Yang Fan smiled and said, "Hehe, the junior brother is the master of this manifest sect, but it is actually just a coincidence. As far as Brother Shen is concerned, maybe congratulations, if it is gratifying, is this true? ”

Shen Mu nodded solemnly, and said with a serious face: "Seriously, this is Shen's heartfelt words, and there is absolutely no half-word falsehood." ”

Yang Fan stared at him for a long time, nodded lightly and said: "In the past three years, Brother Shen has not been in Silla, if I am not mistaken, Brother Shen should have been back for a year, but it is a pity that the news of the younger brother is closed, and he knows nothing about it, otherwise, I am glad to hear that Brother Shen has returned far away, and the younger brother will also feel gratifying." Now ......, the little brother is sick and weak, and it is a pity that Brother Shen came to visit. ”

As soon as the two met, there was a bit of a verbal argument, Cui Lin listened like a pins and needles, he sometimes gave Shen Mu a look, and sometimes gave Yang Fan a flying look, for fear that the master of the two sects would not agree with each other, and he would fight again.

He came today, although he was the representative of the family and the mediator of the two sects, but his identity and qualifications were not enough, and his authority was not as heavy as the two of them, so he could only be tactfully reminded and appeased, if he directly acted as a referee, he was not qualified enough, unless the lord of the seven great families came forward.

Listening to Yang Fan's words, Shen Mu sighed deeply and said: "Erlang is afraid that he has a grudge against me, I know, with the friendship between you and me, as soon as I come back, my brother should come to visit you, Erlang is the master of the Xian Sect, based on the relationship between the two sects of Xian and Yin, I should discuss more with Erlang for my brother." However, people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves. ”

Yang Fan also sighed, and nodded with deep sympathy: "Yes, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves, the younger brother doesn't know much about this sentence, but now that he is the sect master of this prominent sect, he understands the truth of living in his position and seeking his own government." Sometimes you really can't help but like it. Therefore, the younger brother understands Brother Shen's distress very well, so he has nothing to complain about. ”

Shen Mu looked at Yang Fan and said with a smile: "Is Erlang's words true?" ”

Yang Fan nodded solemnly and said with a serious face: "Seriously, this is Yang's heartfelt words, and there is absolutely no half-word falsehood!" ”

This sentence was exactly what Shen Mu had just said, and when the two of them looked at each other, they suddenly laughed in unison.

Gu Zhuting stood to the side, listening intently to the words of the great sect masters of the two hidden sects. His gaze only stayed on Yang Fan's body, and a strange look flashed in his bright and clear eyes from time to time: "Ah Lang looks good when he is serious, but when he pretends to be ...... It looks so close! ”

In Cui Lin's eyes, the words of the two were all fake clichés, and he coughed impatiently. said: "If the two can understand each other, the armor will rest the army." That's fine. Both of them are the masters of one sect. There is nothing wrong with planning for the sake of the sect.

However, now the dispute between the two of you has not only hurt the interests of the two sects themselves, but also the interests of the major families. The elders hope that you can be considerate of each other, negotiate and resolve any problems, and reach a settlement and resolve disputes as soon as possible. Don't go around in circles, you might as well talk openly and honestly. ”

Yang Fan and Shen Mu were originally talking and laughing Yan Yan, but people who didn't know what happened between the two couldn't understand the fight between them at all. It looked like the two of them were like a pair of old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, but as soon as Cui Lin finished saying this, Yang Fan and Shen Fan's faces changed almost at the same time.

Shen Mu sat up straight, Yang Fan also sat up straight, and the light smile on the faces of the two disappeared at the same time, replaced by a solemn appearance.

Shen Mu said solemnly: "In private, Erlang and I can be regarded as confidants and friends, but after all, you and I each have a group of brothers to follow and beg for a living, if you abolish the public because of private affairs, it will be inappropriate." Therefore, for the sake of the sake of this sect, there are some things that we still have to explain clearly.

No matter how we fight, after all, we are all a family, and it doesn't matter how our own family fights, Erlang, it will be inappropriate for you to borrow the shili of the official family. The road is sinister, some things can be put on the table to say, and some things can only be put off the stage, there are too many variables, it is easy to get out of control, and when the time comes, it will inevitably harm others and yourself! ”

Yang Fan said: "The first half of Brother Shen's sentence is very much in line with the younger brother's meaning, but the second half of the sentence is not very popular. Originally, if it weren't for Brother Shen defeating Jiang Gongzi, the younger brother and I would not have been able to become the master of the Xianzong no matter what. However, now that I have become the master of the sutra, naturally I can't abolish the public because of my own selfishness, so I should say a few fair words for the sutra.

Brother Shen defeated Jiang Gongzi in Chang'an in the first battle, didn't he borrow the power of officialdom? If not, then what does the younger brother do today have to do with Brother Shen? The treatment of corrupt officials in the court is to eliminate silverfish for the country and eliminate great harm for the people, the heavens are fair, and the legal principles are clear, why did you implicate Brother Shen?

If those corrupt officials embezzled grain and grass and had nothing to do with the Hidden Sect, then how could I have ever acted against your Hidden Sect? If there is a great deal of relationship between you, then it is your Yin Sect that took the lead in borrowing the power of the official, and it was you who broke the rules first, but Brother Shen borrowed the power, and the younger brother borrowed the law, is there any difference? ”

The two of them are like litigants in court, their eyes are like eagles, they tightly intimidate each other, and as soon as they open their mouths, they are full of gunpowder, Cui Lin is very uneasy in his heart: "With these two people looking like now, can they really talk about peace today?" He had quite high expectations for today's meeting, but now he was a little uncertain.

The ancient girl who has just evolved from unrequited love to a state of love is currently in the "period", her man, not the advantages will be regarded as advantages, and the advantages will be infinitely magnified, so she only listened to her heart: "Ah Lang is not only good-looking, but also very eloquent!" ”

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "Of course there is a difference. I borrowed the power of the hidden sect, and I borrowed the power of an official, and you borrowed the law, and borrowed the law of a country. The power of one person extends to one person only. The law of a country inevitably harms the innocent. Do you know that many of the Liliang families who did not provide much help to my Yin Sect at the beginning also suffered unjustified disasters because of the Yanzhou case.

This incident has made such a fuss today, and it has caused displeasure among the lords, and it can be said that it is all caused by the wanton behavior of your sutras. Erlang, being a man is a lifelong thing, being an official is only a matter for a while, you don't want to put the cart before the horse, you can't do it when you get an official to Zuihou, and you can't even do it! ”

Yang Fan said: "What Brother Shen said is a disaster, and the younger brother does not dare to agree. Those people are implicated, but it is not unjustified, and if they are not guilty, how can they be implicated? Since he is guilty, he will not happen today, and he will not happen tomorrow? Who can plug the big hole that you poked when the corrupt officials in Yanzhou poked?

Once this matter is known to the imperial court, sooner or later it will be a catastrophe, and at that time, the major families will rely on these officials to send many elite children into the officialdom, and if these children are implicated because of these officials, it will be an irreparable catastrophe.

Now that the incident has happened, it may be unfavorable to various families in the short term, but it may not be a good thing in the long run, lest a scabies ringworm become a disease of the heart! Besides, your accusations against me are unreasonable, and this matter has nothing to do with my hidden sect. I have already told Boru that Yang just took advantage of it at the right time and made use of it slightly. ”

Shen Mu sneered: "In this way, Erlang, not only do you have no fault, but you have meritorious?" ”

Yang Fan bowed his head and said, "That's exactly what my little brother thinks. ”

Cui Lin couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, let's invite the two of you to sit together today, but it's not for the two of you to argue about who is right and who is wrong." No matter who is right or wrong, we all hope that this matter will stop immediately, otherwise the liliang that the Seven Great Families have cultivated in the officialdom for many years is afraid that most of it will be lost in the next great purge of the imperial court. ”

Cui Lin said bitterly: "Ten years after the founding of the country, the political situation in Luoyang is turbulent, the court is full of bloody storms, and there is almost no peace. ”

Yang Fan and Shen Mu glanced at each other, lowered their eyes at the same time, thought quietly for a moment, suddenly raised their eyes, and said in unison: "We ......"

The two stopped abruptly, paused, and said in unison: "You speak first." ”

Cui Lin stroked his forehead with his hand and said, "Brother Shen is a few years older, so please ask Brother Shen to say it first." ”

Shen Mu said: "Okay! Then I'll put forward our conditions first. Since its establishment, Jihedo has been honored by the Emperor of the Throne. But over the years, my Hidden Sect has proven that its ability is superior to that of the Sutra Sect, and if we are in charge, we can run the Succession Hall better. The capable are up, the mediocre are let go, and the mediocre are down, and the heir hall should be the master of my hidden sect in the future. ”

Yang Fan sneered: "Ridiculous! ”

He glanced at Cui Lin and said, "Chicken head or phoenix tail, if it is Boru, which one will you choose?" ”

Cui Lin didn't know why he brought up this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he thought: "How can you be your own master after condescending to others, you should ...... Choose the chicken head. ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said, "I thought that I should choose the phoenix tail." ”

Cui Linqi said: "What is Erlang's opinion? ”

Yang Fan said: "Choosing the chicken head, you can indeed get ahead immediately, but your vision will always be so far, and your status will only be so high." A chicken is a chicken, and the highest thing that flies is only standing on the woodpile. But what about the phoenix, the phoenix soars above the nine heavens, how vast the world is, if you want to have great achievements and seek great long-term, even if you succumb to the tail of the phoenix, it is thousands of times higher than the head of the chicken! ”

Cui Lin vaguely understood what Yang Fan meant, and asked tentatively, "What does Erlang mean?" ”

Yang Fan said: "My Xianzong not only has innate benefits, but also my Xianzong obviously occupies the greatest advantage in the officialdom. Whether the patriarchs of all generations want the family to continue to stand tall for thousands of years without falling, or want their children to get ahead and prosper, or run agricultural businesses, if there are people in the officialdom to take care of it, it can be imagined how great its role is.

Moreover, in the current situation, my Xianzong obviously took the initiative, if we add fuel to the fire and urge the imperial court to continue to investigate, the weak foundation of the Yinzong in the officialdom will be gone. At this time, Brother Shen still dares to make such a request, I really admire you, admire your rat eyes! ”

P: zuihou one day, sincerely ask for a monthly pass!.
