Chapter 31, One God, One Country, One Sect

When he came to Gongzi Qiong's Mansion, the soldiers guarding the door stopped Shangguan Yun, and after some careful inquiry, he went in to report. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

What Shangguan Yun didn't expect was that Gongzi Qiong actually came out to greet him in person, which made his original disgust with Gongzi Qiong a little loosened.

"Shangguan Xian's nephew, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome. ”

His Royal Highness greeted him personally, the little nephew was flattered, and when he received a letter from Senior Brother Feng, the little nephew was anxious, so he rushed to come in a panic, and he came to visit, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me. ”

"Hey, the virtuous nephew is too polite, I said a long time ago, as long as you want, this is your home, you can come whenever you want. ”

After some politeness and humility, Shangguan Yun followed Gongzi Qiong into the main hall, and the two sat down separately. Gongzi Qiong immediately sent others to talk to Shangguan Yun alone.

"I heard Feng'er say that Shangguan Xian's nephew has now left Changchun Gate, I don't know what I want to do next?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, and I plan to travel around first and gain knowledge. ”

"I see, I don't know where the virtuous nephew plans to go first?"

"Back to Your Highness, I really haven't thought about this. ”

"Oh, since the virtuous nephew hasn't decided where to go yet, it's better to stay here first, and it's not too late to set off when you've thought about it. ”

"This。。。。。 Your Highness, please allow me to think again. ”

Seeing that Shangguan Yun was a little hesitant, Gongzi Qiong smiled and said. "It's okay, this son's mansion is airtight, and it's similar to a prison, you young people must feel restricted. Actually, I still have a few independent courtyards in the city, if you don't dislike it, you can live there, it's more convenient. ”

"Your Royal Highness Xie's kindness, it's just that the little nephew has always been used to being wild in the mountains and forests, and this time when he comes out, he just wants to walk around more, and I'm afraid he won't be able to stay anywhere, so he won't trouble His Highness. ”

"It's okay, it's up to you, but there is one thing you have to explain to your nephew, so as not to misunderstand. ”

"Your Highness, please speak. ”

Gongzi Qiong sighed and said: "Virtuous nephew must be strange, how did I learn about your affairs so quickly, I must think that my son-in-law Qiong has the intention of spying on you, in fact, with the wide eyeliner of Gongzi's mansion, although I dare not say that the entire Luo Shen Kingdom is everywhere under my surveillance, but it is almost the same, so knowing about the matter of the virtuous nephew is not something I did deliberately." ”

Speaking of this, Gongzi Qiong glanced at Shangguan Yun, "Virtuous nephew, you were born in a wild family, you may not be able to understand the distress of the princely family, in fact, I don't want to be as free as you, just born in this princely family, I can't escape this life of strife, if I don't be careful everywhere, don't use some means, I'm afraid that I will be killed at any time." What's more, even if I don't put eyeliner and don't use means, others will do it, such as when you entered my house today, I'm afraid that others will know about it at this moment. ”

"In fact, in this world, not only the princely family, but even those large and small sects in the cultivation world, in the eyes of the world, are all beyond the mundane existence, but which one does not have its own means and eyeliner? Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not exist in the world for a long time. ”

Gongzi Qiong's words shocked Shangguan Yun, although he was a little unacceptable for a while, after thinking about it, it was not unreasonable, even when he was working in the inn, he often had to go to the dock to inquire about the news of the ferry, so as to pick up the merchants in front of others. Speaking of things in this world, how can it not be argued, even if you are in the mountains and wilderness, it is difficult to avoid vulgarity, hunting demon beasts is nothing more than wanting to fight for the demon pill of those demon beasts, otherwise how can you enter the realm so quickly;

Seeing Shangguan Yun fall into deep thought, Gongzi Qiong smiled slightly, took a sip of tea before slowly continuing, "Tell the virtuous nephew this, I just want the virtuous nephew to understand that it is not that I want to calculate the virtuous nephew, but that I really appreciate the virtuous nephew and have the heart of loving talents." ”

Shangguan Yun groaned for a while, got up and bowed to Gongzi Qiong.

"Your Royal Highness is very loving, and the little nephew understands it, but the little nephew doesn't have much real talent and learning now, and the little nephew's heart of cultivation is still strong, and he doesn't want to have too many constraints, and I hope His Royal Highness will understand. ”

"It's okay, since I appreciate the virtuous nephew, I won't put the virtuous nephew in the cage of trivial matters, I just hope to help you, if he is successful in cultivating the virtuous nephew in the future, he can read the words of you and me today. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, he will succeed in the future, and Shangguan Yun will not forget His Highness's affection. ”

"Well, then, let's get down to business. After Gongzi Qiong finished speaking, he raised his hand and pressed it on the table in front of him.

"See Your Highness. A capable man dressed in black walked in from outside the hall and bowed to Gongzi Qiong.

"This is General Zheng, you can call him Lao Zheng. Gongzi Qiong pointed at the capable man and said to Shangguan Yun.

The man in black immediately bowed his hand to Shangguan Yun, "I've seen Shangguan Gongzi." ”

"Lao Zheng, tell the news to Shangguan Xian's nephew. ”

"Yes," General Zheng said.

"Shangguan Gongzi, after the Hengyunling incident that year, His Royal Highness ordered me to investigate carefully, and contacted the person who responded to the Qishan country, and later learned that the trip to Guan Lin's secret dart did not leak the news in my Luoshen country, but leaked the news in Qishan country, and the person who robbed the dart was the blood knife gang of Qishan country. ”

"How could such a confidential matter leak the news?"

Childe Qiong coughed and took over.

"Alas, Shangguan Xian's nephew, do you know who I was going to give the jade pendant to back then?"

"The little nephew doesn't know. ”

"The late old lord of Qishan Kingdom had four sons and one daughter, and my mother was the only princess, and the current lord Ling Cang was born to the same mother. ”

"In today's Qishan country, there are three big forces, one of which is naturally the lord of the country, Ling Cang, the second is the third old minister Chen Shang, and the third is the Huayin Sect of the Cultivation Sect. The lord of the country, Ling Cang, ruled the country well and was deeply supported by the people of Qishan, and the third old minister Chen Shang was a military family with outstanding military achievements, and was regarded as the god of war by the people of Qishan, as for the Huayin Sect, it has a long history, and there are elders who have served as the national teacher of Qishan for generations. ”

Speaking of this, Gongzi Qiong suddenly looked at Shangguan Yun and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you can know that now all countries in the Kyushu Continent have national teachers, and they are all held by cultivators. ”

"I don't know that. ”

"Hehe, the ancestor of the princes of the Kyushu Continent, originally the gods of the Ji clan, they were all cultivators, and after the separation, the gods all founded cultivation sects in their own countries, which are now the various large and small sects of the Kyushu Continent, that is, the so-called one god, one country and one sect, each sect was originally integrated with the vassal states, but after a long time, the connection between the sect and the vassal states was not so close. But even so, for thousands of years, the descendants of the royal families of various countries have always had people cultivate in these sects, and all sects have also sent elders to serve as national teachers in successive dynasties, and even in some countries, the power of the sect is even greater than that of the national master, and the relationship between the cultivation world and the secular world is not at all a non-interference relationship in the eyes of the world, but there are inextricable links, one loss and one glory.

"Then I'm the national teacher of the Luo Shen Kingdom?" Shangguan Yun couldn't help but ask.

"It's Feng'er's master, Elder Yan. ”

"I see. Only then did Shangguan Yun realize that he still knew too little about the secret history of the Kyushu Continent.

"The Qinglong jade pendant you sent back was originally my mother's dowry, and I originally wanted to give the jade pendant to my uncle, that is, Ling Cang, the current ruler of Qishan Kingdom, in exchange for his support, but who knew that his grandson Ling Yu, who cultivated in Huayin Sect, leaked the news, and this matter was later known to the national teacher of Qishan Country. ”

"What does Your Highness mean, could it be said that this matter was done by the national teacher of Qishan State?"

"It's just speculation, and there's no evidence. Childe Joan shook her head.

"Then where did this Blood Knife Gang come from?" Shangguan Yun asked.

"Back to Shangguan Gongzi, the Blood Knife Gang is not so much a gang, in fact, it is more like a killer organization, it is quite famous in Qishan Country, and has made many bloody cases, and has been wanted by Qishan Country and Huayin Sect, but because of its concealment, no one knows where its mountain gate is, so nothing has been found so far. However, because most of the people he killed were somewhat involved in officialdom, some people suspected that it belonged to a certain force, but there has been no evidence. Lao Zheng answered on the side.

"Oh, that's a bit puzzling. Shangguan Yun pondered for a moment and asked: "If most of the people he killed are involved in officialdom, then there must be a beneficiary party, it should not be difficult to speculate, why can't he find it?"

"Shangguan Gongzi is really smart. Lao Zheng smiled and continued: "Because in addition to the three major forces mentioned by His Highness, there are many large and small forces in Qishan Kingdom, such as His Highness's other two uncles, as well as several sons of the country lord Ling Cang. Although these forces are not as strong as the three major forces, they should not be underestimated, these forces are intertwined and mutually restrictive, so although there are beneficiaries of what the Blood Knife Gang does, it is difficult to deduce who is related to it, so some people deduce that the Blood Knife Gang is actually just a pure killer organization, just taking money to do things. ”

"Although today's Qishan Kingdom seems to be extremely powerful, in fact, the internal crisis is even more unbearable than that of my Luoshen Kingdom. Childe Joan interjected.

"Oh, I see, but how did General Zheng decide that the person who robbed the dart was a member of the Blood Knife Gang?"

"There is no direct evidence, but recently there is news from Qishan State, saying that insiders of the Blood Knife Gang have boasted after drinking that the Blood Knife Gang has never missed, and only missed once on Hengyunling three years ago. Therefore, I thought that it might be that the jade pendant was not robbed that day. ”

"Who is the man who said this?"

"It's just a rumor, and we don't know exactly who it is. However, I have arranged for someone to investigate the matter. As soon as there is news, Shangguan Gongzi will be notified immediately. ”

"So, I'll thank General Zheng in advance!" Shangguan Yun got up and bowed to Lao Zheng.

"Childe is polite!" Lao Zheng hurriedly returned the salute.

"Okay, Lao Zheng, you step aside. ”

"The subordinates retired. Lao Zheng immediately retreated to Gongzi Qiong.

"I don't know what the virtuous nephew thinks of this. ”

"Your Highness, although this matter is a bit eyebrow-raising, but there are still many suspicious things in the meantime, saying that this matter was done by the Blood Knife Gang, it is just a rumor, it may not be credible, there is nothing else to do for the time being, I want to go to Qishan Country by myself, and by the way, I will also travel. ”

"It's okay, I don't know when the virtuous nephew will leave. ”

"I don't dare to delay, my little nephew plans to set off now. ”

"Well, then I won't keep you more, this thing is for you, you can contact my Highness's Mansion at any time when you need it, as for how to use it, you will know it then." ”

Gongzi Qiong immediately handed Shangguan Yun a token, Shangguan Yun took it and looked at it, there was no word on the token, only a small Qionghua logo was engraved.
