That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 82

This name is destined to be an unforgettable memory that Xu Beiyou will remember in his life, but when he thinks of the huge gap between the two, Xu Beiyou feels depressed and feels powerless at the same time. Although she is in a high position, she does not despise herself. The distance between them is really too far, Xu Beiyou is eager to marry such a woman, even if she is willing, there is still the mountain of old man, not to mention that she has not shown any other feelings so far.

This woman, who has seen the world, has almost the most noble family background in the world, her arrogance is almost permeated to the bone, she is approachable to people who don't know the details, but she is indifferent to the flattery of all men.

Xu Beiyou really didn't know what kind of expert could subdue such evildoers.

After Xiao Zhinan reported his name, he had no intention of leaving, and said softly: "The ancient battlefield I went to last time was the place where the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army fought. In that battle, the Xiao Clan in the Northwest was almost overthrown. The final result It was the Northeast Mu Clan who smashed their halberds on the Xihe Plain. After this battle, the Northeast Mu Clan no longer had the strength to compete in the world, so they could only hide in a corner of the Northeast, watching helplessly as the Northwest Xiao Clan entered the pass and swept the world. These Over the past few years, the Mu family has been in decline, and there is no longer the grand occasion when it competed with the Xiao family."

Xu Beiyou asked suspiciously, "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "The shepherds are not reconciled, they don't want to sit and wait for death, they don't want to watch the Xiao family cannibalize the shepherds little by little, so when they still have enough capital in their hands, they will choose to fight to the death and win If you want to regain the glory of the pastoral family, or even go one step further, if you lose, you will die vigorously."

Xu Beiyou frowned, and said, "You mean, the Mu family will rebel, and we, master and apprentice, are playing with fire?"

Xiao Zhinan smiled, turned around with his hands behind his back like a man, looked at the lake outside the pavilion, and said, "I don't like the word "playing with fire". The emperor, it is only by surviving from death and death that he came to this beautiful country. How far a person can see depends on how high he stands. They feel that the world is like a chessboard, and everything is a chess piece. But those of us who are struggling in the mundane world can’t stand high enough and can’t see clearly, so we can only climb up. This process is nothing more than three results, climbing up If you become a master above ten thousand people, you can't climb up, and you can be an ordinary person with peace of mind. If you miss halfway, you will fall into the abyss, and you will never recover."

Xiao Zhinan, who has the momentum to point out the country, expressed his feelings. Maybe it was because there were not many people to speak of on this journey, or maybe it was because she saw a spirit of striving upwards from Xu Beiyou, so she For the first time, she said a lot of words in front of Xu Beiyou, so many that she herself felt that she was a little too shallow.

Xu Beiyou listened carefully, and said thoughtfully, "Thinking about it carefully, this is really the case."

Xiao Zhinan's eyes lit up a little, and the chatter that had faded away became intense again, "Xu Beiyou, you are fine, follow Gongsun Zhongmou down, although this is a rough path, it is also a shortcut for climbing, as long as you are not around If you stumbled and fell off a cliff in the middle, then I believe that one day you will be able to climb to the top of the mountain and enjoy the infinite scenery on it. My father once said that there is no shortage of heroes and heroes in this world. That's why heroes and heroes can emerge in troubled times. Now that Gongsun Zhongmou has set up a platform for you, don't waste his painstaking efforts."

Xu Beiyou was dumbfounded when he heard this, doesn't it mean that this girl doesn't know what her master and apprentice are doing?It is so calm and calm, and there is encouragement, is it possible that all interesting women are so interesting?
Xiao Zhinan seemed to have guessed what Xu Beiyou was thinking, and explained: "The matter between you and your master is something that the Dark Guard should worry about. I'm just a little girl waiting to get married. I don't care about these things."

Xu Beiyou hesitated to speak.

Xiao Zhinan seemed to know what he wanted to say, he waved his hands and said, "No matter how big this river and lake is, it is not as big as the world, and if you say the world, you can't get around a temple. That's all I have to say, so you can do it yourself in the future."

After the words were finished, Xiao Zhinan turned and left leisurely, still with his hands behind his back.

Xu Beiyou stayed here for another half an hour, then turned around and returned to Qinglianju.

According to Mutangzhi's intention, this Qinglianju was originally intended for Xiao Zhinan, but Xiao Zhinan refused, and instead lived in Qinglingju, which is opposite Qinglianju.

In the middle of Qinglian, Xu Beiyou sat on a grand teacher's chair and opened a book of Taiping Huanyu Ji. Gongsun Zhongmou gave him all kinds of classics, including things in the world of practice that are difficult for ordinary people to touch, as well as world geography and temples. Disputes, all-encompassing, all-encompassing, do not lie in the essence, but in a word.

The [-]-volume Taiping Huanyu Ji can be said to be the longest book Xu Beiyou has read. Almost every page of the book has been punctuated and annotated by him. , is already commendable.

Not long after, Song Guanguan came back, poked his head out from the door, glanced at the young master who was studying, and retracted his head again.

Xu Beiyou imitated his master and snorted, "Come here."

Song Guanguan tiptoed into the room, looked up at him, then lowered his head, and whispered, "Master."

Xu Beiyou kept a straight face on purpose, "Where did you go?"

Song Guanguan pinched the corner of his clothes, "The suzerain asked me to contact Sword Master Ghost Ding, and plans to build Daliang City in the near future."

Xu Beiyou hummed, but did not speak.

Song Guanguan lowered his head, rolled his eyes, raised his head slightly, and asked pointedly: "My lord, have you seen that guy over there today?"

"That one?" Xu Beiyou was taken aback for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "How do you know?"

Song Guanguan said softly: "The suzerain said that the son will have a big or small fate and fortune today, so he let me avoid it. The suzerain also asked the servants to tell the son that the imperial court once set up a secret organization called Peony. If the duty of the secret guard is not as expected by the suzerain, Mudan should be in the hands of Qinglingju now."

Xu Beiyou's expression softened slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Tianlan.

Seeing it, Xu Beiyou would think of the old man who gave it to him, think of that windy summer, that cliff, and that summer cicada.

Although the two are masters and apprentices, Xu Beiyou has always been unable to see the whole picture of the master. The old man has carried too many secrets. Even if the old man is willing to teach him everything, it will be a very long process for Xu Beiyou to fully accept it.

Staring at the Tianlan Sword, Xu Beiyou's thoughts drifted away, and he was in a daze.

Song Guanguan quietly raised his head and tilted his head to look at him with a cute look.

At this time, Qingling was in the middle, and Xiao Zhinan was lying on a small-leaf red sandalwood reclining chair, with his hands folded on his lower abdomen, and his eyes closed to rest.

A woman dressed as a maid half-kneeled in front of her without saying a word.

About half an hour later, Xiao Zhinan slowly opened his eyes, and took from the woman's hand a dossier with freshly dried ink.

This is the past information of Gongsun Zhongmou and his party. Among them, Xu Beiyou has the least information, while Gongsun Zhongmou has the most information. However, Xiao Zhinan hardly read Gongsun Zhongmou's chapters, and was only interested in Xu Beiyou's small chapters.From the time he appeared in Danxia Village to the time he left Julu City, the content on the dossier was just a dozen or so words, outlining the image of a young man who had just come out of a small place.

Xiao Zhinan closed the file, and said to the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Yinzhu, send someone to Danxia Village, and then check Xu Beiyou's previous situation, be careful, don't disturb the Demon Town Hall and the Dark Guard Mansion, in the afternoon Don't bother me anymore, I plan to be quiet for a while, as for the evening, if possible, I will invite Xu Beiyou to come over."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhinan waved his hand.

The half-kneeling woman finally got up and stepped back silently.

Gongsun Zhongmou only told Xu Beiyou that Xiao Zhinan had a mysterious peony under his command, but he didn't tell him that Xiao Zhinan also had five beautiful personal maids named Yinzhu, Qiuguang, Huaping, Qingluo and Liuying.
