MTL - Zhui Xu-v6 Chapter 3 Dajiang Song Ba Ba U-Turn East (2)
In the distance of the city, commotion was ringing.
There was a little smoke and dust blowing in the field of vision.
On the corridor, I chatted with the "Runner King" Xu Zhaonan who was about to leave. When he walked into the courtyard, Wang Nanda saw his brother with his hands behind his back, looking out from the balcony, gazing at the chaotic place in the city.
"Brother." He saluted not far behind.
Lin Zongwu didn't look back. After a while, Wang Nanda heard him sigh slightly: "...life is suffering."
"Brother, why do you sigh like this?"
"Half a country, a land of thousands of miles, the situation is great." Lin Zongwu sighed, "Sometimes, they will fight again, and even I feel a little baffled."
There is quite a sense of embarrassment in the words of "terrorists like me don't understand what you think". .
Wang Nanda nodded, understanding.
"Xu Gong...have you talked about his thoughts with senior brother?"
"...He Wen is perverted, he deserves to be killed."
Hearing this sentence, Wang Nanda frowned: "Mr. Xu... let senior brother kill He Wen?"
"That's not the case." Lin Zongwu shook his head with a smile, "Zhaonan told me about some recent changes, King Ping's mind is unpredictable, he and the other three have already begun to deploy troops, and strive to do it within half a month. It’s good to prepare for a big battle. But the development of this matter is too direct, King Fairness almost admitted the matter of the study club, so unwise, it makes people feel that there will be a reversal behind the scenes... The younger brother is inquiring. What's the matter?"
Wang Nanda lowered his voice: "Apart from what King Pingping said that day, only the Monkey King has proved the presence of people from the Southwest, but this matter is still quite strange. The one who chased and killed Prince Pingping called himself Long Ao God, many members of the Monkey King's family were killed in Tongshan County. They said they came from the southwest, but there is actually no hard evidence. Moreover, the one who got involved with Long Aotian... the assassin who called himself Little Sage Qitian, heard It looks like... a nephew."
"Hmph." Lin Zongwu had a majestic expression, smiled a little strangely, and then said: "...you continue."
"This Long Aotian has a random temperament and lawlessness. Even if he really came from the Southwest, he might not be a member of the envoy. As for the situation where the Monkey King fought against another person from the Southwest that day, there is no other evidence. The Monkey King was beaten badly. Light, it is said that the opponent is practicing the Golden Bell Shade of the Thirteenth Taibao Henglian, and his appearance is similar to that of Hongti's disciple "Black Iron God" Qiu Shuyan, but for the time being, he has not seen this face like black charcoal and skill in other places. Information about the appearance of the powerful 'Black Iron God'."
"It's not that I haven't seen that kid in Luliang that day, but he's darker than others, and his face is as exaggerated as black charcoal. You can't find it if you look for it like this..." Lin Zongwu shook his head and smiled, "However, for the southwest Did the mission come, what do you think, Junior Brother?"
"...Although they are rivals, the fair party meeting in front of us is indeed a big event. In the past, it was said that He Wen and Ning Yi were at odds, and this meeting deliberately took advantage of the Southwest, so everyone thought that the Southwest was not good. He will send someone over, but now that he thinks about it, he has to admit that Ning Yi is a person who does great things, and it would not be surprising if he sent someone. But in my opinion, he may not choose He Wen to join forces."
"How did you see that?"
"People say that the clay bodhisattva has three points of anger, and Ning Yi is very angry."
Regarding Ning Yi's anger, Wang Nanda didn't talk about it, but for Lin Zongwu, he naturally understood. He put his hands behind his back and sighed.
"Wang Gong Hewen's attitude towards the book club is vague. Under normal circumstances, it would immediately cause the other four families to backlash. But because of a rumor from the southwest, the other families are now as frightened as birds. Using the method of suppressing the book clubs, temporarily put pressure on He Wen. Zhao Nanfang just came here, and what he is worried about is not only He Wen's private contact with Southwest, but also the people in Southwest contact, not just his family."
Wang Nanda frowned: "Gao Chang..."
"These days, everyone is saying that Gao Tianwang and Pingwang Wang are from the same line, and the other three families are from the same line. But think about it carefully, 'Yan Luo Wang' Zhou Shang is radical, but he opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut. Why didn't he come from the southwest? Not only does he dislike He Wen's restraint, he can't achieve great things, he even thinks that the southwest side is not thorough enough. According to Ning Yi's style, he may not have nothing to talk to. As for the king of equality, he manages business routes, and his materials Fengyu, if you open your mouth and shut your mouth, you are the second demon, if Ning Yi is really willing to talk to him, do you think he will get close to him?"
"But his son is..."
"These big men can hold back the death of their sons, let alone the loss of a hand. He is bluffing, and he came out to provoke trouble at the first time. Who can be sure of what kind of intentions he has? What if the four families join forces to fight against each other? Prince Gong, at the end of the day, two families will turn against each other, and the other two families will be divided up. Zhao Nanfang just came here, and that’s what I’m worried about.” Lin Zongwu paused slightly, “It’s such a good situation, thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, You suspect me and I suspect you...It really makes people feel, why bother?"
He is highly skilled in martial arts, almost number one in the world, but after entering the political arena, he has suffered repeated setbacks, and failed to cause much trouble in the Central Plains and Jin. When I came to Jiangnan this time, I was a little reserved at first, but then I realized the momentum of the Fair Party. In the past, people from the north moved to the south, and the essence of the world returned to the south of the Yangtze River. Although the mountains and rivers are broken, after the FAIR Party swept away, its power is still the well-deserved second in the world in the eyes of many people, and I don’t know how many people envy it.
Now that all parties in Jiangning and Ning are gathering, and the five systems are converging, seeing that the situation is very good, the fair party is full of future, who knows that when the end comes, the king of fairness will come up with such an incredible moth, pushing the whole fair party to the precipice of chaos side.
Even if there is any struggle, wouldn't it be good to do it after the merger is successful?
Lin Zongwu felt unlucky and sorry for it.
"Every family from outside, what is the current situation?"
"All parties are actively contacting each other, but some of them are acting strangely." Wang Nanda said, "For this conference, all forces in the world have arranged for their personnel, but the most powerful ones on the surface are nothing more than a few parties. Wu Qimei from Lin'an , Tie Yan came to beg the fair party to raise their hands, and they have been active for a while, but after the Jinlou incident, some people pointed their finger at them. The people of the envoy stayed away for a few days, but now there is no news. It is rumored in private that maybe they have already been killed."
Lin Zongwu nodded.
The small imperial court of Wu Qimei and Tie Yan was established with the support of the Jurchen East Route Army in the past, but now it is very pitiful, because both in terms of morality and strength, they have fallen into a situation where everyone is killed. The Fujian court in the southeast wants to kill him, Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei in the name of the Wu Dynasty want to kill him, and the southwest has already released rumors that they want to kill him. As for Zou Xu in the Central Plains and the daughters of Jin who seem to have nothing to do with it, if it is possible I don't mind killing them casually. After all, the small imperial court's reputation is already rotten by taking refuge in the Jurchen. Whoever kills it can gain a lot of reputation even if it has no real profit. Why not do it.
As for the fair party in the south of the Yangtze River, the first to bear the brunt of the land tyrants was the gang of gentry and landowners entrenched in Lin'an. On the contrary, the rational faction like He Wen and the resource faction like Shi Baofeng called for rules to be followed, and those who were lenient towards those who voluntarily reformed and those who had no serious evil, gave them a glimmer of hope, so they came here during the conference. As long as they were willing to accept them, they lobbied everywhere. At the beginning, they went to the door of many people and even sent a lot of gold and silver.
It was just that after the assassination in Jinlou, Liu Guangshi's envoy was killed, and some people said in private that in today's Jiangning City, the one who is most afraid of the merger of the Fair Party is the small court of Lin'an who bears the brunt of it. Monk Tunyun, the tycoon of the green forest in the past, vaguely seemed to have been hired by Wu Qimei and Tie Yan when this monk Tunyun ravaged the south of the Yangtze River.
The envoys sent by Wu and Tie naturally tried to defend themselves, but when they couldn't find the real culprit, the atmosphere in the city was like "everyone has already decided", "Anyway, saying you are a bad person is not wronging you." Propensity. As a result, the envoy moved overnight to avoid it. I don't know where he hid, and he still hasn't shown up until now.
"...The mission of the little emperor in the southeast is now led by Zuo Xiuquan of the Zuo family. They have been very low-key for a while, but in the past few days, they have been secretly connecting with people. We have inquired in private, and for the time being It is not yet clear who they will put their chips on, but it seems initially that He Wen and Zhou Shang will be out first. For the southeastern player, these two will be too determined, and once they get out of Fujian, they will encounter The Fairness Party, so it is not a good choice to form an alliance with these two even for a short time, now it seems that they are the closest to King Gao Tian, but it is not impossible to talk with King Equality or us."
When Wang Nanda said this, he lowered his voice: "I heard that Mr. Xu has sent someone over to invite him."
"The Zuo family's status is superior, and the relationship with Southwest is also very good." Lin Zongwu smiled, "If the other party is willing to cooperate, maybe they know a thing or two about Southwest."
Wang Nanda nodded: "Besides, the envoys sent by Duke Liu and Duke Dai are quite interesting. After Gu'anhe was assassinated, the envoy's responsibility fell to the Monkey King. Brother knows that the Monkey King is quite ambitious. Recently, negotiating on behalf of Liu Gong and Xu Gong should have brought him a lot of benefits in private. But besides the Monkey King, there is another deputy envoy of this mission, who also did a good job, which makes the situation a bit intriguing. "
Lin Zongwu thought for a while: "Lu Zhongming?"
"It's Duke Dai's disciple." Wang Nanda said, "Grand Liu and Duke Dai form an alliance. On the surface, Duke Liu is the leader of everything, but Duke Dai also has a lot of prestige. Lu Zhongming came here as a deputy envoy. At the beginning, I didn't talk much with people about other things, but I just focused on promoting the plan of the "Chinese Martial Arts Association" to people, and made a lot of promises with everyone, saying that as long as Dai Gong enters Bianliang one day, the Chinese Martial Arts Association will be successful. If it is established, what he promised to everyone will be fulfilled. For this matter, he also asked his senior brother."
Lin Zongwu nodded: "Dai Gong is a man of profound virtue, and Lu Zhongming is also quite polite. He brought a letter and said that if the great event can be achieved, he hopes that I will become the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. If I don't want to be the president, You can have the titles of Supreme Elder and Honorary President. This is a great event that is beneficial to martial arts, so I agreed to him casually. Lu Zhongming has a sense of propriety, and has not used my name to promote it everywhere since then. , I appreciate it a little."
Wang Nanda said: "After the death of Gu'anhe, the Monkey King confirmed his alliance with Duke Xu, and Lu Zhongming is still lobbying everywhere to promote the plan of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. In recent days, many people have regarded it as Duke Xu's. Representative, I had a lot of cooperation with him in private...Of course, these things are true or not, and there is no conclusion yet, but after talking with the Monkey King, Mr. Xu also met Lu Zhongming twice in private, which is a bit like a latecomer gone."
"Combining vertically and horizontally, even the Southwest and the Jurchens are under his control. Dai Mengwei is not easy. The disciples he sent should not be underestimated."
"As for the other two, the mission sent by Lou Shuwan was led by that little friend An Xifu. He was hunted down by Mr. Xu and Zhou Shang some time ago, and now there is no news. The relationship between Jindi and Southwest Qian, if he can catch this person, maybe he can also ask about the situation in Southwest... As for the other side, it is said that Zou Xu also sent a team of envoys, and he may have contacted Mr. After the word got out, this group of people has completely disappeared, in our opinion, they must be afraid of being revenged by people from the southwest."
"Send people and try to find the group of people sent by Zou Xu." Hearing Wang Nanda's words, Lin Zongwu said, "Zou Xu knows the details of Southwest China best. If possible, drag him to We are here, as for the safety issue, I am willing to give them a guarantee. Even if I need to take action, it doesn't matter."
"Yes." Wang Nanda nodded and said, "Now that the Southwest name has come out, everyone on Zou Xu's side has also sent people to look for it. As long as we let the wind out, I believe there will be results soon."
"As for An Xifu..." Lin Zongwu pondered for a moment, then sighed slightly, "Let them go... There are not many old Manichaeists left now. Xiao An is Fang Baihua's disciple, but Fang Baihua is dead. He followed Wang Yin in Jin all these years...it wasn't easy. Back then when we fought against the Jin side by side in Jin, there was no grievance between Wang Yin and me. If you can see him, you can bring him to meet me."
The smoke and dust in the city floated in the autumn sun, and Lin Zongwu's huge body seemed to become peaceful amidst his sighs. Wang Nanda could understand his mood and nodded.
In fact, Lin Zongwu and Wang Yinben had a chance to repair it when they pulled together a team in Jindi to fight against the gold. It made him look down on Wang Juyun's ragged and incomplete "disorderly master", and the two sides had a tacit understanding without talking to each other.
Not long after, he failed to fight against the gold, and thinking about it carefully, he felt that the chaos of the teacher was quite desirable, but at that time, it was not easy for him to visit Wang Yin to reminisce... These things are simple to say, but there are complicated reasons behind them For example, the female photoshop Lou Shuwan, at that time there was a hint of provoking trouble, and several times it seemed to make peace, but in fact it had the opposite effect. He didn't bother to think about it any longer. If he really wanted to say it, the political field was too sinister and people's hearts were filthy. nausea.
When the brothers and sisters talked about this matter, the topic became a little more relaxed. Over the past month. The various delegations in the city are collaborating in private and making friends everywhere, but as long as they have the right to choose, they still have some thoughts of waiting for a price. Even the five parties of the Fair Party are not eager to make friends with them. A certain family negotiated an agreement - this is because according to the predetermined procedure, the five parties of the Fair Party will unite, and the rest of the families are all in the nature of coming to hug their thighs.
However, as soon as He Wen's brain-twitching behavior came out, although Shi Baofeng, Xu Zhaonan and others were still unable to determine his purpose, if he was not careful, the Fair Party Conference became a situation where at least one or two people were cleaned up. Under such circumstances, it became important for every major foreign force to stand in line, and every household seemed to sound the horn, and went outside to attract people. Once there is a real fight, no matter whether He Wen has more plots or not, it is always right to be strong.
After chatting a few more words about the attitudes of the various families in the city, Wang Nanda hesitated to speak: "Actually...brother..."
"Um?"
"Should I intervene in the matter of my nephew? My idea is, let him come back..."
"Oh why?"
"The young man who acted together with Long Aotian, who claimed to be the 'Leader of the Martial Arts', was somewhat similar to his nephew. He was probably the one who called himself 'Little Sage Equaling Heaven' Sun Wukong, but... this..."
Lin Zongwu looked at him.
Wang Nanda hesitated for a moment: "Green Forest also gave them nicknames, one is the five-foot Y demon, and the other is four-foot... the four-foot one is the nephew..."
Lin Zongwu looked at him, and let go of the hands on his back.
"These rumors in the green forest have been destroyed, and the nephew here, I don't know..."
"Puff-haha..."
Lin Zongwu laughed, and the laughter could only be heard echoing in the courtyard, gradually covering half of the new Tiger Palace with the swaying of internal force.
"Hahahahahaha…"
The laughter came suddenly, and those who heard it from far and near in the palace were all overwhelmed by the internal force, but Lin Zongwu smiled freely, without any other emotions, and most of the people guessed that something good happened.
Wang Nanda, who was nearby, was stunned at first, then a little helpless, he said: "Senior brother..."
Lin Zongwu's laughter stopped slowly, and he said, "Let's talk."
"ah?"
"Since he has earned the title of a four-foot demon, what kind of shameless deeds did he do? Please tell me in detail. I want to hear it."
Wang Nanda sighed: "It's just that he doesn't have Y behavior. I heard that he was led badly by the five-foot Y demon..."
"Since it's broken, there must be line Y, this is interesting, please tell me in detail..."
"It's not bad, it's implicated—involved!" Wang Nanda couldn't laugh or cry, "Brother, don't think it's funny. Young people walk in the rivers and lakes, and their reputation is very important. If their reputation is really tarnished, they will not be able to return in the future..."
Lin Zongwu laughed again, and after a while, he said: "The young man walks in the green forest. I am only worried that he has experienced too little and his life is not exciting enough. Although Jiangning is chaotic, Ping'an's temperament is too peaceful. In my original In the imagination, I was afraid that he would beg for alms every day, hiding in the dark and not daring to cause trouble. Now it seems that the four-foot Y demon, this level of splendor, far exceeds my expectations."
He paused slightly: "Maliciousness, slander, stigma, lies, deceit, rivals, fights... where in this world are there no such things? People who have lived through these things several times and are still alive are outstanding people. Can we The only thing that teaches peace is martial arts, the tribulations in the rivers and lakes, if he doesn't break through today, you and I will be gone in the future, can he still avoid it? The five-foot Y demon... Oh, I have an impression of this name. I was in Tongshan that day, and He was the one who made the monkey king. On the night of the Golden Tower, the monkey king fought with people, and he looked embarrassed. Our 'four-foot Y demon' was in..."
Wang Nanda sighed again: "Looking back, it was these two children who were chased and killed by the Monkey King and that Jin Yongsheng, but it's a bit embarrassing to explain this clearly, Li and Jin both felt a little bit about this fight. The words were vague, but on the surface, they pointed the finger at Meng Zhuotao and took advantage of it."
"Hahahahahaha..." Lin Zongwu burst out laughing, "Look, if you match up with Li Yanfeng and Jin Yongsheng, two famous masters, you can run away in the end. Turn around, these two assassinated Bao Bao at that time on the long street. Mr. Feng, what is his name... Whatever you want, you can still walk away after being assassinated. Such skill, such majesty, is worthy of being my disciple of Lin Zongwu, junior brother, how can you not laugh at it. If I , that surnamed Shi is dead, I want to kill him again, hahahaha, good! Awesome!"
Lin Zongwu smiled boldly and happily, and when he said that his robe sleeves fluttered later, he seemed to have the urge to kill Shi Weiyang for his apprentice, and he didn't bother to think about whether he and Shi Baofeng were allies.
"Now that you know the whereabouts of Ping An, you, uncle, should pay more attention to the affairs of your nephew. I am now a clay sculpture Bodhisattva in this new Tiger Palace, and I have some private matters, so I don't want to inquire about them myself..." Lin Zongwu smiled and lowered his voice, "Go and find out, and find out how this four-foot Y demon got its reputation. It must be interesting to think about it. And you see, why is he a four-foot Y demon? Six feet... Even if you are a demon, you have to follow other people's buttocks. In the future, you will say the name of the elder, you and I are really ashamed, our disciples, we should be six feet..."
Wang Nanda knew that he was joking, and sighed again: "The five-foot demon is said to be from the southwest. After all, we and the southwest have a mortal enmity."
"The grievances of the elders, to the next generation, there is no need to talk about it again." Lin Zongwu said, "Let him choose the road to safety in the future."
After a while, he laughed again: "Quickly go and inquire, I'm waiting to hear about the evil deeds of this demon Y."
Wang Nanda looked at him a few times, finally nodded and turned to leave. But after walking a few steps, he turned around again.
His face became serious: "Brother, there is one more thing, I..."
"explain."
"...That day when the Equality Party swept across the south of the Yangtze River, killing the gentry and dividing the land, Mr. Xu and the King of Equality took up the title of righteousness. Therefore, at his request, I entrusted me to go north and beg you to come out of the mountain. This time, of course, it is the King of Equality. People's temperament is unpredictable, and they act perversely, but if the entire fair party is really in conflict, and the righteousness on Mr. Xu's side is hard to survive...Senior brother, it's okay for us to leave or help the party that has a reputation for righteousness..."
Wang Nanda and Lin Zongwu have spent most of their lives together, and they are very clear about the pursuit and obsession of this senior brother in his life. Although he also worked for a rich family and had to be displaced, he actually attached great importance to his own reputation, and he often acted according to his teacher's reputation.
When dealing with Fang La, the starting point was revenge; when killing Qin Yuyuan, he was also talking about killing traitors and killing thieves for the country, but the black flag has become stronger over the years, and Qin Yuyuan was gradually "whitewashed" by Na Ning Yi; During the years of "First", he has always been respectful and corporal to the best of his ability; even in Jindi, his only choice of position has always been to resist gold. Generally speaking, senior brother hopes to be praised by others in his life.
This time, the FAIR Party's occupation itself is righteous, but if the FAIR Party is really infighting right now, what the "Running Wheel King" Xu Zhaonan has occupied, then it's hard to say, maybe it's just a mere rebellious cult? At that point, he knew that his senior brother would definitely feel very uncomfortable staying here, so after much deliberation, he finally decided to say these words.
Lin Zongwu was slightly taken aback, then laughed.
"There will be a way."
He waved his hand: "Let's go and find out."
Wang Nanda nodded, turned around and left.
After Wang Nanda left, Lin Zongwu turned his head again and looked at the beacon smoke in the city with his hands behind his back.
The riots caused by the hunting and killing of members of the reading club were spreading in Jiangning City. At this time, similar chaos was actually spreading across the entire Jiangnan land.
UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has issued orders from the four powers of the "King of the Wheel", "King of Equality", "King of Yama" and even "King Gao Tian" to clean up the members of the reading club, to varying degrees. It is important, but they have already made clear their position at the first time. This is the first round of pressure on the "King of Fairness" He Wen and the Reading Club.
The wooing of various forces and urgent discussions in private have also started in two or three days. Of course, it is not so easy to establish consensus and mutual trust. It is impossible for orders to be issued across thousands of miles in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the subsequent army mobilization and personnel changes to be in place quickly. If the Fair Party is regarded as a team, it will take up to ten days and half a month to complete the overall turn of each giant.
There was an uproar in the city.
At the moment when Lin Zongwu was watching the beacon smoke in the New Tiger Palace, at the other end of the city, after having a thorough conversation with He Wen, Gao Chang and Gao Tianwang met with Zuo Xiu who represented the southeast more formally and secretly. right.
The room located on a high place can also see the chaos in the city. After Gao Chang made the tea roughly, Zuo Xiuquan grabbed the tea cup and started to speak slowly after making the tea again.
"...This time in Jiangning City, there are three missions, which are the most special, because only these three have the status of righteousness. Whether King Gao Tian wants it or not, you have to choose one to cooperate..."
