Xu Beiyou followed Meng Li to the East Courtyard, which was not bad, not luxurious, nor simple, not far from the Gongsun Mansion where he lived in Jiangdu.

Xu Beiyou didn't have any luggage, it was just a sword box, put the sword box down temporarily, and after bathing and changing clothes, Xu Beiyou walked out of the east courtyard and went straight to Zhao Qing's west courtyard.

He had something he wanted to ask about this very special Ouchi master.

Zhao Qing seemed to have expected Xu Beiyou to come, so he had already brewed tea in the tea room next to his study, waiting for Xu Beiyou to come to the door.

After Xu Beiyou arrived, he didn't be too polite, sat opposite Zhao Qing, took a sip of a cup of tea, and praised it.

Zhao Qing said casually: "This is Jiangnan's tribute tea, Xiao Xuan gave it to me, but I heard that your kid covers the sky with one hand in Jiangnan, and he is very powerful, and you have already tasted this so-called tribute tea, which is not a strange thing." ”

Xu Beiyou calmed down after hearing these words, put down the teacup in his hand, and said softly: "It's all rumors from outside, I'm young, my cultivation is low, and my prestige is insufficient, why do I control Jiangdu, it's just that I was pushed to the front of the stage by many seniors." ”

Zhao Qing shook his head and said: "Originally, I thought the same thing, that famous Jiangdu Xu Gongzi may be the result of the compromise between the three women of Jiangdu and Murong Xuanyin, to put it bluntly, it is a puppet in front of me, but I don't think so now, if it is really a puppet, why should Han Xuan and Xiao Zhinan be so serious, how can Xiao Xuan value you so much." ”

Xu Beiyou shook his head and smiled: "It's just wrong love." ”

Zhao Qing pointed out: "Then you are full of white hair?"

Xu Beiyou said: "There was a mistake in the practice, and I accidentally broke Shouyuan." ”

Zhao Qing smiled and said noncommittally: " Cultivating the way, in addition to some of the quick methods of the left side door, has always been rejuvenation, take myself as an example, nearly 100 years old is still not confused by the appearance, this is the reason for relying on cultivation, I look at your body of cultivation, based on the dragon and tiger Dan Dao of the Daomen, and then turn to the sword sect's forty-nine platinum sword qi and lifeless sword qi, it seems that he also cultivated the supreme sword body and the Weiyang sword scripture, this is very powerful, there is a sword body outside, there is Weiyang inside, and the sword is thirty-six, no matter how you look at it, it is a majestic avenue, even if something goes wrong, it will not lose its life for decades？”

Xu Beiyou, who was seen through by Zhao Qing at a glance, was suddenly speechless.

Zhao Qing smiled indifferently: "So I'm thinking, you must have encountered some opportunity, some people say that you are the reincarnation of Shangguan Xianchen, I don't believe it, but I think this opportunity should be related to Shangguan Xianchen." ”

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "I have seen the portrait of the ancestor, and it is indeed full of white hair, does Master Zhao think that I am related to the ancestor because of this?"

Zhao Qing said to himself: "It's strange to say, Shangguan Xianchen was already full of white hair before the age of Huajia, and he was the same as you, and Gongsun Zhongmou, whose realm is comparable to mine, but he is more than ten years younger than me, but he is old early, and then look at your mother Zhang Xueyao, who is still a young woman, and a pair of beautiful people back then became old husbands and young wives." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "Holding the immortal for a long time has lost Shouyuan. ”

Zhao Qing sighed: "I'm afraid it's also because of the heavy killing, looking at the sword sect masters of the past dynasties, it is no coincidence that there are few people who can ascend to the Tao and die well." ”

Xu Beiyou said bitterly: "That's true, Taishi Ancestor Xu Lin died under the sword of Shizu, Shizu Shangguan Xianchen carried the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and Emperor Xiao's Son of Heaven Sword in a row, and died of exhaustion, Master Gongsun Zhongmou died at the hands of Daomen Qiuye again, I don't know if I can break this trap, I can only do my best." ”

Zhao Qing changed the topic and said, "I'm afraid you didn't come here to talk to me about Jiangnan tribute tea, right?" ”

Xu Beiyou cleaned up his mood a little and said, "When I was in Julu City, I met Wanyan Beiyue and Murong Xuanyin, and it seems that these two are also coming to the imperial capital, I don't know if they have arrived?"

Zhao Qing frowned slightly, and said: "Wanyan Beiyue has arrived, he is Xiao Yu's brother-in-law, Xiao Jin's brother-in-law, and according to the alliance between the two countries that year, the emperors of the two countries are called brothers, according to this, he is Xiao Xuan's uncle, and he has already stayed in the imperial city at this time." ”

Xu Beiyou was taken aback, "Imperial City?"

Zhao Qing nodded and said: "After all, he is the lord of a country, if it is too lazy to arrange it in other places, it just so happens that the Xiao family is thin in people, and there are idle palaces in the imperial city." ”

He paused, seemed to hesitate, and then said slowly: "Besides, with that Imperial City Great Array, even if Yan Beiyue has the realm cultivation of the eighteenth floor, he is not afraid of making any trouble." ”

Xu Beiyou asked curiously, "Is the Imperial City Great Array really so powerful?"

Zhao Qing said with a smile: "No matter how powerful the big array is, it is a dead thing after all, it depends on who controls it, if it is just an imperial city big array, of course it can't stop Yan Beiyue, but if you add Zhang Baisui or me to be the person who presides over the formation, it is another matter." ”

Xu Beiyou asked again, "What about Murong Xuanyin?"

Zhao Qing shook his head and said: "He has never entered the imperial capital, or he has come, but he has not yet appeared, and when he reaches his realm, if he is bent on hiding and hiding, it will be difficult to find him." ”

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "This time it is nominally the kings entering Beijing, but in fact, it is all the powerful people who have entered the imperial capital, I am afraid that it is not just a Xuanjiao sect leader. ”

Zhao Qing smiled: " This is a matter of course, and even Xiao Xuan's deliberate doing, this person has great ambitions, and there are two fathers and ancestors in front of the gold and jade, Xiao Yu needless to say, flat grassland, set up after the construction, raise the three-foot sword to establish immortal merits, and finally change the day, his grandfather Xiao Lie, that is, my teacher, that is also the figure who brought the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, if there is no merit of my teacher, Xiao Yu is afraid that it is not so easy to reach the top of the world, so Xiao Xuan has always wanted to stand side by side with his father and ancestors, when Xiao Yu took over the foundation laid by the ancestor and destroyed Zheng Liqi, then Xiao Xuan will sweep away the many hidden dangers left by his father Xiao Yu, and seek peace in the world。 ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "There are three maladministrations left by Emperor Xiao, the rule of officials, the feudal towns, and the grassland, and its countermeasures are also very simple, the new deal, the cutting of the domain, and the Northern Expedition, it can be known that it is easier said than done, in all fairness, no matter which one is completed, it can be regarded as a promising monarch who has left a name in history, if it can be completed all, it is not an exaggeration to call it an emperor through the ages." ”

Zhao Qing patted his knee lightly and said with a smile: "So Xiao Xuan has great ambitions, you also said that the New Deal, cutting the domain, and the Northern Expedition, these three major things are the emperor's dignity It is also very difficult to do, if something goes wrong, not only will he be doomed, but he will also leave a reputation for great joy in the history of the Qing Dynasty, but Xiao Xuan forced himself to do it, if he did it step by step, it would be a blessing to be able to finish one thing, so he could only make dangerous moves." ”

Xu Beiyou thought about it seriously and asked, "Master Zhao thinks that His Majesty is almost certain that he will be able to complete these three major things. ”

Zhao Qing narrowed his eyes and said indifferently: "Then it depends on whether he is a hero favored by the will of God, if he is favored by the providence, the general trend is in his hands, just like Xiao Yu back then, he has the right time and place, he can always turn danger into a disaster every time he is in danger, and he can always succeed with a small broad, and others can't learn if they want to, so it can only be attributed to God's favor, that is, Xiao Jin, who has known for 500 years before and 500 years after, can know what ordinary people don't know, and is also not an opponent. ”
