"Shaoyou, has anything happened in the Northern Martial Arts recently?" As soon as he stepped into the hall, Zhou Muyu asked out loud. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Master Qiqi, in the past month, the Northern Martial Arts has been calm and calm, and nothing major has happened. Yan Shaoyou replied truthfully.
"Oh, what have the Golden Daomen and other powerful forces been doing recently? Zhou Muyu then asked.
"According to the spies' report, after Yan Zhenxiao and the others returned from the Sword Alliance, the Golden Dao Gate has been in a state of semi-sealing, and many wealthy young men who have come to apprentice have been turned away by them, and it seems that there is some ulterior secret? The Sword Alliance sent disciples to guard the border between the Northern Land and the Northern Wilderness, after all, the cold winter is coming, and the barbarians are likely to go south to rob the people of their food. There is nothing abnormal in Tianxiang Pavilion, and it is still making a fortune in a muffled voice. Yan Shaoyou will report.
"Let them go, I don't have the heart to care about them for the teacher, now there is still a month before the end of the year, the disciples should also go home to save their relatives, less travel, tomorrow you will count, how many disciples want to go home, three days later, notify the teacher, for the teacher will personally send them down the mountain." Zhou Muyu touched his chin and commanded softly.
"Disciple obeys!" Yan Shaoyou clenched his fists and received the order.
Zhou Muyu nodded: "Okay, you guys should step back first, there is something for the teacher to send a disciple to inform you." ”
Yan Shaoyou and Song Yunfeng immediately saluted and retired, but Xun Lie was still standing in front of Zhou Muyu. Zhou Muyu looked at his founding disciple Xun Lie, and asked softly, "Xiao Lie, do you have anything else?"
Xun Lie paused, and said in a deep voice: "Master, the disciple wants to go down the mountain to practice for a month before the end of the year. ”
"Why do you have this idea?" Zhou Muyu continued to ask.
"Master, since the two junior disciples came back from the experience, they have made great progress, and now the disciples have encountered a bottleneck, and they want to go out to see the outside world and seek a breakthrough. Xun Lie said.
"You have already been born as a teacher, you have your own ideas, you think it is feasible, you can do it, but the year must be spent here!" Zhou Muyu stood with his hands in his hands and looked at Xun Lie lightly.
"Thank you, Master, the disciple has retired!" Xun Lie said goodbye and left.
Zhou Muyu quietly looked at Xun Lie's departing back, smiled, and sighed: "In a blink of an eye, it's been six years..."
The night is gradually coming, at this time, the Northern Wilderness Royal Court is under the call of the barbarian king Hu Yanhao, for the two Hu Yanli who brought back the blood of the tyrant to hold a commendation meeting, just when the people in the Northern Wilderness were carnivaling, a minister came to Hu Yanhao's side in a panic, whispered a few words in his ear, the smile on Hu Yanhao's face suddenly froze, he put down the wine glass in his hand, apologized to the carnival crowd, and then took Zuo Xian Wang Hu Yanlu to change the old national teacher back to the royal court tent.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Hu Yanlu couldn't help but ask when he saw Hu Yanhao being so dignified.
"Alas... Tie Xiang has just sent someone to send news that the hateful Nanren have actually tripled the price of grain and coal!" Hu Yanhao sighed and said helplessly.
"What! These damned southerners are clearly taking advantage of the fire to rob, the king, the minister asks for orders, personally lead an army, and go to grab resources!"
"King Zuo Xian, don't be rash!" the old national teacher stepped forward with a wooden staff to persuade him.
Facing the old national teacher, Hu Yanli didn't dare to be unreasonable, he suppressed his anger, understood the reason, and said with emotion: "Old national teacher, are we just waiting for the cold winter to come, watching the clansmen being frozen to death?"
"King Zuo Xian, we can't expose the strength of our clan yet, we must hide our strength, paralyze the southerners, and wait for the 'Ancient Barbarian Dragon' plan to succeed, so that we can have the opportunity to conquer the entire northern land in one go!"
"Then how are we going to survive this winter?" asked King Zuo Xian.
"Since they want gold and silver, then give them to them, for they are all outside of their bodies anyway. The old national teacher said softly.
"But after all, this is the blood and sweat of the clansmen, and it was so easily given to that group of hateful southerners, this king is really not convinced!" Hu Yanqi's voice raised.
"Yes, I agree with King Zuo Xian's statement, why should you easily hand over the hard-earned money of the clansmen to those southerners profiteers!" The big tent was opened, and the three of them looked at it, it was the protagonist of today's commendation meeting - Hu Yanli.
"Hu Yanli, you are so bold! Without the summons of the barbarian king, you dare to trespass into the royal court's big tent!" Hu Yanli said angrily.
However, Hu Yanli ignored him, and walked in front of Hu Yanhao with a smile.
Seeing that Hu Yanli had no one in his eyes, Hu Yanli was furious: "Shaft, dare to do this!"
"Uncle Wang, please calm your anger. Seeing that Hu Yanli was furious, Hu Yanhao immediately blocked in front of Hu Yanli.
"Xiao Li, quickly apologize to Uncle Wang!" Hu Yanhao commanded.
However, Hu Yanli did not listen to his brother's words, but asked Hu Yanhao for help: "Brother Wang, I am willing to go to the north with King Zuo Xian to teach the insatiable a little lesson!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Nanren are insatiable, and if we endure it again, their asking price for next year will be even higher! Hu Yanli temporarily put aside his anger at Hu Yanli and said.
Hu Yanhao thought for a moment and felt that Hu Yanli's proposal was very good, but he still moved his eyes to the old national teacher: "National teacher, I think what Uncle Wang said is very reasonable, the southerners just treat us as fat sheep, we spend a lot of money, but we can only exchange a small amount of coarse grain waste carbon, our blind tolerance will only promote the atmosphere of the southerners profiteers, this is undoubtedly a chronic suicide!"
The old national teacher sighed and no longer persuaded: "Since the king has made a decision, then the old minister should also second." ”
"Okay, as soon as King Zuo Xian's son is over today, you and Hu Yanli will take five thousand elite horses and go south to Liwei!" Hu Yanhao ordered in a deep voice.
"Minister, take the order!" Hu Yanqi hugged his fist and received the order.
"Okay, there's not much time, King Zuo Xian, you two go down first to prepare. ”
"Minister, retire!"
After finishing speaking, Zuoxian Wang Hu Yanli and Hu Yanli withdrew directly from the royal court's big tent.
Seeing the two leaving, the old national teacher also retired to Hu Yanhao in front of him: "Your Majesty, the old minister has also retired." ”
"National teacher, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Hu Yanhao said softly.
"Minister, don't dare!" the old national teacher came into Hu Yanhao's ears in a hoarse voice.
"I know that you don't agree with the Southern Expedition, but my brother is asking for help for the first time, and I can't discourage him. Hu Yanhao said quietly.
"Alas... Your Majesty, you love him too much..."The old national teacher sighed.
"Before my mother died, she told me to take good care of my younger brother, but for the sake of the great cause of the barbarians, I had to let him take the essence blood of strange beasts, and become not like a man, and a beast not like a beast. It's me who owes him too much..."Hu Yanhao showed his fragile side in front of the old national teacher.
"Alas... Your Majesty, you are exactly the same as the previous kings, and they are both so affectionate. A trace of remembrance flashed in the eyes of the old national teacher.
"Uncle Wang said the same, but he didn't want me to be like my dead father. ”
"Oh?" a gleam flashed in the old national teacher's eyes.
"Okay, it's not too early, national teacher, you are sick, go back and have a good rest. ”
"Your Majesty, you also rest early, and your ministers retire. ”
The old national teacher withdrew from the big tent of the royal court, looked at the big tent of King Zuoxian, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes, he shook his head and slowly returned to his tent.
