Walking on the way to the platform in front of the Wuliang Hall of Linggu Temple, Xu Beiyou slowly combed through the contacts he had recently accumulated in his mind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is not as good as the network of contacts that Master has accumulated over decades, but it can be regarded as taking shape.

Master Gongsun Zhongmou and Mr. Han Xuan are the closest to him, and based on the two of them, they have developed two lines respectively. Master Gongsun Zhongmou's line is quite complicated, from the twelve sword masters of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall to the King of Lingwu County, Xiao Maha and the King of Liao, Mu Tangzhi, and then to Murong Xuanyin, and even add a Demon Suppression Hall Master Chenye who gave out a private seal. Relatively speaking, Mr. Han Xuan's line is a little simpler and clearer so far, but there is one more sick tiger Zhang Wuzhi.

The people on these two lines are all big people who hold real power or even dominate one side, and before Xu Beiyou has enough weight to prove himself, he will basically just look at it coldly. Even if Zhang Wuxian had helped many times, it was only because he wanted to use Xu Beiyou to meet Tang Shengyue.

And then there is the line of Xiao Zhinan, in addition to Xiao Zhinan, there are also Xiao Yuanying, Zhang Baisui, Moshu, Xie Suqing and others, this line is undoubtedly the most thoughtful for Xu Beiyou, and he does not dare to act rashly, for fear of drawing snakes, but on the whole, the relationship between him and Xiao Zhinan is gradually going to a new height, not to mention using it, but there is a common tacit understanding, and it can be regarded as a deliberate planting of flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows, Xiao Zhinan seems to have regarded him as a friend.

In terms of Xiao Zhinan's temperament, the word friend is not a friend of wine and meat, but a person who can put his heart into his heart, which shows that it is precious.

As for his wife Zhang Xueyao, the reason why Xu Beiyou did not include her in the line of his master Gongsun Zhongmou was not only because the two had not been in contact with each other for many years, but also because Zhang Xueyao was too deeply involved with Qin Mumian and Tang Shengyue, and it had become another complete line.

It is this line that Xu Beiyou is working now.

The threads of human connections are not unrelated, but intersect with each other, as long as there are enough threads to interweave into a net, a large net that can cover the whole world.

Of course, among all the connections of Xu Beiyou, not all of them are friends and enemies, not to mention the towering Daomen, there are also Duanmu father and son who play a pivotal role in the court.

The three heroes of Qi Chu were Xu Yan, Duanmu Ruisheng, Han Xuan, plus the prince and master Lan Yu at that time, these were the four auxiliary ministers prepared by Emperor Xiao Yu for his son Xiao Xuan, and they also had the idea of having three "new ministers" to balance Lan Yu, the "old minister".

The fate of the "three heroes" is different, but one thing is the same, that is, the same high power.

Xu Yan, the head of the three masters, is the grandson of Xu Lin, the king of Xihe County, and the brother of Queen Xu. The remaining Duanmu Ruisheng and Han Xuan are not far behind, Han Xuan was born in a poor family but was able to ascend to the position of second assistant, competing with Lan Yu, who has been in charge of the cabinet for decades, Duanmu Ruisheng is the official to the Governor of the Dark Guard Mansion.

With Han Xuan being knocked to the dust in the early years of Chengping, only Duanmu Ruisheng was left among the three masters, and he became more and more dominant, and in terms of power alone, he was only second only to Lan Yu and Wei Ban. Even if Han Xuan's return to the temple is now a foregone conclusion, Han Xuan, who has left the court for 20 years, is no longer the same as Duanmu Ruisheng, who has been deeply rooted in the temple for 20 years.

With Xu Beiyou's weight, it is not yet in Duanmu Ruisheng's eyes, in fact, a Duanmu jade has already made Xu Beiyou a little weak, it can be said that this is already his limit, and the sword light and sword shadow and wind, frost, rain and snow are not what he can bear now.

At this time, there have been a lot of people gathered here on the platform in front of the Wuliang Palace, most of them are scholars dressed up, in this cool summer weather, all hand-cranked folding fans, various colors of fans, inscriptions, painting landscapes, painting beauties, all kinds of colors.

Boundless Hall ** enshrines the Buddha of Amitayus, the whole building does not have half a beam and column, so it is also called the Beamless Palace, it is the most essence of the Linggu Temple, and the people who can enter the Infinite Hall are the big people in this assembly, including several chief officials of the three divisions, are the role of calling for wind and rain in the Jiangzhou area, and it is possible to say a word in the place of a house.

The time has not yet come, and there are still a few people standing outside the hall who are not in a hurry to enter, most of them are standing to the age of not confusing themselves, neither because they are too young to have the right to speak, but also temporarily unable to experience the pain of old age and decay, such as the sun, it is the most proud time in life.

Among them, there are still three or four people, standing aside and talking and laughing, naturally dividing an invisible boundary gap with the ordinary scholars around them, and there is a great sense of pointing out the country between the words.

"I heard that this time there is a character who has just arrived in Jiangnan to appear, which is a bye to the pier. One of the fat men dressed as a wealthy businessman said, "I don't know who has any news, tell me what kind of character this is." ”

"I've heard that, too. Another famous Confucian in Jiangnan said: "It's a letter from Jiangdu, as for the details of that person, I have never heard of it before, let alone seen it." ”

The rest of the people also said that they had not seen it, but a handsome boy dressed in jade white clothes said softly: "It should be Zhang Xueyao's disciple who has arrived." ”

"Zhang Xueyao?" the rich merchant man was a little curious, he had never heard of this name, and it seemed to be a woman's name. In this Jiangnan territory, from the inner house of the Sansi Yamen to the painting boat of Qinhuai in ten miles, there is no woman named Zhang Xueyao.

The young man holding an ivory fan shook the folding fan lightly, and when he saw that several people were a little dazed, he said unhurriedly: "I don't know if a few people have ever heard of Mrs. Luo." ”

The rich businessman's eyes lit up, and he said: "I have naturally heard of this, Mrs. Luo's daughter building is the first floor of Qinhuai, which not only means that the women are daughters, but also has the meaning of letting people scatter their daughters. ”

Speaking of this place, a few people who were still holding the shelf inevitably had some thoughts floating, obviously they had all learned the taste, and for a while everyone tacitly laughed.

"What is Mrs. Luo's wrist, I think several people have heard of it, and in the early years, she was also called a Rakshasa girl, and she was as famous as the Jade Guanyin in Jiangbei. The young man explained with a smile: "Enter the temple to worship the Buddha, first pass the Tianwang Palace, you might as well tell a few Ming, this Mrs. Luo is the protector of the Dharma in front of the true Buddha, just a shopkeeper on the bright side, and there are other people behind the owner, that is the real Tongtian person, not to mention the chief of the three divisions, that is, several officials of the Secret Guard Mansion and several governors of Huzhou should also give a few points, this Zhang Xueyao is one of them." ”

"It's amazing. The rich businessman said: "It is said that the water in the south of the Yangtze River is deep, which can be regarded as a long insight." ”

The young man's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said softly: "If you want to see the real Buddha, you have to pass through the temple gate first, how many people can't find the temple gate with a pig's head, these three are the three Buddhas in Jiangdu City." ”

When these words came out, a voice came from afar, "Since you know that there are three big Buddhas in Jiangdu, you still have to come to join in this fun, isn't it that a huge imperial capital can't accommodate you?"

While speaking, Xu Beiyou, dressed in a black robe, appeared under the platform, looking up at Duanmu Yu, the clouds were light and the wind was light.

With a snap, the folding fan in the young man's hand was closed, gently slapped his palm, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said with a smile: "Who am I, it turned out to be Brother Xu." ”

Xu Beiyou said flatly: "Brother Duanmu, it's been a long time. ”

Originally, there was a middle-aged man in a black brocade robe standing far away, very inconspicuous, but after Xu Beiyou appeared, he instantly came to Duanmu Yu's side, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Everyone present was a little unable to come back to their senses.

The surname is Xu, Duanmu, the imperial capital, could it be that these two young people are the princes and grandsons of the imperial capital?

If so, that's a lot of money.

Although the status of the people present is not as good as the two, but which one is not a human spirit, it is natural to see that the two are not as close as they are called, but there are some undercurrents, and their eyes are wide for a while, for fear of missing the battle between the "imperial capital nobles".

For a while, no one paid attention to the female champions Zhang An and Li Qinglian around Xu Beiyou.

Xu Beiyou threw the Xueyun short blade that he had been playing with in his hand to Duanmu Yu's feet, and said with a light smile: "Just now, a mad dog bit people indiscriminately and was killed by me. ”

Duanmu Yu is worthy of being the son of a family, and he didn't look at the snow cloud, he didn't care about it, and said indifferently: "Since it is a mad dog, if you kill it, you will be killed, and I want to thank Brother Xu for taking action to eliminate the harm." ”
