Compared with Huang Zicheng's amazed sigh, Ji Gang, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, can also be regarded as empathetic.

The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in the world, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, and you can't ask for it, and you can't let it go. The suffering of these two people can probably be attributed to not being able to ask for it.

After sighing after reading the secret report submitted by his subordinates, Ji Gang left a few crocodile tears, and as soon as he turned around, he screened the argument that Huang Zicheng told Huang Guan to "form a party first, and then seek things", and removed the character flaws about the emperor's indecision, and presented it to the front of the emperor.

After Zhu Yunwen saw it, his face turned red and he was angry, but then he calmed down, perhaps because Huang Zicheng was about to return to his hometown to guard filial piety, and the face of many years of kindness between teachers and students, and did not make any disposition, but it seems that Huang Guan's official career has also come to an end.

A scholar is still a scholar after all, and he doesn't understand the villain's methods.

For Ji Gang, Zhu Yunwen praised a few words without being salty, rewarded some gold and silver, and then had no other expressions. Ji Gang knew in his heart that he didn't look at the emperor's enthusiasm for him, but in fact, he still didn't enter Zhu Yunwen's heart.

Ji Gang was very envious of Xu Ruyi and Zhu Yunwen's relationship between a gentleman and a minister, a friend and a friend, but after working hard again and again, he gradually understood that he would never reach that height.

In other words, he Ji Gang will always be just the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and there is no other possibility, and the Jinyi Guard under his leadership will never be able to surpass the eunuch's nest.

"Hmph, he looks so weird, maybe he sold his ass to get the emperor's favor. On the Jinshui Bridge, Ji Gang turned over and got on his horse, looked back at Wenhua Hall unwillingly, and snorted coldly.

"Your Excellency. He followed Qian Duo to hold the reins of the horse, turned a deaf ear to Ji Gang's complaints, looked up at his boss, and said flatteringly: "It's not early, do you want to go back to the Yamen of the Town Fusi or go back to the house directly?"

"Don't go, let's go to the Wanqing Building. ”

"Okay. Qian Duo agreed, but as if he had expected it, he led the horse and headed north.

Providence is merciful to the grass, and the world is sunny at night.

Wanqinglou, a poetic name, brings people infinite reverie, but in fact it is actually a brothel Qinglou.

The three-storey building has not been open for a long time, but it has been more than two years, and it can be regarded as a signboard in this Nanjing city. There are not many girls here, but all of them are knowledgeable and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's not so much a brothel as a place of elegant pastime.

is also engaged in the leather and meat business, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the girl must be able to see the eyes before being introduced into the house to be the guest of the curtain.

Since Ji Gang accidentally ate a wine in it and fell in love with a girl named Qingrou, but when he had leisure or was in a bad mood, he was willing to go to the Qinglou that night to stay for a while.

Silk and bamboo bursts, piano and chirping. Ji Gang stayed in the private room, poured himself a drink, and waited for the arrival of the girl he liked. Time passed quietly. Just as he felt four or five minutes drunk, the door was pushed open and slammed shut again.

Ji Gang raised his eyes with a smile: "Tender, but let a certain family be good... Huh?"

Where came in was his own beauty, but it was a bald monk. Triangular eyes, sallow complexion, and sickness. Emaciated figure, wearing a monk's robe of rain cotton. With his hands folded in front of his chest, he proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the poor monk Daoyan, I have seen the Jinyi Guard commanding the envoy Ji." Miss Rou has something to do for the time being, so how about the poor monk come and chat with Master Ji for a few words?"

"Dao Yan... Daoyan... Ji Gang muttered a few times, and always felt that the name seemed to be very familiar, just on his lips, but he couldn't call it for a while.

"Beiping. Dao Yan prompted.

"Ah!" Ji Gang suddenly exclaimed: "Dao Yan, Dao Yan of Beiping, Dao Yan of Zhu Di?"

"Yes, what Master Ji said is right, it is a poor monk. Dao Yan smiled and came to sit down opposite Ji Gang.

Ji Gang narrowed his eyes, staring at Dao Yan's face, his face was cloudy, and his right hand unconsciously stroked the long knife on his waist.

"Master Ji, you can capture the poor monk and put it in the hands of the emperor, the poor monk will not resist, but what good will this do you?"

"The duty of Jinyiwei is also a great achievement. ”

"Huh. Dao Yan smiled indifferently, and flipped his palm: "The duty or something is to laugh and talk, life is in the world, there is hope, where is the duty?

"Do you think it's impossible?"

"Maybe, but that's not what Master Ji wants. Dao Yan looked at Ji Gang firmly, and said: "And listening to the poor monk say a few words, maybe you can make Master Ji get his wish." ”

Speaking of this, Dao Yan saw that Ji Gang's expression was hesitant, so he took out a book from his arms and put it on the table. Pressed it and pushed it over: "Jinyiwei and Dongji Factory, in fact, there is no difference in nature, and there is not much difference in terms of functions and even structure. It stands to reason that the existence of a Jinyiwei has met the emperor's need to control the world, but an old incident in Xuzhou Mansion made Jinyiwei lose the trust of the first emperor, so the emperor established the East Investigation Factory in addition to Jinyiwei.

In all respects, after all, the Dongyi Factory has not been established for a long time, and it is not as strong as Jinyiwei, but why is Jinyiwei suppressed by Dongchang everywhere?"

After a rhetorical question, without waiting for Ji Gang to answer, Dao Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at Ji Gang: "The reason is Lord Ji himself." ”

"I, you say I?!" Ji Gang pointed to his nose and laughed angrily: "Hahahaha, it's good, it's been a long time since I've heard such a funny joke, monk, master, just make this joke at you, and a certain family will listen to you to understand." But if you don't understand ... ”

"Cang Lang Lang" The long knife came out of the sheath and rested on Dao Yan's shoulder, and the person who came out of the knife smiled fiercely: "If you don't understand, a certain family will not invite you to take credit, just this night in the Qinglou, a certain family will let your head fall to the ground." ”

"Master Ji rest assured, the poor monk can make it clear. Dao Yan glanced indifferently at the cold light on his shoulder, and continued: "In terms of martial arts, the admiral eunuch of Dongchang is ten times better than Lord Ji, what the poor monk said is right?"

"It's true. ”

"In terms of saints, the difference between Lord Ji and that eunuch is not only a hundred times and a thousand times, it can be said that there is a world of difference?"

"Go on. ”

"If the martial arts are not enough, there is no confidence to face it in private, and if the saints are insufficient, the sons and daughters at the bottom will not have the confidence to fight against the court. If Lord Ji only wants to be a commander of the Jinyi Guard in peace and security in his life, and finally dies of old age, then the poor monk has nothing to say, the question is, is Lord Ji willing?"

"Willing?" Ji Gang muttered to himself, and the answer was no. He was unwilling, from the day he was beaten to death when he was a child because he hit the rich man in the village while playing, Ji Gang swore to himself that he would get ahead in his lifetime.

The big husband can't eat five tripods, so he cooks five tripods!

To get ahead, this is his long-cherished wish.

Ji Gang himself knew that he could go further, and at this moment, his goal was not the golden chair, but it was not the small role of a pure eagle dog like now.

"It seems that Master Ji is unwilling. Dao Yan smiled again, stretched out his hand and pointed to the book on the table: "Heaven and Earth He, rejoice in the mastery of Zen Buddhism, the poor monk accidentally learned that if he practices diligently, Master Ji will not be afraid of that eunuch." If Master Ji is willing to do a small favor to the poor monk, then maybe within the year, the eunuch will die. ”

"Just you, the monk?"

"Just me, the monk. Dao Yan bowed: "A chance, success or failure has nothing to lose with Lord Ji, is Lord Ji willing to have a gamble that will not be lost?"

。。。。。。

The willows on the moon, people have no appointment, but they meet on the top of the mountain.

Tang Sai'er arrived first, condescendingly, looking coldly at the bright Danfeng eyes, the jade-like face reflected in the moonlight, and walked in front of him.

"The White Lotus Envoy is dead, Feng Bo is seriously injured, and Lei Gong is dead. There are two hundred elites of the White Lotus Sect, and only sixty-seven people are left who have escaped from Shaolin, giving this seat a reason not to kill you. ”

"Your ability can't kill our family, and even take a step back and say, if our family is seriously injured, maybe we can kill you, is this reason enough? That night, the Buddha Mother showed her magical powers, and our family saw it in our eyes, but I was afraid that if that kind of move was used, the backlash would be great, right? Xu Ruyi smiled, shook his sleeves, and stood on the opposite side: "Waited for a long time?"

"I've been waiting for you for three days. ”

"It's a coincidence that our family didn't come here to look for you. Xu Ruyi spread his hands, as if he was provocative.

"Termination of cooperation?"

"Of course not. The bright top is still yours, our family just has some private matters to do, and it just so happens that your White Lotus Sect is involved in it. ”

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"You have to believe it. Scratching his head, Xu Ruyi said again: "The White Lotus Sect has killed so many people, and our family is embarrassed." In this way, private, our family is willing to give some compensation, what does the Buddha mother think?"

"How to compensate?"

"100,000 taels of silver?"

"Huh. Tang Sai'er sneered and didn't say anything.

"Alright, alright. Xu Ruyi waved his hand: "Our family really didn't come to you, but since we met, if you have anything to say, let's listen to it." ”

Tang Sai'er took a few deep breaths, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The three sects and seven sects have died three masters, and there will be some turmoil. But after that, the White Lotus Sect will have a battle with them, and I want you to help me. ”

"How can I help you?"

"Sent troops and raided their lair. ”

"Well... Qingliang Jade pointed at her smooth chin, Xu Ruyi thought about it and smiled: "It can be, but why do we do this?"

"If you don't help me, if the top of the light is broken, this seat will be buried with Lan Chun, on the contrary, if the top of the light is kept, this seat will immediately return Lan Chun to you, how about it?"

"The second time. This is the second time you've used Blue Spring to threaten our family. Xu Ruyi's voice froze.

"Not a threat. Instead of making a joke as before, Tang Sai'er shook his head a little frankly: "Lan Chun is now staying at the top of the light with my White Lotus Five Poison Elders, this is a fact, this seat did not lie to you." ”

"Bright top, change blue spring. ”

"It's a deal. ”

"It's a deal. ”

In mid-air, the two raised their palms and struck three times in a row, and Tang Sai'er flew away, leaving only a trace of residual fragrance, and in a moment, it dissipated in the wind.

"Master, come out. We know you're there. Xu Ruyi spoke softly.

There was a void in the air, and an old figure appeared ten steps behind Xu Ruyi, a monk's robe, a monk's hat, and a worn-out broom in his hand.

Turning around slowly, Xu Ruyi looked the old monk up and down, and arched his hand: "The master has seen the Silkworm Demon Skill of Hua Pengfei, I don't know if it is possible to see the foundation of our family?"

"White Bone Zen. The old monk replied.

"Hehe, hehe. Xu Ruyi smiled: "Master, what gambler, what monk, it's all false." Let us guess, you are the predecessor of my Tianmen, right?"

can call out the name of the silkworm demon and the white bone Zen, and put a horse in front of the Dharma Palace, and gave him a big pill, all kinds of signs, this old monk is inseparable from the gate of heaven, the biggest possibility, he is also a person in the gate of heaven!

Seeing the old monk at this moment, Xu Ruyi was even more convinced, the evidence was the old monk's equally smooth chin.

The old monk didn't answer, and Xu Ruyi didn't urge, just waited patiently.

In the middle of the moon, there is a faint halo of light, indicating a good rain tomorrow. When a cool breeze blew, it finally brought the old monk's response: "Ren Xiao, is he okay?"

"Oh no, crazy. Xu Ruyi said bluntly: "That's why Hua Pengfei will come to steal the big pill." Why, didn't he tell his seniors?"

"Nope. The old monk shook his head: "The poor monk saw that he had cultivated the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Skill, and thought that he was the contemporary master of Tianmen, who thought that he was still a man, so he didn't ask in detail." Now it seems that Ren Xiao has broken the rules. After a pause, the old monk said: "You are young, your skills are so creative, and you have practiced the white bone Zen to the sixth level, which is really amazing, and has stepped out of a path for the rootless people in the world, Ren Xiao is not wrong." ”

Xu Ruyi's expression gradually became solemn, he opened his mouth and closed his mouth and smiled, instead of using honorific words, but with the attitude of an elder talking about a junior, who is this old monk?

"The four great divine skills of Tianmen, relatively speaking, the White Bone Zen is the easiest to get started, but if you want to take the last step, it is indeed as difficult as climbing to the sky. You're dead on your path, aren't you?

The innate road is long and obstructive. You need to know your own way in order to keep going. White Bone Zen occupies a Zen word, pay attention to epiphany, but it is an evil method itself, if you really have the heart to break the cauldron and defeat the demons, maybe there is a glimmer of life. ”

The word "vitality" is used very strangely, and it seems to refer to something. Could it be that he is still in any danger? Xu Ruyi was just about to ask carefully, but in the blink of an eye, the old monk was already gone.

Come without a trace, go without a trace. It's as if it never existed. [.]
