That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 41

In today's world, there is an obscure but widely circulated saying that the two saints rule the world together.

The so-called two saints refer to His Majesty the Emperor and Zhenren Zhangjiao. One holds the supreme power within the secular world, and the other holds the highest status outside the secular world. Together, they control the entire world.

But since ancient times, there has been another saying that the sky has no double sun, and the country has no two masters.

The conflict between the imperial court and the Taoist sect due to power is destined to be difficult to mediate.When Xiao Yu was still alive, he and Daoist Master Daoist were close friends, and most of the founding heroes of the court and the elders of the Daoist sect were old friends who once conquered the world together. Incense love, can still maintain harmony.

It's just that with Xiao Yu's passing away and the older generation gradually withering, the later successors lost their love, so they didn't want to maintain this kind of harmonious relationship.Especially the current Xiao Emperor, he is Xiao Huang's son, although he will take into account the thoughts of his father's veterans, but there will be a limit to this consideration and tolerance.

When the old people such as Zhuanlun King and Li Jinge are completely dead, that is when the court and the Taoist sect tear off the last bit of tenderness.

But fortunately, a large part of the elders are still alive, and they still hold a lot of power. Emperor Xiao is not Emperor Xiao, and his prestige is not enough to overwhelm so many elders.More importantly, even though Emperor Xiao is gone, Master Zhangjiao and Sapphire are still there. They are like two needles that suppress the Taoist sect and the imperial court respectively.

Of course, there will be those who fight among the older generation, and those who will fight among the young people. It cannot be absolutely generalized.

In today's Xiliang Governor's Mansion, strictly speaking, there are three main peace factions, Ye Zui, Li Jinge and Zhuan Lun Wang. There is only one main battle faction, Lu Chen, and because the situation is stronger than others, this main battle faction has to Temporarily turned into the main peace faction, so after Li Jinge said this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The negotiation went smoothly. After Li Jinge set the overall tone, he logically identified the culprit as the remnants of the Sword Sect. This is a summary of the previous events. Dian admits to this result, and the Dark Guard House needs to show more sincerity, which is what King Zhuanlun said "give an explanation to the Taoist sect", this is the core of this negotiation.

The previous mutual testing and chatting and laughing were all for the final final decision.

Junlun King leaned on the back of the chair, it seemed that he was young only on the outside, his inside was already as decayed as Li Jinge, and he could hardly hide his fatigue, and said slowly: "The inspector is dead."

Lu Chen withdrew the friendly look on his face, showing the aura of a high-ranking official in the frontier, and said calmly: "Dead in the hands of the remnants of the Sword Sect."

Both of them tacitly did not mention the intrigue in the Longmen Inn.

Zhuanlun Wang said with a smile: "It's not surprising that the judge died in the hands of the remnants of the sword sect. After all, the remnants of the sword sect who survived many times of pursuit and suppression are all masters above the human fairy realm, and he is just a mere ghost." Immortal Realm. But Po Meng specifically mentioned to me a young man named Xu Beiyou. It is said that the young man also has a master. "

Lu Chen nodded and said, "On the night of the Chonglongguan incident, an old man and a young man also showed up."

Zhuanlun Wang lightly tapped the armrest with his left index finger, propped his chin with his right hand, and said thoughtfully: "They took Zhiyun away, and when the time comes, the remnants of the old sword sect should also start cultivating successors. "

Hearing this, Lu Chen finally felt a little relieved, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, dispelling the haze.After all, the Dark Guard Mansion is the loser in this wrestling. If you can’t win on the battlefield, you can’t get it back on the negotiating table. If you can bring the endgame to a safe conclusion, you have already met your expectations, and it’s not bad that Zhuanlun Wang specifically mentioned Zhiyun. A silent warning, so it is wise to accept it as soon as it is good.

Lu Chen's voice was slightly low, showing his sincerity, but also mixed with a bit of pain, and he grasped the fire just right, so that this pain would not turn into gloating, "Chonglong Temple is located in the capital city, but it was destroyed by the remnants of the Sword Sect. Go to Manmen, the Northwest Dark Guard Mansion has the responsibility of guarding, and it is hard to shirk the blame, so I have specially prepared a small gift, I dare not ask the Daomen for generosity, I only ask to comfort the spirit of the dead in heaven."

The Wheel-Running King slightly changed his sitting posture, and finally he felt a bit upright.

He made no objection, which means acquiescing.

Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh. The success of the peace talks also means that the Northwest Dark Guard Mansion has failed completely, leaving only the last layer of fig leaf. Even the seat of the governor's office has been crumbling.

Lu Chen picked up the rosewood wooden box that he brought with him from the side, and even through the wooden box, he could feel the strong sword energy in it. The chill was chilling, and he said softly: "This sword was obtained from a master of the sword sect. The sword is three feet and four inches long, the hilt is three inches long, its shape is simple and elegant, the body of the sword is pale white, the band and head of the sword are black, and it is extremely sharp, it is the best sword weapon in the world."

Zhuanlun Wang straightened up, with a dignified expression on his face, and said softly, "It's an inexplicable sword."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Not bad."

Turning Wheel King looked at the sword box in Lu Chen's hand, with a satisfied look on his face for the first time, and said with a smile: "The Dark Guard House is indeed very sincere."

Lu Chen put down the sword box in his hand, and took out a heavy file. He hesitated, and said slowly: "This is the information on the remnants of the Sword Sect collected by the Northwest Dark Guard Mansion in the past 20 years, and it will be handed over to the Town Demon Palace today. , I hope that the Town Demon Palace can make good use of it, eradicate the remnants of the Sword Sect as soon as possible, and use Xue Xue's revenge today."

The Wheel-Running King got up and took the heavy file, his face was extremely solemn, and he said nothing.

In his opinion, this dossier is more precious than the inexplicable sword. Over the years, Gongsun Zhongmou has joined forces in all directions, and the Town Demon Palace is not unaware of it, but suffers from the fact that its own manpower is expensive or not. It is okay to hunt and kill, but When it comes to collecting intelligence, it is far behind the Secret Guard Mansion, which claims to have 20 people.

Lu Chen's move could be said to be what he liked, and it was difficult for the runner king to refuse.

Ye Zui, who had been silent all this time, sighed softly, "Lord Lu is so generous."

Lu Chen laughed it off, stood up and held the sword box in both hands, and handed it to the King of the Wheel, his tone became low and peaceful, "King of the Wheel, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it has already alarmed the Taoist sect and the court. If the situation is allowed to continue, Whether you are the wheel-turning king or I, Lu Chen, you will become pawns in the game, and you can't help yourself. So I hope that this matter will be settled as of today. Don't leave any tails, after all, the future will be long, right? "

Zhuanlun Wang handed over the sword case and file to Ye Zui, and was silent in thought.

Lu Chen, who was wearing a flying fish suit, waited quietly for the reply from the King of the Wheel.

Li Jinge nodded slightly at the wheel-running king, hoping that he would agree.

After a long time, Zhuan Lun Wang finally had a smile on his face again, the murderous intent in the smile was fleeting, he nodded and said: "I have a request, the Dark Guard Mansion will cooperate with the Town Demon Palace to hunt down the two remnants of the Sword Sect. "

Lu Chen said softly: "Okay."
