Chapter 5 Affection
Chang Sihao looked at him and thought: "Master Zheng has died, the content of the talks between them, isn't it based on his mouth at the moment, this book alone can't prove anything, even in the small Cang faction, there are characters like Xia Zenghui hidden, the power of the ghost fog system has far exceeded expectations, not to mention the example of the second elder of Mount Tai first, no matter how famous the Shaolin faction is, it is difficult to say how reliable it is, people's hearts are unpredictable, it is still necessary to be more careful," he said lightly in his nose "um", and said: " The emperor's meaning is to collect or suppress the Juhao Pavilion, and the peace will be achieved, the Juhao Pavilion is strong, and the fight is only afraid of losing both, and it is not the people of Li who are suffering, if they can reconcile with it, it will naturally be better, since the Venerable Master and Uncle Zheng have an appointment first, you will preside over the peace talks, I believe that it will be smooth sailing, and it will be successful."
The man on the hill said happily: "Okay, good, Master Zheng really didn't see the wrong person," said with a snap of high-fives, and turned a monk and two people from behind the tree chair where Chang Sihao was sitting, the monk had long eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong physique, and he looked like he was about fifty, and the Taoist was thin and clear, his face was pale, his nose was red, his hair was snowy, and his face was full of wrinkles, not to mention seventy.
Chang Sihao listened to the sound of footsteps from a close place, obviously the two of them had been behind for a long time, and he couldn't even notice the sound of breathing close, which showed that their skills were not shallow.
The man on the hill introduced: "This Taoist is the head of Wudang 'Ruozhi Zhenren' Lu Huangqiao Lu Dao Chief, also known as 'Hanging Branches', this is Lao Gao's junior brother Kobayashi Zongqing," Chang Sihao got up and gave a salute, Lu Huangqiao pressed his hand and sat on the peach tree chair in the center, Kobayashi Zongqing walked over and stood beside the senior brother, the man on the hill looked back, the middle-aged servant with a long beard was stunned, and then he understood, left for a moment and came back, and added a teacup for Lu Huangqiao,
Lu Huangqiao elbowed the handrail of the peach branch, looked at Chang Sihao sideways, and said: "Poor Dao heard the Venerable Master talk about what he saw and heard in Beijing, and he was very curious about Chang Shaojian.
As soon as a word came out, the small courtyard was silent,
Lu Huangqiao and Chang Sihao looked at each other for a long time, and a smile appeared on their faces: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes are ethereal, and they are somewhat credible," and then slowly adjusted his posture: "The truth is rare, there is news that there is a hidden story in the bloody case of the Hundred Swords Alliance, but with Chang Shaojian's words, it is enough to explain everything, no matter what others think of you, the leader of the alliance, my Wudang faction admits it first,"
Chang Sihao said with a smile: "Thanks to the old swordsman, otherwise this courtyard may not be very easy to get out of," this "is not easy to get out", one is to say that the face is not passable, and the other is that the person is in danger, and the words are faintly sharp, pointing out that they appear behind the people, with a strong threat and aggression, which is not commensurate with the identity of the predecessors,
Lu Huangqiao's old eyes narrowed into a line, and he smiled: "It's hard to say,"
The word "difficult to say" can be interpreted as "whether you can move or not" and "you can't get out" It's hard to say, it's ambiguous, but it's just right, Chang Sihao smiled quietly in his eyes, and understood in his heart that some things are not difficult to say, but it is inconvenient to say them clearly, all the swords in the bloody case of the general altar are dead, and even the family members of the nine great swords are not left, Xiaoqing made a fuss at the annual meeting again, although the stuffing was not revealed, how could it not make people doubt, the family members of these two major factions are not given in vain, and the compromise and restraint at the moment are mostly under the judgment of the situation, temporarily taking themselves as a donkey to comb the cage, it seems that the officialdom is becoming more difficult, and the rivers and lakes in front of him seem to be more and more difficult to walk,
The man on the hill pulled the topic back and said: "The matter of peace talks, the lord of the Zheng League and the old man have discussed it for a long time, and the eyebrows are initially decided, but I didn't expect that the plan is not as good as changing, something happened to the Hundred Swords League, Shen Lu also died in the East Factory, and the Juhao Pavilion was dominated by Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan, and it was easy to say, but now that the Xiliang Great Sword and the old man Tuimeng have reappeared in the rivers and lakes, the situation is very different, Yan Lingyun is the same generation as the old man, and it is good to say, in terms of age and qualifications, the old swordsman You is much higher, in this way, what the old man said, it will inevitably be discounted a little,"
Chang Sihao said: "I have met with the old swordsman You, and I see that they are not arrogant people, so let's do everything on the facts, and it is reasonable to reason, why should the Venerable Master worry about this?"
Lu Huangqiao sighed: "Gentlemen are not arrogant, they admit the reason of death, to put it bluntly, as long as they think it is right, no matter the wind and rain, lightning and thunder, cattle pulling horses, the earth cracking and the sky collapse, they must give up their lives and forget their lives to do it, this, it is called 'Shixin', since ancient times, many people died for their confidants, and they would rather die for martyrdom, with all due respect, there are many people in the Hundred Swords Alliance, and it is the same,"
Chang Sihao was silent, as Lu Lao said, Zhu Qing and Jiang Wan's insistence on their own beliefs, like Zheng Mengzhu's sword family ambition, seems to outsiders to be almost stubborn persistence, the time and life spent like martyrdom behind it, in the eyes of others, Tai Ban is also a meaningless and ridiculous sacrifice, good and evil can be marked and clearly distinguished, but now they are facing a dilemma that is difficult to say right and wrong, just like Jiang Wan can't convince himself, how can he get the other party's approval,
In silence, the man on the hill said: "I can't understand the reason, sometimes, I have to move with emotion, and in the future, this matter will fall on the leader of the Chang League,"
Chang Sihao was stunned: "How do you say this?"
The man on the hill said with a smile: "How can the alliance leader still ask knowingly, the old swordsman You was known as 'the transverse flute is not like a guest in the world', he was chic and uninhibited, why did he hide in the cave at a young age,"
Chang Sihao thought to himself that he was hidden, what did he have to do with me, and he was even more confused for a while.
Seeing this, the people on the hill still didn't understand, and they were a little puzzled, and then they slapped their foreheads and smiled: "Alas, blame the old man for being confused, the old things of the previous generation in the rivers and lakes have been rotten for many years, and they are not what you young people like to hear, probably the old benefactor of Qin has never talked about it, and the master of the Chang Alliance does not know, so it is not surprising,"
Lu Huangqiao shook his head and sighed: "The word "Venerable Master's decay and sinking" is too sad, the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the past are multiplied, and there are many talents, how brilliant, that can be called the clouds and clouds, the dragon and the phoenix flying, which is like the snake and scorpion everywhere now, jackals everywhere, a few lynx beasts copy some grave yellow paper, paste the chivalrous banner, recruit some lonely souls and wild ghosts, and pick up some ruffians and splash skins, so they will also be the master of one side, and achieve a faction of power, which is really cold to the old people, and the chivalrous bones are sad, I think my master will ...... back then."
The people on the hill knew that "how to think about my master back then" was his mantra, and he didn't finish talking about it, so he hurriedly interrupted Chang Sihao with a smile: "Lu Lao's words are extreme, but it is true, in the rivers and lakes of the past, chivalrous people were like carp crossing the river, and there were thousands of people who could be swordsmen, which can be described as a grand view, and the old swordsman at that time was young and chic, both civil and military, and Xiao Yu in the south of the Yangtze River, Qin Zhuhai in Shanxi and the world, he was a famous beautiful man in the martial arts,"
Lu Huangqiao took it and said: "You Lao dyed the jade flute of Dongting Bi back then, the sword Xiaojun Mountain is light in the world, he is indeed a super character in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Yu picked up smoke and was a sword in the past, in terms of it, even if it is a hundred swords League, there are few people who can catch up with him, and You Lao is still reluctant, Qin Zhuhai is about to be inferior, the leader of the Chang League is not strange for the old way to be disgusting, your grandfather was congratulated at the martial arts Xiongfeng meeting back then." 'Thousands of miles of swords, it can be regarded as the best among the vulgar, but in terms of kung fu, it only stops at the realm of swordsmen, and in terms of business methods, it is even worse than his son Qin Langchuan, and it is not bad to say that he is in the same world as You Lao, but it is a little far-fetched to say that he is equally famous,"
Chang Sihao said: "Yes, yes, even the old swordsman Xu of our alliance is very much recommended by Xu Lao, and others don't need to mention it,"
The man on the hill smiled and continued: "It is said that the girl with the eldest grandson Xiaochi who returned to the water and fragrance was born with a natural appearance and national beauty, and can be called the first in the world. Changing her name and changing her name was originally a joke, but after this change, she really lived a long and healthy life, which is a miracle,"
Chang Sihao thought to himself that these two people were old, and their brains were not clear after all, how could they talk about old things, and they would be out of bounds, and felt that these two heads would not be so confused, so he interjected and asked: "Could it be that this Wang Meini has nothing to do with the retirement of the old swordsman?"
The man on the hill smiled: "Yes, it's very related, You Lao admired Yanyun Fairy very much, at that time, he caught up with Tianshan, Kongtong and other nine sects and thirteen factions to suppress the White Lotus Sect, and the twenty-two heroes went to Lushan, so he also participated in it and joined the battle group, one is to send forces for Wulin, and the other is to maintain the thoughtfulness of the Yanyun Fairy, but found that Qin Zhuhai and Xiao Yu have already arrived, both of them have the same heart, and later a bloody battle on the top of Hanyang Peak, the White Lotus Sect was defeated and lost, King Xiaoming, The three virgins are ambushed, the white lotus fourteen sword male heads are in different places, the righteous path can be regarded as a great victory, at that time, the battlefield situation was counted, Qin Zhuhai injured an arm to save Yanyun Fairy, Xiao Yu picked up smoke and killed the enemy, You Shengxian slashed Xiao Ming Wang, the credit is the greatest, the three people can be said to be indistinguishable, but I didn't expect that Yanyun Fairy met and fell in love with a married man in this battle, that is the master of the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, Tang Jiangfei,"
When Chang Sihao heard the four words of Tangmen in Shuzhong, his eyes straightened slightly,
The man on the hill smiled and said, "The master of the Chang Alliance must have understood, yes, this Yanyun Fairy is the lady of Tang who is still alive today,"
Chang Sihao immediately understood what he meant before, and said, "The Qin family has an in-law relationship with the Tang Sect, and the old swordsman You has an old relationship with Grandma Tang, so the Venerable Master's intention is to ask Grandma Tang to ask for help from the Tang Sect and ask Grandma Tang to come forward and persuade the old swordsman You to stop."
"Exactly," said the man on the hill: When he learned that Fairy Yanyun had a heart, Qin Zhuhai laughed, said goodbye and returned to Shanxi, married another good relationship, married a wife and had children, Xiao Yu picked up the smoke and did not forgive, and made a lot of trouble, and later caused a fire with the Tang Gate, which greatly damaged the vitality of both sides, and the Xiao Mansion also declined. ”
Chang Sihao looked at him, looked sideways at Lu Huangqiao, and was secretly unhappy in his heart, thinking about you monks and two monks, but came up with such a bad idea, I have never seen the face of Mrs. Tang, how can I invite people, and this involves the situation of decades ago, I went to someone's house to talk about the Chen sesame rotten grain, even if the old lady doesn't care, wouldn't the people of the Tang Sect be disgusted,
The man on the hill looked at his face and said: " The lord of the Chang League is embarrassed, the old man deeply understands, it is true that the temper of the fairy Yanyun was not very good when she was young, after marrying Tang Jiangfei, her personality is even more eccentric, she has experienced a battle with Xiao Fu, she took her three grandsons to hide, and even the news is rarely heard in the rivers and lakes, but she has always been very face-saving to the Qin family, the reason why she let her two grandsons marry the girl of the Qin family, I think it is also to remember the love of the prince of the sea to block the knife for her, which shows that no matter how weird and cold, she still has a side of love and righteousness, there is always the possibility of success in this matter, and then the next generation is easy to speak, and I hope that the master of the Chang League will focus on the overall situation, and do not shirk, ”
Chang Sihao said: "The Venerable Master's words are also reasonable, but this time I am going south on the order of the Holy Order, and I want to go to Guangdong, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to change my route to Sichuan halfway."
The man on the hill shook his head and smiled: "Outside, the king's order is not granted, everything should be judged and sized, the alliance leader's words are not a prevarication, but also a prevarication," the hand was led behind him: "Lao Gao, the junior brother of Xiaolin, has been a guest apprentice in the Linquan Academy in Putian, Fujian, and often goes to Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Jiangxi, Liangguang and other places to promote Dharma exchanges, this time he has just returned from the south, and he also knows a little about the revival of Haikou, junior brother, you come to talk to the alliance leader," Xiaolin Zongqing said: "Yes," Xiang Chang Sihao said:" Chang Alliance Lord, although there were many people gathered, but the grain and grass were not available, it was difficult to support a long war, some time ago, the county town was beaten, but also to rob the grain for the New Year, hearing that the official army came to suppress, has been looking for a place to hide, General Yu is now over there every day to catch the wind and shadows, even if the alliance leader is in the past, I am afraid that there is nothing to do,"
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "What he said is quite consistent with what the messenger in the post house said, and it seems that the situation in Guangzhou is really optimistic,"
The man on the hill added apologetically: " Juhao Pavilion has Gutian heavy troops in hand, there is a possibility of outbreak at any time, this matter is not a grudge in the rivers and lakes, but has become a military event, if it is really going to make trouble, the official army will inevitably intervene, this matter will be difficult to end, this is only afraid that the Zheng League Lord did not expect, but after all, the Juhao Pavilion is rooted in the rivers and lakes, so the old man thinks, but also try to suppress this matter, big things into small things, small things, the best policy, originally presided over the mediation, it was the old man who promised the Zheng League Lord first, but I am afraid that the strength will not be enough, so I went to Wudang and made an appointment with Lu Daochang, I discussed for many days before coming up with such an idea, I should have personally gone to visit Mrs. Tang, but after all, our monk is an outsider, I'm afraid that I can't say it, but I have mistaken a big thing,"
Chang Sihao secretly pondered: Although the idea of asking Grandma Tang is rancid, if you think about it carefully, it is to treat military affairs as a matter of rivers and lakes, and turn the affairs of the rivers and lakes into emotional affairs.
The man on the hill said with joy: "Everything depends on the master of the Chang League," nodded and called people, and the long-bearded servant behind him went down for a while, only to hear the sound of the wooden soles knocking on the ground approaching, and a maid brought wine to the plate, and passed the same vegetarian dishes up,
