Old lady Cui naturally bowed to the sky in the north and said, "Since the old man Xuanwei let his little disciple enter the world, he expressed his approval. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What kind of attitude do you see towards Xu Chen?"
"It was a very proud and cold young man. ”
Old lady Cui didn't know what to think, and after saying this, he fell into a long silence, and when his old voice sounded again in the dark study, it made people feel more tired than before, and there was a chill that made people palpitate.
"The so-called look at his attitude, it is better to say that he wants to see him as a person, in recent years, a lot of strange changes have taken place, Haotian is above, I don't believe in the invasion of the underworld at all, but I firmly believe that there will be a big problem in this world, for Qinghe County, for us gate valves, maybe these strange changes indicate that the biggest opportunity in a thousand years will appear. ”
A thousand years ago, Qinghe County was incorporated into the Chaoyang Empire.
A thousand years from now, what opportunities will Qinghe County have?
There was a dead silence in the study, whether it was the six old men with the head of Hao or Cui Xiang who was standing quietly by the chair, they were all shocked by the hidden meaning of Old Lady Cui's words.
Old lady Cui continued: "We are loyal to the imperial court, but we must think about what we can do if the world is in chaos, it is a pity that in the past hundred years, there is no longer our queen of Qinghe County in the palace of the capital, and in the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army, there is no longer our great priest of Qinghe County, so there is very little we can do, we can only be prepared and wait in silence, so we have to see the attitude of the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army towards us, I want to see Xu Chen with my own eyes, and see the attitude of the Dushan Sect towards us." ”
"What is the attitude of the Dushan Sect towards us?"
"As I said before, Xu Chen is a very proud and indifferent ...... No, very cold-blooded people. Being cold-blooded may just be his temperament, but pride is a boring temper that runs through the thousand-year-old history of the Dushan Sect, and it has not changed in the slightest to this day. The Duishan Sect has the entire Chaoyang Worship, so we don't need to care about our family gates, then we don't have any bargaining chips, let alone the qualifications for pride, and there is no room for bargaining with the Duishan Sect. ”
Old lady Cui said indifferently: "The three offerings entered the capital and died inexplicably, Dushan Sect didn't care at all, and the court didn't say anything, just because we Qinghe didn't deserve their respect." ”
"Of course, we still have to do the preparations. ”
Old lady Cui looked at an old man in the shadows and said, "Has the reply from the Western Jin Dynasty arrived?"
The old man said, "It's early morning, idiot...... In the letter, the Adjudron expressed his gratitude. ”
Old lady Cui nodded and said, "Being able to help Ye Tong sit firmly in the position of the ruling god seat can be regarded as a good fate." ”
The old man suddenly said: "Maybe we can suppress this little gentleman and show our strength, so that we can get more respect from the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army." ”
"Meaningless things, no matter how much you do, I don't care what the descendants of your family who are in the Western Jin Dynasty Divine Army have asked you in private, I just want to remind you that Xu Chen's little maid will become the Great Divine Priest of the Western Jin Dynasty, and his relationship with the Ruling Divine Throne is more complicated than we imagined. ”
Old Lady Cui leaned forward slightly, revealing her wrinkled face, looked at the old man, and said with an unquestionable attitude: "The most important thing is that if there is no change in the Dushan Sect, there will be no force in this world that is qualified to change, and all people can only wait." ”
Everyone in the building understood that the Dushan Sect in this sentence was not referring to the Dushan Sect, but to the Xuanwei in the Dushan Sect, so they were silent and silent, and then finally someone asked a question in silence.
"When I was very young, I knew that there was a big mountain in the Dushan Sect, and now I am also in my eighties, but that big mountain still stands in the south of the capital, how long will we have to wait?"
Old lady Cui bowed to the north again, and said: "Xuanwei has not left this world, then we can only wait, we can't wait, our son, our grandson can always wait for that day, no matter how great a person is, he can't resist the law of time after all, there will always be a day when he returns to Haotian Shenhui." ”
There was silence in the study, and suddenly someone asked in a trembling voice, "What if...... What if Xuanwei never dies?"
Old lady Cui's body stiffened slightly.
In the dark shadows, a self-deprecating smile could be faintly seen on his old face, and then he sighed softly: "If this is the case, then we can only wait forever, extremely respectfully and meekly, even if we are dogs, we must make the appearance of being raised." ”
This is the end of the conversation.
In this world, countless conversations, countless conspiracies, and countless paths will all be forced to come to an abrupt end in the end, because there is a big mountain at the end, and the name of that big mountain is Xuanwei.
The six old men left the small building and returned to their respective manors to continue to be the masters of their gates, or the old dogs with a thousand years of suppressed dreams.
Old lady Cui and Cui Xiang did not leave.
"If there ever is a day, my name will probably be engraved on the pillar of shame in history. ”
Old lady Cui said.
But your name may also be recorded at the very beginning of the history books. ”
Cui said.
At the end of this conversation, Cui Xiang still couldn't hold back after all, and asked his father the question that he had been thinking about before.
"You said earlier that Xu Chen was a proud and cold-blooded person, and I have a different opinion. In the past few years, the news from the capital, including the princess's mansion, has said that this person seems to be clear but is actually extremely shameless, and he is very good at welcoming him, so both Xuanwei and His Majesty love him very much, how can such a person be proud?"
Old lady Cui smiled and did not speak.
Cui Yu smiled bitterly and continued: "Okay, even if this person learns to be proud in the Blue Kite Pavilion of the Dushan Sect, where does the cold-bloodedness come from? I always thought that the resume information of the military department was countless, and he could even maintain a good relationship with Ye Tong, in my opinion, Xu Chen is really long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he is very practical in the world. ”
Mrs. Cui said: "Looking at the resume, listening to the story naturally can't see a person clearly, so I insist on taking a look at him with my own eyes, although it is enough to take a brief look at it twice." ”
Cui Xiang was slightly stunned.
Everyone knew that Xu Chen was going to the Leadhua Temple, but he didn't follow the mission, although he stayed in the best inn in Yangguan City, he didn't have any servants with him. I only saw him and his famous little maid, I saw him holding tea, but he didn't drink it, I saw him talking to you with his seemingly dashing but vigilant eyes, but I didn't see that he loved to be quiet and good at nurturing his spirit. ”
Old lady Cui said: "This is his habit of life engraved in his bones, so it can only show that he is a young man who is extremely cautious, and at the same time a person who doesn't know how to write the word trust, I even thought that except for the little maid, or he didn't even want to fully believe in Xuanwei." ”
Cui Xiang was silent.
Old lady Cui looked at the black thick curtain on the window, thought about the young man in the inn before, sighed and said: "Even a teacher like Xuanwei refuses to trust, where can such a person be described as just cold, if there is really a big change in the future, you must remember that you must make the Western Jin Dynasty promise in advance that this young man must be erased first, otherwise we may pay an unimaginable price." ”
Two secret letters from Qinghe County came to the capital.
A letter was sent to the South Gate Temple outside the Imperial City through the system of Chaoyang Secret Guards, because the recipient of this letter was Li Yin, the national teacher of Chaoyang.
After a while, He Mingchi walked out of the south gate, he glanced at the clear and high sky, thinking that it might rain later, clamped and tightened the butter paper umbrella under his armpit, and boarded the carriage.
Under the respectful leadership of the steward, He Mingchi walked into the depths of the princess's mansion, came to the terrace that was very famous in the social circle of the capital, and greeted the princess on the couch calmly.
The princess frowned slightly, waved her hand and motioned for Mama to take Xiao Man, who was writing calligraphy, away, and then stretched out her hand to invite He Mingchi to sit down, and asked, "There seems to be some problems." ”
He Mingchi did not sit down, this seemingly inconspicuous action means that the princess's perception is not wrong, there are indeed some problems, and this problem is not small.
He took the letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
The princess took the letter, tore open the cover, looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, looked slightly stunned, and after seeing the contents of the letter, her brows couldn't help frowning.
The letter was written by Xu Chen to the national teacher Li Yin, in which he mentioned what he had seen and heard in Qinghe County, especially the temptation made by Cui Valve through the red sleeve move, and the old steward who went to the inn to see him.
Qinghe County Zhumen is now the biggest help of the princess sister and brother in the government and the opposition, if she wants to help her younger brother to climb the dragon chair, she needs the recognition of the Mountain Sect the most, but she can't leave the help of Qinghe County.
The princess didn't know Xu Chen's intention in writing this letter, but she vaguely understood the meaning of the national teacher to pass on the letter to herself, she frowned slightly, and said: "I sometimes don't understand the actions of those old people, I can only say that these things have nothing to do with me. ”
He Mingchi nodded and said, "I will bring His Highness's words back to the South Gate Temple." ”
The princess raised her head, looked at him quietly, and asked, "The national teacher didn't need to show me this letter, he could bring it directly into the palace, whether it was for his father or the queen." ”
He Mingchi smiled slightly and said, "What the master means, I, as an apprentice, don't know very well, but since the matter of Qinghe County has nothing to do with His Highness, I think the master will also be very happy." ”
The meaning of this sentence is very vague, and it can even be said that there is no meaning at all, but the princess, as a person in the bureau, vaguely captures a certain tendency in it, and her eyes brighten slightly.
"Hongu is grateful for the trust of the national teacher. ”
The second letter from Qinghe County was sent to the Dushan Sect.
Professor Huang He looked at the words on the envelope, smiled, and let people take it into the back mountain without opening the envelope.
The person who read the letter was the second senior brother.
When he read the letter, he was next to Xuanwei.
The second senior brother bowed respectfully to the teacher and said, "The little junior brother has seen some problems. ”
Xuan Wei's mind at this time was all on the little yellow croaker fried on the iron plate, and he asked casually, "Is it serious?"
The second senior brother thought for a while and said, "There are only two people in Qinghe County who know their fate, and they are not serious. ”
Xuan Wei said: "In that case, why are you still bothering me to do it? Don't you see that I'm busy?"
The second senior brother was slightly stunned and said, "How to deal with it?"
Xuan Wei said: "Your little junior brother is cooking fish on the shore of Daming Lake to enlighten the Tao, but he still hasn't understood the truth of the world, whether the fish is fried or cooked, it is ultimately used to eat." ”
The second senior brother was taught and said, "Then wait for them to jump off the beam." ”
Xuanwei suddenly thought of something, her expression was slightly condensed, and she forgot to take out the bamboo shovel in her hand from the pot, the edges gradually burned, and the little yellow croaker began to smell mush.
I don't know how long it took, he smiled and said: "If you die a fisherman, you won't be able to catch fish, if you die a cook, you won't be able to fry fish, and the pillars can't hold on to the broken house forever. ”
Xu Chen didn't know that the ancestor of Qinghe County had such a profound and cautious evaluation of himself, and after the maid confirmed that there was something wrong with the old steward, he wrote two letters and sent them back to the capital as soon as possible, and he didn't think about this matter again.
He was ranked last in the back mountain of the Dushan Sect, and there were Xuanwei and all the extremely powerful senior brothers and sisters on it, and the problems of Qinghe County were dealt with by them, where did he need to worry about it, so he took the maid and left Yangguan City in the black carriage that day, and stopped in front of a ferry two days later.
There were no unsightly thieves to rob, no stupid government wanted to collect taxes, and what stopped the carriage was a steaming, boundless water with autumn reeds.
The lake in front of the southern wilderness of the Chaoyang Empire, the name sounds very ordinary, called Daze, and only those who have really been to Daze can feel the spirit contained in this simple name - this lake is so big that except for the big characters, there is no word in the world that is qualified to describe it.
It's like the yellow river farther south.
Daze is vast, endless, and there are many miles in a radius, even birds can hardly cross in one go, and if there is no ferry, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, he will not be able to pass.
This largest lake in the world, between the two most powerful countries in the world, if Haotian made a buffer between Chaoyang and the Southern Jin Dynasty, it brought peace to the people of the world, but also brought a lot of inconvenience, the goods and personnel from the north and south want to circulate, naturally there are all kinds of ferries, when the water vapor dissipates, you can see countless sails behind the autumn reeds, the scenery is magnificent and beautiful.
But the black carriage could only stop next to Osawa and wait. Because the junction leading to the Southern Jin Dynasty has been under martial law, Chaoyang and several warships of the Navy Division are waiting for the arrival of the mission.
Xu Chen has many ways to ignore martial law and leave lightly, but whether it is for the sake of tranquility, but as indifferent and cautious as Old Lady Cui commented, waiting for the mission to accompany him is more suitable than him taking out his waist card to show his identity, and letting Chaoyang and the sailor open the way for him.
Fortunately, the scenery of Daze was pleasant enough, and the mission did not let him wait too long, just when he was about to get tired of the reeds in early autumn and get tired of eating raw cut lake fish, the mission arrived.
On the warships of Chaoyang and the sailors, Xu Chen saw for the first time the envoy of the mission, Xian Zhilang, the general of Zhenxi who was famous for his weakness and amazing resourcefulness.
The sky above the main hall of the warship was empty, and Xu Chen and Xian Zhilang sat opposite each other, because when it came to status, it was really difficult for the two of them to distinguish a strong and weak priority.
This general of Zhenxi is not simple.
This is Xian Zhilang's first impression of Xu Chen.
He looked at the woman across from him, with a scribe-like temperament, and said in his heart.
"I am Her Royal Highness the Princess, to be more precise, if Your Majesty leaves, I will be loyal to Prince Li Huiyuan, you don't have to look at me like this, this matter cannot become an eternal secret after all. ”
Xian Zhilang looked at him and smiled and said: "When Her Royal Highness the princess tried to let me take Ximen Wang's place, this secret was no longer a secret, and I believe that now that the queen mother in the palace has tried her best to get Her Majesty to drive me into this mission, she should have investigated my relationship with the queen mother in front of me." ”
The conversation was very open and honest, but it reminded Xu Chen of the opening remarks of the head of the Cui Valve family in Yangguan City, so he smiled and asked very directly: "I don't know." ”
Xian Zhilang said: "When Empress Renxiao didn't marry into the palace, I was the little maid who led the horse for her. ”
Xu Chen said: "This relationship is very far-reaching. ”
Xian Zhilang looked into his eyes and said, "And I have a good relationship with Chao Xiaoshu." ”
Xu Chen said, "What do you want to say?"
Sin Zhilang said: "I want to get your favor. ”
Xu Chen said: "It is strictly forbidden to interfere in the government affairs of the Dushan Sect, not to mention that you are already one of the few big names in the military, I don't think it means anything to you to gain my favor." ”
Xian Zhilang smiled and said: "It is strictly forbidden to interfere in the government affairs of the Doushan Sect, but it has never included people who have joined the WTO, if you can't do anything, what will the dean let you do when you join the WTO......?"
He leaned forward suddenly, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "...... Xu Shi is old. ”
Xu Chen looked at him and shook his head and said, "It seems that I still underestimated your ambitions, and you overestimated me, don't forget that I am now the most unpopular person in the Chaoyang military." ”
Sin Zhilang smiled and said, "I welcome you. ”
Xu Chen didn't answer this sentence because he didn't know how to answer it, but when Xian Zhilang mentioned the princess, when he asked him to ask the following question, there was a lot less psychological barrier.
"It's impossible for Your Majesty not to know that you once led a horse for Empress Renxiao, and I don't believe in those rumors in the court, so I want to know why Your Majesty wants you to go to the Leadhua Temple. ”
Xian Zhilang's expression was slightly condensed, and he looked at him and said, "Of course, all countries gather in Ranke, of course, not just for the Yu Lan Festival...... It is still necessary to discuss the war with the desolate people next year. ”
Xu Chen frowned slightly, thinking about the continuous battles in the wasteland in the past two years, and said puzzledly: "The Left Tent Royal Court was plowed by the desolate people, and it was weakened by the Divine Army Coalition and Ximen Wang, and now there is no strength to snatch back those grasslands from the desolate people...... I can't think of any reason why these countries like Chaoyang and the Southern Jin Dynasty want to take action for the Zuo Tent Royal Court, wouldn't it be good to let the wastelands live peacefully in the wasteland?"
