Chapter 12: This Time Must Be Successful
After a while, Zhou Qingxuan took Yue Buqun and walked back to the courtyard where Wudang had assigned it to the Huashan faction and his party.
When Zhou Budo heard the footsteps, he knew that it was his cheap father and Yue Buqun who were back, and hurriedly greeted him. Zhou Budo, who just wanted to inquire about what was going on, found that Zhou Qingxuan's face was strange, and he secretly said that he was surprised in his heart, if Liu Qingshan should have done this, Zhou Qingxuan would never have such a face. But if Liu Qingshan shirked or even refused, Zhou Qingxuan would be very dissatisfied. Why does this face look so weird? And Yue Buqun, his face is also extremely weird.
Zhou Budo thought to himself: "What the hell is going on? Why is it cheap that Daddy and Senior Brother Yue are acting like this?"
At this time, Yue Buqun was not the gentleman sword of Huashan who had hidden thoughts and the abyss of the city was like the sea. As far as Yue Buqun's current city mansion is concerned, Zhou Budo can see through it at a glance. Judging from Yue Buqun's equally strange face, Zhou Budo knew that something must have happened.
Without going through the tempering of the world, without the tragedy of cannibalism with the same family, without going through the drastic changes of the master, the so-called martial arts fellow martial arts is warm and cold, although he has also cultivated his qi for 20 years, although he has also tried his best to pretend to be like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face does not change, but this can also be pretended? This world can pretend to be anything, but this realm is categorically unable to pretend. How can a young man in his early twenties, who has no experience and experience at all, not reach that realm, pretend to be like Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face? This is a realm that even high-ranking officials who have been up and down in the sea for a long time and have worked hard for decades may not be able to grasp it, and if they can pretend to be able to do so by force, will there still be so many frustrated politicians in the ground that day? If Yue Buqun can force this appearance today, the imperial envoy of bird walking and the flower book in Nanjing City can simply find a piece of tofu and kill him.
Seeing Zhou Qingxuan like this, Zhou Budo didn't dare to step forward to ask. I don't know how complicated the entanglement of interests is that makes Zhou Qingxuan show such a strange expression, at this time Zhou Qingxuan doesn't know what kind of calculation is being carried out, if Zhou Budo runs over to interrupt at this time, then wait to be punished. Waiting for Zhou Qingxuan to enter the room, Zhou Budo pulled Yue Buqun, who was following behind: "Senior Brother Yue, what's going on?"
Yue Buqun was originally a little speechless, but under the strong pressure of Zhou Budo, he finally confided the truth: "Uncle Fangcai, the head of the sect, took his junior brother to find Uncle Liu of the Hengshan faction, and it happened that Senior Uncle Liu came over with Senior Brother Mo and Senior Brother Liu on the way. Uncle Liu was extremely polite when he saw the head of the sect, and invited the head of the master to his courtyard to discuss the matter of resisting the Demon Sect. Later, the head of the family proposed to ask Uncle Liu to mention the matter of the senior brother and Sun Zhenren, who knew that after Uncle Liu learned that it was the senior sister of Wudang Mountain, he said that the senior sister of Wudang was definitely not a good match, and said... And said..."
Zhou Bu asked, "What else did Uncle Liu say?!"
"Uncle Liu said: 'That Lingxiao girl, after playing a ten-year-old martial arts achievement, challenged the senior brothers and sisters up and down Wudang Mountain in three days, if she hadn't been young at the time. It's hard for the big guys to say anything, I'm afraid I'll have already sued Sun Zhenren'" Yue Buqun tried his best to imitate Liu Qingshan's tone, not to mention, it was really similar to learning.
"Brothers and sisters of the same sect learn from each other, what is there to tell about this?" Zhou Bu questioned.
"That's what the head of the family said. But Uncle Liu said again: "But if you lose, you won't let go of it." That's it, Senior Brother Zhou, do you know that up and down this Wudang Mountain, in addition to the Taoist priests who have officially become ordained monks, how many male disciples are staring at this Lingxiao girl? There are not a thousand but eight hundred, and the last time Xue Hou sent his daughter over to apprentice, he also told the True Xuan Daoist about asking for marriage to Xue Xu, the second son of his eldest son who died early. Now the Marquis of Xue in the middle of the court is gaining power again, and the new emperor has relied on him a lot after he ascended the throne. It is reported that Xue Hou has a daughter, who is deeply loved by Xue Hou, and she is also very beautiful, so it is better for Senior Brother Zhou to go to Xue Hou's mansion to ask for Zhou to marry Xue Hou's daughter-in-law. Isn't it beautiful that the marriage between the two of you is even better?'" After finishing speaking, Yue Buqun's face became more and more strange. "Senior brother, what do you mean by Uncle Liu?"
Mo said that it was Yue Buqun, and after listening to it, he also had a strange look on his face. However, Zhou Budo had a strange look on his face because he figured out Liu Qingshan's thoughts. Whether Xue Hou made a move to ask for marriage, Zhou Bu did not know, and he didn't bother to ask for verification. He only knew that Liu Qingshan had only one purpose in saying these words! That is, not to allow the forces of the Huashan faction to get involved in Huguang!
The Huashan faction is now the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, and it is the most powerful and powerful faction among the Wuyue Sword Sect. The other four mountains were originally quite jealous of the Huashan faction, and now they want to marry the Taishan Beidou with the Wudang faction, just a marriage, even if the Huashan faction chooses the most powerful Shaolin Temple in today's righteous martial arts, with the character of the dog of the Hengshan faction, most of them will not ask. Although Lingxiao's grandfather is the real person in charge of Wudang Mountain and not the head of Wudang, he can't directly ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but his influence on the martial arts will not be much weaker. Once Zhou Budo took Lingxiao and the two families married, in Liu Qingshan's opinion, the forces of the Huashan faction would be able to enter Huguang smoothly. This is unacceptable to Liu Qingshan, if this matter is really contributed, in the future, if the Huashan faction wants to annex Hengshan, it will be an easy matter. On the contrary, even if the Huashan faction and Xue Hou marry, it is only to strengthen the connection between the two families, and it will not have the slightest impact on the Hengshan faction, which is the basis of Liu Qingshan's suggestion that Zhou Budo marry Xue Xuan.
In fact, if you really want to talk about the origin, the Hengshan faction is the oldest of the Wuyue Sword Sect, and even the Taishan faction, when it comes to stepping into the martial arts, is not as good as the Hengshan faction. In terms of scenery, it is the Huashan faction in its heyday in the past, and it is not as good as Hengshan in its heyday.
On the occasion of the two Song Dynasty of that year, the head of the Hengshan faction, Dugu Sword, won the position of the leader of the martial arts league by virtue of his invincible martial arts in the competition. The leader of the group is Lun, and he goes north to resist Jin. At that time, even Wang Chongyang, the patriarch of the Quanzhen Sect, was still studying at home to test his fame.
It's a pity that the Hengshan faction has no successor, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain. Today, the Hengshan faction has fallen to the point of being at the bottom of the second-rate martial arts. Among the Wuyue Sword Sect, except for Beiyue Hengshan because it is a group of women and has congenital limitations, it is not as good as Hengshan, and even the Taishan faction, which lacks high-end combat power, is better than Hengshan. In fact, the Hengshan faction does not lack martial arts cheats, nor does it lack fame in the rivers and lakes, or even high-end combat power. Even today, if everyone in Huguang wants to send their children to practice martial arts, the first choice is still not Wudang, but the Hengshan faction. What the Hengshan faction lacks now is the support from the imperial court and a rich industry. Even the head disciple has reached the point where he wants to become a bounty hunter to earn silver to support his family, which shows the embarrassment of the Hengshan faction now.
And the weaker the sect, the more it can feel the sinister and endless crises of the rivers and lakes all the time. Especially the Hengshan faction, which has been glorious and experienced vicissitudes of life, is even more so. This kind of sect is more aware of this martial arts where everyone puts chivalrous righteousness on their lips than those emerging small factions, and knows better that in this martial arts full of sinister martial arts, what righteousness and chivalry are all lip service, the weak eat the strong, this is martial arts. It is a matter of the survival of the sect and the survival of the Taoist system, so it is no wonder that Liu Qingshan reacted so much to Zhou Budo marrying Lingxiao.
Although Zhou Budo has a lot of understanding of Liu Qingshan's refusal to be a matchmaker, but from his point of view, this Liu Qingshan is really unwanted, in the logic of the Qiong Yao faction in later generations, how can he break up a pair of lovers for the benefit of the gang? Not to mention that Xue Yu Zhou Budo has also seen it, beautiful is beautiful, and marrying is indeed beneficial to the strengthening of the alliance between the Huashan faction and Xue Hou. But this made Zhou Bu doubt himself. No matter how eccentric Lingxiao is, there is still a bit of a woman's breath, and Zhou Budo can control her pulse. But that Xue Yu, in later words, is simply a female man, what do you do when she marries back? It makes Huashan unpeaceful? It makes his own house uneasy? Zhou Budo clearly remembers that there are still six years to go, and Xue Lu's deadline is about to arrive, and the eldest son and second grandson who inherits the title are not very powerful. Could it be that Zhou Budo would put his life in with his beloved woman in order to please a dead man who was about to die?
"But if you want to marry Lingxiao home, you do have to put a little effort into it. Zhou Budo said to himself in his heart. Zhou Budo knew that in fact, according to history, Biyun Zhenren should have died seven years ago, and somehow, his life has been extended to this day. But who can guarantee that Biyun Zhenren will live for ten years and eight years? Even Sun Zhenren himself may not be able to guarantee that when the time comes, he will offend Xue Hou and the Hengshan faction, and Sun Zhenren will rashly become an immortal. For Huashan, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Why did I just think of it!" Zhou Budo patted his head, why didn't he think of such an idea earlier? In fact, it was not that Zhou Budo couldn't think of it, but this move was really unfair to Lingxiao, and Wudang Mountain would never do such a thing that damaged the majesty of Wudang. But now for the sake of the love between the two, I can't care so much. "I think Lingxiao will agree. This time we must succeed," Zhou Budo said to himself. But in fact, he knew in his heart that this was just to reassure himself, in fact, if he really told Lingxiao, he might make some trouble. But that's all he can think of now.
