That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 893 Do You Want To Drink My Wine?

Cang Yun sneered and said: "One person is indeed like that, and he deserves to die, but the other person never thought of betraying Jianzong, but just wanted to live a stable life, but he still died. Is this also wrong?"

Zhang Yuping said with a blank expression: "If you don't want to go to the Taoist sect, you can just say it in advance. In this kind of matter, Jianzong will never be reluctant. But if you want to regret it after going to the Taoist sect, then there is no such reason. The matter is of great importance, and Jianzong can't tolerate such a reason."

Cang Yun picked up the chopsticks again, and said slowly: "If I hadn't been favored by the master and accepted as a disciple, I'm afraid I would have died, silently, and inexplicably. I have been curious all these years, Jianzong has been weakened to this point, why is he still able to kill people in Daomen, and can hide from the sight of the Demon Town Palace? From this point of view, even when Jianzong was at its peak, it was difficult to do it."

Zhang Yuping smiled and pondered, "Whether this is true or not, Jianzong and Daomen are a family. In fact, many people on both sides are betting on their own, just like Xiao Shen back then. When Jianzong was powerful, he returned to Jianzong. At the same time, both sides are putting nails in each other. However, the former Taoist sect was very cautious. The Department of Punishment and the Temple of Demon Suppression sorted out the interior. I dare not say that splashing water will not enter, but it is difficult for us to make a difference. Until recent years, the Taoist sect has become more and more powerful. To put it nicely, all the talents from all over the world have entered my boss. To put it bluntly, it is that rivers and mud are flowing, fish and dragons are mixed, and at the same time, the Temple of Demon Suppression suppresses the Department of Punishment extremely badly. Focusing only on the outside and not on the inside, let alone put the Jianzong who is not as good as before, on the contrary, it gave us an opportunity to take advantage of."

Cang Yun took another mouthful of rice with chopsticks, and said softly, "I see."

Zhang Yuping smiled, pointed to Li Shentong next to her, and said, "Come back to business, you must have guessed that this is Li Shentong, the founder of our suzerain."

Cang Yun swallowed the food in his mouth, narrowed his eyes, "Suzerain?"

Li Shentong was confident that he had his master by his side, and he was not at all afraid of this real Daoist, so he snorted heavily.

Zhang Yuping did not get angry, and said softly: "Don't you know? The young master stepped into the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth immortal, and stepped aside for the suzerain. The young master has become the suzerain of the sword sect."

Cang Yun was noncommittal, looked at Xu Beiyou who had never spoken, and said slowly: "Then what is this person's identity?"

Xu Beiyou finally said, "I am from the court."

Cang Yun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.He had seen that this person had a good demeanor before, either he was a monk in the realm of the immortals who was hiding deep, or he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time, which made him a little curious. Although he hadn't been in Jianzong for a long time, he didn't remember There used to be such a person, it must be known that today's Jianzong is not the previous Jianzong, there are only a few real masters, all of them are people with names and surnames, they are not as profound as the Daoist sect, and somewhere in the corner there is a A real person who lives in seclusion.

But since he is a member of the imperial court, it makes sense.After all, the Daqi court is the master of the world, and its profound heritage is not inferior to that of Taoism. It can be seen from the fact that the three generations of emperors are all invincible in the world.If it is said that there are still some masters who have never made a move in the Daqi court, it is not only expected, but also reasonable.

Cang Yun pushed the empty bowl in front of him and murmured: "Sure enough, Jianzong has boarded the imperial ship."

Xu Beiyou frowned slightly, and asked, "Do you have prejudice against the imperial court?"

Cang Yun didn't answer this question, but asked instead: "Since you are a member of the imperial court, you should know that if Xiao Yu hadn't made a move back then, Shangguan Xianchen, the ancestor of Jianzong, would not have fallen by the river, if it hadn't been for the common cause Enemy Daomen, Jianzong will never join forces with the imperial court."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "At the time of the death of the Great Sword Immortal, each had his own position, life and death were up to fate, not to mention grievances, but it was the Daoist sect that really made the sword sect irreversible."

Cang Yun suddenly raised his head, and looked directly at Xu Beiyou without hesitation.

Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Zhang Yuping, go and ask for a jug of wine."

Zhang Yuping got up immediately and left. After a while, she brought a jug of wine and two sea bowls from the counter, "The wine here is sold in the forum regardless of the jug. The Huadiao wine that has been cellared for three years is not bad."

Xu Beiyou nodded, motioning for her to put the wine jar and sea bowl on the table.

Then Xu Beiyou personally patted open the mud seal of the wine jar, poured a bowl full for Cang Yun, and said slowly: "You have eaten Jianzong's meal, would you like to drink my bowl of wine?"

Xu Beiyou didn't mention the imperial court's wine, nor did he mention Jianzong's wine, it was just his own wine.

Cang Yun stared at Xu Beiyou, without speaking for a long time.

Xu Beiyou turned a blind eye, filled another bowl for himself, then took it up and drank it down.

Ever since his master left, he has broken his drinking commandment and has done everything he can.

After a long time, Cang Yun said word by word: "Who are you?"

Since he took his seat, Xu Beiyou hasn't said any harsh words, and occasionally he speaks calmly, which is far less than Zhang Yuping's hidden needles in the cotton, but Cang Yun is not afraid of Zhang Yuping at all, on the contrary, he dare not take Xu Beiyou who doesn't talk much Well, the more sophisticated and noble the person is, the less they say, because their words are more weighty and more precious, the so-called words are worth a thousand dollars, but that's all.

It wasn't until this moment that Cang Yun suddenly realized that among the three of them, the leader was not Zhang Xueyao's confidant Zhang Yuping, nor Xu Beiyou's disciple Li Shentong, but this middle-aged man with gray temples.

Xu Beiyou said softly: "My surname is Xu, my double name is Beiyou, and my nickname is Nangui. I am the emperor's son-in-law and the No. 15 suzerain of Jianzong."

Cang Yun's heart was shaken suddenly.

He never expected that it was Xu Beiyou who came to see him in person.

Although he expressed disdain for Xu Beiyou on his lips, he had to admit in his heart that the two of them were no longer equals, and it would be more or less the same if they were replaced by his master Qiuye.

Cang Yun didn't speak, and Xu Beiyou said to himself: "As early as 20 years ago, you were favored by the master. After careful training, you were sent to the Taoist sect. You were originally an outer disciple. The head teacher Qiuye took a fancy to him, accepted him as the tenth disciple, and gave him the Taoist name Cangyun, so I should still call you Senior Brother."

After a long silence, Cang Yun sneered and said, "I can't afford to be a senior brother of Sect Master Xu."

Xu Beiyou said: "You entered Jianzong earlier than me, and your aptitude is also better. Do you feel dissatisfied because Master didn't hand over the twelve swords of Jianzong to you?"

Cang Yun took a deep breath, and said slowly: "There is nothing dissatisfied, I have figured out one thing a long time ago, if you want to fight against Taoism, you must join hands with the court, so the next successor of Jianzong needs to be a member of the court In the officialdom, stepping on the low and holding the high is the norm, but playing casual chess and cooking cold stoves are also profound knowledge, so the old suzerain chose you. The first time he met you was the old cold stove burning Hange , It was also a step of idle chess on you, and the fact is exactly as the old suzerain expected, Han Ge returned to the temple in the 20th year of Taiping, and the cold stove became hot, and your idle chess has become the most important thing today. That's the point."

Xu Beiyou remained silent.

Cang Yun smiled and said with emotion: "I don't have a biological father who is a relative of the state, nor an adoptive father who is in the pavilion. How could the old suzerain give me the Twelve Swords of Jianzong?"

Xu Beiyou was indifferent to the faint sarcasm in this sentence, and said flatly: "I have a greater opportunity than you, but I also carry a heavier burden than you. I don't want to make excuses. I just want to ask you now. Wine, do you want to drink or not?"
