Xu Beiyou didn't rush to speak, he knew that the two were just meeting in Pingshui, and there was no reason to eat lunch in vain, so it was inevitable that there would be some bargaining. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info is the so-called sky-high asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back, this bargaining is also a battle, whoever speaks first will lose the first hand.

Zhang Wuxian said softly: "You have also seen that this sword cannot be controlled by a non-Sword Sect descendant, and it is not of much use for me to keep it in my hand, so I want to exchange it for something." ”

Xu Beiyou asked cautiously: "I don't know what you want? If Master can't give it, I probably can't give it either." ”

Zhang Wuxian smiled, "It's different, Gongsun Zhongmou asked for too much and gave too little." And it's not that he can't give it, it's just that he doesn't want to give it, after all, he wants to plan the overall situation, and it is impossible to spend too much energy on me alone. ”

Xu Beiyou asked curiously, "What did Master promise to you?"

Zhang Wuxian said unhurriedly, "Draw cakes to satisfy hunger." ”

Xu Beiyou was stunned at first, and then laughed dumbly.

It turned out that the master wanted the white wolf with empty gloves, no wonder it would be in vain.

Zhang Wuxi suddenly said: "Before that, do you want to hear about Gongsun Zhongmou?"

Xu Beiyou hesitated slightly, then nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"I'm guessing you didn't know you had a wife. Zhang Wuxi's first sentence was shocking, so that Xu Beiyou didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This matter is not strange in nature, after all, Gongsun Zhongmou was born in a family, and he must have been a noble son like Duanmu Yu when he was young, even if he is old now, he can vaguely see the demeanor of the year, and it is natural to start a family and start a business, but it is strange to have no wife.

But the master never mentioned it, so that Xu Beiyou thought that the master and wife had died early, and the master and Mr. were widowers who lost their wives.

Zhang Wuxi seemed to see through what Xu Beiyou was thinking, and then said: "Your master and wife are not dead, and she is alive and well, I saw her ten years ago, although she is about the same age as your master, she is still charming, and her appearance seems to be a woman in her thirties." ”

Xu Beiyou had some bad premonitions.

Zhang Wuxian said with emotion: "Your master and mother were born in the Zhang family of Weiguo, and your master is from the same family, and the door is right, no matter how you look at it, it is a match made in heaven, but unfortunately the world is unpredictable, and in the end the two became a pair of resentful couples, first respecting each other like guests, then respecting each other like ice, and finally not getting along with each other in old age." ”

Xu Beiyou was noncommittal, obviously a little skeptical about how Zhang Wuxian would know about these private things.

Zhang Wuxian patiently explained: "The grievances and hatreds of the two of them are basically known to the older generation, and it is you young people who will feel that they are making a fuss." In fact, Gongsun Zhongmou's matter is nothing, and there is even more than that, Emperor Taizu back then, what a hero, swept the domain, Kuang helped the world, but he was a person who was afraid of the inside, the dignity of the emperor, no concubines for life, only married the queen, only one heir of the queen, that is, the current Emperor of Daqi. ”

Xu Beiyou was speechless: "Emperor Taizu turned out to be a person who fears the inside. ”

Zhang Wuxi smiled slightly, "Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother, I heard the family teacher mention it, domineering and arbitrary, during the serious illness of Emperor Xiao, Taizu even presided over the government on behalf of Emperor Xiao, and even His Royal Highness the King of Wei, who claimed to be a last resort, had suffered a big loss in the hands of this imperial sister-in-law." ”

Xu Beiyou snorted, and listened to Zhang Wuxi's words as a legend, the little people like to listen to the anecdotes of the big people, but they only like to listen to what they want to hear, as for the truth behind it, no one will care, everyone just interprets this story according to their own wishes, and finally comes up with a legend that is very different from the facts, or even far from the truth.

Zhang Wuxi flicked his fingers on the sword again, but the evil let out a sonorous sound, "The reason why I tell you this old story is because what I want is related to these people." Your wife and the late Queen Mother once had a little grudge, and the two made a bet a few decades ago on a separate courtyard, and your mother won. ”

Xu Beiyou was not a stupid person, and asked carefully, "Is there something you want in the other courtyard?"

Zhang Wuxian smiled: "Smart." ”

Xu Beiyou asked again, "Then Master him?"

Zhang Wuxian shook his head and said, "If it is replaced by your master, it will be a good thing to turn into a bad thing, and you will really be turned away." ”

Xu Beiyou pondered for a while, and then asked, "What exactly is it?"

Zhang Wuxian said calmly: "I can't say it now, Gongsun Zhongmou is very clear about this matter, you can ask him in the future." ”

Since the master knew about this, Xu Beiyou was relieved, but he also faintly felt that this monk named Zhang Wuzhi was not as indisputable as he seemed to be.

Zhang Wuxian threw the evil in his hand to Xu Beiyou, "Since it is a business, in order to show sincerity, I will pay the remuneration first." ”

Xu Beiyou caught the evil, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you not afraid that I will collect money and not do things?"

The monk, who looked more gentle and more scholarly, laughed and said: "The premise of lending money to others is to have the ability to collect debts, otherwise it will become a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return." If Gongsun Zhongmou said this, the monk would definitely have to think about it, as for you, it is still far away. ”

Xu Beiyou was a little embarrassed, knowing that he had asked a stupid question.

Zhang Wuxi's tone was still an understatement, but the content of his words was a very subtle threat, "Gongsun Zhongmou can't protect you for the rest of your life." ”

Xu Beiyou held his hands upside down, and arched his hand: "I have been taught." ”

Zhang Wuxi turned around, faced the gloomy Buddha cave, and waved his hand.

Xu Beiyou turned around and left.

When Xu Beiyou returned to the temple cave along the original road, he found that in addition to Zhiyun who was waiting here, there was another person, who was carefully looking at the huge Buddha statue that had been standing in the wind and sand for hundreds of years.

Gongsun Zhongmou.

Xu Beiyou held the evil in his hand and said softly, "Master." ”

Gongsun Zhongmou retracted his gaze, glanced at the evil in Xu Beiyou's hand, and said in a low voice: "Zhang Wuxi." ”

Xu Beiyou nodded and said, "Zhang Wuxian gave me the evil and asked me to go to my wife to get something." ”

Gongsun Zhongmou snorted uncharacteristically, I don't know if it was dissatisfaction with his wife, or dissatisfaction with Zhang Wuxian for mentioning those old things, or dissatisfaction with Xu Beiyou's own opinions.

Xu Beiyou was a little apprehensive.

However, Gongsun Zhongmou quickly regained his composure and explained to his apprentice: "Buddhism has monks, this is nothing new, Zhang Wuxian is the lord of the dragons of the eight tribes, and he is also the leader of the monks, so he is called the Dragon King." But before, he was not called the Dragon King, but the Sick Tiger. As early as more than 20 years ago, he was the commander of the imperial court's guards, and was even once regarded as the successor of the metropolitan governor Wei Ban, but he was also a temple, and he was a person of Han Xuan, standing in the wrong position, and was beaten into the dust by Lan Yu with Han Xuan, and since then he has been disheartened, shaved his hair, and changed from a sick tiger in the imperial court to a dragon king of Buddhism. ”

Of course, Xu Beiyou knew who Lan Yu was.

From the beginning of Emperor Taizu's uprising, Lan Yu has begun to assist Emperor Taizu, and after the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, Lan Yu was awarded the title of Duke of Zhao, ranking as the first person of the Lingyan Pavilion, becoming the first cabinet chief assistant of the Great Qi, plus the Zhu State. After the prince ascended the throne, Lan Yu was a very popular minister, becoming the second Wenchen after Zhang Jiangling to be crowned the title of Taishi when he was alive.

When Xu Lin, the king of Xihe County, who ranked second among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, passed away, the entire court, regardless of the military generals or even Xu Lin's successor Wei Ban, could not be compared with Lan Yu.

Today's blue jade, only after the death of the Wen Zheng, is the merit of the consummation.

Gongsun Zhongmou said casually: "Han Xuan, the character Wenbi, the former deputy assistant of the cabinet, left the Eastern Capital after losing power, went to the northwest, and finally stayed in a place called Xiaofangzhai. ”

Dongdu, this is the former name of the imperial capital, and only the older generation will keep this statement.

Xu Beiyou was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "So Mr. is Han Xuan, the second assistant of the cabinet." Just as the master is Gongsun Zhongmou, the sect master of the Sword Sect. ”

Gongsun Zhongmou was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Exactly." ”

Xu Beiyou said helplessly: "How many things are Mr. and Master hiding from me?"

Gongsun Zhongmou joked: "You might as well guess. ”
