Chapter 121: The Struggle for the Head
Wuji thought for a while, and told Liu Siyong that he didn't know about it, but there was no actual evidence, but he had heard about it, and if he made trouble with the imperial court, it would be bad if he wronged his own nephew at that time, but Wuji continued, it's better not to believe it.
After saying this to his master and nephew, Wuji continued to tell Liu Siyong that he was a disciple, although he had no ability, he was loyal and honest, and he handed it over to him, although he would not be popular, but he could also be quiet and inactive, so as not to regret the ancestors of the past dynasties.
Liu Siyong continued to be noncommittal and talked with Wuji. He heard Zhao Jia say that Wuji was the first sword master in Qingzhang, but now that he saw Wuji's performance, he was a little suspicious.
Liu Siyong talked for a while, and then pulled Wuji to compare the sword, Wuji said that he didn't dare, Liu Siyong persuaded him, and Wuji agreed.
When they arrived in the courtyard, when Wuji held the wooden sword, suddenly his whole body straightened, and his eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes, staring at the tip of Liu Siyong's sword.
Liu Siyong used the Mingxin Sword Technique, and before this move was used, he was picked up by Wuji with the wooden sword.
Liu Siyong stopped Zhao Jia and the others, picked up the sword himself, and tried to compete with Wuji.
But it's basically one move, and if you're lucky, you can hold on to two moves.
When Liu Siyong was tired and not comparable, after Wuji put down his sword, he looked respectful again.
Liu Siyong asked: "Dao Chief, your swordsmanship is really powerful, I don't know if you can give me a point or two." ”
"Lin Gongzi is polite, the gist of this sword technique is all above the Ding Jie Niu, Lin Gongzi, the poor Dao said to you, he is strong by him, but the breeze blows the mountain, and the bright moon shines on the river."
Liu Siyong nodded as if he didn't understand, and then Wuji continued to talk about the three levels of Ku Ding's solution to the cow, one is the incomplete, the other is the easy, and the other is stunned. If Liu Siyong can understand these three meanings, then he can naturally become the number one swordsman in the world.
Liu Siyong saw that Wuji was talking too mysterious, so he asked Wuji to speak more bluntly, and Wuji was not easy to say, so he could only say his feelings.
After resting, after lunch, Liu Siyong continued to compete with Wuji, and in the competition, Liu Siyong seemed to have figured out a little way.
Liu Siyong discussed until the evening, and when someone came to visit, they were all blocked by Zhao Jia.
Liu Siyong asked Wuji to continue to come the next day, and Wuji naturally agreed.
Before resting at night, Le Yao appeared, and Liu Siyong said to Le Yao: "If you want to achieve great things, you must be calm, what if you run to my room at every turn like this, and let others suspect?" ”
"Brother-in-law, do you think they don't know? They still wish that I could follow you, the prince, and when the time comes, Qingzhang will also have a backer, and he will go to Yuehua Mansion to preach and accept apprentices, and he will have a boost. ”
When Liu Siyong heard this, Le Yao said, "So what are you doing this time?" ”
"I'm going to tell my brother-in-law that this time there will be a court envoy coming here with the decree of the master of the sect, and when the time comes, the head of the sect will be elected, just fill in the name on it, and this will be done."
"So what do you want me to do first?"
"Brother-in-law, when the messenger arrives, you fill in Li Kui's name on it, and at that time, even if there is any accident, there is no need to worry. They will only think that this is hand-picked by the imperial court, and dare not say anything more. ”
When Liu Siyong heard this idea, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Le Yao: "You all know that I am a fake, how can I deceive the angels?" ”
"The angel may not know that you are real, brother-in-law, this is already for the mountain now, so I will send you this time."
"Let's talk about it."
Le Yao left with a smile, thinking that Liu Siyong had agreed, but Liu Siyong was unwilling to agree.
Until August 14, Liu Siyong was practicing swords with Wuji.
On the fourteenth day, Le Yao came to look for him in person, Zhao Jia and they didn't dare to stop him, Le Yao saw Liu Siyong and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, the envoy of the imperial court is here, and the head of the house is welcoming them up the mountain." ”
Liu Siyong nodded, waited in front of the main hall, and when the envoy arrived, there was no help to introduce him, and the two messengers heard Liu Siyong's name, and saluted Liu Siyong and said, "Master Lin, it's polite." ”
"No need to be polite, two adults, please."
Liu Siyong moved forward with them, only to know that these two were officials of the Heavenly Ministry, but they still had to join the company, and they would not have positions until they completed the task this time.
This envoy is called Feng Baochen, the character Yuanzhen, and he also spoke along the way, and the deputy envoy has been silent.
This time, in order to avoid suspicion, Wuxiang took them directly to the guest room, and then retired after a few greetings.
After Feng Baochen and Liu Siyong exchanged a few words, Feng Baochen said to Liu Siyong: "The sage has a message. ”
Liu Siyong and the others knelt down, and then listened to Feng Baochen say: "Lin Quan, the scholar of Tiance Mansion, listens to the order, there is Wei rebellion in Xiangyun Mansion, I hope Qing can exterminate the rebels as soon as possible, and I will do my best." ”
After reading this message, Feng Baochen asked Liu Siyong to get up, and then said to Liu Siyong: "Lord Lin, the sage said that he is very satisfied with your performance in Xiangyun Mansion, and when you eradicate these traitors in Xiangyun Mansion, the imperial court will definitely not be stingy with rewards." ”
Liu Siyong said that he would definitely do his best to exterminate the traitors, but this group of rebels has not yet found traces, and even if he wants to encircle and suppress, he has nowhere to start.
At this time, Feng Baochen said: "Master Lin, you can be like Xiangyun Mansion, let the people from the rivers and lakes of Yi'an Mansion lead the way for you and find where Wei Wei is." ”
Liu Siyong said that the situation was different, the martial arts people in Xiangyun Mansion at that time, if they were all Yunrebellious, then they must have been wronged, but if they said that they were one-half, it must be less. And now Yi'an Mansion is different, these martial arts people in Yi'an Mansion dare not say that all of them are devoted to the imperial court, but nine times out of ten, if they knew, they would have told the imperial court a long time ago.
Feng Baochen only smiled, saying that he didn't care about this matter, so he didn't need to ask more, and he also wished Liu Siyong to eradicate Wei Wei in Xiangyun Mansion as soon as possible, and then go to the court to ask for credit.
Liu Siyong talked to him about the elegant things, and then took his leave.
When he returned to the mansion, Le Yao pulled him into the bedroom and said excitedly, "How are things going?" ”
"What's going on?"
"Brother-in-law, when is this, you are still joking with others."
"I haven't changed it, I haven't even seen the edict, how can I change it."
Le Yao's face sank, and she said unhappily: "Liu Siyong, have you really forgotten your identity?" ”
Liu Siyong's face also sank, and he said to Le Yao: "Miss Le, let me warn you, if you are mentioning those three words, then you don't want to leave here alive today." ”
Liu Siyong said, clapping his hands, and suddenly Zhao Jia and the others came in, looking at Le Yao with an unkind expression.
"Send this Daoist away."
"Dao Chief, please." Zhao Jia made a gesture of please, and Le Yao regained his original smile, but his eyes were cold, and he said to Liu Siyong, "Young Master Lin, then don't bother." I hope that in the future, Lin Gongzi will be able to be so blessed and rich. ”
Liu Siyong drank tea and ignored Le Yao's threat, after Le Yao left, Zhao Jia said to Liu Siyong: "Lin Gongzi, this woman is so unruly, pampered and coquettish, do your subordinates teach her a lesson." ”
"Don't worry about her, you go and check who came to watch the ceremony this time."
Zhao Jia nodded, and they came back in the evening to tell them, saying that there was nothing else to do to watch the ceremony this time, it was nothing more than martial arts people from several nearby provinces.
When Liu Siyong heard this, he was silent for a while, and asked Zhao Jia and them to go and rest first.
At noon the next day, Qingzhang rang the Qingyang Bell, which is rumored to be left by Laojun, and this Qingzhang Mountain is not knocked at ordinary times except for the head of the mountain to ascend the throne, or the head of the fairy.
Liu Siyong and the others also arrived in front of the Wanqing Hall when they heard the bell, at this time, in addition to the four elders around the head, there was also a middle-aged man, this middle-aged man had a heroic face, a pair of sword eyebrows accompanied by a square face, and a well-groomed beard, at a glance, he knew that he was a chivalrous hero.
Liu Siyong asked Zhao Jia, who was this person, and Zhao Jia said that this was a disciple of the Qingzhang layman, a disciple of the previous head, nicknamed Qingshan Swordsman.
Liu Siyong didn't ask much, and then Wuxiang stood up, and then said to the surroundings why he gave way, because he was now old and frail, and he no longer had the energy to manage the affairs of the door, so he gave up the position of head of the house.
The four elders either retained it with true feelings or pretendedly, everyone knew that this was a passing scene, and when the three let the three stay this set be done enough, the four elders finally understood the bitterness of giving way to Wuxiang, and they were not insisting on letting Wuxiang be in charge.
Then Wuxiang stood up and looked around, as if to say something, everyone present looked at the head of the house, and knew that the next head was going to be said, and they looked forward to looking at the head of the house.
However, the head of Wuxiang sighed, and then said to them: "Actually, the old man's concession is related to a past incident forty years ago. ”
Everyone couldn't help but be disappointed, thinking that at such an important time, since the head of Wuxiang said such an old thing, but the head of the head wanted to say it, they didn't dare to stop it.
Wuxiang then muttered, he said that there was a swordsman invited to visit at that time, and at that time, the first head received him, this swordsman came to ask for swordsmanship, and the first head was reluctant to do it at first, but because the swordsman was too aggressive, so the first head of the house did it.
The first head of the family alone couldn't defeat that person, and finally he and Wuxiang used the Mingxin swordsmanship to defeat the man, and the man was defeated, but he didn't think that the Mingxin swordsmanship was not unbreakable, so he said that if he didn't come to Qingzhang, then his own disciple would come.
Some smart people have already guessed the reason why Wuxiang said this. Sure enough, Wuxiang told them that after the beginning of this year, he received a letter saying that on the night of the full moon on August 15, he was going to break the Mingxin Sword Technique.
