In a village in Chiyuan Kingdom, Li Zhilan and others came to a small stall and ate noodles while looking at the restaurant that they had been kicked out of before. The restaurant is at the end of the alley, and they are eating noodles at the end of the alley.
Another child, wearing the same clothes as the leader of the Tianji Sect, walked towards a few people, holding a few books in his hand. He seemed to be looking around and said, "Do you want to join the Tianji Sect? "
Li Zhilan smiled and said: "Oh, does this little brother have any connections?"
When the child saw Li Zhilan asking this question, he smiled, then took out a few books from his clothes, came to them, and whispered: "Hey, you've asked the right person. You just need to buy it from me. If you read these books, we will have a class here that recommends you to join. For only fifty taels of silver, there will be a special master to teach you the knowledge of these books. Don't say that you can easily enter heaven. It’s easy to become a disciple and enter the eyes of the leader.”
Li Zhilan gave the money and took several books from the child. One was about medicine, one was about farming, one was about Confucianism, and the remaining few were martial arts classics. Li Zhilan then asked with a smile: "Little brother, can't you study these books on your own? I don't think it's very difficult. Or is it that if I sign up for your class, there is a back door? Huh? Can you please see the leader soon?"
When the children received the money, they lowered their heads and their eyes were wide open. It was just money to buy books, and it hadn't defrauded them into paying for classes. But don't be in a hurry. Play the long game and catch big fish. You have to let me explain it carefully. Several times.
He raised his head, put on a nervous look, and whispered: "My lord, you really guessed it. Our course is just a course on the surface, but in fact the teachers in it are all teachers of Tianji Sect. As long as you sign up Well, they will find a way to send you to the Tianji Sect. In fact, you also know, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big trees. People who go out to travel in the world just want to find someone to lean against. "
The boss suddenly said: "Humph, come on, Xiaodoupi, stop bragging. People won't buy your courses."
The child's face turned red all of a sudden: "Hey, boss, as promised, I'm doing business with you. If you don't expose me, I'll split the bill with you 30/70. Aren't you taking away my job?"
The boss smiled and said: "Do you still remember that incident at the Alley Inn a few days ago? No, these people in front of you are the protagonists."
The child's eyes widened and he immediately snatched back all the books in Li Zhilan's hand: "Okay, it turns out they are some old antiques from the conservatives. They are still wasting so much of my time, bah. I don't do antiques, young man. Business." After saying that, he spat at Li Zhilan's feet. Turn around and leave.
"Hey, I paid for the book." Li Zhilan shouted loudly. As a result, the child ran faster and fled into other alleys.
Li Zhilan looked at the boss: "Boss, you are a bit unreasonable."
The boss consciously put two bottles of small wine on the table: "Child, I just want to go to school to earn some money. No, these two bottles of small wine are just for me."
Li Zhilan smiled and said: "Boss, are you a conservative or a Tianji sect? Also, didn't it mean that the arrival of Tianji sect has allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and all the children can read? How could it be like this? ?”
Seeing that they were the only customers at the table, the boss took out an extra bottle of wine from the stall and sat next to them: "I don't care about this. There are some people like me who don't care about this. They all think that as long as it is beneficial, That’s fine, so the people in our country are probably divided into three types of thinking now, one is conservative, the other is Tianji, and the other is us.”
"As for the child's matter, I personally prefer Gong Yuansong's side. What Tianji Sect said is good for the people is true, but it is just for the people in the small town. As you can see, I am doing Noodles. I definitely have to buy ingredients, and sometimes I have to go to the village to pick the ingredients myself. It’s okay if I don’t go, but when I go I find that most of the villagers are already talking about it, and they keep using their children to offer sacrifices to God. , I have always believed in Tianji Religion. That scene, even if I watch it on a sunny day, is very breathtaking."
"Another time, people in a village stopped working and started fighting each other after being rescued by the Tianji Sect. I didn't even dare to go. The court sealed the news, but it was leaked later. Gong Yuansong Let’s just say it’s caused by the Tianji Sect. The Tianji Sect says it’s caused by the plague, and people are not allowed to enter. Most of the people believe in the Tianji Sect, which is ridiculous.”
"No one goes to seek verification, so they just blindly believe what one party says. I'm not saying that Gong Yuansong's side is correct, but they at least tried hard to check it out, even if it was just pretending. But the court can't say for sure. , it’s just not allowed. Tell me, which one is more guilty, and which one is more reliable?”
Zhao Xuanhu said: "The boss seems to be a bit knowledgeable."
The boss shook his hand: "I'm just a small businessman. I just like to think about some problems when I have nothing to do. I have also read a few holy books. Whether I am doing business, doing farm work, or being an official, I have nothing to do. Do I need to think carefully about the current situation and the future situation? Just like buying ingredients, you have to shop around to know which one is the best. Otherwise, if I could survive until now, I would have been sold out by the inns in the alley. It’s business.”
The boss got up and walked back to the stall because a new customer had arrived.
Gu Tianhai sighed: "If everyone was like the boss and thought more, the world might be better."
Zhao Xuanhu said: "That is naturally good, but it must be in moderation. If everyone behaves like the boss, then everyone has their own ideas and wants to protect their own interests. Then who will protect the world? What about the interests? It’s a mess and no one can take charge of the overall situation.”
Gu Tianhai took a sip of tea and did not refute. He understood what Zhao Xuanhu said. The boss did not act as the leader, but remained neutral. However, his heart was actually leaning towards one side. However, the boss just did not take the lead. If everyone acted like the boss and did not rush, Don't be in a hurry, keep an eye on it first, and when the situation becomes clearer, if you speak, I'm afraid the other side has already occupied everything and captured everything.
Qian Shantai said: "Old Zhao, I don't deny your statement, but I still stand with Lao Gu. There can be more people like the boss, and the boss can be more tactful. While protecting his own safety, he can It’s good to change the status quo subtly.”
When Wang Yundian heard this, he said, "Isn't this a saint?"
Everyone looked at Qian Shantai at the same time. Qian Shantai coughed a few times, took a sip of tea, and looked at Wang Yindian, "You kid, don't talk if you don't know how to speak. Eat noodles."
Wang Yundian immediately changed the subject: "Guys, what should we do now? I've been eating noodles here for several days."
Zhao Xuanhu smiled and said: "What is supposed to come will come naturally. Don't be anxious, young man. Just wait patiently."
After a while, Zhao Xuanhu asked the boss to pay the bill, put down a few coins, and left with everyone. Wang Yundian didn't understand this operation, but he still followed it and left. It seemed that he would come here to eat noodles again tomorrow.
About half an hour later, a man in black clothes and a knife came to the noodle stall. No one was around. The man asked: "Boss, are those people you mentioned yesterday here today?"
"Oh, here we are. But we left half an hour ago."
The man sighed helplessly and asked the boss to make a bowl of noodles. As Lord Gong Yuansong's personal bodyguard, he was one of the top ten eighth-grade martial arts masters in the entire Chi Yuan Kingdom. For several days, he could not find any trace of ordinary people.
The moment the boss brought the noodles, the man sighed and said, "Say boss, I won't be here tomorrow. It's better to just tell them directly and let them say that Master Gong Yuansong is looking for them."
The boss smiled and said: "Didn't you say that the adults want you to just go with the flow? Why, you can't stand it anymore?"
The man leaned on the table, not afraid of losing face as an eighth-grade master, and sighed again: "Sir, you say you can just let it go, but in fact, the thing you look forward to most every day is that I can bring back good news. I can As you can see, every time I go back, Master Gong’s eyes look disappointed when he sees me coming back alone.”
The man looked at the boss. After what he had said, the boss still looked indifferent. The man continued: "Uncle Xian, are you really not going to go back and be the master behind the scenes? The master is alone now. It's very tiring."
The boss stopped what he was doing for a while, then quickly started moving again, shaking his head: "No, officialdom is no longer suitable for me. I don't have the energy to guard against anyone, but although I don't Help Mr. Gong, but there are still people who will help him. Don’t worry. Eat your noodles and go back. As for what you told me, I will tell you."
The man glanced at the man washing the dishes with his back to him. He didn't look good now, and he was busy and tired, but it was obvious that he was very happy. The man thanked him loudly and started eating the noodles.
Li Zhilan and his party came to the door of a chess room, Puya Chess Room. The name fits the chess room quite well. There are simply a few chess boards placed inside, and even the things to sit on are just a few simple pieces of straw.
There was an old man playing chess alone inside. Zhao Xuanhu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old sir, do you mind talking to me about a game?"
The old man looked up and saw that the person he was talking to was the same person who was kicked out by everyone in the inn a few days ago? The old man looked back and saw that the other people were also there. The old man showed a rare smile: "Okay, since the young master has this intention, I am naturally willing. You guys can do what you want."
Li Zhilan smiled and said: "No need, old gentleman, we don't know how to play chess. I wonder if we can read these books?"
Gong Yuansong stretched out his hand: "You guys can help yourself."
Zhao Xuanhu pointed to the side: "Old sir, guess first."
Gong Yuansong smiled and grabbed a handful of chess pieces. Zhao Xuanhu guessed wrong and took the black chess piece. The respectful member is Song, holding the white chess piece.
Gong Yuan Song held a chess piece with both fingers and placed it at Tianyuan: "A few of you don't look like the people of our Chiyuan Kingdom."
Zhao Xuanhu placed a piece on the star position: "We are here to find someone."
"I'm very sorry. You came at the wrong time and let you see the scene of our Chiyuan Kingdom."
"No, the person we are looking for happens to be in this scene. It can also be said that we all have a common goal."
Gong Yuansong and Zhao Xuanhu looked at each other, understanding each other. Yes, their common goal: to defeat the Tianji Sect.
"If there's anything I can do to help you, just ask."
"Not yet. When we are in need, we will naturally ask Master Gong for help. Why don't you, Master Gong Yuansong, tell us what you need our help with now."
Gong Yuan Song gave birth to a child, but he didn't expect that he had been sending Jin Ying to look for a few people, but he found out everyone's name very well. With such a powerful character, it is really possible to compete with the Tianji Sect.
Gong Yuansong also shook his head: "I don't know how to deal with the current situation. Do you have any advice that can help me resolve my doubts?"
Zhao Xuanhu picked up a piece and dropped it on the chessboard, and then brought the Wuqi piece out: "Of course you can't see the whole situation clearly when you are in the middle of the game. We will have to watch it for a few more days before we can give you an answer. Your Majesty, Mr. Yuansong."
"Excuse me for asking, how sure are you of the Heavenly Jijiao?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Gong Yuansong. Now that we are here, we are 100% sure that the entire Tianji Sect will be disintegrated, and that the Tianji Sect will be completely eliminated from the minds of the people of Chiyuan Kingdom."
Gong Yuansong looked at Zhao Xuanhu, then at the other people, and said with a smile: "Okay, now that you have said so. I will also spend more energy to help you. I would like to thank you all in advance. "
Gong Yuan Song stood up and raised his hands, and everyone returned the greeting.
——
On the top of a mountain, Zhao Jishi and Li Nizhao stood together again. This scene seemed similar, as if the two of them had stood on a high place and looked into the distance before.
It's just that last time they hadn't officially started the plan, but this time their plan has already begun.
"You really don't want that thing you hid in Lianzhu Country? Will they really find it there?" Li Yuzhao asked.
"Don't worry, he will definitely find it. We two brothers, in fact, he can see through every move I make, it's just a matter of time. He is always one step slow, always behind me. But, he is always Better than me, why do you think that is?" Zhao Jishi said.
"I can understand what you are saying. I am obviously better than him, but I still feel unwilling to accept it. I always feel that I am not as good as him. Therefore, I also hate my brother so much that I even killed him. However, his death , I feel a little regretful again, I will never be able to surpass him." Li Mizhao said.
They both sighed at the same time and looked into the distance. However, the two have different thoughts. However, the game between the two sides has only officially begun.
