In all fairness, Xiao Quji didn't want to get involved in the temple disputes, he actually liked the current idle state, even if His Majesty had a lot of support for the King of Liangwu County today, Xiao Quji still didn't choose to be a leader, so he was regarded by the entire clan as a puddle of mud that couldn't support the wall.

It wasn't until Yang Shi He entered the county king's mansion to show off his power when he destroyed the Du family, that Xiao Quji, who felt humiliated, made up his mind to revive the former glory of the Liangwu County Palace.

As the grandson of Xiao Gongyu, he has the title of King of Liangwu County, and he has accumulated incense for many years, which is as difficult as the way to the sky for ordinary people, and it is really not difficult for Xiao Quji.

At the beginning, Han Xuan once taught Xu Beiyou the way of being an official, don't be angry in the officialdom, if you can't kill the opponent with one blow, don't make a revenge easily, once you decide to make a move, you must put it to death, so that the opponent can never turn over, when the sheep master is arrogant, but it will bury disasters for the future, if Xiao Quji really wins, how can he please him.

Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered an old incident and asked: "I have seen Xiao Shiluo, the son of the King of Lingwu County, who counts his seniority, and is the same generation as you, but why is he called Shiluo, and you are called Zhiji? Qi Wang Xiao Bai and others are simply single-character names, don't the huge clans have a generational model?"

Xiao Qu tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if he felt that the question was a little ridiculous, but he still patiently explained; In the last years of the Great Chu, Houjian Iron Cavalry went south, our Xiao family was divided into two branches in the war, one was to avoid the war, crossed the river capital in the south, and later followed the Emperor Taizu of Dazheng to kill back to the north, becoming the founding lord of the Great Zheng Dynasty, and the other was coerced to go to Houjian, a Xiao family woman did Houjian Queen by chance, and the Xiao family became a descendant, and it was logical to take root in Houjian, until the first emperor led the army to the Northern Expedition and then built, the two families were recombined into one, Xiao Shiluo is the Houjian Xiao, I am the Eastern Capital Xiao, although the generation is about the same, but after so many years, except for the same ancestor, it doesn't really have much to do with it。 ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Quji's tone was a little more self-deprecating, "From the perspective of the entire Xiao family, the Xiao family in the eastern capital is a descendant, and the Xiao clan in the later construction is a concubine, but just in terms of the Xiao clan in the eastern capital, the royal family is a descendant in today's royal family, and our branch is a concubine. The royal family has always been thin, one generation is a common thing, and two people can be considered prosperous, so they never use the model word of generation, only take a single name, and do not use the model word for the main house. In fact, to put it bluntly, the name of a single word is more noble, and the name of a double word is almost meaningless. ”

Xu Beiyou nodded silently.

Xiao Quji said in a flat tone: "My grandfather is a double character, he has done his best all his life, and in the end he only changed to a posthumous prince, on the other hand, Xiao Li and his ilk, who have no skills, but he was named King Yan because of his better background, and the gap is so big." ”

Xu Beiyou could hear the resentment in Xiao Quji's words, but he didn't care, he didn't suffer from widowhood and unevenness, this is all human nature, and it is also one of the reasons why he took the initiative to see Xiao Quji, if Xiao Quji really has no desire and no desire, there is no need for him to sit here and talk.

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "The world has only seen the blue party dominate the temple for 50 years, but they have not seen that the blue party has also made great moves over the years, and the enemy is all over the world. How about the Han Party, Mr. has never talked to me deeply, and so far I have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg, but I can tell you that its huge size is definitely beyond the imagination of the two of us, when Lan Xiang monopolized the power of the temple, Li Zhenji was not an opponent, and Zhao Zongxian was not an opponent, they could not bear this burden, only Mr. could carry it. ”

Xiao Qujian pondered silently.

Of course, he knows the thoughts of His Majesty today, the so-called Han Party is actually the Imperial Party, as Xu Beiyou said, the blue is the trend of the times, but the emperor's mind is unpredictable, after the success of the blue party, how should the Han Party, which replaced the blue party, deal with itself?

Is it a torrent retreating, or is it a rabbit dead and a dog cooking?

A mature emperor would allow a second voice in the court? Take 10,000 steps back, even if His Majesty is open-minded and willing to start and finish well with Han Xuan, how many more years can Han Xuan live?

This is what Xiao Quji is really worried about.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and there was a long silence in the room.

After a long time, Xiao Quji shifted a slightly lighter topic, and asked with a smile: "For so many years, I have always been very envious of the Sword Sect's sword path, I heard that you have set foot in the Earth Immortal Realm in just two years, I have always been curious about how you did it, I wonder if you can tell me?"

Xu Beiyou glanced at the sword box standing on the side, and said frankly: "In fact, many masters know what is going on, and I have nothing to hide, my ancestor has left twelve famous swords to pass down, each of which contains the sword qi divine intent left by the ancestors of the past dynasties, I use the secret method of the sword sect to absorb these sword qi divine intent for my own use, and the cultivation realm is naturally a thousand miles away, but although this method can be achieved quickly, it will not be beneficial to the avenue of eternal life, and it will even become an obstacle to the ascension of the Dao in the future, in the long run, the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Xiao Quji sighed with emotion: "But how many people can go to the step of ascension? In the past hundred years, there are only two people who have successfully ascended, and there are only a few who are expected to ascend, rather than worrying about what will not be hindered in the future, it is better to grasp what is in front of you." ”

Xiao Quji also looked at the sword box standing beside Xu Beiyou, and sighed: "But not everyone in this world can have the twelve swords of the Sword Sect, and even if they do, they may not be willing to take them out to make a big gamble that doesn't know the outcome of the game." ”

Xu Beiyou did not answer.

Xiao Qu smiled and asked, "Xu Beiyou, if I want to practice swords, will you teach me?"

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "Then it depends on whether His Highness is an enemy or a friend." ”

Xiao Quji didn't hesitate to ask how the enemy was and what was the friend, but nodded slightly.

Xu Beiyou got up and said: "It's not early, Shendu is where the Yuzhou Secret Guard Mansion is located after all, Xu is not good to stay for a long time, and he has to travel overnight, so he won't bother." ”

Xiao Quji also got up to see off the guests, "Since this is the case, then we will meet again in the imperial capital." ”

Xu Beiyou picked up the sword box, walked out of the side hall, and disappeared into the vast night under Xiao Quji's eyes.

After a while, Lao Wang walked into the side hall and called out "Your Highness" softly.

Xiao Qu, who was pondering, came back to his senses and asked, "Lao Wang, what do you think of Xu Beiyou?"

E'Yong" g long free 5 fees / see little H} said

Lao Wang groaned slightly, and said slowly: "There is ambition and courage. ”

Xiao Qujian muttered to himself: "There are many people with ambition and courage in this world, but there are only a few people who can succeed, do you say that Xu Beiyou and the old Han Ge behind him are worth our gamble?"

Lao Wang frowned suddenly, the deep wrinkles on his face seemed to be completely piled up, and after a long time, he said softly: "If you want to take it, you must give it to you." ”
