[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money
Chapter 97 The Yan Lide Family
Yan Lide stayed in Maoji to deal with follow-up matters on Feixian Island, and hurried back to the capital by himself.Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed, he got the decree passed down from generation to generation in Dongchang. The emperor asked him to rush to the north to deal with the Heihutang matter.
"One jade in the west and one jade in the north. When you meet the two jades, the situation is over." Feitian Yuhu, the master of the Black Tiger Hall, and Yu Luocha of the Western Demon Sect are both called Shuangyu. You must know that the Black Tiger Hall has just been established, and the newly rising gang How could it be possible to have such momentum without the support of a consortium of forming forces behind it.The forces behind this involved high-ranking court officials, and the Black Tiger Hall was entrenched in the northern part of the Central Plains, threatening the rear of the Northwest Army. How could the emperor tolerate it.
The Western Devil's Cult was converted from a country where politics and religion were united in the Western Regions. Jade Rakshasa has been in business for 30 years before it has such momentum. Why does the Black Tiger Hall have such power?Therefore, Yan Lide still prefers Heihutang to use Jade Rakshasa to touch porcelain, binding fame to gain popularity, and his power is not that strong.
Yan Lide was even more convinced of this after receiving the information about Feitian Yuhu, the master of the Black Tiger Hall.The head of the Black Tiger Hall is called Yu Feihu. He was originally an ordinary Jianghu man with barely a first-class martial arts, but now he has become a mysterious and well-known Jianghu force.To be honest, people in Jianghu are really not particular about choosing names, anyone with basic association ability can think of them.Yu Feihu's identity on the surface is his real name, but no one has ever discovered that he is Feitian Yuhu!Or is it that everyone is in the dark, so that "men's friendship" blinds the senses, and even the basic ability to judge is gone.
Yan Lide got the news of Dongchang, and took his Yanyun Eighteen Guards to the north, and didn't even return to the capital.The princes in the court should think that he is still trying to persuade Ye Gucheng to form an alliance on Feixian Island. This is also one of the emperor's intentions for urgently ordering him to return to Beijing but a secret order was sent halfway.
In the north, this place is a place where Yan Lide is familiar. He avenged the hatred of the country and the family, devoted his allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, and guarded the frontier. When this place is mentioned, it makes people feel open-minded and proud.
Yan Lide came at the right time. Yu Tianbao, the young leader of the Western Demon Sect and the fake adopted son of Yu Luocha, is dead. "Jia Leshan also died, and when Yan Lide arrived, it happened to coincide with Yu Feihu's death.Yan Lide believed that these people were all killed by Lu Xiaofeng!
There is an interesting rule here, the more well-known the name is, the less kung fu is often, and the end is miserable.The simple and clear way of picking nicknames like the leader of the Western Demon Cult, the owner of Baiyun City, and the owner of Wanmei Mountain Villa shows that their names are synonymous with top figures in the world, and no other decoration is needed.The shadow of a famous tree is just like Einstein is synonymous with top scientists. If you praise someone with superior martial arts in the world, you only need to say "how many tricks your martial arts can do under Ye Gucheng's hands" "Your martial arts are enough to challenge Ximen blows snow", these people have become benchmarks.
And those who add famous titles such as "Megatron", "Xiongba", "Dragon King" and "Batian" to their nicknames will eventually become cannon fodder.It’s like commenting on animals. Just mentioning the names of tigers and leopards, you can know that they are kings of the mountain. Other animals who want to pretend to be powerful like tigers must add mighty like tigers and agile like leopards, like?Not after all.
He arranged for his subordinates to check Yu Feihu's body, but they didn't find what Yan Lide wanted, and Yan Lide didn't force him, so the Northwest Army surrounded the main hall of the Black Tiger Hall and took away the wealth.Yu Feihu has no heirs, even if he had, the money obtained from selling stolen goods and looting cannot be passed on to future generations.Lu Xiaofeng only cared about killing Yu Feihu, and didn't care about what to do with the wealth he left behind.
Hurry up and hurry up, before Yu Luocha can react, the tiger's mouth snatches food and takes away the wealth accumulated by Yufeihu, and finally catches up with the scene where the three friends of Suihan are asking for their own death.
In the middle of the night, Yan Lide was hidden in the alley, Sui Han's three friends were chatting with Lu Xiaofeng, and dreaming of getting the Rakshasa card and becoming the leader of the Demon Cult.
"The Raksha card has only one side, and there is only one leader. It is useless for the three seniors to look at Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng can only be handed over to one person." Lu Xiaofeng could not beat these three people, and still teased without fear of death.
Withered Bamboo let out a shrill laugh, weird and ear-piercing, echoing in the dark alley, "Two peaches kill three warriors, Lu Xiaofeng wants to kill even two peaches?"
Lu Xiaofeng shrugged, "Everyone wants to be the leader of the Western Demon Cult, is the leader really that good?"
"Thinking of a prodigal son like you, naturally I don't know what kind of scenery the leader is, it's frightening." Han Mei sneered.
People like Lu Xiaofeng who want to eat meat but are afraid of being blamed, who want to be prime minister but are afraid of too much trouble, don't understand the benefits of power.
"Isn't the power of the Western Demon Cult not because he has a fearsome leader?" The future of the Western Demon Cult that lost Jade Raksha is uncertain. Whether it will be torn apart by the local forces in the rivers and lakes, or will be overthrown and divided by the small country that was merged back then. It's an unknown, and now these people are vying for the position of leader, and they are too bold and forgiving.
"It's still Lu Xiaofeng who has insight."
Somebody said something in the dark, Kuzhu sneered and said, "Don't build up other people's aspirations, destroy your own prestige."
Han Mei and Lone Song said in unison: "I didn't say that."
Suihan Sanyou and Lu Xiaofeng suddenly focused their eyes on the alley, and then Suihan Sanyou couldn't help shivering, because there was a mist coming from the alley, reflecting the lights on the roadside, making it even more weird.
Kuzhu, Hanmei, and Lonely Pine looked around and saw the cold sweat protruding from the forehead of their brothers. They all knew in their hearts that if that terrible guess was true, then they might die today.Are you just waiting to die like this?No, it can't be done, even if you die, you'll have to hold back. If you don't fight hard, how will you know that you won't be able to fight back!
All three saw the same determination in each other's eyes!Dry Bamboo took the lead in launching the attack, leaped over with a few brisk steps, and flew up to meet the drifting mist, ready to strike first.In just one round, the dead bamboo was slapped on the ground, like a really withered bamboo.Han Mei and Lone Song were so frightened that they immediately flew away in two directions, trying to distract the attention of the people who came, ignoring the dead bamboo that was delaying their time.
It's a pity that the visitor is not so easy to deceive. First, the lion beat the rabbit, pinching Han Mei's neck with a move of claws, and then crushing Lone Song's head with a palm.Ku Zhu, who was lying on the ground just now, took the opportunity to escape. It turned out that he had just started to fight for his life, but he wanted his two juniors to serve as shields for him.This kind of thinking is not ingenious, but unfortunately it is useless in front of the visitor, even if the mist is far away from him now, the dead bamboo that got up was still knocked to the ground by the hidden weapon.Before he died, Dead Bamboo turned his head unwillingly, wanting to see how he died and the true face of the murderer, but the man was still hidden in the mist, and the fatal wound on his body was not a steel knife The sword is just a piece of thin ice. In this summer, it used the inside to condense into an ice knife and pierced his chest.
Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath, and in a blink of an eye, the Suihan three friends, who gave him a headache and couldn't get rid of it, fell down like this. Could it be that the Suihan three friends' martial arts are not high enough?No, they are the elders of the Western Demon Cult, and they have many years of internal strength. They are already first-class masters in the world, but they can't do three tricks under this man's hands. This man's kung fu is so terrifying, who is he?
Lu Xiaofeng swallowed, his voice trembling, "Yu Luocha, the leader of the Western Demon Cult?"
"It's my seat." Yu Luocha said proudly, the three friends of Suihan were the big fish he caught, and after dealing with them, Yu Luocha's original intention of cleaning up the hidden traitors in the sect was fully completed.No one knew about such a great plan, and Yu Luocha, who was in a good mood, pointed to the corpse of Sui Han's three friends and explained: "You think that my martial arts must be at the peak to take down Sui Han's three friends within three moves, don't you?"
"The leader's martial arts are unrivaled." Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly flattered him.
"With the martial arts of these three people, it is not easy for anyone to defeat them, and this seat is no exception." Yu Luocha could hear a smile in his voice, and pretended to ask: "But why are they still dead? gone?"
"Because they are scared! They were defeated by me 30 years ago, seeing me is like a cat seeing a mouse, they are afraid and can't stand a fight!" Yu Luocha said proudly.He has the right to be proud. He hasn't shown his true face in the past 30 or [-] years. With just a cloud of mist and a Rakshasa card, he can command the Western Demon Cult.Even if he died, no one dared to question his decision. They all went to the Rakshasa card and followed his last order, instead of killing each other internally and competing for power.If not, how could Yu Luocha dare to die.
"Are you afraid too?" Yu Luocha suddenly asked sharply.
Lu Xiaofeng said in his heart that of course he was afraid, even Suihan's three friends were not your opponents, Lu Xiaofeng's confidence in himself was seriously lacking.But before Lu Xiaofeng could speak, a person came out from the shadow at the corner of the alley, and said, "Master Jade is very powerful, why not be afraid?"
"Brother Yan!" Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed, why is Yan Lide here?
"Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, no wonder you're called Lu Sandan, you really are a big fool, and you don't even know you've been taken advantage of by others." Yan Lide ignored Yu Luocha's ugly face, and said, "Our Master Yuda is standing here alive Do you understand? He is cheating death, using a photo of Rakshasa who doesn't know the authenticity, to lure out the dark ghosts in the sect, and then use you, a meddling Lu Xiaofeng, to gather all the powers in the world who covet the Western demon sect to the north and wipe them out in one go Such a clever strategy, I still admire it when I think about it now!"
Not everyone has such a high prestige like Yu Luocha, even a fake death can shock the crowd.Not everyone is like Yu Luocha, who has such a thorough grasp of people's hearts and human nature. The three friends of Suihan are already the elders second only to the leader in the Western Demon Cult. Who would have thought that they would be the first to rebel?
"Look at the Rakshasa card in your hand, is there a woman's smiling face on the back?" Yan Lide reminded, Lu Xiaofeng frantically took out the jade card from his bosom, sure enough, on the jade card that was supposed to be engraved with 72 Heavenly Demons and 36 Earth Demons, After adjusting the angle, you can see a beautiful smiling face, without too much explanation, Lu Xiaofeng has already exclaimed: "The face of the proprietress!"
Yes, this was forged by the master Zhu Ting, the real one is probably still in Yu Luosha's hands, I don't know if he gave it to Ximen Chuuxue.According to Ximen Chuuxue's current state, he might not accept it.It is ridiculous to think that the Raksha card, which everyone in the world flocks to, is carefully held in front of Ximen Chuuxue by Yu Luocha, but Ximen Chuuxue ignores it.Alas, even Yu Luosha's aggrieved and sad eyes are refreshing and inexplicably exciting!
Yu Luocha couldn't see the anger at being told the secret, and threatened with a smile: "When I see you, I will be in a bad mood. In order for me to live happily in the future, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for others."
"Jade Master, you are being polite. Yan Lide has never had such a beautiful character. Maybe others have, such as Xi..."
Before Yan Lide could say anything, the thin ice blade condensed by Yu Luocha's internal force was thrown over again. Yan Lide jumped up and twisted his body at a strange angle. I mean, in Western mythology, there is a kind of winged people called angels, they love to sacrifice themselves for others, where did you think~~"
Lu Xiaofeng figured it out, these two people have known each other for a long time, and they have old grievances, and their martial arts are very good, but they can't do anything to each other.This is not something that he should meddle in, Lu Xiaofeng is still alive and kicking after meddling so much nosy, it shows how self-aware he is.Lu Xiaofeng has always been proud of his intelligence, but watching these two people exchange words, each sentence has three or four meanings, suddenly his IQ is worrying.Lu Xiaofeng, who felt that his IQ had been hurt, left quickly.
After Lu Xiaofeng left, Yan Lide'er said: "Let's clear up the fog, it's already dark in the middle of the night, and there's a dense fog, so we can't see the road clearly."
Yu Luocha didn't care about him, and dissipated the fog around him like a good man.
"Even if you show your true colors, Lu Xiaofeng will not be able to see your relationship with Ximen Chuuxue, he has always been a black man." Besides, Yu Luocha has a pair of very recognizable green eyes, Ximen Chuuxue has black hair and black eyes.
"Why should I be afraid!"
Yan Lide shrugged, well, you are beautiful, you have the final say, don't be afraid if you are not afraid!
"What are you doing here?" Yu Luocha snorted coldly.
"I was afraid that the Master Jade would take my things by mistake, so I copied Yu Feihu's lair." Yan Lide said bluntly, Yu Luocha originally had the idea of collecting food for the cats and mice, and wanted to steal the inheritance of Heihutong. As Heihutang used his reputation as a reward for bundling sales these years, he has always tolerated Heihutang's actions.It's a pity that Yan Lide took the first step and couldn't disgust Yu Feihu, but Yu Luocha quickly looked away. He really doesn't value money. He is the uncrowned king of the Western Regions, and he is not short of money.
Yu Luocha had a cold face and didn't bother to talk to him.
Yan Lide followed Yu Luocha all the way, he ran all the way to the northwest, not to argue with Yu Luocha.Walking to the street, there is a soft sedan chair with white gauze on the east side, and many subordinates in black are standing beside it, matching the black and white, which looks very strange and permeating in the night.The west side is much more normal, red-clothed and black-armored, a BMW horse, and the elite of the Northwest Army are waiting for Yan Lide.
"Is Master Yu interested in establishing diplomatic relations with Daming?"
"Establish diplomatic relations?" Yu Luocha sneered, is he willing to bow down?No one knows the temper of the Central Plains dynasty, and Ming is even worse. It is absolutely impossible to be commensurate with the brothers and states of other countries. He regards the neighboring countries as vassal states.
"As a formal country to establish diplomatic relations, the land of your two countries is not bordering, and there is Oirat as a buffer in the middle. The ancestors taught us to make friends from a distance and attack from a distance!"
"Cailaye Gucheng got on the thief ship and came to lobby this seat again. Yan Lide, you have a good appetite, so be careful! But the emperor sits down as a lackey, what qualifications do you have to discuss with this seat, come back after you climb up to the position of chief assistant! "
"They're all a family, so why should Master Yu be merciless?" Yan Lide was going to talk to him about the relative relationship calculated from the Qian family.
"Don't you want to talk about marriage with me?" Yu Luocha snorted coldly, "What does the Qian family have to do with me?" Yu Luocha had already known about the fact that the Qian family asked the bodyguard bureau to find her aunt a few years ago, and she also knew about him. The kinship relationship with Baobao, the leader of the tribe attached to Wara.Although his wife died young, Yu Luocha was already an adult when he married his wife and had children, so these relatives are naturally clear.And he has absolutely no intention of admitting his relatives!
Yan Lide regretted that he had simulated the scene of calling Ximen Chuuxue "cousin" countless times in his heart, but it couldn't be realized.
Yu Luocha didn't save face at all, and flew into the white gauze soft sedan, and his subordinates in black lifted the soft sedan, and flew in the air. If any timid person who got up in the middle of the night saw this, he would faint from fright.
"Is Yu Luocha so relieved? Wouldn't I get back from Ximen Chuuxue?" Yan Lide said to himself, turned back to the Northwest Army guards, and said, "Go to Wanmei Villa."
Saibei Wanmei Villa is already one of the forces that passing merchants need to pay attention to.
Yan Lide did not take away the elite of the Northwest Army as guards, but still took his Eighteen Guards of Yanyun, who were born out of the Northwest Army.
Early in the morning, Yan Lide knocked on the door of Wanmei Villa.
"Trouble to report on your behalf, Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion Yan Lide begs to see you."
"The owner of my family retreats and sees no visitors..."
"I came here to discuss the way of swordsmanship. I just came back from Feixian Island." Yan Lide added this sentence expressionlessly.
The concierge is also a clever ghost, Ye Gucheng has extraordinary influence in Wanmei Villa, the concierge immediately invites Yan Lide and his party into the foyer to sit for a while, and quickly reports inside.Yan Lide looked at the simple foyer with amused expression, he hadn't been left out in the cold for so many years, even if he met in Qianqing Palace, there was always his exclusive seat in the side hall.
Maybe Ye Gucheng really has such a great charm, Yan Lide was quickly invited into Wanmei Villa.
Yan Lide waved back the eighteen guards who were following him, and followed the old housekeeper inside alone.The old butler was originally Yu Luocha's confidant, and he also received news from Yu Luocha to guard against death.Yan Lide just robbed them of the duck on the plate, the old housekeeper was very worried about Yan Lide, fearing that he would kidnap Ximen Chuuxue, who was devoted to swordsmanship, he is someone who can fool even Ye Gucheng!
That's right, the news of Ye Gucheng's Feixian Island and the imperial court's alliance has reached the hands of all major forces, and it is only a matter of proclaiming it to the world.
Yan Lide was led all the way to the sword room, which was the place where Ximen Chuuxue retreated.The huge sword room was empty, only two cushions in the middle and a word on the wall.The huge "Cheng" character hangs on the wall, and the words also reveal the meaning of the sword. The wall of the sword room made of stone has deep scratches from the sword energy. Qi vertical and horizontal.
Ximen Chuuxue remained silent and only gestured for Yan Lide to take a seat.
Yan Lide straightened his robes, sat down on his knees calmly, and asked, "It's been almost a year since the breakthrough, have you made any progress?"
"I don't have it, but you have it!" Ximen Chuixue's eyes brightened. He is the one who devotes his life to pursuing martial arts, and he is the most sensitive to the realm of martial arts.
"Yeah, I went to Ye Gucheng's newly built Feixian Island to fight and break through with the city lord." Yan Lide carefully told him about his conversation with Ye Gucheng, his previous confusion, the opportunity for his breakthrough, and his emotions after the breakthrough. Ximen Chuuxue listened. "Therefore, the improvement of swordsmanship is by no means the only way to be ruthless swordsmanship."
Is Jade Raksha high in martial arts?He does things as he pleases, and Ximen Chuuxue has such a sincere attitude of hard work.Is Ye Gucheng good at martial arts?He was once defeated by Ximen Chuixue's sword, and with the burden of a city's subjects, he also broke through.Now even Yan Lide has made a breakthrough. Compared with Ximen Chuuxue, or even any ordinary Jianghu people, he has far less time spent on martial arts, but he still made a breakthrough.These people all prove that ruthless swordsmanship is not the only way.
Today, Yan Lide's martial arts realm is comparable to that of Ximen Chuuxue.
Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are indeed confidants. When they hear the theory of kendo, the most direct reaction will always be: "Please fight with Jun!"
Before the words fell, Ximen Chuuxue's momentum surged, and the piercing sword intent rushed towards Yan Lide. This sword room is Ximen Chuuxue's usual retreat. All the characters turned into swords and stabbed at Yan Lide.
Yan Lide also no longer suppressed himself, his mighty inner force filled the entire space, and the mighty inner force met Ximen Chuuxue's surging sword intent, expanding, colliding, and exploding!
Both of them didn't spare any energy, they came out with all their strength, and after the confrontation, they contracted at the same time instantly, Yan Lide lost his strength and leaned back slightly, Ximen Chuuxue's arms were sore and limp, and naturally fell down.
This competition is purely a competition of internal strength and realm, without the burden of moves.For Ximen Chuuxue, his swordsmanship is always the most basic of stabbing, chopping, wiping, picking, pulling, pulling, breaking, and pointing. He moves his mind at will and combines them at will, which becomes an unparalleled swordsmanship.
Yan Lide sat down again, tidied up his clothes, and said: "In my view of martial arts, I refer to the views of the sages and great talents. I generally think that there are three types. The first view is that hard work can make up for one's weakness, and there are superb skills and perseverance beyond ordinary people , is the ordinary Shaolin Changquan, which can reach the level of no one in his hands. The second one believes that talent is the key, and there is no need for any martial arts cheats. If the most basic movements run through, it is an excellent move. After all, no matter how fancy a move is, its purpose is to kill. The artistic conception and belief are enough to support martial arts. There is no need for gorgeous moves, and it is a good move with the heart. Think of it as a kind of Tao, not the one you said, but as a religious belief like Buddhism and Taoism, and believe that martial arts practiced to a high level can enter the Tao with martial arts and break the void." Yan Lide is talking about Jin Yong and Gu Long and Huang Yi.
"Your belief should be the second type. There are many small sects in detail, each with its representative figures. I remember the wonderful deeds of Guo Jing, Chu Liuxiang, and Shi Zhixuan, three predecessors, and I will give you a reference." Yan Lide read from Huang Shang in Taoist classics At the beginning of realizing the "Nine Yin Scriptures", it talked about Guo Jing's great hero, serving the country and the people.From Chu Liuxiang's principle of never killing people to the belief in upholding justice with bare hands.From Shi Zhixuan's feats of learning from the strengths of other families, being compatible with Buddhism and Taoism, and founding a school, to schizophrenia, he died without a problem.Inevitably, more people and more things are involved in this, and their deeds only leave a short sentence or two, and no amount of language can describe the magnificence.
Yan Lide entered this stone room early in the morning, and talked about it until the Jade Rabbit rose to the east and the stars twinkled.There are no windows in the stone chamber, and it is all illuminated by night pearls.Yan Lide also talked about his interest, eloquently, his mouth was dry.Ximen Chuuxue pushed open the secret door of the stone chamber and brought out a bucket of clear spring to quench his thirst.The two of them didn't have a meal, they just talked about this painful spring, and kept talking until Yan Lide had mentioned all the representative martial arts characters he could think of.What he tells is not a story, but a biography of a person, extracting their views on martial arts from their experiences.
In the end, Yan Lide let out a long breath and said: "I can achieve today's achievements because of a lot of tricks. It is normal to stand on the shoulders of countless giants and see farther away. Ximen, you are a real genius, born for the way of swordsmanship." !" Even for an old monster like Yan Lide, his martial arts level was not as good as that of Ximen Chuuxue for a period of time, which shows Ximen Chuuxue's talent.
Ximen Chuuxue closed his eyes, as if he was digesting Yan Lide's story. Ximen Chuuxue had a strong intuition that these were not stories, but the real history that happened.
"My way of sword is still my way of sword." Ximen Chuixue said coldly. Hearing so many great deeds of sages, Ximen Chuuxue was overwhelmed and longing, but he still insisted on his own way. This is not stubbornness His own opinion is that after knowing more and understanding better, he still thinks that the path he embarked on is the most suitable for him.
"Of course, in the way of kendo, no one can be your teacher." Ximen Chuuxue should be so proud and arrogant.His Tao is comprehended by himself, and he does not need to learn from others.
"Thank you." Ximen Chuixue knelt down and straightened his spine, and solemnly saluted Yan Lide. He did not change his ways, but these past deeds were not useless.
"No, only in this way can I be worthy of the sincerity that Ye Gucheng gave me, and the sword of Longyin you gave me, Ximen." Yan Lide nodded. When he was engaged, Ximen Chuuxue gave him a sword and put it in the box. It has its own sword sound, like a dragon chant, and there are two small characters in seal script on the sword body: dragon chant.It's the ancient sword dragon chant, I don't know how much effort Yu Luocha spent to collect it for his precious son, but Ximen Chuuxue gave it to him instead.At that time, their communication was only the last confrontation in Shanxi Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion Water Pavilion, so how could Yan Lide repay such kindness.When Yan Lide got married, Wanmei Villa only had a thoughtful and suitable gift, and Yan Lide knew that it was a "professional" gift prepared by a housekeeper who was proficient in communication.
And Ye Gucheng was the first time in this world that he felt the friendship of the Jianghu people.The love of Paoze in the Northwest Army is very touching. On the battlefield, Paoze is the person who can deliver your back, the person who can give your life for you. The predecessor of Yanyun Eighteen Guards is his personal guard, his personal guard I don't know how many people were killed or injured on the battlefield.There are also sincere feelings in the officialdom, Hanwen's teacher-student relationship to him, the late emperor's kindness to him, these are all feelings.But Ye Gucheng was different, it was a kind of romantic, beautiful, vivid, completely different sincerity that Yan Lide had never touched.
With a few words, Ye Gucheng was able to agree to cooperate with the imperial court for him. Yan Lide was moved, but at the same time he felt ashamed. What can he do for Ye Gucheng?Is it just a small fight in the negotiation, the cession of interests?
Yan Lide wants to treat Ximen Chuuxue like Ye Gucheng did to him, the sword fairy is lonely, Yan Lide wants to give birth to a sword god, and giving Ye Gucheng an opponent is the best reward for him.
"You said that you once composed a song "Bai Yun Song"." Ximen Chuuxue asked.
"Yes, I have feelings from watching the flying immortals outside the sky, and I have feelings from the battle with Ye Gucheng."
"Can I hear it?"
"I can't ask for it, but I don't have any musical instruments." Yan Lide spread his hands.
"Follow me." Ximen Chuuxue got up and opened the door of the sword room.
Huh... The butler of Wanmei Villa and the people brought by Yan Lide surrounded the sword room, and they were slightly relieved to see that the two came out without the messy clothes after the competition and without any signs of injury.
Before the old housekeeper came up to ask if he needed to eat, Ximen Chuuxue first ordered: "Bring the sapphire flute."
The subordinates of the two parties lined up on both sides, Yan Lide and Ximen Chuixue walked side by side, walked into the pavilion, and looked far into the distance, there were bright moon, stars, and the cool breeze of summer night.
Soon the sapphire flute was brought over, it was cold in the hand, it was carved from a complete piece of cyan jade, after a light test, the music was clear and high-pitched.It turns out that jade can really be used as a musical instrument, Yan Lide sighed with emotion.
Such stars and such wind, how similar to that night in Baiyun City.Yan Lide felt it, and the music flew out from the sapphire flute and went straight to the sky.
At the beginning, Ximen Chuuxue was still looking at the night scene and meditating. Slowly, he was led into the artistic conception of the music, closed his eyes, and the scene of Ye Gucheng and Yan Lide's martial arts competition that day seemed to appear in his mind.
The martial arts masters of the two subordinates around him also felt that their realm was loose, and the Eighteen Guards of Yanyun seized the time to comprehend him. They had already tasted the sweetness on Feixian Island, and used music to help others improve their martial arts, which was unheard of by others. But personally experienced.
At the end of the song, Ximen Chuixue opened his eyes after a while, and said with a smile, "Worthy of the word Baiyun."
"So you can laugh too?" Yan Lide frowned, and the sword god smiled.
"I'm human, so I can laugh." Ximen Chuuxue returned to his expressionless face, but he could see joy in his eyes, "This flute is for you, and the gate of Wanmei Villa will be opened for you at any time in the future."
"Then thank you very much. I heard from Lu Xiaofeng that there is good wine buried in your estate, but you just don't drink it, and you even forgot where the wine is buried. Don't worry, I will consciously lighten your burden!" Yan Lide laughed loudly, He loves to drink, and he likes to drink low-alcohol wine, and the drink at this time is just what he likes.In the past, for the sake of the image of the imperial court official, he could only hide and drink at home, and he had to calculate the holidays for fear of making a fool of himself. Now he has broken the shackles and regained his new life, not sticking to the secular image.
There are a lot of idiots in this world, they can only follow others' advice, when you stand at a certain height, even if they don't understand your behavior, they will subconsciously respect or even myth.Great people are always different from ordinary people.
This session of the wheel talk lasted for a day and a night, Yan Lide spent an extra day in Wanmei Villa, and hurried back to the capital again.
In Tianjin, he met with Mao Ji and his party who were envoys to Feixian Island, and entered Beijing in a mighty way.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission. Feixian Island has agreed to cooperate with the imperial court in fighting." Yan Lide bowed and said, "The Tsingyi Building has been merged into the East Factory, and all the red shoes have been executed. Only Shangguan Xue'er is the only survivor of Jinpeng. , the Northwest Black Tiger Hall was wiped out, and Feixian Island in the South China Sea was merged into the Central Plains. Since then, there have been no forces entrenched in the rivers and lakes in the Ming Dynasty, please show your majesty."
"Is there really no power in the world that threatens the imperial court?"
"Yes, the only thing that can be said is the Twelve Links of the Eagle-eyed Old Seven. The imperial court has secretly supported the Cao Gang for many years, which is worthy of a battle. I think that when the war with the Japanese country started, it was also the Cao Gang and the Twelve Links. It's time to fight to the death. There is absolutely no possibility of defeat in this battle." Yan Lide said.
"The six gates have more than enough power to deal with the people in the Jianghu. It is time to re-establish a department to manage the Jianghu." The emperor pondered.The world here is not official history, but Jianghu. Since the first emperor, the royal family has been deliberately trying to change the status quo of too many people participating in politics during the Xianzong Dynasty. At this time, it is finally the harvest season.
"My minister thinks that there is no need to set up a department. It is enough to set up a separate division in the Ministry of War. In Jianghu, there are people like Huo Xiu and Aunt Gongsun who are so vicious and cruel, and there are people like Lu Xiaofeng who are understanding, smart and interesting, and people like Ximen Chuuxue regards martial arts as a lifelong pursuit. They are all His Majesty's subjects, and they should be treated as equals. In the newly established office, Reserve High School sits in charge, suppressing the masters of the rivers and lakes who refuse to obey the imperial court's control."
"Yan Qing was born in the Jianghu, so he is willing to be so restrained?" The emperor asked with a smile.
"Only by walking along the road can you reach your destination faster and safer. The rules are not to restrain the people in the rivers and lakes, but to better guide them, better contribute to the country, and better realize personal value. A win-win move, why not Why?" Yan Lide has never had any ill intentions towards Jiang Hu.
"Since Yan Qing said so, then set up a martial arts division in the Ministry of War. In the future, not only people from the Jianghu, but also masters from the folk, the military, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei can also work in the martial arts division. It is only open to the masters." The emperor ordered Well, Yan Lide is right, they are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to treat them differently, and the name does not need to be the "Jianghu Division" as they thought at the beginning. The Yanwu Division will be turned into a gathering place for masters of the Ming Dynasty.
"The department has been established. Where is the person in charge? Can Yan Qing have someone to recommend."
"What does Your Majesty think of Mao Ji?"
"Mao Ji is a literati, right? He doesn't know martial arts." The emperor was surprised. The management of the martial arts hall is full of masters. At least he must have the martial arts to shock the crowd, right?The emperor originally preferred Yan Lide to serve concurrently.
"Your Majesty, a person who is good at martial arts is not necessarily proficient in management. To be a chief official requires knowledge of people, ability to dispatch, communication, and coordination. A civil servant is enough. And the situation of the martial arts division is special, and the quality of the official system is set on two lines. One is management, the other is technology, full-time management of an official, the technology is similar to the elders of the Jianghu sect, who is responsible for instructing the younger generation in martial arts, and maintaining the prestige of the martial arts division. Mao Ji and Zhang Fan just complement each other." Yan Lide explained in detail, see Qing Dynasty. Shangshu's palm seal, Han Shangshu's work; refer to the classification of our party's business departments, professional and technical positions, and management personnel.
"It's feasible, and you still have full power to handle this matter." The emperor said loudly, the seeds planted by his father finally blossomed and borne fruit in his hands.
After Yan Lide returned to the court, Jiao Fang, Wang Jia, and Liu Yu were all demoted from the cabinet. Wang Jia and Liu Yu were exiled.At the same time, Xie Qian resigned.
Behind Heihutang is the support of Jiao Fang, Wang Jia, and Liu Yu, and Liu Yu has always supported and supported Xie Qian. Xie Qian didn't know it, and still "believes that Liu Yu is a human being" and played a cover for their small group.The emperor gave Xie Qian face, but he didn't deal with it, but Xie Qian didn't dare to stand in the court hall all the time, and took the initiative to resign.
In this way, Yan Lide rose four positions in the order of the cabinet, ranking seventh.But it is still the last one. When the emperor was newly enthroned, he added to the cabinet on a large scale for the purpose of decentralizing power. Now that the power of the imperial court is in the hands of the emperor, the cabinet is not so cheap.
The Yanwu Division was successfully established, and the first order received by the newly appointed partners Mao Ji and Zhang Fan was to thoroughly investigate the Taiping Palace.
"One jade in the west and one jade in the north. When you meet the two jades, the situation is over." Feitian Yuhu, the master of the Black Tiger Hall, and Yu Luocha of the Western Demon Sect are both called Shuangyu. You must know that the Black Tiger Hall has just been established, and the newly rising gang How could it be possible to have such momentum without the support of a consortium of forming forces behind it.The forces behind this involved high-ranking court officials, and the Black Tiger Hall was entrenched in the northern part of the Central Plains, threatening the rear of the Northwest Army. How could the emperor tolerate it.
The Western Devil's Cult was converted from a country where politics and religion were united in the Western Regions. Jade Rakshasa has been in business for 30 years before it has such momentum. Why does the Black Tiger Hall have such power?Therefore, Yan Lide still prefers Heihutang to use Jade Rakshasa to touch porcelain, binding fame to gain popularity, and his power is not that strong.
Yan Lide was even more convinced of this after receiving the information about Feitian Yuhu, the master of the Black Tiger Hall.The head of the Black Tiger Hall is called Yu Feihu. He was originally an ordinary Jianghu man with barely a first-class martial arts, but now he has become a mysterious and well-known Jianghu force.To be honest, people in Jianghu are really not particular about choosing names, anyone with basic association ability can think of them.Yu Feihu's identity on the surface is his real name, but no one has ever discovered that he is Feitian Yuhu!Or is it that everyone is in the dark, so that "men's friendship" blinds the senses, and even the basic ability to judge is gone.
Yan Lide got the news of Dongchang, and took his Yanyun Eighteen Guards to the north, and didn't even return to the capital.The princes in the court should think that he is still trying to persuade Ye Gucheng to form an alliance on Feixian Island. This is also one of the emperor's intentions for urgently ordering him to return to Beijing but a secret order was sent halfway.
In the north, this place is a place where Yan Lide is familiar. He avenged the hatred of the country and the family, devoted his allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, and guarded the frontier. When this place is mentioned, it makes people feel open-minded and proud.
Yan Lide came at the right time. Yu Tianbao, the young leader of the Western Demon Sect and the fake adopted son of Yu Luocha, is dead. "Jia Leshan also died, and when Yan Lide arrived, it happened to coincide with Yu Feihu's death.Yan Lide believed that these people were all killed by Lu Xiaofeng!
There is an interesting rule here, the more well-known the name is, the less kung fu is often, and the end is miserable.The simple and clear way of picking nicknames like the leader of the Western Demon Cult, the owner of Baiyun City, and the owner of Wanmei Mountain Villa shows that their names are synonymous with top figures in the world, and no other decoration is needed.The shadow of a famous tree is just like Einstein is synonymous with top scientists. If you praise someone with superior martial arts in the world, you only need to say "how many tricks your martial arts can do under Ye Gucheng's hands" "Your martial arts are enough to challenge Ximen blows snow", these people have become benchmarks.
And those who add famous titles such as "Megatron", "Xiongba", "Dragon King" and "Batian" to their nicknames will eventually become cannon fodder.It’s like commenting on animals. Just mentioning the names of tigers and leopards, you can know that they are kings of the mountain. Other animals who want to pretend to be powerful like tigers must add mighty like tigers and agile like leopards, like?Not after all.
He arranged for his subordinates to check Yu Feihu's body, but they didn't find what Yan Lide wanted, and Yan Lide didn't force him, so the Northwest Army surrounded the main hall of the Black Tiger Hall and took away the wealth.Yu Feihu has no heirs, even if he had, the money obtained from selling stolen goods and looting cannot be passed on to future generations.Lu Xiaofeng only cared about killing Yu Feihu, and didn't care about what to do with the wealth he left behind.
Hurry up and hurry up, before Yu Luocha can react, the tiger's mouth snatches food and takes away the wealth accumulated by Yufeihu, and finally catches up with the scene where the three friends of Suihan are asking for their own death.
In the middle of the night, Yan Lide was hidden in the alley, Sui Han's three friends were chatting with Lu Xiaofeng, and dreaming of getting the Rakshasa card and becoming the leader of the Demon Cult.
"The Raksha card has only one side, and there is only one leader. It is useless for the three seniors to look at Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng can only be handed over to one person." Lu Xiaofeng could not beat these three people, and still teased without fear of death.
Withered Bamboo let out a shrill laugh, weird and ear-piercing, echoing in the dark alley, "Two peaches kill three warriors, Lu Xiaofeng wants to kill even two peaches?"
Lu Xiaofeng shrugged, "Everyone wants to be the leader of the Western Demon Cult, is the leader really that good?"
"Thinking of a prodigal son like you, naturally I don't know what kind of scenery the leader is, it's frightening." Han Mei sneered.
People like Lu Xiaofeng who want to eat meat but are afraid of being blamed, who want to be prime minister but are afraid of too much trouble, don't understand the benefits of power.
"Isn't the power of the Western Demon Cult not because he has a fearsome leader?" The future of the Western Demon Cult that lost Jade Raksha is uncertain. Whether it will be torn apart by the local forces in the rivers and lakes, or will be overthrown and divided by the small country that was merged back then. It's an unknown, and now these people are vying for the position of leader, and they are too bold and forgiving.
"It's still Lu Xiaofeng who has insight."
Somebody said something in the dark, Kuzhu sneered and said, "Don't build up other people's aspirations, destroy your own prestige."
Han Mei and Lone Song said in unison: "I didn't say that."
Suihan Sanyou and Lu Xiaofeng suddenly focused their eyes on the alley, and then Suihan Sanyou couldn't help shivering, because there was a mist coming from the alley, reflecting the lights on the roadside, making it even more weird.
Kuzhu, Hanmei, and Lonely Pine looked around and saw the cold sweat protruding from the forehead of their brothers. They all knew in their hearts that if that terrible guess was true, then they might die today.Are you just waiting to die like this?No, it can't be done, even if you die, you'll have to hold back. If you don't fight hard, how will you know that you won't be able to fight back!
All three saw the same determination in each other's eyes!Dry Bamboo took the lead in launching the attack, leaped over with a few brisk steps, and flew up to meet the drifting mist, ready to strike first.In just one round, the dead bamboo was slapped on the ground, like a really withered bamboo.Han Mei and Lone Song were so frightened that they immediately flew away in two directions, trying to distract the attention of the people who came, ignoring the dead bamboo that was delaying their time.
It's a pity that the visitor is not so easy to deceive. First, the lion beat the rabbit, pinching Han Mei's neck with a move of claws, and then crushing Lone Song's head with a palm.Ku Zhu, who was lying on the ground just now, took the opportunity to escape. It turned out that he had just started to fight for his life, but he wanted his two juniors to serve as shields for him.This kind of thinking is not ingenious, but unfortunately it is useless in front of the visitor, even if the mist is far away from him now, the dead bamboo that got up was still knocked to the ground by the hidden weapon.Before he died, Dead Bamboo turned his head unwillingly, wanting to see how he died and the true face of the murderer, but the man was still hidden in the mist, and the fatal wound on his body was not a steel knife The sword is just a piece of thin ice. In this summer, it used the inside to condense into an ice knife and pierced his chest.
Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath, and in a blink of an eye, the Suihan three friends, who gave him a headache and couldn't get rid of it, fell down like this. Could it be that the Suihan three friends' martial arts are not high enough?No, they are the elders of the Western Demon Cult, and they have many years of internal strength. They are already first-class masters in the world, but they can't do three tricks under this man's hands. This man's kung fu is so terrifying, who is he?
Lu Xiaofeng swallowed, his voice trembling, "Yu Luocha, the leader of the Western Demon Cult?"
"It's my seat." Yu Luocha said proudly, the three friends of Suihan were the big fish he caught, and after dealing with them, Yu Luocha's original intention of cleaning up the hidden traitors in the sect was fully completed.No one knew about such a great plan, and Yu Luocha, who was in a good mood, pointed to the corpse of Sui Han's three friends and explained: "You think that my martial arts must be at the peak to take down Sui Han's three friends within three moves, don't you?"
"The leader's martial arts are unrivaled." Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly flattered him.
"With the martial arts of these three people, it is not easy for anyone to defeat them, and this seat is no exception." Yu Luocha could hear a smile in his voice, and pretended to ask: "But why are they still dead? gone?"
"Because they are scared! They were defeated by me 30 years ago, seeing me is like a cat seeing a mouse, they are afraid and can't stand a fight!" Yu Luocha said proudly.He has the right to be proud. He hasn't shown his true face in the past 30 or [-] years. With just a cloud of mist and a Rakshasa card, he can command the Western Demon Cult.Even if he died, no one dared to question his decision. They all went to the Rakshasa card and followed his last order, instead of killing each other internally and competing for power.If not, how could Yu Luocha dare to die.
"Are you afraid too?" Yu Luocha suddenly asked sharply.
Lu Xiaofeng said in his heart that of course he was afraid, even Suihan's three friends were not your opponents, Lu Xiaofeng's confidence in himself was seriously lacking.But before Lu Xiaofeng could speak, a person came out from the shadow at the corner of the alley, and said, "Master Jade is very powerful, why not be afraid?"
"Brother Yan!" Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed, why is Yan Lide here?
"Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, no wonder you're called Lu Sandan, you really are a big fool, and you don't even know you've been taken advantage of by others." Yan Lide ignored Yu Luocha's ugly face, and said, "Our Master Yuda is standing here alive Do you understand? He is cheating death, using a photo of Rakshasa who doesn't know the authenticity, to lure out the dark ghosts in the sect, and then use you, a meddling Lu Xiaofeng, to gather all the powers in the world who covet the Western demon sect to the north and wipe them out in one go Such a clever strategy, I still admire it when I think about it now!"
Not everyone has such a high prestige like Yu Luocha, even a fake death can shock the crowd.Not everyone is like Yu Luocha, who has such a thorough grasp of people's hearts and human nature. The three friends of Suihan are already the elders second only to the leader in the Western Demon Cult. Who would have thought that they would be the first to rebel?
"Look at the Rakshasa card in your hand, is there a woman's smiling face on the back?" Yan Lide reminded, Lu Xiaofeng frantically took out the jade card from his bosom, sure enough, on the jade card that was supposed to be engraved with 72 Heavenly Demons and 36 Earth Demons, After adjusting the angle, you can see a beautiful smiling face, without too much explanation, Lu Xiaofeng has already exclaimed: "The face of the proprietress!"
Yes, this was forged by the master Zhu Ting, the real one is probably still in Yu Luosha's hands, I don't know if he gave it to Ximen Chuuxue.According to Ximen Chuuxue's current state, he might not accept it.It is ridiculous to think that the Raksha card, which everyone in the world flocks to, is carefully held in front of Ximen Chuuxue by Yu Luocha, but Ximen Chuuxue ignores it.Alas, even Yu Luosha's aggrieved and sad eyes are refreshing and inexplicably exciting!
Yu Luocha couldn't see the anger at being told the secret, and threatened with a smile: "When I see you, I will be in a bad mood. In order for me to live happily in the future, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for others."
"Jade Master, you are being polite. Yan Lide has never had such a beautiful character. Maybe others have, such as Xi..."
Before Yan Lide could say anything, the thin ice blade condensed by Yu Luocha's internal force was thrown over again. Yan Lide jumped up and twisted his body at a strange angle. I mean, in Western mythology, there is a kind of winged people called angels, they love to sacrifice themselves for others, where did you think~~"
Lu Xiaofeng figured it out, these two people have known each other for a long time, and they have old grievances, and their martial arts are very good, but they can't do anything to each other.This is not something that he should meddle in, Lu Xiaofeng is still alive and kicking after meddling so much nosy, it shows how self-aware he is.Lu Xiaofeng has always been proud of his intelligence, but watching these two people exchange words, each sentence has three or four meanings, suddenly his IQ is worrying.Lu Xiaofeng, who felt that his IQ had been hurt, left quickly.
After Lu Xiaofeng left, Yan Lide'er said: "Let's clear up the fog, it's already dark in the middle of the night, and there's a dense fog, so we can't see the road clearly."
Yu Luocha didn't care about him, and dissipated the fog around him like a good man.
"Even if you show your true colors, Lu Xiaofeng will not be able to see your relationship with Ximen Chuuxue, he has always been a black man." Besides, Yu Luocha has a pair of very recognizable green eyes, Ximen Chuuxue has black hair and black eyes.
"Why should I be afraid!"
Yan Lide shrugged, well, you are beautiful, you have the final say, don't be afraid if you are not afraid!
"What are you doing here?" Yu Luocha snorted coldly.
"I was afraid that the Master Jade would take my things by mistake, so I copied Yu Feihu's lair." Yan Lide said bluntly, Yu Luocha originally had the idea of collecting food for the cats and mice, and wanted to steal the inheritance of Heihutong. As Heihutang used his reputation as a reward for bundling sales these years, he has always tolerated Heihutang's actions.It's a pity that Yan Lide took the first step and couldn't disgust Yu Feihu, but Yu Luocha quickly looked away. He really doesn't value money. He is the uncrowned king of the Western Regions, and he is not short of money.
Yu Luocha had a cold face and didn't bother to talk to him.
Yan Lide followed Yu Luocha all the way, he ran all the way to the northwest, not to argue with Yu Luocha.Walking to the street, there is a soft sedan chair with white gauze on the east side, and many subordinates in black are standing beside it, matching the black and white, which looks very strange and permeating in the night.The west side is much more normal, red-clothed and black-armored, a BMW horse, and the elite of the Northwest Army are waiting for Yan Lide.
"Is Master Yu interested in establishing diplomatic relations with Daming?"
"Establish diplomatic relations?" Yu Luocha sneered, is he willing to bow down?No one knows the temper of the Central Plains dynasty, and Ming is even worse. It is absolutely impossible to be commensurate with the brothers and states of other countries. He regards the neighboring countries as vassal states.
"As a formal country to establish diplomatic relations, the land of your two countries is not bordering, and there is Oirat as a buffer in the middle. The ancestors taught us to make friends from a distance and attack from a distance!"
"Cailaye Gucheng got on the thief ship and came to lobby this seat again. Yan Lide, you have a good appetite, so be careful! But the emperor sits down as a lackey, what qualifications do you have to discuss with this seat, come back after you climb up to the position of chief assistant! "
"They're all a family, so why should Master Yu be merciless?" Yan Lide was going to talk to him about the relative relationship calculated from the Qian family.
"Don't you want to talk about marriage with me?" Yu Luocha snorted coldly, "What does the Qian family have to do with me?" Yu Luocha had already known about the fact that the Qian family asked the bodyguard bureau to find her aunt a few years ago, and she also knew about him. The kinship relationship with Baobao, the leader of the tribe attached to Wara.Although his wife died young, Yu Luocha was already an adult when he married his wife and had children, so these relatives are naturally clear.And he has absolutely no intention of admitting his relatives!
Yan Lide regretted that he had simulated the scene of calling Ximen Chuuxue "cousin" countless times in his heart, but it couldn't be realized.
Yu Luocha didn't save face at all, and flew into the white gauze soft sedan, and his subordinates in black lifted the soft sedan, and flew in the air. If any timid person who got up in the middle of the night saw this, he would faint from fright.
"Is Yu Luocha so relieved? Wouldn't I get back from Ximen Chuuxue?" Yan Lide said to himself, turned back to the Northwest Army guards, and said, "Go to Wanmei Villa."
Saibei Wanmei Villa is already one of the forces that passing merchants need to pay attention to.
Yan Lide did not take away the elite of the Northwest Army as guards, but still took his Eighteen Guards of Yanyun, who were born out of the Northwest Army.
Early in the morning, Yan Lide knocked on the door of Wanmei Villa.
"Trouble to report on your behalf, Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion Yan Lide begs to see you."
"The owner of my family retreats and sees no visitors..."
"I came here to discuss the way of swordsmanship. I just came back from Feixian Island." Yan Lide added this sentence expressionlessly.
The concierge is also a clever ghost, Ye Gucheng has extraordinary influence in Wanmei Villa, the concierge immediately invites Yan Lide and his party into the foyer to sit for a while, and quickly reports inside.Yan Lide looked at the simple foyer with amused expression, he hadn't been left out in the cold for so many years, even if he met in Qianqing Palace, there was always his exclusive seat in the side hall.
Maybe Ye Gucheng really has such a great charm, Yan Lide was quickly invited into Wanmei Villa.
Yan Lide waved back the eighteen guards who were following him, and followed the old housekeeper inside alone.The old butler was originally Yu Luocha's confidant, and he also received news from Yu Luocha to guard against death.Yan Lide just robbed them of the duck on the plate, the old housekeeper was very worried about Yan Lide, fearing that he would kidnap Ximen Chuuxue, who was devoted to swordsmanship, he is someone who can fool even Ye Gucheng!
That's right, the news of Ye Gucheng's Feixian Island and the imperial court's alliance has reached the hands of all major forces, and it is only a matter of proclaiming it to the world.
Yan Lide was led all the way to the sword room, which was the place where Ximen Chuuxue retreated.The huge sword room was empty, only two cushions in the middle and a word on the wall.The huge "Cheng" character hangs on the wall, and the words also reveal the meaning of the sword. The wall of the sword room made of stone has deep scratches from the sword energy. Qi vertical and horizontal.
Ximen Chuuxue remained silent and only gestured for Yan Lide to take a seat.
Yan Lide straightened his robes, sat down on his knees calmly, and asked, "It's been almost a year since the breakthrough, have you made any progress?"
"I don't have it, but you have it!" Ximen Chuixue's eyes brightened. He is the one who devotes his life to pursuing martial arts, and he is the most sensitive to the realm of martial arts.
"Yeah, I went to Ye Gucheng's newly built Feixian Island to fight and break through with the city lord." Yan Lide carefully told him about his conversation with Ye Gucheng, his previous confusion, the opportunity for his breakthrough, and his emotions after the breakthrough. Ximen Chuuxue listened. "Therefore, the improvement of swordsmanship is by no means the only way to be ruthless swordsmanship."
Is Jade Raksha high in martial arts?He does things as he pleases, and Ximen Chuuxue has such a sincere attitude of hard work.Is Ye Gucheng good at martial arts?He was once defeated by Ximen Chuixue's sword, and with the burden of a city's subjects, he also broke through.Now even Yan Lide has made a breakthrough. Compared with Ximen Chuuxue, or even any ordinary Jianghu people, he has far less time spent on martial arts, but he still made a breakthrough.These people all prove that ruthless swordsmanship is not the only way.
Today, Yan Lide's martial arts realm is comparable to that of Ximen Chuuxue.
Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are indeed confidants. When they hear the theory of kendo, the most direct reaction will always be: "Please fight with Jun!"
Before the words fell, Ximen Chuuxue's momentum surged, and the piercing sword intent rushed towards Yan Lide. This sword room is Ximen Chuuxue's usual retreat. All the characters turned into swords and stabbed at Yan Lide.
Yan Lide also no longer suppressed himself, his mighty inner force filled the entire space, and the mighty inner force met Ximen Chuuxue's surging sword intent, expanding, colliding, and exploding!
Both of them didn't spare any energy, they came out with all their strength, and after the confrontation, they contracted at the same time instantly, Yan Lide lost his strength and leaned back slightly, Ximen Chuuxue's arms were sore and limp, and naturally fell down.
This competition is purely a competition of internal strength and realm, without the burden of moves.For Ximen Chuuxue, his swordsmanship is always the most basic of stabbing, chopping, wiping, picking, pulling, pulling, breaking, and pointing. He moves his mind at will and combines them at will, which becomes an unparalleled swordsmanship.
Yan Lide sat down again, tidied up his clothes, and said: "In my view of martial arts, I refer to the views of the sages and great talents. I generally think that there are three types. The first view is that hard work can make up for one's weakness, and there are superb skills and perseverance beyond ordinary people , is the ordinary Shaolin Changquan, which can reach the level of no one in his hands. The second one believes that talent is the key, and there is no need for any martial arts cheats. If the most basic movements run through, it is an excellent move. After all, no matter how fancy a move is, its purpose is to kill. The artistic conception and belief are enough to support martial arts. There is no need for gorgeous moves, and it is a good move with the heart. Think of it as a kind of Tao, not the one you said, but as a religious belief like Buddhism and Taoism, and believe that martial arts practiced to a high level can enter the Tao with martial arts and break the void." Yan Lide is talking about Jin Yong and Gu Long and Huang Yi.
"Your belief should be the second type. There are many small sects in detail, each with its representative figures. I remember the wonderful deeds of Guo Jing, Chu Liuxiang, and Shi Zhixuan, three predecessors, and I will give you a reference." Yan Lide read from Huang Shang in Taoist classics At the beginning of realizing the "Nine Yin Scriptures", it talked about Guo Jing's great hero, serving the country and the people.From Chu Liuxiang's principle of never killing people to the belief in upholding justice with bare hands.From Shi Zhixuan's feats of learning from the strengths of other families, being compatible with Buddhism and Taoism, and founding a school, to schizophrenia, he died without a problem.Inevitably, more people and more things are involved in this, and their deeds only leave a short sentence or two, and no amount of language can describe the magnificence.
Yan Lide entered this stone room early in the morning, and talked about it until the Jade Rabbit rose to the east and the stars twinkled.There are no windows in the stone chamber, and it is all illuminated by night pearls.Yan Lide also talked about his interest, eloquently, his mouth was dry.Ximen Chuuxue pushed open the secret door of the stone chamber and brought out a bucket of clear spring to quench his thirst.The two of them didn't have a meal, they just talked about this painful spring, and kept talking until Yan Lide had mentioned all the representative martial arts characters he could think of.What he tells is not a story, but a biography of a person, extracting their views on martial arts from their experiences.
In the end, Yan Lide let out a long breath and said: "I can achieve today's achievements because of a lot of tricks. It is normal to stand on the shoulders of countless giants and see farther away. Ximen, you are a real genius, born for the way of swordsmanship." !" Even for an old monster like Yan Lide, his martial arts level was not as good as that of Ximen Chuuxue for a period of time, which shows Ximen Chuuxue's talent.
Ximen Chuuxue closed his eyes, as if he was digesting Yan Lide's story. Ximen Chuuxue had a strong intuition that these were not stories, but the real history that happened.
"My way of sword is still my way of sword." Ximen Chuixue said coldly. Hearing so many great deeds of sages, Ximen Chuuxue was overwhelmed and longing, but he still insisted on his own way. This is not stubbornness His own opinion is that after knowing more and understanding better, he still thinks that the path he embarked on is the most suitable for him.
"Of course, in the way of kendo, no one can be your teacher." Ximen Chuuxue should be so proud and arrogant.His Tao is comprehended by himself, and he does not need to learn from others.
"Thank you." Ximen Chuixue knelt down and straightened his spine, and solemnly saluted Yan Lide. He did not change his ways, but these past deeds were not useless.
"No, only in this way can I be worthy of the sincerity that Ye Gucheng gave me, and the sword of Longyin you gave me, Ximen." Yan Lide nodded. When he was engaged, Ximen Chuuxue gave him a sword and put it in the box. It has its own sword sound, like a dragon chant, and there are two small characters in seal script on the sword body: dragon chant.It's the ancient sword dragon chant, I don't know how much effort Yu Luocha spent to collect it for his precious son, but Ximen Chuuxue gave it to him instead.At that time, their communication was only the last confrontation in Shanxi Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion Water Pavilion, so how could Yan Lide repay such kindness.When Yan Lide got married, Wanmei Villa only had a thoughtful and suitable gift, and Yan Lide knew that it was a "professional" gift prepared by a housekeeper who was proficient in communication.
And Ye Gucheng was the first time in this world that he felt the friendship of the Jianghu people.The love of Paoze in the Northwest Army is very touching. On the battlefield, Paoze is the person who can deliver your back, the person who can give your life for you. The predecessor of Yanyun Eighteen Guards is his personal guard, his personal guard I don't know how many people were killed or injured on the battlefield.There are also sincere feelings in the officialdom, Hanwen's teacher-student relationship to him, the late emperor's kindness to him, these are all feelings.But Ye Gucheng was different, it was a kind of romantic, beautiful, vivid, completely different sincerity that Yan Lide had never touched.
With a few words, Ye Gucheng was able to agree to cooperate with the imperial court for him. Yan Lide was moved, but at the same time he felt ashamed. What can he do for Ye Gucheng?Is it just a small fight in the negotiation, the cession of interests?
Yan Lide wants to treat Ximen Chuuxue like Ye Gucheng did to him, the sword fairy is lonely, Yan Lide wants to give birth to a sword god, and giving Ye Gucheng an opponent is the best reward for him.
"You said that you once composed a song "Bai Yun Song"." Ximen Chuuxue asked.
"Yes, I have feelings from watching the flying immortals outside the sky, and I have feelings from the battle with Ye Gucheng."
"Can I hear it?"
"I can't ask for it, but I don't have any musical instruments." Yan Lide spread his hands.
"Follow me." Ximen Chuuxue got up and opened the door of the sword room.
Huh... The butler of Wanmei Villa and the people brought by Yan Lide surrounded the sword room, and they were slightly relieved to see that the two came out without the messy clothes after the competition and without any signs of injury.
Before the old housekeeper came up to ask if he needed to eat, Ximen Chuuxue first ordered: "Bring the sapphire flute."
The subordinates of the two parties lined up on both sides, Yan Lide and Ximen Chuixue walked side by side, walked into the pavilion, and looked far into the distance, there were bright moon, stars, and the cool breeze of summer night.
Soon the sapphire flute was brought over, it was cold in the hand, it was carved from a complete piece of cyan jade, after a light test, the music was clear and high-pitched.It turns out that jade can really be used as a musical instrument, Yan Lide sighed with emotion.
Such stars and such wind, how similar to that night in Baiyun City.Yan Lide felt it, and the music flew out from the sapphire flute and went straight to the sky.
At the beginning, Ximen Chuuxue was still looking at the night scene and meditating. Slowly, he was led into the artistic conception of the music, closed his eyes, and the scene of Ye Gucheng and Yan Lide's martial arts competition that day seemed to appear in his mind.
The martial arts masters of the two subordinates around him also felt that their realm was loose, and the Eighteen Guards of Yanyun seized the time to comprehend him. They had already tasted the sweetness on Feixian Island, and used music to help others improve their martial arts, which was unheard of by others. But personally experienced.
At the end of the song, Ximen Chuixue opened his eyes after a while, and said with a smile, "Worthy of the word Baiyun."
"So you can laugh too?" Yan Lide frowned, and the sword god smiled.
"I'm human, so I can laugh." Ximen Chuuxue returned to his expressionless face, but he could see joy in his eyes, "This flute is for you, and the gate of Wanmei Villa will be opened for you at any time in the future."
"Then thank you very much. I heard from Lu Xiaofeng that there is good wine buried in your estate, but you just don't drink it, and you even forgot where the wine is buried. Don't worry, I will consciously lighten your burden!" Yan Lide laughed loudly, He loves to drink, and he likes to drink low-alcohol wine, and the drink at this time is just what he likes.In the past, for the sake of the image of the imperial court official, he could only hide and drink at home, and he had to calculate the holidays for fear of making a fool of himself. Now he has broken the shackles and regained his new life, not sticking to the secular image.
There are a lot of idiots in this world, they can only follow others' advice, when you stand at a certain height, even if they don't understand your behavior, they will subconsciously respect or even myth.Great people are always different from ordinary people.
This session of the wheel talk lasted for a day and a night, Yan Lide spent an extra day in Wanmei Villa, and hurried back to the capital again.
In Tianjin, he met with Mao Ji and his party who were envoys to Feixian Island, and entered Beijing in a mighty way.
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled my mission. Feixian Island has agreed to cooperate with the imperial court in fighting." Yan Lide bowed and said, "The Tsingyi Building has been merged into the East Factory, and all the red shoes have been executed. Only Shangguan Xue'er is the only survivor of Jinpeng. , the Northwest Black Tiger Hall was wiped out, and Feixian Island in the South China Sea was merged into the Central Plains. Since then, there have been no forces entrenched in the rivers and lakes in the Ming Dynasty, please show your majesty."
"Is there really no power in the world that threatens the imperial court?"
"Yes, the only thing that can be said is the Twelve Links of the Eagle-eyed Old Seven. The imperial court has secretly supported the Cao Gang for many years, which is worthy of a battle. I think that when the war with the Japanese country started, it was also the Cao Gang and the Twelve Links. It's time to fight to the death. There is absolutely no possibility of defeat in this battle." Yan Lide said.
"The six gates have more than enough power to deal with the people in the Jianghu. It is time to re-establish a department to manage the Jianghu." The emperor pondered.The world here is not official history, but Jianghu. Since the first emperor, the royal family has been deliberately trying to change the status quo of too many people participating in politics during the Xianzong Dynasty. At this time, it is finally the harvest season.
"My minister thinks that there is no need to set up a department. It is enough to set up a separate division in the Ministry of War. In Jianghu, there are people like Huo Xiu and Aunt Gongsun who are so vicious and cruel, and there are people like Lu Xiaofeng who are understanding, smart and interesting, and people like Ximen Chuuxue regards martial arts as a lifelong pursuit. They are all His Majesty's subjects, and they should be treated as equals. In the newly established office, Reserve High School sits in charge, suppressing the masters of the rivers and lakes who refuse to obey the imperial court's control."
"Yan Qing was born in the Jianghu, so he is willing to be so restrained?" The emperor asked with a smile.
"Only by walking along the road can you reach your destination faster and safer. The rules are not to restrain the people in the rivers and lakes, but to better guide them, better contribute to the country, and better realize personal value. A win-win move, why not Why?" Yan Lide has never had any ill intentions towards Jiang Hu.
"Since Yan Qing said so, then set up a martial arts division in the Ministry of War. In the future, not only people from the Jianghu, but also masters from the folk, the military, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei can also work in the martial arts division. It is only open to the masters." The emperor ordered Well, Yan Lide is right, they are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to treat them differently, and the name does not need to be the "Jianghu Division" as they thought at the beginning. The Yanwu Division will be turned into a gathering place for masters of the Ming Dynasty.
"The department has been established. Where is the person in charge? Can Yan Qing have someone to recommend."
"What does Your Majesty think of Mao Ji?"
"Mao Ji is a literati, right? He doesn't know martial arts." The emperor was surprised. The management of the martial arts hall is full of masters. At least he must have the martial arts to shock the crowd, right?The emperor originally preferred Yan Lide to serve concurrently.
"Your Majesty, a person who is good at martial arts is not necessarily proficient in management. To be a chief official requires knowledge of people, ability to dispatch, communication, and coordination. A civil servant is enough. And the situation of the martial arts division is special, and the quality of the official system is set on two lines. One is management, the other is technology, full-time management of an official, the technology is similar to the elders of the Jianghu sect, who is responsible for instructing the younger generation in martial arts, and maintaining the prestige of the martial arts division. Mao Ji and Zhang Fan just complement each other." Yan Lide explained in detail, see Qing Dynasty. Shangshu's palm seal, Han Shangshu's work; refer to the classification of our party's business departments, professional and technical positions, and management personnel.
"It's feasible, and you still have full power to handle this matter." The emperor said loudly, the seeds planted by his father finally blossomed and borne fruit in his hands.
After Yan Lide returned to the court, Jiao Fang, Wang Jia, and Liu Yu were all demoted from the cabinet. Wang Jia and Liu Yu were exiled.At the same time, Xie Qian resigned.
Behind Heihutang is the support of Jiao Fang, Wang Jia, and Liu Yu, and Liu Yu has always supported and supported Xie Qian. Xie Qian didn't know it, and still "believes that Liu Yu is a human being" and played a cover for their small group.The emperor gave Xie Qian face, but he didn't deal with it, but Xie Qian didn't dare to stand in the court hall all the time, and took the initiative to resign.
In this way, Yan Lide rose four positions in the order of the cabinet, ranking seventh.But it is still the last one. When the emperor was newly enthroned, he added to the cabinet on a large scale for the purpose of decentralizing power. Now that the power of the imperial court is in the hands of the emperor, the cabinet is not so cheap.
The Yanwu Division was successfully established, and the first order received by the newly appointed partners Mao Ji and Zhang Fan was to thoroughly investigate the Taiping Palace.
