The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the so-called chivalrous love and hatred of the rivers and lakes are just a joke in the eyes of some superiors.

The one-armed scholar Li Wei saw this clearly and defected to the imperial court without hesitation, for which he was criticized and even insulted by the people in the rivers and lakes, but he also obtained the greatest benefits for him.

In the same way, in the eyes of Li Wei and others, the bane of this northwest frontier is in a money word, the silver is white, but the eyes of the silver are black.

But the most ironic thing is that maybe this money may be extremely important to a second-rate sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect, which is biased towards one side, so important that even if you sacrifice your own deputy sect master, you have to fight for it. The gains and losses of this money can even be related to the rise and fall of the entire sect and the life and death of thousands of people.

But for first-class sects such as the Famous Sword Villa and the Qingshan Sect, although it is also a piece of fat that makes people blush, it is not necessary to get it, at least the lack of these items every year will not affect the foundation of the sect.

That's why Qi Haonan, the owner of Mingjian Mountain Villa, sent his son Qi Yufei to carry out this mission, which was a test for Qi Yufei. If the task is completed well, everyone will naturally be happy, which greatly increases Qi Yufei's reputation in the Famous Sword Villa and even the entire Northwest Martial Arts.

For Qi Haonan, as long as this mission is successful, he can consolidate his son's position in the Famous Sword Villa and pave the way for Qi Yufei to inherit the Famous Sword Villa.

After all, the martial arts sect is different from the royal family and nobles, and the status cannot be inherited only by bloodline, and those apprentices and junior brothers of Qi Haonan also have the opportunity to become the owner of the Famous Sword Mountain Villa. The power disputes within the famous factions, the intrigue is not inferior to the palace Ouchi.

Of course, with Qi Haonan here, even if Qi Yufei fails, it's nothing, just as a young man to increase his experience. After all, in Qi Haonan's heart, the annual income of more than 100,000 taels of silver is obviously not as important as a qualified heir.

If this is known to Deputy Sect Master Wu, who died tragically for the Heavenly Sword Gate, I don't know how he will feel. Will you get up angrily and shout three times, "The sky is unfair?"

If things are as simple as they seem, it won't be a big deal for the higher-ups, it's just a few more vendettas and headless public cases, and it won't alarm the court at all.

As long as the taxes of Tianxia Pass are abundant, the imperial court is too lazy to care about these bullshit in the rivers and lakes, but this time the imperial court even sent one-armed scholars.

Since the one-armed scholar appeared in Tianxia Pass, it shows that things are much more complicated and troublesome than imagined. Who let these martial arts sects extend their claws to the imperial court officials, and even mix with the army, this is something that no emperor of any dynasty can tolerate.

At this time, the one-armed scholar had already listened to the report of the young officer, and Li Wei was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, and he was also very clear about the situation in the northwest martial arts, and now he knew it even more clearly after listening to the introduction of these people.

Thinking of the task that His Majesty personally gave him before he left the capital, Li Wei shook his head and sighed, Li Wei's task was also very simple. Use these trade rights and smuggling routes as bait to attract all parties in the northwest martial arts to fight, and let these knights kill each other without a single soldier.

The imperial court or His Majesty the Emperor is not going to completely eradicate these sects, if these sects are destroyed, it will only weaken the strength of the Great Wei. Especially in the northwest, which is close to the grasslands, if things get too big and too many people die, it is difficult to guarantee that those big tribes close to the Great Wall will not make any changes.

The imperial court just hoped to take this opportunity to quietly clean up the people who had been planted in the army and the official palace of these sects, and take back power into the hands of the royal family and the imperial court.

As the royal family has been doing for a hundred years, it has constantly cracked down on those famous factions that threaten the authority of the imperial court, but it has given the people in the rivers and lakes a ray of life, so that they will not really rise up, and truly realize that the martial arts belong to the martial arts, and the imperial court returns to the imperial court.

At this time, there was no need for them to provoke the imperial eagle dogs in this Tianxia Pass, and these sects had already begun to kill each other.

Li Wei turned his head to a middle-aged military attache and asked, "Which force was the one who intercepted and killed the Heavenly Sword Sect, have you found out? It can't be your people pretending, right?"

The middle-aged man said with a slight disdain: "Of course it's not our people, a mere deputy door master is only a second-rate top, and it is not enough to let our people do it themselves." Although the Wu family has some power in Tianxia Pass, he Wu Zhijun still can't represent the Wu family. ”

Then he turned to some seriousness and said: "As for the origin of those "bandits", we already have some eyebrows, only the final verification is needed, and the exact news will probably be transmitted before dawn tomorrow. ”

Li Wei nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's wait and see what happens, as for your plan, I won't participate in it, and I will be notified of the results." ”

Then a few people said a few more innocuous words, and the middle-aged military general left with the young man, and Situ Yun looked out the window without saying anything from beginning to end.

Li Wei looked at Situ Yun's still cloudy face and said softly, "You still don't like them, is it because of that incident?"

Situ Yun was not prejudiced against the one-armed scholars, but when he talked about that incident, he still said helplessly: "How dare I have an opinion on them! Those martial arts people all say that we are imperial eagle dogs, but they don't know that these internal guards are jackals who eat people and don't spit out bones."

Besides, Fang Er was also at fault for that incident back then, no one else can be blamed, and if you want to blame, you can only blame my godson for not having a way. ”

Situ Yun said that he didn't blame the internal guards, but Li Wei heard that Situ Yun hated these imperial internal guards very much, but it was just because of his bad identity.

Li Wei is not sure to say anything about this, and the right and wrong of that incident back then cannot be argued in one or two sentences. Moreover, that incident finally alarmed His Majesty, and the conclusion was also approved by His Majesty, so it was even more difficult for Li Wei to say anything.

But Situ Yun died of a son after all, and it was not good to ask him to do more things that he didn't want to do.

Moreover, with Situ Yun's martial arts cultivation and status, few people can force him to do what he is not willing to do. If it weren't for the face of the one-armed scholar this time, Situ Yun would definitely not cooperate with the internal guards.

Since Situ Yun gave himself three points of thin noodles, the one-armed scholar was not persuading, and Situ Yun didn't want to mention those sad things, the two stared at Tianxia Pass in the dark night and were silent.

Just in the sky where the two of them were staring, a bright light suddenly appeared, and those who didn't know might think that it was a meteor passing by, but Li Wei, who saw the meteor, frowned, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
