After being scolded, Xu Yi didn't get angry and left without saying a word.
He came to the front of Guanglonghang across the street. The door was closed tightly, and his senses came out. There was a dead silence inside, and there was no one there.
Xu Yi suddenly felt bad.
...
Cao Mengfu just knocked the doorknob with his hand, his shoulders sank, and a cold dagger slid from his cuff into his palm. He turned around calmly, before he could clearly see who was coming, the polite and humble look on his face all day long With a smile, it has naturally climbed up the wrinkled old face.
When he saw who was coming, his unstretched smile froze suddenly, like a sudden extreme cold freezing a jumping cicada.
"Sir, why don't you... All the guests are blessed."
A very handsome young woman in a wooden hairpin sarong opened the door, slightly surprised, but still gave a blessing to the young man in green shirt behind Cao Mengfu.
"Old Cao, is it convenient for me to come in and have a seat?"
The young man in green shirt said with a smile.
"Convenient and convenient, please please!"
Cao Mengfu was a little tongue-tied.
When you enter the door, you will find a small yard about ten feet long. There are chickens and ducks pecking at the newly scattered leftovers in the yard. There is a tall old elm tree next to the left-hand door. A stone table with one corner missing, with four chairs on the side, behind the yard is the main room, and there seems to be a backyard behind the main room, with the sound of children playing.
"Bring me some tea!"
Cao Mengfu said anxiously.
"No need, let's just talk and let Mrs. Zun take care of herself."
The man in the green shirt gave orders, Cao Mengfu responded repeatedly, and hurriedly drove the cargo woman in.
As soon as the door of the main room was closed, Cao Mengfu prostrated and fell to the ground, saying in a trembling voice, "The incompetent old man pays homage to the hall master."
Needless to say, the man in the green shirt was exactly Xu Yi.
When Xu Yi visited Guanglong Xing and encountered a Buddhist door, he immediately knew that something was wrong and the situation was unclear, so it was inconvenient for him to use force blindly, so he hid not far from Guanglong Hall and waited for the opportunity. The main thing was to find someone, to find acquaintances to understand the situation.
When he entered the city, he had seen the calendars hung in the shops on the street, and he knew that it was only a year before he bid farewell to his wild ancestor, Yan Zi.
In such a short period of time, even if there are changes in Guanglongtang, it will not be completely wiped out, and there will always be dust leaking through the gaps.
Sure enough, when he penetrated into the gate of Guanglong Hall, he found some familiar auras. Among them was Cao Mengfu, who could remind him of his surname. The Guanglong Hall of Guanglong Hall has been regarded as a high position.
Xu Yi waited quietly at the side, and finally waited until Cao Mengfu left the Guanglong Hall, and stopped him at the door of his house.
Xu Yi helped Cao Mengfu up, and said gently, "You don't need to panic, just tell me what happened. Such a drastic change, you can't resist it, even if you surrender, I don't blame you."
Cao Mengfu took a deep breath, bowed down to Xu Yi, and burst into tears.
The moment Xu Yi approached him, he almost didn't collapse on the spot.
Others don't know what kind of personality and reputation this old hall master has, how can he not know, he is serious and vicious, killing people like hemp, and the whole Qingxing city is also famous.
Cao Mengfu was so excited that he thanked him again and again, he refused to stand up desperately, and told Xu Yi all over again why he didn't invite him.
"If you want to blame it, you can blame the former ruler Zhao Tangyuan, who has been beaten to ashes, for having a pair of blind people who couldn't distinguish loyalty from traitors. He was foolishly taken away from the Jade Seal of Zhengguo and lost the foundation of the country. , it is really a pity to die..."
At the beginning, Cao Mengfu was a little cautious and timid, but later, the more he spoke, the more indignant he became, his face was flushed, his saliva sprayed, sporadic splashes on Xu Yi's clothes, and he didn't realize it.
Xu Yi didn't expect such a big change in Wufeng's country in just one year.
The matter is complicated, but it is actually a pot of dog blood.
The specific government structure of Wufeng Kingdom is secularized, but those who really hold the divine power are practitioners. The ruler of Wufeng Kingdom has been on the throne for more than 50 years. summit.
According to Cao Mengfu's words, the kings of all dynasties are the heads of sects, and only when the sects are extremely powerful can they aspire to the top of the world.
And the so-called aspiration to the top of the world is nothing more than getting the Jade Seal of the Zhengguo and the approval of the Immortal Palace, so that one can become the lord of a country and control the great affairs of a country.
The current king, Zhao Tangyuan, lost his country. According to what Cao Mengfu said, it would be a bit of a joke. The one who took the Zhengguo Yuxie was none other than Zhao Tangyuan's brother-in-law, Long Yuanshou, the suzerain of the dynasty.
Xu Yi, who is the head of Chaozong, has heard of it, and it is a well-known sect in Wufeng. According to Cao Mengfu, the growth of Chaozong is fundamentally caused by Zhao Tangyuan.
"With the Jade Seal of Zhengguo, one can become the lord of a country and let many princes and ministers subdue him. What's the reason for that?"
Xu Yi still couldn't believe it. A piece of jade seal is just a dead thing, how can it have great power.
Cao Mengfu said, "It's all because the Zhengguo Jade Seal was issued by the Immortal Palace. In each country, the Immortal Palace has set up too many prohibitions, and the National Seal can also be used to borrow soldiers and horses from the Immortal Palace."
"Historically, 90% of the changes in the position of the king were abdication. This is the first time in hundreds of years that the king has been robbed of the jade seal like this."
Xu Yi said, "Since he has obtained the Imperial Seal, Long Yuanshou will automatically become the ruler of the country. Why do you want to go to war? For example, Qingxing City has been disturbed so much."
Cao Mengfu said, "According to the system, a three-month vacancy period is required for the transfer of the national seal. During this period, anyone who grabs the national seal can be established as the lord of the country. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the national seal to be transferred. The transfer of the imperial seal for the second time is rarely recorded in history. Of course, the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. Long Yuanshou has the national seal and is about to command the world. Naturally, accidents are not allowed to happen, so the country is under martial law. And some big forces are willing Buy it from the new lord, not to mention that this kind of violent turmoil is a good opportunity to reshuffle the cards, and it is not surprising that there are endless attacks and killings in various places, and new blood replaces old blood."
Xu Yidao, "Whoever occupies Guanglong Hall now has the final say in the city."
Cao Mengfu said, "Now the forces in the city are divided into three schools, Ru Yitang, Donghe League, and Ancient Sword School, but they are all under the command of Master Tong sent by the royal court."
Xu Yi nodded, "The last question, where is Huang Zu? Where is Yan Zi?"
Cao Mengfu, who was kneeling on the ground but had raised his body, suddenly shrank into a ball, and lay dead on the ground, like a wandering soul that had been struck by thunder.
A cold light flashed in Xu Yi's eyes, he waved his hand, and lifted Cao Mengfu up with a gentle force, "Just say it, since I said I don't blame you, I keep my word, but the premise is that I must hear the truth."
Cao Mengfu kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice, "That day when Ru Yitang attacked our Guanglong Hall, Mr. Lu saw that he could not defend, and was going to retreat, but Miss Yan Zi came back from a trip at this time, and Mr. Lu fought fiercely to protect Miss Yan Zi. , was seriously injured, and refused to retreat in a deadly battle. The enemy persuaded him to surrender several times, saying that as long as Mr. Lu handed over Guanglongtang's inventory, he would be let go."
