"Eldest brother, I don't understand. Is the sect going to be disbanded?" Xiao Qi was still young after all. He pulled Liu Xin's sleeve. In the entire Holy Sect, he relied on his senior brother the most, even more than his own master. Even more dependent.
Liu Xin frowned, even he was not very clear about the current situation. So he searched with his eyes, trying to find the senior brother from the Tianzi generation.
"Liu Xin, stop looking. Chai Junfeng followed the senior brother in. He is not prepared to give us a way to survive!" A senior brother from the Tianzi generation noticed Liu Xin's gaze and explained to him.
Chai Junfeng is a senior of the Tianzi generation and a know-it-all. Among all the disciples, he is the most well-informed. The senior brother of the Tianzi generation calls him Yan Chun.
"Several seniors are out training, why are they all back this time?" Liu Xin respectfully asked this senior senior.
"Hey, we all received the urgent message from the secret investigation team. Except for a few guys who were too far away to come back, everyone else who could come back has come back. It seems that the sect is planning to kick out all the inner disciples this time My poor Xiao Qi, we don’t care, what are we going to do about this little guy like you!" This senior senior brother looked at Xiao Qi with a look of regret, and Xiao Qi was so frightened by his gaze that he shivered.
Xiao Qi's appearance caused several Tianzi senior brothers to burst into laughter, and Xiao Qi's face suddenly turned from white to red.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Senior Brother Yuan is joking with you. It's impossible for the sect to drive us away. Seeing that there is no worry on the faces of these senior brothers, nothing serious will happen. Don't worry. Even if something happens, Senior Brother will help you." You block it!"
Liu Xin repeatedly comforted Xiao Qi, who was so angry that he calmed down.
"Elder brother, I think the sect leader is playing a big game again, and this time even we are pawns."
Rokuro leaned into the group of characters and muttered softly.
"No way, how can we make chess pieces with our little weight? I'm just a pawn at best, and senior brother is barely a knight."
Siniang said leisurely, he was very worried about his fate.
"Siniang, you are the horse, senior brother is also a cannon!" Gou San'er defended Liu Xin.
"I think senior brother can take the car." Uncle Wu said.
"Why can't it be a general?" Xiong Er asked.
"Yes, senior brother is a general! I am fast and am a chariot. Xiong Er is a cannon. Si Niang is a prime minister, fifth uncle is a scholar, Liu Lang is a horse, and Xiao Qi is a pawn." Gou San'er laughed and assigned everyone Keep your status as a chess piece.
"Why am I a pawn? I don't want to be a pawn!" Xiao Qi said aggrievedly.
"Xiao Qi, what do you want to be?" Gou San'er asked.
"Xiao Qi doesn't do anything, just be a disciple of the Holy Sect!" Liu Xin gave Gou San'er a headache, cursed angrily, and then continued:
"My master doesn't like playing chess too much, and we won't be pawns at the mercy of others. I'll go in first later, and you guys will wait for my news."
"Okay." Several people said together.
Immediately afterwards, several senior brothers from the Tianzi generation entered the back room and did not come out again, which made Liu Xin's face look a little bad. It’s not like you went in and made a decision and then were forcibly sent away.
Liu Xin discovered this problem, and the other six people were not stupid. They also discovered this situation, but they did not say anything. Each of them had unconditional trust in the senior brother.
"Wait until I come back!" When Yan Chun knocked on the table in the back room to indicate that he could enter the next one, Liu Xin said forcefully and strode into the back room.
Entering the back room, Liu Xin saw Yan Chun lying on the desk writing furiously. When Liu Xin came in, Yan Chun looked up and when he saw it was Liu Xin, he smiled and said:
"Come on, come on, sit down, sit down!"
"Senior Brother Yan Chun, I won't sit down anymore. I can't sit still if I feel uneasy." Liu Xin said expressionlessly.
"If you are worried, please sit down first. Your situation is different from others. We need to have a good chat." Yan Chun said with a smile. He simply stopped the pen in his hand, put it down, and his body suddenly became stiff. Standing straight.
"Let me ask a question first. After I finish, can I go back to Xiong Er and the others?" Liu Xin asked seriously.
"Yes, why not? Things here are over, you can go wherever you like. When the time comes, just take office!" Yan Chun replied with a half-smile, but it could be seen that his eyes were still very sincere.
"That's good!" Liu Xin nodded and sat down. He felt that Yan Chun would not deceive him.
"Why are you so vigilant? What Mr. Zhai said is a bit scary. But in fact, it is not that serious. The sect just wants everyone to explore and develop in the fields they like. After all, you have all learned something. It’s time to go out and practice. It’s just that this experience is different from the previous ones. In the past, I could only rely on myself, but this time I have the full support of the sect!”
"It is because of the support of the sect that we are vigilant! Today's world is no longer the pure world it used to be. The intervention of Emperor Wu City has made the entire world treacherous. If you accidentally make a mistake, you will be plunged into an abyss, and even the bones will fall. Can’t see it.”
"The more you say it, the more outrageous it is! The sect has spent so much money training you, will you die? Besides, don't you know what kind of person the master is? Is it possible for him to make such a decision?" Yan Chun With an angry look on his face, Liu Xin's words were actually doubting his master, which Yan Chun didn't like.
"Senior brother! I am the eldest brother of the Earth Generation. Xiao Qi is only sixteen years old this year. I have to think about them. If they all have the experience and experience of the Tian Zi Generation, I will naturally not worry."
After hearing Liu Xin's reasonable explanation, Yan Chun's expression eased slightly, and he coughed lightly and said:
"The sect will not place any restrictions on this operation, but at the same time it will give you the greatest support. In other words, even if you don't want to leave the sect, it's okay to stay here. You just need to ask yourself Just think clearly for yourself.
If you have any questions, please wait until I finish explaining them to you. After hearing this, you can think about it again. Do you still need to worry about this or that? "
After hearing what Yan Chun said, Liu Xin could only nodded silently, but the doubts in his eyes still existed.
Yan Chun didn't look into Liu Xin's eyes, he was afraid that he would beat this bastard if he couldn't help it.
"As for your arrangement, it is actually the only one that has specific requirements for everyone. The first is the name of your contemporary disciple, senior brother. This identity cannot be lost, and I will replace it in the future. In theory, your generation has not yet been When it's time to leave the mountain and go down the mountain, so not only you, but also Xiong Er and six of them, there will be someone to take over for all seven of you.
I will replace you, and Xiong Er will be replaced by Chai Junfeng. Tsk tsk, this guy didn't want to go down the mountain. The center of the intelligence organization he cultivated was in Fair Town, so he chose to stay in the Holy Sect. You see, as long as it is your own choice, we will agree and will not force you! "
"Senior Brother Chai has replaced Xiong Er. What if Xiong Er wants to stay? Doesn't this force us to leave the sect?" Liu Xin showed his performance as a very good picky person.
Yan Chun's face fell, and he said solemnly: "Then replace Gou San'er!"
"What if Gou San'er wants to stay?"
"Then Si Niang!"
"Then what if Si Niang..."
"Why, you all decided to stay?" Yan Chun interrupted Liu Xin and asked viciously: "Do you think you can make the decision for your junior brothers? Everyone's path is shaped by countless choices. And all of these choices are yours to make! No one can make the decision for you, and the Master and the Council of Elders will not force you to make a choice."
Liu Xin remained silent, just looking at Yan Chun, who sighed and continued:
"The arrangements for you, the Earth Generation, are actually much looser than those for the Tian Zi Generation. Senior Brother Tian Zi, including me, must take the responsibility of finding a path for the Holy Sect, which is the kind of path that Mr. Zhai mentioned. You generation only need to live the way you want. I have all walks of life for you to choose from. You can be a farmer, a craftsman, or a teacher. You are still young, so you don’t need to Bear the responsibility of the Holy Sect, but you must bear the responsibility of being a fire! Your existence is to continue the Holy Sect. Therefore, except for you, the other six disciples can choose their own lives, even if they You can retire from the world and become an ordinary person from now on! Is that clear enough?"
When Liu Xin heard this, he no longer had any doubts. His expression eased and then became embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, he just asked about his arrangements.
When Yan Chun saw the look of embarrassment on Liu Xin's face, he knew that his words were still useful. He took out a specially marked red one from the yellow paper envelope at hand and handed it to Liu Xin and said:
"It's true that you are from the Earth generation, but you were adopted by the master since you were a child. You have spent more time in the Holy Sect than some of the disciples from the Tian generation. You are also the master's direct disciple, so you have more responsibilities on your shoulders. . For you, the master personally arranged a path. He said that this is the most suitable for you. You can keep the things yourself and burn them after you go back to see them. I am unaware of everyone's arrangements, so I don't know anything about you. I don’t have any suggestions. I’ve already said everything I want to say, do you have anything else to say?”
"I have one last question. After leaving the Holy Sect this time, can we still keep in touch with each other?"
"Okay, I said it. This operation can get the full support of the Holy Sect, and the secret investigation team will arrange a single line of contact for you. Only you can find these people, and these people have no connection with each other. In this way I can guarantee that your true identity will not be discovered by anyone.”
"Okay, I understand. Senior Brother Yan Chun, can I go back?" Liu Xin stood up and pointed to the front hall.
Yan Chun nodded.
When Liu Xin was surrounded by six people, he still felt unreal.
"Senior Brother, I'm so afraid that you will disappear after you go in and never come out!" Xiao Qi let out a long sigh.
When Liu Xin saw that the six people had more or less such emotions in their eyes, he smiled, comforted them, and conveyed all the words of Senior Brother Yan Chun.
If a major thing is said to only you, whether good or bad, it will cause tremendous pressure. But if it is said in front of a group of people, the pressure will be invisibly dispersed into several parts.
In fact, the pressure itself has not decreased, but when there are more people, the ability to withstand pressure will increase exponentially.
After listening to Liu Xin's words, Liulang was the first to start his analysis.
"Senior Brother, do you think Senior Brother Yan Chun's words are credible? That's what I think. Could it be that the sect is facing some kind of crisis now, and they dispersed us to protect us?"
"Probably not. Senior brother Yan Chun has no reason to lie to me, and the sect has no reason to lie to all of us. In fact, the main reason is that the news is too sudden and requires us to make a decision immediately, so we feel uneasy. At worst, you have finished making your choice. After deciding on the path we want to take, we set out together. No one said we have to act separately. Whether you are a teacher or a county magistrate, we can still be in the same place."
Liu Xin chuckled, this was actually a loophole he discovered. Although everyone's road is different, there can be many compatible roads in the same city, and there is no reason why they must be separated.
"Elder brother, that's not right. These routes arranged by the sect were created with great effort by the secret investigation team. How could they be in the same area?" Rokuro asked.
Liu Xin said meaningfully: "With the abilities of our brothers, how can we be restricted by the secret investigation team? Even if I become the emperor and live in the imperial capital. If the brothers are all in Nandu, then I will order the capital to be moved. You Look, there is always a way. If you can’t think of it, ask me, senior brother, and I’ll do it..."
"Have you said enough! Come in here, how long do you want me to wait!" Just as Liu Xin was telling his plan, Yan Chun was already impatient. Originally, he had just accepted the job, and the elders just gave orders. . Such a plan was hatched out of the blue, but it was a few of their direct disciples who actually implemented it. And those senior brothers hid one by one. He thought that all the direct senior brothers must have returned after receiving the summons. In the end, he was the only one who became the coolie, but his boredom was directed at these juniors. broke out.
Liu Xin curled his lips, but did not dare to confront Yan Chun. He quickly urged the brothers to go in, not forgetting to tell them: "Come out after you have made your choice. We brothers will work together."
But to Liu Xin's surprise, Yan Chun directly called the other people into the back room. Liu Xin waited for a full hour but didn't see any of his brothers come out. Suddenly he realized something was wrong. When he entered the back room, he only saw Yan Chun.
"Senior Brother Yan Chun, where are Xiong Er and the others?" Liu Xin felt extremely upset. These junior brothers usually obeyed his orders and followed his lead. They would come to him for advice if anything happened. Moreover, he also gave instructions to several people, so It's impossible to disappear without saying anything. There must be a problem, and the source of this problem is Yan Chun!
Yan Chun was holding a book "Northern Geography" in his hand. This was a book during the Northern Barbarian invasion and rule. A scholar in the North went deep into the Northern Barbarian grasslands and saw all the Northern Barbarian scenery. After Emperor Wu returned to the country, the scholar was already old. Emperor Wu heard about his affairs and came to visit him personally and asked the old gentleman to write this "Northern Geography". This book has been widely passed down. It is the best choice for the Han people of the Zhengyang Empire to understand the Northern Barbarian grasslands. It was also the book that the Zhengyang Dynasty must refer to when formulating a series of plans for the Northern Barbarian Grasslands over the past hundred years.
Many generals who lead troops like to read this book, and Liu Xin only heard about it, but as a warrior, although there are many who read this book, most of them treat it as a miscellaneous book. They didn't care about the scenery of the Northern Barbarian grasslands. The folk customs in the Northern Barbarians were too fierce and the force value was very high. Ordinary warriors were not willing to go there.
"Senior Brother Yan Chun, Xiong Er and the others..." Seeing that Yan Chun ignored him, Liu Xin could only ask again.
Yan Chun raised his head and looked at Liu Xin, and raised the "Northern Geography" in his hand towards him.
Liu Xin's face turned pale and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Senior Brother Yan Chun arranged for them to go to the Northern Barbarians!"
The Holy Sect's secret investigation team also has branches in the Northern Barbarian Grassland. Since the secret investigation team's power in Zhengyang has shrunk, its investment in the Northern Barbarians and the west has been much greater.
Yan Chun's face darkened and he yelled angrily: "Get out! I asked you not to disturb my reading!"
Liu Xin knew Yan Chun's temperament. He was a gentle and gentle person on weekdays, but in fact he was extremely bold in his actions.
He knew that he would not get any information from Yan Chun. In the current situation, his junior brothers must have been forcibly arranged to leave. He just didn't know where they went. They probably didn't go to the Beiman Grassland, right? No!
Liu Xin looked sad, and he even felt that he might have lost this group of junior brothers.
After he left the big study, he came to his residence alone. This is a small building alone carved out on the edge of a steep cliff. After closing the door, Liu Xin decided not to think about the whereabouts of his junior brothers, as the sect would not harm them.
Opening the information marked in red, Liu Xin scanned it roughly and finally focused on a few words:
Jinyiwei, hundreds of households!
