[Comprehensive] Code of conduct for famous ministers

The moonlight is bleak, shining through the layers of trees, leaving mottled light and shadow.

At this moment, this scene, coupled with the sudden sound of the flute as the background, made it even more weird.

The sound of the flute was obviously not an ordinary flute sound. Even with Yan Xiubai's cultivation base, his inner breath could not help but feel a bit of vibration at this time.

The sound of this flute is the same as his piano sound, it is a killing move that uses the sound of music as the means of attack.

Zheng—a zither sound cut through the night sky, abruptly interrupting the continuation of the sound of the flute, and a light yell sounded, and the man in the dark had already appeared, and the whole person was like a bat in the dark night, jumping towards Yan Xiubai. '

"Ding——" There was a crisp sound, and the long sword and the jade flute intersected. The one who suffered was definitely not Yan Xiubai. Head-to-head.

Even so, not only did the opponent not fall into a disadvantage, but he used a flute as a sword, with exquisite, chic and dexterous sword style, specifically attacking the vital points on his body.

The swordsmanship of both of them is light and agile, and the sword moves are pretty and elegant, and they are extremely beautiful. Such a life-and-death fight is not at all hostile, but elegant and calm, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.

The more Yan Xiubai fought, the more frightened he became. He hadn't encountered such a strong opponent for a long time, and his fighting spirit was slowly aroused.

Changgemen's Qin Zhongjian is not easy to get out of its sheath, blood will be seen when it is out of the sheath, Yan Xiubai is not an impulsive person, on the contrary he is very calm, but now, a rare good opponent is enough for him to temporarily put aside those calmness.

The other party cherished his jade flute very much, and Yan Xiubai forced him to block his sword. The person on the other side was obviously a little annoyed by his unreasonable style of play, flicking his fingertips slightly, a burst of energy shoot at him.

The same concealed weapon method, the opponent's breath is calm, and the stamina is long, it is definitely not comparable to Li Mochou's insidious method. Yan Xiubai is reluctant to use the piano to block it now. It went over the ear and landed on the tree trunk behind him.

A leaf fell gracefully and fluttered in his hair and sleeves, showing the depth of the other party's internal strength.

The cold light on the blade was fleeting. Yan Xiubai just wanted to swing the sword again, but he heard a crisp click. It was the sound of something breaking. He subconsciously looked for the sound. Under the moonlight, The jasper that had been split into several pieces fell from the opponent's hand to the ground.

......

Yan Xiubai suddenly felt uncomfortable for a moment. Although he did it on purpose, imagine that if someone broke his qin into several pieces like the opponent's jade flute, he would definitely fight him hard.

Thinking of this, he instantly became vigilant, even more vigilant than before, fearing that the other party would suddenly attack him.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Unexpectedly, the expected anger and revenge did not come, instead there was a burst of laughter, the laughter was thick and vigorous.

"That's right. I haven't met such a good opponent for a long time. My young friend is young but has such cultivation. He is a young hero!"

Just now they were fighting each other, but now they are boasting. The other party's attitude changed so quickly that Yan Xiubai couldn't understand it.

"Your Excellency's martial arts are also very good, but why do you help the evildoers!"

The other party was obviously a little surprised, "The boy is presumptuous, when did the old man help the evildoers?"

Yan Xiubai frowned, "Aren't you and Li Mochou on the same team?"

"Li Mochou? But that Li Mochou who is called Chilian Fairy in Jianghu?" The man snorted coldly and said, "Although I've heard of her, I haven't even seen her. How can we be together? Already?!"

"Then why did you stop me from chasing her?"

"When did I stop you and what? It's just that I came here first, and you hindered the old man's tranquility. I couldn't help but want to teach you some lessons."

The matter was finally figured out, but the result made people speechless, Yan Xiubai almost said helplessly: "You are quiet, but I have lost the person I want to arrest, what should I do?!"

Li Mochou was not stupid, and she was very good at seizing opportunities, so she ran away when the two of them were fighting in the dark.

"That's up to you." The other party said calmly.

Yan Xiubai was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

"Leave just like that?" The other party was a little surprised, "Wait a minute, you kid is good at martial arts, what's your name, then come and make gestures with me."

"No time." Yan Xiu said without turning his head, "I still have to arrest people, so I won't disturb senior's peace."

......

Of course, Yan Xiubai didn't go to find anyone again, fish like a sea bird returns to Bikong, relying on him alone, with unfamiliar people and places, it is absolutely impossible to find someone again.

He returned to Lujiazhuang by the same road that night, and the Lu family couple were very grateful to the savior.

After saving people to the end, Li Mochou was not caught, and Yan Xiubai seemed to be trapped in Lujiazhuang, unable to leave, and did not dare to leave.

Such a feeling of being bound for life gave him a headache.

Fortunately the next morning, Qi Ying actually brought the local Zhizhou with him, followed by a small group of soldiers and horses, the number of them was probably no less than a hundred.

The surname of Zhizhou is Huang, and he is not very courageous. When he saw Yan Xiubai, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, saying that he had not fulfilled his local responsibilities, failed to protect the lord, and let the monsters of the rivers and lakes run rampant and put the lord in danger. In short, Yan Xiubai heard The head is big.

After finally calming him down, Yan Xiubai immediately called Qi Ying aside, gave him a hard lesson, and told him not to come, but in the end he not only came, but also brought so many people with him. looking for trouble.

Qi Ying was also very wronged, he was his personal bodyguard, if something happened to him, he would be the one who would be the most unlucky, and what the other party had to deal with this time was not someone else, but a notorious female devil, could he It's strange to stay in the post house with peace of mind.

He didn't close his eyes all night, and he couldn't bear it any longer before dawn, and ignored his orders, and went directly to the local government office for help.

The helper was finally found, and the person was seen. He seemed to be unscathed, and things seemed to be a little different from what he imagined, especially after listening to the group of his subordinates happily narrating the great achievements of the lord last night!

Why didn't he believe that the lord beat the female devil head and fled with just one move?Although I knew that my lord knew martial arts, I just never had a chance to see him do it. However, no matter how good a civil servant is, his martial arts can't be this high, so why do you need him as a bodyguard!

Qi Ying suddenly felt a sense of crisis, a sense of crisis that his job was about to be lost!

Yang Guo, who came with him, didn't think so much. After hearing those rumors that were either true or exaggerated, he suddenly admired Yan Xiubai, who had always been a dislike to him, and kept circling around him. Qi Ying, who only had this treatment herself, saw it, and was inevitably a little jealous.

Yan Xiubai didn't like this kind of treatment at all, and he felt a little headache when he was transferred, "What are you going to do?"

"Is what they said true?" Yang Guo asked enthusiastically.

"Is this important?" Yan Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"Of course it's important!" Yang Guo emphasized his tone, his eyes were shining brightly.

Yan Xiubai ignored him, children at this age are always so jumpy, it's better for Yan Changsheng of his family.

After a while, Yang Guo came over again, "You really beat Li Mochou with just one move?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not, what exactly do you want to say?" Yan Xiubai is not an impatient person, but he has to say that this child is really annoying. Back then, Ji Tang was a few years younger than him, and more well-behaved than him I am much more sensible!

"Can you teach me martial arts? I will respect you as my teacher, and I will respect you in the future!"

"..."

Yan Xiubai never expected that the child would suddenly say such a thing, and he was a little dazed for a while, the topic jumped too fast.

He couldn't help touching his head and said, "I don't have a fever."

Yang Guo stomped his feet, "I'm serious, I want to learn martial arts and become a master of martial arts, so that no one will dare to bully me in the future!" He can even avenge his father!He held back the latter sentence in his heart and didn't say it.

Maybe he really wasn't joking, but Yan Xiubai didn't intend to accept disciples either, and just as he was about to say no, someone came to report that the female devil had been caught.

Yan Xiubai was surprised. Although he asked the people from Huang Zhizhou to search for Li Mochou's whereabouts, he never expected those people to catch him back. He ordered that once they found Li Mochou's whereabouts, they would come back and inform him. Let him take people.

But now, things are obviously beyond his expectation. Are those people brought by Huang Zhizhou so powerful?Did he underestimate this Huang Zhizhou? !

And when Yan Xiubai went out and saw the situation at the door, he realized that he was thinking too much.

Li Mochou was indeed caught, it didn't look good, the Taoist crown was gone, and the Taoist robe was also dirty and torn, looking like he had been ravaged and ravaged.

But these are definitely not what those officers and soldiers can do. It comes from the handwriting of the strange man in Tsing Yi who was surrounded in the middle.

The moment he saw the other party, Yan Xiubai knew who he was. Last night, the other party had been standing in the shadow of the trees, and he hadn't seen his true face clearly. Now, in broad daylight, he could see everything clearly. up.

The other party was wearing a green shirt, with gray beard and hair, but that face was extremely weird, stiff and numb, as if it was not the face of a living person.

Yan Xiubai could tell at a glance that it was covered with a human skin mask.

A very strange man indeed.

When the man saw him, he smiled shortly, and then said: "I didn't expect you to be a member of the imperial court. I'm disrespectful." He said disrespect, but there was no hint of disrespect in his tone, on the contrary, there was a hint of disrespect Ao Ran, "When did the imperial court have such masters? The old man is far away overseas, so he is ignorant."

Yan Xiubai frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know how many masters there are in the world, so how can everyone be known by everyone?"

"You're right. I've lived for so many years, but I can't say I've seen all the masters in the world." He said, throwing Li Mochou over, and continued: "The person you want , I’ll return it to you, I originally wanted to make a little friend like you, but now it seems that I can’t, the second thing I hate in my life is people in the court, it’s a pity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't look at anyone present, and walked away with a sway.

Yan Xiubai looked at his retreating back, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Does anyone know who this person is?"

No one spoke, but Li Mochou, who had become a prisoner, sneered and said, "Is there anyone who doesn't know about Dongxie Huang Yaoshi, one of the five uniques?!"

"Huang Yaoshi?" Yan Xiu raised his eyebrows.

Qi Ying came to his side and whispered: "Huang Yaoshi is the owner of Peach Blossom Island, his martial arts has reached the peak, and together with the other four people, he was called the Five Greatest in the World. In addition, it is said that he is well-versed in astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, five elements and eight trigrams, Qimen Dunjia, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even farmland water conservancy, economic strategy, etc. He is a well-known genius. Man Jianghu, but his personality is deviant, arrogant and uninhibited, he doesn't pay attention to etiquette and worldliness, so he is also called Dongxie!"

"What a pharmacist Dongxie Huang." Yan Xiubai sighed, "It's really a pity."

Just when Yan Xiubai was sighing, Qi Ying suddenly pointed to Li Mochou and asked: "Since the female devil has been caught, what should I do with it?"

"Of course it's in accordance with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty." Yan Xiubai said flatly, "Give him over to Zhizhou Huang, and let him act according to the law. Don't make any mistakes."

Although Qi Ying felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong for a while, so he finally said yes.

Yan Xiubai thought about it, but he was still worried, so he knocked her out and gave her a medicine.

Qi Ying wondered, "This is?"

"The medicine that temporarily sealed her power." Without his antidote, this temporary would be forever, saving this person from causing him any trouble.

The matter is basically settled now. Needless to say, the result of Li Mochou is definitely not good. She may be a poor woman, but she is a hateful devil. No matter how miserable a person's experience is, she is not qualified to His misery inflicted upon others.

After Li Mochou's incident passed, Yan Xiubai's journey was relatively smooth, but this journey gave him a clearer understanding of the current level of corruption in the court.

Corruption in the officialdom, collusion between officials and businessmen, this is still the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is no shadow of prosperity. The current court is just the afterglow before sunset.

According to Yan Xiubai's temperament, after seeing the chaos of demons dancing in the south of the Yangtze River, he wanted to rectify it, but although he had the title of inspector, he couldn't break the distorted balance.

Because once he makes a move, not one or two officials will be moved, but the entire Jiangnan officialdom will have to be overthrown and restarted. Even if the emperor came in person, it would not be easy to do such a thing, let alone him. .

Don't meddle in your own business, even if you don't like it, even if you really want to draw a sword to kill someone, you can't act impulsively, he repeatedly warned himself.

The big fish can't move, the only thing he can do is write the small fish and shrimp, this is the first time he is so aggrieved.

Fortunately, at this time, there was another Yang Guo gagging beside him, barely interrupting some of his concentration, perhaps because of this reason, Yang Guo pestered him all the way to ask him to be his master, but he actually endured it.

In the end, Qi Ying couldn't see it, and suggested that he teach him martial arts and let him not disturb the adults, but Yang Guo's answer was to roll his eyes, saying that your martial arts is too bad, which made Qi Ying angry.

Who relied on him at the beginning, and those who followed him wanted to learn kung fu from him?Now that he sees someone with higher martial arts skills, he completely forgets about him, Qi Ying can't wait to grab his ass and beat that little white-eyed wolf!

Yang Guo's entanglement skills are so powerful that even Yan Xiubai couldn't stand it after a long time, so he finally assigned some tasks, which they called tests, and if he passed, he would be accepted as an apprentice!

Yang Guo was full of fighting spirit and full of confidence, as if even the big things couldn't stop him, but after hearing the task assigned by Yan Xiubai, he immediately withered.

"I'm learning martial arts. Why do I need to read and practice calligraphy? Why do I need to learn how to play chess and read music scores?! I'm not going to take the exam to become the top scorer. Are you lying to me and don't want to teach me at all?" Yang Guo protested.

Yan Xiubai was not angry either, he just said flatly: "That's what my master taught me back then, and I also taught your senior brother that way, if you don't want to learn it, you can just forget it."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, indicating that the matter should be over.

"Wait!" Yang Guo gritted his teeth, "I didn't say I wouldn't learn. When I learn these things, let's see if you have any other reasons to lie to me!"

Yang Guo said that he has really learned. His family background is not good, and he did not go to school seriously, but he has a good mother, and he can recognize some basic and not very uncommon characters. It takes countless thoughts and thoughts every day just to have food and clothing, not to mention such extravagant things as reading and writing.

Fortunately, Yang Guo is quick-witted, even after a long time, he can still recognize those characters with a little recognition, but his handwriting is really invisible.

For half a month, he actually persevered. Yan Xiubai thought that he would never be able to bear it with his jumpy temperament, but the fact surprised him a bit. It seems that this little wolf cub is not useless.

This kind of thinking deepened when he was checking the results. Out of [-] points, he would get at least [-] points, which is already a pass. For a child who is not well-educated like Ji Zhan who is wandering outside, it is very rare. not easy.

For the time being, he accepted this disciple.

Yang Guo was very excited. Of course, if he knew that he was only a passing grade in the opponent's heart, he might be in a different mood.

The days after becoming a disciple didn't seem to be any different from the first half month, except that Yan Xiubai would set aside an hour every day to give him lectures, and asked him to copy [-] characters every night before he was allowed to go to bed.

In Yan Xiubai's words, as a disciple of the Changge Sect, how could he write such a ghost-like handwriting, and if it was spread out, he would be laughed to death, and he would never allow it!

Yang Guo's homework was not allowed to be missed for a day, and he continued from the south of the Yangtze River until he was about to return to Lin'an. Yan Xiubai only taught him to read and play chess, not a single move.

Sometimes Yang Guo can't stand it, and wants to protest, but Yan Xiubai suppresses them all, and from time to time he uses Ji Zang's example to teach him, Ji Zang was so cute back then, but now Yang Guo is really troublesome, too capable of tossing around.

After teaching and teaching, Yang Guo's competitive spirit was also taught. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to surpass that legendary senior brother.

While this was going on, Lin'an had already arrived.
