The style is different [Comprehensive]

After Qingming, it's time for the vegetation to grow wildly on the island.

Most of the peach blossoms bloom overnight, and the pink, white and light green complement each other, which is extremely gorgeous.

Lin Chaoying's master and apprentice still live in seclusion, and A Fei has developed the habit of going to Lianhuan Island to find Jing Wuming to fight every day, and Wuming is busy dealing with new business after the beginning of spring.

Everyone was very busy, only Xie Linyun had nothing to do except wait for news.

Xie Linyun was waiting for two important news for Dongting, one was Huo Tianqing and the other was Yu Luocha.

The former took Dugu Qiubai to the south of the Yangtze River, while the latter was far away in the Western Regions, and neither of them could deliver the letter overnight.So she was also prepared to wait patiently for a month or so.

However, she never expected that there would be a piece of news that was as important as these two to arrive first——

King Taiping found out Ah Jiu's whereabouts, and was planning to go to Dongting to ask for him in person.

The messenger was a disciple of the beggar gang, saying that their young gang leader personally issued an order to report the news to Dongting immediately.

"Young Master Hong said that he heard this with his own ears in Prince Taiping's mansion." The Beggar Clan disciple who entered the lake to see him bent down and stood in front of Xie Linyun and Wuming, and said respectfully with lowered eyebrows, "He wanted to come to Yueyang in person. Tell the lake master, but when he heard the news, King Taiping was already ready to leave, and he had another appointment in the south of the Yangtze River, so he asked the disciples from all over the place to spread the letter, saying that it was faster than him going there himself. "

Wuming nodded again and again: "That's right, the speed of your Beggar Clan's message transmission is the best in the world."

Xie Linyun thought for a while, and then understood the key point.

Left and right are nothing more than the word "many people".

But why did Hong Qi go to Prince Taiping's mansion?

She was curious, so she asked out by the way.

Hearing this, the Beggar Sect disciple's face became stiff for a moment, and he said, "Young Master Hong...he said that the cooks in Prince Taiping's residence are not bad."

Xie Linyun: "..." The foodie spirit is really admirable.

She thought about it, and ordered someone to take the reward money and give it to this beggar gang disciple.

After the other party happily received the reward and left, she turned to Wuming and asked, "What do you think of this?"

Wuming: "Prince Taiping came to Dongting in person, he must have found enough reasons to take Master Ninth back, if the Lake Lord refuses to let..."

Xie Linyun raised his eyebrows: "How is he going?"

Wuming thought to himself how could I guess all of this, since I have never been to Prince Taiping's mansion, I know nothing about this prince.

But after all, it is not easy to say such slander directly, he can only say euphemistically: "I am not familiar with Taiping King's behavior, but people in the officialdom, especially if they are relatives of the emperor, I am afraid that they will not give in easily."

"Ajiu, I won't give in." Xie Linyun's tone was firm, "Don't talk about the prince, I can't even come here."

Wuming is not too surprising, this is Xie Linyun's style.

But as a qualified manager, he still couldn't help reminding her: "People in the imperial court do things differently from those in the Jianghu."

The implication of this is that to solve this matter, force alone may not be enough.

Xie Linyun: "He can't use the power to pressure me, can he?"

Nameless: "...It's not impossible, and no matter what, he is the biological father of Young Master Ninth."

Xie Linyun really wanted to say that she is not afraid, just a Taiping King, even if it is against the entire court, she doesn't care.

But in this way, Dongting immediately changed from an ordinary Jianghu force to a "thief gang".

She doesn't mind being a thief king, but she has to consider whether other people would mind being a thief under her hands, not to mention that she, the thief king, may not always be in Dongting in the future, and it is impossible to protect this place forever.

"How about this, you send someone to investigate this Taiping King first." Xie Linyun said, "It's best to find some sore feet before he arrives in Dongting."

Wuming was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting her to give such an order.

Xie Linyun couldn't wait for him to respond, so he couldn't help but look sideways at him: "Is it difficult to check?"

Before the next sentence came out, Wuming immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's not difficult to check, but time is a little tight."

Time is tight, and it is inevitable that you will have to pay more.

Fortunately, Xie Linyun didn't care about this, she just wanted to solve this matter in a way that would not affect the entire Dongting as much as possible.

Wuming got this order and started to do it quickly.

Xie Linyun believed in his ability in this area, so he didn't ask too much.

After about ten days of investigation like this, another thing she had been waiting for was also settled.

Someone from the Raksha Sect came, and Yu Luocha, the leader of the sect, personally brought them here.

Xie Linyun didn't think it was because of his brother-sister relationship with Mrs. Ouyang, there was probably something wrong, otherwise there was no need to make a special trip.

But when she asked straight to the point, Yu Luocha denied it.

"Everything is fine in the Western Regions." Yu Luocha said, "I just thought that all the things that should be taken care of have been taken care of, and I just received a letter from an old friend, so I came here."

Xie Linyun was speechless for a moment, and then said: "All right, as long as you take your sister and Ouyang Feng back together when you leave."

Yu Luocha pursed her lips, saying that the Lake Lord ordered him, how dare he not obey.

Although Xie Linyun is not a person who is very good at observing words and expressions, Yu Luocha has been looking at her playfully since entering the door. She is not blind, and she can see something wrong from his expression.

So after talking about the serious matter of picking up someone in a few sentences, she couldn't help but say: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't stare at me like that."

Yu Luocha immediately groaned, with a more meaningful expression, and said: "When I entered the customs, I happened to meet two people."

Xie Linyun: "Who?"

"One man and one woman." This pretense-addicted person still couldn't get rid of his habit of repeating tricks.

Xie Linyun didn't want to cooperate with him, so he didn't continue to ask, and just waited for him to speak.

She is so ignorant, Yu Luocha has no choice but to sigh and continue: "I happened to meet that girl, she is the younger sister of the leader of Mobei Demon Cult, her surname is Hua, her name is Baifeng."

When he mentioned Mobei, Xie Linyun finally had a reaction: "Is it the Demon Cult leader who sent the battle invitation to the Master of the Divine Sword Hall?"

Yu Luocha nodded, and immediately continued: "Hua Baifeng often goes to and from the Western Regions, so it's not uncommon for her to appear there, but I heard her call the man she was traveling with as 'Tianyu'."

Xie Linyun: "Huh?"

"They are very close." Yu Luocha added, "Hua Baifeng also assured him that with her, even if he loses to her brother, she will definitely plead for him."

"You mean, Bai Baiyu is dating the sister of his duel partner?"

Yu Luocha nodded again, saying that it should be, because he also heard Hua Baifeng say that unless her brother wanted to kill his future brother-in-law.

After hearing this, Xie Linyun couldn't help but sigh, "He's really capable."

"Aren't you angry?"

"Why do I..." In the middle of the rhetorical question, Xie Linyun finally came to his senses, "Wait, did you also believe the rumor that I have a crush on Bai Baiyu?"

Yu Luocha: "...the reputation of the Master of the Divine Sword Hall is known to everyone in the Jianghu."

Xie Linyun was silent for a moment, and finally realized that because of the operation before, her personality in the eyes of everyone in the martial arts world has been completely refreshed.

In the spirit of being able to explain one by one, she told Yu Luocha the whole story.

When Yu Luocha heard that it was Wuming's idea, she couldn't help but sneered and said: "He is really proficient in various methods."

"Speaking of which, I didn't seem to see him when I entered the lake today." Yu Luocha said again.

"He has been living on Lianhuan Island recently." Xie Linyun explained, "Junshan has a peach blossom array, so it is not convenient for too many outsiders to come to the island, and it is also not convenient for him to do things."

"Do something?" Yu Luocha keenly sensed that it should not be an ordinary thing, otherwise she wouldn't need to meet so many outsiders.

Xie Linyun thought for a while, and told about King Taiping's upcoming trip to Dongting.

Yu Luocha reacted quickly: "So Wuming is planning how to deal with King Taiping?"

"It can't be said to be a deal, but I mainly want to find out his details. If I can catch some of his painful feet, there will be more room for negotiation." She paused, "Unless it is in case, I don't want to directly talk to him. People in the court clashed."

Yu Luocha pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it is not difficult to negotiate with him, and there is no need to check his details and pull his painful feet."

Xie Linyun couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"King Taiping is the only vassal king who stays in the capital forever." Yu Luocha said, "Compared to other clan children who lived far away from Emperor Tiangao, his situation is actually a bit embarrassing."

"Didn't it say that he and the Son of Heaven have a compatriot with the same mother and have a very good relationship?"

"If the relationship is really good, there won't be only one title." Yu Luocha is actually very familiar with the affairs of the court, "The emperor must be worried about this brother who was as talented as himself when he was young, so he stayed in the capital. , so that he can only be an idle prince."

Xie Linyun thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Yu Luocha continued: "Since he is in an awkward situation, you can use his situation to negotiate with him."

King Taiping was in an embarrassing situation because the emperor was worried about him. The best way to alleviate this situation is to share the emperor's worries.

After the Jingkang Incident, the imperial court was forced to move its capital and gave up the former great rivers and mountains. It was the time when the national treasury was empty, and the border wars had never stopped. Now the imperial court lacks one thing most - money.

"You mean, you want me to pay the court for the war?" Xie Linyun paused, "Then let King Taiping take this matter back to claim credit from the emperor?"

"Yes." Yu Luocha nodded, "He will definitely agree."

"But the cost of fighting is so high, and it won't last long with all the power of Dongting." Xie Linyun said.

Yu Luocha laughed, and said, why do you have to devote all your strength to Dongting?

Xie Linyun: "???" Then where do I go to grab other people's money and give it to the court?

"The Lord of the Lake is No. 1 in the world." Yu Luocha said, "You come out and say a few words, and then come out with a small part. The famous families and sects in the martial arts will definitely respond immediately, for fear of being left behind. of."

What he said was full of ridicule towards those martial arts families, but what he said was very reasonable.

But Xie Linyun still didn't make up his mind immediately.

For such a big matter, she felt that it was necessary to ask Wuming to discuss it together.

In other words, compared to Yu Luocha who borrowed her name to do things on her own in the Western Regions, she still believes in Wuming who has done a lot of work for Dongting.

Seeing her hesitation, Yu Luocha also guessed her thoughts, and offered to say that they are here, and they still have to go to Lianhuan Island to see their old friends.

The two then boarded the boat to find Wuming.

In the past tense, Wuming happened to be meeting two subordinates who came to report the news.

Xie Linyun listened outside for a while, and found that Wuming's information about King Taiping was indeed similar to Yu Luocha's.

She couldn't help but looked at the person beside her, her eyes full of curiosity.

Yu Luocha didn't hide it either, and said bluntly: "I also raised some people in the south of the Yangtze River."

Without such complete preparations, he would not have had that level of confidence in the past, thinking that he would be able to unify the Western Regions, and then gather the entire Central Plains martial arts.

After the person who reported the news left, Xie Linyun and him went in to meet Wuming.

Wuming, as the chief executive, knew that Yu Luocha had arrived in Dongting. He was not surprised to see him at all, but he didn't show much enthusiasm until Xie Linyun opened his mouth and told him Yu Luocha's suggestion for King Taiping. .

"What do you think?" she asked at the end.

Wuming stroked his slightly long beard and pondered for a while, looking like he was thinking seriously.

After a long time, he raised his eyes and nodded, saying that it should be possible, but it is troublesome to negotiate with a person like King Taiping.

"The emperor's relatives are used to being superior. If we propose such a condition on our own initiative, he will easily push his nose and ask for more." After half a month of research, Wuming already has some understanding of how King Taiping behaves. .

Upon hearing this, Yu Luocha also nodded and said: "People like them really don't think much of people in the Jianghu."

Xie Linyun: "So what should we do?"

"No more negotiations, just drive the ducks to the shelves." Wuming said.

"That's right." Yu Luocha immediately understood, "He has to accept it."

Xie Linyun: "?" Don't you two talk so mysteriously?

Wuming's idea is very simple, instead of waiting until King Taiping arrives in Dongting to discuss this matter with him slowly, it is better to release the news now.

"The Beggar Clan is number one in the world." He paused, "We just need to ask the Beggar Clan to spread the news everywhere, especially near Lin'an. The news will do."

When the news spreads, the emperor will of course know.

Based on how worried he was about King Taiping, if King Taiping failed to invite the Lord of Dongting Lake to come forward as the rumors said, King Taiping's life would definitely become very sad.

Moreover, there is a time difference, to ensure that when the emperor knows, King Taiping is definitely not in the capital, and cannot immediately enter the palace to explain.

"By the way, the reason why he has the confidence to invite the Lake Lord to come forward is because his son worshiped under the Dongting Gate and became a closed disciple." Wuming added, "I checked, and he left the capital this time. It's an excuse to relax, and I didn't tell people with a lot of fanfare that I came to find my son."

Having said that, Xie Linyun understood what it meant to drive ducks to the shelves.

Because in this situation, King Taiping decided that he had no other choice. He could only accept the momentum created by Dongting and deal with the follow-up of this matter well, otherwise he, the prince, would end up as a prince.

And in this way, Dongting occupied the moral high ground. Even if King Taiping wanted to settle accounts with Dongting again in the future, he had to weigh the attitude of the emperor and the entire martial arts world.

The three of them discussed for a long time in the newly built building on Lianhuan Island. During this period, Yu Luocha and Wuming each contributed some detailed suggestions to complete the whole plan.

After it was perfected, that night, Wuming sent someone to invite the head of the Beggar Gang's branch in Yueyang.

With Hong Qi's relationship, the relationship between the Beggars' Clan and Dongting has always been good, and it is really easy for them to spread the news, and the sub-helmsman agreed with almost no hesitation.

As a token of gratitude, Xie Linyun also paid them a lot of money for breaking news, which made both parties happy.

Yu Luocha: "You are really generous. When you want to pay for the imperial court later, why don't you have to give away half of the Dongting?"

Xie Linyun hummed, saying that she had already prepared for the money, so she would not give away half of the Dongting.

"Does the Lake Lord still have a private treasury?" Yu Luocha asked jokingly.

"Where did I come to be so careless?" She was inherently unreliable, and immediately explained, "I made a bet in the gambling shop before, and when the result of Bai Baiyu's duel with the leader of the Demon Cult came out, I just donated the money I won."

Yu Luocha: "...Then what if he loses?"

Xie Linyun didn't hesitate: "The capital crime can avoid the life crime. If you want to pay the life crime, you will pay the money for Dongting."

Wuming was very pleased: "You are worthy of being the owner of the lake, you are so thoughtful."

Yu Luocha: "..." The Master of the Divine Sword Hall is so miserable.

……

The rainy season in Dongting, which started from the Qingming Festival, lasted for nearly a month. When the beginning of summer came, King Taiping finally arrived in Dongting, and the sky in Yueyang City temporarily cleared up.

Half a month was enough time for the beggar gang to spread those two news.

Therefore, when King Taiping arrived in Dongting, his complexion was really not good.

As a prince, it was probably the first time he was put in such a powerless position by a group of Jiang Hu people.

Accompanied by Wuming, Xie Linyun hosted a reception banquet to entertain him, with a very polite attitude.

After drinking for three rounds, King Taiping took the lead in expressing impatiently that he had already learned the lesson of Dongting's handiwork this time, and it can be said that he will never forget it.

"Really? That's really our honor." Xie Linyun said, "So, has your lord figured it out? Do you want to cooperate with us?"

"What is Master Xie talking about?" King Taiping looked at her and paused every word, "The whole world knows that I came here to persuade you to cooperate with the imperial court."

Xie Linyun pursed her lips, thinking that this is right.

The next moment, the prince who was an extremely human minister said again: "But before discussing the business, I have a merciless request."

Xie Linyun: "I'm all ears."

King Taiping said he wanted to meet his son first.

"I've been looking for him since he disappeared. Now that I know he's here, if I can't even meet him, how can I have the heart to talk about business?"

This request was not too much, Xie Linyun agreed, and gave Wuming a wink, asking him to pick Ah Jiu up in person.

I forgot to mention, because I have been teaching Ah Jiu the basic martial arts before, now in the entire Dongting, he is the closest to Ah Jiu, and he only needs to say "Master".

Wuming went to pick it up in person, of course Ah Jiu was very cooperative.

But when he saw King Taiping at the reception banquet, the child's complexion immediately sank.

King Taiping was very excited, stood up with a swipe, and was about to reach out to hug him, but unfortunately he couldn't hug him, and he avoided it.

King Taiping suddenly looked sad: "Ah Jiu, I am father, don't you recognize me?"

"I know." Ah Jiu, who has grown a lot after raising her body, answered quickly, but her tone was very blunt.

When father and son met, there was nothing but embarrassment.

King Taiping wiped his tears to express his father's love, but Ah Jiu was always on guard, unwilling to get close to his biological father.

To be honest, this scene is indeed a bit embarrassing.

At least Xie Linyun was really sorry, she also came here from childhood and knew the role of blood relationship.

Under such influence, Ah Jiu still behaved like this, which shows that he was really hurt by his family before he ran away from home.

After that, Wuming sent Ah Jiu back to Junshan, and only King Taiping and Xie Linyun were left at the banquet.

Seeing that King Taiping was so sad, Xie Linyun couldn't help but said: "The prince doesn't look like a father who doesn't care about the child at all, so why didn't you stop his mother from treating him like that when Ah Jiu was still in Prince Taiping's mansion? "

King Taiping took a sip of wine, sighed again, and said, "My wife is sick and can't control herself, and it's not easy for her."

"Every time after beating Ah Jiu, she is the saddest one. How can I be harsh on her?"

Xie Linyun was speechless, he had already beaten him, what's the use of being sad after the beating, isn't this King Taiping a little bit unclear!

"And when she was sober, she also taught Ah Jiu martial arts, I've seen it before."

"Bullshit teaching martial arts." Xie Linyun cursed, "She wants to make Ah Jiu fail to learn martial arts."

King Taiping was very puzzled: "Why did Master Xie make such a statement?"

Xie Linyun didn't bother to wonder if he was pretending or if he really didn't know, because she couldn't hold her breath when she thought of what happened to Ah Jiu.

She summed up Dr. Ximen's original diagnosis, and finally asked: "Give Ah Jiu that kind of medicine, not to make him unable to learn martial arts and resist, what else could it be?"

The most important thing is that Ah Jiu also suffered from stress disorder and mental trauma, which has not been fully recovered until now.

King Taiping seemed to be really unaware. Hearing the end, his whole face was filled with disbelief, and then he began to murmur that it was impossible.

Xie Linyun really couldn't hold back the knife: "Why is it impossible? Otherwise, with such a young child, why would the well-clothed palace not want to stay and run away from home?"

"Back when I rescued him on the boat, I asked him what his name was and where he lived, but he was unwilling to say anything because he was afraid that I would send him back to Prince Taiping's mansion?"

There may be a certain degree of misunderstanding, but Xie Linyun can make a quick decision as long as he thinks about Ah Jiu's tragic past when he fell ill. In any case, Ah Jiu cannot be allowed to go back when he can't resist his mother.

After hearing her words, King Taiping lost his mind and put the business aside, so that at the end of the banquet, he hardly expressed any attitude towards the "cooperation" between the two parties.

On the second day, he begged to see him again with blood red eyes, finally remembered this matter, and expressed that he would fully cooperate.

"As for Ah Jiu..." He paused, maybe he wanted to sigh, but he didn't sigh in the end, "If I hadn't thanked Lake Lord for saving me, I'm afraid I would never have seen this son again."

"There's nothing wrong with him staying in Dongting." Sensing King Taiping's retreat, Xie Linyun also slowed down his tone, "Wu Ming will teach him martial arts. With his talent and Wu Ming's teaching, he will never be taught by others again in the future." Bully."

Because a previously unexpected agreement was reached on this matter, King Taiping didn't mind being driven away so much.

It is true that Xie Linyun still doesn't like him, but it must be admitted that after the two sides negotiated clearly, this prince who was very famous when he was young is indeed a good partner.

She didn't feel bad about the money she was about to give to the court. After all, if it was a small matter, it would add a layer of security to Dongting, and if it was a big deal, it would be a contribution to the common people.

She thinks it's worth it.

In view of the fact that the beggar gang had already released some ambiguous news before this, not long after she announced that Dongting was willing to pay the imperial court a military salary of [-], all the famous martial arts sects responded one after another.

At this moment, news came from Jiangnan that the assassin organization Tsing Yi Lou had been smashed by Huo Tianqing, the second general manager of Dongting Lake.

Tsing Yi Building is dealing in human life, and has numerous enemies in Jianghu, but Huo Xiu is cautious and has many powerful killers under his command, so no one could deal with him before.

Now that Huo Tianqing has cleaned it up, he is really happy.

Suddenly, the reputation of the owner of Dongting Lake was pushed to the peak again.

Xie Linyun didn't care about this, and after donating the money and sending Queen Taiping away, he resumed his previous idle life, eating when he should eat, sleeping when he should sleep, and practicing guns when he should practice guns.

Just when she thought her life would continue in such a peaceful manner, the result of the decisive battle between the leader of the Demon Cult and the master of the Divine Sword Hall came from outside the pass.

Daytime Feather won.

This was actually expected by Xie Linyun. In her words, even a local bully who can only hang out in Mobei can't win, and Bai Tianyu doesn't need to hang out. Please leave the ranking of weapons.

But what she didn't expect was that more than three months had passed, and the people in Jianghu hadn't forgotten that scandal that was completely fabricated by Anonymous to deceive people!

Bai Baiyu's victory over the leader of the Demon Cult in Tianshan can all be attributed to her strong support.

And she was misunderstood by others to bet in the gambling house to support the scene before, and it was also rumored afterwards that she had a bright eye.

"God, I really regret it." She complained to Lin Chaoying, "I really shouldn't listen to Wuming, do you know what the outside world is saying now?"

"How do you say it?" Lin Chaoying didn't go out, and she didn't usually see those attendants who would go out, so she didn't know at all.

Xie Linyun supported his forehead, and said with a look of unrequited love: "They started to say that I and that kid Bai Baiyu are quite suitable, after all, beauty is only for the strong."

Lin Chaoying suppressed a smile and said thoughtfully: "After winning this battle, Hall Master Bai is indeed an undoubted strongman."

"No, I am the strong one." Xie Linyun corrected, "He is a beauty."

The author has something to say: I'm really sorry, I was seriously ill before, and it took so long to update.
