"Peng!"
The two palms hit each other head-on, making a dull sound.
Master Miejie spurted out a mouthful of blood, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Master!"
All the female disciples of the Emei Sect changed their minds and exclaimed. They drew their swords and stepped forward to protect Master Jue. However, facing a terrifying master who beat their master until he vomited blood and was seriously injured in just a few moves, they all trembled in their hearts. , the hand holding the sword was also trembling slightly.
Wu Zhifang, who was wearing a scholar's scarf and a green shirt, with a childish face and white hair, slowly raised his hand to the "Yitian Sword" he had just grabbed with his other hand. He smiled at Master Miejie, who was being supported by Ji Xiaofu and sat up with his upper body, and said: "Master Tai is obviously no match for me, but he still refuses to use the magic weapon of the 'Yitian Sword'. Is it because he is afraid that I will see the mystery in this sword?"
Master Miejie was so furious that his face turned pale, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. Then he laughed miserably and said, "It turns out that you have been hiding from the side just now and peeking at everything. With your cultivation, you can hide it from Hu Huan, who is also the Grand Master. It’s also reasonable.”
Wu Zhifang said with some emotion: "Taoist Hu Yuan is said to be only in his forties, but his martial arts skills are really respectable and awe-inspiring. It took a lot of effort for me to hide his senses. ."
Master Miejie said bitterly: "Wu Zhifang, you are not only a great master of martial arts, but also a famous Confucian scholar. However, you have humiliated your ancestors by bending down to serve the Yi and Di. Now you are willing to be driven by Yuan Meng to use his murderous sword, but you still have the slightest bit left. The integrity of a warrior and the integrity of a scholar?"
Wu Zhifang shook his head and said: "If you want to delay the time to wait for reinforcements, you don't have to. I waited until Taoist Hu Yun left for the west before turning back to chase you. As for my character, hey... Xia Chong can't talk about ice. Where is it your turn to judge?"
"But I want to know what reason this old Mr. Wu has to be so confident even after he became a traitor and a lackey!"
Hearing this joking voice, everyone from the Emei faction looked happy, but Wu Zhifang's face darkened.
This was not only because the other party directly denounced him as a "traitor and lackey", but also because the only owner of this voice was Hu Long, whom he was sure to have gone away just now.
Hu Long slowly walked out of the darkness a little further away, his face still filled with a warm smile as usual, but his eyes were as calm and indifferent as an ancient well.
He had read a lot of books in his previous life, and had also seen records of Wu Zhifang in history books. Although there is no and impossible information in the history books that this man was actually a great master of martial arts, the description of his life is generally good.
Therefore, Hu Long knew that this well-educated Confucian not only single-handedly trained Tuotuo, a "virtuous prime minister" in the late Yuan Dynasty, but also acted as Tuotuo's staff and tried his best to provide him with advice and suggestions to maintain and consolidate Yuanmeng's rule. Contribute.
Although Hu Long does not completely agree with the statement that "there is no China after Yashan". But after the Battle of Yashan, Lu Xiufu carried the eight-year-old young emperor Zhao Bing on his back across the sea to his death, and the heroism of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians resolutely followed him. Indeed, many people today, especially many scholars who talk about loyalty, filial piety and justice, really lack one. A spine that would rather break than bend.
Wu Zhifang keenly sensed the malice and murderous intention against him in Hu Long's heart. While secretly concentrating on his luck, he restored the calm expression on his face and said with his hands in hand: "It turns out that I couldn't hide from Taoist Hu Long's sense after all. I thought I was right." The mantis hunts the cicada, but it doesn't know that there is a yellow bird like Tao Chang behind it."
This sentence contained a hint of cleverness, implying that Hu Yuan knew that he was hiding on one side, but did not show up until he seriously injured Master Jue. It was clear that he had evil intentions.
Hu Long would only pass the blame to others, but he would not let others put the blame on his back. He said calmly: "Pindao did sense that someone was lurking in the dark, but he couldn't catch the other person's location. At first, he just thought it was a target. He came from a poor place, so he used some tricks to induce him to show up.
"When he found out that the other party had actually left, Pindao was shocked to realize that his target might still be Pindao, and his targets were Emei, Kunlun, Kongtong and the Beggar Clan. His intentions were extremely sinister. It's a pity that even though Pindao guessed that you would We took action against the Emei faction, but it was too late."
"What a treacherous traitor, he is indeed a loyal lackey of Yuan Meng!" Master Miejie yelled angrily.
She was not stupid. When Hu Long said this, she immediately understood that this was Yuan Meng's poisonous plan. She planned to kill herself and all her disciples and then blame Hu Long, making Hu Long, the great master, a public enemy in the martial arts world. He is sinister and vicious with all his heart.
Wu Zhifang did not expect Hu Long to be so cunning. He transferred all the blame back to himself in just a few words. His astuteness and clever words were no less impressive than his "transferring flowers to jade" skills that he used to use his own strength.
"It seems that Taoist Hu Yuan has a deep prejudice against me, but I am not greedy for personal wealth when I am committed to the court. Otherwise, I would not let a student who is the prime minister of the court be left alone, while I only have the empty title of a scholar."
Although he could see that Hu Yuan and he were not the same person, he still made efforts to win over such a person with extremely strong strength and scheming.
"What I want is to implement the words of our ancestors, 'When the Yi and Di enter China, the country will be restored', and promote the integration of Yuanmeng and Mongolia into the Han Dynasty from top to bottom. When the Yuanmeng, from the emperor to the common people, everyone will be educated by the Han Dynasty. If you wear Chinese clothes, write Chinese characters, and speak Chinese language, there will be no distinction between Chinese and foreigners. Unless you meet a wise man like Taoist Master, I would not bother to explain these principles to you."
Master Miejie's face turned from white to black when she heard this. She knew that she must be the stupid person that the other party "disdains to talk to".
With a sincere look on his face, Wu Zhifang continued to make an impassioned speech to Hu Yuan: "Since the Taoist priest has entered the mortal world, he must have the ambition to help the world and save the people. I can ask my disciple Tuotuo to recommend the Taoist priest to the emperor. At that time, with the help of Taoist priest With long-term means, it is not difficult to win the emperor's trust. You and I can work together to achieve this unparalleled achievement, which will make our name famous at that time and immortal in history. Is Taoist Master interested?"
"When the Yi Di enter China, they will conquer China. There is some truth in this statement."
After Hu Long said something that made Wu Zhi look surprised and everyone in the Emei faction changed their expressions, he immediately changed the subject,
"But that needs to be dominated by China. After the Yuan and Mongolia courts are overthrown and China's orthodoxy is restored, those 'Yidi' who are willing to stay in the Central Plains will naturally be willing to be 'Chinese'."
Wu Zhifang shook his head repeatedly and said: "This dynasty has been established for many years, and the world that has gone through wars has gradually recovered some of its vitality. If we use weapons again, it will only make living beings unable to live in peace and suffer misery. It is harmful but useless. I hope the Taoist priest will think twice!"
After hearing this argument, Hu Yuan maintained the subsidy with a fake smile on his face and said coldly: "Under the rule of Yuan and Meng, the status of the Han people was as low as that of cattle and horses. Even their property, wives, daughters, and even their lives could be taken away by others. .It’s okay not to live in peace like this!”
Wu Zhifang hurriedly said: "This is exactly the state that I want to work on changing, as long as..."
Hu Yuan waved his hand violently and said categorically: "Your Excellency, there is no need to say more. You and I each have our own beliefs, and no one can convince the other. We can only imitate the old fight between Confucius and Shaozhengmao. If it cannot change its spirit, then we will eliminate it." Its body. Whoever can survive is the reasonable one!"
Knowing that he could not convince the other party after all, Wu Zhifang had no choice but to sigh, and raised his hand to pull out the "Yitian Sword" that he had snatched from Miejie Shitai - of course, what he pulled out was only a broken sword two feet long.
Facing an opponent of the same level, Hu Long did not dare to raise his hand. He reached into his left sleeve with his right hand and took out the wooden sword "Ming Ling" from the jade gourd hanging on his wrist.
