Clouds and Waters

In the garden of Grand Master's Mansion, Yun Chenxiao and Shui Zhihuan were chatting enthusiastically, but it was a different scene in Muyun Hall.It was midsummer, and it was unbearably hot outside. Four large ice cubes were placed in the Muyun Hall, making the room cool and cool.This house is not a main hall, nor does it face south, but it is half a story higher.Outdoors, the bamboo shadows are small, and the phoenix trees are towering, which complement each other, blocking the sunshine of the four seasons, but not damp, it is a holy place for summer vacation.

Muyun Hall is not very big, and there is a sword hanging in front of the main hall.The sword glows with a strange light all the year round, like the eyes of the nether world, trying to swallow everything in this world.In addition, there is no sunlight in this room all year round, which makes it even more gloomy and cold.

Lu Bo'an, the master of the Five Elements Gate and the Tumen Gate, doesn't like this ghostly place the most. Every time he comes, he yells to go back first, but this time, he rarely sits on the chair honestly, looking at his nose and mouth. , as if settled down.The rest of Murong Guang, Jin Lian, Huo Hengyang, Liu Rumei, and Ning Yufan kept looking at each other, and they didn't know what to exchange. The atmosphere was really awkward.

"Now, this is the situation. You guys, what do you think, but it's okay to say." Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Shui Xinyou could only smooth things over for himself.

"So... Your Majesty, do you still insist on cutting the feudal clan according to what you said in the "Shangjinghuai Zoushu"?" Murong Guang saw that no one spoke, so he spoke first.He is the most authoritative person in the Five Elements Gate except Shui Xinyou, and it is appropriate to speak at this time.

"That's right! I said earlier that if the troubles of the vassal kings are not eliminated, the imperial court is difficult to clean up. And now..." Shui Xinyou glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "Now that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is in our hands, it is right to order the world to be just and right This is the best time to cut down the clan. When I met the emperor this morning, the emperor also made up his mind to cut down the clan. And this time, we will start with Prince Ning Jiangnan! Brother Huo!"

"Huo is here!"

Shui Xinyou nodded and said: "Nowadays, you and I have half of the military power and tiger talisman. I will ask Yufan to give you my half later. The imperial guards, guards, and government soldiers in the capital are all dispatched by you. As for the local soldiers... the emperor intends to restore them." The military power of Yun Zhengting, the commander-in-chief of Jingzhou, was granted the position of general of the world's soldiers and horses, commanding local recruits and raising troops to fight against rebellion. Of course, this move is a last resort. If King Ning and King Ding can obediently hand over taxes and military power, We can't do anything to make this war invisible."

"Since ancient times, soldiers have been planning to attack and attack the city. It would be the best if we can do nothing." Murong Guang smiled with his beard: "I don't know, You'er, you have any offensive strategy to resolve this war. ?”

Shui Xinyou knew that Murong Guang was inextricably linked with King Ning, so she naturally refused to reveal any information, and said with a smile: "My niece is dull, so I have no plans for now. At worst... At worst, I will die."

That Murong Guang is the most cunning, and he is like a fish in water between Shui Xinyou and Ning Wang. Naturally, he does not want to draw fire at this time. After thinking for a while, he has a plan, and hurriedly said: "If you want to attack by force, the imperial court must be invincible. It's just that wars will inevitably hurt innocent people. My Dayan has only begun to show signs of rejuvenation under the jurisdiction of your Shui Shoufu. Although this war will not shake the foundation of the country, it is always a waste of people and money. In my opinion, today You'er, you have obtained the most precious treasure, it is the destiny. Why don't you take advantage of the trend, take advantage of the wind, send a mediator to reconcile the forces of the three parties, call King Ning, and position him to hand over taxation and military power, without moving a single soldier To restore peace to the world? It’s just that this person needs to have friendship with the court and the kings, be able to deal with the three parties, and also need the talent of Kong Ming, who can talk to the Confucians, state the pros and cons, and the courage of Yun Chang, who can go to the meeting alone and calmly In and out of the tiger's den. Only in this way can the four directions be safe."

Shui Xinyou knew that Murong Guang said this in order to avoid a fight with King Ning, but this statement was not unreasonable, and she, Shui Xinyou, was not a belligerent person either.It's just that after Murong Guang said this, she roughly guessed that the old fox wanted to push that person to the forefront, but he didn't say it clearly, he was really cunning and cunning.Shui Xin said leisurely: "If someone can break through the [-] soldiers of the feudal lord with his own power, it would be the best. It's just that in the whole world, I don't know where there is such a supernatural person."

Murong Guang saw that this matter was interesting, and couldn't help beaming with joy and said: "This person... this person is far away in the sky and right in front of us, he is our old acquaintance. It's just... just I don't know this difficult and dangerous task, You Er, you , I can't bear to part with..."

Shui Xinyou pondered for a while, hesitant in his heart.Murong Guang's plan is to benefit himself and others, if that person can really accomplish this, it is naturally the best.It's just that, firstly, this trip is extremely dangerous. Both King Ning and King Ding are the masters of one side, and their strength should not be underestimated. If there is something wrong with that person, it is the last thing she wants to see; You originally intended to weaken Yun Zhengting's military power by cutting down the vassal, and let them fight each other, and she reaped the benefits of the fisherman.But if Murong Guang's plan is followed, the siege of Yunzheng Pavilion will be solved.Grand Master Shui, who has always been decisive, resolute and resolute, sighed lightly, and lost his sense of control for a while.Muyun Hall was surprisingly quiet, only the noisy cicadas outside were singing non-stop.

"Brother! Don't be foolish, tell me who this person is?" Lu Bo'an was originally an illiterate person, and he didn't pay much attention to the matter of cutting down feudal clans. He just heard that there are such geniuses in the world, so he couldn't help being curious. Heart.

Murong Guang found a successor for this hot potato, he couldn't help saying hello to his clever plan in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, junior brother, I'll talk to you slowly. First, this person wants to talk to King Ning." She has a good relationship with King Ding. She...hehe, she was once appreciated by His Highness King Ning with her extraordinary talent, and brought her to Pinheng Academy to cultivate her carefully. This person is also highly appreciated. Second, this person must be loyal to the court and the present, and swear allegiance to the death. Well, although she has little contact with the Holy One, but..." He deliberately paused and glanced at Shui Xinyou, who closed his eyes and meditated, said with a smile: "Hey, she has a deep friendship with Mr. Shui, which is extraordinary. I believe that as long as Mr. Shoufu says a word, this person will be like a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and he will die forever." No hesitation, so you and I don't need to worry about this. In the end, this person must be brave, resourceful, wise and courageous, so that he can fulfill his mission and retreat unscathed. Well, based on what I know about her, this person is more than intelligent and has extraordinary martial arts. In recent years, I am afraid that I have to be guided by an expert again, and I am afraid that my skill has already surpassed all of you."

Lu Bo'an heard Murong Guang speak clearly and logically, nodded repeatedly and said: "Senior brother is right! I see you said that this person is even stronger than Xiao You'er, but who is this person, why didn't I guess it!"

Murong Guang laughed, and said: "I'm afraid that in Muyun Hall, only junior brother doesn't know who this person is!"

Nalu Bo'an couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said angrily: "Xiao You'er, come and comment on your uncle, you say he..."

"Master Murong!" Shui Xinyou suddenly interrupted Lu Bo'an's words, and said sharply: "Master's plan is very dangerous, I still need to think about it a little longer, and I don't make a decision at the moment. The point is, I still need to see her." In my opinion, if..."

"Xiao You'er!" The door of Muyun Hall opened slowly, and the scorching sun shone through the leaves, sprinkled mottled ground, and plunged into the Muyun Hall, which had not been seen for a long time, completely covering up the mysterious light of Nether Sword.

A gust of hot air rushed in, and several pairs of eyes in the Muyun Hall looked at the person who came.I saw her moon-white gown, black short boots, her face was full of spring breeze, her starry eyes were shining brightly, and her head was tied up with a hairpin simply with black hair, which looked messy yet elegant.It's this cloth dress hairpin, which is extremely simple to wear, but has a sense of high spirits.

The man walked slowly towards Shui Xinyou, approached, stood side by side with Shui Xinyou, held Shui Xinyousu's hand, and said in the most flat but firmest voice: "If the person Mr. Murong just said is me ...then I..."

"Yun Chenxiao!" Shui Xinyou interrupted Yun Chenxiao suddenly, and said sharply: "The peace talks will be discussed at another time! I... how can I ask you to take risks for me! I would rather put on my own armor and lead the army, go Put an end to this vassal rebellion!"

Looking into Shui Xinyou's eyes, Yun Chenxiao said with a smile: "Heaven will send a great responsibility to the people. Besides, I am not here entirely for you, Xiao You'er! You are now the chief assistant of the cabinet, and your Is it not a matter of the imperial court, is it not a matter of the people of the world?"

"You're talking nonsense! You... have you ever cared about this river and lake, or this world? What you care about is just..." Shui Xinyou became famous as a young man and held a high position. , couldn't help holding their breath one by one, drooping their heads, for fear that if they made a small mistake, they would be ruined.Murong Guang couldn't wait to turn around and run away. His idea pushed Yun Chenxiao into the fire pit. I'm afraid that Shui Xinyou now has the heart to tear him apart.

Only Yun Chen was calm and breezy, and his smiling eyes were never far from Shui Xinyou, and he replied: "Yeah, I never cared about these things, I cared, but you are the only one. But if you have all the people in the world in your heart, How can I, Yun Chenxiao, stand by and watch? If you want to be the person behind the world, I will be the person behind you. The world has you, Master Shui, and you have me!"

Shui Xinyou couldn't bear it any longer, she already burst into tears.Everyone dared to say more than half a sentence, and retreated one after another.In Muyun Hall, there are only two Yunshui left.Yun Chenxiao breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Shui Xinyou into his arms, and said softly: "Little Youer, you are so decisive, why have you ever hesitated? Unless, you don't believe that I, Yun Chenxiao, have such ability. Hmph, At any rate, I have also studied art with Master Shui for a long time, it is time to go out and experience it! Just rest assured, Xiao Youer, and wait for me to return in triumph!"

Shui Xinyou punched down, and said coquettishly: "When is the stinky puppy, you are still in the mood to joke here! You don't know that King Ning Dingwang, who is easy to get along with? If they start to be cruel, you Is it their opponent?"

Yun Chenxiao wiped away the tears for Shui Xinyou, and said with a smile: "Don't you have such a strong backing as Master Shui? With you in charge, they dare to touch me? They can't kill them!"

Shui Xinyou chuckled lightly and said, "The stinky puppy will never change his nature, and his tongue is slick!"

Seeing that Shui Xinyou had finally put down her guard, Yun Chenxiao continued: "Our little You'er still looks the best when she smiles. So, I'd better talk and laugh more in the future."

After a long while, Yun Chenxiao said: "Little You'er, let's get down to business! The matter of cutting down the feudal clan is up to me. Although Murong Guang has selfish intentions, this matter does not harm us, and it can eliminate a war. Why not do it? So, Xiao You'er, don't hesitate, just ask me to try it. If you succeed, I will help you. Even if you fail, with my ability, you still don't believe that I can get out completely? "

Shui Xinyou thought for a moment, but didn't make a sound.Yun Chenxiao knew that she had convinced her most of the way, so she hurriedly continued: "If you are worried, you can ask Ah Huan and Xiao Fan to go with me. Although Ah Huan is innocent, everyone in the world knows that she belongs to Master Shui. Junior sister, if you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face, the lords should not make things difficult for her. As for Xiaofan...she is resourceful and well-planned, she is simply a copy of you, with her around, I am more or less sure."

"Oh, Miss Yun is far-sighted! What about the two of them?" Shui Xinyou asked.

"Uh... except for the two of them... let me think about it, how about I bring the big guy with me? Although he is brave, he is good at kung fu! That raging flame flying fire palm is unparalleled in the world! Uh, and Miss Liu, She follows Boss Jin in the business field, and has a lot of contacts, maybe it will come in handy?"

"Well, Miss Yun's words are justified. Yes, there is also your sister Wan'er, she is so soft and weak, with deep roots in love, and her heart is all on someone, so don't leave it alone! And the girl beside you , called... what is it called, take it with you, how can we do it without anyone waiting for us Miss Yun along the way! Oh, yes, and..."

It was only then that Yun Chenxiao heard the irony in Shui Xinyou's words, regretted breaking his promise, and hurriedly said: "Hey, no need! You don't even need to bring them! I'll just go alone!"

"Smelly puppy, you are wise! This grand master told you that there is only one person going with you on this trip, other than that, don't think about him!"

"One person? Could it be..." Yun Chenxiao stretched out his hand, pointing tremblingly at Shui Xinyou.

"What!" Shui Xinyou opened Yun Chenxiao's hand, and said angrily, "I'm not qualified? I'm not as gentle and virtuous as your sister Wan'er, not as good-looking as A Huan, not as resourceful as Xiaofan, or not as good at martial arts as big man Huo Superior?"

That Yun Chenxiao was as stupid as she was, and thought to herself how much vinegar this little Youer had eaten today, and how much sex he ate!Busy and softly apologized with a smile: "Of course they are ten times and a hundred times stronger than them! With you here, I am completely sure! However, you are now in a high position, and the Holy One relies on you as an assistant for everything. Once you leave... ..."

"Don't worry about this, I will naturally take care of it. You just say, I will accompany you on this errand, are you happy, or..."

Yun Chenxiao was so happy from ear to ear: "Of course I'm happy, happy! With you by my side, I'm like a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and I'm willing to be happy!"

Shui Xin gave her a white look, and said, "Smelly puppy, I'll give you three days to prepare! We'll leave in three days!"

Yun Chenxiao laughed, bowed his hands, bowed to Shui Xinyou, and said, "Everything is at the command of Master Shui! I, Yun Chenxiao, follow Master Shui's lead, and I will never hesitate to die!"

**********************************************

The moonlight is like water.Chang'an City has already passed the curfew time, but there is a person dressed in black, running around in Chang'an City, within a short time, he has arrived outside the Zhengyang Gate of the Imperial Palace.The guards guarding the door were blinded, and were about to stop the man, but saw the man in black pull out his token from his waist.The guards saw the token clearly and did not dare to delay for a moment, they all gave way to the passage and let the man in black enter the city.

"So, Shui Aiqing, is she determined to go with that Yun Chenxiao?" On the dragon chair, Emperor Xuanzong Xue Jing was leaning on it, sitting awkwardly, but there was a royal majesty of his own, which was amazing. Don't dare to stare.

"That's right! Master Shui has already arranged everything, and it is estimated that he will report this matter to the Holy One in the early morning." The man in black said.

"So..." The emperor pondered for a moment, as if he said to himself: "That's fine. I heard that Yun Chenxiao has a clever mind and excellent martial arts, which is not inferior to Shui Aiqing. Now that the two of them can be used by the court at the same time, is it true?" Fortunately for me, it is even more fortunate for the people of the world. If the two of you can work together to bring about the reduction of feudal clans, I will give you a big reward."

"What the emperor said is very true! It's just...the minister has something to do...the minister..."

"Xu Ping! As the commander of the forbidden army in the palace, why are you so hesitant? But it's okay to say!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The man in black named Xu Ping caught his attention, thought for a moment and said: "The Emperor asked me to contact Master Shui in private. Although I am dull, I can guess one or two. Master Shui is dedicated to the country. It is indeed the pillar of the country, and I admire it in my heart. It's just...but, now that the imperial seal is in Lord Shui's hands, she, she didn't entrust this treasure to the emperor! After cutting the domain, Lord Shui has gathered military power again Yu Yi, if he succeeds in cutting down the vassal...the minister...the minister is worried that Master Shui is too powerful, he will inevitably have a heart of disobedience, and the situation will be chaotic at that time, and the emperor will not be able to control it!"

With a "crash", the emperor had already thrown the water glass in his hand to the ground, trembling: "Xu Ping is presumptuous! Presumptuous!"

"Your majesty calm down! I... I am reminding the emperor!"

"Don't tell me you haven't had enough of the lessons of Emperor □□? The history books have read into the dog's belly! Suspects don't need it! I believe in Shui Aiqing, I, I believe in her! She holds the jade seal in her hand, and if I come in person, then It is me, the power given to her by the people of the world. Besides, Shui Aiqing has been backlashed by the sword energy of the Nether Sword all these years. I... I can see her pain, but I am also anxious in my heart! Now, Chuanguo Yuxi It happens to be the nemesis of the evil thing, and after Shui Aiqing recovers, she will return the treasure. Xu Ping, you...you...don't mention it again!"

Then Xu Ping knew that the emperor was really angry, so he dared to make a mistake, so he hurriedly resigned.

The emperor stood at the bottom of the steps, looking at the shining dragon chair, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said in his heart: "It's ridiculous! Everyone says hello, everyone wants to sit on it, but who knows, that's it. The feeling of being extremely cold at a high place. Shui Aiqing, if you are willing, I, Xue Jing, will give you this dragon chair and this country, so why not?"
