, and the land of Huainan under its jurisdiction has been the land of abundant fish and rice since ancient times.

At that time, the head of the Taiping Road was called Lin Zongzhi, they believed in the Taiping Road in Huang Taiyi, since the Later Han Dynasty has always wanted to make trouble, but the previous dynasties have not succeeded, this Lin Zongzhi believes that Huainan is the place where the imperial court's wealth and fortune depend, if you can take Huainan completely, you can change the dynasty. ”

The Taiping Dao Rebellion, Li Xu remembered, at that time it was the moment when the God Emperor was about to ascend the throne, Han Gang was not happy in Bai Yujing, and was squeezed down from the position of the ruler, Taiping Dao was in chaos in Huainan, and the local chaos was not good.

So he sent Han Gang out to be the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, not so much to send him to quell the rebellion, but to let him go there to top the cylinder. If there is another incident in the appointment of the Huainan Jiedu envoy, the political enemies in Beijing will just take advantage of the topic to make Han Gang completely finished.

As a result, Han Gang went to Huainan to take office, and in less than half a year, he completely suppressed the chaos in Taiping Dao, and then became an indispensable pillar of Dayu through the rectification of Caoyun.

"Lin Zongzhi is different from the previous bandits, he did not cut wood as a soldier, unveiled the pole as a banner, led the believers to drink Fu water and the army of the imperial court to fight for power, probably absorbing the lessons of the previous generation, this new great sage and good teacher adopted a new way. ”..

He sent the masters of the sect to assassinate the county commanders, county lieutenants, and Cao soldiers sent by the imperial court to the counties, and Weichen arrived in Huainan for less than a month, and there was not even a living county order in Huainan, and the county government was empty, and the place was in chaos. ”

What's even worse is that at that time, it was just in time for the Huai Shui to be raging, several counties were flooded, and there were hungry people everywhere, but Weichen couldn't even find officials who could transport food to help the victims, and the situation was dangerous. ”

Li Xu was worried in his heart, such an assassination method is indeed terrifying, within a few days, all the county orders were assassinated, although the county orders are the most basic level in the bureaucratic system, but if this level is completely eliminated by people like a storm, then the ruling order will only collapse.

However, it didn't take long for the situation to stabilize a little bit, and Wei Chen knew that there was a young swordsman named Yue Guhan, who fought against the great sage and good teacher Lin Zongzhi in the rainy night, and the two fought a thousand tricks before they narrowly defeated Lin Zongzhi and took his life. ”

"That was the battle in which Yue Guhan became famous, and before that battle, there was no Yue Guhan on the rivers and lakes. ”

Wei Chen never told anyone about this matter, and Wei Chen sent someone to save Yue Gu Han at that time. Han Gang said: "At that time, Weichen thought that Lin Zongzhi was the leader of the faction after all, and after he died, the henchmen would definitely avenge him, so he sent his henchmen to save Yue Guhan, and used him as bait to kill all the Taiping Dao masters. ”

Li Xu felt a chill in the back of his head, and only a few words, but what kind of poisonous tactics did this Han Lao Linggong use to kill all the masters of the faction, and it was much more ruthless than borrowing the hands of the Jianghu people to destroy Jing Shenghui.

Out of curiosity about this person, Wei Chen sent his henchmen to investigate the young swordsman's past in detail. ”

Pei Du and Cheng Qili looked at Han Gang, they were also quite powerful and powerful, and they were also quite conceited about their wisdom and skills, and they also knew the information of the masters on the rivers and lakes, but they had never heard of such an important past of the Chengtian Sword Sect.

"This investigation was really startled, my confidant family checked all the way according to Mr. Yue's whereabouts, and finally found out to him that this Mr. Yue actually came in from outside the customs, and as soon as he entered the customs, he went straight to Huainan without saying a word, and it seemed that he was going to this Lin Da Sect Master. ”

"There's one thing I've always kept in mind," Han Gang's words made a cold cloud of doubt condense in the air in the political hall. "According to my family's report, he searched all the way out, and finally learned that the first stop of this Mr. Yue's appearance in the world was a small town in the Bohai Kingdom, and there was also a Manichaean figure who appeared with him, this person ......"

"Isn't it Balutosa?" Cheng Qili couldn't bear it and suddenly interjected.

"It is Balutosa, and thanks to this Manichaean Pope, Weichen can find out more clearly. Because compared to Mr. Yue, who was unknown at that time, Balutosa was also a figure at that time, and he happened to be the head of Manichaeism in Bai Yujing, and he was in charge. ”

"Yue Guhan is a secret son of Manichaeism?" Li Xu's first thought was this possibility.

Idle chess with your hand

Wechen thought the same thing at first, but there was one more thing. Han Gang's eyes looked at the roof of the political affairs hall, as if he was about to penetrate this barrier and see above the blue sky.

Just a month before Mr. Yue entered the customs, the head of the Manichaean religion mysteriously disappeared in Baiyujing, and there was a big storm at that time. When Balutosa returned, the Manichaean community questioned him carefully as to why he had disappeared, saying that he had been summoned by Manichae. ”

"Bohai Kingdom is manipulating behind the scenes?" Cheng Qili put forward another bold idea, but he quickly overturned his idea, if the Bohai Kingdom had the ability to cultivate a head of the Seven Sects with one hand and a Manichaean sect with the other, it would have already ruled the world.

"Of course it's not Bohai Kingdom, Wechen became curious, and then Balutosa, Wechen guessed that Yue Guhan was from Baiyujing, and then checked carefully, there was an evil young man named Yue Qi in Baiyujing, who happened to be missing a month ago, and now his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Han Gang explained Yue Guhan's life experience, and then continued.

Later, Yue Gu Han's sword tried the world, and he picked up the best players who used swords all over the world, and the people in the rivers and lakes said that his martial arts were great luck and won the appreciation of the peerless masters in the hidden world, and trained him into such a master. ”

"But in fact, it has something to do with his disappearance back then, and it has something to do with Balutosa?" Li Xu stroked the dragon-shaped pattern on the chair handle, and inadvertently emitted a lot of sawdust.

"Your Majesty, we are the imperial court, and what the imperial court has done is to resist the barbarians externally, calm the chaos internally, build water conservancy, provide relief to the victims, the roads are peaceful, and the Haiyan River is clear. There is no need to delve too deep into how complex those Jianghu people are. Han Gang stroked his beard and said: "No matter what kind of adventures Yue Guhan and Balustosa had, they later became the Pope of Manichaeism in their own right, and the other lived in seclusion in Bai Yujing and did not ask about the world, Weichen thought that they were probably Taoist saints. ”

"Dao Sheng?"

"Most of what they ask for is not fame and fortune in the world. ”

Li Xu frowned, Han Gang always said so much, he couldn't understand what this Zhongshu Ling was talking about.

"Life is in the world, and the grass and trees are autumn. Han Gang smiled meaningfully: "A master, wealth is not moved, women are not sexual, fame and fortune are regarded as dust, I think he wants to become an immortal." ”

Become an immortal?

As soon as Han Gang said this, not only Li Xu, but also Pei Du and Cheng Qili laughed out loud, but with a smile and a smile, the three of them couldn't laugh.

"Count all the armor, Lieutenant Cheng, since you are an immortal, you don't need to get these wrists. Li Xu sighed. "I want to see what kind of god he is, and what he is asking for. ”
