A conflict before the meeting of the twelve elders seemed to make everyone's nerves tense again.
Everyone didn't know what Lin Nanxuan's original intention was to convene this meeting.
The heads of the top ten sects were all present, and the air in the entire Luodu City was filled with the smell of a mountain rain that was about to come.
It's warm and autumnal.
This other courtyard of Lingyun Palace, against the background of the sky, is strangely beautiful.
The scent of jasmine in the wind fills the air, making people feel refreshed.
Ye Qingxuan stepped onto a beautifully decorated wooden bridge, the path under his feet was covered with yellow fallen leaves, as soft as a thick carpet.
Bypassing the main building and stepping onto the corridor leading to the back garden, the lake center pool is now in front, under an octagonal pavilion with brackets, Lin Nanxuan and one person sit in the pavilion, like gods and men.
The vast white stone platform surrounded by ** is shining in the sun, the surrounding lake is shimmering, the buildings on both sides of the lake are carved beams and painted pillars, the ginkgo leaves are stacked with jade and gold, and the stone tables in the pavilion are lit. Agarwood, with a strong fragrance, Lin Nanxuan and an old man in a well-dressed game quietly played in this beautiful autumn scenery.
The old man in Chinese clothes was wearing a dark purple python robe, a nine-bead crown on his head, and a jade belt around his body. His face was carved like white jade. Feeling daunting and unattainable.
In just an instant, Ye Qingxuan had already guessed the other party's identity.
Donghai Tingchao Pavilion.
Zi Yihou, Guihai Yizhen.
Affected by the bearing of the two master-level masters, Ye Qingxuan's spiritual consciousness "thumped" into an extremely high state, reaching the state of unity of mind and spirit, with no desires or desires in his heart, neither sadness nor joy, and blended with nature At the same time, the meeting that was coming tomorrow and related to the world was also thrown out of his consciousness, occupying less than half a seat in his heart.
His steps are steady and powerful, each step is of the same size and weight, naturally giving birth to an unusual rhythm and rhythm, accompanying him across the lake bridge and reaching the front of the two great martial arts masters in the lake pavilion.
when.
A coin fell, and the two stopped their hands at the same time, laughing and remaining silent.
This is…
Draw.
There are a lot of black and white stones, and the two sides fight each other on the scene, but in the end, each side occupies one side, and it becomes a confrontational situation. It is only the number, and I am afraid it is also a draw.
Lin Nanxuan silently put the white pieces in his hand into the chess box, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a draw again, isn't this the fifth game today?"
"Five draws are rare." Zi Yihou stroked his beard and said calmly, "But even if you win five games, I will never agree to that matter."
Ye Qingxuan knew that the two of them must have discussed something important before he came, but it turned out that they didn't reach an agreement.
Lin Nanxuan smiled, and sighed: "My move is also for the consideration of the Central Plains martial arts."
"But you didn't think about my Donghai..." Zi Yihou's voice tightened, obviously a little annoyed, "Lin Nanxuan, your idea is quite beautiful, disbanding the Twelve Elders' Council? Have you considered Donghai's position of listening to Chaoge?"
What
Disband the Council of the Twelve
Ye Qingxuan shook his body and looked at Lin Nanxuan in a daze.
Lin Nanxuan smiled wryly and said: "The Twelve Elders' Association is a miracle that the ancestors of Bi Shimen have worked so hard to unite all the major factions into one place. If it is said to be disbanded, it will be even more painful for me. But today's Jianghu Form, if the Council of Twelve Elders is not disbanded, the situation will only worsen... "
snort!
"Zi Yihou" Gui Hai Yizhen stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "If the Twelve Elders' Association really wants to disband, don't blame me, Gui Hai Yizhen, for doing something unsightly."
As soon as the words fell, Zi Yihou had already floated out of the Huxin Pavilion and walked straight out without looking at Ye Qingxuan from the beginning to the end.
As soon as Guihai really left, Ye Qingxuan asked urgently: "Master Lin, this time the Twelve Elders' Association, are you going to disband it?"
Lin Nanxuan packed the black and white pieces into separate boxes, nodded at the same time, and sighed: "The Twelve Elders' Association has lost its function. The purpose of this association was to coordinate disputes among various sects and prevent martial arts fights. But now The factions in the Jianghu have already split, and Fengyi Pavilion is acting as a hindrance, if the Twelve Elders are allowed to exist, once they are finally controlled by Zhuo Huifan, the Twelve Elders will only become the murderous weapon and tool of this temptress."
Lin Nanxuan got up slowly, stood by the pavilion, and looked at the one-foot lake, "The disintegration of the Twelve Elders' Association not only greatly weakened Zhuo Huifan's power, but also allowed the Great Zen Temple and the Dragon and Tiger Taoist Gate to reverence the Twelve Elders. Liberating the Dazong and Dazong sects of the society, they will not be coerced by Zhuo Huifan, and they can choose to assist the forces more calmly, even if they stay out of the matter, it is better than helping the evildoers."
Ye Qingxuan nodded in understanding immediately.
Regarding the Twelve Elders' Association, Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Shuihan had similar discussions back then, and they both felt that the existence of this organization was a great help to Zhuo Huifan, and a great obstacle to Nanchao.
It's okay to disband, but...
Ye Qingxuan glanced at the direction Zi Yihou left, and asked worriedly: "It seems... Zi Yihou is very dissatisfied with this..."
"This is also a helpless thing!" Lin Nanxuan replied: "Back then, the Donghai Kingdom was invaded by Yingzhou. After the Council of Elders, they received the support of the Central Plains court and the entire Wulin, so they were able to survive the confrontation with the Yingzhou shogunate. Once the Council of Twelve Elders was disbanded and the Central Plains court was divided by civil war, the direction of the East China Sea could only be determined by Fight against the entire Yingzhou with one's own strength, judging from the strength of the Yingzhou shogunate, I am afraid that Donghai Tingchao Pavilion will not be able to stand alone, and there will be a danger of overturning and falling."
Ye Qingxuan was taken aback, and said: "Isn't this a knot? The dissolution of the Twelve Elders' Association is tantamount to a dead end for Tingchao Pavilion in the East China Sea. No wonder Zi Yihou loses his temper... I wonder if Master Lin has any countermeasures?"
Lin Nanxuan sighed, and said: "My proposal is very simple, that is, the Southern Dynasty will continue to support Donghai Tingchao Pavilion... Unfortunately, the Southern Dynasty has not even conquered Yangzhou. To be able to hold on until that day…”
Ye Qingxuan was speechless. Today's Yangzhou is the sphere of influence of the White Lotus Sect. Although there are Dajimen and Longhai Society to join forces to resist, even with the support of the Southern Dynasty, they are still passively beaten.
Now it is hard to be convincing to promise Zi Yihou the support of the Southern Dynasty, that is, to talk about it.
unless…
Ye Qingxuan's eyes lit up—
Unless the power of the Yingzhou shogunate can be fatally hit in the Central Plains, so that it does not have enough strength to conquer the East China Sea in one fell swoop, then, let alone persisting in the support of the Southern Dynasty, even the independent strength of Donghai Tingchao Pavilion will be enough to fight against the Yingzhou shogunate One or two.
