That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 207

After Xuan Yi left, Xu Beiyou got up and looked at the nave hanging above him, and said slowly, "The Sword Qi Lingkong Hall is actually a sword."

"Ah?" Song Guanguan standing beside Xu Beiyou was a little confused.

Xu Beiyou held down the hilt of the sword at his waist, stroked it lightly, and said, "Swords can have spirituality, but they don't need to have thoughts. Whether to accept or let go, to kill or to save lives depends on the will of the sword holder. To act on its own accord and to devour its master is an evil sword and a demon sword, which should be eradicated."

Song Guanguan understood this time, and whispered: "My lord means..."

Xu Beiyou turned around and walked towards the door without looking back, "I understand what I mean. Seeing that they are willing to make a well-regulated sword, they still have to go their own way. I have never liked killing people, but I have never been afraid of killing people. The hall can be destroyed for the first time, and naturally there will be a second time, Guanguan, you still have contact with those people in the Jianqi Lingkong hall, tell them my words, my patience can only wait until the end of July, Going into August, I don't mind borrowing a knife to kill someone."

After finishing speaking, Xu Beiyou left straight away.

Jianqi Lingkongtang, the name is very domineering, and it also has a sense of being out of the dust, which matches Jianzong very well.But in fact, to put it bluntly, it is an existence similar to the Daomen Zhenmo Temple and the imperial court's secret guard, specializing in some shady "dirty jobs", such as eradicating dissidents, assassinating hostile dignitaries, and killing in the shadows , so Xu Beiyou regards them as a murderous blood sword, but now this sword is no longer as sharp as it used to be, at best it can only be regarded as a broken sword.

Such a broken sword is not Zhu Xian, and he is not qualified to bargain with Jianzong.

After Xuanyi left Gongsun Mansion, he was full of worries along the way, and came to Tianxiangfang, which is not far from Ronghuafang. There is a medium-sized private house in the northeast corner of Tianxiangfang, and this is the foothold of their group.

Yujia Swordsman, the head of the twelve swordsmen in Jianqi Lingkong Hall, is here.

Yu Jia, whose real name and surname are no longer available, and so is his age. About 30 years ago, he suddenly appeared beside Gongsun Zhongmou, and was regarded by Gongsun Zhongmou as the first-class confidant. After Ling Kongtang, he was the number one swordsman. The realm he usually reveals in front of people is about the cultivation base of the peak human immortal, but many people secretly speculate that this Yujia swordsman should have the cultivation base of the earth immortal realm Otherwise, I would be too sorry for the title of the number one swordsman.

After seeing Yu Jia who was waiting here, Xuan Yi conveyed exactly what Xu Beiyou had said.

"Did he really say that?" After listening to Yu Jia, he smiled and said, "It's a big tone, but he does have the confidence now, not to mention the three on the Jiangnan side, there is also a princess on the Jiangbei side Your Highness and a secondary assistant are really not to be underestimated."

From Yu Jia's point of view, Xu's current journey to the north has initially been integrated into the category of aristocratic families, because he has a master from the Gongsun family, one of the five great families, and an adoptive father who has reached the top of the temple, which has helped him invisibly. The most difficult first step has been taken.

After some humble scholars gained power, they were still looked down upon by the nobles from the bottom of their hearts, and it took at least three generations to change from a humble family to a noble family. Because of the two old men, Xu Beiyou easily passed the Han clan. With this huge threshold, it is only logical that he will be accepted by the nobles of the aristocratic family.

As long as he is recognized as one of his own by the nobles of the aristocratic family, the future road will naturally be much easier.Take Xu Beiyou's desire to marry Xiao Zhinan as an example. If Xu Beiyou was just a child of the Han clan, the resistance to marrying the princess would be unimaginable. A big character can crush a person to death, but if Xu Beiyou is also a child of an aristocratic family, then he is in accordance with the etiquette and each uses his own means.

This is to put it in a small way, but if you talk about it in a big way, the reason why all the aristocratic families headed by the Xie family would help each other when Emperor Xiao competed in the world, in addition to the reason of Conglong, there is also a large part of the reason because of Xiao Huang. The emperor was born in the Xiao family in the eastern capital, and he is also a high-ranking family with an orderly inheritance. His wife Lin Yinping is also the daughter of the Lin family in the grassland.Even the few princes who competed in the world back then were all from high-ranking families, and the real humble reckless people almost rose and died at will, which really fulfilled the prophecy that opened the way for the true king.

If Huang Xiao and his wife were just white clothes back then, these aristocratic families would never have watched him sit in that seat.

Because of this, almost all the masters in this world are from high-ranking families.

Emperor Xiao was born in the Xiao family of the eastern capital. His ancestor was Xiao Lin, the founding king of the former Dazheng Dynasty. His chief assistant, Lan Yu, was born in the Lan family of the eastern capital. Although the Wei family's reputation is relatively unknown, it is also a scholarly family that has produced several famous scholars and scholars.

As for the sect, Qiu Ye, the head teacher of Taoism, was born in the Ye family of Wei State, the previous abbot of Buddhism was born in the Mu family of Northeast China, the leader of Xuanjiao Murong Xuanyin was born in the Murong family of Wei State, and the suzerain of Jianzong Shangguan Xianchen and Gongsun Zhongmou were respectively born in Wei State. The Shangguan family and the Gongsun family hardly have any commoner children.

This is the notion of aristocrats that has been formed for thousands of years, and it is difficult to shake it even if the gods come to the world.

The reality is so cruel, there are not so many rising stars, the world is always in the hands of the aristocratic family, so if a small person like Xu Beiyou wants to become a master, the first thing to do is to integrate into the category of the aristocratic family.

"You mean Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyang?" Xuan Yi asked.

"This is your highness the princess." Yu Jia smiled and said, "Among the four princesses in Daqi, the eldest princess Yongjia is the most famous. After all, she was the queen of Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty. Especially Princess Qiyang, many dignitaries in the imperial capital now want her to be their daughter-in-law, Duanmu Ruisheng and Duanmuyu father and son have spent a lot of trouble on this, it can be seen that this woman is not just because of a princess His identity is so valued, and he must have his own merits."

Xuan Yi nodded and said: "I do know a thing or two about this. Before the master went to Biyou Island, he met Her Royal Highness the princess. It seems that it was because of Xu Beiyou's matter. Later, it was reported that Xu Beiyou was favored by Princess Qiyang from Jiangnan. It’s not entirely groundless.”

Yu Jia said with emotion: "The girls of the Xiao family have never been afraid of the etiquette, and they don't have to be afraid of the etiquette. As long as they don't get involved in the matter of raising their faces, spreading rumors is trivial. After all, the princess is the king, and the son-in-law is the minister. , how can there be any reason for a minister to pick on the emperor, now is not the time for the emperor to choose his ministers and his ministers, is it the king's land under the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land, it seems that our young master is determined The idea is to go to the mountain of the imperial court."

Xuan Yi also sighed and said: "Rather than the imperial court, it is better to say that it is the Xiao family of the Tian family."

Yu Jia calmly said: "The master had this idea when he was still alive, and even had some contact with that person through Xiao Mahe. Now that Xu Beiyou mentions it, it's just following the master's old way, which is nothing."

At this moment, a man with a sword behind him quickly approached the hall, and handed Xuan Yi a palm-wide note.

Xuan Yi glanced around, his face became a little dignified, and said: "Xu Beiyou asked Song Guanguan to send us a message, asking us to make a decision before August."

Yu Jia was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "He has courage, it seems that he has made up his mind."

Xuan Yi smiled wryly and said: "The situation is very unfavorable to us. A southern ghost emperor died at the Taoist gate, and he will not act rashly for the time being. Murong Xuanyin's attitude towards Xu Beiyou is very unpredictable. On the other hand, Xu Beiyou has now got the support of the mistress and Support, if you really want to deal a cruel blow, the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall doesn't have much parrying power, and then we will only have to die."

Yu Jia pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Since Xu Beiyou already has the capital to do it, but he has not done it for a long time, it means that he still has the idea of ​​taking the Sword Qi Lingkongtang into his hands, after all, what belongs to someone else is still someone else's." , only what is in his hands is his own, he wants to gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, and our Sword Qi Lingkong Hall is indispensable."

Xuan Yi asked: "Then what should we do?"

Yu Jia said indifferently: "Let Chi Bing, that stupefied young man, test the depth of the test first, and see if Xu Beiyou really has the means of thunder, or is the bluff thunderous and rainy. Let's just sit on the sidelines and wait and see what happens."

Xuan Yi thought for a while, then nodded heavily.
