That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 720

Xu Beiyou asked straight to the point, "What did my master and mother regret?"

Shangguan Qiushui said with a smile: "Young Master Xu, why don't you guess?"

Xu Beiyou didn't say a word, just thoughtful.

Shangguan Qiushui got bored, and said, "After all, this is our own business. You, Xu Beiyou, belong to the Xu family. You shouldn't get involved. Moreover, the Zhang family and the Gongsun family have been destroyed, so they are the ones who are out of the game. They It is reasonable to regret it.”

The five aristocratic families of the Wei State have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are even more detached from the world than the Taoist sects who have taken the initiative to enter the world many times. No matter how chaotic the world is, they can still enjoy leisurely in their own small world, just sitting in front of the court and watching quietly. The flowers bloom and wither.

A wealthy family pays attention to the fact that the country can perish, but the family cannot perish.It is nothing if the country is destroyed, but if the family is destroyed, it is a major event that the world will collapse. In their eyes, this is the destruction of the world.Adhering to these concepts, the five families of the Wei State have been passed down for thousands of years, but at the end of the Zheng Dynasty, a small situation happened. Became the suzerain of Jianzong, and made Weiguo a vassal of Jianzong, and the five great families who had always been aloof were also forcibly tied to the big ship of Jianzong.Once Jianzong was overturned, the five great families could only flee for their lives. Those with good water skills struggled to climb ashore, and those who were unlucky could only sink to the bottom of the water with the big ship of Jianzong.

Zhang and Gongsun are the two unfortunate people.

The remaining three families are no longer in the same spirit as they were in the past, and only seem to be in harmony, so many of the plans in the past have become dust in the waste paper pile, and no one is willing to mention it anymore. With Shangguan Jinhong, Shangguan Qinghong, Gongsun Bofu , Gongsun Zhongmou and others passed away one after another, and even fewer and fewer people knew about it.

Among the very few insiders, Qiuye and Murongxuan must be included. As for how Shangguan Qiushui knew, it's a secret.

In the small courtyard, the spring breeze blew, and the two fell into a long silence.

Xu Beiyou recovered from his contemplation, and asked calmly, "What did the five families of the State of Wei want to seek? The world?"

Shangguan Qiushui was slightly surprised and said: "It seems that you are not stupid, but you are still a bit short."

Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice, "I'm in a hurry to come to Wei country this time, and I don't have time to go around in circles with you."

Shangguan Qiushui glanced behind Xu Beiyou, raised his brows, "I heard that Mr. Xu has a sword case, in which there are countless swords, why haven't you seen it?"

Xu Beiyou raised his hand, and a sword box flew over from the previous hall, and landed not far behind him.

Xu Beiyou said coldly: "The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten. Do you want to see my Zhu Xian again?"

Shangguan Qiushui pretended to be terrified and said: "I heard that after the birth of Zhu Xian, there will be a vision of heaven and earth changing. Why didn't Mr. Xu's imperial envoy Zhu Xian have such a vision? Is the legend wrong, or Mr. Xu's ability to control the sword is not good enough? "

But at the next moment, her voice stopped abruptly.

I saw that the sword box had been opened at some point, and Zhu Xian's black sword was less than three inches away from the tip of her nose. At the same time, two streams of sword energy, one purple and one blue, wound around her neck, just forming a circle. As long as Xu Beiyou moves lightly, her head can be removed.

Xu Beiyou didn't explain anything, but just looked at this confident woman coldly.

Zhu Xian is like a wild horse. Before it is familiar with taming, it is naturally violent like thunder. When it comes out of the box, the sword energy will soar into the sky.

Now that Xu Beiyou can control Zhu Xian freely, naturally he will not take the initiative to cause any visions of heaven and earth to attract the attention of others, and ask for trouble.

It's just that this woman is too ignorant of good and evil. After knowing that she has what Xu Beiyou wants to know, she is sure that Xu Beiyou will not dare to kill her, and she keeps provoking her. This makes Xu Beiyou's patience run out. , the sharp sword energy cut a thin "red line" on her face, and at the same time, the two purple-blue sword energy suddenly gathered, cutting off a strand of her long hair.

This is really a thought of life and death, the life or death of this Shangguan woman is just in Xu Beiyou's thought.

Shangguan Qiushui had no reason to recall what his father, Shangguan Jinhong, had said when he was still alive, those people in Jianzong were all lunatics who drew their swords and killed people at every turn, there was no reason to talk to them.

Just when she thought Xu Beiyou would kill her even if the secrets in the pile of waste paper were completely wiped out, Xu Beiyou suddenly retracted Zhu Xian and closed the sword box again.

She reached out to wipe the bright red blood on the tip of her nose, feeling terrified.

For her, the eldest lady of the Shangguan family, who was pampered and pampered since she was a child, this kind of life-and-death experience was too strange, and at the same time too terrifying.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "It is a labor-intensive task to envoy Zhu Xian, I don't want Zhu Xian to come out of the box for the second time."

Shangguan Qiushui's complexion fluctuated, and in the end he didn't dare to confront him again, and said softly, "I'm very clear about the details. I only know that every family in the Central Plains had buried chess pieces in advance, because one of my aunts married into the Gongsun, so I know that the chess piece chosen by Gongsun is Yang Bo Fu. In fact, Yang Bo Fu is indeed unexpected. "

Xu Beiyou nodded and said: "According to what you said, the real Yang Bofu died in the prince's treason case, and the Yang Bofu who appeared later was another person. It's just that the Emperor Shenzong of Zheng had passed away at that time, and there was no one there. People knew whether the Yangbofu was dead or alive, and there were many rumors that the Yangbofu was not dead, so this fake Yangbofu was logically replaced by Li Tao."

Shangguan Qiushui said softly: "Our five great families never put eggs in one basket. Back then, the two brothers of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Bofu and Gongsun Zhongmou, since Gongsun Zhongmou was favored by Shangguan Xianchen and worshiped him in the sword Zong, then Gongsun Bofu has to go another way, so that no matter which side wins, the Gongsun family will not lose completely, and there is no room for recovery."

Xu Beiyou frowned. According to the clues he knew now, Gongsun Bofu should be Yangbofu. The family released the rumor that Yang Bofu was still alive, laying the groundwork for Yang Bofu's "resurrection" in the future. Twenty years later, Xiao Huang led an army into the Eastern Capital. Leaving the Kingdom of Wei to go to the Eastern Capital, serving under Xiao Huang's command as Yang Bo Fu, and it is very likely that even Master Gongsun Zhongmou didn't know about this matter!

Xu Beiyou suddenly asked: "Does Xiao Jin know the true identity of Yang Bofu?"

Shangguan Qiushui hesitated and said, "According to reason, King Wei should not know about this, but..."

Xu Beiyou sneered and said, "But with Wei Wang's method, I think he should have known it a long time ago. Otherwise, why would he want to completely wipe out the Gongsun family after killing Yang Bofu? In the final analysis, it is a means of killing people to silence them to prevent future troubles."

Shangguan Qiushui was noncommittal about this, "As for the big plan between the five families back then, because I was still young at the time, I only knew a few words. It seems that the Murong family was the main one in this matter."

Murong's.

Xu Beiyou immediately thought of the teacher's wife.
