Chapter 122 Going to the Forest (1)

Zhang Xing got the best result after rejecting Uncle Cao.

But even if it is the best result, they are not allowed to go to the Black Tower again.But to put this in another way, Cao Lin took the initiative to cut off his upward passage to Zhang Xing. In the future, he would not want to take the road of Zhu Shou to enter the palace and become a real senior official of the Wei Dynasty.

The so-called you will not be allowed to walk this road in the future, and you will not be allowed to climb this tower in the future.

If so.

Of course, Zhang Xing was not too disappointed, only fear and relief.Even after a period of time, with the brazier set up in the yard, the firewood burned, the iron frame set up, the meat grilled and the wine warmed up, the atmosphere was still a little tense.

The most obvious feature is that everyone drank for a quarter of an hour and ate some barbecue, but no one opened their mouths to talk—even Yue Niang, who was usually talkative, didn't chatter.

"Speaking of which, how many people are there in Fulongwei?" Beside the crackling brazier, Zhang Xing reached for a piece of sauced meat that was still hot from Yueniang's plate, took a bite, and suddenly tried to ask. "What kind of cultivation are they?"

"Fulongwei is full of 120 people, but it is basically not full." Opposite the stove, Sima was holding a small wine pot, and replied quickly and in a flat tone. "The general requirements for members are from the Dzogchen of the Zhengmai to the Dzogchen of the Tongmai, which is the so-called stage of the Eight Meridians of the Extraordinary Meridians... After the core is condensed, they will not stay. They will usually go to the army."

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhang Xing couldn't ask in time.

"If His Majesty goes on patrol, Fulongwei will naturally be the first-class vanguard scout and guard." Sima Zheng still spoke properly. "And if His Majesty doesn't go on patrol, he will just be divided into four teams to take turns guarding the Langya Pavilion in the willow forest in Xiyuan...Of course, there are occasional imperial decrees and verbal orders, such as the last time he went to guard Zhang Xianggong."

Langya Pavilion.

Zhang Xing immediately caught a key word, and he seemed to have heard it from Bai Yousi or someone else, but he didn't rush to ask, but asked another question after glancing at the new female regular inspector who was drinking: " Not to mention assignments, Fu Longwei is in Xiyuan on weekdays, who do you mainly deal with in general affairs?"

"Beiya." Sima Zheng sighed slightly.

"Why sigh?" Zhang Xing was slightly puzzled.

"Not every Dugong just cares about cultivation and planting flowers like Niu Dugong." Sima Zheng smiled wryly. "I have been in Fulongwei for two years. The three governors of Beiya, Dugong Niu, are too lazy to take care of things, and Dugong Ma and Duke Gao have also been fighting for two full years. They exhausted all means, which made me miserable."

After Zhang Xing listened carefully, he took a sip of wine, and then said: "It sounds very interesting."

"That's for you, Zhang Sanlang." Sima Zheng shook his head immediately, unable to smile even more bitterly.

"I remember someone said that Langya Pavilion has the top and most secret archives of Wei...?" Zhang Xing put down the empty jug, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to ask calmly.

Bai Yousi looked up at Zhang Xing, but didn't say anything.

"That's right, the secrets of the royal family, the details of the family, the records of the real dragons and gods, the inferences of the words and deeds of the supreme, the true energy of the world, the great masters, the notes of the master's views on cultivation, which one is not the top and most secret file?" Sima Zheng seemed Didn't notice Zhang Xing's deliberation, or thought it didn't matter. "But that kind of thing can neither be looked at nor asked, nor can it be proved to be true, so it can only be the top and most secret file."

Zhang Xing nodded, noncommittal.

"However." Sima Zheng hesitated for a while, but still spoke seriously. "No matter how you calculate it, it is natural for Fulong Guard to guard Langya Pavilion... In name, Langya Pavilion is where the Fusi of Xizhen resides, including the young minister of Fusi of Xizhen, who is also resident in Langya Pavilion; From a practical point of view, the most important objects such as the Fulong Seal, the Imperial Dragon Stele, and the Shocking Dragon Sword are also placed in Langya Pavilion... Even, the name of Fulongwei is derived from the Fulong Seal... What do you think? Think about it, after offering the Fulong Seal, who in the world will be the opponent of the 120 masters who are above Dzogchen Dzogchen?"

Zhang Xing was stunned at this moment, and then suddenly realized why Fu Longwei's masters were required to be above Zhengmai Dzogchen, isn't this just right?

"Has it worked?" Zhang Xing lowered his voice and asked. "Is it useful for Grand Master?"

"I really didn't use it during my tenure." Sima shook his head in response. "Not to mention Grand Master... who has the guts to seek Grand Master for a try? If it doesn't work, who can afford the consequences? But since Emperor Bai made this thing, he has definitely used it for thousands of years, and more than once, And it should be effective, but the people who use it are said to be very demanding and have great consequences, so the results may not be what people want.”

This is quite reasonable.

"Then what about the Dragon Tablet and the Dragon Shocking Sword? What are they for?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.

"The Stele of the Dragon is to enshrine and protect the real dragon of the country, that's how Fenshanjun and Buhaijun came, and the Sword of Shocking Dragon is to wake up the real dragon and let the real dragon fulfill the promise." Sitting next to Zhang Xing, he didn't say a word. Bai Yousi suddenly interjected with the smell of alcohol. "However, no one knows exactly how to seal it and how to wake it up, and no one can explain it clearly. It's just that there are similar sayings recorded, and everyone has many different guesses... However, no matter what, even Fulongwei's I'm afraid it's hard to see these things in the regular inspection."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Bao raised his head slightly, but when he heard the last sentence, he lowered his head again and began to gnaw his bones seriously.

Zhang Xing also nodded... He knew that Bai Yousi was reminding himself not to be confused, or not to ask too many questions in front of Sima Zheng.

After all, at Hongshan that day, Zhang Sanlang took the initiative to mention Fenshanjun and Bihaijun to Bai Yousi in front of Qin Bao. Sizheng was the one who was inspecting the East Territory after the war, so of course he would have guessed something.

But even if he was reminded, Zhang Xing thought for a moment, but he was still full of curiosity: "General Sima, these three things are so powerful, why there was so little competition when the heroes fought for hegemony?"

"Because it doesn't make sense." Sima Zheng said with a smile. "I know what you mean... Let me give you a simple example... If there are a lot of heroes fighting for hegemony, and the two countries each occupy half of Hebei, even if one of the countries has won the Dragon Stele, it should not be able to seal the real dragon. According to Hebei, it makes the hearts of the people have no other belongings; on the other hand, if the Great Wei Dynasty did not have the Dragon Monument that day, it could also be made by the Great Master through the sacrifice of some one-time items... It's just these few things, after all It is famous in history, and it has been used by the Supreme himself, so it is always safer to use."

Zhang Xing felt a little stunned, and then nodded slightly: "So, it is legal because of rule, not rule because of legality?"

"Brother Zhang, what's the matter with this pass?" Sima Zheng was momentarily at a loss, but Zhou Xingfan didn't hold back to interject to ask.

"No, for example, just say it casually." Zhang Xing shook his head again and again.

Sima Zheng nodded and didn't pursue it, but said earnestly: "Actually, whether it is the Fulong Seal or the Imperial Dragon Tablet, there are traces of these things, and it is absolutely impossible for real dragons and gods not to give mortals a chance. Otherwise, there would not be the previous history of the two Supreme Beings, Hei Di Ye and Bai Di Ye... It can only be said that if it is not for the sake of that, if you don’t touch it yourself, you will still be too far away from each other. Yes, but once it arrives, many things will suddenly become clear.”

Bai Yousi or Li Ding seemed to have said this before, but at that time it was only to refer to practice.

At this time, Zhang Xing thought of the historical books he had read, and after a little reflection, he was also awakened in his heart, and he couldn't help nodding his head heavily: "General Sima said well...it should be like this. Village, since there is a Tao in this world, and there are people who have made it through, there must be a way to go up... But our current point is a bit far after all, it is useless to think about it, it is better to wait for it to come to fruition."

Sima Zheng nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and then suddenly asked: "So, Zhang Sanlang not only wants to dominate the world, but also wants to learn from Zhongcheng, so that he can go smoothly in his cultivation?"

"Almost." Zhang Xing laughed dryly, and quickly went to get the meat from the plate again. "Zhongcheng's saying is always right. The question I asked him was not the question I asked myself...Of course I gave the answer myself."

Sima Zheng nodded repeatedly, but remained silent for a while.

Obviously, this young man who is the most talented person in the world has misunderstood something.

Zhang Xing didn't lie, of course he had his own answers to those questions, but that didn't mean he wasn't worried and panicked.

The reason is self-evident, and I still say the old saying, after all, this is a world with real energy, with real dragons, gods, and supreme beings.

These things are new factors that he must face up to in the process of handing over his answers.

That's why he became a little sensitive after mentioning related matters in the natural topic of Fulongwei, but he didn't expect Sima Erlong's answer to be unexpectedly appropriate and clear-that is, although it seems a bit out of reach now , so it seems chaotic and vague, but in fact, according to the historical experience of this world itself, it is always dominated by people, and there is always a way.

A thousand words and one sentence, there is always a way.

After eating two pieces of barbecue, Zhang Xing completely lost his extra thoughts, but after glancing at a few preoccupied people in the courtyard, he felt a bit narrow-minded, simply wiped the oil from his mouth, and asked immediately: "Everyone... Today, my ambitions and thoughts were all heard by you...how unfair? But you, don’t know what ambitions you have, can you tell me? General Sima, you are recognized as the number one talent in the world. How dare you ask what you have? ambition?"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the courtyard changed immediately, almost everyone woke up and went to see Sima Zheng in surprise.

And Sima Zheng was startled for a moment, then remained silent for a long time, and after a long time, holding the flagon, he said slowly:

"My ambition... how can I have any ambitions? It's just to try my best to serve my country and settle down, and make no mistakes."

"I see." Zhang Xing nodded immediately. "Your ambition is to live up to others... which is actually quite remarkable."

"Yes... People don't let me down, and I don't let people down." Sima Zheng took a deep breath and seemed to be in a daze, but at this point, everyone was a little too drunk, and no one knew what kind of attitude anyone was in. . "Since you are a minister and son of man, you should do your best, that's all."

"Where's Yueniang?" Zhang Xing suddenly turned around and asked an unexpected person. "What are your ambitions?"

"Me?" Yue Niang, who was watching the group with cold eyes, was caught off guard, but said seriously right away. "Live well."

"That's right." Zhang Xing nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Xiao Zhou again. "Where is Mr. Zhou?"

"What ambition can I have?" Zhou Xingfan laughed on the spot. "To tell you the truth, Brother Zhang, I just want to learn more and experience more things, so that I can help my father in the future, as long as I don't embarrass my father."

Everyone came to laugh.

Zhang Xing also nodded: "Your words are unexpectedly sincere... What is Qin Bao's ambition?"

Qin Bao was obviously caught off guard, but he answered calmly immediately after a moment of delay: "I have nothing to hide. I lost my father since I was young, and my elder brother died early. My mother has only one thing to say for a long time, that is, to make me stand out. To revive the family, in the words of my mother, if this is not possible, even if she dies, she would not let me go to the funeral... I was also influenced by this since I was a child, so I wholeheartedly do this... And the so-called revitalizing the family, think about it carefully , It’s nothing more than going back to the time of my father and grandfather, to be a high-ranking official, or a governor of a state, or in charge of an army, preferably with a title.”

This also seems very honest.

But Zhang Xing thought for a while, and still didn't let the other party go: "If you are allowed to vote for Dongyi, I will allow you to be the prefect of the prefecture, will you do it?"

"Don't do it." Qin Bao sensed Zhang Xing's malice, but didn't care about it.

"Why?"

"The tombs of my father and grandfather are all in the east, how can I be an official of Dongyi? What is it to revive the family?" Qin Bao spoke frankly.

"If you are asked to kill a thousand women and children, how about making you an Ying Yang Lang immediately?" Zhang Xing seemed to have no intention of letting Qin Bao go.

"How can there be such a court in the world?" Qin Erlang finally became a little annoyed. "Third Brother, don't make fun of me too much."

"Just if..."

"If there is such an imperial court, it's fine if this official doesn't do it!" Qin Bao sighed. "It's better to go home and farm, and I want peace of mind, and my mother won't blame me...Because my mother begged me to stand out in order to let me live up to my ancestors and have an indomitable dignity...If that's the case, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?"

Zhang Xing nodded, and wanted to see Bai Yousi.

Bai Yousi, who had already drank three pots of wine and hadn't forced out the drink, seemed to have expected that the other party would come to see him, so he immediately threw the pot on the ground and responded loudly: "Someone ordered like this, if there is no cure for the plague , I can’t say that I will really do it... But if what you said is innocent means ordinary innocence, then it must be reckless, not only will I not do it, but I will go and see who dares to do it?!”

"Performance inspection." Zhang Xing nodded. "What about the ambition of the inspection?"

"My ambition is to do things!" Bai Yousi was not afraid at all, his face was flushed, and he stared at the other party proudly.

"Working? What are you doing?" Zhang Xing was really confused.

"Even if you have a long sword that leans on the sky and cuts iron like mud, you should do something...whether it's to weaken the strong and help the weak, to help the world and the people, or to engrave a seal on a stone, you should do something!" Bai Yousi said He took out the long sword in his hand, raised it high through the scabbard, raised his eyebrows and spoke loudly. "If you can't do anything in Zhongzhen Fusi, then go to Xizhen Fusi to continue doing things. If Xizhen Fusi can't do it, then go to the army to do things! But you must not hold a long sword, drink wine, and be chaotic every day go down!"

Zhang Xing was taken aback for a moment, and took it seriously: "The inspector is really a real man."

On the opposite side, Qin Bao hesitated to speak, but finally shut up.

PS: Thanks to the new leader, Mr. Gaoshou...a good name.
