(Yingxiu's classmate confirmed that she is safe... Thank you, thank you)
…
…
The voice in the thatched cottage was full of sarcasm and arrogance that was almost arrogant. He severely criticized Qingguo's superior brother and sister, and said, "Confinement? Idiots will believe that the two brothers and sisters are gods." A ghost who has been doing it for more than ten years, why did he suddenly turn his back on him? Turn it over, you have to find a reason... Are the reasons thrown out by the Qing Kingdom court now count as reasons?"
Yun Zhilan's knees were a little painful. He knew that the master was happy to himself at this time. He obviously forgot that he was still kneeling. He rubbed his knees and got up on his own. There was a wry smile on his face. Most of the time, people's life seems "ridiculous", but there is always a kind of convincing patience in the general direction, and there are some magical touches in some details-such as the little junior brother.
But at this moment, Master's words became obviously absurd again. Could it be that he thought that the big event that happened in the capital of Qing Kingdom was purely because the emperor and eldest princess had nothing to do after eating too much, and they didn't hesitate to damage the face of the royal family, acting for the world People watch
Yun Zhilan would not believe this anyway, so he said a few words to express his opinion.
The great master in the sword hut fell silent, as if he felt that there was something wrong with his judgment, but in his mind, the people of Qing, especially the royal family of Qing, were without a doubt the dirtiest, most shameless, and filthiest in the world. , the most obscene and black-bellied group of creatures, it is not easy for him to believe that there is really such a big crack in the royal family of Qing Dynasty.
He subconsciously wondered if Qingguo was planning to let him be blamed again.
This realization made him very angry and sad, so he couldn't listen to Yun Zhilan's words.
As the first disciple of Dongyi Sigujian, Yun Zhilan, apart from being invited by the eldest princess to go to the Qing Dynasty twice without success, the rest of the time represents the will of the master, and cooperates with the owner of Dongyi City to maintain this The tranquility of the city and the surrounding small countries is far more shrewd than the great master who is known as an idiot when it comes to government affairs. Ever since what happened in the capital of the Qing Kingdom, he has been keenly aware that there seems to be an opportunity to take advantage of and appear in front of Dongyi City.
If he could seize this opportunity, the biggest threat to Dongyi City could be eliminated, and he would no longer have to deal with the dignitaries of the Qing Kingdom like a big tree sitting on the fence.
In particular, the eldest princess did not die. This fact made Yun Zhilan firm in his judgment, and he repeated it to the master very sincerely.
The thatched cottage fell silent again, Si Gu Jian didn't speak any more, just kept silent, after a long time the voice said slowly: "I can't intervene right now, who knows if it's a trap?"
Yun Zhilan expressed his understanding, but smiled wryly in his heart.
He didn't understand that the great swordsman in the hut, that idiot master, was not only scared by Qing's black belly, but more importantly, if Dongyi City wanted to take advantage of Qing's internal strife , needs an excellent opportunity, and as Qing Kingdom is the most powerful country in the world, this kind of opportunity cannot be created by people from the outside, but can only wait for invitations from people inside Qing Kingdom.
Whether it is Sigu Sword or Kuhe, they are two towering trees outside the Qing Kingdom. These two trees cannot easily express their attitudes, and they cannot easily dance with the wind in the mountains, because once they go in one direction, Thinking back, it's not easy.
"Go on and see what kind of tricks the Qing people are playing."
The voice in the thatched cottage sounded again, and he gave instructions to Yun Zhilan, but he didn't tell his disciples that some people in Qing Kingdom had been able to pass some important information to him through certain channels all along, and He is now weighing the information.
"Yes, Master." Yun Zhilan was about to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss, when he suddenly thought of Yichun, he turned around and frowned and said, "Princess Qing has lost power, Fan Xian should be safe there, in order to prevent anyone from discovering the identity of the junior brother, we must Don't call him back?"
The closed disciple of the Sigu Sword in Dongyi City, the Shisanlang Wang holding the green flag, has always been a very mysterious figure. In the past two years, many people, including Yun Zhilan, only know that Master loves this young man very much. However, he never had the opportunity to enter the hut to see what this little junior looks like. It was during the Jiangnan Ming family's business promotion dispute that Yun Zhilan knew for the first time that the master had sent the junior to Fan Xian's side.
Yun Zhilan was a little puzzled, more of a faint discomfort. After all, within the Qing court, the young man surnamed Fan had always been the biggest enemy of Dongyi City. How many things happened in Yicheng, and how many people were killed in Dongyi City.
Even Yun Zhilan himself almost died under the assassination of the Overwatch Council. The master assassins of Dongyi City even fought a guerrilla with the six divisions of the Overwatch Council in the south of the Yangtze River for half a year. Although Yun Zhilan accepted the leisurely attitude, he felt a little conflicted in his heart.
"I know what you're thinking." The voice in the hut said sarcastically, "You still think it's wrong for me to help Fan Xian... In fact, you are wrong. It's not that Fan Xian needs our help, but that we need Fan Xian to accept our help." .”
"Li Yunrui's side is finished, at least the Neiku side is finished. We need Fan Xian, and in fact, the Ming family has been finished in the past few months, but it hasn't affected our Dongyi City. What does this mean? It means Fan Xian has accepted our help."
Yun Zhilan lowered his head slightly and said, "But in this way, at least 30% of our channels are under Fan Xian's control. This young dignitary in the Qing Dynasty has always turned his face like a book. If he gets serious once, it's not good. Handle."
"Why is he tempted?" Si Gu Jian's analysis in the thatched cottage followed the path of wisdom, without any confusion. Li Yunrui, now that Li Yunrui has been secluded, and there is no conflict of interest between Fan Xian and I, why would he take the risk of turning his face all over the place... tempted?"
Yun Zhilan was startled, and understood Master's words "between me and Fan Xian". Doesn't this mean that Master has at least superficially admitted that that young man Fan Xian has the right to sit on an equal footing with him?
"In the past we could trade with Li Yunrui, now we can trade with Fan Xian." The voice in the thatched hut rang again, "Because the people in the Qing Kingdom's government and opposition are not afraid of the Emperor Qing in their bones, these two... Remember, Qing Country does not belong to Fan Xian, he has no reason to lose his own interests for Qing Country's benefit."
Yun Zhilan thought about it for a while, but he still didn't think clearly, but if Fan Xian was present, he would definitely give the cottage a thumbs up and praise Brother Idiot for his high EQ...
"Before the incident happened, I asked your junior brother to join Fan Xian. This is the so-called attitude." The voice in the thatched cottage paused, "Attitude needs to be in place, so let your junior brother do things by himself..."
Yun Zhilan frowned slightly, thinking that the mysterious and pitiful little junior was just thrown out by his master to give Fan Xian hard work, just to show his attitude towards Dongyi City.
"Of course, I let him go to the Qing Dynasty, and there are naturally other reasons."
Yun Zhilan's spirit was lifted, he didn't know what secrets he would hear next, but the words that caught his ear made him startled, after thinking for a long time, he realized that this is indeed the case, there is nothing more important than this .
"Back then when the Northern Qi royal family rebelled, why was that woman in Northern Qi able to hold her son and sit firmly on the Dragon Throne, thereby gathering the mournful Northern Qi into what it is today?"
"Because Ku He is on her side."
"Why is Dongyi city and its kingdoms sandwiched between the two great powers of the world, swaying left and right, begging for perfection, losing tribute and paying silver, but they can always barely support it? Nanqing's monarchs and people are so ambitious, but they have never tried to use it Their powerful force swallowed Dongyi into their stomachs?"
Yun Zhilan didn't need to think at all, and said with a trace of reverence: "Because Dongyi City has you and the sword in your hand."
"That's right, although the title of Grand Master is meaningless, it's still good to scare people and use it as a murder weapon." The voice in the thatched cottage suddenly seemed a little lonely, "Have you ever thought about it... If Ku He dies, I die, What will the world be like?"
Yun Zhilan's back felt cold. As for this kind of scene, of course everyone in the world has thought about it, but no one has ever dared to announce it, because they know that with Qing's strong military power and the roots of Qing's son The blood of Tuo Bian in the hearts of the people, once the two great masters who do not belong to the Qing Kingdom pass away, the whole world will definitely fall into war again, not to mention the Northern Qi Dynasty, at least Dongyi City will be extremely difficult to keep. He said sincerely and firmly: "Master, you will not die."
"Joke! Is there anyone who is immortal in this world?"
The voice in the thatched cottage became more and more lonely: "Even if you don't die... But people will grow old after all, Ku He is so old, and I am not too young, do you think that an old man who has run out of fuel, When his trembling hands can't even hold a sword... Is he still a great master?"
…
…
"But... what does this have to do with Junior Brother's celebration?" After a moment of silence, Yun Zhilan expressed the question in his heart.
"There are no great masters in the world." The great master in the thatched cottage said coldly: "It's just that more than thirty years ago, we monsters came out. There was no such thing as before, but in the future... I don't know. Will there be, but at least at the moment, among the younger generation of masters in the entire world, the only ones who have the opportunity to approach this realm are just a few."
Yun Zhilan's heart moved slightly as he stared at the peacefully closed door of the thatched cottage.
The voice inside the door laughed: "Unfortunately, you are old, it is difficult to have this possibility. Many people crawled out of the sword pit in my Dongyi City, and even climbed out of the most ninth-rank masters in the world, but If you want to say who has the opportunity to become a new generation of monsters... perhaps only your little brother."
Yun Zhilan opened his mouth slightly. He once faced Wang Shisanlang face to face at the China Merchants Bank in Suzhou City. At that time, he was very shocked to know that this little junior had already been promoted to the ninth rank at such a young age, but he always felt that The junior brother's realm is far inferior to his own harmony, why is he...the most likely candidate to be promoted to the grand master according to the master
"This is a matter of xinxing." Si Gu Jian's voice finally became as confident and indifferent as a great master at this time, "If you want to be extreme in something, you must not care about it. You can't, the one under Ku He's family The swordsman called Langtao is not good either... In fact, all these years, Ku He must have been troubled by the problem I mentioned before. Once we grow old and die, what will happen to the land behind us, so we must grab Get this out of the way before we die."
"I chose your little junior brother, Ku He, and he chose Haitang."
"Coincidentally, they are all close disciples of each other."
"What's even more coincidental is that Ku He sent Haitang to Fan Xian's side..." Si Gu Jian said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Even if he didn't send it, at least he must be very happy that something happened between Haitang and Fan Xian. What, since he can give it away, of course I can too, but Haitang is a girl, so this is a big advantage."
Yun Zhilan was dumbfounded, completely unaware of the Great Master's seed cultivation plan, why Fan Xian was involved again, and why the two great masters, Ku He and Shizun, sent their closed disciples to Fan Xian's side one by one.
"Are there really only four old monsters in the world?" Si Gu Jian asked softly, "Yes, maybe there are only four old monsters. That monster never seems to grow old... You should know him, that blind man..."
Yun Zhilan's heart turned cold, knowing that Master was talking about a certain mysterious person who had secretly walked in Dongyi City many years ago.
"But you don't know that Fan Xian is that blind man's apprentice." The people in the thatched cottage laughed, "Isn't this a very interesting thing? The closed disciples of the old monster should all get together. Fighting and talking heart-to-heart will benefit the three of them a lot, this is the so-called tempering... Of course, Ku He must be thinking the same as me, and letting his disciples go to Fan Xian's side is also to gain some good luck."
"Luck?" Yun Zhilan stared at the closed door of the hut.
"What kind of conditions do you need to become an old monster? Smart, intelligent, hard-working... But the most important thing... is luck." Si Gujian sighed, "There are countless martial arts practitioners in the world, but in the end only a few people have achieved success. Is the law of heaven unfair, or what? It’s just that our luck is better than others.”
He finally said: "Thirty years ago, the facts have proved that if you want to become a great master and have such luck, you must meet a blind man... But no one can find where the blind man is. If so, then So I had no choice but to touch the blind man's closed disciple."
Yun Zhilan was confused by the godlike words, and after a while, he asked the question he cared about the most: "Little brother, Haitang, Fan Xian...Master, who do you think is the most likely...to succeed? "
Among the three top masters of the younger generation, apart from Wang Shisanlang who is still unknown, Haitang and Fan Xian are undoubtedly at the pinnacle of their age group. They have reached the ninth-rank realm, and each has excellent teacher conditions, and in different time periods, the world always thinks that they are Tianmai practitioners.
That's why when people were talking about who would be the next Great Grandmaster, they immediately thought of Fan Xian and Haitang Duoduo.
"Hai Tang." Si Gu Jian's judgment was so simple, "Because she is very good, she is very fast."
"The little brother?"
"It's also possible that the child's xinxing is so clear that he is not inferior to Haitang."
"Where's Fan Xian?"
After a moment of silence in the thatched cottage, he said, "Fan Xian is the most unlikely."
"Why?" Although he hated Fan Xian very much, Yun Zhilan subconsciously raised objections: "Although he is still hovering in the ninth rank at such a state, he is very unstable, not as good as Haitang Duoduo, but with his progress The speed is really inhuman. Especially in the heart and mind, according to the disciple's observation, it is very rare for young people in the world to be as resolute as him. As for the journey of diligence, although he was born into a wealthy family, he has practiced continuously since he was a child and endured a lot of hardships .”
"All the conditions are met, but Fan Xian is missing the most critical link." Sigu Jiangai concluded: "He has no heart, this young man has no heart at all in this world, since he has no heart, naturally he can't talk about xinxing. Entering the realm of the Dao of Heaven, unless he gives up everything in his hands... is he willing?"
Fan Xian is an ordinary person, so he is naturally reluctant.
"Although the blind man is a great person, he is very good at bringing luck to his opponents, but his own luck is not very good, and he... can't be a good teacher."
Si Gu Jian finally said: "I miss the blind man very much, but it's a pity that after he disappeared for more than ten years, he came out to find that big bald head of Ku He, um, it's a pity."
Yun Zhilan heard the sound of a sword shaking out of its sheath in the hut.
———————————
Among the great masters, Ye Liuyun is a handsome person who never accepts disciples, but Si Gu Jian accepts many disciples. If the registered ones are included, there are at least fifty or more, so the level of disciples varies from good to bad, although there are such disciples as Yun Zhilan. Ninth-rank master, a mysterious young man like Wang Shisanlang, but there are still many things that are not good enough. As for Bei Qi Guoshi Ku He, he doesn't have many disciples, but all of them are extremely masters, such as the martial arts teacher of the little emperor of Northern Qi, the generation of strong men on the ninth rank, Langtao, for example, the one who wears floral cloth clothes and is known by the world as The begonias of Tianmai Zhe are blossoming.
Of course the blind Uncle Wu Zhu also had apprentices, but his first disciple and his last disciple were the same person, Fan Xian.
What Si Gu Jian said is not bad. Great masters are also human beings, and they also have to consider the problems behind them, so these monsters put a lot of energy into their closed disciples. Of course, they just bet secretly, but they don't want this kind of The pressure interfered with the practice of the disciples.
Haitang, Fan Xian, and Wang Shisanlang, so far, have not appeared in the same place at the same time. If there is such a day, it must be a very interesting sight.
It's just that Si Gujian made a mistake, or rather, he didn't remember one thing subconsciously - Ku He, the national teacher of the Northern Qi Dynasty, went to the mountain to recruit disciples again last year. Taking advantage of the auspicious situation, he took in two female disciples, one into the palace Became an imperial concubine, but the other was tidying up the medicine garden in the mountains. In this sense, Haitang is no longer Tianyi's closed disciple, but Fan Ruoruo... is.
