Gongsun Zhongmou ranked eighth on the Tianji list before his death, which is not a top ranking, but this ranking eighth has a premise, that is, he does not use Zhu Xian. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gongsun Zhongmou, who does not have Zhu Xian, and Gongsun Zhongmou, who holds Zhu Xian, are two concepts, the former may not be Murong Xuanyin's opponent, but the latter can discourage Murong Xuanyin, and even compete with Qiu Ye.

Putting aside Zhuxian, in terms of cultivation alone, the one ranked after Gongsun Zhongmou is Kunshan Zhang Zhaonu.

Zhang Zhaonu this person, although he was born in Kunshan, but a body of cultivation is not from the way of Kunshan, but inherited from the ancient period of the way of the refiner, good at absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth for the use, his own qi machine can destroy the mountains and mountains, there is a legend that he once encountered a thousand zhang high tornado when the tide was on the East China Sea, and the power of the air vent alone can be hard to shake the power of the sky and stand still.

Just like the Sword Sect that produced a Shangguan Immortal Dust back then, one sect master can be worth half of the sect.

Xu Beiyou tapped lightly on the table with his finger and said, "I have long heard that Zhang Zhaonu has a long-cherished wish, that is, to follow my Shangguan ancestor and push Kunshan into the ranks of the nine sects in the world with his own strength, and his ambition is not small. ”

Chu Tiankuo nodded and said: "In the past few years, Kunshan has relied on Zhang Zhaonu, the sect master, to expand wantonly, acting domineeringly, and it is very unbeatable in Qizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou and other places. ”

Li Shidao said with a smile: "There are so many positions in the Nine Streams, if Zhang Zhaonu's Kunshan wants to come in, someone has to go out, which sect can be ranked among the Nine Streams is worse than Kunshan? ”

Xu Beiyou squinted his eyes and said: "I don't think so, he Zhang Zhaonu will not know the details of the Chu Clan's Sword House, this time he made a move on the Chu Clan's Sword Mansion, I'm afraid it was the drunkard's intention not to drink." ”

Guo Hanxuan, who was drinking, stopped his movements, his face was solemn, and he couldn't help but be a little worried: "What does the young master mean that Zhang Zhaonu is eyeing our Sword Sect?"

Xu Beiyou sneered: "Looking at today's nine streams, Tianji Pavilion, Molun Temple, King Kong Temple, Witch Sect, Shamanism, Wenxiang Sect, White Lotus Sect, Dark Guard Mansion, plus my Sword Sect, behind Tianji Pavilion and Dark Guard Mansion is the imperial court, Zhang Zhaonu can't afford to provoke, Shamanism and Molun Temple are in the grassland outside the Saiwai, the Witch Sect is located in the 100,000 mountains in southern Xinjiang, and the King Kong Temple is far away in Baozhu, even if the Daomen are beyond the reach of these places, let alone Kunshan, so only the Wenxiang Sect, the White Lotus Sect and my Sword Sect are left." Originally, my three families were similar in strength, and they were horns of each other, and Kunshan didn't dare to do anything, but now my Sword Sect has gone through various changes such as Xuanjiao and Daomen, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and Zhang Zhaonu wants to take advantage of the fire to rob him. ”

Guo Hanxuan slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, and said indignantly with half-truths and half-truths: "The bullying is too much, this is really a tiger falling into Pingyang being bullied by dogs." ”

Xu Beiyou crossed his fingers and said indifferently: "It is true that the current Sword Sect is a tiger falling in Pingyang, but even so, it is not just any cat or dog that can be bullied." ”

When Xu Bei lobbied these words, he did not shy away from Li Shidao and Chu Tiankuo, the two outsiders, Li Shidao was expressionless, and Chu Tiankuo had a complicated expression, both shocked and remorseful.

Xu Beiyou got up and left the table with a glass of wine, came to the window and looked at the blue lake outside the building, "Lord Chulu, I won't hide it from you, the current Sword Sect is indeed not as good as it was back then, if the ancestor was there, it would not be difficult to keep your foundation in Yanzhou, but now it is a little difficult." ”

Chu Tiankuo hurriedly got up and said, "Young Master Xu, please be sure to save me from the Chu Clan's Sword Mansion, and I am grateful to the Chu Clan." ”

Xu Beiyou turned around and said with a smile: "What kind of gratitude method, if I want to let your Chu Clan's Sword House return to the Sword Sect?"

Chu Tiankuo's face suddenly froze, and he didn't know how to reply.

Xu Beiyou sent the wine glass in his hand to Chu Tiankuo's hand, and said calmly: "The so-called Chu Clan's Sword House is the foundation of the Sword Sect, and returning to the Sword Sect is just a matter of returning to the original owner, your Chu family is still a disciple of the Sword Sect, and I also allow you to continue to be in charge of the Sword Sect, I don't think Zhang Zhaonu will give you such good conditions, otherwise you will not come all the way to Jiangnan to ask for help, the pros and cons are worth thinking about." ”

After that, Xu Beiyou went straight out.

Guo Hanxuan confessed to Li Shidao, and hurriedly got up to follow.

Xu Beiyou did not rush to leave the Qianjin Building, but went to a quiet courtyard that he had chartered in the Qianjin Building.

The yard is not big, it belongs to the lower middle scale among the many courtyards under the name of Qianjinlou, Xu Beiyou did not comb his powder here, but asked two little maids to clean it.

There is a bush of bamboo in the courtyard, there is a stone table and a three-square stone bench under the bamboo, every midsummer night, the bright moon is bright, the breeze comes, the bamboo shadow is mottled, the interest is quite deep.

In the small courtyard, there was a person who was drinking tea and waiting for someone, it was Li Zhang, the envoy of Jiang Du.

Li Zhang deserves to be an old man in the officialdom, seeing that Xu Beiyou's face was slightly different after entering the hospital, he asked tentatively after a little consideration in his heart: "Nangui, have you encountered trouble?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a small fight." ”

Li Zhang said with a smile: "Although Jiangdu and the imperial capital are called the two capitals of the north and south, they are still not comparable to the imperial capital after all, there are not so many princes and nobles here, as long as your old man says a word, who dares not to sell your face?"

Xu Beiyou smiled and said nothing.

Now Xu Beiyou is called Xu Gongzi, Gongzi said, literally the son of the prince, in ancient times only the son of the princes can use this title, the four princes of the year are the four princes who are the people who raise three thousand guests and influence the world, but in recent hundreds of years, Confucianism has flourished, and scholars have begun to grasp the power of the court, so the words of the prince have become worthless, and any scholar can also be called a son.

It's just that this is not the case in the officialdom, most of the people who can be called sons are the children of prominent and powerful people or high-ranking families, such as Duanmu Ruisheng's son Duanmu Yu was honored by a number of officials as Duanmu Gongzi, and as Han Xuan went out of the mountain and entered the cabinet, Xu Beiyou was also crowned with the title of Xu Gongzi.

Therefore, this son is not the son of the other, just like Lord Zhixian and Lord Shoufu, both adults, but there is a difference of twelve grades between the two, which cannot be said in the same day.

So far, Xu Beiyou does not have a very clear and clear concept of the second assistant of the cabinet, only knows that the second assistant is second only to the first assistant in the cabinet, since Mr. did the second assistant, the once unattainable three-grade members have to put down their bodies and call themselves brothers, which makes Xu Beiyou can't help but think of the scene when he first saw Xiao Zhinan and Duanmu Yu in Danxia Village.

The old man who rode the black snake was just the commander of the three products, but he seemed to be as unattainable as the gods in the sky at that time, and he only felt that this gentleman had a deep background, and now he can only be regarded as an ordinary family background, and the rapid transformation of identity and role is really like a dream.

It is precisely because of Han Xuan that even if Xu Beiyou loses everything in the Sword Sect, he still has a way out.

It is precisely because of Han Xuan that Xu Beiyou has some confidence to make an appointment with Xiao Zhinan in the imperial capital.

After the two entered the house, Su Qingnu and another woman were still waiting on the side, and this time they were talking about some half-public and half-private things, so the two of them were not too taboo, after all, Qianjinlou is notoriously tight-mouthed, and half a word that should not be said will not be leaked.

After more than half an hour, Xu Beiyou left the Qianjin Building.

After returning to Gongsun Mansion, Xu Beiyou retreated left and right to the side hall, opened the entrance to the mirror world according to the method last time, and came to the mirror world alone.

Since the last battle with Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun, Xu Beiyou has only three years left to live, so after discovering the world in the mirror, he has developed a habit that cannot be moved, no matter how busy he is, he has to spare six hours to practice and refine qi here.

In fact, the word qi refining is not very accurate, because Xu Beiyou Zhou does not have half a qi machine on his body, but Xu Beiyou is also blessed by misfortune, and he turned to practice the Weiyang Sword Sutra and set foot in the realm of human immortals.

Xu Beiyou has a hunch that as long as he can cultivate the Weiyang Sword Sutra to the realm of Xiaocheng, he will be able to give birth to a new qi machine in the sea of qi, and then reopen the Zhongdan Field, plus the upper dantian that has been opened, the three major dantians are connected as one, then an earth immortal realm is within reach.
