Lin Fu,

Shen Tan sent someone to bring the food box in front of Lin Ziqing, lifted the lid of the food box, and saw a few stacks of delicious pastries in the food box, which could be smelled faintly. With the scent of herbs, Shen Tan bowed his hands respectfully to Master Lin, and said: "The new cook in the house has made some new pastries. I heard that the teacher prefers light vegetarian food recently, but his appetite is not good, and the students are poor. I left a few dishes for the teacher to give to try something new."

Lin Ziqing stretched out his hands and rubbed his frowned brows, and looked at Shen Tan who had already lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down at a small table with him.

Several years of tempering have already made the fledgling boy who entered the officialdom early in the early years into the appearance of a slick, worldly and sleek little fox. If you look closely, you can still vaguely see the sly and philistine in Mu Ziyu's old fox. Shen Tan must have learned a lot, good or bad, from Mu Ziyu's side in recent years.

Stretching out a piece of pastry pressed into an osmanthus mould, the tentacles were warm and cool. I put it in my mouth and chewed it carefully. Although it smelled like a burst of medicine, it tasted sticky and sweet in my mouth. Son, he has never liked sweets, so the brows are twisted a little because of this.

Shen Tan blinked, and said: "Next time, I will ask the cook in the house to put a few spoonfuls of sugar less."

Lin Ziqing's brows could not help but relax, but a soft look appeared on his face, "Recently, you guys have changed your ways and sincerely want to fill this medicine jar of mine."

Shen Tan cupped his hands and said again: "The teacher has always been thorough, and he is the No. 1 in the imperial court. Naturally, students dare not show off such trivial tricks in front of the teacher."

"Shenhou has already said something before, the teacher might as well listen to Master Shenhou's instructions once in a while, okay?" After finishing speaking, Shen Tan smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the small plate of pastries pressed into a butterfly mold. Said: "Teacher, why not try this Yunpian Cake again, it must not be as sweet and greasy as the previous one."

Master Lin raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Tan who looked like a little fox in front of him, but in the end he frowned obediently and put a piece of pastry into his mouth.

Lin Ziqing said: "Let's talk about it, let me hear it. You must not come here just for the cakes in this food box."

Shen Tan blinked, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide even half of the movement from you, teacher." The cunning and sleek appearance like a little fox, with those few blinks, his facial features instantly became clear. It seemed to be a lot more refreshing.

"Senior brother Gu sent someone to send me the message, I think the teacher should have received it." After speaking, he pointed to the sky first.Refers to the sky, naturally refers to the Son of Heaven.Pointing to his feet again, indicating the frontier where he is now, he stretched out his hand and grasped the saber at his waist. Grinding the hilt of the sword, the two fingers pointed to the court and the Jianghu forces, implying that someone deliberately wanted to provoke a conflict between the court and the Jianghu forces.

In his early years, the Son of Heaven had been quite dissatisfied with the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu had rioted everywhere. After all, it was against the strict rule of law of the imperial court. The people in the court wanted to take care of the affairs of the Jianghu. After all, it is inconvenient for the imperial court to intervene in the affairs of the Jianghu, and most of them can only let it go, which leads to constant disasters in the Jianghu martial arts. As soon as the alliance was established, people in the martial arts were chasing profit, and gangs fought against each other, which actually stirred up this muddy water even more.

The Holy Majesty was very annoyed by those people in the Jianghu who were really disobedient to discipline, and even Mr. Lin, who proposed the idea of ​​establishing a martial arts alliance, was very annoyed a lot in recent years. It's a rare mistake for an official, but this brat just said "Your Majesty, it's inconvenient for the imperial court to interfere in Jianghu affairs." He blocked him several times.

However, in fact, Master Lin has a somewhat different view on this.

When the Wumeng League was first established, there would naturally be scuffles between gangs, but after all, it was only temporary. Naturally, the big sects in the Jianghu would not let it go, and within half a year, they would definitely make a difference. As a result, the martial arts competition established by the martial arts league on its own is probably not far away.Although the news of the establishment of the Martial Arts League was released by the imperial court, it was rumored on the sidelines in the rivers and lakes. After all, the connection was not that great. The resistance in the Jianghu martial arts world is really not worth the candle.

For the current plan, it is just one word, the chaos will be reduced to order, and when the Wumeng formally establishes a firm position in the Jianghu Wumeng, the Wulin, which has been feared by the imperial court for a hundred years, will gradually return to order , It can be regarded as a real and fundamental solution to the troubles of martial arts that the court loves and hates.

However, although the idea is good, before it sees its effect, it seems to be a little bit unclear, and the Holy Majesty is more or less impatient. Judging from the current chaos, the Holy Majesty still has a bit of grudge against people in the martial arts world. Well, if someone in the court really intends to suppress it, the Holy Majesty will probably just ignore him.

But because of His Majesty's conniving attitude on this matter, some people in the court couldn't help but make big moves.

If the conflict between the martial arts and the imperial court erupts at this stage, who will benefit when the border war is about to start?

If civil strife breaks out in one dynasty, wouldn't it be the Yakui thieves who are waiting to watch over there?

"Your Majesty has acted too willfully in recent years." Lord Lin stretched out his hand to rub one of his foreheads with a wry smile, and after a lot of thought, coughing came up in his throat again. Because of this, a bit of bluish white flashed again and again between the eyebrows.

In all fairness, today's Holy Majesty is indeed a rare enlightened ruler. Leaving aside some of the turmoil caused by martial arts, most of the people under his rule have already lived a peaceful life where they can care for their children, depend on their old age, and live and work in peace and contentment. His ability is naturally expected by everyone, but in terms of political opinions alone, there are some shortcomings. Since he succeeded to the throne, the name of the emperor's holiness has been extremely prosperous, but he has accumulated a little bit of conceit, so In recent years, he has acted a little more willfully and casually, but it is a bit troublesome.

After the cough stopped, Lin Ziqing then said slowly: "It is rumored that Li Ling's sword is a famous sword in the world?"

Shen Tan said: "It is the Sword Against the Water."

Lin Ziqing suddenly said: "Xi Chao should not be in the frontier now."

Hearing this, Shen Tan covered his lips and coughed a few times.

Lin Ziqing said: "Xi Chao is arrogant, Li Ling is originally under his account."

"Yang Zhao placed Li Ling and Xi Chao in the same battalion. One is planning and the other is brave. This arrangement is quite appropriate. A month ago, Yake's [-] troops fought another battle at Baimapo. The former pawns who came to test the force were already insufficient, and they lost [-] at one time, so they must definitely not be able to regain their strength in a short time. It was rumored in the army that Li Ling was a traitor. Since Li Ling and him were colleagues in the same battalion, he Hearing this, he must have been extremely annoyed. Although Xi Chao has joined the army as an official, he still has a bit of quack spirit in his bones. "

Shen Tan lifted his eyelids, and the eyeballs flickered several times in the sockets.

Master Lin said again: "What happened to the owners of Lianyun Village sent by Xichao?"

Hearing this, Shen Tan couldn't help reaching out and touching his nose, but the expression on his face seemed to be a little more bitter. Under Lin Ziqing's extremely thoughtful and aggressive analysis and questioning, it was still evident that he was cunning and tactful before. little fox.

Lin Ziqing naturally knew about the correspondence between the two disciples under his sect, but Shen Tan knew best about Gu Xichao's current situation.

Shen Tan covered his lips with his hands and coughed a few times, and said in a low voice: "Why not, I will send all the people from Lianyunzhai to my residence." Lin Ziqing stretched out his hand and flicked a note, and it turned red.

"When did you suddenly become so unintelligent?" Lin Ziqing smiled, "Since Xi Chao sent those big wine jars to my house overnight, I definitely don't want anyone to find out about these people their whereabouts, not to mention that they are already a few 'dead people'. There are only three mansions under the feet of the emperor who will not be boldly interrogated easily. Do you think your mansion is more powerful than my general's mansion? It's bigger, the General's Mansion is already huge, and if you recruit a few servants, it won't be noticed in a short period of time, and it won't arouse suspicion, but if you come to your mansion..."

Shen Tan stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and hurriedly said: "Then it's better to place it in your general's mansion, teacher."

"Speaking of which, I still have one thing I don't understand..." Lin Ziqing murmured a few more times, "Xi Chao's actions have always... always been extremely ruthless, if this matter is to you, it is extremely reasonable, if it is For Yu Xichao..."

Shen Tan said: "What's wrong?"

Lin Ziqing rarely evoked a rather weird smile, "Xi Chao has always been cautious in his actions, not to leave any future troubles. If he had followed his original temperament, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so troublesome. Forced to go to Lianyunzhai, on the surface he and the two belong to the same court, and his gestures are naturally full of intimacy, but with his arrogant temperament that never puts ordinary people in his eyes, how can he control others? It’s best to let them fend for themselves.”

Shen Tan nodded slightly, and he also agreed with it extremely in his heart. A person who has always had a higher heart than the sky naturally would not take the ants in front of him seriously, let alone pay attention to the life and death of the ants.

Lin Ziqing said: "But now...the several village owners of Lianyun Village are not only alive and well, but also thought of arranging their place early in the morning. Zhai ordered the officers and soldiers to set off a big fire, and designed a nearly perfect fraudulent death situation with no flaws at all."

Shen Tan immediately clapped his hands, and said in surprise: "That's right, senior brother can be regarded as a jade-faced Shura in the Jianghu anyway, so it's needless to say that he is cruel and cruel, how can he be so kind and meddle in his own business."

Lin Ziqing smiled slowly and said, "This is a good thing."

"Perhaps it's because of his poor life experience in the early years. After all, Xi Chao's temperament is too cold and poisonous." Mr. Lin couldn't help but feel relieved, "Nowadays, it's rare for him to compromise with his temperament, presumably it's natural It has its own reasons."

"Xi Chao's temperament is too..." Mr. Lin paused, but couldn't help but frowned, reached out and rubbed one side of his forehead a few times, and a little tiredness flashed across his face, "Now, since he is It's rare to have something you care about, and even though it has a weakness, it would be extremely rare if your temper can be softened a little because of it." His eyes softened again, and his expression suddenly changed. It is extremely warm.

Looking at Lin Ziqing's current expression, Shen Tan felt that his scalp was numb for a while, and the eyes that were too "kind to be amiable" reminded him of Mr. Lin's face on the day he got married. I am really gratified, it is rare to be able to see a bit of happy expression from that face that has only one or two expressions all the year round.

A very kind and gratifying look of "the disciples of the sect should be getting married" at a glance.

Master Lin suddenly asked a question, "Do you know what kind of person Ruan Mingzheng, the three rumored masters of Lianyunzhai, is 'Sai Zhuge'?"

Shen Tan staggered for a while before responding, "No... I don't know."

The person Gu Xichao has had a lot of dealings with recently is indeed a famous person in Lianyun Village, but it is not the three masters of Lianyun Village, but... the big master of Lianyun Village...

Shen Tan covered his lips and couldn't help coughing a few times, "Senior Brother Gu, ahem, Brother Gu, could it be that there is no possibility that it's because... I'm softening my heart because of thinking about the kind of bosom friend who cherishes each other. come down?"

Lin Ziqing said: "What you just said is not impossible."

Shen Tan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Daren said: "The Lianyun village was burned down, and the leaders of the Lianyun village were forced to death one after another. In fact, it was the jade-faced Shura Gu Xichao who broke the Lianyun village with one foot. The sound of the wind from the rivers and lakes."

Shen Tan said: "This matter is indeed true."

"This kid is thinking of wanting someone to hate him." Lin Ziqing smiled slightly, and said, "It's best to hate as much as possible. It's wonderful to hate deeply."

Shen Tan said: "Well, why do people have to hate him for nothing?"

Lin Ziqing said: "When a person hates someone more, he will naturally remember this person more clearly and engraved in his heart, and one day, that person suddenly finds that his engraved hatred turned out to be nothing. .”

Shen Tan stumbled and asked, "What will happen?"

"I will still remember him, I will remember him forever." Master Lin stretched out his finger and flicked it on the table, waking up Shen Tan, who had already had a dull and strange expression on his face, but his face was rare. Can't help but show a bit of sympathy, "Xi Chao has always been the most radical and willful in his actions. If he has a crush on someone... he is really pitiful."

Shen Tan twitched one corner of his eye and continued to stumble and say: "It's really...really...very pitiful."

Master Lin held the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said leisurely, "But Qi Shaoshang, the nine-appearing dragon of Lianyunzhai?"

Shen Tan: ...

"If you think about it more carefully, the person who can make Xi Chao go down so ruthlessly is unlikely to be a woman."

Shen Tan: ...
