Hearing the name of his godmother, Lu Bei's eyes narrowed suddenly and he shook his head subconsciously: "Who is Hu Er? He sounds very powerful. Is he the second son of the Hu family?"
"Nephew, your code name in the Xuanyin Division is Fox Four, and the other Purple Guard in Ningzhou is Fox Three. The two of you teamed up to raid the East Palace. Who is Fox Two? Do I need to tell you clearly?" Lin Buyan sneered.
Lu Bei was silent for a moment, then suddenly realized, "I remember now. There was such a person. I met her by chance on the street. She saw that I had outstanding aptitude for cultivation and had a promising future, so she forced me to be her adopted son."
Lu Bei was a little surprised when Lin Buyan got the information, but that was all. Wu Zhou had its own national conditions. Lin Buyan had a close relationship with Huangji Sect. With the help of his friends in Xuanyinsi, it was not difficult to find out his identity and backers.
Even if his Xuanyinsi files could not be retrieved, the code names of the two Purple Guards of Ningzhou, Fox Three and Fox Four, were extremely conspicuous. As long as the Elders' Council of the Huangji Sect were not blind, they would easily be able to associate them with Fox Two.
What really surprised Lu Bei was that Lin Buyan revealed the relationship between godmother and adopted son. According to common sense, with his outstanding looks, normal people would think that Hu Si was the gigolo that Hu Er kept outside.
"hehe."
Lin Buyan smiled with a fake smile: "Nephew, you are a smart man. Now that things have come to this, why do you have to pretend to be confused?"
"Life is full of confusion. Some people live too hard because they see too clearly. The real wisdom is to be wise but appear foolish." Lu Bei sighed, seemingly hinting at something, but in fact he was distracting.
This trick didn't work on Lin Buyan. When it came to the art of conversation, he had more experience than Lu Bei. He glanced at him coldly and said casually, "This master also heard that your nephew had found out about the Iron Sword League's Dragon Trap Formation and had made contributions to the country. He is truly a loyal minister to the country."
Shocked by these words, Lu Bei could no longer bear it. He clenched his fist in his sleeve and infused the sword with immortal sword intent. A trace of murderous intent locked onto Lin Buyan.
He looked at Lin Buyan with a smile and said, "Master, where did you hear this gossip? It's in broad daylight, don't slander a good person."
The Dragon Trap Formation is a serious matter. Once it is leaked, the world will be in chaos.
Whether the world will be in chaos, when it will be in chaos, and to what extent it will be in chaos are matters that the emperor and the Huangji Sect should consider. Lu Bei doesn't have the ability to worry about it. He just hopes that the source of the disaster is not himself.
The consequences were too great and the blame too heavy for his small body to bear.
To give a very basic example, if the matter of the Dragon Trap Formation were to be known by the Tianjian Sect, his future life would be extremely difficult just to imagine.
If you don't want to be hacked to death by random swords, you should immediately stand up and go to Changming Mansion to surrender, and bow down to your cousin obediently. At least before the Iron Sword League is destroyed, don't dream of the Spring and Autumn Period in the leek garden.
A chilling murderous intent lingered around his body, piercing his sword body and causing his breathing to stagnate. Lin Buyan's eyelids twitched wildly, and he took back his previous words. Lu Bei and Mo Buxiu were not completely without similarities. They turned against each other without hesitation and shouted for fighting and killing without any hesitation.
Learning from the experience of being beaten half to death, Lin Buyan said decisively: "My nephew, please don't be impulsive. Calm down quickly. This matter has not been passed on to others. No one knows except me."
"It's so funny, no one knows, how did you know?"
Lu Bei's eyes flashed with ferocity, and then switched to golden eagle eyes: "Tell me, where did you get this information from!"
"Your godmother told me."
"fart!"
Lu Bei spoke out decisively. He and Hu San had jointly obtained information about the Dragon Trap Formation, and vaguely mentioned that the Heavenly Sword Alliance intended to rebel. Hu San secretly returned to the capital.
Lu Bei had no idea what happened afterwards, because it involved the remnants of Qing Qian and concerned the stability of the Wu Zhou dynasty, so he guessed that not many people knew about it.
Emperor Wu Zhou Zhu Qiyou, Hu Er, and a few Huangji Sect elders...
The imperial tutor is also a possibility.
The rest, even if there are any, won’t be too many.
Yes, and it is very likely, but Xuan Wei and Yu Tao are not clear at the moment.
In short, the matter is of great importance and will not be leaked easily. In any case, it is not Lin Buyan's turn to know about it. He does not have the qualifications, nor does he have the intelligence network to obtain it.
As for what Lin Buyan said, that it was Hu Er who told him personally, that is even more impossible. It doesn't make sense logically for two people who have nothing to do with each other.
Reality is indeed bizarre and far from being as well-organized and logical as in novels, but even if it is outrageous, it still has to follow the basic rules of boasting. No one will believe in boasting that can be seen through at a glance.
Lu Bei didn't believe it, and his murderous intent increased.
"Nephew, calm down. If you have too much killing intent and activate the mausoleum protection formation, someone with ulterior motives will notice it."
Lin Buyan took a deep breath and glanced at Jianlai Peak where the disciples of Tianjian Sect were resting: "The elder of Tianjian Sect is staying at Beijun Mountain for a while. If you are too conspicuous, you will definitely attract his attention."
Lu Bei's killing intent faded after hearing this. He took a step forward and pressed the issue, "Tell me where you got the information, and then pass the position of the leader to me. I will guarantee that you will have no worries about your life. You will have healthy limbs for the rest of your life, and you can live on your own without having to be fed."
Lin Buyan: …
He knew that he should have brought Dashitian with him before coming.
"put!"
"Nephew, I have already told you the truth. It was indeed the second fox from the capital who told me. If you don't believe me, just contact her."
Lin Buyan twisted his stiff neck, took a step back to avoid the pressure of the sword, forced a smile, and said dryly: "I am Lin Buyan, the Silver Guard of Xuanyin Division, and I am honored to meet Lu Ziwei."
Lu Bei: (￣□￣」)」
"…" x2
"Nephew?"
"How dare you! Call me Lord Purple Guard!"
"…" x2
Lin Buyan, the Silver Guard of Xuanyin Division, has been in the job for over three hundred years and is a senior of Lu Bei.
Many years ago, the old man carrying a sword arrived in Yuezhou alone and founded the Lingxiao Sword Sect. This immediately attracted strong attention from the Huangji Sect and the Xuanyin Division.
At that time, the Huangji Sect was extremely powerful. It intervened forcefully and did not give the Iron Sword Alliance a chance to grow. It used all kinds of brutal means to restrict the development and expansion of the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
The Xuanyin Division has not welcomed the hot woman yet. It is weak in the Wu Zhou territory. It is neither a match for the Iron Sword Alliance nor a close rival to the Huangji Sect. It has limited means and is just a spectator who joins in the fun.
The measure that Xuanyinsi took against Lingxiao Sword Sect was to plant a secret agent in an ordinary way. This person was Lin Buyan. As an orphan, he had decent qualifications and met the criteria for being a second-generation disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect. He followed the order and came to Beijun Mountain to become a disciple.
At that time, Mei Wangsu, the eldest disciple of his generation, was delighted to have his last disciple Wen Bubei. He no longer accepted disciples, so the only choice he could choose was Mu Lichen.
In order to gain the position of the chief disciple, Lin Buyan deceived the people who came to become his disciples, spread false rumors to test their patience, and kept them there for three days.
As the only contestant, he passed three tests with great difficulty and met Mu Lichen with the excellent result of first place in the total score.
He was beaten half to death on the spot.
There are two reasons. First, he used tricks to win, which was improper and not a fair win. He seriously insulted the word Kendo and deserved to be beaten.
Second, Mu Lichen discovered Lin Buyan's identity as a secret agent of Xuanyinsi. He had bad intentions and his purpose of becoming his disciple was impure. He deserved to die.
This barrage of punches almost cost Lin Buyan his life.
But Mu Lichen, as an outstanding representative among the junior disciples, had a very long-term vision. He knew that even if Lin Buyan was killed today, other spies from the Xuanyin Division would come tomorrow. It is said that one can only thieve for a thousand days but not guard against thieves for a thousand days. Therefore, he accepted him as his chief disciple and kept him by his side to discipline him strictly.
Mu Lichen did not defeat any of the unlucky guys who became disciples of Lin Buyan at the same time. With their brains, good aptitude was useless. Even if they had made great progress in their cultivation, they would still be fooled by others.
Thus, Senior Brother Lin Buyan’s position became secure.
In the following decades, Mu Lichen successively accepted Sima Buzheng, Liang Busi, Zhong Bufan, Lu Buwang and others as his disciples, and finally chose the extraordinary Mo Buxiu as his last disciple.
Among all the disciples, junior brother Mo Buxiu had unique qualifications and was the most valued by Mu Lichen. He was once considered the most qualified successor.
The reason why it was once, and not always, was because Mo Buxiu was too obsessed with spiritual practice, and there was only the Tao in his eyes, nothing else.
On the contrary, the eldest senior brother Lin Buyan had a complicated mind. Not long after he went up the mountain, he demonstrated excellent leadership and political skills. He controlled his fellow brothers and sisters and made them obedient. Everyone was willing to obey his command.
To Xuanyinsi, Lin Buyan was definitely a surprise. No one had expected that this hidden chess piece who was not expected to succeed would advance step by step and climb to the top of the second-generation disciples, confronting each other head-on with another senior brother, Meng Buwei.
In terms of intelligence, the second generation disciples are second to none.
As for Lin Buyan, his master Mu Lichen was a very charismatic person, and he never kept anything to himself when teaching Lin Buyan. As an orphan, Lin Buyan had lived on the streets since he was young, suffered a lot, and was tortured by the Xuanyin Division for more than ten years. He could not bear such a kind fatherly love, and fell in a few years. He was willing to repay his master with his head.
Suffering from the identity of Xuanyinsi, he lives a very distressing life.
The good news is that when the Xuanyin Division saw his promotion, the files were encrypted level by level and finally destroyed directly. Only the Xuanwei in office at that time knew about it. After this Xuanwei died of a cold for unknown reasons, Lin Buyan's identity as the Silver Guard of the Xuanyin Division was permanently dormant. No one knew about it, so there was no possibility of waking up.
Later, there was a civil war in Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the whitewashed Lin Buyan devoted himself to assisting his master Mu Lichen, and was regarded as his right-hand man.
After the civil war in Lingxiao Sword Sect ended, Mu Lichen returned to Tianjian Sect and stayed in a small dark room. Before leaving, he handed the sect leader's token to Lin Buyan, and vaguely mentioned that if there was a major chaos in the world, the priority should be to preserve Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Just like that, Lin Buyan, the Silver Guard of Xuanyin Division, became the head of Lingxiao Sword Sect. His past identities became a thing of the past, and if he didn't say it, no one would ever know.
Logically speaking, this is indeed the case. Lin Buyan is at peace with the governance of Lingxiao Sword Sect. The Xuanyin Division is a thing of the past and he will no longer have anything to do with it.
It was not until the last emperor of Wu Zhou, Zhu Bangchun, brought the two women back to the capital that the two women officially took over the Xuanyin Division, ruled the world, and shook the Huangji Sect.
Lin Buyan didn't know how he was exposed. Anyway, Hu Er came to his door and took out a file that made Lin Buyan's face turn green.
At that time, he had already taken the position of the backup, holding the great power to obtain the position of the head of the sect, and married the junior sister he had admired for a long time. He had been suppressing his junior brother and was eager for success. Something went wrong in his practice and he became obsessed, and he had to stay in seclusion for a long time.
Life has reached its peak!
Therefore, Lin Buyan refused to return to Xuanyinsi. He was the head of Lingxiao Sword Sect and was only responsible to Lingxiao Sword Sect. He would not submit to any force.
Then he was beaten by Fox Two.
