Chapter 53: Hypocrisy

Let's say that Mo Zhuang leaned on the wall and eavesdropped on the conspiracy conversation between Guozhang and Lord Lang, Shi Er was shocked, Shi Er wanted to laugh, and at the same time concluded that the two would not be able to ask any clues from Yuan Beifeng's mouth, so he wanted to leave, and suddenly heard the slight footsteps of the three people, and it was expected that Yuan Beifeng was coming, so he simply stayed in place and continued to eavesdrop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Sure enough, Menzi reported: "Lord Yuan has arrived!"

"My subordinates have seen Lord Guozhang and Lord Lang. ”

"Lord Yuan, don't thank you, please get up!"

"Lord Xie Guozhang......"

"Lord Yuan, I urgently summoned you here because I want to know if Lord Yuan has arranged everything for tomorrow's departure!"

"Thank you for your concern, everything is in order, just wait for your order. ”

Lord Lang smiled at this time: "Lord Yuan, please use tea!"

"Lord Xie Lang!please!" Yuan Beifeng thanked him, picked up the tea bowl, and drank most of it in one gulp. It's just that Yashi drinks tea in the taste, how can he drink like this and swallow it like wine, Lord Guozhang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“...... is a rough man who doesn't understand the tea ceremony, which makes the two adults laugh. ”

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to take a bath in the rivers and seas, you don't have to be a horse, you don't have to be a lot of attention to drinking tea, or you can relax or quench your thirst, and it's good to use it. ”

Lord Lang and Yuan Beifeng nodded happily, needless to say. Lord Lang slowly lowered the tea bowl and said with a smile: "I have repeatedly discussed with the Guozhang Da and decided to start tomorrow, and Lord Yuan will lead your faction to open the way forward, I don't know what Lord Yuan wants?"

When Yuan Beifeng heard this, without thinking, he immediately got up and said, "This is the Rongxing of his subordinates." Self-commanded. ”

Mo Zhuang, who was eavesdropping outside, was disappointed when he heard it: "That's it." Yuan Beifeng was ordered by the imperial court, and it would be known to everyone. It is not conducive to the martial arts alliance leader to win the championship, won't it ruin my plan, since the Guozhang ordered Yuan Beifeng to open the way, then the Huashan Sword Sect can only be broken back, if the road is ambushed by the Broken Water Hall, how can I get out. ”

"Well, it's very good, if Lord Yuan opens the way, the old man will be much more relieved. The disappearance of Concubine Shunxian, don't leak half a word out!"

"Yes!"

Lord Lang interjected: "Lord Yuan opens the road in front, it is the most appropriate, after Wei Chuan is broken, he is also the best candidate, there is no shortage of strongmen on the road, if you encounter a robbery, Lord Yuan must not lose the prestige of the court." ”

"The subordinates are determined to ensure that the road is unimpeded, and those who dare to commit crimes will be violated. There is no mercy for killing. Yuan Beifeng said solemnly.

Kunijo-sama nodded.

Lord Lang leaned over and approached Yuan Beifeng, his expression was very cautious, his voice was extremely soft, and he said, "Huashan Sword Sect Wei Chuan." openly killing the lord of the eagle's head tent of the secret department of this dynasty shows that his heart is wild and has to be guarded against. After letting him break off, Lord Yuan still needs to send someone to monitor and respond. Just in case. ”

Lord Yuan was thoughtful, hugged his fists and said, "Forgive my subordinates for speaking bluntly." Lord Guozhang Yamato Lang should not have doubts about Wei Chiying, although this person has a violent temperament and a ruthless heart, but he acts decisively, never trusts mud and water, the most expensive thing is that he is a person with clear grievances, he crossed a battle and killed the Eagle King Mo Zhuang, because Mo Zhuang defiled his daughter, but the Lord Guozhang not only did not give him an account, but also protected his original position, he must be grateful to the Lord Guozhang, how can he take revenge, you must know that in the rivers and lakes, no faith will not stand. ”

Lord Guozhang nodded and said: "In this case, the matter of escorting is fully handed over to Lord Yuan, and all the horses and horses are subject to the command of Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Beifeng immediately got up and said, "This ...... The subordinates only know some kung fu with fists and feet, where can they ......"

Lord Lang got up at this time and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan doesn't need to pass the commission, Lord Guozhang has high hopes for Lord Yuan." ”

Yuan Beifeng pretended to hesitate, and under the praise of the abbot, he reluctantly responded, and Lord Lang immediately congratulated: "This trip Lord Yuan will set up the merit of escorting, and when the time comes, Lord Guozhang will say a few words in front of the saint, and Lord Yuan will not worry about adding officials to the knighthood and entering Kyoto." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Yuan Beifeng immediately said modestly, but the irrepressible joy on his face made everyone see that the excitement in his heart was all false.

"Lord Yuan doesn't have to be modest, just wait for the family to go north......" Lord Lang suddenly remembered something, and continued: "By the way, I heard that Ling Qianjin and Wei Chiying came together, so it's better to let her continue to walk with Wei Chiying all the way......"

Guozhang immediately shook his head and said: "It's not proper, girl's family, you should be protected, you shouldn't show your head, and you shouldn't be caught in the dangerous situation of opening the way and breaking the defense, all the female disciples of the Qingyun and Huashan factions should be listed as the flanks of Luan, and they are allowed to be escorted with swords." ”

When Yuan Beifeng heard this, his mind turned, and then he responded: "I respect the orders of Lord Guozhang." ”

Lord Lang didn't answer, but frowned and said to himself: "It is reported that the people of the Ice and Snow Country are also camped on the road they came, and they have been in and out of Gulou Village many times tonight. ”

Yuan Beifeng immediately understood: "Before setting off tomorrow, first strictly inspect your subordinates, and you must also conduct regular inspections along the way to prevent people from the ice and snow country from mixing in." The subordinates brought a total of eighty and three disciples with their relatives, and their names and faces were all memorized, presumably Wei Chiying did the same for his disciples, so his subordinates dared to ask Lord Guozhang and Lord Lang to submit a list of subordinates, and tomorrow morning, the subordinates will check on the spot!"

Guozhang sincerely admired: "Lord Yuan is really thoughtful and cautious, led by Lord Yuan, if you have any doubts, there is Lord Lao Lang." ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Guozhang suddenly said: "Take my token." ”

Suddenly, a maid in green, holding a brocade box, walked out of the inner room and saluted the abbot. Guozhang raised his hand and signaled the maidservant to hand the brocade box to Yuan Beifeng, and said solemnly: "This is the purple jade order, which belongs to the avant-garde of the palace, after the emperor ascended the throne, the avant-garde of the canonization hall was the tiger guard of the Xuanjian Mansion, and the Yuan Lord held this order, such as the old decay in person, and the line of my Dashun territory, the place without officials, that is, the official, the land of officials, is also the third product, after going out of the city, the old man from the shield guards the Shunxian concubine in front of the drive, does not release the order, and the Yuan Lord has full authority. ”

When Yuan Beifeng heard this, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

When Lord Lang saw that Yuan Beifeng had obtained the purple jade order, he didn't refuse like before, but hurriedly thanked him, and concluded that he was the one who held the purple jade order before. So he immediately showed a vigilant attitude, turned his face and said to the national abbot: "When the officials were rounding up the night thieves who stole the city. There was a thief holding a purple jade order, if it weren't for the lord of the country. Xia Guan was almost deceived, everyone was there at that time, if Lord Yuan demonstrated with the purple jade order in the future, would it attract criticism?"

Yuan Beifeng said with a frightened face: "How can this be...... This is a capital crime, who would dare to be so bold?"

Lord Lang suddenly looked frightened, and said to Lord Guozhang: "Isn't it a holy ......?"

"Lord Lang is too worried!" Guozhang immediately interrupted Lord Lang, got up and said: "The Holy Lord is the Lord of Wisdom, how can this be the case, Lord Lang should not speculate any more!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lord Lang was really shocked. Regretting that he was self-defeating and made a big deal of it, he continued: "The purple jade order is in charge of the Tiger Guard, this is the only one, can someone copy it...... No, this order is made by the secret work of the imperial court, and it is rarely seen in the public, who is so powerful!"

Guozhang said coldly: "Lord Lang doesn't know, Ziyu Ling." Not only one, but the Chinese courtiers, as long as they have the favor of the Holy Lord, can be escorted by the Tiger Guards. There is also a chance to get the purple jade order, and those who get the purple jade order can appoint their cronies on their own. Included in the Tiger Guards and reported to Xuanjian Mansion...... However, there are hundreds of officials in the DPRK. The ministers who hold the purple jade order are all in charge. Besides, all of them are civil officials who are not old and weak, who will order them to leave Beijing?"

Lord Lang immediately said: "If Lord Guozhang can give the purple jade order to Lord Yuan, it is difficult to protect that others cannot." ”

"Non also, non also, Xuanjian Mansion is controlled by the old decay, the production and distribution of the purple jade order, all through the hands of the old decay, all the old orders, all are withdrawn and abandoned, the new orders are engraved with the name of the holder, according to the law of the Great Shun Tiger Guard ban seal, but where the name of the purple jade order is not held by the person, there is no order, only the old decay this one, is a nameless order, and this square, two adults, please see. ”

When the Yuan people heard this, they opened the brocade box, which was indeed a two-inch square purple jade plate, surrounded by carved dragons, with a tiger head carved in it, the lines were horizontal and vertical, thick and thin, and the edges were rounded. Guozhang took the jade plate in his hand, presented the back to the two of them, only to see the four corners of the tiger's palm, the shape and posture are different, there are two dragons around the head and tail of the ring, the center position, engraved with three small swords, staggered cross, it is the sign of Xuanjian Mansion, and all the back patterns, are outlined by the circle lines, or a circle, or a semicircle, or take a quarter, very regular, can have such a handiwork, the world is rare, Lang, Yuan two people are amazed, show on the face.

"These three swords are the symbol of Xuanjian Mansion, and the purple jade orders held by other people are engraved with people's names here, maybe when Lord Lang saw the purple jade order, he thought it was an old decay secret department, and he didn't check it carefully!"

"The lower official has neglected!"

"You don't know, and it's reasonable to be overlooked. As he spoke, he handed the jade into Yuan Beifeng's hand, and slowly walked towards the tea house, with a shallow look of worry on his face.

Lord Lang noticed that he was thoughtful, and did not sit down, but pleaded: "Since we will set off at the beginning of the Shen Shi tomorrow, please rest, and we will retire first!"

The abbot nodded and mumbled.

After the two of them retreated, and after walking out of the courtyard, Lord Lang suddenly asked: "Lord Yuan was favored by the emperors of the Great Shun Dynasty, didn't he get the Tiger Guard?"

Yuan Beifeng was obedient and didn't pick it out, but pretended to be confused: " The ancestors of the Qingyun faction, just when the Dashun was founded and the dynasty was established, they had killed a few pawns of the elephant kingdom, how could they be flattered, they could get the favor of three generations of emperors, and they were indeed flattered, and the Qingyun faction was far away from the poor mountains and bad waters, even if it was the emperor's grace, it was also the door to welcome the decree, and the palace products were rewarded, where could the tiger guards escort such an honor, the ancestors of the Qingyun faction were also recorded, and the same as what the lord said, the purple jade orders were made and distributed by the Xuanjian Mansion, if the lower officials got the purple jade order, how could the lord of the country not know?

Lord Lang immediately smiled and said: "Hehe, Lord Yuan is modest, but Lord Yuan is high-spirited, indifferent to fame and fortune, and there are no laymen like us who strive for fame and fortune, relying on some trivial things, to ask for merit and reward, if not, let alone the purple jade order, even if the elephant riding order can be in your hands." ”

"What is the elephant riding order!" Yuan Beifeng asked in surprise.

When Lord Lang heard that Yuan Beifeng didn't know, he said proudly: "Riding the elephant order, commonly known as the white elephant jade, is engraved with an iron-armored soldier, a sword pierced into the waist, and also rode on the back of an elephant, swinging a knife to the neck of the elephant, and the back of the jade plate is engraved with the words 'I am coming', needless to say, you should understand what a holy thing the white elephant jade is." ”

"Thank you, Lord Lang. ”

Mo Zhuang quietly followed the two, and when he heard the white elephant jade that Lord Lang said, he was really startled, and whispered to himself: "Why haven't I heard of it!" However, at this moment, suddenly his eyes were dark, and his body was suddenly light, and in an instant, he had already drifted over the place of a shot, and hit the wall of a dead alley, and a sharp pain hit his whole body, making him dizzy.

"Where did this sword come from, and where is the owner of the sword?" one person asked sharply, but his voice was very low, as if he was going to eat Mo Zhuang raw. (To be continued.) )
